PHOENIX — His face is shadowed under an oversized baseball cap. His gaze is often averted to the ceiling or floor. His handshake is distant, his voice is small, his sentences trail off into awkward silence.
The first impression of Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke is that, despite having just signed a $147-million deal with a team in baseball's second-largest market, he simply wants to run away and hide.
It is a daily act of courage that he does not.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"I didn't think there was anything wrong with me," he said Friday. ''But there is, I guess."
Greinke will be paid more than any right-handed pitcher in baseball history to serve as one of the new centerpieces on a Dodgers team that has been rebuilt to challenge for a championship. Yet seven years ago, he was too uncomfortable in public to even throw a pitch.
Greinke walked away from the Kansas City Royals and missed two months of the 2006 season with what was eventually diagnosed as social anxiety disorder and clinical depression. He returned to the minor leagues hoping only to become functional. It turns out, he became great, eventually winning the Cy Young Award for the Royals in 2009, winning a playoff game for the Milwaukee Brewers, and briefly pitching for the Angels before eventually winding up in front of a small group of reporters Friday in his first truly personal interview as a Dodger.
"I've already talked about this a bunch," the slight 29-year-old warned everyone. "I'll get into it a little, but it won't be the best interview of your all's lives."
Twenty-five minutes later it ended as an interview that, painfully candid and quietly strong, felt like a triumph.
Social anxiety disorder, a condition shared by millions, is marked by extreme discomfort when a person is placed in social situations. Greinke was clearly uncomfortable Friday, yet he answered every question with an honesty that many players can't even summon when discussing a silly game. In a macho baseball clubhouse culture where human frailties are considered condemnable weaknesses, Greinke might as well have been pitching underhand, yet he brought it hard.
"I'm not afraid to say it, that's what it is," he said of his condition. "I'd rather get it off [his chest] than try to hide it. I'd have to spend energy trying to hide it."
He talked about the feelings that first plagued him in high school.
"I don't know a good way to put it — it's having anxiety every day," he said. "It's not fun. I wouldn't call it painful, but it's definitely not enjoyable."
He talked about finally succumbing when he walked out of the Royals' spring training camp at the start of his third big league season, in 2006. He endured one bullpen session where he was so vexed he couldn't throw a strike, winging each pitch with increasing recklessness and speed. Afterward, with onlookers staring in sad confusion, he walked off the mound and — he thought — out of the game forever.
"Why am I putting myself through this torture when I don't really want to do it?" he recalled feeling. "I enjoyed playing, but I didn't enjoy anything else about it. I was like, 'I'll go do something I really want to do.'"
He talked about returning to the game after being diagnosed with a disorder that he never even knew existed.
"I realized there was something abnormal about my feelings and there was a way to get rid of them," he said.
It has been written that he was helped with therapy and drugs, but he said that's only half right. He said it was all about the drugs, revealing that he takes one Zoloft pill every day.
"For me, it's just the medicine, it really was," he said. "Talking to people about it doesn't help me at all. It is just straight medication; it changed everything."
He said that, contrary to popular assumption, a pitching mound surrounded by thousands of people is actually his refuge. "I don't mind people looking at me, that's never bothered me," he said. "I don't want them looking at me in my house; now that would bother me."
He said that's one of the reasons he signed as a free agent in a giant place like Los Angeles. He doesn't mind being watched by crowds. It's the close personal encounters that bother him. He figures Hollywood is the perfect place for him to be completely anonymous.
"I don't want people following me around, everywhere I go, people talking to me and stuff," he said. "I don't want to be walking down the street with a bodyguard. I don't think that will be an issue playing in L.A."
However, he said he is so intimidated by the traffic that he contemplated renting a Kobe Bryant-style helicopter before learning he couldn't land it near Dodger Stadium.
"I was just driving through there; it's the biggest city in the universe. How far it goes, I don't know how big it is, but that thing never ends," he said of Los Angeles.
