ON CAMPUS BC prof's study: Marriage has adverse effects on relationships In a study that pits itself against traditional academic beliefs, Natalia Sarkisian, a professor of sociology at Boston College, along with Naomi Gerstel of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, found that marriage can be destructive to previously made friendships. After she finished analyzing two nationwide social surveys, Sarkisian concluded that married couples spend less time socializing with friends, neighbors, and families than their single counterparts. The research consequently argues that marriage may not actually be a cornerstone of a healthy society, as previously believed, but that it is harming communities across the nation.

UNDER REPORTED Bearded dragon lizard finds particular way to 'play' Seven-year-old Finley Collins recently got a taste for the animal behavior usually reserved for shows on Animal Planet or the Discovery Channel when she noticed something odd about her pet lizard, a 12-inch bearded dragon. Collins believed that her pet lizard was giving birth when she noticed an unusual protrusion near the lizard's tail, and excitingly notified her father about the oncoming of a new family member. Upon inspection, however, Collins' father thought otherwise, rushing the lizard to the local vet, where the veterinarian extracted a 7-inch toy lizard. "I've never extracted a lizard from another lizard before," said veterinarian John Rossi.
