Great pizza with a wonderful atmoshpere. The wait staff is very nice and friendly.
Pizza Pizza Pizza and a Happy Hour To Beat All Happy Hours – I have been coming to Amalfi's since the 70's. It's our "go-to" Happy Hour. It's the only pizza my kids will eat in Portland. The new patio is the perfect summer hang out. I can't say enough about the servers....so kind. They remember our favorites...I just cannot say enough about the service and there is no big turn-over in staff which speaks volumes.
Excellent food, service, and Italian atmosphere! Prices are accurate for portion and quality.
The restaurant is great and they had the best pepperoni pizza in all Portland until they changed their pepperoni. Doesn't have any flavor!
Favorite Standby – Voted best happy hour of 2011?!? Why, yes! But then again, I have known that for YEARS :)
Amalfi's has been a favorite place to meet co-workers for cocktails, share a pizza with family, or to catch up with friends over happy hour eats and wine.
The staff is awesome, and I love how they know my favorite cocktail and (high maintenance) pizza order. The happy hour options are tasty and super affordable, and there are a lot of choices. Their pizza is great, they have a great selection of wine, and it's such a neighborhood favorite that everyone always seems to run into someone they know.
Just writing this review is making me crave some pizza and a Cowboy Cassidy...even though I was just there two days ago :)
Great pizza! – Amalfi's is, by far, our favorite restaurant. We love the pizza, the drinks, and the happy hour menu. The staff are very friendly and the service is fantastic.
Great service and atmosphere – We went here for the first time for our daughters birthday.The food was excellent and the service was awesome,would highly recommend going here!
Fabulous Happy Hour!! – Went to Amalfi's the other night with some gals for happy hour. Get there early this place fills up fast!! And for good reason. They have a great happy hour menu and some interesting and tasty drinks!
All of the food was great and the atmosphere perfect. I will be back with my hubby for dinner for sure!
Best happy hour ever!
Have had the best experiences here, pod is delicious, and staff is amazing!
Perfect Group Spot – This has been a neighborhood favorite for years, and has become a city favorite as well. It is so popular sometimes there is a little wait, but you can be sure it is well worth it. I have been coming here for over 40 years, and love it even more now than I did as a kid. The food is always wonderful and I always find a wonderful wine to try. This has become the meeting spot for Grade School friends, and High School friends alike. We love it here and it is always our first choice of where to go, especially for pizza. Can't wait to go back in a couple weeks to meet the friends for some Christmas Cheer!

December 10 is international human rights day: FoEI remembers environmental activists
Friends of the Earth International marks December 10 – the international day for human rights – by reflecting on the sacrifices and victories of environmental activists around the world. Human rights abuses perpetrated against environmental activists have gained more and more attention in recent times.
Global demand for ever diminishing levels of natural resources has caused increased competition among transnational corporations (TNCs), which often leads to irreparable social and environmental damage and to brutal responses to protests, including the criminalization of environmental and human rights defenders.
This year alone, Friends of the Earth groups have been among the targets of human rights abuses. Friends of the Earth groups in the Phillippines, Uganda, Swaziland, Mozambique, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, among others, have been the targets of transnational corporations or government harassment, intimidation or arbitrary arrest.
There can be no doubt as to the legitimacy of the right to protest, to peacefully protect your community and to voice concerns about international projects that impact your way of life, culture or family. Most of the cases that Friends of the Earth International has handled in 2012 have been related to protests around the extractive industries; particularly dams, mines and plantations (land grabbing has been a common cause of protest that has often been met with an unlawful, inhumane response).
The severity of this situation has recently become clearer thanks to the committed work of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders. Friends of the Earth advocates for justice for those affected and works to raise awareness with the support of the European Union.
When we talk about violations committed against environmental activists, we refer to individuals or groups who are victims of human rights violations because of their involvement in environmental activism, including all people opposed to destructive projects in the extractive, infrastructure and development sector; the rights of indigenous communities and minorities; the rights of women, communicators, lawyers, academics; or simply those who defend their own rights to protect their sustainable livelihoods, such as artisanal fisherfolk. When we talk about environmental defenders we include individuals who do not necessarily identify themselves as environmental justice activists, but who through their actions are defending environmental justice or defending people affected by environmental injustices, whether at community, national, regional or international level.
Why is this happening?
Defenders have often been targeted for their resistance to policies or regulations that move power away from the local level and concentrate control over land and resources in the hands of elites and transnational groups. TNCs investment expansion, combined with weak state-level human rights institutions have led to an increase in land grabbing, resource appropriation and attempts to privatize community managed assets. Activists and journalists responding to these issues have suffered unlawful detention, threats, harassment and break-ins. Murders and disappearances are also alarmingly common. The Global Witness report A Hidden Crisis says that there was one death per week on average in the decade to 2012 . The perpetrators of these abuses regularly operate on behalf of national governments or transnational companies. Private and public security forces are increasingly involved in harassing or harming activists, and increasingly heavily armed.
Information on these abuses is too sparse to say whether or not this trend is worsening. The Global Witness report A Hidden Crisis says that there was one death per week on average in the decade to 2012 . Reporting mechanisms have become more sophisticated and rights awareness has grown in much of the world, but understanding what is happening is still problematic. The scale of this issue is largely invisible as global monitoring remains very difficult: the relatively small numbers of incidents reported in Africa and Central Asia, for instance, is telling. Local, municipal, regional and even national governments have rewritten laws to give legitimacy to their heinous rights violations, providing legal cover for rights abuses.
Friends of the Earth member groups are continuing their work on this issue. Please check back regularly to see how you can spread the word and offer support.

Clean with soap and water, let dry.
We bought wall decals for my daughters room and stuck them to a piece of glass when we moved. Now I have put them on her new walls but they keep falling off. I know they claim to be re-usable, but I don't know if their is a way to get them to stick better or if I just need to buy new ones. Any advice?

