Genetically modified rubber plants have made human proteins for the first time, offering a cheap way of harvesting proteins used in drugs and industry. "It's a living bioreactor, and we're getting continuous production simply by tapping it for milk," says Hoong-Yeet Yeang of the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. A gene in Yeang's rubber trees produces human serum albumin, a nutrient given to patients on drips in intensive care. Yeang says the yield is high enough to make proteins very cheaply, and the latex left over can still be used to make rubber.

London is a beautiful city and one of the best ways to get to know it is by foot. Wandering around, without a set aim can be great fun. Even so, there are also a number of fantastic guided tours available to suit all ages and interests. Here is our pick of some of the best:
Jack the Ripper Tour
The Jack the Ripper tour is a walking classic, guaranteed to leave you looking over your shoulder. The London Walks Jack the Ripper tour leaves at 7.30 every evening from Tower Hill tube and costs £9 for an adult (children go free). Lead by Donald Rumbelow, who is considered to be the world authority on Jack the Ripper, the walk transports the audience back to the dangerous world of 1888 London. Here, the grisly, unsolved murders of Jack the Ripper will unfold and Donald will reveal his findings as you try to solve these ghastly crimes.
The Alternative London Tour

Lasting about two hours, the tour will take you around the East End of London, showcasing the abundance of creativity in the area whilst providing information on historical and cultural events. Although this is not just a street art tour, you are guaranteed to see at least 40 different works of art by different street artists. The Alternative London Tour also holds a weekly Street Art Tour and Workshop, providing you with all the materials and know how to make your own piece of art work, inspired by the likes of Bansky and Jimmy C. The Sunday tour costs £25.
Cupcake and Macaroon Tour
The sweet toothed amongst you might be tempted by Great British Tours Cupcake and Macaroon Tour of London. Starting opposite Covent Garden tube, the tour leaves Thursday to Saturday at 3pm and takes you around some of the yummiest establishments in London.

The tour leaves from London Bridge and will guide you around London, pointing out magical places such as the entrance into The Leaky Cauldron and the alley that inspired Diagonal Alley.

Sweet Freezer Pickles with Dill
3 comments | Leave Comment
Sweet Freezer Pickles with Dill
Freezing marinated crisp, firm veggies is a quick, tasty way to preserve veggies like cucumbers, peppers, carrots, and cabbage. Once thawed, they can be kept in the fridge for a few days.
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 2½ pounds cucumbers, cut into rounds or slices
- 3 tablespoons pickling or kosher salt
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon whole dill seeds
- 1 cup chopped or sliced red pepper (optional)
- 1½ cup sugar
- 1½ cup cider vinegar
- In a large bowl, toss the cucumber slices with the salt. Let the cucumbers stand for about 2 hours to release moisture and drain.
- In another bowl, combine the salted cucumbers, garlic cloves, dill and dill seeds, chopped red pepper, sugar, and vinegar. Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours so the cucumbers have a chance to absorb the flavors of the brine.
- Remove the bowl from the fridge. Pour the cucumbers and brine in freezer bags or containers and store in the freezer. Thaw the pickles for about 8 hours in the fridge before serving.

This blog post showcases three recently released 4 μm particle-size capillary columns for our high-pressure ion chromatography (IC) systems (Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-5000 Reagent-Free HPIC and Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-4000 capillary HPIC systems) plus chromatograms of applications for the columns. As higher backpressures are possible with the high-pressure IC systems, these columns yield fast separations with short (150 mm) columns, and high resolution with standard length (250 mm) columns. They also produce more efficient peaks allowing higher resolution separations and faster run times.
These are the Thermo Scientific Dionex IonPac AS18-4µm Anion-Exchange columns for the determination of inorganic anions and low-molecular-weight organic acids. Some great examples shown at the link above include:
The Thermo Scientific Dionex IonPac AS11-HC-4µm Anion-Exchange columns are a smaller particle column and thus provide a higher resolution of inorganic anions and organic acid anions in complex matrices. The examples for this column include:
The Thermo Scientific Dionex IonPac CS19-4µm Cation-Exchange columns provide a high resolution separation of small polar amines. Examples shown include:

When celebrating the successes and accomplishments of the 2013 Tiger Shark football season, it might be easy to overlook the contributions of a key group of young men.
Young men that tolerated the smothering humidity and heat of August as well as the bitter cold winds of November and never played a single down in a game this season. These young men worked hard and provided essential support to every coach and player on the team.
Angel Padilla, a senior, who works with his fellow managers to set-up the field on game day, keep the team hydrated, and do any other job the coaches need, said that his most important job might just be keeping up with quarterback and kicker Drew Lacour's kicking shoe.
"The best is when they announce my name at the games and walking out with the team during the pep rallies," says Javion "String Bean" Jones, a manager since 2010.
He added that he also enjoys his job because he gets to be a part of the team, however, keeping up with the officials during the games can be challenging!
Javion also works with the girls' basketball teams and the baseball team.
Fellow manager, Lance Duhan added, "Being a manager is fun."
Lance's words seem to sum up the feelings of the rest of the management crew which also includes brothers Chance and Jacob Pittman.

TUESDAY - February 3, 2009
GREENVILLE - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court today United States Magistrate Judge David Daniel accepted the guilty plea of HENRY RAYMOND MCDOWELL, JR., 34, of Coram, New York, for interfering with the performance of a flight attendant and crew member, in violation of Title 49, United States Code, Section 46504.
A Criminal Information was filed on January 5, 2009. On November 19, 2008, MCDOWELL, a passenger aboard a Comair flight originating from New York and bound for Savannah, Georgia, was specifically instructed by a flight attendant to remain in his seat while taxiing for take off. MCDOWELL, ignoring the flight attendant's instructions, entered the lavatory. Following the beverage service, the flight attendant noted that the smoke alarm from the lavatory located in the rear of the aircraft had activated. The pilot, also receiving an alarm in the cockpit regarding the activation of the lavatory smoke detector, smelled the smoke that had wafted through the plane. The flight attendant had observed MCDOWELL exit the lavatory earlier. MCDOWELL eventually admitted to smoking in the lavatory and disposing of the cigarette in the toilet.
Because of safety concerns, the pilot diverted the aircraft to Raleigh Durham International Airport. When the announcement was made to the passengers regarding the diversion, a passenger made a derogatory comment to MCDOWELL, blaming MCDOWELL for the diversion. MCDOWELL then began moving towards and screaming at another passenger. When the first passenger informed MCDOWELL that he had made the comment, MCDOWELL redirected his attention to him, threatening to kill the passenger and his family, calling him a name.
The flight attendant, attempting to intervene, was struck twice by MCDOWELL. Additional passengers got involved to assist in getting MCDOWELL under control. He was eventually re-seated near the front of the plane to separate him from the other passengers and his companion, who he had been verbally abusive to also.
Mr. Holding commented: I can't imagine a place more ill-suited for an altercation than an airplane. When each of us boards a plane we place our very lives in the hands of the crew and our fellow passengers. There is no room for error and any person who interferes with a flight crew must be prosecuted in order to prevent these types of incidents in the future."
The maximum penalty for the charge of interfering with a flight crew member is up to 20 years imprisonment followed by up to three years supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for the May 4, 2009, term of court.
Investigation of the case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Eric Evenson served as prosecutor for the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Violence against the homeless on the rise in Pinellas
Andrea Lypka
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
The number of homeless people in Pinellas County is increasing and violence against these people is also on the rise. Florida ranks the first in the country for violence against homeless persons, according to the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless.
A 60-year old Vietnam War veteran known as Pops sleeps by St. Petersburg City Hall with his son, Daniel. He has been living in the streets for four and a half years and prior to that he was an engineer. âI am a decorated veteran. I spent four years in combat. I came home and my own country can't help me? Something is wrong,â he says.
Pops says he doesn't blame society or institutions for his situation; instead he blames the bad economy. âHow do I plan to change my life? I have an education, I should be teaching. I am hoping to get back in the engineering field. I am talking to my ex-boss, and he says that as long as my hip doesn't get fixed I can't work for him. I have been six times to the Bayfront [hospital] but they kicked me out because I don't have insurance,â he says.
On Dec. 21, he has read passages from the Old Testament and Gospel at the Homeless Personâs Memorial Service held at St. Peterâs Cathedral. After the event, Pops was heading back to the City Hall when a gang of nine adults attacked him and his son in a parking lot around 9 p.m., he says. The gang stole their bicycles and beat them up. They also called them names, broke his glasses and threatened to kill them, says Pops.
According to Pops the police arrived within 20 minutes and it took another 20 minutes for the paramedics to get to the scene. He filed a complaint at the police and he has the case number in his pocket. He went to the hospital with a minor concussion; loose tooth and broken nose. He also says that he and many of his friends have been often targeted by gangs.
The Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless helps to integrate homeless people into the community. The organization also monitors the situation of people living in the streets. Director of Development George Bolden says almost 5,200 homeless people lived in Pinellas County in 2007. That is a 10.5 percent increase since 2006. He says homelessness affects the whole community.
Bolden says that because of the lack of space in the shelters about 170 people sleep around the City Hall, at least 50 sleep in the hall of the Salvation Army and even more sleep on railroad tracks.
Florida ranks first in the country for violence against homeless persons, says Bolden. The Homeless Speakers Bureau brings attention to the violence against homeless people and encourages the community to end this violence. The Speakers Bureau's local coordinator is Gregory W. Rolle who himself has been homeless in Pinellas County for several years and now wants to change stereotypical perceptions of homeless people.
Rolle says many veterans, children, and elderly become homeless. Violence against these people is perpetuated mainly by high school, middle school and college students. The reason may be the education these children get from their families. Rolle also says that some organizations abuse their power and their resources. This ultimately harms people in the streets.
But Pops says he is confident that the city and the police will reduce violence against the homeless. âI have hope that Mayor Baker will change the laws ... I have hopes that all the violence will go away, that the police will someday will get active enough to stop it. It seems that they don't wish to do so at this point,â he says.
Since this attack, Pops has been continuously watching his back. He hopes the community is going to be more tolerant of people living in the streets. He wants to open a bicycle shop one day. Until then he fixes up bicycles in Crescent Lake Park and other places and he donates them to other homeless people so that they can find a job and keep in touch with their families.
The Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless (PCCH) is seeking volunteers to help count and survey homeless people on Jan. 26. This Point-In-Time count of the county's homeless population is conducted yearly to determine federal funding levels. To volunteer please contact the organization by visiting Pinellas Homeless.

