SBA Customer Service Plan
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) acts as a guarantor of small business loans and provides management and technical assistance and contracting opportunities to small businesses. The Agency also provides disaster assistance through direct loans in communities that have undergone catastrophes with the intention of rebuilding the devastated economy and community simultaneously.
Moreover, as the only federal government agency with "small business" in its name and our credibility with entrepreneurs and small businesses throughout the country, SBA is often turned to for advice and guidance beyond our specific program areas. Recognition of this reality and adapting our service offerings as an agency has been an essential component of improving customer service across our agency.
During the last fiscal year SBA backed loans went to over 60,000 small businesses. Tens of thousands of small businesses received federal government contracts. And over 1 million small businesses were counseled by our resource partners. Each of those businesses was directly impacted by an SBA program – but they are far from the extent of our reach into the community of entrepreneurs across America.
Over the last 12 months approximately 9 million individuals have visited our agency web site.
In other words, every two and a half days more people visit www.SBA.gov than get an SBA backed loan in an entire year!
As SBA's senior leadership team has considered our reach and impact on small businesses, our priority has always been on improving customer service. For example, turnaround times between receipt of an application and decision on approval for direct loans made by our Office of Disaster Assistance consistently averages lower than the 14-18 day goal established in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
That commitment to more quickly and efficiently delivering our programs to small businesses will continue across the agency. When considering potential impact on signature customer service initiatives – it is clear from the sheer volume of traffic to our web site that the greatest opportunities for improving customer service exist online.
Therefore, SBA will focus primarily on a series of improvements to online tools and services in accordance with the principles and objectives of the Customer Service initiative. Additional customer service enhancements are informed by ongoing input from a wide range of stakeholder groups, including small business owners and entrepreneurs of all stages of the business life cycle.

Bodies in barrels
Police turn to technology in latest attempt to solve grisly murdersBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 14. 2013 1:49PM
ALLENSTOWN -- The youngest of three girls had a large gap in her front teeth and fine, wavy blonde hair. Another had a noticeable overbite and wavy brown hair. The eldest was a dark blonde with double piercings in both ears — unusual for a 5- to 10-year old girl in 1985.
Despite this detail and more than a quarter-century later, no one knows who the girls and young woman found murdered and stuffed into barrels in the woods near Bear Brook Park in Allenstown are. Until they have names, their killer remains free, investigators and forensic experts say.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Forensic Imaging Unit developed the composites using sophisticated 3-D cranial face reconstruction. The center, based in Alexandria, Va.,is one of just three places that uses this technique.
The release of the images Thursday sparked widespread media interest that experts hope will generate the public interest needed to finally get a break in the case.
"It's highly unlikely you're going to find out who killed them if you don't know who they are," said Kim Fallon, chief forensic investigator at the New Hampshire Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Fallon has been working on the case since 2005.
"Maybe somebody will recognize them or maybe somebody will hear the story and remember a woman and children who went missing," she added. "The oldest girl was probably in school and suddenly didn't show up one day. Maybe a teacher or a classmate will remember that."
Mitochondrial DNA testing revealed the woman is related to the eldest and youngest child — possibly a mother, sister or aunt. The middle child does not share this match, but could be related paternally, Fallon said. State officials hope nuclear DNA test results will reveal precise relationships.
On Nov. 10, 1985, a hunter found the decomposed bodies of the woman — who was 22 to 33 years old — and the oldest girl inside a plastic bag next to an overturned 55-gallon metal drum. They had been beaten to death. Investigators believe they were killed at least a year and possibly several years before the bodies were found, Fallon said.
In 2000, a state trooper revisited the case and discovered a second, 55-gallon drum about 100 yards from where the first was found. The two younger girls' bodies were inside. They are believed to have been murdered during the same time frame. Their causes of death are undetermined.

While the Bruins are awaiting the return of Nathan Horton from his undisclosed injury after missing five games to conclude the regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping to have center Tyler Bozak back after he missed the last two games of the season with an undisclosed injury.
If the Leafs have to play any part of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Bruins without Bozak, they will really miss him.
The center practiced briefly today in Toronto. And according to the Toronto Sun, Leafs general manager Dave Nonis said his "expectation" is that Bozak will play in Game 1 Wednesday.
Bozak put up 12-16-28 totals in 46 games with a minus-1 rating. But the Leafs rely on Bozak for more than just points as their No. 1 center. The Leafs ranked second in penalty kill percentage during the regular season and Bozak was fourth among Leafs forwards in 1:38 of ice time shorthanded. He was also the Leafs' leader in overall time on ice among forwards at 20:18 per game.
But more than anything, the Leafs need Bozak for faceoffs. As a team Toronto ranked 15th at 50 percent, and Bozak won 52.6 of his draws. He also took a whopping 1,063 faceoffs in those 46 games. Without Bozak, the Leafs will have a tough time against the Bruins, who were the best faceoff team in the league, led by Patrice Bergeron at 62.1 percent (best in the NHL).
So with the series two days away from opening, both the Bruins and Leafs are in need of a key forward to get healthy.

