Research in Motion changes its name to Blackberry
Confusion looms
THE CANADIAN PHONE MAKER formerly known as Research in Motion announced today that it has changed its name to Blackberry.
Moments ahead of its Blackberry 10 launch in New York, which is being live streamed to an event in London, the firm's CEO Thorsten Heins announced the company's name change.
Heins said, "We want to be one brand. One brand that is recognised all around the world. We have reinvented this company, and we want to reflect this in the brand."
He added, "Saying we have reinvented this company is not enough. We decided to build our own OS, not use someone else's," a statement that set a lone Blackberry fan clapping here at the company's event in London.
Following the name change announcement, Thorsten Heins also addressed criticism he had received due to the recent failings of the company.
"I'm always asked why I took the job at Blackberry," Heins said. "I saw an opportunity, and I saw that innovation was at the heart of the company - which will now be reflected with Blackberry 10."

Sign-up Day for the Mount Rainier Climb (Changing the date to give some folks a little more notice)
Okay, so we've all had a chance to contemplate the reality of the climb. Now is the time to sign-up for the climb and commit to the training and exercise to make the summit attempt.
Some things to consider:
There will be twelve of us making the attempt.
You will need to plan to be in the Seattle area from Saturday, July 12th through Saturday, July 19th (Week long calendar below).
The first nonrefundable $50 payment (for USFS climbing and camping fees) will be due at the February 19th Sign-Up day.
You will need to buy your own airline ticket and arrange for your own accommodations in the Ashford, Washington area though we will coordinate that as we get closer to the date.
Included is a gear list, and we will hand out paper copies at the meeting. You will need buy, borrow or rent the required gear prior to our summit attempt. On the list are rental prices for the items you can rent from Whitakers Outfitters in Ashford.
I estimate the costs for your flight, shared car rental, accommodations, gear rental and permits will be about $1,000 but it may vary by person. The only dollars I will be directly collecting will be the permits ($50) up front and an amount for the rope team gear ($100ish) as we get closer to summit day.
Really important to consider is the physical nature of the summit attempt. The second day we will be roped together in teams of three or four for safety purposes. The rope team will either summit together or turn around and return to camp Muir together. Implicit in your signing up next week will be a commitment to the team to train with us to get into relatively good physical condition for the hike.
Equally physical will be Day 1 when we will hike with about 35 pounds of gear on our backs up about a mile vertical over about five miles horizontal to get from Paradise ranger station to camp Muir. We won't be roped together on Day 1 but it will be a physically challenging climb.
Lastly, we will be on glaciers for most of the hike. For the safety of yourself and the team, by signing up and paying your first $50 you are also committing to practicing rope safety and basic rope rescue with us to be prepared for many safety situations we might encounter. That will include learning and demonstrating techniques on how to ascend up about twenty feet on a rope.
So after all of that, if you are still excited about joining us on this incredible trek, come on out to our sign-up event, bring your $50 fee, and let's get started training.
The planned week-long agenda:
Saturday, July 12th – Arrive in Seattle – Possible day hike in Ashford area
Sunday, July 13th – Team practice day hike possibly to summit Mt St. Helens (8365 feet) or Eagle Peak Saddle (5650 feet)
Monday, July 14th – Pick up permits – Day hike from Paradise trailhead to pebble creek – Final gear check
Tuesday, July 15th – Meet in Paradise parking lot – Hike to Camp Muir
Wednesday, July 16th – Depart for summit at Midnight – return to Muir –
Thursday, July 7th – Second summit day if needed for weather or other reasons – Return to Paradise
Friday, July 18th – Keep just in case we have to stay at Muir longer due to weather
Saturday, July 19th – Return rented gear – Fly home

