Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I need surgery for Paget's disease of the vulva. Can you tell me about my treatment options?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Paget's disease of the vulva is an unusual kind of skin cancer that arises from glandular cells. Clinically, it can appear as red and white scaly plaques on the vulva. The tumor may frequently extend into what appears to be normal skin, making the appropriate extent of the surgical resection difficult to determine. For this reason, frozen section biopsies may be used to guide the surgery.
Approximately 15% of patients with vulvar Paget's disease will be found to have invasive Paget's disease or an underlying invasive adenocarcinoma of the vulva. There is also a reported association of vulvar Paget's with adenocarcinomas elsewhere in the body. The treatment for vulvar Paget's disease is surgical excision. In some cases with extensive involvement, skin grafting may be needed to close the resulting wound. Your treating physician can best advise you as to the necessary extent of the procedure.

A desalination plant, hailed as being the world's largest, was completed in May 2009 in the new Jubail II Industrial Zone in the eastern province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The plant produces 2,750 megawatts of electricity and 800,000 cubic meters of water per day. Photo: Jubail Water and Electricity Co.
Seawater desalination facilities are already vital for economic development in many arid areas of the world, but there are real examples of desalination plants that have been
- overly expensive,
- inaccurately promoted,
- poorly designed, or
- inappropriately located.
Any of these may lead to a project ultimately becoming useless. It is important, therefore, to consider both the advantages and the disadvantages of seawater desalination in order to make informed choices about the appropriateness of this technology for an area.
How does desalination work?
The Earth's hydrologic cycle naturally desalinates water using solar energy. Water evaporates from oceans, lakes, and land surfaces leaving salts behind. The resulting freshwater vapor forms clouds that produce precipitation, which falls to earth as rain and snow and moves through soils, dissolving minerals and becoming increasingly salty. The oceans are salty because the natural process of evaporation, precipitation, and runoff is constantly moving salt from the land to the sea, where it builds up over time.
Distillation is one of humanity's earliest forms of water treatment, and it is becoming more popular today as a solution to water shortages. Diagram from Desware: The Encyclopedia of Desalination and Water Resources.
A wide variety of desalination technologies effectively remove salts from salty water (or extract fresh water from salty water), producing a water stream with a low concentration of salt, called the product stream, and another with a high concentration of remaining salts, referred to as brine or concentrate. The majority of technologies in use today rely on either thermal distillation or membranes to separate salts from the product.2,3,4,5 Ultimately, the selection of a desalination process depends on site-specific conditions, including the salt content of the water, economics, quality of water needed by the end user, and local engineering experience and skills.
Desalination process options include:
- Membrane and filtration processes: Membranes and filters can permit or prohibit the passage of certain ions selectively, and desalination technologies have been designed around these capabilities. These natural principles have been adapted in two commercially important desalting processes: electrodialysis (ED) and reverse osmosis (RO). Both of these concepts have been understood for a century; however, commercialization has lagged until the technology for creating and maintaining membranes improved. Although they have typically been used to desalinate brackish water, versions are being applied to seawater increasingly, and these two approaches now account for more than half of all desalination capacity. A growing number of desalination systems are also adding filtration units prior to the membranes in order to remove contaminants that affect long-term filter operation.
Thermal distillation: Approximately 40% of the world's desalted water is produced with processes that use heat to distill fresh water from seawater or brackish water. The distillation process mimics the natural water cycle by producing water vapor that is then condensed into fresh water. In the simplest approach, water is heated to the boiling point to produce the maximum amount of water vapor. Water will boil at 100°C under atmospheric pressure. By decreasing pressure, however, the boiling point can be reduced. At one-quarter of normal pressure, water will boil at 65°C, and at one-tenth of normal pressure, it will boil at only 45°C. To take advantage of this principle, systems have been designed to allow, "multiple boiling" in a series of vessels that operate at successively lower temperatures and pressures. The concept of distilling water with a vessel operating at a reduced pressure has been applied for well over a century.
