Carlton: Compelling story lines could make for wild ride as Big 12 football kicks off
The Big 12 media has already picked conference offensive and defensive players of the year as well as the North and South favorites. Your neighborhood grocer probably has a magazine section devoted to preseason college football, with forecasts of the next national champion and Heisman winner. Twitter is abuzz with 140-character takes and links.
But there's always room for more. Here are a few other Big 12 predictions, thoughts, analysis and unofficial awards about the season that's about to arrive.
A few might even be right when all is said and done.
Making an MVP case
Baylor's Robert Griffin may be ready to show he's the most indispensable player in college football. He may not be the best, although he brings an interesting combination of explosiveness and efficiency to the quarterback position. If he can get Baylor to at least six wins and a bowl game after his injury early last season, he will have put his stamp on the program.
Chutzpah award
No matter what happens the rest of the season, Colorado's Dan Hawkins may have already clinched this honor. As the Boulder Daily Camera reported last week, during a staff meeting with athletic department brass, Hawkins was asked what the administration could do to help him. With a 16-33 overall record at Colorado and his posterior hot enough to melt lead, Hawkins responded by saying ... he could use a contract extension. Give him credit for asking.
Youth movement in Austin
Normally, freshmen wait their turn at Texas with a few exceptions. "We think everyone in this class has a chance to play before they leave," coach Mack Brown said last week. It might be sooner than that. Defensive ends Reggie Wilson and Jackson Jeffcoat, receivers Mike Davis and Darius White and linebacker Jordan Hicks are among those who could get snaps early and often.
Trial-by-fire case study
A year ago, Luke Joeckel was starting his senior season at Arlington High School. Now, he's the starting left tackle protecting Jerrod Johnson's blind side at Texas A&M. His challenge as a true freshman will be facing many of the elite pass rushers in the country. One positive: he sees one of the best every day in teammate Von Miller. "True freshman left tackles don't usually come in and start in Division I football, so that says something about him," Miller told Fox Sports Southwest.
Chasing 1,000
Can Texas Tech finally have a running back break 1,000 yards rushing in a season? New coach Tommy Tuberville has certainly given the impression the rush will be a bigger part of the offense. And the Red Raiders are loaded at running back, which actually could be a problem. Will Baron Batch or Eric Stephens get enough carries?
Most awkward potential moment
Just think if Nebraska's migration to the Big Ten takes a detour through Arlington. Then imagine if the aftermath of the Big 12 title game features Bo Pelini, Tom Osborne and Co. accept- ing hardware from commissioner Dan Beebe on their way out the door. Short of David Stern handing the Larry O'Brien Trophy to Mark Cuban, it's hard to imagine a more uncomfortable presentation.
OSU's breakout candidate
Prepare for plenty of stories on the journey of Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden from Yankees pitching prospect to Big 12 quarterback at age 26. He might otherwise be just an interesting footnote, except for the presence of new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and his spread offense. Holgorsen's system has done wonders for quarterbacks - including Kliff Kingsbury, Sonny Cumbie, Graham Harrell and Case Keenum. Expect the same impact on Weeden.
Strangest position scramble
Oklahoma's Bob Stoops still hasn't found a kicker he trusts despite a four-way competition in practice. The Sooners couldn't buy a field goal outside of 40 yards last season.

Specific Details
Read bytecode annotations and debug data from currently running code.
This would effectively extend the debugger's "vocabulary" from PIR to all Parrot-supported HLL's.
Add an interface for code instrumentation and introspection.
This would not take very long as I may just borrow the code already present in parrot-instrument.
Create an extension that would open an interpreter and be able to run code within it one opcode at a time.
Implement a shell as a user interface. Will be able to able to interpret commands, display information about current location, etc.
This may as simple as an NQP eval loop with a global dispatch table for user commands.
Use the FileHandle PMC to make the command shell a little more friendly. We can also add command line editing, command history, and tab completion.
A basic command set would include things like:
Start and continue execution with the ability to add arguments if they're not specified on the command line.
Creating breakpoints at a specific line or function.
Watch Parrot registers (including PMC's).
Stepping through code either forward or backward. Execute either a single PIR opcode or all opcodes until the next annotation line change.
Changing the current working directory of the program.
Backtrace using the CallContext and Exception PMC.
Bytecode disassembly (possibly with pbc_dump).
Scripting. For instance, interpreting a file as a set of debugger commands.
There's much, much more that can be added in the future. These are just a few.
Trace all open file handles.
This would also mean it'd have to trace all child processes.
Dynamic memory analysis.
Check arguments to function calls for uninitialized or invalid values.
Place a watch on all or individual PMC's to detect when it has been reclaimed by the garbage collector.
* To avoid redundancy, referring to "design" here will imply code design, unit test design, and documentation design. *
At the beginning of each week, there will be a discussion with the mentor(s) to make a weekly outline and a set of goals describing what needs to be accomplished each week.
Week 1 – Begin designing initial set of commands. A good starting point would be: enable/disable breakpoints, start/continue execution, stepping, print registers, source listing, help, etc.
Week 2 – Begin writing unit tests for basic command set and shell. Once the unit tests are in place, begin writing code for commands. Verify that unit tests now pass.
Week 3 – Begin designing backtrace command. Once the unit tests are in place, begin writing code for backtrace. Verify that unit tests now pass.
Week 4 – Begin design and plan how to integrate parrot-instrument. This may mean borrowing code directly or using it as a guideline. Once the unit tests are in place, begin writing instrumentation code. Verify that unit tests now pass.
Week 5 – With parrot-instrument in place, design framework for owning an interpreter for running code.
Week 6 – Begin coding phase for interpreter. Once the unit tests are in place, begin writing code. Verify that unit tests now pass.
Week 7 – At this point, it may be best to add a few more advanced commands. This could include: bytecode disassembly, command scripting, printing information about the interpreter, etc. This week would be spent on the design.
Week 8 – Begin coding phase for new set of commands. Once the unit tests are in place, begin writing code. Verify that unit tests now pass.
Week 9 – Begin design of commands for dynamic memory analysis.
Week 10 – Begin coding phase for dynamic memory analysis. Once the unit tests are in place, begin writing code. Verify that unit tests now pass. This may not take too long so if things get finished early, get a head start on documentation.
Week 11 – Review documentation and code examples, making any necessary improvements. At this point, it should be complete but if it's necessary, we can always include some more examples and documentation.
Week 12 – Review code and units tests, making an necessary improvements. Go over it with a fine-tooth comb, so to speak.
Week 13 – Reserved just in case things take a little longer.

