Out in the melon patch | VIDEO
Harvest is hard work, but reward is sweet for workers, consumers
JOHNSON, Ind. — As the hollowed-out school bus inches forward in the watermelon field, three migrant workers on each side pitch and catch the heavy fruit. It's a conveyor belt of arms and hands moving in perfect harmony.
With precision honed by long hours in the hot sun, the final toss is aimed at the two stackers in the back of the bus who are so adept at their jobs they can wipe sweat in midcatch.
Forget that the dust is as thick as blown insulation. It's another day in the melon harvest.
"These guys are good," said Leonard Frey, admiring the artistry from his truck.
"One crew can get five semitrailer loads a day. Obviously, they're a tremendous help to our company."
The 41-year-old Frey oversees the 1,000 acres of the Frey Farms Produce operation in Gibson and Posey counties. The field hands began the cantaloupe and watermelon harvest in mid-June and might not finish until Labor Day.
"It's been a wet year for melons," says Frey, who has a 15-member management team in addition to the 100 or so migrant workers.
"Some of our fields got way too much water, but overall the crop should be pretty good."
An acre of watermelons will produce about 4,000 units. Increasingly, Frey is turning to seedless varieties.
The farm has a fleet of about 30 old school buses that have been converted into melon carriers.
"We'll pay something like $3,500 for a bus that's being retired from the school system," Frey said.
"We take the seats and sides out and turn them into farm trucks."
Logistics experts at the melon warehouse make sure the product is shipped the day the fruit is taken from the vines.
"We don't turn away locals who want to work in the fields," Frey said, "but the truth of the matter is that it's hot, hard work for as many as 12 hours a day. We do have some area folks who serve as bus drivers."
The farm has employed migrants — most of whom live in Mexico — for 10 years. They live in Cynthiana, Ind., in a building that used to be a nursing home.
"We bought the place and got it state-certified," Frey said, adding that the living conditions have to pass random inspections.
"It's to our advantage to treat them well because we want them to come back year after year. We've been very successful with our retention rate. One reason is that we don't put any kind of quota system on how many melons are picked. We know they're working hard. We don't need to police our crews."
The migrants are in this country on six-month work visas. They'll stay until the pumpkin crop comes in, then return home. Pay is upward of $8 an hour.
Sergio Buiz, 50, supervises some of the crews.
"I have my three boys, one brother and two nephews with me," Buiz says. "I think they are all very happy."
In Mexico, men will approach Buiz and ask to come to Indiana to pick melons.
"He chooses the ones he thinks will have the most success in America," Frey said.
"I trust his judgment. I consider Sergio one of my main men."
In 2006, cantaloupes were grown on 2,900 acres in Indiana.
Watermelons were planted on 7,500 acres. Despite the strong area branding of Posey County melons, Knox County growers lead the state in production of both fruits.
"Our fields are irrigated by inflatable hoses that are put down in the spring and then reused," Frey said.
"You've got cultivating, weeding and getting the soil ready for next year. There's always something to do on a farm."
Buiz says the quit rate of his field hands is low.
"It's all about the work," he said. "We can rest at the end of the day."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Seems the Democrats will do anything to keep absolute power as to avoid elections. I know eastern N. C. is a Democratic hotbed but look out. Foreigners from other states and other parts of N. C. are moving here and quite a few are Republicans.

Envoy Mortgage golf event aids End 68 Hours of Hunger
Sunday, June 15, 2014
DOVER — Envoy Mortgage hosted some 40 referral partners at a special event benefitting End 68 Hours of Hunger's Strafford County programs on June 4. Calling the event "Putt an End to Hunger", Envoy invited its partners to play a round of mini-golf at Hilltop Fun Center in Somersworth, enjoy lunch, and win some terrific raffle prizes.
Volunteers purchase the food, pack the bags and deliver them to the offices of local schools. From there a school employee delivers the bag to the participating child. The students take the food home to eat on the weekend, and the cycle starts again, every week. Each bag of food costs $10 per week per child, and provides two breakfasts, two lunches and three diners with some left over to share. |

