*It Could Have Been a Wonderful Life Bannam Place Theater, 50A Bannam Pl; 986-4607. Call for price. Opens Fri/25, 8pm. Runs Fri-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 3pm. Through Dec 29. Fred Raker's 25-in-one-man show back after a successful run last year charts the despair of aspiring Jewish comedian Phil Resnick, who winds up pigeonholed on public television while the life he could have had goes to an Anglo American-ized colleague, the host of TV's What's Up with That, America? The crisis provokes a little divine intervention by Phil's guardian angel, Jack Benny. Based on Raker's own brush with stardom as well as the Capra classic, this very funny solo performance cleverly weaves Jewish identity and self-doubt into nothing less than a wonderful 75 minutes. (Avila)

The Wind Cries Mary San Jose Repertory Theatre, Sobrato Auditorium, 101 Paseo de San Antonio, San Jose; (408) 367-7262. $20-48. Previews Wed/23-Thurs/24, 8pm (also Wed/23, noon). Opens Fri/25, 8pm. Runs Sat/26, Oct 29-31, Nov 1-2, 5-9, 12-16, 8pm (also Sat/26, Nov 2, 9, 16, 3pm; Nov 13, noon); Sun, 2, 7pm. Through Nov 17. See Critic's Choice.

La Bohème Curran Theatre, 445 Geary; 512-7770, www.ticketmaster.com. $40-90. Tues-Sat, 8pm (also Wed, Sat-Sun, 2pm). Through Nov 10. See "Bohemian Rhapsody," page 48.
'The Fear Project' The Next Stage, 1620 Gough; 673-0304. $15-20. Thurs-Sat, 8pm. Through Nov 2. Combined Art Form Entertainment opens another season of multimedia theater with a timely triplet of stories. The first, a production of Ray Bradbury's short story The Veldt, is a rich, evocative, and fun tale by a master of the genre. In Pinch, writer-director Dan Wilson's clever riff on some classic anxiety dreams, Emily Rosenthal plays a woman awaking from one nightmare into another in a wonderfully funny and subtle performance. 500 Synonyms for Fear, a collaborative effort directed by Emily Pender, is the least consistent of the three. But along with rough edges come some inspired moments which add life to a thoughtful critique of the interplay between the manipulation of public fears, marketing, and the corporate media. (Avila)
'Hysterics' Phoenix Theatre, 414 Mason; 431-8423, www.kaliyuga.com. $12-20 (Mon/28, Nov 4, pay what you can). Thurs-Sat, 8pm; Mon/28, Nov 4, 7:30pm. Through Nov 16.

