Host Institution
University of Texas at Austin
Current Position
Dr. Bolnick is also an associate professor of integrative biology at the University of Texas at Austin and an adjunct associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Current Research
Growing up, Daniel Bolnick lived the dream of every adventurous child. The son of a development economist who worked and lived in such exotic locales as Indonesia and Zambia, Bolnick spent more time soaking up nature than books.
"As early as high school, I was spending time hobnobbing with field biologists," Bolnick recalls of the time when he crisscrossed central Africa in search of birds. "One of the founding experiences of my life was spending a lot of time outdoors. It sparked an interest in natural history and biological diversity."
Today, Bolnick is an evolutionary biologist at the University of Texas at Austin. And the romance of working in the outdoors still exerts a defining influence, providing the setting for his seminal studies of natural selection, speciation (the biological processes that lead to new species), and the coevolution of animals and their parasites. His work, beginning in graduate school with a single-author paper in Nature, has helped explain the dynamics of how animals expand their environmental niches and form new species within a specific geographic area.
For the past decade, Bolnick has spent his summers on British Columbia's Vancouver Island, hopping from lake to stream to marine estuary to explore the evolutionary dynamics of the threespine stickleback, a small fish that inhabits temperate marine and freshwater environments.
Vancouver Island, Bolnick explains, is an ideal laboratory for his research because 12,000 years ago retreating glaciers left a blank canvas of lifeless lakes and streams — environments that were eventually colonized by animals, including the stickleback's marine ancestor. "The fish got there by colonizing from the ocean. Every watershed, every river system, every lake represents a replicate of an unparalleled evolutionary experiment."
The environments colonized by the sticklebacks vary in size and in the productivity and makeup of their ecosystems, including predator, prey, and parasite dynamics. As the fish adapted to their new habitats, natural selection prompted a diverse array of traits and characteristics — size, shape, color, ability to cope with specific parasites and predators — that make the sticklebacks of Vancouver Island a powerful model of the driving forces of evolution.
"I can identify on sight which lake or stream a fish comes from," notes Bolnick. "There is very striking variation and that is something we can use to ask: What in their environments caused these populations to differ from each other? What genetic changes were necessary to evolve those differences?"
Bolnick also wants to know how the fish coevolved with other organisms. Each lake, he says, harbors a distinctive community of parasites. "In the course of our studies, we stumbled across an interesting story," Bolnick explains. "From lake to lake, not only did the fish differ, but the other species they were interacting with were different. We can sample one lake and never see a tapeworm. On the other hand, if I drive five minutes to another lake, about 80 percent of the fish will have tapeworms."
Knowing that the parasite populations differ dramatically in terms of type and density, says Bolnick, provides an opportunity to test whether the stickleback's exposure to different parasites in different settings prompts genetic changes in the fish's immune system. For example, if a stickleback from a lake that lacks tapeworms is put in another lake whose dominant parasite is a tapeworm, how will that stickleback fare compared with one that ordinarily lives in the lake? And for those sticklebacks that ordinarily live in the tapeworm-filled second lake, "What is it in their genome that is changing that allows them to adapt to their parasites, or maybe makes them more vulnerable?"
To help identify those changes, Bolnick plans to relocate sticklebacks between sites to see if the coevolution of a fish population and its parasites confers what he calls "a home field advantage."
Insights about the interplay of host, parasite, and geographic variation not only help explain the mechanics of diversity, Bolnick says, but also may improve the understanding of chronic parasite-borne diseases that affect humans, such as malaria and dengue fever. "In Africa, you can be in a hot spot for high incidences of malaria, but if you travel 20 miles [to a higher, cooler elevation] you can be out of that hot spot completely." Bolnick believes that the Vancouver Island sticklebacks and their parasites can help reveal how the spatial structure of a landscapeits geology, habitats, and climateinfluences evolution. "We can come up with a picture in which spatial structure of the environment either inhibits or facilitates adaptation to a parasite."
The decade of work Bolnick has invested in canvassing the evolutionary biology of Vancouver Island's sticklebacks and their parasites, and his planned efforts to plumb the genetic basis of their interrelationships, will help give science a new tack on ecological variation. Gaining that insight in a laboratory composed of the 50 or so lakes that pock Vancouver Island, says Bolnick, is the perfect fit for a biologist first inspired by the diversity he observed as a teenager in the African and Indonesian bush.

