Sun Microsystems Inc. boosted its quarterly operating profit by 35 percent, edging Wall Street expectations amid brisk sales of networked computers and equipment to Internet companies.
Sun reported yesterday that its profit in the three months ended December 26, its fiscal second quarter, totaled $353 million (21 cents per share). That compares with a profit of $261.4 million (16 cents) after charges for acquisitions, in the year-ago quarter.
Sun, based in Palo Alto, was expected to earn 20 cents per share, according to a survey of analysts by First Call/Thomson Financial. Forecasts published on the Internet shortly before the announcement, called whisper numbers, had predicted per-share earnings as high as 22 cents per share.
Sun, whose earnings were released after the close of regular trading, saw its stock rise $3.38 to a record $86.56 on the Nasdaq Stock Market yesterday as investors anticipated strong profits.
Sun's shares have more than tripled this past year amid brisk sales of network equipment, powerful desktop computers and servers, machines that run computer networks. Driving demand is a growing number of companies planning to create or expand their business on the Internet.
Sun's sales have outpaced rivals IBM Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co., and the company has beat or matched earnings expectations for five consecutive quarters.
"Sun continues to capture market share as we set the agenda in the 'dot com' era," said chief executive Scott McNealy.
Revenues reached $3.55 billion, up 27 percent from $2.78 billion.
For the first six months of the fiscal year, Sun reported net income of $625.5 million (37 cents), up from $372.9 million (23 cents) a year earlier. Revenues rose to $6.7 billion from $5.3 billion.


Rookie Brenton Grove has enlisted Steven Richards to assist his Dunlop Super2 Series effort in Round 3 at Barbagallo this weekend.
Richards will act as a driver coach for the 21-year-old, who graduated from Porsche's GT3 Cup Challenge to the second-tier Supercars class for 2018.
Grove is steering an ex-Craig Lowndes Holden previously co-driven by Richards during its time in the Triple Eight stable.
Four-time Bathurst 1000 winner Richards will again drive with Lowndes in this year's PIRTEK Enduro Cup,teaming up for a fifth straight year.
Grove has had a challenging start to his Super2 season, sitting 20th in the standings with a best finish of 16th from the six races across Adelaide and Symmons Plains.
"I'm excited to jump back into the car, it hasn't been too long since the last race so it should hold me in good stead to pick up where I left off," said Grove.
"I have Steven Richards working with me this weekend to help me with my driving so that is a real positive.
"He is an incredible driver and mentor, so it will be awesome to be able to tap into his knowledge base and hopefully make some really positive gains.
"Steven has obviously worked with guys like Mark Winterbottom and Craig Lowndes and in Supercars, so his knowledge will be invaluable.
"The car I'm driving this season is Craig's car from last year and the one Steve shared with him in the Supercars enduros, so Steve will hopefully be able to help me with setup and car balance because he knows exactly what the car feels like himself.
Grove's Holden is being run by his family's Grove Motorsport operation, with assistance from Super2 stalwarts Eggleston Motorsport.
Eggleston spearhead Paul Dumbrell leads the standings ahead of Barbagallo, 86 points clear of Garry Rogers Motorsport's Chris Pither.

