                      <![CDATA[ <p>A Pittsburgh Regional Transit plan could leave riders in Shaler Township without a way to get around. Now, riders and leaders in Shaler are trying to get the PRT to rethink their plan.</p><p>Part of the agency's so-called "<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pittsburgh-regional-transit-bus-line-refresh/" target="_blank" data-absolute="true">Bus Line Refresh</a>," transit officials would like to eliminate two lines in Shaler.</p><p>Residents say that while PRT thinks this is an economical option for the agency, it could have a dramatic effect on economic viability for commuters.</p><p>They seem to be just two of the thousands of Pittsburgh Regional Transit routes, but for many, the Route 2 Mt. Royal and the P13 Mt. Royal Flyer along Mount Royal Boulevard are critical.</p><p>"It's the most important bus line, quite honestly," rider Autumn Krohe said. "I can't get to work, I can't get my medications. I live in Shaler, and the only way to go to and from is the bus line."</p><p>Some of PRT's goals focus on improving reliability and service frequency. PRT says the reason for potential elimination is simple: low ridership.</p><p>"We sent a letter to the PRT board. We said, please, do not do this. We need this service for the community," said Shaler Township Commissioner Josh Fleitman. "We're all urging PRT to think creatively here. What could it look like to keep this line open?"</p><p>Smaller buses, adjusted schedules, and routes might work, according to proponents. For them, something is better than nothing.</p><p>"Historically, this route has played a critical role in connecting Shaler Township to the region," Fleitman said.</p><p>Proponents of keeping the routes say they're putting the pressure on to keep the buses rolling to and from this part of Shaler.</p><p>A PRT spokesperson reiterated that no cuts have been finalized. The agency is planning public hearings where riders can voice opposition to particular route cuts.</p><p>Once finalized, the Bus Line Refresh plan could see implementation in 2027.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p><em>Washington </em>&mdash; President Trump is extending the ceasefire in the war with Iran until talks between the U.S. and Iran are "concluded," he announced Tuesday, despite previously saying he wouldn't extend the deadline.</p><p>The president said he is granting the ceasefire extension at Pakistan's request, and blamed Iran's "seriously fractured" government for the delay. He said he is giving Iranian officials more time to "come up with a unified proposal."</p><p>"I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other," the president posted on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116444507618729432">Truth Social</a> Tuesday afternoon.</p><p>Iran has not publicly reacted to the president's extension.</p><p>The two-week ceasefire was originally set to expire Tuesday night, but Mr. Trump has said in recent days it would end Wednesday evening. Mr. Trump said previously that he wasn't inclined to extend that deadline, and that the U.S.'s bombing campaign against Iran would resume upon the ceasefire's conclusion.&nbsp;</p><p>Asked on CNBC Tuesday morning whether he would allow the ceasefire to continue if talks are going well, the president said, "I don't want to do that. We don't have that much time."&nbsp;</p><p>"Well, I expect to be bombing, because I think that's a better attitude to go in with," he told CNBC. "But we're ready to go. I mean, the military is raring to go."</p><p>The U.S. and Iran agreed to a ceasefire two weeks ago, pausing hostilities and buying the two sides more time to negotiate.&nbsp;</p><p>Senior-level talks stalled after an initial meeting with U.S. and Iranian representatives in Islamabad, dashing hopes for further in-depth negotiations. After the first round of talks, Mr. Trump accused Iran of refusing to reach a deal on its nuclear program that the U.S. president views as acceptable.</p><p>Both sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire, with Iran blocking ships from transiting the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. blockades Iranian ports.&nbsp;</p><p>On Monday, the president said Vice President JD Vance, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were on their way to Islamabad, although that wasn't the case. A White House official said a senior U.S. delegation "plans to travel to Islamabad soon." But by the president's announcement of a ceasefire extension Tuesday, Vance was still in Washington.