The pop music world that Bettye Lavette has been trying to conquer since her first hit in 1962 (Atlantic Records' "My Man, He's a Loving Man") has been a hardass.
The strange creature that freights the sweetness of melody and harmony with the cocked fangs of pure business and cold, hard cash hasn't given Lavette much in the way of returns.
Ironically, the toughest nut to crack has been hometown Detroit, where Lavette — unlike her local contemporaries Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Martha Reeves — has been unable to gain a multiracial crossover audience.
It's an unfortunate fact that Lavette writes off as bad luck and timing. In 1963, when the Sound of Young America was booming from countless car radios in the Motor City, Lavette had already made her way to New York, where the thrills were short and the heartaches long.
Her local misfortune continued when Cameo-Parkway, the label that in 1965 issued Lavette's most successful song, had distribution problems in the Midwest.
"It's so hurtful because 'Let Me Down Easy' was the biggest recording that ever happened to me," Lavette says, over the phone from her new home in New Jersey, where she moved from Detroit last July when she was married. "But at home, it helped me none."
The 58-year-old singer's career reads like a Shakespearean tragedy. It's littered with bright spots (hit records, Broadway) and low hits (death, missed opportunities, etc.) and best played on the black keys.
"I tend to take the B flat minor look at things," Lavette says. "It's OK with me to cry."
She was 17 when one of her managers took a bullet in the eye. The horrific accident helped kill a deal that might have propelled her to stardom. She missed an opportunity to work with Burt Bacharach.
Over the years, she's seen versions of her recordings become hit records for other artists, as in "He Made A Woman Out of Me," which went nowhere for Lavette but became huge for Bobbie Gentry.
Two years ago, Lavette's musical director of 35 years died while the singer was in the process of making A Woman Like Me, her first studio album in more than 20 years.
That's three strikes right there. But woes notwithstanding, the world's finally grinning on Lavette, who has been waiting years for another turn at bat.
But while some of her more obscure records typically fetch hundreds on Internet auctions, they don't make many playlists. Lavette long ago earned respect in the British Northern Soul movement, a trendy niche now fostered by neo/faux-soul hipsters who refuse to give up the ghost of maximum rhythm and blues.
And "soul singer" is a tag Lavette is glad to accept, but is uncomfortable with. It's a term she says was invented by white music fans to define a sound.
"Thank God they started this movement and brought us all out of the crypt, but they've put us in categories," Lavette says. "I'm a rhythm and blues singer and that's what I've been all my life. Whitney Houston isn't. She's a pop singer and Anita Baker's a pop-jazz singer, but Gladys Knight and Tina Turner and me are all rhythm and blues singers.
A Woman Like Me, a 12-song tour de force that may have for the first time captured the breadth of Lavette's vocal talents in a studio setting, is definitely a rhythm and blues album that leans on the blues side. It's not retrofitted to make Lavette sound like she did when she was a child, and it may initially alienate folks who have nostalgia in mind.
A Woman Like Me reveals a gifted songstress whose capacity for emotional nuance enables her to reach joyous heights and melancholic lows. She's hurt, vindictive, wounded, strong, hateful, loving, wanting and satisfied. On each of the 12 song-stories (most written by outside writers), she's compelling enough to draw in the listener, to hold the listener's attention.
Call it mature music, or call it blues for grown-ups, because its themes are aimed at those who've lived and learned. It's an album that deserves respect. In fact, A Woman Like Me earned the singer four Handy Award nominations, which will be decided in Memphis at the end of this month.
The Handy Awards, named after W.C. Handy, the man who is credited with the first published blues song, are this country's most prestigious awards in the fields of blues and soul music. Lavette's nominations include best blues album, best soul/blues album, best comeback album and best soul/blues singer.
Lavette's got her end-of-April itinerary in hand.
"I'm going to dash down to Memphis and see if I can get one of these Handys," she says. "If I do, I'm coming back and tying them to the back of the car and riding around Detroit. If I get all four, I'll really come back and holler out the window. They'll think somebody's campaigning for something."
More than a few Detroiters are beaming with pride that one of the city's own — and one of its most neglected — is finally getting just recognition.
"We raised that girl," says Sir Mack Rice, former member of the Falcons (from 1957 to 1963), whose "Mustang Sally" has become one of the lynchpins of rock, roll, blues and soul. "She was just a little girl who wanted to sing, and ever since then she's been climbing."
Rice first encountered Lavette in 1962 as Betty Haskin, a teenage fan and St. Agnes High School student who haunted clubs like the 20 Grand and the Graystone Ballroom.
Haskin wasn't long for the constraints of a girls' Catholic school. The people she sought to meet were the more progressive Northern High students, many of whom would later strike gold at Motown.
Lavette would hang out at Northern, but it wasn't Smokey Robinson or the nascent Temptations that she wanted to meet. It was Sherma Lavett, a friend whose last name Bettye adopted as her own, adding an "e" at the end.
"She knew everyone who was on the stage in Detroit, and I wanted to know her," Lavette explains. "So I started going with her to the 20 Grand and to the Graystone, and at the Graystone we met Timmy Shaw, who had a recording out at the time. And Johnny Mae Matthews was working with him."
