2021 Maserati Ghibli Trofeo First Look Review: Ferrari Power To The Rescue
by Jay Traugott First Look / Comments
A powerful V8 engine makes everything better.
The Maserati Ghibli nameplate dates back to 1967, with the current generation arriving in 2013. The Ghibli's return was a big deal for the Italian marque because it represented a return to the mid-size sedan segment after nearly two decades. The Maserati Quattroporte, which shares a platform with the Ghibli, is simply too big for some customers. As a rival to the likes of the BMW 5 Series, the Ghibli has serious competition. But up until now, only one powertrain was available to US customers: a Ferrari-derived 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6. In July 2021, a hybrid version debuted, and now we have a new variant in the form of the 2021 Maserati Ghibli Trofeo, a V8-powered Italian luxury high-performance sedan that, on paper, checks all the right boxes. Alongside the also new Quattroporte Trofeo and Levante Trofeo SUV, the Ghibli Trofeo is part of the trident brand's effort to add some much-needed excitement to its range.
Sexy Italian Styling Never Fails
The exterior design of the 2021 Ghibli Trofeo doesn't look much different than the V6 model, but there are a few subtle differences. There's a new front grille featuring twin vertical bars in a slick Black Piano finish, while carbon fiber on the front air duct trims and rear extractor provide an even sportier yet elegant look.
Perhaps the best and most recognizable way to distinguish the Ghibli Trofeo (and all other Trofeo models) from the V6 version is the side air vents and lightning bolt located on the Trident badge, which can be found on the C-pillars. The hood is also new, featuring a pair of air ducts to help improve engine cooling.
Out back, the taillights have been restyled with a "boomerang-like profile" inspired by the Alfieri concept car from 2014. A set of 21-inch aluminum Orione wheels are standard.

Updated Interior Still Looks Familiar
Although not a complete interior redesign, Maserati has given the Ghibli Trofeo some nice updates suitable for the high-tech era. There's a new display panel housing a bespoke Trofeo interface. Full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather upholstery is standard and the headrests also have Trofeo badge embroidery. But in general, this is the same Ghibli interior with seating for five that dates back nearly seven years.
Fortunately, the automaker has added its Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) multimedia technology. The screen is larger than before, now measuring 10.1-inches (up from 8.4-inches), and offers improved resolution. A new graphic interface can also be found. The Maserati Connect program provides an attractive range of connected services, such as the ability to alert the driver when regular servicing is needed and up-to-date traffic information.
Amazon Alexa services can also be activated as well as a WiFi hotspot. Drivers can be in contact with the system by way of their smartphone or smartwatch by simply downloading the Maserati Connect app.
580 Horsepower, Courtesy Of Ferrari
Although the Ghibli Trofeo doesn't look much different inside and out, it's what under the hood that matters most. Earning the Trofeo moniker requires the Ferrari-developed and built 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 with a total output of 580 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. That power is directed to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The automaker claims a top speed of 203 mph, making both Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo models the fastest-ever Maserati sedans.
Both vehicles feature Maserati's Integrated Vehicle Control system for a guaranteed thrilling driving experience. This is augmented by the Corsa setting which firms up the suspension for even sportier driving. Launch Control is also standard.
It should be noted that Maserati's contract with Ferrari for the use of this engine will soon be coming to an end. Consider the Ghibli Trofeo as something quite special because, in all likelihood, there won't be a more powerful version for the current generation model.
Pricing & Competition
Official pricing has not been announced just yet, but it definitely won't be cheap. At present, the most expensive Ghibli costs nearly $90,000. The addition of the V8 will more than likely push that price above the $100k mark and this is all assuming the Ghibli Trofeo will be sold in the US. Chances are it will be, unlike the hybrid variant.
At that predicted price and with that much power under its hood, the Ghibli Trofeo is in direct competition with the best of the best: the BMW M5 (600 hp) and Mercedes-AMG E63 S (603 hp). These two super sedans have been direct competitors for years and the Ghibli Trofeo's arrival will surely make things more interesting.
The 2021 Maserati Ghibli Trofeo will be built in Turin, Italy, and is expected to go on sale sometime in the next few months.

