Think of the MC 851s as a set of high performance tires. You're going to find great traction and you're going to be able to hit the corners faster than ever, but if you use them for the daily commute they are going to wear out fast. The MC 851s will not last long, and many players will not find them supportive enough, during the grind of daily practice. That being said, few will find a faster shoe than this one. Our testers who saved the MC 851s for matches got the most out of this playtest. With minimal support and cushioning, they found the trade off to be exceptional speed on match days. Rather than being the only tennis shoes you'll need, think of these as the pair to pull out of your bag for your next big match or tournament. We found it best to train in a beefier shoe (New Balance's 1187 makes a perfect choice) for better support and durability, and to grab the MC 851s when competing.
New Balance, a major player in the running shoe arena, brings the "less is more" concept to tennis with the MC 851 tested here.
While in running some athletes are going so minimal they are running barefoot, in tennis we need more protection. For example, good luck playing barefoot on a hard court if you are a toe dragger (in fact, please don't try it even if you think it is possible). Other runners are wearing shoes designed to be very light weight, flexible and fast. Minimalistic in design, such shoes allow for a more natural movement of the foot but sacrifice support and stability.
In the MC 851, New Balance offers an extremely light weight shoe. We weighed a size 10.5 at an incredibly light 12.3-ounces, which makes the MC 851 the second lightest shoe we currently offer (the Yonex SHT108 just beats it at 12.2-ounces).
The MC 851 is about as minimalistic in design as we've seen for a performance tennis shoe. The uppers are a combination of light weight mesh and a synthetic Drag Tip material. An Acteva Ultralite midsole lives up to its name, providing a light weight yet cushioned ride.
Being so light and mobile, the MC looks to have speed, breathability and comfort covered, but can it meet our needs for support, stability, durability and traction? To find out our testers hit the courts for a month-long playtest. Read on to see how the MC 851 performed.
Comfort - Score: 3.5
Often with very lightweight shoes, cushioning is minimal while providing a low-to-the-ground feel. The New Balance MC 851 was no exception. Chris enjoyed the immediate comfort. He said, "These shoes require absolutely no break-in. On the first wear I was able to go all out and not have to worry about blisters or any discomfort. The uppers were very soft and supple and moved well with my feet. On the cushioning front, the forefoot felt especially minimal. I felt very low to the ground in these shoes. Being a skinny bloke, the minimal cushioning was not an issue. The shoes felt slightly more cushioned under my heels. I never felt any jarring on hard landings and was happy with the amount of cushioning."
Mike agreed, saying, "Right out of the box I thought the MC 851s were well cushioned and needed no break-in time. They were comfortable shoes to wear on and off the court."
Finding the cushioning to have a short life span was Jose. He said, "For the first couple of weeks the cushioning was great. Beyond that, though, the cushioning started to wear down. I started to feel everything on the court."
Mark wasn't surprised with the thin cushioned feel. He said, "They had a slightly spartan feel in terms of cushioning, which is not unusual for a low-to-the-ground shoe style, but the soft, almost sticky sole helped compensate for this."
Not getting an ideal fit was Granville. He said, "The MC 851s did not fit my feet well. The shoe seemed to sit askew on my feet. They were too tight on the inner toe box while being roomy elsewhere in the toe box. I removed the stock insole and replaced them with my usual aftermarket insoles for a better fit."
Ventilation - Score: 4.4
As all the testers agreed, this shoe provided excellent ventilation. Granville could feel air penetrate the shoe. He said, "The shoes remained very cool on my feet despite the heat on the court. I felt the wind blowing cool air over my feet from the excellent ventilation."
Chris was just as impressed saying, "The mesh on the uppers did a good job of letting air in and heat out."
Jose, was surprised that, "Sometimes I could actually feel the breeze coming into the shoe." Mark offered, "The use of mesh throughout the upper provided really good ventilation for my feet during several sessions on hot days."
Mike agreed, adding, "I thought the shoe had good breathability. The mesh allowed air to flow through the shoe, making my feet feel cool throughout play."
Arch Support - Score: 3.2
The arch support ran low, requiring some of our testers to insert more supportive insoles. Mike was satisfied with the support, saying, "The arch support on this shoe fit my feet well. I have a standard arch and had no problems with the arch support on these."
Both Chris and Granville added Superfeet insoles to improve the arch support. Chris said, "The footbed felt a little flat for me in these shoes. I ended up installing a pair of black Superfeet insoles, which improved both the arch support height and lateral stability through the arch area and heel."
