(I didn't submit it, because they ask you not to do that without a genuine effort) However, I have a bit of doubt of the accuracy of this kind of test. I just did the French one, and it thinks I have a vocabulary of 22,000 words, and I'm nowhere near to bilingual.

Film & Discussion: Cairo 678
"Three Cairene women from different backgrounds join together in uneasy solidarity to combat the sexual harassment that has impacted each of their lives. We begin on an overcrowded bus line, dreaded by Fayza as a daily site of humiliation and anguish. Responding to a self-defense talk by Seba, whose own assault has driven her marriage apart, Fayza fights back—and soon has a police detective searching for her amid public panic. Meanwhile, Nelly, an aspiring comic, faces pressure from family to drop a lawsuit against her attacker. Mohamed Diab's deftly braided narrative tells a gripping, timely social tale through its patchwork of interconnected lives and deeds." —Robert Avila
The film screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Mohamed Diab and producer Sarah Goher.
The World Affairs Council would like to thank the San Francisco Film Society for co-organizing this event. This film screening is presented as part of the San Francisco Film Society's Artist in Residence program, in partnership with Compound.
Speaker: Mohamed Diab, Filmmaker

UTSA emergency alert system launches Jan. 30
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
(Jan. 24, 2008)--Reverse 911, a new emergency notification system, will be activated Jan. 30 at the UTSA Tri-campuses. In an emergency, UTSA students, faculty and staff will be contacted by telephone, text message and e-mail.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
To be notified, students, faculty and staff must be registered. More than 90 percent of UTSA students and more than 60 percent of faculty and staff already have registered their emergency contact information via the ASAP information system.
- To register for Reverse 911 notification, log on to ASAP, scroll to "Personal Information" and select "Reverse 911 Emergency Alert Contacts." (If problems occur during registration, e-mail email@example.com.)
- Or, download a Reverse 911 form at the Office of Business Continuity and Emergency Management Web site.
Registrants are immediately active in the system. Messages will include pertinent emergency information and protective actions.
"The safety and security of our students, employees and visitors is of the utmost importance," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "This new notification system will greatly enhance our ability to get in touch with the UTSA community as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency. I encourage everyone to provide their emergency alert contact information so UTSA can best establish this robust Reverse 911 communication system."
"We are pleased that many members of the UTSA community have already registered for Reverse 911," said Donovan Agans, UTSA director of business continuity and emergency management. "We encourage you to register if you have not done so, because a 100-percent participation rate can greatly enhance campus safety. This system will be very helpful because it will be used to directly contact students and employees, rather than their parents or spouses."
The Reverse 911 system was selected after a search to find the best system for UTSA's needs. In November, San Diego city and county officials used the system to alert citizens to evacuate during the California wildfires. Other universities using Reverse 911 are Michigan State University, University of Connecticut and Yale University.

WQ309, Reviewed January 2009
A primary need and concern for most confinement livestock producers is managing manure so that groundwater and surface water are protected and regulatory requirements are fulfilled. This objective is usually accomplished by applying manure to the land in such a manner that the potential polluting nutrients (N, P, K and organic matter) are used by the soil-plant complex and are not allowed to enter the groundwater/surface water infrastructure.
Manure should be viewed as a fertilizer resource and managed similarly to commercial fertilizer in the fertility program. The occasional practice of meeting fertility requirements with commercial fertilizer, then applying manure in addition "for good measure," can easily lead to adverse impacts on water quality. In general, Missouri waste application regulations are based on the rate of nitrogen application. With this scenario, the phosphorus and potash applied may greatly exceed crop needs. Therefore, optimum use of plant nutrients may necessitate applying less nitrogen from waste than the crop needs and buying supplemental nitrogen to balance crop needs.
Applying phosphorus to fields with a Bray 1-P test level exceeding 800 pounds per acre may aggravate surface water quality problems
It is highly recommended that a representative sample of dairy waste be analyzed for nutrient values immediately prior to spreading, in addition to soil tests, before determining the land application rate. The purpose of this publication, however, is to provide guidance for application of waste without the benefit of a lab analysis or a soil test. Other publications in this series address application of dairy waste with other scenarios.
Unlike commercial fertilizers, manure is a highly variable substance, even within a given animal specie, and variations of 50 to 100 percent among test samples are not unusual. Other management considerations peculiar to livestock operations, such as lagoon pumping in the fall to provide storage during winter and spring months, or manure storage-tank emptying at whatever intervals are required to prevent overflow, dictate different management than commercial fertilizer that can just be "ordered and spread."
If a laboratory analysis is not available, average values of manure nutrients in similar waste management systems, as reported in the literature, must be used. Table 1 lists values for dairy waste.
Table 1Average nutrient levels in dairy waste.1
In contrast to commercial fertilizer, manure has the potential for nutrients (primarily nitrogen in the form of ammonia) to be lost to the atmosphere after field spreading. Table 2 shows the loss of ammonia nitrogen before incorporation. Table 3 lists the percent of available organic nitrogen available with time. Table 4 gives the percent of various nutrients available in the growing season after application. Table 5 provides a basis for estimating the expected nitrogen release from soil organic matter for major annual crops in lieu of a soil test. Table 6 lists nitrogen credits for crops following various legumes.
Table 2Manure ammonia-nitrogen loss by days until incorporated into the soil (unavailable portion is lost to the atmosphere)
Table 3Manure organic nitrogen available by year
Table 4Other minerals and micronutrients available in manure
Table 5Expected N release from soil organic matter for major annual crops when a current soil test is not available (assumes a cation exchange capacity from 10.1 to 18.0 meq per 100 grams and organic matter content less than or equal to 2 percent (no credit given for N released with perennial crops)
Table 6Nitrogen supplied by legumes for succeeding crops (optimum)
If soil tests are not available for guidance on nutrient application rates, a standard rate of 100 pounds of N per acre per year might be used. This application rate would conform to the regulatory guideline for sizing soil-plant filters under the conservative management approach. This publication, however, details a procedure for estimating the amount of manure to apply to satisfy the projected crop needs for nitrogen, which may exceed the 100 pounds per acre allowed under the conservative management approach. However, one may wish to use this worksheet with 100 pounds of N per acre applied (conservative approach) to see what happens with P and K. A blank "Manure fertility worksheet" is included for actual applications.
NoteThis approach cannot be used (to apply more than 100 pounds of N per acre per year) if the Department of Natural Resources has issued a letter of approval based on the "conservative approach" of applying not more than 100 pounds of nitrogen per year regardless of the crop and the production level of the crop.
A fescue hayfield (soil-plant filter) is available for receiving dairy waste. No laboratory analysis of the manure to be applied is available and no soil tests have been performed on the soil-plant filter area. A yield goal of 3 tons of hay per acre is assumed. Given this information, how many inches of lagoon effluent, how many gallons per acre of slurry, and how many tons per acre of solid manure can be applied?
Since no soil test is available, the nitrogen requirement for fescue production found in Table 7 will be used and manure will be applied to supply adequate nitrogen for the desired yield goal. For fescue (a perennial), no credit is given for nitrogen release from soil organic matter or from a previous legume crop.
Table 7Nitrogen, phosphate and potash removal from soil by various crops
From Table 7, for a yield goal of 3 tons per acre per year, we calculate the following nutrient removal by fescue hay:
Since no laboratory analysis of the manure is available, the average values from Table 1 will be used. Assume that the waste applied as solid or liquid will not be incorporated into the soil, therefore the loss of ammonia-nitrogen will be 80 percent. Assume that the waste applied as lagoon effluent will be incorporated into the soil within two days after application (by infiltration into the soil), therefore the loss of ammonia-nitrogen will be only 20 percent.
For the application of solid manure with no bedding, complete the "Solid dairy manure worksheet" below to determine the proper application rate. Assume the soil-plant filter area has not received manure from any source the past three years. See Table 1 for average nutrients per unit of manure applied.
For the application of liquid manure (slurry) with no bedding, complete the "Liquid dairy manure worksheet" below to determine the proper application rate. Assume the soil-plant filter area received 3,800 gallons of liquid dairy manure per acre two years ago. See Table 1 for average nutrients per unit of manure applied.
For the application of waste from a lagoon, complete the "Lagoon effluent worksheet" below to determine the proper application rate. Assume the soil-plant filter area has received 1.45 inches of dairy lagoon effluent each of the past six years. See Table 1 for average nutrients per unit of manure applied.
NoteK-gal = 1,000 gallons
NoteK-gal=1,000 gallons
NoteDo not perform the conversion from P to P5.
________ x 2.27 = ________ pounds P5 per acre
NoteDo not perform the conversion from K to K2O.

