                      <![CDATA[ <p>Life changes happen that fast, and the passion to help people drives Abby Rae Lacombe to run Rent Help Pittsburgh as the nonprofit's Executive Director.&nbsp;</p><p>"When you have a medical emergency, when someone in your family goes to the ER, at that point in your life changes," she said. "We are meeting people quite a few months in the aftermath. When they've already lost work. They've been struggling to understand: How am I going to pay these bills and my rent? How am I going to take care of my loved one who can't return to work or who can't go to school right now?"</p><p>At that low point when people face eviction, the nonprofit steps in.&nbsp;</p><p>"We're often times one of the first people to say you're a really good person and you have been working really hard, and this isn't your fault. Let's talk through what we can do," Lacombe said.&nbsp;</p><p>The conversations help Pittsburghers navigate housing resources. Through this work, Lacombe started eviction prevention programming in eviction courts.</p><p>"It's pretty special honestly," said Lacombe.&nbsp;</p><p>It brings together legal aid providers, landlord-tenant mediation, rental assistance, and Allegheny County DHS.&nbsp;</p><p>"It's almost like you could see the person come back into themselves, or they're like, 'yeah, I'm smart. I know how to problem solve. I can get you all of that documentation; I just needed somebody to help me over the bridge,'" she explained.&nbsp;</p><p>Now that bridge has grown into the One Roof Housing Resource Fair, giving people the chance to meet dozens of resources in one place, at one time. &nbsp;Since starting during the pandemic in 2020, Rent Help PGH has kept more than 12,000 households in their home. </p><p>It's proof that believing in people is key to remembering that your circumstances do not define who you are.&nbsp;</p><p>"You are a strong person," Lacombe said. "Up to this point, we're going to find what it takes to re-stabilize you, and you're going to be a strong person after this point."</p><p>This week, Lacombe also hosted the first One Roof Providers Summit. All 67 service providers came together with other providers to talk <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/essentials/n95-like-masks-for-kids/">about it here</a>.</p>

Their other such starts ended in trips to the Stanley Cup Final &mdash; in 2018 under coach Gerard Gallant and in 2023 under Bruce Cassidy.</p><p>The loss continued a rough four-game trip for the Penguins, who are 0-3 and have been outscored 16-7.</p><p>The scoring was spread around for the Golden Knights. Rookie forward Trevor Connelly had a goal and an assist, and defensemen Rasmus Andersson, Noah Hanifin and Shea Theodore also found the back of the net. So did Brett Howden, who was awarded an empty-net goal after he was pulled down. Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel, playing in his 700th game, each totaled two assists.</p><p>Adin Hill improved to 4-0 by stopping 22 shots. He has allowed 2.25 goals per game and carries a .906 save percentage.</p><p>Sidney Crosby scored for the Penguins, giving him 657 for his career to break a tie with Brendan Shanahan for 14th in NHL history. Ville Koivunen had the other goal for the Penguins, and Tommy Novak produced assists on both.</p><p>Sergei Murashov made 13 saves on 18 shots.</p><p>The Golden Knights wasted little time taking control. Andersson and Hanifin scored in the first 4:02, with Eichel providing the primary assists with cross-ice passes. Stone made it 3-0 with 2:14 left.</p><p>Goals by Connelly and Theodore to sandwich Crosby's put Vegas up 5-1 entering the second intermission.</p><p>Penguins: Visit Utah on Monday night.</p><p>Golden Knights: Host Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.</p><p>___</p><p>See AP's full NHL coverage here               </p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Pennsylvania treasurer and Republican gubernatorial candidate Stacy Garrity stood with skill game operators at a rally in Green Tree Borough on Saturday.</p><p>The skill game operators &mdash; many of whom own bars, gas stations and convenience stores &mdash;  told KDKA-TV they've suffered from how the machines are now banned in the state, the result of a court ruling that state legislators failed to follow with legislation that would have allowed them to stick around.&nbsp;</p><p>"I have employees crying to me, and it makes me emotional," said Kish Patel, the owner of 20 gas stations and convenience stores in western Pennsylvania. "I love these people. These people are my family."</p><p>He said that as a result of the skill games ban, employees will have to be laid off. He said the machines generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for his businesses.</p><p>Jay Barto, the owner of two local bars, took it a step further, saying depending on how the next few weeks go, he could have to close up entirely and retire, leaving his employees without jobs.&nbsp;</p><p>"I hate the idea that we're being put into this position. I don't understand why," Barto said.&nbsp;</p><p>Garrity told the crowd that Gov. Josh Shapiro doesn't care about them.&nbsp;</p><p>"He sold you out," she said. "He had years to get this fixed."</p><p>During his Nexstar TV debate against Garrity, which took place before the ban went into effect, Shapiro said he's been consistent on the issue for years.&nbsp;</p><p>"I've urged lawmakers to pass my legislation, which would allow roughly 45,000 of these machines to be regulated," Shapiro said during the debate.