San Francisco Giants Make World Championship Visit to White House
The Seattle Storm visited the White House in Washington, DC today to be congratulated by President Barack Obama. They then helped host a WNBA Fit camp outside the White House basketball court. You can see more pictures here. Congratulations again to the Storm for winning the 2010 WNBA Championship.
"Note to Saints administration: Just in case you're wondering. President Obama's administration probably has the juice and political skills to drop Saints jersey sales in an instant across the country. People might even bring them back for a refund. That's just one of the things I can think of. Is it worth a couple hundred million to you to get a distorted message across?"
The National Champion Florida Gators decided that Eagles rookie TE Cornelius Ingram would be the guy to present a jersey to President Obama when the team visited the White House last month.

The Shroud of Turin is one of the most studied artifacts in all human history. Yet, many centuries after it was first widely discovered, the shroud is still sparking controversy and intense debate.
Some people believe that the shroud is the actual linen cloth that covered Jesus Christ's body in his grave -- and that the energy generated by Jesus' resurrection miraculously burned the image of his face and body on the shroud. But others claim that the shroud is fake -- an elaborate forgery created by an artist.
The shroud shows both the front and back images of a tall, muscular man who had suffered wounds consistent with the Bible's detailed accounts of Jesus' crucifixion. It also contains blood stains and flower pollen spores.
Historical evidence may take the shroud as far back as 544 AD to the ancient city of Edessa, Turkey, and its location prior to that is unclear, so it can't be either proven or disproven from history. The first written historical records of the shroud date to the 1300s, some time after it disappeared during the Sack of Constantinople in 1204 and resurfaced in Lirey, France. The shroud has been located in Turin, Italy since 1578, and it has been on public display there during many exhibitions over the years.
Scientists from all over the world have conducted extensive research on the shroud. Laboratory analysis of samples taken from the shroud's blood stains have conclusively shown that the blood (type AB) is real, and lab results from studies on the shroud's pollen spores (from the imprint of a crown of thorny flowers around the head) have revealed that the pollen came mostly from the Jerusalem area.
Radiocarbon dating tests performed by laboratories in 1988 at first seemed to discredit the shroud's reliability as a first century artifact, since results of tests on the material used (a small swatch of cloth taken from one of the shroud's corners) showed that the material dated from between 1260 to 1390 AD. However, those results have since been invalidated because the material selected for the testing may have been from parts of the shroud that were damaged and later repaired, rather than from the original material. Many scientists want to do more research on the shroud to get a clearer idea of its age. For example, Christopher Ramsey, director of the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (one of the labs that helped with the 1988 tests), said in 2008: "There is a lot of other evidence that suggests to many that the shroud is older than the radiocarbon dates allow, and so further research is certainly needed."
Another one of the shroud's mysteries -- how the man's image appeared there -- hasn't yet been solved, either. Scientific research has ruled out many previous theories about how the image may have formed on the shroud, such as painting techniques or chemical processes resulting from body decomposition. Scientists have said that it's possible for the image to have been burned onto the shroud through a process called corona discharge, in which extremely high levels of energy can print images through ionization. Some people believe that this scientific theory is consistent with the miraculous explanation that energy generated by Jesus' resurrection printed the striking image of his face and body on the shroud.

Just watched GTA V trailer I am stunned!!!!!!
I am amazed at this game. Although with the graphics I'm not entirely convinced its Xbox 360/PS3, It seems like its a PC version running it. Yet who knows, Red Dead Redemption looked pretty great to me and that was only on consoles. I just do not understand how you could get visuals like the GTAV gameplay trailer out of a Xbox 360 or PS3. Yet I have been amazed before. I super excited for this game. It will have so much more to do compared to GTAIV. Hunting, yoga, tennis, golf, customizing cars, tattoos. This will truly be the greatest GTA of all time. It just gah my head is exploding from all this.

For most people the most difficult part of the day Thursday, Feb. 13, was the tense morning drive to work in Kanawha County, WV and surrounding counties.
But for those whose job takes them out on the roads the sudden blast of snow made for a long day.
It might have delayed the arrival of that letter or package you have been waiting to receive.
United States Postal Service Mail Carrier Nathan Lewis had his work cut out for him as he delivered mail in the Cross Lanes area Thursday morning.
"Definitely the driving conditions are a challenge," Lewis said.
Sections of the route he would normally drive, he had to walk.
"Most people think because we have chains we can get anywhere," Lewis explained. "These trucks are only rear wheel drive so we can only get to so many places."
As he traveled through the snow covered neighborhoods he had to navigate around vehicles that were stuck in the roadway. Snow was stacked deep on top of many of the mailboxes. Residents along his route paused to ask him about road conditions.
"Rain, sleet, snow or hail, nothing will keep us from delivering the mail," Lewis said. "I learned that as a joke when I was doing the training with the guys at the Charleston office. But you know if you think about it, it is actually true. Regardless of it snowing this bad or real bad rain we are out here."
He said dealing with the weather is just part of the job.
"They take real good care of training us and making sure we are ready for these types of conditions," Lewis said. "When we are out here in the real world it is just us and the truck."
He said he was able to get mail to most of the places along his route Thursday. The places he could not get to he says he will deliver to as soon as possible. He is hoping to be able to get to those homes Friday.

