Painting Makes Me Happy:
The Exhibit Reminded Me of That
I made the orignial collage of the rhino, whom I kept calling a hippo for some undoubtedly Freudian reason, using the Collage Machine at the National Gallery of Art. Of course, I wanted to save my collage. But there's no choice on the Collage Machine to do so. You have to use SHIFT PRINT SCREEN. Instructions are on Schockwave Needs the Print Screen Button.
But art when used for realization and self-expression and healing and answerability means art and play. And so I played with my saved collage. To produce the collage that made me happy.
Why a rhino? I don't know. He looked like fun, especially with the bird on his back. He made me think of Africa, and then the pyramids and the camel-shaped piece and other pieces that could make up a palm tree told a story of my fond memories of Africa, North, as well as south and west and east. Cutting the collage up and pasting it back together in unexpected ways was like kaleidoscope play. I had so much fun with it, I put the final collage on a tee shirt. ART?
Well, that's a good question, isn't it? For me, it was art; not museum art, but an expanded perspective of the forms and shapes and memories that make up my life, a good life, with memories recorded like this. The activity, right in the middle of setting up the hypertext poem for the Naked Space Exhibit, was fun. I stopped for a minute to play. Now, as soon as I had captured the memory of that play on my tee shirt, I triggered memories of other such scenes. Rhinos. Of course, Durer's famous rhino. And right over here a favorite card of Niki de Saint Phalle's Rhino.
Conceptual linkages spilled out. From memories of Egypt and Africa to memories of wonderful pieces of art. And then to the recognition that Durer and Niki de Saint Phalle were names that a liberal arts education should make sure you recognize. So The Rhinoceros and Art History wrote itself in a flash and hopped into syllabi for the Fall. This is what teachers bring to your education; and this is why we can't just do away with teachers and offer you video learning. Real learning grows naturally from play with ideas and words and things. Real learning is participatory. Real learning is visual and aural and oral. Aesthetics is about discovering and learning to see with an immediate awareness the beauty in life. So, yes, this is art. Real art. Art like Matt Haimovitz and his 18th-century Venetian cello playing in a pizza parlor.
So also is Niki de Saint Phalle's and Albrecht Durer's art real art. Art that begs to be preserved for future generations. But that doesn't lessen our need for making and playing with our own art, for opening the door to the fine art of Haimowitz and Phalle and Durer in wider settings than museums and concert halls stuffed with thousands of beautiful things we have barely the time to glance at. Stop, linger, buy a postcard, take a picture, or draw your own version, with or without the help of the National Gallery's Collage Maker.
Making art is not a children's past-time. It's a human past-time. Making art makes our world more beautiful. Making art is part of living well. Make some art.
Yes, and play and laughter may come to change the dominant paradigm and make it more humane.

- Military Abuse in Iraq and New Hypertext Poem for Summer
Amnesty International USA on Iraq crisis: Torture Must Not Be Tolerated in Iraq Current reports to follow the Iraqi situation from a human rights perspective:
[Iraqi women queue up outside the Abu Ghraib prison]

The tragedy of torture and humiliation in Iraq can be ignored only if we are willing to be complicit. I do not yet know in what ways our rejection and shame can be most effectively translated into social change, but I do know that answerability suggests that complicity can be assuaged by awareness and discussion. To that end I have begun this morning a new hypertext poem for our collaborative exchange on how theorists such as Habermas, Pia Lara, Bakhtin can help quide us through times such as these, when we threaten along with the rights of the Other, the very rights on which our nation is founded.
The Table of Contents for What Have We Done to Her? to US? contains one summary and discussion of Charles Derber's The Wilding of America. and several articles I've backed up for summary and discussion.
The impetus for this new poem came on the front page of the New York Times this morning. From a Picture of Pride to a Symbol of Abuse in Iraq By James Dao. Published: May 7, 2004. Backup.
Over the next few weeks I'll finish Freeing the Feminine Other by including those gallery pieces that weren't up on the Internet and completeing the atrributions I didn't have before the Gallery Exhibit.
Over the summer, contributions may be sent for What Have We Done to Her? to US?

Mitt Romney teased reporters today about the timing of his running mate announcement, but didn't give much of a hint about who that person will be.
"I will absolutely decide and announce my running mate before the third day of the Republican convention in August," he told reporters in Las Vegas.
That would be on Aug. 29. What's so special about that day? The third day of political conventions is typically when the vice presidential candidate gets to make a speech to delegates.
There's a good bet that Romney will announce his running mate well before then. His campaign this week unveiled a smartphone app to help users be the first to learn the running mate's identity.
Another sign (or not): Beth Myers, who is in charge of the VP search, was traveling with Romney yesterday where he appeared at a campaign rally and with GOP governors. At least one of those governors, Louisiana's Bobby Jindal, has been mentioned in news reports as being on Romney's short list.
Romney's campaign also has been adding staff to assist the VP choice. Politico reported today that Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, is taking a leave of absence from Capitol Hill to become part of the VP nominee's communications team.
The Republican National Convention runs Aug. 27-30 in Tampa.

Ruediger Pluem wrote:The parent process watchdog is supposed to be used only for core
I would like to commit this module to trunk.
It's a watchdog module that creates a worker threads
either in parent, child via an API, and it's not for
standalone use, but for other module usage like
mod_heartbeat, probably mod_jk and others that need
maintenance threads.
It seems scary to me to have the MPM parent on Unix forking children while a
separate thread in that same process is running arbitrary code. Surprising
problems can crop up when this arbitrary code is in certain states (maybe a
mutex gets inherited in held state by the new MPM child?)
This seems to be a very valid concern to me. Plus in the parent it runs with root
privileges and we should minimize the code that runs with these privileges, even
more so as an author of code that uses the watchdog may not really be aware that
its code is running under root (in contrast to people who develop modules like
mod_unixd and mod_privileges).
features that affect all children's and can be done without
requiring graceful restart.
Making the module running as root is very easy and
average 'Joe the Developer' can already use such a feature
with or without this option.

