You may have heard that a tornado hit the Antiochian Village Camp and St Thekla Monastery on Friday, June 1st at approximately 5:20 PM. Thanks to our gracious and loving God, the members of our staff were in St Ignatius Church at the time praying the Paraklesis to the Mother of God when the tornado struck. No one was hurt. However there is extensive damage at the camp. We have hundreds of trees down and eighteen of our buildings were impacted by the tornado and tree debris. We have already started the clean up process. We have much work to do to get the camp back in shape. Please keep us in your prayers. We will provide updates as we have more information.
I guess it's a good thing Orthodoxy doesn't have it's Pat Robertson/Jerry Falwell equivalency; this could be read as a 'sign'. Lord, have mercy!
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.

I live fairly close to Antiochian Village, and I didn't see much else on the local news that was damaged in the area. Hmmm...

HANOVER – Officials at the South Shore YMCA's Emilson Branch in Hanover have stepped up sanitation measures following cases of hand, foot and mouth disease among children.
In an email Monday to members, the Y said the increase in sanitation measures has taken place over the "the last few weeks." The measures in the playroom, such as disinfectant use, were increased in an effort to stop the virus from spreading, according to the email.
"However, the use of disinfectants has not been entirely successful in keeping the virus out of the Playroom," the email said. "As a result, we have begun using bleach and water on all surfaces, toys and equipment, as well as washing all plush toys with bleach, in accordance with the requests of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health."
Phone calls to the Y for further comment were not returned Monday.
The disease, also known as Coxsackie virus, is a common viral illness that usually affects children under 5 years of age, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is moderately contagious and is spread by sharing eating and drinking utensils, and through coughing and sneezing.
The symptoms are a fever, sore throat and reduced appetite. Red spots can develop on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Painful mouth sores can develop a day or two later.
The CDC said the virus is usually not serious, and most who get it recover in 7 to 10 days. Complications are rare.
Anthony Marino, Hanover's director of community services, said the town's public health nurse went to the Y last week to instruct officials on how prevent the spread of the virus.
"We've informed them on what to do," Marino said.
In addition to sanitation measures, he said children showing signs of illness must be sent home.
He classified the number of cases as "a few."
Sarah Darcy, a spokeswoman for South Shore Hospital, said the hospital has not seen an increase in patients with the Coxsackie virus.

Boston Public Transit Does It Right: Opens Scheduling Data
from the nice-move dept
"Our priority is to consistently improve customer service for the riders who rely on the T and RTAs everyday to get to their job or their doctor's appointment on time," said Transportation Secretary Aloisi. "With the help of thoughtful technical developers, making this data public will spawn many possible applications to help transit users use their cell phones or laptops to find and use the right bus or train in the right place at the right time for them."Nice to see at least a few out there who have figured this out.

In this archive television clip from WNBC-TV in June of 1989, rosacea is said to be "no laughing matter." W.C. Fields' iconic red nose leads into a description of rosacea's signature symptoms, as explained by Dr. Jonathan Wilkin, long-time chairman of the National Rosacea Society's Medical Advisory Board, which oversees the NRS research grants program.
In this 1989 video, you'll see one of the earliest TV news stories about rosacea. Dr. Art Ulene on NBC's "TODAY" Show explains what rosacea is and how it could be treated.
While rosacea has become increasingly recognized as a common and conspicuous red-faced disorder, mounting evidence has shown that it can cause far more emotional stress and physical pain than previously known. April has been designated as Rosacea Awareness Month by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) to alert the public to the warning signs of this chronic and often progressive condition now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans.
While the ravages of subtype 3 (phymatous) rosacea have been well documented throughout history, today a multitude of options are available to restore a red, swollen or bumpy nose (rhinophyma) to normal appearance.
Individuals with severe rosacea are often anxious about the social consequences of blushing and may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, according to a recent study in the journal Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy.1