The Dodgers knew he felt like this, which is why the most impressive part of his free-agent interview was how and where it was conducted. Most top free agents insist on teams traveling to see them and their phalanx of agents, but Greinke insisted on flying from his Orlando home to Los Angeles with his wife, Emily. Once here, he drove to Dodger Stadium for the interview by himself.
"It was one of most impressive sit-down meetings I've had with a player," General Manager Ned Colletti said. "He was by himself, giving us completely unfiltered answers. It was like, 'Here I am, guys.'"
Here he is, indeed, even though, once the season begins, his Dodgers teammates will barely notice him. He has become so resilient in so many ways, yet remains so vulnerable in others. He won't be part of this Dodgers clubhouse chemistry business, as he often stays to himself, unwilling to endure small talk.
"I don't like to just talk about nothing, or less than nothing," he said. "If it's something interesting, I'm fine with it, but, 'Hey, Zack, how is your day?' People ask that and somebody actually tells them what happened in their day? I don't have any real interest in that."
All the Dodgers need to know about Zack Greinke's day, they will know when he shows up. Every day is a challenging day. Every day is great day.

The portfolio (produced by Danziger Projects in collaboration with Kate Moss) contains eleven 30 x 24 inch prints by eleven of the world's leading photographers all of who have played a key
role in picturing Ms. Moss. The artists are:
Chuck Close
Annie Leibovitz
Glen Luchford
Mert & Marcus
Terry Richardson
David Sims
Mario Sorrenti
Juergen Teller
Mario Testino
Inez Van Lamsweerde + Vinoodh Matadin
Bruce Weber
Unlike any model in the history of fashion photography, Kate Moss has proved to be a unique
subject blurring the boundaries between fashion photography and contemporary art. In a
career that has lasted 23 years to date, it can be said that Moss's particular beauty and singular
figure have made her more of a muse than a supermodel. No matter what she is wearing (or
not wearing) Moss invariably becomes the subject of the photograph, supercharging the image
and inspiring photographers to create some of their most imaginative work. Unselfconscious
and unapologetic, Moss's persona and sensuality have not only changed our notions of beauty
but also influenced the culture at large.
In addition to the portfolio, the gallery will be showing unseen photographs of Moss taken in
1988 (the year before her career was launched in The FACE) by Gene Lemuel; Glen Luchford's
pictures of Kate in Times Square on her first trip to New York; rarely seen pictures by Mary
McCartney and Herb Ritts; and a recent series of silkscreens by British artist Peter Blake which
place Moss in the pantheon of iconic pop-cultural figures.

You might thing that multi-tasking is a good thing, but it could be hurting your relationships.
Last night, I was multi-tasking. I was sitting on my couch working on my laptop, planning this show and writing a blog. Meanwhile, my daughter, Emily (7), was sitting next to me watching a show.
I thought, we were spending quality time together, until she touched my chin, moved my face away from my computer screen and said, "Are you done with that yet? I want to be all yours."
I apologized and shut down my laptop and cuddled with her on the couch until she fell asleep. I don't want my busyness to get in the way of my relationships with my family, or my relationship with God.
I wonder, if God feels the same way. Asking me, Are you done with worrying about that yet? I want to be all yours?
His word says "You must worship no other gods, for the LORD, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you." –Exodus 34:14 NLT
Lord, please remove every unnecessary distraction in my mind that takes me away from my relationships and from You. I am all Yours.
Now Playing: Hello, My Name Is

Retta Lee Jones is blessed with a beautiful voice and has big dreams of leaving her tiny Tennessee hometown.

But the road to success isn't a smooth one, and a girl's gotta figure out who she can trust in a town full of showmen and scammers. Soon Retta begins to have doubts: Can she make her mark and still stay true to herself?"Reading about Retta Lee Jones's journey to Nashville was a lot like reading my own diary, except she had prettier boots.

Shoplifting suspects sought by officials The Vermillion Police Department and area law enforcement officials are searching for two suspects involved in a reported shoplifting incident Dec. 6 at Jones' Food Center in Vermillion.
