Mick Jagger's Jagged Films is producing the upcoming biopic on the "The Godfather Of Soul," the late-James Brown. The Telegraphreported that the film will be directed by Tate Taylor, best known for the Oscar Award-winning 2011 civil rights-based drama, The Help. Taylor is hoping to draw from The Help cast for the new movie, which will star Chadwick Boseman who is from Anderson, best known for his turn as Jackie Robinson in the recent, 42, to portray Brown over the course of his life.
The film, which will be shot in Mississippi, will feature Jagger in an unspecified role. Jagger, Keith Richards, and Little Richard figure in to the story and will be played by still-to-be cast actors. No start date has been announced for the production

Victoria Day
Victoria Day (in French: Fête de la Reine) is a federal Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25, in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday. The date is also, simultaneously, that on which the current reigning Canadian sovereign's official birthday is recognized. It is sometimes informally considered as marking the beginning of the summer season in Canada.
The holiday has been observed since before Canada was formed, originally falling on the sovereign's actual birthday, and continues to be celebrated in various fashions across the country on the fixed date; the holiday has always been a distinctly Canadian observance. It is a statutory holiday federally, as well as in six of Canada's ten provinces and all three of its territories. In Quebec, the same day was, since the Quiet Revolution, unofficially known as Fête de Dollard until 2003, when provincial legislation officially named the same date as Victoria Day the National Patriots' Day.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - A six-day-old baby from an eastern Kansas city was flown to St. Louis Children's Hospital last week to await a heart transplant, the child's only hope for long-term survival.
Bentley Clark was born November 11 in Emporia, Kansas. Doctors at the family hospital discovered one side of Bentley's body was receiving oxygenated blood from his heart. He was initially airlifted to pediatric hospital in Kansas City, where doctors located and removed a clot his heart. Bentley was two-days-old at the time of the surgery.
The following day, doctors noticed Bentley Clark's pulmonary function was still declining. The newborn was placed on ECMO, a treatment utilizing a pump and oxygenator to deliver oxygen to vital organs in place of the heart and lungs.
Since St. Louis Children's Hospital is the most active heart transplant center in the region, the decision was made to fly Bentley there for care.
On Monday, Bentley Clark was given a Berlin heart, a device used to support a child until a donor heart becomes available.
Bentley's parents will relocate to St. Louis while their son awaits his transplant.

On Oct. 25th, IBM is going to open up our webcast series to two of the Mainframe world's most respected bloggers/journalists. Bob Thomas, Editor and Publisher of MainframeZone and Bob's Big Iron Blog along with Ala Radding author of Dancing Dinosaur will be joining our webcast series. This is the first time we've invited Bloggers on the show to share their perspective on our z products. Join us for the special web event to discuss IBM's zEnterprise 114 and bring your questions.. In July, IBM introduced its newest member of the zEnterprise family, the zEnterprise 114, the successor to the System z® 10 BC. Today's mainframe is a modern system that runs technologies such as Java, Linux, XML and SOA, and with zEnterprise extends this concept further to integrate traditional mainframe with AIX® , Linux on System x® and, eventually, Microsoft* Windows* environments all under one management construct. IBM has highlighted many reasons to consider investing in the z114 today, and encourage users of current System z servers to migrate to the z114. But this unique show will take you beyond IBM's positioning to an understanding of what the marketplace and customers think about the announcement.
In this webcast you'll hear from experts about the benefits of this lower cost zEnterprise solution. Never before has the mainframe been so affordable. But, is it a practical solution for your organization?
Hear from experts Alan Radding, renowned Mainframe blogger and author of the Dancing Dinosaur blog as well as Bob Thomas, Editor of Mainframe Zone Magazine about how the mainframe market is changing and why it's the right time to consider Mainframe for midmarket and beyond.

Stevie Wonder turned his annual holiday benefit into a star-studded affair on Saturday as he performed his classic double album "Songs in the Key of Life" in its entirety, with a little help from the likes of John Mayer and Herbie Hancock.
The "Superstition" legend delighted guests at the House Full of Toys gala by revisiting the 37-year-old album with many of the same bandmembers who had played on the original 1976 release.
Opening the show, he told the crowd, "Truly, I wanted to do this for years… but it felt like it was meant to be right now."
He was joined by a slew of musicians throughout the three-hour-long show, including Mayer on guitar for "All Day Sucker," singer India.Arie on "Saturn" and R&B veteran Joe on tracks like "Love's in Need of Love Today."
Wonder also reunited with Hancock for "As," and recruited jazz musician Esperanza Spalding to play an upright bass for segments of the gig, which featured a nine-minute-long rendition of "Isn't She Lovely," complete with an extended harmonica solo, reports RollingStone.com.
In between songs, the soul icon paid tribute to the late Nelson Mandela and even brought young members of his family onstage to join him in the spotlight.
The string of collaborations took place two days after he teamed up with Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora to perform a duet on "Silent Night" at the 2013 Hollywood Christmas Parade.
The musicians entertained fans with a performance of popular Christmas carol "Silent Night" as part of the annual holiday event, and the Bon Jovi guitarist couldn't believe his luck.
He says, "It is almost beyond words. He was the guy that I emulated when I was a boy, and he taught me how to sing. It was an honor to meet your teacher. The first thing I did was whisper in his ear, 'I'm sure you get this a lot, but you were my inspiration as a singer.' The first thing he said is (sic), 'You do the first verse!'"

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) -- The Roman Catholic diocese of Grand Rapids says four West Michigan residents have been killed in a car accident during a mission trip to Haiti.
The diocese says some of those killed were members of the Holy Spirit Parish in Grand Rapids.
Parish leaders identified them as Matt Kutsche, Mary LaPonsie, and Jim and Rita Cwengros.
The parish has a relationship with the Haitian Parish of Seguin in the diocese of Jacmel and makes regular trips down there.
In a statement Friday, the Grand Rapids diocese calls it a "horrible tragedy."

MORGANTOWN - Don Nehlen is credited with putting West Virginia University football on the map with a 21-year run of unmatched success, the creation of the ''Flying WV'' logo, and a pro style of play that produced pro-style players.
Rich Rodriguez advanced the school's football-playing reputation with a hold-the-rope mentality and a self-made read option offense that produced some mind-boggling rushing numbers, including college football's all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks in Pat White.
These days, Dana Holgorsen, armed with a big-minded athletics director and a tempo-based, pass-heavy spread offense that is re-writing the passing records by the week, has taken over, producing the kind of numbers that demand the national spotlight stay shining on Morgantown.