Emotional stress and physical pain are among the invisible components of rosacea beyond its red-faced, conspicuous appearance, according to new patient surveys by the National Rosacea Society (NRS). The NRS has designated April as Rosacea Awareness Month to alert the public to the warning signs of this chronic and often life-disruptive facial disorder now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans.
Rosacea and winter skin care were in the news recently as a featured segment on NBC-TV's "Today" show. Dermatologist Dr. Jeanine Downie discussed how rosacea is often more noticeable during the colder months, and offered some tips on how to protect and soothe sensitive skin.
To watch the entire interview, click here.
Two recent studies, funded by individual donations to the National Rosacea Society (NRS), have discovered potential key factors in the development of rosacea that open new possibilities for important advances in its treatment and prevention.
A malfunction in part of the body's nervous system may be linked to the redness as well as the bumps and pimples of rosacea, according to a recently completed study by Dr. Akihiko Ikoma and colleagues at the University of California-San Francisco.
The changing weather, combined with a social calendar packed with get-togethers and parties, can wreak havoc on rosacea. Here are some tips for navigating the holiday season successfully:
Although emotional stress is reported to be one of the most common rosacea triggers, effective stress management can lead to a reduction in the number of stress-related flare-ups, according to results of a new National Rosacea Society (NRS) survey.
The fall edition of Rosacea Review is now online at rosacea.org. This issue summarizes new results of medical research funded by the National Rosacea Society, and also offers advice to rosacea patients on the use of cosmetics to camouflage rosacea symptoms.
While medical therapy is an essential weapon in the battle against rosacea, identifying and avoiding the individual lifestyle and environmental factors that may aggravate the disorder can be a critical tactic to include in the arsenal. In National Rosacea Society (NRS) surveys of patients who pinpointed and steered clear of their personal rosacea triggers, more than 90 percent reported that this had reduced their rosacea flare-ups.
Individuals with prominent neurologic symptoms might be considered a subset of rosacea, according to a report by Dr. Tiffany Scharschmidt and colleagues at the department of dermatology, University of California-San Francisco.1
In their study of 14 rosacea patients, the researchers found that a high percentage had neurologic (43 percent) or neuropsychiatric (50 percent) conditions such as headache, depression, essential tremor and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The knowledgeable use of cosmetics combined with topical medication prescribed by your dermatologist can camouflage the embarrassing redness, bumps and pimples of rosacea with a smooth appearance while medical therapy works to minimize or banish the underlying condition.
The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has awarded funding for three new studies in addition to continuing support for five ongoing studies as part of its research grants program to increase knowledge and understanding of the potential causes and other key aspects of rosacea.

The latest issue of Rosacea Review is now online at rosacea.org. This issue announces new research grant awards, funded by individual donations to the National Rosacea Society, and also offers advice to rosacea patients who are struggling to control the lifestyle and environmental factors that trigger flare-ups of signs and symptoms.
Much to their chagrin, millions of American adults are now walking around red-faced, and many of them don't know why. They may assume it's just a temporary complexion problem, and like teenage acne it will eventually go away by itself. What they don't realize is that they are likely to be unknowing victims of rosacea – "The Great Impostor" – a complex and potentially serious facial disorder that can lead to significant disruption and untold anguish in their personal lives if left untreated.
Unless effectively controlled, rosacea can play havoc on job interactions and employment, according to a new survey by the National Rosacea Society on the impact in the workplace of this widespread, red-faced disorder now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans.

