Freshman right-hander Alyssa Heinrich stole the show on senior night Thursday, leading Wando to an 11-1 home win over Bishop England.
Heinrich earned her 100th career strikeout in the third inning, picking up 11 total on the night. She allowed just one earned run off three hits with no walks through five innings in the Warriors' regular-season finale.
Wando (15-8) entered the bottom of the fifth with a nine-run lead, needing just one run to end the game. Monica Schindwolf delivered the win on the third pitch she saw with a single to score Morgan Howard. Schindwolf and Howard both finished 2 for 3 with three RBIs to lead Wando at the plate. Howard added two runs scored.
Bishop England walked five batters in the first inning to help Wando to five runs. The Bishops walked the first four straight. Howard reached off an outfield error while Heinrich scored. Brooke Gilbert singled to score Kayla Bannister. Sydney Segars was walked home and Howard scored off a fielder's choice.
Elena Salmorin sparked Bishop England in the top of the third with a two-out single. Salmorin stole second to move into scoring position for Eran Artigues who drove her home with an RBI single. Artigues led the Lady Bishops offense, hitting 2 for 2 with one RBI.
Wando responded with four runs in the bottom frame to open a 10-1 lead. The Warriors scored twice off walks before Schindwolf hit a two-out, two-run single to score Abbie Ryder and Casey Morrison.
Bishop England closes out its regular season slate Monday at home against Academic Magnet. Wando hosts Beaufort Thursday in the opening round of the Class AAAA playoffs.

Two men, ages 22 and 31, were involved in a shooting that is under investigation by the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office.
The men apparently shot one another, according to a BCSO report.
According to the report, which was released Wednesday afternoon by BCSO spokesman Dan Moon, a uniformed BCSO deputy responded to the area of Smalls Hill Road and Old Back River Road in Goose Creek in reference to a shooting early Wednesday morning.
The first victim was found laying on his side on an embankment in the woods, according to the incident report. A single gunshot wound was seen in the victims stomach. A small pistol was found under his leg, the report said.
The report said that the victim identified his accuser as a man named D he met to discuss buying a speaker.
A second victim was also located. It is not clear how many times each man was shot. Both men were hospitalized, according to the report.
An attempted murder charge could be forthcoming in the case, which is under investigation.

Off to College Alone, Shadowed by Mental Illness
December 11, 2006
This 3,500 word article appeared on the front page of Friday's New York Times. It is part of a series the Times is doing on children and mental health. This is the fourth in a series of articles about the increasing number of children whose problems are diagnosed as serious mental disorders. The earlier articles examined one family's experience, the uncertainty of diagnosis, and the use of combinations of psychiatric drugs. Later articles will look at the role of parents.
For this article, reporter Lynette Clemetson worked with different NAMI families, and NAMI members Stacy Hollingsworth and Robert C. Haggard III about their experiences with mental illness. In this article, the students discuss the importance of NAMI in their recovery process, especially NAMI on Campus.
In the online version of the article, there is more information about NAMI's campus programs and a video segment profiling Hollingsworth. When this appeared in the Times on Friday, it was the top of the "Most Emailed Articles" list.

Bizness- I hope you read this and understand that I worry about you,I'm not puting you down.Don't laugh,because it's all true. I have known these men for 30 years.Jesse,integrity,thats not a word he really does possess. belive me when I say yes, friends from day one. JESSE know's all and he's had every chance to stop him. But he covered. Simply because Bobby has so much dirt on people,and trust me when I say he does. For example, the day Bobby walked into that court room to do Mike in. Jones,Hansen, Dave and the others did his bidding.You know they would'nt even speak to us. I can't tell you how disapointed I was, truely no respect for the uniform they wore,or years gone by. . Ican asure you Jesse's Tom's,Bobby's and even Boobers past gives them no right to judge. The department has never been great,good YES. Room for improvement,always. So I hope you take this and don't be so quick to think some are perfect. None of us are. Good By. Best of Luck.

Biz: You asked what Jesse could of done?
1. Turn his resignation in 2010 when he was disgusted. Make it clear why he was quitting 2. Go to the County Commission and make a complaint 3. Make Bobby change his behavior 4. Tell Bobbys wife what he was up to

Bizness: in the Fall of 2010 I was told by a County employee that is very close friends with Bobby that Jesse had told her that he had enough of BS's bad behaviour and was looking to get out. This woman isnt one to lie. This about the time that park/scandal broke and Shirley was implicated. A month later the MDH beating took. Jesse knew what Bobby was and did nothing. I like Jesse and would have a beer w him but he stood by and let people get hurt.

I'm done standing by and reading this garbage. Pheniox... You have a terrible attitude. Obviously not everyone is involved in the cover up if he tried to intimidate a witness from the sheriffs dept. In fact anyone that knows Bobby knows he's a vindictive and mean person... Why would anyone stick their neck out when he's been getting away with stuff for 30 years. Jesse and Bobby are best friends??? That made me laugh out loud. Anyone that knows Jesse knows that he's has the highest level of integrity and one of the nicest persons you could know. Stop dragging his name into the mud. Bobby was the boss... What did you want Jesse to do... People of authority (Jesse wasn't one of them) on the county level have been notified of Bobby's misconduct. Nothing was done! What could Jesse have done?
Jefferson County has a great sheriffs department. Remember Bobby was a politician and not representative of the rank and file of the department.

Kobe, just wanted to say your exactly right. Earl went after the job,did what was right against all odds.Reba M. was on her broom trying to keep shirley there,praising his name everywhere,then the c. commision members not doing one thing to discourage his lies. they new it from the beginning to the end. He from the very least should have not been working. Now people just want to crawl out of the woodwork to take the job. sure no money out, no time and hard work. An this when EARL got 10,216 votes out of 21,000. They put a knife in his back,an twisted it. ALL OF THEM. Their all no count!!

The only way to find a person who is not part of all the cover up's is to find someone from out west, everyone local and everyone past and present in the sheriffs dept. or county goverment are all part of all the cover up's, that's just plain and simple common sence !

"Also I suspect you cannot detain someone unless they are under arrest."
This is simply false. Detained means you have NOT formally been arrested for a crime but are being held for questioning and not permitted to leave. i.e If you have ever been pulled over for speeding you have been detained.
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Perhaps we are paying $60,000 because "the Bank of Charles Town had seen the plaintiffs in the area after the arrest and 'thought you two were with the guy,'" according to the criminal complaint." It is hard for you TWO to be THE guy. Also I suspect you cannot detain someone unless they are under arrest.