921, Ciechanów – 5 Jan 1945
HISTORY:   Much of this technical, dates and times information was gleaned from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and most importantly the story came by my personal contact and interview with Sam Spitzer, my nephews grandfather in law and my relatives during a trip to Australia.
The family pictures at the Roza Robota gate were taken with Sam Spitzer and my brother Cye Jacobson. Cye's son is married to Sams granddaughter, friends called him "Poppy". Â
I had the rare opportunity to spend quality time with Sam Spitzer and learn of this story, his incredible life of survival and involvement.  I realized how really important  their lives had been, unselfishly and totally devoted to saving others during the most of horrific times.
There were things he disclosed in the too few hours we spent together that went beyond any kind of conduct normal humans are capable of.  From the depths of depravity and torture to the courage of those who fought back, it has a scope too wide to imagine.
It was one of the most remarkable conversations I have ever had. I learned things about the resistance movement during WWII that didn't show on the History channel. I also learned more about the camps and the relentless brutality and inhumanity exhibited there.
Ms. ROSA ROBOTA
(Referred to, variants of spelling in other sources as Rojza, Rozia, or Rosa), was the leader and one of four women hanged in the Auschwitz concentration camp for their role in the Sonderkommando revolt of 7 October 1944.
Born in Ciechanów, Poland, to a middle-class family, Roza had one brother and one sister. She was a member of Hashomer Hatzair Zionist-socialist youth movement, and joined that movement's underground upon the Nazi occupation. Roza often used her Hebrew name, "Shoshanah."
She was transported to Auschwitz in 1942, and was sent to Auschwitz-II, the adjacent Birkenau labor camp for women, where she was involved in the underground dissemination of news among the prisoners.Â
No one else from her family in Europe is known to have survived. She worked in the clothing depot at the Birkenau Effektenlager adjacent to Crematorium III of Birkenau, where the bodies of gas chamber victims were burned. She had been recruited by men of the underground whom she knew from her hometown, to smuggle "schwartzpulver", a rapidly burning compound collected by women in the "Weichsel" munitions factory, transferring it to a Sonderkommando surnamed Wróbel,who was also active in the resistance.Â
This "schwartzpulver" was used to manufacture primitive grenades and possibly to help blow up the crematorium during the Sonderkommando revolt. In her work she was assisted by Hadassa Zlotnicka and AsirGodel Zilber, both also from Ciechanów, whom Robota apparently enlisted in the resistance.Â
Together with a few other women who worked in the Nazi factory's "pulverraum," they were able to obtain, hide, and turn over to the men of the underground no more than one to three teaspoons of the "schwartzpulver" compound per day, and not every day. The Sonderkommando blew up Crematorium III on 6 October 1944.
Robota and three other women – Ala Gertner, Estusia Wajcblum, and Regina Safirsztajn – were arrested by the Gestapo and tortured in the infamous Bloc 23 but they refused to reveal the names of others who participated in the smuggling operation.Â
They were hanged on 5 January 1945 – two women at the morning roll-call assembly, two others in the evening. Robota was 23 years old. According to some eyewitness accounts, she and her comrades shouted "Nekamah" ("Vengeance!"), or "Be Strong" to the assembled inmates before they died. Some say they shouted, "Chazak V'amatz" – "Be strong and have courage", the Biblical phrase that God uses to encourage Joshua after the death of Moses.
The Sonderkommando Revolt caused some 70 fatalities among the SS and kapos, and blew the roof off one crematorium, yet the Nazis knew the advancing Russian Army was very close to liberating the camp. It was clear to the Nazis that all evidence of the war-time atrocities had to be concealed, so the Germans attempted to destroy the other four crematoria themselves.
THE ROSA ROBOTA GATE
Roza Robota's memory lives on, in the naming of the Roza Robota Gates at Montefiore Randwick (Sydney, Australia).Â
This initiative was made possible by Sam Spitzer, a resistance fighter during World War II and now a resident of Sydney.  He named the gates in honor of his war-time hero, Robota, and his late wife, Margaret. Spitzer's sister was in Auschwitz with Robota.  At Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, a monument was built to honor Robota and the three other executed women. It stands in a prime location in the garden.
Samuel Spitzer (1922-2009) "Poppy�
Excerpts from Rabbi Paul Jacobson, my nephew, eulogy for "Poppy�…  I remember pulling up alongside his apartment building. He greeted me with a warm smile and a very strong handshake, introducing himself saying, "I am called Sam.� And when I said, "Hello Sam. My name is Paul, � Lisa corrected me and said, "No, no, you don't call him Sam. You call him Poppy. All of my friends always call him Poppy.�
I will say only that I learned early on that Poppy was a man of conviction, a crusader for what he thought was just and right. The events of World War II were not history to Poppy; they were the moments of his life that scarred him, that tried his faith, and brought unspeakable anguish and torment to his soul and spirit. Try as he would throughout his long life, raging against and seeking to correct the injustices of the world, Poppy was never able to find healing for his wounds.
What we know about Poppy is that he was involved in the socialist underground movement, Ha-Shomer Ha-Tzair. When the political party was banned, he was thrown in prison for two years. During his imprisonment, Poppy recounts that he benefited from the mentorship of Stefan Dubchek, Slovakian politician Alexander Dubcek's father. Â
In August 1944, the Slovak national uprising, organized by communists, discovered that he was Jewish and relocated him to a concentration holding camp. Â Â
Before he was sent to the concentration camp, he escaped into the mountains. Poppy managed to arrange papers identifying him as non-Jewish. He fought during the final months of World War II until Czechoslovakia was liberated in April 1945. Â
An enormous turning point in Sam's life occurred in 1942 when he was arrested as a political prisoner by the Slovak government of the time. In jail he spent many lengthy spells in solitary confinement as well as being experimented on with radium treatment.Â
