SEATTLE — In his voluminous writings, Charles Darwin made only brief mention of a little fish called the stickleback.

The great naturalist was grappling with the question of how animals select mates, and male sticklebacks were a case in point: They construct nests of sand and weeds, attack rivals and dance feverishly to lure females.

But 200 years after Darwin's birth, the stickleback has become an unlikely superstar of evolutionary science.

It is a commonly believed beauty myth that brushing your hair 100 times will make it softer. This myth is said to have originated from the ancient Chinese.

In earlier times people, did not wash their hair nearly as much as we do now. Back then women wanted to brush their hair 100 times to distribute the scalps natural oil in order to keep the ends from drying out.

Renowned artist Simon Silva gave a presentation to students in the Upward Bound Trio Program Feb. 7 at the Veterans Memorial Building in Fremont. As a student in the Upward Bound Program, I was lucky enough to attend this event. Upward Bound, in general, takes low income families and helps students grades in high school and get into college.

Going into the presentation I thought it was going to be boring and my clothes were going to get dirty, but I was way wrong. When I arrived to the room I saw my fellow students watching old America's Funniest Home Videos programs, and I thought to myself this is going to be interesting.

Pastor Carl Wilkens will be visiting Logan next Tuesday to speak to students about his experiences during the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, his recent trip back to Rwanda, and his thoughts on the genocide in Darfur. It will be Wilkens’ second visit to Logan to speak on this topic.

Pastor Wilkens was the only American who stayed in Rwanda after the American Embassy sent everybody else back home. In an interview with Frontline for the documentary, “Ghosts of Rwanda”, Carl talked about his choice to remain. He said, “This sadness just kind of came over me, because now, if people in Rwanda ever needed help […] now was the time; and everybody's leaving.”