How real-world missions offer inroads to space science across disciplines
Using the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope launch and Artemis moon mission, educators can make space science tangible, from STEM to art.
Lauren Barack Contributor
Permission granted by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group
As a child growing up in Houston, Texas, Stefanie Milam remembers her first school trip to the Johnson Space Center, then telling her mom she planned to work for NASA or be a ballerina.
Today, Milam is the James Webb Space Telescope deputy project scientist for planetary science at NASA. The telescope is set to launch Dec. 18 and designed to give humans a deeper look into the early universe than previously possible.
"We will be seeing things Hubble can't see just because we are operating at longer wavelengths," she said. "Hubble can't see behind dust. We can see through the dust."
Though no students, or scientists, will be physically along for the ride with the Webb telescope, Milam said there are myriad ways learners and educators can run experiments or eventually engage with the telescope's data, bringing outer space down to Earth — and into the classroom.
While teachers today may remember the go-to project of student-made models of the solar system, there are soon-to-launch real-world examples that can spark not only space science curriculum, but math, robotics and engineering, too.
Whether that's following along with Webb's discoveries or the 2022 launch of Artemis 1 set for the moon, educators can find many ways to make STEM more tangible.
Facts to teach, projects to launch
Talking about the components that went into Webb is a great launching point for classes, Milam said. To start, she suggests educators discuss the 18 segments that make up the telescope's 6.5-meter hexagonal mirror, plus the little robots on the back that allow each segment to move independently.
The mirror is also covered with gold, providing an opportunity for students to discuss the properties of the metal, which, when compressed, can compact into the size of a small golf ball.
When unfurled, Milam said, the telescope spans about the size of a tennis court, with an observatory roughly two stories tall. To get all those pieces into a rocket (and space) and ensure it could take flight, the structures were made with carbon. Its mirrors are hollow and built with the metal beryllium, a strong yet lightweight material able to conduct electricity and heat very well.
Milam also suggested educators could have students explore the physics of kites, looking at lift and drag, as the sun shield on the telescope acts as a giant kite, helping to keep Webb in orbit around the Sun. In this way, as solar radiation pushes against the shield, the telescope can maintain its location and not drift off into the solar system.
"In the reality of the James Webb Telescope, we anticipate having to do this every couple of weeks," said Milam.
Moon missions broaden horizons
Artemis 3 is the mission scheduled to send astronauts back to the Moon by 2024. But the first test is much sooner, with Artemis 1 expected to launch in early 2022 and include a test flight of Orion, the spacecraft meant to carry the first woman astronaut to the Moon.
Retired K-12 science teacher Bob Riddle said there are tons of activities online that can hook students into learning about the Moon and other celestial bodies, many of which are designed and supported by NASA, including a PDF book and student challenges.
Riddle, who serves as a NASA Solar System Ambassador and column editor for the National Science Teaching Association's Science Scope magazine, said planets, stars and rockets carry a similar level of fascination for children as dinosaurs, especially for those in the earlier grades.
"[Children] could be organized into mission teams and replicate a previous mission or dream up their own mission," he said. "Students, especially at lower grades, seem to be a natural fit for projects, activities, experimenting."
In addition to having students explore Artemis, educators can find other ways to engage students in space science, from running planet searches to coding a video game that has them operate a Mars helicopter, much like the one sent to the red planet with NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also has a series of weekly online packages focused on STEAM, including one that offers activities and modules around living in outer space. The design of the models is to get educators and students to move away from textbooks when they explore science, technology and other related subjects.
"All those STEM subjects are about curiosity and exploring the world around you," said Rohan Kundargi, K-12 community outreach administrator for MIT Office of Government and Community Relations.
Teachers also shouldn't forget one of the biggest classrooms — the sky outside. Riddle said one of his favorite activities is to have students look up at the sky from their home at night and find a galaxy that is as many light years away as their own age.
"If you're 9 years old, for example, find Sirius," he said. "That's nine light years away, so you're looking at light from a star the year you were born."
Linking art and science
Divya Persaud, a postdoctoral scholar at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Ph.D. candidate with University College London, suggests teachers find ways to link space science — and frankly any STEM subject — with other disciplines, including art and design. A poet and musician in addition to being a scientist, Persaud notes creativity plays a significant role in how technology is designed.
"STEM is not just in a tiny bubble that is disconnected from everything else," said Persaud, whose research is focused on satellite imagery and geology around the Mars rover landing site. "But STEM is a beautiful conglomerate of all those things."
Persaud is often involved with educational outreach at her university, hosting many middle school students during visits and lectures. One of her favorite activities with students is to help them get a physical sense of the scale of space by bringing spatial reasoning into play, to move away from flat, 2D images. She points to other online options such as NASA's use of virtual reality, which can allow students to examine the Apollo lander.
"I like this push forward because it makes [space] less mystical," she said.
Ultimately, though, she believes anything that helps students find their way to space is positive. She said it's crucial students don't end up feeling they have to study math, geology or engineering to find their way to the study of space. She added there are people in these fields who work to communicate and write about space, those who analyze images, those who design, and others who are operating the technology.
"If you like something, you find your path to it," she said. "You can be a writer or a chemist and find your way to space."