Neither the onDragDrop element attribute, as used in this demo:
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/tech ... ondrag.htm
or the ondragdrop window property (window.ondragdrop), as discussed here:
seem to work. They don't produce an error, but the handler never gets called.
This seems to be a capability left out of Mozilla (and in turn Firefox), yet there doesn't appear to be a bug report on it or discussion on the forums, which makes me wonder if it was an intentional omission. One reason why it might be intentional is that to fully handle drag-and-drop you potentially need to set many attributes (enabling the acceptance of dropped items, specifying the types of items accepted, etc.) and handlers, though you can get away with defaults in many cases. I could see developers arguing that merely providing a simple handler would be an incomplete solution, and thus leaving the feature out until someone was ready to implement the full capability. But I haven't seen any discussion like that.
I have found that the DOM specified technique:
document.addEventListener("dragdrop", handler, true);
works in Firefox (and I'd assume Mozilla), but still find it odd that the other documented forms are not functioning.
On a related matter, the DOM method doesn't seem to provide a way to communicate the dropped data. I think attributes of the Event object passed to the handler adequately communicate a reference to the source object when the source is on the same page (or at least the same application), but this doesn't seem to be the case when the source is another application. I've dissected the contents of the Event object passed to the handler, but I can't find any trace of the filename when dragging-and-dropping a file onto the browser window. One old example showed the data being passed as a second parameter to the event handler, but that doesn't seem to be happening now.
I've looked at the XUL equivalent:
in hopes of maybe finding an undocumented property or method that is accessible from JavaScript, but no luck. As best as I can figure, the API mentioned in that document isn't accessible from regular JavaScript and is substantially different from the DOM API.

Event Risk: An Analysis of Losses to Bondholders and "Super Poison Put" Bond Covenants
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): LELAND CRABBE
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 689-706
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1991.tb02680.x
Ten percent of the investment‐grade industrial bonds that were associated with major capital restructurings between 1983 and 1988 had already been downgraded to speculative grade as of August 1989. In response to these downgrades, and the corresponding wealth losses for bondholders, over 40 percent of recently issued investment‐grade industrial bonds are protected from this type of "event risk" by virtue of specialized covenants. These event‐risk convenants may have initially reduced interest costs for borrowers by roughly 20 to 30 basis points. However, the magnitude of the effect appears to have declined along with the general decline in corporate restructurings.

Sources have reported that Dwight Howard (torn labrum) and Pau Gasol (concussion) will be out indefinitely. Howard was questionable going into last night's loss to the Denver Nuggets but Howard did start, he played 41 minutes, and he tied his career high in rebounds with 26 boards. He sprained his rotator cuff in the second half of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers and aggravated it during last night's game. Howard underwent a MRI Monday morning which revealed he has suffered a torn labrum. It is unclear whether or not Howard will undergo surgery but some experts project a recovery time of four to six weeks without surgery. Howard will be reexamined next week.
Pau Gasol was also questionable entering last night's game but sustained an unrelated injury during the loss. In the fourth quarter, Pau Gasol was on the receiving end of an unintentional elbow from Javale McGee and he never returned to the game. It was confirmed after the game that Gasol sustained a concussion. Gasol is out indefinitely and will not travel to Houston or San Antonio this week.Tags: Basketball, Dwight Howard, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA, Pau Gasol

Demi Lovato Has Bipolar Disorder
"I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar. Looking back it makes sense. There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I'd be up until 5:30 in the morning. I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn't in control. … What's important for me now is to help others."
— Demi Lovato opens up about her bipolar disorder, just one day after Catherine Zeta-Jones shared with People that she suffers from bipolar II disorder (a variation of bipolar). Demi's confession sheds some light on the drama in November when she abruptly left the Jonas Brothers' world tour after a fight with a backup dancer. She checked into rehab (for an eating disorder and cutting), where she was diagnosed as bipolar. I applaud Demi Lovato for her candor about her mental health, especially at the young age of 18.

"If we don't see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed."
"Failure is not fatal. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments, not pull us to new depths of despair. From honest failure can come valuable experience."
"Optimists enrich the present, enhance the future, challenge the improbable and attain the impossible."
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."
"True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat."
"My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'"
"Life is a challenge, meet it! Life is a dream, realize it! Life is a game, play it! Life is Love, enjoy it!"
"Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other."

This week's platinum picks
Forbidden Games* * * * (out of four) 1952, Criterion, unrated, $30
As a French tot taken in by a farm family after her parents are killed in an air raid, 6-year-old Brigitte Fossey gives one of the most deservedly famed performances ever by a child performer.
Back story: Director René Clément was reticent to screen-test a child so young for a role that required major emoting, but his wife yelled at him during the audition to give Fossey a shot. The rest is history: best foreign film honors from Oscar and the New York Film Critics Association; Oscar nomination for story; the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion and more. As an adult, Fossey's credits included films by Francois Truffaut and Robert Altman.
Extras, extras: Interviews done over the years with both Clément and Fossey (solo and together), including one from 2001 where almost 50 years after her triumph, she is still the beautiful woman she grew up to be.
Next Stop, Greenwich Village* * * 1/2 1976, Fox, R, $10
If only to get away from an archetypal Jewish mother (high-test Shelley Winters in one of her most memorable roles), a recent college grad just has to bolt Brooklyn.
Back story: Writer/director Paul Mazursky's lovingly authentic look-back at the New York acting community during the early 1950s is at least partly autobiographical. Like the protagonist played by lead Lenny Baker (who died six years later at 37), aspiring actor Mazursky finally got a big break landing a role as a delinquent type. (He was one of Glenn Ford's students in Blackboard Jungle.) This bright comedy is packed with equally first-rate New York stage actors, including early screen appearances by Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum.
Extras, extras: Commentary by Mazursky and Ellen Greene, who made her screen debut as Baker's girlfriend.
1. Fantastic 4 2. Mr. and Mrs. Smith 3. The Dukes of Hazzard 4. Cinderella Man 5. War of the Worlds 6. March of the Penguins 7. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo 8. Polar Express 9. Christmas With The Kranks 10. Sky High
Provided by Home Video Essentials, a product of Rentrak Corporation
The 40-Year-Old Virgin * * * 1/2 2005, Universal, R and unrated versions, $30
There are titles like 1995's Destiny Turns on the Radio that tell you nothing about the movie you're about to see. And then there are titles ...
Back story: Steve Carell and Catherine Keener pair off harmoniously once his work buddies at an Circuit City-type electronics store figure out his deep, dark secret. And it's the workplace verbal horseplay that really puts the movie across: Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and especially Romany Malco are total stitches, as is Jane Lynch as their supervisor. This surprise box-office smash does such a good job of juggling raunch, honest sentiment and twisted forays that it just managed to sustain a nearly two-hour running time in theaters. The unrated DVD, however, runs 17 extra minutes, a bad idea.
Extras, extras: Commentary by Carell and director/co-writer (with Carell) Judd Apatow; deleted scenes; more.
Also in stores
Kid Galahad* * 1/2 1962, MGM/Sony, unrated, $15
Though the script saddles him with a name fit for Jerry Lewis ("Walter Gulick"), Elvis Presley uses his fists in the ring for one of his better second-tier films. The supporting cast is cool — Gig Young, Lola Albright, Charles Bronson, Joan Blackman — and the I Got Lucky number is about as zingy as Elvis' post-Army movie numbers got. As he and Blackman do the twist, she impressively keeps moving her hips while readjusting a fallen shoulder strap, twice.
You can't dance to it: The 1937 non-musical original isn't on DVD, despite starring Edward G. Robinson, Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart — and Wayne Morris as "Kid."
Bad News Bears* * 2005, Paramount, PG-13, $30
Billy Bob Thornton and his Bad Santa writers take a few weak swings at 1976's classic Walter Matthau original, a sleeper hit that did for Little League what Jim Bouton's book Ball Four did for (or to) the bigs. Coach Thornton swigs beer, plies his kids with their own (non-alcoholic) brewskies, takes them to Hooters ... you know, all the usual Abner Doubleday stuff. It all feels recycled, though Paramount went to great pains to differentiate this film from the '76 by removing that version's "The" from the title.
Extra innings: A $25 box also gets you the original, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training and The Bad News Bears Go to Japan.
Box sets
• The Adventures of Spin & Marty (complete first season, 1955, Disney, unrated, $33): Yes, it's snipe-hunt time. TV's The Mickey Mouse Club premiered this boys' dude ranch serial about a month into the show's run, and it proved so popular with both sexes that as late as 1958, there was still a tie-in comic book. Outdoorsy Spin (Tim Considine) and rich-kid Marty (David Stollery) spar, then bond. In a featurette, both actors reunite as adults on their old outdoor set.
• The Simpsons: The Complete Seventh Season (1995, Fox, unrated, $50): In one of the liveliest series collections yet, Krusty the Klown gets busted, the first George Bush moves into the neighborhood, and Homer enters a 3-D universe in Treehouse of Horror VI. You also get 22 Short Films About Springfield, which is somewhat less reverent than 1993's Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould.
• Matt Helm Lounge (1966-69, Sony, all but one unrated, $35): The Helm series' first and last entries —The Silencers (1966) and The Wrecking Crew (1969, PG) — usually get the edge over Murderers' Row (1966) and The Ambushers (1967). This is because female leads Stella Stevens and Sharon Tate (her last Hollywood film) do strikingly similar skilled variations on "the ditzy hottie," which play smoothly off Dean Martin's 180-proof secret agent.

