Marco Rubio Riles Cuban Americans Ahead of Florida Debate
The popular Florida GOP senator says Obama has no plan for the future.
HIALEAH, FLA. – Favorite son and conservative hero Florida Sen. Marco Rubio criticized President Barack Obama before a crowd of about 100 people in a Cuban enclave near Miami during a Monday rally for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Rubio, a top surrogate for the Romney campaign, is of Cuban descent and addressed the mostly Cuban-American crowd in Spanish as well as English at the gathering in the parking lot of a local Republican Party office.
"Over the last three weeks of this campaign the president has refused to tell us what he's going to do over the next four years," Rubio said. "All it is is name-calling; all it is is personal attacks. He called Mitt Romney a liar. Last week he came up with this cute little phrase 'Romnesia' and all these silly things he comes up with. How about this, how about a plan for the next four years?"

The Obama campaign, which has lost ground to Romney in recent national and swing state polling, is desperate and on the attack, Rubio said.
"It's not going to work; people see through that and that's what we are going to see tonight in the debate," Rubio said. "It will be the last of the three debates and it'll be obvious after tonight that there's only one person running that has a plan for the next four years and his name is Mitt Romney."
While Obama leads polling among Latino voters by more than a 2 to 1 margin, the Cuban-American vote – mostly centered around Miami – is distinctly pro-Republican. Cubans, thanks to the one foot on dry land policy, have a very different experience with immigration – a key issue for most Hispanic voters – than Latinos from countries like Mexico.
[ENJOY: The U.S. News Collection of Obama Cartoons]
A couple who emigrated from Cuba in 1962 attended the rally and said they support Republicans because they believe in personal responsibility, not reliance on the government. This fear of government dependency is a common sentiment among those who left behind the communist Castro regime.
Others gathered at the rally gave different reasons for supporting Romney.
"The difference between one and the other is night and day," says Jorge Carbonell of Doral. "We gave the opportunity to Obama to do something for the nation, but he's doing nothing. Only promise, no delivery. Romney is a businessman who has proved for years he knows what he's doing."
[SEE ALSO: Live Coverage of the Final Obama-Romney Debate]
Like in other states, the president's controversial healthcare overhaul is also a motivation to support Romney.
"The biggest thing is the Obamacare. I don't like it," says Ben Kennedy of Miami Shores. "And also the way he's dealing with Russia, telling Russia he's going to 'fix it all' after the election."
Kennedy was referring to a hot-mic moment that caught Obama seeking to reassure outgoing Russian President Dmitri Medvedev he would have more flexibility after the election to negotiate on the U.S. missile defense system. He says the idea of Obama saying one thing in public and another in private makes him uncomfortable.
[RELATED: New 'Leaked' Romney Tape? Not So Much.]
But Kennedy dismisses Romney's own private moment that was made public: a secretly recorded tape that showed Romney telling rich donors at a Boca Raton fundraiser that the 47 percent of Americans who support Obama are dependent on government and don't concern him.
"It was probably was ill-stated. I don't think he's 100 percent wrong on that, there are a lot of hangers-on who are on for the free ride" he says. "That's our problem; there are too many people along for a free ride."
Kennedy is also looking forward to future presidential elections, he says.
"I'd like to be able to vote for Marco Rubio for president," Kennedy says with a smile.
Obama and Romney face off Monday night for the third and final presidential debate. Polling shows the two men in a virtual tie, with Romney gaining momentum as of late. Election Day is November 6.

I don't think you can sit there and tell me there's a strong likelihood that MSU will beat UM this year. First and foremost, they lost the heart and soul of that defense as well as the guys calling the checks etc. A lot of what they do on defense was based on the fact that they could blitz at will because they could put the best CB in the country on whoever and get 5+ seconds of hip pocket coverage.
Secondly, I think people underestimate the impact of the departure of Bullough, Allen and Lewis. Those dudes started what seemed like every single game from their freshman year on, and regardless of what talent comes in behind them the seniors calling the DL checks etc won't be the same. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Bullough was given leeway by Narduzzi to call his own checks etc.
Finally, they also replace 3 OL starters. Yes their guys are more expereincd but hey. I wil wait for a game first

Now. The biggest issue people have with surgery is that for about 5 months, your body learns that your knee is not stable. You ahve to build significant muscle tone around the joint to compensate for this. This leaves the patient with a mental understanding that their knee is no longer solid, and they implicitly avoid doing things that might require having to go through surgery again on it.
Mentally trusting your body to do something it failed at is extremely difficult. 8-12 months before you can truly expect to have a solid knee with athleticism that might return to normal

Ennis is playing out of his age, with some ridiculous stats (4.2 Assist to Turnover Ratio, 40% from 3, around 3/gm).
Think he benefits where Michigan has a bit of a gap in the lineup, which is the matchup tweener 3/4 guy who is just an assist sponge. At the 3/4 Cuse has CJ Fair (All ACC contender) and Jerami Grant (potential first rounder this year). Morgan is not as athletic as these two, and lacks the outside game to pull the defender and open drive lanes.

