Walthamstow Town Centre in London, UK is to be transformed by a major redevelopment scheme. This mixed-use development, designed by Pollard Thomas Edwards architects (PTEa), was awarded planning permission with a unanimous vote on behalf of clients Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association and Hill Residential.
The scheme is now on site and under construction with completion due in Spring/Summer 2015. The re-development of the Arcade Site in Walthamstow includes a multiplex cinema, 18,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space and 121 mixed-tenure residential units.
Of the 121 flats and houses, 50 will be affordable or shared ownership and the remainder will be privately owned. The flats and houses will be raised above street level, sitting atop the public amenities and overlooking a communal garden at the rear.
The design follows the principles outlined for the masterplan of Walthamstow Town Centre. The site of the development is on the corner of Hoe Street and Walthamstow High Street, the home of Europe's longest outdoor street market. The development will bring new life to the existing community, encourage economic growth and investment in the area and create many new employment opportunities.
Pollard Thomas Edwards architects' design was the winning entry of a competition run by the London Borough of Waltham Forest for the Walthamstow Town Centre Arcade site and responds to a council developed brief.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: Red Sox are expecting better in 2014By DAVE D'DONOFRIO
Special to The Union Leader
March 29. 2014 9:23PM
Recent history tells us that when the Red Sox are beckoned to the baseline on Monday afternoon in Baltimore, and the new season starts for real, it will mark the beginning of a regression.
After all, no team has repeated as World Series champions since the Yankees of 2000. Only five of the 33 teams to win at least 97games in a season since then have done it again the next year. No Sox team has won 97 or more in consecutive seasons since the 1977 and '78 squads.
Based on all that alone - not to mention how difficult it will likely be for the Sox to replicate the attitude and environment that cultivated their worst-to-first success - the expectation is the Sox won't be quite as good this time, whether that's an evaluation made by their win total or a world title.
But, then, history is constantly being made anew. And when remembering everything that these Red Sox overcame en route to their rings, a conceivable case could be made that the 2013 championship might've been more improbable than a 2014 repeat would be.
A lot of it has been glossed over now, understandably lost in the luster of a team that led its division almost wire to wire, won the AL East by a wide margin, finished with baseball's best scoring margin, and never even faced elimination in three playoff series. But the path to dominance wasn't paved nearly as smoothly as those facts make it seem in our memories. It wasn't quite so easy. There were issues - on-field issues - and they impacted every area of the roster.
Remember, it was on opening day a year ago that Dustin Pedroia tore a muscle in his thumb when diving into first base, and while he played through that - admirably, and well - it compromised his power. As a result, the Red Sox finished the season with just 12 home runs from their No. 3 hitters, the fewest in baseball, and with a .780 on-base plus slugging that was below the league average for that slot in the order.
Meanwhile, David Ortiz missed the first three weeks of the season while recovering from a heel injury. Stephen Drew opened the year on the disabled list, too, then wound up back there again in July. David Ross, whose immense value was ultimately proven in October, missed a couple of months because of concussion symptoms. Jacoby Ellsbury broke a bone in his foot in early September.
And all the while, third base was a black hole. Will Middlebrooks was disabled, then demoted, by mid-year, so while the East was still very much a race there was a 36-game stretch where 28 games were started by either Brock Holt, Brandon Snyder or Jonathan Diaz.
Yet the Red Sox wound up scoring more runs than any other team, and at the same time their starting pitching finished with the fourth-best earned run average in the American League despite losing one of the AL's best starters for three months when Clay Buchholz and his 1.71 ERA were sidelined by discomfort in his neck and shoulder.
Making things even more difficult was the fact that Buchholz' health concerns overlapped with an eight-start stretch during which Jon Lester posted a 6.99 ERA, so, for the better part of six weeks, the Sox were essentially without either of the two starters they projected to comprise the top of their rotation. And overall throughout the course of the year, they were forced to count on 15 starts from the combination of Allen Webster, Alfredo Aceves, Steven Wright and Franklin Morales, plus three more from Brandon Workman.
Workman ultimately wound up in the bullpen - and pitching big innings in the World Series - which says something about the unsettled nature of the Boston relief corps. Neither Workman nor Drake Britton had pitched above Double-A at the start of last June, yet they were candidates for important roles come August and September.
That was in part because closers Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey both went down with serious arm injuries, and while Koji Uehara replaced them with one of the best seasons a relief pitcher has ever had, the transition created holes in the setup roles, as well as questions that weren't answered until the final days of the regular season. Also exacerbating the issues was that the team's most dominant lefty reliever, Andrew Miller, missed the second half after breaking his ankle.
Beyond Uehara there weren't a lot of clear solutions when John Farrell called upon his bullpen, so it's a credit to the Sox that we remember them for being so clutch and resilient, most vividly in their 11 regular-season walkoff wins and on the several instances they delivered with the game on the line in the postseason.
But in reality, they weren't so unbelievable in that aspect that they couldn't repeat it again. Last year's Sox won only two more games when trailing after seven (7) or eight (5) innings than did the brutal Sox team of the year prior. In fact, looking at the last three years, the 2013 edition won fewer games coming from behind (36) than either the 2012 (37) or 2011 (42) outfit did. And neither of those teams will exactly be remembered for its guts, guile and ability to pull games from the flames.
Of course, other factors will arise this year. There will be injuries and there will be disappointments. There will be players who don't quite live up to the level they were at last year, with drop-offs particularly possible in the cases of Uehara and Ortiz (both of whom are a year older), Daniel Nava (whose league-leaderboard numbers were somewhat inflated by a .352 average on balls in play), and Mike Carp (who was better than expected off the bench).
But all of those players could - and should - still be plenty good enough to again make major contributions. So if Pedroia is fully healed, if Middlebrooks can successfully hold his job, if Xander Bogaerts can be as steady as Drew at shortstop, if Ross can remain healthy, if Lester can be consistent, if Buchholz can make 28 starts, if Miller returns to form, if Edward Mujica adds definition to the bullpen and if the attitude is right, the road might actually be more manageable this time - and this Red Sox club might just be capable of making history.