Lpath Receives First U.S. Patent for Anti-LPA Antibody, Lpathomab
Key Patent Further Validates Lpath's ImmuneY2 Platform as a Viable Platform for Drug Discovery
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/25/12 -- Lpath, Inc. (OTCBB: LPTN), the industry leader in lipidomics-based therapeutics, received official notification from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that it has been issued a key patent protecting Lpathomab, a monoclonal antibody against lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).
The newly issued U.S. Patent No. 8,158,124 claims antibody compositions directed against LPA, a bioactive lipid that has been validated as a target in multiple disease states.
"The issuance of our first Lpathomab patent is a major milestone for Lpath and an essential step in the product's development," stated Roger Sabbadini, Lpath's founder, chief science officer and an inventor on the patent. "It provides further protection for our drug-development program that promises to solve important unmet clinical needs."
LPA is a well-validated drug target: peer-reviewed journals have established that LPA promotes tumorigenesis, metastasis and fibrotic disease and plays a significant role in neuropathic pain and in neurotrauma, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI).
Lpath and collaborators have recently shown that Lpathomab provides protection against neuronal cell death in TBI and SCI studies, where size of the injury was reduced after TBI; and behavioral function was improved after both TBI and SCI. Future studies will be directed toward examining Lpathomab's activity against a range of CNS disorders in which cell death is observed, including Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Scott Pancoast, Lpath's president and CEO, commented: "The issuance of a composition-of-matter patent for an anti-LPA antibody significantly enhances the commercial value of our Lpathomab program. The LPA signaling pathway has been well implicated as a contributor to disease progression, and while others are intervening downstream at the LPA-receptor level, we believe the direct approach of neutralizing LPA itself has certain advantages that will prove out over time."
Lpathomab was generated using Lpath's proprietary ImmuneY2 technology. This drug-discovery engine provides Lpath with a platform from which to generate antibodies against bioactive lipids, opening up a new array of drug-discovery possibilities. About 1,000 bioactive members of the lipidome are believed to exist, but the number could be considerably larger as the study of lipidomics continues to expand. Nature Reviews stated that bioactive lipids promise to occupy center-stage in cell biology research in the twenty-first century.
Lpath utilized ImmuneY2 to discover an antibody against another bioactive lipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). This antibody, sonepcizumab, is formulated as iSONEP for ocular delivery and as ASONEP for systemic delivery. Both of these drug candidates will be further investigated in Phase 2 trials later this year.

I recently bought a 65 6cyl that is in great shape. That being said there maintence issue that have gone undone for a long time. The thing that I really want to get first is a complete once over on the brakes. I found a very good over view on this forum but it left me with questions about the rear backing plate. What I saw redid the front brakes off the car. The only way that I can see to do that to the rear would be to remove the rear axle. Is that what would have to be done.
the rear axles come out with 4 NUTS removed ... please.. use care.. as you have to support the weight of the axle as it comes out... wiping it with a rag to stop the oil drip... the reason to support and center the axle as you are going out and then back in... so you don't tear the lip off the rear axle seal... they are easily damaged during axle removal and installation.. they are cheep and usually really easy to install...a TIP about seals... there are 2 sizes that the parts guy might hand you.. one for the small 28 spline axles.. one for the 31 spline axles.. you should not have an issue... but wait the tip..once you have the seal in your hand.. stop by a hardware store.. see if they have any washers.. just a fraction smaller than the seal outside diameter.. if they do pick up 2 or 3... pick up a 12 inch bolt to go through them.. and 2 nuts... you will probably need several smaller washers..you can now trap the big washers with the thinner washers between the 2 nuts on the end of the bolt... you now have a rear axle seal driver for about 5 or 6 bucks.. be sure that it fits the end of the axle housing.. or you may have to grind the outside of the washers down to reduce the side to get a perfect fit.. more info.. there are 4 or 5 should read articles if you type the word brake into the search window above right... you will have to look through the pages..there are 2 or 3 more over at mustangs and fords..http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/mump_0704_drum_brake_installation/photo_12.htmlyou can get to the rest of the article from this link...i normally pull the axle with my right hand.. the left hand has 3 or 4 paper towels and is wiping the axle as it comes out.please pay close attention to the wear on the end of the parking brake spreader bar.. on the parking brake lever where the spreader bar lays against it.. and that the oval spring at the front is intact.. this is just to one of them.
Thanks for the link that seems to answer the questions that I have right now. It has been a long time since I have done any real work on a car.

The Best Recipe: Soups & Stews, Cook's Illustrated Magazine
Serves 4 TO 6
To preserve its delicate flavor and color, this soup is best served immediately. A few croutons are the perfect embellishment.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 large shallots, minced (about 1 cup), or 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts, chopped fine (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups homemade chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds broccoli
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt and ground black pepper
1. Heat the butter in a large saucepan over low heat until foaming. Add the shallots and cook, covered, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Stirring constantly, gradually add the chicken stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Mean-while, separate the broccoli stalks and florets. Trim the tough bottom portion of the stalks and then peel the tough outer skin from the remaining portion. Coarsely chop the stalks and pulse them in a food processor until cut very small but not pureed. (The largest pieces should be peasized.) Transfer the stalks to a medium bowl. Coarsely chop the florets and then pulse them in the food processor, in two batches, until cut very small but not pureed. Transfer the florets to the bowl with the stalks.
3. Add the broccoli to the simmering stock. Increase the heat to medium-high, and return to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
4. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Rinse out and wipe the saucepan clean. Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and stir in the cream. If the soup seems too thick, stir in up to 1 cup hot water. Warm the soup over low heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Oceans & Coasts
Rhode Island is the Ocean State. Narragansett Bay, its rivers, and our coastal waters reach into nearly every community. These waters define and distinguish our culture and shared experience, and they shape both the natural and human history of the region.
The Conservancy's Ocean and Coastal Conservation program is closely integrated with our Land and Freshwater program, serving the entire state and its watersheds, including the Blackstone and Taunton Rivers that flow in from Massachusetts. We work closely together with our colleagues across the region and the country, developing pioneering marine conservation projects. The Conservancy's Global Marine program is also based in Rhode Island, ensuring synergy and a long reach of our local efforts.
Using sound science to make good decisions
Rhode Island is a global leader in marine spatial planning, and the Conservancy continues provide expert analysis of state and federal efforts to manage and regulate offshore wind energy facilities and other activities in coastal waters. We were a key partner in the development of the nation's first federally-approved ocean zoning plan, the Ocean Special Area Management Plan, and we remain active in efforts to protect underwater habitat and promote responsible and carefully-planned development through a transparent and public process.
Bringing back wild oysters
The Nature Conservancy in Rhode Island is emerging as a recognized national leader in shellfish restoration and ecology. In 2011 and 2012, our successful "Oysters Gone Wild" program collected more than 60 tons of oyster shells from local raw bars and restaurants, which we used to construct natural reefs in Ninigret Pond in Charlestown. The project was the first of its kind in Rhode Island.
The Conservancy is actively working with universities, the aquaculture industry, and agency partners to better understand the natural propagation of oysters, to measure the water filtering capacity of an oyster reef, and to explore how aquaculture operations can help enhance wild oyster populations. We will expand these efforts in 2013, with a long-term goal of large-scale shellfish and habitat restoration projects in other South County salt ponds and Narragansett Bay.
A new approach to restoring salt marsh habitat
Salt marshes are vital to the overall health of coastal estuaries in Rhode Island and all along the southern New England coast. They filter runoff, provide habitat for fish, birds, and shellfish, and when the tide comes up, our marshes retain flood waters and buffer against storm surges. In the face of sea level rise, however, salt marshes have little room to move inland due to shoreline development. Some of the most severe marsh erosion is occurring on the Narrow River in Narragansett, home to the John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge.
The Nature Conservancy is teaming with the US Fish & Wildlife Service to determine whether low-cost, "living shoreline" measures are effective in stabilizing salt marsh habitat. In the coming months, the Conservancy will install coir logs (a byproduct of the coconut industry) and transplanted ribbed mussels to trap silt and reduce wave energy from storms and boat wakes. The thought is that if we can slow the pace of erosion, salt marsh plants and shellfish will soon colonize the area and begin to form a more stable marsh bank. A similar study in Delaware Bay has shown tremendous promise, and we are hoping to replicate that success here at home on the Narrow River

