Developer loses land for proposed casino | Business
ATLANTA -- A developer's attempt to build a gambling complex in Norcross has suffered a setback.
Dan O'Leary no longer controls the Norcross property where he proposed building Georgia's first casino.
An O'Leary spokesperson said the developer had extended his contract for the property seven times, but recently decided not to extend it again. He isn't giving up on his hopes for a casino though.
"As long as the HOPE scholarship is around, we're not going to go away," O'Leary said in a statement. "We'll always be shovel ready and ready to go."
Georgia approved lottery games two decades ago to fund HOPE, but subsequent attempts to expand gambling in the state have failed.
O'Leary had proposed installing 7,500 video lottery terminals run by the state lottery at the proposed casino.
His spokesperson said he is now talking with other local property owners about prospects.

I did my PhD in microbiology and moleculatr biology in The University of Queensland, Australia. During my PhD I worked and published on a variety of projects including developing a new lentiviral vector based on JDV (Jembrana Disease Virus), translational regulation in HCV by small RNA-binding molecules and the viral core protein, and RNA-protein interactions in positive strand RNA viruses. During this time I was also involved in cloning the Australian isolate of HCV with Dr Eric Gowans. My findings in these projects were published in a variety of journal including PNAS, Hepatology, and Journal of Molecular Biology.My next stop was a postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Harry Noller at the RNA Center in UCSC where I delved deeper into the RNA world and studied the helicase activity of the ribosome during translation. Our work was well received and published in Cell.
I started my Internal Medicine residency at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo in 2003. During the last year of my residency I took part in a research project led by Dr Sands on the role of TIMP-1 in reactive airway disease. Our work was published in Clinical Immunology. I was then recruited to the Pulmonary Critical Care Fellowship at Yale in 2007, and worked with Dr J Elias to set up a platform for analyzing the role of microRNAs in the lung disease using the transgenic models that have been developed in his lab. I started this work on an inducible, lung-specific, VEGF transgenic model and within the first year of the project found a microRNA that was regulated by VEGF and mediated the effects of this cytokine in the lung. Based on these findings we filed a patent on the diagnsostic and therapeutic use of miR-1 in lung disease. I received a K99/R00 award in the third year of my clinical fellowship for my work on this project. I was directly recruited as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Yale Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Section at the end of my fellowship.
Since starting my tenure track position in 2010 I have been awarded the AAP (American Association of Physicians) Junior Investigator Award for my work on microRNAs in the lung and have given invited presentations at various international conferences. Our work on the role of VEGF-miR-1 axis in lung Th2 inflammation was published in Journal of Experimental Medicine. I successfully transitioned to the R00 (Independent investigator) phase of my NIH grant in 2013. I have recruited and worked with two postdoctoral fellows and three Associate Research Scientists over the last three years. My research currently focuses on the role of vascular non-coding RNAs in Th2 inflammation, lung injury and cancer.

Story highlights
- Senate Judiciary Committee considers amendments to "Gang of Eight" bill for eight hours
- Panel rejects major changes to border control provisions in the bill
- Panel set to resume consideration of the bill next Tuesday
- If enacted, the plan would be the first overhaul of U.S. immigration policy since 1986
Members of a key Democratic-controlled Senate panel cast the first congressional votes on a sweeping bipartisan immigration reform bill on Thursday, turning back the first GOP attempts to beef up the legislation's border security provisions.
The Senate Judiciary Committee met for eight hours, debating and holding votes on more than 30 proposed amendments.
A majority of the amendments were adopted, but no key provisions in the 844-page bill were significantly altered.
"When it comes to border security, for whatever reason, Democrats are going to be inclined to say it is secure and Republicans are going to be inclined to say it's not," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina.
"I'm not blaming anybody, but that's the way this thing's going to break out in terms of votes."
Graham and Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake -- part of the "Gang of Eight" senators responsible for crafting the bill -- sided with the committee's Democrats on the key votes.
The four Democrats and four Republicans in the "Gang of Eight" have promised to oppose any major changes to the bill.
"The gang stuck together, as we were told they would, on anything that's significantly impacting their legislation that they drafted with their friends," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, a leading critic of the bill.
"I know it. And everybody needs to know it -- who's calling the shots."
Another member of the "Gang of Eight" on the committee, New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, urged his colleagues to "be constructive."
"Don't make an effort to kill a bill that is the best hope for immigration reform," Schumer said. This is the "best hope to (overcome) the partisan gridlock that has strangled the Senate, the Congress and the country."
