HOUSTON - Texas Southern University has suspended its marching band, the Ocean of Soul, as it investigates a report of a hazing incident, the school announced.
"The band has been suspended until further notice, including a cancellation of (Thursday night's) scheduled performance against Sam Houston State," said Eva Pickens, TSU's Associate Vice President for Communications.
"The hazing allegations are 'excessive paddling' and involves the trumpet section of the band," Pickens said.
The hazing report was made Wednesday night by a student not in the band to TSU officials, who immediately convened a meeting of university officials to address claims, the school said.
TSU police said they are investigating the situation by interviewing the band director, band staff and members of the band. TSU student affairs personnel will also take appropriate action.
"In an effort to educate its students about the dangers of hazing, the university presented multiple training and informational sessions to band members and other student organizations," a press release said. "While it is not known at this time how many students were involved in this incident, it is believed to involve one section of the band."
Students were disappointed.
"This is my first game and I was looking forward to experiencing the whole band thing," student Demetria Claybon said.
"Hazing is probably never going to stop but it's embarrassing. You usually see this with the fraternities and sororities, but the band is a reputable organization at our school and this is ridiculous," student DiDi Chiedu said.
Some students think not having a band will have an impact on the number of people who go to the football games.
"It's going to reduce game attendance," cheerleader Clayton Anderson said. "Cheerleaders have nothing to do in halftime shows."
TSU officials involved in the investigation include a vice president for student services, student compliance officers, human resources director, director of bands, general counsel, TSU law enforcement officials, and TSU's communications associate vice president.
The TSU marching band is one of the largest student organizations on campus.

The presenter paired a deep-side part and retro curls with fresh-faced, subtle makeup. "My daughter has the last word on my dress," said the mother of three. "She picked out everything, even my hair and makeup."
Clad in icy-gray Oscar de la Renta, the nominee paired a simple middle part chignon with demure makeup. "Amy wanted to channel the glamour of Hollywood Regency with a 60's vibe," said hairstylist Laini Reeves. "I decided on a texture middle part chignon that looked like it was thrown up with my hands." Reeves used two coats of Morrocanoil Volumizing Mousse in Adams's hair to get the texture she wanted. "I just twisted it up with my hands after putting the hair in a loose ponytail," she said.

Thread: Custom PvP Arena for [RPS]?
Custom PvP Arena for [RPS]?
What do people think about setting up a custom PvP arena for [RPS]? Would there be any interest in this?
I've been looking into the cost of doing this, and it's less than I thought. The ongoing cost works out as follows:
210 gems per week (if buying time tickets in packs of 5) -- equivalent to 7 gold per week at current gem prices
168 gems per week (if buying time tickets in packs of 20) -- equivalent to 5.5 gold per week at current gem prices.
There is an initial cost of 1600 gems (~55 gold) for the custom arena starter kit, but I'd be willing to front this myself if we wanted an arena. (I have some gold lying around and figure I may as well use it for the good of the guild.) You also get 30 days time with a new custom arena, so it would be a while before we had to pay any rent (as it were).
We don't really need gold for influence any more, so we could ask members to contribute to this instead. But maybe it's not fair to ask everyone to contribute to a PvP room when plenty of people don't PvP? As for logistics, we could buy time tickets in packs of 20 (for the discount) by getting everyone to contribute to the guild bank and then pooling the money.
Maybe the idea is redundant given that gunnars-hold.eu has a custom arena now -- but it would perhaps be nice to have a room that we're in charge of, can set rules in, and don't have to worry about CHvc etc chucking us out of. We could use it for practice, duelling, for our pvp nights...maybe the idea has legs.
Thoughts?GW2: Saphnabylni & co.
I am conflicted, I'm quite intruiged by the idea but also quite stingy with my in game money >.<
The main question would be how many people would use it on a regular basis?
First of all, that's a very generous and incredibly kind offer from you. Secondly, I am all for pimping the [RPS] mansion with additional toys, such a private arena would allow both players new to PvP and the more experienced bunch to get into sPvP and open up new training possibilities. It's a really lovely idea.
But! I don't like the way Arenanet has implemented Custom Arenas, especially the pricing model rubs me the wrong way. The customisation options are pretty limited and asking money for a feature that should have been in the game from the start (like arenas with different pre-sets) is quite shady in my view. Also, the arena time ticks down whether someone is using it or not. Therefore I am not very keen on throwing money/gold/effective playing time at the system in its current form. But that's just me.

I would love to and am in dire need of getting better at killing people (and in the game), but right now I am already struggling to find the time to do all the things I want to do. ;___;
TBH, as awesome as the idea sounds, I don't think we have enough activity to warrant such an investment. Quite a few times when I passed through the mists on my way to LA I checked the GH arena and it was empty.
What I'd propose is that we book the arena on the GH forum whenever we want privacy (such as a planned pvp event) and contribute to Visko's effort by buying some time tokens for the arena from guild contributions.[GW2] The Blackfyre clan: Aliss (Guardian) Alyss (Mesmer) Lyss (Engineer) and others.
That sounds like a good proposal. So we should shelve the custom arena idea until such time as (a) we have far more pvp activity or (b) the functionality of custom arenas becomes too good to pass up.GW2: Saphnabylni & co.

