CUMBERLAND -- Cumberland High head coach John Jasionowski admitted being both surprised and impressed when a representative of the American Cancer Society attended a state interscholastic tennis meeting last spring.
"She asked us if we wanted to have some kind of event for cancer awareness, and I thought it was a good idea," Jasionowski stated while his Clippers warmed up for a Division II crossover match against Classical on Tuesday afternoon.
CUMBERLAND -- Cumberland High head coach John Jasionowski admitted being both surprised and impressed when a representative of the American Cancer Society attended a state interscholastic tennis meeting last spring.
"She asked us if we wanted to have some kind of event for cancer awareness, and I thought it was a good idea," Jasionowski stated while his Clippers warmed up for a Division II crossover match against Classical on Tuesday afternoon.
"But things went so fast last spring during the boys' season, with postponements and other stuff, we didn't have an opportunity to do anything," he added. "Honestly, I had forgotten all about it until about four weeks ago."
One night, he was tossing a pink tennis ball to his dog, a Jack Russell/shih tzu mix named Rascal, when it dawned on him he had yet to assemble an event.
"A pop just went off in my mind; we didn't have a lot of time left in our season, and I knew October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month," Jasionowski said. "I called Steve Cohen, Classical's head coach, and asked him what he thought of having a special Breast Cancer Awareness tennis match when we played them.
"I knew he'd do it because Steve is amiable to anything," he continued. "I told him I wanted the girls to play with pink tennis balls, and he said, 'I can get them,' so I said I'd buy special pink tennis shirts for both of us to wear.
"We had a parents meeting a few weeks ago, and I told them we were doing this; Lola Duclos, one of the girl's moms, decided she wanted to do something, put together a fund. She said she had a couple of friends with breast cancer, and she wanted to honor them."
Jasionowski later drove to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation in Pawtucket and spoke with a woman about his plans.
"She just said, 'Great! I'll see what I can do,'" he mentioned. "The next thing I knew, she came back with a bag full of pink ribbon pins and enough pink headbands and wristbands for both teams. When I explained to the girls what we were doing, they were all for it, and that was fantastic.
"They're at the age where maybe they don't realize that breast cancer is a major issue with women, and that – hopefully not – they may well develop breast cancer themselves. My wife had a lumpectomy about 15 years ago, and thankfully it was benign. My mother-in-law also had a tumor removed from her breast, and she had to have radiation for a period of time. That was a tough time in our lives."
The good news on Tuesday: Lola Duclos indicated she had helped raise approximately $300 for research, and that the cash and checks would be delivered to the Gloria Gemma foundation soon.
The bad for Cumberland: Cohen's Purple played superbly and snared a 7-0 decision over the Clippers, who fell to 4-7 but are still chasing the final state playoff berth in Division II/Suburban A.
Classical, on the other hand, improved to 10-1 in D-II/Suburban B, and did so with three elementary triumphs at the final three singles spots.
Junior Lilika Negishi rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 verdict over sophomore Sara Laboissonniere at No. 2, while senior Ali Krekorian had to work for her 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 win over senior Brianna DeCesare at No. 3. Like Negishi, freshman Jessica Spindell lost only four games in a 6-3, 6-1 thumping of senior Bridget Connors.
That occurred after the Purple's senior tandem of Jackie Gomes and Maggie Metdick recorded a 6-1, 6-0 victory over senior Katie DeBlois and junior Sarah King, so Spindell's decision proved to be the game-clinching point.
"This is a rebuilding year because we graduated eight girls last year; believe it or not, we didn't win a match, and scored only five (team) points all season," Jasionowski noted. "Most of our losses were 7-0, so it's encouraging for us to have grabbed four wins this year.
"However, I have three seniors playing in three of the four singles slots, and one senior at No. 1 doubles," he continued. "The great thing is I have 20 freshmen and sophomores on the team, and just one junior, so next year some of these underclassmen will move up to singles, so we'll have experience for the next two or three years. That bodes well for us."
To give credit where it's due, senior No. 1 singles player Alexis Descoteaux exhibited stellar play before suffering a 7-5, 7-6 (5) defeat to sophomore Sachie Springwater, who improved to 10-1 on the campaign.
"She played her heart out," Jasionowski said of Descoteaux, who lost for only the second time at the top spot (8-2). "She was up in both sets, but Sachie came back and pulled it out. It was just one more rally for her. They were hitting long points, and the tiebreaker lasted a long time."
Classical also swept the final two doubles to garner the shutout, but neither were easy.
At No. 2, junior Bianca Donadio and senior Katerine Issa mustered a 6-1, 7-5 triumph over sophomore Taylor Duclos and frosh Natalie Cunningham, while the senior duet of Hannah Leheny and Diba Bijari eked out a 5-7, 6-3, 10-4 super-tiebreaker verdict over freshmen Alexis Delgado and Sydney Tilton.
"I didn't play well at all; this summer, I was playing at Abbott Run and I dislocated my knee while serving," Laboissonniere said. "It was achy, I think because the cold was affecting it. But I will say we were excited about having this special thing. It was for a good cause, and we all support fighting breast cancer.
"I mean, at least 90 percent of us know someone who has it. My grandmother didn't have breast cancer, but she did have lung cancer, and it was tough to get through. It affected everyone in my family."
Stated DeCesare: "We had never done anything like this before, and we all wanted to back it. My family really hasn't been affected by cancer, but I thought it was a great opportunity to support something so important as a team.
"As for how I played, I don't know," she continued. "(Krekorian) just got to me, and I became more inconsistent. It wasn't the (cloudy, chilly surroundings) because – actually – I enjoy playing in the cold. I don't sweat as much, and I also don't overheat."
King claimed her serving was off, perhaps because of the wind, but explained why her quality of tennis was secondary.
"(Losing) does make it easier because you know, if you put the effort into your match, you did for the cause, too," she stated. "I thought it was terrific, helping out the breast cancer foundation and bringing more awareness.
"Honestly, we spend so much time on these courts practicing and playing, after a while, it gets boring; you get sick and tired of it. But, when you have an event like this, throw something way beyond tennis into the mix, it's nice.
"I haven't specifically had cancer affect me, but my grandmother and great-grandmother have had breast cancer scares where they both had to have surgery," she added. "That was still scary. At that point, we didn't know how serious it was, but it's still definitely something that needs to be talked about more, beginning with us as teen-age girls."