&nbsp;</p><p>The president has <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-messaging-iran-after-he-said-tehran-agreed-to-everything/">shifted his messaging</a></span> on the state of negotiations in recent days. On Friday, he said Iran has "agreed to everything," something that didn't bear out in Iran's own messaging. The Iranian Foreign Ministry insisted uranium will not be transferred to the U.S., despite Mr. Trump's claim that the U.S. would "take" the country's enriched uranium.&nbsp;</p><p>The U.S. is now more than seven weeks into what administration officials initially said would be a four-to-six-week campaign in Iran, beginning when the U.S. and Israel struck Iranian targets in late February.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Two more people are facing charges after an investigation into the death of a 9-year-old Fayette County girl in September revealed the women knew about the abuse but did nothing to stop it, the Fayette County district attorney announced on Tuesday.</p><p><span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/missing-endangered-9-year-old-girl-fayette-county/" target="_blank">Renesmay Eutsey's</a></span>&nbsp;grandma, 63-year-old Theresa Marie Shipley, and a family friend, 51-year-old Sandra Lynn Umensetter, are charged with endangering the welfare of children and recklessly endangering another person.&nbsp;</p><p>Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele said  Eutsey's autopsy report confirmed she died of malnourishment and neglect, as well as blunt force trauma to the head, neck, torso and extremities. A 7-year-old found in the home was hospitalized with injuries similar to the ones that led to Eutsey's death, Aubele said.&nbsp;</p><p>The district attorney said an analysis of Shipley and Umensetter's cell phones revealed that the two cared for the children in the home multiple times in the months before Eutsey's death.&nbsp;</p><p>"In short, the children in the home were subjected to severe child abuse and neglect over a long period of time," Aubele said in a statement. "These two defendants were present for it and supervised these children during the times they were severely abused; they did nothing to help them."&nbsp;</p><p>Two women, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/renesmay-eutsey-fayette-county-funeral/" target="_blank">Renesmay Eutsey's</a></span>&nbsp;foster mom Kourtney Eutsey and her wife&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/woman-charged-death-missing-fayette-county-9-year-old/" target="_blank">Sarah Shipley</a></span>, were charged with homicide in the girl's death.&nbsp;</p><p>The 9-year-old girl's body was found in the Youghiogheny River after police were called to a home on Third Street in Dunbar Borough for reports of a missing child.&nbsp;</p><p>According to police, Kourtney Eutsey told officers that Renesmay Eutsey died but she was too afraid to call 911 so she put the body in a bag, drove to the river and dumped the body along the shore bank.&nbsp;</p><p>After the girl's death, police said a boy in the home was taken to the hospital for "significant malnourishment." Calling it "torture," police said the doctor told them the boy was suffering from "deliberate and chronic neglect."&nbsp;    </p><p>In the most recent charges, Theresa Shipley is also facing a count of persons required to report suspected child abuse. Shipley and Umensetter were expected to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon.&nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>The <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/us-steel-eaglet-swallowed-fish-hook/" target="_blank">U.S. Steel eaglet</a></span>&nbsp;that had to be rescued from its nest this weekend after swallowing a fishhook is recovering well, according to the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia.</p><p>The eaglet, called USS 11 because it's the 11th eaglet born in the nest at U.S. Steel's Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, is recovering at the conservation center in Morgantown. In an update posted to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/ACCAWV/posts/pfbid028kHB6pFT7ZnPyJQBNNfEgDeXNfoE4uBERAzAVEouJE29ujiSraBvyTCfoHbxHaWVl">Facebook</a>, the nonprofit said USS 11 was "bright and alert" on Tuesday morning and is showing a healthy appetite, with trout as its favorite food.&nbsp;</p><p>The eaglet is gaining weight and has been moved to a spot where it can see and hear an adult bald eagle. The conservation center says if all continues to go well, the eaglet can be returned to its nest in the next week or so.&nbsp;</p><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/tamarackwildlife/posts/pfbid0366wvB3hiFYKKBEi1ZZVrFwmoww9AZiJ2jT3R4VXYS4egkzEiybUb5veaKnwHpb7jl">Tamarack Wildlife Center</a>, which helped coordinate USS 11's rescue, said it's a "relatively safe time" to return the eaglet because it and <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/video-eaglet-hatching-pittsburgh-nest/" target="_blank">its siblings</a></span>&nbsp;are young. The eaglet's return will be coordinated so there will be minimal disruption, and it's expected that the parents, Stella and Irvin, will accept the young bird.