I just got back from a trip to South America, and no, I wasn't on horseback in Brazil, but I did have business there.

Below are just a few of the stories that were hanging out in the corral while I was gone:

• Tennessee Latinos Urged to Learn about AIDS Prevention (National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, October 15)
• How the private prison industry helped shape Arizona’s anti-immigrant law (Nashville's Corrections Corporation of America mentioned)
• South Nashville hit with new gang graffiti ("7OP" and "13" graffiti provide echoes of Mara Salvatrucha / MS-13, also "MCP" markings appear)
• NAHCC 6th Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Business & Community Awards (October 14)
• TFLI 12th Annual International Wine & Food Tasting (October 15 at University Club)
• En Fuego @ Lime October 16 (Salsa dancing)
