Last year, it was discovered that the FBI had attempted to infiltrate the legal defense team of a Guantanamo Bay prisoner. The defendant is charged, along with four others including Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM), of conspiring to commit the 9/11 attacks. As a result, the military trial was moved out for approximately one year to allow for an investigation into the FBI's offense. Recently, Al-Jazeera reported that the trial has been moved out yet again because the Department of Justice team leading the investigation (of its own bureau) needs more time to complete its secret report. These delays highlight the absurdity of the case against these men and the contemptible abuse of justice that the military trial represents.
Apparently, it has been difficult for the Justice Department to explain why the FBI approached a member of defendant Ramzi bin al-Shibh's legal team to "create a relationship with him that he was forbidden from disclosing." That explanation became more difficult when it was learned that another member of Bin al-Shibh's defense team had been cooperating with the FBI since late 2013.
The FBI infiltration of the Bin Al-Shibh defense team is just the tip of this anti-justice iceberg, however. In February, it was revealed that a translator assigned to help defend the accused was a CIA operative. That's one way to ensure that the official account of 9/11, created entirely through torture testimony and secret evidence provided by the CIA… Continue reading

Any serious student of history is on alert for "interesting accidents." Because sometimes they are accidents. Sometimes, they're not.
We have no opinion at the moment on the one-car-wreck that left former FBI director Louis Freeh badly injured around noon on August 25, other than to note some curious facts: the police were hours late informing the office of the governor of Vermont; Freeh was flown by helicopter to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital in New Hampshire under armed guard, and has remained under armed guard; the hospital has refused to confirm that he is a patient, even after reports of two surgeries; at least for the first few days no one has answered the phones at his company, Freeh Group International.
From news reports available at press time, Freeh
was headed south on Vermont 12 in his 2010 GMC Yukon when he drove off the east side of the road. The vehicle struck a mailbox and a row of shrubs, then came to rest against the side of a tree, police said…
Louis Freeh epitomizes the risks attendant in a president's decision to demonstrate bipartisanship by appointing or re-appointing figures associated with the opposing political party and/or prior regime. He also embodies the troubled legacy of the Bureau from its earliest days. (For a look at how the U.S. media cooperated with the Bureau to misleadingly burnish its image, see this)… Continue reading

During a 2011 investigation, reporters Andrew Becker and G.W. Schulz discovered that, since 9/11, police departments watching over some of the safest places in America have used $34 billion in grant funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to militarize in the name of counterterrorism.
Jason Westcott was afraid.
One night last fall, he discovered via Facebook that a friend of a friend was planning with some co-conspirators to break in to his home. They were intent on stealing Wescott's handgun and a couple of TV sets. According to the Facebook message, the suspect was planning on "burning" Westcott, who promptly called the Tampa Bay police and reported the plot.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, the investigating officers responding to Westcott's call had a simple message for him: "If anyone breaks into this house, grab your gun and shoot to kill."
Around 7:30 pm on May 27th, the intruders arrived. Westcott followed the officers' advice, grabbed his gun to defend his home, and died pointing it at the intruders. They used a semiautomatic shotgun and handgun to shoot down the 29-year-old motorcycle mechanic. He was hit three times, once in the arm and twice in his side, and pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The intruders, however, weren't small-time crooks looking to make a small… Continue reading

The New York Times reporter James Risen, who faces jail over his refusal to reveal a source and testify against a former CIA agent accused of leaking secrets, has called President Barack Obama "the greatest enemy of press freedom in a generation".
Speaking to his colleague Maureen Dowd, Risen accused the president of aggressively pursuing journalists, including himself, who report sensitive stories that reflect poorly on the US government.
Risen faces jail over his reporting of a botched intelligence operation that ended up spilling nuclear secrets to Iran. The Justice Department has long been seeking to force him to testify and name the confidential source of the account, which is contained in his 2006 book State of War.
Risen recently failed in an attempt to have the supreme court review an order for him to testify, and acknowledges that he has exhausted all his legal options against the Justice Department's pursuit of him under the controversial Espionage Act. In the face of incarceration that could come as early as this autumn, he is resorting instead to journalistic defiance.
Risen would be the first journalist to go to prison for failing to divulge sources since 2005, when the former New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed for contempt of court, after refusing to testify about a… Continue reading

The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, issued an extraordinary apology to leaders of the US Senate intelligence committee on Thursday, conceding that the agency employees spied on committee staff and reversing months of furious and public denials.
Brennan acknowledged that an internal investigation had found agency security personnel transgressed a firewall set up on a CIA network, which allowed Senate committee investigators to review agency documents for their landmark inquiry into CIA torture.
Among other things, it was revealed that agency officials conducted keyword searches and email searches on committee staff while they used the network.
The admission brings Brennan's already rocky tenure at the head of the CIA under renewed question. One senator on the panel said he had lost confidence in the director, although the White House indicated its support for a man who has been one of Barack Obama's most trusted security aides.
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd acknowledged that agency staff had improperly monitored the computers of committee staff members, who were using a network the agency had set up, called RDINet. "Some CIA employees acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding reached between [the committee] and the CIA in 2009 regarding access to the RDINet," he said.
Asked if Brennan had or would offer his resignation, a different CIA spokesman, Ryan Trapani, replied: "No."
In March, the committee chairwoman, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, accused the agency of violating… Continue reading

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has been quietly advising local police not to disclose details about surveillance technology they are using to sweep up basic cellphone data from entire neighborhoods, The Associated Press has learned.
Citing security reasons, the U.S. has intervened in routine state public records cases and criminal trials regarding use of the technology. This has resulted in police departments withholding materials or heavily censoring documents in rare instances when they disclose any about the purchase and use of such powerful surveillance equipment.
Federal involvement in local open records proceedings is unusual. It comes at a time when President Barack Obama has said he welcomes a debate on government surveillance and called for more transparency about spying in the wake of disclosures about classified federal surveillance programs.
One well-known type of this surveillance equipment is known as a Stingray, an innovative way for law enforcement to track cellphones used by suspects and gather evidence. The equipment tricks cellphones into identifying some of their owners' account information, like a unique subscriber number, and transmitting data to police as if it were a phone company's tower. That allows police to obtain cellphone information without having to ask for help from service providers, such as Verizon or AT&T, and can locate a phone without the user even making a call or sending a text message.
But without more details about how the technology works and under what circumstances… Continue reading

