What about Kuwabara? the man who raped a 100 pointer?
Nop, they call it "Black Candy Chan".Did Osaka ever refer to their ball as Gantz?
Gantz is also a nickname...it was the name of a character of an old japanese series. He also gave points like the black sphere does.
And Black Candy...well, the black spheres look like giant black candys...
Am I the only one thinking that after seeing how the suits fair they oughta have Halo style energy shields? That be kinda awesome if they did....
After re-reading the chapter, I've noticed something about the statues. At least, the Angel-statues, not the Poseidon-like-things.
Does anyone think that they're doing an unnatural amount of damage to the Gantzers? Even if they can cut through suits, we don't see the movement at all. All one of the statues does is land on an Italian Gantzer and he just kinda explodes. Then there's Kurono and Katou's counter-attack with the Gantz Swords: by the looks of things, Katou's strike makes sense. He strikes upwards, hits the statue's leg and the sword breaks. But Kurono moves the blade down, the other statue grabs it between it's toes and rips it off somehow... But the blade is held at a really weird angle...
The overall weirdness of the Angel statues movements lead me to the following possibilites:
#1: They have a similiar psychic ability like Nuri in his demon-ish form.
#2: Their movements are so fast, they're completely invisible to a human (making it absolutely impossible to defend against them)
#3: My favourite theory: the statues do damage to everything they even touch. Which would explain why the Italian Gantzers are dying this quick. It would make this mission very interesting and somehow, it seems like Oku's style to me.
They seem to have a hell of strenght, they hit the Head of the hunters, but due to the suit power all the hit goes directly to the upper body, breaking it appart.
Why just the legs? it seems more practical to me than attacaking with the arms...anyway...a lot of them have music instruments and they don't want to lose their design...hehe...i don't think all their power is on their legs.
It could be also somekind of Psychic attack, but after how their skins were capable to resist and break some Gantz swords, then i'll go with the Incredible strenght.
Personally, I want to see a UK team. The US has Chuck Norris, but we have Ross Kemp!!! (non-UK people - google him up)
Ross Kemp is biologically INCAPABLE of mincing.
Ross Kemp refuses to call pinck by its name. Instead he calls it very, very pale red.

I love photographing wildlife like this... it's not always easy. I'm amazed that he stands out so bright among his surroundings... so unlike most species that want to blend in. They are such patient hunters. I saw one a couple of summers ago catch a fish and tried over and over to get it vertically in its bill so it could swallow it. But it was stuck horizontally. I used up a lot of video footage taping him with that fish! LOL!
haha, I know what you mean Tracey, I took tons of pics this day and really only got about 10 good ones! I spotted this bird so far back in the swamp but he looked so beautiful and peaceful in his surroundings. I could watch them for hours, I have another image from this day of a bird picking a shrimp right out of the water, I have to post it, it was awesome to watch. I never really photographed the Everglades and I live so close to it, I've started to really take more pride in where I grew up and I'm glad I get to show others how beautiful it really is down here.

