Green Square
Major redevelopment site
The $8 billion Green Square project is transforming the southern precinct of our local area into a vibrant and sustainable urban environment.
From its industrial past, Green Square is emerging as a place of innovative housing design, bespoke business and retail, and creative and engaged communities proud of their area's past and future.
Green Square is set to become a true exemplar of green living with developments linked to recycled water, people linked to shops, parks, gardens and entertainment with bike and walking routes, and public transport.
At the heart of the Green Square development is the new town centre, a major new residential, retail and cultural hub.
Sydney Your SayChinese language update here – 此处查阅中文最新概Catch up at the Green Square infohub
The City has committed $440 million over the next 10 years to deliver quality infrastructure and community facilities such as the new library, plaza, and aquatic centre as well as parks, public art and community creative hub.
Planning and development
The City's role in Green Square is to ensure planning controls for the new town centre and nearby precincts allow for growth and development that is sustainable, innovative and respects the character of existing neighbourhoods.
Green Square is one of the fastest growing areas in the City's local area – new families are moving in every day, while residents in long-established suburbs like Rosebery have lived there for many generations. This diverse community needs opportunities to create and build connections while exploring their interests.
Fast facts
- The Green Square development area is 278 hectares.
- It includes the suburbs of Beaconsfield and Zetland, and parts of Rosebery, Alexandria and Waterloo.
- It is just 3.5km from the city centre and 4km from the airport.
- With nearly 10,000 apartments due for completion over the next 4 years, Green Square's population could increase by 19,000 by 2019.
- When fully completed after 2030, Green Square's total population may reach 53,000, although long range forecasts vary with changes to the property market, the economy and other factors.
- The new town centre will be built next to the Green Square train station, bordered by Bourke Street to the north and Joynton Avenue to the south.

NORMAN — For a few days last winter, Arizona and Oklahoma fans asked the same question.
Why did Shelby Pendley leave?
The Arizona shortstop was named All-Pac 12 First Team as a freshman. Pendley took the Wildcats all the way to Super Regionals, where they lost to Oklahoma last May. Then in January, she left the desert of Tucson and moved to the plains of Norman.

Montreal Impact
Chicago Fire at Montreal Impact
MLS Regular Season
Stade Saputo – Montreal, QC
Saturday, August 16, 2014
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
Thoughts on the game
"We weren't very dangerous to be honest going to goal and basically when it comes to the crunch, we didn't get the job done. It's disappointing, but it's kind of where we are right now. It's hard because we lost 6-0 on Wednesday and now we had a chance to prove ourselves again and we lose."
What can be changed to get that winning goal?
"We have to be more positive going forward. We have to dig deep and get that extra run for that extra minute and make sure we get beyond people and not play in front of the players. So I think that's the difference we need to make. I think that after Wednesday's loss it was hard on the team to be motivated, but our spirits seemed to be up at the beginning of the game and then we couldn't get it done in both boxes, we couldn't defend and couldn't score."
On how tight the table is
"Of course, you never give up until it's over. It's been a tough season; we have 13 ties, which 6 we should have won. I think that we would have been in a better spot with those extra two points per game. We're not good enough to be higher up at this point and that's on us."
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson
On the team's performance
"It's a tough result for us. We've got to be better. It's disappointing. We were in a position where we can put ourselves in a good spot in the playoff race. We played decent in the first half and just didn't do enough to get the result."
On what needs to be done to get three points
"It just a matter of believing and going out there and doing it. We just got to get it done. It's up to us, we're the players on the pitch and we have to solve some problems ourselves out there sometimes. We got to find it in us to get those results."
Chicago Fire midfielder Matt Watson
On how the team can improve offensively
"We weren't clinical enough in the final third. We need to find a way to get goals, maybe support the strikers more. We let the field get spread. We were hitting long balls to the strikers and then they were kind of wrestling for it by themselves with no support coming. We need to do better moving forward as a team."
On his team's defensive play
"At times I think we were chasing, myself included. I think sometimes we run just for the sake of it, where we could kind of be a more of a compact unit. We need to stay in a tighter defensive block."
Montreal Impact head coach Frank Klopas
On getting a win?
"It feels good. It took us a while to feel like this. There`s a lot of games that we could have walked away with points but you need to move forward. Today was a good overall performance by the group, I think that at some point we lost a bit of the midfield but the subs we made gave us a lot of added energy at the right time."
What was your reactions to Chicago`s presence on the field tonight?
"We had possession very deep in our side of the field in the first 25 minutes, we wanted to open them up and move the ball quicker. We had opportunities and options to play out of the back. We knew it was going to be a big game, so we didn't underestimate them at all, after them losing at the open cup. We knew it was going to be a difficult match, we expected one and it was. In the end we gave out a quality performance which gave us a great victory."
On Maxim Tissot?
"He brings a lot of energy, every time he's been in for us good things happen. He makes good runs off the ball, has a lot of pace and can make those long runs. In all he's been giving us a good constant quality and becomes a really dangerous opponent whether he starts or comes out on the field later. It's good for me, because we have a lot of options. He's young but we're going to continue to work with him and build him up."
Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio
Working with Piatti on the field…
"We tried to make a couple of combinations but it's not easy for him because he's arriving in a team that has a lot of confidence issues. For the past month and a half we've been playing better and taking the points we learnt and applying them on the field. So it's not easy for him to come in our team at this point so I think that with his arrival here it might help the team's confidence even more."
Are you thinking on ending your career soon?
"It's too far for me to think about this now. I don't even think about what will happen next week. This year was harder for me but I am only focusing on our games to come at this point, especially in the Champion's league games."
Montreal Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush
On Chicago's last offensive play?
"Those are the things that happen at the end of the game, when you're up a goal, you send a lot of guys forward on set pieces and I got knocked down. I didn't hear a whistle and he got a foot on it and I was there to take care of it."
Did the defense have a lot to do with not getting any goals in tonight?
"I think so, there weren't that many chances that we gave them and fought well for the ball. We had a good side to side movement and Wandrille and Matteo did a very good job to hold the back up."
Montreal Impact midfielder Ignacio Piatti
On the game…
"As my first game I think that I played well and that the team had a solid performance and played well together. I knew about the MLS beforehand and knew the style of play so there was no surprise for me, but I still will have to adapt my style of play to that of the MLS."
On Marco Di Vaio …
"Marco is a star player, when you play him the ball he'll return it quickly, so there's a good chemistry there and I am going to keep working on developing that team synergy. I asked Marco if there was a possibility for him to stay, but he says it's hard for him and his family, but he's still looking for a solution."

