We've all heard the old saying about two being company, while three, not so much. Usually, this refers to love triangles where an extra person can put a damper on the proceedings (I know what you're thinking, but let's not even go there). But "triangles" can also create problems in other areas of life—including business situations. In fact, we find that the traditional structure of most independent advisory firms includes triangular relationships that invite friction between advisors.
Psychologists tell us that sometimes "triangles" (situations that involved three people) can be beneficial: when the third person is a disinterested party—such as a therapist—who provides an impartial perspective that can decrease the tension between the other two parties. But in real life, outside of counseling, "helpful" triangles are rare. Instead, what usually happens in situations that include three people is that two of them form a stronger bond, which often makes the third person feel left out, and sometimes ganged up on. Consequently, these triangles do not end up as happy, stable or productive relationships.
How does this apply to advisory firms? In the "traditional" structure that has emerged in the independent world, three advisors working together has become way more of the norm than the exception. Often, it's two associate advisors working for a lead or senior advisor, but we've also seen two lead advisors working for a senior advisor, or even a lead and an associate working for a senior advisor (typically the firm owner). We've even seen cases where the two junior advisors form an "alliance" against the firm owner (which, as you might imagine, never ends well).
Regardless of the titles or the experience of the advisors involved, in our experience, more often than not, these structural triangles lead to trouble. Usually, the more senior advisor forms a stronger bond with one of the other advisors: valuing their option more highly, giving them more desirable jobs or assignments, and/or paying them more, or promoting them faster. Or at least, this is how the "left out" advisor often perceives the situation. You don't have to be a Michael Gerber to see where this will lead. We believe that these triangles are a key reason why professional turnover is so high at many firms, especially among young advisors—and consequently, why so many firms have a hard time growing.
Yes, I know that many owner-advisors (or other senior advisors) believe they are filling the role of the "objective" third party, who can calm any tensions between their younger advisors. But the truth is, they can't. For one thing, without any training in relationship mediation, at best they are just learning on the job. More important, firm owners or other team leaders are not "disinterested" parties: financially, professionally and usually from an ego standpoint, they have big stakes in the performance of their "team." What's more, they are often at least part of the cause of the friction within their triangle.
While the problems that triangles create can be quite serious, we've found that the solution is simple: don't create triangles within your firm. Instead, in our client firms, we use a four-advisor structure, which we call "Diamond Teams" (think a baseball diamond) which we wrote about in our March Investment Advisor column: "Diamonds in the Rough." Our Teams, who work with their own stable of clients, include a senior advisor, two lead advisors, and one associate advisor.
While you might think that a four-person team would create the potential for four triangles to form (I'll leave the geometry to you), in our experience that doesn't happen. For one thing, when stronger relations inevitably do form between advisors, the other two don't feel left out: they have each other. What's more, if a "relationship" gets out of hand to the point of favoritism, the two other team members can point it out—and it's much harder to dismiss an issue raised by half the "team."
As owner-advisors grow their firms by adding more advisors, it's important that they focus as much attention on personal dynamics as they do on client service. Teams of two really do make a company—and four-advisor teams work even better—but triangles of three is just asking for trouble.

Wearable Collections founder Adam Baruchowitz is a lifelong environmentalist who decided to do something about the problem of waste — and who also uses his company to benefit nonprofits, too.
How did he ever connect the idea of used clothing and a business with charity?
"One of my best friends was hit by a car and paralyzed from his chest down. We started Wearable Collections as a project to help raise awareness and funds for spinal cord research," says Adam. "My light bulb moment was when I saw a bag of clothing being left on my hallway waiting for weeks to be picked up by an existing collector. I realized the building was a community and that if we could place a larger bin inside buildings it would make for convenient and efficient collections."
About 386 million pounds of textiles enter the waste stream in NYC every year — that represents about 6 percent of all the waste that goes to landfills — and 95 percent of that is reusable, either as clothes to be worn again, or as fabric or old clothing that can be recycled into stuffing or industrial rags. Wearable Collections aims to collect as much of that old fabric as possible. The company takes the clothing to a centralized location to be sorted into the appropriate category (able to be worn again, or used as textile fodder) and gets it to the correct partner organization.
Wearable Collections works with NYC greenmarkets, individual buildings, and schools and local nonprofit organizations (the latter two groups can organize drives that benefit the school or organization instead of a charity) for one-day and ongoing clothing collection. And a percentage of the profits made from the sale of textile materials goes to charities like Habitat for Humanity and The Miami Project.
"Our goal is to reduce the amount of textiles in landfills and keep them in circulation for as long as possible, to be used by people who need them," says Adam. "In the process we hope to raise awareness of the value of items in our waste stream and inspire others to develop efficient solutions to capture other materials."
So is Wearable Collections' model ready to take on the world?
"We have done collections from D.C. to Cleveland to Boston, but our focus is the NYC metro area," says Adam. "Frankly there is so much waste here to capture that it would be very ambitious to be thinking of other regions. However, we do believe our model is replicable and offer consultation to those in other regions wanting to enter the field of textile recycling."

Press Release: Homeless Person's Bill of Rights and Fairness Act Introduced to Assembly
Building off of Rhode Island's community effort, a coalition of West Coast organizations is working with Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) to introduce a Homeless Persons' Bill of Rights and Fairness Act today.
The bill's author, Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, said, "We need to stop criminalizing the behavior of people who have nowhere else to turn. People who are in need of mental health services or who have lost their jobs and their homes are being told, 'Move along or go to jail.' The Homeless Persons' Bill of Rights begins to give us a framework for appropriate approaches to protecting our communities and those who are vulnerable."
"From the Ugly Laws of the mid-19th century—which made it a crime to have a visible disability in public—through the anti-Okie law of the Great Depression—which made it a crime for poor people to enter the state—up through the present, state and local governments have used unjust laws to punish or conceal poor people," said Paul Boden, Organizing Director of the Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP). "But as long as these laws have existed, there's been resistance. We're introducing this bill of rights because we believe that the time has come to address the wrongs and most importantly stop them from ever happening again."
The effort is a collaboration between WRAP, Jericho: A Voice for Justice, and the Western Center on Law and Poverty. Judith Larson of Jericho said, "This is the essence of what Jericho was formed to do, and has continued to do for the past 25 years."
WRAP has conducted over 800 surveys concerning homeless people's interactions with law enforcement. 82% of survey respondents had been hassled by law enforcement for sleeping. 78% had had interactions with law enforcement simply because they'd been hanging out in a public space. 77% had been harassed by law enforcement for sitting down. Becky Dennison, Co-Director of the Los Angeles Community Action Network, said, "When we've criminalized sleeping, standing, and sitting down, we've basically criminalized a person's existence. A bill like this is long overdue".
The Act would guarantee homeless people freedom from discrimination in law enforcement, employment, housing and shelter, and public benefits. It protects people's right to use public space, to keep personal property, and to engage in life-sustaining activities. It also guarantees people the right to counsel in any case where they're being prosecuted. Paula Lomazzi from Sacramento Homeless Organizing Committee said, "These are basic rights that allow all people to stay alive and engage in a democratic society—things most of us get to take for granted, but which remain a daily challenge for many of the poorest members of our communities."