A historic convergence of technology trends is sparking a new retail era: the explosion of mobile technologies, the spread of social networks, a new generation of advanced analytics and the disruptive nature of "the cloud." The transformation to this new era is well underway, with consumers already using and expecting even more innovation from today's retailers.
The latest IBM Institute for Business Value Global Consumer Study investigates shoppers' omnichannel expectations to find out how imminent is the arrival of this new retailing era. We surveyed 30,554 consumers in 16 countries to discover their attitudes about shopping, particularly as it pertains to adopting omnichannel capabilities.
To determine the level of omnichannel adoption, we asked consumers where they made their last purchase. We find that the store still rules but it is losing share precipitously. The percentage of respondents who last shopped in a physical store declined from 85 percent in 2012 to 72 percent in 2013. The real winner was the online channel, which saw its share nearly double to 27 percent of shoppers versus 14 percent last year.
It is becoming all the more critical for retailers to connect with consumers one-on-one. IBM investigated three contact methods: Social handle, Location and Mobile number (SoLoMo) and found that shoppers' SoLoMo adoption levels ultimately revealed four distinct consumer groups:
- Traditional (19 percent of study population) – Uses least amount of technology while shopping.
- Transitioning (40 percent) – Uses technology mostly to gather research and other information.
- Tech-intrigued (29 percent) – Uses SoLoMo from browsing to buying.
- Trailblazers (12 percent) – Uses SoLoMo extensively, including as a retailer evaluation tool.
In particular, the Trailblazers stood out based on their high expectations that retailers provide SoLoMo capabilities. Trailblazers are the ones leading the path to an era of "self-serve" retail. Of all four groups, we see Trailblazers as the future of shoppers. Yet, it's only a matter of time before many in the middle two groups (representing 69 percent of respondents) have the same level of expectations as Trailblazers.

I can't speak for every Green Lantern fan, but after Johns' decade of crossover after crossover and epic storyline after epic storyline, I'm really finding it hard to care at this point. The status quo never lasts more than two issues before the universe explodes.
by Grayson » Wed Oct 09, 2013 2:18 pm
I agree with this. Up until Blackest Night, Green Lantern titles and Green Lantern Corps were consistently two of my favorite monthly titles. Things started to get a little weird around the introduction of the Alpha Lanterns but it didn't bother me that much. Unfortunately, the books haven't really regained the momentum that they had going into Blackest Night and I don't see it happening when these books are basically in constant crossover mode. I really would have liked for the new creative teams to have been allowed to let their respective titles stand on their own for awhile before diving right back into it.
by fieldy snuts » Wed Oct 09, 2013 8:33 pm
yeah same. i almost dropped out after rise of the third army because it was another filler crossover for another crossover, then i learned it'd be johns last work on the book so i stuck by it.
then i saw in the solicits for his successors that there'd be another mega crossover and i just said "fuck it" and bailed once again.
i just don't care about green lantern anymore. at all.

They blew up Mogo, are you thinking of that?
by Grayson » Thu Oct 10, 2013 11:33 am
Yeah but he got better.
by GOSD » Thu Oct 10, 2013 11:39 amYeah, I have to agree. I loved GL about 5 years ago but it's been going downhill ever since
The First Lantern storyline was BORING and the all-powerful villian vs. the GL's is getting tiresome.
Anti-Monitor, Superboy, Nekron, First Lantern, Relic....
by Punchy » Thu Oct 10, 2013 3:02 pm'Lights Out' continues to be a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be. I really was burnt out on the constant Green Lantern crossovers, but here, big stuff is happening in every issue.
This time out, Oa fucking explodes! This was set up in the cliff-hanger of last week's Green Lantern, but still, it was surprising when it actually happened. These new writers have only been around for 4 months, and they really are changing things, I'm digging it. The plot of this issue was fairly simple, but that's not an issue, the GLC have a major threat to fight, and they come up with a plan, and execute it. The plan is to have John Stewart and his new recruits distract Relic, giving enough time for the injured GLs to get to the Citadel (which is a space-ship!) and for everyone else to escape.
John and his gang succeed, but at a cost, Jruk loses his arm, and Ergann sacrifices himself. Since the character of Ergann has only been around for 3 issues, it was hard to get too choked up by his death, but Jensen and Venditti try their darnedest, and do somewhat succeed. So what next for the Green Lanterns? Oa is destroyed, they have no way to charge their batteries, where are they going to go? The last page seems to indicate that the Indigo Tribe hold the answers, which should be interesting.
The artwork from Bernard Chang contributed a lot to the success of this issue, I really like his style, his depiction of Relic is the best yet, and he really got across the huge scale of this fight. I particularly liked the constant use of orange-coloured insert panels showing various different GLs in action against Relic's spider-robot-thingies.
As I said, this crossover really is impressing me, these new writers are not afraid of stepping into Geoff Johns' big boots, and it's exciting to see things really get shaken up.
by Draco x » Thu Oct 10, 2013 8:24 pm
Yeah that's what I meant. At the end of Zero Hour I believe.
by syxxpakk » Sun Oct 13, 2013 9:36 pmThis was great. The stakes have been raised significantly, the Lanterns are on the run... It feels almost like the Autobots not knowing how to face down Unicron. I didn't know if I would enjoy the post-Johns Era, but thus far it's been a hit!

