iPad Game Review: Civilization Revolution for iPad
Reviewed by Tom Slayton
Civilization Revolution (Civ Rev) is an adaptation of the classic Civilization series of computer games. This franchise is arguably the gold standard for turn-based strategy games and epitomizes 4X games (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate). While video gamers' insatiable appetite for fast-paced and twitchy games has driven most of the strategy genre headlong into the realm of real-time; Civ Rev takes the road less traveled. The goal is to make your civilization the dominant one either through diplomatic, cultural, technological, or military means. You will begin in the classical age and as you progress through the centuries, you will found cities, research technologies, build improvements, develop military units, and wage war.
First, you must choose the type of map you want to play on. This menu is a bit misleading as you are given the choice between a random map and a ?scenario.? This is slightly confusing as even the scenarios have randomly generated maps. The difference is that they come with an additional set of parameters that serve to further customize the game experience. Additionally, there is an opportunity to create your own scenario in case you want to mix and match these variables in a way that is not offered. Next you are given the chance to select your leader. As each leader comes with its own set of bonuses and handicaps, careful selection can make a big difference in each game. This is not to say that there are any wrong choices, but if you are the warmongering sort, you wouldn?t be doing yourself any favors by selecting Ghandi, for example.
The actual game begins with a single city occupied by one military unit. Here you begin to develop and fortify your city, and set your initial research priorities. This is all accomplished by a row of icons on the right side of the screen. Their graphics are somewhat unintuitive; however you can?t do any harm by pressing them randomly and exploring, so I encourage you to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the interface. There is also a fairly comprehensive tutorial that is automatically triggered by selecting the lowest difficulty level. After playing the game for 6-8 hours, I can honestly say that it has that wonderful ?just-one-more-turn? feel to it, that is the hallmark of a good strategy game. Additionally, the AI difficulty ramps up slowly so even players new to the genre won?t feel desperately outmatched in their first game. These developers seem to understand how important that first game really is.
My only real complaint with this game is its lack of waypoints. Each newly created unit must be individually dragged to its destination, which can be tedious toward the end game. Also, veterans of the Civilization series of games will not be able to rely on their years of experience as many of the city improvements and technological advances have different effects than their PC counterparts.
The graphics have been completely re-rendered for the iPad, resulting in a very polished look and feel. Additionally, the text is crisp and clear, and the animations are smooth. Everything is drawn in "2D" and will not exactly push your iPad to its limits. However, in the world of mobile gaming, this is a good thing as 3D graphics tend to be battery hogs.
Although Civ Rev has been ported to every major video game system, it does not feel like a port. The interface takes full advantage of the iPad's touch screen and it feels like it was built from the ground up with the device in mind. From the menus to unit movement, any iPad user will feel right at home with this game.
The sounds in Civ Rev are a mixed-bag of nicely done beeps, whirls, and clicks, each of which have a particular meaning and are meant to cue the player in some way. There are also ambient sounds, battle sounds, city building sounds, fanfares, etc. All of these are well-done and appropriate, although not particularly memorable. Lastly, there is no in-game music, nor is there an option to play your own music.
Civilization Revolution is a great turn-based strategy game, with depth, variety, and replayability. Its streamlined gameplay manages to honor its roots while at the same time making the game accessible to mobile gamers.
While I have heard reports of crash bugs, I have never encountered one. Your mileage may vary.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: - 4 -
Clean, crisp 2D graphics that won?t suck your battery dry.
Sound: - 4 -
Good use of sound effects to cue the player and provide a sense of immersion. No music, although with a game this long, any looped music would get old fast.
Controls: - 5 -
Excellent use of the iPad?s touch screen. Buttons graphics are not always intuitive, although they are organized well and easy to learn as you play.
Gameplay: - 5 -
Captures that ?just-one-more-turn? feeling that is the hallmark of a good turn-based strategy game. I found myself looking forward to the next time I could play.

Playing Hints and Tips:
-At the beginning of the game, send your unit out exploring to give yourself an early advantage. In the lower difficulty levels, barbarians rarely attack your city in the first 20-30 turns.
-Protect your veteran combat units as experience will make them stronger and consequently more valuable.
-Don't forget to build "wonders" as they can provide huge bonuses to the civilization that owns them. Make sure you protect them, though!

