MARTINSBURG - One of downtown Martinsburg's most distinctive landmarks goes on the auction block next week - the Shenandoah Hotel will go to the highest bidder over the minimum bid of $550,000.
"It's time to go," Ben Fogle, the owner of Gateway Holdings LLC, which owns the Shenandoah Hotel, said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "I'm 77 years old and they tell me I won't live forever, so I want to plan my estate, clean it up for my heirs. You don't want to burden your children with properties that are hard to manage."
Fogle has owned the historic hotel at the corner of West Martin and North Queen streets for 12 years, he said, and had planned to sell it by the 10th year.

The historic Shenandoah Hotel in downtown Martinsburg is up for bids. It will be auctioned at noon Dec. 12.
"It was supposed to be a 10-year investment," he said. "I listed it (for sale) a couple of times, but we had a recession."
Fogle spent a lot on the property, renovating and restoring it, he said.
"Some investments don't work out," he said. "I won't make a profit. Call it my contribution to Martinsburg."
Fact Box
If you go:
What: Auction of Shenandoah Hotel
When: Noon, Dec. 12.
Where: 100 W. Martin St., Martinsburg.
For more information, contact Jeff Stein, Tranzon Fox, at 888-621-2110 or at email@example.com
Including the Shenandoah, Fogle owns six properties in downtown Martinsburg, according to the Gateway Holdings LLC website. Gateway Holdings LLC is located in Potomac, Md.
While the four upper floors of the hotel have been closed for several years, the first floor that fronts North Queen Street has recently housed a video/cafe business, a hair salon and a jewelry store.
The lobby, dining room and ballroom, accessed from West Martin Street, have been completely refurbished. These spaces are served by a complete commercial kitchen.
These areas have been the site of several recent community functions, such as Main Street Martinsburg's Doors to Christmas, GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Maloney's primary election-night headquarters and the luncheon for Jerry West during last year's Book Faire.
The Shenandoah opened Feb. 22, 1926, according to Volume II of the Berkeley County Historical Society's Pictorial and Architectural History of Berkeley County.
"Community spirit launched the idea of a downtown hotel in Martinsburg in 1922, and community loyalty funded it," the entry for the Shenandoah reads. "Funds contributed by members of the community made the opening of the hotel possible on Washington's Birthday, ... Visiting dignitaries and local, state and national political figures have been feted in its dining room and ballroom. ..."
The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a major contributing structure to Martinsburg's downtown historic district.
The Shenandoah is the "only surviving building of this major bulk and scale in Martinsburg," according to its listing on the downtown historic district's inventory.
The hotel stands five stories tall and the total floor space is about 56,000 square feet plus a 35-space parking lot, according to the property description made available by Tranzon Fox, the auctioneer company.
Tranzon Fox's corporate headquarters are in Virginia Beach, Va. Jeff Stein, a partner in the company, is handling the sale. His office is in Fairfax, Va.
"We've had interest from groups looking at it - groups of investors," Stein said Tuesday during an inspection tour of the property.
The first floor could have a variety of uses, such as a banquet facility or a restaurant in addition to the retail space, he said.
"The upper floors have a lot of potential uses, like senior housing, veterans' housing, apartments," Stein said. "There's not a huge demand for office space in downtown Martinsburg, but offices would be a viable use."
He added that the upper floors can be configured any way the buyer would want because they need to be completely renovated, including electric, plumbing and walls.
"The floors upstairs are a shell," Stein said. "The original hotel rooms were much smaller than modern hotels. You would have to combine rooms to get decent space."
He hopes someone will buy the building and "bring it back to its full grandeur, someone with energy and vision," Stein said. "It's a steal for $550,000."

Fats Waller

Not only was
Fats Waller
one of the greatest pianists jazz has ever known, he was also one of its most exuberantly funny entertainers -- and as so often happens, one facet tends to obscure the other. His extraordinarily light and flexible touch belied his ample physical girth; he could swing as hard as any pianist alive or dead in his classic
James P. Johnson
-derived stride manner, with a powerful left hand delivering the octaves and tenths in a tireless, rapid, seamless stream.
also pioneered the use of the pipe organ and Hammond organ in jazz -- he called the pipe organ the "God box" -- adapting his irresistible sense of swing to the pedals and a staccato right hand while making imaginative changes of the registration. As a composer and improviser, his melodic invention rarely flagged, and he contributed fistfuls of joyous yet paradoxically winsome songs like "Honeysuckle Rose," "Ain't Misbehavin,'" "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now," "Blue Turning Grey Over You" and the extraordinary "Jitterbug Waltz" to the jazz repertoire.
During his lifetime and afterwards, though,
Fats Waller
was best known to the world for his outsized comic personality and sly vocals, where he would send up trashy tunes that Victor Records made him record with his nifty combo,
Fats Waller & His Rhythm
. Yet on virtually any of his records, whether the song is an evergreen standard or the most trite bit of doggerel that a Tin Pan Alley hack could serve up, you will hear a winning combination of good knockabout humor, foot-tapping rhythm and fantastic piano playing. Today, almost all of
Fats Waller
's studio recordings can be found on RCA's on-again-off-again series
The Complete Fats Waller
, which commenced on LPs in 1975 and was still in progress during the 1990s.
Thomas "Fats" Waller
came from a Harlem household where his father was a Baptist lay preacher and his mother played piano and organ.
took up the piano at age six, playing in a school orchestra led by
Edgar Sampson
Chick Webb
fame). After his mother died when he was 14,
moved into the home of pianist Russell Brooks, where he met and studied with
James P. Johnson
. Later,
also received classical lessons from
Carl Bohm
and the famous pianist
Leopold Godowsky
. After making his first record at age 18 for Okeh in 1922, "Birmingham Blues"/"'Muscle Shoals Blues,"" he backed various blues singers and worked as house pianist and organist at rent parties and in movie theaters and clubs. He began to attract attention as a composer during the early- and mid-'20s, forming a most fruitful alliance with lyricist
Andy Razaf
that resulted in three Broadway shows in the late '20s, Keep Shufflin', Load of Coal, and Hot Chocolates.
started making records for Victor in 1926; his most significant early records for that label were a series of brilliant 1929 solo piano sides of his own compositions like "Handful of Keys" and "Smashing Thirds." After finally signing an exclusive Victor contract in 1934, he began the long-running, prolific series of records with
His Rhythm
, which won him great fame and produced several hits, including "Your Feet's Too Big," "The Joint Is Jumpin'" and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." He began to appear in films like Hooray for Love and King of Burlesque in 1935 while continuing regular appearances on radio that dated back to 1923. He toured Europe in 1938, made organ recordings in London for HMV, and appeared on one of the first television broadcasts. He returned to London the following spring to record his most extensive composition, "London Suite" for piano and percussion, and embark on an extensive continental tour (which, alas, was canceled by fears of impending war with Germany). Well aware of the popularity of big bands in the '30s,
tried to form his own, but they were short-lived.
Into the 1940s,
's touring schedule of the U.S. escalated, he contributed music to another musical, Early to Bed, the film appearances kept coming (including a memorable stretch of Stormy Weather where he led an all-star band that included
Benny Carter
Slam Stewart
Zutty Singleton
), the recordings continued to flow, and he continued to eat and drink in extremely heavy quantities. Years of draining alimony squabbles, plus overindulgence and, no doubt, frustration over not being taken more seriously as an artist, began to wear the pianist down. Finally, after becoming ill during a gig at the Zanzibar Room in Hollywood in December, 1943,
boarded the Santa Fe Chief train for the long trip back to New York. He never made it, dying of pneumonia aboard the train during a stop at Union Station in Kansas City.
While every clown longs to play Hamlet as per the cliche -- and
did have so-called serious musical pretensions, longing to follow in
George Gershwin
's footsteps and compose concert music -- it probably was not in the cards anyway due to the racial barriers of the first half of the 20th century. Besides, given the fact that
influenced a long line of pianists of and after his time, including
Count Basie
(who studied with
Teddy Wilson
Art Tatum
Thelonious Monk
Dave Brubeck
and countless others, his impact has been truly profound.

