California Conceptions Donor Embryo Program Offers Genetic Screening of Embryos at New Location in Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California IVF Fertility Center opens a new fertility center with updated technology to support the next generation of fertility treatments. The new facility offers physical improvements to the laboratory air quality and laboratory work-flow. California Conceptions Donor Embryo Program has enjoyed excellent success since 2010.

The donor embryo program now offers patients the option to use genetically screened embryos with the intention of increasing pregnancy success, reducing miscarriage rates, and in some cases, selecting a boy or girl. The program is proud to announce positive pregnancy outcomes with genetically screened embryos.

Dr. Ernest Zeringue, founder and medical director of California IVF, states, "Patients have demanded genetically screened embryos for years. Due to cumulative success rates of 95 percent, genetic screening has not been necessary. With improved freezing and thawing techniques, genetic screening reduces the total number of transfers needed for a successful outcome and avoids miscarriages and genetically abnormal pregnancies."

Genetic screening, known as PGS, or pre-implantation genetic screening, and CCS, or comprehensive chromosome screening, has been performed at California IVF since 2006. Refinements to the freezing and thawing process, combined with embryo evaluation techniques, and changes to medication protocols, have led to higher success rates with genetic screening. The time has arrived for the integration of genetic screening into the California Conceptions Donor Embryo Program.

About California IVF:

Founded in 2004, California IVF Fertility Center is a local fertility clinic of choice for many infertility patients in the Greater Sacramento, Roseville, Fairfield and San Francisco Bay areas. Advanced infertility services such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), donor sperm and donor eggs, embryo freezing or cryopreservation, ICSI, and other treatments for both male and female infertility are offered at its Northern California fertility center. The California Conceptions Donor Embryo program ( californiaconceptions.com ) provides an egg donor and adoption alternative to failed IVF patients from around the world. The center is one of only a few clinics that have live births from their fertility preservation, or egg freezing program. The staff includes a team of Sacramento fertility doctors and experienced embryologists who are skilled at performing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and screening (PGS).

About California Conceptions Donor Embryo Program:

Started in 2010, the California Conceptions Donor Embryo Program is offered by California IVF. The program uses donor sperm and donor eggs to form donor embryos. The donor embryos are implanted in a recipient's uterus and provides up to 70 to 75 percent rates of success per transfer. By offering 3 transfers, the program reaches a cumulative success rate of 95 percent. With the addition of genetic screening (PGS / CCS), the cumulative transfer rates may be similar, however fewer embryo transfers and fewer miscarriages offer more benefits to recipients.

The genetic screening option will also offer a refund option where patients may get the majority of their money back if they are not successful. The refund option has been very popular with patients seeking pregnancy through donated embryos, embryo adoption, and traditional adoption before discovering the California Conceptions Program. The program is very active and treats patients from across the United States and from countries around the world. More information can be found at http://www.californiaconceptions.com/.

FormFree Delivers Combined Income, Asset and Employment Report for Fannie Mae’s Single Source Validation Pilot

ATHENS, Ga. -- FormFree(R) today announced that it has entered into a pilot with Fannie Mae that could allow mortgage lenders to validate borrower income, asset and employment data through a single report as early as 2018.

Fannie Mae unveiled its Single Source Validation at the Mortgage Bankers Association's Annual Convention and Expo in Denver early this afternoon.

"One year ago, we celebrated the start of a new era in mortgage lending with Fannie Mae's introduction of Day 1 Certainty. Today, we take great pride in announcing another milestone in FormFree's association with Fannie Mae and a huge leap forward for the mortgage lending industry as a whole," said FormFree Founder and CEO Brent Chandler. "Single Source Validation will have a transformational effect on driving down the cost and risk of making sound underwriting decisions while making it easier and safer than ever for borrowers to provide the sensitive data required to apply for a mortgage loan."

Fannie Mae introduced its landmark Day 1 Certainty(tm) initiative during the MBA's 2016 Annual Convention and Expo in Boston last October, naming FormFree its first authorized vendor for asset verification through the Desktop Underwriter(R) (DU(R)) validation service. Day 1 Certainty offers lenders freedom from reps and warrants for validated components of loans submitted through Fannie Mae's DU validation service and Collateral Underwriter(R).

The DU validation service has already demonstrated its ability to help lenders significantly reduce the time and cost of loan origination while delivering a better borrower experience. Currently in testing, Single Source Validation is designed to enhance the DU validation service by allowing lenders to combine three validation steps into one and reduce operational risk associated with managing multiple vendors.

