A new reality star is born!
Kourtney Kardashian and boyfriend Scott Disick have welcomed their second child, a daughter named Penelope Scotland Disick, born early Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, reports E! News.
"Scott and I are overjoyed to welcome our precious angel Penelope Scotland Disick into our lives. We are forever blessed. Mommy and baby are resting comfortably," the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star – who, with Disick, is already parent to 2½-year-old son Mason – told E! News.
Their new arrival weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz., and was delivered via all-natural birth, according to the report.
"It was a great. She had an easy delivery," matriarch Kris Jenner told E! "[Penelope] is so cute. She looks just like Mason. She's so beautiful. We are so happy."
On Monday, sister Kim shared her elation on her blog, writing, "The whole family is so thrilled to finally meet her! She is absolutely perfect! I am so excited to be an aunt again and can't wait to spoil little Penelope. I know Mason is going to be the best big brother in the whole world."
And her sister, Khloé followed suit: "I'm an auntie again!!!!!!!!!! As I'm sure you all know, my beautiful big sister gave birth yesterday to the most perfect baby girl you've EVER seen," she wrote on her blog. "The entire family is literally exploding with joy and have not stopped fawning over our new little girl. And Mason is already loving being a big brother! This is just such a special and happy time for my family."
Describing her pregnancy with Penelope, Kardashian, 33, told PEOPLE in April: "I feel really good ... [though] this time I had a little more morning sickness. I think it's a little bit harder being pregnant when you have a toddler I'm chasing after. Last time I could nap more."

Lent is a time of introspection as Christians prepare for Easter.
Many churches hold weekly periods of Bible study to help believers through the 40-day period of reflection on their lives and the life of Jesus.
About 12 years ago, musician Asa Carns considered another way for Christians to take some time out of their day to consider what God means to them.
He began organizing musical programs called the Lenten Box Bach Series that are held during the noon hour on Wednesdays during the Lenten season.
Through the years, the series has moved twice with Providence Presbyterian Church, 2401 Broad St., serving as host for the first time this year.
Each concert will begin with a devotional and prayer led by the Rev. Dennis Braun, pastor at Providence.
Fact Box
If you go
The Lenten Box Bach Concert Series will be held at 12:15 p.m. Wednesdays at Providence Presbyterian Church, 2401 Broad Ave.
The concerts are:
Feb. 20 - Asa W. Carns, piano and organ.
Feb. 27 - Leslie Beers with Suzuki Friends.
March 6 - Duets by Betty Wingert, piano, and Asa W. Carns, organ.
March 13 - Jim White, baritone.
March 20 - Judy Moore, flute.
March 27 - Ginger Reinhardt, soprano.
The service is open to all faith traditions and listeners are invited to silently read Scripture from the Bibles in the pews or perhaps using the church hymnal to follow the words of a song being presented.
Carns of Clearfield believes it is important to continue the series because of the responses he and other musicians receive.
Sometimes people are so moved by the music, they cannot speak after a concert, he said.
"You touch them," Carns said. "That's what it is all about."
The idea for the series began about 20 years ago when Carns was talking with a clergy friend about giving up something for Lent.
He said he realized he could give up his time and help people on their faith journey through the lunch hour concerts.
Although food was available through a restaurant or church support during past concerts, Providence will not provide a means to receive a meal.
Carns said people may bring a lunch and eat it in the social hall, outside the sanctuary.
A moveable wall separating the two areas will be lifted so people can dine and enjoy the music.
The lineup of musicians for this year's series include children playing violins,vocalists and a flutist.
Carns will perform in three of the concerts.
He will begin the series on Wednesday with piano and organ meditations, team up with pianist Betty Wingert on March 6 and join baritone Jim White on March 13. Rounding out the series are Leslie Beers with Suzuki Friends (children playing violins) on Feb. 27, Judy Moore on flute on March 20 and soprano Ginger Reinhardt on March 27.
White and Carns have known each other since 1994, when Carns was accompanist for the State College Choral Society and the Pennsylvania Chamber Chorale. White is a member of both groups.
Through the years, they would perform at Christmas Eve services here and there, White said.
About five years ago, they began performing together under the name Jimasa and were part of the entertainment at a Pennsylvania Pink Zone fashion show in October to help the Penn State Lady Lions raise money to fight breast cancer.
White, who teaches voice and "Intro to Western Art Music" at Penn State Altoona, said he has been singing at the Lenten concerts for about 10 years.
He will perform new melodies to traditional hymns when he sings at Providence, including "Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go," arranged by John Ness Beck.
White said listeners have told him that the music helps them focus on spiritual and sacred thoughts.
"People say, 'What you and Asa did helps us to sense God's presence in our journey through Lent,'" White said.
Carns also will do a concert with Betty Wingert of Luthersburg.
Wingert, who is the organist at First Presbyterian Church in DuBois, said she enjoys doing concerts with Carns.
She originally studied under Carns years ago to sharpen her playing skills.
Carns said they will perform a "symphony of spirituals" during their concert.
He said they will play "Go Down Moses" with the organ and piano exchanging the melody throughout the piece.
Carns said he tries to present experiences that listeners would not necessarily hear on a Sunday during the concerts.
He said people might recognized the title of a piece, but the arrangement might be one they have never heard before.
For his solo concert, he has chosen songs of his faith, ones that express what he is all about.
"It will be music from my soul to theirs," he said.

Today is better. It took a while but I clawed my way out and probably the iced latte helped, which is tricky because I avoid caffeine when I'm anxious but it helps when I'm depressed. Right now I'm good. I'm praying that I'll feel even more relaxed on the plane. How embarrassing if my skin doesn't fit and my feelings don't feel right in front of Jeff's clients and co-workers. That's what's tripping me up but thankfully he's my stabilizer and if I'm with him, I'm okay.
I'd like it to be on the record that I actually like everything I've packed to wear and feel happy about it all, without the need to shop for anything new.
I was dreading being apart from the kids but after today and all the yelling and screaming (them, not me, for once) I can say I am so very ready. As I was preparing Ivy again for my being gone, she burst into tears and I said "It's okay, you'll have so much fun!" and she said she was crying because she couldn't go to Grandma's RIGHT NOW.
We all desperately need this time out. It was super quiet while I've been writing here and then Gray shrieked up the stairs because Ivy bit him on the arm. It's only a little mark. He will live.

