Seize the day. Only 52 weeks and a day are left before Dec. 21, 2012, when some believe the Maya predicted the end of the world. Unlike enthusiasts of other doomsday theories who suggest putting together survival kits, southeastern Mexico, the heart of Maya territory, plans a yearlong celebration. Mexico's tourism agency expects to draw 52 million visitors by next year only to the regions of Chiapas, Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Campeche. All of Mexico usually lures about 22 million foreigners in a year.

TABASCO, Mexico - Gunmen have killed a state police officer and 10 members of his family, including five children, authorities said yesterday.

Among the five children killed was a 2-year-old boy. "It is confirmed that [the assailants] wanted to kill the state police officer but they killed his whole family," Alvarez said. Alvarez said three other people were wounded the attack in the town of Monte Largo, near Mexico's border with...

Too often, we are forced to choose: Watch the game on big, awesome, shiny televisions, or eat and drink delicious things. Why can't the two occur in the same place more often? Sports fans deserve better than skimpily topped nachos and greasy steak tips. Parlor Sports may bridge the divide. From the people who operate hipster magnet Trina's Starlite Lounge next door, the Inman Square sports bar offers a menu created by the same chef. Bartenders serve cocktails and craft beer, with an emphasis on boilermakers (Fernet-Branca with Saison Dupont, for example)

MEXICO CITY -- President Felipe Calderón pledged "a hard and difficult battle" against gangs yesterday, a day after gunmen wounded the top security official in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco and killed his driver. Calderón who has made fighting Mexico's powerful gangs and drug cartels a focus of his presidency, announced a high-tech anticrime network and inspected ranks of new patrol cars, drug-sniffing dogs, and police equipment. "We know that the fight against crime is a hard and difficult battle that is already having significant costs, will take time, and unfortunately will...

VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico - Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans fled a flooded region of the Gulf coast yesterday, jumping from rooftops into rescue helicopters, scrambling into boats, or swimming out through murky brown water. President Felipe Calderón called the flooding in Tabasco state one of Mexico's worst recent natural disasters, and pledged to rebuild. A week of heavy rains caused rivers to overflow, drowning at least 80 percent of the oil-rich state. Much of the state capital, Villahermosa, looked like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, with water...

‘Back in the day, canned hash was a staple," recalls longtime Bostonian Joyce Foster. "Any Depression-era person will tell you how horrible it was.
