DAVIDSON, N.C. – Karting enthusiasts from across the country now have a centralized online marketplace to buy or sell their equipment with the launch of KARTSALE (www.kartsale.com).
Created by motorsports focused web development company RACERSITES, the new website aims to break through the clutter of the one-size-fits-all classified sites and create a space dedicated specifically to the karting community.
"The goal in creating this site is to give the karting industry a convenient, economical, and effective way to find or sell equipment for their karting programs," said Chuck Tate, Owner and CEO of RACERSITES, who launched the new platform today. "As a kart racer myself, this is a service that I believe is long overdue. KARTSALE cuts through the noise of the typical 'catch-all' classified sites and focuses on connecting karters with other karters."
The new website aims to be the most trusted online marketplace where kart racers can connect with each other to buy and sell everything from safety gear and small parts, to chassis, engines, trailers and everything in between. The site is free to use for all visitors, with listings – that are also free to post – consisting of a text description and photos. Once connected through the site, buyers and sellers will manage the transaction offline, directly with each other.
Tate added, "In the end, we want to make it easier for karters to buy and sell their used parts. Not only does this allow us to economically make changes to our own programs, the hope is that we raise awareness about the used equipment that is available, and lower the financial hurdle for new people that may want to enter the sport. Wherever you are, you can connect with like-minded karters, sell your unwanted parts and look for parts that you may need through the online marketplace at KARTSALE.com."

Italy Arrests Major Mafia Boss Who Was Hiding In Underground Bunker
Originally published on Wed December 7, 2011 3:14 pm
Italian police had to drill into a concrete bunker underground to get to Michele Zagaria. As NPR's Sylvia Poggioli tells our Newscast unit, the arrest of the mob boss is "huge."
Sylvia adds that Michele Zagaria "is the head of one of the bloodiest clans of the Neapolitan mafia called the Camorra and they've been involved in an enormous number of illegal activity. Probably the most prominent is the illegal transport and disposal of toxic waste, which has become a huge problem in the whole Naples area."
Reuters has a bit more on the story:
"The 53-year-old, sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment for murder in 2008, was captured in his home town of Casapesenna, police said.
"Zagaria's bunker was about 50 square meters (540 sq feet) in size and hidden behind a 5-metre (16 feet) thick wall of reinforced concrete that opened and closed electronically.
"Police cut off electricity and air to the bunker, and then drilled through the wall, according to police sources. The bunker was decorated with crucifixes and sacred images, and it was clear that he had lived there for years, they said."
The BBC reports that there was "jubilation" among the authorities who made the arrest and that Zagaria admitted defeat.
"You won. The state has won," the BBC reports Zagaria told authorities.
Sylvia adds that the arrest comes a day after a police arrested 50 others in relation to mob activity.