When former Spoleto Festival USA Director Gian Carlo Menotti arrived in Charleston each year, his welcoming committee was a plate of homemade brownies.
The tradition started at a party longtime Spoleto volunteer Sandra Lipton held for orchestra members, many of whom are in the city rehearsing as early as May 1.
I thought those people needed some home hospitality, she said.
She and her now-retired husband, Morey Lipton, opened their home for the musical crew, and Lipton made most of the food. During the party, Liptons young daughter Ellen spotted Menotti pocketing napkin-swathed brownies.
She asked him if he liked her mothers dessert, and he responded excitedly in Italian.
He made a big deal, Lipton recalled. So I offered to make more, and then every year I would get a phone call confirming where to send them.
Sandras brownies made it all the way to Vogue magazine, where they were mentioned in a story about Menottis Charleston connections. But a chocolate baked good isnt what makes Sandra Lipton, or the Lipton family, a Spoleto cornerstone.
In March 1976, Lipton received a call to volunteer for a new Charleston festival that had just received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
She was intrigued by the idea of an arts festival with ties to Italy, and she accepted an assignment with the Housing Committee.
After some shuffling of the ranks, Lipton became chairwoman of the committee. The task was daunting, but her husband encouraged her to stick with it.
He told me, Youll be on the first real local committee and your job can just be damage control,? she said.
That led to a role with the Spoleto Scene Steering Committee, which was started to encourage patronage of the festival. Lipton held fundraisers and special events to honor the turquoise button-wearers who donated time and money.
Lipton spent most of her time in the office, then located at the College of Charleston, making phone calls and creating mailing lists. She was among the first people to call arts organizations around the nation and publicize Spoleto.
It got to be addictive, and I went sometimes two and three days a week, she said. I knew it was going to be the greatest thing that ever happened to Charleston.
She quickly convinced her family to join as well. The first recruit was her husband. Morey volunteered as festival physician and the couple began to make many lifelong friends, including Charles Wadsworth.
Wadsworth was talking and eating one night which is not a good thing to do and he bit his tongue right down the middle, said Morey Lipton, who writes for the Charleston Mercury.
Lipton stitched him up quickly, and Wadsworth returned to the stage that same night. It wasnt uncommon for performers to have incidents before or after their shows, and Lipton learned quickly to know when medical attention was needed.
I got to meet everyone, he said. The opera singers, especially, always showed up throat-bound right before opening night. I did a lot of reassuring in that part of the job.
Throughout the years the Lipton family maintained a close relationship with Menotti. They often invited him for dinner when he was in town, and when their daughter Ellen, who was a festival apprentice, visited Italy during her junior year of college, she was treated like a member of the Menotti family.
We knew him quite well, so it was very sad when ways parted, Sandra Lipton said. I always say hes the goose that laid the golden egg.
In nearly 25 years as a volunteer and eight years on the festivals board of directors, Lipton served purely for the love of it, she said.
She and her husband still attend many performances each season. They even have had the artists stay in their Johns Island home for short periods of time, and when rickshaws and taxis were hard to find, they offered rides to the performers and attendees.
The festival ran into our life, it just got incorporated and the people who come every year became our honorary family, she said.
Volunteer Coordinator David Graham, who manages 16 people in his office, said thats the case for a lot of volunteers.
They love the arts, want to give back and can spare the time, he said. Were very grateful for them. Without the help, it would be a madhouse of phones ringing.
Even now, Graham spots Sandra Lipton visiting the offices at the festival headquarters on George Street.
My mind is still working like a volunteer, she said.
She never missed a festival, only a day here and there. As a lifelong Charlestonian who spent her childhood days on Grove Street, Lipton sees firsthand what Spoleto has brought to her hometowns economy.
Spoleto has raised the bar for the arts in this community, she said. It has brought all kinds of people who retire or can work from anywhere and those people support the arts and restaurants and make so many things possible in Charleston, a little sleepy Southern town.
She paused, and theres a smile in her voice.
Its been a wonderful trip. Im proud that I knew it was going to be great.