Durban OPEN | 11 - 14 December 2013
Durban, South Africa, November 20, 2013 – As final arrangements are underway for the Durban Open – the last beach volleyball event of 2013 – the promoters are preparing themselves for some high quality action on the court as well as a huge fan turnout in the city where the 'fun never sets'.
"I am confident that our well-coordinated media blitz will create the desired awareness of the global beach volleyball event in our city," said promoter Sunil Geness a former KZN Provincial volleyball player of note.
"To this end we are bracing ourselves for a
huge turnout of fans and the general public for the entire duration of the sizzling
beach volleyball event," he continued.
The Durban Open promises to be an interesting one for spectators attending the matches, with attractive give-aways planned for the event. "Be in the stands if you want to be a winner," said Geness.
The beach volleyball loving public of 'surf-city' Durban will welcome some of the sport's best players for the Open event scheduled to take place at New Beach from December 11 to 15.
Meanwhile, South Africa's 2016 Olympic Games hopefuls, Freedom Chiya and Grant Goldschmidt head the country's contenders. Other South African men's teams who have registered for the event include: Jerome Fredericks/Leo Williams; Leslie Naidoo/Kiefer Govender; Ivan Solomons/Casey Augoustides; Clinton Stemmet/Jamine Naidoo.
The country's top women's seeds of Palesa Sekhonyana/Randy Williams, along with compatriots Judith Augoustides/Kirsten Pocock, Sheena Abrahams/Natasha Strijdom, Anneta Frederikens/Gadija Jappie are also scheduled to take part.
South Africa has hosted one women's and three men's FIVB tournaments, and the only previous event in Durban was a men's open event on the FIVB World Tour held in 1996, with Brazil's Rogerio Ferreira/Guilherme Marques winning the gold medal over USA's 1996 Olympic silver medalists Mike Dodd/Mike Whitmarsh.
The men's FIVB World Tour has played three times in Cape Town (1995, 2004, 2005) although the only double-gender event was the 2005 tournament.
The Durban Open looks set to have a number of African countries take to the courts, with Namibia and Egypt having currently registered teams for the event.

Abbey Lincoln, an acclaimed jazz singer, songwriter and actress who evolved from a supper-club singer into a strong voice for civil rights, has died. She was 80.
Lincoln died Saturday in a nursing home in New York, said Evelyn Mason, her niece. No cause was given, but she had been in failing health.
Lincoln built a career as an actress and singer in the late 1950s through the turbulent 1960s, then stepped away during the 1970s and, years later, returned to prominence as a singer praised for her songwriting abilities.
"There was a passion to what she did," said jazz critic Don Heckman, who noted that Lincoln's songwriting made her a rarity among jazz singers. "She was not someone who was just singing a song. She had an agenda, and a lot of it had to do with civil rights.... She expressed herself in dramatic and impressive fashion in what she said and how she sang."
Her voice was a "special instrument, producing a sound that is parched rather than pure or perfect," wrote the New York Times' Peter Watrous in 1996. "But her limitations infuse her singing with honesty. More important, she understands the words she sings, declaiming them with a flare of memory that seems to illuminate all the lost love and sadness people experience."
She was often compared with Billie Holiday, one of her early influences. Times jazz writer Leonard Feather, writing after a Lincoln performance in 1986, said he could see glimpses of Holiday. "Not so much vocally as visually — a slight toss of the head, a jutting of the jaw," he wrote. "As Lincoln said, 'We all stand on the shoulders of those who preceded us.' "
And Lincoln made an impact on the next generation.
"She opened up doors, not just in the sense of career possibilities but as empowerment to be myself when I sang," singer Cassandra Wilson told the Wall Street Journal in 2007.
Lincoln was born Anna Marie Wooldridge on Aug. 6, 1930, in Chicago, the 10th of 12 children. The family soon moved to rural Michigan.
She moved to California in 1951 and performed in local clubs, then spent two years singing in Honolulu before coming back to Los Angeles. And she became Abbey Lincoln, inspired by Westminster Abbey and Abraham Lincoln. Her manager, songwriter Bob Russell, thought of the name.
Lincoln had a role in the 1956 film "The Girl Can't Help It" in which she wore a dress once worn by Marilyn Monroe. The appearance, coupled with her first album, "Abbey Lincoln's Affair: A Story of a Girl in Love," gave her a glamorous image. That changed when she started working with jazz drummer Max Roach, whose music would reflect the coming civil rights struggle. They married in 1962.
"I started out being a sexy young thing in a Marilyn Monroe dress," she told The Times in 2000, "And Max Roach freed me from that."
The 1960 release "We Insist! Freedom Now Suite" included Lincoln's wordless, sometimes screaming duet with Roach and was a landmark musical statement of the civil rights movement.
Lincoln "was like an OK supper singer," critic and producer Nat Hentoff told The Times in 1993. "Then I went down to the Village Gate here in New York where Max and she were doing the 'Freedom Now Suite.' It was just extraordinary, the power of it."
Critics were divided. "We all paid a price, but it was important to say something," she told the Wall Street Journal in 2007. "It still is."
Movie roles followed, including "Nothing But a Man" in 1964 and "For Love of Ivy" in 1968, in which she starred with Sidney Poitier.
Lincoln "was a really gifted person and a truly wonderful actress. She was the kind of person you expected to live forever," Poitier told The Times on Saturday.
"She was gifted in so many ways. She was quite productive, and it was quite rewarding for those of us who heard her sing and watched her act."
Lincoln and Roach divorced in 1970, and she returned to California to "cleanse her spirit," she told The Times in 1993. She taught at what is now Cal State Northridge, did some television work and performed only occasionally.
Her career took off again in the late 1980s, with works including two 1987 albums paying tribute to Holiday. Living in New York, she moved to the Verve Music Group and had commercial and artistic success with "The World Is Falling Down" in 1990 and "You Gotta Pay the Band" in 1991, in which she performed with saxophone great Stan Getz. Her final new release was "Abbey Sings Abbey" in 2007.
Lincoln is survived by brothers David and Kenneth Wooldridge and a sister, Juanita Baker.

