Tech Update
The New Steels: If You Cant Form em Cold, Form em Hot
Seminar attendees learned to what extent the hot-stamping process has been developed and commercialized, not only from presentations by representatives from AP&T, which manufactures the presses and the material-handling equipment needed to move steel through a hot-stamping line, but also from AP&T's supplier partners:
• Thyssen Krupp Steel AG, supplier of hot-stamped ultra-high-strength manganese-boron steels;
• Stamping-simulation-software provider ESI Group, which, attendees were told, is focusing much of its efforts on better understanding the temperature dependence of friction during forming, and more accurately simulating cooling rates and heat transfer at varying pressures;
• Schwartz GmbH, manufacturer of the heattreat equipment used to warm steel blanks prior to stamping;
• Bohler-Uddeholm, which has developed tool steels specifically to handle the punishment that dies experience when working with these new steel alloys; and
• Fiat, which in September 2008 will christen a new facility solely to support its burgeoning hot-stamping operations.
Hot stamping of ultra-high-strength steels, including boron steels (such as Usibor 1500 stamped by Fiat and its suppliers including Gestamp, Benteler and Magna, and MBW 1500 manganese-boron steel from ThyssenKrupp) has become an accepted practice for automotive parts such as B- and A-pillar reinforcements, cross-member and roof reinforcements, and rear and front bumpers.
Alloy MBW 1500, attendees were told, has numerous applications on the VW Passat—sill-plate inner, B-pillar inner, side impact beam, etc.
To develop tooling that can function reliably at the high temperature of hot stamping (approximately 1700 F), Bohler-Uddeholm has developed a series of tool-steel grades with excellent temper resistance and hot yield strength, and good toughness at elevated temperatures.
And, AP&T engineers discussed issues such as handling heated blanks as they transfer from furnace to hydraulic press to trimming operations. The hot blanks move to the press over a roller table; engineers explained a roller design that limits contact between the workpiece and the rollers to minimize cooling of the steel. Grippers that carry the blank from the table into the die include shields for heat protection. Press technology designed for hot stamping includes temperature monitoring in the die with controls that ensure that the process stays within a prescribed temperature window.
In 2006, Fiat decided that, based on the success that some of its suppliers were having with hot forming, it would investigate hot-stamping some parts itself. Hot forming accounts for 14 percent (by weight) of the parts on its newest car model, and yields an average weight reduction of 22 percent compared to cold forming. To develop its own hot-stamping capabilities, it started working on a new building at its facility in November 2007 in Cassino, Italy, to house hot-stamping lines. Startup is slated for completion in September 2008. Two lines will feature robotic loading and stacking, with anticipated cycle times of 10 to 20 sec. to produce B-pillars, roof rails and reinforcement stampings.

I have written this run length encoding program to compress files. However when it is run, it is outputting each individual character with the occurrence, therefore making the file size larger!.
For example:
1. Original file - aaaaa
Compressed File - 5a
( this works like it should)
2. Original File - This is a test.
Compressed File - 1T1h1i1s1 1i1s1 1a1 1t1e1s1t1.1
(This doesn't, it makes the file larger! such be something such as: -16This is a test.)
Can anyone help me on getting strings such as these to output to the correct values.
Public String encode is where the conversion happens
import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*; public class RunLengthEncoding{ public String encode(String source) { StringBuffer dest = new StringBuffer(); for (int i = 0; i < source.length(); i++) { int runLength = 1; while( i+1 < source.length() && source.charAt(i) == source.charAt(i+1) ) { runLength++; i++; } dest.append(runLength); dest.append(source.charAt(i)); } return dest.toString(); } public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner dinp = new Scanner(System.in); String ufile; // the program asks the user to input the equation they would like to calculate System.out.println("Enter a file to compress "); // the input is received on the next line ufile = dinp.nextLine(); String fileName = ufile + ".txt"; Scanner inputStream = null; try { inputStream = new Scanner(new File(ufile)); } catch(FileNotFoundException e) { System.out.println("Error"); System.exit(0); } while (inputStream.hasNextLine()) { String line = inputStream.nextLine(); RunLengthEncoding RLE = new RunLengthEncoding(); String enc = (RLE.encode(line)); System.out.println(enc); try { FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(ufile + "-Compressed.txt",true); writer.write(enc + "\n"); writer.close(); } catch(IOException e) { System.out.println("nn"); } } inputStream.close(); } }

