Just about the time that eight babies began growing inside a California woman's womb, some nationwide policies about fertility treatment were being codified. In June, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) issued updated "Guidelines on Number of Embryos Transferred." Women under age 35 - the octuplets' mom is reportedly 33 - should attempt to transfer no more than two, and preferably only one, fertilized embryo at a time. Women over age 40 should attempt no more than five. (See pictures of multiple births...
...freshman season, could be a factor in the Crimson’s fortunes next year if he can secure athletic eligibility. The NCAA requires athletes to meet certain benchmarks for credit hours in order to play each season, and because Hatch is returning to Harvard without trying to transfer any credits from LSU, he will not be able to demonstrate the progress towards his degree that would normally be necessary for him to play.

...worker knows immediately if she is denied a promotion or transfer, if she is fired or refused employment.

Apparently, the U.S. military developed a decentralized computer network so there wouldn't be a main hub for Russians to take down with a bomb. I never knew that before; now I can thank communism...
Andrew Hatch, the former Harvard quarterback and LSU signal-caller who briefly started for the Tigers in 2008 after transferring to LSU from Harvard the previous year, is planning to transfer back to Harvard, the Associated Press reported on Jan. 15. But according to Harvard’s admissions office, the well-traveled athlete might not have a spot reserved for him back in Cambridge. In March of 2008, the college announced a two-year moratorium on transfer admissions due to housing limitations. That policy appears to also apply to Hatch, despite past instances of athletes transferring out and then...
