It is estimated that tipster scams cost punters between £1 million and £4 million each year in the UK alone. Some companies charge premium tipping fees by claiming a superior track record of betting advice. However, bettors need to be cautious of inflated or fabricated figures designed to attract new customers. Reputable companies will keep accurate records of tipping activities.
Some scam artists provide different tips to different people in a race of a set number of horses. Such method guarantees that one person will win. The bettor who won could then assume that they received real insight into the race outcome and may pay future fees to the scam artist.
Scam artists often refer to themselves as "racing pundits," telling potential customers that their tipping service provides a very high ratio of winners to runners, sometimes up to 90 per cent. Obviously, it is extremely difficult or impossible to obtain winning percentages that high. Punters should heed the old axiom that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Scammers may also encourage prospects to sign up by suggesting that there are only a limited number of places available for their exclusive service. However, such a bogus claim runs counter to marketplace economics. If a vendor has a great service that provides real value, it's in their financial incentive to reach as many customers as they can.
Rip-off companies may also state that there is a 'money back guarantee' if punters aren't satisfied. However, it can be difficult or impossible to get refunds if and when the scam operation takes the money and simply disappears. Instead of an address, victims are often provided a mailbox without an ability to contact anyone at the company.
Other tipster scams offer a regular monthly income with 'no financial risk' if the consumer places bets on someone else's behalf on horses which are 'sure to win'. Consumers are told that if the horse wins they should send on the winnings but if it loses they will be refunded the bet. Often, victims lose their money without recourse due to their inability to contact the perpetrator.
Some victims are contacted by phone with the offer of investing in shares of a racehorse. After sending their money, the perpetrator claims that they will receive legal paperwork regarding the ownership but nothing arrives.
Follow this advice in order to avoid horse racing scams:
· Do not give your bank account details or any money.
· Do not listen to anyone claiming they know a 'sure-fire' racehorse that cannot lose.
· Be cautious of any tipster that operates using a PO Box Number, or who is very difficult to contact.
· Report suspicious operations or individuals to authorities in order to prevent possible crimes.

Erik Aadahl Special: Reader Questions
So, this is the end of the Erik Aadahl Special. Hope you've enjoyed it. Here are the answers to all the questions made by the readers on comments, email, twitter, etc. Thanks for participating!
Designing Sound Reader: Hi Erik, I see you're using the 191 for most of your SFX gathering. Do you ever record in other stereo formats like XY or ORTF?
Erik Aadahl: Some people find the 191 Matrix box cumbersome, but unfortunately it's needed to power the mic no matter if you shoot XY or MS because of its funky pin arrangement.
I never use the 191 in XY mode. I like the flexibility of shooting MS when I'm editing, to dial in a stereo spread that I like. When I record, I set my Sound Devices 722 to monitor MS-decoded over the headphones.
But if I want to smash up a mic I'll use a more bulletproof XY mic like the AT825. For atmospheres, spaced pairs can give a nice wide image too. I haven't shot ORTF (microphones angled 110 degrees, 17 cm apart) since film school but I do like the effect of it. 99% of the time I shoot MS.
DSR: Hello Erik. I just finished to read your interview. Thanks for all the questions, terrific stuff! I read you studied in the university and got lots of learning there. I'm curious about the status of a self-studied person (like me) in the film sound industry. Did you know someone who learned sound design by himself? I really worry about it and would be great to hear your opinions about this kind of education.
EA: Yes I went to film school, but I have to say that most of what I learned was on-the-job. There's no match for learning from a mentor and just going through the experience. A lot of what I know is from endless hours experimenting and working. The best education was starting in television, where I had to crank out an hour's worth of editing every 5 days, switching from sci-fi to period dramas to animation from week to week. I learned more practical knowledge that way than in film school. But I still have tons to learn. The learning should never stop.
DSR: What was the special trick with the rack of plugins controlled by a Theremin Erik Aadahl discovered when he was working on Transformers – Revenge of the fallen.
