HARGILL — A father and his two sons remain in custody after being arrested for the early morning July 3 shooting of ICE agent Kelton Harrison at the intersection of Farm to Market 493 and Cemetery Road, according to the criminal complaint.
Pedro Alvarado, 41, and his son Arnoldo Alvarado, 18, were charged with attempted capital murder charges. Pedro Alvarado's 16-year-old son is also facing attempted capital murder charges in the 449th State District Court. The juvenile is undergoing a psychological evaluation to determine whether he is mentally fit to be tried as an adult.
Pedro and Arnoldo Alvarado were denied bond July 10.
In the early morning hours of July 3, Harrison was conducting surveillance in anticipation of an expected drug transaction believed to be occurring near Hargill. While parked with his lights off, another vehicle approached his and fired shots at it. Harrison fled north while the other vehicle pursued and continued shooting at him. He lost control of his vehicle at which point other agents arrived on the scene, according to the criminal complaint. Harrison was shot in the back and is recovering.
According to the criminal complaint, Arnoldo Alvarado waived his Miranda Rights and told investigators that his father told him and his brother to go get a 9mm handgun and a .22-caliber rifle because a suspicious vehicle was near their residence.
Arnoldo Alvarado said he sat in front and the 16-year-old sat in back and drove west on Cemetery Road toward Harrison's vehicle with their lights off. Arnoldo Alvarado said the 16-year-old juvenile fired approximately six times toward the silver vehicle. Arnoldo Alvarado said he fired the 9mm handgun twice in the air and then numerous rounds at Harrison's vehicle, according to the criminal complaint.
During the investigation, authorities received consent to search Pedro Alvarado's residence in Hargill where they found two undocumented aliens identified as Mario Edonilson Ascencio-Martir, 24, and Joel Eliezar Gutierrez-Mendez, 25, citizens of El Salvador, who were present at the resident before and after the incident. According to the criminal complaint, the two men are being held as material witnesses.

Jordin Sparks has only been dating her boyfriend Jason Derulo for a couple of years, but they've already figured out the answer to the age-old question that plagues couples who've been together for decades...a question that once again rears its ugly head this week: whose family are we spending the holidays with?
Jordin and her family live in Arizona -- not close to Jason's family at all -- plus her birthday is December 22, making Christmas an extra-special time. So what do they do? "Since the first year, we've been switching off," she tells ABC News Radio. "In the beginning, he took me to his family at Thanksgiving and that's where I pretty much met his entire family, and then he came to Arizona and celebrated my birthday and Christmas Eve with us, and then he went home."
And last year, Jordin says, it was the opposite. "He was in Arizona for Thanksgiving, and I went and spent Christmas with him and now it's gonna flip again this year," she explains. So this Thursday, Jordin says, "So I'm gonna go [spend] Thanksgiving with his family and he's gonna come for Christmas."
Or, to put it another way, "We flip-flop," says Jordin.
But the more pressing question is: will this be the holiday season that sees Jordin and her man finally getting engaged? Stay tuned.

She might be known for her talent on the piano and her unmistakable voice, but Alicia Keys is also one of the most beautiful singers in Hollywood. Keys, who has recently been on the down-low since marrying Swizz Beatz and opting for a simpler life, showed up at the Grammys in style. The songstress opted for a simple black ensemble with a little bit of gold around her neck, and topped it off with the perfect amount of liquid eyeliner.
In addition to attending, Keys sang at the Grammys and showed off her talent (and makeup!) in front of the big audience. It seems certain that the singer isn't going anywhere any time soon, especially when it comes to the front covers of magazines for her impeccable style.
If you want to achieve a similar look, all you have to do is pull your liquid eyeliners and tube mascara from blinc out of your makeup bag. With the liquid eyeliner, you can define your eyes and make them bolder on a whim. If your lashes are lacking length, the tube mascara can take care of that. The product is designed to encase your lashes with small tubes for additional length and volume.

Darkness with Harkness
This is Ned Harkness. It's important to know that he was a legendary college coach long before the Detroit Red Wings hired him. Harkness built exceptional programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Cornell and won the NCAA title in 1954 (RPI), 1967 (Cornell with Ken Dryden) and 1970 (Cornell, 29-0-0 without Dryden).
On May 22 1970 the Detroit Red Wings hired Harkness to be their head coach. At first blush it must have seemed like a fine idea, a man with so much success in the college ranks moving up to the pro's with fresh strategy and a new voice.
There was a problem. Some of the veterans started grumbling about Ned's rules (he banned smoking in the dressing room, which pissed off Alex Delvecchio and "trainer" Lefty Wilson) and then there was the coaching which didn't sit well with the men of the winged wheel.
I can't possibly explain in 10,000 words what is detailed here. If you enjoy hockey history, prepare to be amazed.

The arctic blast could kill thousands of chickens all over the state, particularly here in North Alabama. The problem, a lack of propane for heating purposes, is so severe that Governor Bentley has declared a state of emergency.
Poultry farmers said it was just a few weeks ago they went from rationing propane to being told from suppliers they cannot get any more. They hope what levels they have in their tanks now will help them weather the cold.
Chicken houses are not well insulated and use a lot of energy to keep them warm. Terry Tucker said approximately three weeks ago they began hearing about a shortage issue when the first cold snap blew in.
Tucker said when the birds first come to their homes they are very vulnerable and baby chicks require temperatures of over 90 degrees. When the temperatures get really cold, propane use is naturally at its highest. Tucker said running out of fuel would be a disaster.
"It's going to be a shell game – where are they going to find the gas? What if they don't find the gas? If they don't, then the baby chicks won't perform; a lot of them will die, and they'll lose a lot of money," he said.
As many as 800 poultry growers have contracted with United Propane Gas of Kentucky to receive propane, but are now being told they cannot currently supply the fuel. In recent weeks the company began rationing propane, but as of Wednesday stopped all supplies.
Dixie Pipeline brings the propane to Alabama with terminals in Demopolis and Opelika. Officials said the pipe is maxed out and couldn't provide more, no matter how much officials want to. Company spokesman Rick Rainey said it started with the crop drying season, followed by the cold weather, saying an opportunity to build reserves has not come up.
United Propane President Eric Small said the choice has come down to either dead birds or dead people. "There is a law that Congress has; if there is a shortage, this propane has to be carried in to residential, to keep people alive in their homes and cut off schools, businesses, chicken houses. That is a law," he said.
Small said they may not be able to get any more propane beofre the end of the month.
Governor Bentley's emergency declaration will eliminate price gouging and allow for any easier access to the fuel that can be provided. Both the governor and the farmers know the problem won't be fixed overnight, but hope relief comes soon.

It's a day hundreds of people have anticipated for months. The 781st Transportation Company left for Afghanistan 9 months ago. They returned to the open arms of friends and family.
You couldn't miss them! Three charter buses filled with more than 120 soldiers rolled into Fort Deposit and marched into city hall.
After a short ceremony and some encouraging words, the men and women scurried to find their families.
Except for Barbara Abner who had trouble finding her husband. Until she and her daughter finally spotted him. Her daughter took off running and jumped in his arms.
"We're just happy, we're so excited. We're glad he's back!" says Abner.
"It's just a great feeling. The warm welcome to welcome you back, ya know, so you just have to enjoy," says Staff Sgt. Terrence Abner.
Many say this is their second deployment, but this homecoming beats them all.
"It's a good feeling. We didn't expect this kind of turnout. It's nice to see people care," says Robert Fontenot.
Some families say they waited to celebrate Christmas Day until the day their soldiers could be there with them.
"We have Christmas presents waiting for him," says Barbara Abner.
"All Christmas is left up at his house. It's all decorated for him, inside and out," says Jane Holley to her son, a soldier.
While in Afghanistan, the 781st conducted transportation missions and performed security duties.
Many say they often found themselves in harms' way.

2007 Fontodi Flaccianello
"I tasted the 2007 Flaccianello a number of times from barrel and tank before it was bottled. The 2007 is a bold, extroverted Flaccianello that sweeps across the palate with sensual layers of candied cherries, violets, spices and minerals. Dark, mentholated notes develop in the glass, adding further dimensions of inner sweetness, weight and complexity to this Tuscan thoroughbred. While so many 2007s are forward and open, Flaccianello remains muscular, taut and in need of significant cellaring. Still, the round, enveloping finish augurs extremely well for the future."

One of the main goals of rehabilitation is to prepare the patient for life after discharge. This includes the following:
Adapting to living with a disability
Promoting independence
Planning for a safe and accessible environment
Community re-entry plans are individualized and are based on the patient's physical abilities and needs. Both the patient and family should be involved in planning re-entry into the community.
Many times, adjustments, a transitional period, and modifications need to be made to help a person with a disability function independently. This may involve, but is not limited to, the following:
Home. Installing wheelchair ramps, raised toilet seats, or handrails on stairways
School. Special computers or adaptive equipment to allow for alternative means of communication, examinations, and training materials
Work. New job skills, transitional work, job placement, and vocational counseling
Recreational, social, or sports activities. Mobility in public places, such as restaurants, churches, or stadiums
Transportation. Getting in and out of a car or bus, or installing special hand controls or lifts
Communications. Providing qualified readers and interpreters
Rehabilitation team members and community agencies often work together to help people with disabilities succeed.