About FormFree(R):

Leading lenders trust FormFree's automated verification solutions to streamline the lending process and provide better intelligence on borrowers' ability to pay. FormFree's flagship app, AccountChek(R), eliminates the hassle of gathering asset documents for loans by letting consumers transmit their online banking, retirement and investment account data for automated analysis and standardized delivery to lenders and their investors using FormFree's secure ReIssueKey(tm). To date, AccountChek has received more than one million asset report orders from over 1,000 U.S. lenders. A HousingWire TECH100(tm) company for four consecutive years, FormFree is based in Athens, Georgia. For more information, visit http://www.formfree.com or follow FormFree on LinkedIn.

Gateway Mortgage Selects TRK Connection’s Insight RDM QC Audit Platform

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- TRK Connection (TRK), a leading provider of mortgage quality control and origination management solutions, announced today that Oklahoma-based Gateway Mortgage Group has chosen the Insight Risk & Defect Management (RDM) platform to conduct its internal quality control (QC) audits.

"When we were evaluating potential QC audit platforms, the ability to be used for different types of audits across multiple internal departments was a key consideration. Ultimately, we chose Insight RDM because of the flexibility it offers us, and now, we can use a single platform to complete our pre-funding, post-closing and servicing QC audits," said Angie Couch, director of quality control for Gateway Mortgage. "Insight is incredibly user-friendly, and the level of support we've received from TRK during and after implementation has been stellar, re-affirming our selection of the platform."

Designed in collaboration with leading lenders, Insight RDM is the mortgage industry's first cloud-based QC audit platform that reduces repurchase risk and elevates loan quality through its suite of sophisticated QC auditing tools, integrated action planning and business intelligence reporting from Tableau. Insight's intuitive interface and device-agnostic design simplifies the loan defect management and remediation process, empowering lenders to more effectively track, report and trend loan defects and proactively mitigate future risk.

"Reducing repurchase risk requires lenders to establish a culture of quality throughout their organization. Therefore, QC can't just happen in one department or at one point in the origination process, and today's mortgage QC audit platforms must be flexible enough to be utilized in multiple areas and conduct a variety of QC audits," said Teri Sundh, CEO of TRK Connection. "Insight RDM was designed specifically to be deployed in this type of environment so that lenders could implement a single solution to meet their all QC needs across their entire organization."

Attorney Bernard Walsh Warns the Corporate Push for Arbitration Threatens Our Constitutional Right to a Jury of Our Peers

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Personal injury lawyer Bernard Walsh warns efforts by large corporations to resolve disputes in arbitration rather than trial by jury threaten constitutional rights. Corporations seeking to reduce their financial risk and increase long-term profits have been turning to arbitration clauses more and more.

Arbitration essentially is an agreement that any legal disputes will be settled in a private negotiation moderated by an 'Arbitrator.' More often than not the moderating arbitrator is also employed by the company and as such, has their employer's interests in mind during any negotiation of financial or legal settlement.

Arbitration agreements have quietly been added to service contracts of many important services or product purchases including everything from banking to automobile manufacturing to nursing home care providers and even food products. Often the customer is completely unaware that when they sign a service agreement, they have also consented to binding arbitration and waved their right to a trial by a jury. In some high profile cases bad publicity has resulted in corporations removing the arbitration clause from their service or product. The push for more arbitration and less trials is increasing in other ways as well.

In one such case, financial giant Wells Fargo sought in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to have a dispute over "reordering transactions," a practice in which financial transactions are reordered to maximize overdraft fees, thrown out and instead settle out of court in arbitration. However by enlarge, legal departments and business executives are more and more attempting to avoid responsibility by having customers wave their right to a jury and agree to settle dispute through binding arbitration.

Despite the effort to stop this erosion of consumer protections by a group of sixteen states and the District Of Columbia, the Trump Administration, supported by nursing home operators and the lobbyist group the American Health Care Association, is working to remove limitations for forced arbitration in nursing home services, essentially stripping nursing home residents' right to take facilities to court over alleged abuse, neglect and sexual assault.

Civil trial lawyer Bernard F. Walsh of the Bradenton Office of Shapiro Goldman Babboni Fernandez & Walsh offered this warning to consumers, "Out of sight - out of mind, combined with lobbying law makers at every level of the government, has been the strategy for many large corporations to advance forced arbitration into almost every major industry. Should the federal government and state law makers continue to bend to the will of special interests and corporate lobbyists, the constitutional right of every American citizen to a trial by a jury of peers will be side stepped. Every year we see more and more cases where people have been harmed by negligent companies and seek justice only to discover that they have waived their constitutional rights to a jury. We cannot allow forced arbitration to become the new norm and still maintain a fair and just society."

