un-edited look into the mindset of a sheep...
It contantly amazes me how easily people are willing to give up basic rights and regurgitate this garbage...
Here is a conversation I had with a relative, basically all day yesterday. I just dont get it.... How can you discard the constitution as a whole as a "Old out of date document" ?
Is it old? absolutely! however it is absolutely the most relevant document ever written right now.
Here is un edited (other than name changes obviously), discussion. Note I have known this person for a very long time and we would never get in the mud of name calling and such. this is a proper discussion with real answers and thoughts.
Absolutely baffles me....

I had a conversation today with someone who adamantly objected to banning assault weapons. I said, "Why do private citizens have any need for assault weapons?" Answer: "Because, they're fun to shoot. Target practice and stuff."
20 First grade students = 40 mothers and fathers and 80 Grandparents. That's 120 people (and countless brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and friends) grieving the loss of innocent children.
I challenge you to sit in a room with those 120 grieving people and explain how "fun" assault weapons are, and how important they are in your life. If you could do that with a clear conscience, then you, my friend, may go **** yourself. And that's all I will say about this situation.

Sheeple 1 I highly doubt any one of those grieving people wouldn't object to banning assault weapons. Most states do allow AR 15's for hunting besides target practice. Personally, I do not own a fire arm and there should be some kind of way to limit the selling of them. I think people should have to go through a psych evaluation before being able to buy a fire arm. But, that still doesn't stop the crazies from stealing someone else's or stabbing someone to death, or catching someone on fire, or running someone over with a car, and any other way of causing people harm.

Sheeple 2 The situation is terrible and my heart goes out to all the families and friends of everyone that had died. I also think it was nice of Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart to suspend to selling of guns at this time.

Supporter 1 Fact is, we need to be able to defend our selves. Possibly from a military style attack. Those guns didn't belong to the shooter. They belong to his mother. At which, she new her son was nuts and didn't properly stow away her guns. Civilian arms should match that of law enforcement. The problem there, law enforcement is starting to act like military. Let's ban government drones since they have killed 100's innocent children. Oh wait, that's not important, they weren't American.

2nd amendment supporter Those are not assault rifles. They are semi automatic rifles that are meant to look like assault rifles.
The bottom line is it could have been any rifle or handgun. Heck it could have been a shotgun. The argument does not change.

Sheeple 2 Constitution was written by men several yrs ago, in a completely different era, whom were building a country based on anti-British rule. God given rights? Who says? A bunch of holier-than-thou men? What about the god given rights of the natives or spaniards that were around long before the European run-aways? Not that I'm trying to bash the constitution... but I think people that preach about our "god given rights" are silly. What about the god given right of those 20 children to live a full and happy life? I'm not a very religious person, but I think the 10 commandments are morally stronger than than the Constitution. And I don't know what the best answer on gun control is. I just know that humans, by nature, are careless and selfish and typically (as a whole) only behave while under the influence of accountability. You don't bounce a check to avoid the fees charged by the bank. You avoid war because of the impact it'll have on your allies. You filter what you post on fb because of the "friends" that might see it and get offended. Everyone responds to accountability all the time. If our government decides that the best way to hold most Americans accountable is to do so with gun control... so be it. I'm a parent of 3 kids... and if any of my kids were hurt because of someone else's negligence and lack of accountability (be it guns, drugs, alcohol, texting while driving, etc), you can bet your ass I'd be pushin' for more of it!

Sheeple 1 This isn't a debate, just a convo. LOL. But I never said to abolish the 2nd amendment. I clearly said, "I don't know what the best answer on gun control is." I, too, am from a family of redneck hunters and gun-lovers. I DO believe that people are the problem, not the guns. I'm simply saying that as a group, humans will not always do what's right (thanks to our god-given free will)... regardless of the amt of control... regardless of what the founding fathers of America wrote. *And I hope Ron doesn't unfriend you for having an opinion, to each his own.

Anti-Gun Support The Second Amendment protects an individual right to bear arms as such arms existed at the ratification.
Arms in 1791
Let's look at arms specifically, guns as they existed at the time of the ratification.
Guns in 1791 WOULD
...be made by a gunsmith.
...have rudimentary rifling.
...be single-shot weapons.
...be loaded through the muzzle.
...fire by means of a flintlock.
Guns in 1791 WOULD NOT
...have interchangeable parts. (Popularized in 1798)
...be revolvers. (Invented in 1835)
...be breachloaded. (Popularized in 1810)
...use smokeless powder. (Invented in 1885)
...use a percussion cap, necessary for modern cartridged bullets. (Invented in 1842)
...load bullets from a clip. (Invented in 1890)

Anti-Gun Support Fact is, I don't own a gun. I don't want to. I don't need to. I've lived to be 34 years old without one. Therefore, I won't fight for the right to keep one. That's on gun owners. PS, just because you say "The bottom line is..." doesn't mean thats the bottom line. In my opinion, we are a country of paranoid gun loving fear mongers. My question to you gun lovers...Do you own a gun? Has it ever saved your life? Have you ever saved anyone else's life with it? To me, "just in case" isn't a good enough reason to have 20 dead kids.

LOL. We'd both rather pay for a kick ass security system to keep the "simple burglars" away. The crazies... well... there's no protection from them, really... they'll find a way.

Sheeple 4 I completely agree with Ron. The Constitution is one of the greatest pieces of legislature ever written, but I do believe that the founding fathers never imagined a world like today. I bet they are looking down on us and conversating about how they can't believe we haven't "amended" the 2nd amendment! The "arms" of 1791 were nothing like the "arms" of 2012! I'm sure those great men did not want a civilian to be able to have access to the same weaponry our military uses!

Anti-Gun Support I'm not picking on you Thomas, but since you have been one of the strongest defenders of the 2nd here, I'd like to bring the discussion full circle. Would you feel comfortable making these arguments for "semi" automatic weaponry to the families who just lost children ( not much older than your own) to senseless acts of gun violence?