Extra patrols on lakes for Operation Dry Water
BRISTOL, Tenn. - We're just days away from the Fourth of July, which means this weekend lakes are full of people out celebrating.
With extra people out on the water, that means extra patrols are out making sure everyone is staying safe.
News 5 rode around with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to find out what violations they're looking for.
The Buckner family spends a lot of time on South Holston Lake. "We bring at least five to 10 kids and they try out the wakeboard and ride the jet skis," Lujean Buckner says.
Being responsible for that many children, these parents are always looking out for their safety. "I trust them," Tim Buckner says, "but it's the other people on the water that you worry about, that maybe had too much to drink or don't know boating safety rules."
That's why the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will have more officers out the next couple of weekends for what they're calling 'Operation Dry Water'. It's an effort to make sure boaters aren't drinking.
We've learned 17percent of boating fatalities are a result of alcohol use. Wildlife Officer David Carpenter tells us that's why they're looking for impaired drivers. "Quite a bit of boating-related fatalities and boating accidents are associated with alcohol use. So essentially, what we're trying to do is cut down on that by increased patrol efforts for boating under the influence," Carpenter says.
We're told it's not illegal to drink alcohol while driving a boat; it's driving one while impaired that will get you in trouble. "Typically handled by arrests, it's very similar to a DUI on the road. So we usually take them in if it's boating under the influence," Carpenter continues.
This is the fifth year of Operation Dry Water and Carpenter says it seems to be working, because there have been less severe accidents.
Tim Buckner says he just wants drivers out there to remember one thing. "People just fail to realize when you're on the water, it's every much as responsibility as when you're on the road," he said.
TWRA officers in our area will be out all this weekend and the next for this campaign.

Seminar tells Whitefish area residents what to be alert for this fall
The Whitefish Area Property Owners Association (WAPOA) hosted an aquatic invasive species (AIS) seminar Sept. 25 at the Ideal Town Hall to provide a recap of the discovery and identification of invasive zebra mussels in the Whitefish Chain, as well as the July 22-25 search for zebra mussel velligers (microscopic young) in lakes where adult zebra mussels were not found.
The seminar also gave participants advice for removal of lake equipment this fall. Residents were advised to make sure that lake service providers — those who are paid to remove boats, docks and boat lifts from lakes — are certified in their trade. WAPOA has a list of certified lake service providers.
Those lake service providers are required by law to take classes that include education on AIS and acquire certification. It is illegal to provide lake services for pay otherwise.
Residents were told that they should be on the lookout for adult zebra mussels on equipment being removed from lakes. If residents find zebra mussels on docks, pump filters, boat lifts or other equipment they should photograph them and save a sample. They should then contact WAPOA or the DNR to report it, and have the sample collected and documented by a professional.
Residents may also deliver samples to a local DNR office, but should not transport samples without first speaking to a DNR representative over the phone, as it is illegal to transport live AIS and there may be someone available to pick up the samples. WAPOA is interested in documenting the places where these zebra mussels are found.
Residents were also instructed to store all boats and machines out of the water, as velligers are capable of getting into the working parts of motors, which could cause the machines to fail. Use of boat lifts is recommended.
If boats or equipment are being moved from one place to another, residents were reminded to allow all water to drain and to allow the items to dry completely, preferably for a minimum of five days. Velligers do not survive long on dry surfaces. Residents were also reminded that it is not only boats that transport AIS but also docks and boat lifts, so private lakeshore owners should be as vigilant as traveling boaters.
Residents were also told that zebra mussels and velligers do not swim, and are not transported by animals, only human beings. Zebra mussel infestations do appear to improve water quality through filter feeding, but they also outcompete small fish for food, which can drastically reduce game fish numbers.
They have sharp shells which can cut people's feet, and some lakes with large infestations have been found to have large numbers of dead diving birds, like ducks and loons, due to botulism from the zebra mussel feces. The disadvantages of zebra mussel infestation far outweigh the benefits.

