Review: Subject 13
Jun 29
// Caitlin Cooke
Subject 13 (PC) Developer: Paul Cuisset , Microids Publisher: Gravity Europe SAS Release: May 28, 2015 Subject 13 begins dramatically with your character, Franklin Fargo (yes, that's his actual name), attempting suicide via driving into a river. As he descends into the water, a mysterious event occurs which transports him into an abandoned research facility inhabited by a strange disembodied robotic voice. Franklin (otherwise known as Subject 13) is encouraged by this entity to use his intellect to solve puzzles and make it out of the compound -- and thus begins the challenge. The gameplay has a nice balance to it, starting off with fairly simple concepts as an introduction but not taking too long to get your mind ticking. Most of the challenges are spin-offs of popular games and brain teasers like Reversi, Minesweeper, sliding puzzles, etc. If you aren't a fan of these kinds of puzzles -- especially sliders since they make up approximately half of the puzzles -- then this game may not be for you. There's also a bit of traditional point-and-click detective work along with finding items as you search for ways to make it past obstacles. The game's inventory allows you to inspect, rotate, and zoom in on any item -- which adds additional complexity to the puzzles, as many of them require you to modify, combine, or inspect items to find solutions. If you get stuck, a hint is available at any time, however I found them to be simple and would often give me information I had already figured out on my own. Contextualized pointers are extremely helpful and help you determine if an object is movable, or requires an item to move forward. When solving more complex puzzles, the game transitions to a clear first-person viewpoint which makes the puzzles easy to work with and simple to back out of with the scroll of a mouse wheel. Luckily, there were only a few moments when I felt puzzle logic or solutions were obtuse and I needed to search for help online. While Subject 13 isn't extremely long, the pacing is just right in terms of the story. Small plot elements are sprinkled throughout in "testimonies", recordings from researchers who had lived in the complex. The mysterious voice that guides you throughout the game also occasionally asks questions to which you can respond and in turn receive background info on Franklin. Strange occurrences become more and more frequent as you progress, revealing more of the interesting details of the story. Eerie background music is perfectly stationed throughout, amplifying the mysterious setting. The plot and story elements seemed to borrow heavily from other games (ie Portal and Mass Effect come to mind), however Subject 13 is interesting in its own right. The only real downside to the story was the quality of the dialogue and voice acting -- unfortunately the latter wasn't very good, and some of the dialogue came off as cheesy. The writing could have also used some proofing, as there were times when the dialogue didn't match up with the subtitles, or just didn't quite flow well. However it was a valiant effort for an indie game with only two voice actors. Being a puzzle fanatic, I really enjoyed Subject 13, but I was disappointed with a few elements. For example, sometimes the action wheel where you could view or take an item wouldn't connect, depending on which angle you were viewing the object from. More than a few times I found that I missed clues because of this. I also felt it was a bit of a let down to make the last puzzle of the game an extremely large, glorified Minesweeper. I was hoping that with the ingenuity of some of the previous puzzles that the game would go out with a bang. That being said, Subject 13 as a whole is thoughtfully challenging. I can see it working really well for casual and hardcore puzzle fans alike as it intermingles timeless puzzles with original concepts. Despite the storyline having some slightly cheesy and generic moments, it was intriguing enough to keep me interested and engaged. Although it doesn't hold a candle to its predecessors in the genre, it's definitely worth a play if you're a fan of exploration puzzlers. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the developer.]

Review: Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure
Jun 18
// Chris Carter
Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure (3DS)Developer: NintendoPublisher: NintendoMRSP: $8.99Release Date: June 11, 2015 Yep, this is pretty much the same Dr. Mario you know and love. Miracle Cure sports 10 training levels and 50 core stages for its "campaign," and mixes the classic gameplay of Mario with the newly-minted sub-franchise of Dr. Luigi, allowing both playstyles as a separate option. If you've never played a game in the series before, you're directing little pills on a screen, similar to Tetris, to eliminate viruses and clear the board. Each virus and pill has a respective color (blue, red, or yellow), and matching up four of a kind will clear that link. Dr. Mario features a standard pill shape with up to two colors, and Dr. Luigi makes things a bit more difficult with an "L" shape pill. That's the gist. Here in the newest 3D game there's a new mechanic though called the "Miracle Cure," which basically translates to "powerups." Leave it to Nintendo to barely iterate on a formula and still make a fun game, right? Said powerups include bombs, which blow up anything in their blast radius, and line-based explosions, which are more tactical in nature. For the most part, everything is the same as before, but the Miracle Cures do add a bit more nuance should you opt to turn them on. For instance, the pacing for individual levels is a bit faster since you can score a ton of bombs to blast out some mishaps you may have stacked up in a particular round. It's not mind-blowing, but it doesn't detract from the experience. In addition to the aforementioned preset puzzles, you can also play a custom mode that allows endless play, as well as the option to play directly with a CPU, head-to-head, racing to clear your board first. This versus mode also extends to both online play and local play, the latter of which thankfully supports a download play option, so only one person needs a copy. Honestly, the online experience was one of the smoothest of any recent Nintendo game, as I didn't have any lag of any kind playing a number of different people in Japan. It's all matchmaking based, mind. [embed]294288:59147:0[/embed] It also has this cool display method that shows your game on top and your opponent's on the bottom, both of which have been lag-free based on my testing. For all of these modes you can also opt for Dr. Mario- or Dr. Luigi-based modes, as well as the option to turn off Miracle Cures if you wish. My suggestion? Play with Miracle Cures online. It can be a radically different experience, looking up, then quickly looking down and realizing that your opponent has blasted away half their viruses with powerups. When all is said and done though, there really isn't a whole lot to Miracle Cure if you aren't going to play multiplayer with a friend who shares your passion. I really wish Nintendo showed a bit more effort when it comes to solo play, as the standard "missions" aren't cutting it. I would kill to see a new storyline (like Dr. Mario 64) incorporated into the franchise, one that unites both Mario and Luigi against a common foe. For now, there's only so much pill-dropping that I can take. If you're a Dr. Mario junkie, you can probably pull the trigger on Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure just to see what the fuss is about in regards to the power-ups. For everyone else, just stick with Dr. Luigi until Nintendo decides to overhaul the formula a bit more. [This review is based on a retail build provided by the publisher.]