2nd amendment supporter Yes. Unfortunately I would. Would I like it? No. But the fact is if you legislate the law abiding public out of the right to defend themselves all you accomplish is inviting more crime. By the same logic we should outlaw motor vehicles and switch back to horse and buggies. Look how many people are killed by motorcycles and cars. If we all had horse and buggies we could not go any faster than 20 mph. We would all be so much safer. It's not the car or the motor cycle. It's the operator. Someone who either has no business driving at that time ( drunk, high, mentally ill, etc) or a general accident. You even have people who run someone over on purpose. Do they blame the car? No they blame the person. If those 20 kids were in a field playing soccer and the same maniac drove through a fence and ran them all over no one would call for the banning of cars. It's politicians exploiting the unfortunate circumstances to forward an agenda based on fear mongering and false assumptions. I have spent most of my life in gun free zones. NYC and Chicago banning firearms only makes the problem worse. Sick people will find a way to cause harm. It is simply a question of what the medium will be. I am fine with making the back ground check process more restrictive and requiring permits and training. I am totally against Chicago or NYC style gun laws because they only effect the people you do not need to worry about. The mother of this young man knew he was sick and did not take the proper steps to secure her firearms. I completely agree with that. If YOU get caught driving drunk no one is going to take MY drivers license away.

Anti-Gun Support While I disagree with 90% of what you said, I admire the fact you had the balls to answer that. It's silly to me to compare guns to cars, or drugs, or rocks, for the simple fact that guns were created for one purpose, plain and simple. To kill. No 2 ways around that. Cars were not. Drugs were not. Alcohol was not. I enjoyed the discussion, thank you all, but I must stop here. (PS, I know someone who is getting a lump of coal in their stocking this year.) Merry Christmas and God bless our gun-nut filled violent country.

2nd amendment supporter Unfortunately we live in a reality where it is necessary to defend ourselves against harm with deadly force sometimes. That is a fact of life. If someone breaks into your home with the intent to cause serious bodily harm or death there is a real need to meet that threat with equal or superior force. I do agree that we should not have automatic weapons in our homes. however rifles and handguns are not military grade automatic weapons. I hope you are never put in a situation where you literally have to fight for your life. Contrary to what some have said bad guys are armed and dangerous. To work under the assumption that someone who has the mental disposition to break into your home would not bring protection with them is naive and incorrect. If you disarm the law abiding public you have done nothing but decrease that groups chance for survival in the afore mentioned situations. Criminals do not follow the laws even if they pertain to guns. You cannot legislate this problem away. I too have enjoyed this conversation. Ps. You asked if my gun has ever saved my life. My answer is no however I carry every day. If I am ever put in the situation where I am in threat of death or serious bodily injury. I have an option. What would you do?

2nd amendment supporter I agree. I do want to point out one thing before we close this conversation. Australia already followed your example above. Basically allowing people to only keep simple firearms for hunting purposes. Essentially one step above what would be found when the second amendment was written as you suggested. No semi auto guns. Bolt action rifles and single shot guns only. The hard numbers are simple to understand. Armed robbery increased 69%, assault with a gun increased 28%, murder increased 19% and home invasion went up 21%. This is not fear mongering. This is record keeping. So I have a question for you. In your original post you asked if we could address the families of the 20 children who were killed last Friday. Could you honestly tell the families of the people included in the numbers above that they are safer following the plan you suggested above?
Other countries that have outright banned complex firearms have followed the same trend. As much as I respect your opinion, you have to comprehend that every nation that has gone down this road has seen a complete shift in liberty imposed by their government.
The second amendment aside by removing my right to properly defend myself and my family, they are potentially removing my right to life. That is what it is about to me. I have a responsibility to defend myself and my family, I just hope I continue to have the right to do so.

Anti-Gun Support So, you're trying to blame the removal of automatic weapons on increased gun assualts... I see the numbers have gone up, that is obvious. But how do you explain the correlation? How does taking a gun from 1 person make another person use one? It doesn't make sense, any way you slice it. The increase is there, but look at crime stats ANYWHERE in the world, and more often than not, they are increasing.

2nd amendment supporter Seriously? You cannot correlate the concept that simple risk analysis from the point of view of someone looking to exploit you. one way or another the decision to commit a crime is significantly affected by the chance of self preservation in the event.
Lets put this into perspective. You are broke. You have the moral disposition of your average criminal. You see house number 1 with the lights on. People are inside moving around. House number 2 is dark. There is 2 weeks worth of mail in the mailbox. Which house do you rob? The same argument can be applied to the chance of being confronted with significant risk of injury. If you have less chance of a target being armed you are more likely to present a disparity of force by using a knife or a gun to rob someone. This is simple. The bad people out there have a better chance of getting away with the crime therefore they are more likely to commit said crime.
A man makes his living the easiest way he knows how.

Anti-Gun Support I'd say that's a bit of a stretch. I understand what you're saying, I just think you're over-simplifiying the data. You're making the assumption that said criminal knows ahead of time that a family is unarmed. I just don't think that's the case most of the time. As you said, not all firearms are banned. There's just as much of a chance that they ARE armed as there was before, just not with the same style of weapon.
Look, I have never stated ALL guns should be banned. That's obviously not going to happen or work. I just think there needs to be a line drawn somewhere, or it's going to get WAY out of control.
What I mean by over-simplifying is, you have to take other factors into consideration when looking at those increased numbers. Political, social, economic.... all these things can also lead to increases in numbers of crimes.

2nd amendment supporter If you are walking down the street and see a person without a rifle on his shoulder he is unarmed OR he is a criminal. I don't understand where the assumption is on that scenario. They are only allowed bolt action rifles. That means no handguns. Outside of the home they are not allowed to have guns. There is no assumption at all in that instance. None. 0. Nada. Zilch.

