Judgejudy is a very interesting person.
Yuna has to make it out of Nationals first.
Only one who could "beat" Yuna would be Tonya Harding... Then the rest of the girls in the competition would have half a chance.
I voted for Caro. If Yuna returns to her Olympic form I am not sure she is beatable, but I think that
a clean Caro can come closer than Mao or Ashley.
Kostner just scored 65 points in the Golden Spin SP with a 3T-3T and a 3 loop. I think she just proved she doesn't need to up her technical difficulty at all to remain a contender. And really, why would she now with the scores she's getting?
This is why I'm glad Kim is back. We should NOT be seeing 1980s jump content win World titles in this day and age!
I like the fact Carolina attempted a 3Lutz during her latest FS, hopefully other ladies will slowly upgrade their content so this can be a serious sport again.
However, I strongly disagree with this acceptance to win by PCS approach. We generally don't accept this for the men, so why should we accept for the ladies?
Consider Kostner's latest FS that consist of just 1 clean 3T, 2 <, a 3Lutz step out (not even qualify for minimum TES), yet she still received higher PCS for that skate than Akiko from NHK who had the FS of her life there. Do you still think the system got the balance right? Does it make a fair competition? Would this be acceptable during the Olympics under even greater scrutiny and watchful eye of a world wide audience beyond this figure skating board?

I am not sure why Yu Na Kim even worries about doing the 3/3 in the SP any more. It is clearly not needed. She will easily get the PCS to boost her score. She should just do a 3lutz/2toe, 2axel and 3flip. She could even do a solo 3toe and still be right there. I would hate to see her punished for actually attempting technical content and lose to these ladies doing content from the early 90s.

By the way... why isn't Michelle Kwan on this poll... I am disgusted!!
Your comment about the ladies from the early 90's is laughable. Some of those ladies were doing fully rotated 3Lutz-3toe, 3A-2t, 3A, etc. which is a stronger content than what they are doing now. Most of them were attempting at least a 3lutz without a combination.
Yu Na has never been the most consistent LP skater, even in her glory days. Best to do what she does best, kill the opposition in the SP, not just beat them, and give herself a cushion for potential errors/problems in the LP. It would be silly to drop the 3/3 from her SP, it is actually very consistent for her over the years, and she should want to give herself the biggest leads she can.
And I couldn't find it on her face.
Her success rate on 3/3, 3Lz, 3S, 3S-2T, 2A-2T-2L and 2A during the warm-up and dress-rehearsal was 100%.
Finding her own entry route, popped 3F twice at first but then hit them all.
Back to the topic, I believe everybody, whethere on the list or not, has the chance if her performance could be the best in the competition.
This too will pass away.
I was being quite sarcastic while making a serious point at the same time. You are right about the comment about the early 90's being laughable and that illustrates my point even more. I should correct it to say "content from the 80s." Who thought this would be ladies skating in the year 2012?
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
The technical content has regressed quite a bit in the absence of Yu-Na but the upside is we're seeing more complete programs in terms of artistry, presentation, musicality, etc. I like harder content but (being a fan of 6.0 skating) I'd much rather see an inspired performance of lovely choreography performed with a decent spread of jumps...rather than a program full of perfunctory choreography that basically equates to skating from end to end reeling off as many triple jumps as allowed.
I'll take 6 or 7 triples without a 3-3 if the program is great and the jumps are clean. I'm not as concerned with 3-3s as some people are. Yu-Na's consistent 3-3 is a threat to everyone b/c she hits it more than 90% of the time and it immediately gives her a boost everywhere else. Without some sort of 3-3, no one really stands a chance against her technically unless she makes a mistake. If she goes clean, she'll win without question...if she makes mistakes, she opens the door but whoever steps through will have to be nearly perfect (if not 100%) to beat her and the only people who can beat a flawed Yu-Na right now are are Mao, Carolina and I'd say Ashley too...if they are 100%.
I agree, she ain't dropping it from the SP. She's been including a 3-3 in the SP her entire senior career and she doesn't seem like the type to play it safe even though most of her competitors are attempting easier jumps.

Most Students Receiving Merit Aid
Many colleges advertise generous merit scholarships without explaining that there are actually several different kinds of merit aid. Some colleges, for example, give fancy merit-sounding names to scholarships that they award to qualified students who have also shown that they can't afford the college's full price.