quote: Tesla knows how to take advantage of the electric drivetrain to the fullest. Along with the advantages you mention, the Model X will have an unparalleled center of gravity for an SUV, gobs more room than a Cayenne/X5/X6/Q7 due to the frunk and lack of a drivetrain tunnel, and save $2k+/yr in gas.
quote: It's going to set a new bar for luxury/sport SUVs.
quote: A tesla with an 85 kW/h battery can get you about 30 miles in "real world conditions", and that's likely on the high side...but let's say it is.
quote: Sets a new bar for failure.
quote: 250 full charges at $12.75 per charge is $3,187.50.Nice job. You avoided paying $2K/yr in gas so you could pay $3.2K per year in increased electrical bills.
quote: From your link that you obviously didn't read:The total range -- adding the unused 4 miles, would be 238. Yes, 238 is 11 percent short of 265. Moreover, it was done while being very stingy with performance (for the most part). Is that 265 actually valid? If you drive predominately at highway speeds, then probably not. But were we to have included more medium-speed roads (long stretches at 45-50 mph) well, possibly.
quote: Why do you keep saying this? I could go on and on. Nobody has ever got only 30 miles on a full charge in a Model S.
quote: 250 full charges? That's at least 50,000 miles on a Model S. Using your own 15 MPG figure for the SUV, that's $13,333 in gas to go the same distance.
quote: It's hilarious that you're completely oblivious to how dumb you made yourself look with your posts here.
quote: You link to a best-case scenario test, where the car is driven at relatively low speeds constantly to see what the maximum possible range could be.
quote: I was planning to drive fast, from 70 to 75 mph along the Interstates that made up most of the route. The terrain was hilly. There would be a prevailing headwind. And the advancing fall season promised cooler temperatures.All of these factors would eat into range.
quote: 50K miles? LOLOL wow, too much stupid contained here.
quote: Really? You're still defending your laughable claim of 30 miles range from 85kWh? In what way does anything you quoted suggest that? It'll fall to 240, maybe 220 miles, not 30.
quote: Learn how to read. They got 234 miles WITHOUT much 50-mph driving. It was mostly highway, "cruise control set at 65 mph". They were talking about how to achieve 265 in your quote.
quote: And why did you ignore the second link?
quote: Even then, 168 miles from less than 50kWh. That's over 9x the efficiency of your BS claim.
quote: Figures you'd say that, given that you have the math skills of a 2 year old.
quote: Let me break it down for you: 250 full charges * 200 miles at least per full charge (well below the 265 mile rating and every real world test out there) equals 50,000 miles.
quote: Even Reclaimer, who doesn't agree with me on anything, agrees that you're embarrassingly wrong.
quote: Eric, you claim to not like MotorTrend, yet you looked only at that link when I gave you another one of someone who drove 168 miles at 70-75 mph in real world hilly areas using 50kWh of electricity. That's 3.3 miles per kWh.
quote: You claim 30 miles using 85 kWh, i.e. 0.35 miles per kWh. That's one ninth real world measurements.
quote: Even if you were right about slower speed, why don't you explain to me what physics justify a 9x difference in efficiency? Tesla's website notes 55mph for their 300 mile range figure, not 265 or 234. 65-80mph does not need 10x the energy of 55mph, you halfwit.
quote: Misuse the word efficiency? Do I need to link you to the dictionary now? How is miles per kWh not a measure of efficiency?
quote: The battery is temperature controlled, so there is no range degradation from road heat or surrounding vehicles LOL.
quote: You picked a fight with the wrong guy. I'm a Caltech electrical engineering PhD, and my work was even featured in an article here on DT. You clearly are just some poser with no real understanding of engineering or math.
quote: I give links because my facts are based on data. Yours are based on nonsense you conjure in that useless head of yours with no basis in reality.
quote: You're a complete dunce. I won't waste any more time on you.
quote: This is pretty funny because you fail to acknowledge the fact that air resistance increases exponentially with speed. If you only needed 20 HP to keep the car moving at 60 MPH, and you wanted to go 80 MPH, you would need ~40 HP. You're effectively doubling the power required for only a modest increase in speed due to the way air resistance scales.
quote: While you may be saying "that's not 10x", because you are stupid and fail to accept the fact that as load on batteries increases their AVAILABLE capacity falls. Which means that cruising at 55 MPH may yield a full 85 kW/h worth of power from the batteries, however more than doubling the power drawn by going just 75 MPH means your effective capacity will fall by several kW/h - i.e. the battery depletes at a faster rate.
quote: Aerodynamic drag only makes up about half of the total resistance at 60 MPH in most vehicles with the rest coming from rolling resistance so by my calculation going from 60 to 80 MPH should consume about 39% more power or from 20 HP at 60 MPH to 28 at 80. Considering the Tesla's very low coefficient of aerodynamic drag and weight it is likely to be less than half of total resistance at 60 MPH making the HP requirement at 80 some what less than 28.
quote: Lithium batteries don't have the high internal impedance of some of the older chemistries. In fact some lithium chemistries have 1/40,000 the internal impedance of lead acid AGM's for instance. Kokam quoted a 97% charge recovery at 0.3C charge discharge rate for some of their cells.
quote: Available capacity won't decline by anywhere near as much as you imagine. Even in the most demanding condition of say successive sprints to 60 MPH.
quote: Initial power demand from stand still would be very low and would rise linearly up to peak power before going into decline. Considering the Tesla's top speed it might not even see peak power before it reaches 60 MPH.
quote: If we say it does then average draw would be around half of peak. At peak power we would be talking about a 3C discharge rate so on average about 1.5C in the sprint.
quote: I know there are some big flaws in the derivation but in the absence of some better figures it gives an idea of what sort of numbers we are talking about. At a normal cruse of say 60 MPH the discharge rate would be less than 0.2C and at 80 it would still be less than 0.25C.
quote: This is incorrect. As per my example, which is an EXAMPLE to illustrate the exponential increase in air resistance vs speed, if you know how much power it takes to move at a certain speed then you are already accounting for the coefficient of drag. The increase in power would be about the same percentage-wise regardless of the CD, the only difference being that a lower CD would mean less power for a given speed. So your calculation of a 39% power increase is off by a lot.The model S is not light by any stretch of the imagination; it's a 2-ton porker of a car. Granted there are other luxury sedans tipping the scale near or north of 4,000 lbs - Audi A5 comes to mind - but the Audi has an AWD system which the tesla does not.
quote: Tesla uses lithium ion batteries, not the more powerful (and lighter) lithium polymer, likely due to the latter being even less stable than the former, and for that particular battery type 4C is pretty much the upper threshold of discharge that you'd want to subject the cells to.
quote: You're missing a key point that you yourself were quick to point out in your first response - electric motors have full torque from 0 RPM. While a motor at 0 RPM is not producing any power, that does not mean it is not consuming energy. When you floor the accelerator in an electric car, the load will be at or near the full capacity of the system.In the case of the tesla, that means 850+ amps will be drawn from the battery under full throttle, from start and this will taper off as the car slows its acceleration.
quote: No, not really. There relationship between output power and input power is quite rigid. You cannot draw less power from the battery and have the motor put out its full rated 310 kW of power. For the motor to put out 310 kW, it will draw MORE than 310 kW from the inverter, which draws from the battery...this works out to about 4C as explained above.
quote: While the motor is drawing full power from the battery and the car is at a stop, that is 0% efficiency.
quote: The reality of the situation is that right now electric cars are expensive and inferior to their gasoline counterparts.
quote: When characterizing a vehicles drag you cannot disregard the vehicles rolling resistance
quote: You misunderstood my reference to the model S weight. Because the car is heavy and has a low Cd I thought rolling resistance would make up a much larger portion of total drag at 60 MPH.
quote: Total power consumed at 55MPH according to Tesla's figures is 14.6 kW so if we assume the remainder is solely due to rolling resistance Prr=8.9kW. If we assumed 85% efficiency in the drive...
quote: Gasoline contains about 33.6 kWh per gallon. That means the Tesla pack contain the energy equivalent of 2.5 gallons of gasoline. Any way you look at it it is very efficient at converting that energy to miles.
quote: The key parameter they need to stay below is the core temperature of the cells....Shallower thermal cycling should help cell longevity.
quote: The motor controller acts a bit like a transformer while the controller will always see full battery pack voltage on its input side it will chop the voltage on its output side and even when it is pushing its current limit on its output side its input current will be lower.
quote: It will not draw the full 850+ amps from the battery from the start. Initial amps on the battery side of the controller will be much lower.
quote: You're talking peaks I'm talking averages. I'm saying that peak power won't be drawn continuously.
quote: For about a millisecond. While an ICE is idling that is 0% efficient for much much longer. 0% efficiency at 0 RPM doesn't tell us a lot about what power will be consumed at that point on the curve.
quote: Expensive yes I don't disagree, inferior or not depends on your use case, on what you are hoping to achieve.
quote: Drag is an aerodynamic effect; rolling resistance is a separate thing, and it's effects on the net friction that the vehicle must overcome to accelerate and move is not substantial. You are driving this conversation off topic by fixating on minutia.
quote: No, I didn't misunderstand you. The fact that the car is heavy contributes to its inefficiency. Rolling resistance is largely a factor of the tires - their width and their inflation pressure.
quote: You've already made two 'questionable' assumptions in an effort to make the numbers look "good" or seem right...but lets' examine this with your figures.
quote: Going by what you cite as Tesla's 14.6 kW (20 HP) figure to sustain 55 MPH, we can simply scale up the power required for higher speeds, because:Power:= Work/Time= Force x Distance/Time= Force x VelocityAir resistance is proportional to the square of the speed, and going from 55 to 80 MPH is a 25 MPH increase, or a 1.46 increase in velocity.We square 1.46 to get 2.13, which is the new force.
quote: 14.6 kW x 1.46 x 2.13 = 45.4 kWSo to drive your model S at 80 MPH using your 14.6 kW @ 55 MPH figure, it takes 45.4 kW or 60 HP - your results are off by quite a bit...at this rate your effective range will be around 150 miles, because remember, 45 kW of engine output will draw MORE than 45 kW from the batteries.Like I said before, if you know how much power it takes to go a certain speed, you can figure out how much more (or less) you would need for a change in velocity using some very basic math.
quote: Stepping up the voltage costs efficiency. I do not know what the operating voltage of the model S inverter happens to be, however I am well aware that it regulates its output voltage which is how it controls engine speed.
quote: When I launch a car, I rev the engine up to a specific RPM and drop the clutch. The engine will stay at or near the launch RPM and then increase. There is nothing that says I cannot launch the car AT the redline if my tires have enough traction, thus having the engine producing almost all of its power AND torque from a stop.
quote: The key point is that the batteries will be discharging at 850A or more when the drive program allows 'full power'...and it will be close to full power from a stop if you floor it and have the car in "performance mode".
quote: False. The idling engine is producing torque and therefore power. Simply because the car is not moving does not mean efficiency is 0%.
quote: 0% efficiency means that the electric motor is drawing current but not moving, and since it is not moving it is not producing power so efficiency is 0%. When the motor draws current and does not move, the energy radiates as heat. It is not a difficult concept to fathom, even though it is only for a brief moment.
quote: Tesla is trying to achieve an electric car that replaces gasoline cars, and that's just not happening. It takes too long to charge vs filling up with fuel, using the A/C can have a big impact on range, as can loading the car up with passengers and cargo. Reliability is also in question, and there are already plenty of reports from owners who have experienced problems like the car completely shutting off (while being driven) and being unable to start.
quote: Really, well all those poor fools buying low rolling resistance tires are just wasting their money then.
quote: The energy consumption of a vehicle virtually all comes back to two factors. Weight and aero drag. First you say weight will make a car inefficient then you totally disregard it in this calculation. So which is it, is weight in or is it out. Does weight generate a drag force which must be overcome or can we say its basically zero so we can just ignore it.
quote: A bit too basic unfortunately. It seems to have escaped your attention that aero drag scales with the cubic function of velocity when it comes to power requirements and including all the drag that doesn't scale will dramatically exaggerate your figures.
quote: I told you exactly what the aero drag power requirements were at 55 MPH yet you choose to ignore that and generate more nonsense. If I apply a bit of reducto ad absurdum to your argument that all drag is aero drag and therefore scales to the square function of velocity then at zero velocity the car would exist in a frictionless state with only its inertia to resist motion if on a level surface. You would have no trouble pushing a 4700lb car with your pinky finger. It only takes a small force and a bit of time to overcome inertia.
quote: Actually I've been trying to tell you that it regulates its output amperage and it controls motor torque not speed. EV's would be hard to drive if the motor controller and accelerator position regulated motor speed.
quote: EV's don't work that way. The power provided at a full throttle launch will ramp from some initial value required to overcome losses up to peak power at peak power RPM and speed.
quote: Wrong. Peak amps is only drawn from the battery at peak power. Peak power occurs around 7000RPM. Peak torque is a band from 0 to7000 RPM. 7000 RPM by my calculation would occur around 57 MPH. Don't forget EV's control torque. You don't get "full power" but full torque when you floor it.
quote: And that idling torque is totally consumed internally overcoming pumping losses and bearing friction.