The same group of nudnicks that should have leaned on Bobby and convinced him not to run again are now going to make a decision to replace him. Well good luck with that. This egomaniac's legacy will be long lasting. Personally, I feel as though Mr. Ballenger is a victim for having wasted his time and energy making an honest run for a position he deserved to serve in no less than the numb nut that was re-elected.

Charles Town Police and Jefferson County Sheriff are two different things. However, I am stumped as to why the taxpayers are giving two individuals 60k. The bank manager of the Bank of Charles Town identified them as the suspect. The article doesn't say what the police did wrong. When a bank manager says that's the guy, you can't question him for a couple of hours to determine he is not the criminal?

No matter who they put in charge of the sheriff's office , that dept. and all others in the county will never have any respect from the public. The dirty dealing cops in this area all need to be cleaned out , thrown out and hire people who know the true meaning of " serve and protect " for what it's meant to mean not what the dirty cops think it is, I serve and I'm protected by the good ole boys.

A Phonebone is phone sex between two real people. Not phone sex beteen a person and a (fantasy) operator. A Phonebone is real phone sex - real masturbation, real moans and real orgasms. Usually a phonebone is between a a couple in a relationship. But sometime, and often times its between two strangers who get into a private conversation over a chatline, such as Intimate Encounters adult chatline (1-800-627-4263). Chatlines are where hot girls call in search of guys for annonymous phone sex with guys that turn them on.

The Stetson men's basketball team (9-10, 6-2) led wire-to-wire in an 85-69 victory over visiting Lipscomb (7-11, 2-5) on Saturday afternoon at the Edmunds Center. It marked the fifth straight win for the Hatters, who remain on top of the Atlantic Sun Conference standings with a league mark of 6-2.
Five wins in a row is the most for Stetson since the 2007-08 season, and it is the first time since 2005-06 that the Hatters have won five straight A-Sun contests. Leading Mercer and Jacksonville by half a game in the standings, Stetson's 6-2 league record is the Hatters' best start to the conference slate since the 1998-99 campaign.
"We aren't celebrating yet," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said after Saturday's game. "There's a whole lot of basketball left to be played, but I'm just happy for the Hatter fans who have been able to watch some wins here recently."
The Bisons never led in the contest, but Lipscomb gave Stetson all it could handle after topping Florida Gulf Coast in overtime on Thursday night. "That was quite a battle," Alexander said. "Sixteen-point differential at the end I don't think is quite the reflection of really how tough that game was. I'm proud of our guys for standing up and taking the fight."
Just as the Hatters have in each of the last five games during their current streak, they opened the scoring on Saturday. It was senior Adam Pegg with one of his two three-pointers of the game that gave Stetson the early advantage that it never relinquished.
Outscoring the Bisons 16-3 starting with a jumper in the lane by junior Chris Perez at the 11:22 mark, and culminating on a free throw by the same Hatter guard over seven minutes later, Stetson jumped out to a commanding 15-point lead late in the first half. Perez and junior Willie Green ignited the stretch, scoring seven points and six points, respectively.
Lipscomb used a 12-3 run to cut the Stetson advantage to just seven points, 36-29, at the break. The Bisons were staying in the game with offensive rebounding, recording seven in the first half alone, but a paltry 1-for-7 from beyond the arc allowed Stetson to remain in control.
The Hatters gave up a little ground to start the second half, as Lipscomb continued to ship away at Stetson's lead, using an 8-2 run to get as close as three point, at 49-46 with 13:33 to play in the game. Stetson fired straight back, though, scoring eight straight points on a three by junior Aaron Graham, as well as a put-back and a triple by Pegg. Stetson led by 11 points, its first double-digit lead of the second half.
The Bisons would only get as close as seven points the rest of the way, as Stetson countered every Lipscomb run, and nearly every Lipscomb basket, with one of their own. The Hatters went on to take the 85-69 victory, snapping a three-game losing streak against the Bisons.
"There are a lot of different ways you can measure it," Alexander said of withstanding runs. "But the belief that you're going to win the game, or the belief that you're the better team whether you are or not, helps you withstand those circumstances. You just overcome them easier, instead of compounding the problem with another mistake. That's a great sign of where we're heading."
Stetson put five players in double figures for only the second time this season, with Perez's 21 points leading the way. The guard added seven rebounds, six of which were on the offensive end, and two steals in the victory.
Pegg added 20 points and 10 rebounds in recording his second double-double of the season. It marked the fourth of his career, and it was the first 20-10 game for a Hatter since Pegg totaled 24 points and 10 rebounds against FGCU 364 days ago.
However, it was Pegg's defense on Lipscomb's freshman standout Stephen Hurt that may have been more impressive. The 6-10, 185 pound Hurt came in averaging 12.1 points and 8.4 rebounds with three A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors and six double-doubles to his credit in his first season of competition. Pegg held Hurt to seven points and five rebounds.
"I think he took it as a challenge, personally, which you have to do when somebody's coming in that has the numbers he has," Alexander said of his center. "That was good to see. It's what you want. You want your fifth year senior to be the better guy over the second year freshman."
Graham finished with 16 points on four three-pointers, including two in the final nine minutes of play to help seal the victory. Adding three assists without a single turnover, Graham came up big for the Hatters. His 45 triples lead the Hatters on the season, and his 145 career threes place him fifth all-time at Stetson.
"That's his strength," Alexander said of Graham's three-point shooting. "He's the best we've got, so he needs to know that we have all the confidence in the world in him, and that's what we expect him to do. He's going to miss some, but he's going to make a lot of big ones."
Senior Joel Naburgs added 13 points and five assists, while Green added 10 points to give the Hatters five players in double figures. Alexander led Lipscomb with 23 points, while Khion Sankey and Malcolm Smith chipped in with 10 points each.
Stetson will now prepare for a three-game road trip within the state of Florida. The Hatters play at FGCU on Friday, Jan. 25 on CSS and ESPN3, at Jacksonville on Thursday, Jan. 31, and at North Florida on Saturday, Feb. 2.