Attacks on press freedom have intensified in Mexico, Central America, Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador, the Inter-America Press Association said Saturday.
Assassinations and assaults on journalists continue in Mexico, Honduras and Brazil, while the governments of Ecuador and Argentina have put legal and economic constraints on media, especially those that don't report the government line, according to the group's country-by-country security reports.
The nonprofit press group, which is meeting through Monday in Puebla, said the worst situation is in Mexico, where 127 journalists have been attacked the last 12 years.
IAPA said such incidents have continued under new President Enrique Pena Nieto, who canceled an appearance at the group's conference.
Vice President Armando Castilla detailed attacks over the last six months, including the disappearance of a journalist in San Luis Potosi and two killings, one just last week in the Mexican border town of Ojinaga. The newspapers Diario de Juarez and Siglo de Torreon have also come under attack in recent days.
The most anticipated country report came from Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez, the first time that the island's report was given by a Cuban journalist.
Cuban journalists and activists walk "a red line between liberty and jail," said Sanchez, a dissident who writes the blog Generation Y.
"Activists and journalist are too often picked up by plain-clothes men. After a few hours they're released in shock, still under threat" she said, adding there is no record of the arrests, giving those detained no basis for complaints.
But Sanchez said that despite constraints by the government, Cubans have found new ways to protest and register their opinions, and more independent journalists are using Internet social media despite little access to such portals in country.

When I first started looking into the new developments on Joplin, I thought the news was that recent Tony Award winner Nina Arianda was replacing Amy Adams in THE Janis Joplin biopic, but it turns out Arianda is starring in A Janis Joplin biopic and Adams is still attached to another, different Joplin project.
Dueling Janises!
Which means that Amy Adams as Janis Joplin is still happening, as strange and incomprehensible as that is. Joplin, however, is pretty well ready to go, with a budget (sub-$20 million), a director (Martha Marcy May Marlene's Sean Durkin), a start date penciled in for early 2013, and the trifecta of life rights, song rights and rights to a collection of Joplin's letters and a biography. They've certainly got their ducks in a row on that one.
That leaves us with the two actresses. I wonder how much of a passion project this is for Adams? Because Joplin is actually happening in the near future and Adams' Joplin project is still largely amorphous. Movies like this often get developed in triplicate (remember when everyone wanted a Jeff Buckley biopic?), but usually only one of them gets made. With a different project beating them into theaters, I wonder how hard Adams would work to keep her project alive.
But let's give her the benefit of the doubt. Which is more intriguing to you—the transformation Adams will have to go through for Janis, or the Broadway ingénue who could stun us all?

Success Stories
/ Organic Conservation Activity Plan Brings Life to Organic Idea in Morgan County
Loading Tree...
By Travis Badger, Soil Conservation Aid, Morgan County Soil and Water Conservation District, Hartselle, AL
Gary Slaten builds a Seasonal High Tunnel funded in part by an NRCS EQIP Organic Conservation Activity.
Gary Slaten of Hartselle, Alabama, took a great idea, allowed NRCS to assist him in his efforts, and brought to life his "organic idea."
Slaten decided to expand his farm to growing organic vegetables. He did some research and discovered how to build a hoop house for organic production of vegetables. He bought the materials and did the work to build his hoop house.
With additional research, he realized there were NRCS incentive programs that could help him pay for a hoop house. He also found ways to build an even larger and more advanced house, thus leading to better production of organic vegetables.
"My friends discouraged me." stated Slaten. "They said there would be too much paper work if I went through NRCS." But Slaten did not let simple paperwork stand in the way of his vision.
After talking to staff in the Hartselle Field Office about newly advanced farming techniques, Slaten realized this was a great opportunity.
With the encouragement of NRCS staff, Slaten attended the production and marketing training of organic vegetables in Clanton, Alabama, presented by Weidiger of Au Natural Farm in Kentucky. He learned, among other things, that the prices of different vegetables varied in different locations due to the supply and demand. Slaten realized that his production of organic vegetables would not only be a benefit to him financially, but help the community with an economical choice for organic vegetables.
Among information on organic vegetable production, Slaten discovered high tunnel houses and their advantages due to better control of interior environment. He also found he would be able to grow plants 52 weeks of the year using the sun's warmth in winter.
With the assistance of NRCS and the Morgan Soil and Water Conservation District, Slaten built a high tunnel house for his organic vegetables. "Buying the plants was the next step," states Slaten. Prices of organic plants are considerably more expensive than non-organic. Slaten commented that one organic tomato plant can run around $2.99 whereas non-organic plants could be 6 for $2.99.
Slaten plans to grow his plants from seeds which are comparable in price to non-organic seeds, but will bring about more challenges due to the no chemical application regulation that gives organic vegetables their unique quality.
Slaten is prepared for this organic farming venture and is looking forward to the benefits it will bring to his family and the community. "I could not have had this large of an operation without the assistance and advice from NRCS and the Morgan County Soil and Water Conservation Service," stated Slaten.
Morgan County NRCS is proud to have Gary Slaten as one of their first farmers to sign up with an Organic Conservation Activity Plan through the EQIP program. Plans are made to document the progress of his new venture that will benefit his family as well as the environment and community in which he lives.
The first hoop house Slaten built before seeking financial assistance for another one through the NRCS EQIP program.