But what he managed to gain in that time was a development of friendship and mentorship with some of the great political characters of the time. Alexander Dubcheck (former president of Czechoslovakia) and his friendship with Alexander's father Stefan who was a mentor to him during those 2 years in jail.
On his release from jail it was uncovered that he was Jewish and therefore he was sent straight to the camps in Sered. Amazingly he and some other young men managed to escape. They joined with the partisans up in the mountains where he continued to fight until well after the war ended and word finally came to them that it was over.Â
He would often describe to us the fear and loneliness he felt on the mountain, coming across countless frozen bodies of families many he had known in his childhood. Â
After immigration to Australia, he was involved in sports, feared by politicians and vested in real estate, he became a very successful businessman.Â
If there was a cause he believed in or an injustice he was aware of he was relentless, never ceasing till he found justice. He did not care what others thought of him as he challenged Rabbis, communal leaders and organizations standing up the rights of others, especially those killed in WWII who were no longer here to speak up for themselves.
When he was young, he learned to live in a tough world, it made him tough,Â
and he never altered his principles, "Poppy" rest in peace, to this dayÂ
I enjoyed our intelligent conversation...
FROM MY NEPHEWS EULOGY FOR "POPPY�….
Lisa first introduced me to Poppy a couple of months into our relationship in early 2007 when we met for dinner on a weeknight. I remember pulling up alongside his apartment building. He greeted me with a warm smile and a very strong handshake, introducing himself saying, "I am called Sam.� And when I said, "Hello Sam. My name is Paul,�  Lisa corrected me and said, "No, no, you don't call him Sam. You call him Poppy. All of my friends always call him Poppy.�
I will say only that I learned early on that Poppy was a man of conviction, a crusader for what he thought was just and right. The events of World War II were not history to Poppy; they were the moments of his life that scarred him, that tried his faith, and brought unspeakable anguish and torment to his soul and spirit. Try as he would throughout his long life, raging against and seeking to correct the injustices of the world, Poppy was never able to find healing for his wounds.Â
He was born on the 3rd of May 1922 in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. He had to work life out for himself in a tough, dog-eat-dog, dangerous world. He learned his life lessons at a very young age, lessons that would stay with him until the very end. No matter what came his way, Poppy held fast to his principles.
What we know about Poppy is that he was involved in the socialist underground movement, Ha-Shomer Ha-Tzair. When the political party was banned, he was thrown in prison for two years. During his imprisonment, Poppy recounts that he benefited from the mentorship of Stefan Dubchek, Slovakian politician Alexander Dubchek's father. In August 1944, the Slovak national uprising, organized by communists, discovered that he was Jewish and relocated him to a concentration holding camp.Â
Before he was sent to the concentration camp, he escaped into the mountains. Poppy managed to arrange papers identifying him as non-Jewish. He fought during the final months of World War II until Czechoslovakia was liberated in April 1945.
The span of Sam's younger years were colorful. His father remarried and two half brothers were born. He spoke of them with love and cared for them both very deeply. He also spoke of all the odd jobs he would take on to earn a few coins to help his father who worked as a tailor often struggling to provide for his family. For many years he worked in his lunch hour at school delivering meals to his teachers disabled brother and in return being given lunch and a small wage.
An enormous turning point in Sam's life occurred in 1942 when he was arrested as a political prisoner by the Slovak government of the time. In jail he spent many lengthy spells in solitary confinement as well as being experimented on with radium treatment. But what he managed to gain in that time was a development of friendship and mentorship with some great political characters of the time. Many of us gathered today would have seen the photo in his study with Alexander Dubcheck (former president of Czechoslovakia) and heard of his friendship with Alexander's father Stefan who was a mentor to him during those 2 years in jail.Â
On his release from jail it was uncovered that he was Jewish and therefore he was sent straight to the camps in Sered. Amazingly he and some other young men managed to escape. They joined with the partisans up in the mountains where he continued to fight until well after the war ended and word finally came to them that it was over. He would often describe to us the fear and loneliness he felt on the mountain, coming across countless frozen bodies of families many he had known in his childhood. He told us of the tears he cried and the prayers he shouted to an empty mountain, his dead mother and to a g-d he feared had forgotten him.
Sam was not idle in those years, he continued his strong involvement with soccer in Australia, even acting as a selector for the Australian team. He forged many close friendships in the soccer arena and Margaret was also famous for her incredible hospitality and warmth that they shared with many of the young up and coming players. Sam was also there to lend an ear and advise to others in the business world. He always had a solution of how to find loopholes in the local zoning laws for business and developed a relationship of mutual respect and fear with the local politicians of his day.
But as close as Sam was with his family, there are many of us here today who can share stories of their friendships and connections to Sam. He was a man who was always willing to hear someone's cause, tell them a tale or two of his own. But always willing to give advise and help in any way that he could. He was a real crusader. If there was a cause he believed in or an injustice he was aware of he was relentless, never ceasing till he found justice.Â
He did not care what others thought of him as he challenged rabbis, communal leaders and organizations standing up the rights of others, especially those killed in WWII who were no longer here to speak up for themselves.Â
He was young, he learned to live in a tough world and he never altered his principles.