The Gaelic football rule that means a player cannot grab the ball if he is on the ground received some support from AFL coaches who met over dinner with AFL bosses Gillon McLachlan and Mike Fitzpatrick.
Under the rule – which has been floated in the past – a player cannot take possession if he goes to ground; he would be allowed only to knock it on.
A free kick would be paid against the player who took possession when he dived on the ball – without anyone tackling him.
This rule was raised informally in conversations between the 11 AFL coaches who had dinner at McLachlan's home in Melbourne on Monday. The AFL's general manager of football, Mark Evans, also attended.
The rule was discussed as part of a conversation about how congestion could be reduced and how the game could be made more attractive.
The AFL hierarchy was keen to hear the views of the 11 coaches – seven could not attend, including Paul Roos and Mark Thompson – on the state of the game and shape of the competition.
The Gaelic rule has been floated by former players, including Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy, as a means of reducing the congestion and pile-ons around the ball.
Sources said this potential rule received ''reasonable support'' at the dinner, without a concerted push from the coaches, in what was described as a wide-ranging ''brain-storming session''.
Arguably, penalising a player for taking the ball when he is on the ground would represent a significant change in how Australian football has traditionally been played.
The AFL has already devised measures that make it harder for a player to take possession when he is lying down or diving on the ball – such as paying a free kick for holding the ball against those who are on the ground and drag it in.
The sliding rule also encourages players to approach the ball without going to ground.
The coaches were also asked for their views on the holding the ball rule and umpiring, with the AFL having decided that it needs to clarify what constitutes ''prior opportunity''.
The coaches also discussed free agency, with some critical of the free agency system. A view was expressed that it had been detrimental to the competition, and some felt the draft/free agency system made it difficult for the lowly sides.
Carlton coach Mick Malthouse has been perhaps the fiercest critic of free agency, arguing it will lead to more players leaving lowly-placed sides and elect to play for teams that are in premiership contention.
Roos (Melbourne) and Thompson (Essendon) were unable to attend the dinner due to their Fox Footy television commitment on Monday, while interstate coaches Ross Lyon (Fremantle), Adam Simpson (West Coast), Ken Hinkley (Port Adelaide), Justin Leppitsch (Brisbane Lions) and John Longmire (Sydney) were unable to make the trip.

You are getting an error along the following lines when running a custom component for LiveCycle ES and ES2:
even though you know for sure that AChild is a child or implementor of AParent – for instance:
"com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.client.query.TaskRowImpl cannot be cast to com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.dsc.client.query.TaskRow"
-You have included the JAR files from LiveCycle's deployment directories into your component JAR
-If you remove the Adobe JAR from your Custom Component's JAR, you get a ClassDefNotFoundError.
-Remove the Adobe JARs from your custom component's JAR
-Modify your component XML and add
This puzzling problem is to do simply with how different class loaders interact. To abstract over any proper LiveCycle classes, I will be talking about a fictitious Pan class.
# 1) About class loaders
A Pan is not a Pan when you have two different definitions of a Pan.
When you load a class called Pan with one class loader, and you load it again with a different class loader, they are different definitions in memory of a Pan.
So when you try to assign [a Pan instance from the first class loader] to [a Pan variable defined by the second class loader], the JVM will not match them up as being the same type of Pan – and you will get the unexpected ClassCastException.
-When the JVM is started, it uses a class loader to start loading all the classes it needs, along with the web application server.
-When the app server starts loading LiveCycle, it creates several class loaders – one for each EAR, for example; and within the EARs, one for each WAR, etc.
-Many different components are loaded by many different class loaders
When you deploy your custom component, it gets loaded by its own class loader. Here's where it gets tricky.
# 2) Delegating class loaders
If you ask LiveCycle to give you a Pan via some API call, it will give you a Pan that one of its class loaders defined. When in your code you declare a variable to hold that Pan, you're using your class loader's Pan definition. A definition clash ensues.
Obviously you don't want to load your own Pan when LiveCycle already has a definition for a Pan – remove the Adobe JARs that you included with your custom component. If you run the project now, you may get a ClassDefNotFoundError. Why?
If your class loader could not find a Pan of its own, it delegates finding the Pan up to the class loader that loaded it – the parent class loader. The parent class loader will ask your class loader what packages it needs to look in – this is specified in your component XML under the
At this point, either one of two things can happen:
-if you specified a package in component XML that contains the Pan you seek, that class definition will be passed back to your class loader.
-if you did not specify a package containing the Pan you seek, NoClassDefFoundError will be thrown.

A PRIMARY school looks set to become an academy after Ofsted inspectors found it 'required improvement'.
St Luke and St Philips CofE in Blackburn has been approved to become an academy with the conversion expected by April.
The school has already been included in a new Government report by Michael Gove's department that says the academisation process is improving standards nationally.
The report also features Pendle Primary Academy, formerly Walter Street Primary School, which the Department of Education expects to show better results this year.
However, unions claim the Department for Education is 'claiming credit' for changes that were already happening.
The Government report said the two schools were among 645 under-performing primaries nationally that are now under the wing of academy sponsors and doing well.
The Blackburn Church of England Diocese said St Luke's sought academy status after the disappointing Ofsted report last February. It will now change from a CofE maintained school to a CofE academy.
Deputy director of education at the diocese Fred Kershaw said: "They were not performing very well but have improved significantly. The governors willingly sought out academy status as the best way forward."
Pendle Primary Academy said standards had risen since becoming an academy in March. The school also said they were enjoying more popularity as their numbers have surged from 360 to in excess of 400.
Headteacher Julie Burnside said: "We have seen everyone, including parents, become very positive about the school. Standards are going up and we expect to see a good outcome this year." Where results were available in the DfE report, sponsored academies had improved their performance by three percentage points, against an improvement in all schools of one percentage point.
Relating to Pendle Primary and St Luke and St Philips, a DfE spokesman said: "These two schools are too recent for current figures, but we'd expect to see improvement within the first year."
However the 'successes' were disputed by Simon Jones, Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen NUT representative.
He said: "The Government is claiming credit for improvements that would have happened anyway. The same thing is happening with Darwen Vale. They are in academy talks, yet their exam results are already really good."

