Managing Editor's Note: You'd think that Steven Colbert, given the tragedy he has faced, would have more empathy for families affected by vaccine injury. For OUR Pain. Apparently not. He mocks us and our kids while allowing Dr. Offit to further hijack a month that should be about helping people with autism, protecting an industry. Ah, but Colbert's father was a doctor and perhaps this colors his ability to see clearly? In 1974, when Colbert was 10, his father, a doctor, and his brothers Peter and Paul, the two closest to him in age, died in a plane crash while flying to a prep school in New England. "There's a common explanation that profound sadness leads to someone's becoming a comedian, but I'm not sure that's a proven equation in my case," he told me. "I'm not bitter about what happened to me as a child, and my mother was instrumental in keeping me from being so." He added, in a tone so humble and sincere that his character would never have used it: "She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that's directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that he gave us. What she taught me is that the deliverance God offers you from pain is not no pain — it's that the pain is actually a gift. What's the option? God doesn't really give you another choice."
Last night on the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert turned his back on a generation of sick kids and joined the rest of the mainstream media promoting every lie about vaccines and autism.
(Starts at 4:17)
In the six and a half minute interview with Dr. Paul Offit, Colbert ignored the fact that officials are clueless when it comes to what causes autism, all that mattered was ridiculing anyone who dares to say it's linked to vaccines.
Amid all the sarcasm and kidding around, Offit described the lifesaving benefits of our ever-increasing vaccine schedule.
Offit got to cite 20 studies showing no link between vaccines and autism. The increase in the schedule and the explosion in autism was just a coincidence.
Colbert talked about thimerosal. He even said it's made from mercury. Viewers were shown an image of the skull and crossbones on the thimerosal container. It didn't matter.
Colbert said 29 percent of Americans don't believe Paul Offit. They think vaccines do cause autism. Celebrities and parents are the only ones who link the two, according Colbert.
Colbert forgot to mention that Offit has financial ties to pharma.
He never tells the audience that vaccine makers have no liability. Neither do doctors.
Colbert puts ignorant parents up against the medical community.
Offit: "It's perfectly reasonable for the parent to ask the question: My child was fine, They got a vaccine. Now they aren't fine. Could the vaccine have done it? It's an answerable question and it has been answered, The question has been answered again and again and again. The question is, Why does the 29 percent still think vaccines may be a problem when in fact, they've been shown not to be?"
Colbert noted that Offit is the head of the Vaccine Education Center at CHOP and he asked him why we still needed to be educated.
Offit: "We shouldn't be. Their record should stand on its own."
Colbert: "What if I were to tell you, you sound like you're in the pocket of Big Pharma. . . " Laughter and applause followed but no mention of his work for Merck.
Paul Offit must love coming on the Colbert Report. There was no pretense of balance here. This was an outrage and thousands of viewers felt it. Colbert and Offit have to hope that most people really are ignorant.
They're betting that viewers are impressed with an expert from CHOP who only wants to protect kids from dangerous diseases. The way they do it is by lying to us. It's that simple. This interview was a fraud.
There are now hundreds of peer-reviewed studies by well-credentialed experts linking vaccines to serious side effects--including autism. Colbert blamed celebrities.
There's the publicity of over 80 vaccine injury cases (most notably Hannah Poling) that included autism and were compensated by the federal government.
Offit has personally made millions of dollars from the development of a vaccine for rota virus. Colbert made a joke of Offit being in "the pocket of Big Pharma" without telling us why.
Offit described outbreaks of communicable diseases that he claimed were ended by vaccines. Colbert brought up autism only in denying any link to vaccines. Neither Stephen Colbert nor Paul Offit showed any interest in what autism is doing to our children.
Offit cited 20 studies showing disproving a link to autism. Colbert never asked about the pharma ties that exist for every one of those studies.
Offit can't figure out why 29 percent of Americans still believe in a link.
The answer to that is simple. We know every one of his lies. We've heard them all for years. What is really disgraceful here is that Stephen Colbert was willing to join him in the cover-up.

