SecurityCornerMexico.com Recommended Reading: Earthquakes in California are common occurrences as the state is located on the San Andreas fault, which cuts across California and forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and the North American Plate. There are many thousands of small earthquakes per year, most of them are so small that they are not felt. California's complex and interesting landscape can be attributed to the network of faulting that runs underneath the state. This is a list of Earthquakes in California HERE by Wikipedia.

SAN DIEGO READER Things San Diegans Should Consider When Driving To Baja This Spring Recent violent incidents involving U.S. citizens in Mexico have highlighted the precarious nature of Baja travel. Written by: Chuck Lundy and Richie Matthews, San Diego, CA April 1, 2010 - Believe it or not auto accidents and theft are more common in Mexico than violence against U.S. tourists. When driving over the border to Mexico consider a few factors to ensure a fun and safe journey. Driver attention is more important south of the border because roadways there are much less merciful than the wide highways we are accustomed to in San Diego. The primary cause of car accidents in Baja is due to the roads with low shoulders. More, HERE. © 2010 SAN DIEGO READER

The heavily tattooed Barrio Azteca gang members have long operated across the border in El Paso, dealing drugs and stealing cars. But in Ciudad Juarez, the organization now specializes in contract killing for the Juarez drug cartel.

Protestants, atheists gaining ground on Catholicism in Mexico
Mexico City, April 1, 2010 (EFE).- Traditionally Catholic Mexico has modified its religious profile in recent years not only because of the increase in atheism, but also because of the growing activity of other denominations such as evangelical Protestantism, experts consulted by Efe agreed.