Decals and stickers prefer very smooth surface, like the glass. They are not so happy on a textured surface like your walls.
I have forgotten what it is called, but a crafts store should have a certain glue or paste that will hold something in place without being permanent. That is how layout editors used to prepare camera-ready artwork. Or, you might use some double-sided tape.

Rated 5 out of 5 by maxine1sky Great Place Love the location and convenience of this property. Rooms are updated and comfy and close to LAX, Beverly Hills, Beach areas. 2014年3月30日
Rated 5 out of 5 by washington52 Wonderful My stay at the Four Points was excellent. I enjoyed my room, the view, the service, and the atmosphere. I will be back and I know I'll have the same great experience. 2014年3月16日
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coleman95 Recent Stay Great... Highly Recommend, Resturants onsite were great, 2014年3月16日
Rated 5 out of 5 by nedf another great stay here this is my go to hotel at lax. i have tried a few others but always end up coming back here. check in is easy and friendly, all the amenities are close by ie the pool,restaurant. great fast free shuttle from ax. the heated pool is always nice coming off a long haul international flight, or getting to have a dip before hand. brewsters is a bit pricey, but that is my only real issue with this. i love this hotel 2014年3月12日
Rated 5 out of 5 by AlbertaTraveller My LAX airport choice Very convenient location, frequent LAX shuttle, helpful staff. The breakfast buffet could have some fresh vegetables, and the hotel could participate in the SPG Green Choice Program. 2014年3月11日
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roami26 New General Manager...but SAME GREAT HOTEL and SERVICE! I stay several times a year at the Four Points by Sheraton - LAX. This stay, I learned there was a fairly NEW General Manager. I was very curious to see how things may have changed. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the front desk staff was just as professional as always...(Liz is exceptional), Platinum recognition was superb...and the restaurant was as accommodating as ever - even serving up a "last minute: hummus platter for a tired and famished guest! (The food is quite tasty at the restaurant with ample portions), The gym is adequate (but could use more sanitizer containers throughout the gym area). The pool area is the best of any Four Points I've seen. It even offer little cabanas! This hotel remains a great option when staying in the LAX area. Peter had some pretty big shoes to fill replacing Phil as the GM. Nice job! 2014年3月9日
Rated 5 out of 5 by kristinau102 Wonderful stay Wonderful staff. Always a smile, everyone greeted me. The concierge desk was always ready to help. I was a little vexed by the bathrooms. Tight space with no fan. Made the week long stay a little cumbersome. Overall though my stay was very pleasant. The staff alone is worth the trip. 2014年2月28日

Managing Your Money-Related Stress
Women, it turns out, are more worried than men. Here's how to keep from losing it.
Women are worried. Very, very worried. About their stock investments, balloon mortgage payments, job security. Men are, of course, worried too, but economic stress could be taking a greater health toll on women, according to this survey of more than 2,500 people released yesterday by the American Psychological Association. (My colleague Liz Wolgemuth tells you why in this blog.) The survey found that 80 percent of folks say the economy is a significant source of stress, up from 66 percent in April. Women, though, were more likely to report being stressed about money—83 percent of them compared with 78 percent of men. Female baby boomers (ages 44 to 62) and seniors (63 and over) were most likely to report being worried over the economy, I'm guessing because they need to draw from those investments and retirement funds to send the kids to college and to live on.
Unfortunately, stress is taking a toll on our health. This survey of 104 women from BettyConfidential.com found that half of the respondents are experiencing a general sense of fear and concern, while nearly 1 in 5 is suffering insomnia. One survey taker said: "I don't sleep more than four hours a night. I get headaches. I worry that my kids can't go to college, and my doctor now has me on antianxiety meds. (Thankfully, they are cheap!)"
Worry for the sake of worrying, when we don't take meaningful action, gets us nothing but migraines, neck pain, tummy troubles, and an ill-functioning immune system incapable of fending off colds and other infections. So, once you've established a financial game plan for riding out this crisis, it's time to get proactive about putting aside those worries. The American Psychological Association recommends the following:
Tune in, but don't submerge yourself. You obviously can't stick your head in the sand and avoid all newspapers and evening news reports. But you shouldn't be checking the stock markets every 10 minutes throughout the day. OK, I'm a bit guilty of this, but I've vowed to limit myself to two times a day, max.
Recognize how you deal with money-related stress. Are you eating more? Imbibing too much? Have you taken up smoking or gambling? Sometimes, just having the self-awareness is all you need to put down the beer or bag of chips. If you need help in finding more healthful ways to deal with stress, consider talking to a professional.
See hardship as an opportunity for growth or change. As Dickens wrote in A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Maybe that teaching job will give you more joy in the long run than hedge-fund trading. Or perhaps this is a great time to volunteer for that Peace Corps mission that you were always putting off. Tara Parker Pope points out in this New York Times piece that kids may be healthier in leaner economic times just by having their parents around more.
Use stress as an excuse to exercise. OK, this is my own tip, but exercise is a fabulous stress reliever in addition to all its other health benefits. Taking a brisk walk outside—who can resist in this gorgeous fall weather?—will reduce stress hormone levels and take your mind off falling stock prices. It will also ramp up your energy and help you sleep better at night. Check out this piece I wrote for other ways to make stress work for you.

Davids and Brand lead the Cobras to victory
Henry Davids lead the way for the Cape Cobras who defeated the Victorian Bushrangers by 8 wickets in a shorted game after this mornings bomb scare at the stadium.
Well before the fireworks explode on the stadium roof tops and on the ground on Diwali Day on Saturday , the Victorian Bushrangers and Cape Cobras already have one foot each in the semi-finals of the Champions League Twenty20 cricket tournament.
