One of the great parts of "The Switch" is seeing the great Jeff Goldblum work it onscreen in the supremely intelligent rant-mumble he has perfected over the years. It's a screen appearance we don't see enough of, especially with his "Law & Order" television obligations.
Even more amazing, Goldblum, who often revels playing morally dubious characters onscreen (to perfection), insisted on being a moral voice in this film which opened Friday. While audience members wait for Goldblum to work some weasel magic, he just keeps being a good friend and doing the right thing.
"It's so funny," co-director Josh Gordon tells PopcornBiz. "This is the guy holding the moral compass of the movie.""
Bringing Goldblum on board was a little stroke of luck. The filmmakers, shooting in New York City, looked him up on IMDB and noticed Goldblum shoots his "Law and Order" show in New York as well.
They went to visit the set and immediately noticed an entire season of "Arrested Development" DVDs in the dressing room. Considering that they were asking Goldblum to star alongside Jason Bateman (the star of "Arrested Development"), they knew they were in luck.
Bateman is also a big Goldblum fan, saying "he has the kind of career that any actor would dream of." Their onscreen chemistry and banter is undeniable.
One sticking point for the character that Goldblum wanted -- he didn't want his best-friend character to do to the dark side.
"That was important to him, that he wasn't a co-conspirator in the plot of the movie," co-director Will Speck tells us.
Goldblum pulls his part off to perfection with some of his scripted lines and some clear ad-libbing. And playing a decent guy is always a nice switch.

2 seriously injured in Merritt Island apartment fire
Fire leads to downed power lines
Two people were injured in an apartment fire in Merritt Island early Saturday, firefighters said.
Fire officials said the fire in the 900 block of North Tropical Trail started shortly before 3:12 a.m. Saturday. The fire was so large that it prevented firefighters from initially entering the building and took down power lines, making the situation even more dangerous.
Florida Power and Light turned off power to the area for about 30 minutes while firefighters put out the fire.
Two residents of one apartment were flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center with serious burn injuries.
Another resident declined transportation to a hospital. Their condition was unknown.
Brevard County Fire-Rescue spokesman Lt. Jeff Taylor said the two apartments burned in the incident were a complete loss.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

To my knowledge the only fullHD webcams available are external ones—so Samsung's CMOS sensors could prove a hit for people not wanting to fork out extra for a webcam. True, you'd have to buy a Samsung laptop though...
The CMOS sensors, by the name of S5K6A1 and S5K5B3, can both record 1080p video at 30fps, with the first model shooting on a 1.3MP sensor and the latter model a 2.1MP sensor. The ability to decrease resolution is included, for moments when your internet speed isn't up to par, and the 2.1MP sensor also has an EDoF, or enhanced depth of field function, for recording business cards so it can be translated into text.
You won't see them in laptops until later this year, however—but if Samsung laptops float your boat, it may be worth jotting those sensor names down and asking when it's time to upgrade if the new shiny model has one of the upgraded webcams in it. [SlashGear]
UPDATE: True, the 1.3MP sensor will likely rely on upscaling to get to that 1080p claim. Not recommended, obviously.

About Bachelor Gulch
Grand homes with exquisite mountain architecture featuring massive logs and rustic stonework make up the unmistakable sense of place found in Bachelor Gulch. Gated entrances offer an extra level of exclusivity, and there's not a single property that doesn't feature impressive views of the valley below and the jagged peaks of the Gore Mountain Range and Castle Peak in the distance. Bachelor Gulch has its own ski slopes, with a chairlift that serves the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch, and trails that provide a village-to-village ski experience from Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch to Arrowhead. There's also a gondola connection to the Westin Riverfront in Avon at the base of Bachelor Gulch. It's the only residential ski neighborhood considered entirely on-mountain in the Vail Valley. While the Bachelor Gulch ski trails are part of Beaver Creek Resort, they feel much more private and less traveled. It's easy for residents to head out for a few runs without a lot of fuss getting in and out of the resort. Ski trails offer excellent hiking and biking during the summer and fall months, and the pristine golf club in neighboring Beaver Creek features challenging holes and expansive views to round out summertime fun. Bachelor Gulch is perfect for the buyer looking for privacy and luxury. Bachelor Gulch real estate is mostly known for high-end single-family homes, but luxury condominiums and fractional units are available through the residence club at the Ritz-Carlton® Bachelor Gulch.

