Clarke, Philippa J., Patrick M. O'Malley, John E. Schulenberg, and Lloyd Johnston. 2010. "Midlife Health and Socioeconomic Consequences of Persistent Overweight Across Early Adulthood: Findings From a National Survey of American Adults (1986-2008)." American Journal of Epidemiology, 172(5): 540-548.
The health consequences of obesity and overweight have been well documented, but less research has examined their social and economic consequences. This paper examines the long-term consequences of early adult overweight for midlife health and socioeconomic attainment using prospective nationally representative panel data from American adults in the Monitoring the Future Study (1986-2008). Growth mixture models identified 2 distinct latent classes of trajectories of body mass index (BMI) from age 19 to 35 years: a persistently overweight class (BMI > 25 kg/m(2)) and a second class exhibiting more moderate growth in BMI to age 35 years. Women (odds ratio (OR) = 2.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.39, 3.36) and those from a lower childhood socioeconomic position (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.30, 2.24) were more likely to be in the persistently overweight class. Compared with those in the moderately increasing BMI class, those in the persistently overweight class were more likely to have a chronic health problem at age 40 years (OR = 2.74, 95% CI: 2.20, 3.43), to have no further education beyond high school (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.69), and to have a higher odds of receiving welfare or unemployment compensation at age 40 years (OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.49, 2.04). These findings highlight the importance of addressing persistent obesity and overweight early in the life course.

All round decent London hotel
Posted Jan 18, 2015Pros: all the above, also 24 hour residents bar
Cons: I couldn't get an answer from reception on the telephone after 8pm. However I suspect this may have been because staff were serving at the bar also.
Location: Just by Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate tube station
Reception staff friendly and efficient, phoned the room about 5 minutes after checking in to confirm whether everything was ok which was a nice touch. Room was spacious and clean, especially considering it is central London. Lovely and reasonable Italian restaurant around the corner which was recommended. They also do pizza to take away. Bed very comfortable, so much so I didn't want to get up.

Fast Company has another great article today, about an innovative program in Des Moines. Local businesses donated space and some supplies, and the school board agreed to set up a school on the location. The school is connected via walkways to the local office buildings, and programs are scheduled around lunchtime for parents and kids.
Wow. Talk about your killer app. I thought I had it pretty good - work and home are within walking distance, and my son's daycare is a 5 minute drive away. But I'm feeling distinct pangs of envy for the parents whose children are within walking distance during the day, that's fantastic.
Way to go Des Moines! (now how often do you get to say something like that, eh?)
It makes me wonder how we'll look at work/life balance and childcare in 20 years. How will technology affect it? I already know of one daycare center with fingerprint identification for front-door security and webcams so that parents can check up on their children during the day - where will we go from there?
For years, Fischer-Price has had on site day care for employee's kids. For the company, it's a bonus...it's also their test lab. They give new toys to the kids to see how they use them. Somethings have surprised the designers. Many toys have also flopped.
That is so spiffy, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if they publish the 'flop' toys anywhere, that would be interesting to see...

I have three James Monroe Bush's on my file. One was born around 1872 and no wife listed or death place he is son of Jacob Anderson Bush. another born 1845 wife was Fronia Gurley is son of Phillip Bush, the last one is born 1875 and he is the son of William Rippeto Bush. This James Monroe Bush my records show he died the next year in 1876. Seems like James Monroe Bush is a family name. The William Bush born 1805 I am not sure about. I have a william Bush in our file born 1810 I have no information on him except he went west at age 21. His parents were Mary Rippeto and John Bush. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Susan Notify Administrator about this message?

Minister's Moment: Counting Our Blessings
A little girl watched as her grandfather hitched up his mule to plow his garden.
"Is that mule a Christian?" she asked. "Why would you think that?" her puzzled grandpa replied. The little girl, staring at the strange beast answered, "Because his face is so long!"
Christians should be the most joyous, happy, and thankful people on God's green earth. Yet often our lives do not reflect that joy, our speech does not confess it, and our faces do not show it.

The Internal Revenue Service has one more set of improprieties to address, as the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reported in late June that IRS oversight for employee use of credit cards is insufficient, making the agency vulnerable for abuse.
In the report, TIGTA said the agency lacks a system to detect improper purchases that results in appropriate action, does not cancel cards before an employee leaves and does not have standards for what constitutes a split purchase between the agency and employees.
"The IRS does not have the controls in place to provide assurance that improper purchases do not occur and appropriate corrective action is taken," the report said. "Enhanced internal controls would provide greater assurance that IRS resources are being used more effectively and efficiently."
Among TIGTA recommendations was including in their guidelines that accounts be closed before employee departure, reducing pending transactions and defining what constitutes a split purchase. IRS management agreed with all 11 recommendations, saying they will implement all corrective actions. The agency said that it already has begun evaluating all referrals related to potential abuse, which was one of the recommendations.
"The majority of IRS cardholders appear to use their purchase cards properly," the report said. "However, TIGTA identified some instances of inappropriate use that include improper decorative and give-away items for managers' meetings and Combined Federal Campaign fundraising events."

