Cr Moore said the City of Sydney was prepared to sell the site to the State Government at a discounted price because the area is desperate for a new school. |
"Pyrmont/Ultimo is an area with the highest density in Australia," Councillor Moore said. |
"There's been huge development there in the last couple of decades and a lot of stamp duty has gone to the Government and the Government really owes this community a much-needed school." |
Elizabeth Elenius from Pyrmont Action Incorporated said it was devastating news. |
"It really has come out of the blue; even as short a time ago as three weeks ago we were all invited to another planning consultation, and we were so excited about the whole new way of thinking about providing educational facilities," she said. |
"What was promised was a primary school for up to 1,000 students, a childcare centre for 80 children, they were talking about an after school care facility as well as shared community facilities like a sports centre and a hall - they were looking at all sorts of innovative ideas." |
Ms Elenius said the demand for a school would only increase as the area grows. |
"The original plan recognised the population growth associated with the Bays Precinct Development project and other developments - I mean they're not planning ahead at all here," she said. |
The Ultimo Public School P&C group has called an extraordinary meeting for Wednesday night with president Janine Barrett saying the news has left her "reeling". |
"Our school will cease operation at the end of term 4 this year - the existing school is to be demolished and rebuilt as a high rise facility, possibly 10 stories, on the current site," she said. |
"The Department at this stage do not have a clear idea of where our children will be educated during the redevelopment phase, although did mention in passing Wentworth Park or a yet to be identified location in Petersham." |

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli said on Monday that the Italian champions were not involved in talks over a breakaway European Super League and remained committed to UEFA competitions. |
Earlier this month, German magazine Der Spiegel reported that plans for a European Super League were back on the agenda after several previous discussions came to nothing. |
Der Spiegel and European Investigative Collaborations, a network of international media, citing leaked documents, reported that a fresh plan had recently been drafted by Spanish company Key Capital Partners for Real Madrid. |
The plan foresees 11 top European clubs creating a Super League in 2021 when the current agreement on the Champions League format and revenue sharing ends. |
Juventus were named as one of 11 prospective founders for the closed breakaway league but Agnelli told the BBC that the Italian club had not been involved. |
Agnelli, who is also chairman of the European Club Association, which represents more than 200 European clubs, said: “I can confirm we have never seen, never discussed, never been involved in the creation of this document. |
“We are fully engaged with UEFA in shaping the game going forward,” he added. |
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin told the BBC that European soccer’s governing body continued to look at new ideas for its club competitions but that a Super League was ruled out. |
“The Super League will not happen. It is in a way a fiction now or a dream,” said Ceferin. |
“We have some ideas. All I can say is that any Super League is out of the question. Participation stays. And everybody will have an opportunity to compete in every European competition,” he added. |
UEFA currently runs Europe’s elite Champions League club competition and the second-tier Europa League, while it is expected to vote for a new third competition next month. |
Ceferin said UEFA needed to make sure that emerging football markets were able to tap in to their tournaments. |
“We have to think about Poland with 60 million people. We have to think about (countries like) Turkey, we have to think about Russia,” added the Slovenian. |
Agnelli said that any expansion of European football, in terms of a new structure for the Champions League, could see less domestic football. |
“Evidently if you want to have an overall rebalancing of European football and more international (European-wide) football all that would have to go hand in hand with a reduction of domestic games,” said the Juventus chairman. |
So how do we reconcile our settled-ness today with telling the story of leaving? |
As I write this, it's almost Purim, which can mean one thing only—four weeks til Pesach! Time to start eating down the pantry, adjusting the grocery purchases, and—oh yes, clean (repeating my Passover mantra: shmutz is not chometz, shmutz is not chometz). |
There are many steps that herald the Passover prep, but the one that really means the most to me is when my grandmother's soup pot comes out of the box. Grandma only used these pots and pans one week a year, for 50 years, and when I inherited them, they were practically brand new. |
I can see the fill line she used when she added the water. She never measured; why should I? But no matter how many people are sitting around the table, that fill line is never wrong. There's enough—and enough to send a little home. |
Which brings me to the most curious part of the Passover section of Torah, in Exodus. In Exodus 12, we read of the first Passover dinner. It is late at night. All the Israelite slaves are huddled in their homes, waiting for the messenger of death to visit all the Egyptian first borns. They have taken the lamb's blood a... |
No leftovers!? If there is anything different between that "seder" and ours, it's leftovers. There is always extra food, right? |
I think that's the difference between leaving and staying, people on the move and people who have a home. People who leave for good aren't going to leave anything behind. People who have leftovers know they'll be around long enough to have the next meal in the same town, if not the same kitchen. Settled people have lef... |
So how do we reconcile our settled-ness today with telling the story of leaving? How does our recounting of the Exodus, out into the wilderness still have resonance, when we are blessed enough to be sharing our meal with family and friends, a full table and certainly, leftovers. |
There is gratitude, of course; we are grateful to be safe, out of slavery, and not on the run. But so often we speak of other kinds of slavery. In Egypt, we were saddled with oppressive labor, so much so that eventually we became "kotzer ruach", our spirits were cut off, stunted. We all encounter and become enslaved to... |
And leftovers? Well, when we have freed ourselves from that which enslaves us, we don't want to take any of it with us; rather, finish it, burn it and be done with it. Take only the story, the empathy, the heart-scars that will remind us why we left, and how valuable our freedom is. |
May your Pesach be filled with joy, meaning, family and friends—and tasty leftovers! |