Parineeti to go 'Jhalla wallah' this New Year
Actress Parineeti Chopra, who is set to add her spunk at Glitterati 2013 this New Year's eve, will dance to popular songs from her movies and she is looking forward to it
'I will be performing on my own songs like 'Jigar ka tukda', 'Jhallah wallah', 'Main pareshan' as they have done well. Arjun Kapoor is also performing the songs with me and Sanjay Shetty has choreographed it,' Parineeti told IANS.
The actors, along with Anjana Sukhani and singer Mika Singh, will jazz up the New Year's Eve for several people who will attend the Glitterati 2013 at Aamby Valley. Parineeti, who made her acting debut with 'Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl', and was later seen in 'Ishaqzaade', had also taken to the stage at the People's Choice Awards this year. Now she is upbeat about her second performance.
'I am very excited. I will be performing at Aamby Valley. Even though I have been here for three years, I haven't had a chance to go to Aamby Valley. I am very excited. Also New Year is a time when you can make more money than normal,' quipped the actress, who is Priyanka Chopra's cousin sister. Last year, Parineeti was busy shooting for 'Ishaqzaade', and so she was not able to do anything specific for New Year's eve, and she never used to anything special on the day earlier too.
'Last year I was shooting, so I didn't do anything. Before that I used to sleep early as I was working at that time,' she said. New year resolutions are not for her, said Parineeti, adding: 'I am not able to keep up with them.'

It is important to understand the procedures Villanova University has in place and how it proceeds and responds in the case of an emergency on campus.
In addition to day-to-day coverage by our 75-member Public Safety team, the University has an extensive Emergency Preparedness Plan that includes procedures to ensure a rapid response to an unanticipated emergency or threatening situation. Villanova takes all incidents affecting student, faculty, and staff safety as serious and time critical.
Villanova University has devoted significant resources to providing a safe campus and assuring the safety of our community members. Our Public Safety department is responsible for campus security and consists of approximately 75 officers who provide on-campus coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To assure the greatest breadth of coverage, the officers patrol the campus on foot, on bicycle, and in vehicles.
The Department of Public Safety employs both sworn police officers as well as non-sworn security personnel. University Police Officers have full arrest powers and several defensive weapons, including firearms. Public Safety has 23 sworn Police Officers, along with approximately 45 Security Officers. The officers are well-trained professionals, including some who are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's). The Department also works closely with both the Lower Merion and Radnor Police Departments, as well as the Delaware County Office of Emergency Services.
We encourage members of the campus community or any visitor to immediately report suspicious activity or an emergency to the Public Safety department by calling 9-4444 from an on-campus telephone or 610-519-4444 from an outside telephone or cell phone. If an emergency requires the assistance of an outside EMS, Fire, or Police agency, the Public Safety department will contact the appropriate agency as the situation dictates.
If a situation arises on or around campus that could potentially threaten the health or safety of University community members, senior officers of the University and members of Public Safety are immediately summoned as part of Villanova's crisis response procedure. This group determines the appropriate actions to be taken, using Villanova University's Emergency Preparedness Plan as its basis and guideline.
This action may include:
The University has the capability via the Wildcard system to control access to virtually all buildings and entrance gates on campus. This is an access control system, not a security system, but it can regulate what buildings and rooms cardholders may enter.
In the event of an emergency, an effective University-wide communications process is vital in order to provide the greatest safety possible for our students, faculty, and staff.
We will use all available means of communications in a crisis situation, including text messaging, telephone, the Web site, and e-mail. The University will also implement on-site personal contacts by utilizing Public Safety officers and other University staff and officials. The communications tools may include:
Villanova University developed an Emergency Guidebook to give members of the University community a ready-reference on how to respond in case of an emergency situation on or near the campus. Campus safety is a responsibility we all share. All of us play a critical role in keeping students, faculty, and staff safe on campus. Click here to view the University's Emergency Guidebook.
Villanova routinely examines the Emergency Preparedness Plan and devises measures to respond to various incidents as quickly and effectively as possible. Villanova University President, the Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, has asked the senior administration to regularly review and assess the Emergency Preparedness Plan, as well as our communication strategies to assure we have accounted and prepared for as many scenarios as possible.
In the event of an emergency on campus or off, your emotional well-being is also critically important to us. We provide full-service counseling services, as well as access to Campus Ministry staff, who are trained to provide grief counseling. If you would like further information about the specific services we make available to our students, faculty, and staff, you may find the following links helpful.

He was outside, waiting in the Midwestern cold, attempting to predict the exact route Santorum would take from the diner to his car. The goal was to capture a unique image of the candidate, but there was no way to be sure whether Santorum would walk where Cutraro was set up.
"I spent over an hour waiting outside, staking out his limo, to make one picture," Cutraro says. "It's nerve-wracking. You're putting all your chips into one situation, and it either comes together and makes an interesting, fresh image or you don't have anything."
That experience was emblematic of this stage of the presidential race, Cutraro says. For example, Tuesday was the very first day that Santorum had a Secret Service detail. Each of the remaining candidates has moved away from his grassroots origins, and gone are the days when a photographer could get an intimate, unplanned shot of someone who might one day be president. At the same time, the candidates are still getting used to the new situation and logistics may not be fully coordinated; the stage-managers are on board but their productions are still in rehearsal. "It's this weird gestation in the campaign where they're not organized enough that you can plan but also not loose enough that you can benefit from any serendipity," says Cutraro.
The photographer says that dealing with the candidates during what he identifies as their "growing pains" requires balancing the burden of getting the shots he wants — using a lighting set-up, having the help of an assistant — against the ability to be nimble. "I'm still personally trying to figure out where that sweet spot is," he says.
It also requires a lot of travel. And, as Cutraro points out, Michigan isn't exactly a small state.
But all that time on the road was put to good use. Cutraro didn't just shoot the candidates and their supporters; he captured the backdrop against which the political drama played out. Many of his photographs from Michigan have a "street-view" feel, evoking what it's like to pass through a place and soak it in. The photographer tried to identify the special Midwesternness of the landscape, the qualities that make it immediately apparent that one is not in any other place in the world.
"A sense of place and a sense of time, I've always been interested in that," the photographer says. "It should feel and look like Michigan this time of year and probably in this time in history, too."
Cutraro says he wanted to avoid familiar images of a decaying Detroit, but instead to capture a sense of Michigan that is — at least outside the orchestrated campaign events — like the land he saw through his window. "The landscape," he says, "looks like the sentiment up here."
Andrew Cutraro is a photographer based in New York City. He is represented by Redux. See more of his work here.

