Guess Who?
Guess who was courtside watching Roger Federer win the 2008 US Open?
Show Me the US Open Money!
The US Open drew to a close yesterday afternoon, as Roger Federer beat Andy Murray in three sets. Federer claimed his 13th grand slam victory and vowed to try to win another one, because staying at 13 would be so unlucky. On the women's side of things, Serena Williams rallied through two sets to beat Jelena Jankovic.
Will You Be Watching the US Open?
While I am loving the fashion of the US Open, it is the exciting tennis that keeps me watching — like the amazing quarterfinal battle between Venus and Serena. The women's final airs today at 8:00 p.m. EST, and the men's final will be Sunday at 4:00 p.m.
US Open Is a Fashion Grand Slam
As always, I am really enjoying the US Open right now. I love watching all the strong players battle it out on the court, but this year I am noticing an added element to the game: fashion.
Maybe it was because Anna Wintour has been frequenting the stands or because fashion week is just around the corner, but the tennis outfits are awesome this year.
Words That Move You . . .
"What defines a person's character is not how you are when you're on top. It's how you are when you're on the bottom and working your way back." — Serena Williams, in the August 2008 issue of Glamour
After taking home a gold medal in women's doubles at the Olympics, Serena Williams is moving on to the US Open this week.
Goodbye Olympics, Hello US Open!
Whether you're relieved or disappointed that the Olympics are over, you can now channel your sports watching elsewhere. The US Open kicks off today in New York!
I always love watching the Open: It's the only Grand Slam tournament held in the US, which makes it feel more familiar even if I can't sit courtside.

Unranked Mommy Kim Clijsters Wins US Open
Just like Paula Radcliffe illustrated that motherhood and winning marathons are not mutually exclusive, and just like Dara Torres proved you can come back after childbirth and win Olympic medals, tennis pro Kim Clijsters shows that you can come back and be a champion as well.
Clijsters retired from tennis in 2007 and gave birth to daughter Jada Ellie at the end of February 2008 after a tennis career winning the US Open in 2005, and making it to the finals in the Australian Open and the French Open. By no means a shabby career.

- Because significant depression can affect more than 50% of people with scleroderma, researchers say it may be beneficial for scleroderma patients to get routine screening for depression.
- Researchers have discovered a gene called connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF), which they say is more common in people with systemic scleroderma than in those without the disease.
- The prognosis for patients with systemic scleroderma has improved since the 1970s. Ten-year survival rates are up, and deaths from kidney crises have dropped. However, deaths from pulmonary fibrosis have increased during this time period.
- High-dose immunosuppressant therapy with cyclophosphamide significantly improved skin and overall function in patients with scleroderma.
