News for Women Physicians
Say "thank you" to someone who's made a difference
Acknowledge the people who have made a difference in your professional life by nominating them for the AMA Women Physicians Congress (WPC) Physician Mentor Recognition Program. The program is a unique way to recognize a professional colleague or teacher who has filled a special role in your life or career.
Nominations are due July 31; download a form today. In submitting a nomination, your mentor will be issued a special certificate and recognized in November during the Interim Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates.
Study determines gender pay disparity among physician researchers
Male physician researchers make about $12,000 more than their female counterparts, according to a study published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Building on past research that found disparities in pay between male and female physicians, this study by Reshma Jagsi, MD, and colleagues analyzed a homogenous cohort of 800 physician researchers. After adjusting for specialty, academic rank, leadership positions, publications and research time, the difference in salary between men and women was $12,194.

Artist and filmmaker Molly Schiot inadvertently launched her career while convalescing after a back injury during her senior year at Brown. To pass the long hours of physical rehab, the semiotics major and fellow patient Mariah Garnett conceived of an animated film with a marshmallow candy cast. "The best part was that we shot it in winter, and the Peeps were everywhere in sight. Some were on heaters, where the sugar would burn, and our workspace turned into an aromatic delight," Schiot recalls. After this sticky maiden voyage the New Hampshire-raised Schiot attended the Glasgow School of Art, going on to make music videos for Mark Ronson, the Raveonettes and Sleater Kinney; commercials for clients including Nokia, Converse and Levi's; and a series of video shorts for Paper. The multitalented Schiot—she also paints, takes photographs and illustrates—cites Miroslav Sasek, Sister Corita and Kenneth Anger among her influences. She lives in Los Angeles.

With injuries to key and experienced defensemen like Andrew Ference, Wade Redden, and most recently, Dennis Seidenberg, the Boston Bruins have had to rely on a group of young and inexperienced blueliners made up of 19-year-old Dougie Hamilton, 22-year-old Torey Krug, and 24-year-old Matt Bartkowski. All three have contributed this postseason and have found their names on the score sheet. Bartkowski scored the first goal of Game Seven against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Krug, who was called up from the Providence Bruins on Thursday in place of the injured Seidenberg, scored the game tying goal in Game One against the New York Rangers, a game the Bruins ended up winning in overtime, and Hamilton has an assist in the four games he has played.
"It's about giving them the confidence," coach Claude Julien said when asked about his young defensemen, "We have to trust that they're good enough in areas, that they're going to help us out and so far they've proven us right.
Krug would build upon his confidence and start the scoring for the Bruins as he collected a pass from Nathan Horton and snapped it past Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist 5:28 into the first period. This was Krug's second goal in as many post-season games, becoming just the fourth player and the first defenseman in Bruins team history to score a goal in both of his first two playoff games.
Krug also logged some crucial minutes on the penalty kill when Boston captain Zdeno Chara was whistled for slashing with just a little over two minutes left in the first period.
"Krug has been a good player for Providence," said Julien, "we liked what we saw in him last year and when he was called up."
Krug would register another point in the second period when he kept the play alive in the offensive zone, gathered the puck and fired it towards the net. The puck deflected off a New York defenseman's skate and found its way onto Gregory Campbell's stick, who promptly roofed a backhander past Lundqvist to give the Bruins a 2 to 1 lead.
"I come into this locker room very comfortable and calm. I get to watch some of the best professionals in the world prepare for games, like this, as if it's any other game, so I have a lot of guys to lean on and they all give me confidence back which is unbelievable," Krug said when asked about his confidence. He quickly added, "You have to be confident with the puck. If I'm not making plays I'm not effective and they're going to go out and find a 6 foot 2 defenseman that can do the same thing without the puck."
Thanks to the play of Krug and goals from Brad Marchand, Johnny Boychuk, and Milan Lucic the Bruins went on to beat the Rangers by a score of 5 to 2 and take a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series.