The federal government only awards Pell Grants based on the student's "need" for money to pay for college. Some elite colleges also only award aid to students who they believe can't afford tuition, since they say all of their students are meritorious.
This chart lists the colleges that report the highest percentage of their students in the 2012-2013 academic year who "had no financial need and who were awarded institutional non-need-based scholarship or grant aid" excluding athletic awards and tuition benefits.

So sorry to hear of the split. I really enjoyed this pairing and hope they both get new partners soon especially Mervin.
Amelie Loop Lacoste has the whole set of triples on paper. I don't think she is a good match but we have seen so many unmatched skaters pairing up because of that irrational thing called love.
Think of it this way: the man serves as the foundation for all pair elements. Would you prefer that the foundation of your house was made of jello and the first floor of concrete, or that the foundation of your house was concrete and the first floor was jello? Obviously, you'd prefer to have both a solid foundation and first floor, but if your foundation is shaky, it doesn't matter how solid the first floor is: it will collapse.
Okay, now say that you have a solid concrete foundation and a solid first floor made with wood framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, paint, appliances, and that dog filled with jello. Is is "harder" to be a concrete foundation or a complicated first floor? Certainly there is a lot more that can go wrong on the first floor - and if something goes wrong, like the refrigerator explodes with enough force that it shakes the house, the foundation provides the support to keep the house from shifting too much and falling down on the occupants.
In other words: it's much harder to learn the boy's role in pairs; the girl can't do much of anything unless the boy is serving as the foundation, and the boy needs to understand how to react when any of the 18 trillion things that can go wrong actually go wrong. That learning curve is difficult to rush. Once both skaters understand how to skate pairs, the boy's role is indeed less complex than the girl's: it is easier to throw someone than to be thrown, although when the boy messes up, he looks fine while his partner is sitting on the ice and everyone is saying Jane fell on the throw. (Good pair boys say: we fell on the throw. The best pair boys say: we fell on the throw, but Jane's the one with the bruise. I'm going to get her some ice.) However, if the boy doesn't know how to throw, the girl's ability to do the jump or throw doesn't matter: not only does the girl still need to execute her complex part of the throw, but first she also needs to correct for the boy's mistakes. (Exception: Juvenile Pairs where the boy takes his hands entirely off the girl and then she does the "throw" Axel, and he beams. I dare you to avoid smiling when that happens.)
Lifts and twists are serious, serious safety issues. There are so many components to a twist. As I said, part of the complexity here is understanding how to react to mistakes without overreacting. Pair boy's #1 job: keep his partner's head from hitting the ice.
Nice post, 5Ali3!
According to this, the JSF is doing the tryout for Takahashi's new partner. A new team could be formed by the end of this month. Preferences are given to Japanese citizens.

The Japan Federation does special consideration for Narumi Takahashi
16th January 2013, JST
In 16th January, Japan Skating Federation opened the board of directors in Tokyo Metropolitan area and approved that Narumi Takahashi of Pair who canceled a combination with Marvin Tran (Canada), remains as the certified player of JSF. She is demoted temporarily from the special certified player of the best rank of JSF, but as soon as a new partner is decided, she will be returned to the said rank.
The search of the new partner for Takahashi is being proceeded with at present.
Hidehito Ito, the director of figure skating of JSF suggested that selection of the personnel is being narrowed down, saying that they are proceeding so as to be able to release in the end of January or the head of February. Takahashi and Tran won the third place in the Worlds last season but canceled the Pair in December last year.

JSF treats Narumi Takahashi of Pair with golden handcuffs
Jan. 16, 2013, JST
On the board of directors on the 16th January, Japan Skating Federation approved the special treatment which Narumi Takahashi of Pair, who canceled the combination with Marvin Tran (Canada), is temporarily demoted to the certified player from the special certified player as the best rank of JSF but is returned to the special certified player as soon as her new partner is found out.
According to Hidetoshi Ito the director of figure skating of JSF, it says that they are doing a tryout so as to be able to release the forming of the new pair in the end of this month, too, if it is early.
As for the selection of the personnel, they seem to give priority to the Japanese because it may be able to participate to the Sochi Olympics of next year.

Very curious to see who's going to try-out with her. Who will be conducting the try-outs? Japanese pair coaches?
For a pairs lady and a single man with no prior pairs experience, what elements can they try out with?
Off-ice and padded mats are your friends for these try-outs. Obviously, basic stroking, footwork, SBS jumps and spins are all fair game -and give you a good idea of how well matched your timing is.
