A new study suggests widely held perceptions about low-income and African-American fathers as not being involved in the lives of their children can be largely unfounded. Data collected over 15 years in Syracuse, New York, reveal that even in cases of incarceration or living under the federal poverty line, most low-income fathers stay connected to their children.

Law Enforcement Should Not Be Able to Bypass the Fourth Amendment to Search Your DevicesSending your computer to Best Buy for repairs shouldn’t require you to surrender your Fourth Amendment rights. But that’s apparently what’s been happening when customers send their computers to a Geek Squad repair facility in Kentucky.
We think the FBI’s use of Best Buy Geek Squad employees to search people’s computers without a warrant threatens to circumvent people’s constitutional rights. That’s why we fi
Up-and-coming Ohio emcee, Stevie Sarado, takes jabs at the current wave of copycat rappers in his latest satire "TRAPped." The track parodies trending styles in rap as Stevie aims to out-do newer artists, by not just mimicking, but also by improving upon popular styles and flows.

By Shenita EtwarooThe Canadian Seal Hunt accounts for the largest slaughter of marine animals in the world. Canada issues permits that allow the killing of some 325,000 seals a year, along with an added bounty of 10,000 Harp Seals. The Canadian government has continually defended the practice, claiming that the hunt does not impact the seal population-a statement the environmentalists and animal lovers refuse to accept.