LOS ANGELES — From the moment he first stepped in front of the judges and unleashed a folksy take on Michael Jackson's "Thriller," guitar-playing crooner Phillip Phillips seemed preordained to win "American Idol," and not just because he's another white guy with a guitar, the all-too-familiar profile of the previous four "Idol" champions.
"I'm just lucky," the former pawn shop worker said Wednesday night in his backstage dressing room after his win.
It was more than just luck that helped Phillips easily overcome 16-year-old mini-diva Jessica Sanchez to become the Fox talent competition's 11th season victor. The combination of his goofy personality, ah-shucks Southern humility, rebelliousness, risk-taking originality and, yes, those good looks kept him at the front of the pack all season long.
While he is indeed a WGWG — the "Idol" fan term for "white guys with guitars" — Phillips differentiated himself with a musical style that was grittier than past winners David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze and Scotty McCreery, as well his competitors with much wider vocal ranges, like gospel singer Joshua Ledet and soaring vocalist Hollie Cavanagh.
Mostly, Phillips was just so darn charming. When given the opportunity, he always excelled at genuinely letting his personality shine through on the show, often as much of a challenge as hitting the right notes. He established a silly bromance with finalist Heejun Han and seemed downright distraught at the unexpected dismissal of alt-rocker Colten Dixon.
Despite Sanchez's unstoppable voice and a savvy-beyond-her-years approach, she was essentially living on borrowed time after she was supposed to be eliminated but was saved by the judges. She realized that during Top Three week.
"I told Phillip, 'You're gonna win this whole thing,' and he was like, 'Nah, I'm not,'" recalled Sanchez backstage. "I'm like, 'Yes, you are.' I don't think he totally believed that, and I totally believed it. I just went out in this competition after that moment and just sang. Phillip's gonna win, anyway. I might as well just sing my heart out."
The total votes for each singer weren't released, but it was likely a landslide for Phillips, who accomplished his feat despite serious kidney problems that plagued him all season.
Several online outfits predicted he would take home the top prize: the "Idol" title and a record contract. DialIdol.com, which tracks busy signals on the phone lines dedicated to each contestant, correctly projected Phillips as the winner Wednesday morning.
The Leesburg, Ga., native never appeared at the bottom of the pack, a testament not only to his die-hard fan base that kept him safe but also to some of his more talked-about performances. Like the time he turned Usher's "U Got It Bad" into an acoustic ditty or unleashed a flawless take on the obscure — for "Idol," anyway — Damien Rice tune "Volcano."
"I'm excited to do my album," said Phillips. "I know it's going to be challenging because a lot of opinions will be coming my way, but it's like the show, I know my music. I know how I want it. I'm not trying to win Grammys or be famous or anything."
Phillips' future success, as with all "Idol" winners before him, will be determined by record sales, not viewer votes. With his folksy singer-songwriter leanings, Phillips could capture the public's attention in the same way that Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Mumford and Sons have or, like ninth season winner DeWyze, he could just fade into obscurity.

