Latin America: higher rates of youth homicide |  |
| RITLA na Mídia - Interviews | |
| Friday, 05 December 2008 | |
| Published: 12.04.2008 Radio Nederland The probability of a young Latin American between 15 and 24 years die a victim of homicide is 30 times higher than the European one and 70 times higher than in countries like Greece, Hungary, England, Austria, Japan and Ireland. This is the main conclusion of the report "Map of Violence : Latin American youth " recently released by the Latin American Technological Information Network (RITLA) . The study shows that among the 83 countries surveyed, the top five with higher rates of juvenile homicide are American. First on the list is El Salvador, with a rate of 92.3 murders per 10,000 population. We are Colombia (73.4), Venezuela (64.2), Guatemala (55.4) and Brazil (51.6). While in Latin America, the homicide rate among youth is 36.6 per 10,000 inhabitants, Africa recorded a rate of 16.1. In descending order are North America (12), Asia (2.4), Oceania (1.6) and, finally, Europe (1.2). Contrary to the idea that many people have that the violence is directly related to poverty and lack of opportunities, Julio Jacobo Waiselfisz, Instituto Sangari sociologist and author of the study, says the evidence suggests that "poverty is not homogeneous the cause of violent responses, but the injustices of wealth within poverty or poverty within wealth generated by the rebellion. " Change the focus of concern According to the report, previously the focus of concern was the Colombia-Brazil axis because, especially drug traffic. In contrast, according to Waiselfisz says, thanks to some internal measures taken by the governments of these countries, homicide rates among adolescents experienced significant declines in recent years. He cites as an example the case of Colombia, "from a decade of urban renewal and disarmament, Colombia managed to pacify the large cities and, thus, dramatically lower rates of youth homicide." In the first five years of this century, homicide rates among young people in Colombia have experienced a fall of almost 50%. While in 2000 the homicide rate was 130.6 per 10,000 inhabitants in 2005 the rate dropped to 73.4. For Brazil, the study attributes the decline in recent years of 56.2 homicides per 10,000 inhabitants in 2003 to 51.6 in 2005 - to a "successful disarmament campaign that managed to get many weapons in circulation." data indicate that while these two "heavyweights" of violence were able to reduce their rates, the Central American countries, especially El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua showed substantial increases. To Waiselfisz, this explains the geographic shift to the side of Central America. "Significant falls in Colombia and Brazil in South America make less important and worrying axis becomes the Central American subregion. Also, the sociologist also finds explanation for this geographic re the phenomenon of youth gangs operating for some years in these countries. output Julio Jacobo argued that instead of using repressive measures, which is mostly the way which is usually eligible, governments should seek preventive and educational measures to bring down rates of violence. "Education levels that come with higher levels of income distribution and then higher levels of human development are those that ultimately drive down rates of violence," says the sociologist.

| Lives shattered. Youth and violence in El Salvador |  |  |  |
By Edgardo A. Amaya Cóbar (*)
SAN SALVADOR - I had news from different sources on the recent study "Map of Violence: Youth in Latin America", published by the Latin American Technological Information Network ( RITLA) studies in which mortality of young people-overwhelmingly men between 15 and 24 years in the region, compared with other regions. Latin America is the most violent and El Salvador takes first place with a homicide rate among young people 92 per 100 000 inhabitants within the youth sector.
Viewing the report, I noticed that the data used are from 2005. Ready to update, I took the data from the 2007 killings of Forensic Medicine and Population Census results in the same year and the results were as follows:
homicide rates per 100 thousand inhabitants according to ranges age (2007)
| AGE GROUP: | Frequency | Percentage | Cumulative percentage | Population | Rate |
| IGNORED | 60 | 1.70% | 1.70% |

As shown, the data are discouraging. While saying that the data increased from 2005 to today would be a mild statement that it would not take that as a result of the census, the population figure is lower than the estimated population projections. All built with the information rates today are in doubt.
The second table, you realize that the range was the subject of study (19-24 years) for 2007 was a homicide rate of 118 per 100 000 inhabitants within that range, would place the country in a distant first with respect to other contexts.
Noting the table, we can see that almost 60% of homicides are concentrated in the range between 15 and 29, which reached a rate of 134 per 100 000 inhabitants of these ages.
The authorities insist that these levels of violence attributed to gangs, but when asked what they understand the responsibility of the gangs, the spectrum is very wide, which contradicts the need for analytical rigor. The figure for gang involvement by the authorities, to name one example, includes cases where the victim is a gang. A kind of prophecy self-executing. Where does the data become visible youths killed on suspicion of being victims of death squads and extrajudicial killings have been investigated by human rights organizations?
are obviously very hard data. Studies will talk about the affectations of violence to the Economically Active Population (PEA) of economic losses due to death of people, the correlation between human development deficits and levels of homicide. This is valid and necessary to understand the dimensions of the problem.
However, these are the data of despair. If frustration leads to violence, there are many people frustrated out and the frustration comes from the inability to be free to perform and grow as a person. Consumerism that gives the illusion of material happiness but denied to most of the media for access. Of structural violence expelling children and youth the education system, which sends many young people, particularly the poor ", to unemployment, the informal economy, addictions, to another country as an immigrant, are absorbed in their cycles of violence , leads to jail, hospital or the grave as the victims of such violence.
To which we add the fact that a kind of suspicion because of age. According to a recent survey IUDOP aimed at young people, the second source of violence towards this sector, after the delinquency and crime, the police is reported as 5% of respondents.
What is a young man in the neglected rural areas? What does it mean to be young in the populous areas of Soyapango, San Martín, Ilopango, Apopa?
With this scenario, it is difficult to conclude that the situation of young people in Salvadoran society and attention is a fundamental issue, therefore, For example, it is contradictory that the government has refused to accede to the Convention on the Rights of Youth.
A change in status should not be limited to a timely policy towards youth, but it should mean a general policy of human development which tends to progressively meeting the needs of young people in particular who depend more than ever, this country.

Lack of economic health and mental
By Karina Moreno Rojas
⊙ Increased suicide and mental illness due to the economic crisis. ⊙
occurs every 40 seconds a suicide. ⊙
154 million people suffer from depression worldwide.
Just a few days ago was reported as lack of economic health or stability in their pockets, has created havoc on the mental level with depression, stress, tension and nervousness that come to trigger epileptic seizures, violence, addiction (alcohol and drugs) and even suicide.
The economic crisis and global insecurity causes illness and imbalance between the emotions of individuals and their environment, experts at the Research Institute of Social and Clinical Psychology at a round table created on the occasion of World Mental Health who held on 11 October.
For example, about a week ago, an American man in Los Angeles killed five family members and himself, according to the letter he left, the reason that led him to do so was their precarious economic situation, triggered by the current global crisis.
Therefore, under the context of the celebration of World Mental Health, the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Margaret Chan, said in Geneva that the current global economic crisis will affect the amount of suicide and mental illness, so that "we should not be surprised" by the consequences of the financial crisis.
According to the above, every 40 seconds a suicide occurs, ie a year take their own lives and 877 000 people are expected due to the stressful circumstances that are currently live, the death rate in this way increase.
What is the situation in Mexico? In our country, six of every 20 Mexicans have had a mental disorder, and 3 out of 20 cases developed the problem in the past 12 months, according to the Ministry of Health, coincidence? I think not.
figures are alarming WHO contributed just 10 days ago, mentioning that worldwide 154 million People suffering from depression in varying levels. It is even more worrying that despite having the opposite problem little is being done about it, only 2.5 percent of patients are treated.
Dr. Benedetto Saraceno, director of the Mental Health Department of WHO, said that Mexico has fewer psychiatric and in bad conditions and they do not consider depression as a priority issue, but in Chile and Brazil already takes into account the disease within the treatments offered basic social insurance in these countries.
Governments inject dollars into the crisis and injected Who awareness to people about the need for professional help? It may take up to 30 years before a mentally ill person receives any treatment. For example, a drug addict usually takes 10 years to accept their problem and seek help, according to data presented in Geneva by María Elena Medina Mora, director of Epidemiology and Social Research National Institute of Psychiatry Ramon de la Fuente.
And while the economy slumps and requires the participation of all to generate global productivity, increased depression and anxiety causes absenteeism and increases the problem. Everything is a "pretty vicious circle" where the economy humiliating illnesses and diseases causing a sinking economy.