Supposedly the IRS is supposed to be looking for financial (tax) fraud in others but apparently is unable to stop it within their own ranks. Before that we heard that they were wasting tax dollars on frivilous activities, and before that it was their political harrassment scandal. Since we have not seen people getting fired or prosecuted for their unethical and/or illegal actions, I doubt that we will see anything serious done about this latest issue either.
I was wondering what card was being talked about and the very last paragraph implies PURCHASE. But the article is not clear if it is the purchase or travel card (which some folks call a purchase card also) that is at issue. The purchase card would make sense to make a fuss about since it is really a company credit card, however the employee TRAVEL card is in the employee's name and tied to his credit report, it is his credit hit if not paid (so says the fine print on mine), so what does it matter what is put on it? Only that it is paid off and the card company is happy.

From the mission statement of SGK for the cure:"Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever." But she does not do everything in her power. She refuses to support embryonic stem cell research, and even though she has apologized for cutting off funding from Planned Parenthood (4 star rating) she has not confirmed that the funding will continue in the future. The apology was self-serving and only in response to a huge negative reaction.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries climbed, pushing 30-year yields down the most in more than a year, as Italian and Spanish bonds fell on concern Europe will be unable to curb its sovereign debt crisis and Japan sold yen to stem its rally.
Benchmark 10-year notes rose for a second day as MF Global Holdings Ltd. filed for bankruptcy protection after making bets on European sovereign debt. Ten-year yields have dropped 28 basis points in two days on speculation the Federal Reserve will buy more debt in coming months to support the economy. The U.S. raised its estimate for fourth-quarter government borrowing.
"It's a risk-off trade," said Justin Lederer, an interest-rate strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald LP in New York, one of the 22 primary dealers that trade directly with the Fed. "The rally started off with the bleaker picture in Europe and the announcement by Japan about the intervention. People are not as comfortable with the situation in Europe, and there's pressure there."
Thirty-year bond yields tumbled 25 basis points, or 0.25 percentage point, to 3.13 percent at 5:26 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. It was the biggest intraday drop since May 6, 2010. The 3.75 percent securities due in August 2041 increased 4 30/32, or $49.38 per $1,000 face amount, to 111 30/32.
Ten-year note yields fell 20 basis points to 2.11 percent.
October Loss
Treasuries have lost 1.4 percent in October, the most since December 2010, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch data. German bunds have fallen 1.5 percent.
Stocks dropped as investors sought safety amid concern accords by European leaders last week won't be enough to keep the sovereign debt crisis from spreading. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index slid 2.5 percent.
The Treasury increased its estimate for fourth-quarter government borrowing by $21 billion to $305 billion, reflecting in part lower revenue and higher spending. That set the stage for the department's quarterly refunding announcement later this week. Officials on Nov. 2 will announce their plans for sales of longer-term notes and bonds during the current quarter.
MF Global confirmed it was suspended as a Fed primary dealer. The New York Fed said the firm has been suspended from new business with the central bank and until it establishes that it's "fully capable of discharging the responsibilities" required. The decision was noted in a statement on the regulator's website.
The New York-based futures broker tumbled 67 percent last week and its bonds started trading at distressed levels. The company's regulated U.S. broker-dealer unit, MF Global Inc., didn't file for bankruptcy.
European-Debt Bets
MF Global owns $6.3 billion of Italian, Spanish, Belgian, Portuguese and Irish debt, it said in an Oct. 25 presentation. Concern that it might lose money on the holdings amid Europe's debt crisis led to demands from regulators to boost capital, credit downgrades, margin calls and bankruptcy, MF Global President Bradley Abelow said in an affidavit.
The firm's turmoil stirred discussion of the 2008 global financial crisis. Bear Stearns Cos., once the fifth-biggest U.S. securities firm, was acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in March 2008 in a transaction brokered by the Fed after the firm lost the ability to borrow. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history six months later.
'Bad Memories'
"When the market gets news like this, it rekindles bad memories," said James Kochan, chief fixed-income strategist at Wells Fargo Fund Management LLC in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "The typical reaction is to buy Treasuries."
U.S. government bonds gained as the yen slumped the most on an intraday basis since 2008 against the dollar, dropping more than 4 percent after earlier strengthening to a post-World War II record of 75.35. The yen weakened after Japan sold the currency, whose strength threatens the nation's exporters. Japan is the second-largest overseas holder of U.S. debt behind China.
Treasuries also rose as some investors bought debt to increase the duration of their portfolios to match benchmarks at the end of the month, such as the Barclays Plc U.S. Treasury Index. Duration measures price sensitivity to changes in yield, and is partly a function of maturity.
The Barclays index shows estimated duration forecast to extend by 0.09 years for October, compared with 0.08 years at the end of September, according to the firm, a primary dealer.
Italian 10-year yields added as much as 16 basis points to 6.18 percent. Spanish 10-year note yields rose as much as 15 basis points to touch 5.66 percent, the highest since Aug. 8.
'Reality Check'
Treasuries slid and stocks surged on Oct. 27 after European officials announced a plan to resolve the region's debt crisis. They boosted their rescue fund to 1 trillion euros ($1.4 trillion) and persuaded bondholders to take 50 percent losses on Greek debt. They also agreed on a recapitalization of banks.
Today "is a reality check of that market after the temporary risk-on trade last week," said Christopher Bury, co- head of fixed-income rates in New York at the primary dealer Jefferies & Co.
The Fed opens a two-day meeting tomorrow. Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen has also said the central bank should be prepared to do more to spur economic growth. The Fed previously purchased $2.3 trillion in debt in two rounds of quantitative easing.
The jobless rate held at 9.1 percent in October, economists in a Bloomberg survey forecast before data due Nov. 4.
At its last session the central bank agreed on the nine- month maturity-extension program, called Operation Twist after a similar effort in the 1960s.
The central bank will buy about $45 billion in long-term Treasuries and sell $43 billion in shorter-term debt in November, according to its website. Its first operation this week is a sale tomorrow of up to $8.75 billion of Treasuries tomorrow due in 2012 and 2013.

