If all you want is stick mags, about the cheapest/easiest 9mm magwell to use is the UZI. $20 @ Centerfire for a stripped lower with mag catch. Can be used bare or buy/whittle a set of grips to make it look better. You will still have to cut to fit and weld in, possibly fabricate a feed ramp as well.
thats a really good idea and one I had not thought of. Yea you really dont want to go grinding on a barrel and all that crap it would look like Sh!T.Quote:
IMI Uzi Grip (Stripped) Part #UZI-GRIP STRIPPED
Mags can be found used in the $12 range to new @ $20.
As far as lathe work goes, several people here do lathe work on bbls, it will cost some bucks but look and function a lot better than hand grinding.
If your going to do it do it right. read all the threads here in the last 5 years and then you will have a lot of knowledge. if you dont understand some thing then ask away there are no dumb questions when it comes to guns and safety. no one here will slam you for not knowing smething. they will slam you for wanting to do it half assed or un safe or ugly.
If an when you get ready for a barrel I and others can help for a resonable fee sometimes free if its some thing simple.

Arkansas Game and Fish officials say the number of ducks in the state is good despite recent dry weather.
A count conducted before the opening of duck season Nov. 17 showed nearly 833,000 ducks along a random path in the Delta, including 442,000 mallards. The mallard count was the highest since the Game and Fish Commission began its surveys across the Delta in 2009.
Despite recent dry weather, the duck count was similar to the long-range average for November.
The state also conducted a similar survey in the Arkansas River Valley on Nov. 8 and found only 7,700 ducks, including 1,000 mallards. A survey in southwestern Arkansas two weeks later found 22,000 ducks, including 13,000 mallards.
Arkansas operates a split season. Duck hunting resumes Dec. 6.

A 12-year-old girl from Frederica was charged with harassment this week after repeatedly pestering another child online, according to police.
Harrington Police Department spokesman Earl K. Brode said the victim's parents first reported the harassment in September 2012.
At that time, police contacted the girl and directed her to have no further contact with the victim, he said.
The girl reportedly refused to listen to that advice and continued contacting the victim online, prompting police to obtain a warrant for her arrest.
The girl turned herself into to police on Monday and was later released to her parents' custody, pending a future court appearance in Kent County Family Court, Brode said.

Full SubmissionThe Importance of Environmental Compliance and Enforcement for Sustainable Development for the Rio+20 Conference Submitted by The International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE), 2300 Wisconsin Ave, NW, Suite 300B, Washington, D.C., 20007, email@example.com, http://www.inece.org Summary Robust national environmental compliance and enforcement systems for environmental and energy laws are critical parts of an effective overall governance strategy to meet green economy, poverty eradication, and sustainable development objectives. Multidisciplinary approaches to capacity building for parliamentarians, inspectors, prosecutors, and judges are keys to this process. Well designed environmental laws and regulations, which include implementation and enforcement systems, advance a green economy by improving the health and safety of the workforce and communities, conserving natural resources and ecosystem services, promoting sustainability in the business community, expanding markets for environmental goods and services, creating sustainable jobs, driving technology innovation, and leveling the playing field for investment by reducing costs. Recommendation for Language in the Rio+20 Outcomes Robust national environmental compliance and enforcement systems for environmental and energy laws are critical parts of an effective overall governance strategy to meet green economy, poverty eradication and sustainable development objectives. Chapter 8 of Agenda 21 specifically directs States to develop their compliance and enforcement capacity. The outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference should emphasize institutional mechanisms at the international and domestic levels for implementation, accountability, compliance, and enforcement, supported by a science-based approach. a) Expectations for the outcome of Rio+20 The International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE) anticipates that the Parties to Rio + 20 recognize that robust national environmental compliance and enforcement systems for environmental and energy laws are critical parts of an effective overall governance strategy to meet green economy, poverty eradication and sustainable development objectives. The outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference should emphasize institutional mechanisms at the international and domestic levels for implementation, accountability, compliance, and enforcement, supported by a science-based approach. INECE calls on the conveners of the Rio+20 process to recognize that compliance with and enforcement of national environmental and energy laws are critical components of an overall strategy for achieving green economic growth. In part, green economy objectives can be achieved through a modern approach to regulation and compliance that creates value and opportunities by reducing costs for industry and business, creating markets for environmental goods and services, reducing business risk and increasing investor confidence, creating sustainable jobs, improving the health of the workforce and the wider public, and conserving natural resources. Well-designed environmental regulation can trigger innovations within firms that partially or fully offset the costs of compliance with those regulations. b) Comments on existing proposals Recognizing the importance of well-designed institutions for international environmental governance and echoing the recommendations of the Key Messages from North American Major Groups and Stakeholders, INECE encourages Rio+20 to emphasize the need for countries to develop domestic enforcement mechanisms that empower all citizens to call for and seek legal recourse in terms of compliance to commitments, laws and regulations. c) Views on implementation and closing the implementation gap, including relevant actors 1. Views on implementation Environmental laws and policies must be designed with compliance and enforceability in mind. For the regulated community to comply, it must be aware of the rules, willing to comply, and able to comply. Laws must therefore be no more complex than necessary, cost-effective to comply with, and consider the social, cultural and psychological profile of the regulated community. Rules running counter to cultural practices or ignoring economic incentives are likely to fail. Rules that reward environmental leadership, build on best practices, and ensure a level playing field are more likely to succeed in securing compliance. Investing in compliance and enforcement benefits the public by securing a healthier and safer environment for themselves and their children. It benefits individuals, firms and others in the regulated community by ensuring a level playing field governed by clear rules applied in a fair and consistent manner. Economically, firms meeting or exceeding environmental standards regularly build customer loyalty, increase efficiency, and enhance their profits. Countries benefit by creating a predictable investment climate based on the rule of law thereby promoting economic development. And through strengthening compliance with international obligations, countries ensure that multilateral environmental agreements are implemented by all parties through effective domestic action. 2. Closing the implementation gap Closing the implementation gap will require building the capacity of countries to enforce domestic laws and multilateral environmental agreements. Even the best designed rules may still pose difficulties to those who lack technical, financial, or administrative capacity. Securing compliance therefore calls for renewed efforts to raise awareness of the law, to strengthen compliance assistance programs, and to enhance incentives for compliance. Efforts at the national level must be designed to address the needs of small- and medium-sized enterprises, and, at the international level, the needs of the least developed and developing countries. International institutions and donors have a particular role to play in supporting these efforts. d) Specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements and other implementation tools and the time frame for their implementation Trans-governmental Networks Advance Cooperation for Sustainable Development Cooperation among government officials help create a level playing field for regulated industries domestically and internationally, resolve and prevent transboundary environmental problems, respond to environmental crimes, create efficiencies in the development of tools and programs, and foster the political will needed to strengthen implementation of environmental standards. Operating as transgovernmental networks focused on environmental compliance and enforcement, the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement and its regional and topical networks provide the forums and mechanisms that enable direct interaction among and between domestic officials, international institutions, and private actors. The Rio+20 process should recognize the role of transgovernmental networks in improving compliance with and enforcement and implementation of environmental law. Strengthening environmental compliance and enforcement requires renewed efforts by individuals and institutions everywhere. Government officials, particularly inspectors, investigators, and prosecutors, must exercise public authority in trust for all of their citizens according to the standards of good governance and with a view to protecting and improving public well-being and conserving the environment. Legislators play a key role in creating legislation that can be effectively enforced to achieve its goals. The judiciary has a fundamental contribution to make in upholding the rule of law and ensuring that national and international laws are interpreted and applied fairly, efficiently, and effectively. The regulated community and the public have a responsibility to comply with the letter and spirit of the law and to encourage compliance by others. Non-governmental organizations play a leading role in public Education and assisting enforcement agencies. The media has a responsibility to raise public awareness by providing objective analysis and information about environmental challenges and efforts to address them. The international community, including donors and international organizations, has a responsibility to strengthen domestic efforts through capacity building, technical and financial support, and by promoting an enabling environment for more effective compliance and enforcement.