The faculty and staff at Randolph Technical Center in Elkins have plenty of reasons to celebrate - they have 10 Future Business Leaders of America students who participated in a national competition, not to mention an instructor selected as Outstanding Business Education Instructor of the year.
Donald Johnson, director of career and technical education at Randolph Technical Center, said he is proud of the students who competed in the FBLA National Leadership Conference this summer.
"Our Future Business Leaders of America students were excellent representatives for our school and for West Virginia," Johnson said. "Students that score in the top 10 in the nation are definitely outstanding and we are proud of them."
Students Daniel Toney, Aaron Nelan and Dylan Shannon placed sixth in the National FBLA competition in computer game and simulation programming. The competition, in Anaheim, Calif., drew more than 7,000 students from across the United States and U.S. territories. Randolph Technical Center students competing in California include Toney, Nelan, Shannon, Devan Collins, David Tighe, Jennifer Daniels, Colleen Webley, Colleen Cunningham, Gretchen Keller and Meghann Tenney.
"Traveling to California and competing was fun," Toney said. "This is the farthest I have ever traveled, and it was a great experience. It was also fun to meet people from across the United States who shared the same interests as I have."
Toney said the trip offered him many different experiences and sharpened his public speaking skills.
"We had to present the game and speak about it once in the state competition and twice during the national competition," Toney said. "I feel I have improved my presentation skills. I hope to compete next year, but I will be competing in the digital career portfolio category. Locally, I serve the FBLA club as president at the Randolph Technical Center."
Denise Stalnaker, one of the FBLA advisors at the Randolph Technical Center, said she and the other advisors were very proud of the group. Other advisors include Elwood Sites and Christina Waybright.
"We are proud of the students for the countless hours they gave in preparing, practicing and perfecting their presentations and projects," Stalnaker said. "They put in a tremendous amount of work and did a great job."
The group attended the competition, meetings and conference sessions. During the down time, they went to a Dodgers game, toured Hollywood and went to Knott's Berry Farm.
"We are very thankful for the support we received for this trip from the community," Stalnaker said. "The trip cost nearly $30,000, and we had great support from many individuals and businesses, making this trip a reality."
Stalnaker said the Randolph Technical Center FBLA students are gearing up for next year's state and national competition.
"The national competition will be in Nashville, Tenn.," Stalnaker said. "We are hoping to have another great delegation for that as well."
Stalnaker also was selected as the West Virginia Business Education Association Teacher of the Year. Johnson said her selection was no surprise to those at the Randolph Technical Center.
"When you consider that Denise is a national board-certified teacher - and that she has written curriculum, created several state-adopted concentrations of study and worked to train other West Virginia teachers - she certainly exemplifies an outstanding instructor. She certainly deserves this recognition."
Debra Conrad, a retired West Virginia FBLA advisor, said Stalnaker is deserving of the recognition.
"Denise has skills that have been recognized by educators, institutions and national leaders in education," Conrad said. "She has also made contributions to the business education profession on the local, state and national levels."
Stalnaker said she was excited with the designation.
"It's surprising and a great honor," Stalnaker said. "I feel like I was just doing my job and I enjoy what I do."
Stalnaker, who has been teaching for 30 years, said she feels fortunate to have been able to work with a great many different people during her career.
"I have taught elementary, middle and high school students," Stalnaker said. "I have also worked with adults in community education courses and classes in journalism. Currently, I teach web page publishing design, digital imaging and game design at the Randolph Technical Center."
She said she thinks the classes she teaches are relevant to students' current and future lives.
"When students start working in the work force, they will be expected to have advanced computer skills," Stalnaker said. "These courses prepare them to handle situations in the work force and help prepare them for college."
Stalnaker attended Coalton 12-Year School and earned her Bachelor of Science degree at Fairmont State College. She attended West Virginia University, where she earned a master's degree. Stalnaker has taught for 18 years at the Randolph Technical Center in Elkins.

It would be nice--this year, I haven't seen anything.
It would be nice--this year, I haven't seen anything.
Re: "fluff" Champs Camp, there were five (non-fluffy) stories posted on IN, based mixed zone interviews and private interviews. I think additional (maybe fluffy?) material was posted on USFS website.
Last edited by nylynnr; 10-08-2012 at 02:14 PM.
Super-small note:
Maybe audio only can eventually be posted? USFSA had tweeted about a media "call" and the IN article called it a teleconference (which to me implies an old-fashioned telephone conference call). KKonas would know.
And thanks, KKonas, for your original reporting on the media availability and for sharing your interesting professional background.
BTW, never got around to adding the following little postscript at the time of Champs Camp :
Not only had Rutherford tweeted, "I have learned to never stand between ice dancers and their chosen time to announce their music," but also Charlie White's mother had tweeted right back, "You're a smart woman, Lynn ".
So it's finally happening. Charlie is going to fulfill the prophecy of being the second coming of Gwendal Peizerat.
Meryl is a TOTAL Giselle in my mind. I think it's a really smart choice for their SD.
I'm still disappointed none of the top teams are skating to Hoedown by Copeland. I don't know if that would have been the wrong kind of music, but the other day I watched some old Polka compulsories to that music, including D/W and V/M and it fit just PERFECTLY.
Although I recall IN non-fluffy text stories, off the top of my head, I don't remember any non-fluffy video? At least nothing of any length?
I am a sucker for videos, and failing videos, audio only recordings. So yes, that was it.
To be frank, I was a little tired of this business of not announcing D&W's FD when they had already shown it at Champs Camp and it was apparently "approved" by USFS.
I can understand keeping it quiet until Champs Camp, but really, not after. I joined the teleconference a few minutes late, but I don't think anyone had previously asked about their FD, (perhaps Lynn can correct me) so as soon as I could I simply asked if they were skating to Notre-Dame de Paris. There were 14 people on the call, but only a few of us actually asked any questions.
There were questions prior to your joining the call. I think some reporters took the "one question and limit yourself to one follow-up" seriously, so perhaps some did not ask quite as many questions about the FD, as they would have otherwise.
Re: not announcing programs sooner - I don't know why Davis and White preferred to keep their FD choice under the radar. However, as we all know, there are instances (including this year, although not involving Davis and White) when programs shown at Champs Camp are later scrapped/revised after feedback is received. So, some skaters may prefer to wait a few weeks after Champs Camp, and then additional monitoring of the new program, to announce music. That's the only reason I can think of, anyway.
I didn't get to ask why their bio listed a Frank Sinatra medley for the FD and, if true, why they changed it. Perhaps I will get that chance at SA.
Hmmm a Frank Sinatra medlay at the very least would have been a departure for them. Oh please, we do not need Charlie to be a Gwendal. Charlie needs to be a Charlie. Besides Anasinna and Pezerotl are far more dramatic than Charlie and Meryl who are more subtle. I don't think Meryl is diva enough to be Anasinna
Meryl will not be trying to be Anissina. She will be trying to be Esmeralda, as danced by Meryl.
Charlie is supposed to move like a hunchback in Notre-Dame de Paris, yes? Clearly, he will not have ballet lines.
Marina always seems to get a bit excessive about whatever team she is being interviewed about, I must say.

