A Phoenix man was arraigned Tuesday evening on murder charges. The arrest came quickly, after the body of a Geddes woman was found in LaFayette on Monday. Police arrested Larry Frank, 49, of Phoenix, around 5:30 p.m. Monday in Pennsylvania. He is charged with second degree murder for the death of his sister-in-law, Patricia Gryczka, 53. Sheriff's deputies say he does have a criminal record, but wouldn't elaborate. Our Katie Gibas has been following the investigation and tells us what led to the arrest.
LAFAYETTE, N.Y. -- Authorities weren't too surprised when they got a call around four Monday morning for a suspicious person on a rural property in the Town of LaFayette.
"At that time of day, this time of year, we're chasing hunting calls and illegal trespassing," said Cpt. Dan Brogan, Onondaga County Sheriff's Department.
The person who called police was able to give them a description and the license plate number of the car that drove off. After running the license plate number, Onondaga County Sheriff's deputies identified the car as belonging to Patricia Gryczka, 53. When investigators searched the property, they found a woman's body.
"That was a very good clue at the very front end of the investigation, which allowed it to quickly move on. Not having had that information, it would have been a much more difficult investigation," said Onondaga County Undersheriff Warren Darby.
Authorities went to Gryczka's home in Geddes to find it had been broken into. At that point, they contacted her sister in Phoenix.
When Phoenix police arrived, they say Gryczka's brother-in-law, Larry Frank, 49, fled and led police on a high speed chase before they lost him.
"When we have a major scene like this and we had two scenes going on. We have resources all tied up. Both the State Police and Sheriff's office are down considerably, with regards to police officers, so our patrol officers are down, so be able to react quickly at that hour on a high speed chase is a challenge," said Darby.
Police eventually tracked Frank through his credit card use to Pennsylvania. While in custody, he admitted killing Gryczka, who was his sister-in-law. They say it appears Frank may have strangled Gryczka at her home Sunday evening during a robbery. After midnight, Deputies say Frank returned to the home and transported the body to LaFayette in Gryczka's car. Authorities say with several different scenes, the investigation took a lot of manpower.
"There were resources from here to Clearfield, Pennsylvania, multiple states, multiple counties all alerted and trying to help us along the way. But we were were obviously behind, so it was significant manpower resources," said Brogan.
Frank was arraigned in Geddes town court Tuesday evening. He is charged with second degree murder. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison on that charge alone. An Onondaga County Assistant District Attorney says other charges are pending.
He is scheduled to be back in court Monday afternoon for a preliminary hearing.
A Phoenix man has been charged in connection to the death of Patricia Gryczka, 53. Larry Frank, 49, was arrested in Lawrence Township in Pennsylvania Monday night. Investigators say they found a loaded handgun in his car. Deputies released more details in the case at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. You can watch the entire press conference below.

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYes, I reviewed this early. I had the stream, and I decided to get a headstart on it.
Stream: https://now.jbhifi.com.au/#/music/Album/5021456189991
Tooooo oearly.
What's the point of a headstart? Why not let the album seep in or let alone RELEASE.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI did have a steam, here it is again
that stream is missing two songs.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI've had the full release for about a week now, so it's sunk in for me (:
Album Rating: 2.0Meh
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffHmm.
So it is.
That's strange.
Album Rating: 4.0I heard the leak is missing 2 songs. I'm gonna wait for my CD in 7 days
The leak is missing one song.
10 plays on Last.fm in the last 7 days.
Don't know why I went through that effort...
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYeah the leak is missing Blue and The Grey.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffPoor Salesman.
some of the guitar melodies are really really good
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYeah, that was the thing I noticed the most
The two songs they released from this sounded so goddamn boring, and I really liked Deep Blue.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffThe two songs they released were godawful. The rest is a huge improvement
yeah Sparks is pretty awesome.
Lol Alternative Press gave this a 4.5 out of 5 and Converge a 4 out of 5. Fuck that magazine. I'm not really a fan of this band, I thought Dark Days was decent but Old Ghost/New Regrets was terrible.