Shaw introduced Lavette to Matthews, a savvy local music businesswoman, songwriter and producer with her own label. Matthews mined Lavette's talent by featuring her voice on "My Man."
Matthews — who is portrayed as a shrewd operator in the made-for-TV movie The Temptations — had the tools of a star-maker. But, like local producers operating on her level then (think Berry Gordy or Jack and Devora Brown of Fortune Records), Matthews was — according to Lavette — a shark swimming in shallow waters.
"She was possibly the first female producer of the day, and certainly the first black female producer. She at one time had the Temptations when they were the Distants, the Supremes when they were the Primettes, and she had the Falcons," explains Lavette.
Matthews intended "My Man, He's a Lovin' Man" for release on her Northern label, but Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records heard the tracks and quickly snatched up the single for national distribution.
"The people that I knew as stars were people like Ruth Brown and Clyde McPhatter and Ray Charles. These people were on that red and black label [Atlantic], and suddenly I was on it," says Lavette. "For black music, that was the absolute hottest label at the time."
The song went Top Ten in the R&B charts, and the 16-year-old Catholic schoolgirl became an instant celebrity.
Lavette sounds downright wistful when she recalls the moment the record hit: "For me to have just been at the Graystone literally the week before dancing to 'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King and the Drifters and then to be on the road with them like in 60 days.
"Yeah, it was really something."
Back at home and armed with a hit record, Lavette showed a shrewd business side by dumping Matthews' management and hooking up with well-connected manager Robert West.
By that time, Motown had hit pay dirt. With songs like the Miracles' "Shop Around," Mary Wells' "My Guy" and the Marvelettes "Please Mr. Postman" having already clocked in at No. 1 on the national pop charts, Hitsville U.S.A. was living up to its name. Every other Detroit record producer and label owner wanted a taste of what Motown had and maneuvered to get it.
In 1963, Herman Griffin — husband of Motown star Mary Wells — and West traveled to New York to negotiate the deal that would eventually place Wells with Twentieth Century Fox and sever that singer's ties with Motown.
"West was more or less negotiating the deal. He had worked with the Falcons and Atlantic and he had been to New York," Lavette says. "Most of these [Detroit] people had never talked to anyone from New York before. So if you had that, it gave you kind of a leg up."
West, a big man with a hot temper and a feverish regard for his artists, often carried a handgun. He would pay a price for this when he aimed the gun at Griffin in a boozy argument at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan.
"Herman was about 5-feet-5, and West was about 6-1 and noted for pulling this little ragged gun on everybody," Lavette says. "He pulled the gun out in the argument, and Herman ran toward him and pushed his hand back. The gun fired and went through West's eye, and through his brain."
While the pistol fracas left Griffin unharmed, it spelled a tragic end for West, who would die two years later from the injury. It was also a tragedy for Lavette, who — at the tender age of 17 — took up the reins of her career. Remember, this was the '60s, and the opportunities for women were thin at best, much less for a girl not yet 18.
After West's death, Lavette made her way out to New York and sat down with Jerry Wexler and demanded to be released from her contract.
Wexler obliged, begrudgingly, as he had just matched Lavette with a new young producer and songwriter named Burt Bacharach.
Wexler's Bacharach carrot didn't tempt Lavette. Conceivably, Lavette's career could've taken a Dionne Warwick-like trajectory.
"He wasn't the Burt Bacharach you know now," Lavette says. "He had one record, I had one. There's no way you could look upside his head and tell who he was going to be."
Lavette's instincts led her to a two-year stint at Small's Paradise in Manhattan where she was a featured vocalist with the Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford review. It was her first real education in stage showmanship.
With Lavette in mind, Ford penned "Let Me Down Easy," which became a Top 20 R&B hit in 1965 on Calla Records. In the ensuing years, the tune became Lavette's bread and butter. She has recorded fast versions, slow versions, disco versions and live versions. With its aching plea for a gentle end to a soured love affair, "Let Me Down Easy" embodies the ethos of what has become known as soul music. In three minutes, Lavette begs, screams and demands a show of kindness from an ex-lover.
Pounding the stage for two years at Small's gave Lavette the ammo she needed to put together a ballistic live show, which she carried with her when she left New York for Detroit in 1968.
"Betty didn't need a record," Rice says. "She's got the glamour and she's got the style and she knows what she's doing and she's loving it, and that's what I love about her."
Instead of returning home a conquering heroine like many of the Motown artists packing the Roostertail and the Fox Theatre then, Lavette's out-of-town successes and polished stage show went virtually unnoticed.
"The people in Detroit — my audience — is primarily black," Lavette says. "And when whites started coming into the city and knowing the clubs, I wasn't there. So when I came back they didn't know me. They only knew Motown."
While Lavette's career turns insured home-turf obscurity, the singer stayed her course.
Her 1970s recording sessions took her to Memphis and to Alabama's famed Muscle Shoals studio. She worked with everyone from Leland Rogers (brother to Kenny) to Memphis cult-hero Jim Dickinson during his stint with the Dixie Flyers.
