In the days when an a soda float costed less, a 9 year old girl entered a coffee shop and sat at a table. A waiter put the menu in front of her.

“How much is a soda float?”

“One dollar,” replied the waiter.

The little girl pulled her hand out of her cute little pink purse and studied a number of coins in it.

“How much is a bottle of soda?” she inquired. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waiter was a bit impatient.

“75 cents,” he said brusquely.

The little girl again counted the coins. “I’ll have a bottle of soda,” she said. The waiter brought the soda bottle, put the bill on the table and walked away. The girl finished the soda, paid the cashier and departed.

When the waiter returned, he began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what he saw. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 25 cents – his tip.

Jakarta post: Researches have found a technique to quickly assess disoders in babies This new method, published Wednesday in the magazine Science Translational Medicine, is a proof of concept that it's possible to quickly scan a baby's entire DNA and pinpoint a disease-causing mutation in a couple of days instead of the more typical weeks as months. The study investigation to four babies said that the test could be one of the first partical fruits of the revolution in squencing an individual's entire DNA.

The idea behind the test is to take advantage of what is known about disease symptomps to narrow the search for genetic. And that is a good stop in the right direction, said Dr. Joe Gray, an expert in genome analysis at Oregon Health and Science University. "It's a big genome," said Dr. Joe Gray, who was not involved with the study, "How do you know what part of it to search?"

While more research needs to be done before the test is ready for widespread use, he applauded the effort "If people don't push the envelope like this, then we won't get there," Dr. Gray said.

Ryan Lochte and Sun Yang were among the few who weren't concerned about getting wet when heavy rain saturated London Olympic Park on Sunday.

After a week of sunshine, rain, and the forecast of hail on the second day affected the start of tennis on the lawn courts at Wimbledon and made for slippery conditions in the women cycling road race.

It didn't seem to bother the swimmers. Lochte had the second-fastest time in qualifying for the 200-meter freestyle, the morning after his stunning win in a 400-meter individuals medley final.

"I didn't get to bed until like 2 a.m. So Im a little tired, but it was a prelims swim, so I'm not too worried about it," said Lochte, who went out with family and friends to celebrate his victory. Phelps won an unprecedented eight golds at the Beijing Olimpics, but now cant win any more than six in London.

China Sun is on track for a second gold medal after leading qualifiers in the 200 freestyle in 1 minute 46,24 seconds the morning after his victory in the 400 freestyle.

While the weather was bad, there were other blights: a female gymnast from Uzbekistan was provisionally suspended after failing a doping test, the second case of the games. The IOC says Luiza Galiulina tested positive for the diuretic furosemide on Wednesday.
