Niko Tamurian is Sports Director for CNY Central.
One of the best seasons in Syracuse basketball history came to an end on Saturday night as Syracuse fell to Ohio State 77-70 in the Elite 8.
Ohio State opened a 10 point lead in the second half only to see the Orange rally to close the gap. Ohio State's lead was as much as 7 in the final two minutes before the Orange cut it to three with 30 seconds left.
But in the end, Ohio State was just too much ending Syracuse's season.
The Orange finishes the campaign 34-3, with the most wins for one season in school history.

Shackleton's Whisky Unearthed For Testing Not Tasting
Last year I mentioned that a trove of spirits crates left by Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton under the floorboard of Shackleton's small wooden shack at Cape Royds in Antarctica had been unearthed. A crate of the Charles Mackinlay & Co. whisky has now been recovered and is being slowly thawed in New Zealand. Four crates were left in the ice and the one labeled Mackinlay's whisky is now at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island.
Handling 100-year-old whisky that has been subjected to such harsh conditions is no easy task. The crate has been carefully thawed in a controlled environment. Whyte & Mackay, the Scottish distillery that now owns the Mackinlay's brand, was behind the push to recover the whisky after it was discovered in 2006. It hopes to obtain for samples to test and potentially use to relaunch the defunct Scotch label. Although the whisky may be drinkable it will probably not be tasted. The museum has created a special website to keep the curious informed on the state of the project.

should i lift wieghts when i have football two a days?
I used to work out when we did 2 a days. Make sure you listen to your body !!! I would also only do about a half hour and definatly dont expect to set any PR's while exerting so much energy practicing.
As a former college football player, i can honestly tell you that working out during 2 a days is worthless. Your body is so broken down from the intensity of those 2 practices a day that the extra lifting is just going to add to the breakdown and not help your strength. If you are in 2 a days for 2 weeks, dont bother lifting during that time, then get into your in season maintenance program as soon as the 2 a days are over, you wont have lost much strength.
I used a westside type program during the season, working out only twice a week. I ****canned the max effort work for the season and kept the dynamic and rep work. Typically monday i would warm up with some light to medium weight doubles on the clean, then 8 sets of 2 w/50% of max on the dynamic effort box squat, then finish w/ abs and hamstring work. On thursday i would do dynamic benching with 6 sets of 3 w/ 50/60% of max, followed up with close grip bench or inclines w/ close grip for 3 sets of 5 and then some back and tricep work. The idea is to keep your speed and power up without breaking your body down too much.
Ichidan I agree 100% with youre post. I would imagine youre dehydrated, and sore. I would just make it threw 2 days, then start youre season workout. I played 3 years of high school ball, not playing this year. So I could give u some lifting tips, workouts, that is if you needed them? Mark
you have a pm. Mark

Tech Manual
Installing Gentoo
A record of a conversational and hands-down experience for installing OS Gentoo. The 15-page manual goes over the basics of what is Gentoo, partitioning, kernel, networking, installing softwares like GIMP and OpenOffice, etc. An extract:
"KERNEL: Kernel knows all kinds of languages. For instance, that of the mouse, the keyboard, hard idsk, etc. All these have their own languages. The kernel understands all of them. For example, when we press A on the keyboard, how can the monitor know what has happened? The kernel tells the monitor, "Hello mister, 'A' has been pressed. Come on, show it on the screen!" If we save something on the hard disk, it is the kernel which talks to the hard disk, and only then does the work reach the hard disk. This is very important."

#31 in Short-Term Bond
U.S. News evaluated 115 Short-Term Bond Funds. Our list highlights the top-rated funds for long-term investors based on the ratings of leading fund industry researchers.
The fund has returned 0.54 percent over the past year, 1.51 percent over the past three years, 3.63 percent over the past five years, and 3.14 percent over the past decade.
Trailing Returns | Updated 11.30.2013 |

