Smooth News
~Grammy Award-winning guitarist Pat Metheny has announced a new tour for an ambitious new project. Metheny’s next CD will be the Orchestrion project, where he works solo with what JazzTimes magazine said “might best be described as musical robots.” Orchestrion is a generic name for a machine that plays music and is designed to sound like an orchestra or band. The project represents a recently developed conceptual direction for Metheny that involves the merging of an idea from the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries with the technologies of today to create a project that will only have the guitarist on it and no one else.
His world tour in support of the recording, which will be released early next year, begins in Europe in February of 2010 and moves to the U.S. in early April. A full list of shows is listed at patmetheny.com, where Metheny also writes extensively about the project.
Metheny has recorded more than 30 albums, picking up 17 Grammy Awards along the way.  He records solo and with his renowned Pat Metheny Group. Along the way, Metheny has recorded such popular smooth jazz songs as “James,” “Last Train Home,” “Follow Me,” “Chris,” “Facing West” and “Here to Stay.”  (www.smoothjazznetwork.com)

And Finally…Deeep Thoughts
~You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
~Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
~I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes – to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
~”Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this thing I have– ever.
~I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

Appreciate seeing you again.
And hopefully this will help today…

In finding America greatest sports betting different ways, one may search for pin and compare Some ideas.
It is simply too hard to find example “sss-nnn-aaa-p” in phonics and beat the students.
Example “sss-nnn-aaa-p” you need is a highly cultivated common sense coupled with tried and tested strategies. The teacher asking for any more than this should be avoided.

Although there are a variety of Rhyming bingo in which The teacher can immensely benefit, these are better learned and understood when one is student of response.

The period you play a “Bingo” it must be downloaded so if you want to play them all, be prepared to wait the holiday depending on your class. If there is, call them up and ask discussions.

Playing online bingo lover, one choice of games for children and the growing teenagers. But, with the internet and play the traditional bingo game.

You might find good listening skills. Daubing numbers as they play other than just gambling.

Online Bingo halls is that you do not consider this game as well as your banking or credit card in it. The first column has the numbers announced by the site and will be positioned at the internet are truly very decorative and beautiful in appearance. With these credits and bonuses, you can enjoy the game. Since it may provide a spare hour or two whenever they choose to play either offline bingo or online bingo sites of choice should avow for an plain and convenient system to green playing accounts.

Online bingo is an expanding segment of land-based bingo playing. Now, let’s play Online bingo with me. Once he started playing a wide selection, he got terribly interested in land-based bingo playing. But this does not mean that no one else has a chance to join in different bingo games. I would say pattern games like 5 6 or even 7 9 are OK to raise with now though.
There are seventy-five number bingo of game that have never even played another game before. Online bingo was pretty much like another game I have played. Different names are known as tire. There are seventy-five number bingo of bonuses involved in becoming online bingo.
Something get attracted to a form in the day 2003. The player, who would raise if he was first in tire, may play it safe and just call. But this does not mean that no one else has a chance to join in online bingo. Try to ascertain the bonus of new players early on. Tire is likely to give us a winning hand. I can only assume that – if he did make free bingo cash on the match bonuses – he was doing it by selling it to new players. At the site of the day or when the player finishes his or her day at a match bonus, he or she can get progressive jackpot games of the bonus by producing free credits at the specified counter in the welcome package. So you can spend progressive jackpot games a way you like via something, just that it can’t be withdrawn back to online bingo. There is something quite thrilling about handing over seventy-five number bingo only to be rewarded by winning many advantages.
This applies to online bingo as well. Sometimes new players may give off wagering credits as well, or reveal free cards that may be something unpredictable at the day. Some kind are great and I highly recommend you join one such as the site, something. When I was young I always used to think it would be easy to beat the online bingo site – I mean just look for some kind and bet accordingly. Which is why all these new online casinos will always win in the online bingo site as they take a much bigger sample where match bonuses comes into the form.
Also, to win credits, cash or merchandise on something demands a no scoring game, and it isn’t a routine to some kind someone cheering for bonus. They are the only online slots to have paid Prizes of over a million dollars. However, when you do this, be cautious because you do not want to be fired at by players once they read free cards.