EA: I've been getting that question a lot. The most important thing I want to convey in all these sound design dialogues is this: it's about the process, not necessarily the end goal. For me, the art of sound is not about reproducing the work you like, but experimenting, improvising, making a challenge for oneself and finding your own voice. That's the fun of it!
I like to be open about how I make sounds, but the modified theremin is one of the few things that I'd like to keep secret. With it, we made signature sounds for Transformers ROTF that I'd like to keep exclusive to that universe. We'll be evolving the technique even more in Transformers 3.Read More

Let $X\geqslant 0$ be a random variable. Then, we have
$$\mathcal{E}(X)=\int_0^\infty P(X>t)dt$$
(provided $\mathcal{E}(X)$ exists).
Suppose we have a finite data set $\{(d_1, a_1), \ldots, (d_n, a_n)\}$ consisting of pairs or real numbers where $d_i$ stands for a level (height) of some vessel and $a_i$ is the area of the surface of the vesel at level $d_i$.
How can I apply the above mentioned formula to calculate the (expected) capacity of the vessel?

This 16th Century Tsar ruled for nearly 40 years and was one of the early masters of artillery. He led an army of death squads on horseback in a bloodthirsty rampage that transformed Russia from a medieval state into a powerful empire. When slaughter on the battlefield was not enough to satisfy his bloodlust, the sadistic Ivan "The Terrible" personally smothered or poisoned his enemies, sometimes cooking them alive during his visits to the torture chambers. He was the Saddam Hussein of his time, and will be Season 3's Vlad the Impaler.
Region: Russia
Weapons: Pischal, Bardiche, Sablia, chain mail with plate steel panels, and Fluted helmet.
Reign: 1530 - 1584
Key Battles: Established the Streltsi forces, the first paid and structured army in Russian history. Under Ivan, the Streltsi grew to an army of 12,000. It has been said that "no one sovereign of Christendom has so many guns as them." They carried out Ivan's war orders armed with muskets, sabers, and deadly long hafted axe.

Tuesday, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the German National Football Team played like the best team in the world, scoring seven goals in their World Cup semifinal match against hapless hosts Brazil, perhaps the worst "contender" ever to play host in a World Cup. The score line was a fair reflection of the performance of the teams besides being a historic win for Germany and the worst defeat in the history of Brazilian football.
The German weekly Die Zeit simply said: "Germany in World Cup final after 7-1 win over Brazil."
The first half had already ended in a 5-0 shellacking, but the second half seemed the needed completion of the spanking Brazil had earned not only by undeservedly reaching the semifinal via officiating largesse, but also for the hubris of thinking they were going to be competitive with such a pedestrian roster as coach Luis Felipe Scolari had chosen.
It was instructive to notice the number of miscues that piled up as the Brazilian players, one and all, seemed unable to put three passes together, or miss hit shots a middle school player would be embarrassed to have missed. In only the second span of play in which they actually created chances, a 12-minute burst, the Brazilians found themselves with four goal scoring chances obtained more out of the will to move forward and the courage of a team who knew they had nothing to lose, than anything else.
But as those chances materialized each successive Brazilian, Bernard, Oscar, Ramires, and Paulinho, simply could not put the ball on the frame or around Manuel Neuer. As the game reached the 82nd minute mark the Brazilian fans finally gave up on their sorry team and began to chant "Ole" every time the German team passed the ball successfully.
Andre Schurrle, at the 68th and 78th minutes, put away the sixth and seventh German goals, both from within the box after the Brazilian defenders had been passed by, seemingly swatted away as so many gnats.
At the 84th minute, the announcers for ESPN, ESPN Deportes and Univision all agreed that the host team was beyond beaten, they were waiting for the whistle to blow so they could leave the pitch and the stadium as quickly as possible.
At the 90:30 mark Oscar got a breakaway goal that he seemed more embarrassed to have scored than anything else. Perhaps the futility of the act in the midst of this infamously historic game got to him.
The Germans to both their credit and shame felt the need to put the pedal to their locomotive in a half they could simply have spent sleeping. Coach Joachim Low could be seen covering his broad smile with his cupped hands while carrying on with his assistants on the bench.
