I'm not a fan of their presentation although I can understand why someone would, fantastic technical performance though. They may medal after all if Bazarova/Larionov skate like TEB.

Erie woman charged with tying up, assaulting woman
An Erie woman remains in jail today on charges of tying up and assaulting a woman at an eastside residence on Monday night.
Chelsea K. Tate, 19, of the 1900 block of Linwood Avenue, was placed in the Erie County Prison on 10 percent of $15,000 bond after she was arraigned Tuesday before Erie 5th Ward District Judge Joseph Lefaiver on charges of aggravated assault and unlawful restraint.
Police accuse Tate of tying up a woman with a ripped T-shirt, beating her with a metal rod and holding a box cutter to her neck at a residence in the 500 block of East 22nd Street on Monday at about 9 p.m., according to the criminal complaint filed in the case.

Makes my hair shiny and soft without tangle
Posted by 5348301173126784771 on Nov 28, 2012
I have fine thin hair with hair fall problem. I wash my hair everyday since Singapore has a humid and warm climate. I try to avoid conditional because conditional makes my hair fall. This shampoo doesn't make my scalp itchy and I don't have to use conditional often (just once in a while). My hair is shiny and soft and it doesn't tangle after shampoo which makes me very happy ! I see lesser hair fall whenever I use this shampoo.
Perfectly well
Posted by TinVal on Aug 21, 2012
Wonderful shampoo - without all these nasty chemicals contained in most products. Very easy to wash out.
Desert Essence, Organics Hair Care, Shampoo, Fragrance Free
Posted by Reviewer2155453 on May 26, 2011
I am really thrilled with this. I have severe multiple chemical sensitivity and the things I've been using left my hair flat and dry. This does not bother me and really gives me some volume. Cleans great.
Great for Field Work
Posted by LantauMama on Jun 11, 2013
I work for an NGO, and our scientists are in the field studying wild animals - they cannot wear anything scented, so I bought them this (and the conditioner). Highly recommended for anyone that cannot have any fragrance for medical, personal or professional reasons.
Natural but drying
Posted by Reviewer1956232 on Apr 21, 2011
Sadly, as with most natural shampoos this shampoo made my hair dry and brittle. When I tried another shampoo for a few days, my hair got softer. I had high hopes as I like the conditioner, but don't think I will be able to continue using it.
Great Stuff
Posted by Reviewer3341637 on Feb 02, 2011
They must have changed the formulation since the earlier reviews. First, it's very easy to get out of the tube - the hole is not too small and the shampoo is not too thick. Second, a little does go a long way and it lathers the same as other shampoos. It leaves my hair soft.
good shampoo
Posted by Reviewer1853601 on Feb 25, 2009
I love this shampoo, no toxins, my hair really feels good. You only need a drop to creat a huge lather andx rinses out easy.
OK, but very drying
Posted by drgolf on Mar 24, 2014
Seems to work OK but makes my hair very dry and brittle. Maybe I'll use it once every 3 or 4 days. It doesn't seem it irritate my scalp like other shampoos though. Will look at other shampoos after this is done due to the drying nature.
Working great at first
Posted by 4640933288769482587 on Nov 04, 2013
Once i tried this shampoo i thought it was great. I was suffering from a flaky scalp (i have super dry and sensitive skin) and every single shampoo i tried made my condition worst. This shampoo made my hair feel so clean at first, i got rid of my flaky scalp, but after using it for a month my hair started to fall out and my skin got really irritated, so painful!
product works nicely but stings eyes and irritates lungs
Posted by 5746061563451169427 on Oct 26, 2012
I wanted to find a shampoo and conditioner that does not sting my eyes and irritate my lungs like most brands do. After looking at brands on the 'good guide' site I decided to try this brand since it was rated as being ten out of ten for having no chemicals that are of health concern. I tried desert essence and had the same bad reaction I get with regular supermarket brands that have all the harmful chemicals in them! Maybe I should just keep my hair really short and just wash it with soap.

Sabine~ that can be frustrating, I assume since you've been doing ADF for over 6 weeks your body is probably pretty used to it. Maybe try what you said the low carb friends said, eat even more on an up day and see if that helps move the scale. Also I don't know how close you are to goal but the closer you are the more things will slow down unfortunately. Hang in there I know how tough plateaus can be!
Glad morning~ enjoy the sushi but be careful too, from my understanding its not just the rice you gotta watch out for with sushi,but the seasoned rice wine vinegar that has sugars that they put on the rice!
Ekatherine~ i too love 900 calories meals when they happen. Carry on!
Ok so after my dd I'm down another 1.4 lbs(214.4)! My husband( not doing ADF just primal) lost 2 lbs overnight, I think the salmon agreed with both of us! I need to add fish at least weekly to our diets because we've been lacking it for sure! I'm totally looking forward to my ud! Gonna have left over ribs and cole slaw from the other night for lunch and gonna make a cauliflower crust pizza for dinner tonight. Hope everyone has a successful day!

When you lead the state in scoring for the first six weeks of the season, you begin to attract attention.
For Sean Hoehn, he's no longer flying under anyone's radar.
The Morristown guard, who is No. 5 in the state averaging 27.1 points per game, was nominated for the fan vote determining the best player in North Jersey, Section 2.
Last week, Sean Hoehn crossed the 1,000 career point mark in a victory over Chatham.
The vote, which has no impact on The Ledger Honors, takes into consideration players from Groups 1 through 4 in North Jersey, Section 2 and pits 12 players in a fan vote against each other to see which can gain the most votes.
Fans can vote as many times as they like until the poll closes Friday morning at 11 a.m. Last week, Waldwick senior guard Doug Palmadessa was voted the North Jersey, Section 1 winner, garnering more than 60,000 votes.