quote: Actually I was thinking more about what their customers were hoping to achieve. Personally I would like to get off blood oil.
quote: I didn't disregard weight.
quote: Weight has already been accounted for by the baseline value, which I scaled.
quote: It's really very simple and I'll repeat it for you: if we know how much power it takes for a vehicle to move at a certain speed on a level surface, we can use a simple scaling formula to ascertain the power required at higher or lower speeds.
quote: False. The primary resisting force is aerodynamic drag. Again, your fixation on minutia in an effort to obfuscate the real point only makes you look like someone who can't accept that they were wrong.
quote: Verbal diarrhea is not the mark of someone who knows what they're talking about. You seem to be sliding into a pit of repetition peppered with stupidity. Next thing we'll have you telling us that climate change affects the Tesla's efficiency because vegetable.
quote: That's incorrect. It uses a PWM type of speed control, which limits voltage. Current limiting is an automatic result of pulsing the drive voltage at lower frequencies when the car is moving at lower speeds, and higher frequencies when the car is moving faster. The pwm system allows for "real time" feedback on what the engine is doing and allows its performance and response to be tuned.
quote: If you were to simply make a direct "always on" connection to the motor from the inverter, the car would probably have trouble gaining traction.
quote: FYI direct current limiting causes the excess current to be bled off as heat. That would be a very inefficient method of regulating the engine speed...and incidentally it's why tesla uses a PWM speed control. And yes, it's called a SPEED CONTROL not a torque control.
quote: I'm quite aware of the differences; but you've cleverly managed to miss my point yet again. The point I was making, is that while electric cars may have "full torque" from 0 RPM, launching a gasoline car from a stop can be done in such a way that you have nearly full power and torque from a stop. It's called launching for a reason.
quote: Since the inverter regulates the motor using a PWM type of system, full throttle doesn't equal a full-on connection between the motor and power source. The entire powerband is regulated, and that means the power is always pulsed, i.e. on and off.
quote: The problem with people like you is that you believe you know what you're talking about but don't. Do you think that the motor spinning at 7,000 RPM in free air (no load) will draw the same current as it would pushing the weight of the car down a drag strip (full load)?
quote: Please shut up about your idiotic and incorrect calculations and moronic theories about how electric motor drive systems work. You really do not know what you are talking about here and it's just getting tedious repeating myself.
quote: The amount of power consumed by the belt driven accessories is minimal at idle. Torque is not consumed; it is transferred.
quote: Oh yes you did. I for one happen to understand that zero squared is still zero.
quote: Yes but you than scale it with total disregard of weight solely as a function of speed.
quote: Repeating the same flawed argument over and over again doesn't make it correct.
quote: I don't accept I'm wrong because I'm not and I have proved it. Minutia it's not. Have you ever tried to push a 4700lb vehicle?
quote: Who said anything about current limiting with an additional load? The Back EMF of the motor and the resistance of the windings can be used to control the current if you chop the voltage accordingly. I find it really hard to believe that you think you cannot control the torque output of a motor. Really?
quote: I didn't miss the point. The point was redundant. Just because you can have full power and massive torque and convert your tires to smoke at launch doesn't mean that EV's must have full power available at launch. They don't and they don't need to unless the objective is to make lots of expensive smoke.
quote: When you get abusive do people pay more attention to what you say? Does it improve your credibility?
quote: When a system is in equilibrium, i.e. idling at a constant RPM, any torque produced by the engine must be matched by an equal and opposite torque or the engine would not be in a state of equilibrium and would either be accelerating or decelerating. When the drive is disengaged that torque will be predominantly internal losses. Physics 101. I'd be interested to hear your take on where that torque is being transferred to.
quote: If you are calculating the approximate power required for a car to move at a certain speed without knowing the power required to move at ANY speed in the first place, then weight would be part of that equation...but since we already knew how much power it takes to move the car at a given speed, weight has already been factored, and therefore we can scale power, as I did. Not sure how many times I have to repeat this until you get it.
quote: so get over it and learn some basic math while you're at it.
quote: quote:Minutia it's not. Have you ever tried to push a 4700lb vehicle?
quote: Oh that's a new one - you restate things I've said and then try to present it as what you've been saying all along. LOL Nice job, but you are still not grasping the basic functions of an electric motor and its respective speed controller.
quote: In an EV we don't want to control the speed of the motor but the torque it puts out. If the accelerator position controlled speed the vehicle would be very difficult to drive. Hence the motor controller manipulates the current by manipulating the voltage but the voltage doesn't bear any direct relationship to the accelerator position. None of this is in disagreement with what you have said I'm just trying to add a different perspective. As for load when you encounter a hill the driver must adjust the accelerator pedal to maintain speed (as you currently do in your ICE powered car) increasing the current to maintain the voltage.
quote: Actually it's not redundant, because it completely shatters the whole "full torque from zero RPM" line that the ignorant EV humpers cite as a major benefit of electric motors over gasoline engines...apparently they don't know how to launch a gasoline car to maximize its acceleration and assume that all acceleration happens off-idle...and if you launch correctly your tires will hook and you will accelerate quite nicely.
quote: I'm hardly being abusive...maybe you're just too whiny and thin-skinned.
quote: You probably spent hours writing this statement, even soliciting your asian friends for help, only to end up "not getting it".Your previous statement attempted to portray the engine accessories as requiring all or most of the torque of the engine at idle - which is false. The power steering pump, the water pump, alternator and A/C unit combined place a relatively minor parasitic load on the engine, whether it's idling or at its redline.Yes, I'm sure you thought you are brilliant for pointing out newton's 3rd law, but that is obvious that was never in question or in doubt.Torque is a force, so it is transferred rotationally along an axis. It is not "consumed". Power is consumed, and power is torque x RPM.
quote: An axle spinning at a certain RPM being driven with a fixed amount of torque can continue turning so long as the load placed on the axle does not exceed the amount of torque which is driving it...however if you increase the load on the axle without increasing the torque, the RPM will decline. Get it? That is power being consumed - the torque does not change.Go back to school.
quote: Because weight doesn't change with speed, the drag force due to weight doesn't change with speed.
quote: Therefore the power consumed due to weight scales linearly with velocity or is proportional to mass times velocity.
quote: The drag force due to aero drag scales with the square of velocity. Therefore the power consumed due to velocity (aero drag) scales with the cube of speed or is proportional to velocity cubed.
quote: Adding the results of the linear function and the cube function creates a third function in which mass and velocity still feature separately. That third function is NOT proportional to the square of speed. Mass times velocity is NOT a constant and so cannot be factored out along with the other constants when figuring out proportionality. I'm not wrong about this.
quote: That went straight over your head. The Tesla's weight and tires will result in a rolling resistance of 56lb force. If you think that is insignificant to the point of being practically zero when compared to aero drag then what else can I say. Either you can't understand or you won't understand and neither of these makes you look good.
quote: An EV is not like one of your model aircraft and the correct terminology is Motor controller specifically so people like you won't become confused. I posted this on the 4/16/2014 in this thread so it is what I have been saying all long.
quote: The advantage of full torque from zero is not having to have a clutch (or torque converter).The advantage is not having to have a clutch. It's a mechanical simplification.
quote: In the case of Tesla the range of the motor is so broad that it also doesn't need a gearbox and can make do with a single reduction ratio. A further mechanical simplification. The net result of this is lower weight better reliability and reduced cost.
quote: So if torque is not consumed and power is consumed and power is torque x RPM then really it is just RPM that is being consumed?? LOL. You're funny.
quote: All that and you still haven't said were torque in an idling engine is being transferred to.
quote: How does it feel Eric being bested by a "dim-witted buffoon". Nothing in this world is free Eric not even cheap shots.
quote: We're not talking about economics, skippy, the point was that electric power generation is inherently inefficient...and the fact that you totally veered off topic is basically you conceding that I PWNED your pathetic liberal arguments in favor of electric cars.
quote: While an electric motor does a great job of converting electrical energy into mechanical work, when you consider the fact that the the fuel consumed to generate said electricity is far greater than the energy wasted by gasoline and diesel engines as heat, we can clearly see the SCAM that is being perpetuated by the whole "green energy" political agenda.
quote: It all fits into the broader left-wing agenda of deception, the notion that "climate change" is caused by human activity and supported by dim-witted buffoons like yourself, who fail to realize that being educated today is more of a liability than an asset.
quote: I just find efficiency of generation secondary to anything that has real world effects.
quote: So efficiency should really only be considered within a single fuel type unless you apply some sort of compensating factor.
quote: By the way you did bring up energy independence in your side bar. Electric car = 100% US sourced energy, ICE age car = 30% US sourced energy, 70% imported energy. +1 for the EV
quote: Like I said where I live 70% hydroelectric generation. No fuel consumed there just falling water. Most of this generating capacity was built prior to environmentalism becoming fashionable. No green agenda involved. No tax breaks for EV's here either.
quote: Oh WOW, just WOW. So education and the educated are the enemy. I guess that means ignorance is an asset.
quote: Abusive name calling and personal attacks add nothing to the debate and really only serves to depreciate your cause.
quote: People usually resort to this behavior because they have lost the rational argument and are basically trying to create an emotional fist fight where they try to wound with words rather than admitting defeat.
quote: When you start calling me a dim-witted buffoon for occupying a position I haven't well that shot misses the mark by a mile. While I can admire a never say die atitude I do read these outbursts as victory.
quote: You have to exclude the inconvenient fact that electricity generation is inherently inefficient
quote: Efficiency is not an end in itself but a means to another end. Its good EV's are efficient because their batteries can be smaller and because they use electricity that someone has to pay for but that is where it stops at the plug.
quote: Thank you for playing.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
A key focus of cancer research is the identification of "driver" mutations behind tumorogenesis/metastasis. Daniel Schramek, Ph.D., and colleagues, working at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Rockefeller University, along with scientists at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and at University of Chicago report in the January 17 issue of Science in a paper titled "Direct in Vivo RNAi Screen Unveils Myosin IIa as a Tumor Suppressor of Squamous Cell Carcinomas" that they used a direct in vivo RNA interference (RNAi) strategy to find several genes not previously linked to tumor development that nonetheless predispose mice to cancer.
The authors note that prior approaches to identifying driver genes to functionally test putative "driver mutations" that confer a selective advantage and contribute to tumor progression have used RNAi followed by allografting of transduced cultured cancer cells. However, they say, orthotopic transplantations necessitate use of immunocompromised animals and generate wound responses, which they say can confound physiological relevance.
In this case, Dr. Schramek and colleagues used an in vivo RNAi strategy to shut down genes thought to initiate development of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). The authors circumvented confounding difficulties with noninvasive, ultrasound-guided in utero lentiviral-mediated RNAi delivery, selectively transducing single-layered surface ectoderm of living mouse embryos at embryonic day 9.5.
The method allowed the investigators to simultaneously test hundreds of candidate genes whose mutations are associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Seven of their top hits including Myh9-encoding nonmuscle myosin-IIa had not been linked to tumor development, yet, on tumor-susceptible backgrounds, tissue-specific Myh9 RNAi and knockout trigger invasive SCC formation.
After shutting down the genes, they looked at which ones, once silenced, caused cancer to progress. Many of those that were critical to human tumor development showed up, but the researchers also found seven that have not previously been linked to carcinogenesis. One of these was myosin-IIa; deficiency of this gene altered the stability of p53, a known tumor-suppressor gene.
In human and mouse keratinocytes, myosin-IIa's function is manifested not only in conventional actin-related processes, but also in regulating post-transcriptional p53 stabilization. Clinically, myosin protein is lost in ~20% of human SCCs examined and low myosin expression correlates with very poor survival of HNSCC patients.
These findings establish myosin as a major SCC suppressor with prognostic and therapeutic relevance, and also highlight the utility of direct in vivo RNAi to integrate cancer genomics and mouse modeling to rapidly discover and validate potent but low-penetrance cancer driver mutations. They also highlight the utility of in vivo RNAi to integrate cancer genomics and mouse modeling for rapid discovery, validation, and functional characterization of potent but low-penetrance tumor suppressors.

