New PowerPoint Import for KOffice
Since Nokia's takeover of Trolltech and the increased presence of Qt, the KOffice suite has been gaining prominence on mobile devices. Developers have been working on new import opportunities of Microsoft Office formats.
On September 17 Nokia's KOffice developer Thomas Zander announced in his blog that the document viewer for the next Maemo 5 platform will be based on KOffice2. At the same time the KOffice team released a new beta version with a vastly improved MS Word import filter.
Now Jos van den Oever has written some further software to improve importing MS Office documents to KOffice: a parser that converts PowerPoint format to XML. As he reports in his blog, the documentation describing the PPT format encompasses 663 pages, with the one on drawings, essential to presentations, encompassing 620 pages as a PDF file. To prevent from having to scroll through all the pages, van den Oever converted the documents to machine-readable format and developed a parser from it to convert PowerPoint files to XML format. The method allows large amounts of PowerPoint data to be read in to make it easier to find weaknessses and errors. The resulting XML files can then be used as a basis for an import filter.
The product is a Qt program called
with a C++ and Java parser that is now available for download. Jos van den Oever encourages other project developers to write parsers in their favorite languages, requiring fewer than 700 lines of code.
Interested parties in Msoscheme for machine-readable MS Office files who want to participate in the project can access the source code as follows:
git clone git://gitorious.org/msoscheme/msoscheme.git mkdir msoscheme/cpp/build cd msoscheme/cpp/build cmake .. make ./ppttoxml myfile.ppt myfile.xml
A driving force behind the newest KOffice development is the KO GmbH open document company, where van den Oever is also a member.

About Domaine Robert Chevillon
For the longest time, the Chevillons were the equivalent of sharecroppers, farming vines they didn't own and selling the fruit to local négociants. Today, Domaine Robert Chevillon is one of the top two producers in Nuits-Saint-Georges, along with Henri Gouges.
2003 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges
Producer: Domaine Robert Chevillon
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Pinot Noir
Origin: France
Region: Burgundy
Appellation: Cote de Nuits
86 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - March/April 2006
($56) Good saturated red. Superripe aromas of currant, coffee and smoke. Fat, sweet and powerful, in a slightly roasted style. Quite tannic on the back half. Bertrand Chevillon compared this to a Rhone Valley wine.

Product Details

We suggest keeping one on the back of your desk chair or in your bag at all times.
Size & Fit Details
Cotton Jackie cardigan sweater
Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 126 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kfrorai Miss the old Jackie The colors are indeed beautiful. But sadly this is not the Jackie I have owned and loved for so many years. In fact if you hadn't called it the Jackie, I would have had no idea that it was a Jackie. You have changed it so much and not for the better. The material feels cheap and thin. And gone are the cute buttons that the sweater was known for. Although in the recent past, these buttons seem to have cracked and been of inferior quality. Miss the 3/4 length sleeves and more attractive fit. Too long now. And to top it off, one of the shells I received had a big hole in the front. Never buying again. Jcrew. When will you fix your quality problem. It's hurting your brand. I have been a loyal customer since 2000. Now I struggle to find anything I love that you offer. March 5, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by desertrose This is not the Jackie I've known for years! I loved the Jackie back in 2006-2010. I still have those and they still look great, especially the black. All the others I have bought since have faded and look terrible after the first wash. I have close to 30 Jackies. I will be trying to use my old ones carefully. The quality keeps getting worse overall and now the style of a classic has completely changed. Atleast call it another name while you test the new style. This is not the Jackie I know! March 5, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ohio Bring back the Jackie you just had recently!!! J. Crew, WHAT have you done with the Jackie sweater???!!! You took away the 3/4 sleeves and made the sweater longer. It is completely frumpy now. I own 6 Jackie twinsets and 3 Jackie sweaters and planned on buying the twinsets for years to come. My Jackie sweaters are classy and chic, great for all year. But you have ruined the chic styling with this new design. PLEASE bring back the Jackie sweater that you had recently, and get rid of this frumpy style. February 27, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by sorita It was perfect. Why change? I have always loved the Jackie cardigan for its elegant casualness and versatility. 3/4 sleeves, the slightly short length and well-fittedness were essential characteristics. But not this season's Jackie. It is now larger and longer with full sleeves. When it is this long and full sleeved, it does not look well balanced over a dress, which makes it much less versatile. Also, I find the new buttons cheap. All in all it is extremely disappointing. Please bring back the old Jackie. March 13, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gemma Not the same Jackie I have many Jackie sweaters and I love them. This one is different: sleeves are full length; the button configuration is changed (used to have two button at top spaced closer together); and the buttons are different (larger and 4 holes rather than smooth with a shank). I don't like the changes. Love the smaller buttons on the old Jackie. I don't mind that the sleeves are full length, rather than 3/4, but like the old 3/4 length better. I'm disappointed. I bought 2 in the periwinkle color because I like the color so much. I will probably return. Really don't like the buttons. Looks like every other cotton cardigan out there. BTW, the old Jackie was made in Hong Kong and this one in China. Disappointed. March 3, 2016


