ADDISON COUNTY — There's good news and bad news for Addison County farmers.
The good news is that milk prices have continued to remain strong, giving dairies a good return on their products.
The bad news is that skyrocketing production costs — particularly in the areas of fuel and feed — have all but negated the more robust return for milk.
"The price of milk and the price of inputs are not balancing," said Addison County Farm Bureau President Bill Scott. "The cost of fertilizer has doubled, grain prices are way up and freight hauling is going to be up also because of the cost of diesel fuel.
"It's the same old story," he added. "Everyone is caught up in the cost squeeze, even though the price of milk is up."
Bob Wellington, senior vice president economics, communications, and legislative affairs with Agri-Mark/Cabot, forecast a June blend price of $19.40 per hundredweight for milk, up around $1 compared to the May price. He projects another $1 bump in price for July.
It should be noted that the $19.40 represents the price in Boston; Vermont farmers, when factoring in transportation costs for their project, can expect to receive $18.50 to $19 per hundredweight, according to Wellington. He said the firm June price should be released next week.
The problem for many farmers is that even with milk prices now at around $6 per hundredweight more than three years ago, it's still not enough to keep some farmers afloat.
"Vermont farmers need prices above $20 (per hundredweight) to cover all of their costs, because feed costs are so outrageous, and energy costs," Wellington said. "It's a real problem for farmers."

BRISTOL — Four weeks after a catastrophic, 40-foot fall from the roof of a Middlebury Main Street business, Robert Demic — the patient doctors are calling the "miracle man" — is looking forward to dancing his way back onto Addison County stages in a year's time.
"I'll be tap dancing in a year," said 54-year-old Demic. "That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
Demic tumbled over 40 feet from the roof of Wild Mountain Thyme on June 9 after being knocked from his feet by what he believes was some sort of electrical shock. He was on the roof taking photographs of work he had completed for the business's owner, Paula Israel. The camera dropped to the roof approximately 15 feet from the roof's edge — exactly where Demic was standing at the time of what he believes was a massive shock.
"My memory is of being totally surprised, that I got blown backwards," Demic said.
Israel, who was in her shop at the time, said she felt the building shake and heard "a big thump" — a sound she and Demic believe to have been his body hitting the roof, after which his body continued over the building's edge.
Demic landed feet-first in a small patch of mud on the bank of Otter Creek behind the building close to the falls. When he came to, he said, he was disoriented but soon noticed his right leg was badly mangled and bleeding. He recalled struggling into the Otter Creek, which runs alongside the building, to wash away the blood from his leg — still dazed and partially incoherent.
RIPTON — Addison County officials are anxiously awaiting word from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the White House on whether Ripton, Middlebury and Lincoln will be awarded aid for repairs to roads, culverts and other public infrastructure damaged by a major storm last month.
Gov. James Douglas, a Middlebury Republican, formally requested the federal disaster declaration from the FEMA on July 1. The request is for declarations in Addison and Franklin Counties.
Tim Bouton, a senior emergency planner with the Addison County Regional Planning Commission, was one of several state and local officials who gathered in Middlebury on July 2 to go over a final tally of storm-related damage. Bouton said Vermont's total estimated damage from the June 14-16 storm is $960,000.
That $960,000 means that Vermont falls $40,000 short of the $1 million threshold required to qualify for a "federal disaster declaration" from FEMA, a declaration that would funnel in grant money from the nation's capital to cover up to 75 percent of the storm-related damage.
Still, Bouton and other officials said Vermont could qualify for aid based on a per-capita calculation of the damage. On that score, Vermont would qualify, with a per capita damage assessment of $1.24.
In essence, the declaration hangs in the balance at a time when dollars are tight and the feds are processing massive aid requests from the Midwest (major flooding) and California (fires).
"It's unknown what the response will be from Washington," said Bouton, who added the all-important verdict is likely to be handed down within the next two or three weeks. "We are hoping that with help from our congressional delegation, we will be successful."
SALISBURY — On a sunny Tuesday morning, Karen Rockow and her cousin John Marlin sat on the porch of the North Cove Cottage's front office — a red house hunkered down beside Lake Dunmore Road among a smattering of cozy white cottages.
"It's just a fantastic place," said Rockow, a 59-year-old Brooklyn native who has been vacationing at the lake since she was four years old.
She sat facing the water, looking out at a lone paddleboat on the cove and two small girls swimming at the water's edge — imagining, perhaps, the north cove of Lake Dunmore as it was 50 years ago. Rockow, whose family bought these cottages in 1958, is celebrating the business's 50th anniversary this year — an especially notable occasion for a business Rockow believes is the oldest group of cottages under continuous ownership on the lake.
"We're really a relic," she said. "These are retro vacations."
Rockow made her first trip to the lake in 1954 in the two-tone, green-and-white Buick that her parents bought that year. The car — a lemon, Rockow said, that knew the inside of every Buick repair shop from Atlantic City north — ferried the family to Vermont for that first summer vacation. The weather was gorgeous and the accommodations filthy — and her family, Rockow said, was hooked.
They spent the next several summers returning to the lake, pleading with the owners of the cottage that now serves as the business's front office to sell them the house.
They succeeded at long last, and soon also owned the half-dozen cottages south of the main office. Rockow's parents set to fixing up their little resort, painting the cottages and hauling furnishings from New York. Motels were still a novelty in those days, Rockow said, and her parents caught the bug early, throwing themselves into the work of upkeep and hospitality.
MIDDLEBURY — Josh Phillips had been looking for an opportunity to return to his home state of Vermont and continue his work in the field of land conservation.
He got his wish on both counts last month when he began his job as the new executive director of the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT).
Phillips, 31, takes over for former MALT leader Gioia Kuss, who stepped down last year, and Robin Scheu, who had been heading the organization on an interim basis.
Until recently, Phillips worked as director of preservation services at Preservation Maryland, a nonprofit conservation organization in Baltimore. While there, Phillips administered grants, created a preservation easement program and did most of the organization's local advocacy outside of the city of Baltimore — namely, 23 counties.
After four years with Preservation Maryland, Phillips and his wife, Julie, found themselves on the move this spring. Julie Phillips, a physician, had been offered a fellowship at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington. The couple decided it would be a good move, so Josh Phillips began to look for employment opportunities in the Green Mountain State, where he had grown up and gone to school. Phillips is a graduate of the University of Vermont's historic preservation master's program.
He was ecstatic to land the top job at MALT.
"I grew up in Milton, and my family is in Benson, so I was very familiar with Addison County," Phillips said. "This job really represents an opportunity for me to combine my interests in environmental conservation, open space preservation, sustainable agriculture and cultural/historic preservation. All those things come together in a community land trust, so I was excited that this opportunity was available."
RIPTON — Ripton residents, still struggling to secure federal aid to repair local roads, culverts and bridges hammered by last month's flood, are now finding themselves taking on Washington, D.C., over the loss of yet another public asset: Their local post office.
Like the June 14 storm that swept away portions of North Branch Road and several of its connectors, last week's post office closing came suddenly, stunning the more than 200 residents and businesses leasing mail boxes in the Ripton Country Store.
"A lot of people in the community are very upset," said resident Paul Bortz.
So upset, that more than 170 people have signed a petition titled "Save the Ripton Post Office," and more than 100 people rallied at a meeting on Tuesday evening to see what could be done to save their post office.
First came a sign in the store on Wednesday, June 25, stating closure of the small office was imminent. The next day, each box holder received a letter signed by East Middlebury Postmaster Sean T. Donahue confirming the Ripton Post Office would end what locals believe has been a more than 150-year run on Friday, June 27. The letter indicated that service was being transferred to the East Middlebury Post Office.
Adding to the shock for residents was the fact that the letter gave no explanation for the switch, other than "the Ripton Contract Post Office has provided the USPS with their termination notice effective Friday, June 27, 2008, at 5:30 p.m. As of June 28, 2008, we will no longer be delivering mail to the Ripton Contract Post Office."
Donahue declined to comment and referred all questions to U.S. Post Service public relations office in New Hampshire.

VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Monday approved municipal spending for the July-to-June fiscal year that, combined with taxes needed to back school spending, required a 3.6 percent increase in the city's residential property tax rate.
Aldermen set the new overall residential property tax rate at $1.7454 per $100 of property value, up by roughly 6 cents from the 2007-2008 rate of $1.6846.
They said that increase will require about $120 a year more in taxes for a home assessed at $200,000, or $30 per quarterly payment.
Aldermen also set the new city budget at about $1.54 million, an increase of about $102,000, or roughly 7 percent, from a year ago.
Most of the 6-cent hike to the tax rate was driven this year by city spending: more than 3.7 cents of that increase came from the municipal base rate of 60.29 cents, which includes a small amount needed to pay for voter-approved property tax reductions for disabled veterans. Last year's municipal portion of the overall property tax rate was 56.35 cents.
The school tax portion of the overall rate for homeowners rose by about 2.35 cents to $1.1425 cents. The combination of the school and municipal hikes creating the overall increase.
As is the case statewide, the non-residential tax rate will be higher. In Vergennes, the overall commercial rate will be $1.8379 per $100 of property value, an increase of about 7.1 cents.
That hike will translate to an increase of more than $140 a year per $200,000 of assessed value.
Aldermen said City Manager Renny Perry did well to hold the line on city spending considering rising fuel, energy, salt, paving and insurance costs.

NEW HAVEN — Residents of New Haven on Tuesday voted to spend almost $600,000 to build a new town hall and rejected a proposal to allow commercial development on a Route 7 parcel.
By Australian ballot, residents were opposed, 192-126, to a proposal to change the New Haven land use map so that a 30-acre parcel on the west side of Route 7 just south of Belden Falls Road would be zoned "Commercial Highway," rather than "Rural Agricultural-10 acre."
The southernmost 10 acres of that parcel is already zoned for commercial development and is the site of Ethan Allen Highway Storage. The family of Steve Dupoise owns the storage business and the entire 30 acres.
Dupoise said during informational meetings before the recent vote that if the change was approved he planned to sell a 5-acre piece of the land to Town and Country Homes, a Vergennes business that sells modular homes. He had not announced plans for the remaining 15 acres that would also be opened up for development.
Not surprisingly, Dupoise was disappointed in the outcome of Tuesday's balloting.
"It's kind of a sad day when you own a piece of property … and somebody else says what you're going to do with it," he said on Wednesday morning.
Dupoise declined to comment in detail on his plans now that the petition failed.
"I'm not sure I want to divulge that at this point in time," he said.
Dupoise said he might consider an agricultural use of the land, since that is what it's zoned for, or he might try to get the status of the land changed again in the next renewal of the town plan about three years from now.

