I'm sure you know that ZooCamp has been a popular summer tradition here at the Oakland Zoo for many years. But did you know that recently the ZooCamp program has expanded by offering three all new camp sessions? Taking full advantage of the various breaks in the school year, ZooCamp is now offered at Spring Break, Winter Break and even Thanksgiving. Now, your kids can experience the joys of ZooCamp throughout the year.
It all started in 2010 with an idea by veteran ZooCamp Director Sarah Cramer. After inquiring at other institutions that offered similar events, Sarah wanted to test-run a new four-day camp session between Christmas and New Years. She had no idea how popular this new camp would be. In fact, the premier of the Winter Break Camp greatly surpassed all expectations. At that point, Sarah knew she was on to something big. It wasn't long before she had initiated two additional camp sessions, bringing the total to four. A new era in ZooCamp history had begun.
"Most of the kids we see at camp are repeat visitors," says Sarah. "They come two, three, or more years in a row. They have camp friends and favorite teachers that they look forward to seeing all year. These new camps are a way to keep these kids connected year round."
What's unique about these new camp sessions is their shorter format. In contrast to the weeklong structure of summer ZooCamp, campers can sign up for any number of the two-day sessions being offered. Sarah has found that this format offers more flexibility for parents who are trying to coordinate other family events during these busy holiday periods.
As one of many places offering family-friendly activities in the Bay Area, the Oakland Zoo realizes that its guests have a variety of choices when it comes to spending their leisure time dollars. That's why the Zoo strives to give a good value with all of it programs, especially ZooCamp. As one parent recently commented about her child's love of ZooCamp, "It's expensive, but it's worth it." In fact, hearing the many favorable comments from enthusiastic kids would make a believer out of just about anyone.
And guess what– the new Spring Break ZooCamp is just around the corner, in April! Here are some of the cool things your kids can look forward to. Nature Play (our most popular summer program) is lots of fun: looking under rocks in the creek, catching tadpoles, searching for various kinds of bugs, even building forts out of materials easily found here at the park. Nature Play is what being a kid is all about.
Then there's Zoofari, an adventurous expedition around the Oakland Zoo. Your kids get to tour zoo exhibits, make treats for the animals, play games, sing songs, meet some animals up close, and make new friends. Offered as a kind of "best of summer camp sampler," this program is a great introduction for kids who have not participated in our full-week summer camp.
This year, Spring Break ZooCamp is offering four (4) two-day sessions: April 2-3 and 4-5, and then the following week on April 9-10 and 11-12. Registration is currently underway. It's easy. Simply click here to visit the ZooCamp web page, where you'll find further information, including fees and policies. By the way, registration for our popular Summer ZooCamp program starts March 12 for our Zoo members. So check out the new ZooCamps being offered year round at the Oakland Zoo. We'll see you there!

Search through millions of records to find out more.
November 13, 1907 — Lukow, Poland
Mendel was one of six children born to a religious Jewish family. When Mendel was in his early 20s, he married and moved with his wife to her hometown of Wolomin, near Warsaw. One week after the Rozenblits' son, Avraham, was born, Mendel's wife died. Distraught after the death of his young wife and left to care for a baby, Mendel married his sister-in-law Perele.
1933-39: In Wolomin Mendel ran a lumber yard. In 1935 the Rozenblits had a daughter, Tovah. When Avraham and Tovah were school age, they began attending a Jewish day school, where they studied general subjects in Polish and Jewish subjects in Hebrew. Avraham was 8 and Tovah was 4 when the Germansinvaded Poland on September 1, 1939.
1940-44: By the fall of 1940 the Rozenblit family had been sent to the Warsaw ghetto. During the ghetto uprising in April 1943, Mendel and his family managed to escape to the outskirts of Warsaw. They decided that if anyone should get lost in the chaos, they would all meet at a designated farmhouse. Suddenly, Avraham disappeared. Perele set out to find him, and was never seen again. Mendel eventually found Avraham, shoeless, at the farmhouse. Not long after, Mendel, Avraham and Tovah were arrested and deported to Auschwitz.
At Auschwitz Mendel was selected for hard labor. His children were gassed. In 1947 Mendel emigrated to the United States, where he began a new family.

Chanel Couture Spring 2013 Gallery & Review
In which Karl Lagerfeld builds a fake forest inside the Grand Palais and sends gay brides down the runway.
Chanel's couture show was a humble and understated affair. LOL JKS! It was a case of The Sims meets real life, as a wildly imaginative Karl Lagerfeld actually played god, constructing a replica forest inside Paris' Grand Palais complete with singing birds and a runway which resembled a hidden path. Because, Chanel couture.
The clothes themselves were approached with a similar sense of whimsy and romanticism, featuring a fuckload of feathers, soft colours, muted metallics, tulle and Victorian lace. There was also a strong floral theme — bright bloom prints, 3D flower appliqués, and sequined floral dresses that you could imagine being worn equally by Grimes on stage and Diane Kruger on the red carpet, both whom sat front row. The make-up had an almost Clockwork Orange quality to it; exaggerated eyelashes made of lace were created especially for the show (no word yet on whether these will be available for retail).
While the show was fantastical, it was also rooted in reality. Two female brides (Kati Nescher and Ashleigh Good) closed the show hand-in-hand with a ring bearer in tow, and one can't help but read this as being Chanel's way of celebrating the French government's recent decision to legalise same-sex marriage.
Oyster girls Julia Nobis (shot by Rene Vaile for #88) and Lindsey Wixson (our #95 cover star) also walked the runway.

