Toward the end of a tough year with Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Discount | zero Grand Slam final appearances, Roger Federer is splitting with coach Paul Annacone.

Federer, who owns a record 17 Grand Slam titles, announced Saturday on his website that he will stop working with Annacone after 3 1/2 seasons together.

"After numerous conversations culminating at the end of our most recent training block, we felt like this was the best time and path for both of us," the posting continues.

The move comes only two days after Federer's latest surprising loss in a year filled with them: He was beaten 6-4, 6-7 Discount Arizona Cardinals Jerseys | (5), 6-3 in the third round of the Shanghai Masters by Gael Monfils, a former top-10 player now ranked 42nd and recently back from injury.

The defeat hurt the 32-year-old Federer's chances of qualifying for the season-ending ATP Tour Finals, a tournament that gathers the top eight singles players.

Federer used Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Discount | to be a lock for the field, year-in and year-out - he spent more weeks at No. 1 in the ATP rankings than any other man. But Federer was ranked only No. 7 last Monday and is no longer nearly the dominant presence he was for a decade.

The tournament in China was the first for Federer Cheap NFL Jerseys | since Discount Arizona Cardinals Jerseys his fourth-round exit at the U.S. Open, where he lost to 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo in straight sets on Sept. 3.

"Roger, when he was No. 1, (compared) to the Roger right now," Robredo said that day, "he's not maybe (playing) with the same confidence, no?"

Federer has struggled at times in 2013 with a bad back. He's also experimented off and on with a larger racket head. He failed to reach at least one final at any of the four Grand Slam tournaments, something that last happened to him in 2002. That year also marked the last time he was ranked lower than he is now.

He lost in the semifinals at the Australian Open Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Discount | in January, the quarterfinals at the French Open in early June, and the second round of Wimbledon - against a player ranked 116th - in late June. That ended Federer's record run of reaching at least the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive major tournaments.

The loss to Robredo gave Federer a new, unwanted streak that he will carry into the 2014 Australian Open: two consecutive losses before the quarterfinals at majors.

His last Grand Slam championship came in 2012 at Wimbledon, which he won for the record-tying seventh time. That allowed Federer to return to No. 1 in the rankings, ended a 2 1/2-year major title drought - and marked the lone Grand Slam trophy Federer and Annacone won as a pair.

In Saturday's announcement, Federer refers to a three-year plan he and Annacone, who previously worked with Pete Sampras, established in order to earn a Grand Slam title and a return to No. 1.

"Along with many other goals and great memories," the posting says, "these 2 main goals were achieved."

Interest rates have been falling over the last month as the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program gets extended and political uncertainty grows.

Book the trade! Munson shouts in the above video. He says the Fed drove this trade by delaying the taper 鈥?and a flight to safety ahead of the government shutdown pushed the trade even harder. The difference between 2.7% Giants Jerseys For Cheap Cheap Giants Jerseys Sale and 2.5% yields is irrelevant, but getting long bonds while the 10-year yield breaks out Cheap Authentic Ravens Jerseys On Sale over 3% would be a disaster.

Advisors Cheap Authentic Ravens Jerseys Sale may like to sell customers on the idea that bonds are a safe haven, but Munson regards them as a place to park cash until opportunities emerge in equities.

Landon is a 3-year-old boy who, two Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Discount | years ago, became fussy and had a seizure. He had drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Discount | meningitis. After 21 months of taking difficult drugs and almost three months in the hospital, he is doing surprisingly well.

Jon is a 16-year-old with diabetes who developed TB in his lungs that almost killed him. Several friends and healthcare workers caught the germ from him.

These are not children in Africa or Asia. They are children in Texas.

Over the past 30 years, I have cared for 1,000 children with TB and am considered an expert regarding the disease. The bad news is that I became an expert right here in Houston. Today, the tuberculosis clinic at is as busy as it ever has been.

Tuberculosis remains one of the major global scourges of humans. Every year, more than one million people around the world die from it. Well over 75,000 deaths are in children. Children Discount Arizona Cardinals Jerseys who breathe in TB germs can become ill within weeks or a few months. Children often do not show signs of illness until the disease is advanced Cheap NFL Jerseys | and difficult to treat. The true tragedy is that TB is both curable and preventable if the available tools are applied properly.

Childhood TB has been neglected for many reasons. Children with TB are often poor and live in vulnerable communities where there is poor access to health care. Making the diagnosis can be difficult, so TB is often missed or overlooked. Most young children with TB are not contagious. As such they are ignored in places where the disease is common among adults. And no one has been speaking out for children.

Fortunately, the tide is turning. On Oct. 1, in conjunction with the and , the World Health Organization, the Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease and several other organizations launched the Roadmap for Childhood Tuberculosis. This landmark document outlines the 10 essential steps that, if followed, will ensure that no child, from Houston to Hong Kong, dies from TB.

Achieving this goal requires sustained advocacy, greater commitment, mobilization of increased resources, enhanced research and a joint effort by everyone involved in providing health care for children.

Implementing this roadmap requires better use of the available tools. It also will require research to develop better diagnostic tests and child-friendly drugs. While much of this research will be done in Africa and Asia, Houston also has a rich history of childhood TB research that dates back 65 years. Many of the techniques of modern TB control were developed in Houston.

Of course, all of this requires money, but not as much as you might think. For $80 million a year for prevention and treatment, and $40 million for research, childhood TB can be eliminated as one of Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Discount | the 10 leading causes of death in children.

However, money is not enough.

