Vincelot, who signed on loan only yesterday from Brighton, struck after 23 minutes to get the Gills back to winning ways after a 2-1 midweek defeat at Torquay had allowed Port Vale to close the gap.
Vale came unstuck at Northampton, losing 2-0, while Torquay kept their momentum going with a second home win this week after beating Morecambe 1-0 to move into the play-off places.
Rotherham are sixth courtesy of a 1-0 home win over Plymouth, while the remainder of the chasing pack at the top of the table were unable to find their scoring boots, with Fleetwood drawing 0-0 at Rochdale and Bradford City coming up short with a 1-0 defeat at Burton Albion.
The biggest scores in a relatively quiet matchday were at Adams Park, where Wycombe succumbed 3-1 to visitors Oxford United, and Whaddon Road where defender Keith Lowe's brace helped secure a 3-0 success for Cheltenham at home to Exeter.
Barnet edged closer to fighting their way off the foot of the Football League structure after Mark Byrne's stoppage time penalty was enough to topple Chesterfield 1-0 at the Proact Stadium with Aldershot now just two points clear of the Londoners in second-bottom after a goalless draw at Dagenham.
There was one other 0-0 result, between Southend and York City at Roots Hall, while Accrington left it late to beat the out of sorts Bristol Rovers 1-0 to move up to 12th in the table.

Friday, 8 February 2013
From worldwidewords.org:
From Hinshaw, Georgia, USA: When we were growing up my father used a curious expression when something happened around our house for which nobody would take the blame. Dad would say, 'Yehudi did it'. Thus the blame was laid on a phantom scapegoat. Dad's roots are from North Carolina, but he has no explanation for this expression. The only Yehudi I ever heard of was Menuhin. Where does this expression originate?
A The most common story ties it to the Pepsodent-sponsored Bob Hope radio show on NBC, which started in 1938. There was a running gag on the show, a catchphrase of supporting player Jerry Colonna, who would regularly ask: "Who's Yehudi?". This became extremely popular and provoked a song in 1941. (These were simpler days.)
The earliest example in print of Yehudi, in a sense of something that isn't there, is from the Science News Letter of September 1940: "The machine has not received a nickname as yet. Since it deals with imaginary numbers, it may answer to the name of 'Yehudi'." In 1942, a film entitled Crazy Cruise featured an invisible battleship, the SS Yehudi. The following year, one of the very earliest US military stealth projects was called Project Yehudi.
I haven't been able to find any earlier references, so the word really may have its origin in Jerry Colonna's catchphrase. If it does, then there may well be a connection with Yehudi Menuhin. The story claims that Menuhin was engaged to play on one of the early shows, but that Jerry Colonna didn't know who he was, and went around asking the cast. This is supposed to have led to the running gag of his trying to identify Yehudi.
Part of the popularity of Yehudi as a term for an invisible entity may lie in a linkage in people's minds with a rhyme by Hughes Mearns that was set to music as The Little Man Who Wasn't There in 1939 — just when the Colonna catchphrase was becoming known:

Grades 9-10
Reading RI.9-10.4
Standard 4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language of a court opinion differs from that of a newspaper).
Breakin' it Down:
This standard has two different skills disguised as one. The first is that students have to be able to figure out the meaning of a word using context clues. They've probably been exposed to this skill since elementary school, but you have to make sure they can do it with 9th and 10th grade texts.
The second skill in this standard is the ability to analyze the overall language patterns or style of a technical text. For informational texts, you'll probably want to expose students to texts written for a wide range of technical audiences: art critics, car mechanics, historians, doctors, artists (or whatever floats your boat). This gives them a chance to find patterns in tone or diction across genres of writing.
Give students plenty of opportunities to analyze the different language patterns in various texts, and the effects that these have on the reader. In short, students have to be able to articulate how the audience of a particular text affects the writer's language choice.

Example 1
Teacher Feature: Ideas for the classroom
1. HATCHLING: Define a word using context clues
Once students hit high school, they have to be willing to dig deeper and read further for context clues. Give them passages where the clues to a word require reading in another paragraph, or making connections between two parts of a text. In informational writing, students can't expect the definition of a word to always be sitting right next to the word itself.
You can create multiple-choice context clue questions with any text you have in class or find plenty of released practice tests from college entrance exams to keep students fresh.
Example 2
2. TAKE FLIGHT: Do-It-Yourself
In our increasingly digital society, you can learn just about anything by pulling up an online article. A fun way to test this standard is to give students a technical document (how to make a paper airplane, how to assemble a blender, how to write a press release), and challenge them to make something or answer a quiz about the topic with only the text to guide them. It forces them to figure out the technical vocabulary and keep all their terms in order. Follow it up with a short vocab quiz on the important terms from the text.
It might seem silly, but these types of texts are becoming more frequent on standardized reading exams. With just a little bit of creativity, you can find technical documents that tie-in to your thematic units or supplement your class readings.
Quiz QuestionsHere's an example of a quiz that could be used to test this standard.

