Yet Another Big Free Roanoke Times Democrat Ad

Roanoke Times, 9/1/09, Pg 15, free political ad:
Think local, vote for Democrats
Half-inch high title and nine by eight inch article with heartwarming accolades about Creigh Deeds including a most flattering picture and lots of negatives for those really bad GOP guys.
-
What does a political ad like this cost? And does this donation by the Roanoke Time to the Deeds for Governor Committee have to be claimed as a campaign contribution and if not, why not?
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2009/07/political-ads-replace-news.html
-
We can hardly wait for the Editorial Staff of the RT to tell us that they’re not endorsing anyone for Governor because they want to be fair and balanced!

DIABY MISTAKE GAVE UNITED A VICTORY AT OLD TRAFORD 2-1OVER ARSENAL

Arsene Wenger was sent from the dug-out in fury after Abou Diaby's own goal gifted Manchester United victory at Old Trafford and wrecked Arsenal's flawless start to the new season.
Arsenal were on course for a fifth successive victory in domestic and European combat when Andrey Arshavin's magical finish gave them the advantage over the Premier League champions just before the interval.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side had struggled to make any impact against Arsenal's resilient rearguard - but the shape of the game altered dramatically in the space of five minutes around the hour mark. Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia needlessly fouled Wayne Rooney after 59 minutes to allow the England striker to equalise from the penalty spot.
And the transformation in the game and the atmosphere inside Old Trafford was complete when Diaby, in a moment from his nightmares, headed Ryan Giggs' free-kick into his own goal in front of an ecstatic Stretford End.
Arsenal were shattered as their previous good work was squandered and boss Wenger's misery was complete when he was sent from his technical area by referee Mike Dean for kicking away a plastic bottle in frustration when Robin van Persie's injury-time strike was ruled out for offside.
United keeper Ben Foster was culpable when he allowed Arshavin's 25-yard shot to fly in, but he was the hero when he prevented Arsenal taking what could have been an unassailable two-goal lead just after half-time as he blocked Van Persie from six yards when he seemed certain to score.
Van Persie also struck the bar before Diaby's calamitous own goal as a highly-anticipated encounter finally sparked into life after the break.
Ferguson surprisingly left Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen on the bench and opted for width in the shape of Nani and Antonio Valencia - a formation that failed to trouble Arsenal in a disjointed first 45 minutes for the champions.
Much rested on the shoulders of Rooney, and he almost fashioned an early breakthrough when he set up Darren Fletcher in the fourth minute, but the Scotland midfield man failed to find the target from 10 yards.
Arsenal were able to re-introduce Van Persie and Arshavin to their starting line-up after the midweek Champions League win against Celtic, and they posed the biggest threat to United in an opening period lacking in quality until the Russian's wonderful goal
.

Van Persie created a chance for himself inside the area, but was blocked by Patrice Evra before Arshavin capped an eventful few seconds by giving Arsenal a lead they just about deserved five minutes before the interval.
Arsenal had clear penalty claims rejected by referee Dean when Fletcher appeared to handle when he challenged Arshavin in the area - but as play progressed the little striker stunned Old Trafford by regaining possession and unleashing a rising angled drive from 25 yards that flew beyond Foster.
It was a moment of joy for Arsenal and Arshavin, but miserable for England keeper Foster, who should have done much better after getting his hand on the ball.
Foster went some way towards making amends for his mistake two minutes after the restart, making a vital block with his leg as Van Persie stole in on more wonderful work from Arshavin inside the area.

