The charges, which come after a more than year-long investigation, were filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis.

Hours after the president bowed before television cameras on Tuesday, two of his former aides were arrested on bribery charges, joining a growing list of Mr. Lee’s acquaintances who have been jailed on suspicion of corruption.

Entertainment - Music of the Spheres

Kirsten Dunst in "Music of the Spheres"

"Music of the Spheres" is an episode of The Outer Limits. It first aired on 9 May 1997, during the third season. When you watch this, you will see a young Kirsten Dunst and Joshua Jackson. Howard Hessemen, Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati, has a co-starring role.

This episode is about young people being affected by "music" that comes from Sirius. It's fun to watch because, in many ways, the story is similar to what humanity is going through right now.

As I was looking for this video, I learned that the phrase, "Music of the Spheres" has many meanings and is commonly used amongst those in the Spiritual Community. If you look up this phrase online, you will find many websites that refer to it in some way.
