I am getting the error Wrong type argument to unary minus and Expected ';' before ':' token

The error occurs at the - (NSIndexPath *).... line

I am really New at this, so if there is anymore info needed, please ask, if you need to see the entire app, please e-mail me @ james at sevenotwo dot com. the app isn't really complicated. it is based on the sample code on Apple's website for the iphonedatacorerecipes code.