Allen Lessels' College Hockey: BC weekend for UNH
By ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
DURHAM -- The Boston College men's hockey team has a pretty good run going against New Hampshire.
Then again, the Eagles, the defending NCAA champions and titlists three times in the last five seasons, have put together impressive runs against most everybody in college hockey.
UNH takes its latest shot and first of the season against Boston College in a home-and-home series starting tonight at Conte Forum at 7 (NESN). The two teams play again on Saturday night at the Whittemore Center.
Boston College swept three regular-season games against the Wildcats last year.
"We definitely don't like losing, said UNH sophomore defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk. "That kind of sticks out in our mind that they swept us last year and we didn't take any points from them. We definitely want to come in and make a statement that we're right back up there and deserve to be at the top."
The Wildcats made statements throughout the first half of the season and bounced back from a rough start of a year ago.
They are 13-3-2 overall and ranked No. 4 in the country in this week's USCHO poll and go up against BC, No. 3 and 12-3-2. It's the first time UNH and its opponent have both been ranked in the top five since No. 5 UNH took on No. 4 Minnesota in November of 2008.
UNH sits second to BC in the Hockey East standings. BC is 9-2-1 for 19 points and UNH is 8-2-1 for 17. Boston University, which plays at Merrimack tonight, is another point back in third.
"There's a long way to go," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "But one of our first goals is to win the regular season championship and going head to head with them, this will be an important series for that."
The Wildcats lost their first game against BC, 5-1, last year and then gave the Eagles a couple of tough games in late January. But they could not pull out a point and lost twice, 5-4 at BC, and 3-2 in overtime at UNH the next night.
"We had them twice last year and gave it up," Umile said. "Hopefully we can do a better job of finishing this year."
The Wildcats will be try to take the same approach that led to an eight-game unbeaten streak in the first half and a quick stay at No. 1 in the country in early December.
"We need to keep it simple," van Riemsdyk said. "Move the puck and get it deep and get on them hard. When we try to do too much is when we get in trouble. When we were at our best and were really rolling early in the year, we were keeping it simple, playing smart, backchecking hard and picking up and taking away other teams' opportunities."
BC's streak of success against UNH goes beyond last year, too.
The Eagles have won the last five games in the series and are 8-1-2 against the Wildcats dating back to mid-February in 2009.
More dramatically, BC is undefeated in its last seven games at the Whittemore Center at 5-0-2.
UNH last beat BC at home, 3-2, on Feb. 20, 2009.
THE DARTMOUTH men's hockey team, flying high with a 4-1 win over then-No. 2 New Hampshire in the first round of its Ledyard National Bank Classic on Dec. 30, has not won a game since.
The Big Green lost to Massachusetts, 3-2, in the tournament championship game and then lost at Quinnipiac, 3-2 in overtime, and Princeton, 2-1, in games against ECAC leaders last weekend.
Dartmouth will try to stop its skid with a single game against Harvard on Saturday night at home at 7:30.
The Big Green are ranked No. 12 at 8-5-2. They are 4-3-1 in the ECAC but are 0-3-1 in their last four league games.
Harvard, 5-7-1 overall and 3-5-0 in the ECAC, beat BU, 6-5 in overtime, on Wednesday night.
The Dartmouth women, 9-5-2 overall after a 4-2 win over Vermont on Wednesday, are at home for the weekend. They Big Green, 4-4-1 in the ECAC, play Quinnipiac, 12-7-2 and 8-3-1, tonight at 7 and Princeton, 6-10-2 and 2-8-2, Saturday at 4.
THE ST. ANSELM MEN, 7-2-2 overall and 5-0-1 in their last six games, play at the University of New England in Biddeford tonight and at Southern Maine on Saturday at 4. UNE is 3-9-0.
Mike Richard, a senior from Derry, leads the Hawks with nine goals and seven assist for 16 points.
The St. Anselm women fell to 9-3-2 with a 4-3 loss to Bowdoin on Tuesday and face UMass-Boston at home on Saturday at 3.
Junior Courtney Winters leads the Hawks at 9-10-19.
THE PLYMOUTH STATE MEN, 9-4-0 overall going into a home game against Westfield State on Thursday night, play Framingham State at home on Saturday night at 6.
Senior forward Alex Cottle leads the Panthers with four goals and 13 assists for 17 points and sophomore Mike Freitag is tops in goals at 7-9-16.