Ironically, Royal Challengers play Delhi Daredevils later but their fate might well be decided earlier itself for if Cobras manage to win, their chances will go up in the smoke that emanates after the firecrackers explode.
According to the tournament's format, the teams carry forward the points earned in the Group Stage against their group opponents in the League Phase.
Victorian Bushrangers and Cape Cobras, having beaten Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers respectively, begin their campaigns with two points already in their bags. With their authoritative victory over Royal challengers, the Victorian Bushrangers now have four points.
Win or lose, Cape Cobras will have an edge going back to Delhi for their final game against the Daredevils. No matter what the result, Royal Challengers only have a remote chance of advancing.
On paper at least, the four semifinalists could well be four foreign sides, with Victorian Bushrangers and Cape Cobras among them.
The Melbourne and Cape Town based teams offer a keen contest in Saturday's double-header. Cape Cobras' Jean-Paul Duminy heads the tournament's batting averages with 131 runs from two games. The impressive Duminy hammered a brilliant unbeaten 99 against Royal Challengers and returns to his happy hunting ground.
Skipper Andrew Puttick became the tournament first centurion while making an unbeaten 104 against the Otago Volts. But in Andrew McDonald, Mckay and Holland Victorian Bushrangers to have a quality attack to curtail Cobras.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Kelley Bouchard firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
As a family physician practicing in Skowhegan for more than 30 years, Dr. Ann Dorney knows all too well the mounting challenges of providing health care in Maine.
There are four medical doctors serving in the State House in the coming legislative session: top, Rep. Ann Dorney, D-Norridgewock; above left to right, Rep. Jane Pringle, D-Windham; Rep. Linda Sanborn, D-Gorham; and Sen. Geoffrey Gratwick, D-Bangor.
Contributed photos
In that time, she has delivered more than 1,000 babies, relishing one of the great joys of her profession. More recently, she joined the staff at Redington-Fairview General Hospital in Skowhegan because private practice was no longer financially feasible, and she has witnessed the devastating impact of substance abuse on many of her patients.
"I know more than I want to know about opiate addiction in central Maine," Dorney said in a recent telephone interview from her home in Norridgewock.
Dorney will count on first-hand experience as she assumes a new role as state representative of House District 86 in the 126th Maine Legislature, at a time when health-care reform and social service issues dominate the political landscape and public discourse.
Dorney, a Democrat, is one of four medical doctors who will serve this session – the highest number since six physicians served in 1933 and the same number as in 1935, according to records culled by librarians at the Maine State Law and Legislative Reference Library.
The doctors are leading an effort to build a health policy caucus of legislators who want to develop bipartisan solutions to health care issues. They are among 14 legislators who work in health-care or social-service fields, a group that includes two emergency medical technicians, a pediatric nurse practitioner, a social worker, a family therapist, a dental hygienist and a pharmacist.
House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, a family therapist, believes legislators with professional experience will bring additional clout to simmering debates related to the federal Affordable Care Act and health-care reform in general.
The issues are complex and range from increasing demand for social services and mental health care, to the possibility of expanding Medicaid coverage provided through MaineCare. Eves compared the potential influence of health-care and social-service professionals to that of business owners on economic development and farmers on agricultural concerns.
"There are big things happening in health care and social services today, and these are individuals who care about their communities," Eves said. "They understand how the system works and know what can be improved."
The doctors also represent Democratic majorities regained in both the House and the Senate in the November elections. In addition to Dorney, the doctor lawmakers are Rep. Linda Sanborn, D-Gorham, a retired family physician who was elected in November to a third term for House District 130; Rep. Jane Pringle, D-Windham, a retired medical clinic director who is serving her first term for House District 111; and Sen. Geoffrey Gratwick, D-Bangor, a rheumatologist who is serving his first term for Senate District 32.
Physician legislators were more common in the 1800s and early 1900s, when several doctors were elected nearly every session, peaking at 13 in 1909. Gordon Smith, executive vice president of the Maine Medical Association, recalls the legislative makeup in the 1960s and 1970s, filling a gap in library records.
"I can take you back half a century," Smith said. "Since then, we've never had more than two physicians in the Legislature at the same time."
Smith noted that 20 doctors serve in the newly sworn in 113th Congress, which he said reflects the fact that many physicians "are knowledgeable and engaged people who understand the importance of reforming health care policy."
Dorney has been appointed to the Health and Human Services Committee; Pringle and Gratwick have been appointed to the Insurance and Financial Services Committee, with Gratwick as Senate chairman; and Sanborn has been appointed to the Appropriations Committee, after serving four years on health and human services.

The origins of the Metadata Resource Group can be traced to Digital Resources Committee, which was established in 1995 by members of the ALCTS Computer Files Discussion Group. In 1998 the ALCTS Board asked the committee to review its charge and to modify its name to reflect the increase in metadata development happening worldwide. At that time the group changed its name to Networked Resources and Metadata Committee. In 2003, the Committee became an Interest Group, and in 2009 the group changed its name to Metadata Interest Group.

San Antonio Spurs 2014 News and Updates
4/21/14 - It was a classic performance by the West's top seed, the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs used a 15-0 run late in the game to come away with a 90-85 victory in Game 1 of their first round series with the Dallas Mavericks. Veteran Spurs big man Tim Duncan, with 27 points and seven rebounds, played like a younger version of him, while Tony Parker collected 21 points, six assists, a steal and a blocked shot. Manu Ginobili came off the bench to make a major contribution of 17 points, six rebounds, three assists and a steal, while Kawhi Leonard notched a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Spurs also dominated as a squad in the paint, outscoring Dallas 56-32.
