The Stormers received a boost on Thursday when re-evaluation of prop Neil Fullard's injury has deemed he will be fit to start the Super 14.
It was reported that Fullard, who suffered "a pinched nerve" in his neck, was unlikely to partake in the competition at all and that coach Kobus van der Merwe was urgently seeking a replacement front ranker.
"The original assessment was that Neil had an injury similar to that of Rob Linde," Technical Director Gary Gold told keo.co.za. "Re-evaluation has shown, however, that the injury is not nearly as serious. We're quite confident Neil will return to full fitness within two weeks."
With such a imposing schedule, the Stormers coaching team have constantly reinforced the importance of "vigorous and disciplined rotation" to avoid burn-out, and thus back-up players such as Fullard will have vital roles to play in the weeks ahead.
Fullard was mentioned expressly by Federico Mendez when the Argentine was with Western Province as a prop with "immense potential", and there are many in the Cape who hope he's the long-term soultion to the region's tighthead woes.

SEC NOTEBOOK: Targeting rule, ejections draw mixed reviews
In light of football's ever-growing concussion crisis, the game is taking precautions at all levels to increase the safety of players.
College football did its part this past offseason to enhance the safety of its players with the introduction of the targeting penalty, where defensive players who hit, or "target," defenseless ball carriers in the head with the crown of their helmet will automatically be ejected from the game in addition to costing their team 15 yards.

Search Health Information
Rabies is a viral infection of certain warm-blooded animals and is caused by a virus in the Rhabdoviridae family. It attacks the nervous system and, once symptoms develop, it is 100 percent fatal in animals, if left untreated.
In North America, rabies occurs mainly in skunks, raccoons, foxes, and bats. In some areas, these wild animals infect domestic cats, dogs, and livestock. In the United States, cats are more likely than dogs to be rabid.
Usually, rabies is rare in small rodents such as beavers, chipmunks, squirrels, rats, mice, or hamsters. Rabies is also rare in rabbits. In the mid-Atlantic states, where rabies is increasing in raccoons, woodchucks can also be rabid.
The rabies virus enters the body through a cut or scratch, or through mucous membranes (such as the lining of the mouth and eyes), and travels to the central nervous system. Once the infection reaches the brain, the virus travels into the nerves and multiplies in different organs.
The salivary glands and organs are most important in the spread of rabies from one animal to another. When an infected animal bites another animal, the rabies virus is transmitted through the infected animal's saliva. Scratches by claws of rabid animals are also dangerous because these animals lick their claws.
The incubation in humans from the time of exposure to the onset of illness can range anywhere from five days to more than a year, although the average incubation period is about two months. The following are the most common symptoms of rabies. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
|Rabies: Stage 1
|Rabies: Stage 2
The symptoms of rabies may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In animals, a test called direct fluorescent antibody test (dFA) is often used to detect rabies. Test results are usually known within a few hours. Knowing these results may save a child from undergoing treatment if the animal is not rabid.
In humans, a number of tests are needed to confirm or rule out rabies, as no single test can be used to rule out the disease with certainty. Tests are performed on samples of serum, saliva, spinal fluid, and skin biopsies taken from the nape of the neck.
Your child's physician will determine specific treatment for rabies. Unfortunately, there is no known, effective treatment for rabies once symptoms of the disease occur. However, there is an effective new vaccine that provides immunity to rabies when given after an exposure. It may also be used for protection before an exposure occurs, for persons such as veterinarians and animal handlers.
Being safe around animals, even your own pets, can help reduce the risk of animal bites. Some general guidelines for avoiding animal bites and rabies include the following:
Teaching your child about animal safety may also help to prevent animal bites. Some things to remember include the following:
If you or someone you know has been bitten by an animal, remember to report the following facts to your healthcare provider:

Visitors showing up early to Saturday's event on Main Street in Mount Airy were greeted by the smell of donuts and Polish sausage and the old-time sounds of the Mainline Gravy Soppers.
The sounds and smells heralded that they have arrived at one of the Southeast's premier events, the 47th annual Autumn Leaves Festival.
This year's event featured just less than 250 vendors from as far away as New Mexico, selling items that ran the gamut from the practical to the whimsical.
And attendees said the festival was one of their favorite events of the year.
"We came from Greensboro with a women's ministry group," said Carol Sherwood.
Sherwood came with a group of 14, caravanning in a van and three cars.
Sitting on a granite bench at the intersection of Main Street and Independence Avenue, Sherwood was all smiles.
"This is just great," she said. "It's a much nicer and bigger event that we have in Greensboro. There are more vendors and everyone seems to be having such a great time. I love to see people get up and spontaneously dance in front of the stage."
But dancing, while certainly prevalent at the festival, took a back seat to seeing, being seen and shopping for hand-crafted items, according to Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce President Betty Ann Collins.
"The stores on Main Street I have talked to said they have just been having an incredible weekend," she said, noting that the newly-opened Antique Mall that has opened in the former Fancy Gap Outfitters location had a record-breaking day Friday.
"They say it's the best day they've had yet," Collins said. "That's just great news. The stores on Main Street are really reaping the benefits of the 200,000 or so who show up for the festival."
And the stores aren't the only ones having a great sales weekend.
"Several of the vendors are saying they're having the best weekend they've ever had," Collins said.
Perhaps a more mundane way of judging the crowd, Collins said volunteers were having a hard time keeping up with the amount of trash generated by the crowd.
"I can tell you this," she said. "From the trash standpoint it was running over before noon Friday."
The solution, since pickup wasn't scheduled until after dark?
"We got bags and gloves and went out and emptied it ourselves," Collins said with a laugh. "It was a monster of a job."
And the crowds this year started arriving early Friday and hadn't let up by Saturday afternoon, she added.
"We saw the crowd start building by 10 Friday, and started with a slow build, but it exploded before noon and continued growing throughout the day," Collins said. "It's hard to measure, but I can tell you the crowd this year is huge."
The festival is the only street event hosted by the chamber, and revenue from the event is used to fund programming throughout the year.
But Collins said a study conducted among the non-profit groups who participate indicate that they raise nearly $500,000 during the festival.
"We've only done one economic study over the years, but in 2008 it was determined that the Autumn Leaves Festival brought in about $8.5 million to the area, when you account for lodging, gas, meals and purchases," Collins said.
As for the crowd?
Walking past a hit-and-miss engine churning away at the Ted and Fred's Ice Cream booth, one attendee became nostalgic.
"It's been a long time since I've heard anything that sounds like that," he said wistfully.

