Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

David Letterman Won't Let Up on Jay Leno
David Letterman has a message for television viewers around the world:
Do NOT blame Conan O'Brien for the late-night mess at NBC!
David Letterman has a message for television viewers around the world:
Do NOT blame Conan O'Brien for the late-night mess at NBC!
David Letterman can really appreciate the joys of Jay Leno bashing because just a few months ago, he was the late night host in the media crosshairs.
After allegedly being blackmailed over an affair with staffer Stephanie Birkitt, Dave was forced to admit he had cheated on his wife Regina - on the air.
It's clear who the loser is in the recent NBC late-night shake-up: Conan O'Brien.
But it's also apparent who the winner has become in this mess of a situation: David Letterman.
Like our Tila Tequila Twitter Tracker, we may soon need to make a rundown of late-night jabs and one-liners into a daily segment.
In the wake of the NBC programming debacle, David Letterman and company continue to chime in on Jay Leno's eventual takeover of the 11:35 p.m. time slot.
Robert Halderman, the alleged "mastermind" of a $2 million extortion plot against David Letterman, is just throwing everything at the legal wall at this point.
The CBS News producer is using the Tiger Woods scandal as a precedent to fight the charges against him, which could land him in jail for years if convicted.
The guy accused of trying to blackmail David Letterman has offered to plead guilty in exchange for a one-year prison term, according to the New York Post.
Robert Halderman's lawyer, Gerald Shargel, denied knowing anything about an offer, saying: "There have been no plea negotiations. None whatsoever."
In 2008, celebrity gossip websites where perplexed by the unexplained disappearance of Sex and the City: The Movie star Sarah Jessica Parker's trademark mole.
The general consensus? Confusion. Why would she remove it now?
Before Tiger Woods took his crown, David Letterman was the king of extramarital sex scandals this year. The Late Show host's involved an extortion plot.
Prosecutors in the case released transcripts of conversations clandestinely recorded of Robert "Joe" Halderman, who allegedly blackmailed Letterman.

Did you ever take a trip to a traditional spring break venue, such as Florida or Mexico, while in college?
I went to Cancun for my senior trip when I was in High school. I was only 17 (female) and looking back now, I can't believe my parents allowed it. I guess they discussed it for awhile before agreeing to let me go and granted, there were about 40 of us from my graduating class who went.
Still, there were a couple of nights where we would go out in smaller groups and lots of drinking and bar hopping was involved. Not very smart on our parts but we were young and out for the first time without our parents and in a foreign country; pretty much went wild.
Even though I had a blast at the time, I would not go back today to do over and I would not let my child visit a foreign country while underage or without a responsible adult.

Tasker Mocked on SNL: Rob Sez "Not A Bad Thing"
by Rob Lucas
posted Feb 12 2013 8:12AM
In case you missed this weekend's SNL, one of the best skits was their mocking of CBS's handling of the Super Bowl black out. A good portion of it focused on our own Steve Taskers role. In truth, Tasker was the BEST of the coverage, sounding the most coherent and having the best ability to relay what was happening. But that didn't stop SNL from poking fun. We truly hope Steve didn't get upset over this, and took it as it was intended, as was suggested by Alan Pergament's

I know I'm coming late to this discussion because on Sunday I like to binge watch all the newest week's episodes of shows I want to see.
One thing stuck out to me seeing WATAMOTE. spoiler[For some reason I found it really touching when Tomoko bought the candy bar for her brother. I think it is because it was the one time in the whole episode she thought of someone other than herself.] It made me think that beneath all her awkwardness and paranoia, deep down she is a kind person.

But yeah, don't play the original. There is, however, a remake of it being worked on for the Vita, which should be vastly better whenever it comes out.[/quote]Is that why it went OOP so damn fast? I thought it seemed strange I was having to go used for something that was published here in 2011(I have an obsession/fetish/semicompulsion for starting franchises from the beginning, so I simply went for the first).

Okay, so the guide is done and the marquee more or less removes the oldest article but isn't it a disservice to remove it from the front page? It's Just the biggest event of the quarter, I'd think you'd want to showcase it a bit longer, instead of redundant anime spotlights which are featured in the catch-all Anime Spotlight list.
maybe not for three months like the Spring one hung around for.... but at least a couple more weeks.