4/15/14 - It's the San Antonio Spurs' league, everybody else just plays in it. The Spurs clinched the top record in not only the Western Conference, but in the entire NBA, knocking off Phoenix to notch their 62nd win of the season. Neither Tim Duncan nor Manu ginobili were even on the bench for the game, which featured a 33-point outburst from Danny Green, which included 7 of 10 from three point land. Starters Kawhi Leonard and tony Parker each notched 18 points; bench contributions came from Marco Belinelli (12 points), Boris Diaw (11 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals), and Jeff Ayres (10 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots). This marks the fifth time since coming over from the ABA that the Spurs have broken the 60-win mark in a season; their franchise record is 63, set in the 2005-06 season.

4/8/14 - After reeling off 19 straight wins, the San Antonio Spurs finally dropped a game – but it took big nights for Oklahoma City's stars, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, to get it done, as the Spurs fell 106-94 on the road. However, San Antonio bounced back strongly, knocking off Memphis 112-92 over the weekend. Starter Kawhi Leonard and reserve Manu Ginobili each scored 26 points, while Tim Duncan contributed 13 points and Tony Parker 10 in the bounceback win. Parker would leave the game in the first quarter, however, with back spasms; he was slated to undergo an MRI on April 7, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
3/31/14 - Winners of 17 straight, the San Antonio Spurs have picked the absolute best time of the season to peak. Granted, four of the last five games for San Antonio have been against the likes of Philadelphia, Denver (twice) and most recently New Orleans, who the Spurs defeated 96-80 over the weekend. Spurs scoring in that game came from several players, most notably Marco Belinelli, who rang up 18 points; Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili (in a reserve role, with 15 points each; another reserve, Patty Mills, chipped in 13; while veteran Tim Duncan – who is said to be taking retirement "game by game" according to the Fansided website – adding a dozen points along with eight rebounds and four rejections.
3/24/14 - Owners now of the best record in the NBA at 53-16 – and a winning streak now at 13 games and counting – the San Antonio Spurs became the first Western Conference squad to lock up a playoff spot. Their most recent win, 99-90 at Golden State, came without the appearance of either Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili; Tony Parker led the way with 20 points, while center Tiago Splitter combined 17 points and 14 rebounds; Danny Green added 18 points, Kawhi Leonard added 16, and Marco Belinelli contributed 15 points in the Spurs' winning effort. Leonard also had seven rebounds and a pair of blocked shots.
3/18/14 - San Antonio extended their current winning streak to 10 games this past weekend, second in length only to the Los Angeles Clippers at the moment, with seven team members exploding for double-digit scoring in a 122-106 dismantling of Utah on Sunday. Leading the scoring attack was Manu Ginobili, whose 21 points off the bench was a team high; Ginobili's effort was joined by a pair of fellow internationals: Tony Parker's 18 points and seven assists, and Tiago Splitter's double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Tim Duncan contributed 16 points, six rebounds, six assists, a pair of blocked shots and a steal in an all-around effort.
3/13/14 - Now the owners of the best record in the NBA, a game ahead of Oklahoma City and Indiana, the San Antonio Spurs also have a winning streak which stands at eight games after their 103-90 win over Portland on March 12. The Spurs got balanced scoring with six players breaking double figures against the Trail Blazers – Patty Mills led the way off the bench with 15; Danny Green with 14; another reserve, veteran Manu Ginobili with 13; Thiago Splitter and Kawhi Leonard with 12 each (Splitter also had 10 boards); and Tim Duncan, who added 10 points and 11 rebounds to the Spurs' victorious effort.
3/7/14 - Just how thorough were the San Antonio Spurs in their 122-101 victory over Cleveland earlier in the week? Coach Gregg Popovich managed to get every active player on the Spurs bench some playing time; every Spur had at least one rebound; and all but one of the Spurs scored – the only player not to score was reserve center Jeff Ayres. Danny Green led the Spurs' scoring attack with 24 points. Veteran center Tim Duncan cleared eight boards, moving him past Hall of Famer Wes Unseld into 11th place on the list of most rebounds in a career. Defensively, the Spurs held Cleveland to just five points in the paint for the game.
2/28/14 - San Antonio has gotten some good news on the injury front in the last few days, as forward Kawhi Leonard returned to action in the Spurs' 120-110 dismantling of Detroit earlier in the week; and All Star guard Tony Parker is expected to be back in the Spurs lineup "no later than Sunday," coach Gregg Popovich told the San Antonio Express-News newspaper. No fewer than eight Spurs rung up double figures in scoring over the Pistons, led by Marco Belinelli's 20 coming off the bench, Manu Ginobili's 16, and Leonard's 15 point contribution. Veteran Tim Duncan led the Spurs with 9 boards.
2/20/14 - San Antonio, riding high in the West standings, made a single minor deal at the NBA's trading deadline on February 20, sending guard Nando de Colo to Toronto for lightly-used forward Austin Daye. Daye, a 6'11" Gonzaga product, had only appeared in eight games for the Raptors, averaging just a point a game. Also in off the court news, guard Tony Parker is expected to be out "with a variety of maladies," according to coach Gregg Popovich, as reported by ESPN. Parker played in last weekend's All Star Game as a reserve, collecting four points, two rebounds and an assist in 11 minutes of playing time for the West.
2/10/14 - The San Antonio Spurs got help from a surprising source over the weekend while sneaking by the Charlotte Bobcats: 32 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter, from the Australian Patty Mills. While Tim Duncan and Tony Parker were back in the lineup for the Spurs, it would become clear by the fourth quarter that Parker was still feeling the effects of back spasms. Mills would step up for the Spurs; saying after the game that it reminded him of playing for the Australian national team in the 2012 Olympics.