Rep. Alice Hausman, DFL-St. Paul, acknowledged on Tuesday that the lack of a regional events center in northern Minnesota could work to Bemidji's advantage. Hausman, the chair of the House Capital Investment Committee, was in town along with other committee members as they reviewed Bemidji's regional events center proposal.
Every year the Blandin Foundation board of trustees visits a different part of Minnesota for the annual retreat. Thanks to board member Jim Bensen, former Bemidji State University president and "Bemidji Leads!" chair, the Blandin Foundation came to Bemidji this week for its first time. The Blandin Foundation's mission is to strengthen rural Minnesota.
Nancy Erickson's patience is running out. "I'm losing my zest here," City Councilor Erickson said during Monday's meeting. The Bemidji City Council for weeks has been told to expect, at the least, a statement from Bemidji State University President Jon Quistgaard regarding BSU's intentions concerning the proposed Bemidji events center before legislators visit the city to consider its bonding request. Members of the Capital Investment Finance committee in the House of Representatives arrive this afternoon to hear Bemidji's proposal and tour the site of the proposed facility. And Quistgaard
While driving along Becida Road, you're in Schmitt territory. John and Christine Schmitt came to the area in the late 1800s. They purchased 137 acres of land and homesteaded in 1898. Their grandson, Charles Schmitt Jr., said it was quite possibly the first farm on the Mississippi. Not only is the house still standing, but it still is being lived in - now by John and Christine's great-great-great--grandson Ryan Martin, whose two children represent the sixth generation to use the home. John and Christine were German, but they met in Wahpeton, N.D., after coming over separately from Europe.
The Bemidji City Council on Monday again will discuss the events center. During each regular council meeting the council receives updates from the Headwaters Regional Development Commission on its work regarding the events center. Additionally on Monday, the City Council is expected to name a committee that will meet with Bemidji State University regarding negotiations. The City Council is currently supporting a $50 million facility, which would include an events center that also would house BSU hockey.
Every emergency preparedness drill offers the opportunity to learn something new, according to officials who attended Thursday's training exercise. "One of the biggest problems that always exists during any real disaster or real crisis event is communication," said Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp. During Thursday's mock disaster, officials realized they had a communication problem during the initial briefing, he said.
About 15 people attended a meeting on Thursday to discuss their hopes for the future of the Bemidji Public Library. Ideas ranged from increasing the selection of books on tape and CD to starting a mentoring program to help children improve their reading skills. And, being open on Sundays. Library consultant Mark Ranum was tapped by the Kitchigami Regional Library System board to facilitate public meetings and compile surveys gauging the public's desires for the future of its libraries.
A Bemidji woman has been charged with felony fleeing police in a motor vehicle, misdemeanor obstructing the legal process and misdemeanor reckless driving. Shannon Karleen Nelson, 35, of Bemidji, was charged this week in Otter Tail County District Court, according to the county attorney's office. Nelson led several law enforcement agencies on a high-speed chase that began shortly after 8:30 p.m. in Menahga in Wadena County, according the Wadena County Attorney Kyra L. Ladd.
Bemidji is welcoming fall with a few new businesses, expansion of an existing business and the relocation of another. City Planner Curt Oakes on Tuesday provided updates on several construction projects in the city. -- Thinking Arby's? You'll have to wait a few more months, but the fast-food chain is set to soon open an Arby's Restaurant in Bemidji. Oakes said a permit was issued to Arby's last week and the company broke ground for the restaurant on Monday. Arby's will be located on Paul Bunyan Drive Northwest across from the Bemidji Chrysler Center.
While the Legislature will convene today for a special legislative session, the Bemidji City Council is disappointed that it won't address the previously vetoed budget bill. The vetoed bill included an additional $428,000 in Local Government Aid for Bemidji. The City Council has bemoaned the loss of those funds since, saying that it will drive up the local tax levy for residents. Had the city secured that funding, councilors likely would have supported no levy increase for 2008.