A year ago, the Hammerheads finished 10-7-7 with 37 points before a strong postseason run.
Throughout the preseason, the Wilmington Hammerheads have insisted the ir 2013 squad can surpass last year's team, which lost in the USL Pro championship game 1-0 at Charleston.
A year ago, the Hammerheads finished 10-7-7 with 37 points before a strong postseason run. That regular-season inconsistency led to seeking out what they consider is an upgrade in talent.
This year, after a month of training and 6-1-1 exhibition record, the Hammerheads are anxious to put those new players on display in the regular-season opener with Antigua Barracuda FC at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Legion Stadium.
"I think we have a little more flair and speed,'' veteran Hammerheads coach David Irving said. "But the proof is in the pudding.''
He is mindful of the game's ups and downs and has to look no further than last year, when the team went 8-1-3 at home, but finished 2-6-4 on the road.
"It is a difficult league to win on the road, but we have a different group than last year,'' Irving said.
Roster tested early
In the next-to-last preseason game, the team suffered a setback when forward Cody Arnoux suffered a strained hamstring, sidelining him several games in April, perhaps early May.
Arnoux, the former New Hanover High School standout, had a fabulous preseason, including a hat trick in a victory over Elon.
"He looked so sharp,'' teammate Will Heaney said. "He was magnificent.''
Without Arnoux and Daniel Roberts, out for at least six weeks with a torn hamstring, the Hammerheads' depth and skill will be tested early.
"Cody's injury is one you cannot mess with it,'' Irving said. "To get it to heal properly, I'd rather have him off two or three weeks than come back too soon and tear it and he is out for the season. It is disappointing because he looked very sharp and ready to go.''
Despite the injuries, Heaney has a good feeling about the season and he bases part of the optimism on better team chemistry.
"We also have a lot of bigger guys this year, so we will be a lot tougher,'' Heaney said.
Irving cited overall speed, especially with defenders. He believes the team is quicker at the back end and will play at a better pace.
"That was an area I felt needed to be addressed, but using that speed and pace and athleticism the right way is key in getting the right results,'' Irving said.
Defender Gareth Evans, back for his third season in Wilmington, mentioned forwards Richard Isberner and Kyle Greig and defender Jamel Wallace among difference makers.
"We have a deeper and better squad this year,'' said Evans, in his third season with the Hammerheads. "We have so many back-to-back games, we are going to need everyone on this team.''
Starting from the back
Despite not taking the field yet, the Hammerheads already are playing catch up. Along with Dayton, they are the only teams in the league to have not played yet. Antigua is 0-1, while four teams already have played at least three games.
To even things out, the Hammerheads play four games in the next 14 days, including two games in three days beginning April 26 at the Los Angeles Blues (3-1, 9 points) and April 28 at the first-year Phoenix FC Wolves (1-3).
"It is important to get off a good start,'' Heaney said. "Hopefully we can be one game better at the end of the year than we were last year.''
Midfielder Paul Nicholson, another returning player, shares similar hopes, but with a different viewpoint.
"What will help us is we have more versatility with our depth,'' he said.
"There are a lot of players who can play various positions. Some can play two or three or four positions. That ought to help us be better on the road.''
"It is a good group of players on the bench and they can play different positions. And I think there is not much difference between the starters and the bench.''

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy (say "lap-uh-ROSS-kuh-pee") is surgery that is done through small cuts (incisions) in your belly.
To do this type of surgery, a doctor puts a lighted tube, or scope, and other surgical tools through small incisions in your belly. The doctor can take out organs such as the spleen, the gallbladder, the appendix, an ovary, a fallopian tube, or part of the intestine during laparoscopy. He or she can repair a hernia or take out small tumors, cysts, or other growths. The doctor also can use laparoscopy to close a woman's fallopian tubes (tubal ligation).
In laparoscopy, recovery is usually less painful and faster than in surgery done through one large cut (called open surgery). You may also spend less time in the hospital and away from work and other activities.
Laparoscopy may cost less than open surgery. But sometimes laparoscopy takes longer, or your doctor needs to switch from doing a laparoscopy to doing an open surgery.
Typically laparoscopy leaves several scars about half an inch long. These scars fade with time.

5 Healthiest Restaurant Kids' Mealsby Toby Amidor in Dining Out, April 3, 2012
Trying to feed your kids healthy options when dining out can be stressful. Most restaurants offer the usual chicken fingers, mac and cheese, hamburger with fries or grilled cheese, but the calories, fat and sodium on these items is through the roof. Here are the healthiest options we found at popular restaurants.
The grilled chicken is the way to go at Chili's. You can order the Grilled Chicken Platter, which has 160 calories, 3.5 grams of fat and 170 milligrams of sodium or the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with 230 calories, 5 grams of fat and 230 milligrams of sodium. Add a side of celery sticks with ranch dressing for an additional 80 calories, steamed broccoli for 30 calories or mandarin oranges or pineapple for 35 calories.
Macaroni Grill
Grilled Chicken and Pasta is the healthiest kid's option at this Italian eatery. This dish has 350 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 5 grams of fiber. The sodium, however, is high with 840 milligrams so it should be a once-in-a-while treat.
Red Lobster
Some of the healthier options include Broiled Fish with 200 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 350 milligrams of sodium or the Garlic Grilled Fish with 60 calories, 1 gram of fat and 580 milligrams of sodium. Good accompaniments are the fresh broccoli with 45 calories, garden salad with 90 calories or fruit with 40 calories.
The healthiest fare here is the Chicken with Broccoli with 260 calories, 5 grams of fat and 540 milligrams of sodium. Ice cream is the main attraction at this joint; be sure to limit dessert to 1 scoop with 1 topping or have the kids share a larger treat.
Panera Bread
Although the deli sandwiches may be tempting, they have over 1,000 milligrams of sodium each. Instead, opt for the PB&J sandwich with 410 calories, 18 grams of fat (mostly unsaturated) and 550 milligrams of sodium.

