Chattahoochee River rapid reopened after rafters flipped into water

Built for the extreme, not the majority. I have seen this in many recreational activities in which X-Game type people are in charge of the design. But hey, the world champion enjoys the challenge.

Putin: US-Russia positions on Syria don't coincide

Why would Putin care about the violence in Syria? He doesn't. He does care about the oil.

It's just wrong for non US citizens to be allowed to vote in a Federal election, no matter which party you support.

Web giants get broader surveillance revelations

I agree Americans don't stand up and band together on much.

Anyone who posts electronic info and doesn't realize that info is open source is fooling themselves. Text, email, of course facebook, twitter, etc.

The US Government likes the INTEL collection network, and uses it to the full extent. They do have a hard time keeping up, but once the cross hairs are placed on a person or 'target", all their info is easy to obtain. However, it also makes collecting INTEL by our enemies easier.

Oh I forgot, the ABH forums too.

Why is anyone shocked he is in the USA? Name an easier place to hide on this earth. Anywhere else he would receive more attention.

Boy Scouts disappointed Caterpillar drops support

The Boy Scouts are not what they used to be. I sponsored a community project and was very disappointed in the Scouts AND their parents. Block checkers looking for the easy way to an Eagle badge, not willing to do the work, or put in the time required. Changed my opinion of them. The parents were the worst. They certainly didn't earn it, but got credit for it.

Athens man attacked by pack of dogs is on the mend

I fought off a pack of dogs in Morocco with a knife I bought at a market. They were eating a dead body in a graveyard, so I was curious. They didn't like that. If I had ran, they would have had me for sure.

Ex-Ga. officer in Texas parade crash accused of lying about medal

I had a friend killed in that accident, and others injured. It's odd someone would lie about that.

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    Links to Banner-Herald's award-winning sports stories

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