Good morning, readers of Pacific Northwest News.
Now that we in the Portland-area area wading out of the what may go down as the Great Slushing and Flooding of 2012, we are ready to share a few news stories you might enjoy.
But first, a reminder of how we roll here at Northwest News: we mine the region's newspapers, television websites, cable networks, and blogs from around the Northwest for news you won't want to miss, then we pluck stories we think you might find interesting, post snippets below and provide links to the full versions. Your job is easy: click, read and come back to share your thoughts. Please use your "good guest towel" manners when commenting on OregonLive.
In our first story, the Tacoma News Tribune reports on an unusual delivery at a very typical delivery address -- a baby boy born in a stuck elevator at a local hospital:
It usually takes some living for someone to acquire a nickname, but Blake Thacker, now just hours old, already has one: Otis.
The second son of Katie and Luke Thacker arrived about 5:45 a.m. today inside an elevator stuck just short of the 14th floor at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma.
It wasn't the birth experience his parents had in mind in the pre-dawn hours when they left their Graham home in the driving snow, but they're counting their blessings since everything turned out fine.
The father told the paper everything went smoothly, considering the circumstances. But the new mother may have already forgotten what happened, asking repeatedly: "Did I just really have a baby in an elevator?"
Thank goodness for nicknames.
Our next story comes from Seattle, where the Seattle Times reports that icy runways have forced Sea-Tac airport to close this morning:
Sea-Tac Airport has closed its three runways this morning because of ice.
"This is a pretty rare event for us," airport spokesman Perry Cooper told KIRO TV. Cooper said he thought such an event hadn't occured for at least 10 years.
Cooper told KIRO that the 6 a.m. hour is a critical time for departures. Crews are working with deicer fluid.

I am a hydrologist and fluvial geomorphologist, and am passionate about first developing conceptual models of environmental systems before subjecting them to rigorous field testing, often with novel monitoring methodologies. I have enjoyed working in the UK, Ireland, France, Iceland, Azerbaijan, Georgia, USA and Australia. Almost all of the research projects, derived publications and 15 PhD completions, have been competitively funded by NERC, EPSRC and international organisations such as the Ireland Environmental Protection Agency.
I developed the first automatic erosion monitoring system (Photo-Electronic Erosion Pin (PEEP)) system (1991) and the principle of Thermal Consonance Timing for improved erosion process definition (2005-2008), now used by 35 pure and applied research groups worldwide.
I also developed with the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology the CAFES system for river flood power analysis (2009), and the DOCPROBE model for river bank erosion processes (1999). Our group has also achieved the first experimental quantification of needle ice sediment transport effects (1996), and developed novel chains of causality linking North Atlantic atmospheric circulation and climate changes to (a) river flow change in the UK and USA (2006-11), and (b) Icelandic sediment fluxes to the ocean (2003).

Sometimes, when hits result in injuries, you can at least hazard a guess as to what happened. Maybe the explanation doesn't make 100-percent sense, but you can see where it came from.
Alex Edler's hit on Eric Staal doesn't seem to fall in that category
Edler appeared to seriously injure Staal's leg in a knee-on-knee collision at the hockey World Championships on Thursday. Edler is a Vancouver Canucks defenseman, Staal a Carolina Hurricanes center. Both All-Stars are playing for their respective national teams, since their regular seasons are over.
Unless Edler says he temporarily lost his spatial sense or went blind, this one is hard to understand. The video has been removed from YouTube, but you can watch it at TSN.ca.
Staal was sixth in the league in points during the regular season (18 goals, 35 assists). Edler had 24 points and signed a five-year, $30 million contract before the season.
Carolina GM Jim Rutherford told the Raleigh News and Observer that Staal is having an MRI, and that Team Canada officials called him immediately after the injury. As tends to be the case, the hit will raise questions about NHL players' participation in international events, but Rutherford said his own approach hasn't changed.
The league is close to an agreement with the IHHF on allowing its players to compete at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

How many Intel motherboards have you owned, One, Three, Five? Odds are maybe not a one. Yes it's a loaded question, due to the fact that I am actually speaking about a Genuine Intel Motherboard and not a motherboard made by another manufacturer with an Intel chipset. The do it yourself community has shunned Intel motherboards for years, mainly due to cost but most recently due to the fact that other manufacturers have included more innovative technologies on their boards as well as more efficient chipset cooling. I am not sure about you but I didn't want to spend my money on a board that always had less and was usually more. As recently as last year some top of the line Genuine Intel Motherboards had those thin wafered heatsinks on the Southbridge and inefficient finned thermal solutions cooling the VRM, PWM and MOSFET. That's not even mentioning how few USB and SATA connectors offered.
Q1 of 2011 when Intel launched their second generation Core processors we were introduced to a new socket (LGA1155) and chipset (P67 and Z68) but there were only rumors of replacing the performance line, the aging socket LGA 1366 and X58 chipset. It is now Q4 of 2011 and the wait is over the Intel performance line is getting a facelift with a new socket and chipset as well as a powerful processor line which includes both four and six cores. The new socket is LGA 2011 and the chipset is called X79 and with this Intel has introduced a new line of motherboards one in specific is the DX79SI Extreme Series. Once you lift up the top flap of the box and look through the clear plastic window you will notice a very pleasing change.
The Intel DX79SI Extreme Series motherboard is packed with features. The DX79SI supports the Second Generation Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition Processors on a new Socket which is LGA 2011. Its new chipset is X79 express which features DMI unidirectional connectivity to the processor. It supports Quad, tri, dual or single channel memory up to 2400MHz (OC) and has a memory capacity of up to 64GB. For connectivity the Intel DX79SI includes six high speed USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0, dual Intel Gigabit LAN, eight channel audio including optical and a Back to BIOS button for easy access to the BIOS when performance tuning. There are three PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots for SLI and CrossFire video performance, two SATA 6G and four SATA 3G ports for hard drive connectivity as well as an additional eight USB 2.0 headers. Most important is Intel's move to the DrMOS (MOSFET) power phase solution and driver to ensure more efficient power stage switching and to keep it cool they have added voltage regulator heatsinks.