Then she turned away from pop music and became a cast member in Broadway's Bubbling Brown Sugar. Onstage, alongside the likes of Cab Calloway, Lavette learned show business inside and out in a completely different arena. Lavette still regards her Broadway stint as one of her best career moves.
"That's the most fun I've ever had," she says. "When I got into show business I thought of it from a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers point of view. Lena Horne in long black gloves and big, big stages, and that was it."
Although many of her '70s recordings were shelved, forgotten or otherwise neglected, Lavette managed to release "Your Turn To Cry" on Atco in 1972, which she considers, alongside of "Let Me Down Easy," the best representation of her work until last year's Just Like A Woman.
Lavette and Giles Petard (a huge Lavette fan and an owner of a small French label called Art & Soul) compiled 14 sides culled from the singer's Atco and Atlantic sessions for a 2000 album Souvenirs.
That feat of detective work, which involved a lengthy search on Petard's part for the "lost" tapes that Lavette was sure were destroyed in a fire in Atlantic's vaults, may not have happened had interest in her career not been rekindled by the earlier release of a live set, Let Me Down Easy, on another small Euro label.
Although she may have been nearly invisible for years, Lavette never took her hands off the mic. At 16, she set out to become a singer, and 42 years later she continues to ply the trade, with both a teenager's enthusiasm and a grandmother's wisdom.
"Anytime people don't hear from you for a long time they think you've either taken a day gig or got strung out on drugs, but I have always done this," Lavette says.
Still, she remembers many nights spent whiling the time away in Detroit's Locker Room bar, where she was often perched on a bar stool with Pervis Jackson of the Spinners, a Detroit group that bubbled-under for 15 years before breaking big in the 1970s.
"I'd say, 'How in the hell did you hold on all that time when the Tops were making it and the Tempts were making it. Everyone was making it all around you and you were starving to death?'
"And Jackson said, 'Do you know how to do anything else?' And I said, 'Hell no.'"
For more than 40 years, Lavette's been pumping her change into the music industry's slot machine, hoping for the big payoff.
What's remarkable is the woman's ability to be a shouter while gingerly adopting the soft, melodious vocal technique of a jazz singer. She can get down and dirty onstage too. Outright nasty even. Her vocal cords have been stretched to the limit and her body's been danced to death — and she's far from retiring the dancing shoes.
"I'm still able to do a lot of dance movements in my show which most of my contemporaries who are almost 60 years old aren't doing," Lavette says.
Her skills have not gone unnoticed by local performers' Thornetta Davis and Norma Jean Bell, who owe Lavette a nod for her unflagging devotion to craft and her inspirational role as one of the top female vocalists to ever come out of Detroit.
"I am a person who studies performers," says Bell, who was a teenager when she first saw Lavette. "And I always learn what to do and what not to do, and she's a real show person. I think that that's what has kept her around because her records don't always sell well. …"
When Lavette refers to show business, she speaks in the abstract — almost bitterly — as if the music business is some stubborn Goliath that she's determined to fell.
"I've given it everything I have," Lavette says.
She cites Tina Turner as inspiration: "Her first records came out just a couple of years before mine, and I know how she feels now when I see her holding her stomach in and twisting and twirling.
"I know that she feels beat on when she gets off the stage like I do, but she had to do it because the business owed her money. She'd given it her whole life and they were finally offering her some money. She couldn't quit then. I can't quit now."
With the release of A Woman Like Me, Lavette is again poised for real recognition, and whether she leaves Memphis with a Handy award or not, the music cries out for a listen.
The album, while unfortunately a swan song for Lavette's musical director Rudy Robinson, is perhaps the first full-length studio work that the singer can call her own. Tell Me A Lie, the 1982 record she recorded for Motown, netted another successful single with "Right In The Middle (Of Falling in Love)," but the middle-of-the-road pop album, which flopped, was not a true representation of the singer. Befitting of Ripley's Believe It Or Not!, A Woman Like Me took approximately 40 years to make.
Though producer Dennis Walker — whose list of credits includes Robert Cray and B.B. King — penned the lion's share of tunes on the album, they were handpicked and adapted by Lavette.
"He had a tune called 'You Left Me Lonely' and I said, 'No one has ever left me lonely,'" Lavette says. "So I rewrote the song and changed it to 'A Woman Like Me.' He was just like, 'You've never won anything. I've won three Grammy awards and you're just taking my tunes and decimating them.' He let me do everything I wanted, that was the first time I've ever done that in a studio."
So far, A Woman Like Me has collected accolades, and things are looking good. Ry Cooder, in fact, wants to include Lavette in a future film and recording project.
Looking back over a storied career that has associated her with a bevy of record labels including National, Lupine, Big Wheel, Cameo-Parkway, Atlantic, Calla, Karen, Silver Fox, Atco, Epic, Street King, Bar None, a brief stint with Motown in the 1980s, and, most, recently Blues Express, Lavette speaks with worlds of experience, as the new record shows. It's a record by a women who knows the routes to bottom and to the top.