When the FBI investigated a Saudi Arabian family that abruptly left Sarasota weeks before the 9/11 terror attacks, it found "many connections between the (redacted) family and individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01."
The description, included in documents released Friday as part of a federal lawsuit against the agency, comes as the FBI is working to comply with a federal judge's order to produce 27 boxes of materials.
To date, the agency said it has moved the boxes to the U.S. Attorney's office in South Florida, and spent many hours trying to delineate for U.S. District Court Judge William Zloch which documents are top secret by inserting 822 page markers into the boxes.
The agency also explained an earlier discrepancy that resulted in four additional boxes of documents. David M. Hardy, the FBI's section chief in charge of records management, said the agency used a smaller box size to comply with the order. That and the marker pages resulted in more boxes overall.
"An 80,266 page file was received from Tampa, and the 80,266 page file was produced," Hardy wrote.
The FBI also shipped a CD… Continue reading
The Colorado Democratic Party (CDP) is the only Democratic party in the U.S., so far, that has a plank within its platform that calls for a new 9/11 investigation. This plank (or a similar one) has been included in the platform since 2008.
Rumor has it, however, that some of the 2014 CDP Platform Committee members want to remove it, believing that claims by 9/11 skeptics have been answered. Therefore, this document was written to inform these platform committee members that our claims have not been answered, and furthermore, President Obama's call for an "Open and Transparent Government" has been thoroughly unfulfilled regarding the events of September 11, 2001.
This document is part of a letter to the CDP Platform Committee members. It is far from complete, but it gives ample examples of how we have not had transparency regarding September 11, 2001.
We hope it will be useful to you.

Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean concealed from the staff of the 9/11 Commission the fact that Philip Zelikow, the Commission's executive director, had written a detailed outline of the Commission's final report, complete with "chapter headings, subheadings, and sub-subheadings," before the staff had its first meeting.

If the Bush Administration lied to justify waging a war against Iraq, what truths still lie buried beneath the official explanation for what happened on September 11 2001?
Before discussion about 9/11 was squeezed—in a pincer movement worthy of Hitler's Panzer divisions—between the so-called "official story" and the subsequent campaign of disinformation that gave conspiracy a bad name, there were some promising avenues of investigation where definitive answers might still be possible.
Here are a few that remain at the top of my list. There are many others.
On the 12th anniversary of the Sept 11 attack there has still been no official investigation into the murders of almost 3000 people that day. The Joint Congressional Intelligence Committee investigation, which met in secret, delivered a report famously containing 28 blank pages.
And anyone looking to the 9/11 Commission for answers had already been disillusioned, even before they issued "findings," because they were charged only with identifying what might have been done differently to prevent a future attack.
The FBI's ballyhooed 4000-man "largest investigation in history" lasted just a little more than three weeks, until someone—we still don't know who—mailed letters sprinkled with anthrax, changing the focus of the FBI investigation.
Days later, in an order describing the investigation of the terrorist hijackings as "the most exhaustive in its history," FBI Agents were ordered to curtail their investigation of the Sept. 11 attack. Officials said Robert Mueller, newly-sworn in… Continue reading

The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 29, No. 1, July 29, 2013
For almost two centuries American government, though always imperfect, was also a model for the world of limited government, having evolved a system of restraints on executive power through its constitutional arrangement of checks and balances.
Since 9/11 however, constitutional practices have been overshadowed by a series of emergency measures to fight terrorism. The latter have mushroomed in size, reach and budget, while traditional government has shrunk. As a result we have today what the journalist Dana Priest has called two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.1
More and more, it is becoming common to say that America, like Turkey before it, now has what Marc Ambinder and John Tirman have called a deep state behind the public one.2 And this parallel government is guided in surveillance matters by its own Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, which according to the New York Times, "has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court."3 Thanks largely to Edward Snowden, it is now clear that the FISA Court has permitted this deep state to expand surveillance beyond the tiny number of known and suspected Islamic terrorists, to any incipient protest movement that might challenge the policies of the American war machine.…Continue reading

A whistleblower has revealed extraordinary information on the U.S. government's support for international terrorist networks and organised crime. The government has denied the allegations yet gone to extraordinary lengths to silence her. Her critics have derided her as a fabulist and fabricator. But now comes word that some of her most serious allegations were confirmed by a major European newspaper only to be squashed at the request of the U.S. government.
In a recent book Classified Woman, Sibel Edmonds, a former translator for the FBI, describes how the Pentagon, CIA and State Department maintained intimate ties to al-Qaeda militants as late as 2001. Her memoir, Classified Woman: The Sibel Edmonds Story, published last year, charged senior government officials with negligence, corruption and collaboration with al Qaeda in illegal arms smuggling and drugs trafficking in Central Asia.
In interviews with this author in early March, Edmonds claimed that Ayman al-Zawahiri, current head of al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden's deputy at the time, had innumerable, regular meetings at the U.S. embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, with U.S. military and intelligence officials between 1997 and 2001, as part of an operation known as 'Gladio B'. Al-Zawahiri, she charged, as well as various members of the bin Laden family and other mujahideen, were transported on NATO planes to various parts of Central Asia and the Balkans to participate in Pentagon-backed destabilisation operations.
According to two Sunday Times journalists speaking on condition of anonymity, this and related revelations had… Continue reading
Preface: This is not a partisan post. We have repeatedly documented that Obama is as bad or worse than the Bush administration.
In the run up to the Iraq war – and for several years thereafter – the program of torture carried out by the Bush administration was specifically specifically aimed at establishing a false justification for war. Dick Cheney is the guy who pushed for torture, pressured the Justice Department lawyers to write memos saying torture was legal, and made the pitch to Congress justifying torture. (The former director of the CIA said Cheney oversaw American torture policies).
The type of torture used by the U.S. on the Guantanamo suspects is of a special type. Senator Levin revealed that the the U.S. used Communist torture techniques specifically aimed at creating false confessions (see this, this, this and this).
According to NBC News:
In fact, the 9/11 Commission Report was largely based on third-hand… Continue reading

When a former senior White House official describes a nationwide surveillance effort as "breathtaking," you know civil liberties activists are preparing for a fight.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that the little-known National Counterterrorism Center, based in an unmarked building in McLean, Va., has been granted sweeping new authority to store and monitor massive datasets about innocent Americans.
After internal wrangling over privacy and civil liberties issues, the Justice Department reportedly signed off on controversial new guidelines earlier this year. The guidelines allow the NCTC, for the first time, to keep data about innocent U.S. citizens for up to five years, using "predictive pattern-matching," to analyze it for suspicious patterns of behavior. The data the counterterrorism center has access to, according to the Journal, includes "entire government databases—flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and many others."
Notably, the Journal reports that these changes also allow databases about U.S. civilians to be handed over to foreign governments for analysis, presumably so that they too can attempt to determine future criminal actions. The Department of Homeland Security's former chief privacy officer said that it represents a "sea change in the way that the government interacts with the general public."
The snooping effort, which officials say is subject to "rigorous oversight," is reminiscent of the so-called Total Information Awareness initiative, dreamt up in the aftermath of 9/11 by the Pentagon's research unit DARPA. The aim of the TIA initiative was essentially to create… Continue reading