Claudia your birds are a neat story to. go along with a neat painting
C and C always welcomed
Joyce you have done well with your pencil sketch. His back looks a little high to me but maybe not.
Sarah your little cabin looks cozy. It reminds me of our cabin at the club but it needs some smoke coming from the chimney to make it look lived in.
Catherin your angle is very well done and the color scheme goes well with it but the colors are kind of somber.
Your pheasant looks real Marsha. You have all the beautiful colors down pat.
Bonnie a neat story about your friend. Too bad he got too close to the road. At least he wasn't somebodies dinner..
Happy New Year to fellow artists!
I have just been looking through all the contributions to this month's challenge - beautiful work. I have been busy doing other things, so there hasn't been much time for painting/drawing, but I decided that I needed to have a go at the beautiful little squirrel. Woodless graphite pencils, 18cm x 25cm. Sonia.
Comments & critique will always be welcome & appreciated!
Sonia: what a beautiful little graphite drawing of a cute sassy little squirrel good job Sarah thank you so much for the kind compliments I'm glad your finger is getting better and yes I don't know why in the world I was tempted to eat those shrimp
Geri: thank you for the nice compliment about my pheasant. and everything else
Bonnie: What a delightful story about the ringneck pheasant now I look at him and I see a bit of a character that had great personality and had friends while he was here on this earth I'm sorry to hear about his loss. I am so glad you liked my painting of him..
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over
C & C Always Welcome
Hello Geri,
I didn't add smoke because.....
I thought it was a restaurant/cafe/diner so also thought it would surely have central heating!
Easy to add it if necessary..
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Hello Sonia,
agree with others about the graphite squirrel........maybe a suggestion of the lower backround would enhance it even more.
Ok Geri....My last angel didn't make you happy so even though it was aprox. 4:30 am. and there is an actual temp of -8 degrees with a wind chill of -22 and even though I should be thinking about going to work and all that stuff, I did a happier angel just for you ;) Sanguine with black charcoal on a 22x17 inch multimedia paper. I used a reference drawing for the movement and edited it a bit to make it my own. There is some tweaking with a gum eraser but it is what it is.
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
Sonia, Happy New Year to you. Lovely graphite sketch of the squirrel. He has great eyes and proportions. And his fur looks soft. You have certainly captured his likeness. Great work with the graphite.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Well, seems I wont' be going to work today. I ride with my daughter and she has a Jeep with a big battery and she called to say her Jeep battery won't even turn over so that means my little dinky Honda battery isn't going to hold up either. Guess I will use the day to work on some figure drawing skills and learn about contour lines etc. it seems easy enough until you learn/see what you need to know to make a figure look the way you want it to. and then you have to do the work lol.
Marsha....Your pheasant is really nicely done and you've managed to include all the details really well.
Sonia...Your squirrel is also really well done and I especially like that little smile on his/her face. My squirrels smile like that too after they have raided my bird feeder. lol
Catherine, Geri should be happy with your angel with the added colour and motion. I liked the somberness of the original angel. She seemed so quiet as if she was deep in thought about something. A bit of a mystery.
Geri, thank you for your nice comment.
Marsha,, I love your colorful pheasant., very nicely done.Thank you for taking the time to comment on all my postings. I know, I did a bit more this month.
Catherine, I like your happy angle version. But nothing can top the original. It is my favorite.
Sonia, nice soft pencil drawing of the squirrel and thank you for the inspiration. I had to take a pencil and try it too.
C&C always welcome
Thank you Bonnie and Claudia for your comments on my dancer-angel-statue. Geri was worried a while back that I might be a little too down in the dumps and while I was feeling a little bluer than the usual kind that winter brings on, I've worked through some of the family issues that I imagine get us all down on occasion. I just wanted to let him know I'm ok and not painting angels of doom because I'm in a bad place or something. I just like the colors and the quietness of that angel and how it distracted the viewer from the winter snows and cold. Charcoal and sanguine work is going to take some practice and study of the techniques but I do like that soft reddish color with the black and white areas. I'll learn more about that over this next year.
Claudia...I really like your squirrel a lot! It's fur is very well done and it looks just like it is sitting out on a limb during a snow storm. It even has it's little paw curled up the way squirrels do sometimes.

This is Carly from Bus 547. I can't believe that we have less than two days left in Israel--the trip has flown by. We have learned so much and made so many memories in the short time we have been here. I know I will remember this experience for the rest of my life.
Shalom from Israel! This is Sean, one of the staff with Bus 547. This trip so far has been incredible!
I've been to Israel over a dozen times, but this group that I'm traveling with is among the best I've known. Every day has been filled with new challenges - opening new perspectives of Jewish identity, Israel appreciation, history, and Israeli-Diaspora dialogue. There have been many nights whose conversations have often been as long as the long days' touring.
So, everyone's getting a little bummed here on bus 547. We have one more full day together and we've got to make the most of it. Today we're going to a convention, then climb in some caves, and then the night will end with a concert with a local Israeli band.
Shalom from Jerusalem!
These past few days have been an absolute whirlwind. It's getting hard to distinguish what has happened on which day, and they have all started blending together.
Coming into Shabbat in Jerusalem, a lot of people were not sure what to expect. I know that I was a little weary of being in a highly religious place, when I myself am torn about the distinction between being culturally Jewish and religious.
I think that we were just excited not to climb a mountain on Thursday. :) Instead we walked around Tel Aviv. The first place we went was Rabin square, obviously named after the assassinated Prime Minister. We learned a lot about his life, and his political career. Then we broke into groups and did a kind of "man on the street" thing. We were tasked with finding a local Israeli to ask questions about the day Rabin was assassinated, and where they were. We also asked them how they felt it had effected the country.
It's 8 p.m. and I'm sitting on my cool porch next to room #7, Kibutz Parod. I had a long day, and when Sean asked me to write in the blog, it was pretty hard to remember the morning :)
Shalom from the Golan Heights! Last night was our second evening at the Kibbutz Farod in the Golan Heights. After a quick dinner and a MUCH needed shower (following a long but incredible day exploring and hiking along a stream in the Golan, looking out over the Jordan Valley, and visiting the Hula Nature Reserve), we met for our nightly group activity. This time around, after a few fun ice breaker activities (including, but not limited to a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament), Ori split us into several small groups and distributed envelopes to each group.
This trip is a gift from Birthright Israel.

I know you've probably already read a few articles about the deceptively named drugs called "bath salts" and their effects (or alleged effects, i.e. zombie cannibalism) so in this one we're going to get right to the point. Bath salts are dangerous for chiefly two reasons, and neither have anything to do with addiction or hallucinations.
The first reason is dosage, and the second is sleep deprivation.
Before addressing each of those in more detail, let's quickly go over what bath salts are and are not, and how they affect the brain.
First, the name "bath salts" doesn't refer to any single drug, but rather a group of substances with similar chemical properties. Most varieties contain either mephedrone or methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). Both drugs are related to khat, an organic stimulant found in the Middle East and East African countries. Khat is illegal in the US because it contains cathinone, a Schedule 1 controlled substance according to the DEA.
Neither of these drugs are new; mephedrone has been bouncing around laboratories since the 1920s, MDPV since the late 1960s. Recreational use of the drugs is relatively new, dating back just a decade or so. Mephedrone is a stimulant and MDPV is both a stimulant and psychoactive drug. The qualifier "psychoactive" means that the drug crosses the blood-brain barrier and causes changes in neurochemical function, resulting in amplifying effects on mood, thought, perception and behavior.
Neither of these drugs are hallucinogens like LSD. Hallucinogens are psychoactive drugs, but not all psychoactive drugs are hallucinogens — the primary difference being that hallucinogens induce changes in perception that are significantly different than normal consciousness, not merely an amplification of conscious states we already experience.
So, for example, someone who takes MDPV may find himself feeling extremely paranoid and panicky, but he's unlikely to believe that a giant lizard wearing a tuxedo is about to eat his cat.
(It bears noting, however, that since some varieties of bath salts are chemical grab bags containing any number of drugs, it's certainly possible that hallucinogens are occasionally in the mix.)
The comparison between bath salts and ecstasy (MDMA) is based on the results of a study on rats showing that MDMA and mephedrone have similar effects on the neurotransmitters dopamine and seratonin. The study also suggests that the long-term effects of mephedrone are less harmful than ecstasy, because the drug doesn't seem to deplete serotonin as severely as the favorite drug of rave goers worldwide. But, and this is a big but, these are the results of one study on rats, and the researchers were careful to point out that much more research needs to be done before we can draw any conclusions about long-term effects.
Are bath salts addictive? Yes, they probably are, and for roughly the same reason that ecstasy is addictive — they cause the brain to limit reuptake of dopamine, which means more of the neurochemical is available in the brain and the brain really likes that. Over time the effect diminishes and more of the drug is required to keep the ball rolling.
Are bath salts addictive the way cocaine is addictive? No, probably not. The reason is that cocaine is an exceptionally addictive substance that appears to hook the brain in more than one way. While it produces the dopamine effect described above, it also has the potential of profoundly altering the body's circadian rhythms in such a way that not having the drug is physically devastating. In addition, cocaine's dopamine effect is much more intense than that of bath salts, or ecstasy for that matter. You could say that the bath salt effect is like stepping into a shower. The cocaine effect is more like stepping under a waterfall.
So if bath salts are potentially addictive, albeit not as addictive as cocaine, why am I saying that addiction is not the main problem?

11 Style Stars to Watch in 2011
11 Style Stars to Watch in 2011
As the year gets under way, a whole new gaggle of style stars are poised to take center stage (and by center stage, we mean become our new source of outfit inspiration in 2011). What follows are the 11 lovely, chic and talented ladies you won't be able to help but notice: Their standout performances, incredible talent and fantastic personal style demand it!SEE MORE
Mamie Gummer: The MinimalistMamie Gummer didn't just inherit mom Meryl Streep's good looks; she inherited her mother's acting bug as well. Grey's Anatomy fans can catch her in the new Shonda Rhimes series Off the Map, New Yorkers can spot her in Broadway's Arcadia, and the rest of us fashion fiends can find her on the red carpet, looking poised in simple sheaths and bold hues.
Willow Smith: The Hair Whipper, Wardrobe SlayerWillow Smith has a more defined sense of style than most girls twice (or thrice!) her age—if only we all had our fashion confidence kick in during middle school! It'll be refreshing to see her spin on the title role of Annie, but we can't wait for the day when she rolls up to New York Fashion Week and wows the crowds with her inimitable style.
Jennifer Lawrence: The All-American GirlThe Winter's Bone breakout star has an impressive four films out in 2011, and X-Men fans can look forward to her playing Mystique in 2012. But while her roles are diverse, Jennifer Lawrence knows what she likes when it comes to clothes: gorgeous reds, body-hugging (but not scandalous) cuts and all-American designs.
Harley Viera Newton: The Über-Stylish DJWhile she may not be as well known as 2011's other style stars, she's no less influential. A stylish fixture on the downtown fashion scene, Harley Viera Newton was recently signed on to be house DJ for Dior Beauty. Consider her status cemented—and our new dream job description totally rewritten.
Hailee Steinfeld: The Littlest Fashionista14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld's style star is rising this year—not only does she know how to rock an age-appropriate red carpet dress (did you see the Marchesa gown she wore to the Oscars? Swoony McSwoonerson!), but she's also already been given the stamp of approval from fashion powerhouse Miuccia Prada. Our crystal ball tells us that we'll be seeing lots more of this budding starlet.
Elle Fanning: The Fashion Designers' FavoriteDakota Fanning's striking younger sister, Elle Fanning, impressed the fashion set with her Somewhere debut—the Rodarte sisters quickly took note, tapped her as their new muse and even had her star in one of their inspirational films! That's the fashion equivalent of winning the Super Bowl and jetting to Disney World to celebrate. We'd be jealous if she weren't so darn cute.
Olivia Palermo: The Party Hopper Turned DesignerThe epitome of the PYT, Olivia Palermo is truly a New York tastemaker—and rivals Kate Moss in the style blog arena for supernova status. (Just do a Google image search and you'll see.) We all love her style, but we'll soon be able to do more than just imitate it: rumor has it she is slated to launch her own fashion line (and perhaps star in a new reality show) later this year.
Amber Riley: The Gorgeous GleekAmber Riley's character Mercedes has one of our fave singing voices, and she just oozes charm and sass—always an alluring combo—whether on the show or on the red carpet. Raise your hand if you'd kill for her curves, charisma and talent—that's what we thought.
Lara Stone: The Hot Model of the MomentIf appearing on Carine Roitfeld's second-to-last French Vogue cover doesn't convince you of Lara Stone's style authority, Calvin Klein has chosen the real beauty (she's got a gap-toothed smile, serious curves and a killer smile!) to star in its spring campaign.
Kelly Osbourne: The New Material GirlThere's no question we'll fawn over the new face of Material Girl. Madonna chose the sartorially gifted Kelly Osbourne for good reason: She's got a distinctive look and a sexy silhouette and is endearingly outspoken. What's not to love?
Clemence Poesy and Emma Watson: The Harry Potter HeartbreakersThese two Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 stars tied for placement on our 2011 tastemakers list. Clemence Poesy has the classic French-girl look down pat (sexy bedhead hair, impeccably effortless style), while Emma Watson wears the threads we wish we could, from her tough-chic Burberry coats to her frilly Chanel dresses. No doubt we'll be seeing a lot of these two on best-dressed lists once the final film debuts.