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro launches in 12.2, 10.1 and 8.4-inch sizes (video)
Samsung has added to its range of tablets with the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro, launched alongside the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 at CES 2014 in Las Vegas.
The Tab Pro will come in a number of different sizes. The largest is 12.2 inches, then a more regular 10.1 incher, followed by the 8.4 inch model, which looks to rival the likes of the LG G Pad 8.3 and the iPad mini.
As this is a regular Galaxy Tab model, it doesn't offer the S Pen that the matching Note Pro models will come with.
The 12.2-inch model comes with a 16:10 aspect LCD display, giving you a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution. That's 247ppi.
Sitting at the heart is a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, offering 4G LTE connectivity, or a 3G version with a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa chipset. The loadout you'll get will depend on the market you're buying the tablet in. There's 3GB or RAM to keep things racing along.
You get the choice of 32/64GB of internal storage in addition to the microSD card slot supporting up to 64GB cards. There's an 8-megapixel camera around the back, partnered with a 2 megapixel on the front.
There's a 9500mAh battery in the 12.2, which should provide plenty of life.
The Samsung Galaxy TabPro 12.2 measures 295.6 x 204 x 7.95mm and will weigh 732g (Wi-Fi) or 740g (LTE), which it pretty heavy to hold one-handed.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 offers the same hardware loadout, with the same 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution display, albeit smaller, resulting in a 298ppi pixel density.
It only has 2GB of RAM and the storage options drop down to the choice of 16 or 32GB internal, again, with microSD. There's a 8220mAh battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 measures 243.1 x 171.4 x 7.3mm and weighs 469g (Wi-Fi) or 477g (4G LTE).
The smallest model is the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. This also has a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution display, so it's going to be really sharp with it's smaller dimensions. You get a pixel density of 359ppi.
There's the same hardware options as the 10.1, with 2GB RAM and 16/32GB internal storage and microSD.
The battery drops to 4800mAh, however, because of the smaller frame which measures 128.5 x 219 x 7.2mm and weighs 331g (Wi-Fi) or 336g (4G LTE).
All these new Galaxy Tab Pro models are said to be launching with Android 4.4 KitKat.
"This new line offers the best-in-class content consumption and productivity, combining a stunning viewing experience with Samsung's design legacy," said JK Shin, Samsung CEO and president of IT and mobile division.
"The Samsung Galaxy NotePro and TabPro truly demonstrate our commitment to providing our customers with extraordinarily versatile product offerings, tailored to tablet users of every description."
We're still waiting on details of pricing and availability, and will update as soon as we have them.

Family violence death toll revealed
Relevant offers
Nearly 50 per cent of children who die as a result of family violence are killed by their mothers, a police report says.
Police today released a report summarising the findings of 95 family violence death reviews involving 101 victims between 2004 and 2011.
The report, which did not include all deaths that occurred during that period, found 15 out of 33 child victims were killed by their mums.
Five newborn babies were killed by women who concealed their pregnancies, while six children were killed by their mothers prior to them committing suicide.
The most common cause of death was head trauma. Suffocation or drowning by the mother was also on the list.
National crime manager Detective Superintendent Rod Drew said the reviews provided police and other agencies with valuable information about the circumstances surrounding family violence deaths.
"Police are first on the scene of a family violence death, we carry out the investigation and we are in a unique position to examine the events leading up to the death".
"The aim of every review is to prevent the same set of circumstances leading to tragedy for other families," Drew said.
The report also found around one third of victims were in each category of men, women and children.
More than 80 per cent of women's deaths were a result of partner violence - compared to 29 per cent of men - representing 57 per cent of all adult family violence deaths.
Women (65 per cent) and children (91 per cent) were commonly killed by people who lived in the same house.
While men (48 per cent) were mostly killed by people outside their immediate family.
Stab wounds were most common in adult deaths, followed by head trauma and gun shot wounds.
In 21 per cent of children's cases and 35 per cent of women's cases, family and friends were aware of the violence, but did not report it.
The report also found in 64 per cent of all cases there was prior police contact with the family.
Drew said a number of changes have been made to the way police respond to family violence that address the findings in the report.
In July, police began to use the Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Analysis (ODARA), an internationally-recognised risk scoring tool, at every incident involving partner violence.
They had also developed a Child Risk Factor Tool (CRFT), which staff began using earlier this year to help predict the risks for children.
"We believe this tool is the only one of its kind in the world," Drew said.
Police are also able to order someone to leave the premises for up to five days thanks to police safety orders (PSOs) which were implemented two years ago.
"We have made significant improvements to inter-agency collaboration since the earliest family violence death reviews were carried out in 2004," Drew said.
"All districts now participate in regular inter-agency meetings to decide how best to help high-risk families and individuals stop the cycle of offending.
Though police didn't do everything right all the time, they were striving to improve their response to family violence, he said.

Shelves: non-fiction
If it were an option, I'd give this 2.5 stars. Yeah, there are a lot of little facts and tidbits, with some uninteresting facts explained more thoroughly than topics that actually are intriguing, but this book has absolutely no rhyme or reason. Thankfully there's an index, but the information is presented with no apparent order. I thought this book would be super interesting to me, but I suppose gardening and growing are definitely not my forte. I couldn't even grow dandelions. And no, I'm not b ...more

Stephen Leatherman, better known as Dr. Beach, is a coastal scientist who has been creating a Top 10 list of best beaches to kickoff the summer season for 21 years. Topping the list is Floridas Siesta Beach, on the Gulf Coast. Calling upon its clean, clear water and hundreds of yards (meters) of fine, white sand it took the lead over other list makers in Florida, California, Hawaii, New York, Massachusetts, and North
and South Carolina. The criteria for Dr. Beachs Top 10 are water and sand quality along with environmental management.
Though no beach has ever received a perfect score, Leatherman said, "I'm still searching, but I've found a lot of great beaches." This years winner is up from last years number 2. Coming in at number 2 this year is Californias beautiful Coronado Beach, in San Diego, which Leatherman referred to as "a veritable oasis by the sea."

