. MACHADO, ELEUZA R; DE SOUZA, THATIANA S; DA COSTA, JANE M e COSTA-CRUZ, JULIA M. Enteroparasites and commensals among individuals living in rural and urban areas in Abadia dos Dourados, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Parasitol. latinoam. [online]. 2008, vol.63, n.1-2-3-4, pp.34-39. ISSN 0717-7712. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-77122008000100006.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the enteroparasite and commensal occurrence in inhabitants living in the city of Abadia dos Dourados, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Three hundred and seventy six people were selected at random, 188 living in the rural area and 188 living in the urban area, from January through December of 1996. Using the Lutz method 177 (47.1%) individuals infected: 102 (57.6%) in the rural population and 75 (39.9%) in the urban population (P < 0.05). Of the total 177 enteroparasite and commensal occurrences diagnosed were: Entamoeba coli (18.3%), hookworm (17.8%), Endolimax nana (6.1 %>), Giardia lamblia (5.8%), Ascaris lumbricoides (2.6%>), Entamoeba hartmanni (2.1%), Iodamoeba biltschlii (1.6%), Strongyloides ster cor alls (1.3%), Enterobius vermicularis (0.5%), and Trichostrongylus sp (0.5%). Geohelminths were predominant in the rural area, with an occurrence ofhookworm infections at 28.2% in these individuals and 7.4% in the urban people (OR: 14.33 CI: 6.230 to 32.970). The infection rate of enteroparasites was high in the population studied. In conclusion, it is necessary to implement regular parasitological exams and education about the forms and consequences of transmitting parasites, primarily among people living in the rural area.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a famous story with Audrey Hepburn.Eliza is a flower-seller on the street.And she has a strong London accent.Professor Higgins met her and started to teach the right accent.Love grows between two different people gradually.
I love this story very much.The book has some pictures of the seans of the movie.Audrey is pretty.I want to watch the movie because I will be able to enjoy more after reading it.
This is the story that Eliza Doolittle – a young London woman who is flower-seller with a very strong London accent – is educated for being a lady by Professor Higgins. This book was so interesting! But this was originally a musical. Listening to songs, I'll be able to understand how great it is more. I would like to see it.
I chose this book because I love Audrey Hepburn.
There are many pictures of seans of the movie, so I could have enjoyed seeing them.
But I think if I had seen the movie or play, I could have enjoyed more because there are some songs in this story.
In the book, words of songs are written, but you can't know the merody.
And the story itself, it is not so good, not so bad.
This is a famous film with Audrey Hepburn.
Eliza Doolittle has strong London accent.
So Professpr Higgins teaches her to speak correct English.
I like this story, so I want to watch this film.
A young poor flower girl who had strong London accent met two gentlemen in chance.The next day, she offered them that they taught her good English and she started to live with them.She practiced hard and finally, she became a beautiful lady.
It was pretty story and I really enjoyed it. And it showed the view of the English too.I want to watch that movie!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140013644, Paperback)Sparkling with wit, wisdom and wonderful songs including, "I Could Have Danced All Night", "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "Get Me To The Church On Time", the musical play based on Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" has been delighting audiences since it was first performed in the 1950s. When overbearing Professor Higgins stumbles on flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, in Covent Garden he recognizes that her hideous vowels and forgotten consonants are all that separate her from the upper classes. Higgins wagers that he can pass her off as a Duchess in a matter of weeks. But what will become of Eliza when the bet is over? This edition of "My Fair Lady" includes the complete script and a selection of black and white stills from the Oscar-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:52 -0400)
Outside Covent Garden on a rainy evening in 1912, cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, meets linguistic expert Henry Higgins. Higgins, in turn, bets with his companion, Colonel Pickering, that, within six months, he could transform Eliza into a proper lady, simply by teaching her proper English. The next morning, face and hands freshly scrubbed, Eliza presents herself on Higgins' doorstep, ready and willing to be turned into a lady.… (more)

MUMBAI: The income-tax department is likely to levy a penalty of Rs 30,000 crore on alleged money launderer and tax-evader Hasan Ali Khan, who was released on bail by the Bombay High Court last week, I-T sources said. Khan, a Pune-based stud-farm owner, had been in custody of the Enforcement Directorate. The agency has been probing charges that Khan had stashed away $8 billion into Swiss bank accounts. The I-T department has been waiting for Khan's release from the ED's custody to summon him for hearing.
As per I-T rules, the taxpayer is given a chance to explain his side of the case before any penalty is levied. The department has already slapped a penalty of . 20,000 crore on Kashinath Tuparia, Khan's business associate and brother of late Priyamvada Birla. A tax demand of . 75,000 crore is also pending against Khan. Khan, who was interrogated by the I-T department in 2007 following a raid at his Pune residence, had denied he had any account with Swiss banks.