And why not? It's been such a big part of the last three unsuccessful attempts to unseat Marshall in a heavily Republican district.
This time, the National Republican Congressional Committee is calling on Marshall to give back a campaign donation he received from MoveOn.org, which of course is the group that bought a full page ad in The New York Times referring to General David Petraeus as General "Betray Us."
From the NRCC's press release:
Will Jim Marshall unload MoveOn.org's campaign cash after they called General Petraeus a traitor? So far he hasn't…
Will Jim Marshall, who has benefited in the past from over $3,000 in campaign cash from MoveOn.org, do more than pay lip service to the group's despicable behavior and give up the money MoveOn gave him? After all, he voted for Nancy Pelosi to become Speaker of the House, and now she seems to be working hand-in-glove with MoveOn.org.
Note the Pelosi reference. Hell, I thought Mac Collins was running against Pelosi instead of Marshall sometimes last year, he mentioned her so much.
Here's what the NRCC doesn't tell you: The MoveOn donation was made in 2000. You might note that's before Sept. 11, the Iraq war and Marshall's getting elected to Congress.
And Marshall's press secretary, Doug Moore, was more than happy to point out a television interview Marshall gave shortly after Gen. Petaeus' report on Iraq this week. Go here and scroll down to Marshall's segment. In it Marshall says he was "struck by how inappropriate" the MoveOn.org ad was.
"(It was) not at all a fair characterization of the character of Dave Petraeus," Marshall said.
Marshall, of course, knows the General and is a veteran himself, so he gets to call him "Dave."
Marshall also said Iraqis should look forward to the day when they can take out newspaper ads that amount to "a vicious attack against a commanding general... without fear of physical reprisal."
As for the substance of Petraeus' report, Moore said Marshall found it "spot on."
Moore also said that MoveOn.org is looking for a candidate to face Marshall in the Democratic primary. I tried to confirm that with MoveOn.org, but they haven't returned my telephone message or emails.
Ken Spain, press secretary for the NRCC, said the group stands behind it's press release. He said Marshall should give back the money and speak out against Democrats who are jumping on Petraeus and calling his report to Congress less-than-accurate.
By the way, retired Maj. Gen. Rick Goddard, who is campaigning to be the Republican nominee to face Marshall in the 8th Congressional District, put out a statement about Petraeus report earlier this week. An excerpt:
... it's clear from his testimony that the surge is meeting most of the military objectives. While we have seen measurable success, there remain significant challenges in achieving a stable Iraq government. The clear message is we are making progress and now is not the time to abandon the mission. It is imperative for the security of our nation and for our children and grandchildren that we do not allow Iraq to become a festering breeding ground of Islamic fascism. ...
There is no one better able to assess progress and future success than General Petraeus. ... Any effort to undermine the General or his mission is deplorable. ...
And finally, I found it utterly disgusting for Moveon.org to question General Petraeus' patriotism when he has spent the last 40 years of his life defending this nation. Moveon.org may not support this war, but to call General Petraeus a traitor is cowardice and un-American."
No word lately from former Congressman Mac Collins, who said he's considering another run against Marshall and would face Goddard in the primary.

No. 17 Michigan 40, Ohio State 34 | recap | box score
The Game. The Big House. The Urb. The instant classic rivalry game won by Michigan had a little bit of everything. Long runs, long passes, bad penalties, unquestionably poor play, indisputable excellence.
Media reports have Ohio State ready to name former Florida coach Urban Meyer its new head coach. If that's true, current coach Luke Fickell can say he ended his career with a loss but an impressive one. Ohio State had every reason to lie down before and during this game but never did. Particularly impressive was a five-play, 80-yard touchdown drive by the Buckeyes after they went down 10 midway through the fourth quarter.
Both teams looked brilliant for long stretches and lost for others. A Michigan fumble and botched snap on a punt led to 10 Ohio State points, while Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller badly missed at least four wide-open receivers, including a wide-open receiver on what could have been a game-winner with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson accounted for five TDs; he had touchdown runs of 47 and 6 yards and touchdown throws of 26, 20 and 4 yards. He completed 14 of 16 passes for 167 yards and ran 26 times for 167 yards.
Miller's numbers were nearly as impressive. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns and ran the ball 13 times for 91 yards and one score. —Matt Crossman

