Drummer from the band Rush. Known for his innovative use of unusual time signatures, steely countenance, extremely intelligent lyrics, and overall awesomeness. He is the greatest living drummer.
Neil Peart freakin rocks, I'm glad that first drummer left Rush so that, along with Mr. Peart, they could become one of the greatest bands that ever existed.

Spanish for "picketer", the term has come to refer in English mainly to the Argentine unemployed workers' movement who have spearheaded repeated waves of protest involving blocking and barricading roads. The term is now sometimes used for those who use similar tactics, even in non-Spanish-speaking countries.
The piqueteros responded to the IMF visit by blocking roads across the capital and marching on the central bank building, where they clashed with police.

Planet on the edge of Old/New Republic/Empire space, on the far edge of the Outer Rim (Star Wars expanded universe). First planet targeted by the Ssi-Ruuk aliens for colonisation and entechment. Ruled by Imperial Governor Nereus and later by Gaeriel Captison. Saved by a coalition of imperial and rebel forces.
The planet is a major manufacturer of repulsorlifts. Droids are almost unknown, and the local religion, the Balance, is hostile to Jedi.
Ruled officially by a planetary senate but in fact by the governor during the imperial period. Planetary defences are run by Petr Thanas, who was sent there as a punishment for refusing to massacre insurgents at a slave mine. After the fall of the governor, it is ruled by the senate and is affiliated to the New Republic.