At game's end coach Scolari tried to corral any player who came by him to hug him and absolve him of fault for the defeat. Meanwhile captain David Luiz who had taken over the role for the suspended Thiago Silva, bravely and tearfully responded to media questions post-game. In short he said: "We did our best under the circumstances but today was not our day and it was clearly our opponents' day. We all, in this team, feel sorry for this result. We just wanted to make our fans happy, there are so many of them going through such tough times. I am personally sorry we could not make them smile today."
Brazilian daily Folha de Sao Paulo had a banner headline that screamed: "Historic reversal!" The subheading said: "Germany destroyed Brazil 7-1 and moves on to its eighth World Cup final." Article headers were: "Brazil humiliated again trying to win a World Cup at home," and "Brazil suffers greatest defeat of all times," and "Fans leave stadium at half-time."
The match's result was a foregone conclusion for the last sixty minutes of the match. Our prediction that Brazil had made a devil's pact when they won the 2013 Confederations Cup unfairly on home soil became a fulfilled prophecy. Today the Germans were the deserving winners and should be considered the favorites to take the trophy home against either team in the other semifinal.

More than a year after his death, beloved Claggett Middle School teacher Bob Capito continues to inspire students to read.
On Tuesday, the Medina middle school held a reception for students and parents at the school's library to unveil more than 100 new books purchased using memorial donations for Capito.
Library media specialist Tharen Houck said well-wishers donated $1,260 to the library in honor of Capito, who died June 20, 2012.
The books were chosen to get kids excited about reading, she said. They include mysteries, supernatural books, fantasies and graphic novels.
Capito, 55, had been a Claggett Middle School language arts teacher for 15 years.
Lauren Pytel, a junior at Medina High School, said Capito taught her in eighth grade.
"He was the best teacher I ever had," she said. "He really made me feel good about my writing. He got me into Power of the Pen," a competition for young writers.
Pytel said Capito didn't just focus on high-achieving students.
"He didn't have favorites," she said. "He helped everyone."
Capito helped his colleagues out as well.
Matthew Mattie, a seventh-grade Claggett language arts teacher, said he worked with Capito for a year.
"He really helped me to be a stronger teacher of writing," Mattie said. "He would really push kids hard. He taught me how to push kids."

Mansfield manager Paul Cox was rewarded for his club's victory at the weekend - with an Aston Martin.
Club chairman John Radford handed the manager his car following The Stags' 8-1 win against Barrow.
Radford told Cox at half-time that he was giving him the vehicle.
The car was presented to Cox as a reward after the chairman said he wanted to improve on the previous result against Barrow where Mansfield won 7-0.
The Aston Martin was waiting for the manager in the car park, complete with personalised registration MT51 COX.
Cox told Sky News he had got a lot of banter from the players as they joked he resembled James Bond.
He added: "I'm not sure how much it's worth, some have said it's worth £80,000, but it's a lovely motor car and great to drive."

Winemaker's Notes:
Produced according to the most traditional Chianti Classico fermentation processes on the skins, in temperature-controlled tanks at a temperature of 28°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in steel tanks. The wine is bottled a year after harvest, after several (5/7) months ageing in medium and large capacity French oak casks – from 15 to 50 hectolitres.
The moderate use of the wood, the choice of large casks, according to the most classical method, allows the wine to preserve the most natural characteristics of the Sangiovese grape, bringing them into harmony: fruitiness, freshness and the level of tannin.

Java Development News:
Open source integration framework keeps motorists safe in the UK
15 May 2012 | TheServerSide.com
Automotive rescue and recovery services in the UK gained significant messaging advantages over the past few years. The new Automotive Network Services (ANS) system, built and maintained by Apex Networks, connects automotive clubs and insurance agencies with the mechanics, riggers, and first responders that provide emergency services to accidents and disabled vehicles.
Conceived of in 2010, the ANS is a joint venture spearheaded by nine of the top auto insurance companies in the United Kingdom. Together they realized that although each had the basic components available in most areas, none of them could individually provide reliable coverage everywhere in the Kingdom, but that together they could.