Other desalination processes: Water can be desalted though many other processes including small-scale ion-exchange resins, freezing, and membrane distillation. None has achieved much commercial success, and together, they account for less than 1% of total desalination capacity.5 Nevertheless, some of these approaches can be effective, and even preferable, under special circumstances.
Where is seawater desalination practiced today?
The idea of separating salt from water is an ancient one, dating from the time when salt—not water—was a precious commodity. As populations and demands for fresh water expanded, however, entrepreneurs began to look for ways of producing fresh water in remote locations, and especially, on naval ships at sea.

Desalination technology is in use throughout the world for a wide range of purposes, including
- providing potable fresh water for domestic and municipal purposes
- treating water for industrial processes
- obtaining emergency water for refugees or military operations
Desalination facilities are found in many arid and water-short areas of the world, and they are vital for economic development. In particular, desalination is an important water source in parts of the arid Middle East, Persian Gulf,6 North Africa, Caribbean islands, and other locations, where the natural availability of fresh water is insufficient to meet demand, and where traditional water-supply options or transfers from elsewhere are implausible or uneconomical. Increasingly, other regions are exploring the use of desalination as a potential mainstream source of reliable, high-quality water as the prices slowly drop toward the cost of more traditional alternatives.
What are the advantages of seawater desalination?
Water supply reliability Proponents of desalination argue that one of the important benefits of desalination is its supply reliability. The production of desalinated water is largely independent of weather; instead, it depends on ensuring the continued operation of desalination infrastructure. This benefit is particularly valuable in arid and semi-arid climates where weather variability is high. There is also a value to new supply under local control and to increased diversity of supply as a way to increase resilience to natural disasters or other threats to water systems.
High-quality water One of the advantages of desalination is the potential to produce high-quality water. Desalination facilities are designed to remove numerous impurities and produce water that may be a large improvement over existing water sources. The desalination process, nonetheless, can also run the risk of introducing harmful chemicals and metals into the water it produces, or leaching them out of the distribution system on the way to users. These concerns, however, can be mitigated through adequate monitoring and appropriate regulation of all desalination facilities.
Local control of water resources In many regions of the world, water resources are increasingly transferred from one place to another—especially from rural to urban communities, from water-rich to water-poor regions, and toward economic interests willing and able to pay for water. These transfers raise two separate issues of local control of resources:
- Exploitation of local resources. The first concern is the worry of rural—often agricultural—areas that distant urban or economic powers will steal local resources. The classic example is the effort of the City of Los Angeles in the early part of the 20th century to obtain water from farming communities hundreds of miles away, which has colored California water politics ever since.7
- Dependence on potentially unreliable, distant resources. The second concern is that urban centers will become dependent on distant resources and increase their vulnerability to supply disruptions over which they have limited control.
Desalination may offer a solution to both of these political problems by providing reliable, high-quality sources of water under direct local control, reducing the need for imported water, and reducing the vulnerability to outside disruptions at the same time.
What are the disadvantages of seawater desalination?
Cost The cost of desalination has fallen in recent years, but it remains an expensive water-supply option. Typical costs for water produced through desalination range from $1,200-2,000 per acre-foot—substantially more expensive than most other water supply and demand management options. The assumption that desalination costs will continue to fall may be false. Further cost reductions may be limited, and actually, future costs may increase.
Energy use Seawater desalination is an energy-intensive process. Energy is the largest single variable cost for a desalination plant, varying from one-third to more than one-half the cost of produced water.8,9 Additionally, more energy is required to produce water from desalination than from most other water supply or demand-management options. Because of its energy intensity, desalinated water is more sensitive to changes in energy prices than other sources of water. Efforts to reuse energy or minimize energy demands will help reduce overall costs. Although opportunities for reducing energy use certainly exist, there are ultimate limits beyond which energy-efficiency improvements cannot be made.10
Environmental impacts Desalination, like any other major industrial process, has environmental impacts that must be understood and mitigated (see review by Einav et al.11 and The National Academy of Sciences9). These include the effects associated with the construction of desalination plants, and especially the long-term operation of these plants—including the consequences of withdrawing large volumes of brackish water from an aquifer or seawater from the ocean. Large marine organisms, such as adult fish, invertebrates, birds, and even mammals, are killed on the intake screen (impingement); organisms small enough to pass through the intake screens, such as plankton, eggs, larvae, and some fish, are killed during processing of the salt water (entrainment). Impingement and entrainment effects are species and site specific, and only limited research has been completed on the impacts of desalination facilities on the marine environment.9
Adequate and safe disposal of the concentrated brine produced by the plant presents a significant environmental challenge. Typical brines contain twice the salt as the feedwater. Brine from seawater desalination facilities can contain concentrations of constituents typically found in seawater, such as manganese, lead, and iodine, as well as chemicals introduced via urban and agricultural runoff, such as nitrates.12 Further, the brine can contain impinged and entrained marine organisms killed during the desalination process.
