but a period of time the ovum wall remains permeable, and sometimes more
than one sperm gets in.

for example. The link also reports hermaphrodites with XXY chromosomes.
So- hominids are not all egzactly male or female either. The piece
suggests that sometimes all the sperm that get in are either XX or XY,
in which case there's no way of telling that happened.
It also explains how Native Europeans could have some characteristics
from Neanderthal males- with some of that Y chromosome getting in at the
same time Cro Magnon sperm gets in. Since DNA does not zip together like
a new jacket, but more like plates of spaghetti dumped on each other,
with loops of DNA hanging out all over, snippets from different Y
chromosomes match up until enuf of it is matched for development.
Course, sometimes too many loops of the mtDNA dont get matched, so the
zygote does not develop properly and miscarries.

Men on a mission
In a rundown suburb of Washington DC, a group of anti-Iraq war
protesters has set up home. But they are no ordinary activists -- they
are all veterans of the conflict. Daniel Nasaw talks to them
by Daniel Nasaw
The Guardian,
Wednesday August 20 2008
The mock soldier's grave in the front yard, along with the bottles of
urine in the refrigerator and the anti-war posters festooning the first
floor, tell visitors this is not just another group house for
politically minded Washington DC twentysomethings.
The bottles, says Adam Kokesh, a tattooed, muscular former US marine
sergeant and prominent member of a community of virulently anti-war Iraq
veterans based in the house, are to be tested for depleted uranium, a
munitions component thought to be harmful to soldiers exposed to it.

Neocon Crybabies
by Steven LaTulippe
Although the unfolding drama in the Caucasus has been a tragedy for its
innocent victims, the response by America’s political and media elites
has been an entertaining and delusional farce.
To recap events, the government of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia
launched a surprise invasion of South Ossetia (an autonomous republic
within Georgia that has been functionally independent since...

FROM SPECIAL REPORT
FIRST THIS--Before Pennsylvania's Democratic Primary, Barack Obama made a
point of saying his campaign would not compensate volunteers who help get
the vote out in Philadelphia, saying, "We're not going to pay for votes or
pay for turnout."
But now, the Philadelphia Daily News reports Obama appears to be changing
his strategy. Local Democratic Party Chairman Congressman Bob Brady says
street money will be available. "They told me there are going to be
resources here. That's what we do in Philadelphia; we pay people to work,"
Brady said.
The campaign's Pennsylvania director would not comment on the availability
of street money, but told FOX News the campaign is working with local
Democrats.
AND NEXT, THERE'S THIS--
A Barack Obama supporter is defending Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
regarding the Illinois senator's recent criticism of the judge. Obama told
the audience at Saturday's faith forum in California that he would not have
appointed Thomas, saying, "I don't think he was a strong enough jurist or
legal thinker."

The Bush administration is in the planning stages of a rule change that
would redefine most forms of birth control as abortion. The change would
effect birth control methods such as birth control pills, IUDs, and
emergency "morning after" contraceptives, and any other birth control
method that work by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg into the
lining of the uterus.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/5935532.html
http://www.publicnewsservice.org/index.php?/content/article/5903-1
The change in definition could potentially slash public funding for birth
control, contraceptives, and family planning. It could make birth
control difficult or impossible to acquire for many. Is some states,
certain birth control methods could become illegal.
While there is a good change, but no guarantee, that the next
administration would reverse this rule change if it goes into effect,
that still leaves several months where birth control would be difficult
or impossible for many to come by. If the rule change is put in place it
could be seen as a precedent that could cause problems for birth control
accessibility for decades to come.
