AFRICOM: Keeping Africans Safe from Chaos…or Something
5:12 pm in Uncategorized by wendydavis
Six months ago crossedcrocodiles.org took note of two items that surfaced in the same week in July 2012 which seemed related, although not intentionally so; xcroc added 1 = 1 and got 'Uh-oh'. (Xcroc's 'about me' page is here; he's been tracking AFRICOM since its inception in 2007). One was this Marine Corps ad that played during the 2012 Euro Cup commercials that William Easterly at NUDRI had called 'the worst promotional video of all time', and said:
Mr. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, you are now obligated to finance an equally high profile ad that will present the other side, i.e. theory and evidence against the model of Development at Gunpoint.
'And when the time comes…we're the first to move toward tyranny, injustice…and despair'. Did you happen to notice the convoys of cartons or crates stamped: AID? (still photo here) We probably don't need to hold a contest guessing what's in the boxes, eh?
Crossed Crocodiles:
The target audience of the commercial included vast numbers of people from the majority of the world whose states the Index labels failed or failing.
This is aid at gunpoint, it is also called stability operations, the reason the US Africa Command was created. The notion of stability is meant to be incoherent. It needs to be redefined for each country whose resources the US wants to acquire. Stability operations are needed to quell and control any groups or individuals who may stand in the way of perceived US interests, including acting against legally constituted governments.
Military aid and questionable trade are the twin pillars of US involvement in Africa. Imperial acquisition masquerades as humanitarian aid and manifests as the militarization of the continent through the US Africa Command, AFRICOM. Of course AFRICOM's fact sheet speaks about working with military partners. These partners are intended to be proxies or surrogates that will provide stability without accountability for corporate interests to extract resources.

Why Are We Always Trying To Stop The People Who Want To HELP Our Country?
While I don't doubt that most Americans know a lot about what immigration reform will mean for their country, perhaps not everyone knows about these potential big benefits explained in this video. Regardless of how you feel about the politics, maybe it's time for America to rethink the issue.
We work to ensure that all people who work receive the rewards of their work — decent paychecks and benefits, safe jobs, respect, and fair treatment.

text: Scholarships are financial awards that do not have to be repaid and are a great way to help finance your college education. Awards are based on criteria such as excellence in academics, community service and demonstrated leadership. Some scholarships are awarded automatically to students who qualify upon their admission to the University. These Freshman Scholarships and Transfer Scholarships are based on factors such as the student's GPA at the time of admission and SAT or ACT scores. Other UAH scholarships are awarded to eligible students who complete a Scholarship Application for the University. Students interested in being considered for scholarships must first apply for admission to the University. IMPORTANT SCHOLARSHIP DATES August 1 Departmental Scholarships Application is available December 1 Priority deadline for Departmental Scholarships Application May 1 Acceptance deadline for Departmental Scholarship offers NEW for 2014-2015! UAH Summer Scholarship Incentive Program Want to get a jump start on fall? UAH Merit Tuition Scholarship recipients who will be first-time freshmen in Fall 2014 have a chance to use a portion of next year's scholarship for summer classes. Since merit tuition scholarships now apply to up to 18 credit hours per semester, you can use part of your scholarship award during the summer and save the rest for fall. This means you get the full amount of your award without taking all 18 credits in the fall. Here's how it works: Say you take one 3 credit hour class this summer and pay for it out of pocket. During fall term, you can take just 15 credit hours but still receive 18 hours' worth of scholarship to pay you back for summer. The program also applies to Foundation Presidential, and National Merit awards. This is a great way to get a head start on classes and receive the full benefit of your scholarship without overloading your first semester. Contact our office for more information.