Facial trauma following assault maybe. Seems a little flimsy on the actual investigative reporting and a little long on the hearsay and first name only sources.
Also, why wait 2 hours to go to the ER? Find it extremely hard to believe a police officer would let a guy who was apparently just punched in the face, not see the EMTs who were "on the way" and then let said person drive himself to the ER. Strange story..

Clarksville Police Department officials are conducting a homicide investigation at a Clarksville home in the 2300 block of Plum Woods Drive.
Police believe the victim, a white man in his 40s who lived in the home, was killed in the late morning hours Monday. The identity of the man has not been released.
He was found with a gunshot wound to his chest, police reported. Police could not confirm if multiple shots had been fired.
After responding to the home about 11:30 a.m. Monday, police considered the incident a death investigation, as they were unable to determine if the man had turned the firearm on himself. But as the investigation unfolded, investigators began treating the shooting as a homicide, CPD Maj. Darrell Rayborn said.
Chief Mark Palmer with CPD said about 5:30 p.m. that no suspects have been identified. Palmer said earlier in the day that it appeared no one else was in the home at the time of the shooting, but added, "There are some suspicious characteristics to it [the shooting]."
He couldn't say at the time if the firearm had been recovered by police. Investigators have made contact with the victim's wife, and the investigation is ongoing, Palmer said. He said he expects more information to be released as it continues.
The home is located at the northern end of Clarksville in the Plum Lake subdivision, near Hunter Station business complex in Sellersburg. It has a Sellersburg mailing address.

This month, get more details on D&D Experience, the next season of D&D Encounters, and a sneak peek into a cool reward perk arriving for our most dedicated D&D Encounters Dungeon Masters!

Exclusive Games
D&D Experience will have a brand-new adventure written by Shawn Merwin called "Kalarel's Revenge," which features an exclusive look at Heroes of Shadow, Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale, and other surprises! In addition, the DM's Challenge this year will be D&D Gamma World themed, as players explore the post-apocalyptic hometowns of their DMs. Great special events like the board game challenge, the Baldman Games/Critical Hits Open Tournament "Murder at Time's End," and numerous other custom games offer all sorts of one-off play experiences. And for all the campaigners out there, D&D Experience offers plenty of Living Forgotten Realms games (including another battle interactive "Swarm of Chaos") and the launch of the Ashes of Athas convention campaign!

