Sep 25, 2012FIFA is amazing!! The franchise made a massive leap with FIFA 11, this has improved incrementally with FIFA 12 and FIFA 13.
FIFA 13 is the best sports game to date.
Sep 25, 2012great game better than pes in every way i'll play it for the rest of the year no stop with my friends. they solved almost every bug fifa 12 had and improved the online mode and the career mode!!
Oct 2, 2012Obviously the people that are writing those biased reviews are the nimrods that like PES and can't stand that yet another year FIFA have destroyed the konami abomination. People bashing the first control engine are the same retards that were complaining about tactical defending on fifa 12, if you can't handle it, that's your fault and obviously you lack the brain cells to play a sophisticated game like this and maybe you should just play something for 3 year old babies maybe wii sports is more suitable for your skills. FIFA 13 is the best football game this year and all the sales prove it.… Expand
Oct 3, 2012If you played FIFA 12 do not expect many changes with FIFA 13.
I'm an old fan of PES since the ISS, but it was from the FIFA 10 I note that EA was doing things better than Konami, who gave only small updates to their different editions and I became a fan of FIFA.
FIFA 11 was a great leap, perfect artificial intelligence, physics, etc ... FIFA 12 extremely difficult in offline mode (online mode you had a lot of help from the AI when defending), but always innovating, so that justifies the $ 59.99 per year.
FIFA 13 is not a great leap of FIFA 12 is a slight upgrade in technology, defense is no longer an impossible task (I must admit that after several days of frustration with FIFA 12, I loved the "tactical defense"!) If your first time with FIFA saga you adapt really fast.
The career mode is the same as in FIFA 12, you do not notice a significant change. In online modes you can find more options, it's definitely the best of FIFA 13.
I honestly expected more from EA and FIFA 13, it's a great game but I feel does not justify the $ 59.99 for the minimum improvements.… Expand
Sep 28, 2012Plainly amazing. Very enjoyable. The gameplay doesn't have major improvements, but career mode has. International addition looks cool and the skill games are also good. I just hope that the online is just as good
Sep 27, 2012Amazing first touch.. realistic passing and shooting. realistic football and successfully player characters.. i loved it! Fifa 13 is the best sports game ever.
Oct 3, 2012I can't understand why people don't like this game? Fifa 11 was good, fifa 12 was a copy of 11 with a new roster, euro 2012 was a disgrace, but fifa 13 is actually good.
It plays fluently, great passing, great first touch, which really add to better realism (hold X too long and your pass is a miss, give a pass too hard and your teammate has trouble controlling the ball with a bad first touch as a result, ...) Keepers do a great job (sometimes too great), good defence instead of fifa 12, pace is no longer the only key to succes.
Ultimate team is more casual-player-friendly, easier to win coins, which makes it easier to buy better players (in previous versions you had to whore the market at 59-minute to get loads of coins or pay real money to buy gold packs). Good implementation of the season-mode.
I think the low scores are from fifa-players who liked the fifa 11 /12 style of play (hit x and your pass is spot on, use high paced attackers and sprint from the middle to the goal, score from 30 yards with a R1-controlled shot, etc) Now you need to work to score, pass good, time your sprints and try to get past the goalie. Also the lesser team is not that boosted anymore as in fifa 12, where it was easier to win with a 74-team vs 85-team, then the other way around... Now it's more balanced.
-1 because shots from outside the box from are mostly too easily scored, which can be a bit frustrating at times and beacuse it can only improve (fifa 14?)… Expand
Oct 2, 2012Trolls everywhere! No deberían dejar votar a cualquiera en una de las mejores páginas de críticas! Porque solo se dedican a trolear, insultar, y decir cosas sin fundamentos. FIFA 13 es el mejor juego de soccer hasta la fecha, cuanti y cualitativamente, le duela a quien le duela!
Sep 26, 2012Definetly an improvement! Old mechanics get better, first touch works well an it gives great depth to gameplay. Faster than fifa12 and it's full of excitement! A certain recommendation, probably the best soccer simulation ever created!
Sep 27, 2012Best Fifa ever. Pes is a mess compared to fifa. It is the best football game ever. It is so interesting to play in it and is worth is every penny you will pay.
Sep 27, 2012I'm a FIFA fan but I think the point of my perfect rating is to the functions of the game. It's undoubtedly the best sports game this year and of course the best football game. It's not only vast and extremely fun that can last all year. Some features are still unseen on other sports gams which makes FIFA a unique game of its kind-something that adds to its good functionality. It's not perfect that's true, neither revolutionary in contradition with thee last installment but it's a game worth buying. 9 is the ideal rating but for a fan of sports this game HAS to be 10.… Expand
Sep 30, 2012The funny thing about soccer games is that real life football can't really bother me, I myself are a dork on the real pitch but still, the new FIFA has become somewhat of a tradition. This year, I made a promise to myself not to buy the game on release, just wait until christmas time when it's half priced. But no, seen some footage, listened to some reviews and read about the first touch control, together with the even more detailed defence and I found myself, flushing away 50 euro's at the local gameshop. Three days later, there is no sorrow. It plays great again! The first touch control makes it hard to just rush past any player. Taking on the ball has to be measured out, if not, it bounces three feet further, back into the feet of your opponent. When attacking, you have to pass aroung the ball, slowly moving forward and setting up your squad for the final rush to the goal. The feeling you get if you score, is very rewarding. That's nog all though; defence is an art in this version of FIFA. Just rushing to the opponent with the ball and holding the O-button won't work, he'll just pass the ball to a other player, just before you make your move. You have to put pressure on him, just by blocking his passing options with your player and your teammates by using your r1 button. The L2 button is used, just like last year, to always face your opponent and thereby, blocking the passing options. It feels much more realistic this way, patience is needed and that is a good thing.
Is it all good then? No, of course not, the perfect game will never exist. (although ASTROIDS came close...) The first thing that comes to mind are the graphics. They are sharp, players do look alike but mainly the surroundings (stadiums, public, officials, coaches, the bench) are still very ugly to look at. I'm afraid this will last till the next-gen consoles to take it to the next (photo-realistic?) level.
Secondly, this game features so much game modes, I get the feeling it is an overload. This is a FIFA series "problem" i've never had the feeling with a FIFA game that after one year, i've actually took everything out of the game that is in it. T
Out of all these modes, for me, only the career mode, and the one-on-one online matches are important. Oh, and there is also a feature that i like, that's called, matchday. In this mode, the squads stats are transferred from real life. If Van Persie is injured, he isn't in the game, if he's out of shape, you'lle notice this in the game. Hopefully, this will mean that online, after a few months, there will be more different teams you can choose that all have their own skills. In past FIFA games, online it was either ManU, Chelsea or Real Madrid.