</p><p>The bird was removed from its nest with permission from the landowner as well as federal and state authorities after viewers of the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/us-steel-bald-eagle-cam/" target="_blank">livestream camera</a></span>&nbsp;noticed USS 11 had ingested a fishhook on Saturday.&nbsp;</p><p>A team of arborists removed the eaglet, and less than 12 hours later, the eaglet received treatment at the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia. The veterinarian wasn't able to remove the hook via endoscopy, so the eaglet underwent surgery, and the hook, along with the synthetic bait and fishing line that were still attached, was removed.&nbsp;</p><p>"Thank you so much to everyone involved in the rescue of the eaglet, and to the nest cam viewers who spotted the problem," the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia said. "This eagle would not have survived with the hook and so much fishing line in its digestive tract."&nbsp;</p><p>The conservation center says it's a good reminder for fishers to clean up their lines and hooks.&nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>No detail is too small when it comes to preparing Pittsburgh to host the NFL draft. That includes picking up trash and planting some greenery in our neighborhoods.</p><p>It's a kickoff for draft week, and over 50 volunteers, including Stacy Marinos, showed up in Pittsburgh's West End with trash bags in hand for the first community event of the NFL draft.</p><p>"You always leave things better than when you found them. So it's a win-win," Marinos said.</p><p>That win-win is part of an initiative Allegheny Cleanways started in September, months before the NFL draft began.&nbsp;</p><p>"It's great to be doing it now, to put a face on the community, maybe for out-of-town visitors so that they can see that we care about our community, we want to make it look great, we're proud of our community," Marinos said.</p><p>City pride and appreciation fill the air with these volunteers from the community, which include Friends of the Riverfront, Allegheny Cleanways, and members of the Steelers.</p><p>"I feel grateful for the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the work that Cleanways has been doing for 25 years," Allegheny Cleanways executive director Caily Grube said.</p><p>"Super grateful to Allegheny Cleanways. They launched the campaign for Immaculate Collection months before the draft to really make sure our city was ready to welcome so many visitors," Pittsburgh Steelers senior director of community relations Blayre Holmes Davis said.</p><p>Now that work is culminating in over 400 tons of trash collected off 50 highway miles for draft-related litter maintenance. It's teamwork worth applauding, with 60 more trees planted in Esplen.</p><p>"It's always a good day to plant a tree," Friends of the Riverfront executive director Kelsey Ripper said.</p><p>From trees in the ground to bags filled with trash, it's making Pittsburgh beautiful to show locals and visitors that Pittsburgh is loved and worthy of the national spotlight.</p><p>"We're excited to 'redd up' Pittsburgh to make it look beautiful to let people know that we care about our city and that they should come and enjoy the beauty that it has to offer," Ripper said.</p><p>Clean-up efforts with the Immaculate Collection will <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-absolute="true" href="/essentials/n95-like-masks-for-kids/">continue for two years</a>&nbsp;after the NFL draft leaves Pittsburgh.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>While all eyes will be on the No. 1 pick at this year's NFL draft, on Friday night, Heinz is going to be serving up draft pick 57 to the world. <br> <br>Pittsburgh is Heinz's hometown, and they're the official condiment of the NFL. Since the number 57 is synonymous with the brand, the corporation says it seems only right to sponsor the 57th pick in the draft.  <br> <br>"We are going to be sponsoring the 57th pick and actually working with a recognizable past 57th pick, Devin Hester, so that is going to be coming on Day 2 of the draft this week," said Jamie Mack, the associate director of communications for Heinz U.S. <br> <br>The 57th pick will be dubbed "Mr. 57," and that player will receive a lifetime supply of Heinz ketchup.</p><p>While the 57th pick is on the clock Friday night, fans can score $25 off orders from Heinz-verified restaurants, like Primanti Bros., on Uber Eats. For more information and a full list of select restaurants, fans can head to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releases-details/2026/HEINZ-Turns-the-57th-Pick-Into-Mr--57-at-This-Years-NFL-Draft/default.aspx">Heinz's website</a>.