Breaking Down Teens' Bond Reduction
Posted: 9:20 PM Dec 13, 2012
Reporter: Chip Scarborough
Breaking Down Teens Bond Reduction
A judge's decision to reduce the bonds of two teens arrested on armed robbery charges is still a hot button topic.
Captain Dean Harper with the Meridian Police Department says a bond is issued to make sure a suspect returns for court. He says a bond is not used as a disciplinary action.
Harper says every suspect is entitled to a preliminary hearing in order for the judge to hear the evidence, but sometimes the defense attorney will ask the judge to waive the preliminary hearing in exchange for a lower bond.
"So, it's a judicial decision," Harper points out. "That's what they decided to do that day. The judge can lower the bond, leave the bond the same, he can raise it. It's the judge's decision. The law passed over in Jackson gives him that power. None of us standing here had anything to do with that."
The bonds of 15-year old Robert Edwards and 16-year old Tony Kimble were lowered from $250,000 to $10,000.

Structural-Functional Relationships of the Dynein, Spokes, and Central-Pair Projections Predicted from an Analysis of the Forces Acting within a Flagellum Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 6, 1 June 2003, Pages 4115-4126 Charles B. Lindemann Abstract In the axoneme of eukaryotic flagella the dynein motor proteins form crossbridges between the outer doublet microtubules. These motor proteins generate force that accumulates as linear tension, or compression, on the doublets. When tension or compression is present on a curved microtubule, a force per unit length develops in the plane of bending and is transverse to the long axis of the microtubule. This transverse force (t-force) is evaluated here using available experimental evidence from sea urchin sperm and bull sperm. At or near the switch point for beat reversal, the t-force is in the range of 0.25–1.0nN/μm, with 0.5nN/μm the most likely value. This is the case in both beating and arrested bull sperm and in beating sea urchin sperm. The total force that can be generated (or resisted) by all the dyneins on one micron of outer doublet is also ∼0.5nN. The equivalence of the maximum dynein force/μm and t-force/μm at the switch point may have important consequences. Firstly, the t-force acting on the doublets near the switch point of the flagellar beat is sufficiently strong that it could terminate the action of the dyneins directly by strongly favoring the detached state and precipitating a cascade of detachment from the adjacent doublet. Secondly, after dynein release occurs, the radial spokes and central-pair apparatus are the structures that must carry the t-force. The spokes attached to the central-pair projections will bear most of the load. The central-pair projections are well-positioned for this role, and they are suitably configured to regulate the amount of axoneme distortion that occurs during switching. However, to fulfill this role without preventing flagellar bend formation, moveable attachments that behave like processive motor proteins must mediate the attachment between the spoke heads and the central-pair structure.

Mechanical Properties of Inner-Arm Dynein-F (Dynein I1) Studied With In Vitro Motility Assays Biophysical Journal, Volume 93, Issue 3, 1 August 2007, Pages 886-894 Norito Kotani, Hitoshi Sakakibara, Stan A. Burgess, Hiroaki Kojima and Kazuhiro Oiwa Abstract Inner-arm dynein-f of Chlamydomonas flagella is a heterodimeric dynein. We performed conventional in vitro motility assays showing that dynein-f translocates microtubules at the comparatively low velocity of ∼1.2μm/s. From the dependence of velocity upon the surface density of dynein-f, we estimate its duty ratio to be 0.6–0.7. The relation between microtubule landing rate and surface density of dynein-f are well fitted by the first-power dependence, as expected for a processive motor. At low dynein densities, progressing microtubules rotate erratically about a fixed point on the surface, at which a single dynein-f molecule is presumably located. We conclude that dynein-f has high processivity. In an axoneme, however, slow and processive dynein-f could impede microtubule sliding driven by other fast dyneins (e.g., dynein-c). To obtain insight into the in vivo roles of dynein-f, we measured the sliding velocity of microtubules driven by a mixture of dyneins -c and -f at various mixing ratios. The velocity is modulated as a function of the ratio of dynein-f in the mixture. This modulation suggests that dynein-f acts as a load in the axoneme, but force pushing dynein-f molecules forward seems to accelerate their dissociation from microtubules.