Poachers: Stories
Poachers: Stories (Paperback)
Related Editions
In ten stunning and bleak tales set in the woodlands, swamps and chemical plants along the Alabama River, Tom Franklin stakes his claim as a fresh, original Southern voice. His lyric, deceptively simple prose conjures a world where the default setting is violence, a world of hunting and fishing, gambling and losing, drinking and poaching-a world most of us have never seen. In the chilling title novella (selected for the anthologies New Stories from the South: The Year's Best, 1999 and Best Mystery Stories of the Century), three wild boys confront a mythic game warden as mysterious and deadly as the river they haunt. And, as a weathered, hand-painted sign reads: "Jesus is not coming." This terrain isn't pretty, isn't for the weak of heart, but in these deperate, lost people, Franklin somehow finds the moments of grace that make them what they so abundantly are: human.
About the Author
Tom Franklin is the author of Hell at the Breech and Poachers. He lives in Oxford, Mississippi, with his wife, the poet Beth Ann Fennelly, and their three children. He teaches at the University of Mississippi.

Nearly 50 dogs, ranging in age from 12 weeks to five years, were found yesterday living in the windowless basement of a six-story apartment building in the Bronx. The space, which served as a makeshift dog fighting arena, was littered with crude wooden cages and had the capacity for roughly 100 spectators. Raul Sanchez, the building's superintendant, was taken into custody and charged with animal fighting, a felony.
Working closely with the NYPD Vice Enforcement Division and the Bronx District Attorney's Office, our team played a critical role in the rescue of the dogs, forensic evidence collection and on-scene documentation.
Also discovered on scene were a loaded .25-caliber handgun, U.S. currency, and other equipment associated with dog fighting—including dog treadmills, harnesses, muzzles, syringes and a shopping cart full of raw chicken parts.
"Organized dog fighting is a brutal form of animal abuse where dogs are exploited and forced to fight as their owners profit from their torture," says Howard Lawrence, Senior Director of Operations for the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement. "The dogs we saw today exhibited scarring and injuries consistent with fighting dogs. We're determined to protect New York City's animals from this form of cruelty."
The dogs, many of whom showed scars from fighting, were transported to a temporary shelter for further evaluation by our emergency response medical team. The ASPCA will continue to provide legal support to the Bronx District Attorney's Office to help prosecute the case.
The investigation is ongoing.
This is so sad and pathetic !! Those poor dogs.....the people responsible should be locked up for a long long time !!! Thank God they are saved....
Thank God for the ASPCA and their continued efforts to stop dog fighting. The US gov't needs to make a stand and enforce harsh penalties for these cruel activities and the suffering of animals. Michael Vick was a good example of the law enforced, with lenient penalties. Thank You to all who protect and save these and other animals every day. I salute you.
Now lets see how many the ASPCA has euthanized. Its what they do after all.
They rescue them from these dog fighters but I bet anything they will get put down at the shelter. They fought, got rescued and then most liketly will die at the shelters. The dogs didn't win.
Unfortunately this is too true. The younger animals which are friendly may find homes but you have to remember these dogs have been trained to do nothing but rip other animals apart. Rehoming that kind of dog would cause so many problems, you would have to be so strict on new owners to make sure their new dog didn't end up killing their neighbours pets, it just wouldn't be feasible.
The animals were saved from a lifetime of pain and torture, that is better than nothing. (I still don't think it's enough)
Its an unfortunate fact of life that many of these dogs may be too far gone to rehabilitate and will have to be euthanized. After working in a shelter for several years I've have had to come to terms with this reality even though I hate the idea. Still euthanasia would be far better for these dogs than dying a long painful dead in the dog fighting ring!
I am very disturbed with the Aspca's trigger finger. I very much appreciate all that you do but there have been quite a few incidences of dogs being euthanized to quickly. Does a certain Rottweiler come to mind? Please increase efforts to aid the ACC so less dogs are killed as opposed to the other way around.
Thank you for rescuing these poor animals. God bless you all. Hopefully the people behind this inhumane treatment of innocent animals will be punished to the full extreme.
Thank you for finding this horrible dog fighting basement. I can only wish that all the humans involved in this terrible form of entertainment and money making event will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I hope everyone is caught and that karma comes back in double the pain. Fighting animals is horrible, dogs are man's best friends... Thank you ASPCA