Corn Zone
One of the Figge Art Museum's most popular works of art, Michael Meilahn's Corn Zone will be on view in the ground floor orientation gallery from April 29 to September 18, 2011. The blown glass installation consists of spectacular oversize blown glass ears of corn, in a variety of shapes and colors, all suspended from the galley's ceiling.
Meilahn is both a farmer and an artist. The exhibition is about the fragility of glass and about genetic modification which consciously and unconsciously molds Meilahn's life and work. Museum patrons can experience a glass "corn field" and experience the story of corn, its production, and agriculture from the artist-farmer's perspective, elements of which can be seen in three massive video projections which accompany the installation.
"An ear of corn, in my world, is the point of convergence. That point just happened to my careers, farming and art. Corn is not the usual tool to convergence. Lines, rows, numbers, higher prices, lower prices, color spectrums, mapping, information technology, air masses, hybrids, and species commonly lead to convergence; but, corn has unwittingly been the catalyst" says Meilahn.
The exhibition is accompanied by a short video interview with the artist along with scenes of the artist at work in field and studio. Watch a video about Meilahn working in his studio on pieces for Corn Zone.
The multi-media installation Corn Zone was a gift to the museum in honor of Thomas Gildehaus, former board president, interim director and trustee.

How to Keep Employees Engaged During an Ownership Transition
Ensuring that your employees stay on course during your ownership transition should be one of your key areas of focus. There are many key steps that you should take during this delicate time. Let's explore the best tips for keeping your employees engaged throughout the entire ownership transition process.
Step 1 – Establish and Implement a Training Program Early On
If you are selling your business, then be certain that you train replacements early on in the process. Failure to do so can result in significant disruptions. Additionally, if you are buying a business it is of paramount importance that you are 100% confident that there are competent people staying on board after the sale.
Step 2 – Address Employee Concerns
No matter what your employees say or how they act, you must assume that they are worried about the future. After all, if you were them wouldn't you be concerned at the prospect of a sale? The best way to address these concerns is to meet with employees in small groups and discuss their concerns.
Step 3 – Don't Make Drastic Changes
Above all else, you want a smooth and fluid transition period. A key way to ensure that this time is as trouble-free as possible is to refrain from making any drastic changes before or after the transition. Remember the sale of the business is, in and of itself, shocking enough.
You don't want to add yet more disruption into the process by making changes that could be confusing or unsettling. In other words, keep the waters as calm as possible. Drastic changes could lead to employees quitting or worst of all, going to work for a competitor.
Step 4 – Focus on the Benefits
If possible focus on the benefits to your employees. It is your job as the new business owner to outline how the sale will benefit everyone. Don't let your employees' imaginations run wild with speculation. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happens when employees and management feel as though they are not receiving any information about the sale. So don't be mysterious or cryptic. Instead provide your employees with information, and keep the focus on how the changes will benefit them both personally and professionally.
Implementing these four steps will go a very long way towards helping to ensure a smooth transition period. Transition periods can be handled adeptly; it just takes preparation and patience.

If you are not aware of what market your residential property is set up to primarily appeal to, you will be leaving thousands of dollars on the table, and perhaps even worse, prolong the agony of watching your home sit on the market month after month.
The key to understanding a target market is through its demographic profile, or the type of people that make up that market. Once you fully understand which demographic you're targeting, you can then make the appropriate decisions as to the rest of the marketing plan.
Since an overwhelming percentage of renters are single women, it follows that a similar percentage of first time home buyers also are. Typically what a single woman is looking for in a home is diametrically opposite to what a single man seeks. If your house is outfitted as a "man cave" it will only be looked upon with derision from the single female potential buyer. Most women will gravitate to homes that are kept in spotless and ordered condition, with attention paid to decor and detail. Single women also react favourably to good curb appeal and tend to look for a home that evokes feelings of warmth and comfort. It is important to keep in mind the economic realities many single women face today and a plethora of amenities can be looked upon unfavourably. The single female generally seeks a residential property which is affordable and frowns on extravagant extras.
Due to the necessity of earning a dual income, this type of buyer doesn't spend all day at home thus can be accommodated in smaller premises than would suit a larger family. They typically seek a residential property that is well maintained, offers privacy, and is not overwhelming to keep up. These types of buyers tend to shun huge elaborate yards, or maintenance-heavy features such as swimming pools. Separate bathrooms easily accessible to the master bedroom are a plus, and failing that, twin sinks in the master bathroom are mandatory. Working couples also require larger closets and extra storage space to accommodate their requirements.
These buyers have children and generally entertain larger groups at one time than the other demographics, thus are primarily motivated by spacious floor plans, especially flowing ones with ample open areas and great rooms that can be suited to varying uses. Some of the other hot buttons for family buyers include large, well equipped laundry rooms and kitchens, Jack & Jill bathrooms (one bathroom accessible from two bedrooms) ample, fenced backyard space, and a position of the home that is considerably set back from a low traffic street, such as a cul de sac.
