paterno's firing sparked riots on the campus. we'll have a live report in just a few moments. kidnapped washington nationals catcher wilson ramos has been found alive. the details, we're just starting to get more of them. we'll have those for you. also, some of the most breath taking parts on earth are part of a new list. the seven natural wonders of the world. let's start this morning on the campus of penn state university. we have a team of reporters there covering this child sex beautiful scandal that erupted this week. our mike ga lan knows is outside the football stadium where penn state will be playing its final home game today. athena jones will be joinings me here with more reaction from the campus in just a moment. mike, i need to get back to you with some of the news we are getting. the interim president says he'll appoint an ethics officer who

will report directly to him. the former president. the assistant football coach, mike mcqueary, we've learned that he has been put on administrative leave. according to the school, he's been getting threats. and then there's the game. a nebraska game. they play in nebraska, the last home game for penn state kicks off at noon time. mike, we saw a different theme from the students last night. people are wondering what the scene will be like today. >> it is a little different. we're going to hear from some of those fans in a minute. let met get you caught up with more. there was a bomb threat at beaver stadium last night. bomb sniffing dogs had to be brought in. there's a beefed up police presence here. security officials making sure nothing is going to happen here. everybody is going to be safe pb

we're not going to see that same kind of mayhem. that's some of the news. how about joe paterno? we wonder what he's going through. his son issued a statement. let me read part of it. this is from hi son, scott. my father is sxrnsed a powerful range of ee moelgsz. he's absolutely distraught over what happened to the children and their families. he also wants very much to speak publicly and answer questions. at this stage, however, he has no choice but to be patient and defer to the legal process. t.j., also this, espn reporting that joe paterno sent a letter to his team basically saying, i'm sorry i'm not there. focus on the game, not me. and there's even word that they may take him the game ball afterwards. so much going on here. and you had mentioned the students. you talk about a different set of emotions. let's show everybody a little bit of that, a candlelight vigil last night. thousands showed up. it was to show the victims were number one here. children who had their innocence

stolen, that's where they went. then you fast forward to today, and you've got people out tailga tailgating, hoping football can be a respite. they wanted to be the same, but they know it's a lot different after the tumultuous week they've been through. >> very strange. it's almost like a cloud over the university. it depends on which side of the fence you're on, too. >> right now, it feels like a normal game because we're trying to get over what happened. i think we're finally in the acceptance mood. i've received calls saying, be safe, be smart. but nobody i've talked to wants violence. we just want to be a normal game right now. >> it's a little more somber, you can tell they're a little upset today just with all the events that have happened. t.j., these fans note, there's not a cloud in the sky here at state college. they know there's a cloud hovering. they know football can lift that. it will be interesting to see what kind of emotions we see

behind me. >> thanks to you this morning. i want to turn to athena jones. she has been in the middle of the crowd there and she is on the phone with me now. athena, we have all been to football games. we know the atmosphere that surrounds certainly a college football game. does it feel like a college football game? does it feel like the mood we're always used to having outside of a stadium or is it totally different today? >> it does feel like a normal college football game. there have been people lining up here, arriving. they're starting to cook or drink or in many cases continuing to drink. there's a lot of excitement, the usual excitement you see. people wearing penn state gear, penn state gash and also people talking just as mike was talking about, the way the school handled the issue with coach paterno, expressing concern. one interesting thing i should mention is that someone hired a plane, one of those small planes in the banner to fly around the

stadium and the banner reads, joe is so dirty he needs a shower. so there's definitely a big mix of emotion around here that a lot of people who are here who want to support joe paterno. we've seen people wearing a shirt with the legend and his years of service written under it, a lot of people saying we know joe and a lot of people understanding how they've been portrayed and they're trying to come to -- and hope that the football game can be a time for that. >> and one last thing, athena. no signs of any trouble with people who have issues with that or concerns about it? i know security has been stepped up the past couple of days after the riots, but no signs of issues this morning? >> there have no sierns of issues this morning. we have seen a pretty good police presence here. we've seen them on foot and at least a dozen riding on

