Mwanamuziki wa Hip-Hop Wyclef Jean amesema bado hajaacha jitihada zake za kugombea uraisi wa Haiti na atajaribu kuiomba mahakama kuugeuza uamuzi ilioutoa kwamba hataweza kugombea uraisi wa nchi hiyo

Akizungumza na The Associated Press kwa simu kutoka nyumbani kwake katika Croix des Bouquets, Jean alisema wanasheria yake faili la rufaa na ofisi ya Taifa ya Uchaguzi mgogoro.


"They are trying to keep us out of the race," alisema,
 
Haiti's Election Board waliukataa ugombea wa Wyclef Jean ijumaa usiku kutokana na kwamba waliamua kwamba hajakamilisha mahitaji ya uraia ingawa bodi hiyo wanaelezea sababu maalum. Chini ya sheria Haiti, mgombea urais lazima awe na kuishi nchini kwa miaka mitano mfululizo  hadi uchaguzi.

Jean has argued that he was not required to comply with the law so strictly because after President Rene Preval appointed him as roving ambassador in 2007, he was allowed to travel and live outside the country
 
Baadhi ya viongozi katika Haiti wasiwasi kuhusu kisiasa kati ya wafuasi wa Jean baada ya Ugombea wake kukataliwa. Lakini mwimbaji, aliwaomba wafuasi wake kukaa kwa  utulivu, na kulikuwa hakuna umuhimu kuhusiana  maandamano au vurugu juu ya mwishoni mwa wiki ingawa kulikuwa na fununu kuhusu maandamano makubwa yaliyopangwa kufanyika Jumatatu.
 
Watu wengi katika mji wa Croix Jean des Bouquets, kitongoji katika mji mkuu, Port-AU-Prince walipata moyo Jumapili katika jitihada zake kwa ajili ya urais.
 
"I love what Wyclef is doing," said Paul Jean Augustine, a 27-year-old mechanic. "We're ready to die for Clef, and without him there's no election. We are with him 100 percent."







Meet The YouTube Stars Making $100,000 Plus Per Year

Provided by the Business Insider, August 19, 2010:

There are 10 independent YouTube stars who made over $100,000 in the past year, according to a study done by analytics and advertising company TubeMogul.
From July 2009 to July 2010, TubeMogul used their viewership data to estimate the annual income for independent YouTube partners, which they define as anyone who is not part of a media company or brand.
Here's how they got their estimates:

    * Revenue only comes from banner ads served near content (we ignored pre-roll or overlay since we can't easily isolate by publisher).
    * Since YouTube banner ads have a two-second load delay, we estimate 2.59% of viewers click away before an ad loads based on separate research.
    * Ads were served near all videos that loaded (since there are partners, this is generally true).
    * CPM for the banner ads was $1.50 (Google auctions a lot of this inventory off; we rounded this 2009 estimate down to be conservative).
    * YouTube is splitting ad revenue with partners 50-50.
Basically, take their views from the past year, assume a few don't stick around long enough for an ad to load, divide that number by 1,000, multiply by $1.50 and divide that number in half.
Conservative estimates? Sure. But with that math, you get a pretty decent estimate of how much these YouTube celebrities are making from just the banner ads on their channel. So, without further ado, here are the highest earning YouTube stars!

There’s word from the University of Washington that a mobile phone for the deaf is in the works, in fact, it’s already being put to tests by the scientists there. The phone will involve transmission of American Sign Language (ASL) via video. It seems that the device will make use of 30kbps video transmission and will save battery consumption with the help of motion detecting algorithms. It seems that MobileASL will make communication easier and a lot faster as compared to text services that we’re using now and hey, there’s video as well so you can as well see your contacts.

Erykah Badu gets fine, probation for naked stroll (CNN)

Singer Erykah Badu stripped down on the streets of Dallas,
Texas, for her "Window Seat" music video.
Erykah Badu must pay a $500 fine and serve six months on probation for her naked stroll through downtown Dallas, Texas, while making a music video last March, a city official confirmed Tuesday. 

  Badu reached a plea deal to settle a misdemeanor disorderly conduct citation issued after she released a music video, according to Dallas spokesman Jose Torres.
  The singer shed her clothes as she walked through Dealey Plaza until she was nude and then fell near where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
   Badu said the video was "shot guerrilla style," without a crew and in one take March 17, 2010. 
   Badu then posted a message on her Twitter account acknowledging that "there were children there." She said she prayed they wouldn't be traumatized by seeing her naked.
    It wasn't until several days after the video for the song "Window Seat" was released on March 28 that anyone who witnessed the taping filed a complaint with Dallas Police. Only then did police issue a citation against Badu.
   Under the plea agreement, the offense will be erased from Badu's criminal record if she successfully completes the 180 days probation.
   "If she violates any law at the city, state or federal level, a motion to adjudicate (seeking to revoke probation) will be filed," Torres said. "If the motion to adjudicate is granted, Ms. Badu will have a criminal conviction."