1. Do TB. you're horde on a PvP server with a 25:1 horde/ally ratio (according to wowprogress) The trinket is 125 commendations (plus maybe a little dungeon rep if you don't have it yet). that's 13 days. If you're going to worry about .25 CTC coverage, just bite the bullet
2. Personally, I've very much in the ignore cheap VP items until you have the key ones. The reason being the cheap ones have less total rating on it, plus the 4pc is typically the goal. However, that being said, in your case, I'd suggest trying to get the 4pc T11 (or at least the helm or shoulders drop) so you can go 2pc t11 and 2pc t12 for Alyzrazor. I'd suggest probably the gloves + legs for t12 with the chest + helm/shoulders from t11. Then, look at itemization and item level.
Right now the 378 ring over the 346 you have is a bigger gain than the 378 neck over the 365 you have.
Now - as to the original question - CTC or balanced dodge/parry - CTC is the way to go. It won't make much difference overall, but higher CTC means smoother rage. Dodge/parry balancing (with parry slightly ahead) is nice, but if it's out of whack and you still have better CTC coverage, it's not a big deal. Think about it... I want to be less protected just to balance two stats that are supposed to be protecting me?
Other point - ANY points in Cruetly without capping DW is less than optimal. DW isn't just a TPS increase over cruetly, it's a DPS as well.

Whilst being against a fire type is a HUGE problem, with a couple of Swords Dance boosts, it will be more beneficial with Double Hit than switching out. commented Dec 15, 2013 by Juju Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Swords Dance Scizor Scizor # Leftovers Nature: Adamant (^Atk -Sp Atk) Ability: Technician + 252 Atk EVs / 252 HP EVs / 6 Def EVs Swords Dance Bullet Punch Protect Bug Bite / Double Hit So this Scizor is for switching in the right moment, or taking the right moment to get a chance at dancing up! After a dance, you may be able to sweep a lot of Pokemon with a STAB Bullet Punch powered by Technician, and priority! Protect is there to give yourself a free turn of healing with Leftys, and to guard against an opponent to see what they wanna do to your Scizor every turn. Bug Bite is an extra move to take use of Scizor's Technician, and STAB from being a Bug type! lt also holds the ability to eat your foes berry if it is holding one, how useful!* You can also get Double Hit (suggested by someone that l never thought about) to break subs, and packs extra power with Technician! Thanks to EJ-98 for reminding me! answered Jul 16, 2011 by Sam Sam Sam Sam edited May 24, 2012 by Pokemaster Why X-Scissor over Bug bite when with Technician Bug bite is better? commented Jul 16, 2011 by Josh klfajlfd Haha, my friend told me that a million times, and X-Scissor is kind of an impulse! l always forget about it!

