A D.C. Superior Court judge has overturned the conviction of a District man who wrongly served 28 years in prison for the killing of a taxi driver. Santae A.

Wynn Westmoreland is Georgia born and bred, and she knows from Vidalia onions. And yes, she does say “y'all” a lot. Hey y’all, it’s Vidalia onion time. And that is big time. What other onion has its own museum , state and federal law of protection , festival , YouTube channel , website , Facebook page and Twitter account ? The Vidalia actually started as a fluke as farmers in the Depression tried different crops. In a small section of Georgia with the right soil contents, an onion grew that wasn’t hot but very sweet. Folks flipped over them and soon word of those sweet onions from Georgia got out. Another factor in the rise in popularity of the Vidalia was “The Pig.” The Piggly Wiggly grocery chain was headquartered in, where else, but Vidalia, Georgia. So began the onions' ascent to regional, national and eventual international fame. In the mid-1980s, farmers united to seek both state and federal protection of the growing region, meaning the growing area was defined to 20 middle Georgia counties. Only onions grown there can be legally called Vidalias. If your Vidalia doesn’t say it’s from Vidalia, you’ve got yourself an imposter. And an imposter Vidalia is enough to give this Georgia girl the vapors. So take a little time and treat yourself to “America’s favorite sweet onion” – the Vidalia! Take Our Poll

Washington Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo is so old school, he would have been just fine studying in the one-room type. You almost expect Rizzo to be photographed only in black and white. He’s a baseball lifer who believes in playing hard and keeping your mouth shut about what happens on the field. So the surprising admission of Philadelphia Phillies starter Cole Hamels , who revealed he drilled Bryce Harper on purpose in Sunday’s game, was like issuing a bench-clearing challenge to Rizzo’s sensibilities. He considered Hamels’s “I-was-trying-to-hit-him” candor a knockdown pitch to baseball etiquette. For Rizzo, the only appropriate response was to, in effect, charge the mound. Read full article > >