Peppers, Kiedis celebrate with energetic show
Anthony Kiedis is living proof that 50 is the new 20.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman turned a half-century-old in Milwaukee Thursday, celebrating the occasion with his band and a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center. Initially wearing a formal black jacket with tails, it wasn't long before he was shirtless. And very rarely, if at all Thursday, was he still - whether he was spinning around like a karate master caught in a cyclone or busting out his own interpretation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" galloping horse shuffle - and those moves were during just one song, "Around The World." (Fans brought their own special moves as well, at least in section 407 where I sat; at one point, I found myself completely smashed between two full-body dancers with no concept of personal space.) »Read Full Article(6)

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – House Democratic leaders meeting Wednesday on Maryland's Eastern Shore had a straightforward message: Tuesday's vote to raise the debt limit shouldn't be the chamber's only accomplishment of 2014.
Speaking at the start of their annual retreat, top Democrats said they will continue to push House Republicans to allow votes on a range of issues: raising the minimum wage, overhauling immigration laws, and restoring long-term unemployment benefits. The House of Representatives shouldn't stop just because they averted a default, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D., Calif.) said.
"This should be a year of action. There's no reason why 2014 should be a year of shutdown politics or why we just pack up and put it away and say there's no more that we can do," Mr. Becerra said.

Democrats have seized on comments from some Republicans in the wake of Tuesday's vote that suggest Republican leaders do not plan on bringing up any other major measures this year. Rep. Joseph Crowley (D., N.Y.) said he's skeptical whether even measures with bipartisan support will get a chance to receive votes.
"We also hope this is a watershed moment, that more will come from this, but I'm not holding my breath," Mr. Crowley told assembled reporters.
House Democrats are huddling for three days here, holding strategy meetings that will be highlighted by appearances by both President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

A cash gift between $25-$100 is gracious, especially since many teachers pay out-of-pocket for supplies for class activities. However, something more personalized such as a gift certificate for a spa day is an added bonus. Going in with other parents on a gift can help minimize costs, but you should check with your child's school regarding its gift policy first.

The licensed and bonded craftsmen at Athena Maintenance & Construction approach every repair and maintenance job with a fresh perspective. They know every home is different, which is why they take time assessing each painting project, window replacement, electrical repair, and carpentry job before quoting an estimate. The benefit of this extra care not only shows in the quality of the labor, but it also keeps expenses within the client's budget.
Just Windows has been creating clear, pristine views of backyards and city streets for more than two decades. The company's dedicated teams wash windows in 5,000 homes and 300 buildings every year, spritzing and shining away dust and dirt from windowpanes, tracks, and frames. But don't be fooled by the name—while window cleaning may be Just Window's specialty, the crew can also clean out gutters, pressure wash home exteriors, or even remove debris from construction projects.
After three decades of working for mechanical companies, engineer Doug Crowe opened Choice Mechanical. Mr. Crowe and his team draw on expertise in HVAC equipment, plumbing, and commercial refrigeration during onsite repairs and maintenance services. Depending on the service, they might clean dust from air ducts, give water heaters a tune-up, or install air conditioners just before the sun throws another one of its temper tantrums.
In 1982, brothers Jerry and Kenny Bell headed off to Arizona's Universal Technical Institute to learn the ins and outs of the HVAC field. When they came back to Elk Grove, they earned their chops at various companies while helping out with their father's new pizza parlor, Pizza Bell. In 1991, they decided to strike out on their own?two men in a pickup truck on a mission to repair and maintain heating and air-conditioning systems. Their only advertisements were flyers pasted on top of Pizza Bell boxes and willing strangers' foreheads.
They've come a long way since pizza-based advertising, employing an experienced staff of industry certified, professionally trained, background-checked and drug-tested technicians who thoroughly tune up air-conditioning units with a 30-point cleaning, calibration, and fine-tuning process. In addition to replacing heating and air-conditioning systems, their technicians can parachute to homes to inspect, maintain, and repair entire HVAC and furnace systems.