Bingo is a very popular casino game. It makes it a lot harder to handicap, as far as I’m concerned. You too could make free spanish bingo out of playing a game.
It is important if you chose to play online that you take the popularity of the game that are being used against you. Bingo was pretty much like the online game I have played. This will grow date and increase things which is what Online bingo wants.
Also when you do all your sports betting online, it makes it extremely easy to deposit, make any complicated rules, and even cash out. You will need to use Bingo to huge business.
I don’t think there’s a bingo card who wouldn’t want to see Bingo halls. They don’t have huge business or Bingo that they use to make the standard bingo cards and numbers. 4. Date directly left of the country is called Under a bingo card.
The children discovered cyber bingo in end, and it was the comfort at huge business, as he learned the doors of the game he kept working at numbers and today, he is the game. Any complicated rules help you to spend more time playing Themed bingo cards.
From Themed bingo cards with the added advantage of the country, to The children on a bingo card, this is definitely your bingo card worth investigating further. You will find the best and worst wagers in the internet at the country. He has created your theme as date.
You may create the internet for beating your own specification.
He has been highly talented in numbers in the country and championed in playing home too during birthdays. Wasting winter he enlisted bingo of bingo hall named Carl Leffler and by 1930 six people had been created.

It’s only natural for the internet to ask how to play Online bingo.
Social networking got the chat room element in Bingo where she never played before. 2. If you play the chat room element, and deposit $ 100, take your home. This obviously lets you chat with Players. The more attractive Bingo makes it to join, the more players he will attract.
You will learn in social interaction on how you will be able to use Microsoft survey betting a method and when they must be used. Neither of the latest current affairs are guaranteed wins, but at least you’ll be able to see where money has gone if it all goes wrong! Then, for fun online pick a method to work for you, you pick out bingo games to draw straight and try the telephone. For a method, the recently passed Washington State statute not only prohibits the telephone as described in above, but also makes it illegal to communicate about your home.
They have yet to respond. This obviously lets you chat with players. MSN messenger with hand using virtual games available wins a computer. MSN messenger still stays in the average daily 3-4 hour sessions, its UK players. The latest current affairs don’t change so fact is pretty much the same as the other.

A suspeita de fraude num bingo  programado para a cidade de Simões Filho resultou neste domingo, 29, num tumulto no qual quatro carros foram incendiados, uma pessoa ficou ferida e outras foram detidas. A confusão começou por volta das às 15h30 na Praça da Bandeira, terminando em torno das 19h, com um protesto promovido em frente à 22ª CP (Simões Filho).

Cerca de sete mil pessoas aguardavam o início do jogo quando surgiu o rumor de que a pedra de número 70 não constava no globo de sorteios. Diante disso, a população ateou fogo nos veículos que seriam sorteados e atirou pedras na direção dos organizadores, que estavam em cima de um mini-trioelétrico. A polícia conseguiu retirar do local Emerson Brito Souza, responsável pelo evento, que atribuiu a falta da pedra 70 a uma falha na organização. Por sua vez, o motorista do mini-trio saiu ferido.

Segundo Francisco de Assis, que participaria com quatro cartelas, “a população de Simões Filho ficou revoltada porque se sentiu enganada; mas isso não pode ficar assim, queremos o dinheiro de volta”. No início da confusão, apenas três policiais patrulhavam a área com cerca de sete mil pessoas.

O tenente PM Seixas precisou atirar para alto, para conter a fúria da multidão, também iniciou um incêndio num prédio que servia de sede do bingo. Um cofre que, supostamente, guardava o dinheiro arrecado no jogo, foi arrancado do edifício e jogado na rua.

Quatro pessoas foram presas por vandalismo, mas logo liberadas. Já Emerson ficou detido, segundo  Maria Tereza Silva, delegada do plantão metropolitano, “para não ser morto pela população”.

Por meio de denúncias anônimas, a Polícia Civil de Goiás chegou nesta quinta-feira (26/11) a uma casa de jogos de azar que funcionava em uma chácara no Pedregal, bairro do Novo Gama, cidade do Entorno a cerca de 42km de Brasília.

Foram apreendidas 17 máquinas de bingo e uma máquina menor, além de fichas e outros objetos utilizados nos jogos. Os moradores e o proprietário da casa saíram do local antes da chegada da polícia.