(CNN) — A moment of silence at the finish line, the tolling of church bells and a solemn flag-raising ceremony capped the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing Tuesday.
Under a steady rain on Boylston Street, where two homemade bombs last April 15 marked the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11, scores gathered in the personification of a slogan that captured the country: "Boston Strong."
After a stirring rendition of "God Bless America," ordinary people, bombing survivors, first responders and dignitaries — including Vice President Joe Biden — bowed their heads in a moment of silence, saw the American flag raised, and sang the national anthem shortly before 3 p.m. on the spot where explosions, carnage, screams and smoke interrupted one of the city's most joyous and popular events one year ago.
Earlier, thousands gathered to mark the anniversary of a horror that shook the nation.
"We would never wish the devastation and pain we have experienced on any of you," said Patrick Downes, who was among the many injured in the twin bombings at last year's Boston Marathon. "However, we do wish that all of you, at some point in your lives, feel as loved as we have felt this last year. It has been the most humbling experience of our lives. We hope you feel all the emotion we feel when we say 'thank you.'"
Downes was a newlywed at the time of the attack. He and his wife, Jessica Kensky, each lost a leg.
Before the crowd gathered Tuesday at the Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center, he spoke of the three people killed in the blasts and a university police officer killed days later amid efforts to catch the suspects. He called them "guardian angels."
"Let's show them they live on in our bonds of family, friendship and community and in the infectious spirit we will feel on the third Monday in April for years to come." That's the date of the marathon.
After a string of speakers, Biden began his remarks by saying, "I've never witnessed a tribute like I heard today." To the survivors, he said, "My God, you have survived and you have soared. You are truly inspiring. I've never heard anything so beautiful as what all of you just said."
"So much has been taken from you, but you never, never have given up," he said.
"You have become the face of America's resolve for the whole world to see," Biden said, adding that people all around the world know the pride, courage, and resolve of Bostonians. "That's why the twisted, cowardly terrorists who acted here and in other places do what they do. They try to instill fear so that we will jettison what we value the most and what the world most values about us: an open society, our system of justice, our freedom of religion; our access to opportunity, the free flow of information and ideas."
The terrorists, Biden said, "wanted to make America afraid so that maybe, maybe, we'd begin to change our ways. That's the objective — the very soul of who we are. They figured if they instill enough fear, we will change. And it infuriates them that we refuse to bend, refuse to change, refuse to yield to fear.
"You are Boston strong. But America is strong … That's what makes us so proud of this city and this state. What makes me so proud to be an American is that we have never, ever yielded to fear. Never."
At the marathon, "the whole world witnessed ordinary citizens doing extraordinary things" to help each other, the vice president said.
"America will never, ever, ever stand down," he said. "We are Boston. We are America. We respond, we endure, we overcome and we own the finish line."
"Next week, we will run again," said Tom Grilk, executive director of the Boston Athletic Association. "But on this day, in this place, in remembrance and resolve, we gather as citizens of Boston, Boston strong."
One year ago, "the very fabric of this community was tested to its core," he said, but the city "inspired."
"You are strong at this broken place," former Mayor Tom Menino told the crowd, adding, "the heartbeat of Boston is a mighty force."
To those who lost loved ones and to the many who were wounded, Menino said, "whatever you have to do to recover and carry on, know that the people of Boston and I will be right there by your side." Menino was mayor at the time of the attack.
On April 15, 2013, the Patriots' Day bombings killed three people, including an 8-year-old boy, and wounded at least 264 others. The city then underwent days of fear as the two identified suspects, the Tsarnaev brothers, were on the run. Police say they killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer in the process, and then Tamerlan Tsarnaev was run over by his younger brother, Dzhokhar, as they battled police. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 counts and is scheduled to go on trial in November.

A sudden rain shower can transform our city and our senses and make a different world. In this interactive workshop, we'll create our own storm, right in the library, with poetry, music, and a special slideshow.
Among his many masterworks, Neruda wrote poems about the mysterious power of poetry itself, a power embraced by Chilean culture. This evening focuses on the evolution of Neruda as a political poet, his struggle and exile at the hands of his own government, his death in the wake of the military coup, and his redemption after democracy returned to Chile.
Whether Anne Carson responds to Virginia Woolf or Samuel Beckett, or Caroline Bergvall composes with Dante, poets enter each other's texts directly and indirectly. But how do we enter into another's text and still retain an original voice? Where are the boundaries? In this workshop we will encounter multiple responses to Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and Emily Dickinson, and tackle a variety of writing exercises designed to create new pathways to one's own, as well as other's, work.
This workshop involves reading, writing, and debate about the love poem. The sonnet form, traditionally focused on love, will provide a starting point for in-class writing exercises. We'll also examine strategies and techniques as they are variously employed by poets such as: Ian Duhig, Michael Donaghy, Carol Ann Duffy, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sharon Olds, C.K. Williams, Hugo Williams, Alice Oswald, Tom Clarke, Paul Muldoon and Douglas Dunn. You needn't be in love to attend.
This is a workshop for poets who are looking to enrich and enliven their writing practice, creating new and expansive possibilities for the poem. We will explore diverse strategies, including collage, word games, ekphrastic experiments, and systematized destruction of the expected. The class is process-oriented and aims at enlarging poetic vocabularies and notions of form. We will read some writings by established poets in addition to discussing our own works-in-progress in a supportive atmosphere.
Poets House congratulates Cave Canem on a decade of nurturing emerging African-American poets.
According to W. H. Auden, a poet feels most like a poet when making the last revision to a new poem. Yet so many times we get stuck in an early draft of a poem and don't know how to proceed. How can we enter and re-imagine the poem, both formally and thematically? In this hands-on workshop dedicated to the art of revision, students will learn a variety of techniques and approaches for turning the inert draft into a poem that breathes and sings.