What is it going to take for Frank Yallop to get his first regular season victory as head coach of the Chicago Fire?
Following Saturday's dramatic 1-1 tie at home to the New England Revolution, the Fire are now without a win in seven MLS games after an opening day defeat at Chivas USA and six subsequent ties as their season has yet to fully take off.
However, four of those seven games were on the road, so if the Fire can pick up all three points at home to Real Salt Lake on Saturday, May 3 after a bye week, the complexion of the season, and more importantly the table, will suddenly look a whole lot better.
Thankfully for Yallop and his coaching staff, the Chicago fan-base have shown remarkable patience and understanding as he tries to impart his philosophies and footballing ideals on to this new group of players.
Yallop came to the Fire with a proven track record in the MLS following a lengthy professional career in England and on the international stage with Canada.
His vast experience in England and early MLS successes as a coach with San Jose Earthquakes has given Yallop, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, the confidence to remain calm despite the relatively disappointing start to the campaign.
When speaking about the team, their attitude, their effort in training and their prospects for the season, Yallop hasn't changed in his thinking since his arrival at Toyota Park last October. If anything, he is more optimistic now than before the season began.
He sees a group of players that have shown significant signs of progress in the short time he has been with them and he believes that their first win is about to come. Yes, he believed it would come at home to the Red Bulls. Away to DC.
His confidence in himself and his team still intact, he insisted the win would come with the visit of the Union to Toyota Park. And again, a week later, there was an assured statement that the win would arrive on the road in Montreal.
Looking back, it is possible to see where and how three points may have been won in any of these games, with a little luck or a hint of good fortune. Mike Magee's late penalty miss against Philadelphia. Late saves by the Impact's Troy Perkins from Patrick Nyarko and Magee that would have earned the Fire their first win.
Juan Luis Anangono's penalty miss against New England last time out was another glaring example of a missed opportunity and another occasion where the Fire should have sealed the three points their efforts over the previous 90 minutes deserved.
The reason no one has pushed the panic button just yet, is largely down to the quality of play produced each week, the vast amount of chances being created and the overall level of entertainment served up by Yallop and his attack-minded tactics.
No other team has had more shots this campaign at 101, while only the Montreal Impact have hit the target more often, 38 times to the Fire's 35 (which they tie with the Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps and Sporting Kansas City).
They are the fourth highest scorers after seven games with 10 goals, while Quincy Amarikwa is tied for second on the goalscoring list with four.
There are significant signs of improvement since the side's defeat at Chivas, with Yallop's influence gaining momentum with each and every game.
Having struggled to assert themselves in the possession stakes in the opening three games, the Fire have enjoyed more of the ball than their opponents in their last three games.
This has translated itself into more goalscoring opportunities, with the Fire amassing an impressive 54 shots to their opponents' 17 over the last three games.
Which suggests to me that they are doing well defensively, restricting other teams to an average of six shots per game, while also creating enough themselves to comfortably win games.
That has not happened thus far, but surely it is only a matter of time.
There have been several other positive features to Yallop's tenure, most notably his willingness to give youth a chance. Earlier in the year, he insisted that he would select players on merit rather than reputation, and he has stood by that assertion with the likes of Harry Shipp, Benji Joya, Greg Cochrane and Victor Pineda all getting a chance to impress.
Add to that the blossoming central defensive partnership of Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Bakary Soumare, which has impressed in recent games despite the concession of 11 goals, and it is clear to see that the Fire have a solid base upon which to build.
His faith in the wing play of Nyarko and Shipp has also reaped reward with both players contributing to the fluent, incisive build-up play down both flanks that has been a feature of the Fire's games thus far.
And with reigning MLS MVP Magee improving with every game following his early season injury problems, and his effective link up play with Amarikwa showing real signs of promise, surely that first win will come sooner rather than later.
Stats at a glance (the Fire read first):

|44.7% / 55.3%

|38.5% / 61.5%

#QuincyTime continued to take on a life of its own on this weekend when Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa scored the 54th minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Montreal on Saturday.
With the goal, Amarikwa has already equaled his total for the whole of 2013 just six matches into this season and has been involved in a goal in five of those games. Just to take it one further, Amarikwa has five goals and one assist in his last eight Fire appearances dating back to October 4 last season.
He started only five of those games.
So while the Fire are still winless in six matches (but unbeaten in five), Amarikwa seems to be the revelation early on this season. With the Fire having given up seven goals from dead ball sequences before Saturday, it was nice to see Amarikwa bury a set piece second ball for the Fire for a change.
One more look…
And for the second time this season, Quincy brought out the #cf97NaeNae to celebrate…
An MLS journeyman who's calling card has been coming off the bench, Amarikwa scored just four goals in his first 67 MLS matches but with six goals in the last year, he's already doubled his career goal total in 20 games with the Fire. As he continues to show efficiency on the field, I posed this question on Twitter Saturday…
It's still early but just wondering, could @QuincyAmarikwa score double digits this year? #cf97
— Jeff Crandall (@jefecrandall) April 12, 2014
What do you think are the reasons for Amarikwa's turnaround with the Fire? Will he become the eighth Fire player to hit double-digit goals by year's end? Give me your thoughts below!
Ahead of Saturday's clash at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, neither Fire head coach Frank Yallop or the Impact's Frank Klopas will be happy with their team's defensive efforts five matches into the season, though they may have varying opinions about the number of goals their teams have produced.
See below the spots on the field both the Fire and Impact have scored and conceded from heading into Saturday's game:
|Goals Scored: 8
|Goals Against: 9
|Run of Play: 4
|Run of Play: 2
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 4

