-Call it Storage Wars: The Georgia Edition. Cable's A & E network has a winner on its hands with the show "Storage Wars," where select bidders jostle to buy abandoned goods in repossessed storage bays. That's becoming something of a trend in Northwest Georgia as well. Natalie Simms reports.
-GOP battle brewing for Saxby Chambliss in 2014: The two-term U.S. senator hasn't impressed the Club for Growth -- which means you can expect Republican challenges, perhaps one with a very familiar name.
-Break up the Rome Braves -- please. A dreadful "first season" in 2012 ended Sunday with the home team in the very basement of the 14-team South Atlantic League. The celebratory tenth season here is light on on-field fireworks. There's time for changes as the second season opens Thursday.