14 October 2009
Updated 3:05 PM October 15- Charles Wang put the rumors to rest this morning telling Newsday's Eden Lankin that the Project has not been abandoned. He also released this statement:
As far as the status of the Lighthouse project, we have submitted to The Town of Hempstead and Supervisor Kate Murray all the studies and required documents. A lease has been negotiated. Supervisor Murray and the Town Board need to make a decision on the zoning.
Updated 11:45- Lost in all the ranting and raving was a piece on the Spin Cycle found by Michael Schuerlein aka Islesblogger. The Newsday Piece while re-stating the facts of the LI Press piece, comes up with a source of their own "close" to the Developer who says the project has not been abandoned. Note this article was posted at 10:13 pm
Update 10:44 PM - After Emailing the Long Island Press they finally responded. How do they explain beating out ever major newspaper on Long Island? "Right place at the right time, Christian," the Long Island Press responded. I also asked how high their source was, that i never got an answer to.
Updated 10:15 PM-B.D Gallof is reporting per his source that the Lighthouse Project is meeting right now. He also feels the Long Island Press story and source are not telling the whole story and is advising not to buy into the hype. For the full story Click Here. Also Chris Botta will be on 1050 ESPN Radio in a matter of minutes.
Has the Lighthouse Project reached its end? according to the Long Island Press it has. The report, posted this afternoon says that "the ambitious Lighthouse Project has already been abandoned internally by New York Islanders team owner Charles Wang."
"The source has also indicated that reorganization has already begun within Wang's company, reassigning some top-level executives who have been key members of the Lighthouse initiative to work on other unrelated projects." All of this coming from unidentified sources somehow involved in this projects. The LIP's source gave lack of financing as the reason, a shaky one at that.
Islanders Point Blank's Chris Botta Tried contacting the Lighthouse Development Group, but his call have gone unanswered. Although it seems they have spoke with no news media outlets. Same goes for Town of Hempstead officials and the people at RXR.
Some have already started to speculate on twitter about the sources authenticity and Sean Leahy of Puck Daddy speculates it could just be another move to get the Town to approve the project.
This odd turn of events comes the same day Newsday ran an article about the majority of Long Islanders who support the Lighthouse. The Poll showed 51% of LIers backed the project due the taxes it could raise along with the jobs it comes with. That was a major moral boost for Lighthouse supporters and the first Lighthouse article since the Islanders season opener/ Deadline of certainty. The LI press article now has many pondering "how real is this?" No one knows for sure right now, but we'll keep all our readers posted on any further developments.

Hot Dog Legs Blog Pokes Fun at Beachgoers
Ladies, I'm pretty sure we've all done it at some point or another.
Sitting on the beach, you take a photo and capture your sandy, sun-kissed thighs.
We always thought those photos were a little flirty, a little sexy...until one blogger realized those legs look a lot like another familiar summertime sight.

COUNTY — According to the Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health
Authorities, it is estimated that over 1.1 million or one in 10 Ohioans
are addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs. Additionally, in the period
from 1979 to 2012, prescription drugs led to a larger overdose epidemic
than illicit drugs. The Ohio Department of Health reported that in 2012,
five Ohioans died ever day from an unintentional drug overdose. That's
one every five hours.
People take prescribed opioid medications to
combat pain, severe coughing and other health problems. Tolerance and
dependence are common side effects of prescribed opioid medication.
Tolerance and dependence also occur in people who abuse medications or
take heroin. Over time, they need to take opioids just to feel normal
because the substance has made changes to their brain. The Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration documented opioid
addiction as a chronic disease, one that's a permanent condition, but
one that can be managed. Help usually includes, counseling and
medication-assisted treatment, also called drug replacement therapy,
using methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone and
buprenorphine trick the brain into thinking it is still getting the
problem opioid. Naltrexone blocks the effect of opioid drugs.
counseling/replacement combo is generally considered the best way to
treat opiate addiction. Aaron Baumgartner, Executive Director of
Pathways Counseling Center, Ottawa, confirmed that, currently, best
practices for opiate addiction include some form of medication assisted
treatment (MAT) along with outpatient services. Yet funding and
treatment aren't so easy to come by.
"Currently the State of Ohio
is holding resources for Counties," said Mike Ruhe, Executive Director
of the Mental Heatlh, Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Board of
Putnam County.
The Ohio Department of Mental Health &
Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) administers two separate federal block
grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA). The Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment
Block Grant (approximately $62.6 million) is a major funder of addiction
prevention and treatment services in Ohio. According to the OhioMHAS,
Putnam County will receive a total of $87,436 in SAPT funding in 2015.
Community Mental Health Block Grant (approximately $14 million)
provides funding to ADAMH/CMH (Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental
Health/Community Mental Health) Boards for recovery supports, as well as
treatment services for low income persons without Medicaid or other
insurance. Putnam County does not appear on the CMH allocation report
for 2015.
In 2015, OhioMHAS has set aside Continuum of Care funds
for community methodone therapy programs in eight counties, the closest
of which is in Lucas County.
"We have submitted a regionalized
plan for approximately 14 counties," said Ruhe. "Basically it is up to
the state what resources will be spent where. So far we have received
Last year, 23 out of the 850 Pathways clients had a primary diagnosis of some kind of opiate issue.
have been given no additional dollars to increase our (very expensive)
psychiatric time," said Baumgartner. "Furthermore, we currently contract
with Blanchard Valley Hospital for the doctor's hours and we have been
told that there is no more time available. The opiate clients, like all
other clients, must still wait three months to see the psychiatrist. The
issue that compounds this treatment plan is this: we currently know of
no family doctors in the county who practice MAT for opiate addiction
(we're checking on this). Opiate clients can receive outpatient services
from us in a matter of days but MAT with our doctor is not available
for three months from their assessment."
Because of this, Putnam
County is considering looking into several means to remedy the barrier
between treatment for opiate addiction and Putnam County residents and
their families seeking help.
Next week: Putnam County works to cut down the wait time for opioid addiction services.