It's been a little over a month since the Colbert Report attack and now we have another one from the Daily Show.
Same message, much bigger attack on the credibility of the intelligent consumer, ridiculing and demonizing the educated as disease spreading idiots.
I 'love' Stephen Colbert. Although a diehard fan, I too was heartsick when I witnessed him spewing forth the immunization propaganda. I will acknowledge that his show is popular because of its rare breed of sarcasm and sensationalism. However, this topic and the misinformation is one that continues to inflict untold hardship on so many families. I tried to find a website where I could share more information with Colbert, but could not. If he were truly interested in the matter and open to discussion, I would tell him the following.
My youngest son, "A" inherited his father's digestive sensitivities (slight allergic responses to common foods and preservatives). My dearest friends' child, "M" has similar digestive sensitivities (slight but obvious reactions to common foods and preservatives). Both A & M displayed severe flu like symptoms within hours of receiving their MMR vaccinations. Both A & M were taken back to their pediatricians for treatment of the "flu like symptoms". Both A & M were placed on oral antibiotics. Both A & M stopped speaking within 24 hours of receiving the antibiotics. Both A & M were diagnosed with autism. Both A & M had intense early intervention. The incidents occurred six months apart, and treatment was administered by different pediatricians, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapist, neurologist, etc.
A & M are now 18 year old young men. A is entering college, a "typically functioning" honor student. He has received national awards for his presentation and speech skills. He is an exceptional young man. He has learned to monitor his food intake to control his digestive issues. We are definitely blesses beyond measure for many reasons, but chief among them is that he overcame his tragic autism diagnosis. M was recently institutionalized. Although a loving, handsome 18 year old young man, mentally he lingers at about the age of 2. His vocabulary is less than 40 words. He has chronic auto-immune deficiencies and digestive issues that tragically affect his life span. At 6' 2" and 180 pounds, his temper tantrums can inflict physical harm on his parents, siblings, and grandparents. No longer able to control his physical outbursts, his family was recently forced to admit him to a residential treatment facility. Fortunately, they were able to find and to afford a center specifically designed to attend to the needs of adolescents with autism.
What's my point? My friend and I know from experience that the MMR played a role in the onset of the symptoms of autism in both A & M. So did the "digestive sensitivities". So did the antibiotics. Yes, multiple factors each played their own part. The CDC, the US government, and the pharmaceutical companies refuse to publicly acknowledge this. Listen to their jargon and you will hear what they will not say, which is that multiple factors which include the introduction of the MMR to a subset of individuals have been linked to the onset of autism.
Just because triple vaccines are one of a few (or even many) factors, it is a lie to declare that they do not play a role. If the public and physicians were informed about the truth of the matter, then we would all be better equipped to make the right immunization choices for our children. Treat each individual as an "individual" with unique medical concerns. Make the separate vaccines (in lieu of triples or quadruples) available SOMEWHERE in the US for that subset of individuals. Parents would vaccinate their children, if they could simply find a safer alternative. Empower parents in lieu of depriving our country of the truth and of options.
Before someone errantly suggests I have the audacity to rely on my own less than scientific research, please talk to researchers at the Hussman Institute of Genomic Research. While attending a fund raiser at the Institute, I had the privilege of talking to a doctor and scientist who acknowledged that their research has proven what my friend and I have suspected for years. The introduction of the MMR to a subset of individuals with weakened immune and digestive systems is linked to the onset of autism.
What do I know for certain? (1) One should never mix vaccines and antibiotics. Never. Walk out of your pediatrician's office and never return if they try to administer both to your child. (2) Much of this debate can be ended by simply making separate vaccines available SOMEWHERE in the US. They are/were in production; however, that production is either halted or greatly diminished. Why? I have been told that parents are not trusted enough to bring their children in for one vaccine. The accusation is that if the vaccinations are separated, and three visits are required, then the children may never be appropriately vaccinated. The government does not trust parents. Also, I have been told that the pharmaceutical companies are allocating facilities that once produced these separate vaccinations to the production of drugs for our combat troops (to protect them from biological warfare). I understand this.
What I do not understand is why a viable solution, the availability of separate vaccines, is being crushed instead of being legislated! How very tragically sad, especially for M, my dear dear friend, and too many others who have suffered the same fate.
Fellow Victim;
Do you like Harry Potter?
Have you read those books?
Did it scare you how they reacted when he told everyone that Lord V was back- they put him on trial.
When you are young - it is hard to understand that these stories are not told in a vaccum --or think they would not happen now - cause we are all civilized and modern.
But a terrible injustice has been done to Dr. Wakefield.
It was not even a court of law - it was basically the Board of Doctors. When another co author of the paper saw how it turned out -- he made sure he went through an actually court of law and was found innocent. Dr. Waker-Smith.
12 children that the study was done on -- are called clinical case studies. -- a very common thing - if a research doctor sees a group of people with similiar conditions -- he will make a study of it - usually a small group -- that is suppose to open doors to larger studies.
In the case of Dr. Wakefield though -- he had opened something that was rotton and -- well you see - the love to put words and phrases together like freud, proven, Wakefield.
The world is a wicky place especially for the people trying to do right.
IT bothers me a lot that such an injustice was done to such a good man.
Funny how Brian Deer never mentions that Wakefield donated that 400,000 pounds to an initiative to build a wing at the Royal Free for the care and investigation of bowel disease. You'd think that would be important for his readers to know.
You can bet that if it hadn't been donated, Deer would have proclaimed it from the rooftops.
Beth Johnson, thank you for your very insightful comment, it definitely explains Colbert's not-so-funny authoritarian opinion.
Fellow Victim
Regarding the claims against Wakefield this may help:
PS Even if any of the stuff about Wakefield was true it wouldn't mean that vaccines don't cause encephalopathies or autism. That would certainly be faulty reasoning.
Sorry about the typing errors.
Fellow Victim! If you are truly interested in science, you would fo yourself and your brother a service by actually going into the science of mercury toxicity. For you information, it is a wide open fifeld because the pharmaceutical companies are avoiding it, and the funding for grants towards anything having to do with the effects of mercury is virtually non-existent. So, here is you chance to really find out what mercury does. You can start by reading the book "Age of Autism" by Olmsted/Blaxill. If that science is not good enough for you check out and do some serious research on what is known about mercury. The German chemist Alfred Stock wrote about dental amalgam and what it does to people. Read what I have found out about mercury. You can google my name and find out all about the knowledge I have gained by investigating the subject. Come back when you have truly studied the subject, and then I hope you understand why some of us are not in agreement with Dr. Offit. There is a problem when some old men on the Supreme Court decide that vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe" it becomes a reliabilty issue.
Thank-you, Benedetta, for being kind and respectful.You're right that I was very young when my brother was diagnosed. But he did not show any reaction to his vaccinations. I appreciate your concern and I wish you and your children the best.
To the rest of you: This is not "hate speech." That would implay that there was hate--there isn't any.
I don't have to sound ignorant to be 17 years old. And I AM 17. Don't stereotype the way I might act and respond, because each teenager has his or her own brain and character. And the fact that you just attack the fact that I am 17 shows that you have little defense for any of your other assertions. And I would have no motivation to pretend to be 17.
And you wanted specific points. Here's one: "Dr." Andrew Wakefield, who claims he found a connection between vaccines and autism has had his license revoked due to his illegimate science. The Lancet, where is paper was published, restracted his paper. In his experiment, only 12 subjects were involved. Some of those were never diagnosed as autistic. He was paid more that 435,000 pounds by a lawyer who had intended to file a lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers.
If you want my sources, let me know.
Fellow Victim
17 years old with a 13 year old brother -
Notice you were a small child when this happened.
As a mother of a now 28 year old son and a daughter now in her 30s-- I was a witness to many vaccine reactions. For my son I witnesse three severe and immediate reactions.
For my daughter it was much more sneaky and invisible.
I feel like I should warn you to be careful - please with your vaccines in the future, for they are coming your way.
So, you are not out of the woods or safe. You will have decisions to make about getting more vaccines in the future -it is a rather sneaky invisible, inflammation disease.
I too thought my daughter got by with the vaccines - She was very good in school --highly intelligent, but there were some health issues that over time have only grown worse. Add more vaccines (she did) and it is gas on a smoldering fire.
So, learn - protect yourself -- know it involves the whole body system; throwing up easily- or other GI problems, being irritable more than sad as in depression - bipolar and other mental illnesses, can be involved, it can involve your monthlies - your thyroid, or weight, anemia, on and on.
Most people don't know what a vaccine reaction is all about -- it is not just about the aftermath of a brain injury - autism.
Good Luck - and please pay attention and learn what to look for.
@Linda and Fellow victim:-
Yes- I got caught out once on Facebook by a 45 year old woman, posing as an autistic teenager. She was posting the most horrendous lies about Dr Wakefield. She soon cleared off, after I pointed out some people had recently been prosecuted for posting outrageous and litigious lies on social network sites. I tried to deal with her sensitively, until I found out the truth. Adult trolls posing as autistic youngsters, in order to defend the pharma industry, are beneath contempt.
It seems 'Fellow Victim' is not posing as a victim at all, but the 17 year old sister of a 13 year old boy with autism. I agree she does not write like a teenage girl, but then her response to Linda- quote -"You definitely could be wrong." rather gives the game away. A REAL teenage girl would surely have told Linda she WAS wrong!!
Fellow Victim
What's wrong with your comment is that it is just ad hominem - it is just hate speak unless you address specific points.
I take that kind of personally. You definitely could be wrong. And you definitely could be a little insulted that a 17 year old girl has more sense than you. Of course, since you're associated with this website, I can assume you're a conspiracist. You can go hide in your bunker and gather your canned food while the productive 3/4 of society (that don't think autism is caused by vaccinations) actively search for the real cause, which will lead to the real cure. You can't force vaccines to be the cause, when it is most logically a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Have a good day!
You know, I could write a comment claiming that I'm 17, but I wouldn't be fooling anyone because I don't write like a 17 year old... and neither do you. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
My 13 year old brother has Autism and I am 17 years old. This website you have here is full of inaccuracies. It saddens me that educated adults can support a theory that has been debunked by hundreds of scientists. There is no theory. It's just bologna elevated by the media. I wish just as much as any of you that autism can one day be cured, but I will not resort to hysteria. I am a supporter of science, not the pseudoscience on which you base your ideals. As demonstrated by hundreds of peer reviewed articles and by hundreds of legitimate scientific experiments (unlike Wakefield's nonsense), there is NO correlation between vaccines and the onset of autism. Parents should vaccinate there children because not doing so jeapordizes the welfare of not just their children, not just their families, but also society as a whole. I have researched this for months. It's personal for me too. My brother is dear to me and his autism is severe. He can never come near to living on his own. But explain how vaccination rates have decreased over 10% and yet autism rates are still increasing? Please, I am begging you, as a fellow victim of autism, to reconsider jeapordizing my future children. It's strange to say: "Well, little Joey died of the measles, but at least he wasn't AUTISTIC."
Also, a lot of what this website says about the interview between Colbert and Offit is extremely inaccurate and you know it! Open your eyes! If we can't trust scientists, who the hell do we expect to cure autism??? Your radical theories? Your ridiculous websites?
Colbert is the son of a physician. I think that plays into his opinion. I felt the same betrayal watching this segment as I did with Garry Trudeau, when I corresponded with him about this topic. GT is also from a long line of physicians. Doonesbury changed for me at that moment, I have never read it since.
Such a betrayal.
"You people make me sad. I will still feel bad for you when your children die of preventable diseases, though."
Do you realize that many AOA readers and contributors DID vaccinate and their children lost their health or life FROM vaccination?
Stephen Colbert is a full blown Big Pharma shill, making hateful 'joke' on Twitter during April Autism Awareness month (the 'comedic' timing was not lost on autism parents).
"Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome · Apr 28
Who needs vaccines? Many American heroes were never vaccinated. Off the top of my head: FDR. Wait… bad example.
11:51 PM - 28 Apr 2014"
Who would thought, Colbert would be bought?!
You people make me sad. I will still feel bad for you when your children die of preventable diseases, though.
I actually agree with Jeanette, it seemed that Colbert was against the pro vaccine stance. He was kinda subtle because if not he would be character assassinated in the media. He said shouldn't parents be able to do what they want with their own children.
We definitely need to educate Colbert. I would love to see more men doing the education this time. It's easy for our society to denigrate Jenny McCarthy, the "buxom blonde", and to consider even well reasoned comments made by women to be hysterical and emotional. It's a fact of life in our society, and I do notice pro-vaccine commenters taking advantage of that fact. Moms who have given up their jobs to care for their children are the likely commenters because that's part of the job we have taken on. Maybe we should all comment using male names. Just a thought.
Paul Offit acknowledges that an allergic reaction to a vaccine component such as gelatin can be serious. (Such allergic reactions seem to be the only vaccine-related adverse effects that he will concede.) But people are often allergic to thimerosal, the mercury-containing component still in flu vaccines (among others). What would be the effect of injecting this allergen into a person's body if that person would have an allergic reaction simply from skin contact? What happens if you inject it, say, monthly or yearly? Will that person perhaps become more allergic? The following study is talking about prevalence of allergy to certain substances.
"Ours is the first study to compile the entire corpus of published T.R.U.E. Test data and to examine these data using meta-analytic techniques. The meta-analysis shows that nickel (14.7% of tested patients), thimerosal (5.0%), cobalt (4.8%), fragrance mix (3.4%), and balsam of Peru (3.0%) are the most prevalent allergens. The 5 least prevalent allergens are paraben mix (0.5%), black rubber mix (0.6%), quaternium-15 (0.6%), quinoline mix (0.7%), and caine mix (0.7%). By contrast, North American Contact Dermatitis Data Group (NACDG) data show that the 5 most prevalent allergens are nickel (14.3%), fragrance mix (14%), neomycin (11.6%), balsam of Peru (10.4%), and thimerosal (10.4%). NACDG data indicate that the prevalence of allergy to cobalt is 9.2%."
Stephen Colbert's guest last night, Dr. Paul Offit owns patents on vaccines and profits from them, something he never mentioned. He's a charming fellow but entirely dishonest. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has so far paid out over a billion dollars to parents of children injured or killed by vaccines. How could that happen if vaccines are "safe"? The Senate held hearings on Thimerosol during which it was revealed that this form of mercury is a potent neurotoxin. Yet it is still found in vaccines, along with other potent toxins. Vaccine manufacturers managed to get immunity from lawsuits while claiming vaccines are safe.Paul Offit is the wrong person to give the Colbert bump to!
I don't blame Colbert, as he is just ill informed. He's shown the necessary courage to oppose injustices he was aware of (fracking, corruption, etc). It's our job now to bring the facts to his awareness.
Stephen Colbert went from my "On Notice" board to "Your Dead to Me" board.
I watched the segment. Colbert is swallowing the lie whole. Everyone needs to write to the Colbert Report to explain the fallacy behind the statement that vaccines provide "longer, better lives".
And how many deaths are there a year from properly prescribed pharmaceuticals? Manufactured by the same companies that bring us vaccines? Aren't properly prescribed pharmaceuticals the third leading cause of death in America? How about the $2.8 billion paid to vaccine victims? Longer, better lives? Please write to let them know. Don't let this slide. Mr. Colbert and his staff need to be educated on the facts.
One other thing...those shows typically have neon signs that tell the audience when to applaud.
I also see that there is a comment section beneath the episode at the posted link - no comments yet.
From the beginning declaration of I'm "anti-disease" with the sarcastic pointing out of how he wasn't going to lose any "sponsors" over this stand to the end if you're going to "play" the live better, longer lives "card" (a major correlation with vaccine use I would love to see pharma back with some good science), well I'm not sure Colbert himself actually endorsed vaccines except for the correlation of having Offit on his show--and maybe I'm just projecting something, but I keep seeing irksome hints of awareness emanating off most MSM personalities that there really is a problem with the vaccine program, no matter what they actually say--and I was left saddened by my awareness that the longer, better lives part isn't really panning out in my family, and I'm not sure vaccine promoters will be able to get away with making that claim in ten years or so.
Honestly, I think you're all misreading Colbert. I believe he's secretly on our side, and he's sending that message subtly and surreptitiously.
Remember, he has regularly and scathingly satirized the drug industry. ("Prescott Pharmaceuticals: Our patients expire but not our patents"). Remember also he's a devout Catholic who mercilessly lampoons the Catholic Church. I think he's very good at feigning piety while cleverly subverting authority. The network execs would never allow him to openly question vaccines, but there are ways around that.
So Colbert may appear to be supporting Offit, but read between the lines. In this segment he notes that there have been outbreaks of measles and rubella, but suggests the cause may be the decreasing effectiveness of vaccines. He says that the rise in autism coincided with the increased vaccination schedule. He says many of those vaccines contained thimerosal, and shows a thimerosal bottle with a skull and crossbones. He asks why, if there's no science supporting a link between vaccines and autism, 29% of the American people believe there is such a link. All this is bound to plant a lot of disturbing questions in viewers' minds.
He even suggests that Offit is an agent of Big Pharma. That line got some applause -- true, not as much applause as Offit got, but at a rough estimate, I'd say it was applauded by 29% of his studio audience.
And best of all, Offit never suspected what was up.
Yeah, except, Benedetta, Colbert has a huge young following that has zero frame of reference for infectious diseases that we all had. All they know are the lies they're being spoon fed around the clock. To have Colbert, a brilliant trusted icon, participate in the propaganda, is really very bad.
Offit's camp up until now has relied on their authoritarian power to put forth their message of universal forced compliance with vaccination cradle to grave. Their stance has been that ordinary people can't grasp science, that we all need to follow the scientists' recommendations (those chosen by Offit's camp at the Vaccine Dinner Club, or course) for the good of society, without questioning. Up until now they have ridiculed celebrities, especially blonde female celebrities, who have an opinion that doesn't align with their own. With that strategy failing miserably since people do not trust the medical profession, it appears that they are now resorting to finding their own celebrity spokespersons, with the difference being that the celebrities who have come forward to question vaccines, have done so sincerely on their own. They are individuals who have been moved by their own life experience to speak out and they just happen to be celebrities. Where as it is so obvious that Colbert was put up to this. It was an act, a segment of a show. This isn't (I hope) a personal cause of his because it has touched his life. How Colbert, who really is an extraordinarily brilliant man, could have agreed to cooperate, is beyond my comprehension.
I was actually glad to see Offit on Colbert's show again. It's proof that the truth about the dangers of vaccines is getting out there. Big Pharma is losing--and losing a lot of money. The anti-vaccine movement is more than just about protecting our children and demanding real science, not scientism. It's about standing for the truth no matter how much the system oppresses us. We're winning!
Tick tock...if he is a true believer in vaccines, and his 3 kids have received/will receive the full battery of vaccines, there is a good chance his children are already vaccine-injured, and he just hasn't made the connection yet. (It's not just autism, Steven, it's diabetes 1, seizure disorders, tics, speech and language disorders, asthma, food allergies, some of which are life threatening, childhood cancer, GI issues, learning and behavioral issues, bowel problems, the list goes on, and I'm betting at least one of your kids has at least one of these issues if they've truly received all of the CDC's recommended vaccines). If not, it's just a matter of time.
Vaccines are immune and nervous system time bombs, and with the amount of vaccines his kids have been injected with (assuming he's not lying and assuming his wife is on the same page and following doctor's orders in the vaccine department), they have already been adversely affected. Each and every vaccine does some level of damage internally, you just can't see it externally, and symptoms might not be immediate. To make matters worse, vaccines have synergistic and cumulative effects which can be very severe. There will most likely be more damage to come as their vaccinations continue, and as they're exposed to more pesticides and toxic chemicals, and eating GMO foods...next up might be fertility and mental health issues, along with the long list I already provided. And time will tell what damage they will pass on to their children, as some of what we've seen the past 2-3 decades is no doubt also a result of the vaccines we received and the havoc they wreaked on our immune and nervous systems.
So, Steven, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but should you look with a more educated and discerning eye, you will see that you've been duped. You will sorely regret your words, your tone, your blind trust in a corrupt system and corrupt individuals, the hurt you inflicted on many of your viewers...and most especially, you will regret beyond belief that which you allowed to be injected into your children by a "doctor" who took an oath to "First, do no harm".
Linda, I agree with you that Goliath is going to get real nasty, attempting to pull out all the stops, now that the word is out. Perhaps unrelated, I would like to pass on the article from the Toronto Star stating that half of elementary principals at one time have told parents to keep their autistic kids at home because there is not enough support for them. The article also explains that over the past decade, special education funding has increased by 67 per cent, to $2.72 billion. This statement really does speak to your argument Anne. Why the increase if autistic kids have always been amongst us -- just misdiagnosed as 'quirky'? Surely these 'quirky' kids would have also needed special education services.
Bad press, good press - is still press.
Autism (whatever the heck that is) and the word vaccine is linked - together -- Offit - Colbert -- good job.
Fu€k Colbert and PrOffit! Autism is no laughing matter.
I was shocked and disappointed when my son turned this on this morning. To make this into a joke and get people laughing about it is beyond disgusting. Colbert just lost a fan.
They aren't fooling anybody. More people all the time are questioning.
Offit on Colbert going for the collective American jugular. Not surprising. I wonder where he(they) will pop up next.
And this is all, no doubt, to fight back against the upcoming much publicized release of "Bought" and the recently released "Just a Trace". Goliath is pounding his fist all over the place.

