Judge Hilton Fuller said he needed more time to con sider whether he will delay Brian Nichols’ Jan. 11 trial. But he appeared skeptical about why the defense is not prepared, more than 20 months after the March 11, 2005, shooting spree that started at the Fulton County ** Professional Products • Professional Advice” SJmrnnfMff HiH F~ MrV«rl*r Ot*c, m 2060 Watson Blvd. Warner Robins 478-922-1 22 I » » w.llicpcslcoii I rolsloir.com Robins Music Brokers *Check us out for the musician on your Gift List* Wnow^ iS •Genz*Benz •Squier Drums •Seymour Duncan Custom Orders Accepted 36hr Delivery on most items W m w W m w M J 4501 Russel Pkwy www"wwJb^i YOUR WEATHER TEAM! iMMiI MGT Today's Weather | Local 5-Day Forecast Wed 11/22 / 59/36 Showers.

Hill said the defense needs to review evidence recently turned over by prosecutors, including tapes of Nichols’ conversations while in jail since the shootings. That makes it impossible for the defense to be prepared for trial in less than two months, he said.

Georgia Aquarium bringing more business to Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) - Hotels in the city have seen a more steady flow of guests since the opening of the Georgia Aquarium. Aquarium officials expect to have seen 3.6 million visi tors by the time of its one year anniversary later this week. And the aquarium’s success has also helped down town businesses around it. “No one anticipated the level of success that the aquarium has brought to downtown,” said Lauren Jarrell, spokeswoman for the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, which is responsible for selling the city to conventioneers and tourists. “It brought more visitors downtown, filled our hotel rooms and gave inves tors a reason to believe that the climate is ripe to move their investment into the market.” Mike Sullivan, spokes-, man for the Omni Hotel at CNN, said the hotel has been surprised by the number of aquarium packages it has sold. “We thought we would see a lot of activity in the sum mertime when schools were out, but we sold close to 200 packages a month year round,” Sullivan said. "Have Cameras, Will Travel" Ok , TLLNtK imui-un Aerial I li< U arauliv I i<Ki lurmr • 4/VT/V-K H cr 4/S-414-T* I TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2006 ♦ As of October, more than 2,000 individuals and families have spent $240 to $290 for an Omni deal that includes tickets to the aquarium, an overnight stay at the nearby hotel, break fast and aquarium-related goodies. The aquarium’s success also is helping fast-track $2.5 billion in new invest ment in downtown Atlanta, which includes hotels, resi dential units and retail, said A.J. Robinson, presi dent of the downtown busi ness group Central Atlanta Progress. At a meeting last week, Robinson gave the building industry a summa ry of downtown Atlanta and where it’s going. Atlanta, which has always had strong convention demand, now has a tourism destination to match. “Our whole community is awash in a new attitude and optimism,” Robinson said, giving the credit to the aquarium.
