Jayden Stockley thinks Bournemouth's current squad is the most accomplished group of players he has seen during his time at Dean Court.
Striker Stockley, 18, has been a part of the first-team squad for the last two-and-a-half years, and saw the Cherries reach the League One play-offs last term.
But he still believes this year's crop, who now lie two points off the top six, is even better.
"We're on the up. We've got the best squad we've had since I've been here and it's great to be involved in it," he told Press Association Sport.
"Years ago we had the transfer embargo and we were short of players, it was a small squad and everyone knew their place in the team.
"Now there's a real competition for places in the starting XI and everyone has to keep on their toes if they want to be playing every week. That can only be good for the club and I'm enjoying it."

Hubble refines distance to Pleiades star cluster SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE NEWS RELEASE Posted: June 6, 2004 Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have helped settle a mystery that has puzzled scientists concerning the exact distance to the famous nearby star cluster known as the Pleiades, or the Seven Sisters.
The mystery began in 1997, when the European Space Agency's satellite Hipparcos measured the distance to the Pleiades and found it is 10 percent closer to Earth than traditional estimates, which were based on comparing the Pleiades to nearby stars. If the Hipparcos measurements were correct, then the stars in the Pleiades are peculiar because they are fainter than Sun-like stars would be at that distance. This finding, if substantiated, would challenge our basic understanding of the structure of stars. But measurements made by the Hubble telescope's Fine Guidance Sensors show that the distance to the Pleiades is about 440 light-years from Earth, essentially the same as past distance estimates and differing from the Hipparcos results by more than 40 light-years. The Hubble results will be presented June 1 at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Denver, Colo. The new results agree with recent measurements made by astronomers at the California Institute of Technology and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, both in Pasadena, Calif. Those astronomers used interferometer measurements from Mt. Wilson and Palomar observatories in California, reporting that the star cluster is between 434 and 446 light-years from Earth. The discrepancy in the distance to the Pleiades is more than an arcane argument over details. Astronomers have only one direct means for gauging distances to stars, called the parallax method. With current telescopes, this method gives accurate results only for distances up to about 500 light-years. Distances beyond that limit must be determined by indirect methods, based on comparing the brightness of distant stars with those of nearer ones of the same type, and making the assumption that both objects have the same intrinsic, or true, brightness. Astronomers can thus build up a distance ladder, based on ever more-distant objects, ultimately leading to the use of supernovae as "standard candles" for the most distant reaches of the universe. "Reliance on the accuracy of the measurements of nearby objects is crucial to getting the distance ladder of the universe correct," said David Soderblom of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., and lead astronomer on the Hubble study. "The new Hubble result shows that the measurements made by Hipparcos contain a small, but significant, source of error that requires further exploration. New space missions are now being planned to carry out even more precise distance measurements out to greater distances." Soderblom and his team used Hubble's Fine Guidance Sensors to measure slight changes in the apparent positions of three stars within the cluster when viewed from different sides of Earth's orbit. Due to the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the position of a star in the Pleiades, will appear to shift relative to stars farther away. This effect, called parallax, can be used to calculate the distance to the star with simple geometry; a similar method of triangulation is used by surveyors to measure distances on Earth. Soderblom's team took its measurements six months apart over a 2 1/2-year period. Making these kinds of measurements of a star's movement is very difficult. The Fine Guidance Sensors are so precise that if the human eye had the same ability to measure small angles, it would be able to see a quarter 16,000 miles away. Hipparcos was the first space observatory to make precise measurements of the positions and motions of celestial objects. Before Hipparcos, astronomers determined the distances to stars like the Pleiades by measuring parallax with ground-based telescopes. Those observations were less precise because Earth's atmosphere distorts light from stars, limiting the telescopes' resolution. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), for NASA, under contract with the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). |

Video-games give you multiple lives. If only reality were so generous.
About this project
The life you live. The life you dream. The life you remember. "Plato's Reality Machine" is a feature film that explores the inner lives of six New Yorkers via three distinct perspectives.
Meet Kim, the bubbly blonde, at least that's the act. Charles, the nice guy who would rather hide in the past than face up to the present. Zoe, the dancer with a dark heart. Scott, the alpha male who isn't. Maggie, a fashion designer who can't seem to fashion a normal life. And Josie, the dapper artist, who needs everything to be in exactly the right place, and these days, everything is exactly NOT in its right place, which drives a guy like him crazy. The first part of the film follows all of them as they crash into each other in the giant blender that is New York City. In the process they challenge each other, confront each other, and, just maybe, change each other.
