John Pizzarelli is a New Jersey guy.
The jazz guitarist and vocalist's signature song is "I Like Jersey Best." Born in Paterson, he grew up in Saddle River and spent much of his youth at family gatherings at his Uncle Pete's home in Clifton.
But, in fact, Pizzarelli likes the Rangers best.
"I was always a Rangers fan. I have New Jersey relatives who call me up when the Devils win," Pizzarelli said with a laugh.
So he is particularly pleased that the Rangers made the Stanley Cup playoffs while the Devils did not qualify for the postseason. It's a far cry from last May.
"Last year, the Devils scored in overtime," Pizzarelli said of Adam Henrique's winning OT goal in Game 6 of the conference finals. "I turned the TV off. My wife asked, 'What's the matter?' I said, 'That's it. It's over. The season's over. We're moving on.' You get so wrapped up in it and it's literally over in a finger snap. It can break your heart."
Pizzarelli is a master showman, as funny as he is talented. Dedicated to keeping the American songbook alive, his albums also include his own distinctive takes on the Beatles and rock classics.
He discovered the Rangers and the NHL in the mid-'60s.
"I remember specifically watching the Rangers and the Canadiens in second grade, so it's got to be 1967," Pizzarelli recalled. "They were on CBS. I had to write a short story about something and the teacher said, 'If you need any help spelling words, I'll help you out.'
"I said I needed to know how to spell Rangers and Canadiens and Montreal. She was thinking, 'Wow, this is going to be quite a story.' The story was actually something like, 'I watched a hockey game last night between the New York Rangers and the Montreal Canadiens.' She thought it was going to be this big story, but I was just so excited that I watched a hockey game for the first time in my life."
His father, legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, was a member of the Tonight Show orchestra when Johnny Carson did the show from New York. Knowing his young son was a hockey fan, he brought home two sticks, a puck and a Rangers sweater.
"It had No. 19. I always liked Jean Ratelle," Pizzarelli pointed out.
Pizzarelli's first Rangers game at the Garden was on April 4, 1971. A friend had season tickets, so they saw the Detroit Red Wings.
"I remember Dale Rolfe sat out that game. He was sitting behind us at the Garden," Pizzarelli said. "My buddy's license plate (now) is DNPCD. Did not play, coach's decision.
"Bob Nevin scored two goals in that game (a 6-0 Rangers win). Every time he got the puck in the third period everybody would go crazy hoping he'd get a hat trick."
Pizzarelli is a passionate Boston Red Sox fan and grew up devoted to the Knicks during the Bradley-DeBusschere-Frazier-Reed era. Although he discovered the Rangers as a second-grader, he credits Joe Cosgriff, who wrote "I Like Jersey Best" and co-authored Pizzarelli's riveting memoir "World On A String" (John Wiley & Sons, 2012), for sharing his Rangers tickets and hockey knowledge.
"I've gone so many times with him in the last couple of years, when I watch basketball and guys run ahead of the ball on a fast break I always think they're offsides," said Pizzarelli, who attended one of Wayne Gretzky's first games with the Rangers.
He watched Game 2 against the Washington Capitals last week on TV in Dayton, Ohio. Pizzarelli and his 15-year-old daughter Madeline, a Carl Hagelin fan, attended Game 3 at the Garden.
"I cried at the beginning when I saw (injured defenseman Marc) Staal. I get so emotionally involved in the whole thing," he said. "The building is so amazing, people screaming their lungs out for this team. There is nothing like it."
On Friday, the John Pizzarelli Quartet will play NJPAC in Newark.
"I'm doing it with Barbara Cook, one of the grande dames of the Broadway stage. We did the show in April at the Boston Symphony Hall, so we're reprising that one here. It's 90 minutes and the two of us will be together on stage for the whole show. She sings, I sing, and we sing some things together. She's fantastic."
Pizzarelli's brother, Martin, is the bass player in the quartet and probably an even bigger Rangers fan.
"I have to keep my brother away from the scores during gigs this time of year," John said. "We did a Broadway show in '97 and the Rangers were in the playoffs. We did a scene right at the beginning where we had to pretend we were frozen in time while other things went on.
"My brother is behind me grunting, 'Whoah!' There was a lighting guy who'd give him the scores from the balcony. You know, 2-1, Rangers winning, thumbs up. Right in the middle of the scene."
With apologies to another New Jersey guy, Frank Sinatra, the Pizzarellis have the Rangers under their skin.

Charlottetown opens nationals with 10-0 victory over British Columbia
The Charlottetown John Brown Grille Fawcetts opened with a convincing 10-0 victory in five innings over Sooke, B.C., Tuesday at the Canadian senior men's fast pitch championship.
The host squad wasted no time, scoring four runs in the first inning to give pitcher Don Scott all the run support he would need.
First baseman Andy Skelton hit a three-run home run in the first inning on a dropball, added a two-run shot on a changeup in third and doubled in the fifth.
"It's nice to get the first at-bats over with and get a few runs on the board in the first inning and kind of set the tempo for the tournament," Skelton said after the game.
Right-fielder Mark John was 2-for-2 with two home runs and three RBIs while shortstop Brandon Horn was 2-for-3 in the leadoff spot. Mark Arsenault and Dustan Jones each had hits while Jeff Ellsworth scored twice.
"We have a great pitching staff in Donnie, Skelly and Mitch, so if we can get some runs early on the board than it's going to make life a whole lot easier throughout the game," Ellsworth said.
Scott was perfect through the first three innings before leadoff hitter Kris Walushka singled up the middle. Scott would get the next three hitters in order, finishing with a one-hitter and four strikeouts. Mitch Hardy allowed a hit in the fifth to close out the game.
Scott Lieph was tagged with seven runs on four hits and three walks through three innings. Aaron Emery allowed three runs on five hits in two innings of relief.
The Fawcetts were able to get a few of its bench players in for their first at-bat or in the field later in the game. Ellsworth said it was a good "team win" for the 17 players.
"Each and every game that we play someone is going to step up and do something special that's going to help the team win," he said.
Skelton said it is important not to get too high after one game.
"It's a long week and a lot of games, so kind of take it one game at a time and hopefully get on a roll and see what happens," he said.
The game took 1:30 to play under warm sun.
The Fawcetts play the defending champion 3 Cheers Pub tonight at 6:30 p.m. while Sooke plays East Hants, N.S., at 7 p.m.