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
City of Boston,
v. Docket No. CR-06-408
Boston Retirement Board,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Scott C. Merrill, Esq.
Foley Hoag LLP
Seaport World Trade Center West
155 Seaport Blvd.
Boston, MA 02210-2600
Appearance for Respondent:
Edward McKenna, Esq.
66 N Street
Boston, MA 02127
Appearance for Intervenors:
Paul T. Hynes, Esq.
45 Bromfield St., Floors 8 & 9
Boston, MA 02108-4106
Administrative Magistrate:
Kimberly A. Fletcher, Esq.
On June 29, 2006, the City of Boston appealed the decision of the Boston Retirement Board approving the petition of the Boston School Police for Group 2 classification. The City appealed timely under the provisions of G.L. c. 32, § 16(4) (Ex. 1). On November 16, 2006, I allowed the motion to intervene filed on behalf of the Boston School Police Union. On the first day of hearing, May 1, 2007, held at the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston, I allowed the amended motion to intervene to include the following members of the Boston School Police Union: David Rainsford, William Jackson and Gerard Lightford. On May 1, 2007, I admitted nine documents into evidence (Exs. 1 - 9. On July 12, 2007, an appendix was added to Ex. 2).
On July 10, 2007, I allowed the Boston Retirement Board's motion to quash the subpoena of its Chairman. The following individuals testified at the second day of hearing held on July 12, 2007: Paul Fitzgerald, Deputy Superintendent in the Boston Police Department and David Rainsford, Captain in the Boston School Police. Exhibits 10 - 20 were admitted. The Petitioner's pre-hearing memorandum is "A" for identification; the Respondent's pre-hearing memorandum is "B" for identification; and the Intervenor's pre-hearing memorandum is "C" for identification. There are two tapes of the hearing. Post-hearing memoranda were received and the record closed on October 15, 2007.
Findings of Fact
1. The Boston School Police ("BSP") force was established in 1978 to address the safety and security of approximately 136 schools and to establish a safe learning environment for over 63,000 students (Ex. 2).
2. The BSP is a division under the Department of Safety Services. The Chief of the Department of Safety Services is John Sisco, a civilian, who answers to the CEO of the Boston School Department who answers to the Superintendent of Schools (Ex. 2 and Fitzgerald, testimony).
3. The first five responsibilities of a School Police Officer as noted on the position description are:
• Takes appropriate action in the event of a disturbance or
incident as directed by Principal, Headmaster, or Chief of
Safety Services in accordance with the building security plan
and Department of Safety Service's procedures.
• Observes and reports any potential problem in or around the
School and effects appropriate action when necessary.
• Submits written reports as required by the Department of
Safety Services.
• Serves on emergency school support team as directed by Chief
of Safety Services.
• Investigates incidents as directed (Ex. 6).
4. There are 62 officers, 20 superior officers and five administrators in the BSP (Ex. 2).
5. The primary goal of the BSP is school-based community policing. BSP officers serve as a visible uniformed law enforcement presence in each school, as members of the faculty and administrative team working hand in hand to solve problems in the school community, as resources for law-related issues, as professional role models for students, and as teachers of safety education classes (Ex. 18).
6. Prior to becoming a BSP officer, an applicant fills out an application with the Boston School Department and undergoes a CORI check. It is not a Civil Service position. An applicant must attend a two-week course of training; there are no physical requirements (Fitzgerald, testimony).
7. An applicant to the Boston Police Department must pass a Civil Service exam, undergo a background investigation, and pass physical standards and a psychological evaluation. A Boston Police cadet attends a six-month course of training at the police academy prior to becoming a Boston police officer. The police academy has rigorous physical requirements (Fitzgerald, testimony).
8. BSP officers attend week-long annual training (Rainsford, testimony).
9. BSP officers do not carry firearms; they carry handcuffs and mace (Fitzgerald, testimony).
10. BSP officers cannot obtain warrants (Fitzgerald, testimony).
11. The BSP has about four or five motor vehicles in which supervisors travel to and from the various schools. The radios do not have Boston Police Department frequency (Fitzgerald, testimony).
12. The BSP officers work primarily during the daytime with a supervisor working a 4:00 to 11:00 p.m. shift. On occasion, a BSP officer is deployed to an evening athletic event, a dance or a PTA meeting (Fitzgerald and Rainsford, testimony).
13. The Quinn Bill is available to Boston police officers but not to BSP officers (Fitzgerald, testimony).
14. BSP officers are not subject to drug testing. Boston Police Officers are subject to drug testing (Rainsford, testimony).
15. BSP officers are licensed pursuant to the Boston Police Department's Rule 400A pertaining to "Special Officers Employed by the City of Boston or the Boston Housing Authority." Licenses issued to BSP officers are subject to annual renewal and may be revoked by the Boston Police Department (Ex. 9).
16. Pursuant to Rule 400A, BSP officers have the power to "make arrests, preserve order and enforce the laws of the Commonwealth and the ordinance of the City of Boston limited to the premises or locality specified in the license." The jurisdiction of the BSP is limited to school property (Ex. 9 and Fitzgerald, testimony).
17. If there is a dangerous situation on school property including the presence of a firearm, a BSP officer would deal with it immediately. If there is a prolonged search for a suspect, a BSP officer would call the Boston Police (Fitzgerald, testimony).
18. If a BSP officer finds drugs on a person on school property, he or she would make the arrest and log the drugs in with the Boston Police Department (Fitzgerald, testimony).
19. In approximately 2000, Paul Fitzgerald, currently Deputy Superintendent in the Major Case Division of the Boston Police Department, created a School Police Unit due to the fact that violence in the schools was on the rise. The purpose of the unit was for Boston Police officers and BSP officers to share information and collaborate (Fitzgerald, testimony).
20. In the 2002 Boston Police Annual Report, it was noted that as a result of the collaborative efforts of the School Police Unit, Boston's schools experienced an almost 10 per cent drop in overall incidents (Ex. 20).
21. At some point in 2005, the BSP Union sought Group 4 classification for its members. On October 13, 2005, the BSP Union amended its request to seek Group 2 classification from the Boston Retirement Board (Ex. 2).
22. On June 19, 2006, the Boston Retirement Board approved the petition of the BSP for Group 2 classification. On June 30, 2006, the City of Boston filed a timely appeal (Ex. 1).
Conclusion and Order
The decision of the Boston Retirement Board classifying the BSP for retirement purposes in Group 2 is reversed. The City of Boston has shown that the Boston Retirement Board erred in so classifying the BSP and that the correct classification for the BSP is Group 1.
Employees are classified for retirement purposes in groups 1 through 4 according to G.L. c. 32, § 3(2)(g). Group 1 contains, "[o]fficials and general employees including clerical, administrative and technical workers, laborers, mechanics and all others not otherwise classified."
Group 2 contains:
Public works building police; permanent watershed guards and permanent park police; University of Massachusetts police; employees of the Massachusetts Port Authority, comprising guards, guard sergeants, head guard and chief of waterfront police;…officers and employees of the general court having police powers; employees of the commonwealth or of any county,…whose regular and major duties require them to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of prisoners;…
Group 4 includes:
Division of law enforcement of the department of fisheries, wildlife and recreational vehicles…employees of the Massachusetts Port Authority at the General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, comprising permanent crash crewmen, fire control men, assistant fire control men; members of police and fire departments not classified in Group 1; any police officer of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority… (emphasis added).
The Intervenors contend that they should be classified in Group 4 because they perform an important public safety function by responding to incidents and emergency calls and by performing police duties. The Legislature, however, "has consistently described employees falling within Group 4 by naming their positions or titles rather than by describing the type of work they perform." Gaw v. Contributory Retirement Appeal Board, 4 Mass. App. Ct., 250, 345 N.E.2d 908 (1976). Unfortunately for the Intervenors, the title of Boston School Police is not found within Group 4. I find that they are not within the parameters of "members of police and fire departments not classified in Group 1." The BSP is a division under the Department of Safety Services.
The Chief of the Department of Safety Services is a civilian who answers to the CEO of the Boston School Department who answers to the Superintendent of Schools. Although undoubtedly the BSP perform an important public safety function, I conclude that the job training, requirements, duties and functions of the BSP are not consistent with those of police departments in the Commonwealth that have been classified in Group 4.
At one point, the Intervenors argued that they should be classified in Group 2 because they were "public works building police." Although the BSP have jurisdiction in the public schools of Boston, and although the schools are public buildings, the BSP are not "public works building police."
Not only did the Legislature consistently describe employees falling within Group 4 by naming their positions or titles rather than by describing the type of work they perform, "the same is true of those included in Group 2," subject to two exceptions. Gaw, supra. The two exceptions pertain to state and county employees, not municipal employees, whose regular and major duties require them to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of prisoners, parolees or persons who are mentally ill, mentally defective or defective delinquents or wayward children.
The job title of Boston School Police is not found in Group 2 (nor in Group 4). The decision of the Boston Retirement Board classifying the BSP in Group 2 is therefore reversed; the correct classification is Group 1.