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides cash assistance to low-income families with children while they strive to become self-sufficient. The program's goal is to reduce the number of families living in poverty, through employment and community resources. To qualify for TANF, families must have very few assets and little or no income. The current maximum monthly benefit for a family of three is $506.
You can apply for TANF by visiting your local DHS Self-Sufficiency office. You can download an application and instructions below. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view these PDF files. You can download the free software at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
These application forms should be printed and filled out by hand and then brought or sent to a local DHS Self-sufficiency office.
English (PDF, 169 KB) Spanish (PDF, 1.46 MB)
Russian (PDF, 335 KB) Vietnamese (PDF, 270 KB)
The intent of the Pre-TANF program is to:
A family may remain in the Pre-TANF program for as little as one day or up to 45-days, depending on the family's situation. During this time, DHS may be able to help with transportation or childcare related to the job search. DHS may also help pay for personal incidental items such as uniforms, hygiene items, work boots, diapers, etc.
The goal of the Post-TANF program is to provide parents who become ineligible for TANF due to income, a monthly grant of $50 for up to one year. Post-TANF clients must stay employed and work a minimum number of hours per week. This grant will help families with transitional expenses of employment. There is an income cap of 250% of the federal poverty level. This program is currently suspended.
Some other services that may assist families are:
The TANF program is administered by the Children, Adults and Families (CAF) Division of the Department of Human Services (DHS). All services are provided through local DHS offices.
In addition, the Department of Human Services (DHS) works with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to help clients obtain child support from absent parents. For help getting child support payments, contact Department of Justice.

A Georgetown man wanted for an armed robbery that occurred in early February is now in custody. Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson says 39-year-old Jimmy Cagle, whose last known address was 229 Tailwater Trail in Georgetown, was arrested Monday morning. He was wanted for Armed Robbery and Kidnapping for an incident which occurred on February 6. At approximately 2:30 a.m. that day Cagle held a knife to a man's throat and took his wallet. While continuing to hold a knife to the victim's throat, Cagle demanded he drive him around Georgetown to various locations. Cagle fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash before deputies arrived. The victim was not injured during the incident. A citizen's tip led deputies to the residence on Dove Street in the Sampit Community where Cagle was located Monday. Cagle was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Georgetown County Detention Center, Cuthbertson said. Cagle also has three active Assault & Battery Third Degree warrants with the sheriff's office on unrelated cases, she said.

