SARATOGA — It was nothing short of a dominating performance for senior Kelley Driscoll who took home the individual crown at the RPI Opener with a first-place finish in a time of 18:27.9 on Saturday morning. Held at Saratoga State Park, the meet was the first of the 2013 campaign for the Cardinals.
The two-time All-NCAA Atlantic Region honoree finished almost 35 seconds ahead of fellow Plattsburgh State competitor Katie Ehmann who was clocked at a second-place time of 19:02.2 over the 3.04-mile course.
Thanks to their strong one-two punch, the Cardinals captured a second-place team finish at the meet with 49 points. Oneonta State accumulated just 30 points and placed five runners in the top ten to earn the team championship.
Joining her upperclassmen teammates in the top ten was sophomore Megan Schweizer who crossed the finish line in ninth place with a time of 20:02.4.
A trio of freshmen was the next point-producing gang that finished the course for the Cardinals. Melanie Taylor recorded a 31st-place finish in her first college race with a time of 21:03.8. Close behind Taylor was Michelle Collins who traveled the course in 21:16.4 which was good for 33rd place. Lauren Perschetz rounded out the freshman trio with a 35th-place time of 21:27.0.
Kristin Schnalzer was the final point-producing finisher boasted by Plattsburgh State. The first-year runner finished the course in 41st-place time of 21:41.5.
With their 2013 season opener in the books, the Cardinals head back to Plattsburgh to take part in their only home meet of the season. The Cardinal Classic is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 7, in the Rugar Woods trail system outside the Field House Complex.

Hello everyone! My name is Lyndon Nicholas and I work for an organization called Youth for Understanding. We are a non-profit high school youth exchange program that works with students from over 60 different countries. Currently, we have students in the area still in need of host families, and are looking for families who would like to get involved in our cause. Here are three of our many students waiting to welcome you into their lives.
Max lives in a small town in northern Germany with his parents. Max is interested in trying some of our popular American sports, as he considers himself an athlete. As a young child, Max helped his mother in the kitchen; as a result, one of Max's main interests is cooking and baking - he says that he is excited to prepare a German meal or bake a cake for his American family. In addition to helping in the kitchen, Max enjoys earning his keep by helping his Dad with home repairs. Max loves learning languages; he feels they are very important. Besides learning English, he has taken Russian and French classes. Max and his family used to live in Russia, so Max knows what it is like to be the new kid on the block and is ready for it again. He is fascinated by American culture and hopes to see a lot of the diverse American landscape!
Laura, who likes to be called Marie (her middle name), is an active girl involved in dance and school activities. She is in a couple of different dance groups. Other musical activities include playing the piano, guitar and recorder. She is an avid volleyball player and would like to continue that while on exchange. She is involved in political activities at the school which she really enjoys. Marie was on a school exchange to France and she says that is where her interest in exchange really began. Her goal is to learn the different culture and lifestyle of the United States. Marie wants to improve her English and develop her character. She enjoys meeting new people and she is ready to deal with the challenges and cope with everything that happens. She writes, "I would like to say thank you for thinking about taking me as your exchange student, and maybe we will see us soon!"
A future architect, willing to prepare lasagna and "bee sting" cake for you, Katharina from Germany is anxious to begin her adventure in the United States. Described by her teacher as helpful, adaptable, tolerant, open-minded, and social, she will not only be a good student, but a wonderful addition to your family. At home, Katharina assists with her younger siblings around the home where needed. She values time with her family and can be found on weekends and holidays traveling and spending time with her family hiking, skiing, playing games or watching videos. She has a cousin who lives in the US who has created great interest in American culture. Academic interests for Katharina include Math, history and English. Outside of school you can find her performing artistic gymnastics, playing her clarinet, playing volleyball, snowboarding, reading, or hanging out with her friends. A well-traveled young lady, Katharina has traveled to Italy, England, Greece and most of the countries bordering Germany. Thankful for this opportunity to be a YFU exchange student, she states, "I really appreciate your willingness to host me."
Max, Laura, and Katharina are just three of many YFU students looking for host families for the upcoming school year! Interested in hosting one of our students or just want some more information about our many programs? Feel free to contact us! You can reach me either by phone at (617) 868 3660 ext: 1106 or by email at email@example.com. Hope to hear from you soon, a once in a lifetime opportunity is waiting!

The dog had undergone a laparotomy at Rowley Memorial Animal Hospital in Springfield, Mass., five months before presentation.
During the surgery, an adrenal and a liver mass were excised. Histologic examination revealed that the masses were an adrenocortical
adenoma and a well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma and that hepatocellular swelling with lymphohistiocytic and eosinophilic
inflammation was present. The prognosis for the liver mass was considered good because hepatocellular carcinomas rarely metastasize
and the histology report stated that complete removal is often curative. At that time, there was no serologic evidence of
hyperadrenocorticism, thus the adrenocortical adenoma was considered nonfunctional.
Several weeks later, the owner had moved to Colorado. After the move, the dog became blind and was presented to a veterinarian
who started treatment with oral prednisolone (5 mg every day) and continued the topical prednisolone drops. The dog was referred
to the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for further evaluation.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- NATO's top military commander says an investigation into this week's Quran burnings at a U.S. base in Afghanistan is pushing ahead and called on Afghans to be patient and exercise restraint.
U.S. Gen. John Allen said in a statement Friday that NATO and Afghan leaders are working together to insure such an incident is not repeated.
Afghan security forces are on high alert to deal with expected demonstrations around the country after Friday prayers.
The country has been wracked by three days of violence that has claimed 13 lives, including two U.S. soldiers over the burnings of the Muslim holy book.
Allen says a joint NATO and Afghan investigation is continuing.

Each year, during the annual property tax sales that Madison and St. Clair counties conduct, investors buy the right to pay residents' unpaid property taxes. The investors make money by charging a penalty to the property owners. If the property owner doesn't pay the taxes and the penalty, the investor can take the property.
In most counties, the tax bills are sold in a reverse auction, where the investor offering to take the lowest penalty rate is the winning bidder. However, witnesses say Fred Bathon - who stepped down as Madison County treasurer in December - conducted the tax sale like a bid opening, where investors were not allowed to undercut each other or "bid down" the penalty percentage.
All the bidders would shout an opening bid; the one who shouted the lowest bid first was the winner.
In the last three years of Bathon's tenure, the average penalty rate was 17 percent, 18 percent and 18 percent. At the auction held in March, under new Treasurer Frank Miles, the average fell to 9 percent.
At Madison County's auction in 2008, where 2,568 tax bills were sold, the winning bid was 18 percent on all but eight pieces of property.