I think we can all agree the Ravens have exceeded everyone's expectations and are now a legit contender to not only make the playoffs, but win a game or two. I think we can also agree that the most glaring hole on this team is a big play WR. Derrick Mason is playing at a Pro Bowl level, but to reach our full potential in Cam's offense, we need a strong, fast, big play receiver to pair next to him. While Todd Heap helped fill that role somewhat in the past, he has been a non factor in the passing game this year. Although we most likely will not make any additions until the off season, there is a chance Ozzie could decide that we are close enough to compete for a Super Bowl, and that he will explore adding a stud WR to put us over the top.
The main candidate for an in season trade would be Roy Williams of the Lions. Due to the firing of Matt Millen, it is likely the Lions will enter a rebuilding process, again. It is doubtful that Roy would be willing to waste the prime of his career toiling for a crap team, and due to his free agent status at the end of the year, he will probably be suting up for someone other then Detroit in 2009, regardless. Since they will most likely lose him anyway, the Lions would be wise to explore potential trades in order to get a return on one of their top two assets (The other is Calvin Johnson who is not going anywhere).
The question then becomes, Do we want Roy Williams this year, and what are we willing to give up to get him?
To answer the first question... Of course the Ravens would want Roy Williams, but only at our price. He is a very talented, young WR with great size, although he does have a lengthy injury history which has kept him from becoming a top tier wideout in the NFL. He is 6ft 3in and 211lbs and runs a blazing 4.37 forty yard dash, with a 39.5" vertical. That is pretty impressive, especially paired with his in game highlights, as Roy has been known to make a spectacular catch or two.
The second question is a bit trickier... While we would like to improve the roster now, we cannot mortgage the future, especially with a rookie QB and Head Coach. In essence we would be bidding against the Cowboys, among other teams. I don't think Ozzie would be willing to part with as much as Dallas might be, which would make this trade tough to pull off. Short of giving up draft picks, (I would give up a second rounder, but not a first) the Lions might want Bart Scott or Terrell Suggs, since both will also be free agents at seasons end, and it looks as though the Ravens will not be able to keep both. I would never consider trading Suggs due to his age, talent, and production. Before the season I would have listened to an offer for Bart, as the Ravens will most likely not be able to retain his services this off season, when they hopefully resign Suggs. After watching 3 games, and seeing the Bart Scott of 2006 return, I would lean toward not making this deal. Scott is back to his Pro Bowl ways, running all over the field, pressuring the QB, and laying bone crushing hits onto opposing RB's. On the other hand, he is two years older the Roy Williams, we have Nick Greison and Tavares Gooden to step in at LB, and there is a good chance we will lose Bart in the off season anyway. Why not get something for him?
To be truthful, I would have to watch a few more games to make my final decison on any trade whether it be for picks, prospects, or Scott. As of now I'd lean toward trying to sign Boldin or Williams after the season. One thing is certain though... The need for a big play WR is clear in Cam's offense.
Do you think the Ravens are close enough to explore dealing for a player such a Williams? Or would you rather stand pat and try to pickup a WR in the offseason?

Over $44 million was recovered last year from 20,000 people who wrongfully collected unemployment insurance in the state of Illinois.
The Illinois Department of Employment Security has also asked the IRS to take an additional $226 million from 71,000 people who defrauded IDES on purpose or should have known they were not eligible for temporary unemployment benefits.
Individuals who refused a repayment plan offer from IDES had their federal tax returns confiscated.
"Not only are we criminally prosecuting benefit fraud, this shows we are fighting to claw back the money," IDES Director Jay Rowell said. "Every dollar we get back means businesses will pay less in taxes so they can use that money to hire more employees and help grow our economy."
IDES began garnishing federal tax returns after reforms were enacted in 2011.