Coach Julien gave Krug some advice before he played in Game One, he told him, "Don't be afraid to mistakes." Krug obviously took that advice to heart and has played extremely well for Boston. If Krug continues to play this well, it's New York who should be afraid.

Awesome, Colorful Bag!
August 09, 2011
I purchased this bag for my 11 year old daughter who is in the sixth grade to use as her schoolbag this year. She picked it for it's color (Avalon) and messenger bag style. The bag is beautiful with it's colorful plaid outside and fun kiwi green inside. The inside of the bag comes with padding in one of it's compartments should she want to carry a laptop at some point. This was a definite plus. Also, there are two smaller pockets inside the outer compartment that are velour lined so she can carry an mp3 player or her cell phone without the faces becoming scratched. Another great added benefit. The shoulder strap is wonderful because you can adjust it according to her height. It is a great, simple, user-friendly bag. We were most impressed with it from the moment we unpacked it. Thank you Dakine & Altrec for providing a high-quality bag at a fair price for my daughter. Many thanks!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, beautiful colors

Churches and TV stardom for DLA man
Readers' comments (2)
I didn't think anyone else would be able to present a series on church buildings as beautifully, or as entertainingly as Paul Binski (Divine Designs), but Richard Taylor is a lovely presenter, and if anything, for me, this series surpasses Divine Designs.
Entrancing series and so refreshing to have a proper presenter who presents his facts with clarity, humour and enthusiasm without the modern habit of obliterating any information for the sake of presenting of only his 'personality'. His personality is all the more engaging for it!

Young Investigator AwardApply Now for a 2015 YIA Grant
The Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Young Investigator Award (YIA) provides funding to promising investigators to encourage and promote quality research in clinical oncology. The purpose of this award is to fund physicians during the transition from a fellowship program to a faculty appointment. The Young Investigator Award is intended to support proposals with a clinical research focus on cholangiocarcinoma.
Award: 2012-2013: $60,000 American Society of Clinical Oncology
Researcher: Supriya Saha, MD, PhD Massachusetts General Hospital
Aim: To raise awareness and trigger progress against cholangiocarcinoma, while providing critical early funding for physician-scientists at the beginning of their careers
Purpose: To develop animal models, including gene mutations, to better understand cholangiocarcinoma in humans
Goal: To publish findings to promote interest in scientific community and encourage investigators to focus their careers on bile duct cancer
"Even though thousands of new patients are diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma each year in the United States alone, many patients have only heard of the disease for the first time upon diagnosis. Unfortunately, the lack of national attention and publicity that this important disease receives means that there are only very limited funding opportunities available. The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is playing an absolutely critical role, not only in reversing that lack of national attention but also in funding research specifically aimed at helping patients with this diagnosis. The Young Investigator Award that I received has been critical in making our foundational efforts possible. With this funding, we have compiled what we believe is the largest cholangiocarcinoma cell line bank in the world and implemented a collaborative effort to generate more cell lines that have been genetically characterized. In addition to a number of other studies, we used these funds to hire technician support which effectively doubled our research efforts and allowed us to develop and characterize a new mouse model of cholangiocarcinoma that can be used both to understand the fundamental mechanisms that cause cholangiocarcinoma but also to rapidly test novel potential therapies against this disease. We hope that our work, funded by the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, will have a "multiplier effect," encouraging other scientists to focus on biliary cancers as well as other philanthropic organizations to join the cause. In short, I am extremely grateful to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation for their absolutely critical support of our work." Supriya Saha, MD, PhD Massachusetts General Hospital
"I am very grateful to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation for supporting Dr. Supriya Saha through the Young Investigator Award. Dr. Saha is an outstanding physician-scientist who has made a deep commitment to studying cholangiocarcinoma. He has developed an impressive series of model systems that are key to solving the biological and genetic processes that go awry during the progression of this cancer type. Dr. Saha has already made important insights into one of the major gene mutations found in cholangiocarcinoma patients. With these insights and model systems in hand, he is poised to make the important next step of defining ways to combat this terrible disease. The support from the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation has been vital in helping him to create this impressive program." Dr. Nabeel Bardeesy Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center
Award: 2011-2012: $57,500 American Society of Clinical Oncology
Researcher: Flavio G. Rocha, MD, FACS Virginia Mason Medical Center
Aim: To raise awareness and trigger progress against cholangiocarcinoma, while providing critical early funding for physician-scientists at the beginning of their careers
- To identify biomarkers (CEACAM6 ) that can be used for diagnosis, prognosis and as potential targets for the development of novel therapies
- To collect fluid from bile ducts to compare the levels of tumor markers and their association with presence and extent of cholangiocarcinoma
- To help place patients in the appropriate clinical trials.
