Doctors have spotted cancer coming back up to a year before normal scans in an "exciting" discovery.

The UK team was able to scour the blood for signs of cancer while it was just a tiny cluster of cells invisible to X-ray or CT scans.
It should allow doctors to hit the tumour earlier and increase the chances of a cure.
They also have new ideas for drugs after finding how unstable DNA fuels rampant cancer development.
The research project was on lung cancer, but the processes studied are so fundamental that they should apply across all cancer types.
Lung cancer kills more people than any other type of tumour and the point of the study is to track how it can "evolve" into a killer that spreads through the body.
In order to test for cancer coming back, doctors need to know what to look for.
In the trial, funded by Cancer Research UK, samples were taken from the lung tumour when it was removed during surgery.
A team at the Francis Crick Institute, in London, then analysed the tumour's defective DNA to build up a genetic fingerprint of each patient's cancer.
Then blood tests were taken every three months after the surgery to see if tiny traces of cancer DNA re-emerged.
The results, outlined in the journal Nature, showed cancer recurrence could be detected up to a year before any other method available to medicine.
The tumours are thought to have a volume of just 0.3 cubic millimetres when the blood test catches them.
Dr Christopher Abbosh, from the UCL Cancer Institute, said: "We can identify patients to treat even if they have no clinical signs of disease, and also monitor how well therapies are working.
"This represents new hope for combating lung cancer relapse following surgery, which occurs in up to half of all patients."
So far, it has been an early warning system for 13 out of 14 patients whose illness recurred, as well as giving others an all-clear.
In theory, it should be easier to kill the cancer while it is still tiny rather than after it has grown and become visible again.
However, this needs testing.
Prof Charles Swanton, from the Francis Crick Institute, told the BBC: "We can now set up clinical trials to ask the fundamental question - if you treat people's disease when there's no evidence of cancer on a CT scan or a chest X-ray can we increase the cure rate?
"We hope that by treating the disease when there are very few cells in the body that we'll be able to increase the chance of curing a patient."
Janet Maitland, 65, from London, is one of the patients taking part in the trial.
She has watched lung cancer take the life of her husband and was diagnosed herself last year.
She told the BBC: "It was my worst nightmare getting lung cancer, and it was like my worse nightmare came true, so I was devastated and terrified."
But she had the cancer removed and now doctors say she has a 75% chance of being cancer-free in five years.
"It's like going from terror to joy, from thinking that I was never going to get better to feeling like a miracle's been acted," she said.
And taking part in a trial that should improve the chances for patients in the future is a huge comfort for her.
"I feel very privileged," she added.
The blood test is actually the second breakthrough in the massive project to deepen understanding of lung cancer.
A bigger analysis, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed the key factor - genetic instability - that predicted whether the cancer would return.
Multiple samples from 100 patients containing 4.5 trillion base pairs of DNA were analysed.
DNA is packaged up into sets of chromosomes containing thousands of genetic instructions.
The team at the Francis Crick Institute showed tumours with more "chromosomal chaos" - the ability to readily reshuffle large amounts of their DNA to alter thousands of genetic instructions - were those most likely to come back.
Prof Charles Swanton, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "You've got a system in place where a cancer cell can alter its behaviour very rapidly by gaining or losing whole chromosomes or parts of chromosomes.
"It is evolution on steroids."
That allows the tumour to develop resistance to drugs, the ability to hide from the immune system or the skills to move to other tissues in the body.
The first implication of the research is for drug development - by understanding the key role of chromosomal instability, scientists can find ways to stop it.
Prof Swanton told me: "I hope we'll be able to generate new approaches to limit it and bring evolution back from the brink, perhaps reduce the evolutionary capacity of tumours and hopefully stop them adapting.
"It's exciting on multiple levels."
The scientists says they are only scratching the surface of what can be achieved by analysing the DNA of cancers.

Despite the grumbling at the criticism they received following the heavy defeat in the second Test against South Africa, England will have probably admitted in private that what happened at Trent Bridge wasn't good enough.

Everybody sitting in the stands, listening to the radio or watching on television knew they played badly.
Was the talk from outside the team the kick up the backside they needed to get their game in order, or did it come from within? We'll probably never know.
What we can say is that England won the third Test at The Oval by 239 runs, taking a 2-1 lead in the series in the process, because they got the basics right.
The much bigger question is can they repeat it, not only on Friday at Old Trafford, but again and again beyond that?
The inconsistency of this England team is something that worries a lot of people, journalists and fans, who follow them.
Of their nine home wins before this one at The Oval, they have immediately followed up with a defeat.
Not only are the results mixed, but there is also a nagging doubt that the quality of Test cricket that is being played, not only by England, but also their opponents, is poor.
I'm talking specifically about batting, the techniques of the players and their approach to Test cricket.
It's all very well to go out there and plays a few shots, take the applause of the crowd, then swish at one and get out, but that isn't Test cricket.
You can't go after every ball because you think that sooner or later one will have your name on it. Negotiate the delivery that will get you out, navigate your way through the tough times, adjust to the conditions.
Not all players can be tarred with the same brush. Alastair Cook grafted in difficult conditions on the first day, Ben Stokes made a flawless century, while South Africa's Dean Elgar was battling alone in the final innings of the match.
But, too often, when the going gets tough, three or four wickets can fall at once. England were guilty at Trent Bridge, now South Africa have been culpable in London.
So often we see a side capitulate when they are under pressure, particularly when they are batting second and replying to any sort of decent first-innings total.
England, for example, have an excellent record batting first in recent home Tests, but a woeful one when they bat second.
Batting first, they have won 14 of their past 17 matches, but only four from 14 when batting second.
Those statistics are surprising because modern players are so used to having to respond to big totals in limited-overs cricket, of dealing with scoreboard pressure.
A huge part of cricket is played in the mind, and it seems that so many are unable to deal with the heat of being behind in a Test.
It can also lead to matches being very one-sided, which has been a trend in England for some time now.
Whether they are winning or losing, it is usually by a huge margin. It can mean that Test cricket, although providing wonderful moments, does not provide great contests.
Are we getting to the stage where we are more likely to see ebb and flow in a limited-overs match? That's a difficult question to answer.
It is not rocket science to work out what a batsman has to do. Thankfully, cricket has moved on from the days of a batsman going into his shell for hours on end, but that does not mean every ball should be attacked.
Show guts, take the blows, push the singles and rotate the strike. These are basics of the game that have existed for more than 100 years. They should be drilled into every batsman.
People talk about four-day Test cricket, not least because matches barely last five anyway (this one probably wouldn't if it hadn't been for the rain on Saturday), but it would be a great shame to lose five-day matches just because batsmen are incapable of staying in for that long.
Think of some of the great Test moments. Mike Atherton at Johannesburg in 1995, Monty Panesar diving for the crease at Auckland in 2013, Trevor Bailey against Australia in 1953 - all to earn a draw. It would be such a shame if these went from the game for good.
If England, and indeed most Test sides, could take just some of the stubbornness, grit and determination shown in the examples above (OK, maybe not from Monty's dive!) then they would improve and the game would be better for it.
England have done well in this match, but it will probably take a little while for us to know for sure if they have truly learned from the mistakes of Trent Bridge.

Keeping calm while someone is trying to kick you in the head makes taekwondo tricky to master - but even Britain's best become a little flustered when the words 'Olympic selection' are mentioned.

Four years ago, GB Taekwondo became embroiled in arguably the biggest pre-London Olympic controversy when it picked rising star Lutalo Muhammad over then world number one Aaron Cook.
After a bitter legal battle, Muhammad was eventually given the nod by the British Olympic Association (BOA) and went on to claim 2012 bronze.
This week, at the European Championships in Switzerland, GB fighters will have the final chance to prove their Rio potential before the 2016 squad is selected.
Olympic champion Jade Jones (-57kg), world gold medallist Bianca Walkden (+67kg) and leading +87kg heavyweight Mahama Cho look certainties for their respective divisions, while Cook - somewhat bizarrely - had his nationality purchased by Moldova last year and will fight for them in Brazil.
However, Muhammad's road to Rio has been far from simple to navigate with new GB rival - Damon Sansum, a former kick-boxing world champion who won taekwondo world silver in 2015 - a serious contender.
Only one fighter can represent Team GB in the -80kg category this summer.
Demonstrating the ability to win an Olympic medal is a key component for GB selection and Sansum had the edge after securing world silver last year.
However, Muhammad responded with victory at the Manchester World Taekwondo Grand Prix and secured Britain a -80kg berth through his end-of-year world ranking.
Despite missing the start of the season through injury, he is fourth in the Olympic -80kg standings, with Sansum eighth, but both are confident of their prospects.
"I've been in hiding and doing secret training and I'm ready to show the world what they've been missing," Muhammad told BBC Sport.
"Rio is in my mind every day, but I'd rather not talk about selection, I want to focus on winning the Olympic gold medal - that's what I'm aiming for."
Sansum believes improvements and regular medal-winning performances since switching sports prove his potential.
"It was difficult to adapt when I first moved over and London 2012 came too soon, but I've become much more consistent since then," he said.
"I transferred over because it was my dream to compete in an Olympics which you can't do in kick-boxing and I think I've shown I'm a serious medal contender."

World Taekwondo has attempted to reinvent the sport after a series of controversial results - many of which came at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
They included Briton Sarah Stevenson being initially eliminated, despite a late fight-winning head-kick, before a threatened walkout by all athletes saw her reinstated and ultimately win bronze.
Although officials are still involved, points are now largely scored by athletes striking electronic pads mounted around the body and within headgear, which reduces the subjectivity of results.
However, the sport's governing body has become almost obsessed with change, and much to the frustration of athletes the equipment has again been revised just months before Rio 2016.
"Changing it this close is a bit confusing," Sansum told BBC Sport.
"It's hard to score and you find people winning through penalties rather than kicks because the head guards are inconsistent, but whoever adapts the quickest has the best chance of winning."
Muhammad added: "Things keep changing and there's new stuff to be aware of, but I'm confident my style and technique will work."
To say Cook v Muhammad was a bitter battle would be an understatement, with the London Olympian - who received hate mail during the appeals process - adamant his rival took the fight too far.
There has been noticeable tension between the pair when they have fought since, but Muhammad insists his relationship with Sansum is completely different.
"This isn't like other rivalries I've had in the past - there's nothing but respect here," he said.
"It [pre-London 2012] was incredibly tough and no other athlete had to go through those circumstances, but it made me tougher mentally and I do try to take that into the ring."
While Cook was outside of the British set-up, training with his own team before London 2012, Sansum believes Britain has benefited from having two leading -80kg fighters sparring with each another as part of the same programme pre-Rio.
"Our team has so much talent and with the strength in depth we're always pushing one another," he said.
"When you see someone like Lutalo lifting big in the gym, you want to go bigger. When he's kicking hard, that motivates you more."

Fight-offs could have been used to decide as many as three of the four British Taekwondo London Olympic places, but GB selectors are not great supporters of the idea.
Muhammad leads Sansum 3-1 in the career head-to-head, but results against high-profile opponents will have a greater bearing on selection.
"I would do anything to get into the Olympics, but I'm not that big a fan of fight-offs," said Sansum, though Muhammad admits it "would be a great watch".
With only one athlete per nation allowed to compete in each division at the Europeans, Muhammad and Sansum will be kept apart.
Muhammad has the advantage of competing in the Olympic category on Saturday, with Sansum in -87kg action on Sunday, but results for both fighters will count significantly towards Rio selection.
Men:
-54kg: Hassan Haider; -58kg: Feyi Pearce; -63kg: Bradly Sinden; -68 kg: Benjamin Haines; -74kg: Christian McNeish ; -80kg: Lutalo Muhammad; -87kg: Damon Samsun; +87kg: Mahama Cho, Lyle Walker.
Women:
-49kg: Charlie Maddock; -57kg: Jade Jones; -62kg: Rachelle Booth; -67kg: Lauren Williams; -73kg: Jade Slavin; +73kg: Bianca Walkden.


Investigations have been continuing into the sinking of a fishing boat off Mingulay in the Western Isles in the early hours of Saturday morning.

One of the four crew of the Louisa was rescued by a lifeboat after swimming for shore and then clinging to rocks.
Two men were found dead and the fourth, who also swam for shore, is missing.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch's examination of the incident is ongoing, while further searches for the missing man are under review.
The boat, which was used for crab fishing, was understood to have taken on water, forcing the crew to abandon ship.
Ch Insp Gordon Macleod from Police Scotland said: "Our thoughts are very much with the families at this time. It is tragic accident for the community to deal with but primarily for the families that are affected. We have officers working with them and keeping them up-to-date with inquiries as they go on.
"We are obviously wanting to establish what has happened here and we are working very closely with the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
"We will be looking at the safety around the boat and looking to establish what happened that led to this tragic accident."
Finlay MacLeod, superintendent of the Fishermen's Mission in Stornoway, said: "The four crewmen ended up in the water but with the cold and the exposure, hypothermia started to set in and two of them decided to swim to the shore, which they could see.
"During that swimming one of them drifted away from the other and he was lost whilst the other one made it to the shore."


Wales has recorded its highest temperature of the year at 20.3C (69F) at Trawsgoed, near Aberystwyth in Ceredigion.

But Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula, in Gwynedd, saw temperatures between 13C (55F) and 15C (59F) on Saturday.
The previous highest temperature in Wales this year was 18.7C (66F) in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, on 25 March.
Sunday will be cooler with temperatures peaking in the late teens, according to the Met Office.


Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris says the county is still aiming to increase the number of Welsh players in the side - despite being down to two in the current successful T20 Blast side.

Aneurin Donald and Andrew Salter are the Welsh players left, after injuries to David Lloyd and Kiran Carlson.
"Our long-term ambition is that we want to get as many local players in the team as we possibly can," said Morris.
"But they have got to be good enough to warrant a place in the side."
Owen Morgan and Connor Brown have been included in match-day squads in the T20 Blast, without making the final 11.
Six South African-born players, including new signing David Miller, two born in Australia and one Englishman featured in the win over Gloucestershire in Bristol, which took Glamorgan to the top of the Southern Group ahead of Surrey on run-rate.
Chris Cooke and Craig Meschede, born in Johannesburg, are now qualified for England.
"It's got to be a balance. We're in a professional sport and we have to be competitive," said Morris ahead of Glamorgan's home game against Surrey on Friday, 28 July.
"You look at some of the opponents, and the make-up of their side is not too different to ours.
"We're excited by some of the talent we have, in red-ball (Championship) cricket particularly, Kiran Carlson, David Lloyd, Aneurin Donald, Owen Morgan, Andrew Salter and Lukas Carey this season have played for us as young men.. and in two or three years time, given their experience, we're going to have a strong nucleus of Welshmen."
Glamorgan have suffered from having three home games rained off in succession at their Cardiff headquarters.
"Top of the table, we can't do much better than that and that's despite having three games rained off and that's been incredibly frustrating for all of us," Morris told BBC Wales Sport.
But despite another poor weather forecast for the Surrey match, the former ECB chief executive hopes that 2017 will still turn a profit thanks to five international matches at the SSE Swalec Stadium.
"We were really pleased with our international programme," Morris added.
"We set some ambitious budget targets and we're very close to those targets which is a great credit to the staff."
All-rounder Graham Wagg, 34, is in talks with Glamorgan over a new contract after getting to the milestone of 100 wickets in the T20 Blast, a figure reached by former team-mate Dean Cosker in 2016.
"It's a nice achievement, I didn't actually know but my father texted me, so unfortunately I'm going to have to buy a round," joked Wagg.
"[Cosker] messaged me to say congratulations on the way home from Gloucestershire. He got 100 just for Glamorgan but hopefully there's plenty more in the tank for me.
"Watching [Durham's] Paul Collingwood and [Kent's] Darren Stevens playing at 41, I've only just turned 34 so I think there's a lot left for me and I feel I'm still in my prime."


Messaging services including Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and Tango have been cut off in Burundi amid protests over the president seeking a third term.

The regulator ordered telecoms operators to block mobile access to certain sites, reports AFP.
The government has banned protests, deployed the army and shut down the main independent radio station.
There have been days of protests over President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision to stand for re-election in June.
Social media messaging services have been used to coordinate the protests which are the biggest in Burundi since the civil war ended in 2005.
African Public Radio, known as "voice of the voiceless", is one of three radio stations whose live broadcasts have been stopped. The government said the radio station was disrupting the peace.
Mr Nkurunziza, a former rebel leader, has warned that anyone who wants to create problems for the governing party would find himself "in trouble".
At least three people were killed on Sunday as police dispersed crowds with live ammunition.
Under the constitution, presidents can only be elected to two terms in office but Mr Nkurunziza's allies say his first term does not count as he was appointed by parliament.
Mr Nkurunziza has been in power since 2005, when a 12-year civil war officially ended.
More than 300,000 people died in the conflict between the minority Tutsi-dominated army and mainly Hutu rebel groups, such as Mr Nkurunziza's CNDD-FDD.
The United States has condemned the president's bid for a third term saying in a press statement that the country is "losing an historic opportunity to strengthen its democracy".


A struggling Harris Tweed mill business on the Isle of Lewis has been sold to new owners for £1.

Carloway Mill almost went into administration at the beginning of last year before being offered for sale.
It has been bought by The Carloway Mill Ltd and its two directors, Anthony Loftus and the mill's former production manager Annie MacDonald.
The deal means the mill's 17 employees, who have been working a three-day week, can be retained.
The Carloway Mill Ltd is a new business set up to secure the future of the mill.
Ms MacDonald told BBC Alba: "We are hopeful that we will get orders through.
"Because of the uncertainty over the mill it has been difficult, but we are getting back out there and we are hopeful."


Carlos Tevez's move from Manchester City to Corinthians has fallen through because the Brazilian club pulled out.

City thought a £40m deal had been agreed for the Argentine striker after he told the Premier League outfit he wanted to return to South America.
But Corinthians said there was not enough time to sign the the 27-year-old before the Brazilian transfer window closes at 0400 BST on Thursday.
Corinthians still want Tevez and hinted an agreement can be reached in January.
It had appeared that the former West Ham forward had got his wish for a transfer but then in a statement, Corinthians said: "The board of Sporting Club Corinthians hereby officially announce the impossibility of hiring the Argentine striker Carlos Tevez.
"While acknowledging the efforts of Manchester City and all involved in the negotiation, more time is needed for the transfer to be achieved, given that the window to sign players from abroad closes on Wednesday, 20 July [Brazilian time].
"We are aware of the dream our fans had of having this player at Corinthians again and we look forward to him being with us in the near future."
That would indicate that Corinthians may look to revive the deal in the January transfer window, although that would not be the preferred option of Tevez or his current club.
Tevez, who had a spell at Corinthians from 2005 to 2006, originally asked City for a transfer in December and has since reiterated that desire to leave so he can be closer to his family in Argentina.
However, there are few clubs who can match the asking price of about £40m.
Corinthians' move for Tevez - which emerged on Monday - was believed to be funded by a new television deal for Brazilian clubs.
But the Sao Paulo side's response to City's demand for a proper payment schedule on Tuesday was perhaps a sign the transfer would not have gone smoothly.
The breakdown of Tevez's transfer to Corinthians also leaves City manager Roberto Mancini's proposed move for Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero in doubt.
Tevez, who is contracted to City until 2014, has been a key player for the club since arriving from neighbours Manchester United in 2009.
He helped Mancini's side to FA Cup success and Champions League qualification in the 2010/2011 campaign. He has scored 43 Premier League goals in his two seasons at City - the highest total of any player in the top division.