A person familiar with the deal says the Miami Marlins have undergone another payroll purge by trading shortstop Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and right-hander Josh Johnson to the Toronto Blue Jays as part of a blockbuster deal.
The person confirmed the trade to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the teams weren't officially commenting. The person said the trade sent several of the Blue Jays' top prospects to the Marlins.
The stunning agreement came less than a year after the Marlins added Reyes, Buehrle and closer Heath Bell in an uncharacteristic $191 million spending spree as they moved into a new ballpark. The binge raised high hopes, but the Marlins instead finished last in the NL East.

Molecular Gastronomy
Molecular gastronomy is a culinary science in which the chemical and physical properties of different foods are used in the creation of innovative and artistic foods. Though not necessarily the first scientists to use molecular gastronomy, physicist Nicholas Kurti and chemist Hert This were the first to name this culinary art form "molecular gastronomy" in 1992. Other common names for molecular gastronomy include culinary physics and experimental cuisine. [2][5]
Nicholas Kurti was known as the "physicist in the kitchen". His main science was physics and taught at Oxford University in the UK. Kurti's favorite hobby was cooking. Kurti especially enjoyed pushing the limits of the culinary art with science. Hert This is a French physical chemist whose main research involves molecular gastronomy.[2][5]
Marie-Antoine Carême was one the first well respected culinary masters and recipe writers in France during the 1700s. She recognized important chemical and physical properties of foods when cooking. In the earlier ages of molecular gastronomy, around the 1700s, the coagulation of proteins, optimal heating rates, absorption of flavors, and other cooking techniques were observed and studied. Texture and flavor are directly affected by these different techniques.
Cooking Techniques
Basic spherification involves the creation of a thin membrane around a gelatinous liquid recipe. Sodium alginate is the main ingredient that gives the gelatinous properties to a liquid. When calcium is added to the mixture, a resilient gelatinous membrane forms around a spherical gelatinous ingredient. Sodium alginate is a tasteless thickener and an emulsifier often used in food industry which is derived from certain brown seaweeds.[14]
Reverse spherification is similar to basic spherification. A liquid food is frozen into spherical molds then placed into a sodium alginate and calcium bath creating a gelatinous membrane about the frozen sphere. The membrane forms about the frozen sphere before it is able to melt. The result is a water balloon-like product that can be seasoned a variety of different ways and even colored with food coloring. [13]
Noodles, raviolis, and any other shape can be created with various soups or other liquid recipes using sodium alginate and calcium. Flavored foam can be made using soy lecithin. Soy lecithin added to any juice and mixed rapidly will produce a frothy foam and can be used as a topping. Similar to sodium alginate, no heat is required for this process. Dry ice can be placed in a recipe to spread the aroma of the food. Tapioca maltodextrin and salt are used to transform high-fat liquids into powders. For example olive oil, caramel, or even Nutella can be turned into a powder by this method but will melt back into oily substance if water is added to the powder. Ascorbic acid is used in bakeries to prevent apples from oxidizing on pies and such. [7][6][13]
Examples of foods made by molecular gastronomy:
- Soufflés
- Merengue
- Jell-O
- Pudding
- Pea Raviolis
- Clear raviolis
- Spherical Ice Cream Sundaes
- Spinach spaghetti
- Caviar
Molecular Gastronomy by Genetic Engineering
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are becoming more common. Plants are genetically engineered to retain more nutrients, to produce brighter and more attractive pigments, to be more flavorful, to be seedless, to stay fresh longer, retain stiffness, grow larger, and to be "smart crops" in which they produce their own insecticides. Some crops that are genetically engineered include tomatoes, bananas, cotton, corn, and other fruits and vegetables. [4][8]
