word from your Editor:
Hello! We're aware that it's been quite a long time since the last URPG Times was posted, but, unfortunately, Alaska and Gmandiddy were both unable to post the Times. Since they haven't got enough time on their hands, they've hired a new Editor -- although I believe they were looking for two (I have no idea who the other one is yet). That new Editor is me, Buoy! I'm sure it'll be a fun experience, editing the Times. This is my first try, though, so go easy on me.
I hope you all enjoy this issue of the URPG Times!
ews and Announcements:
I couldn't find any [s]slave[/s] person to do this for me, so I did it myself.
TPW (but mainly Dojos).
We've been at The Pokémon World for almost a month now, and I can tell that URPG has been a massive success on the truly accommodating forum. We're proud to have the TPW community with us here in URPG, and we wish you all the success for the future in URPG -- try hard and you will succeed! Our Dojo system is gradually gaining momentum now, too. With those Dojo spots filling up as more newbies begin to collect more Pokémon, it'll only be a matter of time before all spots are gone. If
interested in owning a Dojo, then come on over to
thread! If you want to participate but are unsure if you're allowed to, feel free to ask We Taste Pies or Monbrey. They can handle all your inquiries about the Dojos, as well as telling you if you can participate or not.
New referees!
Since our last issue, four people have became referees: Zolar, Brainiac and Morru Magnum! Who's the fourth, you ask? Why, that would be me! All of these wonderful people (excluding me) deserve a good pat on the back and a congratulations. Pester them to ref for you if you're battling -- it'll help both them and you. Well done to these four!
Vacant Gym spots!
Pewter City [Rock-type].
Ecruteak City [Ghost-type].
Sootopolis City [Water-type].
Striaton City [Fire-, Water- and Grass-type].
Nimbasa City [Electric-type].
Opelucid City [Dragon-type].
All of the above gyms are open! If you think you've got what it takes to be a Gym Leader and you have enough Pokémon for it, feel free to apply.
rading Section:
Since the last issue, we've had a few things put up for trade in the Trading Machine. If you want any of the Pokémon below, feel free to offer to the corresponding users.
Black Reaper:
Each week, besides the submissions from our employees for the Comics section of the URPG Times, we also welcome submissions from the community! We pay 1,500 Pokédollars for each submission usually. The amount paid might be adjusted accordingly based on your comic and permanent employees will be paid slightly higher. You don't have to be a professional as well; the only criteria is for it to be funny! PM comic submissions to Alaskapigeon, Buoy or Gmandiddy.
... looks like we have no submissions this time! Oh well! Make sure to send in some comics for the next issue!

Wow, I give you guys a handicap and only two of you fully capitalize on it? I guess my failsafe question must have gotten you. Still a big congratulations to my first ever 100s. You guys have earned a spot in my [s]hitlist[/s] Hall of Fame.
Battle Scenario: Use Psycho Shift (5 points)
Some of you put Toxic. That would work but you're Imprisoned. Psycho Shift would put the burn on Dusknoir and KO at the end of the turn.
Ref This: Gliscor @ 76.55%; Metagross @ 83.51% (4 points)
Why does everyone (even the non-refs) get this right? Seriously? Guess some of you should take the ref test. Based on how everyone got this right, you should do ok.
Flavour: Where hearts touch each other. (4 points)
Anything close to hearts communicating with each other was fine for me. It had to be in English though.
Picture Time: Nacrene City (3 points)
I need to find harder pictures -_-
Video Games: Surskit, Masquerain, Meditite, Medicham, Roselia, Zangoose, Lunatone (1/2 point each; 4 points if you got them all)
This was pretty easy. Just search around for it. I never played Emerald though so I didn't know before the quiz.
Video Games 2: Pokemon Revolution (3 points)
Had to throw in a couple gimmes.
Flavour 2: Just a souvenier shop. Nothing suspicious about it. No need to be alarmed (3 points)
Just because of that sign, I'm suddenly interested in checking it out.
Pokemon World: Goldenrod City (3 points)
Wow. I thought a lot of you would have trouble with this one. You guys sure know your trivia
Anime: Steel, Psychic, and Ghost (3 points)
Come on, Ash! Catch one of these already!
Game Mechanics: Trick Question. There is no way to reflect an OHKO move. (3 points)
My failsafe question. I was hoping nobody would get this right, but only a few of you were observant enough. I tip my hat to whoever got this right.
Anime 2: The Ancient puzzle of Pokemopolis. Alakazam, Gengar, and Jigglypuff (4 points)
A battle of epic proportions I should say.
Stories: Imagine that by Magikchicken (2 points)
Pokemon: Machoke (3 points)
Kung-foo would have been kinda cheesy for this Pokemon. Glad they changed it.
Video Games 3: Shigeki Morimoto (3 points)
This Game Freak person is in Castelia. Find him and battle him if you want.
Game Mechanics 2: Air Cutter (3 points)
The only damaging flying move that can't target non-adjacent opponents. Some of you put the non-damaging ones. I took it anyway.