Commuting to Work - Box
Commuting to Work - Box
Journey-to-Work Data
Three national sources of data provide information on the journey to work:
1. The Census Bureau administers the decennial census "long form," which contains several questions on the journey to work, to approximately 1 in 6 households (about 15 million in 1990). The census provides the most detailed demographic and geographic information on commuting behavior. The decennial census includes the Census Transportation Planning Package, a set of special tabulations on commuting for state, county, county subdivision, places over 2,500, and traffic analysis zones.
2. The American Housing Survey (AHS) contains many of the same commuting questions as the decennial census. Every odd year, the Census Bureau conducts the AHS for the Department of Housing and Urban Development with a sample of about 53,000 households nationwide.
3. The Federal Highway Administration conducts the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) approximately every 5 years. (The NPTS is now part of the National Household Travel Survey.) In 1995, the NPTS surveyed a national sample of about 42,000 households. Respondents recorded all trips, including work trips, made on a single day in a trip diary. The diary provided data on work trips (if the respondents went to work on that day) and their relationship to other activities and trips that day. Demographic and geographic data were collected for all respondents.

San Francisco (AFP) Feb 1, 2013
A Dutch man was sentenced to 12 years in a US prison on Friday for being an online "broker" for credit card numbers stolen in a computer hacking conspiracy.
David Schrooten struck a plea bargain in federal court in Seattle after being extradited from Romania for his role in a computer hacking and credit card fraud scheme, prosecutors said.
Schrooten, known as "Fortezza" in the hacker world, pleaded guilty in November to criminal charges related to hacking, bank fraud, and identity theft, according to Western District of Washington US Attorney Jenny Durkan.
"By trafficking over 100,000 credit card numbers stolen by hackers, this defendant helped create the profitable black market for stolen data," Durkan said in a release.
"We will target every link of the cyber crook business model," she continued.
"The hacker who stole the numbers was sentenced to seven years in prison, the broker who sold them online was sentenced today to 12 years in prison and next before the court will be the leader of a criminal gang that was using these credit card numbers for fraud."
Schrooten, 22, worked with an accomplice who stole credit card information from businesses by infecting point-of-sale terminals with malicious computer code, according to prosecutors.
Schrooten and his ally, identified as 21-year-old Christopher Schroebel of Maryland, sold stolen credit card numbers online, prosecutors said.
Investigators estimated that tens of thousands of people had their credit card numbers stolen and sold, and losses were calculated to tally more than $63 million.
A California man is set to go on trial by the middle of the year for his purported role purchasing and using stolen credit card numbers, according to Durkan.
"David Benjamin Schrooten's online criminal activities victimized thousands of US citizens and defrauded US banking intuitions out of millions of dollars," said Seattle Secret Service Agent in Charge Jim Helminski.
His arrest and conviction "demonstrates the Secret Service' ability to pursue criminal actors beyond the borders of the United States."

Juicy magazine asked Chante Moore about the sexuality rumors surrounding her ex-husband, Kenny Latimore. Chante isn't sure where the rumors started and she didn't feel comfortable speaking on it.
"I don't know where they [sexuality rumors] started. I wasn't personal friends with him for long. I was an acquaintance before we dated so I don't know anything about that. That really isn't a comfortable thing to talk about. Being that he isn't my husband anymore, I leave it up to him to answer because that's his life."

Editorial Review
At All Internal you will find pussies and asses oozing with cum. They have high definition porn videos that are exclusive to their site with over 258 models to choose from. There are over 285 30 minute videos and they add more each week. Offering 3 different qualities for watching the videos, the highest quality being WMV 1920x1080 at 5000kbps, the middle quality being MPEG 320x240 at 800kbps and the web viewing in flash FLV 400x300. Of course you cant have HD porn videos without a photo gallery to go with it, so their galleries have about 50 high quality photos to go along with the videos.