Physical strength and basic skills (skating, spins, jumps) are what they should examine. Takahashi wouldn't be able to resume training until February. So they can't see the matching at this point.
Since JSF is not sending a pair to the world championships this year, does this mean they don't have anyone qualified for Sochi no matter what? Or can they have a pair qualified for the team competition only? I forgot...
also, I don't understand why a strong and rich federation like the JSF does not do more to develop pairs and dance? More medals is better, right? Their ladies and men programs are pretty solid - you should think they could try and convince some non Japanese pairs coaches to come to Japan? Dance too?
If North Korea and China can produce male pair skaters, I suppose Japan can too, but it's not as if there is a ready supply of them in the Japanese skating system.
I think ice time has also been mentioned as an issue.
A good rant is cathartic. Ranting is what keeps me sane. They always come from a different place. Take the prime minister, for example. Sometimes when I rant about him, I am angry; other times, I am just severely annoyed - it's an important distinction. - Rick Mercer
Even if they don't have a team qualified in London or Nebelhorn, they can assign a team to the team event. That's one of the provisions in the Sochi announcement. Whether there will be TES minimums or whether the assigned skaters will be subject to them is TBD, and if they are, based on current championship rules, chances are they will be required by a date close to the start of the Olympics.

I-4's Effect on Tourism: A Case Study of Cypress Gardens
Oct 4, 2010 | WMFE - I-4 was completed in 1965, connecting I-75 and I-95, and forever changing tourism for the region in between. For one thing, I-4 bypassed the world-famous Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven, the most popular attraction of the time. I-4 had a major impact on Cypress Gardens, suddenly transforming the park's location from "right off the main highway" to "way off the beaten path."
Before I-4 was a glimmer in an urban planner's eye, Cypress Gardens was one of the most popular theme parks in the country. The park gained national attention as a lush tropical setting for movies and other broadcasts.
Cypress Gardens opened in 1936, the brainchild of Polk County entrepreneur Dick Pope. His granddaughter, Julie Pope-Dantzler, still lives in Winter Haven, just a stone's throw from the park's site. She spent the 1960s and 70s growing up in the park. She says her favorite place was the iconic botanical garden at its heart.
"It had a real mysterious, like you were going into a totally different world kind of feel," Pope-Dantzler explains. "It was the dampness like a jungle, it was the smell, it was the paths – they weren't perfect. They were just rough, and it just always felt like you never knew what was going to happen."
As a teen, Pope-Dantzler worked as one of Cypress Gardens' famed "Southern Belles," posing for tourists' photos in an enormous pastel hoop skirt.
"I remember the first few nights after a long day at work," she says. "I worked on the weekends. I would get in bed at night and just see flashbulbs."
A big part of the park's success was its location. It was right off the main highway of the time, US 27. Florida Historian Lu Vickers has just written a new book about Cypress Gardens. It's titled Cypress Gardens, America's Tropical Wonderland: How Dick Pope Invented Florida.
"US-27 was the main way people got to Florida," says Vickers. "There were also studies done too around that time, determining that 80 percent of the tourists that came into the state came in their cars, and a lot of them went straight to Cypress Gardens. And then, what happened was…the interstate was built."
Originally, "Interstate 4" was supposed to bypass Winter Haven, with no exit onto US 27. Vickers says Cypress Gardens founder Dick Pope saw the writing on the wall.
"He kind of freaked out," she says. "In one article I read, he told the reporter that he printed up pamphlets saying, 'We only have two years to live.' If this interstate went through without an exchange, he felt like it would really kill the Gardens."
So, Pope lobbied for and won that exchange onto US 27 for easier access to the park. But Julie Pope-Dantzler says it wasn't much help.
"There had been this thinking that, 'Oh, this is going to be great,' she says. "And they began to notice that attendance was dropping."
Part of the problem was that Cypress Gardens was about a 30-minute drive from I-4. Suddenly, that was too far off the beaten path. The country's new interstates brought convenience to travel, and tourists began to favor a quick drive to one "destination" that had everything. A "destination" like the brand-new Walt Disney World theme park, built right off I-4.
"The magnitude of what was coming, I think it probably was a little bit like maybe New Orleans possibly not knowing that Katrina was going to be as big as it was," says Pope-Dantzler. "We didn't know."