CENSORSHIP IN MEXICO COMMUNITY RADIOS

⊙ "Community radio stations are precensuradas" Chavez
⊙ Radio in Mexico is in the hands of 13 wealthy families.
Mexico (Aunam) 10.28.1908. For Maria Eugenia Chavez, vice president of the Network of women belonging to the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC) in Latin America, community radio stations in Mexico are censored in various ways: either through violence and threats, not being considered in legislation or through fear journalist grown in the country's insecurity.
Meanwhile, Mary Esther Navarro Lara, a graduate in Communication Sciences, Sociology and Law from the UNAM, said the lack of legal issues to foster and enforce the state to support the creation of community radio in Mexico, for they are considered superficially in the fourth and fifth articles of the Federal Telecommunications Act, which says about the radio spectrum is a general communication channel (4 th) and that this pathway is under federal jurisdiction (5 º) therefore opens the possibility of existence of this type of radios.

It said Chavez "community radios are precensuradas because they are not considered in the legislation" only granted the permission but not the institutional financial support. To which the professor also FCPyS added "we must promote basic minimum laws [...] and that most permits are at the discretion of the authority in office (which) is ambiguous."
addition precensura also considered by the member of Integral Health for Women (Sipam), said that community radio stations are threatened by drug dealers and such authorities, mainly from the Ministry of Public Security, which he has removed transmitters and beaten communicators, so much self-censorship is exercised due to the fear and protection of life and integrity of journalists.
worth mentioning that the first community radio in Latin America appeared in the sixties in Colombia. In Mexico, the first was created in the state of Veracruz by Jesuit priests who were interested in the problems community. Since then, 1994, there will be more radio projects without permits. Nine years after negotiations began for the request, and for 2004 the state granted 10.
acquires radio in the decade of the 20 a huge impact on Mexican society to reach all households, and although television relegated somewhat in the 50, no longer an influential media suitable for Mexican.
However, according to Navarro Lara said, unfortunately the media in our country are primarily commercial, ie, dealers who seek profit and doing business with the information and entertainment. As for radio, was given greater weight to the music constantly transmitting the wave of fashion artists. It is after the 1988 elections when there is greater openness to news and news programs.
Although in our country, "the electromagnetic waves are owned by the nation and not the dealers" themselves can not be foreigners, the media power "is concentrated in 13 wealthy families and corporate reputation," said the rapporteur They are: ACIR (Ibarra family 160 radio stations in Mexico), Radiopolis (PRISA and Azcarraga family), Monitor (Jose Gutierrez Vivo), MSV Radio (family Vargas 52), Grupo Imagen (Vazquez Rana 67), ABC Radio (Mario Vazquez Rana 21), RACE (family Laris 26), Multimedia Group (Gonzalez family 37), Radio Capital (family Macice), Radio Centro (Aguirre family 102) , Radio Formula (family Azcarraga Madero 83), Radiorama (Pérez de Anda Family 200), Radio SA (family Quiñones) and Group Seven (Sánchez Campusano).
The above represent the commercial radio stations, ie those that are managed by grants. Unlike those, there are the popular public radio or which are granted permission to use the electromagnetic space without having to pay anything for it. Of these last in the country are currently 194 government, 27 Indians, 68 universities and 11 community.

Mexico is one of the main countries most "leaks" work destined for United States. Thus, while in our country a growing number of so-called ghosts communities inhabited places only children and elderly people in the U.S. Latino or Hispanic neighborhoods are increasing.
reportedly Elaine Levine, a researcher at the Centre for Research on North America UNAM (CISAN) between 1967 and 2006 the U.S. population grew from 200 to 300 million, the Latino population that contributes most to the same with 36 percent. "Today, approximately 45 million Latinos represent about 15% of the total population and over 60% of them are Mexicans."
In an interview, José Luis Valdés Ugalde, director of CISAN, said the market's inability to provide minimum employment conditions for workers in power is because of the job search at other sites, with their northern neighbors the best and closest place .
"Migration Policy Institute found that 85.7 percent of Mexicans aged 16 and over are part of the workforce. In the case of men, he said, 40 percent work in construction, mining and transport sector, and 21 in services. Meanwhile, among women 37 percent working in services and 16 percent in manufacturing, "said Patricia Muñoz " The Foreign Ministry seeks dialogue with migrants' ( La Jornada, May 14, 2008).
The Mexican states with the highest influx of migration to the neighboring country are: Jalisco, Michoacan, Guanajuato and Zacatecas. In recent years, also joined Veracruz, San Luis Potosí, Tabasco, Puebla, Morelos, Hidalgo, Mexico State and Federal District. Jorge Durand professor at the University of Guadalajara and migration specialist "in the early twentieth century began its journey through: living in towns and states on the railway crossed the Bajio and" recruiters "came by them; and labor has always been necessary in the empire. " Notably
states south and southeast of the country, often with indigenous people, are being abandoned. Migration to cities with the intention of reaching the land of Stars and Stripes, mainly in the last two decades, is increasingly common, since, as Armando Bartra says in his text "The rights of migrants and the right not to migrate "," eight out of 10 farm workers are Mexican and United States including those of Indian origin began to be many. "
Fernando Santana, who now works in the shop Sanborn's of Perisur as a clerk in the department of records and sound, Fercho, as it is called by his friends, visited the country several years ago gringo, because after marriage at 18 and father a child, concerns did economic basis "I had to earn more to support my little kid, so I thought of going to work in the U.S.," he said in an interview.
Fortunately, we had a family "other side" as his father and brother were waiting with a roof to share and search for job security. This is an advantage for more than 500 million Mexicans who cross the border each year, since this is "many migrants and may be welcomed in spaces or more family friendly than in the past when it was most inhospitable undocumented migration, "said Valdés Ugalde.
However, Fernando "even if you have family on the other side, fear on the journey never goes away, you start to wonder, what if I fail the coyote? or fear for your life to be caught by la migra. "
And, as mentioned in the text Bartra cited above, you risk a lot to the cross: "[...] those who go on foot or risking their lives on freight trains, those who fail to pass and get stuck in this side in the maquila or precarious jobs [...] those who die on the way: heat or cold, thirst or drowning, train, knife or bullet, those who fall into the hands of the INS [...] those men and they catch the sordid prostitution in brothels, bars or teibols. "
Most of those crossing are young people between 15 and 25, although in recent years has been recording as many entire families who intended to cross the desert, even newborns.
For this reason, it is easy to believe Arturo Cano "Towards a geography of another Mexico" when he says that "one out of every ten Mexican households have a member with a history of migration to the United States. Only 93 of 2 000 443 municipalities are not linked to migration, either through remittances or migrant. "
According to the National Population Council (CONAPO) there are a total of 21.5 million Mexicans in the U.S. guests, ie, 60 percent of the total number of Hispanics. It is pertinent to point out that the term Hispanic has its origins from 1940 when the census identified under it to anyone who indicated English as their mother tongue, but now believes it is a loose term, since even it is exclusionary and offensive for those who do not share the English language, as the case of Brazilians said they Paz Trigueros Article Lengarreta "The diverse world of Latino" .
But Mexicans residing in the United States, "45% are women, 13% are under 15 years, 70% are between 15 and 45 years and 17% are over 45. Overall, the Latino population and had 36.3 million total population growth in the nineties to 57.9%, four times that of the U.S. population in general. The Mexican population was the major contributor to this growth, "said Arturo Cano La Jornada.
Although most Americans believe that immigrants are a cost to his nation the reality is quite the opposite. Immigrants work at low wages for their undocumented status, they do not absolve it from paying taxes. Simply, the unreturned item of tax and pensions paid by the government, the U.S. remains each year five billion dollars.
addition to the above, migrants are at the heart of agricultural production in the States. "In agriculture it is all in English, so that only they can get are American, but are 1%. The United States is a Mexicanized agriculture: 85% of its workers was born in Mexico. Two million, "said Durand. And if figures
treated, CONAPO offers a time line which includes the number of Mexicans who have left the country seeking the American dream. To begin during the 60's Parts 260 to 290 thousand people during the 70's 1.2 to 1.5 million in the next decade was an amount of between 2.1 and 2.6 million in the 90's the figure rose to 3 million.
Later, during the presidency of Vicente Fox, the border crossed over 2 million Mexicans, equivalent to the entire population of Baja California Sur, Campeche, Colima and it is expected that by 2015 no more than 4 million Mexicans, while By 2030 it is estimated up to 10 million migrants. Cano
cited in the text to the doctor and Ofelia Woo specialist, who said that female migration was seen for a long time as "family reunification." But in the early 90's, a study by the researcher showed that women who had left for the U.S. own individual claims, because "40% of respondents were single and most had at least finished high school. Between l998 and 2000, women who crossed the border as undocumented, 56% and 39% were single heads of household. "
The case of child migration is of great relevance, as opposed to what could be considered, children do not travel decisions of parents or forming a family, are smaller than try to pass on their own, without families or smugglers. The Immigration and Naturalization Service states that 60 000 people who pretend to the other side are children and 90 thousand a year manage to cross. According to Arturo Cano
Mexico is one of the main countries most "leaks" work destined for United States. Thus, while in our country a growing number of so-called ghosts communities inhabited places only children and elderly people in the U.S. Latino or Hispanic neighborhoods are increasing.