Shin splints are characterized by pain in the front or inside aspect of the lower leg. The pain usually develops gradually without a history of trauma, and might begin as a dull ache along the front or inside of the shin (Tibia) after running or even walking.
Shin Splints are usually caused by moderate to heavy physical activity, especially activities that involve running and 'stop start' action such as tennis or basketball. The pain involved with Shin Splints comes from excessive amounts of force on the shin bone and surrounding muscles.
The excessive activity can cause inflammation in the muscles, which places more pressure on the shin bones and can even cause hairline fractures.
Initial treatment should involve reducing activity to help relieve pressure in the lower legs and allow the injury to heal.
Applying cool packs and taking anti-inflammatories to relieve swelling will also help. compression bandages and a foam roller may also be used to relieve pain and assist in healing.

Carly Behm/Sun-Times
Eight people, including an 8-year-old girl, were killed and 48 others were injured in shootings across Chicago over Labor Day weekend.
Five of the wounded were under 18 years old.
In preparation for the historically violent weekend, Chicago police canceled days and extended shifts to 12 hours to put about 8,000 officers on the street.
Last weekend saw 55 people shot across Chicago, 10 of them fatally. Over Labor Day weekend in 2019, 43 people were shot citywide, eight of them fatally.
Two people were killed in separate mass shootings Monday night.
An 8-year-old girl was shot to death, and two other people were wounded, Monday in Canaryville on the South Side. The shooting happened about 5:55 p.m. at West 47th Street and South Union Avenue, Chicago Police Chief of Operations Brian McDermott said at a news conference. It also triggered a crash that injured the child's mother.

At least 27 other people were injured by citywide gunfire between 5 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Several major VPN service providers reported that the Great Firewall internet filter was causing increased difficulties for their users in China on October 30th, 2018.
ExpressVPN issued a notice to their China users about the increased censorship affecting service.
VPNs (virtual private networks) are widely used in China to circumvent the heavy internet censorship in the country that blocks most foreign social media, news, and search engine.
While most basic VPN services are blocked in the country, a select few providers that employ advanced anti-censorship technology are still effective at bypassing. However, from time to time these services suffer VPN crackdowns that usually occur around politically sensitive times such as the Chinese Communist Party Congress in Beijing.
This most recent VPN crackdown by the Chinese authorities comes before President Xi is due to attend a major trade fair in Shanghai and the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China. VPN crackdowns are also thought to be routine tests or upgrades of the Great Firewall technology.

