Yesterday morning I don't know if anyone was listening to Kost 103.5, but they were putting new songs from Lionel Richie's new album called Tuskegee. It's funny that he mention's that the reason he names the album Tuskegee is that it takes him back to his childhood and how he wants to show that he was able to triumph. I didn't get to hear the entire conversation, but if it had not been part of our learning history in class, I won't have had no clue what he was talking about. As soon as the title was mention "Tuskegee", my head started recollecting the readings and how it involved the runners and what the University stood for. Last night I was also watching CSI and it so happens that the evidence that they are collecting deals with testosterones. The hair that was being examined had xy and xx chromosomes. It showed that the person had androgynous chromosome system. It was a female daughter who had both sex hormones. This is almost like my panel information on sex testing on female athletes. In her case she could be raised as a girl or be raised as a boy. The parents decided they wanted a girl, but she had boy interests. It was the death of her dad that made her go through the surgery and alter her reproduction to a man. He became a killer always leaving female evidence and for that reason there was never enough evidence to support he was the killer. Now it makes more sense when I was watching the investigators how they found it difficult to pin point why there was high levels of testosterone in a female hair. They thought probably she was taking male hormones, steroids, and they mentions she must be an athlete or in to excessive exercising. I guess that might have been a reason why sex testing became important, because they had the style of a girl, with the strength of a man. Sometimes I watch stuff with out realizing that it all has a history and curiously it had to do with what I have learned in class.  Geannie Tomas kin388i wed 4-6:45