Does climate change impact seawater desalination?

The ship is in the planning stage and not yet under construction. Photo: Still image from video produced by Seadov Pty Ltd., Australia.
Desalination offers both advantages and disadvantages in the face of climatic extremes and human-induced climate changes. Desalination facilities may help reduce the dependence of local water agencies on climate-sensitive sources of supply. Extensive development of desalination, however, can lead to a greater dependence on fossil fuels, an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, and a worsening of climate change. Furthermore, coastal desalination facilities will be vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, storm surges, and extreme weather events.
The potential benefits of ocean desalination are great for human needs, but the economic, cultural, and environmental costs of worldwide commercialization remain high. In many parts of the world, alternatives can provide the same freshwater benefits of seawater desalination at far lower economic and environmental costs. These alternatives include treating low-quality local water sources, encouraging regional water transfers, improving conservation and efficiency, accelerating wastewater recycling and reuse, and implementing smart land-use planning.
Desalination may provide environmental benefits if it can reduce pressures on rivers and streams. Typically, however, the link between desalination (or other new sources) and more water for environmental purposes is weak. Unless a water rights order, or potential order makes water for the environment mandatory, or more water taken from the environment problematic, there is usually no explicit mechanism to link desalination project approval with environmental water. Without a mechanism, there is no guarantee that water will be used for ecosystem restoration.
Is seawater desalination the ultimate solution to our water problems? No. Is it likely to be a piece of our water management puzzle? Yes. In the end, decisions about desalination developments will revolve around complex evaluations of local circumstances and needs, economics, financing, environmental, and social impacts, and available alternatives.

Fort Banks – Winthrop MA
by Guest Blogger, Bette Pye Wing
As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, Winthrop is where I grew up. I never knew it at the time, but it was a super special place to live. As I moved to new places and visited others, I was able to make a fairly accurate assessment of each and Winthrop always came out the winner.
For instance, how many kids grew up on a peninsula 1.6 miles square, with 7 miles of beaches, a view of the inner harbor and Boston skyline on one side and nothing but ocean and islands in any other direction? For that matter, how many kids grew up in a town with two (2) forts and a third one near by on Deer Island? Yes, that would be as in military forts and not just historical ones, but actively occupied and maintained forts. It wasn't unusual to see jeeps and Army trucks on the streets near the biggest fort, Fort Banks. It was usual to spend a day at the beach and see the Shore Patrol making their daily rounds. The Army was a definite presence in our town.
Fort Banks started out as a Mortar Battery, originally built in 1892. It was named for the Civil War general and congressman, Nathaniel P. Banks. It originally had four pits with four, twelve inch diameter mortars each. These mortars were capable of sending an 800 pound shell, nine miles out to sea. This installation was meant to guard and protect Boston Harbor as part of the Harbor Defense. Later, anti-aircraft guns were added and Fort Banks became the base for the Army's 9th Artillery Regiment. In preparation for WWII, by the end of June 1941, there 58 Officers, 18 NCO's and 892 enlisted men stationed at Fort Banks. As we headed into the Korean War, Nike Anti-Aircraft Rockets were on the site. The fort now served as part of the early warning system for all of New England. There was also a 250 bed hospital, barracks and officers housing. Today, only one pit and two underground bunkers remain of the original installation, which were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. In the 40's and 50's military personnel had life pretty easy. Fort Banks became know as The Country Club, while Revere Beach Amusement Park and the hot spots in Boston provided plenty of entertainment.