Matthew McConaughey is slowly getting stronger after his incredible weight loss. But his workout regimen doesn't include much heavy lifting as a new father.
Asked at Monday night's New York Film Critics Circle Awards dinner if he's running home to change diapers, the actor, 43, told reporters: "I was there this morning, so I guess I am running home. But I'm not changing the diapers."
So, who is?
"Somebody," he said.
For now, the father of 11-day-old son Livingston – as well as older siblings Levi, 4, and Vida, 3 – is focused on getting his own body back to normal.
Asked if he misses his old hunky physique, he replied: "I have less [physical] leverage, but my mind is way sharper … You know, I love to wrestle. It's a good time to wrestle me now. I was 135 lbs., and now I'm up to 160 lbs, so I'm done with that and on my way back."
McConaughey says his target weight is 165 lbs., so he's only 5 lbs. shy of that.
The actor lost the weight for a role in Dallas Buyers Club through an intense diet. When that was over, he knew exactly what he wanted to eat first.
"A cheeseburger," he said. "That was it. I got the cheeseburger, and then I sat there for 25 minutes and doozied it up."

The Rotary Club of Summerville is partnering with the Daniel Island Rotary Club and other participating Rotary Clubs in the Charleston area to hold the seventh annual Charity Duck Race on Saturday, June 8, 2013, on Daniel Island. Established by the Rotary Club of Daniel Island in 2007, this fundraising event has grown each year since and now includes four other Rotary Clubs in the greater Charleston area: Johns Island Rotary Club; North Charleston Breakfast Rotary Club; St. Andrews (West Ashley) Rotary Club; and Summerville Rotary Club.
Festivities will begin at 10:00 am. As in the past, the race will be held near Children's Park at the end of River Landing Drive. Approximately 25,000 individually numbered rubber ducks will be dropped into the Wando River from I-526 at about 11:30 am. The ducks race down the Wando to the finish line at the dock near Children's Park. There is fun for the entire family with face painting, a jump castle, and games and activities for children. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from local food trucks. The first 35 ducks to cross the finish line win valuable prizes, including a $10,000 first prize. The first 10 ducks to cross the finish line also have a chance to win $1,000,000. However, the big winners are charities.
The profits from this event are used to fund Rotary community service programs locally and around the world. Each of the participating Rotary clubs is designating one or more Lowcountry charities as named beneficiaries of the proceeds from the duck race. These charities represent a wide selection of local nonprofit organizations focused on hunger and nutrition, housing and shelter, literacy and education, children and families, and health and wellness. Over the past six years, this event has raised nearly $600,000 for local beneficiaries and Rotary projects worldwide.
Participating Rotary Clubs are welcoming sponsorships beginning at $1,000. Sponsors receive publicity and other sponsor benefits depending on the level of their sponsorship. The participating Rotary Clubs are also seeking individuals and businesses to adopt ducks for a suggested donation of $10 per duck. To adopt ducks online, visit www.charlestonduckrace.com. Donors may also obtain duck adoption forms from members of the participating Rotary Clubs.
Come enjoy a great race and help your local Rotary Clubs help those in need. Adopt a duck today for just $10.