Bottom line; year in, year out EA proves that they make a great game better. It's a total no-brainer to buy. The game offers unlimited hours of gameplay, and everytime you start a match, you have that feeling that you have a challange awaiting for you. (actually stole this quote from gamekings.tv, but very true) Gameplay wise a 10/10 score is justified, because of graphics and the audio, that is pretty much the same as the last 4 years, I'll only give it a 9/10… Expand
Feb 10, 2013The game is absolutely fantastic. The tutorial mode is brilliant. Unfortunately there are occasional technical problems I get disconnected during ultimate team.
Nov 12, 2012Competition is a good thing. It makes people want to be better than other people. This is the case for sports games. Fifa, Madden, NHL, and NBA games battle it out every year to come out on top. I'm happy to say this year belongs to Fifa. In short, Fifa 13 is an amazing outcome of competition. Graphically, the game looks great. The presentation of the stadiums and the player models look brilliant. The same can be said about the camera work in the game. The camera will often shake bringing in a level of realism. That's not the only thing that is an improvement from the previous games. The gameplay takes a turn for the best in this game. There is a new predictability engine in the game. Players will retrieve the ball based on their skill and position. Sometimes they will capture it perfectly while other times they will stumble over it. Other than that the game keeps it strategic gameplay that won fans over in Fifa 12. So what else is good? The massive amount of content in the game. There is so much to do here that it can be quite overwhelming wanting to do it all. But that's a good thing. I've enjoyed my time immensely with Fifa 13. I give it a 9.5. For the full video review, check out TheGamingSofa on youtube.… Expand
Oct 31, 2012Even better now, minor tweaks compared to FIFA 12 took this to another level. New league system in UT, imporved career development and a lowered possibility to curve the ball a little bit too easy (like in 11 or 12) makes this just a little bit better then anything I have played. If you only buy one soccer game, this is the one for sure.
Sep 27, 2012it´s a beautiful game, more realistic and a little bit deeper than it´s predecessor, the king keeps his trone. the graphics looks great and the enviroment is very realistic....
Oct 1, 2012FIFA 13 is a game that innovates much compared to the previous, but some details like the challenges, detailing the stages of the excellent gameplay make the best sports game of the year.
Jan 20, 2013fifa 13 its a really good game if you like soccer.
i like the way they made the online, to creat your own club and you can invite your friends thats pretty awesome.
the ultimate team has been growing a lot.
for me EA has made a really good job.
Oct 29, 2012FIFA Soccer 13 the most beautiful I've ever played, compared to the previous chapter improvements everywhere in every respect, clean graphics and sharp, contrasting ever more real and stunning ball physics also comment more precise and effective. Lacking only the champions and official competitions of the UEFA and then the perfection is near. If the next chapter will be added to this there will be no challenge from other football video games. FIFA 13 the number one. fifa 13 the best ever. Congratulations !!!!! sports and it's in the game!… Expand
May 16, 2013I had originally given this game 9 out of 10. However after 6 months the game still freezes from time to time or has weird issues (loaned players taking 2 years to return back to your team or leave the team, etc). I can't see how they haven't fix the issues after all this time! Dropping the review to 4, since when the game doesn't freeze, it's still pretty good.
Oct 9, 2012My favorite game of all time. Love the gameplay but the career mode freezing is starting to extremely piss me off. It freezes randomly in career mode when you press advance to play your next match. At first i taught it was my game but when i googled it i found out that its a problem for most people out there
Oct 29, 2012Logically similar to FIFA 12, but with an improved experience thanks to the IA. People´s first impression is bad but you just have to play a few matches to see that its an excellent game, BETTER THAN PES
Jan 5, 2013FIFA13 is a very good game but needs to improve in some aspects. The South American championships need to be better seen and EA should invest in these championships, including then in the next edition. The faces of players who do not work at the top of football (BPL, Bundesliga, Serie A, BBVA) also need improvement.
Jul 24, 2013is way better than PES 2013,is more realistic and is more fun.Its better than any soccer game i ever played in my life,finally a good one!.Absoluty worth picking up.
Nov 20, 2013Simplemente un juego supremo, inmenso, el mejor juego de futbol de la historia, con los modos Ultimate Team muy depurado, el modo Mánager muy mejorado con muchísimas mejoras, entre ellas poder fichar x cambio de un jugador, irte tu mismo cedido, poder jugar con la selección tanto como jugador como entrenador, la jugabilidad es exquisita, tan real que cuesta diferenciar la realidad con lo virtual. La tienda EASFC es un puntazo mas a favor, poder comprar cosas e ir desbloqueándolo poco a poco le da un toque de pique, encima también esta a parte la mejora en los gráficos, bastantes mejores que en Fifa 12, es un juego de fútbol que quien no lo tenga es un delito, EA enhorabuena estáis casi rozando la perfección, los únicos puntos débiles serian algunas licencias que faltan, como Napoli, Camp Nou...la Champions y la Europa League...pero en todo caso, un 9 bien merecido.… Expand
May 30, 2014EA has done spectacularly with FIFA 13. The graphics are breath taking and the commentary is immersive. I love game modes such as ultimate team and pro clubs. This game has a nice social aspect to it. Very good game!
Oct 31, 2012I wasn't expecting a miracle from the improvements, but I still liked them.
Attacking Intelligence: makes the AI able to do quick plays as the AI is better at offense now, I liked it because now I can play career mode as a defender as the cpu attackers do their job at attack
The new Free Kick system: now you can run players over the ball have up to 3 fk takers, not bad too.
Skill Games: each section of skill games (ex. penalties) should have had more challenges than just 4, since there are some you can complete at the first attempt.
Fixed impact engine: no difference
Improved passing: now you can pass to mates that are very close to you without a problem
Virtual Pro: the online pro is only avaliable at online, meaning that you can't test him in single player, and even if accomplishments were supposed to be only online I wish it was avaliable to single player. Each time you start a career mode you can start it as a pro, meaning you can have countless pros, but I still wish some of the single player accomplishments were more about skill, and not about time (ex: 10 passes, then 50 passes, then 100 passes, etc.)
Catalogue: makes you able to buy items (like team classical kits, kickers, career mode bonuses) and the more you level up more items are avaliable.
Thats it, I think fifa 13 is worth buying if you didn't played fifa 12 a lot and I liked most of the improvements, I wasn't expecting a miracle, but for 1 year these improvements are good.… Collapse
Nov 15, 2012New key features such as first touch, attacking intelligence and improved player impact engine are the cornerstones of FIFA 13. Finally, after years of waiting, the ball is really round and there is a sense of unpredictability on the field. That makes an enjoyable footy game. [Nov 2012]
Nov 6, 2012While it does more iterating than innovating this year, FIFA stands alone atop a somewhat small heap of competition to remain the soccer game you want if you only want one soccer game.
Oct 28, 2012If you're a die-hard fan, you likely had FIFA 13 in your sights the moment it was announced. If you've been away from the series for a few entries, there's no better time to jump back into FIFA.