Review: Schrodinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark
May 18
// Darren Nakamura
Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark (PC, PlayStation 4 [reviewed], Xbox One)Developer: Italic PigPublisher: Team17Released: May 12, 2015MSRP: $9.99 Raiders of the Lost Quark takes place in the quantum world, zoomed in so far the elementary particles of matter are visible. Previous knowledge about quantum physics is not required to play, though it does enhance the experience a bit. For instance, there are six flavors of quarks: up, down, top, bottom, charm, and strange. Schrödinger's Cat uses the first four flavors of quark in his platforming adventure (charm and strange are much rarer), and just like in real life, the quarks combine in groups of three. This central mechanic is smart. It allows Schrödinger's Cat to employ a lot of different abilities, using only the four shoulder buttons. It starts off with basic combos: three up quarks form a propeller that will carry the cat upward, three down quarks form a drill that will destroy terrain downward, three top quarks form a protective bubble to safely pass through hazards, and three bottom quarks form a platform to stand on. From there, quarks of different flavors can be mixed and matched. Two ups and a down (or two downs and an up) will form a missile that can be fired in any of the four cardinal directions. It ends up being one of the most useful abilities. With all of the combinations, there are 14 different abilities. Though it sounds confusing, it all comes fairly naturally, and there is a helpful quick reference on the pause screen detailing all of the different constructs. [embed]292295:58563:0[/embed] At its best, Quark takes the quark combination mechanic and applies it to a puzzle platformer. Half of the levels are designed, giving the player a specific set of quarks to overcome a specific task. Though several quark groupings can achieve similar outcomes (the copter, base, and bounce constructs will all help Schrödinger's Cat move upward), a limited supply of quarks means having to choose wisely, considering what will be left for other tasks. If it were just the puzzle platformer levels, Schrödinger's Cat would a tight little game that does its thing well. It's unfortunate that between the puzzle levels are procedurally generated filler areas. Though they still make use of the quark combination mechanic, the abundance of quarks takes away any sort of interesting decision making or a need for much forethought. Though there are 14 different abilities, I found myself mostly using the same 4 in these sections. There's no need for creative problem solving when the copter, missile, bubble, and net can do everything that needs to be done. It highlights the drawbacks of procedural generation. It can be a powerful tool for two types of games: enormous sandboxes that would be unreasonable to hand-design (Minecraft) and short, replayable experiences that reward experience over memorization (Spelunky). Raiders of the Lost Quark is neither of these. The procedural levels aren't interesting enough to merit a huge open world and aside from some new dialogue there isn't a whole lot of reason to replay it after going through once. Another downfall that stems from the procedural generation is in the environmental art. The destructible terrain and the chunky grid look outdated in the best cases. At worst, the environments are almost nauseating in their color choices and design. This come in stark contrast with the character artwork. Cutscenes have a sharp cartoon look, and the animations are smooth and visually interesting. Schrödinger's Cat's movement and combat animations are particularly good. The supporting cast members have really inventive designs, bizarre enough to fit well in the weird and wonderful subatomic universe. The art for the quark combinations is noteworthy as well. Looking closely at each construct, players can pick out which quark is performing which function, as they all stretch, bend, and combine together. It even helps from a gameplay perspective, where each design is memorable enough on its own that it helped me recall which quarks to summon for a particular ability. Even with the ones I used less frequently like the parachute, I can picture which colors go into it and use that to activate one without having to pause for the reference. Though the overall story is silly, the writing is good. Comedy in games is difficult, but Raiders of the Lost Quark had me laughing out loud a few times. That said, I'm a science geek, so your mileage may vary when it comes to the physics jokes. On a more disappointing note, I did run into a handful of notable bugs during my play through. On multiple occasions I got stuck in the level geometry. Sometimes there would be a creature listed for capture but that creature wasn't actually present, leading to unnecessary time wasted scouring the area. The Bosons were especially hard to work with; they are supposed to attack one another when brought too close, but I had several that wouldn't budge. None of these issues were gamebreaking; a reset to the last checkpoint or leaving and returning to an area fixed all of them. They still hurt the experience through wasted time. None of those waste as much time as the procedurally generated levels, which are easily the biggest flaw in Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark. They take up about half of the play time, present very little worthwhile gameplay, and feel like a drudge by the end. If it cut all the fat and featured only the smart puzzle-platforming found in the hand-designed levels, Raiders of the Lost Quark would be a leaner, more engaging, and ultimately much better game. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