Quite surprised
by Taxi Dad from Washington state | January 9, 2013
We bought this van used just before I left on deployment. Being the typical guy, I was skeptical and quite hesitant on the purchase. C'mon, what guy actually wants to be driving a mini-van? This baby drives smooth as silk. We took it on a family trip (approximately 1700 miles) when I returned and I was quite surprised at the comfort and performance. My wife absolutely LOVES it! I would buy another in a heartbeat!

Must have been built on a Wednesday
by All vans should be this trouble free from MN | August 28, 2011
Going on 12 years with my 2000 GLS. I have owned many GM's but none this trouble free relative to miles driven. At 142,000 miles so far I have replaced the water pump at about 130k (easy and cheap to have done), spark plugs and wires at 100k (really difficult on this engine), rear air springs (cheap as well), and a thermostat (expensive and difficult) way back at about 90k. I have towed over 4000 lbs with it for thousands of miles and never had a problem. The heated drivers seat went out at about 100k but the passenger side still works. Here is the most amazing part. The air conditioning has never been serviced, ever and still works perfectly. That in and of itself deserves a GM hall of fame award. All in all this minivan has far exceeded my expectations and I still drive it every day to commute to work. Have never had a GM this reliable since my mid 90's Bonneville. Even the leather seats and are decent quality, (no rips or tears yet) and some of the soft touch materials are a nice suprise. I realize if you are reading this review you are looking to buy a pretty old car but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Pleasant suprise - good vehicle
by osuwaterboy from | March 14, 2011
I'm the 2nd owner of this van GLS model. After 113,000 miles there have been no issues other than routine maintenance. The interior is well appointed. The leather has held up like new. The power sliding doors are very useful and still work like new. I get about 21mpg overall. Performance and handling are good/average. It doesn't handle rough roads very smoothly, but it's almost always driven on pavement. Acceleration is suprisingly good. I wish it had more storage in the rear. Overall this has been a very good reliable vehicle, and is a good value when compared to other brands.

