Have you seen this? It is the fascist blueprint to create a police state and legalize gulags. This is not a spoof. This is Obama's "civilian army's" MOB. According to Obama's DHS, patriots are the real threat to America - read the whole hot mess here. Download Rightwing Extremism Document (hat tip the Rockman)
Translation: There is no threat. Give us time, we'll create one.
— (U//LES) Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
Translation: There is no threat. Give us time, we'll create one.
(U//FOUO) The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.
American sovereignty is a radical position now?
— (U//FOUO) During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth in the number of domestic rightwing terrorist and extremist groups and an increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers, banks, and infrastructure sectors.
Sounds like they are describing Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Obama's great friends and terrorist patriots!~
— (U//FOUO) Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power.
Here they go again, pulling that 15 year old canard out of their ass (while neglecting to point out McVeigh's Middle Eastern connections. [Tom has more on the al qaeda connection too]. Their evidence is one terror attack 15 years ago -- but fail to mention the 13,000 Islamic attacks since 9/11. Got that?
(U//FOUO) The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
Ah, there it is. take their guns away. Jail'em if they disagree.
— (U//FOUO) Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups, as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement. —
Ban? What ban? This is a staging. Fake staging to seize weapons.
(U//FOUO) Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities.
Radicalize the nation's greatest patriots. Are you seeing this? The only radicalization happening on a national/global scale is Islamic jihad. Our vets????
(U) Current Economic and Political Climate
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that a number of economic and political factors are driving a resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization activity. Despite similarities to the climate of the 1990s, the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years. In addition, the historical election of an African American president and the prospect of policy changes are proving to be a driving force for rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization. —
There he goes again. Playing the race card again. Racism was dead in this country. It is Obama's objective to create a divisive schism in this country. The country ain't buying it. We, as a nation, elected him. Racism charge dead.
(U) A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009. The alleged gunman's reaction reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a Jewish-controlled "one world government."
One friggin nut and they will try to change the constitution. Thousands of Islamic attacks, honor killings, clitorectomies, shariah law, child marriage, child slavery, human slavery, lashings -- deduce nothing! And should you mention any of these things -- you are a racist and Islamophobe.
As a Jew, this nut does not worry me. There will always be nuts - exceptions make bad law.
Where does this report address the thousands of acts of lone jihad syndrome, here and abroad? Suicide or otherwise?
(U) Exploiting Economic Downturn
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish "financial elites." These "accusatory" tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen.
They are using the Jews. Most if not all of the recent spate of anti-semitic attacks here and abroad were committed by Muslims. FACT.
(U//FOUO) Perceptions on Poverty and Radicalization
(U//FOUO) Scholars and experts disagree over poverty's role in motivating violent radicalization or terrorist activity. High unemployment, however, has the potential to lead to alienation, thus increasing an individual's susceptibility to extremist ideas. According to a 2007 study from the German Institute for Economic Research, there appears to be a strong association between a parent's unemployment status and the formation of rightwing extremist beliefs in their children—specifically xenophobia and antidemocratic ideals. ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers. —
Translation: Anyone who believes in immigration control and reform is an extremist. This is the club to the head of any resistance to shamnesty.
The German Institute? WTF? Who the hell are they and why should we care?
(U//LES) Most statements by rightwing extremists have been rhetorical, expressing concerns about the election of the first African American president, but stopping short of calls for violent action. In two instances in the run-up to the election, extremists appeared to be in the early planning stages of some threatening activity targeting the Democratic nominee, but law enforcement interceded.
Never happened. Look at history. Recent assassination attempts have been by leftopaths (Squeaky), commies (Oswald) and nuts (Hinckley).
(U) Revisiting the 1990s
(U//FOUO) Paralleling the current national climate, rightwing extremists during the 1990s exploited a variety of social issues and political themes to increase group visibility and recruit new members. Prominent among these themes were the militia movement's opposition to gun control efforts, criticism of free trade agreements (particularly those with Mexico), and highlighting perceived government infringement on civil liberties as well as white supremacists' longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion, inter-racial crimes, and same-sex marriage.
Abortion, gay marriage and racism -- the inane drone of the left. I have been to these rallies and let me tell you - the proponents of gay marriage, abortion and "racism canards" are the violent ones. Every time.
(U) Economic Hardship and Extremism
(U//FOUO) Historically, domestic rightwing extremists have feared, predicted, and anticipated a cataclysmic economic collapse in the United States. Prominent antigovernment conspiracy theorists have incorporated aspects of an impending economic collapse to intensify fear and paranoia among like-minded individuals and to attract recruits during times of economic uncertainty. Conspiracy theories involving declarations of martial law, impending civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution, and the creation of citizen detention camps often incorporate aspects of a failed economy. Antigovernment conspiracy theories and "end times" prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement
Obama has set about to bankrupt this nation with a nine trillion rip off of the national treasury. The bankrupting of the hardworking to pay off his thug political machine and his thug army. Any great American (think tea parties) who dissents will be targeted.
Page 5 of 9 (U) Illegal Immigration
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremists were concerned during the 1990s with the perception that illegal immigrants were taking away American jobs through their willingness to work at significantly lower wages. They also opposed free trade agreements, arguing that these arrangements resulted in Americans losing jobs to countries such as Mexico.
(U//FOUO) Over the past five years, various rightwing extremists, including militias and white supremacists, have adopted the immigration issue as a call to action, rallying point, and recruiting tool. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.
Obama wants shamnesty. Obama wants to open up the flood gates, have ACORN register them to vote - overwhelm the electorate with entitlement voters. The end the will of the American people - the end of fair elections.
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremist groups' frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence. If such violence were to occur, it likely would be isolated, small-scale, and directed at specific immigration-related targets. —
Check out the word "perceived" - the fact that the government is doing nothing is beside the point, right? The reference "directed at specific immigration-related targets" refers to Binghamton -- and my sources tell me, Binghamton was not a lone gunman -- was not a guy who was pissed because he lost his job. My sources tell me there were supposed to me more. It was retaliation in that Muslim enclave.
Page 6 of 9 — (U//FOUO) On the current front, legislation has been proposed this year requiring mandatory registration of all firearms in the United States. Similar legislation was introduced in 2008 in several states proposing mandatory tagging and registration of ammunition. It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists.
Gun control. Period.
(U) Perceived Threat from Rise of Other Countries
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist paranoia of foreign regimes could escalate or be magnified in the event of an economic crisis or military confrontation, harkening back to the "New World Order" conspiracy theories of the 1990s. The dissolution of Communist countries in Eastern Europe and the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s led some rightwing extremists to believe that a "New World Order" would bring about a world government that would usurp the sovereignty of the United States and its Constitution, thus infringing upon their liberty. The dynamics in 2009 are somewhat similar, as other countries, including China, India, and Russia, as well as some smaller, oil-producing states, are experiencing a rise in economic power and influence. —
Soros got his ............
(U//FOUO) Lone Wolves and Small Terrorist Cells
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent rightwing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States. Information from law enforcement and nongovernmental organizations indicates lone wolves and small terrorist cells have shown intent—and, in some cases, the capability—to commit violent acts. —
"Lone wolves and "terror cells" embracing rightwing ideology are the most "dangerous domestic terrorism threat to the United States"?
This document poses the most dangerous threat to these great United States.
(U//LES) DHS/I&A has concluded that white supremacist lone wolves pose the most significant domestic terrorist threat because of their low profile and autonomy—separate from any formalized group—which hampers warning efforts. —
(U//FOUO) Similarly, recent state and municipal law enforcement reporting has warned of the dangers of rightwing extremists embracing the tactics of "leaderless resistance" and of lone wolves carrying out acts of violence. —
(U//FOUO) Arrests in the past several years of radical militia members in Alabama, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania on firearms, explosives, and other related violations indicates the emergence of small, well-armed extremist groups in some rural areas. ordnance that they planned to use in attacks on nearby military and federal facilities and infrastructure targets. —
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist views bemoan the decline of U.S. stature and have recently focused on themes such as the loss of U.S. manufacturing capability to China and India, Russia's control of energy resources and use of these to pressure other countries, and China's investment in U.S. real estate and corporations as a part of subversion strategy.
Rightwing extremist views bemoan the decline of U.S. stature? LIE. Obama fallaciously preaches about the decline of US stature us right wing Patriots know better.
Obama and his minions cannot demoralize Americans who love this country. Not possible. His Alinsky rules for radicals will not work on thinking, rational men and women.
(U) Disgruntled Military Veterans
The only disgruntled military are the ones that were forced to applaud the traitor in the White House.
(U) After Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991, some returning military veterans—including Timothy McVeigh—joined or associated with rightwing extremist groups. —
He hates the military.
(U//FOUO) Unlike the earlier period, the advent of the Internet and other informationage technologies since the 1990s has given domestic extremists greater access to information related to bomb-making, weapons training, and tactics, as well as targeting of individuals, organizations, and facilities, potentially making extremist individuals and groups more dangerous and the consequences of their violence more severe. New technologies also permit domestic extremists to send and receive encrypted communications and to network with other extremists throughout the country and abroad, making it much more difficult for law enforcement to deter, prevent, or preempt a violent extremist attack.
(U//FOUO) A number of law enforcement actions and external factors were effective in limiting the militia movement during the 1990s and could be utilized in today's climate. —
(U//FOUO) Following the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, the militia movement declined in total membership and in the number of organized groups because many members distanced themselves from the movement as a result of the intense scrutiny militias received after the bombing. —
They have one bombing -- one (with Middle Eastern connections that were suppressed) - and this is the basis of their takeover and coup on the Constitution.
Free men are under siege. Read this document - Department of [undermining] Homeland Security.
(U//FOUO) Militia membership continued to decline after the turn of the millennium as a result of law enforcement disruptions of multiple terrorist plots linked to violent rightwing extremists, new legislation banning paramilitary training, and militia frustration that the "revolution" never materialized. —
(U//FOUO) Although the U.S. economy experienced a significant recovery and many perceived a concomitant rise in U.S. standing in the world, white supremacist groups continued to experience slight growth.
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in rightwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization.
UPDATE: The war against teh American People has Begun Liberty Boys

