Best free strategy games for iPhone
Hero Academy
Hero Academy is a turn-based, multiplayer-only tactical combat game that pits cartoony armies against one another. Each side gets five actions points every turn to move their troops, kit them out with gear, cast spells and otherwise attack opposing units on the board. Each player (online, either random or a designated buddy) has one or more crystals they must defend while trying to destroy the other side's. You can also win by running your opponent out of reinforcements, as each side only gets so many of each type every game.
Hero Academy includes The Council army (humans) for free, but charges for the others, such as Dwarves, Dark Elves and The Tribe (orcs). You can also pay for fancy army-themed avatars as well as taunts to make your soldiers jeer after a turn.
Spice Bandits
Spice Bandits is probably the best tower defense game I've ever played. You take on the of an adorable little space pirate, plundering various locations on Earth to gather up as much spice as possible. Of course, pesky humans aren't interested in letting you get away with that, and attack your various strongholds in waves, while you have to defend with various kinds of towers. Maps have a variety of themes and terrain qualities, making every round a new experience. Over time, you gather spice which can be spent on new kinds of turrets (provided you're a high enough level and have the prerequisite turrets purchased). Spice can also be used to deck out your alien avatar in some swanky threads.
As you level up, you get upgrade points (which can also be bought with spice) to customize your play style as you see fit - cheaper turrets, faster rate of fire or more mesmerizing disco music are just a few options. Spice Bandits lets you buy spice through in-app purchases, which also eliminates ads between levels.
Triple Town
Triple Town is a simple puzzle game where you place various kinds of greenery on a small grid so that you can line up three of a kind and have them merge into another object. For example, three patches of grass make a shrub, three shrubs make a tree, three trees make a house, and so on. Occasionally, you'll have to put down bears, which block building on squares until you're able to corral them into a confined area. You keep building until you run out of squares to build on, which actually takes awhile since the board is continually shifting with sets merging together and opening up space.
Triple Town is monetized by providing only a limited number of placements. Your move count regenerates over time, but you can pay for more turns, or simply buy unlimited turns for $3.99. The coins you earn through gameplay can also be spent on buying particular items, like bots, which can eliminate pesky bears with a single tap.
Best free shooter games for iPhone
Gun Bros
Gun Bros is a run-and-gun dual-stick shoot-em-up where you and your bro (either AI or through online multiplayer) blast through waves of incoming enemies. Each level you earn coins to spend on guns and gear to change your damage output, speed, health, and other characteristics. You also gather up a mineral called Xplodium, which can be refined into coins; higher grades of refineries can provide a higher coin output. A recent update added the ability to turn on your bro and go head-to-head in deathmatch mode, if you're feeling less than friendly.
Warbucks are a separate type of currency used to buy particularly high-end gear. You can earn them through in-app purchases, watching video ads, or converting a ton of the regular coins at the bank.
MetalStorm: Wingman
MetalStorm: Wingman is a flight combat game with full multiplayer support, AirPlay compatibility and accelerometer and swipe controls. As you play through the campaign mode, head-to-head multiplayer dogfight mode, or endless survival mode, you earn credits which can be used to buy various types of missiles, cannons, and new jets focusing on defense, agility, or firepower. Don't get too trigger-happy, since your ammunition is limited. If you're not into shooting down your buddies, you can also invite Game Center wingmen to play through the campaign levels co-operatively.
A lot of the hardware upgrades require you to use premium coins, which are sold in batches for $0.99 and up or earned through regular gameplay.
Frontline Commando
Frontline Commando is an on-rails third-person shooter about a gung-ho military man left behind enemy lines. You dodge behind cover with single taps, and pop out to take aim and eliminate nonspecific middle eastern insurgents. Don't get too attached to that wall you're hiding behind though, since it can be destroyed as a firefight drags on, and grenades can quickly flush you out into the open. When you level up, new weapons are unlocked for purchase, plus you get a few bars of gold, which can be used to buy premium items. Weapon upgrades span assault weapons, sniper rifles, shotguns, and grenade launchers, each with their own set of damage, clip size, reload speed, and accuracy attributes.
You can also increase survivability with medkit purchases and body armor upgrades. When things get too hot, you can buy airstrikes to clear out the immediate area. Both "war cash" and gold can be bought through in-app purchases.
Best free sports games for iPhone
Baseball Superstars 2012
Baseball Superstars 2012 is a whimsically exaggerated baseball game with Japanese-style characters and dialog. While the game keeps tabs on minute details, such as batting averages, running speed, stamina, and confidence levels, there are some more cartoony encounters with "super players", with ridiculous anime costumes and powers. As a batter, you can control where you swing by tilting the iPhone, but don't worry, you won't actually have to swing it like a bat - just tap the screen at the right moment. Pitching is done through a series of swipes within a box. You'll encounter plenty of challenges, including injuries which require recuperation in a hospital, managing your team roster, and playing against friends online. Personally, I found this game impossibly hard when set on normal difficulty, but I'm not a sports guy. Baseball fans will love it, though. For more baseball-themed apps, check out our ballgame roundup over here.
Through in-app purchases, you can get G points, which are spent on character items, training sessions to improve your stats, or even buy levels for your batter or pitcher.
NFL Pro 2012
NFL Pro 2012 is a full-fledged football game complete with leagues, playbooks, and extensive rosters based on real players and teams. Your players gain experience and level up as you go, letting you improve their stats in a number of areas, like run blocking, catching, awareness, and agility. Every down, you pick a play available (either offensive or defensive), and while you manually control one player, the AI handles the rest. Controls during play are dead simple, but most of your time will be spent flipping through and picking plays. Unfortunately, your selection is really limited to start, and it takes an obscene number of credits to permanently keep playbooks.
Every game you play uses up energy, which you can replenish or time or through in-app purchases. Experience points to level up your players can also be bought, along with credits to buy new playbooks, stadiums, gain access to new teams, divisions, and conferences, and extend quarter lengths.
Real Soccer 2012
Real Soccer 2012 offers a wide variety of gameplay types in a fast-paced, realstic package. The core controls are laid out with a standard virtual joystick and sprint, pass and shoot buttons, but progresses in complexity with fancy gesture-based maneuvers. You can unlock a variety of different cups, starting with International, and working your way to Asian, African, American, and European cups, plus there's regional league play unlocked as you play and level up. Just remember that you're limited by how many matches you can play by a stamina rating, which recovers over time. Loading screens have bits of trivia, and occasionally test your own football, err, soccer knowledge with a multiple choice quiz.
Playing Real Soccer 2012 earns you coins which can be used to purchase new soccer balls that provide a variety of different bonuses, like extra XP per match. "Cash" is Real Soccer 2012's premium currency, which can be traded in for international teams, additional stamina, team stat boosts, access a few select stadiums, and even the ability to clear all yellow cards.
Best free casual games for iPhone
Tiny Tower
Tiny Tower is a really simple social management game with 8-bit-style graphics. Your job is to populate a tower with bitizens, assign them jobs relevent to their skills, keep their respective businesses stocked, and build more floors on top of your building. Over time, your bitizens earn you money which can be spent on purchasing new stock for various types of stores, or for putting the next storey onto your tower. You'll need to ferry bitizens from the ground floor with the elevator if you'll ever want to move new people in, plus once in awhile VIPs will provide you extra bonuses, like knocking off a few hours from your restocking time.
Tiny Tower occasionally gives you Towerbucks for handling the elevator, which can be used to hurry restocking, construction, or elevator upgrades. Towerbucks can also be bought through in-app purchases.
Draw Something
Draw Something is a hugely popular Pictionary-style game. You pair up with a friend, and one gets a word which they have to draw out, while the other tries to guess what it is. The one doing the drawing gets to pick one of three words offered to them, each with a different difficulty rating. The higher the difficulty, the more stars both players earn when successfully guessed. The guessing player has a limited number of letters to play with, which actually makes a Draw Something a bit of a word game, too. The funnest part is that you get to watch the replay of the other side struggling to guess or draw. Recently the game's been updated with the option to undo brushstrokes and the ability to share your painstakingly-drawn creations.
As is, Draw Something provides only a limited palette of colors, but you can buy more through in-app purchases. You can also buy bombs, which are used to offer a fresh selection of words if you're drawing, or eliminate letters to chose from if you're guessing.
GodFinger All-Stars
GodFinger is a fun little world control game where you tend to a little planet full of villagers. By spinning around a cross-section view, you make sure they're happy and productive, and check in on them time to time to collect the gold they generate. That gold goes to upgrading their homes which can house more people, who then, in turn, produce more money. Of course, you have to tend to their needs, like providing rain and sun for the farms, as well as altars to worship you from. To accomplish all of this, you do these gesture-based miracles, but they burn up Awe points, which regenerate over time, or can be bought through the app store.
Over time, you complete missions, gain experience points, and expand the surface area of your planet. You can have a lot of fun around your world by raising and lowering the ground, decorating the planet with appropriate and flinging your hapless devotees beyond the horizon.