Pentadiplandra brazzeana is a fruit that contains a protein, known as brazzein, that is common in many other fruits and is responsible for sweetness. Brazzein protein is 2,000 times sweeter than sucrose in comparison by weight and has no structural homology to sucrose. The pSUMO-brazzein vector was used from pentadiplandra brazzeana to produce brazzein in E. Coli. SUMO fusion system allowed the production of brazzein in E. Coli. Proper folding occurred allowing for solubility and protein endurance over a wide range of temperature and pH. [1]
OSGATA vs. Monsanto
Monsanto is one of the leading companies in genetically engineered crops. Monsanto has created genetically engineered Agracetus cotton among many other crops. A problem Monsanto has with growing genetically crops is cross-pollination and contamination with other neighboring farms. Surrounding farms eventually become contaminated with Monsanto's genetically modified seeds and naturally sell crops that were originally engineered by Monsanto. Monsanto has sued surrounding farms for plant infringement in the past. In order to prevent this from happening again farmers demanded assurance from Monsanto to not sue over cross-pollination. [9]
In 1985, Hibberd Case established the right to patent seeds, plants, and tissue culture. GMOs raise controversial questions such as who owns life? How can cross-pollination be prevented? Similar problems with patent problems to that of Monsanto have occurred with the Endless Summer Tomato. [8]
Steve Tansley, founder of Monsanto, provided an example of a tomato (Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium) which had been genetically engineered to retain more nutrients, have better shelf life, contain less toxins, and taste better. [8][15]
iGEM Projects
Harvard iGEM
Harvard iGarden includes plants genetically engineered to have various flavors, to be void of certain allergens, and to have modified petal colors. Their aim was to create a BioBrick tool kit for the creation of a Harvard iGarden. The genetic modification of plants was accomplished via agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
Arabidopsis was used to find certain allergenic protein sequences common in strawberries, carrots, celery, lettuce, tomatoes, and certain herbs. Harvard worked on a hairpin that would target the knock out the allergenic protein sequence.
Arabidopsis was Harvard's choice of plant for genetic engineering since its genome is well known. Harvard genetically modified Arabidopsis to taste and smell like banana, orange, and mint.
The carotenoid metabolic pathway was targeted to create red and orange petals. Sequences in the metabolism that use these pigments as precursors were knocked down to allow pigment accumulation in the petal.(Part)
As a means of controlling the unwanted spread of seeds, genetically engineered plants were watered with a "genetic fence" containing liquid. If the genetically engineered seeds spread, they would not grow unless watered with "genetic fence" liquid. [1]
A BioBrick compatible strategy for genetic modification of plants. [11][3]
TUM iGEM
TU Munich iGEM team created a unique beer in honor of October Fest. Using a synthetically modified baker's yeast to make beer (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), TUM team were able to create a beer that was more flavorful and healthy. A pTUM 100 vector system created by the TUM iGEM team was used to transform yeast cells. Expression of xanthohumol (cancer preventative), limonene (lime flavor), caffeine, and thaumatin (sweetener) were successful in yeast. [12]

Gmail's Priority Inbox is an superior version of the regular inbox, with customizable sections for power users. For some people, Priority Inbox looked threatening, so that's most likely the reason why Gmail tests a new version of the regular inbox that integrates Priority Inbox and three lightweight versions of the Priority Inbox.
"Try out all the new inbox styles to see what fits you best. You can always switch back if you change your mind," informs a Gmail promotional box. There are five inbox types: classic, important first, unread first, starred first and Priority Inbox. The three new inbox types could easily be obtained by customizing Priority Inbox, but it's much easier to switch flanked by them. It's the first time when Google uses tabs in Gmail interface if you keep out Gmail's settings page.