Though the arch support felt a little low, it didn't bother Jose on court. He said, "The arch support felt slightly lower that medium. At first look, the shoe seems to have little to no arch support. However, once I put the shoe on, I did feel some support."
Mark felt the shoe could have had better support. He said, "I have a pretty middle of the road foot type in terms of width and arch height, but the arch support was a bit too shallow for me in the MC 851."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 3.1
With such an extremely lightweight shoe it was no surprise support and stability suffered some. Not expecting much support or stability, Chris said, "I would call this more of a match day shoe, as it is light and very fast, but not super rigid and stable for the grind of everyday practice. The flex from the chassis made it feel fast. The shoes flexed very well on toe-off, allowing a quick first step and a fast sprint to the ball. Laterally, I felt the shoes could be beefed up, because in stock form they twisted quite a lot. Fortunately, the low-to-the-ground ride had me feeling secure, and with the aftermarket insoles I was moving around confidently."
Mark also felt the support and stability could have been better. He said, "The traction of the sole was so good that when I planted my foot I felt like the tread of the shoe would do its job, but my foot slid a bit inside the shoe as I pushed off because there is not much supportive material in the upper. A little more material in the upper would remedy this, but then it would not be such a light, speed-oriented shoe."
Granville said, "This shoe is designed for speed -- so there will be some compromises, and stability is one area of compromise. As noted earlier, my feet do not sit in the shoe comfortably. Some roominess in the toe box added to the odd fit. Also, the soft and supple materials did not offer much support laterally."
Feeling vulnerable when changing direction was Mike, who said, "The shoe didn't really have the best foot support or stability. When I changed direction the shoe didn't support my foot, and it felt like I was going to roll my ankle. I would have to say that these weren't the best when it came to support and stability."
Jose was happy with the support and stability, given the MC 851's weight. He said, "The shoe had a glove-like fit, so I didn't have any problems with my feet moving around in the shoe or my ankles rolling. The support and stability rate well with me for such a lightweight shoe."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 3.5
The playing styles of our testers vary, as do their opinions on the durability of the MC 851. Chris was pleasantly surprised with the durability. He said, "Being light and fast, these shoes didn't seem to be built for durability. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they held up. As I've found with other New Balance shoes, traction remained impressive even when the outsoles started to show wear. Considering I tended to save these shoes for matches, while practicing in something more stability oriented, I expect to still get plenty of life out of my pair."
Mark was happy with the durability/weight trade off. He said, "I gave it a 4 in the durability department because for such a light shoe, it is pretty darn durable. Like all my shoes, the toe box portion in the MC 851 was the high wear area."
Granville was happy with the wear. He said, "It seems to hold up well over the whole outsole. The wear patterns for me are at the toe and outside forefoot (as usual). These outsoles held up well under some extensive playtesting."
Seeing some premature wear was Jose. He said, "After about three weeks of playing I started to notice some wear on the sole of the shoe. I didn't expect the shoe to have a durable sole since the shoe is really light, but shoes usually last me six to eight weeks before I see some wear."
Mike felt the durability was lacking. He said, "The durability on this shoe wasn't the best. I started seeing wear within two days of playing for about an hour each day. I usually like shoes with great durability, and these shoes did not have it."
Toe Durability - Score: 3.4
There was plenty of protection for toe draggers. Mark found the uppers at the toe to be more durable than the outsoles. He said, "The outsole feels pretty soft, but the toe cap is a firmer compound and slowed the wear considerably."
Happy with the toe durability was Chris, saying, "The toe durability was solid. The uppers feel pretty thin, but they resisted abrasion very well. I drag the toes on both shoes and found plenty of scuffing on these, but there were no major durability issues."
Traction - Score: 4.3
With superb tack on the hard court, the MC 851s excelled in the traction department. Jose was happy with his sure-footed movement. He said, "I didn't have any problems at all stopping, starting or changing directions. Since the shoe is lightweight it made it easy to adjust to any speeds. The sole of the shoe provided good grip at all times, whether it was lateral movement or just sprinting and stopping."
Chris felt the tack of the outsole helped provide efficient movement. He said, "The rubber used for the outsoles gripped the court very well. The shoes also offered a fair bit of flex, and that seemed to help keep a lot of the outsole connected to the court. The resulting grip had me flying around the court at full speed. Great traction and a light and fast feel made these a good match day option for me."
Feeling traction to be one of the best attributes of this shoe was Granville. He said, "I like the stickiness of the outsole and tread. I was moving confidently, with no slips. They have a nice low ride, so traction is one of the highlights of this shoe."