Have any of you ever put your mash tun to the limits, where your mash tun is a keggle? I have a keggle with one of Jay Birds false bottoms, so i lose a gallon to dead space. I am planning on brewing a weeheavy and for an 11 gallon batch, i'm looking at 36 pounds of grain. I'lll probably do a 1 qt/pound grist ratio. Rackers calculator shows i would need 11.88 + 1 gallon deadspace FB, 12.88 gallons of space needed total. I've done some big mashes before, but this may be pushing the limits. Any thoughts? I think i'll be fine, but always appreciate the input on HBT.
40 Gallons brewed in 2013....and counting 33 Gallons brewed in 2012 159 Gallons brewed in 2011My Brutus 10
Sure, all the time. I've had my keggle MLT within a few inches of the top many times. Even with a gallon loss to the false bottom your looking at 14.5 gallons to utilize. No worries. With my system I loose some efficiency points when I'm doing brews that big though. 4-5% usually. Just something to think about.
yeah its been a while since i did a bigger beer, and im not the best note taker. i'll be losing points mashing at 158 too, so its going to be tough.
Just did a 15 gallon batch of pumpkin ale last night with 35 lbs of grain, it was about 5 inches from the top. I mashed 1.25 qts per lb. it was the first brew in that tun I was worried I was pushing the limit but turned out great.
I just did an American strong ale with 37lbs of grain and jay bird false bottom...maxed it out. I could barely dip my paddle in it without overflowing. Lost about 5% efficiency.
I did 36lbs. in mine w a JB false bottom. I recirc with a rims. I lost a little efficency and my flow was on the slow side, but everything seemed to work out ok. I'll really know in a couple more weeks.

The West continued to report the highest rate, 5.9 percent, despite a 0.4-percentage point decline from December 2003. The Midwest and South also recorded over-the-month rate decreases of 0.4-percentage point each. The unemployment rate for the Northeast was unchanged.

WASHINGTON – Newly re-elected President Barack Obama indicated willingness to compromise but called on lawmakers Friday to freeze income tax rates for most Americans while raising taxes on wealthier Americans.
In his first public remarks after his election victory, Obama invited the top leaders of Congress to the White House next week to discuss how to prevent the so-called "fiscal cliff" — a series of tax increases and spending cuts that could push the United States into a recession.
"I'm open to new ideas. I'm committed to solving our fiscal challenge," Obama said.
"But I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."
Obama said his re-election gives him mandate to raise taxes on wealthier Americans. But Republicans strongly oppose the plan and insist it cannot be a part of a move to prevent the fiscal cliff.
"Most of all they want action. I tend to deliver, for them, in my second term," Obama said.
"I expect to find willing partners in both parties to make that happen."
"We can't just cut our way to prosperity. If we're serious about reducing the deficit, we have to combine spending cuts with revenue," Obama said.
House Speaker John Boehner said he is willing to compromise but did not offer any details.
The year-end fiscal cliff involves $500-billion worth of automatic tax increases and government spending cuts. Tax rates would rise for nearly all Americans, Obama said.
"Everybody's taxes will automatically go up on Jan. 1. Everybody's — That makes no sense. That would be bad for the economy," he said.
Lawmakers face a Jan. 2 deadline to forge an agreement.

While Eric Schneiderman's MERS lawsuit mostly crashed and burned, another suit against the electronic registry, filed just yesterday, appears to have more determination behind it. Jeff Thigpen, the register of deeds for Guilford County, North Carolina, sued MERS, the document processing company Lender Processing Services and several banks and loan servicers, using as evidence the contents of his register of deeds' office.