In the summer of 2001, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Robert Wright, a counterterrorism expert from the Chicago office, made some startling claims about the Bureau in a written statement outlining the difficulties he had doing his job. Three months before 9/11, he wrote: "The FBI has proven for the past decade it cannot identify and prevent acts of terrorism against the United States and its citizens at home and abroad. Even worse, there is virtually no effort on the part of the FBI's International Terrorism Unit to neutralize known and suspected terrorists residing within the United States."[1]
Revelations since 9/11 have confirmed Wright's claims. FBI management did little or nothing to stop terrorism in the decade before 9/11 and, in some cases, appeared to have supported terrorists. This is more disturbing considering that the power of the FBI over terrorism investigations was supreme. In 1998, the FBI's strategic plan stated that terrorist activities fell "almost exclusively within the jurisdiction of the FBI" and that "the FBI has no higher priority than to combat terrorism."[2]
A number of people are suspect in these failures, including the leaders of the FBI's counterterrorism programs. But at the time of Wright's written complaint, which was not shared with the public until May 2002, the man most responsible was Louis Freeh, Director of the FBI from 1993 to 2001.
Agent Wright was not FBI leadership's only detractor, and not the only one to criticize Freeh.…Continue reading
Abu Zubaydah, a man once called al-Qaeda's "chief of operations" appears to be at the center of an unraveling of the official myth behind al Qaeda. After his capture in early 2002, Zubaydah was the first "detainee" known to be tortured. The information allegedly obtained from his torture played a large part in the creation of the official account of 9/11 and in the justification for the continued use of such torture techniques. Yet in September, 2009, the U.S. government admitted that Zubaydah was never a member or associate of al Qaeda at all. These facts raise an alarming number of questions about the veracity of our knowledge about al Qaeda, and the true identity of the people who are said to be behind the 9/11 attacks.
Unlike other alleged al Qaeda leaders, including Khlaid Sheik Mohammed and Rasmi bin Alshibh, Zubaydah has never been charged with a crime. As these other leading suspects await their continually-postponed military trial, Zubaydah is instead being airbrushed out of history. Why would the U.S. government want us to forget Zubaydah, the first and most important al Qaeda operative captured after 9/11?
The 9/11 Commission called Zubaydah an "Al Qaeda associate," a "long-time ally of Bin Ladin," a "Bin Ladin lieutenant," and an "al Qaeda lieutenant."[1] The Commission's claims were somewhat contradictory in that Zubaydah was, in the Commission's report, represented as both an al Qaeda leader and simply a terrorist colleague who collaborated in the training and recruiting… Continue reading

WASHINGTON — For more than a decade, questions have lingered about the possible role of the Saudi government in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, even as the royal kingdom has made itself a crucial counterterrorism partner in the eyes of American diplomats.
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis' activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.
"I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia," former Senator Bob Graham, Democrat of Florida, said in an affidavit filed as part of a lawsuit brought against the Saudi government and dozens of institutions in the country by families of Sept. 11 victims and others. Mr. Graham led a joint 2002 Congressional inquiry into the attacks.
His former Senate colleague, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, a Democrat who served on the separate 9/11 Commission, said in a sworn affidavit of his own in the case that "significant questions remain unanswered" about the role of Saudi institutions. "Evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks has never been fully pursued," Mr. Kerrey said.
Their affidavits, which were filed on Friday and have not previously been disclosed, are part of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit… Continue reading

In a ferocious legal battle pitting government lawyers against victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, the Justice Department is fighting to block thousands of individuals and businesses from taking $6.6 million in frozen al-Qaeda assets seized from an alleged terrorism financier.
Frozen by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2007, the money is sought by the attorneys for 6,000 individual victims and insurers who suffered billions in losses from the attacks on the World Trade Center.
The money, in a Chicago brokerage account controlled by senior al-Qaeda operative Abu al-Tayyeb until his arrest in Saudi Arabia in 2006, drew little public notice until lawyers for 9/11 victims moved in June to collect on a 2007 default judgment.
A short time later, the Justice Department initiated legal proceedings to claim the money for itself – and keep it out of the hands of the 9/11 victims and insurers.
That triggered a fierce response from the victims' lawyers, among them the Center City law firm Cozen O'Connor, who accuse the Justice Department of duplicity in seeking to prevent them from getting access to… Continue reading