I know that ninety-eight percent of people have already checked out all the shows they want. But if you want to quickly find out what the previewers gave a show, here is a handy spreadsheet:
Shows are listed in order of how many previewers covered them, then by average rating.
And yes, I did add my own scores, however they do not count towards the averages of the series. I was more pessimistic than I thought I was.

That is handy. With the exception of Dog and Scissors and what I haven't seen, I'd rate all the three-or-above shows above all the below-three ones.

|I disagreed with the average ratings quite a bit. I thought Watamote, Sunday Without God and Fate/Kaleid were all substantially better than their average ratings suggested, and that Blood Lad, Gatchaman Crowds, Fantasista Doll and Going Home Club were all substantially worse than the average ratings suggested. That's a lot of strong disagreement.

Usually there's at least one or two shows per season that score pretty highly across the board, but not so much this time, eh..? I also usually only pick up around 4 or 5 new shows to actively follow each season, but so far the only probable one is Monogatari, with Watamote, Silver Spoon, and Fate/Kaleid sitting in my maybe pile - the last of which only because of my appreciation of the Fate franchise as a whole, but I could see myself dropping it.
It'll be interesting to see how some of these get ranked in The Stream.

There are actually a fair bit amount of shows I'm keeping up with this season, and this time I'm hoping to be able to keep up with it week to week.
Free! has cracked me up every episode. I'm looking forward to see where this show will go with the insanity. So far it's become one of my favorite KyoAni productions.
Silver Spoon also looks like it will be a lot of fun. I like the relaxed farm setting, and the humor kept me laughing quite a bit. (Though the egg joke went on for a bit too long.) Some of the other stuff I've heard this show will probably do is definitely keeping me interested. Arakawa hasn't disappointed me yet.
The Eccentric Family is probably going to be my favorite show of the season. It kind of reminds me of a Japanese Meet The Robinsons with a touch of the calmness about otherworldliness that I appreciated when watching Shingu. The combination of crazy characters + dramatic settings + mysteries presented so far has gotten me hooked. I was also a pretty big fan of The Tatami Galaxy, so I have a feeling this show will continue to be a blast to watch.
Watamote I'm still kinda up in the air about. I like the animation, and her interactions with the characters she is close to looks very interesting, however, I also get a horrible case of second hand embarrassment when it comes to shows like these (for example, when I saw her bringing back the duck face at the WacDonald's, I had to pause and walk away for a minute to prepare myself for what was going to happen when she walked out of that bathroom). Whether or not I stick with this show will depend on how much I can deal with her failed attempts at fitting in.
Servant x Service had me sold by the second episode. I'm a big fan of The Devil is a Part Timer and Working!, so I was hoping this show would be in a similar hilarious setting, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The introduction episode was kinda boring for a bit, but by episode 2 the gags had me chuckling, and the moment Taishi said "the nuisance is coming" was the moment the show completely had me sold.
Day Break Illusion I may or may not watch. The concept is cool, and I like the dark undertones. The fact that it reminds me of Madoka doesn't really bother me. Unless it gets SO overdramatic that I start rolling my eyes, or if the story doesn't feel like it'll go anywhere, I'll probably keep watching.
Kin-iro Mosaic WAS JUST ABOUT THE CUTEST DAMN FIRST EPISODE I'VE EVER SEEN!! The attempts at understanding Engrish and Japanese was so damn cute, the kids were so damn cute... I just wanted to hug everyone and never have the episode end!! Episode 2 felt a little more standard slice-of-life moé show, but it was still adorable enough that I'll probably keep watching. I kinda wish the whole show was just like the first episode. I was actually a little disappointed when Alice showed up spoiler[in thier highschool, fluent in Japanese.]..
Danganronpa has so many outrageously crazy characters for such a dark setting. I am absolutely in love with that show from the first episode. I nearly died from laughter when I realized the Fist of the North Star looking dude was actually a highschool girl. If the show continues to be this insane with the characters while trying to keep the plot as dark as it is, I will totally keep watching.
Hyperdmension Neptunia was... really boring. Also, Neptunia pissed me off. She was so freaking annoying... I don't get why she's the main character. If you're going to have a main character be that willingly airheaded and lazy, then aim for a Hetalia styled show- 5 minutes at a time, and don't have all the focus on that character. She'd probably be easier to like if she wasn't IN MY FACE THE WHOLE 25 MINUTES. I plan on seeing another episode or so just in case an actual plot shows up, but if nothing actually happens I intend to drop this.
Finally, The World God Only Knows is something I intend to keep watching. The first episode kinda turned me off with all the exposition they had to do to fast forward to this arc. A friend of mine showed me a couple of OVAs featuring the character Tenri that made a much better introduction to the Goddess arc and allowed the first episode to breathe easier with me. I do recommend checking them out if the first episodes' rushed feeling turned you off. This one looks like it'll be a good season.
And, along with all those, I intend to continue keeping up with Senyuu and Attack on Titan. I also have 40 more episodes of Hunter x Hunter to catch up with, and then I want to keep up with that show weekly. I have a lot to watch at the moment, which makes me pretty happy. ^___^