When you sign up with an online bingo site you definitely want to get a nice bonus. That should not be a problem as there are many bingo sites with sign up bonus offers. There are many types of bonuses you will see when you start playing at an online casino. Let's take a look at the different types.
Sign Up Bonuses
The first bonus you get is the sign up bonus. This can also be referred to as a welcome bonus or a match bonus. There are even bingo sites with sign up bonus where you don't even have to make a deposit to be able to play cash bingo games. This is the no-deposit bonus where you really get free money simply for trying out a site.
Refer a Friend Bonus
You can almost always find the refer a friend bonus at online casinos because all of the casinos want more players. They will give out a bonus for every player you get to sign up with the casino.
Loyalty Bonus
The more you play at an online casino the more free money you can get. Most online casinos have some sort of loyalty or VIP program where players get free money or comps for their play.
Reload Bonus
When you make a deposit you should almost always be getting a deposit at the online casino. There are bingo sites with sign up bonus and usually these sites have reload or re-up bonuses.
Sticky Bonus
A sticky bonus is one where you normally don't have the big rollover requirements before you can cash out. For example, a normal bonus might have a rollover requirement of 20 times while one that is a sticky bonus might only have one that requires a 4 times rollover requirement. The problem with the sticky bonus is that you can cash out your winnings after reaching the rollover requirement but you lose your original bonus.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
If a team takes any opponent too lightly, they can come out and bite you. The Lady Dinos didn't want that to happen against a weaker Salem Hills team on Tuesday, so they came out with their "A" game from the start and soundly beat the Skyhawks 58-21.
While the Dinos offense didn't start out as fast as they have in other games, the defensive side of the game was solid. They held the Skyhawks to six points for each of the first two periods. In the second quarter the Carbon offense began feeling their rhythm and amassed a 24 point lead heading into the locker room.
Despite the lead Coach Carlson did not want her team to sit back and coast. She challenged her squad to hold the Skyhawks to even fewer points in the second half.
"I wanted to keep the girls motivated on defense and I set the goal for them to allow fewer than 12 points in the second half," explained Carlson. "I didn't care about the offense as much. Even when I subbed most of the second half, the bench also stepped up and took care of business."
With that, the Dino D just about shut out Salem Hills in the third, allowing only a single point while growing their own lead by 16. The final quarter had Salem posting a mere eight and the Dinos met their defensive goal and took the win.
Tia Pappas and Julia Potts drove the Dino offense with 12 and 11 points respectively. Pappas also picked eight steals and pulled in five rebounds to be named Carbon's player of the game. Sarah Potts was perfect at the line going four for four.
With a winless Juan Diego coming in to face the Dinos on Thursday, it will be another game that the squad will have to set goals and not lose their focus on.
Carlson knows how quickly a struggling team can find a way to win if they are overlooked.
"We won't take them lightly," she said. "I am glad we are facing them at home, I haven't had a chance to really see them play, so we will be ready."
Tip-off for Thursday's game will be at 7 p.m. at the Carbon High gym.

About this project
Who are you supporting?
Born and raised in the Bronx, I attended public schools until 7th grade, when I commenced from the scholarship program Prep for Prep, allowing me to attend private schools at a fraction of the normal cost. My parents were always incredibly supportive of my dreams. They consistently told me that they didn't work so hard to open up opportunities -- opportunities they never had -- for me so I could grow up and hate what I did. With that, I made it my goal to make a living in the field that I love -- entertainment. With my success, I always thought I'd be able to return the favor and open up opportunities for my parents as they got older.
When I started Future House Pictures, I did it knowing that the road ahead was chock full of obstacles and false starts. Perseverance would be key. However, this wasn't a one-man endeavor. The company wouldn't take flight until I had a team on board that knew we'd fall more times than we soared. I needed a team that knew nothing trumps hard work in the long run. I needed a team that took nothing for granted and wanted to be successful as much as they wanted to breathe. Today, I find myself working with that team; today, I find myself working with men who work tirelessly and shrug off disappointment with the faith that hard work will always yield favorable results. Justin Douglas, Ian Park, Brian Velsor, and Robby Hardesty help make up Future House Pictures. Their vision and hard work are my inspiration.
This is our SECOND GO AROUND at this Kickstarter. Our first one wasn't successful for a few reasons -- all of which I believe are remedied. Take a look at our new rewards list; there are no more uninspired swag or lazy options. You can support us, and in return, you'll get copies of our work, special editions, signed posters, stills and props, and there are even options where you get the services of Future House Pictures on your own creative endeavors.