It's always nice to see traditional medical research catch up to what we've been saying for years: CoQ10 is good for the heart. Ubiquinol CoQ10 always has and always will be something we strongly recommend, especially for people fighting heart disease.
According to a recent clinical study conducted in Taiwan, CoQ10 boosts your heart's natural antioxidant defenses. Again, this isn't surprising to us, but it's always nice to see fresh clinical evidence that supports a potentially lifesaving claim.
CoQ10 Reduces Oxidative Stress in Patients with AtherosclerosisFollowing a placebo-controlled trial, researchers from Taiwan concluded that a daily CoQ10 dose of 150 mg is associated with a 29% drop in a dangerous marker of oxidative stress called malondialdehyde (MDA). MDA has been implicated in cardiovascular disease, specifically in the progression of atherosclerosis.
In the study, the researchers recruited 51 people with known coronary heart disease and randomized them into two groups: a group receiving either 60 mg or 150 mg/day of CoQ10 and a placebo group. The participants were followed for 12 weeks.
At eight weeks, MDA levels decreased significantly in this group when compared to the placebo group. After 12 weeks, the group receiving the higher dose increased CoQ10 blood levels by 189%. The researchers also observed increases in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, two powerful human antioxidants.
The authors from Chung Shan Medical University concluded, "We believe a higher dose of CoQ10 supplements (greater than 150 mg/day) might provide rapid and sustainable antioxidant [protection] in patients with coronary heart disease."1
Is CoQ10 a Vitamin?
However, CoQ10 is not classified as a vitamin because your own body makes it. A true vitamin, like vitamin C, only comes from your diet. A nutrient that you have to get from your diet is called "essential." CoQ10 is NOT an essential nutrient; hence, technically speaking, it's not a vitamin.
Regardless of how you want to classify it, CoQ10 certainly is a foundational supplement — and this latest study further confirms that. We've been promoting CoQ10 at higher doses for a longtime now, and it's nice to have our position supported by solid clinical science.
How to Build a Healthy Heart RegimenThe three nutritional goals for a healthy heart should be this: to optimize energy production, support heart muscle strength, and protect arteries. So, let's look at our suggestions for meeting these three goals.
1. Optimize Energy Production – this is where CoQ10 comes into play. As mentioned above, CoQ10 is an enzyme cofactor for cell energy production. We suggest supplementing with 200 mg/day of the more absorbable ubiquinol form. Additionally, you might consider adding shilajit extract to your CoQ10 supplement, as this amazing adaptogen helps to deliver more CoQ10 to the mitochondria.
2. Support Heart Muscle Strength – to accomplish this goal we suggest nutrients like L-carnitine, magnesium and D-ribose.
3. Protect Your Arteries – specifically we want to protect the inside lining of arteries called the endothelium. Our favorite suggestions for this goal include pomegranate, resveratrol, and SOD.

It's not what you think. Clutter isn't just about things filling your house. It's about your mind, your hard drives — much more!
Regarding conventional clutter, I have a humongous pile of unread Register Stars cluttering my bedroom. My excuse: I haven't "had the time" to read them, but I need to. Of course "having the time" isn't really about having the time. It's about priorities — always a choice of what to do now. So I don't throw them out. I'll catch up later.
My DVR is 94 percent full because of 64 unwatched, one-hour episodes of Charlie Rose and 10 of "Moyers and Company." I haven't "had the time" to watch them, but I need to because they are great interviews. But they are cluttering up my DVR! If you haven't watched Charlie or Bill, check them out. (Fareed Zakaria's "My Take" amazes me every Sunday. I watch him immediately, then delete his show.)
My life is so full. People come. We talk. They pay me. I love doing it. We all benefit. It's how I earn a living.
And yet, I spend more time without being paid at meetings and events I value: Transform Rockford, NAACP, "Peace and Nonviolence" at Fairgrounds, church gatherings, "Sacred Path" at Dick and Ann Rundall's home, mental health and human services advocacy groups, Parker Woods Community Association, and groups working to save the environment and the world.
My passions are clear — to promote connection and community, greater equity, and to preserve our world, convincing fossil fuel companies to decide to change their business plans, to give up further exploration and development of mining and extraction of fuels that, when it's all burned, would destroy life as we know it many times over. Their business plans are suicidal.
I work to convince them to change priorities — research and develop solar-, wind-, tide-, geothermal-, and algae-based bio-fuel technology and promote well-insulated buildings. I really get it. I want them to choose survival over short-term profit for stockholders, going for greater long-term profit. It's a growing movement.
Back at home, I stay awake past bedtime watching Charlie Rose and Bill Moyers' fascinating conversations, deleting them to free up my DVR. I watch the beginning.
"I'll just delete this now," but I can't! I need to watch the whole thing. But I need sleep. Unwatched videos accumulate. Clutter.
Charlie's the worst. Five hours a week. Amazing interviews. So much to learn. I discovered him on "CBS This Morning." Now my DVR automatically records his PBS shows. These shows can't be sped up. I skip through commercials, on other shows, condensing viewing time to half. I can't do that with Moyers or Rose. I can't fast-forward through it, like I do on CNN, which has a label on the screen naming the current topic so I can pick and choose.
I'm frustrated that DVR-makers ignore technology. My ancient Sony Betamax can be played at double speed, processing speech. It's fast yet understandable, not high-pitched like chipmunks. Tivo's double speed playback is silent, yet it shows the closed-captioning. Comcast's DVRs don't even do that!
I only have so much time in my life, and I want to experience, learn and do so much. The technology is there. Why aren't DVR makers offering double-speed playback that's easily understandable? Sony did it 30 years ago. We need a more efficient way to experience and learn more in less time.
Don't get me started about books and magazines! Amazon's used books for a penny tempt me too often. Does "photoreading" actually work? I'd like to know.

Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien is looking forward to the end of the NHL lockout.
He managed to have a little fun Sunday when he served as a guest coach for a youth team that won a charity raffle for his services. He was on the bench for Winthrop's 3-2 victory over Watertown.
Julien addressed the team made up of 8- and 9-year-olds before and after the game. He also met with the other team and signed autographs for as long as it took for everyone to get items signed.
Julien is anxious to return to his job and says "the people that are involved in those negotiations want the same thing as well."

