Perhaps already annoyed by the attention to his left elbow ahead of the Super Bowl, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman used a quip to answer one reporter's question about that joint's range of motion.
"If I had to slap my brother," Sherman replied, "I'd be able to do it."
Seattle's other All-Pro defensive back, safety Earl Thomas, is dealing with a bum shoulder and not only missed practices but also avoided the media, which is one way to avoid the question that so often becomes a big part of the buildup to the big game: How hurt are you?
WASHINGTON — Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis' lobbying for a Winter Classic in his NHL team's home city began with an email sent to Commissioner Gary Bettman the moment the league's first New Year's Day game was played in 2008.
NEW YORK — Wilting in high heat and humidity, Eugenie Bouchard became the latest top woman to lose at the U.S. Open, ending her streak of making the semifinals at each Grand Slam tournament this year.
The NFL does what it can via the draft, salary cap, free agency and, coming soon, expanded playoffs to engineer a sense of parity, making each team and each fan base believe it has a chance to win on any given Sunday — and to reach any season's Super Bowl.
Those efforts might finally have brought about the death of dynasties: It's been a decade since the New England Patriots won the 2003 and 2004 titles, the longest stretch without a repeat champion in nearly a half-century of Super Bowls.
LONDON — Petra Kvitova plays so much better at the All England Club than anywhere else, and now she owns two championships to prove it.
In one of the most dominant performances in a women's final at Wimbledon, the sixth-seeded Kvitova of the Czech Republic overpowered and overwhelmed 13th-seeded Eugenie Bouchard of Canada 6-3, 6-0 in only 55 minutes Saturday to add to her 2011 title at the grass-court Grand Slam.
"I know," Kvitova said, "this is the best tournament for me."
LONDON — For the fourth year in a row, three women will divide the season's first three Grand Slam titles, no matter who winds up lifting the trophy at Wimbledon on Saturday.
So far in 2014, Li Na won the Australian Open, then lost in the first round at the French Open and the third round at the All England Club. Maria Sharapova won the French Open, but was beaten in the fourth round at the other two majors.
LONDON — Rafael Nadal ran out of comebacks at Wimbledon, losing to a brash, big-serving, between-the-legs-hitting 19-year-old kid who might just be a future star.
Maria Sharapova, somehow, seemed on the verge of a turnaround despite a flurry of unforced errors, saving six match points before finally succumbing on the seventh with — what else? — a missed shot.
LONDON — As Serena Williams began to fall behind in what would become her earliest Wimbledon exit in nearly a decade, her coach could tell something was awry.
Not the so-so serving. Or the bad backhands. This was a larger problem.
"Right now, she doesn't have her usual ability to respond and turn matches around," said Patrick Mouratoglou, who has worked with Williams since 2012. "It was obvious when she trailed 3-0 in the second set. Nothing happened."
PARIS — Trying to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open is, without a doubt, the toughest task in tennis. Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports.
The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot. That bullwhip of a high-bouncing, topspin lefty forehand. Those quick-reflex returns that help him break an opponent's serve — and his will.
PARIS — Wind was whipping, rain was falling, and thick gray clouds overhead were foreboding as Serena Williams double-faulted, then raised her hands in despair and wailed, "I can't serve!"
As if to prove the point, Williams double-faulted again moments later, before pushing a routine backhand wide to get broken at love.

Squad Car Fire Closes North Texas Interstate
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – Monday afternoon a Fort Worth Police Department squad car sat charred in the middle of Interstate-20.
An officer was performing a traffic stop near Hulen and was inside his car.
Meanwhile another vehicle, a van, traveling on the highway somehow rear-ended the squad car. The impact of the collision was so forceful that the squad car became airborne and when it slammed back to the ground burst into flames.
In a matter of minutes flames engulfed the squad car and charred it beyond recognition.
The police officer isn't believed to have serious injuries, but was taken to an area hospital to be evaluated.
While initially starting off on the side of the road, the squad car ended up in the middle of the highway. Subsequently I-20 westbound was temporarily closed at Hulen. All lanes were reopened and traffic was moving by the peak of rush hour.