The NHL and NHL Players Association met Sunday, but only briefly and little was accomplished.
The collective bargaining session, held at the NHL's offices in Manhattan, broke up after only an hour. Both sides agreed on one thing: little or no progress was made in the meeting.
Donald Fehr, executive director of the NHLPA, was blunt in his assessment, telling reporters he did not "see a path to an agreement" on a CBA. Fehr said the two sides could meet again Monday in Toronto.
The league and union held lengthy CBA negotiations Tuesday through Friday in an attempt to end the NHL lockout and get a season started. There was an informal luncheon on Saturday involving NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr.
Sunday's formal meeting centered on contracting issues. Fehr claimed the league is not willing to budge on any of its contract demands, and said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has said the two sides were "past the point of give-and-take."
Daly later disputed that claim, saying the league has been willing to compromise on 14 of 17 contracting concerns.
The league has proposed limiting contracts to five years and ending front-loaded contracts. The NHL wants unrestricted free agency to begin at age 28 or after eight years of service (it was 27 and seven years under the old CBA.)
Sunday marked the 57th day of the lockout. The league has cancelled 327 games, including the 2013 Winter Classic on New Year's Day.

However, the record also has several great songs that stray from this idea, such as "The Beginning and the End". In fact, it's the first entry since "Untouchable Pt.

Rio Conference Favors Economic Development Over Environmental Justice, International Law Experts Say
June 29, 2012
Speaking at Vermont Law School where they recently spent two weeks at the Environmental Law Center's Summer Session, two of the world's most renowned international environmental law experts expressed their disappointment with the recent the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development.
Shelton, who has been at the forefront in developing a rights-based approach to international environmental law and was on campus to teach Human Rights and the Environment, said the conference's final document, called "The Future We Want," includes almost nothing on corporate responsibility, human rights, indigenous peoples or environmental justice.
Weiss, Vermont Law School's Distinguished International Environmental Law Scholar in Residence, contrasted the positive leadership role that national governments played at the historic Earth Summit in Rio in 1992 with their weak performance at Rio+20.
"It was a tremendous missed opportunity," Weiss said.
Notably, the summit reflected the growing capacity of grassroots organizations and state and local governments to take economic and environmental action without the approval of national governments, said Weiss and Shelton, whose visit to VLS was overseen by Professor Stephanie Farrior, VLS's director of International and Comparative Law Programs.
"The reaction to Rio (in terms of motivating and empowering NGOs and local governments) could be more important than the Rio summit itself," Shelton said.

Tudor's take
It's not so much about the game, or even the opponent.
This one is all about what's going on inside Duke's helmets. The Blue Devils have more talent, and preparing a defense to face Army is as simple as college football game-planning can possibly get: Stop the run.
Infinitely more important is the status of Duke's ego. After last week's panic against Richmond in Durham, there's evidence not all that much has changed on the confidence front with David Cutcliffle's arrival.
If Duke can't win this one, we can forget that 4-0 (now 3-1) September song. It'll be 1-3, followed by Virginia Tech, followed by "Singler on the wing, dribbles left, looks inside to Thomas. He's covered. Swings it back to Scheyer at top of the key behind a Plumlee screen. Three on the way!" Duke, 23-21.
Bounce back?
After drawing their largest home crowd since 2001, the Blue Devils head on the road to Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y. They hold a 10-9-1 overall record against the Black Knights and won 20-17 the last time the teams met, in 1997.
The Devils look to rebound from an uninspired performance in their season-opening 24-16 loss against Richmond, after which coach David Cutcliffe said his team never played with competitive zeal or consistency.
Trouble kicking
In their first game, the Devils had a punt blocked, and junior kicker Nick Maggio missed field-goal attempts from 38 and 36 yards. To open the season, he was listed with junior Will Snyderwine as a starter. Cutcliffe said this week that the two will share duties until he makes a decision otherwise.
Player to watch
Ali Villanueva
Army, senior, WR, 283, 6-10
Duke cornerbacks and safeties may have their hands full defending a player at least a foot taller than the Blue Devils' starters. During his first two seasons, Villanueva played on the defensive line.
He was moved to the offensive line last season, and this spring he was moved outside to the receiver position. He started in Army's opener but does not have a career catch.

With tropical storm Sandy bearing down on the eastern United States, Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino has urged residents to prepare for possible strong winds, flooding and other dangerous conditions.
"All relevant county departments are preparing in case this storm seriously impacts us," Astorino said in a statement. "We hope we will not be severely affected by Sandy, but we must be prepared."
The latest projections from the National Weather Service have Hurricane Sandy heading north early next week, possibly hitting the Northeast Monday into Tuesday. Astorino said Thursday the county's office of emergency management will partially staff the Emergency Operations Center through the weekend. The staff will monitor the storm through the weekend, Astorino said.
Eleven county departments are already making preparations for next week, Astorino said.
The county executive offered the following tips for residents as they prepare for the possible impact of the storm.
- Have a plan – A family emergency plan should include deciding where to go in the event you have to leave your home. Check in with family members that have special needs. Don't forget to make plans as well as your pets.
- Make a kit – specifically, a go-bag for use in an evacuation and a household disaster kit to enable a family to survive at home for several days without electricity. Suggestions for items to include in each can also be found on the county's web site.
- Stay informed – Keep up-to-date on the progress of any storm and the protective actions being recommended by government agencies in response.
- Check on supplies – Make sure you have flashlights and batteries on hand as well as at least a three-day supply of water and non-perishable foods.
- Make sure to have an ample supply of any medications you may be taking.
- Print out a list of important phone numbers.
- Residents with oil tanks should top off their tanks and tighten the cap to prevent spills. Above-ground tanks should also be strapped to a secure fixture to prevent tipping in case of flooding or powerful winds.
- If the power fails, keep your refrigerator closed as much as possible to keep food from spoiling.
- If you lose power, call Con Edison or New York State Electric & Gas directly. The phone numbers are: Con Ed power outage or gas and electrical service problems: (800) 75-CONED; NYSEG electricity power outage: (800) 572-1131; NYSEG gas power outage: (800) 572-1121.
- Secure or put away any items outside your home that could be blown away or damaged by high winds.
- Residents looking for further non-emergency information should call 2-1-1. United Way's 2-1-1 helpline offers information about shelters, evacuation routes, road closures, recovery services, power outages, donations, volunteer opportunities, and other disaster-related services. Call specialists can communicate with callers in more than 250 languages. The line is available from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week with expanded hours possible during emergencies.