These older couples are looking for a home to comfortably relax in so that they can enjoy the lifestyle which has been crimped for decades by employment and parenting obligations. Low maintenance is the key to this demographic group, as they will look negatively on interior or exterior spaces which require constant upkeep, and will reject outright the option of hiring someone to perform that regular maintenance. Security is also very important to Empty Nesters, thus if your home is well equipped with security features, alarms, and is situated in a low crime neighbourhood, that is a factor that needs to be made amply clear to these individuals.
If you have a thorough understanding of the requirements and preferences of your buying market, your probability of providing exactly what your target group is looking for becomes as high as the offers which will be presented.

A man who set his house on fire then lured firefighters to their deaths in a blaze of flames and bullets had attracted little attention since he got out of prison in the 1990s for killing his grandmother, authorities said.
But two months ago, William Spengler's mother died, leaving the 62-year-old ex-con in a Lake Ontario house with his sister, who he "couldn't stand," a friend said.
Spengler set a car and a house in his neighborhood ablaze early Monday, luring firefighters to the neighborhood and then killed two, wounded two others and injured a police officer while several homes burned around him, police said. Spengler then killed himself. His sister, Cheryl, was missing.
About 100 people attended an impromptu memorial vigil Monday evening in Webster, a suburb of Rochester. Dozens of bouquets were left at the fire station, along with a handwritten sign that said, "Thanks for protecting us. RIP."
Spengler, had been living in the home in Webster, a suburb of Rochester, with his mother and sister since his parole in 1998. He had served 17 years in prison after the beating death of his 92-year-old grandmother in 1980, for which he had originally been charged with murder but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter. His mother, Arline, died in October.
On Monday, Spengler fired at the four firefighters when they arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. at the blaze, town police Chief Gerald Pickering said. The first police officer who arrived chased the gunman and exchanged shots.
Spengler lay in wait outdoors for the firefighters' arrival, then opened fire probably with a rifle and from atop an earthen berm, Pickering said. "It does appear it was a trap," he said.
Authorities used an armored vehicle to help residents flee dozens of homes on the shore of Lake Ontario a day before Christmas. Police restricted access to the neighborhood, and officials said it was unclear whether there were other bodies in the seven houses left to burn.
Authorities said Spengler hadn't done anything to bring himself to their attention since his parole. As a convicted felon, he wasn't allowed to possess weapons. Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said Spengler led a very quiet life after he got out of prison.
A friend said Spengler hated his sister. Roger Vercruysse lived next door to Spengler and recalled a man who doted on his mother, whose obituary suggested contributions to the West Webster Fire Department.
"He loved his mama to death," said Vercruysse, who last saw his friend about six months ago.
Vercruysse also said Spengler "couldn't stand his sister" and "stayed on one side of the house and she stayed on the other."
The West Webster Fire District learned of the fire early Monday after a report of a car and house on fire on Lake Road, on a narrow peninsula where Irondequoit Bay meets Lake Ontario, Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn said.
The fire appeared from a distance as a pulsating ball of flame glowing against the early morning sky, flames licking into treetops and reflecting on the water, with huge bursts of smoke billowing away in a brisk wind.
Emergency radio communications capture someone saying he "could see the muzzle flash coming at me" as Spengler carried out his ambush. The audio posted on the website RadioReference.com has someone reporting "firefighters are down" and saying "got to be rifle or shotgun – high powered … semi or fully auto."
Two of the firefighters arrived on a fire engine and two in their own vehicles, Pickering said. After Spengler fired, one of the wounded men fled, but the other three couldn't because of flying gunfire.
The police officer who exchanged gunfire with Spengler "in all likelihood saved many lives," Pickering said.
A police armored vehicle was used to recover two men, and eventually it removed 33 people from nearby homes, the police chief said. The gunfire initially kept firefighters from battling the blazes.
The dead men were identified as police Lt. Michael Chiapperini, 43, the Webster Police Department's public information officer; and 19-year-old Tomasz Kaczowka, also a 911 dispatcher.
Pickering described Chiapperini as a "lifetime firefighter" with nearly 20 years in the department, and he called Kaczowka a "tremendous young man."
Kaczowka's brother, reached at the family home Monday night, said he didn't want to talk.
The two wounded firefighters, Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino, were in guarded condition in the intensive care unit at Strong Memorial Hospital, authorities said. Both were awake and alert and are expected to recover.
Hofstetter, also a full-timer with the Rochester Fire Department, was hit once in the pelvis, and the bullet lodged in his spine, authorities said. Scardino was hit in the chest and knee.
At West Webster Fire Station 1, there were at least 20 bouquets on a bench in front and a bouquet of roses with three gold-and-white ribbons saying, "May they rest in peace," "In the line of duty" and "In memory of our fallen brothers."
A handwritten sign says, "Thanks for protecting us, RIP." Two candles were lit to honor the dead.
Grieving firefighters declined to talk to reporters. At an impromptu memorial vigil Monday evening, about 100 people stood in the cold night air, some holding candles. A fire department spokesman made a brief appearance, thanked them all and told them to go home and appreciate their families.
Cathy Bartlett was there with her teenage son, who was good friends with Kaczowka. Bartlett's husband, Mark Bartlett, has been a firefighter there for 25 years but missed the call this morning.