Configure timestamp recognition
Most events do not require special timestamp handling. Splunk software recognizes and extracts their timestamps correctly. However, with some sources and distributed deployments, you might need to configure how timestamps are extracted, to ensure they are formatted properly.
There are two ways to configure timestamp extraction:
- Use the "Set Sourcetype" page in Splunk Web to interactively adjust timestamps on sample data. Once you are happy with the results, you can save the changes to a new source type and then apply that source type to your data inputs. See The Set Sourcetype page.
- Edit props.conf directly, as explained in this topic.
If you have Splunk Enterprise and need to modify timestamp extraction, perform the configuration on your indexer machines or, if you forward data, use heavy forwarders and perform the configuration on the machines where the heavy forwarders run. If you have Splunk Cloud and need to modify timestamp extraction, use heavy forwarders and perform the configuration on the machines where the heavy forwarders run.
The timestamp processor
The timestamp processor resides at
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/datetime.xml by default. You do not need to touch this file normally, unless you work with unusual, custom timestamps. If you need to configure timestamp recognition in some way, you can make the necessary changes by setting
props.conf timestamp attributes, as described later in this topic.
If you have a custom timestamp that cannot be handled by configuring
props.conf, substitute your own timestamp processor with the
DATETIME_CONFIG attribute. This attribute specifies the file to be used by Splunk software for timestamp processing.
Edit timestamp properties in props.conf
To configure how Splunk software recognizes timestamps, edit props.conf. There are a number of attributes that pertain to timestamps. In particular, you can determine how Splunk software recognizes a timestamp by using the
TIME_FORMAT attribute to specify a
strptime() format for the timestamp.
You can also set other attributes that pertain to timestamps. This includes specifying where to look in an event for a timestamp, what time zone to use, or how to deal with timestamps of varying currency.
Edit the
props.conf file in
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ or in your own custom application directory in
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/. For information on configuration files in general, see About configuration files in the Admin manual.
To set timestamp recognition, configure one or more of the timestamp attributes in
props.conf. Refer to the props.conf specification file for detailed information regarding these and other attributes.
Syntax overview
An overview of the syntax for the timestamp attributes follows:
[<spec>] DATETIME_CONFIG = <filename relative to $SPLUNK_HOME> TIME_PREFIX = <regular expression> MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = <integer> TIME_FORMAT = <strptime-style format> TZ = <POSIX time zone string> MAX_DAYS_AGO = <integer> MAX_DAYS_HENCE = <integer> MAX_DIFF_SECS_AGO = <integer> MAX_DIFF_SECS_HENCE = <integer>
In this syntax,
<spec> can be:
<sourcetype>, the source type of an event.
host::<host>, where
<host>is the host value for an event.
source::<source>, where
<source>is the source value for an event.
If an event contains data that matches the value of
<spec>, then the timestamp rules specified in the stanza apply to that event. You can have multiple stanzas, to handle different
<spec> values.
Timestamp validity attributes and their impact on events
By default, all events are indexed, unless you specifically filter out events through other means.
When you set the
MAX_DIFF_SECS_AGO, or
MAX_DIFF_SECS_HENCE attributes in a stanza, and event timestamps fall outside of the parameters of the attributes, then the software uses the following algorithm to determine the timestamp:
- The software uses the timestamp of the previous event to assign the timestamp of the current event.
- If the timestamp of the previous event can't be determined, then the software uses the current index time to assign a timestamp to the event.
Events are not dropped if they fall outside of the parameters of these attributes.
Timestamp attributes
You can set the following timestamp attributes with
DATETIME_CONFIG = <filename relative to $SPLUNK_HOME>
|Specify a file to use to configure the Splunk timestamp processor.
Under normal circumstances, you do not need to create your own timestamp processor file or modify the default
Note: Both
TIME_PREFIX = <regular expression>
|When set, Splunk software uses the specified regular expression to looks for a match before attempting to extract a timestamp. The timestamp algorithm only looks for a timestamp in the event text that follows the end of the first regular expression match.
You should use a regular expression that points exactly before your event's timestamp. For example, if the timestamp follows the phrase
If the
|empty string
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = <integer>
|Specify how far (how many characters) into an event Splunk software should look for a timestamp.
This constraint is applied starting from the location positioned by TIME_PREFIX.
For example, if TIME_PREFIX positions a location 11 characters into the event, and MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD is set to 10, timestamp extraction will be constrained to characters 11 through 20.
If set to 0 or -1, the length constraint for timestamp recognition is effectively disabled. This can have negative performance implications which scale with the length of input lines (or with event size when LINE_BREAKER is redefined for event splitting).
|128 characters
TIME_FORMAT = <strptime-style format>
|Specifies a
strptime() format string to extract the timestamp.
For best results, the
|empty string
TZ = <timezone_identifier>
|The time zone of an event is determined as follows:
For more details and examples, see Specify time zones of timestamps in this manual.
|empty string
TZ_ALIAS = <key=value>[,<key=value>]...
|Provides admin-level control over how time zone strings extracted from events are interpreted. For example, EST can mean Eastern (US) Standard Time or Eastern (Australian) Standard Time. There are many other three letter time zone acronyms with multiple expansions.
There is no requirement to use
Has no effect on the
The setting is a list of
The key is matched against the text of the time zone specifier of the event, and the value is the time zone specifier to use when mapping the timestamp to UTC/GMT.