Killing My Lobster Circus of Failure A Traveling Jewish Theater, 470 Florida; 558-7721, www.killingmylobster.com. $10-15. Thurs-Sun, 8pm. Through Nov 10. The comedy troupe presents a new show that takes on "total and abject failure."
The Last Taboo Teatro Esperanza, 2940 Capp; (510) 524-3218. $10. Fri/25, 9pm; Sat/26, 8 and 10pm; Sun/27, 4pm. Playwright Richard Talavera stars in and directs this comical tale of a playwright's attempt to "write" a few wrongs. If it sounds a bit self-referential, it is. Robert (Talavera), a wisecracking nonconformist, involves his more conventional brother Ray (Joaquin Edward Rodriguez) in a scheme to launder some dirty money by producing a play. Robert's strained relationship to his ethnic roots, including his Spanish-speaking mother (Rocky Haro), finds a self-destructive release in his "plot" to take political revenge on some right-wing extremists, anti-Sandinista beneficiaries of the Iran-Contra scandal. Fact and fiction become hopelessly blurred, however, as Robert's play comes to mirror real life a bit too closely, and he ends up taking the rap for a crime that may or may not have been committed. Talavera's playful, absurdist, rather free approach leads to a lot of competing impulses as the muddled plotline makes its circuitous way home, only some of which seem worth the trouble. Still, Talavera's suggestion that the pursuit of justice entails some serious play, while the business of law and order amounts to just playing around, has an anarchist ring of truth about it. (Avila)
*Lavender Lockeroom Theatre Rhinoceros, 2926 16th St; 861-5079. $20-25. Thurs/24-Sat/26, 8pm; Sun/27, 7pm. Theater Rhinoceros and the irrepressible Hot Pants Homo Players relaunch writer-director F. Allen Sawyer's ribald, lighthearted high school comedy about a closeted gay teen running the gamut of hectoring family members, school bullies, and his first romance. It's the last in a trilogy of works by Sawyer that reclaims the gay pulp novels of the 1950s, and the genre squirms delightedly under the playwright's satirical thumb. Sawyer is the gay pornographic litterateur's Judy Bloom. Moreover, an altogether exceptional ensemble cast, featuring Tara Blau, Isaac Brantner, Arturo Galster, Sandra Schlechter, and Michael Soldier, and led by David Bicha as the troubled but otherwise happy-go-lucky Vern, flies out of the gate with well-honed performances that swing along and I do mean swing at an invigorating clip. Like the pulp material inspiring it, the play may come up aesthetically short compared with more sophisticated fare, but such balls-out performances (and Sawyer's contagious way with the poetry of smut) at least offer stiff competition in the end. (Avila)
Master of the (Miss) Universe New Conservatory Theatre Center, 25 Van Ness; 861-8972. $15-25. Wed/23-Sat/26, 8pm; Sun/27, 2pm. Noel Alumit stars in his solo show, a gay Filipino man's take on the world of beauty pageants.
R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe Project Artaud Theater, 450 Florida; 626-DOME, www.foghouse.com. $20-40 (Wed/23 and first Wed of each month, pay what you can). Wed-Sat, 8pm (also Sat, 3pm); Sun, 2pm. Open-ended. D.W. Jacobs' solo play about the inventor-philosopher returns to San Francisco, with original star Ron Campbell.
Serious Money Zeum Theater, Yerba Buena Gardens, Fourth at Mission; 749-2228, www.act-sfbay.org. $10-15. Thurs/24-Fri/25, Oct 30, Nov 1-2, 8pm (also Nov 2, 2pm); Sat/26-Sun/27, 2pm. Through Nov 2. The American Conservatory Theater's MFA program presents Caryl Churchill's play about greed. Set in London in the late 1980s, following the deregulation of the British stock exchange, the play depicts a world where dealers and traders ruthlessly cheat and backstab their way to the top. The play is the perfect acting exercise: it's written in verse, the students get to try out their English accents, and there are even a few song-and-dance numbers for good measure. Unfortunately, the inconsistent accents are mostly distracting, the plot is tedious, and the characters are so uniformly despicable that one quickly loses all interest in them. (Shalson)
*Snake in the Basement: The Prosecution of Rev. Bill Pruitt and Brace Yourself Exit on Taylor, 277 Taylor; 673-3847. $12-18. Snake runs Fri, 8pm; Brace runs Sat, 8pm. Through Nov 2. Liebe Wetzel and her Lunatique Fantastique's Brace Yourself is, quite simply, a lovely piece of theater. Employing such everyday objects as a few pots, some pairs of shoes in various sizes, a cane, and an old-fashioned leg brace, the cast of black-clad puppeteers perform the not-so-simple feat of infusing these items with breathtaking life to tell the story of one man (Wetzel's father) and his experience with polio. From the onset of the disease in childhood to the paralysis suffered later on, the objects portray a life haunted by iron lungs and the specter of a waiting wheelchair, but also one blessed by love, romance, and children. It is astonishing how expressive and moving household paraphernalia becomes in the capable hands of these performers, who embellish the atmosphere with wordless murmurs and other small sounds. Brace performs in repertory with Snake in the Basement, a piece about a pastor accused of child molestation. (Shalson)
Some Like it Hot Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor; 512-7770. $34-77. Wed-Sat, 8pm (also Wed, Sat, 2pm); Sun, 2pm. Through Nov 3. Tony Curtis stars (though not in the same role he made famous in the movie) in the new musical comedy.
Soup of the Day The Marsh, 1062 Valencia; 826-5750. $15-25. Extended run: Wed/23-Thurs/24, Sat/26, 8pm. Charlie Varon brings back his solo show, a mix of political satire, stand-up comedy, character monologues, and more.
Spike Rhee's Get on the Bus Noh Space, 2840 Mariposa; 440-5545. $12-15. Thurs/24-Sat/26, 8pm; Sun/27, 7pm. Ever lie awake at night wondering what Bruce Lee would look like if he were alive today? Or what it might be like to make love to him? In Spike Rhee's Get On The Bus, Asian American comedy troupe 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors pay homage to the kung fu king by evoking his spirit in a variety of lurid ways. Squashed together on a mysterious bus tour bound for Lee's tomb, a bunch of misfits let loose their inner Bruce, and we learn something about the Asian American experience in the process. While the tightly knit, energetic performers focus on exploding cultural stereotypes with alternating sarcasm, slapstick, and plain silliness, the characters they depict rarely rise above cliché. From the cheap landlady to the cell phone-obsessed sex addict, the clumsily connected sketches are more infantile than intelligent. The show's Lee-inspired mantra might be "The destination is not important; what's important is the journey," but it would be nice to feel as if we were going somewhere. (Veltman)
Starting Here, Starting Now Bethany Theatre, 1268 Sanchez; 701-7011. $12-15. Fri/25-Sat/26, 8pm; Sun/27, 2pm. Bethany Theatre Project presents the play by Maltby and Shire.
The Train Play or the Reckless Ruthless Brutal Charge of It Exit Theatre, 156 Eddy; 675-5995. $10-25. Fri-Sat, 8pm. Through Nov 10. In Crowded Fire's West Coast premiere of Liz Duffy Adams's comic ride, eight passengers more or less deliberately fleeing themselves revel in the opportunities travel brings. The careening journey through the American heartland provides refuge for all, never mind that the final destination may be the end of the world. The material is uneven: some internal monologues, while short, can grow tedious. But in the end Adams, a young New York-based playwright, gets us where we need to go. Crowded Fire's production of this playful derailment of American dreams and apocalyptic nightmares proves that the company, anyway, is on track. (Avila)
Bay Area
The Dark at the Top of the Stairs The Playhouse, 27 Kensington, San Anselmo; (415) 892-8551. $10-18. Thurs-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 2pm. Through Nov 3. Marin Classic Theatre presents William Inge's tale of small-town life in the 1920s.
*The Syringa Tree Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, Castro at Mercy, Mountain View; (650) 903-6000, www.theatreworks.org. $20-45. Tues, 7:30pm (no show Tues/29); Wed-Sat, 8pm (also Sat/26, Nov 2, 2pm); Sun, 2pm (also Sun/27, 7pm). Through Nov 3. South African writer-actor Pamela Gien's Obie award-winning one-woman play makes its regional theater debut in a striking production directed by Larry Moss. Six-year-old Elizabeth (Gin Hammond, alternating nights with Eva Kaminsky) narrates her childhood in a Johannesburg suburb, where she lives with her parents, her brother, and their black housekeeper, whose baby girl is an unofficial presence they must hide from view. Under Moss's exacting eye, Hammond delivers a powerhouse performance, calculated to shift effortlessly between an often shrill little protagonist and a number of wholly distinct characters, both white and black. Through them emerges a subtle portrait of racism's social and psychological toll. Scenic designer Kenneth Foy and lighting designer Steven B. Mannshardt evoke great vistas and changing seasons with a remarkable play of lights against a variegated canvas at the back of the stage, whose only other prop is a swing depending from an invisible tree, the site and symbol of Gien's interconnected story. Because Lizzy merely describes what she witnesses through a child's eyes, the audience does the interpreting. It's a disarming way of drawing the spectator inside this compelling, invariably human family drama. (Avila)