3 Years (Annualized) | 1.5% |
5 Years (Annualized) | 3.6% |
10 Years (Annualized) | 3.1% |
For those who might be frustrated with near-zero money market yields, the T. Rowe Price Short-Term Bond Fund meets investors halfway by giving them the opportunity to earn higher income without exposing them to too much volatility.
As of December 04, 2013, the fund has assets totaling almost $6.39 billion invested in 712 different holdings. Its portfolio primarily consists of short-term domestic bonds, with a smaller portion of foreign bonds.
Although the fund lagged a bit behind its category and benchmark when the bond markets took a hit in 2008, manager Ted Wiese managed to keep the fund in the black while many other bond funds foundered. During the housing market meltdown and sub-prime mortgage crisis, Wiese says the fund escaped the massive losses some of its peers sustained because of extensive analysis and research. In 2010, the fund posted some fairly average returns, which Wiese says is a result of its more conservative approach. "We tend to perform well when risk is being shunned in the marketplace," Wiese says. "Over the past 18 months, we've been more of a medium performer because risk-taking has been rewarded."
Since mid-2008, the fund has loaded up on corporate bonds, which have shifted from about 28 percent of total assets to around 50 percent as of October 2010. "Corporate bonds were trading very cheaply because everyone was de-risking," Wiese says. "My only regret is that I didn't buy more." However, he says the fund is at its "high-water mark" in exposure to corporate bonds and that he expects the allocation to decrease as he looks for opportunities in government agency mortgage-backed securities. The fund has returned 0.54 percent over the past year and 1.51 percent over the past three years.
According to Morningstar, Wiese took over in 1994 after stakes in mortgage derivatives caused the fund to falter a bit. Since then, the fund hasn't lost money in any 12-month period starting in 2000. The fund has returned 3.63 percent over the past five years and 3.14 percent over the past decade.
Investment Strategy
Manager Ted Wiese likes to invest in a range of short-term bonds with durations between 1.8 and two years, and seeks to generate a high level of income while controlling price fluctuation. "We don't take big interest-rate bets," Wiese says. "I usually don't like to take a position one way or the other unless the direction of interest rates is really clear." He tends to overweight the fund in corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed bonds, and underweights in treasuries and government agency-backed bonds. Although most of the fund's assets are in high-quality bonds, Wiese is willing to take on some risk when he thinks the price is right, Morningstar says. This usually amounts to picks in mid-quality corporate bonds and international bonds.
At T. Rowe Price, separate committees evaluate the portfolio's stakes in riskier assets such as derivatives. Wiese says the research that goes into "understanding what we own is paramount to our success."
Role in Portfolio
Morningstar calls this fund a "supporting player."
Ted Wiese joined T. Rowe Price in 1984 and has been with the Short-Term Bond Fund since 1995. The firm's bond team, which includes five portfolio managers and eight credit analysts, supports Wiese. According to Morningstar, Wiese keeps things simple and his experience has led him to "steer clear of esoteric structured bonds and derivatives that have tripped up others."
Investing in high-yield bonds may subject the portfolio to greater credit and market risks. Interest-rate risks should be considered in any bond fund.

Hello, I think it is about time that Daniel changed the instructions on the web page. Here are the instructions you'll need to follow. First you'll have to change the /etc/beowulf/fstab file to look like this: /dev/ram3 / ext2 fs_size=65536 0 0 #/dev/hda1 beoboot ext2 defaults 0 0 #/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 #/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 0 0 #none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 #$MASTER:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 Then you'll need to boot off of the floppy and do the beofdisk, reboot, beoboot-install. Before you reboot the last time you'll need to edit your fstab file again so it looks similar to this: #/dev/ram3 / ext2 fs_size=65536 0 0 #/dev/hda1 beoboot ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 $MASTER:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 Then reboot. I've found that the last node in the cluster always has a problem booting. Just givem it some time and it will finally boot.