Japan approved the use of low-dose oral contraceptives (OCs) in June
1999, after more than 35 years of debate. The debate leaves a legacy of misinformation
about and various sources of resistance to OCs. Benefits are expected to include
greater control for women over their fertility and a reduction in the high
rates of unplanned pregnancies and abortions. Successful implementation of
the new policy will require a new emphasis on women's health, including the
provision of accurate information about OCs and their associated adverse effects,
a women-centered approach to gynecological practice, and the promotion of
condoms as protection from sexually transmitted diseases, rather than as contraception

Preparations for the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division quarterfinals are under way.
A staunch Marmonte League competitor waiting in the wings.
However, a few notable changes have occurred this time around.
For starters - a 9-2 season record entering the quarterfinals, compared to 7-3-1 campaign in 2007.
A second place finish in the Foothill League.
And perhaps a few lingering thoughts of a season cut short after a 29-28 quarterfinal loss to Newbury Park.
Earlier this season, Vikings head coach Larry Muir said that loss still resonated with him and some of the players.
It served as motivation for the Vikings season.
And from the looks of it, it's paid off.
Valencia will go on the road to face Westlake High tonight at 7 p.m.
Behind an efficient offense and a formidable defense, the Vikings continue to be a program to keep an eye on.
"They're a good football team and they have a lot of good athletes," said Westlake head coach Jim Benkert. "We have to try to slow them down. They have a very good offensive line and are well coached. They are a hard-nosed football team that gives everything they have. We got our hands full."
Overcoming the Vikings will be an arduous task for the Warriors, but the same goes for Valencia.
Westlake is among some of the elite programs in the Northern Division.
Finishing 7-4 in league behind powerhouses Moorpark, Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park, Westlake's mission is to continue the program's success in the postseason.
Benkert, in his 20th season with the Warriors, has led Westlake to two CIF championships, one in 1999 and the other in 2003.
Benkert's record with Westlake is 164-70 and he is currently Ventura County's all-time wins leader.
In 2006, Canyon knocked out Westlake in the semifinals on its way to a first-ever state championship.
And a surprising second round upset to St. Bonaventure last season spoiled the Warriors chances at another CIF title.
However, the road to tonight's quarterfinal matchup has been a rocky one for Westlake.
Starting senior quarterback Ben Conlin, has been plagued with a separated shoulder injury all season but still continued to play sharing time with sophomore Nick Isham.
However, Conlin's season ended after the damage and the pain of his injury became too much.
"We played a tough schedule and our kids learned to play at a high level," Benkert said. "We stumbled along the way but they just want to win."
Isham, who started this season at wide receiver stepped in as the team's full-time signal caller when Conlin became sidelined.
"Nick's not coming in green," Benkert said. "He's had some time as quarterback all season. He's done a great job for us."
One of Isham's standout performances came in last Friday's first round 36-35 win over a then undefeated Oxnard.
Isham completed 24-of-39 passes for 359 yards and scored the winning touchdown on a 12-yard run in the final minutes of the game.
"We've seen our share (of running quarterbacks)," Muir said. "It always strikes fear in you when a quarterback can run against you."
Benkert said Valencia and Westlake are very comparable. Like Valencia, Benkert said they like to mix up the offense.
Two-time All-League selections, receivers Steve Hagy and James De La Cerna lead the Warriors group of wideouts.
"I'm proud of those two," Benkert said. "They've done an excellent job. They complement each other well."
Defensively, the Warriors are just as threatening.
All-State selection Justin Lilley at linebacker leads the Warriors defensive corps.
"He's our big gun," Benkert said.
Despite lacking in size and speed, Benkert said he doesn't have any defensive starters over 190-pounds, Westlake's competitors are averaging 23.7 points per game.
"We're small and that's been a problem with us when we play big physical football teams," Benkert said. "It's created a lot of problems."
Muir said the keys to this contest are simple.
"It's a combination of two things - one, their passing attack. They're very efficient on running routes. Last week and before our pass defense hasn't done its part. The defensive line has to get pressure. (Isham's) a runner."
And both Muir and Benkert anticipate an exciting matchup.
"Anytime Foothill and Marmonte get together it's going to be a good football game," Benkert said. "Those are rivalries we want to continue."

In December 1999, at Medicine Grand Rounds, David Kennedy, MD, discussed
the pathophysiology and diagnostic strategies and treatment options for acute
and chronic sinusitis. Mr S, a 48-year-old man, recounted a history of recurrent
episodes of sinusitis during a 21-year period. Early on, surgical drainage
improved symptoms, but over time, the episodes of postnasal drip, facial pain,
yellow nasal discharge, and malaise recurred. Multiple courses of antibiotics
seemed to work less well over time. He averaged about 8 episodes of sinusitis
per year. Dr Kennedy suggested a nasal endoscopy for Mr S. If chronic inflammation,
polyps, or edema were found, surgery would be reasonable to consider.

(1607 quotes found)
"You know what's interesting about Washington? It's the kind of place where second-guessing has become second nature."
"A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: "Duh.""
"Washington is nicknamed "The Evergreen State" because it sounds better than "The Incessant Nagging Drizzle State.""
"George Washington, as a boy, was ignorant of the commonest accomplishments of youth. He could not even lie."
"I served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia... and... with Dr. Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point."
"The Washington Bullets are changing their name. They don't want their team to be associated with crime. From now on, they'll just be known as the Bullets."
"When the [Supreme] Court moved to Washington in 1800, it was provided with no books, which probably accounts for the high quality of early opinions."
"Washington couldn't tell a lie, Nixon couldn't tell the truth, and Reagan couldn't tell the difference."

Hmmm. Just tried some sunflower butter for the first time. I don't know if I like it or not. It kinda tastes like peanut butter, but then again, doesn't. Maybe it's just this brand, too, but I can sorta taste the seed hulls. Kinda bitter and woody.
I dunno.....
This shit is so high in omega 6 it's just insane. 2 Tbsp is like 9000mg!!! On the other hand, it has high levels of a lot of vitamins and minerals, particularly Pantothenic Acid, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Copper and Manganese.
I think it would be good with honey. And I should really only eat like a little teaspoon of it at a time, I think. I just wanted to try it. I don't think I'm going to buy it again.