Early to bed, early to rise
It's my understanding that a bunch of my fans have gone through racing withdrawal. I'm sure those old re-runs of 2003 races on Speed Channel are getting pretty old by now. I know my Talladega wreck made all the 2003 highlight shows. If I never see another clip of that wreck again I will be very happy.
What have I been doing all winter long? Deer hunting, every single day. With all the sponsor commitments and racing that usually fills my schedule, it is so hard to get a moment to myself or time to spend with my family and friends. You all would have been proud of me; I got up every day at the crack of dawn, hunted all day, and went to bed early. Although hunting is very hard work, it's also a sport I enjoy. I'm now well rested and readier than ever to get back behind the wheel.
Passing the test
Testing is pretty boring to be honest with you. It's like practice for any other sport. My crew chief Todd Parrott brought two cars for us to ride around in, #38a and #38b. I go from one to the other and we try different things with each run. We've spent the first two days on qualifying and will practice drafting with other cars on the third day. Also, I can see how this sport is getting bigger and better with each year — there was a ton of media out for the test so I did a bunch of interviews.
The great escape hatch
I have to hand it to the boys back at the shop. They installed an escape hatch on all of the cars I will drive this year. I am a pretty big guy (6-2 and 200 pounds) and it's hard to crawl out of that driver's side window if there is any damage. So now I can pop the top off of my car if I ever needed another way to get out. It's just another safety innovation that helps keep the drivers safe. I hope I never get to test the roof hatch, but I'm sure glad it's an option.
One more test, then back to the grind
At the end of January we will head to Las Vegas for another test session. I will be staying a few extra days to rest up because as soon as the plane lands, we have to leave for Daytona. Look for the M&M's car in the Budweiser Shootout on Saturday, February 7. You might not recognize my car at first glance, so let me explain why.
The M&M's have lost their color.
At the stroke of midnight on January 1, the M&M's lost their colors. It's a pretty cool program the marketing folks at Masterfoods USA drummed up. The M&M's will be black and white, as will our car and crew, until the Atlanta race. Wait until you see how much better the colors will be when they are finally found. It's exciting to me to be involved with the creative programs and contests that M&M's does.
So don't think your TV is playing tricks on you — the #38 car is black and white — and we hope to match that with a nice, colorful trip to the winner's circle.
Thanks for letting me drop in! Make sure to check back prior to the shootout!


text: Some weeks ago I installed Linux alongside OS X. Just for fun, because I wanted to try it out. I'm not exactly sure what happened anymore, as it's been a while, but when I wanted to go back to just using OS X, somehow the partition I created for Linux got lost. It was about 20GB, and the partition itself doesn't show up anymore. Because of that I cannot reallocate the space to my primary partition. I have done a lot of searching, and the fixes I found did nothing for me. There were fixes including recovery software (to retrieve lost partitions and/or files), and there was a fix in which you had to enable 'debugging' mode in disk management. They didn't work, and the latter option did not make the partition show up after choosing 'show all partitions' (or something similar, my OS is in Dutch). The 20GB just seem to have disappeared into thin air (lol), and I kind of need the space seeing the very limited space the Air has anyway. How can I get the extra 20GB to show up again, and merge it with my main partition?

Save SF City College movement – Interview with Professor Bob Price
Listen to a half hour interview with Dr. Price on various aspects of the movement to save City College from excessive downsizing and possible closure. The movement appears to be focused right now on at least 3 lawsuits aimed to curb the power of the corrupt capitalist oversight board ACCJC, and internal staff, faculty, and student actions aimed at reasonably complying with the draconian, destructive demands of the so-called "audit". From my perspective, while the board is shown as a "rogue" entity, out of control, the actions are actually fitting precisely with national and worldwide corporatization and downsizing of the higher education system. None of this is – as always characterized in media - an individual issue with one college, but rather an overt attack on the State Community College system in coordination with parallel national downsizing/privatization issues.

Dr. Price is a long-time City College chemistry professor and involved in many political struggles. I prompt the discussion around a few contentious issues. I prompt him towards straight discussion on the corrupt, disingenuous nature of this entire process and real motivations behind it.
Dr. Price explains how none of the audit issues have remotely anything to do with quality of education. While considered by many a "rogue" board with its own agenda, the overriding set of authoritarian actions against City College fit in quite nicely with the regressive sets of goals of Federal level Obama Administration educational policy. Several touched on are downsizing, privatization, and corporatization. The restructuring is resulting in private sector profiteers running the system directly, with a very limited focus toward fast-tracked Associate Degree and maybe certification programs in a few fields which supply corporations with free and cheap workers.
The audit demands and structural changes already put into place to accomplish these aims also fit overall system maneuvers to continue excessive profiteering for the top 1%, achieved by downsizing everyone and everything else involved in the system. Downsizing staff size, compensation, autonomy, and quality of teaching is a main objective. Additionally a climate in which official university bodies can't even meet an a retaliatory criticism-free zone. I've read direct quotes in the newspapers from ACCJC spokes people and lawyers justifying these standards, along with insistence that the courts keep related parties, the general public, and local, state and federal government silent to maintain
The goal is to provide minimal, at will lower-paid lecturers teaching to rote, federally developed course syllabuses in private corporations. Students limited to fast-track two year full-time technical degree candidates, virtually all forced to go into Federal student loan and family debt for a chance to "compete" for an increasingly narrow set of adequate jobs. Students proceeding slower will be flagged for punitive threat to speed up or leave, per unilateral focus on speed of graduation rate.
No unions or staff involvement in school policy. No student involvement in any type of school policy. Especially no student, staff, or worker activism allowed. Private administrators rule with an iron hand. No programs for any of the diverse sets of individuals who use the school for a variety of positive community based aims. As example, downsizing and erosion of federally-mandated disability rights and the programs that facilitate them including rights to go at individualized pace with individualized student programs and counseling assistance.
Elimination of non-degreed programs for groups such as elderly, people in extreme poverty with
social service needs including transportation assistance. Empowering non-corporate alternatives such as gender studies, ethnic studies, arts and media, language and cultural classes, and physical education – all currently utilized actively – eliminated as too costly and non-essential.
Another group caught in the crossfire are students who are working towards a degree on a part-time and casual basis while working and otherwise supporting themselves and family without debt or overwhelm. Very low income people cannot afford to go into debt for a small "chance to compete". The set of problems probably goes on and on…
Dr. Price speaks articulately and in some detail about some of these overriding issues. He discusses union problems and a current, very controversial internal quieting of direct action activism.

Hear audio from a save city college rally back in July 2013. Activists gathered on a Friday afternoon in the Financial District, took over most of a whole block between Market and Mission St. Students, teachers and other workers, union reps, and others speak out strongly against the actions against the college. (22 minutes)
Things seem quiet around this issue now. After a burst of internal and external activism. Three lawsuits were filed to stop the unilateral decision to shut down City College over a myriad of "audit violations" having nothing to do with educational standards, stacked arbitrarily to be impossible to implement and also to force gutting of educational and worker standards or else. A court mandated that no action be taken until completion of the audit, and City College administration continues to work feverishly on further compliance. The school is spending money on a push to inform students it intends to continue, with enrollment and state funding forced downward and new and prospective students unclear on their future.
Significant debates have gone on about the usefulness of activism. Some in institutional positions and union employees worried it is creating counterproductive diversions. More knowledgeable activists urge more actions, knowing that the regressive ACCJC actions serve counterproductive privatization and corporatized downsizing favored by the power elite.

