just now (366+ words) ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) " Restaurant owners are seeing an uptick in customers for Thanksgiving as many are choosing to ditch the hard work that comes with Thanksgiving dinner and choosing to eat out instead. "Normally, I would be at my house cooking the dinner, but I'm happy to be here. Happy not to have something about the dishes and different things and enjoying the food and join the people," said Phylis Clark. People like Clark are choosing to spend the holiday with loved ones eating a meal prepared by someone else. This time, it's at Home grown on Memorial Drive. Owner Kevin Clark, who for the first time in 15 years, opened up the restaurant on Thanksgiving. "Not everybody's got a family to go to or, you know, you don't want to cook," Clark said. "That's why it's easy come…...

just now (838+ words) As much as the media that covers Penn State likes Terry Smith (and, why not, many of them have been covering him in some form for more than three decades), the contingent has also been fair and honest about his chances to become the program's head coach. They've chronicled the hype and have generally not gotten caught up in it " including last week's high-water mark for Smith's coaching candidacy, as he secured his first home victory in the role. Obvious things like the Hire Terry Smith effort championed by a fan on Instagram, which included players with signs on the field after the game, and the persistent cheers for Smith during last week's game at Beaver Stadium are newsworthy and notable. They're emotional, honest and even feel-good moments in a season that had too few of those when it really…...

just now (297+ words) CeeDee Lamb scored the first Dallas touchdown and finished with 112 yards on seven catches four days after drops plagued the star receiver in a victory over defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. The Cowboys (6-5-1) have won three straight, knocking off both of last season's Super Bowl teams in the past five days, and they dropped the defending AFC champion Chiefs (6-6) back to .500 in a matchup of playoff-chasing teams. Mahomes had four touchdown passes in his first professional game at the home of the Cowboys, where he played three times for Texas Tech not far from his East Texas roots. Travis Kelce caught Mahomes' first fourth down TD toss on a 2-yarder, and Rashee Rice's second scoring catch came on fourth-and-3 early in the fourth quarter. Kansas City was down 10 when Mahomes was almost tripped in the backfield by Quinnen Williams but…...

just now (258+ words) PITTSBURGH " Bryan Rust and Kevin Hayes scored in the third period and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-2 on Wednesday night to snap a two-game losing streak. Hayes tapped in Erik Karlsson's pass from the top of the crease with 7:26 remaining to give Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead. Jack Quinn trimmed the deficit for Buffalo with 4:18 left, and Connor Dewar had an empty-net goal for Pittsburgh in the final minute. Mathew Dumba also scored for Pittsburgh. The Penguins have won just three of last 10 games since an 8-2-2 start. Karlsson had an assist to tie Brad Park for the 12th-most assists by a defenseman in NHL history with 683. Tristan Jarry stopped 29 shots for Pittsburgh. Jarry returned after missing the last seven games with a lower-body injury. Jason Zucker also scored for Buffalo. Tage Thompson's six-game goal scoring streak ended for Buffalo, which…...

just now (234+ words) Here are some Penn State items to chew on while you are eating Thanksgiving leftovers through the weekend: " The majority of the fan base seems to have Smith as their guy now, and it would be hard for anyone to tell them differently. There are still some viable candidates out there, notably Eli Drinkwitz from Missouri. Drinkwitz has been outstanding with the Tigers. They may have had a shot at the College Football Playoffs had Beau Pribula not been injured midway through the season. " You could say that the program may need a Penn Stater right now. I'm talking about Smith, of course, and not Bobby Engram, who reportedly will be interviewed by Kraft. Engram has carved out a nice coaching career in the NFL and is currently on the Washington Commanders staff. " It's fair to wonder if the Pinstripe…...

just now (378+ words) The council of governments that operates recycling programs for three central Blair County municipalities voted Tuesday to ask local lawmakers to introduce legislation to make curbside recycling mandatory statewide. Curbside recycling " for at least three of eight list materials, plus leaves " is currently required for municipalities with populations greater than 10,000 or those between 5,000 and 10,000 and denser than 300 people per square mile, based on state Act 101, according to online sources. The vote to urge the lawmakers to push for universal mandatory curbside recycling occurred upon the suggestion of Logan Township Supervisors Chairman Jim Patterson, a member of the Altoona-Hollidaysburg-Logan Intermunicipal Relations Committee. Curbside recycling should be mandatory throughout Pennsylvania " or not required of any municipality, Patterson said. After the vote was taken, further discussion confirmed that the committee's unanimous action calls for urging lawmakers to push for making the requirement universal…...

1+ min ago (371+ words) In late November 2025, reports confirmed that President Donald Trump would propose a two-year extension to the Affordable Care Act's premium subsidies, alongside new income eligibility levels and minimum premium payment requirements. This development is particularly significant for Centene, which relies on the ACA marketplace for commercial growth and has credited subsidy extensions with helping drive its expansion and recent financial guidance. We'll explore how the proposed extension of ACA subsidies could influence Centene's outlook, particularly given its reliance on government-sponsored health plans. Centene recently launched new Ambetter health insurance offerings in Arizona, Mississippi, and Georgia, expanding its footprint just as the ACA subsidy extension discussion intensifies. These product expansions reinforce Centene's positioning for commercial growth, which could benefit from continued or expanded government support for individual health insurance. Read the full narrative on Centene (it's free!) Centene's outlook anticipates $195.6 billion…...