Lego 8653 Enzo Ferrari 1:10 set
Detailed, plenty of build required
Some of the build is very repetitive, its just a red and black car at the end of it
So you're looking for a challenge are you? Well you might just have come to the right place when it comes to the Enzo Ferrari 1:10 scale Lego set.
The authentic, detailed replica of the famous red sports car is the latest branded merchandise to come out of the Ferrari Lego deal, and although it seems Ferrari's name is everywhere these days, the building of a working sports car works well for Lego.
Over 1300 pieces, 76 different sets of instructions and five hours later and you can expect to have yourself your very own 18in long, 9in wide Ferrari Enzo complete with the V12 engine with moving parts, opening doors and workable rack and pinion steering to drive around the living room, albeit one made from Lego.
There is no doubt about it, it's a mammoth build and anyone hoping to buy this as an excuse to get some buddy time with their kids will be pleased to note that it will last a good couple of evenings.
It took us just under 5 hours to build the set without distraction or interruption. Because of the sheer amount of pieces involved, Lego has broken down the collection into nine bags, and the instruction booklet sets out which bags you will need to build the task ahead.
In the bags is everything you need and this certainly saves having to sift through a mountain of Lego for half an hour to find that all important piece.
The majority of the Lego is Technic-based and if you are planning on building it with children you should bear this in mind.
The thick instruction manual is very straightforward and offers you 1:1 scale diagrams of some of the pieces so you can measure against it rather than having to count (great for when the piece involved is 15 holes long). It would have been nice if the manual had been in spilt into several sections so two people could work on different parts of the car at the same time. As it was we had to either share the page (virtually impossible) or tear the pages out of the next section.
Some die-hard fans might complain of a lack of transmission or that the car could have included more features. But for us the balance seems just right.
The gull-wing doors, moving pistons in the engine, rod steering and lifting rear engine bonnet give plenty of interaction while still making this a car worthy of sitting on your office or bedroom shelf.
Lego have told us this is their father and son-sharing product and we can see why.
Get ready to do some bonding.

That 12.5" Lenovo IdeaPad ultraportable we talked about last week is indeed on its way. Engadget has published the official announcement—seemingly ahead of its appearance on the Lenovo website—and it looks like the system will become available tomorrow starting at $899.
The announcement confirms the 12.5" screen size, adding that the IdeaPad U260 will in fact be the first notebook with such a display. Talk of a "magnesium-aluminum alloy real metal cover, leather-patterned palm rest and glass touchpad," also explains the machine's relatively high asking price. The internals otherwise sound disproportionately tame: Core i5 processor, up to 4GB of RAM, and 320GB of mechanical storage.
If I didn't know any better, I would think Lenovo is going up against the new MacBook Airs with this system. Why else play up its thickness ("just over a half-inch"), weight (less than three pounds), and luxurious extras, then announce a starting price just shy of the 11.6" Air's $999? Lenovo isn't trying to give consumer ultraportables a run of their money, that's for sure. As I noted last week, similarly compact, Nehalem-powered CULV laptops can be had for $550 or less.

Like her or not, one thing no one can take away from Honourable Uche Ekwunife is her ability to whether the odds. In 2011, the stylish woman was involved in a horrific episode, which had her denying that she was one of the people in an alleged sex tape.
Also in 2011, the Enugu Court of Appeal removed her and ordered fresh elections, which she won, showing for a second time that she was the candidate to beat. However, the woman representing Aniocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia Federal Constituency did not miss her steps during her travails.
Last year, she led her colleagues from Anambra State in a solemn procession in respect for the late Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu in the green chambers.
The procession, which was joined by a number of other legislators from the South East, earned the mourners a standing ovation. The fact that Ekwunife was appointed spokesperson of the group did not go unnoticed by observers who have hailed her ability to stay relevant in the scheme of things.
The latest effort that has made the lawmaker a topic in the corridors of power is the fact that she has emerged a front-runner in the Anambra gubernatorial race. The vivacious politician has continued to tell her supporters and naysayers alike that she is in the race for real.