Epson EMP-TW10, RRP $2699 ****½
How quickly prices fall. A couple of years ago I reviewed a widescreen LCD projector similar to this one, except that it cost more than $7000. This Epson widescreen unit sells for well under $3000.
It uses that odd WVGA resolution, which means 854 pixels wide by 480 tall. Still less than perfect for PAL, but much better than SVGA. This projector also has a super wide throw. That means it sits quite close to the screen (1.5 metres for a 1.5 metre diagonal picture). That is convenient when you just want to stick it on a coffee table for a quick movie.
A full set of inputs are provided, including component video sockets with support for high-definition signals. Not that you would bother, since they are converted to the projector's native resolution anyway.
As with most inexpensive LCD projectors, the blacks are not especially black and the pixels on the screen tend towards thin black borders. It is best to go for a slightly smaller picture than it is capable of to keep these under control. However, the colour performance is good and the price is great.
INPUTS 1 x composite video, 1 x S-Video, 1 x component video, 1 x D-SUB15 computer
PICTURE STANDARDS All video standards up to 1080i and 720p high definition, all computer standards up to 1024 x 768
RESOLUTION 852 x 480
DIMENSIONS 402 x 294 x 114mm
WEIGHT 3.6kg
WEB www.epson.com.au
Sanyo PLC-SW30, RRP $1999 ***½
Don't want to install a monster projector? Well, the Sanyo PLC-SW30 will sit nicely on a piece of A4 paper, and is not much thicker than a ream. Reflecting its business orientation, it is equipped with audio inputs and a tiny speaker. This is not suitable for listening to your DVDs. Big pictures demand big sound.
Try not to make the picture too big, though. This is another 4:3 projector that can be set to operate in 16:9 widescreen mode. Since its native resolution is SVGA (800 by 600 pixels), you will only get 450 pixels of vertical resolution with widescreen DVDs.
Normally I object strongly to that, but remember we are talking $2000 here, not $15,000. This thing you just keep in the cupboard and yank it out in the evening to watch a movie.
The contrast ratio is fairly low, with blacks showing as dark greys. And there is a fairly strong screen door effect (where each pixel has a black border around it).
Even with these deficiencies, just the sheer size of a projected picture is more engaging with most movies than any other display option.
INPUTS 1 x composite video, 1 x S-Video, 1 x D-SUB15 computer (usable as component video with optional adaptor)
PICTURE STANDARDS All video standards up to 1080i and 720p high definition, all computer standards up to 1280 x 1024
RESOLUTION 800 x 600
DIMENSIONS 270 x 190 x 78mm
WEIGHT 2.1kg
WEB www.sanyo.com.au
ScreenPlay 5700, RRP $9999 ****½
Almost all projectors use engines designed to work best with computers or United States TV standards. So hooray for the ScreenPlay 5700 that uses Texas Instruments' new widescreen "Matterhorn" chip - the first to provide just the right resolution for the PAL system used by our TVs and DVDs.
It adds another virtue: a digital visual interface (DVI) input with support for HDCP. That means that new DVD players can deliver the picture digitally to this projector, providing better quality even than component video. There are lots of other inputs as well.
ScreenPlay projectors tend to produce a bit too much light output for my taste, restricting the contrast ratio a bit. Still, the 5700 produces the darkest blacks of the projectors reviewed here. The colour performance is excellent, as is the Faroudja DCDi scaling from other resolutions (required for imported NTSC DVDs). On PAL DVDs, for which it was specifically designed, it performs perfectly.
The only real problem with this projector is that the price of some of the higher-resolution DLP projectors are starting to edge near its $10,000 price tag.
INPUTS 1 x composite video, 2 x S-Video, 2 x component video, 1 x D5 (mini component), 1 x D-SUB15 computer, 1 x DVI (with HDCP support)
PICTURE STANDARDS All video standards up to 1080i and 720p high definition, all computer standards up to 1280 x 1024
RESOLUTION 1024 x 576
DIMENSIONS 351 x 325 x 110mm
WEIGHT 4.3kg

Sharp XV-Z91E, RRP $5495 ***
OK, this is not a real widescreen projector. Some confusion in communication resulted in Sharp sending its budget DLP 4:3 projector, but it makes a fitting example of two things. First, the overall improvement in picture quality that DLP delivers over LCD projectors. Second, why you should not buy an SVGA (800 by 600) projector for home theatre work.
DLP projectors use a chip with (in this case) 480,000 microscopic mirrors that control the light projected through the lens.
A major advantage over LCD is that they are better able to make the black parts of the picture noticeably darker than most LCDs. This projector does that quite well. The colour performance is good and there is only a little "rainbow effect" (unexpected flashes of colour appearing on the screen).
The downside of this projector is that even though it will make a nice big picture, your DVDs will be shown with a vertical resolution of just 450 pixels, or 20 per cent less than what should be shown.
The lens shift makes it easy to get the picture on screen, so it is great for ad hoc use.
INPUTS 1 x composite video, 1 x S-Video, 1 x component video, 1 x D-SUB15 computer
PICTURE STANDARDS All video standards up to 1080i and 720p high definition, all computer standards up to 1280 x 720
RESOLUTION 800 x 600

The Levy County Commission did a little housekeeping on the proposed 2010-2011 budget in a special meeting on Monday and then approved the $58,531,978 spending plan.
Property owners will not have their millage — 7.4212 mills — raised, nor will county employees be receiving a raise in pay. But the commission will be absorbing the cost of an 11.8 percent increase in the employees' health insurance for the workers and their families.

But Dionysia had sworn to herself, as she came, that nothing should turn her aside from her purpose.
She had to remain in the form of a sea serpent because of Dionysia's neglect.
The eager zeal of the woman had, at least, this advantage,—that it prevented Dionysia from giving way to her painful thoughts.
Compare the procession in the Panathena and Dionysia, supra, p. 248.
So your aunt was to have lived here—the divine, the fascinating Dionysia, as I remember her years ago.
A sob, which Dionysia could not suppress, made Blangin start.
Dionysia sailed and sailed in the little ship and at last it bore her to a lovely island.
It was then that the jailer had handed him the prisoner's letter for Dionysia.
What can have happened to Dionysia, that she does not come back?
If he is so dear to you, how could you dare read the letter he had written to Dionysia?