Mark felt the traction outperformed the support, saying, "This ties into my comment in the support section; when making quick stops and starts I felt like the tread of the shoe planted well, but my foot moved a little inside the shoe when transitioning in an opposite direction."
Having similar sentiments was Mike. He said, "The traction on the shoe was good. I didn't slip at all, but the traction was so good that every time I changed direction I felt like I was going to roll my ankle."
Weight - Score: 4.6
At a shockingly light 12.3 ounces (size 10.5), it was clear this shoe was designed for speed. Chris moved well on the court, saying, "These were the lightest and fastest shoes I've worn since the Nike Air Zoom Vapor S2 (the original Vapor). They definitely blew away everything else I've worn this year when it comes to feeling light and fast. I was moving very well in them, and I'm saving my pair for matches, when I want to make sure I'm moving at my best."
Enjoying the ease of movement was Jose. He said, "The weight is the strongest aspect of this shoe. The weight made it easy to move around the court."
Mark noticed a better ability to accelerate. He said, "My ability to accelerate was enhanced by the light weight of the 851. However, stopping was slightly inhibited for the same reason. If there was a bit more material in the uppers these shoes would have felt more familiar to my feet. Then again, it would no longer be such a lightweight shoe, which a lot of players benefit from."
Granville, comparing it to a running shoe, said, "I don't think you could have a much lighter performance tennis shoe. If you're seeking lightweight shoes with little cushioning or support, you will love this shoe."
Mike agreed with Granville, saying, "Because I rely on my quick feet, the weight of these shoes was excellent. The weight on these felt like a pair of running shoes; very lightweight and quick on court. Unfortunately, they lacked support and stability."
Overall - Score: 3.7
Chris - "I liked the light weight, fast feel, traction, toe durability, looks and ventilation."
Jose - "I love the light weight of the shoe. It made it really easy to move around the court."
Mark - "For a really light, good looking, speed-oriented shoe, the MC 851 is pretty durable, and the shoe did not let me down in terms of traction or ventilation, either."
Granville - "Good traction and ventilation, lightweight."
Mike - "Good cushioning straight out of the box, very lightweight and good traction."
Chris - "I'd like to see just a tad more chassis stiffness -- perhaps a beefier midfoot shank."
Jose - "I didn't like the cushioning of the shoe, but because the shoe is so light something had to be sacrificed."
Mark - "The only part of the MC 851's ride that I could criticize would be the lateral support. Changing directions in them caused a little undesired foot movement within the shoe."
Granville - "Not crazy about the cosmetic. Does not fit my foot well."
Mike - "The lack of support and stability, and the durability."
Comparing the MC 851 to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Chris - "I would compare these to the Vapor S2, as previously mentioned. Compared to current New Balance offerings, the 900 comes closest, but these are even more minimal and fast. I'm not sure if New Balance was taking a page from its running heritage here, as running shoes are becoming extremely minimal, but it certainly felt that way."
Jose - "The toe box area is a little narrow, but they have the same feel as a Vapor 8 Tour, but without the extra room in the toe box area."
Mark - "It is a great match day shoe. I would probably train in a shoe with a bit more material in the upper because, although they are very light, they did permit my foot to slide around inside them. To me this shoe is a departure from other New Balance shoes and reminds me more of a European indoor court shoe rather than a standard hard court shoe."
Granville - "An interesting mix of features with little compromise in areas of strength and weakness."
Mike - "This was probably one of the worst shoes I've tested. Although the shoe was lightweight, which I loved, the cons of the shoe -- poor durability and support/stability -- outweighed the pros."
Playtester Foot Types:
Chris - Narrow width / Medium arch
Jose - Medium width / Medium arch
Mark - Medium width / Low arch
Granville - Narrow width / Low arch
Mike - Medium width / Medium arch

Found throughout Asia, Bamboo is not a tree but actually a type of grass-one of largest in its family. Prized as being one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo plants can grow up to 47 inches in a single day, and up to 80 feet at peak height. Bamboo quickly re-grows after being harvested without replanting, making it a wonderful source of renewable wood.
Bamboo has a variety of uses, from food to medicine, and building materials to textiles. We love bamboo not only for its eco-conscious qualities, but also for its density and durability in a broad range of household items. Bamboo is great in the kitchen, especially in the form of utensils like the classic bamboo rice paddle and cutting board. It can even be woven to create lovely trays, baskets and other serveware. Bamboo can also be used to craft beautiful vases, wind chimes and other home ornaments. As the Chinese symbol for longevity, your bamboo-crafted items are sure to endure everyday use.