Next for Deutsche Bank: Replacing Super Banker Anshu Jain
By Vivek Ahuja and Matt Turner
Anshu Jain, the not-quite-German-speaking head of Deutsche Bank's investment bank, was named as co-CEO. And now, the game of musical chairs continues as Deutsche Bank hunts for Jain's successor at the investment bank, the German giant's biggest driver of profits.
Financial News has identified some of the potential candidates within Jain's inner circle of lieutenants. All of the bankers were among the 15-strong executive committee of the corporate and investment bank created by Jain a year ago after he took sole charge of the division ahead of the retirement of co-head Michael Cohrs.
A spokesman for Deutsche Bank declined to comment on potential candidates to lead the division.
• Michele Faissola, head of rates and commodities
Forty-three year old Faissola has been a driving force in the development of Deutsche's derivatives business. After joining the bank in 1995, he led its European over-the-counter derivatives business before stepping up to take global responsibility in 2000. He subsequently added commodities to his duties, before becoming global head of rates in 2003.
• Rich Herman, global head of the institutional client group

Ra.One slows down at Box Office due to Velayudham, 7aam Arivu
The South Indian versions comprising Tamil and Telugu were released on October 26 with 250 prints. On its opening day, Ra.One approximately collected Rs 2 to 2.5 crore and fetched four crore in next 2 days totalling its net to Rs 6 crore in South India. The movie was largely affected by Velayudham and 7aam Arivu, as they occupied 400 screens in Tamil Nadu.
Trade analysts claim that the collections of the dubbed versions of Ra.One seem to be good, as it faced tough competitions from Vijay and Surya starrer films. They further added that Rajinikanth's cameo in the movie has become a major attraction for the South audience to watch the film.
However, Vijay's Velayudham is said to be topping the Tamil Box Office chart even after getting released in less number of theatres comparatively with 7aam Arivu.

First, I'm enormously grateful to know know know that feelings are just that, feelings, and not truths. And that they will pass. And (now here's the big transformational magic part) that I have the power of choice! This is the concept that opens the door to liberation. When I find myself, as I did last night, feeling powerful PPD (post-pilgrimage depression)—once I realized what was running around in my head causing my malaise—I was then empowered to choose. The progress-not-perfection part: Sometimes I can't/won't make that choice right in the moment of awareness. Sometimes I seem to have a (self-sabotaging) need to wallow. Yum, wallowing in negative thoughts, in the hell of my own devising.
I can't bear it. So here I am this morning, having posted on Facebook about the PPD, having gotten two loving comments back (one gently yet firmly advising me to get busy in my own backyard; thank you Michelle!). I'm up, the bed is made, morning practice is complete, I'm showered and dressed, and am happily gratefully present in my day right here in sunny Oakland. I'm wearing my marinière today, bought at the Marché des Paysans (farmer's market) in L'Isle sur la Sorgue two Sundays ago. I am going to make an omelette aux fines herbes (herbes de Provence, bought in Provence) for my breakfast. I'm nearly unpacked. Three of the four boxes of stuff I mailed home have arrived. The last is taking a boat, should be here by the end of the month—perfect timing as it contains my Irish wellies (rainboots). I have so much for which to be grateful. I see, hear, smell, taste blessings all around me. I am a grateful woman.
I write in humble gratitude for the people I've met, the sights I've explored, the food I've eaten and cooked, the indelible memories, the photographs I've taken, the technology that allows me to post my ongoing travelogue on Facebook, the sacred moments of this pilgrimage, the conversations I've had (some in French!), the endless beauty, the quality of the light in Provence, the ability to walk (especially after the couple of days when I could barely do so), my health, how flawlessly all has gone. Je suis complètement et totalement reconnaissante (I am completely and utterly grateful).
It is a beautiful full moon Mabon (autumn equinox) evening in Provence.
Cloudy, cool, might have rain tomorrow. I am about to go to sleep for the third night out of eight in this beautiful yellow and orange room with a perfectly comfortable king-size bed.
Took a hot bubble bath in the tub.
Made my dinner in this perfect Provencale kitchen: rotisserie chicken from the local butcher; eggplant sliced thin, salted/sweated, and sautéed with curry powder (bought at the most beautiful spices stall ever at the farmers market–see pix on facebook); chard/carrots/zucchini from last night; and an artichoke, also from this morning's market.
I am enjoying exploring Provence, by car and on foot. Taking lots and lots of pictures. The ochre hills, the ancient stone huts, walls and buildings, it's pretty magical. Went to a bourie village today—old stone huts. Did my equinox ritual there. In deepest gratitude, I tucked all the origami cranes from my second Saturn return celebration into crevices in the walls, along with tiny seashells from my altar and, most importantly, I think, the ceramic leaf from the spring equinox ritual on which I wrote my intention to make this journey. It is very tiring to my index finger to type on the phone, so I'll end this post now.
My daughter Rose is now 23 years old, a young woman.
Life us happening for her, to her, as it does for us all. She has a big decision to make, and make soon. Oh my heart is full of compassion and the grief that accompanies the knowing that I can't protect her from tough decisions, nor make them for her.
I have a swelling heart full of gratitude for the gift of the relationship I have with Rosie today and the blessing of having lived long enough to thoroughly transform my life.
And I continue to pray for her ease and joy and that the learning of life's lessons bends but doesn't break her. And since she survived a childhood with me as well as she has, I'm confident that she's well equipped for whatever might be next.
It's been true for me, that old saying that whatever doesn't kill mr will only make me stronger. May it be so for Rose as well.
My journey in Ireland is coming to a close. I've had a quiet day and a half in Cork town. Met a new friend at a meeting last night.
I was tired and grumpy when I landed up in Cork. Long drive. Thwarted by the GPS from hell. Prevented me from seeing the dolmen in the Burren I was planning to see as well as Lough Gur. Maddening. Frustrating. Tiring.
So I got to Cork, walked to a meeting and, when called on, just shared my truth the best I could. Got some smiles and nods and the magical release from self-obsession and reminder that my attitude is a choice.
Was delighted by the compassionate and friendly shares. Connected powerfully with a gal after the meeting. Angela. My new friend. She took me home with her and fed me dinner.
She met me this morning, took me to a meeting and walked around town with me. I am delighted to have connected with her. She is kind and funny and super generous.
I just now called the car rental place and asked for an adjustment due to the faulty GPS. I'm getting 50% refunded. Glad I asked. Glad I got a yes.
I'm grateful blessed and happy. Happy to take the day off from sightseeing. Happy for the warm sunshine of the early afternoon. Grateful for the veg soup at lunch.
Grateful I get to have one more quick visit with Angela before she drives off tonite. And for me, another meeting and dinner out and then a quiet night in.
Blessed be!
I am so grateful that I know this feeling for what it is, that I don't have to spend the day ruled by it.
I am grateful for the tools that allow me to transcend feelings and circumstances. There is one of each, I think, causing my unease. Yes you may laugh. I'm trying to as well. The feeling is loneliness. The feeling that today would be better with a lover, a companion at my side. The circumstance is that a celeb (I think, who knows who's behind those user names anyway) declined to play another WWF game with me (that's iPhone scrabble). Rejection. Ouch. You'll likely feel compassion for the first and either laugh or wonder at my immaturity in the second. Sigh. There I go being human again!
So, I reject and release the power of these thoughts to ruin my day. Just sayin'… In humble gratitude.

