The Republic of Cuba, is an island country in the Caribbean.
Rig Hired by Spain's Repsol Arrives off Cuba
HAVANA – A deepwater oil rig hired by Spain's Repsol-YPF for use in Cuba's Gulf waters has arrived off the island's coast and will be put into operation shortly.
The Scarabeo-9 platform was about 10 miles off northern Cuba Thursday and could already be seen from the coast.
The rig, built in China and Singapore and initially due to arrive in the summer of 2011, is heading west to an area off the coast of the city of Mariel, an industry official told Efe, adding that exploratory drilling is expected to begin soon.
The platform will be used to determine the crude potential of Cuba's Exclusive Economic Zone, which is located in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and estimated to hold up to 9 billion barrels of petroleum in more than a score of commercially significant prospects.
The EEZ covers some 112,000 sq. kilometers (43,240 sq. miles) and is divided into 59 blocks of 2,000 sq. kilometers (772 sq. miles) each, 22 of which have been awarded to foreign companies such as Spain's Repsol, Venezuela's PDVSA and PetroVietnam.
Eight onshore blocks also have been awarded to Cuban state oil firm Cupet and five others to foreign companies, according to official figures.
Cuba's oil and gas output has stabilized over the past five years at a level of 4 million tons of oil equivalent, according to the Basic Industry Ministry.
Last year, several U.S. House Democratic and Republican leaders urged Repsol, which also has leases to drill in U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico, to drop plans to explore for oil in Cuban waters and warned the company of possible legal action in the United States.
In a letter sent to Repsol Chairman and CEO Antonio Brufau, 34 House lawmakers said any exploratory drilling the oil company conducts in Cuban waters "will provide direct financial benefit to the Castro dictatorship."
U.S. officials also have expressed concerns about environmental risks considering the drilling site's proximity to U.S. soil, just 95 miles from the Florida Keys, although Repsol has pledged to adhere to U.S. regulations and the highest industry standards in its drilling in Cuban territorial waters.
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard inspected the Scarabeo-9 last week and found it to be in compliance with U.S. and international standards governing deepwater drilling.
BSEE director Michael Bromwich told the House and Senate last year that U.S. authorities had witnessed a spill response exercise carried out at Repsol's office in Trinidad and that during that simulation Repsol technicians demonstrated their ability to respond successfully to a hypothetical spill.
Concerns about Cuba's plans to tap its offshore oil reserves have grown in the wake of the devastating 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Cuba is hoping crude discoveries will provide a boost to the communist-ruled island's ailing economy and make it less dependent on imported oil from close ally Venezuela. EFE

What if… Is The US Prepared For Cuban Oil Rigs?
By John Konrad On January 10, 2012
Will the United States be prepared if Cuba's new offshore rigs spill oil into US waters?
To address this question, personnel from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) completed a review today of the offshore oil rig Scarabeo 9 following an invitation from the vessel's operator, Repsol. While aboard the Scarabeo 9, personnel reviewed vessel construction, drilling equipment, and safety systems in anticipation of the rig's upcoming drilling operations in Cuba's exclusive economic zone in the coming months.
According to the Coast Guard, the review is "consistent with U.S. efforts to minimize the possibility of a major oil spill, which would hurt U.S. economic and environmental interests". While US regulators exercise no legal or regulatory authority over the rig, the review compared the vessel with applicable international safety and security standards as well as U.S. standards for drilling units operating in the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. U.S. personnel found the vessel to generally comply with existing international and U.S. standards by which Repsol has pledged to abide.
In anticipation of an increase in drilling activities in the Caribbean Basin and Gulf of Mexico, the United States is participating in multilateral discussions with the Cuba as well as other countries nearby including Bahamas, Jamaica and Mexico on issues including, drilling safety and oil spill preparedness. The Coast Guard views the cooperation as providing valuable information on each country's spill response plans and capabilities. The Coast Guard is also working to update contingency plans for spills on international waters that could potentially affect U.S. waters and coastline.
In addition to international cooperation, the USCG and BSEE have involved more than 80 federal, state, local, and maritime industry representatives in spill response plans. The group held a table top exercise on Nov. 18, 2011 to address a hypothetical international spill off the coast of Florida. The exercise allowed participants to discuss sensitive environmental areas, planning strategies, likely issues and response coordination principles that responders would face, as well as gather additional information to use in future planning.
The USCG notes the review conducted today does not confer any form of certification or endorsement under U.S. or international law.