DECATURVILLE – The TCA Lions were able to overcome a slow start Friday night against the Riverside Panthers to get a 42-21 victory and claim the District 15-A title for the second year in a row.
The Panthers jumped out to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, but the Lions quickly retook the lead and never looked back.
TCA coach Blake Butler was proud of his team's ability to overcome some early adversity.
"Riverside came out firing on all cylinders, and our guys responded well," Butler said. "We walked into the game not firing on all cylinders like they were, but our guys woke up and did what they needed to do to get the win."
TCA senior running back James Bond played a key role in the Lions' victory with 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Butler credited Bond with leading the comeback.
"Teams are determined to take (quarterback) Kyle Akin away and drop a lot of guys in coverage, and we've got to be able to run the ball. James did a good job of doing that tonight," Butler said.
Riverside scored on its opening possession of the game when running back Devin Cannon scored on a 43-yard rush to put the Panthers up 7-0. The Lions responded on a 20-yard Akin pass to Landon Ross to tie the game at 7-7.
Riverside quarterback Drake Smith dove in from two yards out to give the Panthers a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter was all James Bond as he scored on runs of 11 and 64 yards to give TCA a 21-14 lead at halftime.
The Lions scored on their first possession of the second half when Akin found Eli Parker for a 19-yard touchdown pass that pushed the Lions lead to 28-14.
Following a long run down the left sideline by Smith, Cannon scored from four yards out to cut the Lions lead to 28-21.
TCA added to its lead in the fourth quarter when Drake Taylor ran in from nine yards out to make it 35-21 Lions.
Bond finished the scoring for the night when he dashed into the end zone for a 24 yard touchdown run.

4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Ephraim Sawtell was also known as Ephraim Sartell during his life.
Ephraim Sawtell was the 6th child and 5th son of Hezekiah and Joanna (Wilson) Sawtell. The Groton town record entry for the birth of Ephraim Sawtell says[1]:
"Ephriam Sawtell son of Hezekiah Sawtell & Joanna his wife was born of Groton January 18th 1734"
The Shirley, Massachusetts vital record book has this entry for the baptism of Ephraim Sawtell[3]:
"SAWTELL, Ephraim, s. Hezekiah and Joanna, bp., Mar. 30 1735 B.R."
The Groton, Massachusetts town record book provides the marriage of Ephraim Sawtell and Abigail Stone[4]:
"[December] 22d [1757] Ephraim Sawtell & Abigail Stone boath of Groton"
The Groton, Massachusetts town records record the births of the first eight of the children of ephraim and Abigail Sawtell. The record says[6]:
"Abagail Sawtell the daughter of Ephraim Sawtell and Abagail his wife born at Groton November 3'd 1758
Lucy Sawtell the daughter of Ephraim Sawtell and Abagail his wife born at Groton January 20'th 1760

During the period of 1773 to 1775, Ephraim Sawtell moved from Groton, Massachusetts to the north to Mason, New Hampshire. He and his wife, Abigail, had one daughter recorded in the Mason, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire Town Records in 1778.
Ephraim "Sartel" was a private on the pay roll for Captain Benjamin Mann's Company of Volunteers in Colonel Nichol's Regiment in the expedition to Rhode Island in August 1778[8]. He was paid £11 10s. for his service.
In February 17890, Ephraim Sawtell and his family removed to Townsend, Massachusetts. The Townsend Vital Record book has three records[9-11]:
"Lieut. Ephraim Sartell waith Abigail his wife together with their Children named Lucy Eli Josiah Ephraim, Sarah, John and Hannah who came last from Mason in New Hampshire State to Townshend upon Feb'y 2: 1780 warn'd out of Townshend and due return made thereof January 20:1781 by Benj'a Ball Constable"

"The persons or families that came to town between March 1779 and March 1780 are:
Ephraim Sartell and family from Mason N Hampshire."
In the 1790 U.S. Census, the family was at Raby (now Brookline), New Hampshire[12], just east of Mason, with a family of three men over age 16, a boy under 16, and three females.
Ephraim Sawtell must have moved back to Townsend, Massachusetts, because he is listed in the 1798 Direct Tax List for Townsend, Massachusetts[13]. The entry for Ephraim Sartell was listed with:

But also on the theoretical side, it is tempting to say that the scholastic imagination exerted a major, long-lasting influence on various "esoteric epistemologies". In a sense, this is a trivial observation: the imagination as a separate cognitive faculty, or an "inner sense" involved with perception and apprehension is an Aristotelian notion, and that Aristotelian notion re-entered European intellectual discourse through the Persian, Andalusian, Italian, and German scholars I have mentioned here. Moreover, that the "phantasms" created by the imaginative faculty can be mined for mystical insights is a notion that appears to enter European religious/intellectual discourse through Bonaventure's synthesis of Aristotelianism and illuminationism.