'Art That Moves II' Cell Space, 2050 Bryant; 642-7273, email@example.com. Sat, call for time. Free. Qbox hosts this festival of mechanical, kinetic, and electronic arts.
'Avatars' DNA Lounge, 375 11th St; 1-866-468-3399. Thurs, 8pm. $15-18. The industrial backdrop of SOMA nightspot the DNA Lounge is the ideal setting for Avatars, an engulfing theatrical expedition into the beeping soul of the video game by San Francisco-based performance group Capacitor. Mixing a booming electronic score, swooping lights, clublike visuals, and salacious costumes with a cocktail of live performance styles from capoeira and classical ballet to juggling and acrobatics, Avatars depicts the realm of the video game as the final frontier of heroism a world where players can outdo their everyday potential at the click of a button. The experience, at least after the intermission, is similarly captivating for the audience. Following 40 minutes' preamble, in which a white jumpsuit-clad cyberpunkette performs an ill-conceived solo and the game's five "characters" fire, earth, water, wood, and metal engage in orgiastic bouts of visually beautiful if thematically overlabored dance, Avatars resoundingly comes into its own. The second half, with its razor-sharp combat sequences, which expertly integrate live action with video-projected motion capture, makes us want to jump into the game. (Veltman)

Pentax K30 and K5 vs Canon T41 (650D) and Nikon 5100

Both the K-5 and the K-30 are weather resistant (WR) so it may be prudent to match the bodies with a WR lens. The DA18-135 is a decent lens and is WR, while the others you've mentioned come in WR versions and non-WR versions. I believe the K-30 kit lenses are non-WR except for the kit that includes the 18-135. Were I buying one of these two, I'd opt for the K-5 because video isn't important to me. So I'd suggest looking at the specs of the two and going with whichever better meets your needs.