ELLE: When did you decide you wanted to get into politics?
Anna Valencia: In third grade, when I wrote an essay saying I wanted to be the first woman president. Since then, I've always been fascinated by politics and leadership roles. I would knock on doors with my father for our mayor in my hometown, and in high school I was student body president. My grandfather even nicknamed me "the politician." I never could tell if it was a compliment or an insult. After college, I worked on various campaigns in Virginia and Michigan. It was through an old campaign buddy that I got my foot in the door of the mayor's office.
ELLE: As an assistant to the mayor, your job is to serve as a liaison between him and city council members, and your day can take you anywhere from a ribbon cutting for a library to a fundraiser at a swank restaurant. How do you decide what to wear in the morning?
AV: The mayor always reminds us that we work for the taxpayers, not for him, and it's very important to him that the people of the city feel at home in City Hall. So I dress depending on the functions that are going on that day. If I'm out mentoring students, I'll wear jeans and a blouse with ballet flats, or boots if it's cold. If I have to go to a nighttime event, I like sturdy pumps—the mayor moves so quickly, you want to be able to keep up.

"Students at UTSA want more services and are willing to pay for them," said Jason Palasota, UTSA student government president, in a March 29 story in the San Antonio Express-News. Palasota and other student leaders said UTSA students were actively involved in the tuition-rate process.
According to a national study released by the State Higher Education Executives Organization last week, "Despite an appropriations increase of 3.5 percent in fiscal year 2005, constant dollar per student state and local funding for public colleges and universities was at the lowest point in 25 years … Support per student decreased dramatically from 2001 to 2005 because enrollment grew at 14.3 percent and inflation grew by 14.2 percent, without corresponding increases in public funding."

Celebrate LIFE - it's World Spay Day!
HAWS again joins animal rescue organizations around the globe to observe World Spay Day 2014 – Tuesday, February 25th.
In honor of the annual world-wide awareness campaign to prevent pet overpopulation, HAWS' Spay-Neuter Initiative Program (SNIP) Clinic is providing free spay-neuter services for the pets of qualifying Waukesha County residents this week. Noted Lynn Olenik, HAWS Executive Director: "Our focus is on cats, kittens, Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes – species and breeds most at risk in Waukesha County."
Olenik continued: "Throughout the entire year, HAWS' SNIP clinic offers many free and low-cost opportunities for pet owners. Project Guardian, in particular, provides free spays and neuters for those with outdoor/barn cat populations. Since Project Guardian began almost a decade ago, the number of homeless cats coming to HAWS has been reduced by more than 30%. Spay-neuter works!"
HAWS asks for support through "Sponsor-A-Spay" donations to the shelter. A simple donation of $30 covers one cat neuter, and $75 a dog spay. Any amount - $5 to $500 - makes a difference and saves lives! To make a donation, call HAWS at 262-542-8851, visit hawspets.org or send a donation to HAWS SNIP, PO Box 834, Waukesha, WI, 53187-0834.
To promote greater community awareness, area breed rescue groups have been invited to join HAWS for a Spay Day celebration on Wednesday, February 26th at 11:30 a.m., to share cake and tour the shelter's surgical suite. HAWS veterinarians and SNIP clinic staff will be available to answer questions.
"World Spay Day promotes the control of our pet population in a very positive light," said Olenik. "And everyone can get involved in Spay Day, by advocating spay and neuter for pets, purchasing a limited edition World Spay Day t-shirt at HAWS, or with a financial contributions," said Olenik.
By the way - this weekend is HAWS Annual RODENT RALLY!! Join us on Saturday for a day of all things little-critter. Details at hawspets.org.

Reviews of this property
We were very pleased with our accommodation in Prague! The (German-speaking) staff was extremely friendly and eager to make our stay enjoyable. Also the room was nice and clean. We recommend!
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserer Unterkunft in Prag! Das (deutsch sprechende) Personal war äußerst freundlich und bemüht, unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten. Auch das Zimmer war schön und sauber. Sehr zu empfehlen!
The room of Jan was very nice and clean, kudos to the German-speaking staff, which has very good care of our needs and questions. The breakfast was in our opinion, unfortunately to be desired, the coffee and the tea water into the thermos was cold, the bread from the day before and everything was all was not refilled - nothing for late risers. The center can easily be reached in about 15 minutes walk or take the tram that runs almost on the doorstep. Prague is a very beautiful city and highly recommended. would definitely come back.
Das Zimmer von Jan war sehr schön und sauber, ein großes Lob an das deutsch sprechende Personal, was sich sehr um unsere Belange und Fragen gekümmert hat. Das Frühstück ließ unserer Meinung nach leider zu wünschen übrig, der Kaffee und das Teewasser in den Thermoskannen war kalt, die Brötchen vom Vortag und alles was alle war wurde nicht mehr nachgefüllt - nichts für Langschläfer. Das Zentrum ist in ca. 15 Gehminuten gut zu erreichen oder man nimmt die Tram die fast vor der Haustür fährt. Prag ist eine sehr schöne Stadt und absolut zu empfehlen. kommen gerne wieder.
2great beds, english reception and delicious cheese on breakfast!! :) enjoy everyone, Jan is a great Home-Boss:)
The room was very comfortable and the price established in accordance with appropriate. The Gatgeber are extremely friendly and accommodating and happy to fulfill special requests. I would be happy to book this accommodation again.

Special praise goes to the staff!
Friendliness and helpfulness are exemplary.

To solve the parking problems and the city better explore Can we recommend guarded to use very low-cost parking at Holesovice station (380, - cones = € 15.20 for 3 days) and with Stassenbahn and Metro ride. (60 min. 24 kroner = 0.96 €).
Have fun in the beautiful city of Prague.

Um die Parkprobleme zu lösen und die Stadt besser erkunden zu Können empfehlen wir den bewachten, sehr preisgünstigen Parkplatz am Bahnhof Holesovice zu nutzen ( 380,- Konen = 15,20 € für 3 Tage ) und mit Stassenbahn und Metro zu fahren. ( 60 Min. 24 Kronen= 0,96 € ).
Viel Spass in der schönen Stadt Prag.