If you are a registered City of Grand Junction voter, your recent mail included a notice of the upcoming April 2 election as it relates to Referred Measure B.
As a reminder this is the request from the City Council to keep any funds in excess of limits imposed by the TABOR amendment. They wish to keep the money and apply it to specific infrastructure improvements, which they lead us to believe cannot otherwise be accomplished.
As a skeptic I would point out we have been told previously that the library, police station, and fire department could not be accomplished without a self-imposed tax increase. All were accomplished or are in the process of being completed. These facts should be sufficient to make current claims dubious.
OK, the mailer points out this is not a tax increase so maybe some would challenge the direct comparison to the above projects. Regardless of tax increase or no tax increase, it has to do with a request that we provide them additional funds for specific purposes.
As per usual we are told there are no available funds to satisfy their needs. Cynically, we may think that if we let them have these monies, it will merely allow them more to waste on otherwise questionable projects. The mailer includes a summary of written comments FOR Referred Measure B. There is no summary of written comments AGAINST Referred Measure B since 100% of Grand Junction citizens opposed to the Measure failed to file any comment "by the constitutional deadline."
Since there is no apparent opposition, let us review the comments in favor of Referred Measure B.
• "We need to keep our tax dollars local - 40% of possible refund would go to non-locals."
Actually, City Council will determine precisely how refunds shall be made. Let us insist they refund overpayments in a manner that returns the maximum amount to local taxpayers.
• "We need to invest in the economic future of the City."
Of course, we need to invest in our City but does that truism impact this discussion?
• "Each $1 in capital investment in our community generates an estimated $1.75 in jobs, wages and spending."
One is always amazed when driving by these civic improvement projects at the number of jobs being completed by out-of-town workers and contractors who take their wages and profits out of town and out of Mesa County.
• "This is not a new tax and there is no new debt proposed."
While technically true, if you allow the City to keep taxes you have paid above and beyond those due, are you not increasing your taxes? It is equal to allowing the IRS to keep your tax refund and at the same time claim you have not paid more taxes.
• "This is not a repeal or permanent change of TABOR."
Why not? All local politicians fear political suicide should they dare propose a "permanent change of TABOR" and yet, do not fail to request an override of its provisions seemingly every time it accomplishes what it was intended to accomplish, i.e. limit the amount of funds available to a bloated government bureaucracy.
Maybe it is time for them to acknowledge the obvious; they really do not support TABOR but only support the small government sound bites it creates.
These thoughts are not presented as absolutes. They are presented to encourage you to look more closely at Measure B, look at how City funds (that maybe could have been available for these projects) have been spent, and ask your own questions and determine your path on this issue.

MyPlate Food Group Review: Vegetables
MyPlate is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) current food guide, which empowers consumers to learn about and maintain diets rich in the five necessary food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy. Here we review some of the USDA's guidelines and tips for incorporating vegetables into your diet.
Delish is working with the Partnership for a Healthier America and USDAs MyPlate to give anyone looking for healthier options access to thousands of recipes that will help them create healthy, tasty plates. For more information about creating a healthy plate, visit choosemyplate.gov. Find recipes at pinterest.com/MyPlateRecipes.
What Foods Are in the Vegetable Group?
You can enjoy veggies in a variety of forms: raw, cooked, frozen, canned, dried, or dehydrated. Juices that are 100 percent vegetable are also valid entries in the MyPlate Vegetable group.
The vegetable group is divided into five subgroups: dark green vegetables (broccoli, kale, etc.); starchy vegetables (corn, potatoes, etc.); red and orange vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.); beans and peas (black beans, lentils, etc.); and other (artichokes, cucumbers, etc.).

Loving Louisville
When The Voice-Tribune staff sat down to think of a way to outdo all of our previous bridal issues they came up with the theme: "What 'marries' you to your city?"
To complete the issue, The Voice-Tribune's Lauren DePaso and Lee Vish spent hours in the hot sun helping photographer Josh Merideth of Bella Grace Studios shoot at locations all around the city.
"We knew that when brainstorming about The Voice's bridal issue, we had to come up with something really unique," DePaso said. "Unique to us meant straying away from typical bride/groom poses – Lee came up with the theme 'What Marries Us to Our City' and the mascot idea soon followed."
The shoot featured photos of models from Heyman Talent, who were dressed in designer gowns from Couture Closet, Bridal Suite of Louisville and Bridal Warehouse.
Thanks to inspiration from ESPN and the Louisville Zoo's new ad campaign involving zoo mascots, Vish thought a photo shoot with some of Louisville's best-known characters would be a great addition to the wedding issue. And lucky for him, he got to wear some of the costumes – while standing out in the 90-degree heat.
"Dressing up like a mascot was new to me," Vish said. "I had to dress up as 3 (mascots): the Bellarmine Knight, Tundra the Louisville Zoo polar bear, and the Early Times Mint Julep cup. It was fun but hot!"
Covered head to toe in fur, Vish had quite an interesting experience during the photo shoot at the Louisville Zoo, which by the way, was held on a 98-degree afternoon.
"I was not allowed to remove my 'head' or speak," Vish said. "Children were punching me and tugging on me. I have a new respect for mascots. Additionally, the brown bears thought I was real, and I was unsure how strong the glass was at the zoo."
Though a stampede of children and hungry bears staring through glass can be quite intimidating, Vish took one for the team and helped the photographer, Josh Merideth, capture stunning photos at the zoo.
DePaso also had her fair share of challenges, lugging around what seemed to her like a 50-pound wedding dress on the day of the photo shoot at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. All the hard work paid off, though, once DePaso came face to face with one of her local sports heroes: University of Louisville head coach Charlie Strong.
"Being a UofL fan, I'd have to say standing on the 50-yard line with the Cardinal Bird himself, then walking inside the training facility to cool off and running into Charlie Strong was all surreal," DePaso said.
As for Vish, one of the highlights of the experience came from the photo shoot of UK's mascot. "As a UofL fan, (my favorite moment was) watching the Wildcat lay down in Main Street," Lee joked. "Too far?"
But in all seriousness, Vish said the best thing about the photo shoot was watching it all come together with an enormous help from the community. "We did not get one 'no,' " Vish said. "All of our asks were granted from borrowing the mascots, getting dresses, models, hair and makeup (by J. Michael's Salon), to flowers from Colonial Designs. This showed we picked the right theme. Everyone loves their city."