Pope-Dantzler says her grandfather always promoted the other attractions in the area at the time, and so did her father, Dick Pope Jr., when he took over the park. The Popes thought Disney's crowds would also visit Cypress Gardens, but with Disney's on-site resorts and shops, tourists had little reason to leave. Her family tried to compete, but the interstate and the "destination vacation" had changed the game. The Popes had to sell the park in 1985.
After that, a struggling Cypress Gardens changed hands a half-dozen times until it closed for good in 2009.
But its story isn't over.
At the park's old front gates, a huge, yellow backhoe rumbles through the dust and the sound of a jackhammer punctures the air. Cypress Gardens is becoming the world's fifth Legoland theme park. Legoland Florida will be the largest of all five, boasting over fifty rides, shows, and attractions.
Legoland rep Jackie Wallace says the new park will succeed where the Gardens didn't because the brand-name Lego is known all over the world.
"When you say 'Lego,' people know what you're talking about," explains Wallace. "And when you say 'Legoland,' the enthusiasm is already there for us."
And Legoland is already thinking about ways to tackle the challenge of the park's remote location. For one thing, they'll be running shuttles from tourist-heavy areas in Orlando and Tampa.
Wallace says the new park will be keeping some Cypress Gardens traditions.
"We'll still have the botanical gardens which everyone knows and loves."
But, she adds, "We'll put a little tiny Lego twist to them."
Julie Pope-Dantzler is pleased at the prospects Legoland will bring to Polk County, but for her, the new park itself is bittersweet. "It can never be what it was, but maybe it can be something better for the next generation," she says.
But she's happy that, in a way, she can still share the experience that meant so much to her growing up. "What a great thing, that a whole new generation of high school kids can go down there and have the same kind of enthusiastic experience that they had 4 generations ago."
Legoland Florida is slated to open next fall. It's still about a 30-minute drive from the interstate.

Facebook 3.1 with Push Notifications for iPhone Now Available
Facebook for iPhone just received an update that contains one of the most sought after missing features, push notifications. It has been a long time coming as most of us hoped for this feature when Facebook 3.0 was released. The only other difference noted in 3.1 is very Android-like, the ability to sync your friends with your address book.
Now all we need is for Apple to step up to the plate with iPhone 4.0 and give us a better to handle our notifications. At least we can all dream right?
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
There are 89 comments. Add yours.
When you sync your contacts - does it automatically add all your facebook contacts to your iphone - or can you pick and choose?
now they can stop sending me so many emails, yes
Does anyone know how the sync works? I downloaded today and could not figure it out. I have MyPhone+ and that works ok but have problems with it being a true, sync rather than an overwrite. Also I wish the birthdays would be better integrated on the iphone.
Still not in the UK store
Just tried to do the new sync feature, failed the first time... trying it again now!
The progress bar doesn't seem to be doing it's job... it will go to 40% then drop down to 20%.... strange, heh.
what a letdown - the push notifcations are only alerts! they don't show message summary!
Wow, pretty effin' cool! It worked, and worked well.
Well done Facebook!
It's still glitchy. The name has to be a perfect match, and even then some if my contacts only got a picture and no page, or worse vica versa.
what the hell is a better push notificTion system????????
It is not showing ip for me, this is available for iTouches right?
one that dont kill your battery in under a day, anyone know what you get notifications for?
@antonio - Personally I prefer it that way, this way no one can creep your stuff! But maybe they will add an option in a future version to get a summary. I know Apple only lets you push a certain amount of data in a Push Message, my guess is Facebook didn't want to teeter to close to that limit.
I turned off the SMS summary also awhile back too. My friends like to creep from time to time haha :P
You navigate to friends and press the sync button in the upper right hand corner. It simply adds Facebook profile pictures and links to your contacts. It does not add any contacts or anything like that.
The sync works if your friends have their phone numbers on their Facebook account it also adds their profile pictures so when they call that's the picture that comes up.
I'm not seeing this as an update on my iPhone yet. I'm In NYC & facebook Still says 3.0.3 to download. Anyone else?
Oh seriously Mange, shhh.
You may have to click Updates a few times. It took me three clicks for it to show up.
The update IS there. Jesus...
Strange, it didn't show up as an update for me but I was able to search for facebook and there it was. 3.1. I just installed it and it worked fine.
