Just a heads-up on what I'll be doing the next few weeks.
I am undertaking a project that will take a solid two or two-and-a-half weeks to complete. I'm doing a story highlighting several female athletes in the county who have torn their Anterior Cruciate Ligaments recently, and examining why female athletes are much more at risk than their male counterparts.
My stories in the newspaper and my blog posts will be down a bit, but we think it's worth it to spend most of my time on this project.

Wow! What a fantastic story idea. It will be interesting to see if you determine any ways to try and prevent a torn ACL. Such an injury is devastating to a high school sports career and your knee can be affected for the rest of your life! thanks for taking the time to research such an interesting topic!
Thanks for the comment. This is a topic that's really intriguing to me. It's a lot more complex than I originally thought, so hopefully we can provide some solid information that will help area athletes.
This is a very interesting topic. I tore mine while playing softball in college and became fascinated with the injury then. I have also seen a rise in the number of that are experiencing it at a younger and younger age. Good luck with the research!
That's interesting your injury occurred during a softball game — I’ve talked to a lot of local athletes who tore their ACLs playing basketball, soccer and volleyball, but no softball. Hope everything worked out for you.