|USA commitment to quality. RealTruck supply chain does not leave out the manufacturer in the ordering process. I recieved a call from SuperCoils directly to verify my choice of spring. My application is a 2000 Ford E350 with the heavy diesel and assumed I need the heaviest spring available - not so. That high capacity spring is used more for armored cars and other truly heavy apps. If RealTruck had not supplied the manufacturer with my contact information - I would have recieved the wrong spring and no direct support of the product. So RealTruck - thanks for your transparency and the great product. - Eric Lee in Kalamazoo Michigan

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love the underdog story of my home - it is old (built in 1914) and for a long time, very run down. A great pair of house flippers found it in 2007 and made it what it is today. It has been a great pleasure turning this place into my home. And there's no better neighborhood in the Midwest than Covington, Kentucky.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- The hardest thing for me is incorporating new colors or patterns into a room. Since you can see the back of the house and the rooms in between from a single vantage point, anything new (or in my case, it's usually "new-to-me") brought in must jive with the rest of the house. I'm currently trying to make that mint green door work - I'm on the fence!

Township road becomes first victim of Winter 2012
The Barnes County Highway Department closed 28th Street southeast this week as underground springs and unpredictable temperatures have created a thick sheet of wet ice east and uphill from County Road 19.
The glacier in question creeps over a steep section of road and into an unprotected ravine, threatening to take motorists with it. The deep roadside ditch plummets approximately 100 feet down near the John Froelich farm south of Lake Ashtabula.
At this time last year, several roads in the county were closed due to heavy snow. With nearly a complete absence of snow this year, roads have been remarkably clear and in good shape. During his report at the last Barnes County Commission meeting, Highway Superintendent Kerry Johnson joked that the snow removal workers who plow the roads were doing a "heck of a job."

Only a few of the films that grew from the notorious liaison between actress Ingrid Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini were truly worthy of their talents. One such was the Italian-made Europa '51. Playing a character far older than herself, Bergman portrays a society woman whose life is in ruins after her son's suicide. Attempting to give her life some purpose, she takes the advice of a leftist friend, and begins working with the ill and destitute of Rome. Her insensitive husband Alexander Knox finds Bergman's charitable activities distasteful; when the opportunity presents itself, he has her committed to a mental institution. By the time Europa '51 was released in the US in 1954, its title -- and much of its political ideology -- had been outdated. The film was pared from 118 to 110 minutes for US consumption, and retitled The Greatest Love.

U.S. Attorney Michael J. Moore said in a news release Monday that 37-year-old Robert Cedrick Baker III, of Gainesville, Fla., was sentenced to serve six years and three months.
The wide receiver played for Auburn University and was listed on nfl.com as playing for the Miami Dolphins from 1999-2002 and Minnesota Vikings for one season. He was stopped on a Georgia highway for a traffic violation in January 2013.
Investigators say they found 59.5 grams of heroin and a semi-automatic pistol during a search of Baker's car.
Baker pleaded guilty in October after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors. He admitted the drugs were meant for distribution.