Greece's three biggest banks won board approval to take part in the country's debt buyback which expires on Friday, putting Athens on track to meet targets set by international lenders. |
The buyback scheme, in which investors must declare their interest by Friday, is central to efforts by Greece's euro zone and International Monetary Fund lenders to cut its debt to manageable levels and unlock aid for the stricken country. |
As expected, the country's four biggest lenders - National Bank, Alpha, Eurobank and Piraeus bank - each said they had approval to participate, but did not specify how much of their sovereign debt holding they would tender. |
Under the scheme, Athens aims to spend 10 billion euros of borrowed money to buy back bonds far below their nominal value, in a bid to cut debt by a net 20 billion euros. |
Banking sources earlier said the banks had asked their boards to approve selling back as much as their entire holdings. Smaller Attica bank's board also approved participation. |
"The proposals by banks to their boards were positive on the buyback offer, asking for approval to participate by up to 100 percent," said one banker, who declined to be named. |
The buyback is the latest in three years of euro zone efforts to resolve Greece's problems. The economy has shrunk by 20 percent in the last five years and unemployment has hit a record 26.2 percent, pushing public anger to new highs. |
Athens has pressured its banks, which hold an estimated 17 billion euros ($22 billion) out of the 63 billion in eligible bonds, to sell and they had been expected to do so since they depend on bailout funds that a successful buyback would unlock. |
Analysts said the better-than-expected terms announced by Athens earlier this week would draw enough foreign investors as well, ensuring success. |
"Athens put forth a reasonable if not generous offer for hedge funds to participate," said Sassan Ghahramani, CEO at New York-based Macro Advisers, a hedge fund consultancy. |
Finance ministry officials denied the government planned to extend the deadline for bids beyond Friday, dismissing a Greek newspaper report suggesting the deadline could be extended to early next week. The deadline expires at 1700 GMT. |
The buyback is part of a broader debt relief package worth 40 billion euros ($52 billion) agreed by Greece's euro zone and International Monetary Fund lenders last month. |
The price range set for the buyback by Athens varied from a minimum of 30.2 to 38.1 percent and a maximum of 32.2 to 40.1 percent of the principal amount, depending on the maturities of the 20 series of outstanding bonds. |
The buyback is being conducted through a Dutch auction, which allows Athens to assess the level of demand before setting the price. The settlement date is expected to be Dec. 17. |
Two in three Greeks have a negative opinion of the pro-bailout government, a survey by Metron Analysis published in the Efimerida Syntakton newspaper showed on Friday. |
If elections were held now, the main opposition party SYRIZA would win with 22 percent of the vote over the co-ruling New Democracy party, which would only muster 19.8 percent of the vote, the poll showed. |