When Lori Dahl's 7-year-old son, Jack, was diagnosed with autism at 2 1/2 years old, she wasn't sure where to begin. Jack needed then - and still requires - lots of help to improve his communication, his social skills and his ability to care for himself. But the resources in the north shore area were scarce.
"When you just get a diagnosis, there is no clear road map because no two children with autism are alike," Dahl said.
Now, a north shore organization, formerly under the umbrella of Northshore Families Helping Families, is branching out on its own to better serve autism patients and their families.
Strengthening Outcomes with Autism Resources, or SOAR, was founded in the summer of 2010 by five graduates - all mothers of autistic children - of the Partners in Policy Making class, which is an initiative of the Louisiana Disabilities Council.
Because of the growing numbers of autism diagnoses and continuing need for resources, SOAR took steps last summer to become its own nonprofit. Currently, it provides monthly support groups, but the group leaders have a vision of opening an autism center, a one-stop shop where families can learn about available resources, find support and learn about state services to help autistic children into adulthood.
"I would like for SOAR to be able to help the whole family, not just the person with autism. SOAR would like to provide the resources needed from the diagnosis through the lifespan of the entire family," said Sherri Houin, the organization's president.
"We need families to know that they are not alone on this journey," she added. "We want to provide them with the support they need and the most current resources available."
Autism affects each child differently, so the medical services they require can vary widely. Some, like Dahl's son, see several therapists each week, in areas such as speech and occupational therapy. Most important of all is getting Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy to improve life and social interactions. But there are few of those specialists, and their services can be extremely expensive. For example, said Dahl, the services of a board certified behavior analyst, who might be the only one in the area, can cost $175 an hour.
Parents sometimes travel to providers in Hammond and New Orleans, and often find themselves in negotiation with health insurance companies regarding coverage of ABA and other therapies. Although Louisiana has a law that requires coverage for ABA, there are provisions in the legislation that exclude some companies and businesses from having to offer the coverage, Dahl said.
SOAR's monthly support group meetings give families a place to talk about these challenges.
"It's very difficult to find services, although they've gotten better since my son was diagnosed," Dahl said. "It's overwhelming. A support group where you can talk is important because if you isolate yourself, you're going to go crazy."
SOAR is in the process of applying for federal recognition as a nonprofit and hopes to have it finalized by the time the group holds its third annual Autism Walk and Family Fun Day. The event will take place April 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kids Konnection playground on Koop Drive in Mandeville. Registration for the walk opens Feb. 1, and more information can be found of SOAR's website.
For information, visit www.soarwithautism.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com. SOAR hosts the following monthly meetings:
- St Tammany Evening Dietary meeting: 7-9 p.m., first Tuesday of every month in the Abita Room, St Tammany Parish Hospital, 1202 South Tyler St., Covington
- Slidell Morning ASD Support meetings, 9-11 a.m., the third Wednesday of every month, second floor classroom, Slidell Memorial Hospital Parenting Center, SMH Wellness Pavillion, 501 Robert Blvd., Slidell
- St. Tammany Morning ASD Network Meeting, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., the second Wednesday of every month, Live Oak Behavioral Psychology, #270, 56 Louis Prima Drive, Covington
- 4. Tangipahoa Morning ASD Support Meetings, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., the fourth Thursday of every month, Crossroads Church, 1006 North Oak St, Hammond,