Baseball continues dominance with second-straight Sunday run-rule game
Boxscore | NC Season Stats
GREELEY, Colo. – For the second straight Sunday, the Northern Colorado baseball team put up a dominant performance, run-ruling the opponent. The Bears (16-27, 12-4 Great West) defeated NJIT (11-29, 4-12 GWC) 12-2 for the series sweep.
Northern Colorado has now won eight straight in Great West Conference play and nine of its last 10 games on the year to sit alone in second place in the standings, behind Utah Valley (11-1).
Senior Chris Carlberg pitched a complete-game, the first of his career for the Bears. He allowed just two runs (one earned) on five hits, with no walks. He also tied his career-high with five strikeouts, knotting his effort from last weekend against Texas-Pan American. It is the sixth complete game thrown by a Bears pitcher this season.
"Chris is feeling it," said Head Coach Carl Iwasaki. "He's one of these senior's who's taking it moment-by-moment. He knows his time is coming to an end and he wants to help the team however he can."
The Bears scored their 12 runs on 15 hits with four NJIT errors. The 15 hits came from five different players as senior second baseman T.J. Berge and freshman catcher Matt Jones each had four, junior left fielder Jarod Berggren had three and junior centerfielder and junior designated hitter Casey Coy each had two. Berggren also led all players with five RBI.
Jones was missing just the home run for the cycle, as he singled in both the second and fifth innings, tripled in the third and doubled in the sixth. Since moving into the starting lineup nine games ago, Jones is hitting .500 and is second on the team with 10 runs scored.
"I couldn't be more pleased with how Jones is playing," said Iwasaki. "He's putting the ball in play, he's swinging with confidence and he's commanding and controlling the pitchers."
With his four hits, Berge moved into fifth on the Northern Colorado career charts with 198 career base knocks, passing Steve Thomas (1987-90) who had 195 in his time.
"T.J. is such a quality individual," said Iwasaki. "He's a great leader out there and he's getting the job done. I think people tend to overlook T.J. and Adam (Hilker) because they just get the job done every day. They go out there and make the routine plays, they're getting on base and they play hard all the time and that's what this game is all about."
Berge singled with two outs in the first inning and Berggren reached on a throwing error by the pitcher, which allowed Berge to score.
The Bears batted around in the second and scored four for the 5-0 lead. Coy led off with a double to center and Jones singled between the short stop and third baseman. Crudo then hit a shot down the third base line, but the third baseman threw the ball past second, plating Coy and moving Jones to third. Valenzuela was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Hilker hit a long fly to center for a sacrifice fly. Fanning singled and Berggren doubled for the four runs.
NC added two more in the third. Coy singled and scored on a triple by Jones, who scampered home on a sacrifice fly to center by Crudo.
The Highlanders scored one run in the fifth inning. They hit back-to-back singles to start the inning before Carlberg retired the next three, but Bryan Bleakley scored on a groundout by John Bouck.
In the sixth, Fanning laid down a perfect bunt for a single down the third base line and a throwing error by the pitcher, Prestano, put Fanning on third. Berge followed with a single back to the pitcher and Berggren doubled again to centerfield. A Jones double two batters later scored Berggren for the 10-1 lead.
Two errors and a single gave the Highlanders one run back in the top of the seventh, but the Bears came back swinging in their half of the inning. With two outs, Fanning drew the only walk of the day, Berge singled through the right side and Berggren tripled for two runs and the run rule was enforced, giving NC the 12-2 win.
The Bears turn their attention to final examinations this week. They return to the field on Friday, hosting North Dakota for a four-game series. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 3:00 pm.

Intel Rapid Start in Linux
New feature will wake the system from sleep mode in six seconds.
Kernel developer Matthew Garrett has submitted a patch for enabling the innovative Intel Rapid Start Technology (IRST) with the Linux kernel. Intel's stated goal for IRST is to bring a system back from sleep mode in six seconds or less.
According to Garrett, although the IRST documentation implies that the technology is tied to the motherboard and the CPU, "...as far as I can tell, it is entirely implemented firmware and could just as well on, say, a Cyrix on a circa-1996 motherboard if someone wrote the BIOS code."
Implementing IRST as a kernel patch is only part of the story. As Garrett points out, "There's still the remaining question of how userspace should make use of these [changes], and also how installers should behave when it comes to systems that support IRST."
Pending objections from the development community, the kernel patch, which adds an interface for setting the necessary IRST values, is targeted for the upcoming Linux kernel 3.11 revision.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- In a shocking twist murder charges against Dejuan Hammond have been dropped.
Prosecutors say they had no choice because witnesses who were expected to testify against him could not be found.
Hammond was initially charged in connection with the 2009 shooting death of Troya Sheckles at Shelby Park, it was a bombshell to a case that's already seen so many twists and turns.
"I'm incredibly disappointed. We thought we were ready to go forward," Elizabeth Jones Brown, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, said.
Dejuan Hammond was set to go on trial in connection with the March 2009 shooting death of a witness Troya Sheckles. Scheckles was gunned down in Shelby Park before she was scheduled to testify against his brother Llyod Hammond. The Commonwealth says it's clear to them why witnesses keep backing out.
"I think there is a problem with witnesses because this is a case about a witness being killed," Brown said.
One of the witnesses in this case has a warrant for his arrest and another is on parole. Hammond's attorneys' said their client is disappointed.
"We were actually really looking forward to going forward and trying this case. Dejuan is innocent and we are looking forward to our day in court and we are going to prove that," Ted Shouse, Hammond Attorney, said.
Hammond is being held on multiple drug charges on other pending Circuit Court indictments and will not be released from custody. He is set to go to trial on an unrelated home-invasion case on April 7, 2014.
Any felony case that is dismissed without prejudice can be re-indicted. The Commonwealth fully intends to re-indict this case and proceed to trial once the witnesses are located.

