Track Test: Magnuson's 1934 CoupeWritten on October 26, 2004 We put the Magnuson Magna Charger '34 coupe to the test.
It's always fun to get out of the office. In this case, we were under the work-related guidelines of testing a '34 {{{Ford}}} full-fendered coupe. Of course, it didn't hurt that the PPG {{{Corvette}}} Millennium yellow coupe belonged to Jerry Magnuson of Magnuson Products in Ventura, California. The coupe is Jerry's cruise-night ride, but it also happens to be the companies "mule," and we write that affectionately, for product testing such items as the Retro Blessing powertrain kit.
While it's true that this Track Test is on a '34 Ford coupe, the article also centers around the performance of the Magnuson Products Retro Blessing plug-and-run engine package. Our test vehicle is equipped with a GM Performance Parts LS1 and a 4L60-E tranny, but the package you the street rodder can purchase is based on a LQ4 six-liter Gen 3 engine, including all accessories and brackets with the Magna {{{Charger}}} hot rod supercharger system. Coupled to the engine are a 4L65-E transmission, a Painless wiring harness, and a pre-programmed computer. The pre-programmed computer isn't programmed until you purchase the package. The computer is set-up once it's known where you live and what are your driving needs. The specific tune-ups are delivered to the customer through a Superchips Microtuner. The tuner is used to re-flash the stock GM computer. One of the reasons to use a stock computer is not only can you tune the engine, you can also do a complete calibration on the transmission. Also, if there is an issue with the tune-up and you get a "check-engine light," you can go to any GM dealer and have the problem diagnosed. In other words, you are an active participant in facilitating your Magna Charger LQ4 six-liter to perform optimally right out of the box. Now that's a crate motor!
The 4L65-E overdrive transmission is commonly found on the high-torque and horsepower Corvettes, and that's the reason the '65 was chosen to sit behind the six-liter motor. The pre-programmed computer operates both the engine and transmission in perfect harmony--addressing the desired shift points and firmness. The torque converter lockup is also determined for ideal shifting during hard acceleration and cruise situations. The ability to pre-program the tranny and the engine is essential when dealing with street rods whose combination of weight, gearing, and tire diameters is nothing like a conventional vehicle.
The Magnuson Products Retro Blessing kit is a complete engine with brackets and accessories, injectors, transmission, supercharger, intake manifold, fuel rails, wiring harness, and computer. The Magna Charger can be ordered with or without an intercooler. With intercooler the powerplant is capable of producing 500-plus horsepower and torque numbers.
Our Track Test coupe is equipped with an early Retro Blessing kit based on a LS1 and 4L60-E trans with a stock '00 {{{Camaro}}} engine calibration system. According to the Street Rodder Tech Center Dynojet chassis dyno, the coupe was consistently recording 320 horsepower to the rear wheels and just over {{{300}}} ft-lb of torque. Greater numbers escaped us because of the excessive tire spin. We loaded the trunk with weight and managed to see readings as high as 392 hp at the wheels along with 432 ft-lb torque. If you are wondering what the coupe weighs, it tips the scales at a solid 3,120 pounds divided between 1,520 pounds on the front axle and 1,{{{600}}} pounds on the rear axle.
It was verified that the Magnuson coupe was the 20th Poli-Form body built in 1983. What you see on these pages is a two-year resurrection of a car that was in serious neglect. Jerry, with plenty of help from Kevin McMillan and Wes Capel, brought the coupe back to life. The body rests on a S.A.C. chassis with a 114-inch wheelbase anchored in front via a Kugel Komponents IFS, power R&P steering, and a 7/8-inch antiroll bar, QA1 shocks, Wilwood 11-inch brakes (rotors) and proportioning valve, Corvette master cylinder, and an 8-inch dual diaphragm.
The rear suspension is based on a Ford 9-inch equipped with an Auburn limited-slip, 3.{{{90}}} gears, and Wilwood 11-inch discs. Also in back is a Panhard bar, Pro Shocks coilovers with {{{200}}}-pound springs, and a Gary Schroeder antiroll bar measuring 1 1/8 inches with Magnuson-fabricated arms and mounts. Wheel Vintiques Smoothie's are used with BFGoodrich rubber measuring P195/60R14 and 295/65R15.
Well, for the results. It was apparent that the EFI supercharged '34 coupe was a rocket to drive, and its starting and driving characteristics were like a new car. California Speedway in Fontana, California, is our home away from home (40-mile drive) for testing. This portion of the test allows us to negotiate morning and late-afternoon traffic--no picnic in any car, much less a street rod. However, the coupe was docile enough in traffic, and there were no engine or other mechanical problems of any kind. It was just a boring drive in early morning traffic on SoCal's freeway system. It should also be noted that Fontana is at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains where it is both hot and windy--all day! By 9:00 a.m. the ambient air temperature was already 88 degrees! And it just kept getting hotter. The cold-air intake package and the intercooler were primarily responsible for the exceptional dragstrip performance in the mid-90-degree temperatures.
For a full listing of the acceleration, braking, slalom, and skidpad numbers look to the listing at the end of this article but in the meantime here are the highlights: The quarter-mile was a very quick 11.71 at 117.16 mph making this one of the quickest cars we have tested to date. As it turns out, one of the more popular stats that we gathered was the 50- to {{{80}}}-mph number. This is what we call our freeway (insert your driving conditions, highway, country road, etc...) measurement for getting away from traffic. Here the coupe turned in a very quick 2.54 seconds to go from 50 to 80 mph.
There's a direct correlation between acceleration and braking. When there isn't enough "whoa" one must be careful about how much "go" to apply. With the coupe, it came in as one of the best-braking cars we have tested to date. The four-wheel-disc brake package from Wilwood brought the 3,120-pound coupe down from 60 to 0 miles per hour in 130.02 feet and from 30 to 0 in 30.07 feet. The coupe was capable of doing this repeatedly, another bonus of disc brakes over drums. (Should you find yourself having to make one panic stop after another on the street you might want to review your driving habits!) We would also have to say that the combination of Panhard bar and antiroll bars kept the car straight and true under the hard deceleration adding to the shortened distances. (Remember back to May '04 when we published the braking numbers for an '02 Z28 Camaro with four-wheel-disc brakes at 132 feet for 60 to 0.)
The skidpad portion of the testing was another area where the coupe performed well. The combination of a Panhard bar in back along with antiroll bars fore (7/8-inch) and aft (1 1/8-inch) allowed the coupe to get a "set" and stick to its line. The counterclockwise rotation yielded the best time with a 12-second versus a clockwise 12.20-second run. In terms of g-force, the 12-second run converts to .85 g-force and the 12.20 run a .82 g-force. Again, one of the better street rods we have tested.
The slalom (based on a 420-foot course with 70-foot cone separation) gives a very good idea on how the car will handle on the street or the highway. The ability to move a car suddenly, as in a lane change, is paramount to having what is considered a good-handling street rod. Again, the coupe came through with shining colors; there's that bright yellow again. The car was so much fun to drive that we must have made two-dozen passes on the slalom course, and it consistently turned in numbers right on 6.68 seconds, which converts to 43.35 mph. Ironically, the only other car that we have tested to best that time was the '33 Road Tour coupe tested in the May '04 issue. It turned in a 6.{{{57}}} seconds at 44.10 mph. What did these two cars have in common? Both had independent frontends and solid-axle rears. No question; a well set-up IFS is going to enhance both ride and performance. But then we probably knew that!
The '34 coupe has proven to be an ideal handling rod. This resulted from Jerry's added attention by experimenting with spring rates and dialing in the proper-diameter antiroll bars. But there's no denying that that the acceleration and drivability comes from the Magna Charger Retro Blessing supercharger kit that is more than an engine--a lot more.