"Thank God my husband slept through the first alarm and didn't get up until the second one went off," she said.
The shooting and fires were in a neighborhood of seasonal and year-round homes set close together across the road from the lakeshore. The area is popular with recreational boaters but is normally quiet this time of year.
"We have very few calls for service in that location," Pickering said. "Webster is a tremendous community. We are a safe community, and to have a tragedy befall us like this is just horrendous."
O'Flynn lamented the violence, which comes on the heels of other shootings including the massacre of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"It's sad to see that this is becoming more commonplace in communities across the nation," O'Flynn said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the State Police and Office of Emergency Management were working with local authorities.
"Volunteer firefighters and police officers were injured and two were taken from us as they once again answered the call of duty," Cuomo said in a statement. "We as the community of New York mourn their loss as now two more families must spend the holidays without their loved ones."
Webster, a middle-class suburb, now is the scene of violence linked to house fires for two Decembers in a row.
Last Dec. 7, authorities say, a 15-year-old boy doused his home with gasoline and set it ablaze, killing his father and two brothers, 16 and 12. His mother and 13-year-old sister escaped with injuries. He is being prosecuted as an adult.

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD or TMJ), are notoriously difficult to diagnose and treat. Many of the related symptoms, such as headaches and earaches, often lead doctors to diagnose a sinus condition, as opposed to a problem with the jaw joint. TMJ symptoms often change in severity, depending on how much stress the sufferer is experiencing. During an intensely stressful period, grinding teeth, debilitating earaches, and lockjaw may occur. Botox® injections are sometimes an effective and painless way to alleviate tension in the temporomandibular joint, reducing jaw pain, headaches, and suffering.
Botox® is commonly associated with cosmetic practices, including eliminating glabellar lines and facial wrinkles. Recently however, Botox® has become an increasingly popular TMJ treatment. Although some TMJ symptoms may improve without any specific treatment, Botox® offers fast and long-lasting relief for those that do not.
Here are several of the major benefits Botox® offers TMJ sufferers:
The temporomandibular joint is located on both sides of the head where the skull adjoins the jawbone. This joint is constantly being used for a variety of daily activities, such as chewing, biting, speaking, and swallowing. The most prominent causes of TMJ are jaw displacement and stress-related involuntary jaw movements. Botox® expediently alleviates temporomandibular tension by relaxing the jaw muscles, thus preventing unconscious jaw movement and ending grinding-related headaches.
One of the major advantages of Botox® is that normal functions such as speaking, swallowing, and biting are left unaffected. The only major change is the reduction in pain and discomfort. In addition, controlling TMJ can also prevent serious dental problems from occurring later. TMJ, if left untreated, can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, and the loosening of teeth.
What's involved when getting Botox® injections?
Prior to administering Botox® injections, the dentist needs to check the patient's suitability for treatment. When used in conjunction with certain medications and substances, Botox® may not produce the desired results. It is exceptionally important therefore, to be honest about prior medical history. Botox® is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
The Botox® injections take 10-20 minutes to administer, depending on the amount required. Because it is non-surgical, the Botox® procedure will be performed at the dental office. Driving ability will not be impaired by the treatment, so there is no need for a designated driver. The injections are no more painful than a bug bite or pinprick, but nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can be used to reduce anxiety if necessary.
Normal activity can be resumed immediately after the Botox® treatment, but strenuous activity should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment. It may take several days to feel the full benefits of the treatment, but Botox® will continue to work for up to 3 months.
If you have any questions or concerns about TMJ or Botox® treatment, please contact our office.

While NexusDB is a completely newly designed product its conceptual foundations date back to 1986. At this time, ENZ, a German company, created a product called BTreeFiler for Turbo Pascal. BTreeFiler was a file-based database system which used the server purely as a file server. In time, Turbo Power sold BTreeFiler under license for ENZ. Turbo Power eventually bought BTreeFiler outright from ENZ.

With the launch of Delphi in 1995 TurboPower wrote FlashFiler and right at its release in 1996 was recognised as an efficient alternative to the standard BDE. This was version 1 of FlashFiler. The next version of FlashFiler was then released in 2000 as FlashFiler2, which included multi-threaded server capabilities and the ability to handle large files as well as other significant improvements including SQL support.

In 2002, a team of contracted developers associated with the FlashFiler2 redevelopment started on the enhancements and improvements required for the next version, FlashFiler3. This was delivered to TurboPower in December of 2002, mere weeks before Turbo Power ceased business.
The present and the future ...
Starting with this team, and building upon the strong heritage that stood before it, NexusDB has been designed, developed and implemented as a native VCL component based DBMS engine. This is just the next step in this remarkable product line.
With improved performance and increased functionality, NexusDB now provides a complete database solution for every modern developer.

Conference Approves Fee Increase
In September 2011, the Judicial Conference of the United States authorized an increase in the Judiciary's electronic public access fee in response to increasing costs for maintaining and enhancing the electronic public access system. The increase in the electronic public access (EPA) fee, from $.08 to $.10 per page, will take effect on April 1, 2012. The change is needed to continue to support and improve the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system, and to develop and implement the next generation of the Judiciary's Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system.