Weather Blog: Clippers And Arctic Air
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! If you think temperatures are cold now, just wait until you see what's lurking in the forecast! In today's blog we discuss several clipper systems that arrive this week, and look ahead to an arctic blast that may hit the Midwest.
Let's start with a stat some may find a little surprising. A comparison of this season's snowfall total to date with last winter's through the same time period. The totals are measured at Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee.
2012-2013 Snowfall Thru Jan 14: 7.1"
2011-2012 Snowfall Thru Jan 14: 8.7"
Despite a nearly 2" precipitation surplus since December 1, this season has once again been plagued by above average temperatures. The mild weather so far has kept snow totals below average and below last winter's total to date.
Several snow chances are in the forecast this week, mainly in the form of flurries or snow showers. Clipper systems will start racing through the fast northern flow of the jet stream by mid-week. A clipper is an area of low pressure that originates in Canada, is fast moving, and often moisture starved. Clippers generally bring light snow to southeast Wisconsin.
The first clipper will slide through on Wednesday. The center of low pressure will stay well to the north of Milwaukee. A few snow showers or flurries will be possible with this first system along with breezy conditions.
As each clipper approaches expect a quick bump up in temperatures, and then a drop as the cold front swings through.
A potentially strong clipper may arrive later this weekend or early next week. Along with a chance of light snow, an arctic cold front may push through the Midwest.
The GFS 500mb(middle of the atmosphere) forecast map below is valid Tuesday, January 22 at 12am. The map below shows a large upper level low pressure area over much of Canada and the central/eastern U.S. This upper low is associated with an arctic airmass.
If the forecast plays out close to the map above this would lead to the coldest weather of the season. Just how cold? The answer hinges a little on if we pick up 1"-2" of snow before the cold hits. If snow is on the ground, daytime highs could be stuck in the 0 to 7 degree range. If no snow or trace amounts are present then 8 to 15 degree highs. Sometimes models overdue cold airmasses in the long term, but many medium range models continue to point toward some of the coldest weather we've seen in a while.
The coldest temperatures from this arctic plunge would likely arrive Jan 20-22.
The GFS computer model temperature forecast below is valid at 6pm Tuesday, January 22. This map has temperatures near 0 in southeast Wisconsin. Notice the -10 to -20 readings in Minnesota!
This is still 7-8 days out, but signs continue to point toward a cold airmass leading into the final week of January. If you have been waiting for ice to thicken for fishing or looking to freeze an ice hockey pond this may be the weather you've been wishing for! For others, get ready for your furnace to work overtime.

Have a great day!

Vserv.mobi Energizes Indian Mobile App Development Ecosystem
14 Dec, 2012, 05:00 GMT
HYDERABAD and MUMBAI, December 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Announces Cash Prize of Rs. 1 Lakh for Hackathon Session at AppFest 2012, Hyderabad
Vserv.mobi, a leading Global Mobile Ad network, reiterated its commitment to energise the developer ecosystem by announcing a cash prize of Rs. 100,000 for the winner of the Hackathon session at India's first IAMAI AppFest event scheduled from 13-15th December 2012. Representing one of the tracks for AppFest 2012, Hackathon is a team based coding marathon running over 24 hrs. to create an app based on a specific idea.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120725/546333)
Commenting on the event, Binay Tiwari, Head - Global Marketing, Vserv.mobi said, "Vserv.mobi is commited to pushing forward the mobile internet ecosystem by enabling powerful monetization for App Developers. We have tirelessly worked to demonstrate the monetization opportunity on mobile - including initiatives such as 'Developer of the Week', which showcases success stories of our developer partners across the world. With our AppFest Hackathon cash prize initiative, we want to bring together the App Developer community in India and encourage their efforts to trigger the next round of innovation. Over the next year we will further expand this initiative to our other global geographies."
A Gartner report suggests that the Indian mobile apps market is pegged at nearly Rs. 750 crore ($150 million) with a steady growth in downloads across various platforms. Other reports suggest that India has the third largest base of developers in the world, after the US and China. In this context, the mobile developer community needs to follow ingenious monetization strategies that are based on the realities of Indian app consumption patterns to drive greater downloads.
Since its inception, Vserv.mobi has built solutions by leveraging its solid understanding of emerging markets and mapping it to the monetization challenges of developers in emerging markets like India. Typically, developers enable ads on their apps through the traditional way of integrating an SDK, which is a tedious process that requires significant source code changes and even app layout changes. Also to enable other forms of monetisation such as paid in-app purchases, the developer has to integrate additional SDKs. The company's flagship AppWrapper technology dramatically simplifies this and enables comprehensive app monetization in just one click, without any coding. In July this year, the company created a unique variant of the AppWrapper platform in the form of Paid Monetization models. This makes Vserv.mobi the first and only company to offer comprehensive App monetization in One Click, across both - micro-transaction based paid models and premium advertising based monetization - to create a compelling App monetization approach for developers.
Resultantly, the company has enabled developers across metros and smaller towns of India to earn money from both feature phone and smartphone apps. Having monetized over 10,000 Apps, developers are earning unprecedented global revenues powered by Vserv.mobi AppWrapper. A case in point is Twist Mobile, an Indore-based mobile app development company that has seen tremendous growth in it's global revenues powered by AppWrapper and recently got Series A funding as well. Another example is VenkatRamanan Ramasubramanian, a student developer from Trichy, who reportedly was earning 15 times than his job salary, from App revenues powered by the AppWrapper.
Organized under the aegis of IAMAI, AppFest is a first of its kind forum for all stakeholders in the Indian apps economy. AppFest 2012 will have three tracks - Talkathon, Hackathon and Challengathon. Developers will be able to share ideas on technology, revenue models and current opportunities with each other. It will also provide an opportunity to participants to compete and create on-spot customised solutions for brands present and immediate opportunity to work with them on larger projects.
About Vserv.mobi
Vserv.mobi is a leading Global Mobile Ad Network with strong presence in emerging markets. Vserv's pioneering technology AppWrapper powers One Click App Monetization for 10000+ Apps across platforms. AppWrapper is the World's Simplest App Monetization - it enables premium advertising and innovative pricing models on any app, without coding, in just one click. Vserv is the only Ad Network with App media across feature phones, smart phones and tablets, thus providing advertisers unparalleled reach and engagement.