horseback. nothing too rowdy just yesterday, t.j. >> athena jones for us there on catch campus, as well. thank you so much. we're coming up on seven minutes past the hour. we're turning to venezuela now. wilson ramos has been found alive. he was kidnapped wednesday night from his mother's home in venezuela. the venezuela government says he was rescued by security forces. >> translator: i am very happy for the rescue operation they carried out, very thankful to the government and the national army. i didn't expect them. where they were holding me captive was a very remote place, basically a jungle. i was praying to god to bring me home safely to my family. and look at these guys, they risked their lives to save mine and i am very thankful. >> we will have a live update on this story coming your way. also this morning, in a boat, a economies around the world watch with bated breath as italy's lower house parliament

votes on an austerity package. the move is the last act for prime minister silvio berlusconi. he could resign as soon as tonight. a meltdown there would have a huge impact on global markets. let's attorney iran now. at least 27 people have been killed and two explosions at a military base. this happened at a revolutionary guards munitions depot. rescue workers are on the scene right now. and president obama has stopped by his home state of hawaii. the first couple arrived in hawaii earlier this morning. first day on a nine-day trip. the president mans to meet with leaders of russia, canada, china and russia. in his weekly address, president obama calls on all americans to honor u.s. veterans for their sack ties and their service. beyond that, he's offering

companies to lend them a hiring hand. republicans are pushing this veterans he weekend. >> to give our veterans the opportunities they've earned, i've directed the federal government to lead by example and already we've hired 120,000 veterans. we've also challenged private companies to hire or train 100,000 post 9/11 veterans or their spouses by the end of 2013. so far, many patriotic companies have answered the call, hiring more than 16,000 americans. >> we owe it to our veterans to ensure they come home to a strong economy so they can transition into civilian life, support their family with a good-paying job. together, we can rise above politics to make certain our nation remains great and worthy of our veterans' sacrifices. we're at nine minutes past the hour now. we'll turn to the campaign trail and more off-the-cuff remarks caught on camera. herman cain's comment about anita hill. is now making the rounds.

two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for our country's energy security and our economy.

12 minutes past the hour now. herman cain is in atlanta. so far, not talking about something he said regarding anita hill. her sexual harassment allegations against then supreme court nominee clarence thomas made "headline news" severheadl ago. he was asked if he had heard from anita hill. listen to this. >> did you hear the latest from

mrs. a? anita hill is going to -- >> well, for cain and the other republican presidential hopefuls, debate night again tonight. as our deputy political director tells us, there is no clear front-runner, still not one. >> just over seven weeks to go. a new poll indicates there's a crowd at the top of the field. >> it is a wide open rate race. and newt gingerich, he has a point. the former house speaker is four points behind romney in the republican nomination. but when you take into account the survey area, gingerich is basically all tied. a new cbs poll indicates three points between the battle for the top spot between cain, romney and gingerich. >> there's this funny thing about democracy which is you have competition. it might be easier for me if i

didn't. but i do have competition and i will face other people who will do well. >> republicans haven't made up their minds. nearly one-fifth of them say they're still unskied when it comes to which candidate they're backing. >> i think the american people are looking, asking questions, thinking about it and i think it will stay wide open until january. >> while cain is up there at the top, the sexual harassment allegations appears to be affecting him. tonight, all candidates face off on a stage regarding foreign policy and national security. the candidates are hangel against in a week and a half. >> paul, you can't miss a debate. something happened each and every one of these. >> and, t.j., i think tonight, remember what happened wednesday night with rick perry, i think

tonight the spotlight will be out on him. rick perry in the spotlight for sure tonight. two other people, though, i want to talk about quickly, this is a foreign policy and national security debate in south carolina. he has a lot of experience from his senators. he spent two years as their u.s.-china ambassador. >> and we mentioned herman cain. what was his message? what was his focus today? he was here in atlanta. >> yeah. he was a couple blocks from you guys speaking to the young republicans. it was mostly domestic this morning for his speech. he had some comments on foreign policy. i saw you dipped into that last hour. for herman cain tonight, it will be a little pressure. he had a stumble just a few weeks ago on whether china does or does not have a nuclear weapons program. for him, he'll be in the

spotlight tonight because of that and because of the sexual harassment allegations the last two weeks. >> he took the time here in atlanta campaigning a little bit. do they just go ahead and make their way to south carolina or are they out campaigning, as well? >> we're stooelg seeing them on the campaign trail in south carolina, some were in new hampshire, but by this afternoon, all of them are in the palmetto state. but, you know, we're just over seven weeks now away from those primaries. >> thanks so much. you can join fredericka witfield every sunday afternoon 4:00 eastern at a special hour dedicated to the presidential contenders in the 2012 election. you can also join fredericka. she'll be joining me here shortly.