Bobby D. Charles, 27, of Alexandria, was arrested on an attempted murder charge Friday, a day after Alexandria Police responded to a residence in the 1300 block of Levin Street.

The victim is in "guarded" condition at a local hospital, police said.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Technical briefing: 3D printing/additive manufacturing — selective laser sintering
Ogle Models & Prototypescontact supplier
'3D printing/additive manufacturing — selective laser sintering'
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an accurate powder-based additive manufacturing process that can be used for both prototyping and small-batch production applications without the need for extensive tooling. Parts can be built in a range of nylon materials. One advantage of laser sintering is that it is fully self-supporting and can build highly complex geometry. Ogle Models and Prototypes has been working with laser sintering since 2000.

KeynotePro releases Palo Alto 2 Themes
updated 12:10 pm EDT, Mon May 29, 2006
Palo Alto 2 Keynote Themes
KeynotePro has released Palo Alto 2 Themes, its technically minded, "bright and modern" approach of the original Palo Alto theme. The new theme offers a more flexible framework, additional master slide options, and HD variations. "Palo Alto 2 is a supremely adaptable general-purpose theme, with a clean, business-casual aesthetic - equally at home with shareholder reports and abstract art. The core of the design - sharp contrasts of color and whitespace, with a blend of reversed and neutral type - is surrounded by a visible framework of structure and subtle visual accents." Palo Alto 2 is available for download in a Pro Edition that includes Palo Alto 2 HD for $30, or in a bundle with two other Pro Edition themes for $75. A Standard edition which includes the standard 4:3 version is available for $20, or in a Bundle with two other themes for $50. Palo Alto 2 requires Keynote 3.0 or later, and the Helvetica Neue font face.
The Palo Alto theme framework introduces a platform-style framework enabling users to customize nearly every aspect of the theme's coloration with modifications to the slide background, or via simple shape objects pushed behind the platform layer.
Master slide library
The Palo Alto 2 master slide library now offers 33 slides in the Standard version, or 52 in the Pro/HD version to include more variations on layouts from the original. Palo Alto 2 HD, available only in the new Palo Alto 2 Pro Edition, expands the style into HD format with 16:9 and 16:10 versions of the new theme optimized specifically for HD presentations.
Registered users of the original Palo Alto Theme can update to Palo Alto 2 for free, while Palo Alto Standard Edition owners can upgrade to the new Pro (HD) Edition for at a discount.