By now, hopefully everyone has been able to catch an episode of The Car Show on Speed, but for those who have not, here's your chance to take a sneak peek at what you're missing. In Episode 4, Adam Corolla and Matt Farah had the luxury of sitting down with the great Steve Millen as they relived his start and end in professional racing. As some of you may know, Steve Millen took part in New Zealand's IMSA GT racing and has the most all-time wins in IMSA GTS history with 20 victories, along with the series record in pole positions with 23 top spots. This guy is a racing legend and his family - Rhod, Rhys, and most recently Ryan - have also played a huge part in racing.
Check out the video to see the full interview, as well as a slot car racing challenge against Steve Millen and Dan Neil. And if you haven't caught an episode of The Car Show, make sure you tune in on Wednesdays at 10pm on the Speed channel.

Ohio Brain Tumor Working Group
Administered by Case CCC, the Ohio Brain Tumor Working Group is a coordinated multi-center effort, takes on a cellular biology translational approach to glioma therapy, is participated by multiple adult or children brain tumor centers in Ohio, made up of 4-5 projects, 3 cores, a Career Developmental Program and a Developmental Research Program.
The Ohio Brain Tumor Study (OBTS)
The Ohio Brain Tumor Study (OBTS) is a prospective study of primary benign and malignant brain tumor patients from the four major academic centers in the state of Ohio: The Brain Tumor and Neuro-Oncology Center at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) and University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC), Rose Ella Burkhardt Brain Tumor and Neuro-Oncology Center at the Cleveland Clinic, the Dardinger Neuro-oncology Center and the Department of Neurosurgery at the James Cancer Hospital and Ohio State University Medical Center, and the Brain Tumor Center at the University of Cincinnati. Our primary aim is to objectively characterize subtypes of primary benign and malignant brain tumors using genetic and environmental exposure information and associate these with clinical outcomes. All newly diagnosed primary malignant and benign patients are identified at each center and consented for study. From each patient we obtain the following: blood sample (for DNA, RNA, plasma and mononuclear cells), snap-frozen tumor tissue within 15-30 minutes of resection (for DNA and RNA) or re-cuts of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue (for DNA), interview/questionnaire data, medical chart review and active yearly follow-up for clinical outcomes. This protocol forms a new brain tumor genetic epidemiology research consortia between the four major academic centers in the State of Ohio accruing eligible subjects to the first prospective accrual study of genetics of brain tumors and outcome in Ohio.
Since the inception of OBTS, some pilot grant monies have been sought after and secured using the accrued specimens. A Clinical & Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) Small Pilot Award has been awarded to Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan to study methylation patterns in benign and atypical meningiomas using banked samples from OBTS. Also, two new Case CCC pilot grants are recently awarded to Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan and her research team using the banked samples from OBTS to build human brain tumor tissue microarrays and to do targeted proteomics on short-term vs. long term survival GBM patients.
Tissue Source Site (TSS) Networks in Support of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Program
After the success of the three-year TCGA pilot program, funded by the National Cancer Institute and National Human Genome Research Institute, to accelerate our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genomic analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing, the NCI launched a full on new TCGA TSS program encompassing over 20 cancers, and awarded Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan the new TCGA contract using the entire OBTS statewide network as TSS network to prospectively accrue newly diagnosed grade II-IV glioma patients and their annotated biospecimens and clinical data.
International Case-Control Study of Malignant Glioma
The goal of this project is to build upon and expand the GLIOGENE (GLIOGENE: An International Brain Tumor Family Study) infrastructure to recruit more than 6000 glioma cases and 6000 controls and collect biologic samples from 14 participating GLIOGENE sites to have a sufficiently large data set to further our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the development of this devastating disease. Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan is the local PI of the Cleveland glioma recruiting sites at UHCMC and Cleveland Clinic.
African American Cancer Epidemiology Study (AACES) a.k.a. Epidemiology of Ovarian Cancer in African American Women
The goal of this project is to study environmental and genetic risk factors for ovarian cancer in African American women. The project will utilize rapid case ascertainment networks in nine states, including Ohio, to identify African American women diagnosed with ovarian cancer within 1-3 months of diagnosis. Appropriately matched controls will also be accrued (matched on age, race, state and county). Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan is the Ohio PI for the rapid case ascertainment system in Ohio recruiting women with ovarian cancer.
Case GI SPORE
Director, Biostatistics Core
In September 2011, the Case CCC was awarded a research grant to establish a GI SPORE- GI Cancers Research Center at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). With this designation, CWRU joins only six other nationally recognized GI SPORE Centers of Excellence in the country. Researchers from CWRU, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center and Cleveland Clinic, all members of the Cancer Center, collaborate in the research effort. The GI SPORE team intends to battle these diseases by developing new tests to identify individuals who are susceptible to these cancers; new molecular tests to pick up cancers and pre-cancers in the early curable stages; new drugs for prevention of these cancers; and new treatment approaches, with particular emphasis on discovery of new targets for blocking the metastatic spread of these cancers.
Barrett's Esophagus Translational Research Network (BETRNet)
Director, Bioinformatics Core
This five-year award from the National Cancer Institute will support the BETRNet, which consists of multiple centers collaborating to develop an understanding of the basis of Barrett's esophagus and its conversion to esophageal carcinoma. Researchers will also work to determine the role genetics and environmental factors play in the development and progression of these diseases, with the ultimate goal of reducing the mortality associated with this deadly cancer.
Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS)
Scientific Principal Investigator
The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) is a not-for-profit corporation established to provide a resource for descriptive statistical data on all primary brain tumors irrespective of behavior. The CBTRUS database contains the largest aggregation of population–based data on the incidence of all primary brain and central nervous system tumors in the United States. This database has been developed by compiling data from state cancer registries that include information on both malignant and non–malignant primary brain tumors.
Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan with her team works with CBTRUS staff to coordinate data acquisition, develop and manage data sets, and conduct data analyses. She also collaborates on interpreting and disseminating brain and central nervous system tumor data by producing statistical reports and scholarly publications, presentations, responding to data request, and developing grant applications for scientific utilization of the data sets.

