Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and stories that will be talked about in Pennsylvania on Tuesday:
1. ONE PITTSBURGH RIVER IMPROVING, ANOTHER DECLINING POSSIBLY DUE TO DRILLING POLLUTANTS
Duke University researchers say ultra-salty bromides are decreasing in the Monongahela River, after Marcellus Shale drillers stopped taking wastewater to municipal treatment plans along the river. But the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority say bromides are increasing in the Allegheny River, possibly from non-Marcellus drilling and industry.

The family of Moses Walker Jr. isn’t saying what will be announced, but the family has been unhappy about how authorities handled prior arrests of the man charged with murdering Walker.
3. PITTSBURGH STEELERS WIN ONE, LOSE ONE ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
The 16-13 overtime victory against the Kansas City Chiefs puts the Steelers in position to play for first place in the AFC North next Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens. But they lost star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a shoulder injury and it’s unclear if he’ll play against the Ravens.