Holgorsen's offensive background speaks for itself. In the last seven years, each of the offenses he's been in charge of has been nationally ranked in total yards, including one No. 1 and two No. 2s. West Virginia's 6,104 total yards last season were a school record.
Seeing these results, you'd think Holgorsen's a mad scientist concocting things that have never been done.
Not so.
As WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson points out, ''the field's been the same size for a long time.''
The key to this red-bull offense is its simplicity. Everything these guys do is for a reason and nothing is wasted.
''If you look at games during the week, you see guys with these playsheets that are bigger than me with 200 plays on there,'' Dawson said. ''You don't have to be a mathematician to figure it out. Let's say there's 80 plays in a game. When you have over 200 calls on your sheet, if you called all of those one time (in practice), it's over with. Obviously, that's a lot. In our deal, the plays we practice, we're going to run.
''We're up here all day and all night. We can come up with a million things that work against a million coverages. But the bottom line is how much stuff can we come up with that, in this room, 18-22-year-old kids that spend 30-45 minutes a day thinking about it, rather than eight hours a day thinking about it, can execute on the field Saturday when there's live bullets and when there's 75,000 people there?''
So they're doing the same things everybody else is doing; they're just not doing as much of them.
And the players are appreciative.
''I definitely think because the playbook is so simple, it allows us to play a lot faster,'' running back Shawne Alston said. ''With the last system that we ran, there was a whole lot more plays and calls and stuff from week to week.''
There will never be any gameday surprises, Dawson said.
''We try to be as efficient as we can in every aspect of it as far as the way we rep, the way we walkthrough,'' he said. ''Everything is done for an exact reason, for an exact purpose. And we make sure the plays we run during the week are the exact plays we run during the game and there's nothing outside of that.
''In our offense, we're extremely routine, almost to where you can get bored and fall asleep.''
And we thought this was an exciting offense.
Rodriguez is largely credited with inventing the zone read play out of the shotgun and made his name on teaching the importance of studying those defensive ends on every snap. It worked with great success, and frustrated a lot of defensive ends, and defensive coordinators, to no end.
Still, no quarterback ever threw for 300 yards in a game under Rodriguez at WVU.
Geno Smith does that with regularity in this offense. In fact, Smith has averaged 341 passing yards in the 15 games Holgorsen has coached at WVU, and he has five of the top eight single-game passing yardage totals in school history.
When he's not simplifying things, Holgorsen prefers to take advantage of every inch of space the spread offers and everything he wants to do is based on tempo- the faster, the better.
It's easier to do this when the thought process is taken away and talent and repetition take over. Every quick score affords more time down the road for another one. This is a coach who embraces points. With those naturally come big numbers.
This season's snaps have produced the nation's second-best scoring offense - behind only an Oklahoma State team that had the fortune of playing Savannah State.
Stedman Bailey is the nation's leading receiver at 11 catches per game, and is tops at 138.5 receiving yards per game. Tavon Austin is the country's No. 2 receiver at 10.5 catches per game. Smith is ranked second nationally in both pass efficiency (209.81), just behind TCU's Casey Pachall and second in total offense (408.5 yards per game), just behind Marshall's Rakeem Cato.
They've made it all look - and sound - so simple.

Video: Clayton County officer dies after shooting | Part II
CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- A Clayton County police officer has died after a shootout at the Motel 6 in Stockbridge Monday.
Officer Sean Callahan, 24, had only been on the job four months and is the first officer the department has lost in the line of duty.
He died just after 5:15 a.m. Tuesday at Grady Memorial Hospital.
"A police officer is a job that only a few people have the mental and physical ability to perform," Lt. Chris Windley said in a statement Tuesday.
"For those few men and women that do have those abilities, it is an honor to be able to put on that uniform. Our job as police officers is to protect and serve. Our job requires us to run to face the danger, no matter what the circumstances. We don't do this job to be seen, we do this job to protect our nation. We do this job because it is something that we love to do."
"Officer Sean Louis Callahan joined the Clayton County Police Department because he wanted to do something that he loved," Windley added. "Please pray for the Callahan Family, the Clayton County Police Department."
According to childhood friend Justin Baker, Callahan was the "protector" in their group of friends.
Callahan graduated from Lassiter High School in Cobb County in 2006 and put himself through the police academy at Reinhardt College. He graduated in 2011.
Baker said Callahan talked about being an officer as a child but he got more serious about it, as he grew older.
"It wasn't easy. He had to take a couple of turns left and right to get there but he did it and that's what makes today even harder," Baker told 11Alive News.
PHOTOS | Clayton County officer-involved shooting
Clayton County Police Chief Gregory Porter said Callahan was among two officers who responded to a domestic dispute between a Stockbridge couple at around 2:15 p.m. Monday.
Porter said the man, later identified as 42-year-old Tremaine Lebis, ran away and Callahan chased him. Gunfire broke out, and Callahan was shot twice in the head. Lebis was killed.
Witnesses described the series of gunshots coming from outside their motel rooms. "Everybody thought it was construction because they were working on a room," said Warren Parham, was in a room with his 3-year-old son.
"It was so loud I had to tell my youngest to get down on the floor because I didn't know if they would come through the wall," he said.
"We opened the door up and looked and the only thing that I seen is (the suspect) rounding the corner of the back building," said Joe Fiouris.
Fiouris said he saw Lebis walking his dog around the motel before the shooting.
According to the Department of Corrections, Lebis was in prison twice, his longest sentence for aggravated assault and possession of a weapon in Gwinnett County. He served 15 of a 20 year sentence.
He plead guilty in Henry County in 2011 for as a convicted felon, illegally possessing a weapon and making a false report of a crime. He was allowed out on parole in May, when he died in the shootout with police.
His wife, Lisa Lebis appeared in court on Tuesday on simple battery and obstruction charges. She's accused of refusing to follow police orders the day of the shooting and kicking a police officer trying to put her in the patrol car.
Lebis had a bruise around her left eye and cried as she entered the courtroom.
In court, Lebis told the judge she was five months pregnant and had a long list of medical problems. She described herself as a stay at home mom, but told the judge her two other children lived with her ex-husband.
Seven law enforcement officers have died in Georgia while on duty this year.

