Weekend Headlines: November 14-15, 2009

* Mexico: In an unsurprising move, Mexican government officials are peeved off at Forbes for placing Sinaloa Cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman so high on their list of the World's Most Powerful People.

* Latin America: Colombia and Ecuador have taken a small step to restoring full diplomatic ties that have been cut off since March 2008.

* Cuba: A group of Cuban dissidents have intensified their protests against the Castro regime by going on an all-liquid diet.

* Brazil: Apparently Brazilian police have nothing better to do than pursue an anonymous blogger who has published the names of over 300 supposed adulterers.
