Some Latin America-oriented blog shout outs:

• At Venezuelan Politics and Human Rights, Hugo Pérez Hernáiz looks at the crisis in Venezuelan universties.
• At Americas Quarterly, Sarah Bons examines the psychological stress of the Colombian conflict.
• At Texan Abroad, Steven Hyland is trying to get an intensive Portuguese language course going, which is tied to what I'd call a crisis in language acquisition in this country.
• At Central American Politics, Mike Allison is doing research on insurgent identity and voting in El Salvador.
• At Bloggings by Boz, James Bosworth gives 11 points on the Santos-Timochenko handshake (point #3 reminds me very much of Bill Clinton).