Mesmerizing Ferrofluid Dances to Music

The second installment in an ongoing series of experiments, the film was made by Singapore based photographer/videographer Afiq Omar, who edited it with a distinctly dark and rhythmic style that's as intriguing as it is creepy. Omar's goal was to create something using 'analog' effects, so what you see here uses few modifications after shooting, showing the utter weirdness of his subject material and his talent as a videographer.

Partying in Rio: A Tilt-Shift Carnival Film
Music, costumes, masquerades, dancing, food and five days of all night partying describes Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Film director and musician Jarbas Agnelli, in partnership with photographer and filmmaker, Keith Loutit, set out to capture this amazing event on camera in a way it has never been seen before. In the five days of carnival, the pair shot 167,978 photos, then with masterful editing and a soundtrack composed by Agnelli himself, they composed a tilt-shift style video from their stills titled The City of Samba. The final product is nothing less than amazing. The original score fits perfectly with what is being seen and conveys all of the right emotions. Watching the video, you forget that they are still shots and the effect of the tilt-shift makes everything look like claymation. A genius way to change the regular perspective of a larger than life festival. [Read more…]

US 7442342 B2 Abstract A biochip holder is disclosed, the holder including a means to receive a biochip, a vacuum port in communication with the received biochip, and a vacuum source connected to the vacuum port. Liquid from flushing of the biochip is pulled by vacuum force into a vacuum port and can be collected in order to prevent cross-contamination of the biochip. A method of collecting fluid from such a biochip is also disclosed.
Claims(2) 1. A biochip holder comprising:
a means for receiving a biochip;
a vacuum source;
at least one vacuum port connecting the vacuum source to a surface of the biochip;
a base having a bottom surface, the receiving means configured to position the biochip at an acute angle relative to the bottom surface of the base;
a retaining means having a retaining roller located adjacent the receiving means, wherein the retaining roller applies resistance to the biochip; and
the receiving means comprises parallel rails, wherein the parallel rails define a channel on the base, the channel having a recess into which the retaining roller is inserted, the retaining roller comprising a cylindrical roller and an o-ring.
2. The biochip holder according to
Description Advances in molecular biology have seen a dramatic increase in the use and need of high capacity assays in testing and analyzing biological substrates or reactions. Existing technology utilizes the binding of molecules contained within a biologically reactive sample fluid, known as a target molecule, onto molecules contained within biologically reactive sites, known as probe molecules. Binding commonly occurs on an apparatus referred to as a biochip, which includes one or more ordered microscopic arrays of biologically reactive sites immobilized on the surface of a substrate, commonly glass. A biologically reactive site can be created by dispensing a small volume of a fluid containing a biological reagent onto a discrete location on the surface of a substrate Previous assays were originally developed in research laboratories and performed by highly skilled individuals. Adapting these procedures to clinical uses, such as diagnostics, forensics and other applications, has produced the need for equipment and methods that allow less-skilled operators to effectively perform the assays under higher capacity, less stringent assay conditions. Biochips are advantageously used to perform biological reactions on their surface, however, most existing apparatus are difficult to handle during such common practices as flushing the reaction site, often resulting in cross-contamination of reaction sites. A biochip with two or more assays is preferably flushed with a fluid prior to removal of its various layers in order to prevent cross-contamination between reaction sites. The fluid is typically pushed out by pipetting the appropriate volume of flush fluid into one port of the reaction chamber, causing fluid to exit a second port of the reaction chamber located separate from the first. The flushing process is messy in that the exiting fluid spills over the edge of the slide and can itself lead to cross-contamination if the exiting fluid enters the port of an adjacent reaction chamber. It is desired to remove the exiting fluid as quickly and efficiently as possible to reduce the possibility of cross-contamination. Additionally, removal of the various layers requires some force which must be resisted by holding the biochip as a whole The biochip is difficult to hold by hand as it often has sharp edges and can be an awkward shape and size. Bobbling of the slide during removal can also result in cross-contamination or the dropping or damaging of the biochip itself. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus to hold the biochip during flushing and collecting of the exiting fluid to avoid cross-contamination. It is another object of this invention to provide an apparatus that allows for the quick and efficient collection of exiting fluid during flushing of the biochip. It is also an object of the present invention to provide means for holding the biochip to provide resistance during removal of the various layers of the biochip. It is a further object of the invention to provide an apparatus for resisting force on the biochip during removal of the various layers. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method of collecting the exiting fluid when flushing a biochip. A brief description of the structure of a biochip is helpful in understanding the present invention which relates to manipulation and use of the biochip. Exemplary biochips suitable for use in this invention are disclosed in PCT Publication No. WO 01/54814 A2. Referring to Each reaction chamber also commonly includes an inlet port 14 and an outlet port 16. The ports 14 and 16 are positioned over the substrate 10 adjacent to and in communication with the reaction chamber 12 so that fluid introduced into the inlet port 14 will flow into the reaction chamber 12 and eventually out of the outlet port 16. Such ports are preferably shaped to accept a plastic pipette tip. The ports are preferably positioned so that the inlet port 14 and the outlet port 16 are at opposite ends of the reaction chamber 12 to encourage flow of the introduced liquid through the entire reaction chamber. These ports can be used for the introduction of sample fluid or wash solutions Fluid is introduced into the inlet port 14 and exits through the outlet port 16. Fluid flow is typically created by the force of the continual introduction of fluid into the inlet port 14, as the reaction chamber 12 has a limited volume. In