Yahoo lambasted over using outdated Java with SiteBuilder
- 13 February, 2013 00:49
Yahoo has come under severe criticism by security experts decrying its practice of steering small businesses to a Web site-building tool that uses an insecure 2008 version of Java.
Businesses signing up for Yahoo's Web hosting service are directed to SiteBuilder, a free Web-based tool for building basic sites for e-commerce. SiteBuilder provides a simple point-and-click development environment that requires Java.
The security of sites built with the tool is compromised because Yahoo deploys the out-of-date Java 6 Update 7, KrebsonSecurity reported. Java steward Oracle recently released two new versions, Java 6 Update 39 and Java 7 Update 13.
"It is shockingly irresponsible to be distributing old versions of Java, let alone 4-year-old versions," said Chester Wisniewski, a senior security adviser for Sophos. "I am not sure how it could happen, other than Yahoo must have thought it was a good idea to host its own copy of Java for users of its SiteBuilder service."
Yahoo has yet to explain why it is leaving small businesses open to attack from hackers. The Web portal did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Because of its age, the version of Java deployed with SiteBuilder contains hundreds of known vulnerabilities that have been patched over the years. The use of the older technology has security experts calling on Yahoo to make fixing the problem its highest priority.
[Also see: Oracle's Java security update lacking, say experts]
"Yahoo should immediately inform their users of the serious security problems their software has introduced to their systems and offer an estimate on when the fix will be available, as well as some interim mitigation advice," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle. "In light of the potential harm their users are exposed to, this seems like the very least they can do."
Experts believe it is possible SiteBuilder requires an out-of-date copy of Java to operate. Storms points out that the help section advises users to install an older version of Java, advice he says is "just plain dangerous."
Wisniewski agrees that Yahoo's approach is unacceptable. "They should update their code to be compatible with the latest releases from Oracle," he said.
Cybercriminals target Java more than any other Web technology. That's because Oracle is slow in patching the platform used in running Java applications and because people often fail to keep the Java plug-in in Web browsers up-to-date.
Studies have shown that the majority of installations are outdated, leaving computers open to infection through drive-by downloads on compromised websites.

Juninho's spectacular goals have made him a new threat in an already-packed lineup, and he made his presence known with two massive strikes—the above his second of the evening, though his first, below, was nothing to sneeze at. In all, it brings his goal total on the MLS season to seven, tying him with a gent named David Beckham.

