In Texas it seems growth is inevitable. You only have to look as far as Forbes Magazine's list of fastest growing cities to see Texas leads the way. Texas welcomed in 427,000 newcomers from 2011 to 2012. The state's four largest metro areas took the lion's share of the newcomers. Austin leads the way at number one, Houston two, Dallas number three and San Antonio, number nine.
Here's how they say they came up with the list:
We started with the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), which are cities and their surrounding suburbs, as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. We rated these geographic areas based on six metrics. Using data from Moody's Analytics, we assessed the estimated rate of population growth for 2012 and 2013, the rate of job growth in 2012, and the rate of gross metro product growth, or economic growth, for 2012. We also factored in federal unemployment data and median salaries for local college-educated workers, courtesy of Payscale.com. The result is a list of the 20 fastest growing metro areas in America in terms of population and economy.

Quanah Parker was an important Comanche chief, a leader in the Native American Church, and the last leader of the powerful Quahadi band before they surrendered their battle of the Great Plains. With five wives and 25 children, Quanah had numerous descendants. Many people in Texas and Oklahoma claim him as an ancestor. S.C. Gwynne recently published a book on Quanah Parker, and is giving a lecture on him at the museum on April 5. Here is part 3 of my blog on Quanah Parker. If you missed it, don't worry, you can read part 1 here and part 2 here.
1872 saw continued Comanche raids into Texas, attacking settlements and raiding cattle. Once more, President Grant sent the Fourth Cavalry after them. This time, they applied the hard learned lessons from the past. They attacked a Comanche village, killing fifty-two Indians and taking 124 prisoners and the band's horses (Gwynne 2010:255). However, that night Comanche warriors took back most of the captured horses. From then on a new policy was instituted regarding Comanche horses: they were always all shot (Gwynne 2010:256).
By 1874, extensive contact between Comanche bands and the settlements, as well as a decline in Indian population resulted in the Comanche slowly losing their identity. The bands started to intermingle. By that year, their staple food supply, the buffalo, was fast dwindling in numbers. White hunters, armed with high-powered rifles had started to kill off the buffalo, in an attempt to weaken the Comanche and other tribes who relied on them for food (Gwynne 2010: 260). Starvation set in. MacKenzie kept his patrols in the field, even in winter. Things from bad to worse fast.

Against this backdrop of utter despair a prophet appeared. His name was Isa-tai, a magician, and some say con man as well (Gwynne 2010:264). He claimed he had medicine that made one bullet proof. He also claimed that he had visions of waging a final war against the white man, which would result in chasing them off Indian lands (Gwynne 2010:265). Quanah Parker accompanied him on his visits to the bands. Together they made an impressive pair of leaders: one man who claimed invincibility and the other who had remained victorious against the white man. Quanah became the first – and last – Principal Chief of the Comanches.

Agreements were made. A night attack would ensue. The target was buffalo hunter camp at Adobe Walls (Gwynne 2010: 267). The whole operation was expected to be a sure success. It all backfired. The hunters were wide awake and well prepared when the attack came in the middle of the night. Their superior weapons (buffalo hunting rifles with a range up to a mile) and their use of the saloons and other buildings as defensive barriers helped them carry the day (Gwynne 2010: 270-273).

The white settlers decided to settle the Comanche problem once and for all. The Red River Campaign spelled the end of the Comanche as people roaming the Plains freely. Five mounted columns converged on the Texas Panhandle, looking for Comanche lodges. For months, battles and skirmishes raged across the Panhandle. Most often the cavalry carried the day, occasionally the Indians got the upper hand (Gwynne 2010:277). The final battle took place on September 28, 1874 in Palo Duro Canyon
(Gwynne 2010:280-282). The Comanche were beaten, large numbers died, and the survivors "straggled off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma in the following weeks, thoroughly beaten and never to roam off the reservation again" (Gwynne 2010: 283).

On June 2, 1875, Quanah Parker and his band of fellow Quahadi surrendered. Thus began the final chapter of Quanah's life, one that would last another thirty-six years. When he arrived at Fort Still, he was living in poverty. He lived in a tipi close to the agency, and stood in line with the others to draw rations (Gwynne 2010: 290). Slowly, however, Quanah learned about the rationing process, in particular the phenomenon of splitting up the tribes into "beef bands," and he managed to have himself appointed leader of the third-largest band (Gwynne 2010: 291-292). He also struck up a friendship with the man who had pursued him to the end of the earth, MacKenzie. On MacKenzie' s behalf he tracked down and brought back to the reservation a small group of renegade Comanches (Gwynne 2010:292).
Quanah made a fortune leasing out the grazing rights on Indian held territory. His fortune improved, as did his fame. A book was published about his mother, who had died in 1870, five years before Quanah came to the reservation. He ended up building an extraordinary house in 1890. The moneys came from cattlemen he had befriended (Gwynne 2010: 301). Over the years he would host numerous guests, from fellow Comanches to President Teddy Roosevelt (Gwynne 2010: 312). His generosity eventually caused him to give most of his wealth away. He died on February 23, 1911, at the time of writing this exactly 100 years ago to the day.
He was buried next to his mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, whose remains he had brought up from Texas to be re-interred in Oklahoma. His gravestone reads (Gwynne 2010:319):
Resting here until day breaks
And shadows fall
And darkness disappears
Is Quanah Parker, the last chief of the Comanches.
His legacy lives on, and so do his people, numbering more than 14,000 members.
Make sure you check out S.C. Gwynne's lecture on the Comanche on April 5, 2011 at the museum.
The museum's Plains Indian collection is quite extensive; at its core is the Gordon W. Smith collection, which the museum acquired in 2008. For more information, see here.