From 1969 until 1990, president and military dictator Siad Barre oversaw a campaign of widespread atrocities that decimated Somali civil society. To quash separatist movements in the 1980s, the Somali Armed Forces targeted civilians in the northwest, culminating in the bloody 1988 siege of the regional capital Hargeisa, which claimed 5,000 civilian lives. [1] When Barre's regime finally collapsed in 1991, Somalia was plunged into a chaotic internal conflict from which it has never recovered. Today, Somalia is universally cited as a 'failed state.'
CJA's cases against three former members of Siad Barre's regime—former Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Mohamed Ali Samantar, notorious war criminal Colonel Yusuf Abdi Ali (aka Tukeh), and former Chief of Investigations of the infamous National Security Service Abdi Aden Magan—represent the first international efforts to gain justice for the victims of the Barre regime and to end impunity for those responsible for this dark chapter of Somalia's history.
Context: Understanding Clan Violence
In 1991, Somalia was described by the US Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance as "the worst humanitarian disaster in the world."[2] In 2009, Foreign Policy Magazine called it "the most dangerous place in the world." [3] In the intervening 18 years, the violence in Somalia was portrayed in the Western media as a regression to a primordial, even timeless conflict based on eternal tribal hatreds. In 1992, the New York Times wrote: "Instead of fighting with traditional spears and shields, the clans have more recently conducted their feuds with mortars and machine guns." One UN official even opined: "We could end up with Africa the way it was before the colonialists came, divided up into tribal enclaves." [4] But the history of political violence in Somalia is not given to such oversimplification.
The root causes of the Somali crisis are more modern in origin. They can be traced to at least three 20th century phenomena: colonialism, Cold War international relations, and the Barre dictatorship. The interaction of these modern forces in the post-colonial state ushered in the clan conflict of the 1980s and the chaos of the 1990s and 2000s. Thus, to understand the present crisis we should look to what preceded it.
The Legacy of Colonialism
Ethnic Somalis have lived for centuries throughout the Horn of Africa, practicing nomadic pastoralism in the north and agricultural pastoralism in the south. However, Somalia's political borders were imposed by European colonial powers who partitioned ethnic Somali enclaves into parts of modern day Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti. [5] Parts of the north were administered as British Somaliland, while much of the south became Italian Somalia. When these two former colonies merged to form the independent United Republic of Somalia in 1960, the contrasting colonial, political and economic traditions became a source of divisive tension in the fledgling republic. [6]