Cuba Oil Drilling Tests U.S. on Protecting Florida or Embargo
By Katarzyna Klimasinska
Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) — Four U.S. inspectors armed with safety glasses and notebooks will set out on a mission next month to protect Florida's beaches from a Cuban threat.
They'll rendezvous in Trinidad and Tobago with the Scarabeo 9, a rig headed to deep waters off Cuba to drill for oil about 70 miles (113 kilometers) south of Florida's Key West.
Repsol YPF SA is making the Scarabeo 9 available to the U.S. inspectors before the rig starts drilling closer to Florida than the BP Plc well that failed last year in the Gulf of Mexico, causing the biggest U.S. offshore oil spill. The exploration poses an environmental, political and diplomatic challenge to the U.S. more than 50 years after cutting off relations with Cuba's communist regime.
The Obama administration's dilemma is "what steps to take for environmental protection and how much to honor current Cuba policy," Dan Whittle, Cuba program director at the New York- based Environmental Defense Fund, said in an interview.
In the aftermath of the revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power, the U.S. banned exports to Cuba in 1960, withdrew diplomatic recognition, backed the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and imposed a full trade embargo in 1962.
Now generations of animosity between the two nations limit cooperation on safety standards and cleanup precautions for the Cuba drilling planned by Madrid-based Repsol, which would be followed by state-owned companies from Malaysia to Venezuela. A conference on regional oil-spill response being held this week in Nassau, Bahamas, may provide a forum for discussions by U.S. and Cuban representatives.
Juan Jacomino, a spokesman for the Cuban Interests Section at the Swiss embassy in Washington, declined in an interview to comment on drilling off of the island nation.
Spare Parts
Repsol can use the Scarabeo 9 without violating the U.S. trade embargo because it was built at shipyards in China and Singapore, and fewer than 10 percent of its components are American, according to its owner, Eni SpA.
The sanctions would block spare parts from the U.S. for the rig's blowout preventer, a safety device that failed in the BP spill. The restrictions also require Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc. of Houston, which provides oil-spill containment equipment for Repsol in the Gulf of Mexico, to seek a waiver to do so in Cuban waters in case of an accident.
U.S. companies seeking to do business with Cuba must ask the Commerce Department, which considers most applications "subject to a policy of denial," the agency says on its website. The Treasury Department weighs requests to travel from the U.S. to Cuba.
Granting too few permits for spill prevention and response would keep contractors from offering the technology and services developed after the BP spill, Lee Hunt, president of the Houston-based International Association of Drilling Contractors, said in an interview.
Cuban Exiles
Approving too many licenses would undermine the embargo, enriching a regime listed by the U.S. State Department as a nation supporting terrorism along with Iran, Sudan and Syria, according to anti-Castro lawmakers such as Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, who heads the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
U.S. "assistance, guidance and technical advice" to Repsol, including the planned visit to Scarabeo 9, may violate the law by "helping to facilitate" the company's work and providing the Cuban government "with a financial windfall," Ros-Lehtinen said in a Nov. 1 letter to President Barack Obama.
Ros-Lehtinen, who immigrated from Cuba with her family at age 8, is a leader among Cuban exiles in South Florida who have opposed easing U.S. restrictions. Florida, which has been a swing state in presidential elections, also has been a bastion of opposition to oil drilling that opponents say could despoil the beaches that are a prime draw for tourists.
Florida Drilling Foes
Lawmakers such as Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, have fought to keep drilling out of U.S. waters in the eastern Gulf of Mexico bordering Florida.
Nelson and Senator Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, introduced a bill Nov. 9 that would require foreign companies drilling in Cuban waters to pay for damage to U.S. territory without liability limits. Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, joined as a cosponsor.
Oil from BP's spill tarred beaches 150 miles away in Florida's northwestern Panhandle.
