...possible to determine which one." Identical twins share 99.99% of their genetic information, and the tiny differences are impossible to isolate because of their nature; they tend to be spontaneous mutations limited to certain organs or tissues.

On one play, after the Minuteman defense failed to clear the ball, freshman attacker Kevin Vaughn found junior attacker Jesse Fehr streaking towards the net. From point...
...about opening up the rules. Such moves led to a protest website, letourcongresstweet.org, and Twitter's first petition. The rules were relaxed in October. "The freshmen especially, who used new communications and social media effectively on the campaign trail, realize the importance of engaging constituents online," says Gabriela Schneider, a spokeswoman for the Sun Light Foundation, which encourages more transparency in Congress and maintains a website that tracks Representatives on Twitter...