Schwan's Home Service announced a voluntary recall of two products they distribute, that are manufactured by Rich Products Corp.
Consumers who have purchased Schwan's Live Smart Baked Mozzarella Bites #632 and Schwan's Live Smart Mini Meatball Sandwiches #630 are asked to return these products to their Schwan's sale representative during their next visit.
Last week, Rich Products recalled a number of Farm Rich products, including Philly Cheese Steaks, Mini Quesadilla, Mini Pizza Slices and Mozzarella Bites – after an E. coli outbreak sickened 24 people in 15 states. The recall was then expanded to all foods manufactured in its Waycross, Ga., facility, out of concern that they could potentially be contaminated with the E. coli bacteria.
Two of the 24 cases, affecting consumers in New York State and Texas, were linked to products in the original recall.
The products in the expanded recall were sold under Farm Rich, Market Day and Schwan's labels and have "Best by" dates from Jan. 1 to Sept. 29, 2014.
No illnesses have been linked to the expanded recall, but Dwight Gram, a spokesman for Rich Products, said the company isn't positive there are no additional contaminated products.
"Any possibility that one more person can become ill is simply unacceptable," Gram said.
Farm Rich Products and other Schwan's products that were produced at other plants are not affected.
Symptoms of E. coli can occur up to 10 days after exposure and include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting.
Customers with questions can contact Schwan's at 866-972-4926 or Farm Rich at 888-220-5955 – or visit farmrich.com.
A full list of recalled products is available on the Strictly Business blog at buffalonews.com.

With Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Rebecca Moore Howard
from Syracuse University
Dr. Natalie Houston
from the University of Houston
Social and cultural evolution depends on revolution. Society stagnates and decays when people stop reevaluating laws, traditions, and expectations. Sometimes, not just to progress but to survive, we must revolt.
The Coastal Plains Graduate Conference welcomes papers, panels, presentations, and workshops in areas of literature, composition, rhetoric, pedagogy, folklore, film studies, humanities, etc. We are seeking work that enters the discussion of current scholarship and offers an original angle, approach, or application to literary/rhetorical theory.
Please send your 200-300 word presentation proposal to firstname.lastname@example.com by January 14, 2013. Include your name, university affiliation, type of presentation, and tech equipment needs.
Possible topics might include:
● Creation of / birth of new literary periods
● The Revolt of the Other: Analysis of literary characters participating in/creating their own
revolutions, internal or external
● Texts that act as revolutionary acts in themselves
● Protest rhetorics,or the rhetoric of backlash movements against change / revolution
● Critical pedagogy and criticisms thereof
● Revolutionary ideas in pedagogy
● Literary responses to revolutions: historical, ideological, social
● Adaptation and/or translation (could be framed as critically reading or writing back)
● Internal revolutions-within characters or authors
● Cultural revolutions including but not limited to issues of: race, gender, class, sexuality
religious, and political

Bachelor of Science in Accounting
The undergraduate accounting curriculum option provides strong pre-professional training in the theory and practice of accounting, within the context of a sound general education which exposes the student both to the liberal and the management arts. The program serves students interested in careers in public and corporate accounting, as well as students who intend to pursue advanced studies in various graduate and professional schools.
Careers in Accounting
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants provides a useful website concerning careers in both public and private accounting. Binghamton accounting graduates generally start their careers in public accounting, but many move to the corporate environment or continue on to graduate programs in accounting, finance or law within a few years. The AICPA website details the various career options available to accounting graduates, shows recent salary ranges for various accounting jobs and offers tips on resume writing and interviewing.
Five-Year Program in Accounting
The School of Management offers interested students an option to obtain both the BS and either the MS in Accounting or an MBA in a five-year period. Students who complete our BS in Accounting program and are admitted to the Graduate School are guaranteed a one-year master's program. Either program will satisfy the AICPA requirement for a five-year degree which went into effect in 2000. Students who wish to be licensed as a CPA in New York state will be required to have a degree consisting of a minimum of 150 credit hours. The BS/MS program will satisfy this requirement.
CPA Licensing
There are three major requirements for licensure as a certified public accountant in New York state: education, examination and experience. The education requirement can be fulfilled by completion of the BS in Accounting curriculum in the SOM, or by a BS in Management with additional coursework to meet CPA requirements. 150 credit hours will be required. A student must have an overall GPA of 2.0 or better to qualify for the exam. There are different divisions of the exam, and they may be passed separately, but there are time constraints that must be adhered to. Information about the exam and necessary forms can be obtained by calling 1-800-CPA-EXAM.

Some of the first months were spent building a video player that would deliver the kind of in-class experience they dreamed of. After the founders first gave wine tasting and economics classes a whirl, John's mother-in-law, an avid quilter, suggested trying quilting instruction, and from there, it was history!

Food bank in high school helps feed Ind. students
A food bank set up a pantry at a school to help students in an impoverished eastern Indiana city get enough to eat.
The food pantry at Connersville High School was open on the third Thursday of every month. The Indianapolis Star reported that Gleaners Food Bank set up the pantry to serve students and their families in Fayette County, which has one of the highest poverty rates in the state.
Most of the school's 1,200 students qualified for free or reduced price school lunches. Census figures showed that 22 percent of the county's 24,000 people live below the poverty line, which is 8 percent higher than the state rate.
Gleaners said that 4,640 Fayette County residents are at risk of hunger, including more than 1,600 children.

