Question: Mid-May this year and staff at Manchester City had a problem. It was Yaya Toure’s birthday and they needed to ensure their star midfielder had a cake. Some people inside the club cared and others didn’t. Toure himself probably didn’t care. But City knew the media would be asking and it was, after all, best to have all bases covered. Toure got his cake. Three months ago, this was not untypical of Toure’s life in England.One of the great players of the Barclays Premier League had been worn down by too much football and his future at City was cast into doubt — not only because of his poor form, but by the persistent pronouncements of close friend and agent Dimitri Seluk.It looked like Yaya Toure would be leaving Manchester City in the summerFriend and agent Dimitry Seluk wanted his client to finish career elsewhereIt was easy to question Toure's state of mind in a disappointing last seasonToure was back to his best in the 3-0 rout at West Brom on Monday nightNow midfielder has his sights set on Chelsea: 'I know what I have to do' 
 Question:Nevertheless, _ understands now that his agent’s apparent desire for one last lucrative transfer was a hindrance last season and a conversation between them to that effect is believed to have taken place.

Question: (CNN) -- The Supreme Court begins each session with a proclamation that ends with the words "God save this Honorable Court." Even strict advocates of the separation of Church and State ought to say "Amen" to that line after Thursday's decision upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act . I write this as someone who not only thought that the act would be overturned, but also still thinks there are strong constitutional arguments to be made against the mandate. All Americans, however, regardless of their partisan affiliation or views on the Constitution, had something to celebrate Thursday . Despite what almost all the pundits predicted, the court's decision provides some evidence that there remains one institution of American government that cannot be seen as nakedly partisan. In the end, Chief Justice John Roberts, a career Republican who was nominated for the Supreme Court by George W. Bush, cast the deciding vote upholding the signature act of the current Democratic administration.Paul Sracic says whatever your political bent, you can celebrate Supreme Court's decisionHe says it's evidence that there's still an American institution that is not nakedly partisanHe says a career Republican, the Chief Justice, cast deciding vote on Dem Obama's lawSracic: The example of bipartisan deliberation was much needed in today's political climate 
 Question:Unfortunately, the divide between _ and Democrats has, if anything, gotten worse over the past 3Â½ years.

Answer: Republican
