The emotional decision to let a father jailed for decades out on bond while his 'shaken baby' conviction gets a second look; About that $128-million warehouse the government just bought to whip into an immigrant detention center—there's been a 'change of plans.'

A metro Atlanta congressional district is about to have a representative. Why the trip to DC might be a short one; The state's handing out of federal money to up the efficiency of folks' houses and apartments is no secret.
