Teenage Ninja Turtles Delayed

Paramount Pictures has announced that the Teenage Ninja Turtles movie will be delayed til May 16, 2014.

It had been scheduled to hit theaters December 2013.

The movie has already taken a lot of heat with Producer Michael Bay's announcement that the turtles would be aliens, instead of mutants.

Bay has responded to the anger, over the change, by promising fans that it'll be worth it.

No word was given on why the delay was taking place.

This is the third movie to be delayed by Paramount, within the last few weeks. G I Joe Retaliation was pushed back nine months and World War Z about six.

50 Mph Winds Striking High Park Fire Area

Braced by winds reaching fifty miles per hour, Colorado's High Park Fire has reached over 55,000 acres.

Nearly 1,700 people, over 100 engines, seventeen helicopters, and eleven aircraft are fighting the fire.

Containment on the fire is nearing forty-five percent, and hopes are to maintain that if not improve upon it, despite the winds.


The high winds have caused near evacuations, and halted the planned returns.


Almost two hundred homes have been damaged or destroyed, and one person lost their life to the fire.

It is being called the most destructive fire in Colorado history, and has cost around ten million dollars.

Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Dead at 78

Saturday Nayef bin Abdulaziz, the Saudi Crown Prince died of unknown causes.

A three day mourning period is expected to follow the funeral, on Sunday.

Bahrain and Kuwait have both announced a mourning period of their own.

It was just in October that he had been named heir to the throne.

Nayef had led the Saudi side of the war against Al-Qaeda, since 9-11.

His son, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, will now be the Saudi lead in the war on terror.

Sometime in the next week a new heir is expected to be announced.

Remembering: Breed's Hill

June 17, 1775 General Howe orders his twenty-four hundred British troops up Breed's Hill against entrenched colonials.

General William Prescott ordered his militiamen to hold fire until they could see the whites of the British eyes.

At forty yards they unleashed, and broke the British ranks.

Howe ordered another wave forward, and the story repeated.

The third British wave came as the militia was running low on ammo, giving the British a chance to break into the outnumbered colonial line, and forcing the militia to retreat.

British forces chased them to Bunker Hill, and then gave up pursuit. The redcoats had suffered a loss of nearly one thousand troops including ninety-two officers.

Colonial forces may have lost the strategic position, but the battle only built their morale.

It was the last time that the British would attempt a purely frontal assault against American militias.

For some reason history generally remembers it as the battle of Bunker Hill, where the militia were chased to, rather than Breed's where it was fought. 

Yemen's Military Continues Advances Against Al Qaeda

After multiple successes earlier this week, Yemen's military continues it's gains.

The army moved into the town of Shuqra on Friday, the third city this week that they've taken back from Al Qaeda.

Al Qaeda had taken the towns, and others over the past year.

Things have changed though as Saudi Arabia began putting money into paying for US training for the Yemeni troops.

Saudi Arabia and the US were both concerned by the gains Al Qaeda had been enjoying, in their ally.

Parts of Yemen are still under Al Qaeda's power, but thousands of Yemeni troops are working hard to eliminate their presence.

Obama Halting Deportations

President Obama today announced that he plans on halting the deportations of nearly one million illegal immigrants.

His new presidential note, gives immunity to illegal immigrants who are currently under thirty, were under sixteen when brought to the US, have lived here for at least five years and graduated high school, and not have any felonies.

Very few have come out in support of Obama's move, even most Democrats have backed away from the issue, for now.

Many opponents of the move are pointing out the blatant circumvention of Congress, and therefore illegal nature of such a move.

Congress has repeatedly voted no on the so called dream act which would give immunity to many illegal immigrants.

Other opponents question how Obama can justify the move, whilst at the same time millions of citizens are out of work.

Even some illegal immigrant activists are wary of the move, noting that it is really only a memo, not an actual executive order.

They worry that it is simply just another empty promise from the Democrat party, in an effort to gain votes and support.

Hispanics voted nearly two to one for Obama, in 2008; but since then have becoming increasingly critical of his administration's lack of work towards any kind of immigration reform.

It is important to note that not all illegal immigrants come from Latino countries; they come from all over the world, of all different races and ethnicity.

Cain Throws Perfect Game

On Wednesday Matt Cain, of the San Fransisco Giants, forever put himself in the books.

He threw the twenty-second perfect game in baseball's history, and the first for the Giants.

With one hundred and twenty-five pitches, he managed a career high fourteen strike outs.

The game was saved on two occasions by great catches from his outfield.

In the sixth, left fielder Melky Cabrera made a leaping catch at the wall, and then in the seventh right fielder Gregor Blanco made a diving catch.

This was the second perfect game of the season, a feat which has only been done twice before; in the 2009 season, and then way back in 1880.

It also marked the fifth no hitter of the season.

Obama Skips on Food Bill

Obama is really regretting this mistake.

On Tuesday he compared Republicans to people who order the most expensive stuff, "and then, just as you're sitting down, they leave, and accuse you of running up the tab".

The analogy truly didn't make a lot of sense then, but then again, consider the source.

But then Obama made it even better.

Wednesday he took four guests out for lunch, and then he and the group left, without paying the bill.

The White House paid off the bill about an hour later, but the damage was done, as the word had reached the press.

Obama's face painting was shown to be directly into a mirror.

Saudi Arabian Women Petition to Drive

Over six hundred women in Saudi Arabia have signed a petition to King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz.

The petition asks the king to make a law allowing women the right to get a driver's license and drive vehicles.


King Abdullah will receive the petition on Sunday, and many expect him to allow it.


Aziz is thanked, in the petition, for previously granting voting rights to women.

Women will get their first votes in the 2015 local elections.

Spanish Miners Launch Rockets at Police

Miners in Spain have been striking for over three weeks now.

They have been protesting austerity cuts that the government has begun.

Over the last few weeks they've clashed with police and the Spanish Civil Guard.

At times, police have used rubber bullets and tear gas to force rioting miners to back down.

But now things have escalated as the miners began launching home made rockets at the police lines.

So far no one has been seriously hurt, but things are becoming increasingly dangerous, with talks of bringing in the military to end the strike.