Osteonecrosis is bone death caused by poor blood supply. It is most common in the hip and shoulder, but can affect other large joints such as the knee, elbow, wrist and ankle.
Avascular necrosis; Bone infarction; Ischemic bone necrosis; AVN; Aseptic necrosis
Osteonecrosis occurs when part of the bone does not get blood and dies. After a while the bone can collapse. If osteonecrosis is not treated, the joint deteriorates, leading to severe arthritis.
Osteonecrosis can be caused by disease, or a severe trauma, such as a fracture or dislocation , that affects the blood supply to the bone. Osteonecrosis can also occur without trauma or disease. This is called idiopathic -- meaning it occurs without any known cause.
The following can cause:
Some diseases that are associated with the development of this condition include:
When occurs in the shoulder joint, it is usually due to long-term treatment with steroids or a history of trauma to the shoulder.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a similar condition seen in children and adolescents.
There are no symptoms in the early stages. As bone damage worsens, you may have the following symptoms:
Your health care provider will do a complete physical exam to find out if you have any diseases or conditions that may affect your bones. You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history.
Be sure to let your health care provider know about any medicines or vitamin supplements you are taking, even over-the-counter medicine.
After the exam, your health care provider will order one or more of the following tests:
If your health care provider knows the cause for osteonecrosis, part of the treatment will be aimed at the underlying condition. For example, if a blood clotting disorder is the cause, treatment will consist, in part, of clot-dissolving medicine.
If the condition is caught early, you will take pain relievers and limit use of the affected area. This may include using crutches if your hip, knee, or ankle is affected. You may need to do range-of-motion exercises. Nonsurgical treatment can often slow the progression of osteonecrosis, but most people will need surgery.
Surgical options include:
You can find more information and support resources at the following organizations:
How well you do depends on the following:
The outcome can vary from complete healing to permanent damage in the affected bone.
Advanced osteonecrosis can lead to osteoarthritis and permanent decreased mobility. Severe cases may require joint replacement.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms.
Many cases of osteonecrosis do not have a known cause, so prevention may not be possible. In some cases, you can reduce your risk by doing the following:

Culture Clubs
By Bill Francis
If baseball and cricket aren't brothers, they are probably distant cousins. And sometimes visiting relatives, when they get together, are not always readily accepted.
Such was the point made by Beth Hise, a guest curator for the Marylebone Cricket Club Museum in London, England, during a presentation on Wednesday afternoon in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's Education Gallery. Hise's work, entitled The Crowd Began to Shout "Atta Boy" With a Lancashire Accent: The English Response to Baseball Exhibition Games in the Early 20th Century, was one of many presentations that took place on the first day of the annual Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture.
Hise, who lives in Australia but was raised in Cleveland as an Indians fan, is currently working on an exhibit on cricket and baseball. She combined her appearance at the Symposium with her continuing research at the Hall of Fame.
"Today's talk was looking in detail at one small element of the exhibition, which is the spreading of the two games," said Hise. "Cricket spread internationally very strongly through the British Empire, where they weren't imposing a foreign game; they were imposing an entirely foreign system. And the game came as part of it.
"Where baseball is very different is that baseball tried to missionize and send out teams around the world but they sent out two star-studded teams to play each other," she added, referring to exhibition games held throughout Europe by the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants in both 1913-14 and 1924. "My talk looked at the reception of those two tours in the early 20th Century and how England, in particular, received those tours."
According to Hise, England saw in those tours something that was outside of anything that they would have anything to do with.
"It was great spectacle, thousands showed up for the matches, they were watched by royalty, but what I did was I looked at the press response," she said. "I found a lot of different things that the reporters wrote about – very humorous, very good natured, very much enjoying the spectacle, enjoying what they learned about Americans but keeping it all pretty much at arm's length."
Hise added the Major League Baseball International is now promoting the fact that our national pastime isn't strictly an American game but can be adopted for each country's own needs and have it reflect what they want it to.
"But in the early 20th Century it was really brought over to England as an American export and very much enjoyed in a very strongly American, patriotic sense."
The annual Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture, co-sponsored by the State University of New York College at Oneonta and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, runs through Friday. Each year, the event brings baseball scholars from throughout the country together to examine the impact of baseball on American culture from inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives.

quote:MIAMI -- LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to score 30 points and shoot at least 60 percent in six straight games, Chris Bosh scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Miami Heat held off the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 on Tuesday night.

Moses Malone and Adrian Dantley did it five straight times, but LeBron is the only one to do it six times. He had 30 points on 10-of-16 shooting on Feb. 3 to start the streak, and is averaging 31 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.8 3-pointers on 74 percent shooting over his five games since then. He's unstoppable, and all that post-game has work clearly paid off for him, while the Heat have won eight straight at home and six straight overall.