Ratchetlike Properties of In Vitro Microtubule Translocation by a Chlamydomonas Inner-Arm Dynein Species c in the Presence of Flow Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 6, 16 September 2009, Pages 1657-1662 Kenji Kikushima and Ritsu Kamiya Abstract To investigate the force generation properties of Chlamydomonas axonemal inner-arm dyneins in response to external force, we analyzed microtubule gliding on dynein-coated surfaces under shear flow. When inner-arm dynein c was used, microtubule translocation in the downstream direction accelerated with increasing flow speed in a manner that depended on the dynein density and ATP concentration. In contrast, the microtubule translocation velocity in the upstream direction was unaffected by the flow speed. The number of microtubules on the glass surface was almost constant with and without flow, suggesting that gliding acceleration was not simply caused by weakened dynein-microtubule binding. With other inner-arm dynein species, the microtubule gliding velocity was unaffected by the flow regardless of the flow direction or nucleotide concentration. The flow-generated force acting on a single dynein was estimated to be as small as ∼0.03 pN/dynein. These results indicate that dynein c possesses a ratchetlike property that allows acceleration only in one direction by a very small external force. This property should be important for slow- and fast-moving dyneins to function simultaneously within the axoneme. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (232 kb) |

Cilia and flagella are equipped with multiple species of dyneins that have diverse motor properties. To assess the properties of various axonemal dyneins of Chlamydomonas, in vitro microtubule translocation by isolated dyneins was examined with and without flow of the medium. With one inner-arm dynein species, dynein c, most microtubules became aligned parallel to the flow and translocated downstream after the onset of flow. When the flow was stopped, the gliding direction was gradually randomized. In contrast, with inner-arm dyneins d and g, microtubules tended to translocate at a shallow right angle to the flow. When the flow was stopped, each microtubule turned to the right, making a curved track. The clockwise translocation was not accompanied by lateral displacement, indicating that these dyneins generate torque that bends the microtubule. The torque generated by these dyneins in the axoneme may modulate the relative orientation between adjacent doublet microtubules and lead to more efficient functioning of total dyneins.

Handy for the I10, 20 miles east of Houston, friendly, helpful staff. The rest was awful. The noisiest site we have ever stayed on - the I10 rumbled the whole night. The sites are close together and soul-less. The toilets were filthy and the showers weren't much better. Also, they are no longer a KOA site; KOA sites are usually excellent.

The 1995 Florida Legislative Session resulted in the passage of House Bill 347, also known as the Neighborhood Preservation and Enhancement Act (Act). The Act empowers the Broward County Board of County Commissioners to create a neighborhood preservation and enhancement district at the request of the residents of that neighborhood. Once the district has been created, the residents within the district elect a five-member neighborhood council to work with the Planning Services Division in the development of a neighborhood enhancement plan. The plan, which must be adopted by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, contains minimum standards for property maintenance, building codes, and community aesthetics. Upon adoption of the plan, the neighborhood council is authorized to exercise limited powers to enforce the standards of its neighborhood enhancement plan.
The Broward County Board of County Commissioners, through adoption of section 163.524(1), Florida Statutes, supports the intent of the Florida Legislature to bestow upon established neighborhoods the power to develop and promote a quality of life which reflects the values and interests of the residents of their community. In fact, Broward County created its first district in July, 2000 for the Broward Estates neighborhood in the central unincorporated area.
The creation of the Broward Estates Neighborhood Preservation and Enhancement District represents a landmark for community empowerment and furthers one of the County's strategic goals to enhance economic development efforts, including urban renewal.