&nbsp;</p><p>Shapiro would like to see the tax rate set at 52%, consistent, he said, with other gaming, so it would not advantage one type of gaming over another. Garrity said that's too high.</p><p>"I'm backing a flat rate: 50,000 machines, $500 per month. That brings in $300 million in revenue to the commonwealth," Garrity told KDKA-TV on Saturday.</p><p>It's the same plan backed by some state Senate Republicans.</p><p>"The House of Representatives has supported my plan. The Senate of Pennsylvania, led by Republicans, has refused to bring it up," Shapiro said during the debate. "Lawmakers need to come back to Harrisburg. They need to stop campaigning and start focusing on their work, and they need to get this bill to my desk."</p><p>It highlights the frequent gridlock Harrisburg has seen. Garrity told KDKA-TV that bridging the state's political divide requires leadership.&nbsp;</p><p>"A real leader doesn't sit back and say, 'I'm waiting for a bill to come to my desk' when they know the deadline is in a week and that's what Josh Shapiro said at the debate," Garrity said. "A real leader rolls up their sleeves, they solve issues, and they get the stakeholders around the table."</p><p>Garrity added Shapiro uses the divided legislature as an excuse for inaction and explained how she'd bring both sides together.&nbsp;</p><p>"I'd do it exactly like I do it now. At Treasury, half my staff are Ds, half my staff are Rs. And you know what, we've broken every single record at Treasury," she said.&nbsp;</p><p>KDKA-TV reached out to the Shapiro campaign on Saturday but did not hear back.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A man was found guilty of shooting and killing his neighbor's 11-year-old Labrador Retriever in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, authorities said.&nbsp;</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-absolute="true" href="https://crimewatch.net/us/pa/clinton/da/133000/post/following-second-trial-dauphin-county-man-found-guilty-aggravated-animal-cruelty">Clinton County District Attorney's Office</a>&nbsp;said in a news release that a jury found Robert J. Wallish III guilty on one count of aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of tampering with evidence. The jury deliberated for about one hour on the charges against Wallish, who faces a maximum penalty of up to nine years in prison.&nbsp;</p><p>The 55-year-old man from Dauphin County fatally shot the dog, named Hemi, while at his hunting cabin in Westport, Noyes Township, in December 2024, the district attorney's office said. He then allegedly drove the dog's remains 150 miles to Dauphin County, where he allegedly dumped the body in a farm field near his home. The dog had a gunshot wound to its neck.&nbsp;</p><p>The investigation started, according to the district attorney's office, after Hemi's family reported him missing. A search for the dog led investigators to Wallish's property, where they found blood and dog hair, which matched Hemi's, according to the district attorney's office. The dog was also microchipped, allowing investigators to find his remains.&nbsp;</p><p>While on the stand, Wallish said he shot the dog in self-defense and panicked, leading him to take the dog to the field, according to the district attorney's office.</p><p>Wallish's first trial in March ended in a mistrial after the courthouse's emotional support dog, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=716726873805815&amp;id=100064055264645&amp;ref=embed_post">a black lab</a>, wandered into the jury room during a lunch break in the first trial. &nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>One bicyclist was killed and another was injured after getting trapped under a rock along the Great Allegheny Passage in Ohiopyle State Park in Fayette County, authorities said.&nbsp;</p><p>The two people got stuck under the rock after a rockslide at mile marker 87.6 of the path around noon, Ohiopyle State Park said in a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/OhiopyleSP/posts/pfbid034BmDnMStajCZLPrUQESZcTL9s7BZewdTUpcjLmzYAiBamNgrDzhmGvW6RzTuJMqol">Facebook</a>&nbsp;post. Pennsylvania State Police said one biker was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other was flown by helicopter to a hospital for treatment.&nbsp;</p><p>"The trail is closed in the immediate area and the public is asked to avoid," the state park said.&nbsp;</p><p>The Office of the Fayette County Coroner said in a news release   that the biker who died was a 76-year-old woman from Florida. The coroner said her identification was being withheld pending notification of relatives. The identity of the second biker was not released, and the extent of their injuries was not immediately known.</p><p>Connellsville Mayor Greg Lincoln called what happened a "terrible accident." In a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-absolute="true" href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0354Dcdz8mVVFXqoeJkVCpSyocmyqmNnkfrqcwxd86U3k1D9SRbFfAfWX6kfM5oYkSl&amp;id=100058146517083">Facebook </a>post, he said that a "couple, enjoying a beautiful ride on the trail, were caught in a landslide."</p><p>"The couple and their family are in the thoughts and prayers of my family and everyone in Connellsville," Lincoln added. "I would like to thank the first responders and everyone who responded to this accident to help."</p><p>The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is investigating. The coroner said more information will be released "once it's available."</p><p>Earlier this summer, a 1.2-mile section of the Great Allegheny Passage was <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/great-allegheny-passage-temporarily-closure/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">temporarily closed</a> for work to address ongoing landslide concerns under the area of Kennywood Park in West Mifflin.  </p><p>The 150-mile path between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, Maryland, attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year and has become a major economic boom for Allegheny, Westmoreland and Fayette counties.</p>