I thought I'd do a bit of a fashion-inspired post today for a change, seeing as I tend to just concentrate on beauty and the occasional lifestyle post. Collar detailing is something that I've really got in to over the past few weeks, and it seems to be absolutely everywhere. It seems to be extremely popular on shirts and blouses at the minute in just about every store, so I decided to see how I could jazz up an old Levis shirt I got last year. I think it is actually a man's shirt but I love it! It's really oversized and comfy, and I really love the blue colour of it.
I bought some studs a few weeks ago and was very tempted to stud the collar, but I didn't really want to do anything that was too permanent in case I decided I didn't like it. Instead I decided to have a rummage round and see if I had anything that I could keep changing and swapping. As well as collar tips and detail, big statement necklaces are massive at the minute too, so what better excuse to have a play around with some different looks?!
The H&M necklace is something that I've started to wear a lot because it's so simple and goes with anything. The River Island necklace is a few years old and I actually forgot I had it, but I think it looks quite expensive and very vintage. Both of the collar tips are from good old ebay, which I actually don't have links for at the minute I'm afraid. I definitely know that if you type them in there are millions of choices, and I think mine were around £1.50 with free delivery from China. You have to wait a while for them to arrive, but for that price I don't think anyone can complain. There are loads of different things you can use to brighten up a plain collar, I think I'll definitely be investing in some more.
How do you jazz up your shirt collars?
very cute collar tips, I found a lot at http://www.cnsfashion.com/collar-tips.html, too.