First Look: Sassafras Saloon Works Its Root in Hollywood
Preview brand-new spots to drink (or fresh new menu items) here.
A taxidermied bear sporting a Masonic sash and a skull and bones apron. A portrait of Frederick Douglass. Old whiskey barrels stacked here and there. And cabinets displaying all sorts of odd baubles and bric-a-brac. Wander around the new Sassafras Saloon in Hollywood, and its eclectic decor of quirky southern relics can eerily evoke an old antebellum home in the Deep South (or at least the set of a Bizarro OutKast video).
This down-south homey feeling is, quite literally, by design—an old Savannah townhouse was actually deconstructed in Georgia and then transported and resurrected within the space at Sassafras in Los Angeles. Past the fern-covered front porch, the cavernous interior boasts an open-air stage on a second floor balcony for live bands, as well as multiple fireplaces, sitting rooms, and parlors festooned with antique furniture—plenty of space to sit, sip, and soak in the dimly lit surroundings.
Besides its Southern roots, many of the bar's drinks reveal roots of another (more literal) kind. There are three different housemade ginger beers, as well as a house brewed sarsaparilla made from Sassafras root. Not only are the ginger beers used in a DIY "Build Your Own Buck" menu option (customers choose a base spirit to be mixed with their choice of Classic, Strawberry Mint, or Apple Spice ginger beer), but the sarsaparilla is used in the bar's namesake cocktail known as the Sassafras Royale—a rye-spiked, deconstructed root beer float.
Working this root voodoo behind the bar are head bartender Aaron Stepka, and bar manager Jared Mort (also of Oldfields and La Cuevita).
"We wanted every drink on our menu to have something that we made by hand," said Mort. "And we wanted to develop cocktails that we thought were evocative of familiar Southern flavors."
These "familiar Southern flavors" are embodied by the peaches, pecans, and molasses that lace some of Sassafras' house cocktails such as the Grilled Peach Punch, Toasted Pecan Julep, and Blackstrap Old Fashioned.
In addition, Sassafras also offers an ambitious program of barrel-aged cocktails that features seven "classic" drinks (such as the Mai Tai, Sazerac, and Manhattan) that are mixed in batches and poured into oak barrels for aging.
"We start with cocktails that, traditionally, may have some very harsh flavors. Aging these cocktails in barrels mellows out those flavors," explained Mort. "After they go in barrels, we taste the cocktails on a regular basis until we decide that they have picked up enough oakiness and spice. But if it goes for too long, the drink will just taste like a toothpick. So when we think it reaches the right point, we immediately transfer the booze into bottles."
To showcase these bottles of barrel-aged cocktails, another unique piece of decor is utilized. Hanging above the bar, within arm's reach of the barkeep, is an ever-rotating dry cleaning carousel. But instead of hanging laundry, the carousel was repurposed as a slowly moving merry-go-round for Sassafras' barrel-aged bounty.
When a barrel-aged cocktail is ordered, the bartender simply reaches up overhead, unhooks the appropriately labeled bottle, and dispenses the tipple as needed.
"Sassafras is a place where people can come and enjoy some really unique cocktails and flavor profiles that have taken a lot of time and work to develop," said Mort. "I think these flavors and combinations can remind people of the South, and provide some kind of new nostalgia."

Luis Suarez holds his mouth as Giorgio Chiellini protests in the background. Photo: APWorld football's governing body FIFA has acted swiftly to ban rogue Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez for nine international matches and from any football-related activity for four months.
Suarez brought international opprobrium on himself when he bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini in Uruguay's 1-0 win over the Azzuri on Tuesday.
The victory saw La Celeste through to the knockout round of the World Cup, where they will face Colombia on Saturday night, while Italy were sent home as a result of the loss.
The ban will also mean that Suarez once again misses several matches at the start of Liverpool's next Premier League campaign.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee said in a statement that Suarez was guilty of 'unsporting conduct towards another player'.
"The player Luis Suarez is to be suspended for nine (9) official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014. The remaining match suspensions shall be served in Uruguay's next FIFA World Cup match(es), as long as the team qualifies, and/or in the representative team's subsequent official matches…."
Bite marks: Italy's Giorgio Chiellini shows where he was bitten by Uruguay's Luis Suarez. Photo: Reuters
"The player Luis Suarez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months"
"A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suarez … the player Luis Suarez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban. The player Luis Suarez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension".
"Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field.
In addition, Suarez has been fined 100,000 Swiss Francs ($118,876).
"The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez's guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the (disciplinary) Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated," said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
The Uruguayan FA will appeal against the ruling, but Suarez cannot play even if a challenge is lodged. The imposition of the fine could be delayed pending the appeal.
Suarez is one of the most gifted players in world football, scoring 31 league goals in 33 games for Liverpool last season.
He returned from a month on the sidelines with an injury to score twice in Uruguay's 2-1 win over England last week, transforming the team's World Cup which began with a loss to Costa Rica in a game Suarez missed through injury.
But he is also one of the game's most troubled players and has been banned twice previously for biting opponents.
Former Brazil striker Ronaldo had no sympathy.
"Football must set an example and show examples of good players," he told reporters. "People who are out of line must be punished.
"If my little children bit me, they are sent to the dark room with the big bad wolf. This is football's equivalent."
Suarez will not be able to train or attend matches with Liverpool until late October, a huge blow to their domestic and European ambitions.
"Liverpool Football Club will wait until we have seen and had time to review the FIFA Disciplinary Committee report before making any further comment," Liverpool chief executive officer Ian Ayre said on the club's website.
Adidas, who have used Suarez in a frontline promotion role in recent months, said it would stop using him in adverts for the rest of the World Cup.
"Adidas fully backs FIFA's decision," a spokeswoman said. "We do not accept the recent behaviour of Luis Suarez and shall remind him of the high standards we expect of our players.
"We have no plan to use Suarez for any other marketing activities during the 2014 FIFA World Cup."

Hello there! Following on from last week's magic trick, here is another to totally dazzle your friends and family!
What you need:
A long sleeved shirt and a coin.
You need to wear a long sleeved shirt to do this magic trick.
Hold one arm vertically, bent at the elbow, palm facing outward, hand up level with your face (as if you are waving 'hello'). Carefully place the coin into your sleeve, so that it sits just at your elbow. The long sleeved shirt should hold it in place. Practice dropping your hand down so that the coin slides out of your sleeve and you catch it.
The trick:
Tell your audience that you will now make a coin magically appear in your palm. First show them your empty palm, held up carefully so that your coin stays in place in your sleeve. Point to both empty hands. Show the audience you have absolutely nothing hidden in either of your hands.
Use your free hand (the one that won't be catching the coin) to do some magic 'abracadabra' flourishes to distract everyone. As you say, 'abracadabra' drop your palm down, facing backwards and the coin should slip out of your sleeve and into your palm.
Quickly bring your palm back up and show everyone how a coin has magically appeared into your hand.
– Practice makes perfect. Make sure you practice catching the coin before you do it in front of an audience!