In preparation for their November album, Live From The Grove, 3:33 has released a special project entitled The First Thousand Days, which is dope enough to really just be its own full length project.
Described as intensely experiential, 3:33 aims to take the listener on an exploration of existence itself with this project. You might compare it to the soundtrack to your favorite RPG, riddled with the cinematic landscape of mystery and haunting secret worlds. "On this journey, you will encounter, hooded figures, invisible trap doors opening and snapping shut. You will find yourself in the midst of a drum circle and watch your inner being twisting, bending in half, head banging, folding into itself and finally blossoming with relief." It's not a game. While the digital release is free, the group has also made a limited edition run of 100 cassette tapes they're selling on Bandcamp.

"Good morning, this is God. I will be handling all of your problems today. I will not need your help, so have a good time. I love you." ~God
Today I want to share with you three ways to help you to turn around worry. Yesterday I talked with a dear friend about how we deal with fear. Some people go into overwhelm, some give up, and some escape in different ways. Do you recognize yourself in any of those responses?
Or maybe you're like me; I go into concern and worry mode. It's not that it has ever helped me or that any of the worst-case scenarios I've imagined — and my imagination is very BIG! — came true. Whatever we do, it's about fear; it's always about fearing a negative outcome concerning something that hasn't happened yet. We ask "what if…," and we fill in the worst-case scenario. How many "what if's" do you have floating around in your mind?
So how do you deal with fear? Here are three things you can do:
1. Read the quote at the top of this article. If you have a hard time giving away all your worries and concerns for a full day, then do it only for a few hours. That's what I did when I practiced this technique for the first time. It's like going on a vacation from your mind. You can start small and work up to a full day, gently and progressively. Ultimately, this is the best strategy you can ever use. I am still in practice mode, and this poem is glued on my Dream Board. I don't know who wrote it, but it reminds me every day how to deal with my concern and worry. The first time I played with this strategy for a couple of hours, I drove to Barnes & Noble bookstore, and the book Ask and It's Given by Abraham Hicks dropped in my lap. I said, "Is it really that easy?" It must be so, but as human beings we aren't used to letting go and letting God.
2. Create a belief statement and say: "I am in the process of trusting that… " Fill in the challenge you're struggling with, and end with a positive outcome.
3. Every time you catch yourself worrying, instead of saying "I worry," say, "I wonder…," and focus on a positive outcome. Dealing with fear and worry can be unhealthy and unproductive. And the most powerful strategies are the simplest and easiest to implement! Try these three ideas today, and let me know how they work for you!

Five-Run Rally Earns Split For Baseball During Doubleheader v. Harvard
Box Scores: Harvard 4, Princeton 3 l Princeton 6, Harvard 2
It wasn't always pretty for the Princeton baseball offense Wednesday, but a five-run outburst in its final inning was enough to earn a split with Harvard in a rescheduled doubleheader at Clarke Field. Harvard won the opener, which began on a rainy final day of March, during extra innings of a cold, sunny day in mid-April 4-3, but Princeton rallied for a 6-2 win in the nightcap.
Game 1
As if 17 days wasn't long enough to wait for the completion of the Harvard-Princeton opening game, Alec Keller made sure fans needed an extra two innings to determine the result. Unfortunately, an errant throw in the top of the ninth led the Crimson to a 4-3 victory in nine innings.
Harvard led 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Danny Hoy was hit by a pitch to start the tying rally. The Crimson brought in T.J. Laurisch for the save attempt, but it lasted only a few pitches. Keller greeted him with a line drive over the rightfield fence to even the score at 3-3.
Princeton had an opportunity to win the game in regulation, but Jonathan York grounded out to third base with runners on second and third.
The game would remain 3-3 into the ninth inning, when Hoy's throwing error allowed Jack Colton to score the winning run.
Keller was 3-for-4 in the game, with all three Princeton RBIs. Senior Michael Fagan started the game and pitched Wednesday's first three innings off short rest from his Saturday start at Columbia. He struck out eight batters over seven innings. Sophomore Chris Bodurian threw the final two innings and took the loss despite allowing only one hit and striking out two.
Game Two
After seven quiet innings at the plate, Princeton made the most of the bottom of the eighth inning to salvage the split against Harvard.
After the Tigers hadn't recorded a base hit in four innings, they recorded six in the eighth inning alone. Billy Arendt, who had two hits in the inning, led off with a double to the leftfield fence. A wild pitch moved Arendt to third base and pushed the infield in, and Danny Baer took advantage by lacing a single through the right side.
A walk and a bloop single to right field loaded the bases and brought in Harvard reliever Matt Timoney. Princeton freshman Zack Belski hit a ground ball to second base to bring in Baer for the go-ahead run. Paul Tupper followed with an RBI single to right field that scored Danny Hoy, and Nick Hernandez added a two-run, two-out single for a trio of insurance runs.
The comeback was possible after a strong pitching performance from the duo of Luke Strieber and Nick Donatiello. Strieber allowed only two unearned runs in the first inning, while Donatiello came in for the final two innings and recorded his first win of the season.
Princeton will look to build on its late offensive explosion this weekend when it hosts division leader Penn in four games at Clarke Field. Penn will bring an 11-1 league record into the weekend, while Princeton stands at 5-7.