Best free physics games for iPhone
Cut the Rope Free
Cut the Rope is a popular game that involves dropping a piece of candy into a hungry green creature's mouth by slicing rope with swipe gestures. While the candy's dangling and swinging, you use nearby tools such as magic hats and air puffers to avoid obstacles, like candy-devouring spiders and destructive spikes. If you can get the candy to pass through any of the three stars on the level, you gain bonus points and bragging rights, but they're strictly optional.
Though you only get 18 levels in the free version, the full version with 250 levels is only $0.99.
Fruit Ninja Lite
Fruit Ninja is a well-known slice-and-dice game where you swipe through various kinds of fruit as they sail through the air. You get bonus points for chopping through four or more fruit at once, but you have to make sure to avoid the bombs that get tossed in every now and then. Different kinds of bonus fruit can really help out, such as the freeze banana, which slows the movement of everything the screen, making for easy targets.
In the free version, you get Classic mode in which you only get to let three fruit hit the ground, but the paid version, available for $0.99, includes a Zen mode where you cut up as much fruit as you can within a limited time frame, among other game modes.
Angry Birds Free
Angry Birds is the quintessential physics game for iPhone, wherein a group a birds suicidally fling themselves into rickety buildings so that the pigs inside that stole their eggs can suffer a terrible, terrible demise. Every level you get a selection of birds that you slingshot towards structures at varying angles and velocities. The birds available each level can have different properties - for example, the yellow one dive-bombs when you tap the screen while it's in mid-flight, while the blue one splits into three. You're scored based on how few birds you use to clear the level, as well as how much destruction you cause in the process.
The free version of Angry Birds gives you a total of 24 levels, but you'll need to drop $0.99 in order to get tons more. Keep mind that there are a lot of different free versions of Angry Birds available, including a seasonal one, a space-themed game, and one based on the Disney movie Rio. Try 'em all if you're looking for variety.
Best free action games for iPhone
Jetpack Joyride
Jetpack Joyride is a side-scrolling evasion game with simple one-button controls and a great sense of style. You play as a rebellious bureaucrat named Barry who's tired of the work at his top-secret military lab, and decides to snag the company's experimental jetpack for a jaunt through the facilities. Holding your finger on the screen puts the gas on the jetpack, letting you elevate over obstacles such as laser security systems and incoming missiles. Along the way, you'll also be able to snag other experimental vehicles, including the Crazy Freaking Teleporter, and the Profit Bird which is powered by concentrated satire.
You earn coins based on how far you make it through, but can also pick up loose coins through the level. You even earn more through completing missions, like high-fiving the scrambling scientists on the ground floor. Those coins are spent on new jetpacks, outfits, and soon gadgets, all available through in-app purchases stored in The Stash. Of course, you can buy more coins through in-app purchases, too.
Temple Run
Temple Run is a dead-simple platform game where you sprint through ancient ruins while being chased by displeased spirits. You turn corners, duck under obstacles, and leap over pits with swipe gestures while collecting coins along the way. There's a bit of accelerometer control, so you can snag coins in the middle or to the left or right side of corridors by tilting the iPhone, but for the most part, you're just relying on twitch reflexes. Gameplay can be extremely bite-sized, but still amply rewarding.
The coins you collect while temple-running (or in-app purchasing) can earn you power-ups like speed boosts, new unlockable characters, and even exclusive wallpapers.
Cordy Sky
Cordy Sky is a jumping game where you're an adorable little robot trying to get from the ground of an alien planet to a docked spaceship so you can continue on your intergalactic mission. Small bouncy platforms aid your ascension, but be careful, otherwise you drop down to the bottom and have to start all over. Luckily, you have a fellow robot called Volt that can grab you if you drop too far, but only if you've collected the appropriate token while climbing skyward. Your trip is split up into five sections, the end of each being marked by a fuel cell you need to get the spaceship running again. Controls are are either through virtual buttons, tilt, or swiping.
As you go, you collect gears, which can buy one-time boosts, permanent power-ups, or vanity costumes. Of course, you can always just buy gears through in-app purchases, but you can get by perfectly well on your own. Despite the kiddy graphics, the game is actually pretty challenging at points.
Best free role-playing games for iPhone
Six-Guns is an open-world multiplayer western. You embark on missions for beleaguered commonfolk, handling the likes of bandits and supernatural nasties to bring some iotum of peace to the wild west. Combat is straightforward revolver shooting with a virtual joystick and a few buttons. You're rewarded for your deeds, of course, and can use the coin you earn to equip new weapons, fresh threads, and buy new horses to expedite your trips between towns.
In addition to being able to buy in-game currency through in-app purchases, you can also get Sheriff Stars, which access high-end gear and auto-complete missions, though you can also earn them through watching ads. You're even able to buy experience points and health boosts, if you're having trouble getting through a particular quest.
Star Legends
Star Legends is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online sci-fi game where you partner up with fellow intergalactic travelers to take on a variety of space menaces. You build an avatar with a few basic options, like hair style and face type, then embark on quests to earn experience points, level up, gain new abilities, and earn equipment. The social element is very rich, with full support for guilds, and plenty of common spaces. Every mission you play is automatically instanced, so others people freely spawn in to help you out. Daily missions, implant crafting, and a ton of people to chat with insure you'll always have a reason to come back for more.
Platinum is the premium in-game currency, and is shared across accounts if you happen to play Pocket Legends as well. You can spend it on vanity items, like fancy jetpacks and robot pets, but you can also spend the the coins you earn through regular gameplay to keep your equipment in good repair and up-to-date.
Zenonia 4
Zenonia 4 is a classic role-playing game with an ongoing over-arching plot from previous titles, top-down 2D perspective, and sharp anime-style graphics. Although it's missing the tried-and-true turn-based fighting you see in a lot of RPGs, the real-time combat keeps the pace fast and furious - especially in player versus player situations. There are plenty of quests to grind through, progressively earning you more experience points, cash, and gear, though dying reduces equipment durability and experience points, which pushes players into preventative in-app purchases.
Zen and gold can both be bought with real cash. Zen points are used to purchase expanded inventory space and special power-boosting gems (among other things), while gold buys more mundane gear. Some kinds of armor can only be acquired through player versus player battles, but it's entirely possible to stick solely with the single-player campaign.
Best free racing games for iPhone
Forever Drive
Forever Drive is a sharp, polygonal top-down racing game with a cool abstract art style. The controls are simple and fluid, with options for tilt, tap, or d-pad. You're scored based on how many stars you pick up and how tightly you hug highlighted shoulders, but don't get too wild; you have a limited amount of time to get through as many tracks as possible. That means you need to drive smart and avoid the civilian traffic that explode in a Tron-esque display if you so much as nudge them.
One of the core elements of Forever Drive is the track builder. It's pretty simple - you draw a line from one end of a square to the other, pepper some scenery along the sides, and the highlighted turns, varied elevation, stars, and extra traffic are added in automatically. You then have the option to share these tracks online, which then randomly compose the arcade mode of other players. When you play, you get fed a series of user-built tracks which you can rate up or down after you're done driving them.
There are also weekly leagues where you have a chance to win in-game currency, with which you can buy a few unlocks, but the vast majority of car bodies, variations, and paint jobs are earned by gaining experience points throughout gameplay. I was really happy with Forever Drive, and I'd go so far as to say it's one of the better games I found when hunting for the best free iPhone games out there. Definitely check it out.
Snuggle Truck
Snuggle Truck is a simple side-scrolling racing game where you're trying to drive a bunch of stuffed animals to the zoo in a pick-up truck without having them bounce out of the back along the way. It sounds like it's for kids, but the game was originally called Smuggle Truck, where the premise was to get Mexicans to America where a better life awaited them. Obviously Apple wasn't a fan, so the developer changed it up, though the core gameplay remained the same. You tap left or right to put your foot on the gas or back up, and tilt your iPhone to make sure your truck lands evenly when sailing through the air. Like Forever Drive, there's a treasure trove of user-generated courses, all ripe for the downloading and rating. You can build your own courses, complete with power-ups, obstacles, and waypoints where new fuzzy animals are tossed at you to catch in mid-transit.
Through in-app purchases, you can drive flashier pick-up trucks, but the vast majority of content is thankfully available for free.
GT Racing: Motor Academy Free+
Motor Academy Free is a more down-to-earth, mostly-realistic racing game. You earn coins by completing tours, special invitation events, and completing contracts. Starting off, there are a bunch of levels where you earn various licenses, which help you learn how to drive different classes of cars. Coins let you buy a variety of recognized brand-name cars, like Bugatti, BMW, Bentley, Jaguar, Ford, Chevrolet, and Audi. They even kindly give you the option to rent the car for a round if you don't have enough to buy it outright. Even this racing game has some RPG mechanics in it, including quests which you complete, and leveling up to unlock new cars and courses.
Coins are earned through regular gameplay, while in-game cash is mostly bought through in-app purchases, which you can trade in for new cars.

