When completing the Threat section of the IJ (Part III. Risk): ▪ First Choice: Describe specific terror (or violent homegrown extremist) incidents, threats, hate crimes, and/or related vandalism, trespass, intimidation, or destruction of property that have targeted its property, membership, or personnel.

BY JOHN SWENSON It has been a long, vertiginous and damn exciting roller coaster ride for Rush over the past decade-and-a-half. The group has gone from being unabashed Led Zeppelinites to kings of the concept album to the thinking man's heavy metal band to an uneasy combination of eighties record­ ing styles and seventies relentlessness. One thing Rush has never done is rest on its collective laurels-bassist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart have always been the first to point out the band's shortcomings when they feel legitimate deficiencies have surfaced. Accordingly, Lee was quick to admit his dissatisfaction with the band's last album, Grace Under Pressure , even though the record , which went platinum, has con­ solidated the band's position as one of Mercury/Polygram's most important acts. "We realized with Grace Under Pres­ sure ," said Lee on completion of the new album , Power Windows, "that we were not a techno-pop band.

  • The Dragon Line-Clockwork Angels-B 1 2
    The decision for an early arrival time at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh on the Eleventh day of September in the year of our Lord 2012, was made by our Executive Board here at Dragon Line Central for three reasons…One: We felt that it was necessary in order to facilitate the pickup of our V I P tickets…Two: We wanted ample time to find our seats and to acquire some much desired beverages for consumption, and Three: We had a mission to accomplish…and although our particular part to play in this mission was only recently revealed to us a little over a year ago, it is in fact a mission that had been in the making for a little over a half a century… The planning stages of this Operation began On December 1, 1946, when a locally based department store Magnate by the name of Edgar Kaufmann in conjunction with a Pittsburgh City Councilman named Abe Wolk declared that the city of Pittsburgh was in need of a new Amphitheater. Kaufmann’s Store Owner Pittsburgh City Councilman: < Edgar Kaufmann Sr. Abraham Wolk > Pittsburgh Civic Arena: Under Construction-Circa: 1959-1960 A little over two years later, on February 4, 1949, Kaufmann and the city each pledged $500,000 for construction and the search for a site began. In February 1950, Kaufmann revealed plans drawn up by architects James A. Mitchell and Dahlen K. Ritchey for a 10,500-seat Umbrella Amphitheater. The city of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County formed the Public Auditorium Authority in March of 1953 to assist in land purchases and construction planning; in September of 1955 the Federal Government approved a redevelopment plan making available over $ 17 million in loans and grants.