Description | Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved. Good communicators tend to be good leaders. |

vacation rental description
When the developer built this 18 unit condominium in 1973, he saved this unit for his family. One look will tell you why. It is the largest unit in the Hoyochi Nikko complex and is wonderfully spacious and open.
The view from this second floor unit is spectacular.
The living room has a soaring 18 ft ceiling and an adjoining lanai that features a panoramic view of the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i and the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. The large sectional couch is a sofa-bed.
The large lanai has plenty of room for afternoon sunning or outside dining for four. Imagine breakfast on the lanai watching the whales breach offshore or having dinner or a drink while watching the sun set.
The well appointed kitchen has the same spectacular view as the living room.
Above the kitchen and overlooking the living room is a sleeping loft with a Queen sized bed. At night, all you hear is the surf.
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and plenty of closet space.
The bathroom consists of two rooms: one with a walk-in shower and toilet; and the other, with a large vanity and sink.
Newly redecorated in 2010 in seaside colors, our unit provides a roomy, calm environment. You will instantly feel at home.
The grounds are beautifully maintained. Your lanai overlooks the pool which is steps away from the ocean and a beautiful lawn with plenty of lounge chairs. It's like having your own private yard. Great swimming, snorkeling and surfing are right offshore.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Major or Minor: That is the question
Major or Minor?
That is the question
It's an age-old question among us maintenance technicians, one that is yet to receive a clear, understandable answer from the FAA. I remember the first time I raised the question to my then chief inspector. At that time I was not interested in trying to find the answer in the regulations, I expected the chief inspector to be able to provide me with a quick response so that I could move on and get to the next task at hand. What I learned that day has remained the same to this day. The distinction between a major and a minor alteration and a major and a minor repair is clouded by outdated regulations and guidance material.
First of all, we need to understand the difference between a repair and an alteration. Although not specifically defined in the regulations, a repair is maintenance that takes place to restore a type-certificated product to "condition for safe operation." And, an alteration is maintenance that is performed that adds to and/or removes from the type-certificated product's configuration. So, repairs and alterations make up the majority of what maintenance is and what is performed every day.
Next, lets try to understand the reason that we care about the difference between major and minor. For one thing, 14 CFR Part 43.9 in harmony with Appendix B to Part 43 requires a different means of recording the maintenance when it is "major."
14CFR Part 43.9 (a)(4)
"If the work performed on the aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine,
propeller, appliance, or component part has been performed satisfactorily, the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work. The signature constitutes the approval for return to service only for the work performed. In addition to the entry required by this paragraph, major repairs and major alterations shall be entered on a form, and the form disposed of, in the manner prescribed in Appendix B, by the person performing the work."
14 CFR Part 43 Appendix B (a)
"(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this appendix, each person performing a major repair or major alteration shall -
(1) Execute FAA Form 337 at least in duplicate;
(2) Give a signed copy of that form to the aircraft owner; and
(3) Forward a copy of that form to the local Flight Standards District Office within 48 hours after the aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance is approved for return to service."
The next question is who is it that must make the decision that the repair or alteration is major in nature. Well this takes us back to the rule that requires it, 14 CFR Part 43.9.
14 CFR Part 43.9 (a) (4) (in part)
". . . In addition to the entry required by this paragraph, major repairs and major alterations shall be entered on a form, and the form disposed of, in the manner prescribed in Appendix B, by the person performing the work."
It is the person performing the work who must make the distinction. When the work is performed, by the person performing it, he/she must decide whether or not a "form prescribed in Appendix B" must be utilized. Lets think for a moment now about who can perform maintenance. Look at 14 CFR Part 43.3:
43.3 Persons authorized to perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, and alterations
"(a) Except as provided in this section and §43.17, no person may maintain, rebuild, alter, or perform preventive maintenance on an aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part to which this part applies. Those items, the performance of which is a major alteration, a major repair, or preventive maintenance, are listed in Appendix A.

