I found this spider in my room as I was about to go to bed. I can not seem to find out what kind of spider it is. Please help me. I live in central NJ. Thanks!

This spider is in the family Pisauridae (fishing/dock/nursery web spiders); likely the dark fishing spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus - see http://tinyurl.com/cxfeaf for an image. Large individuals can deliver a painful bite if mishandled, but otherwise are harmless to humans.