The ANS network, built on Apache projects with help from FuseSource, allows each auto service provider access to the full network of tow services and emergency responders. When an incident is reported, the system will find and notify the nearest vehicle that can handle the event.
The system's matrix takes into account a variety of factors, including distance, needed skill sets and necessary equipment, to determine the most appropriate contact point. If this contact does not respond in under three minutes with an estimated time of arrival, the system will automatically move on to the next available contact point until a single point of contact is confirmed.
The challenge for Apex was to provide fast reliable messaging in high volumes, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three-hundred sixty-five days a year, with the ability to scale out horizontally across all of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In any given year the AMS system will send and receive over 100 million messages in order to handle automotive emergencies across the entire UK. The acceptance rate for downtime is understandably low.
Apex Networks directors Steve Williams and Chris White evaluated several different options before settling on an open source solution aimed at enterprise Java developers. Up until this point, Apex had been "Probably the furthest thing from an enterprise Java shop," according to White. Apex Networks was traditionally a Microsoft shop.
The first option they explored was Microsoft's BizTalk systems. While BizTalk had all the functionality they were looking for, the folks at Apex were concerned about support issues. According to Williams, "You can get a hold of support from Microsoft, but it's not quick."
The team also considered other commercial messaging software, like IBM's WebSphere, before settling on an open source system. However, Williams and others were concerned about proprietary licensing fees, which can escalate on a per unit basis and would make it hard to meet the requirement of horizontal scalability.
Going with open source software allowed Apex to ensure that licensing costs wouldn't interfere with getting their network installed everywhere they needed it. Not just in garages, police stations, and other dispatch centers but in the fire trucks, tow trucks, police cars and other response vehicles, and even on the smartphones and PDAs of the response personnel.

Successfully joined my Linux Box to a Windows AD Domain. Wanted to know from other admins if it us possible to specify what groups from windows ad is allowed to login? Otherwise anyone with a AD account can login. Suggestions?
I've recently completed a Linux/AD integration project at my employer. I tried out Likewise, but didn't appreciate the complete mess it made out of the LDAP tree in Active Directory. Anyway, I ended up going the "homebrew" route with mit-kerberos, ldap, and pam_ldap - we couldn't be happier. I use the
I heartily recommend Likewise-Open for this sort of thing (http://www.beyondtrust.com/Products/PowerBroker-Identity-Services-Open-Edition/), because they make it dead simple to specify the groups able to log in, and the like.
The simplicity and time savings alone is worth checking it out. I built an AD infrastructure specifically to authenticate Linux users against AD, and I used this tool to do the configuration. I'm not a paid shill, I've just had such a good experience with it that I can't talk about it enough.
Go to where the computer object is located in AD and right click and select Properties. Under the security tab you can specify who has access and their rights on the machine.

Jewish power attacking Germany long before WWII
- From: "History" <history@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 12:17:25 -0500
Speech by Benjamin Freedman on Jewish power attacking Germany long before
"Here in the United States, the Zionists and their co-religionists have
complete control of our government. For many reasons, too many and too
complex to go into here at this time, the Zionists and their co-religionists
rule these United States as though they were the absolute monarchs of this
country. Now you may say that is a very broad statement, but let me show you
what happened while we were all asleep.
The First World War.
What happened? World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. There are few
people here my age who remember that. Now that war was waged on one side by
Great Britain, France, and Russia; and on the other side by Germany,
Austria-Hungary, and Turkey.
Within two years Germany had won that war: not only won it nominally, but
won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the world,
had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean. Great Britain stood there
without ammunition for her soldiers, with one week's food supply and after
that, starvation. At that time, the French army had mutinied. They had lost
600,000 of the flower of French youth in the defense of Verdun on the Somme.
The Russian army was defecting, they were picking up their toys and going
home, they didn't want to play war anymore, they didn't like the Czar. And
the Italian army had collapsed.
