Vikings can't keep pace with Red Rams
Northern Vance moved the chains Friday in its home opener, but the Vikings couldn't keep pace with Franklinton in a 50-28 loss.
Northern dropped to 0-3 on the season while the Red Rams improved to 3-0.
The Vikings trailed only 23-20 at halftime before Franklinton racked up 27 third-quarter points to put away the home team.
Quarterback Daquan Neal and speedy tailback Travon Judkins accounted for every Red Ram score.
Neal was 3-of-6 passing for 97 yards and a touchdown, running for 103 yards on 12 carries and four scores.
Judkins tallied 191 yards on 20 carries, adding two touchdowns. He rushed for 126 of those in the second half, the majority of which came in the third quarter, including touchdown runs of 16 and 65 yards.
Northern sophomore quarterback Kris Haywood scrambled and ran in the left side of the end zone for a score, then threw for a two-point conversion to cut the lead to 36-28 with 6:29 left in the third quarter.
But Judkins capped off a 48-yard drive with the 12-yard score and the Red Rams scored again with 1:01 remaining in the third.
Franklinton put up 359 rushing yards and 456 yards of total offense to Northern's 328 yards of total offense.
The Vikings, who had eight penalties for 65 yards, lost two fumbles and backup quarterback Kyland Bullock threw two interceptions. One of those came on the last play of the game as Northern's Justin Care laid out the Red Ram defender, preventing another score.
Haywood was 5-of-9 passing for 73 yards and rushed for 81 yards and three touchdowns on seven attempts.
Tamaj Bullock ran for Northern's other score from 3 yards out in the second quarter to get the Vikes within three points. He finished with 82 yards rushing on 24 carries.
Northern visits Southern Vance next week.

I was looking for something to help dress up the stage for an upcoming Vacation Bible School with a rock music theme. I decided to take a chance on this expecting something more flimsy. This is light-weight, went together reasonably fast, and will certainly hold the lights we need. This is not a truss you should climb on, but it does everything promised. Delivery was fast and everything present in the box. Great job Guitar Center!
Very Decent Truss... I bought this for a last minute gig, because I only had a cheap LTS-4 to hang my lights from (couldn't hold all of them). Decent truss for the money i payed. The instructions require a bit of head scratching, however (no words!), but once you set it up it looks great. I hang 4 LED Par 64's, 2 Scanners, a LED Derby, and a LED Mushroom from it, and there is no sagging. I will admit that, being a 1-man DJ crew, it's not very fun to raise up with lights on, so tenderly, I just bring along a 4ft ladder. I did find, (which is really why i gave it 4 stars) that the hardware of it feels a bit cheap. A couple of the support "T" screws have begun to strip, and I feel it can't take the load of much more than whats on there. If your tight on $$, and you need a truss, this is great for you.
When the Truss Arrived and I opened the box everything was there, it went together fairly easily and I use it every weekend now, easily holds the 14 lights i put on it between the truss and the bars on top. Works great for bridal shows and trade shows. Nice and Clean and very Easy to use.... Cant go wrong with this truss