EasyJet's New CEO Talks A Good Talk, But Turbulent Times Ahead
So it was easyJet's new CEO's first outing yesterday, so today I've decided to rate her performance.
Having been in the job for just three weeks, I'd been led to believe Carolyn McCall would be taking a back seat at the trading update. Instead a last minute email confirmed she would do the media rounds.
Looking at today's headlines, no one has focused on the results and you can understand why. She admitted to us the problems the company was facing — namely staff shortages and ineffective rostering, not least low morale. You can read our coverage here.
It was a clever move by McCall, I think. By admitting these issues, and so early on, she's effectively saying 'it's not my fault' and blaming previous boss Andy Harrison for the airline's woes. No doubt founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou's relentless raging against the easyJet machine piled on the pressure — and perhaps without his roars, the airline could have gone a couple extra months before acknowledging the challenges it faces.
It's been hard to judge McCall. She comes from Guardian Media Group, a non-listed company, and hasn't faced the level of scrutiny some chief executives have to endure. On top of that she ran a publication house through one of the toughest downturns, with media offerings evolving rapidly. So making a loss there was expected.
However the impression I and a few others have is that she answered questions more thoroughly than we would have expected for someone who's barely got their feet under their new desk. Bonus points there.
Still, one of her most immediate issues will be how to deal with the winter schedule. Will she try to stop growing the fleet or stick to the path Harrison set out and reap the wrath of Stelios. One thing's for sure, the longer she's in the job, the more responsibility she'll have to take for hiccups and troubles.
Marks? Hmmm..five out of 10 maybe. But that's only because I'm sitting on the fence for the moment.
McCall talks a good talk. Now she has to deliver.

#1 Consumer Comment
Need to be more skeptical.
AUTHOR: Flynrider - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 13, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Although it sounds like common sense, I would suggest that you not believe anyone that you don't know who calls you up and makes scary claims (and wants your credit card number).
" superior tech contacted me and advised me that i had some viruses on my computer "
Your first question should have been, " What were you doing in my computer without permission?" Followed by "How did you get my phone number?" I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
There are many reputable virus/malware protection software companies in the market. None of them make unsolicited calls to consumers claiming that they have detected a virus in a computer that they had no legal access to. In fact, it's doubtful that the people who make these phone calls even know for sure that you have a computer, much less what is in it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Suggestion
What you may do
AUTHOR: MochaG - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 13, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, March 13, 2013
One way is to use Windows system restore. Assuming that your computer has not be tampered with the system restoration. This would at least fixed some of the problem, but may not be a complete solution because certain malware could be hidden in the location where the system restore does not change the content. As a result, your restoration may be successful but the computer will get infected right away.
Another way which I strongly suggest is find someone (a real person) whom you know and the person needs to be knowledgeable at least in back-up and reinstalling a computer. If you could find someone who knows how to deal with infected computer, it would be even better because the person may be able to clean your computer before doing the back-up. Ask the person to clean your computer for you.
Remember, NEVER believe anyone who calls you and tells you that your computer is infected. NEVER believe any website you visit and got a pop up saying that your computer is infected. If you go to one of a well-known virus/malware software site (i.e. AVG, Zone Alarm, Trend Macro, etc), let the site scan your computer, and the site said your computer is infected, do NOT immediately believe but double check with other well known sites as well because it could be a "false alarm" for the scan.
Also, do NOT believe that someone can FIX your computer via the Internet. It is more or less a scam. You need a real person to do the work. Common sense, the computer shuts down and disconnects from the Internet, how would the person knows exactly what it looks like if the computer cannot boot up again?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Solutions for Chapter 6.3
The metal strap shown, with a rectangular cross section (height h, width b) has a Young's Modulus value of E. It is bent around a circular cylinder with radius r. Find an expression for the maximum tensile stress in the strap, σmax. Express the answer in terms of E, r, and the dimensions of the strap.
Since stress is directly proportional to strain, the maximum value of stress occurs at the maximum value of strain. Max extensional strain occurs on the outside of the strap; Max tensile stress occurs at the same spot.
The radius of curvature, ρ, is measured from the center of the circular pulley to the neutral axis of the strap, so:
……. (1)
The radius of the cylinder is r
The height of the metal strap
The y value is negative because the point of interest is below the neutral axis:
……. (2)
Calculate the maximum strain,
Calculate the maximum stress by using Hooke's law,
Therefore, the maximum stress is

