"Georgia Railroad Eminent Domain Case Sparks Property Law Debate"

A hearing is underway in an eminent domain case in rural Georgia that could have far-reaching implications for property law. The case involves a railroad's attempt to condemn property to build a rail line serving a rock quarry and potentially other industries. Opponents argue that the railroad's plans would only benefit the quarry and not serve the public interest. The outcome of the case could impact the power of eminent domain and private entities' ability to condemn private land for various projects, including pipelines and electric transmission lines.

"MW3's Death Pit and Glitches: Modern Warfare III Launch Woes"

Sledgehammer Games is expected to address the spawn issue in an early patch. Additionally, players are advised to start downloading the game early due to its large install size of over 200GB and the unintuitive Call of Duty HQ launcher.