Environmental Epidemiology Program
Portland Cement
The Portland Cement Company Wastk Cement Kiln Dust site is 71 acres of land near 1000 South Redwood Road in Salt Lake City. The site is situated in a mixed commercial and industrial area bordered by agricultural land.
Between 1963 and 1983, approximately 500,000 cubic yards of cement kiln dust (CKD) were collected from the Portland Cement Plant in Salt Lake City and deposited as fill material at the site. CKD contains several heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, chromium, and cadmium.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the site on the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) in June 1986
A Public Health Assessment (PHA) was conducted for the smelter site. The PHA was completed in 1989.
- Public Health Assessment
- The PHA evaluated the potential for long-term health impacts in the community.
- Based upon infromation reviewed, ATSDR had concluded that thsi site is of potential health conern becuase of the potential risk to human health resulitng form possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentraiton s that may result in adverse heumna health effects.

In a sidebar highlighting facets of Wynn's quarterly earnings, The Associated Press erroneously reported that customers spent $1.3 billion overall in its Macau casinos during the period. Customers spent $1.3 billion at its slot machines there.
The story also stated that the casino operator didn't offer an adjusted earnings figure. Wynn Resorts Ltd. reported adjusted profit of $1.55 per share, though that sum doesn't exclude a tax benefit that analysts subtracted from their forecasts.

Firefighters from across the state are in Bismarck today, and it's not for an emergency. The firefighters are all leaders of their departments, and they are each taking part in a conference to help them learn new tips for when they are on the job.
Carol Holman has been in the fire service for 19 years, the last two serving with the Minot Rural Fire Department. And she says a lot has changed since she first got started. "A lot more technology, a lot more knowledge being sent our way from the sciences. You know learning different techniques, and ways that we may have done things in the past are not as affective as we thought," says Carol Holman, Minot Rural Fire Department.Which is why she and other leaders in the fire industry are taking time this weekend to learn new skills. "When you're in command, you tend to have blinders and you're kind of focusing on it and a situational awareness issue comes into affect. You need to have a broad view of the situation," says state training director Rob Knuth.The conference also gives the leaders an opportunity to learn what does and doesn't work well in other departments. "I enjoy the networking and just hearing what's going on around the state. Hearing what other people are trying and what's successful in their organizations and maybe we can apply some of those to ours," says Fargo Fire Chief Steve Dirksen. And just like almost every other industry, social media is also starting to play a bigger role in the day to day operations for fire officials. "Nationally there is a big issue. Facebook, Twitter, even just digital pictures are becoming an issue for firefighters and the public," says Knuth. They will hear about the legal issues surrounding social media from a practicing lawyer who once worked as a deputy fire chief.
The conference will continue this weekend and conclude on Sunday.