(CNN) – Live on, the story does.
After the nerd-world lit up following President Barack Obama's now-famous Star Wars mix-up on Friday, Lucasfilm, the company behind the movie series, has officially weighed in.
Obama said Friday he didn't have the power to "somehow do a Jedi mind meld with these folks and convince them to do what's right" on reaching a deal to avert the forced spending cuts. The comment came in response to a question from CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin after the president met with top congressional leaders from both parties.
For anyone fluent with the two sci-fi ventures, the jumble was obvious: Obama conflated the Jedi mind trick with the Vulcan mind meld (duh!). The debate brought out "Star Trek" stars George Takei (Mr. Sulu) and Leonard Nimoy (Spock), a comical response from the White House, and even a petition calling for an apology from the president (It has 53 signatures).
But a spokeswoman from Lucasfilm said the president wasn't too far off the mark.
"President Obama might have created a mash-up of Star Wars friends at Lucasfilm and Star Trek but he also might be a lot more savvy with his knowledge of Star Wars than anyone is giving him credit for," Lynne Hale said. "In some of the Star Wars spin-off books there is a 'Force Meld'."
She continued: "All of President Obama's friends at Lucasfilm would love to believe that his expertise in Star Wars knowledge runs deep..."
So what is a "Force Meld"? Besides an excellent trivia answer, a force meld is apparently "a technique where a number of Force users join their minds together through the Force, drawing strength from each other," according to "Wookieepedia," the Star Wars wiki.
No matter what Obama meant to say, he'll likely still feel support from the Star Wars community. After all, Star Wars creator George Lucas was a major donor of Obama's election bids. And the president has wielded both Star Wars and Star Trek references in the past–with success.


text: Just wanted to share my experience regarding my recent knife purchase with sharp and shiny shop. Lefty was awesome to deal with. He answered any questions I had super quick and was patient as paypal mucked up the payment process(on my end). My knife arrived in the US safely and quickly, four or five days I believe. The knife was packaged very nicely and even gift wrapped with a personalized hand written note. I even got a sample of the Brooklyn to london shave soap which smells awesome! The knife I picked up was used but in as good as new condition, clearly the knife was well cared for and came with a very sharp edge . As I use my new knife a bit more I'll try my hand at a review in the kitchen knife section. Thanks again Lefty for helping me pick a knife up that I had drooled over many times.

