MELBOURNE, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Jeremy Chardy and Andreas Seppi posted five-set upset wins Saturday in third-round play of the Australian Open.
Chardy eliminated sixth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (3-7). Del Potro is the first Top 10 player on the men's side to lose as the tournament reaches the Round of 16.
Chardy fought off four break points in building 2-0 set lead before del Potro started his comeback. His only breaks of the match -- one in each the third and fourth sets -- allowed him to pull even at 2-2 but Chardy had a break in the fifth game of the third set and held on from there for the win in 3 hours, 45 minutes.
Seppi, the 21st seed, ousted No. 12 Marin Cilic 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 with five of his nine breaks coming in the last two sets. Their match lasted more than 3 1/2 hours.
The fourth round ended early Sunday in Melbourne as 14th-seeded Gilles Simon escaped with a 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 1-6, 8-6 decision over Gael Monfils. Simon had a break to get to 5-4 of the fifth set but Monfils broke back -- his ninth of the match -- to even the score.
Simon, though, posted a 13th game break and held from there to win the match in 4 hours, 43 minutes. The final set took 94 minutes.
Second-seeded Roger Federer and No. 3 Andy Murray each advanced to the fourth round with straight-set wins. Federer topped local favorite Bernard Tomic 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 6-1. Federer faced one break point in the match and only four so far in the tournament.
Murray beat Ricardas Berankis 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 despite dropping serve once in each set. Murray, however, had two breaks of his own in each set.
Also Saturday, seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga stopped Blaz Kavcic 6-2, 6-1, 6-4; No. 9-seeded Richard Gasquet got by Ivan Dodig 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 6-0; and 13th-seeded Milos Raonic defeated 17th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 6-4.
Federer draws Raonic while Murray is to play Simon in the fourth round. Chardy and Seppi also play in Murray's quarter of the draw with Tsonga and Gasquet squaring off in Federer's section.

House Approves Delay in Web Radio Royalty Talks
The House on Tuesday unanimously approved a bill that gives Internet radio stations and rights holders more time to agree on royalty payments.
The Webcasters Settlement Act of 2009 gives both sides 30 extra days from the date of enactment to hash out acceptable terms.
The bill amends a bill President Bush signed into law in October 2008 that says Congress must honor any royalty rate agreement reached between online radio stations and copyright holders. That bill took the decision out of the hands of the government-run Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) and gave both sides until Feb. 15, 2009 to come up with a royalty rate agreement - a deadline that came and went without a deal.
The debate dates back to 2007 when the CRB issued royalty rates that Internet radio stations like Pandora argued would put it out of business. The two sides have been battling it out ever since.
The bill now moves to the Senate.Originally posted to AppScout.

OROVILLE — Throughout their increasingly impressive season, the Pleasant Valley High boys soccer team has forcefully racked up victories with aggressive, stingy midfield play, turning massive possession advantages into chances and the goals that tend to come with it.
Lately, the Vikings have found the going much easier at the top of their formation, and that was the case again on Thursday afternoon in an 8-1 overwhelming of Las Plumas at Harrison Stadium.
Porter Sillars scored twice, Ian Melton had a first-minute goal and a pair of assists and PV (14-1-1, 7-0 Eastern Athletic League) bagged four goals in each half, outmatching the Thunderbirds (1-8-1, 1-4-1) from the opening kickoff.
PV performed in its usual role of aggressor, winning first and second balls in the midfield, lording over possession and consistently playing its formidable front line through for goal opportunities. The Vikings' first goal, a neat left-footed flick from Melton that capitalized on a botched clearance, was a product of hustle and grit; everything else for PV afterward was aesthetic, smart and lethal.
"We were able to connect and combine on a lot of passes and get behind the defense. It's great for everyone," Melton said. "We were able to do what we wanted with the ball and conduct the game the way we like. We were able to work on things to get ready for the bigger games."
Surely, the Vikings are playoff-bound and an early favorite to contend for the Northern Section title, now having outscored opponents 68-7. PV got its second goal in the 34th minute when Sillars calmly slotted home to the far post after Melton played him through the left side of LP's back line. A minute later, Melton set up Hernan Rodriguez on a dazzling three-touch series of short passes that started with Sillars. He crossed over to Melton, who poked it forward for Rodriguez in space, all alone for the third PV goal. And, just two minutes later, Adrienne Jauregui found himself with a clear look when Rodriguez's shot wasn't handled in goal, and Jauregui got it right as he booted it home.
It was surely delightful viewing for the objective audience. But even PV coach Mike Vought was impressed with his attackers.
"They do things I never trained them to do. They call it the beautiful game for a reason, and right now we've been fun to watch for a few games," Vought said. "I hate to say they're playing above their heads — I don't think they are — but they're really good right now."
Sillars made it 5-0 early in the second half, when the Vikings were playing with the belligerent wind howling through Harrison. His try at a cross to the box from the left wing instead hung up in the air and curled into the net. Just a minute later, Jauregui added his second goal, and strikes from Daniel Rodriguez and Brandon Sauceda rounded out the scoring for PV.
"If we're lucky enough to get the second and third goals fairly early, in our mind, that's game," Vought said. "I hate to ever blame a weather phenomenon, but wind can really affect a soccer game. We dealt with it well, got some goals and everything went our way."
The Thunderbirds got one back in the 74th minute, when Humberto Garcia got loose and neatly tucked in a low roller to the far post on a tough angle to get LP on the board. It broke up PV's clean sheet, though it was surely cold comfort for the hosts, who were chasing the game from literally the first minute.
"We picked it up and started playing better and putting some goals away," Sillars said. "I'd like to thank all my teammates for working hard and getting the win."