Less Busy Dmv Offices In Los Angeles, Ca
Report (first part) reading
Currently there are 12 million Mexican immigrants in the United States, of which 43 percent have immigration papers, in search of a better way of life, the great American dream and decent work opportunities and better pay, according to recent data from the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI).
This is caused by multiple factors, but among the most important is the lack of jobs in the country and is, as stated INEGI, the national average unemployment hit 3.61 percent of the Economically Active Population (PEA) for April This year, hit much emphasis on women, who have an unemployment rate of 19 percent more than men.
We are facing a real national problem because, as quoted in his note Antonio Zúñiga "Unemployment grew in April: 3.61% PEA" in La Jornada 21 May this year, 23 of every 100 households in Mexico are held by women, and unfortunately, "the unemployment rate among women rose from 3.99 percent in April last year to 4.14 in the same month in 2008, while that of men decreased from 3.35 to 3.28 percent over the same period. "
addition to this, the Center for Private Sector Economic Studies (CEESP) clearly described the lag in job creation and said it will not be able to accommodate 1.1 million people each year are integrated into the labor market. The note
"Backwardness evident in job creation: CEESP" dated March 31, 2008 in La Jornada , states that companies have serious trouble staying afloat because non-wage costs, also called deductions or contributions as required by law, are little more than 50 percent. As a result, these companies seek to decrease costs by hiring temporary this is insufficient, prevailing at the informal work and the migration of Mexicans.
"Mexico is a young country where everyday 3 000 youth entering the labor market. Most surprisingly, in recent years because of the 90 thousand jobs created less than a day, so that two of every three applicants were left with the desire or amounted to informal work, Armando Bartra raises in his article " The rights of migrants and the right not to migrate. "
He added that as stated in the International Labor Organization "growing unemployment is the greatest human drama of the planet, and depression of the start of the century lost their jobs some 24 million people. But this is nothing: in the next decade the market will add 500 million new job seekers, mainly in the peripheral countries-while, while we go, will create 100 million jobs. "
Although the Mexican government, as well as American, put on a silver platter to foreign capital, cheap labor, lax environmental and labor laws, deregulation, fiscal and public safety facilities is not enough to create more and better jobs. Without more, these countries become true citizens suppliers exported in large quantities every year, to wait calmly remittances that are sent and which largely maintain the Latin American economies.
*** Who is a migrant? ***
is curious that the verb to migrate is not regarded as such, but its meanings to emigrate and immigrate. "Migrante is the present participle of the verb to migrate. And as such, provides the very act of migrating, the present action and rough, moving from one territory to another, "says Matteo Dean in his article" Being a migrant " ( La Jornada, April 1 2008). For its part, Elaine Levine in the book Migration and Latinos in the United States says which is "the movement from one place to another in search of better living conditions, is an activity that has made the human [...] since its inception."
Both definitions are not much different from one another. However, being an immigrant represents much more than a short definition. For one thing covering the recognition of a human being who is moved, by necessity, from one territory to another, carrying its nationality, place of origin, but difficult to maintain after a reasonable time, as it adopted ways of being and thinking , ways of relating and visions. Dean Matteo
recognized as central feature of immigrant rebellion to mention that they are beings on the run, fleeing various problems and break rules to get where they want, "[...] the rebellion finds its reason in the will, express or less of the migrant to disobey the rules, many do not written, condemning it to life that is leaving, is that a life of poverty and lack of opportunity, or a life at war, or condemned to the monotony of a society without whys and perspectives. But at the same time, leaving a kind of surrender is facing a reality against which failed. "
argues further that even if you do not think those are migrants who leave their home only temporarily to make money or those others who leave never to return and settle, they do not meet the definition of migration, understood as active in constant motion, which migrates never leaves the place of origin even in thoughts, nor feel part of the new site. Also, always returns to the starting point to visit either physically or through consuming information regarding the place of the departed.