text: [[quoteright:378:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mouryou2_7921.jpg]][[caption-width-right:378: "...hou..."]]''Mouryou no Hako'' (''Box of Goblins'') is a relatively obscure series revolving around boxes.The year is 1952. Japan is still struggling to get back on its feet after its crushing defeat in World War II. The old folk beliefs are slowly being overshadowed by emerging modernization. And amidst the lonely hills and fields on the outskirts of Tokyo, boxes containing the severed arms and legs of unknown female victims keep turning up. A small private detective agency gets involved in the investigation, and along with them, a very different sort of detective, the coldly sceptical [[{{Onmyodo}} onmyouji]], Chuuzenji Akihiko.Meanwhile, a young girl named Yuzuki Kanako has gone missing. Her troubled schoolyard friend Yoriko witnessed her disappear beneath a moving train late at night, pushed onto the tracks by a mysterious gloved assailant. Kanako was taken to a strange box-shaped hospital deep in the nearby hills, only to disappear from her hospital bed as if transformed into air. Her washed-up actress sister has employed haunted ex-soldier Detective Kiba to find the severely crippled girl before it's too late.And in the pages of an up-and-coming novelist's newest work, a man on a train encounters a gloved passenger carrying a box with a human head inside of it. A head that is, beyond all reason, alive.Despite gorgeous animation courtesy of {{Madhouse}}, and a plot adapted from one of the finest supernatural mystery novels in recent years, this series is still sadly below many people's radars. Plenty of scares and {{body horror}} for all, in addition to long, deep discussions on philosophy, religion, biology, and the human condition.----!!Provides examples of:* AllMythsAreTrue [[spoiler:[[ZigZaggedTrope Maybe.]]]]* AlternateCharacterReading* AndIMustScream [[spoiler: Poor, helpless Kanako.]]* AnachronismStew* [[spoiler:ATragedyOfImpulsiveness]]: How this story starts.* TheBeautifulElite: Kanako. Subverted later in the story.* {{Bishounen}}: Enokizu Reijiro, the self-proclaimed "detective" who in the novel is often compared to a European porcelain doll. Being roughly 30 years old, he's more Biseinen than Bishonen, but who cares?** Plus pretty much everyone on the main cast, at least in the anime. (CLAMP did the character designs, after all.) In the novels, Sekiguchi's often called "monkey" by several characters, and Kyougoku is once referred to as "Akutagawa's ghost."* BodyHorror: On the most profound, deep-in-your-soul level possible. [[spoiler: For example, how would a head and shoulders kept alive by wires inside a box be able to breathe enough to say "Hou"?]]* {{Buddhism}}: Early in the story, Kanako tells Yoriko about the concept of Tennin Gosui ("The Five Death Omens of an Angel" or "The Decay of an Angel"), which is found in several Buddhist writings. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Yoriko takes the concept a bit too seriously, with disastrous results.]]* CherryBlossoms: ''Lots.'' Especially in the first episode.* ContinuityNod: Sekiguchi's novel seems at first glance to be a metaphor for what's happening with the Kanako/Kubo case. However, [[spoiler: the girl in the book is meant to be Kuonji Ryoko, the tragic figure from the novel before Mouryou, 'Ubume no Natsu.' But most Western viewers will not have read the previous novel, despite it being available in English.]]* DramaticThunder leading to ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: episode 3 and again in episode 11.* CuteKitten: The Chuuzenjis have a cat (named Pomegranite!) that have no relevance at all to the plot but... it's so cute!* TheFourGods: Referenced in several instances by Chuuzenji.* HyperAwareness: Chuuzenji.* ImperialJapan: Most of the main cast fought in World War II (which ended only 7-odd years prior to the start of the story), and Chuuzenji himself was recruited by the infamous [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731 Unit 731]] (although he didn't get involved in the Unit's more monstrous activities). [[spoiler: Mimasaka was also with Unit 731. It's not like the end of the war meant he had to stop his "research", right?]]* MindScrew: To the point where it's almost impossible to figure out what's going on if the viewer hasn't been paying attention well enough. However, the ones who have been paying attention are vastly rewarded for their efforts by a wondrous ending.* MrExposition: Kyougoku* MundaneMadeAwesome: To the point of abuse. Talking scenes are underlined with tornado-scale gusts of wind, dancing is punctuated with torrential cherry blossoms, and all driving is done as maniacally and erratically as possible, especially when there isn't any semblance of a reason.* [[spoiler:ParentChildIncest]]: Central part of [[TheReveal the shocking truth]] revealed near the story's end.* {{Reincarnation}}: Kanako believes that she is Yoriko's reincarnation and vice-versa. At the same time. Seriously.** Which from a certain point of view makes that a {{Ground Hog Day Loop}}; because they're reliving the same two lifetimes over and over again...* ReligionIsMagic: Averted somewhat. [[spoiler: Despite a large amount of attention paid to Shinto, Buddhism and folklore, the mysteries are shown to be psychological or scientific in nature. The series is probably one of the more truthful representations of {{Onmyodo}} in anime.]]* ReligionOfEvil: The Cult of Onbako-sama.* SceneryPorn: Pretty much every background scene is beautiful and creative in both colouring and design.* SerialKiller: [[spoiler: Kubo. If the [[Series/{{Dexter}} Ice Truck Killer]] had lived in the same era, he'd probably be looking up to this nutcase in admiration. Seriously, Kubo's THAT friggin' messed-up.]]* ShellShockedVeteran: Kiba.** Sekiguchi, Kiba, Enokizu, and even Chuuzenji were all in the war, although the latter two saw less frontline action than the former pair. Sekiguchi was also Kiba's senior officer (believe it or not).* ShrinesAndTemples: A couple are shown, most notably that of the Onbako-sama cult.* StoicSpectacles: Sekiguchi is this is in front of other people (even his own wife), though his monologues reveal otherwise.* StringyHairedGhostGirl: [[spoiler: Kanako never comes back as a ghost per say, but the consequences of her tragic fate haunt the minds of the cast, and also serve to spur the plot along.]]* {{Telepathy}}: The entire first half of an episode chronicles the real-life story of Mifune Chizuko, the Meiji-era psychic whose misfortune also inspired TheRing.* UnreliableNarrator: [[spoiler:Yoriko.]]* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Yoriko.]]* {{Youkai}}:** Not only does the story tie very closely into the myth of the Mouryou, Chuuzenji gives us a downright etymological and cultural low-down of what "Mouryou" actually means. ** It's ''extremely'' important for understanding things later on. It also helps if you know a bit about {{Onmyodo}} and kanji, to say the least.----