Two women in Omaha are calling for a stop to all the violence.
Both had family members whose murders remain unsolved.
They're hoping by planning an event, they can make a big impact in the city.
It was one September 12th of 2011 that Carl Reed and Jamelia Hesseltine were discovered murdered in their apartment.
No arrests have been made yet, but Hesseltine's sister, Buffy Bush, knows someone has the answer.
"You'd rather sit next to a murderer, or lay with a murderer, or sit down at your dinner table with a murderer, than to see justice served for the people that they've hurt," she says.
Barbara Robinson found her brother, James Moss, dead last October.
He was shot to death.
His case is also unsolved.
For Robinson, the images of the day she found him still play over in her head.
"My heart already was low. It just sunk. It just sunk into my stomach to find my brother dead," she says.
These ladies have had enough, so on September 12th, they're organizing a peace walk at Fontenelle Park. They want to fill the area with people who want to stop the violence.
They want everyone to know that real families are affected by these murders in the city. That's why they're telling their stories.
They're calling on everyone to come together, solve unanswered questions, get killers off the streets, and put an end to the violence.
"You know, people would rather sit there and watch a fight, than break one up. This is what our community has come to and it's sad. It's very sad," Bush says.
The event will take place on September 12th at 6 p.m. at Fontenelle Park.
They're asking all victims of violence to bring a poster, balloons, and remember their loved ones.
They ladies add, they're hoping city leaders will also get involved with the event.

- YUCHOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014This restaurant may be in the heart of Aspen but I would never go back. As you walk in, you walk down stairs and the smell of bad fish fills the air. The stairs are black with dirt. The restaurant just doesn't feel clean. The restaurant is listed as a gluten-free friendly restaurant, but I would question that. The gazpacho ( that was supposed to be gluten-free) that I ordered came with tempura fried shrimp that wasn't gluten-free of course. The yellowtail sushi roll we ordered had fish that was not fresh in it. Granted the service was good, because there were few other customers there on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend. That should have been my first clue not to eat there. So horrible. Will never go back.

The table water had a very bad taste. Server acted as if there was no problem. Table next to us noticed water was bad too. I have eaten here every season for over 20 years and will not return. Food was below average relative to the price.
- Sorry to see it goOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/21/2014Takah Sushi has been a "must go" restaurant for us since our first visit to Aspen. The sushi is always delicious, and we enjoyed some new items this visit, including the Agedashi tofu and Japanese eggplant. We visited the restaurant during their alumni party, so it was a bit noisier than usual. But the staff treated us wonderfully. We -- and many others, I'm sure -- will miss it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific sushiKmacVIPDined on 3/13/2014Nestled in the center of Aspen Takah serves up super fresh sushi and sashimi- that will leave you wondering how they do it without an ocean close by.

Then our rolls came, and the wrap was very rubbery, and hard to chew. We had to pull them apart to get to the middles which were just ok. The waitress was a bit brusque and seemed to want us to hurry, which we did to get out of there. Not sure I would recommend.

- Food was excellent, serviceDaveDined on 3/26/2013Food was excellent, service was indifferent and oddly paced. We did not get our wine until we were halfway through our meal so when we were done with the food we had half a bottle left. They did give us a brown bag to take the wine home. The restaurant is small, crowded and noisy - not necessarily bad if you like that ambience, just be aware of it if you don't. I reservedly recommend it because the food was so good and if you understand the limitations, but would probably not go back.Special Features:

We had a good time bantering with the bartender and ended up eating at the bar (you can save a few bucks with the bar menu). Fun place even if sushi / sashimi dishes are not your favorite.