2/3/14 - Every year the San Antonio Spurs get written off before the season starts because of the advancing age of many of their key players…but apparently the Spurs aren't listening to the naysayers. The Spurs continue to have one of the top records in the entire league, standing second in the Western Conference just three games back of the pacesetting Oklahoma City Thunder. The Spurs are winning with equal parts grit, guts, and luck as well, escaping an upset bid by the Sacramento Kings on February 1 95-93 at AT&T Center.
1/21/14 - The San Antonio Spurs may have a stranglehold over the Southwest Division with a four game lead, but they are just one game ahead of
, who is nipping at their heels for the Western Conference's No. 1 seed. Still, MVP candidate Tony Parker and the Spurs are playing at an elite level, achieving a glimmering 32-9 record and losing just two games thus far this year. This Friday will present an interesting match: former Spur's assistant coach Mike Budenholzer will meet his old boss, Gregg Popovich, in his first year as head coach for the
Atlanta Hawks
. Tickets are an affordable $38 for this road game in Atlanta on 1/24. From there, the Spurs move onto Eastern Conference juggernauts, the
, for a possible play-off preview game as they try and send Miami further into a skid; this game offers the most expensive San Antonio Spurs tickets, at $104 to start and running up to $5975 for coveted courtside seats. At home San Antonio will take on the
OKC Thunder
toting MVP-worthy Kevin Durant tomorrow (get-in for just $12) and the
Chicago Bulls
next Wednesday (get-in for a mere $4 on 1/29).
2012-2013 Season
5/13/13 - San Antonio finished off the young Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, sweeping the 4-game Western Conference Semifinals series. Tony Parker led the team with 37 points in the Game 4 win, and with Duncan and Ginóbili supporting him, the San Antonio Spurs could add another NBA title in June. San Antonio will play the winner of the Heat vs Pacers Eastern Conference Semifinals series. Miami leads 2-1 with Game 4 tonight in Indianapolis. As of this morning Spurs tickets to the first NBA Finals home game in San Antonio at AT&T Center start at $186 and average $545.90. Read more about the latest
NBA Finals price trends
on our tickets blog.
3/22/13 - The San Antonio Spurs expect their leading scorer, Tony Parker, back Friday against the
Utah Jazz
after being out for eight games with a sprained ankle. The Spurs won six of eight without Parker and have secured a playoff berth. Despite sitting atop the Western Conference, San Antonio Spurs tickets are second cheapest in the League for the remainder of the season. The most expensive games left on the Spurs schedule are against the
Miami Heat
Los Angeles Clippers
. Cheap tickets are not just for lottery teams - aside from the Heat and Clippers, all remaining Spurs home games have tickets listed at $2 or less.
2/21/13 - Last season the San Antonio Spurs won 50 games in the shortened season, tying the Chicago Bulls for the best record in the NBA. They also broke the record for the longest winning streak extending into the playoffs. Can "The Big 3" — Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili — make a late push this year despite the fact that the NBA has cracked down on Coach Popovich's habit of resting his guys whenever he pleases? The good news for the spurs: Tony Parker is posting the best numbers of his career, Tim Duncan looks better than he has in years, and the team has the best record in the NBA heading out of the All-Star break. Things are looking bright for the Spurs as the postseason approaches.
Despite San Antonio's success, Spurs tickets are seventh cheapest in the
, averaging just $61 to see a game at
AT&T Center
. In fact, every Spurs game has had tickets less than $20 available. The Miami Heat,
Los Angeles Lakers
, and
Oklahoma City Thunder
are the three most expensive road teams in the League (in that order). When these high-profile teams play the Spurs in San Antonio, tickets for the games average $157, $152, and $107 respectively. That's much lower than Miami's, Los Angeles', and OKC's average away ticket prices of $237, $232, and $178.
The remainder of the Spurs schedule is not easy but they do finish the regular season against three of four teams currently with losing records. In the tougher of two Conferences, the San Antonio Spurs are in pursuit of their fifth NBA Championship.
San Antonio Spurs 2013-2014 Season
Expected to be in the mix to defend their Western Conference title, the Spurs have started the season 4-1. Leader Tim Duncan has been bothered by chest contusions, but his dependable teammates have continued to play smart Spurs basketball, picking up wins against the Grizzlies, Lakers, Nuggets and Suns. Coach Popovich was recently voted the league's best at making in-game adjustments which has already been showcased five games into the season. He runs one of the best offenses in the NBA, and is respected league-wide especially by his veteran players. While the Spurs roster didn't see any major changes this offseason, ticket prices did. San Antonio Spurs tickets are up 128% since last year but are still under the league average and ninth cheapest in the NBA.
… more
The Spurs hope for another shot to win the NBA Championship after being just seconds away from victory in Game 6 against the Heat. While the core of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili will be another year older, coach Greg Popovich can expect improvement from emerging star Kawhi Leonard and promising Brazilian big-man Tiago Splitter. The 2013-14 season opener comes on 10/30 at home in a Western Conference Final rematch against the
. If the starters play, the Spurs will have a chance at revenge against the Heat in Miami on 1/26 and at home at the AT&T Center on 3/6.

Dear Readers,
we are deeply sorry for the huge delay in updating the Content Network – our head editor Jatinder Singh has fallen deeply ill, and was in hospital for a few months. However, he has now recovered – and we are planning to relaunch the sites for real.
From now on, we will once again provide you with industry coverage in a timely fashion. Due to this, we have performed some structural maintenance operations and have also implemented some changes to content policy.
In addition to coverage of events like BlackBerry Jam Amsterdam and the Mobile World Congress, the following improvements have been carried out network-wide:
Improved layout
Our original layout dates back to the initial launch in 2004, and has only seen slight enhancements (and one colour change) ever since. Given that the pace of the IT world has accelerated since that time, we have now decided to make a small change again.
From now on, our homepage will list stories in a more compact fashion. Interesting content can be read by clicking the "Continue Reading" link – this saves traffic and time.