Best free iPhone games
Thanks! Gotta say, it was a learning experience writing it up. There were more than a few titles that I really liked that didn't make the list. Adding in new categories later on should give 'em some place to shine.
I have to agree- fantastic post! After spending a lot of time recently trying out all of the free MMORPGs, I have to say that Order & Chaos kicks butt all over the freebies, but SpaceTime Studios' games like Pocket Legends and Star Legends are definitely my preferred freebies of the genre.
You don't have to make an in-app purchase. They relay on ego/impatience to encourage it, but you can play for free if you're immune to such human failings ;)
I was definitely hesitant to rely so heavily on IAP-supported games, but of the variety of free models out there, I've found that they consistently pump out the highest-quality games. Ad-supported games don't have great production value, and "lite" titles are really limited in their replay value.
I hear ya. When I was drafting the list, Leanna had to remind me at least three times that Infinity Blade II wasn't free. We'll have a straight-up "best free iPhone games" feature at some point, and I can guarantee pretty much all of them will be paid.
Now this is why this is the best iOS website there is. <-period
Good call! I'll add it to the list, and would probably put Triple Town in there. It's more of a puzzler than a strategy game, no?
I think we're going to have a whole category dedicated to word games. Hopefully I can dig up some quality alternatives to Words with Friends...
To save you some work with the spade..
Have a look at my unique, recently released, rebus word game "d-pixing".
Prof Potts
Nice, I got the full version when it was on sale awhile back, but I'll definitely check out the free one.
Omegapixel is also a completely free arcade space defense game. Highly polished and great fun, indie developed by just two guys:
zynga poker! ;)
Awesome, thanks for the suggestions, checking 'em all out.
Great article. I didn't even know about most of these games. Guess I can kiss my productivity at work goodbye!
Great article. iPad version please.
Thank you for the tips! Enjoying Spice Bandits right now and wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for your article. :)
If you're into simulation/time-management type of games--do check out Streetfood Tycoon!
This was a great post. My favorite is Real Racing. I've been playing it since its debut on the original iPhone which I still have. I'm partial to racing games and this was the first mobile racing game that gave the same level of satisfaction I got playing on a console. It was so intense, that I'd play it in the morning at work to wake up instead of popping down a Red Bull. Also there's a free Real Racing GTI. I generally buy the full version of games to have the full package. It's not like I'm paying $60 for one XBox 360 title.
We all pitched in a bit here and there. The stuff with the old-school Nintendo and Game Boy was Rene, I did Six-Guns, Hero Academy, Draw Something, Tiny Tower, and Triple Town, and Leanna (the real pro among us) did a bunch of the others.
Great post! It seems to me from what you have pointed out these apps make use of intuitively-styled designs, various ways of utilizing the built in sensory feature and even social connections. All of which I believe to be essential to application adoption aside from their entertainment value. I am an aspiring app developer still trying to figure out what unique features users like and can be incorporated uniquely into my future apps. I would love to see a general or statistical analysis on the user types, profiles, as well as general feedback and on the use sensory technologies in response to each of these apps. Any suggestions? TY!