- To design better imaging tools
- To develop new drugs to kill cancer cells
"As a surgical oncology fellow at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, I became interested in the surgical management of cholangiocarcinoma but was discouraged by the minority of patients I could help with an operation. I realized that early detection is critical and that current diagnostic techniques were unreliable. Therefore, I proposed to study proteins in the bile of patients with cholangiocarcinoma to identify novel tumor biomarkers. With funding from an ASCO Young Investigator Award, I established a bile bank. Upon moving to a faculty position at Virginia Mason, we identified a protein, CEACAM6, is secreted in significant quantities in the bile of cholangiocarcinoma patients compared to those with benign biliary disease. It is currently being investigated as a tumor biomarker in a prospective clinical trial. I was absolutely thrilled to develop a research idea from the laboratory to clinical application. I am indebted to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation for providing me with the initial support to launch my academic career and help find better treatments for cholangiocarcinoma patients." Flavio G. Rocha, MD, FACS Virginia Mason Medical Center
Long-term International Fellowship (LIFe)
2011-2012: $60,000

To determine differences in genetic profiles due to the presence of liver fluke
To use microRNA expression patterns to investigate their relevance in cancer therapy and prognosis

You have to start busting out the record books to appreciate what this has been like for Aldridge. On Sunday he became the first player in franchise history to score 36 or more in three straight games. In those three, he's shot 63 percent from the field (41-65), and 84 percent (33-39) from the free-throw line.
Wow that was fast. We wouldn't be struggling so much if we could get some rebounds. We need Marcus. What wa with Andre and 9 turnovers. LMA makes it all moot by being so dominating.
Really nice blog Mike..
Andre must have wanted a triple-double today. Glad he didn't quite make it.
Melo had a good week although his team did not do as well
LaMarcus was LaMazing. i'm beginning to think of the irony at the end of february if he's named western conference player of the month during the month he was snubbed for the all-star team. yes, i know that may be getting ahead of things, but he definitely should be named player of the week. he's averaged 38.3 points per game in three games this week and his team won all those games. another stat of note is the fact that in those games he's averaged 26.0 points in the second half.in any other league, that would be an automatic.Lamarcus was exceptional, and i thought Wesley played a very nice game and was very effective on both ends of the floor. Andre was finding the open man and ended with 11 assists. while the game got tight in the fourth, we fended off the pistons and got the job done. that's what good teams do and we are a good team.i'm looking forward to seeing Aldridge-Love IV. LaMarcus doesn't show it, but i think he'll be motivated to show who really should be in the asg, to sweep the t-wolves and come back from this road trip 3-0. i think that will happen.~ Kassandra
LA may not say so, but he sure has been playing with an enormous chip on his shoulder since his all star snub; sure can't wait to see how he does when Brandon and Marcus return, likely after the break.