How To Makeover Your Online Dating Profile And Get Results Fast!
By Rachel Russo
Believe me, I know how frustrating it is to sign up for an online dating site with high hopes of meeting someone special to find nothing more than an inbox of winks from gold-digging women or men who could be your father, After giving online dating a whirl to complete my social research experiment with an international reality dating blog, in which I went on 92 dates in one year and blogged about them as Ms. New York, I realized how tough this scene really is. However, I also knew it could work! After all, it had worked for a client I got married by ghostwriting his online dating profile and emails. Trust me, through work with clients and my own experiences with online dating, I've seen it all and know what works and what doesn't for both men and women.
Here are some online dating tips that will make a difference:
1. Get better photos: This is first and foremost, because men are the most visual creatures on the planet and women want someone who is easy on the eyes too! Your photos should be classy—not trashy! Ladies, don't reveal too much cleavage, wear too much makeup, or pose in unnatural, seductive photos--like those of the MySpace "kissy face" generation! Men, keep your shirts on and leave out the beer bottles and scantly-clad women next to you.
Make sure they are clear and recent—with the focus on you. A headshot and a body shot are best, and then if you want to add photos of you with friends, fine. Please don't be guilty of false advertising by posting a photo where you were ten pounds lighter and five years younger. Do you really want someone to meet you and discover that he/she is disappointed when it's clear that you look nothing like you did in your outdated photos?
2. Choose the perfect profile length. Ladies, if your profile is too long, men will pass it by. Many don't even like texts that exceed 160 characters. Write anything that resembles a chapter in your first novel and they will be on to the next. The idea is to intrigue them enough to make them want to know more—not share your life story Men, if your profile is too short, you probably come across as boring and generic sounding. Also, you are no help to the woman who is a great catch, but has no clue what to write to you! A couple paragraphs with a little personalized detail goes a long way for both sexes, because when you include open-ended questions and interesting comments, you are giving him or her the perfect bait. Not too long, not to short—but just right.

I LOVE THIS CONCEALER. I've used basically every concealer under the sun, but none have risen up to the challenge of keeping my chronic dark under-eye circles at bay besides this one. And it managed to stay on for an entire work day-which is a massive feat for my combo skin. The only problem I have is that if I don't moisturize like whoa before putting this on, I get those weird chicken bumps under my eyes. Overall, definitely my HG!
This definitely did not last 16 hours, but overall it's not a bad concealer. It blends easily and covers well, but the color range is limited. I got the medium-dark color which is too light for my NC42 complexion.
I'm on my third tube of this great medium coverage concealer. It's not cakey thick or heavy, and has blended well with every foundation I've used. I use it under my eyes to even out some dark areas (especially in the corners), and over my face and neck to spot cover acne blemishes and redness. Light blends perfectly with my skin tone, even in bright sunlight. I just dab it on until all my redness and dark areas are covered, and then lightly blend out with my fingertips (or a concealer brush, but I've found my fingertips do a better job of it). I've taken one lippie off because it doesn't last all day, and requires an afternoon touchup. The package says "16-hour" but it's more like "6-hour." Still, a very good concealer.

I bought L'Oreal Infallible Concealer after reading great reviews about it and was extremely disappointed. First of all, it was a bit pricey for me considering the fact that it's a drugstore product and the tube is absolutely tiny. The color matched well with my skin, but I had trouble with the consistency of the product. It was so difficult to blend that I hardly achieved any coverage. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and the search for a great concealer continues.
This concealer has nice packaging and comes in many different shades. However, none of their shades seem to match my super pale skin. Still, I've bought this concealer twice since I haven't been able to find my perfect concealer yet. This turns my skin orange and it really doesn't cover anything. I would probably be better off not using anything, but it's become a habit that I can't stop. It's decent at covering redness, but for covering undereye circles and zits it kind of sucks. The bright side is that so far it hasn't made me break out, and I've been using it for around 6 months. It might work better for people with darker skin, however. But if you're pale like me you might want to watch out.
I am used to using more high-end concealers such as Laura Mercier, Becca etc. I thought I'd try this because I needed a concealer in a hurry and this is easy to find. I don't use it under the eyes and haven't tried it there (I have dark circles and use Bobbi Brown Corrector for that) but this is really nice on any 'imperfections' such as redness around nose, spots etc. I like that you don't really need a concealer brush to apply it too so it's easy to take out in the handbag. It's a bit dry but IMO just as good as the high-end ones I've used. I use the palest shade.

I really like this concealer. It does a good job of covering flaws. I tried some MAC concealer a few months ago, and this is just as good.
The problem is there is it's really expensive for the tiny amount of product you get. If I wore makeup every day, this would probably be all gone already. I got it a month ago. Less than an inch of concealer is left. It's around $10, and tax where I live is 10 cents on the dollar, so I have to pay $11 for .06 ounces of concealer.
It's the tiny amount and the price that would keep me from buying this again. I don't think I'll buy it again unless I can't find another good concealer for cheaper.
I couldn't get this concealer to work for under my eyes. I already have an HG concealer for the rest of my face. I have oily, acne prone skin, so I can't use my HG concealer for under my eyes, as it would be too harsh. So I bought this, hoping it would cover lines. I'm 37 and still look young, except some lines under my eyes (and gray hairs, luckily covered with hair dye!!). This concealer just kind of sat on top of my lines. It seemed to draw attention to them. After giving it a few months, trying it off and on, I threw it away last week. Disappointing.

I love this! It covers under the eye amazingly and doesnt give me that white cakey look. When ever my girlfriends and I go out, we all used this one stick, its crazy how it matches all of our very different skin tones. I will be buying this concealer again!
I didn't used this as an undereye concealer, so I can't comment on its effectiveness in that area. However, this concealer is useless at covering acne blemishes. It covers and is completely gone in an hour or less. NO lasting power whatsoever. Definitely a disappointment.

What if Princess Diana were still alive?
(Read article summary)Novelist Monica Ali – and others – indulge in speculation over alternate endings to the story of the Princess of Wales.
What if?
It's a question we're not supposed to ask ourselves (quash useless regrets before they grow, says mother). But it's also a question that makes for an irresistible novel.
As in, what if Princess Diana hadn't died in that tragic car accident in Paris?
That's the premise of Monica Ali's new novel, "Untold Story," and it's already raising eyebrows.
In it, Diana fakes her own death in the famous car crash, later jumps off her boyfriend's yacht, swims to a Brazilian beach, has a bit of plastic surgery, then finds her way to a little American town called Kensington (that's right) and settles into a quiet, ordinary, suburban life as a tall, slim brunette named Lydia.
Tantalizing, sure, but here's another what if. What if Diana were alive? What would she have thought of this? Does it make you just a wee bit squeamish?
Ms. Ali, high-brow Brit author of Booker-nominated "Brick Lane," is facing heat on this, her most daring novel. It's been called low-brow, exploitative, in poor taste.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Pucallpa, Ucayali) as well as Colombia. Peru's and I assume Brazil and
Colombia's Air Force do fly recon missions along these common borders to
monitor coca crops and drug trafficking. That said, not to surprising to
see coca crops growing close to the Brazilian border or just in it.
Today I also found an OS article about 2 coca labs destroyed in Padre
Abad, Ucayali. While I'm sure this was not the first-ever lab in Ucayali,
I normally read about labs being destroyed in VRAE and Monzon. Any idea
how long cocaine labs on the Colombian side have been operating?
As for the Mexicans, it would be interesting to see what they mean by
presence. Last we heard from Peru, in Peru the presence of Mexican
cartels are limited to buying cocaine supplies and not at a point of
establishing turf or engaging in supply or turf competition. They are more
like second-tier cartel leaders that act as the middle man between the
buying cartel in Mexico and the Peruvian vendors (usually one dude
'acopiador' that collects coca or cocaine from various producers). I would
assume that the presence in Brazil is similar (ie, they are not fully
installed) but it would be nice to have more concrete info on this point.
Lastly, it's good to note that this fits in with Brazil's 13 some
agreements it's working to sign with neighbors to improve border security.

