00:00A Beaver Area School Board member says he will not resign over a controversial social media post.
00:05Luke Berardelli was commenting on Facebook on the result of Lindsay Clancy's trial.
00:10The jury deadlocked with the majority in favor of finding Clancy not criminally responsible for killing her three children.
00:18In his post, Berardelli said maybe the Islamic faith is the correct way to go,
00:22considering they give women zero rights at all.
00:25And he defended himself at last night's board meeting.
00:27This agreement with my speech does not require me to surrender my own right to speak
00:32or be forced to assume beliefs assigned to me by the infusers.
00:37Berardelli said he was using sarcasm at Nye Burbally to make a point about extremism.
00:42Beaver Area Superintendent Dr. Sean Akin told KDKA-TV.
00:46I believe that that statement does not reflect who we are as educators nor who we are as a school
00:55district.
00:55Five of eight school board members called on Berardelli to step down during last night's meeting.
01:00The Senate has passed the Protect College Sports Act by a vote of 77 to 22.
01:05This bill establishes a federal framework for college athletics to create one system
01:10on how athletes can earn money from their name, image, and likeness and how often they can transfer.
01:15The bill also caps the amount of money schools can share with athletes.
01:19Pat Bostick is Senior Associate Athletic Director, Business Development and Street Street Partnerships at Pitt.
01:25I think we can all agree that there are a lot of components to this that make a ton of
01:28sense.
01:29It's not perfect, but I don't know if we're going to get perfect in college sports in today's day and
01:34age.
01:34The bill now goes to the House where it faces an uphill battle.
01:38A multi-state settlement is putting new requirements on LabCorp
01:42after a data breach involving its medical debt collector.
01:45Newsradio KDKA's Tamyra Rush has details from the newsroom.
01:48Paul, the 2019 breach happened at LabCorp's Medical Debt Collector
01:52and potentially exposed the personal information of more than 27.5 million people nationwide,
01:58including more than 218,000 Pennsylvanians.
02:01LabCorp, a medical testing company, will pay more than $43,000 to Pennsylvania as part of the settlement.
02:08The company must also strengthen its cybersecurity, limit how much patient data it shares with vendors,
02:14and improve oversight of those companies.

02:19Millvale police are taking up donations after a devastating house fire on Monday morning.
02:25Newsradio KDKA's David Bollorato has more.
02:27Police say the single-family home was destroyed by the fire that broke out before dawn Monday morning.
02:32Nine different fire crews were called to battle the blaze at Siegel and Lippert.
02:36The family that lived there lost everything.
02:38So now Millvale police are accepting donations to help them out.
02:41While they won't handle cash donations, police say anything else would be welcome,
02:45especially things like clothing for a 17-year-old girl or a 16-year-old boy.
02:49The donations may be dropped off at the Millvale Police Department on Lincoln Avenue.