The value is another
|not set
MAX_DAYS_AGO = <integer>
|Specifies the maximum number of days in the past, from the current date, that an extracted date can be valid.
For example, if
The maximum settable number of days in the past is 10951.
|2000 days
Note: If you have data that is more than 2000 days old, increase this setting.
MAX_DAYS_HENCE = <integer>
|Specifies the maximum number of days in the future from the current date that an extracted date can be valid.
For example, if
Note: False positives are less likely with a tighter window. Change this attribute with caution.
If your servers have the wrong date set or are in a time zone that is one day ahead, set this value to at least 3.
This allows timestamp extractions that are up to a day in the future.
The maximum settable number of days is 10950.
|2 days
MAX_DIFF_SECS_AGO = <integer>
|If the event timestamp is more than
<integer> seconds before the previous timestamp, Splunk software accepts it only if it has the same time format as the majority of timestamps from the source.
If your timestamps are wildly out of order, consider increasing this value.
The maximum settable number of seconds is 2147483646.
|3600 seconds (1 hour)
MAX_DIFF_SECS_HENCE = <integer>
|If the event's timestamp is more than
<integer> seconds after the previous timestamp, Splunk only accepts it if it has the same time format as the majority of timestamps from the source.
If your timestamps are wildly out of order, or if you have logs that are written less than once a week, consider increasing this value.
The maximum settable number of seconds is 2147483646.
|604800 seconds (1 week)
Enhanced strptime() support
Use the
TIME_FORMAT attribute in
props.conf to configure timestamp parsing. This attribute takes a
strptime() format string, which it uses to extract the timestamp.
Splunk software implements an enhanced version of Unix strptime() that supports additional formats, allowing for microsecond, millisecond, any time width format, and some additional time formats for compatibility. The additional formats include:
|For GNU date-time nanoseconds. Specify any sub-second parsing by providing the width: %3N = milliseconds, %6N = microseconds, %9N = nanoseconds.
|For milliseconds, microseconds for Apache Tomcat. %Q and %q can format any time resolution if the width is specified.
|For hours on a 12-hour clock format. If %I appears after %S or %s (like "%H:%M:%S.%l"), it takes on the log4cpp meaning of milliseconds.
|For standard Unix date format timestamps.
|For BSD and OSX standard date format.
|The time zone abbreviation (nothing if there is no time zone information.)
|%z, %:z, %::z
|The time zone offset designator in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8601 format (for example, -0800 for PST, +0000 for GMT, or nothing if the time zone cannot be determined.) Use
%:z if the timestamp offset contains hours and minutes (for example,
-08:00) and
%::z if the timestamp offset contains hours, minutes, and seconds (for example,
|For AIX timestamp support (%o used as an alias for %Y).
|The locale's equivalent of AM or PM. (Note: there may be none.)
|Epoch (10 digits)
Note: A strptime() expression that ends with a literal dot and subsecond specifier such as %Q, %q, %N treats the terminal dot and conversion specifier as optional. If the .subseconds portion is absent from the text, the timestamp is still extracted.
strptime() format expression examples
Here are some sample date formats, with the
strptime() expressions that handle them:
|1998 years, 312 days
|%Y years, %j days
|Jan 24, 2003
|%b %d, %Y
|January 24, 2003
|%B %d, %Y
Note: Splunk software does not recognize non-English month names in timestamps. If you have an app that writes non-English month names to log files, reconfigure the app to use numerical months, if possible.
Your data might contain an easily recognizable timestamp, such as:
To extract that timestamp, add this stanza in
[host::foo] TIME_PREFIX = FOR: TIME_FORMAT = %m/%d/%y
Another example that includes time zone information:
Valid_Until=Thu Dec 31 17:59:59 GMT-06:00 2020
To extract the timestamp, add this to
[host::bar] TIME_PREFIX = Valid_Until= TIME_FORMAT = %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z%z %Y
Your data might contain other information that is parsed as timestamps, for example:
1989/12/31 16:00:00 Wed May 23 15:40:21 2007...
Splunk software extracts the date as Dec 31, 1989, which is not useful. In this case, configure
props.conf to extract the correct timestamp from events from
[host::foo] TIME_PREFIX = \d{4}/\d{2}/\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} \w+\s TIME_FORMAT = %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
This configuration assumes that all timestamps from
host::foo are in the same format. Configure your
props.conf stanza to be as granular as possible to avoid potential timestamping errors.
For more information on extracting the correct timestamp from events containing multiple timestamps, see Configure timestamp assignment for events with multiple timestamps.
Configure timestamps for specific needs
You can use the attributes described in this topic to configure the timestamp extraction processor for some specialized purposes, such as:
- To apply time zone offsets.
- To pull the correct timestamp from events with more than one timestamp.
- To improve indexing performance.
Configure how timestamps appear in search results
You can use your browser locale setting to configure how Splunk Web displays timestamps in search results. For information on setting the browser locale, see User language and locale.
Reconfigure how timestamps appear in raw data
Even though Splunk software uses the browser locale to configure how timestamps appear in search results, the raw data still remains in its original format. You might want to change this so that the data format is standardized in both raw data and search results. Do this with
props.conf and
transforms.conf. Here is an example:
Assume the timestamp data in the raw event looks like this:
but you want it to look like this (to correspond with how it appears in search results):
This example shows briefly how you can use
props.conf and
transforms.conf to transform the timestamp in the raw event.
transforms.conf, add this stanza:
[resortdate] REGEX = ^(\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{4})\s([^/]+) FORMAT = $2/$1/$3 $4 DEST_KEY = _raw
props.conf, add this stanza, where
<spec> qualifies your data:
[<spec>] TRANSFORMS-sortdate = resortdate