Never fear, PEOPLE has you covered. As for that last question – It was 1959, when co-host David Niven won Best Actor for Separate Tables. It's just one of many little-known facts revealed in Red Carpet Trivia Live, the live online game launching on PEOPLE.com during the Oscars Sunday night.
The game will offer a stream of questions and fun facts about the presenters and nominees as they appear on TV. Here's a chance to brush up on some trivia in advance with five things you may not know about Hollywood's golden night.
1. The red carpet runs through a mall
The Oscars may be the only major awards show held in a shopping mall. The home of the Academy Awards, the Kodak Theatre, is tucked away in the middle of Hollywood & Highland Center, just past an Aveda store and an Auntie Anne's Pretzels.
2. Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg have a secret past
Co-host Hathaway and Best Actor nominee Eisenberg (The Social Network) made their professional acting debuts together, playing sister and brother on the short-lived Fox family drama series (Get Real (1999-2000). They're reuniting as voice actors in the animated feature Rio, due in April.
3. Buzz Lightyear got dance lessons from Cheryl Burke
In Best Picture nominee Toy Story 3, Buzz Lightyear's Spanish jigs were choreographed by none other than Dancing with the Stars' pro dancers Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani.
4. Amy Adams's mom was a bodybuilder
Adams spent much of her youth preparing for her Oscar-nominated role in The Fighter as boxer Micky Ward's brassy barmaid girlfriend. Not only did she do a brief pre-fame stint as a Hooters hostess, but she and her siblings also hung around the gym a lot, since her mother was a semi-professional bodybuilder. "Mom worked in the gym where she trained," Adams told the U.K. Guardian, "so we hung out there and we terrorized the place."
5. The Oscar curse is real
According to a recent study, of all the women nominated for Best Actress over the past 75 years (not counting the current nominees), 60 percent got divorced sometime after their Academy Award nods. That includes five out of the last 10 winners – Halle Berry, Hilary Swank, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Winslet, and Sandra Bullock.
The 83rd annual Academy Awards will air live Sunday, Feb. 27, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC from Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.

, updated January 9, 2013 at 12:38 PM
WHEATFIELD – Henry M. Sloma, who has been chairman of the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency for more than seven years, resigned today.
Sloma said he has a business opportunity which might create a conflict of interest with his IDA service if he pursued it, so he handed County Legislature Chairman William L. Ross a letter of resignation when Ross arrived to observe today's IDA board meeting.
The resignation is effective Friday. Ross said he had no advance knowledge of it. "I got my January surprise," he said.
Sloma was appointed to the IDA board by the County Legislature in April 2005, and became chairman Aug. 11, 2005.
"I'm going to look into other things," Sloma told reporters. "Some of them are commercial in nature and could create a conflict of interest."
Sloma operates a business consulting company and said he's been contacted by a firm which might be applying to the IDA for assistance.
"I've been working for the community for 40 years," said Sloma, who has been a Lewiston town councilman and administrator of Mount View Health Facility, Niagara County's now-closed nursing home.
He also serves on the Niagara Frontier Transportation Board of Commissioners, a post he said he will keep because his business dealings do not create a conflict with that service. He also was part of the Berger Commission, the statewide panel on the future of health care facilities in New York.
"I think I've given my fair share," said Sloma, 69. "I had a birthday the other day and I had to decide what to do with the rest of my life."

Charleston police arrested a woman about a block away from the downtown bank they think she robbed this afternoon, agency spokesman Charles Francis said.
The ordeal unfolded about 2 p.m. at Calhoun and Meeting streets.
Officers were seen rushing to First Citizens Bank at 317 Meeting St. and talking to people standing outside.
Nearby, at Meeting and Hutson streets, officers blocked traffic and handcuffed a woman wearing pink pants and a "Go Army" ballcap.
A witness who was waiting at the nearby bus stop said the woman was "pregnant" with a sack full of cash.

Prof. Paul Krugman's New York Times column of March 27th, "American Thought Police," made this startling assertion: "the hard right — which these days is more or less synonymous with the Republican Party — has a modus operandi when it comes to scholars expressing views it dislikes: never mind the substance, go for the smear." What would Dr. Freud say? Well, after careful study of Prof. Krugman's works and one trip to the couch, Dr. Freud diagnosed the patient and proclaimed, "projection bias." Yes, the ace of the ad hominem smear is simply projecting his own attributes and habits of mind and deed to others.

LISBON - The man who reportedly assaulted the county sheriff Thursday is in custody.
Lucas Sims turned himself in at the Columbiana County sheriff's office Friday evening, Sgt. Michael Hillman said.
Sims' attorney contacted authorities earlier in the day to say his client would surrender, and Hillman was waiting for him.
Thursday's incident was the second time Sims had eluded arrest when deputies were attempting to serve him a warrant for failure to pay child support.
The first came when he jumped out the window of a camper. That led to two more charges, resisting arrest and fleeing and eluding.
Thursday's flight will result in another more serious charge, assault of a police officer.
After the first incident, Chief Deputy Allen Haueter said, they believe Sims fled to West Virginia. Authorities were waiting for Sims to return and, Thursday, got a tip that he was back at the trailer on Oak Ridge Road just outside Wellsville.
Aware of what happened before, deputies apparently were ready for Sims to run.
Sheriff Ray Stone and four deputies went to the camper, Haueter said, and when Sims went through the window, the sheriff was there.
Sims, however, knocked down the sheriff with a stiff arm, Haueter said. The sheriff kept hold of the suspect's shirt, tearing it off as Sims fled.
Deputies were joined by highway patrol troopers and the St. Clair Township K-9 unit in the search through the hilly terrain, but Sims eluded capture.
Deputies learned Sims stopped at a house on Boyd Road, asking to use the phone, saying he had wrecked his four-wheeler. He was wearing only his boxer shorts and tennis shoes.
He is wearing county jail orange today.

WBB Earns 53-46 Victory at Home Over IPFW
MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State improved to 1-3 on the season with a 53-46 win over visiting IPFW Monday night in Worthen Arena. The win marked the first for first-year head coach Brady Sallee. IPFW fell to 1-2 overall.
Katie Murphy led the Cardinals with a double-double, tallying 12 points and a personal best performance of 14 rebounds. Nathalie Fontaine added a career-high 15 points, while Brittany Carter added eight points, five assists and four steals for the Cardinals.
Ball State would lead the entire second half despite IPFW putting together a 9-0 run that brought them within one point (42-41) with 4:24 left in the contest. The Cardinals kept their composer and never lost their lead after some crucial buckets from Fontaine and making their free throws down the stretch, Ball State was able to secure its victory.
The Cardinals came out of the gates fast in the opening minutes of the contest scoring six straight points after baskets from Fontaine, sophomore guard Shelbie Justice and Carter to give the Ball State the early 6-0 edge over IPFW.
The Cardinals continued its hot scoring earning their biggest lead of the game 24-13 with 2:02 remaining after Fontaine knocked down a free throw. Ball State ended the half up 26-19 over IPFW while holding the Mastodons to only a 29.6 shooting percentage.
The Ball State women's basketball will begin a four game road swing Thursday when it travels to Bethune Cookman (Nov. 23) and Stetson (Nov. 25). The Cardinals will then compete at Murray State (Nov. 29) and Austin Peay (Dec. 1) before returning home Dec. 6 against Detroit Mercy.