remittances
Remittances product of labor of Mexican migrants in the United States, covering a total of 24 billion dollars annually, which represents the second payment Currency after oil and tourism before (Cano Arturo, "Towards a geography of another Mexico" in La Jornada).
These remittances are an expense to those who rule and greatly diminished its value to enter our country. Send money to the families they cost about 20 or 30 percent of dollar value of the command, all depends on how abusive it is the shipping company and exchange of cash.
But in a country where since 2001 more than ever closed a large number of maquiladoras and 300 thousand jobs were lost due to U.S. recession and cheaper labor in Central America and China, and where were created annually (at least before 2000) 400 thousand jobs and entered the labor market 1 million 100 thousand young people ... in a country, the hope of development and progress are nil, therefore, migration is of paramount importance for the livelihoods of thousands of families.
Given the impotence of 300 000 young people every day seeking employment and where only one of every three applicants get it, it is not surprising that about 500 thousand children try to cross into the USA daily. Each
Mexicans leave the country next command, if at all possible, a reasonable amount of money for the family that he was on the side of pozole and Garnacha. According to figures from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in 2002 remittances amounted to 9 000 300 million dollars.
is, as stated in the text Bartra published by La Jornada in 2003, "three times the value of agricultural exports, 50 percent more than it brings tourism and almost as much as oil or entering foreign direct investment. "
He added: "Of the 23 billion dollars, according to the IDB, are Latin America and the Caribbean in remittances to Mexico will account for about 40 percent, far away is Brazil with 2 000 600 million and the Salvador with a thousand 972 million. " Similarly, stresses the need for remittances by the Mexican population depending directly one million 300 thousand families, nearly 7 million people, or what is, seven per cent of the country's inhabitants, therefore, half a million total households are dependent on remittance income.
Because of this, one gets the idea that remittances are sufficient justification to continue raising Mexicans who arrived in middle age and ability to work, go to another country to offer his strength and knowledge. Because, in the words of Bartra, "well used, they say, remittances could generate development removal in the regions, reducing the urgency pilgrim people. "
But how much the statements is true? Not much really, to understand what is stated in "The rights of migrants and the right not to migrate." Although boosted shipments programs to use in investments with the greatest impact, such as three by one and my community in the state of Guanajuato during the Fox administration, the truth is that only channel collective remittances, which is part of the money, Most goes to the family subsistence.
Because that is, remittances represent a real economic gain national long-term guarantee family existence, asset growth and a significant improvement in the quality of individual lives, not by major sectors.
As mentioned by the author (Bartra) "Mexico-United States, the world's busiest border, allow the large influx of remittances to the country for considerable periods of time but defining. That is, the money sent by the villagers is not always or in the same way.

In addition, remittances are not net income, then, in return for entering, leaving the country trained adult workers and labor, in which Mexican society invested, so that shipments can be viewed as the replacement of this spending " says Bartra in the text.
And later explained why.

Reflection
text The nascent Afghan passion on TV
By Karina Moreno Rojas
I really liked this text is brief and without express openly critical views of the journalist, but through of contradictions that reflect figures shortage of basic services, illiteracy and the continuing damage and danger of war against the entertainment group or individual, as the gender, Afghan television outstanding, mainly to the melodramas and soap operas, for which they say learning aspects of reality.

the author, in recounting the experience of Sediqui lived for seven years, which is now recognized as Afghan television celebrity.
In my view, the story reveals the innocence and perhaps ignorance of the Afghans, who see the problems they see in the telenovelas "teach things about life" when it is known that most stories are cheap to reflect a supposed reality where good guys always win and love conquers evil.
On the other hand, recognizes the television as a medium of communication that tells the truth because "throughout the world in-law engaged in the search case, this is something with no value or sustainable aspect.
Finally, it is interesting how people see on the TV screen all that know and never will be, as haute cuisine food may not taste as found in expensive restaurants which will not come, or programs where they engage to tell stories in which there is no military problem, the only conflicts are inconclusive affair.
I really liked this text is brief and without express openly critical views of the journalist, but through of contradictions that reflect figures shortage of basic services, illiteracy and the continuing damage and danger of war against the entertainment group or individual, as the gender, Afghan television outstanding, mainly to the melodramas and soap operas, for which they say learning aspects of reality.

Jimmy's World, written by reporter Janet Cooke, is a powerful text which chronicles the life of a child only eight years old heroin addict for three. Shows the contradiction between the act of a child as an adult and the dreams and illusions of a small innocent example is when Jimmy raises drug dealer want to be when I grow up (at eleven) to buy a shepherd dog, a bicycle and a basketball ball.
Similarly, Jimmy's only interest in school is to learn math, just to be careful in its future business in selling drugs and all that you can sell to people.
The story is a snapshot of life as hurtful and damaging to live in ghettos, barrios and African Americans, which is a form of normal existence for those involved, although not necessarily know they are wrong.
Jimmy's world is full of drugs, easy money, prostitution and theft. It is truly amazing to read the dreams of a child related to the stockpiles of drugs, the story of his mother who was raped and held him as a result of such violation, which to forget the troubles of his life after pregnancy is addicted to heroin, keeping his vice $ 60 daily with shoplifting and prostitution.
However, what surprised me most was the description of Jimmy craving for the drug, their desperation to turn on and off his sword Star Wars, how it is injected heroin and when he forgets it all and enjoy this as if on a roller coaster (the child makes reference to the journalist about the feeling of getting high).
The research that the author makes is clear and important to contextualize the experience of Jimmy, extending such research on the drug called Golden Cresco, data offered by the Institute of Drug Abuse Howard University on the increase in drug use and statements of a physician from the same institution and a social worker.
is a short story worth knowing that not only explains the situation of living in black neighborhoods in America, but also reflects different experiences in the same story that raises awareness and amaze those who read.

.- Seven years ago, in a different time, in a different Afghanistan, Daoud Sediqi, medical student, was returning from the campus on his bicycle when he was detained by Taliban religious police. Fear gripped the young man, he knew he had violated at least two laws.
first offense, it was also obvious was the length of his hair. Although the Taliban insisted that men should not trim his beard, opposed the "sloppiness" and the student had the shaggy locks. His other transgression was more serious. If his captors sift through their possessions, they would find a CD with an X-rated film
"Fortunately, they did not realize, my only punishment was to shave my beard, my hair long," recalled Sediqi, now, at age 26, is one of the most famous of the country, not for being a guerrilla or a mullah, but for being a television celebrity, host of Afghan Star, Afghanistan's version of American Idol.
Since the fall of the Taliban regime in late 2001, Afghanistan has developed in fits and starts. Among the things have not changed and that affect people, is the continuing war, inept leaders, corrupt police and the difficult living conditions. According to the latest government survey, only 43% of homes have windows and roofs destroyed, 31% have safe drinking water and adequate toilets 7%.
But television has received a phenomenal boost in a country where Afghans seeking some escape, and the rest of the world: soap operas that pit the good with the bad, the chefs who prepare food that most people never eat in kitchens they could never have, since they could not pay, the talk-show hosts, extracting Secrets of a nerve, which can not be saved the trouble themselves.
The most recent national survey, which dates back to 2005 shows that 19% of Afghan households have a television, a considerable figure, not only by the fact that having a television during the Taliban regime was a crime, but because only 14 % of the population has access to electricity. In a study this year on the five most urbanized provinces of Afghanistan, two thirds of respondents said they watched TV every day or almost every day.
"Maybe Afghanistan is not so different from other places," said Muhammad Qaseem Akhgar, a major social analyst and newspaper editor. "People watch television because there is nothing else to do."