SPOKANE -- Fire investigators are calling a grass fire that destroyed a shed and an abandoned house suspicious.
Authorities were still looking for a suspect Saturday.
The fire flared up just before 7 p.m. Friday near the intersection of East Buckeye and North Upriver Drive. Smoke could be seen for miles. By the time firefighters arrived on scene, the fire had already burned a lot of grass and destroyed a shed. Then it spread to the house and destroyed it.
Firefighters from Spokane County Fire District 9 quickly called in more help to stop the flames. What made matters worse is that nearby power lines started arcing and sparking smaller grass fires. A few trucks had to leave the main fight to put out those flames.
Firefighters said this is the same place where two people died in a fire back in 2005. It was never rebuilt and was still boarded up which made it dangerous for firefighters to go in.
Neighbors said it was strange seeing this all happen again.
"I just think it's kind of interesting that we're seeing the same house burn again, you know, in less than a decade," said one man.
Firefighters were looking for the owner. They expected to be on scene through Friday night taking care of hot spots to prevent anything flaring up. Upriver Drive was blocked while officials worked on their investigation.

Before two weeks ago, FIU quarterback Jake Medlock hadn't experienced being benched either at the high school or college level. Yanked from a game, yes. But never told early in the practice week he had lost his starting job.
"It's a learning experience," said Medlock, a redshirt junior who once again is the starter as FIU faces Texas-El Paso on Saturday night.
"It made me more mature as a man, in dealing with adversity through life," Medlock said. "I was angry at myself because I haven't been playing well this year, and it's totally my fault. I needed to learn how to evolve myself better. I've made mistakes throughout this entire season."
Medlock pointed to the safety at Southern Mississippi, when a bad snap almost flew out of the end zone. Instead of booting the ball out of the back of the end zone to take the safety, as he said he should have, Medlock picked it up and made a quixotic attempt at a pass. Southern Miss still got the safety and Medlock sustained his second concussion of the season.
Sophomore E.J. Hilliard came in to lead the Panthers to their only win this season. After Medlock went 11 of 26 for 128 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in a 23-7 loss to Louisiana Tech, FIU coach Ron Turner swapped Medlock and Hilliard's spots on the depth chart for the East Carolina game.
In a 34-13 loss to East Carolina and last week's 48-0 loss at Middle Tennessee State, Hilliard was 31 of 46 for 327 yards, two interceptions and no touchdowns. Not helping Hilliard were a fumble by redshirt sophomore Clinton Taylor on his way to the end zone, freshman Silas Spearman fumbling on fourth-and-1 at the Middle Tennessee State 15, and a missed field goal.
FIU coach Ron Turner said even had FIU gotten those 17 points in the first half before the game became a blowout didn't swing his feeling on Hilliard's two games.
"I look at the performance," Turner said. "We've got to play better at that position. ... We knew what we were going to run right from the start. And we had mistakes at that position on those plays. And several during the course of the game. I don't expect anyone to be perfect. But something we script and practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, work on it, still not execute it … there's no excuse for that."
Turner said he told both quarterbacks this week the same thing he told them when he benched Medlock.
"I told both of them this is not a long-term deal," Turner said.
"I'm not saying you have a short leash, anything like that. But everything in life is production."