After suspecting that they were trying to steal baby formula, Greg Peters, owner/manager of the store, stopped two adult Hispanic males as they left the building at about 12:47 p.m. Peters managed to detain one individual "but the other one reached in his pocket as if he had a weapon," said Police Chief Bruce Plate, "so Greg let the first man go."
The suspects fled the scene in a blue Toyota four-door with Texas license plates. They were last seen heading east on Cherry Street and area law enforcement officials were notified.

Not what it used to be. Now with friendly roaches. – Until my last two visits during the last 6-8 months, Hell's Kitchen was one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city.
A group of six went to have dinner and drinks after a show. By experience the pineapple margaritas, the menu and portions were simply perfect. The last two visits were very different as menu items have been removed/changed, portions have been noticeably decreased, and the place appears to be a home for huge ROACHES. Two of them jumped and walked over two of us during our last visit. Due to the surprise and disgust, everyone jumped away from the table and waiters rushed to catch and pick up the roaches with white towels. Everyone at the restaurant noticed the chaos. What was most disappointing was that the manager on duty (12/02 evening) or any other member of the staff did not take the initiative or time to come apologize to our party. We had to ask to see the manager. He approached us and quickly hushed us saying,
Great Food – This place is magnificent, we went there last nite as a pre dinner for a how we were going to see. We made reservations so luckily we didn't have to wait. The place is very tiny but youre still comfortable not tiny were you're closed in to the next table. The ambience and the atmosphere were great the lights are dim down. The waiters were great they explained the menu and all my questions about some ingredients. The food is delicious I am not a big fan of Mexican food but this was to die for, mind you I am a very picky eater and petite. The appetizer I choose were the scallops trust me when I tell you they were really really good, but becuase its an appetizer it was very tiny and they only served 3 which is fine. I only has one drink which was a Sangria it was made to perfection not too sweet and not too dry. For the main course I had Roasted Chicken and Monterey Jack Quesadilla with Poblano Crema. It was very delicious no complaints with the food whatsoever. Cons are Pricey what can we say were in New York what isn't pricey, there is only one bathroom so you have to wait 5-10 minutes. Those are just minor cons. My overall experience was great I will reccomend this restaurant to anyone.
Horrible food that made me sick and overrated! – After reading all the acclaimed reviews of Hell's Kitchen, I decided this would be a perfect place to wine and dine my wife for our first Valentine's Day dinner together.
We were impressed with the ambiance when we walked in since it looked romantic and the friendliness and service of the staff. We actually thought that we were going to have a great Vday dinner!?
My wife and myself agreed on eating American food. However, I saw a lot of ITALIAN options instead on the menu and very little AMERICAN food. We have nothing against Italian food but we had that for lunch.
My wife wound up having the shrimp appetizer instead ONLY which tasted just ok. I decided to eat the "World Famous" HK Burger but the burger just tasted ok. After 1 hour and I reached home, I started getting sick. I got a massive stomach ache and cramps thanks to the HK Burger which was either undercooked or the beef was tainted and contaminated. Is this the price I have to pay for eating a "quality" burger??? I was sick for two days and had to miss work! Because of HK, I am now paranoid to go outside to any restaurant and eat since we are not the ones cooking!
The restaurant is soooo overrated. My experience at HK definitely left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended).
great food and staff..CREEPY chef – I ate here last week with my boyfriend...started at the bar with some amazing cocktails..me..wajito..my fella..a beuno anejo margitita..bartender with the moustache was super friendly and helpful!!!! Dinner was great but what bothered us most was the creepy guy with the chef whites(chef maybe??) who stood at the end of the bar for most of our meal and just "surveyed"the dining room...Why isn't he in the kitchen cooking..looks like he gets in the way of the staff a lot too. The reason I say "creepy" is because my boyfriend said when I went to the bathroom he totally stared at me,checking me out..EEEEEWWWWW!! Food was great and staff was super friendly from the hostess..to the ,manager..to the bartender(nice moustache..my boyfriend has one too!!!) to the super nice server(forgot his name) BUT seriously that chef guy is creepy..get back in the kitchen....and stop making customers feel weird with your creepy stare
eh, just okay – just okay....ambiance. just okay...food. just okay...service. tried the steak tacos, sirloin, guac, the sea bass and a few other things with friends. again, the food was okay but not the best guac or the best anything. i was expecting progressive, flavorful mexican but received bland mexican that i could make at home. again, its an okay place if you're hungry and happen to be in hell's kitchen, but nothing i would go out of my way to visit. i've always been skeptical of moderately priced to expensive mexican, because that just goes against the grain of what mexican food is, and this is the epitome of why i would just go down to chavellas in brooklyn if i had a craving for anything mexican.