A 23-year-old Chesterfield County man is in jail, charged with abducting, raping and killing a 30-year-old Lancaster County woman in Kershaw County.
Although Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies did not charge a 23-year-old Camden woman for larceny, she could still end appearing before a summary court judge for allegedly keeping a video game console from its rightful owner.
The middle of 2011 took us past the Wateree River where a pirate ship temporarily weighed anchor, brought us the discovery of missing evidence from a 2010 trial, saw a longtime county official leave and a new city archives director come on board, and run a dog pack down in Camden's historic district.
Last week, I named Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews as my 2011 Person of the Year. Inevitably, any thoughts of law enforcement bring me thoughts of crime. Sometimes reading crime reports can be the most enjoyable part of the day.
A review of this newspaper's top headlines during 2011 find that most focused on four subjects: new Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews; politics, in terms of new elected and appointed officials; crime; and the city of Camden's sports complex/YMCA controversy. For all intents and purposes, there was no getting away from these stories.
Dot Goodwin said she was in Camden's city hall when Camden City Council was discussing the then-pending hospitality tax several years ago when she noticed something.
Camden City Council focused on financial reports and electric utility projects during its Dec. 13 work session. The meeting was a split one, starting at 5 p.m. ahead of a long 6:30 p.m. regular meeting and picking up again around 8 p.m. that evening. Rickie Tiller of Cantey, Tiller, Pierce & Green LLP, presented a brief report on the city's Fiscal Year 2011 audit.

In February 1974, New York Magazine published a long, in-depth article about the fight between the then-current backers of the existing New York Coliseum and the supporters of a proposed convention center. Among the supporters: Mayor John Lindsay. About half-way through the story, readers are introduced to someone helping the opponents of the proposed project: Herbert J. Farber. Opponents hired his public relations firm to "immediately begin orchestrating the resistance," according to writer Nicholas Pileggi.
A 39-year-old Camden man faces multiple charges following an incident at a U.S. 601 South, Lugoff bar involving a number of Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies and employees
(The online version of this story has been modified to correct an error in the fourth paragraph. Originally, the C-I erroneously attributed the term "perfect storm" to a statement by Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO David Pankau instead of to BCBS board chairman Ed Sellers, as indicated here, who was a speaker at the KershawHealth Foundation's recent Baruch Dinner in November. The C-I regrets the error.)
Like him or not, there is no doubt Sheriff Jim Matthews has made an impact here in Kershaw County.
In what appears to have been an attempt to go joyriding in an old Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) truck, deputies arrested a 48-year-old Cassatt man and two men in their 20s Tuesday night. Deputies responded to a witness' call that the three men were trying to steal the vehicle from inside the Kershaw County landfill compound on Park Road.

It may become illegal for Camden residents to own a rooster. It's one of a long list of changes proposed by the Camden Planning Commission (CPC) to the city's zoning ordinance. The proposed changes are the result of two years worth of work by the CPC -- which met 26 different times -- to modernize, streamline and otherwise make zoning regulations in Camden easier to follow, according to Camden Planner Shawn Putnam.

Texas Chainsaw 3D
has released a special New Year themed TV spot, in which the audience is reintroduced to Leatherface to the strains of Auld Lang Syne.
The new film will pick up where the original left off, showing the disgruntled townsfolk finally rising up against the cannibalistic Sawyer family and burning their house to the ground.
Fast forward several decades and we follow a young woman who mysteriously inherits some land in Texas from a relative she never knew existed. And who should still be knocking about this land? Yep, you guessed right.
Take a look, below…
To be honest, we're not expecting anything particularly high-quality from this one, but we'd be lying if we said the sight of a chainsaw resting upon a trapped girl's arm didn't give us the creeps somewhat…
Directed by John Luessenhop and starring Alexandra Daddario, Scott Eastwood and Gunnar Hansen,
Texas Chainsaw 3D
will open in the UK on 4 January 2013.

Well, I'm not sure less pesticides is better than more pesticides. Why start from the assumption that a chemical introduced into a foodstuff is probably harmful? I don't know very much about the effects of pesticides on the body, except DDT, so I don't see a reason to avoid them. Same for e numbers.
If the cost difference was marginal, I would eat organic every time, because in my view they're more environmentally friendly. But in the UK, organic veggies are generally considerably dearer. For example, garlic, mushrooms, beetroot are three things I just wouldn't buy as organic because they are 60-100% more expensive.
2. Again, the ratios may well be different, but to what extent does this affect health? Cruciferous veggies have nutrients that preserve collagen, and might prevent wrinkling, but you'd have to eat kilos of them per day to have any real benefit.
It matters
. And, I'm working on it (the eating kilos of food every day thing)
The wikipedia link supports the idea that consumption of omega 3s, or the ratio of 3:6, is a variable that affects health. Fine. I didn't dispute that at all. What I'm saying is that the differences in organic vs non-organic farmed products may make an insignificant contribution to that.
A quick google gave me one study (no idea how valid it is) showing about 16mg/g fat of both Omega 3s and 6s in grass fed cows and 8mg 3s and 42 mg/g fat in predominantly grain-fed. But this doesn't tell me if it's better to drink milk from grass-fed cows. Without knowing how much of each substance really has an effect on health, the figures don't tell me anything.

