Why? Because you’ve got an awesome sysadmin (or maybe a whole IT department) keeping your business up and running. So say IT loud; say IT proud … [/SIZE][/I] [B][I][SIZE=3]Happy SysAdmin Day![/SIZE][/I][/B] [I][SIZE=3]Wait… what exactly is SysAdmin Day? Oh, it’s only the single greatest 24 hours on the planet… and pretty much the most important holiday of the year. It’s also the perfect opportunity to pay tribute to the heroic men and women who, come rain or shine, prevent disasters, keep IT secure and put out tech fires left and right.

The latest development is that power forward [URL='https://n./content/prospects/2018/nate-roberts-180963']Nate Roberts[/URL] has named his final five programs, and the Orange made the cut. The others are Connecticut, Nebraska, Wake Forest and Washington, where former ‘Cuse assistant [URL='http://insidetheloudhouse.com/2017/03/19/mike-hopkins-bolts-su-washington/']Mike Hopkins[/URL] is now the head coach.

After the ACC formed a men’s basketball officiating alliance in June 2016 with the Big East, Atlantic 10 and Colonial Athletic Association, four new conferences joined the alliance Thursday: the Ivy League, Patriot League, Big South and Northeast. The group will still be led by Bryan Kersey, the ACC’s supervisor of men’s basketball officiating, and his Big East counterpart John Cahill. The eight conferences in the alliance can collaborate on officiating schedules and training and evaluation of young referees, and the primary goal of the alliance is to make officiating more consistent across conferences. “Combining the expertise and resources of outstanding basketball conferences gives us a chance to prominently support current and future officials,” ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a news release. “Adding these important conferences will provide an even greater opportunity to build consistency and quality throughout the officiating ranks.”[/I] ...

And it's still open for business, Donald Campbell, the kitchen manager, said this week. The Italian restaurant known for its giant meatballs, pizza and seafood specialties went on the market last fall. The owners want to sell the property as a working restaurant. A couple of offers were made by people who had other ideas, Campbell said, so the wait continues. Each summer, Luigi's normally closes at the beginning of July for a short vacation, Campbell said. This year, the restaurant closed for a couple of extra days to complete some renovations in the front room and dining room, and to do some painting. "People got nervous," Campbell said. "We're still here." Louis "Luigi" Savastino opened his restaurant in 1954 on South Avenue in Syracuse. A couple of years later, he moved the pasta, pizza and steak restaurant to Valley Drive, where it's been ever since. The original listing price was $750,000. [URL='http://www.huntrealestate.com/home-details/1524-valley-drive-syracuse-ny-13207/651-1-s1005599/']Today, it's $675,000[/URL]. According to the real estate listing, the restaurant's gross annual income exceeds $1.2 million, with a net income of $250,000. The restaurant seats 100 people, with a private room seating 50. It has 2,400 square feet and is in "excellent condition," according to the listing.[/I] ... [/QUOTE]