Finally! New PetArmor ™kills fleas/ticks but not the wallet!
June 2, 2011 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
Our erratic weather has stirred up its share of trouble throughout the US creating conditions perfectly suited for ticks – especially the nasty deer tick. And, while it's always tick season in some part of the country, May, June and July are the height of infestation here in Pennsylvania.
To top it off, Pennsylvania has achieved another coveted title as the number one state in the nation in reported cases of Lyme Disease, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control.
LYME 101 Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection most people contract from the bite of an infected black-legged (deer) tick. It can be cured through antibiotics if diagnosed in the early stages. However, if left untreated, it can progress into severe arthritis and even a type of meningitis.
NOTE: Not all deer ticks are infected and even an infected tick must stay attached for 24 to 48 hours to transmit Lyme disease, according to public health officials.
DING! DING! DING! Pets can also get Lyme disease. Thankfully, there are products such as topical insecticides available to protect pets from ticks. To date, some of the best products on the market have been Frontline Plus, K9 Advantix® II, Bio Spot® Defense Spot On® and Revolution (which ALSO includes protection from the equally fearsome Heartworm). But, they are all… well… pricey. So pricey, that a lot of pet owners have a hard time affording the monthly protection.
GOOD NEWS: PetArmor ™ has arrived! The active ingredient in PetArmor™is fipronil (the same as in Frontline®). PetArmor works the same way, providing full-body protection to help keep your pets flea and tick free. PetArmor is just as safe and effective as Frontline® except it's literally half the price and will be available at major retailers. Just like medications we take, the patent on the amazing ingredient "fipronil" found in these leading brands, has expired allowing other companies to now manufacture equal products for less - just like the genetic equivalent that becomes available to us after the patent on name brand medication has expired. No difference in quality, just a major difference in the cost and savings to the customer.
I CANNOT promote the use of preventative meds for fleas and ticks enough!!!
I've had more than one of my rescue Goldens diagnosed with and treated for Lyme's Disease which they contracted prior to coming into my care and I had to be the one to administer the treatment. All I want to say is you don't EVER want to have to put your pets through treatment if you don't have to. The reason, it is a LONG course of treatment and the medication can be hard on your pet's already infected system.
I often have foster pets coming and going through Hotel Hanna and after speaking with the PetArmor™ Plus folks (because I'm a crazy, over-protective pet mama), I am sold on their credibility and am now a customer. Oakley has been wearing his PetArmor™ for over a month now and is doing great! So is my pocket since PetArmor™ costs HALF what the other name brands cost! THANK YOU, PET ARMOR ™!
Now, not everyone likes to use insecticide-type topical medications on their pets and seek more holistic alternatives. However, if you use the current leading brands, I am happy to introduce you to Pet Armor™. It is currently available at Walmart and Sams Club but check their site often for more locations coming soon.
There is a also new annual vaccine on the market for pets. Ask your vet for more information especially if your pet is exposed to naturally high tick infested areas.
As always, I would like to remind people that those 'flea collars' are w-o-r-t-h-l-e-s-s. The only thing they are good for is the trash. Also, the cheap dollar store topical prevention medicine you can get like at the Dollar Store – please don't waste your money. Worthless. You can sign up on PetArmor.com website for news and valuable coupons and "LIKE" them on their Facebook page for additional savings and to help homeless pets just by liking their site.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Treatment for Lyme disease is very straightforward and consists of using either a tetracycline or penicillin-based antibiotic. The two most commonly used are oral doxycycline or amoxicillin. A recent study showed that both antibiotics worked equally well. The antibiotics must be given a minimum of 14 days to 30 days. In some cases, the animal may have to be on the antibiotic for much longer. Many may never completely rid themselves of B. burgdorferi despite treatment. These animals may never show any further signs of the disease. Despite the fact that some animals may develop chronic infections, the vast majority of infected dogs respond rapidly and satisfactorily to doxycycline treatment. In some animals with severe arthritis, pain relievers may also be used in addition to antibiotics. The use of steroids in this disease is definitely contraindicated.
Blood tests are available to assist in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. The standard blood test detects antibodies made by the dog in response to infection with B. burgdorferi. Many dogs show positive test results, but are not actually infected with the disease. These animals have been exposed to the organism, but fought off the infection on their own. These animals will have antibodies to B. burgdorferi but not have the disease. Thus a single positive result means only that the dog was exposed. Only around 10% of the exposed dogs actually contract the infection.
You'll hear your vet say they want to do a 'C6 antibody test' – which can distinguish between antibodies made as a result of exposure and those produced as a result of vaccination against Lyme disease. This simple test can be run right in a veterinarian's office. As with the other antibody tests, however, the C6 test will not distinguish between exposure to Borrelia and actual infection.
SYMPTOMS OF LYME DISEASE IN DOGS The symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs differ from those in people, and usually occur much later after the tick bite. Dogs do not develop the typical rash or the circular area of redness around the bite like people. Clinical illness in dogs usually occurs 2 to 5 months after a bite from an infected tick.
Cats can develop Lyme disease, but it's rare. Other domestic animals such as horses have contracted Lyme disease, but it does not appear to be a significant problem. Dogs show several different forms of the disease, but by far, the most common symptoms are a fever of between 103 - 105°, lameness, swelling in the joints, swollen lymph nodes, lethargy, and loss of appetite.
Although not common, some dogs have developed severe progressive kidney disease as a sequel to Lyme disease. This severe kidney failure is difficult to treat and may result in death. It is recommended that a dog with a positive Lyme antibody test have additional blood tests and a urinalysis to assess kidney function. Some dogs may also develop heart problems or nervous system disease after being infected with B. burgdorferi.