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: James Franco Discusses the Book — Might He Play Christian Grey?
James Franco has a sexy upcoming movie, so of course he was asked about the epitome of sexy upcoming movies, Fifty Shades of Grey.
The jack-of-all-trades is executive producing kink, a documentary about the BDSM website kink.com, which is curently screening at Sundance. The Hollywood Reporter wanted to know if Fifty Shades of Grey has made the public more interested in the world of bondage.
"I haven't read it," James admits. So he's the one person left in the world who hasn't read it!
But James says it's possible that the book reflects people's overall fascination in sexier subject matter these days.
"Maybe I was just feeling what was in the air — that people are interested in this," the Rise of the Planet of the Apes star continues.
The film's director, Christina Voros, was also asked if she was influenced by the book. "I also admittedly haven't read it," she says, but she does think the book helped her movie's cause.
"The success of that book is maybe because it took what makes pornography so sort of ubiquitous and used it to its advantage — which was that it came out as an e-book and allowed people to read it without having to own up to buying it and having to go to Barnes and Nobles and picking it up," Christina explains.
"It allowed them to explore the material much in the same way people explore pornography, which is in the comfort of their own home for the most part," she says. "It sort of started trending and people started taking about it."
Meanwhile, James goes on to explain that he's just a sexy guy.
"These kinds of subjects — sexuality and anti-normativity — this kind of thing has been a big interest of mine for a while," James says.
So sexuality is a big interest of his? Good to know! Does this mean the 34-year-old actor might be gunning for the role of Christian Grey? We wouldn't be surprised.

Information Literacy
The most important role for the Stark Campus Library is teaching Information Literacy skills to students. Faculty that assign research projects in their classes may want to consult this page for guidance in relating information literacy competencies to the assignments they give to their classes. It should also help describe each of the competencies and demonstrate how Stark Campus librarians can assist in teaching students these important skills. The page is modeled after the well-established ACRL standards that the library uses as a framework for creating live presentations to classes, online tutorials, and interactive exercises that help students develop information literacy skills.
Standard #1 "KNOW"
"The information literate student determines the nature and extent of the information needed."
This standard involves defining the nature and scope of the research question or topic. Students will want to answer questions such as:
- What is it the student wants to know?
- What is the expected quantity and/or quality of the sources?
- how many sources are needed?
- what types of sources are needed (book, scholarly articles, webpages, etc.)?
- should information discovered be based on opinion or reliable statistics (or both)?
The answers to these questions are often dictated by the requirements for completing the assignment:
- students must choose from a list of predetermined topics
- there is a maximum or minimum number of pages assigned
- there is a minimum number of scholarly articles required
Unless the class includes or is devoted to establishing a research question or topic, students should have their question or topic established before the class is provided library instruction for other information literacy skills.

Interactive Exercise for Choosing a Topic

Assignment Calendar (Kent State University)
Standard #2 "ACCESS"
"The information literate student accesses needed information effectively and efficiently."
Standard #2 focuses on two essential basic skills for conducting research:
- Constructing a viable search strategy
- Applying the search strategy to various resources
- finding books
- finding articles in magazines and professional journals
- using the world wide web to find information
Most instructional sessions devote a great deal of time on this standard. Students are shown how search strategies are constructed by extracting appropriate keywords, developing synonyms, and applying boolean operators. Then they apply the resulting strategy by using laptop computers to explore various online resources as well as print materials in the library's collection. Most sessions involve a mixture of classroom instruction by the librarian and individual or group work with assistance by the librarian. The goal is to teach each student valuable skills and to give them time to work on their classroom assignment.

Other Related Resources:
Standard #3 "EVALUATE"
"The information literate student evaluates information and its sources critically and incorporates selected information into his or her knowledge base and value system."
As students begin the process of discovering information obtained in resources (books, articles, webpages, etc.), they will need to determine the relative merits of that information. Two basic skills taught during library instructional sessions are:
- Identifying the characteristics of scholarly articles
- author affiliations
- length
- structure
- presentation of data
- references
- Evaluating websites according to the following criteria
- domain name extensions (.com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov)
- authority (how do you know if this authority is credible and unbiased?)
- purpose/context (is the intent of the website to inform and/or educate in an impartial manner or is the purpose to persuade and provide an unbalanced point of view?)
- currency (can you tell when the content was created?)
- quantity of information (is there extensive discussion and presentation of the content or are there few web pages with marginal information?)
- supporting evidence (does the site list references or inform the user where data and facts were obtained?)

Standard #4 "USE"
"The information literate student, individually or as a member of a group, uses information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose."
While recognizing that this standard is extremely important, the library defers to the classroom faculty for teaching these important skills.
Other Related Resources:
Standard #5 "ETHICAL/LEGAL"
"The information literate student understands many of the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and accesses and uses information ethically and legally."
Standard #5 deals with a host of issues that students do need to be aware of. The one issue that the library has invested much time and effort on is plagiarism. To better understand the role the library plays with regard to plagiarism, please consult the following webpages:
Plagiarism Workshop
To schedule a library instruction session on information literacy skills, please contact one of the librarians directly or use the library's Online Request Form.