After a heartbreaking draw against the Union last weekend, the Fire travel north to Montreal to face another side looking for a first win of the season Saturday (2:30pm CT on My50/TWCSC). The game has added spice with former coach Frank Klopas facing the Men in Red for the first time as opposition coach.
Here are a few tactical observations to keep in mind on Saturday.
Continued focus on the wing play - taking advantage of Shipp's positioning
In last Saturday's match, Patrick Nyarko returned to the starting lineup and impressed. On the other side of the field, Harry Shipp looks much more comfortable when he cuts inside, as opposed to hugging the touchline and taking on players.
Shipp's set piece play alone is worth a place in the starting eleven, but his ability to pick a pass is also a dangerous weapon. Shipp's tendency to drift inside also benefits the Fire for other reasons.
First, in the absence of a creative central midfielder, it's not felt as much when the rookie comes central and occupies those positions. Against a team like Montreal that boasts an impressive attack, the use of two defensive-minded midfielders can be necessary (as I will explain in more detail later) but with Shipp filling the gap, the Fire don't lose much in an attacking sense.
Shipp's positioning also opens the door for Greg Cochrane to show his attacking talents from the left back position. Cochrane has fit seamlessly into the Fire back line and his excellent crossing ability has been on show in recent matches.
With the Impact's wide players like Mapp reluctant to track back on a consistent basis, the Fire could again benefit from attacking in the wide areas.
Continuing to win the ball high up the field - catching Montreal in transition
In the first half last week against New York, the Impact sliced through the Red Bull midfield as if they had three extra players on the pitch. Klopas emphasized transitioning the ball from defense to attack as quickly as possible and for most of the first half, that worked to devastating effect.
Montreal should've been well ahead at halftime but actually went into the break behind 2-1. The reason for this was because the Canadian team was caught trying to force the ball forward too quickly, resulting in turnovers, which the Red Bulls capitalized on twice in three minutes. I expect the Impact to try this tactic again on Saturday.
- INFOGRAPHIC: Where Fire and Impact are scoring, conceding from
Players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa both like to hound the opposing team when they are in possession in their defensive third. The Fire's first goal last week was a perfect example of this, with Amarikwa nicking the ball from a defender before setting up Magee for an easy tap in.
If the Fire can force the Impact into turnovers high up the pitch, it could prove costly for the Canadian team.
Attempting to contain Montreal's fearsome attack - staying compact and limiting mental mistakes
Just when we thought an attack featuring Marco Di Vaio, an in-form Justin Mapp and Felipe was going to be a challenge, the Impact went out and acquired promising American youngster Jack McInerney.
This move could see the Impact change formation to a two striker statute with Di Vaio and Jack Mac up front or see McInerney play in one of the wide attacking roles behind the target striker. In any case, the fluidity of the Impact's attack will be a major challenge for the Fire to contend with on Saturday.
None of the Montreal attacking players stay static for long, with Felipe essentially having a free role in the hole, Di Vaio often pushing wide, and Mapp cutting inside with the ball at his feet on a regular basis. With this in mind, the Fire defense needs to stay organized and compact and not allow Montreal to drag players out of position.
This has not been a problem for the Fire this season, with most of the team's nine goals against coming from lapses from set pieces. A clean sheet Saturday afternoon would be a massive achievement.
Prediction: The Fire score early and finish the game off late 2-0 with goals from Magee and Hurtado.

One of my favorite days of the year is the day the MLS schedule is released.
For many fans, this announcement means compiling a list of blackout days where the Fire are playing at Toyota Park. For Fire fans not residing in the Chicagoland area, it means finding out when the Men in Red will be visiting your nearest MLS team. But for someone like me who has been on quite a few road trips (over 50 but not as many as this guy), the schedule release day means not only looking at the home fixtures but also the away ones.
Questions I asked myself earlier today: Does Toronto away fall on weekend instead of a Wednesday night? How much does it cost to fly to Portland in March? These important questions get answered on this special day.
With that in mind, let's take a look at five exciting dates in the 2014 Fire calendar:
Week 2 – Portland away – Saturday, March 15
Ever since Portland came into the league in 2011, the Fire supporters umbrella, Section 8 Chicago, has had a very good relationship with the Timbers Army, Portland's main supporters group. The relationship is based on mutual respect and a shared "dislike" of all things Seattle.
Fire fans are always treated well in Portland and it's not uncommon for Fire and Timbers fans to hang out before and after the games, something you would never see Fire fans doing in Columbus or Kansas City.
The atmosphere at JELD-Wen Field is also second to none. Though is certainly isn't going to be the easiest away trip on the field or the lightest on the wallet, I think we will see quite a few Fire fans making the trip to Portland in Week 2 instead of traveling to LA to watch the Fire face Chivas in the season opener.
Week 6 & 22 – Montreal away – Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, August 16
The Fire were the Montreal Impact's opponents in the Canadian club's first home MLS back in 2012 and I was lucky enough to be at the game and had a great time.
That game was played indoors at the Olympic Stadium with a less than favorable playing surface – something many of the Fire fans observed firsthand the day before the game when we were invited to watch the team train (see photo above).
Now the Impact have Saputo Stadium refurbished, which provides another incentive for traveling Fire fans who may not have gotten there earlier this year.
Montreal is also a unique MLS city for a number of reasons. I can't think of another MLS city where fans can brush up on their French by talking to the locals or take in the spectacular Notre-Dame basilica while eating some amazing poutine!
Montreal can be quite cold in April, but luckily for Fire fans, the April date is only the first time the Men in Red visit The City of Saints. I hear the weather is a lot nicer in mid-August, when the Fire visit for the second time.
Week 11 – Columbus away – Saturday, May 24
Columbus or Fire House East as many Fire fans call it is the closest away trip of the season distance wise. Due to this fact, the number of Fire fans attending this match is exponentially bigger than most other away games.
In 2001, Fire fans went to Crew Stadium in their hundreds, even when the Fire was not playing! The Fire had been knocked out in the Conference Semifinals by the Los Angeles Galaxy and many fans turned up to cheer against LA (and for the then Frank Yallop-led San Jose Earthquakes) at MLS Cup.
There have been many highs experienced in Columbus, such as Paulo Wanchope's winning goal in a 2007 match after the game was delayed due to a torrential downpour. Fire fans were also 45 minutes away from MLS Cup in 2008 but for a Crew comeback in the second half which left Fire fans, including myself, devastated. There's also the 2012 invasion which saw 600 Fire supporters make the trek.
The Fire only play once at Fire House East this season and I expect to see a lot of red behind the goal on May 24.
Week 16 & 32 Kansas City away –Sunday, July 6 & Friday, October 10
Kansas City is another road trip that fans have attended in large numbers throughout the years. My first trip to Kansas City was a disappointing one, with the Fire losing to the Kansas City Wizards in the final of the U.S. Open Cup in 2004.
Since then, the Kansas franchise has a new name and a soccer specific stadium. You can no longer play the count the crowd game that we often did when the Wizards played at Arrowhead Stadium.
- DOWNLOAD: 2014 Home Regular Season Schedule (PDF)
Most fans travel to this game by bus thus skipping the "delights" of downtown Kansas City and the bus ride does offer one cool treat – a visit to the world's largest truck stop in Iowa.
Though SKC are not really a Fire rival (despite efforts made by the KC front office to make it into something bigger) there is certainly a dislike between the players and fans on both sides.
With the October 11 game coming so late in the season, it may be a pivotal one in terms of Playoff positioning.
Week 23 – Toronto away – Saturday, August 23
By far my favorite MLS city to travel to is Toronto. It's roughly the same distance from Chicago as Kansas City and again many fans travel to Canada on supporter's buses.
Each visit, Fire fans shack up at a great hostel where we run into soccer fans from all over the world. Toronto itself is a great city aside from the prohibitive drinking laws on weekends (who doesn't want to have a pint at 10am while watching the Premier League the next morning?).
BMO Field is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario and is thus left exposed and is often windy and chilly but the warm pies served at some of the concessions stands are an excellent halftime treat.
On the field, the Fire have had some good success against a TFC team that has languished near the bottom of the MLS table since starting in 2007. Thankfully, this match is on a Saturday in August so I expect a much larger contingent of Fire fans to attend.