Behavior, temperament and beef cattle performance
A study was conducted to evaluate variation in feeding behavior and temperament of beef cattle sired by Angus, Charolais, or Hybrid bulls and their associations with performance, efficiency, and carcass merit. The behavior traits were daily feeding duration (FD), feeding head down (HD) time, feeding frequency (FF), and flight speed (FS, as a measure of temperament). A pedigree file of 813 animals forming 28 paternal half-sib families with about 20 progeny per sire was used. Performance, feeding behavior and efficiency records were available on 464 animals of which 381 and 302 had records on carcass merit and flight speed, respectively. Large standard errors reflect the number of animals used. Direct heritability estimates were 0.28 ± 0.12 for FD, 0.33 ± 0.12 for HD, 0.38 ± 0.13 for FF, and 0.49 ± 0.18 for FS. Feeding duration had a weak positive genetic (rg) correlation with HD (rg = 0.25 ± 0.32) and FS (rg = 0.42 ± 0.26), but a moderate negative genetic correlation with FF (rg = -0.40 ± 0.30). Feeding duration had positive phenotypic (rp) and genetic correlations with DMI (rp = 0.27; rg = 0.56 ± 0.20) and residual feed intake (RFI; rp = 0.49; rg = 0.57 ± 0.28), but was unrelated phenotypically with feed conversion ratio (FCR). Feeding duration was negatively correlated with FCR (rg = -0.25 ± 0.29). Feeding frequency had a moderate to high negative genetic correlation with DMI (rg = -0.74 ± 0.15), FCR (rg = -0.52 ± 0.21), and RFI (rg = -0.77 ± 0.21). Flight speed was negatively correlated phenotypically with DMI (rp = -0.35) but was unrelated phenotypically with FCR or RFI. On the other hand, FS had a weak negative genetic correlation with DMI (rg = -0.11 ± 0.26), a moderate genetic correlation with FCR (rg = 0.40 ± 0.26), and a negative genetic correlation with RFI (rg = -0.59 ± 0.45). The results indicate that behavior traits may contribute to the variation in efficiency of beef cattle and there are potential correlated responses to selection to improve efficiency. Feeding behavior and temperament may need to be included in the definition of beef cattle breeding goals, and approaches such as the culling of unmanageable cattle and the introduction of correct handling facilities or early life provision of appropriate experiences to improve handling will be useful.

2007 Texas Tech survey of feedlot consulting nutritionists
Forty-two consulting feedlot nutritionists were asked to participate in a survey regarding nutritional recommendations for feedlot cattle. Eleven nutritionists either chose not to participate or did not reply to our request. Thirty-one nutritionists agreed to participate, and 29 completed the survey. Their practices are located in the following states: TX, KS, and OK (46.43%); IA, NE, CO, and SD (31.25%); WA and ID (8.93%); AZ and CA (6.25%); and other states (7.14%). The survey was conducted using a web-based system and included 74 questions divided into sections that covered: general information about the nutritionist's practice (n = 8 questions); commodity information (n = 13); use of grain coproducts (n = 5); information regarding roughage sources and levels (n = 4); methods used to adapt cattle to finishing diets (n = 3); information about supplements and micro-nutrients (n = 7); types of feed mixers (n = 2) and feed mills (n = 1) used by clients; feeding (n = 1) and cattle management (n = 5); liquid feeds (n = 7); recommendations for nutrient formulation (n = 15); information resources used as the basis for nutritional recommendations (n = 2); and perceived needs for additional information on items or nutrients not addressed in the survey. With respect to nutrient formulation practices, results indicated that recommended concentrations of major nutrients and trace minerals typically fell within a range of 1 to 2 times the NRC (2000) recommendations for beef cattle; however, some important aspects of the NRC models (e.g., formulation for degradable intake protein) were not applied by the majority of respondents. Data from this survey provide a snapshot of practices used by feedlot nutritionists and should aid in development of future National Research Council models and recommendations.

Protection against experimental BVD type 2 with modified-live vaccine
A study was conducted to evaluate protection resulting from use of a modified-live noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 1 vaccine against systemic infection and clinical disease in calves challenged with type 2 BVDV. Calves were allocated (n = 5/group) to be nonvaccinated or vaccinated SC on day 0 with BVDV 1 (WRL strain). Calves in both groups were challenged intranasally with BVDV type 2 isolate 890 on day 21. Rectal temperatures and clinical signs of disease were recorded daily, and total and differential WBC and platelet counts were performed. Histologic examinations and immunohistochemical analyses to detect lesions and distribution of viral antigens, respectively, were performed. After challenge exposure to BVDV type 2, nonvaccinated calves developed high rectal temperatures, increased respiratory rates, viremia, leukopenia, lymphopenia, and infection of the thymus. Vaccinated calves did not develop high rectal temperatures or clinical signs of respiratory tract disease. Vaccinated calves appeared to be protected against systemic replication of virus in that they did not develop leukopenia, lymphopenia, viremia, or infection of target organs, and infectious virus was not detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells or the thymus. The modified-live BVDV type 1 vaccine protected against systemic infection and disease after experimental challenge exposure with BVDV type 2. The vaccine protected calves against infection and viremia and prevented infection of target lymphoid cells.