previous systems, exiting flush fluid either messily spilled over the edge of the biochip or flowed into other reaction chambers or ports causing cross-contamination. In accordance with the present invention, a biochip holder and a method are provided which encourage the flow of the flushing fluid from the outlet ports of the biochip and collection of the flushing fluid to prevent its causing cross-contamination Generally, the technique and apparatus involve the use of a vacuum port in proximity to and downhill from the exit port of the reaction chamber. Generally, as shown in The vacuum passage 70 is capable of receiving connection to a vacuum source which then acts on the vacuum chamber 68. In a preferred embodiment, the vacuum passage 70 is a threaded opening which can receive a threaded fitting for connecting tubing leading to an external vacuum flask (not shown), a technique well-known to those skilled in the art Activation of a vacuum source attached to the vacuum flask thereby acts upon the tubing which thereby acts upon the vacuum chamber 68 via the vacuum passage 70 Drawing a vacuum on the vacuum chamber 68 acts upon the vacuum ports 66 and draws fluid from the biochip 6, particularly the vicinity of the outlet ports 16, toward the vacuum chamber 68 via the vacuum ports 66. The vacuum source acting on the biochip holder via the vacuum flask draws flush fluid from the vicinity of the outlet ports 16, into the vacuum ports 66, which leads into the vacuum chamber 68 As would be understood by one skilled in the art, the fluid is then preferably sucked out of the vacuum chamber 68 through the vacuum passage 70, through tubing leading to the external vacuum flask where the fluid would come to rest and be collected The flask is preferably of sufficient volume to collect fluid from several biochips before requiring the disconnection and emptying of the vacuum flask. The use of an external vacuum flask to collect the flush fluid increases the number of biochips that can be flushed between emptying of the collected fluid and reduces the chances of collected fluid leaking back to the biochip. Alternatively, the vacuum chamber 68 can collect the flush fluid where the vacuum source is directly connected to the vacuum passage 70 or lacks an external vacuum flask In such a case, the vacuum passage 70 is located so that fluids received in the vacuum chamber 68 will fall to the bottom of the vacuum chamber due to gravity and are less likely to be sucked into the vacuum source through the vacuum passage 70. The vacuum chamber 68 would then preferably have sufficient volume to collect fluid from an appropriate number of flushings of the reaction chambers 12 on the biochip 6 without filling the vacuum chamber 68. Overfilling of the vacuum chamber 68 can result in the collected fluid leaking back out of the vacuum ports 66 onto the biochip 6 or interfering with the vacuum passage 70, blocking or inhibiting the removal of fluid from the biochip or collection of such fluid. The vacuum chamber is preferably emptied of collected fluids between uses or before insertion of the next biochip for flushing Most of the components of the biochip holder 60, including the vacuum chamber 68, receiving means, and the vacuum ports 66 are preferably made of plastic or similar material that resists chemical attack and reaction and is lightweight. In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in As shown in The receiving means, such as parallel rails 64, preferably hold the biochip 6 at an angle with respect to the bottom surface 72 of the base 62. It should be noted that while it is preferable that the biochip be at an angle, it is not required and the invention can still be applied to biochip holders where the biochip is held generally parallel to the bottom surface of the base, as shown in further embodiments. In a preferred embodiment, the biochip 6 is at about a 10-30 degree angle, preferably about a 15-25 degree angle, most preferably at about a 20 degree angle from the bottom surface 72 of the base, such that when the base 62 is set on a table or work surface the biochip 6 itself will be angled, allowing gravity to pull the fluid toward the vacuum ports 66 The angling of the biochip can be accomplished in various ways including, but not limited to, having the receiving means or parallel rails lie in a plane at the desired angle within the base, having the top surface of the base itself angled, or assembling components of the base such that the rails lie in a plane angled from the bottom of the base. The base 62 can be one continuous piece or can be made up of more than one component. In the embodiment shown in It is to be understood that if the biochip 6 is held on an angle during flushing, it is preferable that such angle allow the gravitational fluid flow from the biochip to be directed toward the vacuum ports 66, generally downhill. As the bottom surface 72 of the base is likely to be on a surface generally perpendicular to the directional force of gravity, the biochip 6 will preferably be placed at an acute angle relative to the bottom surface 72 of the base As shown in As shown in Use of this preferred embodiment occurs as follows. The biochip holder 60 is placed on a working surface or support surface The biochip 6, which is desired to be flushed, is inserted into the parallel rails 64 or receiving means of the biochip holder 60, as shown in The biochip holder is preferably made up of more than one component. Such holders are preferred because they can have one or more of the following advantages: they are easier to fabricate, easier to clean; allow the user to place the biochip receptacle flat on a lab bench for loading; and enable the user to hold the biochip receptacle in one hand, separate from the entire biochip holder, while peeling the various layers from the biochip itself with the other hand. In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in The biochip receptacle 284 is preferably rectangular having a width sufficient to accommodate the length of a biochip 6. The biochip receptacle 284 preferably can hold several biochips simultaneously along the length of the receptacle, as shown in The biochip receptacle 284 includes a multiplicity of holes which traverse the entire depth of the biochip receptacle 284 from a top surface 283 to a bottom surface 285. The holes include inlet holes 287 and outlet holes 289 The biochips are inserted into the receiving means of the biochip receptacle such that the top of the biochip and its inlet ports 14 and outlet ports 16 are aligned with the inlet holes 287 and outlet holes 289, respectively, on the bottom surface 285 of the biochip receptacle 284. As such, each inlet hole 287 is aligned with each inlet port 14 of the biochip 6 and each outlet hole 289 is aligned with each outlet port 16. The introduction of fluid, preferably by pipette 200, is done through an inlet hole 287 which leads to an inlet port 14 on the biochip 6. The port plate 267 is also preferably rectangular having similar dimensions to