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A lawsuit has been filed against the Pittsburgh Pirates stemming from a fight last year between a fan and a game day employee.&nbsp;</p><p>Last spring, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/pirates-game-day-employee-punches-fan/" target="_blank">video showed the fan and the employee</a></span>&nbsp;fighting during a game at PNC Park. That fan has now sued the Pirates and the employee.</p><p>The lawsuit, filed in Allegheny County on behalf of Patrick Egan, alleges that during the fight, Egan suffered a concussion and facial injuries, including a chipped tooth, a bloody lip and more.</p><p>The incident began when Egan and his friend were accused of harassing a woman who worked at a concession stand. The game day employee, identified in the lawsuit as Raymond Stroud III, intervened in the situation.&nbsp;</p><p>In the lawsuit, Egan states that he was not involved in the altercation with the woman and that he did not harass her.&nbsp;</p><p>Bystanders and other employees tried to break up the fight, but within moments, Egan was seen spitting on Stroud. He then took off his belt and started hitting Egan.</p><p>Following the fight, the Pirates said Stroud's behavior was "entirely unacceptable," and he was immediately suspended.&nbsp;<span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/video-pirates-employee-fan-fight-update-investigation/" target="_blank">No charges were filed</a></span> in the wake of the fight, police said last year.</p><p>Egan is seeking damages for assault, battery, negligence, and invasion of privacy.&nbsp;</p><p>The suit also alleges that the Pirates failed to release security surveillance video of the incident that would have shown that Egan did not harass the concession worker.&nbsp;</p><p>The Pirates told CBS News Pittsburgh it doesn't comment on pending litigation.&nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>"CBS Mornings" exclusively revealed Pennsylvania high school teacher Leon Smith as the 2026 National Teacher of the Year, which is selected by the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/essentials/n95-like-masks-for-kids/">Council of Chief State School Officers' National Teacher of the Year program.</a></p><p>Smith, a social studies teacher at Haverford High School in Havertown, Pennsylvania, said the honor "just means everything."</p><p>"It's just such an honor to be able to represent teachers all over the country and really stand on the shoulders of so many others that have come before me that have done just such great work," Smith said in an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Tuesday.</p><p>Smith, who teaches AP U.S. history and AP African American studies, was previously named the <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/pennsylvania-teacher-of-the-year-leon-smith-haverford/">2025 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year.</a></span></p><p>In a video, students at Haverford High School and colleagues described Smith as passionate, caring, charismatic and engaging.</p><p>"He is everything you want in a teacher," principal Pete Donaghy said in the video. "He relates African American studies or U.S. history to his students."</p><p>Smith reflected on the difference teachers can make in the lives of their students. For him, his favorite teacher was his first grade teacher, Ms. Mason.</p><p>"Just how she made me feel," Smith said. "So I just think that's the power of a teacher, that it's not always the content but it's how you make the students feel is what they remember."&nbsp;</p><p>Smith said he thinks it's crucial to let students "know that you care."</p><p>"And also just being able to see things in students that they cannot see in themselves."</p><p>Smith is also a longtime basketball coach, coaching the freshman team at Haverford High School.</p><p>"I was one of his players and he made sure that I felt seen," a former player told "CBS Mornings." "He made me feel like I actually had a purpose."</p><p>Smith's love for basketball started when he was young. His favorite player ever is Julius Erving, known as Dr. J., who Smith said made him "fall in love" with the game.</p><p>Erving surprised Smith on "CBS Mornings" by congratulating him in person on being named the National Teacher of the Year.</p><p>"When I got the notification about Leon, I realized that his school Haverford is literally right around the corner from a house that I lived in for 11 years," Erving said. "So there was a connection ... I said, 'Well, let's go and be on the show. Go see some people. Spread some joy. Spread some love.'"