Bedwyr Williams works from a new tin shed in the garden of his home in Rhostryfan, a one-road village near Caernarfon, Gwynedd.

His selection as Wales' representative for the Venice Biennale this year has already proved popular with the critics - the London broadsheets have dispatched their finest to the Welsh countryside to peer inside his office, and hear a hint of what he has planned.
Only a large telescope, set up next to his computer, offers a clue as to the theme of his Venice exhibition.
It's the concept of the amateur astronomer that's inspired the work that will fill six rooms of a former convent later this month.
"There are obvious links between Venice and astronomy - Galileo unveiled his telescope there - but it's the amateur astronomer that I've focused on," he said.
"Of all the amateur pastimes, astronomy is the one where the practitioners have an active part in the progression of that field. People at home spot comets, moons and planets."
Williams wants to celebrate the amateurs who spend their lives looking out into space.
At least one of the rooms in his exhibition will contain an observatory, while ideas of size and distance are explored with giant everyday objects in the style of Alice in Wonderland.
The world's press will get a first glimpse of his work at the end of May, before the six-month exhibition opens to the public at the beginning of June.
It's costing around Â£400,000 to have a Wales exhibit at this year's Biennale. The bill is being picked up by the Arts Council of Wales and the Welsh government.
Williams thinks it's right for Wales to attend.
"It's kind of like the art Olympics, but without the bad dress sense," he said.
"All the other countries of the world are there as well, so it makes sense for Wales to be there.
"I think we have a tendency to be an inward-looking outfit as a country, and maybe in a way although this exhibition has no Welsh content - no red dragons or sheep - that idea of looking in and looking out is something that Welsh people ought to think about."
The artist Osi Rhys Osmond chaired the committee that selected Williams for this year's Biennale.
"In choosing an artist like Bedwyr, who is at the cutting edge of contemporary practice, we are showing the world that we are a modern mature country, that we can deal with the latest ideas, that we have people who are on a par with anyone across the international stage," he said.
"And it's a moment that Wales needs to take particular pride in.
"We are there among the best and we are showing work that will be among the most talked about work in Venice this year and, I believe, for years to come."
Bedwyr Williams And The Starry Messenger opens at the 55th Venice Biennale from June to November 2013.


A knife attacker who lashed out at Tube passengers cutting the throat of one had images of murdered Lee Rigby on his phone, a jury has heard.

Muhiddin Mire, 30, injured musician Lyle Zimmerman at Leytonstone station, the Old Bailey heard.
As he was led away by police on 5 December he said "this is for Syria, for my Muslim brothers", the jury was told.
Mr Mire admits attacking Mr Zimmerman, 56, but denies attempted murder.
Mr Zimmerman suffered "a deep and ragged wound" to his neck and his windpipe was exposed, the court has heard.
Images of murdered soldier Lee Rigby and British Islamic State executioner Jihadi John, were among extremist material found on Mr Mire's phone, prosecutors said.
As he was led away by police Mr Mire explained his actions were in response to the bombings of hospitals in Syria, the jury heard.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC said: "The contents of the defendant's phone, when looked at alongside what he said during the course of the incident... provides an insight as to what motivated the defendant to do what he did and what he was seeking to do to Mr Zimmerman."
Minutes after he attacked Mr Zimmerman, the defendant got into a heated exchange outside the station with another man - Daniel Bielinski - after he brandished the knife at him and his girlfriend.
Mr Bielinski filmed the exchange, during which he asked: "Why you attack me and my girlfriend?"
In the footage, shown to the jury, Mr Mire, of Sansom Road, Leytonstone, then returns to the station, prompting Mr Bielinski to scream: "Be careful, be careful. Knife blade. Call for police. Security."
Mr Mire is eventually struck with a stun gun three times by police before being brought to the ground.
Somali-born Mr Mire, who came to the UK as a boy, accepts he used the knife, and the issue for the jury to decide is whether Mire intended to kill Mr Zimmerman.
He denies attempted murder but admits four counts of attempted wounding and an alternative count of wounding with intent to cause Mr Zimmerman grievous bodily harm.
The trial continues.


A fund run by investment firm Pimco is being investigated over allegations that managers inflated returns.

The exchange-traded fund (ETF) is run by celebrated financier and Pimco co-founder Bill Gross, who has been interviewed by US authorities, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Pimco Total Return ETF has grown rapidly in the past couple of years.
Pimco said the investigation was a "private matter" and that its pricing procedures were "entirely appropriate".
The Californian firm confirmed it had been co-operating with the US regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but did not elaborate on the nature of the investigation.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that the investigation had been going on for months and concerned the manner in which Pimco purchased and valued certain bonds.
The company, widely considered to be the world's biggest bond manager, was set up in 1971, and acquired by insurance giant Allianz in 2000.
Shares in Allianz have fallen slightly following news of the SEC investigation.


Parts of Larne in County Antrim remain sealed off for a second day while police continue to search for evidence of dissident republican terrorism.

The search in the Inver Road area is linked to the arrest of a serving Royal Marine last week.
CiarÃ¡n Maxwell, who is from the town, was arrested in Somerset as part of the investigation after searches in Larne and Devon.
The 30-year-old marine is still being questioned.
The Metropolitan Police have until 12:20 BST to charge or release Mr Maxwell after his detention was extended by a London court on Friday.
Some homes and at least one business were evacuated while searches were carried out on Tuesday, said DUP councillor Paul Reid.
Larne's Town Park was also closed off by police, but has since reopened.
Meanwhile, police investigating dissident republican activity are questioning a 27-year-old man.
He was arrested on Monday morning in Larne.
His arrest is understood to be connected to the discovery of two arms dumps near the County Antrim town earlier this year.
In March, the PSNI said they had uncovered a "significant terrorist hide" of bomb-making components and explosives at Carnfunnock Country Park.
Among the items recovered were wiring, circuit boards, partially constructed power timer units and a small quantity of explosives.
In May, a second significant arms cache, including an armour-piercing improvised rocket and two anti-personnel mines, was found at Capanagh Forest, near Larne.
Both finds were thought to be linked to dissident republican paramilitaries.


An artwork built out of bicycle bits has been unveiled to mark the Tour de Yorkshire passing through Teesside.

Some of the world's greatest cyclists will ride through Middlesbrough's Stewart Park on Sunday during the final leg of the event.
In honour of the tour, a sculpture showing explorer Captain James Cook emerging on wheels from a wall at his birthplace museum has been installed.
It was made by artist Keith Peacock and also features a bike chain and cogs.
Senior museum curator Phil Philo said:  "As a legacy of the Tour it seems to pose the question, had the bicycle been invented, would Cook have embraced the technology and the thrills and spills that it offered, and had the ambition to cycle farther than any man?  - we certainly think so."
The three-day cycle race began on Friday.
The navigator and explorer was born in 1728.


Iraqi security forces are clearing the final pockets of resistance by Islamic State militants in the city of Mosul.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi went to Mosul on Sunday to congratulate his troops on "liberating" the city, but he stopped short of declaring victory.
The militants were said to hold an area about 180m (590ft) long and 45m wide.
The battle for Mosul has taken almost nine months, left large areas in ruins, killed thousands of civilians and displaced more than 920,000 others.
Commanders from the US-led coalition that has provided air and ground support to Iraqi forces said the urban combat had been most intense since World War Two.
Although Mr Abadi made no formal declaration of victory on Sunday, he stressed that it was "just around the corner".
Using a pejorative term for IS based on an Arabic acronym of its former name, he said the "remnants of Daesh are besieged in a few inches" and expressed "appreciation for the heroic forces determined to put an end to the myth of Daesh for good".
"One or two pockets are still controlled by IS militants who have no more than two options: to surrender or to be killed," he added.
On Monday morning, Iraqi army officers estimated that only a few dozen militants were still putting up resistance in a small part of the Old City, near the western bank of the River Tigris. Most of the civilians left there were believed to be members of the militants' families, who were being used as human shields, they added.
The BBC's Jonathan Beale in Mosul says a steady stream of civilians, weak through hunger and lack of water, is still being led out of the Old City.
Search and rescue teams have also been pulling out many bodies from mountains of rubble, our correspondent adds.
The UN estimates that the fighting on the ground and air strikes have damaged more than 5,000 buildings and destroyed 490 in the densely-populated Old City alone.
"It's a relief to know that the military campaign in Mosul is ending. The fighting may be over, but the humanitarian crisis is not," said the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq, Lise Grande.
"Many of the people who have fled have lost everything. They need shelter, food, health care, water, sanitation and emergency kits. The levels of trauma we are seeing are some of the highest anywhere. What people have experienced is nearly unimaginable."
IS militants overran Mosul in June 2014, before seizing control of large parts of northern and western Iraq. The following month, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made his first and only public appearance as IS leader at the city's Great Mosque of al-Nuri, and gave a speech proclaiming the creation of a "caliphate".
IS blew up the mosque almost exactly three years later as Iraqi troops prepared to retake it - a move Iraq's prime minister called a "formal declaration of defeat".
Our correspondent says the jihadists may have lost militarily in Mosul, but this is not their end in Iraq nor the end of their twisted ideology.
IS still controls territory in three areas of Iraq - around Hawija, 130km (80 miles) south-east of Mosul; around Tal Afar, 65km west; and from Ana to Al-Qaim in the Euphrates river valley, 250km to the south-west.
IS also holds a string of towns along the Euphrates in Syria, including Albu Kamal and Mayadin, but its stronghold of Raqqa is besieged by US-backed fighters.


