Boney M singer Bobby Farrell dies at 61



The charismatic frontman of Boney M, Bobby Farrell, has died on tour in St Petersburg after finishing a gig despite medical concerns.

The 61-year-old, who brought the Caribbean carnival tradition of his native Aruba to western pop, had complained of breathing problems before and after the show.

His agent, John Seine, said that "heart problems, shortage of breath and problems with his stomach" had plagued the performer for 10 years, but had never dented his love of performing live. A natural showman, Farrell made slick dance routines and exotic costumes as much a part of Boney M appearances as the music.

The most famous person to come out of Aruba – a tiny island nation which along with Curacao and Sint Maarten are part of the Netherlands – he towered over the women who took the other three places in the group. His signing in 1975 gave a new lease of life to an odd collective, which primarily performed to music pre-recorded by the German singer and composer Frank Farian.

Farrell was seldom involved in studio recordings of the group's many hits such as Rivers of Babylon and Brown Girl in the Ring. His forte was live performance, when his sometimes ragged voice worked well and his movements were a whirl of bare midriff, tight bell-bottoms, huge afro hair-do and spidery reach and height.

"I like to look good on stage and to release all my energy in my shows," he said on his website recently. "The energy in my music has no limit. I want people to feel entertained and to hear the love that I have for creating music, translated into my songs."

Farrell was involved in a succession of dramatic splits and makeups with Farian, leaving the group more than once after allegations of unreliability. But his career continually reignited after initial stardom in the 1970s, and he barnstormed the international concert circuit in the 1990s and the first decade of this century.

"He was a fantastic person, quite bizarre," said Seine. "He had a big heart but he was also explosive."
Born Alfonso Farrell, he was brought up amid Aruba's rich musical combination of carnival songs and processions, mixed with religious ceremonies from the Dutch colonial era. He left school at 15 to work as a sailor, but jumped ship in Norway and set himself up as a DJ.

Modest success took him to Germany where he was spotted by Farian, who had invented Boney M as a pseudonym, taken from an Australian TV series. Music was Farian's strength but he needed a sexy and attention-catching cast to present curiosities such as Baby Do You Wanna Bump, which he recorded entirely himself in 1974, singing both deep bass and falsetto parts.

 Farrell proved his worth with Daddy Cool, which was Britain's number one for five weeks in 1978, the same year as Rivers of Babylon made the top spot. His own Boney M team played to wild acclaim up to his death, with an Abba-like repertoire of past golden hits to sing. Following tours of the United States, Colombia, Turkey, Finland and Slovakia, he was due to release a new album and tour Italy this spring.

He was found dead by staff at St Petersburg's Ambassador hotel after failing to respond to a wake-up call. A Dutch speaker, he lived near Amsterdam, where he leaves a son and a daughter.

Gbagbo atoa hotuba kupitia televisheni


 Mtu anayedhaniwa na wengi kwamba alishindwa katika uchaguzi wa urais uliofanyika hivi maajuzi nchini Ivory Coast rais wa sasa Laurent Gbagbo ametoa hotuba yake ya kwanza kwenye televisheni ya kitaifa akijitangaza kuwa yeye ndiye rais wa halali nchini humo.

Bwana Gbagbo alifutilia mbali uwezekano wa taifa hilo kurejea katika vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe, na kutoa wito wa kufanyika mazungumzo baina ya pande zote mbili, akipendekeza jopo litakalowashirikisha wapatanishi kutoka jamii ya kimataifa kusuluhisha mgogoro huo.

Lakini mpinzani wake Alassane Ouattara, ambaye ametambuliwa na jamii ya kimataifa kuwa ndiye aliyeshinda uchaguzi huo amejibu kwa kusema kuwa wamekuwa na mikutano kwa kipindi cha miaka mitano na hakuna yeyote aliyetilia shaka kuhusu ni nani aliyeshinda uchaguzi huo.

Wakati huo huo umoja wa mataifa umeonya kuhusu uwezekano wa kuzuka vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe nchini Ivory Coast na kuwashutumu wafuasi wa bwana Laurent Gbagbo kwa kuwasajili mamluki kutoka taifa jirani la Liberia kuzua vurugu nchini humo.