Saving Private Lynch
Roberto Bardini (from Mexico, especially for ARGENPRESS.info)
Cameramen U.S. army in Iraq have nothing to envy to the film director Steven Spielberg, who in 1998 won an Oscar for his film Saving Private Ryan. And it seems that Hollywood writers have encountered serious competitors, psychological operations specialists from the Pentagon. Both sides exaggerate or distort reality to create fiction that reach the hearts of viewers hungry for heroes. Or in this case, heroines ... against their will.
gunpowder and printing keep an intimate relationship, wrote Oswald Spengler in The Decline of the West, voluminous work published in 1922. In those years the film industry was not developed nor was television. The following story, which also could be called 'War, Lies and video'-gives reason to German historian. And once again confirms the old phrase archicitada U.S. Senator Hiram Warren Johnson in 1917: 'When the war began, the first casualty is truth. " Commands
attack Scene One: March 23. Private Jessica Lynch, 19, originally from Palestine (West Viginier) assigned to the Supply Section of the U.S. military-truck traveling in the Iraqi desert. She is one of the 35 000 women in uniform sent to the Arab country.
Scene Two: The military vehicle, which are 15 soldiers of the 507th Brigade Support falls into an ambush by Iraqi militants. Despite the injury, Jessica refuses firing his rifle until the last round, not to fall prisoner alive. Enrage Arabs and stabbed her. However, the beautiful warrior still alive.
Scene Three: March 30. Jessica remains lying in the Iraqi hospital Nassariya, full of fractures, and bandages. This shot in multiple parts. Furthermore, it has broken an arm, both legs, feet and ankles. It is one of the top ten U.S. soldiers captured by Iraqi forces in the early days of the ground invasion. It takes a week without eating. Doctors and nurses attend reluctantly. The guard about 40 'fedayeen'. One of them, come in, he insults and beats him in the face slapping.
Scene Four: A civilian named Mohammed, 32, is in the hospital visiting his wife, a nurse. Is moved by the suffering of the young prisoner who came to save the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. Listen to a doctor talks to amputate a leg. Can not bear what he sees and hears.
Scene Five: First April. Mohamed runs six miles on foot, heading for the top U.S. military. Comes with their hands up, to show that there is an enemy. 'I have information about woman soldier in hospital, "he says. A blueprint to guide fellow Jessica.
Scene Six: Night. Nassariya nearby hospital. 'Go, go, go! ", Shouting orders to a young lieutenant. 'Go, go, go! ", Screams a tough sergeant. A combined force of Marines, 'Rangers' and 'Navy Seal' (Sea-Air-Land: land, air and sea), armed with night vision equipment and coordinated by the CIA, attacks. Explosions and gunfire. Confusion of 'fedayeen', doctors and nurses. Jessica Lynch is rescued and taken by stretcher to a Blackhawk helicopter. No deaths or injuries in the bomber command. (THE END).
An American heroine The 'script' was developed with information prior agencies AP, AFP and Reuters published in several newspapers in Latin America. CNN showed virtually everywhere a video recording of the rescue operation, filmed by a cameraman for the army, poor light and grainy. "This is a story that will probably end up in film ', said presenter excited CNN.
Before his rise to fame, Jessica Lynch had been assigned to the base of Fort Bliss (Texas), where he served two years of service and was renewed for another four. He never imagined that one day he would play part in a war.
'America is a nation that does not leave its heroes behind, "said James Wilkinson, spokesman for the U.S. military's Central Command in Qatar, to discuss the rescue 'behind enemy lines. " However, he gave too many details about the operation or say whether they had special units to deal with armed Iraqi soldiers free to Jessica Lynch.
"Some brave souls put their lives at risk," he added in a tone epic Gen. Vincent Brooks, who described how the operation was carried out at midnight and demanded the participation of dozens of elite soldiers.
Gregory Lynch, Jessica's older brother and also a soldier, said: "They have done a wonderful job. Knew was alive and that she would be rescued. Although I did not think it would be so soon. " President George W.
Bush shared the enthusiasm of the military in need of a story that raised its moral. According to presidential spokesman, Ari Fleischer, Bush celebrated the success of rescue when Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense forwarded the news. "The president is tremendously proud of the work of rescuers who risked their lives to free a captive soldier," said Fleischer.
American television crews flew quickly to Palestine, the hometown of Jessica miserable in West Virginia, with a 15 percent unemployment, one of the highest figures in the country. The girl, as recounted their family, aspired to study for a kindergarten teacher and signed a contract with the military just to pay for their studies. She did not aspire to go to brigadier general: just wanted to save for a college degree.
When the Pentagon announced the rescue, she was transformed overnight into an entire American heroin, with all the attributes of a consumer society: buttons that read "America loves Jessica", car stickers, T-shirts, mugs, country songs and a movie on NBC television. The other hero
almost anonymous, Mohammed, meanwhile, was moved with his wife and a six year old son to a military facility in Umm Qasr, as a 'guest of honor' of the United States.
War, Lies and Videotape
The touching story of action began to deflate seven weeks later, in a surprising sort of play in five acts.
Act One: Dr. Greg Argyros, who heads the medical team that Jessica Lynch at Walter Reed military hospital in the United States, NBC declared that it is very likely that the soldier never remember their adventure in Iraq. 'He has no recollection of events from the time when his convoy was attacked until she woke up 'in an Iraqi hospital, says the doctor. Argyros said that this is not a case of amnesia, which he defined as' the missing something that you knew. " Lynch explained that the soldiers simply do not remember the March 23 ambush in which he was captured.
Act II: The BBC television in London, an interview with Iraqi doctors who treated Jessica at the hospital in Nassariya.
Doctors say she had no bullet wounds, who was abused and did everything possible to heal their fractures. In addition, they say that they contacted U.S. forces to inform them that the militants had left the hospital on 28 March and wanted to let you know that giving back to the girl. Forty-eight hours before his dramatic rescue, an Iraqi ambulance went to the enemy lines to deliver to the patient, but had to turn back and escape as fast as the invading soldiers were shot and nearly kill his own comrade weapons. Dr. Anmar Uday
tells the BBC: "We were surprised. There were no soldiers (Iraqi) in the hospital. It was like a Hollywood movie. (The Invaders) shouted 'go, go, go', with blanks fired and explosions were heard. They set up a show: there were no casualties on either side. " According to Uday, seemed "an action movie such as Sylvester Stallone. "
Act III: The BBC also interviewed doctors who treated Jessica Americans and U.S. territory. Confirmed that she had no bullet wounds or signs of torture, but fractures and injuries caused by the rollover of the truck he was traveling.
The BBC says the U.S. official who turned the world on the capture, resistance and rescue of Jessica was a manipulation of reality. 'The story is one of the most amazing pieces of news management ever conceived ", says British television.
Act Four: Mohammed, the only witness who says having observed the mistreatment Jessica is being a lawyer. Granted asylum in the United States and works as a lobbyist or 'operator' in a business enterprise owned by a former legislative representative. Systematically refuses to be interviewed by the press.
Fifth act: 'I do not know what happened, I remember nothing,' says Jessica told reporters. Her angelic face smiling shyly looks away, looks down. (The curtain falls)

After fierce resistance of Private Jessica Lynch was wounded and captured after emptying his boots against the enemy. Iraqis lead to a hospital where he is heavily guarded by the army of Saddam. Despite this, an accomplished American elite commando rescue Operation Lightning in a brilliant escape the vigilance of the Iraqi soldiers.
real facts after investigation by the Department of Defense: Army Unit 507 of which belonged Lych soldier takes a wrong road that leads to the mouth of the wolf, the center of Nasiriya, because they misread the map and a problem of communication with vehicles from other units. Shots start ringing, the unit is dispersed in utter chaos dominated by haste and fear. Some vehicles are out of gas and others are stuck in the sand. Private Lynch was injured when his vehicle dump without using weapons. Is transferred and carefully attended to in a civil hospital where no military presence whatsoever. Logically, the U.S. military can salvage without any difficulty or resistance from hospital staff. Apply