The Retro Blessing kit for street rods is based on the LQ4 6L Gen 3 engine, however, our test mule had a stock LS1 (5.7L) with supercharger, intercooler, and cold air package adapted and it all fit under the Rootlieb hood.Note the top radiator tank and you will see the one significant modification to the street rod engine compartment to accommodate the cold air package.The IFD (Inlet Forward Design) Magna Charger is designed for street rods and allows the cooler air to be picked up from just behind the grille insert rather than the much hotter air from within the engine compartment.On the Dynojet chassis dynamometer in the Street Rodder Tech Center, the Magnuson Magna Charger coupe regularly recorded 320 hp and 300-plus lb-ft of torque readings at the rear wheels. It took added weight in the trunk to keep the tires from smoking under hard acceleration, and when this "game" was played, the horsepower and torque readings soared.On the 200-foot skidpad, the coupe ran consistent 12-second runs which converts into at .85 g-force (which equates to numbers better than a '02 Z28 Camaro).Even though the temperatures during the day were well into the 90s, the cold-air package and the intercooler kept the coupe running strong all day with quarter-mile times of 11.71 seconds at 117.16 mph. The best yet tested in this category.
Impressive numbers--if the acceleration doesn't do it for you--are the braking results. The Wilwood-equipped 3,120-pound street rod came down from 60-to-0 in 130.02 feet and from 30-to-0 in 30.07 feet. The best yet tested in this category.The Flaming River steering column is topped with a Lecarra wheel while other interior appointments include Lokar pedals, Vintage Air A/C, and a Classic Instruments gauge package residing within the Poli-Form dash insert.The center console provides excellent storage space and an ideal home for the Vintage Air A/C, power window switches, stereo, headlight, wiper, and ignition switches.Custom Interiors by Mike Harper of Camarillo, CA, upholstered a Glide Engineering bench seat with split fold-down backs in oyster-colored leather. The three-point seat belts come by way of Juliano's.Visible is the Kugel Komponents power rack-and-pinion steering and IFS, as well as the Wilwood 11-inch disc brake package.QA1 coilover shocks and a Kugel Komponents 7/8-inch antiroll bar are used and are a substantial part of the cars handling success.Note the 2 1/2-inch stainless steel exhaust pipe and crossover tube and how the pipe goes into and out of the same end of the Magnaflow mufflers. Exhaust exists to the side of the car rather than the conventional rear direction.

Best Boots I have used
Three boots are absolutely amazing. I didn't realize how much my previous boots were holding me back until I picked up these babies.
The heel hold is absolutely amazing, they keep my feet super warm and fit so well there is no need to have to friends hold you down when trying to tighten them lol.
These boots are the best all around I have ever used. I can shred the groomers with the best if em, kill the backcountry glad terrain and if I want to hit the terrain park on the same run and these boots kill it everywhere.
Give them a try and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
oh yea
Sick boots. Best boots i have ever had. Perfect stiffness and warm. I will always ride 32's
Anyone know how these boots fit? Im a 12...
Anyone know how these boots fit? Im a 12 in my other burtons. Dont want them being too big or small. thanks
I'd say pretty comparable, but maybe just about a half size smaller than Burton. I'm a snug 11.5 in my Burton Hail. I get about the same fit in a size 12.0 Thirty Two Tm-Two.