Legalizing suppressors (ironically not only legal but required in many other countries) could be another one. I would be heavily in favor of some legislation stating (in absences any ruling from the SC) the minimum level of gun "rights" that all states must respect.
From a political POV this might help the anti-gun people split the pro-gun block. Some will refuse to give up any gun rights. Others, however, would probably be willing to trade a 10 round limit for being able to carry when they have business in NJ or Chicago.
Perhaps I could ask this question differently, what rules do we think the gun control lobby would be comfortable relaxing, especially if it meant they could get some of the new restrictions they want?
E finita la cuccagna
Liberals want you to think like them, Conservatives just want you to think!
Since I've heard this compromise expression a number of times I thought I would ask some people what pro-gun laws they think could be relaxed. I also specifically acknowledged many of the moral issues some will face when it comes to accepting say a magazine limit as anything like a legitimate law. If you look at my posts in the Podium (94% gun related, 1% other 5% telling idiots they are idiots ) you can see I completely understand the slippery slope that a compromise can suggest. That is why I prefaced this question by asking that we ignore that for the time being.
I've noticed that "compromise" to a Democrat usually means "my way or the highway".
I think the larger issue, and the one that Clinton was referring to a couple weeks back - is that there is a very large latent body of gun owners that isn't a member of a lobbying group. IOW - many people see the NRA as the head of the gun rights efforts, and they can take the heat and battle things out politically, but a large number of people own a gun and are generally non vocal about it - push too hard on "gun rights" and they'll voice their opinion at the ballot box.

I feel we should be able to carry anywhere that allows public access and that no person should be able to prohibit legal carry on their premises as long as their premises are open to the public. So for instance, Sam's club could decide not to allow CCW but Giant could not. Schools could not. Parks not, etc.
I also feel that there should be no limitation on certain classes of firearms like the so-called "assault weapons". And it follows there should be no magazine limit. CCW should be shall-issue in all states.
I am ok with having to have a license, application and training for CCW. I am NOT ok with any form of registration. I am also ok with background checks. Not sure about private sales. I don't think this is a big issue in reality but it is a manufactured one. If it came down to it, I might relent on this issue if all others were granted. MD has 100% background checks for all regulated firearms anyway already including private sales.
Some people's idea of a compromise:
A man walks up to you and asks you go give him everything in your wallet.
You say no.
He then asks you to compromise and give him half of what's in your wallet.
You agree.
Both of you walk away happy as you were able to compromise.
The registration aspect creates a very bad potential abuse of power for the federal government, as well.
A cursory glance makes UBGCs sound good to a lot of people, but scratching the surface changes that, IMO.

I think a lot of the appeal is from novices that don't know current laws. I've mentioned this before, but I listen to a local radio station every day on the ride home and it's been interesting to observe the "education" of the host since Sandy Hook took place. Initially he was for "gun control", AWB, UBGC, all these sort of things, but since he's educated himself and changed his stance. Heck, until a couple weeks ago he didn't know all the stuff one needed to go through to get a CT CCW permit - he thought one could just walk into a store and walk out with a gun! He still, I believe, confuses gun registries - too many people still believe there's some sort of nationwide registry of who owns what... (some would debate the existence of such a thing...)
Private enterprises should be able to do whatever private enterprises want.
If I knew a local grocery store didn't support CCW and I made a habit of CCing.... I'd choose to not go to that store. If it made a dent in their bottom line, they may change their stance.

One of the reasons why many of us say no crimes are committed with the tax stamped guns is likely because those who can afford a $10k gun AND go through the background checks are not the type who normally are committing gun crimes. But I can't say that wouldn't change if say newly manufactured machine guns came on the market. Honestly I figure it would still be a non-issue but since currently these guns are expensive, in order to avoid any claims that new machine guns would flood the market I decided we would claim an artificial price hike. Now people can't claim the new lower price would result in a blood bath.

A lot has to do with how things are presented to the parole board by the prison officials. We used to have a Youth Parole Board for juveniles, prior to around 1992 or so. It was ended due to some notorious cases, mostly sex offenders, who re-offended almost immediately after release by the YPRB.

Oh and before the hand wringers get too hysterical and start to claim we're all homophobic...the experts quoted in the original article trying to rationalize pedophillia as normal are the ones who made the link between it and gay marriage.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
Make up your mind: is it a slippery slope (ie relevant) or non sequitur (ie irrelevant) ?
definition of "non sequitur" - An inference or conclusion that does not follow from the premises or evidence.
Hmmm. I looked twice just to make sure. Nothing in either of those definitions about "relevant" or "irrelevant."
Nice try, but it's not going to work today.
How clever.
And has no more to do with the acceptance of pedophilia, child molestation, or statutory rape than heterosexuality. In fact it has less, made witness by the case of Debra Lafave. Normally I don't argue in the hypothetical, but I don't think it's speculation that had she been male regardless of good looks and charming personality would still be in prison. You certainly wouldn't have geezers on bulletin boards wondering out loud , "Where were teacher like that when I was 14?"
You know - that business of living creatures that helps one to procreate the species.
Oops. Sorry, I forgot. You don't do that.
Where in the article did it say that something being a "sexual orientation" meant that it got the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval?
Are you under the mistaken impression that homosexuality is legal because it's a sexual orientation? Read the court's opinion. No where does it say that laws against homosexuality are unconstitutional because it's a sexual orientation.
That's a pretty important distinction and one which the laws of the various states generally take into account. Scientifically, it's a legitimate question why a sexually immature person is attractive to a sexually mature person. The stages older than sexual maturity are legally somewhat arbitrary lines which as the article states have and do indeed vary over time, culture, and location.
(I try to keep things simple.)
Again, you haven't demonstrated that. One of the favorite accusations against Mohammed was that he was a pedophile. In truth, he probably wasn't out of step with surrounding cultures. We don't hate Thailand, but the King of Siam had many wives. Were any of them what we would consider children? In the US we have had 12 year old brides, and in Mexico they apparently still do. We don't approve of this, but what precisely has it to do with gay rights or homosexuality? Homosexuality was a felony or a capital crime while all of this was going on.
But while we're on the topic, the LDS founder and Big Prophet Guy, Joseph Smith, definitely liked 'em young too. So we Americans aren't immune from pedophilia.
Which is why I'm concerned. The Canadian shrinks have thrown up their hands and have surrendered. When and how long is it going to take for American shrinks to do the same?U.S. Army, Retired

And right on cue...Nova's fellow travelers at the DUmp are discussing the same article...albeit with different and not so surprising opinions on the issue.