Plan to purchase our Swiss Pass upon arrival in Zurich. . Planning point-to-point ticket Zurich-Lucerne, then activating Pass upon leaving Lucerne-Interlaken. Believe I read somewhere sometime that the Pass would be accepted prior to validation for local transportation such as trams, buses, boats (as we would expect to use in Lucerne). Was I dreaming or is Pass accepted for free local transport without validation stamp? Thanks so much.

Question re using Swiss Pass before validation
Report Abuse
Dreaming though a pass could be glanced at and allowed to proceed, especially on urban transports that are largely on the honor system with spot checks.
Pass is not valid until validated, of course.
But scour these sites that are superb on covering Swiss trains, passes, etc for clues www.swisstravelsystem.com; http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/id3.html; www.ricksteves.com.
If it's a flexipass then you have to use the first day of 100% coverage in order to realize the 50% off - no benefits until activated but like I said IME I just flash a pass at conductors who do a perfunctory glance at it - but on trams, etc with the honor system if caught you face steep fines.
Report Abuse
Thanks PalenQ, no we're not doing Flexi, but perhaps the local transportation is not counted as full day usage on it. Would never dream of being dishonorable with this! I'll keep hunting..
Report Abuse
I'm no expert, but I can say that my Swiss Pass was scrutinized before I was allowed onto any number of trams, busses, and boats.

not useable until validated. (.)

Swiss railways are NOT profitable. They get billions of subsidies every year.

Checked costs of few museums: Transport in Lucerne, Klee in Bern-- the difference of admissions not covered with our 8-day makes it a 'bargain' to purchase the 15-day and have admissions covered, so that's what we're doing. If the weather is glorious, might not get to them, but admissions (as we also thought throughout Spain) are steep so worth it in the Pass price difference.

The grounds are lovely, the pool looks fabulous, just haven't used it yet. Food is really good even taking into account the difficulties the remote location must cause them. So far service is good. Clean as you can get in the jungle. Not sure about the price because it is included in the tour we are doing.

... tour to watch the laying of the eggs. The island is part of a national park and there are very strict rules about who is allowed to lead guides and each day they get allocated a slot for their group. Fortunately I got the earliest one of 8 - 10pm, as I do like my sleep. I was in a group with a French family of 3. Wearing my requested dark clothes we walked through the dark forest trying to avoid the muddiest part of the path and therefore brushing up against the bushes. I do ...

On their first indie album in more than 20 years, funk metal's chillest bros are less concerned with elbowing for radio play – they've ditched producer Bob Rock after two albums – and are more content to settle into a heavier, self-sustaining life as a reggae version of alt-metal mainstays Helmet. Fighting the push-pull of negative-vibe merchants ("They wanna play my emotions/But I'm like the ocean"), the LP bursts with joyous choruses and taut grooves imported directly from the band's Nineties years – not to mention Sublime's and Faith No More's. There are a few surprises, like when the sappy "Friday Afternoon" busts a left into Black Sabbath, but for the most part it's formulaic all the way.