Praise for Met Office weather forecast accuracy during Olympic sailing events
Posted: October 10, 2012|
Olympic organisers and athletes have praised the Met Office for the accuracy of their forecasts during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Met Office worked with LOCOG for over two years in preparation for London 2012. During the Games, they provided weather forecasts to the Games organisers, for the competing athletes and their coaches and also for visitors and those responsible for the massive logistical exercise of transporting and ensuring the safety of huge numbers of visitors.
Met Office forecasters with an understanding of the sports they were forecasting for worked alongside Games organisers in London, Weymouth and Portland and Eton Dorney. They provided round-the-clock support and advice on weather conditions throughout the Games.
They also introduced daily air quality forecasts for over 5,000 locations, increased wind and wave modelling for Weymouth and Portland and new weather observing technology.
The forecast for the day of the opening ceremony predicted showers clearing throughout the day – with only a small chance of a shower at Olympic Park during the ceremony itself. As forecast, the Olympic Park saw a brief shower in the run-up to the opening ceremony but the main event stayed dry.
During the sailing competition in Dorset, Met Office forecasters advised five days ahead of developing high pressure which would cause winds to fall very light. The forecasters at Weymouth and Portland worked with organisers to help them manage the race schedule.
Rod Carr, London 2012 Field of Play Manager at Weymouth and Portland, said: "The Met Office team were first class – not only in the technical accuracy of the forecasts, but also the quality of the daily briefings and their ability to engage meaningfully with the race management teams. The International Sailing Federation and several national team leaders were also very complimentary about the forecast service, with several saying it was the best met service they had ever experienced at a Games."
Met Office forecasters at Eton Dorney provided weather information including wind speed and direction, rainfall and lightning information to the rowing organisers throughout the event. The event organisers then used this advice to ensure the sport in question took place fairly and safely.
Cora Zillich, LOCOG spokeswoman based at the Eton Dorney rowing venue, said: "At Eton Dorney we worked very closely with colleagues at the Met Office to support the race scheduling. The advice we received was absolutely spot on, to allow us to complete a successful day's racing on schedule."