Eagle projects help preserve nature, history
November 20, 2013
By Karen Ravensbergen (USAG Wiesbaden)
WIESBADEN, Germany - Identifying community service projects to earn Boy Scouting's highest honor, Eagle Scout, can be a challenge in Europe. But with patience and persistence, these projects can be rewarding.
Two Scouts from Wiesbaden's Troop 107 recently completed ambitious projects that will leave a lasting impact.
Eagle-candidate Kristopher Smith and a supportive crew of 33 volunteers restored a local fruit orchard in Breckenheim.
"This orchard had not been taken care of in over five years," said Smith, explaining that he and his fellow volunteers removed undergrowth, bushes, weeds, grass and various small trees.
Smith faced several challenges. "I learned there are laws restricting chainsaw use during the summer," he said, "and so the project was pushed back to October.
"During the first weekend of the project, cold rain poured down, forcing us to question the use of electric chainsaws," Smith said, "and so I had to cancel our first weekend of work in early October. Thankfully, the following weekend was dry, and I had a huge turnout of volunteers, enabling us to accomplish a tremendous amount of work."
Smith explained that while adult volunteers handled dangerous equipment such as chainsaws, younger Scouts did use saws and pruning shears. "During this project," said Smith, "I learned that kids like sharp things … so safety was of chief importance because sharp things don't like kids.
"I tried to be an active and directive leader," Smith added. "I discovered my strengths including wit, patience and the ability to influence others."
Smith thanked Dietrich Kröger, a member of the Streuobstverein Wiesbaden, Scoutmaster Jeff Stone, his parents, Krystin and Scott Smith, and other volunteers for their support.
"We are so proud of Kris," said his mother, Krystin. "He could have done an easier and smaller project, but he chose this one, and accomplished it while still doing his schoolwork and other extracurricular activities."
For his project, Eagle Scout candidate Cameron Noble supervised volunteers at the Sergeant York Historic Trail in Chatel Chehery, France. This trail is a central part of the BSA Meuse-Argonne Historic Trail which covers an area where 1.2 million Americans fought and served in 1918 under the command of General John J. Pershing.
More than 14,000 Americans are buried at the nearby Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery.
The trail, located west of the French town of Verdun, includes the location where Sgt. Alvin C. York captured 132 German Soldiers, helping him earn the Medal of Honor.
Noble was inspired to work on the project after having been involved in a couple of similar past Scout projects on the trail. Working with Col. Douglas Mastriano of the the Sergeant York Discovery Expedition his improvement project included replacing rotten or missing wood barriers along the trail, replacing wooden steps and upgrading areas impacted by erosion.
Recruitment proved to be a challenge because of the distance and having to camp in cold, wet conditions typical for early November. "I had to present this project in a way that would entice younger Scouts and peers to participate," he said. Fortunately, he received the support of senior Scouts and Venture Crew members, in addition to adult volunteers and some younger Scouts.
Noble's mother Grace said her son had some anxiety about the project. "When 'D-Day' arrived, Cameron was going through every possible scenario in his mind," she said. "What if no one shows … what if we can't finish in one weekend … will I be able to get support for a second weekend? Fortunately he arrived at the camp site to see everyone waiting and excited to get to work."
After seven hours of labor, Noble said he was pleased with the results -- but he had more plans for the group. 'Not only work, but play time' is part of my philosophy," Noble said. "I scheduled time to tour the museum in Meuse-Argonne where you can see all kinds of military equipment, and have a good sandwich too."
The tour included a chat with museum owner, Jean Paul, who maintains a collection of patches from all of the Scout troops that have visited .. "and now he has one from Troop 107," Noble said.
"I could not have done it without my parents' support and encouragement," he said.
The work of Boy Scouts in Europe to preserve and maintain the Sgt. York trail is documented on the website http://sgtyorkdiscovery.com/York_Trail.php.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks GM: Upton trade good for player, team
Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said all along he was not necessarily looking to move Justin Upton.
A guest of Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday, Towers even said he didn't expect anything to happen as recently as a couple days ago.
"I would have said 72 hours ago Justin Upton would have started the season as a Diamondback, we had pretty much exhausted everything after the Seattle deal fell through," Towers said. "In the last 48 hours Prado came into the deal, Ahmed came into the deal."
Towers said those players were not offered by the Braves before, and their inclusion into the talks led to the trade that was made Thursday. In exchange for Upton and infielder Chris Johnson the D-backs will receive infielder/outfielder Martin Prado, starting pitcher Randall Delgado, shortstop Nick Ahmed, pitcher Zeke Spruill and infielder Brandon Drury.
The GM, who's had a busy offseason, said he's not necessarily in the business of "winning the deal", but instead hopes both teams benefit. He certainly believes his did.
"Martin Prado, an unsung hero over there in Atlanta," he said. "I've looked at him a lot from the other side and I'm glad he's wearing our uniform now."
Prado, 29, hit .301 with 10 home runs and 70 RBI for the Braves last season. He was an All-Star in 2010, and has the ability to play many different positions.
"He's got Gold Glove votes at second, at third, in left; he's had MVP votes, he's been an All-Star," Towers said. "Just a baseball player."
Towers compared Prado's mindset to that of current D-backs Gerardo Parra, Miguel Montero and Aaron Hill, saying he's "a grinder" who fans will enjoy watching play baseball.
However, a lot of fans enjoyed watching Upton.
A former number one overall selection, Upton is a two-time All-Star who has also earned MVP votes. And while he had a down year last season, he is still viewed as a player with an enormous amount of potential.
Towers understands that, but admits it would have been tough for Upton to return to Arizona after the team tried to trade him.
"I'm sure those questions, he would have wanted to focus and get ready to play," Towers said. "But with his teammates, and when it comes to playing and performing, I never ever questioned his desire to play and to compete."
That said, Towers believes Upton — as well as the team — could each benefit from a change. The player gets to play in Atlanta with his brother, and the D-backs are able to move on from an era that was filled with as much disappointment as excitement.
"This kid was brought up at a very young age, he has a lot of talent. A lot was put on his shoulders very early as kind of the face of the franchise, expectations through the roof," Towers said. "It's hard to live up to that when you're 22 and 23 and 24 years old.
"I think going to a place where he'll blend in, be able to play with a lot of good players, a new face, didn't come up through their system, I think it will be better for Justin. And I think it will be better for our organization, as well."