This is a translation of the Opera Mathematica de Viète, compiled by van Schooten (1646). Specifically, this Dover edition is an unabridged reprint of Witmers book, originally published by the Kent State University Press in 1983. The title The Analytic Art refers to Viètes Isagoge in Artem Analyticem that was published in 1591 and forms the first chapter. Together with the remaining eight chapters, this corresponds to the nine studies referred to in the subtitle above. The introduction contains a short biography of Viète (1540-1603) and briefly places his work within a historical context (he came one generation after Cardano and one generation before Descartes and Fermat ).
The translation of Viètes Latin prose into English certainly conveys the quaintness of the 16th century vernacular, but the mathematics is presented mainly in modern form, which means that the original notation has largely been lost in translation. For example, where Viète would write:
Confectarium: Itaque si A cubus + B plano 3 in A, aequetur Z solido 2,
& aequetur D cubo.
Ergo , sit A de qua quaeritur.
Witmer gives this syncopated version on page 287:
Corollary: So, if A3+3BpA80=2Z s and ,
A, the unknown, is (Bp-D2)/D
Comparing this to the original, I was surprised by that term A80, until I realised it referred to footnote 80 at the bottom of page 287!
This prompts the observation that, in Witmers book, although there are various footnotes, there is no commentary on Viètes work, and readers have to deduce the meaning of terms such as Bppp. Another clue to its actual meaning is obtained from the translation of the same piece of Viètes writing provided by Cajori [1 ]:
If therefore x3+3B2x=2Z3, and , then
is x, as required.
Hence, Cajori reads B-plano-plano-plani and Bppp as both representing B6, each being (B2)3, and the terms Z-solido-solido and Zss represent Z6, since each is equivalent to (Z3)2, whilst D cubo obviously refers to D3.
Viète was the first to make systematic use of letters to denote coefficients, and this enabled him to deal with equations expressed in general form, as opposed to the Italian algebraists, who mainly solved particular equations. But why did he resort to the use of such strange terminology? The answer certainly isnt obvious from Witmers footnotes, but it can be extracted from the general context of Viètes mathematical thinking. For a start, he rejected the word algebra because of its association with Arabic mathematics, which he regarded as non-rigorous. Instead, he preferred the terminology and processes of Greek mathematics, due to the traditions of its supposed logical rigor. In fact, he declares his allegiance to the analysis of Plato and Theon in the very first sentence of this translation.
Moreover, in the introduction to the Analytic Art, he gives his Fundamental Rules of Equations and Proportions in a form analogous to the axioms of Euclid, and he describes his work on algebra under three categories, the first two of which he adapted from Pappus:
As with Greek geometricians, Viète used capital letters to denote lines and surfaces, so he thought in terms of elementary spatial concepts. Naturally, he adopted an associated terminology to describe the various magnitudes appearing in his equations. Thus, where Witmer gives us x times x5 yields x6, Viète would say a breadth times a plano-solid produces a solido-solid. Moreover, he uses the term proportional to describe his equations due to his adherence to homogeneity of dimension. So he would deal with an equation like A4 + B3A = B3Z in which each term is of order 4. Conversely, an equation such as A2 +A = 2Z would not conform to any geometric sense because A2 represents a plane, while the other terms are one-dimensional.
Interestingly, although the = sign first appeared in 1557, Viète didnt ever use it and expressed that relationship verbally (aequetur).
Despite his heavy reliance upon spatial terminology, Viète avoided use of geometric methods and the first part of this book (Isagoge in Artem Analyticem, 1591) represented the first effective effort to establish algebra as a subject independent of geometry. Of course, by improving on Viétes algebra, and implicitly laying the foundations for the coordinatisation of dependent variables, Descartes subsequently completed the role reversal, whereby geometry has since been mainly algebraic.
Viètes algebra occupies the bulk of this book, which he describes in two parts as Five Books of the Zetetica and Two Treatises on the Understanding and Amendment of Equations. The Zetetica contains about eighty individual zetetics (problems), of which an example from Book I would be: Given the product of the roots and their ratio, find the two roots And from Book III: To find numerically two squares with a given difference between them. As for the two treatises on the amendment of equations, they represent an advance in the study of the formal manipulation of equations and methods for solving them. For example, chapter VI of the second treatise is called How Biquadratic Equations are Reduced to Quadratics by Means of Cubes of a Plane Root, or on Completing the Power. An example his method of substitution, is found on p. 449 of Smith [2] and is expressed in the original as:
Si A quad. + B2 in A, aequetur Z plano. A+B esto E. Igitur E quad. Aequabitur Z plano+ B quad.
Translated by Witmer as: If A2+2BA=Z2, let A+B=E, then E2= Zp+B2
The penultimate chapter covers Viètes writing on numerical methods for the extraction of roots whilst the very last chapter, which seemingly concerns the geometry of the circle, really focuses upon some of Vietes notable work on trigonometry. For instance, Witmer translates AB quadratum ad AD in AC minus CB in DB, ut AB ad AE, as
AB2:[(ADxAC) (CBXDB)] = AB:AE
In modern notation this becomes cos(A+B) = cosB.cosA sinB.sinA
Overall, I was fascinated by Witmers book, but I reserve judgement on the accuracy of his translation, since there is no equivalent English version for purposes of comparison. Nonetheless, many of the translated excerpts contained in some of the general histories are in agreement with the equivalent bits done by Witmer, who is deserving of belated thanks for the completion of the long and difficult task of translating and transposing Viètes most important work into a single volume. As a result, the work of that great French algebraist is now accessible to all those interested in the history of mathematics. This book is therefore recommended for inclusion in the libraries of all institutions offering such courses.

