Five things about Pittsburgh before matchup vs. FSU

Florida State ended an emotional week after parting ways with head coach Mike Norvell by defeating the Boston College Eagles last Saturday. Now, they'll turn around just six days later and take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in their final road game of the season. Pittsburgh started the year 5-0 with a 2-0 record in the ACC, but they lost three straight games conference games before defeating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets heading into their bye week. With a 3-3 record in the ACC, Pittsburgh has to win its three remaining games to have a shot at the conference title.

With that said, here are five things to know about Pittsburgh. Very good home team Pittsburgh has a record of 6-3. Almost all of their wins have been at home, as they've posted a 5-1 record on their field. They've gone 2-1 in the ACC at home, with their only loss being to the North Carolina Tar Heels, which ended their 5-0 start a month ago. Florida State just

Mt. Lebanon deaths leave parents facing tough talks with kids

Children in Mount Lebanon may continue to experience fear, trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating in the weeks after the deaths of a father and his two young children, according to a child psychologist who says parents should talk openly with their children about the tragedy. On Nov. 3, 42-year-old Patrick Lynch and his children, 8-year-old James Lynch and 6-year-old Caroline Lynch, died after an apparent fall from the parking garage behind the Mount Lebanon municipal building, according to a community announcement. Authorities later ruled the children's deaths homicides and their father's death a suicide, according to USA TODAY. The deaths have prompted an outpouring of support in Mount Lebanon. “This morning, we continue to offer our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and anyone touched by the tragedy in Mt. Lebanon yesterday,” the municipality wrote in a mtlebanon.org statement. Officials said seeing neighbors reach out to one another was providing “solace on this sad day” and thanked first responders for their efforts. For children who knew the family, attend schools in the community or have repeatedly encountered coverage online, however, the effects may continue beyond the immediate aftermath.

The Individualism of Roger Humphries

Around 9 p.m. on gala night of the 2026 Pittsburgh Jazz Festival, I was obliged to exit an immensely satisfying concert by Samara Joy and her cohesive septet in the August Wilson Cultural Center’s auditorium to emcee a set by drum grandmaster Roger Humphries. A familiar and beloved figure in Pittsburgh’s hardcore jazz circles for most of his 82 years, Humphries reached the global stage during his 1964–’67 tenure with Horace Silver, during which he developed a creative, still-fresh, swing-meets Afro-Latin beat matrix to propel bandmates Joe Henderson, Carmel Jones, Woody Shaw and J.J. Johnson on albums like Song For My Father, The Cape Verdean Blues and The Jody Grind, thereby stamping his tonal personality in the volatile mix of contemporaneous drum expression then being developed by individualistic, virtuosic generational contemporaries like Tony Williams, Joe Chambers, Jack DeJohnette, Lenny White and Billy Cobham.