Thigpen Failed to Meet with President, Economic Advisers on WH Visit |
By: David Dayen Tuesday June 21, 2011 3:00 pm |
"It was a bust."
That's what Guilford County register of deeds Jeff Thigpen told me about his visit to the White House last Friday. Many were intrigued by the surprise announcement that Thigpen would be part of a reception and policy briefing some of the nation's brightest young legislators. He has been at the forefront among registers of deeds of the foreclosure fraud crisis, using the power of his office to document forgeries and other abuses by banks seeking to upend the land title recording system that has prevailed in America for centuries. There was a hope that this White House meeting would offer a chance for Thigpen to build on his success, and get the ear of top policymakers about the extent of the fraud.
It didn't pan out.

Register of Deeds O'Brien Rejects Fraudulent Foreclosure Documents |
By: David Dayen Tuesday June 7, 2011 1:15 pm |
Only now are we beginning to get the investigations showing the extent of the problems, between Field's findings, the subpoenas and spade work from state AGs, the HUD Inspector General report showing that the banks filed false claims to recoup government-funded insurance on FHA loans, and the recent discoveries from county registers of deeds. One register, Jeff Thigpen of Guilford County, North Carolina, looked through the records in his office and found thousands of instances of fraudulent documents and forged signatures. Another register, John O'Brien of the Southern Essex District in Massachusetts, has decided to reject all robo-signed records coming into his office, forcing the entities wishing to foreclosure under his jurisdiction to file separate forms.
Heroic Registers of Deeds Battling Mortgage Fraud |
By: David Dayen Thursday May 5, 2011 7:15 pm |
Federal regulators simply aren't that interested in investigating foreclosure fraud and laying down the appropriate punishments. Tom Miller is too busy deflecting criticism about massive campaign contributions from the banking sector to run a proper state-based investigation. So it's actually come down to the registers of deeds – the unassuming public servants working in county recorder's offices across the country and carefully recording the transfers of land titles – to step up and deliver some measure of accountability on the banks for violations of law.

Julia Roberts' half sister Nancy Motes found dead
Published on Feb 11, 2014 10:59 AM
LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - The half sister of Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts died from a possible drug overdose, the Los Angeles (LA) County Coroner's office said on Monday.
Nancy Motes, 37, was found dead in a bathtub full of water at a Los Angeles residence on Sunday, LA County Coroner spokesman Captain John Kades said.
Prescription drugs were found at the residence, which was not Motes's home. Mr Kades said nothing has been ruled out, including an accidental drug overdose or a suicidal overdose. He added that indications of a suicide note had been found at the residence.
An autopsy for Motes was scheduled for Monday, but an actual cause of death may take as long as eight to 10 weeks to be determined, pending a toxicology report.

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #198231
A vulnerability has been discovered in Feynmf allowing local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
2. Impact Information
Feynmf is a combined LaTeX and Metafont package for easy drawing of professional quality Feynman (and maybe other) diagrams.
Kevin B. McCarty discovered that the feynmf.pl script creates a temporary "properly list" file at the location "$TMPDIR/feynmf$PID.pl", where $PID is the process ID.
A local attacker could create symbolic links in the directory where the temporary files are written, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem that is writable by the user running Feynmf. When Feynmf writes the temporary file, the target valid file would then be overwritten with the contents of the Feynmf temporary file.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Feynmf users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-tex/feynmf-1.08-r2"

I've seen it range $25-$50 over the years, so is it high, yes. Outrageous? Not really.
$25 to $50 is the usual range around Indiananapolis also, with most being somewhere around $35.
It's high!! $25 is the "usuall" rate at any of the local shops In north central Indiana Any shop that started gouging their FFL rate would be a shop I no longer patronize...
There are sometimes reasons that FFL will raise their fees. The cost of doing business could create the raise. An informal agreement on rates with other FFL's should be the correct way to go But to take advantage of the current situation is just greedy (or they are trying to send you to someone else).