RYAN VREDE, writing from Dublin, says there needs to be some tempering of expectation around the quality of the Springboks' performances, but not of the expectation of a clean sweep.
Coach Heyneke Meyer isn't going anywhere, even if the Springboks are blanked on this tour. This will come as a disappointment to a growing number of critics. But Meyer enjoys strong support from the bulk of the men who determine his longevity in the role of head coach, most of whom are sold on his playing philosophy, his vision regarding selection and are sympathetic to his plight in light of a host of injuries to key players.
Meyer has never been able to field his first-choice side because of injuries, and is currently in a position where he is missing three highly experienced players – Bismarck du Plessis, Bryan Habana and Frans Steyn – who, when on form, would make any elite Test side. There are a clutch of other high quality players unavailable as well, further undermining Meyer's cause, while his quest to secure the services of Japan-based players, most notably Fourie du Preez and Jaque Fourie, was met with a refusal by their clubs.
Meyer is particular concerned about the impotency of his backline, feeling Du Preez and Fourie (Jaco Taute would have shifted to fullback) would have added a special dimension that has been lacking throughout his tenure. His tactics have been under constant fire, but their time spent in the opposition's 22m compares favourably with the All Blacks, the difference being how clinical the world champions have been in those positions. He choice of flyhalf will be critical to any improvements in this regard, but there needs to be observable gains in the decision-making, innovation and execution of their backline play overall.
In three mid-year Tests, the Blacks put 124 points past a better Ireland side that will front the Springboks in Dublin on Saturday, conceding just 29. It would be laughable to compare the current Springbok side to the Blacks – who I'm sure will be remembered as one of the game's best – but it does offer us some insight into the strength of the Irish, who also lost to Wales at the Aviva Stadium, drew with France and were comprehensively beaten by England in the Six Nations.
Certainly they will be a formidable opponent in front of a capacity crowd (the Springboks have won just one of the last four matches in Dublin). However, Ireland's quality has been depleted through the recent withdrawals of Brian O'Driscoll, Rob Kearney and Rory Best, while combative openside Sean O'Brien and experienced back rower Stephen Ferris will be sorely missed. Paul O'Connell expected to lose the race to recover from injury (further expanding the leadership void). Consider also that that prop Cian Healy is struggling with his shoulder and Declan Fitzpatrick is still carrying a concussion sustained last weekend, and Ireland are there for the taking.
There will be the usual threatening rhetoric from Scotland, but surely the Springboks won't replicate the embarrassing defeat in 2010. Scotland lost all their Six Nations matches, and while they beat Australia in torrential rain in Newcastle in June, the result was more a reflection of the Wallabies' weakness and inconsistency, which persisted into the Rugby Championship, than it was a new dawn for Scottish rugby.
The sternest Test of the Springboks will come at Twickenham against England. They haven't lost to Stuart Lancaster's men in 10 Tests, including three wins in their last three outings at Twickenham, but the quality of this side doesn't match their predecessors and their injury list is likely to be lengthier by then. They will also face a home side desperate to avenge their 2-0 June series defeat.
The Springboks have won by an average of 19 points in the aforementioned matches, but they will settle for a less emphatic margin if it means they win three from three. Despite what Meyer lacks in quality because of injuries, a tour sweep is still a realistic expectation.

Unless you are testing a file utility class, if you access files during your test, you exceeding the scope of the unit that you should be testing.
That statement sums up the principle behind this rule. However, there are more pragmatic reasons to consider as well.
Clarity / Evident Data
Often the motivation for violating this principle is to read test data. Separating test data from the code of your test class makes that test significantly harder to understand and debug.
In his TDD book, Kent Beck alludes to this practice as Evident Data. Show the reader of your test the intent of the code being tested by using clear and understandable data as parameters to your code and expected results in your assert statements. Once test data moves to a separate file, especially in binary formats, the maintenance cost and usefulness of that test becomes worrisome.
Speed Of Execution
Reading files is much slower than executing code. Most
Ease of Setup and Brittleness Issues
Unit tests that depend on files being in the right place in order to pass can no longer be executed simply with a test runner and proper classpath. They must be executed in the context of a build which ensures that the files used are in the right place to be read by the test. This raises maintenance concerns, since changes to the test files would cause your unit tests to break in possibly hard-to-understand ways.
Design Considerations
Most of the time what you really care about is streams. Your design should be flexible enough to deal with other sources than files. By accounting for this you will also get a more flexible design.
- Design all classes that have a legitimate need to read files be coupled to the rest of your codebase via interfaces.
- In some cases, consider using URLs instead of File classes. URLs have handlers which can be mocked out quite easily.
- Create a separate, non-Ashcroft integration test suite with tests to cover implementations that read files.

