...study by Finnish researchers published in the current issue of the journal Human Reproduction finds that transferring a single fresh embryo at a time, followed by subsequent transfers of individual thawed embryos, may be as effective in achieving pregnancy as implanting multiple embryos at once. Using one embryo at a time also cuts medical costs, the study found, saving about $27,000 per live-birth pregnancy...
...beginning of March, I started writing down everything I spend money on. They say one of the simplest ways to lose weight is to keep track of what you eat in a journal. Seeing it there on the page underscores your piggishness. I decided to do the same thing with money, even though I've been tweaking my spending ad hoc for months. Helpful hint No. 1: When you try to save money by going to the supermarket instead of eating out, you probably shouldn't shop at a store called Gourmet Garage. (See the best business deals...
Recording my expenses in a journal kicked things to a whole new level. I always thought I was fairly responsible with money.

According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Consumer Research, shoppers are less likely to spend their dough if they are carrying cash in large denominations. This so-called denomination effect can be a powerful predictor of consumer spending habits. Through a series of experiments, the study shows that if people have an equivalent amount of money, say $100, the folks with a Ben Franklin in their pockets might not part with it, while those carrying Andrew Jacksons and George Washingtons more easily give up the cash.