Latest is the movie of The Great Gatsby.
The Magic MaidThis toaster is remarkable for the shape of the case, stamped of one piece of steel with no corners and fitted with snazzy base and ends. This toaster has a clockworks timing mechanism and could qualify as the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle house since it works only when it is turned upside down.

Water KettleI used this dented kettle for more than twenty years, but it finally sprung a leak.

The Rosebud ToasterThis toaster is called the Rosebud toaster. Calling Orson Wells, calling Mr. Wells.
The shape is most appealing, and the timing mechanism and internals make it not worth fooling with. It works, but erratically and most unsafely, so this is sold as a toaster for display only. I've left the cord on in case it is used as a stage prop, but for display, I'd just cut it off.
There is a compartment to hide your secret wishes.

- Animation Age Ghetto: The promos and bumpers really stressed that this was a kids' block in the first season.
Curtis Williams of The Parent 'Hood: OK, we're back. You grown-ups can leave the room.
- Plus, the adult audiences tuning in were a part of the reasons Animaniacs and Freakazoid! were cancelled, even though adults were the only ones that got a lot of their humor.
- Broken Base: If or when the block went downhill depends on who you ask. Some believe it's when Animaniacs and Freakazoid! axed to make room for Pokémon and other Anime. Others point to the mid-2000s with the cancellations of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Jackie Chan Adventures. Still others are divided as to when Pokémon lost its luster while Kids' WB was still running it.
- Ear Worm: Several.
- "I don't know but I heard tell / That The WB's the place / For great new shows / Anything goes / Even worms in outer space!"
- "Make some space on your TV / It's Dubba Dubba Dubba Kids Dubba Dubba WB! / Dubba Dubba Kids are kids like you / The kind of kids who know what they wanna do!"
- "Kids WB yourself!"
- Never Live It Down: Four words: "Big Kids Come First".
- To the fans and production crew of Toonami, there's Kids' WB's attempt at their own version of Toonami.