No. 2 Alabama 42, Auburn 14 | recap | box score
Asked immediately after the game why his team should be playing in the BCS National Championship, Alabama coach Nick Saban didn't mince words.
"We lost one game to the best team, probably, in the country," he said.
The Tide crushed bitter rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Now all they can do is wait. Top-ranked LSU is headed to Atlanta next week to play in the SEC Championship game against Georgia. LSU is the only team Alabama has lost to this year, but the Tide are among a handful of other one-loss teams who'll throw their hands up for a spot in the title game, as well.
That is out of Alabama's hands. This game, however, wasn't. Running back Trent Richardson bullied his way to a whopping 203 rushing yards on 27 carries and may have locked up the Heisman Trophy. A.J. McCarron completed 18 of 23 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns. And the Alabama defense did not give up a touchdown.
Auburn scored on a fumble recovery in the end zone and on an 83-yard kickoff return by Onterio McCalebb.
The stingiest defense in the nation allowed the Tigers 138 yards of total offense and nine first downs.
No. 4 Stanford 28, No. 22 Notre Dame 14 | recap | box score
Stanford won't be playing in the Pac-12 Championship game. It won't be playing for the national title. The Cardinal are still doing all they can to keep their heads up as it forges on for the remainder of a season that isn't nearly as promising as it was a few short weeks ago.
Still, quarterback Andrew Luck went about his business in shredding Notre Dame. He did it in large part by taking advantage of easily the best group of tight ends in the nation.
Levine Toilolo caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Luck, and Coby Fleener had two scores of 28 and 54 yards.
In what will surely be Luck's final game on Stanford's home field, Luck completed 19 of 29 passes for 221 yards and four touchdowns, and one interception.
Stanford, under first-year coach David Shaw, is likely in line for an at-large berth into a BCS game.
No. 6 Virginia Tech 38, No. 24 Virginia 0 | recap | box score
No. 6 Virginia Tech grabbed the ACC Coastal Division title with a victory over No. 24 Virginia.
The Hokies (11-1, 7-1) will play No. 18 Clemson in the ACC championship game in Charlotte next Saturday.
Quarterback Logan Thomas led the way for the Hokies as he passed for 187 yards and two touchdowns as well as rushing for another touchdown. Running back David Wilson ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns.
Virginia (8-4, 5-3) struggled to get its offense going against the Hokies' defense. The Cavaliers turned the ball over four times and were 3-of-11 on third down.
No. 7 Boise State 36, Wyoming 14 | recap | box score
Mercifully, Boise State ended its own misery by finding a pulse.
Wyoming led the Broncos 7-0 after one quarter and maintained that advantage until the final minute of the first half. That's when Doug Martin scored on a short touchdown run and as time expired, Kellen Moore found Matt Miller for a 46-yard TD strike. The extra point, by the way, was blocked.
Still, Boise State scored 23 unanswered points in the second half as it awoke from its slumber and finally put away Wyoming at Bronco Stadium. On defense, Boise State shut down a Wyoming offense that entered the game averaging 417 yards a game.
Moore completed 24 of 36 passes for 279 yards and Martin rushed for 153 yards.
No. 9 Oregon 49, Oregon State 21 | recap | box score
There is perhaps no other team in the nation with more playmakers than Oregon. The Ducks showed off their firepower once again Saturday in vanquishing Oregon State.
Oregon racked up an astonishing 667 yards of total offense, 39 first downs and seven touchdowns. Even though Oregon State had a respectable 319 yards of offense, it was hardly visible behind the Ducks' blur offense.
Oregon secured its place as the Pac-12 North champion and will host the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game against UCLA on Friday.
No. 10 USC 50, UCLA 0 | recap | box score
USC's season is over, despite a 10-2 record. The Trojans aren't eligible for the postseason, but will finish the year ranked in the Top 10 and with a victory over cross-town foe, UCLA.
Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley threw for 423 yards and six touchdowns. Robert Woods set the conference single-season record for receptions, thanks to his 12 receptions on the night for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
Marqise Lee also came up big with 13 receptions for 224 yards and two touchdowns.
The Bruins will play Oregon in the Pac-12 title game, since UCLA won the Pac-12 South.
USC lead 29-0 at halftime and put this game away early.
No. 11 Michigan State 31, Northwestern 17 | recap | box score
Earlier this week, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio was asked whether he would consider resting some of his players to better prepare them for the Big Ten Championship game Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.
Dantonio scoffed at the notion. It would be too dangerous to lose momentum, to ease off the gas at a critical juncture in the season. So he played everyone, and everyone came to play. The Spartans (10-2) dismissed Northwestern and cleared the path of any mental bugs they might have carried into next week with a loss.
The Spartans finished last year in a three-way tie for first in the Big Ten. In the end, it was Michigan State left out of a BCS game. Now is Sparty's chance to rid itself of that anguish. A Rose Bowl berth is one victory away.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed two touchdown passes to B.J. Cunningham, one for 33 yards and another for 29 yards. Keshawn Martin returned a punt 57 yards for a touchdown.
Northwestern was led by quarterback Dan Persa, who completed 23 of 32 passes for 245 yards and touchdowns to Jeremy Ebert and Demetrius Fields.
No. 12 Oklahoma 26, Iowa State 6 | recap | box score
The Big 12 race will be settled next week. If Oklahoma had lost Saturday to Iowa State, the Sooners would have been playing for nothing against archrival Oklahoma State on Dec. 3.
Instead, OU cruised over the same Cyclones who upset Oklahoma State a week ago.
Quarterback Landry Jones threw for 256 yards, and running back Blake Bell had two scores.
Oklahoma was coming off a big loss to Baylor last week. The Sooners' defense allowed a school-record 616 yards in the loss. This time, OU yielded a season-low 245 yards to Iowa State. The Cylcones' lone score came when the snap sailed over punter Tress Way's head in the first quarter.
No. 13 Georgia 31, No. 25 Georgia Tech 17 | recap | box score
Georgia coach Mark Richt started the year with his job in jeopardy. Now, the Bulldogs' coach has won the SEC East and to top things off, has defeated in-state rival Georgia Tech.
Now, the Bulldogs turn their attention to another trip to Atlanta in a few days to face SEC West juggernaut LSU in the SEC Championship game. Win or lose, there's a good chance LSU will play for the BCS title. But a win for Georgia would put a stamp on this turnaround season.
With the ball in the hands of sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray, Georgia compiled 380 yards of total offense in the rout. Murray completed 19 of 29 passes for 251 yards and four touchdowns, with one interception.
Murray distributed the ball to nine players as he found holes in the Yellow Jackets' secondary.
Georgia led 17-10 at halftime and extended the lead early in the third quarter when Murray connected with Tavarres King for a 3-yard score. Aron White caught another 3-yard toss from Murray with 2:57 left in the third quarter to make it 31-10.
Tech finally scored in the fourth quarter when Orwin Smith ran it in from 16 yards.
No. 14 South Carolina 34, No. 18 Clemson 13 | recap | box score
COLUMBIA, S.C.—For the third year in a row, South Carolina owns the football bragging rights in its own state.
The Gamecocks knocked off Clemson on Saturday night for the third time in as many years. It's the first time they've pulled off the trifecta since 1968-70, and it's their fourth win in the past six meetings.
And to add just a little more thrill to the victory for South Carolina fans, the win ensured that the rival Tigers will enter the postseason on an ugly slide. Clemson, which plays Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game next Saturday in Charlotte, has lost three of four games after starting the season 8-0.
Clemson might have had the better athletes in this game, but Connor Shaw was the difference-maker. South Carolina's sophomore quarterback topped 100 yards rushing for the first time in his career and threw three touchdown passes. Star wideout Alshon Jeffery, who left the game early with an injured left hand, returned to catch that final touchdown toss. If the junior winds up heading to the NFL after this season—he's a first-round lock—that will have been a fitting conclusion to his career in Columbia. — Ryan Fagan
No. 15 Wisconsin 45, No. 20 Penn State 7 | recap | box score
Wisconsin punched its ticket to Indianapolis and the Big Ten championship game where it has reservations for a rematch with Michigan State.
Wisconsin enters next week's game at Lucas Oil Stadium seeking redemption after it lost to Michigan State on a Hail Mary in October.
The Badgers destroyed No. 20 Penn State and clinched a share of the Leaders Division title. It advances to the title game by virtue of its head-to-head win over the Nittany Lions.
Wisconsin, as it has all season, used its dynamic offensive duo of running back Montee Ball and quarterback Russell Wilson to deliver steady damage to Penn State's defense. Wilson completed 18 of 28 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns. Ball rushed for 156 yards and four scores as Wisconsin racked up 448 yards of total offense.
Penn State eked out 231 yards, but had just 13 first downs the whole game. Neither quarterback Matt McGloin nor his backup, Rob Bolden, were terribly effective. McGloin completed nine of 17 passes for 97 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
No. 21 Baylor 66, Texas Tech 42 | recap | box score
Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin took a hard hit to the chin late in the first half and did not return to the game in the second half of the Bears' win over Texas Tech.
Griffin was hit while trying to slide. He briefly came out of the game, then returned to score on a 3-yard touchdown.
But after the break, backup Nick Florence took over. Griffin left having completed 7 of 11 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown, and he had 62 rushing yards. Florence had 160 passing yards and threw two touchdown passes.
Texas Tech's Seth Doege had 339 passing yards and three touchdowns (2 INTs) in the loss.