BRD: phenotypic, environmental, and genetic correlations with performance
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most costly feedlot disease in the United States. Selection for disease resistance is one of several possible interventions to prevent or reduce the economic loss associated with animal disease and to improve animal welfare. Undesirable genetic relationships, however, may exist between production and disease resistance traits. The objectives of this study were to estimate the phenotypic, environmental, and genetic correlations of BRD with growth, carcass, and LM palatability traits. Health records on 18,112 feedlot cattle over a 15-yr period and slaughter data on 1,627 steers over a 4-yr period were analyzed with bivariate animal models. Traits included ADG, adjusted carcass fat thickness at the 12th rib, marbling score, LM area, weight of retail cuts, weight of fat trim, bone weight, Warner-Bratzler shear force, tenderness score, and juiciness score. The estimated heritability of BRD incidence was 0.08 ± 0.01. Phenotypic, environmental, and genetic correlations of the observed traits with BRD ranged from –0.35 to 0.40, –0.36 to 0.55, and –0.42 to 0.20, respectively. Most correlations were low or negligible. The percentage of carcass bone had moderate genetic, phenotypic, and environmental correlations with BRD (–0.42, –0.35, and –0.36, respectively). Hot carcass weight and weight of retail cuts had moderate, undesirable phenotypic correlations with BRD (0.37 and 0.40, respectively). Correlations of BRD with LM palatability and ADG were not detected. Low or near zero estimates of genetic correlations infer that selection to reduce BRD in feedlot cattle would have negligible correlated responses on growth, carcass, and meat palatability traits or that selection for those traits will have little effect on BRD susceptibility or resistance.

Sorelle Friedler, presently visiting, has accepted an offer to remain in the Computer Science Department at Haverford as an assistant professor.
During a weekend marathon in Founders Hall, Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore students had 48 hours to develop and present their innovative ideas for technology. A language-learning app took top prize in the contest.
The two schools are launching a new program that will allow students to obtain their Bachelor of Science in four years at Haverford and their Master of Science in Engineering at Penn with just one additional year of study.
The annual SIGCSE conference, this year held in Atlanta, explores pedagogy, tools and research to prepare students in an evolving world of technology. With about 1,300 attendees, it is the largest and most prominent symposium in the field.
In Remaking College: Innovation in the Liberal Arts, Haverford College President Dan Weiss and President Rebecca Chopp of Swarthmore argue that no approach better prepares students for life after graduation, whatever path they follow.
We have 5 Nexus 7 tablets available for borrowing at the front desk in Magill and several at the Science Library. The tablets in Magill come with Bluetooth keyboards for those who find a keyboard easier to use.

The good: With a slim, MacBook-Air-like design at a reasonable price, the Acer Aspire S3 is an example of how the Ultrabook laptop category can work if done right.
The bad: The construction is a step below superpremium, connectivity is limited, and battery life is on the low side of acceptable.
The bottom line: The Acer Aspire S3 is the closest you can get to the look and feel of a MacBook Air for less than $1,000, but it requires a few compromises.

Summary: I bought Acer desktop and laptop before as the price is cheaper compared to other brands but my laptop had hard ware problem after one year warranty and quoted repair cost is higher than my purchased price of my laptop I rejected the repair quotation and i discarded my acer laptop after 1 year as it is more worth it to buy a new laptop than to repair it. and purchased a more expensive HP and it had no problem at all after 3 years usage. After my bad experience with Acer I will not buy Acer products anymore although it is cheaper as the life span of the product is too short . Acer products is not recommended anyway if you ask me
Sticky Keys, Battery life is not as rated
by RickLines on December 19, 2011
Pros: cheaper than a Macbook Air
Cons: This battery lasts 3.5 hours at the most. The ONLY way I could see it lasting 7 hours is if you turned it down so dim that you couldn't see it. For normal operation, this battery is only good for 3.5 hours.
Summary: The keys are sticky, the space bar is sticky. Navigation is not as smooth as a macbook air. Battery life is not what it is advertised.

Our Acer is a lemon.
by bhollencnet on November 11, 2011
Pros: Beautiful screen, when it works, which has been less than half of the time we've owned it.
Cons: Acer won't stand by it's product or service. We got a lemon and they won't honor the warranty because it broke 5 days after the warranty expired. We spent $200 to have it fixed, and it broke again, less than 4 months later. They want to charge us another

The long drought is over for the USA.
Driver Steve Holcomb and brakeman Steve Langton — the latter a former St. John's Prep track star — took the bronze medal at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, yesterday in the two-man bobsled event. It marked the first time in 62 years that an American team medaled in this event.
"Tonight I lived my dream," tweeted Langton. "Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed. This incredible journey would not have been possible without you."
After the first two runs on the Sanki Ice Center course Sunday, Holcomb and Langton (USA 1) were in third place and able to maintain that position yesterday in the last two runs on a foggy, damp night.
Alexander Zubkov and Alexey Voevoda of Russia won gold with a combined time on the four runs of 3:45.31 and set a track record on the third run. The Swiss team of driver Beat Hefti and Alex Baumann took silver in 3:46.05, while USA 1 was third in 3:46.27, holding off the second Russian sled by 0.03 of a second (3:46.30).
Holcomb, who won gold in Vancouver four years ago in the four-man bobsled, will be back in action and favored to win gold with Langton and fellow USA teammates Chris Fogt and Curt Tomasevicz Saturday and Sunday in one of the final events of the Games.
"What Holcomb has done is unbelievable for the sport," USA 3 pilot Nick Cunningham told reporters. "He's put USA bobsled on the international map."
Holcomb has called Langton, a Melrose native, the best push man in the world.
The United States now has won four sliding medals at the 2014 Olympics after combining for three total between men and women at the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy, and the 2010 Games in Vancouver.

The 1.0 GPM aerator has a gentle needle spray (laminar) which makes it easy to wash your hands despite the low flow. The laminar multiple stream non-aerating spray widens for efficient rinsing with less water and provides less heat loss and more energy savings than aerated single stream faucet aerators that mix air and water.
To install it, simply unscrew your current aerator (by hand, or if it's tight, use vise-grips or channel-lock pliers). Feel inside the faucet with your finger to make sure the old o-ring isn't stuck there. Screw on the new aerator by hand. If it leaks a bit, use the vise-grips to tighten it a bit more, or put some plumbing/flux tape over the threads and retighten again.
Features & Benefits
- this is a 2-pack, so you can do both your bathrooms
- has a low profile, so it won`t get in your way
- fits most faucets - has 15/16 x 27 threads on the outside (male), and 55/64 x 27 threads inside the lip (female)

- 10-year guarantee
- made of chrome-plated brass, so it will look good in any bathroom
- Flow control construction of long-lasting Celcon plastic
- Meets or exceeds ASME standards
- California Energy Commission-certified
- Member of the WaterSmart family of products
The most common size: Dual Standard Thread:
- 15/16 x 27 male threads (on the outside)

Questions about the Low Flow Faucet Aerator (2-pack) - 1.0 GPM
1 Item(s)
- From Halifax at 6/10/12 7:40 AM
- What is the average flow of an existing tap? ie how much water a year do these save? Thanks
- Unrestricted taps on average discharge 15 to 18 litres per minute compared with low-flow and aerating models which use as little as 2 litres per minute depending on the flow rate.
In general, taps with an aerator or flow restrictor may reduce flow to less than a third of standard taps.