Each character is unique, each story is unique. And in the second part of the film each person will have their day in court, a chance to explain themselves, to tell you why they are the way the are. But are they telling the truth? Or is it just another game, a game like…
…"Platos' Reality Machine", the third part of the film. Join our video-game hero as he embarks on a quest to fight his way to the heart of Space Station Plato. He will only be able to make it there with the help of the mysterious Sophia, but whose side is she on anyway? Can he trust her? Should he? In the end, all may depend on that one word: trust.
Check out the video below for a "fly-through" of the animated video-game set, already under construction.
All of these three elements inform and comment on one another, all are a part of our characters' lives. The life they live. The life they dream. The life they remember.
As you can tell, this is a different kind of film. It mixes live action and animation, pop-art confessionals and deep drama. It is most definitely not like anything you've seen before. So if you want to be part of something unique, something groundbreaking, this is the film for you.
We have assembled an amazing team to make this film. In addition to writer/director Myles Sorensen, four producers with extensive backgrounds in the film industry will help realize the project: Owen Cooper, Clifford Fields, Padmini Narumanchi, and Christopher Vitale.
We have an exceptional actress already attached to play the role of Zoe: Trieste Kelly Dunn.
She was just in the breakout indie hit "Cold Weather", you may have also seen her in "United 93" and HBO's "Bored To Death". She was recently named one of the top 25 fresh new faces of independent film. Read more about her here:
Our cinematographer is Dagmar Weaver-Madsen. She just won the ASC Heritage award and was featured in Cinematography magazine.
Our animator is James C. Martin, a talented artist and expert in the IClone software we are using to create the animation.
The rest of our cast and crew is being assembled right now. We'll make sure to keep you updated as they fall into place.
So we do have a portion of the financing already in place, which we are using now to create the video-game animation, among other things.
Your contribution will go directly towards the actual FILM SHOOT in New York City this August. It will pay for a RED camera rental (RED is a professional cinema-grade camera that is not cheap to rent), lights/grip equipment, hiring crucial crew members, food, production insurance, locations fees and expenses.
If we go over our goal, the money will go towards key post-production costs like an online/color-grade/sound mix and HD master or 35mm print of the finished film.
The funds raised here are disbursed only if our campaign hits our target of $9750 within 30 days. If we fall one dollar short, we don't get a dime. So help us spread the word! And thanks so much for your generous support. No donation is too small and all are GREATLY appreciated!

Pizza Oven by Pizzeria Pronto
You don't have to be a vegetarian to love this meat-free twist on the classic French dish coq au vin (chicken and mushrooms simmered in a red-wine sauce). Serve with whole-wheat egg noodles and sautéed spinach.
- 7 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
- 1 medium carrot, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 1 clove clove garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light- to medium-bodied red wine, such as Beaujolais Nouveau, Merlot or Pinot Noir
- 1 teaspoon butter
Drain, rinse and pat tofu dry; cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook in a single layer, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes total. Transfer the tofu to a shallow dish big enough to fit it in one layer. Sprinkle with the vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; gently toss to combine.
Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the onions, carrot, garlic and bay leaf; cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring, until they release their liquid, 3 to 5 minutes more. Sprinkle the vegetables with flour; stir to coat.
Add the wine, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, stirring, until the wine has reduced slightly and the sauce has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes more. Return the tofu to the pan, add butter and stir until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

What is a food allergy? When you have a food allergy, your body thinks certain foods are trying to harm you. Your body fights back by setting off an allergic reaction. In most cases, the symptoms are mild—a rash, a stuffy nose, or an upset stomach.
Acupuncture The foundation of Chinese acupuncture is the belief in an energy force called Qi (pronounced 'chee'). This energy, or life force, circulates around the body through invisible channels called meridians.
LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK FAQs
LASIK Fees and Insurance
LASIK Eye Surgery LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery which corrects near sightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. This technology reshapes the cornea to improve vision and yields great results with most patients seeing 20/20 as quickly as 24 hours after the procedure.
There are multiple different types of scars that may appear on your skin for various reasons.
Many of these scars can be faded or reduced significantly under the care of Dr. Rahat Azfar, Patients Medical's highly trained dermatologist, using the latest technology, including
Occasionally scars enlarge spontaneously to form firm, smooth, hard growths called keloids. Keloids may be uncomfortable or itchy, and may be much larger than the original wound. While Keloids scars are usually just a cosmetic problem and never become malignant, they may be uncomfortable or cause embarrassment if they are in a visible location. Dr. Azfar may recommend laser scar removal or surgical removal, depending on the condition of the scar or keloid.