No. 1 LSU 41, No. 3 Arkansas 17 | recap | box score
Let's see, wins against seven teams ranked in the Top 25, including three ranked in the top three. Yes, these LSU Tigers are good, and now they're headed to the SEC championship game to take on Georgia.
Even if the Tigers (12-0) inexplicably stumble in Atlanta against the Bulldogs next week, the Tigers still could play for the national title, provided they fall no further than one spot in the BCS rankings. Given their resume, they would have a very good chance of doing just that.
Friday's score indicated a blowout, and even more impressive is that LSU spotted Arkansas (10-2) a 14-0 lead before getting going. Tyrann Mathieu's 92-yard punt return capped that comeback from two scores down, and LSU never looked back from that point.
No. 8 Houston 48, Tulsa 16 | recap | box score
This is what Case Keenum came back for -- to lead the Cougars to a magical season.
Keenum threw for 457 yards and five touchdowns, seemingly ho-hum numbers for the star QB, as Houston clinched Conference USA's West Division and a berth in the league's championship game next week.
The Cougars (12-0) will host either Southern Miss or Marshall in next weekend's title game. The Golden Eagles would figure to provide the tougher matchup, considering they were eyeing a 10-win season with a win over woeful Memphis on Saturday.
No. 22 Nebraska 20, Iowa 7 | recap | box score
The Hawkeyes knew that the Cornhuskers' run-heavy attack would be coming, and yet they were powerless to stop it.
Rex Burkhead rushed a career-high 38 times for 160 yards as Nebraska (9-3, 5-3 Big Ten) finished above .500 in in its first season in its new conference. Burkhead shouldered more of the offensive load with QB Taylor Martinez injuring an ankle in the first quarter, and he didn't mind the extra work.
"Definitely a little sore, but it feels good," Burkhead said after the game. "It was a great win to have the seniors go out that way and in that fashion. That's the thing that feels the best about the game."
Nebraska built a 20-0 lead before Iowa could even put its first and only points on the board late in the fourth quarter on a Marcus Coker's 2-yard TD run.
Nebraska remains in the running for a Jan. 2 bowl game, while Iowa (7-5, 4-4) figures to be playing in Texas in late December.

Price Spreads from Farm to Consumer
Stay Connected
ERS compares prices paid by consumers for food with prices received by farmers for corresponding commodities. This data set reports these comparisons for a variety of foods sold through retail foodstores such as supermarkets and supercenters.
Comparisons are made for individual foods and groupings of individual foods—market baskets—that represent what a typical U.S. household buys at retail in a year. The retail costs of these baskets are compared with the money received by farmers for a corresponding basket of agricultural commodities.
ERS data on price spreads for meat, pork, poultry, and eggs can be found in the Meat Price Spreads data product. A different method is used to calculate monthly price spreads for beef, pork, broilers, turkeys, and eggs.

The neighborhood has changed, so have the schools and some downtown businesses.
New faces have appeared, some which are covered, other ones show familiar characteristics. Recognizable languages are heard and others sound foreign. New but somewhat old customs and traditions like the "quinceanera" and the "compadrazgo" (religious baptism rites) complement the Cinco de Mayo culture.
These are snapshots and expressions of our new immigration.
We are all immigrants. Vast and complex forces impact the immigrant stream that motivates people to leave home and family to live in a different cultural and political environment.
In Greeley the development of irrigation systems led to the growth of the sugar beet industry. The cultivation and processing of sugar beets required stoop laborers.
The first immigrants to work the beet fields were German political refugees fleeing Russian injustices. They established a neighborhood in East Greeley.
They were replaced by Japanese workers who left the discrimination and prejudice of the West Coast; their arrival caused tensions with the local Germans.
The Japanese immigrants followed the path to land ownership and farming. The sugar beet industry continued to thrive, requiring a steady supply of laborers.
Fear and discrimination have been the burden imposed on successive immigrant groups. The German Americans suffered the consequences of World War I. Their language was attacked (see the U.S. Court case of Meyer v. Nebraska). Likewise, Japanese Americans became the victims of the Asian exclusion laws.
The next immigrant group who met the ire of the Ku Klux Klan were the Mexican beet workers. Check the records in the 1920s, the KKK was listed as one of Greeley's community service clubs along with the Lions, Rotary and Kiwanis.
Mexican immigration differs from the European immigration due to the proximity of their homeland; they were/are entering former Mexican territory. Additionally, racial practices and laws were and are factors that affect their assimilation into American society.
There are three distinct Mexican immigrant groups. Included among the three are Mexican Americans, who were recruited from New Mexico and established the "Spanish Colonies," some of which still exist in Weld County. Other colonies were also established along the South Platte River from Kersey to Sedgwick.
The second Mexican immigrant group is comprised of migrant farm workers from the lower Rio Grande River; the third includes Mexicans from Mexico, many of whom fled the Mexican Revolution of 1910-17.
My father was one of those who left Mexico during the Christ War. He told me when he arrived in El Paso, Texas, he paid a fee and signed a book. He came north to Weld County, residing briefly in east Eaton. Later he moved to the mountains and worked in the mines. His experience and how he entered the United States describes the amorphous nature of federal immigration laws.
His experience was not an anomaly; rather, it was shared by many of his fellow countrymen. They entered the country during a period of high nativist activity followed by the Great Depression and voluntary repatriations (deportations).
Deportations of the 1950s and the ending of the Bracero program in 1964 followed by the Simpson-Mazzoli Act of 1986 have failed to regulate immigration and our community has reaped the consequences.
Incorporation of our immigrants from Mexico or Central America and most recently from Somalia is a community issue.
The old three generational acculturation processes is history; a new model is needed. Diversity is the path that has made America great.
Still, as one skeptic in observance of illegal immigration problem told me, "My grandfather worked hard and he made it." I replied, "Your grandfather did not need a Social Security number!"
Our history still haunts us.

The 2012 regular season is in the books and while the Colts prepare for the playoffs, the NFL released the opponents they will be facing next season:
Home: Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Denver, Oakland, Miami, Seattle, St. Louis
Away: Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Kansas City, San Diego, Cincinnati, Arizona, San Francisco
After an 11-5 season, the expectations will certainly be very high. The Colts could very well win the AFC South next year. There are some great match ups outside the division too (Oakland, Miami, Arizona, Kansas City) . Another 10+ win season isn't impossible. Playing the 49ers in San Francisco looks pretty scary but it will be a nice test for the Colts.
Of course, there's one particular game that will be really special for Indy and that's Peyton Manning's return to Lucas Oil Stadium.
That will certainly be a very emotional day for players, fans and Manning himself. I know a lot of people that stopped rooting for the Colts after March 8th and decided to follow the greatest QB of all time to Denver.
Today it's really tough to blame Jim Irsay for the decision to cut Manning and take Luck to start a new era. The Colts just won 11 games and they made it back to the playoffs.
However, the city of Indianapolis still cares a lot about Peyton Manning. Expect some sort of tribute, standing ovation or a parade. Irsay might even unveil a monument (he should). He deserves all of that anyway.
It will be the biggest game of the season for the Colts and one of the most expected games of the entire season for the NFL.
The 2013 season promises lots of great games for the Colts and some pretty special moments too.