Kopechne was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania,[1] and was the daughter and only child of Joseph and Gwen Kopechne.[1] Her father worked as a insurance salesman. Kopechne was of Polish-American heritage.[2] Her family moved to Berkeley Heights, New Jersey when Kopechne was an infant.[1][3] She attended parochial schools growing up.[4] After graduating with a degree in business administration from Caldwell College for Womenin 1962,[1][5] Kopechne moved to Montgomery, Alabama, to teach for a year at the Mission of St. Jude,[1] an activity that was part of the Civil Rights Movement.[6] By 1963, Kopechne relocated to Washington, D.C., to work as secretary for Florida Senator George Smathers.[1] She joined New YorkSenator Robert F. Kennedy's secretarial staff following his election in November 1964.[1] For that office she worked as a secretary to the senator's speechwriters and as a legal secretary to one of his legal advisers.[1] Kopechne was a loyal worker. Once, during March 1967, she stayed up all night at Kennedy's Hickory Hill home to type a major speech against the Vietnam War, while the senator and his aides such as Ted Sorenson made last-minute changes to it.[4][7][8]
During the 1968 U.S. presidential election, Kopechne helped with the wording of Kennedy's speech of March 1968 announcing his presidential candidacy.[4] During his campaign, she worked as one of the "Boiler Room Girls". This was an affectionate nickname given to six young women whose office area was in a hot, loud, windowless location in Kennedy's Washington campaign headquarters.[2][4][7][9] They were vital in tracking and compiling data and intelligence on how Democratic delegates from various states were intending to vote; Kopechne's responsibilities includedPennsylvania.[7][9] Kopechne and the other staffers were knowledgeable politically,[9] and were chosen for their ability to work skillfully for long, hectic hours on sensitive matters.[2] They talked daily with field managers and also helped distribute policy statements to strategic newspapers.[9]
Kopechne was devastated emotionally by the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. After working briefly for the Kennedy proxy campaign of George McGovern, she stated she could not return to work on Capitol Hill, saying "I just feel Bobby's presence everywhere. I can't go back because it will never be the same again."[2][7] But as her father later said, "Politics was her life,"[7] and in December 1968 she used her experience to gain a job with Matt Reese Associates, a Washington, D.C., firm that helped establish campaign headquarters and field offices for politicians and was one of the first political consulting companies. By mid-1969 she had completed work for a mayoral campaign in Jersey City, New Jersey.[2] She was on her way to a successful professional career.[11] Kopechne lived in the Washington neighborhood of Georgetown with three other women.[1] She was a fan of theBoston Red Sox and of fellow Polish-American Carl Yastrzemski.[2] She was a devout Roman Catholic with a demure, serious, "convent school" demeanor, rarely drank much, and had no reputation for extramarital activities with men.
On July 18, 1969, Kopechne attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island, off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The celebration was in honor of the dedicated work of the Boiler Room Girls, and was the fourth such reunion of the Robert F. Kennedy campaign workers.[12] Kopechne reportedly left the party at 11:15 p.m. with Robert's brother Ted, after he — according to his own account — offered to drive her to catch the last ferry back to Edgartown, where she was staying.[7] She did not tell her close friends at the party that she was leaving, and she left her purse and keys behind.[7] Kennedy drove the 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 off a narrow, unlit bridge, which was without guardrails and was not on the route to Edgartown.[7] The Oldsmobile landed in Poucha Pond and overturned in the water; Kennedy extricated himself from the vehicle and survived, but Kopechne did not.[7]
Kennedy failed to report the incident to the authorities until the car and Kopechne's body were discovered the next morning.[7] Kopechne's parents said that they learned of their daughter's death from Kennedy himself,[1] before he informed authorities of his involvement.[5] However, they learned Kennedy had been the driver from wire press releases some time later.[5] A private funeral for Kopechne was held on July 22, 1969, at St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, attended by Kennedy.[13] She is buried in the parish cemetery on the side of Larksville Mountain.
A week after the incident, Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury. He received a two-month suspended sentence.[7] On a national television broadcast that night, Kennedy said that he had not been driving "under the influence of liquor" nor had he ever had a "private relationship" with Kopechne.[14] The Chappaquiddick incident and Kopechne's death became the topic of at least 15 books, as well as a fictionalized treatment by Joyce Carol Oates. Questions remained about Kennedy's timeline of events that night, specifically his actions following the incident.[15] The quality of the investigation has been scrutinized, particularly whether official deference was given to a powerful and influential politician, and his family.[15] The events surrounding Kopechne's death damaged Kennedy's reputation and are regarded as a major reason that he was never able to mount a successful campaign for President of the United States.[16]Kennedy expressed remorse over his role in her death, in his posthumously-published memoir, True Compass

An Ocala man severely burned late last week when his truck caught fire after crashing into a guard rail on Interstate 75 has had the first of what may be several surgeries and is improving, according to his wife.
An Ocala man severely burned late last week when his truck caught fire after crashing into a guard rail on Interstate 75 has had the first of what may be several surgeries and is improving, according to his wife.
Lydia Mahabirsingh said her husband, Keith, had 5� hours of surgery for his first skin graft for his back and legs on Wednesday.
Since the accident on June 20, doctors have been cleaning soot from his lungs twice a day. For the time being, Mahabirsingh is on a ventilator to help with breathing.
Slowly recovering, Mahabirsingh is displaying the same determination and fight he showed those who rescued him.
"His body is rising to the challenge. All of his organs are working just fine, and he's fighting," Lydia Mahabirsingh said.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the 2006 Peterbilt truck driven by Mahabirsingh was heading south on I-75 a few miles south of State Road 200 when a tire blew out. The truck slammed into the guard rail, overturned on the driver's side and burst into flames.
Motorists stopped, busted out the windows of the truck and pulled Mahabirsingh out. He had burns over approximately 50 percent of his body.
He was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville for treatment.
Delsie Paulson, a representative of Brady Construction of Ocala Inc., said Mahabirsingh was on his way to Oxford Church of God to drop off lime rock when the accident occurred.
Paulson said the company, where Mahabirsingh has worked for about eight years, has received numerous phone calls inquiring about Mahabirsingh's health.
Mahabirsingh's rescuers — Kevin Allis, Ray Johnson, Dale Graham and several others who in the vicinity — did everything they could to free Mahabirsingh from the burning truck.
Allis calls the group "The Miracle Team."
They hurled rocks, boards, fire extinguishers, a metal pole — anything they could grab — onto the truck's front windshield in a desperate attempt at saving him. Mahabirsingh, who the rescuers said never cried out, managed to push himself out and the men dragged him to safety, despite the intense heat coming from the mangled truck.
Other rescuers stopped traffic and cleared a path for Mahabirsingh.
In an email, Judy Servidio, a nurse, detailed her experience. She said Mahabirsingh had to be moved twice to avoid the truck's explosion. She had an emergency bag with her, and her immediate concern was to clear his airway because she had observed inhalation burns.
With his head in her lap, Servidio sought to "gain his trust and attention." She also helped him "calm down and breathe slow, steady breaths to conserve his oxygen supply."
Mahabirsingh went into shock as the paramedics arrived. Servidio told him to remember "he was alive," and "he would be challenged in the coming days."
"This man wanted first to know if anyone else was hurt … selfless, considering he was fighting for his own life," Servidio said.
Lydia Mahabirsingh concedes her husband does have "a long fight ahead of him," but said he's "up to the challenge."