What will happen to North Park theater?
Tenant who holds mortgage note proposes takeover; opera lawyer says pact not valid
It has all the elements of one of the productions the now-bankrupt Lyric Opera of San Diego used to stage at the Birch North Park Theatre: conflict, disruption and dysfunction.
But the curtain could come down as soon as this week on the often-melodramatic bankruptcy proceedings that have engulfed the Lyric Opera, the owner of the historic North Park Theatre, for more than a year and a half.
David Cohen, who owns and operates the West Coast Tavern at the front of the theater and the Uptown Tavern in Hillcrest, proposed a settlement earlier this month in which he and his company, DCMM, would take over the 731-seat, 32,000-square-foot theater and its operations. Essentially, the slate would be wiped clean and the Lyric Opera would cease to exist.
A bankruptcy court judge could rule on Cohen's proposal in a hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
Cohen, when reached by phone, said it was "premature" to talk about the legal proceeding or his potential plans for the theater.
The president of the Lyric's board of directors, Roberto Cueva, said "too many things are in flux" and that he "couldn't speak at this time." Lyric management was unavailable for comment.
Cohen and DCMM's petition, however, says they were approached by a Lyric representative about a possible resolution prompted by financial and "operational problems."
Cohen is in a unique position, as his West Coast Tavern is a tenant of the Lyric Opera, but he also owns the $4 million mortgage note the Lyric took out in 2006 and later refinanced (the note was sold to Cohen in 2012 for an undisclosed amount).
"Lyric Opera is out of funds, out of options and seeks help," according to court documents filed by Cohen's attorney, Jean Heinz. "DCMM has agreed to a settlement that allows a smooth transition as to both the property and the operations."
The Lyric's attorney, Christine Baur, sees it differently. In court filings responding to the proposal, she identifies the Lyric Opera's representative as Cueva, who she states acted without advice of counsel and without the consent of the Lyric's board, making any agreement he reached with Cohen invalid.
She asserts that to the extent that the Lyric is in financial distress, "DCMM should be held accountable." She claims DCMM had not paid the Lyric the "alcohol sales percentage under the lease amendment for the last three and a half years," totaling about $700,000. And after purchasing the Lyric's $4 million note, Cohen immediately tried to get permission from the court to foreclose on the loan, which caused additional legal expenses and complications for the Lyric.
"DCMM has sought to take advantage of the Debtor at every turn," the Lyric's court papers state. "DCMM's continued attempts to mislead ... the Debtor should not be tolerated."
The not-for-profit Lyric Opera, under the management of its founders Jack Montgomery and Leon Natker, purchased the now 84-year-old theater in 2005 for about $12.5 million in a complex arrangement with the city and developer Bud Fischer. Much of that amount was covered by redevelopment funds and donations (including $1 million from the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation) — and that $4 million mortgage — but the company still had nearly $1 million more to raise when it moved in.
Within six months of the theater's opening celebration in late 2005, Natker, the general director, was concerned about "sluggish fundraising." By 2008, the Lyric had taken out an additional $400,000 line of credit and by early 2011, it put the theater on the market with a price tag of about $5 million. The company planned to continue producing shows and rent the theater back from the new owners.

