The Mexican Gray Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), is the rarest, most genetically distinct subspecies of the Gray Wolf in North America. Until recent times, the Mexican Gray Wolf ranged the Sonora and Chihuahua Deserts from central Mexico to western Texas, southern New Mexico, and central Arizona. By the turn of the 20th century, reduction of natural prey like deer and elk caused many wolves to begin attacking domestic livestock, which led to intensive efforts by government agencies and...
The Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos), also called Polar Wolf or White Wolf, is a member of the Canidae family, and a subspecies of Gray Wolf. Arctic Wolves inhabit the Canadian Arctic and the northern parts of Greenland. Arctic Wolves generally are smaller than Gray Wolves, being about 3 to 6 feet long including the tail, males being larger than females. Their shoulder heights vary from 25 to 31 inches. Arctic Wolves are bulkier than Gray Wolves, often weighing over 100 pounds. Weights...
The Arabian Wolf (Canis lupus arabs), is a mammal of the order Carnivora. It is a subspecies of Gray Wolf which was once found throughout the Arabian Peninsula, but now only lives in small pockets in Southern Israel, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Their ears are proportionately larger in relation to body size when compared to other species, an adaptation needed to disperse body heat. This subspecies is unusual, as it is not known to howl. Arabian wolves are unique among gray...
The African Wild Dog, Lycaon pictus, also known as the African Hunting Dog Cape Hunting Dog, or Painted Hunting Dog, is a mammal of the Canidae family. It is related to the domestic dog.

I keep reading people saying some variation on this point in this thread, and I think that you're talking past the OP. He's not suggesting that laws be passed to prevent it, just that it is a bad practice that we should ask to have amended or not support.
I mean, yea, they can price the thing any way that they want, but we can criticize the practice and talk about how it affects the consumer without Captain Obvious pointing it out every thread.
It's not even relevant really. Does anyone not know that ESO can use whatever pricing method they want? Has any new or useful information been revealed by your point? No.
Now, is it a practice that you, as a gamer, would be happy to have in a game that you want to play? I would venture to say that you probably wouldn't want to have to pay for content beyond the box price + subscription if you could avoid it. If you would want to pay that extra money, make that argument, but you're just stating the obvious as it is now.

Originally posted by TangentPoint
Well, isn't everyone arguing hypotheticals? Your original statement was about how you think that people want a PVE server because it makes them mad that PVPers have a place without them. That argument doesn't really hold water. You haven't really shown that Darkfall must only cater to the hardcore pvp crowd or that, in some way, a pve server would do damage to that crowd just by its existence, though that's what you seem to have implied in your argument.
I responded that, if it makes money, and people enjoy it, and it does not affect the pvp server, then it would be a good thing to have.
You response pointed out, in short, that it either couldn't or wouldn't happen for a number of valid reasons, abandoning your earlier points about pve players being some sort of locust entity that wants to ruin things for you (which is what I was originally arguing against. I know it's confusing, but stay with me!)
Then you agreed with me, saying that it might work to have a pve server, seemingly admitting that it wouldn't necessarily ruin your own fun on Darkfall.
But now you're getting mad again, and I don't understand it. We started off in hypothetical land, you're the one who abandoned that discussion. You seem to be fairly smart and adept at the argument stuff, or you know the lingo at least, so I don't understand how you could make such grave errors.
Now as to talk about whether or not Darkfall should make a PVE server, or a prediction of whether or not they will make such a thing, I'd say that it's pretty unlikely. But that doesn't mean that PVE players are mad that DF exists or that they want to ruin your fun or that a pve server would necessarily affect the pvp server in any way, and that is a position worthy of ridicule.

Thanks for the logic lesson, let me respond. The saturation of the market, my specific tastes in games, and your own vision of the players to whom the game is catering are irrelevant to the argument. You're mad over nothing, and kind of a tool.
I hate PVE games, and I don't play them. I wouldn't play DF on the pve server.
I'm just saying that if a PVE server brings in more money for the game, it would be a good thing. If not, it wouldn't. That's all. It wouldn't ruin the game for anyone, and if the pve is as good as people are claiming, it may be a good alternative for some people who are tired of themeparks but aren't quite in to the gankfest.