Three years after its construction, the the 30,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Ashe County Detention Center (ACDC) is paying its own bills, and then some.
In 2012, the Ashe County Jail — its unofficial name — deposited $1,221,648 into the county's general fund, according to Ashe County Sheriff James Williams. For the first three months of 2013, revenues totalled $367,320, putting the jail on track to break $1.4 million this year.
Before completion of the new jail in early 2010, Ashe spent $20,000 to $30,000 per month on incarceration. But, Williams said, "I saw an opportunity to turn the worm around, and now we're making money."
Ashe County Detention Center was part of a $12 million law enforcement complex which broke ground in late 2008.
The jail accounted for more than half that cost, according to Williams. The rest went to the building that houses the Sheriff's Office, State Highway Patrol and Department of Motor Vehicles.
For the past several years, Ashe has averaged an inmate population of about 50, Williams said. With a capacity of 17 in the old jail, the county previously housed 30 or more prisoners at any given time in neighboring county jails at the rate of $40 per inmate per day.
Today, with a 165 inmate capacity, ACDC hosts one hundred or more inmates from other counties at the same rate, he said. In 2011, Alleghany County paid $358,880 to house inmates in Ashe, while Yadkin paid $276,160 and Cabarrus $233,840.
In January, 2012, the N.C. Department of Corrections implemented the State Misdemeanment Confinement Program (MCP) to reduce over-crowding in state prisons, Williams said. Inmates convicted of misdemeanors and sentenced to 91-180 days now serve their time in county jails across the state.
Ashe County Jail has allocated 20 beds for MCP inmates, typically housing 10-12 at a time. To date, MCP money from the state totals $159,496, according to Williams.
The jail also makes money through inmate services, said Jail Administrator Capt. Sharon Price. The commissary, operated by contractor Swanson Foods who pays the jail a percentage, has brought in $59,739 since it opened in November 2011, she said.
Another $51,920 has come from inmate phone service, operated by contractor Paytel, she said. A free email service is also available, but inmates will pay to communicate with family members through video phone kiosks.
"We used to get meals from the hospital, make three trips a day and pay $5 a meal," said Williams. The jail's in-house kitchen has reduced per meal costs to less than one dollar, he said.
All revenue from the jail goes "straight to the general fund," Williams said.
The jail has also benefitted the county through employment, he said, creating 23 full-time and 8-10 part-time jobs.
Price said there are occasionaly dips in Ashe's inmate population when other counties build new jails or additions. Cabarrus County recently completed a new jail, and earlier this month Wilkes broke ground on a new jail with space for 256 inmates slated for completion next summer.
"Every time we lose (inmates from other counties), we think 'that's gonna hurt,' but then another county steps in," she said.

CRESTVIEW — Up by four points with 69 seconds left in the third quarter against District 2-6A rival Niceville on Friday night the Crestview girls basketball was unable to close out the deal.
Employing a frantic full-court press the Eagles forced the Bulldogs into turnover after turnover as they went on a 20-6 run to close out the game.
When the final horn sounded Niceville was celebrating a 47-37 win.
The Bulldogs (1-2, 0-1) were without the services of head coach Kathy Combest, who was absent due to the death of a close friend. But assistant coaches Mike Stewart and Matt Sanders had Crestview in a position to battle for the win until late in the third quarter when the Eagles began turning up the heat.
Neither team was able to gain and early advantage in the first quarter although Crestview did jump in front 7-2 behind four quick points from Jenis Coleman less than three minutes into the first quarter. But with Dani Douglas leading the way Niceville closed out the first quarter on an 8-2 run and led 10-9 after one.
The Eagles (2-1, 1-0) extended the lead to five points in the second quarter as neither team could find the basket with any consistency.
Crestview came out after the half playing its best basketball of the game in the early minutes of the third quarter.
Malia Gandy scored a pair of baskets to lead an 8-0 Bulldog run as Crestview erased the 3-point deficit at the half and moved in front 21-18 with 5:35 left in the third quarter.
The Bulldogs and Eagles traded the lead over the next four minutes before Crestview got scores from Kerrie York and Jasmine Middleton to take a 29-25 lead.
Middleton's second basket of the quarter put Crestview up 31-27 with 1:09 left in the third quarter. The Eagles then turned up the defensive pressure and the young Bulldog team couldn't withstand the heat as they turned the ball over to the Eagles time-after-time and Niceville capitalized with easy baskets.
"They just put a lot of pressure on us," Stewart said. "We are so young that we are still in the teaching stage mode right now. We haven't learned our defense and we are still in our teaching mode.
"They played hard tonight and they played good in spots, but we just had some lapses on defense."
Douglas and Jessi Day were a potent fourth quarter combination for the Eagles as both scored six points in the final period as Niceville rolled to the win.
Day and Douglas shared scoring honors for Niceville with 14 points each.
Coleman led Crestview with 12 points and Arianna Coleman added nine points.

Paul has been engaged in leadership roles and leadership instruction within and beyond the Christian higher education community for over four decades. Much of that time was spent at Briercrest College and Seminary, and after his time here, he served in two churches and later as the R.J. Bernardo Family Chair of Leadership at Tyndale Seminary in Toronto. He has also served the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada in various volunteer roles for over 25 years, most recently as the chairman of their board.
He continues to be passionate about leadership, communication, and executive and ministry coaching that equips, empowers, and enables the next generation's leaders for the church and the marketplace.
Research Interests
I specialize in leadership and read a minimum of one book on leadership each week. I love to distill emerging themes from the literature. I am always in search of what is emerging, why it should be taken seriously, how to help motivate people to be motivated to apply the concepts/processes, equip people to be able to use the concepts/processes to deliver improved results in thinking, living, leading and in having impact of significance. The exponential rate of increase in the quantity and quality of leadership resources necessitates thoughtful advice and coaching on what to read, how to read it and especially how to use the resources with maximum positive results.

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, affects the fatty sheath covering the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This myelin sheath usually insulates nerve fibers, but in MS, this insulation is destroyed, which results in the slowing or blocking of nerve signals. The disease often starts between the ages of 20 and 40 and can eventually cause disability.

