Our Baby Newly Diagnosed…….What Next?
Do you question your child's future?
In 1992 when Kaitlyn was diagnosed, insulin pumps were just coming around to commercial use. At that time, the management tools were better than they were years ago, but of course not as good as they are today. When Kaitlyn was diagnosed, we were devastated. We learned many things in the early years but probably the biggest and hardest lesson was that diabetes is not our disease. It belongs to Kaitlyn.
Granted, it impacted everything but we learned the faster Kaitlyn 'took on' this disease the faster she would understand it and the more she had a chance at controlling her own future. To be clear, Kaitlyn surely had times when she had enough, when she was depressed, when diabetes started to edge ahead and think it might gain the upper hand. By giving it back to her, she learned to manage this monster at every different stage. It was IN her life, it did not OWN her life.
It was at that moment I knew we were on the right track. Going to support group meetings, having her involved with decisions (even at a young age), educating her the best way we could as we learned ourselves; all contributed to her feeling confident that there was not a thing she could not do. NOTHING.
Life was hers for the grabbing. Dance school, sports, school activities, and everything and anything was on the table for her to try. We gave her the choices to not only be involved, but also to accept the challenge of this disease; to know that a glycemic reaction was occurring and to tell us/a coach/a teacher. She needed to do things so diabetes was in managed and she could not be shy. She owned the management. Unless it was a severe glycemic reaction, she stayed in the nurses office until she felt better. We did not run to the school every time she went high or low. She needed to know we would not coming running every high, and/or every low. She saw her way through each episode.
We tried to minimize the fear by adding understanding. We minimized fear. Fear is the unknown, the more one knows, the better they will be. Mistakes were to be corrected and management tools were gauges, not report cards. And we were not afraid to make sure her medical team understood this as well. With the management tools in existence now, you can almost follow them every minute. Now more than ever, you need to get them to take charge. If you are following them like a drone, the rebellion at some point is going to be huge.
The confidence they will gain is immeasurable. Kaitlyn was an elected class officer, in the prom court, and the homecoming court. She excelled in everything and I whole heartily believe it was because she learned to manage this disease during a time there were half the management tools around as there are today.
It was a long time ago since we started and in three weeks I'm walking her down the aisle and placing her hand in another man's to have and to hold. That confident young lady has been ready for a long time and it started when she was six and she gave herself her first shot. It grew from there and we stood back as much as we could, helped when were needed, and allowed her stand when ready. Sure we were there. But as she grew and she wanted to do more and more, we let her.
Be there to pick up your child when needed…….don't carry them the whole journey. They will run one hell of a race, but only if you allow them to walk first, on their own.
Remember that, sit back, and be amazed what they…….will teach you.
A Mother's Love……a Daughter's Dream…….an Unbreakable Bond.
I have stated millions of times that my children could not have been luckier than to have the mother that God granted them. When I opened this picture, tears flowed down my face.
Kaitlyn's Bridal Shower was this weekend and those two smiling faces would make any man's heart overflow. Over the next few weeks leading up to the wedding, I have a few things I would like to say and I hope you will indulge me a little, and more than that; I hope I leave you with a few things as well.
Jill was never 'a friend' to our kids…….although sometimes she would seem like that, and other times she would not seem like that. What she was, and is, is the most incredible 'mom' they could ever have. In Kaitlyn's upbringing, Jill set the bar on what we would attempt to do as a family in this world of diabetes. Her fierce appetite for knowledge is the single reason Kaitlyn and Rob are doing as well as two parents could ever hope (although we always hope they can do better, wink-wink-parents–right?).
And outside of Diabetes, TJ, Kaitlyn, and Rob had the compass of life that Jill lived by; and they are lucky indeed.
When it came to diabetes, I may have been the one 'out there' (and she was when needed) but it was Jill's resilience in not only understanding this disease, but making it understandable for one child starting at age 2 who had it, and one at age 5 who did not, and then a little later a thirteen year old diagnosed because that's how life goes some times.
The dynamics of three children and a husband and wife as a family….well will stay with us because everyone has life and it impacts so many in so many different ways and what is important to know is……………………….here we are.
What is important to know is that we did not just get from there to here on a wing and a prayer; although prayer was surely a big part. We prayed for the ability to learn and the direction to go so our children would not die (there I said it). Quite frankly, there's no way to soften that thought–it was our fear and probably always will be. Probably yours too. But that fear…….feel it. Really feel it because it is THAT fear that is your first lesson in diabetes. The lesson—-own it; because it will do everything to own you.