MASSENA Using shovels made from aluminum, federal, state and local officials turned the first clumps of dirt Monday at Alcoas East Plant to kick off the companys more than $600 million expansion and modernization of its manufacturing facility here.
After years of uncertainty, delay and hurdles on the federal and state level, all thats left is to get shovels in the ground, champagne corks in the air and hundreds of new paychecks signed, sealed and delivered to Alcoa workers, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer said during the noon ceremony.
He was joined by other dignitaries including Alcoas U.S. Primary Products president, John D. Martin; Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffy, Rep. William L. Owens, state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, Massena Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray, New York Power Authority President and CEO Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA Trustee Eugene L. Nicandri, St. Lawrence County Legislature Chairman Jonathan S. Putney and Massena Mayor James F. Hidy.
The speakers agreed that making the project a reality was a combination of efforts among federal, state and local officials.
We all work as a team Democratic, Republican, state, federal and local, Mr. Schumer said.
He recounted the process that led them to Mondays ceremony. Mr. Schumer said that at the urging of local labor leader Ernest J. LaBaff, he had met with former Alcoa CEO Alain Belda, who laid out a vision for the company 15 years ago. It involved Alcoa getting cheaper hydropower from NYPA to expand its Massena operations and ultimately increase the number of jobs.
He reminded me that the best labor force Alcoa has is in the north country, Mr. Schumer said.
He said Mr. Belda had stressed the importance of low-cost power, which was available in other states such as Tennessee and Washington, and reminded him that Alcoas power contract with NYPA was set to be renewed. If it could get good a good contact with NYPA, Mr. Belda said, it could expand Massenas operations.
Mr. Schumer said he then met with former Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer and told him, You have to pay attention to the north country. He also arranged a meeting between Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Belda.
But then there was a transition both at Alcoa and at the state. Alcoas new chairman and CEO, Klaus Kleinfeld, continued talks with former Gov. David A. Paterson and a contract was signed between NYPA and Alcoa in January 2009 during a ceremony at the companys East Plant.
That meant power here was cheaper than all the other places, Mr. Schumer said.
This is one of the great days of the north country, and Im proud to have been playing a part in it, he said. Now we cross the finish line on this monumental and long-awaited expansion. You kept your word and that means a whole lot to us. Loyalty and dedication are always the name of the game for Alcoa.
Alcoa officials appeared just as pleased as north country politicians.
It has been a long time coming. This has been a long, hard road. We couldnt do it without our political friends and community friends, Mr. Martin said. Alcoa is pleased to work with the state of New York and the community to ensure that we remain an integral part of the north countrys economic development.
Alcoas expansion for their Massena facility is great news for the local community and will mean new jobs and economic development, Mr. Duffy said. From our states top-tier workforce to all the north country has to offer, New York state is a place that businesses can invest and grow, and we are pleased that Alcoa has chosen the Massena community to continue to create jobs and expand operations.
Mr. Duffy called the partnership and modernization and Alcoas decision to invest in the north huge, saving 1,000 local jobs in the process.
Its a huge boost for the north country. The north country needs jobs, he said, and, speaking of the workforce, said, Its the dedication and hard work you put forth that makes it easier for the company to stay.
Mr. Quinones said NYPA was happy to have been a part of keeping Alcoa in the community with expansion plans.
Its shows when government and business work together, great things can happen, he said. The North Country Economic Development Fund is also open for business and ready to accept applications in the near future.
Mr. Nicandri said Mondays groundbreaking has special meaning for him as a longtime Massena resident with friends and neighbors part of the Alcoa family.
From where I stand, the future looks bright, he said.
Also during the ceremony, Mr. Martin presented a $50,000 check to CITEC Inc. on behalf of the Alcoa Foundation. The grant to the Potsdam nonprofit economic development organization will be used to pilot a program that will help students obtain the necessary skills to qualify them for positions in north country manufacturing firms.
The goal of the initiative, called the North Country Manufacturing Readiness Program, is to help people qualify for higher-wage jobs and to help employers increase productivity and performance in their companies. The program is a partnership among CITEC, the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and local high schools.
Mr. Martin also presented a $10 million check to the North Country Economic Development Fund on behalf of Alcoa Inc. Massena Operations.
The modernization and upgrade of the facility, together with $10 million for a North Country Economic Development Loan Fund, were made possible under an agreement between Alcoa and New York state. The states commitment to supply 478 megawatts of low-cost electricity led to the companys investment and modernization plans and commitment to the long-term retention of nearly 1,000 jobs.
Under the contract, which was entered into in 2009, Alcoa committed to protect nearly 1,000 jobs at its Massena facilities and undertake capital investments of at least $600 million, of which $42 million is currently being spent on site preparation for a new aluminum production potline at the Massena East plant.