Most of us cut a few blooms from our flower gardens and bring them inside to arrange in a vase, and growing rows of flowers especially for cutting is becoming much more popular. But how can we make sure that the flowers we cut last as long as possible?
Choosing the right plants is crucial. Some flowers simply don't last well. Zinnias, alstroemerias, and echinaceas have been proven to be especially long lasting—zinnias can look good for as long as 24 days with no treatment at all if their water is changed every 2 days.

How you cut the stems is also important. The best time to cut is usually in the morning, before the day's sun has sucked the moisture from the leaves. As soon as a stem is cut, stand it in a bucket of tepid water; don't wait until you're back indoors to put the cut stems in water. Never crush, split, or hammer stems, even woody stems, as this encourages air bubbles that can block the stems and prevent water from being taken up.
It's also important always to use clean vases and clean water. Remove any foliage that will be under water after the stems are arranged, and recut the stems under water with a slanting cut.
|Coppertina ('Mindia') ninebark in fall
Adding a floral preservative to the water helps prevent the multiplication of bacteria that block the stems and make it hard for them to take up water. The preservative also usually includes a sugar that encourages buds to open. There are many homegrown suggestions for making cut flowers last, including adding aspirin or pennies to the water, but commercial products work best. Alternatively, simply change the water every 2 days. This can be very effective, especially for plants with downy stems, such as cornflowers.
Finally, remember that your yard can yield valuable cut foliage as well as flowers. Coppertina ('Mindia') ninebark, the 2011 Cut Flower of the Year, is indispensible; it lasts best when cut in summer and fall.

Moving day arrived Dec. 4 at the Cape San Blas Lighthouse.
The U.S. Air Force began the move of the keepers' quarters and oil house on the lighthouse grounds in the fight to save the lighthouse and buildings from encroaching erosion.
The Air Force out of Eglin Air Force Base, which owns the property on which the lighthouse and buildings sit, contracted with CCI Contractors out of Shalimar, which in turn subcontracted the work of moving the keepers' quarters and oil house to Stone's House Movers out of Sneads.
The keepers' quarters were moved back roughly 100 feet, leaving them essentially the same distance from the coast as the lighthouse which is not considered in imminent danger.
"This was an Air Force initiative to move these buildings," said public information officer Mike Spaits. "We contracted to have the buildings moved and secured the $50,000 to fund the move. We had a partner in the (Army Corps of Engineers) but this was an Air Force initiative."
On Dec. 4, the first of the two keepers' quarters was moved, with plans to move the second and the oil house later in the week.
The moves are being made to buy time. The Air Force has already rendered the lighthouse and buildings surplus and the application for applying to take possession of them expired the last week of November.
The National Parks Service is now reviewing the applications for a final award. The
"We are responsible for protecting our historic resources," said Maria Rodriguez, chief administrator for historic resources with Eglin AFB. "That's why we are moving them back, to get them out of harm's way."
Hurricane Isaac this year was effectively the final straw in the protection of the lighthouse, which has long sat in an area of Cape San Blas that is rapidly eroding.
Isaac took an additional 27 feet of shoreline, rendering the one entrance road into the lighthouse grounds impassable.
A new entrance road was constructed to facilitate the move of the lighthouse and buildings once a final destination has been determined.
The keepers' quarters and oil house will remain on temporary moorings to facilitate the move to a new location. The county is proposing
After the buildings are moved, the Air Force will begin to clear debris from the shoreline surrounding the grounds.