Daniel J. Stapleton, director of the Niagara County Department of Health, reported today the first laboratory-confirmed human case of West Nile virus in Niagara County for 2013. The affected individual, a young adult male, is recovering at home after being hospitalized for illness clinically consistent with West Nile virus infection. The individual resides in Gasport, where it is believed he contracted the virus. To date, Niagara County has reported no West Nile virus-positive mosquito pools, infected birds or positive horses.
West Nile is transmitted to humans by the bites of infected mosquitos. The virus can cause serious illness and, in some cases, death. It is estimated that 20 percent of those who become infected will develop clinically noticeable signs and symptoms of West Nile virus disease. Mild signs and symptoms include fever, headache and body aches, and occasionally, skin rash and swollen lymph glands.
"Most people infected with West Nile virus will experience mild or no symptoms," Stapleton said, "But some can develop severe symptoms, including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis."
The symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent. Stapleton urges individuals who are most at risk, especially those ages 50 and up, and those with compromised immune systems, to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
"Residents who may have been bitten by mosquitoes and experience West Nile virus signs and symptoms should visit their health care providers to be medically evaluated," he advised.
"Individuals in the communities we serve need to be aware they can take action to help reduce the mosquito population where they live," Stapleton said. "This is the first critical step in reducing the risk of West Nile virus. I am asking residents to reduce the mosquito population around their homes now, by eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes breed."
The following activities can help with this effort:
"The second important step in reducing risk of West Nile virus infections in our communities is to avoid mosquito bites," Stapleton said.
To prevent mosquitos from biting:
"Mosquitoes will continue to be a problem until the weather changes with the first hard frost," Stapleton said. "Until then, the Health Department and the communities we serve can work together. With a common sense approach to West Nile virus risk reduction, we can assure a safe and healthy environment by taking simple steps to prevent mosquitos from breeding and biting."
For additional information about West Nile virus, click on the following links:
To report mosquito problems or stagnant pools of water, call the Niagara County Department of Health Environmental Division at 716-439-7444.
For medical questions or to report West Nile virus cases, call the Niagara County Department of Health Nursing Division at 716-278-1900.

North Dakota Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand has appointed Duane DeKrey as the agency's new deputy director.
DeKrey began his new position Jan. 1. Game and Fish had been without a deputy director since June when Roger Rostvet, who had served in the position since 1998, retired.
"During my search for a deputy, I was looking for an individual who would work with me to address challenges into the future," Steinwand said. "Duane showed that he is willing and has the ability to integrate our current views, as well as provide a different viewpoint that will help move the department forward."
Steinwand added that DeKrey is well-versed in the Game and Fish Department's mission and will be a strong advocate for hunting, angling and other conservation issues.
DeKrey, a native of Pettibone in northern Kidder County, served in the North Dakota Legislature for 20 years and was a member of the House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee. He is an avid deer hunter, a landowner, a graduate of North Dakota State University, and has served more than 30 years in the North Dakota National Guard.
"I've always had an interest and appreciation for wildlife, and I gained great respect for the Game and Fish Department during my years in the legislature," DeKrey said. "Now I look forward to working with Terry, the rest of the staff, and the state's citizens to help find solutions to major issues facing the agency."

Experts can offer their opinions on a variety of issues such as the management of the account and calculation of profits.
Experts can provide necessary information to support claims made by either the claimant or the respondent. The decision to hire an expert depends on a number of factors including the following:
- The type of claim or defense being made
- Cost of the expert as compared to the amount claimed as damages
- The need to explain complex transactions
- The need for expert testimony as compared to background information.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) provides the following rules related to experts:
- Rule 9263 authorizes the Hearing Officer to "exclude all evidence that is irrelevant, immaterial, unduly repetitious, or unduly prejudicial." Expert's testimony may be excluded under this rule.
- Rule 9242(a) authorizes the Hearing Officer to order a party to provide expert's qualification statements, publications, and involvement in other proceedings.
- Rule 9242(b) prohibits a former officer of FINRA from testifying within a year of leaving FINRA.
- Rule 12602 (for customer disputes) and Rule 13602 (for industry disputes) permit expert witnesses to "attend all hearings" "absent persuasive reasons to the contrary."
The arbitration panel determines whether to allow an expert witness to testify. The standards used in litigation provide a helpful guide. Federal courts may allow expert witnesses to testify if (1) the expert's knowledge "help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue"; (2) "the testimony is based on sufficient facts or data"; (3) "the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods"; and (4) the witness "has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case." Federal Rules of Evidence 702, Testimony by Expert Witnesses, 28 U.S.C. §702. State courts may impose different rules. Arbitrators are not bound by either federal or state standards in evaluating the expert.
Once an expert witness is permitted to testify in arbitration, the party that called the expert asks questions to the expert through a direct examination. The opposing party may question the expert through a cross-examination. The arbitrators may also question the expert.