Reviews for this host's other properties
I would not stay at this place again, in fact I only stayed the first night and found alternative accommodation elsewhere. I arrived late and chose not to take the taxi as it was more expensive than the one from the airport. I wasn't given the code to get the key for the door. I was instructed to ring a number which I did and then was told to ring a different number.The whole process took too long and there was absolutely no welcome at all. The place was cold and unfriendly. The carpet in hall way stank and the room itself stank of bleach and was like a prison cell!The host was not helpful at all, considering that I am a foreigner and don't know the country very well.I would not recommend this place to anyone.I gave it a one star rating as there is not option to give zero star.
Starts with smelly reception area. Tobacco smoke and B.O. Then met by a very unfriendly fat man who was of no help. He shoved two registration slips in front of us and grunted something about filling them out. When we got to our room on the third floor (in the attic) the room remained was stifling hot!! And remained so our entire stay despite some sort of cooling fan that was not adequate. We stayed three nights. The shower leaked and was "repaired via tape". The stair was broken and we tripped on that.
When we checked out we found out breakfast was offered. No one told us about this ether. We will certainly not stay here again.

Sen. Marco Rubio gives the Weekly Republican Remarks
Hello, I'm Marco Rubio. I have the honor of representing Florida in the United States Senate, and the privilege of addressing you today on behalf of my fellow Republicans. (Scroll to the bottom for a full video of these remarks.)
Our middle class has made America different from the rest of the world. Every country has rich people. But only a few places have achieved a vibrant and stable middle class. And none has been more vibrant and more stable than ours. But now a growing opportunity gap has developed between the dreams of millions of Americans and the opportunities for them to actually realize them.
Americans are struggling to find or keep middle class jobs for two reasons: because our economy is not creating enough of these jobs and because too many of our people don't have the education or skills required for the jobs that are being created.
A limited government can and must help solve these challenges.
We must get the national debt under control. Tax increases will not solve our $16 trillion debt. Only economic growth and a reform of entitlement programs will help control the debt.
We must reform our complicated, uncertain, job-killing tax code, by getting rid of unjustified loopholes. But our goal should be to generate new revenue by creating new taxpayers, not new taxes.
We must follow a balanced approach to regulations. Regulations are needed, but they cost money to follow. The more expensive a regulation is, the less money a business has leftover to give raises or hire new people.
We must not let American innovation in our energy industry go to waste. We have the potential for all kinds of new middle class jobs—from the fields and platforms where we drill, to the manufacturing plants that will return to the U.S. with the lower cost of energy. But we need government to encourage these job opportunities, not continue to block them.
A return to sound monetary policy would also help by making the future value of a dollar more predictable.
And we must get the cost of health insurance under control. You should be able to get a health care plan that fits your needs and your budget, from any company in America that's willing to sell it to you, and with the same tax benefit if you buy it yourself or have an employer buy it for you.
These ideas will help create middle class jobs. But we also have to make sure that our people have the skills to do these new jobs.
And a limited government can help by promoting curriculum reform, teacher training and empowering parents with the freedom to choose their kids' school.
Our tax code should reward education investments the same way companies are encouraged to invest in equipment.
Let's encourage career, technical and vocational education, stop discriminating against online courses, encourage skill development that doesn't require the traditional four-year college route and reform our federal grant and loan programs.
And let's make sure our students and parents know what they're getting into financially when it comes to planning their college studies.
The bottom line is, let's stop preparing 21st century students using a 20th century education model, instead let's be creative, innovative and daring in reforming the way we provide our people the skills they're going to need to make it to the middle class.
And finally, we must realize that our social well-being has a direct impact on our economic well-being. Societal breakdown can't be solved by government, but it also can't be ignored by government.
Helping people make it into the middle class is a personal issue for me.
My parents worked in the service industry. In almost any other nation on earth, their jobs would barely provide for daily living much less a better future. But in America, my parents made it to the middle class.
Today, the journey my parents made from poor immigrants to middle class, it's harder than it was in their time because the world has changed. The economy has changed. But whether or not the journey my parents made is still possible to all who are willing to work for it, well that will decide whether America will decline or whether America will remain exceptional.
The emergence of a strong, 21st century American middle class is the answer to our most pressing challenges. And it all starts with our people.
In our hotel kitchens, in the landscaping crews working in our neighborhoods, and in the late-night janitorial shifts that clean our offices. There. There you will find the dreams America was built on. There you will find the promise of tomorrow.
Their journey is also our nation's destiny. And if they can give their children what our parents gave us, well, then life in 21st century America can be better than it has ever been.
May God bless all of you. And may God bless the United States of America. ####

My W520 I7-7220 w/8 GB Mem, 160SSD, ultrabay 500GB seagate XT Momentus, win 64 pro, office 2010 pro has had issues from the start.
BSOD occurred on original setup with very little software.
Lenovo replaced memory very quickly (swapped in their package very efficient)
Learned to live with "occassional" BSOD.. kept updating BIOS.. being patient as I have 3 of these and only one is a problem.
Later the system was unable to dock (mini dock 3) and operate with Ethernet at full speed. Sometimes no connection other times 2.0 Mbps. Unit sent in and motherboard replaced.
Now have had shutdowns with and w/o BSOD:
1-at start up after going into sleep or hibernate
2-when relocating from one location to another
3-when going on dock after relocation
The following BSOD Messages have come up over that past 2 months
Bad Pool Header
IRQ Not less or equal
Power manager stopped working
Page fault in non paged area
It looks like this issue affect others as I saw a long post from 10-14-2011 07:53 AM which is very similar.
I have run memory tests but no errors.
I'm NOT a technician but looking for improvements.
Unit still under warranty but last service took 7 days and I don't function well without it.
Likely to update warranty to faster turnaround.
Any suggestions appreciated.. sorry for any long delays.. (probably rebooting ;-)
Continue with screen shutdowns.. have had a few intermittent without bluescreens lately also had a couple indicating video driver stopped but recovered. Sometimes the computer just shuts off. Lots of fun.
As an experiment...
Try disabling CPU power management in BIOS and see if the random shutdown events continue...
We have a long running discussion on Wt520 random shutdowns and there seem to be multiple possible causes and we are working to address these. Some have been addressed in prior BIOS updates.
Also, be sure you are running the latest BIOS.
Best regards,
I believe that memory has been an ongoing "Known issue".
My memory was replaced early on by Lenovo.
I am going to assume that the replacement memory that was provided to me by Lenovo is working correctly.
I just upated the Bios and switch the CPU power management to disabled. Give it a couple days and I'll report back. This is not something I can replicate with any certainty. Relocating from home (non dock.. either wireless or ethernet on small home network) to work (dock typically ethernet with 2nd monitor) at some point triggers the event but most recently (even with the flash of a blue screen) does not set a bluescreen view event on the bluescreenview.exe software.
Thanks for the help and suggestions..
I was having this problem real bad with 4 x 4gb of SAMSUNG memory. It would BSOD at idle and other times, sometimes it was two or three times a day. All with the same errors that you show. I replaced the memory on 12/29 with 4 x 8GB Corsair and I have YET to have a BSOD or shutdown. I did not do anything to the power management.
01-24-2012 02:45 PM - edited 01-24-2012 02:45 PM
Interesting, I was having the same pattern - would sometimes BSOD idle and sometimes when doing something, and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Swapped ram no BSODs since. I did the ram checks - nothing wrong with them found. I sent them back to Crucial for a refund, but expect they were ok.
Well, it has been a little while and random BSOD continues. I was able to see "System Service Exception" once. The BSOD happens very quickly,very randomly. Sometimes on initial startup, at least once it happened twice at startup. It has happened when no activity was occurring.. I was on the phone and BLINK.. and it has happened while in the middle of an email.
I have not successfully collected any information on bluescreenview.. although I can't honestly say I know if it is configured correctly. There are no files in the "minidump". Is it worth just replacing the RAM? Woould that be covered under warranty "Again"?