Army Desert Boots
Picture an American soldier fulfilling a desert mission. As he presses forward through the sand and wind, imagine his feet. We could almost bet that you don't picture a pair of ballerina slippers adorning his toes. (If you do you should probably consider counseling.) No, you picture him stomping over the sand in a pair of bona fide military boots. ...Durable and dependable, Military Desert Boots offer a foundation of support for Working People in extreme environments. Even if you don't report to Uncle Sam, the drudgery of your daily grind could still use the support of these sturdy foundations. Our selection of Military Desert Boots includes designs from footwear giants like Corcoran and Matterhorn. Take a closer look at our Matterhorn Desert Boots and you'll find the stabilizing traction of Vibram outsoles and the moisture-wicking waterproof power of Gore-Tex technology. If you're looking for the anti-thesis of ballerina slippers, you'll find what you're looking for in our Desert Military Boots.(Learn More About Army Desert Boots)(See less)

Now, I'll turn the call over to Robert.
Robert Blum Thank you, Sharon. During the second quarter Cytokinetics took additional steps to execute on the company's business plan directed to the biology of muscle function. In the second quarter, we initiated dosing in two Phase IIa evidence of effect trials of the lead drug candidate from our skeletal muscle activator program, CK-2017357 or CK-357. One in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS and the other in patients with symptoms of claudication. With these trial initiations, we are demonstrating clear progress towards our goal of advancing a broad and sustainable pipeline of novel mechanism drug candidates. We are especially pleased with the continuation of the Phase IIa trial of CK-357 in patients with ALS. In recent days, we conducted an interim review of the data with results supporting the continuation of this trial under the current protocol. As Andy will elaborate, we are pleased with what we have seen to-date in terms of the apparent safety and tolerability of CK-357 in these patients as well as the dose proportional and predictable pharmacokinetic profile of this drug candidate in the patient studied. We look forward to additional data from this trial by the end of the year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The slight figure of a young woman, clutching an ailing child to her, moves steadily through the twisted paths and treacherous footholds carved in the sheer rock faces of the towering snow-covered mountains. She knows that the slightest mistake can cost a life, but Zahida Bi has embarked on this foot-journey from her village Murrah, located in the Peer Panjal range in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, to reach a government hospital at Bufliaz in Surankote Tehsil, about 16 km away, to get her child treated. It will be dusk by the time she reaches the base, so she will take refuge at a relative's place for the night. After the visit to the hospital in the morning, she will have to undertake this arduous journey again.
"In the absence of a primary health center in our far-off village, we are completely dependent on the basic health care services available in Surankote or Poonch. Even to board a passenger vehicle, we have to walk continuously for over six hours as there are no roads, virtually disconnecting us from the rest of the world," rues Zahida Bi.
The border district of Poonch in the Jammu region has only 120 health facilities catering to 189 panchayats. The numbers may seem adequate for the scanty population they cover collectively, but the poor quality of service at these centers is further marred by their distance from the people who reside in villages in the remote interiors.
According to the 2011 Census, Poonch has a population of about 476,820, over 90 per cent of which resides in villages. Villages like Murrah are tucked away in the higher reaches and remain cut off during the winters due to the absence of roads. On the other hand, there are at least 16 road projects, conceived under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), on which work has been abandoned half way for various reasons. In 2006, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj categorised Poonch as one of the country's 250 most backward districts. It is one of the three districts in Jammu and Kashmir currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme.
The intense geographical challenges, coupled with the conspicuous absence of basic amenities, public infrastructure and administrative inertia, throw up tales of extreme hardship faced by villagers every day. Poverty is the primary issue in such villages where militants once ruled the roost and did not allow any development work. Though militancy has decreased considerably, the villagers are yet to taste the fruits of economic development.
Children are the worst-affected. Besides arranging for firewood and fodder from the nearby forests, they have to ferry eatables and dry rations to their homes as the area does not have an outlet of the Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CAPD) Department. Their problems are further compounded during the rains and flash floods.
Haji Mohammad Aslam, Sarpanch of Murrah, says, "We paid heavy human costs during the years of militancy. Though peace has been restored, the promises of development in this backward village are yet to be fulfilled. A large majority of village youth are doing menial jobs in big cities simply because there are no employment opportunities in Poonch. The government has even failed to provide us basic amenities like safe drinking water."
"Without a road, the government cannot begin or accelerate developmental work here," opines Ghulam Din, a local resident, adding that between Kalaali and Murrah, two concrete pillars meant for a bridge stand tall at Laadian. The construction work was reportedly suspended halfway due to unknown reasons. "In the absence of the bridge, many people, especially children, have lost their lives in flash floods," he says and regrets, "We have made many representations to the Roads and Buildings Department but to no avail. The bridge needs to be spanned immediately. It will ensure supply of all essentials to our villages through mules round the year."
According to villagers, agriculture and livestock are their mainstay but the concerned departments are doing precious little to help them in these sectors.
When these issues were brought to the notice of the then District Deputy Commissioner, Ajeet Kumar Sahu, he said, "The area remained out of development focus due to militancy and geographical challenges. I have recently sent a proposal to the government listing the issues of this particular village among the top ten development issues being faced by the district."