Time flies. Add in a new job in a new community, weekly commutes, living out of a suitcase, searching for a new home and life as we know it becomes one big blur.
Don't get me wrong, I'm having a great time meeting people, visiting businesses and attending local events, but sometimes I have to stop and ask myself, "What day is it and where am I heading?"
Technically, I still reside in Reno, although I've spent very little time there lately. My stuff is still there anyway, at least for the next two weeks. The past month and a half I've spent weekdays in Nevada County and the weekends in the state of Nevada. Two very different places.
Since starting here July 2, I've been living in either the Holiday Inn Express or the Grass Valley Courtyard Suites, depending on availability and whether I think I need a kitchen to cook any meals. Yes, I do cook.
Staying in downtown Grass Valley has been great. I've taken in the farmers market every Thursday and am enjoying all the great local restaurants - when I'm not cooking, of course.
All of this is not to say that I haven't spent time in Nevada City. I attended Summer Nights in Nevada City more than once, if anyone's counting.
And for those keeping score at home, I'm booked for a week at the Broad Street Inn in Nevada City.
There are so many treasures here; it's hard to know where to begin. I love the arts and truly believe they are not only important to our community's culture, but they distinguish us from our regional neighbors.
I toured The Center for the Arts recently and took in a show. The talent posters that line the Center's walls of acts that have performed there over the past few years blew me away. The Center rivals any major metro-area venue, and yet it's right in our own backyard. By way of full disclosure, I became a member that night. I admit that I haven't been to the theater in Nevada City as yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
I attended our local hospital foundation's Starry, Starry Nights event at Empire Mine State Historic Park a few weeks ago and was mesmerized by the sheer beauty of the grounds. I probably sound a bit melodramatic, but when you've lived in a community where the most intimate outdoorsy spot is a stinky pond surrounded by constant traffic, you appreciate these things. Not the least of the event's highlights was devouring my first Lazy Dog ice cream bar. If I'm ever on death row, a Lazy Dog will be my last request.
I'd heard about all the local wineries and their music events and wine tastings offered on a regular basis, so when I got an invite for the first Friday of the month event at Sierra Starr vineyard I grabbed my wineskin and headed out. The live music genre that night was some sort of mix that ranged from Elvis to Deep Purple, which at first seemed odd but soon was just what the doctor ordered after my second glass of cab.
The proprietor, Phil, gave me a tour of the facilities including inside the cavernous storage tunnel that holds a consistent, cool climate year-round. Seemed like a perfect place to add a couple of recliners, a flat screen and a pool table. I'm just saying.
The Nevada County Fair has a reputation throughout the state as one of the best fairs around, so I decided to find out for myself. I attended the morning ceremonies on opening day and was touched by the stories of how this fair has been an integral part of many people's families and their childhood. I stayed for the flag raising and national anthem, which not only made me proud to be American but put a lump in my throat; it does every time.
If one day of the fair wasn't enough, I went back the next night to walk the entire fairgrounds and collect some pens and key chains from the booths in the exhibit halls.
Some folks I met told me they live for the fair. A lady in front of me at the ATM actually said, "I live for quilts." I'd never heard that before - ever.
Growing up in a big city and being allergic to animal dander, my parents never took me to a state or county fair, so this was news to me. My journey to the fair would have been incomplete had I not sought what was described to me as, "the best corn dog known to man." After a 45-minute wait in line to fetch my homemade corn dog, my culinary review can be summed up simply: "I'll have another."
The night ended with one last stop at Lazy Dog.
So in my indulgence of many of the finest tastes and treats our community has to offer, my pants seem to fit a little tighter than they did in June. I've decided my next visit needs to be to Scott Jackson's Real Life Fitness, which I just learned is closing in November. That gives me just enough time to work off that extra inch or two in time for Thanksgiving. I'll never learn.

A brief look at the villains from your favourite books and films will reveal some common personality traits; they're all a few sandwiches short of a picnic. This is of course true of video games too, with many antagonists - who are more often than not found in the form of boss battles incidentally - displaying qualities that would suggest they're not quite with it upstairs. Here then, are the ten most psychotic characters that have appeared in video games.
Dr. Ivo (Eggman) Robotnik – Sonic the Hedgehog series
Sonic's arch nemesis might have a PHD and an IQ of 300, but there's no denying that he has some serious mental problems. Kidnapping bunnies, birds and other cute mammals and turning them into fuel for robotic enemies, an obsession with taking over the world, and a maniacal laugh that could be described as anything but sane. What's crazier than all this is the fact that even with his vast intellect and knowledge of science and robotics, he's still unable to kill a single blue hedgehog. He really must be crazy if he thinks doing the whole thing for a fourth time in Sonic's upcoming return to 2D is going to be any different. Give it a rest already Eggman.
Sander Cohen - Bioshock
The fall of Andrew Ryan's great underwater city Rapture would be enough to send any of its citizens a bit mad, but some took it considerably worse than others. Sander Cohen was once a respectable poet, sculptor and playwright, a man of many talents who also reigned over Rapture's Fort Frolic. When the city descended into chaos, however, Cohen became sadistically impassive to the death and suffering of others. When the player first meets him, he has plastered his disciple Kyle Fitzpatrick to a piano rigged with explosives. It's certainly an interesting introduction, and the explosion that follows is a clear indication of just how kooky the fallen artist has become.

To celebrate 50 years since their opening, London restaurant Daphne's have partnered with 50 well-known faces from the entertainment and arts industry, asking each to create a bespoke venetian mask for the event.
Andrew Lloyd Weber, Uma Thurman, Dame Shirley Bassey and Harry Styles are just a few of the names joining Rupert for the collaboration.
Lucky diners will be able to view the masks on display for the month of June, after which they will be subsequently sold, with all proceeds of the sales going towards Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
You may recall that Rupert has supported Great Ormond Street previously, attending both their Christmas parties in 2008 and with Tom Felton in 2011.
The complete gallery of masks is online and available to view here.

Knew these were cute sandals, but when I put them on, my feet loved them too! They are the perfect summer sandal that can be worn with shorts, jeans, or dresses, and the neutral color goes with anything. They run TTS and are so comfortable!

The Stetson (2-1) women's tennis team fell to Iowa State (1-2) in a close match, losing by a score of 4-3 on Friday afternoon at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
"Iowa State played very well," Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said after the match. "They are surely deserving of the victory."
In doubles, Junior Lindsey Cable (Gainesville, Fla.) and freshman Eveline Lepinay (Quebec City, Quebec) got the Hatters off to a good start, winning 8-4 against Emma Waites and Meghan Cassens.
Iowa State was able to come back and take the final two doubles matches to earn the first point. Seniors Sara Lazarevic (Calgary, Alta.) and Jen Miller (Tampa, Fla.) lost their match, falling 8-4 against Simona Cacciuttolo and Caroline Andersen.
Freshman Andrea Crespo (Valencia, Spain) and junior Diana Bukajeva (Riga, Latvia) then lost a tough match, losing 9-7 to Ksenia Pronina and Jenna Langhorst, giving the Cyclones the point. "The doubles point was important as always today, and it eventually decided the match," Pilote said.
In singles competition, Crespo was defeated for the first time this season, falling to Cacciuttolo 6-1, 6-0 at the number one position. That gave Iowa State a 2-0 lead over Stetson. Tatje got the Hatters on the board with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Cassens in number three singles.
Lepinay was then defeated by Waites, losing 6-1, 7-5, which gave the Cyclones a 3-1 lead. Cable picked up a victory in her match, winning 6-2, 7-6 (5) from the number five position, getting Stetson its second point of the match.
Bukajeva won a thrilling three set match, defeating Pronina 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 to tie the match at 3-3. However, Iowa State was able to prevail when Ana Gasparavic topped Jen Miller by a score of 6-4, 6-1.
"We have many aspects of the game to work on before our next match," Pilote conclude. "I know that we can play much better, and that's what we will strive to do.
The Hatters return to the courts on Feb. 23 when they take on Florida A&M at 10:00 a.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
Match Notes: Sara Lazarevic was scratched from the singles lineup after getting injured during doubles ... The Hatters are 0-4 all-time against the Big 12.