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin, The Imperial Republican
You don't have to do it alone
It's amazing how you can live for five decades and still get that gratifying feeling once in awhile when you sit back and think, I did it all by myself. And then you realize how much help you really had.
I had registered for a conference more than four months before it was to happen, however I knew there was plenty of time to get a plane ticket. I sought my husband's help in that department since he's our travel planner.
It's amazing how time flies and I didn't act quickly enough when he told me about an almost-too-good-to-be-true rate. He was awaiting my final decision for a departure day. Within hours, that rate had quadrupled and it continued to go up. Darn! We finally reached the moment of desperation and had to get something booked.
I traded some convenience for $$ and agreed on a 6:30 a.m. flight. Believe it or not, it was cheaper to get a flight with a rental car included than it was to get the flight alone. I wasn't crazy about driving in an unfamiliar city by myself, but surely I could cancel the rental and still be $$ ahead. All was well and then the big "snow" word came into the picture.
Had I been more organized, I'd have been ahead of the storm. As usual, I had a long list of must do's before leaving town. Then I ran into online issues and computer problems, extending the time to get the tax reports filed that were on deadline. Not good. I was leaving town at midnight, which would allow just a few brief hours of shuteye before heading to the airport. I was pumped and ready for the trip so I didn't worry about being too tired to drive. But I was unaware of how much snow had accumulated in the last couple hours.
I began my journey west only to find that I couldn't even tell where I was on the road. There wasn't anyone else around to compete with road space, but that was an eerie thought when I began to slide around and knew I was in an area without cell phone service.
Fifty miles per hour. 40 miles per hour. 30 miles per hour. No way. I could never make it at that rate and I decided it wasn't worth it anyway. It was painful to think that my plane ticket wasn't refundable since we went for the better rate. Same with the hotel room. But it still wasn't worth the danger. I was turning back.
Wait. Where's the road? What if someone comes? I can't see. Better keep creeping along until I get to Holyoke. I'll decide whether to stay there at my sister's or turn around and go back home so that I won't be snowed in.
About that time, Russ called to say he was checking online and it should get better. But I had already decided to throw in the towel. Well wait. Would it get better? Keep going? Stop? Turn back? I called the hotel near the airport and they weren't having any snow. No snow? Well there might be hope if I don't have to face this much longer. Onward.
It did get better. Alas, the snow subsided, but I could still hardly see. Aha. The headlights must be covered. A stop at a well-lit truck stop to clear off the heavy snow took care of that. Plus I welcomed the chance for a pit stop. Are you kidding? They're closed? No open bathrooms? This is not a good sign!!
I did eventually arrive at the hotel. Whew. What a victory that I found it. Despite specific map quest directions and that GPS voice, I so often still manage to take wrong turns. But I made it and I could let go of some tension. Did I check into the hotel? No. There was no time. But did I have to get back in my vehicle to go to the airport? No. Finally!!! Some good news. There was a shuttle leaving shortly for the airport and they would allow me to park at the hotel at no charge. I think it was sympathy.
Upon arrival at the right airline, the friendly guy took my bag out of the back of the shuttle. I'd attempted to pack lightly so that I wouldn't have to check luggage but the contents were bulging a bit. Wait. Is that my bag? The gentleman mentioned that mine had orange on the handle. Bless his heart for noticing! And bless my husband's heart for adding the florescent tape at the last minute. Another lady's bag bulged just like mine and we needed to switch. Whew. Something else went right.
Inside the airport. Now what? I didn't have to check luggage. Gees. I realized how much I'm a tag along when traveling and I usually just follow my husband. I had to think and even asked someone in order to make sure I was headed in the right direction. Then I got pulled aside for a bag check. What? It's my husband who always takes forever in security. What could be in my bag that showed potential danger? Well I took my mom up on the offer for one of her carry-on bags and I didn't realize there were some little hotel shampoos and lotion in one of the zippers. Sorry, guy. I'll be more careful next time.
The sun did come up before my slumber time began, but starting a trip short of sleep is nothing new for me. I felt proud that I could find my way all by myself when needing to switch planes after our first landing and alas, I'd reached my destination.
So now I need to get to my hotel downtown. Do I call and cancel the rental car and just take a shuttle or taxi? I'll have to pay for parking if I have a car, and I certainly don't need any more stress.
Whoa! Look at the long line for taxis. Look at those ladies. I wonder if they're going to the same conference I am? Yes? Well do you want to go with me to get my rental car? I suddenly had some New York friends and they no longer had to wait in line. Boy was I glad for extra eyes!
It was pouring rain and even though the GPS voice told me where to turn, it was hard to see the signs to find the right exit. But my new friend in the seat beside me helped navigate, and the backseat eyes could confirm when it was clear on either side. We did it. We found their hotel in our little PT Cruiser. They pitched in to help cover my parking and I relied on the GPS to guide me a few more blocks to my hotel.
I was on my own when it was time to return to the airport, but I knew I could do it. I'll admit I did take a wrong turn and panicked as I got out of the Cruiser and rushed up to a ticket lady in a parking garage. She guided me with her kind southern drawl on how to get back on track. And I did it . . . all by myself. Well I guess I wasn't alone. I had asked for help and I cleared the spot on the seat beside me as I prayed for the Lord to buckle up and be my navigator.
I did it. I got buckled in and was settled on my final non-stop flight. Or so I thought. Rather than preparing for takeoff, the flight crew announced that we'd be changing planes as there was a mechanical problem that couldn't easily be fixed. It had been such a full flight that rather than having us put our carry-on suitcases above, they had packed them below. No problem. Those would be transferred to the other plane. But there was a problem. I had put my boarding pass in that bag when I should have been done with it. But now I needed it to board the substitute plane.
Panic!! No problem. I just had to move to the end of the line and prove that I am who I am one more time. Thank heavens my I.D. wasn't in that bag.
I made a new friend on the plane and have talked to her several times since. I got really inspired about whole food nutrition at the conference and had a great time dancing with Elvis and friends in downtown Memphis, Tenn. My vehicle awaited me in fine shape and the reports of sleet and poor travel weather earlier that day had subsided. Onward. All was well for smooth sailing ahead.
Yes, there were bumps in the road. But with others to guide me and the fortitude to keep moving forward, I did it! Isn't that what life's all about! You don't have to do it alone.

He made his stage debut suspended on stage in a bag for the Paris production of "Godspell" and later scored a huge success in the 1979 Paris stage production of Bernard Slade's "Tribute" (called "Coup de chapeau" in France) which focused on a glad-handing theatrical press agent who is acclaimed 1980 production of "Le Garcon d'appartement" in Paris, in which he also starred.

|Republican camaraderie endorsed at Lincoln Day Dinner
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
|Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:30
Bad weather and a non-election year minimized the attendance at this year's Phillips County Lincoln Day dinner, but those attending enjoyed the Republican camaraderie.
Secretary of State Scott Gessler, State Senator Greg Brophy, State Representative Jerry Sonnenberg and Jamie Gardner, wife of U.S. Congressman Cory Gardner, addressed the crowd of close to 40 at the Haxtun Community Center Sunday noon, March 10.
Acknowledging they've had tough times in the legislature, Sonnenberg asked the crowd, "So why do we do this?"
"Because liberty and freedom are still worth fighting for," he emphasized.
Two of the 2012 Voice of Democracy contest winners, Erin Vieselmeyer of Holyoke High School and Matt Wilcox of Haxtun High School, shared their speeches.
Jerry Sonnenberg, Dist. 65 Representative in the Colorado State House,
—Enterprise photo
Phillips County Republican chairperson Steve Young emceed the afternoon program.
County officials in attendance were commissioners Joe Kinnie and Harlan Stern, assessor Doug Kamery and treasurer Linda Statz.
Gardner had been on NBC's Meet the Press earlier Sunday, so was unable to be in Colorado. His wife represented him at Sunday's gathering, reporting that the U.S. House is holding firm on keeping things on a practical level.
Brophy also had media time Sunday, when he said he was on KOA Radio regarding the gun control debate.
He spoke of frustration with the gun control issues, specifically with House Bill 1224 which would limit ammunition magazines of more than 15 rounds.
He said this bill, starting July 1, will effectively block the sale of handguns made by Glock, one of the most popular manufacturers today. "We know the world is watching this," he added.
Gessler served as the featured speaker for the annual Republican gathering. He shared the accomplishments in his office since he took office two years ago and also touted the success of the 2012 election process in Colorado.
Not accepting the status quo, Gessler said he landed in the middle of a budget cycle when he took office in January of 2011. He persevered and succeeded in keeping business fees rather than inflating fees and treating them as taxes.
While in office, they have permanently reduced six to eight business fees. He noted they just completed a fee holiday, where every single fee in the office was one dollar. Even back on the normal fee structure, fees will be low compared to the rest of the nation.
He's proud of the password protection system they've initiated. Additionally, he discussed the plan in which foreign companies (like from Kansas and Nebraska) can complete registration statements online. This is less expensive and easier.
From an administrative standpoint, Gessler believes the 2012 election in Colorado is the best in the history of Colorado.
Voter turnout in the state was the third highest in the country. While military and overseas voter turnout was down nationally, it was up over 60 percent in Colorado.
This was a result of his office reaching out to those in the military and overseas to deliver ballots online and encourage voting.
Election administration was handled well on election day, with no problems with long lines. Gessler said there were far fewer problems in the 2012 election than ever before.
Election integrity was the final item that made Colorado's election successful, according to Gessler.
Secretary of State Scott Gessler addresses the Phillips County
—Enterprise photo
People were encouraged to update their voter information through online voter registration. Gessler said a quarter of a million people in Colorado updated their information.
Ineligible people on the voter rolls was addressed as Gessler's office compared driver's license rolls to voter registration. They also checked with the Department of Homeland Security.
They found about 1,000 people on the voting rolls who were ineligible voters. Letters were sent out, and Gessler said people volunteered to be removed. Many apologized after receiving the letter. Gessler said many didn't know they weren't eligible to vote. They checked the box "not a U.S. citizen" for their driver's license, but were still given voter registration info.
Gessler challenged those attending Sunday's program to reach out to the metro area and write a letter to the editor to a city paper once every two months. He also suggested that they post something online every week.
He commended the legislators from northeast Colorado, including Sonnenberg, Brophy and Gardner and cited the support of the people they represent.
"Today we look back at the accomplishments of the generation before us. It's our duty to protect and nurture that inheritance and build upon it," said Gessler.