OUS History
Quality educational opportunity has been a priority for Oregonians even before Congress granted statehood. In 1856, the roots of Oregon public higher education were established when the Territorial Legislature acknowledged Monmouth College (later to become Western Oregon University) as the state's first chartered campus. A short three years later, the Legislature used federal support from the Morrill Act to establish the Agricultural College of Oregon (now Oregon State University) as the first state-supported institution of higher education.
Public higher education rapidly grew with the founding of the University of Oregon in 1876, the U of O Medical School (now the Oregon Health & Science University) in 1887, and the formal establishment of three state normal schools (Western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, and Eastern Oregon University) in 1882.
As the state and its network of public universities grew in stature and complexity in the early 1900s, Oregonians developed a new approach to public higher education that would become a national model. On March 1, 1929, the Legislature established the Oregon State Board of Higher Education to provide oversight to the established schools and to eliminate unnecessary duplication. It took nearly two years for the Board to study curricula and reorganize a unified structure of higher education in Oregon. The task was made even more difficult when the Great Depression brought about postponed building maintenance, salary reductions and layoffs for faculty and staff. But in 1931, the Board hired the system's first chancellor and effectively began to administer the Legislature's vision for a unified Oregon State System of Higher Education.
In the years following World War II, the demand for access to public higher education in Oregon grew rapidly as returning veterans and in-migration boosted the state's population and added to its economic growth. In 1946, two additional public institutions -- the Vanport Extension Center in Portland and the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls -- were created to accommodate post-war students. In 1955, the growth of the Vanport Center led to the establishment of Portland State University, and in 1959 the governance of the Oregon Institute of Technology was transferred to the higher education system.
Today, the Oregon University System's seven diverse and quality-focused institutions - Eastern Oregon University, Oregon Institute of Technology, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Oregon, and Western Oregon University, and one branch campus, OSU-Cascades - provide higher education opportunities to all Oregonians who in turn enrich the economic and cultural base in the state.
Currently, OUS enrolls over 100,000 students and awards more than 20,000 degrees annually. Program offerings represent hundreds of academic disciplines, encompassing one of the nation's most comprehensive ranges of scholarship, service and research excellence. (See the OUS Fact Book for more details.)
Among the full-time ranked instructional faculty of almost 2,900 are world-class artisans, scholars, scientists and teachers, many who have come to Oregon, like thousands of others, to fulfill the promise of a better way of life for this and future generations.
Oregon higher education has become a national model of innovation and leadership. The Oregon University System's performance-based productivity model, shaped by the State Board of Higher Education in 1997, continues to be nationally recognized for transforming higher education and making it more accessible and accountable to Oregon citizens.
Recent higher education reforms enacted in 2011 have changed OUS from a state agency to a public university system, providing additional flexibility for the System to be able to serve students more effectively while better managing costs and revenues. The State of Oregon's 40-40-20 goal has coalesced all of the education sectors in Oregon around a bold education attainment goal: by 2025 40% of Oregonians will have a bachelor's or advanced degree, 40% will have an associate's degree or meaningful certificate, and 100% of high school students will graduate with a diploma. The State Board of Higher Education and the OUS are working hard with the state's community colleges and K-12 to erase the boundaries between the education sectors and find better ways to ensure student success across the education spectrum. For more information on the 40-40-20 goal see http://www.ous.edu/partner/404020.

A 10-year veteran of the Denver and Jefferson County Sheriff's offices and a retired National Guard Chief Warrant Officer and combat veteran, TYJ Global Helicopters' Mike Fyola has logged more than 6,000 hours as a helicopter pilot. During that time, he piloted medical evacuations as well as search-and-rescue flights, but also shuttled governors, Congressmen, and sightseers. Along with his wife, Gina, Mike leads instructional flight sessions high above Denver and the surrounding mountains in their Schweizer 300C helicopters. The duo specializes in high-altitude flight training and charter services and also offers flight training for private-pilot, flight-instructor, and cloud-wrangling certification.
Suspended within a glass and steel bubble, passengers soar over red-rock foothills and misty mountaintops. In the distance, they can glimpse the towering steel buildings of the Mile High City. The sun glints from a golden dome, and abstract façades of modern architecture reach toward clear, blue skies dotted with clouds. Though their ears are shielded by headsets, the passengers can hear the hum of the helicopter's blades as they slice through the air. Customers also get a chance to try their hand at piloting a helicopter on one of the simulators.
Colorado Heli-Ops's team of extensively trained pilots ferries passengers on aerial tours such as these that fly over some of their state's most historic sites and breathtaking scenery. The sleek metal hulls of Robinson R44 helicopters provide limousine-like luxury with plush leather seats, Bose headsets, and iPod docks that invite guests to enhance flights with a personal soundtrack of emotional rock ballads. On-staff photographers can professionally capture tour memories with high-powered lenses affixed to 15MP Canon cameras and develop all images in house after the flight. Pilots also use their mechanical birds to train clients for private and commercial pilot's licenses or help them brush up on more specialized skills through programs in high-altitude and mountain flight. To enable preflight preparation and let students observe the flight patterns of digital geese, staffers operate two FAA-certified Frasca Truflight H simulators and one Merlin Turbine simulator.