We study the b-completion of the three Friedmann models of the Universe, having as models for 3-space the sphere, the Euclidean space or the hyperbolic space. We show that in the first case there is just one singularity, having the full completion as only neighborhood. In the other two cases there is one essential singularity, which is the limit of all past causal geodesics; again, it has a single neighborhood. This extends results by Bosshard [On the b-boundary of the closed Friendmann Model, Commun. Math. Phys. 46 (1976) 263-268] and Johnson [The bundle boundary in some special cases, J. Math. Phys. 18 (5) (1977) 898-902] on the closed Friedmann model. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

This 10000%
You've got a guy breaking the season 3pt% record, you're jockeying for home court in the first round of the playoffs, you're in a close game but slightly behind, no one is open...except Korver standing behind the 3pt line...and he's got the ball...and he's open...and he's standing there...then he passes it to someone else who isn't open.
Then he does an interview and admits he passed up on those shots because he wanted to break the record. I lost all respect for him at that point.
O rly? What a punk A then. We only had buttface brewer and monkeybrain miles for 3 tho so DerBear got po'd

SEATTLE – Great defense, a hallmark of Oregon State women's basketball this season, turned out to be the reason the Beavers fell a game short of their first conference title.
A stout full-court defense applied from the start of the second half by USC turned an early Oregon State advantage upside-down Sunday night as the fifth-seeded Trojans rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to defeat OSU 71-62 in the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament championship game in front of 4,785 at KeyArena.
The win gives USC (22-12) the Pac-12's automatic berth in the women's NCAA tournament while third-seeded Oregon State (23-10) is left to ponder how things went so badly so quickly.
"Credit USC," said fourth-year OSU coach Scott Rueck. "They punched us in the face to start the second half and gained momentum, and it was hard to get it back."
The Beavers never did. OSU led by 11 late in the first half and by seven at intermission. But the Trojans came out with a full-court trapping defense that rattled OSU. USC scored the first nine points of the half to lead 38-36.
State tied it twice after that and wase down just by two, 48-46, when
Sydney Wiese sank a three-pointer with 11 minutes 40 seconds left to
That was the last field goal the Beavers would hit for nearly nine minutes. When they finally got a layup from Deven Hunter, USC led 63-53 with three minutes to play. OSU, which missed 18 of its first 22 shots of the second half, never pulled closer than five points thereafter.
"The full-court press was obviously the biggest difference," Rueck said. "I thought we came out soft to start the second half. For whatever reason, that is something that's happened to us a few times this year, and they gained momentum right away. They came to fight.
"I thought we did early and I thought we did late, but we didn't during that stretch. That was the key stretch of the game. It gave them confidence. We didn't respond really well on the offensive end to that, which gave them the opportunity to relax. Then shots started falling for them."
Junior guard Ariya Crook, named the tournament's most outstanding player, led USC with16 points, one of four Trojans to finish in double-figures. OSU, with the second-best defensive field-goal percentage in the Pac-12, saw its own shooting percentage drop off to 31 percent after shooting 44 percent in the first half.
Hunter led OSU with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Wiese finished with 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field. She hit just three of nine three-pointers. Ruth Hamblin had 10 points and six blocked shots, one block short of the one-game record she set Saturday night in a semifinal win over Washington State.
"The press was the difference in the game," USC coach Cynthia Cooper said. "We were slow and lethargic and really played Oregon State's pace in the first half.
"In the second half, I decided on all makes we were going to press. We were going to speed the game up. If we're going to lose, we're going to lose with no stone unturned."

Our first stay and a B&B and the bar was set very high. Lynda our inn keeper was very accommodating and genuinely friendly. She greeted us as we arrived and was helpful with suggestions for our stay, not only at the cottage but Ashville. The Dogwood suite was very clean and we were well provided for with soft fluffy towels and robes to crisp sheets and wonderful local soaps. Breakfast was pure deliciousness. We had the best sweet potato casserole topped with crunchy nuts, fluffy quiche, hot turn overs, Hand made granola, fresh yogurt and fruit, local-antibiotic free-from happy pigs- sausage. (I do not eat meat but this was nice to hear) We stayed in the dogwood suite. It has an attached porch with a daybed and trundle perfect if you have kids or if you are staying with a friend.We brought our little dog. so the private entrance and deck was perfect for us.The Inn has a full kitchen that is available for use along with the fridge, microwave and coffee maker in our room. The parking and circle drive made it easy to load and unload our luggage. It was a wonderful experience over all. I am now a Big Fan of B&Bs.

This was an ideal first B&B experience. The staff are friendly and the accommodations are fantastic. A friend and I traveled to Asheville and were thrilled to find the 2 bedroom Dogwood suite with private entrance. Its close proximity to Biltmore Estate, Biltmore Village and downtown Asheville are ideal.

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Rose Room #7 and had a wonderful visit. While not walking distance to town, this didn't bother us since it was a short drive. The breakfast was great! We had quiche, sausage, rolls, fruit, and a berry crumble with yogurt - all delicious! The hosts were excellent and so kind to us. I would definitely recommend staying here.

A friend and I spent New Year's Eve weekend in the Rose Room at Oakland Cottage. It was our first time in the city, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The cottage is lovely and exceeded all of our expectations. The room was quaint; in fact, it was much larger than we expected. Byron and Mary, Becky and Jim were friendly and helpful. The food was delicous, and we thoroughly enjoyed socializing with everyone at breakfast. I highly recommend Oakland Cottage and plan to return as soon as time permits. Thanks to you all for a lovely weekend! Sincerely, Janet

I suppose my mixed reviews are due to having spent other vacations at B&Bs and having different experiences. I liked my room here but was rather put off by a very squeaky bed (mattress) that struck me as being perhaps over-the-hill. There was no soap provided for the shower, which I found odd. And my first breakfast was a bit abstemious, as I had one slim piece of quiche and fruit salad and was informed that the remaining quiche on the buffet was reserved for two other guests.....They seemed to plan their meals conservatively for guests. My dog and I were welcomed with open arms, which was appreciated......The Inn is not located in a scenic neighborhood nor in safe walking distance from downtown, so folks who might like to walk to town should bear that in mind. Next time I'm in town I might spring for a location closer to town and will have to pay a little more.....

My husband and I have been staying at B&Bs for the past few years, and Oakland cottage is the ideal stay for us. We loved the beautiful and interesting home, the food was fabulous every day, and all the service was very professional. By far the greatest impression from our stay was the accommodating innkeeper, Mary. Thoughtful, warm, generous with her time and knowledge, she gave her insight for hiking, biking, restaurants, and even helped out when I messed up on booking my accommodations. We truly got attached to Asheville and Oakland Cottage! Pete & Jen- NJ

Vote for Crowie!
Newton pro Craig Alexander has been chosen as one of the 12 finalists for "Male Athlete of the Year" by the United States Sports Academy. Crowie had a masterful triathlon season, capped off by a repeat victory at the Ironman World Championships. With his win in Kona, Crowie became just the fourth man in history to win back-to-back Ironman titles.
We think Crowie is a shoe-in to win but he's up against some other athletes you might have heard of, guys with names like Kobe, LeBron, Usain, Manny, Roger and Tiger. It's a public voting process so in the immortal words of Al Capone, "vote early and vote often!" Vote here.
The winners will be announced on NBC Sports and USA Today (not sure if there's a prize) but please vote for Craig. He's one of the nicest and hardest working guys in all of sport and he absolutely deserves this honor! Tell your friends!

