WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Sept. 8, 2005) -- More than 100 Army Knowledge Online members from all over the country have offered their homes, support and care for families left homeless due to the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. The “Need Shelter, Have Shelter” forum reads like a classified ad section with AKO members who are eager to help out victims of Katrina posting their contact information, the space they have available, the number of people they are willing to take in, and any other type of information they feel would persuade a soldier or displaced military family to come stay...

Hi - pardon the vanity - anybody out there (lawyers?) know of a good place where I can ask a few questions about the law (MO in particular)? Thanks in advance!

So the Minutemen are crazy vigilantes and their supporters are racist thugs, right? Well you could have fooled me. I attended the immigration town hall forum in Carlsbad tonight, back on popular demand after city officials tried to shut it down. The move backfired; publicity from the attempted censorship bringing folks down from LA after they heard of it on KFI. I got there an hour early but the forum's four hundred seats were already filled. But I, along with several other members of the North Coast Republican Club, stuck around outside as the supporters of secure borders began a...

Should law schools be allowed to block military recruiters from campus? That's one of the first questions John Roberts will decide as a Supreme Court justice, should the Senate confirm him. The case, called Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic Rights, concerns the constitutionality of the Solomon Act, which mandates that law schools will lose their federal funding if they ban military recruiters. In 2003, a coalition of schools sued. Last year, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in their favor and declared the Solomon Act unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is scheduled to take up the matter in hearings beginning...

WASHINGTON - A handful of people at Democratic National Headquarters distributed material critical of Israel during a public forum questioning the Bush administration's Iraq policy, drawing an angry response and charges of anti-Semitism from party chairman Howard Dean on Friday. "We disavow the anti-Semitic literature, and the Democratic National Committee stands in absolute disagreement with and condemns the allegations," Dean said in a statement posted on the DNC Web site. Rep. John Conyers (news, bio, voting record) of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, organized the forum on Thursday at the Capitol to publicize and discuss the...

I hope this is the right way to ask this here 1) I've lurking here and rarly post , Normally I can navigate message boards with relative ease, but (at least for me) FR presents one of the more difficulte one to navigate. I mostly look at the latest threads and messages to see what current. How do the pro's here navigate FR? 2) Ok a lot of keywords added I get how some can see it relates :) but someone adds CARY to many unrelated posts, Is there a acronym I'm missing here? 3) When posting, on picking forums,...

Marcy's 13-year-old daughter has a knack for switching computer screens or shutting the laptop when mom walks in the room. Like in many families, the two often argue about whether mom has the right to see what her daughter is doing online. The conversation is never really resolved. But a few months ago, Marcy's need to keep up with her daughter's Internet travels took on a new urgency when she found an unfinished message on the screen urging a friend to check out her daughter's picture on a special Web page her daughter had set up. With that, Marcy made...

GENEVA (AFP) - Hundreds of activists appealed for a global tax on water and the creation of a "world water parliament" to protect its distribution, at the closing of the Alternative World Water Forum. The two-day forum's goal is to "promote the creation of a world public service for water" through a series of concrete measures, said Bastienne Joerchel of a Swiss charity group. The forum proposed introducing a one-cent tax on water worldwide, which would avoid having to use private funding for the distribution of water. A global water parliament -- expected to hold its first meeting in Brussels...

I've been reading FR for years now and during that time I've always found that the format for FR is rather confusing and convoluted. While I keep coming back I repeatedly find myself asking 'why this format?' I know that this was custom written by Jim Robinson and that's pretty cool. But having participated in a multitude of online communities I've seen many formats that work and many that don't. FR is unique in that it's need and user interest has overcome the usability issues that would normally drive off a user base but I still have to wonder -...

DAVOS, Switzerland (AFP) - Momentum was building behind an anti-poverty drive, as Germany's leader threw his weight behind proposals for more aid for the developing world and Britain's finance minister said public pressure for action could not be be ignored. "I now sense in 2005 that hundreds, then thousands, then millions in every continent are coming together with such a set of insistent demands, that no government, no politician, no world leader can afford to ignore them," Britain's finance minister Gordon Brown said at the World Economic Forum (news - web sites). Brown's intervention came a day after about 1,000...

I know we have some people posting up on itshappening that view Freerepublic. Can anyone tell me what happened?

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton on Thursday questioned the Bush administration's $80 billion request to finance the war in Iraq when "a pittance" of that amount would allow the United States to double its aid and help end massive poverty in Africa. Others at the World Economic Forum including Microsoft chief Bill Gates and British Prime Minister Tony Blair joined Clinton in urging rich countries to reach deeper into their pockets. "You want to go save 4 million lives?" Clinton asked. "Give them the medicine. It's not rocket science, and it's so cheap compared to everything else...