Whether looking for a cool drink, a quick snack, or a full meal on the run, the chances are that festival goers will find something to tempt their tastebuds during the Flowertown Festival.
People will have ample opportunity to sample top cuisine from some of the area's most popular restaurants during the Flowertown Festival's popular food event, "The Taste," sponsored by Logan's Roadhouse.
During the event, festival-goers can stroll booth to booth sampling a wide variety of items from some of Flowertown's finest eateries.
"We'll be unveiling some new creations," noted Keith Chinn of Our Daily Bread Market. "In addition to our shrimp and grits spring roll, we'll have a crab cake spring roll and a chicken parmegan spring roll."
And what better way to follow those than with a cheesecake or apple pie spring roll, he added.
Two new vendors join the festival this year -- Madra Rua, an Irish pub and eatery and Ruby Tuesday's, a popular national bistro chain.
"I was a little surprised that we had never done the festival before," Ruby Tuesday's Manager Anna Lovelace said. "We are excited to be involved this year – it's a great event and a great chance for us to get even more engaged with the community."
All proceeds from food ticket sales go to the YMCA. However, Ruby Tuesday's is also doing a give back program at the restaurant that weekend as well; the restaurant will direct twenty percent of food sales back to the YMCA, she said.
The taste is open in the middle of the festival from 9 a.m.-5p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $1 each and are redeemable at all restaurant booths. All food items are $1 to $3. Two kiosks will be selling tickets for this area.
Here is a list of the participating restaurants and the items they will serve:
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. – Shrimp and grits, fried shrimp, seafood hushpies
Little Jimmy's Italian Ice – Italian ice, tea, lemonade
McAlister's Deli – Tea and cookies
Logan's Roadhouse Baby back ribs, steak tips with rice, salad
Our Daily Bread Market – Shrimp and grits, crab cake and chicken parmegan spring rolls, cheesecake and apple pie springrolls.
Zeus Grill and Seafood – Chicken and beef gyros, elephant ears, Greek potatoes, seasoned fries, baklava
Sticky Fingers Smokehouse – Ribs, wings, pulled prok barbecue, fries, slaw, baked beans, sweet tea and lemonade.
Panera Bread – Sandwiches, salads, cookies, patries, lemonade.
Papa John's Pizza – Pizza, cheesestix, cinnapple
Ruby Tuesday – Bacon wrapped shrimp and rice, hand crafted strawberry lemonade, chicken tacos, spring rolls, blondie for two, crab cakes.
Yokoso of Summerville – Crab wonton
Gilligan's – Fried or boom shrimp, fish taco
Wasabi Bacon – Fried rice, teriyaki chicken
Madra Rua – Corn beef slider with spicy mustard, Irish beer cheese soup made with Smithwick's, shepherd's pie.

How to setup Google Gmail on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
As of January 30, 2013, Google will no longer allow new iPhones, iPod touches, iPads, or other devices to be setup using Google Sync (their implementation of Microsoft's excellent ActiveSync protocol). While existing Google Sync setups will keep working, the next time you want to add Gmail to a device, you'll have to use something else -- namely Google's eccentric IMAP service, which works with Apple's Mail app and allows for a unifed inbox with other, non-Gmail accounts, and the Gmail app, which is excellent but is a silo unto itself.
- How to set up Gmail in Google's Gmail app
- How to setup Gmail in Apple's Mail app
- How to setup Gmail Contact Sync with CardDAV
- How to set up Gmail's 2-step verification with Mail on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac
How to set up Gmail in Google's Gmail app
Google's Gmail app is outstanding, supporting both push email, multiple accounts, and all the unique Gmail features like stars and labels, of course. You even get easy access to vacation responders and other options. If you only use Gmail for your email, it's absolutely the best way to go. If you use multiple email providers, but don't mind accessing them via separate apps, it's also a great choice. Sadly, you can't set third party apps as default in iOS, so you'll probably need to set up your account in Apple's iOS Mail app as well, for convenience sake. (See below.)
- Download the Gmail app from the App Store.
- Tap Open once Gmail finishes downloading, or if you've left the App Store, tap the Gmail icon on your Home screen.
- Enter your Gmail or Google Apps email address and password.
- Tap sign in.
How to setup Gmail in Apple's Mail app
Gmail is one of the main email setup options in Apple's built-in iOS Mail app. It uses IMAP to receive email, but due to Google's non-standard configuration, and Apple's lack of specific support for that non-standard configuration, you won't get push email, and you won't have access to stars, labels, and other Gmail-specific conventions. Sadly, it also doesn't automagically include contact sync, so you'll have to set that up separately.
You will, however, have your Gmail included in the unified inbox, which is incredibly convenient if you also have other, non-Google email accounts (like iCloud, Exchange, Hotmail, etc.)
- Launch Settings from your Home screen.
- Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap Add Account...
- Tap Gmail.
- Enter your name, Gmail email address, password, and a descriptive name (like Gmail, or Personal, so you can identify it later).
- Select which services you want to leave on for sync, Mail, Calendars, and Notes. (You probably want all of them on.)
- Tap Save.
How to setup Gmail Contact Sync with CardDAV
To set up contacts sync, repeat the same procedure, with a slight change in settings.
- Tap Add Account... again.
- Tap Other at the bottom.
- Tap Add CardDAV Account
- Enter google.com as the server.
- Enter your Gmail/Google address as the user name.
- Enter your Gmail/Google password as the password.
- Enter a description. For example, Gmail Contacts or Google Contacts.
- Tap Next at the top right.
That's it, your contacts will now sync along with everything else.
How to set up Gmail's 2-step verification
If you're a high value target and worried about your Gmail security, you can also setup and use Gmail 2-step verification on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. For most people, it's probably more trouble than it's worth, but it's there for those who really need it.