For all you cowboys and cowgirls 40 or older, there is a group trying to see if there is enough interest in the Senior-Pro Rodeo Association to try and get it restarted.
The schedule would be limited to only four to six rodeos a year. Events would include barrels (4-D format), breakaway roping, tie down roping, and team roping. Age groups that have been discussed are 40 to 55, 55 and over, maybe a 65 and over breakaway. The team roping would be a draw pot. If you are interested in re-establishing the SPRA, please contact Jim James at (405) 409--7474.
Once again, we have an event-filled weekend. It starts off tonight with team roping practice from 6-7:30 p.m. at Rangeline Arena. The practice will be $20 per horse, followed by a #12 slide, pick one draw two or draw all three at $50 a roper. You can enter up to three times. Be entered by 7:50 in order to rope in the jackpot at 8 p.m. On Saturday night Rangeline will offer a #10 with a #8 incentive, pick one draw one at $40 a roper, enter up to five times. Books open at 7 p.m. and rope at 8 p.m. For more information on Rangeline events contact Rick Hubler at (918) 557-9951.
Barton Arena Productions will be back on Saturday this week at the Poteau arena with a saddle and prize drawpot. They will have a #10 with a #8 Incentive, capped at 6E. You can enter one draw one for $40 or draw both. There will be a $20 saddle fee required. They will give either a saddle certificate or cash pot to the high money winner and trophy halters to high money header and heeler. Books open at 5:30 and close at 6:30. Please note the new earlier start time.
Last Sunday at the Checotah roping, the Barton roping ended with two teams splitting first and second - Travis Cox and Michael Pettigrew and Eric Bolding and Darren Duvall. Travis and Michael also won the Incentive. The Bartons would like to say thanks to everyone for attending. For more information call or text Bart at (918) 616-9269.
The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo will run Dec. 6-15. The ten performances will be televised nightly on the Great American Country channel, which is 165 on Dish Network or 326 on Direct TV. I contacted Dish and they said it would be aired at 9 p.m. nightly. Please check your local stations for scheduling.
The American Cowboys Rodeo Association will hold their 2012 Finals at the Built Ford Tough Arena at the Tulsa ExpoSquare this weekend. Starting time on Friday and Saturday will be at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday they will run at 1:30 p.m. Tickets will be $14 for adults ($12 in advance) or $30 for all sessions. Seniors and military get a $2 discount. For more information go to their website at www.acrarodeo.com.
Also at Tulsa's ExpoSquare the Tulsa Farm Show will run Thursday through Saturday in the Quik Trip Center. This is always a good show to go see all kinds of equipment and get lots of freebies too, not to mention all the people you get to visit with!
We have many barrel racers in Oklahoma City for the BFA World Championships, which began Tuesday and ends Saturday at Jim Norrick Coliseum at the state fairgrounds at Oklahoma City. Today they will have the second go of the Futurity and Derby and at 5 p.m. they will have the demonstrations of the horses consigned to the sale. For a complete schedule and contact information: www.barrelfuturitiesofamerica.com
Have a safe weekend wherever you run!

METROLINER (con't)
Throughout the trip arrivals are announced several minutes ahead of time. Stops are short - about 2 minutes or less. The seats are full and the customers content. I thought the following survey results were of interest to indicate the profile of people who ride the Metroliner - 70% are men.
Although they claim convenience and the modern equipment is the major factor for the metroliner's success (at least from a percentage of occupied seats viewpoint), I believe there is another very real factor. Many people do not like to fly and given anywhere near a comparable schedule and availability of modern equipment, they will take the ground transportation. I heard several people say this.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the Metroliner. Of course there are always problems to overcome and improvements to be made I was a little disappointed that the conductors and attendants were not more modernly attired, but I guess work-rules prohibited it. They were certainly friendly and courteous and, I suspect, chosen for this service in part because of that. We were 10 minutes late into Newark because of delays due to other train traffic - not bad though, for a two-hour and forty-five minute trip.
Within the past six months two very important editorials appeared in REPORT. These were "Editorial" by Jerry Windle in July, 1970 and "At The Crossroads" by Dave Parkinson in August, 1970. I encourage all members to please re-read both articles. The expressed concern and insight into PSRMA as an organization is just as relevant today, if not more so, than in the Summer of 1970.
With these commentaries in mind I wish to reiterate the goals of the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum Association. This is especially important for the benefit of new members and it will jog the older members, least they forget.
Our purpose is the establishment of a public museum of railroading and urban rail transport,within San Diego County, California. This museum is dedicated to and actively engaged in the preservation, restoration and operation of steam, diesel, and electric locomotives, streetcars and all of the other related equipment and items representing the rich railroading heritage of the United States.
As presently envisioned this public museum will include the following as a minimum:
1. A full sized, standard gauge railroad track, one mile or more in length, upon which the restored railroad and trolley equipment will be operated.
2. An outdoor display area, featuring examples of railway locomotives, railway cars, trolleys and other equipment.
3. An indoor museum, to house and display many small artifacts of railroad history and to contain the museum library. Association office, bookstore and meeting rooms.
4. An 1880-1900 era railway station, if possible an actual depot building acquired and moved to the museum site.
5. An all weather equipment maintenance and restoration facility. Equipped with an overhead crane, wheel drop pit, machine shop, wood and paint shops.
The museum will not be a cobwebbed collection of rusting machinery but will be an operating museum where the sound of escaping steam, the smell of hot oil, and a sparking trolley will be more than a reminiscent dream. Here operating equipment can be watched, listened to, and ridden upon. The museum will offer a significant educational experience for this youth and adults of this and future generations Additionally, it should most certainly develop into a major tourist attraction for Southern California, which would assure its future and help underwrite continued growth.
In order to acheive this worthwhile, yet difficult mission our Association must move full steam ahead in four areas.
1. Raise funds in the tens-of-thousands of dollars
2. Acquire real property and begin its Immediate development
3. Increase the membership and develop more individual participation and involvement.
4. Accelerate projects to preserve and restore presently owned equipment.
The Association is well qualified for the undertaking. We number over one-hundred-and-forty members. Each of us is bound together by a common interest in the history and development of American railroads. We are dedicated individuals pledged to a singular purpose.
Now, having seen PSRMA's aspirations and problems side-by-side, what conclusions can we draw? Have we embarked upon an impossible journey? I think not! The pyramids were built, the Panama Canal was dug, World War II was won, and the Moon has been trod upon....By these precedents, hard work and a total commitment by one-hundred percent of PSRMA's membership, we will have the best rail museum anywhere. PSRMA shall prevail!!!
H. Chalmers Kerr, Jr. President, PSRMA
Every well organized and operated museum maintains a catalogue describing its collection. Well, PSRMA has the beginnings of a historically significant collection but to date hasn't a complete description of the many items that have been donated since our foundation several years ago.
In early 1971, a formal questionnaire will be sent out to aid in this task. It is requested that present and past members and friends that have knowledge of PSRMA owned material to please start to get information together. In general, the following data will be needed:
1. What is the item, its history and specification?
2. Who made the donation and when, estimated value?
3. Where is the item located now and its condition?
4. How safely is it stored?
Someday when the permanent museum facilities are constructed all of the outstanding materlal wlll be called in for display. Prior to that, individual projects will be undertaken to restore, maintain and preserve these irreplaceable materials. This needle in the haystack hunt may turn up a lost locomotive, a switch key, an old time table, who knows what. So the challenge is out, hunters and beaters to the field. If you can't wait, call or write H. Chalmers Kerr, Jr.