I have recently tried a game called tic tac toe Elite by Youxel , it's an amazing & very relaxing will put you in a whole different place Check it out : https://www.facebook.com/youxel .
Rage of Bahamut is definitely NOT one of the best free iphone games available (although it is free) - it does, however, satisfy that tiny niche market of 'games that aren't that great but you keep tapping anyway to see if you get a shiny new card' (yes, it is a dumbed down TCG). In spite of the utter lack of skill involved in its play, it is one of the most popular games on the Android system (and I think IOS as well, recent addition) - so for those who want to waste a bunch of time with nothing to show for it:
A couple of tips for new players:
- SAVE ALL HOLY POWDERS AND CURE WATERS (aka HP, CW) (don't mean to shout but these things are incredibly useful for bargaining for better cards, don't waste them to replenish stamina and attack which replenish over time anyway)
- Be careful of incoming trades at low levels (more experienced players will often try to make trades with newbies that are very unfavorable)
- At first, put most of your attribute points into stamina - this will allow you to level more quickly, don't really need to start battling other players until you have a decent deck
- SAVE ALL HOLY POWDERS AND CURE WATERS (aka HP, CW) (just in case you missed it the first time)
- Pro tip: When you're ready to start trading, go to "Battle Ranking" from the home screen and select the top-ranked player. In the support section is where most players buy and sell cards, items and rupies
- Need to earn some HPs/CWs/Rupies? some people will buy 'feeders' - save up your normal cards (or high normals) and sell them in the support section (discussed in the previous point) - rates fluctuate but you can sometimes get up to a CW or so for 9 normal cards
Hope these tips are useful - if so please use my referral code:
- this will get you a very decent Rare card to start with as well as a bunch of rupies you'll need for enhancing and evolving your cards (of course I'll also get a nice card :) )