Figaro's back, just in the nick of time. Armed with little more than his well-honed wit, Seville's favorite barber arranges romantic rendezvous, delivers covert communiqués, locates lovers, and even manages a few shaves from time to time. Who better than Figaro to assist Count Almaviva elopement with the lovely Rosina, right out from under the nose of Dr. Bartolo, her elderly guardian and would-be bridegroom? From overture to finale, The Barber of Seville is the summit of comic opera, Italian-style.
Rossini's masterpiece is the pinnacle of comic opera, Italian-style.
Act I: Count Almaviva has fallen in love from afar with Rosina. He serenades her, hoping to win her heart. The Count hides when Figaro, the ebullient barber, bursts in, boasting that he is the busiest man in the whole city. Figaro tells the Count that Rosina is kept a virtual prisoner, as the ward of the jealous Doctor Bartolo. The Count launches into another serenade, calling himself Lindoro, an impoverished student. Rosina's attempt to communicate with "Lindoro" is thwarted and Figaro suggests that the Count disguise himself as a soldier, in order to gain entrance to the house. Rosina resolves to reject Bartolo's marriage proposal in favor of the young student, who has deeply touched her heart. Don Basilio, Rosina's music teacher, arrives to give her a lesson. He warns Bartolo about the return of Count Almaviva and proposes a campaign of ever-increasing slander to drive him away. Figaro, having overheard them, alerts Rosina that the Doctor plans to marry her the next day. Disguised as a drunken soldier, Almaviva arrives, demanding a night's lodging. He argues loudly with Bartolo, meanwhile slipping a love note to Rosina. Figaro rushes in, followed by the police, whose attempt to arrest the soldier is thwarted.
Act II: Doctor Bartolo's pleasure at getting rid of the soldier is interrupted by the arrival of "Don Alonzo," a music teacher substituting for the supposedly ailing Don Basilio. It is, of course, Almaviva in a new disguise. Rosina begins her lesson while Figaro begins to shave the Doctor. The hale and hearty Basilio appears, much to their surprise, but Almaviva bribes him to feign illness. Almaviva and Rosina plan to elope at midnight, but Bartolo overhears them; he sends Rosina to her room and throws Figaro and "Don Alonzo" out into the street. Bartolo persuades Rosina that Lindoro is a servant of Almaviva, who is plotting her seduction. Rosina agrees to marry Bartolo. Figaro and Almaviva arrive during a violent thunderstorm and Rosina accuses them of betrayal. Almaviva finally reveals that he is not Lindoro, but the Count, and is re-united with Rosina. Basilio arrives with the Notary, for the wedding of Bartolo and Rosina, but the Notary is just as happy to marry Rosina and Almaviva. Bartolo arrives too late and has no choice but to join in a chorus of rejoicing for the bride and groom.

"I'm not myself," says Peter the cellist ending the first rehearsal of the Fugue String Quartet after the death of his wife. "Maybe in a day or two I'll get my hands back."
The world touring and renowned group is in its 25th year, with 3,000 concerts under its collective belt.
The problem, tragically, is not just a passing problem with his hands or his spirit. His doctor tells him she thinks it's the onset of Parkinson's. "Wow," is his response.
Quite so.
What follows in Yaron Silberman's exceptional "A Late Quartet" is as fine and uncompromised a movie about classical music as you are ever likely to see – a musically sophisticated movie entirely without pandering or crude popularizing. There is never a moment in this film that rings anything but true, from the first violinist's quest for the perfect Siberian horsehair for his bow to Peter the cellist telling a master class about his earliest life encounter with the legendary Pablo Casals.
By the time it's over, it's been a complex and quite rich set of variations on life, love and work distinguished by a quartet of wonderful actors at the top of their game – Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Mark Ivanir.
The quartet's relationships are astonishingly intimate and intricate both in their work and in their lives. And at the same time, under so many years of so much performing closeness, each member can hear every flaw in the others. They're a microcosm of society that presumes it's at its best.
Peter the cellist raised Juliette the violist with his recently deceased wife. Juliette is married to Robert the second violinist. Their talented violinist daughter Alexandra has started sleeping with the first violinist Daniel.
Is it any wonder that the destabilizing Parkinson's of the group's oldest member – 30 years older than the first violinist who formed the quartet – implodes every bit of its stability? Second violinist Robert takes that moment to announce that he misses the passion and spontaneity of the group's earliest years and wants to start switching the first violinist's lead role with Daniel.
If life can spontaneously introduce incurable illness into the quartet, why can't Robert spontaneously introduce his long wounded ego and creative frustration?
Just as films about sports have to end with the Big Game or the Big Match, so too, obviously, does "A Late Quartet" have to end with what Peter wants to be his final concert, including Beethoven's sublime quartet Op. 131, to be played at Beethoven's direction "attacca," without pause.
But even there in this very fine chamber film about chamber music, what happens at the end is not quite what you think is going to happen. And it's all the more powerful for being that way.
It ought to go without saying that as experienced and as versatile an actor as Walken is, he seldom gets to play roles with such gentleness and intellectual authority. Keener's naturally hoarse plaintiveness and Hoffman's gift for repressed explosion are an exquisitely matched mini-duet inside the soloing and quartet interaction of the rest.
Everything fits together exquisitely, including the magnificent dark varnished cinematography of the great cinematographer Frederick Elmes.
An exceptional little film.
It should be noted that before long we'll see another film about classical musicians, the similarly titled "Quartet." That one, though, marks the film debut of Dustin Hoffman as director and stars Maggie Smith as a retired opera singer causing dissension among other retired singers.
A whole different thing, that one – clearly.
This one, though, is quite rare.
3 and 1/2 stars
Starring: Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir
Director: Yaron Silberman
Running time: 106 minutes
The Lowdown: A string quartet has to deal with its cellist's illness and the internal chaos it reveals.

Two people were killed about 12:30 p.m. today in the crash of a tractor-trailer and van on Transit Road near Casey Road in Clarence.
The victims were an elderly man and woman in the van, said state police at Clarence, who have not released their identities.
The crash occurred when the rig, which was traveling south on Transit, swerved into the opposite lane and struck the northbound van, police said. The van ended up careening into a house located next to a bar-restaurant, police said.
Traffic on the busy stretch of roadway was diverted following the crash, resulting in the closing of the roadway between Casey and Muegel Road.
Further details were unavailable.