Tap That! (Shutterstock photo / October 2, 2012) |
Connecticut maple syrup isn't one of the first things people usually think of when the issue of global warming comes up. But maybe it should be.
Average winter temperatures in southern New England are up by several degrees. Spring is coming earlier. Some experts are predicting climate change could begin to have an impact on our forests — and our sugar maple trees and maple syrup producers — before the end of this century.
The flip side of this coin is technology: our syrup dudes are using improved technology to get lots more sap out of their maples than ever before. And those higher-tech systems are apparently more than compensating for the climate changes, according to experts.
Until about a decade ago, says Wayne Palmer, people who make maple syrup in this state would traditionally start tapping into the trees around President's Day, which falls in the third week of February.
Palmer runs the Winding Brook Sugar House in Hebron and says his family has been making syrup for at least four generations. He doesn't personally use the term 'global warming,' but he is sure things in his woods have been changing.
"Last year, I tapped February 1st," Palmer recalls. Some of his buddies who use a modern vacuum-tapping system to get the sap out of their trees started hooking up their plastic hose lines in mid-January, according to Palmer. "That was unheard of 10 years ago," he says.
Mark Harran, president of the Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut, agrees. "I do believe people are tapping earlier," he says.
The reason is the hydraulics of getting sap from sugar maple trees. The sap doesn't start running unless there are sharp changes in temperature between the cold nights and warmer days; the expansion and contraction in the tree as it freezes and warms and freezes again forces the sap out.
According to climate records, average temperatures across the Northeast have risen more than two degrees Fahrenheit since 1970, and average winter temperatures have increased by about four degrees.
There are global-warming computer models that are predicting the climate of Connecticut and the rest of southern New England could be sort of Virginia-like before the end of this century. And that could mean some significant changes in the sorts of trees that thrive in this part of the country. Trees like the sugar maple might well begin to die out around here, according to some experts.
Chris Martin, Connecticut's state forester, says it's still too early to tell if those alarming kinds of forecasts are accurate as far as our woodlands are concerned. "Trees are slow responders to change," he points out.
"Global warming is a long-term trend which is certainly happening," Harran says, quickly adding that the short-term doesn't look like a major problem. "In 80 years, we might have a problem here."