Every Teacher a Peace Teacher
Page 2
With a nod to Gandhi's idea, I ask my students to create their own constructive programmes. Find a problem in the world around you, I tell them, and then create its solution. Further freeing them from traditional academia, I liberate the grade book and allow them to assign themselves a grade. They dive in, and create some powerful actions.
- One student handed out copies of Gene Sharp's revolutionary (and in some countries, illegal) 198 Methods of Nonviolent Action to people on the streets.
- One student created dialogue between two opposing groups—the mayor and some frustrated citizens.
- One student served vegetarian pizza to the homeless community in town.
- One student planted a garden.
- One student began providing food and clean water to migrant workers crossing the brutal desert. She was arrested for her work.
- One student began collecting long-distance phone cards for U.S. troops overseas.
- One student forgave her enemy.
- One student began to pray and meditate regularly.
Schools do not have to create a formal Peace Studies course. Just like writing or note-taking, it is an academic skill that can be infused into almost any current course.
But when schools do formalize a Peace Studies program, the door opens wider. At the university where I teach Peace Studies, students read a biography of Gandhi and then Michael Nagler's formative The Search for a Nonviolent Future. We spend many days wrestling over the practice of forgiveness before measuring the effect inner peace has on external circumstances. Understanding the practice of war-making consumes several weeks, as we examine the media's role in promoting war, the reasons why war gives us meaning (in the words of Chris Hedges), and also a presentation from local U.S. Army colonels.
Peace Studies does not shirk away from opposing viewpoints. It does not practice partisanship. The study of peace is radical in that all are welcome, for peace is about more than politics. I can teach for months without ever speaking about George Bush and Barack Obama or red and blue states. Peace Studies gets underneath the surface, going deeper into what it means to be human.
And that's why so many students cram into my classroom to take these courses. Not because of me, but because they are so hungry to study peace.

Think foreign policy is just for politicians? These people can change your mind.
"I Understand What Making Peace Is All About''
A few years ago, a student of mine who delved as deeply into understanding peace as anyone I've ever taught was participating in a march for reproductive rights in Washington. Thousands were there, including the counter-protestors shouting from the barricaded sidewalk. One man in particular caught her attention.
"Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!'' he shouted, staring right at her.
Breathing deeply, she put down her sign (it read: "Equal Rights for All") and walked over to him, smiling softly. She put her arms around him and hugged. Then she walked back, picked up her sign and kept marching.
The story does not end here. Months later, at another march, she spotted him again. Again, she was marching, he was shouting. But their eyes locked, and in that moment, all the animosity melted away. He stopped shouting. He softened. He may have even smiled.
"It was in that moment that I understood what making peace was all about,'' she later told me.
And that is why I teach peace.

Our annual McElroy Lecture provides a forum for prominent thinkers and leaders to address fundamental issues of law, religion, and society. It seeks to educate students, legal professionals, and the public on a variety of questions related to moral philosophy, freedom of conscience, the interaction of legal and religious institutions, and the role of religion in public life. Its goal is to encourage discussion of these issues in our community and deepen our understanding of them. This year's lecturer is Professor Nelson Tebbe of Brooklyn Law School. His topic is "Religion and Reflective Equilibrium: A New Approach To Religious Freedom Law." The lecture will be held on Wednesday, March 4, from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. in Room 226 of the School of Law, followed by a complimentary reception in the atrium.