Altmyer presents at regional
economic education conference - top
Don Altmyer, associate
professor in the College of Business and Technology and director for the
Center for Economic Education at BHSU, presents a financial
responsibility session to teachers and administrators from the Standing
Rock Reservation and Cheyenne River Reservation school districts. The
session was a part of the "Economics, Entrepreneurship and Economic
Development Regional Teacher Education Conference" held recently at
Sitting Bull College in Fort Yates, N.D.
Don Altmyer, associate professor in the College of Business and
Technology and director for the Center for Economic Education at Black
Hills State University, recently presented a financial responsibility
session at the "Economics, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development
Regional Teacher Education Conference" at Sitting Bull College in Fort
Yates, N.D.
Over 30 teachers and administrators from the Standing Rock
Reservation and Cheyenne River Reservation school districts attended the
conference to learn how to integrate basic economic, entrepreneurship
and economic development material into a variety of grade levels and
Altmyer's workshop, "Learning, Earning and Investing," emphasized
investing and accumulating wealth over the long term. The presentation
included investment terminology, risk, investment alternatives,
liquidity, return on investment and diversification. Altmyer also
demonstrated several online interactive classroom activities and lesson
plans for grades four through twelve. The lesson plans conform to
national standards in economics, mathematics and personal finance.
Keynote speaker Ron His Horse is Thunder, a direct descendant of
Sitting Bull and a 1985 graduate of BHSU who is now president of Sitting
Bull College, highlighted the need for creating new businesses on the
reservations. "The reservations need more businesses started by the
residents to keep sales dollars on the reservations and use the dollar
multiplier to lift quality of life of the community members. The best
way to accomplish this goal is to educate our elementary, middle school
and high school reservation students in the areas of entrepreneurship,
economics and personal finance."
The workshop program also included "Economic Reasoning and
Entrepreneurship," presented by economics professor Dr. Robert Reinke
and entrepreneurship professor Dr. Robert Tosterud, both from the
University of South Dakota, and "Economic Development," presented by
Clinton Jumping Eagle Waara, vice president of Wells Fargo Bank in Sioux
The conference was co-sponsored by the Centers for Economic Education
at Black Hills State University and the University of South Dakota, the
South Dakota Council on Economic Education and Wells Fargo Bank.
The Center for Economic Education (CEE) at BHSU, affiliated with the
National Council on Economic Education, provides economic education
programs and training workshops for South Dakota's K-12 teachers. The
center's main program is the South Dakota Stock Market Game, an online
stock market simulation held during the fall and spring school terms.
The 10-week spring 2005 stock market game will begin Feb. 14. For more
information, visit the CEE web page at
The CEE will host a free "Learning, Earning and Investing" workshop
for middle school and high school teachers Saturday, March 19 on the