How timestamp assignment works
Configure timestamp assignment for events with multiple timestamps
This documentation applies to the following versions of Splunk® Enterprise: 6.3.0, 6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.5, 6.3.6, 6.3.7, 6.3.8, 6.3.9, 6.3.10, 6.3.11, 6.3.12, 6.3.13, 6.3.14, 6.4.0, 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.4.3, 6.4.4, 6.4.5, 6.4.6, 6.4.7, 6.4.8, 6.4.9, 6.4.10, 6.4.11, 6.5.0, 6.5.1, 6.5.1612 (Splunk Cloud only), 6.5.2, 6.5.3, 6.5.4, 6.5.5, 6.5.6, 6.5.7, 6.5.8, 6.5.9, 6.5.10, 6.6.0, 6.6.1, 6.6.2, 6.6.3, 6.6.4, 6.6.5, 6.6.6, 6.6.7, 6.6.8, 6.6.9, 6.6.10, 6.6.11, 6.6.12
how do you assign TIME to a field called "time" in your sourcetype definition?
Where should i put timestamp configurations?
1. If you are using INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = <.. > then put it to the server where INDEXED_EXTRACTION is configured.
2. If you are using Heavy forwarder then put it in the heavy forwarder
3. If you are using Indexer only then put it in the indexers.
"For GNU date-time nanoseconds." The only thing GNU here is the %N convention. "For milliseconds, microseconds for Apache Tomcat." This is not for apache tomcat. It's just accepting the %Q and %q conventions used by apache tomcat. "For standard Unix date formats". Unix does not have a standard date format. Unix "time_t" or seconds from epoch are what you're looking for here. Saying %v is "standard bsd osx" is unhelpful. Say " 1-Jan-2012", though I don't see the point of ever using this. %Z behavior underdefined . what does "nothing" mean? Probably it's UTC if not recognized. :-/
Hi Lguinn,
I'm researching this now, but I would like to think that yes, we do, since we support an enhanced version of the format.
I will confirm and update here. Thanks for your patience.
Does the Splunk implementation of strptime support %t and %n? Also, I think the specification for these has changed within the last few years. What rev of the strptime standard does Splunk support?
Hi BradTaylor,
You're right, it does look like the examples you show are missing the strptime token for day of week. I think the second does account for the day of week because of the \w+\s regular expression, but the first one is a no-brainer. I'll fix this.
For these two examples:
Valid_Until=Thu Dec 31 17:59:59 GMT-06:00 2020
TIME_PREFIX = Valid_Until=
TIME_FORMAT = %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z%z %Y
...1989/12/31 16:00:00 Wed May 23 15:40:21 2007...
TIME_PREFIX = \d{4}/\d{2}/\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} \w+\s
TIME_FORMAT = %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
The timestamps both have Day of Week tokens. But there is no %a leading strptime token to capture that. (Maybe it's not required in the second example because of the \w+\s regex pattern... fair enough. But what about the first one?)
HI Graham Hannington,
I am still researching information on your previous comment. I should have answers for you shortly (though it will likely not be until after .conf.)
I'll make updates to the topic again at that time based on that information.
Some nits in the description of "%z, %:z, %::z":
- Missing closing parenthesis.
- Misplaced periods next to closing parentheses. Unless parentheses enclose a complete sentence, the period should follow the closing parenthesis.
- "ISO-8601-style"? All those hyphens! "Numeric"? I get that you're distinguishing these formats from the uppercase %Z, but since you namecheck ISO 8601, perhaps use its terminology. "ISO 8601 zone designator"? (And I have "Hyphenate compound adjectives" tattooed in blackletter across my midriff!)
- Consistency: timezone (one word) versus time zone (two: this is the term that ISO 8601 uses).
All minor, but this stuff sticks out to me like dogs' balls. Yes, my problem, but these comments give me the opportunity to vent ;-).
Suggestion: rewrite in a tabular, reference style, as per other formats. Rather than nesting the descriptions, three separate rows. Or reuse:
In practice, the %6N (note the width: 6 decimal places, for microsecond precision) in
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%6N%:z
also recognizes time stamps with millisecond precision (3 decimal places).
That is, Splunk correctly recognizes both of the following time stamps (and Splunk Web displays them correctly):
2016-09-23 08:00:00.123+08:00
2016-09-23 08:00:00.123456+08:00
with or without the trailing zone designator (+08:00)
Shrug. So what?
Here's why it matters to me: I'm documenting example .conf stanzas for ingesting data from an application that I'm helping to develop. Users can configure that application to output time stamps with millisecond or microsecond precision. I was wondering whether I'd have to warn users about specifying the correct "sub-second width", %3N or %6N, in TIME_FORMAT. Turns out I don't have to: %6N works for both.
Splunk, please feel free to correct me.
Hi all,
I've made updates to the page to better clarify the %Z and %[:][:]z strptime() settings. Zerone is correct in that the colons in the %z setting represent how to split the timezone offset. The %:::z setting is a typo and has been removed.
%z works for +1000 (-1000), will stop at +10 for time offset of +10:00 or +10:00:00
%:z works for +1000 (-1000) and +10:00 (-10:00), will stop at +10:00 for time offset of +10:00:00
%::z works for +1000 (-1000) and +10:00:00 (-10:00:00), will error for (+10:00 or -10:00), will stop at +10:00:00 for time offset of +10:00:00:00
Could you please provide more detail in this topic, or a link to details elsewhere, on the formats (the IEEE/Open Group doc refers to these as "conversion specifications") for time zones?
I discovered in Splunk Answers that the following format:
(note the single colon)
was what I needed to match an ISO 8601 extended format zone designator such as:
but this Splunk docs topic does not mention that specific format (%:z, with the single colon).
The topic *does* mention "GNU libc support", but the topic at the following link:
only mentions %z and %Z, not any variants with colons. (That is, %z matches a "basic format" ISO 8601 zone designator such as +0800, not an "extended format" designator with a colon separator.)
Hi Woodcock,
Splunk Enterprise never drops events if event timestamps are outside of the acceptable window. The default for MAX_DAYS_AGO is 2000 which means that timestamps can be askew for nearly 5 1/2 years before the software has to decide what to do with the events. In nearly all cases, it uses the timestamp of the previous event. If it can't determine the timestamp of the previous event, it uses the time that the event was indexed. The default for MAX_DAYS_HENCE is 2, but the resolution logic is the same.
For MAX_DAYS_AGO and MAX_DAYS_HENCE, when the timestamp is outside of the acceptable window, what happens when "the date is ignored"? Does it:
1: Use _indextime?
2: Use the timestamp of the previous event?
3: Drop the event entirely?
This detail should be included in the documentation.