Review: Stretchmo
May 15
// Chris Carter
Stretchmo (3DS)Developers: Intelligent SystemsPublisher: NintendoReleased: May 14, 2015Price: Free-to-play with microtransactions ($9.99 for everything) The way Stretchmo's microtransaction setup works is very confusing at first glance. Initially, you'll have access to a select few intro puzzles. After that, there's one 100 level pack for $4.99, three 50 level packs for $2.99 each, and the option to buy all of them for $9.99 upfront. If you buy each add-on individually, there's a small discount for purchasing more. My guess is that the series didn't perform as well as Nintendo would have hoped outside of Japan, so they want to give international players a chance to "get a taste" for a few bucks. Whatever the case may be, it's not a bad idea as it basically functions as a demo, outside of the fact that there is no way to sample individual packs. As for the game itself, it's pretty much business as usual outside of one new addition. Our heroes will have to solve various block puzzles and reach a predetermined goal (usually at the top of the heap) by pulling and pushing them into submission to create new paths to jump and cross. In this edition you'll have the power to "stretch," blocks on the side, which actually adds quite a bit of depth to the proceedings. You'll soon learn that blocks can be manipulated in a multitude of different ways from every single angle, creating some of the most taxing puzzles yet. Intelligent Systems also brought back the convenient zoom feature, as well as the effective 3D technique, which makes it very easy to move about each creation. Beyond that one new mechanic Stretchmo's gimmick is found in its various level packs, which all have a different theme and character. The 100 core levels are hosted by Mallo, and are actually the easiest of the bunch -- some of which are even remedial. If you enjoy the core Pushmo experience, I'd recommend picking them up, but they aren't anything special. [embed]292153:58540:0[/embed] Poppy is next in line, with items that are themed after real-life objects. While her 50-stage gauntlet has a bit of charm to it it's only marginally more difficult than Mallo's adventure, and I wouldn't say that it's essential in any way. Corin on the other hand kills it with the Fortress of Fun. This add-on brings in more gadgets, including full-on enemy characters to deal with. They remind me of the Sackbots from the Little Big Planet series in that they're crudely designed and only sport a base-level AI, but they're probably the most innovative addition to the series yet, because nearly every level is crafted around avoiding them and jumping on their heads. It adds a degree of twitch action that wasn't really present before. Papa is the last pack in the bunch, and his theme is old NES classics. You'll find levels designed around retro art like an 8-bit Mario head, much like the maps that so many players have created and shared on their own. This add-on however has the benefit of being the most difficult set of levels in the game, and when you add in the stretch ability, I'd be comfortable with making the claim that they're actually some of the biggest challenges in the entire series. For those who are interested, yes, Stretchmo still has a creation studio (that's enabled after you make one purchase). It can read QR codes just like the old iterations, and your gadget unlocks are tied directly to your progress in each pack. In other words, if you want enemies you'll have to buy Corin's levels, and so on. [embed]292153:58557:0[/embed] While all of this is generally pretty great, there are a few downgrades in comparison to the previous version. In particular, the Pushmo World Fair feature from the Wii U release is sorely missed. Although the idea of socially sharing your QR codes with one another is cool, I loved the ability to instantly jump in and casually browse through online creations, even if I didn't play all of them. I also miss the screen real estate provided by the GamePad, which has since spoiled me. Still, the new concepts presented in two of the level packs (Fortress of Fun and NES Expo) make up for it. If you've never given Pushmo a fair shake before, trying out the free stages in Stretchmo is a great way to start. While I'd generally recommend going the full mile and buying the whole thing outright, you can also just spring for the Fortress of Fun for a few bucks and come out on top. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]
Sure, I'll push some mo'
Nintendo has been silently crafting some killer franchises over the years. While he may not light up sales as much as Mario, after four years, I'd consider Pushmo's Mallo to be a fully-fledged Nintendo character. Now he's back in his fourth game on the 3DS in the form of Stretchmo, which adopts a rather odd free-to-play scheme that essentially functions as a demo.