35 at 52: Mark Mikel to play 35th anniversary show Nov. 23Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
When Toledo musician Mark Mikel's parents gave him a four-track reel-to-reel machine for his 17th birthday, it was the beginning of a lifelong passion for recording.
"I would write songs and want to hear how it would sound with a band playing it so I'd do the whole thing — guitar, drums, bass, piano, vocals," Mikel, 52, said. "A lot of it was finished so I could get [my bandmates] to like the song so they would want to learn it and perform it."
Thirty-five years later, Mikel is marking the anniversary of that pivotal event by playing his first Toledo-area concert in almost a year. The show is set for 8 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant St.
The show will feature music from Mikel's former bands Marikesh, The Mark Mikel Hallucination and The Pillbugs as well as tunes from his solo projects and current project Dark Ocean Colors.
General admission tickets are $25 and available at www.popcycleisland.com, the Maumee Indoor Theatre box office, RamaLama Records, Culture Clash Records and Heights Guitars.
Mikel said he assembled a group of some of the best musicians he knows to play with him, including guitarist Jeff Kollman, bassist and former bandmate Ian McCormack, keyboardist Bill Hubauer, drummer Brad Babcock, keyboardist/guitarist Zak Freed and the Monclovian 1st Irrational String Quartet. Several other artists will step in for certain songs, Mikel said.
"I'm excited to be playing with the quality of musicians I'll be playing with that night," he said. "These are top-notch guys and I got to hand pick the band."
A self-described "studio hermit," Mikel rarely performs live in Toledo anymore. The Maumee show will be his first and last local show this year. He said he stopped after growing frustrated with the bar scene.
"You want to play for an audience, but they've got televisions on and they are serving dinner, so it's a whole different dynamic," Mikel said. "I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I didn't like the role I was playing and it was keeping me from doing what I really wanted to do with music. I wanted to do my own music and I wanted to make and sell records. I want to play places where people really love music."
Earlier this year, he completed a small solo acoustic tour of the United Kingdom, including a few performances at The Cavern Club in Liverpool.
"The Beatles made that famous," Mikel said. "What cooler place to play could there be? I'm such a Beatles freak, so to go to the town where The Beatles grew up was so cool."
'Yesterday's Window'
Mikel recently released a four-disc digital set of early recordings. The set, called "Yesterday's Window," features songs written from September 1978 to July 1979 and is the first of several planned box sets.
"I have mass amounts of music from over the years that really hasn't seen the light of day," Mikel said. "My first album came out in 1985, so I'm going to keep doing boxes until I reach that point."
Mikel went through all his old reels, transferred them to his computer, cleaned up the tracks and assembled definitive versions from several variations of the same songs.
"You think, 17, it's going to be a bunch of little kid crap on there, but no, it's good stuff," Mikel said. "If it wasn't any good I'd leave it alone, but it's good. They really stand up. Some people might like it better than the stuff I do now because who knows? It's just fun."
Mikel was born and raised in Toledo, graduating from Bowsher High School. As a kid, he wasn't sure if he wanted to be a musician or a cartoonist.
"Then probably around the age of 11, with the purchase of a drum set, that was it," Mikel said. "I was a little more into making music than my friends. They were excited about it and having fun, but I was obsessed with it. I'd want to stay home and stay in my basement and write and record. That was all I wanted to do. I was like a mole person."
Mikel spends nearly every free minute in his studio in Arrowhead Park in Maumee, which is crammed full of instruments and recording equipment, including some of the same equipment he used as a teen.
"I'm very into analog and I try to stay as analog as possible and use vintage equipment," Mikel said.
He is obsessed with the music of the mid-60s to mid-70s, which he calls "the golden period."
"Music was able to live and grow as an art before computers took over," Mikel said. "Today all music sounds the same, but back then music could change sometimes within the same year. You could differentiate between early 1966 and late 1966. I can't tell the difference between 2003 and 2013."
Mikel describes himself as "a perfectionist who hates perfection." One of his earliest inspirations was drummer Micky Dolenz of The Monkees. He also loves The Beatles, The Kinks and The Who.
"Perfect music bores the hell out of me," Mikel said. "It's knowing when to leave the mistakes, knowing when to not fix your off-key notes, knowing when maybe it's not the best executed part, but something feels fun about it. The best rock music — The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Hendrix — they all have rough edges. That's essential for any kind of art."
In May, Mikel and Dark Ocean Colors recording partner Scott Hunt released a new album, "Close Enough to See."
"The biggest thing Mark taught me would be how to finish tunes, how to make it as good as you hoped it would be," Hunt said. "It's the art of listening to the big picture. If you were to strip it apart and only listen to one thing at a time, it might sound shitty, but when you put it all together it sounds great."

wait, this isn't built in? seems like a pretty easy thing no? having to jailbreak your phone just to get something this simple seems pretty ridiculous. am I the only one that thinks so?
Daily Tip: How to manage multiple iPhone email signatures with Mail Enhancer [jailbreak]
Have multiple email accounts on your iPhone and wondering how to get custom signatures for all of them? There's little app in Cydia called Mail Enhancer that allows just that. You can have custom signatures for each individual email address as well as set different sounds for mail within the settings panel. Hit the jump for a quick walk-through!
[$2.99 - Cydia Link]
You won't see an icon for Mail Enhancer on your springboard. You'll have to go into your settings and then you'll find it. Once you're in it, simply toggle it to on. You'll now see a ton of options for customizing and tweaking mail settings further than stock iOS lets you. You can also choose to have Mail Enhancer auto-recognize HTML as well. This is nice if you want to send richer e-mail than just plain text.
If you'd like to use custom sounds for mail, you can use any iOS sound file on your device as well as import your own into iTunes ringtones. (If they don't show up after making them or downloading them, simply re-spring and relaunch Mail Enhancer).
Any signature changes you make via Mail Enhancer will automatically flow through to the default mail app. Simply toggle between your mail accounts and choose the e-mail you'd like to send mail from. The signature will automatically change to whatever you have pre-defined in Mail Enhancer.
This is personally a tweak well worth the $2.99 it goes for in Cydia. If you've tried it out or use it, let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Daily Tip: How to manage multiple iPhone email signatures with Mail Enhancer [jailbreak]
No, you're certainly not the only one. This is something that iOS should have natively, or there should at least be an app available for it.
Unfortunately developers are not allowed to hook into the email app to this level. I have an App on the App Store (MailSig & MailSig Lite) that creates multiple email signatures but I just can't get the hooks into the email app to enable me to offer this functionality so it has to behave as a seperate App with switching.
Maybe iOS 5.0 will offer something.
Foiled again. I click on the site and see this post, and I'm like no way, I didn't know you could do that! Then I read and see "jailbreak." It seems like this site is pushing people to jailbreak. I mean, I'm fine with the jailbreak stuff, just wish it had its own section, rather than teasing us Team Pure folks. I have jailbroken in the past, twice as a matter of fact, and I hated it. I don't plan to do it. I love TiPb, but get tired of getting excited for things that are jailbreak only.
My suggestion is separate sections on the site. That way, those of us who don't want to read the jailbreak BS don't have to, and those who do don't have to sift through other stuff to view it. I would have loved that back when I was looking to jailbreak.
I know, just don't read it if you don't like it, blah blah blah. I just wish it had its own place is all.
Thanks a lot, maybe it's time to jailbreak iPhone...
Agreed, this is one of the main reasons i jb to begin with. I needed to have multiple signatures for different business lines and personal use.
Am I missing something or does it say i can have different notifications per email account? I can't seem to find out how to do that in the program. That would be great as well.
App worked flawlessly for me. Worth the $.
I used it as a pick of the week several weeks back. Never had it's own post
Just purchased it. It is no longer $2.99. It is now $4.99 and even that would be a good price if it worked. I am using iPhone 4 on 4.3.3 firmware and I could not get the app to add signatures to any email. I read the instructions, watched the video, configured the app under settings, and spent several frustrating hours researching. Also, I could not contact the developer from within Cydia because there is no contact information given. I did attempt to contact the developer through twitter though. I will just have to wait and see if I get a response.
Very disappointed. "multiple email signatures" is misleading. It means only having a different signature for different email addresses. There is no ability to choose a different email signature for the one email address depending on the type of recipient (eg. Personal, business).
I use an app called Quick Signature. It works great for this exact purpose and doesn't need to be used on a Jailbroken device.