Despite the White House's mistaken impression that Obama can arm jihadist Syrian rebels without permission from Congress, media reports indicate that the administration is lobbying lawmakers for a green light after key congressional committees rebuked the president's deeply unpopular plan to send military aid to opposition forces in Syria. While members of Congress on both sides of the aisle fret about the potential for U.S. weapons to end up in the hands of al Qaeda and other terrorist groups currently fighting the Assad regime, the administration appears determined to go forward with its scheme.
Without any semblance of congressional approval, the Obama administration vowed last month to intensify its support and start overtly shipping military assistance to rebel forces — a coalition of mostly Sunni jihadists and designated terror groups backed by Western governments, Arab dictators, and the global establishment. U.S. officials claimed — implausibly, according to analysts and investigators — that the Syrian regime had deployed chemical weapons, which Obama had previously called a "red line."
As The New American reported in late June, Republican and Democrat lawmakers are seeking to restrain Obama, citing the U.S. Constitution and national security concerns about arming dubious rebel groups with well-documented links to al-Qaeda. Bi-partisan legislation has already been introduced in Congress aimed at stopping the administration from arming Syrian rebels. So far, however, the president has largely ignored lawmakers anyway, especially when it comes to foreign policy and unconstitutional wars.
According to a July 8 Reuters report citing "five U.S. national security sources," Congress might finally be putting its foot down. Both the Senate and House intelligence committees have apparently "expressed reservations behind closed doors," the news agency reported, saying Obama's controversial plot to deepen U.S. government involvement with weapons shipments to the opposition had been "delayed" by congressional reluctance. Now, top administration officials such as Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, and CIA boss John Brennan are reportedly lobbying hard to sway lawmakers.

I want platform (software) through which my site a customer could make a "gift" to another user by sending SMS. user received a SMS to any share (%) of the integral value of SMS. In my site accept payments for certain access to services by users, but could not make "gifts" from one user to another directly. What I want:
If a user sends SMS to € 5 then the operator will pay me (on my website) about 50%. (2,5 €) I will hold% of this amount, while the other will pay for the gift recipient. I currently use a similar service from Bulgarian operator, but it operates only on the territory of Bulgaria. I want to operate at least across Europe.
Not necessarily the platform to be integrated into my site. I think it's better to work independently regardless of my site. ( http://www.izneveri.com , http://www.catchme.us , http://www.vrachka.com...)

New Year's Day has passed but the Lunar New Year is still ahead (this year, it just happens to land on February 14 …… feisty lovers are sure to be on the prowl). The Lunar New Year in 2010 will mark the Year of the Tiger and Reebok is celebrating by releasing these tiger-inspired sneakers.
The first is the black Pump Omni Lite with sleek, glossy black over matte black tiger stripes and gold liner and embroidery for extra pop. The second is the Pump Fury with glossy red stripes against black matte textile material. Both look really fierce and while the Pump Fury actually resembles a tiger much more, I'd much rather wear the ninja-like Pump Omni Lites because …… well, who wouldn't rather be a ninja than a tiger?

Fire & water
Bill Everett, the Sub-Mariner, and the Birth of Marvel Comics
In 1939, brand-new Marvel's first ever comic book featured an anti-hero named the Sub-Mariner, created by legendary artist Bill Everett. From the superhero and horror genre, to romance, crime, and suspense, Bill Everett was a master of the medium. Blake Bell's follow-up to Strange & Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko, Fire and Water: The Sub-Mariner, and the Birth of Marvel Comics is the definitive biography of the man and his career. The main focus, however, will be the stunning display of artwork that few artists can match in breadth and quality, all on display in this coffee table art book that is destined to ensure Everett's place at the table of premier comic book virtuosos.