When many people were being drafted into or attempting to dodge the Vietnam War, Dolphus Jerome Allen Jr. signed up to serve his country.
The 83-year-old veteran, minister and Kinston native died on March 4 in Black Mountain, his most recent home.
Friends and family honored him at a memorial service last week at 902 Church, and a celebration of his life was held in Black Mountain on March 14.
His nephew Steve Allen said about 30 people attended the memorial on Wednesday night, but at least 80 attended the event in Black Mountain. He said his uncle had a sense of humor and was like a father figure to him.
"One thing that's always stood out in my mind," he said, "is him enlisting in the Army and going to Vietnam, volunteering to go in Vietnam. ... He just felt the calling that the Lord wanted him to go over there."
In his early 30s, he served three years as an Army chaplain — one year of which was in Vietnam, his former wife, Hazel Allen, said.
"He pondered over that and felt very strongly that if there were men over there, and women, who were sacrificing their freedom and their lives to be in a situation like that, he felt called to be there to support them in a ministerial way and any other way that he could," she said.
He worked closely with the civilians, including the French nuns who ran an orphanage in Vietnam, Hazel Allen said.
"He did a lot of good work for the Vietnamese people, the South Vietnamese people, while he was there," she said. "I think that enabled him to get through a lot of stuff."
Those who knew "Dolph," as they liked to call him, remembered his story, written in a letter to his father, of how he built a church in a village outside the base where he was deployed in Vietnam.
"It was just a little small church they built with scraps of lumber they found here and there," Steve Allen said, "but it didn't have a bell."
Allen said his uncle wrote the letter, explaining how the church needed a bell. Through donations from Kinston residents, a bell was purchased and shipped to Vietnam, he said.
Rick Vernon, retired pastor of Southwood Memorial Christian Church and now in an advisory position at 902 Church, said Dolph built the church for the local residents.
"He was just real proud he was able to build that chapel there in the village," he said.
Dolph was also known for offering numerous trips to the Holy Land — two of which were formed in Kinston.
Vernon said his trips were "more than just a geographical experience."
"He made it a spiritual experience," Vernon said. "He opened up the Holy Land in a way, you saw it politically, geographically (and) biblically, and he did it in such a non-judgmental way. ... He helped us to understand that all of the people that live there have their beliefs, and there's no reason we can't all live together and love each other, even with different points of view. He just had a way of doing that. And I admired him for that."
Dolph had taken so many trips to Jerusalem, he was well known there.
"Whether they were Palestinians in Israel or Muslim or Jewish, they all had a tremendous amount of respect for him when you were there," said Vernon.
Vernon said Dolph was one of his best mentors in helping him perform his ministry.
"I'd say he's one of the best listeners I ever met in my life," he said.
Dolph was a trained family counselor and had a lot of faith in people, Vernon said. He was also known to be a "non-conformist," which sometimes got him into trouble, he said.
"He didn't go along with whatever the establishment of the church would say," he said, "no matter what denomination. He didn't let that keep him from doing what is right."
Hazel Allen said she became his caregiver when he moved near the state veterans' home in Black Mountain where he volunteered as chaplain.
Dolph, the son of Dolphus Allen Sr. and Myrtle White Allen and brother of Slim Short, a radio and television personality in Greenville, married Hazel in his early 20s in Kinston and moved away so he could begin an extensive amount of education. The couple had three children.
Vernon said even though Allen had moved away, he would visit Kinston, so many people have never forgotten him.
"He was a very educated man, but humble," Vernon said. "He genuinely loved everybody."
His sister, Weenonah Allen Turner, said he would talk to anyone and always carried a smile.
"He never judged anybody by race or how you looked," she said. "He treated everybody the same."
As he did for many others, Dolph married Steve and JoAnn Allen, renewed their vows 30 years later, baptized JoAnn and performed the eulogy for JoAnn's father and Steve's parents' funerals.
"He made you special," she said. "The hospice chaplain at the funeral on Friday said, after listening to everyone talk, he said, 'I thought Dolph and I had this special relationship, but everybody that meets him thinks they have this special relationship,' because he did have a special relationship with everybody. He's just that type of person."
His daughter, Susan Donnelly, said her father never met a stranger and was giving and loving.
"His life impacted so many people," she said, "but no more so than to his family who will miss him dearly."
Dolph suffered from the physical effects of Agent Orange used in Vietnam, but died peacefully, Hazel Allen said.
"I remember him as a man who enjoyed living, lived it to the fullest, always full of energy, loved to play basketball," she said, "played tennis and even four or five months before he died, he was trying to get a tennis ball on the tennis court."
She said he continued to engage in his ministry until a couple of months before he died.
"He was happy with life right up until the day he died," Vernon said.