Great to hear from you Mike: As usual, I took time off of work to watch the game: then I had to rush out and finish the day, so your updates and quick post are important to me.I agree with Miss Kassandra that we will win all three games in this road trip. I think LMA will go after some Love at Minny. Of course I am hoping it is hard Love. The team has a purpose to keep focused with Memphis breathing down our neck and Denver and Utah falling off. This is getting to be the worry part of the year, and also the exciting part of the year.I feel with Camby and BRoy coming back soon, we will have enough players and bench to make it to the Play-offs. We have some rough games ahead according to EA. but with a bigger crew and LMA hitting on all cylinders things could get great fast. The team is starting to grow on me again, because I really had very little doubt about the outcome of the game.Thanks again for the Blog Mike.I must be
correction: Andre had 12 assists along with 15 points. and Patty led the bench with nine.some notes: the blazers own the longest current winning streak (four games) in the league. Joel led the team with three blocks and a +12 efficiency rating. Patty led bench scoring with nine points.~ Kassandra
Man another month of this kind of play and people will change their chants from All-Star to Super-Star. This week was a top 5 talent week and i think he can sustain a lot of what he keeps bringing to games. hey does anyone else like it that LA just looks happy when he hits clutch shots? All the other stars just look kinda angry and pretend like that shot was nothing (intimidating yes), but LA is beaming when he hits those which only makes the shot better IMO.
P.S. your commitment to detail is admirable Kassandra, to have the presence of mind to come back and correct a blog post so quickly.
Kassandra:Do you know on your post, if you go to the bottom of your post and click on edit you can make corrections in your original post. I love that especially with by leaving words out and spelling badly.
TayC! Where you at brudda? It's a bit early in the season for playoff eyeballin' but somethin's happenin'. Right now. Can't protect two months from now without protectin' right now and the Blazers are doin' it. LMA though...four boards? Homie don't play dat...good win guys. FTs kept the Pistons in the game in the third and sealed the deal for Blazers. Can't feel bad about it. Not one bit.
This was a pretty nice win. I was reasonably confident throughout, but found myself yelling at the screen a bit after a couple of Andre's bad fourth-quarter turnovers. Yelled a bit earlier in frustration when Beloved Barrett came out with his "while the Blazers stand around" refrain a time too often. I'm frustrated too with the team giving up so many offensive boards, but it seems like MBs impatience always peaks at the moment of a freak bounce when our guys really are moving toward the ball, but just lack sufficient ESP to track the crazy trajectory. We lack the bodies, sometimes we lack the concentration, and yes, sometimes the other team is outworking us, but intermingled in there are the ones that add insult to injury, the unlucky bounces that just catch everyone going the wrong way. On a happier note, Lappinoir's comment on LA's smile after making a big shot reminded me of the huge grin LaMarcus had after he drew that charge late in the game the other night. To smile after making a shot is one thing; but to come up grinning after getting run down and knocked on your rear is something else, another little clue about why this team keeps winning and keeps being fun to watch.
MIkePLEASE... dont talk about the nationally televised games!!!!!!Often times... other games are covered by ABC, TNT, or ESPN... during the blazers games... or shortly beforehand. Being the crazy blazer fan I am, i DEFINITALY watch the Blazer game first.. and DVR the others.. All too often, and it's usually "Coach"... you guys decide to reveal the games outcome, i SCREEEEAAAAAMMMMM at the tv.. especially when it's good match-ups like LA and Orlando(the one you revealed.....) or Heat and Boston..PLEASE... PRETTY PLEASE.. if you must.. talk about the nbatv games.. but NOT the nationally televised ones us broke folks get to watch.How about that Player of the Week?!GO BLAZERS!!