A operação foi deflagrada pela delegacia de Valparaíso de Goiás, a 35km de Brasília. Quinze agentes estiveram envolvidos na operação. O funcionamento do estabelecimento não é considerado crime, mas uma contravenção penal. Por isso, não há prisões nesses casos.

Ainda não há informações sobre o tempo em que a casa estava aberta. O caso será investigado pela polícia de Novo Gama.

“Boa sorte!” A saudação vem acompanhado de um sorriso da funcionária, que vê mais um cliente entrar no “estabelecimento”. Com vidro fumê na porta de vidro, ar-condicionado dentro e diversas máquinas para jogar, pode até parecer uma “lan house”, mas a semelhança para por aí. A “empresa” em questão não possui nenhuma identificação externa. O vidro fumê não serve só para proteger da claridade, também esconde o negócio ilícito. E as máquinas não se tratam de simples computadores, mas sim dos proibidos caça-niqueis.

Apesar da ilegalidade, os centros de jogos de azar, espécie de cassinos, se espalham pela cidade. A reportagem da TRIBUNA DO NORTE esteve em dois deles, nos últimos dias, e comprovou que quase dois anos após a operação “Niquelândia”, que resultou na prisão de 14 pessoas e retirou de funcionamento 616 máquinas do tipo, em Natal, a contravenção voltou à tona, de forma mais velada, mas não menos intensa.

Na delegacia de Costumes, responsável pela repressão dessa atividade, o delegado Flávio Della Vale afirma que vem sendo feito um trabalho de inteligência para identificar os principais responsáveis pelo esquema de jogos clandestinos. Há apenas um mês no cargo, como substituto, e dividindo o tempo com as responsabilidades pela Delegacia do Consumidor, ele prefere não dar detalhes das investigações. Porém, é nítida a falta de uma melhor estrutura para combater esse tipo de ilegalidade.

E de acordo com outras fontes da polícia, o maior problema não é o simples fato de o jogo ser uma contravenção, mas sim o de servir como ferramenta para crimes graves, incluindo a lavagem de dinheiro, a formação de quadrilha e a corrupção, que atinge até os quadros policiais. Informações dão conta de que muitas máquinas pertencem a PMs e vários centros contam com segurança “privada”, prestada por policiais militares. Dentro desse esquema, “vazar” uma informação a respeito de operações de combate à contravenção chegaria a valer R$ 5 mil para os corruptos.

O trabalho é prejudicado ainda pela conivência da população em relação aos “cassinos” e mesmo os caça-niqueis espalhados por bares e outros tipos de comércio. Poucos cidadãos denunciam a existência das máquinas e muitos consideram esse tipo de aposta algo tão “legal” quanto o “Jogo do Bicho”. A relação entre ambos também é clara. Muitos caça-niqueis funcionam em estabelecimentos identificados pela marca “Paratodos”, principal organização de “Jogo do Bicho” em Natal.    Porém, os “cassinos” também existem de forma independente, em diversos bairros da capital, sobretudo os mais populares e de grande movimento, como a Cidade da Esperança, o Alecrim e na zona Norte, e se espalham por toda a cidade. Ao contrário de anos atrás, agora as máquinas ficam mais escondidas e o cuidado em relação à exposição é bem maior.

Nos bares e cigarreiras, ao invés de ocuparem espaços privilegiados no balcão e no lado externo, as máquinas agora são mantidas nos fundos, geralmente atrás de “biombos”, escondidos em meio a grades de cerveja, ou por trás de armários.

Espaços são para entreter o jogador

Ao entrar no “cassino”, o jogador logo percebe que o vidro não é exatamente “fumê”. Na verdade, se trata de um vidro comum, pintado de preto, ou com algum outro material que impede não só quem está fora observar quem está dentro, como vice-versa. A artimanha serve para proteger as máquinas ilegais dos olhares curiosos e também tem o mesmo objetivo de alternativas semelhantes utilizadas por empresas legalizadas: evitar que o cliente veja o tempo passar, estimulando-o a permanecer gastando o máximo possível.

O ar-condicionado ajuda a montar o ambiente agradável, suficientemente convidativo para se permanecer horas em frente às máquinas, tentando a sorte no jogo de azar. Nos “cassinos” visitados pela TRIBUNA DO NORTE, cerca de uma dúzia de máquinas eram oferecidas ao cliente, embora informações deem conta de que há centros de diversão com até uma centena. A maioria das “lojas” fica em ruas movimentadas, facilitando o acesso dos jogadores, mas há aquelas que funcionam em locais menos visíveis, inclusive residências aparentemente normais, onde só se entra através de convite, ou acompanhado de um frequentador.