Well, you guys have actually beaten my quiz. I'll be back, though, to see that this doesn't happen again...
tory of the Week:
This issue's Story of the Week goes to Akinai! This lovable woman aimed for an Abra in her story, Reminders. This is a sort of backstory to a character that Akinai uses fairly often in her stories and her role-playing efforts in the National Park. The character is also named Akinai (she certainly loves that name) -- a mysterious woman who avoids talking about her past for some reason. The story explains why. For those who know Akinai and her famous character, Akinai, this is likely to prove interesting to them -- everyone loves some character development, right? I KNOW I DO. Go read the story. Right now. I didn't spend about two minutes of my life writing this so that no-one pays attention.
p.s. Akinai gets 1,000 moneys or something. She'll also probably be all affronted, too. "BUOYSEL, HOW DARE YOU?!" she shall cry. "YOU MADE A MOCKERY OF MY MASTERPIECE BY POSTING A COMMENTARY ABOUT IT FOR THE URPG TIMES." And then she'll drop a horde of Spiritomb or Aggron on me, although how she can lift all those Pokémon is anyone's guess.
oleplayer of the Week:
This week's Role-Player of the Week is Airik! He's currently on a run in the Gardens with Nitro, aiming to catch more Grass-types for his collection. For a first-timer into the Park, he's doing pretty well. He's already managed to capture a Cacnea and a Ferroseed. Very nice work, so collect your bounty. You earned it.
Buoy edit: SAID BOUNTY IS 1,000 POKÉDOLLARS.
okémon of the Week:
Dog of Hellsing
Well, SLC was busy and I decided I might as well contribute something to this mass of madness , so here we go! I ended up rolling Blitzle, but to be nice were going to bump it up to its evolved form, Zebstrika. If you have one of these (I dont think many of you do, tee-hee), then you get to claim $1,000.
Zebstrika is a pure Electric-type Pokemon, obviously based off the zebras of real life. It has some pretty decent stats, as can be seen below:
Attack: 299
Defense: 225
Special Attack: 259
Special Defense: 225
Speed: 331
Obviously, Zebstrikas strength lies in its Speed and Attack stats. It has a nice bit of HP, but its Defense and Special Defense are a bit on the low side and dont really back the HP. This is the kind of Pokemon youd want to Baton Pass some stats to in order to get the most out of it; a Quiver Dance from Venomoth, for example, or a Bulk Up from Mienshao. Zebstrika is capable of raising its Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense, but its not quite bulky enough to try stating up on its own before attacking.
Besides Charge, Flame Charge, and Agility, there is another way for Zebstrika to raise its offensive stats, but only under the right circumstances. Zebstrika is a neat little Pokemon when considering all its Abilities are ones that somehow directly raise its stats. It has two normal Abilities as well as a Dream World Ability:
When possible, single-target Electric moves are drawn to this Pokemon. Electric attacks do no damage and the Pokemons Special Attack is increased by one level.
Motor Drive:
When targeted by an Electric move, including non-damaging ones, this Pokemon is unaffected by the move and its Speed is increased by one level.
Sap Sipper (Dream World):
When targeted by a Grass move, including non-damaging ones, this Pokemon is unaffected by the move and its Attack is increased by one level.
Depending on the circumstances, Lightningrod or Sap Sipper would both be good Abilities to use on Zebstrika, especially when going against an Electric or Grass Gym, respectively. In an FFA, Lightningrod would be the ideal Ability to use; many Pokemon get moves such as Thunderbolt, and if you team with Water or Flying type Pokemon, you can help protect your teammates from them while getting a boost to your Special Attack.
Also, in terms of using Sap Sipper in Grass Gyms, Zebstrika is a pretty solid choice. Most Grass Gyms run Sun weather for Chlorophyll, and Zebstrika can take advantage of this. While your foe tries to Sleep Powder or Leech Seed you, youll get an Attack boost from Sap Sipper, which can then boost the power of Flame Charge. The Speed Boost from Flame Charge will make you faster than most Grass Pokemon using Chlorophyll, and since Zebstrikas strength lies in Attack, you can use other moves to help take out your weakened foes. Lightninrod or Motor Drive in Electric Gyms isnt as useful, as Pokemon like Electivire can simply use Earthquake and avoid boosting Zebstrikas stats while dealing a painful blow.
Zebstrika is a fairly simple Pokemon to obtain. Below are listed the various methods of getting a bad-tempered electric zebra of your very own!
Purchase for $7,000
National Park:
Uncommon Rank = 9,000 characters
Medium Rank = 10,000 20,000 characters
Evolve a Blitzle:
7 battles
National Park:
Borderline Rank = 15,000 characters
Complex Rank = 30,000-40,000 characters
Zebstrika doesnt get much in the way of variety for the Types of moves it learns, which is one of its most crippling flaws. However, what it does get, it can make pretty good use of if handled properly. Below is a list of the moves Zebstrika gets naturally:
Level-up Moves:
Quick Attack, Tail Whip, Charge, Shock Wave, Thunder Wave, Flame Charge, Pursuit, Spark, Stomp, Discharge, Agility, Wild Charge, Thrash
As you can see, it gets a few moves it can play around with. Pursuit is useful if you think your foe is going to switch, and Flame Charge lets you boost Zebstrikas already good speed. Quick Attack is a decent priority move, while Stomp can make the foe Flinch occasionally. However, Zebstrika does have a fairly limited number of useful level-up moves. This can be alleviated somewhat by EMs, but it still doesnt get too awfully much of a selection. Following are some moves that one might consider if beefing up a Zebstrika:
Double Kick, Me First, Screech
Toxic, Hidden Power, Light Screen, Protect, Rain Dance, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Return, Façade, Rest, Attract, Overheat, Volt Switch, Substitute
While it can certainly be a useful Pokemon in the right situation, Zebstrika is held back by its limited movepool and somewhat low defensive stats. It could be fun in an FFA or casual battle, but for serious battles it would probably be best to go with popular Electric Pokemon such as Jolteon or Electivire.
FA Report:
Fossil Fusion
Hello, govner. It's Fossil Fusion speaking! There were not many Free For Alls this week. However, I did catch my eye on a Free For All in a certain refbottingmasters Reffing Log.
Yes! On Monday the 14th June, a FFA took place, reffed by WebMaster. (Why am not surprised in this? Hes like the Reffing King ever since Ataro stopped reffing.) Anyway, lets take a look at the Free For All he conducted.
The rules used for this FFA were the normal stuff such as No Intimidate/Haze/Encore. The Special Rule this week was the "Mothers Day" Rule. I must admit, I never knew it was Mothers Day. I suppose thats because I am British. The ruler among the members 8-). Our Mother's Day is in March. This means every Pokemon had the ability Moody. It sounds pretty reasonable: most mothers tend to nag, or get stressed
Personally, I think rolling for Moody every turn would be pretty cool; it would save turns extra statting up, thus speeding up the process of the Free For All. Not bad. Shame I missed it AGAIN! In total, the FFA had 9 contestants. Thats not too terrible; Ive seen a lot of bigger FFAs before, though.
WebMaster earned himself a whopping $4,500 for reffing this Moody Monstrosity. Not bad, eh, Webbie? Here are the top three:
3rd Place: Captain Dude & Raichi, earning $3000!
2nd Place: TheEvilDookie & Nidoking, earning $3500!
1st Place: Dog of Hellsing & Beheeyem, earning $4000!
Congratulations, Jess. You seem to be in like every top 3 everytime I report. Dat Jess all I can say is: YAY BEHEEYEM! <3
arget of the Week:
Fossil Fusion
Target Week: time a random active trainer is selected and the first 3 people to beat them earn a special prize! URPGers have to beat them before the time runs out (the time runs out once the next issue is up, usually). If somebody loses to the Target Week trainer, they cannot rechallenge.
For the third issue of Target Week, there will be only one Target and this could involve beating them in Battles with Special Rules or B/W Contests, etc. Activity is key. If the Target disappears for unknown reasons, a new Target will be selected.
Payments for reffing/judging are as $2000 for refs and $3000 for judges per Battle/Contest. They get paid in the next URPG Times. All logs should be posted in the current URPG Times thread!
Defeat the Target:
Lose to the Target:

Target Loses:
Well done, everyone, for attempting Tag Force Target Week. Ebail did well with certain partners, but fell to a certain opponent: We Taste Pies
WTP borrowed SLC for the duration of the match, whilst Ebail snatched up WinterVines. It seemed Blaziken played a big part in the battle.
WTP: Togekiss and Gengar. | SLC: Blaziken and Sceptile.
Ebail: Crobat and Alakazam. | Wintervines: Jolteon and Gastrodon.
Tough teams on both sides. However, setting up is not always advisable in Double Battles, as shown from the above teams. Nevermind. Congratulations, WTP! Your prize is a lovely Egg. It will hatch within five days of this Times. [MENTION=36111]We Taste Pies...[/MENTION];
Here are the Reffing Wages!
Me: - $3000
[MENTION=43397]WinterVines[/MENTION]; - $3000
[MENTION=30090]Synthesis[/MENTION]; - $3000
This weeks Target it
Aim: Mubz96
Trovita Style.
This week, you must challenge the Target with 3 Pokemon. The best out of 3 wins! You still get full payment regardless if the 3rd Pokemon is needed.
3 on 3
BW Revolution
Helds Yes/No
Sleep | Freeze | OHKO | Evasion Clauses
No Weather
First 3 people to defeat Target Week this week with these rules will receive a very special prize. No joke; get on it! Whoever loses to Mubz can't challenge until the next issue of URPG Times.
Remember to log here, refs! Enjoy and get dat target!
losing comment(s):
Well, that's it for this issue! I hope you all enjoyed reading, and I encourage you all to participate in whatever activities the Times offer you. The rewards usually are great! Thank you for the hard work put in for this issue on such short notice, and I hope you all submit again next time.

Updated: April 14, 2013 2:09AM
There's no escape from finding fish on a Friday Lenten menu. As sure as you toast the upcoming weekend, it's bound to be there. For most of us, though, it's not a punishment. We wait all year for just a few special meat-free Fridays when fish fries and seafood recipes reign as king.
But a change to the mundane can be a real novelty during a season that is ruled by deep-fried cod, tuna sandwiches and baked trout with lemon — especially when it is something tasty and unique that can be prepared with ingredients already stowed away in your cupboard.
Using crushed potato chips as a coating is old news. It has been popping up at church benefits and potluck dinners for probably half of a century, coating everything from chicken breasts to tuna casseroles. But as a crust for cod or lake perch, it opens up a whole different realm of flavor for pretty standard fare.
Essentially five ingredients (fish, potato chips, honey mustard dressing, Parmesan and thyme), these tasty baked fillets of lake perch or cod stand true to all of the prudence of a Lenten meal without skimping on flavor. The salt from the chips and the flavor from the honey mustard work like perfect partners in crime, providing just the right amount of flavor for an already flavorful fish.
With only minutes of preparation and another 10 minutes in the oven, this dish is ideal for a Ash Wednesday or a Friday during Lent at home.
Variation isn't snubbed, either. Try replacing the honey mustard with hot sauce or ranch dressing for a tangier upgrade. The option of a smattering of Parmesan gives this dish a bolder flavor, but it could be eliminated.
Forego the fish fry one night and give this new rendition of "fish and chips" a spot on your Lenten table.
Chip-Crusted Fish Fillets
4 fresh lake perch or cod fillets Nonstick cooking spray 4 cups potato chips, crushed 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray
4 cups potato chips, crushed
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels. Line a baking dish with foil and spray foil with nonstick spray.
Brush each entire fillet with the honey mustard dressing, then dip into crushed chips mixture to coat both sides. Place fillets baking dish and bake for about 8 minutes (or more, depending on thickness) or until fish begins to flake.