I left the 'Replace existing photos in your Contacts' OFF... but it still replaced them. :x
@fastlane - I was really nervous that would happen to me too, but it left my contacts alone that already had pictures. Sucks for your bad luck :/
You can specify in settings what to have pushed and what not. Is anyone else not getting sounds from the alerts?
@Josh H.
I wrote them a nasty email.
Now, I've lost several photos that I added manually, only to now have photos of people's dogs, kids, and other horsesh!t in my Contacts.
Nice one Facebook! Get Joe back and get rid of that lousy hack you got working for you!
updated didnt show foe me, uninstalled and reinstalled and its done
done quite nice, if i look at the notification on facebook before the alert on the app will i still get the alert? does anyone elses seem abit slow coming though?
How to sync exactly?
@John fox, I am not getting sounds either.
same happened to me... >:[
I think I'm going to turn off the feature and restore the iPhone to the previous sync and hope to get those pictures back.
I had the same problem as fastlane.... I only did the sync because it had the option to leave the existing photos. Did the sync, and now I lost all the the ones that I took of people, a number of which were pretty memorable to me. Not happy with that at all. I wonder if there will be a way to undo short of restoring my phone....
uh... so it added some chinese kid in china's pic and fb link to my boss's profile... i wonder how many else are messed up like that? it's even funnier because it then added that pic and link to his contact info in outlook...
@Jhonny, @thad
Luckily, I just had photos from people's albums, so I can re-add them again... but it's still a lot of wasted time.
@johnfox im not getting sounds either. isnt it a server issue as appose to an app loaded sound??
oh.. and added some dudes pic for my google voice # to check my voice mails...
"Now all we need is for Apple to step up to the plate with iPhone 4.0 and give us a better way to handle our notifications. At least we can all dream right?"
I'll second that... can we say growl for iPhone?
I'm 14 years old and just started going to this site after I saved up to buy myself a iPhone 3G and I had facebook installed before this update and was kind if impressed and them this update came along and I tried syncing to my contacts. I don't have every last name entered into my contacts so only the ones that have their phone numbers on facebook or that I've got a last name entered on my phone, synced over. And the weirdest part: I have my grandparents entered into my phone as 'Gramma & Grandpa "Smith" ' (just an example last name) and when I was looking thru I thought oh well she has a facebook I wonder if it synced without her first name and I got a weird profile from a random person (name didn't change in contacts list) and it wasn't a common name so I'm unsure where they were from but their last name wasn't "Smith" and their first name was not 'Gramma & Grandpa' that's for sure. So now other peoples profiles are being synced that I'm not even friends with.
Scratch that- they are from the middle east of some where.
I noticed a few of my contacts, whom I didn't even know had Facebook accounts, now have a photo and a link. It must be because they used the same email address for Facebook as I had in their contact info.
That can be a good thing, and a bad thing. I don't want people with this app, who only have my email address, necessarily being told that I have a Facebook account. :shock:
Push notifications work beautifly with the grip jailbroken app.
Notifications don't vibrate or make a sound for me
no notification sounds on my end either
i'm having the same issues with notifications not making any sound. i'll try to reboot and see what happens.
Josh H, i use grip lockinfo to handle notifications. I don't get popups in the middle of the screen, they appear in a little bar on the top for a few seconds like on android phones. Then I can see a report of all push notifications received via a sbsettings shortcut or in lockinfo screen. That's why having message summary instead of only simple alert is usefull.
And Jeremy is totally right: a new notification system is a must for 4.0
Just noticed a second thing. Now that it has erased my pictures and replaced them with facebook ones (though it was set to not replace), they show up tiny in the corner as opposed to full sized. I can go through and click to edit each one and change that, but I'm just going to restore my phone and get my real pictures back instead, maybe I'll try to sync again and see if it honors the image choice this next time since it seemed to work for Josh H.
Finally! It was what I missed most when I switched from a blackberry it an iPhone. Once again all my contacts have pictures and I don have to check my facebook since I'll just know now.
I'm holding off on the contact sync. Facebook tells me it's sending my contact info to Facebook, not just vice versa--and it says to make sure your friends are okay with that. I have no idea what that means and don't want Facebook creating info for all my contacts??
no sound or vibrate with the push notifications???? whats the point???
I am new to iPhone...do I have to uninstall the old version before moving to this one?
Same thing as @fastlane and @Jhonny - replaced my contact photos even though the option was disabled. Bloody @#$^ now I gotta redo it all over again. Facebook 3.1 FAIL!