trying to use a tough economy to take advantage. their victims are vulnerable, retirees who end up losing money they've saved for all their

lives in a matter ooh days. i talked to collide anderson about the most common tactics they use. >> some of these know better. we should know better. phantom riches. they say essentially we're going to make you some money. >> they name that amount and say, i can may you and all you can do is this. usually if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. >> i have to ask you, are any of these ever legitimate? >> i haven't seen any. >> have not seen one yet. >> there you go. here is another one, someone saying, they have these expert credentials. >> yes. i'm the vice president. i'm the ceo. we have this advantage for you if you take advantage of this right now. you think about that, why are they trying to track you? if i'm the ceo of a company,

that's not what i'm going to do. a lot of times, we get caught up in the chase of the deal. >> as i look at the list, we have them on the list for a reason because people are falling about it. >> psyche. if you tell me warren buffett is involved in this deal, you need to get involved in it, too, or you miss out. if they're all involved in it, why am i trying to call you to get you to trust me to get involved in something that's that good. >> we think we're special. it appeals to our ego. >> the other thing is this tit for tat. if i do this, you'll do this. >> i'll cut my commission if you go ahead and sign up right now. >> i have to jump on that deal. >> it may not be there later, right?

it's going to be there. 21 minutes past the hour now. do you think you could handle the pressure? if somebody told you the rest of your life depends on one test that you need to take? that's exactly what's happening for kids in south korea. taking their version of an s.a.t. test and the whole country comes to a halt to help them out.

on this cnn saturday morning, you've got some traveling to do. seven new wonders of the world for you to see. these are the seven natural wonders of the world. they were announced yesterday and they were chosen in an online vote. here we are on the list. the amazon, halong bay in vietnam, iguazu falls in brazil, jeju island in south korea, komodo, indonesia, pureo princesa underground :e table mountain, south africa. they call this a provisional list right now. they have to go back and make sure they add up the numbers. the official announcement will come next year. this test should shape the rest of these kids live.

they'll even only serve their children certain foods. for example, you'll have something sticky like sticky rice cakes and you won't have bananas or seaweed so the knowledge is slippery. but look at this amount ooh pressure that these children are under. and yes, you can see 17-year-olds are not necessarily children, but around 2009, about 200 children committed suit. in 2010, was about 150. they study for so many hours that the current administration has banned classes taking place after 10:00 p.m. >> okay. that is something unimaginable in this country. they also get results. these kids take these tests and what's the number? that go to college? >> well, 80% go to college. but the idea is to get into the three main universities. they call these s.k.y., national skraean university and young

sai. the pressure to get into one of these universities, your whole life depends on it, who you're going to marry, your social status, your paycheck. we're at 27 minutes past the hour now. stay with us on this cnn saturday morning. people are saying their good-byes to one of boxing's great. smokin' joe frazier being remembered today. our machines help identify early stages of cancer, and it's something that we're extremely proud of. you see someone who is saved because of this technology, you know that the things that you do in your life matter. if i did have an opportunity to meet a cancer survivor, i'm sure i could take something positive away from that.

the venezuela national television. he said that the kidnappers and the police exchanged heavy gunfire during his rescue. this is what he had to say. >> i am very happy for the rescue mission they carried out. where they were holding me captive was a very remote place, basically a jungle. i was praying to god to bring me home to my family safely. look at these guys, they risked their lives to save mine and i am very thankful. >> wilson ramos, 24 years old, said he believed his canters are columbian. he said that because he noticed something in their accent. and he already said that he's looking forward to be back playing with his team. >> and luis, they haven't caught the kidnappers, is that right? did they ever make demands? >> well, they caught them. apparently the authorities have said that they caught five