A&M-Kingsville AD to step down
Willson to carry on work with NCAA through her firm
Fifteen years after she first stepped onto the Texas A&M-Kingsville campus, Jill Willson is leaving the university for the NCAA.
The Javelinas' former women's basketball coach and athletics director since 2002 will resign effective May 15. She will work with the NCAA through her firm of Double L Consulting, which she said will assist Division III and NAIA schools in their transitions to the Division II level.
"Personally, I think it's a great opportunity for me," Willson said Thursday. "I'm 40 years old and I guess if I'm going to change jobs this is a great time for me to do that."
Randy Hughes, A&M-Kingsville's senior associate vice president for institutional advancement, said a national search for Willson's replacement will begin "as soon as we can." He added that no details have been finalized about who may serve as an interim AD after Willson's departure.
"Jill is a top-notch individual. It's just going to be hard to replace her," Hughes said. "She's done a great job with the Kingsville community and the athletic department. But she has an offer that I don't blame her for considering. It's a positive step for her."
Willson has ties to the NCAA, as she chaired the Division II Management Council, of which she has been a member since 2003. She also has served on the South Central Regional Women's Basketball Committee, the NCAA Woman of the Year Selection Committee and the NCAA Nominating Committee.
"When she was president of the Management Council this past year, they also realized how good she was," Hughes said. "So understand them, I mean, they want good folks, too."
A&M-Kingsville president Rumaldo Juarez praised Willson's commitment to the university and the community and her work as the AD and as the Javs' women's basketball coach.
"As befitting the coach who led the Javelina women's basketball team to the Lone Star Conference championship, Jill Willson is a champion leader," Juarez said. "I am selfish in that I wish she were staying at Texas A&M-Kingsville, and have in fact tried some counter offers in hopes that she changes her mind about leaving. I am still hoping for a miracle that she changes her mind. If she doesn't, I will always be very proud to call her my friend and let her know that she will be greatly missed."
In Willson's five years as AD, the Javelinas generally have had success throughout the program. The women's basketball team had its best season in school history, reaching the Division Elite Eight tournament, and the football team won three Lone Star Conference titles and advanced to the Division II semifinals twice. The men's basketball team has reached the LSC postseason tournament in seven of the past nine years, the softball team reached the regionals twice, the baseball team won the 2004 LSC title and track and field athletes have earned 75 All-American honors entering this season.
"I don't take credit for semifinals in football, or the regionals in softball, the teams' success, the Elite Eight," Willson said. "Certainly I love all of those things for the university. But that's not my job. My job is to make sure that the Kingsville community knows we have a great product and I'm proud of what we've done."
In addition, this year alone, the university erected a $650,000 Jumbotron screen at Javelina Stadium, received a $2 million gift for the athletic department, purchased a new 36-passenger bus and is primed to begin $330,000 worth of renovations to the stadium.
"I'm not sure that every Division II AD in the country can say that and I'm very proud of what we've done at A&M-Kingsville," Willson said. "I think we've accomplished some great things here but certainly I'm not going to be able tell you exactly how many championships we've had in each sport. But I do know our kids are active in the community and they do very well on the field."
Reaction to Willson's impending departure was predictably sad.
"Her outgoing personality was a perfect fit for this community and this university. She always made people welcome, part of the family from the first time she met you," men's basketball coach Pete Peterson said. "It didn't matter who you were or where you came from. She will be sorely missed. She was on the search committee that brought me to Kingsville so I have a special place in my heart for her."
"She was one of the big reasons I came to Texas A&M-Kingsville," said Javs football coach Keith Baxter, who was hired on Dec. 7. "She works tirelessly in supporting our student-athletes, she lets coaches do their jobs and she works constantly to support and help our programs reach their potential."
"She lives for giving back to the community," said ex-Javs football player D.R. Coleman, the president of the A&M-Kingsville Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. "It's been great to have an athletics director that is so involved with you and gives you the support that you need. She has been such a positive influence.
"If I've learned one thing from her it is that you have to remember where you come from and no matter who you are, you need to give back. Kingsville has supported the university for so many years and we've learned to give back to Kingsville."
Willson is the winningest coach in the women's basketball school history, posting a 114-99 mark from 1992-2000. A&M-Kingsville won its lone LSC title under Willson in 2000, advancing to the NCAA tournament.
The Floydada native said she will most miss the interaction with the athletes and the former athletes who have paid her visits.
"I think that's something I'm going to struggle with initially, how to have those kinds of relationships for so many years," Willson said. "Fifteen years of bleeding blue and gold Javelina, I'm not going to get over that any time soon. I absolutely love everything about this university."
Next step
A national search for Jill Willson's replacement will begin "as soon as we can," according to Randy Hughes, Texas A&M-Kingsville's senior associate
vice president for institutional advancement.

Perry County is a county located in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Indiana. As of 2010, the population was 19,338.[1] The county seat is Tell City.[2] It is the hilliest county as well as one of the most forested counties of in Indiana as it features more than 60,000 acres (240 km2) of Hoosier National Forest. The Ohio River Scenic Byway along Indiana State Road 66 runs along the southern border of the county while Interstate 64 traverses the northern portion of the county. Connecting the two is Indiana State Road 37. [1]
The county features three incorporated communities: Tell City (2009 population 7,473), Cannelton (2009 population 1,130) and Troy (2009 population 379). Each is located in Troy Township which is situated along the south western corner of the county.
Coordinated efforts with County officials led to the acquisition of an abandoned rail line that has since been reactivated as the County-owned Hoosier Southern Rail Road. Managed by the Perry County Port Authority, the 22-mile (35 km) short-line rail road connects the Perry County River Port with the Norfolk Southern Rail Road.

Average monthly precipitation ranged from 2.98 inches (76 mm) in October to 5.22 inches (133 mm) in May.[3]
The county government is a constitutional body, and is granted specific powers by the Constitution of Indiana, and by the Indiana Code.
County Council: The county council is the fiscal body of the county government and controls all the spending and revenue collection in the county. Representatives are elected from county districts. The council members serve four-year terms. They are responsible for setting salaries, the annual budget, and special spending. The council also has limited authority to impose local taxes, in the form of an income and property tax that is subject to state level approval, excise taxes, and service taxes.[4][5]
Board of Commissioners: The executive and legislative body of the county is made of a board of commissioners. The commissioners are elected county-wide, in staggered terms, and each serves a four-year term. One of the commissioners, typically the most senior, serves as president. The commissioners are charged with managing the day-to-day functions of the county government.[4][5]
Court: The county maintains a small claims court that can handle some civil cases. The judge on the court is elected to a term of six years and must be a member of the Indiana Bar Association. The judge is assisted by a magistrate who is appointed by the judge. In some cases, court decisions can be appealed to the state level circuit court.[5]
County Officials: The county has several other elected offices, including sheriff, coroner, auditor, treasurer, recorder, surveyor, and circuit court clerk Each of these elected officers serves a term of four years and oversees a different part of county government. Members elected to county government positions are required to declare party affiliations and to be residents of the county.[5]
Perry County is part of Indiana's 9th congressional district and is represented in Congress by Republican Todd Young.
Perry County is represented in the Senate by Republican Dan Coats.
According to the 2010 census, the county has a total area of 386.29 square miles (1,000.5 km2), of which 381.73 square miles (988.7 km2) (or 98.82%) is land and 4.56 square miles (11.8 km2) (or 1.18%) is water.[6]

Roads and highways[edit]
Interstate 64 cuts across the northern portion of the county. State Road 66, designated as the Ohio River Scenic Byway for most of its course in the county, is the most heavily traveled road by residents and visitors alike, adjacent to the three most populous towns in the county as well as most major tourist destinations. State Road 37 connects the county to Bloomington and Indianapolis. Other state roads in the county include State Road 62, which closely parallels I-64; State Road 145, which winds through the western parts of the county; State Road 166, which is little more than a road to and from the hamlet of Tobinsport; State Road 237, which connects Cannelton directly to State Road 37 (also the site of a bridge on the Ohio River); a short run of State Road 545 near Troy; and State Road 70 which connects State Road 37 with State Road 66.
Perry County was formed on November 1, 1814 (two years before the State of Indiana was admitted to the Union) from Warrick County. It was named for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry who defeated the British squadron in the decisive Battle of Lake Erie in 1813.[7] The Ohio River made Perry County a focal point and settlers were drawn here due to plentiful supplies of natural resources and the area's scenic beauty.