There has been a gross misrepresentation of facts to persuade the people of the United States to start another war. Since 9/11, militarists in the United States have represented one Muslim country after another as major threats to US security. In the past, they supported attacks on Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya and Afghanistan, as well as endorsing Israel's attacks on Syria and Lebanon — nine Muslim countries – and also Gaza.
This time, the pro-war voices are exploiting a new International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report to assert categorically that Iran is building a nuclear weapon that allegedly poses a major threat to the US. But the truth is that the IAEA makes regular inspection visits to Iran's nuclear facilities and has TV cameras monitoring those sites around the clock. While there is reason to question some of Iran's actions, the situation and the alleged threat are not as clear-cut as some maintain.
Mohamed El Baradei, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and former IAEA director-general, said recently, "I don't believe Iran is a clear and present danger. All I see is the hype about the threat posed by Iran." And he is not alone: All 16 US. intelligence agencies concluded "with high confidence" in a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate that Iran had halted its nuclear-weapons program as of 2003. They reviewed the evidence again in 2009-10 and concluded that there was still no solid evidence that the program had been in any way revived.
We are seeing a replay of the "Iraq WMD threat," which used false information and sustained innuendo to lead the United States into a war that did not need to be fought. As Philip Zelikow, Executive Secretary of the 9/11 Commission said, "The 'real threat' from Iraq was not a threat to the United States. The unstated threat was the threat against Israel."
Since 2005, the United States military and intelligence community have engaged in sustained efforts to derail Iran's nuclear program. The Pentagon has studied the Iranian nuclear target and has concluded that it would be futile to attempt to eliminate that program– which is dispersed and mostly underground – through aerial bombing. Defense Secretary Panetta and other experts have stated that even a sustained air attack would only delay any weapons program for a year or two at most. This is a view shared by leading Israelis. Former Mossad head Meir Dagan said that an air force strike against Iran's nuclear installations would be "a stupid thing," a view endorsed in principle by two other past Mossad chiefs, Danny Yatom and Ephraim Halevy. Dagan added his opinion that "Any strike against is an illegal act
according to international law."
Dagan pointed out another reality: bombing Iran would guarantee that the Iranians would make the decision to go nuclear for self-defense and would certainly lead them to retaliate against Israel through Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, which has tens of thousands of Grad-type rockets and hundreds of Scuds and other long-range missiles. If American politicians are really concerned about the well-being of Israel, they would be doing everything in their power to stop a new war rather than start one.
The United States is already spending as much as the rest of the world combined on National Security and $100 billion per year on a Long War in Afghanistan. The anti-Iran lobby has been beating the drums for an attack on the Persians for years, led by people like Joe Lieberman and John McCain, who have never seen a war that they did not like.
Another Long War on top of Afghanistan is not in America's or Israel's interests, whatever some of Israel's apologists claim, and Iran has never posed any direct threat against Tel Aviv. The pundits who claim that Ahmadinejad said he would "wipe Israel off the map" have it wrong. Genuine Persian language specialists have pointed out that the original statement in Farsi actually said that Israel would collapse: "This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the arena of time" is the accurate rendition. Wishful thinking perhaps, but far from a threat. The fact is that Iran has not attacked any of its neighbors since the seventeenth century, when it went to war with the Ottoman Turks. Nor does Iran threaten the United States in any way.
President Barack Obama promised to open a dialogue to resolve problems with the Iranians, but that pledge has been an empty one. In reality, the US has spoken to Iranian government officials only once in the past three years and that encounter lasted less than forty five minutes. Since that time, offers to resolve differences through diplomacy have come several times from the Iranians and have been ignored by both official Washington and the mainstream media. Not talking means that war is the only way to obtain a resolution, in this case a very bad outcome for both sides. Washington still has time to make diplomacy and sanctions work, to persuade Russia and China to make joint cause in an attempt to convince all parties to back down from the developing crisis, but it requires serious intent and good faith negotiations to do so.
James Madison once wrote that "Of all the enemies of true liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded…War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. …No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
We Americans are currently winding down what President Obama once labeled a "dumb war;" so we should not undertake another dumb war against a country almost three times larger than Iraq that would set off a major regional war and create generations of terrorist jihadis. Such a war, contrary to what some argue, would not be good for the United States, Iran or even for Israel and it would make no one safer.

It's 10 p.m. in Rotterdam, Netherlands, when Emily Zimmerman, associate curator of the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), Skypes artist Melvin Moti from a cluttered workspace in the Rensselaer Science Center. A team of undergraduate students eagerly assemble the components of their project on a workbench and Zimmerman turns the laptop so Moti can assess their progress. It's mid-October and the group have only a few weeks left to iron out the bugs in The Vision Machine before it's scheduled to be installed on the EMPAC mezzanine on December 4.
Press Mentions
Six years after its debut at the opening festival for the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), one of EMPAC's first commissioned works, There is Still Time . . Brother, will be presented this fall at the Chronus Art Center in Shanghai, China.
EMPAC invites applications for the position of Curator for Contemporary Performance (Dance/Theater).
Going beyond a traditional university performing arts center in that EMPAC's events, performances, and projects are only a part of its program—with residencies, commissions, and productions taking up most of the resources—the artistic program set forth by the curatorial team is focused on contemporary art, performance, and their intersections.
TROY, NY — In a talk on October 15th entitled Speaking So to Speak, EMPAC director Johannes Goebel talks of art and language.
The 2015 Jaffe Student Production Competition is open to any undergraduate or graduate student at Rensselaer. It aims to create projects, which are developed to take advantage of EMPAC's infrastructure and of the expertise of EMPAC's team.
The winner(s) of the competition receive a summer production residency at EMPAC. The prize comprises the following components:

How the Oligarchs Took Over America
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
There is a war underway. I'm not talking about Washington's bloody misadventures in Afghanistan and Iraq, but a war within our own borders. It's a war fought on the airwaves, on television and radio and over the Internet, a war of words and images, of half-truth, innuendo, and raging lies. I'm talking about a political war, pitting liberals against conservatives, Democrats against Republicans. I'm talking about a spending war, fueled by stealthy front groups and deep-pocketed anonymous donors. It's a war that's poised to topple what's left of American democracy.
The right wing won the opening battle. In the 2010 midterm elections, shadowy outside organizations (who didn't have to disclose their donors until well after Election Day, if at all) backing Republican candidates doled out $190 million, outspending their adversaries by a more than two-to-one margin, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. American Action Network, operated by Republican consultant Fred Malek and former Republican Senator Norm Coleman, spent $26 million; the U.S. Chamber of Commerce plunked down $33 million; and Karl Rove's American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS shelled out a combined $38.6 million. Their investments in conservative candidates across the country paid off: the 62 House seats and six Senate seats claimed by Republicans were the most in the postwar era -- literally, a historic victory.
Knocked out of their complacency, no longer basking in the glow of Barack Obama's 2008 victory, wealthy Democrats are now plotting their response. Left-wing media mogul David Brock plans to create an outside group dubbed American Bridge in response to Rove's Crossroads outfits that will fight in the trenches of 2012 campaign spending. Many more outfits like Brock's will surely follow, as liberal and centrist Democrats brace for a promised $500 million onslaught by the Chamber of Commerce and others of its ilk.
Even the Obama administration, which shunned outside groups in 2008, has opened the door to a covert spending war. The Democrats will now fight fire with fire. "Is small money better? You bet. But we're in a fucking fight," Democratic strategist and fundraiser Harold Ickes told me recently. "And if you're in a fistfight, then you're in a fistfight, and you use all legal means available."
The endgame here, of course, is non-stop war. No longer will outside groups come and go every two years. Now, such groups will be running attack ads, sending out mailers, and deploying robo-calls year-round in what is going to become a perpetual campaign to sway voters and elect friendly lawmakers. "We're definitely building a foundation," was how American Crossroads president Steven Law put it.
This is what nowadays passes for the heart and soul of American democracy. It used to be that citizens in large numbers, mobilized by labor unions or political parties or a single uniting cause, determined the course of American politics. After World War II, a swelling middle class was the most powerful voting bloc, while, in those same decades, the working and middle classes enjoyed comparatively greater economic prosperity than their wealthy counterparts. Kiss all that goodbye. We're now a country run by rich people.
Not surprisingly, political power has a way of following wealth. What that means is: you can't understand how the rich seized control of American politics, and arguably American society, without understanding how a small group of Americans got so much money in the first place.
That story begins in the late 1970s and continues through the Obama years, a period in which American policy has been so skewed toward the rich that we're now living through the worst period of income inequality in modern history. Consider the statistics: 50 years ago, the wealthiest 1% of Americans accounted for one of every 10 dollars of the nation's income; today, it's nearly one in every four. Between 1979 and 2006, the average post-tax household income (including benefits) of the wealthiest 1% increased by 256%; the poorest households saw an increase of 11%; middle class homes, 21%, much of which was due to the arrival of two-job families.

Mexico City (CNN) -- Authorities in northeastern Mexico were investigating Tuesday after finding 14 bodies left inside an abandoned truck in a remote area.
The bodies were discovered in a pickup truck near a highway along the border of Tamaulipas and Veracruz states Monday night, Veracruz state prosecutors said in a statement. Investigators finished removing the bodies from the area Tuesday morning, prosecutors said.
Security forces increased patrols in the area after the discovery.
Turf battles between the rival cartels have become common in the region.
In September 2011, police in the Gulf coast of Veracruz state found two abandoned trucks containing 35 bodies on a busy roadway during rush-hour in the city of Boca del Rio.
Last month, Mexico's interior minister said the Zetas drug cartel and members of the allied Gulf and Sinaloa cartels were in a fierce feud in northern Mexico. He blamed the battle between rival cartels for the 49 decapitated and dismembered bodies left along a highway in the northern city of Cadereyta, Nuevo Leon.
More than 47,500 people have died in drug-related violence throughout the country since December 2006, when Calderon announced plans to deploy troops in efforts to combat cartels.