I'm not going to bog you down with a bunch of math, it is Sunday afterall.
Following New York's 3-0 win today at Houston, the Eastern Conference playoff picture has become very clear heading into the final week of the season.
First I give you the updated table via MLSsoccer.com:
Now, the remaining Eastern Conference fixture list...
Saturday, October 26
Philadephia Union vs. Sporting KC - 2pm CT (NBC Sports Network)
Toronto FC vs. Montreal Impact - 3pm CT (MLS Live)
Sunday, October 27
D.C. United vs. Houston Dynamo - 12:30pm CT (NBC)
Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution - 3:00pm CT (MLS Live)
New York Red Bulls vs. Chicago Fire - 4:00pm CT (My50/Time Warner Sports WI)
The Chicago Fire can qualify for the MLS Cup playoffs the following ways...
- Draw at New York AND Montreal lose at Toronto
- Win at New York AND Toronto FC win/draw vs. Montreal
- Draw at New York AND Montreal loses at Toronto FC AND New England draws/loses at Columbus AND Houston draws/loses at D.C.
Bet you didn't see that title coming two weeks ago did you?
While much of MLS sat idle this weekend, teams in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race nearly played a full slate with perhaps the Fire coming away as the biggest winners from the weekend's results.
A look at where the race stands heading into the final two weeks of the season...
x - 1) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 53 (15-9-8)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DDWWW (11pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 10-2-4 / 5-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 47.0
Remaining Schedule: 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: New York sat idle this weekend, letting the rest of the Eastern Conference catch up to them on games played. Already qualified for the playoffs, Red Bull will be watching the Cascadia clash between Seattle and Portland closely Sunday night as it will have significant implications on the Supporters Shield race.
Red Bull will certainly be in the mix for their first true silverware the last two weeks of the season but with so many teams still in contention for the hardware, Fire fans shouldn't expect New York to put out a weaker lineup on the last day of the season.
A win this week vs. Houston would at the very least lock up a top two finish in the East for New York while a loss would make things very interesting…
x - 2) Sporting KC
Current Points: 52 (15-10-7)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5: DWLWW (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-5-3 / 7-5-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 31
Remaining Schedule: 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC could have controlled their own destiny for the top spot in the East if they would have won out but Wednesday's draw at Houston means they've relinquished that opportunity to New York.
Still, Sporting welcomes D.C. United this weekend and will no doubt be in the equation for both that top spot and potentially the Supporters Shield race on the final day of the season.
By virtue of the draw between Philadelphia and D.C. United Saturday, they also locked down a playoff berth. A win Saturday vs. D.C. and Sporting will lock in a top two finish in the East.
3) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 48 (13-10-9)
Games Remaining: 1 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DWWWL (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-4 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 56
Average Opponents Pts: 34.5
Remaining Schedule: 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: The midweek draw vs. Sporting KC cooled off the Dynamo's hot streak just a bit, leaving them exposed to a potential drop in the standings at the weekend. Fortunately for Houston, Montreal fell to New England and the Dynamo are still in with a small chance for a top of the East finish.
With three games in eight days to end the season, the Dynamo have a huge week ahead of them beginning Saturday vs. New York.
How the qualify this week: A win over New York combined with a Philadelphia loss or draw to Montreal or a win over New York combined with a Philadelphia draw/win and a Chicago loss or draw to Toronto FC.
4) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 46 (13-11-7)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home/ 2 away)

Remaining Schedule: 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Oh how the mighty have fallen. Long holders of the Eastern Conference top spot the first half of the season, Montreal are now winless in their last five following Saturday's 1-0 defeat to New England.
Montreal still hold a game in hand over the rest of the East but make that up with a tough midweek match Wednesday at LA. In that game the Impact will be down two starters in Matteo Ferrari and Davy Arnaud due to yellow card accumulation while Landon Donovan returns to the Galaxy from U.S. Men's National Team duty.
A loss in that match and Montreal will officially be in the dog fight for one of the knockout playoff spots and will have to recover quickly as they'll host fellow contender Philadelphia three days later.
How they qualify this week: Two wins vs. LA and Philadelphia is the simplest way but a combined four points with the win coming against Philadelphia along with either a New England loss/draw to Columbus or a Fire loss to Toronto FC.
5) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 46 (13-12-7)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: WWDLW (10pts)