Alexis Rockman (b. 1962) has been depicting the natural world with virtuosity and wit for more than two decades. He was one of the first contemporary artists to build his career around exploring environmental issues, from evolutionary biology and genetic engineering to deforestation and climate change. Rockman has garnered attention for embracing these issues, as well as for the epic quality of his projects, including several monumentally scaled canvases. His work expresses deep concerns about the world's fragile ecosystems and the tension between nature and culture, which are communicated through vivid, even apocalyptic, imagery. Rockman achieves his vision through a synthesis of fantasy and empirical fact, using sources as varied as natural history, botanical illustrations, museum dioramas, science fiction films, realist art traditions dating back to the Renaissance, and firsthand field study.
Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow is the first major survey of the artist's work and features 47 paintings and works on paper from private and public collections. The title of the exhibition is taken from the opening chapter of Rachel Carson's influential 1962 book Silent Spring. In it, Carson combines two seemingly incompatible literary genres—mythic narrative and factual reportage. Rockman approaches his paintings with a similar intent.
The exhibition traces Rockman's artistic development from the mid-1980s to the present. Highlights include Evolution (1992), his first mural-sized painting, and Manifest Destiny (2003-2004), an ambitious large-scale work commissioned by the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The exhibition is organized by Joanna Marsh, The James Dicke Curator of Contemporary Art.
The accompanying book, co-published by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and London-based D Giles Limited, is written by Joanna Marsh with contributions from Thomas Lovejoy, biodiversity chair at the H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment in Washington, D.C.; Kevin J. Avery, senior research scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and a foreword by Elizabeth Broun, The Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Marsh's essay weaves the themes of Rockman's career and the history of America's environmental movement into a cohesive narrative. Avery considers Rockman's art historical references to 19th-century painting, while Lovejoy offers insights in the marriage of art and science in Rockman's work from the perspective of an expert on biodiversity and climate change. The book is for sale ($49.95/$35 softcover) through the museum's website and store, and at bookstores nationwide.

What do we know about pleats? We know it's defined as a "type of fold formed by doubling fabric back upon itself and securing it in place." But, did you know there are 11 types of pleats? I didn't either!
All I do know, is that when I went shopping the other day, I saw a lot of pleated pieces. Oh, and I'm not a big fan of ironing pleats. Too tedious! But, I do love the way they look. I'm kind of eyeing the burgundy Evans pleated maxi skirt (#11).
So, what do you think?
Are pleats the way to go?

Confederate States of America Years of service United States Army 1830–1861

Colonel (CSA) Commands held Commandant of the Confederate States Marine Corps Battles/wars Mexican-American War
American Civil War Other work Alderman of the City of Richmond, Virginia
Lloyd James Beall (October 19, 1808 – November 10, 1887) was a United States Army officer and paymaster. During the American Civil War, he served as a colonel and as Commandant of the Confederate States Marine Corps. He was the only man to command the Confederate marines throughout the conflict.Contents
He was born at Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island, the son of Lloyd Beall and Elizabeth Waugh Jones, who were Marylanders. Beall was a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1830. He also attended the Cavalry School of Saumur, France, from 1840 to 1842, to learn the French Army's system of Dragoon exercise.
In 1844, Beall was promoted to major in the U.S. Army. He served in the Black Hawk and Seminole Wars and in the Mexican-American War.
He was a U.S. Army paymaster stationed at St. Louis, Missouri, when the Civil War began.[1]Civil War service
Siding with the Confederate States of America , Beall tendered his resignation and headed south. Beall was appointed a colonel in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States. On May 23, 1861, the Secretary of the Confederate States Navy, Stephen Mallory, appointed Beall as Colonel Commandant of the Confederate States Marine Corps, the only person to hold that position, and Beall served in that capacity throughout the war.
He married Frances Hayne (ca. 1820-?), daughter of South Carolina Senator Arthur P. Hayne.
As an administrator during the war, Beall's military knowledge and experience remained an untapped resource. He worked hard to have the Confederate Marine Corps receive the personnel, supplies and other benefits accorded to other branches of the military. The training of officers and enlisted Marines took place at the Marines' Barrack's Camp Beall, just a short distance south of Richmond, Virginia, at Drewry's Bluff overlooking the James River. By the end of the war, he had succeeded in helping improve the resources available to the Marine Corps and established a separate Marine training camp in Charleston, South Carolina; several permanent stations on the Mississippi River and Atlantic Seaboard.
Thanks, in part, to Beall's efforts, the Confederate Marines gained a reputation for distinguished combat service, on the sea and land.Postbellum career
After the Civil War, Beall lived in Richmond, Virginia,[2][3] and kept most of the Confederate States Marine Corps records at his home. Much of this history, along with Beall's personal history, was destroyed in a fire.
Lloyd J. Beall died at age 79 in Richmond. He is interred in the city's Hollywood Cemetery.

>Gears and Wears>Garmin 210 vs 610
Im about to pull the trigger on a new GPS watch. Its between 210 and 610. Pros and Cons on these tow please? Why should I spend $200 more on the 610?
My wife wanted to get me a Garmin for Christmas and I told her to either get me the 210 or the 610 and I would be happy with either. She got me the 610 as she is kind of a tech buff herself.
I really like the touch screen, I really like designing workouts to do. I like the multiple screens that are easy to shuffle through while you are running.
Overall I am very happy with the watch and think a lot of the extra features are nice to have for training.
Vision without action is a day dream.
Action without vision is a nightmare.
levitation specialist
I was in the same boat as you last year! 210 or 610???? That is the question!
Have you checked out DC Rainmaker.com for his reviews and pics? While that helped me narrow it down between those 2 watches, ultimately I decided that I really really really wanted the touchscreen and I liked the font of the numbers and words better(dumb huh?), I just thought it was easier to read and use. And I also wanted to be able to upload my completed workouts to Garmin Connect using my iPad with the Wahoo Dongle & app(this only works with the FR 60, FR 310xt, and the FR 610) And bypass the computer completely.
So those things helped me decide that the 610 was worth the extra(and it does more too) money for the ease of use daily issue. And I haven't been wrong. I use it at least 6 days a week(sometimes all 7 if I can get a bike ride in on Sundays) and sometimes twice a day for running. And then I wear it as a daily watch all the time as well. I like it so much that when the white 610 came out in November, there was no question that I was selling my black 610 to get the white. Never even crossed my mind to downgrade to the 210, even if it was cheaper. Having and using my 610 is easy.
I haven't found any cons to the 2 610s I had/have. I didn't have issues with pins or straps(they did a redesign of the pins, I may have gotten the post redesign of each) nor any problems with reverse charging or touchscreen funkiness. I had my black watch for nearly a year before I sold it and it worked and looked like new despite daily use. I have had my white one since early December and so far, so good as well. I had a Zagg cover on my touchscreen of the black one because my watches always tend to get face scratches. But these must be made of gorilla glass or something because the screens are very durable. I didn't put one on my white one and so far, so good.
Now that being said, lots of people have the 210 and love it to pieces as well. It does a ton of stuff and does it well. What do you need it for? Will you use the extra features of the 610 often enough to justify the price difference? Only you can answer that.
It isn't easy to decide, for sure. But whatever you get, I am sure you will like it! They are nifty little devices!
Thanks for awesome answers!