Today $35-$50 is the normal. A dealer advised me he use to charge $25. But due to the volume of people needing transfers and the fact that when the all come in it takes his sales people away from the counter dealing with his walk in customers who buy his weapons. He raised the price slightly. This to hopefully make up for the time and any customer that might walk out due to a wait! Which would result in possible lost business. 03

the FFLs in my area (monmouth/ocean county NJ) are between $30-$45. Maybe he feels since ammo and black guns have increased in price so should his fees?
Have seen $10 to $100. Do this- Go to Gunbroker.com. There is a "find a FFL" section. Plug in your zip code. Dealers that have registered with gunbroker as willing to do transfers are listed- most put their fees on there.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
$10 here- Don't think paper or phone call rates have gone up

I can definitely appreciate a website that offers exactly what is advertised—no ambiguous site titles or cloaked content. That's precisely what you'll encounter with GeneNetwork.org, which—surprise!—provides tools to delineate gene networks associated with particular phenotypes. A resource from the University of Tennessee, GeneNetwork.org allows one to do different types of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping (simple and composite interval mappings, as well as the pair-scan method), and various types of correlation analysis. These include principal component analysis (PCA), QTL heatmaps, and network graphs. The site has a nice introduction and "how-to" page, as well as an entire help section. There is also an impressive compilation of links relating to genomics research. At GeneNetwork.org, not only do you get exactly what you thought you'd get, you get exactly what you want.

Shepherd's Pie. I believe this is the ultimate shepherd's pie – a recipe designed to use up leftover roasted meat.
Historically, you'll find it had potato on the bottom, sides and top, so I was inspired to run with this, giving you a pie with crispy potato all the way round, gorgeous tender meat and veg in the middle, and the best gravy to pour over your portion. This is definitely next-level cooking. To be honest, it's so damn good that I'll usually roast a small lamb shoulder specially in order to make a big shepherd's pie for eight to ten people, which also gives you enough filling to freeze for another day – always a bonus. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas 3.

My husband often takes my son on camping trips, and I happily stay behind and thank the gods for our bug-free house, cozy bed and well-stocked kitchen. I always send them off in comfort… marinate a little meat for them to throw on the grill, pack up some convenience foods and bake a few goodies too. When they return from their camping weekends, I hear mostly about the evenings sitting around the campfire. Food Pyramid Submissions. Hasselback Potatoes. These Hasselback potatoes looks beautiful, don't' they?
Here, I also added several cloves of garlic to these Swedish version of baked potatoes to enhance the flavor. It turned out great, they were very delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..

Little House in the Big Woods is the first book in the classic Little House series telling the story of the Ingalls family's extraordinary life.
Inside the little house in the Big Woods live the Ingalls family: Ma, Pa, Mary, Laura and baby Carrie.
Outside the little house are the wild animals: the bears and the bees, the deer and the wolves.
This is the classic tale of how they live together, in harmony mostly, but sometimes in fear. . .
Author Biography: Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in Wisconsin in 1867. Her family moved around, travelling from Missouri to Kansas, Minnesota and back to Wisconsin. Laura's formal education was irregular due to her family often living in isolated areas.
Eventually the family settled in De Smet, Dakota Territory and Laura worked regularly as a seamstress and teacher. She stopped working when she married Almanzo Wilder in 1885. Her daughter was the novelist and journalist Rose Wilder Lane. Little House in the Big Woods was first published in 1932 and Little House on the Prairie in 1935, and five more books in the Little House series followed. Laura also wrote Farmer Boy about her husband's childhood, and three more books were published posthumously.
Laura was celebrated during her lifetime and her books considered great literature. She was five times the recipient of the Newbery Honor Award for her distinguished contribution to American literature for children: On the Banks of Plum Creek (1938), By the Shores of Silver Lake (1940), The Long Winter (1941), Little Town on the Prairie (1942), These Happy Golden Years (1944).

Quote:Maybe thats why there are no iaido like arts for longswords and the like
Quote:...an average japanes katana is around 27 inches, while the average hand and a half sword was 36 inches, and longswords were around 40 inches long. So the more than 9 inches of added length will also make the european sword slower to draw. Maybe thats why there are no iaido like arts for longswords and the like.