Rape of a child, rape and indecent assault and battery.
The defendant raped and sexually assaulted the victim multiple times over the span of a year. The victim was either fifteen or sixteen years old at this time. The victim held devout religious beliefs which included the notion that the spirits of her ancestors watched her and could harm her if she misbehaved. The defendant told the victim his sexual abuse was a "test" that her ancestors needed him to perform and that if she did not submit to his demands, she and her family would be harmed or punished. The defendant had full knowledge of her beliefs and used this threat of harm to continue the rapes and keep the victim quiet. He was convicted on multiple charges of rape and filed an appeal.
On appeal, the defendant made two arguments. First he argued that the victim's uncertainty of her age at the time of the crimes was insufficient to show she was under the age of consent for the rape of a child conviction. Second he argued that there was insufficient evidence of force to sustain the rape convictions. The court disagreed, reasoning as follows:
First, the victim's uncertainty of her age at the time of the crimes was not, in itself, insufficient to prove that she was under the age of consent. Rather, her expression of uncertainty was for the jury to use in determining the weight of the evidence on the issue of the victim's age. Therefore the jury could conclude that she was under the age of consent in spite of her uncertainty.
Second, the evidence was sufficient to prove the element of force because force need not be physical and can consist of express or implied threats. Here, the defendant knew of the victim's religious beliefs and used that knowledge, as well as his position of authority over the victim, to cause her to submit to his actions out of fear that she and her family would suffer harm and be punished by the spirits of her ancestors if she refused his demands. The rapes would not have occurred but for the victim's "reasonable" fear of harm if she did not submit.
By relying on cases such as this one, advocates and prosecutors can argue in favor of broader judicial interpretations of force such that constructive and nonphysical exertions of power and authority are sufficient.
Prosecutors in particular should proactively use this case to advance the idea that force should be determined by the relative powerlessness of the victim in every sense of the term including: physical, psychological, intellectual, sociological, age and position of authority.
The facts in this case emphasize the victim's unique religious beliefs, which can affect both children and adults, especially in certain communities. That the perpetrator's threat regarding retribution from the victim's ancestors could not have come to fruition is of no consequence. In other words, the fact that a victim's fear may be objectively unreasonable is irrelevant.
This case can be used to help define force to the advantage of vulnerable populations where cultural and religious beliefs may be leading women and children not only to submit to rape, but also to remain silent in the aftermath.

Backes Honored to Wear 'A' for Blues
Blues forward retained alternate captain mark after Tkachuk's return
Wednesday, 03.17.2010 / 3:50 PM CT / St Louis Blues - News
By Chris Pinkert - St. Louis Blues
All of these are terms that could be used to describe David Backes.
And now he has the 'A' stitched onto his jersey to prove it.
"I'm obviously honored and take it with a lot of pride that they think that highly of me," Backes told the Belleville News Democrat recently. "They're just kind of formalizing that I'm going to be a leader in this organization moving forward. Hopefully it turns into more positive plays for us and it's something I can build on to make the team better."
Veteran Keith Tkachuk previously served as an alternate captain alongside defenseman Barret Jackman, but despite Tkachuk's return to the lineup from finger surgery, the distinction has remained with Backes.
And that's A-OK with Tkachuk.
"You don't need a letter to be a leader, to embrace the things and do things you need to do," he recently told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I'm at the end of my career and David is an elite player on this team at this point.
"When you have done the things he has done - when you show all the leadership qualities he does in the way he conducts himself on the ice and off, he should have that distinction."
Through 66 games this season, Backes has 15 goals and 25 assists and ranks third on the team in points.
During the 2008-09 season, Backes finished second on the team with 31 goals.
The 25-year-old forward returned recently from the 2010 Winter Olympics with a silver medal as a member of the Team USA men's hockey team.
Backes is hoping to use some of his recent Olympic experience to help the Blues.
"If we get into the playoffs, to have had the (Olympic) experience of playing in front of 18,000 crazy, screaming fans at a high level of competition, it's something that will benefit us a lot," he said.