I still don't see the problem with a PVE server though. Assuming that the server is separate, with zero chance for crossover characters, and assuming that it makes money and brings more people to the games, it wouldn't harm any aspect of the currently existing game, and could work to improve it with the money that comes in from the new subscribers.
The only way a PVE server could be a negative is if it fails to bring enough people to support itself. That could affect the quality of the game, but the existance of the PVE server itself has zero effect on a pvp player's experience.

Why do people always say that about open world pvp? Why must ganking be seen as indicative of some personal flaw in the ganker? It's this kind of impotent crying that the ganked party uses to comfort itself, which I would hope that most grow out of by the time they hit max level. "Oh, he ganked me, he must live in his mother's basement," No, son, he ganked you because it's a pvp server and that's what happens. It's not sad or pathetic; it's just part of the game.
My bet is that you'll say something similar about players in GW2 who beat you consistently. Oh, he only beats me all the time because he plays all day or he always brings friends or he uses the terrain in an interesting way. It's just the mindset of a sore loser.
In addition, that view of ganking totally contradicts your positives in an opvp game. Power imbalance is one of the biggest parts of the unpredictability of world pvp. Some of the most fun I have had is with several low level characters trying to take on a higher level one, or even beating an enemy in pvp when outmatched. Sure, it is rare that you can deal with a ganker on your own, but there are always solutions to any pvp problem, and it usually involves more pvp.

International Notes Spectinomycin-Resistant B-Lactamase-Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae--England
Spectinomycin-resistant B-lactamase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been isolated from a female, aged 23 years, and a male, aged 29 years, after treatment failure (ampicillin/probenecid followed by spectinomycin), although original isolates were found to be sensitive by disc tests. Both patients acquired the infection in London but are not known to be connected. The consort of the first case was traced and treated without development of spectinomycin resistance. Plasmid analysis of the strains showed that both carried Asian type plasmids. Reported by Communicable Disease Report (London). 1982;32:31.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: Spectinomycin has been the recommended therapy for persons who have penicillinase producing N. gonorrhoeae (PPNG) infections and for those who have failed to respond to gonorrhea treatment (1). The first of two cases of spectinomycin-resistant PPNG identified in 1981 was reported to CDC by the United States Air Force in California in April 1981 (2). The Air Force conducted an intensive investigation overseas for additional cases related to this initial case; none was identified. The second case was identified in London in November 1981 (3). The 1981 cases and the two recent cases reported above have not been epidemiologically connected.
Spectinomycin-resistant gonococci are uncommon; the total number of reported cases is now eight, four with PPNG and four with non-PPNG. CDC continues to advise that all gonococcal isolates be tested for penicillinase production and that PPNG isolates be tested for spectinomycin resistance (4). Procedures for a provisional disc-diffusion technique are available (5). All spectinomycin-resistant gonococcal isolates should be forwarded to CDC through state health department laboratories; surveillance is essential to describe the distribution and trends of spectinomycin-resistant PPNG. For such cases, the recommended alternative therapies are: cefoxitin 2g intramuscularly (IM) plus probenecid 1g orally or cefotaxime 1g IM (2).

22 fishermen from Nagapattinam, 18 from Karaikal in Sri Lankan custody
Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has sought Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's immediate intervention for the release of 22 fishermen from Nagapattinam district and 18 fishermen from Karaikal in Puducherry. They were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy near Pulmoddai in Sri Lanka's east coast on December 3.
In a letter to him on Wednesday, Ms. Jayalalithaa said the fishermen were engaged in fishing in the Bay of Bengal in five mechanised boats. The boats and fishermen were reportedly taken to the Trincomalee harbour for further investigation and it was now learnt that they had been remanded till December 10. The Indian Navy has confirmed the arrest.
Such incidents of apprehension and harassment of innocent Indian fishermen had become a regular occurrence in the past few months, creating a feeling of insecurity and fear among fishermen, she said pointing out that the Sri Lankan boats and fishermen who poached in the Indian EEZ were warned and sent back whenever such incidents occurred in the vicinity of Tamil Nadu.
"No apprehension of Sri Lankan fishermen has occurred in the Tamil Nadu waters in the recent past. The Sri Lankan authorities should reciprocate the gesture of goodwill and release the Tamil Nadu fishermen immediately, after ascertaining the genuineness of these apprehended 40 fishermen," Ms. Jayalalithaa said.
The action of the Sri Lankan Navy in detaining fishermen would only escalate the tensions between the two countries, besides causing immense anxiety and unrest among the fishing community, the Chief Minister said. She asked the Prime Minister to use his good offices to prevail upon the Sri Lankan authorities to immediately release the 40 fishermen and their five boats without filing any cases.