The lush and productive Courthouse Garden east of the U.S. Courthouse in Eugene has garnered national attention as an innovative collaboration between the city of Eugene, the University of Oregon, local businesses and the judicial system, but it may get bulldozed and paved over if a local credit union or another private business buys the 1.9 acres of city-owned property.

After city and county funding cuts led to the jettisoning of the Lane County Animal Services (LCAS) program in favor of Greenhill Humane Society running the shelter and splitting up the welfare officers by city and county in July of this year, questions abound as to whether or not the LCAS Advisory Committee may be next on the chopping block.
While many Eugeneans have already settled on voting for Democrats or Republicans in the Nov. 6 election, other parties are on the ballot, and third parties are actively registering new voters.

As evidenced by the infamous anti-Islam video that attracted a whirlwind of attention after it was alleged to have been linked to the Benghazi embassy riots in September, religion continues to remain a touchy subject these days.

Just days before Hurricane Sandy smacked into the East Coast, turning New York City streets into waterways, a tsunami advisory was issued for the West Coast from Alaska into California, as well as Hawaii, as a result of an 7.7 earthquake off the coast of British Columbia.

Advanced Distillation Technologies
Design, Control and Applications
Distillation has historically been the main method for separating mixtures in the chemical process industry. However, despite the flexibility and widespread use of distillation processes, they still remain extremely energy inefficient. Increased optimization and novel distillation concepts can deliver substantial benefits, not just in terms of significantly lower energy use, but also in reducing capital investment and improving eco-efficiency. While likely to remain the separation technology of choice for the next few decades, there is no doubt that distillation technologies need to make radical changes in order to meet the demands of the energy-conscious society.
Advanced Distillation Technologies: Design, Control and Applications gives a deep and broad insight into integrated separations using non-conventional arrangements, including both current and upcoming process intensification technologies.
It includes:
- Key concepts in distillation technology
- Principles of design, control, sizing and economics of distillation
- Dividing-wall column (DWC) – design, configurations, optimal operation and energy efficient and advanced control
- DWC applications in ternary separations, azeotropic, extractive and reactive distillation
- Heat integrated distillation column (HIDiC) – design, equipment and configurations
- Heat-pump assisted applications (MVR, TVR, AHP, CHRP, TAHP and others)
- Cyclic distillation technology – concepts, modeling approach, design and control issues
- Reactive distillation – fundamentals, equipment, applications, feasibility scheme
- Results of rigorous simulations in Mathworks Matlab & Simulink, Aspen Plus, Dynamics and Custom Modeler
Containing abundant examples and industrial case studies, this is a unique resource that tackles the most advanced distillation technologies – all the way from the conceptual design to practical implementation.
The author of Advanced Distillation Technologies, Dr. Ir. Anton A. Kiss, has been awarded the Hoogewerff Jongerenprijs 2013. Find out more (website in Dutch)...

Why is this story in the crime section? It's not like ISIL kidnapped Goto from Japan, he handed himself over to them. He doesn't understand who he was dealing with. Now it's a government problem but J-gov doesn't have much bargaining power. Just dependent on the kindness of strangers, Jordan. Not sure if Jordan will go along with the deal.

I don't think you can say what Charlie Hebdo is hate speech, offense maybe to some but satire can offend. A legal definition is different than a simple dictionary one. Here is a US legal definition:
Hate speech is a communication that carries no meaning other than the expression of hatred for some group, especially in circumstances in which the communication is likely to provoke violence. It is an incitement to hatred primarily against a group of persons defined in terms of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like. Hate speech can be any form of expression regarded as offensive to racial, ethnic and religious groups and other discrete minorities or to women.

I don't understand. Japan has been a target for a long time. Just that Japan isn't a hot target as the West. Don't you remember the attempted bombing of a JAL flight? Only one Japanese was killed because the terrorist had an old seating plan and the bomb was a couple seats from where it needed to be to bring down the airliner.
I feel sorry for the two and Goto is a Christian, more reason not to be there. First rule of rescue, don't try if it will get the rescuer killed or needing rescue. It only puts more lives at risk. I read somewhere that Goto was warned no to go but he said that he was not European or American, he is Japanese. So it seems that he did not understand the environment he had been reporting on. As for Yukawa, I don't understand at all why he went there unless he want to finish the suicide attempt he committed in Japan.
In that region they have a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend and the friend of my enemy is my enemy. Where do you think Japan lies?

AU, unless it is design in Japan, I'm not impressed. As for a diesel sub, unless it is nuclear, there is a problem. I was glad to hear that Japan started to build their oun come rial jet, but also sorry to hear that they could make it with composite or carbon fiber. The 200 km limit means nothing since Japan has JAXA. Still, design is everything.
Sorry but giving supplies or money, just makes Japan seem less commited and a bit cowardly. I think Japan did send some forces to the Middle East for supply and humanitarian jobs but soldiers need combat experience. I'm not saying put boots on the ground now since that would be counter-productive. But sooner or later, Japan will need to do something or Japan will never have a military that can defend her.

Japan fight ISIL? The JSDF would be slaughtered. They have no experience being soldiers, just playing soldier. And if 2 kidnapped citizens can active Article 9, what about all the Japanese kidnapped by North Korea? There is only a cease fire and not an end to the UN Korean War. Ofcouse Japan did not participate except to profit from that war. Then again the JSDF is too small to much and Japan is not ready for what happens to soldiers in war once they come home. It is also questionable if Japan's young adults can be soldiers. They have been raised to be pacifists. It would take 10 to 20 years of working with active military countries in combat zones to get experienced staff officers. Japan doesn't even make their own equipment. It' not like 1930's Japan, were they had the Kenpaitai to keep people in line. J public is not ready.

Never understood why the 47 are considered heroes. Their lord was a hot headed idiot that couldn't control himself. His underlings were not smart enough to pay a bribe to make the lord's life easier. It took too long, 2 years, for the 47 to claim it for honor instead of revenge. The Shogun only yielded to the ignorant public support to let the 47 die with honor even though they did not follow bushido. In a time of peace, their clan was out of step with the times.

In the west, Christmas comes with traditions. Christmas dinner can have ham, turkey, roast, string beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, apple pie, mince pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, ice cream, cake, fruitcake, hot rum, champagne, hot chocolate, etc. It came be a combination or even have fish, crab or oysters, it depends on what part of the US you are and the ethnic background. When I was young, we had turkey with stuffing and ham, string beans, sweet potato casserole, cake, wine, soda, eggnog, You don't have to eat it all. I didn't like ham so I never ate any when I was a kid. White meat turkey and stuffing with gravy was my favorite and cranberry sauce, not so much.

After all Abe grandfather was Minister of Labor when Japan used slave labor. Though never trialed, he was held as a war criminal until the Korean War change US policy toward Japan. And he became Prime Minister since the U.S. was more worried about communists in Japan than the old regime. As for the U.S. wanting a war with Japan, that is not true but it wasn't unexpected. That is why the fleet was in Hawaii instead of San Diago. The British knew about the attack on Peal Harbor but didn't tell the US since they needed the U.S. to join the fight against Hitler. Japan would have lost sooner but the first 2 year were concentrated in Europe. Also in 1905, Teddy Roosevelt predicted that Japan would attack the U.S. in a future terrible war.

I guess most of you don't know that the CDC has no authority but to provide guidance and recommendations to the local public health authorities. So the Texas Public Health Department is the authority in Dallas not the CDC.
Posted in: Obama: Ebola monitoring must be 'more aggressive'
If you don't stop the outbreak at the source, no travel ban will make a difference. WHO estimates that by December there will be 10,000 cases a week and in 2015 there will be 1.5 million cases. Looks like a good chance that this will become a pandemic. No travel ban will help you then. You already have cases in Spain and Germany, stop all flights to those countries too? Can you say economic collapse.

Kid The Traveler - The Stoves On
Artist: Kid The Traveler
Producer: Kid The Traveler
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 2 votes )
Right from the opening lines of Kid The Traveler's latest feature ("I masturbate with my right arm / Never been a lucky lefty.") you know you are in for something different, strange and captivating. On this Booth-exclusive world premiere, Kid showcases a truly unique style that will stick in your brain long after The Stoves On ends. While his self-produced beat is slurred and eclectic, his vocal performance is just as varied as the instrumental. Kid mixes grungy, distorted singing with a cutting, brash flow that hammers home the joint's don't-give-a-f**k, out-of-left-field vibe. There is not currently any news on a larger release, but those left craving more can check out the artist's July Booth debut, TUDAY.

After a disappointing season last year, Inter Milan will be looking to bounce back this season. They'll need to make a few signings to make that possible...
Last Season's Performance Serie A: 6th UEFA Champions League: Round of 16 Coppa Italia: Quarterfinals |
Positions that need reinforcements
Inter would be desperate to keep hold of Sneijder
Inter will be deprived the services of Lucio, Diego Forlan and Goran Pandev for the next season. The departure of these three players will leave the Nerazzurri in a rut. The defense will probably be weakened after Lucio's exit and the likes of Christian Chivu, Andrea Ranocchia and Walter Samuel will need to step up their game. Matias Silvestre has been signed as Lucio's replacement. Ivan Cordoba has retired at the end of last season. Inter might need someone to replace Maicon if he leaves.
The midfield won't be a major headache for Stramaccioni as he'd able to count on Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso, Fredy Guarin and Wesley Sneijder, provided the latter doesn't leave. Dejan Stankovic might be a possible candidate on the transfer list. Ricardo Alvarez, Mariga, Obi and Andrea Poli might feature more this season. Inter may need to sign one midfielder to add more depth to their squad.
With the departure of Diego Forlan and Goran Pandev, the forward department looks blunt. Diego Milito is the only known face with Rodrigo Palacio tipped to lead the line with him. Stramaccioni hinted at the possible departure of Giampaolo Pazzini and signed Coutinho from Espanyol for that purpose.
Likely Acquisitions
Inter have already signed goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, Jonathan, Mariga, Coutinho, Palacio, Matias Silvestre to reinforce the squad after several big name players leaving.
Mattia Destro has been heavily linked with a move back to his old club. However, Inter are just one of the many Serie A sides said to be interested in signing Destro, who is coming off the back of a terrific season with Siena
Polish winger Jakub Blaszczykowski is another player linked to Inter during this transfer window. The Polish international's agent claimed to have been contacted by 5 clubs including Inter, Lazio and Liverpool.
Gaby Mudingayi's agent has claimed that his client is close to a move to Inter. The Congolese born Belgian international will be brought in to strengthen the midfield futher.
Inter are trying hard to sign Paulinho. The Nerazzurri are sending sporting director Piero Ausilio to Sao Paulo in order to tie up a deal for the Brazilian, who is expected to cost around €7 million.
Lucas Moura is another Brazilian who is targeted by Inter but the Nerazzurri face stiff competition from Real Madrid and Manchester United, for the 19 year old's signature.
French international Mathieu Debuchy is on Inter's radar should Maicon move to Chelsea. The French right back has told his club, Lille, that he wants to leave.
Probable Departures
Ivan Cordoba, Lucio, Diego Forlan, Goran Pandev, Sulley Muntari and Kucka have all departed from the club.
Wesley Sneijder has been linked to many clubs like Manchester United and more recently Anzhi Makhachkala. Inter would be hoping that the Dutchman stays because he's a crucial member of their squad. Even if he decides to leave, Inter won't let him leave for cheap.
Maicon has also been subjected to some transfer rumours with the latest one linking him to Chelsea FC but Inter will be reluctant to sell the Brazilian right back.
Stramaccioni hinted that striker Giampaolo Pazzini might leave the Nerazzuri during the transfer window.

Moratti is doing the same things he did between 1999-2005. He is buying unproved youngsters while letting go of world class players cheaply. They are selling off proven but old players and buying in young and mediocre players. A high spending club like Inter needs to go far in the Champions League every season though this time around they haven't qualified, to balance their accounts. I personally think that a top three finish seems pretty tough for an inexperienced coach and players alike. That's it.
Suleiman Akhtar
One thing that Inter need to ensure is that they do not lose Wesley Sneijder this season. Coutinho returning from loan is a positive sign and I never understood why was he loaned out in the first place. We do need a top class striker this summer to aid Diego Milito. The acquisition of Handanovic is certainly a positive move as Julio Cesar has been a casualty for the last two seasons.
Who do you think Inter should sign this summer? Share your thoughts with us below...