What once was an important defense installation bustling with military personnel and activity, became inactive September 30,1966. It has become a multi-use area, today, with a school, playground, condominiums, apartment buildings and a cemetery.
I have access to the census records of Fort Banks from 1910 – 1940 and will do look-ups. Please use firstname.lastname@example.com to request additional info or look-ups.
The other two forts, Fort Dawes and Fort Heath will be the subjects of future blogs.

This procedure uses the modify DN operation. Before starting this operation, ensure that you are familiar with the section Guidelines and Limitations for Using the Modify DN Operation.
For parts of this procedure, you can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help. Other parts of the procedure can only be done using the command line.
When modifying the DNs of entries that are a uniquemember of a group, you must have the referential integrity plug-in enabled. Referential integrity ensures that the group members get adjusted when the entry is moved. For information about how to enable and configure the referential integrity plug-in, see To Configure the Referential Integrity Plug-In.
If you are moving an entry from one parent to another, extend ACI rights on the parent entries.
On the current parent entry of the entry to be moved, ensure that the ACI allows the export operations by using the syntax allow (export ...)
On the future parent entry of the entry to be moved, ensure that the ACI allows the import operations. by using the syntax allow (import ...)
For information about using ACIs, see Chapter 6, Directory Server Access Control.
Ensure that the modify DN operation is enabled globally, or at least for the suffix or suffixes that will be affected by the move operation.
To ensure compatibility with previous releases of Directory Server, the modify DN operation is not enabled by default.
If you have already enabled the modify DN operation previously, go to the next step.
To enable the modify DN operation globally for a server, use this command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port moddn-enabled:on
Run the ldapmodify command.
This step uses the modify DN operation. Do one of the following:
Move the entry.
For example, the following command moves the entry uid=bjensen from the subtree for contractors, ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com to the subtree for employees, ou=People,dc=example,dc=com:
$ ldapmodify -h host1 -p 1389 -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - Enter bind password: dn: uid=bjensen,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modrdn newrdn: uid=bjensen deleteoldrdn: 0 newsuperior: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
Rename the entry.
For example, the following command renames the entry uid=bbjensen to uid=bjensen:
$ ldapmodify -h host1 -p 1389 -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - Enter bind password: dn: uid=bbjensen,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modrdn newrdn: uid=bjensen deleteoldrdn: 1
Pay attention to the following attributes when writing the LDIF statement:
dn - Specifies the entry to rename or move.
changetype: modrdn - Specifies that a modify DN operation is to be used.
newrdn - Gives the new naming attribute.
deleteoldrdn - Indicates whether the previous naming attribute should be removed from the entry (1 is yes, 0 is no).
Note that you cannot remove a naming attribute from the entry if that attribute is obligatory in the entry definition.
newsuperior - Specifies the new superior attribute of the entry.
For information about the ldapmodify command and its options, see the ldapmodify(1) man page.
If you encounter resource limit errors when moving or renaming subtrees that contain a large number of entries, increase the number of locks that can be used by the database.
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port db-lock-count:value
If you modify this property, you must restart the server for the change to take effect.

Tom Cable is unlikely to return as the Oakland Raiders' coach, a league source said Sunday.
NFL RedZone
Watching football on Sundays is a whole new experience with NFL Network's channel, NFL RedZone. Find out why.
Raiders owner Al Davis is expected to survey the coaching landscape, and he will not decide Cable's future until some time in the middle of the month.
With a 31-10 victory over the AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Cable led the Raiders to an 8-8 record this season, including a perfect 6-0 mark in the division. But Cable is 17-27 overall since taking over as coach in the middle of the 2008 season.
Cable presently doesn't have an official contract with the Raiders, but Davis can pick up an option for two more years.