Scotland are showing the attitude that will drive them to improve more after winning their first Six Nations match in two years, says coach Vern Cotter.

Tries from John Barclay, John Hardie and Tommy Seymour, with Greig Laidlaw kicking 21 points, brought a welcome 36-20 win over Italy in Rome.
Scotland next play France at home before an away trip to Ireland.
"If we keep the desire to improve, that attitude will move us forward," said Cotter after his first Six Nations win.
"We wanted to improve and I think we can improve from this game. We can become better again.
"This will give us a bit more confidence to keep working and being a bit more accurate and re-enforcing the things we have done well.
"It was an important win.  We will enjoy this evening and then next week turn our heads towards the French game.

"We are certainly getting something from our hard work and stubbornness and desire to get better. For some of these guys it was a first Six Nations win so it will do them some good."
Five of the starting team - Finn Russell, Mark Bennett, Jonny Gray, Willem Nel and John Hardie - as well as replacements Stuart McInally, Tim Swinson, Josh Strauss and Peter Horne - enjoyed their first Six Nations victory, plus Cotter himself - at the eighth attempt.
"Credit to the players - I thought they put in a good effort," Cotter added. "They were numbers down on a couple of occasions and they battled hard to fight out the win and score a try at the end.
"It was by no means an easy game. We got into an early lead but they came back as we expected.  I am happy for the players.  They prepared well and got the win so it's good."
Captain Greig Laidlaw, who was named man-of-the-match after landing eight kicks from nine shots at goal, was relieved to be finally celebrating a Six Nations victory.
"There is no happier Scot than me," he told BBC Scotland. "It's been a long time coming, hasn't it?
"I really felt we deserved to win - we were the better team. We scored 36 points, but as much as our attacking play was good, we were camped on our line a couple of times and kept Italy at bay, so I am delighted with the character of the side.
"There are always going to be times in a game when you are under a bit of pressure, and the most pleasing thing was we were calm and in control in defence.
"Credit to the boys in the scrum. The platform they gave us was second-to-none.
"For us as a collective, it is brilliant. It gives us confidence in the way we play. We didn't scrape home, we finished the game in style.
"We can't wait to get back to Murrayfield now and play at home."
Flanker Barclay, who scored the first try, paid tribute to Laidlaw's leadership in the wake of opening defeats by England and Wales.
"Greig was great," he added. "He kept the boys together and kept us upbeat. It is a good bunch of boys - the best I have been involved with.
"There has been a lot of false dawns over this team so we need to keep working hard and keep improving."


David Finney was still the right side of 40 when he helped launch a swimming club in the Worcestershire town of Redditch in 1972.

When he retires in February, at the age of 83, he will have put in 45 years of service at the Bridge Swimming Club.
His work has now been honoured by his award this week as a BBC 'Unsung Hero' - but he remains modesty itself.
"It's a pleasure passing on skills, whether swimming, badminton, cricket or football," he told BBC Sport.
"But really it was so gratifying just to be nominated. There are so many other people all very deserving of this award who have never even been nominated.
"And I have to thank the people at the Bridge Swimming Club, particularly Sue Robinson, who nominated me."

It was a chance conversation with a friend on a school playground that led to Finney first becoming involved.
His own son became a member. That son is now 52 and, on account of ill health, Finney is to now move away from the area and be nearer to him.
But he will go into retirement having shaped the sporting future of so many youngsters, having taught pupils from the age of five to 16.
And his own involvement in the often thankless world of sports organisation goes back even further, to when he helped set up the Stonehouse Gang Youth Club in the Birmingham suburb of Selly Oak 70 years ago.
"As a child, I was so nervous, I wouldn't say boo to a goose," he told BBC Midlands Today. "I joined the Stonehouse Gang to play football at 13 and found my way in the gang
"I started playing table tennis there and, once I'd been trained, I wanted to pass on my skills. The same happened with badminton.
"To mark out the court, we started off by laying tape down in the school hall at Paganel Road School. But I ended up having to ask permission to paint the lines."
Truly, a man who, in more than one way has left his mark.


Two men have been arrested after eight rabbits died in an arson attack on a van in Lincolnshire.

Fire crews tackled the blaze in the farmyard of Highgate Farm at Normanby-by-Spital, near Market Rasen, on 19 July.
A 25-year-old man from London and another man from Driffield, East Yorkshire, were arrested on suspicion of arson and blackmail.
They remained in police custody on Wednesday.


Warren Gatland would benefit from taking a year off coaching Wales to lead the 2017 British and Irish Lions to New Zealand, says his boss.

Gatland, whose contract with Wales runs until 2019, guided the 2013 Lions to a 2-1 series win over Australia.
"If he does get it then I think it will be good for him," said Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Martyn Phillips.
He also announced that the Wales A team, which last played in 2002, will be restarted in 2017.
Phillips said Gatland has been Wales boss "for quite a while".
He added: "I think it would be good for him to go away for a year, get a different perspective and have a degree of reflection and reinvention.
"I think we can turn it into a positive."
Wales are trailing New Zealand 2-0 in their current series under Gatland with the remaining Test to take place on Saturday, 25 June.
Wales, beaten 36-22 in Wellington, have adopted a more expansive approach as they try to evolve their game.
Wales have now lost 28 consecutive matches against the All Blacks, with their last win coming in 1953.
Former All Blacks scrum-half Justin Marshall has praised their style in the two defeats by the All Blacks as a "revelation".
But Gatland faced criticism over Wales' approach during the 2016 Six Nations.
Phillips added: "It is slightly ironic at the moment that when you read the press they are questioning whether Warren is the right guy for Wales, yet on the other side of the ledger some are suggesting he is a shoo-in for the Lions job.
"What I've learned over the last few weeks is that in New Zealand they hold Warren in massive regard.
"Warren has to get it [the Lions role] on merit.
"He has got to get it because he believes he can do it and so do the people who select him. It isn't just an automatic selection."
Phillips also confirmed Wales are set to play international A team fixtures next season for the first time since 2002.
The likes of Shane Williams and Tom Shanklin featured in a team coached by Mike Ruddock when the A side last played.
Wales withdrew from the 2003 A team Six Nations due to what were understood to be primarily cost reasons, and have not been seen since.
"We will reconstitute the Wales A team for next season," he said.
"We believe getting these fixtures up and running can help both ourselves and the [Welsh] regions by exposing the next group of players to a different, higher level of competition."


The assembly election is a choice between "pro-job, pro-growth" Conservatives and "old and discredited" Labour ideas, the chancellor has said.

George Osborne said Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies could bring a "magic combination" of improved education, a better NHS and competitive businesses.
Mr Osborne was speaking to business leaders at a Cardiff Bay hotel.
A Welsh government spokesman accused the chancellor of chanting a "bunch of weary, re-heated political slogans".
"With the election coming in May, there's a very clear choice between the pro-growth, pro-job, pro-future leadership offered by Andrew RT Davies and the Welsh Conservatives, and the old and discredited ideas offered by the Labour Party," Mr Osborne said.
"A Welsh assembly government, in my view led by Andrew RT Davies, who is delivering a great, competitive business environment for Wales, better education here in Wales, investment in healthcare here in Wales, then I think you would have a magic combination that would really see a boost for the Welsh people and the Welsh economy."
A spokesman for First Minister Carwyn Jones responded: "We are quite sure that business people of Wales did not turn up today to hear the chancellor deliver a bunch of weary, re-heated political slogans.
"It would have been refreshing to actually hear a plan, or even an apology for missed targets and sluggish responses to the needs of the Welsh economy.
"The Welsh Labour government has always been, and will proudly remain, a confident and pro-business government."
The chancellor also said he wanted a £1.3bn "city deal" for economic development and transport projects in south east Wales signed before his budget on 16 March, comparing it to Cardiff Bay's regeneration in the 1990s.
In November, Welsh ministers challenged the Treasury to match nearly £580m they pledged to the scheme, in a formal submission signed by the leaders of 10 local councils across south east Wales, who promised £120m.
On Thursday, Mr Osborne said: "This city deal can transform this city as much as the development around the bay did a generation ago.
"It demonstrates our ambition for the Cardiff region and I want to see the deal signed by the time of the Budget in March. So let's get on with it."
No specific city deal projects have been identified yet, but it is expected to include better bus and train services as part of a Metro scheme.
A Welsh government spokesman said it awaited details of the UK government's contribution to the deal and would "continue working closely with the authorities in the Cardiff Capital Region to enable the vision to become a reality".
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood welcomed the chancellor's comments, but said he should "announce he is to open a Swansea city deal and a 'rural deal' for west Wales, to spread prosperity throughout Wales".
Earlier, visiting Cardiff University, Mr Osborne revealed plans to invest £50m in a "ground-breaking new innovation centre" in Wales.
He said it would specialise in compound semiconductors - technology behind devices including smart phones.
The chancellor said the centre would bring together leading businesses, engineers and experts and receive £10m a year from the UK government up to 2020-21.
Ministers said the location of the centre would be revealed in "due course".
Cardiff Business Council chairman Nigel Roberts said it was a "massive game changer" that would form an important part of the city deal.
But he said there needed to be leadership on the city deal "on behalf of Wales" and business needed to be at the top table so a persuasive bid could go forward.
I can't recall a time when a senior Tory cabinet member has come to Wales and in a speech directly portrayed the Welsh leader Andrew RT Davies as a potential first minister in the way that he did.
It's a sign of how many see this as the best chance ever in an assembly election for the Conservatives because of the relative weakness of Labour, with Jeremy Corbyn leading a UK party struggling with in-fighting.
And by doing that, the chancellor touched on what must be the crucial point for the Tories in this campaign, and the challenge that they need to overcome.
It's all very well being a party capable of knocking the government, but it's another thing to be seen as a government in waiting, and indeed for Andrew RT Davies, to be seen as a first minister in waiting.