On Friday, December 5, UDM Law hosted a Legal Writing Institute Workshop with the topic, "Reaching, Teaching, and Employing Today's Evolving Law Student." The event was co-hosted by University of Windsor Faculty of Law.
Law students are changing. Most are from the "Millennial" and "Next Gen" generations, which approach the world, the use of technology, and the idea of collaboration and social interaction differently than previous generations. Students also are coming from increasingly diverse backgrounds, including those for whom English is not a first language and foreign-trained lawyers who are seeking advanced degrees from U.S. and Canadian law schools.
This conference provided a forum for educators and practitioners to better understand today's evolving law students and to discuss how teachers, employers, and students might change in order to keep pace with this evolution but also stay true to legitimate legal discourse and community expectations.
During the workshop, UDM Law Professor Pamela V. Lysaght ('90) received an award presented by UDM Law Dean Phyllis L. Crocker for her many years of dedicated service to the legal writing community. Linda L. Berger, President of the Legal Writing Institute, made special remarks recognizing Professor Lysaght, also.
Alison F. Duffy ('08) of Michigan Auto Law, Christopher J. Harrington ('06) of Law Office of James J, Harrington III, PLC, and Frank D. Paolini ('12) of Plunkett Cooney, PC, have been selected for the Michigan Lawyers Weekly Class of 2014 "Up & Coming Lawyers" awards program, which recognizes attorneys who have spent less than a decade in practice, but display the ambition, drive, determination, and accomplishments to set them apart among their peers. These alumni were nominated by their peers and will be honored at a special luncheon on Dec. 11 at the Detroit Marriott in Troy.

The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest single day in the American Civil War - and in all American history. Just twelve hours of fighting resulted in nearly 23,000 casualties. Seventeen months after it began, the war had reached a decisive moment. Two determined armies had gathered near Sharpsburg, a quiet backwater near Antietam Creek in western Maryland. The forces of the Union were desperate to repel the South's invasion of their territory. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, its back to the Potomac river, was fighting for its very existence. Much was at stake. But just why was Antietam such a terrible killing field? Now the latest forensic techniques are shedding new light on the question.

It was a historic moment for the Catholic Church when Pope Francis visited his predecessor Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
The current and former pontiffs met Saturday at Castel Gandolfo, the summer villa where Benedict is living temporarily. Since resigning last month he is the first pope to give up the throne of the Church in 600 years.
This is also first such meeting in the church's recorded history, since a new pope is usually only elected after his predecessor's death.
Vatican officials say Francis told Benedict "we're brothers" before praying together on the same kneeler. Beyond that, officials would not comment on what the two men discussed during their 45 minute meeting in the library, but Francis did present Benedict with a gift -- an icon of Our Lady of Humility.
In the coming weeks Benedict is expected to move from Castel Gandolfo to a converted monastery in the Vatican gardens.