Nice apartment.
Practical appartment for a couple with small children in a very convenient location: subway nearby, taxi stand across the street, Sagrada definitely within walking distance. Quiet neighbourhood, though thin walls inside, with some loud front door noises. The interior being pretty worn out, this place seems to be rented out often and for a long time now. Uncomfortable single beds. Friendly reception by an agency guy. Cleaning wasn't done upon arrival, but swiftly after.
Nice and clean apartment in a quiet area with almost no traffic during the nights. From the apartment it is less than 5 min to walk to get to the metro and 10min with the metro to the historic districts of BCN.
Very Nice apartment! But, you cant THE skillet, becurse it was so bendet! And there was no bread Knif and the toast machine was not Working and so on :)
+ good location near the center and grocery store
+ Mathias (friend of Fernando) gave us a lot and very good information about Barcelona
+ big terrace
+ airco
- very noisy at night and early morning (noisy doors, elevator and neighbours)
- when someone in the building used water (tap, shower, toilet) there was a loud squeaky noise
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice and spacious apartment, great and convenient location.
The flat is new and complete as described in the website. Only the sofa bed is a little small for 2 persons. Near to the metro station and a big commercial centre.
Great place in the middle of the popular Gracia aria. According to our bike rental guy, the best place to be ! Definitely ! In the evening on walking distance in 5 minutes from the apartment a lot of places to go out for dinner, tapas and other foreign restaurants, like thai, libanese, chinese, japans and vietnamese.
The apartment was very clean, perfect for family, airconditioning and good car park nearby, instead of euro 30 a day, 10 euro a day. The bike rental was nearby, www.rentabikebarcelona.com, also a good price !! 9 euro a day.
It is a very nice appartment, close to metro. We have been there 2 weeks.
End of June is very good period to go to Barcelona. Temperature during day time 28c and at night 20c. The airco works well.
With the buss D46 you can go for a very cheap price from Airport to appartment.
The handy man fixed very quickly some complaints. We also can recomend to go the beach of Casteldefess. You can easily go with L8 and R2 to Castelldefess beach. We have been twice nearly robbed. At the beach and at the metro. There is a good bakery 3 houses from the appartment.

Great product & priceEasy to use website and plenty of choice. The hardest part was deciding what lettering to put on the garment. Only gripe was the sizing chart which although clear didn't help me for chest sizes I would normally pick from at clothing stores.

Does anyone know why z-index does'nt work with the slider. I need to put something over the slider but it stays under no matter what.
Does anyone know why z-index does'nt work with the slider. I need to put something over the slider but it stays under no matter what.
z-index will only effect elements that have a position attribute defined, i.e. relative, absolute, etc.
The div id that I have associated to my shortcode has a relative position. Should that work? [promoslider id="slider_01_pics" category="slider-01"]
Can you post a link to your site? It's hard to help with CSS issues without seeing the site.
Sure! The site is still under construction but here is the link : http://www.calvs.ca/index.php
I want to place invisible images over the slider to act as links kind of like an image map would do. The image is a transparent png called invisible_link_btn.png. May not be the best way to do it but it is simple and it should work.
Hmm, that's kind of a strange set-up, but I looked at it and it may be that you need to assign the z-index to the images in the slider -- not just the enclosing div.
I know this is strange but as long as it works I am happy with it. I am not sure if I can assign css definitions to featured images. I will take a look but if you have any cue please let me know.

Virtual Intermediaries: Consumption Tax Problems in Japan, Europe, and the United States - The Case of the Virtual Travel Agent
Richard Thompson Ainsworth
NYU - Graduate Tax Program; Boston University - School of Law
October 26, 2009
57 Tax Notes International 865 (March 8, 2010)
Boston Univ. School of Law Working Paper No. 09-49
Marketplace technology is (inadvertently) chipping away at the effectiveness of consumption taxes – the Japanese Consumption Tax (CT), the European value added tax (VAT), and the American sales tax (ST) are all affected. Frequently a technology-patch or a law change can repair the tax-damage, but sometimes even though a patch or a change is known the design of the levy (or the politics behind the design) impedes application. This paper assesses these consumption taxes by considering the impact that virtual travel agents have had on revenue yields. The paper draws specific conclusions for the Japanese CT, because this consumption tax seems particularly vulnerable to these intermediaries. Based on the structure of the Japanese Consumption Tax and estimates drawn from the performance of virtual intermediaries in the other consumption taxes, this paper estimates that approximately ¥26,532 million in CT has not been collected in Japan each year for the past eight to ten years. This is the case even though guests may believe that they have paid a full measure of the CT to reservation agents when on-line reservations have been made through virtual travel agents.

