Terrapin lacrosse player Ryan Young was arrested and charged with DWI on Aug. 2, just four months after teammate Travis Reed was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession.

The Terps took the field at Byrd Stadium for the first of three official intrasquad scrimmages Saturday evening. The defense put on the red. The offense donned the white. Overall, the defense dominated, forcing a pair of turnovers and holding the offense to 17 points despite often being stuck with a short field.

USA field hockey still has a shot at the medal round, but the US soccer team was knocked out of contention yesterday after a loss to Nigeria.

Warsaw: Poland's second city

On Aug. 1, several days of celebrations commenced in Krakow. There were military parades, banners, food and performances. The festivities were a little weird to a foreigner who knew little of Polish history, but it finally made sense when I went to Warsaw.