A seaplane landed in the Deep Water Channel on Wednesday and tied up at the public dock. Out popped pilot John Fuller, on a date with Katie Wendland.
A seaplane landed in the Deep Water Channel on Wednesday and tied up at the public dock. Out popped pilot John Fuller, on a date with Katie Wendland.
They had tacos at Nena's in the Waterfront Warehouse.
"I'm here just enjoying myself," said Fuller, 26.
Waterfront spectators appeared to have a two-part reaction: 1). Startled; 2). What a great idea!
Delta recreation is synonymous with boating. But it is perfectly legal to land a seaplane throughout the Delta. Few people do it. But it is a lot of fun, Fuller said.
"Out here you can actually land somewhere, find a restaurant and enjoy yourself," he said.
In fact, the Delta is one of the only big bodies of water in Northern California a seaplane pilot can enjoy, Fuller said.
You can land in San Luis Reservoir. But why? The banks are deserted, Fuller said. Lake Tahoe is beautiful but offers few marinas.
On the Delta, though, you can hop from one resort to another. Fuller may skip from the rusty Porthole on Bethel Island to Frank's Tract to Korth's Pirate's Lair in a fraction of the time boats plod between them.
Flying a 1956 DeHavilland Beaver, with the name "Island Girl" painted on the fuselage, Fuller and Wendland earlier came from Village West Marina and The Garlic Brothers restaurant.
There, they had used the adjacent slough as a runway. The plane needs about three-quarters of a mile of water to get airborne.
Folks dawdling on the yacht Dream Catcher were surprised to see them take off - and to hear the plane's thunderous accelerating engine.
"He took off and crossed over the marina," said Roger Reimer. "Scared the hell out of me."
The Island Girl came down in the Turning Basin by the Port of Stockton, taxied under the I-5 bridge and puttered through the marina's 5 mph zone.
Heads turned.
"It's pretty cool," said "Rowdy," who lives on a houseboat at the Downtown Stockton Marina.
"Everybody waved at the marina," Wendland said. "It's so cool."
Douglass Wilhoit, CEO of the local Chamber, which has waterfront offices, e-mailed a picture of the plane bobbing at the dock to all his contacts.
"Eat your hearts out, all you Valley cities," he wrote.
Seaplaning the Delta seems such a natural that some people wondered why they never thought of it.
"I'm kind of embarrassed," admitted Bill Wells, executive director of the California Delta Chambers and Visitors Bureau. "I hang out in the Delta all the time. I never thought of taking a seaplane."
But he loved the idea. "That'd be fantastic," Wells mused. "Just pull up to a restaurant."
You might think there's got to be more to it. Rules and regulations. There is not.
No law prohibits landing a seaplane on any body of water, said Ian Gregor, public affairs manager for the federal Aviation Administration's Pacific Division.
"The bottom line is they have to be operated safely and in a manner that they don't pose a hazard to any person or any property," Gregor said.
Once a seaplane splashes down, the law considers it a boat, added San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore. Seaplanes then are subject to the laws governing boats.
With one exception: boats must yield to a seaplane taking off.
Seaplaning the Delta is rare. But not unknown. A Bethel Island vintner commutes by seaplane from the island to his winery in the Mother Lode.
Pilot Rick Tutt, who transports clients, took time out from seaplane proficiency training a while back to land on the waterfront.
"I tied the plane to the marina, walked across the street and ate at the Thai restaurant," Tutt said. "Very cool. Very unique."
The reason seaplaning isn't seen more, of course, is cost. Seaplanes run $80,000 to $100,000.
The Island Girl is a corporate plane. Fuller flies it for his employers. From time to time they lend him the plane. He flies home to Stockton and gives rides to his friends.
And impresses dates. I asked Wendland if the airborne charm offensive was working.
"Of course," Wendland replied.

Hooked on Life
Vincent Mock's deep love for the ocean is apparent through his art where he explores the human disconnection from nature in an ironic way – sculpting ocean predators from the very fish hooks that threaten their survival. A fellow PADI Divemaster and artist, Mock has traveled and dived the world over. Here he discusses his Hooked on Life series.
Project AWARE (PA): When did you first merge your creative talents with your passion for the ocean?
Vincent Mock (VM): During my divemaster course in Mozambique, I had many conversations with instructors, biologists and local fishermen who all came to the same frightful conclusion: They were seeing less big fish than they used to. Even along the relatively pristine coastline of Mozambique, there were many stories of longline fleets fishing illegally within territorial waters. So even though I was seeing the most stunning corals, sharks and mantas on a daily basis, I couldn't shake the sad feeling that I could be part of the last generation to do so.
Not long after, I saw a documentary about illegal longline fishing around the Galapagos Islands. I saw desperate conservationists haul in miles of fishing line with hundreds of hooks – along with dead and dying sharks, sea turtles, tunas and birds. I was appalled by this non-selective and destructive way of fishing and the fact that it was done in a protected area. It made me want to learn more about these huge global issues; Why was it happening and what was being done to stop it?
PA: Can you tell us more about your Hooked on Life series? It's beautiful and ironic to sculpt endangered species using longline fishing hooks. What lead to the idea of using this medium?
VM: Working in conservation can be both extremely rewarding and frustrating at the same time. Especially when we are trying to protect a world that most people have only seen on their dinner plates. I tried to find a simple, age old symbol that everyone could relate to – the fish hook. I thought it would be an eye opener if I could make the beautifully evolved organic shapes of sharks and other oceanic species from the very material that is causing their demise.
I feel that fish hooks serve both as a symbol of human endeavor and of our relationship with nature. These ancient tools, hand crafted out of seashells, symbolize a time when we were in balance with our natural environment. However, nowadays, the same tool serves as a symbol for humans' unwitting destruction of that same environment. With systematic precision, we deploy millions of longline hooks into international, unregulated waters. We are emptying the ocean at an alarming rate and upsetting the delicate balance of our marine environment.
PA: What message are you sharing with your art and how has the unique view beneath the surface contributed to your artistic direction?
VM: As with many, when I'm diving, a new world opens up for me. But knowing that this might all end within a generation is simply incomprehensible. I cannot imagine telling my grandchildren that we had the option to change, but chose to ignore it for the benefit of material wealth for a select few.
It's difficult to tell people, who might not interact with the ocean in their daily lives, that they have to change the way they live or eat. I feel art is a medium that can trigger a change in awareness since it objectively influences the viewer. In the end, I don't want to be remembered as part of the generation that had the opportunity to change, but just stood by and watched it happen. My goal for the Hooked on Life series is to find a way for it to be seen, and make a difference where it matters.