Head over to the D&D Experience seminars page to get all the info.
Sweet Swag
You braved the frigid Indiana winter to be here, and we'd like to show you our thanks by having lots of great takeaway promos available throughout the show. Some stuff will magically appear when you arrive and check in, and other items will be available for participating in certain events. Hitting up "Kalarel's Revenge" will net you an opportunity to try out the new D&D Fortune Cards, while you can compete for a copy of Wrath of Ashardalon through the board game challenge. You'll find board game and D&D Gamma World promos greeting you in your swag bag, and other cool exclusives just might be found if you keep an eye open.
On February 9th, the next season of D&D Encounters arrives with "March of the Phantom Brigade," written by Rodney Thompson. This adventure promises an engaging storyline and a can't-miss finale. You'll want to play every Wednesday!
We discussed some program details last month, and here's a little story preview along with some other first looks for you to peruse while you get ready to face off against an ancient evil in the Ghost Tower!
Adventure Introduction
The adventure begins with the heroes as part of a caravan of pilgrims setting out to found a town in the ruins of Castle Inverness. The heroes are 1st-level adventurers who have been hired to ensure that the caravan reaches Inverness safely. Here's the opening read-aloud text:
You and your companions stand huddled in the chill of early morning, blowing clouds of mist with every breath. Dawn is just breaking, and the shadowed walls of Hammerfast loom above you. A caravan of settlers is preparing to depart, and you are among them.
Some months ago, a call went out from the temple of Moradin in Hammerfast seeking able-bodied settlers to establish a new town to the southwest. Desiring to settle in this new town, you answered the call and now stand in a field outside the town awaiting the caravan's departure.
You and your companions stand huddled in the chill of early morning, blowing clouds of mist with every breath. Dawn is just breaking, and the shadowed walls of Hammerfast loom above you. A caravan of settlers is preparing to depart, and you are among them.
Some months ago, a call went out from the temple of Moradin in Hammerfast seeking able-bodied settlers to establish a new town to the southwest. Desiring to settle in this new town, you answered the call and now stand in a field outside the town awaiting the caravan's departure.
Keeping It Simple: Start at 1st Level
Starting this season, all characters start at 1st level, regardless of when the player starts the season. In addition, you'll level up when you obtain enough XP to make your levels. There are no "level bumps." This makes it easy for new players to join at any point during the season and rewards players who attend each week by giving them a faster track to gaining their levels.
Essentials Characters
We're keeping it straightforward again this season by spotlighting the D&D Essentials line for character creation. You can create a character using Heroes of the Fallen Lands, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, and any Dragon magazine article content that has the icons of those two books on the article's title page. In addition, the DDI Character Builder has all the details already pre-loaded into a campaign setting for "March of the Phantom Brigade" (available approximately one week before the season begins).
If you want to just jump right in and play, you can pick up one of the pre-generated characters to start while you're trying to decide what to make for the next week!
New Treasure Distribution
This season, instead of receiving specific magic items for treasure, the DM is instructed to roll on a chart to award an item, potentially giving each group that plays at your local store a different variety of gear. In fact, here's the chart, straight from the adventure.
D&D Fortune Card Rewards
Starting this season, the D&D Encounters cards offered in previous seasons have been replaced with a new gameplay enhancement, D&D Fortune Cards. As you earn Renown Points this season, you'll get access to exclusive D&D Fortune Cards that are not available anywhere else! You'll earn cards at 20, 40, and 60 Renown Points. In addition, we've upped the number of cards available at the higher thresholds, ensuring that more players can get access to the rewards that take a bigger commitment to earn.
Did you go the distance last year with a D&D Encounters season at your local store? Were you a DMing all-star week in and week out? We're thanking you, our most dedicated D&D Encounters DMs, with a care package of goodies sent to your store, directly to your attention! These thank-you packages include a special "DM Thank You" Token Set designed by Gale Force Nine, a copy of the D&D novel Mark of Nerath, a special D&D Fortune Card, and a really kick-ass 2011 D&D Calendar! Packages should be arriving at your D&D Encounters stores in early February.
Next month, stay tuned for a D&D Experience wrap-up report and information on PAX East in Boston. Good gaming!