Excellent road win!I have to agree with shynz0r about LA's rebounds or lack of. 4? When he's playing center part of the game? Heck a SF and SG had more rebounds. That is what takes away nationally from his game when people look at PFs numbers. I think if he got more national attention and people seen how he carries the team and how clutch his shots are it'd be different.Oh, Kass, funny on the edit. :)
After returning as a blazer fan, post jailblazer era, I have been amazed by the overachieving and optimistic attitude that flows from this motley crew. There is something special about Nate and the people he surrounds himself with. I know from my own experiences on the court, it is not trivial to excel when so much of your core is down. The margin for error is razor thin...for this team to actually believe and execute is even thinner. Somehow, these guys have found a way to inspire me to set my DVR for each game. I must be a putz tho since no one gives them a chance to run for the title. To this I would say, I do love an underdog.... and an underdog that kicks butt on a regular basis at that!
Right there with ya mgb. Of course the Blazers are shooting well lately but every time a board came down over the waves through Wheels and it wasn't in LA's hands I cringed. He's gettin' wingspan rebounds lately. Start boxin out big brotha and followin' every shot on the floor! Ahh hell, I'll love ya either way. I'm just a defensive end snob so don't take it personal like, oy?Lol EDIT button is the only thing that's prevented World War III so far. I hope whomever came up with it is drunk and floatin' somewhere happy on a yacht.
"The difference in this game was Aldridge, Aldridge and Aldridge," Pistons coach John Kuester said. "When they needed something else, they ran a play for LaMarcus Aldridge."
via: (AP) SI.com
LA is just playin amazing...I mean were witnessing some well played basketball by our power forward. Hoping to see a 3-0 road trip. That should give us a nice boost, I could say more but its late and theres not much else to say, we won.
So, best powerforward in the league? I expect "MVP" chants when he's at the line. He deserves to be there, especially if freaking Blake Griffin was on there. Let's boycott the All-Star game, or pray that Anthony gets traded ASAP. LaMarcus should be a lock. Thanks David Stern. Hope you watch the game tomorrow!
Gotta love them Blazers! LaMarcus is playing out of his head. And how about Matthews. That guy is a rock. Miller had 9 turnovers but that's gonna happen sometimes. Gotta take the good with the bad. He's more good for sure.Go Blazers!
LMA was guarded by the rebounding champion, Ben Wallace and only gets 36 pts and 4 rebounds and MGB and shynzOr slaps him for only 4 rebounds when we are playing in Detroit where Ben can throw LMA out of the way without getting a foul. I am with thedanman welcome to the NBA where the good and the bad happens and LMA is more good then bad for sure, along with Batum, Rudy, Dre and Dante. Do you supposed that LMA may have been down playing this game because he wants to save his energy for some love on valintines day. This is not a malicious post, but agreed as stated by EA I am somewhat defensive of all our Blazer players. I do agree that the lack of rebounding was almost crucial to us, but we won with some excellent defense and shooting by LMA, and Wesley. That is what counts.I hope LMA proves me right in Minny tonight.
Hg,Defending is one thing, but no player is beyond criticism. If you read what I said I said that nationally it's going to look like he's a one trick pony. Only if it was a national game would nationally people know how clutch he was and important to the win.
I am not above giving criticism to players, I was just giving Ben Wallace some props. Actually I don't care what the national media says, Griffin could come out with no game what so ever and they would not cut him for having a bad game. I am not knocking you, I am knocking the national media. I have long ago quit caring what they have to say. That also includes local media.
i'm quoting canzano. i can't believe it..."The 'consulting surgeon' whispers that he believes the best-case strategy for handling Roy is this: A) Limit Roy's practice reps to almost nothing; B) Play him off the bench in 65-75 or so games a season, choosing rest in key spots; C) pray.Surgeon suspects the Blazers might get 1-2 years out of Roy employing this strategy. Right now, I think they'd take that, and hope for the best. Roy is a fierce competitor and I won't count him out.Roy says he's thinking of making a Feb. 16 return. I don't know if you'll find a soul pulling against the guy."i think they should target something more like 50 games a year off the bench, with the priority being good health in the post-season. if you have a 2 guard/sf rotation with wesley, rudy, brandon, nic & splashes of dante, there is more than enough to cover the absences. i was for this type of strategy for quite some time. the addition of wesley matthews makes this all viable. what i don't understand is why it is so taboo or vilified to have a reduced load for guys who have known knee problems. keeping a group of guys working together means the kobe's of the world have to fight off 4 or 5 world class competitors by themselves. it is the wealth of riches that you'd expect from PA.
