| Real estate market threatening Georgia banks | | 2008-07-04 14:03:00 | | Nearly $1 out of every $5 on Georgia banks' loan books bankrolled homebuilders and real estate developers — by far the highest proportion in the state in at least 30 years, according to federal regulators' data.Even during the savings-and-loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, when thousands of banks and thrifts across the nation failed, Georgia banks were far less exposed to these higher-risk loans. Today, the banks have double the concentration of those loans, according to federal data on banks.Such loans are considered higher-risk than mortgages or conventional business loans because of the boom-and-bust nature of the real estate development business and the uncertain value of assets such as raw land and unfinished projects.

| Web Grades: Georgia Senate | | 2008-07-02 15:58:47 | | Today, we examined campaign websites from the Georgia Senate race pitting Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss against five potential Democratic challengers--Dale Cardwell, Vernon Jones, Rand Knight, Josh Lanier, and Jim Martin. Remember that with these web grades we are not reviewing the candidates or their political positions, but rather their web outreach. Don't forget to check out our previous web grades as well.Saxby Chambliss (saxby.org)Chambliss went with the obvious red, white, and blue color palette, while the layout of his site is rather unusual. The main page is loaded with videos that touch on various issues or cover recent campaign events. The biography page is fairly detailed and also includes a section about his wife, Julianne. In the news section, users can search through an archive of campaign releases that date back more than a year or check out media coverage. There is no specific issue section, rather the candidate has outlined his views in various video posts. | | By: Political Realm | | |

| Canes Gear Up For Georgia | | 2008-06-14 17:07:00 | | FSU just allowed 11 runs in the 9th as I write this, moments after coming back from 3 down in the 8th. Tough luck for Seminole fans, whose team now faces elimination against either Miami or Georgia in a couple of days, barring a miraculous comeback.Even then, I wouldn't be too worried about the Seminoles, who survived a handful of elimination games in the process leading up the College World Series. I wouldn't be too surprised to see them bounce back. Hopefully they won't and Miami will have an easier time of it on the road to the title game.What's more important is how the Canes do against a formidable Georgia team today. The Bulldogs have 2 1st round picks on their squad in SS Gordon Beckham and reliever Josh Fields (considered to be a huge stretch in the 1st, like Carlos Gutierrez). They are to be taken seriously in my opinion. I didn't say the same about the Arizona Wildcats and look how much of a challenge that proved to be.If Hernandez is on his game, the Canes should be fine. Ge | | By: State of Miami | | |

| Kia looking to assemble vehicles in Georgia | | 2008-05-28 13:08:00 | | Since Hyundai/Kia has dropped the idea of a pickup truck, Kia's new assembly plant in West Point, Georgia will instead turn out small cars. The first vehicle that will roll off the assembly lines in 2009 is Kia's Sorento, with body on frame construction well suited to a pickup. What doesn't seem primed for a pickup, however, is a softening market, so Kia has decided to redouble its efforts on small cars.No details about the upcoming car were discussed, only that we should expect a Spectra-sized C-segment vehicle that may be shared with Hyundai. Hyundai CEO Kim Dong-Jin confessed to the organization losing its way slightly by slacking off on small, high volume cars and going after larger vehicles to bolster the brand images and offerings. A return to its roots will please dealers, and the Genesis Coupe will kick off a turbocharging frenzy at Kia, which will focus on small displacement forced induction engines.[Source: Automotive News - Sub.

Arguments have been put forth in favor of cutting income taxes, the personal property tax on cars, and even cutting income taxes for senior citizens only. Each side argues that its tax cut would be best for Georgia's economy going forward. Also on the table is a plan to enact a ceiling on spending growth in the Peach State.

| Reality Check on Proposed Georgia Tax Cuts | | 2008-03-19 00:00:00 | | News stories from across the state of Georgia on Wednesday highlighted the current debate in the state on tax policy: should the state cut the car tax, cut income taxes, or cut neither?The first question that needs to be asked is whether or not a specific tax on cars is justified in the first place, either for externality reasons or some benefit principle justification? Otherwise, it is just an arbitrary tax on a selected product, making it poor tax policy. Therefore, to the extent that the car tax should be raised or lowered depends on the answer to the question "is the current car tax too high or too low for what its purposes are?" If the current car tax is too high, then it should be cut, financed by either higher taxes on a broad based tax or lower spending (depending upon whether government is at its optimal size or not).And that brings us to the second question: should income taxes be cut?