Within 18 days of being introduced in early August as the soon-to-be owner of the Browns, Tennessee businessman Jimmy Haslam drove to Ken Stewart's Lodge in Bath Township with two Browns executives to have dinner with Chuck Jones, president of FirstEnergy Utilities.
"Jimmy interviewed me, and it literally was an interview," Jones said. Haslam wanted to know about the company's financial security, its community commitment and its foundation giving, Jones said.
He "was trying to establish in his own mind that we were the type of company he wanted to align his own brand with," said Jones of the deal that would eventually be struck for $102 million over 17 years to name the facility FirstEnergy Stadium: Home of the Cleveland Browns.
After about an hour, Haslam said: "Look, this is why I'm here. I've decided I'm going to sell the naming rights to Cleveland Browns Stadium. I made that announcement in my first press conference as prospective owner. I can't do anything until I'm the official owner. I'm going to do it. I've already had some calls, but I've decided I would like to have FirstEnergy's name on the stadium. Is that something you would like?"
No money or terms of a potential agreement were discussed at that dinner, Jones said, but he told Haslam: "Jimmy, there's a difference between you and me. You don't have a boss. I do. I have to go back and talk to my boss."
That invitation Aug. 21 was the culmination of conversations that were first floated more than two years earlier. It wasn't until a week later, and after much contemplation on his part, Jones said — along with consulting with Gretchan Sekulich, FirstEnergy's vice president of communications, who agreed naming the stadium was a good idea — that the idea was first brought to Tony Alexander, the company's president and chief executive officer.
Also at the dinner were Jim Ross, the Browns' senior vice president of business development, and Brett Reynolds, Browns vice president of marketing.
Ross said the drive to the restaurant with Haslam was "intense."
"Jimmy's a very well-prepared guy and was prepared even before going down there," Ross said.
Haslam, the chief executive of Tennessee-based Pilot Flying J Corp., wanted to know everything about Jones and FirstEnergy and the potential deal.
At the dinner, Ross said he and Reynolds were the spectators.
"Those two were just going at it," Ross said. "It was really the first time I had seen Jimmy in action in a setting like this. Obviously, he's a wildly successful guy and you don't have to worry about what he's going to do. I didn't know his style. He was amazing and he's very engaging."
After the three Browns officials got into their car after dinner, Haslam asked Ross: "How do you think that went?"
"I think that went great," Ross said. "I don't think it could have gone better."
"Yeah," Haslam said. "I think the only way it could have gone better is if we could have gotten the order," referring to the naming-rights deal.
Floating the idea
Ross was the architect of the deal.
A few months after arriving in Cleveland in April 2010 from stints with the New York Yankees and Miami Dolphins, Ross reached out for an introductory meeting with FirstEnergy since the company had previously been a stadium gate sponsor.
The agenda for that meeting was to get to know the company, Ross said. But he had also discussed very casually with then-Browns owner Randy Lerner about increasing the team's local revenue stream.
Lerner instructed Ross to "poke around and see what's out there" for potential naming-rights partners, but Lerner emphasized that he would be very particular about the company, that it needed to be a regional company and that he didn't know what he wanted for a fee.
"During that meeting [with FirstEnergy], I just kind of floated it out there, 'Would you ever consider putting [the company name] on the stadium?' " Ross said.
It was the first time Ross floated that idea to anyone.
"I figured, 'What the heck. I've got nothing to lose.' [Jones] kinda took a deep pause, shook his head a little left and right, up and down and adjusted himself in his seat. I sort of expected him to say 'What, are you crazy?' "
Jones recalls that conversation: "My first reaction was 'Jim, boy, I think that's pretty far out there for us. But we would always consider anything.' "
Jones had been the president of the Cleveland Illuminating Co., the regulated utility, from 1997 to 2001, during the years when the Browns weren't in Cleveland and when the Browns returned as an expansion team.
A major fan
He knew the economic impact of not having an NFL team in town had on a community. He is also a diehard Browns fan, having bought his first season ticket with buddies in 1982 for seats in the last row in the upper deck of Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Even now, when FirstEnergy has a suite at the stadium, Jones sits in seats outside.
"I do a lot of entertaining and a lot of politicking and a lot of community work. Not at Browns games. When I go there, I go as a fan," he said. "But having said that, this was a business decision."
Ross and Jones had casual conversations over the next two years about the naming rights, but nothing serious, both said. FirstEnergy was the early pick, but Ross said he did pitch the idea casually to a few other regional companies and one unnamed bank that expressed interest. However, it didn't progress for a number of reasons, Ross said.
After FirstEnergy sponsored Akron's financially struggling Soap Box Derby for three years for an undisclosed amount last March and saw that it was well received, Jones said he was asked by FirstEnergy's marketing team of Todd Schneider, director of external affairs; Sekulich and Tim Quine, director of communications services, what the company would do next.
"I said, 'Well, if you really think this is great, what would you think of really taking a leap?' " Jones said.
So last spring, Jones called Ross.
"Jim, I think we ought to further the dialogue. When are you guys going to get off the saddle and do this?"
Ross came back with the answer to Jones: " 'Randy is not interested in selling it at this time.' And we never talked about it again."
'Down to Akron'
This all changed when Haslam came into the picture.
At the first meeting between Browns staff and Haslam before he was introduced as the next owner Aug. 3, the subject of naming rights came up. Ross told Haslam that there was interest from FirstEnergy.
"When you're meeting a guy who's going to be your boss, you don't want to overpromise," Ross said.
Haslam responded, "Well, let's sell it and if FirstEnergy happens, great, but you better have a Plan B, too."
Ross says he did not have a Plan B, but he was willing to take the calculated risk with FirstEnergy.
Ross and others suggested to Haslam that he meet with Jones personally. Haslam agreed.
They also suggested that it was important for the Browns to bring Haslam to FirstEnergy.
"You're absolutely right," Haslam said. "Let's go down to Akron." But both sides agreed they could not meet at their offices and needed to keep their meetings close to the vest.
After the Haslam-Jones dinner at Ken Stewart's Lodge, Jones needed to get the approval of Alexander.
Alexander said at the right price, it would be something he would look at.
"Look," Alexander said. "This is a once-every-20-year-opportunity. We need to look at it. With what we're trying to do to improve our competitive position on the unregulated side, it fits right in with everything we're trying to do here."
Alexander and Haslam did not meet until Jan. 15, the day of the news conference to announce the deal. But Jones said the message from both leaders was clear.
"Jimmy wanted to get it done. Tony wanted to get it done. They're both very dynamic, charismatic leaders. When those two leaders kept sending to their team the message 'We want this done,' it made the rest of the negotiations go pretty quickly," Jones said.
Smaller, but still top-secret teams then started to work on the proposal. At the next dinner on Sept. 17 — this time in the back room of Ken Stewart's Lodge — Ross and Reynolds from the Browns and Jones, Sekulich and Quine from FirstEnergy looked over mock-ups of the stadium and other promotional material.
Fear of news leak
Jones and Ross said there was a little damage control to do after that meeting, since it was pretty clear to the wait staff what the diners were talking about. Ross said at one point, a server came in to say that the chef was a huge Browns fan and wanted to come in to say hello. The diners declined.
"We actually thought the next day we could be talking to" the media after a leak, Jones said.
Said Ross: "I don't know what happened. Somehow they didn't call sports radio or the newspapers."
Said Jones, "Let's just say we figured out how to keep it under wraps."
The teams never went back to Ken Stewart's for meetings and later once met at Fleming's before the restaurant opened.
Also at that initial meeting, the Browns presented FirstEnergy with its first price for the package to name the stadium. Jones and Ross declined to discuss the numbers, but Jones said there was a big difference between the Browns' number and what FirstEnergy had in mind.
Over the next few days, Jones called Ross to say: "We can't take your price to Tony. Come back and tell us the bottom line you would do this deal at."
Ross said it was highly unusual to not have a counter offer, but he took the message back to Haslam, and they worked out a price with the terms of the deal.
Ross then waited nervously for a few days for the return call from Jones.
"Hi Jim. It's Chuck. I've got bad news for you," Ross recalls Jones saying. "You're stuck with FirstEnergy ... We've got a deal."