Yea, don't mess with bill about his speed. As I was laying there sort of going in and out of semi consciousness, I heard Bill say he thought it was his fault. After I got to the hospital and they stabilized the pain so I could think clearly, I made a point to call him and let him know I did't blame him. That would be a terrible thing to have on one's conscience. I took that turn at my own pace, and what I thought was an overly safe pace. As I stated in the story above, I'm not entirely sure what went wrong. Just an unlucky bad bounce I guess.
I just got back from my 2 week follow up with my surgeon. He says everything is healing great, even though my foot looks like something from a horror movie. I call it "The Franken-Foot". I'll try in the next day or so to get xrays and pics posted. Doc expecting almost full recovery. Says that ankle will always be a bit stiff since it was utterly destroyed,(always a good thing to hear from your Doc) but eventually I'll be able to walk and function just fine. He did warn me not to ever try running a marathon, but I don't think I was in any danger of that anyway. Fun stuff.

Hello! So, it sounds like there will be more Measure H votes counted by this afternoon…but only the remaining absentee ballots (I've heard that there are between a few dozen and a hundred of these for the whole county.) "I always say it'll be three or four in the afternoon," said Alameda County Registrar of Voters Spokesman Guy Ashley. "But then it's four or five…so some time around then."
We'll have to keep waiting, says Ashley, for county workers to verify and tally the remaining provisional ballots (there are an estimated 6,500 of these county-wide). "With every provisional ballot, we have to check a number of things," says Ashley. "If someone shows up at the polling the place and there's some reason to say, 'Hmm, I shouldn't give you a regular ballot, you're at the wrong polling place, you're not on a roster,' we give them a provisional ballot. And that let's us go back and research whether they're able to vote." As provisional ballots are verified throughout the week, says Ashley, they will be posted on Alameda's new favorite web site: the Measure H page at the Alameda County Registrar's office.

Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Advanced, the second part of the popular and comprehensive series, updated for CS5, follows internationally renowned Photoshop guru Deke McClelland as he dives into the workings of Photoshop. He explores such digital-age wonders as the Levels and Curves commands, edge-detection filters, advanced compositing techniques, vector-based text, the Liquify filter, and Camera Raw. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details, smoothing over wrinkles and imperfections, and enhancing colors without harming the original image. Exercise files accompany the course.
Recommended prerequisite: Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
I'm still working inside Gamma tweak.psd inside the 14_levels_curves folder. You may recall in the previous exercise, we went ahead and painted the selection with the Quick Selection tool and then refined it using the Refine Edge command. Now, we're ready to create another Adjustment layer that will open up those shadows, and we're going to put that Adjustment layer on top of the existing one. So, go ahead and click on the custom levels adjustment, and I'm going to apply another Levels Adjustment layer. So, I'll press Ctrl+Shift+L or Command+Shift+L on the Mac, and I encourage you to go ahead and name your Adjustment layers according to their function.
So, in this case, I call my shadow brightener, for example, because that's what it's going to do, and then I'll click OK. Up comes the Adjustments panel with a histogram that represents the composite view. So, in other words, I'm seeing the histogram of the selection that's a combination of the Background image and the custom levels adjustment layer working together. That's the way the Adjustment layers work. They build on top of each other. All right, but it's not accurate, so I could update it by clicking on this warning icon, not all that much different but worth doing.
Now, one way to work, if you really wanted to brighten the heck out of these shadows, you could drag this white point over, like so. Notice that goes ahead and applies a kind of underlining to the awning, which you might find to be beneficial. It's definitely a little bit surreal, I would say. However, what you have to bear in mind is that it's very possible that we're going to be drawing out a lot of noise inside of those shadows, because this is a pretty significant tweak that we're applying, and we're heaping it on top of another adjustment layer.
So, it's basically one color adjustment on top of another one. That's bound to get a little bit destructive, just something to bear in mind. So, you want to take it easy. I'm going to take that white point value back up to 255, and I'm going to focus my attention on the Gamma value. So, I'll press Shift+Up Arrow three times in a row to raise that value to 1.3. That's not quite far enough in my opinion, but if I go up to 1.4, that looks to me to be too far. So, I'm going to split the difference by nudging that value down to 1.35.
Then if you take a look at the histogram, you can see that we really don't have a solid black going on here. We've got some shadow details, but they failed to touch the left edge of the graph. As a result, we have some wishy-washy details there inside the awning. I'm going to go ahead and press Shift+Tab in order to back up to the black point value, and I'll press Shift+Up Arrow in order to darken the shadows. That ends up looking really nice in my opinion. So, I'm going to collapse the Adjustments panel here. Let's see what kind of contribution our new adjustment layer has made.
This is the image just that appeared at the outset of the exercise, and this is how it looks now. So, definitely breathing some credible life into those details, in other words, we're not going too far, however, we can make out the details quite nicely. Now, another thing I'd like to do is show you the difference between this, our custom adjustment, and the blended automatic adjustments that we applied a few exercises back. They're available to us right there, the auto adjustment group, notice, it's turned off, I'll go ahead and turn it back on. So, this is what we had arrived at, a few exercises ago.
It looked awfully darn good at the time, but now if I turn it off, and we compare it to what we have now, the custom correction looks a heck of a lot better in my opinion. Just so that we can say we've come full circle, if I Alt+Click or Option+Click in the eyeball in front of the Background layer, this is the original dim low-contrast version of the image. This is the image as it appears now, thanks to two Levels Adjustments working together here inside Photoshop.