Contents |
In the Part 1 of this series of articles, we had an idea about the File Functions of the Geo-Scheduler or the Location-Scheduler application. In this article - Part 2, we would learn about the Feature Functions of the application.
Feature Functions of the application include options to add a new location, Edit a location, Edit a location, Editing screen function, etc. Below are the Listed Feature functions used in the application, which we would discuss in this article.
- add_location : Add a new location
- edit_location : Edit a location
- add_reminder : Add a new reminder
- edit_reminder : Editing screen function.
- edit_reminder_bylocation : Edit reminder by location function
- edit_reminder_byreminder : Edit reminder by reminder function
Part 2
Using this function we create a selection list with options like "Cell Id: " + unicode(str(cellid)), "Add Location", "Refresh".
We fetch the current cellid to variable cellid using the location module.
The current cellid would be displayed as the first element in the list.
(mcc, mnc, lac, cellid) = location.gsm_location()
We need to save a new added location to the file c:\\location.dat, for this we just call the save_location function which would write the values to the location.dat file.
When the entry has been successfully added we show a confirmation note "Location added!"
save_location function has been discussed in Part 1. You can view its definition here.
The definition of the add_location() could be as follows:
def add_location():
(mcc, mnc, lac, cellid) = location.gsm_location()
while True:
addlocationlist = [u"Cell Id: " + unicode(str(cellid)), u"Add Location", u"Refresh"]
location_opt = appuifw.selection_list(choices=addlocationlist)
if location_opt or location_opt == 0:
if location_opt == 0:
temporary_cellid = appuifw.query(u"Enter cell id:", "number", cellid)
if temporary_cellid:
cellid = temporary_cellid
elif location_opt == 1:
cellname = appuifw.query(u"Enter the location name for " + unicode(str(cellid)) + u":", "text")
if cellname:
cellids[str(cellid)] = str(cellname)
appuifw.note(u"Location added!", "info")
elif location_opt == 2:
(mcc, mnc, lac, cellid) = location.gsm_location()
The previous function add_location() was used to add location names corresponding to a particular cellid. Edit Location as the name suggests is used to modify a pre-added location to the database file.
We have disabled using ":" as a part of the location name, thus it induces an error while trying to have ":" (colon) as a part of the location name.
Here also we use the save_location() function to save the modified location.
save_location() function has been discussed in Part 1. You can view its definition here.
The definition of the add_location() could be as follows:
def edit_location():
locationlist = location_list()
location_in = appuifw.selection_list(choices=locationlist, search_field=1)
if location_in or location_in == 0:
ed_location = locationlist[location_in]
while True:
ed_location = appuifw.query(u"Edit location:", "text", ed_location)
if ed_location:
colons = ed_location.count(':')
if colons > 0:
appuifw.note(u"Cannot use ':' as part of location name.", "error")
cellids[geo[locationlist[location_in]]] = ed_location
Like add_location(), add_reminder() is also one of the key functions. add_reminder() adds a user defined reminder to a database file. The database file we use here is reminder.dat which is located in C: and is addressed by file_handler_reminder.
file_handler_reminder = "c:\\reminder.dat"
This file handler is used in the save_reminder() function defined in Part 1
Definition for save_location() can be seen here.
In add_reminder() variables like date and desc are used which store the date and description for the custom reminder to be added. We have also used flags like addreminder_cancelled in the function.
Again in the function ':' cannot be used as part of description and doing that throws an exception.
Notes are shown for various actions from the user, like "Reminder Saved" and "Reminder canceled"!
The definition of the add_reminder() could be as follows:
def add_reminder():
locationlist = location_list()
location_in = appuifw.selection_list(choices=locationlist, search_field=1)
# if location_in == null, means the area selection list was canceled,
# so dont show the rest of the options.
addreminder_cancelled = 0
if location_in or location_in == 0:
date = appuifw.query(u"Reminder date:", "date", time.time())
if date:
date = date
desc = u''
while True:
desc = appuifw.query(u"Reminder text:", "text", desc)
if desc:
colons = desc.count(':')
if colons > 0:
appuifw.note(u"Cannot use ':' as part of description.", "error")
addreminder_cancelled = 3
addreminder_cancelled = 2
addreminder_cancelled = 1
if addreminder_cancelled == 0:
reminders[str(len(reminders))] = {'cell':geo[locationlist[location_in]], 'date':str(date), 'desc':desc}
appuifw.note(u"Reminder Added")
appuifw.note(u"Reminder Canceled!", 'error')
After a reminder has been added for a specific location, there can be two possible ways the user can edit this reminder entry.
1) By editing the reminder i.e the reminder description.
2) By editing the reminder location.
The edit_reminder_bylocation() modifies the reminder location. Thus the user would again be showed the location list and can reselect the location which is assigned to the reminder.
The reminder can also be canceled or deleted by the user. We use the edreminder_cancelled flag variable for this purposes. After deleting the user can again add the reminder and edit it as well.
We use the edit_reminder(reminder_id) function in edit_reminder_byreminder() which is defined here.
The definition of the edit_reminder_bylocation() could be as follows:
def edit_reminder_bylocation():
locationlist = location_list()
# Show reminder selection list.
edreminder_cancelled = 0
locationindex = appuifw.selection_list(choices=locationlist, search_field=1)
bylocation_list = []
if locationindex or locationindex == 0:
for key, value in reminders.items():
if value['cell'] == geo[locationlist[locationindex]]:
bylocation_list.append(unicode(str(key) + ": " + value['desc']))
reminderindex = appuifw.selection_list(choices=bylocation_list, search_field=1)
if reminderindex or reminderindex == 0:
reminder_id, reminder_desc = bylocation_list[reminderindex].split(':')
edreminder_cancelled = edit_reminder(reminder_id)
edreminder_cancelled = 2
edreminder_cancelled = 1
# Cancelled at some point.
if edreminder_cancelled > 1:
This function deals for modifying a pre-added reminder for its description.
Using this function the reminder can also be deleted if the user wishes. The edreminder_cancelled is the flag variable used for this purpose.
We use the edit_reminder(reminder_id) function in edit_reminder_byreminder() which is defined here.
The definition of the edit_reminder_byreminder) could be as follows:
def edit_reminder_byreminder():
# Show reminder selection list.
edreminder_cancelled = 0
byreminder_list = []
for key, value in reminders.items():
byreminder_list.append(unicode(str(key) + ": " + value['desc']))
reminderindex = appuifw.selection_list(choices=byreminder_list, search_field=1)
if reminderindex or reminderindex == 0:
reminder_id, reminder_desc = byreminder_list[reminderindex].split(':')
edreminder_cancelled = edit_reminder(reminder_id)
edreminder_cancelled = 1
# Cancelled at some point.
if edreminder_cancelled > 1:
This function is the primary function used to modify an pre-added reminder.
We have used this in modifying functions like edit_reminder_byreminder() and edit_reminder_bylocation().
This function would be responsible for modifying the reminder desc, date, time or location as per the function call.
The reminder that is to be edited or modified is identified by the parameter of the function. We have named this parameter as reminder_id and it is a parameter to be passed to the function according to the selection list index chosen by the user.
Warnings or notes are shown to the user for confirmation like "Saved!", "Deleted!" and "Not saved".
The definition for edit_reminder(reminder_id) could be as follows:
def edit_reminder(reminder_id):
locationlist = location_list()
edreminder_desc = unicode(reminders[reminder_id]['desc'])
edreminder_date = float(reminders[reminder_id]['date'])
edreminder_location = unicode(cellids[reminders[reminder_id]['cell']])
while True:
edreminder_values = [u"ID: " + reminder_id, u"Desc: " + edreminder_desc, u"Date: " + unicode(time.strftime
("%d/%m/%Y", time.gmtime(edreminder_date+5400))), u"Location: " + edreminder_location, u"[ save ]", u"[ delete ]"]
edreminder_index = appuifw.selection_list(choices=edreminder_values, search_field=1)
if edreminder_index == 0:
elif edreminder_index == 1:
# Editing the description.
temporary_desc = edreminder_desc
while True:
temporary_desc = appuifw.query(u"Reminder text:", "text", temporary_desc)
if temporary_desc:
colons = temporary_desc.count(':')
if colons > 0:
appuifw.note(u"Cannot use ':' as part of description.", "error")
edreminder_desc = temporary_desc
elif edreminder_index == 2:
# Editing the date.
temporary_date = appuifw.query(u"Reminder date:", "date", float(edreminder_date))
if temporary_date:
edreminder_date = temporary_date
elif edreminder_index == 3:
# Editing the location.
temporary_location = appuifw.selection_list(choices=locationlist, search_field=1)
if temporary_location or temporary_location == 0:
edreminder_location = locationlist[temporary_location]
elif edreminder_index == 4:
# Save to dictionary.
reminders[reminder_id]['desc'] = edreminder_desc
reminders[reminder_id]['date'] = edreminder_date
reminders[reminder_id]['cell'] = geo[edreminder_location]
# Save edited values to file.
appuifw.note(u"Saved!", 'info')
return 4
elif edreminder_index == 5:
# Save edited values to file.
del reminders[reminder_id]
appuifw.note(u"Deleted!", 'info')
return 5
# Cancelled.
appuifw.note(u"Not saved!", 'error')
return 3
# End while
# End def
That finishes the Feature functions (Part 2) for the Geo-scheduler.
The next article in the series : Part 3 for Geo-Scheduler, would cover Application Operations for the application and would conclude this application.