But we learned to harness that fear with the reigns of education so we could ride this out with us in as much control as possible. We learned that we had to do EVERYTHING we could because the biggest mistake in diabetes is thinking that you are done learning….and as parents, we never are done. Many times I mentioned how with a 5-year-old and a two-year old, the house was always clean, the kids were always well taken care of, and yet, by time I came home, Jill was asleep with diabetes articles, and magazines, all around her on the bed. She did not just want to know diabetes; SHE HAD TO UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY—-it's the only way to beat your enemy.
We would fail a thousand times and yet;………….try to do it better the next day.
By her desk I would see notes from the newly diagnosed family she found the time to speak to, or write the letters for fund-raising, in addition to everything else she did. And of course, I would move the magazines and see the mascara stained pillows of tears from a mother who only wanted her baby to not be ruled by diabetes. Oh on many-a-night I saw those tears on a pillow.
Our daughter is just a month away from marrying the Prince Charming she dreamed about since she was a little girl. And truth be known, he's a pretty special man. Take a look at the picture again. I can tell you that the bond of THAT woman and THAT Bride-to-be is absolutely unbreakable. She guided her, and absolutely LOVED her into the mold of the woman and bride she has become.
So many moms wonder what 'if'; when their child is diagnosed………..look at the picture above moms, the answer is yes.
No, we did not 'just get here', we got here through a lot of love and a lot of prayer. And she grew from age 2 to today overnight—-just 27 years in the making. May you find your way as well, and may God Bless you on that journey.
Diabetes Under Siege…….Only WE Can Change it!
If you look around the world today, you can easily see that there are many voices rising for many injustices. Injustices, in some cases, which have been occurring for decades; if not centuries. Speaking for myself, I'm glad to see the dial of injustices just begin to move. Women are as equal to any man and coming from the home/upbringing I came from, I never felt differently. When a black person cannot ride down the street and feel safe merely because they are in a 'wrong neighborhood'–there is something wrong.
All combinations of these injustices come into play but the important thing that I have seen, is that the voice to equalize wrong doing is loud and clear. People and media who thought they could say anything and do anything are finding out that is not the case so much these days. It needs to be honest and not merely to capture readers.
I'm encouraged now more than ever that new voices will move to the front of the pack and be heard.
Now my writing today is not about politics and the world around us. After all, ours is the diabetes world, right? For over twenty-five years I have heard so many injustices that those in the diabetes world feel. Real problems. I also feel like we move on from one problem to the next pressing problem, without first finishing the battle at hand.
Prices of insulin are still way too high. People are still becoming gravely ill and dying from the missed diagnosis of T1D. The world at large still does not understand the difference of diabetes…..and some actually believe one is lesser a problem than the other. Medicare and Medicaid needs help and guidance. And by and large people still are under the belief that everyone working in their own silo, and not united, is the best way to work……but is it?
If you follow the world lately, the two words that come to my mind more than any other are the words, "UNDER SIEGE". The groups of people demanding action is because they had enough…..'we are under siege and it stops now." The message is delivered and it is continued EVERYWHERE. It becomes one voice. Loud, clear, and most importantly: Unified.
It's now time. As long as all diabetes groups spend their efforts in 32 different arenas, no one will hear us. All diabetes groups can still do what they need to do; advocacy, college life, fund research, fund projects but why can't there be an underlying theme each year. Remember the "Year of the Child".
We are under siege but there are so many causes that no one cause is really moving the needle……is it? Why can't 2018 be the year Insulin costs are examined completely. Not for a press release how wonderful an organization is looking; but imagine for REAL action. If every trip up to Washington is about this topic, if every event is attached to that message, the message would be loud and clear.
"XYZ Charity held their walk today to help find a cure but Joe Smith the Walk Chairman stated, 'this is also to raise our voices about those who cannot afford to take insulin because the prices are too high. We need better examination of the current health care system." 2019; different topic, 2020; different topic.
Get it. I guarantee we will look back in 2023 and see how we have accomplished. If you looked back now; could we say that? It's time for everyone to 'do their thing' but with a message on an arch each year. Loud and clear.
Newly Diagnosed T1D in Your Family? A Letter FOR YOU!
Welcome. I'm sorry, but welcome. If the diagnosis of diabetes has entered your household and you feel as if the world has completely come undone, I would like to share a little of a journey that is now just over 25 years.
Kaitlyn was 2 when diagnosed in 1992 (Rob would be diagnosed at age 13 in March 2009, but that is a different story for a different time).