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Resources
NPR interviews Nigerian author Chinua Achebe on Heart of Darkness, which he considers "inappropriate" because of its depiction of Africans.
Gather the family around the radio and listen to Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre perform Conrad's story. Awesome!
The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot, a poem inspired by Heart of Darkness.
The Conradian talks about Conrad and his roots in Eastern Europe.
T. S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men" uses an epigraph from Heart of Darkness. Can you figure out why?
For only £500, you, too, can be a member of the Joseph Conrad Society. Spend all your allowance? The site still has some good information, including a "Student Resources" section.
Movie and TV Adaptations
Just another reason the '50s were so cool: Playhouse 90 presented 1.5-hour dramas, like this "Heart of Darkness" (episode #7).
Apocalypse Now (1979), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, updates Heart of Darkness to the Vietnam War. It's also pretty much the best adaptation in the history of adaptations.
Heart of Darkness (1993) with John Malkovich as Kurtz. Unfortunately, it's not as good as you'd hope.
This 1999 documentary, Search for Kurtz, is the story of Tony Po, the alleged inspiration for Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. Confused?
King Kong, directed by Peter Jackson, has many references to Heart of Darkness. We're also worried it's a little bit racist.
Screenwriter John Milius says smart things about Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness.
It doesn't get any more classic than this, Shmoopers.
Trailer from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now. So rad.
John Powell's "Rhapsodie Negre" was inspired by Heart of Darkness. You can also learn more about John Powell here. (What that bio doesn't say, however, is that he was a flat-out racist jerk.)
This is a map of the Congo from the early 1900s, just after Heart of Darkness. See all the different colors?

Bryant, Lakers roar back against Hornets, 108-102
Kobe Bryant scored 13 of his 42 points during a 20-0 run in the last 6:22 of the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 25-point deficit to fend off the New Orleans Hornets, 108-102 on Wednesday night.
The Hornets were still ahead by 21 in the final minute of the third quarter when Greivis Vasquez's 3-pointer made it 93-72, and even after the Lakers had whittled their deficit to 12, the Hornets were up 102-88 after Robin Lopez's dunk with 6:47 to go.
But the Hornets would not score again, and Bryant began to take over with a big assist from Jodie Meeks, who hit two of his five 3-pointers during the final surge to finish with 19 points.
Dwight Howard had 20 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks for Los Angeles. Bryant also had 12 assists.

Major CommandThe Command is the top level, the largest unit, and is usually composed of three or more numbered air forces. It is the largest combat organization of the Air Force-a self-contained fighting air unit with large numbers of combat and other type planes. It contains thousands of personnel who operate the aircraft and the weapons of their armament, as well as perform all of the other complex operations essential to modern air warfare. The organization of a given air command depends upon the strategic situation, and the operations and tactics of the enemy. A theater of operations may contain one or more air commands. A Command headquarters includes the commanding general and staff assistants, and a large number of special assistants which the complex organization and the training and combat operations of a large air unit require. Command is exercised as in ground units, from the air command down through the chain of command.
Air Combat Command ACCThe Air Combat Command is responsible for CONUS-based fighters, bombers, ICBMs, reconnaissance aircraft, C31 platforms, and some theater airlifters and tankers It provides forces directly to Unified Commands or augments theater air forces already forward deployed. The Air Combat Command was formed in June 1992 from elements of the former Strategic Air Command and the Tactical Air Command.
Air Mobility CommandAir Mobility Command includes the bulk of airlift assets as well as a considerable portion of the tanker force. This integration of lift with tankers will better enable the Air Force to supply global mobility and reach, enhancing rapid response and the ability to operate with other services and nations. Air Mobility Command will also be responsible for the worldwide coordination of tanker scheduling.
Air Force Space CommandThe Air Force Space Command provides resource management and operation of assigned ICBM assets for the US Strategic Command.
Air Force Special Operations CommandThe responsibility of the Air Force Special Operations Command is to organize, train, and equip Air Force special operations forces. It is the US Air Force component of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
Pacific Air Forces PACAFThe Pacific Air Forces is a major command of the US Air Force and is the Air Force component of the U.S. Pacific Command. Its primary mission is to organize, train, equip, administer, and prepare assigned forces for combat, including: fighter, reconnaissance, air control, close air support, and defense suppression units to conduct defensive and offensive air operations. It provides combat-ready air elements to the U.S. Pacific Command and participates in joint and combined air operations.
United States Air Forces in Europe USAFEThe United States Air Forces in Europe is a major command of the US Air Force and is the Air Force component of the US European Command. Its primary mission is to organize, train, equip, administer, and prepare assigned forces for combat, including: fighter, reconnaissance, air control, close air support, and defense suppression units to conduct defensive and offensive air operations. It provides combat-ready air elements to the US European Command and participates in joint and combined air operations.
DevelopmentsIn 1991 major changes were announced in the structure of combatant commands. There were two basic reasons for these changes. First, Desert Storm demonstrated that the line between strategic and tactical airpower has become blurred. The Air Force has always contended that air power should be treated as a unified whole in order to bring its full capability to bear. Desert Storm validated that basic doctrinal tenet. Targets may have tactical or strategic value. Airplanes have both tactical and strategic capability, and should not be constrained by artificial distinctions. Fighter or attack designated aircraft belong to Tactical Air Command. In Desert Storm, they were employed against both tactical and strategic targets. F-117s hit key strategic nodes in Baghdad while F-15s and F-16s attacked biological and nuclear weapons facilities. And A-10s hit Scud launch facilities. Conversely, B-52s were highly effective against Iraqi ground forces in tactical positions. The utility of designating some aircraft tactical and others strategic has been overtaken by current capabilities. The organization needs to catch up. The second reason for changing the combatant commands is that many commands operate in theaters, not by function. The paramount consideration is the theater commander's requirements, not an arbitrary functional division of labor. This theater approach is precisely the way the Air Force organized in World War II. Overseas commanders now command the assets they need to make air power a unified whole within their theaters. The commanders of Pacific Air Forces, (PACAF) and US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) command the tankers, theater airlift and reconnaissance assets that are stationed in their theaters, as well as their traditional combat assets. These commanders have the resources they need for an air campaign, augmented as necessary by reinforcements from the Continental United States. Three major combatant commands based in the United States, Strategic Air Command, Tactical Air Command and Military Airlift Command, merged into two commands. Air Combat Command and Air Mobility Command act as independent force providers to theater commanders in some contingencies and as force augmenters for PACAF, USAFE and other Air Force component commands in other scenarios. The net result of the restructuring effort was a reduction in the number of major commands from 13 to 10. These actions helped recover the simplicity among command relationships that should be the hallmark of any military organization.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 4, Part 4, Chapter 11 Summary
- Giving Kutuzov the medal for the Order of St. George is really just a face-saving formality. Kutuzov is out of favor, and there's no two ways about it.
- He still tries to put in his opinion: who cares about saving Europe from Napoleon when Russia is already safe?
- But he's lost all power and authority. He is replaced and quickly forgotten and ignored.
- Soon after, he dies.