The sysadvent blog it's up and running again. In this period of the year you'll find there 1 great post every day, so keep it in your bookmarks !
This was written by Michael Stahnke last year, but it's till good to me.
It's happened. The DevOps term has been picked up by everybody and their brother. From analysts, to marketing firms, to recruiters, the term is everywhere. Beyond it being a very loud echo chamber, it sparks debate. I see tweets and complaints all over the blogosphere about how hiring a 'DevOps' team, or being a 'DevOps' isn't the proper adoption of this methodology. That may be true, but arguing about it seems to only be a net-loss from the collective brain-power reading and responding to said internet ramblings rather than solving difficult systems problems.
The push has been largely around culture. DevOps is culture. I'll agree with that, but it's not just being rockstar-ninja-superheros operating at web-scale.
I'll pick up my story in 2007. I had just moved to a new state, new team, new role as a system administrator (mostly doing Unix/Linux). This move was at the exact same company I had worked at since 2002. This move wasn't a promotion. The Unix team, a seven person team, had had five amazing system admins quit in span of about 60 days. On paper, me taking this job sounded like a horrible idea, so why was it interesting to me? Unlike the rest of $Company, this business unit did things a little bit differently. For some reason, they purchased hardware not on the approved list. They let you run Linux on your desktop. However, the thing that was most interesting to me was the software stack: they ran on Open Source. The most profitable business unit in $Company ran huge amounts of open source software! It was awesome. Rather than drowning in Tivoli, HP, CA and BMC system tools, they had tooling set up with nagios, irc, subversion, cfengine, trac and copious amounts of perl.
This spoke a bit about the culture of the business unit IT department.

WELLSVILLE - A firm whose parent company is active in the regional shale gas boom intends to become part of Marathon Petroleum Corp.'s proposed expansion into the Columbiana County Port Authority industrial park.
Marathon issued a news release Tuesday announcing it had signed a letter of intent with the Harvest Pipeline Co. to jointly develop a transfer system at the industrial park to ship oil and gas from the Utica shale fields in the region by barge.
Marathon has a storage tank/transfer facility next to the port authority's industrial park located on the Ohio River at the southern end of Wellsville. Several months ago, Marathon purchased 3.6 acres of port authority property, which will be developed into a staging area for trucks transporting oil and gas collected from area wells, with a pipeline transferring the materials to its storage tanks next door.
Harvest is apparently going to lease the port authority property acquired from Marathon and operate the transfer system. According to the news release, the expansion includes modifying the river terminal "to accommodate the additional volume for loading onto barges, and a new truck rack to be built on the property leased by Harvest Pipeline next to the (Marathon) facility."
Harvest operates a network of pipelines, plants and terminals across south Texas and Louisiana. The company is an affiliate of Hilcorp Energy Co., a leading oil and gas producer that has recently become increasingly active in leasing acreage in Ohio's Utica shale, especially in Mahoning County.
When completed by the end of 2013, the Wellsville facility will be capable of unloading 24,000 barrels per day from trucks, with the terminal able to load up 50,000 barrels per day onto barges bound for refineries.
"With two of our refineries literally on top of the Utica shale formation, we are committed to positioning ourselves as the customer of choice for liquids production from the Utica," said George Shaffner, Marathon's senior vice president of transportation and logistics.
Shaffner also said in the news release that the deal with Harvest Pipeline represents Marathon's second major investment in regard to Utica shale play, with the other being an expansion of the truck-handling capacity at its Canton refinery.
Port CEO Tracy Drake was obviously pleased with the news of Harvest/Hilcorp's involvement in the Marathon project.
"These are two significant players in the industry and it bodes well for Columbiana County," he said.

Ball shows better speed at Wisconsin pro day
Improves 40-yard dash time by two-tenths of a second
Running back Montee Ball was clocked in the 40-yard dash at 4.46 seconds, a big improvement over his combine time, at Wisconsin's pro day.
The two-time All-American and NCAA's career touchdown leader ran a disappointing 4.66 last month at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
Ball was among a group of former Badgers players who worked out for a large contingent of NFL scouts, coaches and general managers on Wednesday. At least 17 teams were represented at the event, including the Packers, Ravens, Seahawks, Saints and Patriots.
Ball's 40 time at the combine ranked 19th out of 33 running backs. He says he was dealing with a sinus infection in Indianapolis that might have slowed him down.

Sure we can see what programs are running, save their window sizes/locations and try to work out for certain common apps what documents are loaded, but as a general purpose solution it's a bit of a pipe-dream.
When using group art, does Alt Tab also show groups and/or let you manage them? Some sort of full screen mode for this would be great for the people who open many windows.
The last example of the group bar really caught my attention - I showed it to a few of my close friends and they just went 'Wow! I want it'.
We did a bit of on-the-spot brain storming and decided it would be cool to use the idea's behind the group bar + the concepts shown in the next media groups video (http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=14275).
We decided that windows-tab was a useless key combo, and that it instead should turn all open windows into thumbnails, like in the media browser. From there, you can either click on an application to bring it to the front, or you can .. drag it to a group (known as a bin in media browser - just sounds a bit funny when dealing with applications). Once that is done, the group is automatically assigned a colour (just as in the group bar.. but you can also assign a more meaningful name) .. You can then drag other applications into its group.
Switching between groups is then just a matter of pressing windows-tab (tapping tab switches groups, holding tab down (no tapping) keeps the group bar up (not really a bar now is it ).
I also think this would work well for those who massively multi-task, and would display many applications well, just as media browser displays many photo's well.
(as a final note, just as you can display all photos in media browser, you could also display all applications (no group\colour filtering), and thus it would also work as another form of alt-tab.
Going off on a tangent now, the ability to rehydrate applications ... umm, is it possible to have windows always load off a hibernation file? If you used a *fresh* hibernation file (i mean hibernating windows as soon as it has just finished start up, and then booting off that file always (except when a restart is needed)) to reduce start up time, and then rehydrating apps so you would have many of the benefits of hibernation (short start up and working from where you stopped).
I guess with longhorn, and its push for two power states, hibernation will be come increasingly more common, so that kind of thing would have very little value.
UltraMon is a utility for multi-monitor systems, designed to increase productivity and unlock the full potential of multiple monitors.
Jus few days ago I download GroupBar from MS Reseearch site. You can try it too here >> http://research.microsoft.com/vibe/groupbar.aspx. Another interesting invention is SideShow - not to be confused with Vista's SideShow. I didn't really used it GroupBar much, though the snapshot feature looked really useful. As for the minimized apps on the desktop, I have seen that idea some time ago. It's also available with some Window managers. And as for the dragon drop (that's what I heard at first - makes a cool name) I think I have seen it in a game before but it's really cool to see good ideas leak to software we're going to use everyday. I don't want sound like I don't respect the VIBE guys, on the contrary, I'm their fan and I'm really looking forward to what they are going to do in Blackcomb.
Using multi monitors ? the Software at http://www.murgee.com/MurGeeMon/ can be really helpful