HUNTINGTON - Silver was the color of the night for area finalists Saturday at the West Virginia High School Wrestling Championships.
Cahmpionship competitors from Wheeling Park, John Marshall, Brooke and Madonna all finished second as the 66th annual event concluded at Big Sandy Superstore Arena.
Huntington won its first Class AAA championship, ending Parkersburg South's string of four straight. It also marked the first time a non-Parkersburg school won the crown since 2006 (Wheeling Park).

Wheeling Park's Dallas Baciak, bottom, battles Huntington's Jordan Allen in the Class AAA 113-pound final Saturday night at the State Wrestling Tournament in Huntington.
Greenbrier West garnered its first Class AA-A crown by edging Independence.
Park's first opportunity at a state championship ended quickly when Huntington's Jordan Allen tech falled Dallas Baciak, 15-0, in the second period of their 113-pound final. It was Allen's second straight title in the weight class.
Baciak finished his sophomore season (35-5) with his first state placement after finishing second at the Region One meet last week.
Jonny Davis (33-7) tried again for the Patriots in the 145-pound final. But he, too, fell to an experienced Highlander - Justin Arthur - by pin in 4:28.
''We came down here with goals of championships, obviously,'' Patriots coach Jack Doyle said. ''The guys wrestled there butts off all week. Every wrestler that came down scored points for us.
''With Dallas and Jonny we probably ran into maybe the two best wrestlers in the whole tournament. Sometimes that happens, but I couldn't be prouder.''
Doyle also provided an update of Cody Amos' condition. Amos, Park's 182-pound stalwart left Friday's quarterfinal match via medical squad.
''He's home and doing well,'' Doyle said. ''He has a concussion. He had a bloody nose and fainted. We don't know if (the concussion) happened when he fainted or during the match.''
John Marshall's junior Cullen Ebbert (41-4) hung tough with Parkersburg's Tyler Riddle, but Riddle came on late and posted an 8-4 victory in the 220-pound finale. Riddle turned the tables after falling to Ebbert at the Region One meet.
Ebbert was fourth at 220 pounds last season.
Preston's Terrance Fanning dethroned Brooke senior Nate Dawson (44-6) as 195-pound champion. In a rematch of last week's regional final won by Fanning, the junior captured his first state crown with a 6-3 victory.
Dawson finished his career with a state championship, two state runner-ups and a fourth-place showing in 2010.
Madonna's Garrett Hypes (28-4) finished second after dropping a 5-2 verdict to Greenbrier West's Malik Boatwright in the Class AA-A 152-pound final. Boatwright, who won his first state title after finishing third and second the past two seasons, finished 42-0.
Hypes, a senior, was third in 2010 at 130.
In the final match of the night, Ripley's Daryl Hicks won his first state title by topping Morgantown's Taylor Ortiz.
In Park's consolation bouts early Saturday, Geremy Paige garnered third place at 195 by pinning Ripley's Gregorio Medina in 2:43. The Patriots' Dylan Taylor went 1-for-1 and finished fourth at 138, while Danny Colby finished fourth at 160.
John Marshall's Zach Tubaugh clinched fifth place at 113 with a 13-2 major decision of Parkersburg's Nick Johnson.
Brooke's Skippy Scurry was fourth at 182, while the Bruins' Dillon Shaw won fifth at 152 by besting Parkersburg South's Jake Alexander, 4-1. Brooke's Preston Wise was sixth (285). He was injured during his fifth-place match and had to withdraw.
Earlier Saturday, Oak Glen's Kyle Mack wrapped up a third-place showing at 126 with a 1-0 triumph against North Marion's Ryan Arnett. Mack's teammate, Josh Cornell, was fourth at 120, while Oak Glen sophomore Danny Wyke was sixth at 113.
Cameron's Dillon Blake concluded his fourth state tournament by taking third at 145 by blanking Independence's Dustin Justice, 3-0. The Dragons' Dalton Wood ended up fourth at 106.
Magnolia's Jared Wright also took third, pinning Fairmont Senior's Jaron Summers in 3:30.

Droplet Breakup in a T-junction
Application ID: 1994
Emulsions consist of small liquid droplets immersed in an immiscible liquid and widely occur in the production of food, cosmetics, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical products. The quality of the product is typically dependent on the size of the droplets. Simulating these processes can help in optimizing these droplets as well as other process variables.
This model studies the volume mass fraction of the immersed fluid in an emulsion. From the results, the creation of the droplet is clearly seen. Factors such as fluid flow and additive chemicals can also be studied to see how they affect droplet size and formation.