50 new graduates join the ranks of the State's correctional officers
Issued: 17 June 2015
[PDF, 128KB]
Minister for Corrections David Elliott and Corrective Services NSW Commissioner Peter Severin today congratulated 50 new graduates sworn in to the ranks of the state's correctional officers.
The new correctional officers are the first recruits to graduate from a regional training program introduced earlier this year to give individuals in regional areas an opportunity to train close to home.
Most trainees live in the Central West and will work at Bathurst, Kirkconnell, Lithgow, Oberon and Wellington correctional centres.
The new officers have received a Certificate III in Correctional Practice and have completed training modules designed to ensure they are ready to work in the state's correctional facilities.
Commissioner Severin said the new recruits have completed nine weeks of intensive training.
"They have been taught key legislation, policies and procedures, and have participated in simulated search and emergency response exercises and weapons training.
"They have also taken part in scenario-based activities and assessments that have given them an opportunity to prepare for situations in the workplace," he said.
The new officers have a variety of prior jobs that include tradesmen, miners, jewellers, and accountants.
Minister Elliott congratulated the new recruits. "Correctional officers are well-trained, dedicated professionals who work in challenging and sometimes dangerous environments.
"I look forward to seeing these graduates go on to be the men and women who make up the frontline of Corrective Services NSW."
Minister Elliott made special mention of three members of staff, General Manager Bill Fittler, Chris Woodyatt and Ann Kneller, and their sons Harrison, Jason and Michael, who are graduating today.
Also today, the National Medal and 15 Year CSNSW Service Medal was awarded to six Correctional Service Officers, the CSNSW Service Medal to one officer, and the Meritorious Service Medal to one officer for 25 years' service and another for 35 years' service.

On a recent Sunday, The Observer stood on a vacant lot neighboring the East River. While wistfully admiring Manhattan's picturesque Eastern skyline, we soaked in the park's halcyon beauty. Turning back to face the body of the Randall's Island, we tried to visualize this site swarming with thousands of sweaty, painted, and dust-covered beings.
The next time The Observer will be here the scene will be much different. In less than one month, this site will be filled with a crowd—twice the size of a packed-house at Madison Square Garden—moshing to the most celebrated deejays in house and electronic music.
On Labor Day weekend, Randall's Island will host the third annual Electric Zoo music festival, an event that shares an unconventional history with the island. Unlike other music festivals whose tenancy lasts only as long as festival weekend, Electric Zoo and the island's management have developed a unique symbiosis over the past decade; a relationship that extends beyond Labor Day and into the renovation of the island itself.
"We've spent all year working on making Electric Zoo 2011 even better than the last two," Mike Bindra and Laura De Palma, Executive Producers of Made Event (the festival's sponsoring organization), told The Observer in an email.
The three-day festival is expected to draw one hundred-thousand people, and will showcase over one hundred world-renowned deejays, a collection of themed art installations, multiple popular food vendors, and a ceremony spotlighting a new public art exhibition on the island entitled FLOW.
Five years ago, Mr. Bindra and Ms. Palma teamed with Aimee Boden, the Executive Director of the Randall's Island Sports Foundation (RISF), to collaboratively develop the island as a public space. Drawing on inspiration from the festival, Ms. Boden conceptualized FLOW, a seasonal, outdoor art exhibit which consists of five large-scale installations throughout the lower-half of Randall's Island. The exhibition's title "evolved from both dance music and from artistic expression," Ms. Boden told The Observer in an interview at the Foundation's midtown offices.
Having no artistic expertise, she enlisted the help of Sergio Bessa, the Director of Programs at the Bronx Museum of Art. With the support of Made Event and the Rockefeller NYC Cultural Innovation Fund, RISF and the Bronx Museum launched FLOW. Made Event donated over $42,000 to the project in 2010, and this year they will dedicate $2.00 from every festival ticket sold to the exhibition.
The artists for FLOW were selected from a pool in the Bronx Museum of Art's Artists in Motion program (AIM). AIM is a highly competitive, biannual program that consists of twelve workshops designed to prepare emerging artists for the art market. "It is the most successful program the museum has ever implemented," Mr. Bessa told The Observer in a phone call.
"This is just the beginning," Mr. Bessa eagerly informed us. He added that Randall's Island has recently signed a contract to host the esteemed Frieze International Art Fair's first exhibition in the States.
With the support of their venue and city, Electric Zoo 2009 exploded out of the woodwork. More than forty-thousand people traversed the East River and Hell Gate rapids for the two-day festival. And Made Event never looked back. In 2010, Randall's Island shook under the feet of fifty-thousand indefatigable bodies dancing to Benny Benassi, Kaskade, and others.
"Music and art have always been a part of New York City life and bringing those two elements together within a city park is a natural fit," Mr. Bindra and Ms. Palma wrote to The Observer.
According to DJ Magazine, the festival's line-up for 2011 boasts seven of the world's top ten deejays. The festival's headliners—Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, and Tijs "Tiësto" Verwest—currently hold the top three spots on the magazine's esteemed international rankings.
With this in mind, The Observer called-up native-New York deejay and Zoo veteran, Richard "Moby" Hall, to get his thoughts on the festival. Mr. Hall is currently on-tour in Europe, but we were able to reach him in his hotel room before he went live in the Spanish nightlife hotbed, Ibiza.
Mr. Hall confessed that despite being born only two miles from Randall's Island, he never even knew it existed until he was invited to play the Lollapalooza Music Festival there in 1995. He recalled being struck by the island's antiquated infrastructure. "I thought it was the place where the Legion of Doom would've been housed," he half-joked.
"It's kind of like the Wizard of Oz in that way. I'm just the small man behind the curtain," the famed disc jockey concluded.
The Observer spoke with Victor Calderone, another wizard of the Electric Zoo festival.