A hand sanitizer or hand antiseptic is a supplement or alternative to hand washing with soap and water. Many preparations are available, including gel, foam, and liquid solutions. The active ingredient in hand sanitizers may be isopropanol, ethanol, n-propanol, or povidone-iodine. Inactive ingredients in alcohol rubs typically include a thickening agent such as polyacrylic acid for alcohol gels, humectants such as glycerin for liquid rubs, propylene glycol, and essential oils of plants. Alcohol based hand sanitizers are more effective at killing microorganisms than soaps and do not dry out hands as much.
Common non-alcohol, rinse-free hand sanitizers use either small concentrations of the nitrogenous cationic surface-acting agent benzalkonium chloride, the chlorinated aromatic compound triclosan, or povidone-iodine. Some products claim to kill microorganisms naturally, although these claims are not substantiated in any FDA monograph. All hand sanitizer products require National Drug Code designation in United States and natural product number designation in Canada.]citation needed[
Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
Hospitality is the relationship between the guest and the host, or the act or practice of being hospitable. This includes the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.

Report: US should minimize military aid to Central America, strengthen courts, police
(Read article summary)A new Council on Foreign Relations report examines criminal violence in Central America.
Moises Castillo/AP
• A version of this post ran on the author's site, Insightcrime.com. The views expressed are the author's own.
The US should focus its anti-crime strategy in Central America on strengthening the court system and the police force, rather than military aid and drug interdiction, according to recommendations by US think-tank the Council on Foreign Relations.
In a new report which examines criminal violence in Central America, author Michael Shifter argues that the State Department's Bureau of Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs should assign two-thirds of its projected budget (some $36.7 million) to the strengthening of institutions in the region. Even though some presidents in Central America may be demanding more military aid from the US in order to buy equipment and upgrade their anti-drug technology, the US should be cautious of military assistance and only offer it "under the strictest of conditions."
But shifting money around will not be enough to confront the problem, the report states, and goes on to recommend that the US double its total funding commitment to Central America. These new funds should be used to increase training and provide resources for judges, prosecutors and witness protection programs, rather than funding military and anti-drug agencies.

DATE & TIME: Friday, December 27, 8 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Walsh Gymnasium (2,600) -- South Orange, New Jersey. Television: FS1. Home Record: Lafayette 2-2, Seton Hall 6-2. Away Record: Lafayette 2-4, Seton Hall 1-1. Neutral Record: Lafayette 0-0, Seton Hall 1-1. Conference Record: Lafayette 0-0, Seton Hall 0-0. Series Record: Series is tied, 9-9.
GAME NOTES: The Seton Hall Pirates close out a four-game homestand on Friday evening, as they welcome the Lafayette Leopards to Walsh Gymnasium for a non- conference clash.
The Pirates are an impressive 8-4 on the season heading into their last game before Big East action begins. Kevin Willard's squad has won four of its last five games, including a 92-70 rout of Eastern Washington last weekend. The lone loss during that span was an 83-80 overtime setback to Saint Peter's.
It has been a season of streaks for the Leopards, who opened with five straight losses, before posting four consecutive wins. Lafayette's win streak however, was halted last time out, with a 65-62 loss at St. Francis Brooklyn.
This series is tied at 9-9, but this is just the second meeting in the last 40 years.
The Leopards shot 52.4 percent from the floor in the first half against St. Francis, but held just a four-point lead at the half. The team cooled off substantially over the final 20 minutes at a 38.1 percent clip and fell in the final second on a 3-pointer by St. Francis. The loss spoiled a tremendous performance by Bryce Scott, who finished 10-of-17 from the floor and 11-of-12 from the free-throw line to post a career-high 35 points. The team played its first game without leading scorer Seth Hinrichs, who is out with a sprained knee.
Hinrichs has been a big part of the Lafayette offense this season, accounting for 20.2 ppg, thanks to a lethal .472 accuracy from behind the arc (25-of-53) Scott can fill it up from long range as well (22-of-55) and is responsible for 16.7 ppg. Dan Trist (12.3 ppg), Nick Lindner (11.1 ppg) and Joey Ptasinski (10.3 ppg) round out the top scoring threats for the Leopards, who are averaging 76.7 ppg.
The Pirates have plenty of firepower to contend with just about any team they face. Seton Hall enters this contest averaging an impressive 78.0 ppg. Sterling Gibbs headlines the scoring depth for Seton Hall at 16.1 ppg. However, he is also nursing an injury (knee), though he is listed as probable for this game. Fuquan Edwin is next in the scoring column at 13.8 ppg, followed by Brian Oliver (11.8 ppg), Patrik Auda (11.0 ppg) and Eugene Teague (10.2 ppg). Teague is also the team's top rebounder at 9.3 rpg.
In the 92-point eruption against Eastern Washington, Seton Hall connected on a sizzling 56.9 percent from the floor, as six Pirates finished in double figures. Oliver and Teague led the charge with 16 points apiece. Jaren Sina and Edwin added 14 points each, while Brandon Mobley added 11 and Haralds Karis finished with 10.
The Leopards will be missing a key piece to their offensive arsenal, not a good thing with the explosive Pirates on deck.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Seton Hall 81, Lafayette 64