I received a 610 as a gift, and really haven't looked at the 210, but I can say the 610 works great. I love the touch screen and the ability to sync it with my computer without having to connect them. The only downside is that it doesn't hold a charge as long as my old 305 did. I am getting only 5-6 hours with the GPS turned on.
I think one of the big difference is advanced workouts that you can setup in Garmin connect software and download to the watch which the 210 does not have. If you don't need that or need the ANT (wireless) transfer of your data to your computer, both watches have similar functionality. The other big difference is the touchscreen vs buttons, I prefer pushng buttons to the touch bezel and the touch screen
I've got a fever...
I'd say keep the 310XT in mind. Yes, it's chunkier (but you don't notice that when you're running with it), but it's fully waterproof, whereas the 210 and 610 are only considered rain-proof. The 310XT has 20 hour battery-life vs 8~10 for the other two. 310XT in general has similar features to the 610, both of which are much more feature-laden than the 210 -- stuff like mutli-sport, custom workouts, etc.
A quick price check shows that 310XT w/o heart strap can be had for only about $8 more than the 210 So you're getting a whole lot more watch for about the same price as a 210.
The only big drawback for the 310XT is if you really want a touchscreen. Personally, I like having buttons on a running watch as opposed to a touch screen -- I'm much more confident that I'll hit them when I want to, without having to look or think about it.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
What Jeff said!
However, that 910 sure is looking tempting.

I have the 210 which works great if you just want basic GPS functions on top of a sportswatch. I didn't really have a desire to program in workouts, so I decided not to spend the extra money on a 610 and I'm a small person and was really attracted to the compact design of the 210 over the 310XT.
So far the main issue I have had with the 210 is the connector, I usually have to d*ck around with it for at least 5 minutes to get my computer and watch to establish a connection because it has the clip-style charger/connector.

Have you had any problems with the "instant pace" feature?
Half PR: 1:34 (August, 2012)
Marathon PR: 3:45 (October, 2012)
Next race: ???
Next Marathon: 2015???
I have it set to average the pace over the last mile instead of the instant pace, just my personal preference.
This is pretty much true of all GPS running devices. The positional error from GPS becomes very significant when there's only a small number of sample points (i.e. "instant"), giving highly variable results. Best to set your Auto-Lap to either 0.5 mi or 1 mi and just use Lap Pace.
I don't have a lot of variance with instant pace. I actually like it better because I tend to slack off sometimes thinking about something and I look down and see that I indeed am now running an 11mm pace when I was supposed to be at 9:30. Pick it back up and my watch pretty much shows that change over the course of a few seconds. I don't stare at my watch but seeing my actual pace at that time gives me more info than what my average lap pace is. I just let my average pace come up in the 1 mile increments and beep at me that way. But I like instant pace for glancing at vs average, myself.
exactly what everyone should do...

seems i've got to have a change of scene
I enjoyed this drawing, loved the subject, colours and the textures and I like to think it shows.
In contrast, the sea anemones, below, turned out to be quite the opposite. Although, the subject is very beautiful I couldn't get a handle on it. It really should have been lovely - gorgeous shapes, amazing textures, patterns and colours - but I just couldn't make it work. I end up getting so frustrated when I cannot achieve on paper what I see in my head. I didn't enjoy this one, at all.
And, I think that shows too.
Anyway, enough moaning. You can see the rest of my travel moleskine HERE.

Ashburn, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Redskins have signed linebacker Trent Murphy, their second-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Murphy was selected with the 47th overall choice earlier this month after a standout career at Stanford. He finished third in Cardinal history with 32 1/2 sacks in starting 42 of the 44 games he played.
As a senior in 2014, Murphy led the FBS with 15 sacks in 14 starts, earning All-Pac-12 honors.
The Redskins also signed free agent wide receiver Rashad Ross and waived wide receiver Kofi Hughes.

Another burger from Wicked Good Burgers I made earlier this week. This one is two steps removed from the Reuben. Step 1 is it uses pastrami instead of corned beef. This sandwich actually has a name too: It is the Rachel. Step 2 added a burger to the mix. Here are some pix which tell the story better than I do:
The homemade Russian dressing used: Sour cream, relish, horseradish, salt, mayo, hot sauce (this surprised me), Worcestershire sauce, ketchup & sugar
The 1 1/2 pounds of chuck that I ground up for this burger came from a 1 1/2 pound chuck steak.
The strips of chuck went into the freezer 45 minutes before I needed to grind it. Here they are out of the fridge and the mixer is set up with the grinder attachment and things are good to go. Once the meat was ground, I used my kitchen scale to weigh out 4 6 oz. portions of meat. They were formed into oval patties the shape of the rye bread being used.
This was a late supper, so it allowed me to do a test run of the lighting I installed in my grill gazebo last week. The fixtures I picked gave great light which didn't spread much outside the grill gazebo.
The Egg has been preheated to 500 degrees with the cast iron grate and the half moon griddle grate installed. The first item was 8 slices of rye bread that were spread with softened butter on both sides. At this temperature it took less than 30 seconds to toast 1 side.
Next item to be grilled were some somewhat thick slices of pastrami
The next item was the sauerkraut, something I've never grilled before.
The sauerkraut and the half moon griddle grate are off, the four beef patties are on. The will cook for 2 minutes a side
After everything was grilled it was back inside to assemble and finish off the sandwich.
The first step was to brush the Russian Dressing onto one side of each rye bread slice.
The patties were up next.
The patties were topped with a slice of grilled pastrami.
Next came the grilled sauerkraut.
The Swiss cheese was added last. The top slice of rye bread went on and the sandwich was ready for a trip to a 350 degree oven
The sandwich was in the oven for a minute or so. Long enough to melt the Swiss cheese and reheat the rest of the sandwich.
Finally time to eat!
This burger/sandwich (call it what you will) was amazing and has some really strong and great flavors going on. It certainly exceeded my expectations.
Another great burger. I will be shooting for 3 in a row when I grill up another type of burger from this book on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to making the companion pretzel bun recipe.