WHAT: Colorful Protest Rally Outside - Creative Visuals -
Local and International Shareholder Activism Inside Chevron's Annual Shareholder Meeting
WHEN: Wednesday, May 24
7:00am – 11:00am
WHERE: Chevron's World Headquarters
6001 Bollinger Canyon Rd
San Ramon, California 94583
WHY: On May 25, Chevron will be confronted by those most impacted by its operations who argue that contrary to Chevron's rosy images portrayed in its "We Agree" Ad campaign, Chevron's operations have abused human rights, polluted environments, and devastated local economies.
Community leaders from Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Canadian tarsands, Alaska, Texas, and more will join those from the Bay Area to attend the company's annual shareholder meeting while supporters hold a colorful rally outside to demand that Chevron agree to change its ways. They and other advocates will attend Chevron's annual shareholder meeting as share- and proxy-holders to deliver their message directly to the company's executives, board members, and other shareholders.
Last year, Chevron moved its shareholder meeting to Houston and denied 17 legal proxy holders their right to attend the meeting, including those who had traveled from Chevron-affected communities in Colombia, Ecuador, Nigeria, Australia, Alaska, Canada and more, who were left standing on the street corner while Chevron's meeting took place. Chevron then instructed the Houston police to arrest five people, including a shareholder inside of the meeting, who opposed the denial of access. Many of those who were turned away last year have returned this year.
They have documented the harmful impacts of Chevron's operations around the world in The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report [1], complete with nearly 500 endnotes, it is an exhaustive and expert investigation into the company's local and global practices. They are putting Chevron on notice that the communities that live and advocate where Chevron operates have formed a powerful international network that is growing in numbers and strength to stand together, hold Chevron fully to account for its harmful practices and demand that it clean up and mend its destructive operations.