Canisius failed to make it two road upsets in a row as a career night by senior Billy Baron wasn't enough to prevent the Golden Griffins from dropping an 89-74 decision to No. 21 UNLV late Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Baron poured in 30 points, including 18 on 5-of-8 shooting during the first half. The Griffs trailed, 46-39, at halftime.
Canisius (8-3) shot nearly 45 percent from three-point range and 40.3 percent from the floor overall but settled for too many outside shots and didn't get to the line too often, according to coach Jim Baron. After making 16-of-18 free throws in Wednesday's win at Temple, the Griffs went 7 of 8 from the line Saturday night. While they shot well from three, they only had 12 assists as a team, half the number the Runnin' Rebels (11-1) finished with. Billy Baron dished out six assists.
Anthony Bennett led five UNLV players in double figures with 21 points while Khem Birch added 20. UNLV, winners of eight straight, shot 59.6 percent from the floor.
Harold Washington added 17 points for Canisius, which returns to action at 7 p.m. Thursday versus Alcorn State at the Koessler Center.
Aztecs earn win
HONOLULU — Jamaal Franklin had a double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds and No. 18 San Diego State held off Indiana State, 62-55, on Sunday in the Diamond Head Classic tournament in Honolulu.
Chase Tapley scored 13 points and the Aztecs (11-1) won despite poor free-throw (18-28) and three-point shooting (4-17).
San Diego State pulled ahead for good during a seven-point run that included five straight points from Tapley. With less than five minutes to play, Tapley drove to the basket and was stopped by Jake Odum, who was called for an excessive foul. Tapley made two free throws and a quick three-pointer on the ensuing possession, giving the Aztecs a 51-44 lead.
The Sycamores (6-4) got no closer than three points from there.

INWOOD - After being shut out by Preston 5-0 Friday, Musselman scored its first goal of the season on a rebounded shot into the upper left corner of the net by Eric Sencindiver in the 60th minute.
As the Applemen attempted to find an equalizer late in the game, the final whistle blew and Musselman suffered its second straight defeat with a 2-1 loss to Elkins Saturday.
"We had to fight for momentum, and we claimed it when we scored," said Applemen assistant coach Randy Brock, who was filling in for coach Gino Marchese. "Once we got it, we ran out of time to put a second one in."

Lady Luck was not in Musselman's corner early in the match as the Tigers took the majority of their 18 shots at the goal, with 11 on target in the first 45 minutes of the match. That resulted in two scores for Elkins.
"The ball bounced the wrong way for us early," Brock said. "We took physical play and did very well learning from our mistakes as a young team."
"Each game is based off of how the ball bounces," Elkins coach Andy Montgomery said. "There were a couple instances where the game could have completely turned the other way."
In the sixth minute, Linkoln Barger fired a shot at the net that was stopped by Martin, who went to his left to make the save. The ball ricocheted off of Martin's hands back to Barger's foot. The second shot went the opposite way for the opening goal.
Offensive jitters affected both sides as opportunities to score were missed, including an attempt by Musselman to tie the game. Elkins keeper Tyler Grant had a ball get past him, but the Applemen failed to scored and trailed 1-0 at halftime.
"We know our defense can be counted on, but they just can't do it all," Montgomery said. "We asked our defense to help carry the ball up the field for us as a team, because we knew that the keeper was good, and he proved that from the first half."
As Elkins started to attack around the 45th minute, a foul was called, resulting in a direct free kick for Elkins.
Mason Schoonover placed a shot into the back of the net past a diving Martin in the upper-left corner to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
Fifteen minutes later, Musselman scored on the rebounded shot by Sencindiver, but as time ran down, the Applemen struggled to finish and put a second goal in.
"We couldn't finish at the net," Brock said. "That really is our weakness."

Burlington, NC -- A driver was unharmed when a train hit his car while he was stuck on a set of train tracks, according to police.
Police arrived on the scene near N. Main St. and Webb Ave. just before 9 a.m. Saturday. When they arrived, police found a 2002 Buick that had been struck by an Amtrak train.
The driver, 67-year-old Charlie Ellison, of Burlington, told detectives his car got stuck on the tracks as the train approached. Ellison said the crossing arms came down as the train came near, trapping him on the tracks.
As the train approached, Ellison got out of his car and ran off the tracks before the train struck his car, according to police.
The Amtrak train was traveling between 25 and 30 miles per hour at the time of the collision. The train, which had 72 passengers on board, was slowing down to make a stop the Burlington train station.
Ellison was not injured, neither were any of the train's passengers.
Detectives say the damage to Ellison's car totaled about $5,000. The train didn't suffer any damage.