The Sidi Adventure rain is one of three adventure tour capable boot options
from Sidi including the Adventure Gore-Tex and the Armada boots. These Adventure
rain boots are the least expensive of the three. These boots are essentially the
same in construction and features as the Adventure Gore-Tex with the exception
of the Gore-Tex waterproof, breathable membrane. The membrane used in these
Adventure Rain boots are just as waterproof, but not as breathable as the
Gore-Tex membrane.
These boots are available in U.S. sizes seven to fourteen and a half, with a
surcharge of twenty bucks for the largest two sizes. The fit is surprisingly
roomy for a European boot, but not as roomy as a boot with an American Cut. My
feet run on the narrow side of E, though, and I can wear these no problem, which
is unusual for Italian boots. For riders with narrower feet, the fit can be
adjusted easily by adding custom insoles.
These boots have the all-day comfort of a touring boot, combined with the
armored protection of an offroad boot, making them perfect for the rapidly
growing adventure touring style of riding. The upper is constructed of a highly
durable material called Technomicro, which is a synthetic leather that many feel
is actually stronger than natural leather because there are no possible hidden
The toe box and heel cup are heavily reinforced and the heel and ankle are
protected by a hinged armor system that also promotes mobility and flexibility.
The protection extends to the shin as well with a protective TPU plate that is
incorporated into the adjustable top half of the boot that also features a heat
and wear resistant panel on the boots medial side.
If you open this panel up as well as the two adjustable buckles, you can see the
moisture wicking Trockenfuss liner and the removable and replaceable insole.
The outsole is made of a tacky, medium density material that offers good
longevity, and excellent grip on just about any surface they may run into. They
have an aggressive, work boot looking tread as well, to assist with traction
when the ride turns offroad.
All in all, these Sidi
Adventure Rain boots are an excellent choice for the rider who doesn't stop
exploring just because the road ends.