More staff
A total of three people are now dedicated to supplying you with content. This means that we are less susceptible to loss of staff – and should have new stuff for you every day like in the old days.
Discontinuation of legacy sites
In order to make the operation of the network more sustainable, we have had to reduce the number of sites. Due to dwindling market interest, some of our venues have been shuttered – information relevant to these platforms will, from now on, be featured on the remaining sites as part of the "industry-wide coverage".
With that, we hope for your continued loyalty and remain
With cordial regards

Pizza >Lil' Anthony's NY Pizzeria
5229 Red Bug Lake Rd, Winter Springs, FL | Directions 3270828.647588 -81.276748
Mon - Thurs: 11:00 am - 10:00 pm
Fri - Sat: 11:00 am - 11:00 pm
Sun: 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Pizza is the best – I've been living in the Orlando area for almost 45 years, and this is honestly the best pizza i've encountered and had the chance to try. Don't bother going anywhere else because this is truly the best, and you won't be disappointed!!
Lil' Anthony's! – Lil Anthony's NY Pizzeria has the best pizza in Orlando!
Lil' Anthony's Amazing Pizza – Lil' Anthony's NY Pizerria has THE BEST pizza in all of Orlando. Also, the service is exceptional with very friendly servers. This is a place you must visit and taste some of their delicious pizza for yourself!
Amazing Pizza – This pizza place probably has the best pizza I've ever had in Orlando. Not only is the pizza awesome but the customer service is superb. I would recommend this place to everyone that I know.
BEST MARGHERITA – i used to get the regular pie w tomatoes, but i do love the margherita now ever since the waitress recommended it now iam hooked! I also like that its a family run business
GREAT PIZZA -- Fresh ingredients, superb crust -- seasoned just right – Best sausage ever on a pizza. These folks really do it right. We're hooked. You can sit there and dine also at a few tables. And they have some pizza by the slice. Try it!
Not same as used to be – I just have to chime in as I have been a customer for years but my experiences in the last year echo the previous reviewer. Two months ago I waited in the lobby standing for at least 25 minutes after they said my pizza's would be ready. It was like I wasn't even there. Very rude. I have also had issues with the quality not being what it once was with all of the food. Keep in mind as well they are not a cheap restaurant, that did not used to be an issue because of the quality.
horrible customer service and so much more... lil anthony's in winter springs – Well first off. I've read a lot of comments on here & I see a lot of NY/NJ people go here to eat pizza because it's as close as you're going to get down here. & I have to agree on that part, as a native NYer being down here 4 years I've found this place to be good with their pizza, but honestly thats where it stops especially the last few orders. Tonight I ordered dinner and they told me a 1/2 hour for pick up so i got there 5 minutes early and had to wait an additional 20 minutes for my food (when i got there they didn't seem to even realize they needed my order) Then when i got home the chicken from both dinners were tough (hard as rocks) and dry- I had a hard time cutting the chicken and even chewing it. Then I call them to ask if they have a new cook that they should watch how long they're cooking the food. well the customer service was horrible the girl who answered the phone did say sorry (with a hint of attitude) & then asked "well what do you want me to do about it" I then replied "I don't want you to do anything" I was just so annoyed. So then my fiance called back because he's more level headed then I, & spoke to a manager that pretty much gave him a hard time. They did give us a 25% discount on our next order but i doubt we'll order again. We have noticed the decline in the quality of their food (i know the economy is bad for everyone right now - but if we're paying more $ then quality should still stay the same) the caprese salad used to be GREAT, as expensive as it was i would order it almost every time. In the past 8 months the quality has gone from 100% to about 45% I will not order that salad anymore. NOR after this evening i probably will not be ordering from them ever again. I've found another pizza place near my job that is even more "NY Style" so on my way home i'll stop there instead. So basically my last words are going to be go to lil anthonys only if it's your last choice of food. quality & customer service is not what it should be!

Sometimes it is hard not to judge a book by its cover. That is just what I did when picking up Christopher Isherwood's book Mr Norris Changes Trains. The luxurious sleeve, together with the author's reputation as the writer of A Single Man, was enough to buy it. But there is also has a hint of the ridiculous, something entirely in keeping with its contents.
Based loosely upon Isherwood's own experiences and exploits in the Weimar Republic as the Nazis steadily rose to power, it focuses upon the character of Arthur Norris, an importer/exporter of delightful contradictions. He is a gentleman, a swindler, a masochist, a communist, a master of deception forever fooling himself. His behaviour is observed through the impeccable vacuum of narrator William Bradshaw (Isherwood's middle names).
Isherwood reduces Bradshaw's character to that of helpless but not hapless onlooker, slipping into the background to allow Norris sufficient space to flourish in this most intriguing of settings. Through a series of lightly played scenarios, the combination of sexual freedom and political intrigue in Berlin is deftly explored. Hackneyed commies and closeted government officials give rise to plenty of comedic set ups, which Isherwood delights in exploring for comic effect. Boozy nights out are sketched with Cabaret grotesques and light-hearted capers. Much is made of Norris' distinctive bedroom tastes and silly wig.
His politics are given even lighter shadings. While he speaks at communist meetings and often pops abroad to do Party work, the severity of the situation is never addressed. Communists appear a little bloodied and brown shirts begin appearing more regularly. However, the backdrop of Germany's wider upheaval is played with the same wry smirk as Mr Norris' own mysterious travails. Isherwood walks a tightrope between reportage and yarn, leaving the reader feeling the meatier material got cut. Bradshaw himself appears asexual and, though he dabbles with translation for the communists, apolitical.
More menacing than the Nazis is an unsavoury character named Schmidt, formerly in Norris' employ. He blackmails Norris into taking one risk too many – but even his threat is dismissed in comic fashion by the landlady. Tension and danger are never properly established, so appreciation of the extremity of the situation is sadly lacking. The book started life as part of a wider, more substantial novel to be called The Lost. Mr Norris was torn from that narrative and placed solo; that move leaves him as the punchline of a joke only Isherwood knows.