Review: Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition
May 14
// Chris Carter
Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (3DS)Developer: GungHo Online EntertainmentPublisher: GungHo Online Entertainment (JP) / Nintendo (EU, US)Released: April 29, 2015 (JP) / May 8, 2015 (EU) / May 22, 2015 (US)MSRP: $29.99 It's not just a checkmark on the side of a game box -- this 3DS package really is two full games in one. You'll get the traditional Puzzle & Dragons experience with Z, as well as a Super Mario Bros.-centric romp. But even the former feels like it was severely influenced by Nintendo, which is definitely a good thing. In the world of Z, Dragon Tamers roam the land in search of adventure, much like Pokémon Trainers. Hell, it even has the option to choose between a male and female protagonist, and the story starts off in your house with a conversation with your mom. It gets even more on the nose from there with a "D-Gear" instead of a Pokédex, and the presentation of red, blue, and green monsters as your first party members. Truth be told, despite how familiar this setup is, and how much the generic story drags at times, it's far more endearing than the gambling nature of the free-to-play mobile game. The events of the story are set in motion by a massive earthquake from the evil organization Team Rocket Paradox, but the world is more captivating than the actual characters or events involved -- odds are you'll be skipping a lot of dialogue. Thankfully, the creature designs in Puzzle & Dragons are interesting to fight and discover, as they look wholly unique, and even while battling static monsters with just a few animations on-screen the game still has a ton of charm. If you do happen to dig the story though, you'll quickly suffer a degree of disappointment, as it takes a backseat in favor of dungeon crawling and constant battling. [embed]291810:58494:0[/embed] Remember, the core principle is to match three orbs on a grid to damage your enemies. You'll drag and drop them on the bottom screen using your stylus, and said orbs will initiate attacks based on elements that you match. So for instance, a simple activation of three fire orbs will kick off a small fire attack from your appropriate party members, but a huge combo of red and blue will see a stronger counter from multiple party members. Matching more than three will also queue up more devastating attacks, and so on -- you've seen this before. Puzzle & Dragons does have a few nuances in place to differentiate itself though, like an active time gauge to keep you on your toes (allowing you to create combos while you're at it), the ability to target specific enemies with the D-pad, and a rock-paper-scissors mechanic with the elements involved. It also has a light amount of party building, as the best way to succeed is to diversify your setup to allow the most coverage in terms of orb attacks. Each character also has a super that can be used every so often, like a direct-damage power or an ability to change up colors of specific orbs. It's not incredibly deep, but there's some meat to it, especially when you pick up more characters and start making decisions on who to use, as well as who to upgrade, and who to sacrifice to make existing party members stronger. As it turns out, the Super Mario Bros. portion of the game is fairly remedial. If you've never played a match-three before or have children, you'll want to play this one first. It has the same basic gameplay, but with a new "story" that involves Mario and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom, including the lovable Koopa Kids. As usual the plot is fast-tracked here, with Bowser once again capturing Peach due to the power of "mysterious orbs" from the P & D franchise. That swift pace carries on throughout the experience, and it's rather jarring to go from the sprawling Z to this.Remedial as it may be, it has some challenging spots, and it's still worth playing if you dig puzzle games. The thrill of building a party is still present, and although the world isn't all that engaging (it feels as lifeless as the first "New" game on DS), most Nintendo fans won't pass up the chance to fight and capture classic characters like Goombas or Piranha Plants. It's disappointing that the Mario part isn't as fleshed out, but it's more excusable when you add in the fact that the core Z experience is worth the price of entry alone.Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition isn't likely to wow anyone, but it's a pretty comprehensive package that would make a great gift to any match-three addict. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

MGO's pretty fun! I suck at it though. I mostly hang back and just mark enemies and get the occasional sniper kill. It's pretty fun to be semi-useful with a very hands off role like that. Love my avatar character guy too.

Borek, Josephine H. (Skawski)
Brighton: Josephine H. Borek, beloved and devoted wife, mother, sister and daughter, died of natural causes at St. John's Home in Rochester, New York on March 8, 2014. She was 96 years old.
Josephine was born in Utica, New York on November 22, 1917, where she attended Holy Trinity School. Polish was her first language. As a young woman, she was a member of the Polish Falcon Club where she met her husband John. They were married on May 17, 1941 shortly before his deployment into the United States Army. During part of her husband's army service she lived with him in Texas and parts of the South. When she returned to Utica during the War, she worked at Savage Arms and took great pride in her job making target sights for military equipment.
Josephine was a great beauty. In the 1940s and 1950s, Josephine was compared to actress Gene Tierney; in the '60s and '70s to Jacqueline Kennedy. She had a great love of fashion and for several years was an amateur milliner making hats for her friends and relatives. Josephine and her husband were inseparable companions, as much in love on the last day of their marriage as on their wedding day. Her son, also named John, was born after a long series of life-threatening health crises and advice from her doctors not to have children. Her determination to have a family and her devotion to that family were her life-long occupations. Her husband, John Borek was an executive with Art-Craft Optical in Rochester.