The former cruise ship The Duke of Lancaster sits in it's dry dock adorned with graffiti in Flint, Wales. The ship locally known as the fun ship has been decorated by international street artists. The art project is organised by a local group named Dudug. Artists have travelled across Europe to put their own style of graffiti on the 1950′s ship. It is hoped that in the future the ship and it's dock will become a haven for outdoor sculpture and street art.

Apple's new devices always come with power cord. For those who doesn't like it, don't buy it. It's that simple.
Ok I think this is really a stupid idea of apple if they gunna do this cuz then how u gunna use your docks/music systems with the iPhone? Your going to have to buy another one. It's gunna be a pain for costomers and the factory's that build the docks and music system but they could buy the adapter but that would still take a few bucks
I think it should be provided for free. Any accessory of an iDevice should be compatible with newer devices and if changes are made that should be accomodated by Apple. It's ridiculous but I know that Apple will for sure sell it separately. It's stupid we can't use our older accessories for a newer device like it has been since the beginning of iDevices without an adapter. We bought Apple's products before, we bought accessories for Apple products before, why the heck shouldn't we get an adapter for free. Oh well, that's Apple for ya.
Its funny to read all the comments above. Everyone seems to be taking this so seriously. Common people, this is just a rumor. Nobody but apple knows what the new iPhone will look like much less weather or not it uses a new cable or not. And if it does who cares.

For many people coping with an incurable illness, the chance to end their days in the comfort of their own homes is priceless. MARION SAUVEBOIS meets the dedicated carers whose unstinting work makes this happen
DAY and night without fail a team of nurses is on call to treat and alleviate the pain of patients reaching the end of their battle with incurable illness.
Prospect@Home staff allow sufferers to spend their final moments in the familiar and comforting setting of their own homes, surrounded by their families and shrouded in fond and reassuring memories.
Manned by nurses and health professionals, it was launched in 2008 after the generosity of Adver readers allowed the hospice to raise £250,000 towards the much-needed service.
Up until then, patients with no nightly home care available from the charity had no choice but to be hospitalised to stabilise their increasingly debilitating catalogue of symptoms.
Prospect@Home is a crutch and offers welcome respite to often exhausted carers and relatives for up to 24 hours a day.
Prospect at home team, left to right,staff nurses Jan Czerniak, Hayley Kenealy, health care assistant Julie Ward and Prospect at home team leader Jane Green
Crucially its team of committed nurses helps families alarmed at the prospect of caring for someone with complex medical needs and no notion how by shouldering the burden with them.
"A lot of people prefer to stay at home, "said Jane Green, Prospect@Home team leader. "But before 2008, the hospice did not have nurses that could look after patients for a length of time at home. It was a service that was really needed and it's growing.
"We look after them on a practical level and offer emotional support. Patients are nursed in bed, we help them bathe and we do everything the hospice's in-patient service would do but at home.
"It means that patients are where they want to be and that families get the support they need so they can be the best carers they can be because it's very hard to care for somebody at home. It allows the carers to recharge and sustain them. We feel really lucky to be doing this sort of work."
The 20-strong team spend around 9,000 hours each year caring for terminally-ill residents at home. They are currently supporting 25 people, some with fast-deteriorating conditions.
More than medical staff, nurses are a friendly and reassuring presence for everyone involved and soon become an integral part of the family dynamic.
"What we do makes a huge impact," said staff nurse Hayley Kenealy. "It gives them reassurance especially at night. Everything is a lot worse at night, emotions get heightened.
"We allow the families to get a good night's sleep. But sometimes the families stay up and want to chat with us."
Her colleague Jan Czerniak added: "Families are afraid of the unknown. They often feel more confident once they have seen us dealing with certain situations. They feel like they can do it too. We deal with patients medically but there is a lot of emotional and psychological support involved."
Learning to cope with the inevitability of each patient's death demands great resilience but mostly a strong belief in the importance of their work for hundreds of patients and families thrown in the deep end and at a loss to keep their heads above water.
"You build trust and a relationship with patients and their family and it's a privilege and an honour to meet them and help them," said health care assistant Julie Ward. "We are touched by everybody we look after. We all feel pride."

The mountains in Limpopo are highly regarded for their walking and hiking trails, which take in a diverse range of fauna and flora, while affording hikers the most awesome views.
The Soutpansberg are the most northern mountains of Limpopo, so named for the salt pans that lie in their foothills to the west. The range stretches 130km across the top of the province and at its highest points, is more than 1 500m above sea level. Its highest peaks include Hangklip at 2 550m high and Lejuma at 1 753m.
These mountains are rich in historical and natural heritage, boasting numerous rock art sites and an unspoilt wilderness that includes more than 500 tree species and 467 bird species. The Soutpansberg Hiking Trail is a two-night trail that features the best of this magnificent range.
The Waterberg is another dominant Limpopo mountain range. It stretches 150km in an arc to the south and is part of the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere Reserve. It includes an impressive array of natural features, from forests to waterfalls.
There is a plethora of hiking and backpacking trails that meander through this stunning range, all of varying difficulty and requiring different fitness levels. Make sure you do the Taaibos trail near Vaalwater with its fascinating rock formations and breathtaking views.
The smaller, but not in any way less beautiful, mountains of Blouberg, Wolkberg and Magoebaskloof also provide for a variety of trails for both experienced and novice hikers. Magoebaskloof is particularly pretty, with fantastic mountain scenery that includes majestic waterfalls, dense indigenous forests, rivers, streams and private rock pools.