Pollution from coal-fired power plants have a serious impact on our health. Every year, it causes exacerbated asthma, heart problems, hospital visits, and worst of all, premature death—especially among vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly and people with asthma. This spring, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear industry's challenge to the Mercury & Air Toxics Standards for Power Plants in National Mining Association v. EPA.
Two Pennsylvanians, Marti Blake and Martin Garrigan, share what it means to live in the shadow of a smokestack and the specter of a plume:
1 "It's like hell. Living in hell," says Marti Blake, as she points at the coal-fired power plant that dominates the view from her living room, in Springdale, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. "It's filthy; it's dirty; it's noisy—it's unhealthy."
In 2011, the Obama administration committed to cleaning up the unrivaled amounts of mercury, arsenic and other toxic air pollution emitted by coal-fired power plants—the nation's worst toxic air polluters. The Mercury & Air Toxics Standards will save thousands of lives and result in reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide and fine particles, further cleaning up the air we breathe.
2 "I spend most of my life thinking and worrying about the pollution that's coming out of that plant," says Blake, who has lived underneath the stacks for more than twenty years and has had health problems the entire time.
Earthjustice has worked for more than a decade to achieve the first-ever clean air protections against coal-fired power plants, which will improve the lives and health of Americans across the country who now suffer from tremendous pollution.
3 "It's awful. I try to keep it clean, but that's pretty much impossible," she said.
The Mercury & Air Toxics Standards' impact on health will be substantial. When it takes effect, it will prevent 4,700 heart attacks, 6,300 cases of acute bronchitis, 130,000 childhood asthma attacks and up to 11,000 premature deaths every year. This spring, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear industry's challenge to the Standards. The coal industry and its allies are claiming that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cannot decide whether to protect the public and the environment from toxic air pollution without first considering the effect on the industry's bottom line.
4 Blake has been prescribed medication to alleviate a chronic cough, runny nose, headaches and sinus infections. She has been taking the medication ever since moving next to the plant.
"Basically, I've felt like I have a cold for 21 years now," Blake said.
5 With her neighbor Martin Garrigan, Blake has worked to try to get the plant to clean up its noise and air pollution.
"Neighborliness doesn't trump profits," says Earthjustice's James Pew, an attorney who has worked for more than a decade to clean up coal plants. "Until the government actually sets standards that require these big neighbors to control their pollution, it's not going to happen."
6 "Living next to a coal plant is like the neighbor from hell just moved in," says Martin Garrigan.
"They've just bought a huge house and put up a 750-foot tall stack that's spewing poisons out over your head and creating so much noise that you often can't sleep at night from it."
7 "The school nurse has referred to the 'epidemic of asthma' in the area," says Garrigan. "I've told my kids that they should move away from here as soon as they graduate." Garrigan's daughter is one of several children in the area who have asthma.
8 The United States gets 45 percent of its electricity from coal-fired power plants like the one in Springdale. However, many people who live near the stacks pay a disproportionately large burden for the power that all of us enjoy.
One in 20 Americans is killed by air pollution, and coal-fired power plants are a big part of the problem. The Mercury & Air Toxics Standards provide an important step towards cleaning up coal plant pollution and creating healthier communities throughout America.
9 "Nobody is put on this earth to live in filth and to breathe the filth," says Blake. "With our technologies today? We're not living back in the 18th century."
A decision for the coal industry in the U.S. Supreme Court case National Mining Association v. EPA would mean thousands of people across our country would continue to die unnecessary, premature deaths—all to protect the profits of the worst corporate polluters.