Josephine, a six-decade resident of Brighton, spent her last years at The Gables of Brighton, the Rochester Presbyterian Home and St. John's Home. She was a bright and shining star to her many caregivers. Thank you Avis, Martha, Deborah, Linda, Mimi and the many others who made her last years happy ones.
Josephine is predeceased by her husband, John, by her parents Anna and Sebastian Skawski, and by her brothers and sisters, Walter Skawski, Mary Kondzielawa, and John Skawski.
Josephine is survived by her son John and her daughter-in-law Jacqueline Levine; by her younger sister Jane Cioch of Utica, by her nieces and nephews: Marianne Skawski-Williams, Dianne Cioch-Handzel, Kathy Cioch-Nelson, John Cioch Jr., David Cioch, Gerard Cioch, Kenneth Cioch, Clarissa Skawski, and Philip Skawski. We also wish to acknowledge the Babiarz family of New York Mills and Utica.
Her devoted friends include Theresa Beresniewicz, Krysia Mnick, the family of Paul and Sally Adams, the family of Ewa Hauser, the family of Eileen and John Daniel, and the family of Renato and Donatella Stocchi-Perucchio. Her special caregiver at The Gables was her great-nephew-by-marriage Jordan Daniel.
We thank the young people who offered her friendship in her later years: Mindy Fountain, Sara Korol, Philip Brune, Anthony Lovenheim Irwin, and Diana Daniel Seroski, An additional thank you is extended to those who have helped the family with funeral arrangements: Lance Williams, Dianne Cioch-Handzel, Eve Elzenga and Annette Dragon.
Josephine loved canaries. We wish to remember these feathered companions as well: Pietro, Pietro II and Ramona.
Friends may call Sunday, March 16th from 2 -5 PM at Anthony Funeral Home, 2305 Monroe Avenue, Rochester. A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, March 17th at 9:30 AM at Blessed Sacrament Church at the corner of Monroe Avenue and Oxford Street. Flowers are appreciated as are donations to With Love From Friends (
). To share a memory or express a condolence, please write to her son at email@example.com.

2569RE: [RLC-Action] FW: Bob Barr Shows Leadership to Unify Liberty Movement
Expand Messages
- Sep 14, 2008However, if the party sees the caucus support another party over the Republicans. it will dismiss the caucus as just a tool for the LP. RLC candidates will never get the Republicam support they need. The party will rightly suggest that liberty-Republicans aren't true Republicans because they support the LP when they don't get their way.
It is not a matter of rolling over. It is a matter of gaining credibility and applying the force within the Republican Party to get our agenda recognized and respected. That doesn't happen by bailing the first sign of not getting our way.

On the other hand, slavish devotion to the Republican Party does nothing to
advance liberty. How can we possibly influence the party leadership when it
knows we'll roll over and support whatever statist manages to get on the
ticket? The attitude of "my party right or wrong" has to go. When the party
is wrong we must not be afraid to tell it is wrong.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian troops drove insurgents from central Homs on Monday, tightening their siege on remaining rebel bastions in the city, which links Damascus to the Mediterranean heartland of President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect.
The military's gains in Khalidiya district follow a counter-offensive by Assad's forces, which have pushed back rebels around the Syrian capital and retaken several towns and villages near the border with Lebanon in the last few weeks.
"As of this morning the armed forces, in collaboration with the National Defense Force, took full control of Khalidiya," an army officer said, referring to the NDF militia which has fought in the offensive, along with Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas.
The officer was speaking to Syrian television in a live broadcast from Khalidiya. Shattered, deserted ruins and weeds sprouting a meter (yard) high in the rubble-filled streets around him showed the scale of the destruction and neglect in a city which was once an industrial powerhouse in Syria.
Also badly damaged in the Khalidiya fighting was the distinctive black and white stone mosque housing the shrine of early Islamic military leader Khalid ibn al-Walid.
Some activists disputed the capture of Khalidiya district, saying heavy clashes continued on Monday morning, but conceded that army had control of almost the entire neighborhood.
The army's progress in Khalidiya comes a month after it launched an offensive in Homs city, building on its capture of the border towns of Qusair and Tel Kalakh, which were both used to bring rebel arms and fighters into Syria from Lebanon.
At least 100,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict, which started with peaceful protests against Assad's rule in March 2011 but gradually descended into civil war after a military crackdown on the demonstrations.
Nearly two million refugees have fled the sectarian-tinged struggle between mainly Sunni Muslim rebels and Assad's Alawite supporters, whose minority sect is a branch of Shi'ite Islam.
Regional Sunni powers Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey have backed the rebels, while Shi'ite Iran and Hezbollah have given military support to the Syrian authorities.
Assad has also sent reinforcements to the northern city of Aleppo, much of which has been in rebel hands for a year.
A coalition of Islamist rebels announced a campaign dubbed "Amputation of the Infidels" against Assad's forces in Aleppo's western districts of Lairamun, Dahr Abed Rebbo and Zahraa.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said an overnight attack by the Islamists had killed eight members of the armed forces. Another five defected, according to the British-based monitoring group which has a network of sources in Syria.