Work is underway to rescue an historic structure located on the campus of Lotts Creek Community School, and the effort is coming just in time.
"It was ready to fall," Alice Whitaker, the school's director, said of the now vacant building referred to locally as "the log cabin."
Whitaker, a former Cordia student and niece of the school's founder, the late Alice Slone, said the log cabin has served a variety of purposes, including as a radio listening center in the days before television. It was built in 1934 to house the school's teachers, and some classes were once held there.
The cabin was last used as a residence in the 1980s, and has since stood vacant, overlooking Lotts Creek Road and the Cordia School gymnasium. In that time, the structure built entirely of locally-sourced timber has fallen into disrepair. It became apparent a few years ago that logs at the bottom of the cabin would need to be replaced. Whitaker had contractors determine how best to restore the structure.
"They'd throw up their hands and say that it couldn't be done, or it could be done for $50,000 or whatever," she said.
Since it was not old enough to qualify for heritage funds (it would have to be 100 years or older), restoring it posed a dichotomy between funding school programs, like offering Cordia graduates scholarships to attend college, or diverting money to the log cabin.
"Anytime I had to choose between scholarships and putting money into that, I chose scholarships," she said.
But when a bit of legacy funding recently became available from one of Ms. Slone's friends who had also stayed at the cabin for a period, the time had come to begin restoration.
"I was just letting it die, and then I decided I'll just bite the bullet," Whitaker said. "It's too important."
Work began last week after a chance meeting Whitaker had with Charles Feltner, a carpenter who last year completed work on the Log Cathedral in Buchkorn. He agreed to get the structure sound again, which began by removing a section of the first floor and replacing wooden beams that had essentially disintegrated over time. Feltner noted on site last week that a lot of work remains to be done, including repairing the second floor which sank along with the rest of the cabin as the foundation beams gave way.
The cabin itself, as one might imagine, has a bit of good history attached to it. Ms. Slone decided to build it just a year after founding Lotts Creek Community School, a residential settlement school located a mile from the Knott and Perry County line. Classes were originally held in the late Everett Combs's house, and shortly thereafter in space provide by the local Masonic lodge.
That's when Ms. Slone obtained approximately $200 and plans were underway to build the log cabin, the construction of which is not without its own story.
There was apparently a feud ongoing between some families on Lotts Creek that at the time dated back several years. Ms. Slone and her sister, Whitaker's mother, recruited both factions to help build the log cabin, unbeknownst to the feudists.
"They came out, and of course squared off to shoot, and Aunt Alice got up on a stand and made a little speech, about this is all for the education and the good of our children," Whitaker said.
One of the men came forward and called for a truce for the day to help "build the little lady her school house."
"That was how it was built," Whitaker explained, "and never after was there a problem with the feud. It just kind of pulled everybody together."
The log cabin was the first structure Ms. Slone built for the Lotts Creek Community School. She would go on to build a second cabin in 1938, which originally served as the girls' dormitory. It functions today as a guest house. There was also office space constructed in the 1940s, and in 1952 a three-story classroom building was opened for students. Today's students at Cordia School, a part of the Knott County School District, attend classes in a modern building opened in 1998, and was built completely using private funds.
As for the log cabin, Whitaker noted work is going well so far, and she hopes summer work groups which visit Lotts Creek each year also will be able to help with the inside of the cabin next year. Once the cabin is completely restored, she said it will likely serve as a heritage center for archival purposes.

Will Salesforce be the Catalyst to Propel MDM into the Cloud?
Salesforce.com – a company that has become synonymous with the cloud – acquired over 100,000 customers and one million users within a span of just 10 years. Compare that to a traditional company like General Electric, the only company to be on the Dow Jones Index for over 100 years – it took them over five-times that many years to acquire the same number of customers. This goes to say that customers have been enamored by the cloud and its benefits – no software maintenance, rapid time-to-value, and subscription pricing – to name a few. No wonder, there are thousands of cloud applications and millions of users out there now. I've seen projections that the cloud computing market will grow to $241 billion by 2020. This might be a conservative estimate.

Our friends over at Breitbart.com broke the story on Thursday afternoon – Obama's literary agent published a catalogue of its roster back in 1991 that stated the president was "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
It was all just a mistake ABC News, one of the few mainstream American outlets to run the story, was quick to say. In fact they ran with a headline saying, "Obama's Literary Agent Misidentified His Birthplace in 1991." They quote Miriam Goderich as saying "This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me–an agency assistant at the time."
Ah, but as they say on late night TV, wait, there's more.
Turns out Ms. Goderich made that mistake over and over again for 16 years even after Obama was a best-selling author, a US Senator and had announced his run for president. Sun News contributor Ben Shapiro added that story to the mix including this link to the archived website as it appeared on April 3, 2007.
Then comes Steve Boman, another Chicagoan who once used the Dystel literary agency at the same time as Obama did back in the 90s. He says there was only one place the agent got biographical information from – the authors.
So far the mainstream American media are ignoring this and the Canadian media, the folks that would print a story about Sarah Palin's third cousin twice removed if it would embarrass her, are silent as well. Some have moved to dismiss it as a mistake but it is one that survived several re-writes of Obama's bio including the update that he was a senator.
Does this prove that Obama was born in Kenya?
No, but combined with the oddities of his birth certificate and statements by people like his wife Michelle who called Kenya her husband's home country, it doesn't help the Obama campaign put this story to rest. In fact it gives it more credibility.
The best the president can come out of this with is admitting that he is a liar or willing to let lies be told about his to make him seem more interesting. There is zero chance that this was a mistake that lasted for 16 years with an agency that he employed to represent him.
So if he wasn't born in Kenya but just claimed to be then why was that? Was it to make himself more marketable in the publishing world? Was it to make himself more attractive to the ladies?
This should be front page news everywhere but it isn't. That will only feed those that are birthers and convinced that the media is trying to cover up for Obama.
Radio host Glenn Beck, not a birther at all, dismissed the idea that Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii when he talked about this on his radio program Friday and in the past has called the birth certificate issue a diversion used by the Obama campaign when they are in trouble. Lately they have been in trouble with polls showing Mitt Romney gaining support overall and now leading among women.
Meanwhile sites that do believe the birther theory like Infowars and World Net Daily say that this is just another piece of evidence. WND founder Joseph Farrah says he doesn't understand media outlets, including Breitbart, distancing themselves from the birther story.
I do understand that, there is a large section of the public that dismisses anything to do with birtherism and its not just the MSM. Not being American I haven't invested much time or thought into this and I would agree that as for defeating Obama the better issue is his horrible economic record.
That doesn't excuse the MSM for a dereliction of duty in properly vetting the president. Now that this information is out there it is time for them to get on the job. As I said, the best case scenario for the president is that he is just a liar trying to impress people.