SOURCE Thor Industries, Inc.
ELKHART, Ind., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thor Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO) today announced record preliminary sales from continuing operations, as well as continued strong growth in the Company's backlog, for the third quarter and nine months ended April 30, 2014.
Preliminary consolidated sales from continuing operations in the third quarter were $1.05 billion, up 13% from $929.8 million in the third quarter last year. Towable RV sales for the third quarter were $801.5 million, up 8% from $742.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Motorized RV sales in the third quarter increased 31% to $245.6 million from $187.3 million in the same quarter a year ago.
For the nine months ended April 30, 2014, preliminary consolidated sales from continuing operations were $2.48 billion, up 6% from $2.33 billion last year. Towable RV sales for the nine months were $1.90 billion, which was flat compared to last year. Motorized RV sales rose 38% to $585.5 million from $423.3 million last year.
Consolidated backlog on April 30, 2014 was $820.2 million, up 26% from $649.6 million at the end of the third quarter last year. Towable RV backlog increased 25% to $548.6 million, compared to $439.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Motorized RV backlog increased 29% to $271.6 million from $210.0 million a year earlier.
Thor's operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 continued to be adversely impacted by a variety of factors including the harsh winter weather during February and early March, which in turn affected certain costs during the quarter. In addition, the Company continued to incur start-up costs associated with new production facilities and experience the effects of the ongoing tight labor market in northern Indiana. The RV industry is also facing logistical challenges in making timely deliveries to dealers given the shortage of drivers at transport companies that is more acute than prior years.
"Although we still faced a number of factors, particularly in the first half of the quarter, that affected our operations and shipments, strong demand for our products resulted in record sales," said Bob Martin, Thor President and CEO. "As we continue to navigate through some near-term challenges, we remain optimistic about our business and our industry, as strong early retail sales results have boosted the confidence of dealers as we reach the heart of the peak selling season. We continued to demonstrate our long-term confidence in the RV industry with our acquisition of K.Z., Inc., which closed on May 1, 2014, and with our recent investment in our newest motorized plant in Elkhart, which is in the process of ramping up for production in the fourth quarter. These moves leave us well positioned for a solid finish to our fiscal year," he added.
Thor expects to report its third-quarter operating results on June 5, 2014.