Bob Myhr asks for recount of ballots for County Council District 6
A slim margin between candidates for the County Council District 6 has prompted Bob Myhr to request a hand recount of ballots cast in that race.
After all votes were counted, Jamie Stephens was ahead of Myhr 877 to 866, a difference of only 11 votes. State law says that an officer of a political party, any person for whom votes were cast at any election or any group of five or more registered voters may file a written application for a recount of the votes or a portion of the votes cast at that election for all candidates for election to that office.
"We have many generous and loyal supporters of our campaign and the election is very close," Myhr said. "The election laws provide for an opportunity to request a recount and so I have done so."
The Canvass Board has scheduled the recount on Nov. 29 at 9 a.m. The recount will take place at the Elections Office, 55 Second St, Suite A, Friday Harbor. The Canvass Board will convene on Nov. 30 at 8:30 a.m. to recertify the election.
Myhr and Stephens last ran against each other in 2005 .
Council terms are for four years and begin Jan. 1. Council members receive $35,000 a year and full benefits. Among other things, they adopt the annual budget, appoint committees, approve laws and set policy. The county administrator, who oversees the daily operations of county government, reports to the council.
Myhr was elected to the old County Commission in 2005 and served as the first council chairman under the county charter established in 2007. He and his wife Joyce have lived on Lopez Island for more than 25 years.
"One of the big differences in this election is that I've expressed where I stand on a variety of issues, and my opponent's statements remain very general," Myhr said in an earlier interview with the Sounder . "I think that's a major difference between the two of us."
Myhr worked as a business and non-profit consultant from 2002-05. Prior to that, he served as executive director of the San Juan Preservation Trust. During his 17-year tenure, he negotiated with property owners to preserve more than 8,750 acres of San Juan County farmland, shoreline and woodlands.
Earlier, Myhr taught political science at the University of Washington and managed an international group at Weyerhaeuser. He was also a Fulbright Scholar, earning his B.A. in economics from Amherst College, an MIA in international affairs and economics, and a Ph.D. in public law and government from Columbia University.
Stephens is property manager for Ledger Investments, LLC. He and his wife Lauren have lived on Lopez Island for 14 years and owned the Edenwild Inn from 2002-05. They have children in college.
In an earlier interview, Stephens said updating the Critical Areas Ordinance would be a priority for him if elected. "Part of the reason I'm running is that I feel that issues like the CAO, which were issues five years ago, have just been kicked down the road," Stephens told The Islands' Sounder. "No one's going to be totally happy when it's put together. It's going to take a stiff back to put something into action that's defensible."

"Full of references to Bollywood movie traditions and local customs, this is a delightful romp with a fresh setting and a distinctive and appealing main character." — Kirkus, starred review
"Krishnaswami perfectly captures movie-star infatuation, best-friendship, geographical displacement, and youthful determination in this exuberant blend of American tween life and Indian village culture." — PW, starred review
ABOUT THE BOOK: Eleven-year old Dini loves movies—watching them, reading about them, trying to write her own—especially Bollywood movies. But when her mother tells her some big news, it does not at all jive with the script of her life she has in mind. Her family is moving to India…and, not even to Bombay, which is the center of the Bollywood universe and home to Dini's all-time most favorite star, Dolly. No, Dini is moving to a teeny, tiny village she can't even find on a map. Swapnagiri. This joyful, lively Bollywood inspired story, full of colorful details, delicious confections and the wondrous, magical powers of coincidence, will have you smiling from ear to ear.
And now, let's talk with the lovely Ms. Uma.
I wasn't overly conscious of trying to interpret India, because I figure my view of anywhere is going to be just that--one view. It's why we need many stories. I did realize that I was picturing a hilly region far from the hot cities, and that some people may find that goes against how they visualize India. Well, if I were to set a story in New Mexico, I imagine there'd be people who might say, "That's in America?" So I figured the best thing to do was to give agency to Dini, my hyphenated character in The Grand Plan to Fix Everything. She sees both India and America through her own Bollywood-tinted lenses, so the reader gets to see it that way too. And if it seems a little fractured and crazy--well, that's pretty much how it is.
Not so much a change but a deepening. Most of the plot and the interactions between subplots were already in place. The big editorial work I needed to do was to deepen the storyline of Dini's and Maddie's friendship, and place Dolly as the glue holding that friendship together. Those things were there, but in many places they were beneath the surface. I had to work to bring them more into the spotlight.
Chak De India
Tare Zamein Par
It supports it in really wonderful ways. I find that when I'm working on student manuscripts and talking to students about craft, I get a break from thinking directly about my own work, but it's there in the back of my mind. And then when I go back to it, I find I'm fresher, and better able to dig in. In part, it's that forced time away from it, but I think there's more it it than that. Maybe the conversations with students (and with my fellow Vermont College of Fine Arts faculty) allow my subconscious to make the necessary connections with my own work. Sometimes, of course, teaching takes up time, and I have to set my own writing aside to give that time. I'll be taking a semester off this fall for that reason, so I can get caught up on projects I want to complete, as well as some that are already under contract.
I'm excited about any new Krishnaswami projects, so I fully support this sabbatical. But I also appreciate your commitment to and example of mentoring and championing other writers. Thank you, Uma, for this beautiful book, and for your consistent excellence in this vocation.

To start, we ordered the parmesan garlic chicken wings.
I must say, I was very pleased with this choice. While Tim disagreed and didn't care for the coating, I thought it was great. The wings were crispy and the skin had a great deal of flavor but underneath was the most flavorful, hot and juicy chicken you could ask for. The chicken wings get a thumbs up from me.
Moving on to the main attraction. I'm assuming you already figured this out, but if you didn't - I ordered the reuben.
All I wanted was the hot, greasy corned beef packed between some rye bread with sauerkraut and russian dressing. Well I got everything I wanted, except for the hot part. That's right folks, it came out cold, which pretty much ruined everything. I was disappointed to say the least, and while the sandwich was decent on its own, I didn't get that experience that I was hoping for.
Don't count it out just yet though. I must say, Irish Times may be the coolest bar/restaurant in Saratoga. The atmosphere is incredible, and I love to go there for drinks and to hang out. I also know people who LOVE the food at this place, so maybe it was just that night, and the food was sitting out too long.
Let me know what you think - comment and tell me about your experiences there!

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Rep. Charles Rangel has shot back at President Barack Obama's recent comment that he "end his career with dignity."
Speaking at a candidate's forum Monday night in New York City, Rangel said the president hasn't "been around long enough to determine what my dignity is."
The 80-year-old congressman said it was more likely he would protect Obama's dignity over the next two years.
A House ethics panel has accused the 20-term Democrat from Harlem of ethics violation charges. Rangel has vowed to fight the charges and is refusing to resign. He says he is focusing on his re-election.
Obama said three weeks ago that he was sure Rangel wanted to "be able to end his career with dignity" and said he hoped it would happen.

