Here are a few ways to run safely as the days become shorter: No matter how much reflective detailing decorates your sneakers, and no matter how bright your neon windbreaker seems, you Read more
Tasers are not without controversy, but the Taser C2 ($400) is hoping to change all of that. Our hope is that you will never need to use it, but if you do find yourself in serious trouble, the Taser C2 will immobilize your attacker for a full 30 seconds — enough time for you to run and find help. And unlike pepper spray, you won't have to worry about the wind blowing the spray back at you. Read more

Because of the political ad threatening to expose Santana, we watch her deal with her sexuality, and the support she gets (and doesn't get) from those around her. It brings out a soft side of Finn (no, that's not a reference to Santana's preferred insults for Finn), who Read more
Though the ease of online communications can be a tempting way to vent or make new friends, sometimes it's best to resist, as was the case for a recent juror in Texas who Facebook messaged a defendant, then found himself guilty of four counts of contempt of court.