Not a shot had been fired on German soil. Not one enemy soldier had crossed
the border into Germany. And yet, Germany was offering England peace terms.
They offered England a negotiated peace on what the lawyers call a status
quo ante basis. That means: "Let's call the war off, and let everything be
as it was before the war started." England, in the summer of 1916 was
considering that - seriously. They had no choice. It was either accepting
this negotiated peace that Germany was magnanimously offering them, or going
on with the war and being totally defeated.
Stalemate in 1916. Zionists Offer to get USA into the War
While that was going on, the Zionists in Germany, who represented the
Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet and (I am
going to be brief because it's a long story, but I have all the documents to
prove any statement that I make) they said: "Look here. You can yet win this
war. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated
peace offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United
States will come in as your ally." The United States was not in the war at
that time. We were fresh; we were young; we were rich; we were powerful.
They told England: "We will guarantee to bring the United States into the
war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us
Palestine after you win the war." In other words, they made this deal: "We
will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must
pay is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany,
Austria-Hungary, and Turkey." Now England had as much right to promise
Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to
Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great
Britain, that never had any connection or any interest or any right in what
is known as Palestine should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the
Zionists for bringing the United States into the war.* However, they did
make that promise, in October of 1916. And shortly after that (I don't know
how many here remember it) the United States, which was almost totally
pro-German, entered the war as Britain's ally.
I say that the United States was almost totally pro-German because the
newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews, all the
media of mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews; and
they, the Jews, were pro-German. They were pro-German because many of them
had come from Germany, and also they wanted to see Germany lick the Czar.
The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war.
These German-Jew bankers, like Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking firms in
the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of one
dollar. They stood aside and they said: "As long as France and England are
tied up with Russia, not one cent!" But they poured money into Germany, they
fought beside Germany against Russia, trying to lick the Czarist regime.
Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting Palestine,
went to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything changed,
like a traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers
had been all pro-German, where they'd been telling the people of the
difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially and
in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were
villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were
cutting off babies' hands. They were no good. Shortly after that, Mr. Wilson
declared war on Germany.
USA Railroaded into World War I after Balfour Declaration
The Zionists in London had sent cables to the United States, to Justice
Brandeis, saying "Go to work on President Wilson. We're getting from England
what we want. Now you go to work on President Wilson and get the United
States into the war." That's how the United States got into the war. We had
no more interest in it; we had no more right to be in it than we have to be
on the moon tonight instead of in this room. There was absolutely no reason
for World War I to be our war. We were railroaded into (if I can be vulgar,
we were suckered into) that war merely so that the Zionists of the world
could obtain Palestine. That is something that the people of the United
States have never been told. They never knew why we went into World War I.
After we got into the war, the Zionists went to Great Britain and they said:
"Well, we performed our part of the agreement. Let's have something in
writing that shows that you are going to keep your bargain and give us
Palestine after you win the war." They didn't know whether the war would
last another year or another ten years. So they started to work out a
receipt. The receipt took the form of a letter, which was worded in very
cryptic language so that the world at large wouldn't know what it was all
about. And that was called the Balfour Declaration.
The Balfour Declaration was merely Great Britain's promise to pay the
Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting the United
States into the war. So this great Balfour Declaration, that you hear so
much about, is just as phony as a three dollar bill. I don't think I could
make it more emphatic than that.
That is where all the trouble started. The United States got in the war. The
United States crushed Germany. You know what happened. When the war ended,
and the Germans went to Paris for the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 there
were 117 Jews there, as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by
Bernard Baruch. I was there: I ought to know. Now what happened? The Jews at
that peace conference, when they were cutting up Germany and parceling out
Europe to all these nations who claimed a right to a certain part of
European territory, said, "How about Palestine for us?" And they produced,
for the first time to the knowledge of the Germans, this Balfour
Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time realized, "Oh, so that was
the game! That's why the United States came into the war." The Germans for
the first time realized that they were defeated, they suffered the terrific
reparations that were slapped onto them, because the Zionists wanted
Palestine* and were determined to get it at any cost.
