Welcome to you Wired readers who are here via the Blogging with the Newton article. Here’s an example of an entry that was authored and posted via my Newton.

I use a Newton MessagePad 2000 with NewtsCape and NetHopper to surf the web. I’m using a Lucent WaveLan Silver wireless card to do all of my syncing and surfing. More info on my Newton at my other site.

Cholesterol and Testosterone

Posted in General at 11 pm

Taken from BodyBuilding.com:

Testosterone is a 19-carbon steroid hormone produced primarily by the Leydig cells of the testes (in men) and the ovaries (in women). Smaller amounts are produced in the adrenal glands of both sexes. As a “steroid”, testosterone belongs to the androgen class of hormones that also includes dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione, and androstenediol. Six other classes of steroid hormones exist, including estrogens, progestins (some female contraceptives are made of these), mineralocorticoids (which help control water balance), glucocorticoids (mainly anti- inflammatory compounds), vitamin D, and bile acids.

In men, approximately seven mg of testosterone is produced each day, and blood levels range between 300 and 1000 ng/dL (10-28 nmol/L). Females, on the other hand, produce about 1/15th of this amount, leading to average blood levels of only 25 to 90 ng/dL (1 -2.5 nmol/L). All steroid hormones are derived from the sterane ring structure, composed of three hexane (6 carbon) rings and one pentane (5 carbon) ring.

It’s not an error count or a mistakes/per time unit or goofs.

It’s “Source Divergence Potential”.

Will that fool anyone? Maybe if I only refer to it as SDP?