On his first day in New Orleans, Lars Edegran went straight to Preservation Hall.
It was a midafternoon in August 1965 when Edegran, a 21-year-old from Sweden who loved American music, peeped through the closed gates of the traditional jazz venue on St. Peter Street.
He saw Preservation Hall owner Allan Jaffe inside and a band rehearsing for a recording session. Edegran and Jaffe started talking, and Edegran explained that he was a Swedish musician who'd just gotten in town. Jaffe invited him in.
"He even let me sit in with the band," Edegran said. "That was amazing. What a difference from Chicago and New York. People were so open and so friendly here in New Orleans. So, I said, 'This is the place for me.' "
Since that summer day, except for a five-year stay in New York as pianist, musical director and arranger for the off-Broadway hit "One Mo' Time," Edegran has called New Orleans home.
A multi-instrumentalist, Edegran's nearly five decades of New Orleans-based musical activities include his late 1960s work with Andrew Morgan's Young Tuxedo Brass Band and old-time trumpeter Sharkey Bonano, 1970 participation in the first New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, tours with the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, New Orleans Joy Makers, several years with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and recordings with Danny Barker, Doc Cheatham, George Lewis and De De Pierce.
Edegran was just 20 when he left Stockholm for Chicago in 1965. Too young to enter that city's jazz clubs, he frequented Chicago blues clubs instead, hearing Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins and more future music legends.
"It was really fantastic," he said. "But I missed hearing jazz. So I took a trip down to New Orleans. I immediately met a lot of people here in the French Quarter. And I had a chance to play with people right away."
In those early years, Edegran went to Preservation Hall nearly every night. The mid-'60s were a golden era for the venue, featuring such regulars as Sweet Emma Barrett, George Lewis, Punch Miller and Kid Sheik.
"It was just fantastic to hear all these guys," Edegran recalled. "I had heard most of them on records but never in person, which was quite a different thing."
Jaffe got Edegran signed up with the musicians' union or, more precisely, the city's black musicians' union. Edegran, a pianist, guitarist, banjo player and clarinetist, had to join a union to appear in a television program filmed at Preservation Hall.
"Allan had me and a couple of other Europeans sit in with the band," he explained. "He wanted to show that people come from Europe to learn about the music."
Edegran had grown up hearing American blues, Fats Domino, Elvis Presley, Shreveport folk-blues singer Lead Belly and Cajun music in Sweden.
"Basically American music, we were inspired by that," he said.
The "we" included Edegran's future "One Mo' Time" collaborator, Orange Kellin. Friends and fellow American music lovers, they co-founded a New Orleans-style jazz group in Sweden in 1961, the Imperial Band. The group played dances in its homeland until the Beatles changed the world's music landscape in 1964.
"Jazz kind of disappeared as dance music," Edegran said. "I decided to move to America."
With the exception of the year he spent repairing roofs following the devastating landfall Hurricane Betsy made a few weeks after he arrived, Edegran has kept busy at music.
At 68, he plays Saturday nights at the Palm Court Jazz Café with 101-year-old trumpet player Lionel Ferbos — considered New Orleans' oldest working jazz musician — Sunday nights at Preservation Hall and Wednesdays at Palm Court with vocalist Topsy Chapman.
And since June 2011, Edegran's day job has been running the GHB Jazz Foundation, which includes the jazz record label founded by George H. Buck Jr. in 1949.
"I had not planned to stay here for the rest of my life," Edegran said. "I ended up staying here because I got so busy on the music scene. I feel blessed that I was able to make a living playing music. And I'm still playing lots of gigs."

Despite one of its wettest Julys in state history since record-keeping began, California is now in the middle of its worst drought since February 2009. The Drought Monitor report shows that nearly 94 percent of the Golden State is in Severe or Worse drought. More than 11 percent is in extreme drought.
The last time California reported any extreme drought was in late December 2012.
Now the drought is drying up water reservoirs and hitting the wallets of rancher and farmers up and down the state. According to Mike Brewer, the Drought Monitor's author, California is now in its second year of below-normal rainfall and currently in its driest January to July period on record.
Though the drought is growing in the West, the National Drought Mitigation Center urges that "it should be noted that California's highly managed water delivery system protects urban and many agricultural water users from most effects of short-term droughts."
Oregon is quickly catching up to California after reporting its driest July in its record books. Almost 34 percent of the state is in severe or extreme drought. The last time the state saw such high drought levels of these intensities was in August 2003. Now some are even helping prepare Oregon residents to prepare for the long drought.
The rest of the country has also been dealt varying degrees of what Discover magazine calls "Climate Schizophrenia." In Kansas, for example, numerous storm systems drenched the central portion of the state. Drought has been eliminated out of 43 percent of the state.
However, further to the northeast in Iowa, conditions aren't as desirable. July was Iowa's 10th driest in state history. Drought conditions have steadily crept back into the state. Currently 35 percent of the state is in moderate drought. While still a far cry from the 58 percent reported in January, it's more than double last week's report of 16 percent.
Drought still dominates in New Mexico, Colorado and Texas, where drought has lingered for more than three months. However, conditions are finally showing signs of budging in the right direction. Currently 66 percent of New Mexico (down from 69 percent last week), 26 percent of Colorado (down from 27 percent last week), and 21 percent of Texas (down from 26 percent last week) are in extreme or worse drought.
AccuWeather released their Fall 2013 forecast this week, and for some – such as Oregon – relief may be felt soon. However, in California where wildfires are keeping fire crews on their toes, warm and dry weather will continue and extend the fire season even further. The group expects late cold shots for the northern Plains and early frost over much of the central and eastern Corn Belt.