The Postponed Project is one born from where I am in my life and where my team is in theirs. We're a part of this story -- your story, our story. Help us tell it.
Postponed- The Web Series
Ten months ago my good friend Robby Hardesty and I found ourselves out of school and stuck. He was taking time off from his studies and living in Seattle, working as a barista. I had just graduated, and was spending the money I was making from my unchallenging nine to five on material comforts — clothes, video games, and beer. Robby bought a barely working van, which he planned on living out of in order to avoid paying room and board when he returned to school in the Fall.
Robby's misadventures struck a chord. I began writing a web series that followed two recent college grads that were broke, unemployed, and homeless. Their fix? Pose as college students while living in a van in the parking lot on their old campus.
The show takes a decidedly satirical look at the "Postponed Generation" — a generation of college graduates that have put off their ambitions to pay the fast approaching bills. We at Future House are a part of this generation and feel that we are in a prime position to tell this story, as we are living through it ourselves.
Though we were able to produce the first season on our own dime, we believe that the only way the series can flourish — the only way we can continue telling this story that needs to be told — is with your help. We have big plans for a higher-value production, which will allow for cleaner picture and sound, better lighting, a more consistent work flow, and better production design. A chunk of the money raised in this KickStarter will go toward a new camera, a lighting kit, hard drives, storage media, and audio equipment.
You can check out the seven episode first season here:
The Postponed Project- The Bigger Picture
We are not telling a small story; this is a story that an entire generation has a stake in. We believe that the fictional narrative of "Postponed" The Web Series is only one part of a larger, three tiered story. The Internet allows for new storytelling techniques that are only just beginning to be explored. We have the opportunity to take advantage of these strengths, to tell an even richer story that utilizes the interactivity and community-building possibilities of the Internet. In the new media movement, we want to be pioneers!
This entire story will be housed on our new and improved site, which you will help us complete. The site will allow intuitive and seemless access to all three parts of this greater "Postponed" story.
The second tier of the project tells our personal stories, which we currently cover on our tumblr "Unpostponed." This thread follows the team and I as we strive to achieve our goals while finding work in our field. On our new site, this thread will be updated daily with behind-the-scenes video blogs, pictures, editorials, and interviews with the crew about how they are balancing the pursuit of their dream with their day jobs, and more. You can check out what we've done with this story thread thus far:
The third and final tier of this story is YOUR story, a story we plan on telling through content that YOU submit. We want to know what you're doing, what you're thinking, and what you have to say. Every week we'll look through your submissions and post your videos, prose, poems, rants, and pictures to our site, giving OUR community a glimpse into everyone's "Postponed" experience. We want to tell a full story, not just one slant.
With our site and this story, we want to lend voice to a community and a generation that has been covered by several individuals, but has not had a place to tell their own story with their own voice. Let's tell our story together.
Every donation will go a long way toward making this entire project possible.
Thank you,
Christopher Correa

Sisterhood is (Still) Powerful.
Sisterhood, the Divine Feminine and Magic Making…in the Joshua Tree Highlands.
What do you get when you take 12 women of different ages, races, sizes and socioeconomic classes and place them in a large dome in the desert? No, this isn't a pitch for yet another reality show or a tabloid headline. But if it was, the answer would be "catfight!"
After all, according to the most prolific genre of television today and the looming tabloids that greet us at every check-out counter, girls and women are competitive, back-stabbing, smack-talking "mean girls." You know, those bitchy girls who don't have friends but have plenty of "frenemies" that they keep under close scrutiny as they vie for the same prize, namely male attention…as a barometer of self-worth.
Don't get me wrong, it's not just the toxic pop culture environment that we're all swimming in (whether we like it or not) that unfairly portrays girls and women in this superficial way. Truth be told, I've had my fair share of bad experiences with women over the years. Those experiences left enough of a bad taste in my mouth that I'd proudly proclaim in my snarky Valley girl way, "I'm not friends with girls. All girls are bitches. I'm just friends with guys."
I felt privileged and cool to be part of the "boys club."
And then I stepped into a Women's Studies class and learned a few things about patriarchy, misogyny and the consistent devaluing of the feminine. I had to ask myself, "what it does it mean to unfairly judge and ultimately hold disdain for other women as a woman myself?" Upon closer inspection, I recognized my own internalized oppression and the ways in which I had come to believe and play out the divisive script. With this realization, I opened myself up to authentic female friendships, friendships that could transcend shopping dates and conversations about men. Through the course of my twenties, those women found me and I found them.
