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. Such success puts the city on a trajectory pulling further and further ahead of much of the rest of the country. Mexican states...
...brainchild of Turkish-born industrialist turned hotelier Fuat Mehmetoglu, the 70-room, Bauhaus-inspired bolt-hole is built around a courtyard close to Austria's legislature in tony Josefstadt. All guest rooms feature flat-screen TVs, tastefully understated decor, and bathrooms with heated stone floors and glass-enclosed rain showers.

...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...
...combination of Cusworth and Harris’s work down low and the drives of Housman and Goffredo forced Maine’s big men into critical foul trouble. Tchekane-Bofia was an unstoppable force on the glass, collecting seven offensive rebounds and 17 points, nearly all coming on second-chance put-backs. But the 6’6, 230 lb. forward from Cameroon was limited to just 16 minutes of play, including only six in the second half after picking up his third and fourth foul within the span of one minute early in the period. Additionally, center Olli...