We were (are), probably a lot like you. Two parents working, no nannies, no really big house, no brand new cars, but we had much. Always did. We always and in all ways had an understanding of the smaller things. We never begrudge those who had more than us, 'good for them' we always thought—-we had what we needed. We never wanted to be more than where we were….we always wanted to be 'rich in our lifestyle'…….that would be fine with us.
When Kaitlyn was diagnosed and there was nothing but an abyss in front of us, the one thing we knew was that we would discuss EVERYTHING for the first short while until we figured this out. Nothing would be left for chance. Remember that.
At age 32, nothing but rosy days were expected. We knew bumps would happen, But on September 26th, 1992 our lives would change—-just like yours did.
What will we do? What do we do? What will happen? A tidal wave of monstrous proportion just wash our little boat of life and we had no way of knowing it was coming.
Maybe you have been at this for a week……perhaps a month……perhaps a year…..maybe more.
After we took Kaitlyn home from the hospital we sat down and talked. What do we do now? In our discussion, we decided that Jill would be the one to stop working. Once we found some balance, perhaps she would get something part time, but there were no expectations.
I was never afraid of work. To me it was always a matter of getting the job done, not so much as how it got done. What I mean is; when we started on this journey, whether it was driving town cars to working at a deli to making pizza–whatever it took to bring in extra money, I would do it and would do it with the appreciation that we just might make it no matter what the new normal would become.
We made sure I always found some time with the kids alone. Perhaps it was just taking them to McDonald's for pancakes and let Jill sleep in before I left for work on Sundays…..but it was something. What mattered was that the kids never knew that our lives were turned upside down—-I'm pretty sure, back then, we succeeded.
You go through a lot when all of a sudden a household of two salaries become one. We decided from the get-go, this would be a one-day-at-a-time journey. There was stress. It impacted our lives. It impacted our relationship with our families who probably never really fully understood why Jill and the kids showed up so much without me, because I was working. But it was more important that the kids were with their cousins, had holidays, enjoyed life; than us worrying about what anyone thought.
Sure it impacted our relationship also. But we also agreed that whatever was happening was our business and no one else's; we would get through it.
My point in this letter to you is that no matter what you are going through, it's just important that you keep going. That you stay in contact with your partner. That you do everything in your power to make sure that your child with diabetes, and all of your children, have as normal as a life that you can provide for them. Coloring Easter Eggs at a table together can be just as rewarding as taking all of your kids to an expensive Easter show together. Look for things, you will find them.
Make do with what you have—-openly discuss things with each other—-do not care what anyone else thinks—-stay the course. And always remember….guessing is wrong, EDUCATION is the equalizer in diabetes. Get some every chance you can.
Someone once said when a door closes a window opens—-well sometimes it's up to you to pry that window open and not wait for it to open on its own.
You got this…….you can make it……..one day at a time. Someday you will turn around and twenty-five years will have passed, and you will be two just months away from walking your daughter up the aisle.

RKO's Version Of SHE Still Impressive.
Chip Kaufmann | Asheville, N.C. United States | 04/18/2010
"Having reviewed the 1965 Hammer version with Ursula Andress, it's only fair to weigh in on the 1935 RKO version. Both films have their strengths and weaknesses but both are worthy in their own way (see my other review). There is much of KING KONG in this production from the use of redecorated sets (the giant doors that Kong breaks), a screenplay by Ruth Rose complete with choice dialogue, and a throbbing Max Steiner score (some of it recycled). This movie also marks the culmination of producer Merian C. Cooper's forays into the exotic that he began with his silent documentaries GRASS and CHANG (though without his creative partner director Ernest B. Schoedsack). It was also his most expensive production to date and was a box office failure which seems strange today. Though out of circulation for many years thanks to Raymond Rohauer (a film collector and preservationist), it can now be seen here restored (as much as possible) by Ray Harryhausen including a colorized version.
The title role was enacted by Helen Gahagen, a stage actress married to Melvyn Douglas, who brings a regal bearing to "She Who Must Be Obeyed". She has a marvelous voice and with her hair down, was quite lovely to see but the failure of the film ended her Hollywwood career. Years later she would oppose Richard Nixon in California but that's another story. Nigel Bruce is at his best as Holly, far removed from his later Doctor Watson. This was also RKO contract player Helen Mack's finest hour. Topping it off is legendary silent actor Gustav von Seyfertitz in a rare speaking role as the High Priest. Randolph Scott is Randolph Scott. Though slow in places, it has some extraordinary set pieces such as the avalanche and the temple ceremony which show 1930s special effects at their height. The story strays more from Haggard than the 1965 version but for fans of old Hollywood style exotic adventure, it's hard to beat. Also available in a less expensive version from Legend Films."