in 2012 Affordable Midsize SUVs
2012 Buick Enclave Interior
This interior review was created when the car was new. Some links may no longer point to an active page.
The 2012 Buick Enclave's classy, high-quality interior impresses reviewers. Not only is the Enclave's interior attractive, but it's also roomy, with one of the largest cargo capacities in its class and a third row fit for adults.
- "The well-assembled interior includes high-quality materials. Chrome and wood-finish trim accents impart a classy ambiance. The standard cloth upholstery is nice enough, but the available leather feels more upscale." -- Consumer Guide
- "While the first things you're likely to notice about the Enclave's interior are its stylish design and quality materials, these superficial elements are just the beginning." -- Edmunds
Buick Enclave Pictures
The Buick Enclave can seat up to eight, and reviewers say its third row fits adults comfortably. That's high praise in a class where most third-row seats are only suitable for children. If you're looking for true third-row comfort, your best choice is a minivan.
- "The ability to comfortably transport up to eight passengers with the available second-row bench seat is something not all crossovers can claim. Even the third-row seats are suitable for adult passengers." -- Edmunds
- "Easy entry through large doors, and the 2nd-row seats tilt and slide forward to ease access to the 3rd row. Whether buckets or bench, the 2nd-row seats slide fore and aft about 3 inches to benefit either 2nd- or 3rd-row legroom. With the 2nd row slid forward, the 3rd row can accommodate 6-footers, though they'll ride knees-up. The bench seats are wide enough for 3-across seating for adults, but center-seat cushioning is stingy." -- Consumer Guide
Interior Features
The Enclave comes standard with a power liftgate, a tilt and telescopic steering column and tri-zone automatic climate control. Reviewers say that most of the controls are easy to use, although one mentions that the Buick Enclave's chrome trim can be annoyingly reflective in bright sunlight.
- "Clear, luminous gauges are easy to see in all light conditions. The available navigation system absorbs most audio functions, but doesn't complicate their use. Climate controls are mounted fairly low but are within easy reach. Their push buttons are less convenient than rotary knobs." -- Consumer Guide
- "Downsides here include chrome trim that can cause blinding reflections on a sunny day and audio and climate control buttons that are a bit on the small side." -- Edmunds
The Buick Enclave has one of the largest cargo capacities in its class, outdone only by its corporate siblings, the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia. It can hold up to 115.3 cubic feet of cargo behind the front seats, 67.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 23.2 cubic feet behind the third row. Reviewers say that in addition to its roomy cargo capacity, the Buick Enclave provides plenty of storage cubbies for smaller items.
- "There's more usable space behind the raised 3rd-row seat than in most midsize SUVs, plus a handy underfloor compartment. Both the 2nd- and 3rd-row seats fold forward easily to create a flat, nearly-level load floor. … Several bins and cubbies provide ample interior storage." -- Consumer Guide
- "For bulky items, folding down the second and third-row seats creates a nice flat load floor with 116 cubic feet of cargo room, a number that handily beats many crossovers but falls short of the massive carrying capacity of modern minivans." -- Edmunds

Amazing escape for rugby boy just inches from death
Last updated at 19:29, Thursday, 19 April 2012
A 12-year-old Workington boy was just inches away from paralysis or death when he broke his neck playing rugby.
David Curran, of Windsor Road, Westfield, was injured during a tournament at Derwent Park on Sunday.
He was airlifted to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary for immediate treatment.
Mum Tracy Cunningham said she was told that if he had been taken to hospital by car it would have probably caused brain damage or worse.
He will have to wear a neck brace for up to four months and cannot play rugby again until he is 16.
A consultant told his family that David had come very close to being paralysed or dying from his injury.
The St Joseph's School pupil and Salterbeck Storm player was playing against a team from Maryport when he ran into a tackle and hit his chin on the ground.
He left the pitch and collapsed into dad Stephen's arms.
Soon afterwards he came round and Stephen thought he was okay until he collapsed again.
Stephen planned to drive his son to the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven but match spectator Pat Mifsud, a former nurse, advised him to lay David still and called an ambulance.
He was flown to hospital by the Pride of Cumbria Air Ambulance and doctors found he had a bleed on his neck as well as a break.
Tracy said: "I keep on reminding him that he can still walk and he can still talk. He is extremely lucky.
"Half an inch further and the consultant said he wouldn't have been able to tell the tale. It was very close to the spinal cord."
David was discharged from hospital on Wednesday and is recovering at home, surrounded by cards from well wishers.
He will be off school for the rest of this month and have an x-ray on May 1, when doctors will decide if he is ready to return.
The neck brace will have to stay for between six weeks and four months and David will then have physiotherapy to help strengthen his damaged muscles.
He will miss a school trip to France and it will be a while before he can get back to any of the sports he loves, which range from swimming, running and cycling to rugby, football and boxing.
Tracy said: "He is devastated. He'll still follow rugby. He loves it.
"We came home and we forgot the rugby ball was right there that he plays with.
"He saw it and just had tears in his eyes.
"In 12 months time when we look back we'll think 'yes, he's been very lucky'."
Tracy and Stephen said they were grateful to everyone who had helped David and sent messages of support since the accident, including Vince McNicholas, of Salterbeck Storm, and the school.

"Everyone that I sent a card to loved them and the wording on the card is simple yet catchy. The photo quality looked just like it did on my computer during the editing process. I ordered the double matte which made the card extra thick and awesome but that option turned out to be pretty pricey when all said and done. Will order again from tiny prints."
"Most beautiful holiday cards we've ever sent out. Using the super express shipping went great---they really did arrive in 2 days (AMAZING!). Only complaint is that the print on some of the cards was very light (ink must've been running out), but it was too late to request a correction or get anything done about it. Paper quality was great--thick and study, photos printed beautifully. Overall, VERY pleased and would absolutely use TinyPrints again."
"The most beautiful card, such great quality. This was a great choice. Can't wait for the next occasion to order more cards. Everybody loved the cards and thought that I spent a fortune, thinking that I hired someone to do my cards, that is how beautiful they turned out."
"I love all the options in font, color, etc that there is now! It makes it more unique and lowers the chances of people ending up with the same style cards!"
"I was recommended to use Tiny Prints. Very impressed with the varied collection of designs - difficult to choose one! High quality, quick service, beautiful card - completely satisfied."