Try using him as a physical tank. So I noticed that every Scizor here is a sweeper, and all the sets were similar, but what if Scizor wasn't just a sweeper? What if Scizor was a physical tank? I think he could do it, and this is the set that is gonna get it done. Scizor - Leftovers EVs: 242 HP, 252 Def, 16 Atk Nature: Impish (+Def, -Spatk) Ability: Technician Moves: Bullet Punch Roost Toxic Substitute Bullet Punch acts as STAB and gives him something to fight back with, priority helps. Roost is for recovery, Toxic is for putting the lives of the opponent's on a timer, and Substitute helps him out by keeping him status free and keeping thae attacks off of him for a while. Look at his stats, with that EV spread his HP will be 341, and his Defense will be 328, which is enough totank some hits if you ask me, not to mention his attack will be 300, which will be enough to dish some hits too. answered Sep 11, 2012 by |SentByRavens| edited Sep 11, 2012 by |SentByRavens| Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote You are all missing something, -technician -bullet punch -bug bite -protect -toxic What you guys forgot was that scizor is a staller with occa berry answered Dec 31, 2012 by gengarchomp Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Scizor (M) @ Scizorite Swarm (Technician upon Mega Evolution) Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk) 252 HP/126 Sp. Def/126 Atk •Swords Dance •Roost •Bullet Punch •Fury Cutter This is supposed to be like a sweeper that can take a hit. The EVs he sacrificed in Attack to go to Sp. Def are regained with Swords Dance. Bullet Punch gives priority and has a decent 90 power after Technician and STAB are applied. Fury Cutter's first strike's power is also a solid 90 instead of 60 with Technician's help, doubling each turn. When he starts to get tired, Roost means the opponent will never get a break! answered Dec 30, 2013 by Kenzie_Crobat Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote This is a great move set for Pokemon like harvesting Trevenants, I hope you like it ;) . Gen: 6 Scizor@Scizorite Nature: Adamant Ability: Technician EV's: 252 Atk 252 Def 4 Sp Def Swords dance: power up! Bug Bite: for those got dam harvesting trevenants, STAB and Technician boost. Bullet Punch: Everyone loves STAB priority and technician Bullet punches with swords dance boosts! Pursuit: Scaredy cats :P Hope you liked the set ;) answered Jan 23 by MushmellowFTW Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Gen VI Bulky Sweeper Scizor-Mega Scizor @ Scizorite Ability: Technician EVs:252 Atk / 160 SDef / 96 HP Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) Swords Dance Bullet Punch Bug Bite / Quick Attack / Roost Pursuit / Roost Swords Dance to build its increadible Attack. Bullet Punch to make up for the miserable Speed, +Technician, +STAB. Bug Bite is the most powerful move, but it has quite a few walls and you are probably better off with Roost to make him last longer. Quick Attack is for Fire types. Pursuit for revenge kills plus coverage with Bullet Punch (Aegislash, Metagross, Heatran?) EVs for the fire weakness. Mega Scizor has great bulk. This should help him survive enough for a swords dance or two and then sweep through the entire team. answered May 21 by fitifititis Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Bullet Punch: Priority STAB. Boosted by Technician. Swords Dance: Helps make up for lower base power of moves. Pursuit: Defeat the foe as they are switching to a counter for Scizor. Boosted by Technician. Roost: For healing. Scizor has plenty of other great options. Quick Attack also gets priority and a Technician boost. Agility can be another way to move first. Scizor can also Baton Pass it and Sword Dance. U-Turn is a good hit and run move, especially along with Superpower. Iron Head and X-Scissor aremore powerful STAB moves. Double-Hit gets a nice boost from Technician. Brick Break is a reliable way to deal with Steel types without losing your Swords Dance boost. Night Slash provides some nice coverage. Bug Bite is STAB that gets a boost from Technician, and is great as such. answered Dec 14, 2010 by trachy I forgot about pursuit commented Dec 15, 2010 by Shxatoap Nope, Technician doesn't boost when the Foe is Switching cause the base Power is Doubled to 80. But, works Great. commented Oct 19, 2012 by Unidentified Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Scizor (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 124 SDef / 48 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Bullet Punch - Pursuit - U-turn - Roost This is my own Scizor. I use it on a Drizzle OU team. Basically, it is another technician abuser, but with a little bit of bulk. The moves make it a good scout, and a good sweeper (So long as the opponent doesn't have any steel types). The EVs are my own creation, with Scizor's unique typing, it has allot of resistances and only one weakness. 124 SDef + the Fire cut from the rain means Scizor can actually live through most Fire attacks, even with Stab. 252 Atk is obvious. The speed boost might appear minimal, but it allows Scizor to move faster than quite a few other pokemon when not abusing priority, as this gen is mostly slow, bulky pokemon. Roost is to recover from Life orb and other damage, this can be replaced by Superpower if you don't like getting walled by steels, or if you just prefer an offensive moveset. answered Aug 22, 2011 by Heinz_Ketchum Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Scizor (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Swarm/Technician EVs: 144 HP / 192 Atk / 172 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) Agility Iron Head X-Scissor/Bug Bite Brick Break answered Aug 29, 2011 by Hex edited Aug 29, 2011 by Hex Uh most of the moves are 60+ (except for bug bite ) so I don't see what technician will do anything here commented Jul 27, 2012 by Groudon Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Steel types are so cool. Adamant Nature Attaack and Sp. Def Evs *Technician Ability Metronome Held item Swords Dance: Best move to power up this beast. Bullet Punch: STAB, 100 accuracy, hits first, technician power up, just lethal after swords dance and Metronome helps alot if ya keep using it. Bug BIte:STAB, technician power up and you get rid of the foe's berry. Double Hit For those troublesome Fire types. Yeah the only thing stopping this thing is killing it before it starts attacking. answered Jul 31, 2012 by metagurosu edited Feb 12, 2013 by metagurosu Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes This is ridiculous!!! This is a really old question, and this should definitely be put together. Scizor(F)@Life Orb Trait:Technician Nature:Adamant(+Atk,-SpA) EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Spe -Bullet Punch -Bug Bite -Superpower -Swords Dance In no way is X-Scissor better than bug bite on a Technician scizor. Superpower provides great coverage, and Bullet punch becomes more powerful than extremespeed thanks to technician. Swords dance is great for setting up. Scizor is my all time favorite pokemon, and this set works wonders. answered Aug 11, 2012 by Giga Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Technician Jolly Focus Sash 252 atk 252 spe 4 Hp -Agility -Swords Dance -Baton Pass -Bullet Punch Ok so this Scizor is pretty frail. You would have to send it out when your opponent is dicking around with their wall. Pop a swords dance first and if your opponent does not damage you in that first turn you're golden. If they do then just bullet punch and wait to die for a revenge kill, or you could try baton passing if you are faster. However if you are not damaged in the first turn, then use agility and then baton pass to a slower powerhouse that is usually outclassed by faster attacking pokemon. Then proceed to sweep the opponents team. This works about less than half the time but if you can manage to pass to a Haxorus or Tyranitar or something you will dominate. answered Aug 11, 2012 by DoctorShahob Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Scizor can be a beast, but it also is fragile if you're not careful. After all, it may only be weak to Fire, but Fire-Types and Fire-Type attacks can be out there to hurtcha.