A new report from the International Maritime Bureau has revealed a sharp rise in maritime piracy cases in which seafarers have been killed, injured, kidnapped and assaulted.
According to the IMB, the first six months of 2006 witnessed a total of 127 attacks on shipping throughout the world – the same figure as in the first half of last year.
There were 74 cases in which ships were boarded by pirates, and 11 in which ships were hijacked. A total of 156 crew were taken hostage, 13 crew kidnapped and six crew killed.
NUMAST says the statistics underline the continuing need for concerted action to combat piracy and the wider threat of terrorist attacks on shipping. At a time when a Hollywood movie is topping the charts, the Union has backed the IMB in pointing to the 'brutal reality' of present-day piracy.

Poisoning by lead is a rare occurrence in early life, and is, therefore, seldom considered as a diagnostic possibility in young children. Although much has been written on the subject as it concerns older children, particularly in Australia, the condition is very rare in infants. The following case is reported because of the extreme youth of the patient and the unusual mode of poisoning.
History.—A baby girl, aged 8 months, was admitted to the medical service of the Babies' Hospital, April 2, 1922, because of convulsions which had begun six hours previously. The birth and early history were negative. The child had been breast fed continuously until five days before admission when a small supplementary feeding was added. For two months a slight pallor of the skin had been noted. An iron tonic had been given on this account; but it caused a digestive upset and

Anadarko Says Well Operator BP Should Pay for Spill
Anadarko Petroleum Corp., the Texas oil company that owns 25 percent of the damaged well pouring crude into the Gulf of Mexico, said BP Plc, the well's operator, should pay the costs from the disaster because of the reckless and unsafe way it drilled at the site.
BP didn't monitor or react to warning signs as the Macondo well was drilled, Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett said today in a statement. BP is responsible for damages under such conditions, Anadarko said.
"BP's behavior and actions likely represent gross negligence or willful misconduct and thus affect the obligations of the parties under the operating agreement," Hackett said in the statement.
BP said in a statement that it "strongly disagrees" with Anadarko's position. Chief Executive Officer Tony Hayward said his company expects other parties that may have responsibility for costs and liabilities to meet their obligations.
"These allegations will neither distract the company's focus on stopping the leak nor alter our commitment to restore the Gulf Coast," Hayward said in the statement.
The well is gushing as much as 60,000 barrels of oil a day, according to a government estimate. The leak was triggered by an April 20 explosion at a drilling rig leased to BP by Transocean Ltd. Costs of the spill may climb to as much as $50.8 billion if the well is capped at the end of August, according to a June 16 research note from ClearView Energy Partners LLC, a Washington- based policy analysis firm.
Shares Fall
Anadarko, at today's market close, had plunged 42 percent in New York trading since April 20. Anadarko rose 48 cents in after-hours trading to $43.05. BP's American depositary receipts dropped 23 cents after-hours to $31.53.
BP's partners should be held accountable and should set aside money to pay their share, U.S. Representative Edward Markey said today in an interview for Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt."
Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., which is 70 percent-owned by Japan's second-biggest trading house, Mitsui & Co., has a 10 percent stake in the well. BP owns 65 percent.
Co-owners of the project entered into a written agreement that BP would act as the operator and all parties would share the costs based on their ownership interests, including expenses to clean up any spill resulting from drilling, BP said in its statement.
Rating Cut
The co-owners also filed documents with the U.S. government certifying that each would be "jointly and severally liable" along with any other responsible parties for oil spill removal costs and damages in accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, according to BP's statement.
Anadarko will consider what its remedies may be, John Christiansen, an Anadarko spokesman, said today in an interview. Those options may include not paying BP's bills or litigation. Anadarko previously said it was reviewing an invoice from BP on spill costs.
Hackett said that Anadarko recognizes it has "obligations under federal law related to the oil spill, but will look to BP to continue to pay all legitimate claims as they have repeatedly stated that they will do."
Also today, Moody's Investors Service said it downgraded Anadarko's long-term debt rating to non-investment grade, dropping it to Ba1 from Baa3, with further reductions possible.
Hackett, in a telephone interview today, called the decision by Moody's "premature and unwarranted." He said Anadarko has a "strong financial position."
Increased Risk?
U.S. Representatives Henry Waxman of California and Bart Stupak of Michigan said in a June 14 letter to BP that "time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense."
If that happened, the lawmakers said, "BP's carelessness and complacency have inflicted a heavy toll on the Gulf, its inhabitants, and the workers on the rig."
In a televised address June 15, President Barack Obama vowed he would make BP set aside however much is needed to "compensate the workers and business owners who have been harmed as a result of his company's recklessness."
The extent to which BP is seen as "the chief villain of the entire world helps Anadarko," said Jeff Rensberger, a professor at the South Texas College of Law. A finding of negligence requires a determination that a party to a contract did something a reasonable person wouldn't, while gross negligence shows more recklessness, he said.
Even if BP is at fault, Rensberger said, Anadarko might still be liable if it's determined that abnormally hazardous activities occurred at a project in which the company has an interest.
Anadarko also said today that it will donate to Gulf Coast charities or civic agencies any revenue it is entitled to receive from oil recovered in cleanup efforts.