Our best Cape Cod vacation!
I came here with my family - 8 adults and 5 kids (all under the age of 8) and had such a wonderful time. This house is right on the water, which makes it super convenient for the little ones. We didn't need to worry about packing up all our gear and food since we were able to just walk back to house if we forgot anything or got hungry. This saved us time and allowed us to spend the entire day on the beach.
Looking forward to having you back in 2017!
Our family loved our stay at the Main house. We loved the convenience of the beach right outside our door and enjoyed the views from the deck and house. We took advantage of all the activities Wellfleet has to offer. We went swimming in the ponds and ocean and went hiking on Great Island, The kayaks and the ping pong table are a real plus. The house is roomy and well-stocked. We're looking forward to going back!
I loved going to sleep and waking up each day so close to the bay. The house is tucked into such a perfect spot. There was a lot of space for a good number of guests, and the house had everything we needed for an amazing week in Wellfleet. Very comfortable! It's a great location for quick walks to the pier, and it was also not far from a number of hikes, ponds, the ocean side, and the town center. I'd go back any summer!
My wife and I has been going to Wellfleet for many years, first with our children and now alone or with friends.. We enjoy this beautiful house because of two main reasons: 1)near the beach and 2) walking distance to the center of town and shops.
The house is well equipped with everything that you might need while on vacation. My two favorites pieces of equipment are the kayaks and the ping pong tables. I have gone kayaking with my friend to Great Island. The porch overlooking the bay is amazing. We have spent a lot of hours on this porch reading, talking or having dinner at night.
The location of this house allows us to go bike riding on the bike trails, swimming in Long Pond, and hiking on Great Island.
Looking forward to having you back this Spring.
My family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed ourselves last August. The location is hard to beat, with a lovely, sandy beach steps away with a killer view.
The house was very homey/comfortable in the best sense. One of the owners, Howard, was a joy to work with.
The Main House is a beautiful place in a quiet cluster of beach-front cottages. My family and always some assorted friends have been staying here for 10 or so years now for a week each summer, and I don't think we could ask for more. So I really owe a review.
From the second floor and its long, spacious wooden balcony, where there's a view of the sea, and from the first floor, you can simply walk a couple hundred feet to the beach itself. The house is very tastefully arranged and has all sorts of amenities, from kayaks to a ping-pong table, a wide screen TV to a second-story porch grille, and a backyard. This is the kind of place that can really hold a sizable group of people. The first floor is a nearly complete living space on its own, with several bedrooms and a full-sized fridge, a spacious living room and sliding glass doors leading to a backyard area with ping-pong table. The second floor has a master bedroom, a kitchen with a giant island, and a long table for sit-down meals. Plus comfy couches and giant chairs for group hang-outs or movies. The house is really well-located, just a few minutes' drive from the Wellfleet pier and the downtown area and 15-20 minutes to ocean beaches and ponds.

Night-shift workers up 9 percent since 2011, say TUC
By Catharine Paddock PhD Published Oct 30, 2016 at 19:35 PM GMT
New figures released by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) show that the number of-night shift workers in the United Kingdom rose by 9 percent during 2011-2016.
The TUC's new analysis reveals the number of people who work nights shifts in the UK now totals 3,135,000 – following an increase of 275,000 since 2011.
The numbers of women night-shift workers in the caring and nursing professions have risen by 15 and 4 percent respectively in the UK since 2011. Image: pixabay
One in eight British employees now works at night – with some clear differences between males and females.
There was a time when most night-shift workers were men in factories. But that has all changed.
The figures for 2016 show while one in seven (14 percent) men work nights compared with one in 11 (9 percent) women, more than two-thirds (69 percent) of the growth in night-shift work in the last 5 years has been fuelled by women.
From 2011-2016, the total number of male night-shift workers rose by 86,000, compared with a rise of 190,000 – more than twice as many – female night-shift workers.
These increases reflect changing patterns in night work, and some of the gender differences involved.
For instance nowadays, most men working nights tend to be in road transport or protective service jobs – the police, the military, and security. But the numbers of male night-shift workers in these occupations have dropped by 12 percent and 26 percent respectively since 2011.
In contrast, in professions where female night-shift workers outnumber males – such as care-working and nursing – the number of women working night shifts have risen by 15 percent and 4 percent respectively since 2011.
Growth has been most rapid in Northern Ireland (58 percent increase in night-shift workers over 2011-2016), followed by London (30 percent growth) and Wales (29 percent).
Further increases anticipated
The TUC expects to see further increases in night-shift workers in the future. For instance, they suggest there will be a greater need for them in London as the Night Tube is rolled out, and also following proposals for a 7-day NHS.
The TUC does not oppose night-working, but says employers should consider and address the effect it has on staff. They urge employers to talk to unions when making decisions affecting night-shift workers.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady says the UK depends on its army of night-workers to keep the country ticking over while the rest of us sleep, and adds:
"Night work is hard and can disrupt family life. So we must show our appreciation for the sacrifices night-workers make by ensuring they have good rights and protections at work. Employers must play fair and play safe, or public safety will be put at risk and the families of night workers will suffer."