|XC sweeps team titles
MOSCOW, Idaho - Juniors Markus Geiger and Julia Veseth paced the Idaho men's and women's cross country teams to victory on Saturday in the season-opening All-Idaho Cup at the Virgil Phillips Farm County Park.
Idaho cross country coach Wayne Phipps said he was pleased with the performances over the weekend, especially considering that the team went through a heavy workout load early in the week.
Veseth, a former walk-on from Moscow, Idaho (Moscow HS), paced the women with a second-place overall finish and time of 18:09.12 in the 5,000m course. She was followed closely by her Idaho teammates, who took fifth through ninth to give Idaho an impressive team score of 28.
Geiger out-kicked teammate Barry Britt to take home the title on the men's side. He finished the 8,000m course with a time of 24:52.81, while Britt followed with a 25:03.97 for second place. The men's team compiled a score of 34.
"It's amazing how we push each other in the workouts and also now in the competition," Geiger said of his friendly rivalry with Britt. "Without Barry, I definitely would have run half a minute slower today."
Kelsey Klettke of Lewis-Clark State took the women's individual title with a time of 17:48.41.
On the women's side, junior Lauren Schaffer (5th, 18:35.78), junior Anna Kalbrener (6th, 18:38.15), senior Erica Digby (7th, 18:43.44) and freshman Hannah Kiser (8th, 18:45.84) rounded out the team scoring. Freshman Holly Stanton took ninth for Idaho in 19:00.03, while fellow first-year Vandal Emily Paradis was 16th with a time of 19:12.68.
Junior Alex Brekke was Idaho's third finisher on the men's side at seventh overall (26:15.75), followed by senior Jeremiah Dubie (12th, 26:26.72), and sophomore Sam Salus (17th, 26:39.41) to round out the team's top five.
The individual victory is the second of Geiger's career, while the runner-up finish for Veseth is the highest for her as a Vandal.
In the men's team scoring, College of Idaho took second with 68 points, just ahead of Gonzaga, which had 69. Lewis-Clark State was fourth at 80 and Eastern Washington was fifth with 86. For the women, Gonzaga took second with 48 points, while College of Idaho was third with 78, LCSC was fourth with 104 and Eastern Washington was fifth with 121.
After a one-week break from competition, Idaho will head to Seattle for the Sundodger Invitational on Saturday, September 18.

ZF-5147: partialLoop counter does not reset between calls
The partialLoop counter remembers its position between calls to the partialLoop helper. This is undesired, as separate calls to the partialLoop represent essentially separate loops, with unrelated counters.

Any chance of getting this backported to 1.7.x ?
It is a pretty annoying bug if you are trying to treat the first element differently.

For the past week, we've been sharing stories about people using, making and selling meth. And conversely, the people who fight every day to stop them.
If you think the war on meth doesn't affect you, think again. It's not hard to see the collateral damages associated with the meth business. Families fall apart, innocent children are burned and your taxpayer money is spent to jail and treat meth addicts.
One local woman is taking the battle head on; Suzy Thompson lost her son Keith in 2002 to a meth addiction. At the time, Keith was only 27 years old.
"He said mama listen to me, I love you. I love you more than anything in this world. You've always been there for me but down the road you're going to have to forgive me because I can't run from these demons any longer," Suzy reflects.
Less than a minute later Suzy heard the single gunshot at her son's house next door. The medical examiner told her that if Keith had not shot himself, he would have continued to commit a long, painful suicide caused by his meth addiction.
Suzy said, I don't think people are aware of what these drugs are doing to the brain, the medical examiner told Suzy that at the time of Keith's death, the frontal lobe of his brain had liquefied from all the crystal meth.
Authorities who have seen the wrath first hand say the addicts families are the real victims.
Assistant State Attorney Greg Wilson said after years of defending, prosecuting and investigating meth labs, the people who care about the addict are the ones who suffer far more than the addict.
And Capt. Faith Bell of the Bay County Sheriff Office agrees.
"When it comes down to it, [the family] is paying for it. Because the user doesn't have any money and they don't care if they get help or not, so the family member is paying. Rehab is very, very expensive," Capt. Bell said.
And not every ending is a happy one, "the past three of four meth lab explosion, there have been children in the house," she said.
In August 1-year old Johna Alexis Osborn suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to 40-percent of her body in a meth lab explosion allegedly caused by her mother and father.
"If those children are crawling around where they're cooking crystal meth, the fumes and the residue is settling on the furniture, on the floors. They're crawling around. Believe what I'm telling you, it's going to affect their brain," Suzy said.
And the damage is not limited to children.
Bay Medical Center Pharmacist Laura Gould is supporting a family member who is rehabbing from an addiction.
Despite what appears to be a successful recovery, Gould says it's been a long, difficult process, "It's almost like you're in jail too... In a lot of ways," Gould said.
"As a mother, you say to yourself, is there anything in this world I could have done?" Suzy said. But she talks about her son's suicide, hoping it will help keep at least one person from walking the same path as Keith.

Marking a major milestone for the Coast Guard's acquisition program and the Fast Response Cutter project, the Coast Guard Asset Project Office formally transferred sustainment responsibility for the Coast Guard's Sentinel-class patrol boats to the Surface Forces Logistics Center in a ceremony at the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Md., Sept. 25, 2013.
Established in 2009 to ensure the service's logistics community and facilities infrastructure can absorb new assets introduced through the service's acquisition program, the APO bridges the gap between the acquisition and sustainment phases in the major project life cycle. When the first ships of each class are delivered to the Coast Guard, the APO assumes initial responsibility for maintenance, supply, and logistics by establishing new asset lines to demonstrate processes and procedures are in place to sustain the assets through their operational years.
Each asset line established by the APO is a huge undertaking that encompasses budgeting for shore-side improvement and support billets, configuration control for the asset class, developing depot-level maintenance specifications, establishing supply chains and logistics support plans, issuing contracts for critical services, and addressing other major management challenges.
In addition to the FRC, the APO is also developing an acquisition product line for the Offshore Patrol Cutter. For each asset plan, the APO, the SFLC, and acquisition program staff at Coast Guard headquarters jointly construct criteria that must be satisfied before sustainment responsibility can be transferred to the field maintenance and logistics systems.
The FRC is the first project to emerge from this process and be fully integrated into the Coast Guard's support infrastructure. Six FRCs have been commissioned to date, and the seventh cutter will be commissioned later this year. With this transition, all future FRCs will enjoy mature field support systems beginning with their first day of service.
Rear Admiral Ronald J. Rábago, Assistant Commandant for Engineering and Logistics, and Ms. Claire M. Grady, Deputy Assistant Commandant for Acquisition and Director of Acquisition Services, presided over the transition ceremony and recognized the work performed by the entire mission support enterprise by presenting a meritorious team commendation to Fast Response Cutter transition team members, including APO, SFLC, FRC Project Residence Office and headquarters acquisition staff.