Now Floridians are faced with drilling under the jurisdiction of Cubans, who "don't have the resources" to control a blowout, Jorge Pinon, an energy consultant and visiting research fellow at the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University in Miami, said in an interview.
"If the U.S. is not willing to help" in an emergency, "the resources are going to come from Canada, Norway and the U.K., and it will take a very long time," said Pinon, who led Amoco Corp. units in Mexico City and retired from BP in 2003, according to his biography.
Repsol's Contract
Repsol signed a contract with Cuba in 2000, according to the company's website, and confirmed the presence of oil with a Norwegian rig in 2004. Repsol will drill in about 5,000 feet (1.5 kilometers) to 6,000 feet of water, about the depth of BP's Macondo well, according to Pinon.
Petroliam Nasional Bhd., or Petronas, based in Kuala Lumpur; New Delhi-based Oil & Natural Gas Corp.; Hanoi-based Vietnam Oil & Gas Group, known as PetroVietnam; Caracas-based Petroleos de Venezuela SA; and Sonangol SA of Luanda, Angola, also hold Cuban blocks, Pinon said.
U.S. officials say they are doing all they can to ensure safe drilling off Cuba.
"We are quite focused, and have been for many, many months" on "doing anything within our power to protect U.S. shores and U.S. coastline," Tommy Beaudreau, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, an industry regulator, said in a Nov. 29 interview at Bloomberg's Washington office.
Wild Well Control
The administration has issued some licenses to U.S. companies to respond to a spill in Cuban waters, Mark Toner, a spokesman for the State Department, said in an e-mail. He didn't say how many have been approved, and the Commerce and Treasury departments didn't respond to e-mailed requests for comment.
Wild Well Control Inc. of Houston is one permit recipient, according to Hunt of the drilling contractors' trade group. The company didn't respond to e-mails and phone calls seeking comment.
"Helix plans to build a new subsea containment cap to safeguard drilling operations in Cuba," Cameron Wallace, a spokesman for that company said in an e-mail about its request for U.S. licenses. "The cap and associated equipment will be staged at a U.S. port near to the drilling site to minimize response time."
Walking the Deck
In their visit to the Scarabeo 9, two inspectors from the U.S. Coast Guard and two from the Interior Department will walk the deck and check generators, the positioning system and firefighting equipment, Brian Khey, who will be on the team, said in an interview.
The Americans will watch a firefighting simulation and conduct an abandon-ship drill, according to Khey, the supervisor at the Coast Guard's Outer Continental Shelf National Center of Expertise in Morgan City, Louisiana,
While the visitors will discuss with Repsol any deficiencies they find, they won't have enforcement powers, Khey said. Nor will they be able to check the blowout preventer or the well casing and drilling fluid that will be used on site, according to the Interior Department.
Scarabeo 9 was built "according to the latest and most advanced international standards available at the time of her design and construction," Rome-based Eni said in an e-mailed statement. "Health, safety and environmental protection are always a top priority."
Eni Subsidiary
The vessel "is one of the very few units in the industry which is using a technology which is not an American one," Pietro Franco Tali, chief executive officer of Eni's oilfield- services subsidiary, Saipem SpA, said on an Oct. 27, 2010, conference call.
One U.S. component is the blowout preventer, made by Houston-based National Oilwell Varco Inc. The company hasn't applied for a license to do business with Cuba and doesn't plan to, Chief Financial Officer Clay Williams said in a phone interview.
That means rig operators will have to seek training and spare parts in Europe or Asia, according to Hunt, whose group represents 1,494 companies including Saipem.
"It's like buying a Mercedes and being told you have to go to a Ford dealer for parts," Hunt said in an interview.
The results of Cuba's drilling may affect U.S. energy policy. Success would put pressure on the U.S. to open its waters surrounding Florida for exploration, Pinon said.
A serious accident off of Cuba could throw the industry out of the Gulf of Mexico, according to Brian Petty, executive vice president for governmental affairs of the drilling contractors' group.
"A mess" in Cuban waters would lead critics of drilling to say, "Stop it, don't let it go on anywhere," Petty said.