Traumatic scars form after injuries that leave jagged or rough wounds to heal, or major surgeries that require large incisions. These scars may appear puffy, uneven or may have discoloration for months or even years. These can often be improved by various cosmetic dermatology treatments including fractional laser resurfacing, which can fade the appearance and literally retexture the skin to make it look and feel smoother.
As wounds heal, scar tissue forms, which at first is often red and somewhat prominent. Over several months, a scar usually becomes flat and pale. If there is substantial tension on a wound, the healing area is remains thicker than usual. This is known as a hypertrophic scar. Hypertrophic scars can respond will to fractional laser resurfacing, which will even out the texture of the skin, making it smooth and virtually un-noticeable. Dr. Rahat Azfar, a highly trained dermatologist at Patients Medical, is able to assess and advise you on the best management for a problematic scar, with a wide variety of treatment modalities available for use.
Our job at Patients Medical is to listen, to connect the dots between a patient's medical history, symptoms, and their underlying causes. Patients Medical is a superb place for women and men to secure integrative and holistic health care from me or one of my colleagues.

Now it's time for the candidates in Douglas County Commissioner District 5 to answer a few questions. To help readers reach a more informed decision on Election Day, the Echo Press sent questionnaires to all the candidates who are running for Douglas County commissioner. The responses for the districts that held a primary on August 14, Districts 2, 3 and 4, have already been published.
To help readers reach a more informed decision on Election Day, the Echo Press sent questionnaires to all the candidates who are running for Douglas County commissioner. The responses for the districts that held a primary on August 14, Districts 2, 3 and 4, have already been published. The newspaper will now be printing the responses from the other two districts, beginning with the District 1 race between challenger Bonnie Huettl and incumbent Jerry Johnson. Candidates were limited to a 500-word response to five questions selected by the newspaper.
Wow, what a fair! Picture-perfect, sunny weather - not too hot, not too cold - helped boost attendance to the Douglas County Fair. But the turnout likely fell short of a record breaker. The numbers are still being tallied, but it appears the four-day total attendance will be up just slightly from last year's 45,000 - shy of the 50,000 the fair organizers were hoping for. But they're still very happy with how things went at the annual county gathering, which dates back to 1888. "Everybody was smiling this year - the vendors, the concessionaires, the fair-goers," said Dale Buchholz, secreta
Alexandria firefighters responded to two house fires within three blocks of each other in three days. The first fire happened at 520 5th Avenue East near Lake Street shortly before midnight on Friday. Alexandria police officers responded to the scene and found the outside of the home near the porch area engulfed in flames and smoke. The officers kicked down a door and rescued two people who were sleeping inside, a tenant, Jordan Palm, and his guest, Rachel Bones, according to Alexandria Fire Chief Jeff Karrow. The home, valued at about $120,000, is owned by David Prchal.
All three Douglas County commissioners survived Tuesday's primary election and will appear on the ballot this fall. If Tuesday's vote is any indication, they'll face stiff competition from their challengers. In the District 2 race, challenger James Stratton received the most votes, 315, followed by incumbent Norm Salto with 253. Jim Hafdal is out of the race after receiving 226 votes. Stratton was pleased with the results. "I feel the voters that turned out for the primary in District 2 were making a statement.
It's here! The time all you corn-dog devourers, thrill-ride seekers, 4-H exhibit lovers and arts-and-crafts appreciators have been looking forward to all year long. It's the Douglas County Fair. The fair kicked into action Thursday and will continue through Sunday, offering all kinds of family fun -- rides and games; musical entertainment; piggy races; senior spelling bee; dog, horse and rabbit shows; mutton bustin' rodeo; coin hunts; a Log Cabin Native American Cabin; contests for best aprons, quilts, flower arrangements and seed art; vintage car parade; demolition derby; tractor and truck
Changes may be made soon in the Alexandria's nuisance ordinance. At its meeting Monday night, the Alexandria City Council gave preliminary approval to an amendment that would allow the city to take quicker action against violators. City Attorney Tom Jacobson said the current ordinance gives violators 10 days to fix the problem while the changes would allow the city to take swift action, setting the time on the notice of violation, which is then posted, served or mailed. The changes were modeled at the League of Minnesota Cities' recommendations and the city of St.
With the primary election over, voters can now turn their attention to the general election - and those who are running in local school and city races. The filing period for those positions opened July 31 and closed Tuesday. There will be more than a few local races spicing up the election. The city of Alexandria will have a race for mayor. As announced earlier, Sara Carlson, who is currently serving as a city council member for Ward 2, is seeking the position and she will be opposed by Mark Pederson. Two other Alexandria City Council positions up for election are also being contested.