Katibu mkuu wa umoja huo, Ban Ki-moon, amesema mrengo wa bwana Gbagbo unajaribu kuwazuia wanajeshi wa kulinda amani wa umoja wa mataifa nchini humo, ambao wanamlinda mpinzani wake , Alessane Ouattara.

Bwana Ban amesema hali huenda ikawa mbaya zaidi katika siku kadhaa zijazo.

Alitoa wito kwa mataifa mengine kuusaidia ujumbe wa umoja wa mataifa nchini Ivory Coast.

Wiki mbili zilizopita rais wa Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, alisema kuwa wapiganaji wa zamani kutoka nchini mwake wametakiwa kushiriki katika mapambano nchini Ivory Coast.

Larry King exits CNN after 25 years


Marking the occasion with bright red suspenders, Larry King pulled the curtain down on his CNN talk show on Thursday after 25 years.
King, 77, said this summer he would leave. Once the dominant voice on cable television news, King has faded in a sea of sharp talkers. British talk-show host and "America's Got Talent" judge Piers Morgan takes over the 9 p.m. Eastern time slot in January.
"Good evening, and welcome to the last 'Larry King Live,'" he said as the show opened Thursday. "It's hard to say that. I knew this day was coming. These words are not easy to say."

He was joined at his table by Ryan Seacrest and Bill Maher, who have both filled in for King during breaks in the past. The first guest, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, declared it "Larry King Day" in his state and thanked King for doing his show from Los Angeles.

Maher tried not to let the show quickly become maudlin.
"This is not Larry's funeral," he said. "He's hopefully going to be in our living rooms for a lot of years to come. This is the end of a show, not the end of a man."

In a pre-taped segment, President Barack Obama called King "one of the giants of broadcasting."
King appears to be beloved by his news-media peers.

"We are your groupies, your proteges, your Pips — as Gladys would say," said ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, referring to the soul combo Gladys Knight and Pips.

Elizabeth Edwards' oldest daughter eulogizes mom


Hundreds of family and friends gathered Saturday to honor the life of Elizabeth Edwards, who has been praised for her strength amid a series of life tragedies that included the death of a son, a betrayal by her husband and a battle with cancer that eventually led to her death.

The funeral was held at Edenton Street United Methodist, a Raleigh church that Edwards turned to after her 16-year-old son Wade died in a car crash in 1996. She was to be buried later in the day alongside her son during a private ceremony.

Speakers recalled Edwards as a woman filled with energy, intellect and humor. They joked they had trouble coming up with what to say without the woman who used to leave notes of advice for those close to her.
"There aren't words that are good enough," said daughter Cate Edwards, whose eulogy contained a passage from a letter her mother spent years preparing to leave to her children after she was gone.

"I've loved you in the best ways I've known how," the letter said. "All I ever really needed was you, your love, your presence, to make my life complete."

John Edwards, her estranged husband, did not speak. The couple had four children together, including 12-year-old Emma Claire and 10-year-old Jack.

Top 10 States People are Fleeing


The slowdown makes the question of who's moving and why even more significant than in years past. Using 2010 projections by Moody's Economy.com, Forbes ranked the states in which people are leaving faster than they are arriving. Economists report several overlapping trends that may be forcing people out of certain states as much as they are pulling them toward others.

At No.1 on our list, New York is expected to wave goodbye to 49,000 more people than it gains this year. The state has seen a steady loss of residents over the past five years, losing an average of 100,000 people per year. Karp explains that, because New York is a large state, it may report greater movement than others, but notes that population size is not the only reason residents are fleeing.

"In order to move, you need to be able to sell your home," says Karp. "The housing market [in New York] has not gone through the meltdown that other states have gone through."

While New York homeowners may have a slightly easier time selling their homes and moving to greener pastures, a competing trend is the number of unemployed renters who can no longer afford the high cost of living in and around New York City. Karp says the expensive lifestyle and high taxes may force the long-term unemployed to move on to more affordable regions.