The Oak Guest House was run for members of the Monday Club, (Google it, Kipper), as a paedophile exchange for members of the Tory party. Thatcher tried to cover it all up, including having the owner of the place murdered.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer joined Wawa Inc. bosses Howard Stoeckel and Chris Gheysens Wednesday for the opening of the Delaware County-based chain's first store in the Sunshine State, a quick-turnover smokes-and-Cokes, gas-and-hoagies outlet drawing homesick Philadelphia expatriates and curious natives to Orlando's Central Florida Parkway.
Wawa says it will "penetrate" central Florida between now and late August with two more stores in Orlando and two in nearby Kissimmee, with later sites planned for the Tampa area.
Wawa insists its stores are "filling a void in our new Florida customers' lives," as Gheysens said in a statement.

I have been a customer of OOMA for over a year. I have owned MagicJack and played with Vonage and of course the Bell system. Originally, I was concerned about the longevity of OOMA. But at a savings of $40 a month compared to Bell, I took the plunge. You do the math. I broke even after 7 months. Second was the call quality. It's internet dependent so bandwidth can be an issue, but not if you let IT control the house bandwidth by putting it FIRST in line, before your router. I haven't had a problem since I did that. It is land line equivalent. Outtages are few. Maybe once in a year for an hour or so. Connections are perfect 99% of the time. I also now own Telo. It's a bit of a different concept. I have two scouts with the HUB. Telo uses handsets to duplicate the function of the scouts and those aren't out yet... but the call quality is identical to the HUB with some pretty flashy lights and touch switches instead of push switches. Interesting USB port on the TELO (support charging?) and talk of support for blue tooth. And, obviously, it acts as a base station for cordless handsets without having to plug a handset base into it. COST: There are some costs associated with this beyond the hardware purchase. It will cost you about $120 a year. (yes, $10 a month) to get all the features including a second voice line and second phone number. The "Core" services (telephone dial tone with caller ID) will cost $12 a year or so if you don't want the second line, etc. Check to see what you need and the break even point. Just do the math. OOMA appears to be charging forward and not in any hurry to disappear. VONAGE is expensive and you keep paying LOTS ($25 a month minimum). MagicJack is computer dependent (OOMA and VONAGE are not). I let my one year subscription expire with MagicJack. I wish I hadn't spent money on it. It's good as an emergency phone, but with a good Cell plan... who needs it. Cable company voice comes out to be $25-30 a month when you calculate their discount disppearing. So if you are looking for dependable and inexpensive VOIP home phone service, OOMA is the best and least expensive as far as I am concerned. It takes a 6-8 months to break even, but.. I plan on using a land line for a bit longer than that. I can't wait to buy a couple of handsets.

The Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization and Interventional Program at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, is widely recognized as one of the world's leaders in interventional cardiac catheterization. By utilizing the latest innovations in imaging technologies, coupled with the newest catheter and device technologies, the cardiologists at The Heart Program are able to routinely perform both simple and complex interventional cardiac catheterization procedures that serve to enhance or, in certain cases, eliminate the need for open-heart surgery.
All currently available interventional heart catheterization procedures are performed including:
While the catheterization laboratory is a high-tech environment, the program philosophy of high-tech meets high-touch is evident in every aspect of care. Families learn about their child's heart catheterization procedure in a special pre-catheterization clinic and are encouraged to remain with their child in the cath lab until he or she is comfortably asleep. Blood work is completed while children are sleeping, in keeping with the hospital's emphasis on minimizing stress. This family focused approach to care has contributed to the program's international reputation and prominence.
Eight subspecialty programs of Nicklaus Children's Hospital, part of Miami Children's Health System, are again ranked among the best in the nation, according to U.S.News & World Report's 2016-17 "Best Children's Hospitals" rankings, posted online today.
National three-year awards recognize exceptional patient care and a healthy work environment.
Pediatric cardiologists from throughout North America will focus on identification and treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and medical conditions that can lead to sudden cardiac death in children and teens.
The Heart Program provides care for more children with congenital heart disorders than any other hospital in Florida and has been ranked among the nation's best for pediatric cardiology and heart surgery by U.S.News & World Report.
What's more, The Heart Program has cardiovascular surgery outcomes that are among the very best in the nation, according to a U.S.News & World Report assessment conducted as part of the most recent ranking.
Nicklaus Children's Heart Program is a qualified participant in Aetna's Institutes of Excellence™ network.
During the 1960s, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, became the first facility in Florida to perform pediatric open-heart surgery. Over the years, the hospital has continued to build on this tradition of leadership and excellence in pediatric cardiology.
In 1995, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, recruited top cardiac physicians and surgeons in pediatric cardiology to oversee new services that included Florida's first dedicated Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, a state-of-the-art Interventional Cardiac Catheterization Program, and, later, a Clinical Research Program and Electrophysiology Program.
The Heart Program offers the most advanced diagnostic, surgical and interventional techniques and equipment for treatment and management of pediatric cardiovascular conditions. The pediatric cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories are the most technologically advanced in existence, allowing The Heart Program to offer children the latest innovations.
While in this high-tech arena, children and their families are at the center of a multidisciplinary medical effort. They are surrounded by a team of doctors, nurses and staff who know, through years of experience, just how to meet the special needs of the tiniest patients, as well as how to support families in managing the stress of having a child in a critical-care setting.