Jazz musician Dave Brubeck died Wednesday morning at Norwalk Hospital, in Norwalk, Conn., his longtime manager-producer-conductor Russell Gloyd tells the Chicago Tribune.
Brubeck, who would have turned 92 on Thursday, died of heart failure, en route to "a regular treatment with his cardiologist," said Gloyd.
A birthday party was planned in the town of Wilton, Conn., featuring his son, Darius Brubeck; Richie Cannata, sax player for Billy Joel; and Bernie Williams, former New York Yankees star.
The pianist reached pop star status with recordings including Take Five and Blue Rondo a la Turk. As a pianist, notes the Tribune, Brubeck applied the classical influences of his teacher, the French master Darius Milhaud, to jazz, playing with an elegance of tone and phrase that thought to be the antithesis of the American sound.
As a humanist, he was at the forefront of integration, playing black jazz clubs throughout the deep South in the '50s, a point of pride for him.
"For as long as I've been playing jazz, people have been trying to pigeonhole me," he once told the Tribune. "Frankly, labels bore me."
Brubeck is survived by his wife, Iola; four sons and a daughter; grandsons and a great granddaughter.

Balanced Trade on the Horizon?
June 17, 2010
While most shipping analysts maintain that the undervalued Chinese Yuan should still be a concern for U.S. exporters, there are those who say that surging demand may make it less of an issue in the near future.
According to Walter Kemmsies, chief economist at Moffatt & Nichol engineers, China's appetite for our raw commodities will drive a more sustainable and balanced trade relationship.
"China will soon have problems feeding its growing population," Kemmsies, told shippers attending the annual conference of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition in San Francisco last week. "They will rely increasingly on our ability to get them these goods."
Younger populations elsewhere in Asia will also drive U.S. food exports, said Kemmsies, and that will be reflected in more outbound containerized shipments. If this country is to finally come out of its deep recession, Ag exports must be a key and lasting component.

This week's controversy over President Obama's speech to America's school children has morphed into a rather unfortunate online game.
Obama's School Camp comes from Scottish firm T-Enterprise, which often mocks political issues with their Friday game offerings. Today's game challenges players to press letters on their keyboards which correspond to paper airplanes floating toward an animation of the President. Press the right letter quickly enough and the paper airplane disappears. Otherwise, it strikes the Obama character.
The paper airplane imagery seems to be an especially poor choice for a game published today, September 11th. It seems an even worse decision given that the game comes from T-Enterprise, which was the firm behind the now-canceled Rendition: Guantanamo project. A consultant to that game was alleged to have ties to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

As many have encountered, I experience the problem with the status page being wrong (everything appears down (red cross) even if it's working perfectly) and the stats are no longer working, after updating from 5 to 6.0.2
I noticed other had different results from their troubleshooting tips per the wiki, but the information collected following the procedure didn't help me. Here are the information:
zmloggerctl status; echo $?; ps ax | grep zmlogger
24968 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep zmlogger

no structure found for zmmtastats at /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmrrdfetch line 225.
grep -w MTA /var/log/zimbra-stats.log
(doesn't return anything, and zimbra-stats.log stays empty)
zmsoap -z GetLoggerStatsRequest stats/@name=zmmtastats | head -20
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: Unable to read logger stats)
zmsoap -z GetLoggerStatsRequest stats/@name=zmmtastats @limit=1 | head -50
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: Unable to read logger stats)
As a guess, I tried to edit the syslog setting to make syslog write all data (mail.* auth.* local.*) to zimbra-stats.log, not really sure that was what was expected... At least I get the information the system needs to make the stats in the correct place, but it doesn't work better. The message I get as a result for the last two commands is then :
zmsoap -z GetLoggerStatsRequest stats/@name=zmmtastats |head -20
GetLoggerStatsResponse xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin"/
zmsoap -z GetLoggerStatsRequest stats/@name=zmmtastats @limit=1
GetLoggerStatsResponse xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin"/
System is Debian 5 64 bits, emulated in a vmware.
What are the steps to take to make it work? (the data doesn't seem written to zimbra-stats.log from where it is supposed to originate, but I checked the usual suspects in that regard (permissions...) so I am a little puzzled.
Thanks in advance for helping me fixing my problem!

May 31, 2016
General Motors is recalling nearly 119,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the hoods can fly open unexpectedly and block the driver's vision.
The recall affects Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize trucks from the 2010 through 2012 model years.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says some of the trucks may not have a secondary hood latch. If the main latch isn't fastened, the hood could open.
GM found the problem after getting two complaints.
Owners will have the option of checking the hoods for the secondary latch or taking it to a dealer. If there's no secondary latch, GM will replace the hoods free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin next month.

