It's an obfuscated form of 156.111.114.110, which resolves to
trinity.cpmc.columbia.edu. The URL of
http://trinity.cpmc.columbia.edu/r2/cisco/ccie/NewPlaque01.jpg
gets you the same thing.
This is a trick often used by spammers to try to hide URLs advertised in
junk email. I don't know why the sender went to the trouble of doing
this here, unless there was a desire to hide the origin of
Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. This doesn't make sense as
it was posted from an nyp.org address.
