Never a dull moment

B of A told Fed it could sell branches in emergency: source

"The fact that the bank proposed selling branches doesn't mean it's a desirable move or highly probable, the person said.

The bank's shares fell nearly 60 percent last year amid concerns about the company's capital position, but are up 19 percent this year."


Let's see...  - 60% +19% = - 41%
That's correct. They are still - 41% in the red.

Simple arithmetic!

Dude, That Isn’t Wax On Your Apple!

"Since the early 12th century, there has been a tradition of applying wax onto the skins of fruits and vegetables for longer storage life. Today, that tradition is being carried on with a whole new generation of chemicals and compounds that are genetically designed to accomplish the same goal. But in these modern times, the health and well-being of the consumer of that apple is not necessarily the goal of this unnatural, inorganic process.

What if I told you that cow, pig, and chicken collagen is now used in place of wax on your fruits and vegetables, among many other  things much worse than you can probably imagine?"


EWWWW!!!

Count Mexico among deadly failed states

"Drug cartel body count approaching that of Vietnam war.

In what has become a war to determine which cartel family will take control, the casualties largely have been former cartel members. The total number of people killed is estimated to be some 47,515. The Vietnam War cost 58,000 lives."

Bill Gates, Monsanto hijack 'humanitarian aid' efforts to push GMO agenda

"(NaturalNews) Those still in denial about the connection between the so-called "humanitarian" efforts of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the bigger agenda to thrust genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) on the populations of the world (among other things), need look no further than the Golden Rice Project (GRP) for proof that things are not as they seem. Hailed as the solution to "micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries," GRP is actually nothing more than an attempted Trojan horse to usher GMOs into countries that have thus far rejected them."

Raw milk vending machines growing in popularity across Europe

...but not in North America. 
Hmmm

UK: Forget global warming - it's Cycle 25 we need to worry about (and if NASA scientists are right the Thames will be freezing over again)

"The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years."

You WILL reveal your past! Facebook's timeline feature becomes mandatory for all users - with just 7 days to 'clean up'

"Once timeline is activated on your profile, you have seven days to 'clean up' - and you will probably want to.

Things from your past that may have been previously hidden deep within your photos or timeline can be much more visible.

If there is anything particularly you don’t want shown, such as your relationship status from five years ago - which will be public by default - you’re best to click on the right hand side to the year it occurred, such as 2006, find the post and choose to either delete or hide it.

It all has to be done manually.

You can now choose directly from the right-hand side of nearly every section on profile who sees what for individual sections (such as photos, posts, likes etc). When you click on the item, you can choose whether it is seen publicly, by friends or by a customised list.

If you enable any timeline apps, be sure to read their privacy policies thoroughly - many will not ask again before posting information to your profile. Spotify, for instance, will default to filling your timeline with what you listen to, unless you tell it not to.

Facebook now has the ‘View profile as’ feature on the main page, rather than in privacy settings. This lets you check how different people can see your profile so you can then customize it as you wish."


A real pain, eh?