With buses they say you wait for ages and then two come along at once. But special places for nature are scarce and becoming rarer.
In an exciting partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, we've secured a special part of Scotland for nature and people.
Why is it so special?
Is it the stunning views with wetlands, woodlands and snow capped mountains (yes, they were still snow capped last week)? Or is it the wintering white-fronted geese that make a 3,000 mile round trip every year from Greenland?
Perhaps it's the 200+ species of flowering plant (an eighth of the species recorded in the whole of Britain)? Or maybe the lamprey, a primitive eel-like fish, which can be traced back to 200 million years before the dinosaurs existed? Possibly it's the vast range of small beasties that exist, often out of view.
Despite having only just got to know the site, I suspect it is all of the above and more. And that is at the centre of our plans.
We want to protect what we know is here, find what hasn't already been discovered and allow existing and new visitors more opportunities to enjoy the stories and experiences the landscape and wildlife has to offer.
Making it happen
Well, the first step has been taken.
Following support form the National Park Authority, SNH, the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the generous donations of our supporters through an appeal, we have secured purchase of the land. The next step will be to appoint a site manager (lucky devil!).
We have already started the important process of talking to the local communities, gathering information about the site and monitoring the wildlife. Next will be formulating a plan to improve the site over the coming years.
In the meantime, if you want to visit the reserve there is a path from the Millennium Hall in Gartocharn which will give you a flavour of the site and its potential.
Alistair Baxter is completing a PhD investigating the reasons behind Dotterel declines in Scotland. Read on to find out more about his exciting work...
Dotterel declines in Scotland: Out of sight out of mind?
Over the last thirty years, National Surveys led by the RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) have revealed dramatic declines in dotterel numbers across the UK. The most marked results have been the total disappearance of breeding dotterel from England, Wales, and many previously good breeding sites in Scotland. I am undertaking a PhD, aimed at identifying the factors leading to dotterel declines in Scotland over the last thirty years. It is easy to ignore bird species we rarely see or that are difficult to study, but I hope my work can shed some light on the reasons for declines in the dotterel and other montane bird species suffering a similar fate. Hopefully this project will be the catalyst to increasing interest and research in the uplands and I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences with dotterel and other montane bird species along the way.
Female dotterel singing on an early Cairngorm's morning.
Here's a bit of background on all things dotterel (Charadrius morinellus for those who collect fancy Latin names). Dotterel are extremely charismatic migratory plovers (wading birds) not much bigger than a blackbird. They arrive into the UK in late March-early April from North Africa having spent the winter months basking in the Atlas Mountains and gorging themselves in preparation for their strenuous summer schedule. Some of these birds will choose to settle and breed in montane areas of Scotland, however; the main bulk will pass through the UK onto the main European breeding grounds in Norway. Dotterel can be seen on passage, most notably on several sites in East Anglia. Unfortunately, for those of you with memories long enough to recall commonly sighting large flocks ('trips'), these occurrences are now few and far between; with dotterel declines in Norway thought to be at least as severe as those recorded in the UK.
Very snowy Cairngorms welcome the start of the field season.
After arriving in Scotland, dotterel head for mountain plateaus above 700m in altitude where they are to be found breeding until mid-August. Whatever the reasons for dotterel choosing to breed and spend their summers in some of the most inhospitable areas of the UK, this provides a researcher and outdoor enthusiast with the mouth-watering opportunity to carry out fieldwork in some truly breathtaking mountain surroundings!
A nice bright female dotterel.
The first fieldwork day dawned early and, through my inexperienced eyes, it was far too cold, misty, and 'dreich' for fieldwork....apparently not! I would soon find out this is actually an above average summer's day on the Scottish tops. Unperturbed, James Gordon (my RSPB Research Assistant), Dr. Steven Ewing (RSPB supervisor), and I headed up one of the study sites I would be collecting the bulk of my data and intensively surveying over the next three field seasons. Predictably, having spent the previous month carrying out capercaillie surveys for the RSPB, James set the pace and as I puffed, cursed, and panted behind him I began to realise why the montane regions of Scotland remain so under-studied. However, as we emerged over the last rise, we were surrounded by mist and stood on a dense moss carpet which blanketed much of the summit plateau the effort became totally worthwhile and I felt privileged to have the chance to spend so much time in such a place.
With dotterel habitat use and habitat changes the particular focus of this first year, we spent most of the day on hands and knees rooting around in moss and heather and discussing teething issues with what I thought I'd so elegantly (if not slightly optimistically) planned in my office in Aberdeen. The following inevitable scaling back of my grand plans also seemed a feature of the first few days as the realisation of scale in mountain fieldwork became apparent. Despite all the changes in plans, still revelling at the possibility of effectively living in the mountains for the next four months I felt it had been an incredibly productive first day. There was however still time to see the bird I'd be studying for the next three years and a distinctive metallic "peep" had us all scanning the horizon. A bright female stood seemingly unafraid only 40m away. Partly because of their tame nature (defence mechanism to draw predators away from eggs/chicks), the gaelic name for dotterel is 'amadan-mòintich' meaning 'fool of the moor'; presumably due the ease with which they could be caught/hunted. Despite this, dotterel can in fact be incredibly inconspicuous and not least when incubating eggs; you can walk within a metre of some incubating males and be none the wiser. It is fortunate the Scottish summer days are so long as locating dotterel, let alone incubating male dotterel, can be a time consuming and patience testing business. I have of course been lucky enough to see dotterel almost every day since and as a result of the obligatory eight to ten miles walk each day and five Munros (3000ft hills) a week the fieldwork has thankfully got a lot easier.
Incubating male dotterel- notice how dull it is compared with the female in the first photo.
Much of this year's fieldwork is repeating ecology studies carried out during the 1980s by SNH. By re-assessing habitat availability, habitat quality, and invertebrate abundance we hope to see if changes in these factors have caused the declines in dotterel numbers since the 1980s. Even after a difficult start to this season, with huge amounts of snow and sub-zero temperatures in May, the dotterel have begun to breed (better late than never!) and we are currently monitoring 11 nests across three sites. We focus nest searching on areas where only single male dotterel are present as this is taken as strong evidence of breeding. Unusually for a bird species it is only the males that incubate chicks. In fact, although on some sites females will contribute to incubating eggs there are no published records of females helping to rear chicks and they will usually leave the male about a day after laying the whole clutch of speckled brown eggs.
Male dotterel brooding three chicks.
Over the last three days we have had the first chicks of the season hatch and it seems all the nest finding effort early in the season is coming to fruition. The mountains seem thriving with life at the moment and I've found it amazing to see how the tops change over the dotterel breeding season, with dull grey moss turning to the deep pinky red of bilberry and the rich green of three-leaved rush. The birds are also at their noisiest and most vibrant at this time of year, with chicks of Golden plover, dunlin, and ptarmigan well on their way to fledging, parents are busy feeding hungry mouths and warding off those who get too close.
A "loafing" Ptarmigan – I've never seen a bird species that spends so much time sitting down!
I hope you've enjoyed reading my first instalment of this blog and I'll bring you an update of how the remainder of this first field season panned out in August. Until then, keep your fingers crossed the stay at home dotterel dads are working as hard as we are, if so we'll soon have juvenile dotterel on the wing and preparing for the long migration South!