We've received numerous reports of lines that spilled out the door and around the building Monday at lunch and dinner for the reopening of Pancho's Mexican Buffet, at its new location on Airline Drive and Labarre Avenue. There's even a memorial page on Facebook for the old Pancho's on Veterans.
Clearly, Panchos passion is running high in metro New Orleans. Tell us: Why do locals go loco for the Mexican buffet?
Is it the Sopapillas? The refried beans? The little flags?

Elections board seeks computers
Director Andrea Carroll requested additional funding to replace the computer server at the Board of Elections at the Seneca County commissioners meeting Tuesday.
She said the board of elections received federal funding in 2005 through the Help America Vote Act to purchase new computers to make the switch from punch cards. Carroll said the computers are the original computers from 2006 and the federal government will not be able to fund new computers.
She said the computers should be in working order for the November election, but they need to be replaced.
Commissioner Fred Zoeller asked if there were any available state funds or other lines in the budget for additional funds, and Carroll said she can look into it.
Zoeller also suggested speaking with other counties to see what avenues they took for funding.
Commissioner Holly Stacy said the Volunteers of America and the board are to have a public hearing regarding funding for a building project at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 15.
She said Volunteers of America is to build a traditional care facility along with a geriatric and psychiatric unit.
At this time, the county acts as a funding conduit for free. Zoeller said some counties charge a fee to act as a conduit and he said Sandusky County-Seneca County-City of Tiffin Port Authority could become the conduit to raise revenue.
Stacy said that they would have to rewrite their policy if they were to charge a fee.
Board President Jeff Wagner said he would like to have the port authority give a presentation to the board on charging a fee.
Wagner said he was appreciative of the Volunteers of America and its commitment to the community.
In public comment, Kevin Carrigan spoke about the Seneca County Cemetery and the private donation to fund new headstones. Headstones to match the rest of the renovated cemetery cost $200 apiece. At a previous commissioners meeting, the board agreed to buy less expensive markers to fulfill the county's responsibility, although no official motion was made.
"A couple of individuals have now blown this way out of proportion," he said. "All of a sudden, these specific individuals think that that you need to have beyond what the law says the county is responsible for providing."
Carrigan said commissioners should give responsibility to the individuals who made the donation to secure funds for headstones in the 45 days the county was given to mark the burial site.
"If we want to have these things, then these specific special interest groups or individuals need to take ownership to make sure things happen," he said. "If they don't want to take ownership, then they have no say in what's going on."
Carrigan also said he was happy the project was being completed.
County Administrator Stacy Wilson said EMS Director Ken Majors found a workers compensation equipment grant that could fund the purchase of an electric lift. The county would have to give up to $15,000 to get the additional $25,000 possible from the grant.
Commissioners are to look further into the details and deadline for application.
Zoeller said repairs are to begin Thursday at the County Services Building. The contractor is to take down the murals and patch areas on the wall that are bubbling.
He also said he is to meet with a masonry contractor to discuss the bottom 3 feet of the wall.
Zoeller also said he wants more people to join his blue-ribbon commission. He said the commission would meet once a month.
"What we're trying to do is get out-of-the-box thinking," he said.
In other business, Stacy said the county would need to fix or replace a maintenance department tractor. She said so far, the maintenance department has spent $2,500 to maintain it. A new tractor would cost $14,573.
Commissioners also approved a request from Nancy Cochran, executive director of the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties, to lower the number of members on its board to 14 from 18.
In other business, the board approved:
A decrease to the permanent appropriation of $1,402,985.46 for the Pavement Resurfacing Fund.
A supplemental appropriation of $12,500 for 2013 General Fund.
An appropriation adjustment of $7,450 within the General Fund.
A supplemental appropriation of $91,770 for the 2013 General Fund.
An appropriation adjustment of $90,000 within the General Fund.
An authorization allowing Wagner to sign the grant application, agreements and all other documents for the Community Development Block Grant FY13 Grant Program.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The UNC Asheville women's tennis team is home today when the Bulldogs host Big South foe Gardner-Webb at the Asheville Racquet Club downtown starting at 2:30 p.m. Admission is free.
The Bulldogs (6-10, 0-3 BSC) are attempting to win their first league match of the year this afternoon. The Runnin' Bulldogs are 11-8 on the season and 3-4 in league play.
Asheville has been hit hard by injuries throughout the season and right now the Bulldogs top four players in their singles line-up are all freshmen.
Jenna Dodge has posted an 8-6 record in singles play this season as a freshmen. Senior Devon Cavanaugh, despite a back injury, has battled and gone 4-2 in singles play this year.
"We're trying to get better with each match," commented Asheville coach Lise Gregory. "Our team is getting a lot of valuable experience which will only help in the future. We're still looking to make some noise this year before the season is over."
UNC Asheville will host the 2012 Big South Conference Tennis Championships the weekend of April 19-21 at both Asheville Racquet Club locations downtown and in South Asheville.

There's nothing like a sunny spring day in Portland. From walking/running/riding along the Willamette River waterfront to enjoying a cold microbrew on the patio, Portlanders know how to soak up every last minute of that glorious sunshine. And they love sharing their sun-drenched images on Instagram.
Below is a lovingly curated selection of photos posted to Instagram around Portland on Wednesday. The images show off the variety of ways Portlanders are basking in the fair weather. And good news on the fair weather front: according to the latest Portland area weather forecast, more sunshine is on the way with high temperatures expected to hover in the high 60s to low 70s through the weekend.

The time is approaching when clocks will need to be set forward an hour and all around Warren County businesses, churches, and other entities are preparing to make some necessary changes.
There are many factors that most people wouldn't even consider when it comes to Daylight Saving Time, which begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 10. For example, church bells, traffic lights, and outdoor clocks must be changed in order for the daily schedules to carry on without confusion.
Those familiar with Warren have most likely heard the bells chime at the First United Methodist Church on Market Street, but how many have thought of them when it comes to springing forward?

Set 'em ahead
The Blair 'New Process' clock will be set forward one hour on Saturday at some point by Mike Smith, a maintenance manager for Blair, in time to be operational on Sunday
Times Observer photo by Brian Collins
The clock on top of the Warren County Courthouse will be set forward an hour early Sunday morning.
Each year, Cathie MacKenzie comes in early on Sunday and changes the timing on the bells. "It's computerized," she said. "I have an instruction manual that I follow and I go in early on that Sunday to make the changes. It's not difficult, but they need to be changed so they don't chime in the middle of the sermon. They are set up to shut off around 10 p.m. and not to chime during the 11 a.m. service on Sunday."
In the City of Warren, it's up to the Department of Public Works to ensure that all the traffic lights, flashing school zone lights and street lights are adjusted so they come on at the right time.
According to DPW Director Mike Holtz, it is Shawn Tutmaher who comes in early on Monday morning to make the necessary changes. "Shawn is our traffic mechanic and he comes in to make the changes. Most of it is done on a centralized panel here at City Hall, except for a few on the far end of the east side that are done individually."
"The panel at the city building is part of a closed loop system," added Susan Roach, a supervisor at PennDOT's district office in Oil City. "A lot of the newer equipment is already pre-set for daylight saving time and the older ones that Shawn has to adjust manually are just older pieces of equipment."
In addition, a couple of the notable clocks around the area that require adjusting are the Blair 'New Process' clock, which is handled by Todd Fitch, and the clock on the Warren County Courthouse, maintained by Ron Farnham and his maintenance crew.
"The clock will be off at some time on Saturday," said Fitch. "Mike Smith, a maintenance manager, will come in and set it Sunday morning so it will be operational with the new time. The new system that we are putting in this year will do all that automatically."
So, while the city prepares to spring ahead, don't forget to change your clocks Saturday night.