the biochip receptacle 284 such that the receptacle 284 can preferably be placed over and on top of the port plate 267. When the receptacle 284 is placed over the port plate 267, vacuum ports 266 in the plate are generally aligned with the outlet holes 289 of the receptacle 284 and the outlet ports 16 of the biochip. The vacuum ports 266 traverse the depth of the port plate 267. Preferably, elastomeric contact rings 263 are generally inserted in the vacuum ports 266 on the biochip side to enhance the seal between the vacuum port 266, the biochip 6 and the biochip receptacle 284. The chamber plate 269 is also preferably rectangular having similar dimensions to the biochip receptacle 284 and port plate 267 such that the receptacle 284 and port plate 267 can preferably be placed over and on top of the vacuum plate 269. Vacuum plate 269 includes vacuum chamber 268 which is preferably a groove in the plate. The groove, however, does not traverse the entire chamber plate, but rather creates the vacuum chamber 268 in the chamber plate 269. The vacuum chamber 268 is preferably designed such that each vacuum port 266 is in fluid communication with the vacuum chamber 268, such that fluid coming from the outlet ports 16, through the contact rings 263, through the chamber ports 266 will then enter the vacuum chamber 268. The vacuum chamber is also connected to a vacuum passage 270 which leads from the vacuum chamber 268 through the chamber plate 269. The vacuum passage leads to the vacuum source, preferably via an external vacuum flask (not shown). The vacuum source acting on the biochip holder 260 via the vacuum flask draws flush fluid out of the outlet ports 16 through the contact rings 263 into the vacuum ports 266 which lead to the vacuum chamber 268. As would be understood by one skilled in the art, the fluid is then preferably sucked out of the vacuum chamber 268 through the vacuum passage 270, through tubing leading to the external flask where the fluid would come to rest and be collected, as previously described. Use of this preferred embodiment occurs as follows. At least one biochip 6 is inserted into the receiving means (not shown) of the biochip receptacle 284 such that the inlet ports 14 of the biochip 6 align with the inlet holes 287 of the receptacle 284 and the outlet ports 16 align with the outlet holes 289. The receptacle 284 is then placed on top of the port plate 267 which is on top of the chamber plate 268 such that the holes 287 and 289 of the receptacle 284 align with the ports 14 and 16 of the biochip 6, the contact rings 263, the vacuum ports 266 and the vacuum chamber 268. Once assembled, flushing of each reaction chamber 12 occurs by the introduction of fluid into the inlet port 14 of each reaction chamber. Fluid is preferably introduced via a pipette 200, through an inlet hole 287 leading to the inlet port 14. Introduction of the fluid then causes exiting of the flush fluid from the outlet port 16. The outlet hole 289 allows air in the vicinity of the outlet port 16 of the biochip 6. The air entering from outlet hole 289 raises the air velocity as the air passes above the outlet port 16, thus drawing fluid with it toward the vacuum port 266. This eliminates the need for angling of the biochip relative to gravity to pull the fluid away from the port, as is preferable in the previous embodiment. The vacuum source (not shown) can be activated at any time during use of the holder, but preferably is started before the actual flushing occurs to minimize the chance of exiting fluid flowing anywhere other than into the vacuum ports 266. The vacuum source acts upon the vacuum chamber 268 and hence the vacuum ports 266 to more quickly and completely draw the exiting fluid through the vacuum ports and into the vacuum chamber 268. The fluid preferably continues to be drawn by a vacuum force through the vacuum passage 270 to an external vacuum flask, where it is collected. This is continued until each reaction chamber 12 has been sufficiently flushed. At such point, the vacuum source can be turned off and the biochip 6 removed for the biochip holder 260 when desired. It is to be understood that this invention can be adapted or modified for use in automated systems or numerous arrays of multiple biochip processing systems. The present invention additionally includes a method of collecting exiting flush fluid from a biochip. The biochip 6 is first inserted into the biochip holder 60, preferably in the receiving means, such as parallel rails 64. The biochip 6 is then flushed with the appropriate fluid by insertion of such fluid into the inlet port 14. The resulting fluid exiting the outlet port 16 is then pulled toward vacuum ports 66 which are in communication with a vacuum chamber 68 by way of force created by a vacuum source acting on the vacuum chamber 68 through a vacuum passage 70. The fluid is then collected, preferably in an external vacuum flask connected by hose to the vacuum passage, or in the vacuum chamber itself In addition to collection of the flushing fluid, the biochip holder 60 has additional functions and uses. Retaining means are integrated into the biochip holder to keep the biochip from sliding out accidentally during flushing of the biochip or handling of the biochip, including removal of the label layer and/or the flexible layer after flushing. Removal of the various layers requires some force which can be awkward and botched if done when holding the biochip by hand. As such, the biochip holder 60 includes retaining means 90, as shown in The retaining means 90 is in communication with the biochip 6 when it is fully inserted into the receiving means or parallel rails 64 to hold the biochip in that position. Therefore, the retaining means 90 is preferably located in or near the receiving means or in the channel 74 on the top surface 76 of the base 62. One of the preferred retaining means is a retaining roller 92, which includes a cylindrical roller (not shown) surrounded by an o-ring 94 As shown in Other retaining means are possible including blocking the entrance to the receiving means or parallel rails 64, integrating the retaining means into the receiving means as by clips or resilient material, such as a leaf spring or snap, making up the receiving means, pushing the biochip into position by clamp or spring loaded receiving means, or other similar means The retaining means in conjunction with the receiving means preferably resist force in all directions so the biochip cannot be lifted up (vertically) out of the holder nor easily slide horizontally out of the holder. The retaining means should be sufficient to resist force while removing various layers but not so great as to cause problems in removal of the biochip when desired. The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and it is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise embodiment disclosed. It is intended that the scope of the invention not be limited by the specification, but be defined by the claims as set forth below Patent Citations