The Unapologetic Non-Believer
I was watching television the other day when my intelligence was once again assaulted by a vocal and unabashed member of the flat earth society. A Republican member of the Texas school board responsible or deciding that evolution should not be allowed in textbooks because it has "no scientific justification" and a concept espoused by those "Godless left wingers".
I really don't know just where to start with this not only is there an enormous amount of fossil evidence to support the conclusion that evolution is indeed a fact unlike any "religious" justification. Evolution is only called "the theory of evolution" because science, unlike religion, always requires open-mindedness and peer-review before drawing a conclusion. But also, in my mind at least, it is the "God fearing" people that are the problem.
When I interact with people who have a strong "religious" belief of any kind I find that there is an idea socialized into most of us which assumes automatically that the "believer" is somehow on a better moral footing than I am. while they are, usually, simply a part of the belief system that they grew up with. On my part, it comes from a lifetime of first having to overcome the years of childhood brainwashing. Having struggled to overcome that, I was then subjected to several years of living in a population of mostly religious people who all had a similar attitude of "my God is the only one that will get me into heaven but, those who believe in other gods are good people to; they just won't make it into heaven". The word atheist or agnostic is treated only in the most negative of ways.
Well, I've got news for them. I am a moral person to even though I don't believe in any magical beings. After years of questioning and being open-minded to the possibilities I have come to understand a neatly logical concept of how the universe works. It makes perfect sense to me (unlike religion) and also gives me a firm set of principles about how to treat other human beings with kindness and love. I don't need to have it written in stone by a God.

Well it's possible they are somewhat intelligent but sheltered from knowledge, either by circumstance or deliberate self-"protection" against losing their faith. Which is yet a different failing on their part, in today's world. I know a lot of the antis--the truly dishonest frauds you are talking about--go to a lot of effort to sound like they are qualified scientists, using a lot of the terminology, etc. (And sometimes they almost get it right--but you need to remember your last biology class in detail to be able to call them on it.) Between confirmation bias, and our tendency to trust experts, they can run even the smarter members of their flocks around in circles.
If you think about it there were plenty of intelligent people running around who did not accept evolution before 1859. In fact, pretty much all of them didn't. Today of course we have the knowledge and it's readily available, so the failing of people like that today would be trusting the fake experts too much.
"A Republican member of the Texas school board responsible or deciding that evolution should not be allowed in textbooks because it has "no scientific justification" and a concept espoused by those "Godless left wingers"."
Unfortunately Texas is one of the two main states where public school textbooks are approved, written, and published for distribution throughout the country. They have recently been trying to drop references in history texts to a little known deist, and there is speculation that being a deist even is probably not correct, by the name of T. Jefferson.
"I don't know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God." -George Bush (Texan)
Christian dominionism is a real threat, folks.
The solution is simple:
Do away with organized religion.
We are not as ignorant in science or life as we once were. Religion has no place in government anyways.
If you hold a belief, then keep it to yourself. No more gatherings... No more churches .... No more collective violence.
All religion requires faith ...so then why continue, as a world population, to tolerate violence in the name of something that no one can prove exists? Its ridiculous.
The world needs to wake up and stop drawing lines between people based on imagination.
Follow the old testament... Dont follow the old testament. Who can prove it was truly inspired by god? No one!
Besides... No one follows it to the letter. If it was inspired by god...who un-inspired the parts we dont follow? Again ...it ridiculous.
Humanity has sacrificed a lot on behalf of religion ...isn't it about time religion sacrifices for humanity?
The only real answer to stop the violence.
As I have been unemployed for two years, in order to seek work through the Department of Labor and other subcontractors, I've been inundated by programs run by those with a Christian fundamentalist bent. One woman begin raising her arms and pleading to save me. She did this after I told her I am an atheist. Although she was not in charge, she and others stopped speaking to me. Fortunately, I was able to quit that particular program.
haha +1 RobertPiano
I like it, RobertPiano. What else is there to say? Of course, looking at the bat pic, I started thinking of the way their hands are modified for flight, and how they, like the platypuses and the star-nose mole, have evolved an almost unbelievable, sophisticated method of perceiving their environments. I read about evolution because it is fascinating and there is never enough I can know about it. I am so grateful for my atheist upbringing and my education, both of which taught me to learn for myself and to respect the scientific method and the solid information it gives us. Where a believer might see a bat as a "bird" that shall not be eaten, I see a fellow mammal and I understand how we humans are related to it. A bat was just the thing I needed this morning! Thanks!