Troy Henderson provided this cool hunting report on his once in a lifetime monster buck from Saline county Kansas and just as importantly his son's first buck, a nice 10 point, taken the very next day. What a super season, congrats Troy! Pictures are small but you can double click on them to enlarge and really see how big this buck is !
Opening day of the 2009 Kansas rifle season started a little different than I had planned, a friend of mine was sitting not far from where I had been watching a nice typical 14 point for several weeks. Not wanting to ruin his opening morning I decided to walk some deep draws and hedge rows to the east, the night before was very cold and windy and the deer might be in heavy cover. I had covered about a mile when I heard a shot to the west. I turned from the hedge row I was following and began working my way into the wind through a wooded draw. I had stopped for a moment, looking through the trees and surrounding pasture when this buck came running down through the trees at me. I had 10 – 15 seconds to look at his rack, he stopped about 30 feet in front of me and presented a perfect broadside shot. Must say I've never done this before, but I was staring at his rack and not through my Leupold scope when I pulled the trigger on my Remington 700. Fairly sure I shot under him, he bolted for the creek and as he ran I looked and thought "there's no hole in this deer". Don't remember reloading but the next shot hit him good and 10 yards later he dropped.
I've shot a few bucks, nothing spectacular. The racks go above my desk and we all enjoy the back straps. Never took any field photos of the deer, just planned adding the rack to my collection and having the meat processed. Obviously, didn't know what a monster buck I had! My friend who had shot at, and missed this buck moments before I shot him, helped field dress and load him into my truck. We were talking about what a nice addition to my collection this would be. We later met up with some other friends to compare deer and then I realized what a giant buck this was. Another friend of mine a who is a successful bowhunter began making calls and soon we were in his garage with the measuring tape. His friends spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out how to score this big deer. I've never done it and wouldn't know where to start. Never really meant much to me, I've always thought the memories and stories are worth far more than a rack. After some discussion the total was 22 scorable points with a green gross score of 245 3/4. When they told me that I had to ask, so just how big is that? I guess it's pretty big.
By the way, I have attached a photo of my son's first buck which he took the very next afternoon.
I'm actually far more excited about him getting his first buck than I am about having a possible state record. He's 14 and took a really nice 10 point.
Awesome story Troy. Congratulations again!
Congratulations Troy, that is one serious monster buck! Get out there and find another one!
Not bad for a skinny old piece of dung from KANSAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Novosoft, developer of a popular backup utility Handy Backup, announces details of their new service designed to revolutionize the way businesses and individual consumers back up important data. The service is due for release in early 2013.
Novosoft, one of the leading providers of backup solutions for small and medium businesses, revealed details of the upcoming update to their Online Backup service. The list of planned changes includes improved billing, new authorization system, ultra-fast performance and new options for integrators and resellers. The renewed service is planned for launch in the beginning of 2013.
"Completing the new Online Backup service will be a major milestone for us," said Alexander Rassokhin, product manager of Handy Backup. "It is more than just another competitive feature that benefits our users and partners: it is a demonstration of the technology that we've been working on in the last two years. The service will be based on cloud version of Handy Backup that will interchange data with your local instance of Handy Backup, just the way it works in the Network Server edition of the program."
Handy Backup Network Server is Novosoft's enterprise solution that allows doing centralized backup of multiple computers that have client software installed on them. Client applications (Handy Backup Workstations) can read data, compress and encrypt it, and send the respective data stream to other Workstations. Backup operations are performed with the use of "delta copying" method: instead of overwriting files already backed up, Handy Backup computes differences and copies only modifications, saving time and network bandwidth.
"Most storage and file sharing services don't provide any optimization techniques at all," said Mr. Rassokhin.

roads, and one company about 1 mile from the river, on the road to Poolesville. Two companies of the Third Maine were placed near the mouth of the river, on the north side.
About 8 ;a. m. sunday, the 12th, General Pleasonton's cavalry, with a section of artillery, arrived, and reported that it was expected that the enemy would attempt the crossing of the river, in that vicinity. I immediately, sent Major Pitcher, with one additional company, to occupy the Poolesville road, and placed the remaining companies of the Third and Fourth Maine to guard the roads about the mouth of the Monocacy.
