State Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Acworth) was recently named chair of the House Science and Technology Committee. The committee "is responsible for legislation that promotes the appropriate and safe development and use of science and technological advances in the state," according to the committee's website. The assignment worries some in the biotech industry, according to a story in Wednesday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution. They fear that Setzler, who has led efforts to ban research on embryonic stem cells and sponsored a bill that makes it illegal to implant people with microchips against their will, could impede advances in the industry, according to the AJC.

Would tightening gun regulations really prevent violent crimes or even deter them?
In light of the recent shootings in Aurora and Oak Creek, the debate over gun regulation in the United States has reared its ugly head yet again. Across all forms of social media the citizens exchange opinions on firearms in the United States, presenting statistics and quotes that affirm their positions. We’re human, though, and we tend to make rash statements out of emotion that we normally wouldn’t make and in fact might normally find completely absurd. Let’s take a look at the tighter-control brigade’s position. Proponents of tighter gun control claim that clamping down on a citizen’s ability to obtain certain firearms will make it considerably more difficult for psychopaths like James Holmes to obtain such weapons and therefore may …

The new business holds its ribbon-cutting today at 11:30 a.m. in downtown Kennesaw.
Robin Jones will be realizing a dream today in downtown Kennesaw. That's when the Marietta resident will officially cut the ribbon to open her first retail business, Cottontail Quilts. Located at 2259 Lewis St. across from the Kennesaw Library, the quilt shop is housed in a beautiful 112-year-old Southern home owned by longtime Kennesaw resident Joe Bozeman and his family. "Strip shopping centers just didn't have the feel I needed," said Jones in recounting how she visited downtown Kennesaw to look at properties. "I took one look at this house and knew I was supposed to be here. This is it." Jones started quilting 15 years ago and was recently laid off from her corporate job. She decided now was better than any other time to launch her …

Take your pick of which tweet summed up North Cobb Christian's stunning 65-63 home loss to St. Francis in the first round of the Georgia High School Association's Class A boys basketball playoffs Saturday night: Perhaps North Cobb Christian, ranked No. 1 in Georgia in Class A, was looking ahead to an expected second-round game against second-ranked Whitefield, the team that knocked the Eagles out of the playoffs last year. Perhaps the Eagles had a letdown after completing an undefeated regular season with a Region 6-A championship win over crosstown rival Mount Paran Christian. Perhaps the regular-season schedule wasn’t rough enough to prepare the Eagles for tournament pressure. Perhaps St. Francis played its best game of the season. Or …

Agreed! I'm not a big fan of Setzler's but his is ridiculous! You are anti science if you don't agree with micro-chipping humans against their will? What is this? Nazi Germany? more ›