Badly disfigured Lady Isobel Dalceann has fought fiercely to defend her keep, with little thought for her safety. Why, then, has she let a stranger within her walls? While he threatens danger, his battered body marked by war mirrors her own scars and tempts her to put her faith in him.
Marc de Courtenay is a mercenary and a loner, although he is drawn to damagedbeautifulIsobel. But in taking him into her highly defended, buttressed walls, she has unwittingly given him secrets that will enable him to betray her. What would she do if she were ever to find out who he really is ?
Georgette Heyer novels formed Sophia James's reading tastes as a teenager. But her writing life only started when she was given a pile of Mills & Boons to read after she had had her wisdom teeth extracted! Filled with strong painkillers she imagined that she could pen one, too. Many drafts later Sophia thinks she has the perfect job writing for Harlequin Historical as well as taking art tours to Europe with her husband, who is a painter.

May 18th, 2011 · 37 Comments · Analysis and Comment, City Politics
Former Mayor Joe Ganim is still moving around, schmoozing potential supporters, meeting them for lunch. Some folks say he's definitely running for his old job, others say Joe's being coy, others aren't so sure. It's classic Joe creating a buzz. Even if he decides not to run it doesn't harm business for the family law practice […]

AP sources: Plan calls for ship to destroy weapons
WASHINGTON — Destroying Syria's deadliest chemical weapons on land would come with vexing diplomatic and security problems as well as environmental issues. To avoid those potential troubles, U.S. officials say, the Obama administration is exploring the use of a government-owned ship to carry out the disposal in international waters.

