My small community in metro Atlanta is making headlines today after more than 15" of rain is causing record-breaking flooding around the area.  At the last news updates, hundreds of local roads are closed and it doesn't appear that the rain will let up any time soon.  Thankfully, myself and my family are not in direct harm at this present time, but ( Read more... )

By now, I'm sure most of you have heard about the criminal case involving the beating of a 16-year old girl by 6 other girls with the assistance of 2 boys.  What makes this case interesting is that much of the beating was caught on video, with the intention of posting it on YouTube.  You don't have to see the whole thing to see how brutal this ( Read more... )