It wasn't part of the script.
Kathy Ireland stepped out from behind the lectern. She took the microphone with her. Was this going to be one of those defining moments when years from now people would still say that was "the Ireland at NEIT episode?" What might the woman who appeared in 13 consecutive Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues – and who is also an actress, author and chair, CEO and chief designer of Kathy Ireland Worldwide – do?
Was she going to model the cape that moments before had been draped around her neck as she received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree Sunday at New England Institute of Technology's commencement ceremony at the Rhode Island Convention Center? Might she do something even more daring?
Whatever was going to happen, the news photographers weren't going to miss it. They trained their telephoto lenses on Ireland. The 1,175 grads and their families and friends craned their necks to see the stage and the screens showing Ireland bigger than life. Ireland had everyone's attention. She's good at grabbing attention. She twisted to demonstrate how she would model a swimsuit.

Over the past few months I've been the recipient of notable new work by musicians who are aware of my love of popular music. Among these recordings are the self-titled extended play disc by singer/songwriter/trumpeter Pez Wilson. The new disc is a follow-up to Pez's debut on "Waveland," but features a stripped-down sound and jazzy style that distinguishes it from its predecessor.
It sounds to me like Pez has achieved some kind of a breakthrough. The new disc is a joyous wonder. Pez has posted the audio on his site. Downloads of both "Waveland" and "Pez Wilson" are available on iTunes. "Pez Wilson" is also available by download at the link via Amazon.
Our old friend Steve Dobrogosz is a Power Line reader, an American expatriate living in Sweden, and a composer of multifarious talents. His new recording with the ravishing Anna Christopherson is "Rivertime," a compact disc on which Steve composed all the numbers and provided the piano accompaniment. "Rivertime" follows up on Steve and Anna's "It's Always You." I've been listening to the new disc with admiration over the past several months. Steve is featuring the audio of one of the disc's knockouts ("Starlit") as the song of the month at his site. The video of "Rivertime" is below.
Steve's work in the popular vein on "Rivertime" reflects his affinity for the Gershwin approach to crafting a tune. He knows the Lennon/McCartney songbook by heart, and in the last ten years has enjoyed Shania Twain's music more than anyone else's. When describing his inspiration for his writing in the pop vein, he also adds Beethoven, "depending on one's definition of popular music…" Steve's work with Anna is available on iTunes in addition to other of Steve's work.
Jude is an awersomely talented singer/songwriter. He has an interesting personal story and an impressive body of work carried on iTunes. He has established a following in Europe, where he may be somewhat better known than he is in the United States. Below Jude performs "Love, Love, Love," which also appears in a higher quality video on his site. Key line: "I don't believe what the world wants me to."
"Love, Love, Love" is off Jude's 2006 disc "Redemption." "Redemption" and "Sarah" (which topped CDBaby's online chart for months and remains one of its all time bestselling discs) represent Jude's newer work, though "Cuba" (also available here via CDBaby) is Jude's most recent disc, collecting early outtakes. He has posted the audio of the song "Cuba" on his site together with another song off the disc.
I don't hear a political bent to the songs on "Cuba," which are terrific. The song "Cuba" itself tells the story of Jude's unhappy experience recording "King of Yesterday." But Jude dedicates the songs on "Cuba" to the people of Cuba with an unusual imprecation coming from an American artist: "May they soon be free!"
Yesterday Jude posted "Coming out to a whole new world" at Big Hollywood. It's a compelling statement of purpose by an artist who deserves to be heard.

This is a response to �Requiring a picture ID to vote should not prevent legitimate voters� by Brenda Bradshaw on March 10.
In November 2011, I telephoned the N.C. Board of Elections in Raleigh, requesting documentation on the number of suspected fraud cases in N.C. by year starting in 2000 through 2010. In response to my inquiry, I received a chart listing types of voter fraud, the number of cases referred to respective district attorney�s office by type for each year 2000 through 2010.
Additionally, the letter related �the State Board of Elections, to the greatest extent permitted by resources, investigates all allegations of voter fraud. Most allegations prove to be unfounded, lack criminal intent, or cannot be substantiated; however, we refer matters to the appropriate district attorney�s office for their consideration.� This is, incidentally, consistent with a five-year voter fraud study, 2000 through 2007, conducted by the US Department of Justice, President George W. Bush Administration.
Conclusion: There were 86 suspected fraud cases found out of 300 million votes cast. FACT: There is no substantiated evidence that voter fraud has compromised the integrity of our election process, state or national.
Did you hear the N.C. Speaker of the House, Thom Tillis, Republican, on NPR March 18 declare, in effect, the state of N.C. has no problem with voter fraud? However, he said N.C. would pass a voter ID law. Mr. Tillis stated the principal reason for passing voter ID requirement was to restore voters� confidence in government.
Prior to the 2008 election of President Obama, only two states, Indiana and Georgia required voter ID. After the election, Republicans contemplated strategies to ensure victories, in particular, the Presidency, in 2012. In a nutshell, they realized many Democrats did not have driver�s license or state ID. Hence, GOP strategy: Require state voter ID in expectation of suppressing enough votes in key swing states to win especially the presidential election. Case in point, you recall in 2011 a Pennsylvania lawmaker who said voter ID, done; this should ensure Romney wins Pennsylvania. Republican controlled states tried to pass voter ID law; some succeeded. The plan was so transparent; yet, the GOP was unrelenting in their efforts. Just a little commentary to illustrate the importance of relying on facts.
I�ll briefly respond specifically to Brenda Bradshaw�s questions and comments. Why would voter ID law disenfranchise Democratic voters only? Response: Quite likely other affiliations would be affected also; but, to a lesser degree. The people most impacted by voter ID requirement are the elderly, the young, minorities (25 percent Blacks, 16 percent Hispanics don�t have ID) and the low income.
Are Democratic voters all poorer than Republicans? Heck, no! There are plenty of poor Republicans. I know hundreds of them.
Is it only Democratic voters who may have difficulty getting voter ID? Response: No. Other affiliations could have trouble particularly the elderly and the low income.
I don�t believe voter fraud is as trifling as Democrats think. Response: Voter fraud is a felony. Democrats as well as other responsible people believe the fairness and integrity of the election process are most important.
We have millions of illegal immigrants who would not hesitate to vote if a picture ID were not required. Response: Doubtful. Mere supposition with no credible basis. Per statistics, N.C. Board of Elections, 2000-2010 data, 46 non-citizen voter registration/voting suspected fraud cases referred to DA�s office.
Media recently reported Ohio woman voted about 8 to 9 times. Do you think that is an isolated incident? Yes, most likely. Voter ID is supposed to prevent vote impersonation. Per statistics, N.C. Board of Elections, 2000-2010 data, 4 cases of voting double suspected fraud cases were referred to DA�s office.
The only truly disenfranchised are the men and women in the military. Response: if registered to vote, military men and women should have no problem voting.
It is essential we seek the truth on the many issues of today. The truth dispels the clouds of ignorance, prejudice, discrimination and other barriers to freedom, justice and compassion.
Groves is a resident of Gastonia.

