After a long legal whirlwind, Thomas Beatie AKA "Pregnant Man" has been granted sole custody of his three children!
The temporary order grants Beatie's wife, Nancy Beatie, only supervised parenting time...and the divorce proceedings will be finalized in September.
We're so sad to see the family break up, but we feel a separation could possibly be best for EVERYONE- especially after seeing all the violent drama and domestic abuse that went down recently!
We're rooting for them, and just hope these two (and the kids) can move forward and rebuild their lives!
Contraception should be achieved because of effort on both the lady's and dude's parts, not just one or the other -- that just isn't fair!
So when we hear that a new gene discovery in Edinburgh might just lead to a form of birth control for me, this makes a LOT of people excited!
They discovered that a gene that is essential for the development of sperm -- called Katniss1Katnal1. If you block it, it temporarily stops sperm production!
The team then found out that Katnal1 was used to regulate a structure known as microtubules – parts of sperms that needed for support and the acquisition of nutrients.
Basically, those little swimmers can't move through the balls to finish maturation.
This finding is double awesome, too, when you realize that not only could this lead to a pill... but possible solutions for male infertility!
One researcher says:
“As we move towards personalized medicine, comparing DNA sequences of infertile men against gene data provided from studies such as this will help clinicians identify the causes underlying unexplained male infertility. If a genetic fault can be traced to a problem within the supporting cells of the testes rather than the sperm cells then it could be possible to use a gene-therapy approach to replace the faulty copy of the gene and restore fertility.”
So fab!
This is still a ways away, but we're excited about the possibilities, none the less!
It's almost been a year since Beyonce put on a show, but Blue Ivy's mama is ready!!
And she wants everyone to see how she's preparing for her first big concert since the birth of her daughter. With this lovely gem of a video, she takes us behind the scenes and into her world before she lights it up at Revel.
Bey promises to give it her ALL at the Atlantic City resort! She says:
Some sneaky sis (or bro!) took a little behind-the-scenes video of Madonna's MDNA tour rehearsal in Tel Aviv this weekend and has shared some incredible footage!
Part of Madge's setlist is her iconic homage to self-love, Express Yourself, but in her 2012 version, she is spicing it up by mashing it with Lady GaGa's similar anthem, Born This Way.
Yeah, you're not going to want to miss this!
Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to hear Madonna sing BOTH Express Yourself and Born This Way!