It was not immediately clear how the animals escaped. In an effort to get the pelicans back to their habitat, the zoo set up a hotline at 412-365-2528 and received numerous calls from the public.&nbsp;</p><p>"Public support was vital to the recovery effort," the spokesperson said. "Using boats provided by Pittsburgh River Rescue and Three Rivers Waterkeeper, as well as support from the Army Corps of Engineers, the National Aviary, and over a dozen calls from members of the public, two Zoo teams constantly monitored both birds until they could be safely approached and recovered."</p><p>In July 2025, the zoo welcomed three scoop-beaked brown pelicans, along with South American Humboldt penguins, and the two shared the same habitats. The pelicans, female Felicity and males Joey and Pierre, came from the Seacoast Seabird Sanctuary in Florida.</p><p>According to the zoo, the pelicans were rescued before finding a home in Pittsburgh. The animals have permanent wing injuries and cannot hunt, according to the zoo.&nbsp;</p>

It marked the fourth consecutive game for West Virginia in which the teams combined for 1,000 yards.</p><p>West Virginia (4-3, 1-3 Big 12) never led until Cassidy's winner and broke a three-game losing streak. Cincinnati (4-2, 1-2) has lost two straight, sandwiched around a bye week.</p><p>Hawkins threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more scores for West Virginia. He completed 25 of 33 passes for a career-high 464 yards after failing to complete half of his passes in the three previous games.</p><p>After Cole Tabb put Cincinnati ahead 42-35 with a 6-yard TD run with 5:35 left, West Virginia responded in five plays with Hawkins hitting running back Cam Cook with a 40-yard scoring toss.</p><p>Cincinnati then was forced to punt, pinning West Virginia at its 1 with 2:05 left. On third down, Hawkins found Prince Strachan with a 41-yard pass, then hit Strachan with a 40-yard toss two plays later to put the Mountaineers inside the Cincinnati 20 to set up Cassidy's winning kick.</p><p>JC French IV threw a season-high three touchdown passes and ran for another score for Cincinnati. He completed 22 of 30 passes for 389 yards. Tabb ran for two TDs and caught a pass for another score for Cincinnati.</p><p>Cincinnati: The Bearcats outgained West Virginia 622-598 but fell apart down the stretch.</p><p>West Virginia: The offense continues to shine with the one-two punch of Hawkins and Cook. But the defense needs some serious help if the Mountaineers are hoping to become bowl-eligible.</p><p>Cincinnati hosts No. 10 Texas Tech next Saturday.</p><p>West Virginia plays at TCU next Saturday.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Mason McKenzie threw for two touchdowns and Boston College recovered from a miserable opening two minutes of the game, beating Pitt 27-21 on Saturday.</p><p>McKenzie went 17 for 28 with 295 yards and two interceptions for the Eagles (3-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). </p><p>"I think these guys did a really good job of being resilient. It didn't start very well at all," said BC coach Bill O'Brien, who called an early timeout late in the opening quarter to fire up his defense. </p><p>Making his first career start after QB Mason Heintschel was lost for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee during a victory at Virginia Tech two weeks ago, true freshman Corey Dailey completed 11 of 25 passes for 193 yards with two interceptions and a TD for Pitt (5-2, 2-2). </p><p>"It was pretty much what I thought it would be," Dailey said of his first start. "It's faster. People are flying around, trying to confuse you. That's what college football is." </p><p>McKenzie hit Landon Wright with a 69-yard scoring pass on BC's first drive of the second half, moving the Eagles ahead 21-12.</p><p>Two field goals by Antonio Chadha &mdash; 29 and 42 yards &mdash; narrowed it to 21-18 before Evan Dickens had a 1-yard TD run a play after McKenzie hit Wright with a 53-yard pass.</p><p>Raion Strader had his second pick of the game, giving the Panthers the ball at the BC 8 with just over 2 minutes left, but Charlie Comella had a pick to seal it.</p><p>Trailing 12-0 after its awful start, BC scored the next 14 points, jumping in front on McKenzie's 11-yard score to Javarius Green.</p><p>"On the sideline I kept telling everybody: 'We're good. We're good.' It's football," BC safety Carter Davis said. "They jumped out on us. They had the blocked punt; everything that could have gone wrong for us went wrong at that time."</p><p>Eagles linebacker Bodie Kahoun played his first game after being taken off the field by ambulance in a Sept. 11 victory over Rutgers.</p><p>The Panthers scored on the game's first play from scrimmage: a 75-yard toss from Dailey to Cataurus Hicks and, after BC went three-and-out, Kanye Thompson blocked a punt with the ball getting knocked out of the end zone by a BC player for a safety, moving Pitt ahead 9-0.</p><p>"They came out in a look that we thought they would and we liked it," Dailey said about his TD pass on the opening play. "Took a shot and made a play."</p><p>Pitt had five penalties for 63 yards on one BC drive early in the second quarter. The Panthers were flagged 10 times for 103 yards in the first half and 13 for 133 overall.</p><p>Pitt: After a brief stay in the AP Top 25 before losing at home against North Carolina last week, the Panthers were unimpressive with numerous breakdowns in the secondary against a team that entered 16th in the league in passing yards per game. </p><p>Boston College: It was a strange week for the Eagles' program with GM Kenyatta Watson abruptly leaving. O'Brien wouldn't elaborate during his media availability on Thursday.</p><p>Pitt: At No. 3 Miami next Saturday at noon.</p><p>Boston College: At Georgia Tech next Saturday.</p>