Culture club
Page Tools
The MCA's Elizabeth MacGregor.
They're the behind-the-scenes cultural powerbrokers charged with picking the public mood. Sydney's arbiters of the arts tell Joyce Morgan how they decide what we see.
The audience was not exactly your typical black-clad theatre crowd. They arrived in their red-and-green footy scarves and jerseys. At interval, they rushed for the stage instead of the bar in what was the theatrical equivalent of a pitch invasion.
The football fans scoured the set earlier this year, inspecting the Rabbitohs memorabilia used as the backdrop for Company B Belvoir's production of Run Rabbit Run, its play about the David-and-Goliath battle to save South Sydney rugby league club. The piece brought an entirely different audience into the Surry Hills theatre, even though it's situated not far from the Rabbitohs clubhouse in Redfern. "It was great; it was like the stage belonged to them," says artistic director Neil Armfield.
Really, that's the point. The stage ultimately does belong to the public who funds it. Likewise, Sydney's galleries, festivals and the other performing arts companies. But that same public does entrust, to a small group of people, the responsibility to determine what goes on our gallery walls, our stages and our screens. The group's creative choices and judgements affect how we spend our leisure time and, ultimately, the vibrancy of Sydney itself.
Our cultural chiefs, among them Armfield, Robyn Nevin, Edmund Capon, Brett Sheehy, Elizabeth Ann Macgregor, Stuart Maunder, Lynden Barber and Caro Llewellyn, might be most visible on opening nights. They're the public faces of their organisations, the ones called on to make the speeches and schmooze
the sponsors. Yet, in reality, that's just the glamorous tip of Sydney's cultural iceberg. Their real work goes on behind the scenes and backstage as they perform a difficult balancing act: pushing the artistic envelope while programming events the public wants to pay to see.
So how do the people who shape Sydney's cultural landscape decide what we see and hear each year?
And how is success measured?
Is it determined simply by producing bums on seats and a bottom line in the black or by less tangible factors such as an ability to make an imaginative response to our world?
In terms of longevity, seated at the head of the culture club's table - the ultimate arbiter of the arts - is Edmund Capon. For over 30 years, the Art Gallery of NSW's director has overseen hundreds of exhibitions, from blockbusters and retrospectives to the annual Archibald Prize. As the gallery's stature has grown, so, too, has its ability to draw an audience.
"The big museums of the world don't have to work for their audience - the Louvre, the British Museum, the Uffizi. Their reputation precedes them," Capon says. "We didn't have that. To a certain extent, we've now got a reputation."
Mitigating against this is the competition for people's leisure time - it has never been greater. And not just from arts organisations. Restaurants and the internet, too, offer stiff competition. Indeed, the quandary shared by all members of the culture club is how to get people's attention in the face of so many choices. At the gallery it can mean the title of an exhibition is critical. Call a show Albertina: Old Master Drawings from Vienna - as the gallery did two years ago - and the public simply isn't persuaded. Attendance was disappointing.
"Perhaps they thought Albertina was a venue for a musical," Capon says. "So much is about how much you label something to get people's attention. It's like a book. People pick it up and, if a book feels good, they'll buy it."
Knowing what the audience wants is critical to programming that most costly of art forms, opera. It's the reason Opera Australia has done 18 performances of La Traviata this year, but only five of Cunning Little Vixen, says Opera Australia executive producer Stuart Maunder. The full houses that result when it programs operas such as Tosca and La Boheme allow it to do new repertoire.
"We should have surtitles that say Lulu is brought to you by Madame Butterfly or Manon is brought to you by The Mikado because that's the dynamic," Maunder says.
He has been a key player behind the scenes at Opera Australia, particularly since the departure of music director Simone Young, and has overseen programming as well as directed Manon and The Mikado.
"We need four new productions a year to keep the interest of the subscriber base and turn over the repertoire enough," he says.
With opera, it's not the new, adventurous work that brings new or younger audiences. They come to see the classics first. The audience for new operatic work is primarily subscribers.
But there are always unexpected factors that have an impact on the box office. Ticket sales for most arts companies, for instance, dropped dramatically after September 11. And they typically fall during election campaigns, says Robyn Nevin, artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company. So trying to pick the public mood is problematic. Not that Nevin tries to. "I don't anticipate what Sydney wants to see. I don't try to please everybody," she says. "I just hope my choices, if done well, will coincide with public approval."
Her decision this year to cast Cate Blanchett as Hedda Gabler has certainly been hugely popular with audiences. But star power alone is not reason enough to cast an actor, she says. "I am more interested in good actors than famous people. Sometimes they coincide."
As the state theatre company, the company must provide a mix of classic, contemporary and new Australian work. The growth in public appetite for Australian plays has been enormous. "It was a risk to program Australian plays 20 years ago. Now audiences love them," Nevin says.
Risk is expected of arts organisations if they are to do more than present museum pieces. The risks are calculated. But what are the costs of getting it wrong?
Astronomical, says Brett Sheehy, the director of the Sydney Festival. Because a red bottom line has political as well as financial implications, festivals are not givens, and no government will commit to a festival come what may, he says.
"My concern is that [a large deficit] could kill off a festival," Sheehy says. "There are nefarious forces in the community just waiting to use it to beat the Government and the artistic community over the head."
Sheehy's biggest risk was programming the centrepiece of his first Sydney Festival in 2002, Theatre du Soleil's The Flood Drummers, a four-hour epic spoken in French set in China 1000 years ago where the actors played puppets. The gamble paid off. The work sold out and it gave Sheehy greater confidence to trust his instincts.
Sheehy admits there was criticism that this year's festival was too dark, but feels it reflected a darker mood in the artistic zeitgeist. And perhaps he's right. Certainly, Lynden Barber, the incoming director of the Sydney Film Festival, detects this among filmmakers since September 11, even in Oscar-nominated movies such as Mystic River and 21 Grams. "They weren't direct comments on September 11 at all," Barber says. "But the public mood is creating an atmosphere in which these stories can find a greater grip."
Barber is the new kid on the block, a recent recruit to the culture club. And he's already prepared for the brickbats that will inevitably come when he directs his first festival next June. The former journalist has penned his share of criticism in the past. "I'm steeling myself to get slagged off," he says.
While film remains the most popular of media, contemporary art is probably the most difficult. When the Scottish-born Elizabeth Ann Macgregor planted her tartan boots under the director's desk at the Museum of Contemporary Art five years ago, she faced a battle on two fronts. She had to persuade Sydneysiders there was more to contemporary art than pickled cows and unmade beds. And she had to rescue an institution on the verge of collapse.
"When the MCA was in trouble, there were a lot of negative comments about contemporary art. [People asked] was it worth having an institution that in many people's eyes is inaccessible and difficult?" she says.
Macgregor went on the offensive, persuading everyone from board chairs to Blacktown residents why the MCA was essential to the city's cultural life. And she abolished admission fees. Now audiences are growing at about 10 per cent a year.
With its future secured, the MCA has started buying art again. But an acquisition budget of just $100,000 this year doesn't go far.
"We must be buying artists early. We must have the courage," she says.
Getting in early and the confidence that comes from thorough knowledge of an artist's work can result in enormous cachet for an organisation. Caro Llewellyn, director of the Sydney Writers' Festival, pulled off a coup with the appearance this year of controversial author DBC Pierre. She had invited him well before he won the Booker Prize. Suddenly, he was hot property internationally.
"Then everyone was trying to bump us," Llewellyn says. "He said, 'No, Caro got in first, before all the hoopla. I'm going to honour that.'"
Llewellyn has broadened the audience for the seven-year-old festival, which used to comprise mainly women over 45. This year, the 45,000 people who attended were spread across all ages and the percentage of men had increased, reflecting the way that arts organisations are constantly looking at ways to broaden their audiences.
At Company B Belvoir, Armfield speaks for all the culture club when he reflects on why he continues to do what he does. "You try and make a meaningful response to the world and to your immediate society," he says. "But in a way that is metaphorical often and symbolic, and has all of the delights and the magical life of a story that you can tell in the dark."

The Freshman Connections program supports a modified learning community experience for first-year students during their fall semester at Ball State. All first-year students have the opportunity to participate in the campus' living-learning communities, including commuters. The learning communities include new students, faculty, residence hall directors, academic advisors, professional staff, and upperclass student mentors.
How is a student placed in a living-learning community?
On the second day of summer orientation, students sign up for selected University Core Curriculum (UCC) courses available only for those students assigned to a particular residence unit or for those who choose to commute to campus. Students are able to sign up for one, two, or even three UCC courses depending on class space available. Can you give me an example of a living-learning community? Sure. For instance, 300 of 3,500 first-year students might be assigned to Woodworth Complex where eight core curriculum courses are assigned. A large history class might have 100 of its 224 students living together in Woodworth Complex. Or 100 might be taking an English class with four faculty members who work together to establish shared activities that support ideas covered in class. Or 100 students might be taking both the history and English classes, again with faculty working with residence hall staff to connect ideas from the classroom to activities outside the classroom. What programs does Freshman Connections sponsor? Freshman Connections overall sponsors the Freshman Common Reader and Writing Experience and builds a series of fall semester events (speakers, panel discussions, movies, receptions) around the book selected. Some events are cosponsored by such other community and university organizations as Indiana Public Radio. Can you describe further what students gain from Freshman Connections? The purpose of Freshman Connections is to help new students more quickly and more fully integrate into our learning community at Ball State. Our central purpose is learning.
In a recent summary report on student engagement and retention in postsecondary education, "interaction with faculty positively affected reading comprehension, critical thinking, openness to diversity, and internal attribution of academic success, [while] interaction with peers has a positive effect on mathematics knowledge, openness to diversity, learning for self-understanding, and preference for higher-order cognitive tasks."
From the start, Freshman Connections has taken the approach that with increased learning (i.e., inside/outside of class, between students and faculty members, and among students themselves), increased persistence, retention, and graduation rates follow. How do I find out more? Easy. You can either browse our site for information on current teams, programming, and structure, or e-mail your question or request to email@example.com.