Teens held over GTA stabbing
Three males, aged 15, 16 and 18 have been arrested after a man was stabbed and robbed of a copy of Grand Theft Auto V less than two hours after buying the game, Scotland Yard said.
Three teens arrested over 'Grand Theft Auto stabbing'
Three males, aged 15, 16 and 18 have been arrested after a man was stabbed and robbed of a copy of Grand Theft Auto V less than two hours after buying the game, Scotland Yard said.
EU controls are putting the brakes on UK games industry
The days of glitzy games launches, like that of Grand Theft Auto V today, could be numbered in the UK as EU controls put the brakes on.Read the full story
Man mugged after buying copy of Grand Theft Auto
A man has been hit with a brick, stabbed and robbed in north London just moments after leaving a supermarket with a copy of Grand Theft Auto V.
The 23-year-old had been shopping at the Asda store in Colindale where he bought the newly-launched game soon after if went on sale at midnight. The attack was reported to police at around 1:20am this morning.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the video game was stolen along with a watch and mobile phone, but that it is not clear whether this was the motive for the attack.
The victim is in a stable condition in hospital and a robbery investigation is under way.
Two apps released to accompany Grand Theft Auto V
The developer behind Grand Theft Auto V has released two apps to accompany the game.
The first, called 'Grand Theft Auto V: The Manual', is self-explanatory and features a digital version of the game map.
The second allows users to customise their virtual cars and to train a digital Rottweiler who helps or hinders one the characters in the game depending on the user's level of activity in the app.
The description of 'iFruit' appears to poke fun at Apple and the app phenomenon: "Apps can transform your mobile device into essential tools like a harmonica, disco ball or convincing moustache".
Rare criticism of GTA V focuses on 'rampant misogyny'
Reviews of Grand Theft Auto V have, almost without exception, rated it very highly. The rare criticism has mostly focused on the apparent misogyny of the game:
– Carolyn Petit, gamespot
GTA V is an imperfect yet astounding game that has great characters and an innovative and exciting narrative structure, even if the story it uses that structure to tell is hobbled at times by inconsistent character behaviour, muddled political messages and rampant misogyny.
– keith stuart, grand theft auto
Women are, once again, relegated to supporting roles as unfaithful wives, hookers and weirdos ... It's fine to parody the idiotic misogyny of violent men, but how about doing it by providing their opposite?
– Chris plante, Polygon
The developer's progress makes the aspects of the game left in cultural stasis - the poorly drawn women, the empty cynicism, the unnecessarily excessive cruelty - especially agitating.
Poll: Almost half of gamers take day off work for GTA V
A poll by the gaming website IGN.com found that almost half of readers (46 percent) found that almost half of readers planned to take a day off work in order to buy and play Grand Theft Auto V.
- 5,059 readers (46%) planned to book day off as holiday
- 2,012 (19%) said they would phone in claiming to be ill
- 3,884 (35%) said they would wait to get their hands on the game
Gamers queue for hours to get hands on GTA V
Gamers formed a long queue outside the flagship GAME store at Westfield Stratford shopping centre in London in the early hours of this morning.
Zohair Ali punched the air with delight as he became the first person to buy a copy of Grand Theft Auto V from the east London store.
"I'm really excited now that I've got it in my hands," one fan said.
"Being one of the biggest games of the year, it's going to be one of them I'm on for a long time."
GTA V is 'one of the very best video games ever made'
Keza MacDonald, games editor at IGN.com, described GTA V as a "masterpiece" and "one of the very best video games ever made".
Grand Theft Auto V is not only a preposterously enjoyable video game, but also an intelligent and sharp-tongued satire of contemporary America.
It represents a refinement of everything that GTA IV brought to the table five years ago.
It's technically more accomplished in every conceivable way, but it's also tremendously ambitious in its own right.
No other world in video games comes close to this in size or scope, and there is sharp intelligence behind its sense of humour and gift for mayhem.
It tells a compelling, unpredictable, and provocative story without ever letting it get in the way of your own self-directed adventures through San Andreas.
It is one of the very best video games ever made.
GTA V expects 25 million sales in first year
Experts are tipping Grand Theft Auto V to smash sales records and estimates suggest it could generate £1 billion during its first year on sale when gamers are predicted to snap up some 25 million copies.
In a message on its website, Amazon warned any orders placed after September 13th may not arrive until after tomorrow's release date because of high demand.
The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series has accumulated sales of 135 million copies since its 1997 debut. GTA IV has reportedly sold more than 25 million copies since its 2008 release.
GTA V is 'biggest entertainment launch of 2013'
Tom Butler, social media editor of gaming site IGN.com, said GTA V's release would be the biggest entertainment release of the year.
Grand Theft Auto V will be the biggest entertainment launch of the year and possibly all-time with levels of consumer anticipation outstripping Harry Potter and Twilight.
With gamers queuing at midnight to be among the first to play and the developer boasting thousands of hours of game play, there's no surprise that we're likely to see an outbreak of GTA flu this September.
The gaming site polled 10,995 readers to ask whether they would take time off work on Tuesday when the GTA V goes on sale.
According to its findings, 5,059 readers (46%) said they booked the day off as holiday.

New York City Icons
Letter by Mayor Laguardia
and Signed Photo of Robert Moses
Two New York City Icons.
Robert Moses (19887-1981).
Although he never held elected office, Moses was arguably the most powerful person in New York City government from the 1930s to the 1950s. He literally changed shorelines, built roadways in the sky, and transformed vibrant neighborhoods forever. His decisions favoring highways over public
transport formed the modern suburbs of Long Island and influenced a generation of engineers, architects and urban planners who spread his philosophies across the nation.Moses's projects were also considered by many to be necessary for the region's development, and Moses participated in the construction of two huge
World's Fairs
: one in
and the other in
Moses was also in large part responsible for the United Nations' decision to headquarter in Manhattan as opposed to San Francisco. To Moses's critics, however, he will always be remembered for believing that, "cities are for traffic," and, "if the ends don't justify the means, what does?"At one point, one quarter of federal construction dollars were being spent in New York, and Moses had 80,000 people working under him. Moses spent middle class money on the middle class.Moses had direct influence outside the New York area as well. City planners in many smaller American cities hired Moses to design freeway networks for them in the 1940s and early 1950s. Few of these were built; initially postponed for lack of funding, projects still unbuilt by the 1960s were often defeated by the awakening citizen-led opposition movement.Moses was the subject of Robert Caro's book
The Power Broker. This book is still used in graduate schools in courses dealing with administration because Moses was an administrative genius.Caro paints Moses as uniquely destructive to the American urban fabric.
Yet the author is more neutral in his central premise: the city would have been a very different place -- maybe better, maybe worse -- if Moses had never existed. Most people believe the city is far better off for Moses having lived there.
The offering is an 8 in.x 10 in. signed B&W photo of Moses signed
Robert Moses
, n.p, n.d. but circa 1950.
Fiorello Henry LaGuardia ( 1882 1947)
was the Republican Mayor of New York for three terms from 1934 to 1945. He was popularly known as "the Little Flower," the translation of his Italian first name, also perhaps a reference to his short stature of just 5 feet. A popular mayor and a strong supporter of the New Deal, LaGuardia led New York's recovery during the Great Depression and became a national figure, serving as President Roosevelt's Director of Civilian Defense during the run-up to the United States joining the Second World War.He is one of the most famous and well known mayors in the history of the city.LaGuardia also served in the armed forces and in congress before becoming mayor.He was a very popular figure, often an ally of Moses and he was a maverick republican reformer with ties to labor.
In this letter to William Paley of CBS fame has the mayor writing to Paley to get him to serve on a committee to bring a convention to NYC.The letter is on City of New York Stationery and had a clear dark signature by
F. LaGuardia. The letter is dated September 9, 1035.
NYC obviously needed to stimulate the convention business in the Great Depression.