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 5/8/13
LeBron James has improved his game so much that he really has no weakness. His defense is outstanding, his passing and rebounding is stellar like usual, he's improved his offensive efficiency, and he's even become a good outside shooter. But the one area James feels he needs to improve is free throw shooting. James is a career 74.7 percent free throw shooter. His highest percentage of his career was when he shot 78 percent from the line in the 2008-2009 season. He's never made 80 percent of his free throws for a regular or postseason, but he's looking to change that. "I need and I want to shoot in the 80s," James said via the Heat's website. "That's my next goal, my free-throw shooting." James has been working with teammate Ray Allen, who is sixth all time in NBA career free-throw percentage (.8936), on improving his free throws. He's even adopted his teammate's routine at the line: "I don't know if he adopted my routine, I think he just goes to what's comfortable for him. Looks good. He missed two free throws [last night] but he looks like he has a greater deal of confidence when he's on the line," Allen told the Heat's website on Tuesday. "Just how he shoots it looks a lot more fluid. Our little free throw games, they're definitely helping him." James and Allen compete against each other with shooting games at practices, and LeBron has even won their outside shooting competitions sometimes. He's looking to make that happen with free throws, too. He went 7-of-9 at the line on Monday doing the Allen routine. That's not a bad number for him. If you look at James' career stats, you'll notice that he has improved on his numbers almost year after year. It's hard not to appreciate his desire to get better.

Gionee outs a teaser for the worlds thinnest smartphone
The Chinese manufacturer Gionee released a teaser for what appears to be the worlds slimmest smartphone. The yet to be revealed device is bound to be even thinner than the already ludicrously skinny Gionee Elife S5.5.
Gionee's teaser (click to enlarge)
The teaser consists of a walk down memory lane, showcasing handset phone thinness champions from the past. They include the Motorola V8, Apple iPhone 4, Motorola XT910, and Gionees own Elife S5.5.
As far as the thinness of the mysterious newcomer is concerned, we reckon that it will come even closer to the magical 5mm barrier (Elife S5.5 is 5.55mm thin). Going below it appears far-fetched at the moment, as device too thin would have to make do with small battery and compromised handling ergonomics.