The American Society of Biological Chemists (ASBC) was founded on December 26th, 1906 at a meeting organized in New York City by John Jacob Abel of the Johns Hopkins University. The meeting was attended by 28 other biochemists, many of whom had participated in the launch of the Journal of Biological Chemistry in the previous year, and who were subsequently joined by an additional 52 "charter" members. The roots of the Society were in the American Physiological Society, which had been formed some 20 years earlier, and, prior to the founding of the ASBC, had provided the principal forum for the dissemination of American research on the chemical aspects of biology. Indeed, it was the sense, as most strongly espoused by Abel, that this outlet was no longer adequate to serve the rapidly growing experimentation in this area, which led directly to the creation of the ASBC. From this modest group of 81 scientists from North America, the Society (now called the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) has grown into one of the most important learned scientific societies with over 12,000 members from around the world.
History Book Signing:Charles Hancock,Ralph Bradshaw,Nicole Kresge
Since its founding, the Society has numbered in its ranks (and still does) an impressive cadre of scientists, who have often given freely of their time to promote and foster various Society activities that have in turn helped to catalyze the extraordinary advances in molecular bioscience in the 20th century. The histories of the Society, its journals, and its members are rich with facts and stories that describe these advances, particularly in the past century. This portion of the Society web site will be devoted to displaying such information. Members and non-members alike are encouraged to contact Angela Hopp, (email@example.com) or Ralph A. Bradshaw, Society Historian (email@example.com) if they have material of interest to this topic they would like to share.

We're deep in soup weather, friends. I see you all out there rocking your mushroom barleys and your tomato bisques. But let me get you to add Broccoli Apple Soup to your winter repertoire.
I am just going to tell you with a slightly sad look on my face that there were skeptics out there in the world about the potential pleasures of broccoli and apples together. I am not going to name any names, but one of them seems to believe that all her Le Creuset pots need to be a uniform color. That's all I'll say about that.
I sort of understand. It's not such an orthodox fruit and vegetable marriage. The key to this is the aggressive use of your immersion blender, to get a nice smooth texture and proper flavor meld, and a delicious weeknight dinner will be at the ready.
I began by quickly whipping up Easy Everyday Vegetable Stock, which really takes less than an hour, including chopping, because unlike with protein stocks, you do not want a lengthy cook. You can use commercial veggie stock, no problem, but as I tell my 12-year-old about wearing a camisole under that shirt, "It will be better if you do it my way!"
Next, you're cutting up your broccoli, finding it hard to believe that you are going to cook the stalks. You are. It's fine. Cut your apples and onion too. Once those hit the pan together in that butter, it will smell vaguely interesting, but not something that you will immediately recognize as fabulous.
Next come the broccoli stalks. You're still in the weird stage. But once you add that broth and that gets to simmering, your kitchen windows will start to fog and a warm scent will float around you.
You add the broccoli florets last, and BlueKaleRoad suggests you cook them for five more minutes, but I say three.
Here comes your blender. You will be tempted to take it easy, giving the arm a rest and thus leaving a chunk of broccoli here or there, but I really must tell you to take your time, get this whole thing really smooth. I put on a Carrie Underwood album while I blended. You can do whatever you want. All I know is at the end of the process you will have this incredibly hearty, warm dish with this wonderful sweet undertone, kind of like silk stockings under your Hunter boots. My husband, a known soup hater, could not wait to dip more crusty bread into this soup.
Oh PS I guess you can puree it in your food processor if you'd like. But in my house, that just means soup all over the counter, and in one unfortunate case involving chicken stock, the ceiling.