WALTHAM, Mass.- The Brandeis University women's basketball team could not complete a late rally in a close Brandeis Invitational championship game against the Colby College Mules (2-0) at Red Auerbach Arena. A last gasp 3-pointer from senior guard Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomperaug) clanged off the rim as time expired and the Judges (1-1) fell 70-67.
The tightly contested game was decided by numerous scoring tears from both sides. In the first half, after the Mules' sophomore guard Carylanne Wolfington (Hallowell, Maine/Hall-Dale) cut the Judges' lead to 8-7 with a layup, Brandeis embarked on a 13-6 run over the next six minutes to take a commanding 21-13 advantage. Brandeis' sophomore guard Niki Laskaris (Swampscott, Mass./Swampscott) was a big part of that scoring spurt netting nine points during the run and 14 for the half. Still, Colby did not back down easily and closed the period on an impressive 20-4 streak that featured four trifectas including two from rookie guard Caitlyn Nolan (Barrington, R.I./Barrington) as they entered the break leading 33-25.
In the second half, trailing 40-31 with 17:29 to play, the Judges mounted their comeback. Behind a stifling full court press Brandeis forced four turnovers in just over three minutes and found itself ahead 41-40 after a layup by sophomore forward Tori Dobson (Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) at the 14:22 mark. From that point on, the largest lead either team would hold was four points, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion.
With 6:14 remaining in the game, rookie guard Paris Hodges (Southampton, N.Y./Southampton) sunk a midrange jumper to give the Judges their biggest lead of the half at 55-51. A back-and-forth battle would ensue as the Mules flipped the script, rattling off eight straight points to take a 59-55 lead on a pair of free throws from sophomore guard Desi Smith (Watertown, Wis./Watertown) with 4:28 to go. Dean staged her own mini-comeback converting consecutive lay ups to knot it up at 59-59. After Colby's sophomore guard Mia Diplock (Vienna, Maine/Cony) converted one of two from the charity stripe, Dobson came right back with a layup that would give Brandeis their final lead of the game, 61-60.
The next two offensive possessions for the Mules were back breakers as Nolan and then senior guard Jen Nale (Waterville, Maine/Waterville) drained back-to-back triples to give them a 66-63 lead. The last two minutes of the game saw a quick foul and attack the rim strategy from the Judges keep it close but it would be Nale sinking two more from the charity strip with three seconds left that clinched the 70-67 victory for Colby.
Brandeis was led by Laskaris who came off the bench to score a game-high and career-high 21 points after not playing in the opener. Senior forward Nicolina Vitale (Clinton Township, Mich./Chippewa Valley) had another big game, notching a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds including eight on the offensive class. Hodges barely missed a double-double with nine points and 11 caroms. Sophomore Heather Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester) led all players with three steals.
The Mules were paced by Nale who finished with 16 points including a game-high three 3-pointers. Three more Colby players joined Nale in double-digits as Smith had 15, Nolan had 12, and Diplock had 11. Senior guard Gabe Donahue (Cape Elizabeth, Maine/Cape Elizabeth) led the squad with 10 rebounds while Diplock had a game-high four assists.
In the consolation game earlier in the afternoon, the Eastern Nazarene Lions and Mount Ida Mustangs played in a low-scoring defensive battle. The Lions were held to 30.6% shooting from the field while the Mustangs were not much better at 32.8%. Both squads especially struggled from beyond the arc where they went a combined 2-for-21. In the end it was Eastern Nazarene's smothering defense that forced 35 turnovers and secured a 52-46 victory.
Rookie guard Nicole Greer (Odenton, Md./Arundel) came off the bench to lead a trio of Lions in double-figures with 13 points. Junior forward Michelle Herrera (Santa Barbara, Calif./Santa Ynez) had 11 points while classmate forward Lucy Santos (Vallejo, Calif./Hogan) scored 10 points to go with six rebounds. Sophomore guard Tyshay Montgomery (Woodlawn, Md./Western Tech) led the squad with eight rebounds and swiped a game-high six steals.
For the Mustangs, rookie center Angelique Martinez (Taunton, Mass./Taunton) dominated in the paint with game-highs of 16 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double. Martinez also had five steals and four blocks for the game. Junior forward Jenn Rafuse (Brockton, Mass./Brockton) finished tied for the team lead after pulling down 11 boards.
At the conclusion of the championship game, the All-Tournament team was named including senior guard Abbey Fedigan (New Fairfield, Conn./New Fairfield) from Mount Ida, Herrera from Eastern Nazarene, Diplock from Colby, and Hodges and Vitale from Brandeis. The tournament's Most Valuable Player award was given to Nale from Colby who averaged 18.5 points over her team's two victories.
The Judges continue their season at home against Roger Williams with a 7:00 p.m. tip-off on Tuesday November 19th.

I figured I would do something simple for you guys to learn from since everything I've uploaded in the past few days have been a bit complex but not too bad. I will show you "how to draw a dead tree", step by step. Drawing trees, can either be a complex task, or a very simple, and easy task. It all depends on how, and what type of tree you wish to draw. I for one like drawing simple style trees, and once in a while I will go ahead and try to sketch out a realistic tree like a weeping willow. So far, I haven't had any luck with sketching a nice enough realistic tree to submit it as a lesson. But whatever, I still do my best with creating new, innovative drawing that I turn into helpful tutorials for all to learn from. Anyway, I think you should enjoy learning "how to draw a dead tree", step by step. I will be back with more drawing fun, so stay tuned in to see what I have in store for you next. Peace out peeps, and have a fun and happy drawing day.

Configure app signing from the command-line
The following steps help you configure your computer to sign apps. You should perform these steps only once.
For information about configuring app signing using the QNX Momentics IDE, see Launch the Deployment Setup Wizard in the Getting Started Guide.
You can find blackberry-signer and blackberry-keytool in the bin subfolder where you installed the BlackBerry Native SDK for Tablet OS for the BlackBerry Tablet OS.
Before you begin:
- Request permission to sign apps by completing the web form at http://developer.blackberry.com/playbook/native/signingkey . After your application is accepted, you receive a CSJ registration file by email.
- If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, you must specify additional command line options to contact the RIM Signing Authority. For more information about using a proxy server from the command line, see Using a proxy server from the command line.
Register with the RIM Signing Authority using your CSJ registration file for application signing by using the blackberry-signer tool. You need to specify a keystore password in the -storepass parameter, as well as the registration PIN you entered in the PIN field on the web form when you requested permission to sign applications. You can also configure your computer to create debug tokens at the same time, by including the debug token CSJ file in the blackberry-signer command as follows:
blackberry-signer -register -csjpin PIN -storepass KeystorePassword AppSigningCSJFile DebugTokenCSJFile
After you finish:
If you received your signing keys before August 9, 2011, you must manually create a Developer Certificate by using the blackberry-keytool tool. Ensure that the common name (company name) parameter matches the author element in your bar-descriptor.xml file. For more information about creating a bar-descriptor.xml file, see "Set capabilities for bar-descriptor.xml" in the IDE User's Guide.
The following command creates a Developer Certificate, and the password you specify in the -storepass parameter allows you to use the .p12 file to sign BAR files. You should protect the .p12 file and its password.
blackberry-keytool -genkeypair -storepass <storepass> -dname "cn=<company_name>"