I felt compelled to write a review after reading the ones that were here. This is not a fancy brick oven pizza joint. There is no waiter or fancy decor. This is a REAL old school neighborhood pizzeria. I've been eating here since I'm a kid. Now I take my kids here. It def is my favorite in the hood. They make awesome heroes as well as standard Italian dishes. The steak sandwich is to die for. I get the stracciatella soup for the kids at least twice a week. It has pasta with spinach and egg, and they eat every last drop without a fight. Very healthy! The cappuccino and espresso are also perfection. No this is not a place for a romantic dinner. You either drop by for a quick slice or just get delivery. You won't be dissapointed.

I must admit I don't understand the negative reviews of this place... Especially the one below talking about employees not wearing rubber gloves and how "it looks like an old coffee shop" (uh, tourist, welcome to how a New York style pizza joint should look, bare hands and all. I hear they wear rubber gloves at Papa Johns...nation wide). This place is the real deal and the slices are good. I admit I prefer to go to Motorino as I love brick oven pizza, but if I want some slices delivered (which the precious and honestly over-appreciated Carmines/Carmines ll does not do), I want to support a local business that really knows how it's done.
Posted by in the neighborhood on 11/19/2008
The food here is mediocre at best. The pizza is average and the sauce is very salty. I had probably the worst eggplant parmigian hero in my life at this place, and I've eaten a lot of them, would never order that again. The place looks like an old coffee shop and seems pretty dirty. The guys handling the pizza are always barehanded and they handle money and food without washing hands, let alone gloves. If you're extremely hungry and need pizza and can't walk a block to Sal's or a few blocks to Carmine's (best in the hood), I suppose it would do.
Posted by Nick on 08/17/2008
I live so close to this place that it kills me that its not any better than it is. The pizza is the same grease-filled crap that you can find in any typical NYC pizza joint. If you like this place, then must you surely rave about the 1,000 other mediocre pizza places in NYC too. The staff couldn't care less and the price didn't make it a deal. You can do better.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/14/2007
I think this is the perfect NYC style pizza. No camparison the other who cater to trust fund babies in Williamsburg. Hold the tufu and give me a real slice of good pizza. Heller as madea would say.
Posted by kay on 09/27/2007
I had the sicilian pizza the first time I tried it, and it was pretty doughy. However it tasted pretty awesome the next day when we reheated the food in the toaster oven. I'm all about the neo pizza though - yum. Ok speed on delivery, not as fast as some of the chinese places around here, but good overall.
Posted by Jaci on 04/12/2007
I'm a true Brooklyn girl and this is definitely true brooklyn pizza. Definitely the best damn slice you can get in this area, believe me - I've tried it all. Pizza is great here, but also their heros are awesome as well as the grilled chicken salad.

Effects Of Lupron Shot
I had a 3 month Lupron shot for prostate cancer in mid April 2008 and I still have the hot flashes every 15 minutes to 1/2 hour by the clock and I`m still chemically castrated in mid September. What`s up with that?
The effects of the Lupron shot could potentially last several months, even 6-12 months.