Dutch Fairmount Escorts Scarabeo 9 Rig around the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa
Fairmount Marine, a Dutch marine contractor for ocean towage and heavy lift transportation, announces that its powerful tug Fairmount Glacier has successfully assisted the new build semi submergible drilling rig Scarbeo 9 sailing around Cape of Good Hope.
For this operation Fairmount was contracted by Saipem Energies directly after the successful installation of the Usan FPSO Unit offshore Nigeria.
Fairmount Glacier was contracted to sail towards a meeting point offshore South Africa where she met with Scarabeo 9 and escorted her safely around the Cape of Good Hope. Despite the bad weather encountered during the route, the convoy proceeded at an average speed of 4.5 to 5.0 knots.
The semi submersible drilling rig Scarabeo 9 has a length of 115 metres, is 80 metres wide and her depth – from keel to main deck – is 35 metres. After they had safely cleared the South African Coast, the Master of Scarabeo 9 thanked Fairmount Glacier for her continued support throughout the voyage. The Fairmount Glacier returned to Cape Town.

Cuba remembers Ernest Hemingway with a Washington bar
By Kate Dailey BBC News Magazine
Tucked inside the Swiss Embassy, the cocktail area celebrates the writer who made his home in CubaCuban and American politicians have celebrated together at the opening of Hemingway's, an invitation-only bar located in a Washington, DC embassy.
It started like a typical Washington DC function. Men and women in dark suits milled around a formal room in the Swiss Embassy, crystal chandeliers sparkling overhead. Waiters carried around glasses of red and white wine while guests made polite small-talk.
But after a series of speeches, guests were led to the back of the room, and into an entirely different experience.
They had entered Hemingway's, a bar celebrating the American writer who made his home in Cuba. There, the floors were covered in terracotta tile, while wooden fans whirred above. Bartenders poured cocktails under a brass replica of Hemingway's signature.
Aside from the fact that it serves liquor, Hemingway's isn't a bar in the traditional sense. Tucked inside the embassy, where the Cuban Interests Section resides, the bar has a strict invitation-only list.
It will be used for entertaining guests of the Interest Section, so tourists hoping to catch happy hour are out of luck.
The bar's brass sign replicates Hemingway's signature
It's illegal for the bar to conduct any commerce, but the embassy is free from the trade embargo that forbids importing products from the communist country. So drinks were on the house, made with Cuban rum that's normally impossible to find in the US.
Terry McAullife, the former head of the Democratic National Committee, ordered the first drink – Havana Club Rum, straight.
Mr McAullife, who travelled to Cuba last year as part of a trade mission, thinks that doing more business with Cuba could be a key to creating American jobs.
"It's a huge market, and every other country in the world is already there," he says. "And Cubans love American products."
From Versailles to Havana
But the opening of the bar wasn't simply about facilitating Cuban-American commerce.
Instead, the night was more about celebrating Ernest Hemingway, described as a "cultural bridge" by Jennifer Phillips, the grand-daughter of Hemingway's editor. Ms Phillips is co-founder of the Finca Vigia foundation, devoted to preserving Hemingway's Cuban home.
She spoke before the opening of the bar, reminding the audience that Hemingway is treasured by both nations.
The chief of the Cuban Interests Section told of a fishing contest between Castro and Hemingway
Neither the US nor Cuba have official embassies in the other's country; instead both have Interests Sections located in the Swiss embassies.
Neither group has a history of being particularly friendly towards the host nation, though Cuba-watchers hope that Hemingway's signals a positive change.
When the Interest Section in DC was due for a renovation, the Cuban diplomats decided to reclaim a bit of the space as their own.
"The room was like the palace of Versailles," says Juan Leon Lamigueiro, deputy chief of the diplomatic mission. "There was very little Cuban."
"So we decided to convert the warehouse annex into a bar dedicated to Hemingway."
While mojitos and Cuba Libras were being poured in the small back room that houses the bar, a 12-piece band played Latin music in the front of the hall.
A mural promoting Fidel Castro displayed prominently at the entrance of the embassy.
Sandra Levinson, resplendent in a sparkling black and blue blouse, spun and twirled with her partner. MS Levinson, executive director of the Center for Cuban Studies in New York City and director of the centre's Cuban Art Space, learned to dance during her many trips to Cuba, and had travelled down to Washington specifically to attend the opening.
As the crowd subsided, the hosts brought out cigars – the famous commodity that is forbidden in the US.
Reporters, bureaucrats, and Cuban emigrants happily puffed away – but more than one skittish politico declined to have their pictures taken enjoying Cuban contraband.
"You can write this," one conceded. "An anonymous Hill staffer said the mojitos were fantastic."

FLORIDA, January 31, 2013 — National security and foreign policy are subjects on which libertarians are often criticized as isolationist or naively idealistic. How could a liberty-oriented foreign policy be described? Domestic issues such as gun control and illegal immigration have returned to the forefront of our national discussion. What is the modern libertarian outlook on these topics?
The Campaign for Liberty is one of the best known libertarian organizations in American politics. In this second part of our discussion, John F. Tate, the Campaign's president, discusses these issues and more.
Joseph F. Cotto: National security is a subject on which libertarians are frequently criticized for various reasons. From your standpoint, how might a liberty-oriented foreign policy be described?
John F. Tate: The federal government will often use war or other crises to infringe on the rights of Americans in the name of so-called "safety" and "security," ultimately providing neither while actually weakening our defenses by deploying our fighting men and women across the globe as world policemen. Campaign for Liberty has primarily focused on combating the government's variety of invasions on our civil liberties these past several years. America's defense policy should be based on the Constitution, including going to war with a proper declaration by Congress. A constitutional foreign policy would keep America safe, while avoiding conflicts that pose no direct national security threat to the United States. Deter through strength and lead by example.
Cotto: Domestic issues such as gun control and illegal immigration have returned to the forefront of our national discussion. How would you describe the modern libertarian outlook on such topics?
Tate: Campaign for Liberty opposes measures that restrict the Second Amendment rights of Americans, especially those that also pose serious privacy questions, such as allowing the government to access an individual's mental health records before they can purchase a firearm. Immigration is a much more difficult topic, and our movement, like the rest of the country, is continuing to discuss how best to deal with this issue moving forward.
Cotto: How was the Campaign for Liberty formed?
Tate: Campaign for Liberty was formed after Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign as a way to build on the success and energy of the campaign and continue promoting the principles of limited constitutional government. Dr. Paul asked me to try to see if we could create a national, grassroots organization that would become the leading voice for liberty activists at the local, state, and national levels. Since our founding, Campaign for Liberty has grown to over 500,000 members, and, in our humble opinion, has in fact become the leading voice of liberty activists who want to see changes made in our government.
Cotto: What is the Campaign's ultimate political goal?
Tate: Campaign for Liberty seeks to organize grassroots activists to promote limited government at the local, state, and national levels. Obviously our ultimate goal would be to effect change at all levels through our grassroots lobbying efforts so that the majority of our elected officials vote to restore our liberties, cut spending, decease the size and scope of government, and restore our Constitution.
Cotto: During the years ahead, which path do you see the Campaign taking?
Tate: I see it continuing to grow as more Americans become fed up with the status quo and as C4L keeps mobilizing our large network of activists to take action and spread the liberty message. Campaign for Liberty will be on the frontlines fighting for constitutional government, defeating the statists' schemes, and winning on liberty issues for years to come.