Lamarcus is not a big rebounder, he's just not and no one should ever expect him to be. There is such a thing as expecting too much. I understand leveling some critique at a player, like Wesley's inconsistency or Nico's hesitancy/inconsistent focus, even when they have had a good game, but I don't get finding the one weakness in a player's game who just made Trailblazer history and won POW for the second straight time. Here's some perspective:LA's Rebound Rate is 13.9, tied for 37th among all PFs in the league with Paul Milsap. Marcus Camby is #2 with 23.7 (he's #2 in all positions as well). Marcus has almost DOUBLE the rate as LA. Guys like Love, Griffin, and ZBo are in the top 10, BUT....they are the #1 rebounders on their respective teams.He ties for 25th place among all PFs for ORR with 10.5 (out of 77) and is 49th in DRR with 17.5 (Camby is #1 in this stat at a whopping 35.3!!!) - these are the Hollinger stats btw.Honestly, with Camby on the team, even when he is not playing, evaluating LA's rebounding seems unfair. Personally, I think stuff like the Usage stat provides a more accurate reflection of what a player is actually doing for their team, along with PER. Lamarcus ranks 7th among all PFs at 24.3 USG and is 6th among all PFs at 21.79 PER. And if you use the NBA's PT/RB/AST stat, he's 15th among ALL players at 33.1, as well as the 15th leading scorer among ALL players at 22.1. He's also currently at 23.2 EFF, which ranks 14th among ALL players and 6th among SF-PFs (4th among PFs). He's fourth on the Dunk list, with 101 and has the 7th most double-doubles in the league (those would be all in the scoring-rebounding department). Finally, in the 6 games before this one, he had 10+ rebounds in 4 of them, with the other two being 9 and 8. Sure, he could probably rebound a little more from time to time, but pointing that out is truly looking for the speck of dirt on your shiny new penny! Just sayin'....
it's official -- LaMarcus Aldridge has been named western conference player of the week for feb. 7-13 (Dwight Howard was named for the eastern conference). there really was no doubt, but a little bit ago the league made it official:http://www.nba.com/2011/news/02/14/players-of-week-lamarcus-aldridge-dwight-howard/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2very, very well-deserved.~ Kassandra
I've started an LMA MVP blog for those interested!!http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/1684/IamaUserID/25607/Default.aspxPLZ JOIN!!Gratz LA!!Go Blazers!!!
Kassandra:I listened to the Up and Adam show again this morning and even Scott Zachary had some good things to say about you. You are becoming so popular that you will have to be a guest on the Up and Adams show. Anyway, that only proves me right about you, if it wasn't for your lawyer's love you would be a great BB analysis. I know that is not your cup of tea.
EA,The same argument you are making could have been made last year of LA saying he's just not a inside player, but is valuable as a outside thread. Look at him now. While I would agree with you if Camby was playing and getting the rebounds I don't with Camby being out that you shouldn't judge LA by rebounds especially when he's playing center a lot.The one excuse I've heard and one I thought of before is that LA is running out for a fast break, kind of like guards do, once the ball is shot and the same could be to get back on D.Anyway, I'm quite happy for LA to get POW so he'll get the recognition he deserves. You wouldn't know it, but I've always defended LA in the past when he's been called soft because I never felt he was.