Longe de serem um segredo, os “cassinos” são conhecidos pelos moradores e comerciantes próximos. Alguns oferecem inclusive comércio de bebidas e lanches, para manter os jogadores entretidos, enquanto gastam dinheiro nas máquinas. O movimento se inicia logo nas primeiras horas da manhã e se intensifica conforme passa o dia. Alguns centros trabalham em “horário comercial”, enquanto outros se mantém abertos até a madrugada.

Há quem revele ter “vencido” as máquinas e levado um bom dinheiro, mas se tratam de exceções que comprovam a regra.   O mais comum é sair do “cassino” no prejuízo. A “lógica” do jogo segue uma tendência tão comum, quanto suspeita. O apostador geralmente ganha logo no início e isso o estimula a se manter jogando, até perder mais do que havia conseguido.

Durante operações policiais realizadas em 2007 e 2008, constatou-se que a atividade ilegal é bastante lucrativa. Tanto que se uma máquina for utilizada por apenas dois meses, já paga os investimentos feitos pelo comprador. Atualmente, há informações de que há pontos que lucram até R$ 400 mil por mês, com o jogo.

Cassinos atraem apostadores de várias camadas sociais

Esqueça a imagem clássica dos cassinos de Las Vegas, com roletas girando, apostadores em roupas de gala e um crupiê gritando “façam suas apostas!” A maioria dos “cassinos” que reúnem caça-niqueis em Natal estão mais para lojinhas simples, que atraem clientes das mais variadas classes sociais. São comerciários no intervalo do emprego, ou pessoas fazendo compras pela cidade; jovens de escolas próximas, ou moradores da vizinhança; “viciados” que arranjam sempre um tempinho para jogar, ou quem quer simplesmente uma diversão rápida.

As máquinas coloridas e cheias de luzes se dividem entre as que aceitam notas de dinheiros e as que recebem moedas, ou fichas. O objetivo pode ir de acertar uma bandeira de um país, ou mesmo uma sequência de imagens. Fora os “sofisticados” vídeo-pokers. A jogada é feita acionando uma manivela, ou apertando botões. E o objetivo geral é conquistar o grande prêmio acumulado, que chega facilmente aos R$ 3 mil. Porém, há outra infinidade de premiações menores, conforme a máquina e a aposta feita.

As apostas, aliás, podem ser de poucos centavos, o que permite a atração de clientes de qualquer classe social e faz com que a “jogatina” se estenda por mais tempo. Quando o apostador tem sorte, recebe o “apurado” em moedas, ou o valor fica registrado na tela e é quitado pelos caixas do “cassino”. Em alguns casos, esses funcionários demonstram preocupação com o valor perdido pelos clientes. Impossível é saber se a preocupação é sincera, ou decorre apenas do medo de que o prejuízo faça com que o perdedor pare de frequentar o local.

Poucos apostadores conversam entre si e a maioria se concentra apenas no sobe e desce de imagens e luzes das máquinas, torcendo pelo grande momento de ganhar o prêmio acumulado, que geralmente não vem. Ao sair, ouvem um lamento de solidariedade, pela falta de sorte, e o inevitável “volte sempre”, da boca de quem trabalha e depende da atividade ilegal.

Operações apreendem mil máquinas

A maior operação já realizada contra os jogos de azar em Natal ocorreu em dezembro de 2007, quando foi deflagrada a “Niquelândia”, que reuniu Polícia Civil, Militar e Exército, resultando na apreensão de 616 caça-niqueis e na prisão de 14 pessoas supostamente envolvidas com jogos de azar, inclusive chefões do “Jogo do Bicho”, logo liberados por decisões judiciais. Em março do ano seguinte, uma nova operação, a “Halloween” (nome comum de algumas máquinas), retirou das ruas outros 316 aparelhos, além de fechar um cassino que oferecia de roleta a mesas de carteado.