Rundown: Following the disappointing 2-2 draw to Montreal on September 28, naysayers said the Fire should give up on the season and "play the kids" with only home game remaining out of their final four.
Two weeks later, they've won two straight MLS games for the first time since early July and both of them came on the road. Naysayers…
Now above the red line and tied on points with Montreal (and Philadelphia), the Fire are actually in a position where they could clinch a playoff berth this weekend and still have the possibility to finish in the East's top three spots, something that would have been unthinkable back in mid-May.
With two games left, the Fire control their own playoff destiny and after two confidence boosting victories, have a very winnable game in Saturday's home finale vs. Toronto FC.
How they qualify this week: A Chicago win over Toronto FC combined with a Philadelphia loss vs. Montreal and a New England loss or draw vs. Columbus.
With the Chicago and Philadelphia even on points, how would this work you ask? If the Fire won and Union lost, couldn't they still catch the Fire on points? Yes, but they would only tie Chicago and the Fire would already have a two-game edge in the first tie breaker which is total wins.
With both Montreal/Philadelphia and New England/Columbus ending before the Fire/TFC game, Saturday could be a very special night at Toyota Park. Get your tickets!
6) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 46 (12-10-10)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DWWLL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-4-5 / 5-6-5
Maximum Possible Points: 52
Average Opponents Pts: 49
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: For two weeks in a row, Philadelphia have needed a very late goal to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. On Saturday though Jack McInerney's strike was only good enough to equalize with lowly D.C. United, meaning the Union missed out on a huge opportunity to gain crucial points ahead of what will be two tough matches at Montreal and vs. Sporting KC to end the season.
How they qualify this week: Even if Philadelphia beats Montreal (and the Impact have lost to LA at midweek) and the Fire and Revolution both lose to Toronto and Columbus respectively, Philly would still need to get a point in the final week against Sporting KC.
7) New England Revolution
Current Points: 45 (12-11-9)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: WDDWL (8pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-5-4 / 5-7-4
Maximum Possible Points: 51
Average Opponents Pts: 41
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: New England bounced back well from a disappointing 2-2 draw last week at New York, earning a valuable 1-0 away win in Montreal but still find themselves in a difficult spot after the Fire win in Dallas and Philly's last gasp draw in D.C.
An odd home-and-home series with Columbus (who are now all but out of the playoff race) will help determine their playoff fate but even if they win both matches to close the season, they'll need help in the form of two teams above them dropping points. With Montreal, Chicago and Philadelphia all just one point ahead and the Impact and Union facing each other this week, New England still has plenty to play for.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 41 (12-15-5)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: LWWWL (9pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 7-6-3 / 5-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 47
Average Opponents Pts: 42
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: The Revolution and Fire wins as well as the Union draw pretty much put to bed the Crew's hopes for the postseason. It's not that they're mathematically out, it's just that it's damn near improbable that all the results that would need to go Columbus' way would.
It's not even worth getting into with two weeks left but if they can play a little spoiler and win at New England this weekend and are still in the hunt on the final day, I'll explain it next week.
The Fire and a few other results went their way this weekend. Still, the Men in Red remain just below the red line, two points back of the final playoff spot in the East with three matches left to play.
A breakdown of the weekend and what it means for the current Eastern Conference playoff picture…
x - 1) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 53 (15-9-8)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DDWWW (11pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 10-2-4 / 5-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 45.0
Remaining Schedule: 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: New York held a long lead, controversy ensued, New England went up 2-1 late only to see Tim Cahill bag an incredible header to see Red Bull walk away with a 2-2 draw and eventually become the first team in MLS to clinch a playoff berth.
Still, the game will feel like a missed opportunity at home for a team still hoping to win the Supporters Shield and lock down the Eastern Conference top seed. The result is disappointing from a Fire perspective for two reasons: 1) It gives New England an extra point and 2) It almost assuredly makes Red Bull's home game vs. the Fire on October 27 all the more meaningful.
New York will take a break off this week before visiting high-flying Houston on October 20.
2) Sporting KC
Current Points: 51 (15-10-6)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5: WLWWW (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-5-3 / 7-5-3

Average Opponents Pts: 35.6
Remaining Schedule: 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC did exactly what they needed to do, getting a well-earned 1-0 victory at Columbus Saturday night. The result means Sporting has earned just three points less on the road than they have at home this season – a somewhat incredible away record in MLS terms.
KC controls their own destiny for Eastern Conference top spot but faces a very tough test Wednesday vs. a Dynamo side that jumped up to third this weekend. A Sporting win in that match automatically puts them into the playoffs but they can also make it with a combination draw and Fire draw or loss would also do the trick.
3) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 47 (13-10-8)
Games Remaining: 3 (2 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: WWWLD (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-3 / 4-6-4

Average Opponents Pts: 39.7
Remaining Schedule: 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: Houston continued their climb up the table with their third straight win Friday vs. Montreal. Things looked bleak for the Dynamo in early September but the side now seems destined to once again reach the playoffs and with back-to-back matches vs. Sporting KC and New York, their ascent might not stop at third place.
All we can say is, typical Houston Dynamo…
4) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 46 (13-10-7)
Games Remaining: 4 (2 home/ 2 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLLW (4pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-3 / 4-7-4