I've been saying it for ages. Get that midfield general in. They don't need to be a hardman or a defensive midfielder but someone who runs the show. I'll admit a hardman may find that easier though. For me Sneijder would do nicely I think if his form is anywhere near what it was 2 years ago. Alonso maybe but other than that I can't think of any real standout player of that ilk. Anyone know where there's a 22 year old version of Souness lurking?

|A perfect pontoon for family fun on the water.
By Vince Daniello
What's a TriToon? To those roughly familiar with pontoon boats, the natural assumption might be that it is a three-pontoon boat. Actually, as the term TriToon is used by JC Manufacturing, it is far more than that. JC's TriToon hull uses three overlapping pontoons. The center pontoon looks like an ordinary pontoon with a U-shaped cross section, although it is noticeably wider than JC's standard pontoons. The outboard pontoons, though, are totally different. Rather than having straight vertical sides, the inboard side of the port and starboard pontoons angle up to meet the center pontoon. In other words, instead of having three individual hulls, with a void between each, the TriToon forms one hull, somewhat reminiscent of the original Boston Whaler tri-hull.
The JC Pontoon TriToon 266's layout.
There are two advantages to the TriToon hull over a traditional round or U-shaped pontoon. First is that the angled inboard surfaces add to the boat's overall planing surface, creating more lift and therefore able to go faster for a given amount of horsepower. The second advantage is that the angled surfaces makes the hulls wider nearer the top, so as the boat pushes down into the water the amount of buoyancy pushing the boat back up increases. This shape has the greatest effect in choppy conditions. As a wave passes under the boat, the widening pontoon will gradually lift the boat over the wave. In fact, that angle is very much like the bottom of an offshore "deep-V" hull, but with the "V" pointing in, toward the center of the boat.
The result is a smoother ride, and also a boat that handles more like a fiberglass hull, specifically shaped by a naval architect to get just the right ride, as opposed to a typical pontoon boat hull, with a uniform hull shape just because it is convenient to produce.
This isn't to say that ordinary two- or three-pontoon hulls are bad. JC produces many. (There standard pontoon hulls come in either two or three pontoon models, with the designator "TT" for triple tube.) Because their reduced wetted surface makes pontoon boats easier to push, pontoon boats are very fuel-efficient. It is also hard to match the space aboard a pontoon boat when compared to any other hull shape. Let's face it, though, a pontoon hulls aren't known for being able to handle big waves, and if you boat on a large body of water the TriToon hull might offer a significant advantage.
The TriToon has one disadvantage. A round tube, or a U-shaped tube with a round bottom and vertical sides are both inherently strong. The angled sides of the TriToon see a bit more stress, so JC has to build them out of heavier-gauge aluminum. While a thicker hull is certainly good, it adds weight, taking away most of the horsepower efficiency gained by the hull's improved shape. It also costs more to manufacture, adding to the price of the boat.
Realizing that the added price of the hull lent itself to an upscale product, JC Manufacturing took their TriToon line upscale all the way, with many standard features that are options on the NepToon and SunToon models. The TriToon models also include more stainless steel fittings and railings, and at the bow two fiberglass pods and specially sculpted seat backs give the TriToon a little sleeker look than the typical, boxy pontoon boat. The wider center tube of the TriToon (36-inches wide instead of 23-inches wide) also allowed them to add an anchor locker at the bow of the center pontoon, which isn't available on other models.
The other huge advantage of the wide center hull is the ability to carry an inboard-outboard engine. The 266 TriToon I tested was equipped with a 320 horsepower Volvo 5.7 liter GXi sterndrive. While the TriToon hull feels noticeably sportier on the water than JC Manufacturing's standard pontoon hulls, the addition of an inboard/outboard engine really gives this boat a completely different feel. It also offers subtle but important advantages like a full-width stern platform.
The added horsepower also paid off. Volvo's big 5.7 liter, 320 horsepower engine and Duoprop sterndrive pushed us up on plane in just 3.2 seconds, to a maximum 41.9 miles-per-hour at 5200 RPM. Sterndrive power and the added weight of the engine aft gave the ability to trim the stern down for larger wakes, which will certainly please any wakeboarders in the family.
The Tri-Toon hull's ability to carry weight also gave us good economy, about 3 ½ miles-per-gallon at 22 miles-per-hour, and a maximum of 3.78 miles-per-gallon at 16.7 miles-per-hour, for a 187-mile range. Volvo's Duoprop stern drive, with two, counter-rotating propellers, eliminates side torque on the steering wheel of single-prop motors, and also provides more consistent control while docking.
Of course the boat is available with outboards too. With a 225 horsepower outboard expect a top speed around 38 miles-per-hour, but consider a test ride of the boat with and without sterndrive power. The combination of TriToon hull and sterndrive power gives this boat a unique, solid feel different from any pontoon boat I've ever run.