Among the amendments rejected by the committee: a proposal from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to block the legalization of any undocumented resident until "effective" control of the entire U.S.-Mexico border has been established for six months.
A majority on the committee also rejected a proposal by Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz to triple the number of U.S. Border Patrol agents along the Mexican border, while quadrupling the level of equipment and other assets along the border, including cameras, sensors, drones, and helicopters.
Cruz's amendment, similar to Grassley's, would have blocked any legalization of undocumented residents until "operational control" of the entire Mexican border has been established.
Flake and other opponents of Cruz's amendment argued it would cost tens of billions of dollars -- a fiscally irresponsible move when Congress is trying to cut deficit spending.
The bill as currently written commits additional resources to southern border security and establishes a new system of metrics to measure border control effectiveness, but critics insist the plan is full of holes and will ultimately do little to help stem to the tide of illegal immigration.
While claiming to strengthen the border, the legislation would also create a 13-year path to citizenship for most undocumented immigrants while bringing dramatic change to labor policy on America's farms.
If enacted, the plan would constitute the first overhaul of the nation's immigration policy since 1986.
Proponents say the change is necessary to permanently and fairly resolve the status of roughly 11 million undocumented residents. Critics insist the proposed change amounts to amnesty, rewarding those who chose to break the country's immigration laws.
The Judiciary Committee is set to continue its consideration of the "Gang of Eight" bill next Tuesday.

The Last Stand
Directed by Jee-woon Kim
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Luis Guzmán, Johnny Knoxville
Rated R for strong bloody violence throughout, and language
1 hr. 47 mins.
I went to see this film as much out of curiosity as anything else. After all, it's Arnold's first major role post-governator, post-philanderer. I wondered if he could still carry his weight as the headliner in another action film.
Well, he's older here and not nearly as hunky as Conan, but one thing he's developed with age: a sense of humor. After all, he's cast here as a casual sheriff in a small Arizona border town who moseys around in shorts and loafers. He's the epitome of Arnold gone soft.
Still, when a host of bad guys come to town, the question comes around: Can he shake off the rust and kick some butt? Uh, yeah. He can. Maybe a little slower and a little more bowlegged, but he's still tough, in a nice sort of way.
FBI agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) is in Las Vegas to escort dangerous Mexican cartel drug lord Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega) to death row. Predictably, Cortez, who seems also to be something of a military guru, makes a daring escape and burns out of town in a high-powered Corvette. With Cortez headed for Mexico at almost 200 miles per hour, and the way that Bannister is acting, it doesn't seem as though anyone can stop him.
In the meantime, a man named Burrell (Peter Stormare) has been hired by Cortez to build a temporary bridge across a canyon that crosses from the U.S. into Mexico. The bridge, an escape route for Cortez, just happens to be located on the outskirts of Sheriff Ray Owens' (Arnold Schwarzenegger) little hamlet called Sommerton Junction.
Sommerton is so remote, it has a total of one sheriff and three deputies. This against Cortez and his large paramilitary outfit. When one of Owens' deputies is killed by Burrell's crew, he learns from Bannister what he's up against. It's David versus Goliath times a dozen.
Is the sheriff intimidated? Well, he says he's scared, but in Arnold's thick Bavarian accent, he announces to his astounded officers, "I think I have an idea." An idea that involves an old Gatling gun and a school bus. Needless to say, bullets fly and lots of cars and storefronts and the school bus get destroyed. Not to mention some poor farmer's corn field.
It seems to me that Korean director Jee-woon Kim has a thing for Westerns. In an earlier film he piloted, one called The Good, the Bad, the Weird, he humorously steals his plot from all those 1960s spaghetti Westerns and mixes in a nice blend of shoot 'em up, slapstick and kung fu.
Here, he takes a shot at 1950s films like High Noon, pitting the good guy against a bunch of bad guys, making the odds seem insurmountable, framing the local sheriff and his group of loyal followers as the town's best and last hope. The difference here is, Kim likes it funny, and funny he achieves.
This is a typical action film with an overflow of high-caliber weaponry and big explosions, but you can't argue with the cast, which includes the cockeyed Johnny Knoxville as a Rocky the Squirrel lookalike weapons collector and Luis Guzmán as one of Owens most loyal (and skeptical) deputies.
The Last Stand is mostly paint by numbers, but Kim knows his Westerns and manages to bring gusto to a tired genre. Arnold also seems to delight in poking fun at himself.