Dbf File Viewer - Export dbf, import dbf database, convert dbf files! Reading Visual Foxpro Files
DESCRIPTION Reading Visual Foxpro FilesDBFView is a terse but efficacious tool for editing, viewing, printing DBF-format databases - screen shot.
It supports FoxPro, dBase, Clipper, Visual FoxPro and other DBF formats. In contrast to many analogues, DBFView is completely a Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista software. The user friendly graphic makes using databases facile and hassle free.
Most important parts of DBFView code are written in Assembler, therefore the basic operations performs quick and the .exe file is very small (only 410Kb! ).
DBFView uses its own database access software and does not require external drivers for connection to databases (such as ODBC or BDE) or additional libraries (.OCX,.DLL).
The program allows you to add, view and edit files in DOS or Windows character sets, search in a file, export dbf to txt/html format, recall, zap, convert csv and xls / xlsx to dbf format, sort, import/export from MS Excel (including MS Excel 2007! ), pack records, get detailed database information, delete. DBFView comes with Installer/Uninstaller, documentation in HTML format, and sample files.
Lisa C. Stopp - Finance Administrator
We were interested because our users needed something quick to view dbf files and we did not want to use FoxPro. We had another product that works on Windows 95 and NT but would not work on Windows 98. We tried using Excel but it would only read up to 65, 536 records and some of the files they look at are larger than that. I had looked at another dbfviewer but it did not have all the functionality that yours has.
Ulrich Pfleghard - Software Manager
We use Access 2000, and the export data from access to dBase destructs actually all file structures (thank you, guys from MS! ) of the DBase files in a manner that dBase doesn't recognize them as dBase files... I have to support an old Clipper/dBase based program. I was looking for a documentation program for dBase because we still use a Clipper compiled product that uses dBase files. Then I found Your product and thought i could see the structures of the files: I can! Excelent! I also can see the contents of the files even if the Access derived files have a mistake in the second byte (at least) of the exported files. And I can modify the contents of the fields. Even better!
Edit Dbf Files
Click this button to toggle Edit mode on or off. The data in the data table is read-only until Edit mode is toggled on. 'EDIT' will appear in the status bar to indicate that you are in Edit mode.
DBF File Reader Options Dialog
Displays the DBF Reader Options dialog.
GeneralEdit mode - Sets Edit mode default.
ANSI (Windows) character set - Sets Windows character set default.
Save size and position - With this option, when DBFView is closed, the position and size of main window will be saved.
Directory - Sets the default file locations.
Tab/Enter movement - Sets the movement direction after the Tab or Enter key pressing.
How to Open DBF File
Displays the Open dialog so you can open an existing dbf file. The "Open" button on the toolbar also has a small arrow at the right. It opens list of recent dbf files.

There are rabbinic voices who have sent the message that the messiah may choose to appear by stepping over the body of a murdered child.19:07 03.08.15 | 1 comments
'honest' observer, if the 'occupation' is the source of the terror, please ask yourself but one simple question: why has NOT ONE palestinian suicide bomber been a palestininan Christian? are palestininian Christians not as 'occupied' as the muslim ones? Terror against Israelis is not because of 'occupation'. It is due to hatred, incitement and the hatred of Jews. And nothing else. You have Arafat to thank for that: his legacy is that of generations upon generations of hate. Something even an 'honest' observer can figure out if he just opens his racist eyes.