BHSU celebrates 50 years with
national accreditation agency - top
As one of the founding members of the National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the College of Education at
Black Hills State University takes pride in celebrating NCATE's 50th
BHSU is one of three universities in South Dakota that have had
continuous accreditation since NCATE's inception. BHSU was among 283
institutions nationwide that joined NCATE when it was founded in 1954 by
the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, the National
Education Association, and three other organizations.
The College of Education at BHSU was most recently reviewed in March
2003, at which time the College of Education met all of NCATE's
standards and was fully approved for national accreditation for the next
seven years.
NCATE is a national accrediting agency that holds institutions with
teacher education preparation programs to a high level of
accountability. Through the process of professional accreditation of
schools, colleges and departments of education, NCATE works to make a
difference in the quality of teaching and teacher preparation today,
tomorrow, and for the next century.
NCATE's performance-based system of accreditation fosters the
development of competent classroom teachers and other educators who work
to improve the education of all preschool through 12th grade students.
According to Dr. David Calhoon, dean of the College of Education at
BHSU, NCATE believes every student deserves a caring, competent, and
highly qualified teacher.
Today, NCATE is sustained by 35 member organizations representing the
entire education profession and millions of Americans who have come
together to strengthen quality in teacher preparation. For more
information about BHSU visit www.bhsu.edu.