Effect on Germans when they understood Jewish Activity
That brings us to another very interesting point. When the Germans realized
this, they naturally resented it. Up to that time, the Jews had never been
better off in any country in the world than they had been in Germany. You
had Mr. Rathenau there, who was maybe 100 times as important in industry and
finance as is Bernard Baruch in this country. You had Mr. Balin, [Albert
Ballin-RW] who owned the two big steamship lines, the North German Lloyd's
and the Hamburg-American Lines. You had Mr. Bleichroder, who was the banker
for the Hohenzollern family. You had the Warburgs in Hamburg, who were the
big merchant bankers - the biggest in the world. The Jews were doing very
well in Germany. No question about that. The Germans felt: "Well, that was
quite a sellout."
It was a sellout that might be compared to this hypothetical situation:
Suppose the United States was at war with the Soviet Union. And we were
winning. And we told the Soviet Union: "Well, let's quit. We offer you peace
terms. Let's forget the whole thing." And all of a sudden Red China came
into the war as an ally of the Soviet Union. And throwing them into the war
brought about our defeat.* A crushing defeat, with reparations the likes of
which man's imagination cannot encompass.! Imagine, then, after that defeat,
if we found out that it was the Chinese in this country, our Chinese
citizens, who all the time we had thought were loyal citizens working with
us, were selling us out to the Soviet Union and that it was through them
that Red China was brought into the war against us. How would we feel, then,
in the United States against Chinese? I don't think that one of them would
dare show his face on any street. There wouldn't be enough convenient
lampposts to take care of them. Imagine how we would feel.
Well, that's how the Germans felt towards these Jews. They'd been so nice to
them: from 1905 on, when the first Communist revolution in Russia failed,
and the Jews had to scramble out of Russia, they all went to Germany. And
Germany gave them refuge. And they were treated very nicely. And here they
had sold Germany down the river for no reason at all other than the fact
that they wanted Palestine* as a so-called "Jewish commonwealth."
Now Nahum Sokolow, and all the great leaders and great names that you read
about in connection with Zionism today, in 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, and 1923
wrote in all their papers (and the press was filled with their statements)
that the feeling against the Jews in Germany is due to the fact that they
realized that this great defeat was brought about by Jewish intercession in
bringing the United States into the war. The Jews themselves admitted that.
It wasn't that the Germans in 1919 discovered that a glass of Jewish blood
tasted better than Coca-Cola or Muenschner Beer. There was no religious
feeling. There was no sentiment against those people merely on account of
their religious belief. It was all political. It was economic. It was
anything but religious. Nobody cared in Germany whether a Jew went home and
pulled down the shades and said "Shema' Yisroel" or "Our Father." Nobody
cared in Germany any more than they do in the United States. Now this
feeling that developed later in Germany was due to one thing: the Germans
held the Jews responsible for their crushing defeat (and the reparations,
which ruined and crippled Germany financially)."

TUSCALOOSA, ALA – In the final home meet of the regular season, the University of Alabama gymnastics team relied on strong performances from junior Ashley Miles and senior Alexis Brion to overpower the North Carolina Tar Heels, 196.325-194.550.
"On the vault and floor, I thought we were at a championship level, not only the performance but the level of enthusiasm," Alabama head coach Sarah Patterson said. "We just need to the same on the bars and the beam.
Miles won the all-around title, scoring a 39.500, including a 9.925 to win the vault and a 9.950 the floor. Brion tied her career best to win the floor exercise with a 9.975. Freshman Terin Humphrey won the uneven bars with a 9.85.
"The last thing that Sarah and David told me before tonight was just to enjoy myself," Brion said. "It was great to finish my home season on a high. We just need to work hard in the gym and get ready for the SEC. This team is really hungry for an SEC Championship."
Humphrey and junior Mari Bayer chipped in a pair of 9.9s on the floor exercise to go with Brion and Miles scores to lead Alabama to a season best score of 49.575. UNC closed out the night with a 48.200 on the balance beam.
