Uri Blau 370.
(photo credit:Facebook)
A just-landed Martian encountering Israel's media for the first time might be forgiven for concluding that this is a country where freedom of expression is ruthlessly repressed.Lamentations about our supposed lost liberties were triggered by the attorney-general's decision to indict Haaretz reporter Uri Blau on espionage charges for obtaining, recording and hoarding without permission purloined classified military information, even if without intent to harm state security.It all began when, as a young conscript, Pvt. Anat Kamm worked in the OC Central Command's office, duplicated 2,200 documents, hid her haul and hung on to it long after her 2007 discharge. Kamm, now serving a 4.5-year sentence, basically dumped everything in her commander's computer. She wasn't selective. She didn't home in on a specific controversy (which would have been bad enough).In 2008, Kamm passed her contraband to Blau. Thus the touchiest IDF documents – including comprehensive battle plans that put lives at risk – fell into unauthorized hands. In Blau's custody, and with Haaretz abetting him, they might have ended up anywhere.Espionage's bottom line is acquiring confidential information without consent from its legal proprietors. That the secrets reached Blau's possession, rather than Hamas's, is no consolation and most certainly no justification.Top secrets on the loose can wreak havoc. Careless blabber or reckless publication constitute treasure troves for enemy intelligence analysts.The depiction of Blau as a martyr to safeguarding journalism could not be more ludicrous. Indeed, were it not for Blau's slapdash revelations and pretentious publication, Kamm's role in supplying him with forbidden secrets would have never been discovered. Blau and his paper practically served Kamm's head on a newspaperlined platter.Blau promised to return the illicit stash, but handed back only 50 of nearly 2,000 documents, and even copied those. He later absconded to London, where his prolonged stay was bankrolled by Haaretz. He only came home in October 2010, after holding on to Kamm's material for more than two years.Deployment details for the Gaza front weren't part of any investigation by Blau and were hardly run-of-themill leaks.Blau knew that what he concealed was stolen and he brazenly cheated on the deal to return what he had no right to hold or hide. To present this as a valiant stand on behalf of freedom of information is cynical.There is plenty of scope for journalists to ply their trade without putting themselves above the law and endangering the entire populace. No profession should demand or allow for its practitioners exclusive rights denied other honest citizens who are expected to ply their trades while toeing legal lines.Hanging on to swiped secrets, lying about them and smuggling them overseas is about as conscionable for a journalist as burglarizing a military installation. What would be unthinkable for any law-abiding person should be unthinkable for a reporter as well. Otherwise there's no equality before the law.Like it or not, freedom of the press isn't a license for anarchism. There are legitimate dos and don'ts in every vocation.Despite the concerted misrepresentation of Blau as a victim, he was in fact treated with kid gloves and allowed leeway that would be denied others of lesser fame and/or media backing. He was gullibly trusted to return the documents.He was allowed to leave the country. No international arrest order was issued against him. His newspaper's obstruction of justice was countenanced.It is doubtful that someone from any other profession or political affiliation would have been granted as much consideration and as many chances as Blau got. With that in mind, it is especially unwarranted to wail about imaginary injuries to our basic freedoms arising from the decision to bring Blau to trial.The uninitiated Martian would be wrong to conclude from the orchestrated hoopla that our media is as hobbled and as stifled as Blau's supporters tendentiously scream. Despite ongoing threats to our very existence, Israel boasts one of the world's freest societies.Nonetheless, democracy has the right to protect itself even from the bite of those who declare themselves its vigilant watchdogs.

Kings Fans Say They're Fed Up With Cousins' Anger Issues

- Jackson Teen Leading Rally Against Washington Redskins' Name At San Francisco 49ers Game
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – DeMarcus Cousins' anger issues during games are an act that's getting old with some fans. Some are calling for the Kings center to be benched permanently or at least until he admits he might have an anger problem.
For every slam and every put back, Cousins has a setback. The 22-year-old Kings center has 12 technical fouls — second in the league , and four ejections, which makes him top in that category.
Most recently, he was ejected during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks for elbowing forward Mike Dunleavy in the head. It cost the Kings big during a rally.
For many, Cousins' act is getting old.
"I think that his teammates are tired of him. The coaching staff is tired of him, in my opinion. The fans are tired of him, and flat out, the guy has some issues," said Kings' announcer Grant Napear.
There was no argument from fans.
"He doesn't get the fact that he doesn't know how to act like a professional," said one fan.
"He's kind of got a crybaby attitude and people are getting tired of it," said another.
You'd expect to hear those comments from some fans fed up with Cousins, but we wanted to see how he is viewed by those who might look up to him.
"He has anger problems," a 12-year-old fan said.
Cousins said he's simply misunderstood, but what's well understood is how he's perceived.
"I think he's got to be better because people want to see him," another teen fan said.
"We look up to him and we don't want to see that in a basketball player, you know, all those temper problems," said another.
They are problems that seem to be seen by everyone else but Cousins.

Peters, Herslow, and Wagner Take First Steps Toward Dressage National Titles
RELEASE: October 9, 2013
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: Eileen Schnettler and Helen Murray
Lexington, Ky.
- Three division of National Championship competition at the 2013 U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions presented by The Dutta Corp got underway Wednesday in the Kentucky Horse Park's Rolex Stadium. In the Dutta Corp/USEF Grand Prix National Championship, Steffen Peters and Legolas 92 have seized a sizable lead following an impressive test in the afternoon session, while Kim Herslow and Rosmarin head the field in the Dutta Corp/USEF Intermediaire I Dressage National Championship. In the first division of the day, the USEF Young Adult "Brentina Cup" Dressage National Championship presented by Dressage Today, Emily Wagner and Weltdorff hold a narrow lead in their quest for a National Title.
Dutta Corp/USEF Grand Prix National Championship
Steffen Peters & Legolas (Susan J. Stickle)
The competitors in the Dutta Corp/USEF Grand Prix National Championship were the final eight riders of the day to go down centerline in the Rolex Stadium. The first 45% of the championships scores were on the line as the elite U.S. competitors performed the FEI Grand Prix Test.
Peters (San Diego, Calif.) took his first step towards an unprecedented seventh National Title in the Grand Prix by scoring a 77% with Four Winds Farm's 11-year-old Westphalian gelding. The reigning National Champions delivered a nearly flawless test that was once again highlighted by Legolas 92's impressive piaffe and passage. In the past, the gelding has found difficulty with the flying changes but looked to be more confirmed in the movement on Wednesday afternoon.
"Legolas was great; I did a very short warm-up. The changes are always something I worry about but they felt good in the warm-up and just as good in the ring," said Peters. "I felt it was a very clean test which is what you look for on the first day."
The combination spent time this summer in Europe competing against the very best in the world, including anchoring the third place U.S. effort at the Aachen CDIO5*. They will spend their off day on Thursday preparing for Grand Prix Special where they will look to recreate some of the strong work produced overseas.
"You can't practice the Special with him too much before the Grand Prix because he gets confused," said Peters. "The plan again is a clean test."
Wednesday's second place finishers, Kathleen Raine (Murrieta, Calif.) and Breanna, also spent time in Europe culminating in a second place U.S. Team finish at the Hickstead CDIO3*. In the FEI Grand Prix Test, Jennifer Mason, Kathleen Raine, and David Wightman's 13-year-old Hanoverian mare again showcased her top form to score 71.936%.
"I was really happy with Breanna, she was very consistent," said Raine of the Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Program graduate. "She's gotten much stronger since I was in Europe. I was very happy with her today."
Finishing in third place was Raine's Hickstead teammate, Guenter Seidel (Cardiff, Calif.) and Coral Reef Ranch's Coral Reef Wylea. The pair scored 71.489% in spite of the 13-year-old Westphalian mare having her tongue over the bit for the first half of the test.
Grand Prix competition continues on Friday night, as riders will perform the FEI Grand Prix Special under the lights to earn another 40% of their overall total.
Dutta Corp/USEF Intermediaire I Dressage National Championship
Kim Herslow and Rosamarin (Susan J. Stickle)
Twelve Small Tour combinations entered the Rolex Stadium on Wednesday before the lunch break to contest the FEI Prix St. Georges Test, which counted for the first 40% of the championship score.
Herslow (Stockton, N.J.) and Kiroli Enterprises Inc's Hanoverian gelding have enjoyed an extremely successful 2013 campaign and maintained their form on Wednesday to score 75.789%. The talented pair prepared for the 2013 U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions presented by The Dutta Corp by sweeping all three Small Tour tests at the Dressage at Devon competition two weeks ago.
"I came here after leaving Devon with really nice rides and he really felt in his groove. I came here hoping to up that," said Herslow of Rosmarin. "I'm thrilled it was my goal to ride a clean test and I'm hoping to improve on that tomorrow."
The combination, which was part of the winning U.S. effort at the Wellington Nations Cup CDIO3* presented by Stillpoint Farm, has begun to work on the Grand Prix movements. However, Herslow will let the young horse guide her in making the decision of when to make their debut at the highest level.
"He's still young but we are training the Grand Prix movements," said Herslow. "I'm not going to move him up until he tells me he's ready. I want to keep the positive harmony."
Finishing in second place on Wednesday was last year's Intermediaire I National Champion, Caroline Roffman and her own Her Highness O. Roffman (Wellington, Fla.) and the 10-year-old Hanoverian mare traveled to Europe over the summer to compete in Small Tour competition at some of the world's most prestigious venues including CDIO Aachen. The pair demonstrated how much they had learned in their abroad as the scored 72.842% in the FEI Prix St. Georges Test.
The 2013 Championships are likely the last time the 2012 USEF National Developing Horse Prix St. Georges Dressage Championship presented by The Dutta Corp. and Performance Sales International winner will compete on the Small tour. And therefore Roffman is enjoying every moment of competition this weekend with the talented mare.
"I'm thrilled with the horse, I'm enjoying the ride; I want to have a good last I-1," said Roffman. "She's a good competition horse and I'm going to continue to develop her."
Finishing in third place was Shelly Francis (Loxahatchee, Fla.) and Patricia Stempel's nine-year-old Hanoverian gelding Danilo. The pair scored 69.447% despite an error of course before the pirouette in the canter work.
Intermediaire I competition continues Thursday as riders will earn another 45% of their overall score when they perform the FEI Intermediaire I Test.
Following the completion of competition in the Rolex Stadium the Veterinary Inspection was held for the Junior and Young Riders. All 11 combinations in the AGCO/USEF Young Rider Dressage National Championship were accepted and 11 pairs will vie for the AGCO/USEF Junior Dressage National Championship title.
USEF Young Adult 'Brentina Cup' Dressage National Championship presented by Dressage Today
Six competitors lined up in the Young Adult "Brentina Cup" competition on Wednesday morning to perform the USEF "Brentina Cup" Test. The USEF "Brentina Cup" was developed to assist and encourage U.S. Young Riders in making the transition to Senior Grand Prix competitor. All the competitors gain valuable experience this weekend, getting the chance to ride at the U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions presented by The Dutta Corp and performing the movements required at the senior level.
Wagner, riding her own Weltdorff, claimed the top spot in the USEF "Brentina Cup" Test and the early lead in the championship. The 25-year-old from La Cygne, Kan., finished with a score 65.667% to hold a .026% lead.
"Weltdorff was good today, I was very happy with him," said Wagner. "He got more relaxed as he went, so that was super. I think there was a lot of harmony there and I was really happy with that. It wasn't as brilliant as maybe I could have pushed for, but at the same time, it just wasn't the right feeling as we came around the ring; he was just a little too tense. But I was really happy for him, and everything went well."
Wagner and the 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding have been together for eight years and the pair is learning the ropes of the Grand Prix ranks together through the Young Adult "Brentina Cup" program. They received helpful advice from Robert Dover, Chef d' Equipe/ Technical Advisor for the U.S. Dressage Team, while warming up yesterday.
"He told me the passage we have is very good, but it needs to be much, much quicker going into the piaffe so that we have the energy to make the hyper-active passage. It really worked in my second ride yesterday but I didn't trust it in the ring enough. I've known his passage has to be quicker and it went well yesterday so I think I'm going to see if that works again. It's always a learning process."
Wednesday's second-place finisher, Genay Vaughn of Elk Grove, Calif., rode Starr Vaughn Equestrian, Inc.'s 12-year-old Hanoverian stallion, Donarweiss GGF, to a score of 65.641% to finish just behind Wagner.
"I was really happy with him," Vaughn said. "I just wanted to focus on having a relaxed, clean test. I think there's always more in there that I can get out, but the first day I just wanted it to be clean. It was pretty clean and I'm very proud of him."
Vaughn was thrilled with her results and grateful for the valuable experience of the USEF "Brentina Cup" program.
"I think it's extremely important. It's a big jump from Young Riders, but it's definitely necessary because I know I'm not ready to compete against a Steffen Peters. You get to feel what it's like; you're still competing against great girls and guys with great horses. It's like a stepping stone."
Kristen Becker (Athens, Ga.) stands third with her own 15-year-old Royal Dutch Warmblood gelding, Ramses, after scoring 65.538%.
The USEF Young Adult "Brentina Cup" Dressage National Championship competition continues Friday, with riders performing the FEI Young Adult U-25 Grand Prix Test, which will count for the remaining 50% of the overall average.
USEF Network will be streaming Friday and Saturday's competition live at www.usefnetwork.com/featured/2013FestivalOfChampions/. Retired FEI 5*judge Axel Steiner will provide commentary during the broadcast.

Amateur historians unearth Australian Spitfire in France
Amateur aviation historians have unearthed the wreckage of a Royal Australian Air Force Spitfire that crashed in northern France during the Second World War and the skeletal remains of its pilot.

Pastor Mitty's reaction to Tuesday's snowstorm
By Tom Holmes
Pastor Walter Mitty sat mesmerized by the snow gently falling outside his kitchen window Tuesday afternoon. It was the same trance like state that would come over him while camping at Point Beach when he would sit on the bench of his campsite's picnic table in the evening and stare into the fire for hours.
At first he had felt guilty about deciding to stay at home for the day instead of trudging the three blocks through the snow to the church office. The thought of his members accusing him of being a slacker frightened him somehow, but now, five hours into the day, a feeling of well being was washing over him.
The scraping of the steel blade of a Village of Poplar Park snowplow on the brick street he lived on broke his trance. With his awareness back inside his kitchen he remembered that he had brewed up a pot of fair trade coffee from Nicaragua he had bought on sale at Trader Joe's, but when he took a sip, he discovered that it was cold. So completely had he been drawn out of himself that he had lost track of time.
Serenity was the word that came to his mind as he poured himself a fresh mug of coffee.
"Maybe this is what that Buddhist monk on Channel 11 was trying to explain about the goal of meditation," he wondered. "To kind of lose yourself."
Thinking about religious guys on TV, Mitty's mind segued to imagining what the Rev. Johnny Christian would say about the state he was in. After thinking about it for a minute, Mitty decided that the TV preacher couldn't quiet himself in meditation long enough to forget about himself. Silence was not Johnny Christian's path to serenity. In fact, he wasn't even sure Rev. Johnny even wanted to feel serene. What he shouted at the 2000 faithful looking up at him pacing back and forth on the stage every Sunday were words like energy and power and victory; and the packed house would jump to their feet and clap and shout "amen" and even dance, and the band would launch into an upbeat version of "I'm so glad, Jesus lifted me."
"I guess I'm more of a Quaker than a Pentecostal," Mitty decided, finding comfort in the warm coffee mug in his hands and returning his gaze to the snowflakes lazily drifting down from the sky.
For supper he decided to reheat some chicken soup he had in the freezer. As he popped the frozen leftovers into the micro wave, he wondered what was happening in the world outside his cozy haven, so he turned on the radio to All Things Considered.
"The Dow closed at 14,254," said the reporter from the Wall Street Journal.
He imagined that Dominique wouldn't be bothered by the snow at all as he drove home from his 34th floor office in the Loop. The man in the Brooks Brothers suit had seen his investments double since 2007. He had understood that you buy low and sell high.
On the other hand, Henry his homeless friend would be having a hard time. He might have even come by the church to find some shelter and found all the doors locked, forcing him to ride the Blue Line trains back and forth all day to keep warm. At first he felt sorry for Henry, but then he realized that the homeless man lived in at least two "realities" and could move back and forth to whichever one was most comfortable at the time.
At 5:30 he heard the plows making another pass on the street outside. Those guys from the public works department would be staying awake with Red Bull and strong coffee as they worked double shifts restoring the streets of Poplar Park to normal.
"The funny thing about normal," he mused as he set the alarm for 6:00 am, climbed into bed and pulled the quilt up over his shoulders. "It all depends on where you're coming from and how you respond to what some folks call 'reality'."

Altec Lansing Stage-Gig, a replica monitor meant to give guitar heroes the sense of a real rock show by blaring their audio straight up at them from the floor.
It's kind of a cute idea, but we're not sure we're willing to pay $99 to have our 5.1 audio replaced by a single Altec Lansing speaker. Sure, you could buy two and have a really inconvenient stereo setup, but we think it's safe to chalk up another victory for imagination.

Just a Night Out Ch. 09byLoving522©
Just a Night Out Ch. 9: The Finale
You push the shower door open, and help me out. We step on the soft carpet as you reach for an oversized towel to dry your girl. You take the towel and wrap it around me, drying me softly, kissing me, wrapping yourself against the towel feeling the softness against your body too. You drape it over my shoulders as you grab another and gently dry my hair. You trace the droplets of water with your tongue over my skin. Your hand reaches for the heat lamp switch which now glows red on our skin. You pat the towel on my soft skin and kiss me over and over and over again. As you wrap around me you feel me begin to dry you too, running a soft towel over your dripping skin. You get behind me and continue to dry and caress my body as you kiss my neck and shoulders.
You look up and see my reflection in the full length mirrored wall. "You are so beautiful it takes my breath away," you whisper catching my reflection and pulling the towel off of me holding me naked in your arms. "How I love you, Jennifer," you whisper in my ear, kissing my neck, licking my shoulder. You feel me push back into you. As the last towel drops and exposes both of our naked bodies, you press against me hard as your hands caress my breast. My nipples are piercing the air as we watch your hands massage my breasts and nipples. We both look on knowing our desire once again has started to rage again.
I push your hands backward and pull me closer to you feeling your cock throbbing against my crack as your long pink tongue is licking me. Your hands begin pinching and pulling my tits. The heat lamp now makes our bodies sweat as the intensity grows by the second. One of your hands slides down ever so slowly, tracing over my stomach on its journey to my hot little hole. You bite my neck nipping it with your teeth as your hand finds my clit and pull it hard, playing with it again. Your other hand is now pinching my nipples, tugging and pulling me. You can feel my hands pulling you harder against me as I reach behind. Your cock continues to push and hump my ass nice and slowly.
A soft moan leaves my mouth as my pussy begins to drip with desire feeling your hand now playing with me. "Ohhhh baby," I moan as your finger once again enters me. You can see my eyes locked on the mirror as you finger fuck my hole. Your tongue continues licking me and your other hand now pulls on my clit. My body rocks and pushes. You can feel me start to lose control. Your mouth now begins to lick my shoulder blades and your tongue traces down my spine, still playing with my pussy.
Finger fucking me, you lower yourself to your knees and lick the sweet cheeks of my ass. "Oh yes, baby, please!" I beg as I feel your tongue tickle my sweet little ass hole. You take your hands from my pussy and grab my ass as your mouth licks me. You can see in the mirrors that my hand has replaced my mind as I start to finger my pussy knowing what you want to do. Your hands grip my cheeks and pull them far apart as your tongue slides hard against the star hole and push me open. "Yesssss!" I moan as your tongue enters my ass and then curls deep inside. Your hands hold my cheeks open wide as I finger fuck my cunt, knowing you are about to turn me into your hot little whore again. Your tongue drives so deep as you fuck and suck my hole, and my fingers move faster as my legs move to get the perfect balance allowing you to get deeper and deeper in me The sound of you sucking and eating my ass is only drowned out by my screams of passion. "Oh, baby, fuck me! Fuck me again!" I beg as you stand and remove your tongue.
You bend my body and replace your tongue with your thick throbbing cock, filling my tight little hole. Gripping my hips, you pull me back as you enter me, my fingers now working my pussy out of control.
"Feel my cock, baby doll? Feel it in your hole?" You ask as I finger my dripping pussy, and you fuck my tight ass. Pumping and humping me you drive deeper and deeper not sure if you have any cum left for me. My body now shivers you can feel my muscles shake as I near that ultimate climax again. Your cock is so stiff pounding my tight hole with your balls slapping against me as you take me completely. You can feel my fingers dance in my hole.
Suddenly, I can't hold back, and my pussy erupts shaking like I had been electrocuted. My whole body erupts and waves of cum wash over me and drip from my cunt. Your cock is still stiff fucking my hole. The cum drips out of me once again running down my legs, coating my body and the room with the scents of my passion. Pulling my hands from my pussy, I bend more getting you deeper in my hole. Your hands work my tits as my hands grip the mirrored wall and watch my body getting fucked.
You drive your cock over and over again, realizing now you have no cum left in you. "Baby I can't. I can't cum again. My cock is throbbing and sore, but I need to reload," you whisper gently. You slow your pace as I hold the wall and catch my breath. Your mouth kisses me as your cock slowly withdraws from my hole.
After a long pause, I turn and look into your eyes. "It's ok, baby. I know how to recharge you; just like you recharge me." Still trying to catch your breath your cock is still throbbing as you feel my touch. I lower myself down, kneeling in front of you and lick your cock. Looking up, I whisper, "Let your little cum doll take care of you."
Watching me and looking down and glancing in the mirrors, you watch me begin to suck your cock and lick your balls. Moaning, your body is rigid as I slip down and take one of your balls in my mouth, rolling it slow as I continue to stroke your cock. You can barely stand as I suck and fuck your cock with my hot mouth. I know your cock is aching with desire.
You reach down and grab my hair as I fuck your cock with my mouth. Looking up at me, you whisper, "Do me like I did you: fuck my ass." Eagerly, I ready to comply. Like a snake, I slither under your legs and come up behind you. Kneeling, you feel my long nails on the cheeks of your ass as my hot breath bounces off your hole.
"Like this?" You hear me moan as my tongue runs over your ass pausing for a moment at your hole.
"Yes, baby, eat my ass, like I eat yours. Recharge me. Make me cum," you whisper back You feel my hands spread your cheeks allowing my tongue access to your hole. The hot breath and wet tongue pierce your hole and push it open as you feel me push deep inside. You moan so loudly, it's almost a scream as your body shakes at the feeling of my tongue deep inside you.
One of my hands leaves your cheeks as you lean against the mirrored wall trying to see me in the reflection, and with my free hand, I grip your balls. You feel me squeeze your balls hard as my tongue drives, curling deep in your hole.
"Fuck me, baby! Fuck me!" You moan as I fuck you with my tongue. My other hand is now stroking your my throbbing cock, and you lose yourself in the power of my passion You push back wanting more and more as my tongue fucks your hole. My hand is now sliding up and down on your throbbing cock as you moan and groan out of control. "Fuck me, baby! Show me how my little cum whore wants to please her lover!"
My mouth is now in a rage. Like a hungry animal I am eating you; chewing your hole. My hand is pumping your cock like it is priming a pump, stroking so fast you moan louder and louder with each stroke I make.
"Ohhhh, baby, yessss! Yesss!" You scream as your cock erupts pulling my tongue from your whore, I try to move around your body to enjoy your cum ~ as you continue stroking my cock like you're going to pull it off my body. We both watch your cum splash against the mirrored wall.
"Yes!" I yell. "Yes cum for your whore!" As your body shakes, long streams of cum pour from your slit splashing onto the wall. It is a vision that makes us wild. With one hand, I keep stroking your cock wanting to milk every drop. With the free hand, I reach around and let my finger softly massage your ass hole. The cum from your cock slowly runs down the glass wall.
After what seems like forever, you are still holding yourself up by leaning against the wall. You look down seeing that I am sitting on the floor in front of you. Some droplets of cum are on my face and in my hair. My hand now gently pets your cock unable to let it go. You can hardly breathe, and looking down at me it appears, I am in a fog almost mesmerized by the intensity of this night.
I look up at you, and you reach down to help me to my feet. As you do, I run my fingers over the wall pulling up the cum. When standing face to face, I offer up my finger for us to lick dry. Unable to speak we kiss. I hold you tight. As our lips part, you look deep into my eyes. You touch my face with your finger. We are locked in like never before. You can feel me sigh in your arms then look into your eyes and whisper, "Oh my goodness...please take your cum doll to bed ..."

Roberto Mancini blasts Mario Balotelli for 'throwing his talent out of the window'
Related Articles
Published: 10 December 2012
Roberto Mancini has accused Mario Balotelli of risking his career by refusing to adopt a professional attitude to life at Manchester City.
It has been alleged that Balotelli's car was surrounded by Manchester United fans as he tried to leave the Etihad Stadium following yesterday's 3-2 defeat to the Red Devils.
Although the Italy striker was not threatened, it was not the only time he was abused by supporters, only earlier it had been his own fans attacking him for making his way straight down the tunnel after he had been replaced by Carlos Tevez.
And after another tepid performance in a largely disappointing campaign, Mancini has warned the 22-year-old time is running out for him to start accepting the responsibilities that come with his status.
"I love Mario but it is important for him to start to think about his job," the City boss said. "He has everything to play well but he can't continue to play like today. We wanted more from him.
"When you have a player that has Mario's quality, you cannot understand why he continues to throw it out of the window. It is incredible.
"I have seen players in my life with fantastic quality. But in the end, they did nothing. I don't want Mario to finish like these players. It would be bad for him."
That Tevez helped turn yesterday's game on its head until Robin van Persie's injury-time winner just underlined Balotelli's negligible contribution.
He did set up Sergio Aguero with one fine through ball, but it was not until after Tevez's arrival that Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta grabbed the goals that hauled City level and, briefly, threatened victory.
Instead, the Blues find themselves six points adrift of their neighbours after their 37-match unbeaten home record in the Premier League was blown apart by Van Persie's deflected free-kick.
Nevertheless, despite the spectre of Pep Guardiola continuing to hang over him after an awful week in which his side bowed out of all European competition on the back of the worst English performance in Champions League history, Mancini insists City can still retain the title.
"Even though we have lost this game we have shown we can win the title this year," he said.
"It is clear, we need to work hard and stop making mistakes. We can't continue to go one or two goals behind because it is difficult to recover.
"We have a good spirit. Now we need to win four or five matches in a row."

This book is an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand revelation from heaven. It presents, in a simple form, the mind of God concerning mankind. It depicts God's plans and purposes for our life. God's original plan for us is to dominate, subdue, replenish, and be fruitful. There was no proviso for struggles, sickness, and failure. The struggles and failure we see today came as a result of disruption in the link between the natural and the supernatural. This book prescribes the remedy to this disruption. It explains the need to amend the disruption in order to connect with the supernatural and be restored to the original plan of God.
Christmas is all about gifts illustrates a parent teaching his inquisitive children about Christrnas. This is not a children's book. It's a Christian parent's guide to teaching their kids about Christmas. This book should never be read by children without a parent being present nor should the song be played to children without a parent being present.

'Intriguing blend of spiritual vignette personal testimony. The author makes numerous thought-provoking statements. Author Bates has a timely, and probably convictng for many, message to share.'

'I was touched in my spirit by what the Lord gave you to write. I'm sure all the messages that you gave from your heart originated from the heart of the Father. I want to confirm that I personally believe God's annoiting was in this writing. Your humility and honesty were apparent.'

God's Glory and the ExhortationReviewCompetently composed mini sermons mix with inspiring personal experience in a book that aims to redirect Christians toward the right path.
Rene Bates believes he understands why Christian churches have failed in their duty: because their leaders "seek to be educated and highly trained, but … haven't been with Jesus." In God's Glory and the Exhortation, Bates says he has had various experiences of contact with God and his messengers, and the author states that "it's time to know Him, not simply know about Him."
Bates's own religious conversion began with situations in which he believes God personally reached out to him. For example, he says that he saw his dying mother's spirit leave her body and go to God. Some of the book's fifty-six chapters involve signs of God in his life both before his conversion and after he was saved, including meetings with people he believes were agents of the Almighty, if not Jesus himself.
Some chapters are like sermons in which Bates explains long passages from the Bible. He believes he has been given true insight into modern Christianity, and he exhibits particular animus toward "false churches" that are "loveless, corrupt, compromising, lukewarm and dead." He asserts that modern preachers are for the most part "religionists" who will say or do anything to keep their congregations happy and their salaries rolling in. Jesus, he asserts, "left religionists and went to sinners," and Bates reminds readers that the way to Jesus is "the way of tears," not pleasant feelings. In a "letter" toward the end of the book, he advises, simply, "Don't try to lead, just follow."
Mixing personal stories with scripture-based exhortations, Bates seeks to inform others of his philosophy, arguing that "it could change the way you view present day Christianity." However, his text is repetitive and is based on inspiration rather than a well-organized set of ideas. One instantly grasps his central theme—the modern church, in the grip of prideful leaders, has taken a wrong turn.
This attractive hardcover book was written, according to the dust jacket, "after sixteen years of praying, waiting and listening"; a companion volume has been written but not published. Bates writes competently, and his book possesses only occasional typos.
In God's Glory and the Exhortation, the author has a message he sincerely wishes to share. His message will resonate most with those who already share his point of view.
Barbara Bamberger ScottSeptember 5, 2013
The theories and conclusions made within the pages of this book are meant to open the minds of the religious and non religious readers to the idea that faith that is declared a truth can and must be scrutinized in order to confirm and also remove doubt has to how one can perceive the world and appreciate its wonderful burden and blessing with regards to how religion paints our perception however accurate or inaccurate.
The title 'Truth to the 1st Power' is an analogy to the math equation that anything to itself is essentially itself. The theory is to bring to life the principle idea that truth will always remain true and it will only expand but continue to remain constant all while being scrutinized. The truth will never deviate its first position of complete logic and relevance. The author attempts to bring this theory to the topic of religion with compelling conclusions.
Today's Hispanic generation does not always handle the Spanish language as its vernacular. Many a time, major confusion occurs within Hispanic families because of the lack of bilingual skills. In the spiritist community, this language barrier has all too often caused potential mediums to either continue being handicapped in their development or choose another path that may lead to spiritual pitfalls.Additionally, the English-speaking community is fertile ground for new mediums from this cultural group. Many of the alleged translations of prayer books, particularly those of Allan Kardec, are a sham. You cannot translate them literally word for word. It must be translated in context of the cultural idea being presented. In this, whoever attempted the translations has slapped the public in the face with a horrid, nonsensical excuse for print. At some time, there will have to be a concerted effort to translate these works officially on paper. Up to now, it is done word of mouth, which leaves a lot to be desired when attending a misa (séance).

More Canadians in debt, making lower monthly payments poll finds
Study by Bank of Montreal shows Albertans have the highest amount of debt payments, with Quebec at the lowest.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A new poll suggests that more Canadians are in debt this year and taking longer to settle their accounts.
The study released Wednesday by the Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) found that 83 per cent of Canadians surveyed admit to having some form of debt, an increase from 74 per cent a year earlier.
But the poll also found that the average amount of monthly debt repayment has fallen by 13 per cent from a national average of $1,138 to $986. Regionally, those in Alberta had the highest amount of debt payments each month at $1,225, while those who live in Quebec reported the least amount at $768.
BMO vice-president Janet Peddigrew says these results could indicate two things: either people are having more trouble making high monthly payments, or they're in no hurry to pay down their debt due to current low interest rates.
"We've had prolonged interest rates for a few years now, allowing people to take on more debt while still ensuring that it's affordable so they're able to manage the debt that they have," she said.
The annual poll also found that nearly half of those surveyed said their household debt has decreased in the past five years, compared with 28 per cent who said it has increased during that period. More than half said they plan on being debt-free within five years.
Meanwhile, a majority of homeowners said they anticipate being mortgage-free within 10 years and a third said they can do it in five years. Twenty-nine per cent plan on paying down their mortgage within the next year.
Peddigrew cautioned that Canadians shouldn't be lulled into thinking low interest rates will last forever, and that debt left unpaid now can be as easily handled in the future.
"If there is any message that comes out of this it is to be prudent and look at reducing your debt levels now that (interest rates are) still low because we all know that they're going to start creeping up," she said.
"Time is of the essence. If you can afford to pay more on a monthly basis, do it and get it reduced."
The largest source of debt cited by Canadians polled was a mortgage, at 34 per cent, followed by car payments at 19 per cent and student loans at 14 per cent.
The online poll done by Pollara surveyed 1,005 Canadians on their debt levels and repayment between July 12 and 16.
The polling industry's professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

LATEST: The man who died after boiler explosion at a school north of Auckland yesterday has been named.
He was the school's caretaker and Orewa resident Richard Louis Nel, 59.
The explosion happened at Orewa College at 2.40pm yesterday.
Middlemore Hospital confirmed Mr Nel's death this morning.
Mr Nel had been transferred to the hospital's burns unit last night after he and another man injured in the explosion were flown to Auckland Hospital by Westpac rescue helicopter yesterday.
St John Ambulance spokesman Murray Bannister said he was understood to have had burns to 90 per cent of his body.
A second man, Robin Tubman, of North Shore-based Tubman Heating Services, reportedly went into the boiler room to get access to a power point, which is when the room exploded.
Mr Tubman suffered extensive facial injuries. He is in an induced coma on life support at Auckland Hospital. Emergency surgery was carried out last night to remove blood clots, and he is in a stable condition.
Investigators said this morning it was too early to tell what caused the fatal explosion and fire.
Fire safety officer Ray Coleman said he and Department of Labour investigators were back at the scene today.
Mr Coleman, who is trying to determine the cause and the source of the fire, said it was too early to reach any conclusion.
He spent about three hours at the school yesterday gathering information before darkness fell.
"It's early days," he said.
"That's why we closed down last night. It was just too dark to even be hypothesising. You start doing that and you find yourself going down the track you don't need to be going down."
Mr Coleman expected to remain on site for the rest of the day, while the department, which investigates all workplace accidents, could be there for a few days.
Orewa College Deputy principal Mark Quigley said the school had problems with its boiler on Tuesday and called in contractors Tubman Heating Services to take a look at it.
One of the contractors and Mr Nel were in the boiler room doing maintenance when the "steam explosion" happened, he said.
A witness said the explosion broke thick glass windows and lifted up a portion of the boiler-room roof. "The whole school shook," he said.
Mr Quigley said a second contractor was outside the boiler room and was unhurt.
Mr Quigley said three staff members rushed to the injured men as soon as they heard the bang.
The school, which has a roll of about 1700, was closed today.
Parents were asked to check their emails or the school's website, or listen to the local radio station to find out whether classes would resume tomorrow.

City tests smart way ahead for car users: Cambridge has embarked on a hi-tech, road-pricing diet but the start was not without its hiccups
Friday 08 October 1993
The experiment, backed by the Department of Transport and the European Community, involves a system of roadside beacons, with 'smart cards' and a reader being fitted into the car. As the car enters the central area, its meter is turned on by a roadside beacon. If its speed falls below a certain level, units are automatically deducted from the smart card.
Professor Peter Hills, head of the development team, said: 'You would charge up the smart card at a service station . . . there would be a machine to do it.'
The system is being tested in Cambridge as part of a Europe-wide initiative to assess and develop the equipment that would be needed for a variety of road-pricing methods. However, Mike Sharpe, Cambridgeshire's director of transportation, said it was unlikely that any full-scale scheme would be operating before the end of the century: 'The hurdles to overcome are not technological but political. There has to be a full public debate and acceptance and it would need new legislation.'
The point was underlined yesterday morning on the local radio station when the owner of McKay's ironmongers in the middle of town warned that he would have to move his business out of town if the scheme was introduced.
Professor Hills thought that several European cities might be operating the scheme before the end of the century.
The experiment is part of a wider, three-year government study into road pricing and transport ministers have recently been more bullish about the possibility of some form being introduced in Britain. The equipment being tested in Cambridge was developed by a team from Newcastle upon Tyne University, and involves only three cars and two beacons.
Yesterday, the pitfalls were all too apparent. A red Ford Escort fitted with the onboard equipment, which included a keypad and electronic display plugged into the car's cigarette lighter, failed to function. A Cavalier was called up but again there was trouble. The machine interpreted efforts to operate the equipment as an attempt to defraud it. 'Violation - card misused. Vehicle Enforced,' the machine responded.

In his service agreement, Mr Chisholm, a News Corp director, "has agreed that if, at any time during his employment, he becomes aware of any ideas or proposals that could be exploited by [BSkyB], he shall ensure that any such idea or proposal is first offered to the Group."
This information came to light in documents filed with the Securities Exchange Commission in the US. They also reveal that David Chance, deputy managing director, received pounds 823,000 in the year to 30 June, while finance director Richard Brooke was paid pounds 584,000. None of the three have taken up options under two additional share incentive schemes.
The company said the payments reflected the board's performance-related policy and the high values generated for shareholders.