Should You Use a Textbook to Teach Legal Research?
Nancy P. Johnson
Georgia State University College of Law
Law Library Journal, Vol. 103, Summer 2011
Georgia State University College of Law, Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2011-14
Legal research professors have struggled with the question of assigning and using a text in class. Since there are many excellent legal research texts available, instructors may feel their students need a safety net of a printed textbook. For professors who decide to use a textbook, this article includes reviews of selected current legal research texts. On the other hand, professors may believe that many students do not read their legal research texts and prefer teaching without a textbook. Instead, they may use a series of web sites, PowerPoint slides, tutorials, podcasts, and electronic texts. The article also discusses student reaction to a legal research class at Georgia State University College of Law that does not use a textbook.

CALGARY, Alberta � Paul Stastny found the perfect time to score his first two goals of the season.
With the score tied late in the third period, Stastny notched the go-ahead goal on a power play and then added an insurance goal to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a 6-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
�Sometimes you�ve just got to take it to the net and get ugly goals,� Stastny said. �We know what kind of atmosphere it is here. It�s always tough to play in. That�s what makes it fun. I like playing in this building. I like playing these guys.�
With Flames defenseman Mark Giordano in the penalty box for tripping, Stastny scored on an unassisted wraparound with 2 minutes, 40 seconds left in regulation.
Stastny added his second of the game 89 seconds later, before P.A. Parenteau scored into an empty net.
�I think Paul can hopefully relax a little bit now and just play his game,� Colorado coach Joe Sacco said. �It was just a matter of time before Paul got going. It�s big for our team.
�We need Paul going offensively for our team.�
John Mitchell and Parenteau each added two goals and an assist for the Avalanche, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Matt Duchene and Jamie McGinn both chipped in with a pair of assists.
�Credit to the guys, they stuck with it for 60 minutes (Thursday night),� Sacco said. �We had played last night (a 3-0 loss in Vancouver to the Canucks). I thought we found some good energy there in the third period, which was nice to see. It�s a big win for us.�
In his first start of the season for the Avalanche, Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 25 of 28 shots to pick up the win.
�It felt good,� Giguere said. �It�s been a long time since I played. All I wanted was to play a simple game, try to give the team a chance. Fortunately at the end, we found a way to get a big (penalty) kill and get some big goals. I thought we had a pretty strong game as a team.�
Jiri Hudler had two goals and an assist in a losing cause for the Flames, who hadn�t played since Saturday�s 4-3 home win over Edmonton. Alex Tanguay had the other goal for the Flames, while Matt Stajan added two assists.
�Definitely a lost opportunity for us,� Stajan said. �That�s unacceptable on our behalf. That�s a chance where we can jump on a team that�s struggling, that�s played a lot of hockey.
�We�ve got to take a look in the mirror (Thursday night) � all of us � and make sure we learn to bear down in these games because these are the points that matter at the end of the year.�
Calgary captain Jarome Iginla agreed with Stajan�s assessment.
�We know we blew one (Thursday night), and it�s not going to sit well with us, and it shouldn�t,� Iginla said. �We�ve got to get right back at it and start climbing because now we�re going to start playing every second day. We�ve got to finish this homestand off properly and build it in the right direction again.�
Miikka Kiprusoff made 16 saves for Calgary to take the loss.
Hudler opened the scoring at 7:23 of the first period with his first of the season and first as a member of the Flames. Hudler set up the initial scoring chance when he feathered a pass into the slot that Stajan one-timed on net. Hudler pounced on the rebound and swatted the puck past Giguere.
Tim Jackman nearly put the Flames up by a pair during a hard-working shift later in the first period. After being denied by Giguere on his first attempt, Jackman then tipped a shot off the post that trickled wide.
With just 47 seconds left in the first period, Mitchell intercepted a clearing attempt by Chris Butler before skating toward the slot and snapping a shot past Kiprusoff to tie the game.
The Flames then went up 2-1 early in the second period when Hudler finished off a nice three-way passing play with Stajan and Roman Cervenka. For Cervenka, it was his first NHL point after signing a free-agent deal with the Flames in the offseason.
After Parenteau backhanded a shot through Kiprusoff�s legs, Mitchell put the Avs up 3-2 when he converted a feed from Chuck Kobasew at 16:58 for his second of the game.
But with just 18 seconds left in the period, Tanguay wired a touch pass from Hudler past Giguere to tie it at 3 heading to the third.

Jesse Jackson cuts short Japan trip, heads to Austin
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader turned presidential candidate, has cut short a trip to Japan so he can arrive at the Civil Rights Summit in Austin late Wednesday, according to a spokeswoman.
"Will be landing from Japan and going straight to Austin," Alanna Joi Ford, Jackson's personal assistant, said in a text message.
On Tuesday, Jackson placed international long-distance calls to two Dallas Morning News reporters who wrote about summit planners' hopes for a reassessment of former President Lyndon B. Johnson in this Sunday story.
Jackson said civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. and Johnson toppled Jim Crow and segregation.
"It took the two of them to make the cookie crumble," he said.
Jackson led a 13-member trade mission to Japan that is trying to plug minority-owned businesses in the U.S. into the vast manufacturing and marketing operations of Nissan, Toyota and Honda, Ford said.
It's not clear that he appreciated the magnitude of the event at the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum in Austin. Here's my colleague Christy Hoppe's account of her chat with Jackson.