I would like to know something more about Apollo and completely unknown to your company, but doing analysis on the numbers that are on the table and watching your graph looks like a company widely reliable and solid. I know nothing about their way of making money, but it seems a good place to invest. It would be advisable to go now or worth waiting to give their next results? Thank you.
Prefer comments rational, although it is not usual in these forums.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
A buy on "breakout stocks blog". APOL looking good.
Sentiment: Buy
They offer questionable higher education (through University of Phoenix), and make their money by bilking the US government of veterans benefits, government (Pell) grants, and government loans.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Do you just have this holstered in your clipboard ? then just press "paste" whenever you make a comment....go back to talking about something you know....like the right types of pudding to eat while you get your opinions fed to you by the Obama administration's machine

1 voteA really clever plot, and a beautiful film in general. I don't want to give a synopsis; its so clever, I think it would be too much of a spoiler. This romance/war film is timeless and should be viewed by everyone, no exceptions.
For the time the cinematography and set designs were epic, despite being an 'old' film it is in no way dated or cheesy. A classic, and an underrated one a... read more

Description: Returning to England from a bombing run in May 1945, flyer Peter Carter's plane is damaged and his parachute ripped to shreds. He has his crew bail out safely, but figures it is curtains for himself. He gets on the radio, and talks to June, a young American woman working for the RAF, and they are quite moved by each other's voices. Then he jumps, preferring this to burning up with his plane. He wakes up in the surf. It was his time to die, but there was a mixup in heaven. They couldn't find him in all that fog. By the time his "Conductor" catches up with him 20 hours later, Peter and June have met and fallen in love. T ... (more)

MBA Admissions Testimonials
Jen Z.
admitted to Wharton (top choice)
750 on GMAT
"There is no doubt in the quality of the Stratus Team. I had a great GMAT tutor. He clearly knew the material well and was able to explain and break down problems in the simplest way. He also tailored his teaching style to suit my needs, and I really appreciated his flexibility. As for admissions counseling, the experience was just amazing. My counselor took the time out to understand my background, experience, strengths and weaknesses, career objectives, as well as my reasons for getting an MBA. He assigned me an advisor who was a Harvard Business School alumna. She was also knowledgeable about the other schools to which I applied to, and regularly checked in with me on my progress. I worked closely with both my counselor and her on application strategy, essays, and interview prep. They are insightful and very familiar with all of the programs and schools I selected. While I wrote all of my essays myself; I worked hard and the content is 100% true to my personal experience–, they provided great guidance on the structural direction. Their edits allowed my words to showcase the best part of me and to fit my experience with the targets of each school. Most importantly, they always responded quickly but thoughtfully to all of my questions, and worked with me under a tight timeline. They were also a great help when it came to mock interviews (They went through pretty much all of the questions that I encountered in the real interviews). As a result, I was fully prepared for my interviews."
admitted to Columbia (top choice)
720 on GMAT
"Stratus Prep's GMAT and MBA admissions services were exceptional. Before using Stratus Prep, I was just your average MBA applicant that knew very little about the admissions process. Thanks to my tutor and consultant, I was able to significantly boost my GMAT score and was accepted to an elite school. The personal admissions consulting services were top notch; it is the bump that vaulted me ahead of my competition in terms of preparation"
admitted to INSEAD (top choice)
"Hope you are doing well. I wanted to give you a quick update – I received an acceptance call from INSEAD and am truly excited at the opportunity. I will be accepting and look forward to joining them by the end of August. Once again, I truly want to thank you for your assistance and efforts that helped me realize this dream. You provide a great service and I wish you continued success for the future."
admitted to HBS (top choice)
"I worked with Stratus Prep and had a really positive experience. They are professional, responsive, and know the top schools inside and out. It's a relatively small company that seems to have grown a lot through word of mouth (That's how I heard about them.) I felt like, since they were smaller, they offered more personalized attention and customization than what I saw other friends receive from bigger counseling firms which seemed more like an assembly line.
I am heading to HBS this fall and I would not have gotten in without their help. A number of my friends and colleagues have also used Stratus. Not every single one has gotten into HBS, but they have all been admitted to top schools and feel like Stratus went above and beyond to help them craft the best possible application."
GMAT Testimonials
"Stratus Prep actually cares about every one of their clients, and they really want you to succeed. From the first time I called to ask about GMAT Tutoring, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Just knowing they were behind me 100% made me want to do better, and I did!"
"I bought a few GMAT books, but they were confusing, disorganized, and I was never motivated to study. My Stratus Prep tutor explained concepts so I could understand them, and he assigned me lots of homework to keep me on track. It worked! I never thought I would break 700, but I got a 730!!"
Law Admissions Testimonials
"I was accepted to Harvard with a 170 on my LSAT after doing Law School Admissions with Stratus Prep! I thought my numbers were way too low, but my admissions counselor helped me with my entire strategy, including mock interviews before the real thing. I didn't think I had a chance at Harvard, but here I am!"
LSAT Testimonials
"I was the first of my friends to take Stratus Prep's LSAT class. After they kept hearing me bragging about my score increasing with every practice exam (up to a 171 on the real LSAT!!!), they all signed up too! Now we're all at top-10 law schools."
"I usually get anxious when I take standardized tests, but my Stratus Prep tutor gave me some really helpful relaxation techniques. And he taught me so well that I felt completely prepared on the day of the exam, so I had nothing to be nervous about! I actually scored 2 points higher than my highest practice test!"