Bowersox, Yetter round out college baseball start
LEWISTOWN – Two baseball players from the area not included in a story published Tuesday also are beginning their college seasons.
Both players – Seth Bowersox and Zach Yetter – play for Penn College, which is part of the Penn State University campus organization.
The two players now give the area 18 players, who are now playing college or professional baseball from the four-county area.

Coach Rex Ryan left little doubt he was thrilled to welcome back outside linebacker Calvin Pace this week.
"I wasn't going to kiss him on the lips," Ryan said. "But I thought about it."
Pace returned to the team Monday after serving a four-week suspension for violating the league's policy on banned performance enhancing substances.
"I've never been so happy to see 58 guys in my life," Pace said.
Pace, the team's best pass rusher last season, joins a unit that has created havoc through the first four games. The seventh-year pro gives Ryan another weapon for a group that held the Saints' high-powered offense to just 10 points. The Jets defense has given up just 36 points (three touchdowns and five field goals) this season.
Ryan said that he won't restrict Pace in any way.
"Monday can't come quick enough," Pace said. "I take pride in not taking plays off and not coming off the field. But they're going to have to drag me off now."
Ryan hinted that perhaps quarterback Mark Sanchez called audibles on the pair of third-and-1 scenarios in the third quarter. Ryan said Sanchez often has a run-pass option and freedom to change the call and check it to a pass. On both plays, Sanchez threw incomplete passes to Chansi Stuckey.
"In that situation, maybe we should have just said forget it (and) let's just stay with the run call," Ryan said. "But again, we're always going to be aggressive. Our play-calling is never an issue because we've got outstanding coaches that do a great job."
Ryan didn't revive the verbal warfare he had with Dolphins' linebacker Channing Crowder this summer. Crowder had crowned Ryan as the "OTA Super Bowl winner" before Ryan said he'd "walked over tougher guys going to a fight than Channing Crowder."
"I hope he's thinking about me," Ryan said Monday with a laugh. "I haven't had one thought about that. I guess I'm kind of licking my wounds from this New Orleans deal. But maybe I'll respond later in the week."
Ryan said he was "hopeful" that cornerbacks Lito Sheppard (quad) and Donald Strickland (ankle) will be back after both missed the past two games.
Ryan expects rookie RB Shonn Greene will be fine after tweaking his ankle. Greene, who had four carries for 23 yards, jump-started the ground attack in the third quarter.
Ryan didn't have a definitive explanation why Sanchez dove at Jonathan Vilma's legs during Darren Sharper's 99-yard interception return for a touchdown. It was the second time the rookie took a questionable shot at a defender after throwing a pick. He went low on a Texans defensive player after throwing an INT in the season opener, too.
The Jets will face the Dolphins' top-rated rush offense (183.5 yards per game, 5.0 yards per carry) Monday night. Ryan said much of Miami's success has come against defenses with traditional 4-3 fronts.

Update: Fire that killed Syracuse woman gave very little warning before erupting, neighbor says
Syracuse, NY - The Syracuse Fire Department has released the names of the five firefighters injured while fighting a house fire this morning on Clairmonte Avenue.
All were treated and released from Upstate University Hospital, said Lt. John Cussen.
They are:
- Lt. John Kresser, 1st degree burns to his face and left forearm
- Todd Wilber, 2nd degree burns to his left arm
- Thomas Sexton, 1st degree burns to his right ear
- Thomas Reidy, 1st degree burns to his wrists
- Christopher Janus, fractured right ring finger.
Sexton is the son of retired firefighter Tom Sexton, who is thinking about running as a Republican against Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. Sexton was also burned during his career as a firefighter.
The fire happened at 4 a.m. at 354-56 Clairmonte Avenue, a two-family home near the intersection with Crossett Street and the entrance to Upper Onondaga Park. A neighbor said the home was a rental.
The firefighters were burned within about 10 minutes of entering the house, he said.
Cussen said they followed the usual attack plan, but the heat was immense.
Janus was hurt while he looked for the victim.
"When there's a fire, we send two attack lines to the floor of the fire," Cussen said. "This happened to be on the second floor and the firefighters that were up there at the time encountered heavy heat and heavy fire on that second floor. When you're in a small spot like that, the heat can build up very quickly."
One person died in the fire, but police and firefighters have not released a name or any identifying information about the victim. The medical examiner will do an autopsy Monday morning.
Cussen said it appears the fire was an accident.
He said the three first-floor tenants were not home.
The fire was first reported by a neighbor.