Talk to the hand with the Color Ring concept
Thank God for Argentine design team BCK, whose Color Ring idea could put a stop to those hideous headsets* that make us all look like androids. Consisting of two rings, the larger of which fits on the thumb and acts as the earpiece, and a smaller one which slides halfway down your little finger and acts as a speaker.
Yup, that means that you can make that ubiquitous "call me" sign with your hand. There are distance sensors in the ring that connect and disconnect the phone depending on what you're doing with your digits. And any tech-minded Crip or Blood might have fun modifying this idea. Basic instructions and a bonus pic are below.
*I know the Jawbone is seen as a cut above, but to me it still smacks of ick.

The public will soon have its say about what should be done with the Albany County nursing home. County Executive Dan McCoy is pushing a plan for privatization. But as YNN's Lori Chung reports, legislators say residents haven't been given all the facts.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- "We need vision. We need to have this done," said Albany County Executive Dan McCoy
McCoy is pushing a plan to privatize the county nursing home. He says it costs $400 a day to house each resident, most of whom rely on Medicaid.
"With the federal reimbursement rate, it comes out to $200 a day that we're losing for every senior that we have in our nursing home and right now, we have 217 seniors," McCoy said.
McCoy says that adds up to $1 million in losses each month. And he says his proposal to hand over the reins to Upstate Services Group is being blocked by the legislature and is planning a series of public hearings to let taxpayers have their say.
"They table eldercare. They table the contract the other night. They said they wanted to have a hearing in April," McCoy said. "The legislature needs to stop doing their stall tactics and make a decision."
McCoy says his plan will save $70 million over the next 10 years and help the county meet the two percent tax cap, but legislative majority leader Frank Commisso says legislators haven't been given any documentation showing the nursing home is operating that far in the red and says they're taking their time to make sure the county's most vulnerable residents are protected.
Commisso said, "Yet again, the county exec has offered an incomplete analysis of the fiscal reality of Albany County Nursing Home. We are looking at every way possible to continue the service that we have had over the years with our senior population."
Those who want to weigh in on the future of the nursing home will get their chance next month when the first in series of public hearings gets underway on March 7th.

Mrs.AMB07:I'm full term on 12/22 so even though DS was a week early, I think I'll be find until January. I'm really hoping for LO's sake to miss the week between Christmas and New Years. If I had a request it would be between 1/3 and 1/12
I'm hoping I go a little late again, say around January 9th?! I know that since that's what I'm hoping for, it won't happen!
After TTC w/ PCOS for 17 mo.s, we finally got our BFP!
First u/s 5/19/11 showed: ♥Twins!♥ Second u/s 8/12/11 showed: Girls!
12/20/11 & 12/21/11: 2 Little Girls, 2 Birthdays, and 2 Very Different Personalities!
Soon to be Big Sisters! Baby #3 due 4/18/14
cschissell:I highly doubt I will go early even if that is what I would prefer a 12/30 or 12/31 baby. I have a feeling I will be close to 2 weeks late and almost have him in February.
This is how I'm feeling. I'd love to have a New Year's Eve baby since will technically be full term, but since I'm hoping for it, my LO will probably stay in extra long just to be difficult and show me who's boss.
I'm hoping for a Dec baby (not a Nov baby!). I'm IUGR so the doctor has told me the chances of going past 37 weeks are slim to none. 37 weeks is Dec 16th.
Taking things day by day for now.
haha nooooo. not for me, due Jan 26/27... I'm just hoping this isn't a FEBRUARY baby!!
(BTW I'm letting you know now that even if this kid is two weeks late and comes smack in the middle of the "lovebugs" I am staying right here on the January board. mmmkay?)

William Franklin Draper (b. 1912)
Lieutenant Commander, USNR
Born in Hopedale, Massachusetts, Draper attended the National Academy of Design and the Cope Art School in Massachusetts and also studied in France and Spain. Commissioned early in 1942, he created a series of paintings during his coverage of the Aleutians, Bougainville and the Marianas campaigns, many of which later appeared in color reproductions in the National Geographic Magazine. He was awarded the Bronze Star for his meritorious work as a combat artist in the Aleutians and under enemy attack in the South Pacific.
After returning to civilian life, William F. Draper earned an international reputation as a portraitist. His subjects have included John F. Kennedy (1962), the Shah of Iran (1967), James Michener (1979) and Richard M. Nixon (1981), as well as numerous other political, social, and corporate leaders. His work is included in the collections of a number of major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.