Subject: [CT] [OS] BRAZIL- Brazilian Army sees risk that Brazil becomes a
cocaine producer
Two interesting things in this story. A Brazilian general points out that
Brazil can soon become a producer of cocaine (instead of being only an
international distribution route of the drug). A laboratory for refining
cocaine was found in the Amazon rainforest. Second, the same general said
the presence of Mexican cartels have also been detected in the region.
Google translation
Army sees risk that Brazil turned producer of cocaine
General Eduardo Dias da Costa Villas Boas, military commander of the
Amazon, made a revelation to a group of senators.
He said that Brazil live with the risk of leaving the condition of
international cocaine route to become a producer of the drug.
The picture from above shows a cocaine refining laboratory jammed in the
Amazon jungle.
According to the general, the police in Brazil and Peru found something
worse: a large area of a**a**coca cultivation in the border between the
two countries.
The planting was done in an Indian reservation Ticuna. For now, is over
there, in low, wet areas of the Peruvian Amazon.
However, the general said the senators Villas Boas, there is the risk of
drug cultivation across the border, settling in Brazil.
In this case, Brazil would not bear a position that displays today, the
mere passage corridor for cocaine produced in neighboring countries.
If Brazil is turning producer, the general warned, combating trafficking
will become even more complex.
Especially since the Army already sniffed the shuttle in the Amazon of a
cartel of drug traffickers in the new area: the Mexican.
"If the coca is grown in Brazil, the degree of complexity will be much
greater," said the commander of the Amazon.
"We have evidence of the presence in the region of Mexican cartels, which
have a more violent modus operandi. We must be very careful. "
General Villas Boas spoke at a public hearing of the Committee on Foreign
Relations and National Defense of the Senate.
It was convened by the chairman, Fernando Collor (PTB-LA), in order to
discuss border surveillance in the Brazilian Amazon and the South.
Senators also heard, among others, Ricardo Rodriguez Velez, coordinator
Center for Strategic Research of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora.
The professor said that the presence of Colombian FARC guerrillas on the
border continues to pose risks to the security of Brazil.
Why? In addition to involvement with drug trafficking, guerrilla group
trafficked weapons. He mentioned two other problems which demand solution.
The first is the increase in cocaine production in Bolivia Evo Morales
The second is the consolidation of the teacher called the "largest
smuggling center of South America"
Original in Portuguese
ExA(c)rcito vA-a risco de o Brasil virar produtor de cocaAna
O general Eduardo Dias da Costa Villas BA'as, comandante militar da
AmazA'nia, fez uma revelaAS:A-L-o a um grupo de senadores.
Contou que o Brasil convive com o risco de deixar a condiAS:A-L-o de rota
internacional de cocaAna para virar um produtor da droga.
A foto lA! do alto mostra um laboratA^3rio de refino de cocaAna encravado
na selva amazA'nica.
Segundo o general, as policiais do Brasil e do Peru detectaram coisa pior:
uma grande A!rea de produAS:A-L-o de coca na fronteira entre os dois
A plantaAS:A-L-o foi feita numa reserva dos Andios ticunas. Por ora,
encontra-se do lado de lA!, em A!reas baixas e A-omidas da AmazA'nia
PorA(c)m, disse o general Villas BA'as aos senadores, hA! o risco de o
cultivo da droga cruzar a fronteira, estabelecendo-se em territA^3rio
Nessa hipA^3tese, o Brasil deixaria de ostentar a posiAS:A-L-o que exibe
hoje, de mero corredor de passagem da cocaAna produzida em paAses
Se o Brasil virar produtor, alertou o general, o combate ao trA!fico se
tornarA! ainda mais complexo.
Sobretudo porque o ExA(c)rcito jA! farejou na AmazA'nia o vaivA(c)m de
traficantes de um cartel novo na A!rea: o mexicano.
a**Se a coca for plantada no Brasil, o grau de complexidade serA! muito
maiora**, declarou o comandante da AmazA'nia.
a**Temos indAcios da presenAS:a na regiA-L-o de cartA(c)is mexicanos, que
tA-am um modus operandi mais violento. Temos de estar muito atentos.a**
O general Villas BA'as falou numa audiA-ancia pA-oblica da ComissA-L-o de
RelaAS:Aues Exteriores e Defesa Nacional do Senado.
Foi convocada pelo presidente da comissA-L-o, Fernando Collor (PTB-LA),
com o objetivo de discutir a vigilA-c-ncia das fronteiras brasileiras na
AmazA'nia e no Sul do paAs.
Os senadores ouviram tambA(c)m, entre outros, Ricardo VA(c)lez Rodrigues,
coordenador de Centro de Pesquisas EstratA(c)gicas da Universidade Federal
de Juiz de Fora.
O professor disse que a presenAS:a de guerrilheiros colombianos das Farc
na fronteira continua a oferecer riscos A seguranAS:a do Brasil.
Por quA-a? AlA(c)m do envolvimento com o trA!fico de drogas, o grupo
guerrilheiro trafica armas. Mencionou outros dois problemas que reclamam
O primeiro A(c) o incremento da produAS:A-L-o de cocaAna na BolAvia do
companheiro Evo Morales.
O segundo A(c) a consolidaAS:A-L-o do que o professor chamou de "maior

At the end of October I went on a truly awesome nine-day adventure tour to Copper Canyon in Mexico.
Here is the original thread I posted on the trip.
I finally got done with the video for the trip. Words and video just simply can not adequetely convey what an incredible life experience traveling through Copper Canyon can be, so keep in mind that it is cooler, steeper, funner, and a whole bunch more "er"s than it looks on the video. I could have easily made this two videos but decided I liked it better as one big yonking video.
The video 16 minutes long and will set your harddrive back 115MB.