Sebastian Vettel finally followed up on a Canadian GP pole position with the race victory, dominating Sunday's 70-lap grand prix.
The Red Bull racer started from pole position for the third time at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. However, unlike in previous seasons, this Sunday he secured his first Canadian GP win. He took the chequered flag 14.4s ahead of Championship rival Fernando Alonso while lapping everyone up to the fifth-placed driver.
Lewis Hamilton kept Alonso's Ferrari at bay until Lap 63, while Mark Webber brought his RB9 home in fourth place despite a damaged front wing courtesy of an errant Caterham
Race Report
Despite the gloomy forecasts of a showery race day, Montreal was in bright sunshine, with just a few scudding clouds and only a 40% chance of rain. The ambient temperature was 23C and the track up at a dizzying 29C.
As qualifying had been run with Intermediate tyres the grid had a free choice of Pirellis for the race. The front of the grid went for the SuperSoft tyres while Di Resta, Perez and Grosjean opted for the medium tyre - and possibly a one-stop race.
Grid:1. Vettel, 2. Hamilton, 3.Bottas, 4.Rosberg, 5.Webber, 6.Alonso, 7.Vergne, 8.Sutil, 9.Hulkenberg, 10.Raikkonen, 11.Ricciardo, 12.Perez 13.Maldonado 14.Button, 15.Gutierrez, 16.Massa, 17.Di Resta, 18.Pic, 19.Bianchi 20.Chilton, 21.van der Garde, 22 Grosjean
As the lights went out everyone got off the line well with Nico Rosberg going one side of Bottas and Webber going the other into Turn 1. Alonso tried to follow through on the way down to Turn 3 but Bottas managed to fend him off on the first lap till the final chicane
Positions at the end of Lap 1
1.Vettel, 2. Hamilton, 3.Rosberg, 4.Webber, 5.Alonso, 6.Bottas, 7.Vergne, 8.Sutil, 9.Ricciardo, 10.Raikkonen, 11.Hulkenberg, 12.Perez 13.Maldonado 14.Massa, 15.Button
By Lap 2 Vettel had already established a 2.8 second gap, by Lap 3 it was a 3.2 second lead, and by Lap 4 it was up to 3.8 seconds.
With higher downforce settings Bottas had developed a train of cars and on Lap 6 Jean-Eric Vergne managed to get past the engine driver. Next up was Adrian Sutil and as they ran down to Turns 3 and 4 Sutil tried to get up the inside of Bottas. The Williams driver - whose target was to get into the points, didn't want to give up so many places so quickly. He held his line as the Force India spun and executed a 360-degree spin without hitting anything - the following train of cars all nipped through on the grass down to P13 Massa.
Pastor Maldonado compounded Sutil's difficulties by braking late into the Casino hairpin and hitting the back of the Force India losing large chunks of wing and making Sutil's rear wing at risk for the rest of the race.
Felipe Massa continued his charge from P16 on the grid and on Lap 8 he managed to get past Perez. By Lap 10 he was past Hulkenberg into P10. At the same time, cameras were showing replays of Vettel hitting the wall at the exit of Turn 5 in his efforts to open up a gap. By Lap 11 it was 6.5 seconds and a lap later it was 7.4 seconds.
Mark Webber was the first of the frontrunners to pit at the end of Lap 13. A lap later and Rosberg was in along with Bottas. Vettel pitted at the end of Lap 16 together with Alonso. Webber kept station behind Rosberg after the pit-stops, and Alonso dropped to 4.8 seconds behind the Red Bull after his stop. Lewis Hamilton concluded the set of stops on Lap 19.
Positions on Lap 20
1.Vettel, 2. Hamilton, 3.Rosberg, 4.Webber, 5.Alonso, 6.Raikkonen (not stopped), 7.Vergne, 8.Di Resta (not stopped), 9.Grosjean (not stopped), 10.Button (not stopped) 11. Sutil, 12.Massa, 13.Bottas
When it all shook out Vettel had an 11.6 gap at the front, while Lewis Hamilton had 3.7 seconds on Nico Rosberg.
With cars in front not stopping, Felipe Massa found himself back in P12 and behind a stubbornly resisting Adrian Sutil who kept the Ferrari at bay despite the double DRS of the back straight and the start/finish straight. The duel continued from Lap 22 through 23, 24, 25 and 26 - the Force India delaying what seemed inevitable.
There was another close battle developing between P3, P4 and P5 as Nico Rosberg started to hold up Mark Webber allowing Fernando Alonso to close in. On Lap 26 Rosberg braked so early for the final chicane that it delayed Webber and almost allowed Alonso to get the jump on Mark in the following straight.
Up in front, by Lap 29 Vettel had a massive lead of 16.9 seconds, with Hamilton a further 8.7 seconds in front of Rosberg with Webber 0.2 back and Alonso 0.2 behind him.
Finally on Lap 30 Mark Webber got almost alongside Rosberg on the exit of the Casino hairpin, so that when the DRS became active on the back straight he was close enough to make an easy pass. Alonso followed him through on the following straight and was up to P4 on Lap 31. Rosberg pitted.
Such was the pace of the front five that Rosberg could pit from fifth place before half distance and exit still in P5.
Mark Webber wanted to lose the pesky persistent Ferrari behind him and break the DRS gap. On Lap 32 he set a fastest lap at 1:18.375. Compare that to the 1:19.916 that Paul DiResta put in on 32-lap-old tyres - the Scot had still not stopped!