There are four places which are important and the ultimate pilgrimages for Buddhists. There is his birthplace which is Lumbini in Nepal, his death place at Kushinigar, India, his first sermon at Sarnath, Varanasi (more about this in later blog) and the place where he sat under a tree for a bit, as steady as a tampon, before attaining enlightenment at Bodh Gaya in the lawless state of Bihar. (lawless today that is). The exact spot where he did this is now a shrine to Buddhists and spiritual seekers worldwide wanting to visit the tree where he battled off Mara. It of course is not the original tree but a descendant of it, but the spot is still the spot.
Scholars have often debated what Mara is. It is commonly known as a demon who came to tempt Buddha back into worldly attachments, copied some 500 years later by Bible writers when their own version of Mara, S*tan, similarly tempted Jesus in the wilderness. The difference in these stories is that the Buddhist one is known and understood to be symbolic. Well the spot at Bodh Gaya is where that all happened though I think Mara was not the worst thing for Mr B, it must have been the mosquitoes because they seem to like it here better than anywhere else in India. One can only assume that the Buddha, when he eventually got up, was rather spotty.
It's not an easy place to get to, Bodh Gaya. We had to grab an internal flight to Patna which at first experience reminded me of Philip Pullman's description of Hell in 'His Dark Materials'. We stayed overnight at one of Patna's better hotels – comparable to a bad Travelodge that has been taken over by a biker gang. We were on the top floor but luckily we were still able to hear, as if it was happening in the en-siute bathroom, the Indian rave going on in the function room three floors below. And this was a Wednesday!
Leaving in the morning, we tested our patience at the railway station to try to get a train to Gaya, 5 hours away. We had two hours to wait and became a curiosity to all other travellers because one guy could speak English and wanted to know everything about us. Our answers were translated to the 600 people circling us at a distance of 6 inches. When the train came in, some kids ran in and jumped on to seats and said they were for us – and a pleasurable journey was had.
Once at Gaya though, things got a bit scary. We needed to find a tuk tuk to take us the remaining 12 miles to Bodh Gaya itself and it was then that three young lads, doing a credible impression of a pack of hyenas, began stalking Alison, right on her tail. I nodded to my son James that we have a problem and we turned and faced them off. I gave them my best show of teeth and emitted a little growl and they backed off. This was noticed by approximately 10,000 other locals and then I remembered, from all the travel guides, that the state of Bihar should be avoided, if at all possible. I have learned, in my life, three tactics to ward off violence – the most drastic and risky being an actual teeth bearing growl. The other two are to either suddenly become very gay and very camp (people say I'm *too* good at this) or to cock one's head, point randomly into the sky and begin slobbering. It is my experience that guys don't generally hit you if you adopt one of these.
However, this incident marred our arrival into Bodh Gaya – which was met by a guy riding alongside our tuk tuk on a motorbike offering accommodation for only £3.50 a room per night. In exhaustion we instructed the tt driver to follow him and so began what would turn out to be the worst sleep or more accurately wake I've ever had. Apart from the room being bereft of air conditioning – just a wobbly ceiling fan -our bedrooms were a meeting place, if not the meeting place for mosquitoes, the likes of which I've never seen, the new mattresses were bedecked with plastic sheets, so when the power goes out, which is about every hour, the ceiling fan stops, the 90 degree heat mingles with the plastic sheet and the mozzies come out to play, and as there is no power, you can only hear them, and hear them everywhere – and when the power does eventually come back on you catch yourself in the mirror, soaked with sweat doing a wonderful impersonation of a lunatic with rickets repeating words like 'for fucks sake' and 'bastard's at an unacceptable volume.
The next morning, bleary eyed, wandering around the town it becomes very obvious that Bodh Gaya is a Buddhist theme park. Each country has it's own monastery, even China, vying to be the most impressive.
It was so much like the Epcot Centre only with added cows and stray dogs. The Tibetans are currently constructing one which rivals a football stadium.
We visited several and marveled at the architecture and artifacts, we visited the Big Buddha statue before going to the Mahabodhi Temple, where the tree is.
Security was tight as there had been a bomb explode not too long ago but once inside the grounds, it was all very impressive. Shoes off, we headed for the tree. Fenced off, overhanging a courtyard in front of the temple, there it was, or there the spot was, and we sat with many others contemplating the significance of the spot and watching monks trying to out-monk each other with the best meditation posture, and then it happened – a gust of wind! And so began the best entertainment so far. Each gust dislodged a few leaves, and fortuitously one fell near my feet, but looking up, I witnessed Buddhist mayhem. When the leaves came to the ground the monks didn't actually fight, but 'withdrew', when another had beaten them to a leaf. It was akin to a rock idol throwing plectrums into a crowd. One tattooed Burmese monk had a whole bag.
I think they were learning about attachment.
There was also a meditation garden which you had to pay admission to enter if you didn't intend to meditate but it was free if you were to meditate or, I guess, pretend to. The irony of this was not lost on me.
That evening on the street we met some lovely teenagers who spoke good English who walked with us for an hour or so and couldn't grasp that most English people can't stand cricket. They asked me to buy them a football and I did and they are now facebook friends (Hi guys!)
But it was time to arrange transport to get to Varanasi – the jewel in India's crown and on inquiring I was whisked away on the back of a motorbike to a man who knows a man who can – and Varanasi is a whole new story