In the town of Tal Hasel, southeast of Aleppo, Kurdish fighters clashed with Islamists from the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, the Observatory said. A Kurdish commander was killed, as well as three Nusra fighters.
Kurdish and Nusra fighters have also been battling further east, near the Ras al-Ain border crossing with Turkey.

A fight and subsequent disturbance led to a Pike County man's arrest in Huntingburg.
Just before 4 o'clock this morning, Huntingburg Police were called to a residence in the 300 block of North Chestnut Street for a fight in progress. After arriving, police found 22-year-old Christopher Clark in Petersburg in the front yard yelling and crying with his shirt off. Officers tried to calm him down but to no avail.
Police say Clark was trying to talk to someone inside the apartment building but that person did not want to talk to him. Clark was then found to be intoxicated and was taken to a relative's residence along First Avenue.
HPD was called back to North Chestnut Street at around 5 o'clock this morning after Clark was heard yelling and screaming in the backyard. Clark was found in a nearby vehicle pretending to be asleep and was arrested.
Clark was booked into the Dubois County Security Center on disorderly conduct charges.
A Huntingburg teen was arrested on alcohol related charges after an incident at a gas station.
Just before 7:15 last night, Huntingburg Police were called to Huck's in the 600 block of North Main Street on a report of a man causing a disturbance inside. When they arrived, police found out the man (20-year-old Christopher Correa) had left the store.
After catching up with Correa near 9th and Washington Streets, HPD officers noted a strong smell of alcohol on Correa's breath. A portable breath test found his BAC to be .15 percent or almost twice the legal limit.
He was taken and booked into the Dubois County Security Center. He's charged with Minor Consuming.
Huntingburg has adopted its next spending plan.
Last night, the Huntingburg city council voted unanimously to formally approve the 2016 budget. The city is looking at a budget of just over $10 million in all. The proposed tax rate for the city is $1.17 per $100 of assessed valuation. Mayor Denny Spinner says that's a less than 1 cent increase over last year.
Spinner was also pleased to report last night that Huntingburg's assessed value has increased for the 3rd consecutive year. It came in at $160 million.
Spinner says the city has been able to keep its funding under control in spite of many changes at the state level:
There are some increases in the budget, mostly in funding for the park and street departments. The budget now heads to the Department of Local Government Finance for final approval.
In other business, Spinner provided a few updates on Stellar Communities projects. He told the council that Taylor Siefker Williams Design Group of Indianapolis has been chosen as the design and engineering firm for the Market Street Park project. Spinner also stated that project is expected to get underway next spring. Also, the council approved a committee to review 5 proposals for design and engineering work on the 4th Street Heritage Trail. Spinner says construction on that project is slated to start in 2017.
Of course, Stellar Communities projects are being financed through state dollars, but it still takes some planning on the city's part to manage those funds. To that end, Spinner says there is great news for taxpayers when it comes to the Stellar projects:
On a final note, last night marked the first council meeting for Jeff Bounds. Bounds replaced Alex Blackgrove in the District 2 council seat after Blackgrove moved out of the district, thus he had to resign.
District 48 senator Mark Messmer is partnering with state officials to hold a seminar on Indiana's tax amnesty program.
Messmer is pairing with the Indiana Department of Revenue to bring the seminar to Jasper this upcoming Monday evening, October 12th. The seminar will run from 6 to 7 pm in Room 230 at the Center for Technology, Innovation and Manufacturing at VUJC. Registration for the event is not required.
Tax Amnesty 2015 is a limited-time opportunity for both individuals and businesses to pay past-due taxes free of penalty, interest and collection fees. All tax types managed by the Indiana Department of Revenue for periods ending prior to Jan. 1, 2013, are eligible for the program.
The free seminar will provide an overview of Tax Amnesty 2015, including:
Eligibility requirements;
Participation benefits;
Tax warrant expungement;
Payment plan options; and
Additional taxpayer resources.
Additionally, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of an experienced department representative.
Of course, Messmer is among those who supported the tax amnesty, which was put in place this past legislative session to raise money for the state's new Regional Cities initiative along with funding to support Amtrak's Hoosier State rail passenger service between Indianapolis and Chicago.
Messmer says the tax amnesty is a great opportunity to get out from under your tax burden:
For a complete list of scheduled Tax Amnesty 2015 seminars, go to www.in.gov/dor/amnesty/5382.htm.
Officials with the Dubois County Highway Department say several roads around the county remain on a scheduled list to receive Rejuvenating Surface Seal in the next 6 or 7 days.
Roadways yet to be sealed barring any weather problems or contractor issues include:
The Jasper Dubois Road from State Road 164 to State Road 545 today through this Saturday.
County Road 1100 South from US 231 to the Ferdinand Industrial Road next Monday and Tuesday October 12th & 13th.
And finally next Wednesday October 14th, Schnellville Road from Celestine Road South to Market Street.