The roller-coaster ride is nowhere near over. That was the message sent down from Capitol Hill yesterday as initial optimism quickly gave way to shock when the voting started in the House and it became clear there weren't enough votes to approve the $700 billion bailout plan. Lawmakers rejected the compromise rescue package on a 228-205 vote, and nervous investors quickly pressed the sell button. The markets began to plummet at the first sign of trouble, and by the end of the day the Dow Jones industrial average fell by almost 778 points, a new record. It was "the most devastating stock market collapse in 21 years," declares the Los Angeles Times. USA Today notes that the 7 percent plunge "didn't even make the Dow's all-time top 10" but goes on to point out that the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index suffered its worst day since 1987's "Crash Monday." The Wall Street Journal highlights that the closely watched VIX index, which is often referred to as "the fear index," closed "at its highest levels in its 28-year history."
"Rarely has a congressional vote held such high drama and produced such immediate repercussions," notes the Washington Post. While it was expected that many rank-and-file lawmakers would go against the wishes of their leaders, most were expecting that the compromise bailout plan would pass the House after the marathon weekend negotiations. Even the White House declared itself optimistic before the vote. "The outcome after a slightly more than 40-minute vote on the House floor left lawmakers almost speechless," says the New York Times. But not for long. Republican and Democratic leaders quickly took to the microphones and angrily blamed one another for the bill's defeat.
In the end, 140 Democrats voted in favor of the bill, and 95 voted against it, while 65 Republicans approved the measure, and 133 rejected it. Democrats quickly seized the numbers to say the Republican leadership had failed to live up to its side of the bargain as each party had pledged to deliver half its votes for the bill. But Republican leaders said they lost several members at the last minute and blamed what they described as a partisan speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before the vote, a charge that Democrats (and the WSJ editorial board) ridiculed. Everyone says that yesterday's events more than confirmed President Bush's lame-duck status, as his influence among members of his own party is practically nonexistent.
While some lawmakers pointed to ideological reasons for rejecting the rescue package, everyone says the surge in angry calls and e-mails from constituents opposed to the measure played a pivotal role. As the LAT notes, there was no grass-roots movement in favor of the bill, but there were plenty of groups that angrily opposed the measure. "People's re-elections played into this to a much greater degree than I would have imagined," said Rep. Deborah Pryce, a Republican from Ohio who is retiring. Other lawmakers were clearly worried about how their vote would play with their constituents a mere five weeks before Election Day. Although members may cite other reasons, "it was old-fashioned politics that killed the bill. … [T]oo many lawmakers weren't willing to risk losing their jobs," declares USAT.
The WSJ goes inside with a look at who cast the "no" votes and says they "came from a strange-bedfellows coalition" that spanned the ideological spectrum. Many of these nays came from representatives of low-income districts, but the one thing many had in common is a tough re-election fight. While the majority of Democratic freshmen and all of the first-term Republican lawmakers voted against the bill, the overwhelming majority of those retiring from Capitol Hill voted in favor. But the LAT also points out that many of the no votes came from safe districts, partly because years of redistricting have created "politically polarized" areas where "members from those districts have less incentive to compromise with the other party."
So, what now? Congressional leaders and administration officials vowed to work together, but no one is sure how to proceed. "We've got much work to do, and this is much too important to simply let fail," Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said. The earliest the House could consider another bill would be Thursday, when lawmakers will reconvene after a two-day break in observance of the Jewish New Year. The NYT says lawmakers are considering having the Senate advance a bill, since its passage there is virtually assured. Some are suggesting that Democrats should propose changes to guarantee more support from their side of the aisle at the expense of Republican votes, but Pelosi and other leaders have been insisting that the bailout must be approved with bipartisan support. For their part, Republicans suggested they could get a few more votes if slight changes are made to the bill.
The NYT notes in a separate Page One analysis that many think the leaders of both parties made a critical mistake when they agreed to bring the bill to the House floor without having a vote count set in stone. That's "a bad move at any time, but especially so in this case given the risk of the markets and the badly weakened financial system reacting badly," says the NYT that emphasizes how the bill's collapse represents a huge failure for the political leadership in Washington.