Goscinny, drawn by Uderzo
René Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926. He moved with his parents to Argentine when he was two years old. He attended the French school in Buenos Aires, where his father became a teacher of mathematics, and published his first illustrations and texts in the school bulletins Notre Voix and Quartier Latin. In 1942, he graduated as a Fine Arts student, only a month before his father died. René found a job at a tyre factory, and when he was laid off he became a junior illustrator at an advertising agency.
In 1945, his uncle invited him and his mother to visit him in the Unites States, and there Goscinny found a job as translator. He was drafted into army service, which he served in France. When he returned, he settled in Brooklyn and started pursuing an artistic career. In 1948, he became assistant in a small studio where he met young American artists Harvey Kurtzman, Willy Elder, John Severin and Jack Davis, who would be the founders of MAD magazine in 1952. He also met Joseph Gillain, better known as Jijé, and Maurice de Bévère, who signed his work Morris. He would work with Morris on the comic series 'Lucky Luke' from 1955 until his death in 1977.
René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo at the Asterix anniversary in 1967
He also met Georges Troisfontaines, chief of the World Press agency, a firm that delivered comics to Spirou magazine. Goscinny wrote some 'Belles Histoires de l'Oncle Paul', as well as an episode of 'Jerry Spring'. Goscinny became head of the Paris office of World Press. Here, he met Albert Uderzo, with whom he started a longtime cooperation. They started out with some work for Bonnes Soirées, a female magazine for which Goscinny also produced 'Sylvie' with Martial. Goscinny began a collaboration with La Libre Junior in 1952, and stayed there until 1957. He created the humorous 'Jehan Sepoulet' and 'Luc Junior' with Uderzo, as well as 'Fanfan et Polo' with Dino Attanasio and 'Alain et Christine' with Martial.
Dutch version of Capitaine Bibobu (Risque-Tout #8, 1956)
In 1955, Goscinny, accompanied by Charlier, Albert Uderzo and Jean Hébrard, founded the syndicate Edipress/Edifrance. The syndicate launched publications like Clairon for the factory union and Pistolin for a chocolate company. Goscinny and Uderzo cooperated on the series 'Bill Blanchart' in Jeannot, 'Pistolet' in Pistolin and 'Benjamin et Benjamine' in the magazine of the same name. Goscinny drew ' Le Capitaine Bibobu' by himself in Risque-Tout in 1955/56. Under the pseudonym Agostini, Goscinny created 'Le Petit Nicolas' with Jean-Jacques Sempé in Le Moustique and later Sud-Ouest and Pilote.
In 1956, Goscinny began a collaboration with the magazine Tintin. He wrote some short stories for Jo Angenot and Albert Weinberg, and worked on 'Signor Spaghetti' with Dino Attanasio, 'Monsieur Tric' with Bob De Moor, 'Prudence Petitpas' with Maréchal, 'Globul le Martien' and 'Alphonse' with Tibet, 'Modeste et Pompon' with André Franquin, 'Strapontin' with Berck and 'Oumpah-Pah' with Uderzo. In addition, Goscinny appeared in the magazines Paris-Flirt ('Lili Manequin' with Will), Vaillant ('Boniface et Anatole' with Jordom, 'Pipsi' with Godard) and Jours de France ('Gaudéamus', 'La Fée Aveline' and 'Yvette' with Coq).
Goscinny portrait by Roba
In 1959, the Édifrance/Édipresse syndicate launched the magazine Pilote. Goscinny became one of the most productive writers for the magazine. In the magazine's first issue, he launched his most famous creation, 'Astérix', with Uderzo. This series was an instant hit and is now known worldwide. Goscinny also restarted the series 'Le Petit Nicolas' and 'Jehan Pistolet', now called 'Jehan Soupolet'. Goscinny also began 'Jacquot le Mousse' and 'Tromblon et Bottaclou' with Godard.
The magazine was bought by Georges Dargaud in 1960, and Goscinny became editor-in-chief. He also began new series like 'Les Divagations de Monsieur Sait-Tout' (with Martial), 'La Potachologie Illustrée' (with Cabu), 'Les Dingodossiers' (with Gotlib) and 'La Forêt de Chênebeau' (with Mic Delinx). With Tabary, he launched 'Calife Haroun El Poussah' in Record, a series that was later continued in Pilote as 'Iznogoud'.
Besides comics, Goscinny has also written a lot for television. But it was through the great success of 'Astérix' and 'Lucky Luke' that Goscinny became one of the most important and famous scenarists of the European comic.

Hi All,
I have set up a second zimbra OS server, this one for a client.
On the first zimbra server (5.09 debian) I have my thunderbird client
184.108.40.206 with lightning 0.8. Everything is great! I can create/delete/edit/dismiss calender entries no problems.
On the new install, I have issues.
In lightning..
Cannot dismiss event notifications. There was a bug in 5.08 which was fixed in 5.09. But it doesnt work on this case.
Cannot edit existing events.
Cannot delete existing events.
From My laptop, which works fine with my first zimbra install, I connected to the second zimbra server and had the bad results, so I am reasonably confident it is a zimbra issue, but dont know where to look.
Both servers were initially installed as 5.08 and upgraded to 5.09.
thanks in advance.