First off this is my first post, I usually work out for strength and to lose weight but this year I am going to try something that I wanted to do for a long time, power and strength. I haven't been to a gym in all of 2006 as we had a new addition to the family. So I am starting out again from scratch but I do have previous weightlifting experience.
I have started a 12 week strength and power routine where I change my routine every 3 weeks to "shock' my muscles. Program can be found here:
I am about to change my routine and that means I have two questions.
I am changing from regular squats to hack squats with a machine. Do I up the weight when doing the hack squats or do I lower it?? My current squats are at 165lbs. I'm assuming that I will be putting more weight on as it is with a machine but I am wondering what percentage I should be increasing it by (or decreasing if I am assuming wrong).
I am also changing from a flat barbell bench press to a decline barbell bench. My current flat bench is at 175lbs. Again I'm assuming that I will be putting more weight on but I am wondering what percentage I should be increasing it by (or decreasing if I am assuming wrong).
I enter into the fourth week next monday and things are progressing quite well!
Why are you interested in using a machine?
At your current levels I think you should just stick to the basics.
Your squat is obviously lacking since you are benching more than you squat. Why don't you do something simple like WBB1?
For your questions, I'd assume using a machine would require more weight... Or at least higher numbers. Nobody can tell you a percentage. You're going to have to figure this one out on your own.
And a decline bench is usually going to be less weight than a flat.

Forever Goal: Strength
Weightlifting sucks. I just like to lift heavy things.
i agree you are going to have to go by feel if it easy up the wt if its to hard lower it
but the decline bench should be easier therefore more weight
(when powerlifters do a flat bench arch---trying to make it more of a decline bench---therfore easier)
Welcome to the forum. I just joined about three hours ago!
I agree with the above poster...Declines should let you use more weight. Just make sure you have a couple of workouts getting used to the movement before loading up the bar too heavy!
I rarely did declines in my years of lifting. Firstly, they felt kind of awkward to me, and secondly, I felt the lower chest got more than enough work with me doing a lot of dips.
I think declines would be less, a lot less. My decline is **** compared to my flat. Declines are a lot harder I think.. but that's just me. But regardless I agree with chris, just stick to the basics now.
Thanks for the advice guys.
I have a routine put together that includes some machines, I intend on sticking with the program for the 12 weeks as I am really enjoying it and I feel good about how it is going so far.
Again thanks for the advice.
I find the subject of decline/flat kinda wierd. I find i can press an extra 22lbs/10kg on a decline bench but some others tell me they can do less?
I think decline takes your shoulders out of the equation more whether or not this has anything to do with the subject,im not sure. People with stronger shoulders may press more on a flat bench?
As for training,i think you should stick to the basics for a few weeks and in no-time you will gain back your strength. Maybe lift lighter for 10-12 reps for now and help precent injury then go heavy.
Train,train hard.Eat,eat lots and sleep even more.
I had a miniscule tear in my left knee and tears in both upper biceps ( Far enough up for me to think it was an injury in my shoulders )
I know if I keep at it the muscle memoery will come back, I'm not lifting anything real heavy of course, almost afraid to but it will come with time.
Ok, so I was able to increase my weight going from a flat bench to the decline
I found the decline easier than the flat bench.
Flat bench = 175 lbs 5 x 5
Incline bench = 195lbs 5 x 5

New Castle News
An Oil City man is in jail, accused of robbing Edward's Restaurant with a plastic BB gun last night.
The hold-up occurred around 11:40 p.m., just before closing time, according to New Castle police chief Bobby Salem.
New Castle officers, with the help of Neshannock Township police, a short time later arrested 22-year-old Ward W. Wise in connection with the alleged heist. Wise is a former employee of the establishment.
He allegedly made off with about $2,000 in cash, which was later recovered.
Police also arrested the driver of the getaway car.
Reporter Debbie Wachter is working on this developing story and will have complete details on Friday.