| Georgia Lt. Gov. Proposes Tax Cut Package | | 2008-03-19 00:00:00 | | Details here:Under the proposal, the state would reduce the income tax rates by 10 percent over five years beginning July 1, 2008. Under that plan, the maximum 6 percent tax rate would drop the first year to 5.88 percent and so on until it reach 5.4 percent.[...]Instead of freezing residential [property tax] assessments at 2008 rates plus an annual increase of up to 2 percent and commercial at 2008 plus up to 3 percent, the Senate proposal would freeze both at the government inflation rate - a higher figure. New to the package under the Senate proposal - a "TABOR"-like proposal that would rein-in state government spending and direct money in excess of a formula (based on the inflation rate and population growth rate) to education, the rainy day fund and then to taxpayer refunds.More on Georgia here. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

Georgia shot 51% from the field and 46 on 6 of 13 from 3 point land. Look.. it does not really matter what teams seeds are or who is more tired, Georgia simply has enough momentum to stop global warming right now. After all this tournament has seen why wouldn't the Bulldogs win. But seriously, I think this game comes down to tempo. Arkansas likes to get up and down while Georgia would rather grind it out in the half court. The Razborbacks must get the loose balls that Georgia has been getting all tournament.

In the first meeting way back in January, Miss State has 9 blocks and an 18-2 in the 2nd half to lead to victory. UGA does not have great depth usually going just 8 deep. I look for Georgia to come out strong in the first four minutes, but after that first TV timeout their legs could them. Miss State should be able to wear down Georgia in the 2nd half and cruise into the finals.Prediction: Mississippi StateA little sidebar from the end of the Kentucky Georgia game.

| Georgia Tech Boston College Preview | | 2008-03-07 14:10:38 | | Georgia Tech @ Boston College SatTwo teams who have largely disappointed this season finish the regular season in what will be a fight for better seeding in the ACC Tournament. Georgia Tech has done a better job as of late with turnovers, but has uncoverd a new achilles heel - offensive rebounds. The Yellow Jackets will likely stick defensive stopper D'Andre Bell on BC's Tyrese Rice who exploded last week against North Carolina. I have to wonder about Georgia Tech's legs playing their 4 game in 7 days. BC started off farely hot and has been ice cold since January. I think the Eagles are due for a win at home.Prediction: Boston CollegeGeorgia Tech Boston College line spreadBC will be favored being at home around -180.

The Rebels were gangbusters in non-conference play, including a win over Clemson, but need a SEC Tournament push to make the NCAA's. Ole Miss got a big win at home this week against Arkansas. Georgia has been very good beating teams they should at home this year. I think this one goes down to the wire. I like Georgia's experience in their backcourt over Ole Miss.Prediction: GeorgiaGeorgia Ole Miss line spreadThis could be a game where the play all night and nobody gets up by more then 5 or 6 points.

Georgia Tech must improve on its poor shooting effort on Monday against Virginia if they want to win this game. I look for Clemson to press a turnover prone Georgia Tech team. Georgia Tech needs to take advantage of vulnerable Clemson perimeter defense by knocking down outside shots early. I like Clemson's offensive balance and confidence right now coming off their 20 point come from behind win at Maryland on Sunday.Prediction: ClemsonGeorgia Tech Clemson Line/SpreadThis will be a very close line because of Georgia Tech being at home, but I put Clemson as the favorite.

The best both teams are playing for at this point is a NIT berth. Georgia Tech beat Virginia in Charlottesville in OT in their other meeting this season. Jacket PG Matt Causey should be in uniform tonight after suffering a mild concussion against Duke last Wednesday. It is a pretty simple formula for Georgia Tech to win. If they can keep their turnovers under 16 and the FT margin less than 10, then they have an excellent chance to win. Look for D'Andre Bell to stick Virginia's Sean Singletary on defense most of the night. I like Georgia Tech in this as they look to start a mini winnning streak.Prediction: Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Virginia LineThis is a tough one to figure out because I am not sure how much advantage to give GT at home considering they are below .500 on the year.