I love this recipe! When I make it, I mix everything together (omitting lettuce and olives) and bake in the oven for about 30 min. I also add an Italian seasoning. Everyone loves it!
Apr 4, 2013
I do something similar with fish...but we prefer corn tortillas...and use broccoli slaw mixed with the lettuce for additional nutrition...omit the sugar...it's not needed!
Apr 4, 2013
I used nonfat cheese, non fat cooking spray, I used half the lime juice, we wrapped ours in lettuce. halfed the lemon juice and sugar. A bit healthier and still delicious.

There are times when we should have 'six stars.' This would be one. Only additional thought would be do the roll ups and a 'quick fry' to toast the 'shell.'"Good Eats!"

SKF Universal Joint Bearings
SKF Universal Joint Bearings in commercial vehicles offer two essential advantages: The concept is both cost saving and extremely environmentally friendly. With regard to costs, freedom from maintenance means that approx. 60 inspection intervals can be saved over the entire service life of one million kilometers. Moreover, relubrication and corresponding cleaning efforts at workshops are a thing of the past. This also applies to downtimes necessitated by the regreasing of the propeller shafts.

Like most radio stations in Kenya, Pamoja FM broadcasts hours of African music, reggae, and hip-hop – as well as mellow encouragements to remain calm and nonviolent during the country's worst political crisis since independence in 1963.
Located in Kibera, the largest slum in Nairobi, Pamoja (which means "together" in Swahili) and its staff of volunteers provide news for a shantytown of 1.2 million that has become ground zero for the ethnic clashes that have killed more than 500 people and displaced more than 250,000 since the disputed Dec. 27 presidential election.
"We're doing news, but we don't incite people," says Mohammad Abubakr, a hip young volunteer who runs the midday reggae show, aimed at Kibera's youth. Normally, Mr. Abubakr's show covers topics such as the need to avoid drugs, gangs, and teen pregnancy, but since the political crisis, Pamoja has become a clearing house for the sort of basic information that people would need after a hurricane or other natural disaster.
"We don't tell them [who should be] president, and make them want to fight," says Abubakr. "We tell them the situation in Kibera, which shops are open, where there is food, where there is fuel, where they can buy airtime for their cellphones."
Kenya's spasms of violence have waned, but long-simmering ethnic tensions in what was until now East Africa's most stable and prosperous nation remain at boiling point.
A flurry of high-level diplomatic efforts in the past week have failed to garner an agreement between populist opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki, whom Mr. Odinga accuses of stealing the vote.
African Union mediator John Kufuor, the president of Ghana, announced Thursday that the two rivals agreed to work with a panel of eminent Africans led by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan. But Mr. Kibaki's move Thursday to swear in half of his Cabinet without giving any seats to Odinga's party, even though they were expected to discuss power sharing, will not make talks any easier, experts say.
Tight control of the media
Since violence broke out, Kenyan broadcasters have come under tight governmental scrutiny. Live broadcasts were banned, and any statements deemed to be political or incendiary have been dealt with harshly. Pamoja itself has steered clear of politics since election day, using a kind of self-censorship – but even that approach has not prevented the station from receiving threats.
Kibera, a down-and-out slum, has become a tinderbox of political frustration. Armed gangs now prowl the streets with machetes, targeting houses and shops owned by members of Kibaki's ethnic group, the Kikuyus. Many Kikuyus have been forced to leave Kibera, destroying the tentative coexistence that prevailed before.
Pamoja FM was created to bring news to the community, not just the crime and the misery, but the hope and the opportunities as well.
"Most Kenyans think Kibera is the worst place in the world, but for us, Kibera is the safest place in the world, because this is where our families are," says Adam Hussein, station manager and cofounder of Pamoja FM, and resident of Kibera. Newspapers cover Kibera only when something bad happens, but Pamoja focuses on information that Kibera residents can actually use to improve their lives. "Since we started this station, people of Kibera are very happy, because at least they can hear what is happening in their own community."
Funded by donations and the pocket money of the station's founders – with equipment donated by several politicians, including Odinga – Pamoja plays dance music to attract listeners, interspersed with news, talk-shows, and informational programs, targeted at specific audiences.
Something for everyone
For youths, Pamoja plays local Kenyan music by up-and-coming musicians from 7-10 a.m., and reggae from 2-4 p.m. For housewives, Pamoja plays traditional East African music from 10 a.m. to noon. For sports lovers, reporters like Fatuma Adan – an unlikely sports fanatic in traditional Muslim veil – give the play-by-play action for local matches.
Abubakr sticks to old-school reggae favorites by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Jimmy Cliff. In between songs, he talks about health and educational programs set up by local and international aid groups to reach Kibera's youths. He invites experts to talk about the health effects of drug abuse, the dangers of unprotected sex, the need for boys to avoid gangs, and young girls to avoid prostitution. The subjects might not please Kibera's traditional Muslim residents, but Abubakr's positive message and push for improvement gives them few reasons to grumble.
"People in Kibera are so poor, the levels of infrastructure are so severe, it is utterly unimaginable that human beings can be allowed to live there," says Njeri Kabeberi, executive director of the Center for Multiparty Democracy in Nairobi.
"Nobody asks what can we do to improve life there," she adds, but news reports about Kibera, such as those reported by Pamoja, can make a difference, informing local residents about their own conditions, and forcing political leaders to take notice.
Despite its even-handed strategy toward political parties – or perhaps because of it – Pamoja received threats last week from gangs in the streets of Kibera, who wanted to burn down the apartment building where Pamoja broadcasts. The reason: the building is owned by a Kikuyu.
Yet Pamoja volunteers such as Mohammad, Fatuma, Adam, and others keep showing up for work, and Kibera residents continue to tune in for news about their own town.
"So many people in the ghetto have no way to express themselves," says Abubakr. "These are people with talent, people with ideas, people who are oppressed. And through radio, we can reach them."

Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC) today reported a loss of $5.40 in diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations for the fiscal second quarter of 2009 and diluted EPS from continuing operations before special items of $0.55 per share. Revenue in the quarter of $4.2 billion declined 15% versus the prior year, mostly due to the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Organic revenue declined 5.5% in the quarter.
Second quarter income from continuing operations was negatively impacted by special items, which totaled $2.8 billion after tax or $5.95 per share
"The diversified nature of our business mix, including our recurring and service revenue, combined with the actions we have taken to reduce our cost structure, allowed us to exceed our earnings guidance this quarter despite the difficult conditions in the global economy," said Tyco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ed Breen. "We continue to aggressively manage our cost structure and working capital, generate strong cash flow and invest in our businesses for long-term growth."
Baldacci and Dr. Dora Anne Mills of the Maine Center for Disease Control said all three victims are adults who are recovering at home, two from Kennebec County in central Maine and one from York County in the southernmost part of the state.
Details were limited. One of those stricken had a "travel history," Mills said.
According to the guidelines, the schools and day care will be closed for seven calendar days. Parents are advised to keep their children home.
State officials say if the children exhibit symptoms such as fever and respiratory symptoms, parents should bring their children to a medical professional to be examined. If their children exhibit none of those symptoms and feel well, parents should monitor their children for signs, but do not need to take action.