Well, in case you were wondering, the way Under the Dome introduced Natalie Zea (Justified, The Following) as Max in 'The Fourth Hand' will probably be what it looks like when the show needs to add a new character to the fluctuating list of people trapped in Chester's Mill. Still, you have to hand it to the show, for a... |
In fact, 'The Fourth Hand' actually does a fairly decent job handling the initial introduction of Zea as the drug dealing Max. With all the talk of the dome disturbing people and making them say things like "stop talking to me, dome!" or prone to seizures or visions of prophetic teenaged "apparitions," the moment Big J... |
Naturally, this is not the case and Max is actually there to shed some light on Big Jim's criminal endeavors – which include the stockpiling of propane and Reverend Coggins' one-stop body-and -soul shop that was also a great to score a fairly nasty drug called Rapture – as well as tie Barbie to the mix, as his employer... |
Still, it's good to see the writers beginning to address more of the specifics of Big Jim's undertaking, as well as once more shining the spotlight on the secret Barbie's been hoping to keep from everyone – especially Julia. But these are things that need to be spelled out, inasmuch as 'The Fourth Hand' actually does s... |
Again, these are plot points that needed some clarification and although Zea's Max ultimately works to be little more than a bridge between two characters who are quickly moving to opposite ends of the archetypal spectrum, at least the dialogue between them didn't require a constant reiteration of plot developments or ... |
But, like the Big Jim/Barbie plot, at least the episode has the presence of mind to follow up on the mini-dome that was formerly in the woods – until a somnambulistic Joe dug it up and put it in his barn – and the premonition that "the monarch will be crowned," and that statement's relationship with Angie and her tatto... |
For the most part, this seemed to be an episode intended to readjust the status quo and put the focus on Joe, Norrie and Angie, while illustrating the darker sides of Big Jim and Barbie. For all the semblance of discovery, however, 'The Fourth Wall' just wound up posing more questions. |
A Ho Chi Minh City court sentenced a Chinese girl to life for smuggling meth Wednesday. |
Zhou Bing Xue, 23, was arrested at Tan Son Nhat airport in October last year with nearly two kilograms of methamphetamine in her luggage after a flight from Bangladesh, Tuoi Tre Youth) newspaper reported. |
The indictment said Zhou met with an African man only known as Hanny through the Internet in 2011 when she was in college and she was hired as part of his cross-border transport team. |
She finished one mission in May last year by picking up a suitcase in Hanoi, bringing it back to China for a payment of 3,500 Yuan (US$575) plus air tickets. |
Zhou was supposed to deliver the Bangladeshi suitcase to a Vietnamese woman for 4,000 Yuan payment but she was arrested. |
On August 20, a 31-year-old Thai woman was sentenced to death after a Ho Chi Minh City court found her guilty of smuggling nearly two kilograms of cocaine from Brazil to Vietnam last October. |

The Cougars came in 0-3 in title games, including each of the past two seasons. This achievement was a long time coming, though it was also “the most unlikely team to do it,” Baker said. |
Capital Christian started the season 0-6, set a modest goal of reducing turnovers and gladly welcomed Colbert, a skilled guard-forward, back into the fold in December. On the eve of the playoffs, Colbert told Baker that she wanted to compete for her old starting guard job, which she did. |
Colbert had 18 points and five rebounds for the Cougars (18-11), and Cierra McClain scored 12 points. Pamela Radach had 12 points for Ripon Christian (16-8), the winner of 11 section titles since 1987. |
Vanden girls 83, Rio Linda 51 – The top-seeded Vikings (28-3) won their first D-III title after recent near misses, completing a 4-0 section sweep by an average of nearly 38 points. Rio Linda, seeded third, was in its first title game in 30 seasons. |
Julia Blackshell-Fair scored 27 points for Vanden, and freshman Makaila Sanders had 16 for Rio Linda (25-6) with sophomore Brandy Huffhines contributing 14 for her coaching father, Jerry Huffhines. Both teams advance to the Northern California Regional tournament that starts next week. |

It was the first such title for Country Day (26-4), which will advance to the NorCal playoffs. |
Valley Christian Academy girls 59, Turlock Christian 52 – Lily Haggerty had 27 points and 15 rebounds to power the Lions to a D-VI title repeat over the same school on Thursday at Galt. |

Google needs to learn some manners. |
At the company's #MadeByGoogle event on Tuesday, everything was going smoothly as Google announced its much anticipated Pixel mobile phones and other exciting releases, but suddenly the live stream came crashing to an abrupt halt. |
Angry and confused viewers shared their opinions on Twitter after the event ended with essentially no warning, no goodbye and definitely no Sia concert. |
All we got was a lousy "Thanks for watching" screen displaying the website: madeby.google.com. |
The Google fans have spoken, calling the hasty exit unprofessional, tacky and unsatisfying. |
google stream just .... ended? literally the most abrupt and unsatisfying ending ever? |
@google That abrupt ending to the #madebygoogle live stream was tacky. Lol. Still, some exciting stuff was announced today. |
@google Pretty abrupt ending to the stream, you guys really need to work on your presentation and customer-facing skills. |
I want the abrupt end to the Google live stream to be a new Meme. |
