You probably haven't heard of Megan Cassidy or Kelly McCarthy. Then again, you probably haven't heard of many players on the women's soccer team. That's because coach Darren Ambrose carries 29 players on his roster, even though only 11 can be on the field at once.

There's another solution when you forget your grandmother's birthday after the local CVS has closed its doors. Enter the Penn eCard, a new free service offered by the University as "a greener way to share the red and the blue," according to the Web site. Senders can choose from 85 different images related to Penn, as well as from additional images specifically from the Law and Veterinary Schools.

A few machine malfunctions and names missing from lists of registered voters held up the voting process at polls around campus yesterday. But most polling stations reported a smooth election day, and the long lines some had predicted didn't materialize. The Penn Care and Rehabilitation Center at 36th and Chestnut streets was the only polling place on or around Penn's campus to report significant glitches.

I received a promotional e-mail from Starbucks on Monday that proposed a question: "What if we cared as much on November 5th as we care on November 4th?" Don't let the origin of this message diminish the question's merit. Today is Nov. 5 - how much do you care about the election now? Or better yet, how much will it matter tomorrow? After such a long election season, it's easy for us to let out a sigh of relief and settle back into our politically apathetic lives.

CHICAGO - Hundreds of thousands of supporters turned out last night in Chicago's Grant Park to celebrate the man who will be the next president of the United States: Sen. Barack Obama. The Illinois Democrat will become the country's 44th president, and is the first African American to be elected to the position.

As predicted, network analysts last night painted Pennsylvania blue as Illinois Sen. Barack Obama overwhelmingly won the state, 55 to 45 percent. Pennsylvania was the first major step on the way to victory for Obama. This was reflected in the emphasis put on the announcement that he had won less than an hour after polls closed at 8:00 p.

When students walk into Nathanael Ackerman's Math 104 and Math 170 classes, they expect to be lectured by an expert on derivatives, logarithms and complex numbers. What they may not know, though, is that their professor is equally proficient in takedowns, half-nelsons and arm drags.

If the stickers, megaphones and sea of blue T-shirts didn't make everything clear, the message scrawled across the chalkboard of a Huntsman Hall classroom last night did: "Penn Baracked the Vote." The Penn Democrats election night party brought at least 80 students out to watch the results roll in.

If you thought the language requirement at Penn would never come in handy, think again. Several Penn students spent election day yesterday offering language assistance to Spanish-speaking Philadelphia voters at voting locations across the city. The project was organized through a collaboration between the city of Philadelphia and Campus Philly.

Hindsight is 20/20. And that's exactly what Penn Course Review provides. By displaying student evaluations of classes from past semesters, the system allows current students to make more informed course registration decisions. Starting in spring 2009, the system will be completely electronic, meaning that students won't have to fill out paper evaluations anymore.

Penn led the vote yesterday, with almost 4,000 people voting on campus. At on-campus polling locations - David Rittenhouse Lab, Steinberg-Dietrich Hall, Harrison College House, Harnwell College House, Houston Hall and the Penn Care and Rehabilitation Center - 3,833 people voted, according to Penn Leads the Vote.

Penn and Brown showed their true colors on Saturday night at Rhodes Field: red and yellow. The teams amassed a total of 33 fouls - 18 by the Bears, 15 by the Quakers - and racked up seven yellow cards and one red. The Bears took all four of their yellow cards in the first half, including two from midfielder Darren Howerton in the first twenty minutes.

Chances are you've done it before. You take your seat and scan the room to size up the competition - the annoying girl in the front row, the seemingly clueless guy who says nothing all semester but invariably aces the test - until your eyes stop on the mass of muscle in the back, decked out in his team-issued hoodie and athletic pants.

In a new ranking of executive MBA programs by The Wall Street Journal, the Wharton School came in second to Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. For the first time ever, the Journal created a survey of executive MBA programs. The newspaper created a list of the top 26 schools, based on surveys from thousands of students and hundreds of companies.

Those who didn't vote before 5 p.m. yesterday were treated to a special message on their cell phones. When lines at the polls wound down yesterday evening, Penn Leads the Vote hosted a "war room," a tactic often employed by campaigns to reach voters, in an effort to turn out students who had not yet voted.