SHILLONG: Former Union home secretary Gopal Krishna Pillai on Monday said Ulfa commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah had been trained by the ISI and New Delhi was aware of the leader belonging to the outfit visiting Pakistan.
"Baruah has been trained by the ISI. He had visited Pakistan many times. Not only Paresh, many Ulfa leaders had gone to Pakistan. But that's past," Pillai said while referring to a recent statement by Ulfa chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa that the outfit was helped by various groups from across the border.
Earlier this month, Rajkhowa told the media that Pakistani agencies had lent support to Ulfa in the past. He, however, rued that the backing led to Ulfa's alienation from Assam's people, for whom it has been fighting for. Baruah, though, denied Ulfa's involvement with Pakistan.
"Rajkhowa's statement is completely baseless. Ulfa has never patronized any religious fundamentalists. I am throwing an open challenge to Rajkhowa and Indian intelligence agencies to prove that Ulfa has ever taken any weapons from Pakistani fundamentalists and the ISI," Baruah had said in a statement.
Besides Rajkhowa, the outfit's foreign secretary, Sashadhar Choudhury, had said ISI had imparted arms training to several Ulfa members, while some individuals from some Bangladeshi agencies had helped the militant group with logistics and support. "Pakistan's ISI had trained Ulfa activists. In 1991, I was part of the first batch of outfit's members to go to Pakistan for training in small arms, including main battle rifles," Choudhury had told TOI in an interview immediately after the outfit submitted its charter of demands to the Centre.
On the peace process with the NSCN (IM), Pillai said the talks were in the "final and sensitive stage" and hoped that a "deal should be inked by the end of next year". He added, "It (talks) has taken sometime. But you can see the statement made by NSCN (IM) chief Th Muivah that he is happy with the progress of the dialogue.
It was during the tenure of this former home secretary when most of the rebel groups from the northeast joined the mainstream.
Maintaining that violence in the northeast was on the wane, Pillai said the people in the region were fed up with violence and extortion. "There is no insurgency in the northeast now. It is just a cottage industry of extortion. The biggest challenge ahead of the government is to provide employment to the educated youths. If they get jobs, they will not like to be in jungles and face the bullets of security forces," he added.Article continues

11 Frighteningly Fatty Holiday Foods
Theres something about the holidays that makes us want to indulge a little OK, a lot. But a couple trips down the buffet line can pack on the pounds. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the average person gains about one pound each year between Thanksgiving and New Year's (some studies indicate up to five pounds). But what if you could have your cake and eat it too? Here, some festive foods to avoid and healthier substitutes that taste just as delicious.
By Esther Chapman
This potato pancake traditionally served as part of the Hanukkah celebration earns a dietary thumbs-down primarily because it's deep-fried. One meager, two-ounce serving weighs in at 200 calories and 11 grams of fat.
Healthy Substitute: "Instead of deep-frying, brown latkes in the pan with only a little bit of olive oil or canola oil, and then bake at 425°F for 10 to 15 minutes each side. You'll sharply reduce the calories and fat content," says Erin Palinski, RD, author of The Belly Fat Diet for Dummies.

Maybe it's not that unusual for a church to declare bankruptcy. But when the church also is seeking money from BP because of economic damages from last year's gulf oil spill, it gets our attention.
Faith Christian Family Church in Panama City Beach had been drawing other attention even before it stopped making payments on a $2.8 million loan from SunTrust last year, newsherald.com reports.
It's also involved in a battle with the Bay County Property Appraiser's Office, which refused to grant tax exemption status to the multimillion-dollar home the church uses as a parsonage.

A friend recently suggested that the way to get back at the Republican Party for its hypocrisy is to vote for a minor-party candidate. No, that won't work. The only way to "get back at" or harm the Republican Party is to elect Democrats.
A vote is not an expression of philosophy. If that's what you want to do, write a letter or send an e-mail. A vote is just an anonymous number that becomes one part of a larger anonymous number. Numbers don't say anything at all. They just count or measure.
As far as the Republican Party is concerned, a vote not cast at all or one cast for anybody but Sen. John Kerry is a vote for George Bush. Some people seem to have difficulty accepting the fact that this, for all practical purposes, is a two-party country. The choice is Kerry or Bush, and that's that. If you dislike them both, too bad; that's still your only choice. Come next January, Bush or Kerry will be sworn in for a four-year term. You will be stuck with four years' worth of consequences, whether you voted for a third party or stayed home.
Some say it's always a choice of the lesser of two evils. Well, the Israeli poet and novelist Amos Oz has said that in these times one has to learn to distinguish between degrees of evil. Neither Bush nor Kerry is a conservative, so you can forget that conservative-versus-liberal claptrap. If you look at their positions on the major issues, you will see they are so close a fat man couldn't get between them.
Another thing you will see is that both men are talking mainly about subjects that the Constitution does not authorize the federal government to do anything about. I'm talking about health care, welfare and education. These are subjects the Constitution intended for the states to handle.
The national government stopped paying any attention to the Constitution with the election of Abraham Lincoln. That's what the War Between the States was really all about. The South wanted the constitutional republic, which strictly limited the powers of the federal government. The North wanted a centralized national government, which would itself define the limits of its powers — or, to put it another way, would have unlimited powers. That was an old argument that had begun at the Constitutional Convention, and it ended at Appomattox.
But before you bemoan the loss of constitutional government, let me ask you if you are willing to give up Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. These are, of course, all socialist programs, as are the state-run schools and state-built highways. Most Americans today are socialists and don't know it. Years ago, the Socialist Party stopped running in national elections because the Democrats and Republicans had stolen all of its programs.
The main differences between Bush and Kerry are how they will conduct foreign policy and their constituencies. Bush's constituency is largely the very rich, the big corporations and the right-wing ideologues who think cheering while someone else goes to war is being patriotic and conservative.
Since I'm not rich, not a stockholder in a big corporation and think that going to war unnecessarily is liberal and unpatriotic, I'll probably push the Democratic lever, which will please my Confederate ancestors. After all, it was the Republican Party that (1) destroyed the constitutional republic, (2) invaded the South and (3) raped what was left with Reconstruction.
I realize 139 years is a long time to hold a grudge, but what the hey, I'm of Celtic ancestry. Besides, the Republican Party hasn't changed. It's still for big government and big business.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts.