We sent one of our popular Bright Goods LED filament light bulb, The George, a maxi globe, off to electronics enthusiast, Sami Mughal, for review and below is what he thought of our lamp!
Sami Mughal is an electronics engineer by day, working on various aspects of design. At night, he dons his blogger cape and works on providing news, reviews and all kinds of tidbits for OxGadgets.com, which covers everything from technology and gadgets to life style and fitness. You can follow his on Twitter as @smacula or check out the blog on Facebook or on Twitter @OxGadgets.
While we probably just ignore the fact, but the last two decades have redefined how we light up our homes. The world was lit up by filament based lamps, that would be somewhere between 15W to a 100W, and you could easily tell how bright something was based on the pure power of the lamp you bought. By our standards today, that sounds a bit scary, especially since even photographers don't use such high wattage lamps. However, the basic filament lamp runs on a very simple principle. A high current is passed through it, and as a result, it glows purely on the basis of how hot it is. Different materials and gases combined with different filaments gave us different colours, and thus the lighting industry was formed.
Then came the energy saver lamp. They looked a bit different, took a while to gain brightness and did not work with our dimmers. However, they saved energy. They would only take something between 6W to 15W, and still give us the light we wanted. Various laws and initiatives to save the environment saw many households and commercial users shift to those. As time has gone on, they have become better looking, give you even better performance in terms of light and life, and even let you dim them.
However, the latest shift towards all things vintage has made us highly nostalgic about those lamps of old. Their hot fuzzy light had a particular warmth that gave us sharp shadows and deep evenings. It just worked, even if it is all about the fact that we grew up with them. This is where Bright Goods comes in. Not only are they offering you LED lamps that look and feel absolutely vintage, as if by magic, they have packed in the energy saver bit too.
Since we were very impressed by what it said on paper, we asked them to send us a sample. It as going to sit above our dining table, which let me tell you, is a high priority spot.
As expected, Bright Goods offer a huge range of different designs. We went with the George, which offers a beautiful lattice/criss-cross LED pattern, which is evident from the picture above.
It arrived well packed, and it looked the part. Mind you, since these are designed for commercial applications, it is a bit bigger than your usual lamp, though as it is both functional and a bit of decoration, I did not mind. Since they come in standard fittings, there is no real installation involved apart from taking your old lamp out and your new lamp in.
As the lamp turns on, you can see the criss-cross lattice of the LEDs lighting up, just like an old fashioned filament lamp. In fact, to quote kids these days, the light, the colour and the looks are all 'on point'. There is absolutely no delay in achieving maximum brightness, and the turn on time is absolutely instant.
Camera issues aside, as is obvious, the lamp looks and feels the part (apart from not getting hot like a regular lamp), and definitely has the 'looks' one wants. In fact, the only problem you may have is the fact that you may want to keep looking at it, and that is definitely not good for your eyes. Being a show piece also means that you don't really need to worry about a lamp shade. They look good on their own.
Personally I am very happy with this lamp there, and I hope it stays there. Energy Saver and LED based lamps tend to last a very long time, and while I have no lifetime data on this, I wouldn't be surprised if this lasts a long time. However, all Bright Goods products are sold with a 2 year guarantee against failure.
The Bright Goods series have been so popular based on their good looks and usability that they are being used all over restaurants and shops in the UK. In fact, an easy place to spot them is your local Nandos!
Price wise, they are a bit more expensive, but you're not just buying a lamp, you're buying a show piece as well. For example, The George, which is what we tried, costs £23.95 from them.
More information on Bright Goods products, their whole range, as well as a portfolio which shows off their usage, and of course the ability to buy them is all available on their website.
More on The George can be found on this page.
Thank you to Sami of Ox Gadgets for the lovely write up on George. To keep up-to-date with technology and lifestyle, take a look at his blog here.


Covers metering and accounting expenses.
(kWh) Covers the cost to produce the electricity you use during a billing period. Energy charges are for the total amount of electricity used.
(kW) Demand is the rate at which you use electricity at a given time. It covers the cost for the equipment (transformers, generators, power lines) needed to bring you service.
The kilowatt (kW) and the kilowatt-hour (kWh) are the basic units of electricity. Your meter measures these units, and we use them to determine your monthly bill.
Columbia Water and Light determines your demand charge by measuring the energy you use over 30 minute intervals. We base the demand charge on your highest average monthly electric demand in any one 30 minute period. Demand charges tend to be 25 percent to 50 percent of your total bill.
For example, if you turn on ten 100-watt light bulbs, you have an instant demand of 1 kW (10 X 100 watts = 1,000 watts = 1 kW). If you leave these ten lights on for one hour, you have an electric use of 1 kWh (1 kW X 1 hour = 1 kWh). If you leave them on for two hours the demand is still 1 kW, but the energy charge is 2 kWh. If you had a demand of 1 kW for two hours, your bill would be less than if you had a demand of 2 kW for one hour, even though your kWh use would be the same. Since you are billed for both demand and energy, keeping both components to a minimum will help keep your electric bill low.