The EPA fee has not been increased since 2005. As mandated by Congress, the EPA program is funded entirely through user fees set by the Conference.
The Conference was mindful of the impact such an increase could have on other public entities and on public users accessing the system to obtain information on a particular case. For this reason, local, state, and federal government agencies will be exempted from the increase for three years. Moreover, PACER users who do not accrue charges of more than $15 in a quarterly billing cycle would not be charged a fee. (The current exemption is $10 per quarter.) The expanded exemption means that 75 to 80 percent of all users will still pay no fees.

Certification is an amazing pathway to getting a high paying career in some of the best jobs in the world without spending thousands of dollars attending a four-year college. The process is pretty simple actually. Candidates select a certificate they want such as CCNA. They train for it, pay a fee to take an exam, meet a list of requirements, and voila! They are certified in a specific field. There are literally hundreds of certifications in almost any subject involving high-level skills. From networking with Cisco to running a cloud server with Amazon AWS, certifications exist at every level of the industry.
You may know "what," certs are but you are probably curious as to "why," they matter. Did you know that millions of high-paying tech jobs went unfilled in 2018? Employers are desperate to hire skilled workers who possess tangible proof they can perform well on the job. Imagine working in an office making $60,000$ or $70,000 annually, after spending only a few intensive months getting certified. With certifications from providers like CompTIA, that is a reality. Better yet, the certification path never plateaus. It's a lifelong process where you can test, study, and acquire numerous certs advancing your skillset and increasing your value as an employee. Some certs like ISACA take many years to earn but you make a large six-figure sum annually and are a hot commodity on the market.
Getting a job in the Tech Industry is not difficult if you possess a good skillset. To prove that skillset though is near impossible. You can't just show up during the interview and say "I'm good with computers."
Without an industry approved certification from a vendor such as BACB, employers can't trust that you know what you know. Better yet, these certifications aren't just a piece of paper. Becoming A+ certified is hard-work but it automatically tells employers that you have a real world skillset, forged and tested. They teach amazing skills that will make your job easier and more rewarding. Whether it's a Cyber Security certification like Security+ or an MCSD certification, these complex certs take time, effort, and offer immense reward!
Certification takes time and money, so you want to pick a certificate awarding institution that has real world value. BACB is known for offering quality exams that give a variety of amazing certifications. You'll get world class work by taking any certification path they offer and hopefully learn some new incredible skills along the way! After all, BACB is industry renowned and produces employees that work all across the world in different tech niches. Whether it's one exam or many, you'll find everything BACB offers on ExamTopics so you can begin your journey to a rewarding career.
So it's exciting to know you can get certified and start making big bucks without spending years studying. But why would you choose us over other sources to help prep with?
At ExamTopics, we believe that you should work smarter and not harder. When seeking certification, it's common to be overwhelmed by the immense size of the IT industry as well as all the needed information to get certified. In fact, some certification providers offer short courses to potential candidates just so they can understand all the courses the provider offers! No one wants to spend hundreds of hours sorting through course material and supplies, especially if it won't be relevant to the exam or on the job work requirements. To combat this, websites offering stream-lined exam guides and excellent materials began to appear on the internet but many competing websites fail to be a good test prep source.

The Tribune, the largest selling daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind.

What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is the name for a group of eye conditions which damage the optic nerve. This nerve carries information from the light sensitive layer in your eye, the retina, to the brain where it is perceived as an image. The retina can be thought of as akin to the 'film' of a camera where light is focused. The information is then sent along the optic nerve.
All glaucomas have certain key features in common. These are increased pressure inside the eye, 'cupping' of the optic disc, and loss of the peripheral visual field. Any two of these 3 features is usually enough for there to be very strong risk of having glaucoma.
What controls pressure in the eye?
The eye is filled primarily with water based substances and liquids. Think of there being a 'tap' inside the eye – constantly producing fresh liquid. This 'tap' is a layer of cells behind the iris (the coloured part of the eye). The fluid produced is called 'aqueous'. This liquid is inside the eye, and is not connected to the tears.
The eye also has a 'drainage' system. The drains are located at the front of the eye, between the edge of the cornea and the iris.
So, increased pressure in the eye is due to increased production of fluid, or decreased drainage of fluid from the eye (or a combination of both).
How does increased pressure damage the nerve?
The mechanism of damage is unclear. Certainly, when the pressure goes up very suddenly (as in acute glaucoma), there is clearly a lack of blood supply to the nerve head in the eye. There are various other theories as to how the nerve damage actually occurs.
What is certainly known, is that LOWERING this pressure delays the progression of glaucoma. In sudden acute glaucoma, lowering the pressure can save the sight in an eye which is otherwise destined to lose vision.
How common is glaucoma?
It is one of the commonest reasons for blindness in the Western world. There are several different types. These include chronic simple glaucoma (the commonest type), acute glaucoma, congenital glaucoma and secondary glaucoma`s which arise secondary to some other condition or influence.
Who gets chronic glaucoma?