More training for Thai students from Gripen Consortium
A further 14 Thai students will now be trained in conjunction with the delivery of the JAS Gripen, a new generation, multi-role fighter aircraft . FMV would like to buy the programs, including from LiU. FMV is the Swedish Defence Material Administration and is an independent, civil authority.
When the Gripen Consortium, FMV and Saab , negotiated the deal with the Thai government for the sale of the Gripen, they also included an agreement on the transfer of knowledge. The first planes arrived in Thailand just before Christmas 2010 and the investment on training is continuing.
A total of 70 students will be trained up until 2013 in order to integrate the aircraft into Thailand's defence forces. FMV have therefore requested that the government grant a new exemption from the normal regulations applicable to universities and colleges. This would make it possible for Thailand to place orders for the training programmes.
The 14 students involved in this round will be studying in Lund, Stockholm, Umeå and Linköping. According to FMV, the training programmes at LiU's Institute of Technology (LiTH) relate to the training of robust systems and "tactical data links". There are already at least six Thai flight engineers at LiU studying a Master's Degree in Communication Systems and Advanced Computer Graphics.

A Defense of Intellectual Property Rights (Google eBook)The book is well provided with detailed references/bibliography for those who want to pursue the matter. . . The authors have effected a very thorough analysis of the moral issues and the book is strongly recommended for that reason. . . Brian Spear, World Patent Information This book should change the contours of the intellectual property debate. Spinello and Bottis fully appreciate what the standard instrumentalist accounts of intellectual property cannot even acknowledge that the lives and liberty of creators and artists are not the common property of society, and that it is intrinsically wrong to treat the efforts and projects of individuals as if they were unowned resources reaped as the fruit of the earth. Their work should help to reorient discussion of IP from an excessive concern with the economic and social consequences of competing policies back to the bedrock issues of basic respect for the integrity of our various particular lives and the labor that constitutes those lives. At the same time, they studiously avoid the unserious extremism that characterizes so much of the debate on every side, recognizing that respecting the lives and liberty of all sets real boundaries on the proper scope and stringency of IP claims, ruling out overzealous enforcement and radical repudiation alike. Richard Volkman, Southern Connecticut State University and Research Center on Computing and Society, US Since the rise of the Internet the question of intellectual property has been and still is one of the most controversial societal and ethical issues. The new global, interactive and bottom-up medium challenges moral, legal and economic structures not only in the music and film industry but also in the field of knowledge production, storage, distribution and access. The academic debate soon became and is still polarized between critics and defenders of IPR. The book by Richard A. Spinello and Maria Bottis A Defense of Intellectual Property Rights analyses in a critical and comprehensive manner some of the dogmas widely spread by the critics of IPR paying special attention to the differences between EU and European legal regimes. The authors explore the foundations of IP in Lockean philosophy, as a representative of a natural law approach, as well as in the theories of Fichte and Hegel based on deontological arguments. Both perspectives prevail in European law while American property law is widely based on utilitarian arguments. The authors argue in favor of Lockean and Hegelian foundations showing their relevance in the present debate as well as calling the attention to the link between these theories and the Catholic social doctrine. The book is an important contribution to this ongoing debate. Rafael Capurro, Stuttgart Media University, Germany Richard A. Spinello and Maria Bottis defend the thesis that intellectual property rights are justified on non-economic grounds. The rationale for this moral justification is primarily inspired by the theory of John Locke. In the process of defending Locke, the authors confront the deconstructionist critique of intellectual property rights and remove the major barriers interfering with a proper understanding of authorial entitlement. The book also familiarizes the reader with the rich historical and legal tradition behind intellectual property protection. |

Velouria's Note:
This is Lidia Bastianich's delicious recipe for Beef Goulash in the style of Trieste, a city in Northern Italy that had previously been part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. This recipe is great because it's simple yet has loads of flavor. She suggests serving it Middle European style with boiled or mashed potatoes, Italian style with polenta or fettuccine or simply with steamed rice.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 -3 large onions, peeled and cut in thick wedges (1 1/2 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt (to taste) or 2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste)
- 2 1/2 lbs trimmed boneless beef chuck or 2 1/2 lbs beef round steak, cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks for stewing
- 2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika, sweet or hot to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- fresh rosemary (1 branch with lots of needles)
- 3 cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1Pour the olive oil into a small saucepan (about 6 cup capacity), set over medium-low heat, and drop in the onion wedges. Toss to coat in oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook gently for 3-4 minutes until sizzling and softening.
- 2Spread onions in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed 9 or 10-inch saucepan (such as an enameled cast-iron French oven with a tight-fitting cover) and drop the beef cubes on top of the onions, filling the pan in one layer. Sprinkle another 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, all the paprika, and the oregano over the meat and drop in the rosemary. Without stirring or turning the meat chunks, cover the pan tightly. Heat the meat, with the seasonings on top and the onions below, so it starts to release its juices and stew. Check once or twice to see that the pan liquid is bubbling and the onions are melting (not burning) but don't stir.
- 3After 30 minutes or so, set the cover ajar a couple of inches and adjust the heat to keep the juices bubbling and slowly reducing. As they thicken, stir up the onions so they don't burn and tumble the meat in the pan.
- 4Continue cooking, partially covered, for another 1/2 hour or so. When the juices are concentrated and thick in the pan bottom, prepare the goulash sauce:.
- 5Pour 3 cups cold water in the small pan and whisk in the flour. Set over low heat and continue whisking until the flour is dispersed with no lumps, then whisk in the tomato paste. Heat gradually, whisking often, until the tomato-flour water just comes to a bubbling boil. Pour into the big saucepan and stir well, turning the meat chunks over--they should be nearly covered in sauce.
- 6Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, put on the cover slightly ajar, and cook 45 minutes to an hour, until the meat is quite tender and the sauce is somewhat reduced. Season with more salt to taste. Turn off the heat and let the goulash cool in the pan for several hours before serving or refrigerate overnight.
- 7Reheat slowly, stirring now and then, until the meat is thoroughly heated. Thin the sauce with water if it has thickened too much. Serve hot. (Though not part of the original recipe, I like to garnish mine with a dollop of sour cream.).