The Prairie State came in at No. 2. Illinois is expected to lose 27,000 people this year, consistent with its average annual loss over the last five years. The losses are likely linked to the state's economy and tax structure. Job losses in manufacturing and industrial machinery are likely pushing people out of the state, Karp says, adding that state taxes have also been "an issue" for many residents.

Midwestern states, in fact, are well-represented in the top-10 list. Nebraska (No. 4), Kansas (No. 5) and North Dakota (No. 9) are among the many central states projected to lose residents in 2010.

The movement may be related to broader structural changes. "For most of the decade people have been moving to the South and Southwest," says Kenneth Johnson, a demographer and professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire. He believes the trend is closely related to life cycle: Retirees are attracted to states with temperate climates, affordable costs of living, good health care and pretty scenery. For these reasons, Florida and Arizona are expected to receive an influx of hundreds of thousands of people this year.

At the same time, young people in search of jobs may move to the regions to work in services and high tech, says Karp. Texas and North Carolina are home to some of the largest public companies in the country, like Exxon Mobil and Bank of America, and are also among the top-five most attractive states this year.

10 Jobs That Offer a Big Bang For Your Buck


While we usually talk about ROI in business, return on investment applies to your career, too. If you spend years studying to prepare for a profession, you want to get paid accordingly. If you put in the time to train, you want to be compensated in your paycheck.

But what if you're not interested in earning a master's degree or Ph.D? What if you'd prefer to keep your studying and training to a minimum, and still bring home the bacon?

Lucky for you, not all high-paying jobs require years of preparation. On our list of 50 Best Careers, 10 jobs stand out as offering excellent return on investment--higher-than-average paychecks in return for relatively little education and training.

Actuary: After earning a bachelor's degree, likely with a finance or math concentration, actuaries bring in a median annual salary of $87,000. They're also required to earn a certificate by passing a series of exams.

Biomedical engineer: These workers earn a median annual salary of nearly $79,000 but need only a bachelor's degree, usually in mechanical or electronics engineering. Biomedical engineer ranks highest of all professions on the Labor Department's growth projections, with an expected 72 percent increase in the number of jobs available between 2008 and 2018.

Computer software engineer: With a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, computer software engineers bring in a median salary of $87,000 a year. For more complex jobs, a master's degree may be required, but the real gold standard is in-depth knowledge of programming languages. Employment is expected to swell by a whopping 295,200 jobs, or more than 32 percent, between 2008 and 2018.

Court reporter: After completing a two-year training program and earning a state certification, court reporters make a median salary of $48,000 annually. With a specialized certification, such as registered diplomate reporter, certified legal video specialist, or certified broadcast captioner, income can be even higher.

Dental hygienist: With an associate's degree and license, dental hygienists earn a median annual salary of $67,000. About 300 accredited dental hygiene programs throughout the country offer the necessary degree.

Financial analyst: Seek out a bachelor's degree in finance, business administration, accounting, statistics, or economics, and this profession will offer you a median annual paycheck of $74,000. That includes bonuses, which can make up a large chunk of total earnings. Financial analysts sometimes need a license, but that process is often sponsored by their employer.

Askofu Malasusa apata ushindi wa kishindo KKKT- DMP


MKUTANO mkuu wa 30 wa Dayosisi ya Mashariki na Pwani (DMP) ya Kanisa la Kiinjili la Kilutheri Tanzania (KKKT) umemchagua Askofu Alex Malasusa kuingoza tena dayosisi hiyo hadi atakapostaafu utumishi wa kanisa hilo. Askofu Malasusa, ambaye pia ni mkuu wa KKKT nchini, alichaguliwa kwa kura ya imani iliyopigwa juzi jioni, mwanzoni mwa mkutano huo ambao ulitanguliwa na madai ya kuwepo njana za kumuhujumu kiongozi huyo.

Madai ya hujuma yalibainishwa Novemba 23 mwaka huu wakati Msaidizi wa Askofu, Mchungaji George Fupe alipowaeleza waandishi kuwa kuna kikundi cha watu wanaojiita waumini wa kanisa hilo ambao alidai kuwa walikuwa wakifanya njama za kuhujumu mkutano huo kwa kutumia magazeti.