I need to calculate the time difference between 2 different events as shown below(Event1 and Event2). It gives the time required for a particular host to login.
These Events are going to be repeated over time. So I need to calculate the time for each of the Event pairs( so that I can calculate the average login time at the end)
Event1: 2:45:57.000 PM
Several other events with differnt EventCode or host info
Event2: 2:45:59.000 PM
I am trying the following command but it does not seem to give the desired output.
I need to do it for similar host(time for host=host1, time for host=host2 etc). Can you suggest if the above command would be useful or can you suggest a different command.
The exact log looks something like this
asked 25 Apr '12, 11:31
kristian.kolb ♦
If I understand your question correctly (seems to be some editing required), you're making a mistake in the transactions command. You're doing the transaction over the wrong field. The point of having a transaction over a field, is that the value of the field is the same for all events considered to be part of the transaction. Think of a JSESSIONID or a client IP in a web server log, and you'll get the idea.
In your case, I think this search would work the way you want;
The result should look something like
Since there seems to be no true sessionID to go by, we'll make a transaction over a combination of fields. First however, we must make a rename of some fields, since there are some inconsistencies in Redmond naming standards.
Hope this helps,

Thanks. The query has been answered. Do I need to mark it as answered anywhere?

I believe you could just click the check-mark next to the answer, underneath the up/down arrows. Thanks, /k
(02 May '12, 12:30) kristian.kolb ♦
Sure will do that. Kristian, do you have any idea about using REST API's. I am getting error("401 Unauthorized") in Step 3, when I run example given in the below link. http://blogs.splunk.com/2011/08/02/splunk-rest-api-is-easy-to-use/
(03 May '12, 04:17) hiteshkanchan
I think the question was not very clear.
The output that I get by running this command is
What this command gives is the difference between the first Event-4648 time and the last Event-4624 time. But in the log there are several such combination of events ( 4648 and 4624 pairs )
What I actually want is the time difference between each 4648 and 4624 combinations separately (which gives me the time required for a user to login to a VM).
The output needs to be something like this.
which tells that Server-A took 10 seconds to login at time 12:23:34
and 20 Seconds at time 08:15:24
Pasting the log below for clarity
answered 25 Apr '12, 23:10
kristian.kolb ♦
see update above
(25 Apr '12, 23:35) kristian.kolb ♦
Hi Kristian, Is it not very clear still. Do you want me to give some more explanation.
(26 Apr '12, 00:04) hiteshkanchan
Hi, could you please tell me what piece of information in the events signify that a particular 4648 is connected to a particular 4624?
Is it the Account_Name, ComputerName, IP address or something else (or a combination of several). I'm not a Windows admin, and the LogonGUID, Logon_ID seem confusing.
(26 Apr '12, 00:38) kristian.kolb ♦
Its actually the ComputerName(I think I specified this as host in my earlier enquiry) which signifies that the 4648 is connected to 4624. There will be several other host/ComputerName like that. I am trying to use a combination of delta and transaction. Is that the right way to go?
(26 Apr '12, 01:53) hiteshkanchan
Is it the ComputerName only? If 2 people log on to the machine, will there not be 2 events of each 4624 and 4648? How do you tell the sessions apart?
I don't think you'll be needing delta.
(26 Apr '12, 01:58) kristian.kolb ♦
We are actually logging into a VM. Other than the ComputerName there is Username and IP_Address field which gives information of which User (with IP_address) is trying to log in.
(26 Apr '12, 02:34) hiteshkanchan
Is there nothing like a session-id in windows logs? I think I've seen it, but perhaps not for these eventcodes.
The ComputerName would be the machine that's being logged into, right?
See above for updated info.
(26 Apr '12, 02:45) kristian.kolb ♦
Yes the ComputerName is the machine thats been logged into. I am trying to validate the result.
Before that Is transaction not used for calculating the time difference between the first occurence and the last occurence and not adjacent occurences. Is it correct?
Thats why I was trying somethg like this.
host="DEVSERVER7" (EventCode=4624 OR EventCode=4648) |sort _time| delta _time AS timeDelta p=1 | eval timeDeltaS=abs(timeDelta) | eval AVGtime=tostring(timeDelta,"duration")|search AVGtime!="00:00:00" OR EventCode=4648 | table _time,Account_Name,Source_Network_Address,EventCode,AVGtime
(26 Apr '12, 03:06) hiteshkanchan
I am seeing some higher values in the duration field like 1252, 1400 etc. normally login time will be in 5-10 seconds. Can I see the time for both 4624 and 4648(for a specific user) and then the difference, so that it will be easier for me to validate. When you execute the command does it calculate the time difference between the adjacent 4624 and 4648 for a specific user (and ignores the 4624 and 4624 combination)?
(26 Apr '12, 03:40) hiteshkanchan
I validated your command on a proper set of data. It seems to be working fine. Thanks a lot.
As i can see the transaction command lists the multiple combination of event pairs separately. Is that correct?
(26 Apr '12, 06:33) hiteshkanchan
yes that is correct.
please mark the question as answered if it worked out for you.
(26 Apr '12, 06:50) kristian.kolb ♦
One problem that I see running this command is, when the Eventcode=4624 is existing and the other EventCode=4648 is not existing, it still calculates some value for duration (=136)which is not correct. Can we avoid this?
(26 Apr '12, 23:05) hiteshkanchan
So you mean that you happen to run the search in the middle of a login attempt, so the login process has started but not completed? Or the opposite, where you catch the end of a login, but beginning of the transaction was outside/before the time range of the search?
The answer to either is the same, and I've updated the search above.
(27 Apr '12, 00:39) kristian.kolb ♦
Yeah right. You are right on the use case. Its still giving me some high value if one of the events is not present. Need to check this.
(27 Apr '12, 02:07) hiteshkanchan
I tried "where eventcount=2" as well instead of "search eventcount=2". Even that does not seem to work. It still logs in some time even if only one of the events is present.
(27 Apr '12, 04:57) hiteshkanchan
I get the same results for both approaches. /k
(27 Apr '12, 05:17) kristian.kolb ♦
Actually my log data have slightly changed with the Event codes and the associated common parameters between the Event codes. This had to be done because we were not getting proper logging information with the earlier events.
So we wrote some Event through the VB Script which gets logged when the VM starts (and it is having EventCode=0). The common field b/n these events is only the host,
host="*.mswpc.com" EventCode="0" OR EventCode="4624" | transaction host startswith=(EventCode="4624") endswith=(EventCode="0") maxevents=2 | search eventcount=2 | table duration, host, _time, Account_Name