While these friendships nourished me (and continue to do so), I needed more to heal the psychic wounds that taught me to criticize women and view the feminine as less valuable than masculinity and membership in the boy's club.
In 1994, I discovered the work of Rianne Eisler and Marija Gimbutas, women who influenced feminist spirituality and neopaganism with their examination of pre-Christian goddess cultures. Discovering these authors and their examination of the sacred feminine reaffirmed by own value and worth in a deep and profound way. While my blossoming yoga practice was transformative and healing on multiple levels, the spiritual lineage was, and is, male-dominated—leaving me (and many other women) to wonder "where are the women?" Do we have to match mainstream standards of perfection to garner recognition and visibility?
Eventually my journey led me to Nita Rubio, a teacher that integrates a critical examination of patriarchy, feminist spirituality and the divine feminine in a movement modality. I had finally found the forum that addressed all my points of concern and inquiry for the previous decade. I've studied with Nita for five years, and it has been the sacred female-only space that she cultivates and nurtures that has allowed me to continue to extract patriarchy's hold on my mind, body, spirit—and female relationships.
And so last Thursday I left Los Angeles and sped through the smoggy Inland Empire to reach my destination, a dome house on five acres in the Joshua Tree Highlands to commune with 11 other women for the next four days. What ensued was not a reality show in the making, replete with mean girl battles and cat fights. Led by Nita, we basked in one another and the land with intention and devotion.
I've had the privilege of going on retreat with Nita for the last four years. Though each experience has been different, each has been equally confronting—and rewarding. The old judgments and insecurities come up. Will I like her? Will she like me? Do we have anything in common?
In the end, I'm always reminded of the beauty that can exist between women. Suspicion, jealousy and competition are not givens between women. And that's what recognition of the divine feminine can do: reaffirm our bonds with other women, reaffirm our relationship to our own body and reaffirm female power as beneficent.
As I drove home toward my baby boy, my career and an ever-increasing to-do list, I couldn't help feeling profoundly inspired, deeply nourished and whole. The power of sisterhood is not a trite, outmoded war cry of second wave feminists from the '60s and '70s.
I felt the magic between us.
I know sisterhood is still powerful.

Thanks, swati jr., but, actually, feminist spirituality began over 35 years ago 😉

Poetic ans beautiful! Always love reading Melanie's work. She speaks of the greater need for women to be seen as they are not as we would like them to be for our own lascivious entertainment value. I have had the priveledge of studying with Nita on retreat and this article makes me both nostalgic of those times and anxious to get back to future retreat! Thank u Melanie for the words of wisdom, experience and inspiration! And thank u elephant journal for featuring such a precious jewel of a writer!
I always love when I find an article about the beauty that exists between women in a world that so pervasively is trying to tell me that it doesn't exist. I can totally relate to your experience, I have always had guy friends and always hated women– that is until I walked into YOUR Women's Studies class and realized that all I had to do was share my experience, my story and there would be plenty of women waiting to do the same. I absolutely love this article, it is such an inspiration! Xo.
Yes, yes and yes! It is about time that our mainstream media began representing women as we are: sisters. Most women I know outgrew their "mean girls" stage fairly quickly, and it has always bothered me that we continue to be portrayed as such well into middle age. Even before reality TV, thinking back at shows like Melrose Place, and now, with all the "Desperate Housewives" versions, it is apparent what society tries to mold young women into: emotionally stunted women. Why? Perhaps because they are easier to please? Fun to watch? It's such a shame that so many girls are learning their cues from what's out there. But, not mine. I have the power to control how my daughter is raised, and what paradigm she sees the world through. And it doesn't involve the words Desperate, Bridezilla or any name suggesting the like.
This is such a beautiful piece of inspiration. The damage we women do to ourselves in an effort to survive in this patriarchal environment is tremendous, but it is women like yourself who are brave enough to venture into the unknown and grab hold of the spiritual gauntlet that make change possible. I believe that healing the great feminine divide is one of the most integral pieces of the feminist puzzle. One which can transform and heal, and fundamentally change the fabric of patriarchy. I mean, how can we overcome or change something if we're divided in the first place, right? So, thank you, Melanie, for writing this piece of enlightenment.

After reading this article, I find it so relieving and refreshing to know that women can reach such a magical state with one another and re-discover the, often- forgotten, power of a real sisterhood. This inspires me to re-evaluate my friendships and the judgment that I place on my fellow females. It truly makes me thrive for an escape out of the corrupt, naive, and shallow mindset found in our society, today.