At 9 a. m. I heard firing on the Poolesville road, and soon learned that my pickets were engaging the enemy's cavalry. I then ordered forward two companies of the Third Maine as skirmishers on the right of the road, the two companies of the regiment under Major Pitcher being deployed on the left of the road, at the same time ordering one company of the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, stationed at the Aqueduct Bridge, to join its regiment at White's Ford.
At this time General Pleasonton made himself known to me, and assumed command, ordering four companies to support his battery. The artillery on both sides soon opened, and continued in action for about half an hour, when General Pleasonton ordered an advance of my force, together his cavalry, to be followed by the artillery. After the whole force had advanced about a quarter of a mile, the cavalry returned, and the artillery, which had moved forward but very little, opened, fire again, throwing shells, many of which fell in and about my line of skirmishers. The enemy replied with his guns. I immediately halted and sent word to the rear, acquainting General Pleasonton with the facts. The artillery firing on both sides soon ceased, and I moved forward with my infantry followed by a squadron of cavalry, to the position which had been occupied by the enemy's guns, and found the enemy rapidly retiring in the direction of White's Ford, having planted a gun about three-fourths of a mile from the road, in such position as to enfilade my line of skirmishers as they emerged from the woods. Halting my line, I sent to the general, informing him of the situation, and suggesting that the artillery be brought forward; but when General Pleasonton had arrived with artillery and cavalry, the last of the enemy had disappeared, together gun, in the direction of the river.
I understand that the delay in bringing up the re-enforcements was caused by their mistaking a force of ours, coming in the opposite direction from Poolesville, for that of the enemy (a misapprehension which was not corrected till I had sent Major Pitcher with two men to ascertain the character of the force.) I then proceeded across the field in the direction of White's Ford, followed by the artillery and cavalry. On arriving in sight of the ford, I found that the enemy had succeeded in crossing the river, and had placed guns in position on the opposite shore, from which they fired a few rounds across and then disappeared. After resting my men for half an hour, I returned to the mouth of the Monocacy, General Pleasonton having informed me that I could return to camp with my command.
My pickets captured 1 prisoner and 2 cavalry horses. Major Pitcher had his horse shot at the first which was received from the enemy, while in advance, conducting the skirmishers.

Here we are replacing 2no. High level sprayed spandrel panels at Camberwell Magistrates Court, London, SE5. Due to the obvious health and safety issue regarding falling glass these works were a priority for HMCS. The breakages occurred over a weekend and once an order was placed we carried out a same day survey (Monday) and the replacement glazing was carried out on the following Saturday.
To avoid two expensive consecutive weekend visits consisting of both glaziers and platform these works were completed in a single visit. The works consisted of two teams of glaziers attending site at 7am on a Saturday morning in conjunction with a lorry mounted platform (ordered and arranged by Empire). The two panels were hacked out and measured with a colour sample and sizes taken back to our works for manufacturing. Our works operate every Saturday and we ensured time was put aside for these panels to be cut and sprayed while the glazier waited.
The panels were manufactured in under two hours at our works. Our glazier returned to site with the newly manufactured panels by which time the damaged panels had been hacked and site swept clean ready for the installation of the replacements.
This is a good example of how our extensive in-house processing can assist customers by reducing site visits required to complete works which in-turn reduces the overall cost whilst minimising exposure to acute health and safety risks. These works had an order value of £4,800 + VAT and were completed on behalf of Her Majesty's Court Service via MITIE.

How do I us the Limit definition of derivative on #f(x)= 1/x#?
Calculus Derivatives Limit Definition of Derivative
AJ Speller
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) (f(x+h)-f(x))/h#
#f(x)=1/x#
#f(x+h)=1/(x+h)#
Make the substitutions for #f(x)# and #f(x+h)#
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) (1/(x+h)-1/x)/h#
Find the least common denominator
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) (1/(x+h) * x/x-1/x * (x+h)/(x+h))/h#
Simplify the numerator of the complex fraction
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) (x/(x(x+h))-(x+h)/(x(x+h)))/h#
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) ((x-(x+h))/(x(x+h)))/h#
Distribute the negative in the numerator
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) ((x-x-h)/(x(x+h)))/h#
Simplify the numerator
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) ((-h)/(x(x+h)))/h#
Division is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) (-h)/(x(x+h))*1/h#
Cancel the factors of #h# and simplify
#f'(x)=lim_(h->0) (-1)/(x(x+h))#
Substitute in the value of 0 for #h# and simplify
#=(-1)/(x(x+0))#
#=-1/(x(x))#
#=-1/x^2#

Princess Amalia, the Grand Ducal Family's youngest member, has made her very first public appearance. Around 2pm, she left the Maternité Grand-Duchesse Charlotte of the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg, where she was born on Sunday, in the arms of her doting mother, Princess Claire. Naturally Prince Félix was also present. It is normal in the Grand Duchy that a new mother and her child stay in the hospital for a two to five days after the birth.