PSV wonderkid Riechedly Bazoer is weighing up offers from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, Goal.com can reveal.
The 16-year-old central defender was shown around the Premier League champions' headquarters last Sunday and is set to visit the two London giants imminently.
Bazoer was offered a three-year professional contract by PSV after turning 16 last month and will now decide whether to stay in his homeland or move to one of the elite English clubs.
The youngster, who is regarded as the jewel of PSV's prolific youth system, is expected to make his choice in the next fortnight.
However, speaking to Goal.com last month, the Dutch club's sporting director Marcel Brands warned the teenager to choose first-team prospects over money.
Brands said: "We have offered him a professional contract now he has turned 16. I speak with the family, the boy and his agents. We hope we will get an answer soon.
"What is his intention? Is it to develop or go for bigger money in England? You have to ask him and his agent which clubs are interested in him. I don't know and it doesn't matter.
"It is his choice and the agent will do their best for the player. The only thing we can do is offer him good possibilities in terms of coaching and prospects.
Dutch rules prevent clubs in the country from offering contracts longer than three years for players under the age of 18 and Fifa rules stipulate that the maximum compensation fee payable for transfers involving academy players is €364,000.
Bazoer has also attracted interest from marquee clubs in Spain and Italy but has decided to snub their interest because of the language barrier.
The centre-back, who speaks English, is weighing up whether to stay at PSV or opt for the greater glamour and riches of the Premier League.
City are believed to be marginal favourites in the race for Bazoer's signature, although the growing interest of Chelsea could prove decisive. Newcastle United were also on the trail of the youngster but are no longer seriously in the running.
Bazoer is regarded as the defensive star in PSV's prolific youth system, which lost Andreas Pereira to Manchester United last year.
He made his debut for Holland Under-17s as a 15-year-old in March and played in all five matches for the team that went on to win the European Under-17 championships in the summer.

This resort, as one of Maui's most popular tourist destinations, offers excellent shopping and dining. Enjoy the white sand beaches that grace the shorelines of Kihei. Stroll along these sandy stretches next to the clear Pacific. These beaches usually have warm water temperatures which combine with the clarity of the water to create great snorkeling and diving areas.
Because it is leeward, Kehei and Wailea have a dry and sunny climate with an annual rainfall of only 14". This is the lowest of any region in Maui. Daytime temperatures range from about 27C/80F in the winter to 32C/90F in the summer.
Kihei - When we first came here in the days before time, shopping in Kihei was an idea whose time hadn't come. Now, there are seven (count 'em, seven) strip malls with more shops than you can count. Certainly more than you can get through in a few days. We can't keep track, but here's a quick guide.
Azeka Place - In 1950, Kihei was a little beach town with a dirt road. Bill Azeka opened his first store. Used to be the place to stop and get a hamburger on the way to the beaches. Today Azeka Place is Kihei's largest shopping center with over 50 shops and restaurants.
Lipoa Shopping Center - Home to Hapa'a Brew Haus, a Japanese restaurant and several shops.
Kukui Mall - Across the street from Kalama Beach Park, you'll find the Kukui Mall with a triplex movie theater, Waldenbooks, Local Motion, Subway, Tempo Music and many other shops and family dining spots.
Kihei Town Center - Offering a selection of shops with sporting goods, jewelry, novelties, groceries and clothing.
Dolphin Plaza - Deli, tacos, sushi, pizza and shops.
Rainbow Mall - Shave ice, espresso, subs, Thai and African food plus video rental.
Kama'ole Beach Shopping Center - A general store, dive shop, clothing and several restaurants including the Cinnamon Roll Faire.

Go ahead and post a picture. Just be aware that how a latch looks on the outside doesn't necessarily tell you much about what it feels like on the inside- you can have a textbook perfect latch on the outside that feels awful on the inside, and vice versa.
Can you describe the pain for us a bit more? Does it happen at any time during the feeding- maybe during letdowns, or at the conclusion of a feeding? Does it happen after the feeding is over? Is it more of a stabbing or pinching pain, or more of a burning pain? When baby unlatches, are your nipples symmetrical like pencil erasers, or asymmetrical/wedged/ridged/creased/shaped like new lipsticks?