THE FUTURE of a multi-million pound surfing lake in Almondsbury and Easter Compton will be decided this week.
Councillors will vote on proposals at the South Gloucestershire Council planning meeting on Thursday, June 19.
It has been recommended for approval by planning officers.
The Wave: Bristol hope to create a £6.2 million in-land surfing experience on land at Over Court Farm in Almondsbury and Washingpool Farm in Easter Compton.
As well as the 300m by 100m freshwater lake, an adventure trail, swimming pool, camping area with 100 pitches, amphitheatre and education centre are planned for the 40-acre site.
Surfers of all abilities will be able to use the lake, which will be able to generate waves up to 1.6m high at a frequency of 120 an hour.
Consultation events ran in July and November last year, where opinion was split between keen supporters of the scheme and villagers concerned about associated traffic.
Hundreds of surfers around the country have supported the plans online, but many residents remain worried about the impact of the development on local life.
Easter Compton resident Gary Phipps said: "The road nowadays is extremely busy and going to get busier with Wild Place, developments at Pilning and Severnside plus the extensive new housing at Filton airfield.
"As well as being extremely busy there are issues with speeding and heavy lorries, all of which contribute to making village life unpleasant."
David Haines, also of Easter Compton, said the application was inappropriate and disproportionate to the village.
"The main road into Easter Compton will become even more clogged with traffic.
"Easter Compton is a small village with few amenities," he said.
At the second-stage November exhibition, The Wave founders said that they planned to alleviate congestion by ensuring the 120 parking spaces on site had to be pre-booked.
A shuttle service is also planned from Pilning train station – with additional services mooted for Cribbs Causeway shopping centre in the future.
Damian Phillips, of Olveston, backed the plans, saying: "I think any new sports facility is a good idea. Positioned near to already developed sites with good roads and infrastructure, this project deserves the council's full support."
Kieran Manning, who teaches paddlesports in Thornbury and participates in Thornbury Sea Cadet Corps, said: "With a lack of safe water in our local area for watersports, this would be an excellent place to encourage people into the sport."
Brimsham Green School has also supported The Wave for offering their students an exciting new facility for physical education on their doorstep.
The meeting is taking place at Turnberrie's Community Centre in Thornbury at 2.30pm.

Hi, I'm stuck in a debate, trying to confirm the semantically correct HTML element, in HTML5 which holds all of an HTML pages main content... EG: every page usually has a , ,  and ... But what is the correct element that should contain ALL of your content ???
It's driving me nuts, I can't seam to find a definitive answer....
Welcome to HTML5.
what is the correct element that should contain ALL of your content?
The  element.
HTML5 is still in development and constantly evolving, and no one seems to be be very clear on what it's all about. (I say this because—possibly like you—I emerge from reading about it more confused and none the wiser than when I started.) My suggestion is that you leave it alone until it's actually ready for the real world ... and even then think twice. :lol: (For mine, HTML5 is ruining the simplicity and logic of HTML ... but maybe I'm just a fogey.)
Presumably the answer to your question is
, but to be honest, I don't really care enough to check.
It depends on what it is.
There's a lot of debate on this, but I like to use
 for anything that couldn't pass as an article.
So for main page content, I'd say
 is your best bet.
Just remember that if you have a wrapper element, that is purely for styling purposes and should therefore be a
. Anything that exists only for styles and adds nothing to the content should be a generic element (div or span)
"Conan, what is best in life?"
The  element. and of course "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of the women"The body element has ALWAYS ( not just in HTML5 been the default container element ( tho I suppose technically The HTML element is the ROOT element of a page)
If you are adding HOOKS FOR CSS , which have no semantic meaning, using a DIV would be appropriate. But as we know we shouldn't add hooks unless absolutely necessary.
so something like :

some link

would justifiably bring about the wrath of deathshadow60!
NOWIf you werent talking about ALL your HTML and just what your main content is. you could consider SECTION/ ARTICLES as recursive semantic elements

 links?
Keep in mind you dont need to SECTION everything... that would be akin to divitis.that is the GENERAL GIST. Again the CONTENT and ITS MEANING determine on an individual case what is semantically correct.
I would think section but I haven't used those elements for any projects so…
I normally just wrap all the "main-content" in a div with an id of main-content considering that area is always an important part of the page which generally needs to isolated or have items selected relative to it with CSS.
I tend to disagree because I always seem to have to isolate things like the masthead, content area, main content area, any sidebars and footers. Having those components wrapped in a containing div results in much less convoluted CSS. Of course I'm not saying go crazy with it but it is pretty much guaranteed that those layout regions will need to have hooks for styling purposes. The only websites where is has been different are dedicated mobile ones where the layout doesn't have things like sidebars. The "main content" area is generally the same as the content area.
The others above answered THIS question, but the one in your thread title seems to be a different one.
HTML5 does not have a  tag. They left this out, according to Bruce Lawson, because they could get away with the Scooby-Do rule: anything that's not the main page header, nav, contentinfo, aside, or complementary... must be the main content. So, the HTML5 document outline assumes as such, regardless of whether you use a div, section, article, or whatever (though section and article themselves become part of the document outline, so in that case the outline will assume a "main" around those elements if they don't fit any of the other top-level block types).
You can help things using ARIA landmark roles though. You can also use them for CSS styling if you're not worried about IE6.

