Thorn Hill, other stores keep business brisk at Foxshire Plaza

LANCASTER COUNTY

The Foxshire Plaza shopping center in Manheim Township kept Thomas Troccoli pretty busy this year.

Since its construction in the 1980s, "Foxshire has always been a center that has had no vacancies," said Troccoli, a vice president at Coldwell Banker Commercial Bennett Williams who has managed the property for more than two decades for Delaware-based owner Emory Hill Development Co.

Over the past nine months, however, the tenants of nine storefronts elected not to renew leases, Troccoli said. He and Emory Hill were "scratching our heads," wondering how hard it would be to fill the vacancies in the slow economy, he said.

However, "one by one, …

Herd seniors long to reverse losing ways

HUNTINGTON - Proper use of the well-known idiom would require oneto say Marshall's seniors have a fire in their bellies this summer.

A more accurate use, however, compels one to say they have aninferno in their stomachs.

A fire can be controlled; an inferno cannot.

Such is the ambition and determination driving the ThunderingHerd seniors as they prepare for their final season.

Like the green-and-white-clad fans who watched Marshall win moregames than any other college football team in America during the1990s, the seniors are sick of losing.

Three years of it has left a nasty taste in their mouths, like avomit burp that expels bile into the …

Anti-Americanism key to Putin's campaign

MOSCOW (AP) — It's a mantra of Vladimir Putin's presidential campaign: The U.S. is working to weaken Russia and push it back into the chaos that followed the Soviet collapse.

In a wave of anti-Americanism reminiscent of the Cold War, the prime minister has cast his opponents as U.S. lackeys and the new American ambassador has found himself under unprecedented attack, including being targeted in an offensive YouTube video that implies he is a pedophile.

Putin's posturing as a defender of national interests may help him win the March 4 election, but possibly at the cost of the "reset" of U.S.-Russian relations that has been one of the foreign policy achievements of Barack …

England beats Pakistan by 6 wickets

Kevin Pietersen's commanding, unbeaten 70 off 52 balls led England past Pakistan by six wickets with three balls remaining in the first World Twenty20 Super Eights match at Kensington Oval on Thursday.

Better hands in the field also proved the difference for England, which scored 148-4 to chase down Pakistan's 147-9 off 20 overs.

Pietersen hit two sixes and seven fours, and his match-winning single formalized the outcome that was more comfortable than it appeared.

Michael Lumb and Craig Kieswetter laid the foundation for Pietersen with an opening partnership of 44 off 5.4 overs. Both made 25 but Saeed Ajmal dropped Kieswetter twice and the …