When you create an application in Windows Azure, Windows Azure provides a friendly subdomain on the cloudapp.net domain so your users can access your application on a URL like http://<myapp>.cloudapp.net. Similarly, when you create a storage account, Windows Azure provides a friendly subdomain on the core.windows.net domain so your users can access your data on a URL like https://<mystorageaccount>.blob.core.windows.net. However, you can also expose your application and data on your own domain name, such as contoso.com.
This task will show you how to:
There are two ways you can configure the Domain Name Server (DNS) settings on your domain registrar to point to your Windows Azure hosted service:
CNAME or Alias record (preferred)
With a CNAME, you map a specific domain, such as www.contoso.com or myblog.contoso.com, to the <myapp>.cloudapp.net domain name of your Windows Azure hosted application. The lifetime of the <myapp>.cloudapp.net domain name required to implement this solution is the lifetime of your hosted service and persists even if your hosted service does not contain any deployments.
Note, however, that most domain registrars only allow you to map subdomains, such as www.contoso.com and not root names, such as contoco.com or wildcard names, such as *.contoso.com.
A record
With an A record, you map a domain (e.g., contoso.com or www.contoso.com) or a wildcard domain (e.g., *.contoso.com) to the single public IP address of a deployment within a Windows Azure hosted service. Accordingly, the lifetime of this IP address is the lifetime of a deployment within your hosted service. The IP address gets created the first time you deploy to an empty slot (either production or staging) in the hosted service and is retained by the slot until you delete the deployment from that slot. You can discover this IP address from within the Windows Azure Management Portal.
The main benefit of this approach over using CNAMEs is that you can map root domains (e.g., contoso.com) and wildcard domains (e.g., *.contoso.com), in addition to subdomains (e.g., www.contoso.com).
Note, however, because the lifetime of the IP address is associated with a deployment, it is important not to delete your deployment if you need the IP address to persist. Conveniently, the IP address of a given deployment slot (production or staging) is persisted when using the two upgrade mechanisms in Windows Azure: VIP swaps and in-place upgrades.
The remainder of this section focuses on the CNAME approach.
To configure a custom domain name, you must create a new CNAME record in your custom domain name's DNS table. Each registrar has a similar but slightly different method of specifying a CNAME record, but the concept is the same.
Log on to your DNS registrar's website, and go to the page for managing DNS. You might find this in a section, such as Domain Name, DNS, or Name Server Management.
Now find the section for managing CNAME's. You may have to go to an advanced settings page and look for the words CNAME, Alias, or Subdomains.
Finally, you must provide a subdomain alias, such as www. Then, you must provide a host name, which is your application's cloudapp.net domain in this case. For example, the following CNAME record forwards all traffic from www.contoso.com to contoso.cloudapp.net, the DNS name of our deployed application:
A visitor of www.contoso.com will never see the true host (contoso.cloudapp.net), so the forwarding process is invisible to the end user.
The example above only applies to traffic at the www subdomain. You cannot specify a root CNAME record that directs all traffic from a custom domain to your cloudapp.net address, so additional alias records must be added. If you want to direct all traffic from a root domain, such as contoso.com, to your cloudapp.net address, you can configure a URL Redirect or URL Forward entry in your DNS settings, or create an A record as described earlier.
This section describes how to associate your own custom domain with a Windows Azure storage account. When you complete the tasks in this section, your users (assuming they have sufficient access rights) will be able to access blobs within this storage account as follows:
The tasks in this section use a DNS feature called CNAME, where a source domain points to a destination domain. Most domain registrars support specifying a subdomain (for example www.contoso.com or data.contoso.com) but not root domain (for example contoso.com) as the source domain. Accordingly, a subdomain is used as the example below.
Configuring a custom domain for a Windows Azure storage account involves several tasks, some of which you will perform in the Windows Azure Management Portal and others in your domain registrar's portal.
Log on to the Windows Azure Management Portal.
In the navigation pane, click Hosted Services, Storage Accounts & CDN.
At the top of the navigation pane, click Storage Accounts.
In the items list, click the storage account that you want to associate with a custom subdomain.
On the ribbon, in the Custom Domain group, click Add Domain.
The Add a Custom Domain dialog box opens.
In the Custom domain name field, enter the subdomain that you will use to reference blob containers for the storage account (for example, data.contoso.com), and then click OK.
The Validate Custom Domain dialog box (shown below) opens. The dialog box displays the information that you need to create a CNAME record on the domain registrar's website.
Use the Copy button at the right end of each field to copy the alias and destination host name that you will use in the CNAME record, and paste these values into email or a text editor for later use. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes to allow the values to be copied to the Clipboard. You will paste these values into the website of your domain registrar in the next procedure.
The items list shows the new custom subdomain under the storage account. The custom domain has Pending status until you validate the subdomain in the Management Portal. Your next step is to create a CNAME record that Windows Azure will use to confirm that you control the subdomain.
On your domain registrar's website, add a CNAME record to the domain, using the alias and destination host name that you copied from the Validate Custom Domain dialog box.
For example, if you are using the subdomain data.contoso.com, your CNAME record will use values that look similar to this:
Different domain registrars use different names for the two parameters in the CNAME record.
Allow time for the CNAME record to propagate to all name servers on the Internet. Propagation can take 12 hours or longer.
In the Windows Azure Management Portal, in the navigation pane, click Hosted Services, Storage Accounts & CDN.
In the items list, under the storage account, click the custom subdomain that you want to validate.
On the ribbon, in the Custom Domain group, click Validate Domain.
If the validation is successful, the status of the custom subdomain changes to Allowed.
If the validation is not successful, the Validate Custom Domain dialog box displays a validation status of Validation Failed, and the items list shows the custom subdomain status as Forbidden. In that case, you might need to wait awhile longer to allow the updated domain record to finish propagating to all name servers on the Internet.
Windows Azure only validates that a CNAME record for the domain corresponds to the alias that you copied from the Validate Custom Domain dialog box. (In the Properties pane for the custom domain, this alias is displayed under CName redirect.) Windows Azure does not check to make sure that you used a subdomain for the custom domain. If you did not use a subdomain for the custom domain, you will not be able to access your blobs using the custom domain name, even if validation succeeds.
On the domain registrar's website, add a second CNAME record to the domain. This CNAME record associates the validated custom subdomain name with the Windows Azure storage account.
For example, if your validated subdomain is data.contoso.com, create a CNAME record with the following entries:
Allow time for the CNAME record to propagate to all name servers on the Internet.
After propagation of the CNAME record completes, you should be able to use the subdomain in URIs to reference public containers and blobs in the storage account.
In a web browser, use a URI in the following format to access a blob in a public container:
For example, you might type the following URI to access a web form via a data.contoso.com custom subdomain that maps to a blob in your myforms container:

Shatter It! is the new pre-cutting tool of Pulldownit, it is Voronoi-based because this scheme has showed to be the best mathematical pattern for brittle fracture. Its technology allows to pre-cut a 3D model in hundred of shards in seconds, in addition the fragments generated plug easily in the Pulldownit solver to perform simulation in a fast and reliable way.
The technology of fracture inside Pdi! is absolutely new and groundbreaking. It allows to fracture any kind of brittle material like stone, glass or stucco. By using it digital artist are able to simulate the collapse of structures or terrain cracking in minutes. Not the least its easy setup and powerful stress tools allow for control in the creation of cracks and drive the simulation to the desired end.
Pdi! is currently integrated in Autodesk 3d Max and Maya, It catches the geometry from the viewports and computes the final result as animation keys, It allows to reset the simulation and start again as many as needed also tweaking parameters and resume simulation at any frame, in addition animated objects and characters are able to interact with the simulated ones.
Pulldownit is a brand new dynamics solver which allows for the creation of fractures as well as massive rigid bodies simulations. By using its technology digital artists are able to simulate fast and easily the collapse of buildings, cracking surfaces or fracturing any kind of brittle material.

The video above is news coverage of Wednesday's hearing involving Macon-Bibb County Lt. Stephanie Burke, who was demoted from captain by Chief Marvin Riggins after learning of Burke's involvement in a September 18 hazing using a fake gunman at Station 108. The clip below has a longer, unedited version of the video that prompted the punishment. Chief Riggins narrates that video explaining why he believes Burke knew more than she admitted. At the bottom is the video that was posted to YouTube.
From Amy Leigh Womack at Macon.com:
During testimony Wednesday, a former Macon-Bibb County fire captain denied that she had helped plan a hazing prank at a fire station.
Stephanie Burke also denied that she told another firefighter to video the prank. The video was later posted on the social media website YouTube, prompting an investigation and subsequent disciplinary action.
Earlier in the hearing, Fire Chief Marvin Riggins testified that Burke's reactions on the video did not indicate to him "someone who is afraid."
Burke took the stand Wednesday afternoon to say she knew about the stunt in advance, but didn't know the details.
In fact, one firefighter texted her to say he couldn't find anyone to play the role of a shooter, so the stunt was called off.
When the masked gunman entered the station house that day, she said, she was scared at first, but soon realized that the prank was back on.
Earlier, a Macon-Bibb fire battalion chief defended Burke. James Wallace was the first witness for the defense.
He says Burke was good at her job as captain and he would be glad to have her back in that role. He said demoting Burke to lieutenant for her role in the hazing stunt was too harsh.
Five firefighters were disciplined in the case.
Wallace today said he had heard scuttlebutt that a prank was in the works against a new private at Station 108. He says he did not know exactly what was happening, he'd just heard talk of it.
Wallace says pranking rookies had been a tradition at the fire department.
Wallace says he was on the other side of the building when the prank happened. He found out about it when he walked back across and everyone was laughing.
He said he saw the video that night and told them they would end in the chief's office for that. He says he thought that would end it.
Wallace says if he had to recommend discipline for Burke he would agree with a 20-day suspension but not demotion.
"Her, or any of them, I would take them back today," Wallace said when asked if he would be willing to have Burke serve as captain again.
Earlier in the day, Macon-Bibb's fire chief testified that Burke lied to him about planning the videotaped shooting stunt.
Chief Marvin Riggins was the first witness today against Burke.
He said he talked to Burke the day after the videotaped hazing stunt. When he asked her if she knew about the prank, Riggins says Burke told him she was as surprised as the rookies.
Riggins then showed an unedited version of the hazing stunt. He stopped it at several spots to point out Burke.
He says he can see Burke laughing with other firefighters while it happened. She put her hands over her ears just as the firecracker was set to go off, and she jumped up to give high fives at the end. The chief says those actions show she was not scared and had to know about what was happening.
Riggins says after initial interviews, three firefighters gave additional statements saying Burke was more involved than she let on.
Riggins says he asked her repeatedly if she was involved, and she said no.
During cross examination, Riggins says firefighter Justin hill came to him saying he did not feel safe or comfortable at station and was having sleep issues. He was one of the rookies at the firehouse, he said.
Capt Tom Musselwhite was the next witness for city. He was ordered by the chief to conduct a criminal investigation on the incident.
Musselwhite says after looking at the video frame by frame, there was no doubt everyone but the rookie was involved.
He says Burke laughed, moved away from the camera so you could see the rookie, and she clapped at the end.
Burke's hearing began just after 9 a.m. at Macon City Hall.
In his opening statement, Judd Drake the city's attorney, said Burke is guilty of improper conduct, breaking city guidelines, dishonest and disgraceful conduct.
Drake says video and testimony will show Burke failed to accept responsibility and was dishonest to the chief.
Burke's lawyer says the captain is a 25-year veteran of the department, who has never been never been disciplined and worked through the ranks.
She says Burke lost two months' pay and was demoted. They're asking the judge to overturn Chief Marvin Riggins' decision, restore her captain's rank and repay the days lost
Two firefighters have already had their appeal hearings. Josh Brewer who video-taped the incident was demoted and suspended. Christopher Hughes, who says he brought the gun used in the video, was fired.
Firefighters allegedly staged the stunt as a hazing prank, and the video was posted to YouTube.

Style: Mini-Dress & Blazer
You know those days when you think you have nothing to wear? This is why I always have few outfits that are suitable for any occasion. Jenny dress by IVANAhelsinki is one of them. I had my friend's daughter's baptism this weekend and after trying on multiple outfits, I opted for this one: it always works! I like to pair this chic and comfortable bamboo print dress with a beige blazer and Beyond Skin nude pumps with silver detail. This outfit can go from sophisticated to sexy, and for less leg, just add tights:-)