NORMAN — Laughter and squeals of excitement escaped the lips of many costumed children Sunday afternoon during First Baptist Church's annual Family Block Party.
Complete with inflatables, a few carnival rides, games, food, music and costume contests, it is the church's seventh year to hold the event outdoors said Clint Taylor, minister of recreation and community outreach.
"We love meeting new families and having a good time out here," Taylor said.
The event is held every year on the Sunday before Halloween and is open to the public. This year the church was able to incorporate their new playground with the festivities as well, which is also open to the public, Taylor said.
"(The event) is just to have a safe environment to be out with your family, introduce them to the church facilities and just to be good neighbors to the community," he said.
There's about 500 to 1,000 people who attend the block party, varying from year to year, Taylor said. The car show has grown over the years as well.
"It started with half of a parking lot," he said. On Sunday, a whole parking lot was dedicated to the car show.
Car owner Alan Ginn brought his 1973 Plymouth Barracuda to show for the third year at the event. Ginn said he bought the car brand new 40 years ago and has the theme song for the car ready at the touch of a button — Heart's "Barracuda".
Whether people were admiring cars, squealing on the rides or laughing at some of the costumes (one man received honorable mention in the costume contest for dressing as a ballerina, complete with a tutu) or just enjoying the warm October weather, the block party seemed to serve its purpose for a day of family fun.

From staff, wire reports
The owners of the 900,000 Alabama vehicles without liability insurance stand a better chance of getting caught starting today.
That's when the state will start enforcing a law designed to crack down on motorists who don't abide by Alabama's mandatory insurance law. It is one of several laws that take effect with the new year.
A new online insurance verification system, overseen by the state Revenue Department, will check insurance companies' records within a few seconds to see if a motorist has insurance. County license plate officials will use it when issuing or renewing a tag. Police will use it when issuing tickets. And the Revenue Department will do random computer checks to find motorists who have dropped their insurance. The new system is the result of a bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur.
Limestone County License Commissioner Greg Tucker served on a committee comprised of licensing officials and representatives from the insurance industry and the Alabama Department of Revenue. His participation on the committee enabled Limestone to become a pilot county for the program.
Tucker previously said while the new law is insurance industry driven, he recognizes the need to protect insured drivers. One of the positives for license officials, he said, is that it will be a Web-based system allowing a variety of state officials to view the information.
The Insurance Research Council estimates that 22 percent of Alabama's more than 4 million private vehicles don't abide by the mandatory insurance law, which is the sixth-highest rate of any state.
Revenue Commissioner Julie Magee said her goal for the new system is to get that figure below 10 percent.
That would be a relief for staffers at the state Insurance Department. "Our number one or number two complaint every year is: I got hit by someone without insurance. Why is this happening?" Chief of Staff Ragan Ingram said.
Under the current law, a motorist can buy insurance when it's time to renew a car tag and get an insurance card to show officials. Then the motorist can quit paying for the insurance after one month, but still have the insurance card to show police if stopped for speeding. With the new system, the police officer can learn the status of the driver's insurance while checking the car tag. Then the officer can write two tickets: one for speeding and one for driving without insurance.
Magee said the cost of driving without insurance can be more expensive than buying insurance. A first offense can result in a fine of up to $500 and subsequent offenses can go up to $1,000. It can also result in suspension of the vehicle's registration. Reinstating it will cost $200 for a first offense and $400 for subsequent offenses.
Magee said Alabama's biggest auto insurance companies, State Farm, Alfa and Allstate, are set for the new system, and 58 of 67 counties were already online by mid-December. She predicted all counties will be operational by today's start date.
She does expect an unintended consequence with implementation. She said a clerk in a tag office will have to verify that the name on a vehicle's title and the name on the liability insurance are the same. She said some people don't change the names on a vehicle title when a family situation changes, and that will cause a problem.
She expects the most frequent example to be where a widow is driving a car still titled in her late husband's name, but she's the one with the liability insurance. In those cases, the widow will need to correct the title to her name. Magee said that will protect the widow later on because the vehicle must be correctly titled if she decides to sell or trade it.
Some of the other new laws taking effect today will:
• Give the state Insurance Department the authority to require the fingerprinting of new insurance agents. Ingram said the aim is to do criminal background checks on new agents like the state already does on new teachers.
• Make it easier for Alabamians who are adopting children in a foreign country. The state Department of Public Health said Alabama residents adopting a child in a foreign country may no longer need to re-adopt the child in Alabama before they can get a Certificate of Foreign Birth. The new law allows the department's registrar of vital statistics to issue a certificate of foreign birth without re-adoption if the parents have several documents, including the certified copy of the child's foreign birth certificate and a certified English translation.
• Try to crack down on human trafficking by requiring bars, strip clubs, airports, train stations, bus stations and some other businesses to post signs notifying people how to contact the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline. The signs are aimed at helping foreign women who are brought into the United States in anticipation of a real job, but then forced into prostitution.

LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 07: Actress Jessica Stroup arrives at the 35th Annual People's Choice Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on January 7, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images for PCA)
Jessica Stroup says she appreciates the challenge of playing someone with a mental disorder.
The 23-year-old actress plays the bipolar Silver on the reincarnation of "90210" on the CW network. The show's second season makes its premiere Tuesday night.
Stroup says she's careful not to play Silver's mood swings too over the top.
She says she did as much research on the disorder as she could because "it's something that touches so many people but isn't really explored."
Stroup says some people "have reached out to me to say they watched and it meant a lot."
Like the original show from the 1990s, "90210" follows a group of teenagers in Beverly Hills.
"90210" will air at 8 p.m. EDT on the CW.