Ohio Players frontman Sugarfoot dead at 70
I am extremely sad to report that Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner, the colorful and flamboyant lead singer for the Ohio Players, died yesterday at the age of 70.
UPDATE: In an official family statement released by Scott Hanover the family said, "Yesterday, Leroy 'Sugarfoot' Bonner passed away quietly in his hometown of Trotwood-Dayton, OH. While his family, friends, colleagues, and fans mourn his passing they celebrate fondly his memory, music, and legacy."
The statement continued, "Humble yet charismatic, soft spoken and of few words, the weight of his thoughts, lyrics, and music has influenced countless other artists, songs, and trends. He will be missed but not forgotten as his legacy and music lives on. More details and an official historical perspective of his career will soon be forthcoming.
His Facebook page is available to all to post comments, reflections, and testimonials of this wonderful and gifted man: https://www.facebook.com/sugarfootsohioplayers."
The Ohio Players were originally formed in Dayton, Ohio in 1959, and were known as the Ohio Untouchables. After a brief breakup the band regrouped in 1963 adding Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner on lead guitar and eventually he went on to front the band.
The band's first big hit single was "Funky Worm", reaching #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and made the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1973, selling over one million copies.
The band had seven Top 40 hits between 1973 and 1976 including, "Fire," "Love Rollercoaster" and "Who'd She Coo?"
Recently the master of funk brought the Ohio Players to Thunder Valley Casino Resort (read review). Sugarfoot was helped onstage and appeared frail. However, backstage he was jovial and very friendly to the staff and fans as they lined up to meet the '70s icon.

About Me College Student
Comments about MH2001 5-in-1 Wireless Headphones w/Microphone Emitter & FM Radio - Listen to Music, Chat Online & Monitor Other Rooms!:
I really expected more. The audio quality is quite stunning for such low price... when you use them plugged in directly to your pc/mp3. When trying to use them with a transmitter (wirelessly) these headphones turn into a static-pushing garbage, the audio quality stays the same but the static really gets in the way. Also, these headphones are really small. I don't have the biggest head but I still feel how hard they are pressing my ears, which they barely reach I might add... Maybe it was something I've done wrong, I don't know but I was very disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just what I wanted
By forever student

About Me Retired
Really a great value if it will work for your TV / Serio setup. It has adapters for RCA, 3.5 mini jack (ipod, computer), and older standard sterio jack. I doesn't have a digital or optical connection as on some new TV's. You do have to read the directions to connect the headphones to the transmitter. Turn on, press reset, press scan and it connectes first time every time. Not too hard. The FM radio also works great. Just decided to order two more for friends that are hard of hearing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fine print - November 2011
At the risk of inadvertently echoing former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his known knowns and known unknowns, let me postulate the following regarding the future of Bank of America Corp.: We know what we know,we know what we dont know, and at some point well think the unthinkable. The time has arrived for the latter.
Actually, Ive already started. In recent weeks Ive found myself returning to the idea that the Charlotte-based behemoth will not survive. The first couple of times that thought popped up, it felt like one of those outlandish theories you know is crazy, such as the one peddled by 9/11 truthers, but you get a cheap thrill by entertaining it a few moments. After a while, it stopped being crazy and started taking on the feel of something that falls somewhere between unlikely and possible. Nowadays, depending on the latest news and level of investor confidence, my mental meter swings between those two but increasingly more toward possible.
Lets start with what we know. BofA stock is, as of this writing, down 60% from its 2011 peak and 89% from late 06, when its price hit a historic high. The bank is cutting staff, the government ordered it to limit its dividend to a token penny a share, and unhappy investors who bought its securities practically have to take a number at the courthouse to await their turn to sue. BofA has been selling assets to raise cash and is reportedly considering putting its Countrywide Financial Corp. subsidiary into bankruptcy to keep it from dragging the whole thing into the abyss. (That nugget came from The Charlotte Observer, which cited four unnamed people, obviously insiders. Apparently, Im not the only one pondering worst-case possibilities.)
What we dont know is how much damage the various lawsuits over mortgage-backed securities will wreak. BofA, judging by how much money it has set aside to settle claims, puts the number at $30 billion. But its potential liability is in the hundreds of billions of dollars, according to some estimates. In September, federal regulators sued 17 banks over mortgage-backed securities sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and The New York Times estimated that BofAs exposure in that case alone could be as high as $57 billion. To put that into context, BofAs market valuation at the moment is $62 billion.
There are three ways for the bank to find its way out of this thicket. Theres a market solution, a legal solution and a political solution. The odds against any of them working are discouragingly high.
The market solution the course BofA has embarked upon is to cut costs, sell assets, maybe issue more stock to meet capital requirements, and generally grind along until the economy rights itself. There are formidable problems with this plan: The only assets anyone wants to buy generate cash for the bank, and this is not the moment for BofA to shed revenue-producing operations; issuing more stock dilutes an already beleaguered share price; and its hard to make a compelling case that the economy is going to bounce back anytime soon.
A legal solution, then? Its possible BofA could make its problems go away with the $30 billion it has earmarked to settle the various claims against it. That will happen as soon as Americas commercial litigators simultaneously announce that their highest service to mankind is to stay out of the courtroom to ladle soup at the homeless shelter.
That leaves a political solution. In this scenario, BofA is helped by its size: Its failure would almost certainly reverse what small steps toward recovery the economy is making and politicians know where the blame would fall. So theres an incentive for them to orchestrate a sweeping settlement of all claims involving mortgage securities, a la the tobacco settlement of the 90s, and engineer a way to undo the logjam of foreclosures.
But theres political risk in that course, too. With the exception of a few casualties such as Lehman Bros. and Wachovia, Wall Street was left relatively unscathed by the mortgage meltdown it created, certainly in a legal sense (almost nobodys gone to jail) and generally in a financial sense (BofAs troubles are unique, fueled largely by its acquisition of Countrywide). Everyone has noticed this lack of consequence to an industry that, by the very act of initiating a foreclosure, insists that consequences must be paid when the mortgage isnt. Its not hard to imagine the Obama administration, which rarely hesitates to score political points at the expense of the wealthy, sacrificing BofA to the Occupy Wall Street mob and like-minded souls who believe the lords of finance got away with something.
And they did, though on balance BofA got away with less than others. Therein lies the irony: Our homegrown giant didnt generate problems as much as it bought them. Thats a helluva thing to get the death penalty for.