I know Whoopie Pies are soooo last year in terms of food trendiness, but lets face it, they are tasty treats. That and Super Bowl parties are not known for 'of the moment' foods (7 layer bean dip anyone?). I did sassy these up a little by adding bourbon, but other than that... they are plain, simple and delicious.
Bourbon Cream Whoopie Pies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup warmed whole milk
1 tsp bourbon
(Optional)- ¼ cup jimmies, sprinkles, colored sugar etc.
For the cakes:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Then add the egg, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low and alternately mix in flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until smooth.
Spoon rounded tbs mounds of batter 2 inches apart onto large baking sheets with silpat mats or greased. Flatten mounds a bit with the back of a spoon. Bake for 8 minutes-- until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling:
In a large bowl, with and electric mixer, beat together the shortening, butter and sugar until fluffy. Add flour, vanilla and milk. Beat until creamy and smooth. Whisk in bourbon.
To make the pies, spread a rounded tbs of filling on flat sides of half of cakes then top with remaining cakes. If desired, roll completed pies in a bowl of sprinkles.

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
The data in this graphic come from the web site of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, but a graphic designer in Purchase, N.Y., named Leon Farrant has created a graphic that drives home what the data mean.
Below is a look at the past morbidity (how many people became sick) of what were once very common infectious diseases, and the current morbidity in the U.S. There's no smallpox and no polio, almost no measles, dramatically less chickenpox (also known as varicella) and H. influenza (that's not flu, but a bacteria that can cause deadly meningitis.
This should drive home how effective the common childhood inoculations, made by Merck, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, and Novartis, are. The pneumococcal vaccine, made by Pfizer, has resulted in dramatic drops in meningitis and pneumonia. When Bristol-Myers Squibb lost a patent case related to its hepatitis B drug the other week, investors shrugged, because children here are vaccinated against hepatitis B, so this isn't a big market. The pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine has been failing us, because immunity against it fades. But there's still a dramatic reduction in what was once a common disease.
You can see more of Farrant's work here.
Update: To be clear, these data represent data collected in 2007 on past incidence of these diseases. This was published here, in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The current data are annualized cases for 2010, per the link to the original data that I had included above.

