Office BP response to “BP Caught Photoshopping Disaster Response Photos”

Without checking facts the “reporter” from the American blog is lying. We would like to refute all claims that the picture was Photoshopped ®.

Thank you,
BP CEO
Tony B

PS
While we intended to Photoshop ® the picture the DL manager opened and tried to update Photoshop, Flash and Reader and took our internet access away. Then with no access to the internet to get the latest patch for Photoshop®, we called the helpdesk. A person from IT came to our rescue. He has long grey hair in a ponytail, you may know him. He told us about a program called gimp 2.6.10. Since he had internet on his PC and we were able to “alter” the image to benefit us, leak it to the press and the blog and then claim we knew nothing about it.

Shuttle Reentry Over the Continental US 139

Posted by kdawson on Sunday April 18, 2010 @06:16PM from the boom-boom dept.

TheOtherChimeraTwin notes that the shuttle Discovery will land at Kennedy Space Center on Monday morning at 8:48 EDT. The craft will make a rare "descending node" overflight of the continental US en route to landing in Florida. Here are maps of the shuttle's path if is lands on orbit 222 as planned, or on the next orbit. Spaceweather.com says: "...it takes the shuttle about 35 minutes to traverse the path shown... Observers in the northwestern USA will see the shuttle shortly after 5 am PDT blazing like a meteoric fireball through the dawn sky. As Discovery makes its way east, it will enter daylight and fade into the bright blue background. If you can't see the shuttle, however, you might be able to hear it. The shuttle produces a sonic double-boom that reaches the ground about a minute and a half after passing overhead."

They were also found liable for $530,000 in damages ... [T]he case was the first brought by the Commission alleging the transmission of phony caller ID information or none at all."