</p><p>Erving recalled a teacher who had an impact on his life.</p><p>"The most significant was Mr. Ray Wilson, who actually taught special ed in my high school, but he was also my basketball coach," Erving said, describing Wilson as a lifelong mentor.</p><p>"He lived until he was in his 80s, and he was always there. He was always my first call anytime anything came up. Big or small, I could always call him, anytime, day or night. That was special."</p><p>Smith called meeting Erving an honor and said he's thankful for a moment that he'll never forget.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Five officers with the Penn Hills Police Department filed a civil lawsuit against the township and several of its leaders, alleging corruption and collusion.</p><p>The lawsuit, which is hundreds of pages, names the municipality of Penn Hills, its council, Mayor Pauline Calabrese and the Penn Hills Police Department Advisory Board.</p><p>Police Chief Jason Bonace is not named as a defendant, but the complaint argues civil service rules were violated to promote him from K-9 officer to police chief.&nbsp;</p><p>According to the lawsuit, the civil service rules state that a person must have spent five years as a supervisor and achieved the rank of lieutenant. The suit claims the council retroactively changed the rules to accommodate Bonace's promotion and goes on to say Bonace's actions created a hostile work environment. &nbsp;</p><p>The plaintiffs also allege the council agreed to implement an act allowing officers to reach 25 years of service sooner and retire with full benefits in exchange for the police advisory board agreeing to a 12-hour shift trial period of one year. The lawsuit claims everyone signed the agreement, but the act was never implemented.</p><p>The chief did not attend the council meeting on Monday, but Mayor Calabrese was there.</p><p>"I'm not surprised, but this is business as usual," Calabrese&nbsp;said. "I will just say we don't comment specifically on personnel matters. But I have confidence that our solicitor will respond, and there are two sides to every story."</p><p>The plaintiff's attorney, Kimberly Gompers, said she could not comment because of the ongoing litigation and the plaintiffs are all current employees. The defendants have 20 days to respond.</p>

Ternus, a 25-year Apple veteran, will assume the role of CEO on September 1, the company said.</p><p>"It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be the CEO of Apple and to have been trusted to lead such an extraordinary company," Cook said in a statement. "I love Apple with all of my being, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a team of such ingenious, innovative, creative and deeply caring people who have been unwavering in their dedication to enriching the lives of our customers and creating the best products and services in the world."&nbsp;</p><p>Cook also praised Ternus, saying he "has the mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator, and the heart to lead with integrity and with honor."</p><p>"I am profoundly grateful for this opportunity to carry Apple's mission forward," Ternus said in a statement. "Having spent almost my entire career at Apple, I have been lucky to have worked under Steve Jobs and to have had Tim Cook as my mentor. It has been a privilege to help shape the products and experiences that have changed so much of how we interact with the world and with one another."</p><p>Cook, 65, succeeded Apple co-founder Steve Jobs as CEO in 2011. Over the course of his nearly 15 years at the helm of Apple, Cook has focused on launching and expanding services including Apple Pay, Apple TV and Apple Music, which generate more than $100 billion a year for the firm. Cook also oversaw the launches of new products including the Apple Watch and AirPods.</p><h2>Big shoes</h2><p>Apple's market value has surged roughly $3.6 trillion over the course of Cook's tenure as CEO.</p><p>"Ternus's name has been mentioned throughout the media over the last several months as the most likely Cook successor, so the fact he's getting the job won't be shocking to people (and the fact its Ternus instead of someone with more of a software background speaks to how Apple sees itself as a hardware-first organization)," Adam Crisafulli an equity analyst with Vital Knowledge, said in a note to investors.&nbsp;</p><p>Yet Wedbush Securities technology analyst Dan Ives said Cook is leaving at a critical time for Apple.</p><p>"These will be big shoes to fill, and the timing of Cook exiting stage left as CEO could make sense but also creates questions," Ives said in a report. "Apple is making a major transition on its AI strategy, and longtime CEO and legendary Cook leaving now is a surprise."</p>