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia was the central figure when United equalised after 59 minutes, making an ill-judged dash from his line and felling Rooney as he went away from goal. Rooney recovered to send Almunia the wrong way from the spot and United's hopes were revived.
Referee Dean took the unusual - but correct - step of booking both Rooney and Wes Brown in the same incident as they hacked at Diaby. And Van Persie almost inflicted more punishment on United with a swerving free-kick that rebounded back off the bar with Foster beaten.
If Arsenal were knocked back by conceding a penalty, Wenger was beside himself in his technical area after 64 minutes when his side gifted United a second goal.
Giggs could only direct his free-kick on to the head of Diaby who, with no other player in close attendance, inexplicably directed a header past Almunia into his own net.
The setback understandably knocked the stuffing out of Arsenal and Wenger made a change after 78 minutes, sending on Eduardo for Denilson. The striker received a hostile reception from the Old Trafford crowd in the wake of the controversy over his alleged dive in the Champions League against Celtic.
But their hopes of restoring equality suffered a blow shortly after when Arshavin limped off after appearing to sustain a muscle injury as he chased Van Persie's through ball.
As Arsenal pushed for the equaliser, they predictably left spaces at the back and United almost cashed in. Substitute Berbatov slashed a shocking finish wide and Nani was denied by Almunia.
But Arsenal's mood was summed up by the sight of a disbelieving Wenger being dispatched from the technical area after he thought Van Persie had equalised, only to see his joy cut short by a linesman's flag. And the sight of Arsenal's manager being escorted towards the tunnel only increased the joy around Old Trafford as Manchester United celebrated a crucial three points.

ARSENAL YAMALIZA KAZI YASUBIRI VIBONDE WATAKAOPANGWA NAO KWENYE MAKUNDI 3-1 TOTAL 5-1

Arsenal eased past Celtic to reach the Champions League group stage.
Eduardo's 25th-minute penalty, a contentious award after he clashed with Celtic keeper Artur Boruc, extended the Gunners' two-goal first leg lead.
Emmanuel Eboue finished a sweeping move for Arsenal's second after 53 minutes and Andrey Arshavin added another two minutes after coming on as substitute.
Massimo Donati's spectacular angled volley pulled one back for Celtic, but they now go into the Europa League.
Celtic's players accused Eduardo of diving to win the crucial penalty, but the Gunners were ultimately superior to the Scottish Premier League giants and merited the victory.
Arsenal were not at their flowing best, but demonstrated enough touches of their trademark invention to build on an impressive start to the season.

Obama Mourns Teddy

Obama, vacationing at Martha's Vineyard off the Massachusetts coast, said Wednesday that the nation lost a "singular figure in American history" with the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, but that his "extraordinary" accomplishments will live on.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/08/26/obama-reacts-death-sen-ted-kennedy/
-
One of their (Obama, Kennedy, Pelosi-Reid) extraordinary accomplishments is highlighted on page 1 of the 8/26/09 Roanoke Times: The deficit is now targeted to be larger than the SUM OF ALL PREVIOUS DEFICITS SINCE 1776. This is the imposition of tax-slavery for our children and grandchildren.
What an accomplishment! This truly qualifies as “socialist mission accomplished”.
-
Some might say that the legacy of Kennedy is: lying and cheating his way through Harvard, felony manslaughter at Chappaquiddick, binge drinking and womanizing his entire life, and pursuing an insatiable desire to convert America into a socialist state.
-
Since the Obama’s are already at Martha’s Vineyard, it would be fitting and proper for this solemn occasion to drive over to Chappaquiddick and place a wreath on the bridge in memory of Mary Jo Kopechne who paid an awful price to be a “Kennedy boiler room girl”.
-
When the final words are written about Teddy it may be that you can’t get someone into heaven by writing a good obituary or by delivering a moving eulogy.
-
A realistic view of current events can easily be summed up by:
Taxes and debt are like anchors nailing our people and our ship of state to the bottom where socialism and stagnation hold us securely to mediocrity.