Two major actions are required. First, we need to create a sense of urgency beyond the TB community. Rather than waiting for children to become seriously ill before we find and treat them, the broader child health community must get involved to find and prevent childhood TB.

Second, we must include the needs of children in research and policy development. This will benefit both adults and children. A large proportion of adults who develop TB actually acquired the infection when they were children. The treatment of these children will prevent Discount Arizona Cardinals Jerseys | future cases of contagious adult TB and the cycle of transmission will be broken.

The common wisdom among folks who care for children with TB is that every case is preventable, and is a failure of TB control. We must ask ourselves how much longer we will allow this preventable disease to hurt and kill children all over the world. It is too late to prevent the disease that Landon and Jon had to battle, but it is not too late for millions of other kids just like them, here and around the world.

 

Jeffrey R. Starke, a physician, is a professor of pediatrics at and is one of the authors of the Roadmap for Childhood Tuberculosis.

Earlier this week, NFL owners to help pay for upgrades at the homes of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns. from the as the team gets ready to start on its improvements after this season ends.

The stadium money, Authentic Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Sale known as the G-4 fund, comes from a pool of shared revenue in the NFL and affords teams favorable loan terms. , Panthers president, told me Friday the team plans to pay for part of its $37.5 million renovation commitment at using the NFL fund.

NFL owners approved $62.5 million for the Browns project and $27 million for the Redskins.

Last spring, the Panthers and the city of Charlotte reached an agreement for the team to stay in the Queen City for at least six more years in exchange for $87.5 million in taxpayer money. Of that amount, generated by tourism taxes, to the upper level, new scoreboards and video Arizona Cardinals Jerseys For Cheap boards, a new sound system and other improvements. The team pledged $60 million, and improvements at the stadium. Maintenance and rent-free days for use by city tourism events authentic jerseys wholesale are also part of the team investment.

Privately owned BofA Stadium opened in 1996. State and New NFL Jerseys local government contributed $60 million for the site and improvements to the streets and area surrounding the stadium. The $187 million construction tab was paid for by the team and fans who bought seat licenses in exchange for season-ticket rights.

The time to deal players heading into free agency is usually two years before said player reaches free agency, to maximize the return for that player. But some teams cannot trade away star players because they personalized nfl jerseys are favorites to make the playoffs or are gearing for a playoff run. The traded away last offseason, two years before he reaches free agency and received top prospect in return. Seeing the return on Shields, many teams will monitor the trade market for their young pitching this offseason, including the Tigers, who are attempting to make it to for the second year in a row.

But, who would have thought they might make Cy Young award favorite Max Scherzer available this offseason?

According to Danny Knobler from CBS Sports, there is a very real chance the could trade this offseason. Here is Knobler:

So why would the Tigers trade him?

Because Scherzer is one year away from free agency and is a Scott Boras client who is very unlikely to sign a long-term deal this close to being able to test the market. The Tigers may make an attempt to sign him after this season, but they realize that it's unlikely he would accept a deal now.

He goes on to say the Scherzer's salary is likely to jump into the $20 million per year range this offseason, and the Tigers already have three players making $20 million or more in , and .

Do you think the Tigers are regretting signing Fielder to such a large contract after seeing what Scherzer did this season? I imagine they do.

So, which teams could have interest in dealing for Scherzer? How about the , , , , , .

The Rangers, Cardinals, Braves and Pirates have the most major league ready prospects, or young talent, to offer the Tigers in return for Scherzer. But, I wonder if the Pirates would get personalized jerseys aggressive this offseason in an attempt to build on their first playoff appearance in 20 years.

Scherzer to Pirates

The Pirates have one of the better farm systems in the big leagues with pitching prospect , shortstop and outfielder . Minor League Ball's John Sickels recently published his and here is where he ranked these Pirates prospects:

Jameson Taillon - #12

Gregory Polanco - #21

Alen Hanson - #51

I would be surprised to see the Pirates deal Taillon, but he would have to be the main piece in any deal for a pitcher the likes of Max Scherzer, who presumably, will win the American League Cy Young award in a few weeks. Add in shosttop Alen Hanson and the Pirates would have an ace starter they can match up against Cheap New York Jets Jerseys Sale the Adam Wainwrights and ' in the National League Central race in 2014.

Scherzer to Rangers

I could also see the Rangers making a bid for Scherzer and offering straight up for Scherzer Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale would fit needs for both teams. Then again, I can't see the Rangers giving up Profar who has five more years before reaching free agency for a starter who is a year away from free agency. The Rangers have plenty of other talent in their farm system, but Profar is their most attractive piece right now. Adding Scherzer could be one of many offseason moves the Rangers make in retooling their roster in an effort to make the playoffs again in 2014.

Scherzer to the Cardinals

The Cardinals could offer one of their top pitching prospects: Carlos Martinez, , or in a Patriots Jerseys For Cheap package for Scherzer, and it would make sense for both teams. Adding Scherzer would give the Cardinals two of Cheap New York Jets Jerseys On Sale the top 12 starters in the game to team with Wainwright. Adding a young starter to replace Scherzer, or a major league ready shortstop,  is probably what the Tigers would look for in any deal involving Scherzer this offseason.

Scherzer to the Giants

The Giants will lose starter to free agency this offseason, so they may look to deal one of their top pitching prospects to land Scherzer. Adding Scherzer to the top of the Giants rotation with and could push the team back into the National League playoff picture after finishing in last place this season. Offering one of or Clayton Blackburn in a package for Scherzer could get a deal done.

What do you think? Who has the best chance at landing Scherzer this offseason, assuming he is traded? Which team did I miss?