A Corpus-Based Approach to Gerundial and Infinitival Complementation in Spanish ESL Writing
Date: May 2011
Creator: Mbuye, Kanku Lisette
Description: This exploratory case study aims to develop a set of best practices for integrating online discussion forums into the foreign language curriculum, focusing specifically on a group of learners in an advanced French grammar course at a large, public U.S. university. During a period of two months, 26 participants completed a series of tasks designed to provide three different types of data: 1) exploration and analysis of interactional, linguistic, and social features of Web forum discourse; 2) participation in Web forums; and 3) feedback from students. Since the feedback received from two questionnaires was ultimately the most consistent and reliable type of data collected, this study focuses on students' participation patterns and their perceptions of Web forums as a communication space having the potential to provide opportunities for learning French. Although some students indicated that they would neither consider visiting a French-language Web forum nor actually visit one, in both cases, more than half of the participants who completed these questionnaires indicated that they would both consider visiting a French-language Web forum and might actually visit one. Since encouraging students to use French beyond the classroom and to engage in the lifelong use of French for personal enrichment (following the ...

Learner use of French second-person pronouns in synchronous electronic communication.
Date: December 2008
Creator: McCourt, Claire A.
Description: This study analyzes students' use of the French second-person pronouns tu (T) and vous (V) in small-group (2-3 students) inter-learner online chat sessions. The influence of internal linguistic factors (i.e., turn type and morphosyntactic environment) on learners' appropriate vs. inappropriate use of these pronouns is considered. The study also investigates the influence of Instructional Level on tu-vous use and the extent to which students from different instructional levels provide various types of peer assistance (e.g., lexical, morphosyntactic, and sociolinguistic/pragmatic) . Pronoun use was extremely unstable for learners of all levels, and a Kruskal-Wallis analysis revealed that Instructional Level did not significantly affect appropriate T/V use overall. Instructional Level and Syntax did, however, significantly affect interrogative T/V use, as shown through multivariate analyses. Peer-assisted performance was limited to lexical retrieval. Pedagogical recommendations are presented for teaching and learning second-person pronouns in French.

Mariama Bâ: un féminisme né à l'intersection de deux cultures.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Perret, Arnaud
Description: Many critics consider Mariama Bâ as a feminist writer, but the reader of her two novels might wonder what characterizes her work as such. Therefore, the aim of each chapter, in order of appearance, is to analyze first the genres, then the elements of African tradition and Western modernity, the characters of both works and the themes of the novels, with the intention of defining the author's feminism, which takes its source in dichotomies, paradoxes and contradictions. In order to expose the author's point of view on the condition of women, it appears important to situate the diegesis in its context. Also, the study is supported by references on the Senegalese culture, by genres, narrative and feminist theories and by critiques on the work itself.

A Case Study of Tu and Vous Use in the French Dubbing and Subtitling in an American Film
Date: May 2011
Creator: Reed, Sarah
Description: Translation and subtitling has always been a complicated dimension of the motion picture industry for years. The problem of dealing with linguistic elements in films and conveying them to audiences of different languages across the globe encompasses many difficulties regarding forms and structures of other languages. One of the more highly researched topics in French linguistic studies has been the use of address pronouns and a range of aspects related to their use and interpretation. Many studies have been conducted over the last sixty years in order to determine and understand these variables. An analysis of several of these studies reveals the many complexities involved in second-person pronoun choice in the French language and the development of the idea of pronoun choice as an act of social identity. The focus of this study is to provide an analysis of the use of formal and informal address pronoun use in the French subtitling and dubbing of an American film, Maid in Manhattan, in order to add, on a broader level, a way to differentially examine perceived norms in a variety of contexts within this medium.

Daughters of the King and Founders of a Nation: Les Filles du Roi in New France
Date: May 2010
Creator: Runyan, Aimie Kathleen
Description: The late seventeenth century was a crucial era in establishing territorial claims on the North American continent. In order to strengthen France's hold on the Quebec colony, Louis XIV sent 770 women across the Atlantic at royal expense in order to populate New France. Since that time, these women known as the filles du roi, have often been reduced to a footnote in history books, or else mistakenly slandered as women of questionable morals. This work seeks to clearly identify the filles du roi through a study of their socioeconomic status, educational background, and various demographic factors, and compare the living conditions they had in France with those that awaited them in Canada. The aim of this undertaking is to better understand these pioneer women and their reasons for leaving France, as well as to identify the lasting contributions they made to French-Canadian culture and society.

Denis Diderot Lettres à Sophie Volland, 1759
Date: August 1976
Creator: Simmons, Marina C.
Description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the letters of Diderot to Sophie Volland for the year 1759 as they are a source of important autobiographical, social, and psychological elements that shed light on Diderot's private and public life. In fact a turning point in the sentimental relationship between Diderot and Sophie Volland, the death of his father, the difficulties experienced in publishing the Encyclop6'die and consequently the coolness in his friendship with D'Alembert make 1759 a crucial year in Diderot's life. The conclusion reached is that the stylistically beautiful and modern letters to Sophie Volland of this year are self-revelatory for they show that the events of 1759 made a great psychological impact upon Diderot and started a process of maturity in his character. These letters can undoubtedly be considered a major part of Diderot's work and they can certainly contribute to a deeper understanding of this genius.

Perceiving Matter in Notes on Space, Undated (Log 3) by André du Bouchet, Fontfroide-le-Haut, Fata Morgana, 2000
Date: December 2003
Creator: Simmons, Sandra
Description: This study of the graphic field in notes on space, undated (log 3) focuses on how the white emptiness of a page plays a structural role in the articulation of dissociated fragments of notes. According to the criteria of three theorists (Genette, Lapacherie, Baetens), the distinction between non-linear and tabular proves to be non-exclusive in this particular work. Ostensibly, this non-figurative writing instigates interactive contemplation and lends itself to multiple entries, like an object one contemplates from every possible visual perspective without ever constructing a representation or image. The poetic form that du Bouchet explores renders perceptible the latent materiality of all text.

Les Femmes Dans les Romans Principaux de Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz: Role et Presentation

Description: The thesis states that women characters in the works of Ramuz have much more depth, life and variety than first meets the eye. In order to demonstrate this, it was decided to show women characters, main, secondary and in groups, and to look at their presentation in the novels recognized generally as the most important.