Original Message
In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS, the following was the 2011 thread.
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
The following is the 2012 Thread up to the end of August.
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
Now we enter into the last four months of 2012. Follow the past year to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread.
Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, 2012 will be the start of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, what the results of the US election have in store for Israel, the Mideast and the US, and what will happen in Syria.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2012 looks to be a year of turmoil.
There are seers warning of some type of sign from God this coming year. The Mayan's seemed to predict something. The Pope may flee Rome? A comet in the sky? Great earthquakes? Signs in the sky?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying.
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alyssa So yummy and easy This really surprised me! Miso is one of my favs, and this tastes just like in a restaurant. Generous helping of greens, and I thought the tofu was great! January 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by April33 Surprisingly Good. This instant soup mix was surprisingly good. I am a huge fan of miso soup and always order it when I am at a Japanese restaurant. I bought these to keep in my desk at work for a quick lunch/snack. It tastes almost as good as restaurant! Seriously! The tofu is probably the only drawback, it does not rehydrate very well, and has a bit of a funky texture. But what do you expect from something that comes in a pouch. I will definitely buy these again. If you had fresh ingredients on hand to add in it would be even better. October 9, 2012

Alice Cooper (vocals; born February 4, 1948), Glen Buxton (guitar; born November 10, 1947, died October 18, 1997), Michael Bruce (guitar, keyboards; born March 16, 1948), Dennis Dunaway (bass; born December 9, 1948), Neal Smith (drums; born September 23, 1947).
Before the world heard of KISS, the New York Dolls, Marilyn Manson or Ozzy Osbourne, there was Alice Cooper, the original shock-rock band. With their penchant for ghoulish stage shows and a gender-bending wardrobe, this five-man group brought the element of theater to the world of rock. That alone would securely cement their stature as innovators. Yet they backed up their penchant for outrage with rock-solid music. Beyond the visuals Alice Cooper was a musical powerhouse, incorporating melodic hooks and complex progressive-rock passages into a foundation of catchy, riff-driven hard rock delivered in Cooper's menacing, take-no-prisoners voice. Many of their songs – including "I'm Eighteen," "Under My Wheels," "Be My Lover" and "School's Out" – remain anthems of the classic-rock era.
During their Seventies heyday it was impossible to be indifferent about Alice Cooper. They were one of the first acts of the modern-rock era that forced people to sit up and take notice, engendering curiosity and controversy in equal measure. The controversy began with the group's very name. Alice Cooper was the both a band name and stage handle of its lead singer (born Vincent Furnier), suggesting a flamboyant sexual dualism that America was not yet ready to accept. Reportedly, the name surfaced during a session with the Ouija board.
Onstage, Alice Cooper brought a new level of visual theatrics to arenas with their gory array of props, which included a guillotine, electric chair, boa constrictor and fake blood. Their musical set pieces included Cooper's beheading and electrocution. Their bleakly humorous explorations of the dark side were a far cry from the Woodstock ideals of peace and love. "We were the group that drove a stake through the heart of the love generation," noted Cooper. The group was even deemed objectionable behind the Iron Curtain. According to Pravda, the Russian state newspaper, "Alice Cooper's singing makes the blood run cold."
They even jump-started the punk-rock movement that took root in Britain, inspiring the likes of Johnny Rotten (a.k.a., John Lydon). "I've referred to the Sex Pistols as 'musical vaudeville' and 'evil burlesque,' and for me there was definitively Alice Cooper influence there," Lydon reflected.
Alice Cooper was banned, censured and lambasted by the establishment, all of which further fueled ticket sales to their concert spectacles. Their 1973 tour broke box-office records previously held by the Rolling Stones, and raised the bar for touring rock bands. After Alice Cooper, fans came to expect more from the concert experience. They wanted to see a show.
The roots of Alice Cooper extend back to Cortez High School in Phoenix, Arizona, where the core members came together as music aficionados with a shared yen for the macabre and surreal. They weren't necessarily alienated misfits, as three members of the Earwigs – the first group in the Alice Cooper lineage – were high-school track stars who ranked among the fastest milers in the state. Dunaway, original drummer John Speer and Alice Cooper himself (known as Vince Furnier to his friends) could run a 4:30 mile, according to Cooper. Renaming themselves the Spiders, they scored a regional hit with "Don't Blow Your Mind." They changed names again to the Nazz and moved to Hollywood in 1968 with the idea of making it nationally. The final name change to Alice Cooper came when they learned there already was a Nazz – the Todd Rundgren-led group from Philadelphia – in existence.
The Alice Cooper band comprised vocalist Cooper, lead guitarist Glen Buxton, rhythm guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neal Smith. Early on, the group connected with two New Yorkers, Shep Gordon and Joe Greenberg, who saw potential in Cooper and his bandmates and became their managers. Frank Zappa signed them to his Straight label. Zappa was attracted to the way the group flouted conventions, both socio-sexual and musical. Alice Cooper's first two albums, Pretties for You (1969) and Easy Action (1970), were strange even by Sixties psychedelic standards, but hold up today as monuments to the group's undaunted pursuit of the bizarre.
However, Alice Cooper himself regards those records more as products of the group's Nazz era and considers Love It to Death the first real Alice Cooper album. This release marked the group's debut on Warner Bros. and the first of four with producer Bob Ezrin. (He would also go on to produce Alice Cooper as a solo artist.) With his cinematic and colorful production style, Ezrin came to be regarded by Alice Cooper as their George Martin (the Beatles' producer). He taught them to focus, edit and tighten their more sprawling conceptual numbers. Released in 1971, Love It to Death was a tour de force of misfit fantasies and adolescent angst whose key number, "Eighteen," gave Alice Cooper its first hit and an indelible classic about the anxieties of late adolescence.
Alice Cooper's most highly regarded album, Killer – the group's second from the pivotal year of 1971 - demonstrated that they'd become a fine-tuned ensemble that possessed both prog-rock imagination and hard-rock drive. Two of its songs, "Under My Wheels" and "Be My Lover," are textbook examples of Seventies rock at its most dynamic. The title track from the 1972 release School's Out became the group's biggest hit, reaching Number Seven and propelling the album to Number Two on the album chart. Billion Dollar Babies would claim the top spot a year later and give them two more Top Forty hits, "Hello Hurray" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy." However, an exhausting rock-star lifestyle and work schedule were taking their toll on the band, and 1973's Muscle of Love proved to be the original band's finale.
Alice Cooper was a musically multifaceted group. They're best known for hard-rocking hits, but as guitarist Michael Bruce has observed: "There were all these sides to the band. There was a psychedelic side and a hard-rock side and a beatnik side – and, of course, a comic side."
Cooper himself contended that the main influences on the band were nonmusical. In a 1970 interview with the Berkeley Barb, he said, "Our conditioning has been television, our conditioning has been the space age, so that's the kind of music we're going to play. We're not going to play Delta blues. We were upper middle class suburban brats who had anything we wanted.... The whole end is that we are what we are now – a living social criticism."
Initially Alice Cooper was steeped in the boundless creativity of the psychedelic Sixties. The original lineup of Pink Floyd, including Syd Barrett, stayed at Alice Cooper's group house while on tour in America. Although it's often overlooked, one can detect influences from brainy British progressive-rock groups like Pink Floyd and King Crimson in Alice Cooper's music, especially on the earlier albums.
One of the unsung heroes of the glitter-rock movement is Cindy Smith, the sister of drummer Neal Smith, who designed and created the band's outrageous wardrobe. The group's attention to presentation extended beyond the stage. Even Alice Cooper's albums came costumed, serving as more than mere sleeves for the records therein. Killer had a detachable poster calendar. The gatefold jacket for Billion Dollar Babies resembled a snakeskin wallet and was stuffed with paper items. School's Out came bundled with a pair of women's panties. Muscle of Love was enclosed in a cardboard box, resembling some hucksterish promotion one might've heard about on late-night television and ordered through the mail.
Implicit in all of this was the group's bemused commentary on the gloriously tacky state of a capitalistic nation caught up in the unending marketing of things. The irony is that beneath their shock-rock veneer, Alice Cooper was ultimately as all-American as horror films, sit-coms, pro wrestling and infomercials.
Alice Cooper really was an American band, with peripatetic tentacles that touched nearly every corner of the country. The group came together in their hometown of Phoenix but also lived communally in Los Angeles, Detroit and suburban Connecticut at different points in their career. They had a diligent work ethic and were either writing, rehearsing or touring virtually from their late-Sixties origins to their demise in early 1974.
Thereafter, Alice Cooper launched a solo career that has been prolific and popular, especially the albums Welcome to My Nightmare (Number Five, 1975), Alice Cooper Goes to Hell (Number 27, 1976) and Trash (Number 20, 1989). Three Alice Cooper band members – Bruce, Dunaway and Smith – briefly regrouped as Billion Dollar Babies, releasing one album, Battle Axe, in 1977. However, the five members of Alice Cooper never reunited. Guitarist Buxton died in 1997 due to health complications from drug and alcohol abuse. Beyond the world of music, Cooper has appeared in several movies (including a memorable cameo in Wayne's World) and hosts a successful syndicated radio show, "Nights with Alice Cooper." His 2008 album, Along Came a Spider, was the 25th album of his career, including those by the Alice Cooper group. In 2011, Cooper released Welcome 2 My Nightmare.
It's impossible to imagine the attitude of punk rock, the theatricality of New Wave or the style and sound of hair-metal and latter-day punk bands without Alice Cooper's precedent. They influenced acts from Guns n' Roses and Green Day to the Sex Pistols and Marilyn Manson. Even flamboyant latter-day indie-rockers like Of Montreal owe a debt to Alice Cooper.
"The Alice Cooper Band actually changed the way people looked when they walked down the street," observed Cooper in a 2000 interview with Russell Hall, published in Goldmine magazine. "And we changed the way stage shows look. We had a big impact on the entire culture, and it wasn't just the music, although the music has stood up well over all those years. I think we were at the apex of a movement."