TWO prolific shoplifting sisters have been banned from entering major shops across East Lancashire.
The siblings have been given ASBOs that also ban them from Blackburn town centre in a bid to tackle their offending.
Police said the news was a 'nice Christmas present for traders' to protect them from the women, described as 'professional shoplifters'.
Khalida Ahmed, 36, of Rawsthorne Street, and Nazia Haq, 32, of Saunders Road, both Blackburn, are banned from entering the town centre and Townsmoor retail park.
Ahmed, described as the more prolific shoplifter, is also banned from Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Farmfoods, Iceland, Boots, Argos, M and S, Next, Matalan, Primark, TK Max, Mothercare, B&M Bargains, Debenhams, Claire's Accessories, Accessorize, Toys 'R' Us and Smyths Toys in Blackburn, Darwen, Ribble Valley, Accrington and Burnley.
They have been told that because of the ASBO they could be sent to prison if they even set foot in one of the stores.
Sgt David Clarke said the orders would be extended if the sisters began 'plying their trade' further afield.
He said: "At the moment we hope it will be a nice Christmas present for the shopkeepers of Blackburn and the rest of East Lancashire from Lancashire Constabulary.
"These women, especially Khalida Ahmed, are prolific shoplifters and we hope these orders can dramatically reduce their offending."
The orders will run for two years.
Carl Gaffney, prosecuting, said the defendants were aware that if there were further offences in other towns, such as Bolton or Preston, the police would seek to have the ASBO extended to cover those towns.
He said: "The ASBO is not a paper tiger, it is a court order.
"I say for their benefit that they will be ripe for custodial sentences if they breach these orders.
"This is very much a last chance saloon for them."
Scott Parker, defending, said his clients had been remanded in custody for eight days during the latest proceedings and this had acted as a wake-up call.
At court Ahmed and Haq pleaded guilty to theft of property from Matalan in Blackburn.
Ahmed also pleaded guilty to thefts from Farm Foods and Argos.
She was given a conditional discharge for 24 months and Haq a conditional discharge for 12 months.
They were both ordered to pay £100 compensation to Matalan.
A third sister, Rizwana Ahmed, 33, of Saunders Road, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to theft from Matalan.
She was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £100 compensation and £100 costs.
Mr Gaffney said she only had one previous conviction and had effectively found herself in 'rum company'.
He said: "The other two are professional shoplifters as far as the prosecution are concerned."
Mr Parker said Rizwana had learned from her involvement in the prosecution of her sisters.
Speaking after the court case Jonathan Taylor, a partner at Farleys Solicitors, which has offices in Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington and Manchester, said the ASBO was an alternative to prison to deter them from re-offending.
He said: "For a shoplifting offence the sentencing options open to a judge would not justify a custodial sentence.
"In this case the offenders were what a court may consider to be professional shoplifters and that is a situation that would lead to an ASBO of that nature.
"Because of that they are excluded from the necessary shops and the benefit of that is that if they breach that order, they can receive a custodial sentence at a later stage.
"Even if they just walked into one of the shops, it would be a serious offence.
"From that time onwards, the individuals have to be extremely careful and if they breach it they could be sent to prison by a crown court for up to five years.

The Art of Midwifery
Mitchella repens, also known as partridge berry or squawvine, is a great uterine tonic. I am drawn to this one as a tincture. Take as directed. If you are experiencing pelvic congestion—signaled by constipation, bloating, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and/or menses with clots—add 5 milliliters of ginger root, cinnamon, or ocotillo tincture per ounce of partridge berry. If you don't mix the tinctures together, just make the dose 25 drops partridge berry and add 5 drops pelvic decongestant to the glass of water before you guzzle.

News Flashes
To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the length of labor, 57 women were treated with acupuncture during first and second stage labor and a control group of 63 birthing women were not, in a study at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Vienna, Austria. The median length of first stage labor for the first group was 196 minutes, and for the control group it was 321 minutes. For the first group, second stage lasted an average of 57 minutes, and for the control group it lasted the same amount of time. In the entire study population, 30 women had premature rupture of membranes. Women in the control group received a significantly increased amount of oxytocin during first stage and second stage than did the acupuncture group—85% and 15%, respectively, for first stage, and 72% and 28% for second stage, respectively.

Multiple Gestation
It is vital for the mother's liver to be functioning at full capacity to meet the demand for increased blood volume to supply an extra placenta (or two). When women do not get the nutritional support they need, clinical symptoms begin to become apparent around the 24th to 26th week of pregnancy, just before blood volume should peak. Problems crop up sooner than in a singleton pregnancy because the demand for more blood volume is so much greater.
Be sure to check for a history of liver disease or disorder (which includes drug use). Four droppersful daily of spring dandelion root or yellow dock root tincture will give the liver a boost. It is normal to see more swelling, a lot more weight gain, a somewhat higher blood pressure, an increased desire for salt, and a somewhat lower hemoglobin than in a singleton pregnancy. These physiological compensations are no cause for alarm. Because multiple fetuses are all storing iron, supplementation is a good idea.
The fact that typical biotechnical medical management results in a toxemia rate of 50% in twin pregnancies and 75% in triplet pregnancies is ample proof of the nutritional neglect = hypovolemia = toxemia etiology. Modern practice includes several ultrasound exams to monitor fetal growth. Cervical cerclage and labor suppressing drugs may be recommended along with bed rest, weight restriction, and cesarean section. Predictably, this results in low birth weight, premature babies as well as a higher incidence of abruption and hemorrhage in mothers.
— Anne Frye, Understanding Diagnostic Tests in the Childbearing Year, 6th ed. Labrys Press, 1997
When the first twin is delivered, check inside the mother to find out what part of the second baby is presenting and how far it has descended. If the baby is in a transverse position, try to turn it into a breech or vertex externally. If the head or butt is down far enough so that the cord won't prolapse, you can break the water bag.
It will normally take less time to push out this baby, as the cervix is well dilated and the mother's bones are already stretched apart as far as they need to be. Check the fetal heart tones often. Keep track of how much time has passed, but go by how the energy feels. If the time lapsed is feeling like too much, you may need to pull the second twin out by "internal podalic version," which means taking hold of the baby's feet and turning the baby's body so that the feet come out first, pulling the baby slowly out and delivering as for a breech. Wear a long sterile glove. This maneuver should not be done routinely; it should be used only if the spontaneous delivery of the second twin does not happen within an hour or so after the first twin, or if there is fetal distress.
— Ina May Gaskin, Spiritual Midwifery, 4th ed., Book Publishing Company, PO Box 99, Summertown, TN 38483
Mom is now eating for three, and must increase her intake. Common complaints of pregnancy multiply due to low blood sugars and lack of adequate caloric intake. She has to be committed to nutrition, and I ask her to give me a complete diet history weekly. I ask for her family's support in making sure she is adequately nourished.
Parents have to be fully informed of the risks and benefits of a midwife-attended delivery. They must accept their role in the decision-making process. I encourage them to read books, join "twin clubs," and talk with other families with twins. If problems arise during the prenatal course or during birth, the parents will know what to expect.
Birth plans
Provide educational materials for breastfeeding. Locate La Leche League support groups, lactation consultants, and other mothers of twins for support. Postpartum care often includes extra home visits and more-frequent phone calls. Exhaustion, overwhelming sense of responsibility, and loss of a sense of self need to be addressed.

A woman in my care recently took Zythromax antibiotic for a sinus infection. She is now spilling moderate ketones in her urine. She says she is feeling fine, she eats well. She is 30 weeks pregnant and has been the picture of health. I was wondering if anyone knows if Zythromax could cause false positives? I am a bit baffled. After a high-calorie diet it has been a week and she is still spilling ketones.