What You Can Do
The improvements in air quality will undisputedly save thousands of people every year, by reducing the incidence of heart attack, stroke, and other deadly illnesses. Show your support for our right to breathe clean air:
- 1. Spread the Word. Share these resources and help keep your friends informed of this important U.S. Supreme Court case.
- 2. Write a 'Letter to the Editor.' The editorial page is one of the most important sections of any newspaper. This is an ideal forum for conveying your message about public health issues. (Tips for writing an LTE.)
- 3. Support Earthjustice. Today's environmental challenges are greater than ever. But we live in a country of strong environmental laws—and Earthjustice holds those who break those laws accountable for their actions. Join the fight.

Will Nets-Knicks become the new Dodgers-Giants?
NEW YORK It's still more than a year before basketball's Nets forsake New Jersey for their new $1 billion home in Brooklyn. But sports fans are already noticing signs of a crosstown rivalry with the New York Knicks that they hope could echo the halcyon days when the Brooklyn Dodgers perennially battled the New York Giants for baseball's National League pennant.
The Nets and the Knicks will be hard-pressed to match the intensity of that rivalry, though there are glimpses of what's to come. The Knicks won last month's bidding war for Brooklyn-born superstar Carmelo Anthony - but not before Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov drove up the price during negotiations.
Fans of the two teams taunted one another last year with in-your-face billboards near each other's arenas. And on Thursday, Knicks star Amare Stoudemire helped New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg dedicate a basketball court just blocks from the Nets' future Brooklyn home.
Nets boosters are already tapping into Dodgers nostalgia - and Knicks fans are responding with dismissiveness.
"I live in Brooklyn. But I ain't gonna be a Nets fan," insisted 16-year-old Sam Adams, sporting a No. 7 Carmelo Anthony jersey while heading into a Knicks game Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. "I don't think a lot of people are going to be Brooklyn Nets fans, because honestly, this is the original team of New York."
Several New York rivalries succeeded Dodgers-Giants, of course, but only the Yankees and Mets share the city. They play each other six times a year and their fans enjoy bashing each other on talk radio, but they're in different leagues. The Giants and Jets share a stadium, but it's in New Jersey and they rarely play each other. The Rangers play hockey at the Garden, but their closest rivals are in New Jersey and on Long Island.
The Nets will begin their 2012-2013 season at the new arena, called Barclays Center. The teams are in the same division and will play each other frequently, just as the Dodgers and Giants did.
But for a rivalry to mean anything, both teams would have to be competitive, which the Nets in particular have struggled with in recent years.
"The Nets are going to have to start becoming a viable team," said Joe Benigno, a radio host on the all-sports WFAN. "Once they finally get into Brooklyn there will be a buzz for the Nets. That won't last if the team isn't good."
Asked about a potential rivalry, the Knicks released a statement that condescended to the Nets and Brooklyn without mentioning either by name.
"While we always respect any competition, the Garden will always be the Garden," said Barry Watkins, a spokesman for the Knicks and their home, Madison Square Garden. "Madison Square Garden is located in the heart of New York City, sitting on top of the busiest transportation hub in the nation. The Garden hosts over 400 events annually and has been a destination for New Yorkers and visitors to the city for over 130 years."

SAMHSA's Suicide Prevention Mobile App to Help Health Care Providers Save Lives
A mobile app called Suicide Safe, created by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), was released in March. Suicide Safe gives behavioral and primary health care providers tips on how to assess for suicidal risk, communicate effectively with patients and their families, determine appropriate next steps, and make referrals when needed. The app is available at no cost through SAMHSA's website.
Suicide is a significant problems in tribal communities, and we are working closely with tribal, federal, state, and community leadership to stop this preventable issue. Almost half of people who die by suicide have visited a primary care provider in the month prior to their death, and 20 percent have had contact with mental health services. Yet, many behavioral and primary health care providers have never received training on how to assess and manage suicidal patients.
Suicide Safe is a resource learning tool that provides examples of case studies, mock dialogue, and educational materials. One of the downloadable tribal publications accessible from the app is To Live to See the Great Day That Dawns: Preventing Suicide by American Indian and Alaska Native Youth and Young Adults. This guide lays the groundwork for comprehensive prevention planning, with prevention broadly defined to include programs that a community can use to promote the mental health of its youth. The guide also covers actions communities can take in response to a suicide to help heal and thereby prevent related suicidal behaviors.
SAMHSA's Suicide Safe app is available for download on Apple and Android mobile devices through http://store.samhsa.gov/apps/suicidesafe/ . Please see the press release for more information.