From "y as plus personne qui parle" to "plus personne ne dit rien": The variable use of the negative particle ne in synchronous French chat.
Date: May 2007
Creator: van Compernolle, Rémi A.
Description: This study analyzes negative particle variation (i.e., the variable presence or absence of the negative particle ne) in synchronous French chat discourse within a labovian-inspired framework. Selected morphosyntactic, lexical, and phonological constraints are considered. Multivariate analyses performed by GoldVarb 2001 revealed that subject type (i.e., NP, [- overt] subject environment, pronoun) and the phonological environment preceding the position of neregardless of its presence or absenceare determining factors in the variation. In addition, discursive-pragmatic effect was explored in a sub-sample of data. The results indicate that ne is seldom present in verbal negation during explanatory discourse style, yet it is very likely to be retained in ludic, emphatic, and proverbial styles.

Eye on the Oscars: The Producer
One of the biggest challenges David Heyman faced when producing "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was creating a magical place to matriculate little witches and wizards.
No, not Hogwarts but an actual school on the set in England for the hundreds of children cast in the film.
"The number of teachers we had to employ varied," says Heyman. "When we had 400 kids on set, there were 40 teachers."
In addition to the faculty, Heyman also oversaw a crew of 1,500 in an imaginary world ultimately made even more enchanting by 700 visual effects.
"We had to source and define the world that is Hogwarts and build it from scratch," he says.
Well, not all of it. Heyman was able to take advantage of several historic locations on the other side of the pond, such as Alnwick Castle, and Gloster and Durham cathedrals.
"Those are found places that we didn't have to re-create," he explains. "We just incorporated the sites into our world."
Another trick from Heyman and director Chris Columbus was conjuring up some inventive shooting schedules.
"We only have them (the children) for 9½ hours a day," explains Heyman. "Three hours are given to education and an hour for lunch leaves only 5½ hours for filming."
In the case of Harry Potter, that was just the right combination.
"Dan (Radcliffe, who plays the title character), has had the best exams of his life," Heyman says. "So we feel like what we are doing on set is working."

Over the years, the traditional American sports in Hudson County have had to share the local stage lesser known -- at least to the locals -- sports.
While you can find kids playing baseball, football and basketball, soccer has become hugely popular.
You'll now even find rugby and cricket leagues competing on dusty fields from Bayonne to Secaucus.
Now Hudson County will be making some room for polo after officials announced that the prestigious Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic will be played at Liberty State Park in Jersey City in June.
The game is expected to bring the sport's top stars to the state park that offers the Statue of Liberty and new York skyline as a jawdropping backdrop.
The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic had been held at Governors Island in New York since 2008, but a construction project scuttled those plans this year. The search for an alternate location led the event's organizers across the Hudson River to New Jersey.
The fifth annual event, expected to draw celebrity participants and guests, is scheduled for June 2 in the "green ring'' at Liberty State Park. More than 5,000 spectators will get to watch Nacho Figueras and his Black Watch team compete against some of the world's best polo players.
"It's part of our effort to make this park more of a destination for New Jersey residents and persons from other states to come here and visit Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, New Jersey's 9/11 Memorial, the Liberty Science Center, or just take in the incredible views of New York's skyline and enjoy our park,'' said Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin said in a statement.
Tickets for the event are $25 and must be purchased in advance. Tickets include ferry transportation to and from Manhattan to Liberty State Park, or shuttle service from the Liberty State Park Station on NJ Transit's Hudson-Bergen Light Rail line. All guests must arrive via ferry or Light Rail as no parking will be provided onsite for the event.
The event will benefit a charity to be announced in the coming weeks by Veuve Clicquot, and will include a donation to the nonprofit Friends of Liberty State Park. Liberty State Park will remain open during this event. All areas outside of the polo grounds will be available to the public.
In the words of Ed Norton and Ralph Kramden, we are looking forward to seeing a "string of po-lop-pon-ees."

A Letter to the Gnome Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| Having Gnome team members promoting the agenda of its main opponent, however,
| is not only counter-productive but also reflects negatively on the project
| and its credibility. GNOME is supporting its main opponent by explicitly
| participating in the official Ecma / ISO process; by participating informally
| at the conferences; and, presumably, by participating inside of actual
| development. It seems that Gnome is becoming Microsoftâs catspaw to damage
| and slow down open source and open standards.
| [...]
| For example, one high profile team member can cause a lot of trouble for
| Gnome, especially when promoting proprietary technologies in opposition to
| open source and open standards. Quotes like, âTime to play with C#, ASP.NET
| and some nifty toys (you can make almost Windows feel like Linux now)â seem
| to be promoting themes advanced by bloggers at Gnomeâs (and open standardsâ)
| main antagonist, Microsoft.
More on the 'traitor'. It's a good thing that some people cover that serious
issue. Time for the FSF to give some people a good boot? Who do they work for?

Is .NET on GNU/Linux a Trojan Horse?
,----[ Quote ]
| There were two basic propositions in my mind on how could they hurt Free
| Software.
| * 1. Copyright threat? -- If Mono stuff is under a Free Software
| license, once Microsoft or Novell change the licensing terms
| over the Free .NET implementation we can just fork away. This
| is where my trust into Free Software licenses comes into play.
| * 2. Software patents threat? -- Nothing new, there is patent
| saber rattling already and no software is safe from patents anyway.
C'mon, Miguel... tell us this is not true!
,----[ Quote ]
| Come on, Miguel! Please tell us this is not what you said. This must be a

| have cracked the hosting server. Or your email account, and they posted under
| your name. Or you didn't mean it. You had a terrible headache that Wednesday
| night. You thought it's April Fool's Day, and it was a good joke. You just

| Whatever. Just tell us that it is not what you really think about OOXML.
Miguel, Mono and Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| is Mono's role in the deal that of a hook to make customers write
| .NET applications because they can be run on Linux - only to find
| later on that they are armless or legless because of a change in
| the .NETspecifications, a change which Microsoft decides not to
| make public?
| [...]
| And here we have an individual who decides to replicate one of
| the proprietary company's development environments - for reasons
| best known to him alone - and keeps telling people that the reason
| he's doing it is so that he can pull people over from the
| proprietary company's side to his side!!!
Miguel de Icaza: "The Microsoft / Novell partnership should have included a
technical Mono/.NET collaboration"
,----[ Quote ]
| Also, another thing that rubbed people the wrong way was the promise
| to the community. And part of the problem with the current promise
| is that it was an important consideration as part of the deal but
| they did not get the right wording in place on time. Folks on both
| companies are trying to improve this to actually mean something
| meaningful.
Miguel de Icaza: The EU Prosecutors are Wrong.
,----[ Quote ]
| If Microsoft had produced 760 pages (the size of ODF) as the
| documentation for the ".doc", ".xls" and ".ppt" that lacked for
| example the formula specification, wouldn't people justly demand
| that the specification was incomplete and was useless?
| I would have to agree at that point with the EU that not enough
| information was available to interoperate with Microsoft Office.
| If anything, if I was trying to interoperate with Microsoft
| products, I would request more, not less.