Student Support
At the heart of Kristin's values is a belief that the best education does more than simply instil knowledge in the minds of students. By nurturing the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of our students at Kristin we enable them to grow and develop to their potential, while offering support in a safe and positive environment.
Because the needs of our students differ between the age groups, each school is structured in a way to best support the needs of its students. In the Senior School this structure is evident in the Senior Leadership team where the Deputy and Assistant Principals oversee NCEA, IB and Tertiary Futures. Monitoring, advice and guidance for seniors is co-ordinated by the four House Deans.
Senior students are encouraged to develop the skills necessary to become independent learners. However, they still require pastoral support throughout their senior studies and our four House Deans offer this. These skilled and experienced teachers oversee the well-being of students in their House and are the first point of contact for students and parents should concerns arise about any aspect of senior schooling. As students progress through the Senior School they remain with their House Dean, providing stability, familiarity and consistency throughout their three years in the school.
While in Year 10 all students will meet with their Senior School Dean in preparation for entering into Year 11. This handover helps students with the transition to the Senior School and their subject choices.
Wellness Centre
Kristin offers a purpose-built Wellness Centre that encompasses health, counselling, chaplaincy and attendance. The Well-Being team works in collaboration with students, staff and parents to enhance well-being at Kristin. We aim to create and maintain an environment where individuals can flourish and achieve their full potential.
ICT Helpzone
An important branch of Information Services at Krisitn, our skilled and helpful ICT team is available to support students with queries relating to our Digital Learning Programme and BYO devices. ICT Services is located on the first floor of the Library Information Centre (LIC). Whilst on campus, students can visit during the school day. During Term Breaks, visits are welcome however appointments are necessary.
Opening Hours: Monday-Friday (during term time), 8am-4.30pm
09 415 9566 Ext 2414
International Student Support Services
In addition to general support, the Deans and the International Services team work closely together to ensure all International Students feel welcome at Kristin. Student Visa holders can expect the following assistance from the International Services team:
- Orientation guidance
- First Language assistance
- Home-stay selection and monitoring
- Visa renewal advice
- Student progress interviews
- Parent/guardian communications
International Students at Kristin >>
Four Houses encompass all students and teachers at Kristin and form a significant part of the Kristin culture. The House spirit is most evident at school events such as Athletics, Swimming Sports and House Music.
Apollo – Blue
Jupiter – Red
Mariner – Green
Saturn – Yellow
From the point of enrolment, students remain in the same house throughout their time at the school. Where possible students are enrolled in the same House as their siblings/parents when a family history exists.

HOKA cut its teeth so to speak on the trails, providing an uber-protective experience for ultras over rough terrain. But the core technology is steadily advancing to offer a wider range of runners an accessible entry point for running both on trails and roads.
For Fall 2013, HOKA also has a new model built just for the ladies. The Kailua is designed as a lower (relatively speaking, of course), lighter performance shoe in the HOKA lineup of supremely cushioned shoes. The HOKA Kailua Tarmac and HOKA Kailua Trail still provide ample cushioning, with reduced weights compared to a typical HOKA shoe.
HereвҖҷs your current HOKA lineup, from most streamlined to most protective:
Kailua вҖ" This light, lower option is the most firm HOKA and delivers a nimble ride. Available in both Tarmac (road) and Trail versions.
Bondi 2 вҖ" This is a road-specific model with a wider fit compared to the Kailua and a more plush feel.
Stinson вҖ" Available in Trail and Tarmac versions like the Kailua, the Stinson offers a secure fit and is loaded with impact protection.
Mafate 3 вҖ" This one might as well be called the Big Papa of Pillow. This beefy little guy will get you over pretty much anything in your path.
More about the New Kailua
The HOKA Kailua Trail is a cushioned trail shoe thatвҖҷs still nimble enough to tackle diverse terrain. The shoe has a significant amount of EVA foam in the midsole to absorb shock, and the rockered midsole design delivers a quick and responsive transition. The outsole lugs (shaped like the Hoka bird logo) provide grip in loose terrain on the way uphill and provide braking traction downhill. But the platform isnвҖҷt the whole story. A breathable upper allows great ventilation to help keep your feet cool on warmer days.
The HOKA Kailua Tarmac is a versatile road shoe that can handle long mileage or shorter outings. The midsole cushioning offers excellent shock absorption, but the shoe still feels nimble and quick. HOKA put lightweight, high-abrasion rubber in key wear areas on the outsole to help increase durability on paved surfaces. The Kailua Tarmac uses the same midsole as the Trail version, with a unique, smoother lugged outsole and very slight changes to the upper.

How to Change the Date & Time Setting on Your iPhone
With the Date & Time setting on your iPhone, you can have the iPhone set the time automatically, using the time reported by the cellular network (and adjusted for your time zone).
In your neck of the woods, the time is probably reported as 11:32 PM (or whatever time it happens to be). But in some circles, it's reported as 23:32. If you prefer the latter format on the iPhone's status bar, tap the 24-Hour Time setting (under Date & Time) to turn on the setting.
If you've turned off the option to set the time automatically, you're asked to select the time zone and then set the date and time manually. Here's how:
Tap Set Automatically so that it's off.
You see fields for setting the time zone and the date and time.
Tap the Time Zone field.
The current time zone and virtual keyboard are shown.
Tap out the letters of the city or country whose time zone you want to enter until the one you have in mind appears. Then tap the name of that city or country.
The Time Zone field is automatically filled in for that city.
Tap the Set Date & Time field so that the time is shown. Then roll the bicycle-lock-like controls until the proper time is displayed.
Tap the date shown so that the bicycle-lock-like controls pop up for the date. Then roll the wheels for the month, day, and year until the correct date appears.
Tap the Date & Time button to return to the main Date & Time settings screen.