Note: Elaine Lane is the founder of David's Shoes, an organization based out of Irvington, New Jersey, that is "Helping Children and Teens Honor Life." Inspired by AFSC's "Eyes Wide Open" exhibit, Elaine is collecting 3792 shoes to start her own exhibit, commemorating the number of children killed by gun violence in the United States in 1998, the year her own son was killed. I met up with her in AFSC's Newark office, where she was meeting with AFSC staff to talk about her work against teen violence. We spoke about the mission of her work and how it has changed her life.
Madeline Schaefer (MS): Could you start by telling me the story of David's shoes?
Elaine Lane (EL): In 1998, David was killed as a result of teen violence. The young man who killed him was a year younger than he was— David was 18, the young man who killed him was 17. At least, the young man who I believe killed him, because he was found not-guilty.
As a result of all of this I went into a deep depression for many years and really had to seek counseling. After years of counseling that cloud of grief began to lift and I began to see what was happening in our society, and it seemed like every other day a child had been killed, and this was going on and on and on.
I am a teacher and an educator and love being around kids and I just knew that I had to do something about this. Not knowing what to do, I was looking for some space to work in, trying already organized organizations that just didn't seem to fit. I tried Million Mom's March and still am a member of Million Mom's March but knew that was not enough for me.
I went to see this exhibit of these shoes by the American Friends Service Committee. I saw the boots—that didn't bother me too much. But I saw the shoes of these innocent human beings. I saw the shoes of little kids and what seemed to be older adults, all different sizes, male and female. We were invited to walk that path.
I tried, I honestly did try. And I realized that I couldn't. I just felt the energy in those shoes was just too strong for me to walk through that path. I went around the side to look at it.
When I went home, I said you know, wow, if those shoes affected me that way, then maybe, just maybe the shoes of young people who have been killed as a result of teen violence would affect other teens. And that gave me the idea of starting.
I remembered that I had my son's shoes, that the police department had sent the clothes that he had on when he was killed. I said, okay, I still have his shoes.
Then it just dawned on me that I could go to schools. Because I do love kids, I do love being around them, I do respect them. And I could go to schools and talk to students about honoring their lives.
I honestly feel that many kids, though they've heard of violence and everything else, they don't know, they haven't seen someone who's been impacted by it. Some have, many have, but there are others who haven't. So I'm this visual representation. I've been impacted by it but I don't call myself a victim of it.
My goal is to get them to honor their lives. So we talk about what happened to me, I talk about the day that I heard about his death and then I go into talking about the importance of honoring your life. My tag is "David's shoes: Helping children and teens honor life." And that's all I want them to do. I want them to understand how important they are. I want them to understand that they are a gift. And I want them to treat themselves as such. If they treat themselves as such, others will treat them as such.
One of the things that I say when I talk, I ask the students, "Who is the most important person in your life?" And the kids say, "My mother, my father, my sister, my brother,"…now kids are beginning to understand and I get a few who know the answer: You are the most important person in your life. And if you treat yourself as that, you can treat mother, father, sister, brother as an important person. But if you can't treat yourself as the most important person, you can't treat anybody else.
I ask them, "Why won't I give you a million dollars?" And that's a really funny part of the conversation. Kids come up with all different kinds of answers and sometimes, every once in a while, kids say "'cause you don't have it." And I say "You're right, I don't have it. Even if I wanted to give it to you, I don't have it. I cannot give something away that I do not have. It's the same thing with love; it's the same thing with respect. If you do not have love for yourself, you cannot give it to anybody else. So I'm here asking you to develop, to work on this love and respect for yourself, so that you are able to share it with someone else."
MS: When did you learn the meaning of honoring your life?
EL: I think I'm still learning. We have a pledge, we have an honor life pledge, and at the end of each presentation we say the pledge. I got to the point where I said to myself, "You know what, you gotta look at your life and you gotta make sure that you are at least attempting to do these things because if not, then you are being false, you're not being honest with these kids." And that's the last thing I want to do with kids; I want to be as honest as I possibly can. So I try to live by that pledge as well.
I think to a certain extent it was a part of me. But as I look at the pledge I know there are still areas in my life that I need to work on and I will continue to work on them for the rest of my life. And I think that's almost true for everybody. We don't all have it all and so it gives us an opportunity to work towards it.
MS: Violence seems to be something you're passionately against.
EL: Absolutely, absolutely. Life is so precious and I think that it's our responsibility to treat it as such. It's our responsibility to respect it; to respect ourselves as well as respecting other people.
I remember a week before [my son's] funeral, my mother came up from South Carolina with one of my sisters, and one sister came down from New York, another from California— everybody was at the house.
And the conversation in the living room was about people burglarizing or coming into the house or stealing from them, and it went on to "If you have to shoot 'em, shoot 'em"… Wait a minute people, my son was just killed as a result of that kind of attitude, you know? It was just scary, I just left them, I had to leave them, and I went upstairs.
I know they weren't trying to be mean, they just forgot about where they were and what was going on. But there are too many of us who take that kind of attitude too casually. Material stuff is material stuff, people replace it. You cannot replace a life. You cannot.
MS: A lot of the work that you do involves telling your story about your son and your experience. What has that been like, sharing your story again and again?
EL: The story has not changed, basically. For the first four or five years, I wouldn't mention my son's name— I did not mention his name. If you did not know I had a kid, then you did not know I had a kid that's all there is to it.
So when I got to the point where I was able to tell the story, it began to open up the relationship that I have with my son even now in his death. It began to help me to accept it. There are so many different factors, I think, between you and your child. And when all those issues haven't had the opportunity to be worked out, then you've got all this mess in your lap and you say "Well what do I do."
Well I think that I've been able to, one by one, begin to make some headway with that. It seems to me there are some people whose grief didn't paralyze them as much as mine paralyzed me. I say it seems because I'm not too sure, because I know I've put on a front, so maybe some of them are doing the same thing.
It's beginning to open me up; what I'm doing is beginning to open me up. It's beginning to be a healing for me and hopefully is an inspiration or a healing for somebody else.

Today is 9/11.
Two years ago I dedicated my 9-11 post to the memory of Nancy Morgenstern, one of the victims. Go see it, it's worth reading.
In a poll for the University of Maryland, people were asked who they thought was behind the attack.
On average, only 46% believe that Al-Qaida was behind the attack. 15% believe the US was behind it. 7% believe that Israel masterminded it. One in four doesn't have any idea who was behind it.
43 percent of Egyptians say Israel was responsible.
The poll, managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, of surveyed 16,063 people July 15 to Aug. 31. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3-4 percent.
On IDF radio this morning, a professor from Tel Aviv University was asked about Islamic Fundamentalism and 9/11, and out of the blue, he started comparing "Noar HaGvaot" (hilltop youth) with Islamic fundamentalists. To his credit, the reporter was slightly incredulous that the interview had just made such a bizzare turn, and he said, "Noar HaGvaot have never done anything like this, how can you make such a comparison?!" The TAU professor replied, "they are very similar in their mindset, and I worry that 9-11 done by Al-Alqaida was only the beginning and that Jewish extremists like Noar HaGvaot will do the next [mega attack.]"
The hatred from Israeli's left knows no bounds -- and using 9-11 as a springboard to bash "Noar HaGvaot" and Israel's right wing is particularly offensive.