We had some Finn vs Finn action on Lap 34 as Kimi Raikkonen ran side by side with Bottas through Turn 3 and survived. This was all done right in front of Sebastian Vettel who lost three seconds from his lead that lap as a result of having to follow cars that weren't seemingly shown the blue flag. At the same time Lewis Hamilton reported over team radio that his DRS wing had stopped working in both zones.
Positions on Lap 34
1.Vettel, 2. Hamilton, 3.Webber, 4.Alonso, 5.Rosberg, 6.Vergne, 7.Di Resta (not stopped), 8.Grosjean (not stopped), 9.Sutil, 10.Massa, 11.Perez, 12.Bottas, 13.Raikkonen
Fernando Alonso started to push on Lap 36 and reset the Fastest Lap. He was 2.0 behind Mark Webber who came upon the dawdling Caterham of Giedo van der Garde at the Casino hairpin who swung out wide as though he were going to let Webber through. He then cut across him and ripped the front wing endplate off the Red Bull. It deserved more than the drive-through penalty that van der Garde got, if the blue flag had indeed been shown to the Dutchman.
Alonso saw this as his chance to take P3 and on Lap 37 set another Fastest Lap a 1:18.009 which was almost matched by Webber with a 1:18.075. It was all go. Mark Webber set a Fastest Lap on Lap 38 with a 1:17.934 and Alonso responded with a 1:17.844.
Vettel got in on the act on Lap 39 with a 1:17.795 and Alonso edged under it with a 1:17.726.At this stage of the race, the notorious car breaker of the Canadian GP had no retirements and no Safety Car appearance. Vettel had a lead of 16.4 seconds, Hamilton had 7.4 seconds over Webber who had Alonso 0.5 in arrears. Rosberg was now a massive 27.4 seconds behind in P5 and on Lap 39 Di Resta had still not pitted.
With his front wing damaged, Mark Webber couldn't resist Alonso forever and by Lap 41 Fernando worked a strategy of KERS and DRS to get past the Red Bull into Turn 1. He didn't reel Hamilton in automatically and by Lap 45 the gap had gone out to 8.9 seconds.
Vettel was enjoying himself at the front setting Fastest laps on Laps 42, 46 and 47.
Hulkenberg and van der Garde then contrived an accident at the end of the backstraight with the Sauber driver passing the Caterham and then moving over on him too much in the braking zone for the final chicane and braking the Caterham front wing and ruining the Sauber's suspension in the process. Van der Garde dragged his front wing round the circuit for half a lap before stopping. Hulkenberg parked up in the Turn 3 escape road. The first two retirements of the race.
Between Laps 46 and 49 all the front runners came in for their final stops:
Positions on Lap 50
1.Vettel, 2.Hamilton, 3.Alonso, 4.Webber, 5.Rosberg, 6.Vergne (one stop) 7.Di Resta (not stopped), 8.Sutil, 9.Raikkonen (one stop), 10.Grosjean (one stop) 11.Massa, 12.Perez, 13.Button (one stop).
Vettel had an unassailable lead of 18.4 seconds, but Hamilton was just 5.7 in front of Alonso. Vettel lost three seconds of that lead by running straight on at Turn 1 and rejoining the track via the tarmac road.
The gap between Alonso and Hamilton came down steadily: 5.7, 4.6, 3.9, 3.4, 2.7, 1.9 and on Lap 56 the gap was just 1.4 seconds. What Hamilton didn't need was a succession of backmarkers failing to get out of his way - the worst offender being Adrian Sutil who was shown multiple blue flags and got a drive-through penalty for his troubles, demoting him from P8 to P10.
Paul DiResta finally pitted on Lap 56 but could do nothing about the Toro Rosso of Jean-Eric Vergne who was able to make a pit-stop in response and keep in front of the Force India driver.
Alonso finally closed down and passed a dogged Hamilton on Lap 63. By this stage they had both shaken off Mark Webber who was soldiering on with a broken wing - it went unchanged when he had his second pit-stop on Lap 46. Despite the pass, Hamilton stayed on Alonso's tail within the DRS zone and was so close on Lap 64 that when Alonso braked early for the final chicane (the Rosberg manoeuvre of earlier) , the Mercedes slightly nerfed the Ferrari and lost an element off the front wing. Alonso then pulled away.
Raikkonen had gone for a one-stop strategy and had been lapped early on. At the close he was caught by two-stopping Felipe Massa on fresher tyres and had to surrender his P8 to the Brazilian. Massa had been stymied for a while because the DRS had been disabled. Double waved yellows covered the extraction of Gutierrez's Sauber after it went straight on into the tyre barriers at the exit of the pitlane at Turn 2. When DRS was enabled Massa was soon past.
There was a flurry of Fastest Laps on the penultimate lap as Alonso stayed just 1.6 seconds in front of Hamilton. He put in a 1:16.203 that was beaten by Mark Webber's 1:16.182, but he was not threatening Lewis's P3.
Ahead of them, Sebastian Vettel sailed across the line to give Red Bull their first win in North America, with Alonso and Hamilton making it three World Champions on the podium and none in the champions' wall. Webber was an unlucky P4 and Rosberg a colossal distance back - 43.9 seconds after a precautionary third pitstop - in P5.
Jean-Eric Vergne scored his best finish with P6 and Paul Di Resta achieved an amazing P7. Massa had an adventurous afternoon to finish P8 while Raikkonen in P9 equalled Michael Schumacher's record of 24 consecutive points finishes. Adrian Sutil took P10 despite the drive-through.
Valtteri Bottas could only manage P14 from his P3 grid position and was not obliged to swim in the Montreal lake, as he had promised if he scored a point.