Whether you're a beginner looking to gamble online for the first time or an experienced gambler looking for a new site to join, GamblingSites.com will help you find the right site. We've ranked and listed the very best gambling sites in several different categories, so that you can easily find the most suitable one for you. All of our recommendations are thoroughly tested to ensure that they meet the highest standards.
Our overall top ranked gambling sites for 2016 are below. If you're looking for something more specific, we have explained all about the other categories we cover further down this page.
If you're looking to set up an account and get started right now, then we suggest choosing somewhere from the list above. These are the sites that perform the best across all the key areas, and they all come highly recommended. They are reliable and trustworthy places to gamble, and are ideal if you are looking for somewhere that offers a variety of gambling activities. For more details on our recommendations for "all in one" sites, please see the following page: Real Money Gambling Sites.
Every single site we list, in every single category we cover, is considered safe and reputable. We quite simply wouldn't recommend them otherwise. There are also some places that really stand out as being the safest options around. We've listed these on our Safe Gambling Sites page.
To find out all about our ranking process, please visit How We Rank Gambling Sites.
Many of the biggest and best known gambling operators no longer accept customers from the United States. This has made it more important than ever before for gamblers in this country to be careful about where they join.
There are still a number of places servicing customers in the region, but not too many that check all the necessary boxes. In our opinion, we've recommended the best ones that do.
People living in other parts of the world generally have a much wider choice of where to gamble online than Americans do. More options don't necessarily make it easier to decide where to join though. Gamblers still need to be selective, and they should choose a site that's reputable and provides a good service.
It also makes sense to join somewhere that's particularly suitable for where you live. We have compiled lists of the best gambling sites for people living in each of the following regions.
Many sites provide a range of betting and gaming activities these days, rather than just focusing on one spesific type. This is especially true of the big brands. For example, most of the large sports betting sites offer at least a few casino games too. Many of them also offer poker a bingo. Altough there are still some "specialist" sites around, the all in one variety are far more common.
This is great for those that people that enjoy the various different types of gambling. It is much easier if you can do it all in one place. However, a lot of places perform much better in some areas than in others. So what might be a great site to play poker at may not be the best place for betting on horse racing even if it is available.
If you stick largely to one type of gambling then you should join somewhere that is particularly good for that type. To help you do this we have ranked the best sites for specific types of gambling. You can find these rankings in the following sections. We have also covered more precise sub-categories, such as the best live dealer casinos or the best poker sites for beginners.
We've also ranked the best sites for a couple of niche forms of gambling that are becoming increasingly popular.

Data Point: Microsoft Walks Away From XP, but Many Others Haven't
Twelve years after the debut of Windows XP, Microsoft says it is time to move on. Many people haven't.
Microsoft has long said this day was coming. It even had a countdown clock on its website — it now reads zero hour. There have been not one, not two, but three new versions of Windows since XP's grassy hills and blue skies first graced our CRT monitors.
Even so, nearly three in 10 computers were still running XP as of March, according to data from Net Applications that was charted by Statista. That includes businesses and consumers, and both desktop computers and laptops. Windows 7 clocked in with nearly 49% share, while Windows 8 — the first release combined with the 8.1 update — is just over 11%. (Take heart Windows 8, your "Metro" interface is at least more popular than Vista.) The 3.8% share for Apple's OS X is a good reminder that while the company's gadgets fill people's pockets, its computers still represent a niche of the overall market.
To be clear: Windows XP computers will still work. It's just that Microsoft will no longer provide security patches and updates to protect the OS from viruses, malware and other threats. It's up to the computer's owner to batten down the hatches now. The low-hanging fruit for bad actors just got lower.
As Rachael King and Danny Yadron wrote last week, old platforms die hard. And that's a problem since so many of the computers still running XP are managing essential services like sewage treatment, water, electricity, ATMs and more. For the average person, Personal Technology columnist Joanna Stern has some tips to survive the end of XP.

The SCHS boys' soccer team stretched its unbeaten streak to five games with a 4-1 beating of visiting Western Hills Tuesday.
Sawyer Abshire scored twice to lead the Rockets on senior night.
"Really, we dominated the game," SCHS Coach B.J. Andriot said. "It was good because we got to play everybody, and it was really an easy win."
However, as the end of the season approaches, the Rockets do find themselves in a bit of a hole.