Guillermo Lugo, 51, is wanted by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office on child pornography and child sexual assault charges.
SAN ANTONIO — A man who officials said left a thumb drive containing images of child porn at a local university campus is being sought by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Guillermo Lugo, 51, is wanted for sexual assault of a child, indecency with a child and possession of child pornography, according to the sheriff's office Facebook page.
Lugo reportedly called campus police at Texas A&M University-San Antonio for assistance in finding a lost thumb drive, the Facebook page said.
When this call was made, the timeframe that he may have lost the thumb drive and where he might have left it wasn't mentioned.
The drive was found and seized as evidence after the discovery of "disturbing images of children" on the device.
Lugo has a tattoo of the name "Isabel" on his right forearm, according to his wanted poster.
He also uses the names Will Lugo and Guillermo Courvier.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- The University of New Mexico Athletics Department and former Lobo Doug Vaughan have announced the establishment of The Vaughan Company Realtors Jeanne Fairchild Endowed Scholarship for Volleyball today at a special presentation in the Johnson Center on the campus of UNM.
Vaughan, a former UNM baseball player and current member of the Lobo Club Board of Directors, has started the endowment in recognition of the accomplishments of UNM volleyball player Jeanne Fairchild and to encourage more Lobo boosters to recognize successful UNM student-athletes.
"I've watched Jeanne Fairchild grow over the past ten years to become a wonderful role model for athletes," said Vaughan. "I believe she deserves special recognition for all that she has accomplished. She truly excelled in three areas - talent, academics, and as a teammate."
Fairchild, a senior-to-be for the Lobo volleyball team, became just the second Lobo to be named to the All-Mountain West Conference team in 2007, following a successful junior season. The graduate of St. Pius X in Albuquerque is the first Lobo to receive all-MWC honors since 2002 when junior outside hitter Anna Reines was named to the all-MWC team. Fairchild finished the season ranked third in the MWC in kills per game (4.63) and fifth in points per game (5.05). She also finished the season in third place on the UNM single season kills list with 477 and 41st in the nation in kills per game. All of this is even more remarkable due to the fact that Fairchild played with a stress fracture in her left foot since late September.
In the classroom, Fairchild has been named to the Dean's List several times and currently holds a 3.68 cumulative grade point average while studying Communications and Journalism.
"So often in sports, the superstars become prima donnas," continued Vaughan. "Jeanne is just the opposite. Watching her interact with her teammates, you'd never know how great a volleyball player she is."
The pledge of $15,000, once fully funded, will generate an award in the first year of $750.00 to a UNM volleyball player with plans to increase the endowment over time.
"This is very exciting for our program and I am very thankful to Doug for his support and his extremely kind gift to support volleyball at UNM," said UNM head volleyball coach Jeff Nelson. "It is a much deserved honor for Jeanne to have a volleyball scholarship endowed in her name. Our entire program is thankful and honored."
The $15,000 is part of an overall $25,000 pledge to UNM Athletics by Vaughan. The remaining $10,000 will help assist the Lobo baseball program's future projects. Vaughan played baseball for the Lobos in the late 1960s and received his degree from UNM in 1970.
An endowment is money invested in perpetuity to provide annual spendable income that becomes a permanent resource for the Athletics Department. Endowments made through the Lobo Legacy program can be designated towards scholarships, coaches' salaries, and meeting other needs within the Athletics Department.
"Doug's generosity provides us with the opportunity to provide invaluable educational access to a deserving member of our volleyball program" said Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs. "We appreciate his leadership and vision for what he and others can do to support Lobo Athletics."
For information on how to create an endowment for the UNM Athletics Department, contact Associate Athletics Director for Development Larry Ryan at (505) 925-5919.

But how the Party leadership berates, belittle, and insults these efforts will only make it worse – while a clear anti-incumbent mood is sweeping the nation that threatens to doom Blanche Lincoln anyway.