BHSU students featured in
South Dakota Magazine -
Several Black Hills State University students are
profiled in the most recent issue of South Dakota Magazine.
BHSU students Tricia Beringer, a junior biology major
from Spearfish, and Gus Karinen, a senior mass communications major from
Spearfish, as well as Justin Koehler, a recent mass communications
graduate from Midland, are included in a special higher education
section of the January/February 2005 issue of the magazine.
Beringer, who plans to go on to medical school when
she graduates from BHSU, recently interrupted her university plans to
serve with the 842nd National Guard Unit in Iraq. She says the military
interruption actually increased her academic focus, her dedication to
her class work and her goal of helping people as a medical doctor or
physician's assistant.
Karinen and Koehler are in the final stages of
producing a full-length feature film that emerged from a short story
written for an English class when the two were undergraduates living in
a BHSU residence hall. The duo are co-directors for the original
independent film "10:15 Salem Park" which was filmed primarily in
Spearfish and includes several scenes on the BHSU campus.
The student profiles were among several submitted by
the University Communications office at BHSU. South Dakota Magazine,
which has been published for 20 years, has approximately 35,000 paid
subscribers and an estimated 150,000 readers. According to the
publisher, the magazine features the towns, people, stories and images
that define South Dakota.

|Goldenstein falls in love with I Hate Collection
|Written by Darci Tomky
|Wednesday, 30 July 2014 10:48
A love-hate relationship. That's what could describe Ron Goldenstein's new business venture, the I Hate Collection.
Thirty years ago, Goldenstein fell in love with the "I spade" concept, and the idea has been brewing in his mind ever since.
Now, after almost four more years of stewing over the notion of turning his idea into a business, his patience has paid off.
"I hate," or "I spade." Just like a red heart symbol has been used to represent love (Remember those I heart New York T-shirts?), the black spade symbol is used to represent hate.
Goldenstein has always played a lot of card games, and he said the spade symbol generally has a dark connotation, "but this is meant to be lighthearted."
"I Hate Mondays," and "I Hate Housework," are two of the featured sayings in the I Hate Collection. Others include mornings, politics, my boss, my computer, broccoli, winter and taxes.
The concept is a positive, upbeat means of expressing mutual dislike of certain things, situations and objects people all encounter in their everyday lives.
If someone loves to hate mornings, they can show that off with a T-shirt or mug with "I Spade Mornings" printed on it for the world to see.
The "I spade" symbol must always be black, but a variety of T-shirt colors are offered in the I Hate Collection, as well as white mugs.
Customers can even customize their own "I Spade" saying to express their own personal feelings and viewpoints, subject to approval by Goldenstein.
Minimum orders of 12 can be placed on Goldenstein's new website, www.ihatecollection.com, which opens Aug. 1. Pricing will also become available on that date.
"I'm really excited because it's been almost four years," said Goldenstein. He's not expecting a lot to start with, but he knows the popularity of a product can spread quickly.
"It's kind of like the flu virus," said Goldenstein. "It'll start slow and grow. I'm hoping in 5-10 years, it will be recognized everywhere."
The "I spade" symbol on mugs and T-shirts is a lighthearted way to say "I Hate Homework!" or "I Hate Computers!" The products are available through Goldenstein Promotions LLC's I Hate Collection online at www.ihatecollection.com. —Enterprise photo
Idea is 30 years in the making
Three decades ago, Goldenstein sat in a college business course, which was covering the concept of volume sales. The instructor noted that the best way to make money in marketing was to develop a product or idea that would appeal to masses of people.
"His reasoning was that if you could market and sell an item by the hundreds of thousands, even though your profit on an individual item was small, the end result would be a high overall return," said Goldenstein on his website.
His "I spade" concept was one idea that fit this criteria.
Meanwhile, this idea continued to brew when Goldenstein returned to his hometown of Holyoke to begin his 28-year career as manager/president-CEO at Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union.
He sharpened his business skills and learned to wear many hats at the credit union. He became proficient in all lending activities, collections, investments, accounting, working with and maintaining strong relationships with state auditors and federal examiners, keeping up with technological advances and managing employees.
When he started in 1985, Goldenstein was one of two employees. At his retirement in 2013, there were 14 total employees at two offices, one in Holyoke and now one in Imperial, Neb.
In approximately 2001, this businessman put his "I spade" idea on paper, which he took to Colver & Killin, a law firm in Holyoke, to be sealed, signed and dated. The envelope stayed with Dave Colver and Kim Killin for safekeeping.
About two years later, Goldenstein saw an ad about the process of registering trademarks. Unfortunately, he learned it would not be possible to obtain a registered trademark for the "I spade" symbol.

