...Mayer said. “I guess practice paid off this weekend...Golf’s a game where one weekend you play great and the next you play not so great.” Mayer had the daily low round in Round 1, shooting 70 on the par-70 course. But in Round 2, the Winter Park, Fla. native slipped a little, shooting 78 to finish at +8, good for second. Though he took first, Christensen trailed after Round 1, having shot two over in the first round of play. In Round 2’s competition, Christensen dropped...

At Stanford's fertility clinic, where doctors can carefully select high-quality embryos by growing them in the lab for five days, until the blastocyst stage, instead of the more usual three days, success rates have been on par, if not higher among single transfers, says Westphal. "When I look at our data, in patients with really good blastocysts, the pregnancy rates were comparable," Westphal says. "The singles were just as good if not better in most of the groups."