Central claims second straight sectional
FORT WAYNE – Before beating Jay County in its regular season finale, Adams Central had dipped to a season high six games below the .500 mark and hardly looked like a team poised to make a postseason run.
The Jets then pounded Jay County and carried that momentum into the Bishop Luers Class 2A baseball sectional, winning three straight to claim the sectional championship for the second straight season.
The Jets (12-14-1) beat Bluffton 6-5 Friday night, topped Luers 4-3 in the semi-finals Monday morning, and capped of their tournament run with a 5-1 win over Woodlan in the championship game Monday night.

MOUNT VERNON, Va. - Everyone knows George Washington was a great military leader and the father of our country.
But did you know he was a huge dog lover?
George Washington's Mount Vernon home held a 90-minute walking tour for guests and their dogs, called "All the President's Pups," on Saturday morning.
Mount Vernon spokeswoman Melissa Wood says the tour teaches about Washington's many dogs and about his home life. "I think it's a great way for Washingtonians to get out and bring their dogs and learn a little history," she says.
Cindy Kiesel brought her two dogs to the tour: Bailey, a mutt, and Liesel, who is part basset hound. "I love it," she says. "It's a great idea and it's fun and it's a beautiful day for it."
Two-year old Indy, a schnauzer mix who's a rescue, is here with his two owners, Lisa Jones and Eric Jones. Lisa says she didn't know Washington was a big dog person until she read about the tour. She says, "It was a surprise but in a good way."
Gail Cassidy, special projects interpreter at Mount Vernon, was Saturday's tour guide. She says Washington had many breeds of dogs at Mount Vernon during his lifetime, but not all of them lived outside. Terrier types, she says, lived inside the mansion.
Cassidy says Washington used dogs, not cats, to keep rats from eating the food that was stored in the basement. She says, "If you've ever see a rat terrier grab a rat, you know they are very good at what they do."
Even though Washington owned many types of dogs, he was an avid hunter, so he had an affinity for hounds. It's said he went fox hunting several times a week.
As an expert farmer, Washington knew about animal breeding and husbandry. He established a new breed of hunting dog that he referred to as the Virginia hound. The names of his hound dogs, such as Sweet Lips, Madame Moose and Vulcan, show a different side of Washington.
The American Kennel Club credits Washington with helping develop the American Foxhound. Wood says you can thank George for the state dog of Virginia which is the American Foxhound.
"George Washington was the father of the American hound," Wood says.
Although there are dogs living on the estate today, Wood says none are descendants from Washington's time.
The "All the President's Pups" walking tour is being offered Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. through the end of June.

Atelier Tekuto's goal for the project was to utilize an environmentally friendly building material that was not limited or hindered by the economy. They focused their attention on soil and researched methods and techniques that improved its strength. By adding magnesium oxide to natural clay soil, they increased the strength and longevity of the material so much so that it can pass Japanese structural standards. Magnesium oxide is produced almost everywhere in the world, is non-toxic (it's even used as a food additive), and it can safely return to the ground.
In 2008, Atelier Tekuto started the Earth Block Project, which drew together universities, corporate entities, and specialists to develop a 100% natural earth brick that could be used anywhere. Clay soil is very common throughout the world, and bricks can easily be produced in factories or even by hand. Handmade bricks can be stronger than concrete masonry, and they can be made locally with local materials.
Atelier Tekuto designed and built a single family residence with 2,600 bricks as a testament to their architectural viability. All of the work to create the material – including mixing the ingredients, sourcing the soil, and manually making the bricks – was completed in the same prefecture. A volunteer staff of 4-6 people can make about 30 bricks a day, each of which weighs 20 kilos. Because of building codes, the house also required 400 mm thick walls, a supportive wall every 10 meters, and a top beam of concrete or steel. The home also features glass blocks below the roof line, LVL layered veeners, and a terrazzo floor.

Thanks very much for the publication and information. I am an architect from Argentina, and since years ago do research on sustainability of construction materials, and of course, we investigated solid bricks and masonry. My commnet is that, even though earth and clay are all around the world, they are non-renewable natural resources, and more, solid bricks need fertile soli to achieved good quality. We already have a serious problem regarding the progressive degradation of our Pampa, one of the most fertiles soils in the world, so, it is great to use construction materials that cannot cause a negative impact when building and inhabiting new construcions, but it is very importat to consider the raw material they need and the impact in the short, medium and long term. Thanks for allowing me to express my opinion and concerns. Susana Mühlmann – Energy and Habitat Research Centra, Faculty of Architecture, Desing and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires.

Philip Reinagle
English, 1749–1833
John Hind, c. 1780
oil on canvas
61.2 x 48.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Studying under Allan Ramsay in London, Philip Reinagle was afforded the opportunity to assist with several important royal portraits, including those of George III (1738–1820) and Queen Charlotte (1744–1818). Exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy, beginning in 1733 he specialized in portraiture, and was elected an Associate of the Academy in 1787. Inspired by the Dutch landscape painters, who often included animals and hunt scenes in their compositions, Reinagle began producing animal paintings, and in particular those scenes associated with the hunt. As a testament to upper-class recreational activities, gaming portraits held special significance in eighteenth-century British society, highlighting the regal character of the hunt. In this handsome portrait of John Hind and his three hunting dogs, Hind is shown, shotgun in hand, dressed in top hat, black vest and sports coat, breeches, and button-up boot covers.