SIMON BORCHARDT discovers that schoolboy rugby players who take performance-enhancing drugs are playing a dangerous game.
The days of South African schoolboy rugby players taking steroids and getting away with it are numbered. Not only have top rugby schools in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal come together to prevent sports doping but government is also looking to change the law regarding drug testing at schools.
As it stands, the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (Saids) can only test schoolboy rugby players at Saru-sanctioned events like Craven Week, where players give consent to be tested when signing up. Saids cannot just arrive at a school and test players, because there are issues like access to pupils, parental consent and the lack of a code under which they can prosecute.
Saids chairman Dr Shuaib Manjra says he is happy for schools to self-regulate when it comes to drug testing as long as the testing is independent, unannounced and done according to Saids' rules. However, he adds that tightening legislation would not only allow Saids to go into schools and do testing of its own but would also help it to target the manufacturers of sports drugs.
'We would not encourage giving schoolboys who test positive a two-year ban like we do for professional rugby players because it would end their school sports career. We want to emphasise the educational value of what they did and attempt to prevent such behaviour through deterrence. We also want to know where they got the drugs from, so that we can target the supply chain. Steroids either come through internet purchases and pass through South African customs or are produced in South Africa, and can be obtained from almost any gym.
'Testing at schools should not be the top priority – awareness, education and deterrence are more important [Saids launched its 'I Play Fair – Say No! To Doping' awareness campaign in June]. You want kids to choose not to dope.'
But Saids wants to catch those who do, and has recently significantly increased its 'positive rate' by changing its testing method.
'In the past we used to develop our testing programme by creating a matrix of high-risk sports and high-risk athletes,' Manjra explains. 'We'd come and collect a urine sample and send it to the laboratory to test it for substances like steroids and EPO [erythropoietin]. But the problem with this method is that if you took EPO last night and I test you this morning, it's already out of your system. The injectable steroids that the guys used to take stayed in the body for weeks, but the oral steroids available now have a shorter half life and exit the body much quicker. All this explains why the average worldwide positive rate for target testing is 1%, even though an estimated 10% of athletes use sports drugs.'
Manjra says that Saids, which spends a fortune on drug testing, had to find out what it could do differently in order to increase its positive rate. The answer was intelligent testing.
'Firstly, we do 10 tests on the athlete and create a biological passport, which is like a fingerprint, and say this is where they physiologically reside. Any test that falls above or below that framework, using sophisticated statistical programmes, indicates they've been doping. In other words, we're no longer looking for a substance in your body, we're looking for the effect it's had on your body.
'Secondly, we're using the intelligence we receive about doping. People tell us that this or that person is taking drugs, but we've got limited capabilities in terms of processing that information in a way that will allow us to prosecute. So we're putting together an intelligence surveillance system that allows us to use that information to target test more effectively.
'Thirdly, we look for where the greatest risk of doping is and at what point athletes will use certain drugs. For example, cyclists who use EPO will probably stop taking it 48 hours before an event, so drug testers need to have a calendar of these events and plan their testing around them. Rugby players will probably take drugs during pre-season to bulk up and then a couple of times during the season. We also look at sudden improvements in performance or increase in size and target those athletes.'
The results speak for themselves. In 2010, Saids did 2 000 tests using target testing and had 19 positives. In 2010, they did roughly the same number of tests using intelligent testing and had 50 positives.
Manjra says there's no way to tell if those who test positive took the drugs intentionally or inadvertently through supplements, like Chiliboy Ralepelle and Bjorn Basson, who tested positive last November after using a contaminated USN supplement. If the player insists it's the latter, he has to prove it to the medical tribunal.
'That's why we tell athletes to stay away from supplements,' says Manjra. 'There's no quality control with supplements like there is with pharmaceutical products – you don't know what's in them.
'I believe supplements are the gateway to steroids – when an athlete starts taking artificial substances and they don't have the desired effect, they often cross that boundary to steroids. In fact, there's a study that shows that athletes who take weight-gain or weight-loss supplements are more likely to end up using steroids than those who don't.'
Riaan de Vries started his company Drug Detection International (DDI) after a personal experience with drugs. His girlfriend was addicted to crystal meth and it took him a long time to break out of denial and recover emotionally. He is still recovering financially.
'When I moved on from that relationship, I decided to start a company that helps organisations, people and their loved ones with drug addiction,' says De Vries. 'At the beginning of 2011 we looked at how we could help schools test for performance-enhancing drugs. We formed a relationship with an American lab, Quest Diagnostics, and adopted the American model of testing at school level. Because of current legislation, we had to go about our work without interfering with the work being done by Saids. We did a trial with a couple of schools and found that there was a major problem.'
DDI approached schools to do testing, but also received referrals from Jon Patricios, who was the Lions' doctor for 10 years, and Glen Hagemann, the managing director of Sharks Medical and SharkSmart.
'A few years ago, I began noticing how much bigger the schoolboys who came to see me looked,' says Patricios. 'The questions that they, and in some cases, their parents asked also set off alarm bells. I can't call a parent or a headmaster to tell them that I think their son or pupil is taking steroids, because of doctor-patient confidentiality, so I decided to write an article, published in the Sunday Times in January 2010, in which I expressed concerns about schoolboys taking steroids for performance-enhancing and image reasons. After reading that article, some schools decided to do something about it.'
On 29 May 2011, the Sunday Times ran a story on tests conducted by DDI on pupils at 18 of South Africa's top schools in which 21 out of 130 pupils – roughly one in six – tested positive for a variety of steroids. The newspaper revealed that three of the pupils who tested positive were from King Edward VII (KES) in Joburg, two were from St Alban's College in Pretoria and that one boy from St John's College in Joburg had twice the testosterone levels for a teenager his age.
'Around 60% of the 130 pupils we tested play sport, while the other 40% just want to look good,' says De Vries. 'I can't say how many of those 21 [who tested positive] play rugby, because we didn't request that information, but I can say that there is a major problem in rugby.
'It's also important to note that we never revealed that KES, St Alban's and St John's had pupils who tested positive – the Sunday Times went to those schools and they divulged that information. We've never said how many schools we tested, or which schools we tested. DDI is bound by confidentiality agreements with our schools not to damage their reputations by disclosing information but instead assists them in eradicating the use of steroids and helps their pupils recover from this addiction.'
St Alban's headmaster Tom Hamilton says the two pupils from his school who tested positive were targeted for testing because of how they had bulked up in a short period.
'Both have been given sanctions that were managed in an educational manner internally,' he adds. 'Although they are not serious sportsmen at all, their sanctions carry a six-month ban on any type of participation in representative inter-school sports. Their families have been supportive and proactive throughout. We will be having at least one more round of tests for performance-enhancing drugs before the end of this year.'
St Alban's, which is part of the Gauteng Heads of Boys' Schools Group, has an annual budget of R100 000 for performance-enhancing drug testing. With DDI charging R1 500 per test, St Alban's will be able to do two batches of 30 pupils every year (there is a statistical rule of thumb that a batch of less than 30 tests reveals little in terms of the actual underlying trends and proportions) as well as up to 10 more tests for pupils who raise suspicion. (The parents of those who test positive at St Alban's have to pay for any additional tests that are required to prove that rehabilitation has been achieved.)
De Vries admits that the cost of testing is too high for most South African schools.
'Unfortunately we can't bring the price down, as we already only have a profit margin of 10%. We test for about 40 substances and masking agents – it's a massive panel – and there are things like shipment costs that all add up. I wish we could make it more affordable, especially for government schools. We are looking to get sponsorship from companies, players and old boys so that we can make the service available to schools that can't afford it.'
De Vries and Patricios echo Manjra in emphasising that while drug testing at schools is important, so is drug prevention.
'We often give talks at schools and we do them for free,' says De Vries. 'We want to educate people and communities. We advocate that steroids will not ensure success in life, and that you need to achieve your goals through training hard and proper nutrition.'
'I tell kids who are thinking of taking steroids that it's cheating and goes against the ethos of rugby,' says Patricios. 'It's physically harmful – many of the effects like high blood pressure, heart problems and elevated cholesterol only occur later on in life – and psychologically harmful as steroids cause extreme aggression and depression. I also remind them that it's a criminal offence to have a schedule-five drug without a prescription and can result in a 10-year jail sentence.
'Hopefully once they have all that information, they do the right thing.'
The Gauteng Heads of Boys' Schools Group (GHBSG) is an informal and non-binding association of state and independent schools, including Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies), CBC Boksburg, Jeppe High School for Boys, King Edward VII School (KES), Parktown Boys' High, Pretoria Boys' High, St Alban's College, St Benedict's College, St David's Marist Inanda, St John's College and St Stithians Boys' College. The group meets on a regular basis to discuss matters of common concern and those discussions are underpinned by common values and ethos. All GHBSG schools have amended policies, consulted or communicated with parents and other relevant bodies and are in a position to test for performance-enhancing drugs on a regular basis, which is happening. All these schools have undertaken to educate their boys on the dangers of such drugs and supplements, and have agreed on a minimum sanction of a six-month ban from all sport for boys who test positive. The gist of all such programmes is educational and preventative.
The Discovery SharkSmart Schools of Excellence Programme is overseen by Sharks Medical and empowers the participating high schools in KwaZulu-Natal to meet a number of pre-determined criteria related to playing rugby safely and fairly. From 1 January 2012, one of these criteria will require their pupils to be tested for performance-enhancing drugs. The programme was launched in 2010 and nine schools – Weston Agricultural College, Hilton College, Maritzburg College, Westville Boys' High, Kearsney College, Hillcrest High, Glenwood High, Clifton College and Crawford College (La Lucia) – were successfully accredited as SharkSmart Schools of Excellence. Additional schools participating in the programme this year include Durban High School (DHS), Treverton College, Hoërskool Voortrekker, Hoërskool Port Natal, Northwood School, Michaelhouse, Kingsway High, South City College, Ohlanga High, Umlazi Commercial and Technical School, Kloof High and St Charles College.