There's no denying the appeal of this historic blockbuster. What's fascinating from a cinematic point of view i...
Luke Skywalker and a motley group of rebels and robots battle the evil Darth Vadar in the first part of George Lucas' epic sci-fi trilogy. Superb combination of sci-fi, action and comedy made this a box-office smash!
Star Wars Trilogy movie trailer - starring Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness. Directed by George Lucas. Genre: Action-Adventure
Rating: PG
In this featurette from the Lucasfilm video archives, sound designer Ben Burtt discusses the evolution of Darth Vader's iconic, ominous breathing.
In the original script, Darth Vader was described as a 'strange dark being, in some kind of a life-support system.' As a result, Burtt originally created many sounds for Vader: his heart audibly beating, gears turning as he moved, and more. This turned out to be too much, however, and was scaled back to just his mechanical lungs -- which became a classic movie sound effect, and remains a defining feature of the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Ben Burtt, legendary sound designer of the Star Wars films, talks about creating Chewbacca's voice in this vintage interview.
The first voice that Burtt worked on in Star Wars was Chewbacca's, but in the script, there was little direction as to what a Wookiee would sound like. It had to be alien and an intelligent language, but not recognizable.
In one of Burtt's first meetings with George Lucas, the director suggested that bears might be suitable. For a year, Burtt collected the grunts and roars of bears, along with the sounds of walruses, lions, and many other animals. By extracting little bits from each recording, Burtt could identify sounds based on emotions -- anger, affection, etc. He cut those together in a way that could match how the character's mouth moved, as well as convey feelings and language. The resulting mix formed the basis of Chewbacca's iconic voice.

Estimate for Sandy-damaged vehicles surpasses 250,000
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Feb 21st, 2013 at 5:29PM
Four months after superstorm Sandy blew through the East Coast wreaking havoc in its path, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has announced its revised estimates for the number of vehicles damaged in the storm's wake. The new total now stands at a staggering 250,500 vehicles (for perspective, about 15,000 of the vehicles are shown parked on a runway in the images from New York above). Even though New York (150,000 vehicles damaged) and New Jersey (60,000) account for the bulk of the losses, the storms fury reached as far as West Virginia (1,000), Maine (500) and Vermont (500).

Underrated D&D Modules
I'm looking for your thoughts on some of the most underrated D&D modules. You can cite ones that are either usually poorly regarded and/or largely ignored.
I'll throw out one for starters—B9: Castle Caldwell and Beyond. You don't hear much about this 1985 module, but it contains 5 adventures that cover a variety of challenging situations. In one, you have to clear out a castle for its new owner; in another, you start behind enemy lines, needing to recover your equipment and escape. There's a princess rescue, and two above-average, short dungeon crawls to round things out. All in all, this is a varied, entertaining module that should be worth your time to track down.

I am a fan of L1: Secret of Bone Hill. Also, S2: White Plume Mountain, and S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

Desert of Desolation Series. Some of my favorite modules thematically and conceptually. While it has a small fan following, it almost always is left out of comments when people talk about the Modules. It is amazing that it even got a mention in the 30 year Anniversary book.