That's the simple part. The legs take quite a bit of work, but I found it to be quite relaxing:
1- Line a flat chopping board with wax paper. Keep it in the freezer until you need it.
2- Melt 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. I always melt my chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals stirring. Nuke, stir, nuke, stir...
3- Using a #3 round decorating tip (or cut a 3 millimeter hole in one corner or a small ziploc bag and fill it with the melted chocolate), start drawing little "V" shapes on the cold wax-paper-covered board. These will be your legs. With 1/4 cup of melted chocolate you should be able to have 64 V shaped legs, enough for 8 cookies. Don't use it all up! Save just a little bit of chocolate in the bag for step five! Tip: To keep the chocolate soft, fill a food storage container with hot water, then cover with a tight lid and sit the pastry bag/ziploc on top of the lid. The warmth will keep the chocolate soft.
4- Let the chocolate legs harden in the fridge for 30 minutes or until you can "peel" them off whole with a spatula.
5- Using the pastry bag/ziploc again, take a cookie and squeeze a little chocolate drop onto the eight spots where the legs will go. The melted chocolate will work as glue. Hurry before the chocolate drops harden, move on to step six!
6- Attach eight legs to the chocolate drops, working very quickly so the legs don't melt in your fingertips. I actually bought a new pair of tweezers that are used only in the kitchen for projects like this. They're like mini tongs!
7- Using a basic, fairly stiff powder sugar icing (powder sugar and water) draw the eyes and mouths. Again, use a pastry bag or ziploc with a corner cut off to pipe on the eyes and mouths. I used a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to create a dots in the center of their eyes. That's all folks!
I've seen these made with black licorice legs, which looks WAY easier to make. But I just like to complicate the heck out of my life instead! More spider goodies coming up next week! Thank you everyone for such sweet comments!! :)

