Me on other Podcasts
For the two of you who can’t get enough of listening to me, I’ll be helping out Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft over at GSPN.tv while they celebrate their first year of doing podcasting full time by doing a 24 hour podcast marathon. They have some really great podcasts and I listen to a good number of them. I’d suggest checking out their ever growing lineup of podcasts. There is going to be something for everyone there, I promise.
Anyway, I’ll be on from 4pm to 5pm (EST) on December 31st. The first half hour I’ll be interviewed for the GSPN Community Voices podcast and the second half hour I’ll be co-hosting the Help, I got a Mac podcast. To see the full schedule of who will be on when, visit gspn.tv/live.

Shedding new light on male infertility
Interesting new study.
Researchers in Belgium and Switzerland have discovered a link between Rhesus factors in the blood and levels of acidity in the urine which could have important implications for male fertility levels. The study, which was funded under the EU’s Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes (FP6 and FP7), is published in the journal Nature.
The Rhesus proteins are well known for their importance in blood transfusions, but a study led by Dr Anna Maria Marini of Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique in Belgium has found that the Rhesus protein Rhcg also has a vital role to play.