text: Presentation on Civil Society's Contribution to the ATT process in the Americas and the Caribbean By Folade Mutota At the Regional Seminar for countries in the Americas and the Caribbean on Supporting the Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations through Regional Discussions and Expertise Sharing April 27-29, 2011 Montevideo, Uruguay Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to our very important discussions from this podium this morning. My participation on this panel, I hope, signals intent to continue the engagement with civil society as experts and practitioners in the fields of human security, gender and development, sociology, security studies and international relations. I've been asked to apprise you about Civil Society's Contribution to the ATT process in the Americas and the Caribbean. As stated on the agenda, I represent the Caribbean Coalition for Development and the Reduction of Armed Violence 1|Page (CDRAV) which is a coalition of NGOs in twelve CARICOM Member States that are actively researching the causes and impact of armed violence and advocating for policy measures to alleviate and prevent armed violence across the region. CDRAV has collaborated with our NGO partners in the Americas on issues related to armed violence and the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Our representatives have served on the international Arms Trade Treaty Steering Committee and we contribute to the policy direction of the global movement for an ATT. Whilst Ambassador Sinclair of the CARICOM Secretariat will address this meeting in terms of what the ATT means for CARICOM, I wish to state that to date, the negotiating positions of our governments is aligned to our own thinking on how a comprehensive ATT can meet the needs of Caribbean people. Civil society advocacy in the Caribbean has been informed by action oriented research; policy round tables; consultations and collaboration with several governments in the region as well as regional authorities such as the CARICOM Secretariat and CARICOM IMPACS. CARICOM IMPACS is the regional crime and security agency. We have also campaigned to build public awareness about the need for a strong and robust ATT and about the process of agreeing an ATT in order to encourage 2|Page citizens to add their voice to the debate so that governments know what our expectations are. For CDRAV, and for civil society in the Americas, the imperatives are clear. A comprehensive arms trade treaty must be based on the pillars of international human rights law; international humanitarian law and sustainable development. From this standpoint we would argue that there is a nexus between security and development which is as old as the arms trade and further, that the principles of the United Nations Charter are there to protect and guide us in determining how we ensure that we do not trade one for the other. In the Caribbean, we have not begun to count the cost of gun violence in economic terms or for that matter, the social costs. What we do know, is that this violence which has invaded our lives is overwhelming us daily and is creating a blur on our prospects for sustainable peace. In my country, Trinidad and Tobago, when mothers lament the demise of their sons they say, somebody's missing, somebody's missing here today". For every "somebody" who´s missing as a result of gun violence it means the increased likelihood that women and families will be plunged into poverty. When somebody is missing, it adds to the burden of care which women are expected to 3|Page perform in families and communities and reduces women's chances for higher education and career advancement. Gender based violence is becoming more prevalent fuelled in part by easy access to firearms; impunity and unequal gender relations. It is unconscionable therefore to continue to rely on women to nurture families yet not protect women from violence in this treaty. The scourge of gun violence does not only take the life of the deceased person but wipes out families as hope and happiness is replaced by despair and anger. Anger left unresolved will ultimately return to haunt us and therein lies the recurrent cost to the state. The treaty will be incomplete for the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean if armed violence is not addressed. An arms trade treaty must save lives. It must save our lives, yours and mine. It is for this reason that civil society has lobbied governments, in the Caribbean and the Americas to negotiate an arms trade treaty that includes small arms and light weapons as well as ammunition. They cannot and must not be separated. Ammunition has proven to be a lethal force in Latin America and the Caribbean. The scope of this treaty must reflect the dynamism and the promise of our time. It must also acknowledge that whilst technology holds promise its misuse can have devastating effects on human development and this treaty gives 4|Page governments the opportunity to protect their populations from human error or corruption by ensuring that technology as well as the parts and components specially designed or modified for use in conventional arms are embedded in the arms trade treaty. The annual trade in arms is well beyond the national budgets of all CARICOM Member States and many in Latin America. In order to efficiently respond to the current nightmare of armed violence and the intended implementation of the arms trade treaty, international cooperation and assistance is vital. This has proven to be a most effective implementation strategy in other places. CDRAV has to date collaborated with CARICOM governments in Antigua and Barbuda and Trinidad and Tobago to jointly host three regional meetings to explore and agree strategies to promote issues of relevance to CARICOM countries in the debate and negotiations of the arms trade treaty. The fourth meeting will be held in June 2011. In 2008, a regional meeting on the ATT and sustainable development was held in collaboration with the government of Antigua and Barbuda and Oxfam to explore the relationship between the ATT and sustainable development. 5|Page The government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago co-sponsored two regional workshops on negotiations for the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in 2010 and 2011 along with the government of Australia. We support CARICOM's efforts to do all that is in its power to negotiate a legally binding robust treaty, including aligning itself with like minded states in Latin America and elsewhere. Our collaboration with governments extend beyond our region as we have formed a partnership with the government of Australia which has provided technical and financial resources for the meetings held in 2010 and 2011 immediately preceding the UN PrepComs 1 and 2 in New York. We are of the view that our strategy of research and advocacy has heightened awareness of the issues which are important to us and the international NGO community. In this regard, we wish to point you to our most recent proposal on implementation of the ATT in which we argue that implementation in its entirety, including the resourcing, development cooperation, challenges, monitoring and evaluation, must be thoroughly dissected looking forward and we have proposed the following strategies in order to do so. 6|Page With respect to CARICOM, harmonization of laws is required. We also propose a national implementation unit and an independent monitoring authority which can perhaps operate at the regional level. This structure will work in harmony with an international monitoring agency. Adequate funding and engaging civil society are equally important elements of the implementation process. In terms of our advocacy work, it is our view that our efforts to partner with CARICOM governments to pursue negotiations on an ATT in 2012 has successfully resulted in all CARICOM Member States supporting the process. We salute our governments for their vision and resolve. Civil society organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean have pioneered the thrust for an international legally binding treaty to control the trade in arms and in this regard, we wish to acknowledge the leadership of the Arias Foundation and its founder former President of Costa Rica Oscar Arias for the vision and determination that has brought us here today. We wish to salute the activists and campaigners in this region for their commitment to an ideal founded on respect for human rights and dedication to service. 7|Page Our thanks to the organizers of this seminar for acknowledging the contribution of civil society to the discourse on the arms trade treaty through research, policy briefs, campaigns, lobbying and facilitating meetings and events. We wish to thank UNIDIR and the European Union for having the foresight to host this seminar and our thanks to the Government of Uruguay for graciously hosting. Our sincere thanks to all of you for choosing to be here. www.cdrav.org 8|Page