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library staff.
Book: Desire of the Everlasting Hills: The World Before and After Jesus by Thomas Cahill
Recommended by: Joseph, Adult Nonfiction Librarian
This book is an interesting look at the cultures, people, languages, and events that shaped the world around Jesus. From the influence of Alexander the Great and the Greeks on the Jews to the personalities and writing styles of Jesus's early followers, many intriguing influences are discussed. While not comprehensive, Cahill's mostly-secular work is both engaging and accessible.

As a kid growing up in Plymouth, Stacy Poitras could hardly have predicted he'd someday be on television — wielding a chain saw.
But as the star of CMT's noisy new reality show, "Chainsaw Gang," that's what Poitras is doing. On the show, which airs on Saturday, the South Shore native (and former School of the Museum of Fine Arts student) leads a ragtag crew of the country's premiere chain saw artists.
With the precision of surgeons, they sculpt figures from wood, all the while being careful not to kill themselves. (Poitras once had the blade of a saw snap and whiplash around his waist "like a bullwhip with nails.")
The owner of a Malibu-based company called Deadwood Tree Sculptures, Poitras told us his aptitude for art was evident early on. In second grade, he says, he drew a picture of a dinosaur that caught the eye of a classmate.
"The kid said he'd give me his lunch money for it, which back then was 25 cents," says Poitras, 45.
Fast forward several years. He was in Brockton one day and watched a guy use a chain saw to transform a log into a bear. Poitras was hooked. Today, his detailed creations sell for as much as $20,000.
When he's not busy with the show, Poitras is planning his wedding to actress/director Alison Eastwood, daughter of "Dirty Harry" himself, Clint Eastwood.
"I asked him for her hand in marriage, and he just glared at me and said, 'You're gonna need to take that up with her,' " Poitras says. "I asked if that was a yes or no, and he said, 'That's a yes, son.' "

How To: Create a Ruffled Onesie
How to turn a thin utilitarian onesie into an adorable little mini-dress!
First, gather your materials:
Your victim onesie – I used a Gerber 12 month onesie that comes in a 5-pack. Fits my (admittedly monster tall) 2-month old perfectly
Fabric (I used cotton seersucker but any cotton or cotton-poly should do just fine)
Pencil or marking pencil (I only had pencil, but it didn't wash out as easily as I'd hoped, so I recommend a marking pencil if you can get your hands on one)
Wash your fabric. For me, it's always frustrating to have to wait to begin the project, but I've learned over the years that it's really worth it.
For the approximate ruffle size you see in the picture, cut two 9 inch strips of fabric that go the entire width of the fabric. If your fabric is more than 45″ wide you may want to trim it at 45″ so you don't have TOO much ruffle.
Fold each strip lengthwise with the right sides together. Stitch the long side with a very small seam allowance as shown here, making the strip into a tube.
Then, zig-zag the raw seam allowance flat – this means the fabric won't bulk up when you turn it right-side-out to make your ruffle. Of course, if you're lucky enough to have a serger (hint, hint, Engineerboy), you can skip this step b/c you will serge this edge.
After that you'll have two tubes of fabric:
Turn your tubes right-side out and iron them flat.
On each open end of the tube, fold the raw edge under to the inside of the tube (I did about 3/8″) and iron flat.

Here's the thing about this year's Arizona Cardinals: Give them enough time, and they'll find a way.
That's what the Miami Dolphins discovered Sunday after falling to the Cardinals 24-21 in overtime.
Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb was erratic and unremarkable for three-plus quarters before dialing up two final-period touchdown strikes that served as a microcosm of Arizona's 4-0 start.

Trailing 21-14 with 29 seconds left, Kolb and the Cardinals faced a fourth-and-10 from the Miami 15.
Not a problem. Kolb -- a dead man walking for much of the summer -- fired a 15-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts.
When safety Kerry Rhodes picked off Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill's pass in overtime, Kolb did it all over again, calmly guiding the offense on a seven-play, 19-yard drive capped by Jay Feely's 46-yard, game-winning field goal.
"We've seen so many miracles happen in this stadium, we just don't give up hope," Kolb told reporters after the win.
Nobody expected Arizona to rest alone atop the NFC West at the quarter mark of the season, but the Cardinals shouldn't be taken lightly. They've won 11 of 13 dating to November. It's been messy at points, and this team isn't about to thrill you with numbers, but throw out the stats: This team just wins.