I think it shows higher hopes than the Bulls' "thick and thin" campaign a while back. This one is kind of corny though.

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."

Making a parody is not copywriting. Otherwise there wouldn't be any parodies of songs (covers as well), commercials, or movies on youtube or any other such medium.

NEWORLEANS - The Crescent City Connection bridges the east and west bank of the Mississippi and Orleans and Jefferson Parishes.
But, it now divides voters, for and against the continuation of the tolls.
On Thursday, the Stop the Tolls team held it's last news conference going into Saturday's referendum.
Some Westbank business owners claim their business has picked up since a Baton Rouge judge threw out the results of the November referendum and suspended the tolls.
'It has positively effected my business,' said Gretna Realtor Liz Strohmeyer. 'My business has increased over 30% in the past 4 months.'
'Since the tolls have ceased on the Crescent City Connection, I've had more customers in my store that tell me their from Uptown or from the Warehouse District,' said Shannon Ockman, owner of Bayou Sports Shop in Terrytown.
Two parish presidents also spoke at the No Toll news conference. They see the tolls as an unfair tax on the Westbank.
'If we're going to toll the Crescent City Connection, let's toll every other bridge in this state,' said Jefferson Parish President John Young.
'If you've been told that the bridge won't be kept up, it's not true,' said Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser.
Toll supporter Glen Orgeron disagreed.
'If you don't have a revenue stream, what happens to the grass, what happens to the inspection on the bridge, what happens to the police department,' said Orgeron.
Orgeron said despite a low key campaign by groups that want to keep the tolls, there are still plenty of voters planning to vote yes on the 20 year extension.
'There's still a good number of people who understand the issues and are willing to pay their 40 cents a day to maintain a better quality of life than the state will provide.'
Demographer Greg Rigamer said Westbank voters were overwhelming against the tolls during the November election and they cast a lot more ballots during early voting than Eastbank voters that favored the tolls the first time around.
'Where it really passed turnout is very low,' said Rigamer. 'Where it failed, turnout is exceedingly high.'
He says that is a good predictor on how the toll referendum will fare go on Saturday.
'It would indicate that it's not going to pass,' said Rigamer.
The toll referendum passed in November by only 36 votes.

Harris, Sam (2012-03-06). Free Will (Kindle Locations 638-641). Simon & Schuster, Inc.. Kindle Edition.
"It may seem paradoxical to hold people responsible for what happens in their corner of the universe, but once we break the spell of free will, we can do this precisely to the degree that it is useful. Where people can change, we can demand that they do so. Where change is impossible, or unresponsive to demands, we can chart some other course. In improving ourselves and society, we are working directly with the forces of nature, for there is nothing but nature itself to work with."
Sam suggests that we can change our circumstances by adopting a different perspective concerning free will.
This seems to be an implication that we can use a facility that doesn't exist to change our view of something that doesn't exist.
I am not saying that we have free will.
I'm saying that we don't…....and there is nothing we can do about it.
As a matter of fact, without free will…..the we that we think we are,.......doesn't even exist.
And that's a hell of a how'd you do!

Great Lakes 2T-1A 'Sportster' Replica
Gift of C. Lawrence Carlson
Some 200 copies of this model aircraft were built between 1929 and 1932. Because of their universal appeal and aerobatic excellence the little ship dominated air shows into the 1960's. Its swept-back upper wing gave it a very high rate of roll and with larger engines it was very responsive. The plane was so popular that it was revived and several more were built between 1974 and 1978. Because it was very well equipped with instruments and radios it was a welcome guest at any airport.
This replica was built by Mr. C. Lawrence Carlson of Rocky Hill, CT from original company plans. It was flown by him until he donated it to the Museum in December, 1991.

GARNER – The New Bern Bears slugged hard-hit liner after liner Tuesday in a second round 4-A state baseball playoff game against Garner.
Unfortunately, so did the Trojans in a 5-1 Garner victory.
Garner's first batter of the game, second baseman Taylor Stephens flipped a cue-shot single down the left-field line, before scoring on a sacrifice fly to left.
Then, Vince Jeffries' two-run shot to right in the first inning helped place the Bears in an early 3-0 hole.
Some baserunning mistakes and tough-luck hitting helped finish off New Bern.
New Bern had two runners picked off in key situations, and struggled to get runners in from scoring position.
"That's the story of the game. Garner got runners in when they had them on and we didn't," New Bern coach Gary Smith said.
"There's a reason runners left on base is a statistic that is kept, because along with RBIs, it's the most important offensive stat. Either you got the runners in or you didn't."
After a rough first inning, Bears' starter Bailey Jones settled in and pitched well until exiting in the fourth.
"I thought Bailey battled and just that first inning is typically his worst and it was again tonight, but after that, he settled down," Smith said.
Garner scored two more in the fourth for a 5-0 advantage, before New Bern scratched a run across in the seventh on a RBI double by Kyle Gaskins in the senior's final at-bat.
Gaskins went 2-for-3 with the RBI double to lead the offense and catcher Chandler Seagle contributed with a two-bagger of his own.
A key moment in the game occurred with Seagle at the plate in the top of the fourth with runners on first and second and no outs.
Seagle lined a bullet towards the middle where Garner shortstop Trever Lee was standing.
Lee snagged the liner, stepped on second to double off Colin Schmid, then threw to first to try and get Josh Taylor in a triple play, but Taylor beat the throw back.
"That play was huge, as huge as any in the game," Smith said.
"Nothing Chandler or anybody else did wrong, that's just baseball. We couldn't catch a break tonight in addition to running into a really good team in Garner."
The game was the last as a high-school ballplayer for centerfielder Josh Taylor, first baseman Kyle Gaskins, pitchers Whitman Barnes, Cayne Ratliff and Sean Garbarino and designated hitter Trent Wynn.
Reserves Audie Held and Kyle Dupas also suited up for the last time as Bears.
"It feels good personally for me to go 2-for-3 and break up the shutout, but it still hurts. I wouldn't trade playing with these guys for anything in the world," Gaskins said.
Taylor and Barnes echoed the words of their teammate.
"Eventhough I didn't pitch in this one like last year, it is still rough. I love these guys and it is something I will always remember," Barnes said.
Barnes is off to pitch for UNC-Wilmington next season, while Taylor is headed to N.C. State for football.
"I think I got closer to these guys on the baseball team from playing with them since I was a kid. We battled all year and lost some games we should have won, just ran into a very good Garner team," Taylor said.
The Bears conclude the 2013 campaign at 17-9, while Garner moves to 23-2 and will take on Terry Sanford in the third round.