Question of the Week
Q: I am 26 years old. About two years ago I was 42 weeks pregnant and desperate. I had been having contractions for weeks but had not dilated at all, so my midwife scheduled me for an induction. I arrived at the hospital early in the morning and was given Cytotec (not knowing anything about its experimental use), and within hours I was in extremely hard labor. My contractions were seconds apart for 5–6 hours, and I felt like I couldn't move or breathe. The intensity of the contractions was beyond anything I had ever imagined. Luckily I delivered a healthy baby boy, and aside from a heart murmur, which is gone now, he is very healthy. I on the other hand have had numerous health challenges. When my fertility returned after ceasing breastfeeding I became very nauseated and sick. I took several home pregnancy tests; all were negative. A couple of days passed and I started having extremely sharp pains in my lower abdomen. A nurse practitioner did another pregnancy test, which was negative, and sent me home. Later that day I started bleeding and didn't stop for about 10 days. Ever since then I have had terrible cramping throughout my cycle with and without my period. I have hot flashes, extreme mood swings, and episodes of nausea and dizziness, all of which I had never experienced before giving birth. Has anyone else had a similar experience to mine?
I feel the use of Cytotec is a very grave injustice to women who have been, without their knowledge or consent, subjected to the experimental use of a very powerful and potentially very dangerous drug. I would be most interested to hear from readers who have anything to say about the effects of Cytotec, long or short term.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: We have a client who in her first birth had a retained placenta. Retrieving was complicated by a vagal response. She ended up needing to be transported, and the placenta was removed while she was under anesthesia. We are trying to collect data about incidence of repeat retained placentas and any suggestions for reducing its incidence. We are aware of the possible role of vitamin E, and she is minimizing her intake in this pregnancy.
A: I had a retained placenta with my fifth birth. I strongly believe it was from a combination of Pitocin being given to me during labor and premature traction of the placenta. My sixth birth was a homebirth with a skillful midwife. She told me to drink lots of red raspberry tea, and I did. I took a good multivitamin and I made sure my protein intake was strong. When it came time to deliver the placenta, she was very gentle and let me push it out. I did not retain any placenta. Definitely diet, herbal teas, and a skillful midwife who does not use traction are important.

I would like more information about why the midwife from Canada mentioned she would recommend an Epsom salt bath in early labor "provided the amniotic sac is intact" [Issue 5:18]. Please explain the provision.
— Lynda, SNM, Indiana
Can you give information about the possibility of uterine rupture due to grand multiparity with no previous history of cesarean? I have found no studies that do not include previous c-section history. Does the risk go up when you have had more than five births? I would like to deliver our seventh child at home but am 45 minutes from a hospital should anything go wrong. With my last birth, I had no labor—we delivered surprised and unassisted at home.

Photo Gallery: World's Weirdest Creatures
Praying Mantis
Photograph courtesy of NGT
The praying mantis, or mantid, is so weird that ancient Greeks believed it had supernatural powers, naming it "mantis" which means "prophet" or "seer." The carnivorous insect preys exclusively on living insects, seizing its prey with its spined front legs in a vise-like grip. During mating, the female often eats the male, first by biting its head off. As the dying male spasms, it often increases the amount of sperm delivered. Then, the female will eat the male's carcass, which provides her with additional nourishment that she can use when she lays her eggs... up to 200 of them.
Black Widow Spider
Photograph courtesy of NGT
This femme fatale, the black widow, sits in her web and waits for food to come to her. She has eight eyes, but barely uses them, perceiving much of her world through her hairy legs—she finds her prey mainly by sensing vibrations along her web. Then she charges blindly across her high-wire grid. First she bites, the neurotoxins in her bite paralyzing the struggling moth. Digestive enzymes turn its insides into goo. Then she wraps it up. Her back legs pull silk from her spinneret and encase the moth, keeping the spider out of harm's way, and if she's already eaten, preserving the snack for later. Once she's hungry, the spider sucks up the insides of her bug burrito like a liquid lunch.
Photograph courtesy of NGT
Being an egg-layer, an echidna—also known as a spiny anteater—is very different from other mammals. It also has a much lower body temperature compared to other mammals. To find its insect prey, the echidna senses vibrations with the bald, tubular beak that protrudes from its dome-shaped body covered in spines.
Sea Hare
Photograph courtesy of NGC
Named for the rabbit-ear-shaped growths on its head, which are actually its nose, the sea hare is the swinger of the sea slug world. Sea hares are hermaphrodites, with both male and female sex organs. To reproduce, the first sea hare acts solely as a female, and is mounted by a second sea hare... who acts as a male to the first and female to a third... and so on down the line, to the last hare, who acts only as a male. A pregnant sea hare will lay spaghetti-like strands of millions of eggs, anchored to the kelp beds for safety.
Naked Mole Rat
Photograph courtesy of NGT
The naked mole rat is neither a mole nor a rat. These pinkish, bald rodents spend their entire lives in virtually complete darkness, weaving their way through an underground network of burrows and tunnels. Within their dark universe, they've evolved a rigid society that has more in common with ants or bees than with a typical mammalian social circle. At the top is a long, strong queen. As long as she lives, she and a few chosen boy toys are the only ones that breed. The queen keeps the rest from mating by sheer intimidation. Some mole rats are drafted as soldiers to protect the colony from rival mole rats and predators. Other mole rats tend to the young, clean burrows, dig tunnels and look for food. Their giant incisors are actually outside their mouths, so the mole rats can shovel away without eating dirt. Though nearly blind, special hairs on their body help guide them and tell them where they are going.
Shaggy Frogfish
Photography courtesy of NGC
Instead of chasing their prey, frogfishes have become the masters of the amush. Often patterned to blend with their surroundings, frogfishes lay quietly in waiting, enticing their prey with a "fishing pole" tipped with a piece of "bait" derived from the first dorsal fin spine. Without any teeth, they must use the "gape and suck" method to swallow their prey whole—dropping open their jaw to create a void of negative pressure. In this manner, frogfishes consume their prey faster than any other vertebrates, inhaling their food in 6 milliseconds.
Polyclad Flatworm
Photograph by Piero Malaer
Flatworms are basically hermaphroditic, having both male and female sex organs. But when it comes time to procreate, they have to decide who plays which role—a fight that can sometimes be to the death. Flatworm sex consists of the two attempting to stab their lover with their pointed penis to inseminate the other—an act delicately referred to as "penis-fencing."
Flounder in the Sand
Photograph by Piero Malaer
When born, a flounder is bilaterally symmetrical, with one eye on each side of its head. After a few days, however, the eyes begin to migrate together to the same side of the head, as the fish begins to lean heavily to one side. An adult flounder lives along the bottom of the sea, with the "eyed" side facing up. The underside of the flounder also eventually loses its color.
Horned Lizard
Photography courtesy of NGT
The horned lizard is also sometimes referred to as the horned frog or the horny toad, but it's no amphibian. Found in the western deserts of North America, this lizard is a one-reptile wrecking crew with a bizarre self-defense strategy. When defending its own life from, say, a coyote, the horned lizard squirts blood from the thin blood vessels around its eyes that rupture under pressure. In addition to the ick factor, the blood contains canine-repellant chemicals, leaving the attacker disgusted, weirded out, and out of there.
Proboscis Monkey Sitting in a Tree
Photograph courtesy of NGT
For the proboscis monkey, size matters. Nearly three feet tall, the males weigh twice as much as the smaller females. And a big nose generates big interest from the ladies. Living in the swampy mangrove forests of Borneo, proboscis monkeys are preyed upon by crocs and other predators. Males either live in an all-male group of bachelors, or as the one male leader of a small harem of females and young. When threatened, the male leader uses his large nose to emit a loud warning call, alerting the rest of his group of danger.
Kangaroo and Joey
Photograph courtesy of NGT
A baby kangaroo, or "joey," will call its mother's pouch home for almost a year. At one month old, the baby roo, barely more than the size of a jellybean, emerges from one of its mother's two uteri. Once it's outside her body, it grips her fur, and though it still hasn't developed eyes, it instinctively relies on its forelegs to crawl up towards her pouch. Within minutes, it reaches her pouch and latches on to its mother's teat. Over the next few months it grows inside the pouch. Once it ventures outside, it's still not ready for cross-country trekking, yet. For nine more months, a joey will rely on its mother's pouch for shelter, transportation and protection if it senses danger. Even after it leaves the pouch, it stays by its mother's side, nursing for an additional one to six months. The pouch, though, is now off limits—its mother will already be carrying her next baby. From now on, the joey will have to travel on its own two feet.
Cape Gannet
Photograph by Alta Oosthuizen
The cape gannet is a sea bird that breeds on islands off South Africa. After locating fish in the ocean, cape gannets dive from as high as 300 feet to ambush their prey. Their capacious air sacs and extra fat deposits help cushion them when they hit the water.