In the end you have to ask: Did I enjoy myself? Did the film make me laugh? I say yes on both counts. This may be a video rental for some, but on a big screen, with Arnold scowling and the humor fast and furious, it feels like an old friend has returned.

That was as dominant a first half of football that we've played since I've been the head coach against a quality opponent. That was really strong football and probably the best half we've played yet collectively. —Bronco Mendenhall, BYU head coach
Two weeks ago, nine ranked teams went down including five that were ranked in the top 10. This week, teams across the nation seemed to get the message as they took care of business. Of the 25 teams that were ranked, only six teams went down. Out of those six, four lost to other ranked opponents.
For the third week in a row, at least two teams ranked in the top 10 lost. This past weekend, then-No. 5 Missouri and No. 10 Texas Tech both fell from the unbeaten ranks, losing to South Carolina and Oklahoma, respectively.
Meanwhile, the top four teams in the country continued to distance themselves from the rest of the field as they steamrolled their way to impressive wins this past weekend. Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State combined to outscore their opponents 199-55.
The local in-state teams had some big-name opponents this past weekend in Boise State and USC — so how did they fare?
After one of the biggest wins in Utah football history (over then-No. 5 Stanford) just two weeks ago, the Utes have come out flat the past two games, losing to both USC and Arizona on the road.
"We've got to do some soul searching offensively," coach Kyle Whittingham told the Deseret News, who added that the coaching staff would need to figure out the deficiencies and get them corrected. "That's the bottom line. We've got really no throw game right now. The run game wasn't a whole lot better."
The turnovers, he continued, are really what have led to the team's demise in its four losses this season.
The Utes have a bye week this week, which comes at a perfect time for the team as they deal with injuries and figuring out what they need to do in order to turn things around.
With only four games remaining, the Utes will have to win at least two games if they want to go bowling this year. Next up for the Utes is a Nov. 9 showdown against the Pac-12 South leaders, No. 25 Arizona State.
Boise State came into Friday's night game with a 20-game winning streak over opponents from the state of Utah. The Cougars made sure the Broncos' streak did not get to 21 as they took care of business Friday night.
BYU dominated the game right from the get-go as they jumped out to a 24-3 halftime lead. The Cougars coasted from there as they won 37-20.
"It was a really big win for our program," quarterback Taysom Hill told the Deseret News, noting that it was BYU's first-ever victory over the Broncos. Hill continued his impressive performance with another great game. Hill threw for 339 yards, three touchdowns and most importantly, no interceptions.
BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall talked about the win, saying, "It was a big game, a big stage, against a really good opponent. ... That was as dominant a first half of football that we've played since I've been the head coach against a quality opponent. That was really strong football and probably the best half we've played yet collectively."
Just like the Utes, the Cougars also have a bye week this week before they take on No. 22 Wisconsin in a nationally televised game, either on ESPN or ABC at 1:30 p.m. MT.
Utah State
After having a bye week last week, the Aggies will look to keep their momentum going as they take on Hawaii this Saturday at Romney Stadium. The Aggies are still very much in the running to claim the top spot in the Mountain Division as they are tied atop the standings with Boise State.
Darell Garretson looks to get the starting nod again at quarterback for the Aggies. Despite it being his first career start against New Mexico, the true freshman was efficient and accurate on his throws. Garretson finished the day 15-of-23 passing for 144 yards, a touchdown and most importantly, did not turn the ball over.
If the Aggies want to continue their winning ways, they will have to protect their young quarterback, make big plays and win the turnover battle.
Utah State will be counting on its fans not only for support, but to set a new record as well. The Aggies are looking for their fourth consecutive home sellout this year. Selling out the first three home games this year marked the first time in the 46-year history of Romney Stadium that USU has recorded three-straight sellouts. Prior to 2013, USU had never recorded three sellouts in the same season at Romney Stadium.
After playing four of its first five games of the year on the road, Utah State is concluding the 2013 campaign by playing three of its final four games at home.
So what do the national media members think about the local teams?
Every week, USA Today's Paul Myerberg re-ranks all the college football teams. Utah was the only local team to drop in the rankings, as it fell from No. 51 to No. 59. BYU jumped up seven spots to come in at No. 26, knocking on the top 25 door. Utah State, even with its bye, moved up 10 spots to come in at No. 57.
Like USA Today, CBS Sports also updates its rankings after every week in the college football season. So where do they rank the Utes, Cougars and Aggies?