4.5 Bethesda should be ashamed cornell1 | 29/01/2012 | See all cornell1's reviews (51) this got game of the year but i think its far from it ... the game is full of bugs !! not only that got bored of it very fast .
4.5 Too much time needed to play 89654123 | 26/01/2012 | See all 89654123's reviews (56) Ok, this is an RPG, but it's so boring. I played WoW for years, so I know how RPG's work but it's just so monotonous to walk around doing minor stuff all the time. To get the most out of the game you need to talk to everybody and there are so many books lying around with stories and tales to soak up that you'd need a thousand hours to play this game to the max. I just don't have that time. I got a ps3 for casual gaming, but this just reminds me of Fallout 3 on PC. I played that for 50 hours and it was just the same... walk to new area, root around for stuff to pick up and sell to the traders, upgrade something or other and move on. Repeatedly. Where's the game? Where's my enjoyment? Technically it's impressive... it's just too dull and tedious for me to enjoy. If I wanted to sit down for a six hour gaming session, I'd go back to my PC.
4.5 Fantastic GeoFau | 24/01/2012 | See all GeoFau's reviews (65) This is a fantastic game but despite all of the praise its been getting, like most Bethesda games it is a bit buggy.Pros:Fantastic GraphicsPlenty to doGameplay is fantasticDesigns of the locations are very well doneSo many extra quests etc to do after the initial story lineCons:Is a bit buggy (since it is so huge)No online which was a hugely anticipated feature to this gameI would defiantly recommend this
4.5 Great Game Smithies666 | 22/01/2012 | See all Smithies666's reviews (1) i dont see what everyone is complaining about, i've played hours and hours on this game and seen very few of the bugs that people have mentioned, yes, it does lag a bit but only if you play it constantly for hours on end. the only major bug i encountered came the day i got it, but the update the day after resolved it.Well worth the purchase, i was hooked almost instantly and i've never played a game like this before, but yeah, if you play it right, and have a rest every now and again, you wont have a problem.
4.5 No Game Break Here gotyrnumber | 22/01/2012 | See all gotyrnumber's reviews (31) Not sure if a successful patch had been released before I started playing (around 20th December 2011), but I am 90 hours in, level 34 - no problems.My game is not broken, still 100% playable. All I have encountered is very minimal frame rate issues upon loading from a fast travel that only lasts a few seconds.I had so many more issues with Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, and the save files on these games were considerably smaller.So, considering this, Skyrim has blown me away with its capacity to cope with itself.How anyone can complain I do not know.Stunning game, very addictive and mind blowing in scale.
4.5 really good azura500 | 19/01/2012 | See all azura500's reviews (8) amazing game but you will 100% get board of it after 50 missions, and it takes some time to load, and also loads on so many occasions.
4.5 A bugged mess! 75hastings69 | 18/01/2012 | See all 75hastings69's reviews (2) This game should have been fantastic! however it's far from it, in fact it's a real bind to play and gets more frustrating the further you progress.My initial thoughts on this game were of a very polished product that was worthy of all the hype it received, and after the previous Bethesda PS3 outings (FO3, FO NV) I thought it looked like PS3 users were finally being gifted a finished and bug free product, how wrong I was!!!!As you progress into the game bugs and glitches become more prevalent, from small ones that have no gameplay effect (i.e. animals (without wings) suddenly flying and floating around the screen) to ones that completely break the game, for example (but not limited too)... quest givers getting stuck in a diaglogue loop thus not allowing quest lines to further, items dissappearing, if you visit a dungeon and clear it without first being given a specific quest to go to that dungeon it can break quests later on in the main quest lines, but worse of all the Lag/freeze issues all after you pass the 40 hour mark render the game unplayable - I daren't even travel to whiterun anymore for fear of the game freezing yet again!But to top it all off Bethesda are even worse than this bugged product, there is no information or support for PS3 users and the patches that are arriving (slowly) fix minor issues (like the bookcase bug) rather than game breaking major issues such as bugged quests/lag.Save yourself the hassle and don't buy this until PS3 gets patchs that make it actually work!
4.5 One of my top 5 games ever TarantinosHeir | 14/01/2012 | See all TarantinosHeir's reviews (62) Firsty - I know that a lot of people have had big problems with the lag on this game so people are going to be wary of that when they buy it but what you should know is that THERE IS A PATCH COMING THIS MONTH (JANUARY) THAT THE COMPANY HAS SAID WILL FIX EVERYTHING.Anyway i havnt had any problems and im ashamed to say ive spent 110 hours on it. Thats probably the most hours ive spent on any game considering I dont consider myself a "gamer".You will get completely lost in this game and the annoying/good thing about it is that you will try and play the main story but then get sidetracked by 10 hours because you've found something else to do! The game is huge, ive played it for a long time and stil havnt found/been everywhere and still have no where near done all the storylines.The other unique aspect to the game is that you can be whatever you want to be and be better at whatever you want to be better at. I.e. upgrading your magic and being a beast at that instead of using weapons.If you want a good game where you can improve your character and find all sorts of cool weapons and explore for hours then get this.P.s. the graphics are awesome
4.5 it does slow down after a while paul1976 | 11/01/2012 | See all paul1976's reviews (2) i bought the game with great antisapation as it was so clear and detailed but unfortunately i have been playing it for 80 hours or so and it is slow and quite regulary it stops so leave this game alone for the time being
4.5 Great Game KrisC23 | 10/01/2012 | See all KrisC23's reviews (1) I think everyone needs to calm down about the issues that are evolving around the game, every game is not perfect and when its released it will have problems maybe the testers shouldn't be smoking so much weed but ey, so far the game is perfect for the graphics and and the environment you are in and has more life span than any game i can ever remember, i have noticed the lag issues and after the patches i do feel the improvement, they will be bringing out more patches everyone just needs to be patient if you really cant wait for the improvements then create a new player and go off different parts of the world, the game is buggy at the moment but i do appreciate that they have bought out patches and are trying to help everyone out. in my eyes i wont be taking this back if it gets too bad then i whack on bf3 or fifa 12 and wait out for awhile.