Grand opening
Goffstown Cumberland Farms store opens, helps charity

— It wasn't your typical grand opening at Cumberland Farms on Mast Road Tuesday, as the store and gas station joined forces with nonprofit youth organization Crispin's House for a grand opening fundraiser.
From now until Aug. 27, Cumberland Farms will donate 20 cents from the sale of each coffee, iced coffee and tea, as well as its "Chill Zone" beverages to Crispin's House to support drug, alcohol and suicide-prevention programs.
"We have had a hard time with funding due to large cuts in funding to prevention programs by the state two years ago," said Kristie Garrison, executive director of Crispin's House.
While similar programs have been forced to shut down, Garrison said the dedication of Crispin's House's board of directors has kept it going, in part by finding other funding sources.
Bob Jenness, region manager for Cumberland Farms, said the company is looking to return to the company's roots of family values and traditions.
Previously, customers stopping for gas would come in and buy cigarettes, but Jenness said as tobacco sales decrease, the focus has moved toward providing fresh food, coffee and other beverages.
"We really like the concept of one-stop shopping," said area manager Cindy Gagnon.
Jenness said that while the company often makes large donations to national organizations, supporting smaller, not-for-profits such as Crispin's House is also a priority.
"This is something we can do in our local network," he said.
The minimum donation from Cumberland Farms for Crispin's House will be $1,000 and will increase based on what local customers buy.
"It's really hard to tell what this will bring in, because it depends on what's sold," Garrison said, "but this will definitely help us serve more youth."

Matuidi signed for PSG from Saint-Etienne last summer and has made 39 appearances for the Ligue 1 leader.
And his agent is not the only one who has been delighted with the way the 25-year-old has performed so far for les Parisiens.
"He has exploded this year; he came to Paris for that. He is the best French player right now," Bernes told Le Parisien.
His coach at PSG, Carlo Ancelotti, was also full of praise for his young midfielder, particularly for his impressive performances in the Champions League.
Ancelotti said: "I have no words for Matuidi; He is one of the best places in Europe. Against Valencia he was fantastic but it wasn't just against Valencia, he is like that all the time."
The France boss, Didier Deschamps, has also commented on Matuidi's performances but is worried that he may pick up an injury if he is overused.
"His performance against Valencia does not surprise me. But I am a little worried to see him play ninety minutes every four days. There was a moment when I saw him on the ground and I had some chills."

Death in June, the musical group that has ignited protests worldwide because it uses Nazi imagery, ended up playing in a secret location Thursday night after its show at the historic Old Town Hall in Salem was canceled because of security concerns.
Promoters told only ticket holders, via email, of the hastily arranged new location Thursday. While those who planned to attend the concert remained mum on its location on a Facebook page created for the event, the show's promoter revealed Friday that it was held at the Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester, some 65 miles away.
"The show went off without a hitch," said Thomas Nola, the Salem musician who promoted the event.
"Yes, I was secretly offered the (already sold-out) show this past Monday when they were scrambling to find a location," said Erick Godin, owner of the Lucky Dog. "I've read a lot about them over the past few days and while all this negative attention was given them in all the things I read, the 200 people that showed up were some of the best behaved folks we've ever had at the club.
"Zero incidents, no evidence of any of the controversy listed in the articles. Although the music was not my personal cup of tea, it was played well and all of the fans were so excited to see them. Had I not read anything about them before the show happened, I'd have had absolutely no knowledge they were wrapped in such controversy."
Michael Marotta, a former music editor for the Boston Phoenix and founder of the online music magazine vanyaland.com, attended the concert and said there were mostly older fans dressed in Goth garb. He said Death in June has a small "cult following," and traced the group's use of Nazi imagery to earlier punk musicians such as Johnny Rotten, who used to wear a swastika shirt on stage.
"I just think it's part of the schtick. No one in there was saluting the band with a 'sieg heil' salute or anything like that," Marotta said.
The performance was the culmination of a weeklong debate about the reason for banning the group in Salem. A representative for Gordon College, a Christian university in Wenham that has managed performances at the city-owned Old Town Hall in Salem for five years, said the concert was canceled because of protests and concern that the 197-year-old building might be damaged.
Nola, the promoter, blames city officials, and said Salem didn't want any publicity that might deter fall tourism.
Gordon College spokesman Rick Sweeney said the college decided to cancel the concert after it received e-mails about previous disruptions at Death in June concerts, and also after a poster was found this month near the Salem building threatening to disrupt the event.
Sweeney cited what happened in California when protesters who sought to cancel the concert glued the locks and painted graffiti at the Vex Arts Center, a Los Angeles concert hall where Death in June played Sept. 12.
Salem's Old Town Hall, which also houses the Salem Museum, is the oldest surviving municipal building in the city. It was built in 1816-17.
Old Town Hall is used primarily for private weddings, recitals, and for Gordon College's theatrical production of "Cry Innocent," a play about the Salem Witch Trials, which is performed during the summer and returns for the Halloween season Oct. 5-31.
Sweeney said Gordon did not cancel the concert because of the content of the band's lyrics. Death in June is a two-person neofolk group, led by British guitarist and vocalist Douglas Pearce. Pearce typically appears onstage wearing a mask, and wields the totenkopf, the skull and bones insignia also used by German forces in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
The band is known for its controversial ballads and lyrics, such as "Fields of Rape" and "Rose Clouds of Holocaust," which has been criticized as a Holocaust denial song.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man accused this year in one of the state's worst cases of animal hoarding says authorities recently found 30 more dogs at his home.
Thomas Ambrosia tells the Press Enterprise newspaper (http://bit.ly/U4Muq7 ) in Bloomsburg he wasn't cited after Monday's search by state dog-law officers. Instead, Ambrosia says he has 10 days to reduce the number of dogs to 25.
Having more than 25 dogs requires a kennel license.
Ambrosia and his brother Albert pleaded guilty in August to animal cruelty after 185 Chihuahuas were seized from their home in Benton, a small town 110 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Most of the dogs found Monday were elderly female Chihuahuas. Thomas Ambrosia says the dogs are well cared for.
Dog-law officers with the state Department of Agriculture have declined to comment on the visit.