Okaaaay, but $28??. The spicy tuna roll wasn't all that spicy without wasabi. All that said, the service was attentive and friendly, atmosphere hip and pleasant.

Just purchased a silver version and I'm in the process of transferring files from my MSI netbook. The Sony machine is beautiful and fast. And quality. A great machine.
The 11.6in Sony VAIO Y Series (VPCYB16KG) is based on the AMD Fusion E-350 APU, which runs at 1.6GHz and has two cores. It's a stylish laptop with a light weight that's perfect for travellers and any users who require plenty of mobility.
Sony's 11.6in VAIO Y Series (VPCYB16KG) laptop is an ultraportable model based on AMD's Fusion E-350 APU (accelerated processing unit). This APU has two CPU cores, runs at 1.6GHz and it also has an integrated AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics processor. As far as small laptops go, it packs plenty of power under the hood and it's suitable not just for browsing the Web, but also for viewing and editing photos, and viewing HD video.
Read our review of the Intel Core i3-based Sony VAIO Y Series (VPCYA15FGB).
At around 1.4kg, the VAIO Y Series is light and easy to cart to and from the office or the classroom and it also looks great. It's available in three colours, none of which are black or white. Instead, you can select from green, pink or silver. The keyboard on the VAIO Y Series has isolated keys that feel good to press and the touchpad is responsive and supports multi-touch gestures.
Around the edges of the VAIO Y Series you'll find the standard audio, USB and memory card features, but the stand-out feature for this small laptop is the inclusion of HDMI. You can easily sit the VAIO Y Series next to your big-screen TV and hook it up to watch streaming online videos, for example.
While we haven't yet performance tested the VAIO Y Series laptop, we expect it will be faster than the fastest netbook computer we've seen to date, Acer's Aspire One Happy, which uses a dual-core Intel Atom CPU. In the graphics department, we expect the VAIO Y Series to dominate. The Toshiba NB550D is the first of the AMD Fusion ultraportable laptops that we've seen, and it recorded a high score of 1882 in 3DMark06. As the Sony VAIO Y Series has a slightly more powerful graphics component (an AMD Radeon HD 6310 compared to an AMD Radeon HD 6250) and a faster CPU speed (1.6GHz compared to 1GHz), we expect it to score even higher in this benchmark.
The bottom line is, the Sony VAIO Y Series (VPCYA15FGB) looks to be a very solid little ultraportable laptop that will knock the socks off netbooks and other entry-level small laptops. While its price seems a little high, you have to remember that it runs Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Windows Starter. You are also getting something that looks and feels better than most of the other small laptops on the market. We look forward to giving a thorough review soon.

Just purchased a silver version and I'm in the process of transferring files from my MSI netbook. The Sony machine is beautiful and fast. And quality. A great machine.
This is a great laptop, I disagree with the high price remark. It's well designed and got a heap of features that budget netbooks lack for only a few dollars less than this. As of March 2011, you won't find a better 11" windows notebook sold in Australia.
Purchased the green model for my daugher to use in the UK for her gap year, what a mistake. It stopped working 3 1/2 weeks after purchase and still no luck with getting it repaired. It has an international warranty but Sony UK don't seem to want to know anything about it. Buy another brand!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

How neat that you sold the first chicken pot pie in Knoxville! WHat would we do without frozen dinners today? My freezer is full of them! Jeff brings them to work on days he has to work late. I'm a big fan of frozen mac n cheese.

Good Morning DAD..
What MEMORIES your story of Swanson's TV Dinners brought forth. I remember my first TV dinner. I did not have it at home. It was at a friend's house one afternoon that my eyes grew bigger and brightened as her beautiful mother brought out dinner in a shining 3 compartment container and allowed us to eat it in front of the small tv. Just as we began to eat, Kate Smith began to see God Bless America. Our first bite was like a ceremony. You were quite the salesman. Even with my nagging, mother never bought them...probably too costly for us. It's been 60 years and though I have occasionally eaten a frozen pot pie or lasagna, they have never tasted as good. And now I have trouble buying them because of all the preservatives and sodium in them. Dessert that day was a MALLO cup...do you remember those?
On the way home from the beach yesterday we stopped at the Island Market and bought 2 florida grown tomatoes that turned out to be the best to grace my lips since the ones I got in the mail last August from a great guy in Knoxville.
Your sweet Mary will be in my thoughts today. I do hope the doctors have some positives for her. The weather is nice for the drive and she will have good company and beautiful views to help but a smile on her face. Remember your verse about WORRYING...stay peaceful and busy in your natural habitat. Have a lovely quiet day. ...Sara's Mom