Growth in 2014 for six countries in South East Europe was close to zero, according to the latest South East Europe Regular Economic Report (SEE RER).
Weather - in particular unprecedented floods in May and the residual impacts of earlier severe events - was a major factor hindering growth in the region, exposing the overall vulnerability of these economies to extreme weather events.
GFDRR works closely with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), national meteorological and hydrological services, and other partners to help countries modernize their weather, climate, and hydrological information systems
Why Hydrometeorological Services Matter
Hydrometeorological ("hydromet") hazards—such as storms, floods, droughts, and heat and cold waves—are responsible for the greatest proportion of losses from adverse natural events, causing nearly 80 percent of disasters and over 50 percent of disaster-related deaths between 1980 and 2011.
New Report Showcases U.S. Global Leadership in Landmine Clearance and Conventional Weapons Destruction
Qatar Charity Albania recently completed a distribution of 33,000 pieces of clothing and 1,000 school uniforms for more than 2,200 at-risk families; in addition to the distribution of a number of medical supplies and equipment for people with special needs and hospitals as part of its 'Winter Relief in Albania' programming activities. These activities are based on attracting support in the form of donations of clothes and other in-kind items from businesses, Albanian citizens, and expatriates as well as local volunteers.

Tirana, Albania | AFP | Wednesday 11/19/2014 - 10:01 GMT
Three people were killed overnight in northern Albania in severe flooding caused by torrential rains, police said on Wednesday.
A 63-year-old man and his 23-year-old daughter died after their car was carried away by flood waters while they were driving on a mountain road.
Their bodies were found early Wednesday in a canal, some two kilometres (1.2 miles) from the site of the accident, a police statement said.
BRUSSELS, 27 October 2014 - A new cross-border multi-hazard early warning system will be developed in the Western Balkans and Turkey to increase resilience to floods, landslides, droughts and heat-waves which often hit the region and to build on the lessons learnt from the devastating floods of May 2014.
By Biljana Markova
BELGRADE, 1 October 2014 – Following devastating floods and landslides earlier this year affecting over one million people, a major regional insurance conference opens today in Belgrade to highlight the benefits that disaster risk financing can bring to a region where there is a growing culture of disaster risk reduction through implementation of the priorities laid out in the Hyogo Framework for Action.
Nine Balkan militaries agree to jointly assist the civilian population in times of disasters.