Woow..that was truly inspiring to read. I couldn't agree more. There are definitely stereotypes about feminism, women and even women in a group. Some true, and some not even close to being true. With that being said, I think it was very refreshing to read a piece about women doing the opposite of what people expect of them and proving these stereotypes wrong. Given that we constantly have to prove these stereotypes wrong, I believe, it gives us an advantage of strengthening our bonds between each other and reminding ourselves about the beauty of the relationship between women.
Very touching and refreshing to read. It's very true how women want to be apart of the "Guys" and don't really realize the power the "Girls" hold.
I read this and it reminded me of my experience at camping at lake kern. Me and my 2 girlfriends went camping with 7 of our guy friends and we heard that two other girls are coming…in the beginning we where all nervous and scared for them to come because we thought they'd be "bitches" or just not like us. But when they got there we all got along so well and formed great friendships. And later on when I was talking to one of them she told me that she was so nervous to come here because she taught we would have not liked them for "invading our territory". And I realized that if you just pursue anything with an open mind and no prejudgments it will work out fine.
I too have had bad experiences with girlfriend in the past. Women that i have loved and cared deeply for have turned their backs on me in a time of need. I have recently opened my heart up to the idea of letting myself trust and build relationships with other women. This article gives me hope that i too can be worthy of having great relationships with other women.
Although Patriarchy is not as prominent in our society as it once was, or compared to other societies, I know that it hasn't completely vanished. Anyways, I never knew that a society that places a greater importance in men (such as ours) would cause strife among women; or as Melanie puts it "catfight". This is one of the reasons I found this blog particularly interesting.
I can relate to this article because I, too, feel it is important to have a close net of female friends that you can share meaningful conversations and deep friendships with. There is no comparison between having a good female friend and, although many claim they prefer having guy friends, it is always important to at least have one female friend in your life. Personally, I have encountered many girls who fall into the "jealous," "mean-girl" category. But, at the same time, I have many female friendships that I value and respect about all else.
I think it is very common for women to have a strong hatred toward other females. While I find it ironic, I have learned from my own experience, especially from high school, that girls are bitches. It seems to be a constant battle between women, trying to get all of the same things, making lying and backstabbing seem as if it is a necessary part of the process. Although many girls try to steer clear of other girls, because of the mere fact that us girls are females, we should instead try to bond together. Although we live in a male dominated society, it does not mean that we need to go along with our societies patriarchy way of thinking and go against all of our female allies and befriend the males. It is not only possible, but also more beneficial, to have harmony between females and open one's own circle of female friends.
[…] the luscious truth of being a woman with a feminine essence is that I am an invitation to the masculine. I invite the masculine to take me. I offer myself, all […]
When Melanie discussed that through a Women's Studies class that she'd learned a few things about patriarchy, misogyny, & the consistent devaluing of the feminine and had to question herself about what it meant to unfairly judge & ultimately hold disdain for other women, as a women herself, I thought about how I paralleled her own internalized oppression as I only now in my mid-twenties have begun to open up as a gay man, to other gay men in forming meaningful relationships that also are also to me, authentic, for in all previous time I had internalized that the associated feminine stereotypes that are seen as negative in our community that I saw in myself, manifested through other gay men pushed me away from building relationships with them because what I hated in myself, I hated to see as a mirror through them. Does that make sense to you? Now, I realize through Melanie's courses that societal constructs teach us to hate certain aspects of ourselves because they perpetually dehumanize those aspects and consider them standards of deviancy. I have only now, but righteously chosen to take a more empowered stance to understand myself and that internalized hatred that society has pushed onto me, to now become more liberated and understanding, loving of others like myself, and to see those that mirror me as a means of perpetuating this burgeoning empowerment that I have now found.
I find it really bothersome how the media, specifically television portrays interpersonal communication between women as "catfights." Women are deep intellectual beings that can not only communicate with each other through words, but through emotions as well. However, the media takes the small occurrence of women behaving in a superficial way and stereotypes it to show that women always behave in this manner when left alone with each other. It is even sadder how the media makes women feel like they must be at a certain standard to have a sense of self-worth and value. Women deserve the freedom to go throughout their lives without being judged by not only males, but other women themselves. All women should have a spiritual leader like Rubio, someone who can guide them in life and teach them lessons about feminism spirituality. The question is who can be a role model for all of the women in the world? The answer is simple; all women should be teachers for other women. Only by having all women come together to help each other, to empower each other, can we create women that will no longer have a reliance on male attention to monitor self-worth.