Some Piecing and Some Book Reviewing
This one was one of the free blocks that Lisa Bongean has been posting on her blog. You need to search around for them but you can find them all here. This is block number 11.
Like I said before, most of the time I have been reading. We took Lucy Two (our motorhome) out for a little excursion this week.
As the photo shows, water is at a premium in August. This is one of the largest reservoirs in California and it is extremely low.We drove in a big loop up to Calaveras Big Trees, then on over the Sierra Mountains to the Nevada side for a little fishing. I'm ashamed to say that even though I was born & have lived my entire 63 years in Northern California, I had never been to Big Trees. It is a lovely place and well worth the visit, although the $33 (with senior discount) fee to camp is pretty ridiculous. Why does it cost so much to camp in California State Parks? Every uniformed person we saw was a volunteer!! Anywho......while Honey was fishing, I was reading.
I love to read. That is my idea of vacation...uninterrupted reading time. No phone, no computer, no TV, no sewing machine. Just a good book. Here are my reviews.
Book #1: Fifty Shades of Grey. Well, my goodness. I'm certainly no expert on good prose but I gotta say, I'm not impressed. Erotica can be good, some is very good. This one? Eh. Not so much. I only made it about 1/3 through the book and grew board. I really don't care what happens anymore. These young people are acting like they discovered SEX and you can not convince this old lady that any real live sweet young 21 year old virgin is gonna let that power freak dominate her. No way, no how. And, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the First Time is almost always a huge disappointment. Period. I'm not going to waste more time reading this drivel when there are billions of books on my to-read list. I give it 2* only because some women may find it interesting. I didn't.
Book #2: 11/22/63 by Stephan King. Okay, first off, I'm NOT (capital letters) a King fan. I have read 2 in the past and both left me feeling really creeped out for weeks. His books read like someone's horrible nightmares. No thanks. But a friend whose opinion I value said I would like this one. And she was right. I enjoyed it very much. Hubby is reading it, too, & also liking it. I will say that you probably should be a certain age to really find it entertaining. If you were around when Kennedy was elected you will probably enjoy the whole premise of the story. It is a time travel tale and all the reminders of your youth are there. I give it 3 *.
Meanwhile, while sewing I have been "watching" Brothers & Sisters on Netflix. Very liberal, topical drama. I doubt it plays well in the bible belt.

Sounds like you had a lovely holiday :0). Thank you for the book reviews. I must admit that while 50 Shades seems to be popular with most of the women on the train I have no interest in reading it - much rather stick to a good well written story :0)

Most of my reading takes place on the stationary bicycle or in the jetted tub anymore, the latter of which I haven't had much time for lately. I used to read so much more. Where does the free time go? I love the little quilts you have made. I have been saving Lisa's patterns, but haven't made anything with them yet.
I'm trying to recall if Big Trees was where we took the family on a vacation about 23 years ago. It sounds vaguely familiar--and I know we were in Northern CA. What does that say for my memory?

My general rule on books is: If it is THE popular book or about to become a movie . . . it's off my list. I do except that from time to time and often with good results (The Help was one such exception)
I've not one bit of interest in 50 Shades of Gray except on Friday mornings when my goofy morning DJ's bring out a 'character' in the form of a La Jolla widow (really the sports guy) to read a chapter from the book. Hilarious to listen to them try to get through it without getting in trouble with the FCC.

I'm experiencing your extreme heat in person this weekend since I'm in Sacramento for my SIL's memorial service. YIKES! We head back home to Utah tomorrow where it's a teeny tiny bit cooler.
I haven' read a really good book for awhile now. The only one of Stephen King's that I liked before giving up on him as an author was The Stand.

I agree with Libby about the "popular" books and movies. I have wasted my money and/or time on too many of them. I really like what you have done with your HSTs. I've been trying to use some of mine up and have made a bunch of pinwheels to put into a donation quilt. Right now we are on a trip in our camper until the end of Sept. We're going to New England after a family reunion. Last year we camped at the Redwoods State Park in N. CA and LOVED it. We paid $33 also. The highest we paid on our trip. Even lots of private campgrounds are a lot less than that! It is beautiful there, though.

Big trees is one of my favorites, although the last time we were up there the ranger at the gate told us to not even bother driving in since it was all too muddy! I like your book list, too -- we agree on several of your ratings! Do you know about the Goodreads website? A great place to keep track of what you've read and want to read...

I'm new to blogging but have been reading quilting blogs for several years. (Why did I wait so long to start blogging? It's fun!!) I found your blog today and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Your sewing room, and your description of it, is probably more the norm than not. Mine only looks like it's set up for a photo shoot when I have company coming over. Your selvage (or selvedge) rug is gorgeous! I'm inspired! I enjoy your book reviews, too! Keep the posts coming... I'll be dropping in to read about your adventures!

I love summer holidays - even a few days away - or just a day trip - so lovely and so refreshing to be able to do what you want when you want and no duties calling. My favorite thing is to take a bit of handwork - sit in the shade and dream - sometimes I even take a stitch or two, while enjoying the scenery, whether it is river, valley, ocean or desert - I love summer holidays. Today we are off on a jaunt to find us some summer peaches - and whatever else calls our names.

Bethlehem met Neb through a mutual friend. Neb was attending a six week course in radiology that Bethlehem was also attending. Fate had love in store for this couple! After dating for nearly two years, Neb bought an engagement ring on Valentine's Day and proposed on February 19th. Their wedding was steeped in Ethiopian tradition. The bread cutting ceremony is traditional in Ethiopian culture, for the family members to name the bride. They named Betty "Amale work" a person of good character; a person worth gold. The departure ceremony was also steeped in tradition, where the Bride and Groom kiss the knees of the family members showing respect for the elders. This tradition is to thank the family members for the love and caring they have had throughout their lives and to thank them for the wedding. Betty works as a radiologist for Fort Belvoir and Neb serves as a fellow radiologist at Johns Hopkins. They plan to honeymoon in the Bahamas and in Venice Italy!