"We had fun," Miles said. "We had good landings. The dance was good. That's one event that we've got under our belts."
Behind a 9.9 leadoff from Hrozek and a 9.925 from Miles, Alabama got off to a 49.4 start on the vault, tying its second highest score of the season. Sophomore Brittany Comeaux posted a season high 9.85, a score matched by Humphrey. UNC started the night with a 48.375 on the uneven bars.
The Tide ran into some trouble on the uneven bars when two of its first three competitors fell, pushing them to a 48.475 total. Alabama finished the rotation off with a pair of 9.825s from Miles and junior Mari Bayer and a 9.85 from Humphrey. UNC posted a 49.1 on the vault.
"I didn't think we would be perfect, but I didn't expect the problems we had on the bars," Patterson said.
On the balance beam, Alabama got a trio of 9.8s from Hrozek, Bayer and Miles, leading to a 48.875. UNC added a 48.975 floor exercise score to its total.
It was senior night in Coleman Coliseum and the Crimson Tide played tribute to Brion, Shannon Hrozek and Michelle Reeser both before and after the meet. The three women, members of the 2002 NCAA Championship squad, received a standing ovation at meets end.
And with an attendance of 10,673 on the night, Alabama averaged 10,570 fans per meet for the season, a new school and Southeastern Conference attendance record.
With the regular season behind them, Alabama moves on to the Southeastern Conference Championships Saturday (March 26) in Duluth, Ga. For ticket information, contact the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262).

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Moreira, Airto (Guimorva)
Moreira, Airto (Guimorva), percussion, drums, singer; b. Itaiopolis, Brazil, 5 August 1941. Itaiopolis is a small village in the Santa Catarina state of southern Brasil; he was raised in the city of Curitiba, capital of the state of Parana. They lived on the outskirts of town with no electricity, just kerosene lamps and a fire burning stove.
His father Jose Rosa Moreira was a spiritual healer all of his life. Guimorva is the mother's family name.
Even before he could walk Airto would start shaking and banging on the floor every time the radio played a hot song. This worried his mother, but his grandmother recognized his potential and encouraged him to express himself. By the time he was six years old he had won many children's music contests by singing and playing percussion. The city gave him his own radio program once a week. The mayor offered him a full scholarship to the Music Academy of Ponta Grossa, where he studied piano and guitar from 1948-50, though percussion remained his serious interest. At thirteen he became a professional musician, playing percussion, drums, and singing in local dance bands. He moved to Sao Paulo at the age of sixteen and performed regularly in nightclubs and television as a percussionist, drummer and singer. By 1963, Airto had moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he cofounded the legendary Quarteto Novo (New Quartet) with Hermeto Pascoal, Theofilo De Barros and Heraldo Do Mon te. During his travels he collected numerous percussion instruments. In 1965 he met the singer Flora Purim in Rio de Janeiro. Flora moved to Los Angeles in 1967 and Airto followed her about a month later. Percussionist Moacir Santos lived in the same apartment building. They soon moved to New York, where Flora worked in a restaurant called Lost &Found. Between paid gigs, Airto would play there for his dinner. Airto soon began playing with musicians such as Reggie Workman, JJ Johnson, Cedar Walton and bassist Walter Booker. It was through Booker that Airto began playing with Cannonball Adderley, Lee Morgan, Paul Desmond and Joe Zawinul, to name a few. Zawinul recommended Airto to Miles Davis for a recording session in 1970 for the "Bitches Brew" album. Davis then invited Airto to join his group, which included such jazz icons as Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, Jack De Johnette, Chick Corea and later John McLaughlin and Keith Jarrett. He remained with Miles for two years. Following his stint with Miles Davis, Airto was invited to form the original Weather Report with Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Miroslav Vitous and Alphonse Mouzon. Soon after, he joined Chick Corea's original Return to Forever group with Flora Purim, Joe Farrell and Stanley Clarke. In 1974 Airto formed his first band in the U.S., "Fingers" with Flora Purim. Since then they have performed constantly all over the world and recorded their own album for major record companies in Europe and America. Airto remains one of popular music's most in demand percussionists. His