Trying to sync my gmail contacts with my new mini. I used the CardDav as instructed and some of them synced but not all of them. Any ideas?
I agree with LuisPR, the best option is as an exchange account. You get full push through apples native mail app. The article should mention this
I'm not sure these are great alternatives. I'll probably be switching fully to outlook.com email. Or forwarding my gmail to outlook. For calendars and contracts, outlook.com might work better for me anyways.
Currently I'm using gmail (as exchange) and icloud calendar and contacts. But icloud's problems with Outlook (included with MS office) is driving me nuts. I like google's search though so I'd continue to use gmail in some form whether it's just a backup.
I'm forwarding my personal Gmail to iCloud, and it works great. My work Gmail is staying as Gmail, I just have it in both Mail and the Gmail app for different use cases. Sucks. I loved Google Sync.
Thats a great idea. My only worries would be iCloud's spam filtering and can you reply as your gmail address?
The Gmail app looks nice, and handles labels properly, but I can't stand the way it forces you to manually download the entire message every time. That's a deal breaker for me.
You saoule mention Thatcher if one setup mail.app gmail usine IMAP manually (internet mail profile) and not the gmail profile, then flags will work and sync as stars. My step is to use the mail app that way, plus carddav and carddav. This gives me offline reading and other little advantages of the mail app. I use the gmail app to get push notification and manage labels. I find this combination optimal.
Using the gmail app for iPad, is there a way to view messages in full screen, rather than just 2/3 of it? Or increase the font size? I'm not that old, but text in some email messages in the app is too small.
Greetings and thank you for all those tips on every possible sector!
I have 4 e-mails (2 Gmail and 2 Hotmail) which I have configured through Settings and can check from Apple's iOS Mail app. I downloaded the GmailApp which is simply awesome and I wish to check my 2 accounts from there instead of Apple's app.
Is it possible to check the gmail e-mails from there and the hotmails from the apple app, but without having to check my gmails twice?
This process requires SSL. When using my iPad on my secure home network it will not connect via SSL. Is there some change in settings required?

Investigators with the Aiken Department of Public Safety are working to solve an equation.
Rather than writing with chalk on a blackboard, though, they're writing with spray paint on a roadway to piece together the deadly formula that has far-reaching consequences for the people involved.
On Tuesday, the accident reconstruction team returned to the scene of a deadly incident on York Street, where two pedestrians were struck by an SUV while walking down the sidewalk on Saturday.
Lukisha Nicole Thomas, 29, of Aiken, was walking with a man, Ray Charles Wooden Jr., when they were struck while walking south on the sidewalk on the 800 block of York Street about 2 p.m. on Saturday, police have said.
The 2006 Jeep, driven by Aiken attorney Thomas G. Woodruff Jr., left the roadway and struck Thomas and Wooden, investigators have said. Thomas and Wooden were taken to Georgia Regents Medical Center, where Thomas later died in surgery. Wooden was last reported in stable condition on Sunday.
Thomas' 2-year-old son was with her when the accident happened. He was examined at Aiken Regional Medical Centers and released.
After the accident on Saturday, investigators with Aiken Public Safety's accident reconstruction team were on the scene gathering and making note of evidence. They returned to the scene on Tuesday morning.
The team was gathering data at the scene to put together a scale drawing of the accident scene.
"We have surveying equipment out here," said Sgt. Chris Hammell. "We'll be recording, just like someone surveying a piece of land. We'll be collecting the data to be able to draw the road and the exact location of these evidence points where you see the orange paint on the ground."
Lines and circles drawn around the scene in orange spray paint were put down by investigators on Saturday to make note of evidence, such as skid marks where the vehicle reportedly left the roadway, and where the victims were standing when they were struck.
Hammell said it's normal for the team to go to a site a second time.
"Evidence can get washed away and destroyed with time. Skid marks start fading the second they're made," he said.
The objective of the first day on an accident scene is to preserve that evidence, he said.
"We come out to the scene and do things such as taking pictures of everything as it was that day, putting marks and paint on the ground to preserve where it was that day, so we can come back on another day and do our actual investigation," he said.
Once the data has been obtained, it's time to put it together.
"They'll use that data to make a scale drawing, which we can use in equations and calculations in trying to determine things such as cause, energy and speed involved in the collision," Hammell said. "We use calculus, algebra, physics – all that stuff you thought you'd never use again. Whoever thought a police officer would use that stuff?"
The team responds to any traffic fatality, and accidents with serious injury, according to Hammell, who added that the team responds to a "handful" of incidents per year.
"We also respond to any collisions with an undetermined cause," he said. "A general patrol officer who has just basic police investigation skills may not be able to determine what happened. We bring out a team who has advanced collision investigation training to help determine the cause."
Officers on the accident reconstruction team must go through special training at the state S.C. Criminal Justice Academy, which offers three levels of collision reconstruction, Hammell said. Each class is 80 hours and lasts two weeks.
"Our team members have all been through those three classes, so that's 240 hours worth of training there," he said.
From there, officers can go into specialty training.
"They take classes specifically in things such as investigating collisions with motorcycles – a different vehicle with different dynamics and physics to it," Hammell said. Other classes focus on collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists.
The team's report from Saturday's deadly accident could take two or three weeks to compile, at which point it will be taken to the Solicitor's Office to discuss what charges, if any, will be appropriate.

Kamala : Animals & Pets
In Phuket animals and pets play an important part in many people's lives and looking after them can be both important and costly if not carried out regularly.
Phuket offers a wide variety of services that cater to the pet owner including a number of very good quality veterinary clinics, grooming centers and kennels / catteries for those ex-pats who have to travel abroad but are unable to take their pet with them.
There are a number of shops that cater for pet needs including specialist foods and accessories.
Being a tropical island Phuket also offers the opportunity to own more exotic pets than may be found in other countries including snakes. Some animals offered as pets may not be suitable when larger or require a lot of attention so be sure to find out all you can about the species before buying one.

The Graduation Success Rate for University of South Carolina football players cited in a report this week was in error.
The report, a study of the GSR numbers for the 70 schools bound for bowl games this season, said Gamecocks football players had a GSR of 39 percent.
The actual number is 55 percent, as stated Wednesday in a corrected version of the report, compiled by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida.
The confusion stemmed from incorrect information provided to the NCAA by USC in 2011. South Carolina officials said then that 11 football players who had graduated were not included in its report to the NCAA.
The corrected information resulted in improvements for USC in GSR numbers for African-American football players (from 32 percent to 45 percent); white football players (from 52 to 80 percent); and for overall student-athletes (73 to 78 percent).
Average GSRs for the 70 bowl teams are 69 percent for football players, 62 percent for African-American players, 82 percent for white players and 80 percent for all student-athletes.
The Central Florida report also included incorrect information for other teams that was corrected in the later version.
We will be re-releasing the study (Wednesday) and reporting on our errors, Deidre Snively, spokesperson for the reports authors, wrote in an e-mail. While this will not make up for the initial wrong-doing on our part, we hope it will provide some reparation.
The study of GSR rates for bowl teams was based on a four-class average for freshmen who enrolled from 2002-2006.

Former NJCAA stars garner national spotlight in NBA PlayoffsJune 25, 2013
Two former NJCAA student-athletes were crowned World Champions with the Miami Heat last week. Heat centers Chris Anderson and Joel Anthony were two of seven players in the 2013 NBA Playoffs that began their road to stardom in the NJCAA.
Averaging 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game during the playoffs, Chris "Birdman" Anderson (right) was a spark plug for the Heat down the stretch. The Heat's Game 7 win over the San Antonio Spurs gave the former Blinn (Texas) forward his first ring in his 13th NBA season. In 1997-98, Anderson averaged 10.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and led the NJCAA with 4.7 blocks per game in his only season with the Buccaneers.
Joining Anderson in the Heat's victory was Joel Anthony out of Pensacola State (Fla.). Despite receiving limited playing time in the playoffs, Anthony posted six points, 21 rebounds and four blocks en route to his second NBA title – Anthony won his first championship with the Heat in 2011-12. Although the Montreal-native came to Pensacola State as a raw prospect, Anthony's work ethic and dedication landed him an NCAA scholarship at UNLV where he was named Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2006-07.
Enjoying his coming-out party in the 2013 NBA Playoffs was Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler (left) from Tyler JC (Texas). Playing all 48 minutes in the Bulls' final seven games, Butler averaged 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in the playoffs. The former Apache drew national recognition against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Semifinals by stifling LeBron James on the defensive end of the floor. Following one season at Tyler, Butler moved on to Marquette where he earned All-Big East Honorable Mention honors in 2009-10.
One of the biggest surprises of the 2013 NBA Playoffs was the performance of the Golden State Warriors. Former Vincennes (Ind.) forward Carl Landry recorded 11.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Warriors during their run. Landry played two seasons with Vincennes, earning first team All-America honors in 2003-04 after averaging 19.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game for the Trailblazers. In the NCAA, Landry would earn first team All-Big Ten honors during his senior season at Purdue.
Making his presence felt once again in the playoffs was Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen (right). Leading the Grizzlies in the playoffs with 2.0 steals per game, Allen continued to be the team's defensive leader. Allen complimented his defensive play with 10.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. The Chicago-native began his collegiate basketball career in 2000-01 with Butler (Kan.) before transferring to Wabash Valley (Ill.) for the 2001-02 season. Allen went on to play at Oklahoma State where he was named Big 12 Conference Player of the Year in 2003-04.
Former Coffeyville (Kan.) forward Reggie Evans played a major role in the Nets first NBA Playoffs appearance in their new home in Brooklyn. During the playoffs, Evans averaged 4.6 points and a team-high 12.3 rebounds per game. Following two seasons with the Red Ravens, Evans moved on to Iowa where he was named an honorable mention All-American and Big Ten Tournament MVP in 2000-01.
The Atlanta Hawks saw former Cisco (Texas) forward Ivan Johnson post 6.0 points and 3.3 rebounds per game during their playoff run. Johnson began his collegiate career with the Wranglers in 2002-03.