Human Rights Defenders
The Human Rights Defenders Project seeks to compliment and reinforce the existing NGO and civil society network in support of human rights defenders (HRDs) at risk and, where that support is not forthcoming or is deemed inadequate, to ensure the necessary support can be secured from the private sector. Under the Project, CCHR will also conduct research and advocacy towards legislative, structural and policy changes to ensure that the right to defend human rights is fully respected.
The situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in Cambodia, including the freedoms of thought, expression and association, is dire. The state apparatus in Cambodia including the police, military, the judiciary and even the National Assembly is being used to harass and harangue HRDs. The court system in particular has played a central role in the intimidation of HRDs, with the orders of the courts used to give the appearance of legitimacy to violations of human rights. According to the Cambodian Human Rights and Development Organisation (ADHOC), in 2009 alone there were an estimated 235 criminal complaints against HRDs, 147 of whom were imprisoned.
Yet no mechanism currently exists to protect and promote the rights of HRDs in Cambodia. Although NGOs do provide some support to HRDs – including occasional and ad hoc legal aid and humanitarian support – the support that is available is sometimes inadequate and, in certain highly sensitive or political cases, even non-existent. Furthermore, a lack of understanding amongst relevant organizations of the bigger picture of the situation of HRDs hinders genuine evidence based advocacy aimed at achieving the institutional, policy and legislative changes that are necessary to ensure positive changes in government actions in respect of the rights of HRDs. Such lack of understanding also obstructs the observance and implementation of international human rights standards with respect to HRDs, particularly in relation to the panoply of rights that HRDs work to promote and protect and which are guaranteed to all Cambodians in domestic and/or international law.
By working to support the rights of HRDs, we can ensure that human rights are monitored, violations are reported, redress for violations is provided and positive changes in policies and actions of government in the area of human rights are secured. By promoting and protecting the rights of HRDs, we can also work to promote observance and implementation of international human rights standards.
The Project will put in place a special mechanism – a "one-stop shop" – for the promotion and protection of the rights of HRDs: providing protection to HRDs under threat, including the threat of physical violence and/or judicial intimidation, and promoting the rights of HRDs, seeking positive change in government polices and actions towards HRDs and the observance and implementation of international human rights standards in this regard. The mechanism will be collaborative, coordinating and optimizing for HRDs under threat, the support that is available from community based organizations (CBOs), sector based organizations (SBOs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Where that support is not forthcoming or is considered inadequate, necessary support will be secured from the private sector. The support provided to HRDs under the Project will include, although will not be limited to, legal advice and representation, humanitarian aid, and advocacy advice.
The target beneficiaries of the Project are HRDs who work to prevent and end violations of human rights, including, but not restricted to, extrajudicial and arbitrary killings, human trafficking, restrictions on freedoms of thought, expression and association, abuses in the judicial system, systematic discrimination, mass evictions, forced displacement, denial of the rights to economic livelihoods for particular groups, and forced labor. The intended beneficiaries in the short-term are the aided HRDs themselves, though in the long term the result of this Project will benefit all HRDs throughout Cambodia, therefore all Cambodians. The target audience for the dialogue and advocacy is the Royal Government of Cambodia, who have an obligation to respect, protect and promote human rights, the Cambodian people, to whom the RGC owes guarantees of human rights, and the international community, to exercise influence on the government and support Cambodians in the quest for respect for their human rights.