Used Mobile Home - Be Careful
Why consider used mobile homes? My own first home was a mobile on a small lot. I bought it for $19,500. With the mortgage payments it was still cheaper than renting, plus I paid it off quickly and later sold it for $45,000. Obviously you can live cheap and build equity with a mobile home. (Buying may be the equivalent of cheap rent, but this article is about mobiles that are on real estate.)
The primary advantages of mobiles over traditional houses are clear for first time home buyers. It may be the only option, for starters. Then there is the lower initial price, the simpler, cheaper maintenance, lower monthly payments, less property tax, lower insurance cost, and perhaps even faster equity build-up (I explain this in another article). Mobile homes do have their own unique problems, so be sure to watch for the following.
Problems With Used Mobile Homes
Sometimes the age of a mobile home makes it tough to finance. If it can be financed, it may be at a very high interest rate. Check into this before making an offer, and take the higher payments into account when comparing your options.
The age of is also a big factor when it comes to insurance. Certain older homes may just be uninsurable. See if you can obtain insurance at a reasonable rate before buying.
Some mobile homes built before 1976 have aluminum wiring. This is a fire hazard because the chemical reaction between the aluminum and other metals cause the wiring to break down, eventually leading to sparking inside the walls (not good). Remove any of the electrical outlet or switch covers, and look inside with a flashlight. If the bare ends of the wires are silvery looking, they are probably aluminum, and you may have to rewire the home to get it insured.
Look for stains on the ceilings. Used mobile homes are prone to leaks. If it is raining and the stains are dry, the leaks have probably been repaired, but if there are many dark stains, at least ask for how long the roof leaked. Leaks that were quickly repaired may not have done much, if any, damage to the supporting beams, but if the roof is seriously sagging there may be rotten wood up there.
Look for wavy walls and crooked door frames. If the mobile is irregularly settling, the walls will sometimes show it. It may also show in the door frames, so see if the gap over the doors is straight in relation to the frame.
Check for spongy floors. Many mobiles have particle-board for floors. If these floors get wet, they can warp and rot. Step down hard here and there to test, especially in the bathroom. I've had to rebuild two bathroom floors in mobile homes. Around the toilet is a common place to find problems, because of the condensation from the toilet running down and soaking the wood around it. Is the toilet level or leaning?
Most of these problems can be resolved, and for much less than in a traditional house, so if there are issues, you may want to see them as an opportunity to make a lower offer. Alternately, you can just avoid the mobiles with problems. In any case, don't give up on owning your own home due to high prices. Just look for good used mobile homes.

Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2013 | Pictures
Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2013 (Plus, Accessories!)
Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2013 (Plus, Accessories!)
Oscar de la Renta's collections tend to run wide and deep, and his Pre-Fall 2013 offering is no different.
But what was different about this show was the designer's experimenting with a new silhouette: slightly high-waisted A-line skirts that stopped just below the calves. These were paired with jackets cut from the same cloth, or belted with shirts tucked in.
The rest of the collection featured all of de la Renta's customary treatments, but they were applied with a lighter hand. The jewels we saw decorating his Spring 2013 and Fall 2012 collections were restricted here to necklaces, brooches, and the crystals applied to a selection of evening gowns, and floral embellishments that are so much a part of his language were mostly confined to prints.
One pale blue dress cleverly used pink and blue paillettes to simulate blurry, pixelated roses. The model walked by as Marvin Gaye belted out the lyrics to "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," but we'd be just as happy with the roses on this dress as a bouquet of live blooms.

Hunting Safely
What we call Hunter Education used to be called Hunter Safety. In 1949, New York became the first state to require young hunters to take a hunter safety course. Many hunters didn't know how to handle firearms safely, and hunting accidents occurred at an alarming rate. To make hunting safer, experienced hunters organized classes to teach others basic safety techniques. It worked. There are now fewer hunting accidents.
Montana began offering voluntary Hunter Education classes in the late 1940s, and in 1957 classes became mandatory for all hunters under the age of 18. Today anyone born after January 1, 1985, must complete hunter education before they can buy a hunting license in Montana.
Hunting, like the public view of it, has changed over the years. As a result, Hunter Education has had to change, too. Safety is still a big part of Hunter Education, but today's classes also teach responsibility and ethics.

Arnica Oil
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Arnica Oil
Arnica Oil is an oil that is extracted from Arnica Montana, a perennial plant that is commonly found in both Siberian and European mountain ranges. The plant is also grown in the mountains of North America and Canada.
The essential Arnica Oil is extremely toxic and must not be used in aromatherapy. The essential oils should be stored separately from other essential oils. The infused Arnica Oil is the preparation that is actually safe to use.
History and Origin
Arnica Oil comes from Arnica Montana, which is also called Wolf's Bane, Leopard's Bane, Mountain Tobacco, and Mountain Arnica. The plant grows about two feet and has yellow-orange flowers and the leaves are bright green, hairy and round tipped. The fresh or dried yellow daisy-like flowers are the parts used for medicinal preparations and for the preparation of infused oil.
The infused Arnica Oil is achieved by mixing one part dried Arnica Montana Flowers and five parts of any vegetable oil. Place the dried flowers inside a glass jar and pour over the vegetable oil. Cover the jar with a paper towel and secure with a canning ring or rubber band. Let it stand for about six weeks making sure the flowers are under the oil. After the prescribed period, strain the oil with a strainer and pour back into a jar or bottle, cover with a cap and label as infused Arnica Oil.
Traditionally, in the European and North American region, Arnica Oil was largely used for the remedy of inflammations and muscles pains. It was most beneficial for inflammation caused by insect bites and for rheumatic pain. Arnica Oil was believed to help in the stimulation of blood circulation.
Ancient Uses
Native North American Indians and Europeans generally used Arnica Oil for the healing of wounds, and for the reduction of inflammation, and soothing of muscle aches. Arnica oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities which is why it can reduce swelling and pain and improves the overall healing process of wounds.
Modern Uses
Arnica Oil is highly beneficial for the treatment of bruises, acne, inflammation from insect bites, Hair Loss (used by rubbing on scalp, but first make sure there is no broken skin), muscle aches, sprains, rheumatic pain, superficial phlebitis, pulled muscles, tendon strain, wound, and swelling due to fractures.
Arnica Oil when used for external purposes should be infused with vegetable oil. The infused oil is very beneficial for injured muscles and excellent as massage oil for sore muscles and sport injuries because it helps to minimize bruising and to relax tensed muscles.
Side Effects
Arnica Oil is not advised to be used internally. When it should be internally administered, the administration must be done by a naturopath, health practitioner, or a professional herbalist. Arnica Oil when taken internally may cause heart irregularities, dizziness, increased heart rate, nervous disturbances, mucous membrane irritation, stomach irritation, tremors, vomiting, and weakness. Arnica Oil is also not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Prolonged external use of Arnica Oil may cause blisters, peeling, eczema, and other irritating skin conditions. Hypersensitive individuals are not advised to use Arnica Oil.