Dr Andrea Furst
BSc GradDipSocSc (Psych)
MPsych (Sport & Exercise)
PhD (Psych)
Andrea completed a Master of Sport and Exercise Psychology at The University of Queensland and immediately developed a private practice. Andrea is the founding director of Mental Notes Consulting (MNC), and is dedicated to providing 'solutions for optimistic thinking'; specifically focusing on the psychological needs of sports people. MNC has several psychologists working together to promote the inclusion of psychological skills training into all levels of sporting performance.
MNC is a dynamic consultancy that has established itself as one of the leading providers of sport psychology services in Australia. MNC is based in South East Queensland, with professional suites in Brisbane as well as the Sunshine and Gold Coasts.
MNC has expanded into Asia with its headquarters in Singapore, where Andrea now resides. This is wonderful for athletes located in Asia as well as Australian athletes in transit between Australia and the rest of the world. Andrea consulted to Singapore Sports Council (SSC) for three years as their Head of Sport Psychology Unit. During her consultancy with SSC she worked with Singaporean national athletes and coaches from SingaporeSailing and Singapore Golf Association's Golf Excellence Program to integrate psychological skills into their training and competition. Andrea has recently increased her availability for private consultation in Singapore for sports and business performance.
Andrea consults to athletes of various ages, ability levels, and sports. In addition to her roles in Singapore, she is currently the sport psychologist for the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) flat water sprint kayak program. Prior to moving to Singapore Andrea serviced Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) golf, tennis, and athletics programs. Outside of the SSC, QAS, and AIS, Andrea consults to international, national, and state sporting organisations, schools and colleges, and private academies.
Andrea has been involved in two Olympic and Paralympic Games campaigns (2004 & 2008). The most recent being the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics where she worked with the Australian flat water sprint kayak team and the Australian 100m hurdler, as well as the SingaporeSailing team and a Mexican Laser Radial sailor at the Olympics, and with the Singapore swimming team at the Paralympics.
The golf clientele includes professional tour players from several international tours and elite amateurs, as well as consulting to Singapore Golf Association, Singapore Sports School, Singapore Ladies Golf Association, Women's Golf Queensland, Women's Golf Central Queensland, Women's Golf Australia, Queensland Golf Union, PGA of Australia, PGA Academy of Golf, and Queensland PGA.
The work involved with each of the various population groups includes individual consults, workshops, presentations, competition coverage, as well as high performance planning.

She also has experience in lecturing and tutoring sport and exercise psychology at Griffith University, Queensland University of Technology, and The University of Queensland. Andrea will begin lecturing at National University of Singapore in June 2011.
The similarities between the characteristics of elite athletic performance and corporate performance have led Andrea to adapt her professional skills to the corporate sector. She has undergone training to become qualified as a corporate performance coach. Previous to her current role Andrea worked in the health and fitness industry as a personal trainer focussing on health and fitness testing in addition to stress management and lifestyle planning.
Specialties: Andrea's specialty sports are golf, sailing, and tennis, however she has extensive working knowledge and experience with sports such as triathlon, swimming, kayaking, track and field, taekwondo, karate, horse racing, motor racing, motorcycle racing, rugby league, rugby, cricket, and soccer. Her passion is being part of the team of professionals assisting elite athletes to take their sport to the highest level. In addition to sport, Andrea adapts the principles of sport psychology to the performing arts and the life of everyday people who want to make changes and improvements to themselves. The majority of Andrea's clientele are considered to be 'high achievers' in a variety of performance domains and as such perfectionism is a hot topic!