A SPECTACULAR firework display crowned a day of entertainment to mark the Taunton Christmas lights switch-on yesterday - but the events didn't please everyone.
The town centre was packed to watch Father Christmas, carnival royalty and special guests press the plunger to switch on this year's display.
The fireworks, launched from the roof of Debenhams, were the culmiunation of a day of entertainment staged in several locations around the town centre.
Attractions included concerts hosted by the Perfect 5th, dance displays, a Continental market, Taunton Vale Farmers' Market, the Blackdown Hills Market, stalls, refreshments, fairground rides and singing.
Children could also try a range of arts and crafts in 'make-and-do' tents, as well as juggling and plate spinning in the circus-skills workshop.
The town centre was also closed to traffic for the day.
Father Christmas led a procession from the Brewhouse Theatre to the town centre before a dazzling fire show by Cirque Bijou wowed the crowds on a specially-constructed stage around the the Burma memorial outside the Market House.
Your County Gazette promotions team was also there offering goodie bags to shoppers.
This year's Christmas lights switch-on day was boosted by sponsors orchard - formerly the Old Market Centre - which hosted a carousel and other attractions during the day.
But some visitors left disappointed with proceedings.
Readers of somersetcountygazette.co.uk have criticised the events, listing a number of problems including:
- A delay to the switch-on schedule
- Poor visibiliy of the main stage and the fire show
- Problems with the sound system from the main stage
- A scramble for the free carousel in orchard
- Complaints about Santa and the procession
For a photo gallery, click on the Related Links below, and for a video news report, keep checking this website today. For a full round-up of events, don't miss Thursday's County Gazette.
Town centre bosses have hailed the event a success and have moved to address the complaints by visitors.
Here's what town centre manager Graham Love said:
On the delay to the schedule: "It is clear there was some misinformation with regard to the events, particularly around the timing of the finale which was widely pre-promoted as taking place from 4-5pm.
"Work on the event build-up began around 6.30am and the finale concluded by 5.15pm. Those following the event programme will not have been disappointed."
On the Burma Memorial: "We used a professional firm of scaffolders who put up the stage around the monument. The performers provided a comprehensive risk assessment for their activities and were adequately insured for the performance they gave.
"We worked closely with local authorities and the police on public safety and we ensured we left Taunton as we found it.
"Part of the switch-on is a celebration of life and community and it was a good use of a town centre space.
"It was exciting and vibrant and something different for Taunton."
On limited visibility of the main stage and the fire show: "Where events are free, they are likely to be crowded and it is important to get there early to avoid disappointment.
"The platform for the fire show was at a height that the performers and authorities felt was acceptable."
On sound problems: "If sound was an issue, there are ways that can be overcome but there's a cost attached to that and we have to find significantly more budget to do more than we did this year."
On Santa: "Santa was a character from When Santa Fell to Earth, playing at the Brewhouse – perhaps people need to get along and find out why he was tall, skinny and dressed in the colours he was."
Meanwhile, Paul Blyth, of Kirkstone Real Estate, owners of orchard – formerly The Old Market Centre – said: "Many thousands came to take a look at the newly refurbished centre over the weekend and they were entertained by a variety of live music, children's face-painting, a Punch and Judy show and other free attractions.
On queues at the free carousel: "The children's carousel was a big success and operated smoothly all weekend. We experienced a particularly high volume of people towards the end of Sunday's activities before the start of the parade. In response to this, the operator stopped the carousel whilst the centre's management team brought out some safety barriers to make queuing more orderly.
On the centre closing time: "The centre closed at the normal time and people were still able to access the car park via other entrances. We are sorry if some people had a slightly longer walk back to their cars."