Kwa mujibu wa Mchungaji Fupe, Halmashauri Kuu ya KKKT-DMP iliyokutana Novemba 18, 2010 iligundua kwamba hoja zinazoandikwa katika magazeti ya Kiswahili moja la kila siku (siyo Mwananchi) na jingine la kila wiki yanayomilikiwa na kampuni moja, “zinalenga kuvuruga na kuchafua maandalizi ya mkutano mkuu wa 30 wa Dayosisi”. Katika mkutano unaoendelea mjini Bagamoyo ambao una ajenda 14, uchaguzi ulikuwa ajenda ya mwisho lakini utarabu huo ulibadilika baada ya hoja iliyotolewa na mmoja wa wajumbe ya kutaka zipigwe kura za imani (uchaguzi) kabla ya kuendelea na ajenda nyingine.

Habari kutoka Chuo cha Maendeleo ya Uongozi wa Elimu (ADEM) mjini Bagamoyo ambako mkutano huo unafanyika, zinasema kuwa baada ya ajenda ya kwanza ya kuhakiki akidi ya wajumbe wa mkutano, mmoja wa wajumbe alitoa hoja kutaka mabadiliko ya mtiririko wa ajenda.

“Mjumbe aliyetoa hoja hiyo alitaka mkutano mkuu uthibitishe, kukubaliana au kutokubaliana na tamko la Halmashauri ya Dayosisi lililotolewa kwenye sharika na kwenye vyombo vya habari kuhusu kuwepo kwa njama za kuhujumiwa kwa mkutano,” kilieleza chanzo chetu kutoka ndani ya mkutano huo. “Hoja ya kutaka kura zipigwe mapema ilitolewa kwa maelezo kwamba ni kumwezesha mwenyekiti wa mkutano (ambaye ni Askofu Malasusa) kuendesha kikao akiwa na amani na wajumbe wote na kama kulikuwa na wanaompinga, pia wawe na amani baada ya uchaguzi kufanyika.” Kwa mujibu wa habari hizo, hoja hiyo ilizua mjadala miongoni mwa wajumbe kabla ya kuafikiana kufanya mabadiliko ya ajenda hivyo kura za imani zilipigwa na Askofu Malasusa kupata ushindi mkubwa. Katika uchaguzi huo, Askofu Malasusa alipata kura za imani 256 sawa na asilimia 96.6 ya wajumbe 265 waliokuwepo. Wajumbe nane hawakupiga kura na mjumbe mmoja alipiga kura ya kutokuwa upande wowote.

Elizabeth Edwards told not to treat spreading cancer

Via USA Today

Elizabeth Edwards, announced Monday that her cancer has taken a turn for the worse and has now spread to her liver.

Edwards, 61, the estranged wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. Now, with cancer in her liver, her doctors have advised her not to undergo any more anti-cancer treatments, according to a family statement.

"For them to say that she is not strong enough to benefit from further treatment, that says to me that her disease is far advanced and she is facing the end of her life," says Ira Byock, director of palliative medicine at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, who has no personal knowledge of Edwards' case.

Doctors say it's hard to predict how long someone in Edwards' situation will survive, especially without knowing details of her case.

But patients in this condition rarely live past six to 12 months, says Hal Burstein, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

On average, breast cancer patients survive about three to four years after their cancer first metastasizes, Burstein says. It has been three years since Edwards revealed that her breast cancer has spread to her bones, in 2007.

Although early breast tumors are usually curable, and doctors have made great strides in prolonging the lives of women with advanced disease, metastatic breast cancer is not considered curable, Burstein says.

Elizabeth Edwards died yesterday in her Chapel Hill home at the age of 61 - R.I.P

Despite claims that she could last a year or more, Elizabeth Edwards died yesterday in her Chapel Hill home at the age of 61. She had fought a 6 year battle with breast cancer and was recently told to stop treatments as that cancer had spread to her liver and other organs and was no longer treatable. She died with her family at her side.