The Lady Rockets moved to 18-5 on the season by beating North Bullitt and Henry County.
The girls coasted by North Bullit,t 2-0 (25-14, 25-19), at home Tuesday and held off Henry County, 2-1 (20-25, 25-13, 27-25), on the road last Thursday.
"The North Bullitt match was a good win to help lead us into our upcoming tournament," SCHS Coach Felicia Pace said. "The win wasn't as strong as I had wanted, but I will gladly accept it."
Shelby County sophomore Caterina Karas took first place at the Franklin County Invitational Saturday, but the Lady Rockets' cross-country team just missed out on a top-10 team finish.
Karas ran the Kentucky Horse Park, the site of the State Meet, in 20 minutes, 1 second to win by 24 seconds.
Freshman Taylor Webb also placed in the top 30 of the 271 individuals, coming in 29th with a time of 22:04.
BARDSTOWN -- Despite several penalties and sloppy conditions, Shelby County held on to defeat Nelson County, 20-16, Friday night.
This was the fourth consecutive victory for the Rockets (4-1), while Nelson (2-3) lost its third straight in a row.
The Cardinals scored on their first possession, capping a 70-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tyler Martinez to Quentin Brooks.
Shelby County's Stacey Eden scored his first victory of the season at Saturday's Franklin County Invitational.
Running at the Kentucky Horse Park, the site of the State Meet, Eden, a senior, won with a time of 16 minutes, 46 seconds, more than 6 seconds ahead of Todd Hewitt of Eaton.
Eden's race up the standings wasn't the only big move for Shelby's cross-country team. Senior William Thompson moved up to 15th overall out of 306 individuals with a time of 17:48, and his classmate Travis Adams was in the top 50, finishing 42nd with a time of 18:44.
The SCHS boys' golf team had a 10-1 record in nine-hole matches, but tournaments seemed to be their problem all year long.
That trend didn't change Tuesday in the Region 6 Tournament at Seneca Park Golf Course.
The Rockets struggled early and often, finishing with a 352. Tayler Adams, playing in the Rockets' No. 3 spot, led the way for Shelby County with an 84. Rounding out the squad were Josh Griffin, with an 85, Josh Kuhn, with a 91, Jared Redmon, with a 92, and Turner Mayton, with a 95.
The only real winner in the Male High School Bulldog Cup this year was Mother Nature.
The Rockets played just one of what likely would have been a three- or four- game run for Shelby County.
SCHS tied Kentucky Country Day, 0-0, Saturday but needed a three-goal victory to advance to a makeshift title game.
SCHS Coach B.J. Andriot said his again dominated but again couldn't win. The Rockets are now 6-3-5 on the season.
The SCHS girls' volleyball team had been on tear until Nelson County visited Tuesday.
The Lady Cardinals dominated the first game and held off Shelby in the second game for a 2-0 (25-17, 25-22) victory.
The Lady Rockets pulled to 10-7 and made it close again at 16-14 before Nelson pulled away in that first game.
"Nelson County is a tough team that plays very good defense," SCHS Coach Felicia Pace said. "We can't come out with such a slow opening."
With a three-game winning streak the SCHS football team is starting to earn a little respect.
With years of being overlooked, it appears that the Rockets have arrived. Shelby County sits at No. 15 in all-class ranking in The Courier-Journal's Litkenhous ranking, No. 24 in Dave Cantrell's Rating the State published by The Herald-Leader and No. 10 in Class 6A by BluegrassPreps.

HAYWARD -- The Santa Paws Parade for pets Saturday will include one East Bay canine celebrity and his grateful human owner.
It's Deuce, the 5-year-old Yorkshire terrier who was dognapped from owner Helen Bignone in October, taken in an Alameda robbery along with the 80-year-old's purse.
Deuce was recovered in Stockton, his identity verified through an implanted chip, and dog and master reunited earlier this month. They'll both be guests of honor in Saturday's parade.
"We're very excited to have Deuce and Helen," said Gloria Ortega of the city's redevelopment department. "We're hoping to have them ride with the mayor."
The Santa Paws Parade is a flashback to an event that was one of the most popular children's parades in the nation in the mid-20th century, Ortega said. The city revived it in 2007 but was hampered from making it an annual event because of the economic downturn.
Following the parade, there will be activities at the main library, including issuing awards for best-dressed pet, animal and owner look-alike contest, pet photos with Santa, a pet boutique and pets for adoption.
Registration fees will benefit the Hayward Animal Shelter.
The dog parade comes on the tail of the Light Up the Season downtown event Thursday night.
Thousands of lights will light up B Street, and there will be a return of the popular tap-dancing Christmas trees, holiday train and skating on a synthetic ice rink, as well as live music, caroling and food, and Santa Claus for the kids.
For details, go to www.hayward-ca.gov.
What: Light Up the Season
When: 5:30-8 p.m. Thursday
Where: Downtown Hayward, along B Street, with a tree lighting at City Hall.
If you go
What: Santa Paws Parade
When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday
Where: Starts in parking lot across from downtown theater, ends in front of Hayward Main Library, 835 C St.
Details: To register or make a donation, go to www.hayward-ca.gov and click on the Santa Paws Parade link.

About Diabetes
From 1980 through 2007 the number of Americans with diabetes more than tripled, from 6 million to 21 million.

Our mission is to improve the health and quality of life for people living with diabetes, through management, education, advocacy and research. Whether diabetes is a new diagnosis or an ongoing health concern, we offer care and support with our inpatient and outpatient services.
Living with diabetes can be very challenging. But our outstanding, interdisciplinary team of highly experienced physicians, nurse practitioners, Certified Diabetes Educators (including nurses and dietitians) are here to help you get the most out of life.
Your diabetes care team will individualize a plan that includes medication, monitoring, lifestyle changes and education for adults with type 1or type 2 diabetes, newly diagnosed, poorly controlled or in need of long-term care and follow-up.