Seychelles Coral Reef Invasives
Seychelles, Indian Ocean

Project Overview
The IUCN, in partnership with the Seychelles Centre for Marine Research and Technology (SCMRT-MPA) and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, is in the final stages of a project to identify non-indigenous species in the Seychelles; enhance capacity of staff and institutions involved in monitoring; and improve awareness of local communities to the threats posed by these introduced organisms and the impacts they may have on their economy.
Although terrestrial invasive species have received considerable attention, marine invasives have been largely ignored over the past decade. The spread of non-indigenous marine species has recently become a global environmental threat due to the rapid increase in commercial shipping and recreational boating.
The damage caused by invasive species can be devastating due to potential competition with indigenous species, alteration of ecosystem dynamics, and the threat to the complexity and resilience of the local ecosystem. Invasive species are more likely to settle in disturbed or degraded habitats and can further compound human-induced impacts such as over-harvesting or physical damage. Research and monitoring efforts are essential to provide early detection and warning of the arrival of introduced species, as well as to equip managers with a better understanding of the impacts of introduced species on coral reef ecosystems. This understanding must be complemented with on-site action plans for managers to stem the introduction and expansion of introduced species on coral reefs and related ecosystems.
In early 2005 a capacity-building workshop was held for a team of specialists in the Seychelles to learn about detection and monitoring procedures for introduced species in ports and coral reef environments. A full baseline survey was then undertaken in Port Victoria and Sainte Anne Marine National Park and samples were sent to international taxonomic experts for analysis.
IUCN's role is project coordination, management, administration, and technical supervision; responsible for a series of workshops to train environmental and research staff to detect and monitor invasive species in the port and on coral reefs of the Seychelles; and responsible for information dissemination and increasing local and regional awareness of the issue.
The final component of this project is an awareness campaign to increase knowledge about the problems associated with marine introduced species, distribute the results of the surveys in the Seychelles, and discuss strategies for managing introduced species in the Seychelles.
This campaign will take place during the 8th until the 18th August on Mahe Island. For more information please use the menu on the left to learn about the campaign.

IUCN and Malaga regional council ally to protect the Alboran Sea
22 September 2009 | International news release
The new Collaboration Agreement with the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation, adopted in plenary by Malaga regional council, advocates for the protection and conservation of the Alboran Sea in cooperation with Andalusia, Morocco and Algeria.
On Monday 21 September 2009, measures envisaged in this international cooperation initiative were presented in Malaga, along with the participation of Malaga's regional Council, member of IUCN in projects at European and international level for a better official protection of key marine areas and the promotion of more sustainable fishing methods.
The meeting which took place last April in Morocco between governments, researchers, and NGOs with the support of the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation, resulted in the Oujda Declaration, in which the three countries bordering the Alboran Sea decided to build a collaboration platform for the development of actions for the conservation and sustainable development of the Alboran Sea.
As it is the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea and the point of contact between Africa and Europe, The Alboran Sea is a very unique maritime area. Furthermore, it is a path which must be taken by many migratory animals (land and marine) and the route for maritime transport between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The Alboran Sea is considered to be an area of great geopolitical, strategic and scientific importance, and additionally, it is the dynamic motor for the biodiversity of the western Mediterranean, given the importance of its ecosystems and biodiversity. For all these reasons, the Alboran Sea is an area which deserves to be protected and well managed.
Important issues such as national and international law applicable in the area, unsustainable practices of some fishing techniques with the depletion of marine resources, or mass tourism in costal areas, are aspects that the three countries are addressing to implement measures so as to ensure the health and management of natural resources this sea contains.

What's next for PETA and video games?
Was Link somehow unkind to Epona? Is it okay to shoot those killer attack dogs in Call of Duty: World at War? Does a Wookie count as an animal?
gamesindustry.biz reports what GamePolitics readers may have already surmised: Advocacy group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is finding that video game controversies are a terrific way to stir up publicity for their cause. An unnamed PETA spokesperson told gi.biz:
We use games to highlight the cruelty to animals because they appeal to people who are interested but may be turned off by more direct appeals… We first turned to videogames years ago in an effort to reach out to young guys, but as we dug deeper, we realised that the gaming audience was much bigger and more diverse than we had initially thought. Given the huge success that we've had with Super Chick Sisters and Mama Kills Animals, we will definitely be creating many, many more games.
We plan on continuing to use videogames as a way of engaging the public, both by continuing to create our own games and by engaging with gaming companies, as we did when we approached Sega with the request that it not use apes in its adverts. Gaming, both casual and hardcore, is on the rise, and we recognise that as a medium, gaming is as important as music, movies, and television.
We're not taking aim at Majesco specifically, or the Mama character. We only want to raise awareness that the world – be it real or virtual – is very meaty. We want everyone, including Majesco, to offer more cruelty-free, vegetarian options…
Our game isn't an attack on the videogame industry. It's an attack on the meat industry. We love games (that's why we've created so many), and we love the Cooking Mama series."
GP: Like many other advocacy groups, PETA is using games to deliver its message. What's fascinating, however, is that they have also trained their sites onto games.

