(Edgeworth, PA) Three men are now in custody after a burglary that happened in Edgeworth at when the police chief of Edgeworth confirms was around 8:30 a.m. yesterday morning. A female homeowner on Oliver Road noticed her security cameras caught footage of two masked men attempting to break into the back door of the house, and then she called police. When the pair of suspects were inside, police surrounded the home, but the duo ran off. When a male neighbor in Edgeworth saw the suspects running through his backyard, he tackled one of them outside until police put him in handcuffs. The other suspect was hiding in a bush crawling on his hands and knees before a Leetsdale police officer caught him and arrested him. A third man was arrested after Ohio Township police discovered a car with Georgia license plates that authorities say may have been connected with the burglary incident. One witness noticed the police activity and also received a text that Quaker Valley High School was on lockdown after the reported home invasion. Even though the police chief of Edgeworth stated that the men that were arrested were not from the Pittsburgh area, authorities believe that the trio may be a professional group working in that area because they have video of the suspect’s car casing the house that was burglarized from yesterday.

(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a release from Allegheny Health Network, AHN West Penn Hospital announced today that it is the first U.S. site to participate in a clinical study involving use of the Medtronic Hugo™ robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system in gynecological procedures. This achievement was part of the “Embrace Gynecology” investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical study, which aims to evaluate both the effectiveness and safety of the Hugo RAS system for its use in gynecologic procedures, and this marks a significant step forward in the expansion of minimally invasive options for treatment for women in the United States. The very first procedure which was part of this national study, which was a total hysterectomy (uterus removal), was performed at AHN West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, and was completed successfully by Sarah Crafton, MD and Eirwen Miller, MD, who are both gynecological oncology surgeons.

(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, (PUC), they voted 3-2 yesterday to advance its ongoing review of large-load growth including hyperscale data centers. This will help by a Tentative Order being issued proposing a model tariff statewide in Pennsylvania to guide how large electric customers both connect to the grid and responsibly share costs. According to that same release from the PUC, here is some more information about this tentative order:

Background

• In March 2025, the Commission launched a proceeding to examine the grid impacts of data-center growth and other high-demand electric users, followed by a hearing in April 2025 that brought together utilities, consumer advocates, industry stakeholders, and members of the public.
• The Tentative Order adopted today reflects that input and outlines a model approach that utilities can use to help ensure timely, transparent, and fair interconnection of large loads, while protecting existing ratepayers and preserving long-term system reliability.

Highlights of the Tentative Order

• Defines large-load customers and aligns Pennsylvania’s approach with emerging practices across the PJM region.
• Strengthens protections for existing customers through cost-causation measures — including contributions-in-aid-of-construction, tiered collateral, and minimum contract terms.
• Encourages large-load customers to contribute toward programs that support low-income customers.
• Encourages faster, more transparent interconnections through clustered study timelines, optional independent studies, and limited customer-built upgrades meeting utility standards.
• Incentivizes flexibility by providing rate options for customers willing to accept interruptible or flexible service during peak system demand.
• Invites public feedback to refine these guidelines before a final order is issued.

How to Comment

The Tentative Order will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, triggering a 30-day public comment period. Interested parties may file comments as follows:
