Nice pictures. Folks are having a good time specially the Norwegians.

This Axmed Max’ed Iimaan guy is a rising star. He seems the only guy focusing on "wax-qabad" and helping the nation's ecomomy. Others are busy plotting to kill.

This is a nice political talk designed to appeal to the "moderates" within the defeated ICU. The US and Ethiopia are doing very well as far as their Somalia plan is concerned. Couldn't have asked for a better result.

Young Talent. Glorious

MANCHESTER UNITED have finally completed the signing of England midfielder Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich. The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract at Old Trafford after a lengthy chase. Hargreaves said: "It’s been a long time coming. "It was probably the worst-kept secret in football, but it’s great to be here." Hargreaves joined Bayern from the Calgary Foothills in 1997 and won four Bundesliga titles with Bayern as well as the 2001 Champions League. Hargreaves was a surprise star of England’s largely disappointing 2006 World Cup and United tracked his progress closely from that point. Bayern had insisted the player was not for sale, before finally giving in for a reported £17million fee.

CHICAGO, June 28, 2007 (AFP) - The scientists engineered an enzyme which attacks the DNA of the HIV virus and cuts it out of the infected cell, according to the study published in Science magazine. The enzyme is still far from being ready to use as a treatment, the authors warned, but it offers a glimmer of hope for the more than 40 million people infected worldwide. "A customized enzyme that effectively excises integrated HIV-1 from infected cells in vitro might one day help to eradicate (the) virus from AIDS patients," Alan Engelman, of Harvard University's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, wrote in an article accompanying the study. Current treatments focus on suppressing the HIV virus in order to delay the onset of AIDS and dramatically extend the life of infected patients. What makes HIV so deadly, however, is its ability to insert itself into the body's cells and force those cells to produce new infection. "Consequently the virus becomes inextricably linked to the host, making it virtually impossible to 'cure' AIDS patients of their HIV-1 infection," Engelman explained. That could change if the enzyme developed by a group of German scientists can be made safe to use on people. That enzyme was able to eliminate the HIV virus from infected human cells in about three months in the laboratory. The researchers engineered an enzyme called Tre which removes the virus from the genome of infected cells by recognizing and then recombining the structure of the virus's DNA. This ability to recognize HIV's DNA might one day help overcome one of the biggest obstacles to finding a cure: the ability of the HIV virus to avoid detection by reverting to a resting state within infected cells which then cease to produce the virus for months or even years. "Numerous attempts have been made to activate these cells, with the hope that such strategies would sensitize the accompanying viruses to antiviral drugs, leading to virus eradication," Engelman wrote. "Advances with such approaches in patients have been slow to materialize." New experiments must be designed to see if the Tre enzyme can be used to recognize these dormant infected cells, he wrote. "Although favorable results would represent perhaps only a baby step toward eventual use in patients, the discovery of the Tre recombinase proves that enzymatic removal of integrated HIV-1 from human chromosomes is a current-day reality," he said. The researchers who developed the enzyme were optimistic about their ability to design additional enzymes which would target other parts of the virus's DNA. However they warned that there were significant barriers to overcome before the enzyme could be used to help cure patients. "The most important, and likely most difficult, among these is that the enzyme would need efficient and safe means of delivery and would have to be able to function without adverse side effects," wrote lead author Indrani Sarkar of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden. "Nevertheless the results we present offer an early proof of principal for this type of approach, which we speculate might form a useful basis for the development of future HIV therapies," Sarkar concluded. http://www.france24.com/france24Public/en/news/science/20070629-HIV-infesction-AIDS-potential-cure-german-scientists.html

Locusts wreck orchards in Somalia BBC NEWS Huge swarms of locusts have hit large areas of northern Somalia, devouring vegetation and adding to the country's problems of war and devastation. The province of Puntland has been worst affected, with livelihoods ruined as the insects stripped bare mango, orange and pawpaw farms. Markets have been affected with some prices doubling in the last few days. Residents in the northern port of Bosasso said swarms were so dense they blotted out the light from the sun. This is the latest blow to Somalia, which has suffered from internal conflict, and in the south of the country, drought and flooding. The locusts have stripped hundreds of square kilometres of foliage in Puntland, the BBC's Adam Mynott says. 'No more fruit' One witness reporting seeing thousands of branchless trees in Karin village. "I have lost fruits worth $7,000," farmer Said Abdullahi, 58, told Reuters news agency. We even tried to hit them with metallic plates in vain. They ate every green tree in sight Amal Abdullahi, farmer "I had just started harvesting when the locusts struck three days ago. I don't know what to do." Puntland's minister of livestock and agriculture, Ali Jama Farah, said the authorities "have no capacity to stop them". "We are still looking for a chemical that can kill the locusts," he said. In Bosasso the effects are already being felt, with the prices of some fruit and vegetables more than doubling. "We no longer receive fruits and spices from our suppliers," trader Sahra Abdi told the agency. "A pawpaw is going at 26,000 Somali shillings ($1.50) from 12,000 three days ago. I think very soon Bosasso will have to do without fruit altogether." Another farmer, Amal Abdullahi, explained how she tried to fight the pests. "We even tried to hit them with metallic plates in vain. They ate every green tree in sight," she said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6246910.stm

The man is a failure. His "masters" are trying to rehabilitate him. It won't work!

HornAfrique = N/AA = No Aspersion Anymore But I warn you N/AA = Never Assume Absence This is a clear warning to other "villains" out there not to get carried away with lies about his clan because he will be back. N/AA will be back to tell the truth. Islam is all about the truth. What is his advice to his SOL foes when it comes to his clan and Kismayo? N/AA = No Attacks Adeer

This is weird.

Gacan ka xaqdaran ayaa dishay Ilaahayna wuu u jeedaa. May Allah give them mercy. Qaraabadoodiina samir iyo iimaan.

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto. Somalis don't know anything about being "gracious winners". Sad culture indeed.

Which one is it? Make up your mind Tolkaman. Every "Tolka" is blaming Yeey and his TFG stooges for not helping "qabiilka madaxweynaha" in this war. loool. Why? The absurdity never ends in these circles.