Answers to Your Questions on Coding
Internists and their patients are likely to encounter problems in dealing with Medicare's myriad of rules and regulations. It is especially important that internists are able to select the procedure code that accurately indicates the service(s) provided and the diagnosis code(s).
In order to accomplish these tasks, internists need to understand both the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) coding systems. It is also essential that internists understand Medicare's billing rules and specific policies in order to minimize the administrative burden faced by their practice and avoid scrutiny from government auditors.

Apple is a company that spawns both rabid fans and haters.
But there's no denying that it's been enormously successful, and it just keeps on winning.
Part of that success, as we've said before, comes from the fact that the company is really just a huge startup -- with a corporate culture that is extremely engineer-focused, emphasizes minimal bureaucracy, and likes taking care of its people.
Sachin Agarwal learned a lot about Apple's management style during his days as an engineer. He worked at the company for 6 years, before leaving to start the simple blogging platform Posterous.
"I loved working there... [Choosing to leave] was a really hard decision," he says.
But, when he left, he made sure to take a few important management lessons with him, which have helped make Posterous successful as well.
Sachin Agarwal left Apple to launch Posterous. Here are the lessons he took with him.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
oh, i want a BIG magnifying glass so i can examine clouds, too ~grin~

Edward Fyers is the field commander for a mercenary unit deployed to Lian Yu shortly before Oliver Queen is stranded on it. By the time Oliver is on the island, Fyers is devoting much of his energies to hunting down Yao Fei. Oliver is eventually captured by Fyers' troops and tortured for information on Yao's wherabouts, but Yao manages to rescue Oliver and capture Fyers. Fyers offers to lead them to his private plane. As they proceed further into the jungle, Fyers tells Oliver that the island used to be a prison, used by the Chinese government to hold their most dangerous terrorists, which includes Yao. He reveals that they walked into a trap, as his troops orchestrate an ambush. Yao is captured, but Oliver escapes. Fyers manages to secure Yao's loyalty by using his daughter, Shado, and his real reason for being on the island is revealed, the island is a staging area for a large scale military operation, which includes ICBM launchers. Fyers reveals that his team has been hired by a powerful foreign interest seeking to destabilize the Chinese economy. They seek to accomplish this by using a SAM on a commercial airline bound for China, which the general public will believe to be an act of terrorism committed by Yao Fei. Fyers kills Yao, but Oliver, along with Shado and Slade Wilson, stop Fyers from launching the missile. Fyers becomes Oliver's first kill when he unsuccessfully attempts to use Shado as a hostage.
