    I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this, but I'm going to do it anyways because it has the most viewers.

    Besides being an avid Blazers fan, I'm also an avid Mariners fan and follow a blog called USSMariner very closely.

    The owner the the blog, David Cameron, does an absolutely great job covering the Mariners. I mean great.

    He has recently been nominated for a $10,000 scholarship blog that will be decided by votes by 12PST tonight. He is currently behind the leader by about 700 votes. Dave has just been married and could really use this money as a student.

    To vote, go to http://www.collegescholarships.org/blog/ and select David Cameron. It takes 5 seconds.

    It truly is a great blog, and he could really use the scholarship.

    To legitimize this, ESPN's Keith Law reads the blog, and has himself encouraged people to vote for Dave in his chat today: http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=23724

    Sorry if this needs to be moved. We just need the votes.

    You said Justin Varner, right?

    Joking. Felt generous and helped out. Good luck to him.

    I want my cut though! ;)

    Voted for your buddy.

    In return, I want you and David to go to www.nba.com every day and vote for Brandon for the All Star team.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    USS Mariner is a great blog. I read it and I'm not even a Mariners fan (A's fan). It's just really well-written and intelligent. Cameron also does great work on FanGraphs.com.

    You have to click the link to vote and then the list of names is shown with a radio button to select his name.

    I voted. The radio buttons do not work in FireFox. When I opened the link in IE it worked fine.

    Good luck.

    I'm going to post this on Blog a Bull, so that might be enough to carry him the win. Post it on O-Live too.

    I just voted for him. Looks like he's losing ground though. :(

    Looks like it isn't going to happen. The other guy has posted his link on dailykos.com, people who agree with his views. Sad. There's been some pretty ugly and untrue things said.

    Thanks for the help though everyone.