Coach Boeheim's Biography on Suathletics.com...
Thread starter jr4750
jr4750
Am I crazy? Wait, before you answer that... why does this bio look like it has been 5+ years since anyone updated it.
This is the third paragraph, as of January 16, 2014.
Boeheim wrapped up his most recent season as head coach on the Hill with a 829-293 (.739) overall record. He ranked second among active Division I coaches in wins and sixth overall at the end of the campaign. He was honored with a number of coach of the year awards, including those presented by the Associated Press, Naismith Award, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).
I think Hops is old too. This seems a little low brow for your hall of fame coach who is literally creating history with every win to have his bio on the schools website wrong, does it not?? Am I seeing something
http://suathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=816&path=mbasket
Watching you.
Why doesn't the SUAD just let syracusefan.com run their SUA site for them? There would never, ever be anything out of date. Guaranteed.

The SU Athletics website is the worst - even for the basics.
The Otto's Army page (which a lot of students are likely looking at right now with the Duke campout getting started) - has clearly not been updated since 2011. And Otto's Army now works directly with SU Athletics.
And under "facilities" - even the description of the Carrier Dome - is clearly a relic as well (still trumpeting a 31,000 crowd as one of the greatest ever)... not to mention, the TRACK AND FIELD teams! They moved out years ago... there's no more track in the Dome!!!!!
Welcome to the LOUD HOUSE!!! Come experience the mystique of DOME-ination. The electricity and cheers that 32,000 fans bring to the Carrier Dome sends chills through your body when watching the Syracuse Orangemen dominate their opponents on the basketball court as they improve their impressive all-time Dome record of 279-57.
The Carrier Dome, America's most famous and largest structure of its kind on a college campus, is a facility that generates media exposure and adds glamour that attracts some of the nation's most talented student-athletes to Syracuse University. Former greats that have graced the Carrier Dome hardwood include Dwayne "Pearl" Washington, Billy Owens, Rony Seikaly, Sherman Douglas, Derrick Coleman, John Wallace, Jason Hart and Etan Thomas.
Eighteen million people have passed through the Dome's revolving doors since the building's first public event in 1980. Most fans are aware that the Carrier Dome is a tough place for an opponent to play a basketball game. Just ask the Georgetown Hoyas who witnessed the Dome's largest on-campus crowd in college basketball during the 2000 season. The Carrier Dome welcomed 31,009 fans the day the Orangemen played the Hoyas.
The Dome also was host to the 2000 NCAA East Regional Tournament in March and continues to act as a multi-purpose facility adaptable to staging events. These events range from the annual spring commencement to concerts featuring musicians such as Bruce Springstein and Billy Joel and ice shows such as the sold-out performance of former Olympic skaters.
In addition, the Dome also hosts SU's nationally-ranked football team, the seven-time NCAA Champion men's lacrosse team, the women's lacrosse squad and the track and field teams.

The more I read that Carrier Dome description - the more it grinds my gears.
Not even a mention of Anthony or McNamara as one of those greats who've graced the hardwood.

I have to say, it'd be nice to see consequences for that kind of shoddy work (and not just with technology or in athletics) at SU.
My hunch: that text predates the Sidearm era, Sidearm doesn't want to bother with content it didn't create, and SU doesn't fix it because it didn't hire Sidearm so it could play around with its own website. Breakdown in the delegation of duties and quality control, not too different than DPS ineptitude or slapdash snow removal.
bevosu
I think we should put together and send one of those group cards (where we all sign) to whoever has the authority to change things at SU. That site has been a disaster for years.
I feel bad for the people who have given them money for OAA only to have to put up with their shoddy product. They're stealing money.
I've seen many much smaller colleges with way less athletic prominence have much nicer athletic websites.

Those who keep complaining(that includes me) about the non existence of early stage support ecosystem in India that is so vital to sucess of entreprenuership should take a look at recently to be launched TiE EAP program. Take a read and you would realize that this is possibly the kind of kickstart that early stage support ecosystem needs. It is a first of its kind concept and when TiE people are behind it then that means its going to being really kickass.
I first read your blog when we were doing a Indian telecom regulation related project at my firm. I must say that the blog is cutting edge and i would like your insights over a lot of things that i ponder upon,majorly audio codecs and application wiki's these days.
As far as the TiE blog entry, well it seems like a incubation platform where projects would be judged on a qualitative and economic viability basis.This gives me an idea of application wiki's that acts as a cross platform inside research firms and facilities nonwithstanding their size and scope.Any comments(This would include applications like MovableType, Sctuff and Confluence)??
I used to delve deep in codecs quite a while ago but not now so I might not be able to discuss in details like whether a codec is better because it has DCT or KLT in it but yeah sure I can talk about these things at a high level.
Sure let me know what exact topics you would like me to discuss and i will blog about it.
Yeah TiE EAP is an incubation program but they will for sure arrange for seed funding as well which is way too hard to obtain in India but is necessary for an Entrepreneurial ecosystem to build up.