NBA Finals: Miami's defense KO's Mavericks in Game 1, 92-84
The Miami Heat's aggressive perimeter offense and suffocating defense collaborated to defeat the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night, 92-84, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Mike Ehrmann/AP
The hard-charging Dallas Mavericks, who were used to regularly crossing the "century mark" in their Western Conference playoff games, got a taste of the tough defense that Miami has consistently used to keep some of their own playoff opponents in the East under 90, and sometimes even under 80 points per game.
For the season, the Mavericks averaged just over 100 points of offense a game. But, with Miami's fly paper-like defense, Dallas was lucky to get more than 80 Tuesday night in their 92-84 loss to the Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Erik Spoelstra, Miami's young head coach, showed he clearly understood the dynamics of the situation when, late in the third period, he huddled with his team during a timeout, saying "This is going to be a grind."
Miami then proceeded to prove they can do the "grinding" down the stretch as well as anyone. The Heat went on to clearly demonstrate they are not the same squad who lost twice to the Mavericks during the regular season. They played Dallas tight around the rim, never allowing Dirk Nowitzki to get into any scoring rhythm in the paint – he made only 7 of 18 shots from the field, for 27 total points.
The Heat were also successful in forcing Dallas to defend their style of game – crucial if Miami is to win this series – which involved fast breaks, quick transitions and kick-outs to the perimeter. For a patient and deliberate veteran team like Dallas, this caused considerable fits.

(Chris Trotman/Getty Images)The New York Mets cloudy outfield situation became much clearer on Saturday afternoon, when manager Terry Collins named Collin Cowgill the team's starting centerfielder.Though Collins was expected to opt for a platoon in center -- if not the corner spots, as well -- Cowgill won the job outright with a strong spring in which he batted .303. The 26-year-old was acquired in a December trade that sent minor leaguer Jefry Marte to the Oakland Athletics.Cowgill has started just 49 games in two major-league seasons for the Diamondbacks and A's. He owns a .255 career average with two home runs and a .631 OPS.The team was not comfortable with playing 25-year-old Jordany Valdespin -- a left-handed hitter who was expected to platoon with the right-handed-hitting Cowgill -- full-time because of his defense, according to ESPN.com's Adam Rubin.From ESPN New York:"One of the things we've got to make sure we do, that's cover ourselves defensively," Collins said. "Be it center field, be it late for Lucas, or whatever it might be, he's the best outfielder we've got, in my opinion. Defensively he can really play center field. So we thought we could take him. Hopefully if he starts swinging, like he did last year, I'm sure he's going to get a lot of playing time. But he does give us a lot of security."Lucas Duda and Marlon Byrd will start in left and right field, respectively, in an outfield that has been been the butt of offseason jokes -- even by Mets GM Sandy Alderson.