Georgia Tech does not appear to match up well with Wake's penetration and kick offense, but the Wake defense was the one who had trouble matching up with penetration last time. Tech made 9 more FT than Wake shot last time, had 4 less turnovers, and shot 54% from the field. PG Matt Causey is a game time decision for Georgia Tech after taking a hard fall against Duke on Wednesday. If he not 100% then it makes Paul Hewitt's job even more difficult in this one. Somehow, some way I think Tech pull this one out at home - they are due there.Prediction: Georgia Tech Georgia Tech Wake Forest lineWith the uncertainty of Causey the line is probably very timid on this one, but some fans will also remember Wake beating Duke not too long ago.

| Georgia Tech @ Duke | | 2008-02-26 20:50:03 | | yahoo/reutersGeorgia Tech @ DukeYou are in a 4 game slump so things are about to go your way right? Well not if you playing Duke in Cameron and not after they have lost 2 of their last 3 (and are undefeated at home). Duke is known for perimeter shooting and getting to the FT line. What did Georgia Tech do in their last game? They gave Va Tech 49 FT attempts (and they made 36). I see this one getting ugly unless Georgia Tech can find a way to get the Dukies in foul trouble and expose their lack of depth - nice chance at Cameron. This may be rock bottom for Tech.Prediction: DukeDuke Georgia Tech lineThere will probably not be a lie on this game, but if there was then I would put it around -1200.Season: 57-15 (79%)ACC: 28-10 (74%) | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| Florida @ Georgia | | 2008-02-26 20:31:21 | | yahoo/apFlorida @ GeorgiaWhenever Florida plays in Athens I think of the incidents over the years involving Gator players; the basketball throwing incident and the Matt Walsh rushing the court which led to fining of SEC teams for such behavior. Georgia has not beaten Florida since 2004 and lost earlier this year by 10 despite a phenomenal performance by Sundiata Gaines. Florida is just 2-5 away from home this year while Georgia is 11-3 at home - those 3 losses are to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt who are arguably better than the Gators. Florida barely beat South Carolina at home while Georgia has lost to the 3 best teams in the SEC by a combined 17 points in their last 3 games. I think having Billy Humphrey this time around will make the difference for Georgia.Prediction: GeorgiaFlorida Georgia lineFlorida will be a slight favorite in this game due to their overall record dominating Georgia's. I put Florida at around -170 for this game.Season: 57-15 (79%)SEC: 29-5 (85%) | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| Georgia Tech Virginia Tech Weather Watch 2008 | | 2008-02-22 22:10:33 | | si.comGeorgia Tech @ Virginia TechI would think Paul Hewitt has a right to be mad. In his team's last game they turned the ball over a season high 22 times and lost by 1. Then on Thursday, a home game with Virginia was canceled due to a leaky roof. Nevermind that Georgia Tech is paying their former football coach $1M per year for nothing. The Hokies have a distinct honor in the ACC; they are the only team to lose to Tech in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets have been very good on the road though. Virginia Tech needs good wins like they had against Maryland and more importantly must hold serve at home. For Georgia Tech to win they need to take care of the ball (15 or less turnovers) and play good perimeter defense where they have lacked most of the season. Logic would say Virginia Tech is the better team and they are at home, but I like Georgia Tech to pull this one off on the road.Prediction: Georgia TechVirginia Tech Georgia Tech lineThe Hokies will be the favorite in this game and w | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| Can Georgia Tech Sweep Virginia? | | 2008-02-20 20:57:10 | | AP/YahooVirginia @ Georgia TechYes, I would be shocked too if I was Paul Hewitt and I had the chance to sweep an ACC team this season. It has been and up and down (and up and down) season for Tech. The Yellow Jackets have lost their last 3 games including a 1 point loss to Miami last Sunday giving the Hurricanes a sweep of their own for the season. For Georgia Tech to pass on this favor to Virginia they have to take better care of the ball on offense. The Jackets had a season high 22 turnovers last Sunday to Miami. The last time UVA and GT met, Georgia Tech forced overtime late and then dominated the extra period. Senior Matt Causey led the way and will have to play a big role in this game as well. Another mystifying aspect to Tech's season is their poor home record - they have just 1 ACC home win and are below .500 on the season (5-6). I think Georgia Tech plays better defense and gets into a rhythm from the outside to take this one in Atlanta.Prediction: Georgia TechGeorgia T | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| Georgia Tech Strutts Their Stuff | | 2008-02-16 16:43:12 | | Miami @ Georgia TechGeorgia Tech faces a must win home game on Sunday if it wants to have any shot at the NCAAT. The Yellow Jackets were on a bit of hot streak on the road until losing their last two away from Atlanta. The Jackets are just 5-5 at home this year while Miami sports a respectable .500 road record. The Hurricanes have had 7 days since their win in Blacksburg last Saturday. In their first matchup this year, Tech jumped out to an early lead but turnovers turned the tide to Miami in the 2nd half for the win. For Tech to win they have to control their turnovers and not let Miami get such a huge advantage at the FT line like they did against Va Tech and the last time these two teams met. I think Georgia Tech gets a boost from a slumping Matt Causey and pulls this one out at the end by 3-8 points.Prediction: Georgia TechHow do I like the line on this game? I use a simple theory to help me out. If Miami and Georgia Tech played 10 times, how many would each win? I say Ga | | By: ACC SEC Blog | | |