Hughes scored his first NHL goal, while Mackenzie Blackwood settled in after a shaky start to stop 29 shots. </p><p>Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead after scoring 29 seconds apart midway through the first period. The Avalanche erupted for five straight tallies, including three in the second period. </p><p>Colorado finished 1 of 4 on the power play in the Avalanche debut of assistant coach Brett McLean. He's in charge of the unit after Dave Hakstol left to take over as head coach of the men's hockey program at Arizona State.</p><p>Lehkonen's second goal tied it 25 seconds into the second period. Captain Gabriel Landeskog had a goal nearly four minutes later for his 83rd career go-ahead score. He's tied with Mikko Rantanen for sixth-most in Avalanche history. Hall of Famer Joe Sakic tops the list with 210.</p><p>Hughes got free down low and poked in a pass from MacKinnon. He was hugged by Cale Makar and then playfully <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/Avalanche/status/2111286744989720670">squirted with water</a> by Landeskog as Hughes made his way past the bench. </p><p>Sidney Crosby notched his 1,110th career assist to move into sole possession of seventh place in NHL history. He's also one assist shy of matching Ray Bourque (1,111 with Boston) for the most in league history with a one franchise.</p><p>MacKinnon improved to 12-6-3 when playing against Crosby, his good buddy from Nova Scotia.

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Sean "Diddy" Combs has been moved to a federal prison in Pennsylvania after reports that the hip-hop mogul was living the high life and was injured in a fight at his <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-federal-prison-new-jersey/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">New Jersey lockup</a>, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Friday.</p><p>The federal Bureau of Prisons is transferring <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-prison-chapel-drug-rehab-phone-call/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">Combs</a>, 56, from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security facility south of Williamsport and about 155 miles west of New York City, the person said. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity.</p><p>The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the move but provided no further details. The agency said it does not discuss conditions of confinement for anyone in its custody, including reasons for transfer, for privacy, safety, and security reasons.</p><p>"Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer," said Combs' spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer. "Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary disruption."</p><p>Combs is serving a four-year, two-month sentence for his conviction last year on <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-trial-verdict-jury/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">prostitution-related charges</a> for transporting people across state lines for sexual encounters. The case featured harrowing testimony about violence and sex parties he called "freak-offs." It was a forceful reckoning for one of music and entertainment's most influential figures.</p><p>Last month, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/diddys-pampered-life-prison-massages-nude-photos-hennessy-rcna600343">NBC News reported</a> that Combs was continuing to enjoy aspects of his millionaire lifestyle at FCI Fort Dix, smuggling in Hennessy, having fellow inmates cook, clean, make his bed and give him massages, and using a contraband cellphone to view social media and an ex-girlfriend's nude selfies.</p><p>On Wednesday, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/14/diddy-injured-in-fight-with-prison/">TMZ reported</a> that Combs was injured in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix and had to be taken out of the prison for treatment. In a rare rebuttal, the Bureau of Prisons refuted TMZ's report, telling the AP: "The story you are referring to is false and did not happen."</p><p>In the wake of the NBC report, Combs was placed in the prison's special housing unit, a heavily secured part of the facility away from the general population, for inmates with disciplinary issues or security concerns. He has also been docked 41 days of good-conduct credit, pushing his <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/diddy-sean-combs-expected-release-date/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">release date</a> back to March 2, 2028, according to the person familiar with the matter.</p><p>In April, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Combs' bid to overturn his conviction and sentence, which his lawyers argued was too harsh. The court has yet to rule.</p>