I found this piece so interesting. I always ask myself why am I constantly comparing myself to other women? Why can't I actually sit with a women and not compare our strengths and weaknesses. I have two sisters and we all look so different, we are different sizes, different heights and deep down we all wish we had at least one feature from the other, so we therefore live life feeling as though one of us is better than the other. It's amazing how you incorporated the idea that women now feel as though they must detach from female bonding and redirect their friendships towards men. Men definitely don't feel the same way about us, in fact men prefer us women not be around when they want to "chill". So why do women insist that hanging out with men makes them different from the rest? I would love to go on a trip with Nita and experience some 'feminine spirituality. ' I want to have a positive impact on the women's society, I want to not care so much about catty things and what this girl says about me. I want to internalize instead of judge others.
This article is very controversial. At first it starts off saying how women are "competitive, back-stabbing, smack-talking "mean girls". Which I completely agree with having two sisters, cousins, and many girl friends. I have witnessed how women are always so competitive about guys, what they wear, how skinny one is, and many more. I can personally say men are too but I believe that women take it to another extreme. Then Melanie is speaking on how spending four days with 11 other women changed her believes completely, which makes me realize how different other women can be from one another. I really feel like I can relate to this article because I have witnessed how terrible girls can be to each other, yet others are so nice to each other.
The phrase "I'm not friends with Girls. All Girls are Bitches" is the narrative of my life as well. I spent eighteen years of my life avoiding other females on the playground, in the bathroom, at the mall. Raised in a home with two older sports-playing brothers, I spent my days playing tackle football on the front lawn, watching basketball and boxing with my dad. In the beginnings of my young adult, I can recall myself saying I am more comfortable watching a game at a sports bar, throwing back a beer and kicking it with my boys. I had my "moment of sisterhood" in church, when I met the two individuals I share the closest relationships with. They opened my eyes to intelligent, meaning relationships filled with love and communication that did not always consist of the opposite sex. Now, I value those friendships and guard them with everything I have within, because they taught, most importantly that one experience does not define all experiences within a group of people.
Pitting women against each other has long been a tool of the patriarchy that keeps women from seeing their true worth. We are constantly bombarded with messages that we (women) need to fight each other for popularity, male attention, and happiness, and it's a truly poisonous message that keeps us from making any true progress in the realm of women's rights. Bullying, slut-shaming, passive aggression, and backstabbing are encouraged, and then used against us ("but girls are catty and mean") when we try to eradicate gender inequality! Although I used to do some of these things and judge women, I now appreciate the women in my life, and I have to constantly remind myself that even though I may not agree with their decisions, I should respect and support them.
This article definitely spoke considering I personally am perplexed every time I encounter a young woman my age who claims to "hate girls" and "only gets along with guys". It always out stands me that this woman thinks that she is so edgy and progressive but yet she is saying she hates over 50% of the population, people who share not only the same body parts but the same struggles as her. It is counterproductive to the mutual goals of women and feminists in general to be pit yourself against other women so that men will think you're "low maintenance" and just "one of the guys". I think that sisterhood is something that is often overlooked but yet necessary if we are to unite against the mutual enemy that is patriarchy.
*spoke to me
I have a friend who constantly insists on her "only getting along with guys and never girls." She insists on my following her route of leaving all my girl friends behind to join the guys. I absolutely must show her this article because although at times her arguments seemed appealing to me; that "girls are always moody and looking for drama", this article argues directly against why we shouldn't join bonds with our fellow females. In the society that we still live in today, we need those fellow females. We need them to stick together and join an undefeatable bond in order to go about making change to the world. We must stick together with other women in order to be able to successfully stick up for ourselves and earn world-wide respect for us all. If the ultimate downfall of a community is internal corruption, then we stand no chance against society if we refuse to befriend our fellow females. After all, the enemy of our enemy (society) is our friend (women).
After reading this I realized that I have fallen into the notion that women are backstabbers and cannot be trusted, because that is the way the media portrays it. For as long as I could remember and to this day I have taken pride in saying that I do not associate with girls because they are not trustworthy. But after reading this article I have realize that when us women say those things about each other we are only bringing ourselves down; which is what the media wants in the first place to keep patriarchy. How are we suppose to gain feminine equality when we are too busy fighting between each other? Instead, we should be embracing each others qualities and working together to obtain women equality.