Using Zimbra 5.0.8, Leopard, and the current iSync connector.
After installing the iSync connector, the option to sync calendars via iSync is not appearing. Only the CalDAV option appears. Any ideas?
Using Zimbra 5.0.8, Leopard, and the current iSync connector.
After installing the iSync connector, the option to sync calendars via iSync is not appearing. Only the CalDAV option appears. Any ideas?
That's correct. CalDav is the standard for accessing calendaring data. We really try hard not to tie our users into a proprietary protocol/format.
Sync Services is Mac only. CalDav is multi platform. The way it used to work was through our Soap interface, but now it's all standards based.
Thanks for the response. Can I ask a couple of clarifying questions?
(assuming one is sync'ing calendars only and not contacts)
As far as I can tell, it seems like the connector now just twiddles iCal so that it subscribes to the server's calendars via CalDAV and doesn't actually do any iSync stuff itself. Is that true?
The place where I get a little fuzzy is that there is now a "refresh calendars every N minutes" setting in iCal and and a "Sync every N minutes" in the connector. What exactly is the iSync connector syncing when that value is set to something other than "manual" if iCal is doing all of the work to pull/push CalDAV entries?
-- dNb
P.S. And if you want to answer a bonus question: contacts are still sync'd over SOAP, right?
We have started a Zimbra migration and one of the reasons why we are moving to Zimbra is because of intergration with iCal if it can't sync with the local calendar store it is going to be useless to us. When accepting appointments Apple Mail it doesn't put them in the Caldav Calendar, it doesn't even give me the option to put it there unless I drag and drop the isc file into the Caldav Calendar.
It appeared you were able to sync local calendars for a long time until Mac OS X 10.5 is there a fix coming or am I going to need to figure out some other way for my users to manage their calendar outside of the Web Client?
This really has absolutely nothing to do with Apple Mail. Basically, if the calendar exists on the server (with appointments, etc), it will exist in iCal via CalDav.
Maybe I wasn't being too clear in Tiger 10.4.11 I can sync the local calendars in iCal with Zimbra in 10.5.4 I can't, I can only do it over CalDav. I need to be able to sync the local calendars. Is that a bug with iCal or a bug with the Zimbra iSync plugin?
As I am trying to find a viable solution for an exec who manages other people's calendars, I've come across at least 2 issues using CalDav and it's incorporation into Zimbra one 1 test users calendar. I am running 5.0.8.
1. If I'm on a Mac running Leopard, and I change the reminder of an existing appointment within iCal (it is using CalDav), the web client entry of this same appointment will change the reminder time as well. The issue is that the Web Client entry will not pop up a reminder, but the iCal entry will.
2. The other issue I've noticed is that in iCal I can't use find a location to actually reserve a conference room or set the location correctly in a Calendar Entry. It doesn't register on the web client entry as having reserved a location for a meeting.
If I'm a Mac OS Tiger user and the latest Zimbra products for Mac use CalDav, will I be able to use the latest Zimbra Mac related products?
Echoing Dan's request. I just assisted one of our customers with this exact issue today. I installed the iSync connector. Only CalDAV shows up as an option (as expected). I select that and do a sync. The customer already has three calendars in her iCal, all of them put into one group. I would've expected the iSync connector to sync all the calendars to her Zimbra account on our server, but it doesn't. However, if I create an entry in her Zimbra calendar, it does sync it to a new "Calendar" entry in iCal (the default Zimbra calendar) from her Zimbra account. Her already existing iCal calendars use the MobileMe service.
Subscribing to the published webcal: links for those calendars, I was able to get them into her Zimbra account, but if I don't do it that way, they don't sync to her Zimbra account. Why? What am I missing here?

Last year, CH2M Hill, the Englewood, Colorado-based global engineering firm, hired 400 people in the Middle East alone.
The company has been steadily expanding its reach worldwide, and much of its growth is coming from emerging markets. The $6.4 billion global engineering company has more than 30,000 employees and has managed projects in 149 countries.
To meet growth goals, the talent management team has to be able to quickly source foreign employees. But it's not easy, says Nicole Guiet, the company's talent acquisition director.
Guiet oversees talent management efforts from Alaska to Argentina, and has found that each part of the world has its own recruiting culture. "There are labor shortages everywhere," she says. "And the recruiting techniques that work in the U.S. don't necessarily work around the globe."
The disconnect between local and international recruiting techniques is making it difficult for many HR executives to keep up with their companies' pressing need for global talent acquisition. And executives are getting frustrated.
According to a recent study by the Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of KPMG titled Rethinking Human Resources in a Changing World, 3 out of 4 executives say their workforce is becoming increasingly global, but just 1 in 4 believe their HR teams excel at sourcing and retaining international talent.
And while more than 80 percent of executives say that putting in place an effective talent management strategy is key to their success, just 24 percent believe their HR team is able to support their globalization strategy.
"Executives are beginning to realize that the only thing that can't be cloned by the competition is a deep talent bench," says Tim Payne, partner and European HR director for KPMG in London.
HR professionals have an important role to play in global talent acquisition, but they have to look beyond their tried-and-true local recruiting strategies to meet executive expectations. That means figuring out how to deal with the inconsistent education systems in many countries, along with limited talent pools, and fierce competition from global and local businesses for the best people.
And they need to recognize that they don't understand everything about how the local hiring culture functions, Payne says. "One of the reasons why it is so difficult for HR to support global business units is that simple global policies don't work."
KPMG experienced this problem when it launched a KPMG center in India where there is a constant battle for the best talent. Relying on its London recruiting strategy, KPMG set up a two-day assessment center in Delhi, but applicants wouldn't stick around.
"The process was too slow, and we lost good candidates to competitors," Payne says. "When we started listening to local experts, we changed our process to be in line with local norms, and it instantly became more effective."
Local experts are the best tool in this fight to improve global talent-acquisition strategies, Guiet adds.
At CH2M Hill, her team creates strategy reports for each country or region that define demographic information, including local hiring challenges, talent-pool availability, local and international competitors, common drivers to attract talent, and salary expectations.
Then they work with local recruiters to build a media plan that takes advantage of the best local recruiting strategies. "The key is admitting you don't have all the answers and being willing to listen to those who do," she says. "It's about going slow now so you can go fast later."

STARKVILLE, Miss. (ClarionLedger) -- Mississippi State University police have leads on three suspects in the slaying of a Madison transfer student, in what is believed to be the first on-campus shooting death in the school's history.
A "person of interest" identified by investigators in the fatal shooting of John Sanderson is believed to be one of the three suspects. He may have requested a ride to Jackson from students on campus Saturday night.
RELATED | Jackson State Univ. student from Atlanta killed after pool party
The suspects are not believed to be MSU students, university spokeswoman Maridith Geuder said.
Sanderson, 21, had transferred from Holmes Community College. He was shot multiple times "right outside" a dorm room on the first floor of Evans Hall, said Bill Kibler, vice president of student affairs.
Sanderson was pronounced dead at Oktibbeha County Hospital Regional Medical Center at 11:03 p.m., more than 40 minutes after his arrival at the hospital.
Investigators believe the shooting was isolated.
"This is the first time in our school's history that such a tragic incident has occurred, involving a student being shot on campus," MSU president Mark Keenum said Sunday morning. "Our campus is known as a safe place, and I want to assure students, parents, faculty and staff that it continues to be safe."
The shooting occurred shortly before 10 p.m. on Saturday. Footage from security cameras located at the entrances of Evans Hall, an all-male dormitory, also was obtained and was being used to help identify the suspects.
"There were witnesses to this incident," Kibler said. "There were those who were there who knew what was taking place."
MSU officials would not release specific details, including a potential motive and whether Sanderson knew the suspects.
Officials believe the suspects fled Starkville immediately after the shooting. They were last seen in a late-model blue Crown Victoria.
No footage or photos of the suspects have been released.
A 911 call was received at 9:54 p.m. from Evans Hall, where campus police responded at 9:55 p.m. An ambulance was dispatched at 9:56 p.m.
Staff members at the residence hall were unable to determine whether Sanderson had been shot or stabbed until police reached the scene. A gun was found on campus early Sunday morning, but Kibler would not provide the location of its discovery.
Twenty-four students living in rooms adjacent to the crime scene were relocated to other residence halls on campus. Residents were allowed to go inside Evans Hall early Sunday as crews cleaned the scene. Campus police manned each entrance to the dormitory.
The scene Saturday night, however, was much different.
"Everything was kind of hectic," said senior Templeton Hardy, a football player and resident at Evans Hall. "They wouldn't let people in. It was a bit of a surprise. You never would think something like this would happen on campus, especially in a dorm."
Each residence hall on campus requires three clearances to reach a dormitory room, Kibler said. An access card provides entrance to the facility before clearance is provided to particular building wings and individual rooms.
Visitors, however, can be escorted into any dormitory by other students who live in the facility.
Evans Hall is a four-floor facility on the northwest edge of campus. It houses mostly freshmen and some upperclassmen. The dormitory is described as a suite-style arrangement, with rooms facing out toward a courtyard. The building can house up to 288 students.
Some students expressed concern about their security following the shooting.
"I don't think it's really safe any more," Hardy said. "If something like that can happen, anything can happen."
MSU first alerted its estimated 20,424 students of a stabbing or shooting through its Maroon Alert system at 10:27 p.m. Saturday. The emergency alerts are sent via text message and also are displayed on the school's website.
Sanderson's family was notified at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday. His name was released to the public shortly after 10 a.m.
The Starkville Police Department, Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Department and Mississippi Highway Patrol are assisting campus police in the investigation.