Crew of four aboard B-1 bomber rescued after crash
WASHINGTON (AP) An Air Force B-1B bomber flying
a long-range combat mission to Afghanistan crashed in the Indian Ocean Wednesday.
A Navy ship pulled all four crew members to safety. "We're all pretty bruised
up and have some cuts, but overall we're doing very well," the bomber's pilot,
Capt. William Steele, told reporters at the Pentagon in a satellite telephone
call from the USS Russell, the guided missile destroyer that launched a small
boat to rescue the crew in darkness. Steele spoke about five hours after his
B-1B Lancer crashed into the warm waters 60 miles north of Diego Garcia, a British-controlled
island in the central Indian Ocean. He said the crew spent two hours in the
water before the Russell came to their rescue, aided by an Air Force KC-10 that
first located the downed fliers, maintained radio contact and pinpointed their
location for the Russell.
The B-1B was the first U.S. airplane
lost in the war in Afghanistan, which entered its 67th day Wednesday. Air Force
B-1Bs and B-52s have made almost daily bombing runs over Afghanistan from the
start; in recent weeks they have been pounding al-Qaeda mountain hide-outs in
the Tora Bora region.
said his bomber suffered multiple malfunctions which he declined to discuss
in detail which caused it to go "out of control." He ruled out hostile
fire as a cause for the bomber's malfunctions.
The most recent previous B-1B crash, in 1998, occurred
when a fire in the cockpit instrument panel shut down the plane's power over
Kentucky. All four crew members ejected safely.
Steele said he was not allowed to say whether he was heading
toward or away from Afghanistan at that point, but Pentagon officials said the
B-1B was about 100 miles north of Diego Garcia en route to Afghanistan when
the crew declared an in-flight emergency.
The bomber headed back toward Diego Garcia in hope of landing
there, but 15 minutes after declaring an emergency the crew decided they had
to eject, Steele said. They parachuted onto calm seas at about 10:30 p.m. (11:30
a.m. ET).
Diego Garcia is about 2,500 miles from Afghanistan.
more about the B-1 and other aircraft
The USS Russell was operating off Diego Garcia, although
its home port is Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The ship's commanding officer, Cmdr.
Hank Miranda, told reporters that "everything worked like clockwork" once he
got word of the crew's location.
Maj. Brandon Nugent, mission commander on the KC-10 tanker
which first contacted the downed crew, told reporters his plane was flying an
unrelated mission when it heard the bomber's distress call. After picking up
signals from an emergency locator transmitter, his crew detected a flare in
the water and passed on the information to the Russell.
Victoria Clarke, spokeswoman for Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, expressed gratitude for the crew's efforts.
"This underscores what we try to remember all the time:
the men and women of the U.S. military put their lives at risk every single
day, and we are very grateful for that and we're thinking of them," she said.
Two of the B-1B's crew members are based at Ellsworth Air
Force Base, S.D., and two are based at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho,
Steele said.
The Air Force estimates the cost of a B-1B at $280 million.
Steele's was the first B-1B to crash on a combat mission
since the supersonic long-range bomber became operational in 1986. The most
recent previous fatal crash was in September 1997 in Montana; all four members
of the crew perished.
Since 1984, when the first production model flew in testing,
17 people have been killed in B-1B crashes. The plane was conceived in the 1970s
as a nuclear bomber but was canceled in 1977. Flight testing of four B-1A models
continued, and the improved B-1B variant was initiated by the Reagan administration
in 1981.
The B-1B flew its first combat mission in Iraq in December

If there's one thing the entire country, Left, Right, Center, Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, whomever, can agree on, it's that if you're going to send young men and women into hostile environments where they could easily wind-up dead or permanently disabled, you owe those young men and women a debt of gratitude, and they should not be treated like political footballs. But apparently, that universal truth is not known to every one in the Republican party. Hot on the heels of killing a Veterans Jobs Act that would have helped train and find jobs for our returning Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans, word broke yesterday that an anonymous Republican Senator has chosen to use the annual, bi-partisan bill to give disabled veterans a cost of living benefit increase to do just that; politicize something that should just be accepted practice.
The depths to which the government-hating Republican party have sunk to are despicable, to put it mildly.
As I wrote in a previous piece, the act of a Republican lawmaker standing in the way of assistance to veterans is particularly galling. When George W. Bush, a Republican, asked Congress twice to go to war during his Presidency, Republicans in Congress couldn't wait to approve the resolutions to start pounding the drums of war. After all, Defense is their pet industry, and anything they can do to prop it up is fine by them. Or rather, anything they can do to line the pockets of Defense contractors, they're all for. Because clearly, they've turned the corner on combat, and soldiers, young men and women who in many cases are fresh out of High School with very few options in front of them for advanced education without military service, are now simply tools of the trade. Once they're use as physical assets on the ground is up, Republicans appear ready to put them out to pasture and let them fend for themselves.

Nicknamed the "celebriturkeys," this year's soon to be pardoned turkeys Gobbler and Cobbler of Rockingham County, Va., were introduced to the world Tuesday at the W Hotel.
"They've got it good, I tell ya," remarked Steve Willardsen, the chairman of the National Turkey Federation, noting the two birds' plush accommodations at the W Hotel. "They've been good guests, they've remained quiet in their rooms, we haven't had any noise complaints from their neighbors," added Ed Baten, general manager of the W Hotel.
For the first time, the White House is holding a contest online to designate which turkey will be officially pardoned and which turkey will serve as an alternate at Wednesday's ceremony. (Spoiler alert: In the end, both birds will be spared). As for how these birds compare to their tabled counterparts. "These are larger," explained Willardsen. "They would be used for things like deli breast and sliced turkey sandwiches and so forth."

On Wednesday, DSW (DSW) posted disappointing fiscal first-quarter results and trimmed its outlook for the rest of the year. Investors didn't like the news and DSW stock plunged about 20% in pre-market trading.
DSW shares sank after the shoe retailer said it earned $38.6 million during the quarter. That was slightly better than the $34.5 million profit it reported in the year-ago period. EPS came in at 42 cents, but that missed the 48 cents that analysts had forecast, the Wall Street Journal noted.
Sales of $598.9 million fell short of the $622 million that analysts had forecast.
Looking forward, DSW said that it now anticipates full-year earnings of between $1.45 and $1.60 per share. DSW had previously predicted a fiscal year profit of between $1.80 and $1.95 per share.
DSW also indicated that it expects same-store sales to fall in the low single digits this year.
The retailer's stock closed at $32.93 per share on Tuesday.

This is a terrific pickled eggs with beets recipe that is so very simple to make using canned beets instead of fresh like how I normally make. Using canned beets really make sense for pickled eggs like this because beets are secondary player in this recipe. Love the use of juniper berries too. I followed the recipe completely except reduced the sugar just a smidgen only but I don't think that made any difference at all. Overall, I love the taste of these eggs, beets and onion. Served with pickled herring and glass of cabernet from California for a light lunch. Thank you Kathy228 for posting this recipe.