BYU is the first team to check in, coming in at No. 29. The Cougars' impressive victory over Boise State didn't sway voters too much as they moved up just one spot. As for the Utes, last weekend's loss to USC dropped them four spots as they check in at No. 46. Utah State dropped a spot to come in at No. 71 even though it did not play a game last week due to its bye.
The Sagarin rankings come from Jeff Sagarin, who is a well-known sports statistician who developed a methodology for ranking and rating a variety of sports. The NCAA has used his ratings for events such as the NCAA tournament, as well as the BCS.
Looking over his latest rankings, we can see that the Cougars moved up four spots to come in at No. 24, while the Utes dropped four spots to No. 39. Utah State dropped one spot to come in at No. 41. Looking at strength of schedule, we see that the Utes have faced the fourth-toughest schedule nationally, while BYU and USU's schedules come in at a respectable 21 and 47.
Out of all the rankings, the one that draws the most attention is the Bowl Championship Series standings. Those results now come out every Sunday night and will decide who will play for the BCS National Championship as well as the remaining big-money BCS bowls.
While no local teams made the initial list of 25, they were all still ranked. BYU is knocking on the door as the Cougars check in at No. 28, while Utah and Utah State come in at No. 45 and No. 78, respectively.
Even though the Utes and Cougars have a bye this week, both teams still have plenty of ranked teams they will face come November, including Arizona State, Oregon, Wisconsin and Notre Dame.
If Utah State can get past Hawaii this Saturday, they will be one win away from bowl eligibility — and if some luck bounces their way, the Aggies could represent their division in the Mountain West title game in which their opponent looks to be a ranked Fresno State team out of the West Division.

Dear Mattel,
I have read and understood that you're not planning on making any changes to the sculpts of the figures and vehicles shown at SDCC:
...however, I would really like you to reconsider in the case of Swift Wind. You have gone to great lengths to make all of the figures in this MOTUC line include some kind of extra feature, and the fans have appreciated it. Whether it's an extra head sculpt for Bow, or even making all of Battle Cat's armor removable like the vintage figure, it's shown that you're willing to give your customers something extra for their money, considering the higher price point on these figures.3: All of the figures revealed at SDCC are final sculpts. By the time you are seeing them, we are past the point of making any actual sculpt changes!
Beautiful as Swift Wind is, many people have noticed that his "collar" piece does not come off. If your goal was to make a Swift Wind figure and then later sell a Spirit figure with a different sculpt, one can't help but wonder why the mask, wings and saddle were made to come off the figure. The collar is the only piece left that keeps this horse from looking...well, like a normal horse. Yes, removing the wings will leave two holes on either side of the figure, but I think we're willing to overlook that. Making this collar removable is the last touch the toy needs to be as "transformable" as his vintage counterpart. Plus, if you plan on releasing other horses down the line, chances are you'll be needing a collar-free sculpt anyway. Why not make the change now, and include a slip-on collar for Swift Wind?
There has also been a LOT of talk about Swifty's "wind-blown" hair. I like the idea more than the execution. Something a little tamer perhaps would have yielded better results. Though it's clear you don't give the 4Horsemen critiques on their work, surely you must agree that it's hard to imagine this horse perched on someone's shelf looking like there's an invisible fan blowing air directly at his face and nowhere else. Plus, I doubt you'd want future horses (especially Arrow, who doesn't fly) looking like this. Why not take the time to tweak the hair now?
Lastly, as you well know, Filmation Spirit comes with a "crown" of sorts that fits around his ears and forehead. You've already made this horse's mask removable - why not include the Spirit crown? Fans are ready and willing to buy a "Royal Swiftwind" in the style of the vintage figure, so you don't have to try and save Spirit for later just to get more use out of the mold. As it is, you can later make Arrow, Royal Swiftwind and possibly even Frosta's horse, should you so wish.
Why not make Swift Wind perfect? Without knowing the time and cost it would take to make these changes, I can tell you that as someone who hasn't yet purchased a MOTUC figure, fixing him in this way would convince me to invest in this line. After seeing that you had the Filmation rights, I was really looking forward to making Swifty my first purchase. For 30 dollars plus shipping though, I'd like this figure to have that same kind of attention to detail that makes so many other fans so loyal and enthused about this line. As it stands, Swifty really doesn't come with any real bonuses. Being able to half-change him into Spirit isn't a special feature and just makes him seem half-finished, especially since you're likely going to end up changing or tweaking the sculpt in the future.
Do so now instead. Fans like myself will certainly support your efforts to make this guy all he can be!
Sincere thanks,
If you agree with this plea, please add your voice to mine!