Funny i logged on to facebook on my laptop and it said You have successfully connected your Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones Application with Facebook. I have an iphone....?
Finally ... Shet. >:(
No sound for me either! Is it supposed to be like that or just a bug?
No sound here, either.
Looks like 3.1.1 will be coming out soon.... Lol
Same problem with no sounds for me. Looked under push settings and sounds for facebook is checked on. Must be a bug?
What exactly is pushed?
I know they have listed, comments, photo tags etc
but what exactly...?
ALL comments? like status, wall post comments, tagged status comments, photo comments?
ALL photo tags? tags of your own photos (even ones your not in), tags of only photos your in, someone tagging your photo?
Just so I know what email notifications to turn off, because if they will get pushed I'll end up getting loads of duplicates.
Also is there any way to have the sound/vibrate function and just a badge - I dont really want the blue box popping up every so often.
I'm also having the same issue as everyone - that is, no sound from the push feature. Hopefully they'll fix that soon? I have sound, badges, etc all on in the settings, but only get a popup blue box, no sound notification.
You can turn ON/OFF what you don't want pushed in the app's settings (unless that isn't working properly either).
Can you turn off the syncing its messing up putting fb profiles to my friends that dont have facebook and replacing their photos which sucks.
See who needs winey Joe what's his name working on this...
anyone has issue uploading pic with the new version?
Took a look inside the app using iFile, there's no sound for the alert...
3.1.1 is already out but Apple's crappy caching won't see it on check for update. Remove and reinstall to get it now.
Seems they fixed a serious bug in the contact sync. They haven't seemed to fix the push notification sound (not!).
Get boxcar as a free download, and link it with your FB, much nicer push notification!
Anyone else notice the disclaimer in the contacts sync that the contacts from your phone would be uploaded to facebook?
"If you enable this feature, contacts from your device will be sent to Facebook... Please make sure your friends are comfortable with any use you make of their information."
Ummm, I don't really think so. No contact syncing for me doc, FB doesn't need my address book.
I can't do mobile upload with Facebook App 3.1.1.
The Facebook App can't load pic from Camera Roll (and it displays a black screen instead) and the upload is always rejected!
The only thing showing in the what's new is bug fixes in contact syncing. I'm showing 3.1.1 and it doesn't say anything about push.
Facebook 3.1.1 with bug fixes and syncing is now available.
I want to know which notifications to disable via the web facebook, as in the actual full site. if you go to settings then click notifications, they have so many options in more detail, and I wanted to know which ones to un tick on there so I don't get notifications via the app AND notifications through my e-mails too.
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.
I guess lengthy experimentation with that is the only way to figure it out.
I synced and all my FB contacts got a new "homepage" URL in Address Book with the brand new (and unusable) protocol "fb://". WTF? Fail!
Do you have to be connected to WiFi on iPhone to get the push notifications or is just not working all that great today?
@ dex: I have the same problem. Very annoying
@Christian Løverås -I think that the fb:// protocol is for calling the FB app. Just like if you're exchanging http:// with pdf:// in a Safari link to a pdf file to make it open in e.g. Aji pdf reader.
@Leslie -I'm getting no push whatsoever, and no error messages either, so maybe it's off for the weekend? ;v)
this new update is absolutely the most buggy update yet...this is terrible, get your sh*t together facebook people.
i cant upload any pics from my camera roll or pics folder on my iphone 3g?? Whats up with that??
How can I undo, or turn off, this darn sync with my address book???? So many of them are wrong! Really wish I hadn't done it. I'm ok with manually deleting the ones I've done, but I don't want it to automatically do anything else.
Ok, So I synced all my contacts from Facebook to my iPhone.. but I was under the impression that once i did that, all of my friends who are on Facebook with their phone # published will automatically go to my phone? or is it just the people who are in your phone and on your friend list?
Hey wondering if anyone can help me! I have tried syncing all my facebook contacts to my iPhone but it is only finding like 3! I have changed everyones names to there facebook names in my phonebook still no joy!? Any ideas
Many thanks
@Amy I was looking for a solution to the same issue you had.. And I found it here:
Quoted: "Btw, if for some reason you decide to stop using this feature, you can undo the syncing process and remove all photos from your address book by going to Friends > Sync and then clicking on Remove Data."