I had a great time – I ate at Hell's Kitchen on Valentine's Day and had an awesome time. Everyone on the staff were very nice and helpful. When the manager stopped by to ask how everything was I couldn't stop gushing about the food. My favorite dish was the Tiger Shrimp. My boyfriend had the Lamb and it was out of this world. If you have a chance to stop by the bar for a drink and apps make sure Rick is working. He is the best.
Worst Dinner in Recent Memory – We had an 8pm reservation, were seated at 9:15, received our first nibbles at 10pm. No apologies, misleading wait updates, and no attempt to make the situation better. When we spoke with the manager, we were chastised and the blame was placed on the table seated before us. The evening ended with the manager sarcastically making fun of us, the bartender criticizing my drink order and being told we were not welcome back. Aren't they thrilled they included 20% gratuity in the check? We paid the full bill and will never go back. Oh, and the food was overpriced.
Everything was great.. until... – Myself and 6 other people had 6pm Wednesday night reservations here. We were there in time for the reservation, greeted by a friendly but rushed waiter, got drinks, apps, dinner and coffee. Everything was wonderful, although the app sizes were definitely on the small size for the price. After the coffee was served you could tell they were rushing us.. the check was brought before it was asked for and the bus boys began clearing everything off the table and when I say everything they even took our water glasses out from in front of us. They took the paid check off the table and within 2 minutes came over and asked us to leave our table. I have NEVER been asked to leave a table before, especially in a nicer restaurant that has received 4 1/2 stars by other people. I will not be going back, and would definitely not recommend this to anyone, unless they like being rushed after paying a considerable amount for dinner
Phenomenal Restaurant! – Honestly this is my favorite restaurant in NYC. The atmosphere is great, the food is phenomenal, the service is lovely and it's just overall an incredible restaurant/food and experience. Ordered the sea bass, the guacamole as an appetizer, the banana empanadas for dessert. A really most delightful experience and it's relatively inexpensive as well. Don't forget to try the Sangria as well. You'll be coming back again and again.
horrible crowd – the people who sat next to us were harassing us and making racial jokes while we were sitting next to them. It was an awful dining experience. especially in nyc??! felt like i was in mississippi. Its a shame because the food was good but it was just unbearable especially the finance dooshes harassting us during our meal. Dont understand why hells kitchen attracts such trash. really not cool

The Homestead at Cloudland Station in Chickamauga, Ga. The barn was first constructed in 1871 and is being reconstructed and upgraded into a wedding venue.
Project: The Homestead at Cloudland Station
Owner: John Tatum
Location: 9832 Highway 193, Chickamauga, Ga.
Cost: About $1 million
Scope: The Homestead will include a farmhouse, carriage house, blacksmith's shop, produce stand and barn. The facility will be used to host weddings, conferences and gatherings. The circa-1871 barn was taken apart and moved from Pennsylvania to Cloudland Station, where it is being reconstructed and upgraded.
Timeline: The barn will be finished in six to eight weeks. The farm- house will be started in the next two weeks. It will be raised in three days by using traditional house-building techniques.
Features: The Amish-built barn will have modern amenities, including bathrooms, electricity, a balcony and chandeliers. It's made mostly of hand-pegged oak and will include several rooms and a catering kitchen.
