The new top Cat spent six years as the head man at Heritage in Conyers, where he led the Patriots to playoff appearances in each of the last three seasons and was named region coach of the year once.

    Scott Morris found his stomach in knots for a second straight year. The Carrollton High School boys’ golf coach was all too familiar with the scenario that played out during last month’s Region 5-AAAA Tournament in Columbus — one of his top players would be moving on to state, the other would be packing it up and calling it a season. And once again it was the same two Trojans battling it out to advance as an individual to the GHSA State Golf Championships with the lowest score from a non-qu...

    By Caren Bohan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The technology industry and organized labor are locked in a fight that threatens to complicate the U.S. Senate's immigration bill. At the heart of the debate is whether there is a shortage of Americans with the math and science skills needed for work at technology firms like Facebook Inc, Google Inc and Microsoft Corp.