Average Opponents Pts: 39.5
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Montreal fell again 1-0 at Houston Friday night, moving the side that spent much of the regular season at the top of the East all the way down to fourth place. The Impact still hold a game in hand on everyone and both of their remaining home matches are six-pointers against New England (this week) and Philadelphia (October 19). If they can recover from their down form and win those games, they should still be in the playoffs.
5) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 45 (12-10-9)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLLD (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-4-5 / 5-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 54
Average Opponents Pts: 37.3
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: There was a point Saturday night in which it looked like all three Eastern Conference games would go the Fire's way, then Kleberson's 96th minute free kick happened, giving Philadelphia a crucial 1-0 home win over Toronto FC.
With that win, the Union stayed above the red line, two points ahead of the Fire with three matches remaining. Philly will look to take advantage of Saturday's game at lowly D.C. before having to close with tough matches at Montreal and vs. Sporting KC.
6) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 43 (12-12-7)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WDLWD (7pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 9-4-3 / 3-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 52
Average Opponents Pts: 40
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: The Fire did the business with a 3-0 win at D.C. on Friday night and if not for Kleberson's late free kick in Philly, would have sat in fifth place to end the weekend.
The Fire visit FC Dallas who kept their quite slim Western Conference playoff hopes alive with a 1-1 draw vs. Real Salt Lake Saturday. With the Galaxy destroying Chivas USA and even Vancouver picking up a point vs. Portland Sunday, it doesn't look good for Dallas, who are seven points out of the final playoff spot with three games to go, meaning a loss Saturday would officially be there end of the season.
On the other hand, the Fire are 3-12-2 all-time in Dallas and will go for their second straight away win on Saturday – a feat the team has achieved just once in the past four seasons. A win in Frisco will put the Fire in prime position with a home match vs. Toronto looming.
7) New England Revolution
Current Points: 42 (11-11-9)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: DDWLL (5pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-5-4 / 4-7-4
Maximum Possible Points: 51
Average Opponents Pts: 42.6
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: New England were no doubt the biggest losers from this weekend's results, scoring two goals to go up 2-1 late only to have Cahill's 96th minute header serve as a huge gut punch. A visit to Montreal, who are also coming off a loss at Houston, looms quite large and defeat in Quebec could do serious damage to the Revs' playoff hopes.
Still, the home-and-home vs. Columbus to close the season will keep things interesting for the Revolution and at the very least, likely keep them in the mix until the final weekend.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 41 (12-15-5)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: LWWWL (9pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 7-6-3 / 5-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 47
Average Opponents Pts: 42
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: As great as the Crew's run under interim head man Brian Bliss was, all it would take was another loss to deal a horrible blow to their playoff hopes. The Crew will now take their bye week but they need to win their remaining two matches and hope for major help around the East in order to make the playoffs.
There's still a chance but it's just not very good.

color on the shelves of many stores where I shop. I have looked at Big Lots/Wynn Dixie/Publix/TJ Max/ and several other
stores. WHY do you change these colors/numbers????? Am still looking.
Thanks, Shirley Feltman

Using the full-time and part-time faculty figures from the Peterson's database, we calculated how many full-time faculty members each school had per part-time faculty member. Accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, such as the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE), acknowledge that a bigger number of full-time faculty members typically indicates a higher chance of high-quality instruction. In fact, the CIHE states that one of the factors it considers when evaluating a school is that the school "avoids undue dependence on part-time faculty, adjuncts, temporary appointments, and graduate assistants to conduct instruction."
The Peterson's database did not have these figures for all of the colleges on our list. We did not, however, want to penalize those colleges without data. To that end, we simply excluded those schools from the rankings in this category.

I am thinking of replacing the breather tube in the cam cover with a fitting and plumbing it into the tank to return the oil mist from the breather to the tank. This would require a non sealed tank with a breather screen type cap or some other way for the tank to breath. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The 1,000 Islands International Tourism Council has secured two state grants worth $144,000 to market the Interstate 81 corridor and attract more anglers to Northern New York.
Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the tourism council, said the larger, $84,000 Empire State Development Corp. grant will allow communities along I-81 to pool resources in their promotion of tourism activities along the corridor.
The councils plan specifically targets Eastern Ontario shoppers, snowbirds, or seasonal residents, and Pennsylvanians who travel north to the Thousand Islands to vacation early in the season.
In his proposal, Mr. De- Young said the region must try to get spring and fall travelers to spend more in order to make businesses more viable.
He said a coordinated effort would give regular visitors and Canadian shoppers a better idea of what types of activities, history and services the area has to offer.
The council hopes that by making such information more visible and readily available, the joint effort would facilitate more through traffic business and encourage seasonal residents to stay in the region longer in the shoulder seasons.
Empire State Development also awarded the council a $60,000 grant specifically to promote fishing activities.
Over the past few decades, New York has been outpromoted by other Great Lakes states as a high-quality freshwater fishing venue, Mr. De-Young said in his proposal. He said the funds awarded will allow tourism groups to coordinate an outreach to nearby markets including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The council plans to hire a contractor to develop Internet-friendly content for the spring 2013 I Love New York Fishing campaign such as videos, still photography and two- to three-minute clips of fishing activities in the region accompanied by short articles to complement them.
Both efforts involve promotions through traditional media as well as Internet advertising on various websites, in electronic newsletters and through social media services such as Facebook and Twitter.
But the I-81 promotions also will include the development of mobile applications for the iOS and Android platforms that provide an exit-by-exit directory of the corridor, which the council hopes to launch by summer.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stock indexes ended higher on Wednesday following the reelection of U.S. President Barack Obama, with the incumbent's victory seen as removing uncertainly, even as markets began looking ahead to U.S. fiscal-cliff issues and the relatively short seven-week period to tackle the problem.
A Second Obama Term
Laura Tyson, former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, discusses how a second term for Barack Obama may shape budget negotiations.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.46% and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index XJO, +1.33% both advanced 0.7%, while South Korea's Kospi SEU, +0.68% gained 0.5%.
Shanghai's Composite Index 000001, +1.87% ended little changed, falling 0.01%, while Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +1.64% also traded flat, ending 0.03% lower.
Singapore's Straits Times Index was up 0.7% late in trading.
The Asia Dow rose 0.9%.
Chances for compromise
Citigroup said the Obama victory bolstered the likelihood of a temporary compromise in the debate over the expiry of tax concessions and other fiscal issues due to kick in at the end of the year.
"This outcome means that the same players remain in place for the upcoming fiscal-cliff negotiations," Citi analyst Tina Fordham said in a note Wednesday. "Watch for statements from leaders of both parties in both houses of Congress, as well as the leaders of the Ways and Means and Finance Committees, as their signals matter most."
Asian markets appeared to breathe a collective sigh of relief on news of the Obama victory, as an incumbent in the White House means U.S. trade and fiscal policies, are likely to continue, analysts said.
"Perhaps Asian traders are content to see the Democrats at the helm given [that] stock-market gains have been pretty good under Obama and the threat of economic sanctions by the Republican Party on China could have been a big risk-off event," said Chris Weston, chief markets strategist at IG Markets.
U.S. stock futures were choppy on Wednesday. Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJZ2 futures were down in Asian trading hours, recovered near the start of Europe's day, and then turned lower again.