Cultural Perspectives
The descendants of the prehistoric peoples of the Southwest are very much alive and thriving. The Hopi of Northern Arizona and the various Pueblo people of New Mexico have religious and cultural practices which began with prehistoric cultures.
Pueblo villages such as Old Oraibi of the Hopi, and Sky City of Acoma were built around A.D. 1100, the same time as those at Wupatki and Walnut Canyon. These are viable communities yet today. The ceremonies and tribal rituals carried on there have been practiced for centuries. Crafts like pottery making and weaving have origins deeply rooted in the past. Time brought change, but traditions and customs have lived on through the centuries.
The Hopi call their ancestors Hisatsinom, meaning "People of the past." However, in most cases archeologists borrowed names for prehistoric cultures from American Indian tribes of today. For example, Anasazi is a Diné (Navajo) name meaning "ancient ones" or "ancient enemy" and Hohokam is an Ackimal O'odham (Pima) name meaning "those who have gone" or "all used up." In some cases names were given according to archeological findings, for example, Sinagua is from Spanish words sin (without) and agua (water).
The pueblos found in Wupatki, Sunset Crater Volcano, and Walnut Canyon National Monuments are now part of the National Park System. They still are sacred to the modern Pueblo people. Many sites are known by name and have their place in oral history that is passed on from one generation to the next. Various Hopi clans are traced back to these sites.
When you visit ancient Pueblos, remember these sites are an important part of modern Pueblo culture. They are a source of cultural identity and provide a bond with ancestors. Vandalism and theft of artifacts weaken these ties. We ask that you leave everything in its place.
Reuben Honahnie, Hopi,
Did You Know?
The large pueblos preserved at Wupatki National Monument were constructed in the years following the eruption of nearby Sunset Crater, sometime between 1040 and 1100. Volcanic ash, deposited in thin layers, retained moisture and improved farming for an increased population at Wupatki.

On Rajon Rondo and his future as the leader of the band.
image: Basketball Schedule via flickr.
At its greatest heights, basketball is a game marked by the aesthetic excellence of the athletically gifted, whereupon the most incredible leave their individual imprint in ways that cannot be qualified or codified, awesomely challenging not only the laws of physics but the very notion of the game itself. The same way Jimi Hendrix delivered his definitive version of The Star Spangled Banner to hordes of dazed heads at Woodstock, the same way Miles Davis abandoned jazz for the meditative funk of Agharta and Pangea, so too does Rajon Rondo disregard the modern tradition of the point guard and continue to redefine the possible far out on his own trajectory.
In Celtics lore, one would have to reach back to Bob Cousy to find similar descriptors of pointguard as conductor par excellence, but where Cooz was a safety blanket to fans of the era—a white man controlling a game (watched by white men) that was quickly becoming the province of comparatively inscrutable black powerhouses like Russell, Chamberlain, and Baylor—Rondo is relegated to half a dinner set by sports men and women alike.
Those given to such cutlerian affectations contend that the modern NBA point must have a worthy enough three point shot that he demands attention outside the paint and possess enough free throw aptitude to justify his own threat to earn points when he drives to the hoop. As much as advanced statistics have begun to take hold in discussions among fans, it seems scoring still remains our first option when evaluating the ability of a team's standout hoopsman to impose his will so thoroughly on the court that when the buzzer sounds there remains no doubt among any spectator, participant, or prospective heckler that the player in question gave his all to win.
Reading, hearing, and digesting these statements brings to mind nothing more than those that screamed "Judas!" at Dylan when he went electric, or bemoaned the synthesizer-y explorations of Pink Floyd as machines-playing-the-music. For someone with game that hearkens as throwback as equally as it points forward to a brave new world, Rajon Rondo occupies a strange place in a sport that many use as respite from the realities of the world. He is the focal point of the offense even when he doesn't emerge as the scoring leader, and even in a world where all box scores can be compared, many of his assists exist on a different level from other passes that merely lead to buckets.
Oft-criticized for not Playing The Game The Right Way™ by eschewing the easy pass for one of virtuoso difficulty, the beauty of Rondo's game lies in the fact that, in his hands, the ball is treated to a psychedelic voyage through infinite possibilities, a realm where normal, rote, and routine are left panting behind the wild colors and pulsing rhythms of the spectacular, rejoining the universe at an intersection between the sublime and the absurd that only Manu Ginobili frequents with half as much regularity. When it results in success, fans are reminded and reassured of the reasons to watch the game live in the first place—for if it was truly only about winning, it would be much easier to check the box scores the morning after in between the first cup of coffee and the daily commute. Regardless of how much it reeks of marketing-speak, the NBA is where amazing happens, and amazing seems to follow Rondo like a swarm of tweens on the hunt for their newest pop idol.
With the banners, the history, and all the assorted championship memories that undercut all discourse on the most successful franchise in the NBA, the expectation of victory has had a long hold on the fans of the Boston Celtics. Players found incapable, through skillset or through motive, of bringing home the W are kissed kindly and shown the door—there are no fours in the Association, and shimmying by Celtics players is the exclusive right of the be-ringed. What appears at first to be a curious double standard for a group so vocal about the virtues of loyalty is instead revealed to be a more base desire—a loyalty to Larry O'Brien. Allies become assets. In this light, commonly reserved for both real and would-be general managers and particularly heightened at the end of a prematurely shortened postseason campaign, Rajon Rondo can be seen by squinted eye as Joyce's Stephen Daedalus, trying to escape the nightmare that is history. The same history, it must be acknowledged, that just laid claim to fellow green luminaries Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
It bears noting, then, that even with the dearth of talent at the point guard position, where tastes of a more regular stripe can be satisfied by recent reincarnations—recasting Chris Paul as Isiah Thomas through his mastery of the pick and roll, or hearing the echoes of madcap Iversonian athleticism in Derrick Rose's sojourns to the basket—Rondo's game has taken a cosmic, heady journey to an even earlier time in hoops history and returned as Ur-Cousy, making impossible passes to (sometimes unsuspecting) teammates, envisioning angles that confound mathematics and displaying a basketball mind that is at times so other and so alien that it confounds the IQ, hoops or otherwise. Fans dissecting his game as lacking in the current mold are akin to concert-goers seeing Miles circa 1975 and becoming distraught that he didn't play any cuts from Kind of Blue.
Point being, as free agency descends upon the league and trade season begin anew, if the Celtics do move The Clinic to another team in their efforts to rebuild and the fans are left wishing for Wiggins, we can only hope that his game continues to spin wild on its own orbital axis for many years to come, ideally to be rediscovered and celebrated more thoroughly by NBA archivists and historians of the future.