Tried to post some pics, but they wouldn't go.
Put the first miles on the Little Mistress....2.3 miles to be exact. Just prior to, I put the 25 tooth engine sprocket back on, which required a 84 link primary. After adjusting that up, the rear chain was a little loose, but I was too excited and took it out without a rear chain adjust, and the rear chain flopped around a little more than I expected or liked.
Timing was still a bit too advanced, so getting into third gear resulted in a bit of PING. So, I just eased it around the two mile loop, and called it good.
Other than that, no problems, no oil leaks, sounded and felt great, felt like a comfortable ride.
I sure am rusty on the foot clutch...stalled it on a U-turn because I didn't put her in neutral, and coast through the turn.
The gears feel quite tall for sure, but she's so light that it doesn't bog or anything like that in first gear.....but you can tell she has long legs and I did most of the two miles in second quite comfortably.
So, I'm quite stoked. While I had the primary chain off I cleaned off the clutch hub bearings real well. I installed those long bearings previously, and discovered they don't like heavy grease, so I re-greased with some light Teflon lube. I also put two extra plates in, one steel, one friction, and wow oh wow did I get this clutch right. Eases into first gear nice as you please, nice and easy. Also shifted from gear to gear just fine, considering I was rusty on the jockey shifting too. Clutch engagement was slicker than sour owl snot.
Hopefully Wednesday will bring nice dry roads, and ride #2 will be longer than two point two miles. YEAH!!!!!!!
Now to do battle with the Department of Licensing. oh boy.

Reports of growing global CO2 emissions is a huge cause for concern, says Jim White, director of the CU-Boulder Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and an expert on ice cores and climate change.
Nov. 4, 2011
Reports of growing global CO2 emissions is a huge cause for concern, says Jim White, director of the CU-Boulder Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and an expert on ice cores and climate change.
CUT 1 "I think what this means is that we are making more and more of a commitment to climate change. One of the key pieces of our planet is that there is a delay between when we put greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and when the climate changes. And that delay is because we live on a water planet. It takes water a while to absorb that heat. So what we're doing now is committing our children and grand children more and more to climate change. (:29)
White says the only choice we have is to either accept climate change and the consequences that come with it or change what we are doing to slow down the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.
CUT 2 "At some point we have to either accept the climate changes that are coming or we have to change our ways and bring in renewables faster than we have been.
(:12) We haven't turned the corner yet. When you see CO2 emissions go up and up every year it means you haven't turned the corner. At some point we have to make those emissions level out and go down. Then we will know we are on a path towards renewables and towards a sustainable future." (:30)
To the naysayers of the world who say climate change is not happening, White says all you need to understand if climate change is happening or not is to trust in physics.
CUT 3 "If you trust in physics – in other words – if you won't walk off the edge of a bridge then you should also trust in the physics of climate change. It is just as simple and just as basic. (:12) If we put greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we will change the climate. The big question is: what are the impacts? What are the things we are going to have to deal with? Will it be changes in precipitation that causes us to struggle with growing enough food? We don't know. (:31) It will definitely be sea level rise. There are some pieces to this that are very clear are going to happen. But we're kind of rolling the dice in terms of the future climate. And we are rolling the dice and playing with our kid's inheritance." (:45)
Another certainty, says White, is we will run out of fossil fuels and at some point we will need to rely on alternative and renewable energy sources to survive.
CUT 4 "But there is really no getting around the fact that fossil fuels have a limited lifetime. We will burn all the oil economically available, all the gas economically available and then we will burn all the coal economically available. It will be gone at some point. So at some point we do have to become a planet that uses renewable energy. (:17) And the question is: when is that time going to be and do we do that time earlier when we have a chance to control climate change or do we do it later when we are just throwing our chances to the wind when it comes to climate change.