A Little Ice Tonight?February 25th, 2014 at 4:32 pm by Mark Ronchetti under Weather
A cold front plowing through eastern NM will make for an interesting evening east of our central mountains. Temps are already sharply colder in places like Tucumcari and Clovis. Throughout the night a little moisture behind the front will lead to a spot snow shower along the eastern slopes of the northern and eat mtns. However, the better chance for measurable precip will be over east central and se NM. Whatever falls will melt quickly on Wednesday.
Our next system will pass north on Thursday. This storm will deliver some light to moderate snow over the northern high terrain. The rest of us will get a big fat dose of wind. Friday will serve as a in between storms type of day. Then Saturday and Sunday a stronger storm rolls in. This system looks like a good valley rain maker and a good mountain snow maker.

Old National Bank is headquartered in Evansville and is the largest bank in the state of Indiana. It is also the 94th largest bank in the nation. It was established in 1907 and as of June of 2016, it had grown to 2,691 employees at 219 locations. Old National Bank has an A health rating.

Old National Bank is a great bank. The workers are very nice and helpful. They are always willing to help if you have a problem. Their fees on checking accounts are very low and manageable. I have not had one problem with Old National bank and I have been using them for 8 years.
The things people complain about can usually be easily avoided in my opinion. If you use a good old fashioned check register, know the bank's policies (when your deposit will be available, whether or not you agree with it, the policy is in place regardless), then you should be able to keep track of your balancing, thus not spending money you don't have, thus not getting overdraft fees. You can't solely rely on at ATM receipts or online banking to keep track of your balance...unfortunately these methods don't know which checks your have written that are outstanding or even some payments that you initiated that haven't posted to the account yet. Until checking accounts can obtain psychic powers, the only fool-proof method of not overdrawing is to know the policies, keep a register and don't spend money that isn't in your account. As for overdraft fees, from my understanding they post high to low, which can be to the benefit of the customer if they are negative because the most expensive thing (ex:mortgage) is deemed the most important, therefore, it is least likely to get returned. This is just my opinion, take it or leave it.
I opened my first account with ONB 10 years ago when I was in college. I had no issues with them for several years. Over the years I even had two auto loans and a student loan with them with no issues. Over the past two years the customer service just gets worse and worse. I totally understand why so many of my favorite employees there have moved on. The current employees are rude and get agitated anytime you ask a basic question. I should NOT have to wait for tellers to put down their cell phone before helping me. Even the corporate call center acts like it's some sort of act of God to answer a simple question. This bank has grown very quickly, and they are so focused on acquiring smaller banking chains that they have completely forgotten who built them. They have gone the way of other massive financial institutions in this country- they don't care about customers, they care about becoming larger than life and making more cash.
I love Old National Bank. It has a very homey feel. When you arrive there are chairs to sit in while you do your banking business with your teller. No standing at a window. They have coffee and doughnuts to welcome you. You are treated as a person and not a number. I use the online banking several times a week. As well as the bill pay option. I find it very easy to use and have never had any problems whatsoever.

A fire that authorities believe started in a garbage can next to a multi-family home in Secaucus has displaced three families, town fire officials said.Schoch said that a Department of Public Works employee was passing the home at 10:20 a.m. and saw smoke coming from a garbage can and notified authorities.
The fire, on 4th Street between Centre Avenue and Front Street, started just after 10 a.m. Saturday, was contained to the stairwells of the home, Secaucus Fire Department Deputy Chief Bryan Schoch said. The building's structure wasn't jeopardized and the rest of the dwellings suffered smoke damage, Schoch said.
There were no injuries to residents or firefighters in the blaze, which was under control in 30 minutes.
"The occupants were still at home and they didn't smell anything," Schoch said, noting that the fire began at the front corner of the building and made its way inside the building. The families were relocated to the Empire Hotel on the Meadowlands Parkway.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, Schoch said.

The pitch
I got caught up late one night. HSN barker Cory Bergeron gesticulated wildly, more amped than a power line 10 seconds before a brownout, delivering a rapid-fire pitch: "When (mosquitoes) smell carbon dioxide - that's like a homing device. They come right at you." The wristband, he said, "completely masks your entire body in a cocoon of protection." In less than five minutes, more than 2,000 viewers shelled out nearly $19.95 each for a 12-pack of colorful Viatek Mosquito Shield Bands, and the product was sold out.
Still wanting to know if such bands worked, I found a similar product to try: the BugBand, sold at REI for $5 (offered in green or glow-in-the-dark).
The test
I strapped on two bands (one on my ankle, the other on my wrist) and shared a third with my neighbor Julia, who in the past has been a particular target of the bloodsuckers. . We waited for dusk.
Less than 10 minutes into sundown, Julia was heading indoors with too many welts to count on her shoulders, arms and chest.
HSN buyers had better luck; "I watched a confused mosquito hover three feet from me and never land. Thanks!" but although the Viatek Mosquito Shield garnered 3.7 out of 5 stars with the TV crowd, lots of viewers said: "These DO NOT work."
On the REI site, three users averaged a 3.5 out of five. Two said it worked; one did not.
The details
The smell of the wristband close up is nauseating - but it beats the smell of synthetic-chemical sprays. BugBand's active ingredient is geraniol, derived from geraniums (Pelargonium); Viatek contains peppermint, pine and lavender.
Although I had better results with a band on my ankle and my wrist, I still got bitten once.
The verdict
These products are too expensive when we already have proven winners. For instance, if you want to pull out the big guns for adults, Jungle Juice at REI (98 percent DEET, lasts 10 hours) requires only six drops per application and costs $7 a bottle. If DEET, picaridin and permethrin give you the chemical willies, pick up some oil of lemon eucalyptus (often listed as PMD on labels) for kids and adults. The Centers for Disease Control says it "provided protection similar to repellents with low concentrations of DEET."
Most summers, mosquitoes are merely persistent pests leaving miserable, itchy welts. This year, however, experts say the risk of disease just went up a notch when adult rock-pool mosquitoes (Ochlerotatus japonicus), first seen in Portland five years ago, were found to have spread around Multnomah County. This mosquito is a killer, and a known carrier of dengue fever, West Nile virus and encephalitis. No matter where you live, the Red Cross says "mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other living creature."
Light colors are less attractive to mosquitoes, so people wearing dark clothes are targeted for bites more often.
Mosquitoes are lured by scent, sight and heat: They follow the carbon dioxide in our breath and sweat scent upwind.
They can't see you until they're 30 feet away and still don't know if you're a tree stump or lunch until ultra-sensitive heat detectors feel your warmth.
Mosquitoes live their entire life span (about three months) within a mile of where they were born.