Rapper Rick Ross has crashed his Rolls-Royce into a building after hearing shots being fired at the vehicle, police say.
Fort Lauderdale police say Ross and his companion, fashion designer Shateria Moragne-el, reported hearing multiple shots fired in their direction about 5am on Monday.
Police say Ross lost control of the silver Rolls and crashed into an apartment building.
Neither Ross nor his passenger was injured and police say it did not appear that any bullets struck the Rolls.
The police report uses Ross's real name, William Roberts.
Ross turned 37 on Monday.
Authorities say unknown suspects fled before police arrived.
TV news footage showed a bullet hole in the window of a nearby restaurant.
A Ross spokesman didn't immediately respond to email seeking comment.

nice apartment, great localisation, everything excellent!!! highly recommended!!!
Wonderful, modern appartment. Easy to find from description by the guy who gave us the keys. Shops, restaurants and city center nearby. With Windows closed, you don't hear the traffic outside the window. Clean street with no cars, just the tramway. We had a very pleasant stay.
The appartement is beautiful and clean. The price is very nice. The organisation is uncomplicated and friendly.
The apartment is very nice and clean, and there was everything we needed. The location of the apartment was perfect for us, close to everything, including restaurants and bars. They have even included a welcome folder, where they recommend what to see, and where to eat and so on. We missed one set of towels on our arrival, but we texted them, and they were delivered soon after. All in all a great place I will recommend.
The room was good but small and quite durty and definetely not 30 mх2 as was proposed. Also, we found out beg-bugs there. We sms-ed Salvatory and he moved us to the another room without any extra-payment the same day. The new apartment was wonderful - big and nice.
There is only one word: perfect!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Was a wonderfull, good located Location to Stay and the Host was very friendly !
It seemed all to easy. The price was right, the apartment was spacy, realy nice and confortable. It was perfectly in the middle of the storic centre. And what was so easy: on our departure, we could just leave our keys of the appartment on the table. Great. We'll be back soon !!!

For the casual music fan, the record store might seem an anachronism in the age of the iPod. And in a way, it is. That's no small part of the charm.
But as the recent additions to Rhode Island's record shop scene suggest, vinyl is in the midst of a full-on revival. Last year, Americans bought more than 3.9 million records, up some 39 percent from 2010.
It isn't just a backlash to the digital. That's too simple. Your garden-variety hipster — milk crates full of Leonard Cohen and Arctic Monkeys — still appreciates the portability bestowed by Steve Jobs.
"You can't take records jogging," says Kevin Morosini, 33, owner of Olympic Records, an appealing collection of indie rock, punk, and pinball machines on Wickenden Street in Providence (they were the readers' pick for Best CD/Record Store in last weeks's mega-Best issue).
Indeed, nearly all new records, these days, come with a download card that allows the customer to pluck the album off the Interzone for free when she gets home.
But however canny the labels' mix of nostalgia for the tactile and digital-age reality, records are still a niche product. And independent record stores (more than 700 in the US) are always in search of new customers.
Hence, Record Store Day, a five-year-old confection that falls on the third Saturday of April each year — that's April 21 this time around. (For a complete list of stores and more info, go to recordstoreday.com.) The labels offer up all kinds of exclusives on vinyl and CD. Some are gimmicky and overpriced. Many are great finds.
And while customers show up for the albums, the stores do their best to spice up the event with extras. At In Your Ear in Warren, roots rockers Joe Fletcher and Keith McCurdy will perform and the first 50 customers will get a Record Store Day grab bag filled with CD samplers, stickers, buttons, and a mystery, vintage T-shirt.
OK, I'm going to spoil the mystery: they're decades old promotional Ts for boxer "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler.
The store also plans to raffle off copies of what it expects to be two of its most sought-after offerings: Phish's Junta LP, out on vinyl for the first time, and White Stripes single "Hand Springs," which will be packaged with another tune by the now-defunct Detroit garage outfit, "Red Death at 6:14."
Up at metal-heavy Armageddon Shop on Broadway in Providence, owner Ben Barnett tells me the store will be selling an LP from Massachusetts band Elder on the store's new label, Armageddon Shop Records.
The record will come with a highly-stylized wraparound from local artist Fred Struckholz — two figures, one seen from the back, one prone and holding a torch aloft. Just the sort of extra that gets record-store regulars in a tizzy.
The shop will also sponsor a DIY Armageddon t-shirt contest — walk in with your own hand-drawn ode to the shop, and if you come out on top, you'll get a gift certificate and your design might become part of Armageddon's official swag.
Over at Olympic, the nine-month-old shop on Wickenden, Morosini says he'll be curating his own Record Store Day line-up: a 12" from Animal Collective, a 7" from M83, and a 7" from Beach House, among the highlights.
But Morosoni, a pleasant character with long hair, tattooed arms, and shiny blue earrings, says Record Store Day — with its emphasis on rarities, on discovery — is in many ways just a peek at what makes record stores so appealing on, well, any day.
"Buying records, there is always the unknown," he says. "Something might come out Tuesday, and then it's never printed again."

So this is about the face wash only. I mean nothing way special about this. It smells like just about any aveda product out there which some like and some hate. The only thing I didn't like about it is that it was very runny. I tipped it over to put some in my hand and almost the entire sample came out. Other than that if say it's a normal face wash3
I must say I was hesitant at first buying a set of products, I worried about the quality for some reason.
Let me tell you I would recommend these products to anyone. The body wash has a great smell to it as does the moisturizer. Small complaint would be the face wash doesn't lather enough for me. Overall, it is a must buy.

