Scottish News: '10,000 jobs' in islands renewables
May 15 2013 Renewable energy projects could create more than 10,000 jobs on the Scottish islands by 2030, according to a Government-commissioned report. An independent study found investment in wind, wave and tidal energy would bring significant socio-economic benefits to the Western Isles, Shetland and Orkney and could establish Scotland as a world leader in marine technologies. But the expense and difficulty of accessing the National Grid means the Government needs to weigh up the cost and benefits of developing renewable energy on the islands against other sources of electricity , the report said.

Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey Receives ACOG Prize for Paper on SET and CCS, a Pioneering IVF Process
NEW ORLEANS, May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –Eric J. Forman, M.D., Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Fellow at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School/Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey (RMANJ), today presented research demonstrating that screening embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, then transferring just one chromosomally normal (euploid) embryo during IVF offers delivery rates that are equivalent to the more standard procedure of transferring two embryos with no screening, while also resulting in fewer incidents of twins and thus healthier obstetrical and pediatric outcomes. The paper was awarded third prize in the category of current clinical and basic investigation by the Committee on Scientific Program Awards at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 61st Annual Clinical Meeting in New Orleans, May 4-8, 2013 Continue reading