Minoxidil was first used exclusively as an oral drug (trade name Loniten) to treat high blood pressure. It was, however, discovered to have an interesting side-effect. Minoxidil may cause increased growth or darkening of fine body hairs
One study in healthy males aged 18–50 years with androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness) found that compared to a baseline of 103 to 106 hairs/cm2, those who applied a 5% solution of minoxidil for 32 weeks increased their non-vellus hair counts by an average of 39 hairs/cm2, in contrast to 5 hairs/cm2 in subjects who received a placebo.
Minoxil is uslually delivered in a topical gel or foam and applied directly to those areas affected by hair loss.
After reading a lot of hair loss forums and minoxil reviews, it is apparent that an accumulation of approximately 100 new hairs would be considered a success. Usually after minoxil treatment ceases, the new hairs gained are lost anyway.
Tocotrienol, a form of vitamin E, is a potent anti-oxidant and has been found useful in combating many health problems.
Although it has not been thoroughly studied, some promising research has highlighted how Vitamin E may be beneficial in hair regrowth and hair loss cessation.
In 2007, Harada et al. tested the hair growth response to oral capsaicin and isoflavone supplementation in humans.
As IGF-I is produced in the dermal papilla (group of cells that form the structure directly below the hair follicle), it may stimulate proliferation and follicle growth. Both capsaicin and the phytoestrogen isoflavone increase follicle IGF-I. The human part of the study used 48 subjects: 34 with androgenic alopecia (19 males, 15 females), 13 with alopecial totalis (6 males, 6 females), and 1 with alopecia areata (1 female). Some subjects received 6mg of capsaicin and 75mg isoflavone per day for 5 months, while others received a placebo. In all of the subjects receiving the capsaicin + isoflavone, serum IGF-I was increased after 5 months. 64.5% overall showed regrowth, while it was effective in 88% of subjects with androgenic alopecia.
Saw Palmetto is an over the counter (OTC) supplement which has shown promise in reducing systemic DHT and has been used in the treatment of benign prostate hypotrophy (BPH) for a number of years.
Nizoral shampoos active ingredient is ketoconazole which is marketed as an anti-fungal and dandruff treatment. It is thought to displace DHT from receptors in your scalp, BUT also selectively displaces steroidal nuclei (read: DHT, test, estradiol, etc) from SHBGs (8). With that considered (in the context of our proposed pathology of hair loss) Nizoral is an excellent tool. Not only has it been shown to inhibit DHT in the scalp, BUT also estradiol - the likely bigger culprit as we have learned.
Remember it's probable that hair loss follows that of prostate pathology? It is the interaction of SHGB, estrogen and IGF-1 that increases DHT receptors in the scalp.
IF we have to choose which one to inhibit, estrogen is the easiest and least risky (and far less anti-anabolic) than reducing DHT. Reducing e2 too much does have its own set of risks also; your overall health and libido can suffer (as well as your joints). The key is managing your estrogen to keep it in the low normal range (or the lower end of normal).
There can be no hard and fast rules here, each person will react differently to the reduction of estrogen, so with any aromatase inhibitor start on the lower end of the recommended dose and increase or decrease as necessary.
Here some over the counter options available in Australia:
Brassaiopsis glumerulata is the ingredient which provides this product with oomph. The scientific data that we currently have available, suggests that this particular shrub (extracts found there in) is a potent aromatise inhibitor.
Arimedex HD contains the following ingredient which is of importance:
(3s, 4s)-4-[(3, 4- dimethoxyphenyl)methyl] -3-hydroxy-3-[[3-methoxy-4- [(2s,3r, 4s,5r,6r) -3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl) oxan-2-yl]oxy-phenyl]methyl] oxolan-2-one.
This is simply the seeds of the safflower – scientific name Carthamus tinctorius. Safflower seeds contain a lignan that blocks the effect of estradiol. The compound that does this is tracheloside. The substance itself does nothing to estradiol-sensitive cells, but reduces the effect of the hormone. The more tracheloside, the less effect the estradiol has.
Resveratrol is a well known compound originally identified in red wine. It is well known by many specifically for its properties on anti-aging. Recent data though has turned our eyes towards its potential to both decrease estrogen and enhance testosterone levels. It may do this in two ways. First, it may be a potent anti-aromatise, meaning it may actually help to block the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. In studies, resveratrol has been shown to repress the transcription of genes that encode for aromatise. At the same time, it is both a competitive and non-competitive inhibitor of aromatise with potent properties. It is also a natural estrogen blocker – potentially binding to the receptors and inhibiting its activity.
Mangosteen extract
Fish oil
Grapeseed extract
Ok, so we have learnt that to reduce, reverse or regrow your hair you have a number of different options. We can inhibit DHT systemically though over the counter DHT inhibitors, or topically with Nizoral (preferred). We can reduce estrogen or try other, lesser known substances.
So what would the stacking deck look like for the bodybuilding individual?
Nizoral will displace DHT at the scalp (where it is most effective) – as well as estrogen! This leaves our serum DHT largely untouched (good), and reduced estrogen which could be used to create more DHT receptors. (8)
This supplement / vitamin E has a host of benefits, the fact it has shown some promise in the regrowth of hair (without DHT disruption) makes it a worthy addition.
This product is an effective AI. It will probably be unlikely that you'll be able to afford to run this everyday of your life (we wouldn't recommend this anyway), but if you run it periodically it will certainly be of assistance).
This vitamin is being shown to do more and more things. The fact that it has anti oestrogen properties means it is an invaluable addition to this stack (or any bodybuilding stack for that matter).
Estrogen receptors are located on the surface of virtually every type of tissue in the human body. I3C has been show to be an effective estrogen channelling agent. This means that it will reduce results in less toxic oestrogen metabolites in the circulation. Although this might not be strong enough to result in long term reduction of serum e2, this is a product which could probably be used everyday of your life without complications.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - WVNN radio host Dale Jackson is alleging that Calhoun Community College fired a tenured criminal justice instructor in 2010 to make room on the faculty for Huntsville City Councilman Will Culver.
During the public comment portion of Thursday night's council meeting, Jackson said people he trusts have told him Calhoun officials wanted Culver on staff to help push through the college's Madison County expansion plans.
Jackson said Culver became an "outspoken advocate" for a larger Calhoun campus in Huntsville, even traveling to Montgomery for State Board of Education meetings on the topic.
Culver, who is no longer employed at Calhoun, vehemently denied the allegations and said he intends to consult a lawyer. The second-term councilman briefly spoke to reporters before leaving the meeting early.
"I'm saddened by the inaccuracy of the information that's being disseminated," said Culver. "All those things that are being alleged did not happen."
Jackson said Culver, a former Huntsville police officer elected to the council in 2008, was hired at Calhoun in the summer of 2010 on the recommendation of then- social sciences dean Kenny Anderson. Anderson is now director of multicultural affairs for the city.
Calhoun officials fired Jeff Mosley, a tenured criminal justice instructor with "excellent" personnel evaluations, to make way for Culver, said Jackson. Mosley attended Thursday's council meeting but did not speak.
Jackson asked for more than the usual three minutes at the microphone, but Culver objected and the rest of the council ultimately said no. The conservative talk radio host said he intends to make Culver a regular topic on his morning show, "The Attack Machine."
"I have three hours a day where I'll have this conversation over the next few weeks," he told reporters after the meeting.
Jackson said he chose to confront Culver in a public setting because the councilman would not answer his e-mails regarding Mosley. "The simple fact of the matter is, he wouldn't talk to me."
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said after the meeting that Anderson's friendship with Culver had nothing to do with his hiring this spring as city multicultural affairs director.
Battle said Anderson was one of three finalists for the job recommended by a committee that included City Administrator Rex Reynolds. The mayor said Culver played no role in the selection process and seemed unaware that Anderson was even a candidate.