Bulky items such as furniture and rugs cost more to ship due to greater size and weight. Therefore, a delivery surcharge will be billed in addition to the standard shipping charge.
Surcharge amounts vary. The surcharge amount is noted on each product detail page.

Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery Options For Mission-Critical Applications
Over the past several years, we've seen business requirements rapidly evolve and technologies continue to advance, yet the way many companies approach disaster recovery remains at a standstill. Tolerance for downtime is at an all-time low, and many organizations — and particularly their users — expect IT services to be "always-on." Meanwhile, new virtualization and automation technologies have emerged that can help fill gaps in continuity plans, but many organizations have been slow to adopt them, thus widening the gap between business expectations and IT realities.

Most often with testicular cancer, you will find a painless mass in your scrotum. At other times, either the mass will be discovered during a routine health check-up or it will be painful. Painful masses are likely to be infections ( epididymitis or orchitis) and may be treated first with antibiotics, but all masses or swellings in the scrotum or testis should be examined by your physician.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam, including a careful exam of your testes.
Diagnostic Tests for Testicular Cancer
Your doctor may do some of the following tests:
Blood Tests —A sample of your blood is taken and the levels of certain tumor markers are measured. Tumor markers are chemicals that sometimes appear in the blood if cancer is present in the body.
Testicular cancer produces two markers: alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). These chemicals help diagnose the disease, and are also used to monitor the success of treatment.
Another substance in the blood, the liver enzyme LDH, is usually elevated in advanced cases of cancer. It may be measured to help diagnosis and to monitor the success of treatments.
Ultrasonography —Ultrasound is the key test in diagnosing testicular cancer. It uses sound waves to find tumors. If it shows a mass that is solid, the testicle will most likely be removed.
Excisional Biopsy —This is the removal of an entire testicle for laboratory examination to check for cancer. Most testes with suspicious masses seen on ultrasound are completely removed. In order to minimize the potential for spread of cancer cells as a result of the surgery itself, the surgical approach to this procedure is through the groin rather than across the scrotum.
Chest X-ray —This is a series of standard x-ray images of your chest. If cancer is confirmed by biopsy, it may have spread to the lymph nodes in the chest. The chest x-ray is done to check for this spread.
CAT Scan —This test provides detailed computerized x-ray images of any part of your body and can be used to help determine if the cancer has spread. The CT scan is usually taken of the abdomen and pelvis.
MRI —This test uses magnetic waves to take pictures anywhere in your body. The images are used to determine the stage of cancer or to see if it has spread.
Staging of Testicular Cancer
If cancer is found, the treatment and chance for cure depend on the tumor type, location, size, stage of the cancer, and your general health. For most stages of disease the cure rate is currently over 90%.
95% of testicular cancers are of a type called germ cell tumors. There are 2 major types of germ cell tumors: seminomas and nonseminomas. There are several types of nonseminomas, all of which tend to be more aggressive than most seminomas. They are distinguished with microscopic examination as well as by blood tests for tumor markers. Some tumors may have more than 1 cell type. Nonseminomas are less easily cured than seminomas.
Staging is a careful attempt to determine whether the cancer has spread and, if it has, what body parts are affected. Staging of testicular cancer considers both the growth of the tumor and the involvement of the lymph nodes. The following stages are used to classify testicular cancer:
Tis ( in situ )—The cancer is very localized and has not spread to other areas.
T1 —The tumor is limited to the testis and epididymis, without having spread to nearby blood vessels.
T2 —The tumor is limited to the testis and epididymis and has spread to the blood vessels or into the thin skin surrounding the inside of the scrotum (called the tunica vaginalis).
T3 —The tumor has spread to the spermatic cord.
T4 —The tumor has spread into the wall of the scrotum.
N1 —Lymph node with 2 centimeters (cm) or less of cancer
N2 —Lymph node with 2-5 cm of cancer
N3 —Lymph node with more than 5 cm of cancer

Packing for a festival isn't always as straight forward as packing for a holiday, so here are a few suggestions chosen from my own collections.
June 28, 2013
With festival season in swing, and Glastonbury kicking off today, I thought I'd share a round-up of some of my favourite festival outfits from the last few years with you.
June 26, 2013
It's that time of year again, when people dust off their picnic baskets and crowds flock to Henman Hill for the major sporting event that is Wimbledon.