Trump endorses raising minimum age to 21 for more weapons

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday endorsed a higher minimum age for buying certain firearms and tighter background checks, saying "there's nothing more important than protecting our children," amid a public outcry for action after the Florida school shooting.
Trump said he spoke Wednesday night with many members of Congress and "they're into background checks." The president commented as he opened a school safety discussion at the White House with state and local officials from around the country.
Early Thursday, Trump tweeted his strongest stance on gun control one day after an emotional White House session where students and parents poured out wrenching tales of lost lives and pleaded for action.

More: President Trump suggests Florida school shooting suspect was mentally disturbed
I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health. Raise age to 21 and end sale of Bump Stocks! Congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue - I hope!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 22, 2018
Trump's focus on gun violence came as leaders of the National Rifle Association offered a vigorous defense of gun rights during the Conservative Political Action Conference, urging enhanced — and armed — security at schools.
"Evil walks among us and God help us if we don't harden our schools and protect our kids," said NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre. "The whole idea from some of our opponents that armed security makes us less safe is completely ridiculous."
The NRA officials didn't address whether the federal government should raise the age limit for young adults to buy weapons, accusing Democrats and media outlets of exploiting the Florida shooting.
"Many in legacy media love mass shootings, you guys love it," said NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch at CPAC. "Now I'm not saying that you love the tragedy, but I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold."
The current federal minimum age for buying or possessing handguns is 21, but the limit is 18 for rifles including assault-type weapons such as the AR-15 used by a former student in last week's attack on a Florida high school that killed 17 students and staff members.
A White House official said the president was not endorsing or ruling out any specific policy.

More: Trump to visit Florida, likely meeting survivors, parents
In another tweet, Trump repeated his urgent call for trained teachers or others in schools to carry guns as a deterrent to attacks.
....If a potential "sicko shooter" knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won't go there...problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won't work!
He has previously expressed an interest in efforts to strengthen the federal background check system. It was not clear if he would back closing loopholes that permit loose private sales on the internet and at gun shows.
The National Rifle Associated on Wednesday quickly rejected any talk of raising the age for buying long guns to 21.
"Legislative proposals that prevent law-abiding adults aged 18-20 years old from acquiring rifles and shotguns effectively prohibits them for purchasing any firearm, thus depriving them of their constitutional right to self-protection," the group said in a statement.
Trump, despite his new push for at least some gun-control changes, stressed his backing for the NRA on Thursday, tweeting that "the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Speaking at CPAC, Vice President Mike Pence said that in a meeting with governors at the White House next Monday, Trump and the state leaders will "make the safety of our nation's schools and our students our top national priority."
On Wednesday, Trump listened intently at the White House as students described the horror of the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida. The students and their parents appealed to him to press for stricter gun controls.
"I turned 18 the day after" the shooting, said tearful student Samuel Zeif. "Woke up to the news that my best friend was gone. And I don't understand why I can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. An AR. How is it that easy to buy this type of weapon? How do we not stop this after Columbine? After Sandy Hook?"
Trump promised to be "very strong on background checks." And he indicated he supported allowing some teachers and other school employees to carry concealed weapons to be ready for intruders.
The president had invited the teen survivors of school violence and parents of murdered children in a show of his resolve against gun violence in the wake of last week's shootings in Florida and in past years at schools in Connecticut and Colorado.
Trump asked his guests to suggest solutions and solicited feedback. He did not fully endorse any specific policy solution, but pledged to take action and expressed interest in widely differing approaches.
He largely listened, holding handwritten notes bearing his message to the families. "I hear you" was written in black marker.
Besides considering concealed carrying of weapons by trained school employees, a concept he has endorsed in the past, he said he planned to go "very strongly into age, age of purchase." And he said he was committed to improving background checks and working on mental health.
Most in the group Wednesday were emotional but quiet and polite.
But Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed last week, noted the previous school massacres and raged over his loss, saying this moment isn't about gun laws but about fixing the schools.
"It should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it and I'm pissed. Because my daughter, I'm not going to see again," said Pollack. "King David Cemetery, that is where I go to see my kid now."
A strong supporter of gun rights, Trump has nonetheless indicated in recent days that he is willing to consider ideas not in keeping with National Rifle Association orthodoxy, including age restrictions for buying assault-type weapons. Still, gun owners are a key part of his base of supporters.
The people assembled for the White House meeting on Wednesday included parents of students killed in massacres at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Students and parents from the Washington area also were present.
Trump later tweeted that he would "always remember" the meeting. "So much love in the midst of so much pain. We must not let them down. We must keep our children safe!!"