Size of barn: 2,800 square feet
Price to rent the Homestead: Between $5,000 and $10,000
History: Cloudland Station is both a private getaway and a residential community on 450 acres offering a slower-paced lifestyle. The master plan includes several neighborhoods, a library, general store, treehouse, tire swings, coffee shop, cafe, amphitheater and town square. There are trails, orchards and creeks. The Homestead sits at the front of the property. "The whole valley is sprinkled with buildings from the late-1700s architecture to the late 1800s," Tatum said. "Our theme is getting back to the simple times."

Environmentalist Chad Pregracke became the personification of the adage "preaching to the choir" when he challenged the Benton Area Chamber of Commerce banquet audience to "pick a cause, get involved, champion it and make a difference."
Pregracke, who has made cleaning up the Mississippi River the chief focus of his life, stressed the importance of involvement, while noting that by doing so people "can make the world a better place."
"One person at a time can make a difference," he said.
Bryant police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred around 9:20 p.m. Monday at the Subway restaurant at 611 Office Park Drive.
Sgt. Todd Crowson reported that two black men came into the store and robbed the workers at gunpoint.
The two men reportedly ordered the two employees to open the cash drawers and safe. Once the money was taken, the robbers moved the victims to the back of the store, at which time they took whatever money the employees had in their purses and wallets, Crowson said.
The suspects then fled out the front door of the restaurant, police said.
It was taco soup to the finish line for First Security Bank.
For the third consecutive year, the financial institution's taco-flavored soup took top honors at Habitat for Humanity of Saline County's "Souper Bowl" cookoff.
Jerry Ponder and Kaycee Wright of First Security operated the bank's booth where they collected the biggest financial return for the event.
"They raised over $300 at that booth," said Amy Bennett, associate director of the chapter.
The booth winner was determined based on the total amount of money collected in each team's tip jar.

BENTON – Despite a less-than-stellar performance, the Benton Panthers came away with a 50-44 victory over the Sheridan Yellowjackets in 7A/6A South conference play on Tuesday night in Benton Arena. It was the Panthers' 12th consecutive victory and Benton is ranked seventh in the state in the Hog Country Top 10 poll.
"I did not think we played well at all tonight," Benton Coach Chris Nail said. "We had dead legs all night. We didn't have our usual motion. Sheridan played good. You can't say it was all us, but I didn't think we played well.
GLEN ROSE - When the month of February rolls around, there is just one thing on the mind of high school basketball teams; postseason play. For the Harmony Grove Cardinals, the 5-3A 2012-13 district tournament looms in the near future.
On Tuesday, the Cardinals traveled just up the street to Glen Rose for an intense rivalry-renewing game with the Beavers. After busting a four-game skid with a win over eStem on Friday, Harmony Grove added a second straight win Tuesday, defeating Glen Rose handily, 75-55.
BRYANT – Sophomore K.J. Hill poured in 20 points, Greyson Giles added 10, but their efforts fell short as the Bryant Hornets fell to the visiting Little Rock Fair War Eagles 56-48 on Tuesday night.
Despite outscoring Fair 38-35 in the second half, Bryant Head Coach Mike Abrahamson said his team wasn't ready from the opening tip.
"We didn't want this one for some reason," Abrahamson said. "We weren't ready to play."

The prostitution scandal in Kennebunk is the focus of a feature story in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, going on sale nationally Tuesday. "This article puts the spotlight back on Kennebunk," said one Portland lawyer.

"Even though we know all about it, the readers of Vanity Fair will get a really good look at what's going on up here," he said. "I'm guessing that the Vanity Fair type reader might be the type who might vacation in New England."
Zerillo said he thinks the piece tells the story from a perspective that will give outsiders a look inside the town and the scandal, in broader strokes than local news outlets may have taken.
He described interest in the story as a fire in a fire pit that someone is trying to put out. "You may not see it at the surface, but there are some burning embers below that may flare up at any time," Zerillo said.
The Kennebunk town manager, the Maine Office of Tourism and another attorney quoted in the Vanity Fair story did not return phone messages seeking comment Thursday.