Private coaches growing influence on college quarterbacks
DAVIE, Fla. — On a steamy May morning just outside of Miami, Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock and Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty are standing 5 yards apart, tossing each other small green plastic balls.
Ken Mastrole, the former Maryland quarterback who bounced around NFL Europe and the Arena Football League in the early 2000s, is standing behind them, barking instructions for the drill they're about to start, which will have them twist into their throwing motion twice without releasing the ball, then make a quick toss on the third attempt.
"Pretend like there's a piece of glass in front of it," Mastrole said. "When you come through, you're going to tap the bone on the outside of your forearm and nose of the ball on the glass, quick. You're using less arm; you're working on twist. If the ball is coming out of your hand, you're doing it wrong. Twist and tap. Don't lead with the arm! Don't lead with the ball! Twist and tap."
Over the course of the 90-minute workout, Mastrole will lead them through various quarterback drills — some conventional, some less so — that focus primarily on footwork, balance, breathing, getting the body properly aligned to a target. At one point, he even mentions to Doughty that he's adjusting his grip too much as he's dropping back.
The next day, both quarterbacks would be headed back to their respective campuses for offseason workouts. But Mastrole hopes they can take some of the lessons from the workout and incorporate them into their preparation into the upcoming college football season.
"Guys like LeBron James or Usain Bolt, they get into the moment, but they're very relaxed, they can control their body movements," said Mastrole, who counts South Carolina's Dylan Thompson and Houston's John O'Korn among his pupils. He also helped E.J. Manuel, Tajh Boyd and Teddy Bridgewater with NFL draft preparations. "Quarterback is all about rhythm and feel, so I try to get these guys, when they're finding that time when they can't put the ball in the ocean, how do they get back to a rhythmic, relaxed state. I want to give guys one or two things they can go back and dial in on."
Mastrole, 37, is at the forefront of an industry that has grown significantly in recent years, offering quarterbacks specialized training from the high school level all the way up to the pros.
Thanks in large part to the celebrity of people such as George Whitfield, who worked with Johnny Manziel before his Heisman Trophy season and landed a regular spot on ESPN, quarterback gurus have seemingly popped up everywhere and secured dozens of clients from the college ranks.
But at the college level in particular, their presence has become a somewhat divisive issue, particularly for coaches whose philosophy is to control every aspect of what their quarterbacks learn.
"We've got good quarterback coaches," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "My guys aren't going out there. I'll coach them. When they go to pro ball, they can do whatever they want. We'll coach our guys. I don't think it benefits you. We know what we're doing, too."
The first time Utah State coach Matt Wells met Whitfield, he wasn't sure what to make of him. Here was this guy Wells had never heard of, standing in his assistant's office at Louisville in 2009, pulling out beanbags for footwork drills.
"I was like, 'Ehhh, I don't know, George,' " Wells said.
But Whitfield, who was there to train former Louisville quarterback Hunter Cantwell for the draft, impressed Wells by tightening up Cantwell's elongated throwing motion in the span of several weeks.
"I was a big project," said Cantwell, who was introduced to Whitfield through his California-based agency, Rep1 Sports. "We worked for three or four months, and I did pretty well at the combine and had a very good pro day. I think through some of the success I had and how quickly I was able to transform my throwing motion, that opened a lot of people's eyes."
As Whitfield remembers it, he happened to be watching ESPN when draft analyst Todd McShay mentioned how much Cantwell had changed his throwing motion. For Whitfield, it was validation that he had tapped into a useful niche.
"The whole lobby, the secretary, four or five receivers — we had a couple (junior college) guys — you would've thought we were watching the World Cup," Whitfield said. "We cheered just like that. We were all fired up."
The following year, largely due to the success he had with Cantwell, Whitfield got hooked up with Ben Roethlisberger, and his reputation as "The Quarterback Whisperer" took off.
An entire boutique industry took off with it.
David Morris, perhaps best known as Eli Manning's backup at Ole Miss, is a classic example. After college Morris went into real estate, the family business, and got his football fix by tutoring young players in the Mobile, Ala., area.
What started as a hobby gradually evolved into a part-time job. Then five years ago, Morris quit real estate and went into quarterback training full time, starting QB Country, charging upward of $175 for an hour of individual work. He has 15 college quarterbacks working with him this summer, including likely Alabama starter Jacob Coker.
"There's definitely a niche for this," Morris said. "I think what happens is guys excel a little earlier and other people say, 'Man, he really looks the part, so what are the ingredients?' People just see the value in it. You could be sitting on the couch or you could be getting some specific training that is very much related to what you want to do."
A number of college quarterbacks also have found it helpful to work with their own coach simply because NCAA rules prohibit them from getting the kind of specific, detailed technical training on campus in the offseason. Even during the season or in training camp, practice time is so limited that fundamentals often get overlooked.
"You do a short period each day of fundamental stuff, ball placement," said Rudock, the Iowa quarterback who threw for nearly 2,400 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. "But you spend most of your time during the season game-planning."
Mastrole also gets game film of his students and talks with them during the season if he notices something is off in their mechanics. He's careful, however, to make sure what he teaches or communicates remains independent of whatever offensive scheme they're supposed to run.
Mastrole, for instance, modified a drill for Doughty because Western Kentucky coach Jeff Brohm has a specific preference for when he gets rid of the ball on a roll-out.
"It gives them time when coaches can't touch them (per NCAA rules) to really hone in on stuff," Mastrole said. "I don't even look at the ball going to the receiver; I look at the mechanics, isolating technique at a high speed and developing that into being able to incorporate it into the game."
Most of Mastrole's clients, including Rudock and Doughty, are from the talent-rich South Florida area and have worked with him since they were in high school. One of the success stories is O'Korn, who committed to Houston early before many power conference programs began recruiting him. He started as a true freshman and threw for 3,117 yards and 28 touchdowns, crediting Mastrole's breathing exercises for calming his nerves.
"I wouldn't want to work with anybody else," O'Korn said.
Houston coach Tony Levine said he wasn't offended that O'Korn credits so much of his development to someone outside the Cougars' staff.
"If you go to a coaching clinic and learn one thing, you got better," Levine said. "If a young man can go to a different coach that specializes in his position and he comes away with one new drill, one new technique or something that helped him improve he got better and it was worth it."
Not every head coach, however, is as open-minded — particularly those who are heavily involved in coaching the quarterbacks themselves.
That attitude came to the forefront this spring when Auburn's Gus Malzahn told AL.com he would not allow starting quarterback Nick Marshall to work with Whitfield after Marshall's family had expressed some interest in sending him to California.
"You'd think there's got to be so much more going on at a national championship program that you wouldn't have to worry about what's going on or what could happen over 3,000 miles away," Whitfield said.
It's not the first time Whitfield has gotten backlash from a college coaching staff, but Auburn is one of the few programs where it's publicly caused friction.
Arizona's Rich Rodriguez said he wouldn't prohibit it but prefers his quarterbacks working with the coaches on campus until they graduate. Louisville's Bobby Petrino acknowledged that specialists can be helpful for kids or high school students but said he would not give his blessing to a quarterback in his program who wanted to work with a guru.
"We have our own philosophy on how we want them to do things, and we're going to work on our own techniques and fundamentals," Petrino said. "The guys that play for us, we feel like we're going to do the coaching with them. (Offensive coordinator) Garrick McGee and myself have been at it for a long time with quarterbacks, so we like to have our own touch on them."
Terry Shea, a longtime college and NFL coach who trains quarterbacks out of Phoenix and Kansas City, said he understands why some college coaches might be concerned about relinquishing some control.
"Whenever I take on a quarterback, I always ask them, have you discussed this with your offensive coordinator or head coach?" said Shea, who worked with Kansas State's Collin Klein, San Jose State's David Fales and Notre Dame's Tommy Rees while they were in college. "I always try to be very up front with that question."
The amount of communication between college coaches and quarterback gurus can vary from staff to staff.
Kansas State's Bill Snyder sent Shea game tapes of Klein. Clemson's Dabo Swinney said he's never met or even had a conversation with Whitfield despite the fact his former three-year starter, Tajh Boyd, traveled to California to work with him.
When Utah State's star quarterback Chuckie Keeton told Wells he wanted to work with renowned quarterback coach Steve Clarkson this summer, Wells felt it was necessary to be part of the process and set some parameters, particularly with Keeton coming off an ACL injury.
"Kind of like your first child, I feel like he's mine because I've been with him since the second day (predecessor Gary Andersen) hired me. You feel protective," Wells said. "I don't want the guy to mess with him from (the neck) up. But all the lower body stuff, footwork, drops and rhythm, he can probably teach you something I don't know."
In many ways, nobody connects the three major sources of money flowing through college football more than quarterback gurus. Because some work with and have access to high school quarterbacks, they operate on the fringe of the recruiting world. Then on the other end of a college player's career, the private coaches are used to train quarterbacks for NFL combine and pro day drills, a process that obviously involves agents. In the middle are the players themselves, who have to shell out as much as $5,000 in travel, housing, food and training to work with someone such as Shea and still be compliant with NCAA rules.
And the amount of money to be made has, naturally, given rise to some who aggressively pursue clients, embellish credentials or simply don't know what they're doing.
"There are so many guys doing this now. They're popping up all over, guys with cones and workouts," Mastrole said. "And I'm not saying I know everything, but I've seen a lot of bad stuff out there. Guys are coming up with their stuff off YouTube videos."
Though nobody would question Shea's résumé, he said he still avoids marketing himself and only takes on quarterbacks willing to spend five intense, 12-hour days with him working both on the field and in the classroom.
"I do hear more and more of the self-promotion to try to lure these college quarterbacks for a weekend, particularly in May and June, and consequently a lot of the intent of some of these guys is to try to take it even further and get them locked up in preparation for the draft," Shea said. "I don't think you can do a whole bunch in a weekend. You've got to be with a quarterback for more than a couple sessions to understand what's going to help him get better."
But for all the different opinions on the value of quarterback specialists and what role they should play in college football, they're here to stay.
"Coaching quarterbacks is a lot like religion," said Cantwell, who coaches quarterbacks himself at an NAIA school in Kentucky. "There's a bunch of philosophies out there, and people can get pretty touchy when you start messing with a philosophy you have for that position."