Biologists with the Division of Wildlife Resources moved 16 bighorn sheep from the Moab area to San Juan County recently.
The animals were relocated to prevent them from coming in contact with domestic sheep and goats. Domestic sheep often carry respiratory illnesses that can be lethal to wild bighorns. When a domestic herd comes in contact with a wild herd, these illnesses are easily transmitted. Even if only one bighorn becomes ill, the disease can spread through the entire herd.
The small herd that was relocated had been close to domestic animals in Castle Valley.
The sheep were released in John's Canyon on the San Juan River. The canyon offers excellent bighorn habitat and a permanent water source.
Much of the funding for the move was provided by the Utah Foundation for North American Wild Sheep.

|1.2 Miles To...
|Written by Steve Frank

Construction workers removed barrels blocking the outer two lanes of US 321 south of Blowing Rock Saturday morning, clearing the way for free travel for all but 1.2 miles of the southern end of the construction zone. Paving was complete on the segment on the Blackberry Road end of the project late in the week, allowing for the opening of the four lanes. Some shoulder lines remained to be painted in the segment Saturday. Just when the most southern end of the project will be complete remains to be seen. Work on the segment from Blackberry to the northern end of Main Street in Blowing Rock is set for next year.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
A Carbon County canine resident named Murphy received the national 2007 Gold Standard Award.
The Golden Retriever Club of America award is presented to canines who perform acts that enrich, inspire and contribute to the lives of individuals as well as communities.
Owned and trained by Nancy and Ernie Bentley, Murphy has been a volunteer at local elementary after school and nursing home programs for the past three years.
According to the Bentleys, the dog is well known throughout the community.
Murphy has made such an impact at Wellington Elementary, where the animal's trainer works, that the dog has been listed as official faculty for the past two years.
"I guess it is a sign of popularity when you have to re-order school photographs, not mine of course, but Murphy's," commented Nancy Bentley.
Murphy also visits the Price City Library, where he is a hit with the children since garnering his Delta Society certification three and one-half years ago.
"There is nothing like a chorus of more than 200 elementary children gleefully yelling, 'Murphy, over here, Murphy.' That is what greets us as we enter Wellington Elementary," explained Bentley. "Nothing makes him happier than being with kids, especially those who crave and need additional attention."
"Sure, he loves to go visit the local nursing homes and be told how beautiful he is, get extra attention and treats, but his true love is children," added the trainer.
The Delta Society's mission is to improve human health and learning by using therapy animals. In the 1990s, Delta built on the society's scientific and educational base to provide direct services at the local level.
The services include providing the first comprehensive training in animal-assisted activities and therapy to volunteers as well as health care professionals.
A significant advance was the development of the standards of practice in animal-assisted activities and animal-assisted therapy, which provides guidance in the administrative structure of these programs.
One of Delta's strengths continues to be the development of standards based training materials.
According to Bentley, trying to fit in the volunteering that will effectively use Murphy's training is never easy, especially because it includes baths for the dog prior to every visit.
But getting to witness the impact that Murphy has on all the people the canine comes in contact with makes the work worth the effort.
"He helps children learn in many different ways from empathy to concrete learning concepts, to teamwork building exercises such as the Concentration/Memory Games, Respectables - a game that teaches respect, and the String Measuring Project," pointed out Nancy Bentley.
Ernie Bentley reported that Murphy was required to stand in place for more than two hours while students from Wellington Elementary ran little hands and measuring tape all over his anatomy during the schools measuring project.
The project helps students with math concepts by using measurements of the dog to draw a mathematical diagram of the retriever on the ground.
"The patience that he shows is just amazing. He never gets bothered or impatient no matter how long he is required to do something," indicated Ernie Bentley.
During the last year, the couple decided to try Murphy's hand at rally work.
And the training turned out to be an immediate success.
"We started training in the middle of March and went to our first show in April. We qualified in every show and took home three blue ribbons, obtaining our rally advanced excellence title in September," explained Nancy Bentley.
"My friend likes to point out that I missed more points in the competition than the dog did. Murphy still does not understand the whys of rally competition, but when asked to do something he is always willing to follow through," she continued.
The Carbon County golden retriever has demonstrated success in all of the programs the dog has joined.
But one of the most significant testaments about the canine's power to help others comes from a story told about when Murphy was still a pup and had no official training.
"We brought him home at 10 weeks and took him to the local library so that he could get used to different noises and places. His beacon immediately went off and he headed over to where a 10-year-old boy was sitting off in a corner playing by himself in the children's room," recalled Nancy Bentley. "This little 10-week-old puppy pulls me over, lays down about two feet from the boy and with the boy continually glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, Murphy gently inched and crawled over to him."
"The boy looked sideways and reached out to touch Murphy. Murphy cuddled up to him and they sat that way for 10 minutes. The young boy had just lost his mother and was having difficulties with any type of communication, but Murphy gave him a start," added Nancy Bentley.
The canine has worked his way into the hearts of many people in the community and continues to spread the acknowledgment of the power of animal-assisted learning and therapy.
"With Murphy's guidance, volunteer programs are expanding into our areas of Utah, including the Uintah Basin and the Moab area, we couldn't be prouder of all he has accomplished," concluded Nancy Bentley.