First time doing a larger edit on one of my D800 shots and I encountered the following error message when I tried to save it from Photoshop:
'Could not save "filename.psd" because the document exceeds the 2.00G limit for saving Photoshop files.'
So Photoshop refused to let me save this back into Aperture. Only thing I could think of was to "Save As" the work to my Downloads folder. Since the error message mentioned a limit on PSD files, I thought I would save it as PSB, which is meant for large files. That worked fine and I was going to drop it back into Aperture but of course, PSB is too proprietary and Aperture won't accept it.
Searching high and low on the interwebs, the closest I could find of someone having the same issue was from two years ago (2011):
One suggestion was to have Aperture create TIFFs instead of PSDs as the TIF-format has a 4GB limit. So I changed the prefs and had Aperture convert the RAW into a TIFF and open it in Photoshop. There, I copied over all layers from the PSB and tried to save the TIFF back into Aperture. But again, similar error message popped up:
'Could not save "filename.tiff" because the document exceeds the 4.00G limit for saving Tiff files.'
Pretty much like the other guy mentions in the dpreview forum. After searching a bit more on Adobe forums, PSD files supposedly can handle more than 2GB but most Plugin or Host applications have issues with them or can't deal with them at all. Fine, saved the PSB as a PSD from Photoshop back to my Downloads folder, then dropped it into Aperture. It didn't complain this time. Great, half-way there. Btw, the file size in Aperture showed as only 1.8GB.
Now, what would happen if I were to open this up again from Aperture into Photoshop? First, it creates another version since the PSD is now the Master and I was worried that it would just flatten all the layers in the new PSD that Aperture created. To my surprise though, it did open up in Photoshop with all layers intact. I made some changes to the layers and saved it back down, which to even bigger suprise now suddenly worked. I can continuallly open, edit and save the file through Photoshop and there are no more error messages.
After all this, I'm glad I found a workaround of sorts for myself but I would like to know if this detour over the Finder could be avoided. Also, what if I had a Hasselblad with 80 or 100MP. The images would be so humongeous it's not even funny. How come not more people are dealing with this issue, which seems to have been around for years and it's still not addressed (by mainly Adobe I would think)?
If anyone had another solution or any insights of this, that would be greatly appreciated.

While much of America's sporting community were watching college football this weekend, golf fans were fixated on the goings-on "down under" in Australia where the United States won the Presidents Cup again by a tally of 19-15 over a very strong Internationals squad captained by Greg Norman. This was not unusual, as the Americans have dominated this competition. What is unusual is how they did it. In the past, in team competitions like the Presidents Cup and the Ryder Cup, the USA has generally struggled in the pairs matches only to fight their way back during Sunday's singles matches. Not this time. This time, the American squad dominated in the two rounds of alternate shot matches (where two members of the team take turns hitting the shot) and leveraged that domination to secure the win. It was a breath of fresh air to see the US team playing like an actual team, depending on one another and serving one another—because a team effort was exactly what was needed. In a similar way, many times the church can become a place where "What's in it for me?" is the cry of the throngs. Only caring what I like or what I want or what I prefer will never help the church to be the true spiritual body it is designed and intended to be. Only as each of us realize that there is more to the church than just our personal interests can the mission of the church go forward at full strength. That is why the New Testament letters continually call us to seek the benefit of our brothers and sisters in Christ. This call is captured in more than 20 "one another" statements in which we are challenged to seek the best of the other first and foremost. For example . . .
- "So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another" (Rom. 12:5).
- "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another" (Rom. 12:10).
- "Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion" (Rom. 12:16).
- "Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law" (Rom. 13:8).