...

div[role=main] { style;}
There should only be one "main" role per HTML page.
I tend to disagree because I always seem to have to isolate things like the masthead, content area, main content area, any sidebars and footers.
Why? Aren't they isolated by the very fact that there is a "footer' or "header" , etc, tag? Any extra wrapping element is superfluous.. at most justified only as an extra hook for CSS
I was referring to HTML4.
Since the only elements that are restricted to one per document in a web page (HTML4 or HTML5) are , , <title> and ...
... and you wonder about ALL of the content ...
... it is.
The body element represents the main content of the document.
If we talk about sectioning elements of HTML5, specific sections like
,
, , ,  are just that: specific. As in: not containers, but sections. Which means you could have this:
which means none of
,
 or
 is a candidate for ALL of your content.
Ralph has it right -- if you're talking "all" your content, that's BODY's job.
Of course, if you're writing markup semantically with numbered headings and horizontal rules to mark the start of subsections properly, none of those HTML 5 tags serve any purpose... which is why if you are going to have extra tags as hooks to apply CSS to, you use DIV or SPAN -- since they do not alter the meaning of the content or the semantic tags you should already be using.
Which is why it's pathetic how people are now slapping ARTICLE around everything wrapped by SECTION -- for no good reason.
Which is why I consider HTML 5 to be pathetically useless nonsense designed to set web development BACK a decade or more -- it offers NO tangible benefits apart from letting the people who up until two years ago were sleazing out HTML 3.2 with a 4 tranny doctype on it, to slap the 5 lip service around their rubbish outdated code and call themselves "modern".
See the second code example in Dresden_Pheonix's post for everything WRONG with HTML 5.

Footer text

Anything else is a presentational hook, and that's DIV or SPAN's job. (that last DIV only being there to lip-service the 'no inline-level content' part of validation.
What makes the stuff in the sidebar be "articles?", why are they broken into sections when heading tags or horizontal rules already say you're starting a new section?
HTML 5 -- I STILL can't believe anyone is DUMB ENOUGH to want to use it.
HTML 5 -- I STILL can't believe anyone is DUMB ENOUGH to want to use it.
have you gone on craigslists or Monster or such looking for a developers job lately you better LOVE CSS3 and HTML5 ( including APIs)..lol It's clients that ask for this.
Personally, I thought it had promise but then something must have gone horribly wrong. NAV beign one of biggest "unfixable" let downs. It makes sense to have a NAV element instead of a UL .. but its bloat as a wrap.
Some of the other stuff simply gave, or attempts to give, semantic meaning to wrappers we were marking up with extra classes or IDs anyway.
The key is the THINKING , in most cases. If you DONT need the extra markup DONT use it.. and dont FORCE semantics on content that carries none. Really the errors you see in HTML5 are not a new phenomena , its the same as those from the DIVitis, era.. except now its SECTION and it's officially sanctioned...lol.
Because it's now just as sick a buzzword as "Web 2.0" was just a few years back, where everyone was using the term without even understanding what it meant. I consider it my job to inform those types of people that taking technical advice from the pages of Forbes is like taking financial advice from the pages of Popular Electronics.
Given it's purpose -- indicating a section of content that a user may want to skip in the page for not being content; in the most popular use -- at the top of a page to skip the menu and other stuff -- I thought that was a numbered heading (in this case H2) or horizontal rule's job to indicate where the next subsection starts... so it's entire PURPOSE was redundant! Especially since in USEFUL browsers like Opera I already HAVE that functionality on websites where people use headings properly!
If they just meant it as a replacement for UL, why not bring back the MENU tag that was deprecated in 4 STRICT? Which they did, for some completely different other purpose related to forms that I've been unable to get a straight answer from ANYONE on as to "why?"... At least that would say it's a menu, and not some uselessly vague term that applies to every anchor on the page!
Though I hate it right down to the name -- nav, navigation... every anchor on a website is 'navigation' making that vague and meaningless -- I thought class="nav" is uselessly vague BS every time I see it, who on earth thought it was a good idea for a tag?!? Herpaderp -- again why I think it's meant for the crowd who see nothing wrong with vague/pointless idiocy like "style.css", class="style-47", or
 -- you don't know what's wrong with those, do the world a favor and back the {expletive omitted} away from the keyboard.
Part of the laugh of people thinking all the tags that were deprecated in STRICT were for being 'presentational' -- NOT! Most of them were ditched for being vague and redundant. Vague and redundant? You mean like HTML 5? I'm looking forward to when 6 STRICT deprecates all these new structural tags as pointless.
Or even more semantics around things that already have it. See "HGROUP" for the pinnacle of HTML 5 stupidity in that department -- justifying the half-assed nonsensical practice of pairing sibling heading tags when not starting a section and subsection...

Site Title

/FAIL/ at even understanding the entire POINT of using numbered headings.... and even without HGROUP that's nonsensical BS.
... and TABLE before that -- as our dearly departed friend Dan used to say "the people who made endless nested tables for no reason moved on to make endless nested DIV, net improvement zero." -- to which I'd now append "and today just replace those div with pointless HTML 5 tags instead of leveraging the EXISTING semantics we've had since day one!"... Though should probably work the people abusing nested lists on obviously tabular data in that, like the dimwits making vBulletin themes.
Well, that and they seem to miss that the entire reason to use DIV is to NOT change the semantics since you already should have plenty! ... and that it starts to become micromanaging the meanings of every little element instead of actually letting the content itself do the talking. Perish the thought...
Bloated code is bloated code -- the difference being that before it was just wrong, now they're justifying bad practices as 'normal' with lame excuses and new tags... just part of why I say HTML 5 sets coding practices BACK a decade or more. Welcome to the pinnacle of the browser wars and HTML 3.2 -- all the lessons of which are now long lost.
I'm lawling at Red Green... you know he's invisible to the reg-green colour-blind? I keeed.
Application menus. Since HTML5 is meant to address HTML4's almost-total lack of application markup.
oh I had this long-@ss answer.. but my cell ated it. I hope you know I was agreeing with you DS60.. in almost everything but where the "blame" originated.

