(CNN) — Colombia and the United States signed an agreement Friday that allows U.S. personnel to be stationed at seven military bases in the South American nation.
The United States says it needs the bases to help in its fight against terrorists and narcotraffickers, especially since the closure a few months ago of a U.S. base in Ecuador. The United States maintains similar “forward operating locations” in El Salvador and Aruba-Curacao.
Colombia’s agreement to host the Americans has come under harsh criticism in Latin America, particularly from President Hugo Chavez in neighboring Venezuela.
Chavez has likened the agreement to an act of war and accuses the United States of wanting to stage military personnel nearby to destabilize his leftist government.
The U.S. forward operating location in Aruba-Curacao is off the northern coast of Venezuela.
The United States linked Colombia’s agreement to a trade pact the South American nation wants. Colombia also stands to gain from U.S. help in the nation’s 45-year-old war against Marxist guerrillas known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, commonly called FARC.
Colombian Foreign Minister Jaime Bermudez, Defense Minister Gabriel Silva and Interior and Justice Minister Fabio Valencia Cossio were joined by U.S. Ambassador William Brownfield in signing the document Friday in Bogota, the nation’s capital.

(CNN) — A Dutch court Friday ruled against letting a 14-year-old girl sail solo around the world, saying she is not experienced enough to make the trip on her own.
Laura Dekker would be allowed to travel from July 1 of next year if she fulfills certain requirements the court established for her to sail.
In August, Dutch authorities placed Dekker under state care for two months, following her parents’ refusal to prevent her from undertaking the potentially dangerous voyage.
Dekker is seeking to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
The current record holder is 17-year-old British teenager Mike Perham who completed his nine-month voyage in August.

Jack and Tom, are having a beer in a saloon when a cowboy walks in with an Indian’s head under his arm. He hands it to the bartender, and the bartender hands him money. The bartender turns to them and says, “I hate Indians. Last week they burnt my barn to the ground and killed my wife and three kids. Anybody brings me the head of an Indian, I’ll give them a thousand bucks.” Jack and Tom guzzle their beers and leave to go hunt Indians. After a while, they finally spot one. Jack throws a rock, it hits him on the head, the Indian falls off his horse, and rolls seventy feet down a ravine. The two cowboys make their way down the ravine and Tom pulls out his knife to claim their trophy. Jack says, “Tom, take a look at this.” Tom says, “Not now, I’m busy.” Jack says, “I really think you should have a look.” Tom says, “Asshole, can’t you see I’m busy? I’ve got a thousand dollars in my hand.” Jack says, “Please, Tom, take a look.” Tom looks up at the top of the ravine, and there’s five thousand Indians standing there. Tom says, “Fuck! We’re gonna be millionaires!”
Two buddies were out for a Saturday stroll. One had a Doberman and the other had a Chihuahua. As they sauntered down the street, the guy with the Doberman said to his friend, “Let’s go over to that bar and get something to drink.” The guy with the Chihuahua said, “We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us.”
The one with the Doberman said, “Just follow my lead.” They walked over to the bar and the guy with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the bar. The bouncer at the door said, “Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed.”
The man with the Doberman said, “You don’t understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog.” The bouncer said, “A Doberman pinscher?” The man said, “Yes, they’re using them now. They’re very good.” The bouncer said, “OK then, come on in.” The buddy with the Chihuahua figured he’d try it too so he put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk into the bar. He knew his story would be a bit more unbelievable. Once again the bouncer said,
“Sorry, pal, no pets allowed.” The man with the Chihuahua said, “You don’t understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog.”
The bouncer said, “A Chihuahua?” The man with the Chihuahua said, “A Chihuahua?!? A Chihuahua?!? They gave me a damn Chihuahua???”
In order to protect your Ugg classic tall or other footwear we highly recommend treating all sheepskin footwear (not only Uggs) with official UGG Cleaner and conditioner and all sheepskin and suede footwear with UGG Water and Stain Repellent, this is because Uggs cleaners and repellents are of the best quality in the world so you should feel very confident in using them. Follow the instructions provided and cleaning your shoes or boots every forty–five days is usually recommended.
Never put the cleaner directly on the footwear as this may damage it. ONLY wash by hands and dilute the cleaner with water. Put the cleaner on a wash rag (clean one ) and then pat on your Uggs boots until the dirt comes off but never rub too hard. Rinse the area with cool H20 and then let it dry somewhere BUT never in the sunlight because this will seriously mess up your expensiveboots.
For the water repellent make sure you are using the official Ugg brand then spray the surface of your boots until it looks wet but isn’t drenched and then leave them alone for at least twenty-four hours…away from any kind of heat source ( this is important ).
Remember the better you care for your Uggs classic tall Boots, the longer they will last and the more you will get out of these amazing pieces of footwear.