MGB: Regardless, I think it's nit-picky. Simple as that. The argument was about LA being one-dimensional in season's past. I don't think that's the argument now. Now, it's likely coming down to a perception that LA doesn't rebound enough, and that's why he's not getting the recognition he deserves. I dispute that and can come up with solid, popular, respectable players at the PF who don't rebound in a superior way but have stellar games anyway, and coincidentally, are All-Stars. I am not saying that LA can't rebound well, just that I don't think it's his focus or his top concern. Maybe as time goes on, he will find that, but it's just not there now. Basically, my concern here is that we are a very short two months into LA being a dominant inside first-option player and fans are already complaining he's not doing enough! I think that is straight ridiculous.One of the very few things bringing me honest joy at the moment is watching LA do what he is doing. It's gorgeous basketball, super-star basketball, and I just can't believe anyone is leveling any sort of criticism at him right now :)
Was tonight the coming out party for Dante? Even with all he did, he was still playing well within himself. I think his confidence has reached the point where he feels he belongs on the court on his own merit, not just due to injuries to those ahead of him on the depth chart. Nate is going to have serious rotation decisions to make when Marcus and BRoy come back -- whose minutes will get cut and by how much?
scoreboard watcher here...standings now have the blazers as 6th in the west, 1/2 game ahead of denver and a 2-1 head-to-head tiebreaker up on the jazz (who currently have the same record).i know that i often have the rose city colored glasses on, but who in the west would want to play portland in the playoffs when you add a touch of roy and camby? maybe it's the 5 game win streak talking, or maybe the fact that 3 'wolves starters didn't convert a field goal against the blazers tonight, but i think things are coming together nicely.speaking of which, how about coach nate being given an extension? he put dante in position to outplay k. love in less than 2/3 the minutes. he keeps the guys motivated, ready to play & on the same pace from last season's 50 win team. continuity is worth a lot.lastly, i think darko might have some hurt feelings after being dunked on by nic. on the batum-shaka-laka meter, that was a 10 across the board (except the yugoslavian judge who scored it a 5.2).
Another win in Minny. Loved it when Love got hit in the face by LaMarcus' slap of the ball. Cracked me up. We're now 6th seed. Let's go for 4th!
Ya, Herr, that was great! :)http://www.nba.com/blazers/tbtv/video.html?videoID=1060

TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens tight end Ed Dickson will miss the rest of the preseason but is expected back for the season opener with a shoulder injury. Dickson left Thursday's exhibition win over the Atlanta Falcons opener because of the injury but an MRI Friday revealed no structural damage, according to the Baltimore Sun. Dickson caught two passes for 15 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter of the 31-17 victory. Also, Ravens defensive end Ryan McBean, who is suspended for the first three games of the season, broke an ankle in Thursday's game and will meet with a doctor on Monday. The Ravens host the Bengals on Sept. 10.

Do you remember when you first started blogging why you chose your current blogging platform, like Blogger, Serendipity, TypePad or Moveable Type? Was it because it was what your friends used? Did it seem like the easiest one? The cheapest? Did you grab the first one you came to and stuck with it because change is scary? It's easy to get used to something, and when it took you a while to learn something in the first place, like how to work your way around TypePad, it may not seem worthwhile to make a change later on. But it is. Particularly if you're not already using WordPress.org (the self-hosted version).
With WordPress, there will always be some help around. Just take a look at this:
"WordPress" is the #1 search query when people are looking for a content management system. It overtook all its competitors. That does not only mean WordPress has become incredibly popular, but there's also a strong community behind it. More and more developers and designers join the WordPress community, constantly adding new functions and designs. While other platforms stand still or decline, Wordpress keeps going, extending its lead.
So did I mention flexibility? Basically anything you want to do with your blog – make it look like a Website, paginate blog posts, etc. – you can find a plug-in or a template to do it. And you're not confined to WordPress tools. The Internet abounds with plenty of free themes (such as at thebuckmaker.com), plug-ins and widgets that will work perfectly to customize your WordPress blog. Plus, WordPress is an open source software which means you can use it for free as long as you have a place to host your blog.
WordPress (.org) is the content management system that offers you the most flexibility for the least amount of effort. That's something worth changing for.
Here's how to start your self-hosted WordPress Blog.