Croatia defeated Greece, 61-50, to finish the U16 European Championship Women in ninth place.
The Croatians took an early lead and did not look back, as the Greek team lacked power in their last game to threaten the Croatian victory.
Ivana Dojkic, with 23 points and 10 rebounds, and Anita Kelava, with 14 points and 15 rebounds, both had double-doubles to spark the Croatian domination.
Meanwhile, Penelopi Pavlopoulou's 12 points and Kleanthi Oikonomou's 10 rebounds were the most remarkable performances by Greek players.
Sweden downed the Netherlands, 61-51, to finish in 11th place in the U16 European Championship Women.
As the Dutch started better, the Swedish team kept the game very tight, grabbing the lead in the second quarter on a three-pointer by Anna Stern, 26-25.
In the second half, the Swedish managed their lead and cruised to victory despite a good third quarter by the Dutch.
Andjela Hrnjez, with 19 points, was the best Swedish scorer, while Anna Stern scored 11.
For the Dutch team, Janis Ndiba stood out with a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds.

Heinrich Brüssow will continue to play an important game-shaping role for the Cheetahs and the Springboks in 2012.
Nobody polarises opinion like a world-class fetcher. Ironically, nobody is as valuable to the team cause.
In the latest issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week, former Springbok assistant coach Gary Gold gives his views on what sets the best fetchers apart from the rest and how an opensider's performance should be judged.
'Opensiders, especially the clever ones, tend to stay a step ahead,' Gold says. 'They know when to get involved at a ruck and when to bide their time. As defenders they can be very menacing and I'll admit that as coaches we do look for ways to take them out of the equation. I know for a fact that Heinrich is a nightmare to play against.'
Gold goes on to explain exactly what makes Brüssow so good, while the player himself chats about his two main rivals in world rugby – Richie McCaw and David Pocock – as well as his serious knee injury in 2010.
Also in the new issue:
– Having taken his opportunity in the Currie Cup, 19-year-old Johan Goosen is ready to test himself on the Super Rugby stage
– Sharks flank Marcell Coetzee missed out on Craven Week because he went to an unfashionable rugby school. Now he's living his dream
– Lions fullback Jaco Taute can put himself into Springbok contention this season by taking his game to the next level
– Change has been the order of the day at the Chiefs where new coach Dave Rennie will try to help a team of baby faces grow into something special in 2012
– How the Rebels signed two of the biggest names in the game
– Sanzar CEO Greg Peters on player welfare, Super Rugby expansion, and his expectations for Argentina in the Rugby Championship
– Kings coach Alan Solomons insists his side will be competitive in Super Rugby next year. We find out how
– Earl Rose tells SA Rugby magazine his side of the story
– The Varsity Cup's new points system has received mixed reviews
– Springbok Sevens coach Paul Treu wants to eliminate errors that cost his team dearly in Wellington and Las Vegas
– Everything you need to know about the new George Sevens Premier League
– Tobias Botes is the latest South African to play Test rugby for the Azzurri
– Joe van Niekerk is playing the best rugby of his career for Toulon

Great little magnets!
I was looking for a small, classy, "not too loud" type of magnet. These were exactly what I was looking for and they turned out great. Just a couple of thoughts... I personalized them with a different color for the design and date and it came out a little on the light side, so you might consider making it a bit darker than what you think you need. Also, the font comes out very small if you include a long web address on the magnets. It's still easily read, but be tough on some older eyes.
Recieved my Save-The-Dates and Invitations very quickly! They are wonderful! They are exactly how they are portrayed on the website! Thank you so much magnetstreet.com!
exactly as it looks online
great price, easy to customize, and great quality. definitely getting our invites to match

While CBS has increased their order for episodes of Elementary, the network has decided to cut the episode order for Vegas from 22 to 21 installments.
Starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, Vegas debuted to a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 14.85 million viewers. Considering the star power and promotion behind the series, that was a disappointment. For the next two weeks, the numbers seemed to stabilize at a 2.0 demo rating and roughly 12 million viewers.
On October 23rd, CBS ordered a full season of episodes for both Vegas and Elementary. That night, Vegas dropped 20%, to a 1.6 rating. The next week popped up to a 1.7 and this week's went back down, to a 1.6 rating.
While the ratings have not been very good, CBS is apparently planning on sticking with Vegas for the rest of the season. If the numbers fall any further, it'll be interesting to see if they cut any more episodes.
What do you think? Do you like the Vegas TV series? Do you think the ratings will come back up?