Pancreatic Cancer
.7 cm pancreatic lesion
I am a 56 year old female with recurring abdominal discomfort and a history of colon polyps, diverticulitis and kidney stones. My gall bladder was removed about 10 years ago. I just had a CT scan and was informed by my doctor`s nurse that a .7 cm lesion was found on my pancreas. The nurse said I needed to have a follow-up CT scan in 3 months. My husband thinks I should see the doctor sooner than that. Should I be concerned or is a 3 month wait-and-see approach reasonable?
Based on your description, it is not clear if this is a solid or cystic lesioin. A benign appearing cystic lesion can be followed. However, if you wish for furhter workuup an Endoscopic Ultrasound can be ordered. If this is a solid lesion, further workup is waranted at this time with possible biopsy.

MOUNT KISCO — Tiger Lily Boutique, Yogi's Paw Boutique and New York Dolls are joining forces to throw one big, block party-style bash, as each store celebrates a decade in business.
Festivities will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1, at Tiger Lily, 139 Main St.; Yogi's Paw, 141 Main St.; and New York Dolls, 153 Main St. Each store is planning promotions, sales, gift basket raffles, refreshments and giveaways. Tiger Lily will have a trunk show. A live jazz trio on the sidewalk between the stores will be featured Saturday.
The stores opened on Main Street, Mount Kisco, in 2003. Although all three stores sell women's clothing, jewelry and accessories, each store serves a different customer. Yogi's Paw features fashions for teens and tweens; New York Dolls carries "high fashion" designer lines for women; Tiger Lily specializes in "hand-picked" designer collections for women.
"Being in such close proximity to each other has helped us build a real sense of community," said Cathy Deutsch, owner, Tiger Lily. "We're delighted to celebrate together and share this special event with the customers who've helped us build our businesses."

Hello everyone,
I run a website for a tattoo shop. Recently some of the artists asked if they would be able to add some of their "over 18" type of pictures to the site. Pictures such as nipple or genital piercings, etc...things they can't add to their facebook portfolios.
The owner posited that we would need to have some sort of link to click verifying that the user is 18 or older. Is this true?
Would it be sufficient to simply add something to the homepage stating that the site does contain some pictures of nudity intended for an adult audience.
Anyone have any experience or advise in this area?
They will need to check the T&Cs of their hosting as their most might not allow any "adult" images or videos on sites hosted on their servers.
Although I hate talking about SEO in this forum, another thing the owner might consider is that his site will lose visibility in many searches. Many people use "safe search" and that completely rules out adult-oriented sites.
I don't know if that would be an issue as it would only be a few pictures in a gallery of images
So, SpacePhoenix- your suggestion would be check the host to see if it's cool? Nothing else?
A few pictures in the gallery will take the whole gallery out of safe search, if not the whole site.
Something to consider is what you think is cool or OK may not be acceptable to those in control... I have the tshirt
Once your site is withdrawn it takes a very long time to recover.
hmm....really? Even if they are just "artistic" pictures of work our artists have done and not porn oriented?
I'm the one in control on this and wanted to seek some advice before moving forward
Thank you so much for your help everybody. After considering your advice - I don't think having these pictures up is important enough to justify potentially being blacked out in safe search....especially since it is the default setting for Google and most of the general public has no idea about it.
I have a couple of very artistic pictures of tattooing and if I had a child, I wouldn't want the child to see them. I think you have made the right decision.
If the artists in question are really that talented, they must have other examples of their work that express their talents.
The point I was trying to make is that you may be in control of your site content but others are in control of user's search results.
I would be very wary of every single image posted...
although upon reflection, I am led to believe that porn sites dominate web usage
I think you might have issues with your host like @SpacePhoenix; mentioned, and more importantly, you might get demoted on the search engines (sorry Linda), as your results would be hidden from safety filters.
I think if you really must show these images, it would be better to have a completely different site, one geared for the adult market. Be sure not to give it the same domain name, mention your company, but do not make it obvious for Google to group your site as an adult website. When you link to this website from your existing website, ensure that you have a no follow link in their (so you don't get demoted by Google), and have a strong disclaimer, informing the clients that the new website will contain strong images.
Prior to actually linked your site submit your mature website to K9 web protection and other web filters, to actively increase the safety for children. I am sure there are some cool tattoes in the marketplace, but I am sure that no parent would want their children to watch these kind of images.
just add an 18 years old button while entering the site and the problem is solved
US law says that you only need to post that age verification / custodian of record notice for images that are SEXUALLY EXPLICIT. However, the US Supreme Court said in its Miller decision that obscenity is a local issue. Since local standards vary (how do you define "local" on the Internet when it can be accessed globally?), I suggest you comply with Sec 2257 requirements and post that info. Get the content from a reputable source who has all the necessary paperwork.
First of all, that isn't going to solve the problem of safe search. Second, any 10 year old can push a button that "says" he or she is 18. Is that really what you want for your kids? Finally, from a site-owner's perspective, it just takes one half-savvy angry parent to find your web host and bring down your site. Although it might be rare, do you really want to take that chance?
Yea, I myself always click on 18+ button when I was young, man.

