Gettin' any? No, thanks, I got some:
NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ? New York City spruced up its relentless safe sex ad campaign, urging New Yorkers to "get some" on Valentine's Day.

Subway ads displaying the new slogan will be plastered about the city and across city buses, with a television and radio campaign to hit the airwaves soon.

What ethnic subset has as much clout as expatriate Cubans in Miami? Seems like the Vietnamese in San Jose -- 100,000 of them -- would like to get there. There's a big fight over whether the Vietnamese business district should be called the Saigon Business District or Little Saigon:
Try not to do anything stupid today that will prove the theory of natural selection:

For the "well, duh" file:
Studies show the most affluent students are six times more likely than the poorest to earn a bachelor's degree by age 24 . . .