- 1 What is Folding@Home
- 2 Installing Folding@Home
- 3 Configuration
- 4 Multi-Core Cpu's and Folding@Home
- 5 External Links
What is Folding@Home
From the AUR package page "Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases."
Installing Folding@Home
Folding@Home is no longer in the community repository due to licensing issues. However, it is still possible to build it from AUR. If you are familiar with PKGBUILDS and AUR then build it and skip to configuration.
Automatic Install
If you are using Aurbuild, it's as simple as:
aurbuild -s foldingathome
If you are using yaourt , it's as simple as:
yaourt -S --aur foldingathome
Manual Install
To install manually, first download everything under the files section of the Folding@Home AUR page to a folder. Open a console and cd to the directory you downloaded to. Now it's just a matter of running
and if there are no errors you will be left with a package called foldingathome-version-number.pkg.tar.gz.
pacman -U foldingathome-version-number.pkg.tar.gz
being sure to replace version-number first ;)
If all went well, Folding@Home should now be installed.
Firstly, you will want to open your /etc/conf.d/foldingathome config file, with your editor of choice.
nano /etc/conf.d/foldingathome
The config is self explanatory, if you wish to have Folding@Home run as a user other than root (handy on single user systems, probably more secure on multi-user systems), or in a different group, then change these values.
Now run the Folding@Home process for the first time with
sudo /etc/rc.d/foldingathome start
give it a few seconds and then run
/etc/rc.d/foldingathome stop
You will find under your /opt/fah/ directiory, either new files or a new folder, if you set the user variable in /etc/conf.d/foldingathome. You will find a file called client.cfg, either in the /opt/fah dir or the /opt/fah/username folder.
nano /opt/fah/client.cfg
nano /opt/fah/username/client.cfg
The most important settings here are:
- username, user-name associated to the work-units you return.
- team, the team number you wish to contribute points to (earned for work units returned), you will of course want to fill in 45032, the arch-linux team number;)
- bigpackets, defines whether you will accept memory intesive work loads. If you have no problem with Folding@Home using up your RAM, then set this to yes (atleast 512MB of RAM recommended).
- machineid, covered in the Multi-Core section.
Assuming it all ran correctly, you'll want to put it in /etc/rc.conf to run on startup, so
nano /etc/rc.conf
and add @foldingathome to your DAEMONS variable (the @ causes it to start in the background, so as not to slow startup, see Daemons).
and then run
sudo /etc/rc.d/foldingathome start
again, to start Folding@Home up.
Folding@Home is now installed and running!
Handy commands
fahstat() { echo echo `date` echo cat /opt/fah/username/unitinfo.txt ***replacing username*** }
to your .bashrc , .zshrc or .whateverrc, for a summary of what Folding@Home is up to.
Also, replacing the cat command with tail -n1
fahstat() { echo echo `date` echo tail -n1 /opt/fah/username/unitinfo.txt #(replacing username first) }
will give you just the percentage of work-unit complete.
Multi-Core Cpu's and Folding@Home
A Quick Note On Hyperthreading
If you have a single-core hyperthreading CPU, you may be tempted to follow the multi-core instructions. It's highly recommened you don't do this as the Folding@Home team prefer fewer results quickly, than more results slowly. There's also a time-limit on work-units, so if it runs slower, your work-units may not be returned in time, and so distributed to another user. If you have one core, run one folding process.
Multiple Folding@Home Installs
Setting up Multiple Folding@Home installs
It's very simple to set up an extra install, although after each (rare) upgrade of the Folding@Home package, you will have to perform some maintenance, unless you wish to build separate packages with custom PKGBUILDS / scripts (beyond the scope of this tutorial). This method should also scale to however many cores/processors you have.
First, stop Folding@Home if it's running
sudo /etc/rc.d/foldingathome stop
sudo cp -r /opt/fah /opt/fah2
If you wish to call it something different, then by all means do. This tutorial will assume you're using /opt/fah2 for your second install and that you have the username directory.
rm -rf /opt/fah2/username/work /opt/fah2/username/queue.dat
if they exist, this way you won't be working on the work-unit that the original thread was working on twice.
You now have to open up the config for the new process
nano /opt/fah2/client.cfg
and change the machine ID to a different number to that of /opt/fah/client.cfg.
If you're using the bigpackets option in client.cfg, you should only have it set to yes for one of your Folding@Home processes as it can overwhelm your system otherwise.
Editing Init Scripts
Now comes the fun part. A second init script needs to be created and a little editing needs to be done, but this way you can turn each process on and off as wanted and it's simpler than one script managing both.
First, some initial editing has to be done to the current script and saved under another name
nano /etc/rc.d/foldingathome
. /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions . /etc/conf.d/foldingathome
This is to cut down on later maintance.
Next, change
PID=`pidof -o %PPID /opt/fah/FAH504-Linux.exe`
PID=`pgrep -f /opt/fah/FAH${FAH_VER}-Linux.exe -u $FAH_USER`
The reason for this is that pidof detects the first and second Folding@Home process as the same and so stopping one init script will kill both processes. On the other hand, pgrep will find the proccess associated filename/location. The "-u $FAH_USER" part is tacked on as a precaution, in case you are doing something strange with Folding@Home threads and users. You'll also notice the FAH_VER has slipped in there.
There should be two more instances of /opt/fah/FAH504-Linux.exe, change them to
You can also change the
stat_busy "Starting Folding@Home" stat_busy "Stopping Folding@Home"
lines to have some extra description such as "on Core 1" if you need to.
Now save the file as /etc/rc.d/foldingathome1 , this is to prevent it being over-written by a package upgrade.
Make a copy of the script
cp /etc/rc.d/foldingathome1 /etc/rc.d/foldingathome2
Now you have to find and replace instances of /opt/fah with /opt/fah2 in this script, double checking you aren't getting any false positives (there shouldn't be any, but scripts change). Make sure you get the one in the PID variable, otherwise the whole pgrep bit was a bit pointless ;)
Now, save this script and open up /etc/rc.conf and add @foldingathome1 and @foldingathome2 to the DEAMONS variable. Start up the two processes
sudo /etc/rc.d/foldingathome1 start sudo /etc/rc.d/foldingathome2 start
and if all goes well, you've got 2 Folding@Home processes running!
When upgrading the Folding@Home package, /opt/fah/FAH504-Linux.exe will be replaced with an executable with a new version number. This needs to be copied into your /opt/fah2 directory and the old executable deleted.
You then just have to change the FAH_VER variable in both scripts to reflect the new version number.
Handy Multi-Core command
As with the handy command for single core .whateverrc, this
fahstat() { echo echo `date` echo echo "Core 1:";cat /opt/fah/username/unitinfo.txt echo echo "Core 2:";cat /opt/fah2/username/unitinfo.txt }
may be useful.

Josh Trank is set to join "Godzilla" filmmaker Gareth Edwards as a new recruit to the "Star Wars" universe.
Trank will direct one of the multiple standalone movies that Disney plans to release that will explore the world created by George Lucas outside of the primary episodes of the franchise.
Lucasfilm announced Trank's selection Wednesday, but revealed no details about the film's story line.
It's been a busy time in the "Star Wars" universe. Earlier last month, Edwards, who enjoyed a blockbuster success with his big-budget "Godzilla" reboot, was tapped to helm another of the "Star Wars" standalone projects, which will be written by Gary Witta ("The Book of Eli," Telltale Games' adaptation of "The Walking Dead").
Also in May, J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII," scheduled to arrive in theaters Dec. 18, 2015, officially went into production, with a cast that includes Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega and newcomer Daisy Ridley, in addition to Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson, performance capture expert Andy Serkis and venerable Swedish thespian Max von Sydow as well as the principal actors from Lucas' original saga.
Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker all will reprise their iconic roles for Abrams' film.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Lupita Nyong'o, who earned a best supporting actress Academy Award for her heart-wrenching turn in "12 Years a Slave," would be joining the cast of "Episode VII," along with Gwendoline Christie, best known as the towering fighter Brienne of Tarth on HBO's "Game of Thrones." (Click through the gallery above for a look at the actors starring in "Episode VII.")
Trank won early acclaim for his low-fi superhero hit "Chronicle." He is currently in production on Fox's reboot of "The Fantastic Four," which will star Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and "Divergent" actor Miles Teller, with Toby Kebbell as the villain Doctor Doom.
The film is set for release June 19, 2015.