There are wryly observed asides aplenty; bawdy scenes in which to revel in Isherwood's stylish prose. But you feel he is always holding out on you. Like its protagonist, Mr Norris Changes Trains is ever the charmer, but falls short of really delivering. Mind the gaps.

REGISTRATION: All players must be registered and carry a player pass issued by AZSC in order to participate in league play. A team will forfeit their game if found guilty of player pass fraud, or playing with ineligible or non-registered players. The team manager or the entire team may be suspended indefinitely if found guilty of player pass fraud. AZSCs minimum player requirement for a team is eleven (15) players and each team may carry up to twenty-five (22) players. A player must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or older. All rosters must be frozen at the end of week three. There may be an addition to the roster only if a player has been injured and will not be able to play for the rest of the season. The team roster cannot exceed the maximum of twenty-five (22) players. All teams must be represented at each seasons mandatory meeting by a team manager/representative. Failure to do so will disqualify registration entry unless a disclaimer is signed by manager/representative. Mandatory meetings provide information on due process, registrations, red cards, appeals, new procedures, issues discussed and voted upon, etc. and are the team representatives responsibility to inform each player on their team.
FREE AGENT: Free agents are players that do not have a team and enroll for free in the free agent list. Team managers can request players to complete their rosters. A maximum of 10 player names will be given to a requesting team, unless a new team will be formed with new players. Please notify office when player has been selected for your team so that player may be removed from the list.
TEAM\PLAYER\ELEGIBILITY: Historical record with AZSC will be reviewed by D and R Committee to assess registration eligibility. The league reserves the right to deny registration due to discipline problems, dangerous, and violent conduct of a player or a team that does not meet the disciplinary standards of behavior set by AZSC, including conduct on and off the field, in affiliated and non-affiliated leagues. A maximum of 3 players will be allowed to be a dual roster. Dual roster players cannot play on the same team.
NSF CHECKS: Players/teams with NSF checks may be removed from the season and a $25.00 bad check fee will be assessed to the team. The registration fee for the season must be paid by the coaches meeting. Failure to have payment in by the meeting will result in the team being removed from the season and replaced with a team from the waitlist. Payment may be made by: a cashiers check, money order or cash. We will also be accepting credit card payments on the gostoccer.com registration system. As always, no fees are to be given to field officials.
RULE OF PLAY: All games will be governed by the FIFA laws of soccer, with the following exception: There will be an unlimited number of substitutions allowed during a game. Substitutions will only be allowed by permission from the referee at the following stoppages in play: Either team may substitute, on a goal kick or a kick off. Only the team with possession of the ball at any given throw in; however, if a substitution is initiated by the team in possession, the other team may be granted a substitution with permission of the referee. Games will start on time when at least seven (7) players are on the field. When a team is short on players, there will be a ten-minute grace period for the start of games. A game will be forfeited if a manager cannot field at least seven (7) players after the grace period has expired.
It is the team managers responsibility to keep track of player passes. (A team that has misplaced its player passes may check in with the AZSC issued roster with proper player photo identification, (such as a drivers license.) If a team does not have player passes with them at the start of the game, the team or player missing the passes will not be allowed to play.
LEAGUE FORMAT: AZSC Mens league is a league based on points. The four top teams from each division at the end of the eight week regular season will be in the playoffs. Semi-finals will be held on Saturday of the 9th week and Finals will be held the next day, Sunday. In case of a tie, the tie breaker will be determined based on goals for, then goals against and finally goal differential.
CO-ED DIVISION: Same rules apply to this division as the Mens Adult Division with the exception that a Minimum of 5 female players per team is required to be participating on the field at all times.
UNIFORMS: At the beginning of the season there will be a two (2) week grace period for all players to be in the same color shorts, socks, and jerseys with numbers on them. It will be the responsibility of the home team to change jerseys if a conflict in color exists. Failure to be in the same color uniform will result in that player from not being allowed to play. No shirt swapping will be allowed.
FLIGHT DIVISION ALLOCATION AND REQUESTS: Champions for each division during season games must automatically advance to the next upper division. The bottom teams in each division must be dropped to the lower division, creating room for advancing teams. AZSC uses additional criteria based on division size, field availability and any other logistic matters in deciding team division allocation. Division requests will be assessed based on competitive record, priority request given to existing league teams. New teams must start at the lower brackets if a spot is not available in the requested division. AZSC schedules and division allocations are final and cannot be changed.
SCHEDULE REQUESTS: Schedule requests are logistically and extremely difficult to accommodate. AZSCs computer generated schedules and standings have limited flexibility in scheduling a team based on specific requests. For this reason AZSC cannot guarantee or promise any specific timeslots to any team. Within these limitations, AZSC will do the best it can to accommodate team requests. No appeals or schedule changes are allowed once schedules are established.
SCHEDULES/CANCELLATIONS: Most games are played on Sundays, but when necessary may be played during other days as per field availability. Teams need to be aware that a forfeit will apply if a team does not show up to play for a scheduled game. Only the league can make schedule changes and will do so with justification affecting field logistics. All scheduled games will be played unless, cancelled due to weather and will be noted on our website at www.arizonasoccerclub.com. Game cancellations for rainy days are placed on the AZSC website starting at 6:00 a.m. Sunday mornings. The referee may decide whether to play a game based on weather conditions should games be played. Any season game that has been played for 45 minutes or more will be considered a full game despite the score at the time of stoppage. When stoppage is due to a teams behavior and dangerous conduct, the game is forfeited by the team causing the problem.