Kelly McBride, a senior faculty member who specializes in ethics at the Poynter Institute, an organization in Florida that teaches journalism and advises newsrooms around the world, said Kennebunk residents may not see the international appeal of the scandal, but the story is compelling for many reasons.
McBride said most news stories about prostitution focus on very low-income people and are scant on titillating details.
"Prostitution is not really uncommon," she said, "but it's not too often that we get to see it documented" and involving people with middle to high incomes.
"Because you have local law enforcement that is insisting on prosecuting so many people, you have the story of prostitution laid bare," she said. "Your law enforcement agencies are making the choice to pursue all the charges against all the people. They are opening the story up to everyone."
McBride said a magazine like Vanity Fair can tell the story from a different perspective from other news outlets.
"Vanity Fair has a very distinct journalism function with a very distinct journalism audience," McBride said. "It may very well seem to the people of Kennebunk that this is too much. But it's more for Vanity Fair's audience worldwide.
"The frame that they put on the story is the juxtaposition of a prostitution ring to a very picturesque, coastal New England town. You can't argue that this frame is inaccurate, but it probably glosses over some of the nuances of the story," she said.
McBride said she consulted early on with newsrooms, including the Portland Press Herald's, regarding whether to publish the names of accused prostitution clients, but has not followed the step-by-step developments.
She said extensive coverage of the case in the local media makes sense because local authorities have devoted so many resources to investigating and prosecuting the case.

iOS Push: Getting Started¶
- iOS Push: Getting Started
- Production vs Development Apps in Urban Airship
- Set Up Your Application with Apple
- Setting up Urban Airship
Production vs Development Apps in Urban Airship¶
When you create or edit an application record on our server, you have to select where your app system is "In development, connecting to test servers," or "In production, connecting to real push servers." Apple treats the two servers completely separately, so a device token for development/sandbox will not work on production/distribution.
When building your app using a development provisioning profile, set your Urban Airship application to In development, and upload the development Push SSL certificate. To push to an app built with a distribution provisioning profile (either with a release build in Xcode, ad-hoc distribution, or the iTunes App Store), use an application that is In production, and upload the production Push SSL certificate.
Because Apple treats development and production/distribution as completely separate instances, we suggest making two applications in the Urban Airship web interface. That way you can continue to build and develop your application even after releasing it without interrupting your users.
Set Up Your Application with Apple¶
Before you can integrate Urban Airship into your iOS apps, there are a handful of steps you must take on the Apple end of things, which require membership in the iOS Developer Program.
If you are an iOS Developer, these are the required steps you must take in order to configure your app for push notifications. Once these basic steps are completed, your app will be ready to communicate with the Urban Airship Push service.
We use your Push SSL Certificate to communicate with Apple's push notification servers. The private key resides securely on our servers, and Apple uses the public key to authenticate us on your behalf.
Finding Your Application¶
In the Apple Developer Members Center, click on Identifiers under iOS Apps and locate your application in the list. If you haven't registered an App ID yet, click the + symbol and fill out the form, making sure to check the Push Notifications checkbox.
When you expand the application, you will see two settings for push notifications with yellow or green status icons:
Click Settings to continue. (Note: The Settings button may be titled Edit if push notifications have been previously configured.) If the Settings/Edit button is not available, you may not be the Team Agent or an Admin. The person who originally created the developer account is your team agent and they will have to carry out the steps below.
Downloading Your Certificate¶
If you need to enable the Development or Production Push SSL Certificate, click Settings/(Edit) and choose which certificate to create:
After clicking Create Certificate, you will see the Add iOS Certificate Assistant. Follow the instructions in the assistant and then click Continue.
Using the Certificate Signing request that was just created generate the APNS Push SSL certificate.
Once the Download button appears, you are ready to download. You may need to reload the page for this to update. Download the created certificate.
Open the certificate. Opening the certificate will open Keychain Access.
In Keychain Access your certificate should be shown under "My Certificates". If not, check "Certificates" to see if it's located there.
