3) Alan Twobreakfasts Garcia knows his people and knows which buttons to push, so he does Ollanta Humala and Yanacocha a big favour by explaining that it must be them there Chileans behind all the anti-mining protests in Cajamarca. Seriously, he may be a total HDP but he's by far the best politico in Peru and possibly the best one on the whole continent....freakin animal.

4) Copper, zinc, lead, you name it....they're all quite a sight for sore eyes. Year of the Dragon go-go.

5) A building collapses in Rio de Janeiro and kills two five (and 14 missing sadly) occupants.