Sailmaker's roping palm, 1888
Contributed by an individual through Maine Historical Society
This tool is worn on the hand and used to push a sailmaker's needle through heavy material, often through multiple layers. The end of the needle fits into one of the indentations on the "eye," the round metal part of the palm.
This roping palm is used for heavier work such as sewing bolt rope around the edge of the sails, working with leather, or hand sewing grommets. With this work, twine is wrapped around the "horn" to pull and tighten each stitch. A smaller, lighter seaming palm would be used for hand-stitching panels of canvas together.
Amos Perkins Lord, a late nineteenth and early twentieth century sailmaker in Camden, owned the palm.

DECORAH, Iowa Two people were taken to northeastern Iowa hospitals after their car collided with a semi about 10 miles north of Decorah.
According to an Iowa State Patrol crash report, the car was headed westbound on 350th Street and the truck, from the Postville, Iowa-based Primestar, was traveling northbound on Highway 52. The car failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the truck broadside, according to the report.
At least one of the victims in the car was airlifted to a nearby hospital with undisclosed injuries.
Both Nestor Guerra Castellanos, 21, of Decorah, and Wilson Garcia Ordonez, 22, of Decorah, were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. The driver of the truck, 55-year-old Thomas Martin, was uninjured, the report said.
The Winneshiek County Sheriff's Office, the Winneshiek County Ambulance Service, the Decorah Fire Department, and Med Link of LaCrosse all assisted State Patrol in the crash.

If we were compiling a list of pointless special edition cars, this Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows would be a strong contender.
Aside from the Corvette already selling in penny numbers in the UK, hands up who knows who Ron Fellows is?
Ah, not many of you.
Well, he's a Canadian racing driver who has helped Corvette become a highly successful team in endurance racing, and the company felt like marking his achievements.
The Z06 bearing his name only comes in white with a full-width racing spoiler on the rear, and Fellows' signature inside and out.
Only 33 of these cars have been set aside for European Corvette customers with a price of £69,197.
The saving grace of the Ron Fellows limited edition is that it's still a Corvette Z06 underneath with a seven-litre V8, a 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 199mph.
But then you get all that with the standard Z06 that costs £62,695.

For new entrepreneurs, I'm a fan of The Founder Institute, of which I'm a mentor. Members build camaraderie with fellow start-up entrepreneurs, and learn valuable skills to launch a business. Many times, business owners don't even know fellow entrepreneurs before they join. Having that kind of network helps you learn from each other's progress and roadblocks.
2. Form a personal board of advisors. CEOs routinely put together a board of advisors, which is helpful from a business standpoint. However, you may still need to be "on" with that group. Instead, look for those with whom you can speak openly and form your own informal advisory group. These can be peers in different divisions, or similar companies, or even retired industry professionals. You may even be able to tap into the advice of a trusted colleague who reports to you. The point is to have 4-5 people you can go to regularly to bounce around ideas, discuss fears and challenges, and gain perspective.
3. Get a coach or a mentor. Of course, as a coach, I have a strong bias for the value of working with a leadership coach. In defense of this point, I worked with a coach for years before I became one. One of the reasons a coach is helpful is because he or she can discuss issues with no vested interest in the client's decision — unlike nearly everyone else in their life. A good coach helps you see blind spots and get underneath issues, not just attack them at the surface.
That said, a coach isn't for everyone. Often, you can find a mentor who serves the same function in an unpaid relationship. Finding a leader with past experience relevant to yours, who is motivated to be your mentor, can be a big advantage. That person knows how hard it is to be in your shoes because they were there once. Perhaps it's why they'll jump in to help you now.

Human Evolutionary Psychology by Louise Barrett, Robin Dunbar and John Lycett, Princeton, $29.95, ISBN 0691096228
SITTING in Robin Dunbar's office at the University of Liverpool earlier this year, I couldn't resist asking him whether he had considered changing the name of his department from "Evolutionary Psychology" to something that might be taken more seriously in scientific circles. EP continues to grab newspaper headlines with "sexy" subjects such as attraction, risk taking, creativity and rape. But is it really science? This book, the first comprehensive text in the field, should persuade even the most hardened sceptics that it is. Written with students in mind,

Indonesia's military has taken delivery of three Bell 412 EP (enhanced performance) utility helicopters following modifications performed at PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI).
The three helicopters will serve in the troop transport role, said PTDI in a statement. Two are going to the Indonesian army and one to the navy.
The three helicopters are part of an order for seven Bell 412s that were delivered to PTDI in a green condition - with no interior fittings - during late 2011 and early 2012.
Bell originally announced an order for five aircraft in early December 2011 and subsequently Indonesia executed an option for two more. Of the seven aircraft, four will go to the army and three to the navy.
The work done by PTDI is believed to include the addition of tactical radios and weather radars.