Among the few entities in the world involved in climate change crisis struggle providing strategic support to all three pillars of Sustainability: Education, law & policy formation & climate movement
Earth Summit 2012 Rio+20, Earth?s last chance
?This is the story of Rhysling, the Blind Singer of the Spaceways - but not the official version. You sang his verses at school:
?We pray for one last landing; On the globe that gave us birth; Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies; And the cool, green hills of Earth?
Or perhaps you sang in French, or German. Or it might have been Esperanto - while Terra?s rainbow banner rippled over your head.
The language has been of no great importance, provided that it has been a language of the E a r t h??
"The Green Hills of Earth" by Robert Heinlein
Low expectations are often a self-fulfilling prophecy. High expectations, on the other hand, will inevitably lead to disappoint- ment. Thus Metis Global Awareness Network contributes with no expectations but intense effort & concrete proposals for a positive outcome of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development at Rio de Janeiro, 4-6 June 2012, or Rio+20, or Earth Summit, last chance in the world to tackle with climate change, sustainable development and Institutional framework. One would anxiously wait to see the acceptance of what Humanity would get in return.
Half a century of uncontrolled financial & population growth has caused unequivocal anthropogenic character climate change. The planet needs at least 50 years to recover to normal if no more negative factors make the situation worse. Earth Summit?s agreement has thus to include, among others:
1. Institutional framework based on, at least, three principles.
2. Time scarcity unanimous consensus based on scientific data defining time frame for re-engineering.
3. Global Social Contract on a Green Economy in the context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication with SHORT term, midterm & long term sustainable development scenarios. Minimum prerequisite: Ensure the Short term scenario imple- mentation focusing on time scarcity.
4. Population growth voluntary control enhanced by strong concrete incentives.
5. Sustainable urbanization in a framework of new green cities.
6. Global Awareness campaign to motivate the general audience towards sustainability.
1. A ?ready-to-operate? Institutional framework for sustainable development based on?
a. the realistic principle? Global problems require global solutions;
b. the down to? earth one: All six parameters (people, time, planet, money, ideas & material reality) have to be taken - at last, into documented consideration;
c. and the last but not least cynical one? What governments and mostly markets have to realize is that there is as much money to be made out of the wreckage of a civilization as from the up-building of one.
2. Time scarcity
Among the few entities in the world involved in climate change crisis struggle providing strategic support to all three pillars of Sustainability: Education, law & policy formation & climate movement
Crucial psychological / mental barrier concerning climate change is average human lifespan. Every negative prediction below this number is confronted by suspiciousness and denial; all negative predictions beyond this number are faced by indifference or SEP. ?It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.? Al Gore, 2/27/10
3. A Global Social Contract on a Green Economy in the context of Sustainable Development and poverty eradication with SHORT term, midterm and long term sustainable development scenarios. Contract?s sine-qua-non prerequisites should be: a. Time scarcity. b. Negative stances? neutralization by creating win-win situations (who doesn?t want a solution & why - what is needed to agree). c. Population growth control (how-to-do it incentives). d. Food and fuel prices control (how-to-do rules). e. Short term su- stainability scenario (what-to-do). Agreement?s implementation degree will prove - or NOT, Humanity?s maturity level directly linked to salvation probability. Global Public Policy Networks could be very effective specific cooperation mechanisms for implementation of agreed goals. A ?new? actor in the stage of world affairs. A non-state entity in that they are not states, and not necessarily incorporated in the legal sense, they may take on an international role, even without the formal status of an international or multilateral organization/institution. These networks are comprised by various actors from civil society, governments, government agencies, industry, industry groups, and perhaps multilateral organizations/institutions. Their activi- ties cover the range of steps in the policy process, beyond to policy proposals or lobbying, including agenda setting, policy formulation, negotiation, rule making, coordination, implementation, and evaluation. Their expertise can often play an important role in global debates and norm establishment. Beyond Multilateralism: Global Public Policy Networks, The role of Global Public Policy Networks in supporting global Institutions.
Global Social Contract (GSC) relevant actors are considered to be ALL; (official) social stakeholders and (unofficial) dominant players. What is expected by each part according to expertise and capabilities:
UN SYSTEM: credibility; the GSC under the auspices of UN.
WESTERN WORLD & BRICS LEADERSHIP: compromise on sustainable development goals and commitments;
NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS: agree to share a percentage of local responsibilities with global entities; generate policies for a non- taxable percentage on annual companies budget once spent for sustainable development investments and substantial Corporate Social Responsibility programs.
IFF: develop feasible global plans; locate and re-allocate resources.
SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS: provide maximum possible RELIABLE data; make practical steps to integrate major scientific achieve- ments of 20th c. into development plans - it?s about time; IPCC Fourth Assessment Report has been a very good start mainly on global warming unequivocal anthropogenic nature. However many issues have remained open to documentation due to their unprecedented global size e.g. sea levels rise, etc. Ambiguity on these issues opens the way to skeptics & denials? speculative strategy.
OLD & NEW RELIGIONS: cooperate for the common interest.
CIVIL SOCIETY: more concrete proposals; green voluntary activity to turn into Third Sector business activity.
TRADITIONAL MEDIA, SOCIAL NETWORKING and ADVERTISING COMPANIES: ?spread the word? with no ambiguity policies. WEB, PROGRAMMERS, and TELECOMMUNICATIONS BIG PLAYERS: offer the open big field & hi-tech networking. INTELLECTUALS & ARTISTS, SHOW BIZ, SPORT and LIFESTYLE personalities: active social participation.
Among the few entities in the world involved in climate change crisis struggle providing strategic support to all three pillars of Sustainability: Education, law & policy formation & climate movement
TRADITIONAL and MODERN energy producers - and the rest of the MARKET - based on the principle ?yesterday?s competitor is to- morrow?s ally?, agree on emerging market shares and play an institutional role in the global game to SAVE THE CLIENT.
Emerging SUSTAINABLE FREE MARKET has to accept support to traditional energy demanding in return its own vital space and support by incentives.
GENERAL PUBLIC: responsible demand from all the above parties to implement each one?s agreed contribution.
4. Global Population growth voluntary control enhanced by strong concrete incentives.
The biggest issue confronting the planet is the collective demand we put upon it. And the difference in impact between popula tion growth in Third World countries, which are poor, against that in the Western world, where it consumes and wastes so much more is enormous. Anyway the global rate of human population growth peaked around 1963, but the number of people living on Earth - and sharing finite resources like water and food - has grown by more than two-thirds since then, topping out at 7 billion today. This has definitely to stop. It has to be done, firstly, voluntarily; second, its promotion has to be done offering various strong incentives in content and form considering the issue strong cultural features. However, IT HAS TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE DEAL, otherwise all other policies will INEVITABLY fail.
5. Sustainable urbanization
Traditional cities about to exponentially grow with no control consist one of the most crucial pollution factors. There is NO way to sustainable urbanization concerning contemporary cities, the same way an old car cannot become new. Unique sustainable solution is NEW GREEN CITIES BUILDING FROM SCRATCH in a near-by location. Positive side effects: ECONOMIES OF SCALE; Revitalization of construction field, still among the core elements of development; Unemployment decrease; Integration of tele-working in the new building design. A return-to-homeland program supported by strong incentives for old cities residents.
6. Global Awareness campaign
Humanity has to believe in what experts already know.
A Global Awareness campaign, based on ?win-win? criteria amongst ALL, official and unofficial social, stakeholders and dominant players, to be launched on core terms like ?Sustainable development & Employment - Sustainability Science?, ?Climate change crisis
- Climate Change Science,?, ?Green Economy?, ?Population Growth?, ?Civilization-as-usual continuity?, ?Production & consumption voluntary simplicity? etc. Its implementation will be the result of ALL parts? cooperation each one offering according to expertise and capabilities?:
UN SYSTEM: credibility.
NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS: loose regulation and ?green light?. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL & SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS: reliable data. RELIGIONS: genuine blessings.
CIVIL SOCIETY: proposals & good-will; accreditation: ?green dexterities? to become an additional vocational asset like ?IT dexterities.
TRADITIONAL MEDIA, SOCIAL NETWORKING and ADVERTISING COMPANIES: public opinion support expertise and free ?air time? /
space based on a well balanced percentage of paid and CSR adds.
INTELLECTUALS & ARTISTS, SHOW BIZ, SPORT and LIFESTYLE personalities: engagement to become Sustainability Ambassadors etc.
TRADITIONAL fossil fuel and MODERN energy producers - and the rest of the MARKET: funding campaign via CSR initiatives and supporting with incentives, within the framework of an agreement among themselves and governments on each one contribution concerning clean energy production share.
GENERAL PUBLIC: further dissemination of content, based on informed consent.
DENIALS / SKEPTICS? ACTIVITY WITH NO RELEVANT STRONG DOCUMENTATION has to be included in the campaign on how similar activities are to be confronted on international legal scale officially. Skeptics do represent a picturesque situation NO MORE. They represent a t-h-r-e-a-t, 1. International community has to develop a new strategy against the phenomenon as a whole. Public admi- nistration, governments, and international entities have to be persuaded to deal with it in the most formal way. Contemporary cli- mate change denial/skepticism with no scientific documentation has many common points with ?spreading false news during war?. Relevant actions to influence population morale are characterized ?high treason?. ?Crimes against Science & Humanity? is another relevant area since such an activity is against the planet and Humanity living on it. There must be a camp aign to the highest level and legal steps have to be taken to pass an international law against it. In case one could prove two entities or individuals had pre- vious communication and agreement of relevant actions (news circulation, publications, declarations, etc) ?conspiracy? is another legal domain; Last but not least, violation and/or undermining of constitutional environmental rights is the overall legal umbrella.
Global Awareness campaign primary targets:
o Public awareness on core terms, e.g. ?Sustainable development & Employment - Sustainability Science?, ?Climate change crisis
- Climate Change Science,?, ?Green Economy?, ?Population Growth?, ?Civilization-as-usual continuity?, ?Production & consum- ption voluntary simplicity? etc.
o Population growth control incentives.
o Warning on legal Denial confrontation.
Global Awareness campaign secondary targets:
o Environmental Education from student-oriented item to turn to Lifelong Learning initiative.
o Sustainability Intensive Training for the Market (from multinational corporations? CEOs to producers and from new business- men to consumers) to become an introductory module to all training items.
o Public access to information clearing houses development on international / regional / national / local / personal scale.
o Public active / creative participation on international / regional / national / local / personal level.
o International cooperation infrastructure based on win-win flexible frameworks, e.g. Global Public Policy Networks.

