* Peru: Former president Alberto Fujimori was convicted of corruption and sentenced to over seven years in prison in addition to his previous punishment for human rights abuses.
* U.S.: There may be fewer jobs due to the economic downturn yet a record number of Latino workplace deaths occurred in 2007.
* Cuba: U.S. and Cuban troops took part in a military exercise on Guantanamo Bay in an action likely representing changing bilateral relations.
* Bolivia: It’s not news when a soccer coach allows his son to play in a game. It is news, however, when the dad is the head of a Bolivian top division team and his son is a mere 12-years-old playing against adults.