| Tennessee Tries to Sweep Georgia | | 2008-02-15 20:11:22 | | google.comTennessee @ GeorgiaTennessee will try to make a clean sweep Georgia in football and basketball on Saturday. The Vols pounded the Bulldogs a few weeks back in Knoxville with their full court press and should be able to do the same on Saturday. For Georgia to pull off the upset, they will need Sundiata Gaines to have the game of his life. His backcourt running mate Billy Humphrey is still suspended and the Dawgs will need an great effort from the frontcourt to help make up the scoring. I think Tennessee has too much depth and size for Georgia to pull this one off.Prediction: Tennessee Florida @ Vanderbilt Vanderbilt will be looking to remain undefeated at home this year having already won their first 15 home games of the year. Florida has struggled away from Gainesville this year. The Commodores have won their last 4 including a 41 point drubbing of Kentucky in Nashville on Tuesday.

| Will Georgia Tech Make It 4 In A Row? | | 2008-02-02 13:18:00 | | pic from gooley.comMaryland @ Georgia TechAll of a sudden Georgia Tech is back from the bottom of the ACC after beating Virginia Tech and then going on the road for two straight; and before that they lost to North Carolina by 1. The key to the Yellow Jackets turnaround has been the play of G Matt Causey who splits time with freshman Moe Miller at PG for Paul Hewitt. Georgia Tech is also turning the ball over much less than in their previous games. Maryland does not have stars, but does have a good group of 5 who all had double figures in points in a win over Virginia this week. I think this game comes down to the turnover battle. Neither team is very good at holding on to the ball, but Georgia Tech has done a much better job of it recently. I like the Yellow Jackets in a game down to the wire at home.Prediction: Georgia TechBoston College @ ClemsonThe Tigers sure would like to get even with the Eagles who have not knocked the football team out of the ACCCG the last 3 seasons.

| Georgia Travels to South Carolina | | 2008-01-29 21:31:33 | | Georgia @ South CarolinaGeorgia is just 1-4 on the road, but South Carolina is a pathetic 6-5 at home. The Gamecocks are not performing as of late going just 2-6 ATS in their last 8. When South Carolina is winning it is with their backcourt of Devan Downey and Zam Frederick. Dave Odom's club is shooting above 40% from 3 point land. Georgia is having a tough time scoring on the road averaging 10 points less per game. They are led by their backcourt as well of Sundiata Gaines and Billy Humphrey. Whomever can get more out of their frontcourt will win this close game.Prediction: South CarolinaVanderbilt @ Ole MissOle Miss' fairy tale season has taken a detour in recent weeks. The Rebels return to the friendly confines of Tad Smith Coliseum where they are undefeated this year. Andy Kennedy's team is shooting a red hot 51% at home and close to 90 points per game in Oxford.