Is it really that bad?
The music is not aggressively bad or embarrassing (though some of the lyrics are); it's a different kind of bad album, what the AV Club would call an "least essential album," "records whose very existence baffles us, from pointless remix projects to blatant cash-ins to celebrity vanity projects."
The songs are all just so second-string compared with and reminiscent of the last batch that you question the necessity of releasing them. The fact that it lumbers past 70 minutes like the previous album did doesn't help its case either. It was a chore to finish.
Remember how the common complaint last time was "these songs are great, but they really could have been edited down to single length"? Well this time, they really could have been edited down to single length without the added benefit of being particularly great.
The Lorde album is a fantastic listen and I thought Pitchfork tackled it pretty well today. Yes, it does get a little same-songy... but you can't deny this girl's talent. She has an incredibly promising future in front of her.
I enjoyed Lorde's album, too. I think the song writing is a tad immature but I'm willing to overlook a lot of that because, you know, she's 16. I'm looking forward to more of her output, perhaps after she gets her heartbroken or becomes jaded in other ways. She's very talented and I hope she explores her more creative side rather than falling into the presumable pressure of creating nothing but easily-digestible radio-friendly pop songs (and yes, I know, it does take talent to write quality pop songs). 7.3 is pretty fair for this album.
8.3 for SubRosa - I can live with that
7.6 for Motörhead - pretty high for an average Lemmy release but ok
Since when does Pitchfork review Motorhead?
I like this link for the discussion in the comments about Pitchfork's early years. "Early 00s Pitchfork is one of the most fucked-up, damaging legacies in music."
I forgot to mention this a few weeks ago, but the BNM for DJ Rashad's Double Cup is extremely well-deserved. Juke/footwork can get very repetitive very quickly, but, just like on his two EPs from earlier in the year, Rashad manages to experiment with the genre's basic framework enough to keep things interesting for almost all of the album's 50+ minutes.
Well, they got this one wrong.
Well, I think MBDTF's score was about .6 points off. That's a lot for Pitchfork's number scale ya know

A fire fighter must always be ready since he never knows when he will be called into service. Fire clothing and EMS and EMT apparel should be comfortable to lounge around in, yet rugged enough to do routine errands, simple enough to clean with little to no specialized maintenance and light enough to wear underneath turnout gear without restricting range of motion or becoming cumbersome or overwhelming. Blauer's full line of EMS, EMT, and fire clothing will never disappoint, as we use the highest quality materials and craftsmanship in all our fire, EMT, and ems gear.
EMS clothing should allow EMS and EMT workers to rapidly respond to any medical emergency at a moment's notice. Technical features and storage pockets become assets when trying to save as many crucial seconds during an emergency situation. Those seconds could easily mean the difference between life and death. EMS and EMT clothing is also a worker's first line of physical defense against blood and bodily fluids.
All EMS, EMT, and fire apparel must be presentable as these services are representatives of the community. A professional, clean appearance is mandatory for both fire fighters and EMS/EMT professionals when on calls and while at the station. That's why many of our nation's service officials look to Blauer to supply them with fire, EMT, and EMS gear.
Blauer's full line of fire station wear and EMS clothing is designed for daily, routine use around the station as well as on call underneath any turnout gear. No matter what climate or environment, Blauer's specialized fire clothing, EMS gear, and EMT clothes will keep you comfortable.

Located Near
The city centre features a number of impressive buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th and early 20th centuries. Clockwise around the Ninth of July Square are the neoclassical Cathedral, the French style Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cabildo (in former times, the city's town hall, nowadays a historical museum) and the neoclassical Museum of High Mountain Archeology, which houses artifacts from the Inca civilization, including the magnifically preserved mummies of three Inca children. The Plaza is almost completely surrounded by a gallery, and its beauty inspired a Chivas Regal TV ad, aired in 2004.[2]
Within walking distance of the 9th July Square are the impressive Saint Francis Church and the city's three pedestrian streets: Alberdi, Florida and 'Caseros'. The three blocks in Balcarce street closest to the train station are now the centre of night life in Salta, with restaurants, pubs and cafs on both sidewalks and concerts every night.
Rising imposingly in the east is San Bernardo Hill. Its summit, from which visitors can get an awe-inspiring view of the city and the entire valley, can be reached by car, cable car or stairway.