I've created a group of 40 different icons (telephone, star, diamond, etc.) and I need to apply 150 colors to each one of those icons then save each icon individually as a PNG with a filename of <ICONNAME-COLORNAME.png>. Those 150 colors have already been defined with individual custom color names within a color group I created called "MyColors."
I've figured out the PNG export part of the javascript (and that script is available all over the place) but my scripting skills suck and I'm not sure what I need to do to get this done. I've read the Illustrator Scripting Guide (I got lost pretty quick) and I've done some searching for scripts but without any luck. I was thinking that the best way to approach this was to put each of the different icons (telephone, star, diamond, etc.) on a single layer, each within a different illustrator file and then run the script on each file to automatically generate the colors and layers I need within each file. I could then run a PNG export script against each file. Or is there a better way to create these PNGs?
I know it's a lot to ask and I hate to ask it, but I'll lose my mind if I have to do this by hand. Can anyone help me with this scripting? I'd be happy to throw a few bucks your way (or donate them to the charity of your choice)!
I'm on Illustrator CS5/CS6 ...
All of the icons are monochrome. Here is an image that may help explain what I need. The icon in this example (figure 1) is a star. The color group (figure 2) is called "Rob" and each color is named (e.g. gold, gray, red, etc.). I need a script that will take a basic monochrome icon and then create a new layer for every color in that color group with a naming convention of ICONNAME-COLORNAME (e.g. star-gold) and then apply the appropriate color to the icon on that layer. In the end, the final output should look something like the layers seen in figure 3. Is that helpful?
Yes. The icons themselves are all this simple but there's another wrinkle that I didn't want to mention because I was afraid it would make this question more confusing.
In addition to these simple icons I also need a color button version for each of them. For example, in addition to color icons as previously described, I also need a button in each of the ~150 colors with a white icon (star in this example) on top.
This button is comprised of two objects but when grouped and a color is selected, it changes to the appropriate color needed. Anyway, my plan was to generate the color icons first and save them in a file. I was then going to generate the color buttons the same way (treating them like the icons). Then I was going to paste the icons onto the blank buttons and then move them into the same file as the icons and then generate the PNGs from that single file. I was going to use a naming convention of <ICONNAME-COLORNAME-btn.png> for the button files. Therefore, just doing an export straight to a file wouldn't be my ideal in this situation.
Im not sure how you set up your files but given this situation I would… Have 1 doc with all the colors 150 in swatches. 40 layers for icons above a base ( button layer ) then I would…
Turn off every layer
turn on first layer and change color and export
then change it to white
turn on last layer and change color and export
rinse repeat til done…
does that make sense? 12k pngs
Let me simplify my request.
I need a script that will take an object on the first (and only layer) and then create x layers (with x being the total number of colors in the color group) with each layer named for the first layer name (e.g. star) plus the "-COLORNAME" (e.g. -red) to give me x layers with a layer naming convention of FIRSTLAYERNAME-COLORNAME (e.g. star-red).
I can do the rest manually.
So I got this far but the layer objects aren't duplicating. Any ideas?
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var grp = swatchGroups.getByName('Rob');
for (var i = 0; i < swatchGroups.length; i++) {
if (swatchGroups[i].name == 'Rob') {
grp = swatchGroups[i];
var grpList = grp.getAllSwatches();
//var sw = grpList[55];
var originalLayerLength = layers.length;
for (var i = 0; i < originalLayerLength; i++) {
var oldLayer = layers[i];
oldLayer.name = oldLayer.name;
oldLayer.visible = true;
for (var j = 0; j < grpList.length; j++) {
var nLayer = layers.add();
nLayer.name = oldLayer.name + '-' + grpList[j].name;
nLayer.visible = true;
for (var k = 0; k < oldLayer.pathItems; k++) {
for (var k = 0; k < nLayer.pathItems.length; k++) {
nLayer.pathItems[k].selected = true;
nLayer.pathItems[k].fillColor = grpList.color;
for(var i = 0; i < pathItems.length; i++) {
pathItems[i].selected = true;
pathItems[i].fillColor = sw.color;
1. When you add a new layer, the layers.length changed, and "var oldLayer = layers[i];" will always point to the wrong layer. So you should store origin layers to an Array first.
2. for (var k = 0; k < oldLayer.pathItems; k++) should be for (var k = 0; k < oldLayer.pathItems.length; k++)
3. oldLayer.name = oldLayer.name; ???
4. nLayer.pathItems[k].selected = true; In script you do not need to select object first in order to change color.
So, here you go:
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with(docRef) {
var grp = swatchGroups.getByName('Rob');
var grpList = grp.getAllSwatches();
var originalLayerLength = layers.length;
var oldLayers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < originalLayerLength; i++) {
oldLayers[i] = layers[i];
for (var i = 0; i < oldLayers.length; i++) {
var oldLayer = oldLayers[i];
oldLayer.visible = true;
for (var j = 0; j < grpList.length; j++) {
var nLayer = layers.add();
nLayer.name = oldLayer.name + '-' + grpList[j].name;
for (var k = 0; k < oldLayer.pathItems.length; k++) {
oldLayer.pathItems[k].duplicate(nLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING).fillColor = grpList[j].color;
I can not test because I have no document like you have.