We have a two story house with bare hardwood stair treads. Over the years we have seen two slips and falls on these stairs, no serious injury. Both times the person was walking without holding the handrail and was wearing socks, not shoes. I think bare feet have better traction than most socks.
I am thinking about putting carpet stair treads on each tread. I believe these can be held in place with double sided tape. I also see on the web that at Lowes, HD. and Walmart these treads run about $15 each. I am a bit surprised they cost that much and wonder if I am even looking at the right item. Suggesting please. |

Carpet treads w/ double sided tape doesn't sound too safe, imho. You are relying on the tape that eventually could fail as it ages and could make for a bad fall. You might consider going to or getting a consult from a floor outfit about installing a runner. It is something best done by pros not only for cosmetic reasons, but it needs to be done right in order to be safe. |
I've priced them, too, and I'm shocked at how expensive they are, and they tend to have a country look. I think you would be better off having a local carpet company come in and carpet the stairway. A cheap way to do it that I am considering: Walmart has small, rubber-backed kitchen carpets on sale for $4 in the housewares area. I'm thinking of buying 16 and cutting them with a carpet knife and then placing the cut edge so that it butts to the riser. |
Thanks, I put some indoor/outdoor carpet strips on the four steps up to our outside deck a year ago. There I took a small carpet strip (I don't know what there are intended for) I purchased from Home Depot, cut them in half and got from that two pieces nice for a stair tread, the cut edge was put against the riser and the other side was finished and has rounded corners. As this is "just" the deck, I used a staple gun to attach them. In this case the treads were installed to help an older dog we have who suffered a stroke and has limited strength in his rear legs, and needs the traction to make the climb. This was not expensive, then too there are only 4 steps. I slipped on the same steps that are the subject of this post a number of years ago. I was heading down stairs in stocking feet. I have since never gone down the stairs unless I am wearing shoes or slippers with traction. It was a slip by my wife that prompted my post. She was wearing socks, not shoes. |

'Dark Knight Rises' Teaser Trailer Asks If Batman Even Exists Anymore
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 18, 2011 | (4) CommentsBootlegs suck. If I wanted to watch a grainy movie trailer from someone who can't keep his camera still, I'd just find a Paul Greengrass film.
Here as an alternative, officially, is the Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer straight from the horse's mouth over at the Facebook page. Fortunately, The Film Stage has embedded it properly, so we can deliver it straight to you, dear reader.
There isn't much to say, and you've probably skipped all this anyway.
How do you spell 'anticipation?'
There's sort of a Hannibal Lecter by way of the S&M club thing going on with Tom Hardy as Bane there. The voice over from Christian Bale there offers what seems to be the key question of the film: does Batman really exist anymore? Christopher Nolan will try to answer it (and he'll most likely give the audience a shot at figuring it out) when the film comes out way too many months from now.
What do you think?

Republicans rework National Convention schedule to avoid worst of Tropical Storm Isaac
POSTED: Monday, August 27, 2012 - 7:00am
UPDATED: Monday, August 27, 2012 - 9:07am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Rain and wind picked up around Tampa overnight, bringing the threat of flooding even as Tropical Storm Isaac moves away from the coast.
Republicans are hoping the weather won't completely steal the show as Mitt Romney tries to make his case that he can do a better job than President Obama.
Insiders admit to win this election Romney's got to improve his "likeablity" - that's one of the reasons why they're here.
This afternoon they'll officially open the convention, then recess five minutes later and come back Tuesday.
By then, they hope the focus will be on Romney, not Isaac.

The low down on these......
I live and ride in Park City Utah. Spend a good amount of time on the mountain 5 days a week, sometimes more. I hate wearing lots of layers so i always go for insulated everything. I like a baggier fit so i can move around and be comfortable. Needless to say i was extremely happy when i found these, all the 686 stuff i have bought in the past has been very well made and fit true to the size chart (or maybe a little bigger). I am 5'8, 175, and a size 10. I am very muscular so i usually buy guys pants/jackets/boots/boards/bindings but was really happy when i got these and tried them on! i wear a size 10 in levi's jeans (a little on the looser side). I got these in the black (nicely textured and a true matte black and a great had to the fabric) in the XL and they can NOT be worn without a belt they are so big. This past weekend i went to put them on and realized the crotch had ripped! I have put about 20 days on them (all this year) and was really hoping they would hold up better! also the elastic on the gaiter cuff has ripped on one of the legs. Basically these are great pants if you are a christmas/spring break rider but NOT if you are a 100+ day rider like the description states :( still a well fitting, good looking, and functioning product just not made for serious abuse. back to man pants for me!