Matthew Sherwood at Perpetual Investments said before the election that he was hoping for a "conclusive vote."
Now the "hard work of negotiating a watering-down of the U.S. fiscal cliff between the U.S. Congress and President Obama gets under way, and they cannot afford to fail," he said.

ACTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Ten year old A. J. Davis of Acton shot a turkey, a bear, a moose and a deer. This makes him one of the youngest Maine hunters to ever complete the grand slam.
A. J. is the son of Scott and Richie Davis, both of whom are active hunters. In fact, his mother has what is called a career grand slam having shot each of the big four over her lifetime.
Scott has never had a moose permit and calls being drawn for the permit that the hardest part of getting the slam is being drawn in the lottery. Scott was actually at the moose permit lottery at Cabella's calling off names when he heard that A. J. had been drawn. A. J. was sitting right by the public address speaker. "I was sitting by a bunch of people and the guy went up and called a bunch of names and my name was there. I was like, 'yea'"
Together, father and son hunted all seasons with A. J. shooting a 20 pound turkey in May, a 220 pound bear in September, a 625 pound moose in October and a 100 pound deer on Halloween.
Because his birthday falls in January, A. J. is not the youngest ten year old to complete the grand slam, but he has joined an exclusive club.

PRICE - On Jan. 12, 2011, our loving husband, father and friend, James O. (Pete) Peterson passed away at the age of 70 with family members at his side.
Pete was born in Columbia on Aug. 21, 1940 to Wreda Oveson and Blondie Peterson. He graduated Carbon High School as a member of the Class '58. Shortly after, Pete spent four years in the Air Force. After serving his country, he attended Utah State University and earned his degree in the late 60s.
Pete was a talented baseball player and he played Triple AAA baseball in Mount Shasta, Calif. Pete loved to watch college football. Every fall he would meet up with buddies to watch a U of U game. If there was a bowl game on, Pete was watching it.
Pete made his career in the mining industry for 27 years. Twenty-five of those were spent at Kaiser Steel in Carbon County. Pete worked diligently as a trainer for the mine rescue team the Smoke Eaters and felt his greatest accomplishment was the team's success.
His partner in life, love and marriage for 41 plus years was Betty. Together they raised four beautiful children. He considered his children the apple of his eye. He took great pride in watching his children grow and succeed in life. He was also a much-loved grandpa who had much to give to his grandchildren. He instilled the importance of a well-kept good appearance. He stressed the importance of a tucked shirt, belted pants and polished shoes. When the kids arrived, they would receive a dollar for a tucked shirt and an extra bonus for a shine on their shoe. His tactics worked as they always walked through grandpa's door with tucked shirttails.
Pete had a great passion for music and photography. Years ago, he had a darkroom in his house but when the digital age of photography came, Pete followed the trend. He had great skill behind the lens and on the computer to make great photos.
Pete was also a lifetime member of the Price Elks Lodge # 1550 in Price.
Pete will be dearly missed by his wife, Betty; daughter Natalie (Larry) Cedeno; sons Fitzgerald (Francie) Petersen, Stacy Peterson and James "Scooter" (Chanta) Peterson; grandchildren Erin, Debon, Justice, Michael James, Brittney, Christopher, Savannah, Dominique and Eli; he is survived by sister Linda (Claire) Davis. Pete was preceded in death by parents Wreda and Blondie Peterson, in laws Florencio and Rebecca Sanchez, brothers Clive Peterson and Lyle Peterson.
Memorial service, Saturday, Jan. 15, 2011, 2 p.m., Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Saturday one hour prior to service. Interment, Price City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of "Pete" at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

The Royals are not in on RA Dickey
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, "The Royals are definitely not in on R.A. Dickey," a rival executive said.
Earlier this week, the Royals were listed in reportes mentioning 8 to 10 teams that had interest in Dickey.
Yesterday, Jayson Stark of ESPN said he spoke with an MLB executive who predicted the Royals will ultimately move top hitting prospect Wil Myers to dramatically improve their starting pitching.
Later, the Kansas City Star said the Royals won't hesitate to deal Myers for Shields.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I still see the Blue Jays and Rangers as most likely to step up efforts to acquire Dickey, but time will tell…
In regards to the Royals, I've heard they have shown interest in Dickey, but they prefer Jon Niese because they have no interest in trading a top young hitter (like Myers) for a rental player. This is why they're also rumored to be in trade talks with the Rays for James Shields and the Red Sox for John Lester. In a perfect world, I'm sure the Royals would prefer to keep Myers and sign a free agent, like Anibal Sanchez. However, if that doesn't happen, I'm sure they'll turn back to the trade market, since reports indicate they're desperate to acquire a young, established starting pitcher.