After waiting for an hour and a half at a Logan Square intersection, the police still hadn't shown up--so Shirley Tang, a 24-year-old Chicago Public Schools art teacher living in Ukrainian Village--decided to do it herself.
Tang called the guy's number, told him she was nearby, and then she and her boyfriend waited.
"The whole time I was panicking, thinking it was gone," Tang said.
But 15 minutes later, he walked up with the bike. It had a green frame, straight handlebars with worn rubber grips and thin black wheels with white rims. And it was Tang's Bianchi bike--and she had Craigslist to thank for her reunion with her wheels.
Niya Beraha, 22, of Pilsen, whose bike (also a Bianchi) was stolen from her friend's back porch a few days after Tang retrieved hers, also found her bike through a Craigslist ad. Then, she went to a police station and enlisted the help of several officers. They drove her to a gas station to meet the sellers--two teenagers, who brought the bike over to her while their father waited in the car. The officers repossessed the bike from the teenagers and returned it to Beraha, but the police couldn't prove they had stolen it, so they let them go.
Tang and Beraha are far from alone--according to a 2010 estimate from the Chicago Police Department, more than 5,000 bikes are stolen in Chicago every year. However, according to Chicago Stolen Bike Registry founder Howard Kaplan, 5,000 a year is a "gross underestimate." He said he'd guess the true number of bikes stolen per year is at least twice that, possibly closer to 15,000 a year.
"I have no doubt there are many summer days on which over 100 bikes are stolen in Chicago--even if you average 40 a day over 365 days you get well over 10,000," Kaplan said.
In August alone, when Tang and Beraha's bikes were stolen, Chicago Stolen Bike Registry shows that 159 bikes were reported missing--but this number only reflects the number of bikes that were registered stolen with the website. In September, according to the registry, 104 bikes had been reported stolen as of Sept. 25.
Many of those bikes might end up on Craigslist like Tang and Beraha's bikes.
Tang hadn't seen her bike since the week before, when it was stolen from her apartment's front yard while she was at work. It had been locked with a U-lock in its usual spot, attached to a wrought-iron fence, with a cable lock securing her front tire. Cutting through a U-lock must have been too hard, so the thief cut through the fence and attached gate instead.
Tang filed a police report about her bike and asked about it at a North Side shop that sometimes unknowingly stocks stolen bikes, Nearly New, but it had not been seen.
"I was kind of at that hopeless point, like 'I know it's not coming back,' " she said.
Tang was planning to visit the Swap-o-Rama flea market--a lot of bikes stolen in the city are sold there-- when she posted a "stolen bike" ad on Craigslist with a picture of her bike. Tang got three responses with a link to a Craigslist ad listing her bike for sale. The ad said the bike was a 2011 Fuji fixed-gear bike (it's a 1987 Bianchi world sport) and listed it for $350. Tang responded to the ad, arranged to see the bike and called the police.
The 911 operator told her to call again an hour before she met the seller so the police could help her approach him and take back her bike. She and her boyfriend drove to the intersection the seller had suggested, called the police and waited. They called a couple more times. They tried flagging down some passing police cars, but none stopped. The longer they waited, the more nervous she felt. She knew that if they didn't act soon, someone else would buy the bike first. So finally she called the seller and told him to meet them by the gas station.
Once the seller arrived, Tang said she played dumb and asked a lot of questions--"Can you lower the seat?" "What kind of rims are those? "What's the frame size?" He answered her questions confidently, with a bunch of made-up answers, she said.
"I built that bike. I know exactly what's going on with that bike," Tang said. "All the little quirks. He lied about everything."
At that point, she only had one more question for him: "Can I try it out?"
He handed it over. Once Tang's hands were safely on the bike, she took a step back.
"I said, 'Dude, this is my bike.' He said, 'That's bullshit.' I just rode away. It's mine, I don't care. I don't have to prove it to him that it's mine."
"I was screaming up a storm. God knows what I was yelling at that point."
Her boyfriend held the guy back while she pedaled down the street.
Tang was lucky that she was able to get her bike back the way she did--especially since her bike wasn't registered in the city and she didn't have the serial number.
Charlie Short of the Active Transportation Alliance and the Chicago Bicycle Ambassadors said bike registration--not a chance Craigslist encounter--is the best way to increase your chances of seeing your stolen bike again. According to the most recent statistics from the National Bike Registry, more than 1 million bikes are stolen each year in the U.S., and while more than 48 percent of these bikes are recovered by police, less than 5 percent are returned to their owners because they aren't registered and police have no way to match the recovered bikes to their owners. Chicago bike owners can register their bikes online or in person at their district's police department.
Short also said that if it's possible, it's best to get police support once you've located your stolen bike like Beraha did. In Beraha's stolen-bike case, it might have been a good move. When police officers looked up the teen sellers' father's information at the station, they found his name in their system with past charges for auto theft, an expired drivers' license, two auto thefts, domestic violence and rape.
"You never know what's going to happen," Beraha said. "The last thing you want to have is an altercation with a gangbanger with a rap sheet."