Ryan Anderson
Ryan Anderson is a humorist and writer with a degree in journalism and philosophy that just sits in a box in his attic. You can read more of his musings here: http://www.twitter.com/kolchak
If you don't remember (and why would you?), Patricia Krentcil first made headlines after her 5-year-old daughter was burnt in a tanning booth and she thought the situation was perfectly fine -- thus earning herself the media moniker "Tanning Mom."
Now, inspired by Farrah Abraham, she too wants to copulate on camera.
Pamela Anderson was turning heads for a much different reason than usual at an April 15 event for the Obliphica Professional hair care line, showing up in minimal makeup, an elegant updo, and a high-necked black sheath dress with nary a boob showing.
For over a decade, Kelly Ripa co-hosted 'Live!' with Regis Philbin (after filling the impressive but wobbly shoes of Kathie Lee Gifford). But these days, Kelly and Reeg aren't the closest of friends.
Seems new celebrity pregnancies are announced every week. But if you're waiting for Portia de Rossi to be one of them, don't bother -- because she and wife Ellen DeGeneres like their childfree lives just as they are, thanks.
Start knitting those baby booties -- Halle Berry and and fiance Oliver Martinez are expecting.
If there's anyone with whom Lady Gaga would have a bad romance, it would be the Republican party. Which is probably why Mother Monster -- devout Democrat and patron saint of everything the GOP disdains -- reportedly shunned a $1 million offer to perform for the grand old party during its convention last year.
Halle Berry, her young daughter Nahla and beau Olivier Martinez were leaving LAX on Monday, April 1, when - shocker - they were met by a crowd of foaming-at-the-mouth paparazzi.
And Berry, who dislikes her kid's photo being taken so much that she wants to move to France to avoid it, pretty much came unglued.
After a six-year dry spell, Lindsay Lohan will end an apparent Letterman prohibition by appearing on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on Tuesday, Apr. 9.
'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno joined forces with his possible replacement -- 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon -- for a parody of 'Tonight' from 'West Side Story.'

Lily Collins' Style Makeover!
Just a few short years ago, Lily Collins was making some major fashion mishaps. Nowadays, she's a total movie star and is dressing the part! Check out her style evolution from girl next door to major head turner.
By Kara McGrath
Lily Collins - 2008
If the length of this dress wasnt so awkward, it could have been super-cute! The rouching is very flattering, and shows off her feminine curves. Plus, we love how her messy hair keeps the whole look from being too formal.

Before I get into things in terms of fantasy, we are again immersed in reality. We are again immersed in horrific reality due to senseless, mindless violence. I want to offer my thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims of the tragedy Newtown, Connecticut.
It is incomprehensible and quite honestly I am at a loss for words. Innocence is quickly shattered. A sad, sad day indeed.Â
If you have kids – give them a hug.
 Quarterbacks
QB Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts – Look, I realize Luck's inclusion on this list won't send his fantasy owners scrambling for a replacement but this could be a tough week for the star rookie. I would imagine that after being embarrassed on prime time television last week against the Patriots, the Texans will be raring to go on both sides of the ball. Look for Houston DE J.J. Watt to be in Luck's grill all afternoon.
QB Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys – This is a key game for both the Cowboys as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers. I will say that as unprepared the Steelers were last week against the Chargers, that will NOT be the case this week. That spells trouble for the Cowboys gunslinger.
Running Backs
RB Steven Ridley, New England Patriots – In what could shape up to be a splendid game, Ridley could find the sledding tough against a stout San Francisco run defense. While if you own him, you'll be starting him, but the matchup is a tough one, at not the most opportune time for fantasy owners.
RB Marcel Reece, Oakland Raiders – While he filled in more than admirably for an injured RB Darren McFadden, his fantasy value relies solely on the health the aforementioned McFadden. He was outstanding, but playing second fiddle is never a plus in the realm of fantasy. That said, if you have him, hang tight as McFadden is only a stiff breeze from the IR.
RB Montell Owens, Jacksonville Jaguars – I preface this by saying I hope the guy rushes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Not because I own him in any fantasy leagues, but because it is exciting to see a player get an unexpected opportunity and I wish him well. That said, the matchup is terrible as the Miami Dolphins are stellar defending against the run.
Wide Receivers
WR Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys – While it is admirable Dez is playing, a receiver with a finger broken so badly it will require surgery does not bode well for a banner playoff performance. Unless your league awards points for playing the decoy role, I would steer clear of Bryant and his wounded paw.
WR Stevie Johnson, Buffalo Bills – If you take in account his recent hamstring issues, in addition to going up against some tough physical Seattle cornerbacks, you might want to steer away from Johnson this week.
WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals – A shame really, the poor guy is a world-class talent but he has no one capable of getting him the football. If he did, he would surely excel this week as the Detroit Lions lack a true shut-down corner. Unfortunately for Fitzgerald his own quarterback will do that more efficiently than any Detroit Lions corner.
WR Hakeem Nicks, New York Giants – He just can seem to get over that injury hump to get back into the swing of things and become a quality option again for fantasy owners. I am not overly confident Nicks will delivery for fantasy owners when they obvious need it the most.
Take care, everyone.

We get a batch of official Hasbro Guardians of the Galaxy Toy Fair images as well as video of the display.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" has an August 1, 2014 release in the U.S.