ERS tracks the supply of food available for consumption in the United States and examines consumer food preferences by consumers' age, income, region, race/ethnicity, and place where food is obtained, as well as by food/commodity categories and other characteristics. Descriptive statistics of commodity consumption help inform producers about who consumes their commodities, how and where their commodities are consumed, and how much is consumed. This information helps the food and agriculture industry improve its promotion strategies. In addition, USDA agencies have used commodity consumption data for regulatory analyses.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) maintains two sources of data on U.S. food consumption that are integral to the Federal Government's ongoing efforts to monitor the health and dietary status of U.S. citizens. These sources are:
When used together, these sources provide a comprehensive picture of the Nation's eating habits and support the coordinated research program outlined in the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990.

People: Stop Putting Bumbos on Elevated SurfacesMolly Thornberg
So in today's news of obvious things you shouldn't do, the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission has issued a safety alert in regards to Bumbo Baby Seats. Why? Because Bumbos are being used on elevated surfaces and babies are falling down resulting in head injuries.
I can see how one would think, hey, let's put the baby up on the table in the Bumbo — just don't. Babies, especially wobbly infants, can arch or rock making it easy for them to fall out of, or tip, the Bumbo. Baby tipping over Bumbo equals not good.
The federal agency says it is aware of at least 45 incidents involving infants falling out of Bumbo Baby Seats which were placed on a table, counter top or in an adult-sized chair. Of those reports, 17 babies less than 12-months in age received skull fractures from their falls. The CPSC and Bumbo International say they have also received an additional 50 reports of falls involving seats that were used on the floor or at "unknown elevations."
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission has issued a safety alert for Bumbo Baby Seats, reminding parents not to use the infant chairs on table tops or other elevated surfaces.
From cpsc.gov
We love our Bumbo and have used with the last two babies. It's a great little chair that is fabulous for taking photos and is a great alternative to a bouncy chair. But people, for the love of your child, don't put the Bumbo with your baby on a table or chair!

Avoid misusing your baby products with these 5 tips to remember!

Mercyhurst Prep girls win silver in golf
YORK -- The Mercyhurst Prep girls golf team had a long but enjoyable ride home from York Wednesday night.
Draped in their silver medals and bringing back a trophy to the school, the Lakers were elated with a runner-up finish in the Class AA girls tournament at the PIAA Team Golf Championships at Heritage Hills Golf Resort.
Mercyhurst Prep recorded a best 4-of-5 players score of 368. The District 10 champions were 26 strokes behind Central Valley of District 7.
The Harbor Creek and Meadville boys both finished sixth in their respective Class AA and Class AAA tournaments.
Mercyhurst Prep was led by junior Georgia Capotis with an 85 and sophomore Grace Brzozowski adding an 87. Seniors Catherine McElhinny and Becky Bargielski both shot 98, while senior Jillian Johannes had a 104 that did not count in the final total.
"The course was a real challenge, but we all played our best and really had a good time,'' Capotis said. "We never saw Heritage Hills until (Tuesday) in the practice round, and the greens here are very tough. But it was an absolutely gorgeous day that I can't believe it's late October. All I can say is that everyone is very happy.''
Mercyhurst first-year coach Kathy Lynch was thrilled by her team's performance.
"They all played really well, probably the best overall this season considering the course,'' Lynch said. "Everyone contributed, and we're ecstatic to finish second. The PIAA does a tremendous job with the tournament, everything is first class, and the first- and second-place teams both got trophies and silver medals. We're all wearing ours in the van on our way back home. I think they'll all sleep with them on, as well.''
Harbor Creek totaled 349, led by senior Teven Vargo's 85. Vargo played in the AA individual tournament the previous two days at Heritage Hills.
Freshman Jacob VanSlyke had 87, senior Cody Stinson 88, junior A.J. Rogers 89 and senior Joe Zoltowski 97.
Wyomissing (District 3) won a playoff on the first hole to beat Holy Redeemer (District 2). Both teams recorded 321.
Meadville freshman Zack Ford shot 79 and sophomore Charlie Holt 80 as the Bulldogs totaled 337. Senior Will Malady had 88, senior Mike Bogardus 90 and junior Dalton Zelasco 91.
Manheim Township (District 3), led by AAA individual champion Craig Hornberger's 2-under-par 69, shot 299 to edge Council Rock North (District 1), which had girls AAA winner Erica Herr and her sister Madeline on the boys team, by two strokes.
Radnor (District 1) won the AAA girls title with a 325 total.