Sorry DNAphil but I don't think most ol' school DM would underrate White Plume Mountain or the Barrier Peaks. Both were awesome and Barrier Peaks in particular is constantly referenced by bloggers and on gaming forums.
My coice would be C2: The Ghost Tower of Inverness. Often overlooked in comparison to its more famous and wilder brothers, it had a lot of problem or mystery sloving elements as I recall. The module was also somewhat less focused on the hack and slash combat and straight out traps you usually found in TSR modules of the time.

Bruce Nesmith's "The Created," Ravenloft RM2, is a creepy introductory adventure of mad puppetry. Some of the early AD&D 2e Lankhmar modules are quite nice.
Fans of high-level 2e adventures liked Rick Swan's "Nightmare Keep." (Disclosure: I edited it.)
- September 1, 2009 at 11:40 AM
I'm a fan of the U1-3 series that begins with the "Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh" and ends with "The Final Enemy". Takes the players out of the dungeon (for the most part), and also gives them some interesting moral choices to make.
- September 1, 2009 at 12:03 PM
- Vincent said...
I'll speak up for UK2/UK3 - The Sentinel and The Gauntlet. The modules are interesting, require experience and judgement, and have elements that are much more tactically challenging than most 1E offerings. If your party can beat this pair they really have something to crow about.

I'm not seeing a lot of underrated modules on here. :)
I'm going to throw out UK1, Beyond the Crystal Cave. UK2-3 quite often get mentioned in people's Top 10 modules lists, but UK1 is mostly forgotten these days. I found it a compelling adventure back in the day, and still use it from time to time.

The most obscure module in my top 10 is B5 Horror on the Hill. Most times I ran it, we never even got to the dungeon hidden on the hill and just had fun in the wilderness setting, but the dungeon has strong character and its own identity, even after all these years.

B9 Castle Caldwell holds a fond place for me - it was my first module as a young (very young) DM, and that OhWahtaGooSiam pun (ouch) still sticks in my mind). That and running it for my family, and my grandmother realizing she could set the wolfpack on fire with flasks of oil and her torch, to defeat them. (That's creative problem solving in the elderly for you, folks.)

Let's see. For Basic, I thought X4-X5 Master of the Desert Nomads was very interesting and flavorful, and you never hear about it.
For 1e, it's hard to say anything's underrated, as people talk about most of those. Let's see, I think N1: Against the Cult of the Reptile God is good; you don't hear about that one as much as the I series etc.
For 2e, Night Below. A great balancing act between sandbox framework and overarching plot.
- September 1, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Lichemaster for WFRP 1 is a module I've used several times for D&D with great results. I don't know if that counts as underrated because it's technically for a different game.

These three Undermountain adventures came and went so fast few people even know of their existence. All three were a lot of fun and continue to provide me with inspiration on dungeon crawl adventures of my own making. If you can find them, they're worth picking up.
Undermountain: The Lost Level
Undermountain: Maddgoth's Castle
Undermountain: Stardock

I second the votes for UK2 & 3. They went really well back in the day, once upona time... : )
In fact a lot of those adventures that were in the old White Dwarf were winners too.

I think my favorite underrated module of all time was B10 - Night's Dark Terror. This module had it all - a siege on a stronghold, wilderness adventures including 3 goblin lairs, a werewolf pack, dealings with the fey, ancient tombs and gold-mines, a powerful wizard BBEG, wererat knife-fighters, gnoll burial grounds, treks through perilous mountains, and an ancient valley that was home to the remnants of a long-lost empire!
The most amazing thing about this module is that it clocks in at a whopping 55-pages. If you can find a copy of this masterpiece (even in PDF) it is well worth the money. The maps alone will blow your EFFin' mind out your butthole!

I have to second L1: The Secret of Bone Hill. It was full of evocative new monsters, it detailed a full area including the town in exquisite detail and it had several cool bad guys lurking around in it. Also, GHOULSTIRGES!