Training targets teamwork among EMS, Army personnel
November 18, 2008
By Chuck Cannon, Fort Polk Guardian staff writer
When Capt. Jacy Park, commander, 51st Chemical Company, 83rd Chemical Battalion, located at Fort Polk, Louisiana, learned her company would change its primary mission from detection to decontamination, she decided her Soldiers needed a little "interagency" training to prepare for any emergency Fort Polk might face in the event of a chemical accident or attack.
"I began in February coordinating with the Fire Department to train for real-world situations that might involve chemical spills and mass casualty scenarios," Park said.
The result of that early work was an exercise held Nov. 6 that saw the 51st Chem Co, the Directorate of Emergency Services Fire Department, MedExpress Ambulance Service and Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital work to mitigate an on-post accident involving a blister agent.
Park gave one of her platoon leaders, 1st Lt. Benjamin Fitting, the task of planning the exercise. Fitting developed a scenario in which two vehicles collided on Texas Avenue, causing a blister agent to spill.
As the scenario played out, fire department personnel, under the command of Capt. Devon Fletcher, responded to the accident site - set up in the 51st Chem Co motor pool - and determined there was a possibility of chemical agent involvement.
"We were the first to arrive on the scene," Fletcher said. "We took stock of the situation and determined some type of chemical spill had occurred."
Fletcher asked the 51st Chem Co for their assistance.
"This was a major part of what we wanted to accomplish with the training - interagency communication," said Greg Self, Fort Polk Fire Department's assistant chief for training. "We have different types of radios and sometimes communication between military and civilian agencies can be difficult. Because of this exercise, we are now able to work around those potential problems."
Once the 51st Chem Co decontamination team, led by 1st Lt. Travis Cox, arrived at the accident site, Soldiers, dressed in decontamination suits and armed with devices that detect chemical agents, began checking the area for possible contamination.
"We sent our Soldiers in," Cox said. "After performing first aid on the injured, they began evacuating Soldiers to the on-site decontamination site."
That site, set up by fire department personnel, included a high-intensity shower. Each Soldier or firefighter exposed to the blister agent was required to pass through the shower.
That might seem like a simple task, but Fletcher said one of the lessons learned concerned the shower.
"We determined that the casualties who were on stretchers needed to be rolled to their side under the shower so they could be completely decontaminated," Fletcher said.
"Instead of just telling the decontamination team what they should do, we had them go back through the shower and actually roll the casualties over. It was a great training opportunity."
After the preliminary decontamination at the accident site, injured Soldiers were moved to MedExpress ambulances where they were given first aid and transported to BJACH.
While decontamination was taking place at the accident site, BJACH was notified and its decontamination team, led by Capt. Oscar Seda, set up a tent to receive the casualties and perform a more thorough decontamination near the emergency room entrance.
"It was an excellent opportunity for us to exercise our Soldiers in what would happen should there be an accident of this magnitude," Seda said. "We were able to highlight areas in which we need to improve."
A team of 51st Chem Co Soldiers, led by 2nd Lt. Arlyne Shelton, augmented the BJACH decon team, filling in wherever help was needed.
"Our guys can do anything but provide medical attention," Shelton said. "If they need help setting up the decontamination tent or directing traffic, our guys can do it. If an accident happens, you never know if you're going to need someone to step in for someone who is not there.
"This training gives our Soldiers the confidence that they can do that."
After the casualties were placed in the BJACH tents, a team under the leadership of Fitting went to work decontaminating the ambulances.
"If you put contaminated casualties in an ambulance, it stands to reason the ambulance will become contaminated," Fitting said. "Our team washed down the ambulances and made sure they were decontaminated before they were released."
Park said the exercise was executed exactly as she imagined.
"Considering that all of the parties involved in the exercise were extremely busy with their real world missions, I think everything went very well," Park said. "I hope to conduct this type of training at least semi-annually to ensure continuity and apply mitigations and improvements to execute a complex mission such as this flawlessly in the event of a real world situation.
"I think as of November 6, we are one step closer to being ready to protect our Soldiers and Fort Polk."