Actor Mikael Persbrandt has been sentenced to five months in jail for buying cocaine.
The Swedish star, who played Beorn in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," was charged alongside 10 others after his details were found in a drug dealer's phone last year.
At the District Court of Stockholm on Tuesday, he was found guilty of buying 12 grams of cocaine and handed a five-month custodial sentence.
The 50-year-old had denied the allegations, with his lawyer arguing that someone else had used his phone at a party.
Persbrandt is waiting to hear if he has the right to appeal.

Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery.

|A combination of seasoned dry bread crumbs and panko make for some yummy fried cheese sticks! Try them with a super easy homemade marinara sauce.
Fried Mozzarella Cheese SticksI have really been loving the panko bread crumbs ever since they became more widely available in our supermarkets. Great for topping casseroles or on stuffed squash, they add such a nice crunch to dishes where you would have normally used a soft or dried bread crumb before, and I like crunch! I still wanted to use the Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs here for the flavor, so I settled on using a bit of both, and it worked out great.
For these I just used the good ole snackin' string cheese and cut them in half. The hardest part of that is unwrapping each stick, but if you have a few little sous chefs running around in your household, that'd be a great job for them. I tried them in both the deep fryer and a skillet, and while the skillet was much less messy, I liked the way that they fried up much better in the deep fryer, though be warned. The panko will likely leave behind a bit of a mess in your deep fryer oil.
Whichever way you choose, make sure to use fresh oil, and watch them closely because they literally only take seconds to brown up and if you go a millisecond too long, they will burst and ooze out cheese. Be sure to drain them on a rack, because some cheese is likely to seep out anyway and will cause them to stick to paper towels.
I made up a very simple Rotel marinara dipping sauce that was just perfect for these. A delicious finger food snack, perfect for snacking on while watching tv or the football game - hope you enjoy them!
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Recipe: Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep/Cook time: 15 min | Yield: 24 pieces
- 12 mozzarella cheese sticks
- Self-rising flour
- Couple dashes of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup of Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs
- Oil for frying
- Marinara Dipping Sauce
Heat enough canola oil in a skillet to completely cover cheese sticks or preheat a deep fryer to 360 degrees. Cut each of the cheese sticks in half crosswise. Set up three bowls and a plate; place the flour and Cajun seasoning in the first bowl, beat together the egg and water in the second bowl, and mix together both of the bread crumbs in the third bowl.
Roll the cheese sticks first in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, roll in the bread crumbs and place onto the plate. Repeat with all of the cheese sticks. Place a rack over a tray of paper towels.
Drop several sticks into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd. Drop and fry (or cook and turn if using a skillet) only about 15-20 seconds total, or until light golden brown. Keep an eye on them because if you go too long the cheese will ooze out! Remove from the fryer and place onto the rack to drain.
Serve immediately with marinara dipping sauce.

Hey Guys,
I am new to metta meditation, but I am not new to meditation. I have used holosync, which is a binural beat program, for awhile. I have also used lifeflow, and regular meditation. Metta meditation is completely new to me. I have been trying it and it is making me feel highly nervous and stressed out. I work in sales, and I use to use my hatred and anger as confidence, and it served me well. However, now I have chosen to flow love towards my boss and others who are negative toward me. I say to myself " (Boss Name) be free from anger, be free from danger, be at ease in all aspects of life, be happy, be healthy. I just feel a major loss of power, and I cannot correctly explain this feeling. Is this what it feels like to have my ego decimated ?

|Veteran appreciates recognition
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
I want to show appreciation to the Enterprise and ad sponsors who were responsible for the recognition of those who have, and are, serving in the military for our country. I read every word of it and it is surprising what we learn about people we have known for many years.
These people represent many interesting stories that have never been told. Young people should be talking to their parents and grandparents to learn more about these personal histories before they are lost by time. Fewer than two million veterans from the 16 million men and women who served in World War II are still living and, as reported on national news a couple of weeks ago, are dying at the rate of 741 a day.
Don't stop there. Many more stories are available from the veterans of Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East and other parts of the world. Printed history represents facts; people history made the printed history what it is.
Rich Brown,