Bio-morphological understanding of the developing human mammary glands may clarify some aspects of breast pathology, including cancer. In particular, some epidemiological data suggests that during fetal growth an altered intrauterine hormonal status, especially a change in estrogen status, could predispose to carcinogenesis. In an attempt to achieve new information on early breast growth, a series of developing human breasts have been analyzed, namely: 4 fetal breasts (28–32 weeks of gestational age), 7 infant breasts (7 h to 2 years) and 1 puberal breast (12 years). In addition to the morphological features, we studied the immunohistochemical expression of some markers involved in morphogenesis, such as MIB-1 for cell proliferation, bcl-2 for apoptosis control, CD34 for vasculogenesis, estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors for hormonal profile, and smooth-muscle actin for myoepithelial differentiation. The results were as follows: (a) lobules, absent between 28 weeks and 2 days, were well evident at 2 years of age and at puberty; (b) myoepithelial cells appeared from 28 weeks onward and persisted later with no modification in quantity and distribution; (c) epithelial cell proliferation was constantly low; (d) in all breasts inner epithelial cells showed diffuse bcl-2 positivity, while basal myoepithelial-like cells were generally negative; (e) all breasts were well vascularized with two different patterns: periductal vascularization (PDV) and interductal vascularization (IDV), IDV being always present, whereas PDV was found only in infant breasts; (f) ER and PR were almost absent in fetal and infant breasts, while their expression was high in the epithelial cells of the puberal breast; (g) stromal cells had no hormonal receptors and were heterogeneous for proliferation and bcl-2 expression. Interestingly, two fetal breasts showed high proliferation and high ER expression, respectively, in their epithelial compartment. This could be the expression of an altered hormonal environment in utero, representing a basis for possible subsequent cancer initiation.

Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
Hello everyone.
So I bought a new drum set a couple of days ago. I live in an apartment now and I obviously had to take drum mutes so I bought SP's sound offs as well.
They mute majority of the sound but still not that effective as I thought it would be and I don't really like the feel playing on them, it's just not that fun.
I heard about the existence of Pearl's mesh heads. So it would be nice if someone could tell little bit about them. Are these heads more silent than the sound offs? How is the feel compared to them? I heard they can damage your drum, Is that true?
Thank you very much.
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
I recommended people getting into mesh heads if they have another kit to use them on. Otherwise, you're spending alot of time changing heads if all of a sudden you have a gig at the last minute. But I like the mesh heads. They are pretty silent, probably a bit more bouncy than regular heads, but they do feel better than the sound off pads. They do not damage drums, I don't see how that would happen. A stick hitting the rim accidentally would be alot louder than playing on mesh heads.
I had a Sonor safari kit that I put mesh heads on, and I continued the use of the sound off pads on the cymbals and hi-hats. That was a great practice set. If I wanted it even quieter, I could've dropped a towel in each drum to keep the bottom head from resonating, but I didn't need to do that. I still recommend people getting a Sonor Safari and a set of mesh heads. It's still cheaper than getting a full Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit!
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
I was happy with the rubber pads on toms, used a regular practice pad on the snare (better feel than mesh heads), and ended up with a mesh head on my bass drum.
A half decent e-kit is a lot more enjoyable to own and play than a muffled acoustic set, though.
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
As for your questions- Pearl mesh heads won't damage your drums but they are single-ply and therefore not very durable. They will be quieter than the mutes but the way they feel to you is somewhat subjective (some drummers feel they're too bouncy).
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
Since not wasting money on a "practice kit" seems to be your primary concern this means you would have to switch over the mylar heads for mesh after/ in between gigs correct? (Talk about a PITA).
Otherwise you could buy a second, cheap, piece of crap kit and fit that with mesh heads (but then we've wasted money again haven't we)?
Personally I don't think either of these scenarios is very appealing to any drummer and certainly wouldn't be conducive for practicing at home.
I take your point that yes, e-kits are very expensive for what they do (I also currently use a TD-10) but what price does one put on having an enjoyable/ productive practice at home (albeit with a kit that doesn't live up to your high A-kit standards)??
As for your last point, many drummers (including myself) have used "mid-level" e-kits for gigs. Granted, we're not talking Disneyland gigs (just pubs and clubs) but I used a crappy TD-6 for 5 years with no problems. Does it really sound THAT bad to you? Judge for yourself...
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
Thanks for the replies.
I got the mesh heads. They are defenitely more silent and feels better though I am not so comfortable with the bass drum.
The thought of getting an e-kit ran through my head today but from some research on the internet, a descent e-kit costs more than my whole acoustic kit with mesh heads and sounds offs on the cymbals.
I heard some people say they regretted the dicision of getting an e-kit and selling their acoustic kit, especially if it's a cheap one.
Re: Silent practice - mesh heads or sounds offs?
Don't forget you can always go A2E (ie get triggers with the mesh heads) down the track should the need arise!