Suzuki Equator mid-size pickup slated for Chicago debut
Suzuki is the little automaker with pluck, having galantly reached its ambitious goal of selling 100,000 vehicles in the U.S. last year. Soon another model with join Suzuki's lineup, and it's probably not what you think. Pickuptruck.com is reporting that the Japanese automaker will likely debut a new mid-size truck called the Equator at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show in February. The Equator name, while not confirmed or denied by Suzuki, has been registered as a trademark by the company. Suzuki will be getting help from Nissan to build its pickup, as the Equator will be produced on the same platform as the Frontier pickup and share that truck's assembly line in Smyrna, Tennessee. Mike Levine from Pickuptruck.com points out that Suzuki has definitely expressed interest in pickups before, having debuted the Grand Vitara Pickup Concept (shown above) at the 2000 Tokyo Motor Show. Let's not forget the excellent X-Head Concept that debuted at this year's show in Tokyo. Still, the mid-size pickup market in the U.S. is in even worse shape than the full-size pickup market, and is hardly stable enough to provide Suzuki with very many sales. If done well, however, the Equator could be the exception and give folks who own all manner of Suzuki hardware like bikes and ATVs a truck with which to tow their toys.

Chemistry (n.) - [kem-uh-stree]
- the interaction of one personality with another: The chemistry between him and his boss was all wrong.
- sympathetic understanding; rapport: the astonishing chemistry between the actors.
Chemistry between teammates is important in any sport. When a quarterback and receiver have good chemistry in football, the likelihood of a successful pass play is that much greater. If the outfielders have chemistry with the catcher in baseball, you have a stronger likelihood of a cutoff throw reaching home plate in time to tag the tying run out. Do you think no-look passing in basketball is possible without team chemistry? Didn't think so.
In a sport as fast-moving and ever-flowing as hockey, chemistry between players is just as important – if not moreso. On defense, where there are only two players to cover oncoming rushes, players need to instinctively know where their pairing partner is going to be. They need to trust that their partner will understand when to cover an attacking forward and when to back off, when to pick up a rush and when to let their partner pick up the slack.
The same goes for forwards. If you know where your line mates are going to be, you can pass the puck more easily up the ice, understand how to split the defensemen to put the team in better position to score and have a better idea of when going it alone is preferable to passing if off to your teammate.
This rapport can only be accomplished through the natural development of chemistry between players, and that takes time. One hears stories about how the most talented players stay after practice, running the same drills with each other to build chemistry. Then there's practice itself, when a coach and players develop shared understandings of team offense and defense philosophy. This time spent on repetition and communication builds chemistry, which then is reinforced on the ice.
Time. Repetition. Communication. Trust. Instinct. That's what builds chemistry.
The Columbus Blue Jackets welcomed at least as many new players to their organization – and by that, I mean bringing players in from totally outside the Blue Jackets major and minor league systems – as any other team in the National Hockey League. Head coach Todd Richards and his staff had a whopping six days of training camp practice before the first game. There were no preseason games this year. These guys barely knew each other's names and were expected to go out and compete as a team.
My friends, that combination does not promote team chemistry. And it's showing on the ice, as the team as a whole has been outscored 15-7 in just four games (with one of the seven goals apparently covering the shootout win, meaning that six actual goals have been scored). Only Phoenix (16) and Washington (17) have given up more goals thus far, and only Philadelphia (5) and Los Angeles (4) have scored less.
To be fair, the defensive pairs have been stable – more or less – since Jack Johnson rode into town at last season's trade deadline. Johnson plays with James Wisniewski. Fedor Tyutin plays with Nikita Nikitin. On the third pair, the one receiving the fewest on-ice minutes, newcomer and veteran mentor Adrian Aucoin is playing with youngsters John Moore and, presumably, David Savard. That's not to say that they've been playing terrific hockey, as the Tyutin-Nikitin combination has already piled up a -5 plus/minus. The other four have -2′s. But they do have some experience playing together.
The forwards are another matter altogether. It's hard to know where to start, though, because forwards scored only four of those six goals over four games. Four goals in four games. A small enough sample, so let's review:
GOAL 1: Game 1, Nick Foligno (power play)
GOAL 2: Game 1, Artem Anisimov (even strength)
Now, this was Game One. I think it safe to say that this was the best-played game of the very short season for the Blue Jackets. Was it because the Blue Jackets had their act together from the outset, or was it because Nashville wasn't ready for the season to start, either (The Predators are 1-1-2 right now, not exactly setting the world on fire…)? Time will tell.
GOAL 3: Game 2, Cam Atkinson (even strength)
GOAL 4: Game 2, Vinny Prospal (power play)
So what do we have? Three goals by forwards that could be construed to be resulting from something resembling team chemistry, with two in the first game and one in the second. Then, no forward goals at all from the just-concluded back-to-back road games in Phoenix and Denver.
Considering that the Columbus Blue Jackets have played 250 minutes of hockey thus far this season, that's nowhere near enough. League goal scoring leader Tampa already has 19 goals, followed by tonight's CBJ opponent, Chicago, with 17 – both in four games.
The goal scoring drought also explains why coach Richards is shuffling his forward lines (Here are the forward combinations from this morning's skate). Somehow, some way, Richards has to overcome the influx of unfamiliar faces and lack of practice time to find some lines with enough chemistry to put the puck in the net more than once or twice a game – if only to take pressure off his defensive corps and goaltenders.
I'm not blaming Richards or even the players for the lack of production…the lockout and truncated training camp all but made this problem an inevitability. Still, it must be overcome if the Columbus Blue Jackets are to regain a playoff seeding position in the Western Conference.