Priftin Dosage
Generic name: rifapentine
Dosage form: tablet, film coated
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. ALWAYS consult your doctor or pharmacist.
PRIFTIN has been studied for the treatment of tuberculosis caused by drug-susceptible organisms as part of regimens consisting of an initial 2 month phase followed by a 4 month continuation phase.
These recommendations apply only to the treatment of patients with drug-susceptible organisms.
Initial Phase (2 Months) of short course treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis:
PRIFTIN should be administered at a dose of 600 mg (4 × 150 mg tablets) twice weekly for two months by direct observation of therapy, with an interval of no less than 3 consecutive days (72 hours) between doses, in combination with other antituberculosis drugs as part of an appropriate regimen which includes daily companion drugs such as ethambutol, pyrazinamide, and streptomycin.
The determination of the companion drugs to be used should be made by the treating physician and depends on the results of susceptibility testing as well as the phase of treatment. PRIFTIN has been studied as part of the initial regimen with isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol [see Clinical Studies (14)].
Continuation Phase (4 Months) of short course treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis:
Following the Initial Phase (2 months), Continuation Phase (4 months) treatment may consist of PRIFTIN 600 mg once weekly for 4 months in combination with isoniazid or an appropriate antituberculosis agent for susceptible organisms by direct observation therapy.
PRIFTIN was studied as a component of a 4 month continuation phase in conjunction with INH 900 mg once a week in two clinical studies [see Clinical Studies (14)].
The prescribing physician is directed to current guidelines for further direction on other possible components of the Continuation Phase regimen as well as for directions on extending this phase.
Take PRIFTIN with meals. Administration of rifapentine with a meal increases oral bioavailability and may reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and/or vomiting. [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
In patients with conditions which predispose them to neuropathy (e.g., nutritional deficiency, HIV infection, renal failure, alcoholism, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women), concomitant administration of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is recommended in order to avoid INH-associated peripheral neuropathy (see American Thoracic Society/Centers for Disease Control/Infectious Disease Society of America Guideline for the Treatment of Tuberculosis and Tuberculosis Infection in Adults and Children).

OK, it's been a long time since I've worked in Bryce, but I installed Bryce 7 Pro on this relatively new laptop and have a quick question.
I installed Bryce and the Bryce Content, but when I try to run the Bryce Pro Content installer, it states it will uninstall the previous version's content, and I'm wondering if it will uninstall everything (it's a much larger installer than the Bryce Pro Content installer), or just those items that have been updated for Bryce 7 Pro.
Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

Under Armour acted swiftly to move beyond the controversy over whether the brand's high-tech skinsuits were responsible for U.S. speedskaters' lackluster run at the Sochi Olympics.
The Baltimore sports apparel maker renewed its sponsorship of US Speedskating through two more Winter Olympics in a deal announced Friday.
"We want to make a big statement of coming back and saying we're going to put an eight-year commitment for two more Olympics to have athletes wearing and competing in Under Armour and hopefully winning lots and lots of medals," Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank told CNN on Friday.

Baltimore, MD, USA
Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia
The sleek black suits, marketed as the fastest ever, became the prime suspect last week for the team's disappointing performance. Skaters decided midway through the competition to swap the suits for an earlier Under Armour version worn during World Cup season, but still did not earn any medals until Friday.
The short-track speedskating team won silver Friday in the men's 5,000 relay, giving the U.S. team its first and only medal in Sochi. Four years ago, in Vancouver, American speedskaters scooped up 10 medals, and they were the favorites in several events at Sochi.
Under Armour moved quickly to minimize the damage to its reputation for producing high-performance apparel for athletes of all levels, an image critical to its sales growth domestically and abroad.
The speedskating suits, designed in collaboration with defense contractor Lockheed Martin, will be back in future competitions, including the 2018 games in Seoul, South Korea, said Matt Mirchin, Under Armour's executive vice president of global marketing.
"If we didn't believe in the Mach 39, we would never have allowed it to be used in an Olympic setting," Mirchin said. "The Mach 39 will live. We know that it's the best suit out there to wear."
Friday's contract extension was seen as ending the flap, as investors bid up Under Armour shares more than 5 percent.
"It says the product is not the problem," said Bob Leffler, president of Baltimore-based Leffler Agency, a marketing group. "If you want to talk about putting out a fire, it cancels that out."
Analysts praised Under Armour's response from the beginning, when Plank and other Under Armour executives addressed the issue through a range of media outlets. Plank called the team's performance "a bit of a head-scratcher."
"This is going to be a small blemish and nothing more," said Bob Dorfman, executive creative director of Baker Street Advertising in San Francisco. "Yes, there is a little bit of blow-back they're suffering. They're a high-performance company, and these are high-performance athletes who were expected to win gold and didn't. There has been some controversy and blame on the suits."
The uniform imbroglio caught Under Armour by surprise, Mirchin said.
The issue bubbled up during the first week of the Olympics as team members performed well below expectations. Heather Richardson, the top-ranked women's skater in the world, finished seventh in the 1,000 meters and asked the Under Armour team to cover up the vent on the back.
"Is it the suit? Is it our preparation? The suit's the easiest thing to fix," said Brian Hansen after skating in the 500- and 1,000-meter races.
Even as US Speedskating moved to allow its athletes to race in older skinsuits — in the name of boosting their confidence — the organization and its coaches defended the new suits. Even the U.S. Olympic Committee issued a statement that appeared to clear the suit but did not point to any one factor. Some raised questions about the impact of the team's training at altitude for a sea-level competition.
Through it all, Under Armour stood behind the suits but worked to accommodate the athletes.
"This situation presented a tremendous opportunity for Under Armour's leadership team to react to a major crisis on a global stage, and they handled it like consummate professionals," said Jason Moser, a senior analyst with Motley Fool One in Alexandria, Va.
For any public relations challenge, a company's response is critical, Moser said.
"They can be defensive, or they can take a proactive stance, and Kevin Plank and his team have done a very good job of taking the proactive stance," Moser said. "It's one thing to say, 'We believe in the suit.' … But then he said, 'We remain patriots first and want to put the athletes in the best position to win.' "

ZIMBABWE Professional Golfers Association president Arkil Yousuf stepped down from office yesterday. Yousuf, a former treasurer of the ZPGA, had earlier on made indications that he would not resign from the leadership but he has since reconsidered the decision and stepped down.
In a statement last Friday Yousuf had said he now wanted to end his remaining year in office but after yesterday's meeting the golfer opted to step down with immediate effect.
In his earlier statement he had said: "My executive and myself were voted in for a period of two years, I will still remain in office until April 2013."
Despite saying that he had retracted his resignation the sources involved had not received the letters but were waiting for yesterday, which was the final day.
The Country Club based professional golfer has been in the office for the past three years having been elected in February 2009.
During his tenure there has been the birth of the Zambezi Tour. Yousuf came into office to replace Roy da Costa who had taken over after the death of Nasho Kamungeremu in August 2007.
Professional golfers are having their tournaments organised by the Zambezi Tour. ZPGA is now there only to act as a trade union that represents the interests of the golfers.
Yousuf is an ex-officio member of the board open committee. He was instrumental in the amendment of the constitution and sits in the on the board as the players' representative.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe finished tied fourth at this year's edition of the Zone VI championships in Malawi. The team managed 13 points and was tied with the hosts.
South Africa won after they accumulated 22.5 points. The Zimbabwe team is expected back home today. Last year, the Zimbabweans finished third. South Africa won the tournament for the second time in a row while Namibia was second on 15 points.
Last year's hosts Kenya came out third with 13.5 points. Uganda finished sixth on 12.5 points and Tanzania came seventh on 10.5 points.
Mauritius were last with four points.