One person has been killed amid violent clashes between white nationalists attending a far-right march and protesters in the US state of Virginia.

The mayor of Charlottesville said he was "heartbroken" at the loss.
It is not clear if the death came when a car rammed a crowd of opponents of the far-right rally, injuring several.
The "Unite the Right" march was called to protest against plans to remove a statue of a Civil War general. A state of emergency has been declared.
President Donald Trump condemned "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides".
"The hate and the division must stop right now," he told reporters, speaking in New Jersey, where he is on a working holiday. "We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation."
Video posted on social media showed a car ploughing at speed into several slow-moving vehicles, which were surrounded by a densely packed crowd. Emergency services were pictured treating a number of people who were injured.
Some reports suggest there are as many as 10 people wounded.
A witness said one girl got "tore up" after the car "backed up and hit again".
Earlier, police fired tear gas against demonstrators and said that arrests had been made after a declaration of unlawful assembly at Emancipation Park.
The state of emergency allows local authorities to request additional resources if needed, the police department said.
The far-right protesters, some waving Confederate flags, carrying shields and wearing helmets, are angry about the planned removal of a statue of Gen Robert E Lee from Charlottesville. Gen Lee commanded the pro-slavery Confederate forces in the US Civil War of 1861-65.
The New York Times reports that some of them were chanting "You will not replace us," and "Jew will not replace us."
Anti-racism organisations such as Black Lives Matter have also held marches.
By Joel Gunter, BBC News, Charlottesville
There were very violent scenes at Emancipation Park and it took some time for the police to intervene.
Both sides were throwing bottles and rocks and using pepper spray.
The far-right protesters were a mix of different groups with shields and batons and the declaration of a state of emergency seemed to have had a significant impact on them, as they started to dissipate.
Riot police have been deployed, but tensions remain high, with people screaming at each other and demonstrators still out on the streets.
Shiquan Rah, a 21-year-old demonstrator who had joined the counter-protest, said about the far-right groups: "These people don't have a message, their message is hate and violence. This is a spiritual war we're in.
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe urged calm tweeting: "The acts and rhetoric in #Charlottesville over past 24 hours are unacceptable [and] must stop. A right to speech is not a right to violence."
Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer had earlier called the rally a "parade of hatred, bigotry, racism and intolerance".
The rise of the alt-right
The hoax about desecration of US Civil War graves
On Friday, the white nationalists held lit torches - which some observers described as a reference to the Ku Klux Klan - and chanted "White lives matter" as they marched through the University of Virginia in the city.
Charlottesville is considered a liberal college town - and 86% of the county voted for Hillary Clinton in last year's presidential elections.
However, the town has become a focal point for white nationalists after the city council voted to remove a statue of Gen Lee.
Some observers also argue that Mr Trump's election to the White House re-energised the far right across the US.


Former Australian Liberal Party minister Fred Chaney remembers stopping by the side of the road in the Australian outback to listen to a radio report of Aboriginal sports star Cathy Freeman's gold medal win at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

"A bunch of young Aboriginal people pulled up in a four-wheel-drive and asked if we needed help," he wrote recently. "We shared the triumph of the day."
Mr Chaney, a former Aboriginal Affairs Minister, says Aboriginal sports heroes like Freeman have played a huge role in Australia's journey towards reconciliation with its indigenous people.
But he says Australia has had a big "wake up call" over the relentless taunting by many spectators and commentators of Australian Football League (AFL) star and Indigenous Australian Adam Goodes.
Chaney says the row over Goodes goes to the heart of the ongoing tension where Indigenous Australians are praised for their sporting and cultural success but are criticised if they point to racism in the community or assert cultural pride.
"What Adam has done is to flush out an uncomfortable truth," Mr Chaney told the BBC.
"We like to think we're all equal but what we're talking about now is a much more conceptually difficult point of, how do we accommodate continuing difference within that equal society," he explains.
"For me, Aboriginal culture is a rich and wonderful part of Australia, but what we are seeing through Adam Goodes is a demand from some vocal sections of the media and community that Indigenous people 'get on with it, be just like us in every respect'," he says.
This sports mad country will be watching a packed stadium near Melbourne this Saturday night when Goodes returns to the field for his Sydney Swans team to play Victorian team Geelong.
He took a short break from the game last week because of the pressure associated with the race row.
Named Australian of the Year in 2014 for his sporting achievements and his work on Indigenous disadvantage and family violence issues, Goodes has been subject to constant jeers on the field and criticism off the field for speaking about racism.
Respected journalist Stan Grant, himself an Indigenous Australian, described the attacks as "howls of humiliation" .
Goodes' distress over the reaction prompted an outpouring of support across the country in recent weeks.
Rival Richmond players donned Aboriginal 'Dreamtime' guernseys and ran through a big banner declaring 'No silent bystanders' for their match.
Swans fans and those from opposing club the Adelaide Crows gave Goodes a standing ovation ahead of the match he didn't play last weekend.
Australian celebrities, businesses and non-government organisations have all spoken out in support of Goodes, while billionaire casino operator James Packer said he was "ashamed" as an Australian to see the way spectators were treating the champion footballer, a two-time winner of the AFL's highest accolade, the Brownlow Medal.
There have been many reasons given for the jeers, including Goodes last year pointing out a 13-year-old spectator for calling him an "ape".
But the booing and criticism built up after he performed a 'war cry' dance during the May Indigenous round of the AFL, which celebrates the contribution of Indigenous players to the sport.
Some, including Australian Test cricketer Shane Warne, say booing is just part of elite sport. But the Sydney Swans have no doubts.
"Adam Goodes has been booed relentlessly because he's Aboriginal and because he's had the courage to stand and speak about matters close to his heart," said Swans chairman Andrew Pridham.
"The Swans position on this matter is very clear - you cannot be a little bit racist."
Nova Peris, the first Indigenous Australian to win an Olympic gold medal, and now a senator in the Australian parliament, says the saga shows Australia "has a problem with the truth of Aboriginal people".
"My grandfather had chains around his neck," Peris said on the weekend, while talking about how several generations of her family were taken away from their communities by government authorities.
"You can only move forward when you acknowledge the truth and right now this country has a problem with the truth of Aboriginal people," she said.
"That is the truth of this country. When [Goodes] spoke out the world said, 'Get back in your box, mate'."

A planned one-way system on a busy commuter route in Bristol has been postponed indefinitely by the council.

The move was planned as part of Bristol's Metrobus scheme but Bristol City Council has halted the work so more traffic assessments can be done.
Cabinet member Mark Bradshaw ruled out a deadline, saying the delay was "for as long as it takes" to complete the research.
The plan involved making Stoke Lane one-way southbound.
Mr Bradshaw added: "I don't want to add to the uncertainty, I don't want to increase the cost and I don't want to increase the disruption for those who are going to be affected but we have to get this right to do this further piece of work.
"That's why I and my colleagues agree that it was the right thing to do to put a halt to this."
The closure was delayed for the first time in April.
Campaigner, Amanda Vinall, said: "We're absolutely thrilled to bits that someone is finally listening to us."
The road carries traffic to and from the Frenchay area over the M32. It had been expected that the change would have lasted a year.
Residents and staff at the nearby University of the West of England (UWE) had opposed the one-way system, claiming other commuter routes were already congested.
Metrobus bosses say the building work would take nine months longer using temporary traffic lights rather than a one-way system.
But Ms Vinall, who's a member of Stoke Lane Action group said any road closure along this route would be unworkable.
She added: "We will not be happy until we have just traffic lights - it would be bearable. The complete one-way system would be unbearable."


A man who was tied up by his sexual partner and left with a gas mask on his face died as a result of an "awful, tragic accident", a court has heard.

Dohoon Kim, 36, was found dead on the bedroom floor after meeting friend Kevin Adams, 52, at Mr Adams' home in Swindon for sex in June 2015.
Bristol Crown Court heard the pair had taken drugs before engaging in "extreme" sexual activity.
Mr Adams denies manslaughter by failing to ensure safety and wellbeing.
The court heard Mr Adams, of Exmouth Street, Swindon, met Mr Kim on a dating website two years earlier.
Jurors heard that in the early hours of 12 June, Mr Adams called 999 saying Mr Kim, from Slough, Berkshire, was unresponsive and not breathing.
When paramedics arrived, they found Mr Kim had been dead for some time with a gas mask to one side of him and a pile of ropes and restraints nearby.
Pavlos Panayi QC, representing Mr Adams, said his client had not chosen to fall asleep but had "passed out" due to drugs and physical exhaustion.
"Kim died as a result of what everyone in this case will agree is a terrible, awful, tragic accident," he told the jury.
He said the pair "met to have sex" and had taken the drugs and "had the same kind of fun" in the past.
"They had met 12 times before. This was the awful, unlucky 13th time."
A post-mortem examination found Mr Kim had an "excessive" level of mephedrone - sometimes known as M-Cat - in his body, prosecutor Adam Feest told the jury.
Mr Feest said Mr Adams failed to remove the gas mask or restraints or check the condition of Mr Kim, who was left lying on the floor, before he went to sleep.
"Many things that could have been done that could have been potentially lifesaving but not done in this case," he added.
The case continues.


Rooms in a five-star hotel in Hampshire had to be evacuated in the early hours after a fire broke out in a laundry room.