Ever since this sync update/addition I can't upload pics~keep getting Alert message error can't upload at this time!! It's mad, I have tried reinstalling and no change. Help

Get email on your iPhone the way it was meant to be with Sparrow
Many of you have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Sparrow for iPhone, myself included, so I'm excited to report that it's here! Sparrow is a popular mail client for the Mac that focuses on providing the perfect email experience. That experience is now available on your iPhone.
Sparrow is particularly great for Gmail users because it handles labels extremely well. You are not restricted to Gmail, though. Sparrow offers full iMAP support including Gmail, Google Apps, iCloud, Yahoo, AOL, Mobile Me and custom IMAP accounts. It does not support POP or Exchange accounts.
Some of the favorite features of Sparrow include using Facebook to assign avatars to your friends, ability to add attachments while composing a message, a very well designed pane navigation layout, pull to refresh, alias support, and custom signatures for each email account.
Unfortunately, Sparrow does not support push. Not by choice, however; Apple made them remove it. At least for now.
I've been using Sparrow for Mac over Apple's Mail client for over a month now and have been extremely happy with it. I'm very excited about Sparrow on my iPhone and even though I've only spent a moment with it, I'm already impressed. Without push, however, it may be hard for me to make the switch from the native Mail app. We'll see.
2.99 - Download Now
Sparrow iPhone from domleca on Vimeo.
There are 32 comments. Add yours.
No push = no download for me at least.
Have to agree, without Push this is pointless.
No push + no POP + 2.99 = lame
I'm looking forward to an iPad version of this too!
At least someone is excited about it.
For those who want more details as to why push was removed, you can see Sparrow's explanation here.
In a nutshell, Sparrow initially used the same frameworks that VoIP applications (like Skype) use to respond to network events, and Apple said no. On their page, Sparrow has what appears to be a signup if you want to register your desire for such a feature; they imply that perhaps with enough signups they can persuade Apple to change their minds.
Like Apple is going to care people want it added? LOL, they scoff at thee.
They should have put it in cydia with the features people want and need in an email client. Glad I didn't jump on this before looking into reviews - saved me 3 bucks. Thanks iMore!
As a Sparrow for Mac user I'm excited to use Sparrow on iPhone now. While it is at first blush just a mail app, Sparrow users will enjoy the little UI niceties that set it apart from Apple's stock app. There is some room for improvement, but I'm already enjoying the gestures and different handling of threaded views. Similar to why Tweetbot is worth buying even though Twitter is free, Sparrow will find a good following. And Apple will probably "borrow" many of its innovations for iOS 6.
Downloaded before even reading the article. Personally, not concerned about push (I like to leave it off for email since I get too much email and it gets distracting).
I'll give it a try just out of curiosity but the absence of push is almost a dealbreaker for me. The other problem I have is that no 3rd party apps are ever going to be as well integrated into the OS as Apple's own native apps, which is why I usually stick with those.
Also I think there would be kind of an inconsistency when using different mail clients on the iPhone and the iPad, at least for me. So in the end I see more disadvantages than advantages in switching from Mail to Sparrow…
Exactly what I thought. The thing is: You can't really switch from Mail.app. Whenever you send an email from another application it will go out through Mail.app...
I'm using Boxcar to get around push for now.
exactly, probably the better solution anyway. I only have important mails sent to boxcar otherwise you'd get nothing done in the day; constantly checking your phone.
Wow didn't even realize that boxcar was still around.
No push no deal
Just for any MailShot Pro users out there playing with Sparrow...
You can't use MailShot group email as seamlessly from Sparrow as you can for most apps, but there is a workaround: If you save and retrieve your email from drafts just before you send, it will send email to the entire group.
I've been looking for a native app that supports gmail labels and archiving properly, but I'm stuck on iOS4 (having an old iPod touch) so can't use this app. Does anyone know of something I could use that isn't a crappy web app wrapper like Google's?
If it doesn't have Push or Exchange or POP, then it's the same as saying "I have a GPS app but it doesn't include maps or location awareness.. and it's $2.99.. but it looks pretty!"
No push makes it useless.
Tnk's for the article but i'm a happy user of Thunderbird (Win, Mac, IOS, Android, etc. etc) with IMAP, POP, News reader... Free... Open source ;-)
Sorry... no IOS
No Exchange or push of any kind why would I pay money for something that does less?
If you are a gmail user who uses labels and conversations, it is easily worth $3, because it handles them much, much better than Mail.app.
