Atlanta's ‘BEST WORLD MUSIC ACT’ Salutes Men on Father's Day

ATLANTA -- You have seen them on NBC television network reality series “America’s Got Talent” and if you are a reality-show junkie, you remember them sharing  their high-energy dance experience with singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss and Attorney Phaedra Parks in connection with their travels to South Africa on BRAVO cable network top-rated reality series “Real Housewives of Atlanta”.

Now, the 19-year Atlanta-based ensemble GIWAYEN MATA, is going  to bring their ‘contagious’ high energy drum and dance to the Southwest Arts Center for Father's Day. Between educating audiences about African traditions and breaking barriers as an all-sistah ensemble in a male dominated percussion industry, its no wonder Creative Loafing Magazine named them "Best Local World Music Act" three times!

VCU leaves CAA, joins Atlantic-10

Richmond, VA (Sports Network) - The Atlantic 10 has further solidified its position as the premier non-BCS college basketball conference by adding Virginia Commonwealth to its ranks.

The move, which is effective for in the upcoming academic year, was announced at a press conference Tuesday by VCU president Michael Rao.

Four of its teams earned bids to the NCAA tourney in 2012, while VCU is a year removed from its unprecedented First Four-to-Final Four run in the NCAA Tournament.

Mother who abandoned children granted bond

ATLANTA -- A mother accused of abandoning her three young children in a Vine City apartment has been granted bond.

Fulton County Sheriff's spokesperson Tracy Flanagan said Lynn Warner was given $45,000 bond during a hearing Tuesday.

Warner is accused of leaving the children unattended in her Rhodes Street apartment Monday.

A security guard at the complex noticed an open door to one of the units. When he entered, he found Warner's children, according to Atlanta Police spokeswoman Kim Jones.

The children were taken to Hughes Spalding Hospital to be evaluated. Jones said they did not appear to be injured.

A crime scene photographer and DFACS were called to the apartment to determine how and why the kids were left alone, Jones said.

Warner faces three counts each of reckless abandonment and cruelty to children.