I saw an article the other day that says that one piece swim suits are going to overtake the popularity of bikinis in the next few years
. Agree or disagree?
But they're so hard to pee in!ReplyCancel
I disagree. I will always wear a bikini, I don't feel comfortable in a one piece. But in general? Who knows. Probably.ReplyCancel
This brazilian is sticking to a two piece. I hate the funky tan lines.ReplyCancel
I disagree. A one piece may be the fad for a season or two, but they'll never take over.ReplyCancel
Wait? I only do bikinis, but why is it hard to pee? Do you actually try and take your bathing suit off??? Why? Lol.ReplyCancel
tankinis are a great compromise. No peeing problem! And if you are not in perfect shape for a true bikini, you get additional coverage. Not sure where tankini fits into this post about one piece vs. bikini though. Since I've gotten a little older I finally had to get over that I WILL NEVER NOT WEAR A BIKINI thing. Especially after seeing some of the women at the beach near where I live.. just not flattering (and I am not picking on heavier women, it's just that you can choose to wear something more flattering to your body… or NOT)ReplyCancel
Disagree. I got my Mom a LIFE magazine from 1945, the year she was born, and it featured women's swimsuit styles through the decades (including those full-body contraptions from the early 1900s!). The two-piece by 1945 had already established itself and no way does it just become less popular now.ReplyCancel
I've only ever worn one-piece swimsuits.ReplyCancel
As a child I remember having so much trouble, you're wet so the bathing suit is clinging on extra tight and yeah having to take off the suit and put it back on was terrible!ReplyCancel
That's WILD! I was just thinking when I saw Enty's post of Demi playing in mud that bikinis seem like a law requirement now or something. Even when completely unflattering to the body. That one chic in the one piece looks like she might as well be wearing a burka!
As my body is not, nor will ever be, bikini friendly and I think there are some hot classic one piece bathing suits (see enty's pics of cindy crawford and axel's ex) I would love to read that article-LINK it Enty!!
Hi beautiful CDANERS, sorry for the run-ons!!ReplyCancel
Yes b/c it hides our gut better.ReplyCancel
I read that same article. Bikinis will never leave us, there will always be some hoochie mama slapping some string across her nipples and butt crack and calling it a bathing costume.
I am glad one pieces are being seen as sexy again because sometimes I like to drink while in my swimming suit, and sometimes my stomach becomes not so nice because of said drinking.
And come on ladies, you just pull the bottom to the side. Old trick I learned from competitive swimming years ago after angrily trying to yank a soaking wet, two sizes too small swimsuit back up my body while crammed into a tiny bathroom stall.ReplyCancel
I think the right one piece can be very sexy! So it could happen – but some women go to the beach just to show their shit off so no I don't think it will happen1!!!ReplyCancel
P.S. yes I am one of those women that wants to show my shit offReplyCancel
We all know that if we looked fantastic we'd be wearing a bikini, when you've gained a few and don't want the world to stare you cover it up, it's as simple as that.ReplyCancel
I have no idea. But I LOVE the term "bathing costume".ReplyCancel
I'm really surprised so many didn't know to just move the crotch to the side!ReplyCancel
You can't pee in a one piece. Really, that is a reason for not wearing one? If a fish can pee in the ocean, so can you. Urine is non-toxic believe it or not. But, don't pee in the pool. ewww.
I prefer tankinis. They are the best. Hides my pouch, and I can lift the shirt up and still tan my midsection. Problem solved.ReplyCancel
@LuluG, tankini's all the way, I embraced them years ago and have not looked back. Comfort of a two piece, coverage of a 1 piece, plus if you just have black, brown and navy bottoms, you can switch up your look all the time with just a new top. What a random your turn question though!ReplyCancel
I'm a fan of the one piece.. They can be very sexy! I have stretch marks below my belly button that all the crunches in the world can't hide so I've found the perfect one piece.. It's UV Friendly no line swimsuits.. Sun goes right through the material so no tan lines at all!ReplyCancel
One-pieces now, (I'm 50).
I wore bikinis before I had kids, because I'm tall, and it was a real problem to find one that was long enough in the torso. Plus, the one-pieces are so much more stylish now.
My figure's not that bad, but I've had 3 kids and I have some stretch marks that I don't want anyone seeing, plus your skin isn't as tight as it is when you are 25.
Yes, though, I think the one-pieces are really nice. Teenagers will always wear bikinis though, I think.ReplyCancel
Ladies, there are some awesome websites featuring women of all sizes wearing gorgeous one pieces and bikinis. It can be done and you can look super fabulous. Google Venus swimwear, Lehona swimwear (www.lehona.com.br. I'd do more but I'm about to board a plane overseas to attend grandpa's funeral. Heartbroken right now. Google plus size and gorgeous swimsuits. You can get some ideas that way.ReplyCancel
I think my one pice is way sexier than wearing something unflattering. I found a really cute pin -up style suit with ruching and cute details, I get plenty of compliments on it.
It's not as sexy as my 17 year old self in a 2 piece, but if we are talking about my 35 year old self it's much better.
Dress for the body you have, not the body you want!
Except for the bathroom thing, i like one piece better. I like the beach, like to swim,, walk around- and I dont want to worry the whole time that something might get exposed. I want to be comfy. However there are some 2 pcs that give alot of coverage tooReplyCancel
Always wore bikinis. But, if the swelling does not do down around my incision site I may be forced to wear a one piece. That's irony for you, I lose 15 lb after surguery and now I got a pooch:(ReplyCancel
I hope so! After 3 pregnancies, one of those bearing twins, this momma is NEVER getting into a 2 piece again! Now if only the little skirt suits would become the rage 😉ReplyCancel
I've always worn one pieces as well. I've just never wanted to lay out in the equivalent of a bra and underwear. I love Modcloth for sexy, retro ones. And I slather my virgin skin with SPF 70 so I don't tan or get wrinkles 😉ReplyCancel
The baby boomers probably feel that the one piece gives good coverage. A lot of trends follow the baby boomersReplyCancel

Mighty three-thousand-meter peaks surround Goms, the uppermost valley along the Rhone River. The valley extends from Lax to Gletsch, the village at the foot of the Rhone Glacier. The quiet villages of the Goms region harbor cultural treasures. About 70 baroque churches and chapels with slender white spires, and also old, sun-blackened wooden houses and barns in the Valaisian style, appeal to the hearts of culture-minded guests. Nature lovers will not want to miss an excursion to the adjacent UNESCO-World Natural Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch, with the imposing mighty Aletsch Glacier.
You can also discover the region by train, since the Goms is located on the famous Glacier Express line that links Zermatt with St. Moritz or Davos. A ride on the nostalgic steam train of the Furka Line also guarantees an unforgettable experience. The Furka railway tunnel with car transfer enables direct access to Goms from Zürich/Central Switzerland all year round. In summer, when the Alpine passes Furka, Nufenen and Grimsel are open, the journey to the Goms region is even more varied. Cozy little hotels and a plethora of holiday apartments welcome visitors with traditional Valaisian hospitality.
In summer, nature enthusiasts will be able to hike to their hearts' content on over 700 kilometers of marked trails, ranging from mountain, glacier and pass routes to leisurely walks in the valley. On a myriad of nature trails with special themes - among them the "Journey through the Life of Caesar Ritz", dedicated to the luxury hotel pioneer born in Goms - one can learn much about the culture of the high valley.
On the Climate Audio Trail, visitors on (electric) bikes or cross-country skis in winter can discover fascinating facts about the region's history, culture, climate and renewable energy at several listening stations. A Nature Trail for bicyclists as well as several Mountainbike Trails invites families to explore the region on the saddle of a steel-horse. River rafting on the young Rhone River, or a mule or llama trekking tour on narrow mule trails, appeal to the more adventurous.
Thanks to its location at 1300 meters above sea level, the Goms region is one of Switzerland's most beautiful cross-country paradises, with over 100 kilometers of Nordic tracks. The Matterhorn-Gotthard Line makes it possible to stop at one of the numerous railway stations in Goms that provide access to a network of Nordic tracks. Goms has also eleven sign-posted snowshoe trails. Last but not least, there are small skiing areas and several toboggan runs in the versatile valley. The Ski, Snowboard, Carving and Cross-Country Schools will reinforce your love of winter sports and perfect your skill.

For Denise Williams and her family -- this is a fresh start. For the many who helped place her in a new home - it was a gift. Every year, women across Summerville and the nation gather to build a home for a family in need during the Habitat for Humanity National Women Build Week.
A world-wide organization, Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to bringing housing to families unable to find decent housing at an affordable cost. During the women build at least 75% of the work is done by women -- many who have families of their own.

An endangered green sea turtle is making progress as veterinarians try to save its life after a rescue at Port Canaveral on Wednesday.
The turtle was found with fishing line wrapped around its neck.
Officials said they think it might have swallowed the fishing hook.
The animal was found stranded on some rocks by a fisherman.
Green sea turtles nest on Brevard County beaches, but they're much less common than the more familiar loggerhead turtles.
The turtles not only have trouble with fishing line, they're often found covered with tumors after spending time in the Indian River Lagoon.
The Sea Turtle Preservation Society is taking the animal to SeaWorld for rehabilitation.

ROCKFORD - Jeff Fahrenwald, head of Rockford University's Masters in Business Administration program and a longtime business consultant, was named Citizen of the Year by the Rockford Chamber of Commerce on Thursday night.
Chamber President Einar Forsman cited Fahrenwald's commitment to educating the next generation of business leaders for the honor as well as his work with such groups as Montessori Private Academy, Transform Rockford and the Midwest Business Administration Association.
"Whether serving on nonprofit or professional business management boards, this person is a doer, getting things done and inspiring others by working alongside of them," Forsman said.
The chamber received letters in support of Fahrenwald from people representing The Genysis Group, JPMorgan Chase, Rockford Local Development Corp., Rockford Park District and SupplyCore Inc.