For nearly a quarter and a half, it appeared New Albany was going to give Class 4A No. 1 Columbus East a run for its money on Friday night at Stafford Field.
But after a long touchdown run by Olympian stud running back Markell Jones, East showed why it is the nine-time Hoosier Hills Conference champion.
The Olympians increased its conference winning streak to 44 games with a 48-20 win over the Bulldogs as Jones rushed for 231 yards on 27 carries with two touchdowns.
"That Jones' kid is a freak of nature," New Albany coach Charlie Fields said. "He is such a load. He's a Columbus nightmare. He just kept coming and coming. We just had a hard time tackling Jones. He's just a stud."
After forcing a New Albany three-and-out, the Olympians went on an eight-play, 53-yard drive that was capped off by a 6-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Alex Cowan.
Columbus East senior Maurice Dantzler then picked off a pass by New Albany signal-caller Zach Donan to give the Olympians the ball at the New Albany 25-yard line.
Four plays later, East (5-0, 3-0 HHC) used only four plays to go up 14-0. On third-and-goal, Olympian wide receiver J.T. Voelker caught a 7-yard TD pass from Cowan with 6:25 left in the first quarter.
Instead of putting their tail between their legs, the Bulldogs fought back. On the fourth play of their next possession, senior running back Tuwan Payton raced 70 yards for a touchdown at the 4:28 mark of the opening quarter to pull the Bulldogs within seven points at 14-7.
With 37.3 seconds remaining in the stanza, Donan hit tight end Jared Jones on a play-action pass to tie the score at 14.
A sequence of plays in the middle portion of the second quarter gave East the momentum back.
New Albany punt returner Keaton Stout touched a punt that was rolling in East territory that pushed the ball back to the New Albany 38.
The Bulldogs were then whistled for a delay of game penalty, suffered a 3-yard loss by on a Payton run and committed a false-start infraction that put the ball at their own 25.
Following a Bulldog punt, Jones took the handoff and rushed 64 yards to the end zone with 4:40 left to give East a 21-14 advantage with 4:40 left in the first half.
On the next Olympian series right before halftime, senior running back Christian Wichman made a 24-yard TD scamper with 41.8 seconds remaining in the half to put New Albany up 28-14.
"Halftime came at a good time," Fields said. "When we tied it up 14-14, East said we have a ballgame. They said we've got someone who is going to push us and whose going to challenge us."
The Bulldogs seemed to have calmed down at the start of the second half. On second-and-2 at the East 41, New Albany senior Cameron Mason recovered a Cowan fumble 33 seconds into the third quarter.
Six plays later, Payton had his second touchdown of the night on a 15-yard run at the 9:29 mark of the third. But there was a low snap on the New Albany extra-point attempt and place-kicker Vincent Falcone attempted to pass the ball to a receiver in the end zone, but misfired. The Olympians led 28-20 at that point.
East quickly responded.
The Olympians went on a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard TD run by Jones to extend their lead to 34-20. On the prior play, Cowan hit Voelker with a 31-yard pass to put the ball inside the New Albany 5. East kicker Paul Baker missed the extra-point kick wide right to keep the Olympian lead at 14 points.
"Most of third quarter, we matched [East's intensity] again and then we got tired," Fields said. "We pushed them harder than they've been pushed in their conference for a daggone long time. We made mistakes, but they're a pretty good team."
Wichman had two more touchdown runs to seal the victory for the Olympians. He had a 33-yard TD run with 1:53 left in the third quarter and an 8-yard TD scamper with 7:46 remaining in the regulation.
Payton rushed for 167 yards on 25 carries. New Albany (3-2, 2-1) will host Madison next Friday. The Cubs are 2-3 overall and 0-3 in the HHC after a surprising 13-9 loss to Jennings County on Friday.

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting the range of emotions run from terror to sadness to anger.
I can't get the image of terrified little Kindergarteners out of my head. I tried distracting myself with mundane chores. I tried playing Lego's with my Pre-K and first-grade children. I tried calling friends and family. I finally decided to write. After all, that is what I have been doing since I was in Kindergarten. I write when I am happy and I write when I am sad. But as a parent, you never want to write about this.
I was horrified when I saw the hoards of emails coming across my laptop about school security. Why would everyone be talking about this on a Friday afternoon before Christmas? I started to get that sick feeling in my stomach and quickly checked the news only to have my sick feeling turn to horror. This can't be. I turned to another news source to confirm. It's true. It's evil. It's a world I don't want my children to learn about.
As tears rolled down my face I pictured my daughter sitting in her first-grade classroom. I pictured her laughing, learning and loving her life. I pictured her safe. But then I pictured her confused and scared face when she learns of the little lives lost, lives that had lived only as long as she has. I knew I was going to have to talk to both kids about this horror, if they hadn't heard about it already.
I quickly picked up the phone and called my sister-in-law, a child psychologist, and my network of moms for advice. Most hadn't processed the news yet, but they all had the same thoughts of sadness and remaining calm for their children.
I found many places online to turn to for help as well. My church put out information about talking to children about these kinds of tragedies and the American Psychological Association (APA) has a section under their most viewed category talking about it too. PBS has articles as does the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). And as the days pass more and more organizations will add their names to the list of places to look for help on the subject.
The best advice I got was to do a little dress rehearsal in your head before you chat with your kids. And so I told myself to keep it simple, keep it safe and keep it supportive.
I had to repeat these ideas in my head, all the while wiping the tears from my eyes, keeping the radio off in the car and hoping they hadn't heard about the shooting from their friends.
I trust my children's schools and think they have the right measures in place. I am confident when I drop when off that the school staff will do everything they can to keep my children safe. I have already heard from both children's schools, and will continue the dialogue with them in weeks to come.
But the Tiger Mom in me wanted to jump in the car the moment I heard the news and pick up the kids immediately. I wanted to hold them, tell them I love them and never let them go -- ever.
Suddenly my sadness turned to anger. I asked the question people across the world are asking today, How could this have happened? Who did this to our children? And what can we do to keep the most innocent of our world protected?
Then I decided that was too much to tackle today. Today I was going to mourn the little ones lost and the brave adults who tried to save them. Today I was going to cry and be a parent who is scared for the children of our country.
Tomorrow I will try to make sense of it all. Tomorrow I will try to make a difference but not today. Today is for tears.

Eseutil /M File Dump Mode
Topic Last Modified: 2006-12-04
While the Eseutil file dump mode is often overlooked by administrators, it is an invaluable troubleshooting and diagnostic tool. This mode does not repair or make other changes to files. Its purpose is to provide you with information about the state of the database files. For example, to see if your database has been repaired by using the Eseutil /P command, dump the header using one of the following commands for the private information store:
ESEUTIL /mh x:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv.edb |more
ESEUTIL /mh x:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub.edb |more
In file dump mode, you can:
View header information for the database, streaming database, checkpoint and transaction log files.
View header information for individual database pages.
Validate that a series of transaction log files forms a matched set and that all files are undamaged.
View space allocation inside the database and streaming database files.
View metadata for all tables or for a specific table in the database file.
For more information about syntax and about running Eseutil /M in different scenarios, see How to Run Eseutil /M in File Dump Mode.
The following table provides details of switches used to view headers of different types of database files:
|You can use the
Eseutil /mh switch
View the header information of Exchange database files (.edb), streaming files (.stm) and Patch files (.pat) for a private or public information store.
Note Patch files only exist on pre-Service Pack 2 (SP2) Exchange 2000 Server-based servers.
Eseutil /ml switch
View the header of a private information store log file.
Eseutil /mk switch
View the header information for private information store checkpoint files.