Renewing your certificate¶
If you are renewing either your Development or Production Push SSL Certificate, follow the steps outlined above as if you were uploading the certificate for the first time. There is no need to revoke the previous certificate in order to make this change. There may be two production certificates at the same time, to allow you to continue using the old certificate while uploading the new one.
Exporting the .p12 file¶
Select the certificate that was just added to Keychain Access and select File -> Export Items... from the menu. Be sure to select My Certificates under the Category menu on the lower left-hand side. If My Certificates is not highlighted, you will not be able to export the certificate as a .p12 file.
When saving the file, use the Personal Information Exchange (.p12) format.
Uploading the push certificate to Urban Airship¶
Go to the your application in the Urban Airship dashboard, go to Settings, Services, and click the Configure button for Apple Push Notification Service.
If your certificate has a password, enter it here. Then, click the Choose File button.
Select the file that was saved in step 2 of Exporting the .p12 file.
After uploading the file make sure to click Save.
Your push certificate is now uploaded and ready for use.
Setting up Urban Airship¶
Now that you're all set up on the Apple end, it's time to integrate Urban Airship into your iOS project. Below are the minimum steps required to configure your app(s) to talk to the Urban Airship service. We will take things from there, communicating with APNS on your behalf.
Once the Urban Airship pieces are in place, we will maintain two-way communication with Apple, sending notifications and other content on your behalf, and receiving and reporting user activity and engagement data back to you.
Download & Install Our Library & Frameworks¶
Download and unzip the latest version of libUAirship into the same directory as your project.
Required Libraries¶
The core library requires your application to link against the following Frameworks:
MessageUI.framework (only required for the sample UI)
AudioToolbox.framework (only required for the sample UI)
MapKit.framework (only required for the sample UI)
Create AirshipConfig.plist¶
The library uses a .plist configuration file named AirshipConfig.plist to manage your production and development application profiles.
Create two applications within your Urban Airship account: One for development and one for production. For example:
- Name_of_your_app_dev
- Name_of_your_app_prod
Create an AirshipConfig.plist file.
Set the following values to the ones in your applications:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>inProduction</key> <false/> <key>developmentAppKey</key> <string>Your Development App Key</string> <key>developmentAppSecret</key> <string>Your Development App Secret</string> <key>productionAppKey</key> <string>Your Production App Key</string> <key>productionAppSecret</key> <string>Your Production App Secret</string> </dict> </plist>
If you are using development builds and testing using the Apple sandbox set inProduction to false. For App Store and Ad-Hoc builds, set it to true. You may also allow the library to auto-detect the production mode by setting detectProvisioningMode to true.
Build Settings¶
Header search path - Ensure that your project's header search path includes the Airship directory (recursive).
Link against the static library. Add the libUAirship.a file to the "Link Binary With Libraries" section in the Build Phases tab for your target.
Add "-ObjC" linker flag to "Other Linker Flags" to prevent "selector not recognized" runtime exceptions.
Objective C Implementation¶
- Import the required header files
- At the top of your application delegate include any required headers:
#import "UAirship.h"
#import "UAConfig.h"
#import "UAPush.h"
- Initialize UAirship Instance and Register for Remote Notifications
- Inside your application delegate's application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method, initialize a shared UAirship instance by calling [UAirship takeOff] or [UAirship takeoff:config]. takeoff: must be called, and return, in this method, on the main thread.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Populate AirshipConfig.plist with your app's info from https://go.urbanairship.com
// or set runtime properties here.
UAConfig *config = [UAConfig defaultConfig];
// You can also programmatically override the plist values:
// config.developmentAppKey = @"YourKey";
// etc.
// Call takeOff (which creates the UAirship singleton)
[UAirship takeOff:config];
Set the desired notification types on [UAPush shared]. Sounds, alerts and badges are the default types, but if you are using Newsstand or would like a custom set of types, you can set these immediately after [UAirship takeOff] is called. The library will register to receive these types of notifications as soon as push is enabled.