It began in the housekeeping quarters of the Chewton Glen Hotel in New Milton just after midnight.
The hotel said all guests and staff were accounted for.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service, which sent five fire engines, said the blaze incinerated all the items in the hotel's laundry.
Spokeswoman for the hotel, Angela Day, said the fire was contained and guests returned to their rooms at about 04:00 GMT.
A fire service spokesman said the operation to put out the fire required 24 sets of breathing apparatus.
He added: "Our attendance was two pumps from New Milton, two from Lymington and one from Redbridge.
"Also to support we had our response support vehicle from Redbridge, environment protection support from Romsey, a co-responder from Ringwood, command support from Beaulieu and Eastleigh, and our incident command support unit from headquarters."
An investigation into the cause of the fire is under way.


Promoted Portsmouth have appointed former Rotherham boss Kenny Jackett as their new manager on a two-year deal.

The 55-year-old replaces Paul Cook, who left to become Wigan manager earlier this week after leading Pompey to the League Two title last season.
Jackett quit as manager of the Millers in November after just 39 days and five games in charge.
He has twice led sides to promotion from League One, firstly Millwall in 2010 and then Wolves in 2014.
Former Wales defender Jackett also steered Swansea to the League One play-off final in 2006, but they were beaten on penalties by Barnsley.
"We're delighted to announce Kenny as our new manager - he ticks so many boxes for us," chief executive Mark Catlin told the club website.
"He's managed big clubs with big expectations in the past and has plenty of experience of getting sides out of League One."
A Portsmouth statement said the club are in "advanced talks" with Joe Gallen - who worked with Jackett at Rotherham, QPR, Millwall and Wolves - to become assistant manager at Fratton Park.
Since leaving Rotherham, Jackett has spent time working in Tottenham's youth set-up, while awaiting a new managerial opportunity.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I'm looking forward to getting started. It's an exciting challenge," he said of his new job.
"This club has a passionate fan-base and they can be a 12th man for us. Hopefully we can build on the momentum of last season and continue to progress."


One of seven British candidates shortlisted for a one-way mission to Mars has pulled out of the project, citing work commitments.

Maggie Lieu, 24, from Coventry, was among 100 people picked to join the Dutch Mars One project, of whom 40 will be selected to travel to the planet.
Ms Lieu said she "didn't want to be tied to a contract", and wants to complete her PhD.
The project plans to set up a permanent human settlement on the planet by 2024.
Ms Lieu announced her intention to withdraw from the project on Twitter.
In a statement, she said: "Having reviewed my position with the Mars One project, I realised that I didn't want to be tied to a contract that didn't suit me going forward.
"I very much want to complete my PhD in astronomy at the University of Birmingham, as well as continue with my public engagement and outreach activities, which I am extremely passionate about.
"I can now concentrate my efforts on pursuing these goals."
She added she felt "truly honoured" to have been picked as one of the 100 candidates.
"I wish the project every success in achieving what will be a remarkable feat for mankind," she said.
Ms Lieu had originally said although she would never be able to see her friends and family again, she would be able to write them emails, which would be "good enough".
She told the BBC in February: "If I really did go I think my mum would be quite upset.
"She's only got one daughter, but I did go away to university for a whole year and it wasn't that bad because I called home every day."
Mars One said six candidates had not been able to proceed with the selection process.
"Maggie is indeed one of them," it said in a statement.
"We will add six candidates to replace them. We are still in the process of completing confirmation of these candidates."


Cuba and the US have formally restored diplomatic relations after an agreement struck last year putting aside decades of hostility came into force.

Just after midnight local time, the diplomatic missions of each country became full embassies.
The Cuban flag was raised on Monday at the newly opened embassy in Washington.
"Nothing is more futile than trying to live in the past," said US Secretary of State John Kerry.
"We're taking a historic and long overdue step in the right direction."
Despite the historic shift, both sides admit to lingering difficulties.
There were still "issues that we don't see eye to eye on", a US state department spokesman said.
A flag will not be raised at the American Embassy in Havana until Mr Kerry pays a visit there on 14 August.
Bruno Rodriguez, Cuba's minister of foreign affairs, called for a removal of the 53-year-old US trade embargo and for the US to return Guantanamo Bay to Cuba.
"I will welcome Mr Kerry in a few weeks and continue talks," Mr Rodriguez said.
Outside of the embassy, crowds of people cheered as the Cuban national anthem played and three Cuban soldiers stood at attention while the flag was raised.
Protesters dotted the crowd, and one was removed from the area by police.
Mr Obama's efforts to engage Cuba were partly held back by the country's imprisonment of US Agency for International Development contractor Alan Gross, who was jailed for espionage charges. Secret negotiations led to Mr Gross's release last year.
Restrictions on Americans wanting to travel to Cuba remain in place, as does the wider US trade embargo banning most American companies from doing business in Cuba.
Cuba says the embargo - which it calls a blockade - is hugely damaging to its economy.
President Raul Castro has urged President Barack Obama to lift it, calling it the main stumbling block towards normalisations. But the US Congress would have to vote on the issue.
The two presidents announced the move towards diplomatic ties in December last year.
Conrad Tribble, deputy chief of mission for the US in Havana, tweeted: "Just made the first phone call to State Dept Ops Center from United States Embassy Havana ever. It didn't exist in Jan 1961."
He then shared the US Cuban embassy's new Twitter account, which already has more than 5,000 followers.


A hospital building will close for up to 12 months due to fire safety problems in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire in London.

John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford plans to move to 52 inpatient beds from its trauma unit following a review of their cladded buildings.
The NHS trust overseeing the site said a "combination of fire safety factors with this building" make it currently unsuitable for inpatients.
They plan to move patients by 4 August.
The results come from a Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) NHS Foundation Trust report, commissioned after external cladding was thought to have contributed to the spread of the fire which led to the deaths of 80 people at Grenfell Tower.
The trust identified four buildings that needed "closer examination" for fire safety concerns, however, the trauma unit was the only one to accommodate inpatients.
Replacing the block's cladding was one of the recommendations made to ensure the building can be reoccupied, they claim.
It is thought the works may take up to a year to carry out.
Dr Bruno Holthof, OUH Chief Executive said the Trust had been "reviewing its fire safety procedures and systems following the tragic events in London".
He added the hospital would "implement any changes necessary" to ensure patients are safe.


The death toll from Sunday's twin suicide bomb attack in Baghdad by Islamic State (IS) militants has risen to at least 70, Iraqi officials say.

Several of those critically wounded when the bombers targeted a busy market in the Shia district of Sadr City died overnight, officials said.
More than 110 others reportedly remain in hospital, while five are missing.
Visiting the scene of the bombings, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi denounced the attackers as "cowardly".
He vowed that their targeting of "defenceless citizens" would not deter Iraqi government forces from seeking to defeat IS, a Sunni jihadist group that controls large parts of the country's north and west.
The UN special envoy to Iraq, Jan Kubis, said the "particularly vicious and cowardly terrorist attack" was "clearly aimed at inflaming sectarian strife".
IS said it would continue to target Shia Muslims, whom it considers heretics.
Officials said that in Sunday's attack, the first bomber blew himself up in the crowded Mredi market in Sadr City. As a crowd and emergency personnel gathered at the site, the second bomber struck.
On Thursday, a Shia mosque in Baghdad was targeted by two suicide bombers, killing 15 people.
With IS suffering recent setbacks elsewhere in the country, there are fears that the group will step up its attacks in the capital, reports BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale.
Earlier on Sunday, IS militants launched an assault in the western suburb of Abu Ghraib, which is about 18 miles (29km) from central Baghdad and is close to the international airport.
Iraqi security and Shia-dominated paramilitary forces suffered casualties, but said they killed 20 attackers and were swiftly able to secure the area.


A top court of the European Union has annulled the bloc's decision to keep the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on a list of terrorist groups.

The decision had been based not on an examination of Hamas' actions, but on "factual imputations derived from the press and the internet", judges found.
The court said the move was technical and was not a reassessment of Hamas' classification as a terrorist group.
It said a funding freeze on the group would continue for the time being.
Hamas dominates Gaza and fought a 50-day war with Israel earlier this year. Under its charter, the movement is committed to Israel's destruction.
Responding to the ruling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas was a "murderous terrorist organisation" which should be put back on the list immediately.
Israel, the United States and several other nations have designated Hamas a terrorist organisation due to its long record of attacks and its refusal to renounce violence.
Hamas, which was founded in 1987, won Palestinian parliamentary elections in 2006 and reinforced its power in Gaza the following year after ousting its Fatah rivals.
Its supporters see it as a legitimate resistance movement against Israel, with whom it has fought for years.
In December 2001, the Council of the European Union - representing the governments of member states - adopted a "common position" and a regulation to combat terrorism.
It established a list of designated entities and people whose funds would be frozen. Hamas' military wing, the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades, was named on the initial list, and its political wing was added two years later.
Hamas contested the decision and on Wednesday the EU's General Court found it had been "based not on acts examined and confirmed in decisions of competent authorities but on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet".
The court said it was therefore annulling Hamas' designation but would temporarily keep existing measures against the group "in order to ensure the effectiveness of any possible future freezing of funds".
This would be maintained for three months, or, if an appeal is brought before the European Court of Justice, until it was closed, it added.
"The court stresses that those annulments, on fundamental procedural grounds, do not imply any substantive assessment of the question of the classification of Hamas as a terrorist group within the meaning of the common position."
Hamas deputy political leader Moussa Abu Marzouk said the decision was "a correction of a historical mistake".
"Hamas is a resistance movement and it has a natural right according to all international laws and standards to resist the occupation," he told the Reuters news agency.
But European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said the EU continued to "consider Hamas a terrorist organisation" and would consider its response to the ruling.
The Israeli economy minister called the court's decision immoral.
"Israel is strong and can defend itself against its enemies, but those who will suffer from strengthening terrorist groups will be the Europeans themselves," Naftali Bennett warned.
Hours after the ruling, the European Parliament adopted a compromise resolution supporting "in principle recognition of Palestinian statehood and the two-state solution", and calling for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians to be "advanced".
The original text had called for unconditional recognition, in line with resolutions passed by several national legislatures in recent months.