Highway Department officials ask that folks not park any vehicles on any roads receiving treatments and that any cars remaining on the scheduled roads will be towed at the owners expense.
They also want to point out that the rejuvenating surface seal involves fresh oil distributed on the roadway and that motorist are asked to please stay off the seal until it has properly cured and have been told that it is acceptable to drive on.
The Dubois County Community Foundation says local donors have helped the foundation successfully raise more than $1 million for local charities.
Through Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow VI, an initiative of Lilly Endowment Inc., donors have given more $500,000 to fully capture an eligible $500,000 in matching funds.
The objective of the initiative is to raise unrestricted assets for community foundations across the Hoosier state. Dubois County was eligible for $500,000 based on the size of it's population.
Foundation board president Pat Miller says the Endowment challenged the community with a great opportunity and the foundation knew they needed to fully capitalize on the match. Miller says donors helped to achieve the goal with tremendous support beyond what was even imagined.
Thirty-six individuals, families and businesses contributed to the $1 million, including a major gift of $125,000 from Inwood Office Furniture Foundation. German American, Springs Valley Bank & Trust Co., Bob Luegers Motors, the Kunkel Insurance Agency and several individuals and families also contributed.
Along with these supporters, the foundation saw 100% participation from its staff and board of directors. A total of ten new endowments were established from the matching funds.
Meanwhile, Dubois County charities will see an immediate increase in available funding in 2016 thanks to the successful million-dollar campaign for unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds are pooled into The Fund for Dubois County, an endowment that provides funding for nonprofits to apply for throughout the year.
The Lilly Endowment is an Indianapolis-based, private philanthropic foundation created in 1937.
Dubois County Emerging Leaders will soon open up applications for its yearly grant cycle.
This year marks the 5th year for grants to come from Dubois County Emerging Leaders. Any 501c3 nonprofit in Dubois County is eligible to submit a nomination online. The nomination period starts on Monday and runs through Friday, October 30th.
Emerging Leaders have also announced this year's giving party. The event, which wraps up the year for Emerging Leaders, will be held on Thursday, November 12th at 6 o'clock at Hedinger Beverage in Jasper. The party will be a chance for you to hear more about nonprofits in the community and you will be able to vote on who gets this year's grant. In previous years, recipients have recieved a $5,000 grant from the group.
For more information on Emerging Leaders, you can go online to elgiving.org.

Redefining Quality Content For The Web
When I first started writing for the web as a freelancer, my conception of content was, naturally, focused on writing. As I was drawn further and further into the online world and my understanding of the web grew, I realized that content applies to a broader spectrum of web-related mediums besides writing. Recently I was browsing online and thinking about some forums I'd visited that were debating the definitions of quality content; needless to say, it got me thinking.
After researching the term and trying to come up with a specific definition, I realized that it just wasn't possible, because quality' content can't be defined by itself; it has to be defined by its audience. The main audiences concerned with quality content online are:
- Users;
- Search Engines;
- Website owners, Webmasters & SEOs.
Quality content from a user's perspective
From a user's perspective, quality (or my preferred term, valuable) content, whatever the medium, is characterized by one essential factor: it fulfills the user's needs at the time they're looking for it.
While average, informational, well-structured content may be considered "quality" content, for users, true "quality" comes in the form of any unique idea, tool or medium used to give people the information they want on a given topic. This can range from humor-filled or debate-stimulating articles and crazy video blogs to interactive websites or those just offering expert advice. Essentially, any material that engages their emotions, expresses opinions, invites interaction, commentary and debate, and most importantly, meets their needs.
For example, in the beginning of my web-based writing career, I put too much emphasis on the particulars of writing: if it was well written, if it was long enough, if it was grammatically correct and well-structured, etc. I soon came to realize that, while these factors are still important, they are not necessary to creating "quality" content. Authors of wonderful, incendiary or groundbreaking articles struggling with structural and grammatical errors ranked above many of mine every time because they gave people what they were looking for.
Quality content from a search engine's perspective
From a search engine's perspective, quality content seems to be determined by the most on-topic (relevant) and trusted material in the online community.
Relevancy is affected by the number of links to a page's content (like 'votes' for the page), the content's significance, how well the search engine algorithm understands the meaning of the page (semantics) and how well the content matches the searcher's topic.
Trust is the other part of the equation, and is determined by the types of sites that link to a webpage. For example, .edu sites are generally more trusted than other domains. Because of this, sites with lots of .edu links will probably do very well. Sites highly trusted on a particular topic, or "authority" sites, range from smaller websites with lots of 'quality' content to larger sites considered leaders in their field. The search engines love these sites, so if several link to your page's content, it gives your page validity with the search engines.
Note: this is a purposefully broad generalization; there are many subtleties that go into how a search engine determines the quality of content, but I'm not writing a book; I'm simply taking a stab at generally understanding how the search engines analyze 'quality' content.