Dead Nation PS4 Info In 24/48H; Vita port still alive
There have been quite a few rumors regarding a Dead Nation PS4 port, and just a few hours ago the official Asian PlayStation Blog announced that a game titled Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition would be among the March freebies for PS4 users who have a PS+ subscription.
Now users are very eager to know more, however, and are pressing Housemarque – the Finnish developer also responsible for the little gem called Resogun – about it on Twitter. The answer was, as you can read below, that all kinds of information can be expected within the next 24/48 hours.
Hold your horses, we'll have all the answers you want in the next 24/48h, and not much before that.
— Housemarque Team (@Housemarque) February 26, 2014
Now, there's also a related topic worthy of discussion, because there had been talks about a Vita port for Dead Nation as well. Another user asked about this, and the developer outright denied that it had been cancelled.
— Housemarque Team (@Housemarque) February 26, 2014
Still, it would be a bit odd for them to release just a Vita port now, since Dead Nation PS4 – as with every other game on the console – should support Vita via Remote Play. Unless Vita is getting a very customized version, I don't see much point, but obviously we'll have to wait for the full information in order to make a judgement. Stay tuned!

Let us tell you about Kaplan and how we have come to be the international provider of international education that we are today.
Kaplan was founded in 1938 by Stanley H. Kaplan. He began by tutoring students for the New York State Regents Exam, a qualification which boosts students' chances of getting into a top college, in the basement of his parents' home in Brooklyn, New York. He believed that everyone should have the right to a good education and many of his students were from immigrant families, eager to pursue higher education and achieve success in America.
Kaplan recognised how important standardized testing was for assessing college applicants. Despite the test's producers advising students that they need not prepare for the tests, he saw differently and started to tutor and prepare students for the SATs. Word soon spread about the success Kaplan's students were having and the classes were soon full to bursting. His business grew rapidly as more and more colleges across the United States started to use standardized testing methods to assess the applicants. By 1975 Stanley H. Kaplan expanded his business across the country and had test preparation centers in 23 cities across the US. When asked what his middle initial stood for, Stanley H. Kaplan routinely said, "Higher scores."
By 1984, Kaplan had opened more than 100 centers nationally with around 600 part-time satellite offices serving 95,000 students a year. Later on in the year The Washington Post Company bought Stanley H. Kaplan Educational Centers Ltd. and Kaplan continued working there as President and CEO.
In 1994 Kaplan retired from the Stanley H. Kaplan Educational Centers, Ltd so that he could spend more time working on the Foundation he created. In August 2009 he passed away at the age of 90, leaving his legacy to millions of students and Kaplan employees.
In 2006, as a result of a merger between Kaplan, Inc. and Aspect Education, Kaplan Aspect emerged. Kaplan Aspect operates under Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions division, the English language training division of Kaplan, Inc.
Kaplan was established in 1938 and provides educational and career services to individuals, schools and businesses, while Aspect, headquartered in London, UK, was established in 1967 as a provider of educational programs and services to students and professionals.
The merger combined Kaplan's 17 schools within the English language training division with Aspect's 19 international schools. Kaplan Aspect continued to expand its network with the acquisition of the International House Queensland in Australia in 2007 and the Pacific Language Institute (PLI) in Canada in 2008 and the WELS Group in 2009.
In September 2009 Kaplan announced it combined its international English language division, Kaplan Aspect, and university preparation programs, Kaplan International Colleges, into one business unit under the Kaplan International Colleges name.
Kaplan International Colleges (KIC) has educational partnerships with top UK universities that deliver academic programs to prepare students for entry to higher education degree programs at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
With 45+ accredited schools for adults and young learners across 8 English-speaking countries, Kaplan International Colleges offers world-class English language education and the experience of a lifetime. We offer a range of courses for students aged 12 and up, and have done so for more than 40 years. Last year, more than 70,000 students traveled and studied with us, and 9 of 10 would recommend us to friends and family.

Craig Ferguson Gets a Little Weirded Out by Henry Winkler's Love for Trout (VIDEO)
Winkler takes a vacation every year to go trout fishing with a strict catch-and-release policy, where he's picked up enough life lessons to put out a new book. 'I've Never Met an Idiot on the River: Reflections on Family, Photography, and Fly Fishing' is Winkler's love letter to the waterways that have brought him so much joy.