The Internal Revenue Service says it paid whistleblowers a total of $53 million US last year for turning in tax cheats. In an annual report to Congress, the agency said it paid out 122 awards. That's an average award of nearly $435,000. The tips led the IRS to collect more than $367 million in taxes, interest and penalties. The report says the IRS received 9,268 whistleblower claims last year, up slightly from 2012.

Mum and daughter scale heights
Relevant offers
Climbing nearly 6000 metres up Africa's tallest mountain is no mean feat.
But mother-daughter duo Clare and Samantha Lindsay of Castor Bay conquered Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and came away with the experience of a lifetime.
It took months of training, carrying up to 7kg on their backs and simulating high altitudes however they could.
The journey took eight days total - six days up and two down for acclimatisation purposes.
Spending 24 hours of the day together in close proximity also proved challenging for the pair.
"So we hammered out the details of our relationship then and there," Mrs Lindsay laughs.
Temperatures up the mountain reached -10 degrees and windchill meant energy levels depleted quickly. Chewing candy and food kept them motivated during their hectic climbing schedule, they say.
The summit was "really, really cold" but the whole experience of the climb was the highlight, Mrs Lindsay says.
But making it to the top was not the only reward on the trip.
They first travelled north to Kenya to visit their Child Fund sponsor of 15 years Frances who is now 19 years old.
The Lindsay family's money helped Frances' family buy land and start a business.
They went to a party and were treated to ugali, which is made of corn and water, and is the staple diet in Kenya, Samantha says.
"It wasn't exactly flavourful but it wasn't nasty either," she says.
Seeing how they have made an impact thousands of kilometres away is something they will never forget.
"Mum, Dad and Frances sat us down and said to us what a difference, how life had been and what a difference our sponsorship had made.
"It was amazing," Mrs Lindsay says.

Are the Angels better?
Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto came to the winter meetings and said his shopping list consisted of at least one more starting pitcher and at least one more reliever. He said it was possible, but unlikely, that they'd do more than that before opening day.
So now they've gotten both. They agreed to terms with starter Joe Blanton and reliever Sean Burnett.
Although the Angels insist they aren't necessarily done, there's a good chance this is it.
These are your 2013 Angels.
Are they better?
Here's a look at the swaps the Angels have made, essentially, so far this winter...
Torii Hunter --> Peter Bourjos
Zack Greinke --> Tommy Hanson
Dan Haren --> Joe Blanton
Ervin Santana --> Garrett Richards or Jerome Williams
Jordan Walden --> Ryan Madson
Jason Isringhausen --> Sean Burnett
Maicer Izturis --> Andrew Romine,
Angel Sanchez, Tommy Field or Brendan Harris
The bullpen comparisons aren't perfect, because players will shift around. Obviously Madson is going to pitch the ninth, which will bump Ernesto Frieri from the ninth to the eighth and Kevin Jepsen from the eighth to the seventh, etc. The same applies for Burnett/Isringhausen. I used Isringhausen, rather than LaTroy Hawkins or Hisanori Takahashi (the second-most used lefty) because Isringhausen pitched the most games of any of the Angels relievers who won't be back. Doesn't really matter who you use in this comparison; Burnett is better. Honestly, the best way to evaluate it is to compare last year's top five vs. next year's top five, but the result is probably the same.
There are a couple other "changes" that are a little more nebulous, like Five Months of Mike Trout vs. Six Months of Mike Trout, and Mark Trumbo Moving Around vs. Mark Trumbo Comfortable In One Position, Adjusting To A New League With A Bad Knee Albert Pujols vs. Comfortable Post-Surgery Albert Pujols.
Considering it all, what do you think? Are the 2013 Angels better than the 2012 Angels?