The final results are finally in for the primary election in Douglas County. Alexandria Ward 1, precinct 1 arrived at the courthouse a few minutes before 11 p.m. and all the votes have been counted. Charlie Meyer is the winner in District 4 and incumbent Paul C. Anderson also advanced but only by 28 votes. In the District 2 race, James Stratton and incumbent Norm Salto prevailed. As reported earlier, the winners in District 3 were incumbent Bev Bales and Jerry Rapp.
Garfield whooped it up Saturday during its annual Summer Celebration. The town was buzzing with activity - a pancake feed, citywide garage sales, parade, pork chop and corn dinner, beer garden, pie and ice cream social, kids' tractor pull and the always popular water ball fights that pitted fire departments throughout the area in a friendly competition to see who had the most accurate aim at blasting water at an overhead target. Rounding out the events were a bean bag tournament at City Park and a dance. Another big celebration over the weekend was the annual Rose City Threshing and Heritag

No. 7,055,190, and which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/091,963 claimed the benefit, under 35 U.S.C. � 119(e), of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/559,298 which was filed Apr. 2, 2004 and which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein. The present invention relates generally to a patient removal system for evacuating a patient during an emergency. More particularly, the present invention relates to a patient removal system for use with a patient support device such as a hospital bed. In nursing care, hospital care, and other patient care environments where a patient is given care while confined to a patient support device such as a hospital bed or stretcher, it is sometimes necessary to evacuate the patient from the area due to an emergency. During such an emergency, if the patient support device is movable via casters or the like, the entire patient support device, bed, stretcher, or the like may be mobilized with the patient on board in order to evacuate the area. However, on some occasions it would be easier or imperative to transport the patient without the support device. An example of such an occasion might be when the elevators are locked during a fire, and stairs must be used. Other occasions might be when the support device is secured or attached to the wall in some fashion, when there are numerous medical devices attached to the support device, when the support device doesn't have casters, or when the support device would not easily fit through the emergency escape path. The present invention comprises one or more of the features recited in the appended claims and/or the following features which, alone or in any combination, may comprise patentable subject matter. A system is provided for removing a patient from a patient support device having a mattress that is removable from the patient support device. The system may comprise a sleeve that is configured to encompass a portion of the mattress and a patient resting on the mattress. A tightener may be coupled to the sleeve to tighten the sleeve about the mattress and the patient supported on the mattress. A handle may be coupled to the tightener and may be movable to tighten the tightener. The tightener may be elastomeric, and may extend about some or all of the perimeter of the sleeve. The handle may be positioned adjacent the foot end of the sleeve. A cinch may also be coupled to the tightener for drawing the slack in the tightener. The system may further comprise a lifter which may be coupled to a patient support deck on the patient support device. The lifter may be pneumatic, inflatable, mechanical, or may be of any other construction capable of lifting a portion of the mattress away from the patient support deck. The lifter can be used to move a step-deck mattress relative to a patient support deck having a step-deck construction. The patient support deck may be able to tilt or move between a horizontal position and a reverse Trendelenburg position. In the reverse Trendelenburg position, the mattress may be more easily pulled away from the patient support deck. The patient removal system may comprise a transporter that is movable relative to the mattress. The transporter may be inflatable. The transporter may lift the patient relative to the mattress. The transporter may have runners that extend along its length. The runners may comprise elongated tubes. The runners may comprise inflatable bladders. The runners may have a plurality of air outlets. The transporter may have a compressed air source coupled thereto, or may have an air compressor coupled thereto. The transporter may have handles. The handles may be movable to actuate the inflation of the transporter. The transporter may comprise a sheet that is configured to wrap around the patient during transport. The sheet may also be tucked under the mattress when not in use. Additional features of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived. The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying drawings, in which: A patient removal system 10, as shown illustratively in Illustratively, a tightener 16 is coupled to a perimeter of the sleeve 12 to tighten the sleeve about the mattress 14. Tightener 16 extends along the sides and the closed end of sleeve 12. Tightener 16 is illustratively an elastomeric band or cord, however, it is within the scope of the disclosure to utilize a rope or any other material that can facilitate tightening the sleeve 12 about the mattress 14. Handles 18 are coupled to tightener 16 and are positioned at a foot end 20 of mattress 14. Handles 18 are gripped by a user and pulled in the direction indicated by arrows 22 to tighten tightener 16 and to constrict sleeve 12 around the patient and mattress 14. The constriction of sleeve 12 in this manner secures the patient firmly in place atop mattress 14. Furthermore, handles 