Edwards made a name for herself standing behind her husband, John Edwards, as he ran for Vice President and President on two occasions. Both times were unsuccessful attempts but Mrs. Edwards was a constant companion through those times, working the behind the scenes life and even taking the podium for her husband on occasion.

there were revelations. John Edwards had carried on an affair with a younger woman and fathered a child while his wife attended her cancer treatments and cared for their children. This would be the end of his political career and the end of their marriage.

Mrs. Edwards emerged from the public breakup of the marriage a hero. She became an author and speaker and traveled the country speaking to cancer groups and women’s groups to give them strength.
The cancer that she was fighting went into early remission during the run for Vice President. However, the cancer returned during the run for President but she remained on the trail, taking her chemotherapy drugs while on the road and continuing to fight for her estranged husband.

Mkapa ataka katiba mpya

RAIS mstaafu wa awamu ya tatu, Benjamin Mkapa, amevunja ukimya baada ya kusema ili kuzuia mifarakano ya kisiasa kwa nchi wanachama wa Jumuia ya Afrika Mashariki, zinahitaji kuwa na Katiba mpya, ikiwemo Tanzania.

Mkapa alisema hayo katika Mkutano Mkuu wa Chama cha Wanasheria wa jumuiya uliofanyika mjini Bujumbura nchini Burundi, mwezi uliopita.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya Rais Mkapa, iliyosomwa kwa niaba yake na Balozi Liberata Mulamula, njia pekee ya kuondokana na migogoro ya kisiasa kila nchi inapaswa kuwa na Katiba mpya ambayo itaainisha mambo yote ya msingi.

Alisema kama nchi wanachama zikiwa na Katiba mpya mambo mengi yanaweza kufanikiwa, lakini yameshindikana kutokana na nchi hizo kuendelea kutumia Katiba zilizorithi kutoka kwa wakoloni.
Alisema kumekuwa na malalamiko mengi kutokana na chaguzi nyingi toka kwa wanachama jinsi zinavyoendeshwa, huku shutuma na lawama nyingi zikielekezwa kwenye Katiba zilizopo.

Alisema Katiba zilizopo zimekuwa zikipendelea zaidi upande mmoja ambao unampa uhuru rais kuamua kila kitu.

Alisema uundwaji wa Katiba, lazima uendane na hali halisi, mahitaji ya kijiografia, kijamii na kisiasa.
“Tunakabiliwa na mtihani mkubwa wa kuunganisha umoja wetu wa kitaifa… kuna baadhi wamegusia juu ya matatizo yetu ya kisiasa na baadhi yetu tunafikiri kuwa siku ya kuadhimisha uhuru ni kilele cha kujenga umoja wetu wa kitaifa… uhuru wetu wa Katiba tulizonazo ni ushahidi wa dhuluma hii.
“…hatuna Katiba zingine zaidi ya zile ambazo tumezirithi kutoka kwa wakoloni, Katiba ambazo hazina umakini, tunahitaji mpya,” alisema.

*Rais Kikwete atuma salamu za rambirambi 

MTOTO wa kwanza wa Rais mstaafu wa Zanzibar, Alhaji Aboud Jumbe, Dk. Suleiman Aboud Jumbe (62) amefariki dunia nchini India.
 
Dk. Suleiman alifariki dunia Jumatatu wiki hii nchini humo alikokwenda kumsindikiza baba yake Rais mstaafu Jumbe kwa ajili ya matibabu. Haikufahamika mara moja chanzo cha kifo chake, na mwili wake ulitarajiwa kuwasili Zanzibar jana kwa mazishi. Kutokana na kifo hicho, Rais Jakaya Kikwete, amemtumia rambirambi Mzee Jumbe kutokana na kifo hicho cha ghafla cha mtoto wake.
 
Dk. Suleiman alifariki katika Hoteli ya MDS Lodge iliyoko Sarita Vihar mjini New Delhi,  ambako alikuwa amefikia kwa ajili ya matibabu ya baba yake katika Hospitali ya Apollo. Kwa mujibu wa habari kutoka Ubalozi wa Tanzania nchini India, alifariki dunia akiwa chumbani kwenye hoteli hiyo aliyofikia na mwili wake utarajiwa kuwasili jana kwa ndege. Katika rambirambi zake, Rais Kikwete alisema: Nashindwa kuelezea kiasi cha majonzi na huzuni niliyopata baada ya kutaarifiwa kuhusu kifo cha ghafla cha mwanao, Dk.