O'Sullivan calls on Tipp volunteers to help Guide Dogs
Olympian Sonia O'Sullivan is calling out to Tipperary people to volunteer with Irish charity Irish Guide Dogs in its upcoming campaigns. The world champion runner regularly volunteers and lends her support to the national charity. Sonia is fronting a major radio and poster campaign that begins on Monday 3rd March 2014 to encourage more people to volunteer their time with the charity.
"Irish Guide Dogs change people's lives," said Sonia. "I love working with them. The impact of the working dogs is life-changing and so worthwhile. I'd like to encourage as many people as possible to help out. You will enjoy it as well as doing some good for other people."
"We are a community-based charity and we need the support from people in every locality in Ireland to make a difference," said Louise O'Sullivan Geary, Community Fundraising and Volunteer Manager. "We are 80% funded through voluntary donations and fundraising events so any help members of the public can give us is much appreciated."
One working dog costs €38,000 to train through its working life and the charity offers its services to people for free to ensure it does not exclude anyone because of lack of income. In 2013 it trained the highest number of people to date, 197 people across all of its services.
"We could not do the work we do without the public's support and generosity. Please get in touch to sign up to help," said Louise.
You can volunteer with Irish Guide Dogs by email firstname.lastname@example.com, LoCall 1850 506300 or website www.guidedogs.ie

Freshman Dan Andrews (Rochester, NY/Franklin) ran for 292 yards on 31 carries and four touchdowns to set the school record for rushing yards in a game for a freshman leading The College at Brockport Football team to a 55-34 victory Saturday over William Paterson in a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) game in New Jersey.
The Golden Eagles (2-3 Overall, 1-1 NJAC) scored early and often against the Pioneers (2-4, 0-3) leading 34-6 at halftime. William Paterson scored three times in the fourth quarter but Brockport's early lead was more than enough to hold off the rally and a late 66-yard TD run by Shireem Cobb (Valley Stream, NY/Sewanaka) put the game out of reach.
On the second play of the game, Andrews broke loose for a 63-yard scoring run and Brockport led 7-0 just 48 seconds into the contest. Later in the first quarter, Brockport struck again this time with an 11-play drive that included a 41-yard reception by Darryl Thompson (Rochester, NY/Marshall) and was capped by an Andrews 13-yard scoring run as Brockport led 14-0.
William Paterson scored before the end of the half with a 31-yard field goal just before the end of the quarter. As the quarter ended, the Pioneers attempted an on-sides kick but Brockport was ready and recovered the kick to take over at the 40-yard line.
The Golden Eagles marched down the field and scored as quarterback Wayne Bonsell (Binghamton, NY/Binghamton) completed an 8-yard pass to Andrews and a 20-3 lead after the point after kick failed.
After a William Paterson three-and-out, Brockport was on the move again, starting the ensuing drive with a 57-yard pass from Bonsell to Thompson. After a 10-yard completion to Jake Spalik (Johnson City, NY/Johnson City) moved the ball to the 10-yard line, Andrews took over and ran the next two plays ending up in the end zone for his fourth score of the half and a 27-3 Brockport lead.
The Pioneers used a 15-play drive on their next possession to get to the Brockport 21-yard line but the drive stalled there and William Paterson had to settle for another field goal.
With 4:16 left in the first half, Brockport started another scoring drive with an Andrews 40-yard run and ended with a Cobb 8-yard scoring run and a commanding 34-6 lead at the break.
In the second half, William Paterson took the opening drive and moved down the field in 10 plays. After a 24-yard pass and catch moved the ball to the one-yard line, the Pioneers punched the ball into the end zone for their first touchdown of the day.
Two minutes later, Brockport stopped another Pioneer drive but fumbles the punt return and William Paterson took over in Brockport territory. A pass into the end zone two plays later ended the drive as Ross Ragonesi (East Northport, NY/Northport) intercepted the pass for a touchback.
The defensive play sparked the offense and Bonsell engineered another scoring drive highlighted by a 33-yard reception by Spalik and a 17-yard third-down run by Andrews setting up a 15-yard scoring run by Bonsell and a 41-13 lead for Brockport.
On the first possession of the fourth quarter, a muffed punt attempt by Brockport gave the ball to William Paterson in great field position and the Pioneers needed just two plays to get into the end zone and trim the Brockport lead to 41-20 two minutes into the fourth quarter.
Andrews started the next drive with a pair of double-digit yard runs and added a 20-yarder two plays later moving the ball near the 10-yard line. Andrews capped the drive with a five-yard scoring run to extend the Golden Eagles lead to 48-20.
After a Pioneer punt, Brockport took over but fumbled the ball away on a third down play and William Paterson recovered the ball and returned it for a touchdown from 47 yards out cutting the lead to 48-27 with 5:33 left to play.
A second on-sides kick by the Pioneers worked this time as William Paterson recovered and drove down the field for another TD making it a 14-point game at 48-34 with 3:13 on the clock.
William Paterson kicked the ball away and Brockport started its final drive from its own 25 yard line. Andrews gained nine yards on the first two plays of the drive but Cobb was stopped for no gain on the third down play setting up a 4th-and-1 situation. After a William Paterson timeout, Cobb broke through the line on the fourth down play and rambled 66 yards to the end zone to put the game away.
Andrews had an amazing day with 292 yards on the ground and four TDs and also had two receptions for 21 yards and another TD. The 292 yards is third best rushing performance in school history and the best ever by a freshman running back. Cobb added 103 yards and two scores a Brockport had a total of 438 yards on the ground. Bonsell was 17-for-28 for 240 yards and a touchdown through the air as Spalik led the way with eight catches. Thompson had two catches for 98 yards.
Jake Brickler (Hilton, NY/Hilton) led the defensive effort with eight tackles including one for a loss while Ragonesi and Anthony Bianchi (Rochester, NY/Aquinas) each had interceptions.