Pros: Allowed me to turn on my computer if I performed a special ritual beforehand (see cons).
Cons: Computer would not turn on unless I cleared CMOS by removing battery. Once booted up everything ran fine. Tried everything I could think of using my years of experience with building/troubleshooting PCs, still could not get it to work. Ended up replacing it with a board from a different brand and the problem went away immediately.
Other Thoughts: First time with an AsRock, was doing a shoestring budget build thinking I could save a few bucks by going cheap on the motherboard... definitely learned a lesson there.READ FULL REVIEW

Pituitary apoplexy in a neuroendocrine emergency resulting from rapid enlargement of infarction of a hypophysial tumor.1 The provoking pathologic processes within the tumor may be hemorrhage, hemorrhagic infarction, or necrosis. The mortality of patients with pituitary apoplexy in various collected series is of the order of 45%,2-4 with about 15% of patients recovering spontaneously. The high mortality in this syndrome is in part related to failure of its prompt recognition, the frequently poor general status of the patients, and unnecessary delay in surgical intervention.1,2
Although pituitary apoplexy has been more commonly reported with chromophobe adenomas, it appears to occur with disproportionate frequency in the less-common eosinophilic adenomas.5 Taylor et al6 in 1968 reviewed 26 cases of well-documented pituitary apoplexy occurring in acromegaly and four more patients have been described since.7-9 Study of the endocrine status of acromegalic patients surviving this catastrophe, however, has been