If a team realizes that it will not have enough players three (3) days prior to the game it must give notification to the AZSC office at least three (3) days prior to game day. (Officials, League, and other team need to be notified.) Fees associated with cancellation of games without sufficient notice will be the responsibility of the team canceling the game.
RETURNING VOICEMAIL MESSAGES: Please note that messages left on voicemail are only picked up Monday - Friday. If you need to contact someone, please contact the adult coordinator for the season. His/her e-mail address will be posted on the AZSC website under the Adult league information section.
MAKE UP GAMES: Only the league coordinator can reschedule games. Please note that rescheduling games are costly and very difficult to coordinate. Not having enough players to play a game is not an excuse for failure to play a game. It will result in a forfeit.
FORFEITS: A game will be forfeited if a manager cannot field at least seven (7) players after the grace period (10 minutes) has expired. Any team that forfeits two (2) or more games in one season due to lack of players, may be excluded with no registration refunds, and may be required to pay a security deposit prior to registering the following season.
LEAGUE DECISIONS: Any and all other information distributed by AZSC becomes an integral part of procedures and league standards. All other questions or rule interpretations will be decided by AZSCs Executive Board of Directors. In the event of a tie on any vote, the league president will have the deciding vote.
DISCIPLINE AND RULES: AZSCs Codes of Conduct must be reviewed and signed by each player and team managers to be eligible to play and lead the team. The teams conduct and behavior is a reflection of the team managers leadership, therefore, the team captain/manager is responsible for the conduct of the team. If a manager is found negligent in leading the team according to the managers code of conduct the and leagues rules, the manager will be removed from the leadership of the team, and a new manager must be assigned or elected by the team to allow the team to remain in the league.
YELLOW CARDS: A player receiving a yellow card during the game will sit out temporarily at the referees discretion, but no more than 10 minutes. The team may substitute during the temporary ejection. If a player is issued a second yellow card in the same game, it will be equal to a red card and the player will be sent off. Players must leave the playing area all together.
RED CARDS: Any player issued a red card will be required to sit out the next game and will be issued a $25.00 fine. The fine must be paid in order for the player to return to the team to play. If the player did not return after that week, the team must pay the fine in order to be allowed to play that following week. The D and R committee, (Discipline and Rules Committee) will meet to review the referees report and decide on the fate of the players status at that time. All appeals must be made in writing by the following Sunday at the fields. You may also e-mail the appeal to email@example.com If a player misses the opportunity of appeal; they will have to wait until the following week and will be required to pay a $50.00 fee to accommodate the administrative handling. However, most decisions are decided upon once. Appeals apply only to suspensions. No appeals are allowed for game outcome or referee decisions.
NOTIFICATION OF RED CARDS: It is the responsibility of the player(s) and team(s) to contact AZSC adult coordinator and referee coordinator via e-mail or telephone to find out about fines and game(s) suspension(s) for red card(s). The fine and game suspension report will be attached to the roster the following Sunday. All fines need to be paid at the AZSC office on Wednesday between 9-3 p.m. before the game weekend or at the field prior to game time. Any fines not paid on time will preclude the player & team from playing in the scheduled game.
CUMULATIVE RED CARDS: Any player with four (4) yellow cards during a season will be treated like a red card and shall receive one (1) game suspension and a $25.00 fine. The fine must be paid to the league in order for the player to return to team play and for the team to continue to play as well. Additional yellow cards may result in probation, suspension or expulsion. Any player with two red cards in a season must pay a $50.00 fine and may be expelled from the league, cases will be reviewed on an individual basis and the D and R Committee will use own judgment based on the severity of infractions.
SIDLINES: All players, coaches and fans will stand or sit at least four (4) yards away from the sideline. This allows the linesman easier access down the line to do his job without interference and allows the players more room while taking throw-ins. Teams that do not comply may be penalized or the referee or league official may halt the game. Team captains/managers are responsible for sideline behavior. Under no circumstances shall any spectators enter the soccer field during the game. Players or team managers on the sidelines may only enter the field with authorization from referee. Anyone stepping on the field without the referees authorization shall be expelled from the league. Under some circumstances, and for safety purposes, further action may be required for any individual whose conduct threatens others.
ABUSIVE LANGUAGE/VERBAL ABUSE: A player and team may be ejected from the game, suspended for game(s) or expelled from the league due to offensive language toward players, league officials, spectators or bystanders on the field and adjacent to field area where AZSC operates.
VIOLENT CONDUCT/FIGHTING: If a player is expelled from the game for violent or uncontrollable behavior he must leave the park or the referee will halt the game until such player is removed from the sidelines and the park. If a league official, referee and field marshal determine that a player is a threat to the safety of other players on and off the field, this player will be ejected from the game, asked to leave the park, and will be suspended according to D and R Committee criteria and AZSC rules. Repeat offenses most likely will carry a long suspension and possibly the loss of privileges of playing in the AZSC program. The above rule applies for assault on league officials, which include spitting, verbal abuse and threatening to harm.
INDECENT EXPOSURE: Any player found urinating; mooning, in the park or public area, or found in any similar conduct will be suspended for a number of game(s) as per AZSC rules and D and R criteria.
HARD TACKLES/COLLISIONS/UNSAFE PLAY: AZSC is an amateur league, therefore, the FIFA rules applicable to serious foul play in the professional ranks are enhanced in the amateur divisions to protect the safety of players, reduce injuries and promote longevity of players in the game. The following rules have been modified and adopted:
Slide Tackles are allowed as long as the intent is to play the ball and while aiming at the ball player uses safety not to injure other players. Tackles from behind are not allowed. Tackles with cleats up toward a player are not allowed. Hard contact with a player shielding the ball is not allowed and subject to foul call even in advantage situations, yellow card may be shown. Air balls. A player in the air taken down by a player on the ground is a serious foul play and requires immediate ejection.