Friday Night Music Fight - Life's Fleeting Nature

It's Not a Violin! A First Look at Christen Lien.
Posted by Brian G Flores on November 19, 2010
One of the artists I had the pleasure of meeting at the Future of Music Coalition Policy Summit was Christen Lien, a recent West Coast transplant to the DC area. Although she makes it clear that she plays a viola rather than a violin, her appeal to fans of strings and looping pedal wizards Andrew Bird and Final Fantasy/Owen Pallet is unmistakable.
Look forward to seeing more of her on the blog in coming weeks, but for now I'll leave you with the video for the opening track, Unabi, of her album Vol. 1 Battle Cry. Set against the backdrop of Detroit's abandoned factories and Diego Rivera's towering "Detroit Industry" mural, the video serves as a haunting yet hopeful elegy to a once magnificent city.

Wednesday Is For Goth Lovers
In honor of World Goth Day, today we bring you a Hump Day selection of old, new, and unconventional goth songs. Kick back, put on your Doc Martens, light up a clove cigarette, and enjoy.
Up first we have Portland-based quintet BlackWater HolyLight with "Sunrise", their heavy psych take on a modern murder ballad. The band just finished a tour of Europe in support of their self-titled debut, which came out last year on RidingEasy Records.
It strains the bounds of credulity to talk about goths and not mention The Mountain Goats' 2017 record of the same name. If you missed their recent 9:30 Club set, the band is playing a pair of (sold out) shows at Ottobar in July.
Musical genres are like rivers, full of twists and turns and channels that branch off and meander. One such offshoot is cholo goth, a style invented by San Diego duo Prayers. Combining goth and post-punk influences with gritty tales of street of gang life in Southern California, "Gothic Summer" both sou…
New Music Monday - Shura, Alison Sudol, and Jamie Drake
We have a trio of artists with recent or forthcoming releases for #NewMusicMonday. First up is the British electro-popster Shura. The child of a Russian actress and an English documentarian, Shura swims in the same ocean of astute, danceable synth-pop as Robyn and Rhye. An out lesbian as well an atheist, her fascination with religion and the notion of forbidden fruit shine through in the chic video for "religion (u can lay your hands me)". Her album, Forevher, dropped Friday on Secretly Canadian. You can catch her at Union Stage on October 18.
Next up we have Alison Sudol, or Queenie Goldstein for the Potterheads among us. The artist formerly known as A Fine Frenzy has been recording and releasing music under her own name since 2015. A multi-hyphenate talent who writes fiction in addition to acting and singing, Alison crafts hypnotic, literary-tinged pop music that wouldn't feel out of place in a playlist among Lykke Li, Bat for Lashes, and The Knife. You can catch her i…

Sketch artist captures Charlestown Mayor Bob Hall testifying
Anthony Sanders, attorney for the Institute for Justice, speaks at a rally in front of the Scott County Courthouse on Friday morning before a day-long hearing against the City of Charlestown. IJ represented homeowners of the Pleasant Ridge subdivision, who sued the city over its at-risk rental inspection ordinance that resulted in heavy fines.
ICYMI: Charlestown mayor testifies, defends rental inspection ordinance fines
By ELIZABETH BEILMAN

SCOTTSBURG — Charlestown Mayor Bob Hall testified as part of a day-long hearing in Scott County Circuit Court on Friday in defense of the city's at-risk rental inspection ordinance that has resulted in thousands of dollars of fines against property owners.
A special judge will make a decision in the coming weeks whether to order a preliminary injunction on enforcement of the ordinance at the request of the Pleasant Ridge Neighborhood Association and individual homeowners. An injunction would prevent the city from enacting its ordinance until the case is decided.
The Institute for Justice, a nonprofit law firm representing the Pleasant Ridge homeowners, argued Friday the city broke state law when it fined property owners without first giving them "reasonable time" to make repairs to return to compliance.
"We don't object to code enforcement," Anthony Sanders, IJ attorney who litigated the suit, said in his closing statement. "What these people are here for today ... [is] that the city must follow the law when it engages in code enforcement."
The city's attorneys argued that Charlestown has home rule, which states all powers of a city not expressed in law aren't to be taken away.