Chadema chamlima barua Zitto, wabunge tisa

SAKATA la wabunge wa Chadema kutoka nje ya ukumbi wa Bunge wakati Rais Jakaya Kikwete akihutubia, limechukua sura mpya baada ya chama hicho kuwaandikia barua wabunge ambao hawakushiriki akiwemo Zitto Kabwe, kuwataka waeleze sababu za kutoonekana.

Uamuzi huo umetolewa takribani siku 20, baada ya Chadema kudhihirisha msimamo wa kutotambua matokeo ya uchaguzi ya urais kwa kutoka nje ya ukumbi wa Bunge na kususia sherehe za kuapishwa kwa Mizengo Pinda kuwa Waziri Mkuu, katika hafla iliyofanyika Ikulu ndogo ya Chamwino mkoani Dodoma.

Akizungunza na Mwananchi jana, Mnadhimu wa Kambi ya Upinzani bungeni, Tundu Lissu alisema wabunge 10 kati ya 13 ndio wanaotakiwa kujieleza na kwamba, hatua hiyo imefikiwa baada ya kwenda kinyume na maamuzi ya pamoja ya chama na kutotoa taarifa yoyote ya kutokuwepo kwao bungeni.

“Tunachotaka kujua kwa wabunge hawa kumi ni kwamba, kwa nini hawakuja katika kikao cha Bunge siku hiyo,’’ alifahamisha Lissu na kuongeza:
“ Hatua hii imefikiwa baada ya wabunge hao kwenda kinyume na maamuzi ya chama pamoja na kutotoa taarifa ya kutohudhuria kwao’’.Hata hivyo, Lissu alisema bado hawajawakabidhi rasmi barua hizo, lakini zipo katika hatua ya mwisho na kwamba watakabidhiwa wakati wowote kuanzia sasa.

Aliwataja wabunge hao kuwa ni Zitto Kabwe (Kigoma Kaskazini) ambaye ni Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa chama hicho, Said Arfi (Mpanda Mjini) ambaye ni Naibu Mwenyekiti Taifa wa chama hicho, Mhonga Luhwanya (Viti Maalum), Jonh Shibuda (Maswa Magharibi), Maulida Komu (Viti Maalum).

Wengine ni Profesa Kulikoyele Kahingi,(Bukombe),  Rachel Mashishanga(Viti Maalum), Raya Ibrahimu(Viti Maalum), Lucy Owenya (Viti Maalum) na Suzan Lyimo(Viti Maalum).

“Lakini wabunge John Mnyika (Ubungo) na Halima Mdee (Kawe), walitoa udhuru kwamba walikuwa wanaumwa na Philemon Ndesamburo (Moshi Vijijini) alikuwa safarini. Hawa hawatapewa barua ya kujieleza, ’’ alisema Lissu.

Lissu ambaye pia ni Mkurugenzi wa Sheria na Haki za Binadamu wa Chadema, alifahamisha kuwa kitendo hicho kikiachwa bila kukemewa, ingeondoa umuhimu wa vikao vya chama na maamuzi.

 10 mistakes people make with heat

Even with a constant flow of information about energy efficiency, homeowners make major heating mistakes that end in higher electric bills and larger environmental footprints.
Here are 10 of those errors, with the cause and effect of each decision.

1. Maintaining a constant temperature

Cause: A persistent myth suggests that you can save energy by leaving the house at a comfortable 68 degrees (a widely recommended winter setting), even when you are sleeping or away at work.
The idea is that it takes more energy for the furnace to reach a comfortable temperature than to maintain that temperature.

Effect: You could miss out on significant potential energy savings by not using a programmable thermostat and adjusting the temperature overnight and during the workday.
Though the impacts of adjusting the thermostat vary based on your climate and other factors, studies show that knocking the temperature down by 10 degrees for eight hours per day can cut heating bills by 5 to 15 percent.
Sure, the furnace will cycle on for a longer period to return to the more comfortable temperature, but it will be far outweighed by hours of savings when it didn't have to work as hard.