// Request a custom set of notification types
[UAPush shared].notificationTypes = (UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
Push is enabled by default, but if you would like to defer the iOS push permission prompt, you can disable notifications by default. To do so, add the following after the call to [UAirship takeOff]:
[UAPush setDefaultPushEnabledValue:NO];
To enable push later on in your application:
// This will trigger the proper registration or de-registration code in the library.
[[UAPush shared] setPushEnabled:YES];
Register Your Device¶
- Once you have this implemented, run & compile your code.
- Add the application to your phone.
- When you open the app on your phone, it will ask for permission to send notifications. If you aren't prompted to receive notifications, you should walk back through the steps on this page.
To make sure your device token is registered:
- Log in to go.urbanairship.com
- On the left-hand sidebar, navigate to Audience ==> Device Tokens
- If your device token registered properly, it will appear in the Device Tokens listing.
Send a Test Notification¶
There are as many ways of using our HTTP-based API as there are programmers, but let's get started as quickly as we can. Here's an example using curl, a command-line tool that comes with OS X:
curl -X POST -u "<application key>:<master secret>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"device_tokens": ["<token>"], "aps": {"alert": "Hello!"}}' \
This does a few things:
- It sets the HTTP Basic Authentication header with the application key as the user name, and the master secret for the password.
- It sets the Content-Type header to application/json, to tell our server you're sending JSON.
- It sets the data you're sending, including the device token as the recipient.
You should receive a 200 response code, with no data in the body. This means that we accepted your request, and are processing it and sending it on to Apple!
If it worked: Congratulations!
If it didn't work
In the iOS Provisioning Portal, click on App IDs and locate your application in the list. Next to it are two settings for push notifications with yellow or green status icons:
- Log in to your Urban Airship account
- Check your error console
Your Error Console provides help to debug any issues you may have as you get started. There should be reasons why the notification wasn't received.
If you used curl to send the notification, confirm that curl is working properly by using the echo endpoint:
curl https://go.urbanairship.com/api/echo/?msg=hello
If curl is set up properly, you should receive the following response:
"msg": "hello"
If that fails, try a different testing tool, like HTTP Client.
If it succeeds, or if you get a different testing tool, try this to send a notification.
Check the error console in the Xcode Organizer; that can sometimes have useful information. Otherwise, go back through the process, paying close attention to:
The application ID, bundle ID, provisioning profile, and SSL certificate: All of these must point to the same identifier.
The device token: make sure you copied it correctly.

Honey Pot adds a twist to good southern food
As if overnight, a new storefront coated with a layer of fresh platinum colored paint appeared on Fourth Street, advertising a menu of "modern southern" cooking and the same high quality standards as the owners' craft cocktail bar next door. Honey Pot, the newest addition to Winston-Salem's dining scene, is the collaborative vision of the Tate Family, Tate's bartender Matt Ceneviva and Chef Matt Pleasants.
Amendment One faces serious legal hurdle
n recent months, state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage have fallen like dominos, struck down by federal judges in states ranging from Texas, Utah, Michigan and Virginia among others. Next month, three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit — which covers Virginia, West Virginia and both Carolinas — will meet to determine the fate of Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage.
Prominent alumna to join university faculty

Deacs suffer setback in Chapel Hill
The Wake Forest baseball team got off to a strong start in ACC play this season, winning four of its first five conference series. Last weekend, however, the Deacs hit a bump in the road — or rather, on the road — as the North Carolina Tar Heels handed them their second conference series loss of the season in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Spotlight: Danny Manning
Long before he was the No. 1 pick in the 1988 NBA Draft, Danny Manning knew Wake Forest. Manning grew up only thirty minutes away in Greensboro, N.C. Well aware of the basketball tradition at Wake Forest, Manning believes that the university and his values mesh well. Moreover, Manning has a vision for the program, partly drawing upon the vast array of experiences he has accumulated as a player and coach.
Clawson aims to reestablish culture
With two weeks of spring practices underway, the university's 32nd head football coach Dave Clawson is learning about his new team and university. Clawson left Bowling Green State University in Ohio on Dec. 10, 2013 to make a new start here with the Demon Deacons.