Bennett Miller's baseball drama Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Robin Wright, collected $6.75 million at the North American box office on Friday, Sept. 23, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. [Photo: Chris Pratt.]
One of the best reviewed releases of the year, Moneyball opened with a solid – though hardly outstanding – figure for an "adult" movie. For comparison's sake: at about the same time last year, David Fincher's widely acclaimed The Social Network took in $8 million on opening day, while Oliver Stone's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, which was greeted by mixed reviews, collected $6.9 million.
Comparing Moneyball to Dennis Dugan's 2006 baseball flick The Benchwarmers, which went on to gross $59 million domestically (and very little abroad) doesn't sound fair, as the latter is a low-brow comedy. Comparisons to Phil Alden Robinson's Oscar-nominated 1989 drama Field of Dreams wouldn't work either, as Robinson's baseball movie starring Kevin Costner debuted at only 22 theaters.
Moneyball was written by The Social Network's Aaron Sorkin and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Steven Zaillian, from a "story" by Stan Chervin based on Michael Lewis' book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. In addition to Brad Pitt, Robin Wright, and Chris Pratt, Moneyball also features Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Stephen Bishop. The likely Oscar contender's distributor is Columbia/Sony Pictures, the same company that brought you The Social Network.
At no. 2 on Friday, Disney's The Lion King 3D pulled in $6.05 million. Since kiddie flicks tend to perform better on the weekend proper, chances are The Lion King will have the top spot at the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row.
Directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, The Lion King features songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, and the voices of Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Robert Guillaume, Moira Kelly, Rowan Atkinson, and Cheech Marin.
Nathan Gamble, Austin Stowell, Dolphin Tale
Dolphin Tale was the no. 3 movie at the North American box office on Friday, Sept. 23, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The 3D drama based on real-life events collected $5.11 million at 3,507 locations, and – as a movie appealing to the weekend matinee crowd – it may possibly end up ahead of Brad Pitt's Moneyball when final weekend figures are tallied.
Directed by Charles Martin Smith, the star of the 1983 nature drama Never Cry Wolf, Dolphin Tale has a solid 88 percent approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes' top critics. The cast includes Harry Connick Jr, Ashley Judd, Nathan Gamble, Austin Stowell, Frances Sternhagen, Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Kris Kristofferson, and Morgan Freeman.
Taylor Lautner's first solo starring vehicle, Abduction, grossed $3.8 million at no. 4. Despite the horrible reviews – 0 percent approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes' top critics – and the fact that Lautner is an as-yet unproven leading man, the John Singleton-directed thriller is expected to reach $11 million by Sunday evening – unless Friday turns out to have been the film's top day thanks to eager twihards who can't wait until November and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 to take a look at their idol.
On the other hand, if the $11 million estimate is correct, then that's more than what Nicolas Winding Refn's widely acclaimed Drive earned last weekend in spite of the presence of Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. And at Deadline.com, Nikki Finke claims that Lionsgate's Abduction marketing expenses were one-fourth the amount Warner Bros. spent on Dolphin Tale and Sony Pictures on Moneyball.
In addition to Lautner, Abduction features Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello, Michael Nyqvist, and Alfred Molina. Shawn Christensen penned the screenplay.
At no. 5, the action/thriller Killer Elite, starring Jason Statham and Robert De Niro, opened with $3.5 million and may reach $10 million by Sunday evening. I'm willing to bet that Abduction will remain ahead of Killer Elite for the weekend; we'll find out if I'm right on Sunday morning, when weekend estimates are released.
Steven Soderbergh's Contagion took in $2.62 million at no. 6. The disease & hysteria drama stars Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, John Hawkes, Laurence Fishburne, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Contagion was followed by Drive with $1.88 million. Despite the generally excellent reviews, chances are Drive won't be on the top-ten chart very much longer.
At no. 8, The Help pulled in $1.31 million. Tate Taylor's comedy-drama featuring Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Sissy Spacek, Cicely Tyson, Mary Steenburgen, and others, passed the $150 million milestone on Thursday. Its current total is $151.35 million.
Rounding out the top ten were Rod Lurie-James Marsden-Kate Bosworth's Straw Dogs with $685k and Sarah Jessica Parker's I Don't Know How She Does It with $677,000.
Among the top ten, The Lion King 3D, boosted by 3D surcharges, posted the highest per-theater average, $2,577. I Don't Know How She Does It posted the lowest, $272, followed by Straw Dogs' $284. That means last weekend's newcomers will be gone rather rapidly.

Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Moneyball
Moneyball is one of the best reviewed releases of the year. The fact that Brad Pitt has the lead in this baseball movie certainly hasn't hurt it. As a result, the Bennett Miller-directed Moneyball opened in North America with an estimated $6.8 million on Friday, Sept. 23, according to early, rough estimates found at The Hollywood Reporter.
Considering that Moneyball is perceived as an "adult" movie, the expected $20 million by Sunday evening isn't bad at all. Now, it's debatable whether Moneyball will remain on top before the weekend is over, for Disney's The Lion King 3D may earn about as much after pulling in $6 million on Friday. Remember, kiddie flicks tend to perform better on the weekend proper.
At no. 3 on Friday was Dolphin Tale, which took in an estimated $5 million. This inspirational drama itself inspired by real-life events will likely get a solid Saturday/Sunday boost as well.
Taylor Lautner's solo starring debut, Abduction, collected around $4 million at no. 4. Despite the mostly horrible reviews and the fact that Lautner is an as-yet unproven leading man, the John Singleton-directed thriller is expected to reach at least $11 million by Sunday evening. If estimates are correct, that's more than what the widely acclaimed Drive earned last weekend in spite of the presence of Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.
The action/thriller Killer Elite, starring Jason Statham and Robert De Niro, should come in at no. 5 with about $3.7 million on Friday and $10 million or so over the weekend.