2. Cranking up the temperature to warm up the house

Cause: You come home in the middle of the day to a cold house. You want to warm back up to 68 ASAP, so you crank the dial up to 78 to get the furnace working harder and faster.

Effect: No time is saved in reheating the house. Most furnaces pump out heat at the same rate no matter the temperature. They just cycle on for a longer period to reach a higher temperature.
The furnace will take the same amount of time to return to 68 degrees regardless of the thermostat setting. By cranking up the thermostat, you are likely to overheat the house past 68 degrees and waste energy. Just reset the thermostat to 68, make some hot chocolate, and wait.

3. Closing off vents in unused rooms

Cause: You don't want to waste energy heating rooms you aren't using.

Effect: Again, this just wastes energy and makes your furnace run inefficiently because it changes the air pressure in the whole system.

Best LCD TV deals to happen after Black Friday


Ultra-low prices for flat screen LCD TVs are typical for Black Friday. But this year, the best deals are expected to come even later in the holiday season and into early 2011.

The average price for a 42-inch LCD TV is forecast to be $626 this quarter, but the price is expected to fall below $600 in the beginning of next year before rising again, according to NPD Group. Prices for 52-inch LCD TVs are expected to drop by $120 on average during the same time period.

"The prices out there now are very aggressive and attractive, but there will be fire sale-like prices on Black Friday and even further price reductions after Black Friday," said Riddhi Patel, director of television systems and retail services at iSuppli Corp. "The TV market has slowed down, and there's no indication of it turning around."

America is an "LCD TV recession," with sales falling for six months in a row, said Brian White, analyst at Ticonderoga Securities.

Experts say the lack of demand for LCD TVs is due in part to a high rate of penetration of flat screen TVs in homes. About 56% of U.S. households already have an HDTV, according to Yankee Group.

Sales soared in previous years as people swapped out their old standard-definition tubes for flat screen HDTVs. Even during the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009, flat screens remained a hot buy, with double digit sales growth during the past two holiday seasons, NPD Group found. But now that most Americans own an LCD TV, there's less incentive to purchase them.

Also, new TV offerings haven't given consumers much reason to buy one. Internet-connected TVs and 3D TVs are expensive, difficult to use and require awkward accessories like keyboard-remotes or 3D glasses. Backlit LED TVs are thinner with a crisper picture, but they're not so much of an improvement that consumers who just bought an LCD TV will be willing to upgrade quite yet.

Despite slumping sales, prices have hardly budged this year, and cash-strapped consumers have been holding out for costs to drop.

The scales finally tipped in the buyer's favor in October, with prices falling significantly -- 7% -- for the first time in 2010, NPD said. That is expected to become a trend, with great deals advertised for Black Friday.
But experts don't think LCD TVs will fly off the shelves as a result of good Black Friday deals. LCD TVs only landed at No. 7 on the Consumer Electronics Association's survey of top wish-list gadgets for the holidays, down from No. 3 last year. Ahead of HDTVs are multi-function items like laptops (No. 1), iPads (No. 2), e-readers (No. 3) and video game systems (No. 5).

Chadema wasusia hotuba ya Rais JK Bungeni

Wabunge wa chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) leo wamesusia hotuba ya Rais Kikwete wakati alipokaribishwa na Spika wa Bunge la jamhuri ya muungano kulifungua Bunge hilo.

Hata hivyo, wakati wabunge hao wa CHADEMA wakiongozwa na Kiongozi wa Kambi ya Upinzani Bungeni na Mwenyekiti Taifa wa chama hicho, Freeman Mbowe, wenzao wa vyama vingine waliwazomea, huku wakishangilia kwa kupiga meza na kuimba CCM, CCM, CCM.

 Pia, wabunge wengine wa CCM pamoja na wale wa CUF, walihamia kwenye viti vilivyokuwa vimekaliwa na wabunge hao wa CHADEMA.

 CHADEMA wametangaza kutotambua matokeo yaliyompa ushindi Rais Kikwete na mpango wao wa kutoka nje wa Bunge, ulibainika mapema juzi.