Persona: A Body in Parts
- Sep 17, 2011 – Dec 11, 2011
- The Bob & Lissa Shelley McDowell Gallery
"Album"), 2003, 55.125 x 45.25 in. Image courtesy Regen Projects, Los
Angeles © Gillian Wearing.
Did you know?
The expression of multiple versions of the self is discussed in Multiplicity: The New Science of Personality, Identity and the Self by Rita Carter, who writes that our interactions with different social groups (friends, family, lovers, business colleagues) heavily influence the way we choose to present ourselves. We naturally adapt to our surroundings, sliding from one identity to another as the situation demands.
Persona: A Body in Parts explores alternate and multiple representations of the self in current visual art. Organized by Weatherspoon Curator of Exhibitions, Xandra Eden, the exhibition includes a striking selection of work in which the body, whether the artist's own or another's, becomes a plastic surrogate form from which multiple and complex identities are projected. Artists participating in the exhibition include Barbara Probst, Nikki S. Lee, Carter, Kate Gilmore, Nick Cave, and Gillian Wearing.
The artists in Persona adopt chameleon-like personas, don self-made "second skins," and project fragmented views of the body, to create a view of identity similar to the effect of light shining through a prism, each part separating out into different, though often enigmatic, representations of the self.
The work in Persona: A Body in Parts has its historical roots in early body and performance art of the 1970s, such as that of Ana Mendieta and Rebecca Horn, and later artists who explored more artificial or media-driven selves, including Cindy Sherman and Yasumasa Morimura. Each artist in the exhibition provides valuable insight into thinking about the body as participating in a series of knowledge-producing relations, rather than as a distinct, static entity.
Performances of Kate Gilmore's Wall Bearer are scheduled for the opening and closing Saturdays, first Thursdays and Saturdays of each month, and for Persona related events. See Event Calendar for dates + times.

"One morning before school, some girl tells Piddy Sanchez that Yaqui Delgado hates her and wants to kick her ass. Piddy doesn't even know who Yaqui is, never mind what she's done to piss her off. Word is that Yaqui thinks Piddy is stuck-up, shakes her stuff when she walks, and isn't Latin enough with her white skin, good grades, and no accent. And Yaqui isn't kidding around, so Piddy better watch her back. At first Piddy is more concerned with trying to find out more about the father she's never met and how to balance honors courses with her weekend job at the neighborhood hair salon. But as the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui and her gang starts to take over Piddy's life. Is there any way for Piddy to survive without closing herself off or running away?" -- from publisher's web site.

It is your responsibility to figure out customs and things before you order.
I understand that international shipping costs--before you even add in the extra customs charges, fees, etc.--are very expensive; however, I charge the absolute lowest I *possibly* can when you factor in the cost of shipping tubes, labels, labor, etc. I'm actually slightly undercharging for international shipping, so please understand that I don't like the pricey international shipping any more than you do, but unfortunately there's not much to be done about it. :( I wish it was cheaper to ship internationally, but unfortunately I am already charging the bare minimum that I can without losing much money.

After releasing a quick snippet yesterday, the full trailer for the upcoming "Marvel's Daredevil" series on Netflix is now available.
The series premieres on April 10 and stars Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil. And Vincent D'Onofrio will play Wilson Fisk / The Kingpin, Daredevil's nemesis.
Like the comic books, the trailer is moody, gritty and dark. It features scenes of the city as Murdock speaks to a priest about forgiveness.
"I'm not seeking forgiveness for what I've done, Father. I asking forgiveness for what I'm about to do," Murdock says to the priest.
The series is part of an expansion of the Marvel Universe on Netflix. There...

Now that Fall is officially here, everyone's pulling out their boots and hoodies (including me). It's funny how in Southern California, we will literally take any chance to dress warm, like ANY chance. "weather forecasts predicts a low of 70, it's time for my uggs to come out of hibernation". Like seriously though. Can't blame us, when you're stuck with this desert heat all year round, any hint of winter and we'll pull out everything we got.

A String of 'Cosmic Pearls' Surrounds an Exploding Star
Two decades ago, astronomers spotted one of the brightest exploding stars in more than 400 years.
Since that first sighting, the doomed star, called Supernova 1987A, has continued to fascinate astronomers with its spectacular light show. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is one of many observatories that has been monitoring the blast's aftermath.
This image shows the entire region around the supernova. The most prominent feature in the image is a ring with dozens of bright spots. A shock wave of material unleashed by the stellar blast is slamming into regions along the ring's inner regions, heating them up, and causing them to glow. The ring, about a light-year across, was probably shed by the star about 20,000 years before it exploded.
Astronomers detected the first bright spot in 1997, but now they see dozens of spots around the ring. Only Hubble can see the individual bright spots. In the next few years, the entire ring will be ablaze as it absorbs the full force of the crash. The glowing ring is expected to become bright enough to illuminate the star's surroundings, providing astronomers with new information on how the star expelled material before the explosion.
The pink object in the center of the ring is debris from the supernova blast. The glowing debris is being heated by radioactive elements, principally titanium 44, created in the explosion. The debris will continue to glow for many decades.
The origin of a pair of faint outer red rings, located above and below the doomed star, is a mystery. The two bright objects that look like car headlights are a pair of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The supernova is located 163,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
The image was taken in December 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys.