18 may be used to lift foot end 20 of the mattress 14 off of a patient support device that is supporting the mattress 14 and to pull the mattress 14 with the patient thereon along a floor or down one of more flights of stairs. Although the illustrative embodiment of system 10 has two handles 18, it is within the scope of this disclosure to construct patient removal system 10 with more or less than two handles 18. The force imparted on the handles 18 in directions 22 by a caregiver maintains the tension on tightener 16 and maintains the constriction of sleeve 12 around the patient and mattress during transport. A cinch 24 may also be utilized in conjunction with tightener 16 to set the pre-activation tension or the post-activation tension on tightener 16 and the strands of fabric weave of sleeve 12. Cinch 24 is configured to retain a portion of tightener 16 when such a portion of tightener 16 is pulled through cinch 24 in the direction indicated by arrow 25. As can be seen in As shown in A patient removal system need not necessarily envelop a portion of the mattress, but rather, may be secured over a patient with straps that engage loops formed in the side of a mattress (not shown). A tightener and/or handles may still be provided and coupled to the straps for pulling the straps to secure the patient on the mattress for patient removal. In an alternative arrangement, shown in In yet another embodiment, as shown in Lifters 48 and 50, as seen in As can be seen in Flaps 58, 60 illustratively have a tucked-in, non-use position, shown in As can be seen in An alternative embodiment of a transporter 70 is shown in In another embodiment shown in The breakaway pneumatic hose assembly 84 is illustratively disposed between the patient support device frame 88 and the mattress 86, however, it is within the scope of the disclosure to position the hose assembly within or adjacent to the mattress 86, or within the patient support device frame 88. Accordingly, when mattress 86 is removed during a patient removal procedure, the breakaway system 84 separates, the check valve closes, and the mattress 86 remains substantially inflated as it is transported away with the patient. Breakaway pneumatic hose assembly 84 may be used in conjunction with any of the patient removal systems disclosed herein. In yet another embodiment shown in Illustratively, upon actuation of handles 94 by pulling, underlay 90 moves into a configuration forming a three-dimensional carrier that has a base 96 and walls 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103 and 104 as shown in The top edges of each of walls 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 are at a higher elevation than the upper surface of mattress 92 when underlay is in the carrier-forming configurations shown in Illustratively, underlay 90 may be formed of plastic, corrugated plastic, or a similar material having the strength to contain a patient during transport and to withstand transport of the patient and underlay. Illustratively, the underlay also supports mattress 92 during transport. Further illustratively, walls 99, 103 and base 96 may have flex lines 106 or score lines that can accommodate patient support devices that articulate or otherwise move into non-planar positions during normal operation, therefore requiring bending of the underlay. The use of corrugated material provides rigidity in one direction and more flexibility in another. As illustrated in While the devices disclosed herein are susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific exemplary embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and have herein been described in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims. There is a plurality of advantages of the present invention arising from the various features of the devices described herein. It will be noted that alternative embodiments of the patient removal system of the present invention may not include all of the features described yet still benefit from at least some of the advantages of such features. Those of ordinary skill in the art may readily devise their own implementations of a patient removal system that incorporate one or more of the features of the present invention and fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Hundreds of fever cases were reported the same time last year
This time last year, Health Department officials were grappling with a dengue outbreak in the district.
Last September, Madurai district witnessed an epidemic-like situation, especially in Melur block where hundreds of dengue positive cases were detected, and the grim situation worsened in many pockets the following month.
"We are now focusing on the preparedness of local bodies to prevent vector, water and airborne diseases based on past experience," S.Senthilkumar, Deputy Director of Health Services, Madurai district, told The Hindu on Tuesday.
A meeting to chalk out the district-level action plan was convened on September 4 at the behest of Collector L. Subramanian, who instructed the local bodies and health officials to work in tandem and create public awareness of how to prevent diseases through community participation.
Starting from September 16, preparatory meetings and rallies will be organised in all the 13 blocks in the district to prevent the possible outbreak of diseases in October in the wake of the monsoons.
"Since monsoon rains are expected from the first week of October, we have asked local bodies to be alert. If every house and its surroundings are clean, the job is half done," Mr.Senthilkumar noted.
Safe water storage, solid waste management, supply of chlorinated drinking water, garbage removal and prevention of mosquito breeding are key to combating dengue. Sanitary workers have been directed to clean overhead water tanks in rural areas, he said.T. John Victor, District Malaria Officer, said fever surveillance had been stepped up and Primary Health Centres put on alert.