Beautiful and peaceful bayfront home with casual coastal living décor. A charming piece of paradise offering open water views from family room, porch, beach and private 180+ foot dock. Fishing, snorkeling, swimming, canoeing, paddle boarding or simply laying on the hammock can be enjoyed from this private, water front, fenced-in property. This cozy hideaway, with all of the amenities for a memorable vacation, provides dining on the porch/beach overlooking the beautiful bay. Home is ideally located on a quiet cul-de-sac street, adjacent to Adams Cut, where deep sea fishing is just a short boat ride away on your own boat or one of many local fishing charters. Located just 65 minutes from Miami International Airport and minutes away from John Pennekamp State Park. Our house provides easy access to daily diving/snorkeling trips to Molasses Reef, the 510 ft USS Spiegel Grove and famous Christ of the Abyss underwater statue. Many nearby local restaurants to choose from, offering the best seafood and dining experience.
Meagan's Beach House is an extremely well appointed and impeccably well kept and clean home. While there are many homes in the neighborhood the home and property is laid out to make you feel like you are far from anyone. Very convenient to all local attractions or sit on the porch and stare at the beautiful bay. I would definitely stay here again.
Meagan's Beach House is exactly as you see on their website...inviting, relaxing, loved the beach theme and was completely furnished with anything that you would need. Groceries were the only things required; shopping and sightseeing nearby and easily accessible.
So enjoyed sitting on the covered deck or chairs out on the dock. Hint: always take your camera with you while walking the dock with morning coffee (or anytime). We saw fish, stingray and manatees.
We would highly recommend spending time at Meagan's Beach House as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Maria & Miguel!
What an amazing place to stay in the Keys. The house is beautifully decorated, and the location could not be beat. We were able to snorkel and canoe right out our back door, and we were even lucky enough to see manatees and dolphins. Mike and Maria were friendly and inviting hosts and were there to welcome us upon arrival with a basket full of fresh fruit and wine. I loved this place so much, I already booked a return trip! Thanks Mike and Maria for a wonderful stay, and see you soon!
Megan's Beach House, simply put, is perfect. The house is immaculate and everything that you would need is there for you. We stopped at a grocery store to get perishable items and that was it! The views at sunset are picture perfect. It's a very quiet area and so relaxing. I hope to return again because I don't have anything but compliments to give. Thanks Maria and Miguel for opening your home so others can enjoy too. :)
Thank you Miguel & Maria for opening your wonderful home for rent. We haven't been that relaxed in a very long time and we wanted to let everyone know, don't hesitate to rent this adorable home, you will not be disappointed!
Location, amenities, fully stocked for any cooking, dock, view, everything was pristine! Thanks again! See you soon!
The Beach House theme is consistently applied to this property from the front gate to the end of the dock creating a wonderful holiday atmosphere. We found the Beach House clean and comfortable and it couldn't be more fully equipped. The photos on the HomeAway web site reflect what we found in real life. The neighbourhood is quiet, yet close to shops and a good range of food outlets. The view from the back of the house is outstanding – plenty of passing boats to watch but not so close as to be intrusive. Sitting in the comfort of the verandah at the rear overlooking Blackwater Sound we were able to watch ospreys, kingfishers and pelicans fishing and we were visited by herons most days. From the dock we fed the fish (they seemed to like left over rice from the local Thai restaurant as well as bread and chopped shrimp) and saw a small stingray, tarpon and other smaller species, but the highlight was the group of seven manatees which swam in one calm evening, checked us out, decided we were harmless but not as interesting as the sea grass, so they just carried on feeding just a few feet from us. The manatees stayed for over an hour which was such a treat. From the Beach House it was easily possible to visit the Everglades and other wildlife sites in the Upper and Middle Keys. The snorkelling was good using the local dive company and we swam with barracuda and many other colourful fishes. We are saving up for a return visit.
Located in the Florida Keys and just 55 minutes from Miami International Airport. Beautiful bayfront home with easy access to fishing, jet skiing, parasailing, snorkeling, diving, canoeing and paddle boarding. Just minutes away to John Pennekamp State Park, Dolphins Cove and fine dining.
Other Activities: Parasailing, boating, jet skiing, stand up paddle surfing,waterpark activities

A positive theory of fixed-rate funds-supplying operations in an accommodative financial environment
This paper studies bidding behaviors in fixed-rate funds-supplying auctions using a simple game-theoretic model. While the existing literature argues that such auction schemes are vulnerable to the overbidding problem, the bid-to-cover ratio for the Bank of Japan's current fixed-rate operations has remained stable. After reviewing the stylized repo game and the mechanism of overbidding under the fixed-rate operations, we argue that the current framework of fixed-rate funds-supplying auctions operated by the Bank of Japan and the recent accommodative financial environment make bidders' loss functions locally satiated. Given this argument, it is shown that any stable bid-to-cover ratios other than either undersubscription or overbidding can be supported by an equilibrium. Finally, we empirically find that the ratio under the Bank of Japan operations has been influenced by such financial conditions proxied by market interest rates and term spreads.