For nearly 30 years, marine ecologist Nancy Rabalais has studied the ocean "dead zones" that occur in the Gulf of Mexico and other coastal systems. By collaborating with researchers from other fields, Rabalais has increased our understanding of these hypoxic zones — areas of water with low levels of dissolved oxygen — and how they can be mitigated.
Her work, long pushed to the side by industry, has now been recognized: the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation this week named her one of the 23 recipients of this year's MacArthur Fellowships. Each fellow will receive $50,000 over the next five years that they can spend in any way they desire to "pursue their own creative, intellectual and professional inclinations," according to the foundation's website.
Commonly known as the "MacArthur Genius" awards, the fellowships honor the "talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction." Fellows must show exceptional creativity and promise for important future advances that would benefit from the fellowship.
"It's a huge honor," the 62-year-old Rabalais told The Advocate, a newspaper in her home state of Louisiana. "I've been in awe of these people and what they've accomplished. I never thought I'd get one."
Rabalais, executive director and professor of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, told the paper she will put the MacArthur grant toward her continuing research into ocean dead zones, a necessary move since "my research funds are getting pretty tight," she said.
The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is the second-largest man-made dead zone in the world, a situation created by agricultural fertilizer runoff. The water in these zones becomes inhospitable, either killing fish and crabs or sending them into other territories.
Rabalais has been a frequent speaker about the dangers of hypoxic zones, even testifying at congressional hearings. Although her work was dismissed by fertilizer manufacturers and others for many years, it is now widely accepted, according to Mark Davis, senior research fellow and director of the Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy at Tulane University.
The ecologist, who has also been studying the effect of oil-eating bacteria used after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, suggest that the MacArthur grant recognizes her persistence over the past 30 years.
Rabalais discusses her work in this MacArthur Foundation-produced video:

The Surprise Bargain
A Jew of substantial means was looking for a home in Bnei Brak with more room than his current location. When he heard about a particular apartment in a desirable area he quickly went to visit its owner.
When the seller stated his asking price of $200,000 the prospective buyer, who expected it to be closer to $300,000, was surprised. Rather than jump at this opportunity to get a real bargain he asked the seller why he was selling at such a low price. The answer was that he had $200,000 worth of pressing debts and had been advised by his local rabbi to sell his home at a price that would quickly draw a buyer so that he could settle his debts.
The buyer excused himself and went to the above-mentioned rabbi to verify the story he had just heard. He then returned to the seller and plunked down $200,000 in cash. He informed the seller that he refused to allow him to lose so much money because of his desperate situation and was therefore lending him the money to pay his debts and to enable him to sell his apartment at its full value.
By thus passing up the opportunity to gain a financial bargain he succeeded in gaining a bargain of a mitzvah of helping a fellow Jew.

Could this be the best superhero mashup around? Or do the Puerto Ricans know something about Joss Whedon's new Avengers movie that we don't? According to Reddit, this is an Avengers t-shirt being sold on the streets of Puerto Rico. Blending the bat, the spider and the giant blue cat from Avatar makes this the very best comic book t-shirt we've ever seen. Especially because the Na'vi looks like he's sitting on his litter box.

2 TDs passing and 118 yards rushing. Take a tip from Dressel!
My team is no scoring dynamo but I really have had a lot of bad luck against me this year. My PA is almost 100 points more than anyone else. Dressel has scored less points than me and is 5-5. I wouldn't think the lack of a real receiving core would hurt me as much as it has and I don't know too many teams with AP and MJD that would be 1-9.
Good game man. I thought you had it for sure on Sunday, but never count a guy down when he's got Gronkowski yet to play. Sorry to bust your undefeated season, but cheer up - you're still going to end up in first place for the playoffs!
Oh, great game! TBH, I figured it was going to be either you or Patrick who was going to beat me. When I saw that my kicker was out for the game I knew I was losing. I'm actually surprised that I only lost by that little!
Nice game this week Ruiner. Hope to see the same thing again this weekend.

TOWSON, Md. – Towson Lacrosse (7-2, 1-0 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)) held Delaware (5-4, 0-2 CAA) scoreless for over 30 minutes en route to an 11-8 comeback win over the Hens on Saturday evening at Unitas Stadium.
After Delaware ended the first quarter with a 5-1 lead, the Hens increased their advantage to 8-4 just 1:18 before halftime on an unassisted goal from Beau Jones. But that was UD's last tally of the evening as Towson outscored Delaware 7-0 over the final two periods.
Eight Tigers scored in the victory. Junior co-captain Greg Cuccinello, freshman Ryan Drenner and sophomore Ben McCarty each tallied two goals. Junior Justin Mabus posted a career-high five points on one goal and a career-best four assists. Steve DeLargy and Jeff Heath each had two goals for UD.
"All credit goes to Delaware; they came out firing at the start," said Head Coach Shawn Nadelen. "We weren't as focused as we should have been. Obviously it was a huge, huge turnaround for our guys in the second half and I couldn't be more pleased and proud of our team."
Towson started the game flat, while Delaware came out charging. The Hens scored the first five goals of the game before Mabus found the back of the net at 4:49 in the first quarter. He assisted senior Thomas DeNapoli's extra-man goal at the start of the second quarter when UD was called for pushing.
Delaware stayed out in front of the Tigers, extending its lead to 7-2 on a goal from Tom Holland at 6:33 in the second frame. Drenner and Cuccinello scored back-to-back goals at 4:23 and 3:14, respectively, before Jones posted UD's last goal of the night.
During the break Towson shook off its lethargy and stepped up its defense, limiting the Blue Hens to six total shots in the second half.
"I don't think we shot that well," said Cuccinello, of the first half. "What really got us going in the second half was being a man down [after a team penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct] and getting the stop. As an offense, we draw a lot of confidence from our defense. We kept getting stop after stop. We knew that if we kept shooting, they'd fall eventually."
Freshman Joe Seider, McCarty and Cuccinello each scored in the third quarter before senior Max Siskindevened the game at 8-8 at 1:54 in the third. Siskind picked up an uncontrolled Delaware save and scored falling down from point-blank range. It was his team-leading fourth EMO goal of the season. McCarty notched the game winner at 10:25 in the fourth.
Next up, Towson travels to Hofstra on Saturday, March 29 for a 7 p.m. face-off.
NOTES: Towson is now 10-3 all time in CAA season openers … Towson and Delaware have now played six straight times in the Tigers' CAA opener and Towson has a 5-2 overall record against the Hens in league openers … 32 games between TU and UD have been decided by three goals or less … Towson is 20-12 in those match ups.