DANBURY, Conn. — The Food and Drug Administration has given special designation to a treatment made by Biodel for patients with congenital hyperinsulinism, a rare disorder that affects children.
Biodel announced that it had received orphan drug designation for glucagon to prevent hypoglycemia, or abnormally low blood sugar, in patients with CHI.
The FDA grants orphan drug designation to treatments for rare diseases. The designation makes the companies receiving it eligible for incentives like FDA grant-funding for clinical trial costs, tax credits, waiver of user fees and a seven-year period of marketing exclusivity following regulatory approval, compared with the five that new drugs normally receive.
CHI occurs in 1-in-30,000 to 50,000 births, and children who have it generally need aggressive artificial calorie support to prevent hypoglycemia and neurologic damage, but neurologic damage still occurs in about 20% to 50% of cases.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all the way from australia mate! Hopefully you can find some work real soon
i'll look through my bookmarks and post the best ones/most consistent ones for surveys. Just gimme a lil bit.
I'm really late to the party but better late than never. Bro first off I'm really sorry to hear this man. Why does these kind of things always happen to the good peopl heh? I really hope the best for you man and I feel terrible finding out about this. Anything you may need just please let us know however you can. As far as your original question I can't really think off the top of my head but there must be tons of jobs. One I am familiar with but not sure what the requirements are but for sure you can do at home. What about brokerage? I work in the import and export and logistics industry and I have worked with a few custom brokers over the time that work from home. Might not be what you are looking for but it's something you may look into. But like I said, have no idea what kind of requirements you may need for that. Regardless, let me know whatever you need bud. My prayers are with you.
I'm sorry to hear about your skin condition. Hopefully the company you work for does the right thing and puts you on paid medical leave or something. As for at home work, I hear amazon is hiring for that very type of job right now.
Damn it! Stinger I'm sorry to hear about your condition... I hope it goes away quickly for you buddy. About social security only being half of your pay might not be so bad when you think about it. You probably spend anywhere between 20-30% on fuel and food at work and now not having to drive and eating at home should be cheaper. So 50% less my only be 20-30% less. I know it's not great but it should help a little. A couple of years ago when I had knee surgery I was laid off for 6 months and I was freaking out because it was 50% of my pay gone, but once money started flowing in, and I seen how much I spent just going to work things were not so bad. If you can pickup one of these online jobs then things might turn fairly good minus the health problems.. I hope things start looking up for you and your family buddy.
Ya know, I had never really considered the expense of driving back and forth to work. That is one expense that I would not have to worry about for sure. Good thinking MW!!! Update: After some talking with the company President and working some things out, something pretty frigging amazing happened. He is going to have me working the office and dealing with the machine shop customers for 24 hours a week, which will allow me to keep the medical insurance. I explained to him that 24 hours a week would pretty much kill me financially speaking. He told me that I was a big enough asset to the company and they did not want to loose me, that the company is willing to add in the extra 16 hours a week in pay to equal 40 hours!!!!!!! Made me pretty much tear up when he explained that too me. They are willing to spend that much money to keep me!!
Wow bud.... that news brought tears to my eyes too! OMFG there are still good people out there. Humanity has a chance after all
Gave me a little welling in the eyebulbs, too. Like I always tell people, hard work always pays off in the end. I'm sure they would have been more than happy to get rid of a slouch in your same position. What the company is stepping up and doing I'm sure is pretty humbling, but it's also a good testament to the job you have been doing up until this point. Nice work, glad to hear good things about a Montanan turned Wyoming sheep buster
Damn man, sorry to hear about this, My thought and prays are with ya bro! I am glad your company is stepping up and doing the right thing~ That truly is a blessing! Hope you are doing OK brother!!
Well damn you must be able to suck a golf ball through a garden hose son! NICE JOB! (No pun intended) Just to let you know what happen to your skin is what happens to me when I walk into a church.
I've not known you for a long time, but with in that time I know you are an amazing person and you know what they say, "Amazing things happen to amazing people!". Or at least I think that's what they say... lol any way it sounds good..lol I'm glad things are looking better for you buddy! This news has really made my day!
Oh that's absolutely amazing! I'm so incredibly happy for you! Now that you have a job figured out, I particularly hope that the medicine keeps your symptoms under control!
There is truth in that. Last month or so there was a story on 60 Minutes about video games helping pain. Injured war veterans were playing a game where they moved through a course throwing snowballs at things. They were feeling less pain then if they were on opiates. Sorry to hear of your condition stinger. That is awesome to hear how your employer is treating you. God speed to recovery.
This completes my day man, knowing this happened to you definitely brings a smile to my face brotha. I'm really happy for you and glad there is still good people out there man. See, things always work out dude oh, TMM and his posts