Middle East
Israel intensified its bombardment of Gaza, launching air and naval strikes up and down the besieged coastal strip that medical officials say killed 25 and wounded more than 140, while militants from Gaza fired a barrage of rockets at cities in Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Gaza's hospitals were struggling to cope with the flow of seriously injured people, doctors said, with video footage showing Palestinians desperately digging through the rubble of collapsed apartment blocks searching for survivors as ambulance sirens wailed in the distance.
Israel vowed to continue its bombardment and on Tuesday the government of Benjamin Netanyahu approved the call-up of an extra 40,000 reservists in preparation for a possible ground assault.
The IDF said militants from Gaza launched a barrage of more than 100 rockets on Tuesday night, with one long-range missile reaching as far as 99 kilometres into Israel. Some were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile system, others landed in fields or unpopulated areas.
There were no reports of casualties although the attacks sent terrified Israelis running for bomb shelters, with air raid sirens sounding in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv late on Tuesday.
Israeli forces say they prevented an attack by armed Palestinians who crossed from Gaza into Israel, killing five militants in the incident.
Damage caused by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip in the Israeli city of Ashdod.
The IDF says it had hit "dozens of terror sites across the Gaza Strip, including concealed rocket launchers, launching infrastructures, a weapon storage facility, training bases, terror tunnels' shafts and further targets".
But the pictures coming out of Gaza told another story – that of civilians, including at least eight children according to Defence of Children International, dying along with the militants.
"We are preparing for a battle against Hamas which will not end within a few days," Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said.
It is the heaviest fighting between Israel's powerful military and militants in Gaza since the eight-day war in November 2012 in which 167 Palestinians, including 87 civilians, and four Israelis were killed.
Tensions escalated sharply last week after the bodies of three Israeli teenagers who had been kidnapped in the occupied West Bank were found, and a Palestinian teenager was abducted and burned to death in what police believe was a revenge attack.
Washington condemned the rocket attacks from Gaza, while the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton condemned both the "indiscriminate fire into Israel by militant groups in the Gaza Strip" and the "growing number of civilian casualties, reportedly among them children, caused by Israeli retaliatory fire". She called on Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza "to do their utmost to achieve an immediate ceasefire".
Palestinian media reported that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and pledged to work on a ceasefire, although there are no signs that hostilities will end any time soon.
Israeli forces killed six children when a missile struck the home of alleged Hamas activist Odeh Ahmad Kaware in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Defence of Children International reported.
The five families living in the building evacuated after an Israeli aerial drone fired a warning missile, however a number of neighbours gathered on the roof in an effort to prevent the bombing.
Despite their presence, an Israeli air strike levelled the building, killing seven people including the six children and injuring 28 others.
Others killed in the air raids included four Hamas members who died in Gaza City when their car was struck, including Mohammed Shaaban, a senior militant.
Mr Netanyahu said "Hamas bears full responsibility for any harm that comes to Israeli and Palestinian civilians alike": "In recent days, Hamas terrorists have fired hundreds of rockets at Israel's civilians. No other country lives under such a threat, and no country would accept such a threat."
But some citizens in southern Israel begged their government to avoid further escalation, saying air strikes would only lead to more civilian deaths on both sides.
Julia Chaitin, who for 41 years has lived on Kibbutz Urim, 14 kilometres from the border with Gaza, described life as "insufferable and dangerous".
"As a resident of the region, it is extremely important to me that people on both sides of the border will have peace and quiet and the real possibility to live lives of dignity without existential fear," she wrote in a letter to the Israeli parliament this week.
Like many Israelis living close to the Gaza border, Ms Chaitan, who represents the Israeli non-governmental organisation Other Voice, hears both the Israeli air strikes on Gaza and the rockets fired on Israel from Gaza.
"It is all around me," she said. "We have been trying to maintain contact with our friends in Gaza but it is difficult to keep communications going."
On the other side of the border, Palestinians described the constant bombardment that shook buildings and shattered windows throughout Gaza – a 42-kilometre long strip that is under a sustained land, air and sea blockade from Israel that prevents most of Gaza's 1.7 million population from leaving.
Egypt has also kept its border with Gaza closed for most of the last year, although it announced it would open the Rafah Crossing to allow Gazans critically injured in the Israeli attacks to reach medical help.
"There has been no respite, not even for one hour," said Nasser, a student, speaking on the phone from his home in Gaza City. "They are hitting all over Gaza, there seems to be no area that's been spared."
"Shattered windows, terrified children, we are on the floor," Dr Mona Qasim al-Farra wrote on her Facebook page from her home near the Gaza Port.
"Right now it is Ramadan, the month of fasting, and an increasing number of families have difficulty to get basic food, survival is a constant fight. The military operation continues with threats of its expansion in the coming few days, and no news about any ceasefire."
In a letter to the United Nations, Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour called on the UN Security Council to act against Israel's bombardment.
"The intensification of Israel's aggression against the 1.7 million Palestinians imprisoned in the Gaza Strip by Israel's immoral blockade threatens to further destabilise the dangerous situation on the ground and fully ignite yet another round of deadly violence," Dr Mansour wrote.