Lynda is my Eyelash Maven – I've written about her in the past, absolutely raving about the quality and her technique, but here I am again to give you a deeper dive on how amazing I really think she is. Owner of Dreamy Eyelashes, this girl has got it going on when it comes to lashes that last, are literally weightless (I honestly can never feel them, and that's a huge feat), and are applied so expertly you wouldn't believe that they weren't mine (though I'd really like to believe they are. Learn more about her after the jump.
There's something about the process of eyelash extensions that seems to be daunting. You might figure they take awhile, that they're a hassle to go and do…but it really and truly is painless with Lynda. Located downtown Toronto on Dundas, her space is personal, private, and perfect. I went with my friend Amanda, poster child of the STFUparty, and we chatted the night away while we took turns getting our lashes filled.
I received a mixture from 8-10mm lashes, and when applied look natural with a length that leaves you feeling great when you wake up with no make up, to when you head out without having to battle out tacky glue and strip lashes. Typically I brush them each morning, use Peptalash (a steal at Shoppers Drug Mart if you're interested in an economical lash serum), and remove all of my makeup with either Almay's eye make up pads or Lancôme's BI-Facil with a cotton pad. They last for about 6 weeks before they start to look sparse…but I have never, ever felt that they didn't hold up (and I've tried over 4 different lash spots).
If you'd like to look into the offerings by Dreamy Eyelashes, have a look at her website: dreamyeyelashes.ca. You'll be able to find services that range from Lash Extensions to Waxing. Let's go, New Year! Time to get beautiful for 2012.

In a sweet development for the state, a Krispy Kreme franchisee plans to build four doughnut shops in Southcentral Alaska during the next three years.
The first store is scheduled to open March 1, 2015, in East Anchorage. The exact location has not been determined, but the plan is for that operation to make 270 dozen donuts per hour.
After the first store, the plan is to open a new location in six-month intervals:
one in Midtown, one in South Anchorage and one in Wasilla. Those locations will produce 110 dozen donuts per hour.
All of the stores will be built from the ground up.
The agreement was announced Tuesday by Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Krispy Kreme and North to Alaska, LLC.
Anchorage-based North to Alaska is run by Jack Lewis, founder and operator of five local eateries: Sourdough Mining Company Restaurant, Peanut Farm Sports Grill, McGinley's Irish Pub and two Firetap Alehouse locations.
Krispy Kreme will be the first national donut franchise to set up shop in Alaska since Dunkin' Donuts pulled out of Anchorage years ago.
The agreement follows a series of recently-announced national restaurant chains heading for the Last Frontier, including Texas Roadhouse and Hard Rock Café.

U.S. House Again Votes to Repeal Obama's Health Care Law
The Republican-led U.S. House voted to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law, demonstrating party leaders' resolve to undo the president's main domestic-policy achievement.
The bill, H.R. 6079, passed on a vote of 244-185 yesterday, with five Democrats joining Republicans in favor of repeal. The vote represented the 33rd time House Republicans have voted to revoke all or parts of the 2010 health care law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The measure won't advance in the U.S. Senate, where Democrats hold the majority.
Unless Republicans win the presidency and gain the Senate majority next session, their attempts to repeal the law will go no further than the House.
The health-care law "is making our economy worse," House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said before the vote. "Americans want a step-by-step approach that protects the access to care that they need, from the doctor they choose at a lower cost."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said in a statement after the House vote that he will press for scrapping the law.
"I've already committed to making its repeal the first order of business in the Senate next year if I am the leader of the majority," McConnell said. "But in the meantime, I have filed a repeal amendment and will work to bring it up for a vote in the Senate."
Control of House
Democrats provided all of the votes to pass the health care overhaul, and they lost control of the House in November 2010. The House Democrats voting yesterday to scrap the law were Dan Boren of Oklahoma; Larry Kissell of North Carolina; Mike McIntyre of North Carolina; Jim Matheson of Utah and Mike Ross of Arkansas.
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 28 upheld the core of the health care law. The justices, voting 5-4, said Congress can require Americans to carry insurance or pay a penalty, which the court said was within lawmakers' constitutional power to tax.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in a floor speech that the 2010 law makes health care "a right, not a privilege for a few." She called the repeal provision a "bill to nowhere."
Later, in a Bloomberg Television interview, Pelosi said the renewed vote to repeal is "not different, just an additional waste of time." She rejected the notion that the health care overhaul may cost Democrats congressional seats in November as it did in 2010.
'Do a Job'
"We came here to do a job, not to hold a job," Pelosi said.
Michigan Republican Dave Camp criticized the health care law, saying "health care premiums are not going down as a result of this law, they are going in the other direction."
Camp, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the law contains an incentive for "employers to drop coverage because it's cheaper to pay the tax" than to pay insurance premiums.
In a column in yesterday's Washington Post, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius disputed Camp's contention about rising premiums. She said the share of small businesses offering employee health-care coverage has held steady at 59 percent since the law passed.
"This is another of their message weeks dedicated solely to the politics of their base," House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said of the Republican efforts.
Romney Booed
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, was booed yesterday when he told a convention of the NAACP in Houston that he would repeal the health-care law.
House Republicans had pledged to "repeal and replace" the overhaul. Now, Republican leaders have dropped the word "replace" from their promise.
The omission is the result of an election-year calculation: They figure they stand to gain from public distaste for the 2010 measure's central provision, the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance, and will lose if they start providing details about what they would do instead.
"They don't care to replace it," Ross Baker, a professor of American politics at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, said in a telephone interview. "They want to revert to the status quo. Whatever plan they have is going to end up alienating somebody, especially during a presidential campaign."
'The Big Thing'
The House won't pursue other major health-care legislation before the November election because "the big thing is going to be the election," Representative Wally Herger, a California Republican who leads the health subcommittee of the Ways and Means Committee, said in an interview. "Everybody is looking to the election, everything is second fiddle to November."
Democrats used a procedural vote yesterday for a political message: to get Republicans on record as voting to protect their own taxpayer-financed health care benefits. A Democratic proposal, defeated on a mostly party-line vote of 248-180, would have forced any lawmaker who voted to repeal the health-care law to forfeit his or her federal health-care benefits.