The letter "M" is pronounced with a vowel sound at the beginning. Like "em."
You don't need a list of "exceptions," you just need to know how to pronounce a given word. If it begins with a vowel sound, use "an."
You are correct that "university" starts with a "yoo" sound. So it is "a university."
In contrast, "umbrella" starts with an "um" sound. So it's "an umbrella."

Alicia Keys wants her fans to make a difference fighting AIDS.
"It wasn't until I traveled to South Africa on my first tour in 2002 that I really understood the AIDS pandemic in Africa and how it affects people of all races, colors, religions and backgrounds," she wrote in a USA Weekend editorial coming out this weekend. "It's so easy to live in your own world."

And now, she said it's time to do something about it.
"AIDS is preventable and treatable," she continued. "My charity, Keep a Child Alive, creates awareness about the issue in the U.S. We raise funds to provide AIDS care and treatment to children and their families in Africa and India. When you don't have access to treatment, AIDS is a death sentence. When you do, the outcome is far different. (You can donate $5 to KCA by texting ALIVE to 90999.)"

Jennifer Aniston Vs. Brooklyn Decker! Is Jen Jealous Of Co- Star Brooklyn's Killer Bikini Body?
Jen reportedly flew her trainer out to the Hawaii set of their movie Just Go With It to kick her butt and other body parts into even better shape!
We all know Jennifer Aniston's body is crazy hot — so maybe someone should tell HER that! The UK's Daily Mail is reporting that Jen, 41, is feeling a little self-conscious about co-starring with super-sexy swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, 23, and has even flown her personal trainer, Mandy Ingber, out to Hawaii for additional workouts. "Jen has been getting really wound up with the wardrobe department because her costumes are so skimpy and she's worried about working with a younger model with a hot body," a source tells the British paper. "She has upped her fitness regime and has had her gym equipment sent to her villa."
Jen, we're here to tell you — you have NOTHING to worry about! You have, hands down, one of the HOTTEST bodies in Hollywood right now. Your body is just as impressive as Brooklyn's, and even more so considering you're almost twice her age! Don't ever doubt yourself, Jen.
BFFs, do you agree with us? Tell us who YOU think has the hotter bikini bod, Jen or Brooklyn?

Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon.
Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of playing quarterback. Hell, I still dream about it. In an alternate dimension, I've already led the Vikings to six world titles. AND I did it all on a broken ankle. I also own an oceanside condo in Laguna Beach, which I share with Marisa Miller. It's a really nice time. Clooney's coming over Tuesday. You should drop by for some witty banter and a glass of Disaronno if you like.
Anyway, back here in reality ... In the spring of my senior year, I was accepted to the University of Michigan. It was the only school I got into. No other university saw my raw potential. Nor were they awed that I could eat 12 turkey drumsticks in a single sitting. A pity for them. I spent the majority of senior spring imagining myself getting into killer shape (only when I got to Michigan, not any sooner), learning to throw a perfect spiral and walking on to the team as a latter day Johnny U. I'd blow away the coaches, win four national titles and be elected honorary President of every fraternity on campus, even the black ones that didn't allow pledges to speak to white people. I thought it was a really killer plan.
Things didn't quite work out that way. For one, I never got into shape. Blimpy Burger will do that to you. (I liked mine with a fried egg on top!) More important, I couldn't throw a football. Still can't. I can't throw one more than 20 yards. Sometimes I'll wind up with all my might and think to myself YES, this will be the throw that goes 80 yards. It usually lands a good 20 feet from my friend Jeremy's feet. I didn't walk onto the Michigan team. I didn't even come close to trying. I got a hernia instead. I transferred after one semester, which opened the door for a certain fellow by the name of Tom Brady. You're welcome, Dreamboat.
Ah, but the dream lives on. I want to be a QB not because I love the game, but because I like to imagine the money, and the drugs and the incredible amount of available poon at my disposal. Can't beat that. But mostly, I want to be a QB so I can talk like one.
You ever hear a QB bark orders at the line of scrimmage? Fuck, I want to do that. No wonder Peyton Manning takes forever to call a goddamn play. He's relishing the chance to bark out random words as only a quarterback can. You get to drop your voice an octave and get all raspy, and no one questions it. BLUE 59 RAZOR! BLUE 59 RAZOR! SET, HUT! HUUUUUUUUUT! HUT! God, that is sweet.
I played JV football for, like, 10 years. And I could always tell that the kid who played QB was fucking jazzed to start talking like that. ALABAMA! ALABAMA! READYSET! That was the quick snap. Awesome. Defensive players would get in on it too. If they saw a pass, you bet you your ass all of them would yell PASSSSSS! at the top of their lungs. Same with SCREEN!s. And if the offense was unbalanced? Holy shit, that was bliss. UNBALANCED! UNBALANCED! UNBALANCED, MOTHERFUCKER!
Sometimes they'd get fooled. Especially on REVERSE REVERSE HOLY FUCK IT'S A REVERSE! NO, WAIT! PASS! PASSSSSSSSS!
You see those old NFL Films of QB's at the line, and you can tell they just know they look badass doing that shit. I totally want to do that. The closest I ever came was when I worked as a busboy at an Austrian restaurant in Connecticut run by a man who was an obvious descendant of Hitler. Customers couldn't hear you in the kitchen, so I'd run in and shout out the orders in my best QB bark:
I was never asked back to that job. It wasn't the same as playing QB anyway. So I dream on. I'm not a quarterback. But I'll be coaching Pop Warner some day. And you can bet your ass I'm gonna show some dipshit nine-year-old how to talk like one. Then he'll outthrow me by 50 yards. Little prick.
The Games
All games in the Jamboroo are evaluated for sheer watchability on a scale of 1 to 5 Throwgasms.
Five Throwgasms
Bucs at Colts: Like Cher, you can't stop Jeff Garcia from making a red hot comeback. To beat the Colts, the Bucs will deploy Michael Pittman and Earnest Graham in the place of injured Cadillac Williams. Few people know that Earnest Graham is the son of Earnest Byner and Scottie Graham. Byner is one of the more skilled bottoms among NFL alumni.
Four Throwgasms
Chargers at Broncos: Records suggest this isn't the most compelling matchup of the week. But this is the last stand for the Chargers. I'm expecting them to show a lot of... what's the opposite of resilience? As for the Broncos, Jay Cutler's parents apparently got into quite the spat during last week's Colts game. Is this the week that they have angry hate sex in front of the Bronco Brat vendor? I'll have my fly unzipped just in case.
Seahawks at Steelers: It's a rematch! Seattle looks to redeem itself after a controversial loss in the Super Bowl two years ago. Will they get revenge? Well, of course not. I mean, Christ, this is just a regular season game. That other game was the goddamn Super Bowl. That opportunity has long since passed, Hawks fans. You lost. Forever. But hey, you'll always have Mudhoney!
Browns at Patriots: Is Derek Anderson for real? If so, it would be the final humiliation for Brady Quinn. God, I hope he's for real.
Three Throwgasms
Jets at Giants: Bridge vs. Tunnel! Winner gets a month's supply of Dep, Van Heusen dress shirts, and Lee Press-On Nails!
Bears at Packers
Lions at Redskins
Two Throwgasms:
Falcons at Titans: Michael Jenkins and Roddy White have somewhat flourished with Joey Harrington throwing them the ball. So Falcon fans, you can thank the Federal government now for sparing you from seven additional years of Michael Vick learning to "grasp" the pro-style offense.
Ravens at Niners: Dilfer's Revenge! Brian Billick, did you think you could just leave Trent Dilfer for dead and get away with it? Dilfer will have the last laugh on you and your stupid fucking straw hat! Only Greg Norman can get away with that look! Prepare for a taste of fire!
Jags at Chiefs
Panthers at Saints
One Throwgasm:
Dolphins at Texans: This game's uglier than the lady in the HughesNet ads. I'll bet anything the chick in those ads is the CEO's second wife.
Cowboys at Bills: Speaking of ads, you'll probably see a lot of the new Miller Lite campaign during this blowout. It features John McGinley as commissioner of the More Taste League. I'm not quite sure how improved taste works in a league format, or why that league would require oversight from a commissioner. All I know is that Miller Lite would be the Buffalo of this league: shitty, colorless, and with nothing but lonely fatasses supporting it.
Cardinals at Rams: Leinart vs. Warner. Blue state vs. Red state. Young vs. Old. Illegitimate children vs. Stepchildren. Douchebag vs. Tightass. Too long holding onto the ball vs. Much too long holding onto the ball. Scary diseases vs. Scary wife. Annoyingly shallow vs. Annoyingly deep. Whining to Internet reporters vs. Whining to talk radio. WHO YA GOT?!
Five Players Who Could Fuck Your Fantasy Team Over
Five Players You Might Want To Think About Starting, Only To Have Them Screw You Regardless Of What You End Up Choosing To Do