If this were five years ago in the UFC, Saturday's card in Montreal would be UFC 154: Fully Loaded.
There are a whopping 13 fights, and a tiered progression with how to watch them – from a computer stream on the UFC's Facebook page, up to the FX cable network, and finally the big dogs on pay-per-view. Maybe Darren Elkins and Steven Siler weren't going to be walking out right before Georges St-Pierre's fight – but the opener on Facebook?
There has been a modicum of Twitter buzz over the placement of a pair of fighters at 3-0 in the UFC's featherweight division, but Elkins isn't too wrapped up in it.
"What can I do? That's something that's out of my hands," Elkins on Thursday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "The only thing I really can focus on is fighting. The rest is out of my control. I wish I was on FX or the main card, but that's done and over. All I can do is focus on the future."
The future for Elkins (14-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) or Siler (21-9 MMA, 3-0 UFC) could be quite bright if they walk out of Montreal's Bell Centre, site of UFC 154, after getting their hand raised. The winner will move to 4-0 in the UFC's featherweight division, and suddenly one of their names could be mentioned next to the likes of Ricardo Lamas, Erik Koch and Chan Sung Jung as potential challengers in the near future for the 145-pound title.
"I think the winner has a lot of momentum going into next year and will probably get a big fight (against) a big contender guy," Elkins said. "At least a Top 10 contender."
Elkins started his UFC career at lightweight, getting an 11th-hour call-up from the UFC to fight Duane Ludwig. But he could hardly show anyone what he had. After shooting for an early takedown against "Bang," Ludwig landed awkwardly, jacked up his leg and Elkins had a TKO victory in his debut.
But as quick as that win came, his follow-up ended just as quickly with a submission loss to Charles Oliveira. He dropped down to featherweight, and the results have been, essentially, through the roof – three wins, all upsets, including what turned into a fairly convincing win over Diego Brandao in May in his first fight after winning "The Ultimate Fighter." Considering Brandao had been compared to champion Jose Aldo, that wasn't too shabby.
At featherweight, Elkins might have some of the best wrestling in the division. He was a state champion in his native Indiana and continued his success at the collegiate level. Now it's all second nature.
"I've been wrestling since I was 4, so it's more a thing that's just a part of me now. It's toughened me mentally. You go through that daily grind (in wrestling) and you go through weight cuts and you've got to make it every week, instead of once every few months. Injuries year-round.
"You just deal with the things you can deal with, and mentally you're never out of anything – you've got to believe in yourself the whole time."
Against Siler, Elkins finally is a favorite in the UFC – although only slightly. He was nearly a 3-to-1 underdog to Brandao. And the oddsmakers figured he'd win more than he'd lose against Tiequan Zhang and Michihiro Omigawa. But he won both of those fights convincingly – where else, but on the Facebook prelims.
Still, it's not as if Elkins' path to 4-1 in the UFC and 3-0 at featherweight has been a walk-through. And that continues with another good test in Siler.
"I haven't had any easy fights – they give me tough fights," he said. "But you know what? That's what I'm here for. I'm here to fight. Sometimes, I'm a big underdog, but I believe in myself and I really don't care. I go out there and I fight. I'm happy with whoever they give me. I'm just happy to be back in the octagon fighting somebody."
With a win over Siler, that somebody could be the type of somebody that gets him right into the thick of the featherweight title mix.

Last month Chris Brown released the single "Don't Think They Know," which featured posthumous vocals from R&B sensation Aaliyah. The RCA Records digital single follows "Enough Said," a 2012 track Drake recorded, also made with unheard Aaliyah vocals tracks.
The late singer's mentor, Norfolk, Virginia producer/artist Timbaland recently spoke his opinion on these tracks to Revolt TV. "In music, people always say, 'I would do a song with Aaliyah.' It would never work," said Tim, who produced the bulk of Aaliyah's 1996 sophomore album, One In A Million, and two singles from her 2001 self-titled third LP. "A lot of these rappers out here are awful. Chris Brown got a record [with Aaliyah]; it won't work. Drake could do a record with Aaliyah; it ain't going to work." To the Roc Nation Records artist and founder of Mosley Music Group, there is only one logical pairing. "Aaliyah music only works with its soul-mate, which is me."
In 2012, Tim, along with another of Aaliyah's mentors and fellow VA artist, Miss Elliott, spoke out against a reported Drake-executive-produced Aallyah LP. Incidentally, Timbaland has worked with both Drake and Chris Brown, on Thank Me Later and F.A.M.E., respectively.
Additionally, Timbaland confirmed a music reunion with one of his former emcee collaborators. "I told [Jay-Z], the person who gets me from Hip Hop, now, their album's gonna be phenomenal. And that's Nas." In 1999, Tim worked on both Nas' albums, I Am... and Nastradamus. On the latter, Tim laced the single "You Owe Me."
