We Are Scientists' new album "With Love and Squalor" delivers infectious hooks through the entirety of this strong pop album - just don't dig too far below the surface.Every track is single-worthy and very radio friendly, with generic lyrics filtered through faux-Cure-style vocals. In fact, dance beats and a singer trying to be Robert Smith make WAS sound like The Killers' demo tapes before they discovered the synthesizer.

When did you really first realize, "Man, I'm really fast?"I say my senior year of high school. I didn't start off fast; as a freshman, I ran like a 4.9, 5 flat in the 40. A lot of other people were fast since the eighth grade and were fast when they came to high school.

When Turner hears his partner has been killed in action, he is forced to take drastic measures.

Black History Month, started in 1926 as "Negro History Week," was an initiative to get black history recognized and taught in school. Prior to this, prominent blacks had been left out of the history books or, when mentioned, were mentioned in order to exhibit their inferiority.Black History Month was an important and needed initiative. Americans were missing an important part of their historical roots and needed to learn about their past - a past that is not confined to white men.

Black History Month begins today with a student-led discussion and a worship service setting the stage for a month of cultural events.Assistant Director of Intercultural Education and Services Greg Trevino said the goal of Black History Month is, "to educate and promote awareness of different cultures that do not share the same mainstream attention."