Quality content from a website owner, webmaster or seo's perspective:
From a web owner's, web masters, or website owner's perspective, quality content is simply content that garners links, offers value to users, is properly optimized and draws traffic that can be used for brand recognition or monetization.
More recently, a large determinant of a website's quality of content has been its ability to gain links through a number of methods, including social bookmarking. If a user likes a site, they can bookmark it or link to it; this in turn increases the site's prominence.
In his guest article on firstname.lastname@example.com, Aaron Wall of Seobook states that "you can write a thousand pages all day long on your site and absolutely nobody is going to care if they do not know who you are." I see where he's coming from, as most content offering basic tips, a glossary about thingies or a how-to guide will be ignored by most people. Users will go to the sites they trust, the people with the rep, or sources like Wikipedia before they read an unknown website or blog-unless you create content with a unique slant (opinionated, editorial, catchy, humorous, creative) or content that's ultra detailed (e.g. a fifty page guide to thingies or a super reference site).
However, I think that a large part of problem also lies in the fact that many website and blog owners don't know how to market or promote their content properly. If they lack an understanding of seo, internet or viral marketing and other methods they can take to get themselves noticed, such as commenting on blogs and in forums, optimizing their site or blog correctly, etc., they have no chance to compete against the big guys, no matter the quality of their content. However, if they have valuable content, know how to promote themselves effectively and use the vast array of online tools available, the little guy can win, even without the rep. Acclivity's blog, Stir Crazy, is an excellent example.
We set out with the intention of creating enough valuable content that our blog would take off with a running start. And it did. Less than a week after we launched Stir Crazy, Chris Crum approached us with an invitation to join WebProNews as a blogging partner; needless to say, we did, and one of our articles was even featured on the main page of Searchnewz (as of Dec. 3). The website and blog have been up less than two weeks, and we already rank for some decent terms.
In the end, quality content means different things to different audiences. So give 'em all what they want and reap the benefits: universally valuable content that offers unique ideas, meets their needs, satisfies their algorithms and gets them links.

Be a Music City Tourist! - 04/18/14
Happy Easter Weekend! I hope you are having a great holiday. I have family visiting from the northeast this week and have had a chance to play tour guide and tourist at the same time. It's been fun! If you haven't taken the time to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame (most of us that live here probably haven't), take a trip downtown! I had a blast there on Wednesday! It's a great place to spend a few hours rolling down memory lane and learn more about this great place we call home.
A friend once suggested that when she has family or guests that will be staying at her home for a few days, she would spend a night in the guest room before they arrive to make sure she had supplied everything her guest would need to make it as enjoyable as possible. I always thought that is a great idea. Take it a step further and play the role of tourist in your own town and check out all of the great things Nashville has to offer! I bet you'll have a great time too!

NEW YORK (AP) -- It looks good enough to eat. A new art exhibit in the Big Apple takes a bite out of food. "The Value of Food: Sustaining a Green Planet" has works from 30 artists. The exhibit is divided into seven themes: water, soil, seed, farm, market, meal and waste. Guest co-curator Robin Kahn says they hope visitors will "look at food in a new way that's more beneficial not only to them but to the Earth." The multimedia exhibition opened last week at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in Manhattan.
SEATTLE (AP) -- The law of supply and demand is going to be studied -- when it comes to pot. A new group at the University of Washington law school will look at markets for marijuana. The yearlong study will help inform the state as it prepares to combine the medical and recreational marijuana markets. The project will try to estimate the demand for legalized weed.
HELSINKI (AP) -- They were the good guys. Police in Sweden were called about a group of suspicious, bearded men with a black flag in the ruins of a castle. Authorities feared they could be Islamic State sympathizers. But these guys were a bunch of do-gooders. John Ekeblad is a co-founder of the Swedish chapter of the Bearded Villains. He says the so-called villains promote equality and do charity work. Ekeblad says the incident was "hilarious," and police drove off laughing.
DENVER (AP) -- It's the feds versus the makers of kombucha. That's a fermented tea that has moved from the natural foods aisle to the mainstream. Federal authorities say the brewers of the tea need to relabel their product to reflect it can contain alcohol. But the tea makers say it's a natural byproduct of the fermentation process. Makers of the tea are asking for new federal tests. They say the alcohol level is so low, many fruits have a similar content from natural fermentation.

NEW DELHI State-run NTPC (NTPC.NS), the biggest power producer in India, said it was preparing to start commercial operations at three new solar power plants, doubling its capacity from solar energy sources.
NTPC has vowed to raise the amount of energy it generates from renewable resources as it aims to diversify away from conventional fuels including coal because of insufficient domestic supplies, which have forced it to buy costly imports.
The three new plants total 45 megawatts and bring NTPC's renewable energy capacity to 75 MW, the company said in a regulatory statement on Monday.
But non-conventional energy projects account for a tiny fraction of NTPC's total commercial capacity of 41,859 MW.
Separately, NTPC said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Power with a pledge to try and add 2,023 MW of capacity in 2014-2015.