The falluto rescue the soldier LynchTed Cordova Claure Thursday, June 26 2003The rescue of Iraq, of Private Lynch has nothing to do with "The rescue of Private Ryan," an epic film based on a story by the famous American historian, Stephen Ambrose - who died recently, "it was a great film, directed by award-winning Steven Spielbrg and the award-winning actor Tom Hanks also. The "rescue" of Lynch was a fiasco of Pentagon propaganda.
In seeking support for a war that nobody understood or accepted, the Bush administration launched a war heroism alleged action of trying to hold the interest and patriotism of Americans, but little by little it is showing that it was all a fake shoddy history, allegedly Hollywood style.
The Bush's justification, as discussed worldwide today, when found not found the famous weapons of mass destruction that so insistently announced by President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, that the Iraqi dictator and available ... and could use at any time.
But the "rescue" of Private Lynch in Iraq is becoming the worst assembly Pentagon propaganda on the Iraq war, an episode full of falsehoods and lies that the Bush dynasty imposed on the American and world opinion to save to history and to justify a military adventure is not known when or how, or where it will end ...
March 23, when the Anglo-American invasion from Kuwait and began virtually from the four corners of the world map, a convoy of U.S. military support of the wrong route and was ambushed near the town of Nassariya, the U.S. command had chosen to ignore in their anxiety to advance quickly towards Baghdad.
During the ambush, several American convoy vehicles were destroyed and there was a brief battle.
Five soldiers were killed and about seven were wounded or fell prey to the Iraqis, including two female soldiers and one of them, it said in a first version was fighting, firing his M-16 rifle to empty the clip, meaning that fighting until he was captured and taken to a hospital in Nassariya.
The soldier was rescued by a panel, after the U.S. military were dateados by the clinicians of the hospital that Private Lynch was being rescued from a certain room because doctors feared he could be abused by militants Baathists (the party Saddam Hussein) who stood guard there.
The truth is that a unit of special forces commandos went to rescue her, in a spectacular night operations, kicking doors, rifles in hand and shouting "go, go. go! ", to the astonished doctors and nurses who had already crossed over and arranged everything for the delivery of the wounded soldier.
All this was filmed with special cameras to capture images at night, according to a report by the BBC in London, who criticized the 'staging' of the episode.
A Canadian journalist who investigated the case, wrote in the Toronto Star that Private Lynch had no bullet wounds, but a broken spine and another in the leg, and a knife cut in any case, prevented him from handling M-16 rifle.
The journalist continued the case until the Walter Reed hospital in Washington, where Lynch is isolated, with a military guard at the door. Only allowed access to his father, who told reporters said he could not speak anything. At first he said the soldier had lost his memory. There was not even reply to the offer of the CBS television network, which has exchange for an interview offered to fund a book and a movie. That is, the direct path to stardom and the economic boom. Lynch, who lived in an impoverished area of \u200b\u200bthe state of West Virginia, had enlisted in the army for the purpose of obtaining a scholarship to study for master. But nothing. Private Lynch remains under Pentagon control. And it's one of the mysteries of the propaganda war in Iraq. And just when I'm finishing writing this article, see the news that he was architect of public relations for the Pentagon, Victoria Clarke, in strict confidence by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has resigned.
Is it an indirect victim of the rescue of Private Lynch? Here comes the next chapter. TED

The falluto rescue the soldier LynchTed Cordova Claure Thursday, June 26 2003The rescue of Iraq, of Private Lynch has nothing to do with "The rescue of Private Ryan," an epic film based on a story by the famous American historian, Stephen Ambrose - who died recently, "it was a great film, directed by award-winning Steven Spielbrg and the award-winning actor Tom Hanks also. The "rescue" of Lynch was a fiasco of Pentagon propaganda.
In seeking support for a war that nobody understood or accepted, the Bush administration launched a war heroism alleged action of trying to hold the interest and patriotism of Americans, but little by little it is showing that it was all a fake shoddy history, allegedly Hollywood style.
The Bush's justification, as discussed worldwide today, when found not found the famous weapons of mass destruction that so insistently announced by President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, that the Iraqi dictator and available ... and could use at any time.
But the "rescue" of Private Lynch in Iraq is becoming the worst assembly Pentagon propaganda on the Iraq war, an episode full of falsehoods and lies that the Bush dynasty imposed on the American and world opinion to save to history and to justify a military adventure is not known when or how, or where it will end ...
March 23, when the Anglo-American invasion from Kuwait and began virtually from the four corners of the world map, a convoy of U.S. military support of the wrong route and was ambushed near the town of Nassariya, the U.S. command had chosen to ignore in their anxiety to advance quickly towards Baghdad.
During the ambush, several American convoy vehicles were destroyed and there was a brief battle.
Five soldiers were killed and about seven were wounded or fell prey to the Iraqis, including two female soldiers and one of them, it said in a first version was fighting, firing his M-16 rifle to empty the clip, meaning that fighting until he was captured and taken to a hospital in Nassariya.
The soldier was rescued by a panel, after the U.S. military were dateados by the clinicians of the hospital that Private Lynch was being rescued from a certain room because doctors feared he could be abused by militants Baathists (the party Saddam Hussein) who stood guard there.
The truth is that a unit of special forces commandos went to rescue her, in a spectacular night operations, kicking doors, rifles in hand and shouting "go, go. go! ", to the astonished doctors and nurses who had already crossed over and arranged everything for the delivery of the wounded soldier.
All this was filmed with special cameras to capture images at night, according to a report by the BBC in London, who criticized the 'staging' of the episode.
A Canadian journalist who investigated the case, wrote in the Toronto Star that Private Lynch had no bullet wounds, but a broken spine and another in the leg, and a knife cut in any case, prevented him from handling M-16 rifle.
The journalist continued the case until the Walter Reed hospital in Washington, where Lynch is isolated, with a military guard at the door. Only allowed access to his father, who told reporters said he could not speak anything. At first he said the soldier had lost his memory. There was not even reply to the offer of the CBS television network, which has exchange for an interview offered to fund a book and a movie. That is, the direct path to stardom and the economic boom. Lynch, who lived in an impoverished area of \u200b\u200bthe state of West Virginia, had enlisted in the army for the purpose of obtaining a scholarship to study for master. But nothing. Private Lynch remains under Pentagon control. And it's one of the mysteries of the propaganda war in Iraq. And just when I'm finishing writing this article, see the news that he was architect of public relations for the Pentagon, Victoria Clarke, in strict confidence by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has resigned.
Is it an indirect victim of the rescue of Private Lynch? Here comes the next chapter. TED