About Attorney Bernard Walsh:

Bernard Walsh is an active member in multiple legal organizations including the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyers, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, member of the Florida Justice Association Board of Governors, and the National Association of Distinguished Counsel.

A partner at the Personal Injury law firm of Shapiro, Goldman, Babboni, Fernandez and Walsh; Bernard Walsh has won one of Florida's largest motorcycle accident recoveries and has an AV Preeminent(r) rating on Martindale-Hubbell(r), and is a Superb rated attorney with Avvo.com.

Forty-Four Years Later Coveted Vinyl Album ‘Zerfas’ Officially Released on CD

ORLANDO, Fla. -- After more than four decades, Ozone Unlimited is releasing an extremely rare collectible album - "Zerfas" - on compact disc. And it's doing it to coincide with Halloween. Why? The original album cover design is orange and black to give a nod to the occasion, the same time of year the original album was first released in '73.

Apparently, fans have found it to be a treat based on the countless number of inferior bootlegs found on the Internet, the raving reviews, and the cost to buy an original LP - if you're lucky enough to find one.

Phil Spector described the Zerfas album as "extraordinary" in a comment he wrote on Rising Storm, a vintage music feed. Spector also noted the last time he saw the Zerfas album for sale was on eBay (prior to 2010) which fetched more than $1,500; in 2017, another album went for $1,913.

"It's an album that tells a story about life and times through music which is why I called them chapters instead of sides," David Zerfas, the band's founder, says. "We've been asked if the story will continue. We'll see."

Plans are in the works to repress an official version of the original LP on vinyl for a limited run, most likely, for the last time.

First cut with the guidance of sound engineer, Moe Whittemore, in his 700 West Studios in New Palestine, Ind. - this album was the result of a teenage band influenced by artists like The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Led Zeppelin and Frank Zappa.

This official first CD release will also include a bonus CD of never released alternate arrangements for some of the original album songs. Zerfas, who designed the original album cover, included a picture of his family's barn where the band rehearsed before going into the studio to cut the album as part of his CD design.

Since the original LP was cut in the wake of Vietnam, a portion of profits will be donated to organizations that support military veterans.

The CD will be available for sale on their Facebook page, so like the page to stay on top of the news at: https://www.facebook.com/TheZerfasAlbum/.

Mid America Mortgage Assists Lenders, Borrowers Affected By Recent Disasters

ADDISON, Texas -- Mid America Mortgage, Inc. (Mid America) announced measures it has taken to provide assistance to both lenders and borrowers that were impacted by recent federally declared disasters. In addition to $20,000 in donations from employees and the corporation toward relief efforts, Mid America will also purchase loans on properties located in areas impacted by the recent storms or fires. This includes both government and conventional loans underwritten to agency guidelines.

For government loans, Mid America will purchase insured loans, as well as loans pending endorsement, for properties that have been damaged. In addition, the program allows for the sale of loans for properties without damage where the borrowers may have experienced a temporary hardship related to a disruption in income or unforeseen expenses. On conventional loans, Mid America will purchase loans with property damage if it does not impact the safety, soundness or structural integrity of the property. If there is extensive property damage, the program includes a repurchase line of credit to allow lenders time to manage the repair and re-inspection process.

"Mid America has established itself as a valued partner to mortgage originators by providing liquidity for loans that traditional investors may not be willing or able to purchase. This announcement complements our current program to purchase loans that may have missed other investors' overlays or have minor underwriting or compliance issues," said Michael Lima, managing director of whole loan trading for Mid America.

The company also announced that its retail origination and correspondent channels will be providing assistance through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) 203(h) program, which provides borrowers with 100 percent financing to purchase a new residence or refinance an existing residence impacted by a disaster.

"Helping consumers and mortgage lenders recover from these unfortunate events should be the goal of every entity in the housing industry, and our announcement today is our step toward that objective," said Mid America Owner and CEO Jeff Bode. "Mid America is dedicated to helping victims through its charitable donations, the origination of loans under federal programs or by offering loss mitigation options to our current borrowers. We will also continue to work with our industry partners to provide an outlet for loans that traditional investors may not purchase."