There are several 'risk factors' for developing chronic glaucoma. These are:
- Age – Chronic glaucoma is uncommon below the age of 40, but affects 1% of people over this age and 5% over 65.
- Race – People of Afro-Carribean origin have an increased risk of developing glaucoma.
- Family History – There is a 'genetic' element to glaucoma. If a close relative (parent/sibling) has Glaucoma, you should not worry, but ensure you have regular check-ups to detect any changes as early as possible, should they ever occur.
- Myopia – Very short sighted people are more at risk of developing chronic glaucoma.
Why can untreated chronic glaucoma cause serious loss of sight?
The main reason is that chronic glaucoma usually has NO SYMPTOMS. There is no pain and your eyesight will seem to be normal too, but silently, your vision is slowly deteriorating. Glaucoma tends to damage the peripheral field of view first so is not noticed by most. Only when the peripheral field has been significantly damaged, do some people start bumping into things, or see oncoming vehicles at the last minute for example.
How is chronic glaucoma detected?
There are few tests that can help detect glaucoma. These are:
Measuring the pressure inside the eye – often a puff of air or a special contact 'tonometer'
Examination of you 'visual field' – usually, a machine where you press a button when you see lights in your peripheral vision
Examination of your optic nerve by your optometrist.
All these tests are very straightforward, don't hurt and are be done by our optometrists at the practice.
Can chronic glaucoma be treated?
YES. A simple regimen of daily drops to the eye can delay progression of glaucoma in the vast majority of people. Sometimes, an operation called Trabeculectomy is required. Both of these treatments have been shown to be very effective indeed.
Acute Glaucoma
What is acute glaucoma?
This is a form of glaucoma where the pressure inside the eye shoots up very suddenly. It happens because of a physical blockage of the drainage channels inside the eye at the 'angle' of the eye (where the cornea meets the iris). This is why it is often referred to as 'Angle Closure Glaucoma'.
What are the symptoms of acute glaucoma?
Severe Pain – often, people wake up in the night with a very severe pain in 1 eye (although it can happen in both eyes simultaneously – this is uncommon).
Redness of the eye.
Blurred Vision – sometimes 'haloes' can be seen around bright lights.
Nausea & Vomiting.
How is the Acute Glaucoma treated?
Acute glaucoma is initially treated with powerful drugs to help bring down the pressure inside the eye very rapidly. Subsequently, depending on the nature of the cause of the attack, drops, laser, and surgery are the various options available to the surgeon.
A similar treatment, usually with laser only, is usually performed in the other eye, to ensure the same acute attack cannot happen there too.

Effectiveness comes down to producing desired results. The most successful entrepreneurs have mastered being effective because it makes them work smarter, eliminating unnecessary effort and wasted time. Success cannot happen with any consistency when approached in a lazy, haphazard, hit-or-miss fashion. Effectiveness is rooted in discipline and routine, not talent or genius. Successful entrepreneurs make sure to be detailed, organized and fully prepared before executing on any goal or plan.
Here are eight characteristics of effective entrepreneurs.
1. Visionary
Successful entrepreneurs spend a significant amount of time thinking, creating and visioning. Being innovative comes naturally to all of us if we can discipline ourselves to enjoy the process of being in constant discovery. The use of imagination is a successful entrepreneur's most powerful asset. The most effective entrepreneurs dare to dream, take action and turn their dreams into a reality. This visionary quality sets them apart from those who do not dare to dream as big. Standout entrepreneurs do not see a limit to their creativity, success, ability to make money, have a positive and lasting impact on others, or to involve themselves in new ventures.
Related: Are You a Goal-Setter or a Visionary?
2. Early Risers
The most effective entrepreneurs are early risers. They support the belief that the early bird gets the worm. They start their day visualizing what they want to achieve and speak affirmations of success over their mindset. Many also start their day with some form of physical activity. It's the method they use to wake themselves up, get their blood pumping and their mind alert and active. Getting up early and getting a jump on their day allows them to get into the office before others arrive. This gives them some time to set themselves, collect their thoughts and generate lists of priorities to most efficiently organize and tackle their day.
3. Scheduled
One of the easiest ways successful entrepreneurs increase effectiveness is through being scheduled. They live a schedule based on putting their responsibilities first and leisure activities second. Socializing is important and life-giving and successful entrepreneurs recognize the value in getting out to be around people, not just for the human interaction and feelings of interconnectedness, but because being around others reduces stress and increases innovation. The most effective entrepreneurs choose to schedule social time at the end of their day when work-pressures are off. When responsibilities are put first, this type of discipline helps successful entrepreneurs enjoy their free time unencumbered by nagging responsibilities that we not met during the day.
Ipsum pariatur excepteur dolore culpa anim commodo nostrud minim cillum consectetur. Anim cillum sit consequat excepteur id et dolor excepteur nisi excepteur.
The most effective entrepreneurs view boredom as the great killer of success, which is why they make sure never to be bored. They happily spend endless hours working and doing what they love to do. They have made it a habit to be open and curious about everything in life and in their field of work."Eloise Smith, Co-founder and CEO
