LUNCH TALKDue to weather and community philosophies, a lot of communities do not trick or treat on Halloween anymore. Traditionalists and "old-school" parents are upset by this because trick or treating should happen on Halloween, not November 1st like Scottdale or November 2nd like Avonmore.

Today's Number: 1924As reported by USA Today, "The Washington Nationals are bringing the World Series trophy back to the nation's capital for the first time since 1924.

Today's Number: 27Despite starting off slowly, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the winless Miami Dolphins, 27-14, last night at Heinz Field. Mason Rudolph finished the game with 251 yards and two touchdowns, while James Conner racked up 145 yards and 1 TD. The story of the night was the Pittsburgh defense, however, as they in all accounted for a total of 4 sacks, 2 interceptions, and didn't allow a point after the 1st quarter. The Steelers now sit at 3-4, which is good enough for 2nd place in the division behind the Ravens at 5-2 and above the hapless Browns (2-5) and the winless Bengals (0-8). Can they turn it around?