I was hoping for some more Wii U news but oh well. Luigi had his spotlight. (They also released a lot of Wii U info in the last Nintendo Direct so that may be why...)
Does Nintendo know they just released a console? I mean no one is buying that so maybe start talking about wii u games?
Good news on all those 3DS games though. Can't wait for Luigi's Mansion
Didn't they just announce Wii U games two weeks ago? Wind Waker HD, Xenonew, Yoshi's Epic Yarn... etc.

The 3DS is really turning into a great machine. I've wanted a new Mario Golf for awhile now, and I didn't play Donkey Kong on the Wii so i'll totally pick that up. So now I guess.... Do i upgrade to a 3DS XL, or is an actual redesign coming soon? Cause if the do a new 3DS that's just a small screen upgrade from the original, but more importantly the quality of the build is much better and the battery is better I think id rather have that.

Man, there's so many good games coming out this year for the 3DS. We already have Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion will be out in a month. Now we're getting both a new Animal Crossing and a new Mario & Luigi in the summer. Year of the 3DS?

I wonder if the new Xbox/PS will continue to spend time and money developing and hyping features that are obviously far better on a laptop or one of 7 other devices most people have handy at this point. Stick to what matters. Luigi is what matters.
3DS looks like it's increasingly becoming worth getting this spring, especially with last year's price drop. Wii U, not so much.

awesome love the Mario and Luigi games, as well as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and hoping we get some info on the Namco produced Super Smash Brothers soon
Oh sweet, Nintendo is making an RPG for the 3DS that isn't for babies. Seriously, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, you could not be more disappointing. You are a disgrace to the memory of Thousand Year Door.

New Leaf getting a set date combined with Fire Emblem: Awakening, Monster Hunter (still incoming), and Luigi's Mansion coming soon made me go out and pick up a 3DS XL today (big hands) and I am loving it and especially loving Fire Emblem.
As a former owner of a launch 3DS, I never would have expected Nintendo to turn around the 3DS since launch as much as they have. It's a really great system at this point. Now if only they would talk to someone about releasing Fantasy Life over here in the States.

I am very pro-Luigi.
Always like Luigi better too. He takes a lot of crap for being a coward and slow, when he is just more cautious (because hey maybe blindly rushing into dangerous situations may not be the best idea) and has a good heart. Whenever Mario has needed help or even rescuing himself, Luigi is always there to help his older brother no matter what.
Here's looking forward to a year of more Luigi games ^^

And many BisonHeroes were happy that they firmly resisted the urge to buy Sticker Star. Now I can redirect that money towards the Mario-based RPG series that Nintendo isn't totally fucking up.
Seriously though, everything I've read and seen makes it seem like they stripped everything remarkable or clever out of Paper Mario, and it's pretty much for babies now.
I always preferred Luigi too, probably something to do with being the younger brother. It's stuff like this that makes me want to buy a 3DS but I just dont see the appeal of playing these games out in the open. And the concept of playing them indoors with a big HDTV in front of me just seems strange.
People always act as though Nintendo is just Mario & Zelda, but it's interesting how they consistently use the early period of a new console to bring back and strengthen old/minor IP. Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Kid Icarus ... all significant little jabs until they have roundhouse titles available in their major fanchises.

The proposed Mendenhall Valley library has its first funding toward planning, permitting and design.
The Friends of Juneau Public Libraries have raised a million dollars toward construction of the new library. The Assembly Monday night approved the initial $225,000 installment.
The Friends group operates the Amazing Bookstore in the Airport Shopping Center and uses proceeds from book sales to enhance library programs and services.
Paul Berans is president of the Friends of the Library Board of Directors.
"How many books does it take to make a million dollars when you sell them at 10 cents a book? Or, with inflation now, 25 cents a book," he said.
In an executive proclamation, Mayor Merrill Sanford recognized the Friends of Public Libraries for exceptional volunteer effort and dedication. Berans says about 50 volunteers a week work at the Friends' bookstore, for anywhere between two and a half hours to 20 hours a week.
Former CBJ Deputy Manager Donna Pierce has been hired to manage the new library project, to be built at Dimond Park next year.
Juneau voters in October approved the use of sales tax revenue for library construction. The total cost of the project is estimated at $14 million and includes state funds.