Inside The LS7
The LS7 reintroduced the 427ci engine to the Corvette lineup in 2006. Unlike the previous 427 engine, which was a big-block design, the 7.0-liter LS7 is a small-block V-8-the largest displacement small-block ever produced by Chevrolet and GM, and a tribute to its 50 years as a performance icon.
The Z06-only LS7 is easily identified under the hood by red engine covers with black lettering. The LS7 shares the same basic Gen IV V-8 architecture as the Corvette's 6.0-liter LS2, but it uses a different cylinder block casting with pressed-in steel cylinder liners to accommodate the engine's larger diameter, 104.8mm-wide cylinder bores. Compared with the LS2, the LS7 also has a different front cover, oil pan, exhaust manifolds, and cylinder heads, among many other components.
Internally, the LS7's reciprocating components make use of racing-derived lightweight technology, including titanium connecting rods and intake valves, to help boost horsepower and rpm capability. The rpm fuel shut-off limit is 7,100 rpm. The LS7's details include:
* Dry-sump oiling system
* Unique cylinder block casting with large, 104.8mm bores and pressed-in cylinder liners
* Forged steel main bearing caps
* Forged steel crankshaft
* Titanium connecting rods with 101.6mm stroke
* Cast aluminum flat-top pistons
* 11.0:1 compression
* High-lift camshaft
* Racing-derived CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads with titanium intake valves and sodium-filled exhaust valves
* Low-restriction air intake system
* Hydroformed exhaust headers with unique "quad flow" collector flanges
Z06 Drivetrain And Chassis
The Corvette Z06's powertrain and drivetrain systems are matched to the LS7's performance capability. The light, four-into-one headers discharge into new, close-coupled catalytic converters and through to new bi-modal mufflers. The mufflers each feature a vacuum-actuated outlet valve, which controls exhaust noise during low-load operation but opens for maximum power.
At the rear of the LS7 engine, a single-mass flywheel and lightweight, high-capacity clutch channel torque to the rear transaxle. The six-speed manual transmission has been strengthened to handle the LS7's increased torque load. The transmission includes a pump that sends transmission fluid to the front radiator for cooling. Upon its return, the fluid removes additional heat from the differential lube before returning to the transmission. The six-speed transmission connects to a limited-slip differential with enlarged ring-and-pinion gears. Stronger axle half-shafts with tougher universal joints transmit power to the rear wheels.
The Z06 has a unique aluminum body structure for optimum stiffness and light weight for the fixed-roof body style. Perimeter rails are one-piece hydroformed aluminum members featuring cast suspension nodes, which replace many welded steel components on other Corvette models. Other castings, stampings, and extrusions are combined into the innovative structure with state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.
Advanced structural composites featuring carbon fiber are bonded to the aluminum structure. The wider front wheelhouses, for example, are carbon composites, and the passenger compartment floors combine carbon-fiber skins with an ultra-lightweight balsa wood core.
The Z06 has a new magnesium cradle that serves as the attachment point for the engine and some front suspension components. Magnesium is lighter than aluminum yet incredibly strong. The magnesium cradle helps improve the front-to-rear weight distribution, as do carbon-fiber front fenders and wheelhouses. Engineers also moved the battery from underhood to a position in the rear cargo area, behind one of the rear wheels.
The mass reductions are offset by some added performance enablers, including dry-sump lubrication, exhaust system with outlet valves, larger wheels and tires, larger brakes, and larger roll stabilizers.