I'm looking for a way to get versioning informations out of my SSRS reports. I have several environments and would like to be able to compare which report version is deployed on these environments. In SSIS this is very easy because each SSIS package gets a new version when it was modified and safed. Is there something similiar with the reports ?
Unfortunately there currently is no built-in functionality similar to a dll assembly version for RDL files.
The only way to get some kind of version information is to query the last modified date of the RDL file on the server via C# or VB.Net. You could do this using the ReportingServices webservice.
You could also implement a custom function which updates some field in your database to the current date each time the RDL file modified.
The problem with all the file modified information: You still don't know which version is on which server, you just know when it was uploaded/modified.
See the following pages for some more information - unfortunately no solution:
In my reports, I create a variable named Version and make it a string data type (and move it to the top of the variable list). Every time I change a report, I update the Version variable based on Semantic Versioning.
Then, I can query my Report Server and look at the Parameter field of the ExecutionLog table and I can see what version was run. Technically I take care of all of this in an SSIS job that writes to another table, but that's a little outside the scope here.

June 10, 2009
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Washington State University had four competitors advance among the seven who competed Wednesday, the first day of the 2009 NCAA Div. I Track & Field Championships. Inclement weather that included rain and lightning at John McDonnell Field on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, caused a weather delay that began at 5 p.m. Pacific Time with four field events qualifying rounds and six track races semifinals left to be contested. Competition resumed at 8:15 p.m. PT with the final event of the day, the men's 5000m, expected to begin at 12:40 a.m. Central Time.
The final first round event held Wednesday night before the storm hit were the five heats of the men's 400m hurdles. Jeshua Anderson (sophomore, Woodland Hills, Calif.), the defending NCAA champion, won his heat and had the third-fastest time of the first round at 50.12 seconds. Barry Leavitt (senior, Benton City, Wash.) ran a season-best 50.55 seconds for second place in his heat to qualify automatically. Leavitt's time was the ninth-fastest overall.
Marissa Tschida (sophomore, Missoula, Mont.) threw the javelin 168-feet, 6 inches (51.36m) which was the fifth-best among the two flights of qualifying and Tschida advanced to the Friday final.
Two-time All-American high jumper Trent Arrivey (junior, Woodinville, Wash.) cleared both bars on his first attempt in the qualifying round Wednesday night. Arrivey managed the wet runway surface well and cleared 6-8 3/4 (2.05m) and 6-10 3/4 (2.10m). The opening height of the bar for the Friday final will be 6-10 3/4 (2.10m) for the 12 finalists.
Two Cougars competed but did not advance from first round races. Justin Woods (senior, Buena Vista, Calif.) ran a 100m dash prelim time of 10.35 seconds, fifth in his heat and the 19th overall, just missing moving to the 18-man semifinal by 2/100s second. Woods will run in the men's 200m dash first round Thursday evening.
As the women's intermediate hurdles first round heats began, the skies darkened and the rain began. Lorraine King (senior, Fontana, Calif.) ran a 400m hurdles prelim time of 58.99, fifth in her heat and 22nd overall with the top 18 moving on to the semifinal.
Sam Ahlbeck (junior, Renton, Wash.) ran a PR time in the 3000m steeplechase semifinals of 8:49.88 to finish 17th overall and only a little over one second away from a top 14 spot and a position in the final.
The competition continues Thursday with six WSU participants seeing action.

Fed To Prompt Currency Crash and Return to Gold Standard
Gold's 1.3% gain yesterday was its biggest one-day gain in three months, as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's defense of U.S. debt monetisation confirmed bullion's inflation hedging appeal.
'Helicopter Bernanke' confirmed the Fed's ultra dovish monetary policies are to continue which supported gold as a hedge against central banks' cash printing.
Gold is trading flat today near a one and a half week high hit yesterday as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the U.S. ultra loose monetary policy.
The selloff in gold ETFs in February underscores the weakness in gold sentiment among retail investors that has been prominent recently.
Our trading desk has never been so busy – on the sell side - as weak hands and lack of conviction buyers have engaged in panic selling.
However, the sell off's genesis was again hedge fund and bank paper players on the COMEX many of whom still have large concentrated short positions.
Total Known ETF Holdings of Gold – (Bloomberg)
February is set to be the weakest month in terms of gold ETF outflows thus far, and the decline is set to exceed the 2.3 million ounces liquidated back in January 2011.
Total known gold holdings held by exchange traded funds worldwide include the SPDR, ETF Securities, ZKB, iShares, Swiss & Global, Central Fund, Credit Suisse, Source, New Gold, Sprott Gold, Deutsche Bank, Central Goldtrust, Claymore (now iShares), and Goldist.
It is important to note that despite the significant decline in gold holdings in January 2011, gold bottomed at $1,313/oz on January 27, 2011 and then embarked on its nearly 50% increase or $600 increase to record nominal highs above $1,900/oz.
World powers and Iran ended two-days of talks over the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear program with a pledge to hold further discussions at both technical and political levels, an Iranian official said.
The officials adjourned without an announcement on a proposal by the U.S. and its partners to ease some banking, petrochemical and gold sanctions if Iran curbs its atomic activities.
Gold in USD (February 2010 To Today) - Support At $1,540/oz to $1,550/oz Level – (Bloomberg)
Jim Grant, astute monetary economist and respected author of the Interest Rate Observer said in a Bloomberg interview overnight that the dollar would crash and a new Gold Standard would be the end result of the U.S. Federal Reserve's irresponsibilities.
Although the interviewer said that Grant's remarks were inflammatory Grant said that it is important to examine our monetary affairs over the sweep of time.
"Over 100 years ago the U.S. Fed was founded and in 1944 at Bretton Woods they decided there would be no more Gold Standard but rather a U.S. dollar that was backed by gold. If you fast forward to the present we now have a full blown PhD standard where the former heads of Economic Departments are running federal institutions. Central Banks across the world are waging an all out struggle against the price mechanism which is going against Adam Smith's invisible hand."
A guest host said that no one in academia is calling for a Gold Standard and suggested it would result in a deflationary period for the U.S.
Grant disagreed and said that the Gold Standard is the only answer as it was monetary system good practice for the 100 years ending in 1914, whereas everything else since has been a "try out".
Grant says that he expects more quantitative easing from the U. S. Fed, and likens their single mindedness to a doctor prescribing to a patient that is clearly overmedicated.
He notes, credit in the world is an infinite sum of numerous simultaneous equations. He notes that if humans knew how to allocate credit than the USSR would have been a success. Socialists unions over manipulating credit don't work.
Therefore, just as central banks are continually try to print their way out of our current global debt crisis their manipulation is not working.

