...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...
...spectrum. I don't know that any of this speaks badly of us. What we now consider normal - all-natural pet food, expensive veterinary procedures - was just a little while ago considered as excessive and silly as dressing your dog up in a little tuxedo. The first professional journal for feline medicine was only established in the late 1960s. Before that if you went to vet school they didn't teach you about cats, really. Now 40 years later we're doing feline kidney transplants. So the measure of what is ridiculous is a very moving target. And it tends...
...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. I don't have credit-card debt, I put a decent slug of my salary into my 401(k), and even though I spend a ridiculous percentage of my paycheck on housing - I do live in New York City - it's just a one-room apartment. I dropped my laptop and broke the screen a year ago; it still works, so I haven't replaced it. Helpful hint No. 2: ThinkPads are only slightly less rugged than soccer...
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.
