COSTELLO: Thirty-four minutes past the hour. Good morning to you. A different kind of protest in show of solidarity for occupy protesters in California. They held a vigil last night for an Iraq war veteran who was seriously injured during a clash with Oakland police on Tuesday. Protesters say Scott Olsen is hospitalized, but -- he's in serious but stable condition after a police projectile fractured his skull.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I know that many of you are standing for the same things that Scott stands for. So, please, hold him in light, hold some really positive thinking around believing that he is going to fully recover and continue to struggle alongside us.</s>RUTH MADOFF, BERNIE MADOFF'S WIFE: I don't know whose idea it was, but we decided to kill ourselves because it was so horrendous what was happening. We had terrible phone calls, hate mail, just beyond anything. And I said I can't -- I just can't go on anymore.</s>COSTELLO: Bernie Madoff is now serving a 150-year sentence in a federal prison in North Carolina. BP is set to resume drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. The company announced it has earned its first permit to drill for oil in the Gulf since the Deepwater Horizon explosion last year. The government says that BP has met all of the enhanced safety requirements. The explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers leading to one of the worst oil spills in U.S. history.