Former Adjunct Law Prof at GW Charged with Attempted Online Seduction of Girls
Posted Mar 11, 2011 7:22 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A former adjunct law professor at George Washington University is facing six felony charges in Florida based on allegations he attempted to seduce two "girls" online.
Richard Donald Lieberman, 64, was arrested on Thursday and is being held in Maryland pending extradition hearings, the Lakeland Ledger reports. He last taught at the law school in the fall of 2010, school officials told the newspaper.
According to online bios posted by the law school and Lieberman's law firm, he was a former deputy inspector general and assistant inspector general for the Department of Defense. He is currently a government contracts partner with McCarthy, Sweeney & Harkaway in Washington, D.C.
The Ledger story cites affidavit allegations that Lieberman had sexual online conversations with contacts identifying themselves as a 10-year-old girl named Danni and a 13-year-old girl named Jess. In reality, the "girls" were police investigators.
Lieberman allegedly sent Danni links to websites showing male and female genitals and instructed her to masturbate, the story says. He is charged with lewd battery, two counts of using a computer to seduce a child, two counts of receiving computer statements for the purpose of sexual conduct with a child, and transmitting harmful material to a minor.

General Benedict Arnold's decision in May of 1779 to offer his services to the British stands out as one of the more dramatic events of the Revolutionary War.
Arnold's offer to the British was to sell the plans of West Point, thus effecting its surrender-- in exchange for 20,000 pounds.
In a clandestine meeting with Major John Andre, in charge of intelligence for the British, Arnold handed over detailed plans of the number of troops and the location of fortifications surrounding the Hudson River garrison.
While traveling behind American lines, Andre was apprehended with the secret documents, tried by a military court and hanged as a spy. The documents in turn directly implicated Arnold as a traitor to the American cause.
When he learned of Andre's capture, Arnold fled on his official barge to the British man-of-war Vulture anchored in the Hudson. After a series of less-than-successful military exploits as a British Brigadier-General and a number of failed commercial ventures, Arnold sailed to London where he died in 1801. His legacy: Generations of his countrymen ever-after would regard the name of Benedict Arnold as synonymous with treason.

20 jobs are open for hire in Lee County and five times that many people showed up to apply for them today.
The school system is hiring and opened the application process today, the same day it was announced Georgia's unemployment rate rose again last month.
The hardship of unemployment is nothing new to many of the people applying for these Lee County jobs today.
Lee County is hiring school custodians, mechanics, food service workers and part-time bus drivers.
The Department of Labor is helping them fill those jobs.
Orlando Chambers Jr. is unemployed, has one child and another one due in November. He believes a job will put his life back on track.
"If I can get the job, any job really, it would help me out because I'm not working and anything will help. I'm just trying to do better for my family," said Chambers.
Michele Kusterman has been retired for a year and a half and said she's had enough.
"I can't take being bored. I do a lot better when I'm around people, you know? Out in the real world earning some money," said Kusterman.
They were among the nearly 125 people who showed to apply for 20 jobs with the Lee County school system.
They hope this job search will end better than those in the past.
"You kind of look at your self-worth and try to figure out what am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to get the job," said job applicant Darla Creel.
Caleb Lovejoy said he doesn't get discouraged. In fact, he's being positive.
Lovejoy is unemployed and moved to Lee County after marrying his wife and moving from Connecticut.
"I'm pretty confident. As long as I keep giving it my all something will happen and I will get the job I need in order for me and my wife to survive," said Lovejoy.
Lovejoy even had advice for those becoming discouraged in their job search.
"To other job applicants, don't give up. Keep trying. Explore your talents. You'll be surprised to find that you have more job skills than you believe," said Lovejoy.