These sections are being discontinued. You're not going to listen to my start/sit recommendations. Hell, even I don't listen to them. Last week, I suggested starting Cedric Benson and Brian Griese. You didn't need to read that. That was extremely unnecessary. Frankly, the only reason I wrote these was because I'll read any start/sit section on any site, no matter how stupid the advice is. It's just a nice time-filler. But I'm sick of looking at the schedule and trying to randomly pick a player who I think has a decent matchup. That's way too much research, and I'm not doing research for the $3 a week that Gawker Media pays me, especially when I have to fill out so many forms in order to get said $3. You hear me, Denton? I read you're worth $280 million. Drew wants his piece of the pie, you rich fuck.
But I'm not here to shortchange you, darling reader. I have a replacement section ready to go, and here it is...
Pregame Song That Makes Me Want To Run Through A Goddamn Brick Wall
I'm not here to try and impress you with my musical taste. I still have four Jamiroquai songs on my iPod. I can't get enough of that crazy Jay Kay, with his funky beats and large headwear. He also pioneered the art of walking on conveyor belts in music videos. Suck on that, OK Go! Sometimes, when I've had one mai tai too many, I crank up "Cosmic Girl" and prance around my house in a pink silk teddy. I make a prettier girl than Oscar De La Hoya, that's for goddamn sure. In prep school, I took naps while playing the "Fantasia" soundtrack in my dorm room. Ever masturbate to "Night On Bald Mountain"? It's quite thrilling. I liked to pretend my penis was the winged demon coming out of the mountaintop. I think my penis makes a great villain. But I may be unique in that regard.
So no, I don't have the world's greatest taste in music, nor do I fancy myself as such. I'm not going to try and be Zach Braff here and dazzle you with my love of the Shins, or some other assemblage of twee buttfuckers. I am strictly here to bring you the RAWK. With lots of loud guitars (and double guitars!). This week's pregame song is "How to Handle A Rope" by Queens Of The Stone Age.
I spend a lot of time each day having to endure the children's music my daughter listens to. Shit like this, or this. After listening to this soul-crushing crap for two hours each day, I feel compelled to listen to the darkest, most sinister music I can find. And this song fits the bill. "I'd rather open up my wrist, let it go"? Oh yeah, baby. I am so THERE. The riff also fucking owns. It's like: duh-duh-duh-duh-DUH-duh-DUUUUUUUUUUUH-duh. When I imagine myself as a rock star while riding the elliptical, I play this riff spectacularly. I get lots of titflashes on that one.
Five Potential Key Injuries
• Cadillac Williams (rear suspension - HEY-O!)
• Tom Brady (bounty)
• Marvin Harrison (insecure sexuality)
• Alex Smith (shoulder goblin)
• Brian Leonard (white)
This Week's Suicide Pick
Last week's suicide pool pick of Dallas was correct. Off the board now are Seattle, Denver, Dallas and New England. We again pick a suicide pool team and a way of committing actual suicide. This week's pick: Green Bay, and trapping yourself under a portcullis. I'm a big portcullis fan. When I sell the right to the Jamboroo to Google for $250 million, my Scottish castle will have a portcullis in every doorway. I want to keep the help on their toes.
Gametime Snack Of The Week
Barbecue potato chips. Jesus, I could eat these things by the case. A lot of people throw out the bag of chips once there are nothing but crumbs left. DON'T! I'm a big believer in the mixture of chip crumbs and powdered barbecue residue at the bottom of every bag. I just pour it right into my mouth. It's good because it tastes like salt!
We never keep barbecue potato chips in the house, which is a wise move. But if I see a bowl at a picnic or something, I am on it like Vick on weed. I'll just camp out right next to the bowl. Sometimes I'll eat 10 at a time. They're crunchier in greater volume. Sometimes the BBQ coating gets trapped under my nails. That makes for an extra special treat later in the day.
Gametime Cheap Beer Of The Week
Keystone Light. Large companies like to spend millions of dollars in focus group research for the explicit purpose of determining what is known as a Brand Proposition. The Brand Proposition presents a specific problem the customer has that your product can help solve. Now, I find it hard to believe that thousands of focus group subjects all told the Keystone Brewing Company, "You know what my problem is? It's this darn bitter beer! It causes cartoonish facial deformities in both me and my dog!" I don't ever remember bitter beer face being such a horrible epidemic. And I find it even more incredulous that Keystone, which is a fucking disgusting beer, would be the one beer that could solve that problem. Drinking Keystone makes my asshole pucker.
Sunday Afternoon Film Of The Week For Rams Fans
One False Move, written by Billy Bob Thornton and starring Billy Bob Thornton in the role he was born to play: Shady Drug Dealer With Rattail.
Anyway, for those of you that haven't seen it, One False Move is a very light-hearted, feel-good road comedy, with a hilarious opening sequence where three drug dealers enter the house of a delinquent user. Do some wacky misunderstandings occur? You bet! A woman gets slapped until blood pours out of her mouth. A man gets suffocated with a plastic bag. And another woman, as she pleads for her life, is stabbed to death. It's a hoot!
Don't forget to stick around for the utterly devastating ending. It'll make you happy to be alive!
Gratuitous Simpsons Quote
"Oooh! Fiddledeedee! That will require a tetanus shot! I'm not going to swear... BUT I AM GOING TO KICK THIS DOGHOUSE DOWN!"
Halftime Masturbation Kit
• For the guys: Yvonne Strahovski, who plays the lead female role on that show Chuck. That's actually a stage name Yvonne is using. Her real name is Yvonne Strzechowski. Let me offer a quick word of advice to all you aspiring actresses out there. If you have an incredibly confusing, Krzyzewski-style Polish name and you want to use a stage name, don't half-ass it. Yvonne's stage name is barely different, and just as difficult to Google. Why not go with Yvonne Jones? Or Yvonne Firmness? Or Frenchie Johnson? Please make your new name as easy to search as possible for us American masturbators. Thanks.
• For the gals: A young and shirtless Peter Gallagher. Little known fact: when Peter Gallagher cocks an eyebrow, it shows up on air traffic control radar.
Blatantly False, ProFootballTalk-Style, Fred Edelstein-esque Rumor Of The Week
WE HEAR... that Vikings coach Brad Childress ALSO enjoys masturbating to "A Night On Bald Mountain."
Three Questions Sideline Reporters Should Ask But Won't
• "Matt Leinart! Paul Zimmerman here. Why badmouth your team over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc? Why not a Pinot Grigio? I know wine!"
• "Eli, is Matt Ufford as smug and self-assured in person as I've heard?"
• "Tony Romo! Michele Tafoya. Will you bear me a second child while I'm still drunk?"
Your Motivational Pregame Quote for The Weekend
"See, you sat in the right seat because, when the show don't be funny, I take my dick out and piss. So this is called the Garden Row."