The lawsuit comes amid the city's efforts to redevelop the neighborhood, which may include tearing down homes to make way for a new subdivision.
On the witness stand, Hall testified his administration has worked since the early 2000s to transform Pleasant Ridge into "a safe and good neighborhood." He condemned the "rhetoric pending catastrophe" surrounding recent redevelopment efforts led by the city and carried out by a private developer, who has bought more than 150 rental homes.
"We've been taking the same approach to this in all of the redevelopment projects that we've done — is to recognize that code enforcement is necessary for safe housing and the people that are moving make sure that they have some place to go," said Hall, whose examination by his own attorneys included city initiatives to aid those who may be displaced by redevelopment.
The Institute for Justice took exception with Hall's stated objective in ensuring health and safety. Owners of Pleasant Ridge Redevelopment LLC — led by Louisville City FC chairman and president John Neace — were told if they demolished the houses they purchased then fines would be waived. Developers adopted those fines when they bought the homes from landlords, who decided to sell their properties rather than invest money to bring them up to code.
"That shows the reason for this is not health and safety," Sanders said. "The reason for this is whole redevelopment."
Tony Jackson, Charlestown Building Commissioner, testified that some citations were written days before they were mailed to homeowners, in some cases not reaching homeowners until the 10-day period for appeals was almost up.
Because violations started the day the citations were written, with fines accumulating every day of noncompliance, citations for a rental duplex owned by the neighborhood association showed fines in the thousands by the time they were received.
Pleasant Ridge Neighborhood Association President Josh Craven testified that the group made repairs to its duplex after it was cited, but Hall said after the hearing their fines haven't been waived — the neighborhood association just hasn't been forced to pay them. Rather, the fines continue to accumulate, Hall said.
The Institute for Justice in its witness examinations tried to emphasize the relationship between the city and Neace, quoting emails between the mayor and the developer.
In an email to Neace in January 2016, Hall wrote, "We are having landlords calling, wanting to sell their properties because they know code enforcement is coming June 1."
Hall testified that he knew code enforcement created an opportunity for developers to buy properties.
"I not only believed it, I knew that there was landlords that had come in and talked to me that said they were interested in selling their properties to Mr. Neace, that they were not going to fix [their properties] up," Hall said.
Many of these landlords signed a letter of intent to sell in 2014 for earlier efforts to redevelop the neighborhood. The city applied for $6 million in state grant money through a blight elimination program.
Craven told the court that one landlord who was a member of the neighborhood association, Jimmy Woods, initially didn't sign a letter of intent to sell. But after he was fined in 2014, Woods did sign a letter, Craven said.
Ellen Keith, a homeowner in Pleasant Ridge and plaintiff, said on the witness stand that Hall visited her house that summer, telling her "he was going to take all the properties in Pleasant Ridge." She claims he also told her they would do so by fining property owners, though she said it didn't come to mind until her deposition.
Charlestown City Attorney Mike Gillenwater maintained the city hasn't entered into any contractual agreements with developers for redeveloping Pleasant Ridge. Hall stated he still believes redeveloping the neighborhood is an "all or nothing" endeavor, meaning all homes must be demolished in order for any new ones to be built.
Since developers have boarded up vacant homes, Hall and Jackson testified animal control and crime calls to the neighborhood have decreased — though residents testified the opposite has occurred.
"Our police chief has told me many times that nearly half of all the calls of runs are in a very small part of the city in Pleasant Ridge," he said.
Over the years, houses turned from owner occupied to rental properties, changing the neighborhood's population.
"I know it's not politically correct to say, but when you have a low-rent district it invites people who are not contributing to society," Hall said.
A lengthy portion of Jackson's testimony spoke to the quality of the homes in Pleasant Ridge, built in the early 1940s to accommodate a large and quick influx of residents working at the former Indiana Army Ammunition Plant.
The building commissioner said homes were built to be temporary, with lower quality materials and constructed in a matter of days. Floors have bowed because insulation has deteriorated, hinges on piers holding up the homes have rusted and lost nails, Jackson said.
Hall told the court he owned and rented a home in Pleasant Ridge at one point but abandoned the endeavor because he said it wasn't economically feasibly to maintain.

Batman v Superman: The Box Office Battle Decades In The Making
Nick DeSantis Forbes Staff
I tell stories through data visualization, infographics and design.
The following infographics show just how the Man Of Steel fares against the Dark Knight in the battlefield of financial success.
As far as movies go, Batman still remains top dog in the DC superhero world
Design: Nick DeSantis, Forbes staff
After years of teaming up together on television screens, comic pages and fanboy's imaginations, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice finally brings The Last Son Of Krypton and The Caped Crusader together in the multiplex.