FRESHFORD United moved top of Trowbridge Windows & Conservatories, Trowbridge League, Division One table with a dominant 8-0 win against battling Calne Eagles, in a win which was inspired by a superb five-goal performance from veteran striker Steve Roddy.
Calne have found their debut season in first division football a very tough experience, but this has been made far worse by a catalogue of injuries that has left them extremely short on experience within the squad.
This week they also lost the services of their captain Stuart Windsor, who after five seasons of exceptional service, has moved to Calne Town. Indeed, Windsor marked his debut for his new club today with a goal in a 2-2 draw against Cribbs FC.
Roddy stole the show with a performance of quality that Calne simply could not match. After a seemingly comfortable start for the away side, they found themselves behind after 12 minutes when Mark Gerrish fired home an unstoppable shot from just inside the box.
Ten minutes later they fell further behind when Roddy finished well at the back post. Moments later Roddy scored his second from a brilliantly-taken free kick.
Just before half time, Roddy completed his hat-trick with another uncompromising finish. Despite continuing to battle gamely, Calne's punishment continued into the second half as Freshford continued to be clinical in their play.
Roddy added another two to his tally during the half. Ricky Trott and Nick Ross also got on the score sheet to complete the 8-0 score, which moved Freshford top of the table, ahead of North Bradley who were without a fixture.
Semington Magpies 0 Westbury United Reserves 5
SEMINGTON Magpies suffered their first loss in nine league outings after they were beaten 5-0 by a Westbury United Reserves side who dominated most of the game but before finding their shooting boots in a second period that saw them score all five of their goals to run out deserved winners.
Had it not been for keeper Ricky King's first-half heroics, Semington could have been dead and buried at the break but a string of fine saves kept his team in the game.
Semington managed to withstand a second half onslaught from Westbury but once Marc Lanfear made the breakthrough on 70 minutes the floodgates opened. Nick Taylor doubled Westbury's advantage before Ashley Easton knocked home number three to end any hopes of a Semington revival.
Westbury goalkeeper Alex Shaftoe added number four from the penalty spot and a second from Ashley Easton, also from the penalty spot wrapped up a victory for Jason Edwards' side that moved them from fifth to third in the standings as they leapfrogged their hosts who had started the game above them in the table.
Warminster Town Reserves 1 Lamb FC 1
A VASTLY-IMPROVED Warminster Town Reserves side, who were beaten 4-2 by the Lamb FC when they met earlier in the season showed just how far they have come on since that defeat by holding their guests at Weymouth Street to a 1-1 draw as they come from behind to claim a share of the spoils, but thanks to two late dismissals were almost undone at the death.
An evenly-matched contest saw Bradley Witham give Lamb their half-time lead. Matt Dyer replied for Warminster in the second period before they had James Collett and Shaun Sheppard sent off late on.
With Warminster done by two players, Lamb almost stole victory in the final couple of minutes, but they were saved by an untimely miss from Tom Blackman who really should have won it for his side but missed with an effort that looked easier to score as the game ended all-square.

Miley has good handlers and I'm doubtful she will merge her brand to the brand of a convicted person.
Cyndi Lauper was a person with 10 times the talent and she linked herself to Capt. Lou Albano in pro wrestling.....her career nosedived. The good news is her talent ruled and MANY years later she showed the world she had immense talent
Miley has no talent...this could be a career killer

HEAD coach Mike Ford reckons that his Bath squad are thriving off a healthy competition for places.
The Rec outfit have rung the changes for this week's Amlin Challenge Cup clashes against Newport Gwent Dragons and Bordeaux Bègles and Ford is keen to have as many top-class options at his disposal as he can.
International call-ups will take their toll on Ford's side during next month's Six Nations but Ford is hoping that he'll have a raft of willing replacements ready to maintain his side's impressive campaign so far.
"It's good to have strength in depth and there are four very important Premiership games during the Six Nations, so we need everyone to be as up to speed as they can be," said Ford.
"I'm not saying we're going to rotate every week but we need to figure out in training how we can get everyone ready to play.
"It's always good to keep layering the belief in the players, belief in the organisation and belief in us coaches that we have got that strength in depth.
"We want to keep all the players hungry – we don't want to say 'this is the first XV and you guys have got no chance of playing'. We want to create competition for places and we want to be able to pick the best team for any one occasion.
"And in training, we're massive on how you train – if you don't train well, you could get dropped.
"We've always said that all you can be as a player, is be ready to play.
"There might be an illness or an injury and you get thrown in, so the mantra is that you've got to be ready."
Fly-half Tom Heathcote has been playing second fiddle to star man George Ford so far this campaign but the 21-year-old got a much-needed taste of competitive action in last weekend's 30-13 victory at Newport.
Boss Ford said: "He did very well. He's been excellent this year in terms of his attitude.
"He's wanting to get better all the time and I've had a couple of chats with him this year.
"He understands that George is playing well but he's getting the attention that he's craving in terms of his development from Toby (Booth), Neal (Hatley) and myself and he knows that he's going to get his chance.
"At the same time, we've got to be fair to him – we know that it was his first game in a while at the weekend and we know it takes you three or four games to get to your top form."