HONGERA COSOTA LAKINI BADO MNAKAZI YA KUWAPA ELIMU WASANII

MGAO WA SABA (7) WA MIRABAHA KWA WASANII WA FANI YA MUZIKI NA FILAMU
KAMPENI DHIDI YA UZALISHAJI NA USAMBAZAJI WA KANDA NA CD BANDIA (FEKI)
MGAO WA MIRABAHA
Chama cha Hakimiliki Tanzania (COSOTA) kinafurahi kuwatangazia wanachama wake na wasanii wa fani ya muziki na filamu kwa ujumla, kwamba mgao wa saba wa mirabaha umekamilika.
Wajibu wa kulipa mirabaha
Mirabaha ni pesa inayokusanywa kutoka kwa aina zote za biashara ambazo zinatumia kazi za muziki na filamu ili kuburudisha wateja kwa njia ya redio au luninga na kutoka kwa mashirika ya utangazaji.
Zoezi hili ni utekelezaji wa Kanuni za Utoaji Leseni kwa maonyesho ya Umma na Utangazaji za Mwaka 2003, Tangazo la Serikali Na. 328 la Tarehe 10/10/2003. Kanuni hizi zimetengenezwa chini ya kifungu cha 45 ikiwa ni utekelezaji wa Kifungu cha 48 cha Sheria ya Hakimiliki na Hakishiriki 1999, (Sheria Na. 7 ya mwaka 1999).
YUSTUS A.B MKINGA AFISA MTENDAJI COSOTA AKIZUNGUMZA NA WAANDISHI HABARI KUHUSU WIZI WA KAZI ZA WASANII
Kwa mujibu wa Kanuni hizi wamiliki wa biashara zifuatazo wanawajibika kulipa mirabaha. Biashara hizo ni pamoja na hoteli, baa, migahawa, maduka, kumbi za kukodisha, kumbi za disko, vituo vya utangazaji, wasambazaji wa matangazo kwa njia ya Kebo n.k.
Hali ya ukusanyaji wa mirabaha toka zoezi lianze
Kuanzia mwezi Mei 2006 hadi Disemba, 2008, COSOTA imekusanya jumla ya Sh. 306,327,040.33, ambapo migao sita imetolewa na kunufaisha jumla ya wanachama 956.

Mirabaha iliyokusanywa kuanzia Januari 2009
Katika kipindi cha Januari 2009 hadi Juni 30, 2009 kiasi cha Sh. 80,756,353.00/= kimekusanywa kama ifuatavyo:-
a) Makusanyo kupitia mawakala Sh. 24,256,353.00/=
b) Kamati ya vibali vya wasanii 600,000/=
c) Mabenki – 4,000,000/=
d) Redio Maria – 500,000/=
e) Juke Boxes (International Vending) 51,000,000/=
f) Juke Boxes (Kenice) 400,000/=
Jumla Sh. 80,756,000.00/=

Katika mgao huu wa saba zimegawanywa Sh. 80,256,353.00 jumla ya Sh. 500,000/= zilizokusanywa kutoka Redio Maria zinasubiri taarifa ya kazi zilizotumika na malipo kutoka vituo vingine vya utangazaji ili zigawanywe kwa pamoja.
Baada ya kutoa gharama ya ukusanyaji asilimia ya COSOTA na mfuko wa shughuli za kijamii za wanachama Sh. 50,548,163.66 zinagawanywa kwa wasanii kama ifuatavyo:-
a) Mgawanyo kwa wasanii wa fani ya muziki kutokana na maonyesho ya Umma Sh. 23,966,866.56.
b) Mgawanyo kwa wasanii wa fani ya maigizo kutokana na maonyesho ya umma Sh. 3,956,665.80.
c) Mgawanyo utokanao na Juke Boxes Sh. 22,624,631.30.
Jumla ya wasanii walionufaika na mgao huu kutokana na maonyesho ya umma ni 1088.
Jumla ya wasanii wa ndani na nje walionufaika na mgao utokanao na Juke Boxes 366.