Story highlights
- The FDA allows "compassionate use" drugs to save lives
- Most denials come from drug companies, the FDA says
- Some are taking a closer look at improving the program
- 'We all feel something has to change,' one executive says
At first, Sandy Barker decided to behave nicely and sit silently in the audience as an official from the Food and Drug Administration extolled the virtues of a program to get experimental drugs to desperately ill patients.
Then she couldn't take it anymore. Barker's hand shot up.
"I've been sitting here for the past hour trying to be quiet, but I want to tell you what happened to my son," she said.
Barker looked down at a picture of Christian on her lap. She started to cry, but regained enough composure to describe how her son was diagnosed eight years ago with a rare form of leukemia when he was 13. A bone marrow transplant was supposed to help, but instead the donor's cells attacked Christian's body.
Christian's graft-versus-host disease was quickly getting worse. His life was on the line. Nothing was working.
The Barkers searched for studies he could join but found none. Christian's doctors desperately wanted to try an experimental drug, but first the FDA had to give its blessing.
The Barkers and their doctors begged the agency to allow Christian to use the medicine. By the time permission was given, more than three weeks had passed, and the graft-versus-host disease had moved to stage 4, the most severe stage.
Christian died two months later.
During a panel discussion at a conference on rare diseases, Barker says the FDA official noted it can be helpful to lobby one's congressman to get access to experimental drugs.
She was stunned by that comment. She thought back to Christian's final weeks on earth. As the disease ravaged his body, he bled and vomited constantly. Around the clock she changed her son's bloody boxer shorts and bed sheets.
"My son was dying. He was hemorrhaging four liters of blood a day. When exactly was I supposed to call my congressman?" Barker told CNN.
The FDA program that allows patients to use experimental drugs is called "compassionate use." Barker wonders, as do many others, if there might be a way to make it a little more compassionate.
'The system works pretty well'
No FDA official at that meeting in February ever suggested that anyone should lobby their congressman to get access to a compassionate use drug, says Stephanie Yao, a spokeswoman for the agency.
Richard Klein, the director of the FDA's patient liaison program who was on the panel at that meeting, told CNN he's pleased with the compassionate use program.
"I think the system works pretty well the way it is," he says.
Many would beg to differ.
After Dr. Darshak Sanghavi wrote a piece last year for the New York Times Sunday magazine about compassionate use, he was "heartbroken" to receive desperate e-mails seeking his advice on how to navigate the program.
"Their stories were really sad," he says. "There's clearly a need for some sort of an improved process."
Sanghavi, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, is convening a closed-door meeting later this month that will include senior pharmaceutical executives, a patient advocate, an ethicist and a lawyer at Harvard, and Mark McClellan, the former commissioner of the FDA.
Many drug company executives agree that the system is deeply flawed. A main complaint is when patients take to social media and make very public campaigns to get the drugs they want.
Last month the parents of a 7-year-old boy did just that and made headlines around the world. Josh Hardy's parents took to Twitter and Facebook when the drug company Chimerix denied their request for an experimental antiviral drug to save Josh's life. After receiving death threats from "Josh's army" -- executives had to hire security guards -- Chimerix reversed its position and granted Josh and other patients like him access to the drug.
Now that he's had the medicine, the virus that nearly killed Josh is gone and he's been moved out of the intensive care unit.
In light of that case, a biotechnology industry group, BIO, has decided to take another look at the issue, says Sara Radcliffe, BIO executive vice president.
"The situation in which people make pleas on social media standing by the child's bedside, wondering what's going to happen tomorrow, is a horrible, horrible situation," says a senior source in the biotechnology industry, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the situation.
"We should be doing better than that," the source added. "We all feel something has to change."
But the question is -- what?
'It's absolutely something we would think about'
FDA officials say that since 2009 they've approved more than 99% of requests for compassionate use drugs. Denials have come almost completely from the drug companies themselves.
Nathan Traller knows this all too well. His daughter Nathalie, 15, has a rare cancer called alveolar soft part sarcoma and has tried and failed every available treatment. The cancer, which started in her brain, is now in in Nathalie's pancreas, lungs, abdomen, intestines and bones.
"It really couldn't get much more widespread," her father says.
The Trallers reached out to three drug companies asking for use of their experimental cancer drugs. All three said no.
Two of the companies, Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb, declined to discuss Nathalie's case with CNN.
Bristol-Myers Squibb issued a statement about patients in general who have no other treatment options. "It is exactly with those patients in mind that, through regulatory approval, we work to ensure broad access to our medicines as quickly as possible, while also remaining mindful of protecting patient safety."
CNN spoke with a representative of Genentech, the manufacturer of anti-PDL1, the drug Nathalie was denied.
"It really comes down to the fact that we don't have drug supply," Krysta Pellegrino said. "Should we have additional supply in the future, it's absolutely something we would think about."
Can't they make more of the drug?
Not right now, Pellegrino answered.
Why not?
Because Nathalie isn't the only person who's asked for anti-PDL1, she explained. In the past year, Genentech has received about 100 requests.
Genentech made enough of the medicine for the 350 people who have been involved in clinical trials -- would making more be too expensive?
It's not a matter of money, Pellegrino said. It's that anti-PDL1 is complicated to make, and Genentech has limited manufacturing capacity.
"Would we have to, just for example, not manufacture Herceptin in order to manufacture this?" Pellegrino said, naming Genentech's blockbuster breast cancer drug.
Is she saying that if Genetech made anti-PDL1 for Nathalie and patients like her, some breast cancer patients wouldn't get their Herceptin?
No, Pellegrino answered, not necessarily.
So what is she saying?
"We don't have current supply at this time to consider opening a compassionate use program," she repeated.
Later, Pellegrino sent an e-mail saying that "making additional anti-PDL1 at this time would mean not being able to make other medicines, including those for people with breast, colon and lung cancers, and investigational medicines being studied for Alzheimer's and other diseases."
Like making cupcakes
Vickie Buenger isn't quite buying it.
Sure, supply might sometimes be an issue, especially for smaller pharmaceutical companies, she says. But in some cases the lack-of-supply argument, which is frequently used by drug companies, "falls short a bit."
Buenger's 11-year-old daughter died of cancer five years ago, and since then she formed the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer and helps advise parents seeking compassionate use.
Buenger, who teaches at Texas A&M University with a joint appointment at Mays Business School and the professional program in biotechnology, understands that as currently configured, perhaps production lines really can't satisfy compassionate use requests. But could that be changed?
"It's like making cupcakes. You can only make 12 at a time because the pan only holds 12. But that doesn't mean you can't make more than 12. You just have to change the way you've set up the situation," she says.
She and other observers think there may be different reasons why drug companies often say no to compassionate use.
First, compassionate use patients can't be counted as study subjects, so they don't contribute to the clinical trials that need to be done to get a drug on the market.
Second, compassionate use patients are very, very sick and have failed at multiple treatments. They could very well fail on the experimental drug, too. Companies fear that a death -- especially if it's a child -- could turn the public and the FDA against them.
Drug industry executives dispute this second point. They say they often grant compassionate use to extremely sick patients, although they won't say how many requests they deny and how many they allow.
But they do agree that servicing compassionate use requests in general can divert them from their goal, which is to get the drug on the market where it can help anyone who needs it.
"Companies have an ethical obligation to develop drugs and biologics for patient populations and bring them to market as fast as possible," BIO writes on its web page about compassionate use, underlining the sentence for emphasis.
Like frat brothers crashing a wedding
Nathan Traller, Nathalie's father, has spent a good part of the last seven months on the phone with pharmaceutical executives trying to convince them to let his daughter try their experimental drugs.
He thinks Buenger is right -- drug companies view compassionate use patients like Nathalie as a distraction, as something that sidetracks them from their real work.
"We're just a pain to them. That's really the landscape," he says.
He wonders if there might be some way to reform compassionate use so the drug companies benefit, too. Is there a way to make it a win-win for the patient and the company?
Dr. Aaron Kesselheim doesn't have an answer, but he thinks he might have a path.
Kesselheim, an internist and ethicist at Harvard Medical School who's been invited to the Brookings meeting later this month, says the FDA should think about ways to tweak the system so that information gleaned from compassionate use patients might help a drug company's application to market a new drug.
In the end, that's what ended up working in the Josh Hardy situation. After the outcry on social media, the FDA agreed to allow Josh Hardy and other patients like him to become study subjects. Josh won, and so did Chimerix.
Kesselheim offers this simile: A drug company wants to make just enough medicine for its clinical trials and not much more, just as a wedding caterer wants to make just enough food for the guests and not much more.
While he doesn't want to insult compassionate use patients, in this story they are fraternity brothers crashing a wedding.
"Let's say 200 people are supposed to show up at a wedding, and on the day of the wedding the groom's 50 frat brothers show up and want dinner. They can't get it because the caterer didn't make 250 pieces of fish," he says.
"But let's say there was a national policy that all wedding caterers had to plan for frat brothers crashing weddings. Then caterers would build it into their plans to accommodate 50 extra guests. They would build it into their costs," he adds.
Any requirements about feeding fraternity brothers would be across the board, so no one caterer would get an advantage. The same would be true for drug companies supplying medicine to compassionate use patients.
"It might make them less skittish about making drugs available if they all had the same set of rules," Kesselheim says.
And who knows? Just as those fraternity brothers might add something to the party instead of just disturbing it, the compassionate use patients might just add something to the company's FDA application instead of just bogging it down.
That's what Nathalie's father wants.
"I'm not trying to divert the whole system to benefit my daughter," he says. "All I'm saying is, look at the system now. Is this really the best we can conceive of? It's really a head-scratcher to me, and I'm sure it's probably a head-scratcher to other people, too."