As lawmakers continue to negotiate, the markets are likely to continue suffering. A staggering $1.2 trillion disappeared from the U.S. stock market yesterday in what the NYT describes as "Wall Street's blackest day since the 1987 crash." The House's vote reverberated around the world, and all of the major stock markets in Asia were down this morning. So, even though those who voted against the bailout may have wanted to send a message to Wall Street fat cats, they also caused pain in "the not-so-fat 401(k) retirement savings plans of millions of Americans," notes the LAT. And the truth is that if the markets experience any more days like Monday, it's "going to hurt the average worker with money in the market far more than it will hurt a bank executive with millions of dollars to spare and a generous pension to boot."
The bailout's failure in the House clearly presented a challenge to both presidential candidates, who had offered tepid endorsements, but John McCain is the one with the most to lose. Last week he claimed that he was suspending his campaign to ensure that the important piece of legislation would pass Congress. The LAT notes that two hours before the House voted against the plan, McCain was telling a crowd in Ohio that he was instrumental in getting the piece of legislation through Congress, a message that quickly changed once the votes came in. "The first defense was to go on offense," notes the NYT. McCain blamed Obama and the Democrats for injecting "unnecessary partisanship into the process" before quickly adding that it "is not the time to fix the blame; it's time to fix the problem." For his part, Obama reworked a speech that praised the agreement and instead said there's a "lot of blame to spread around." While also calling for a bipartisan effort, Obama urged voters to consider McCain's history of favoring deregulation when they consider whom to pick in November.
Unless Congress passes something, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury don't have much ammunition left in their arsenal to deal with the deepening financial crisis. If lawmakers don't approve anything, the WSJ and WP both highlight that the Fed and Treasury would have little choice but to return to deciding on a case-by-case basis which institutions can be allowed to fail and which should be rescued. And no one thinks that continuing with this ad hoc process would do enough to increase confidence in the markets and get credit moving again. The LAT says it remains "an open question" whether the Fed and Treasury have enough power and resources to prevent "the cascading failure of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of financial institutions and paralysis spreading across the whole economy."
And in case voters needed a reminder that even some of the nation's largest banks aren't immune, most papers front the government-orchestrated sale of most of Wachovia to Citigroup for $1 a share, or about $2 billion. Citigroup will inherit Wachovia's $312 billion loan portfolio, but the government agreed to pay for any losses after the $42 billion mark. In return for this guarantee, the government got $12 billion in preferred stocks and warrants.
Wachovia's sale is the latest example of how Wall Street has been reshaped in the past few weeks with what the NYT calls "a wave of shotgun mergers." In a separate Page One piece, the WSJ says that the "notoriously fragmented American banking system is going through a decade's worth of consolidation in a matter of weeks." Now only the strongest banks are likely to survive, and the consequences of this consolidation will be felt for years. Customers might see their fees go up because of a lack of competition, but on the upside, the mere size of these banks means they'll be less vulnerable to future economic shocks. Then again, these banks could decide to take bigger risks because they may be seen as too big to fail.
Faced with a huge economic crisis, the country's political leaders "have failed utterly and catastrophically to project any sense of authority, to give the world any reason to believe that this country is being governed," writes the NYT's David Brooks. Just as they did with their anti-immigration crusade, House Republicans "have once again confused talk radio with reality" and chose to listen to "the loudest and angriest voices in their party, oblivious to the complicated anxieties that lurk in most American minds." If the economy tanks, "they will go down in history as the Smoot-Hawleys of the 21st century."
"The basic problem here is that too many people don't understand the seriousness of the situation," writes the Post's Steven Pearlstein. "But it is a measure of how little trust remains in both Washington and Wall Street that voters are willing to risk a serious hit to their wealth and income rather than follow their lead."

SANTA FE (AP) – Punctuated by the hiss of air brakes, a city bus jostles to a stop. The stage is set. The curtains are already open.
A woman stands halfway down the bus aisle, her hands grasping the neck of a cello is not your average Santa Fe Trails rider. A belt around her waist is secured to one of the vertical bus railings; as she gently plucks the strings of her instrument, with the bus swaying unsteadily, her pizzicato sound doesn't stop.