Perhaps one of the more disturbing developments in American political life is the unbalanced discussion of foreign policy.
Both parties scramble to see which will be more hawkish; President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney regularly compete to see whether they can out-tough the other.
Romney, as usual, gets the fast track in that direction, especially when he appears to advocate giving a blank check to Israel.
But his zealousness is only a matter of degree; Obama respects shibboleths about America's ally in the Middle East. Instead of questioning whether America can any longer afford to be the world's policeman, both Obama and Romney revel at the prospect.
Indeed, given the problem of Libya, it's a wonder that Obama even wants to hear the name. Hillary Clinton's project has been the only blemish during the fall political campaign.
However, it has made little difference, because Romney persists in pushing a harder line.
George W. Bush's war in Iraq and the conflict in Afghanistan soured Americans on unilateral intervention.
Given that voters have witnessed conflicts galore since the first Gulf War in 1991, to bloody events in Somalia, to Iraq in 2003, a certain uneasiness set in. So voters tend to associate these conflicts, rightly or wrongly, with Republicans. Thus, Romney's more hawkish approach tends to avail nothing.
In 1964, Barry Goldwater's strident positions obscured Lyndon Johnson's steady escalation of the war in South Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin incident and the attack on Bien Hoa all were obscured by the GOP presidential candidate's bombastic suggestion of using low-yield atomic devices. Essentially, it got Johnson off the hook.
Indeed, LBJ declared in Pittsburgh in September 1964, "that boys should not be doing what Asian boys should be doing for themselves." By 1965, he backtracked in spectacular fashion, setting in motion a process that sent 500,000 Americans to Vietnam.
For more than two generations, Republicans have abandoned their cautious heritage in favor of a sharper-edged interventionism.
In the late 1940s, "Mr. Republican" Robert Taft of Ohio denounced containment as "globaloney." As late as 1976, vice presidential nominee Robert Dole chided Walter Mondale about "Democrat" wars. In 1964, Goldwater found himself murmuring about the futility of limited war, echoing Gen. MacArthur's line, "Why not victory?" Where Goldwater positioned himself, there was no outflanking Johnson.
Given the way Goldwater had gone so far to the right, he could not punch Johnson, even when China exploded its first nuclear device in October 1964. Coupled with the overthrow of Nikita Khrushchev as general secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR, it might have benefited a more moderate Republican. After all, the collapse of the Nationalist Chinese Army in 1949 to Mao's Zedong's legions and the explosion of USSR's first atomic bomb in September rocked Harry Truman's administration.
By 1964, given voters' concern over Goldwater's alleged extremism, neither of these issues worked, and so will it be for Romney on Libya.
Ron Paul, if he never contributes another thing to American politics, did offer a meaningful critique of American foreign policy.
His line concerned more proportion than purpose. No doubt he desires that the United States stand for its friends, but he did question the cost.
Paul returned to Taft's views, and the Republican Party would be wise to follow his counsel.

text: Féchy, Yvorne, Dézaley: just some of the evocative names of the region's crisp white wines. They are made from the Chasselas grapes that have thrived for more than 800 years on the sunny slopes above Lake Geneva, in the Vully region, around Aigle, and in the region of Yverdon-les- Bains. Chasselas wines make an excellent aperitif, go well with fish, and are the classic accompaniment to fondues. Alongside the red Pinot noir, the white Chasselas is the most extensively cultivated grape variety in Switzerland, as well as one of the most popular.

Geography is the key to the economic outlook in the Southern Tier, both in manufacturing and tourism.
When it snows, count on it to snow in the hills of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, attracting thousands to ski resorts like Peek 'N Peak in Clymer and Holiday Valley in Ellicottville.
When it's hot, there are lakes, streams, parks and campgrounds.
The area is close to eastern and midwest markets, with easy access to the north and Canada. That location is just as important for an industrial site like the Ripley Interstate in Chautauqua County off the Thruway, shovel-ready and almost equidistant from New York City and Chicago.
Advanced manufacturing and food processing are major employers in Chautauqua County, with about 19 percent of area residents working in advanced manufacturing, according to Bill Daly, administrative director and chief executive officer of the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency. Cummins Engine outside Jamestown, for example, has 1,700 employees.
SKF Aeroengine, which makes bearings for jets, is another big employer with more than 500 highly-trained machinists, and Truck-Lite, a major producer of lighting, switches and safety accessories for heavy duty trucks, is heaquartered in Falconer.
In Cattaraugus County, Dresser Rand, with its turbines and compressors, and Alcas, with cutlery, remain strong and key parts of the local economy.
Diversification of the economy helps to blunt the blow of the closing of Petri Baking Products in Silver Creek and Carriage House Co.'s Dunkirk factory. The decision announced earlier this month by Ralcorp Holdings to close the two plants eliminated 375 jobs. Ralcorp will continue to operate Carriage House's plant in Fredonia.
In Cattaraugus County, Dal-Tile Corp. announced the closing of its mosaic tile manufacturing facility in Olean and the layoff of 174 workers last fall.
Robust agribusiness has helped tourism. Chautauqua County is proud of its connection to Welch Foods Inc. through its concord grape crop, and vineyards in the lake country have spawned a substantial wine trail for visitors. A "Grape Discovery Center" for the Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association is to open soon in Westfield, to attract motorists on the Thruway.
"Tourism is really big in this county," Daly said.
The county has 42 miles of Lake Erie shoreline, as well as Chautauqua Lake with Chautauqua Institution. The institution is open year-round, and its nine-week education season in the summer brings in more than 140,000 visitors.
"This is a huge fishing and hunting community with 400 miles of snowmobile trails," Daly said.
Tourism and recreation are strong in neighboring Cattaraugus County as well, with significant investment in the past couple years.
"Holiday Valley and Holimont certainly continue to be major economic drivers and players," said Corey R. Wiktor, executive director of the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency.
Holiday Valley has been rated in the top six ski resorts in the northeast, and Holimont is the largest private ski resort in North America, he said.
Holiday Valley opened a new, $13 million lodge this season, and has installed more computerized snow-making systems. Those improvements strengthen the skiing base, but the resort is a strong four-season attraction, with its golf course, and Sky High Adventure Park which opened in 2011.
Knowing and serving customers help any business succeed. When the resort is designing its products, it seriously considers what the market will bear, said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley's marketing director.
"People still have disposable income, but they're very particular about how they want to spend it," she said. "We are constantly investing in the resort, and growing the resort. They come here and they know they're going to get good value."
The ski resort also depends on the Village of Ellicottville to provide unique shopping and dining for resort-goers, and the village depends on Holiday Valley to attract customers.
"It's pretty unique for a resort our size. It's a great relationship," Eshbaugh said.
The IDA provided some incentives for the improvements at the ski resort.
"They have been an absolute champion with defining four seasons and complementing with other resorts and restaurants," Wiktor said.
One of the largest employers in Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier remains the Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca.
"The good part is the area chambers of commerce have worked pretty soundly with Seneca Nation … to promote each other's resources and venues," Wiktor said.
The IDA continues to work on the first phase of the $25 million Bonaventure Square lifestyle destination facility across from St. Bonaventure University with a hotel, bar/restaurant, bowling alley, retail and student apartments.