Economics Macroeconomics
Nobel Winners Are Economic Prizes
By Ryan Barnes
The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences doesn't necessarily recognize the newest or most "cutting edge" ideas within economics and finance, but instead focuses on those that employ a more wait-and-see approach. After all, Merton and Scholes didn't get their prize until 1997, long after their option pricing formula had become a ubiquitous tool for traders and portfolio managers.
In this article, we'll look at some past winners whose contributions are particularly well known and useful to our everyday investing lives.
The late Alfred Nobel didn't decree a prize for economics in his will like he did for literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. The Nobel Memorial Prize for Economic Sciences didn't arise until 1968, when the Bank of Sweden established it on its 300th anniversary in memory of Alfred Nobel.
Also of note, the criteria for the prize were expanded in 1995 to include social sciences as a whole, so contributions in fields like sociology and political science could also be recognized. They are often intertwined in modern economic theory as governments, companies and individuals all work to solve the same problems and allocate the same resources.
Lastly, awards can only be given to the living. Alas, for late greats like Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes, there will be no (well-deserved) posthumous prize.
Economic Theories Take Time to Prove
In economics, more so than most fields, it takes many years for a given theory or discovery to truly be proven effective or even correct. The study of economics, especially macroeconomics, is usually one of trends and cycles, market shocks and hindsight studies. For example, if one's theory is on how inflation responds at the beginning and end of a bull market, it could take 10 years or more to even reach the end of a bull market, and historical economic data may be limited or difficult to correlate to the present.
In time, however, economists whose insights truly change the field do get recognized by the committee. Winning the award brings in a nice paycheck (roughly $1.5 million) and possibly some long-overdue credit and attention, especially in some of the younger economic fields such as microfinance and behavioral finance.
Past Winners of Note
Many economists never achieve much fame outside the ivory towers in which they operate, but some have made direct contributions to the economics of individual investors and companies. These past winners deserve a special nod for their tools and theories, which have helped investors better understand markets and their own portfolios.
Leonid Hurwicz, Eric Maskin, Roger Myerson Provide Framework for Analyzing Market Conditions
All three of the 2007 Nobel Memorial winners have made major contributions to mechanism design theory, which provides a framework for analyzing market conditions under less-than-ideal scenarios. Hurwicz first introduced the theory in the 1960s. His work was later expanded by his college classmates Maskin and Myerson. They were able to expand the range of uses for mechanism design theory to a wide array of financial mechanisms such as international trade, elections and other voting procedures. They even expanded the theory's uses into private social institutions, whose overarching goals (usually to benefit the broadest number in the best overall way) may not run parallel to the individual goals of their leaders. Many aspects of the modern economy do not fit neatly into classical definitions of markets, where perfect competition and "equilibrium conditions" always exist. The trio's work has validated the use of auction-style markets for many types of trade and opened up new schools of thought for dealing with social problems and the transmission of public goods.
Samuelson Helps Turn Economics into a Pure Science
Paul Samuelson won the second prize ever awarded in 1970; he was recognized for his game-changing contributions that married economics with mathematics. Before Samuelson, economists and investors struggled to conduct mathematical and scientific analysis on markets because there was no consistent way to compare situations under different conditions. His 1947 book, "Foundations of Economic Analysis," has sold more copies than any other textbook on economics, and Samuelson is considered one of the founders of modern neoclassical economics.
Milton Friedman Redefines Role of Economics and Government
Milton Friedman won in 1976 for his groundbreaking studies of consumption analysis and monetary theory, and he has been considered by some to be the most important economist of the 20th century. Friedman advocated a small government and a hands-off approach to markets - theories that became the cornerstone of many political and economic movements beginning in the early 1980s. Friedman believed that markets played an instrumental role in politics and government; so much so that some problems, he said, could only be solved through the use of market forces. One of Friedman's biggest fans was Alan Greenspan, who used Friedman's theories on monetary supply and economic output to guide the U.S. economy through a record expansionary period between the mid-1980s and 2006.
The 1990 'Investor's Trio': Markowitz, Sharpe and Miller
These three winners may have shared the 1990 prize, but each made extraordinarily useful individual contributions to investors. Harry Markowitz is the godfather of modern portfolio theory, having given us the same theories of mean-variance portfolio analysis that most money managers still use today. His mathematical approach to creating an optimal portfolio opened the door to modern diversification techniques and educated us on the critical tradeoffs between risk and return. Markowitz's ideas were later picked up by William Sharpe to create the backbone of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), which is used extensively today by both investors and company managers to determine the required level of return on an asset. The success of the CAPM and its associated "Beta" coefficient helped standardize the process of evaluating assets and their risk premium.
Merton Miller doesn't have the honor of having a financial term named after him, but he brought long-overdue attention to corporate finance and individual investors. His theories have helped guide the way managers run companies on behalf of shareholders. Specifically, he proved that because investors can diversify portfolios on their own, companies should simply try to maximize shareholder value and not worry about finding the perfect ratio of debt capital to equity capital.
Derivatives Take Center Stage – Merton and Scholes in 1997
The year 1997 brought long-overdue acclaim to the creators of the definitive options pricing mechanism. The Black-Scholes-Merton formula was developed by Robert Merton and Myron Scholes. Fischer Black passed away in 1995. The award came long after Black-Scholes pricing had permeated the world of stock options pricing, and terms like "time value" and "the Greeks" were already in the option investor's vocabulary. The three investors' work in standardizing options pricing led to a broad expansion in derivative securities as a whole; futures, employee stock options and commodities have all flourished since. Most importantly, it took an area of finance that had a limited audience and brought it to the world through the common language of mathematics.
Nobel Memorial Prize winners have given us much more than fodder for dissertations and masters' theses. Past winners have provided real investors with tools that are used every day and open up new ways to view assets, the markets and our role in making them work. The first step in learning to use these models is to introduce yourself to their creators.

Seems like you're really proud of it.
In other news, if I disappear for a day or so, don't be alarmed. I'm just roaming with my camera.
Sounds like fun Can I join you?
If you want to. I'm just going to be pulling shots from Central Park and Times Square and a couple other places to Frankenstein together later.
You keep saying that like it means something? Just playing. If you want to come along, you're more than welcome. But I'm just going to be playing around with my camera. Nothing special.
Well, that's no fun but I suppose it's better than doing nothing all day.
Doing anything interesting? This is your period for TAing for Hastings, right?
Supposed to be in business class. But, I'm not. I'm outside enjoying the nice fall weather. Care to join me?

Q: Text line to JSON using Awk I have lines like this in a file.