Several inches are expected to sop the saturated Lowcountry starting Thursday and lasting into early next week.
That's not even the worst of it. The rain is being pulled out of the tropics by a weather front coming across the United States. The front is predicted to stall out when it gets here. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Chantal is forecast to come along behind it all, arriving somewhere in the Southeast on Sunday.
As of this morning Chantal was becoming disorganized as it neared Puerto Rico, but could still yield rain of its own.
"If that storm comes on top of (the front), it could bring its own rain," said meteorologist Bob Bright with the National Weather Service, Charleston. "Two to three inches, locally heavier, especially if we get a tropical storm or hurricane."
Just in time for another summer weekend. Feel better?
"Terrible. We're definitely not looking forward to it," said Ginny Provost, of Blue Waters Commercial Pool Maintenance. The company's pool technicians have scrambled all season backwashing pools brimming with rainwater, adding more chemicals — and dodging lightning. There's no job security working with a 16-foot-long metal pole during a thunderstorm.
"Lightning starts popping, you take cover," Provost said.
Already this year the Lowcountry has been doused with nearly twice as much rain as normal. That's according to the official weather service gauge at Charleston International Airport.
Residents keeping track in spots around Charleston have poured a lot more than that out of their gauges. Rivers are so swollen that the S.C. Department of Natural Resources has cautioned boaters and tubers about getting into the streaming waterways.
The combination of rain, saturated ground and high water spells flood.
The typical flood-prone spots in downtown Charleston will go under if they get a rapid, heavy rain, especially at high tide. Low-lying road stretches and grounds throughout the wetland Lowcountry haven't fully drained from the last rage of downpours. "Fortunately, we've had these several days to dry out a little," said meteorologist Bright.

"We grieve until we don't anymore, but we love forever." by C.B. S.
I have stumbled upon this while reading about grief. And it struck a cord. It is the grief and the love that the wellmeaning people (those who haven't lost a loved one) keep confusing. The grief with its debilitating rawness will eventually subside, but the longing remains, the love is forever. It is not my grief, but the love for my diseased child that makes me talk about him, bake a cake for his birthday, and much more. Unfortunately, it causes people to feel unfomfortable, helpless and speechless at times.

Two women who were allegedly walking around downtown in bathrobes and exposing themselves will not face any charges, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The incident happened on Laurens Street about 10:30 p.m. on Monday, according to a report. The report listed Charles Barranco, director of Aiken Public Safety, as the complainant.
Barranco told officers he saw two females walking on Laurens Street in bathrobes.
"While walking, the two opened their bathrobes, exposing themselves to their surroundings," the report stated. "The complainant stated that it appeared that the females would only expose themselves when they thought no one could see them."
Officers arrived on scene and spoke with the women, ages 20 and 17, according to the report.
"Neither appeared to be intoxicated, however, they did admit to the indecent exposure," the report stated.
The women told officers they were college students, and that they "have never done anything wrong such as drinking and smoking," according to the report. Officers then called the suspects' parents and gave them a verbal warning not to partake in such actions again. They were released to the mother of one of the suspects.

Is anyone on the Internet *really* interested in these Editorial Awards, let alone the one by Mmorpg.com? I mean, we all love threads like "Name the 5 best games of your life" but that's because it allows us to talk about our own loved games at length and discuss likes and dislikes. Editorial Awards are like 1 guy talking about his own "Best games evah!" but nobody can join in.

What? Because they forgot to mention Vanguard?
In my oppinion MMORPG.com staff really hitted it dead on. The awards were justified and well deserved.
Although I would put CCP&White wolf merge as no1 news. Just because it was so unexpected

I prefer the Editorial Awards, because they are more objective and are not subject to thousands of drooling fans skewing the vote. So I guess that means yes someone on the internet actually is interested in hearing the editor's view on which game's desired recognition last year.

I did not check on the awards since I am not interested in them. And since there was no category listed for "Biggest disappointment in the genre yet" I am not surprised that Vanguard was not mentioned.

I think the awards were dead-on.
The EA Mythic story generated the most controversial attention, from "bye bye Mythic" to "hello money."
WAR is easily the most anticipated game, and has won the award on other sites as well.
I can see that Guild Wars got it's reward. I personally think it should have considering it's opposition.
EQ2's expansion EoF definitely should have won best expansion because of the renewed hope it gave people in EQ2 as a good game.
Good choices all around.

You kidding me? They didn't even mention Vanguard for Most anticipated? comon, have they even looked at their own forums, the VG forums are hopping like frogs...screw Warhammer, who needs another WoW just made by different people? lame...

Common Sense - The ultra rare loot with extreme decay.
I think Vanguard could have taken an award if there was a catagory for most contriversial MMO. The Beta sure has stirred up alot of discussion for both possitive and negitive perspectives. It couls have also taken or had a draw for first if there was a catagory for MMO most hated. The game for that they may have had to tie with would be WoW. Even though they have 8 million subscribers there is also a vary vocal bunch who dislike what has given it such huge market appeal.
There truely no way to please everyone. Not even in Awards, editorial or otherwise.

