When I was trying to make this pattern I thought to myself, "the first thing I'm gonna do is comment on how rancid this pattern is!" You're better off drafting it yourself, this pattern is outrageous, 4 inches too short in the front so it didn't even approach my nips, and I'm a short girl! And 7 inches to short in the back! Plus having a separate piece for the crotch is weird. I can't even begin to think how they got that swimsuit in the picture from this pattern. I suppose you get what you pay for but they either need to fix this pattern or take it down so no one else will accidently wander into this bull.

So now that I am in between projects I will make myself a swimsuit to wear in the beautiful Italian beach!
I already begain re-drafting my own pattern. To be perfectly honest I have never attempted to make a swimsuit.
I found this posting to be somewhat useful, I thought I would share!
Ready, Set, Go! Here I go!!

So – I just started making a mock-up of this before jumping in with real fabric, and right out of the gate, it's way too short in the front. I'm 5' 4" and the front (under the bodice section) stops about 2 inches under my breasts. I really don't want the bodice to drag once I sew it on or have to worry about accidentally flashing people when I make the real one so I am going to try lengthening the pattern. A couple quick questions for those who have made this already – how much fabric did you buy, and do you think it's worth lining the whole front piece?

So I started this project two months ago for Spring Break, then it rained the whole time, so I put it aside in favor of other more pressing projects. :) It was mostly done, I just happened to finish it today. I'll also preface my fit issues by saying I'm five feet tall and barely 95 pounds, so the fact that I'm finished with it and it still doesn't fit properly is disheartening, but I'll know better on my next swimsuit.
Issues I ran into: 1. every swimsuit needs leg elastic so I added that anyway; however, the elastic still flips out if I move normally, so I'm constantly adjusting my bottoms. Maybe it's because I didn't get specific swimsuit elastic, but just whatever I had in my sewing room? 2. I like my suits lined and to have cups, but the cups I first tried looked weird. I'll try some others. 3. Now this may have been wrong, but what I did with the bodice piece was fold it in half. As several others have mentioned, the bust piece would be huge if you gathered up the whole oblong piece! There's also just no reason for the neckline to have those curves if you're trying to attach a straight piece to it. Folding it also creates a self-lining to help with issue 2. 4. As several others have mentioned it was WAY too short in the front body. I'm only five feet tall and the empire seam still wants to drag down to my ribs. I tried combating this by first carving out some of the leg line and then even more by cinching the center tab even shorter. It works for a while, but I think this is going to be a "lay by the pool wearing big sunglasses and hat but never actually get wet" suit; I'm terrified if the top gets wet it'll drag down even further and I'll flash everyone! 5. The last was simply my not paying attention, but I found a retro-y almost Hawaiian print and thought it would be fun (I'll post pictures later); anyway, I wasn't watching where I was laying pieces out until I had it mostly finished that I have a single leaf in a VERY inappropriate place! lol! I guess that'll teach me to look what I'm doing! :)
For my first swimsuit I wasn't terribly disappointed or frustrated, but I did take a two month break from it. I would suggest lengthening it (no matter HOW short you are!), and folding the bust piece in half. Also, mock-ups are great things! :)

Has anyone come up with a corrected pattern, so that someone like me with limited sewing knowledge might have a little more success with this pattern? It seems to have a lot of gaps in the instructions.

There is fabric called swimsuit lining, kelepso. You should be able to buy it anywhere you buy swimsuit material. It's the same as swimsuit material but it is flesh colored.

Has anyone modified this for plus size? I can't wear the sizes here, and would love to make this suit for myself. I would appreciate instructions for those of us who are larger, I am using this suit for swimming exercise classes :) My old suit is dead :( and I need a new one. I can never quite find something that makes me happy.

I absolutely love the suit but am a little apprehensive about making now that I know the pattern and instructions are lacking. What a shame!

Indeed the pattern and instructions are terribly lacking! Started making the swimsuit, tried it on halfway through and discovered that it's designed for short people!! It was 15cms too short for me! And there's no where on the pattern where it shows that you can shorten or lengthen it. This pattern is not my friend. I'm going to show off my belly instead of hiding it now by making a bikini. Thanks for tainting me
Jul 6, 2010, 03.29 PMby annawilliamson
I just made this, and I was very happy with the final result (the outside, at least). But I wouldn't recommend the pattern to you if you aren't confident in your ability to brain out the procedure on your own. Unless you're willing to spend a good deal of time and effort thinking critically about each pattern piece, this will be a disaster!
That being said, once I got all the pieces (more or less) sorted out and wrote up my own notes (the "instructions" are worse than useless), I got the whole thing done in 9 hours, wore it to the beach the next day, and felt fabulous! The retro look is stunning.
My remaining problem is finishing the seams, most especially the legs. What's the official word on what to use for finishing on swimwear? Also, can any more endowed sewers give me tips on bra cups for this (ie where to shop for good ones, how to install them best)?
Jul 4, 2010, 01.54 PMby edel
Do not attempt this unless you have a lot of sewing experience!!
this is an awful pattern. I was very disappointed. I buy the burda magazine regularly and have no trouble with the patterns on there and I thought that this would be the same..how wrong I was….This pattern is incomplete, instructions are very vague, it is also disappointing that this pattern is only available in small sizes as this shape looks great on larger women. imho the model is far too unhealthily thin…we have all become to accustomed to seeing extremely thin as normal.
problems with this pattern: -step 3, the bodice area, no indication which side is which on the pattern, the instructions refer to markings on the pattern, which dont exist, so basically the most visible part of the finished garment requires us to 'wing it'
-I am half way through sewing this btw and am a very experienced seamstress..I noticed when I logged on (to see if I could find the bodice pattern markings) that there is a back tie, so the long ties have to also be fixed to the bodice..little info on that.
-It would appear to me that this needs swimsuit elastic, especially around the legs, to stop it riding up..(most? all? swimsuits have this)..no mention of this.
-there is an unmarked pattern piece on the pattern, I assume this is the centre front tab..haven't got that far yet.
-sizes are very small, look at this pic of marlyn monroe wearing something similar..http://alliedow.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/marilyn-monroe-swimsuit.jpg see how wonderful it looks on larger sizes!
EDIT: well that was a waste of an afternoon and of printer ink. I have chucked it in the bin, the breast cups of the costume were big enough for me to put my head in.

This bathing suit is so cute and for a long time I have been meaning to make it. I finally got around to doing it the other day and it was a challenge! I definitely consider myself an intermediate sewer and I was just sitting there like "….what does this thing do…?" Ha. I would say beware to those interested in making it. The directions are terribly vague- no markings on the patter. The front and back came together fine but it was just the bust part. I was thinking maybe it was designed for something more…endowed that me…think a cowl front bathing suit. So bad! ha.
Mar 31, 2010, 02.28 PMby purplejb99
I COMPLETELY fell in love with this and decided to try it…the end product wasn't all that bad, but I had a lot of trouble with the leg casings. Plus I altered it quite a bit, so that could have been part of it. I had to lengthen the torso quite a bit, because I have a long upper body, but otherwise it turned out pretty good. :)

Just press 'Get it' button in the right column. Then load the PDF-file with the pattern. That's all.
Dec 11, 2009, 04.37 PMby caramia-made
The PDF file only contains the instructions, it's missing the pattern pieces for download. It should have 2 separate pdfs: one for the actual pattern and one for the instructions.
I've noticed this has happened on many Burdastyle patterns that are Free Downloads on here. Maybe it's a glitch on their part???

I'm making this suit now and it seems a few steps were left out?!? Shouldn't there be elastic at the legs? And I don't see notches for gathering either… I'm going to wing it and see what happens. It does seem easy and if mine turns out anything close to the models I will be satisfied :D

I totally love this bathing suit! It looks great on the model. In response to mcg, you are not the only one who cares about unhealthy models and their impact on the young girls in society. I think you are wrong though about this model. She looks quite healthy and athlethic in my opinion. If they used larger models people would probably complain about them being "fat".

I too was wondering what the size chart correlated to. How does it compare to Burda size chart? And do I have to make any changes such as lengthen the body or should I just cut it out based on the size?

im making this right now, and having extreme difficulties! i have NEVER had so much trouble decifering a pattern in my life. i was so excited to make this suit, and i leave for vacation this weekend and wanted to have it then! there are no markings or "notches" marking where the bodice part should be gathered at the sides, where it should be placed, or what side is which. also, i dont see a pattern piece for the back ties like in the photos. the instructions really should have illustrations to make up for the fact that nothing on the pattern pieces makes sense. im so disappointed in this pattern, and would like to see the burdastyle team please correct it!

Does the Current Flow Backwards Inside a Battery?
Ed Fontes November 25, 2015
During the discharge of a battery, the current in the circuit flows from the positive to the negative electrode. According to Ohm's law, this means that the current is proportional to the electric field, which says that current flows from a positive to negative electric potential. But what happens inside the battery? Does the current flow from negative to positive electric potential? This blog post explains the potential profile inside a battery during discharge and recharge.Lire la Suite

Many different tools are available for counting particles. Choosing the optimal method depends on the application; specifically, whether you want to use the number of counted particles in equations or during postprocessing. The Particle Tracing interfaces in COMSOL Multiphysics feature three main particle counting options. While these approaches are versatile enough to compute quantities such as charge density and momentum flux, our focus here will be computing the number of particles on a set of domains or boundaries.Lire la Suite

When solving a chemical species transport problem, we are often dealing with cases that have a high Péclet number, where the ratio of the advection to diffusion is very high. We may also be dealing with such problems in structures that are periodic along the flow direction, and where the flow field itself is periodic. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, we can greatly reduce our computational requirements for such problems by using General Extrusion component couplings and the Previous Solution operator.Lire la Suite

of transgender people. As originally written, the anti-discrimination guideline, known as Regulation 225, was a supportive document backed by educators and LGBTQ advocates, containing a framework for facilitating gender transitions at school and supporting the needs of trans school kids. "What I have found in the state of Delaware and talked about a lot being on the committee for Regulation 225 is that it's the luck of the draw with the teachers you get, the school you get, with the administrations you get. There are some schools that are safe havens, but it's just because they happen to have the right administration or the right staff or the right school culture," said Andrea Rashbaum, who has a trans stepdaughter and served on the advisory committee that developed the initial iteration of the regulation.
"The goal of several people on the committee for Regulation 225 was to make all schools in Delaware uniform. That a child's experience wasn't based on luck, so that even if at the beginning people were just tolerated and they weren't accepting, they still had to follow a certain uniform code that the state was putting out."

It was summer 1996, and the writer George Plimpton was sitting opposite Bill Clinton on Air Force 1 en route to the Olympic Games in Atlanta. Mr. Plimpton, who was on assignment for Sports Illustrated , asked the President to pick an Olympic event in which he could envision competing.
"He answered the decathlon," Mr. Plimpton said. "He said it was because, there, you had 10 disciplines that you could concentrate on … And it's quite evident that he has the ability to do it, too. This is a man who is able to stand and give a speech and not have you-know-who popping up in the back of his head."
In a word, Bill Clinton is the national embodiment of a neurotic symptom that has showed up as the self-description of overreachers everywhere: compartmentalization. And, boy, can he compartmentalize. Never before has American public life been witness to a man who can open and shut the many doors of his mind and soul with such chilling self-assurance. The country has watched with wonder and nausea as Bill Clinton has diffracted himself into several Bill Clintons-the adulterer, the good father, the loyal husband, the lousy husband, the liar, the truth-teller, the empath, the charmer, the politico, the policy wonk, the man who loved Yitzhak Rabin, the man who strokes Yasir Arafat, the peacemaker, the missile launcher, the liberal, the social conservative, the moral arbiter, the seducer. Is he polymorphous? Is he perverse? He is the man about whom Toni Morrison wrote, "He's our first black President." And yet he's not a black man. He's just trained, as his generation was, to be all things to all men, and women. And not too much of anything to anyone.
He's compartmentalized.
And at last count, 62 percent of the country loved the guy.
And 62 percent of the compartmentalized nation said they couldn't trust him.
Because just as Bill Clinton long ago chose to abandon rigid character for cagey adaptability, we, too, suspect that it may be the only way to survive in the new Mad Max century. Compartmentalization is the neurosis of our time, the psychological refuge of the privileged and the spoiled. It's the malady of a society with endless choices. Got a problem? Create a new window for it!
Since Monica Lewinsky spurted onto the scene one year ago, the Republicans have been trying to sell us on character, and it hasn't worked. George Bush had character. So did Bob ("I'm just a man") Dole. But character is an inhibiting constraint in this era; it keeps you from doing everything you want. Like our President, we don't want to deny ourselves anything, we don't want to be pinned down, we don't want to do the hard work of integration. We all want to wriggle free. We want to present many versions of ourselves to everybody. And we don't want to disappoint anybody. What did Dick Morris tell the President? The American people would accept adultery, but not perjury. What is adultery? It's showing affection to too many people. What's perjury? It's getting caught lying.

Health professionals who may care for a child who has with type 1 diabetes include:
A child with type 1 diabetes needs to visit his or her doctor at least every 3 to 6 months. During these visits, the doctor reviews your child's blood sugar level records and asks about any problems you and your child may have. Your child's blood pressure is checked, and growth and development is evaluated. The doctor examines your child for signs of infections, especially at injection sites. Your child usually has the following tests at office visits:
If your child has a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease and is at least 10 years old, your child's doctor may do a

when type 1 diabetes is diagnosed or as soon as blood sugars are under control. If there is no family history of high cholesterol, your child may have a cholesterol test at puberty. If the LDL cholesterol is less than 100 mg/dL (2.60 mmol/L) and there is no family history of high cholesterol, the doctor may repeat this test every 5 years.
Diabetes increases your child's risk for dental problems. Experts suggest dental checkups every 6 months.
Once a year, you and your child may also see other members of the diabetes team, for example:
Your child will have an initial dilated eye exam (

Pfizer eported quarterly earnings on Thursday that was largely in line with analysts' forecasts, but revenue fell short following the loss of patent protection on its blockbuster Lipitor cholesterol fighter.
The pharmaceutical company announced third-quarter earnings excluding items of 53 ents per share, down from 62 cents a share in the year-earlier period.
The current quarter reflected a previously announced 2 cents a share reduction related a $250 million deal with AstraZeneca to acquire the global rights to the non-prescription version of the heartburn drug Nexium.
Shares of the drug giant fell in pre-market trading. (Get real-time quotes for Pfizer here.)
Revenue fell to $14 billion from $17.19 billion a year ago. The drop was primarily due to the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor on Nov. 30, 2011, the company said. Lipitor sales fell 71 percent to $749 million in the current quarter.
"Overall, our results this quarter reflect continued product losses of exclusivity, most notably Lipitor in all major markets. Despite a challenging and dynamic environment, worldwide revenues from many of our key medicines, including Enbrel, Celebrex, and Lyrica, continued to grow operationally," Ian Read, Pfizer's chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
Analysts had expected Pfizer to report $14.64 billion in revenue and earnings of 53 cents per share, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
Pfizer cut its full-year earnings estimate to $2.14 to $2.17 a share from $2.14 to $2.22 a share, and narrowed its revenue forecast to $58 billion to $59 billion from $58 billion to $60 billion.
Pfizer's board of directors also authorized a $10 billion stock buyback program, following the sale of its nutrition business to Nestle.

Two antievolution bills in Alabama
On January 10, 2006, two identical bills -- House Bill 106 and Senate Bill 45 -- were introduced in the Alabama legislature, under the rubric of "The Academic Freedom Act," and referred to the Committees on Education of their respective chambers. These identical bills purport to protect the right of teachers to "present scientific information pertaining to the full range of scientific views in any curricula or course of learning" and the right of students not to be "penalized in any way because he or she may subscribe to a particular position on any views." In language reminiscent of the Santorum language removed from the No Child Left Behind Act, they specify that "[t]he rights and privileges contained in this act apply when topics are taught that may generate controversy, such as biological or chemical origins." Presumably attempting to avert the charge that their provisions would violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, the bills also provide, "[N]othing in this act shall be construed as promoting any religious doctrine, promoting discrimination for or against a particular set of religious beliefs, or promoting discrimination for or against religion or non-religion."
HB 106 and SB 45 closely resemble previous antievolution bills -- three bills introduced in 2005 (HB 352, SB 240, and HB 716) and two bills introduced in 2004 (HB 391 and SB 336) -- all of which failed. SB 45's sponsor, Senator Wendell Mitchell (D-District 30), was a cosponsor of SB 240 and SB 336, of which he reportedly said, "I think there is a tremendous ill-balance in the classroom when you can't discuss all viewpoints. This bill will level the playing field because it allows a teacher to bring forward the biblical creation story of humankind" (Montgomery Advertiser, February 18, 2004). HB 106's sponsor, Representative Scott Beason (R-District 51), was the sole sponsor of HB 716. A novelty in HB 106 and SB 45 is section 7, providing, "Nothing in this act shall be construed as protecting as scientific any view that lacks published empirical or observational support or that has been soundly refuted by empirical or observational science in published scientific debate. Likewise, the protection provided by this act shall not be restricted by any metaphysical or religious implications of a view, so long as the views are defensible from and justified by empirical science and observation of the natural world."

The deer residents of Monticello in the North Creek Lane area should start packing their bags, as the Monticello City Council voted in favor of removal of a portion of the herd at the June 11 meeting of the Monticello City Council.
After much discussion, Councilman Walter Bird made a motion to ask the DWR to remove a portion of the deer population from the area. The motion passed with a vote of three to one, with Councilman Jerry Ward voting against. The discussion has been ongoing for several months, since several residents of the North Creek Lane expressed concern over the large number of deer impacting their property.
City Manager Myron Lee said he met with the Division of Wildlife Resources to request a plan for deer removal within city limits. Lee said the DWR had two questions for the city: what sections of town are the biggest problems, and the percent of deer to remove.
The DWR will apparently push deer away from homes and then shoot them. Lee reports they will likely wait until August, in order to avoid problems with doe's and fawns.
Councilman Ward said he would not support a deer removal program and added, "We as citizens have the right to do a lot of things... but yet we don't have the right to go to the government to solve all our problems."
Ward said that if people want a lawn and they live in areas with deer, they need to take measures to protect their investment.
Councilman Bird said they were asking the government to deal with something that is already their responsibility. "The DRW is asked to manage wildlife, deer in particular, in the State of Utah. If you have a problem with deer in town, it's the DWR's job to manage them," said Bird.
"Just to ignore (citizens) and tell them to go out and build a fence is expensive...," added Bird. "I think the citizens are being impacted, we should listen to them and their voice should be heard."
Mayor Doug Allen said only a few people have complained about the deer, and questioned whether other residents in the North Creek Lane area have a problem with the deer.
Bird questioned how people who aren't affected by the deer now, will be affected if a few deer are removed from town.
Concerns were raised about removing deer that will be replaced by another group in the Spring. Bird said many who have raised complaints are lifelong residents of Monticello, and have never had the deer problems they have now. Councilman Jeremy Hoggard questioned if the DWR will remove the deer that are the biggest problem.
Bird said that they don't need to completely eliminate the deer, but that the golf course created a safe haven for deer and something needs to be done. He is concerned about citizens getting frustrated and taking matters into their own hands.
The possibility of tranquilizing deer and removing them was raised, but it is cost prohibitive and dangerous. The general feeling is there is a 50/50 split between those who want or don't want deer removed.
The 2008-09 city budget was adopted by the council. Prior to the approval, Myron Lee discussed the proposed budget, with $6,554,860 in income and $6,722,532 in expenditures for a $167,672 budgetary shortfall.
Lee discussed the options to balance the budget, including using money from savings accounts or leaving the position of Assistant City Manager open. Lee said that the sanitation budget has a $41,000 shortfall. The council may need to adjust sanitation fees.
Several taxes, including Transient Room Tax, Transportation Sales Tax, or Zoo, Arts and Parks Tax, could increase income significantly. The city lost the Resort City sales tax this year, taking roughly $100,000 out of city revenues.
Lee recommended that the council adjust the sanitation fee, consider adding or raising the three sales taxes, and leave the Assistant City Manager position vacant.
Councilman Bird suggested that the City add the TRT tax, as it doesn't affect locals, but is a tourism tax. The council may not need to adjust sanitation fees, but will begin discussing the addition of the mentioned taxes at the next meeting.
Councilman Ward is concerned about shortfalls in recreation budgets. He said if the city eliminated recreation and golf, they would have a surplus. Councilman Bird questioned what the quality of life would be without recreation programs in the city.
Lee said that the proper way to account for recreation is in the general fund, the same as city courts, police, administration, fire department, streets and highways.
"Recreation, similar to all of those other funds, is a service that the city provides to it's citizens," said Lee. He pointed out that the police budget doesn't make money, and never will, but it can't be done away with. He said that in those areas, it comes down to what level of service do you want in the city. Ward said that if it comes to raising taxes, he can't see continuing recreation programs and passing the cost on to every citizen.
The council approved the budget as balanced, since they have the money in the bank to cover the overage, but will discuss other options in the next few meetings, to balance without having to use savings.
In other business, Public Works Supervisor Nathan Langston reported on the replacement of water and sewer lines on Main and Center streets. He reports that 4,000 linear feet of water main and five fire hydrants have been installed. Langston says they have taken the first pressure test and sent water to be tested. He hopes to put some of the line into service this week.
On the sewer system, 3,500 linear feet, 16 new manholes and 21 lateral services have been installed. Langston said that the project was 48 percent complete. He also addressed the utility lines that have been cut. Langston said the contractors have crossed utility lines 87 times, and hit a line eight times, of which, only four were marked. He said that the major phone line that was hit was not marked.
The council received a petition from Pat Barr asking that Uranium Drive remain 35 feet wide rather than increasing to 40 feet. Barr said that 16 of the 20 residents who live on the street have signed the petition, and would like it to stay as is at 35 feet. Barr said that the street dead ends to the west, and south and does not run to Main Street, so it is used only by local traffic. He said that 200 West, which feeds into Uranium Drive, is 35 feet wide.
Barr initiated his request in order to keep a large, 50-year-old tree from being removed from his front yard. Myron Lee said the tree sits on the city right of way by seven feet, and will be compromised even if the street is left at 35 feet.
Mayor Allen said that if any street in the city would be eligible for an exception, Uranium Drive deserves to be looked at. It is a dead end and is currently 35 feet wide.
Councilman Ward motioned for the city to remove the tree and build the roadway 40 feet wide, as engineered. The council voted unanimously in favor.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut authorities say an out-of-control car exiting Interstate 95 in Fairfield crashed into a convenience store and caught fire, injuring four people and damaging the building and five other vehicles.
Fairfield police say the car was going faster than 50 mph when it left an off-ramp Monday night. It plowed into several other vehicles and a Cumberland Farms store at the bottom of the ramp.
Police say the car's driver and three other people were taken to a hospital, including a person with three broken vertebrae.
Fairfield Police Lt. James Perez says the driver, 30-year-old Rosa Blanca Chavarria Medina of Bridgeport, had a suspended license and an elevated alcohol level. No charges have been announced. It was not immediately clear if Chavarria has an attorney and no telephone listing could be found for her.

CARPENTERSVILLE – Construction will start in April on a $6.5 million plan that gives new buildings to District 300 administrators and Oak Ridge School students, despite objections from skeptical parents and district employees.
After numerous roll calls on Monday, board members from the Carpentersville-based school district unanimously endorsed building plans and approved two contracts that put Elgin-based Dewberry Architects in charge of designing the projects by the end of March.
Facing a room full of district parents and residents, board members attempted to quell concerns from the audience that the district developed the project in secrecy. The administration publicly unveiled the building project for the first time two weeks ago.
"We aren't taking this (project) lightly," member Susie Kopacz said. "We have done our due diligence, but we need to do a better job of communicating that to the public."
The building changes move the roughly 80 students at the alternative Oak Ridge school to the administration's Central Office in Carpentersville and give the students a permanent home for the first time since the program started in 1998.
Construction crews will start $1.42 million in renovations to the near 15,000-square-foot Central Office by April 15, with a targeted completion by late July, according to the architect contract approved Monday. The converted office building should be open to students by the start of the 2014-15 school year, district officials said.
Dewberry architects will simultaneously design a new 32,000-square-foot, two-story office building for administrators by mid-March. Crews would then start constructing the $5.07 million building on district-owned property near Jacobs High School in Algonquin by April 15.
Administrators will use Hampshire High School as a temporary office until their new building is ready sometime in early 2015.
During the meeting, numerous parents urged members to table the project until the public had more opportunities to review the proposal and assess whether the relocation projects were the best options for the district. Administrators earlier reviewed the options the district exhausted to find a location for Oak Ridge students.
Billita Jacobsen, a support staffer at Lakewood Elementary, questioned the district's priorities and said conditions inside the elementary school are deteriorating.
"It was surprising to read about, what I feel, is unnecessary spending of over $5 million to build a new building when you have a school in appalling conditions," Jacobsen said. "If the (state) money ever sees the light of the day, shouldn't that money go to repair existing buildings?"
District officials know they can use $750,000 from the sale of the current Oak Ridge site, plus a $50,000 state grant, to pay for the majority of the Central Office renovations. But the financial details are hazier for the remainder of the project.
Officials will learn in the coming months whether they are in the running to receive $60 million in overdue capital grants – dating to 2004 – from the state.
If that money doesn't arrive, the district could use $1.2 million leftover from existing bonds or take a "short-term loan" to cover the project until the state comes through with the capital grant money, said Chief Financial Officer Susan Harkin.

John Habib's City Sports: Jack Thornton was unique talentJOHN HABIB
June 21. 2013 9:35PM
AS A teenager in the 1970s, I frequently turned on the radio to listen to Bob Lobel on WGIR-AM. Lobel occasionally invited local people to his studio to talk sports, and one of them was Jack Thornton.
Thornton had a great radio voice, and I found his knowledge of high school sports to be top-notch. He was articulate and thorough in his analysis, especially in the immediate aftermath of a game.
A 1968 graduate of Manchester Memorial High and later St. Anselm College, Thornton worked so well with Lobel that the two became partners on broadcasts of high school football, basketball and baseball games, Lobel handling the play-by-play, Thornton doing color commentary.
I'd been listening to Thornton for a couple of years when I saw and met him for the first time, during the American Legion World Series at Gill Stadium. Until then, I had no idea he was blind.
When I heard this week that Thornton died Sunday at age 64 after a long period of declining health, I paused to think of the lesson he taught me years ago: Never feel sorry for yourself. Jack Thornton never did, and that's why I regard him to this day as the epitome of what the human spirit is all about.
Reached at his home earlier this week, Lobel shared some thoughts of his own about his former on-air sidekick.
"If I try to tell someone about Jack Thornton, especially how I was able to work with him during my broadcast ... Unless you knew him or saw him do it, you wouldn't believe it," Lobel said. "Jack was an amazing person. What instantly caught my attention was Jack was able to add something to my show that (fellow local broadcasters) Frank Sullivan, Dick Powers — none of us — could add. Call it a sixth sense or another dimension, but he had something which was extremely rare and unique. I trusted it, and I trusted him because he didn't make stuff up."
Lobel said Thornton's late father, John, would take his son to the games and serve as his eyes.
"I can't explain how he did it, but through his father's love and devotion, Jack was able to connect the dots and provide commentary during and after games," Lobel said. "To this day, I just can't explain it. It's still all a mystery to me, but Jack was a special kid, a special person who I'm going to miss greatly."
MEMORIAL baseball coach Aaron Abood has applied for the new position of full-time athletics director for the city's public high schools, and he appears to have a backer in Ward 9 school board member Art Beaudry.
"If Aaron meets the credentials required for the job, I would support him," said Beaudry. "I hear from many people he's a very good baseball coach. I felt bad a few years back when he didn't get the boys' (varsity) basketball job at Memorial. I felt he got short-changed there."
At the time, the school board chose Mike Fitzpatrick, who had already coached Central to two Class L titles.
- - - - - - -
AT A RECENT meeting of the city school board's Athletic Committee, Manchester High West athletics director Sarah Dumais suggested the city retain part-time city AD Dave Gosselin until January to help his successor with the transition.
Beaudry shot that proposal down.
"I'm not going to support paying a full-timer and a part-timer — not when we're trying to save money to hire back teachers, which is my top priority right now," Beaudry said.
He would consider a four- to six-week transition period with Gosselin tutoring the new athletics director, Beaudry said, but it's unlikely he'd ultimately support it.
"I would expect whoever we hire to hit the ground running from the first day on," Beaudry said.

UNIVERSITY of Rhode Island sophomore Kate Capistran, a Manchester High Central graduate, recently was named a 2013 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association Pocock All-American. Capistran rowed in the second seat on Rhode Island's varsity eight-plus boat this season and earned second-team All-America honors. She is one of 42 rowers nationally to earn CRCA All-America recognition and one of 13 rowers named to the CRCA Division I New England All-Region first team.
"Kate is an extremely hard worker," said Rhode Island head coach Shelagh Donohoe. "Her most limiting factor when she came in was her rowing technique. Throughout the fall and winter, Kate made very good changes that allowed her to apply her power better. The technical changes, along with her increased aerobic base and strength, allowed her to move from the third boat to second boat and, by the spring, the varsity eight."
With Capistran in the shell, URI won the Atlantic 10 Conference championship and received its first berth in the NCAAs.
Kate is the sister of Luke Capistran, who died at 16 in 2011 after a courageous battle with cancer.

A high-tech plant-growth chamber developed at the University of Colorado at Boulder that contains intriguing pharmaceutical and agricultural experiments will blast off on NASA's space shuttle Columbia from Florida April 3.
The payload and experiments were developed by faculty, students and industry affiliates from the BioServe Space Technologies Center -- headquartered in CU's aerospace engineering sciences department -- in collaboration with a team at the NASA-Ames Researcher Center in Moffett Field, Calif. Researchers are using the low-gravity space environment to develop products and technologies in life science, agriculture and medicine, said BioServe Associate Director Louis Stodieck.
Two BioServe experiments sponsored by a large U.S. pharmaceutical company are testing the effects of microgravity on plant species known as sweet wormwood and rosy periwinkle. Both plants naturally produce tiny quantities of pharmaceutically inportant compounds --one plant makes an anti-malarial drug while the other produces precursors to anticancer agents, he said.
Previous Bioserve experiments indicate that significantly less lignin -- a substance in plants that affects their strength and stiffness -- is produced in microgravity. "We are hypothesizing that a decrease in lignin production in space may lead to an enhancement in other plant metabolic pathways which are of commercial benefit," said Gerard Heyenga, a principal science investigator on the study from NASA-Ames. "Increased production of plant secondary compounds could ultimately lower the costs of certain pharmaceuticals or lead to the development of new drugs."
Seven experiments will be aboard the second shuttle flight of BioServe's Plant Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus, or PGBA, which first flew in May 1996. The 125-pound, automated plant-growth facility will be used to grow food and pharmaceutical and forest plants in space, said BioServe's Alex Hoehn, who headed up the design and development of the television-sized plant chamber.
"We are entering a new era in space as plans for the construction of the international space station move ahead," said Stodieck. Because much of the cargo space aboard shuttles will be used to ferry building materials into orbit in the coming years, there will be fewer flight opportunities for scientific experiments like those from BioServe, which has flown experiments on 12 shuttle missions.
"But once the space station is assembled we expect to have near continuous access to space over the long duration needed to complete many of these experiments," said Stodieck. While the upcoming Columbia mission will provide nearly 16 days of microgravity, the space station will be able to provide months or even years that may be required for particular commercial investigations, especially those involving plants.
The PGBA will occupy the "Express Rack" aboard Columbia. Designed by Marshall Space Flight Center, the novel rack will eventually permit experiments to be quickly transferred from NASA shuttles to the International Space Station. Three of the seven astronauts on Columbia have been trained to use the BioServe plant chamber and will help manipulate experiments during the mission.
"The PGBA is by far the largest plant growth chamber to be flown on a shuttle that can precisely control carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity and light conditions," said Stodieck. It also is the first plant-growth system with direct data uplink, downlink and video capabilities, allowing BioServe faculty and students to control and manipulate experiments from the CU-Boulder campus, he said.
In cooperation with Dean Foods Vegetable Co. of Green Bay, Wisc., BioServe also will fly spinach plants in the chamber. A better understanding of the effects of low gravity on the structure, tenderness and production of sugars, starch and fatty acids in spinach may help researchers develop more tender varieties for dinner tables and heartier strains of vegetables that can withstand severe weather.
BioServe also will fly loblolly pine seedlings for Georgia Pacific of Atlanta to monitor lignin and wood formation. Such low-gravity research efforts could benefit the forest products industry by allowing for the eventual development of superior strains of commercial lumber and paper products, said Heyenga.
Researchers and students from Kansas State University, a joint partner in BioServe, will fly additional experiments in the PGBA. One will test the effects of microgravity on tomato gene expression, while the second will investigate methods of infecting cereal crops with nitrogen-fixing bacteria known as rhizobia that naturally benefit legumes like peas and beans by snaring nitrogen from the atmosphere.
Developing ways of infecting crops like corn and wheat with rhizobium could help reduce the need for fertilizers on Earth, researchers believe.
BioServe is a joint center of CU, KSU and industrial affiliates and one of 11 NASA Centers for Space Commercialization with active space flight programs.

Feds: 4th Amendment Shouldn't Apply To Online Emails Because... That Would Make Us Have To Work Harder
from the um...-that's-the-point,-isn't-it? dept
But the Obama administration doesn't like that because it likes being able to access such content with ease and without the oversight of having to show probable cause in a warrant.
Congress should recognize the collateral consequences to criminal law enforcement and the national security of the United States if ECPA were to provide only one means -- a probable cause warrant -- for compelling disclosure of all stored content. For example, in order to obtain a search warrant for a particular e-mail account, law enforcement has to establish probable cause to believe that evidence will be found in that particular account. In some cases, this link can be hard to establish.In other words, "the 4th Amendment makes life hard for us, so please let us ignore it." You see, the point of the 4th Amendment is that it's supposed to make the government's life hard. It's supposed to be hard work for law enforcement to prove that it needs to violate someone's privacy. It's supposed to be difficult, because the point of the 4th Amendment is to protect citizens from the government, not to make the government's job easy.

Hi everyone,
My little girl turned 8 months today. She has been EBF since birth. We made it through a nipple shield for 3 months, going back to work and pumping, and a day care that once fed her 8 oz of BM because that's what the formula kids get. However, last week I found out I was pregnant and my progesterone is only 8. So like my prior pregnancy my Dr. wants me to go on Metformin and progesterone. Both which are not safe for breastfeeding.
I have about 5oz a day of frozen BM for the next month. Any suggestions - - what formula and how much for a 23 lb 8 month old girl. When should I give her the breast milk, in the morning as a first bottle, or a night before bed? Really sad, and anxious, I wanted to make it the full first year

Spitzer Google Map
Two days ago, at the 212th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, a new portrait of stars in our inner Milky Way galaxy made from over 800,000 snapshots from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope was released.
When I first saw the images on the internet I thought 'someone should make a Google Map of that portrait'. Well Caltech have - so now you can navigate and zoom into the image using Google Maps' familiar navigation tools.
If anything the Spitzer imagery is more astounding than the Hubble imagery used in Google Sky. At the moment the map is a little light on informative markers, but the makers say they will be adding more soon.

Iowa remains at a high risk for significant spring flooding, according to the latest outlook from the National Weather Service in Des Moines. Flood risk is well-above normal at many locations around Des Moines, and the risk of major flooding has increased since the second outlook was released on February 19th.
Flooding is most likely to occur from the middle third of this month into late April. An above normal risk of flash flooding due to ice jams was also reported.
Locally the South Skunk River at Oskaloosa is at the greatest risk to experience minor to moderate flooding – with a 90 percent chance of reaching the river's 20 foot flood stage, while the Cedar Creek at Bussey is at a near normal flood risk for this time of year, which includes a 24 percent chance of minor flooding this spring.

Android is of course a phone operating system, but there are many efforts underway to get to work properly on devices with larger screens, such as netbooks. While Android works on Atom netbooks as well, it was mostly found on ARM devices at Computex, and Gartner concluded that not only did those perform faster than Windows 7/Atom netbooks, but Android is also backed by a strong brand, Google.
It's important to note that Android on these devices is still a while off, 3-to-4 quarters, Gartner states. Still, the few ARM netbooks that did work properly with Android showed a lot of promise. "When Android did work, we found that the user interface was very snappy on relatively low-performance ARM processors, more so than Windows 7 on Atom," Christian Heidarson and Ben Lee, analysts at Gartner, said.
ARM wasn't the only one making an appearance at Computex, though. Yes, Android has even been ported to MIPS. MIPS Techologies and Embedded Alley worked together on the port, and had MIPS devices at Computex to show off.
Together with NVIDIA's impressive Tegra platform, it seems like alternative platforms are poised to make a comeback - Windows or no. Exciting times ahead, that's for sure.

BERLIN (AP) — A German bishop removed from his diocese by the Vatican following a furor over the spiraling cost of his new residence has retreated to a monastery in Bavaria.
Pope Francis last week expelled Limburg Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst from his diocese pending the outcome of a church inquiry into the residence, which cost 31 million euros ($43 million) — several times what was originally planned.
The Vatican hasn't said how long he might be away but Limburg diocese officials say the inquiry's work is expected to take until January.
Tebartz-van Elst's whereabouts had been a mystery since the Vatican's announcement. A Benedictine monastery in Metten, in southeastern Germany, said Thursday that he arrived there this week to spend a "spiritual time of recovery" of unspecified length.

Lebanon arrests 3 suspects in Turks' kidnapping
BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese authorities have arrested three people in connection with last week's kidnapping of two Turkish Airlines pilots in Beirut, the state news agency said Saturday.
Lebanon's Internal Security Forces referred the three suspects in custody to court, the National News Agency reported. It did not identify the three nor say when or where they were arrested.
Gunmen snatched the two Turkish pilots last Friday from a van near Beirut's international airport. Turkey quickly issued a travel warning urging its citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to Lebanon and those already there to leave.
The kidnapping appears to be linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria. A previously unknown group claimed responsibility for the abductions, and linked the fate of the two Turkish pilots to that of nine Lebanese Shiites who have been held by Syrian rebels for more than a year.
A rebel faction in northern Syria took hostage 11 Lebanese Shiites who had been on a bus tour of religious sites in the area. The commander of the brigade told The Associated Press last September that he was holding them captive to try to force Lebanon's Shiite militant group Hezbollah to stop supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.
Syria's rebels are predominantly Sunnis, and are widely supported by Lebanon's own Sunni community. Lebanon's Shiite community strongly backs the Syrian regime.
Turkey helped broker the release of two of the 11 Lebanese Shiite hostages last year, but the other nine are still in captivity.
Lebanese officials have been shuttling between Syria and Turkey to try to mediate the Shiite hostages' release. In January, rebels freed 48 Iranians in exchange for more than 2,000 prisoners held by Syrian authorities.
The stage seemed to be set for a similar swap last month after the Syrian regime freed nearly two dozen female prisoners, complying with rebel demands, Lebanese officials said at the time. In return, rebels were expected to free several of the Lebanese Shiites, but no hostages have been released.
The rebels are reportedly demanding the release of a total of 127 female detainees in Syrian jails before releasing any of the nine Lebanese Shiites.

Rand Paul, aka Son of Ron or abbreviated SOR to conserve ink, has reached a new low in his public discourse by using plagiarized material in his speeches without acknowledging the authors.
He is setting a bad example for all students and especially for those Roane County students who are now engaged in writing their entries for the Roane County student writing contest, which completes in early 2014.
Plagiarism is forbidden in this contest, and entries found to contain plagiarism will be rejected.
I am a sophomore at Roane County High School and a member of the band.
I'd like to talk about something we do off of the band field.
For the past three years, the band has participated in the Buddy's Race for the Cure in Knoxville.
This is an enjoyable event that supports local research and financial aid for cancer patients in East Tennessee.
For every year our team, Band Together for the Cure, has participated, we have received awards for largest and fastest community team.
Ann Coulter, the Tea Party favorite and political author/commentator, is back on the talk show circuit with a new book.
She revealed that she loved the way the Republicans in the House stood their ground.
But I will remind her that so did Col. George Custer at the battle of the Little Big Horn.
How bravely they stood against logic, reason and the political polls.
The cost was exceedingly high, and many scalps were taken.
Yes, there will undoubtedly be payback, but for now, Republican blood is shed.
Members of the Kingston Public Library Foundation would like to thank Scott Johnson for donating Wesley Johnson's extensive book collection to the library.
I am a member of the foundation. Several weeks ago my husband Roy and I were driving around on a beautiful fall day when we saw a sign for "C & C Estate Sale."
We attended the sale at a lovely home South of the River. The owner, Wesley Johnson, has passed away and the homestead was being auctioned.
There was a home library with many, many, books.
The political climate in Washington changed briefly after the passage of a law to reopen government and extend the debt ceiling into 2014.
Tea partyers stepped to the microphones to bemoan their failure with long faces, disappointment written all over them.
Even U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz modified his strident tone and became less preachy.
U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell actually smiled as he described what had transpired.
Mike Gibson's article about Kevin McClure's cancer brought back sad memories of my son's bout with colon cancer.
Unlike Mr. McClure's, my son's had advanced to stage 4 when he was accidentally diagnosed while being treated for a kidney stone attack.
He died at 45 years old a little over a year ago.
As Bill Williams of WBIR TV says in a public sevice announcement, colon cancer is a silent killer.
Surgeons said the start of the cancer could have been active in my son as much as 10 years earlier.
And we thought North Korea was obstinate until U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz led the right wing of the Republican Party off the tracks.
Stubborn as a Guinea fowl in the middle of a country road, he keeps making the same sounds and looking over his shoulder for his followers to see if they are still in lockstep with him.
What happened to "regular order" in the House and Senate?
Is this chaos a part of the new American exceptionalism some leaders like to crow about or just the new normal?
Open letter to U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann:
Your Party's strategy to allow the government to shutdown in order to get concessions on Obamacare is irrational.
You know as well as I do that people may not like Obamacare (because they do not understand it yet), but every poll shows they are vastly not in favor of shutting the government down to gain your small health care concessions.
I and others will remind people when it is time for your re-election on the stupidity of your Party's decision.
You will not get re-elected.
On Thursday night, Sept. 19, my parents, who are both in their mid-80s, had a flat tire while driving on Hwy. 321.
Almost immediately, a gentleman stopped to help. His name was Travis Marcum. He is the owner of Marcum Marine in Lenoir City. He placed a call to his son, who responded very quickly and they had the bad tire off and the spare tire installed in no time at all.
They refused payment at the time, so we would like to publicly thank them. It was a kindness not easily repaid.
Have you ever planned a fantastic party and then missed it yourself?
It just happened to me in the most unexpected way when I found myself being transported to the new Roane Medical Center at 4:30 in the morning recently.
Coughing, feverish and in a mental fog, hardly able to respond verbally when I entered the ER, I was soon able to respond to questions by the attending staff.
First my insurance cards were scanned, then my brain received the same procedure somewhere in the bowels of this very large facility.

Sometimes you do have to trust your instincts. Here is a vase I recently bought on eBay - despite not being sure exactly what it was at the time. The only thing I knew was I loved it!! Post-purchase, opinions were divided, but eventually we managed to hone the attribution to Loetz - green aventurine with blue stripes, enamelled with cabuchons. It is a lovely heavy piece of glass, with true depth.

Categories: Law Practice Skills
Instructor(s) Plum, Christina
Lawyering Skills: Public Speaking for Lawyers is an exercise-based course that focuses on helping students refine the oral communication skills that they will need to perform efficiently and effectively as practicing attorneys.

Each student will receive specific, personalized feedback on his/her performance in the exercises. The grading for this one-credit class will be pass/fail. The class will meet once a week for the first eight weeks of the semester for two hours at a time. Attendance is mandatory and students must actively participate to be awarded a passing grade. Some assignments will require preparation outside class, but there are no formal written assignments or written examinations. This class is open to second and third year students.

Monster TVs slug it out for CeBIT crown
And the winner is...
CeBIT Sony did it at CES in Las Vegas, and now it's Samsung's turn at CeBIT in Hannover. Yes, we're talking monster 82in LCD TVs. Alas, it was outscaled by LG, which is touting a 100in LCD, but don't forget that Panasonic's 103in plasma screen beats them all.
Samsung can at least claim its 82in whopper has a novel LED backlight that, it claims, improves the screen's colour and helps deliver the display's 7000:1 contrast ratio. LG's 100-incher, by contrast, uses regular backlight technology. It measure 2.2 x 1.2m, sports a 5ms response time and a 3000:1 contrast ratio - so you can see why Samsung's keen on its LED backlight.
Both companies touted their displays' wide viewing angles, with LG going as far as to put a number on it: 180°
LG also had a 102in plasma screen on show, beaten by a single inch by Panasonic's 103in model. Panasonic's plasma measures 2.28 x 1.27m - almost the same size as a Toyota Aygo, the company was keen to point out. It runs to a full 1080p HD resolution, Panasonic said, as does the LG screen. ®

Blackhawks goaltender Crawford can't get any respect
When hockey fans are listing off the best game-breaking goalies in the world, the stoppers they want guarding their net when all the money is on the table, a lot of names get dropped before Chicago's Corey Crawford.
Quick. Price. Lundqvist. Rask. Varlamov. Even Luongo.
But Stanley Cups are won with saves, not reputations, and of everybody ahead of Crawford on the Who's Who of Goaltenders list, he's the only one with a chance to win back-to-back championships.
And if you ask around, or look at the numbers, you'll find a lot of evidence to suggest he's as good or better than any of the superstars ahead of him on hockey's marquee — at least when it counts.
"I think he keeps getting better and better," said Chicago captain Jonathan Toews. "As a team, we want to keep raising our level of play as the stage gets bigger and bigger and if there's anyone who's doing it, it's Crow.
Through two rounds and change in this year's playoffs, Crawford leads the NHL in goals against average (1.90) and save percentage (.933).
"He was not just good, but he was unbelievable last year in the playoffs. This year I think he's even better" said forward Marian Hossa.
It's his mental strength that impresses his teammates the most. When fans at the Xcel Center tried getting into his kitchen in the second round, he responded by ramming Game 6 down their throats, stopping 34 of 35 shots in a 2-1 overtime victory.
"Chanting his name in different buildings, seems like it doesn't bother him at all," said Hossa. "He's so strong mentally, he's become one of the top goalies in the league."
He still isn't considered to be a part of that elite club in a lot of circles outside Chicago, but Crawford doesn't seem to care that much.
"The confidence has always been there," he said, adding it comes from having a strong work ethic. "The first thing is being prepared, to try and have my game at the highest level it can be each time I get out there. It's also knowing the other team, their tendencies. After that, it's just going out there and playing. Also, I'm getting a lot of help from our guys in front of me."
The respect he deserves for being a money goalie? That will have to wait, it seems.
Even after he bettered Jonathan Quick in Game 1 on Sunday, after having eliminated him last spring, Crawford was still answering questions about the stress involved in facing off against an opposition goaltender with such intimidating credentials.
"Unless he skates down the ice and starts dangling around our guys, I'm focused on their players," he laughed. "It really doesn't affect my game, whatever goes on at the other end."

CHICAGO (June 9, 2011 - PRNewswire)—Technomic has found that online daily deals are attracting new and infrequent customers to participating restaurants. The Chicago-based food industry research firm also found that a high percentage of these customers claim they have returned to the restaurant without a daily deal and/or recommended it to family and friends. Furthermore, many write about their specific experience on social media sites such as Yelp and/or Facebook.
Several key findings from Technomic's recently completed Online Daily Deals Report on restaurant goers' attitudes and usage of couponing sites:
- 48 percent of deal buyers used the coupon at a restaurant they have not yet visited, and 25 percent used it at a restaurant they have only visited once before.
- 67 percent later returned to the restaurant without a daily deal.
- 83 percent recommended the restaurant to family and/or friends.
- 34 percent posted a review of the restaurant on a site such as Yelp or Zagat, and 25 percent wrote about the restaurant on their Facebook page.
"Consumers at all income levels appear to be very engaged in and satisfied with online daily restaurant deals," notes Bob Goldin, Executive Vice President. "They are subscribing to multiple services and purchasing multiple deals. The fact that 85 percent of consumers plan to continue to purchase online restaurant deals and 79 percent look forward to receiving them is a strong indication of the impact the online daily deal business is having and of its potential within the restaurant space."
Technomic is hosting a complimentary 30-minute webinar on Thursday, June 23 to share additional findings from the Online Daily Deals Report.

Maicon not in Pellegrini plans
Maicon will not be part of Manchester City's first-team squad
this season.
The Brazil international right-back was brought in from Inter
last summer by Roberto Mancini but started just four times in the
Premier League.
New City boss Manuel Pellegrini did not select the 31-year-old
for the tour of South Africa and, speaking after defeat to
Supersport United in Pretoria, the Chilean confirmed his time at
City is up.
He told the club website: "Maicon didn't come here to the
pre-season and he will not be in the squad at Manchester City this
Pellegrini is in the market for further new signings having
already welcomed Fernandinho and Jesus Navas to the club.
Top of his list is a striker to replace Carlos Tevez, and a new
arrival is expected before the end of July.
"It's difficult to say exactly which day but before the end of
the month we will have a new attacker," he said.

Get the latest from TODAY
Think of it as take-out, but at the presidential level.
Since bringing their well-documented high-end appetites to the White House, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have broken new gourmet ground by inviting in a steady stream of the nation's top culinary talents.
It's an experience the chefs say they consider a career achievement.
"You work in the White House and you walk over to the tent and right across to your right, there is the Oval Office," said chef Marcus Samuelsson, who prepared the Obama's first state dinner in November in honor of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"That's not something that happens every day," Samuelsson said.
Breaking new groundCarl Anthony, historian with the National First Ladies Library, said that while inviting guest chefs to the White House isn't unheard of, featuring such famous chefs is new. Anthony sees Michelle Obama using the chefs "to bring attention to the issue of nutrition, especially childhood nutrition."
In fact, Michelle Obama recently appeared on the Food Network special "Super Chef Battle," highlighting her White House garden and talking about it as a way to teach local children about healthy eating. Obama told the show's famous chefs, "We really want you all to be a part of helping us spread that message."
Former White House executive chef Walter Scheib, who cooked under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, said there's no protocol on guest chefs and the Obamas can invite as many as they like.
Scheib said what it means to be a chef today has changed, and the Obamas and White House are reflecting that. He compared chefs cooking for the Obamas to other artists putting on performances elsewhere in the White House.
"When they do their performance it isn't on a stage in the East Room," Scheib said. "It's in the kitchen."
'Really surreal'Koren Grieveson, chef at the Chicago restaurant avec, made zucchini onion quesadillas for a healthy kids fair at the White House in October. She described it as an intimidating but beautiful place.
"It's just really surreal when you're on the White House lawn, escorted by Secret Service and trying to concentrate on what you're supposed to do," Grieveson said. "But at the same time it was an honor. It was so much fun."
Celebrity chef Bobby Flay grilled steaks with President Obama last summer and called the experience "probably my greatest professional moment."
"I could feel him walking over to me as my grills were being lit," Flay said recently. "Thirty seconds into it he made me feel like he and I had known each other for a long time."
White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford says she appreciates the talented chefs who visit her kitchen and thinks the exchange makes for good meals.
"Their different style and their repertoire, it's really good to see that," Comerford said. "Seeing the way they work, the message and technique they offer, it's really a great thing for us."
However, former White House executive pastry chef Roland Mesnier said he would feel slighted by guest chefs, who could use their White House experience as a promotional tool or for exposure.
"To me it's a slap in the face. It's an insult," he said.
Famous but anonymousThe Obamas took the trend to television in January when "Super Chef Battle" visited the White House. Comerford paired with Flay to win a battle over the team of chefs Emeril Lagasse and Mario Batali on the program.
While Comerford has been more visible, the position of White House chef has been largely unknown in the past, Scheib said.
"You just don't exist for all intents and purposes," Scheib said. "You are the most famous anonymous chef on Earth. Everybody talks about it, but nobody really knows about it."
With that changing, other chefs have been invited as well.
Last June, famed Hawaii chef Alan Wong prepared traditional luau foods like kalua pig and lomi lomi salmon for the annual picnic for members of Congress and their families. When the Obamas celebrated Hispanic music in October, they invited renowned Latin American chef Maricel Presilla to work with the White House kitchen staff.
Chefs and the food industry will benefit from the Obamas' interest in food and their efforts to dine at different restaurants, says Samuelsson, whose largely vegetarian state dinner made use of herbs harvested from the White House garden.
"I just think it says a lot about the curiosity and the diversity of the restaurants and the chefs that they are inviting in," he said.
Todd Gray, chef and co-owner of Washington's Equinox Restaurant, made trail mix with popcorn, peanuts and cranberries with Parmesan cheese and brown sugar at the October children's health fair. Gray said guest chefs are well taken care of when they cook at the White House.
"The care that they take when they bring you in is nothing less than stellar," Gray says. "There's always plenty of people to help to make sure your needs are being met."

Any employee or a representative of employees who believes that he has been fired or otherwise discriminated against by any person in violation of subsection (a) of this section may, within thirty days after such alleged violation occurs, apply to the Secretary of Labor for a review of such firing or alleged discrimination. A copy of the application shall be sent to such person who shall be the respondent. Upon receipt of such application, the Secretary of Labor shall cause such investigation to be made as he deems appropriate. Such investigation shall provide an opportunity for a public hearing at the request of any party to such review to enable the parties to present information relating to such alleged violation. The parties shall be given written notice of the time and place of the hearing at least five days prior to the hearing. Any such hearing shall be of record and shall be subject to section 554 of title 5. Upon receiving the report of such investigation, the Secretary of Labor shall make findings of fact. If he finds that such violation did occur, he shall issue a decision, incorporating an order therein and his findings, requiring the party committing such violation to take such affirmative action to abate the violation as the Secretary of Labor deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the rehiring or reinstatement of the employee or representative of employees to his former position with compensation. If he finds that there was no such violation, he shall issue an order denying the application. Such order issued by the Secretary of Labor under this subparagraph shall be subject to judicial review in the same manner as orders and decisions of the Administrator or subject to judicial review under this chapter.
Whenever an order is issued under this section to abate such violation, at the request of the applicant, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses (including the attorney's fees) as determined by the Secretary of Labor, to have been reasonably incurred by the applicant for, or in connection with, the institution and prosecution of such proceedings, shall be assessed against the person committing such violation.
This section shall have no application to any employee who, acting without direction from his employer (or his agent) deliberately violates any requirement of this chapter.
The Administrator shall conduct continuing evaluations of potential loss or shifts of employment which may result from the administration or enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and applicable implementation plans, including, where appropriate, investigating threatened plant closures or reductions in employment allegedly resulting from such administration or enforcement. Any employee who is discharged, or laid off, threatened with discharge or layoff, or otherwise discriminated against by any person because of the alleged results of such administration or enforcement, or any representative of such employee, may request the Administrator to conduct a full investigation of the matter. The Administrator shall thereupon investigate the matter and, at the request of any party, shall hold public hearings on not less than five days' notice, and shall at such hearings require the parties, including the employer involved, to present information relating to the actual or potential effect of such administration or enforcement on employment and on any alleged discharge, layoff, or other discrimination and the detailed reasons or justification therefor. Any such hearing shall be of record and shall be subject to section 554 of title 5. Upon receiving the report of such investigation, the Administrator shall make findings of fact as to the effect of such administration or enforcement on employment and on the alleged discharge, layoff, or discrimination and shall make such recommendations as he deems appropriate. Such report, findings, and recommendations shall be available to the public. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require or authorize the Administrator or any State to modify or withdraw any standard, limitation, or any other requirement of this chapter or any applicable implementation plan.