I would like to transform these and only pull out the ip address and the comment at the end of each line.
Here is what i have so far:
grep 'DENY IN' tmp.txt | awk '{printf "{\"ip\":\"%s\",\"reason\":\"%s\"},", $4, substr($0,index($0,$5))}' | sed 's/,$//g' | awk '{ printf "[%s]", $0}'
[{"ip":"5.255.250.115","reason":"# Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexBot/3.0; +http://yandex.com/bots)"},{"ip":"46.229.168.153","reason":"# Sep 22 00:03:39 dn sshd[20969]: Bad protocol version identification \003 from port 64347"},{"ip":"213.180.203.49","reason":"# Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 8_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/600.1.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Versi"}]

The issue is that the comment string is not a valid json value.
When i feed that to python3 -m json.tool, i get this error:
grep 'DENY IN' tmp.txt | awk '{printf "{\"ip\":\"%s\",\"reason\":\"%s\"},", $4, substr($0,index($0,$5))}' | sed 's/,$//g' | awk '{ printf "[%s]", $0}' | python3 -m json.tool
Invalid \escape: line 1 column 218 (char 217)

Here is the expected result which I was able to get by writing a short python script:
[
    {
        "ip": "5.255.250.115",
        "reason": "# Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexBot/3.0; +http://yandex.com/bots)\n"
    },

Is there any way to print the json value as an escaped literal string in the json output using Awk or any other command line tool? Kind of like python does when using json.dumps. Since i won't know what is in the comment value.
Here is the python script i used to get the desired output:
import sys
import json

json_arr = []
for line in sys.stdin:
    line_parts = line.split(" ")
    json_obj = {'ip':line_parts[25],'reason':' '.join(line_parts[39:])}
    json_arr.append(json_obj)

print(json.dumps(json_arr, indent=4))

Thanks

A: Are you looking for something like this? As jq is tagged, this reads each line as raw string using -R, splits the line by at least two consecutive spaces, and generates the object from the last two columns:
jq -nR '[inputs | [splits("\\s{2,}")] | {ip:.[2], reason:.[3]}]'

  {
    "ip": "5.255.250.115",

  },
  {
    "ip": "46.229.168.153",
    "reason": "# Sep 22 00:03:39 dn sshd[20969]: Bad protocol version identification \\003 from port 64937"
  },

  }

A: An awk-only solution - not as elegant as i hoped :
echo "${bbbbb}" \
\
| mawk '
  BEGIN {
     OFS = "\42, \42reason\42: \42"
      FS = "[ \\t][ \\t]+([\43][ ])?"
               _="[A]?[^D]+DENY[ ]IN[^0-9]+"
      RS = "^"(_)"|[\\r]?[\\n]("(_)")?"

        printf("[") } !NF {
                            next
  } !/(port [0-9]+|[)])$/ {

       $_=sprintf("%s%*s",$_,(getline)^+RS,$_)
  } {
       gsub(/[\03]/, "\\003")
       gsub(/[\\]/,  "\\\\&")

       printf("%.*s{ \42ip\42: \42%s\42 }",
                  +_<__++, ",", $!(NF=NF))

  } END { printf("]\n") }' | jq

I love, love, looove French pharmacy brands for skincare. Skin care enthusiasts everywhere know what I'm talking about. Luckily for us, we don't have to venture over to France to get our hands on brands such as Bioderma, Nuxe, Klorane etc.
Escentual is currently running an offer on French Pharmacy brands where everything is up to a third off! So if you need to stock up on anything, hurry! Because offer ends 31st October 2013.
I was introduced to this by Lisa Eldridge. It's one of her favourite French products, check out her video here for more of her favourites. It's a 'corrective and unclogging moisturiser'. So it's supposed to clear up problematic skin. I can vouch that it did for me. I used it religiously AM and PM when I had breakouts and it cleared it right up. It's usually priced at £13.50, but now £9.04.
I won't say much about this, you can read my review here. I love this lip balm, it's quite unique in it's texture. I haven't found anything like this at all. It's matte and intensely hydrating. Now it's £6.36 down from £9.50.
I haven't used this before, but heard great things about it. It sounds amazing, and I'll definitely be putting this in my basket. It's reduced to £4.87 from £6.50.
I literally ran out of this serum last week, so the timing couldn't be better. I've never known a product to be so perfectly named. It absolutely is 'thirst-quenching' for my skin! It absorbs into my skin perfectly and creates a lovely hydrated base for makeup. Hubby is a fan too as he sneakily uses this too! I will definitely be picking this up. It's currently £21.75, which is a bargain!
What are your favourite French products? Will you be picking anything up in the Escentual sale?
