Homeland Security USA

If you have been so focused on inauguration the past few weeks, you may have missed ABC's newest show,

Homeland Security USA

Is this show any different from something you would see on TruTV?

Should the shows on TruTV be allowed, as it may "give anybody any ideas" as steford said on one of the message boards? Could the same not be said for video games, cable tv, and movies?

While the quality of the show is not what one may expect from a major network, the content provides a public understanding of a "day in the life" of someone working at DHS.

After all, it is about Neighbors Helping Neighbors. And Homeland Security USA helps us understand the jobs are neighbors in our community are doing to help protect us.

Please note, Homeland Security USA should not be consfused with D.H.S. The Series.

MSN Public Service Announcement - Renew America Together and Be The Change

It is not too late to volunteer for the National Day of Service!

"Editor's note: In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, MSN is running a public service announcement for usaservice.org. Why is it running in this space, where we normally highlight interesting popular searches? Usaservice.org is all about searching for ways to help others out.

What's below was written by MSN staff.

Martin Luther King Jr. paid the steepest price in his service to his country. And his personal sacrifice in order to improve conditions for the less fortunate continues to inspire. On this MLK holiday weekend, one Web site in particular is asking you to get involved.

Usaservice.org is a nonprofit Web site from some of the people behind Barack Obama's wildly successfully campaign site. It calls for visitors to "renew America together." How? The premise is simple. It connects people to events and vice versa. A public service match-up, if you will.
They're asking people to volunteer during the holiday weekend -- and beyond.

The site makes it a snap to search for and find local volunteer opportunities as well as post a call for others to help with an event you're hosting. As of Jan. 14, more than 8,500 events have been registered on the site.

How can you get involved? It all starts here."