Millennials Are Better Savers Than Boomers, Gen-X
Here's some good news for the Council for Economic Education, a group that helps grade-school instructors teach economics: Millennials know how to save.
While recent national surveys show U.S. students haven't stepped up their knowledge of economics since the 2007 financial crisis, the "Millennial" generation at least had a first-hand view of the perils of leverage. And that appears to have led Millennials — those born roughly between the early 1980s and early 2000s — to lean more toward saving than spending.
"Millennials are better savers" than Gen-Xers or baby boomers, said Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments. That's because "they saw their parents take such financial setbacks during the crisis and the subsequent recession."
Ms. Hobson, speaking Wednesday at a panel hosted by the Council, said the cautionary tale of the downturn — as well as longer lives and careers — underscore the need for economic and financial literacy among young people.
Millennials are "the second-most conservative group of investors, right behind their grandparents," said panelist Sallie Krawcheck, former president of global wealth and investment management for Bank of America Corp. The fact that young workers today likely will be retiring at an older age than their parents and grandparents means "we need a structural rethink" of how to save for that retirement, Ms. Krawcheck said.
That's where the Council can play a role, with its goal of changing "the landscape of economic literacy across the U.S.," said its chief executive, Nan Morrison. The group just hosted the annual National Economics Challenge (Minnesota's Little Falls Community High School claimed top honors — for the second consecutive year — in the "David Ricardo" division) and recently capped a month of outreach, marking April as Financial Literacy Month.
At Wednesday's discussion, Ms. Krawcheck was asked about her plans for 85 Broads, the women's networking group she agreed to acquire last week. The network, begun as a Goldman Sachs alumnae group, has grown to a global membership of 30,000. (Its name comes from Goldman Sachs' former address: 85 Broad Street, in New York.) "We're going to engage the network," Ms. Krawcheck said. The effort "is the most energizing thing I have done in years. Stay tuned."

Led by the high-decibel, post-blues guitar stylings of founder Gordie Johnson, Canada's Big Sugar summons a mighty wall of sound in service of hook-heavy hard blues and eminently grooving reggae. Since its formation in the early '90s, the band has played many a memorable show for its loyal fans in the Buffalo area. I can still recall an aural onslaught of a gig at the old Icon on Ellicott Street in 1994. In fact, I believe my ears are still ringing from the band's visceral, emotional and incredibly loud set that night!
Big Sugar took a hiatus beginning in 2004, but since 2010, has been back at it with a vengeance. The release last year of "Revolution Per Minute" made the band a gold-selling concern in Canada once more, and touring has returned the group to its previous in-concert glory.
At 8 tonight, Big Sugar, with guest reggae legend Willi Williams, takes over the Rapids Theatre (1711 Main St., Niagara Falls). Tickets are $30 (box office). Visit www.rapidstheatre.com.

We would like to congratulate and THANK E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott, an IMF board member, for being March's Advocate of the Month and a driving force in building a strong advocacy presence for the IMF.
Mike has also been active member of the IMF Action Network since its formation in summer 2009 and has sent a total of 20 messages to his federal representatives on important issues facing the myeloma community.
Mike has played an active role in the IMF advocacy program since its inception, helping to forge relationships with relevant advocacy coalitions in Washington, DC. Through these coalitions, the IMF now plays an integral role in addressing public policy issues in cancer and rare disorders. A "rare disorder" is defined in the USA as any disorder affecting less than 200,000 living people at any one point in time. Multiple myeloma is still one of the 7,000 rare disorders recognized in the USA.
Thanks to Mike's involvement, the foundation is now a member of several prestigious coalitions in Washington including the Cancer Leadership Council, One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC), the Deadly Cancer Coalition, the Hematologic Cancers Group, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD).
With the IMF's increased visibility as a cancer advocacy organization, the IMF's Board of Directors recently formed an Advocacy Advisory Committee (AAC) to ensure that all IMF advocacy activities are appropriately reported and that policies and procedures are in place to guarantee full transparency of our program. Mike is the initial Chairman of this committee.
"It is important that the IMF conducts its advocacy activities in full compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, and we believe we have been doing this," Mike told me over the phone. "However, the IMF Board needs to ensure appropriate oversight of all IMF initiatives. Furthermore, given the differences in opinion that exist across the US today about federal and state investment in health care, it is critical for the Board of the IMF to be comfortable that our advocacy activities are fundamentally focused on initiatives that are in the very best interests of myeloma patients and the myeloma community as a whole. The IMF does not favor any specific set of political solutions to the broader healthcare challenges we face in the USA."
Mike was elected to the Board of Directors of the IMF in 1994. He is a principal of Vox Medica, Inc. (a Philadelphia-based health-care communications group), a member of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), and an associate member of the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Earlier this year he was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Organization of Rare Disorders (NORD).
Please join Mike and the other 1300 members of the IMF Action Network. Become an advocate TODAY and start making a difference for myeloma patients and other cancer patients all across the country.

SALEM - A $500 reward is being offered for information leading to the conviction of the person(s) who broke into the Downtown Gems & Jewels store on Oct. 8.
The front door was broken in with a sledge hammer and the display cases were smashed, according to a store spokesman who said about $27,000 in merchandise was stolen.
Salem Detective Dave Talbert released a photo of a suspect that was taken on a security camera at a Canton Save-A-Lot food store.