American Indians and Alaska Natives: How to Use Your New Health Insurance
Repost from the White House blog
By Yvette Roubideaux, M.D., M.P.H., Senior Advisor to the Secretary for American Indians and Alaska Natives at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Since many American Indians and Alaska Natives have used the Indian Health Service all their lives for health care, using health insurance can be an unfamiliar challenge. You can still use it when you visit IHS, and you can use it to access health services with other providers and facilities.
If you now have access to health insurance, through the Affordable Care Act, your job or your Tribe, using your coverage for the first time can be confusing. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the Department of Health and Human Services has developed a great brochure entitled "From Coverage to Care" and has even developed a Tribal version of this document that:
- Contains information and tips on how to understand and use your health insurance
- Serves as a very helpful roadmap with suggestions on how to choose providers and how to prepare for your health care appointment
- And is also tailored to provide you information on special benefits and resources for American Indians and Alaska Natives
For more information, go to www.healthcare.gov or https://marketplace.cms.gov/outreach-and-education/special-populations.html .

From the moment head basketball coach Rick Ray set foot on the Mississippi State campus, he knew he has his work cut out for him to rebuild a proud basketball program.
Void of veteran leadership, Ray began to cultivate Jalen Steele and Wendell Lewis into the cornerstones in which he would begin to build the program around.
There are a few college football teams across the nation that can claim to be undefeated at this point of the season.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are one of those.
After Saturday night's 30-10 victory over South Alabama, MSU stands 4-0 for the first time since 1999 and moved up in both polls on Sunday.
Not since 1999 have the Mississippi State Bulldogs opened the season a perfect 4-0, but on Saturday night, that's exactly what Dan Mullen's team did with a 30-10 win over South Alabama.
After a slow start, the Bulldog offense got going in the second quarter thanks to a LaDarius Perkins 44-yard scoring run to break the ice and give State the early 7-0 lead.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs needed to get refocused and ready.
At least that's the way analyst from ESPN radio saw the situation on Saturday morning.
After MSU escaped Troy last week with a 30-24 victory, there were many across the country that were anxious to see whether its newly achieved No. 23 ranking in The Associated Press and USA Today polls was deserved.
Mississippi State senior defensive back Johnthan Banks inched one step closer to becoming the career interception leader at the school Saturday night.
The former East Webster High School player is within one pick of tying the all-time interception record of 16 held by Walt Harris.
JACKSON – It turned out to be an easy Class 5A, Region 2, District 6 opener for the Starkville High School Yellowjackets.
After beginning the season with a 1-3 record against tough non-division competitive, Starkville went on the road to defeat the Jackson Lanier Bulldogs 48-0 on Friday night.
The Starkville Academy Volunteers may have been an underdog in Friday night's matchup with Jackson Prep.
Starkville Academy's head coach Jeff Terrill talked to his team before the game about how the Volunteers wanted to play the game.
"We need to play our football," Terrill said. "We need to play hard, fundamental football."
COLUMBUS – For the East Oktibbeha Titans, the road to the playoffs just got a lot harder.
The Titans fell to Class A, Region 3, District 4 rival West Lowndes 14-0 Friday night at Panther Field.
The Titans are now 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the district, while the Panthers improved to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in district play.
There's one particular number that makes Starkville High School defensive coordinator Brooks Oakley uncomfortable going into the Class 5A, Region 2, District 6 schedule.
The Yellowjackets have given up 25 points per game and that's too much in Oakley's mind.
Starkville Academy football coach Jeff Terrill respects Jackson Prep and what its done.
The No. 2 ranked Patriots (5-0, 1-0) in the Associated Press Private School poll, come in fresh off a 9-0 win over Class 5A opponent Pearl last Thursday night. Patriot head coach Ricky Black got his 300th career win.