Trouble With My Avital Starter
JULY CORTÁZAR
Continuity of Parks
had begun reading the novel a few days before. The urgent business left, opened it again when returning by train to the farm, is slowly leaving interest in the plot, by drawing the characters. That evening, after writing a letter to his attorney and discuss with the butler a matter of sharecropping, returned to the book in the quiet of his study which looked into the park of oak trees. Sprawled in his favorite chair, his back to the door that had bothered him as an irritating intrusion possible, let your left hand again and again caress the velvet green and began to read the last chapters. His memory retained effortlessly the names and pictures of the characters, the fictional illusion him almost immediately. Enjoyed the almost perverse pleasure of going line by line ripping his surroundings, and feel the time your head resting comfortably in the high-backed velvet, that cigarettes were at hand, that beyond the windows danced the evening air under the oaks. Word by word, absorbed by the sordid dilemma of the hero, letting go the images were arranged and took on color and movement, he witnessed the last meeting in the mountain cabin. The woman arrived first, apprehensive; now the lover came, his face cut by the backlash of a branch. Admirably licked her blood with her kisses, but he rebuffed her caresses, he had not come to repeat the ceremonies of a secret passion, protected by a world of dry leaves and furtive paths. The dagger warmed to his chest, and underneath liberty pounded squat. Panting dialogue raced down the pages like a rivulet of snakes, and felt that everything was decided from eternity. To those caresses entangling lover's body as if to keep him and dissuade him, sketched abominably the figure of another body that was necessary to destroy. Nothing had been forgotten: alibis, unforeseen hazards, possible mistakes. Since that time each instant had its use carefully allocated. Merciless review twice interrupted only for a hand caressing his cheek. Anochecer.Sin beginning to look now, rigidly fixed to the task which awaited them, they separated at the cabin door. She was to follow the path that led north. From the opposite way he became a moment to watch her run with her hair down. He ran in turn, crouching in the trees and hedges, to distinguish in the fog of dusk the mall leading to the house. Dogs should not bark and no bark. The steward would not be at that hour, and was not. He went up the three porch steps and entered. From the blood in his ears galloping came the woman's words, first a blue room, then a gallery, a carpeted stairway. At the top, two doors. No one in the first room, no one in the second. The door of the room, and then the sword in hand, the light from the windows, the high back of a green velvet chair, the man's head on the couch reading a novel.
Night mouth up
and go out at certain times to hunt enemies called him the flower war.
Halfway along the hotel hallway thought it must be late and hurried out into the street and remove the motorcycle from the corner where the doorman next door allowed to keep. In jewelry the corner saw it was ten to nine; arrive in plenty of time I visited. The sun filtered through the tall buildings of downtown, and he, as for himself, to be thinking, no name-mounted machine savoring the ride. The bike purred between her legs, and a fresh wind will whip the pants. He let the ministries (pink, white) and the number of stores with bright windows of Central Street. Now entered the most enjoyable part of the journey, the real ride: a long street lined with trees, with little traffic and spacious villas whose gardens rambled up the sidewalk, barely demarcated by low hedges. Maybe a little distracted, but the right running the street, he swept away by the smoothness, the slight tension that day just begun. This involuntary relaxation prevented him from preventing the accident. When he saw the woman standing on the corner had rushed to the road despite the green light, it was too late for easy solutions. He braked with his foot and hand, veering to the left, he heard the cry of women, and with the collision his vision. It was like going to sleep at once. He
abruptly. Four or five young men were digging out from under the bike. He felt the taste of salt and blood, hurt his knee and when he shouted, he could not bear the pressure in the right arm. Voices that seemed to belong to the faces hanging over him, encouraged him with jokes and assurances. His only solace was to hear confirmation that it had been in his right to cross the corner. Asked the woman, trying to control the nausea that earned him the throat. As he took her back to a nearby pharmacy, he learned that the cause of the accident had scrapes on the legs. "Nah, you just grabbed, but the blow broke the machine on its side ..."; Opinions, memories, slowly, éntrenlo back, and someone is going well and overall giving the drink a drink that will relieve the gloom a small neighborhood pharmacy.
The police ambulance arrived five minutes and put him in a soft couch where he could lie out flat. Completely lucid, but knowing he was under the influence of a terrible shock, he gave his information to police who accompanied him. The arm barely hurt, from a cut over his eyebrow blood dripping all over my face. Once or twice he licked his lips to drink. It felt good, it was an accident, bad luck, a few weeks still and nothing else. The guard said the motorcycle did not appear badly damaged. "Natural" he said. "As I landed on top ..." They both laughed and shook his hand guard to get to the hospital and wished him good luck. Now the nausea was coming back little by little, while took him on a gurney to a fund flag, passing under trees full of birds, closed his eyes and wished he were asleep or chloroformed. But they kept while in a room smelling hospital, filling out a form, by undressing and dressing him in a gray shirt and hard. They moved his arm carefully, without getting hurt. The nurses joked all the time, and had it not been for the contractions of the stomach would have felt fine, almost happy.
He was taken to the radio room, and twenty minutes later, with the still wet lying on his chest like a black tombstone, went to the operating room. Someone white, tall and thin approached him and began to look at the x-ray. Woman's hands were arranging his head, he felt he moved from one stretcher to another. The white man approached him again, smiling, with something that shone in his right hand. He patted his cheek and motioned to someone standing behind.
Like a dream I was curious because it was full of smells and odors he never dreamed. First a marshy smell, because the left side of the road began the marshes, the gurgling of which no one ever returned. But the smell ceased, and instead there came a fragrance compound and dark as the night moved to escape the Aztecs. And everything was so natural, I had to flee from the Aztecs who had a manhunt, and his only chance was to hide in the thick of the jungle, taking care not to lose the narrow road that only they, the Motecas, knew.
thing that tortured him was the smell, as if even the absolute acceptance sleep resisted that something was not normal, which until then had not participated in the game. "It smells of war, he thought, going instinctively crossed the stone knife in his belt of woven wool. An unexpected sound made him crouch and stand still, trembling. It was not uncommon to be afraid, dreams plenty of fear. He waited, hidden by the branches of a bush and the starless night. Far away, probably across of the lake should be burning fires of the bivouac, a reddish glare that part of heaven. The sound was not repeated. It had been like a broken limb. Maybe an animal like him escaping the smell of war. He straightened slowly, sniffing. There was no sound, but the fear was still there as the smell, that cloying incense of the Florida war. Had to follow, to the heart of the forest bogs. Groping every moment stooping to touch the earth of the road, took a few steps. Wanted to run, but the gurgling throbbed at his side. On the path in darkness, he took the course. Then he caught a whiff of smell that most feared, and leaped forward desperately.
"She's going to fall off the bed," said the patient's bed side. Do not jump much, great friend. He opened his eyes and it was afternoon, the sun already low in the windows of the long room. While trying to smile at his neighbor, almost physically pulled away from the ultimate vision of the nightmare. The arm, plastering, hanging from a device with weights and pulleys. He felt thirsty, as if he had been running for miles, but would not give him much water, just enough to moisten lips and make a crop. The fever was gaining slowly and were able to sleep again, but enjoying the pleasure of keeping awake, eyes, listening to the dialogue of the other patients, occasionally responding to a question. Saw the arrival of a little white pushcart beside his bed, a blond nurse alcohol rubbed the front of the thigh, and thrust a thick needle connected to a tube which ran up a bottle full of liquid opal. A young doctor came with a metal and leather apparatus that followed the good arm to check something. Night fell, and the fever was dragging softly to a state where things were a relief as opera glasses, were real and sweet, yet slightly disgusting, like watching a boring movie and thinking that, but on the street worse, and stay.