Top footballing agent Mino Raiola has apologised for the words he used when slamming former Netherlands star Johan Cruyff earlier in the year.
Raiola, who represents the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli, claimed in October that people accept Cruyff's statements regardless of what he says.
But the agent, who has caused controversy by likening Uefa to the mafia in the past, put his hands up and attempted to make amends for the wording of his outburst.
"If you make a mistake, you need to have the courage to apologise for it," Raiola told BNR Nieuwsradio.
"I shouldn't have used the word demented. That is a serious illness, affecting a lot of people. You shouldn't use the word like that. I have a father who is about the same age as Cruyff. I wouldn't like it if he were called that. I will never call him [Cruyff] demented anymore."
However, Raiola continued with a separate assault, saying that what has been coined Cruyff's 'velvet revolution' at Ajax is not the way to run a successful football club.
With players such as Edwin van der Sar head of marketing, Marc Overmars head of scouting and Frank de Boer as head coach, the agent questioned the role of former heroes.
Raiola added: "His [Cruyff's] opinion is something like, 'let's make sure former football players get high positions because they are former football players', not because they have proven something. His club Barcelona isn't led by former football players, you know.
"[AC Milan] won 25 major titles in the last 27 years," he added. "AC Milan has never been led by former football players."

Changes are a good thing!!
So my new job has been great, it's finals week at school, and I've been working out twice a day. There are definitely not enough hours in a day.
I apologize right now for any grammar mistakes. I just got done with Body Pump and I increased my all of my arms weight and they are shaking!
Last week I took my weight and measurements and things were good!! My weight didn't change much, but the inches are coming off!! I'm happy to report that I lost two inches in my waist and two inches in my hips!!! People are telling me that they can tell I've been working out and I can tell as well! Things are starting to pay off so I'll keep working hard. Oh and I forgot to mention I bought a new swimsuit top, a size smaller!!!
One thing that has changed for the worse is that at my new job I have become more sedintary. I work in an office and don't do a lot of walking. My knees are killing me lately. Going upstairs is killer and at times I don't want to walk. I guess what I'm doing is asking for your help and advice. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what they've done to make life easier on their knees?

Turkish police, crowds clash after teen's funeral
ISTANBUL (AP) — Riot police clashed with anti-government protesters in Istanbul and other Turkish cities following Wednesday's funeral of a teenager, who had been in a coma since a police tear-gas canister struck him in the head last year.
Police fired water cannons and tear gas to stop a crowd of thousands from reaching Istanbul's main square following a funeral service for 15-year old Berkin Elvan. Anti-government protests have flared since Berkin's death Tuesday.
Earlier, tens of thousands joined a funeral procession in Istanbul as Berkin's coffin was carried through the streets. Many called for the resignation of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Mourners chanted "Berkin Elvan is immortal!" ″Government resign!" and "Murderer Tayyip!" Some hurled stones at a ruling party building, smashing its windows.
Police also used tear gas and water cannon to drive back protesters in the capital, Ankara, and the third-largest city, Izmir. Protests were reported in at least eight other cities.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said 73 people were arrested in Ankara. It and police provided no arrest figures for Istanbul.
Protesters' anger is focused on Erdogan, in part, because he is blamed for ordering often heavy-handed crackdowns on anti-government protests since June 2013 and has lauded the riot police as heroes. Eight people, including Berkin, were mortally wounded in last summer's street clashes.
Erdogan is fighting allegations of corruption. He has been accused of seeking to derail investigations into government corruption by firing police and prosecutors from key positions.
Turkey holds local elections March 30. Erdogan has acknowledged the results will serve as a referendum on his rule.
Berkin's family says he was on his way to buy bread when he became swept up in a street protest and was struck in the head by a high-velocity gas canister. Several police officers were questioned about Berkin's injury but no one has been charged.
The protests began as a small protest against government plans to redevelop a central Istanbul park but, after police used force against those protesters, grew into nationwide demonstrations against Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian style.

Horses, we love them more than dog food companies here at Pocket-lint Towers. There's nothing like putting a pony on a horse and coming away with a monkey.
We also love our sports management games; Football Manager 2011, Cricket Captain 2010, Ladies Beach Volleyball 7: Thong Co-ordinator* - they all have us glued to our PCs and iPads. In more ways than one, sometimes.
So, imagine our delight when we learned that there's a new app (or two) that combines our two desires. And with the Epsom Derby coming up this weekend to whip us into a frenzy (much like the runners), it couldn't be better timed...
Starters Orders 4
While hitting the iPad (and iPad 2) for the very first time, the Starters Orders franchise has been around on PC for some time. And the current generation of the computer-centric classic, Starters Orders 4, has grown quite a network of fans for independent publisher and developer Strategic Designs Limited, who offers the game to buy online exclusively.
It's an extremely in-depth horse racing management and deserves to mentioned in the same breath as Football Manager and Cricket Captain; two PC titles that have also made a successful transition to Apple's devices.
Unlike those, however, the iPad version of SO4 has been split into two titles in order to suit the tablet device, and due to certain restrictions (of which we'll explain later), it is not available for the iPhone. There is a stripped down game using the same engine, Horse Racing World, but that only allows you to bet on races, rather than train horses too.
The iPad versions, however, are much deeper. Each focuses on one of the two types of racing season, flat and jump, and are priced at £6.49 on the App Store. They're combined on the PC game, but that doesn't mean that you're being swizzled as the computer version requires far more time, effort and attention than you're more than likely going to spend on an iPad.
Instead, it's almost worth considering that the flat edition is for beginners, while the slightly more complex jumps edition is for experienced players. And in that, at least there's a ready made sequel ready for you off the bat.
The games themselves have similar user interfaces and gameplay style. You are the owner of a stable of horses and must build up your resources (money) by winning races and/or betting on the outcome. You can bet on races that you don't have horses entered into, but it's far more fun when there's more at stake than just cash. You really will find yourself screaming at your pixelated nag as you get closer to the finishing line.
You can train horses between races (or switch that mode off, so that they're always fit and ready for you), and decide which races and events - all of which are based on genuine race calenders in the real world - you want to enter. The better the horse, the better the results.
Form, going and distance are all important, and your choice of jockey can be vital. And, thankfully, there's a swathe of statistics that the game constantly updates to help you out.
But, for us, the most important feature that can mean the difference between winning and losing is the instructions you can give a jockey to follow during a race. Before each event there's a drop-down box of options you can choose from, and each may suit or even hinder a specific horse. When you find a winning combination, it's worth jotting it down somewhere as you can use it again to good effect.
And, if your horses are still losing all the time, you can always buy new ones auctioned at the end of claiming or selling races.
Starters Orders 4, flat or jump, is not without its faults. To begin with, the 2D graphics aren't spectacular, although they certainly do the job enough to get you in a froth during a race. And the input mechanism is fiddly at best. There's some tiny text you have to click on, and can sometimes find yourself touching the wrong line or word - which is, no doubt, why an iPhone version isn't feasible.
However, both editions are superb, in-depth management simulations, the like of which rare on the casual gaming-heavy App Store. We're certainly getting fed up of catapulting avian agitators, joining up three whatevers in a row, or feeding sweets to beasties. Give us a stat-based sim anytime.
And preferably one (or two) with horses in it.
Excellent stuff.
* Sadly, the Ladies Beach Volleyball franchise is just a product of our warped and fragile minds. Although there is a rumour that British Olympic Women's Masseur Assistant is in development.