It's B-A-N-A-N-A-S or a BOY: Has Rachel Zoe had her baby?
The baby watch is on.
As we know, celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe has reportedly checked into Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles Tuesday after going into labor.
The suspense is "bananas!" – as Zoe, 39, would say.
Fans of Zoe can hardly wait to get a peek at her bundle of joy, not to mention its first ensemble.
Zoe and husband Roger Berman are expecting a boy, who is already being hailed as "the world's most fashionable" infant.
It's a hefty title to live up to, but with a momma who was spotted stomping around in six-inch Brian Atwood boots during her last week of pregnancy, baby Zoe-lander should do just fine.
Zoe will be adding her son to the count of stars she gets to dress, which includes Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Anne Hathaway and Penelope Cruz.

Over the past year, silver and gold have been absolutely demolished. I've penned a few articles about the precious metals stating my case for why I'm very bullish long-term on both gold and silver and why I think the bottoms might be in. I written about why I think silver is ready to run again, why metals are effective hedges against QE tapering, and the basics of precious metals.
Here, you can see how both metals have fared over the past year:
It's been ugly, to say the least. Also, just as people buy into rallies, people sell short into bear raids, hammering both of these metals and their corresponding major ETFs (silver - SLV, gold - GLD). Investors love a good ole' fashion "pile on", no matter what direction its driving a stock, and that's what we're witnessing this past year with gold and silver.
The latest to pile on silver has been a slew of analysts over the past few weeks, each issuing their own corresponding downgrades. In this article, I'll argue again why downgrades hold no long-term merit and what recent history has taught me about analyst downgrades with relation to precious metals.
Recently, silver has been downgraded by UBS who cited this insane reasoning:
Monday cut its outlook on silver prices for this year and next, warning that the metal is liable to be dragged lower on gold's coattails as the U.S. Federal Reserve prepares to scale back its stimulus program.
The bank slashed its one-month silver forecast 32.7% to $17.50 a troy ounce and cut its three-month silver forecast 26.8% to $20.50 an ounce. This year, it expects silver to average $24 an ounce, down 17.2% on its previous forecast. In 2014, it sees silver averaging $25 an ounce, down 16.7% on its earlier outlook.
At 0802 GMT, silver was trading at $19.64 an ounce on the European spot market.
"Silver continues to lack its own drivers at the moment and is therefore taking its cues from the gold market. This means that the white metal would also come under pressure as gold sentiment sours further," said UBS analyst Joni Teves. "Given silver's tendency to overshoot gold moves, the downside risks are greater in the short term.".
The reasoning here is completely off-the-wall for several reasons that I'm going to point out.
As a preface, let me just set the record straight on where I sit with precious metals. I come from the "old school" of Austrian economics. Austrian economics dictate that market corrections and pullbacks are good things - they represent the actual supply and demand of products and services and how they correspond to a company's valuation.
At their fundamental state, precious metals like gold and silver are both non-renewable, meaning that there's a finite amount of these items in the world as we know it. Unlike our currency, we can't just "make more" gold and silver out of nothing. This is why, as we print money, gold and silver's value continues to rise as the correlation of these metals to amount of printed currency continues to skew out of whack. This is where these precious metals find their value.
So, citing the U.S. Federal Reserve's pullback in QE isn't exactly a reason to downgrade a precious metal. The bear argument here is that because the Fed will print less money, the value of these metals will taper. However, it doesn't take in account the monstrous decline that both metals have already faced over the last year and how that is already priced in. It also doesn't taken into account the biggest "DUH!" factor that these analysts missed: if the Fed tapers QE, gold and silver will be huge hedges against a falling market, driving their prices up, not down.
Also, citing that silver will move on gold's coattails is also a case of "right idea, wrong execution". Silver is used in industry significantly more than gold. Also, silver's volatility compared with gold suggests that it doesn't always ride gold's coattails. Saying that silver lacks its own drivers right now is like saying that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) lacks its own catalysts and is just following the sentiments of the entire auto industry. Yes, they're both precious metals. No, they aren't always correlated.
In his excellent recent article regarding the state of both silver and gold, Emmet Kodesh comments:
Certainly retail demand for silver is very strong: Recent price declines have led to 800% increase in sales for retailers like Provident Metals. The US Mint has sold record amounts of silver eagle dollar coins YTD and demand for precious metal coins, jewelry and bars is high in Asia, too. Though the rate of Asian buying has slowed in June, by early May, Heywood Cheung, President of the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange said late in April (see previous link) that dealers had exhausted physical stockpiles in trying to satisfy surging demand, the highest in thirty years. How then to understand what is being taught by the radical decline of silver prices, 37% YTD and counting?
It's clear that silver is heavily in demand. So, what is the meaning of this downgrade, then? Why can analysts just be piling onto silver as the price is crushed?
I'll argue that, like institutions often do, it's to move the price of the metal (and corresponding equities and derivatives) in both the short term and the long term. No serious economist is really going to argue with you about whether gold or silver will rise in value at some point eventually as time progresses. They are both non-renewable, therefore their values are controlled. Versus inflation and money printing, they are bound to continue to rise as they become rarer through time.
I'd argue that this is a short term downgrade, potentially to buy or cover a short position. Think institutions don't do that? Look at what happened with Goldman Sachs and gold a couple of months ago. I wrote about Goldman's downgrade and subsequent total change of heart on gold (after they had covered a short):
Imagine my surprise on April 23, less than two weeks after Goldman's massive downgrade, I see front page on CNBC.com with the headline "Surprise! Goldman Covers Gold Short":
Goldman Sachs on Tuesday reversed its high-profile call to short gold, which it made two weeks ago, just before the metal sunk into bear market territory.
The firm's commodities research team said the decline in gold was more rapid than it expected, and it exited the trade with a potential gain of 10.4 percent, below its original target price of $1,450.
Interesting. Goldman was short gold before issuing a "world is going to end" style downgrade on gold and then covered their entire short after the market and the common folk sold off to bring gold down about 15%? Duly noted. I'm not saying its market manipulation, rather just a series of coincidences. Yeah, let's call it that.
For our visual learners, here's a picture version of all that pesky text you might not want to read through:
Is it out of the question that this is what we're seeing here with silver? I think not.
To further make my point about precious metals being good long-term investments, take a look at silver & gold's long-term charts compared to their one year charts:
The metals are both experiencing insane returns over the last 20-year period and are both arguably in the middle of a tremendous long-term bull run. There are tons of arguments out there against gold and silver, as you may have noticed over the past couple of years, but in the long term, as long as we are not heading back to the gold standard, both metals will rise in value correlating with inflation.
To conclude, my argument remains extremely bullish for silver in the face of institutions downgrading it.
I made my arguments for silver instead of gold in a previous article:
Silver is easily the more volatile of the two metals. As silver has many applications in industry, as well as being a hedge for investors, it tends to make sharp moves in both directions. Sharp price moves mean extra risk, but also extra reward if you can time the upward movements correctly. Aside from investors buying silver for the same reasons they buy gold -- primarily an inflation/end of the world type hedge -- silver remains in demand no matter what the current market sentiment is on holding precious metals as insurance.
Gold is the most well known commodity, and as such, is most susceptible to inflation and overbuying in times of panic. Because of this, the gold/silver correlation spread is much larger than it would (or should) normally be. From a buyers stand point, this just means that silver is a better value buy than gold right now.
Also, as long as the Fed continues to keep things warm and fuzzy, a faction of gold holders are going to continue moving their money out of gold and into other investment vehicles. Silver, again, benefits from its use in manufacturing and industry. If the economy continues to churn upward on actual demand, silver is going to stay in demand and will rope the spread with gold back in.
Dollar cost averaging a position in silver bullion or one of its corresponding equities is a savvy move as you're assured the price will never suffer from 100% loss and, over time, will continue to rise.
I'm betting that over the coming days we're privy to a continued silver rally off its lows in the $17's and that we find out certain analysts have covered positions as they shift gears to neutral or upgrades.
I remain bullish and long on both precious metals, especially silver. Best of luck to all traders.
Disclosure: I am long SLV. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Oro valley to offer free pool and spa safety inspections
In May, the United States will celebrate Building Safety Month. First observed in 1980 as Building Safety Week, this annual event raises public awareness of important safety issues that affect everyone. The Town of Oro Valley will recognize Building Safety Month by launching a summer-long program offering free safety inspections of pool/spa barriers and enclosures.
Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children under age five in Arizona," said Chuck King, Building Official for the Town of Oro Valley. "As such, the Town's inspection staff is particularly diligent when it comes to pool and spa safety. We hope our residents will take advantage of this program."
Beginning May 1, through Labor Day, any Town resident may call the Inspection & Compliance Division at 229-4815 to schedule a free inspection. Inspectors will verify that critical features designed to separate children from pools and spas are in place in accordance with the Town's currently adopted Pool & Spa Code. If they are deficient they will point out where those deficiencies are and offer suggestions with regard to how they can be remedied. This will not obligate the owner to make corrections but will provide direction to those equally interested in safety.
For more information on the Town of Oro Valley's Development and Infrastructure Services Department, please visit us online at: www.orovalleyDIS.com.