A progressive and driving force behind Miami University's athletic department since his arrival in November of 2002, Brad Bates has been instrumental in not only upholding Miami's athletic tradition but also in ushering Miami athletics into the next generation of intercollegiate athletics.
Bates' unique vision of developing a Culture of Champions at Miami has made the RedHawk athletic program a model for all intercollegiate athletic programs. During the summer of 2011, Miami University met all the requirements for recertification as a member of Division I.
In 2011-12, Bates served as president of the 1A Athletic Directors Association.
Over the past 10 years, Bates has presided over a department that made back-to-back football bowl game appearances for the first time in nearly 30 years, while capturing conference championships in football, women's cross country, ice hockey, baseball, men's and women's basketball, volleyball, men's and women's swimming and diving, field hockey, soccer, tennis, softball and synchronized skating.
Miami has won the Reese Trophy and the Jacoby Trophy, all-sport awards presented annually to the MAC institution with the best all-around men's and women's sports programs.
In addition to the RedHawks' athletic success during his tenure, Bates has spearheaded efforts to improve the "athletic classrooms" in which Miami's student-athletes compete to rate among the best in the nation. Renovations to Yager Stadium continue, with plans for an indoor facility in the works. Already added to Yager are new stands on the east side, a state-of-the-art scoreboard, permanent lighting, the Cradle of Coaches Plaza and a FieldTurf playing surface.
Additionally, Miami unveiled several new and renovated facilities six years ago: a brand new softball field, a state-of-the-art ice hockey facility, and a renovated field hockey field that was upgraded with a new artificial turf surface and press box.
According to the 2011 Graduation Success Rate calculation, Miami's student-athletes' overall GSR is 89 percent, nine percent higher than the national rate. RedHawk female student-athletes combined for a nearly perfect GSR of 97 percent, while male student-athletes graded out at a highly respectable 83 percent. The GSR of seven different RedHawk teams--women's swimming (100%), women's basketball (100%), soccer (100%), softball (100%) and volleyball (100%), men's swimming and diving (96%) and football (86%)--rank at the top or tied for best among Mid-American Conference institutions. Other impressive rates were achieved by Miami field hockey (94%), women's cross country and track and field (92%), men's golf (89%), women's tennis (88%), men's cross country and track and field (84%) and men's basketball (82%). A six-year history of Miami University's graduate success rate shows that the general student body has remained steady at 94 percent for that period, just five percent higher than Miami's student-athletes. Miami's entire student body ranks among the upper echelon of the nation's public institutions of higher learning.
Bates, who came to Miami after 17 years at Vanderbilt University, achieved a doctorate in education at Vanderbilt in 1997. This followed the bachelor's and master's degrees he earned in education at the University of Michigan in 1981 and 1982. At Vanderbilt, along with overseeing the administration of all 15 sports, Bates, a Senior Associate A.D. when he departed, was highly involved in the department's budgetary, marketing, development, licensing and Title IX compliance decision-making.
Athletically, Bates was a walk-on defensive back for Michigan from 1977-81. He played for then-Wolverine head football coach Bo Schembechler, a 1951 Miami alumnus and member of Miami's legendary Cradle of Coaches. In his four years as a player, the Wolverines won three Big Ten Championships, posted a record of 37-11-0 and played in three Rose Bowls and a Gator Bowl.
Bates and his wife, Michele, reside in Oxford.

I am a level 11 warrior build in Skyrim and I was wondering what armor type I should use... I started out using light armor because I have a shield and I didn't want to be weighed down by heavy armor, but now I know that you can eventually make each armor weigh 0. I was thinking that maybe I should start using heavy armor now and that it would be a better choice in the long run. my light armor is 15 levels higher than my heavy armor now, but I only spent one point in it.
It honestly does not matter. It has been proven many times that any type of armor can actually max out the armor caps with just 1 or 2 perks in their respective armor trees depending on which armor you want to use (maxing out leather or iron takes a bit more perks/enchants than say daedric or dragon).
They really do give you the ability to play any way you want and to remain viable. The link above shows the minimum perks needed to max out each classification of armor so you can pick what you want to look like and aim for that end goal.
if you want to have little damage then just use heavy armor and the steed stone: fortify carry weight and your armor weighs nothing so like that you can use and train heavy armor without being slowed down.
or just level up more stamina and use a 2 health to 2 stamina ratio. it also depends if what weapons you use because two-handed does more damage but slows you down because of its weight.
Actually, the best armor with BASE armor dating is a full set of deathbrand armor, though it's light armor and you need DB dlc, not to mention you have to be level 36 to get the armor
I would use any kind; if you are leveled high enough as a werewolf, it won't matter.
If you choose heavy, I suggest using wolf armor. The helmet helps but what I really use is an enchanted hood, which keeps you from losing too much stamina while attacking.
The wolf armor is the best heavy armor you'll find — especially if you are a werewolf.

Maola Milk & Ice Cream Co. of New Bern recently received the most coveted award in its industry: Dairy Queen's Dairy of the Year.
This is the first time the company, which has been affiliated with Dairy Queen for 40 years and was founded in New Bern, has won the award.
Steve Nicoll, general manager of Maola Milk & Ice Cream Co., said it was an honor to be recognized as the Dairy of the Year during Dairy Queen's annual convention in Albuquerque, N.M. in October.
"It's a pretty prestigious award," Nicoll said. "It is the most coveted award presented by Dairy Queen. Our longstanding relationship with Dairy Queen has been a win-win for all involved, and we hope it continues for many more decades," Nicoll said.
Nicoll said the award was based on a lot of different criteria, including in-plant inspections, third-party inspections, quality testing, shelf life, taste, service and overall customer satisfaction.
"We are beyond excited about this recognition," Nicoll said in a statement. "Here at Maola we focus on providing the freshest products and delivering the best possible customer service. We know that in today's environment, going the extra mile for a customer means something, and this award proves that we're on the right track."
Maola has been an industry staple in New Bern since it was founded here in 1935 as an ice cream business. People in New Bern are used to seeing the tanker trucks carrying milk to the plant or freight trucks hauling product out of New Bern to all parts of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
Maola is now owned by the Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative, consisting of 1,500 dairy farmers from Pennsylvania to Georgia. More than 325 Maola workers are employed in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, Nicoll said
People in the three states are very familiar with the Maola products that include frozen treats, fresh milk, half and half, juices, eggnog, premium ice creams and whipping cream.
Nicoll said the company is proud to be the local, farmer-owned brand of choice for consumers.
"A lot of people who buy our products are friends, people we go to church with and work with here," he said.
Susan Moffat Thomas, executive director of Swiss Bear Downtown Development Corp., said she thought Maola receiving the award was "fantastic."
"Any time a local business receives outstanding recognition, particularly a business like Maola with such a constructive economic climate for the community, it's a great thing," Thomas said. "Maola has been here for years and it is a very important part of New Bern's economy. Congratulations on a job well done."