Comments about Marmot ROM Jacket (Men's):
This is absolutely, hands-down, without a doubt my favorite jacket. If anything ever happens to my ROM, I'm going to buy three more of them just to be on the safe side. If I could give it six stars, I would do just that.
What is it? Well, it's a windproof hoody with a bunch of technical features -- pockets for ventilation, breathable side panels so you don't roast in it, adjustable cuffs and hood. It's tremendously comfortable and fits just like a regular hoody, but it works perfectly in a surprisingly wide range of temperatures. In spring and fall, you can wear it over a tech tee and it cuts the wind and provides enough warmth for most activities.
In legitimately cold weather (freezing or just above), I hike with nothing but a Capilene 2 or Capilene 3 base layer and my Marmot ROM jacket, which is both incredibly comfortable and incredibly breathable. The first time I tried that, I was honestly surprised at how warm the ROM kept me! It's seriously a swiss army knife, perfect for a very wide variety of non-precipitating conditions.
Most importantly, it breathes really well. You just never build up sweat inside this jacket, unless you're wearing a cotton t-shirt underneath (or it's just too warm for a jacket). It doesn't have pit zips because it flat-out doesn't need them; the side panels are really stretchy and breathable, and keep your body ventilated in places where you're already protected from the wind. "Body-mapping" and "air permeable" are trendy phrases right now, but Marmot has absolutely nailed it with the ROM.
This is the perfect solution for me when it comes to high-output activities in cold weather, and the hood just adds to the versatility. It's a much more comfortable hood than most hard shells, too.
Being a softshell, of course, you don't really want to wear it when it's raining or snowing because the fabric will wet out (even though the windproof laminate itself is basically waterproof). It doesn't have a DWR coating to bead up water. But if the skies are clear, for winter hiking or the approach to a climb or ski run, this is THE jacket to have... especially if the wind is ripping and you're going to be using some energy!

Hi, can anybody give me a hand? I have a script I'm trying to de-bug but it's like stumbling around in a coal shed looking for a black cat in the dark. I've managed to fine down the trouble area to a copying loop which selects by colour and pastes into a new layer. It does this for every colour so can build up quite a number of layers before it terminates. Some days it'll run 100 times out of 100 but sometimes it aborts part way through with the empty list error "Error: car: argument 1 must be: pair."
There appears to be no consistency in where it will stop - it could be on layer 4 or layer 40. I've tried it on several computers all running Gimp 2.6 and the frequency does seem to possibly be hardware related in that it fails more frequently on one computer. CPUs and memory are all similar spec.
If I was writing this in machine code I'd be looking for a stack overflow but with a script I just don't know where to look.
I would have thought that if a script runs once, it ought to run every time but it obviously isn't that simple. Are there instances where the "car" error can be thrown unpredictably?
Any assistance gratefully received.
I think this is a bug.
I have run into it before but can't find the workaround...
It involved sampling colours... OK found it:
(set! nextcolour (car (gimp-palette-entry-get-color inPalette (rand numcolours)))) ; random palette colour
(while (or (< (length nextcolour) 3) ; bug
(set! nextcolour (car (gimp-palette-entry-get-color inPalette (rand numcolours)))) ; random palette colour
So I found that the call to gimp-palette-entry-get-color inPalette didn't always return a triplet, and later calls would error, so I added the while check to keep trying until it worked.
Hope that helps.