The next few weeks offers races for seniors, trail blazers, super heroes and appetites for fair donuts.
In two more attempted sleeps in this freakin' heat, Tubster's Little Dunkers will be handing over the goods.
That's right, the Maple Ridge-based company that's passionate about people, circus themes and delicious food, will be at the 146th Chilliwack Fair this weekend to present their fresh mini donuts to finishers in Saturday's inaugural Chilliwack Fair Donut Dash 4K and 8K.
The 8K starts at 9:30 a.m., and the 4K goes three minutes later. Each participant will receive a fun finisher's medal and post-race snacks. There's also a fun beer/root beer maze on the grounds, too.
The event is part of the 2018 Try Events race series, which also includes the Rubber Ducky Half (Oct. 21), the RMHBC Boundary Bay runs (Nov. 4) and Vancouver Historic Half (Nov. 25).

Baxter Bayer, the brains and high-octane energy behind the Vancouver-based Running Tours Inc., asked this blogger last December if I had any ideas for a new fun run.
I suggested something ALL downhill, with chocolate chip cookie stations every 1K, and his soon-to-be-wife Jana Nakrieko handing out new runners and sweet swag at the finish line to a deserving runner (hi Mom!) who can't get this happy ending at his much-more-budget-conscious home!
Up until a week or two ago, scribbling a spare time running blog seemed to be a super way to relax after a long night of intense newspaper deadlines, but you leave one name out and boom!
After Bayer asked how long I played football without a helmet, and steered the brain-storming session back toward reality, we settled on a costumed, superhero run/walk at Middle Arm Trail in Richmond. The idea was pretty simple, but he executed this caper to another level and the inaugural fun event promises to be, well, just super!
Along with cool costumes for participants, a virtual run component and boosting awareness and appreciation for B.C.'s first responders and TEMA, this event also offers marvel-lous medals, music and munchies.
With mild inclines, paved trails and gravel tracks, the route is suitable for all ages and abilities. Leashed dogs and strollers are welcome. Bloggers with very old runners are allowed, too.

This is Race No. 5 in Kaitlyn Rowsom's trail run series, that included stops at Rose Park, Inter River Park, Ambleside Park and the toughest race I've ever gutted out — her April adventure at Pacific Spirit Park.
The 10K starts at 8:30 a.m., and the 5K rolls 10 minutes later. Both races start and finish at Swangard Stadium and the course goes through the beautiful forest trails of Central Park.
This is the fourth annual run/walk for those 55 years of age and older, and second being hosted by the good folks at the iconic Oval.
Designed to celebrate active seniors and for them to gain recognition for their commitment to fitness, the FY8K is an event that showcases some of the country's fastest and most mobile seniors.
The race will start on the Olympic Riverside Plaza — north side of the Oval — and the course is an out-and-back stretch of compact gravel on the North Dike.
A bottle of B.C. wine will be awarded to the first-place finisher in each age category and each participant will receive a technical shirt and finisher's medal.
My 72-year-old father-in-law, Dennis Hill, a special guest of John Young at his Forever Young Club's year-end brunch three years ago in Richmond, left that fun gathering inspired and motivated to get in shape and be a part of the FY8K. Proud to say he has lost 60-plus pounds since January and will be taking part in his first FY8K next month. Will be a memorable morning.
FINISH LINES: On Monday, Aug. 13, there will be an Under Armour Eastside 10K Pacer Run, hosted by East Van Run Crew and Canada Running Series West. The public run, which starts at 6:30 p.m. from Greater Vancouver Food Bank (1150 Raymur Ave.), will feature small sections of the Sept. 15 event's new 10K course. To help launch the GVFB fundraising, runners are asked to bring a small donation or non-perishable food items (canned black beans/kidney beans/chickpeas, canned chicken/fish/turkey, brown rice and whole wheat pasta are the most desirable). You can meet the rest of the pacers for the awesome Eastside 10K by clicking HERE.

Q: Ruby on Rails (Redmine) on Apache - 503 Error I am running a Ruby on Rails application called Redmine. It's been working fine, but today it's giving a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error. (It was initially set up by an employee who is now gone.)
I check the error log and it says:
[Mon Nov 21 11:03:30 2011] [error] (111)Connection refused: proxy: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:3000 (127.0.0.1) failed
[Mon Nov 21 11:03:30 2011] [error] ap_proxy_connect_backend disabling worker for (127.0.0.1)

Here's a chunk of my Apache config
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName redmine.{domain}.com
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://redminecluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>

<Proxy balancer://redminecluster>
  BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:3000
</Proxy>

I found this link: http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/20561 which suggests I simply need to "start the redmine server." I've tried /etc/init.d/redmine start which gives me this output
=> Booting Mongrel
=> Rails 2.3.11 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000

The contents of /etc/init.d/redmine:
cd /var/redmine
sudo ruby script/server -d -e production

One thing I immediately notice is that it says 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1. In addition, running top or ps -ef shows no record of a "mongrel" or "redmine" process. I've also tried restarting Apache before and after starting redmine. Not sure where to go from here.

A: Ok I figured it out, thanks to jgoldschrafe. I tried netstat -ptan and found that there was no Mongrel process running on port 3000 as there should have been, indicating that /etc/init.d/redmine was failing. Indeed, I removed the -d (debug) flag and found that there was a large error backtrace regarding a plugin that was installed recently. I removed the plugin and all is well now.