By December 1963, England had enjoyed nearly a year of Beatlemania. The Fab Four – George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr – had sold millions of records for EMI's Parlophone imprint. The group's first single, "Love Me Do"/"P.S. I Love You," briefly dented the U.K. Top 20 in October 1962, but their next 45, "Please Please Me," formally ignited Beatlemania in their homeland, reaching the Number Two spot.
It was followed in 1963 by three consecutive chart-topping British singles: "From Me to You" "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand." They conquered the U.K., even inducing a classical music critic from the Sunday Times to declare them "the greatest composers since Beethoven." Moreover, they were the greatest rockers since the composer of "Roll Over Beethoven" – Chuck Berry.
Still, success in America remained elusive for manager Brian Epstein and his young charges, as Capitol – EMI's American label – refused to release the Beatles' first four British singles, one label executive noting, "We don't think the Beatles will do anything in this market." Everything would change with "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
Written by Lennon and McCartney, and recorded in October 1963, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" found the songwriting duo trying to capture an American gospel sound. Hoping the track's attempt at stateside aesthetics may persuade Capitol to rethink its position on the Beatles, Epstein met with the label's director of eastern operations, Brown Meggs, in early November 1963 in New York, armed with a demo version of the song. The result of the meeting was a scheduled American release date of January 13, 1964 for "I Want to Hold Your Hand." That same trip to New York included a meeting with a popular American tastemaker who'd experienced Beatlemania firsthand during a talent-scouting trip to England: Ed Sullivan. Epstein left New York with a signed deal to put the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show for two consecutive live telecasts on February 9 and 16.
In Britain, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" saw its official release on December 5, 1963, reaching Number One the following week. It held the position for five weeks. Soon thereafter, American DJs began spinning the import single and the immediate, positive response prompted Capitol to not only bump up the release date to December 26, but also increase the press run from 200,000 copies to one million. A media blitz followed, as reporters from the Associated Press, CBS, Life, New York Times and more were assigned to cover the Beatles. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" reached Number One on the Billboard charts on February 1, 1964, and remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks.
After boarding a Pan Am flight traveling from London's Heathrow Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, the Beatles landed on American shores on February 7, 1964. They literally stood the world of pop culture on its head, setting the musical agenda for the remainder of the decade. With a Number One single in America, the twenty-somethings arrived to find more than 3,000 screaming fans waiting for them.
The Beatles' buoyant melodies, playful personalities and mop-topped charisma were just the tonic needed by a nation left reeling by the senseless assassination of its young president, John F. Kennedy, two months earlier. Even adults typically given to dismissing rock and roll conceded that there was substance in their music and cleverness in their quick-witted repartee. Between the lines, and without obvious disrespect, the Beatles announced the ascendancy of youth – and the inevitable coming of a generation gap as a result.

No. 4 Heavyweight Seek Childs Cup 135 Years After Initial Schuylkill Race
National Poll l Childs Cup History
TWITTER: @TigerHeavies l @PUTigers
Last weekend, the Princeton heavyweights faced off against Navy in the continuation of a series that began 101 years earlier. The Navy-Princeton Rowing Cup is a historic trophy with a proud tradition.
And when both the rivalry and the Cup were first introduced, the Childs Cup was already historic.
Only ten years after Princeton and Rutgers played the first intercollegiate football game, Princeton raced both Penn and Columbia on the Schuylkill River for this new trophy called the Childs Cup. Even the inscription gives you a sense of its history, as Princeton is referred to as "The College of New Jersey of Princeton."
On that day in 1879, Princeton finished third. The Tigers will return to the Schuylkill River 135 years later with a much better finish in mind.
Winners of the Childs Cup in 19 of the last 20 years, the fourth-ranked Princeton heavyweights will look to build on their perfect season when they head to Philadelphia to open their 2014 Ivy League schedule. The Tigers come into the weekend off a narrow win over Navy, who actually moved up four spots in the national poll after that race.
While the Tigers, who lead the overall series with 46 wins, have been the dominant program in this rivalry recently, the races have often been close. Last season, Princeton topped host Columbia by less than three seconds.
This year's host certainly has even higher aspirations. Penn, ranked ninth in latest US Rowing poll, had one of the most dramatic results of the early Eastern racing season with an upset of Northeastern two weeks ago. The Huskies were ranked second nationally at the time, and were coming off a bronze medal performance at Sprints last season.
Columbia is 2-0 on the season, its first under new head coach Scott Alwin. It will be an ironic first heavyweight meeting between Alwin and Prince-ton heavyweight head coach Greg Hughes, who worked together with Tiger lightweights. Alwin took the Columbia lightweight head job following the 2006 season, and he faced his former boss three times before Hughes took over the heavyweights.
On Saturday, they will meet again in a rivalry that began more than 100 years before either were born.