If you post the code of your script, maybe some of us could suggest some optimizations.
When posting code, if you wrap [pre][/pre] tags around it (substituting less-than and greater-than characters for the square brackets) then it will be presented with the original formatting intact.
One trivial speedup would be to remove the 'cdr' expression from the following code; it is ignored by the interpreter (it is like (set! x 1 2) in that the "2" is completely ignored).
(set! colour (car (safe-gimp-image-pick-color image drawable x y FALSE FALSE 0)) (cdr (safe-gimp-image-pick-color image drawable x y FALSE FALSE 0)) )
One significant speedup to your code would be to use 'plug-in-grid' to render your grid lines, rather than manually selecting strips and filling them. It takes a little bit of effort to learn the parameters but in additional to speeding things up it would make your code much "cleaner".
Your script currently posterizes the original image to a maximum of 512 colors (8*8*8). If you were willing to accept 256 colors as your upper limit, a potential speed increase might be obtained by using 'gimp-image-convert-indexed' to create a quantized palette of all of the colors. This palette could then be used to create separate layers for each color, without having to resort to examining the color values in the image and without concerning yourself whether a particular cell has already been processed.
A few years back, I wrote a script which employs this separation of indexed images into layers (http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/GIMP/Scripts/indexed-decompose.scm) and I would be glad to help you incorporate the approach if you find the 256-color limitation acceptable.
Here is some code which performs the separation of the colors using 'gimp-image-convert-indexed'.
I would recommend against using Posterize because it can change the original colors much more drastically (indexing will use the original colors as much as possible). If you do indeed want to use Posterize, just do it before running 'separate-colors'. If you want to have your tapestry mapped to a predefined palette of colors (but not the ones predefined by Posterize), you can do that by modifying the call to 'gimp-image-convert-indexed'.
Note that all of the work is done on a temporary image (work-image) and then the resulting layers are transferred back to the original 'image'. This permits the original image to retain its mode and does not slow things down (duplicating an image is quite fast as long as you don't create a new display). I left out displaying progress bars because it would've made the code less readable; but you might consider adding them.
Each of the layers are named using its constituent colors (e.g., "RGB=[124, 57, 35]"). You may wish to change this (especially if you are using a predefined palette with properly named colors).
Be aware that running this function with a large 'number-of-colors' on a large image can quickly eat up memory. For example, 255 layers for a 2000x1000 pixel image will be well over 2 gigabytes. This is not a problem for fewer colors or for smaller images (or if you have lots of available memory).
(BTW, I'm not Rob. I don't mind the association, but Mr Antonishen might not consider it flattering :) )
(define (separate-colors image number-of-colors) (let* ((work-image (car (gimp-image-duplicate image))) (layer (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer work-image))) (colors '()) (layers '()) ) (gimp-image-undo-disable work-image) (unless (= (car (gimp-image-base-type work-image)) INDEXED) (gimp-image-convert-indexed work-image NO-DITHER MAKE-PALETTE number-of-colors 0 TRUE "") ) (set! colors (vector->list (cadr (gimp-image-get-colormap work-image)))) (while (pair? colors) (let ((new-layer (car (gimp-layer-copy layer TRUE))) (red (car colors)) (green (cadr colors)) (blue (caddr colors)) ) (gimp-by-color-select layer (list red green blue) ;; color 0 CHANNEL-OP-REPLACE FALSE 0 0 0 ;; Threshold=0, NO Feather, Layer Only ) (gimp-drawable-set-name new-layer (string-append "RGB=[" (number->string red) ", " (number->string green) ", " (number->string blue) "]") ) (gimp-image-add-layer work-image new-layer -1) (gimp-selection-invert work-image) (gimp-edit-clear new-layer) (set! layers (cons new-layer layers)) (set! colors (cdddr colors)) )) (while (pair? layers) (let ((new-layer (car (gimp-layer-new-from-drawable (car layers) image)))) (gimp-drawable-set-name new-layer (car (gimp-drawable-get-name (car layers)))) (gimp-image-add-layer image new-layer -1) (set! layers (cdr layers)) )) (gimp-image-delete work-image) ) )

Does this occur even if you don't separate the colors to separate layers? If it happens only when my code is executed then you might need to set the layer offsets after the new-layer has been copied from the 'work-image' to the original 'image' (in the last "while" loop).
Response to "February 9, 2011 - 13:46 — micomicon" (replies were nesting too much for my taste)
> What is the advantage of using vector>list instead of map?
vector->list is being used to convert the array of layer IDs to a list of layer IDs; this would still be necessary if 'map' were used to loop through the list instead of a 'while' block. I chose to use a 'while' loop (instead of 'map') for two reasons: I thought it would be more clear to someone new to Script-fu and using 'map' makes it a bit difficult to implement progress bars.
If I were coding for myself, I'd probably use a "named let" to loop through all of the layers. The rule-of-thumb I currently use is:
Use 'while' if looping through non-lists.
(while (< x 50) ... (set! x (+ x 1)) )
Use 'map' if looping through a single list and there are no other loop variables.
(map gimp-drawable-get-name '(layer1 layer2 layer3))
Use 'named let' for more complex looping through multiple lists, looping variables, or test conditions.
(set! target-position (car (gimp-image-get-layer-position image active-layer))) (let loop ((layers (vector->list (cadr (gimp-image-get-layers image)))) (above-layers '()) (below-layers '()) ) (if (null? layers) (list above-layers below-layers) ; return a list of two lists (let ((layer (car layers)) (current-position (car (gimp-image-get-layer-position image (car layers)))) ) (cond ((= current-position target-position) (loop (cdr layers) above-layers below-layers) ) ((< current-position target-position) (loop (cdr layers) (cons layer above-layers) below-layers) ) ((> current-position target-position) (loop (cdr layers) above-layers (cons layer below-layers)) )))))