Enough joy to kiss a picture of him holding a trout in the book and say, "How are you? Nice to see you!" while making kiss-y gestures toward it.
"You're clearly out of your mind," Ferguson said at one point during the interview, but Winkler's enthusiasm is so infectious you find yourself smiling and nodding along. Even when he tells you he gives each trout an autographed picture before he throws it back in.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
This past weekend I spent Saturday afternoon visiting with an old friend up north, and what I found there was a poor understanding of what is going on in Carbon County.
My friend, whom I have known since before kindergarten because we grew up less than a block from one another, now lives in the little town of Oakley in Summit County. My oldest son and I decided to stop by and see him on our way to Park City where we were going to attend the last leg in a dog sled race that had begun the week before in Wyoming.
As we sat in his comfortable home that overlooks the Kamas Valley the conversation ran from catching up on things we had been doing since I last saw him in September to some of the people we went to high school with. Eventually the dialogue, as it usually does, turned to what had been going on locally and nationally. My friend tends to be liberal in his politics, but his Utah upbringing keeps him from going too far toward what many call eastern liberal thinking. Yet a comment he made about what he had been hearing and reading about Nine Mile Canyon caught my attention.
"I have been reading about what has been going on and my wife wants me to take her down there before the gas and oil companies destroy the place," he said to me as he tipped a bottle of Polygamy Porter into his mouth. My friend is a reader of the Salt Lake Tribune and some other periodicals. He also proudly told me not long before that statement came out of his mouth that for Christmas his kids had given him one of those satellite radio systems for his truck that he drives into the University of Utah where he works each day. He told me that he listens quite a bit to Radio American Left.
"I think maybe you have been listening a little too much to the Sierra Club and SUWA information," I said diplomatically. "There are other sides to the story of Nine Mile Canyon, and it is a very complicated situation that is not easily explained by only one or two sides. When discussing land issues in Carbon County or anywhere in rural Utah you have to take into account the fact that many people make their living off the land. There are the mineral industries and then there are the ranchers, the tourism business and just people who want to recreate there too."
My friend is a very reasonable man, but I also saw that I struck a nerve about the situation a little, probably because he had read so much negative about development in our area.
"The problem I see is if they let all those who want to do anything they want do it, everything will get ruined," he said.
So for the next ten minutes I spent some time explaining what had been going on with the new Bureau of Land Management RMP, the Nine Mile Advisory Committee, some of the improvements that had been made in the canyon. I also told him about some of the things that have been done with the cooperation of the BLM, the county, various other agencies and the gas exploration companies.
"I think most importantly people need to know that the canyon has a very high percentage of private property in it, and those people have a right to use their property as they see fit," I said. I also explained that the actual gas exploration he had been reading about lie on plateau above the canyon itself. But I also told him that the canyon was being used for the traffic that goes to the fields as well as by timbering companies. I explained that much of the problem in the canyon itself had to do with the road, which is something the Nine Mile Advisory Committee as well as the county is working on.
I could tell after he had listened to me, I hadn't exactly changed his mind, but he was starting to understand that the explanation for what he saw going on wasn't just a one sided environmental story or simply a case of big business trying to trash a place to get out the resources.
Later, as we drove away from his house toward Park City it began to make me think about what is going on in the west. Here is friend of mine who owns a number of acres in what has been a fairly rural place in the state that faces many of the same issues we in Carbon County do. Once I explained the situation on a personal level, views he had developed from "official" sources became more softened. That made me realize that it takes all of us to get our view of what is going on in our county out to the world.
When I was in college in the early 1970's I once sat by student from Lebanon. The class we were in was a political science course on the middle east and each day he would report to me what was going on in his country from the viewpoint of his family who still lived in Beirut. He once told me to compare the reports I heard on the nightly news about the situation in his country with what he was telling me.
"You will find the local view of what is going on very different from what you are reading in the papers and watching on television here," he told me once.
He was right; his version of the politics and the conflict going on there was very different, and gave me a whole new perspective on the middle east, and on the Arab/Israeli problem. I think many of those in this state outside our area as well as out of state are in the literally the same boat about what is going on here.
What other people often see and read about our area, particularly when it comes to federal and state lands and energy development, doesn't always tell the whole story or the entire truth. In my mind everyone who lives here has the chance to influence the thinking of people outside our area about issues that are important to us and our county.
In fact, based on the importance of these matters to our countys well being, I believe that isn't just optional, but is an important responsibility everyone who lives here should take to heart.