Halted After Deaths, Kids' Heart Surgeries Resume At Kentucky Hospital
Joequetta Lewis got to hold her newborn son for 53 days.
"And then the next day," she said, "he was gone."
Rayshawn Lewis-Smith was one of five babies known to have died within 11 months of undergoing heart surgery at Kentucky Children's Hospital in Lexington -- surgeries that, nationally, babies usually survive.
"He was born, and he looked as healthy as any of my other children," said Sarah Moore, whose son Jaxon was the first to die. "I held him. And then three weeks later, I was burying him."
Shortly after the fifth death in 2012, Kentucky Children's decided to stop its heart surgeries and placed its only pediatric heart surgeon on leave.
At the time, the babies' parents said, they didn't receive any explanation. And today, they're still waiting for answers.
"Something happened," Lewis said. "Can't nobody give me no answers."
But now, pediatric heart surgeries are resuming at Kentucky Children's Hospital -- without any reported investigation by the state health department and without oversight by anyone.
There seems to be no medical governing body that needs to sign off on the decision to reopen the heart surgery unit.
"The only person I need permission from is me," said Dr. Michael Karpf, executive vice president for health affairs at the University of Kentucky's health care system, which includes Kentucky Children's Hospital.
Last year, Karpf said, he put the pediatric heart surgery program on hold because the mortality rates weren't what he wanted them to be.
"They were OK, and OK isn't good enough for me," he said at the time. "It's got to be better. It's got to be good."
Karpf commissioned an internal report (PDF) on the heart surgery program. Parents of the dead babies hoped that might provide them with some information.
But the 102-page report doesn't explain why the babies died. In fact, it doesn't acknowledge any deaths at all.

A great base to enjoy Lake Tahoe
About the Owner
Our family enjoys everything South Lake Tahoe has to offer. In the winter, we are only minutes from Heavenly Ski Resort where we ski and snow shoe, and Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood and Squaw Valley are just a short drive. Summers are filled with golfing, hiking, playing on the beach, biking or relaxing on the back deck in the hot tub. There are plenty of options for dining and entertainment including the Casinos and movie theaters, as the home is centrally located in South Lake Tahoe. We hope you enjoy our home and the beauty of Tahoe and all it has to offer, as much as we do!

A great base to enjoy Lake Tahoe
Tahoe Gem
5 senior male skiers
Worked well for 5 single guys, but one bedroom is behind the garage without a bath. Need to go outside and up the stairs to the house to use a bathroom. To sleep more than 5, would have to double up and two of the doubles are a pull out sofa and a bottom bunk downstairs. Might work, but not so comfortable.
Kitchen is fully outfitted and the whole place is recently remodeled.
For 5 guys it worked very well - would use it again.
Perfect house, great location!
Communication with the host was easy as well.
The house is large and very comfortable with a bathroom for each room. The open kitchen on the living room makes is very easy to cook and share with friends. And the hot tub is a great addition after a long day of skiing!

In a helpful recent private letter ruling, the Internal Revenue Service illustrated a method allowing multinational corporations seeking tax-efficient ways to repatriate offshore cash to avoid the obstacle posed by Johnson v. United States.
Multinational corporations often seek tax-efficient ways to repatriate offshore cash. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decision in Johnson v. United States, 435 F.2d 1257 (4th Cir. 1971), often presents a significant obstacle to these efforts by applying section 301(c)(2) to distributions in excess of earnings and profits (E&P) by reducing stock basis share-by-share, rather than in the aggregate. But the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in a helpful recent private letter ruling, PLR 201043021 (June 29, 2010), has illustrated a method to get around the Johnson issue.