UK: Online drinks adverts face tougher checks
Concern over social networking sites
The UK Government's advertising watchdog is set to enforce stricter rules for online marketing by the alcoholic drinks industry.
Drinks companies' own websites are to be subject to the same rules and scrutiny as online adverts on third party websites under the new proposal, which is set to be endorsed by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) later this year.
All forms of online marketing generated by the drinks trade could be covered by the rule change.
Online drinks adverts, such as banners on third party websites, are already covered by the ASA's non-broadcast code, but the industry and ASA agree that this should be extended to better protect young people below the minimum drinking age of 18 years.
The alcohol industry's self-regulatory body, The Portman Group, has introduced guidelines on digital marketing but these are voluntary.
"We're going to hand over responsibility for digital marketing to the ASA at the end of this year," Portman's chairman, Seymour Fortescue, told delegates at a conference on alcohol and public health in London today (8 July).
Despite efforts to tighten online regulation, some have expressed concern that the ASA and Portman will not seek to tackle unofficial images and information on drinks brands on the internet - so-called user generated content.
Many social networking sites popular with young people have fan pages that include alcoholic drinks and this is "completely unregulated", warned the Scottish Youth Commission on Alcohol (SYCA).
"It's consumers who are promoting consumption of alcohol, often to extremes," said Tobias Paul, a commissioner for SYCA. He named Bebo, a social networking site popular with school-age children, as a particular problem and where users have set up fan pages for brands including Smirnoff and WKD.
Mark Baird, the head of corporate social responsibility for Smirnoff producer Diageo, denied any involvement by the company in creating the fan group.
He told just-drinks that the industry is powerless to control user generated content. "If there was something that we could do, then we'd do it," he said. Diageo was recently forced to issue a statement denying any involvement in a drinking game known as "Icing" involving Smirnoff and which spread rapidly throughout the US with the help of the internet.
"User generated content is a real problem," said Dr Ian Twinn, director of public affairs at advertisers' trade body, ISBA.
"What you can't have is advertisers being held responsible for something that a group of students whip up at three o'clock in the morning."
Portman's Fortescue said that drinks firms were uneasy with user generated viral marketing on their brands. "Generally speaking, producers are as unhappy with it as we are," he said.
The London conference on public health and alcohol was organised by the Westminster Food & Nutrition Forum.

Saskatoon invests $3M in equity building program
CTV Saskatoon
Published Tuesday, February 8, 2011 8:25AM CST
Saskatoon city council has voted in favour of a $3-million investment in an equity building program over the next five years.
The program will lend an average of $12,000 dollars to moderate-income households looking to buy their first home.
"They make enough money that they don't qualify for any affordable housing programs, but they don't make enough money that they can save for the down payment (on a home)," said Coun. Pat Lorje.
Over the course of the five years, up to 250 applicants could receive the loan.
"These are interest-bearing loans, so they will need to be repaid with interest," said Paul Gauthier of Saskatoon Community Services.
"This way, we will earn the same rate of return as we are now and we will give those people the opportunity to move from rental to home ownership."
The city says the program is the missing link in ensuring all segments of society have access to affordable housing.

My DH and I are going to Maine for our first trip there at the end of July to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary- we are in our early 50s. We have 4 nights and 5 days (arrive at 10:30 am Tuesday and leave at 5:30 pm Sat. in/out of Portland). We like to eat, hang w the locals, see lighthouses, walk around and explore and are open to new activities.
We plan to spend the first 2 nights in/around Camden/Rockland or SW Harbor/Bay Harbor so that we can drive up to Acadia. Then drive down to Portland and stay 2 nights there so we can cover that part of the state.
Looking for hotel recommendations in both areas. B & B's are good, and prefer them a little more posh... clean rooms are a "must" w/ comfortable beds. can also splurge a little for more boutique-y types.

Just south of Portland a few miles, check out the Black Point Inn.
In the Camden/Rockland area, there are a number of great B&Bs but many are probably already full-up for the end of July. If it's July 30 and 31 that you're looking at, it looks like The Samoset Resort, The Inn at Ocean's Edge and The Hartstone Inn all have rooms available.
Report Abuse
Recommend Hartstone Inn in Camden. Nice places (most of these inns have annexes), nice people, good food, great locations.
Report Abuse
Great stuff, thanks. We are traveling July 23-27 so I will check out both options..... What about The Danforth in Portland? overpriced?