Best iPod Touch/iPhone games
What the title says basically. Most of the stuff on the web is outdated or not very concise so has anyone got any suggestions? Free stuff, paid stuff, realistic graphics, indie projects, whatever!
I don't have an Iphone, and I only played this on an IPad, but is Game Dev Story an Iphone game too? If so, then that. Game Dev Story is -awesome-

Just going through some of the games I've got (some may be iPad-only, and for that I apologise)
Strategery -- Dice Wars/Risk-esque game
Lux Touch -- Pretty much a straightforward Risk clone
Slay -- 90s Windows shareware strategy game ported to iOS
Dungeon Raid -- Like a roguelike version of Puzzle Quest. The free version lacks the class/race customization, but the game was launched without it and was a MAJOR TIMESINK back then so you could quite conceivably get hours of play out of it without paying a penny
Bookworm -- Popcap wordgame goodness
Marple -- Logic puzzle game, very close to an old DOS shareware game called Sherlock
Solipskier -- There's a free Flash version but the iOS version works very, very nicely
Tiki Totems 1/2/Lavalanche -- Tap blocks to remove them without letting the golden idol hit the ground. 1 is nice enough, 2 adds further blocks and Lavalanche puts a slightly different twist on the gameplay
Block Breaker Deluxe 2 -- Very nice Arkanoid clone
Magnetic Billiards Blueprint -- If I had to sum it up as "x meets y" I'd say "Pool meets E-Motion".
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney -- Sublime game. No idea if the other games will be coming to iOS but the original remains a wonderful treat
Tilt to Live -- Nice tilt-controlled avoid 'em up
Trainyard -- Lovely puzzle game. The free version, Trainyard EX, has a completely different (and quite extensive) set of levels to the paid-for version so you'll get plenty of play out of it before you have to spend any money
Wolfenstein RPG / Doom 2 RPG -- Takes the classic id titles and turns them into Dungeon Master-style RPGs
Eliss -- Awesome indie multitouch game.
geoDefense /geoDefense Swarm -- Tower defence games with the Geometry Wars glowing vector aesthetic. I'm not normally much of a TD fan but these are really good
Candy Train / Unpleasant Horse -- Two free titles churned out by Popcap's experimental wing, where developers are given a random two-word game name and a limited time to create it. Definitely worth checking out.
lilt line -- Guide a line through levels by tilting. What you think of this game may well depend on your tolerance for dubstep btw
XOR -- Classic 8-bit puzzler ported to iOS. Like a more logic-driven version of Boulderdash
Piczle Lines -- Hugely addictive puzzle game, based on the Japanese magazine puzzle "Link-a-Pix". If you've ever played the ace DS puzzler Pic Pic, this is the same as its Drawing set of puzzles
Plants vs Zombies -- IT'S PLANTS VS ZOMBIES
Peggle -- IT'S PEGGLE
Osmos -- IT'S etc.
Quell -- It's a lot like Amiga puzzler The Power.
Dungeons & Dice -- Clone of the Games Workshop game Talisman. Can't recommend it right now because you seem to lose your game whenever you exit the app, but definitely worth keeping an eye on in case they fix this
Quarrel -- Ace word game, like a cross between Risk and Countdown with Scrabble scoring
iSlash -- Slice bits off a shape while avoiding the bouncing things inside. At it's heart it's pretty much Qix/Jezzball, but that's not bad thing
Crimson: Steam Pirates -- Turn-based game a bit like Flash game SteamBirds (slightly controversially, as the original dev has accused Bungie of cloning their game). Has its own twist on the formula though, and the first 8 levels are free (further scenarios purchasable as DLC)
Bejewelled 2 - About 7 hours under my belt of this. It's pretty much all I play. That said...
Civilization Revolution - It's not Retina, but it's still fairly good looking. It's Civ IV redux, really, and I think it plays very well.
Risk - It's a modern version rather than the original Imperialistic-type setting, but I find it fairly enjoyable from time to time
Canabalt - iOS version of the Flash game, but suffers from a shorter horizontal span. Still worth getting, though.