A cup of wonderful smelling golden broth of leeks, celery and parsley. A slice of bread, more precious than a banquet, it was slowly crumbling. The arm did not hurt anything and only in the eyebrow, where he had been sutured, sometimes a twinge sizzling hot and fast. When the windows across the way turned to smudges of dark blue, did not think it would be hard to sleep. A bit awkward, backward, but passed his tongue over dry lips and felt the taste of hot broth, and sighed with happiness, abandoned.
First was a confusion, a draw to itself all the sensations for a moment dull or confused. He realized that he was running in darkness, but cross the sky above treetops was less black than the rest. "The trail," he thought. "I left the carriageway." His feet sank into a bed of leaves and mud, and could not take a step without which the branches of shrubs did not flogged the torso and legs. Breath, knowing despite the darkness and silence, bent down to listen. Maybe the trail was near, with the first light of day I would see her again. Nothing now could help you find it. The hand that without knowing him, clutching the handle of the dagger, went up like a scorpion of the marshes to his neck, which hung a protective amulet. Barely moving his lips muttered the prayer of the corn that brings the moons, and the appeal to Very High, to the distributor of the goods Motecas. But I felt the ankles while you were sinking into the mud, and waiting in the darkness of the unknown chaparral is unbearable. Florida war had begun with the moon and had been three days and three nights. If he could hide in the depths of the jungle off the trail beyond the marsh country, perhaps the warriors would not follow his trail. He thought the number of prisoners who have done so. But the number did not count, but the sacred time. The hunt would continue until the priests gave the sign back. Everything had its number and its purpose, and he was within the sacred time, on the other side of the hunters.
heard the cries and leaped up, sword in hand. As if the sky were aflame on the horizon, he saw torches moving among the branches, very close. The smell of war was unbearable, and when the first enemy flew at neck almost felt pleasure in sinking the stone blade in the chest. Lights around him and the happy cries. He managed to cut the air once or twice, then a rope caught him from behind. "It's the fever," said the next bed. The same thing happened to me when I operated on the duodenum. Drink water and you will see that he sleeps well. Next
night where the darkness again warm the room seemed delicious. A violet lamp was watching at the top of the back wall as an eye protector. You could hear coughing, breathing hard, sometimes softly dialogue. Everything was pleasant and safe without harassment, without ... But he would not keep thinking about the nightmare. There were so many things to amuse. He began to look at the cast on his arm, pulleys so comfortably held it in the air. He had left a bottle of mineral water in the night table. He drank from the bottle, with relish. Now distinguish the forms of the room, the thirty beds, cabinets with glass doors. He guessed that his fever, his face felt cool. The eyebrow barely hurt, like a memory. He was leaving the hotel again, taking the bike. Who would have thought that it would end like this? He tried to fix the time of the accident, and he was angry to notice that there was a void, an emptiness that not manage to fill. Between the shock and the moment he had lifted from the ground, fainting or whatever would not let him see anything. At the same time he felt that this void, this nothingness, had lasted an eternity. No, not even time, rather as if in that void, he had gone through something or travel vast distances. The shock, the brutal against the pavement. Anyway, leaving the black hole had been almost a relief when the men rose from the ground. With the pain of a broken arm, the blood of the eyebrow departure, the bruised knee, with all that, a relief to come back tomorrow and feel supported and attended. That was weird. He'd ask the doctor at the office. Now back to win the dream, slowly pull it down. The pillow was so soft, her throat and feverish the fresh mineral water. Maybe I could truly relax without the damn nightmares. Violet light the lamp at the top was fading slowly.
As he was sleeping on his back, not surprised by the position in which he came to, but instead the smell of damp, oozing rock, blocked his throat and forced him to understand. Needless to open our eyes and look in all directions; complete darkness enveloped him. Tried to get up and felt the ropes on her wrists and ankles. He was staked to the ground, floor slabs in a cold and wet. The cold made his bare back, legs. His chin looked awkward contact with his amulet, and knew that it had started. Now he was lost, no prayer could save the final. Distantly, as filtering through the rock of the dungeon, he heard the drums of the party. He had been brought to teocalli, was in the dungeons of the temple waiting for their turn.
heard scream, a hoarse cry was bouncing off the walls. Another yell, ending in a whimper. He was crying in the darkness, screaming because he was alive, his whole body was defended by the cry of what was coming, the inevitable end. He thought of his friends filling the other dungeons, and which stood as the steps of sacrifice. Shouted another choked, I could hardly open his mouth, his jaws while stiff like rubber would open slowly, with an endless effort. The creaking of the bolt hit him like a whip. , Writhing, fought to rid himself of the ropes that were sinking into his flesh. His right arm, the strongest, pulling until the pain became intolerable and had to give. He saw the double door open and the smell of the torches reached him before the light. Just girded with the loincloth of the ceremony, the acolytes of the Catholic priests looking at him with contempt. The lights were reflected in the sweaty torsos and black hair with feathers. Gave the ropes, and instead the grappling hands warm, hard as bronze, he felt himself lifted, still face up, pulled by four acolytes who carried him down the hallway. The torchbearers went ahead and lit corridor vaguely wet walls and a ceiling so low that the acolytes had to duck his head. Now they were taking, it had, was the end. Face up, one meter of living rock which at times lit up with a glimmer of torchlight. When instead of the roof the stars came out and the stairs rose before him on fire with cries and dances, would be the end. The passage never ends, but it would end suddenly smell the open sky full of stars but not yet, they along endlessly in the dark red, hauling him roughly, and he would not, but how to stop it if they had started the amulet, his true heart, the center of his life.
sprang up at night from the hospital, the high ceiling sweet, soft shadow around him. Thought he should have shouted, but his neighbors were sleeping quietly. On the night table, the water bottle had some bubble, translucent image against Blue-shaded windows. Gasped looking for relief from the lungs, the neglect of those images still glued to her eyelids. Every time he closed his eyes he saw shape instantly, and he sat up terrified but at the same time enjoy the knowledge that now he was awake, that the night, that soon going to rise, with good deep sleep that you have at this time no pictures, nothing ... She could keep her eyes open, the drowsiness was stronger than him. He made one last effort, with his good hand sketched a gesture toward the bottle of water did not take it, his fingers closed in a vacuum black again, and the passage went on endlessly, rock after rock, with sudden flares of red, and he groaned backs off because the roof was about to end, it rose, his mouth opening like a shadow, and the acolytes straightened up and a waning moon fell on the face where the eyes wanted her, desperately searching for closing and opening to the other side, to rediscover the protective ceiling of the room. And every time they opened, it was night and the moon as they climbed the stairs, now head hanging down, and at the top were the bonfires, red columns of perfumed smoke, and suddenly he saw the red stone bright blood dripping and the swing of the feet of the victim, they dragged to throw him rolling down the stairs of the north. With one last hope squeezed his eyes shut, moaning to wake up. For a second he thought he would make it, because I was again motionless on the bed, except rolling upside down. But he smelled death and when he opened his eyes he saw the bloodied figure of the priest coming toward him with the stone knife in his hand. Reached the eyelids close again, but now he knew he would not wake up, he was awake, that was wonderful dream the other, absurd as all dreams, a dream that was going through the strange streets of an amazing city with green and red lights burning without fire or smoke, with enormous metal insect that whirred his legs. In the infinite he of that dream had also been raised off the ground, also someone had approached him with a knife, he lay on his back, him on his back with his eyes closed from the fires.