Overall I think it was pretty dead on wish they'd have gone a bit further with it and had a few more awards as well like most innovative, most likely to be canceled, most disappointing, least hyped, least underestimated, and so on. Frankly who wouldn't have guessed Warhammer as most anticipated or EA Mythic as the biggest news story? I don't know completely what to expect from game of the year or expansion of the year, but the awards are certainly justified and in no way a shocking. Guild Wars did have a big year after all and ranked high on the charts all year long with some spikes of course around each of the not one but two expansions it released during the year which are more like standalone games in themselves, but along the lines of those oh so infamous legos where you can mix and match them at will. From the sounds of the EQ2 expansion winning it's category that doesn't seem shocking either given what they mentioned about it. I think guild wars could have taken a notable mention in that category as well since they released 2 expansions during the year that helped fuel that game along in general pretty much all year long.

The saddest is the editorial about burning crusade. The makers of mmorpg.com are obviously on Sony's pay roll.
Oh I know it's horrible that guild wars is on here I mean how dare a massively multiplayer online role playing game being on a mmorpg.com quit whining it's still a mmorpg it's got pve, pvp, questing, crafting, missions, and storyline so explain to me how that isn't a mmorpg?
On top of that it's got some of the best cut scenes in a mmorpg I've played to date a lot of companies skipped them all together which was almost ways a standard part of any good rpg.
It's not as massively multiplayer as it could be at times especially in the case of pve, but it's multiplayer enough in pvp is concerned. On top of that it's a easy mmorpg game to leave off on and jump back into at a later point in time when you feel like because you don't have to any hassle to deal with that you might with the other mmo's like resubscribing and the fees associated with it plus long patches to wait for since it's all streamed in GW.
Sure the game is basically entirely instanced, but who cares the main areas in like almost every new mmo is instanced as well and for good reason it cuts down significantly with lag plus it prevents a lot of problems associated with pve that EQ was notorious for like trying to find a camp having your camp stolen from you or getting to a camp spawn only to find it allready camped by another group or person.
Say what you will about Guild Wars, but they got a lot of things right. It's only main pitfall is it's not massively multiplayer enough for a lot of players especially if they're more into pve. That pitfall aside it's a great game and in a lot of ways the game play itself feels like it's got more rpg traits and aspects to it than most others. I know there's some kinda cheesy things associated with doing the missions like rushed through certain missions from a person sprinting from the start to finish, but you can't do it with every mission and that's always been a feature in about 95% of rpg's that convienant little run away feature that we all abused to a point to get to that next town.
I don't get why people complain about it as if it's a horrible game and downcredit it as not being a mmorpg. It somewhat leads me to be inclined that a lot of the people complaining and saying it sucks or it's not a mmorpg never even played it themselves to begin with. I don't care if they've seen other people play it or not either because playing a game and watching one aren't the same thing at all.
If you really think GW isn't a mmorpg because of the instancing them I guess other games with instancing aren't either and neither are the ones with zones or classes for that matter because UO and Meridian 59 were the mmorpg pioneers and were both persistent worlds and skill based, but that's obviously absurd now isn't it? Get over yourself it's a mmorpg well made and popular regardless of how you feel about it.
I know you never said anything to do with those points in particular, but if id asked how you thought GW wasn't a mmorpg you probably would have mentioned those things to try and discredit the game so I'm merely beating you to the punch by explaining how it is a game and how it is justified as game of the year. If you'd been watching the game rankings during the year you'd realize Guild Wars and each of it's expansions have been at the top of the ranking list at one point or another, but I guess it's still bad to you and not a mmorpg even though clearly plenty of other people would agree it is.

I enjoyed reading the awards. I agree with another poster about more categories though. Then I read the comments. It is funny how some come to bash and admit that they don't care about the awards. This is the same type of person that I have avoided in real life even if the person was a friend of my friends. If you don't care go somewhere else. If you feel that an award was not the right one then talk about it.
I have to say I am still worried about EAMythic. I am glad to see Guild Wars up there. I am really looking forward to seeing Warhammer even though people for some reason keep thinking that a company over 30 years old using their artwork is copying a 16 year old companys' game. I have to say that DAoC is still my favorite game and that Warhammer is my most anticipated. I love Vanguard and am very much awed by it. It is so much fun and so unlike any other game I have played. Still Warhammer is my most anticipated mainly because I know about the minatures and RPG.
Why because they didn't sugar coat burning crusade and praise it just because world of warcraft has the biggest subscriber base?
Everything they stated in there editorial about it was true you can't deny it's got tons of faction grinding plenty of the same old repeated questing patterns from the first time around and quite time consuming if you really stop to look at it just the leveling process from 60 to 70 is equivilent to leveling from 1-50 so it's almost like leveling all over again. I wouldn't be surprized if the epic mounts are also now knowticably harder to get than they were in the beta as well to slow progress down even further again. That's how they game business's tend to work nerf things if they feel are "too easy" or "too powerful" rather than working on and providing more content like they should be doing , but naw it's all about revenue for them keep paying for the same content longer so they don't have to hire more game designers and can pocket more of the money for themselves. I think mmorpg's are getting to the point where if you want a quality team that cares about it's player base your gonna need to go with a indy/underground dev team kinda like in the music industry. I think that's a big part of the appeal of Darkfall you know if or when it's finally released it's by a team of game designers that care about it being successful and succeeding because they're such a small group you know they're taking a big risk trying what they're doing to begin with. It's kinda sink or swim for them which can only be good or horrible for the players only time will tell for sure.
I'm anticipating warhammer as well and am also a little sketched because of the EA involvement even though they claim they're letting mythic really have control over what they do with it you know it's gotta only be true to a certain point I'm sure they'll have they're say as well and what they say will go the majority of the time if they feel strongly about it. Also you gotta keep in mind just because it's somewhat of a franchise in way means it'll turn out good I was excited when I heard star wars, dungeons and dragons, lord of the rings, and others look how they turned out in the sum of things compared to the heavy weight mmorpg's like WoW, EQ, UO, DAOC, EVE, Guild Wars, Ect... I suppose star wars did ok and lord of the rings isn't out at this point, but it's not looking all that exciting either even though graphically it looks like a bit of a beast. Warhammer could just as easily be a bit of a dud well not dud, but overall large disappointment like dungeons and dragons was for a lot of people and like shadowbane was for the hardcore pvp crowd.