Two men have been rescued after their tug boat capsized in Southampton Water.

The men were working on the tug Asterix at the Fawley marine terminal when it turned over in strong winds just after 20:00 BST on Monday.
The first crew member managed to jump clear and swim to safety.
The second crew member was trapped in the upturned boat for more than an hour before a colleague spotted his arm through the window and dived in to save him, moments before it sank.
The stricken tug had been under tow to shallower water when rescuers realised the missing crew member was still inside.
Both the crewman and his rescuer were pulled from the water by the RNLI lifeboat crew.
Matt West of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said: "It was such a severe incident to happen to a vessel - in the conditions it's fantastic that both of them were able to get away safely."
The trapped man was taken to hospital suffering from hypothermia.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) is investigating the accident.


Three foreign suspects have been arrested in Taiwan in connection with the theft of $2.5m (Â£1.9m) from cash machines around the country.

A network of criminals from eastern Europe and Russia used malware to hack into dozens of First Commercial Bank ATMs, police say.
CCTV footage shows masked thieves walking away with bags of stolen cash.
One Latvian man was held in northeast Taiwan, while two other suspects were arrested in the capital Taipei.
More than half of the money has been recovered but another 13 suspects are believed to have fled the country.
"This is the first time that an international team of ATM thieves has committed a crime in Taiwan," the head of the police's Criminal Investigation Division, Lee Wen-chang, said.
It remains unclear exactly how the thieves installed malware on the machines, but it allowed them to quickly withdraw large amounts of cash.
Investigators believe they may have used mobile phones.
In response, banks have frozen withdrawals from more than 1,000 ATMs.


Uefa has charged Legia Warsaw with six offences following crowd trouble in their 6-0 defeat by Borussia Dortmund.

The club apologised on Thursday after a group of fans reportedly used pepper spray on security staff as they tried to break into the away section.
Fireworks were also set off in the stadium and there were allegations of racist chanting, which Legia deny.
Uefa have also charged Dortmund for their fans' use of fireworks in the Champions League tie on Wednesday.
The governing body will hear the case on 28 September.


A Kansas doctor is accused of breaking the law in his handling of an abortion on a 13-year-old girl, but he says he did not realise her age.

A state board is weighing disciplinary action against Dr Allen Palmer over the procedure he carried out in 2014 at the women's group Planned Parenthood.
State law requires that foetal tissue from abortions on patients younger than 14 be preserved.
Dr Palmer said he relied on staff to tell him the age of patients.
Under state law in Kansas, abortions can be provided to children with parental consent.
The part-time Planned Parenthood contractor told medical regulators on Thursday he typically did not perform abortions on patients so young.
The Missouri resident has been licensed to practise osteopathic medicine and surgery in Kansas since 2008, according to a petition against him by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts.
He was filling in for a doctor on holiday when he performed an in-clinic abortion on the 13-year-old girl.
She had been impregnated by her 19-year-old boyfriend. The foetus was nearly 11 weeks old.
The organisation self-reported the violation to the state.
"I'm as shocked and awed by this failure as anybody here, but they want to hang it on me, and maybe that's the way it is," Dr Palmer told the state board, which deferred its ruling after the hearing.
"I'm telling you that I did not know and I would not have proceeded if I had known."
The petition against Dr Palmer was filed by the board's deputy litigation counsel, Susan Gering, and alleged that he failed to preserve the tissue and submit it to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
It called for revoking, suspending and censuring Dr Palmer's licence, or placing him on probation for the incident.
When asked by a board member whether he thought to ask the patient's age, Dr Palmer said: "I really don't ask them, because teenagers today, the way they dress, I can't tell how old anybody is."
He added that patients typically go through counselling and screening before meeting him.
"I'm the last person in line for them. If there's a problem, the staff raised it to me or they notified me somehow," he added.
His lawyer argues Dr Palmer had not received proper training on Planned Parenthood policies and procedures regarding operations on minors.
Meanwhile, the women's group has argued that Dr Palmer "found it unnecessary to familiarise himself in detail with [state] laws requiring the preservation of foetal tissue extracted during an abortion procedure" on a minor.


No press, and it's invitation-only to an event at an undisclosed location in Western Australia, attended by one of the democratic world's most divisive politicians.

On Tuesday, Geert Wilders, controversial leader of the right-wing Netherlands' Party for Freedom, will be the keynote speaker at the launch of the Australian Liberty Alliance (ALA).
Its manifesto states that "Islam is not merely a religion, it is a totalitarian ideology with global aspirations".
Australia's newest political party wants to curb Muslim immigration.
Speaking to the BBC from Perth, the ALA's Scottish-born president Debbie Robinson insisted that Islam was having a corrosive effect on many countries.
"It is dangerous for any Western society in that it is divisive and it promotes parallel societies," she said. "People are looking for an alternative because the major parties are not prepared to discuss some of the issues: the divisiveness of multiculturalism and the damage that is being done to Australia."
Little is known about Tuesday's secretive launch, perhaps unsurprisingly, given Mr Wilders' presence.
The West Australian Premier Colin Barnett has refused to allow the event to take place at any state government venue, while Muslim groups are divided over whether Mr Wilders should be allowed into Australia, which recently banned US rapper Chris Brown for his criminal convictions and deported the American anti-abortion activist, Troy Newman.
Mr Wilders' visit comes at a sensitive time, just over a fortnight after a 15-year old Muslim boy shot dead a police accountant in Sydney.  As Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was calling an emergency summit to address the radicalisation of the young, the head of the Australian Federal Police warned that the threat of domestic terrorism was getting worse.
But Mr Turnbull has also warned that those who vilify all Muslims for the acts of the few "are absolutely acting in a thoroughly counterproductive way".
Kuranda Seyit, the secretary of the Islamic Council of Victoria, said the principles of free speech should allow the Dutchman to come.
But he told the BBC that although he considered the ALA to be a fringe group, he was wary of its views on Islam.
"Relatively speaking they are small and their impact on social cohesion will be quite minimal. However, similar to a mosquito, once it bites you it can be quite irritating and can turn into a rash," he said.
"So we need to be careful and vigilant about this because we don't want them to grow or spread."
Far-right politicians in Australia typically fail at the ballot box.
There are some exceptions, most notably Pauline Hanson, a flame-haired former fish-and-chip shop owner from Brisbane whose anti-immigration One Nation Party had some successes in the late 1990s, winning 22% of the vote in a Queensland state election.
But it soon went sour. Public support waned, and in 2003 Ms Hanson went to prison for electoral fraud, although her convictions were overturned on appeal.
Duncan McDonnell, a senior lecturer at Griffith University in Brisbane, believes the current crop of far-right groups have little chance of electoral success.
"They don't have the type of charismatic leaders that most European radical right parties that have been successful have got," he said.
The Australian Liberty Alliance became a registered party in July and does have parliamentary ambitions, but hasn't divulged the strength of its membership, saying only that it was "growing steadily".
"This party derives from an anti-Islam organisation called Q Society," Mr McDonnell explained. "It has tried to model its policy platform very much on what Wilders has done in the Netherlands with the Party for Freedom."
"These aren't particularly articulate or capable people. They are rabble-rousers at best," he added bluntly.
They are not the only organisation on the far-right political fringe, which includes Reclaim Australia and the United Patriots Front, who recently held a protest against the building of a mosque in the Victorian town of Bendigo.
Nick Folkes, the chairman of the Party for Freedom - which has no formal link with its Dutch namesake - also campaigns against what he describes as the islamisation of Australia.
"It's crazy. We are losing our identity," he told the BBC News website. "I don't think we are racist at all, and we have a right to speak up and say we're not happy with the government."
To some, Geert Wilders is a hero, to many others he is dangerous and divisive.
Frank Mols, a lecturer in political science at the University of Queensland, went to the same high school as the Dutch MP, and believes his visit to Perth is designed to impress voters back home in the Netherlands.
"Partly the reason is to get credibility [and] the fact that he is invited overseas is one way he can show the domestic audience that he is reputable man who has a reputation worldwide for what he believes in," said Mr Mols.
Despite the urgings by the government in Canberra, a tendency persists in certain quarters to link all of Islam with extremism.
Franks Mols has warned that far-right groups will increasingly try to exploit community tensions.
"Certainly given the attention at the moment to terror plots and suspects, and laws about whether younger and younger people have to be monitored or detained is adding to that general anxiety that those parties will tap into," he said.
It's unclear if Geert Wilders's visit will provoke protests in Perth, but Australia will be wary of the divisive views he brings at a time when the nation tries to both handle an increasingly vocal Islamaphobic element and to work out how to stop marginalised young Muslims falling prey to extremism.


Victims of domestic abuse in England and Wales are "still being let down" by the police, Theresa May has said.