Kayak anglers are limited in where they can go, so they're forced to really refine their fishing techniques. As a general rule, they make the rest of us anglers look like a Three-Stooges routine in comparison.
If the fish aren't biting in one spot, I can start that outboard motor behind me and find someplace they are. Kayak anglers have to figure out a way to make those fish feed.
So the techniques that work for the paddle-craft crowd also pay dividends for those who think an oar is something to be pulled out for emergencies only.
That being the case, it ought to be a packed house Thursday evening when respected and successful kayak angler Casey Brunning holds a seminar at the Northshore Massey's (816 N. Highway 190, Covington).
Brunning fishes several local and even some national kayak tournaments, and he finished in the top three of seven of them last year.
In Thursday's seminar, Brunning will be discussing how to have success when the weather is chilly, including what to wear, what to bring along, where to target fish and how to study water temperatures, levels and clarities.
The seminar is free, and Massey's will be supplying light food and beverages. It begins at 6:30.

for what caliber? do you need progressive speeds? are you a competition shooter? typical round count needs?
$300 would buy a complete Lee Classic turret setup, dies, a caliper, tumbler, a low end digital scale AND maybe even some components.
Does that make IT the 'best' - I dunno, it works for me - lol
January 22, 2010, 12:19 PM
You may want to check out the Lee Loadmaster if you plan to do much pistol loading. I have Hd videos of this press in action on www.ultimatereloader.com if you are interested.
January 23, 2010, 12:16 AM
I second the Loadmonster if you are mechanically inclined. It may take some treaking, but it runs like a top once you get it going. Changeovers are cheap and easy with extra turrets too. It really depends on what calibers, how many rounds you need to load, how much time you are going to dedicate to the humber of rounds.
Another thing is what level of experience you already have reloading. It is not the best idea for most folks to jump in the deep end without knowing how to swim.

Facebook Interview QuestionSoftware Engineer / Developers
- 0of 0 votes
Design a system for showing quotes on the web?
For example, when the user is looking at page A, part of which is reproduced in page B, the system could highlight part of page A present the user with a link to page B.
What constitutes a quote?
How do you find quotes?
How do you make it scale to the web?
How do you handle updates?
How would you arrange the servers?
What data structures would you use?
Country: United States
Interview Type: In-Person
I would chunk each page in blocks of text (I can leverage the DOM of the page... the way you optimize this step deeply affect the final result). Then I would apply an hash function on each chunk and represent the page A as the set of that hash numbers A = [h_0, ... h_n].
Now, I can build a inverted index of the hashes so that h_i => {A,B} meaning that the h_i is present both in A and in B. At this point whenever I render the page A I will generate a link to the page B associated to the chunk of text having h_i as hash number.
I will keep updated the index by keep crowling the Web and updating internal representation of the pages and the index like a SE does.
What constitutes a quote? - A fragment of text in a page constitutes a quote. For now we will only consider a text dump rather than gathering any semantic meaning to it.
How do you find quotes?
If more than one page has common occurrences of fragments of text, then it constitutes a quote. As for which page is going to be quoted can be determined by some page rank or the timestamp of the page that was created.
How do you make it scale to the web?
We crawl the web across to gather documents. These documents would then have to be compared amongst each other. The comparison can be limited to similar domains of the pages.
How do you handle updates?
The way the information would be laid out is, typically there would/could be a many(children) to one (parent) relationship of pages. Lets call this a group.
When a new page comes in, there are three possibilities:
1. It is a page which will be added to an already existing grouping.
2. It is a page for which a grouping doesn't exist yet. And this will be the new parent referring to itself.
3. It is a page that will replace the parent of a group.
Even within a domain there would be many such groupings. To assign some priority, we can have the number of children quoting the parent treated as a rank. So the node with the highest rank gets checked against first.
If there is no match against any of the highest rank nodes, then that means the children will not match as well. So we create a new parent with rank 1 and the page points to itself.
#1It matches one of the high rank document and gets added to the other nodes.
Along side checking against the highest rank i.e. checkIfQuoteFrom(parent,new_page) , we should also do a checkIfQuoteFrom(new_page,parent). If it returns true for the second call, then either a) the pages are the same. b) new_page is the parent of the current parent ( determined by timestamp amongst other metrics).
If it is a) then we can discard it. If it is b) then we replace the parent with new_page and have the parent join the other set of nodes.
How would you arrange the servers?
There would be a set of servers that would be responsible for crawling the web.
Another set of servers who would be doing a comparison of pages to get the quotes.
As soon as the the crawlers would return back with the set of results, it would be written to some cache and not the database. After massaging the data received is when they will be stored in the db with their state ( discussed above).
Even to fetch the results, we would cache the high frequency requests to ensure minimum db reads.
What data structures would you use?
A decreasing order of nodes ( based on rank ) for the pages to scan. Each of these nodes would be referred to by children. An object representing a domain pointing to these nodes.
A tree like ds that represents the reverse domain and each node there in would store the location to access the aforementioned list.

Petition challenging Alagiri election rejected
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 23rd November 2013 08:51 AM
Last Updated: 23rd November 2013 08:53 AM
A petition challenging the election of MK Alagiri of the DMK from the Madurai Parliamentary constituency, was dismissed by the Madras High Court on Friday.
"Election cannot be set aside on presumptions and surmises or conjectures. Clear and cogent proof in support of the allegations is essential. In this case, the evidence let in by the petitioner runs well short of establishing the charges levelled against the returned candidate, namely, MK Alagiri,'' Justice V Dhanapalan said.
The election petition was initially filed by CPM leader P Mohan, who lost to Alagiri. Following his death A Lazar, another party functionary, pursued the case. Based on news paper reports, they levelled various allegations of corrupt practices allegedly resorted to by Alagiri. They also contended that he and his party-men had violated the model code of conduct and misused the official machinery during the election held in May, 2009.