"Evidence at the crime scene led us to this video," Talbert said Monday. "We're fairly certain this person is responsible for the breaking and entering."
The store spokesman said, "It could be someone who was passing through or someone who had been inside the store, casing it."
The man reportedly was driving an early 2000-model year tan Buick.
Downtown Gems & Jewels is licensed to sell and purchase precious metals and the spokesman said the break-in has hurt business because some people think the store closed permanently.
"Business is down at least 60 percent," the spokesman said, adding the store has been located at 11036B E. State St. (directly across from the Circle K store) for three years. "We are open," the spokesman said.
Anyone who recognizes the person in the photo or with information can call city police, 337-7811.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain steel reinforcing bars which prior to surface preparation are prefabricated and then coated with a protective fusion-bonded epoxy coating by electrostatic spray or other suitable method.
1.2 Prefabricated steel reinforcing bars coated with fusion-bonded epoxy formulations in accordance with this specification are not intended to be bent or rebent.
Note 1--Experience has shown epoxy-coated prefabricated steel reinforcing bars have limited capability to be successfully field bent or rebent (see 9.3.1). If the construction project requires epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars that must be able to sustain field bending or rebending, the use of coated bars conforming to Specification A775/A775M should be considered.
1.3 Organic coatings other than epoxy may be used provided they meet the requirements of this specification.
1.4 Requirements for epoxy coatings are contained in Annex A1.
1.5 Guidelines for application process and product test procedures of epoxy coatings for steel reinforcing bars are presented in Appendix X1.
1.6 Guidelines for construction practices at the job-site for coated steel reinforcing bars are presented in Appendix X2.
1.7 This specification is applicable for orders in either SI (metric) units (as Specification A934M) or inch-pound units [as Specification A934].
1.8 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in the two systems are not exact equivalents: therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.
1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

More than $665.7 million in life insurance benefits has been paid to beneficiaries nationwide who were unaware they were entitled to it, after state regulators launched an investigation in July 2011 that found life insurers failed to follow through with paying claims unless consumers contacted them first.
The investigation by the state Department of Financial Services found that insurers did not regularly seek out beneficiaries to pay death benefits but rather waited until a claim was submitted. Many people, however, don't realize they are named as a beneficiary on a relative's policy, so they don't file a claim and never get paid.
The probe also found that insurers checked the Social Security Administration's "death master file" so they would know when to stop making annuity payments if a customer died. But they didn't use the same list to know when to start making insurance payments. So regulators directed the companies to start searching that list and cross-checking it against their customer list of active and terminated policies.
"Most of these lost policies belonged to middle-class and working people whose family members will clearly benefit from the payment of funds intended for them," said Benjamin M. Lawsky, the state's superintendent of financial services.
Regulators then adopted an emergency regulation that required insurers to conduct searches at least quarterly, and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation in December that made such regular searches of records permanent.
The law also requires insurers to search for multiple policies a customer may have purchased and notify the parent company, subsidiaries and affiliates of a death so those entities can find policies where no claims have been filed. And they have to respond to consumer requests, through the state's new "Lost Policy Finder," to find lost or unclaimed policies.
"It is only fair for families and individuals who lost loved ones to receive the life insurance benefits to which they are entitled," Cuomo said. "Life insurers are now responsible for proactively identifying policyholder deaths and are making good-faith efforts to find people so hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed benefits can be paid."
In all, the investigation and new rules have resulted in insurers making 89,171 payments, including 18,597 payments for $206.2 million to New Yorkers.

Their uniqueness resides in their variety: Typically Swiss Hotels are to be found all over the country and no two are alike. Yet all are typically Swiss. And as authentic as the regions in which they are based
As breathtaking as the panoramic views from the Berggasthaus Aescher in the Appenzellerland, as magical as the atmosphere at the Castle Château d'Ouchy, a stone's throw away from Lake Geneva, as unique as the atmosphere in the historic Hotel Wilden Mann in the heart of Old Lucerne. Those who opt for a Typically Swiss Hotel should feel similarly unique and one of a kind. Like Switzerland itself. Our hotels are always situated in prime locations. And are just as varied in character as the country itself.

Following a breast cancer diagnosis in 2010, Fonda, now 75, reassessed her outlook on life, and came to realize she didn't feel any different than she did before the scare.
"[It] was a good test, because I always said I'm not afraid of dying," the double Oscar winner Klute, Coming Home says on Oprah's Next Chapter airing Sunday at 9 p.m. on OWN. "And I wasn't. I mean, I felt, god, I've just joined a family of millions of women who have gone through this. And how interesting. What a journey this is going to be."
Adds Fonda, "[I thought], you know, maybe I'll make it and maybe I won't. I didn't get scared. I hope I don't die. But I'm not scared of dying."
Following a routine checkup, a small tumor was discovered in Fonda's breast. Found to be non-invasive, the cancer was successfully removed with a procedure.
"She's 100-percent cancer-free," her rep said at the time. "She's completely fine and it's business as usual for her."

In her first public appearance since becoming Mrs. Brandon Blackstock two weeks ago, Kelly Clarkson radiated cheer and joy.
Then again, she was taping a Christmas TV special.
The former American Idol winner took the stage at the Las Vegas Venetian Wednesday night, belting out songs from her Wrapped in Red album, along with a few of her greatest hits.
At one point Clarkson spoke about how attractive an audience member was. When some shouted out that she was a newly married woman, the singer replied good-naturally, "I will hit on someone and make him jealous … I'm just kidding, I love my man."
Her special, which airs Dec. 11 on NBC, features country stars Blake Shelton, Trisha Yearwood and Reba McEntire.
"I've been trying to make a Christmas album since I was a kid," she told the crowd.
Wearing no shoes for the second half of her show – the greatest hits' portion – Clarkson sang a number of songs, and at one point did the "lawnmower" dance move with a fan.
"We look good. That's how I got my man," she joked.

Its up to the individual psychiatrist to determine if you have freedom or not. What if they believe you are racist and that it is a mental disease? Or what if they are a muslim and declare you addicted to substances for any admission of drinking?