Super Bowl spectacle meets Mardi Gras merriment
New Orleans is getting ready for a huge party as crowds for Super Bowl and Mardi Gras collide.

Revelers throw beads from the balcony of the Royal Sonesta Hotel onto crowds on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras Day festivities in the French Quarter in New Orleans in 2011.

Volunteer Gail Dusenberry of Clyde, N.C., works on artist Stephan Wanger's bead mosaic "Paragons of New Orleans" at Mardi Gras World. Visitors are invited to cut and place beads on the 42-foot-long, 8-foot-tall board etched with the New Orleans skyline.
Bill Haber / Associated Press
A replica of the Mercedes Benz Superdome is under design at Mardi Gras World warehouse.
Mardi Gras floats are getting finishing touches, including one float being touted as the biggest the city's Carnival has ever seen. Bakeries are hiring extra hands to decorate the thousands of king cakes, a traditional Mardi Gras treat, being preordered for the Super Bowl.
Carnival season is already in full swing along the Gulf Coast and continues until Mardi Gras on Feb. 12.
The city's hotels are more than 90 percent occupied for the weeks before and after the big game, according to Stephen Perry, president of the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"We are ready to give the world a show," Perry said.
Carnival parades will not be held downtown during Super Bowl weekend, but dozens will roll in the city on the weekends before and after the game. Some sports fans are extending their stays to take in the masked riders tossing beads, costumed marching groups and make-believe royalty.
Tourism officials estimate 125,000 to 150,000 people will be in town for Super Bowl weekend, with 75,000 at the game and the rest taking in the fanfare. Another million typically visit New Orleans in the weeks leading up to and including Mardi Gras.
This will be New Orleans' 10th Super Bowl, tying Miami for the city that's hosted the most Super Bowls. It's also the seventh Super Bowl taking place in the Superdome, now named for its sponsor Mercedes-Benz.
But more importantly, it will be the Superdome's first Super Bowl since Hurricane Katrina ripped off its roof and flooded surrounding streets when levees gave way in 2005.
The dome has since undergone more than $336 million in renovations. Though there are no public tours of the dome, anyone can attend the Super Bowl media day Tuesday. For $25, fans can sit in the stands, listen to NFL Network coverage and player interviews with portable headsets, and get a look at the renovated stadium.
As Super Bowl fans leave town, a new wave of revelers will arrive for Mardi Gras weekend. That's when some of the city's largest parade organizations, known as superkrewes, hold their glitzy balls and parades.
Parade groups have been working for months to make this year bigger and better than ever. The Krewe of Endymion is boasting it will have the largest float in city history for its Feb. 9 parade, led by pop singer Kelly Clarkson.
The Bacchus parade and its yet-to-be-named celebrity rider rolls on Feb. 10, and the Orpheus parade rolls on Feb. 11 -- the eve of Fat Tuesday known as Lundi Gras -- with actor Gary Sinise, Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress Mariska Hargitay and New Orleans musicians Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews and Harry Connick Jr.
Visitors can also go to Mardi Gras World, the enormous studio and warehouse where floats are made and stored.
This year, Mardi Gras World is also the site of a Guinness World Record attempt by New Orleans artist Stephan Wanger to create the world's largest Mardi Gras bead mosaic. Anyone can help cut and place beads on a 42-foot-long, 8-foot-tall board etched with the New Orleans skyline.
"It's something we want hands from all over the world to be a part of," Wanger said. The first bead was placed in November, and the last will be placed on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 13, the day after Mardi Gras.
One thing the city won't be short on is music. Dozens of local acts will be performing throughout the weekend on stages along the Mississippi River and in the French Quarter. On game day, Beyonce will be the half-time performer.
Other local attractions include steamboat cruises -- many with live jazz -- on the Mississippi, the recently-expanded World War II Museum, Audubon Zoo, Aquarium of the Americas and New Orleans Museum of Art by City Park. Just outside the city, options include airboat tours of Louisiana swamps and bayous and plantation home tours.
Foodies can indulge in charbroiled oysters, seafood gumbo, fried softshell crab po-boys and shrimp and grits. The city has 52 more restaurants than it did in 2002 -- the last time New Orleans hosted a Super Bowl.

I ordered this save the date without the pictures and chose our wedding colors best as I could get them, I was a little worried because I had to trust the colors on the computer and I think it's very hard to do that online, but when I received them the other day in the mail I was so happy the color was exact. I love this design it fit our personalities, we are of the tattooed community and we have a great sense of humor so these are perfect for us and I think they are great for anyone. I highly recommend these save the dates. No one will be disappointed.

Friends say goodbye to Barber
With his big eyes, surrounded by the kind of eye lashes most girls would envy, and his big dimpled smile, Jeremy Michael Barber earned the nickname "Gerber Baby," during his years at Water Valley High School.
Barber, who went by his middle name Michael, died on Sunday after losing control of his vehicle while driving home from a party Saturday night on Highway 32 in Water Valley. He was 19 years old. (November 16, 2010, Page 2A)

Another 4 years of Obummer would be a nightmare come true. Let's pray that doesnt happen.
You are too kind.
I often ask people, would you spend 4000 to help save the world. That is about what the premium is to drive a hybrid over the conventional model.
"It's time we except the FACTS that INDIANS were here first, and we took it all away from the them."
Who took land from who? I was not born yet, so it wasn't me! The people benefiting now were not alive back then either! When is this madness going to stop? Our government promotes racism. Want it to stop, stop asking! I marked other on my US census and wrote in Human. I am not Indian, but I am native American as I was born here, as was my father before me and his father before him, and so on.