Competing in the Summit League, the Jackrabbits have been successful on the team level and the individual level as well.
In the 2010-11 season, the Jacks took second in both the indoor and outdoor seasons.
Since joining the Summit League and Division I competition, SDSU has been competing at a high level.
Not only have Jackrabbits been rewarded with their hardwork in the classroom during their undergrad career, they have recieved post-graduate scholarships.
A Rapid City native, Jasinski also earned recognition on Capital One Academic All-America Men's Track and Field/Cross Country Third Team with a 3.78 grade-point average while majoring in electrical engineering. Besides his academic accomplishments, Jasinski excelled in the field events during his career at SDSU, winning the high jump and placing second in the triple jump in earning Field MVP honors at the 2011 Summit League Outdoor Championships.
He competed in both events at the NCAA West Preliminaries, narrowly missing a berth in the NCAA Championships with a 13th-place effort in the high jump. Jasinski holds school records in the indoor heptathlon and high jump both indoors and outdoors. In addition, Jasinski has been named to all-academic teams by The Summit League and the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Not a lot of coaches have had the career like Rod DeHaven has had. DeHaven had a standout career while he was a student at SDSU, and was able to come back and continue to have success as a coach.
While coaching the cross country teams, DeHaven has continued the long standing tradition of excellence at South Dakota State. In 2005, the men's team captured the NCAA Division I Independent Championships, which was their 30th conference title in the program's history and first at the Division I level.
During his four years of cross country competition, he ran to an unprecedented four North Central Conference individual championships and four top-10 finishes at the NCAA Division II national meet. With DeHaven leading the pack, SDSU also captured four conference team championships and the 1985 NCAA Division II National Championship.
With the current student-athletes enjoying success, they are are building a solid foundation for tomorrow. With the hardwork of the SDSU and their alums, SDSU is proud to announce the building of Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex.
Opening in the fall of 2013, the facility includes an eight-lane, 300-meter track and 100 yards of synthetic turf, along with space for sports medicine, athletic training, strength and conditioning, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, observation rooms and office facilities.

Retail Sales: Background
The retail sales industry is the section of the economy that sells finished products to end user consumers. This broad industry includes stores that sell clothing, shoes, electronics, computers, furniture, appliances and hardware, as well as department and convenience stores, mail order and vending machine companies and shopping malls. As of 2009, an estimated two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) comes from retail consumption.
The industry's leader in terms of federal campaign giving is the retail giant Wal-Mart. During the 2008 election cycle, people and political action committees associated with the company contributed more than $1.6 million to federal candidates and parties. Following Wal-Mart in campaign contributions is home improvement and construction supply giant Home Depot, which donated more than $1.1 million during the 2008 election cycle.
The International Council of Shopping Centers, which contributed more than $897,000 to federal candidates and parties, is next. During the past two decades, the retail industry contributed more than $142 million to federal candidates and parties, giving 60 percent of that total to Republicans. The industry's fourth largest contributor is a another trade group -- the National Association of Convenience Stores.
This industry's main source of profits comes from gasoline and tobacco sales, thereby pitting it against environmentalists and anti-tobacco interests.
Lobbying in the retail industry has increased for the past two decades, increasing significantly in 2008 and 2009 as bills such as the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (H.R. 4040), the Employee Free Choice act of 2008 (H.R. 1409) and health care reform legislation came across the House and Senate floors.
In 2009, the retail industry spent more than $41.5 million on lobbying efforts with pharmacy services provider, CVS/Caremark Corp., leading the way, spending more than $8.1 million to influence lawmakers and policies in Congress with Wal-Mart close behind spending more than $7.9 million. Since 2003, Wal-Mart lead the way in federal lobbying expenditures, but the recent health care bill spurred CVS/Caremark to increase its lobbying presence on Capitol Hill -- from a little more than $720,000 in 2007 to more than $8.1 million in 2009.
Among some of the top issues that the retail industry lobbies for include trade and import policy, taxes, and labor, antitrust and workplace laws.