Risks of Birth Defects
Birth defects are an infrequent but major source of childhood illness. Although many families worry that their infant will have a birth defect, for most the risk is low. Only about 2 percent of babies have a recognizable birth defect; about half of these are caused by known genetic problems. Fortunately, many of these children also have satisfactory outcomes; however, some require special care before, during, and after delivery.
The risk of an infant having a birth defect varies according to the mother's age and the medical history of both parents. Women less than 35 years of age at delivery with no personal or family history of birth defects are at low risk. At your initial prenatal visit, your doctor will evaluate your risk of having a baby with a birth defect. You should also receive information about the available tests for further evaluating your risk. Despite the absence of risk factors, some low-risk women do have babies with birth defects. Prenatal screening tests are used to assess the risk of having an infant with a birth defect in women with low risk. Diagnostic tests help confirm or exclude the presence of birth defects before delivery in women with increased risk.
If a genetic or other problem is present, you and your medical caregivers should discuss your options. These problems can influence how you deliver your baby (C-section), where you deliver (in a hospital with a newborn intensive care unit), and who will be present at delivery (pediatric specialists).
Factors Increasing Your Risk
Your doctor is in the best position to evaluate your risk of having an infant with a birth defect; however, you can estimate your own risk by reviewing the following risk factors:
- Maternal age greater than 35 years at delivery increases the risk of Down syndrome (extra chromosome number 21) and other chromosomal problems in the baby. There is a gradual increase in chromosome problems with increasing age. This increase accelerates after age 35. The age of 35 is used as a cutoff value for more detailed testing. Women over 35 at delivery are usually offered amniocentesis to check for a chromosome problem in the fetus. For example, the risks of having an infant with Down syndrome or other similar chromosomal problem (per 1,000 deliveries) are as shown below.
Maternal Age at Delivery and Risk of Down
Syndrome or Similar Chromosomal Birth Defect
Age (Years)
Chromosomal Birth Defect
>25-29 >2 >30-34 >3 >35 >5 >36 >6 >37 >8 >38 >10 >40 >16 >41 >20 >45 >50
* Data from combined sources.
- Having had a previous fetus with genetic problems or birth defects may increase your risk of having a subsequent infant with a problem. The magnitude of the risk depends on the nature of the previous problem. If a previous fetus had a known genetic disease such as cystic fibrosis, subsequent children have a 25 percent risk (1 out of 4) of also having cystic fibrosis. For other problems, the risk of having a child with a similar problem could be as low as 3 out of 100.
- A family history of genetic problems in you, your spouse, or anyone in your extended family may increase your risk of having an infant with genetic problems.
- Abnormal screening test results suggest that your baby may face a higher risk than expected by age or history. Screening blood tests or ultrasound can identify some of the low-risk women whose fetuses have genetic or other problems. A problem with these tests is they sometimes give falsely positive results; they indicate a high risk for genetic problems even when those problems are not there. This can cause considerable anxiety for expectant parents. Remember that these are risk-assessment tools, not diagnostic tests. Likewise they may not indicate a problem when one does exist. If there is an abnormal screening test, additional testing and counseling are offered to address your concerns.
In situations of increased risk as described above, you should speak with your doctor. She may recommend that you consult with a genetics counselor. These counselors are trained to help you understand the risks of genetic disease. They will be best able to review your situation and determine your risks.
Plainly Speaking
Your risk of having a baby with a birth defect is about 2 percent and depends on your age, medical history, and many other factors. Even if you are at low risk, there are screening tests that you should consider. These tests can help to measure the risk that your baby may have a birth defect. If you are at increased risk, more specific diagnostic tests should be considered. Knowing about serious birth defects before delivery is almost always helpful.

Upcoming in SIGNAL: October 2014
Focus: Cloud Security and Recovery
The cloud is not the future; the cloud is today. Government and industry are accelerating moves to the cloud, and these activities are opening the door to new capabilities. But with all these efforts comes the same peril that plagues earthbound information systems and networks: cyberthreats. The cloud offers its own set of unique security issues, and with increasing reliance on it comes greater urgency to secure vital data. The October SIGNAL Magazine examines the issue of cloud security and recovery with an eye toward both challenges and solutions:
Federal agencies struggle to access cloud information despite Inspector General (IG) Act empowerment.
The FedRAMP process may leave systems vulnerable, especially to an insider threat.
A new security product offers to protect users of the Amazon cloud by providing recommendations as well as overviews.
A commercial business addresses cloud security with solutions to mitigating problems and issues.
Focus: Tactical Technologies
More than a dozen years of warfighting in Southwest Asia have changed the face of tactical operations. Program systems continued to work their way into the force, but wartime exigencies led to new technology insertion activities that sped badly needed innovations to warfighters. Now, with the wars winding down, planners are turning back to methodical programs for equipping forces with the best information technologies available. But those lessons learned in Southwest Asia and the corridors of the Pentagon still are being applied as leaders constantly strive to upgrade tactical communications and electronics systems. SIGNAL Magazine's October issue provides a glimpse of the near future for new tactical technologies in the battlespace:
The U.S. Army is fielding 4G capabilities to its units to improve communications on the battlefield.
Mixing U.S. Air Force ground controllers with Army combat forces on the battlefield has generated new ways of managing joint operations.
The next-generation Tactical Mesh Network developed by the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office increases communications range and fidelity.
The October 2014 issue of
includes more content covering traditional and new areas of interest:
The Defense Department should look to the commercial sector for guidelines on network security in tight budgetary times.
A departmentwide joint service effort will be required to attain the still-elusive joint force digital interoperability.