Enjoy the games, everyone.

Bullpen enjoys off-day after four innings of work
MINNEAPOLIS -- Tuesday's off-day after the season opener wasn't exciting for the Tigers, who mainly hung around the hotel or explored downtown. Still, it was a day of rest for a bullpen that went through four relievers for 12 outs to finish off Justin Verlander's first Opening Day victory.
They'll have another off-day next Monday, but with five straight games coming up and a closer by committee, somebody's probably going to have to pitch back-to-back games. Depending on extra innings, even three straight days isn't out of the question.
It's part of the challenge of managing a bullpen by committee, and it's especially tricky early in the season. One advantage manager Jim Leyland has is a background on all of his relievers, having managed each of them last year.
"I'll common sense," Leyland said. "I'm not going to get anybody hurt. I'm not going to push anybody, particularly early on. You push some guys later on."
It's not as simple as a reliever being good for an inning in a given game, Leyland said, because an inning could last anywhere from a handful of pitches to a couple dozen or more.
Another factor, Leyland said, is how many times a relief pitcher might warm up in a given game. Those get charted as well, though Leyland noted that veteran relievers know how to pace themselves according to how many pitches they need to get warm.

Tooling Update
Milling-Machine Lineup Offers a Model for Every Application
MC Machinery Systems, Inc., Wood Dale, IL, introduces its Diamond Cut lineup of milling machines, comprising five series of vertical machining centers and drilling and tapping machines. Included is the MCV Series of general-purpose vertical milling machines, which offer the choice of two spindle/tooling systems—a CAT-40 tooling system with an 8000-RPM motor, or a CAT-50 tooling system using a 6000-RPM motor. Use the machines on fixtures and dies and to perform secondary operations. The machines feature coolant-thru-spindle preparation and an M70 Mitsubishi controller; as an option, add a ZF gearbox to achieve four times the torque of a standard motor.
Also new are the SV Series machines, featuring heavy-duty box construction in the X, Y and Z axes to add rigidity and stability for machining of large parts. The machines feature a 10,000-RPM spindle, CAT 50 tooling and hand-scraped box guides.
For drilling and tapping, consider the TV Series machines that feature a 24,000-RPM high-speed spindle driven by a 5-HP motor. Dual-contact tooling delivers extra rigidity and optimum Z-depth control.MC Machinery Systems, Inc.: 630/616-5920; www.mitsubishi-world.com

Luthiers from Ronin Guitars made with redwood guitars gain international recognition
Eight years ago, John and Jack Reed began to make their first prototype redwood guitars, which John Reed one day brought into Lugo's repair shop back in New York City. Lugo was eventually invited out to the Reeds' 13-acre property in the redwoods near Carlotta where they were building their guitars at the time. W alking through the towering redwoods as opposed to the skyscrapers he was used to was enough to convince Lugo to join their team
How Rock Found Fuzz Box
MURFREESBORO — Ever wondered how the distorted sound effect of electric guitars started? It happened in Nashville in 1960 — an accident of technology that would forever change the face of music. And Murfreesboro's own Glenn Snoddy was at the helm of creating what became known as "the Nashville sound," although he first called it […]

March 17, 2004
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University women's soccer team has announced four scrimmages as part of the spring season. Head coach Jerry Smith and his returning players will begin conditioning during the first week of the spring quarter (week of March 29) in preparation for the off-season matches.
Santa Clara will most likely play through the spring without six starters from the 2003 season. All-American Leslie Osborne is currently competing with the U.S. National Team in preparation for the Olympic Games, while juniors Bree Horvath and Megan Kakadelas are nursing injuries. Junior defender Jessica Ballweg could miss time while training with the Under-21 National Team, and freshmen Tina Estrada and Julie Ryder could also miss time while working with the Under-19 National Team.
"The double-edged sword of recruiting the best student-athletes is that you might not always have them," Smith said. "We're very happy for their opportunities, however, it certainly makes it more difficult to get the team working together in preparation for the fall. However, you play the cards you're dealt; we have a talented pool of players here it gives us a chance to try some new things out."
The Broncos will play Bay Area rival Stanford and participate in California's 7Aside Tournament. The Broncos will also scrimmage twice against the Women's Premier Soccer League's California Storm, featuring many former WUSA members, including former Bronco Brandi Chastain. Those scrimmages will take place at Santa Clara Soccer Park, located about four miles from campus, near the Santa Clara Golf and Tennis Club. Cross streets are Centennial Boulevard and Tasman Drive Please click here for a detailed map.
The Bronco coaching staff is currently working on adding a fifth date to the spring schedule, so please periodically check back to this calendar.
Spring practices will focus on fundamental training with each team member, adding technical skill to passing, dribbling and heading abilities. Smith said they also do functional training, where he breaks the team into groups and focuses on different positions.
"We usually don't win a lot of games in the spring because we're not working on team concepts or tactics," Smith explained. "We're taking advantage of opportunities to experiment with some of the technical things we're working on and see how they work in live game situations."

It's a toss up between Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for my favorite family meal of the year. For Christmas we start off with caviar and smoked trout and then move into a prime rib with Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes, followed by trifle. Go big, or go home. For the mashed potatoes I'm giddy when we've made enough to use for leftover mashed potato pancakes. My dad puts chives in his mashed potatoes, but if yours are without, do add some fresh chives to the pancake batter. Or, for a cheesy option, sprinkle some grated pecorino into the mix. These savory pancakes can be sweetened up for kiddie appetites with a spoonful of applesauce, though I prefer them with a dollop of crème fraîche.
Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes
Makes 8 pancakes
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
crème fraîche or applesauce, optional, to garnish
In a bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, eggs, flour and salt and pepper until smooth. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and using a 1/4 cup measure drop batter into 8 rounds into the pan and flatten slightly with spatula. (Depending on size of skillet, you may need to do this in two batches.)
Fry pancakes about 4 minutes until bottoms are golden and crispy, and then flip with spatula. Fry an additional 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels and serve with either crème fraîche or applesauce.

Chuck Palahniuk To Appear At Powell's This Saturday In Portland, OR
If you've ever been to Portland, OR and not visited Powell's City of Books, you have done yourself a great disservice. Powell's is easily considered one of the greatest bookstores in North America and, like many authors, it just so happens to be one of Chuck Palahniuk's favorites. Therefore, Chuck has agreed to not only stop by for their upcoming 41st birthday event this Saturday, but will be bringing some goodies to give away and sign.
Here are the details, straight from Chuck's mouth:
A heads up... Next Saturday, August 25th, the Powell's bookstore is throwing itself a huge 40-something birthday party. They'll be blocking off streets around the building on West Burnside, in downtown Portland. There will be games, author appeaances, live music, etc. They've asked me to come speak, and I proposed bringing gifts for my readers. Several years ago I recorded a two-disk CD collection of the best stories I'd read on past book tours. Including "Guts" and the as-yet-unpublished story "Cold Calling." The studio produced them beautifully, but they've never been for sale. I've only ever given them to readers who wrote to me. I'd like to bring 200 sets to the Powell's birthday event and inscribe them for whoever comes to say hello. It's a chance to get something rare and not otherwise available.
And then here are a few more details:
I'll be at the street fair party, behind the downtown Powell's from 2:30 PM until 5:30 pm, Saturday, August 25th, signing books and giving away 300 sets of the "Tour Stories" CD's. The store plans to close two blocks of NW Couch Street for the party. I'll be in a tent designated for book signing. I'm excited about giving the stories to people, and happy to inscribe them.
Chuck will be in the tent designated for book signing from 230p until 530p on Saturday, the 25th. I assume this is first come first serve.
For more information about the big Powell's event, check out their site.