The Barre Dictatorship Begins: 1969-1975
Somalia's 9-year experiment in post-colonial democracy ended in October 1969, when Major General Siad Barre seized power in a bloodless coup. Barre formed the Supreme Revolutionary Council (SRC) and declared an end to "tribalism, nepotism, corruption, and misrule." The SRC aligned itself with the Soviet Union and denounced the United States' African policy as imperialist. [7]
At the same time, Barre set out to radically transform Somali society through "scientific socialism," an ideology that fused Marxism with Quranic interpretation. Publicly, Barre claimed to stamp out the clan system. Yet in practice, the regime ultimately did the opposite. Barre elevated members of his family's clans to the regime's inner circle, a practice that earned his government the code-name M.O.D.—an acronym of the Mareehaan, Ogaden and Dulbahante clans. [7] In the 1970s, Barre formed a new intelligence agency comprised of members of his clan called the National Security Service (NSS). Ostensibly responsible for intelligence and internal security, including monitoring security "offenses," the NSS became known as the "Black SS": a secret police force that used torture and arbitrary detention to suppress dissidents and curtail civil liberties.
Turning Point: The Ogaden War with Ethiopia: 1977-1978
Conquering the ethnic Somali regions of Ethiopia had long been one of Barre's policies. The moment seemed ripe with the fall of Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Sellasie in 1974. Three years later, the Somali National Army invaded and attempted to annex the Somali enclave in the Ogaden region. This proved to be a fatal miscalculation. The Soviet Union and Cuba backed the new Marxist government of Ethiopia and withdrew support from Barre. Soviet aid, once the life-blood of the regime, was cut off.
When refugees soon flowed from the Ogaden war and from drought-stricken regions in the Horn, the regime systematically resettled them in camps and settlements in the northwest region and supplied them with weapons to help suppress the Isaaq and seize their economic assets.
Uprising in the Northwest: 1978-1982
In 1978, military officers from the Majeerteen clan launched a coup attempt. The Red Berets, military special forces, responded by destroying water reservoirs in Majeerteen areas. As a result, an estimated 2,000 Majeerteen died of thirst. Paramilitaries also waged a campaign of sexual violence against Majeerteen women. [4]
The rebellion spread. In 1979, a group of Isaaq expatriates formed the Somali National Movement (SNM), with the goal of overthrowing Barre. By 1982, the SNM were ready to launch an invasion of northern Somalia from their base in Ethiopia. [6]
Although the withdrawal of Soviet aid dealt a blow to Barre's military strength, a new foreign partner soon stepped into the breach. With the 1979 Iranian revolution, the United States lost a key ally in the Middle East. The proximity of the Horn of Africa to Gulf oil shipping routes gave Somalia a new strategic importance. In order to maintain military bases there, the U.S. government gave Barre's regime $163.5 million in military technology, and four times as much in economic aid from 1980-1988. With U.S. support, Barre's army swelled to number some 120,000 troops. [6] [9] This formidable war machine would be turned against its own civilians.
Widespread Atrocities: 1978-1991
Throughout the early 1980s, the Barre regime used increasingly repressive tactics to suppress dissidents from all clans, with particular brutality in the northwest. The Isaaq-majority SNM led a low-intensity guerilla war against the government throughout this period. Though the SNM also committed human rights violations, the overwhelming number of atrocities were committed by Somali government soldiers.[1]
By 1983, as many as 1.3 million refugees had arrived in Somalia. [8] The military defeat against Ethiopia and the refugee crisis strained the Somali economy, particularly in the northern areas dominated by the Isaaq clan, where Barre favored Ogaden refugees over the Isaaq in regional government posts.
By 1987, a segment of the Ogaden clan broke from the government to launch its own opposition group, the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), and leaders of the Hawiye clan formed the Somali National Alliance (SNA). The regime had lost control of most of the country.
After the Ethiopia-Somalia peace agreement in May 1988, the SNM, fearing the collapse of its long insurgency, attacked the major northern towns of Hargeisa and Burao. In what Human Rights Watch characterized as "savage counterinsurgency tactics," the regime responded with the aerial bombing and strafing of northern towns and villages, including the pursuit and slaughter of civilians fleeing on foot. The assault focused on Hargeisa—the second-largest city in Somalia—where bombing sorties flown by Somali pilots and by South African and ex-Rhodesian mercenaries destroyed an estimated 70% of the city. The attack struck residential neighborhoods the hardest and leveled most of the city; over 5,000 civilians were killed. Nearly half a million Somalis fled to Ethiopia, where they remained for years in refugee camps. At least another half million internally displaced persons streamed to other regions within Somalia. [1] [6] [10]
The Collapse of the Somali State: 1991-2012
In 1989, a group of Somali exiles from the Hawiye clan formed the United Somali Congress (USC) in Rome. Fatefully, Barre responded by ordering the Red Berets to carry out a renewed wave of violence against the Hawiye and Isaaq populations. USC militias eventually struck back, and, on January 27, 1991, drove Barre out of Mogadishu. At the same time, the SNM seized power in the northwest and declared independence as the Republic of Somaliland. Barre fled the country and, four years later, died a natural death in exile. [7]
Meanwhile, Mogadishu was plunged into chaos as rival militia leaders battled for control of the city. The conflagration spread across Somalia, sparking a dire food crisis and eventually an ill-fated international humanitarian intervention. More than twenty years later, Mogadishu remains a lawless zone with no effective government. In 2006, an Islamist insurgency threatened to topple the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). In response, Ethiopia staged a large-scale military intervention. Although many have accused the Islamist insurgency, the TFG, and Ethiopia's counterinsurgency of carrying out widespread human rights abuses against civilians, evidence of the full scale and scope of these violations has been slow to emerge.
By 2009, some 3.2 million Somalis were dependent on humanitarian assistance for their survival. [11] At the same time, piracy along Somalia's coasts became source of international tension, capturing the media's attention and even obscuring the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.
By 2011, the TFG was still confined to only a part of Mogadishu. Weak and worn out by political squabbles, it remained dependent on troops of the African Union (AU) mission (AMISOM) for its very existence. Regions to the north still refused to recognize its legitimacy, and much of southern and central Somalia was controlled by the Islamist insurgency known as Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group bent on imposing its extreme version of Islam on the entire country, if not the entire region. [13] [14] [15] By 2010, about 1.5 million people had been internally displaced within Somalia, and more than half a million Somali refugees had sought shelter in neighboring countries. [15] [16] Adding to the crisis, Somalia was struck by famine in 2011 and early 2012. At its height, the famine raised the number of people entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance in Somalia to 4 million. [17]
One oasis in Somalia's devastated social landscape is the self-proclaimed republic of Somaliland. Built on the ashes of Hargeisa and the devastated northwest region, Somaliland—while still unrecognized by the international community—has undertaken a transitional justice effort to re-establish the rule of law and effective governance. While the Somaliland experiment in democracy remains fragile, it offers a glimmer of hope in a region that has not seen peace in three decades. [12]