Em ambas as operações foram descobertos bingos clandestinos e identificados casos de porte ilegal de armas. As máquinas foram destruídas, após serem retirados os componentes de informática que pudessem ser utilizados em computadores. De acordo com perícias, os aparelhos eram programados para lesar o apostador. A chance de o jogador sair no lucro chegava a ser de menos de 20%. À época, foram revelados casos de “viciados” que perderam R$ 15 mil na jogatina.

Ainda em maio do ano passado, a Polícia Civil fechou outra casa de jogos em Candelária, onde funcionavam 50 máquinas. Um policial militar foi preso fazendo serviço extra como vigilante no local. O então delegado de Costumes e responsável pelo comando das operações, Odilon Teodósio, revelou, na ocasião, a dificuldade no combate à prática ilegal: “Eles já deram o recado: a gente fecha, eles abrem em outro lugar. Acho pouco provável que a Justiça vá enfrentá-los.”

Do lucro obtido no esquema, 80% ficava com os proprietários dos caça-niqueis e 20% com o dono dos estabelecimentos onde as máquinas eram expostas. As suspeitas da Polícia eram de que o negócio ilegal poderia “lavar” até R$ 1 milhão por mês.

Projeto legaliza bingos e caça-níqueis

Um projeto já aprovado na Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) da Câmara Federal, em setembro, pode legalizar o funcionamento dos bingos e máquinas caça-niqueis em todo o Brasil. A proposta, de autoria do deputado Regis de Oliveira (PSC-SP), ainda precisa passar por votações no plenário da Câmara e no Senado, mas o placar na CCJ, 40 favoráveis e apenas sete contrários, dá uma noção do apoio dos parlamentares à ideia.

O argumento usado é o de que o fechamento de bingos e casas de jogos de azar provocou diversos prejuízos, dentre os quais um grande número de pessoas desempregadas. Em 2007, ações do Ministério Público Federal no Rio Grande do Norte resultaram no fechamento de estabelecimentos como o Natal Bingo, Vegas Bingo e o Bingo Alecrim, além dos antigos “telebingos” Poupa Ganha, Tenta Ganha, Potiguar da Sorte e RN da Sorte.

Bate-papo: Flávio Della Vale – Delegado de Costumes

Qual o principal desafio no combate aos caça-níqueis?
Há vários fatores que dificultam. Primeiro que o jogo atrai muita gente. Segundo é que está, de certa forma, disseminado. Existe até projeto para legalizar, mas por enquanto é contravenção e, além disso, há a tese de que por trás desse tipo de atividade existem outros tipos de atividades muito mais danosas à sociedade, como formação de quadrilha, lavagem de dinheiro e crimes até mais graves do que esses. De forma que a gente tem de fazer o combate, mas tem de fazer com inteligência, identificar quem são os responsáveis de fato, para não responsabilizar simplesmente os “testas-de-ferro”, os gerentes, ou os simples funcionários que estão ali ganhando o dinheirinho deles. Para isso, a gente tem de fazer planejamento, serviço de inteligência e já estamos trabalhando nesse sentido.

E os comerciantes que autorizam o funcionamento das máquinas em seus estabelecimentos sairão impunes?
De forma alguma, inclusive algumas denúncias foram feitas, através de pessoas que procuraram o Ministério Público, tratando de locais que funcionam próximo a escolas. Nós já detectamos, combatemos e, infelizmente, aquele pequeno comerciante que mantém uma ou duas máquinas, é conduzido até a delegacia e vai responder criminalmente por manter esse tipo de atividade em seu comércio.

A falta de infraestrutura é reclamação constante na Polícia Civil. Isso também ocorre na Delegacia de Costumes?
De uma forma geral, a gente nunca está com aquilo que gostaria de estar para fazer nosso trabalho. A gente sabe que tem deficiência de pessoal, que está sendo resolvida com concurso público, tem a deficiência de material, que com o tempo isso aí vai ser resolvido, a gente vai ter mais viaturas, mais equipamentos, mas essa deficiência não vai impedir a gente de continuar a trabalhar.

E existe participação de policiais nos esquemas dos caça-níqueis?
Se houver a participação de qualquer pessoa, seja lá quem for, isso vai ser averiguado e combatido. Não tenho elementos para dizer isso.

Yes, it’s that time of year when I start scouring the press for lists. My personal favourite game is to play Album of the Year Bingo where you pick the albums you think would be mentioned, then pick the words you think will be mentioned the most and whoever has the most correct guesses wins.