1. Maendeleo ya ufuatiliaji wa mirabaha kutoka vituo vya utangazaji
Hadi sasa ni kituo kimoja tu ambacho kimelipa mirabaha. COSOTA imeshafanya majadiliano ya ana kwa ana na vituo vya utangazaji katika miji ya Dar es salaam, Iringa na Moshi. Wakati huo huo, vituo vyote nchini vimepelekewa fomu za madodoso ambazo zitaisaidia COSOTA kuweza kukokotoa viwango vya mirabaha inayopaswa kulipwa na vituo husika. Vituo vichache vimerejesha fomu hizo wakati vituo vingi bado havijarejesha. COSOTA inachukua nafasi hii kuwaarifu wamiliki wa vituo ambavyo havijarejesha fomu hizo kufanya hivyo ili wasanii waweze kunufaika kutokana na kazi zao kutumika na vituo hivyo.




1. Wito kwa watumishi wa serikali wanaokwamisha zoezi la ukusanyaji wa mirabaha katika maeneo yao
COSOTA inasikitishwa sana na kitendo cha baadhi ya watumishi na halmashauri na manispaa kukwamisha shughuli za ukusanyaji wa mirabaha na ulinzi wa Hakimiliki kwa ujumla katika maeneo yao. Wengine wamefikia hatua ya kuwaandikia barua wafanyabiashara wa maeneo yao, kwamba shughuli za COSOTA ni batili.

Wakati taratibu zinaendelea kutafuta ufumbuzi wa hali hiyo, tunachukua nafasi hii, kuwaarifu watumishi wa aina hiyo, Wafanyabiashara na Umma na Watanzania, kwamba shughuli za ukusanyaji wa mirabaha ni halali na zinafanyika kwa mujibu wa Sheria za nchi.

1. Ukiukaji wa Hakimiliki
Kifungu cha 9(1) cha Sheria ya Hakimiliki na Hakishiriki, 1999 (Sheria Na. 7 ya mwaka 1999) kinasomeka kwamba “Mtunzi atakuwa na haki ya kipekee ya kutekeleza au kuidhinisha mambo yafuatayo kuhusiana na kazi
(a) utoaji nakala;
(b) usambazaji;
(c) ukodishaji;
(d) uonyeshaji kazi kwa umma;
(e) tafsiri ya kazi;
(f) toleo la kazi;
(g) utangazaji wa kazi;
(h) mawasiliano ya kazi, na
(i) uingizaji wa nakala kutoka nchi za nje

Kitendo chochote kinyume na kifungu hicho ni ukiukaji wa hakimiliki ambapo chini ya kifungu cha 42(a), adhabu ya mtu atakayepatikana na hatia yaweza kuwa kulipa faini isiyozidi Sh. milioni tano au adhabu ya kifungo kisichozidi miaka mitatu au vyote kwa pamoja.

Kwa mujibu wa Kanuni za Uzalishaji na Usambazaji wa Kazi za Filamu na Muziki za Mwaka 2006, Tangazo la Serikali Na. 18 la tarehe 10/02/2006, COSOTa imepewa uwezo wa kuharibu kazi hizo mbele ya Umma baada ya siku 60 ikiwa aliyekamatwa nazo atashindwa kuthibitisha uhalali wa yeye kuwa na nakala za kazi alizokamatwa nazo.

Waliokamatwa katika Operesheni hizi ni wale ambao wamekuwa wakitoa nakala (kuzalisha), kusambaza(kuuza) na kutafsiri kazi pasipo kibali cha watunzi. Haijalishi kama mtuhumiwa anakiuka hakimiliki za wasanii wa ndani au wa nje. Wizi ni wizi tu, haijalishi kama unamuibia mtanzania au raia wa nje!

Chini ya kifungu cha 3(6)(a) na makubaliano ya kulindiana kazi na vyombo vya nje vyenye majukumu kama ya COSOTA, COSOTA imepewa uwezo wa kukamata kazi bandia zote, ziwe za ndani au za nje.

Nachukua nafasi hii kuwatahadharisha wauzaji wa CD na Kanda zenye kazi za nje, kuhakikisha kwamba wanapewa risiti na hao wanaowauzia. Kwa ujumla CD nyingi kutoka China ni bandia wala wauzaji wasidanganyike na CD zinazokuwa na filamu zaidi ya moja kwa kuwa hakuna mzalishaji halali mwenye akili timamu anayeweza kuweka filamu zaidi ya mbili katika CD moja.