I placed several items in my cart earlier today. All but one was from the $2 Tuesday specials. When I returned tonight to purchase them (11:30 pm) all the $2 prices had disappeared like it was no longer $2 Tuesday.:confused1:
I was also going to get a second cart with some items, but the $2 prices are not showing. Do the $2 Tuesday prices end at 5 pm or something? Does this mean I will not get in on the sale? Is this a glitch in the technology?
Please help. I really wanted to purchase the items.
Thank you,

Solo believe that cycling culture is much more than crossing the finish line first. It is about ethics, determination, companionship, spirit, honour, mystery and brotherhood.

Green Right Now
We hear every day about dangerous chemicals in household products that are linked to cancer, infertility, autism and other diseases – yet many Americans may not realize just how many of these harmful substances they've actually ingested in the course of everyday living.
The answer? About 48. That's according a study by the Environmental Working Group and Rachel's Network, in which five leading minority women environmentalists from different parts of the country volunteered to have their blood tested for toxic substances. The results, say EWG experts, show that regulation of chemicals in the U.S. is weak and "antiquated" and needs a major overhaul.
The tests, performed by four independent labs in the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands, looked for traces of 75 common chemical contaminants that might turn up in people because they are used in household goods, plastics, beauty products and food and water.
It found, in the aggregate, traces of 48 chemicals in the women, notably flame retardants (used to treat some furniture and clothing), synthetic fragrances (from body care products and perfumes), the plastics ingredient Bisphenol A (found in bottles, canned food liners and other products) and the rocket fuel perchlorate (which has been found in some drinking water).
"We are fighting the things we know that are there, the things (pollutants) outside," said Suzie Canales, founder of Citizens for Environmental Justice in Corpus Christi, which has pushed for a cleaner environment in a city with a concentration of oil refineries. "But it's a double injustice to find out that the products put on the market are also killing us."
Canales report showed that her blood contained traces of chemicals from BPA, musks, rocket fuel, lead and mercury. The profiles of the other women tested also turned up several chemicals, at levels above average, that have been linked to harmful health effects; though the toxic mix varied by individual.
The findings made concrete the suspicion that all Americans are being exposed to a daily brew of chemicals that advocates now call our chemical "body burden".
"I was frustrated to learn about the industrial chemical contamination through this study. I am a mother and I have a 7 year old daughter. I try to live a sustainable life style," said Jennifer Hill-Kelley, a member of the Oneida Nation who's worked to clean up environmental pollution outside of Green Bay, Wisc. "… I don't have the information about the personal care products or the plastics I use…and I feel that as a consumer I deserve that information to be shared with me."
Beverly Wright, a New Orleans sociology professor working to fight pollution in the heavily industrialized Lower Mississippi River Valley area, said she was "disturbed" to discover that her tests showed a high level of musks, which are potentially hazardous compounds in synthetic fragrances.
