1. So, you think you’re the Braves biggest fan? Talk about commitment, 23-year-old Laura Stallings from Cobb County skipped her chemotherapy treatment earlier this week to see Chipper Jones play one last time. After seeing the story and a photo of Stallings hold a “I skipped chemo to see Chipper" sign, the Braves decided to hook the young gal up with some tickets to the wildcard game this Friday, too.
2. Since the curtain closed on the first presidential debate in Denver last night (or really, since the second it opened), millions of fairy elves have been prancing around the interwebs hunting for a magical beast called “truth” — and fact-checking the hell out of both candidate’s claims. Results and rankings are still being worked out, it seems, but you’re in no short supply of places to fact-check the fact checkers.
3. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a new top dog to oversee the Atlanta Division, the FBI announced yesterday. Special Agent Mark Giuliano takes over the post with a lengthy background in FBI fieldwork and counterterrorism experience in the Southeast and around the country.