"Zero Dark Thirty," which has been a favorite with critics' circles, nabbed five nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow), Best Actress (Jessica Chastain), and Best Original Screenplay.
The critics' top ten is quite close to the one chosen by the AFI movie jury, except that BFCA went with "The Master" over AFI's "The Dark Knight Rises." The Broadcast critics nominate six in many categories, which leaves open the question what will make the cut when five Oscars nominations are announced on January 10--the same day the BFCA winners will be announced live at a ceremony in Santa Monica.
In the best actor race, for example, LAFCA winner Joaquin Phoenix will be duking it out with Denzel Washington for the fifth slot. The SAG nominations Wednesday and Golden Globes Thursday will reflect their relative strength, as neither "The Master" nor "Flight" are robust Oscar contenders at this stage. Bradley Cooper scored two nominations, for best actor and best actor in a comedy, for "Silver Linings Playbook."
In the actress race, while "Beasts" has gained support from critics, Quvenzhané Wallis (also nominated for best young performer) has yet to win a major prize, and Naomi Watts' "The Impossible" has yet to open. Jessica Chastain leads that pack, followed by Jennifer Lawrence (who also earned a slot as best action movie actress for "Hunger Games"), as well as two French actresses vying for spots in the final Oscar five. Emannuelle Riva shared a win with Lawrence from the LAFCA, but "Rust and Bone" star Marion Cotillard has been largely ignored. Both "Amour" and "Rust and Bone" are on the BFCA foreign film list.
The only surprise on the supporting actor list is Bond villain Javier Bardem for best action movie nominee "Skyfall," which is popular among Academy voters, who tend to be snobby toward genre sequels. Judi Dench as M also landed in both supporting actress and best actress in an action movie. Also in supporting was veteran Ann Dowd of "Compliance," who is backing her own campaign and scored an NBR win. Anne Hathaway scored for Fontine in "Les Miserables," as well as action movie actress for Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises." Jackie Weaver of "Silver Linings" was a notable omission.
While summer hit "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" didn't make the top ten, it did land in the best ensemble category. And while "Django Unchained" made the top ten list, it only scored one other nomination, for original screenplay. (Multiple supporting actors likely knocked each other out; I voted for Samuel L. Jackson, while others presumably went for Leonardo DiCaprio or Christoph Waltz.) Rian Johnson's "Looper" turned up in best original screenplay and best action and best sci-fi/horror movie. And while Jake Gyllenhaal didn't land in best actor, he did register in best actor in an action movie, for "End of Watch."
The BFCA included three high-profile docs passed over by the Academy doc branch for the shortlist of 15: Amy Berg's "West of Memphis," Lauren Greenfield's "Queen of Versailles," and Ken Burns' "Central Park Five."
Other dual nominees include the composer and editor of the same two movies, "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty," Alexandre Desplat and William Goldenberg, respectively.
Check out our TOH! roundup of all critics' winners thus far.
Complete list of nominations for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards:
spassky | December 11, 2012 1:32 PM
I'm here (like so many others in myriad indiewire articles) to complain about how awards season has been attributing the success of 'The Master' outside of the performances. While I very much enjoyed reading the (original) screenplay, the directorial work that Anderson did on this picture seems to be the model for what a director should do (i.e. giving the material, design, actors room to breath and to allow the set to function as a dialectic). That he isn't being commended for this is a damn shame.

Its whats inside that counts! To truly appreciate this home, you must see the inside. Much has been updated! Currently being used as a single family home with four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, but could be converted back to an up and down duplex. First floor is large and open with hardwood floors throughout the living room, family room and dining room area, with built-in hutches you just dont see any more. Off the updated kitchen is an enclosed porch being used as a pantry for extra storage space. Relax in the summer on the front porch and by the living room gas fireplace on those chilly winter nights. Updates include new furnace 09, new water heater 08, second floor bathroom and electric service updated to a breaker panel. Close to town, schools, shopping and amenities. Dont just drive by! Schedule a showing soon.

Clothes are my canvas! Thread is my paint, a needle is my performance art and the sound a pair of scissors make is my music & my poetry. I'm the kind of artist who creates instinctively, demonstrating artistic intuition. Designing directly from improvision. Combining textiles of various prints