Banker-criminals allocating credit to their tycoon 'friends' doesn't work either, this is the regime we're stuck with.
True Believers think Jesus multiplied loaves and fishes, market cultists believe something similar about multiplying capital. The presumption is incorrect: on a finite planet, markets misprice capital, which doesn't multiply anything, it subtracts instead.
The free markets have subtracted the world to the edge of the abyss, please stop before you succeed!

"The history of currencies is unambiguous." -Jim Grant
Declining ETF gold holdings, are bullish, as they denote great avidity for physical gold, which forces GLD to disgorge its gold in order to put out fires elsewhere. Past inventory declines were followed by rallies. This is explained here
The last time (from 05/03/2011 to 05/09/2011) we encountered five days of declining inventories in a row, GLD made an intermediate bottom (5/5/2011 at 143.47), and a powerful rally ensued in the next three months which brought GLD to 174.58 on 08/10/2011 (a gain of 21.68%)., Furthermore, the 5 days in a row inventory "puke" experienced from 05/03/2011 to 05/09/2011 only involved 22.54 tonnes, whereas the current drain exceeds 50 tonnes. Thus, the severity of the current "puke" is not to be underestimated.
FOFOA has convincingly argued that the dollar cannot return to the gold standard. FOA has argued that only a very strong currency with plenty of natural resources could support a gold 'backed' currency. It seems more likely that gold will reenter the monetary system on the balance sheet as opposed to it being used as it was in the gold standard or the gold exchange standard. This is how the Euro is structured.
When one considers the impact of re-introducing gold backing to a dying currency (the dollar) it becomes obvious that this cannot be a rational plan. I believe the Fed knows this and gold bugs should study this issue.
Physical gold is the winner in either case.
America doesn't have plenty of natural resources?!?!? Physical always win, yes.
I must admit, I completely do not understand the fondness of FOFOA, an ostensible advocate of gold and sound money, for the euro, which is as fiat a currency as has ever existed. The euro is in NO way different from, nor superior to, any other fiat currency, as it is not backed by gold in any way, shape or form, nor has even the slightest connection or ties to the price or value of gold. Fiat is fiat is fraud, and FOFOA's hard-on for the euro is one of several reasons why I am skeptical of him and his entire Freegold thesis (his turgid and tedious verbosity does not help his cause, either).
I believe this is the piece (5 parts not 4)
I'm pretty sure that is the correct piece. If not I'll respond in whatever forum I see you next.
Ari's writing was a real turning point for me in reading FOFOA. As you may not know FOFOA does not purport to have his own understanding of gold. He says he is just trying to understand the writing of Another and FOA from the USA Gold forum and Kitko forum of 1997 to 2001. That said I believe he has made significant contributions of his own. (He does a wonderful job on Marx in Debtors and Savers.)
If you read FOFOA I think you will find the fondness is not for the currency but for the structure (gold on the balance sheet MARKED TO MARKET. Another reason is the without the Euro the world would have no reserve currency. the Euro provides a potential if the dollar fails.
Finally I suggest you read Aristotle's 4 part piece on why gold NEEDS fiat to perform. He said it better than I ever could.
I'll try to find the page for you.

"February is set to be the weakest month in terms of gold ETF outflows thus far, and the decline is set to exceed the 2.3 million ounces liquidated back in January 2011."
Comparing your statement with the plot of US Mint demand versus price on ZH yesterday implies that sellers of gold ETFs decided to take possession of their non-currency, barbaric relic.
Another way of destroying price mechanismsThai Bankruptcies Rise as Minimum Wage Rolls Out: Southeast Asia
"Confederate International Co., a Thai family-owned maker of nightwear, lost a German customer of 22 years after last month's minimum-wage increase in the Southeast Asian nation raised costs.
"They stopped talking to us, even though we have done business together for a long time," said Veerayuth Sookhattako, 57, owner of the Chiang Mai-based company that ships about 80 million baht ($2.7 million) of apparel to Germany and France each year. "I established this company 28 years ago. I don't want to let it go, but I may need to close down our business by the end of the year if we can't get new orders."
Veerayuth isn't alone. Last quarter, 7,221 Thai companies closed down, 27 percent higher than in the same period a year earlier, when the worst floods in 70 years swamped most of the country. The figure is also more than double the average of 3,000 in the previous nine years, according to data from the National Economic & Social Development Board."
Grant: "dollar would crash, and a new gold standard would result."
Interviewer: "Grant's remarks were inflammatory..."
Why inflammatory? Is not continually cranking up the currency printing inflammatory?
Useless interviewer. Another "talking head." Empty between the ears!
Below is the whole Jim Grant interview. When the "economist" Mike McKee replies to these "inflamatory" remarks the happy little airheaded blonde bopsie doll Sara Eisen says something like "Yea defend the Fed Mike." Those statists are there for propaganda to retort against common sense.