More teachers for blind and visually impaired students soon could begin filling voids in K-12 classrooms across Ohio because of an effort under way at the University of Toledo.
A professor at UT who heads the school's vision program - one of only two in the state - has been awarded a nearly $200,000 state grant to start recruiting and training 13 vision intervention specialists during the next year.
As part of the grant, the students will receive free tuition and stipends as well as assistance in seeking jobs.
In turn, they must agree to teach in Ohio for two years or forfeit any funding they received.
UT and Ohio State University were awarded the grants yesterday by the State Superintendent's Task Force for Preparing Special Education Personnel.
Thomas Stephens, executive director of the task force, said efforts at the two universities are needed to help increase the number of vision intervention teachers in state schools.
He said the programs should be able to produce a "steady supply" of teachers to offset further, anticipated teacher shortages.
The state has 1,375 blind and visually impaired students in 420 schools but only 60 certified teachers, according to J.C. Benton, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Education.
He added that of those 60 teachers, about half are nearing retirement.
Professor Sakui Malakpa, coordinator of the vision program in UT's Department of Early Childhood, Physical, and Special Education, said yesterday that he plans to work closely with Bowling Green State University on the project. Instruction will include summer and online courses.
Mr. Malakpa said he's still seeking students who are interested in enrolling in the program.
Before the grant announcement, Mr. Malakpa had a dozen students in the vision program. The grant will double that number.
Because of the vision teacher shortage and fact that only about 30 such programs exist at universities across the nation, Mr. Malakpa said he's confident students will be able to land jobs.
"It's just a wonderful area," said Mr. Malakpa, who is blind and serves as chairman of the Toledo Sight Center board.
"I want people to understand that if you're willing to move around the country, I can guarantee you a job. There's a shortage everywhere."

ORLANDO -- Les Miles' perfect bowl record as LSU coach ended in a muddy mess.
The 13th-ranked Tigers flopped on a rain-soaked field, falling 19-17 to No. 11 Penn State in the Capital One Bowl on Friday after another clock-management blunder.
They dropped passes and would-be interceptions. They put hardly any pressure on the quarterback and the Tigers' offense had little traction on a field full of patches and puddles.
"This is not the way I wanted to end my career at LSU," senior receiver Brandon LaFell said. "There was no fun about this."
All the things the Tigers had done so well in their first four bowl under Miles washed away.
Perhaps no missed opportunity stood out more than when a tipped pass popped up and into the hands of receiver Rueben Randle, only to roll off his fingertips with nothing but a wide-open field in front of him.
He could only put his head down, unclip his helmet and throw his hands in the air as if he didn't know what happened.
"I just figured we'd end up getting some of those," Miles said. "Those drops happen, certainly on a wet field. So that's not something we enjoy."
The worst mistake might have come on LSU's final possession.
Starting at its 41 with 48 seconds remaining and no timeouts, LSU let too much time tick away. The second play from scrimmage netted only 4 yards -- a screen over the middle to LaFell -- that cost the Tigers precious seconds.
It was reminiscent of LSU's loss to Mississippi, when wasted time on the Tigers' final drive proved costly.
A 15-yard penalty for a late hit by guard Lyle Hitt before the next play pushed LSU out of Penn State territory and all but sealed their hopes of a come back. LaFell said Hitt was trying to get linebacker Navorro Bowman off him.
"I was like, 'Ref, ref. Look.' He told the defender to get off him then threw the flag on us," LaFell said. "It's kind of like, 'How could you do that to us after you just told him to get off him?' It don't make no sense."
Bowman agreed.
"He didn't deserve that penalty," Bowman said. "It was because of what I was doing. My reasoning for what I was doing wasn't a positive. It wasn't a good thing. It was to help my team win."
The Tigers lost their four biggest games of the season-- to Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Penn State. A nine-win season probably never felt more disappointing to LSU fans.
The Tigers rallied in the second half against Penn State to take the lead.
LaFell had a 24-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter, and then a 39-yard reception by Terrance Toliver not even 3 minutes later setup another score to give LSU a 17-16 lead.
It wouldn't last.
The Nittany Lions followed that with a 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with the winning 21-yard field goal by Collin Wagner. The Tigers desperately tried to lateral the ball on their final offensive play, only to miss the catches and get planted in the sloppy turf.
"Worst field I've ever played on in my life," cornerback Patrick Peterson said.
Miles defended his strategy and lamented the officials for the penalty.
"I don't know that helping a guy off the ground could really be considered a discipline problem," he said. "Had he punched him, certainly, I probably would have come unglued. But I sit there and I watch it and I'm going, 'What's he going to call?' He's helping the guy off the ground. I mean, what's he going to call?"

"Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away" is a 3-D catalog of the wonders of the Cirque company's Las Vegas shows, from "Believe" and "Mystere" to "O" and "Viva Elvis." It is a feast for the eyes, an appreciation of the accomplished art of the jugglers, tumblers, mimes, contortionists, acrobats and aerialists that have made Cirque a brand name for family-friendly wonders, even in Sin City.
"Chronicles of Narnia" director Andrew Adamson has written a connecting tale to take us through the tents that hold these Vegas "Worlds." A gamine (Erica Linz) stumbles into a visiting circus in her town, tumbles for the handsome aerialist (Igor Zaripov) and when he -- distracted -- falls from the heights, she is sucked into the same sandy vortex that opens in the floor of the Circus Marvelous tent that swallows him.
In the alternate reality beneath the sand, Mia, the gamine, wanders into tents of amazement -- dazzling water ballets and aerial spectacles, trampoline acts set to the music of Elvis, a stunning visualization of "Octopus's Garden" by the Beatles, moments of menace and mime and magic.
And always, just out of sight and out of reach, the aerialist is tugged into other worlds, other places to display his prowess. Unseen forces keep the couple apart.
It's all quite lovely, mesmerizing -- and right on the edge of sleep-inducing.

Streamlining security to facilitate car service on the Staten Island Ferry is not one of the concerns on the Department of Homeland Security radar -- so don't expect it to come back any time soon.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who spoke with reporters at the Whitehall Terminal in Lower Manhattan after a meeting with counter terrorism experts and law enforcement officials today, said she was not aware of the issues that has kept cars off the ferries since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 - or how to resolve them.
"I don't know the answer to that question, it's not something that has made its way to my desk," Ms. Napolitano said. "I can understand the interest in it and it's obviously something we can look into. But it certainly has not been one of the many issues I've already had to address."
The Coast Guard, which is under the auspices of Homeland Security, has the ultimate say about security along the shorelines and waterways. But city Department of Transportation (DOT) runs the ferry services.
DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan made it clear that if Islanders want to drive to Manhattan, they are going to have to continue to go through Brooklyn.
"We've already weighed in on it. We've got security issues associated with it. We're looking at maintaining on-time performance on the ferries. We're carrying 19 million passengers (a year), we need to get them there quickly and efficiently and effectively. So, we're maintaining the same protocol that we've always had," said Ms. Sadik-Khan, who was also at the press event today.
Other municipal ferry systems across the country also suspended car service in the months following the attacks, but have since found ways to restore it while meeting Coast Guard security regulations. In the Seattle area - where Ms. Napolitano just visited to discuss homeland security issues - bomb-sniffing dogs and cops randomly search cars in the holding lanes before they come aboard the boats.

1) You know how in musicals, people randomly break out into song in the middle of a street or crowded area, and everyone aroudn them picks up the song and knows the dance perfectly? Before I die, I want to randomly break out into song in public and see how many people pick it up. They may throw me in a mental institution for this, but it would be fun.
2) I want to work on a cruise ship. Their staff get great benefits, like a personal movie theatre and parties just for the staff!
3) I want to work at the Shepherd of the Hills theatre.
4) My friend and I have vowed to try every single Tropical Sno flavor before we die.

Ten people, including four children, escaped injury Sunday night in LaPlace when St. John the Baptist Parish authorities say someone fired multiple gunshots into their apartments without any warning.
"They said they just heard gunfire," Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Dane Clement said. "There was no confrontation, no exchange of communication or anything."In less than a two-hour span, Sheriff's deputies say shots were fired into two duplexes on Revere Drive and Fife Lane, which are located blocks apart in LaPlace. Authorities don't know whether the shootings are related and are asking the public's help with any information.
Bullet casings found at the scene are being tested to determine whether they were fired from the same weapon, said Capt. Will Stelly. He said the front of both buildings were sprayed with bullets that hit interior walls, a bed, filing cabinets and a refrigerator.
It was "by pure luck that no one was struck," Stelly said.
The first incident was reported at 7:41 p.m. in the 800 block of Revere Drive in the Cambridge subdivision. Authorities say "projectiles riddled" the exterior and interior of two apartments. A 60-year-old woman was alone in one apartment and an 18-year-old woman, an infant and a 21-year-old man were in the other apartment, authorities say.
The second incident was reported at 9:24 p.m. in the 500 block of Fife Lane with similar findings - apartments in a duplex damaged by gunfire. A 60-year-old woman was in one apartment and a 26-year-old woman with her three children, ages 2, 5, and 11, and her 24-year-old boyfriend were in the other apartment.
Investigators ask that anyone with information regarding these incidents to call the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division at 985.359.8769, the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office TIPS line at 985.359.7477, or Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111.

JACKSON Frank Schremser (VOP, Oct. 5) should take off his blinders. Yes, President Bush knew that Freddie and Fannie were going to crash. That is why he tried many times to reform them, always being blocked by the Democratic congressional majority.
McCain sponsored a bill in 2005 to reform them. That also was blocked, strangely enough by those persons who were getting megabucks from Fannie and Freddie.
Fannie and Freddie were an experiment in social engineering that failed. The Clinton administration set things up so the U.S. could provide housing for everyone, regardless of income. Very nice, but hardly the government's job. Read the Constitution, which is really quite simple to understand. It would behoove the Citizen Patriot to print it occasionally (or even daily!) for those who don't have library or computer access.
Bush did have a failure of leadership on this. He should have followed Reagan's lead and taken it to the American people, instead of keeping it all behind closed doors. I guess he did not want to start a panic.
I suggest that Mr. Schremser first read the Constitution and then search public records for the truth of what has transpired. I would say to him and others like him: Don't be a lazy citizen who sits in your armchair and is spoon-fed garbage.

"He's probably going to be getting stitched up," a responding officer said.
The incident was reported about 11:55 a.m.
A detective unit was dispatched to the hospital to investigate and take photos of the victim's injuries, the extent of which weren't immediately known.
Anyone with information about the stabbing is asked to call the Springfield Police Detective Bureau at (413) 787-6355.