In 1997, our founder was a specialty surgeon searching for an effective EHR solution. Finding none, he created his own. What resulted was a healthcare technology company that focuses exclusively on ambulatory specialties and a solution that works the way you do.
That's why AllMeds now has a higher customer retention rate than any other EHR vendor.
One of the primary reasons behind AllMeds' success is the sheer depth and breadth of our Cardiology clinical library. A goal of any EHR should be to reduce the amount of documentation labor required of physicians. But, while most EHRs allow the user to create their own data, they overlook the tremendous amount of labor and time required to do so. According to a recent HIMSS study, this is where most EHRs fail.
The creation of a truly effective specialty library can require up to 400 hours of physician labor (or thousands of dollars of consulting time). Oftentimes, EHRs that only provide the bare necessities meet with never-ending implementation efforts or outright failure. Unfortunately, many practices only find out too late that what their vendor called a "specialty library" is really a small collection of templates (easily camouflaged in demos) or a purchase order worth thousands of dollars more to a consultant.
Of course, you can customize and design your own materials, but most AllMeds customers find they spend very little time doing so. Actually, most physicians who use AllMeds EHR find they spend most of their time… practicing medicine.
The backbone of any electronic medical record (EHR) solution is the clinical data that composes it. An effective EHR possesses a comprehensive library of information that alleviates the need for physicians to document from scratch:
AllMeds harnesses the expertise of practicing physicians to build complete specialty libraries from the ground-up. We leverage a growing base of specialty customers to constantly improve and update our clinical data. And, we employ highly-skilled and experienced informatics experts to ensure constant growth, accuracy and usefulness.
AllMeds' solution provides a complete clinical library that better ensures day-one usability and a more rapid return to normal – or improved – levels of productivity.
Such a comprehensive nature means that you'll spend far less time customizing AllMeds' specialty libraries than you would other solutions. Your physicians will actually spend the days after go-live practicing medicine, rather than building a usable system. There's no need for costly and time-consuming third party vendors to build clinical data sets, templates or specialty-based prescription lists.
AllMeds' specialty EHR will bring greater efficiencies to your encounter documentation when you flip the switch.
But, it doesn't stop there. AllMeds' specialty libraries are constantly evolving and expanding. Employing a never-ending development cycle, AllMeds' informatics teams will continue to update your libraries with expanded lists of protocols, the latest CPT/ICD code changes, and new templates and communication documents. And all of this can be performed with very little effort on the part of your staff. All you'll notice are better documentation capabilities and greater efficiencies!
With AllMeds' clinical libraries, it's all here!