The basic reason for doing the quantization on a separate image is because there is no "convert layer to indexed" command in the PDB and converting the entire image to indexed could result in irreversible changes being made to other layers. In your specific case -- as it is currently implemented -- this is not necessarily a problem, since your script is already doing its work on a newly created image and that new image only has one layer. Nonetheless, a more general approach is not a bad idea; it will facilitate improvements and reduce the potential for hard-to-detect problems in the future.
The large file sizes are to be expected with the current implementation. Basically, how much memory a layer uses is determined by the layer's dimensions; an extracted color layer that is entirely transparent except for one pixel will require just as much memory as your original layer.
You can potentially reduce the file size by performing an autocrop on the color layer after copying it from the work image to your final image.
Be aware that 'plug-in-autocrop-layer' does not behave as one might initially expect. The filter will modify the active layer based upon the contents of the layer passed as the third argument to the procedure. To avoid insidious problems when using the filter, it is a good idea to explicitly activate the layer you want changed before calling the procedure.
(gimp-image-set-active-layer image target-layer) ; target-layer is the layer being resized (plug-in-autocrop-layer RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image source-layer) ; source-layer is usually the same as the layer being resized
This is a feature (not a bug), but it is not documented very well (and is somewhat unintuitive).
Note: a slightly better solution would be to autocrop your extracted color layers before copying them from the work image (this will preserve more of your UNDO history); though if you do this then you'll have to change the offsets of the copied layers to match the offsets they had in the work image. This is not particularly important and I don't think you should worry about such optimizations at this point in your scriptwriting.

The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis). It is named for Carlos Chagas, the Brazilian doctor who first identified the disease in 1909. The feces of insects called triatomine, or "kissing" bugs, transmits the parasite to people. These bugs feed on the blood of animals and people at night, and then they defecate. If people unknowingly wipe the feces into their eyes, nose, mouth, or a sore, they can get sick.
The insects are usually found in rural Latin America, in places of widespread poverty. Experts believe that as many as 11 million people in South and Central America and Mexico have the disease. Most don't know they have it. The disease will not go away without treatment and can eventually lead to death. People in North America also have the illness, but in much smaller numbers. However, the disease is spreading as people travel more widely.
In addition to contact with feces from infected bugs, the following events can also cause you to get Chagas disease:
Blood transfusion
Organ transplant
Birth (mother-to-baby)
Exposure in the lab
You cannot get Chagas disease from another person, the way you can get a cold or the flu from someone else. You have to be exposed to the bug feces on your own, even if someone in your family has the disease. However, you could get the disease if you receive blood, or an organ, from a family member or anyone else with the infection.
Symptoms of Chagas vary and might be difficult to distinguish from another illness. In some people, symptoms may be mild at first and then disappear for years or even decades. In the chronic phase of the disease, the parasite gets inside your heart muscle. This is why later symptoms often involve the heart.
Symptoms of Chagas disease in the acute phase (the first few weeks or months) are:
Mild flu-like symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, body aches, and headaches
Loss of appetite
Swelling or a sore near the eye or on the side of the face where the bite or infection occurred (visible in fewer than half of infected people)
Enlarged glands
Symptoms of Chagas disease in the chronic (or long-term) phase may include:
Heart failure
Abnormal heart rhythm
Difficulty eating
Difficulty passing stool
You're most at risk for Chagas disease if you:
Have visited or traveled in rural Central or South America
Have been exposed to the blood products, or received organs, from someone infected with Chagas disease
To diagnose the condition, your doctor will consider:
Your overall health and medical history
Your description of symptoms
Your travel history (because Chagas is often, though not always, caught in Central or South America)
A physical exam
Lab blood tests
Heart function tests, such as an electrocardiogram
Early treatment for Chagas disease is the most successful. Recommended treatment may include:
Antiparasitic medication, which you may need for up to two months
Continued monitoring of your heart function
Treatment of complications, such as arrhythmia
People who are immune-compromised, such as those who have HIV or AIDS, may need additional treatment. Chagas disease can be more severe in people with these conditions and may lead to earlier death.
If you have Chagas disease, you have about a 30 percent chance of developing complications.
Complications include:
Infected heart muscle (myocarditis)
Brain infection (meningoencephalitis)
Enlarged heart
Enlarged esophagus
Enlarged colon
If you are planning to visit rural areas in Central or South America, choose clean, well-built lodgings. Ask about pest management where you are staying. Consider using bed nets, wearing long sleeves and pants, and using bug repellant day and night.
Chagas disease is not an emergency. However, its effect on the heart and intestines might lead to an emergency. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of heart failure, such as shortness of breath, ongoing coughing, tiredness, confusion, and speeding heart rate.
Follow your health care provider's recommendations for taking care of yourself, including taking medications as prescribed. Go to recommended follow-up medical visits and tests.

HOUSTON —For 20 minutes Saturday night, the Thunder seemed to be sleepwalking.

HOUSTON —For 20 minutes Saturday night, the Thunder seemed to be sleepwalking.
The defense was dreadful. The offensive was all over the place.
The Thunder just didn't seem interested in performing its principles and instead played Houston's preferred pace.
But when Oklahoma City woke up, boy, was it a thing of beauty.
A four-minute surge was all it took for the Thunder to run the Rockets out of their own gym and secure a 124-94 victory inside the Toyota Center.
Oklahoma City outscored Houston 16-0 in the final four minutes of the second quarter, opening an 18-point halftime lead that was too large for the Rockets to mount anything that looked remotely close to a comeback.
"The first quarter, we were just going back and forth until one team decided to play defense," said Russell Westbrook. "And that was us."
The Thunder went on to lead by as many as 34 points before recording its largest road win since 2009. The strong finish, in light of a handful of sloppy ones this season, was worth appreciating on its own. Houston never got closer than 13 in the second half and trailed by at least 20 throughout the final 20 minutes.
"It's important to keep building on your habits," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "You can't play the scoreboard. It's easier said than done … I thought our guys did a good job closing out the game. We held them under 40 percent and that's really good against the Rockets."
But back to those final four minutes of the second quarter.
The Thunder forced the Rockets into turning it over five times while hounding Houston into missing all six of its shots over that span. OKC capitalized by turning those five turnovers into nine points, going 5-for-6 in that same four-minute stretch.
"Just the activity with our hands," Brooks said. "We were using our length, we were getting into the passing lanes, we were contesting every pass and getting into the basketball. And that's what happens. When you put a player under duress you have a chance to turn it over. If you don't have any pressure on them, there's no chance to turn them over."