School lunch or sack lunch
Does your child eat school lunch or sack lunch?
My kids are 13 and 7 and I am thinking of making sack lunches more often for my DS,7. I know he is a picky eater, but sometimes enjoys the school lunch. I wish they would stick to the menu so that I could plan to make lunches on the days that he does not like what's being served.
My kids eat lunch at a 90/10 sack/school lunch ratio. I only allow them to eat at school once a week, because the school in this district don't have a strong lunch program and it's expensive.
My son has so many food allergies, that they could write a book just listing them :/. That being said, I can't go to the school on a daily basis and inspect each food item to ensure its safe, so I just send him a sack lunch. Much easier that way :).
But, I know that my school sends home a lunch menu every month. You may want to talk to the school to see if they have such a lunch menu (might be held online). I haven't paid attention to mine about if they change lunches, but I know some schools do announce when lunch plans change online too.
Good luck!

A state court has ordered the Trinity Medical Center U.S. 280 case sent back to an administrative law judge, allowing opponents of Trinity's plan to move to the unfinished HealthSouth hospital to conduct more discovery and cross-examine witnesses.
Circuit Judge Jimmy Pool this afternoon ordered the case remanded to the State Health Planning and Development Agency. The case will be returned to the administrative law judge who previously recommended that Trinity be allowed to vacate its current campus and move to the site on U.S. 280.
Brookwood Health Services and St. Vincent's Health System had argued that they should be allowed to conduct discovery regarding documents related to Trinity's original plan to build a hospital in Irondale, and regarding Trinity's negotiation to acquire the U.S. 280 property.

The NBA is unlike other professional sports. It boasts dominant teams at the top that 95 percent of the time will not be knocked out the playoffs early by an average, "barely got in" team. Will the defending champions hold on to the crown? Will the hated Heat overcome the odds? Or will an unknown rise above the rest?
Those questions will play themselves out on the hardwood and will be answered. Until that time, it is pure speculation for the millions and millions of NBA fans. But, it is interesting to look at the starting five that each team starts to get an idea who has that talent to make a run.

"I got the upgraded thick paper and rounded edges. Great paper quality and design. Tiny Prints mailed the invitations as well. They exceeded my expectations in every aspect! Guests received invitations 5 days earlier than promised by TP. Thanks!"
"Very nice generally and I'm happy with the result: my only complaint is that the tinyprints software isn't very versatile. I needed an enclosure card, rather than an RSVP card, and there was no way to do it 'my way' : design elements specific to an RSVP were fixed, and I had to talk to a designer to get what I wanted. BUT the designer was smart, knowledgeable, and friendly--knew exactly what I meant and fixed it up right away."
"This card is colorful, fun and was the perfect selection for my son's Bar Mitzvah. We printed the reception information on the back of the card with a green background. We received many compliments as everything thought it was so beautiful and youthful looking. The paper quality was excellent without upgrading."
"Very happy with this product. I was initially concerned with paper quality with ordering over the internet since I could not view in person. However, paper quality was great, colors were vibrant, print well done. In person, looked exactly like image show on screen. Would order through this company again."
"The invite lets you put in your own wording, do formatting, and lets you know if it will fit or not. This is very cool feature. The ability to use the picture in invite also adds a special touch. Great design and quality!!!"

Ritacco hasn't been charged with any crime. But I already believe he's guilty — of being a self-inflating windbag, that is.
In the early part of this decade, Ritacco persuaded the school board to build a giant auditorium complex. At the grand opening of the Michael J. Ritacco Center, the puppeteer pretended to be surprised that the puppets had named the building after him. According to the Asbury Park Press account of the ceremony, Ritacco's old college roommate then took the microphone to add to the praise being lavished on Ritacco.
"Your fingerprints are all over this building," Ritacco's ex-roomie said.
Those fingerprints are presumably all over a lot of other things as well, many now in the possession of the FBI. But long before this scandal broke, I found it disturbing that members of the school board in my old home town had adopted a practice I had always associated with corrupt political machines.
The first time I encountered this phenomenon was back in the early 1970s when I visited Chicago. Every other park or health clinic seemed to be named after Mayor Richard J. Daley. It struck me as unfair that Daley could use public money to promote his own political career. However I assumed the practice of naming things after active politicians was confined to cities like Chicago.
In 1981, the Sports Authority named that new arena in the Meadowlands after our sitting governor. But Brendan Byrne was just months from retirement when the arena opened. As for Frank Lautenberg, he had left the U.S. Senate more than a year before the state Democrats decided in 2002 to put his name on that new train station in Secaucus. What harm could it do if people saw his name plastered all over the place as they switched trains? But then the party bosses pulled a switcheroo of their own and Lautenberg was back running for the Senate.
At that point I assumed the Democrats would have enough class to take their candidate's name off the station. Nope. It's there to this day. Lautenberg got free publicity through two campaigns.
Apparently there's no law prohibiting this sort of thing. But there ought to be. If a private party is restricted to contributing $2,400 to a campaign, how can public money be used to make an in-kind contribution infinitely more valuable?
A bit of research shows that in recent years the Essex and Union County political machines have been emulating the Cook County machine in this regard. A good example is state Sen. Richard J. Codey, who has an arena in West Orange named after him. When I got him on the phone, Codey remarked that Essex County Executive Joe DeVincenzo granted him that honor back when Codey was
Senate president and the two Democrats were on better terms.
Codey, who lost the presidency in an intraparty fight, told me that at a recent event he told DeVincenzo, "Joe, I don't understand. You named a hockey arena after me, now you're trying to put me on ice."
Codey went on to note he's just one of many living pols who've been so honored by the Essex County Dems. Newark political boss Steve Adubato's got an impressive outdoor athletic complex named after him. Rep. Donald M. Payne's got his name on a plaza outside the county courthouse.
Meanwhile, in case you're wondering which candidate to support for sheriff this November in Union County, you can get a hint from those 2-foot-tall letters over the entrance to the Ralph G. Froehlich Public Safety Building in Westfield.
There's a risk to this sort of thing, however, and I was reminded of it by a reader who regularly uses Metropark Station. When the station was being renovated last year, this guy got curious about what lay under the modern decor.
"My curiosity was satisfied when I approached the front of the building, looked closely and saw the still partially legible name that once proudly preceded Metropark Station: 'Harrison A. Williams, Jr.,' " he said.
That's the same Harrison A. Williams Jr. who got caught shortly thereafter taking bribes from an FBI agent posing as an Arab sheik. Good thing they didn't carve that name into stone before news of the Abscam scandal broke.
There's a cautionary tale there for those who make the mistake of naming something after a political figure who's still warm. As they're learning in Toms River, in Jersey, these guys can go from warm to hot overnight.