Gallery: Batman v Superman: The Box Office Battle Decades In The Making
Despite more than a few negative reviews, the Warner Bros. tentpole film and DC Cinematic Universe stepping stone should be a sure thing at the box office, with $25 million in pre-sale tickets and $7 million from international markets already in WB's coffers.
Even though audiences the world over will finally see super-powered fists fly, the two comic book icons have separately waged a decades-long battle for fans' money. The following infographics show just how the Man Of Steel fares against the Dark Knight in the battlefield of financial success.
1. The Most Expensive Comics Sold
Superman's first appearance in Action Comics #1 is easily the most coveted comic book in the entire medium, but Detective Comics #27, which introduced the world to a dark, purple-gloved, gun-toting vigilante named "The Bat-Man" remains a close second. The two issues' fortunes continue to rise over the years, with both issues enjoying sales that eclipsed $1 million in 2010 within days of each other, but as they stand today, Action Comics #1 sits on the throne as the most expensive comic book of all time, with a single copy selling on eBay in 2014 for $3.21 million. That number easily eclipses the $1.38 million that remains Detective Comics #27's highest sale.
WINNER: Superman
2. The "Classic" Era Movies: Box Office
Although Superman and Batman have both enjoyed decades of immense success in theatres, Superman was the first comic book superhero to attain true mainstream success on the silver screen (sorry, Adam West's 1966 Batman: The Movie).
In 1978, dazzled audiences believed that Christopher Reeve could fly to the tune of $499.02 million in 2016 inflated dollars. Unfortunately, Superman films would never again reach such stratospheric heights, with the subsequent three films losing box office just as much as they plummeted in quality, culminating in a $34.89 million thud, courtesy of the ill-fated superhero cheapie Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.
Batman had to wait until 1989 to enjoy his true debut on the big screen, with director Tim Burton's dark tone and infectious Joker performance by Jack Nicholson transforming superhero movies, and the perception of Batman (sorry again, Adam West), forever. Like Superman, Batman's subsequent three films experienced steadily decreasing box office, but they never suffered as hard of a drop as Superman. Batman's classic era of films ultimately brought in over $400 million more than Superman.
WINNER: Batman
3. The "Modern" Era Movies: Box Office
From 2005 to 2013, Superman and Batman films finally coexisted within the same timeframe, making their box office battle more visceral than ever. Unfortunately for Superman, his two entries, 2006's Superman Returns and 2013's Man Of Steel, never came close to Batman's big box office receipts. Anchored by the critically and commercially lauded The Dark Knight, Batman earned almost three times the money of Superman's films, bringing in a inflation-adjusted total of $1.43 billion, compared to Superman's $569 million.
4. Global Retail Sales
From lunchboxes and action figures to branded groceries and more (remember Superman Peanut Butter?), Superman and Batman are longtime reliable pitchmen for myriad different brands and products. However, according to The Licensing Letter in 2013, they simply can't flex the same marketing muscle as Marvel's Spider-Man, who lands himself in the three comma club with $1.3 billion in retail sales, compared to Batman and Superman's $494 million and $277 million, respectively.
WINNER: Spider-Man
5. Movie Actors' Salaries
Hiring a Batman or Superman for the silver screen requires two different considerations: Batman has often been played by a name actor, even if that actor, like Michael Keaton, wasn't previously known as an action star. Superman, on the other hand, has a long tradition of being played by unknowns, although those actors often receive quite a career boost after donning the red cape.
As a result, Batman salaries have typically been higher than Superman salaries, simply because a higher dollar amount is required to net yourself a marquee actor. Christian Bale has earned the most out of all Batman and Superman actors, thanks to a $20 million bonus awarded after The Dark Knight vastly over-performed for Warner Bros.
Correction: June 21, 2017
A previous version of this article, and accompanying infographic, erroneously stated that actor Henry Cavill earned $14 million for "Man of Steel." We regret the error, and will update this article when we have confirmation on the correct earnings figure.
Winner's Tally:
Batman: 3
Superman: 1
Spider-Man: 1
As far as movies go, Batman still remains top dog in the DC superhero world . However, with the DC Cinematic Universe just getting started, and with a huge slate of releases to come, Batman and Superman will be sharing the screen, and box offices grosses, in the years ahead. Despite this newfound movie friendship, the battle for the dollars in fans' wallets will surely continue, with fans taking sides with either Superman or Batman at the register.