A Deliverer of Believers
William Dinkins loved the Lord from the time he was seven years old. He loved the Lord all of his long life. It was said that during his lifetime he delivered more than seven thousand believers to the altar, built or improved forty-seven churches and one school, the Harriet Holsey Industrial School of Dublin.
William Anderson Dinkins, Jr. was born to Anderson and Minda Dinkins of Houston County on September 15, 1867. His father, a mullato native of South Carolina, was a minister of the Congregational Methodist Episcopal Church for more than four decades. The elder Anderson pioneered the growth of the C.M.E. Church in the decades following the end of the Civil War. Six of his nine sons followed in his footsteps and became clergymen, one of whom joined the Baptist faith.
Young Dinkins got the best education he could in the village of Fort Valley, Georgia before moving to a better school in Perry, where he was taught by Dr. Duffy, a white teacher who was said to be a friend of the colored race. With nothing more than a meager education, Anderson Dinkins, who accepted the faith at the age of seven, kept his focus on his goal of becoming a minister. By the age of 15, William Anderson Dinkins, Jr. achieved his goal, left the family farm in the Lower Town District of Houston County, and moved to South Carolina in the mid 1880s, where he had the great fortune of being under the tutelage of Bishop Lucius H. Holsey, one of the greatest leaders of the C.M.E. Church in the late 19th Century. Bishop Holsey assigned the 19-year-old minister to serve as Presiding Elder of the Charleston District, making him one of the youngest presiding elders in the history of the denomination.
Before removing to his father's native state, Rev. Dinkins took the hand of Miss Mamie Collins, of Perry, in marriage. Mrs. Dinkins, a student of Atlanta University and a teacher for most of her life, was given a great part of the credit for her husband's successes. Dr. Dinkins once said, "All men should appreciate, respect, care for and love their wives, and be perfectly willing to carry out in good faith the sacred promises that were made at the altar, both in the presence of man and of God."
After one year in South Carolina, Rev. Dinkins returned to accept the pastorate of Holsey's Temple Church in Augusta, where he served for five years. While he was preaching in Augusta, Dinkins took advantage of the educational programs at nearby Paine College. In 1893, after five years of preaching and studying, Rev. Dinkins was granted a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the church's most prestigious educational institution.
Anderson Dinkins was somewhat of a consummate musician. In addition to his seminary studies, Dinkins completed a four-year course in instrumental music. Those who heard him ranked the preacher as one of the best in the denomination. During his commencement exercises Dinkins played all of the musical selections. For six years he was the official organist of the Georgia State Conference. Rev. Dinkins left Augusta and moved to Savannah in 1897 when he succeeded Dr. I. S. Person as the minister of Saint. Paul Church.
Savannah was the place where Rev. Dinkins began to achieve fame as a deliverer of believers. Often cited as one of the greatest events of his life, Dinkins' stirring sermons induced more than five hundred persons to confess their faith and join the C.M.E. Church.
Any successful church needs funds to operate. And, Dinkins was known as a master fund raiser too.
From 1898 to 1902, Dinkins was assigned to supervise districts around the state. When he returned to Fort Valley, he added 375 members to the church in his first year.
Another highlight of Dinkins' career and of special importance to the citizens of Dublin, Georgia came in 1905, when Dinkins helped to found the Harriet Holsey Industrial College on the northwest corner of East Jackson Street and South Decatur Street. Named in honor of the wife of the reverend's mentor, the college was the city's first college and was established to teach black students in the arts of agriculture, technology, and home making. As always, Mamie Dinkins was by her husband's side contributing to the early success of the project. Their daughter, Miss Mamie F. Dinkins, also a talented musician and a student of the Boston Conservatory of Music, was in charge of the music at Harriet Holsey Normal and Industrial School. She later worked as a teacher and music director in the city schools of Augusta, Ga.
During his nearly fifteen years in Dublin, Rev. Dinkins served as the editor of the Christian Herald, the statewide newspaper of the C.M.E. Church.
During his long ministerial career, W.A.Dinkins served as President of the Epworth League of the State of Georgia for six years. Dinkins did double duty for a decade and a half in the pulpit and the classroom, being one of a few licensed black teachers in Georgia. He was Secretary of the Farmers' Home Company of Augusta, Ga. The company owned more than six thousand acres of land, which it planned to use to establish the first Congressional Industrial School in the State of Georgia. Rev. Dinkins was active in fraternal circles as a Master Mason, Odd Fellow and Knight of Pythias.
Dr. Dinkins was the recipient of many high and esteemed honors. Atlanta's Morris Brown College conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. This accolade is significant in that it came from an African Methodist Episcopal Church, and not from the Congregational Episcopal Church.
Dr. William Anderson Dinkins was known and respected throughout the state as preacher, lecturer, editor, musician, financier, and a man who worked for the Lord with all of his heart and soul.