Spelter Smelter
Current Site Information
EPA Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic)West Virginia
Harrison County
1st Congressional District
Last Update: March 2001
No future updates
Other Names
Spelter Zinc Plant
Current Site Status
Site oversight responsibility has been taken over by the State of West Virginia's Voluntary Remediation Program. In early 2001, Dupont and T. L.. Diamond, the Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), completed a Supplemental Site Assessment and a Human Health Risk Assessment. The reports have been submitted to the State for review. A determination will be made by the State if additional site assessment and or health risk information is needed. Following this, the West Virginia Voluntary Remediation Program calls for a Site Remedy Evaluation Report to be submitted by the PRPs.
The PRPs have consolidated the zinc tailings and installed erosion control security measures at the Site in accordance with an approved response action plan. A final report on this segment of the response action plan was received and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A close-out order for this segment of the plan was signed.
Site DescriptionThe Spelter Smelter Site consists of an area of approximately 117 acres and is situated in a moderately populated rural area within the limits of the unincorporated town of Spelter. Dupont and two other companies operated a zinc smelting plant at the Site from approximately 1910 to 1971. Zinc tailings, a residue of the smelting process, were taken from the retorts, where the zinc ore was removed, transported by hopper-cars on rail to an open area of the facility and dumped on the ground at the Site. The consequence of this method of disposal resulted in zinc tailing piles of up to 100 feet high covering about 50 acres, with high concentrations of lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Residential areas are located immediately north, northeast and east and some homes are within 50 yards of the zinc tailing piles. Although signs have been posted in an effort to restrict access, children continue to ride dirt-bikes over the zinc tailings piles and along a bike trail adjacent to the piles. The West Fork River is situated immediately west of the zinc tailings piles.
Site ResponsibilityCleanup of this site is being handled under an EPA Superfund Removal Order with the potentially responsible party.

Killzone 3
There are no words to describe how good this game is, for a long time Half life 2 has been my faviroute single player game but not anymore. The reviews this game got from the so called experts are laughable on the evidence i've seen. From beggining to end the game sucks you in for a truly remarkable adventure.

Killzone 3
I played Killzone 3 over the span of 2 days. This isn't because the game is short, but it's because I was gripped from start to finish and a human bodily function known as sleep stopped me from finishing it in the first day I bought it. Not many games grip me the way Killzone 3 did. For starters I'm nototriously stubborn when it comes to ANY sci-fi script. Not a huge fan of the genre mostly...

Killzone 3
There's no doubt that Guerilla Games set the bar ridiculously high for the Killzone franchise when they released Killzone 2 about two years ago and the expectations were immense; graphically and control wise. How could they possibly outdo the performance of Killzone 2? Is the thought even fathomable? Visari had been shot to death by Rico at the end of Killzone 2 as a last-minute rage outburs...

Hello fanboys and girls, welcome to yet another review of Killzone 3. I cannot believe how many people think this game is perfect...*Deep breath* okay, let me not try to get into that and jump into the review: As most of you know, Killzone 3 starts off right where the last one left off, and the beginning of the game throws a little of a curve ball (No spoilers here, sorry).

Well, Killzone series just like Halo series defines the meaning of a FPS on consoles, with its top notch graphics and pretty good story you would pretty much need nothing more than a good and challenging gameplay which GG delivered very well. But, Killzone 3 is beyond just challenging, while I play Call Of Duty Black Ops on hard difficulty, I can't even play on medium when it comes to Killzo...

Having recently platinumed Killzone 3, it would be stupid to say I didn't enjoy the game. That said it wasn't everything I had expected it to be. Let's start with the basics for offline play: GAMEPLAY Killzone 3 plays really well. Its style of shooter is different than Call of Duty and really sets itself up uniquely. The missions are still very linear, but they allow you a couple diff...

I have played many if not all FPS released so far on both PS3 and XBOX360 (and many on the PC as well) and I appreciate each one peculiarities and features; now it's Killzone 3's turn.

I've been playing Killzone 3 for 2 weeks now and here are my impressions/review of the game. As a huge Killzone 2 fan, I am happy with GG that they added the Coop single player mode.

Killzone 2 was a game that for me didn't completely satisfy me for any number of reasons. The campaign I felt was a little dull and repetitive, and while I enjoyed the multiplayer for about 10 hours I found it too frustrating to stay with for much longer. I awarded the game an 8.5/10, which looking back on my memories of the game feels a little high. Needless to say when Killzone 3 was anno...

Spoilers on Killzone 2 are in this review. Guerilla Games' last installment, Killzone 2, was a hard one to judge.

However through all this it formed a dedicated fanbase. Can the Killzone series evolve whilst also keeeping that f...

The pair are partnering for the artists' new album release, Reality Killed the Video Star, in a themed rally game which A.L. say, will feature "cutting edge 3D game play" and "the music and key visual themes from the record's artwork". In case you were born under a rock, Robbie Williams is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and has sold more records in the UK than any other musician.
Artificial Life have TMA tied up in the release of their new games Pandorum, and BMW Sauber F1.

You know those things in life that you always want to try, but never really get the time to make it work? When I first saw Sauce Digital's Nano Rally, I knew that I had to try it out. Simply put, I always wanted to race remote-controlled cars around the many layers of obstacles of a house. Sadly, I didn't have any remote controlled vehicles or much house (let alone layers of obstacles) to bump around in. Needless to say, this game piqued my interest. Nano-sized racecars cruising around everyday household objects – sounds good to anyone else?
Race fans, you have another dimension to explore if you want speed: The Future. Actually, I am not quite sure that the Future qualifies as a new dimension, but Assyria Game Studio's new title certainly qualifies as an interesting take on future racers. In the tradition of F-Zero, it is sci-fi esque, fast, and streamlined; but it also follows the 3D style of more modern racers like any of the myriad Star Wars Pod Racer clones. As in all racers, your basic mission is to beat each level with the best time and best placement: two details which require some leg-work. Strap in folksies, we is goin' for a ride.