Jordan Belfort had his eyes set on the American dream as a young, penny stockbroker. But in Martin Scorsese's latest work, it is clear that money is the root of all evil, along with drugs, orgies, and diabolic schemes. In a time before Enron and Bernie Madoff, Belfort's company, Stratton Oakmont made tons of money selling junk stocks to unsuspecting buyers, raking in astronomical amounts of money. But in Scorsese's over-the-top, overly long take on Belfort's rise and fall, the examination excessive greed and debauchery appears careless and scenes drone on in senseless rhetoric. In short, it appears editing this film was not a consideration, (running time is 3 solid hours) a consideration that may have made the film as tight and focused as the excellent film, 'Goodfellas,' of which Wolf is unapologetically modeled.
As a master filmmaker perhaps Scorsese is allowed freedoms, allowed to explore and take risk, an admirable assumption as The Wolf of Wall Street meanders between evident brilliance and cringe-worthy ridiculousness. The brilliance, thankfully, comes in the form of balls-to-the-wall performances from its main cast. Leonardo DiCaprio is dynamite as Belfort, grabbing one by the throat and demanding to be watched and heard. As Belfort he [DiCaprio] is a view of insanity, gluttonous drug-use and egomania, and one finds themselves captivated as he leans in with a furrowed brow and says, "Sell me this pen."
Along with DiCaprio, Academy Award nominated Jonah Hill, who has grown up and graduated from the one-dimensional Apatow camp, delivers another grand performance as the cowardice accomplice of Belfort in the role of Donnie Azoff. Complete with a set of cartoonish teeth and even more cartoonish wardrobe, Azoff avoids becoming a static character and legitimizes the film's blatant hyperbolic slant.
The flaw in The Wolf of Wall Street is its avoidance of balance. Although there are scenes when Belfort reveals theories behind his greed and a Robin Hood mentality, the dramatic wealth of an impending FBI investigation becomes lost in the fray, causing one to take in far too much implausibility.
Although not as focused, one could argue Belfort's high-wired life was indeed one frenetic blur altered by Quaaludes and cocaine, and Scorsese's lean toward the excessive lifestyle was solely to show the absurdity of one man's quest for money and power. DiCaprio's performance is powerful enough, as well as Hill's portrayal of Donnie Azoff and a quick, scene thieving cameo by Matthew McConaughey as Mark Hanna, a man he would later model in his career, but the film's length kills its power.
The Wolf of Street does not take itself serious, which may save the movie from obtaining the title of Martin Scorsese's lesser work, but if one is to take this ride, be sure to buckle up and keep an open mind.
This movie is now playing.

It might be a surprise to many people from the Western World that there is great history of koi tattoo symbolism in the Eastern World. These fishes are hugely reputable and solely recognized as the most beautiful fishes in Japan. The history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism traces back to the myths and mysteries of that time. Moreover, these fishes look beautiful in every color, shade and depict its own grace in every color.
These colorful and bright fishes, when splashed in water gain a momentum which gives them energy and the utmost of strength. Likewise, the history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism also depicts that a koi fish tattoo is filled with thorough zeal and zest. This tattoo induces a feeling of strength, bravery and confidence which is necessary to keep up with this world. So, before getting tattooed a colored koi fish, one must be sure of its origination and the history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism.
Time tells us:
The history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism has been traced back to the early days of Japan. At that time, each and every temple was featured with a well maneuvered small pond which contained beautiful koi fishes. In most parts of China and as weel as Japan, koi fish is also termed as the "Carp Fish".
The original story was drawn by a Buddhist teacher in China. According to him, it was a strong belief that the fish (koi) would swim all the way upstream, dazzling its way through the currents and up on the waterfall. Unsurprisingly, the myth here, describes this as a pure legacy of the fish. It would swim to the Yellow River; onto the waterfall, also termed as the "Dragon Gate". This koi fish, when enters into the Dragon Gate transforms itself to a Dragon. Dragons also contributed generously to the history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism.
Hence, in China koi fishes were a symbol of great strength and character. It gave them the hope to rise. The same myth was adopted by the Japanese people. In Japan, this koi fish has been included as a part and parcel of every family. People follow this myth, to the extent that on tha annual Boy's Day, people fly huge flags of koi, resembling the boys' strength and toughness to the colorful fish.
In Japan, the history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism is ever increasingly growing. To date, this koi fish means everything to the Japanese. Obviously, these expressions cannot be put or transformed into words. The meaning for this symbol has laid such an impact, that it is hard for us to summarize it in a paragraph.
The history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism stands for an allure things. For instance, as mentioned above that in Japan, the koi fish is believed to be a symbol of character and encourage the feeling of being together as a unit. Henceforth, the fish can be assumed as a sign of family unity and strength.
There is will, there is always a way!
Secondly, it induces a gut feeling to overcome the hurdles in daily lives as the koi fish does. It climbs all above to the Dragon gate and gains impetus to fight the world. This gesture also symbolizes the fact that by holding hands on hands, nothing can be achieved. There is consistent work and struggle necessary to achieve something. Hence, the history of Koi Tattoo Symbolism fortifies the myth as a sign of courage and bravery.
Due to this gesture, Japan has been globally symbolized as the most mentally tough nations of the world. The secret behind this is legacy of koi tattoo symbolism, gives them an impetus to fight the world, heads on.

Got this free and I love it, great to shirt to train in. Fits well on a small body but will stretch when I make them gains! Will defiantly buy another one soonGoes Well With:Myprotein slim fit tracksuit. Just about any other training gear
Decent sized and well made tshirt. Im about a 48-50 inch chest and a xxl fits me ok. Good length in the tshirt as well. Too many tshirts are short and pull up when pressing etc
Ordered a couple of these fellas when they went on offer and i can honestly say I have never looked so slick prancing around a gym in my life. I feel like every time i put this beautiful garment around my godly torso time stands still. People seem to be in awe and quickly vacant any benches or racks as I approach. I am unsure how true this actually is but I have seen my biceps increase by 3 inches when i wear this. Also another very questionable statement is that my lifts all shoot up by approx 30% when using this. lovely stuffGoes Well With:shorts, socks, albinos
Great top and really comfy to wear
I thought I'd buy a My Protein branded shirt for the gym as I'm a regular customer. It's a good fit. I was able to get a large and it's not too baggy fits perfectly. All the work in the gym must be doing some good. My size before lifting was a medium!
Order came next day as it said and delivery service was very helpful telling me what time my delivery was being delivered. Product is good quality and perfect to wear In the gym
I read all the reviews before buying this t-shirt. I bought the black one. I like it but I find it too baggy in the bottom part. I am a kind of stocky guy and got the Medium size thinking it would fit perfect because I don't like to wear loose clothes. The upper part and chest looks good but in the bottom part is too loose good for a guy with a huge belly. I should have ordered small size but I think it will have the same problem with the bottom part. Goes Well With:good to wear all day for every occasion.
Great value for money!! I was looking for T-shirts to wear, when training, that weren't so fitted i felt uncomfortable but not so baggy i looked Huge. Fits the bill perfectly :) Very happy, would recommend to anyone and will definitely be purchasing more.
Very good material and quality. Very good for the price and would highly recommend as a good gym top.