(AP) LONDON - The company that owns London's Stansted airport says it is selling it to the Manchester Airports Group for 1.5 billion pounds ($2.38 billion.)
Airport operator Heathrow Airport Holdings, formerly known as BAA, had to sell Stansted and other airports after British competition authorities ruled that it had an unfair market advantage over rival operators.
The Competition Commission in 2009 ordered the operator to sell Stansted, London's third busiest airport. It had already sold airports in Gatwick and Edinburgh.
The deal announced Friday means that Heathrow Airport Holdings will be responsible for just four British airports _ Heathrow, Southampton, Aberdeen and Glasgow _ compared to an original seven it had.
The sale is expected to be completed by the end of February.

Traditionally served as the second course of the meal, after thick and spicy sambars, rasams are generally soupier and thinner, commonly made up of fresh spice powders, tamarind, tomatoes and lemon or lime juice.
I do rely on ground spice powders, with most satisfying results, but honestly, taking the little extra time to roast some seeds and grind them into a paste or powder is well worth the effort. As is the little time involved to fry up the crunchy tempering. As Ms. Padmanabhan reminds us, "Mastery over seasonings can make all the difference."
My version is a thicker rasam that I served for a one course dinner with hot basmati rice, mixed with some of my Tamarind Chutney. On the side, the rich green leaves from the beets, dressed with a small minced shallot, juice from half a lemon, a few splashes of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt and some freshly cracked pepper.
I might add this rasam would be an ideal appetizer too.
Beetroot RasamMore beet goodness:
3 small beets, left whole and unpeeled
a medium lime-sized piece of tamarind
2 tablespoons of jaggery, or brown sugar
1 teaspoon of sea salt
For the Spice Paste:
2 teaspoons of sesame oil
1 heaping tablespoon of coriander seeds
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon of asafoetida powder
6 dry, hot, red chillies
1 heaping tablespoon of coconut
For Tempering:
2 teaspoons of ghee, or a mixture of butter and oil
1 teaspoon of black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 dry red chili, split in half
small handful of dried curry leaves
2 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander leaves
Boil the whole beetroot until tender. Let cool a bit, then peel, transfer to a small bowl and mash. Set aside.
Soak the tamarind in 1 1/2 cups of hot water for 15 minutes. Strain the juice into another bowl, squeezing as much juice out of the tamarind pulp as you can. Discard the pulp and set the tamarind liquid aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the spice paste ingredients, with the exception of the coconut. Stir and fry until the seeds are fragrant - roughly 5 minutes. Add the coconut to the pan, stir and add a few tablespoons of water. Remove from the heat, cool slightly and then grind to a paste. Set aside.
In a medium pot, combine the tamarind juice, jaggery (or brown sugar) and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Now add the mashed beet and spice paste. Add more water if you want a thinner rasam. Simmer, uncovered, for about 5 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For the tempering, heat the ghee (or butter and oil) in a small saucepan over medium heat. When hot add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chili and curry leaves. When the mustard seeds turn grey and begin to pop, pour into the rasam. Stir and cover and let sit for a few minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with coriander leaves.

Riley Quinlan
Next Profile Picture Hometown: Algonquin, Illinois
Major: Global Studies & Political Science
Year in school: Junior
SGA Position: External Vice-President
Why did you decide to run for SGA?
Employers now are more and more requiring some kind of international experience and/or competency of another language. The position I hold entails much communication with the Springfield community, faculty, staff, UI Alumni Association, and the legislature (at all levels). I want to utilize the skills and I experiences I have been fortunate to achieve for the better good of the UIS student body. If UIS could have more study-abroad program options and flexible time-ranges for students, this would not only be of an individual's benefit, but would further enhance the visibility of UIS around the globe.
What are your goals for the upcoming year on SGA?
To see SGA work collaboratively with other organizations promoting campus life. I want a sense of community not only among members of SGA, but with the UIS administration. If the above is accomplished, without a doubt, we will have a successful year.
What other organizations/activities are you involved with at UIS?
I'm an active member in Model Illinois Government, Model United Nations, College Republicans, Alpha Phi Omega National Service-Learning Fraternity, Catholic Student Organization, Amnesty International, and Christian Student Fellowship.
What is your favorite thing about UIS?
I love the location where UIS is since it is in close proximity to the Illinois state capital city. UIS is also a very tight-knit and close community which allows me to build rapport with the student, faculty, and staff.
What are your career aspirations?
Upon graduation from UIS, I am interested in attending graduate school for a Master's Degree in the realm of Public Affairs and Administration. Service has played a unique role in my life and is a field with no limits or end. I enjoy the study of international relations and have considered jobs with the U.S. Department of State in the Foreign Service. It is my dream to someday serve as a member of the U.S. Congress.

