| Police Seek Killer of Homeless Woman
Police detectives in East Point have a murder mystery on their hands. They are trying to figure out who killed a homeless woman and left her body on the grounds of a church, where shocked members discovered it as they entered the building.
It was a shocking discovery, made at a shocking location. Early Sunday morning, as members made their way into East Point's First Baptist Church for Sunday School, they found a body lying in a breezeway, leading into the church.
“They saw the body, and thought he was asleep," said First Baptist pastor Charles Worthy.
The medical examiner's office has not yet identified the victim, though they said she died from blunt force trauma to the head.
As news of the gruesome discovery quick spread throughout the congregation, Worthy made sure everyone was told to pray for all parties involved.

New data show fluticasone furoate nasal spray effectively treated ...
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) today announced the presentation of new data on fluticasone furoate nasal spray (FFNS), an enhanced affinity intranasal corticosteroid (INS) currently in development for use in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. The data, presented today at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy & Immunology (AAAAI) in San Diego, are from three phase III clinical trials conducted in seasonal allergic rhinitis (commonly known as hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis which demonstrated efficacy in treating a range of nasal allergy symptoms, i.e. congestion, sneezing, itchy and runny nose (posters 1190, 908, 910, 906 and 254). The two studies in seasonal allergy demonstrated efficacy in improving ocular symptoms of burning/itching, redness and watering of the eyes.
Christopher’s Savvy Guide to Podcasting - Part One: Introduction
I call it a "savvy" guide to Podcasting, because once you finish reading it you will be "more savvy than the average bear" (with a nod to Yogi Bear) on everything related to Podcasting! A Blip or a Movement? While I was writing this series during a period that starting in late 2005, and much of 2006, a number of Wall Street and venture capital types began to weigh in on Podcasting as a blip in the business and entertainment culture, versus a true movement of change. I, and many others who have been at the forefront of past technology shifts, strongly disagree with this view. I remember being on the launch team of an e-commerce Web site in 1995 and then going to business seminars in 1996 where various business and financial opinion leaders were stating emphatically that online shopping would not take off, and cited the example that women preferred to lay on the couch and dog-ear pages in fashion catalogs — which could not be done online.
A sweeping diary
Horses from here to Montana are getting on their fastest snow shoes because it's February and that means ski-joring is on. The extreme sport pairs daring horsemen and women on the truest, fastest horses pulling the bravest skiers through a challenging snow course of jumps and ring catches created by The Wood River Extreme Ski-Joring Association (WRESJA), a nationally sanctioned group of ski and equine enthusiasts who took over the event two years ago. Opening ceremonies begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, February 24, and race finals will be Sunday, February 25. Organizers also will honor two familiar faces who loved the games, both of whom lost their lives in separate accidents last fall—Mama Inez' restaurant's former owner Mark Fisher and longtime valley builder Mo Hinajosa.