The CNN report you site has nothing to do with mercury in vaccines.
Without having the data with me, I'd say the increase in autism is not in cases but in diagnoses. Right now we have a better understanding of clinical symptoms so all children with those symptoms are diagnosed as autistic. Back in the days (10 years ago), a non negligible number of children with those symptoms were simply NOT diagnosed with autism but with something else so those cases were hidden in the stats. We don't have more autistic people now, we have more diagnosed people now. Same happens with some other maladies that were not that known 10-20 years ago. Methinks anyway. And by the way, the number of measles cases in US is skyrocketing precisely because people stopped vaccinating with this mercury-autism fear.
The vaccine court seams to disagree with you.
Yes the courts were put in place to keep the vaccine manufactures in the business of making vaccines by shifting liability from them to the courts. That does not change the fact that the court has found in several cases that the vaccines have caused autism. Several studies have all so shown that giving multiple vaccines at once, and the younger the patient, the greater the danger. http://het.sagepub.com/content/31/10/1012. full this is just one. All so the JCVI openly talked about the increased risks, how they could be minimized and chose to suppress. The paper written about it using the JCVI's own meting notes gained through the freedom of information act. http://www.ecomed.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/3-tomljenovic.pdf . Wile most vaccines are safe, (for most people if given at the right age and spaced out) they is enough information out that they are not "phenomenally safe medicines" and that patients are not being given proper informed consent. That the schedule being used is not the safest way to give them.
While mercury is certainly dangerous to human health, please consider the following: 1) Pediatric vaccines do not contain the mercury-containing preservative called thimerosal, which is 50% mercury. Some presentations of influenza vaccine, namely multi-dose vials, do contain thimerosal. 2) A tuna fish sandwich has about the same amount of mercury in it than a thimerosal-containing vaccine. Let's do that math together: Flu shot = 12.5 or 25 µg of Hg. Tuna sandwich = 1.0 PPM of Hg X 6 oz = 17 µg of Hg. As the average American has not just one, but many servings of tuna every year, let's be honest with ourselves about what the real culprit for mercury exposure is.
I'd add that in vaccines where mercury has been used, the amount is less than what you'd find in an average tuna fish sandwich.
In the JAMA study, women who had been taking folic acid were associated with a reduced risk of having a baby who had autism. An interesting correlation, but I have a really hard time believing there is any direct relationship considering how in the U.S. most pregnant women are on pre-natals with folic acid.
BTW, I enjoyed your talk at AAASmtg.
Vaccines ARE phenomenally safe therapeutically. The risk of NOT vaccinating is high, in terms of an individual's likelihood of disease and possible mortality, as well as to the larger community.
Just a thought: Why weren't we experiencing massive economic productivity and social malaise during the years of vaccine acceptance prior to 1995 or 2000? This includes Asperger's syndrome type autism spectrum disease as well as others. Some say that it was due to failure to diagnose correctly. However the medical establishment has not had difficulty in diagnosing autism, listed in the DSM-II through DSM-V for half a century.
As for Asperger's syndrome in particular: I read "Mommy Blogs" sometimes. I've recently noticed mothers claiming that it is not a disease but a special gift of intelligence and uniqueness. Some even report that Asperger's syndrome children are warm, loving and affectionate, as well as intellectually astute. So I wonder if the presentation profile of Asperger's syndrome is more often, though not always, a manifestation of normal behavior for bright children?
Maybe… vaccination is actually GOOD for children.
Wow, what insightful information! Oh wait, maybe you shouldn't cite a NEWS article and get some actual information. This was a news article that showed where it got the information from, so that is better.
Now, the thimerosol was removed a while ago from various vaccines, and it did nothing. You get more mercury from a Tuna Sandwich… The multi-dose vaccines just make it so parents don't need to come in a hundred times to cover diseases.
Listen, we can say to a reasonable degree, that autism and vaccines are not even CORRELATED. There is also more solar panels in the past ten years but we don't attribute that to autism… just understand how stupid your comment actually is.
The increase in autism (that the article you sent actually talks about) is by and large due to the encompassing Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as the earlier diagnosis. I have a friend who was 14 when he was diagnosed with Asperger's, a more mild form of autism. Don't take that as evidence, take that as an example of how through increased understanding the rate of diagnosis was increased. This was also true with cancer. It went from "granpa dying cause he was old" to "grandpa dying of leukemia"