52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 33: Step Sequencing Kong Drums using Redrumposted 2010-10-07 at 01:08
Maybe you're the type of person who has spent ten years making drum beats on ReDrum. You don't say "4 on the Floor Kick"... you say it's a "1 - 5 - 9 - 13 Kick" To you the word hi-hat is spelled "3-7-11-15." It's just how your brain works. Well you'll be happy to know that with the addition of Kong, you don't have to change your workflow to take advantage of the ocean of new sounds Kong brings to your drum beats.
This week I'll show you how to hook up ReDrum to Kong so you can step sequence your patterns with Kong and even change patterns via a Combinator knob.

The State government might have pleased a section of schools and parents by deferring implementing 'Samacheer Kalvi' (Uniform Syllabus of School Education) for a year, but what could it mean to teachers?
Teachers would continue taking lessons from textbooks that they have been using for the last five years and more. While the syllabus for classes VI and above was last revamped in 2005, the last time a comprehensive revision was done for primary classes was even earlier, say educationists. The syllabus is usually revised once in five years.
Much of the difference in opinion about the 'Samacheer Kalvi' syllabus introduced last year for classes I and VI was regarding the syllabus of the primary section.
Educationist S.S. Rajagopalan says that because a majority of the students joining the matriculation stream come with prior orientation in kindergarten, the matriculation syllabus for primary classes is loaded.
"Formal teaching should not take place in kindergarten – learning should be through observation. If the syllabus is beyond capacity, rote learning takes place," he says. In fact, there is not much difference in S.S.L.C and Matriculation stream if you were to look at textbooks of classes VI to X, which has also been endorsed by the S. Muthukumaran Committee, he says.
This difference in standard of streams at the primary level can be solved only if kindergarten sections were also introduced in government schools, adds Mr. Rajagopalan.
Teachers involved in preparing the content say the emphasis was on evolving a syllabus on a par with that of the NCERT and at the same time ensuring that students from rural areas also had a fair chance. But, with schools asked to follow old textbooks for one more year, teachers are apprehensive about the challenges in dealing with a syllabus that was drafted more than five years ago.
In class X Geography, for instance, Russia is still referred to as U.S.S.R and Goa still comes under the Union Territory status. A. Karunanandam, former HOD of History, Vivekananda College, says 'Samacheer Kalvi was an improvement over the old syllabus for all streams.
In History, Economics was introduced one unit per class and Civics saw topics such as civil administration and modern topics introduced. A class VI teacher of Children's Garden Higher Secondary School notes that with textbooks that had colours, pictures and interesting fonts, it was a breeze teaching children.
Academicians say evolving a syllabus is a continuous process. Syllabus is the content that helps achieve the learning outcomes laid down in the curriculum.
"Syllabus changes to keep up to date with the changing times and also to constantly evolve new teaching practices. We must also remember that in today's society the children are exposed to much more than in the past. This also impacts the syllabus," says Uma Raman, who was involved in the team that worked on English books for the Samacheer Kalvi initiative.
"For this reason, the syllabus should have a range of activities that teachers can choose, adapt and use to make learning both learner-centred and effective."

Special permission should be obtained for such a mode of transport
The Regional Transport Authority here has prohibited transporting pilgrims in goods carriages to Sabarimala and using power generators and loud speakers in vehicles without obtaining permission for the same from the authority concerned.
Regional Transport Officer C.K. Raveendranath said transporting pilgrims in goods carriages was a blatant violation of traffic and road safety rules.
To avoid accidents
He said many accidents had been reported from different parts of the State during the Sabarimala season owing to transportation of people in goods carriages.
Citing the major road mishap in which 11 pilgrims were crushed to death when a lorry carrying pilgrims from Tamil Nadu fell into a ditch at Kanamala two years ago, Mr. Raveendranath said such mishaps could be prevented by strictly enforcing the prevailing laws.
The RTO further sought cooperation of all Ayyappa devotees to avert road mishaps.
He also warned against the risk involved in taking pilgrims in autorikshaws decorated with tender palm leaves through the elephant pathways in the forests. Devotees should avoid taking autorikshaws and two-wheelers to Pampa as a safety precaution, Mr. Raveendranath added.
The RTO said the Safe Zone project, launched by the Motor Vehicle Department with a view to curb road mishaps on the main trunk roads leading to Sabarimala and to extend a helping hand to the pilgrims on the road, turned out to be a big hit.