Furniture's Battle Scars
Part 2: Fictional 'incidents' give a piece a believable back story.
By Michael Dunbar
Pages: 54-59
From the December 2010 issue # 187
Buy this issue now
In Part 1 of "Aging Your Projects Gracefully" (November 2010, issue #186), I gave an overview of creating an aged look for new pieces of furniture, and discussed mechanical wear.
The second prevalent type of wear is incidental. "Incidental" means wear that did not result from ordinary use. Incidental wear is what happens to a piece of furniture when it spends time around human beings. Incidental wear might happen while the piece is experiencing ordinary use. However, it is not the result of that use. It is caused by something else. In writing your plausible fiction for a piece you made, ordinary wear is the day-to-day stuff of life. Incidental wear is the events that make life interesting.
Below are a bunch of twists and turns you can include in the plot of the story you are telling as you artificially age a piece of furniture.
Blog: Read Mike Dunbar's blog.
Web site: Visit the web site of The Windsor Institute, where Mike teaches.
Blog: Read about Editor Christopher Schwarz's class at The Windsor Institute.

Sylvania Southview's Jared Yoshino (3) celebrates scoring the game-winning goal Wednesday at Strobel Field in Sandusky, Ohio.
Enlarge | Buy This Image
SANDUSKY — It was the worst night of the season for the 19 senior players on the Southview boys soccer team when they closed the regular season by giving up nine second-half goals in a nightmarish loss to Northern Lakes League champion Anthony Wayne.
But, in that darkest hour, a championship team may have been born, as the Cougars used it as motivation to get where they are now — one win from a Division I state championship.
PHOTO GALLERY: Southview is state bound
Senior forward Jared Yoshino took a perfectly place throw-in from senior midfielder Jared Lyle and surged down the left side to score the golden goal Wednesday night, giving Southview a 1-0 victory over Aurora with 3:07 left in the second overtime of a state semifinal at Strobel Field.
"[Lyle] just threw it out there and I was one-on-one with the goalie, and I kicked it in," Yoshino said. "I don't even know how I got there.
"I knew he would throw in a good ball, so I just tried to read it. It was perfect, and it was great to get a breakthrough on them. They had a great defense."
It was just the third shot on goal in the 107-minute contest for the Cougars (17-3-2), and it sends them to Saturday's 7 p.m. state championship match at Crew Stadium in Columbus.
Sylvania Southview's goalie Eric Breeden had nine saves, including this one, in the shutout win.

Cougars goalkeeper Eric Breeden made nine saves to record the shutout.
"It was the best feeling in the world to help our team win the game and send us to state [final]," Yoshino said. "It's an amazing feeling. I never thought this would happen."
Unranked Southview will face No. 2 state-ranked Powell Olengtangy Liberty (21-1). Liberty defeated Mason 1-0 on Wednesday night in the other semifinal.
"Honestly, we've done that the whole season," Lyle said of his throw-in connection with Yoshino. "He knows when I'm looking to throw to the corner.
"He was ready and the defender wasn't, so he made the best of it. I was just there to help him along."
"We said at halftime, 'Your space is out wide because they're going to pack it in the middle. We have to utilize that space.' It paid off," said Southview coach Chad Cody.
"Our offense starts sometimes with our dead-ball situations, and we knew the pressure Yoshino can apply to the defense."
In a scoreless opening half, Southview was in the neighborhood more frequently but couldn't quite get to the doorstep, while Aurora knocked on the door several times.
The Greenmen (16-4-2) got five shots on goal, all stopped by Breeden.
Southview, with a strong wind at its back, had several decent rushes from midfield, but managed just one shot on goal. Lyle's free kick from 40 yards out was on the mark in the 17th minute, but was grabbed by Aurora keeper Justin Pavlick.
The match grew more close-to-the-vest after halftime, with Aurora managing just two shots on goal over those 40 minutes, and Southview producing none.
The Cougars best opportunity came on a left-corner throw-in from Lyle in the 75th minute. But, with a cluster of bodies in front of the goal, no Southview player got near the ball.
Breeden made one save in each of the OT periods, and Pavlick made one on a Lyle free kick with 6:25 left in the second extra stanza.
Cody, Yoshino, and Lyle all echoed how a 9-3 loss to AW in the regular-season finale inspired the Cougars to their farthest tournament run in the program's history.
"It was a huge motivator," Cody said. "That was an embarrassing loss. Anthony Wayne is an outstanding team and deserved to win, but we just folded. That game could definitely be a blessing in disguise. Everyone was embarrassed, but it motivated us."
"We all knew we could come back strong from that," Yoshino said. "It helped us, because we worked harder in practice and knew what we had to do to come back and win. That taught us to fight back no matter what happens."
"That game made us realize something," Lyle said. "We were kind of cloud-9 toward the end of the season, and they beat us. We realized we had to come out and play our best, and we've been playing the best soccer of our lives since then."

Norman Deppenbroek has ported NewLisp to Syllable Desktop. NewLisp is a variety of the Lisp programming language meant for scripting, with a friendlier syntax and a practical approach. Also, newer versions of Objective Caml (3.10.2) and PERL (5.10.0) were ported. Kelly Wilson got OCaml to supports PThreads on Syllable Desktop. The new PERL is adapted to the new system structure of Syllable 0.6.5 and should be better at finding PERL extension modules. XML::Parser and Net::SSLeay were also ported and rebuilt for PERL 5.10.0. Binary packages for all these ports are available here.
Point of order

It's "Perl" and not "PERL"
Good stuff - go Syllable!