Movie Description
Fabled British comedy troupe Monty Python presents its interpretation of King Arthur's search for the mythical Holy Grail. But really it's just an excuse to let the unparalleled Monty Python comedic imagination riff on medieval times. King Arthur (Graham Chapman) rounds up Sir Galahad the Pure (Michael Palin), Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones), Sir Lancelot the Brave (John Cleese), and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot (Eric Idle). The group travels the countryside on "horseback" (servants clicking coconuts to make hoof sounds) to find the Grail. They encounter witch trials, taunting Frenchmen, and a ridiculous array of friends and foes, including the Knights Who Say Ni and a killer rabbit. The timeless satire more quotable lines than just about any comedy in history.

By Mike Handley
While a lot of deer hunters find sleep difficult on the eve of opening day, Bob Richardson made no effort to get out of bed when the alarm clock sounded. He might've remained there, too, had his wife, Melody, not rousted him.
"Your alarm went off," she mumbled.
"Yes, I know," he said, eyes still shut.
"Aren't you going hunting?"
"There's probably no point."
It wasn't that the 55-year-old preacher needed the sleep. He was just weary of climbing into his favorite ladder stand and seeing nothing.
That hadn't been the case during the early days in 2010, but during the 14 days leading up to Illinois' first shotgun season, he'd seen not a hair. He was thinking about all those wasted hours when his wife's voice again drifted over the bedcovers.
"So there was a point to buying all those deer tags and equipment?"
He got up out of bed.
Bob's favorite ladder stand was on 65 acres managed by a friend, who'd invited him to hunt. Daylight was breaking by the time he reached the farm, so rather than walk to the ladder, he decided to remain on the ground and watch a mown swath of CRP.
About 6:45, a doe and a huge buck ran across it at 200 yards, heading for the adjacent cornfield. Not content to wait and hope they'd come back, Bob snuck close enough to see into the field.
When he eased up like a cheetah in tall grass, he saw a doe, a tall-racked 8-pointer and a couple of small bucks. There was no sign of the mature stud he'd seen chasing a doe, at first. But then he saw a deer's back just beyond the field's crown, and when it lifted its head, Bob's eyes grew big as boiled eggs.
After running the other bucks out of the field, the big one corralled the doe, and for the next 35 minutes, it mounted her at least 12 to 14 times, while Bob crouched in the grass 185 yards away, cell phone to his ear, binoculars to his eyes, and single-shot 20 gauge laying beside him.
While watching them copulate repeatedly, he was alternately on the phone with his grown son, Justin, and friend, as much to keep calm as to make certain he could shoot out into the field.
When the deer left, Bob eased around to watch the low spot into which they'd disappeared. But then he went back and prayed they'd come back onto the field.
When the doe reappeared, Bob was on the phone with his friend. He asked one last time, "Can I shoot this field?"
"He told me, 'YES, I told you that you could,' and then I dropped the phone," Bob said. "When I looked up, the buck was only 50 yards away and staring at me."
That it didn't immediately flee is why it's not going to see its eighth year or taunt any more Union County drivers who travel the highway it regularly crossed.
Bob couldn't have been more thrilled. He was practically speaking in tongues when he saw the rack up close, though he had no clue it would score as well as it did. The rack (spread included) is just 7 inches shy of the 200 mark. Its official BTR score is 176 7/8 inches.
The full story will appear this fall in RACK magazine.

DePaul women fall short against No. 3 Notre Dame
HARTFORD, Conn. With DePaul's Big East season over, coach Doug Bruno turned his attention to the NCAA tournament.
Bruno expects his Blue Demons to make the NCAAs for a 10th straight season and play in Chicago for the first two rounds which the school is hosting.
"We've put ourselves in position to earn that," said Bruno after his team fell in the Big East quarterfinals to No. 3 Notre Dame 69-54 on Sunday. "There are only 33 teams that do that if you don't win your league outright. I want them to understand that it's not something easy to do. People take it for granted. It's hard to earn your way into the NCAA tournament."
Bruno thinks his team's resume speaks well for an at-large bid.
"I don't want to be presumptuous here, but I think we've earned it," he said.
For the Blue Demons to be successful in the NCAA tournament, they will need to continue getting a balanced offense. On Sunday, DePaul leading scorer Anna Martin was bottled up by a stingy Notre Dame defense. The junior guard only had seven points after she put up 33 in the second round.
"This has never been the Anna show," Bruno said. "She's taken about 15 shots a game, and that's a pretty reasonable number for a scorer. She took 10 shots, that's a tribute to Notre Dame too. We're at our best when we're balanced."
The Irish used a variety of defenders to contain Martin, who is averaging 19.1 points.
"I think everybody did guard her a little bit and I think that probably trying to keep a little fresher defender on her was a little bit more effective," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said.
The Irish used a balanced offense to beat the Blue Demons.
Devereaux Peters had 16 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks for the Irish. Natalie Novosel added 16 points and Kayla McBride had 14 for the Irish (29-2) who are coming off the program's first outright regular-season conference championship.
Katherine Harry had 10 of her 14 points in the first half for eighth-seeded DePaul (22-10).
Notre Dame took control of the game with a 14-0 run that began in the first half and ended three minutes into the second with a 3-pointer from Novosel that gave the Irish a 48-26 lead.
The Blue Demons fought back, cutting the lead to 11 on a jumper by Jasmine Penny with 7:30 left in the game.
But three straight layups from Peters along with a blocked shot on the other end stretched the lead back out to 17, and DePaul could get no closer than 10 the rest of the way.
"Devereaux's a great defender, she got defensive player of the year in our league," Harry said. "She's really long and uses her length and has great timing on blocking shots. Give respect where respect is due. She got herself some easy buckets on getting some offensive rebounds."
DePaul hit four of its first six shots and led 10-7 early on the strength of two 3-pointers by Deanna Ortiz. But Notre Dame responded with an 11-2 run to take the lead for good.

