...Here's where things start to get interesting: A lower price translates into a high potential return for an investor. When the loans were made, an investor who bought them at "par," or the dollar value of the loan, could expect a return of around 7%. That's a more than acceptable rate of return if you believe you will get paid back. But now that defaults are rising on home loans, investors are demanding higher returns to compensate them for the risk that a mortgage will end up delinquent or in foreclosure. A price of $0.26 implies that investor...
...patient and the quality of the embryos. 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."

Two Crimson golfers placed within the top eight, and four within the top twelve. “It was a really successful day,” coach Kevin Rhoads said. “All the other teams can play through the wintertime, and we?...
...occasional depression-induced suicide. The songs are morbid at best, and at their worst, such as in the slow ballad “Nothing To Give,” deathly boring. Space age glittery synth beats overwhelm straining vocals, but fail to mask what is clearly a sub-par rendition of Cure-esque mope-rock.McVeigh often harps on simplified clichés about the inextricable link between love and death, though he does deliver his elementary lyrical content with a reserved aplomb that salvages a handful of good tunes. Gifted with an eerie and reverberating baritone reminiscent of Ian Curtis, McVeigh...
