Frank Aritz Jr. of State College was found guilty for riding his bicycle in downtown State College with a .162 BAC level. Aritz was spotted by police riding his bike without a headlamp on East Beaver Ave. and on the South Allen St. bike route, per the CDT.

With the Penn State Board of Trustees election coming up next month, it's anyone's guess as to which three candidates of the 39 running will win.. The most powerful group aimed at reforming the Board of Trustees -- Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship -- is likely to have significant influence on the outcome of the election. The group claims more than 18,000 members worldwide, and considering that just over 37,000 ballots were cast last year during an election that will most likely have the highest voter turnout ever, the group's endorsement should hold some weight.
TEDxPSU is heading into its fourth year of existence, but the organization has already established itself as an annual "must attend" event for active members of the Penn State community. Yesterday's third annual TEDxPSU: "Yesterday's Frontiers, Tomorrow's Horizons" reinforced that statement more than ever before.
If you thought it was time to put away the winter coats and break out the sun dresses, think again.
State College is expected to receive four to eight inches of snow accumulation throughout the day before changing to rain and ice, according to Accuweather.
The third annual TEDxPSU conference will bring together leading thinkers and innovators in the community for a one day speaker series starting at 10 a.m. today. We'll be blogging throughout the day from Schwab Auditorium, so check back for updates.