Points of interest[edit]
Renovo is in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds which comprises twelve and a half counties (Warren, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Forest, Elk, Cameron, Clinton, Lycoming, Clarion, Jefferson, Clearfield and part of Centre) located in North Central Pennsylvania. This landscape contains over two million acres of remote, mountainous, and pristine lands located on state forest lands, state game lands, state park lands and public grounds that offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities. The Wilds has within; twenty-nine state parks (link), eight state forests, and fifty state game lands. It also contains the Allegheny National Forest (802 sq. miles), abundant wildlife, several natural/wild areas, thousands of miles of hiking trails, fishing streams and home of the largest creek in the United States - Pine Creek. This region also contains the largest elk herd in the northeast, stretching as far west as Ridgway and as far east as Renovo.[7]
Below is a compiled list of recreational opportunities within an hours drive of Renovo
Cherry Springs State Park (1 hr., 41 mi.) is a 82-acre state park named after the cherry trees and is popular to amateur stargazers and astronomers. It is said that this area of PA contains some of the darkest night skies in the east. Also, there is an 85 mile DCNR maintained state forest trail known as the STS that passes through this region. In addition, there is a one mile hiking trail, camping areas and this park is home of the Woodsman's Show which is a lumberjack contest.[7]
Little Pine State Park (47 min., 28.8 mi.) consists of 2,158-acres of beautiful mountain sections of the Tiadaghton State Forest located in the Wilds. The main reasoning for this park to be such an attraction is the nesting of the bald eagles, the campgrounds, Little Pine Lake, and the hiking trails. Here at the park you can picnic at two separate places, either the main picnic area or the lower picnic area just half a mile south of the campground. Although picnic pavilions are free to use on a first come, first serve basis, if you would like to reserve a pavilion in advance to your event then it may cost a slight fee. But you can only reserve a pavilion for eleven months. Also in the park you can boat, with electric motors only, hunt or just use the firing range, eight different trails for hiking (Button Ball trail, Carsontown trail, Lake Shore trail, Panther Run trail, Love Run trail, Spikebuck Hollow, Mid State, and Pine Creek Rail trail), and camping. While camping there are flush toilets, warm showers, and many electrical hookups. Now I know you do most of these activities during the spring, summer, and fall, but Little Pine State Park even has some winter activities available. They include cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing on Little Pine Lake. But be careful because the ice thickness of the lake is not monitored so make sure the ice is at least four inches thick before walking upon it.[8]
Kettle Creek State Park (24 min., 15.7 mi.) is a 1,793-acre Pennsylvania state park. It was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the former Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources. The activities that are here are fishing, boating, picnicking, a shooting range, hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and camping. There are winter activities such as snowmobiling, ice fishing, sledding, and cross country skiing.
Ole Bull State Park (42 min., 27 mi.) is a 132-acre Pennsylvania state park along the Kettle Creek Valley in Potter County, Pennsylvania. This area is known as the Black Forest because of the once dense trees covering it, mountainous terrain, and wilderness habitat. Ole Bull State Park is named for Ole Bornemann Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist who toured the United States in the 1850s. It is approximately 27 miles away from the center of Renovo. There are 3 main hiking trails in the state park of Ole Bull. They are: The Daugherty Loop Trail is approximately a one hour walk through the Black Forest of Pennsylvania, that's made up of old logging and railroad grades. Ole Bull Trail leads to the historic foundation remains of Ole Bull's "home site" and a panoramic view of the park area. The Beaver Dam Trail (.75 mi) provides an introduction to the habitats along Kettle Creek. Combined there is about 2 miles of hiking trails in addition to the STS passing through this park. This is an exceptional state park with lots of recreation activities whether you are a tent camper or RV camper.[9]
Benezette Benezette, located in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds, has endless recreational opportunities. These activities include hiking, biking, and camping. Benezette is known for its eye-catching view of Pennsylvania's elk herd. The largest elk herd roams east of the Mississippi River. Benezette is located about 45 miles from Renovo, and is about an hour and a half drive. Benezette also sits along the Elk Scenic Drive, a 127-mile excursion through some of the PA Wilds' most rugged and beautiful country with many stops along the way for wildlife viewing.
The Susquehannock Trail (STS) is a remote 85 mi. loop trail that passes through some of the most remote regions of north central PA, this trail climbs/descents some of the steepest hollows such as: Morgan Hollow & Cardiac Climb. The STS is maintained by the PA DCNR and begins (but can be accesses or started at various points) at Denton Hill State Park, Lyman Run State Park, Cherry Springs State Park, Ole Bull State Park, Cross Fork, PA, Hammersley Wild Area, Prouty Place State Park, Patterson State Park.[10]
Hyner View State Park is 12.06 miles and about 24 minutes from Renovo. At Hyner view you can watch hang gliders or if you want you can go hang gliding in the late spring and summer. In fall it is one of the most spectacular sites you will ever see. Now if you dare to go up the mountain in the winter it is a nice site to see every thing around you is covered in snow but all together Hyner view is a nice ride up and a good place to have a picnic and look at the view. There are even some geocaches hidden up there. There are even trails you can hike up the mountain. [11]