NIST Cloud Computing Program
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics (On-demand self-service, Broad network access, Resource pooling, Rapid elasticity, Measured Service); three service models (Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS), Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS), Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)); and, four deployment models (Private cloud, Community cloud, Public cloud, Hybrid cloud). Key enabling technologies include: (1) fast wide-area networks, (2) powerful, inexpensive server computers, and (3) high-performance virtualization for commodity hardware.
The Cloud Computing model offers the promise of massive cost savings combined with increased IT agility. It is considered critical that government and industry begin adoption of this technology in response to difficult economic constraints. However, cloud computing technology challenges many traditional approaches to datacenter and enterprise application design and management. Cloud computing is currently being used; however, security, interoperability, and portability are cited as major barriers to broader adoption.
The long term goal is to provide thought leadership and guidance around the cloud computing paradigm to catalyze its use within industry and government. NIST aims to shorten the adoption cycle, which will enable near-term cost savings and increased ability to quickly create and deploy enterprise applications. NIST aims to foster cloud computing systems and practices that support interoperability, portability, and security requirements that are appropriate and achievable for important usage scenarios.
Draft Documents:
The NIST effort on cloud computing exists throughout ITL in many of divisions. The NCCP exists in the Advanced Networking and Technologies Division. In an effort to communicate the findings of the other divisions in ITL to the wider cloud computing community, we will occasionally post notices about their draft documents for comments. Here is an example from the ITL Information Access Division.
Organizations are increasingly adopting cloud-based services to meet their business needs. However, due to the complexity and diversity of cloud systems it is important to evaluate the user experience. This usability framework provides a structure to evaluate key attribute of the cloud user experience. We are requesting comments from the public on the framework.
Framework for Cloud Usability (Draft)
Written comments may be sent to Brian Stanton, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Dr., Stop 8940, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. Electronic comments may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Volume III was initiated in parallel, but is logically dependent on the technical work contained in Volume II, and will necessarily be completed and presented as part of the roadmap special publication in a subsequent release.

Abstract: Within the modern world, a conflict arises between the existence of "universal" and "local". The result of the struggle has been a fading of our local traditions and customs. Acknowledged as a vital component of our being and interpreted as the essence of culture, the "local" is seen as an endangered resource. This proposes the question of how, can, and does architecture sustain a (the local) culture? To explore the question, this thesis uses the architectural program type of the library as the vehicle of study. A programmatic and spatial diagram of the library is applied to three different towns within a similar climate and geographical region. The towns of Alexandria, VA, and Chestertown and Cumberland, MD were chosen because each one possesses a strong sense of place and identity. Using the theories of regionalism, each town is analyzed to investigate the nuances of the culture. The process of design begins with the acknowledgment and understanding of the existing pattern of development. The understanding leads to an interpretative and transformative process to reveal a dialog between "Universal" and "Local". The architecture of each library reflects the characteristics innate to a library as it embodies the relevance of the local culture. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Design for Disaster Displacement http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15872 Title: Design for Disaster Displacement Authors: Kandigian, Christine Abstract: Due to the increase in occurrence of natural disasters, it is imperative for our society to learn to maintain resiliency, while also preparing for the aftermath of a disaster. The major tasks of this proposal include providing emergency and permanent housing, within a condensed timeframe to a medium density while providing communal spaces and activities for long term use. New York City, the epicenter of the region and the country, can be catastrophically damaged by an earthquake or hurricane, particularly because of the density of population and lack of awareness of seismic risk. The quality of pre-disaster planning immediately results in a more successful post-disaster reconstruction, which directly impacts the future resiliency of the community. In order to decrease the timeframe between the disaster, emergency response, the relief phase, and the recovery of the community, a new building assembly system must be developed to solve this problem. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z D[Constructing Architecture] http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15515 Title: D[Constructing Architecture] Authors: King, Marques Gilbert Abstract: Cites are in a constant state of flux. The progression of time through the centuries has yielded numerous examples of entire transformations of a given city's economic, environmental, social, and cultural structures which in turn shape the physical city. In some instances those structures are allowed juxtapose themselves against each other creating a beautiful palimpsest. In other instances those layers are lost due to the changing forces of the city. As a result the narrative and the image of the city is lost. Where this is most applicable is in the context of shrinking cities. This thesis proposal will seek to explore ways in which the retention of a city's physical history and its memory can be reconciled within the context of a shrinking city. It will question, challenge and hopefully transcend current themes in historic preservation and adaptive-use taking a critical approach toward structures and systems that have lost their reason for being. The testing ground for this proposal is Detroit, Michigan. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Urban Interventions: Architecture as a mechanism of inclusion http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15514 Title: Urban Interventions: Architecture as a mechanism of inclusion Authors: Uechi, Carolina Abstract: In the rapidly urbanizing world, it may seem normal to hear that while only 2% of the earth's surface is occupied by cities, 53% of the world's population lives in cities. What may seem alarming however is the fact that of that 53%, 33% of city dwellers today actually live in slums. To place matters into a more unsettling perspective, it is estimated that by 2030 over 2 billion people will live in slums. With this comes a sense of urgency: how do we respond as architects to these realities? The context of this thesis is based on what Jorge Jauregui calls the broken city: that is, the "tension between the so-called `formal' urbanization and `informal' areas of uncontrolled sprawl." This realization makes the possibility of interventions in these types of places particularly complex: how does design adapt to the logics that exist in place while allowing for a more connected city? Can architecture act as a mechanism of inclusion rather than exclusion, thus extending the right to the city to all? This thesis therefore investigates the various means by which architecture and urban infrastructure might be introduced into an urban informal settlement in Buenos Aires with minimal disruption of the "logics" of the place. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

The New York Islanders return home to the Nassau Coliseum for a 7p.m. puck drop Saturday to take on their longtime rival the New Jersey Devils. This will be the fourth of five meetings between the two this year. The Devils a have won two of the three previous matchups, including the most recent, a 6-1 triumph on Coliseum ice back on March 1st. (Photo credit: paul.hadsall/flickr).
The Flyers, and seemingly everyone else in the Wells Fargo Center, thought they had just completed yet another third period comeback.
With 40.1 seconds left and goaltender Steve Mason sitting on the bench for an extra attacker, it appeared that the Flyers had tied the game at two; however, the goal was immediately waived off by the referee who explained that the goal was disallowed due to contact made by Scott Hartnell with Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur.
After a review, the call stood and amid a chorus of boos, the final 40 seconds ticked off the clock and ended a disappointing game for the Flyers in which they dropped 2-1 to the Devils on Tuesday.
The first day of the new month was one the Islanders would like to forget having been defeated 5-1 by the New Jersey Devils at home this afternoon. The game was overall a poor performance and one like this that hasn't been seen from the Islanders in almost two months.
If Tuesday was bad, Thursday made things leagues worse.
Two deflected point shots proved to be the difference as the New Jersey Devils defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0. That win evens the season series and may act as some sort of revenge countering a 1-0 Flyers win on Saturday.
In what could be labeled as a perfect road game, the Devils allowed just three clear cut scoring chances all game. Fans continually booed lacking effort from Philadelphia's orange-clad hockey players.
Two offensively challenged teams will meet up in Philadelphia trying to turn around two atrocious seasons through 14 games. Scoring may come at a premium tonight in a battle of Mason vs. Brodeur.
In sports, the phrase "injuries are part of the game" is used quite often. However, the popular phrase took on a whole new meaning for the Philadelphia Flyers during the shortened 2012-2013 regular season.
To put things into perspective, the Flyers lost 264 man games to injury or illness.
Some things were known heading into the season such the fact that defenseman Chris Pronger wouldn't see any action as he recovers from a concussion. The Flyers didn't have quite as much depth at the forward position as they did the season prior.

Steve Mason is continuing his strong case as the Flyers top goaltender for next season.
On a night honoring the city of Boston with pregame festivities, auctioned jerseys and a rousing edition of "Sweet Carolina," Mason stole the show to stone the Bruins and give the Flyers a huge win.
Mason stopped 39 shots for his third win in a Flyers jersey, leading the Flyers to a 5-2 win Tuesday night.

The Flyers will honor the city of Boston tonight with patches, decals and donations. But it will all be business once the puck drops against one of their inter-division rivals.
The Flyers found themselves in a tough position this past offseason, and that was whether to re-sign Jaromir Jagr or not.
The cons of bringing back the 41-year-old right winger out-weighed the pros for the Flyers front office at the time and the decided to part ways with the future Hall of Famer. They were concerned about his age and health during another long season, two factors the Flyers saw first-hand during the 2011-12 season.
Unfortunately for them, they made their decision before it was known there would be a 48-game season as opposed to the normal 82-game schedule due to a lockout and it may have cost the Flyers big time.
Jagr made his decision where to go in the off season, signing with the Dallas Stars for a one-year, $4.55 million back in July, well before it was even known what fate the 2012-2013 season would have.

The New York Islanders dream of a post season got a little closer to becoming reality as the Isles held off an early Boston Bruins push to defeat Boston 2-1 in the TD Garden.
Josh Bailey had both Islanders goals and Evgeni Nabokov stopped 30 of 31 Bruins shots for the victory.