Charlie, I love his attitude! You might look at his back legs. The leg closest to us should be down further or he will overbalance. I think the red bull is very appropriate. I am working on his girlfriend Buttercup!
Karen and Charlie thanks for the good words on my soccer boys. Where is everyone??
Jen C & C's always welcome
Jen, this is a wonderful painting of the boys. The colours are superb. Love it.
Charlie, very powerful red bull with lots of character.
Sam, so good to hear from you and that you are finally getting over your surgery. Good luck with your recovery from cataract surgery, I'm sure you will find it much better than before and I hope it won't be long before your back.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Charlie nice job on the powerful red bull
C&Cs always welcome
Hello Jen,
I prefer the penultimate version of the soccer boys simply because it seems more 'boy like' to me...I can't explain it any better than that...perhaps because I am more used to seeing muddier footballers!!!!
Hello Charlie.......Red Bull is a potent beer over here (or so I am told by the adverts on TV!)
yours looks as if he is weighing up his chances.....I wonder what he is looking at? I like the way you have used the brush strokes to show the contours of the bull. Bully for you.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Jen, thank you for your comments. Unfortunately he is now on Ohio with my daughter. This work was a present for her. We had a red china bull that she liked as a little girt but it got broken so I painted this for her.
Bonnie, Karen and Sarah, thank you.
Charlie Gunn
C&C welcomed
http://www.facebook.com/CharlieGunnArtist My Art Work
Bonnie, thanks. Sarah, perhaps it hadn't rained in a while and the pitch was dry! So no mud! :)
Well today I did this little quickie of the lovely buttercup. 5x7 oil on canvas board. She's very wet so all the colours are a bit light.
Great job Jen. He looks so relaxed just watching us. Nice brushwork.
Hello Jen...agree again with Karen's comments
Jen, you did such a nice job of buttercup. You captured the relaxed pose and the sun in the buttercups. It takes me back to that warm sunny day.
In a hurry so hope this will scan ok.
Loosely based on the crayfish ref.photo. Watercolour, 8" x 6". I actually prefer it viewed rotated upside down......looks like a landscape to me!!!
Jen, beautiful job on Buttercup.
Sarah, also a beautiful job on your crayfish.
C&c are welcome! Love what you do.
Love who you are. Love nature. Love art.
Thank you Karen, Bonnie, Sarah and Charlie.
Sarah, nice work on the crayfish . Good job on making the water around him.
Thunk, I am glad you found time for these delightful sketches. Hope the exams are not making you too crazy!
Hello Thunk,
lively sketches...especially like the puffin

Hard2Overcome Wins the Able Cup Charity Event in Melbourne, Australia.
Wednesday, November 13th, 2013
I'm Nathan McDonnell and I play for Sydney Explicit in the Australian Super 7s Series.
Last month I was invited to go to Melbourne and play for Hard2Overcome (another Dye sponsored team) in the Able Cup – a race to four event hosted by the
Adrenalin Paintball Club. The Able Cup was different from any event I have played in before, as its aim was to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation. It was very rewarding.
After walking the field Saturday morning and getting our game plan sorted, we were ready to play some paintball. At the end of Saturday's games we had played 8 rounds and were sitting in second position. An okay place to be, but we still had a lot of work to do as there were still 3 rounds to play on Sunday followed by the finals.
Sunday morning saw us face off against the top of the ladder team South East Cartel. After some back and forth points the game ran out of time and ended in a draw. We won the next round, but we did lose out on the last round of the day. At least it was to our sister team H2O Blue. Despite the loss, it was really good for us as it showed us we had a few flaws in our game plan which we sat down an quickly changed.
At the end of prelims the top four teams were:
South East Cartel
The first final of the afternoon was for 3rd an 4th between H2O Blue and Hustle. It was a close match with both teams swapping the lead, but with time running out it ended in a draw so they were sent into a sudden death 1 on 1. Both players had the crowd on edge with a few close calls and great moves and in the end H2O Blue came away with the win and 3rd place.
The Final for 1st and 2nd place was between South East Cartel and my team H2O. I would like to point out that the two times our teams had previously faced off against each other over the weekend, both games ended in a draw.
The game started off strong with the two teams losing players off the break. We did however get the upper hand and took the 1st point.
The 2nd point started off like the 1st with both teams battling for position and after a few gun battles we came away with a 2-0 lead.
The 3rd point didn't go the way we wanted with South East Cartel tearing through the field and bringing the game to 2-1.
The next point though, was a real battle. Both teams dug in and fought for every inch of ground. After a few key moves we got the kills and came away with the point making it 3-1 to us. This gave us a massive confidence boost going into the next point.
The last point started off with us shooting 3 of the Cartel guys off the break and then closing it out quickly to come away with a 4-1 WIN.
Needless to say, we were very pleased!
We would like to thank the guys from South East Cartel for a tough final. You guys made us work for every point. We would also like to thank Paintball Addiction for organising and sponsoring the event. And finally, we would like to thank DYE PRECISION and Devon Stutz for sponsoring our team an giving us an LA Ironmen jersey to raffle off. We ended up raising $1542.10 for the Make a Wish Foundation.
Playing with the H2O guys was great fun and they have an awesome and well bonded team. I am really looking forward to the 2014 season as I have been asked to join the H2O roster and have accepted. With H2O I will be playing the PAVS and Race events in Melbourne (but this doesn't mean I've left behind the Sydney events – I will continue with those also).
Thanks again to Dye Precision for all the support over the years and future.
Shoot, Kill, Win

The Psychology Clinic is a non-profit organization affiliated with the UNCG Psychology Department offering a full range of short-term therapy services for adults, adolescents, and children. Services include
We place an emphasis on training and services that are based on current research, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, behavior management, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The Psychology Clinic is staffed by advanced graduate clinicians in UNCG's APA-approved doctoral program in clinical psychology. Each clinician is closely supervised by a member of the UNCG Clinical faculty, all of whom are Licensed Psychologists in the state of North Carolina. To schedule an initial appointment, call the Clinic at (336) 334-5662 between the hours of 8:30 am and 8:00 pm Monday through Thursday and 8:30 am to 7:00 pm on Fridays.
When calling to schedule an initial appointment, you will be asked to provide general information over the phone about your current concerns and about the services you are seeking. At your first visit, you will be asked to complete paperwork, fill out questionnaires about symptoms you may be experiencing, and meet with one of our clinicians to provide more detailed information about the history of your current concerns. The goal of this first visit is to determine whether the services we offer will address your concerns.
Once you are assigned to a therapist, you will discuss your goals for the evaluation or treatment, and you will be expected to attend appointments at a frequency recommended by your therapist. Clients involved in therapy are typically expected to work on skills outside of the therapy session (i.e., short "homework" assignments). Our empirically-based therapeutic approaches are short-term and collaborative in nature – the therapist and client work together on treatment planning and monitoring progress.