May the fourth be with you
There has to be a name for this kind of thing, that is, a situation where the speaker says one word and you hear another word. And I don't mean "mishearing." I mean intentionally choosing a like word that layers meaning. Like in the movie Ten Things I Hate About You when the character hedges her way around admitting that she flashed someone she says, "I dazzled him with my wits."
Is it simply a pun?
I feel like linguists likely have some more technical term.
Anyway, it's May the fourth, and may the force be with you.
Amusing tidbit: I have just enough religious call and response drilled into me that whenever I hear may the force be with you I have to stop myself from automatically spouting off and also with you. I can't be the only person with this problem.

I would be into Star Wars Day if it was specifically original Star Wars Day and not crappy recent Star Wars Day.

We are currently conducting a survey among visitors to playlsi.com
We value your feedback, and would appreciate if you took a few minutes to answer some questions. Thanks!
Playgrounds are a place for play and learning, where children develop physical and cognitive skills, and where they build valuable social relationships. It's about creating spaces where all kids can explore in a variety of settings, addressing a variety of interests, senses and skills. Not all playgrounds today can be considered inclusive.
This session will provide participants with an overview of the emerging awareness of a new population of children on the playground, and how to create playground designs that meet their unique needs. Attendees will learn more about the range of disabilities of playground participants and especially the rapidly growing incidence of children with autism and related spectrum disorders. Tips and strategies will be provided on how to make small to major changes in their play spaces to make playgrounds not just welcoming, but engaging, challenging and therapeutic. Participants will gain ideas on how to plan inclusive playgrounds that are embraced by the community and create a source of community pride.
Landscape Structures is authorized by IACET to offer .20 CEUs for this session and 1.5 CEUs/Professional Development Units by LA CES. Upon completion of the session, participants will possess the ability to:

The website sportslogos.net has gotten a hold of the replica Buffalo Bills helmet via an anonymous source, which is set to go on sale June 24 following the organization's official unveiling of their new uniforms at a party taking place at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The helmet contains a thin navy blue stripe on either side of the royal blue stripes up the middle of the helmet. The helmet also contains grey facemasks. As Buffalo Rumblings reports, the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals are the only other NFL teams to sport white helmets with grey facemasks.
The uniform unveiling is set to begin at 6:30pm that night at the stadium. Assuming the lockout is still in effect, current players will not be able to showcase the new digs. The team stated a few weeks ago that members of the U.S. military as well as alumni players will be involved in the ceremony. The team plans to have concessions available at what they're calling "family friendly" prices and will have live music and members of the Buffalo Jills.

Boulevard Theatre
82-22 Northern Boulevard,
Jackson Heights,
3 people favorited this theater
The Boulevard Theatre first opened in November, 1926, and was one of three theatres built in NW Queens by the Grob & Knobel circuit with Herbert J. Krapp as architect. The Boulevard Theatre in the Jackson Heights section of Queens, was the only one of the three with stage facilities large enough to handle a live play or musical. Unlike the other two, it also had a balcony; the Sunnyside Theatre had all of its seats on a steeply raked main floor, while the Jackson Theatre had a raised "stadium" section of seats at the rear of the auditorium.
The Boulevard Theatre was designed to be a playhouse, with bookings of shows that had recently closed on Broadway or were "trying out" enroute. The attractions ran from Monday through Saturday, with Sunday used for vaudeville and a feature movie.
In 1928, when William Fox acquired the Grob & Knobel theatres, he kept the Boulevard Theatre legit by sub-leasing it to Louis Werba, who also operated playhouses in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Upper Manhattan. The onset of the Depression sent both Fox and Werba into bankruptcy, so the Boulevard became a double-feature movie house under Fox's successor, Skouras Theatres, which also took over the Jackson Theatre and Sunnyside Theatre (later sold to Century Theatres).
Due to its location in a residential area on Northern Boulevard that was a long walk from the 82nd Street shopping district around Roosevelt Avenue, the Boulevard Theatre never did as well as the Jackson Theatre, but it survived a triplexing in the early-1970s before a decline in the neighborhood caused its closure. It sat vacant for at least a decade while a battle raged over the owner's plan for demolition, which was opposed by the community.
The Boulevard Theatre was finally sold for conversion to what has become the highly succesful Natives Restaurant-Theatre, catering to Queens' very large Hispanic community. The restaurant-bar takes up the Boulevard's former entrance and lobby, while the three auditoriums are used for plays, concerts, and sometimes imported movies.