Man Pleads Guilty in Deer-Trapping Case
AUSTIN, Texas — A six-month long investigation conducted by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Special Operations Wildlife Crimes Unit came to a close during the last few days with Larry Grimland of the Dallas area being charged with 20 counts of illegally trapping wild whitetail deer from his Bosque County ranch.
Grimland was apprehended by TPWD Investigators Sgts. Adam Chrane and Brad Chappell for illegally delivering and selling three whitetail deer in Bosque County. The next morning a search warrant was executed on Grimland's ranch where records were seized indicating Grimland had sold numerous wild whitetail deer for the last several years, netting thousands of dollars.
In a plea agreement reached, Grimland has agreed to cooperate with investigators, pay $40,000 in fines and make a $40,000 contribution to the Operation Game Thief fund. An additional 45 charges have been filed against 10 individuals that purchased illegal deer from Grimland.
In a spinoff investigation, Bosque County resident David Deeley agreed to pay $10,000 in fines and make a $6,000 contribution to Operation Game Thief fund. Deeley was charged with five counts of illegally trapping wild whitetail deer. Bryan Hanus, a Bosque County deer hauler, was arrested on felony arrest warrants for "felon in possession of a firearm, and tampering with physical evidence," both 3rd degree felonies. Hanus was placed in the Bosque County jail with bonds set at $10,000 per charge.
The scope of this investigation revealed illegal whitetail deer commerce over a significant portion of Texas and demonstrated the importance of having a centralized investigative group such as TPWD's Special Operations Unit. The unit received invaluable assistance from game wardens throughout the state in conducting interviews and taking statements.
Bosque County Attorney David Christian prosecuted the cases and Game Wardens Preston Spiller and Mike Sibila provided the initial lead.
Col. Pete Flores said, "This investigation serves as a deterrent to those who engage in the illegal commerce of Texas' wildlife resources. This case also safeguards the legitimate interests of deer managers and conservation in Texas."

PHILADELPHIA - In a game that was nearly as crazy at the finish as it was at the start -- maybe crazier, honestly -- the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat Dartmouth in overtime, 5-4, Sunday at Ellen Vagelos Field.
The Quakers improved to 3-0 in Ivy League play for the first time since 1995, and are tied with Princeton at the top of the conference standings. Penn is also 7-2 overall. Dartmouth fell to 1-2 in Ivy play, 3-6 overall.
Penn was down, 4-2, as the clock moved inside of 10 minutes left in regulation. However, on a day when Penn took a staggering 17 penalty corners (to Dartmouth's one), the Quakers finally converted one. MaryRose Croddick left the ball for Julie Tahan, who played a ball to the right post where freshman Elise Tilton was waiting. She re-directed the ball into the goal, making it a one-goal game.
Less than three minutes later, Penn drew level. Alex Iqbal made it happen this time, driving the ball to the end line on the right side and shooting it into the middle. Tilton was all alone there, and one-timed a shot into an open goal to tie the score.
A critical moment occurred at the end of regulation, when Dartmouth's Ali Savage -- who had three goals in the game -- was given a yellow card as Penn prepared for yet another penalty corner. When the Quakers were unable to win it, the teams went to overtime but the Big Green prepped to play a person down.
In the OT, the Big Green lost yet another player to a yellow card when one of their players took exception to a bang-bang play and let it be known. Suddenly, Penn was up two players, and it was 6-on-4. Perhaps inevitably, Corcoran banged home the winner before either of the yellow-card recipients were back on the field.
Both teams were coming off big losses from earlier in the week, which may have explained the furious start to Sunday's contest. The teams combined for five goals before the game was 10 minutes old.
Dartmouth got on the board first, just 2:05 into the contest, when 3 made a nice play to set up 16 for an easy backhanded shot. Penn needed just 28 seconds to equalize, the freshman Jasmine Cole running the ball down the right side, beating a defender, and firing a shot past the Big Green goalkeeper's left side.
Dartmouth regained the lead when Savage took advantage of a loose ball in Penn's circle and knocked home a turnaround shot, but again Penn was quick to respond. This time, Corcorandrove the ball to the top of the circle, and with a defender on her back she sent the ball to the front of the goal where Sunny Stirewalt was able to bang it home.
Again, the Big Green took the lead. This time Savage did it on her own, driving into the circle along the left side, beating a defender, and crushing a shot that beat Carly Sokach to her left and insde the far post.
That was it for the scoring in the half, but it wasn't for a lack of trying on the Quakers' end. Penn finished the half with a 14-5 shot advantage and a staggering 9-0 advantage in corners. At least twice, the Red and Blue had goals called back.
Dartmouth appeared to get the goal it might need to escape Vagelos Field with the win. With just over 20 minutes left in the game, Janine Leger brought it into the circle on the right side and played it to Savage, who converted past Sokach.
However, Penn outshot Dartmouth 26-10 on the day, and when the Quakers needed the goals they got them.
Penn is on the road for its next three games, starting Wednesday when the Quakers travel to Rider to meet the Broncs. Faceoff is slated for 5 p.m.
