New names for MARTA stations
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
MARTA is considering new names for four existing rail stations: Ashby, Bankhead, West End and Civic Center.
Custom-made signs would need to be built and installed throughout, at a cost approaching $1 million, according to a MARTA study.
Is the expense worth it?
Got some ideas for alternative names for various MARTA stations?
Bill would require cervical cancer shots for 6th-graders
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia is one of at least 18 states considering a law that would require every girl entering the sixth grade to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus, commonly known as HPV, which causes cervical cancer.
Jim Beck, president of the Georgia Christian Coalition, said that while he agrees with the goal of SB 155 to reduce cervical cancer in women, he knows many parents who object to the vaccine on religious and moral grounds.
What do you think? Do you support the proposed legislation?

Some religious groups oppose mandating a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease. Others worry about how poor or uninsured families would pay for it.