CONYERS, Ga. -- No amount of teddy bears, flowers or candles can end the pain felt by many in Rockdale County.
But Wednesday night, dozens gathered on Pinedale Circle in Conyers, stacking small keepsakes in front of the burned home where four children lost their lives.
RELATED | 4 children die in Conyers fire
MORE | Send a message of support to the family
Four young children, ranging from ages 8 months to 9 years, died when a fire broke out in their home Tuesday night. Deon Glass, Jr., Armoni Roberts, Dar'Shawn Glass and Ah'Dariya Glass never made it out of the house.
Their mother, Reeba Glass, was able to throw their 6-year-old brother to safety from a second floor window. Those two, along with the children's grandmother, survived.
"You feel so empty," said cousin Rebecca Bailey. "You just want to do something when tragedy like this hits, and it's so close to home."
Bailey was among several relatives gathered at Wednesday night's vigil. Xavier Shepherd had been at the house only three days earlier, playing in the yard at a family gathering. One of his final memories was tossing around a football with his cousin, 7-year-old Dar'Shawn Glass, who died in the fire.
"I just remember having a real good time with them," Shepherd said.
As news of the tragedy spread, people throughout metro Atlanta looked for ways to help the family.
Rockdale County commission chair Richard Oden said he spent Wednesday fielding calls from people around the state.
"We're going to wrap our arms around this family," he said. "It's heart touching to be able to see that the community cares."
Funeral services have been donated by Levett and Sons Funeral Home in Conyers. George Levett told 11Alive the funeral will take place Saturday, Jan. 19. The date was pushed back to allow their mother, Reeba Glass, to be released from the hospital to attend her children's service.
A memorial fund has been established for the Glass Family through Wells Fargo.

Lamar-Iowa State Declared a "No Game"
BATON ROUGE, La. – Iowa State's game against Lamar Sunday to close the Purple and Gold Challenge will go down in the history books as a "no game" due to both teams not completing five full innings. Iowa State remains 14-4 on the season.
Due to the game before the Cyclones and Cardinals, Jackson State vs. Harvard, going 10 innings the LU-ISU game start time was pushed back an hour. Before the game, both teams' head coaches and the umpire crew agreed upon a drop dead time to ensure that Iowa State had enough time to make its flight.
Here is the official statement from the Purple and Gold Challenge tournament administration:
Due to the mutual agreement by the head coaches and lead umpire Brad Newton on a drop dead time of 3 p.m. due to travel arrangements for Iowa State prior to the start of the game, Game 12 of the Purple and Gold Challenge between Lamar and Iowa State is a No Contest since the game was called in the bottom of the fifth and five innings were not completed, which must be needed in order to be considered a regulation game per rule 6.18 of the NCAA Softball Rule Book. It states: "'No game' shall be declared by the umpire if he/she terminates play before five innings have been completed by each team."
Iowa State finished the tournament with a 2-2 record, picking up wins over Harvard and Jackson State. The ISU infield duo of Sara Davison and Lexi Slater were named to the Purple and Gold Challenge All-Tournament Team. Davison hit .429 on the weekend while recording two stolen bases. Slater led ISU with a .462 batting average and a team-high six RBIs, five coming in ISU's 16-0 win over Jackson State.
On Deck
Iowa State will play in the Shocker Softball Classic at Wichita State next weekend. ISU starts tournament play Friday at 3:30 p.m. Saturday will feature a doubleheader against North Dakota and Kansas City that will begin at 10:30 a.m. The tournament will conclude against the hosts Wichita State next Sunday at 3 p.m.

[add address of Senator]
I am writing to express my deep concern about the prevalence of child marriage in a number of countries around the world and the severe negative physical, emotional, psychological, educational and sexual implications of such marriage on girls, including death in some cases.
Child marriages violate the human rights of girls by excluding them from decisions regarding the timing of marriage and choice of spouse. Health-related impacts of early marriage and pregnancy according to the United Nations include higher risks of HIV infection, death in labor, septic abortion, still births, pregnancy-induced hypertension, puerperal sepsis and obstetric fistula. Early marriage also jeopardizes girls' right to formal education, which ends upon marriage. Moreover, international research has shown that married girls have few social connections, restricted mobility, limited control over resources and little or no power in their new households, and that domestic violence is common in child marriages.
The International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act of 2009 (S. 987/H.R. 2103) authorizes U.S. foreign assistance programs to prevent child marriage and provide educational and economic opportunities for girls around the world. As a Senator, I urge you to cosponsor the Act and ensure that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee takes up the bill in September. Please take action on this issue so that efforts to eradicate child marriages, which undermine our government's efforts to empower women around the world, can be expanded and girls around the world are given a better chance to realize their potential.
I thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely

Go for it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was finally talked into putting this on my rear. I don't know what took so long. The grip railing are well beyond any other tire I've used. I have used these in Utah (mtns and desert) and they are the bees knees.
My favorite
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used this tire in various widths on all my mountain bikes. It provides excellent traction and a very predictable feel.
These are the 70a which means they are made of a very hard compound. That makes them great for desert riding or cheapskates.
Amazing grip!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These tires rail through the corners. They are a heavier than a lot of tires, but its worth the penalty. Rear tire always feels glued. They roll reasonably fast too. Great trail tire.
Run this on the rear.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have run Maxxis High Rollers on my rear tires for years. These work great in dry conditions here in UT and I run this UST on a Mavic Crossmax SX on my Nomad c. These tires work excellent both climbing and have excellent grip when cornering.
Love it
I am running a 2.35 LUST. Not too heavy but still tough enough to get the job done. Corners like it is on rails and not to heavy to pedal up. I think this is a great trail tire for any condidtions.
Good for what it does, but be careful...
While it does give exceptionally small rolling resistance, which is killer for those hardcore climbers out there, be sure to get the correct width to match the type of biking being done. I got a 26x2.1 width tire for 50/50 XC/AM riding and while it climbed superbly and descended well in grippy terrain, the loose stuff (very loose rock or sand) going downhill tended to shake the High Roller at that width. I'm sure that a wider version of this tire would give a better feel on the looser DH conditions though.
High Roller 60a
super gnarly tires. the higher rolling resistance is not noticeable.
they grip like no other and handle very well on wet/snow packed trails. this will be my second season using these tires.
i would definitely recommend.
High Roller
I have put a seasons worth of riding on the 2.35 60a, and am surprised how well they have lasted. The 60a I have run for DH wore out fast. These saw minimal pavement virtually all trail riding. They grip to roll ratio is good. I would buy these again.
Maxxis High Roller
The Maxxis High Roller Mountain Bike Tire is a great tire. As has been said here already, runs great on the front or back. Excellent downhill tire as well. This has low rolling resistance and climbs surprisingly well. Also, a varying degrees of durometer allow this tire to fit the needs of just about anyone.
Fastest DH Tire Period
If you want to roll fast on your heavy DH rig this is the ticket. The side knobs are awesome and will hold on any off camber corner. The range of sizes kicks butt, as well as the Durometer (Rubber Compound). I run 2.5 3C front and back for almost all DH applications. 2.35 is great for all mountain bikes. I have a bunch of friends that aren't quite over the Maxxis Minion in the front so they just have this as a rear tire.
High Roller
These work awesome as a front or rear tire. The other great thing is that not only do they have different widths, but different rubber densities for tweakability. I'm running a 2.35 up front and a 2.1 in the rear with a slightly harder compound. 2.1 sheds mud really well but mind you it is a SMALL 2.1 if not a 1.9-2.0. Still if you're riding a soft-tail, just run a high pressure and the pinching won't be an issue. I haven't yet found a condition that doesn't suit these. I can climb out of saddle on slick hardpack and she still hooks up. A heavier tire that's worth every penny!

Nestled among the skyscrapers in midtown Manhattan is the headquarters of Bristol-Myers Squibb. If you enter at Lexington Avenue—away from the austere grand entrance—you'll meet Ralph, an elderly security guard who has stood watch there since Peter Dolan joined BMS in 1988.
The fact that Dolan has managed to smile and extend pleasantries, even in the midst of a media hailstorm, is a testament to his good nature—but probably even more so to his endurance. After all, just days before Dolan met with Pharm Exec for an interview, BMS struck an agreement with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to settle criminal charges related to the allegation that, by giving wholesalers incentives to stockpile drugs, it had inflated revenues by billions of dollars. The DOJ agreed to defer prosecution. BMS agreed, among other things, to pay $300 million, bringing the total penalties associated with the incident to $839 million—and closing a nearly three-year investigation.
Dolan maintains his post as CEO, but he hasn't walked through these issues unscathed. As part of the agreement with federal prosecutors, Dolan has turned over his title of chairman to long-time board member James D. Robinson III. He also has what Deutsche Bank's pharmaceutical analyst Barbara Ryan calls "a full-time cadre of baby-sitters" to ensure the company stays on the straight and narrow.
"Until 2007, BMS will lose between $1 to $1.5 billion a year," says Dolan. "But 2007 to 2011 looks like a potentially attractive period for the company."

When I think of Springtime I think 'fresh' and 'new'. So for me, spring-cleaning means picking up all the nick-knacks in life and making a fresh start. As a teenager, spring-cleaning can be a pain in the derrière! Spring-cleaning can be a long process and it can last for multiple days. Like a lot of people/teenagers, I don't have a large attention span, so I usually start complaining after the first hour or so. Therefore, by my own admission, I usually spend more energy complaining then actually doing the cleaning.
I don't like spring-cleaning because it means that on top of my usual chores of vacuuming, taking out the trash, washing dishes and cleaning my room, I have to do even more. This is the season to go through the clothes in my closet and make sure everything still fits. It is also the season to do some deep cleaning. And to make sure everything is super clean I've got to get down and scrub that tile floor! It is about cleaning that oven and scraping the food off the stove. Spring-time is also allergy season. So, to make life less miserable for family or friends with allergies, we want to make sure we clean out all those dust bunnies under our beds and couches before they come over.
It's also very important to make sure I cleanse my mind. I love this kind of spring-time cleaning because it is a time for me to focus on my thoughts. I like to meditate in my room by myself and just picture myself in a meadow surrounded by nature. You can take yourself out of your busy life to just be alone even if it is for just a few minutes. It is really a healthy thing to do. Springtime is fresh and new so you should give your mind a new start, too.
Have you ever gone through old photos and found pictures you didn't know you had? Well, I've started doing that and it is really nice to see how people in my life have changed. I found this one picture of my friend when we were in fourth grade and he was eating a cookie. I had no idea that I had that picture and neither did he. So, when I sent it to him he was quite shocked to see himself as a fourth grader, again. It's so much fun to look at old photos, it's like traveling back in time and seeing everyone when they were younger. But it's really hard to look at those pictures when they are all over the place. There are some in this box and some in that box and there's some in that drawer, and nowadays people put their pictures on their computers, too. So take time out of your deep cleaning and spend time sorting old memories.
Sure, the actual cleaning isn't any fun, but doesn't it feel great at the end when you can say, 'I cleaned the house!' or 'I took time and meditated today!' or even 'I looked through and cataloged my photos today'. You don't have to do everything in one day. Do a little bit each day and you'll be done in no time!