Loved the simple design, great to wear in the gym and to wear casually.
Great fit, nice colour and a really good quality material.
Good quality material excellent for cardio and is breathable. However I have a 42" chest and brought a small to my surprise it came up still big on me for reference i am 11 stone 6 and 5ft 9. All in all a very nice addition to gym wear collection

I'm a size L/M depending on the top ordered a L and it's a perfect fit, stretchy material nice and tight in the right places. Definitely ordering all of the colours! On top of that I ordered last night and it was all here by 2 today. Best company!
This is a great T-Shirt, the material is high quality and feels great to wear. It fits very well and is perfect for use in the gym. Recommend this to all.
The fabric is very high quality, it is stretching very well, I suppose the material is a bit different than the stringers, it is smoother and gives a great feeling when you wear them. No problem for any muscle movements.. I bought blue, white and black colour together to match the jogging pants that I wear for each day. Definitely a great buy.
A really awesome t-shirt! Feels very good on your chest and arms.. Probably the best t-shirt I own because of the fabric! -Can't go wrong with one... Or plenty of these!Goes Well With:Both your everyday clothes and gym clothes.

Force of habit, Morristown coach Bobby Jones lays out his suit in anticipation this time of year.
After back-to-back trips to "The Rock," skating for the NJSIAA title each of the last two seasons, Jones, who is a physical education teacher, does not wear suits often but when he does he wants to look his best.
"I never get to wear suits so when I get a chance to wear one I relish it. This year, I laid it out before the Chatham game," Jones said. "I had a really good feeling about it."
Morristown skated off with a good feeling too after giving it everything it could muster and more to upset top-seed and defending state champion, Chatham, 2-1 in the wee hours at Mennen Arena in Morris Township Thursday night. Morristown, which has had to gut out every play to the last whistle this season, gave Jones a chance to put on his a suit for the third season in a row at the New Jersey Devils' 2014 High School Finals Luncheon Friday at The Prudential Center in Newark.
"Preparation -- this is the time of year if you're a hockey fan you love it. And the kids love it too, they're giving it their all," Jones, in his sixth season as coach at Morristown, said. "That's the crazy thing about playoff hockey this time of year, anyone can win at any time."
After falling to Randolph in 2013, Morristown left broken-hearted after being denied by Chatham last season, so its victory over the defending champions in the semifinals this winter must have been the icing on the cake.
Still, the goal which had eluded it the previous two seasons, remains at hand. Jones and his staff which includes brother, Steven, and Jimmy Ryan and Evan Mager, are not satisfied just being here this time.
"Getting here my sophomore year we were ecstatic. It was out first big step. From then on we knew, the players coming up knew, that we could do this," senior Brian Begley said. "This year, it's all business. We want to win so badly after losing the past two years. This is my last chance I'm going to get. Got to pull it out."
Four of its last five playoff games including the Mennen Cup have been one-goal games. If you remove the 11 goals it scored against Park Regional the second game of the season, Morristown has only totaled 63 goals in 26 games. Fortunately, it carries with it two-time All-State goaltender Shane Brown who is looking for a different ending to his junior season.
"Losing to Chatham in the state final was heartbreaking because we knew we could've done it," Begley, with nine goals and 24 assists this campaign, said. "And for them being the best public school all year, beating everyone including us, and we come out out-hustling, out-working them shows what this team's all about.
"At this point, it's all heart and desire," Begley said.
Morristown is 15-8-4 this season.
"It's awesome to be back again. This first one was nice, but this one, we really had to work hard for this one so it means a lot. We're comfortable and we're going to enjoy the day. The luncheon is a great experience, we're going to take it in and get down to business tomorrow," Jones said.
"We're a different team than we were in the past. We are a harder working team and you can tell by the sacrifice all over the ice. Sunday is going to be a tough test for us, but were going to be ready to go."

Yash Raj Chopra is an Indian film director, screenwriter and film producer, predominantly working in Hindi cinema. Chopra began his career as an assistant director to I.S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He made his directorial debut with Dhool Ka Phool in 1959, a melodrama about illegitimacy and followed it with the hard-hitting social drama Dharmputra (1961). Encouraged by the success of both films, the Chopra brothers made several more movies together during the late fifties and sixties. Chopra then rose to prominence after the commercially and critically successful drama, Waqt (1965), which pioneered the concept of multi-starters in Bollywood. In 1973, Chopra founded his own production company, Yash Raj Films, and launched it with Daag: A Poem of Love (1973), a successful melodrama about a polygamous man.

A group of young men who were at a graduation party where gunshots killed a 19-year-old woman and wounded four others early Saturday morning were standing around at the scene near Moncks Corner on Saturday afternoon trying to figure out what happened.
"I honestly don't know who was shooting or why they were shooting," said Rashad Johnson, a 20-year-old from Moncks Corner who works at Boeing. "It's sad. People can't even have a good time anymore and somebody's got to pull out a gun. They've got to do something about the guns."
It was supposed to be a celebration for those who had just graduated from high school or finished a year in college, according to the young men who were there.
About 1,500 people showed up on Tish Lane, a dirt road in the rural Longridge community west of Moncks Corner. They came from all over, many from out of state, according to witnesses.
Gunshots rang out shortly after midnight. People started running in all directions.
"It was chaotic," Johnson said. "Just duck and hope nothing hits you."
Several people fell into the muddy ditch that runs alongside the road. Others jumped in on purpose to get out of the way.
Johnson lost his car keys in the murky water.
Kwamaine Simmons, 24, spoke quietly, saying he was thankful to be alive.
"My car got messed up," he said. "It was a crazy night."
They recalled people carrying one young woman onto the porch of the house.
Ariel Elaine Morgan, 19, of Moncks Corner, died at Medical University Hospital at 2:45 a.m., Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said.
Friends said she just graduated from Stratford High School.
She was working as a clerk at Rack Room Shoes, according to Scott's Mortuary, which is handling funeral arrangements.
Four other people were taken to hospitals for treatment. Information on their conditions was not available Saturday.
"It was just a little something for the graduates and people coming home from college," Johnson said. "Why did somebody have to mess it up?"
Anyone who was at the party or has any information on the shootings is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 843-761-4412 or Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111.
Dave Munday at 937-5553.