Sparrow for Mac may be as close to a perfect mail app that has ever been created. I like it so much I wish I had something like it when I'm away from my MacBook and using a Windows machine. I'm betting that Sparrow on the iPhone will be awesome, but the lack of push is a dealbreaker for something I'm going to spend money on. I know it's not their fault, but I like getting the notifications so I can decide if I really need to look at the email quickly or not. I do hope they can get this resolved in the future because the app itself looks super slick.
Doesn't support POP....forget it. No Push.....no deal. Hope Apple changes their mail app to be like this and Facebook.
Don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I went and got Sparrow for iOS, because of how awesome it is, and the fact I prefer native apps to the web anyday. But there are no notification settings for Sparrow at ALL in iOS…so I can't customize notifications, add it to notification center, nothing. I understand no push, and that's not a biggie…but will this app even fetch mail if it's not open? Kinda seems dumb to me if it won't do that, or at least set up polling and push notifications.
So it doesn't have push, but it does actually DELETE emails when you delete them in GMail rather that archiving like the native app. For someone who gets a lot of emails that don't need to be saved that is great.
To me what is so awesome about Sparrow is the mutiple signature ability. I do work and play on my iPhone. I need my work emails to say something more that "Sent from my iPhone" and I don't need to tick off my friends with my work signature like I'm trying to sell them.
Who cares about push, I can hold on a second, it isn't like there is a blinking LED to tell me I have mail like my Crackberry.
Sparrow might not be for you, but then that is why there are multiple apps out there that do similar things. It is right for me and enough other people it is in the #2 paid app right now. Says something there.
Love the ease of sparrow on both my iMac and iPhone.
On the phone - getting around the lack of push is no prob I didnt delete gmail so the notifications still work fine. Plus with lock on I have to access my mail directly anyway so I go to sparrow.
However as someone else mentioned there is no where to adjust settings - if sparrow is reading this - what's the dealy yo? I'd like to adjust my signature.

Athletes shall receive classification and points on the Senior national roster based on their finishes in various national and international events as indicated in the table given below.
Summary of the system
Beginning Feb. 3, 2010, all athletes ranked on the USA Judo Junior and Senior Elite National Rosters must be current USA Judo members. In order for an athlete to earn points on the roster, they MUST be a USA Judo member by the end of the event. If an athlete is not a member by the end of the event, the athlete will not be eligible for placement on the roster
Changes to Junior and Senior Elite National Roster Point Structure (Effective Sept. 25, 2008)
1. Both the Jose Ramon Rodriguez and Golden Judoguis Championships will be listed as USA Judo Senior C-Level Point Tournaments. Accordingly, juniors competing in these events will receive 15 points on the appropriate junior elite national rosters for a gold medal, nine for a silver, six for a bronze and three for a fifth place finish at either of these events.
2. The Jigoro Kano Cup will be listed as a USA Judo Senior A-Level Point Tournament. Accordingly, juniors competing in these events will receive 17.5 points on the appropriate junior elite national rosters for a gold medal, 10.5 for a silver, seven for a bronze and 3.5 for a fifth place finish at this event.
3. Athletes requesting to compete in an A-Level or higher event must be ranked on the USA Judo Senior Elite National Roster with at least a B Level or be the current USA Judo Senior National Champion. All rankings must be held in the division in which the athlete is seeking to compete. Athletes requesting to compete in A-Level or higher tournaments and who do not meet these criteria must have approval from the USA Judo High Performance Committee.
4. Athletes may have a total of no more than six D-Level or Tournaments Not Listed points with a D-Level value on the USA Judo Senior Elite National Roster at any single point in time. Should an athlete compete in the same division at additional D-Level events after he or she already HAS six D-Level points, new points earned will be added to the roster and the earliest D-Level points will be removed so that the total never exceeds six total D-Level points. If an athlete earns no more than six points during a 365-day period, all points will expire naturally per the USA Judo point classification guidelines.
5. The first criterion for breaking ties on the USA Judo Senior Elite National roster shall be as follows:
The athlete with the most C-Level or higher international points as reflected from the current USA Judo Ranking roster.
6. Both Points and Classification earned at a particular event are current for a maximum of one year, or on anniversary date of that event (if a regularly scheduled annual event) if its anniversary occurs in less than a year.
If any of the following regularly scheduled annual events are held within 30 days of the anniversary date, the points and classification earned from that event will remain on the roster until the following year's event:
