I find it funny that fighting Joey Abell,Robert Hawkins and Derrik Rossy would qualify anyone for a title. His promoters must have some juice and this idiot want to screw them . He should kiss their ass but he has a history of fnnn everyone who helps him .Posted May 24, 2014 10:04 am
This is why boxing is in the dumps..We need more Arreola/Stiverne type fights on free tv.No they aren't great but it made for a good fight to get people interested again..Oquendo,McCall Briggs these guys had there time and now it's time for a change of the guard..Posted May 24, 2014 7:35 am
please stop these mickey mouse titles! just go to disney land!

Fres Oquendo have NEVER made himself worthy of a real world title shot sence 2004 and now he gets to fight for a "regular" WBA world title? – F£ck WBA. They do it again. For the last time Wladimir Klitschko is the undisputed & unified world heavyweight champion (Lineal/WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO) and only the WBC belt is on the run from him.
Non of these two fighters will be recognised as real world title champions as there title is a fake paper title.Posted May 23, 2014 8:52 am

Pit bull if you live in chi town this guy has it all going on I've heard he is one of the owners of that joint . What does the Forman fight have to do with anything . You sound like dude that really wishes he was a fighter but never had the balls to do it . Im a big fan that guy has done and helped a lot of fighters a little how about respect please . Guy took the fight on 4 days notice read the bioPosted May 22, 2014 7:29 pm
Words can't express how retarded the WBA is. The whole concept is laughable. You have a "super" champion and a "regular" champion. Am I the only one confused by this. Wlad the Super champion and he just beat the "regular" in povetkin. Doesn't that make him super & regular champ? Not only that , any organization that has Fres Oqendo vs. Chagaev as it's top 2 contenders for the belt, really shows you how much of a joke the rating system is. Maybe Shannon briggs is a genius after all. He could probably beat the loser of this fight and be the mandatory for Wlad's title. What a joke.Posted May 22, 2014 3:49 pm

You can see it comes with five figures. Besides Batman, you get Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Robin, a stylish Joker, and a goon. It retails for $49.99. I picked it up at Target and you can also get it directly from LEGO.com.
This set has 486 pieces. Not too many but more than enough to build some cool accessories.
If you're a fan of Robin, this is your chance to get a LEGO Robin, if you don't already have one. Which Robin is it? You could always just make it whichever you want. He is shorter than the other figures. It's interesting that he's shorter here than the Damian figure in the Arkham Asylum Breakout set.
The steam roller is pretty cool. It's not just a regular steam roller, it's been Joker-ized.
We all know Joker has a thing for trying to off Robins. Why not try something a little different and use a steam roller on him?
Luckily for little Robin here, Batgirl is around to lend a hand...or Batarang. You have to admit, it's super cool finally getting a LEGO Batgirl.
Batgirl is a great shot with a Batarang. And...let's just pretend this particular LEGO Batarang is strong enough to stop a steam roller. Of course it could, right?
The Joker Goon has a crowbar (because Joker loves crowbars almost as much as offing Robins). Can he remove the Batarang so they can continue with their plans?
Joker won't be too pleased with his plans being messed up. Unfortunately for Batgirl and Robin, he also comes with a gun. LEGO Killing Joke?
But this set is for kids so of course it's one of Joker's trick guns.
Where's Batman during all this? He's on his way, flying in a Bat-wing (or Batplane, if you prefer).
We've been seeing a lot of different Bat-vehicles in these different LEGO sets. This one is pretty cool. The wings move forward and there are missiles just in case Batman needs to try to blow stuff up.
The steam roller has its own missiles. For the sake of the kids reading along, we'll skip over any actual LEGO explosions.
You're probably aware but, Batman is really rich billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne. So when it comes to stopping villains like Joker, sacrificing a Batplane is not a problem.
Batman always has a plan in mind and knows he'll be able to stop Joker.
Batman wins.
That's it for this week. Let us know what you thought of this selection. You get a lot in this set. Two vehicles and plenty of cool characters. We'll have another selection next time.

These pyrite earrings are hand crafted with pure and sterling silver. I designed them with heart shape cut fools gold stones.
They are 1.2cm in diameter
Pyrite Stone, also commonly called Fools Gold because of its similarity in color, shape, and habit to gold. In the old mining days, Pyrite was often confused with Gold as they occur together. Pyrite occurs in all different shapes and forms in nature. The smaller crystal aggregates give off a beautiful glistening effect in light.

This week, Favorite Comic Runs decided to celebrate two brilliant pieces of work by Alan Moore: V FOR VENDETTA and WATCHMEN. They serve as excellent commentaries on politics, the superhero genre, and mankind in general; however, we wanted to see which story you prefer and why.
It wasn't an easy decision, but many Viners accepted the challenge and eventually made a choice. The voting period is now over and WATCHMEN obliterated V FOR VENDETTA. It was kind of like how Dr. Manhattan easily destroyed... okay, even though the story is quite well-known by now, we'll avoid spoiling that for the very few that have yet to dive into the epic.
WATCHMEN took 71% of the votes, and V FOR VENDETTA earned 24%. Meanwhile, 7% shamefully admitted they haven't read either of these storylines. Hopefully they'll rectify that mistake as soon as possible.
Along with artist Dave Gibbons, Moore crafted a masterpiece that has absolutely earned the enormous amount of praise it regularly receives. It's a compelling read that's laced with unique characters, superb contrasts between the dialogue and the artwork within the panels, and, of course, a stellar narrative which speaks volumes about multiple topics. Despite being decades old, it's an experience that holds up in the modern era extremely well and is without question a tale that begs multiple visits over the years. Simply put: WATCHMEN is something every comic fan needs to read at least once.
Several Viners chimed in throughout the week and we've highlighted two thoroughly impressive and detailed posts. Yes, there's some spoilers.
Viner Post for WATCHMEN is by Saren
"Watchmen, I think, has more impact because it draws much of its framework from events that we've already lived through and faced the impact of ---- Kitty Genovese's death, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, etc; whereas it's not as easy to get into V for Vendetta's deal owing to it being set in a hypothetical future with hypothetical causes. It lends more urgency to the former. V is also a lot more traditional as far as storytelling goes: good guy fights evil system to liberate the oppressed masses has been done to death. The heroes in Watchmen have more or less all given up on the oppressed masses --- the Comedian believes that humanity is inherently wicked, Rorschach believes humanity is inherently apathetic, and Doctor Manhattan doesn't really care about humanity anymore. The only person who actually believes in humanity and wants to restore its potential to the world is Ozymandias, the villain of the story. V for Vendetta's impact on the conventions of storytelling is fairly minimal in comparison to the impact Watchmen had and continues to have."
Viner Post for V FOR VENDETTA is by kennybaese
"V for Vendetta for this guy.
The more I think about Watchmen, and the more times I've read it, the less I like it. I really dislike the ending. It is hinted at enough throughout the story that I can't categorize it as unearned, but it is unbelievably goofy given how seriously the rest of the book takes itself. I realize that this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think that the ending in the Zack Snyder's adaptation is better. It's cleaner and makes more sense within its fictional world. Plus, every time I read an interview with Alan Moore regarding Watchmen, I dislike him, and by extension the book, a little more. He continues to be insistent that Watchmen is the best thing that DC has ever published, and that they won't let him have the rights back because nothing else they have is as good; something I wholeheartedly disagree with. Watchmen has had a huge impact on the superhero genre, but like The Dark Knight Returns, people tend to ignore its imperfections in the interest of only singing its praises.
V for Vendetta, on the other hand, has aged perfectly, and is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. With V for Vendetta, Moore told a good story inspired by real world concerns without the burden of trying to fix or otherwise elevate a genre within the medium he seems to think is beneath him. The character of V is rich and layered, serving as the protagonist and antagonist at different points in the story. While the characters in Watchmen are interesting, they're ultimately rather one note. The only ones that have really changed by the end of the story are Dan and Laurie. Both V and Evey have much more complete and interesting arcs. V goes from simply wanting revenge to actually buying into the political dogma he used to justify his murders in the first half of the book. Evey's entire life is changed by her contact with V, and she goes some being a weak victim of the system to the next person in line to dismantle it. The art has aged better as well, I think. Gibbons art is gorgeous, no doubt, but it still feels distinctly 80's (mostly due to the coloring, I think) whereas Lloyd's art in V for Vendetta looks much more timeless.
Watchmen, at its heart, is ultimately just another superhero book. A very good, meticulously crafted one, but its still a superhero story, complete with a silly twist ending. V for Vendetta on the other hand works as a paranoia fueled political thriller, a superhero story, a revenge tale, a murder mystery, and a modern fable all wrapped up in one while telling a much more concise, grounded, and otherwise satisfying story to read. Because it seems more interested in telling a story rather than subverting a genre, it's better at it, so it gets my vote."
Below is a teaser for the weekly segment's next pairing. Think you have a keen eye and know what it is? Well, if you're the first person to guess BOTH covers correctly, we'll give you some praise in the upcoming article. Have at thee with the guesses, Viners!
Be sure to check the homepage on Monday to vote in the next Favorite Comic Runs match-up. Also, do you want to suggest a writer and two of their stories for the segment? Go ahead and tell us below or send it via Twitter. Don't be shy, we welcome the input. Have a good weekend, everyone!

First Steps in Sencha Touch
Want to develop mobile applications across all platforms? Want to develop HTML5 mobile applications? Don't know where to start?
This article aims to help you begin your journey with the Sencha Touch HTML5 framework.
What is Sencha Touch?
Sencha Touch is an HTML5 framework for developing mobile applications. It allows you to develop mobile applications that would have the same look and feel as a native application. Sencha Touch supports Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Microsoft Surface Pro and RT, and Blackberry devices.
- UI components (Panels, Tab bar, Navigation view, buttons, pickers)
- Components can be themed depending on the target devices
- Access device capabilities like camera, accelerometer etc, with the help of PhoneGap frameworks.
How to Start
Download the free Sencha Touch SDK and Sencha Cmd from the Sencha website. Note that Sencha Cmd will also install Ant, Ruby, Sass, and Compass, all or some of which will be useful for building applications.
You will also need a web server running locally on your computer, for example XAMPP.
The Sencha website advises "If you are running the IIS web server on Windows, manually add
application/x-json as a MIME Type for Sencha Touch to work properly. For information on adding this MIME type see the following link: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1121114/273985".
Extract the SDK zip file to your projects directory. This folder should be accessible to your HTTP server, so you can navigate to http://localhost/sencha-touch-2.n in your browser and see the Sencha Touch documentation.
Run the Sencha Cmd installer. The installer adds the Sencha command line tool to your path, enabling you to generate a fresh application template, among other things.
Confirm that Sencha Cmd is correctly installed by changing to the Sencha Touch directory, and entering a
sencha command, for example:
$ cd ~/webroot/sencha-touch-2.n/
$ sencha
Sencha Cmd v3.1.n
Note When using the
sencha command, you must be inside either the downloaded SDK directory or a generated Touch app. For further details see the Sencha Cmd documentation.
Your development and testing environment should now be ready.
Sencha Touch Project
- Index.html – page where your application will be hosted from.
- App Directory – the application in general is a collection of Models,Views, Controllers, Stores and Profiles
- Model: represents the type of data that should be used/stored in the application
- View: displays data to the user with the help of inbuilt Sencha UI components/custom components
- Controller: handles UI Interactions and the interaction between the model and the view.
- Store: responsible for loading data into the application
- Profile: helps in customizing the UI for various phone and tablets.
- Resources Directory – contains images, css and other media assets
- App.js
- Global settings of the application
- Contains the app name, references to all the models, views, controllers, profiles and stores
- Contains the app launch function that is called after the models, views, controllers, profiles and stores are loaded. App launch function is the starting point of the application wherein the first view gets instantiated and loaded.
- Touch directory – Contains the Sencha Touch framework files.
Try a Sample
Let us create a simple navigation view with a list in it.
Ext.define('MyFirstApp.view.Home',{ extend:'Ext.NavigationView', xtype:'Home', config:{ items:[] } });
Let's break that down.
Ext.define function helps us to define a class named
Home in the namespace
MyFirstApp/view. All view components are placed within this namespace as per Sencha Touch MVC standards.
Extend keyword specifies that
Home class is the subclass of
Ext.NavigationView. So, the
Home class inherits the base configuration and implementation of
Ext.NavigationView class.
xtype keyword is used to instantiate the class.
Config keyword helps us to initialize the variables/components used in that particular class. In this example we should initialize the navigation view with a list.
The content of
Items in the Home view is currently blank. Let us create a list view and place its reference inside the items field of the Home view.
First of all, present this home view in the app launch function
launch: function() { // Initialize the main view Ext.Viewport.add([{xtype:'Home'}]); },
Now, Let us create a simple model class for the data in the list.
Ext.define('MyFirstApp.model.MyModel',{ extend:'Ext.data.Model', config:{ fields:['name'] } });
Let us create a data store and map it to the above model.
Ext.define('MyFirstApp.store.MyStore',{ extend:'Ext.data.Store', config:{ model:'MyFirstApp.model.MyModel', autoLoad:true, data:[ {name:'t1'}, {name:'t2'} ], proxy:{ type:'localstorage' } } });
We have initialized the store with the list data as well.
Proxy is used to load the model with the data. The Local Storage object is an HTML5 feature for storing data locally in the browser. There are other proxies as well.
Ajax – Used for request within a particular domain
Local Database – Allows creating client side database.
We can omit the proxy for this sample as we will not be using it.
Ext.define('MyFirstApp.view.MyList',{ extend:'Ext.Panel', xtype:'MyList', requires:['Ext.dataview.List','Ext.data.Store'], config:{ title:'My List', layout:'fit', items:[ { xtype:'list', store:'MyStore', itemTpl:'<b>{name}<b>' } ] } });
In the code above,
MyList view is created in the namespace
MyFirstApp.view and it inherits the properties of
When references to other classes are required in a particular class, those classes should be declared under the
requires field. Sencha Touch ensures that the required classes are loaded.
MyList view is initialized with the title as
My List, layout as
fit and contents as the
List component.
List component is mapped to the data store.
ItemTpl represents the data template as to how the list should be displayed to the user.
Now we will add the list to our home view
Ext.define('MyFirstApp.view.Home',{ extend:'Ext.NavigationView', xtype:'Home', config:{ items:[xtype:'MyList'] } });
The above example can be tested in Chrome browser by simulating various mobile resolutions. Right click on the browser and select 'Inspect Element'. Select Settings icon in the right corner of the Inspect Element Window. Select any user agent and the resolution.
The aim of this article has been to help you take your first steps in Sencha Touch development. So, what are you waiting for?
Go ahead and improvise, adapt the code, bring in your ideas, then develop and publish your own HTML5 mobile applications.

The Adventurers Club (AC) grades 1-4, is the first club a child can belong to (unless you are following the California conference's "Discovery Club" which incorporates Little Lambs and Eager Beavers and adds Baby Birds (before LL) and Curious Cubs (inserted between LL and EB) to give the younger ones their "own" club). There are four levels in this club (unless you are incorporating LL and EB into your Adventurer Club program):
Grade 1 – Busy Bee
Grade 2 – Sunbeam
Grade 3 – Builder
Grade 4 – Helping Hand
These four levels were developed in 1930 under the Pre-JMV (Junior Missionary Volunteer) label (endorsed by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1939). Originally these four levels were part of the Pathfinder Club (PC). In 1989, the Adventurer Club separated from Pathfinders and became its own independent program. In 1992, the pilot process was complete and it became official.
The Adventurers Club's primary purpose is to assist parents (the child's most important teacher) in the development of their children's spiritual, mental, social, and physical growth. Another way to think of it is as a bridge that allows home and church to work together.

I did a lot of research before buying and I picked the SE Sport 300 Hydrofoil because it seemed to have the best reviews from what I could find. I found that some people do not like hydrofoils and many more think that they are great.
In considering a hydrofoil to improve something about your boats performance we should keep in mind that these add on devices are to make up for deficiencies in our hulls design. It is the law of physics that when you improve in one area you will usually lose in another.
From what I have read self adjusting trim tabs should work better but there is no place to install them on my boat because of the way the hull is designed.
I wanted something to stop my boat from porpoising and I was hoping to increase fuel economy as so many of the reviews that I read said that it would. The Sport 300 corrected both of the problems. My boat seems to now be about 2 mph slower at full throttle so the hydrofoil did cut my top speed. At the same time it increased fuel economy by 40%. I would have never believed it possible. I can accept that trade since I normally do not want to run at full throttle anyway. Another benefit is that I can now make sharp high speed turns without a cavitation problem. I can also now keep it on plane at a slower speed than I could have before without the hydrofoil.
The fuel consumption is based on the amount of fuel used to travel the same distance with the Hydrofoil installed as it was without it. All other variables being the same on a lake. With my boat, once on plane fuel economy seems to be about the same at slow speed or at high speed.
My boat is a 16' open bow runabout with a 110 HP Evinrude outboard motor. Total listed empty weight of the hull and motor is 1520 pounds.
If you are trying to figure out if a hydrofoil could help with the performance of your boat. I hope that this will help you. With the high price of gas at the fuel dock the Hydrofoil 300 has already paid for itself in the first five uses of the boat. I think that it would also improve a boats performance that did not have a problem to correct.

The Bad:
I have a 20 ft bass boat with a Johnson 150 on the back, I didn't gain any advantage out of the hole. The prop still blows out if I get too aggressive with the throttle and I didn't gain any time to get on plane. To top it all off, I lost about 5 mph on the top end... too bad.
The Good:
The foil did make a noted difference in my turning radius and crispness of response. It was suprememly easy to install and seems to be very well made. I haven't used it long enough to be able to vouch for any efficiency increases.
The Summary:
This product seems like it would be a fantastic purchase for someone who may have bought too much boat for their first time. It tightens up the steering control and in my experience brings the top end down just a touch. Stability and forgiveness... not a bad deal on the water.

I installed this on the outboard unit on my 120hp Mercruiser. Befor the front of the boat would come out of the water and take forever to plane out. After, came out half as much and immediately planed , it also helped on the steering control. I would recommend this to any one. Very easy to install and deleviery was quick.

Comments about Sport Marine SE Sport 300 Hydrofoil, Fits Engines Over 40 HP:
Did just what the product said it would. Installed on a Mercury 115 4 stroke in about 20 minutes. Drilled holes and attached. May want to get longer steel bolts as the ones sent just barely make it.
Put the boat in the water and the front of the boat planed nicely. Before attaching the "fin" it took a half mile to get it to plane off.
Lost no top speed. In fact it increased top speed by about 10 mph.

|The CAXB Series external hard drive delivers reliable storage expansion and the incredible 3.0Gbps transfer speed of eSATA, all in one sleek aluminum package. The transfer speed, at six times faster than USB 2.0, will blow you away.
The external hard drive's solid aluminum enclosure boasts exceptional heat dissipation for near-silent, fan-less operation. The CAXB is remarkably durable, offering state-of-the art shock absorption and superior all-around performance, and its stackable design gives you a streamlined, uncluttered workplace.
Customer Reviews of Cavalry CAXB Series 2TB USB 2.0 & eSATA 7200RPM 32MB Cache External Hard Drive
Not quite as discribed, but acceptable1/4/2011
Very good hard drive, reasonably fast, but only has 16 MB cache per manufacturer. That is why I gave a 3 for overall satisfaction, probably just a typo. I am using on ESATA connection, USB 2.0 would be too slow for full back ups.If I was to buy again I would buy the one with ESATA cable and adapter for desktop slot, later I found it and it was less expensive and included the cable.
Great for DirecTV DVR12/10/2010
I used this as a external for my DVR and now I get 400 hours of HD Programming storage space. Make sure you get a esata cord to connect it to the back of the system and it'll make your DVR into a monster.
Superb drive at a good price11/14/2010
I have two of these Cavalry 2TB USB/eSATA drives, and they perform superbly in frequent, daily operation. Virtually silent, they have a rock-solid look and feel that says 'quality'. No setup - just plug in the included USB cable or an optional eSATA cable and go.
It's OK now9/13/2010
Speed over USB is very slow, it will take 30 hours just to format it. You need to buy eSATA cable (extra $15). It's 3 times faster over eSATA (450Mbit/s write). However eSATA connector is too deep, I had to cut some plastic off of the eSATA cable in order to make it work.

Quinnipiac Poll
4:06 pm
Thu January 23, 2014
Constituents React
Since Attorney General Mark Herring announced his decision to side with plaintiffs in the lawsuits challenging the state's ban on gay marriage—reaction is coming in from constituents, and partisan and advocacy groups.
Reporter Sandy Hausman took to the streets of Crozet and Charlottesville, and here's a montage of the reaction she heard from folks .
Back in 2006, 57 percent of Virginians approved the same-sex marriage ban. This summer, a Quinnipiac University poll found the numbers had dropped—down to 43-percent of Virginians opposing gay marriage.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Christo, an internationally renowned artist, will discuss "Over the River," which is a monumental artwork that involves suspending fabric panels above the Arkansas River between Salida and Cañon City in south-central Colorado, at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17, in the University Memorial Center Glenn Miller Ballroom. The event is free and open to the public.
On Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 8 a.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom, I will be presenting my fifth State of the Campus address to faculty, staff, students and the CU community.
This year marks my 40th academic year on the campus as a faculty member, dean and senior administrator, and this year my address will focus on this unprecedented time of change at the university, which I discussed earlier this year in this Chancellor's Corner column: "Why change and innovation are the keys to our future."
I will review where we are on the changes we discussed at the spring Town Hall meeting, and provide an overall progress report on the sixth anniversary of the unveiling of the campus's innovative Flagship 2030 Strategic Plan.
Doors open at 7 a.m. and refreshments are provided. The speech begins promptly at 8 a.m. Read more >>
CU-Boulder's Program Council is hard at work scheduling a lineup of national and local bands, film screenings, comedy shows and other special events for 2013-14. In the process, the students and volunteers are learning career-making skills in how to run a professional production company.
Professor of Civil Engineering and founder of Engineers without Borders-USA, Bernard Amadei will discuss the intertwined roles of science, technology, and engineering necessary in sustainable human development. The issues of poverty, social justice, shelter, food security, and infrastructure development are only a few of the challenges that require multiple perspectives to develop innovative and sustainable solutions.
The talk will be held on Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. in Math 100, and will be followed by a Q&A.
During the spring 2013 semester, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) distributed a campus-wide survey designed to identify client satisfaction levels and areas of improvement for OIT-provided services. The results of this survey are available for your review in the Summary of the Results & Highlights of Findings from the 2013 Annual Proactive Survey report located on the OIT website.
DANDE has left the planet.
A beach ball-sized satellite designed and built by a team of CU-Boulder students is now whipping around the planet in a polar orbit. Roughly 150 students have been involved in the project since 2007.
The satellite, known as the Drag and Atmospheric Neutral Density Explorer satellite, or DANDE, will investigate how atmospheric drag can affect satellite orbits.
The University of Colorado has secured Charleston Southern University as the opponent to replace the Sept. 14 Fresno State football game which was postponed due to the record rainfall and subsequent flooding in Boulder, CU athletic director Rick George announced Monday. The game has been scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 19; the kickoff time will be determined once the Pac-12 Conference sets the television schedule for that day next Monday.
A pair of breakthroughs in the field of silicon photonics by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Micron Technology Inc. could allow for the trajectory of exponential improvement in microprocessors that began nearly half a century ago—known as Moore's Law—to continue well into the future, allowing for increasingly faster electronics, from supercomputers to laptops to smartphones.
When the conversation turns to global warming, many Americans are inclined to turn away. And why not?
After all, it's a vast and complicated subject. Truly understanding it seems to require specialized knowledge most people don't possess. And perhaps most notably, it's become such a hot-button political issue that it easily inflames passions.
The trick is figuring out how to reach people without turning them off.
Using the arts to inspire an emotional connection to and a deeper understanding of a difficult subject is the idea behind a series of events at CU-Boulder Oct. 1-6.
Last weekend, nearly two hundred CU-Boulder students joined the Volunteer Resource Center for a September Give a Day effort, working to help clear out some of the mud and debris from in and around flood victims' homes in Boulder.
In fact, so many people wanted to help, the Volunteer Resource Center had to put a cap on the number of students allowed to sign up.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.
What kind of Buff will you be?
Be in the know. Know what to do.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 6/17/13
If last year's European Championship was the moment Mario Balotelli revealed himself to a global audience, this year's Confederations Cup is shaping up as confirmation that he is a force to be reckoned with on the international stage. And if Italy appeared hesitant at times to heap too much pressure on Balotelli in Poland and Ukraine, that's no longer an issue.
