Latviešu skolas diasporā un to izaicinājumi mūsdienās
Publicēts 2010.02.22
Nule apritējuši 60 gadi kopš visai sarežģītos apstākļos ASV, Kanādā, Austrālijā un citās valstīs pārvietoto personu kārtā ieceļojušie latvieši izveidoja skolas, kuru uzdevums bija uzturēt un saglabāt latviešu valodu un kultūru svešumā. Šobrīd, jāuzsver gan, ka ļoti atšķirīgos apstākļos, šāds izceļošanas vilnis no Latvijas ir sācies no jauna.

Būsim arī vienoti par pilsonības jautājumu
Publicēts 2010.03.09
Mēs esam sanākuši šajā pilnsapulcē, lai uzklausītu mūsu partijas biedru domas par triju partiju vēlēšanas apvienību “Vienotību”, kā arī balsotu par to. Šāda nesavtīga pieeja ir nepieciešama, lai Latvijai būtu pozitīvas izaugsmes un attīstības iespējas. Bet neaizmirsīsim šajā vēsturiskajā brīdī tos Latvijas pilsoņus, kuriem ir atņemta iespēja aktīvi piedalīties savas valsts veidošanā. Neaizmirsīsim tos, kas dzīvo ārpus Latvijas un tomēr ir pieskaitāmi Latvijas pilsoņu kopumam.

Reference work rescues long-lost Latvian terms
February 27, 2010
At 32 lats, the recently released Tautlietu vārdene compiled by Janīna Kursīte should be considered an investment. Drawing on mythology, folklore, history and ethnography, the 560-page reference book provides explanations of terms that today are often lost from everyday speech.

Next time, let’s just buy an Olympic commercial
February 13, 2010
For fans of the Latvian team competing in the Winter Olympics, the gains of Salt Lake City have been eroded by what happened Feb. 12 in Vancouver. Just as in previous Olympics, the American television network NBC cut away for a commercial during the moments Latvian athletes—with skeletonist Martins Dukurs carrying the maroon-white-maroon flag—were due to enter Olympic Stadium as part of the opening ceremony.