Nikolas Kozloff, journalist and author of Revolution!: South America and the Rise of the New Left.
"When the Honduran military overthrew the democratically elected government of Manuel Zelaya two weeks ago there might have been a sigh of relief in the corporate board rooms of Chiquita banana," writes journalist Nikolas Kozloff. "Earlier this year the Cincinnati-based fruit company joined Dole in criticizing the government in Tegucigalpa which had raised the minimum wage by 60%." Kozloff goes on to trace Chiquita's "long and sordid" political history in Central America. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Nikolas Kozloff, you've been following the coup very closely right now. Talk about the latest developments and who you feel is behind it. And what exactly is the US role here? If the US cut off aid, economic and military aid, do you feel that would end the coup?
NIKOLAS KOZLOFF: I don't think so. I think there's this revolving door of Washington insiders that are supporting companies like Chiquita banana. I just wrote an article about Chiquita, formerly known as the United Fruit Company. And, you know, throughout history, Chiquita banana has had enormous sway and power over Central American nations.
And we know that prior to the coup d'état in Honduras, Chiquita was very unhappy about President Zelaya's minimum wage decrees, because they said that this would cut into their profits and make it more expensive for them to export bananas and pineapple. And we know that they appealed to the Honduran Business Association, which was also opposed to Zelaya's minimum wage provisions.
And we also — and what I find really interesting is that Chiquita is allied to a Washington law firm called Covington, which advises multinational corporations. And who is the vice chairman of Covington? None other than John Negroponte, who your previous guest mentioned in regards to the rampant human rights abuses that went on in Honduras throughout the 1980s. So I think that's a really interesting connection.
AMY GOODMAN: You talk about the money and the support, Chiquita, then and now. It's interesting, this is so reminiscent of the coup against the Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. He wasn't in office but a year, 1990, 1991, when he was ousted, and one of his first acts when he became president was to increase the minimum wage, as Zelaya has done.
NIKOLAS KOZLOFF: Well, right, and this is nothing new, as I point out in a recent article. Throughout the twentieth century, Chiquita, formerly known as United Fruit, was associated with some of the most backward, retrograde political and economic forces in Central America and indeed outside of Central America in such countries as Colombia. And we know that United Fruit Company played a very prominent role in the coup d'état against democratically elected President Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954. And, you know, after that, that ushered in a very turbulent period in Guatemalan history, rampant human rights abuses, genocide against the indigenous people of Guatemala. And so, Guatemala is only now recovering from that.
But, you know, Chiquita has played a role in such countries as Guatemala and also Colombia, and now it maintains these ties to Covington, this law firm in Washington, to this day. And there is this revolving door, as I say before, of these Washington insiders. Covington, in turn, is tied to McLarty and Kissinger Associates, McLarty being President Clinton's former Chief of Staff and envoy to Latin America, who was pushing the free trade agenda in Latin America, and Kissinger, who doesn't even need an introduction. His ties to the coup in Chile in 1973 are well known. And so, it's disturbing that there is this history of abuses in Central America throughout the twentieth century with Chiquita and the fruit companies, which continues to this day.
AMY GOODMAN: And then you have — well, we played Lanny Davis's testimony before Congress, Lanny Davis, who we were speaking to Ken Silverstein about last week, the superb investigative reporter, about his representing the Chamber of Commerce, which is very much on the side of the coup regime right now. Lanny Davis is the former White House counsel for President Clinton.
NIKOLAS KOZLOFF: Right, and there's these — there's the circle of Clintonites that are still around. And as I mentioned before, you have Mack McLarty, who's now associated with a law firm which is defending Chiquita. Also, as I point out in my recent article, you have the current Attorney General, Eric Holder, who was also Deputy Attorney General under Clinton, who defended Chiquita and its actions in Colombia, when Chiquita was allied to right-wing paramilitary death squads in the 1990s, was found guilty of paying off paramilitaries. And Eric Holder, the current Attorney General, who was also in the Clinton administration, was the lead counsel for Chiquita.
AMY GOODMAN: And explain the significance of what he was representing Chiquita around. I mean, we know the story of the Cincinnati Enquirer that did this remarkable exposé of Chiquita, which they were forced to apologize for, not because they were wrong, but because the reporter had gotten access to voicemail system within Chiquita, and they said that it was illegal how he had gained access to that voicemail system. But what he exposed was quite astounding.
NIKOLAS KOZLOFF: Right. Well, Chiquita claimed that it was merely paying protection money to the paramilitaries in Colombia. But the victims of the paramilitary violence in Colombia claim otherwise. They say that Chiquita was engaged in this systematic campaign to control banana production in Colombia and terrorize the population. And Chiquita was the only company in US history to be found guilty of paying bribes to a terrorist organization, as defined by the United States.
Eric Holder was the lead counsel defending Chiquita. He's the top justice official in the United States with ties to this fruit company that was complicit in right-wing paramilitary violence.
AMY GOODMAN: So, the latest right now — the developments of the EU dropping support for Honduras, the talks with Oscar Arias breaking down. Though the elected president, Zelaya, has fully accepted what he proposed, the coup regime has said no. What's going to happen? Oscar Arias said there could be a civil war, the President of Costa Rica and the Nobel Prize winner.
NIKOLAS KOZLOFF: Well, I don't really — I don't see how this is going to be resolved, because he's already tried to come back militarily — I mean, not militarily, but force his way back into the country.
And I think that the problem is that, you know, up until recently, Honduras was a very — had very traditional right-wing politics, was one of the most reliable countries, most compliant regimes in Central America towards the United States. And now you see the resurgence of these right-wing forces. And so, there is this vibrant — these vibrant social movements in Honduras — for example, the Garifuna people, the Afro-Honduran, the indigenous people, and labor. But I think perhaps this could be the resurgence of these right-wing forces that really haven't gone away, that it seemed for a while that we had the pink tide from South America, the rise of the left spreading into Central America. This could be, perhaps, a disturbing sign that those old retrograde forces are now trying to prove that they can stage a comeback. And I think that's disturbing for other countries that are, say, allied to Venezuela, you know, such as small nations in the Caribbean, and this could be a very disturbing message to other countries that are following and trying to cultivate ties to Venezuela.
AMY GOODMAN: Nikolas Kozloff, I want to thank you for being with us, author of the book Revolution!: South America and the Rise of the New Left. His latest piece, "From Arbenz to Zelaya: Chiquita in Latin America."