When a violinist gets on the bus, followed by singer Madi Soto, it's clear this won't be an average bus ride, either.
A local artists collective called Littleglobe is preparing a mobile "bus opera" performance, scheduled to premiere for the general public on Santa Fe Trails next fall.
This weekend, writers, composers, musicians and actors performed a short test-run of the bus opera called "Crosstown ‥5" for friends and family. Sunday's ride was the first time the group rehearsed on an actual moving bus, although for months they have been working out the project in a stationary bus, explained Valerie Martinez, one of the production's artistic directors.
A story unfolds as the bus winds through Santa Fe neighborhoods, past the barely wet riverbed near the city's historic center, through the humble west side and across to the tony east side. As characters on the bus wailed plaintive songs or delivered thoughtful spoken word, costumed participants along the route offered silent contributions to the performance.
A brilliant feathered bluebird drew a crowd by dancing on a tree along East Alameda. Black-winged angels and men in historic costumes reached for the bus as it drove by.
"What an interesting way to pull the community into the project," said preview bus rider Erica Gionfriddo, who said at first she wasn't sure whether she was supposed to look out the bus windows at the characters on the street. "People behind the bus driving in their cars just see this giant bird costume ... and we are all drawing on our own experiences with these places in town as we go through them."
Martinez, who served as the city's poet laureate for two years beginning in 2008 and is a playwright and teacher, shares artistic direction of the project with Acushla Bastible; Chris Jonas and Molly Sturges collaborate as composers.
Their production still being written and subjected to a community engagement process won't ever be the same twice.
"Sometimes we stop at a light for a few minutes, and sometimes the light is green. It's different every single time we make the run," Martinez said.
Those challenges are part of what makes the work so animated, said Bastible, whose credits include pieces for the Santa Fe Opera and her own company, Angel Exit Theater.
"It's a moving set, and we are moving through the set," she said. "It's the most beautiful set you could have, but it's also the most unpredictable set you could have."
Although the preview was in a chartered bus marked "Special," next fall's performances will be very public, Martinez said.
"Next year we will be on the line. It will be on the Crosstown, No. 5. A person will get on and pay their fare, and the opera will just be there. We didn't want it to be a tourist/visitor bus. We wanted it to be for everyone," she said.
Martinez said officials might add an extra bus on the regular route or make other changes to accommodate passengers next fall.
"It's logistically very challenging, but we are committed to that," she told riders after the performance.
Creating a performance piece on the bus is a way to express "some of our sadness over the fact that Santa Fe has become segregated," Martinez said. "I envision the bus as a thread that kind of pulls us all together."
City Transit Director Jon Bulthuis said art on buses isn't a new concept; city buses have been vehicles for murals, photography and printed poetry, and "Art in Public Places" money has been used to improve bus stops at several locations around the city. Live performance, however, isn't common.
"It's interesting and unique, and it's something that hasn't been done here. It's really in very few places that anyone has attempted to do something like this," he said. "There will be activities taking place on the bus, but people will be able to use the buses as they always have. ... This is kind of a bonus for the community and for people who do use the bus, and hopefully it isn't something that gets in the way of them using the bus for transportation."
Although he expected some resistance from drivers who might object to the project, Bulthuis said his meetings with Littleglobe and bus staff have gotten positive results.
"For the most part, people are supportive," he said.

A little over a third of the way through our 2012 Weekend Projects series, we've built a 555 timer-based game-show circuit, made solar-powered BEAM bots, and protected our wares with a Talking Booby Trap, along with other great projects. One of the really exciting aspects of Weekend Projects is the newsletter we publish to coincide with each projects' launch. In the newsletter, before anywhere else, we offer a snapshot of the most recent project. We also highlight technical and creative applications of the project, suggest tips & tricks, and feature builds by makers!
Our next project, coming next week, uses no battery source and requires no soldering, but is an exciting beginner electronics project that will produce different results for every maker who builds it. A project popular with both oatmeal eaters, and enthusiasts of the ether, can you guess what it might be? Sign up below to the Weekend Projects newsletter and find out!