Survey on the attitudes of Europeans towards tourism - Wave 3 (May 2011) Δημοσιεύθηκε στις: 18/02/2013, Τελευταία ενημέρωση: 19/02/2013
- Συντάκτης:
- The Gallup Organization.
This Flash Eurobarometer "Survey on the attitudes of Europeans towards tourism" (No 328) has beenconducted at the request of Directorate General Enterprise and Industry in the 27 EU Member States and in five additional countries: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Norway and Iceland.
The objectives of this survey were to study:
• respondents' travel profiles in 2010 – "short private" or holiday trips
• the reasons why respondents did not go on holiday in 2010
• the characteristics of citizens' main holiday trip in 2010 (e.g. method of transport used)
• the financial aspects of taking a holiday (e.g. how to save money while being on holiday)
• various attitudes of citizens towards tourism (e.g. their preferred holiday destinations)
• respondents' vacation plans for 2011.
In February 2009 and 2010, similar Flash Eurobarometers were conducted (No 258 & 291)1 in the 27 EU Member States; the three waves of the survey asked EU citizens about their holidays in 2008, 2009 and 2010 as well as their vacation plans for for 2009, 2010 and 2011. The current report presents comparative data between those three waves.

CANTON After the collapse of the fire-damaged steeple of St. Lawrence Universitys Gunnison Memorial Chapel, the college has begun to secure the site, cope with the destruction and plan the rebuilding of the Canton landmark.
The steeples collapse came just over 24 hours after Sunday mornings fire, which investigators say was caused by an electrical malfunction.
A wedding scheduled for this weekend has been relocated to a church in Potsdam, just one of many events that will have to find a new location after the blaze. The chapel has been fenced off to prevent danger to any onlookers, and officials are still waiting to see just how bad the damage is to the 87-year-old building.
The steeples collapse was predicted by engineers and architects from Beardsley Design Associates, Auburn, who were working on the campus to help assess and mitigate the damage caused by Sunday mornings fire. The steeple fell safely, and there were no injuries.
The college planned to get a crane Monday to remove the rest of the steeple, but high winds delayed these efforts.
The fire started about 5 a.m. Sunday, during the colleges family weekend. Fire investigators believe it was caused by an electrical mishap.
We have basically ruled out all other possibilities at this time, St. Lawrence County Fire Investigator W. Joseph Lacks said.
According to Mr. Lacks, the fire started in the bell tower and was quickly swept up by air currents toward the steeple.
The fire path basically got sucked right up into the bell tower, he said.
Investigators also looked into whether fireworks launched nearby Saturday night could have started the blaze, but determined that the celebration played no part in Sunday mornings fire. They are expected to finish their report soon.
Meanwhile, college officials continue to plan how to proceed after Sundays destruction.
Right now were trying to keep the area safe, and were trying to get the steeple off the top of the building and clean up the inside of the chapel itself, college spokesman Ryan P. Deuel said. We still have some cleanup to do before we know exactly what kind of repair work were looking at.
The inside of the chapel suffered water damage during the firefighting effort.
College facilities personnel will attempt to use a bucket lift to remove the remainder of the debris, rather than using a crane.
Once the damaged portion has been removed, workers will construct a temporary roof to prevent further damage to the inside of the chapel.
When the immediate risks are removed, the college will start to look toward reconstruction.
Our goal is to restore the building to its original state, Mr. Deuel said.
First the school will have to cut through plenty of red tape. A building inspector will have to look at the extent of the damage, as will an agent from Travelers Insurance.
Its going to be a top priority for the campus, Mr. Deuel said.
Events and services will be relocated until the damage is repaired. The chapels bells were mostly undamaged, but with no tower in which to ring them, the college will use an electronic recording to keep up with tradition.
The chapel first opened in 1926.

According to Shane Baggs, the director of operations for Precis Communications the load is believed to be illegal as it was being carried at night and clearly exceeded the permitted 17.6 foot maximum, as Precis' cable is 18-feet above the roadway. Residents in West Helper were without Internet and cable television for 24 hours as the repairs were underway. "We did very well considering we had to string the line across the highway," Baggs said. He also said that both UDOT and the Utah Highway Patrol are trying to discover who it was that tore the line down and kept going.