dag. none of these photos work??
Sorry to be more than a day late and a dollar short, NativeForestHiller, but here are the updated links to the photos I had posted back in 2006:
Interior restaurant from website
Interior bar area from website
There is some original architectural work still preserved in the ceiling of the first two interior shots and a glimpse of some sidewall decoration exposed in the last shot, just to the right of dead center where that opening in the red curtain is.
Thank you for sharing these images of the facade & interior, Ed. Too bad the facade has that tacky aluminum siding. I hope the owners see our correspondence, and restore the theater. A restored facade = A greater entrance, which is better for business. I love envisioning what it would be like to peel back the layers.
At this theatre Mae West's play THE PLEASURE MAN had a week long try-out before opening on Broadway and the Biltmore Theatre for 1.5 performances before it was raided by the police. Because of the openly gay characters in the play it was deemed indecent. The run at this theater was the week of September 24th 1928.
I went to movies at the Boulevard in the 60's with my best friend, Richard L. A movie I recall seeing was 'Yours Mine and Ours' with Lucille Ball. We used to be slightly difficult with the matron, throwing candy at her bottom, never realizing she was there to protect us! Very young, I remember attending a children's theater stage show of 'Aladdin and His Magic Lamp' produced by a friend of my mother's. My Junior High graduation was also held here; my parents told me there was line for the payphone(s) thru the ceremony while guys called their bookies! Ah Queens! All the theaters in Jackson Heights were a little 'off' in the 60's, like a worn-out bowling alley (which Jackson Heights also had), which definitely lent to their appeal for us! I believe on the corners were Paladino Pharmacy, Cook Funeral Home, and a Firehouse. I recall one block west was the Manufacturers Hanover Bank, and the A&P with wooden floors and a cow-catcher at the checkout that the checker mightily pulled to bring your groceries to the register.
I forgot to note that the Daily News published a WWII photograph showing a victory garden taking up the entire block between the Boulevard and St.Marks on 34th ave.
On Tuesday 6 March 1951, Bela "Dracula" Lugosi presented his in person Horror and Magic Stage show at Skouras Boulevard. Currently I am conducting research on all things Lugosi; if anyone out there actually saw this show and/or has memorabilia (poster, handbill, photos) related to this show, please contact Bill at Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Looks like the name Boulevard has returned to this establishment, per this recent photo posted to the Flickr website. Not sure when Natives went down and Boulevard took its place, but seems to be more or less the same business model.
Interesting! Though the "Boulevard Latin Cuisine" sign makes no mention of a theater, as the old one did. Wonder if they're still utilizing that space.
Many stories to tell about the Boulevard. But for beginners, here's a list of the movies I saw there (in order of which I remembered them: The Robe The King and I Beneath the 12 Mile Reef It Came from Outer Space (3D) A Star is Born Second Chance (3D) Phantom of the Rue Morgue (3D) Creature from the Black Lagoon (3D) The Best Years of Our Lives (reissue) Lady and the Tramp River of No Return Carmen Jones New Faces of 1952 East of Eden Three Coins in the Fountain Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom They Shoot Horses, Don't They? The Glenn Miller Story Calamity Jane I Am Curious Blue Song of the South Help!

Take Two for October 30, 2012
New Jersey hit hard by flooding due to Hurricane Sandy
Mario Tama/Getty Images
Resident Kim Johnson inspects the area around her apartment building (L) which flooded and destroyed large sections of an old boardwalk on October 30, 2012 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Johnson fled the area when the water began to rise yesterday. The storm has claimed at least 16 lives in the United States, and has caused massive flooding accross much of the Atlantic seaboard. US President Barack Obama has declared the situation a 'major disaster' for large areas of the US East Coast including New York City.
Across the Hudson River from New York City, New Jersey was pounded by the storm. A levee broke in northern New Jersey, submerging the entire town of Moonachie, with more than 1,000 people being evacuated as of this morning.
And last night, Atlantic City was cut off from the mainland by the rising tide of water. Throughout the state, millions of home are still without power and at least three people have been killed.
For an on-the-ground look at the devastation, we're joined by Bob Hennelly, reporter for New York Public Radio and New Jersey Public Radio.