The rumor mill doesn't stop for Thanksgiving, and "Extra" worked hard all through the holiday weekend to set the latest celebrity gossip straight. From Jen Aniston to Simon Cowell, here's your latest edition of Rumor Control.
Vince Vaughn takes a beating over Jennifer Aniston in the upcoming flick, "The Break Up," but did Vince nurse his wounds at a Paradise Valley spa with his beautiful co-star over the weekend?
Yes -- According to recent reports, the stars were seen sporting matching t-shirts and heading for a massage at the exclusive Sanctuary Resort in the Arizona desert.
And from one rumored star couple to another, did Nicole Kidman and country crooner Keith Urban finally meet the parents during Thanksgiving dinner?
Yes -- According to Star magazine, the self-proclaimed "good friends" used the American tradition for an Australian introduction, where the families walked, talked and shopped together. However, no rings were purchased!
For years, he's crushed the hopes and dreams of America's worst "Idol" wannabes, but is Simon Cowell finally ending his reign as "American Idol's" most terrifying judge?
No -- Despite recent rumors, Mr. Nasty isn't going anywhere. In fact, Simon just signed a multi-million dollar deal with FOX that will keep him slinging those insults for at least another five years!

Perle De Caviar is a skin care line by Ingrid Millet, a company based in Paris France. The full Ingrid Millet line includes: Anti-Aging, Brightening, Cleansers, Exfoliants, Eye Products, Face, Hand & Body, Masks, Moisturizers, Serums and Toners. The Perle De Caviar line boasts both pearls and caviar as the products' main ingredients. According to the Ingrid Millet website, caviar restores energy and vitality to the skin because it is so close in composition. Unfortunately, the website provides no links to clinical studies backing up those claims.
Products in the Perle De Caviar line include: two foundations, Relaxing Eye Mask, Cristal Eye Gel, Pearl Cream Cleanser, Gentle Cleansing Milk, Gentle Softening Lotion, Caviaressence Anti-Wrinkle Relaxing Cream, Bio-Marine Extract, and Rich Moisture Serum. The Perle De Caviar line is extremely expensive and may well be out of the price range of many consumers. A 50 ml jar of Caviaressence Anti-Wrinkle Relaxing Cream retails on the website for $190 at the time of this review.
Product Details
The most frustrating issue that we have with the Perle De Caviar products is that the company does not provide a full list of ingredients. This poses two problems. The first is that those with skin allergies or sensitivities will have a difficult time trying to assess if there are any allergenic ingredients included in the Perle De Caviar products. The second issue is that it is almost impossible for the consumer to determine if the products contain any low-quality ingredients, like synthetic colors, fragrances or "fillers".
Although pearls and caviar sound like exotic ingredients found only in the best skin care products, we were unable to find any significant studies to indicate either ingredient's effectiveness at reducing wrinkles or rejuvenating aging skin. Skin care science advances at break-neck speed and companies need to keep up with innovations. We prefer anti-wrinkle products with clinically-proven ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid.
The Good
- Can purchase directly from the manufacturer.
The Bad
- No full ingredient list available.
- May not contain clinically-proven anti-wrinkle ingredients.
- No money-back guarantee available.
- No links provided to clinical research supporting the effectiveness of the ingredients or the product itself.
The Bottom Line
The marketing of the Perle De Caviar line of skin care products suggests that only the "privileged few" will appreciate the luxury of the products. We find that most consumers want to use an anti-wrinkle product that has been proven effective and doesn't require them to take out a second mortgage. The best of these products will be backed by a money-back guarantee to give the consumer confidence that they won't be stuck out-of-pocket if the product doesn't live up to the hype. Fortunately, there are such products on the market and consumers may wish to continue their search before settling on this product line.

Penn State's final home football game of the season could be a cold and wet affair if current weather projections hold through Saturday.
The National Weather Service in State College is projecting a temperature of 42 degrees for the Nittany Lions' 3:30 p.m. kickoff against Nebraska, said Bill Gartner, a meteorologist with the NWS.
But that will be close to the daytime high temperature. Temperatures in the 30s leading up to the game and a chance of rain showers may make it a cold day for fans.
The chance of precipitation is 50 percent Saturday, according to the NWS. Snow is also a possibility Saturday night.
"By Saturday morning, it's going to turn windy and temperatures will start falling through the day and turn over some snow showers," said Gartner, who added that he does not expect significant snow accumulation.
Winds between 5 to 10 mph are expected at game time around Beaver Stadium.

Bound Brook councilman Jim Lefkowitz will introduce a resolution in July calling for the borough to introduce policies cracking down on illegal immigrants in the borough, according to a report in the Home News Tribune.
The report said Lefkowitz's resolution calls for the borough not to contract with any firms that hire illegal aliens and would require all landlords to obtain proof that their tenants are legal residents. The proposal by Lefkowitz, who is running for re-election this year, comes four years after the borough was cited by the federal Department of Justice for a decade-long practice of housing discrimination.