This release is mostly bug-fixes, so I think this version will be quite stable.
---- Added full support for 64-bit Windows and Linux
To build the Linux version, use the "make" command to compile the source code into binaries and copy the binaries to the "tools" folder.
Here is the list of how Linux version is different from the Windows version:
1) There is no '-estimate' option. Estimate mode is on by default. Use '-noestimate' to turn off the estimate mode.
2) The number of CPU threads cannot be automatically detected. The user should always specify '-threads #' through command line, otherwise it's default to 1 thread.
3) hlcsg always assumes the .map file is exported with UTF-8 encoding. So there's no need to convert the game_text message into UTF-8 encoding, so the '-notextconvert' option is removed.
4) Linux doesn't support Windows console window, so the '-console #' is removed.
5) ripent doesn't have '-pause' option.
6) Log files will use Linux new-line character instead of Windows new-line character.
The tools has been tested on 64-bit RedHat Linux, but it's possible that it cannot run on certain Linux or certain machines. The tools will try to detect certain cases and display errors such as "internal error: CalcFaceExtents_test failed".
---- When 'zhlt_embedlightmap' is set to 1, you can use 'zhlt_embedlightmapresolution' to lower the resolution of the new textures and reduce the space used.
For example, set 'zhlt_embedlightmapresolution' to 4 will make the generated textures 4x blurrer(in each direction) than the original texture.
Usually 4 is a good value. Other available values are 1(default), 2, 4, 8, 16.
---- hlcsg will now report the bad brush before hlrad run into the "Texture axis perpendicular" and "Bad surface extents" errors.
---- Now the mapper can specify the brush to display when two brushes have overlapping faces in the same plane.
To do this, first make sure the two brushes are in the same detail level. Then in the properties of func_detail, give them different values of 'zhlt_coplanarpriority'("Priority when faces overlap").
---- Added an option to enable the old look of texlights.
This is to solve a very specific light bleeding problem as shown in the picture. The problem occurs when a thin texlight is connected to the middle of a wall.
The light on the left is the default one which has the bleeding problem.
The light on the right is set to have a texlight gap of width 12.0, which means to push the light away from the surface for 12.0 texture pixels.
To add the gap, set the value of '_texlightgap'("Dark gap in front of texlight") in the properties of light_surface entity. Alternatively, you can set it globally with hlrad parameter '-texlightgap #'.
---- Fixed two potential bugs in zhlt_embedlightmap
---- Fixed one potential bug in hlbsp FixBrinks
---- Fixed an issue that makes hlrad slow when opaque entities with transparency or toggleable shadow are used on a large scale.
---- Fixed an issue in the bounced light that occasionally cause the light on one patch to bleed too far.

Statement by the NATO Secretary General on events in Egypt
I welcome President Mubarak's decision. I have consistently called for a speedy, orderly and peaceful transition to democracy, respecting the legitimate aspirations of the people of Egypt.
In the long run, no society can neglect the will of the people. Democracy means much more than majority rule -- it also means respect for individual freedom, for minorities, human rights and the rule of law. These are the values on which our Alliance is based and the values we encourage our partners to respect. Egypt is a valued partner in our Mediterranean Dialogue and a pivotal country in the region. I am confident Egypt will continue to be a force for stability and security.

UFC Plans To Sue Individuals, Despite The Cost Being More Than Any 'Loss'
from the someone-want-to-give-them-a-recap-how-that-worked-for-the-RIAA deptThere's something that just drives some executives nuts about the idea that someone might access their content "without paying" directly for it. We saw this last year when music industry execs kept saying they had to stop going to war against consumers, but immediately followed that up by saying that none of that mattered if they couldn't stomp out "piracy." It's as if the second any sort of unauthorized use occurs, the entire "cost-benefit" analysis goes out the window. If it's costing you more to try to stop unauthorized access, and it's not working, and there are ways to embrace it that makes you more money, the solution should be simple: you stop worrying and start embracing.
Apparently that message hasn't gotten through to the folks who own Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Perhaps it's not too surprising that such a group's only reaction is to fight, but when they even admit that fighting unauthorized access will cost more than any "losses," you have to wonder how any executive at the company keeps his job. That's a recipe for getting fired: "Hey, I'm going to undertake an action that will cost us more than not taking this action -- oh, and it's likely to piss off a bunch of our biggest fans as well."
This isn't a huge shock. Last month, a UFC exec was at that Judiciary Committee hearing about unauthorized access to live streaming sporting events, and played the role of the RIAA/MPAA lobbyists claiming "them stealers are destroying our business." Given that, it's no surprise that UFC is gearing up to go after both sites like Justin.tv and the individuals themselves. Apparently, UFC's fight-first, think-later execs haven't noticed how badly similar plans have backfired. Most of the streaming websites have pretty strong DMCA safe harbor protections, and suing users hasn't worked out particularly well for the RIAA. Furthermore, pissing off your fans? Yeah, not such a hot move.
Meanwhile, the Torrentfreak article above does a really nice job breaking down just how many people willingly pay huge sums to watch UFC events on Pay-Per-View, and how that number keeps on growing. There was apparently a dip in a recent fight, but TF notes that it probably had more to do with one of the headlining fighters having to back out. What does become clear is that UFC has no problem convincing huge numbers of people to pay up huge amounts to watch its events. Pissing off a lot of fans with ridiculous lawsuits doesn't make anyone more likely to buy.
Hell, even Joe Rogan, the comedian (and notorious hater of "joke stealers") who also acts as commentator for UFC seems to think this is a bad idea, saying: "I think that kind of stifles innovation. It stifles the direction the internet is going. I like things being out there. I think people are always going to buy UFC pay-per-views. You're going to get a much better experience watching it on your television than all stretched out looking fuzzy and pixilated. They're trying to protect their money, but the internet is a strange animal."

He is trying to climb back to power via the Treaty of Rome, and put Britain under government from Brussels for ever. In 1970 Mr Heath solemnly promised that he would not take Britain into the Common Market without the full-hearted consent of the British people. He broke his pledged word then, and he now says he will not accept a 'No' vote on Thursday. Heath promised more jobs and higher living standards inside the EEC. These promises were all broken, and he now tells us we are so poor we cannot come out; beggars can't be chooses. That is false, too. Heath's leadership has been a total disaster for the British people. The Tory Party threw him out.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