Nueva York - El 4 de abril, Día de Acción contra las Minas, la ONU contribuirá a la concientización sobre los efectos devastadores que los restos explosivos de guerra siguen teniendo sobre las comunidades, incluso décadas después de que los conflictos lleguen a su fin.
Este año, tras el anuncio por parte de Jordania y Uganda de que son países libres de minas, que Etiopía y Mozambique esperan poder anunciar que pronto van a seguir su ejemplo, y que otros países están acabando con las municiones en racimo, se está dando un paso más hacia un mundo más seguro.
Le 4 avril, Journée internationale de la lutte antimines, l'ONU aidera à attirer l'attention sur le coût humain dévastateur des restes explosifs de guerre dans certaines communautés, parfois des dizaines d'années après la fin d'un conflit.
Cette année, alors que la Jordanie et l'Ouganda viennent de se déclarer débarrassés de leurs champs de mines, l'Éthiopie et le Mozambique s'apprêtent à annoncer qu'ils devraient bientôt faire de même. Comme d'autres pays sont, eux aussi, en train d'éliminer leurs armes à sous-munitions, le monde est en passe de devenir moins dangereux.
New York - On Mine Action Day on 4 April, the UN will help raise awareness of the devastating toll that explosive remnants of war continue to exact upon communities, sometimes decades after conflicts come to an end.
This year, with Jordan and Uganda recently announcing that they are free of mine fields, Ethiopia and Mozambique expected to announce that they will soon follow suit, and other countries ridding themselves of cluster munitions, we are one step closer to a safer world.
In Syria, violence is ongoing with government bombardments on Aleppo and infighting between rival rebel factions in Deir-ez-Zor and Al-Hasakeh. Between 07-11 February, a temporary ceasefire in the city of Homs allowed for the evacuation of over 1,200 people and the entry of humanitarian convoys into the Old City for the first time in two years.