So with everybody from Joe the Proverbial Plumber all the way up to Uncle Ted himself discussing the officiating in a 5-2 win over the 10th place team in the East, I figured I'd take some time to look into just how much time the Caps spend in the box, and their success in paying off their sins.
The numbers you'll see are the minors committed, PIMs/game and PK%, with league ranks for each. The below are the last 4 years, including this one.
'05-'06: 619 Minors committed (Most), 18.3 PIMs/game (4th most), 78.9% PK (28th best)
'06-'07: 451 Minors (13th most), 15 PIMs/game (9th most), 80.2% PK (23rd best)
'07-'08: 366 Minors (7th fewest), 11.9 PIMs/game (4th fewest), 80.5% PK (25th best)
This year: 305 Minors (6th most), 13 PIMs/game (7th fewest), 79.8% PK (20th best)
So does this mean that since Alex Ovechkin has come to town that the inmates run the asylum? Hardly. In fact, you've got to go all the way back to the 2000-01 season to find the last year the Caps were even in the TOP HALF of killing penalties. The growth of the players is admittedly remarkable, but there's still three Caps players who are in the Top 40 of the league at taking the most 5 on 5 penalties per 60 minutes, and one of them is being paid $4 million this to be a leader.
Is the problem a European one? Well, Detroit is routinely in the Top 10 of fewest PIMs per games, and they don't have a roster that Don Cherry would gush over. Their players do not do things like knowing how many people to have to be on the ice when killing a penalty, or diving to trip up a skater with under 4 minutes to play, or counting to 5 with under 3 minutes in a game.
As one who doesn't like Kerry Fraser or Don Koharski and wouldn't even think about defending them, I'd suggest that Messrs. Boudreau and company work on their own house, and understand that ANY penalty is dangerous for the Caps, regardless of who's killing the penalty kill.

Lawyers Find New Jobs Despite Stigma of Claimed $1B Rothstein Scheme
Posted Nov 19, 2009 1:13 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
When a lawyer is looking for a new job because his or her law firm is dissolving, it obviously doesn't help if one of its founding partners is being accused of operating a $1 billion Ponzi scheme.
But neither has this situation prevented attorneys from Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler from being snapped up by other firms, reports the Miami Herald.
A small firm in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for instance, leaped at the chance to acquire a five-lawyer bankruptcy and commercial litigation group from RRA.
"This was a rare opportunity to get experienced lawyers of their caliber,'' says Arthur Rice of Rice Pugatch Robinson & Schiller. He adds: "Of course we asked questions."
His firm wouldn't even have reached out to the group, Rice says, if partners of his firm thought the incoming lawyers had anything to do with Scott Rothstein's alleged misadventures.

Moving images have always fascinated me, especially using moving images to tell a story. I believe that great ideas shouldn't only remain as great ideas! They should be lived, felt and realized. And that's exactly what I have tried to achieve in my career as a copywriter, then as a television producer and now as the head producer of a production house.
But advertising has always been my first-love. I have spent a fruitful year in advertising, burning the midnight oil and scribbling ideas on blank pages. Thinking, scribbling and visualizing them in my head before planting them successfully into my clients'! For me the playing fields have changed over the last 6 years, but these basic tenets of professional life hasn't…!
Borrowing few pages from my ad experience, let me define myself succinctly. My tag-line, If I have to create one, is "versatility that you can depend on." Living my dream and trying to earn my bread and butter, I have utilized my education and experience in different aspects of production – starting with advertisements, then moving onto producing news, infotainment programs and promos for my channel and now, as a team-lead, in diverse audio-visual projects.
I have always tried to play multiple roles of a visualizer, writer, director and also involve myself with the other crucial aspects of production-namely cinematography, editing, graphic designing and promotions. For me 'deadlines' are sacrosanct, 'quality' non-negotiable and 'jack of all trades' is not a sign of confusion but versatility.

Nic Batum interview
Sorry i don't have the time to translate it. I think the interesting part is when Nic talks about his goals in the NBA . If someone wants to translate i can help a little... Quickly i'll try to give the main info: - Nic confirms that Nate tolds him he should stay in the starting five. - Nate wants Nic to work his shot and dribble but don't want him to bulk up a lot (to keep his agility, especially on defense) - you can feel in the interview that Nic as a great respect for Nate - the players have discussed the objective together before the holidays, and they want to finish 2nd in the regular season and play the WCF. _ Nic wants a championship in the next 5 years, and to be a all star in 3 or 4 years. "that can seem crazy but i need these objectives to work and progress" - the end: "I don't dream to play in a great team.Of course i would like to play in Chicago, Lakers, Celtics or Spurs. But this don't have to be my goal.. What i want now is to win the championship with Portland, help the Trail Blazers to be a great team again."

A man in South Euclid, Ohio, was ordered by the courts to sit at an intersection, holding a sign that proclaims "I AM A BULLY."
Edmond Aviv of South Euclid sat at the busy intersection of Trebisky and Monticello for 5 hours Sunday, holding the hand written sign, saying he is a bully who picks on children with disabilities.
Municipal Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers ordered the 62-year-old to serve this public punishment.
It was part of his sentence for harassing his neighbors, the Prugh family, that includes two adopted African American children with multiple disabilities.
According to police, there were a number of incidents over the 15 years they were next-door neighbors that went beyond name calling.
"He shoveled dog feces onto the car, the working vehicle of the one son who's a caregiver," Judge Williams-Byers said.
"What a disgrace this man is to humanity. Because what he did, inexcusable. Nobody can do something like that to other people," neighborhood resident Aldo Canzona said.
Jessica King came from Mentor with her son Conner to talk to Aviv.
"I am glad that this judge made an example out of him. And, is people like them that use words that shouldn't be used and stereotypes that shouldn't be used, and you know it hurts," King said.
Many passersby agreed with the unusual sentence for this unusual bullying case.
"He deserves some punishment and public humiliation is a good one," resident Gloria Gunter said, "I don't feel bad for him. He got pretty much what he deserved."
In addition to this public punishment, Aviv was sentenced to 15 days in jail. Also, he must perform 100 hours of community service and attend anger management classes.
Speaking for the family, Michael Prugh said he hopes the situation is behind them.
"Hopefully, it's just the end and we can all just move on," Prugh explained.