Ever since the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager, by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman who pursued him on foot, much of the commentary has revolved around whether Florida's controversial 'Stand Your Ground' law played a role in the tragedy.
The law is an extension fo the "Castle Doctrine" which allows people to defend themselves with deadly force against a home intruder.
Stand Your Ground laws empower citizens to defend themselves–using deadly force–if they reasonably believe their life or the lives of others are in danger, or to prevent a forcible felony.
One Gawker writer called the law "a roving murder bubble." Emily Bazelon of Slate, has suggested that the facts we know about suggest that Trayvon Martin may have had more reason to claim self-defense.
You can read the entire text of the Florida law on Wikipedia, here.
Here are some of the relevant sections:
776.012 Use of force in defense of person.—...... a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
- (1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or
- .... .
(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
776.041 Use of force by aggressor. —The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who: ....
(2) Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless:
- (a) Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant; or
- (b) In good faith, the person withdraws from physical contact with the assailant and indicates clearly to the assailant that he or she desires to withdraw and terminate the use of force, but the assailant continues or resumes the use of force.
So what does that mean in this case?
First, it should be mentioned that there is much that seems unclear from the police report and the evidence at hand. Zimmerman's full testimony has not been heard. We know that Zimmerman called 911 to report Martin's presence on the street as suspicious. We know that against the dispatcher's instruction, Zimmerman pursued Martin, the two of them got into some kind of fight–Zimmerman had grass stains on his back and blood on the back of his head, but we know of no visit to a hospital for these injuries. At some point Zimmerman shot Martin, killing him.
Zimmerman, according to CNN, may have muttered "f#&cking coons" into the phone to a 911 dispatcher while pursuing Martin. Martin may may have gotten a decisive upper-hand in their confrontation, according to one eyewitness in this Fox report.
Yesterday, former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush said he didn't believe the Stand Your Ground law applied in the Trayvon Martin case: "This law does not apply to this particular circumstance… Stand your ground means stand your ground. It doesn't mean chase after somebody who's turned their back."
Zimmerman claimed that he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense, and the Sanford police seem to have accepted that assertion, labeling the case a justifiable homicide.
But the 911 tapes reveal that when Zimmerman decided to pursue Martin, it was based only on the fact that Martin looked "suspicious" and had something in his hand. (It turned out to be a can of iced tea.)
Unless Zimmerman turned back to his truck and retreated from his pursuit, and Martin then jumped him from behind that would mean, that Stand Your Ground likely apply to Zimmerman since he "initially provoked the use of force against himself."
The law still wouldn't apply to Zimmerman if he got into some kind of fistfight with Martin, and he lost the upper hand. Police reports say that Zimmerman had grass stains on the back of his shirt, and blood on the back of his head after the confrontation. Zimmerman again would have been the one initiating it by getting out of his car and pursuing Martin aggressively.
If Martin somehow was aware of Zimmerman's gun, the Stand Your Ground law may have applied to him, as any reasonable person would assume that a man aggressively chasing you with a gun and initiating a fight may have the intention of killing you.
In other words, if police arrived on the scene and Zimmerman was dead, Martin may have been justified under Stand Your Ground.
It is possible that even if the Stand Your Ground law does not apply to Zimmerman in these circumstances, its existence discourages police from charging someone with murder when they've claimed self-defense, since a Stand Your Ground defense puts the burden on prosecutors to prove that a person did not retreat and clearly communicate their intentions to cease a conflict, or that they did initially provoke the use of force against themselves.
It is also possible that a person with a murderous intentions could have known about the law and felt empowered to pursue a confrontation with confidence that he wouldn't be charged with murder if there was any reasonable way he could claim self-defense.
Unless new facts come to light, it does seem that Jeb Bush has a point: the Stand Your Ground law does not seem to apply to George Zimmerman.

Under the Ministry's umbrella, this event will be held for two days starting on April 16. This mission is significant as it is represented by most of the trade-related government departments in the UAE. It brings together the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED), Dubai Exports, Dubai Foreign Direct Investment, and Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development. The Federation of Kurdish Chambers of Commerce has extended its full support to the UAE mission.
The mission includes businessmen, investors and government officials from the UAE. They will get a chance to attend a two-day conference and exhibition and would be able to develop business links with the private and public sector in Kurdistan.
Abdullah Al Saleh, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, said: "Iraq is a promising market with unprecedented investment opportunities and it is our duty to contribute in development and rebuilding of the Iraq economy." The aim of this initiative is not only to attract Kurdistan market but to make it the UAE's gateway to the entire Iraq market, he added.
Al Saleh remarked that Iraq is the second largest re-export market for the UAE, while the ultimate aim of this initiative is to increase trade volume and investments opportunities between the two countries. The overall non-oil trade between the UAE and Iraq has reached $6.8 billion in 2011, achieving 40 per cent increase in comparison with 2010, according to latest figures from the MoFT.
While the value of bilateral trade between the two countries has recorded at $5.1 billion (Dh18.73 billion) in the first half of 2012, Al Saleh remarked that the overall trade has conserved this remarkable growth and hopefully will be recorded at a value of $8 billion (Dh29.38 billion) in 2012 overall.
Saeed Al Awadi, CEO of Dubai Exports, said that TradeUAE Iraq comes in line with the aims of Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA) to promote trade among Arab countries by opening new markets and creating more business opportunities.
"This official mission will focus on bringing businesses and government officials from both sides together to share useful information on main potential sectors in Kurdistan including, trade, construction, tourism, oil, hospitality, retail, utility, technology and telecommunication."
Pointing to the UAE companies' shares in the Iraqi market, Al Gergawi remarked that there is a good investment for these companies in Iraq naming, Al Futtaim Group, Rotana, Dana Gas, Paris Gallery, Damac and others.
Hamad Abdullah Al Mass, Executive Director of the International Relations Sector at Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, emphasised the importance of the agreement signed recently between DED and Abu Dhabi which seeks to increase UAE businesses' shares across new and potential markets.
"This initiative will enable easy access for businessmen to new markets as well as it will create an ideal business climate that helps to promote UAE products and local industry and make it available in different markets," he added.
One-on-one meetings for business matchmaking and a special Business direct programme for traders to meet privately with their counterparts will also be part of the event, clarified Laith Kubba, Managing Partner of Streamline Marketing Group. "Kurdistan is a cash-rich region and will capitalise on that to develop its market, attracting bigger investment," he said.