Firemint is an extremely successful development studio out of Austraila. Recently becoming popular among the iDevice crowd for their title Flight Control, they are definitely not new to the scene and have created games in all genres and across various platforms.
What is it that made Firemint's Flight Control so popular? When it first appeared in the App Store, it had only one map and no online scores, yet it sold like wildfire. It was the fresh concept that drew the attention of the masses, being a new variation of the time management game.
But this review isn't about Flight Control, as there already is one on the site for that. This review is about a new game; one that's also spreading rapidly for it's new concept. From first glance, RedLynx's DrawRace looks like it has a similar concept with line drawing gameplay, but it's definitely not a time management game. I myself never became a fan of Flight Control, but DrawRace brought plenty of fun.
Race fans haven't long to wait for another exciting tyre-burner. Firemint Real Racing has just been submitted to Apple for approval and considering the dosh that rides on the wheels of racing apps, expect Apple to move quickly. This racer isn't another Need for Speed clone – you will take the role of a championship racer at the head or tail of a bunch of other professionals. Great graphics, tight cornering and my favourite: cockpit view are all included. But don't take my word for it, take a gander at the video!
Keep an eye out at the App Store for Real Racing as well as other great apps from Firemint.
Having my life's story turned into a Major Motion Picture Franchise about the world of street racing, that series being The Fast & The Furious, and having aspects of my life played by both Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, gives me greater insight into how a racing experience should feel when its brought to the small screen of your iDevice.
I was really excited to play this game. "Was" is the key word in the previous sentence. Driving big monster trucks, mixed in with some nitro and this was shaping up to be a great game. The intro splash screen had me all excited…5 minutes later, I was left scratching my head thinking "this is it?"

Min-On Concert Association Cosponsors Folk Dance Concert
On December 10, 2009, the Min-On Concert Association cosponsored the 2009 Mekong-Japan folk dance concert hosted by the Japan Asia Fine Arts Association. The event was held at the Tokyo International Forum in Chiyoda, Tokyo.
Dance companies from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam performed traditional court and folk dances, as well as collaborative pieces with traditional Japanese dance companies. Many of the performances depicted the culture of rice cultivation, the lifeblood of these countries. Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito attended the event, as well as ambassadors from eight countries.

Luminaries' vibes of consciousness illuminate the Green Room
Consciousness and activism were alive at the Green Room, with hot beats and soulful rhymes taking the venue by force. While their name sounded much like today's chart-topping band, The Lumineers, there was no mistaking this 3-piece rap group — Luminaries — for anything other than rap with a cause.
Local band Dub and Jefferson Washington opened up for Luminaries in the early moments of the show. The group's sound was a pleasant mix of old bluesy rock and hip-hop, creating an air of excitement in the room. Washington's guitar and vocals blended well with the Dub Jerry's raps. The set got the crowd excited with impressive dance moves from some.
Based out of Venice Beach, Calif., Luminaries style comes from a background of social service and brings their talents and use them to help others and find a power in doing so.
Following a strong set from Dub and Washington, the Luminaries took to the stage for a set full of energy and excitement. The trio is best described as conscious hip-hop fused with electronic with pieces of rock, reggae and some funk elements. The conscious factor comes into play in the lyrics of the songs, with many in this sub-genre having political undertones and often acts as social commentary.
Their beats were strong and energetic, and the three vocalists Javis "J Brave" Huggins, Felix "Free Will Luminous" Harris Jr. and Chris "Amore One" Devcich melded together perfectly. All three performers were completely in synch with each other, the backing beat and the audience.
During the set, a select few in the crowd danced with the most energy and skill, and at one point they brought out hula-hoops and other props that illuminated the dance floor. Both Jennifer Knott and Josiah Fleishman explained that their dancing is a way to unwind.
"My hoops live in my car. They go everywhere; if I need to unwind at work [or] a lunch break — hoops are in the car," Knott said. "It's like a center balance, that spinning. [It] just centers you."
Fleishman echoed Knott's sentiments.
"Dancing and hooping, juggling and you know all of this is a very spiritual experience for me, so any excuse I could find [I will go]," Fleishman said.
The substance of the songs was unexpected but a welcome surprise. There was a certain purpose to what the songs meant. "Free Energy" one of the strongest songs urged the following of Nikola Tesla's theories regarding energy and how, according to the song, the U.S. government is hiding nearly 5,000 patents. "Be The Change" is based on the ideas and philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi, who famously said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world" and preached non-violence.
Different from many rap groups, Luminaries has a background in activism, which largely influences what songs they write and how they perform.
"We're basically social service workers on the microphone — we all do something, we're artists in action not just emcees just talking about it. Javis has been working with youth for a number of years now, Chris is an activist, like standing on the front lines, the Occupy Movement, the South Central Farm movement," Harris Jr. said. "I met Javis when we were playing basketball somewhere, kind of started out we made a deal to trade service and music and find a way to blend it and then all of these things started happening. It's helping kids and helping people, it's the same thing [but] we're doing it with music."
The group had the opportunity to travel around the world, sharing their message. In 2011, they traveled through the Middle East performing, most notably Palestine and Israel, and in 2012 Luminaries traveled to perform at the Bali Spirit Festival in Ubud, Indonesia. Traveling abroad gave the group a new perspective and inspiration.
"I think going anywhere in the world and feeling people's energy and connecting with them on the most humble level . . . like some people [are] in a tough situation, like Palestine. [It's] really challenging out there, being in that type of unrest and injustice and suppression, and to see that it helps to fuel the fire [for] what we do," Huggins said. "That's definitely changed who we are for sure in every way."
The trip abroad also informed the performers about the Palestine-Israeli conflict, and according to Devcich, the people contrasted the medias portrayal.
"It changed my life overall; it changed my perspective because I heard a lot about — like for example the Palestine-Israel situation. I heard a lot about it second hand but I'd never directly experienced it so it was so beautiful being in Palestine. We didn't experience any ill will or any kind of negative sentiment from anybody over there, which is so contrary to what is pushed through the media," Devcich said. "People were beautiful there; people were beautiful in Israel. I do feel like Palestine is an open-air prison, an occupied country. If anything, I tried to go in there objective and not take a side."
Luminaries are currently on tour and expect to be touring for much of this year and foresee a second album on the horizon.

Usually when you visit a gallery there's a certain amount of space that needs to be left between you and the priceless artworks. The even have alarms. They even have security guards saying "Miss, please step back from the Pollock."
Your inner-child will have a ball though, at the Magic Art exhibition in Hangzhou, China.
This exhibition encourages viewers to interact with the art – touch it, pose with it, really enjoy it. More than that even, these artworks only truly come alive when they're interacted with.
Created by 15 Korean artists, the works are kind of trompe l'oeil: you can pose as though you're extinguishing a dragon's flaming breath, or as though you're inside a Great White shark's mouth.
Pretty cool, pretty fun.
The Magic Art show is at the Peace International Exhibition and Conference centre, Shaoxing Road, Hangzhou, China.