Oh my dear God…here we go again, with another direct-to-video schlockfest courtesy of those money-hungry psychos at Dej Entertainment.
And this time, Dej has prepared a truly, truly awful thing for its audiences. Suspend your disbelief? Oh, nay, Gentle Reader…you're going to have to EXPEL it. You're going to have to send it to prison and lock it away for all eternity to wrap your head around this.
A twenty foot tall, genetically engineered komodo dragon is on the loose, for some reason, and it doesn't like humanity.
Why? WHY? Why are we still being subjected to garbage like this? It's utter CRAP! This is a Z-grade Jurassic Park ripoff on a budget that consisted of whatever the producer found in the couch that day!
The plot isn't much better. Of course, we start out with our giant komodo dragon having a brief con-fab with an electric fence, followed with a naval inquiry on board a battleship, and then segue into a casino robbery on what is only POSSIBLY the same island. Man, what movie did I rent? One second, it's Jurassic Park, then it's A Few Good Men–The Naval Years, and now it's Reindeer Games for the next few minutes! Aaaugh!
And then, bizarrely, it actually starts to jell together into a semi-lucid plot. The casino thieves lose control of their helicopter, and land on Big Komodo Island. The folks currently dealing with the komodo and the casino thieves band together to take on the giant nasty beastie, with predictable results.
Curse of the Komodo attempts to distract the reader from the sludgy plot with the addition of Glori-Anne Gilbert's character, Rebecca. Blessed with ample assets, and not in the acting column, Becky's sure to distract somebody for a little while.
But this distraction is brief, and soon, we're right back to the giant, apparently toxic, komodo dragon eating and attempting to eat people. Becky once again attempts to distract the viewership from the sadly ineffective komodo special effect, reacting to its entrance with a mild "aaa."
The Jurassic Park ripoffs continue as a Jeep speeds down a tree-lined road, with the komodo special effect in pursuit, and the Robocop Syndrome active on every gun in the Jeep.
Robocop Syndrome, by the way, is the generic term I invented following Robocop 2. It refers to the horror / action / science fiction practice of no one ever needing to be shown reloading any weapon, no matter how many rounds are fired from that weapon. If you ever see a bottomless magazine, think of Robocop 2.
But anyway, our party of casino thieves and apparently government scientists are about to make a stand until a rescue party can show up at sunrise the next day. The party kills time with introspective discussion and character development for characters that will either be dead or unheard of for us within the next hour. Talk about unnecessary….
A truly fun moment comes when a couple scientists are at a computer station. One of them ejects a floppy disk and says, "There you go. All available data on the project." On a 1.44 meg floppy disk.
Either they've got truly killer compression utilities or this isn't much of a project.
This movie would be a lot better if so much of it weren't spent in the exact same sequence. Let's face it–an inordinately large amount of time is spent shooting ineffectually at the komodo special effect.
And my oh my…the ending is positively anticlimactic. You're going to be positively AMAZED by this ending should you decide to see it.
The extra features are abysmal. Curse of the Komodo offers you a trailer for Curse of the Komodo and your choice of English or Spanish dialogue. Not a subtitle or deleted scene anywhere on the disk. Shameful.
So, all in all, Curse of the Komodo lives up to its name, as the only curse involved in it happens to be placed directly on the audience who sat through this waste of plastic and three dollars.

At the moment, eating gluten-free is trendy, though I suspect most non-Olympic contenders who are symptom-free don't stick with it very long, because it is hard. (I pouted and cheated for a year after my diagnosis of celiac.) But by focusing on a gluten-free life, one can achieve a simplicity Thoreau would have envied.
First, eating gluten-free (GF) cuts down on options, and we've come to realize that making decisions among many choices creates stress, which is bad for one's health. Who needs it? GF carbs are limited to corn, rice, quinoa, and potatoes. True, there are also some less familiar GF grains such as teff and aramanth. Add beans to rice if you can, and create a complete protein; I don't, because of their texture. Quinoa, which can be used in most dishes that call for rice, is the only grain that is a complete protein. Feel free to be creative and exotic. Eat like an Inca.
The second, corollary principle of simplicity is the amount of time saved when shopping. One shops only the perimeter of the store, because anything stocked on the inside aisles is probably laced with gluten. I was surprised to discover gluten even in canned soup—wheat flour is, of course, a thickener. One grocery store near me has part of an aisle labeled "healthy eating," and that about sums it up, because most of what we buy isn't healthy. Pretzels, pancake mixes, boxes of muffins or cakes to bake, croissants, bagels, focaccio, any bread, pastry, cookies, crackers—all eliminated from your list. (Potato chips don't have gluten, but with the oil and salt, they're not really healthy. I do eat them, though. Ditto popcorn.)
A third advantage: no more fast food! Thus, your food will taste better and your diet will improve. In fact, there will be almost no restaurant meals, at least until you figure out how to order without getting gluten, including being sure that the kitchen doesn't use utensils or work spaces that could cross-contaminate. Are your fries cooked in the same oil as battered fish or chicken? Not a good idea. Neither is using a bread knife that's gone through a nice loaf of sourdough to cut something for your plate. Or a salad with croutons that have touched the lettuce. Gone are the days of driving through and getting a burger to eat on the run.
Simplicity can be gained and time is saved in meal planning and cooking as well. If I cook a cup of rice and one of quinoa, I have the week almost covered. I've fallen into the habit of same meal for breakfast and lunch, sometimes for supper. Breakfast is quinoa, with a lazy woman's omelet of an egg, a slice of cheese, and some sautéed veggies. Lunch is rice and more veggies. Supper is often a salad, perhaps with some salmon. And before you roll your eyes at how boring my gustatory life is, consider that most of us in the U.S. eat non-nutritious meals on the run or skip them altogether. And while we may have lots of choices, we tend to order the same menu items once we find something we like. At least, my friends do; maybe yours are more adventurous.
We in the West eat differently than people in most cultures do. The vast majority of people—those living in Asia, Africa, or South America—if they're lucky enough to get three meals a day, enjoy the same thing at each meal. Rice, rice, and rice, or manioc, manioc, manioc. Meat is reserved for special occasions. Variety is overrated.
Simplicity also extends to eliminating fears about one's health. The big scary of celiac, for me at least, isn't the digestive issue, but the fear of colon cancer. Constant damage to the intestines from eating gluten makes the body more susceptible to this cancer; I am already more in danger, because there's a link between ovarian and colon cancers. As long as I avoid gluten, I don't have to worry that I'm somehow causing another cancer to take root in my body.
Let me admit that this way of life is NOT simple for anyone in a family, with kids and picky eaters at home. That extends to spouses and significant others, who may love you dearly but hanker for and be able to eat gluten. I have in many respects the ideal situation—I live alone and am older. Even before I was diagnosed, I used to say I had a middle-aged, middle-class, Midwestern woman's stomach. I'm in favor of flavor, but I've never liked spicy food. So perhaps the adjustment wasn't as much of a sacrifice for me as it would be for some people. A plate of rice with some veggies and a drizzle of ranch dressing makes me perfectly happy. If I want to go wild and crazy, I change up the vegetables, or use fruits. If you really like extravagant cooking, there are tons of Web sites to investigate and more GF cookbooks and products coming out all the time.
Eating gluten-free will simplify your life and quite possibly improve your health. However, there are some things it can't do. It is not a weight-loss program—the packaged goodies contain plenty of fat and sugar. Even if you want to learn to do your own baking, you're still going to use flour, eggs, fat, and sugar if you want anything edible.
A gluten-free life also won't solve your cash flow issues. The packaged goodies from health food stores (and increasingly available from the large chain groceries) and the flours, all cost more. Wheat and soy are subsidized, cheap crops. Aramanth or teff—not so much. And most likely, when and if you do begin baking, you are going to make some truly inedible stuff, because that's how one learns to work with GF flours. In doing so, you will waste the strange, pricey flour. It can't be helped. Some ways to save money on food include cutting back on meat consumption, adding more grains and beans, shopping sales, buying grocery store brands, and using coupons. But GF eating will not improve your bank balance.
So, don't expect miracles in weight loss or financial gains from cutting out gluten. Your trips to the grocery will speed right along, however, and your eating life will become less complicated. You, too, can eat as simply and mindfully as the Dalai Lama.
I always thought that you guys eat better and healthier than us
Rice isnt that good really and the health conscious cut down on rice and try and eat more wheat
Rice isnt that good really and the health conscious cut down on rice and try and eat more wheat