I was a big fan of Dwellers of the Forbidden City. Lots of interaction. Lots of places to go. Always enjoy Keep on the Borderlands. Can DM it in my sleep and it always seems to go in a different direction. Acverns of Thracia- Judges Guild could be a lot of fun.

|More Correspondence Chess Info
|Correspondence Chess
|November 30, 1999
The United States Chess Federation (USCF) offers officially rated chess play through a variety of medians, one being Correspondence Chess (CC). The USCF offers members events played through the mail and email. Once you have completed a game the USCF calculates an official USCF CC rating for you! This rating is separate from one you may achieve through over-the-board (OTB) play. Although CC offers many unique benefits to playing chess the major one is that a player can use chess books and chess software provided the program does not use a chess-playing algorithms. In other words, you can do research using books and the equivalent software but it must be your decision as to what move to make...no one nor any program can tell you what move to make!
CC players have the opportunity to achieve Master level ratings and also to compete internationally through the International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF). Why not give USCF CC a try?
Special service: As games are rated you can check here using your USCF ID# to review your cc result history.

The data represents ambient population (combined for night and day) at one-kilometer resolution. Details of age and gender are also provided at certain geographic scales. The data can be limited by state, country, region, or global level. A search can also be customized based on individually defined pixel points. Only the latest data is provided; the producers do not attempt to display comparative data over time.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

ROCKVILLE, Md. - The Montgomery County Council is scheduled to get an update on the county fiscal plan.
The council also is set on Tuesday morning to hear about economic indicators that will need to be considered.
The council will be weighing the impact of the state's "maintenance of effort" law on the county. The measure passed last year by the Maryland General Assembly requires schools to maintain certain school funding requirements.
The council also is expected to take action on a resolution to recommend the General Assembly enhance anti-bullying efforts in schools.

Several devices, from portable computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to mobile phones and video cameras, use liquid crystal display (LCD) technology to render images on a screen. Before these innovations existed, the smallest level of detail that a computer could use was a single pixel. With ClearType font technology, LCD monitors now can display features of text as small as a fraction of a pixel in width.
The result is that the words on a computer screen now look almost as sharp and clear as those printed on a piece of paper. ClearType improves readability of text on LCD displays so that words on the screen appear almost as sharp and clear as words on a printed page. Resolution improvements also increase the sharpness of tiny details in text that is displayed. This makes it easier for the user to read over long durations.
To learn more, visit the ClearType area of the Microsoft typography site.

LIVERPOOL, N.Y. -- Onondaga County sheriff's deputies are searching for clues in a vandalism spree at the field that serves as home to Liverpool Little League baseball.
The first question is just when the damage occurred. League officials were alerted on Sunday that someone had destroyed two dugouts. There was also damage to the electrical wiring and scoreboard at the field at Duerr Park.
Liverpool Little League President Mike Davis said, "We had just finished it. We spent eight weeks. I thought of all our volunteers, countless hours, taking time away from family to get this done. And then it's all in one night, it's gone. Why would someone do that? It's just so pointless and stupid and, you know, you're hurting kids." Davis said there's about $1,500 worth of damage.
Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to make a confidential tip. The number is (315) 425-2111.

Low Benefits, Temporary Jobs -- Work Is Getting Worse ... But Hope for Labor Rights Is Emerging from a Surprising Place
Photo Credit: Working Families Party
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Over the last 30 years, Americans have seen the very nature of work change. Working people used to expect to have a stable job with health benefits and a retirement plan, a job they'd keep for most of their lives. Now, though, workers bounce from job to job, employers have slowly clawed back most of the benefits they used to enjoy, manufacturing mostly happens overseas, and more and more jobs are low-wage service positions, without benefits and with high turnover – jobs in which the worker has little protection from an abusive boss.
A lot of Americans are coming face to face this Labor Day with the kinds of conditions domestic workers have always faced. Domestic workers -- usually women, often women of color, many of them immigrants -- have always had to deal with volatile conditions, unstable pay and almost no legal protections. Yet even in recent years, as the rest of organized labor has declined, domestic workers have managed to win some key victories, overcoming barriers to organizing and winning a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in New York state—and one signature away from getting one in California as well.
Ai-Jen Poo, the director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, was chosen one of Time's 100 most influential people of 2012 for her work organizing domestic workers around the country. She sat down with AlterNet to discuss the changing 21st-century workplace, the campaign for paid sick days for workers, the ways women are leading some of the most exciting labor organizing out there, and NDWA's Caring Across Generations campaign to create good jobs while making our economy a more caring place.
Sarah Jaffe: How do you define "domestic workers" and the work they do?
Ai-Jen Poo: We call domestic work the work that makes all other work possible. It's the work that goes into caring for homes and families across generations, and it's traditionally been done by women. As a paid form of work, it's often by done by immigrant women or women of color. Society has devalued that work over time, and we think that that has a lot to do with who's done the work. The categories of workers are nannies, housekeepers, babysitters, cooks, cleaners, caregivers for the elderly. It's really anybody who either takes care of or supports somebody else in their lives through work that's done in the home.
SJ: You make the point that this work is devalued because of who does it. Immigrant women wind up responsible for other people's families, which creates what Arlie Russell Hochschild called a "care drain." Can you speak to that a little bit?
AJP: The work that goes into caring for families and homes is necessary work. There's no way around it. So it has to get done, and historically, it was women within a particular household who were responsible for that work. As the world of work has shifted and more and more women have entered the public workforce, that work still has to get done, and it's still done predominantly by women. But now, a larger and larger share of that work is done by paid workers who are doing it for both their own families and homes and for the homes of the employers they work for.
And on top of that, women have to figure out how to survive and assert their rights and dignity. And sometimes, they get involved in organizations, which means that they're actually doing like three jobs.
It's a lot to have to take care of your own family and home and somebody else's family and home to have none of that work adequately accounted for or valued in society.

