Drivers full from turkey should be wary on the wet roads, especially with the heaviest congestion period estimated between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. "Be extra careful getting out on the roadways, you might encounter some slippery spots," Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Eboni Deon warned. With the wet and chilly weather, Atlantans should bundle up and keep an umbrella handy.

11+ hour, 47+ min ago (237+ words) A former NFL referee has admitted that a mistake was made in the Ohio State at Michigan game on Saturday. Ohio State topped Michigan, 27-9, at The Big House in Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes ended Michigan's four game winning streak in the rivalry. Ohio State finished the regular season at 12-0, heading into the Big Ten Championship Game. The Buckeyes will be taking on Indiana next weekend. But during Saturday's game at The Big House, the referees appeared to make a big mistake, failing to act on an ejection-worthy play. Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham made contact with a referee in the first half. He hit his helmet into the referee's face, while complaining about a no-call. However, he was not ejected. Instead, he drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Maryland transfer was allowed to remain in the game. But should that…...

But steps from the breweries and eateries inhabiting much of the space, serious science is taking place. In an industrial space at the complex's north end, engineers in blue lab coats huddle over circuit boards. Scientists test how certain films and other materials respond to pressure, heat and more. And in a machine shop off the main lab, a computer-controlled machine mills custom components from raw metal. The space is a hive of activity, one that exudes the spirit of experimentation embodied by its founder, the legendary inventor Lonnie Johnson. Johnson isn't a household name like Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. You'll be hard-pressed, however, to find a child of the…...