DEXTER Four months into the 2012-13 school year, the General Brown Board of Education has a clearer picture of the direction in which it wants to head this school year.
Board members decided during a workshop Dec. 17 to keep the same goals they had during the 2011-12 school year, with a few minor changes, and member Daniel J. Dupee II suggested an additional focus on board self-evaluation.
Instead of jumping into a self-evaluation rubric, Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. suggested the remainder of this school year be spent developing that goal.
Throughout the 2012-13 school year, the board will start a committee and develop a policy to carry out the self-evaluation next school year. Members agreed it would make them more accountable for their actions and decisions.
That also aligns with another goal: to expand communication with the public.
Board members said a self-evaluation not only will keep the board on track for accomplishing goals and objectives, but also will make the board as a whole more transparent. That falls in line with yet another board goal: increasing communication and input from district residents.
Id like to be more open with the public and let them have more input, even for a simple dress code, board member Jeffrey West said. Thats the biggest thing I got calls on, but we dont make that, the principals do.
Mr. West said the districts website has been a great tool for relaying any necessary information to district students, parents and taxpayers.
Other board goals include accomplishing strategic plan goals and continuing to assess the infrastructure needs and demographic trends of the district.
While a sub-goal of assessing infrastructure and demographic trends is to continue to seek out sharing of services with neighboring districts, Mr. Dupee asked whether shared services should be a separate goal.
Although the board collectively decided it was best to keep it as is, its members renewed their focus on shared services or possible merger options as school districts face tougher financial years ahead.
A straight merger isnt necessarily the most beneficial, Mr. Vigliotti said. Its very complicated. Economic impact is important, too. The reality is districts are running out of money.
He said there are both internal and external options for sharing services, whether agreements are made in-house with other schools or would require guidance from the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
Right now were looking at food service, and sharing a director with another district, he said. Were crunching numbers, and BOCES is crunching numbers. Those opportunities come around when people retire.
Mr. Vigliotti said he would ask Jefferson-Lewis BOCES Superintendent Jack J. Boak Jr. to attend a future General Brown Board of Education meeting to further discuss ideas with board members.

There are many that suffer from some form of disability or the other and as such, it becomes quite difficult for such persons to use cell phones. If you are one such individual who suffers from some form of vision or hearing loss, you know what a great frustration it is when trying to making use of the latest technological innovations. However, today there are many mobile companies that have taken this into consideration and have started manufacturing mobile phones that can be more accessible to people with disabilities. The perfect example of this is the Unlocked Apple iPhone that has been developed with different in built accessibility features.
If you wish to improve the functionality of the Unlocked iPhone for a disability, you can do the following.
1. Visual Voicemail: Should you have some sort of difficulty in hearing, you can decide on using visual voicemail. Through this, you can have your messages read back to you. Consider for instance that there is some phone number being spoken, but you are unable to hear it clearly, you can use the visual voicemail to play it back at a much slower pace. It will be played in iTunes where you can continuously drag the slider back and forth to re read what it was you were unable to hear the first time.
2. Closed Captioning: With closed captioning, you have the ability of having a message displayed at the bottom of any video currently being watched. Just go to options and make sure that "Closed Captioning" is turned on.
3. Voice-Over: Voice-Over is a very beneficial feature that can be used by persons having a difficult time reading content on the screen. With Voice-Over, it is possible to have a voice read what is currently being shown on the screen of the phone. You can even use the touch screen feature together with the Voice-Over functionality.

Benjamin Church, 54, sought $2.7 million in damages, including $480,000 in medical costs, in connection with injuries he suffered in a 2010 motorcycle crash in Porter.
PARIS, Maine (AP) _ A jury has awarded nearly $1.8 million to a Sumner man who suffered severe injuries in a motorcycle crash in Porter in August 2010.
Benjamin Church had sued two other people involved in the crash for negligence, including the estate of his friend and fellow motorcycle rider, Patrick Cadigan. Cadigan died in the crash.
The Sun Journal reports that the Oxford County Superior Court jury on Wednesday found that Cadigan was negligent, but also found that the driver of another vehicle, Donald Burrell of Lebanon, N.H., was not negligent and not liable for damages.
The 54-year-old Church sought $2.7 million in damages, including $480,000 in medical costs, his inability to work, loss of enjoyment of life and the pain and suffering he has endured and will endure.

Rajul found me by accident, wandering lost down one of the island's back roads. Turns out he was a jeweler, back from the marketplace with a bag full of beautiful blue stones. Pouring some into his palm, he gestured towards the vast blue water which was, well, everywhere. "Sagara," he said with a smile. I didn't need to understand Hindi to get his meaning.
He was kind enough to point me back towards my villa, but wouldn't let me leave without the nickel tour of his workshop. It was worth every penny. Our Sagara Collection reminds me of his work, those stones and most importantly, that impeccable, gorgeous blue.

Former South Jefferson girls lacrosse player Kayla Scully leads all of NCAA Division I in save percentage as a sophomore goaltender for Canisius College.
Through games of last weekend, Scully holds a .546 save percentage and is second in the NCAA in goals-against with a 6.69 average.
Canisius defeated Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference foes Siena and Fairfield last week. Scully allowed just three goals and made six saves against Siena, and stopped a career-high 12 shots in the Golden Griffins 13-6 win over Fairfield.
That marked nine straight wins for Canisius (11-3), which clinched its first regular-season MAAC championship.
Another former South Jefferson player, sophomore Whitley Perry, is eighth among Canisius scorers with 11 points (8 goals-3 assists). Perry has played in 12 games, starting five.
Former General Brown player Cody Kucharski, a freshman, has played five games for the Griffins.
Taylor Hughes, a 2010 Watertown High School graduate, scored six goals to go with two assists to power the Division III St. John Fisher womens lacrosse team to a 17-9 victory over Stevens Institute of Technology on Friday.
The Cardinals improved to 10-3 overall and 4-1 in the Empire 8 Conference. Hughes, a junior, leads the team with 57 points (36 goals and 21 assists) on the season.
Freshman Chrissy Cook, who graduated from Carthage last June, added two goals in Fridays victory. She has seven goals and one assists on the year.
Steve Pike, the head coach for the SUNY Potsdam volleyball team for 11 seasons, was announced as head coach of the SUNY Brockport volleyball team on Wednesday.
Pike arrives at Brockport after leading Potsdam to a 23-17 mark this past season and a spot in the ECAC Upstate/Metro Tournament.
Pike coached the Bears since 2001 and was the SUNYAC Coach of the Year in 2005. He also coached the Potsdam softball team from 2002-05. In 2010, he organized the Bears first international trip as Potsdam played in Costa Rica against that countrys national team.
Brockport went 8-24 last season.