Wakaguzi wa COSOTA wataendelea kukagua maduka yote yanayouza CD zenye kazi za watunzi wa nje kama wafanyavyo kwa kazi za ndani.

2. Motisha kwa Wasiri
Raia wema na wote wanaotembeza kanda mitaani (maarufu kama wamachinga), wanaarifiwa kwamba zawadi isiyopungua Sh. 200,000/= itatolewa kwa yeyote atakayetoa taarifa zitakazoisaidia COSOTA kukamata vifaa vinavyotumika kutengenezea CD bandia. Taarifa hiyo hiyo itolewe kwa Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wa COSOTA pekee. COSOTA inahifadhi siri za wasiri.

3. Wito kwa Wasanii na Wanachama wa COSOTA
COSOTA inasikitishwa na ushirikiano mdogo inaopata kutoka kwa wasanii. Ni wasanii wachache sana ambao wamekuwa wakiisaidia COSOTA kwa nyakati mbalimbali. Wasanii walio wengi hawaji wanapoitwa na baadhi yao hudai malipo makubwa ambayo COSOTA haina uwezo wa kutoa.
Ikumbukwe kwamba jukumu la kwanza la kulinda hakimiliki ni la mwenye mali, yaani msanii mwenyewe kwa mujibu wa kifungu cha 36 cha Sheria ya hakimiliki. COSOTA ina nafasi ya pili. Badala ya kushirikiana na COSOTA, kuitika wito na kufanya kazi na COSOTA, wasanii wengi wamebakia kulaumu na kulalamika tu.
Wakati huo huo naomba kuwapongeza baadhi ya wamiliki wa Makampuni ya uzalishaji na usambazaji ambao wamekuwa mstari wa mbele katika kupiga vita uharamia.
4. Wajibu wa Wazalishaji, wasambazaji na wachapishaji kujisajili COSOTA.
Chini ya kifungu cha 47(b), COSOTA imepewa uwezo wa kutunza rejista za watayarishaji wa vihifadhia sauti zilizorekodiwa na vielelezo vya kusikia na kuona (kanda na CD), wachapishaji na wasambazaji wa kazi za muziki, filamu na maandishi.
Lengo la kifungu hiki ni kuiwezesha COSOTA kudhibiti utengenezaji na usambazaji wa kazi bandia, lakini pia kutambua alama za siri za usalama ambazo wahusika wanatumia ili kutambulisha kazi zao halali.
Pamoja na kuwatangazia kufanya hivyo, wengi wao wamekuwa wagumu kutekeleza maagizo hayo. Hali hiyo inaweza kusababisha COSOTA kukamata kazi halali kwa kudhania ni bandia.
Usajili huo ni muhimu zaidi kwa sasa ambapo COSOTA ipo katika hatua za mwisho za kuanzisha matumizi ya stika ya kitaifa, kama alama ya usalama ya kutofautisha kazi halali na zile ambazo ni bandia.

Kwa niaba ya COSOTA napenda kutoa shukrani zangu za dhati kwa Inspekta Jenerali wa Polisi kwa kuteua maafisa wa kushughulikia masuala ya hakimiliki ndani ya jeshi la polisi katika kila mkoa Tanzania bara na kwa Makamanda wa Polisi wa kanda maalumu ya Dar es salaam, Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Morogoro na wengine wote kwa kushirikiana na COSOTA katika kampeni dhidi ya kazi bandia. Maafisa hao wamekuwa msaada mkubwa kwa COSOTA katika kampeni dhidi ya kazi bandia(Feki).
Pamoja nao, shukrani ziuendee uongozi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Mzumbe kwa kutoa wanafunzi ambao wanaendelea kutusaidia kwenye Kampeni hii, wasanii na wadau wote waliofanikisha zoezi hili, bila kusahau watumishi wa COSOTA ambao wamekuwa wanafanya kazi kwa moyo mmoja pamoja na vitisho wanavyopata kutoka kwa maharamia.