The sanctity of judicial independence, a fundamental tenant of the Constitution, has been steadily eroded commensurate with the erosion of judicial salaries.Our Founding Fathers buttressed the premise of judicial independence in Article III of the Constitution by prohibiting diminution of judicial salaries and guaranteeing life tenure, thereby empowering judges to make fair and impartial - but often unpopular - decisions, free from political or economic pressures.1 An unprecedented exodus of federal judges, as a result of inadequate judicial compensation (given the cost of living and the economic demands of raising and educating children) has resulted in a "constitutional crisis"2according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts.Failure to increase judicial compensation, and the consequent attrition of the federal judiciary, undermines judicial independence and the integrity of the Constitution.
Over the past few decades, the number of departures of federal judges has steadily increased.In the last eight years alone, at least forty-eight judges have left the federal bench, and another 20 judges are projected to leave before 2009.3Although some attrition is attributable to age and other factors, it is irrefutable that judicial salaries, which are contingent on congressional legislation, have not been increased to keep pace with inflation.The last substantial pay raise for federal judges was nearly twenty years ago.Although the average U.S. worker's wages have risen about 18% since 1969, when adjusted for inflation, federal judicial pay has declined about 24%4- in sharp contrast with judicial pay in foreign jurisdictions.For example, increases in judicial compensation in the United Kingdom and Canada have far exceeded the cost of living.5 Federal district court judges now receive only 50% of the salaries of their counterparts in England,6and 80% of their counterparts in Canada.7
The erosion of judicial independence is not without consequence.If the term of a judge is dictated by the financial ability to remain in the position, the threat to judicial independence is inherent.Knowing inadequate compensation may necessitate a return to the private sector, and fearing professional alienation, judges may be reluctant to take an unfavorable or unpopular position or may develop industry or law firm sensitivity for fear of impacting future employment opportunities.After all, human nature is what it is - a law firm may be disinclined to hire a judge that is perceived to dislike the firm or has ruled consistently against its clients.A federal judgeship should not become a stepping stone to private practice; the constitutional expectation is life tenure and judges should never have to be concerned about returning to future practice.The Constitution intended to insulate judges from precisely these influences.
The growing disparity in salaries between the judiciary and the private sector underscores the financial sacrifice made by federal judges and the lure of private practice. The day after leaving a clerkship, a federal judge's law clerk can make more as a first year associate at a law firm than a federal judge.As the value of judicial salaries continues to decline, the workload continues to increase, the nature of the work becomes more complex, and the promises of cost-of-living adjustments remain empty, there is an increased risk that judges will continue to leave the bench for other opportunities and promising talent will be less likely to accept appointment.Lawyers frequently decline judicial appointment because of concerns over subsistence.
Equally alarming is the prospect that inadequate compensation may diminish the ability to attract diverse candidates from the practicing bar, and the judiciary will inevitably lose the "war for talent." Not so long ago, about 65% of federal judges came from the practicing bar, with 35% from the public sector.Today, the numbers are reversed - about 60% of federal judges come from the public sector, with less than 40% from private practice.8 The benefit of a judiciary with diverse legal experience from the legal profession, including private practice, will be eroded if the composition of the federal bench is constrained by deficient judicial pay.
The failure of Congress to increase judicial salaries to keep pace with inflation is a substantial "diminution in compensation," tantamount to a constitutional violation of Article III.Although Chief Justice Roberts, in his 2007 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary, is optimistic about current congressional progress addressing the crisis, the fact remains that pay increase legislation is still pending but has not passed. Congress must act to eliminate decades of neglect to preserve judicial independence, to prevent the departure of a qualified, seasoned judiciary, and to attract diverse candidates to the bench.The federal judiciary must be provided with income commensurate with the honor and respect of the office, and consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