I have a Zimbra Document page that contains links to a lot of PDF files.
My problem is this -- if the user has Adobe Reader browser plugin installed (for FF or IE) , the links do nothing when clicked.
If the user doesn't have the browser plugin enabled, then the browser will prompt them to save or open the file, but this is not the default setup.
However, they can right-click save as on the link, but this is not a perfect solution.
In short, this is making Zimbra Documents not a viable solution for distributing PDF files.
For testing, I sent an email with a link to a PDF and it opens it just fine. So this problem only occurs with a Zimbra document, and links to PDF files in an email message work just fine.
I tried changing the link to have a different target (like target="_blank"), but it turns out that Zimbra already adds target="_blank" to all links in Document page, and I can't find a way to alter this, but I'm not 100% sure if this is even the root of the problem.
Again, links to PDF files in an email message open as expected. I looked at the HTML source for the email message, and it appears that the links do include a target="_blank" attribute (just like with Documents).
I'm assuming the problem has something to do with how a Zimbra Document page is served within the Zimbra Web Client.
Could someone assist me in "hacking" Documents to fix this problem?
Update: I found a server level fix for the problem, but I don't know how to implement it with Zimbra. See posts below.

Millions impacted by final state budget deals
SACRAMENTO The key pieces of the state budget deal involve services that touch many lives, from college aid to child care assistance to health care. But the final shape of the budget and its impact won't be known until voters decide whether to increase taxes in November.
Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders announced the agreement Thursday, addressing the final issues to bridge California's $15.7 billion budget gap in the $92 billion spending plan.
College affordability and access
The budget proposal slices financial aid, known as Cal Grants. But how much depends on the type of college.
In a victory for colleges, the deal preserves primary Cal Grant funding for community colleges and public universities.
Grants for students attending private colleges, such as the University of San Diego, will be gradually reduced, but not next year, according to Assemblyman Marty Block, D-San Diego, and chair of the Higher Education Committee.
Details are still sketchy. But Block suggested the maximum grant will be reduced to $9,000 in 2012-13 for those students and then to $8,560 in 2014-2015.
That's down from the current cap of $9,708 but better than the once-discussed limit of $5,500.
Hardest hit will be the private, for-profit universities considered "under performing." Those are institutions where graduation rates are low and tuition loan defaults high. New students will not be eligible for a Cal Grant starting this fall. Those who have been attending classes will receive aid for just one more year and will no longer be eligible in fall 2013.
University of San Diego President Mary Lyons said Cal Grants are "one of the best investments California taxpayers can make" and opposed steep cuts.
"Everyone understands the difficulties we are in as a state. We understand the only way to get out of these difficulties California is facing is taking the long view through education.
The budget deal also would set aside $50 million for community colleges to enroll more students, but that is contingent on voters approving tax hikes in November.
Constance Carroll, chancellor of the San Diego Community College District, said 20,000 students have been turned away this year. The additional money would allow the system to admit 9,000 more applicants in the spring.
"This is an investment that benefits student, not institutions, not labor agreements. It has a direct benefit students, which is something that should be our top priority," Carroll said.
Child care
The proposed reduction of 8.7 percent is a "huge improvement" over early discussions that centered on a cutting funds by about a third, according to providers.
Still, the impact will ripple through programs like those provided by the Child Care Resource Center at the YMCA of San Diego County.
"It's important to remember that people may call them 'slots,' but it's really about children losing care," said Debbie Macdonald, executive director of the program.
She warned that there will be a domino effect that could ripple through lives and the economy.
"It's not just the child losing child care," Macdonald said.
Parents who do not have child care may be forced to quit their job and may have to go on welfare, she said.
Also, smaller centers may have to close, costing jobs and sending parents scrambling, she said.
The YMCA center has had to drop 1,095 slots since July 2011 and could lose another 325 slots if the 8.7 percent trim is signed into law, she said. It now serves 3,592 children.
Sen. Juan Vargas, D-San Diego, said he was won over to support the budget when the reductions in child care were narrowed to $80 million instead of $450 million initially proposed by Brown.

Big Sky High School student Zack Plasmier tells NBC Montana he had a tattoo done Thursday to honor his best friend Diren Dede.
Prosecutors say Markus Kaarma laid a trap to catch would-be burglars and shot Dede after he entered his garage. He's charged with deliberate homicide.
Plasmier tells NBC Montana that he played soccer with Dede. His tattoo includes a Turkish flag, with Dede's birthdate, and the day he died. The tattoo is located above Plasmier's heart.
"It's my first one and I just wanted it to be memorable for my best friend, Diren. I just will always remember him," said Plasmier.

Among other provisions, the draft, which was obtained by Reuters, sets a 60-day limit on U.S. military action in Syria, with a possibility of a single 30-day extension subject to conditions.
Obama is asking Congress to back his call for limited U.S. strikes on Syria to punish President Bashar al-Assad for his suspected use of chemical weapons against civilians during a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people.
The compromise deal reached by Senator Robert Menendez, the Democratic chairman of the panel, and Senator Bob Corker, the top Republican, includes a provision banning any use of U.S. armed forces on the ground in Syria, according to the draft document.
It requires Obama to consult with Congress and submit to the Senate and House of Representatives foreign relations panel a strategy for negotiating a political settlement to the Syria conflict, including a review of all forms of assistance to the rebels fighting to oust Assad.
This is a provision requested by several senators, including the influential Republican John McCain.
If Obama wants to extend the authorization, he can request a single 30-day extension if he certifies to Congress, no later than five days before the authorization terminates, that an extension is necessary, and if Congress does not pass a resolution disapproving the extension.
"Together we have pursued a course of action that gives the president the authority he needs to deploy force in response to the Assad regime's criminal use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people, while assuring that the authorization is narrow and focused, limited in time, and assures that the Armed Forces of the United States will not be deployed for combat operations in Syria," Menendez said in a statement.
If the draft is approved by the committee on Wednesday, it will be sent to the full Senate for a vote after members return on Sept. 9 from their August recess.
The House of Representatives must also pass its own version of the military authorization and the two must be reconciled before they can be submitted for Obama's signature.
The House Armed Services Committee is holding a hearing on Syria at noon on Wednesday. Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will all testify.

Right now I make triple what my husband makes and it really bothers me a lot. He does not make enough to support the family on his own and he has been stuck at the same salary pretty much since graduating college about six years ago.
I really want to be a stay at home mom or at least work part time because working full time and then taking care for our daughter in the evening (he works evenings) is really taking it's toll on me. We cut our bills down a lot but he has significant amounts of student loan plus we live in a high cost of living area.
Over the past year I've started to resent him a lot over this. I'm trying to stop feeling this way because it starts a lot of arguments. However it bothers me a lot. He refuses to look for a better paying job because he says the economy is bad. Should I be taking a different outlook on this?