Some of us may take a foot off the gas pedal and coast a little more. Others may combine errands to save a little gas. Some may even stop driving and start using mass transportation.
One way or another, the recent spike in gas prices will affect all of us who use the road. Jersey Journal reporters are seeing stations as high as $3.39 per gallon for regular gas. The lowest we found was $3.24 a gallon.
Even the gas stations along a stretch of Route 1&9 in Jersey City just south of North Bergen have joined the crowd. Savvy gas shoppers could usually find the best bargains there, but now their prices are as high as everyone else.
Turmoil in Libya has been blamed for the recent hike, even though the country produces a small percentage of the world's oil.

First of all make sure you are using fixed point operations and your dictionary and language models are small enough.
How do I make it fast?
The default settings are not enough to achieve sub-realtime performance on most tasks. Here are some command-line flags you should experiment with:
This is the dsratio. In most cases -ds 2 gives the best performance, though accuracy suffers a bit. (Frame GMM computation downsampling ratio) Thus lower should be better and higher should be less accurate.
The default value is 4, the fastest value is 2, but accuracy can suffer a bit depending on your acoustic model.
This beam is quite important for performance, however the default setting is pretty narrow already. Run pocketsphinx_batch with no arguments to see what it is.
Likewise here as with
-lpbeam. If you are finding it hard to get enough accuracy, you can widen these beams.
This can be set quite low and still give you reasonable performance - try 5.
Depending on the acoustic and language model this can be very helpful. Try 3000.
If you are using the models provided with PocketSphinx (model/hmm/6k), pass the kdtrees file included with them using this argument. You could also make your own kd-trees with the mk_s3gau and kdtree programs in SphinxTrain.
You can play around with this. Values from 1 to 10 are possible with the default kdtrees file. Higher values use more memory. Values between 5 and 7 seem to work well for some reason.
Tuning this might help too. Try 16 and go up or down to see how speed and accuracy are affected. Too low and both will suffer, too high and it won't make a difference.
Phonetic lookahead is a specific technique which is used to speedup decoding by reducing the amount of computation. Basically everything is decoded with phonetic decoder first and then detailed search is restricted by the results of the fast phonetic search. It's also called "Fast match". For details and evaluations see the chapter "4.5 Phonetic Fast Match" in Efficient Algorithms for Speech Recognition Mosur K. Ravishankar
pl_window specifies lookahead distance in frames. Typical values are from 0 (don't use lookahead) to 10 (decode 10 frames ahead). Bigger values give faster decoding but reduced accuracy.

Syracuse and Georgetown fans will have plenty to say about each other on the radio airwaves, on the message boards, and in the comments sections before Saturday's 4 p.m. tip off.
The media will have plenty to say about the game as Syracuse and Georgetown will square off one last time as Big East foes at the Carrier Dome.
Jim Boeheim and John Thompson III will have plenty of opportunities in front of the microphones to tell us what they think.
Here is what the Syracuse players had to say to me about all aspects of the game.
Brandon Triche
On what advice he would give to his younger teammates on handling the hype surrounding the game:
"Do everything you normally do, but it is going to hype you up because there will be so many people there, so many people before the game even starts. People camping out beforehand just to get tickets. It is an incredible experience. My advice is just to take it all in."
Michael Carter-Williams
On trying to control emotions with such a big crowd on hand at the Carrier Dome:
"I'm excited for it and my teammates are excited for it. We are going to play hard and hopefully come out with the win. I'll try to keep us level-headed and not get too high on ourselves. It is natural to be excited for it, but I want everyone to just play like they play. Don't do anything out of the ordinary just because there will be so many people there. And I know that is what coach wants as well."
On what he thinks of the match up:
"They have good guards. Otto Porter is a great player. He plays hard, attacks the glass. We have to get on him and force him to do some things he is not used to doing."
C.J. Fair
On this is why you come to Syracuse. To play in games like this:
"Everyone wants to play on the big stage and this is going to be a big stage on Saturday. There are going to be a lot of fans supporting us. We just want to come out here and please the fans and get the win."
On how he thinks the game will go:
"In the past they have been really good against our zone and they are a good, physical team. It is going to be a good match up. We have the upper hand. If we play like we did today (against Providence) we should be fine. But it is going to be a tough, tough game."
Jerami Grant
On his first experience in the Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry:
"It should be a great experience to come in and play before a crowd like that against our biggest rival. We just want to come in and play as well as we can and get the win.
On if his team will try to use the extra adrenaline as fuel or try to remain calm:
I feel like we need to use it as fuel, but a lot of us are even-keeled. We'll be fine. I feel like we are going to play well."
Rakeem Christmas
"It's going to be an aggressive, physical game. There's a lot of history there. This is going to be the last time we play them here. There's going to be a big crowd. I think everyone is excited. I am just going to go out and play hard and have fun."
James Southerland
On being part of the two biggest on-campus crowds in college basketball history:
"It is just great to be apart of the largest on-campus crowd for a second time. It feels great. This time I'll be in the game, I wasn't in the game against Villanova (in 2009). It has been a great rivalry. This is the last one here, hopefully not forever, but it will be in the Big East against Georgetown."
On Georgetown:
"They know what each of us can do. They know I'm the shooter. They know what Brandon can do, what Mike (Michael Carter-Williams) can do. This is what we prepare for here. These big games. We just have to make sure we know what we are doing on defense. If we communicate and hit the boards, things will go a lot easier for us."
Trevor Cooney
On the crowd that will be on hand for the game:
"I'm excited. We all are. It is a big rivalry. You expect nothing less than 35,000 for a game like that. We just want to come out and put on a good show for the fans."
Baye Moussa Keita
On the big crowd:
"It means a lot because the fans are what make the building rock. They always help us play harder."