The SFPUC Headquarters are located in downtown San Francisco in a neighborhood dominated by civic buildings and just a block away from City Hall. KMD Architects was tasked with designing the greenest urban building in the country with a close connection to public transit, and a building that minimized natural resources and incorporated on-site renewable energy generation. Starting with the high performance curtain wall, the PUC minimizes heat gain while maximizing daylight. Photovoltaics on the roof and integrated wind turbines in the facade provide 7% of the building's entire energy use. Overall, the combined energy efficient systems account for a total reduction of 61% compared to standard buildings.
The 13-story Class A office building helps the PUC achieve overall cost savings on leases as well as energy. Office spaces inside were carefully designed to allow natural daylighting in as well as provide a healthy and encouraging space for employees. Of particular note, the SFPUC Headquarters features a grey and black water recycling system, which is impressive for such a large building and will help pave the way for more systems of this type in future construction. The project team is seeking LEED Platinum certification and was recently named one of the Top Ten Green Projects of 2013 by AIA/COTE.

In studying the suttas I recently began journaling on the suttas I was reading. Out of this journal I created a study guide and would like to get some feedback on it, in part to check my own understanding and in part to see if it is something anyone else may find useful. It differs a bit from what I have found looking for study guides in that it is more inquiry-based, meaning that it is about 30-40% questions, and it designed to get the reader thinking about their own experiences instead of the technical meaning of the suttas. It is organized thematically and covers just a few basic topics (the four noble truths, eightfold path, and three refuges) to rouse interest and energy to practice. Part of the inspiration comes from conversation I have had with Christian friends and problems I have had explaining my faith or misunderstandings I have encountered. It is also fairly short, about 3 pages of text covering 13 suttas. The writing is a combination of comments meant to clarify the themes and questions to get the reader thinking about the relevance of the Buddha's words.
I'm still a bit unsure about posting the guide. I feel quite unqualified to teach, as I have been interested in Buddhism for only a few years (since 2007) and have had little opportunity to study with a teacher, due to the area where I lived. I have considered letting my thoughts on the suttas go, but since they persist I decided to follow them and see where it leads. Instead of posting the whole guide I wanted to start by just seeing if there is anyone out there who would be interested in looking at it and offering constructive and critical feedback (even though the thought of critical feedback still scares me some).

Broncos deny Starfires in opener
Unable to conjure up any kind of sustained offense, South Adams dropped its season opening girls' basketball game against Daleville, 23-21, Thursday evening at the Stardome.
The host Starfires (0-1) had a short-lived 6-5 lead with 20 seconds left in the first quarter, but went without a field goal the entire second quarter and fell behind. South Adams went nearly 12 minutes before its next field goal, a short baseline lay in by Maddie Morgan with 4:35 left in the third quarter, and trailed 14-9 as a result.
During that dry spell, South Adams only point came on a free throw by Alyssa Bluhm.
"We could not put the ball in the hole, and that comes from several things, la...