Tottenville High School
STATEN ISLAND NY 10312 Map
Tottenville High School
Buses: S55, S56, S59, S78, X17
What's special:
The downside:
Our review:
Tottenville High School is a large, bustling zoned school on the southern tip of Staten Island. It has two small, selective institutes (one in humanities and one in math and science) for very high performing students and a Marine Corps Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program open to Staten Islanders who live outside the school zone.
Kids say they like Tottenville because it's like a little city with something for everyone. "The teachers make it a great environment," one junior told us at the high school fair. Sports are a big focus for the school community, and the school has a strong spirit. Many teachers are themselves Tottenville grads. Seniors can have a full schedule or a short day, ending school by noon, depending on their academic coursework; the school has one college guidance counselor, and individual guidance counselors that work with students over all four years of high school. Many students go to CUNY and SUNY schools; about 64 percent of graduates enroll in either 2- or 4-year colleges, according to the 2010-11 Progress Report.
Some ROTC students we spoke with plan to enter the military; others hope that the ROTC experience, including leadership training, will improve their college applications. (Students who are admitted as ROTC participants may transfer into Tottenville's other programs after a year, if they elect to do so.)
The school serves a range of students, and offers some Advanced Placement courses, along with subject tutoring and daily after-school credit-recovery classes for students who need to make up required coursework. Credit recovery classes are smaller than regular classes, which often max out at the legal cap of 34 – one boy we spoke with said his credit-recovery English class started with 20 students in September but dwindled to five by late October, because kids dropped out.
Ninety percent of the students responding to the Learning Environment Survey said they feel safe at school, and most teachers agreed the school is orderly. Kids told us security steps in quickly to resolve the occasional fights in the stairwells, bathrooms or lunchroom.
Special education: The school has a wide range of special education services, including self-contained classes, OT, PT, speech therapy and counseling. Nearly 500 students have individual education plans.
Admissions: Zoned high school. Students with grades of 90 over above in their core subjects may apply to the Classics Institute or the Science Institute. Admission to the Marine ROTC program is by the educational option formula designed to ensure a mix of low- average and high performing students. (Helen Zelon, high school fair, October 2011)

Larry Merchant Talks Mayweather-Ortiz, Floyd Dispute
By Chris Robinson
This past weekend in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was in the spotlight again for various reasons. The first and most notable being his shocking knockout over Victor Ortiz but the 34-year old superstar could also be found afterwards exchanging some heated words with HBO color analyst Larry Merchant.
Inside of the MGM Grand's Garden Arena, Mayweather, after a break from referee Joe Cortez, would hit Ortiz with a quick left hook that many have deemed to be a 'cheap shot' and followed it up with a right hand that left his opponent on the canvas until he was counted out. Not the victory anyone saw coming but certainly the type of ending that has left people buzzing.
Watching the Mayweather-Ortiz fiasco unfold from ringside, Merchant felt that he was watching a typical fight from Floyd.
"Mayweather was in charge of the fight," said Merchant. "He was very confident, obviously, going in of what he was going throw, particularly with the right hand. And Ortiz took most of them very well and then he was coming on a little bit at the end I thought. Trying to roughhouse on the ropes and impose his size. And that's when things jumped the shark."
While it's true that Mayweather was pot-shotting Ortiz, the younger fighter did have some moments of success when he rushed Floyd and Merchant wasn't 100% sure how the fight would have played out had the fourth round not ended so disastrously.
"Well, I think that Mayweather was already picking him apart. Whether Ortiz could have imposed his size and strength later in the fight, we really don't know. People will say that his plan was to come on but we don't know. Chances are Mayweather would have dealt with anything and what happened, happened. Mayweather hit him with a legal sucker punch," Merchant quipped.
Merchant had the duty of interviewing Mayweather in the ring following the contest but he irked the newly-crowned champion by suggesting that his actions were unfair. Mayweather would tell Merchant that he never gives him 'a fair shake' while Merchant returned fire by saying he would have kicked Floyd's a** had he been fifty years younger.
So, did the unexpected back and forthing rattle the veteran announcer?
"I've been doing it a long, long time and I've heard a lot," said Merchant. "My general attitude is, when a fighter gets out of line, people can see what they see and make their own judgments. But in this occasion there was some spontaneous combustion. And it led to where it led."
Love him or hate him, Merchant always had a knack for calling things as he seems them and he insists that because Mayweather is often under the world's microscope that he gets a different kind of treatment.
"That's my job. I sort of think, if you watch that telecast, we gave Mayweather all the props in the world and gave him credit and so on and so forth. He's in the public's eye and to me you don't judge an expensive restaurant like a hot dog stand. You judge them by different standards. He thinks that's unfair and that's what reporters and subjects have always dealt with."
I like Merchant. I didn't always. But he's very knowledgeable and he calls it as he sees it. He'll disagree with Lampley, RJJ or Steward if necessary. But I gotta agree with those who say he conducted Floyd's interview poorly.…Comment by fceeviper on 09-19-2011