The 5 Worst Error Messages in the History of Technology
Error messages are a necessary evil. We live in a world filled with complicated things that break in complicated ways. If we're all being honest with ourselves, we can admit we're fortunate to live in an age with computers and fancy toys, considering our grandparents were essentially still banging rocks together to start fires. Also using them as furniture. Clothes? Rocks.
Stockbyte/Retrofile/Getty Images
Everything in this picture is a rock.
So if it seems kind of childish to make fun of the error messages that come with our fantastic lives, just remember that that's all we really do around here. With that clear, here then are five of the most frustrating, completely bullshit error messages that have ever existed.
Interestingly, not all of them are for Microsoft products.
#5. Blue Screen of Death
This one is, though. Possibly the most famous of all error messages, the Blue Screen of Death was how Windows spectacularly died, most prominently in the Windows 95/98 era.
For a couple years in the late '90s, this was essentially the desktop.
That isn't playful exaggeration; the Blue Screen of Death was an everyday occurrence. Famously, one showed up when Bill Gates was actually giving a demonstration of Windows 98. You know. To sell it.
"Ha ha ha," the world laughed. "Windows sure is terrible. Let's use nothing but it."
Why It's So Frustrating:
It Doesn't Tell You Anything
The most frustrating thing about the Blue Screen of Death is how little it tells you, giving you no real indication why your computer crashed or how to fix it. Fatal Exception 0E? What the hell does that even mean? Has my computer been drinking again?
Obviously, this complaint can apply to lots of error messages, with their cryptic hashcodes and core dumps and other gibberish. All information is basically useless to anyone who'd actually see the error message. A regular computer user doesn't know what it means. A regular computer user's cousin Kenny (who's pretty good with computers) doesn't know what it means. Tech Support doesn't know what it means. It sort of could be the kind of information that a Microsoft programmer could use, but they sure didn't want to fucking read it.
Comstock/Getty Images
"What's that you say? A bug in Windows 98? Fuck you. We tried."
These kinds of error messages do serve a purpose, but only when the software is still being developed, when programmers are actively trying to fix these bugs. But once they've given up and shipped it, these messages are close to useless. Having the screen go black while playing a long farting sound that changes pitch twice would serve the same purpose.
PC LOAD LETTER was a not-so-helpful error message found on various HP LaserJet printers and a familiar companion to basically anyone who worked in an office a decade or so ago.
DuffDudeX1 via Wikimedia Commons
Hello, dear friend.
This showed up when the printer refused to print and, once you knew what it meant, was pretty easy to fix and get the printer running again. But if you'd never seen it before, you might be there scratching your head/ass for a little while.
Why It's So Frustrating:
Because It Tells You the Wrong Thing
I'm going to give you a little quiz. What do the letters "PC" usually mean? "Politically Correct," yes, of course, thank you Ms. Smart Ass. But in the context of computers and offices, "PC" always means "Personal Computer." It's shorthand we use to mean computer, right?
Aidon/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Wrong, asshole. OK, then. Let's back up. This is a printer problem. What printer things could "PC" mean? "Printer Cartridge"?
Inkspots via Wikimedia Commons
Stop embarrassing yourself, moron. Do you give up? Or at least want me to stop calling you childish names? OK then, I'll tell you.
"PC," in this case, stands for "Paper Cassette," which every human being on the planet (and quite possibly the HP manual) calls the "Paper Tray." This is what this error message is telling you to load letter size (8.5" x 11") paper into.
"Bucholz," I hear you saying. "You colossal dickfarm. That's not that hard to decipher. I mean, if something isn't printing, and it's asking for letter size paper--shit. Why not check the paper tray?" And that's pretty reasonable, except what if you happen to work in a country that doesn't use letter size paper? Other than North America, most countries in the world use paper sizes like A4. For a few reasons, people in other countries still would commonly see this error message and wonder why the heck the printer was so interested in their correspondence.
#3. Red Ring of Death
For the first two or three years after its launch, somewhere in the neighborhood of one in four Xbox 360s would just up and die. It would announce this calamity by festively illuminating its set of circular LEDs a bright, Christmassy red.
Droobey, via Wikimedia Commons
Except this Christmas takes your toys away. Bizarro Christmas, then.
To their credit, Microsoft did end up expanding its warranty program to address the issue and try to do right by their customers. Though, as they also built and sold a video game console that was made entirely out of hot turds, we probably shouldn't let them completely off the hook.
Why It's So Frustrating:
There Was No Way You Could Fix It
Most computer errors aren't that hard to fix. Whether it's rebooting it or taking a half-hour to read some forums and download a free tool, we can do most of this ourselves, using nothing more than a bit of knowledge or time. But if you saw a Red Ring of Death, there was no way you could fix it; no amount of blowing on it would make this thing work again. Your $250 toy was toast, and you'd have to send it back to Microsoft for a new one.
Evan-amos via Wikimedia Commons
Which was, more often than not, a used one, because this is still Microsoft we're talking about. It's a small miracle they didn't send back a blender and a Windows ME CD.
Hardware problems are always more frustrating than software problems, because there's nothing to be done but return it, and that's probably going to involve getting out of your chair. Days or weeks of downtime are the norm, and because video game players aren't known for their ability to delay gratification, the Red Ring of Death became one of the most hated error messages of all time.

The Vancouver gold medalist's rep, who still did not know the extent of Vonn's injuries, said in a statement, "Lindsey was involved in a crash in today's World Championship Super G race in Schladming, Austria. She is currently being evaluated and we will provide an update when it becomes available."
Shortly after the incident, the Alpine Press Tweeted, "Doctor on hill with @linseyvonn suspects tibial plateau fracture. We'll await official diagnosis following X-rays and MRI."
A tibial plateau fracture is a break in the shinbone near the knee and affects stability and motion.
According to NBC News, Vonn, 28, lost her ski after a tough landing and slid off course into a gate before she came to a stop. See video of her crash below.
"Made awkward landing on the jump that has given many skiers here trouble. Right knee/ankle bent awkwardly. Looked scary," Tweeted Alex Goldberger, of NBC.
The doctor examined her at the scene for more than 10 minutes before Vonn was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
Vonn, who late last year revealed to PEOPLE that she suffers from depression, was trailing World Cup points leader Tina Maze of Slovenia by only 0.12 seconds before the crash, said NBC.
Because of fog, the race had already been delayed 3½ hours and was then resuming after a 15-minute delay.