Membership FAQ
How do I sign up or renew my membership?
You can sign up or renew online, at the Visitor Services desk or membership kiosk at Chabot, or by calling (510) 336-7392.
I'm a teacher, student, or senior. Do you offer any membership discounts?
Yes, however at this time these discounts are only available on memberships purchased at the front desk of the Center. A valid teacher ID is required at the time of purchase for our Educator Circle membership. For students, valid student ID is required to get $5 off memberships, and the same discount is available to seniors over 65 with ID.
Do you offer memberships that include grandparents?
Grandparents may purchase an Earth Family membership to use for themselves and up to 5 grandchildren (parents not included).
Upper Level memberships include two guests and may be used to bring grandparents.
My Earth Family Plus membership includes a caregiver. Why do I only have two cards?
Earth Family Plus memberships will have two adults named on the cards, and only two cards. Your caregiver is still included. You can either bring that third adult with you, or give him/her one of your cards so that he/she can bring your children. Cards are not valid for the caregiver's children, and the caregiver cannot bring guests. If more than one adult is present, ID must be shown to match the name on the card.
Do I get to see shows for free?
Yes! As a member, you receive unlimited free Planetarium shows.
Can I give a membership as a gift?
Yes. This can be done at Visitor Services or online. For online gift memberships, click on the level you would like to give, and enter your own information on the first page. Gift recipient information is entered on the second page.
Are there special member lines?
At the front desk, due to spacing constraints, there is no specified member line. During times of increased traffic, the Visitor Services team will call forward the next member in line so that members can skip the wait.
In our Planetarium there are 'members only' lines which will give you priority seating. If you are unsure of which is the member line, check at the front of the line for the member sign or ask the usher.
Do I get to bring friends in for free or discounted admission?
No, at this time your membership does not allow you to bring friends or relatives in for free or discounted admission. The exception to this would be our "guest" memberships, Earth Active (1 adult + guest), Earth Family Plus (2 adult + guest + children in household), and Earth Orbiter, which all allow one free person outside of the person named on the card.
Will I receive notices of upcoming classes, activities, and special member events?
We regularly send out news of what is going on at Chabot in our Member Insight, which is emailed to you. We also send out notices of special member events through email. If you do not receive these newsletters, please email your full name and email address to firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to the mailing list.
In an effort to stay green, we do not send out paper newsletters in the mail. This also defrays the costs of printing and postage, so that more of your membership goes toward community and education programs.
How long does it take to receive my permanent membership cards? What should I do if I don't receive them?
Permanent membership cards should reach you within 2 - 4 weeks after you sign up. If it is beyond 4 weeks and you have not received your cards, please call (510) 336-7392 or let Visitor Services know when you come to the Center. We'll have you fill out your name and address again so that we can check our records for accuracy and then resend your cards to you.
How do I replace a lost or stolen membership card?
Lost or stolen cards can be replaced for a $5.00 fee. This can be done onsite at Visitor Services, or over the phone by calling (510) 336-7392.
How does the ASTC program work?
ASTC stands for Association of Science and Technology Centers. Being a part of the ASTC Travel Passport Program, you are among the savviest of science enthusiasts and will receive the benefit of free admission to over 300 science centers and museums around the world.
- Based on residence: To receive Travel Passport Program benefits, you must live more than 90 miles away "as the crow flies" from the center/museum you wish to visit. Admissions staff reserve the right to request proof of residence for benefits to apply.
- Based on your science center's/museum's location: Science centers/museums located within 90
miles of each other are excluded from the Travel Passport Program unless that exclusion is lifted by
mutual agreement (see list on Chabot's "Plan Your Visit" FAQ). 90 miles is measured "as the crow flies" and not by driving distance.
- Also - don't forget to bring your Chabot Membership card with you while traveling.
Passport venues are not required to grant free admission to visitors who forget their cards. There is no
universal database with all Passport visitors' member data and expiration dates for admission staff to
reference. Some venues will allow you to call the science center or museum you joined to confirm your
membership, but they are under no obligation to do so. Please visit astc.org for the current list of participating institutions and more details.
I'm a member and my child is coming to Chabot on a field trip. Do we have to pay?
Yes. School field trips include classes not part of membership, and are already offered at such a discounted rate that we are unable to provide free admission for member children coming with their school. School education is an extremely important aspect of Chabot's mission and has always been part of our history, and in order to keep the program going a fee is required.
If you are a member parent of a child and would like to come as a chaperon, you may use your membership to get yourself in for free. Simply visit the front desk when you arrive and show your membership card. Please note however that since school trip numbers are booked independently, there may not be enough room in the planetarium to accommodate you, and that there is no admittance to any 10am show for a member parent who has not booked with the school.

Email email@example.com with any further questions.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Fairly good construction, light weight, easily and quickly movable, it's come with a good carry bag. The tripod looks sturdy. The head for mounting on camera is easy to adjust and come with a liquid leveler.
Cons: The tripod is light weighted and taller you make your tripod, the more it will wobble in even light winds. I have a D70 and looks it is close of maximum weight that the tripod and head in combination can handle.
Other: It's cheap and does work.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Made of lightweight materials Compact when carried which is really important in travels. Easy retractable

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Made of lightweight materials, which is very practical for the permanent displacement of photo equipment.
Cons: The plastic material of the tripod is very fragile. This requires very careful handling. In principle, the entire construction is not very stable. When you turn the camera should hold the tripod.
Other: The overall quality of performance is satisfactory, considering the price, buying a good one.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: A very cheap good stand, I got it as a spare and as a tripod for my flashes for indoors,but I can easily see myself using it outdoors since it's quite light and built alright, might need to weigh it down with something if it's breezy though.
Cons: Well none so far, it's a great tripod for that price,but has it's limitations as far as weight and stability goes. It's not very tall so tall people might have to crouch. The box it came in was completely squished.
Other: Great as a spare and as a light tripod, good quality for the price.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - It's very easy to extend or contract. I've used it with my camera and it works perfect.
- It's Black
- It's light , easy to carry around.

- Comes with a carrying bag.
Cons: I like this tripod, I don't have complaints.
Other: This tripod is great! It's in a very reasonable price range and well worth every cent. I expect it to last me a long time before I spend money on a more expensive tripod.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Light
Lots of features
quick release hotshoe
quick release legs
Cons: Easy to break if you aren't careful
Not stable for >3 pounds
Will wobble in breezes
Other: I'd buy it again if I need a light tripod.
But I'll buy a more expensive one next time because I feel if i double the weight (and price) it will be more stable. Tripods are pretty easy to carry anyways.