The home secretary said improvements had been made since a 2013 review but "examples of the same shameful attitude" persisted.
She has ordered an investigation into one of the issues - officers who develop inappropriate relationships with victims.
Women's Aid said it routinely saw victims let down by police.
Mrs May told the Police Federation's annual conference: "Victims of abuse are still being let down and reports are not being taken seriously enough.
"The right skills, training and commitment to protect the vulnerable are still not held by every single police officer."
Think of Hillsborough, May tells police
Referring to the findings of the 2013 review, by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC), into the way police handled domestic abuse, Mrs May spoke of "officers who couldn't spot dangerous patterns of abuse".
"Victims who weren't treated with dignity and respect," she continued.
"And the shameful attitude of some officers towards victims who had suffered violence and psychological abuse. The officers who accidentally recorded themselves calling a victim 'a bitch' and 'a slag'. The victim who overheard the responding officer say: 'It's a DV, we'll be a few minutes and we'll go to the next job'."
I have been the victim of domestic abuse since 2008.
It began with verbal abuse, then my partner become controlling and then sexual and physical in his abuse.
I was frightened for my life as he said he wanted to hit me and kill me.
I was in contact with the police throughout the time, and at first they were helpful and referred me to various services.
Social services helped me move out of the family home, after my children had said, "daddy strangled mummy".
In January, I told a police officer that my partner had raped me. But he advised me not to report it, saying it wouldn't "do the kids any favours" to hear that their father was a rapist.
That made me feel trapped. I just felt nobody appreciated the severity of what I was going through.
Eventually I did report the rape to the police. And now I have legal aid to help fight for my children.
I just want someone to care. I can't do it all on my own.
In her speech to the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file police officers, the home secretary said the police had "listened" and "acted" and "real improvements" had been made since the review.
Every police force in England and Wales now had an action plan to tackle domestic abuse, she said, and they were collecting standardised data.
"We are seeing more victims coming forward, more crimes being properly recorded and more convictions," she said.
She quoted some figures from last year - police forces in England and Wales received more than 100 calls an hour about domestic abuse and domestic abuse cases made up about one in three violent crimes with injury. Police officers recorded more than 100,000 sexual offences.
However, the home secretary said reports of domestic abuse were still "not being taken seriously enough".
"We continue to see examples of the same shameful attitude that HMIC uncovered in 2013," she said.
"We know of officers who develop inappropriate relationships with victims of domestic abuse. They have ignored their professional duty and their moral responsibility and instead abused their position of power to exploit victims.
"We do not know the true scale of this, but everyone in this room will know it goes on far more than we might care to admit."
Mrs May said she had now asked the HMIC, headed by  Sir Tom Winsor, to investigate this issue.
Speaking generally about the treatment of other vulnerable people, including the victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, she said: "As HMIC found last year, not a single police force in England and Wales is outstanding at protecting those who are vulnerable from harm and supporting victims, and 31 forces are judged to be either inadequate or requiring improvement."
The government defines domestic violence and abuse as controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members, regardless of gender or sexuality.
The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC), which represents senior officers, said it was important that police understood what was going on in domestic violence cases, listened to victims and looked for signs of coercion or control.
Its chairwoman, Chief Constable Sara Thornton, said: "Last year, HMIC found that the police had significantly improved their response to domestic abuse: treating it as an 'important priority' and achieving better support for victims."
Domestic violence charity Refuge said it applauded the commitment shown by Mrs May to improving the police response.
Chief executive Sandra Horley said: "Refuge is pleased that the home secretary has shown strong leadership on this issue, and is continuing to scrutinise the police response to domestic violence.
Polly Neate, chief executive of charity Women's Aid, said: "We routinely work with victims of domestic abuse who have been let down by the police. Whilst there have been improvements in some areas, there is still a long way to go."
Mark Brooks, chairman of Mankind Initiative, said: "We are pleased that the home secretary emphasised the need for police to continue to improve the support for all victims of domestic abuse, as in the past the emphasis has been on supporting just female victims."
Also in her speech, Mrs May told the conference that the Hillsborough disaster should be a "touchstone" for everything the police do.
Officers must never forget the victims and must put professionalism at the heart of every decision, she said.
In April, the inquests in to the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield found they were unlawfully killed.
She said police had failed to put justice first, obstructing investigations and trying to blame fans for what had happened.


A call to reopen the investigation into the Birmingham pub bombings is being considered by the prime minister.

Relatives of some of the 21 people killed in the bombings have compiled a dossier of their case, which is being read by David Cameron.
Nearly 40 years after the attack, the family of one of the victims, Maxine Hambleton, are campaigning for the case to be reopened.
A spokesperson for the prime minister confirmed he had received the report.
The bombings took place at two pubs - The Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town - on 21 November 1974.
Miss Hambleton, described as "kind, full of life and funny" by her family, had gone to the Tavern in the Town on the night of the attack, which left 182 people injured.
It is still not known who was behind the bombings.
Six men from Northern Ireland, known as the Birmingham Six, who were convicted of the attack in 1975, were freed by the Court of Appeal in 1991, after their convictions were ruled unsafe.
Now the family of Miss Hambleton, who was 18 when she died, are working together with one of the Birmingham Six, Paddy Hill, to campaign for the case to be reopened.
"If [the police] did everything that was humanly possible, how come the perpetrators are still out there with their liberty?" said Julie Hambleton, Maxine's sister.
"It's very very hard... I'm stuck in a kind of limbo," added her brother Brian. "I've always had the sense that the people in power thought we would go away.
"But we are still here and we won't go away. I will be fighting this until the day I die."
The Hambletons have met Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson, who passed their dossier to David Cameron earlier this year.
He told the BBC: "There's every reason there should be an investigation."
Evidence is also being reviewed by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit. A previous police investigation closed in 1994, with no prosecutions.
Marcus Beale, assistant chief constable, said: "We have been gathering together all the material from the investigations in 1974, the latter investigations in the late 80s and the further work that was done in the 90s by West Midlands Police.
"We'll go with reinvestigating if that's the right thing to do."


National League club Eastleigh insist ongoing problems with their pitch will be addressed before the visit of Tranmere Rovers visit on Saturday.

Kick-off was delayed for the game against Dagenham  & Redbridge after drainage issues in one corner.
"There's an area of concern, but we won't have to dig the pitch up completely," chief executive Mark Jewell told BBC Radio Solent.
The sides drew 2-2 after referee David Rock passed the pitch fit.
The club experienced problems with the pitch in pre-season when games against AFC Wimbledon and Portsmouth were cancelled.
Hot weather in early July followed by a prolonged spell of rain in August have affected the surface.
"It's been the extremes of weather really that's hampered us," Jewell admitted.
"We've got a very high water table in this area. After a fair bit of rain in the past week, there's one spot of the newly-laid surface that isn't draining as well as everywhere else.
"The ground staff have been working on spiking it and trying to get as much air into the roots as possible to encourage growth.
"We're in a clay-based area where unfortunately there's a layer of water sitting above the clay, but below the turf in one area."
Rock was happy to let the game go ahead after ground staff did some remedial work following the warm-up.
"It's not my job to say it's not playable," Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still said.
"The paramount thing for me is player safety and the issue was the referee should make that final decision.
"He did and we went on to play the game, which is fine with me."


The Police Service of Northern Ireland has started to phase in local policing teams (LPTs).

The changes come as part of what the police force has called the "biggest shake-up" in policing in years.
The PSNI said the teams will "deal with community problems" and give "advice".
The first LPTs to launch will be based in Lurgan and Armagh city police stations in County Armagh. They will be supported by four mobile neighbourhood policing teams (NPTs).
The roll-out of all 26 LPTs is expected to be completed by 1 October.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said policing in Northern Ireland is in a process of "transformation" due to "significant budget pressures" and new council structures.
He said "normal policing will carry on" and the new teams will respond to calls, conduct investigations, and "deal with community problems".
"They will provide advice and reassurance and spend time learning about what most affects communities in order to work with them to improve safety and quality of life," he said.
The 34 NPTs, which will be based in areas with higher levels of crime and deprivation, are to be set up with the aim of providing "an additional dedicated policing presence, reassurance and commitment to communities where it is most needed".
ACC Martin said restructuring means the number of police stations currently in existence is under review.
"The reality is that nearly all policing services are delivered outside of stations," he added.
"Policing isn't about buildings it is about officers working with the community in the community."


Members of the "Cambridge Five" spy ring were seen by their Soviet handlers as hopeless drunks incapable of keeping secrets, newly-released files suggest.

Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, "Kim" Philby and Anthony Blunt were recruited as Soviet spies while at Cambridge University in the 1930s.
There may have been a fifth spy in the ring, possibly John Cairncross.
Documents from the Mitrokhin Archive have been made publicly available for the first time.
The FBI described them as the most complete intelligence ever received.
Major Vasili Mitrokhin smuggled the information out of Soviet archives during 12 years working for the KGB.
He defected to Britain in 1992.
Among the thousands of pages of documents are profiles outlining the characteristics of Britons who spied for the Soviet Union.
They include references to Donald Duart Maclean and Guy Burgess, two of the five men recruited while studying at the University of Cambridge during the 1930s.
A short passage describes Burgess as a man "constantly under the influence of alcohol".
Written in Russian, it goes on to recount one occasion when Burgess drunkenly risked exposing his double identity.
"Once on his way out of a pub, he managed to drop one of the files of documents he had taken from the Foreign Office on the pavement," translator Svetlana Lokhova explained.
Moving on to Maclean, the note describes him as "not very good at keeping secrets".
It adds he was "constantly drunk" and binged on alcohol.
It was believed he had told one of his lovers and his brother about his work as a Soviet agent while he was the worse for wear, the file adds.
The notes also provide an insight into the extent of the group's activity as they helped the KGB penetrate the UK's intelligence network at the highest level.
They describe how Burgess alone handed over 389 top secret documents to the KGB in the first six months of 1945 along with a further 168 in December 1949.
Along with Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt and a fifth man, thought by many to have been John Cairncross, the Cambridge Five passed information about the UK to the Soviet Union throughout World War Two and into at least the 1950s.
After being recruited during their studies, the group went on to occupy positions within the Foreign Office, MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS).
Shortly before the end of the war, Philby was promoted to head of the SIS's anti-Soviet section - meaning he was in charge of running operations against the Soviets while operating as a KGB agent.
Mitrokhin was a senior archivist in the KGB's foreign intelligence HQ and had unlimited access to thousands of files from a global network of spies and intelligence-gathering operations.
He became disillusioned with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and began handwriting notes from the files which he believed would be of use to foreign intelligence.