USDA Mandates Nutrition Labeling for Meat
When I come across a new-looking food in the supermarket, one of the first things I do is check the Nutrition Facts. It has become second nature for many consumers to keep an eye on the various fats, nutrients, and vitamins in the vast majority of foods that get such labeling. But it's often difficult or impossible to determine this information for raw meat, as nutrition labels are often absent. New rules passed by the USDA last week will necessitate nutrition labeling on raw meat, providing more accessible information for consumers.
Labeling was mandated for most food products in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, which passed in 1990. However, this legislation only applies to foodstuffs under the purview of the FDA. The USDA wrote up similar legislation for meat and poultry products in 1990, but labeling was voluntary. The new rules, issued on December 29, will "require nutrition labeling of the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products."
Agricultural Secretary Tom Vilsack applauded the new rules, stating that the goal of the program is to provide consumers with as much information about the foods they are eating as possible. Ideally, labels will help Americans "make good solid decisions about how many calories they're consuming and how much activity they need."
Indeed, some consumers may be surprised if they give labels a closer look. We often hear that red meats are particularly high in fat; the labels will illustrate those concerns. A four-ounce portion of ground beef, for example, has 190 calories, more than half of them from fat. While the meat clearly also packs a protein punch and provides many other nutrients, saturated fat intake is important to monitor. If they so wish, consumers will now have an easier time of calculating the health consequences of their hamburgers.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has taken a stance against the labeling standards. One of the CSPI's concerns is that nutrition facts are for a four-ounce portion, even when the meat being sold is a single serving package that is over fur ounces (such as a steak). Less scrupulous consumers could then be misled and underestimate the calories or fat in their portion of meat.
Professor and food policy expert Marion Nestle also takes up issue with the four-ounce serving size provided on labels. Current dietary guidelines call for two to three servings a day of meat or meat substitutes, for a total of four to nine ounces. Increasing serving sizes could lead to recommended daily intake of up to 12 ounces of meat per day—an amount higher than recommended by most health professionals.
While there are qualms with the new labeling, consumers will now have full access to information that previously could have most easily been found on the internet rather than on the package. The labels may have little impact on meat consumption in real terms, but the USDA's decision to make labeling mandatory reflects a desire to increase transparency and perhaps to increase daily recommended meat intake. When the 2010 dietary guidelines are released, it will be interesting to see how meat factors in to the USDA's conception of an ideal daily diet.

Jefferson powers Jazz over Wolves, 97-93
Send a link to a friend
[February 14, 2013]
(AP) -- Al Jefferson had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Paul Millsap scored 21 points to power the Utah Jazz to a 97-93 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Jefferson helped the Jazz overcome a sluggish start against his former team to pick up a rare road win against a Western Conference opponent. The Jazz now have four wins in 17 road games in the West.
Derrick Williams had 24 points and a career-high 16 rebounds and Ricky Rubio had 18 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds for the Timberwolves, who shot a season-low 34 percent.
Nikola Pekovic had 19 points and 13 rebounds and Luke Ridnour scored 18 points for Minnesota, which lost for the 16th time in 19 games.
The Jazz trailed 17-10 after a lifeless first quarter, shooting just 25 percent from the field. But Jefferson and Millsap started flexing their muscle to gradually take control of the game. Big Al spent three seasons in Minnesota after being traded from Boston as part of a package for Kevin Garnett, and he endeared himself to the long-suffering fan base here with his creative low post game.
He was traded to Utah in 2010, partly so the Wolves could make room for Kevin Love in the frontcourt. Love is out with a right hand that is broken for the second time this season, and Jefferson had his way with the rest of the Wolves down low.
The Jazz outscored Minnesota 54-30 in the paint and 43-12 off the bench. In addition to his pump fakes and odd-angle jumpers, Jefferson ripped the ball away from Ridnour and took it the length of the court for a layup to give the Jazz a 60-59 lead in the third quarter.
That seemed to jumpstart the Jazz, who went on a 16-6 run over the next six minutes. Enes Kanter scored six points early in the fourth quarter and Utah led 81-67 midway through the final period.
As they have done so many times this season, the Wolves went on a late run, ripping off nine straight points to pull within 90-86 with 50 seconds to go. Millsap fouled Williams on a 3-pointer 30 seconds later, and he hit all three shots to make it 93-91.
[to top of second column]
But another former Timberwolves player, Randy Foye, hit four free throws down the stretch to put the game away.
Both teams were playing the final game before the All-Star break, and just about everyone appeared to have one eye on the game and one eye on their flight out of town in the early going. Shooting percentages were in the high 20s well into the second quarter and turnovers were rampant.
The break will do both teams a ton of good.
The Wolves have suffered through major injuries all season long. Kevin Love (broken hand), Chase Budinger (knee) and Brandon Roy (knee) have missed most of the season, while Andrei Kirilenko (bruised quad) missed his fifth straight game. J.J. Barea played with a sprained foot that could use a few days off and Ridnour has taken a beating all season long while playing out of position at shooting guard.
The Jazz missed forward Gordon Hayward for the 10th straight game with a sprained right shoulder.
NOTES: This marked the eighth game this season Jefferson and Millsap each scored at least 20 points. ... Kanter, whom the Wolves considered drafting over Williams two years ago, had 10 points and DeMarre Carroll had 11 points and five rebounds.