Key Skill: Stay Dry
When you're far from anywhere, rangers won't come to the rescue if you succumb to hypothermia. Follow these steps to keep comfortable—and safe.
» Pretrip, make sure your tent's guylines are plenty long and attached securely. When pitching your tent, point the low end into the wind and stake it out immediately, so your shelter can't blow away.
» Once the tent's up, place gear against the windward wall to temper gusts. When breaking camp, first pull downwind stakes.
» You may need to wear a shell when you're working hard in cold rain, or in fluctuating temps that make it difficult to avoid perspiring—and getting wet inside. Adjust layers under your shell and moderate your walking pace to stay warm without overheating—speed up when chilled, and slow down or pause intermittently if you start sweating.
» Cold wind is extremely draining. Drink and snack frequently—especially foods high in fat, like salami—to keep warm and energized.
» Put key gear—extra clothes, your sleeping bag—inside waterproof stuffsacks. Fit your pack's rain cover tightly to prevent it from blowing away.
» If your shells or baselayer get damp from rain or sweat, wear them in camp to dry them out for the next day. Pull the damp baselayer on over a dry layer, so you don't get cold; then don a layer of insulation under your damp rainshell.

Tulane kicker Cairo Santos is one of the top kickers available in the 2014 NFL draft, along with Rice's Chris Boswell and Texas' Anthony Fera. Here are some stories written over the past few months on the trio.
Santos went to Jacksonville, Florida, as a foreign-exchange student for high school from Brazil. The Florida Times-Union/Jacksonville.com wrote about Santos before he headed to the NFL Combine this winter.
Here is some video footage from the NFL combine of Boswell talking to the media.
The Houston Chronicle talked about Santos and Boswell facing each other in a regular season game this fall in this story.
Texas kicker Anthony Fera transferred to Texas from Penn State after his mother fell ill. Here's a story from Pennlive.com about the move and the fans' reaction to it.

Were it not for the ledges, the Tennessee Valley lakes would be just also rans for the title of America's greatest bass fisheries.
With the ledges, however, they become just about unbeatable for year-around production of big bass in big numbers. The ledges and the lip of the deeper water, the area where the depth changes rapidly, providing vast feeding areas heavy with endless schools of bait, quick change in available temperatures for comfort and improved oxygen levels, and plenty of cover thanks to the vast hydrilla fields that grow as deep as 10 feet.
In fact, the problem with ledge fishing on the TVA lakes is mostly that there are too many miles of potentially good spots--it's very difficult to sort them out without the advice of a good local guide, or without spending many weeks on the water. Pretty much anywhere there's a drop from 8 feet down to 14 feet is "in the zone", part of the preferred range where the fish may gather in big numbers most anytime except during the heart of the spawning season, now just behind us on most of the lakes.
Sorting out the needles in the haystacks separates the men from the boys--and the tournament winners from losers--but pro's like Captain Mike Gerry and Captain Mike Carter have a few tips for the rest of us.
"The points of a ledge will often be productive spots," says Gerry. "Where the water splits and goes around a shallow point on two sides, the current will often wash away the mud to bare shell and rock--those spots often produce fish."
Gerry says the same thing occurs where there's a sharp bend in a ledge; anything that causes the current to scoop away the mud and reveal shell or rock is likely to hold fish. He advises anglers who want to find fish on their own to spend a full day or two simply running and watching their graph as they plug in waypoints of possible structure that should hold fish--doing your homework is vital, he says.
And Carter says it's not only about structure, but also about current.
"You can go to a spot that's loaded with fish on a day when there's no current running and you won't catch a fish--but go back there an hour later when the water is moving fast and you may load up on big ones," says Carter.
And both guides agree that where ever you fish a ledge, you've got to get down to where the fish are to connect.
This means football head jigs or Carolina Rigs of ¾ to 1 ounce are always a good bet, as are heavy wobble jigs like the Scrounger (a favorite of Mike Carter in ¾ ounce), heavy rattle baits like the 1 ounce Rat-L-Trap, and deep diving crankbaits like the Strike King 5XD and 6XD along with the larger Bomber and SPRO DD models.
"The lure should be down where it's making at least occasional contact with the grass or with the shell," says Carter. "If it's not, you're not going to get many bites."
Ledge fishing gets right from early May onward, and continues until late October at least. There's a fall push of fish to the shallows, then they return to deeper water for the cold weather before again heading shallow in March and April for the spawn.

Four-day Creation 2010 runs through Saturday at Expo Center
Today is C-Day in Enumclaw – that's a capital C, as in Creation 2010.
The huge Christian concert – which will occupy the entire Enumclaw Expo Center grounds today, Wednesday, through Saturday – will result in an additional 14,000 to 15,000 people in town each day.
Creation puts on two shows per year, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. After a dozen years at the Gorge Amphitheatre, Creation management shifted its operation to the Expo Center.
Organizers appreciate the easy access from points north and south, counting on improved single-day ticket sales.
Creation annual offers some of the top names in contemporary Christian music on its main stage; in addition, there will be a kid stage, worship stage and late-night stage. In addition to the headline acts, there will be opportunities for lesser-known bands to play. Organizers attempt to keep attendees entertained or spiritually motivated from morning until late at night.
The event is unlike anything Enumclaw has experienced for more than a decade. The event has been in the planning stages for seven months and has heavy involvement with the city of Enumclaw. While local roads are expected to be crowded at times, so are city grocery stores, restaurants and gas stations.

Oil and gas in the UK: investment opportunities
1. Overview
Oil and gas is the UK's largest industrial sector. 42 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) have been produced from the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and 23 billion boe could still be produced.
The UK is a global centre for expertise in the oil and gas industry. It offers a number of opportunities for overseas companies and investors.
2. Upstream sector opportunities
The upstream sector consists of the exploration, production and distribution of crude oil and gas products. The sector employs 375,000 people across the UK. Companies include BP, Shell and Marathon.
There's been over £270 billion of investment in the UK to explore and develop fields since North Sea upstream production began. UK companies offer the worldwide industry all the benefits of upstream experience that has been hard won in 40 years operating in the UKCS.
Investment opportunities in upstream include:
- field development
- subsea technology
- operations and maintenance
3. Downstream sector opportunities
Downstream consists of the onshore refining, processing, blending and distribution of finished petroleum products. These products are sold in to the sectors which produce:
- fuels
- oils
- lubricants
- chemicals
The sector employs 100,000 people across the UK and companies include ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Ineos and Careless. The major onshore fuel distribution networks are owned by the UK government and by companies such as BP, Shell and Valero.
4. Decommissioning opportunities
As North Sea fields mature, old infrastructure has built up creating decommissioning requirements.
Government legislation requires that:
- all surface and sub-sea equipment and materials must removed
- wells must be plugged and capped
In addition the following needs to be decommissioned by 2040 and has a value of around £30 billion:
- 475 installations
- 5,000 subsea wells
- 10,000km of pipeline
This means there are new investment opportunities being created in:
- large-scale engineering
- sub-sea
- safety management
- decontamination
- well plugging
5. Shale gas opportunities
The British Geological Survey has identified shale gas resource in the:
- Bowland-Hodder Shale in northern England
- Midland Valley in Scotland
- Weald Basin in southern England
The government believes that shale gas has the potential to provide the UK with greater energy security, growth and jobs. We are encouraging safe and sound exploration to determine this potential.
6. Locations
There are different locations across the UK known as Enterprise Zones that offer investors incentives to locate themselves there including:
- reduced taxes
- simpler planning rules
- financial benefits
Many Enterprise Zones have employment clusters, where businesses from the same sector are located in the same zones.
7. Help from government
The UK government is supporting the development of oil and gas as part of the Oil and Gas Industrial Strategy published in March 2013.
8. Contact Department for International Trade (DIT) for help
DIT can provide overseas companies and investors with more information about opportunities in the UK's oil and gas market.
Enquiries for overseas companies looking to set up in the UK

Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro made an impassioned plea for more money before the New Orleans City Council on Tuesday, saying he'll otherwise face a shortfall of $1.2 million that could force a salary freeze for prosecutors and cutbacks in diversion and witness-assistance programs. Cannizzaro, the latest player in the criminal justice system to bring hat in hand to City Hall, challenged council members to put more funding behind their push to tackle violent crime in the city.
"We have reached a point in my office where there is no more fat to cut. No more grant funding to maintain. No more additional revenue to generate," he said.
The proposed budget maintains city financing for his office at $6.2 million, the same as this year, making up the largest chunk of a $14 million total budget. But Cannizzaro said his office will lose $811,000 in federal grant money next year, and the city is forcing it to eat $344,000 in health insurance premiums.
A pay freeze on prosecutors would only hasten a steady exodus of low-paid lawyers from the office, said Cannizzaro, who estimated that two-thirds of his 88 assistant district attorneys have three years or less in experience.
"On almost a monthly basis, I am losing ADAs to surrounding jurisdictions because they pay them more and demand less work," he said. "Our effectiveness in court will suffer if I am required every year to field a brand-new team."
Records show that more than 50 prosecutors have left the office since Cannizzaro took office in early 2009. The state covers their base $45,000 salary, with the office picking up any raises. Annual salaries for the prosecutors range from $45,000 for beginners to $149,000 for first Assistant District Attorney Graymond Martin.
Cannizzaro also argued to the council that his office takes on a heavier workload than his predecessors did, citing a 31 percent increase in accepted cases over 2008, a 65 percent increase in total convictions and a 211 percent rise in convictions for violent crimes. On a screen, Cannizzaro flashed the mug shots of some notable recent convicts -- Telly Hankton, Darrill Henry, Damien Jordan -- to bolster his case.
He also showed an in-house survey of nine parishes that indicates Orleans Parish ranks at or near the bottom in local district attorney financing by several measures, including per murder and as a percentage of the general fund.
Council members expressed dismay at the tight budget, but they made no commitment to boost it.
"You've got to go back and take a really hard look at what you can't live without," said Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell.
Cannizzaro also tossed praise at a favorite sparring partner, Criminal District Judge Laurie White, for conducting more than 50 jury trials this year.
In January, the DA rankled the 12 criminal district court judges by calling for them to work harder and reach 600 jury trials for the year.
He later singled out White, claiming she spent the fewest days on the bench. That set off a bitter exchange, with White accusing Cannizzaro of goosing his trial numbers while he was a judge through "pick and pleas," in which juries are empaneled despite deals being in place.
"Clearly Judge White has worked hard this year, and she has proven that the goal of 600 jury trials can be accomplished," Cannizzaro said. "I hope all of the judges follow her lead in 2012."
Responded White: "I have nothing to say. I'm just doing my job."

On 23 February the completely renovated Jewish Historical
Museum was opened. This is precisely 75 years after the museum's
foundation in 1932. With the opening of the Print Room and
Auditorium, designed by UNStudio, and the new permanent exhibition
on the Jews of the Netherlands in the twentieth century, the
renovation of the museum is at last complete. To mark the occasion
the museum presents a two photographic exhibitions of work by

In the galleries of the New Synagogue the history of the Jews in the Netherlands in the twentieth century is brought to life in a modern presentation designed by KOSSMANN.DEJONG exhibition architects. The main developments of the period are portrayed in three periods - the prewar years, the Second World War and the period from the postwar era to the present day -using large mural projections, historical film material and personal stories on touch screens, alongside an original presentation of typical contemporary objects.
This exhibition continues the presentation on the Great Synagogue galleries covering the period from 1600 to 1900. It brings into fulfilment the museum's ambition to present the history of the Jews of the Netherlands from their first arrival to modern times.
In addition, the Jewish Historical Museum has built an extra floor in the New Synagogue, which houses the Print Room and Auditorium. The Print Room is designed to be able to display delicate works of art. The Auditorium is used for film shows and other events on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The museum recently unveiled the new Children's Museum, following the opening of the renovated Great Synagogue, the exhibition space, the Museum café, the Museum shop and the new entrance.
The opening of the now completely renovated Jewish Historical Museum coincides with the 75th anniversary of the opening of the original Jewish Historical Museum at the Weigh House on Nieuwmarkt on 24 February 1932 by Emanuel Boekman, head of Amsterdam City Council's art department.

Vote Sequim in Best in Washington
Locals are encouraged to be hometown party-line voters for Sequim in KING-5's "Evening Magazine" Best of Western Washington contest.
As previously reported, That Takes the Cake is in serious contention to win the "cake" category and so are many other Sequim businesses in their respective categories.
Maggie Parks of Maggie May's Espresso & Outfitters said she was convinced by Sue Boucher, owner of That Takes the Cake, to sign up and she's seen her ranking in best "food trucks" go up as high as second place.
Last year, nearly 550,000 votes were counted from more than 142,000 voters for 230 winners out of 20,896 nominees.
A few of the many local businesses vying include Dockside Grill for "Seafood," Oak Table "Brunch," 7 Cedars Casino "Casino," The Cedars at Dungeness "Golf Course," Andee Clancy for wedding "Officiant," Julie Lawrence Studios wedding "Photographer," and the Cutting Garden and Fern Hollow for wedding "venue."
Readers can vote by 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18 at best.king5.com. There they search "Sequim" and vote. Registration required.
"Ideally this is going to put us on the map," Parks said. "It's huge for Sequim. We count on tourism season to get these local businesses by. And being the first food truck in Sequim, beating out a ton of food trucks that have been established for years, is amazing."
Parks said if she were to win she'd want to throw a party of some sort to thank voters.
If selected, businesses are featured through KING-5's resources and have the possibility for a feature on TV. For more information, visit http://best.king5.com.