It's a commuting route for Cleveland neighborhoods and suburbs to the west and south, especially for drivers who want to escape congestion on the downtown interstates.
The bridge, which lifts so boats can pass on the Cuyahoga River, serves about 6,000 vehicles a day, many of them trucks from companies that handle stone, fuel, glass and other materials.
"It's wonderful news for the businesses in the Flats,'' said Jim Cox of the Flats Industry Association. "There are one or two companies that have facilities on both sides of the bridge, so it's been a terrible burden as far as transportation for them.''
Drivers and businessmen alike hope the problem-plagued bridge, which reopened Monday, remains open for a long time.
"Given its history of being completely rehabbed and then failing and then the tremendous amount of time to rehab it again, we can only hope the job has been done correctly,'' Cox said.
City officials believed the city-owned bridge, which closed in October 2011, would open by the end of 2012, after $1.4 million in repairs. However, the contractor doing repairs discovered more problems after opening mechanical and electrical components of the iconic bridge. An additional $700,000 in work was needed.
When the 72-year-old bridge closed in 2011, it was only five years after crews finished a $26.8 million reconstruction. But the bridge was plagued with problems, closing 33 times for issues other than maintenance.
The bridge reopening is timely because another span in the Flats is about to close.
The Columbus Road Bridge is scheduled to shut in late May until June 2014, for reconstruction. The lift bridge bears 9,300 vehicles a day, including 460 trucks, between Ohio City and the Flats.

Toby Keith
Big Dog Daddy | [2.5 stars]
Toby Keith makes no apologies for being Toby Keith. "You may not like where I'm goin'/But you sure know where I stand/Hate me if you want to/Love me if you can," he sings on the defiant ballad "Love Me If You Can." And while his new album is unlikely to get any love from folks like Natalie Maines—the Dixie Chick with whom Keith famously feuded over her anti-Bush comments—it should keep loyal fans satisfied. Best is "High Maintenance Woman," the foot-stomping first single, which rides a clever lyrical conceit: "A high maintenance woman/Don't want no maintenance man." Elsewhere, Keith unleashes a couple of typical honky-tonkers ("Get My Drink On"), while on the starry-eyed "I Know She Hung the Moon," the big dog turns into a puppy dog.

Enrique Iglesias
Insomniac | [2.5 stars]
Memo to Enrique Iglesias: Don't try to be R. Kelly. On "Push"—the one truly misguided moment on his new CD—Iglesias attempts to earn his pimp card with a little help from rapper Lil Wayne, but the result is a limp, laughable hip-hopper that would even give Anna Kournikova second thoughts. Thankfully, though, Iglesias fully embraces his pop heartthrobness on most of Insomniac. Which makes for guilty pleasures like "Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)," the frothy first single that playfully uses the sound of table-tennis balls. Though flirting with electro and reggaeton, Iglesias returns to familiar territory: "Somebody's Me," the best of the ballads, should win over fans of "Hero," while "Tired of Being Sorry" is unapologetically lightweight Latin pop.

IN WESTERN civilization we are obsessed with finding causes. We believe in general that if a cause or causes of any problem can be defined, correction is usually easier than if we simply act empirically. Furthermore, assigning a cause makes us feel both intellectually satisfied and in control. Our culture is not, however, the only one with explanations for mysterious events, such as mental illness. Peoples in cultures without a Charcot-Freud-Jung tradition or even a written language have their own interpretations of events when one of their indigenes acts abnormally. It might be rewarding to compare their explanations with our own.
First I must point out, however, that I use words implying or describing atypical, abnormal, deviant, or disturbed behavior rather than terms we associate with mental illness because behavior is our only way to define states of mental health and illness. This behavior

CLEVELAND, Ohio – "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," the 2014 reboot spearheaded by producer Michael Bay, is finally upon us. And, shocker, it's not the monstrosity everyone feared.
Does that mean it's good? Well, no. However, there are a few admirable things about film that will make you smile, while other aspects keep "TMNT 2014" from being the fun mess it should have been.
There are already plans for sequels (yes, plural). So get ready. Here's a little advice on what does and doesn't work that Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman should heed:
Works: Megan Fox as April O'Neil
Fox was always a good choice to play April O'Neil for a few reasons: She looks closer to the Turtles' age (they are teenagers, remember) so the bond between them appears more natural. Also, Fox has a bit of an edge to her that the filmmakers don't take full advantage of, but it's clearly there. Then there's Fox's attitude towards Bay. The first "Transformers" film proved that Fox knows how to play the bewildered-woman stereotype that Bay uses in virtually any film he's associated with. Fox is then willing to bash Bay in public, which is an added bonus.
Doesn't work: April O'Neil's backstory
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is too long, clocking in at 101 minutes. Liebesman and the writers spent too much time on O'Neil's journalism investigation of the Foot's criminal activity (the 1990 film does a much better job of this) and re-inventing O'Neil's origin story with the Turtles. It turns out that O'Neil is the daughter of the scientist that helped create the mutants. So the turtles were basically her pets. Cute, but who cares?
Works: CGI Turtles
Those of us who grew up during the 1990s will always have a special place in our hearts for the elaborate creatures Jim Henson created for the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" trilogy that originated in 1990. However, the computer-generated characters in the 2014 film bring new dimensions to the characters and, believe it or not, make them seem a little more lifelike. It also allows for better action sequences, including the fantastic snow chase scene that will give your eyes a workout.
Works: CGI Splinter and CGI Shredder
CGI Splinter is very reminiscent of Yoda from "Star Wars" (that's a good thing), while CGI Shredder has more of a Samurai vibe that allows him to match the Turtles blow-for-eye-popping-blow during the action sequences. Both are upgrades over their 1990s counterparts, where Splinter looked like he could fall apart at any moment and Shredder looked like a human can opener.
Doesn't work: Most of the human actors
The teenage humor of the Turtles has to be matched by the actors surrounding them in order for a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to truly work. That's not the case here as most of the actors either lack screen time or give generic performances (I'm talking to you William Fichtner).
Works: The actors behind the Turtles
When the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic book debuted in the 1980s, the Turtles were darker and a little less attached to their respective personalities. However, ever since the popular cartoon version arrived, there's been no shying away from the stereotypes of each member. Michelangelo is the young goofball, Raphael is the rebel, Donatello is the nerd and Leonardo is the leader. Almost amazingly, the actors behind the 2014 versions of the Turtles are able to breathe life into those characters, making the massive amount of CGI more tolerable.
Doesn't work: The corporate storyline
Here's what this movie didn't need: A plot about a corporate billionaire (Fichtner) aligning himself with the Foot/Shredder to release a poison upon a city just so he can invent a cure and make himself more money. In fact, I'm good if no movie ever has that plot again.
Doesn't work: The music
Vanilla Ice, the man behind the "Go Ninja" rap from 1991's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze," recently dissed Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J's "Shell Shocked" theme for the new film. For once, I'm with Vanilla Ice. "Go Ninja" may have been corny, but it certainly suited "TMNT II's" semi-campy vibe. "Shell Shocked" sounds like the song that's playing way too loud in a club when you're asking a woman for her phone number.
Judge for yourself:
Will you be seeing the new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film? Tell us why or why not in the comments section.