Facts: After 31 years of marriage, Wife, 54, and Husband, 64, were divorced. Wife, a homemaker, was the economically disadvantaged spouse. Wife was awarded $500,000 in liquid assets from the equitable division of the marital estate. Wife was also awarded seven years of transitional alimony, with payments of $4,500 per month in year one, and then reducing the payments by $500 per year, placing the year seven payments at $1,500. The trial court also awarded Wife her attorney's fees as alimony in solido, finding she should not have to deplete her resources to pay her attorney's fees, particularly in light of her lack of employment. Husband appealed the award of attorney's fees.
On Appeal: The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court.
Husband argued the trial court improperly awarded Wife her attorney's fees because she had also been awarded $500,000 in liquid assets from the marital estate, which, according to Husband, gave her sufficient assets with which to pay her attorney.
This type of alimony award is reviewed on appeal under an abuse of discretion standard. Under this standard of review, the appellate court can find an abuse of discretion only if the trial court applied incorrect legal standards, reached an illogical conclusion, or based its decision on a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence. This standard does not permit an appellate court to substitute its judgment for that of the trial court, but reflects an awareness that the decision being reviewed involved a choice among several acceptable alternatives, and thus envisions a less rigorous review of the lower court's decision and a decreased likelihood that the decision will be reversed on appeal. Accordingly, when reviewing a discretionary decision by the trial court, such as an alimony determination, the appellate court must presume the decision is correct and review the evidence in the light most favorable to the decision.
With this most deferential standard of review in mind, the Court reasoned:
The [trial court] discussed the general rule that a "spouse with adequate property and income is not entitled to an award of alimony to pay attorney's fees and expenses." The [trial court] further recognized that "[s]uch awards are appropriate only when the spouse seeking them lacks sufficient funds to pay his or her own legal expenses, or the spouse would be required to deplete his or her resources in order to pay them. The [trial court] found that, in this case, [Wife] was unemployed, and payment of her attorney's fees would require her to deplete the resources she was awarded, such that an award of fees as alimony in solido was warranted.
The evidence does not preponderate against these factual determinations.
We are required to uphold the trial court's ruling as long as reasonable minds could disagree about its correctness, and we are not permitted to substitute our judgment for that of the trial court. As such, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion in awarding [Wife] her attorney's fees as alimony in solido. [Wife] had a greater need, and [Husband] had the ability to pay, and considering this along with all the other statutory factors, alimony in solido in the form of an attorney's fee award was appropriate.
The trial court's award of attorney's fees was affirmed.

Warning: touchy feely comment coming up! I have always found it odd that IBM markets the Hardware = POWER7 a lot and very little marketing on the Operating System = AIX7. Personally, I have more good feelings and positive vibes for AIX operating system because I log in to every day and use it for hours than I do for the POWER hardware running it.

Fulbright Project between Texas Gulf Coast Environmental Data (TEXGED) Center, Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) and
Faculty of Science
Ain Shams University during 2008- 2014
Project ID- 3093 – Field Ecological Modeling
Funded by the Bi-national Fulbright Commission in Egypt and Fulbright State Department, USA
Granted April 2008
The project's aim is to develop new aspects of leading seminars or workshops, consult with administrators, faculties and professors at the Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University and to continue collaborations in exchange faculties and graduate students at Ph.D. level. These collaborations will include sharing supervisions of the Ph.D. students between faculties of Ain Shams University and Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU).
In order to accomplish the project The PI from PVAMU University has visited Egypt during the period of May 8,2008- June 9, 2008 and conducted a two-weeks training for two workshops for faculty members and graduate students on topics related biometric studies and biostatistics. Such topics and expertise of biometrics, biostatistics and ecological modeling are lacking in the host institution as Ain Shams University in Egypt. Fulbright has supported the PI from PVAMU University with the travel grant that cover all the necessary expenses and the host institution covered the living expenses in Cairo. In this respect, these workshops introduced the faculty members and graduate students to the
- topics and philosophy of ecological modeling;
- guided them through the process of developing a conceptual model;
- formalizing the models;
- formulating, parameterize, and running the model as well as analyzing the results of the models and
- validations of the models.
In addition to the above, these courses had large amounts of modeling philosophy and after the course the participants improved their critical thinking in understanding the concept of modeling ecological data sets and the best interpretation of ecological data to come the best conclusions of the collected data.
The most important topics that were discussed are simulation modeling for different aspects of ecology such nutrients cycling in the soil, Carbon and Nitrogen cycling in the terrestrial ecosystems, global climatic changes, monitoring particular ecosystems, and modeling fresh water lakes. In these aspects of modeling the PI from PVAMU university has exposed the participants to different techniques such as neural network, simulation, data mining in prediction and artificial intelligence use of modeling.
The participants were given practical sessions on the computer to explore the above techniques in data analyses. Further, the participants were given time for consultations with the PI of PVAMU University to solve problems in their particular ecological data sets and consultation of handling particular data sets in their fields of research and studies and how to do transformation of their data in order to avoid high variability in the ecological data sets that are may be due to the conditions of collecting the data, the time of collections, and techniques used.
At the end of the workshops, the participants were given certificates of attending and completion of the workshops.

U.S. Fulbright Specialist Conducts Workshop at Ain Shams University, 6/9/2008
Dr. Safwat Shakir, Director of Texas Gulf Coast Environmental Data Center (TEXGED) at Prairie View A&M University has visited Ain Shams University. While at Ain Shams Dr. Shakir conducted a two-week workshop on biometrics studies and biostatistics. Faculty members and graduate students from universities throughout Egypt participated in the workshop. Dr. Shakir visited Egypt under the auspices of the Commission's Fulbright Specialist Program, which provides short-term opportunities for Egyptian institutions and American scholars to increase collaboration between the United States and Egypt. Each year nearly a dozen American academics visit Egyptian institutions as Fulbright Specialists.