You can enjoy a night of food and live music while helping Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes' only shelter for abused women and their children.
You can enjoy a night of food and live music while helping Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes' only shelter for abused women and their children.
The Haven will hold its 15th annual Spring Fling Gala, "Home is Where the Heart Is," at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.
The spring gala is the Haven's biggest fundraiser of the year, said Becky Blanchard, a member of The Haven's board of directors. This year's gala is more important than ever because severe state budget cuts means The Haven may have to cut some programs and services if it can't make up the difference in private donations.
"With a lot of the state cuts that have been made to the Department of Children and Family Services, it will be more crucial than ever for us to raise as much money as we can," Blanchard said.
Last year's budget to support the state's domestic violence programs was $6.2 million, said The Haven Executive Director Julie Pellegrin. This year's budget has been cut to $4.2 million.
"This (fundraiser) is really going to determine what programs and services we keep," Pellegrin said.
The gala will include food from 30 chefs from around the community, an open bar and music by Todd Adams, Billy Stark and Lawrence Breaux. There will also be a silent auction with as many as 200 items, and Gourmet-to-Go.
Tickets are $50 per person and $100 per couple. They can be purchased by calling 872-0757 or can be bought at the door.
Organizers said the gala is a fun night that supports a great cause in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
"We have great community support, and we're very lucky," said Darlene Flynn, president of The Haven's board of directors. "It is very rewarding to help so many people that you will never meet."
The Haven offers domestic violence, sexual assault and violence prevention programs in Terrebonne and Lafourche.
It offers a 24-hour crisis line, individual and group counseling, and 24-hour legal and medical advocacy. There are also case-management services, parent education, crisis intervention and a safe temporary shelter for women and children seeking refuge from family violence. There's prevention information and referrals for victims of sexual assault.
The Haven's shelter can house up to 25 people at a time and helps up to 150 per year.
The Haven's non-residential programs help up to 400 people per year.
The need for the shelter is apparent, and it stays at capacity most of the time, Blanchard said.
The Haven also has a violence prevention program that includes educational presentations, classes and workshops for children, teens and adults. All of these services are free.
That program, which began two years ago, is slated to be cut if the Haven can't raise additional money to support it.
"It's critical for us to deal with issues of violence in our community," Blanchard said.

Djokovic fights back to reach French quarters
Paris, France – World No. 1 Novak Djokovic came from behind to win his fourth-round match Monday at the 2013 French Open.
Last year's Roland Garros runner-up dropped the first set on Day 9 of the fortnight before charging back to dismiss 16th-seeded German Phillip Kohlschreiber 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in 2 hours, 42 minutes on Court Chatrier.
Kohlschreiber secured the lone break of the first stanza to grab a one-set lead, but Djokovic recorded the only breaks en route to claiming the second a third sets and broke Kohlschreiber by a 2-1 margin in the fourth set en route to victory.
The 26-year-old Djokovic is now third on the men's Open Era list with 16 straight trips into a Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Djokovic played for the first time after learning over the weekend that his childhood coach and the person who first recognized his exceptional talent, Jelena Gencic, died in Belgrade on Saturday at the age of 77.
The mighty Djokovic reached his first-ever French Open final last year, only to lose to the great Rafael Nadal. The reigning Australian Open champ needs Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam.
Djokovic's quarterfinal opponent will be resurgent German Tommy Haas, who looked impressive in a straight-set rout of Russian Mikhail Youzhny. Djokovic is 4-3 lifetime versus Haas.
Haas cruised to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory over Youzhny in just 90 minutes to reach the quarterfinals at Roland Garros for the first time. He has been to at least the round of eight in each of the other three Grand Slams.
In addition, the 35-year-old German became the oldest quarterfinalist in a major since Andre Agassi at the 2005 U.S. Open and became the oldest French Open quarterfinalist since a 39-year-old Istvan Gulyas in 1971. He is also the first German in the French quarters since Michael Stich and Bernd Karbacher in 1996.
"These are cool stats sometimes to hear," said Haas. "I feel like I'm riding a wave that I hope to continue as long as I can. I'm going out there and I try to improve my game as much as I can, and to be in this situation is spectacular."
The 12th-seeded Haas, a champion in Munich last month, needed 13 match points to finally finish off John Isner in the third round on Saturday, but had little trouble against Youzhny. The Russian beat Haas in the first round of the Italian Masters last month and took the first game on Monday, then proceeded to lose 10 straight on his way to a quick exit.
Youzhny was so frustrated on Monday that he demolished his racquet by banging it nine times against his changeover chair.
"Bad luck for that racquet," Youzhny said.
Two other men's fourth-round matches are on Monday's schedule, as seven-time champion Rafael Nadal is currently facing Japan's Kei Nishikori and seventh-seeded French favorite Richard Gasquet is battling ninth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka.
The first two quarterfinals were set Sunday. Roger Federer rallied past Gilles Simon in a five-set thriller and will play Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, while a battle of Spaniards will pit David Ferrer against Tommy Robredo, who on Sunday rallied from a two-set deficit for the third straight match.