Irish whiskey came out tops, but the New Zealand whiskeys were big sellers. They say (whoever they are) that all whisky is good but some are great, and I was reminded of that axiom last week at a tasting in Auckland.
It was a competitive tasting, meaning that whiskies were pitted against one another on an individual basis, and the audience then voted on which they preferred, before also voting on the best overall selection.
The competition this time was between New Zealand whisky (of which I am a confirmed fan) and Irish whiskey, which is what I grew up on, so there was something of a split in my loyalties between my adopted home and my country of my birth.
I was presenting the case for the Irish side and I really couldn't have had a better trio of whiskeys to present for tasting. Black Bush was my first choice and it went down like a dinner with the assembled throng. It is matured in sherry and Bourbon casks, which impart a lovely creamy richness and fruitiness to the whiskey. It's the whiskey I always recommend for less-experienced whiskey drinkers, as it's immediately appealing and once tasted will always remain a favourite.
I followed that up with the Jameson 18-year-old reserve, a whiskey of such elegance, grace and sheer class that it could be a close relative of Stephen Fry. It's old, mellow and, like all Irish whiskeys, has a beautifully sweet heart, enhanced by the spicy oak notes.
I finished my offering with a rare but exquisite example of Irish whiskey - Redbreast 12-year-old cask strength. At 57.7 per cent alcohol, you'd expect it to be fiery and overpowering, but it is amazingly smooth and drinkable, once again displaying that sweetness at its heart, but this time wrapped in forthright layers of oak, dried fruit, spice and herb notes.
You'd think that such a line-up would win by a walkover, but the resistance was encouragingly strong. The New Zealand Whisky Company's trio of 10-year-old Double Wood, South Island 21-year-old and the 1993 single cask provided a lovely counterpoint to the Irish whiskeys. They were more Scottish in style and had a definite echo of the Highlands about them.
I'm delighted that the Irish won (although I am reliably informed that more people bought bottles of the New Zealand stuff afterwards), but I'm a bit ambivalent about competitive tastings. I don't necessarily think that people should be encouraged to celebrate one whisky at the expense of another.
As those who were there on the night discovered, there is plenty of truth to old sayings and I can happily report that there was no bad whisk(e)y to be had at all.
If you're not a whisky drinker, you are denying yourself a world of wonder. Whisky tastings are the easiest way to discover which style you like best. Go find one.

Misfits, one of E4's (Channel 4's hip channel) new flagship comedy shows, has opened to pretty good success and acclaim this week. Early reckoning shows that the show drew in about 0.5 million viewers which ain't half bad!
It's about 5 chaps and chapettes who for some reason are struck by lightning and become endowed with super powers. Uh-huh. So, kinda like Heroes, a bit. We have a time-traveller and a mind-reader amongst others – which is all good. Actually, it's pretty good yunno – it's funny in all the right places, doesn't take cheap swipes at the superhero genre and actually is very entertaining. Just one thing I would mention is that it's definitely not for young uns – hence the 10pm post-watershed billing.

Distinguished faculty honored at University Life Awards
By Anne Englert
Assistant Director of Student Relations, Office of Alumni Programs
(April 28, 2008)--Lila Flory-Truett, UTSA professor of economics, and Jerri D. Mitchell, UTSA lecturer II in the Department of History, were awarded Distinguished Faculty Teaching Awards by the UTSA Alumni Association. The awards were established to recognize faculty members for excellence in teaching.
Nominations were solicited from students and the selection committee were members of the UTSA Student Alumni Association. Sponsored by the Student Government Association, the awards were presented at the University Life Awards ceremony on April 3.

Lila Flory-Truett uses real-world examples, many from her own life experiences, to bring the theoretical world of complex managerial economics into a more practical light. She makes economics intriguing by showing how elegant mathematical formulae can affect the U.S. economy.
According to her nominator, he gives 110 percent in her classes because Truett "expects high-quality work and encourages us to be powerful and influential businesspeople. She is a strong contributor to economics research and a strong contributor in the classroom. Dr. Truett is one who makes up the heart of UTSA and we need more professors like her to mentor and inspire students."
Jerri D. Mitchell is described by her nominator as someone who "possesses exceptional qualities that makes learning a labor of love." She sets clear expectations for her students and provides relevant readings to make history interesting. Her pyramid method of teaching begins with laying a cornerstone, building a foundation and then pushing students to more difficult skill levels while guiding them every step of the way. The nominating student, who entered college at age 40, will graduate with honors and plans to teach after graduate school. Mitchell inspired her and helped her learn to believe in herself.
Both award recipients received a $500 gift from the UTSA Alumni Association.

State Girls Basketball: Notre Dame wins, New London's streak ends in D-2 semifinals
Notre Dame (21-6) used a strong first half to build an insurmountable lead and move into the Division 2 championship final with 61-35 win over Milton (19-8).
Already leading at the end of the first period 17-7, the Tritons dominated the second quarter, outscoring the Red Hawks 19-2 in the period to lead 36-9 at the half. The Triton defense held the Red Hawks to 2-of-21 shooting in the half and forced eight turnovers.
The Tritons continued to impose its will in the second half, building a 34-point cushion in the third quarter and as much as a 39-point advantage in the fourth quarter before the Red Hawks closed the gap when the result was no longer in doubt.
The Tritons' balanced scoring attack was led by Allison LeClaire with 14 points. Eliza Campbell and Brianna Byrne chipped in with 13 and 12 points, respectively. Milton was led by Elizabeth Westrick's 16. points.
Also in Division 2, the New London Bulldogs saw their 68-game win streak come to an end on Friday at the hands of the team they defeated last year for the state championship.
New Berlin Eisenhower (25-2) ended the run of two-time defending champion New London (26-1) with a thrilling 48-47 victory in a rematch of the teams that met in last year's State final.
Erin Ganzke made a lay-up, was fouled, and converted a free throw with seven seconds remaining to give the Lions the one-point advantage. A last-second attempt by the Bulldogs off an in-bounds play caromed off to end the game.
The Bulldogs went on a 10-0 run in the first period to gain the early advantage and led 14-7 at the end of the quarter. New London added to its lead in the second quarter and led by 15 at the 5:50 mark. The Lions battled back with a 13-0 run to end the half and go into the locker room trailing 21-19.
Both teams struggled to put the ball in the basket early in the second half. New Berlin Eisenhower scored the first four points of to take a 23-21 lead. Neither team took control of the game in the third quarter with no lead greater than two points. That trend continued throughout the fourth period as the lead went back-and-forth. The lead changed hands 11 times in the game with an additional 10 ties.
Jenny Weiland led the Lions with 17 points and Ganzke added 16. New London was led by Brenna Heise with 19 points