Arsenal 4 - 1 Portsmouth

Arsenal continued their impressive start to the Premier League season with a resounding victory over Portsmouth.
Abou Diaby opened the scoring with a first-time finish from Eduardo's cut-back and doubled the lead when he tapped in Emmanuel Eboue's cross.
Younes Kaboul headed home to give Portsmouth hope but Arsenal responded when the ball rebounded off William Gallas' face and into the net.
Aaron Ramsey slotted home Robin van Persie's pass to seal the hosts' win.
The result sends Arsenal top of the league on goal difference and maintained their 100% start to the season in all competitions.
Portsmouth drop to the foot of the table and, despite engineering a number of clear-cut chances, look to be in desperate need of reinforcements.
With three defeats from their opening three games, the south coast club have now made their worst start to a Premier League season and they can only hope that the ongoing saga surrounding their ownership is resolved soon


Wigan 0 - 5 Man Utd


Michael Owen scored his first goal for Manchester United as they bounced back from their defeat at Burnley to thump Wigan with a flurry of late goals.
United had been frustrated until Wayne Rooney headed home Antonio Valencia's cross for his 100th goal for the club.
A neat move soon saw Dimitar Berbatov make it 2-0 and Rooney's shot deflected in off Mario Melchiot to add a third.
Owen came off the bench to score number four with a clipped finish and Nani's curling free-kick completed the rout.
For all three of his senior strikers to find the net will give United boss Sir Alex Ferguson much satisfaction in wake of the criticism that followed Wednesday's shock loss at Turf Moor.
But the final scoreline should not mask United's earlier deficiencies in front of goal as a better team than Wigan would have punished the champions for their failure to take their numerous first-half chances.
The first of those came after four minutes when Berbatov fed the overlapping Nani, who cut the ball back perfectly into Darren Fletcher's path but, with Chris Kirkland beaten, the Scot's first-time shot was brilliantly blocked on the line by Titus Bramble.
Paul Scholes then blasted over when well-placed on the edge of the area and Berbatov had a close-range header saved before the industrious Rooney saw one effort deflected wide and another fly straight at Kirkland after working space for the shot.
United, who had made seven changes from the side that were embarrassed by the Clarets, should have been out of sight but instead they almost fell behind, with only a superb stop by Foster keeping out a curler from Jason Koumas that was heading for the top corner.
And, although the visitors were back on top before the interval, the breakthrough continued to elude them.
It looked as though Rooney would surely score when he lost Bramble and latched on to a hoisted pass from Jonny Evans but his drilled shot was kept out by Kirkland's leg.
And Bramble redeemed himself for that error when he timed his tackle to perfection to scoop the ball away from Berbatov as the Bulgarian shaped to shoot. It was the Latics who came closest to scoring at the start of the second half, when Paul Scharner's deflected header flew inches wide
But United continued to attack with the greater intent and got their reward after 56 minutes when Valencia crossed from the right and Rooney beat Bramble to nod into the top corner.
And, after Foster made another impressive save to claw away Hugo Rodallega's looping header, the visitors scored two more goals in quick succession to take complete control of the match.
Berbatov raced on to Fletcher's flick to push the ball over the onrushing Kirkland and slot home the bouncing ball.
Then Rooney picked up the ball on the left-hand side of the area and fired in a low shot that deflected off Melchiot and span past the helpless Kirkland.
Wigan, understandably, were shell-shocked and never looked like finding a way back into the game.
United came forward looking to extend their lead and it was Owen who was next to find the target, meeting Nani's through-ball and lifting the ball over Kirkland with a vintage finish.
It was Owen's first competitive goal since 10 January and will give him the confidence boost he needs after a difficult start to his time at Old Trafford. Ferguson's side were not finished yet and Nani had the final word with a brilliant stoppage-time free-kick that he curled over the wall and into the bottom corner