You thought your relationship with your partner was perfect. Happily ever after wasn't just a dream, it was your reality. Then, suddenly, you learn your man has been cheating on you. You wonder: Is there any way our relationship can be salvaged? In this video, counselor, relationship coach and YourTango Expert Dr. Tammy Nelson answers the question: Can a relationship really survive an affair?
Should I Tell My Friend's Husband About Her Infidelity?
What's worse than getting caught up in your own personal drama? Getting caught up in somebody else's personal drama.
Should I Have Told My Ex I Cheated On Him?
The easiest way to relive guilt associated with infidelity is to tell the person you betrayed that you cheated. However, according to a poll of over 100 YourTango Experts, when someone in a relationship has been unfaithful, it isn't always best for him/her to tell his/her partner. So, what's a person supposed to do to feel better about her unfaithful past? And is she destined to repeat her mistakes — or worse — in the future?
Is Infidelity As Rampant As The Media Makes It Seem?
We hear about it almost every day. Some Hollywood celebrity or Washington politician has cheated on his poor, unsuspecting wife. Sometimes as many as 14 accusers come forward alleging affairs, as was the case with golf great Tiger Woods. But is infidelity really as rampant as the media makes it seem, or is it just a ploy to sell tabloid magazines?

If the ability communicate complex ideas in an easily understood way is a valuable skill to the strategic thinker, then first principles offer one possible point of departure from which to begin any discussion on strategy. A few months ago, we posed a question on various strategy-related email chains and Facebook pages asking interested parties what the first principles of military strategy were. We got numerous responses; some humorous, some vitriolic, but all very interesting.
Development of a first principle is akin to boiling down information to uncover the elemental truth that lies within. We culled through the responses and necked down the subject to consider only 'American' military strategy to add further clarity and context. Then we tried to synthesize, combine, and distill each one down to the core of its essence. Our final list includes eight, but there are undoubtedly many, many more. We offer the outline of the first principles below for your consideration: [Read more...]

Nice. Easy and tasty. I added an eighth of cayenne pepper to the dry rub and briskly rubbed the steak after cooking with a piece of garlic to add more zest. Also, patting it lightly with canola oil is a good way to brown the outside, then finish it on an indirect grill to cook slowly and preserve the succulence.
I used this rub all the time. On steaks, prime rib, etc. You can add some cayenne if you like it a little spicy - it is a great rub!
This was really good. I used bone in New York steaks that I dry aged in the fridge for five days. Great flavor.
No fork rating because I didn't QUITE follow the recipe: I used 6 small strip steaks (3 1/2 lb.) and grilled over hickory charcoal, without the smoking step. There was just enough spice mixture to coat my 6 steaks on both sides. This rub was GOOD. Everyone was "mmm"ing throughout the meal. I couldn't really tell that there was any coffee involved, but the garlic-paprika-pepper-thyme action was great. I'll be making this again!
This is the second time I have made this. First time did it on the grill as written and we were very pleased. This time, seared them in a VERY hot skillet to make a crust and they were to die! We honestly think this is one of the best steaks we have ever eaten. I threw a little kosher salt in the pan before searing and made the crust even more flavorful. Didnt need much else, just a big glass of Syrah and our appetites!
Increddible flavor! I used the rub in this recipe and grilled boneless rib steaks on my gas grill. The flavors are intense, but not over powering. My husband loved it, and said it was probably the best steak he's eaten. I will definitely make this rub again and possibly use it on my holiday prime rib.
I used a rub without the coffee, but had the butcher cut 2 1/2 inch thick bone in rib eyes. I marinated the meat in a little red wine and garlic for a day in the fridge, then applied the rub and kept the meat cool until the Weber was really hot with hickory chunks added. A quick sear on the hot side before moving them to the cool side, tossing in a bunch of rosemary branches, created a great crust with a medium rare interior. Topped them a little butter, olive oil, and lemon. One steak per couple. Rave reviews from talented chefs. Take the meat off earlier than you think - at 125 degrees. With all that heat it continues to cook quite a bit while resting. Doing it again next month for our dinner club. Looking forward to the practice sessions.

First Data's Bisignano Hires JPMorgan Colleague Chiarello
First Data Corp., led by former JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) co-Chief Operating Officer Frank Bisignano, hired the New York-based bank's former Chief Information Officer Guy Chiarello as president.
Chiarello, 53, will receive an annual base salary of $1 million and a bonus of no less than $2.5 million for 2013, Atlanta-based First Data said today in a regulatory filing. He will also be granted a signing bonus of $6.5 million that can be clawed back if he quits or is terminated for cause within two years, according to the filing.
First Data, owned by private-equity firm KKR & Co., recruited Bisignano in April from the biggest U.S. bank by assets. First Data, the largest merchant acquirer in the U.S., helps retailers accept credit- and debit-card payments.
Chiarello was CIO of JPMorgan for about five and a half years and held technology roles at New York-based Morgan Stanley for 23 years, according to the filing. The Wall Street Journal reported in May that Chiarello was leaving JPMorgan.
Technology and security were among Bisignano's responsibilities as co-COO, and he held executive roles within the payments industry earlier in his career. Bisignano, 53, was Citigroup Inc.'s CEO of global transaction services from 2002 to 2005 and executive vice president of consumer lending in the early 1990s for First Fidelity Bancorp.
Matt Zames became JPMorgan's sole COO when Bisignano left the bank.