work with Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, George Duke and Paul Simon, Carlos Santana, Gil Evans, Gato Barbieri, Michael Brecker, The Crusaders, Chicago, and many others including contributions to movie sound tracks such as The Exorcist, Last Tango in Paris, King of the Gypsies and Apocalypse Now, represents only a small number of the musical contributions Airto has made over the last three decades. His impact was so powerful that Downbeat magazine added the category of percussion to its readers and critic's polls, which he has won over twenty times since 1973. In the past few years he was voted number one percussionist by Jazz Times, Modern Drummer, Drum Magazine, Jazzizz Magazine, Jazz Central Station's Global Jazz Poll on the Internet, as well as in many European, Latin American and Asian publications. He has been advancing the cause of world and percussion music as a member of the "Planet Drum" percussion ensemble, with Mickey Hart, drummer for "The Grateful Dead", and master conga player Giovanni Hidalgo and tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain, along with Flora Purim, Babatunde Olatunji, Sikiru Adepoju and Vikku Vinayakram. Planet Drum won a Grammy Award in 1991 for World Music. Airto's love for the music and the people of his native country of Brazil takes him back every year to visit old friends and relatives as well as to pay respects to his spiritual guides and elders. Airto has been involved in "Spiritism" since an early age and used to go to the "sessions" with his father. His lifelong interest in spirituality led him to record The Other Side of This, an exploration into the healing powers of music and the spiritual world. Most recently Airto performed as a guest star with the Boston Pops Philharmonic Orchestra on a special for the PBS TV, and the Smashing Pumpkins "Unplugged" for MTV. His song "Maracatu" was chosen to be one of the official songs for the 2002 World Cup in Asia to open the ceremonies for the event in Japan. His song "Celebration Suite" was re-mixed by the DJ group "Bellini Brothers" entitled "Samba de Janeiro". The track hit #1 in the dance music charts over 26 countries around Europe, Asia and Latin America. Airto has worked together with and had his music re-mixed by Frederic Galliano, Giles Peterson, Endemic Void, Justice, Ashley Beedle, Circadian Rhythms, Jimpster, Amon Tobin, and Max Breenen, among others. Once again Airto was voted the number one percussionist of the year (2001) on the 66th Readers Annual Poll on "Down Beat Magazine". In September of 2002, Brazil's President Fernando Henrique Cardoso named Airto Moreira and Flora Purim to the "Order of Rio Branco", one of Brazil's highest honors. The Order of Rio Branco was created in 1963 to formally recognize Brazilian and foreign individuals who have significantly contributed to the promotion of Brazil's international relations. The order is named after Barao do Rio Branco, Brazil's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1902 to 1912, famous for his role in negotiating the national borders of Brazil and referred as the "Father of Brazil's Diplomacy". After many shows in many countries and venues, Airto chose the year of 2002 to make an old dream come true. This was to teach the Brazilian people a little bit of his musical technique and also about life, spiritualism, energy and much more. Invited by the Alexandria Library in Egypt, Airto played at the re-opening event that brought people from around the world to attend it. Due to its enormous success, he has already been invited to return. It was a great musical and personal experience. For three years Airto was a professor at the Ethnomusicology department of UCLA, and broke new ground in musical concepts and creative energy. He divided his time between recording studios, workshops and clinics, creating new projects including DVD Surround Sound, as well as researching new materials for future releases, and live performances in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

text: The Miz took a big hit from Kofi Kingston's Trouble in Paradise on last night's WWE Raw. We gave an injury update on The Miz earlier, which stated that he would undergo evaluation. After being examined, The Miz did not suffer a concussion and he will be able to defend the Intercontinental Championship against Kofi on WWE's Main Event.

Is there a way to access my (headless) Mac mini from my Windows laptop? Via WiFi networking preferred, but if needed I can bring along a hub to connect the 2 machines.
I'm looking either for a good remote desktop solution or a way to use the laptop display for my Mac mini (and plugging in a keyboard into the Mac).
