There are a few Monterrey-headquartered firms making their way into the world-class league, like Vitro, which manufactures glass. Another is Cemex, the cement behemoth, with $15.3 billion in sales last year--the world's largest producer of ready-mix concrete. It recently made a $12.8 billion bid for Rinker Group of Australia that would be the largest acquisition ever by a Mexican firm and would strengthen Cemex's already leading position in the U.S. market.

A few moments later, his life will...
...back-and-forth, tightly-contested second half that featured seven ties and eight lead changes. Harvard took a decisive 66-65 advantage with 3:21 remaining on sophomore point guard Drew Housman’s drive down the right side of the lane and high bank off the glass. After each team missed shots, sophomore forward Evan Harris gave the Crimson breathing room with a pretty move off the dribble from the top of the key. Harris finished with a layup and completed the three-point play from the line, putting Harvard up by four. Maine kept it close, however...