June 21, 2013
On Tuesday night I had the pleasure of speaking at a fantastic event which aims to connect women of all ages and backgrounds.
June 13, 2013
I'm a huge supporter of hot new designers so this week I sent the girls from HQ along to the first ever fashion show to be held at the Houses of Parliament…
June 11, 2013
Always on the lookout for new eateries in London, we stumbled across Mama Lan's restaurant in the heart of bustling Brixton Village Market.
June 08, 2013
I'm all for British music talent and my favourite solo star of the moment is Lulu James.
June 06, 2013
Tuesday night saw the crème de la crème of the celebrity world come together for the annual Glamour Women of the Year Awards, and we were lucky enough to be invited.
June 05, 2013
It will come as no surprise that Helena Bonham Carter is a fan of Lulu, and the feeling is most definitely mutual.
June 01, 2013
Ask anyone that knows me and they'll tell you that books are my 'thing'. My current favourite is 'Growing up in Restaurants' by James Pembroke – the story of eating out in Britain from 55BC to present times.

"Yet some American politicians are doing their best to block it, out of fear of being swamped by immigrants."
...um yeah, ok.
"They could hardly be more wrong. Fewer Mexicans now move to the United States than come back south."
Any article about the Mexican border that doesn't mention Guatemalans or Salvadorans (at the very least!) is missing the point entirely.
Why would the correspondent assume that all immigrants crossing the Mexican border are Mexican? Especially the illegals?
Let me put it this way, if an English speaking person tells me they are Mexican, I pretty much assume that they don't understand any Spanish.
Any article about the Mexican border that doesn't mention Guatemalans or Salvadorans (at the very least!) is missing the point entirely.
What does Guatemala or Salvador have anything to do? Their economy is not as entangled as the Mexican
and American one. The point of this whole article is how Mexico's economy is growing thanks to an increased share of the workshop market to the US. Mexico is rising because of its cheap labor and increased technical skill vs China that's becoming more expensive and risky (intellectual property)
Guatemala and Salvador have many people in the US, but they are not the point of this article because their economy is not growing as fast.
No doubt Mexico as an alternative to increasing wages in China and fluctuating oil prices, will attract manufacturers focused exclusively on the U.S. market, but, what can Mexico offer beyond geographic proximity? China is well ahead of all of LatAm in a wide range of areas to include a much larger and better disciplined/trained workforce, infrastructure support, more logistics clusters, and a vast amount of FDI specifically supporting manufacturing, trade and development.
Mexico exports twice as much than China on a per capita basis.
Thats interesting, and it would be more interesting if we knew what percentage of the working population is engaged directly in the production of manufactured goods (not assembly) for export.
China produces a wider range of goods for export, to more destinations, thats what matters at this stage. Mexico should try to attract the broadest possible range of firms, not just those seeking to position themselves geographically closer to the U.S. market.
Another concern is Mexico's ability to provide services beyond the "Golden Triangle." The country must provide fresh opportunities for manufacturers, by way of specialization of services, enhancement of global connectivity beyond the current limited offering, to include port services attractive enough to draw some of the Long Beach/Panama container traffic going southbound.
In the shorterm (main calm, remain seated) Mexico should allow USCBP inspectors in-country, in order to enhance the already advantageous transit time they currently enjoy to northbound destinations.
"China produces a wider range of goods for export, to more destinations"
Do you have stats to back that up? Or is it an opinon?
, thats what matters at this stage"
Now you wouldn't ask a question without already having the answer, would you?
Take a look at the total value of exports based on customs entries, the number of primary export destinations for each country and the number of TEUs, puts China well ahead of most of the western hemisphere.
Even WalMart is a good indicator for retail level goods within the U.S.
Oh please. "What can Mexico offer beyond proximity" As in real state, in international trade (and GEOpolitics), the three most important factors are: location, location and... location.
And on top of that: a huge local market, free trade agreements with most of the fastest growing markets in Spanish speaking, and everyday more and more integrated Latin America and last but not least, cheaper labor than China. Mexicans themselves have not been able to even spot these opportunities, and therefore have not been able to even start selling them, and if they do not sell it, nobody will buy it. But wait until the day Chinese companies see it. And dear Mexican friends, just admit it, it is these factors that make Mexico attractive. For the moment, Mexico, as the rest of Latin America, cannot match Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore in local technology champions. Other than CEMEX (My sombrero off!) the best Mexico can offer is Mexicans subsidizing Carlos Slim's investment abroad through the rent he sucks from every mortal Mexican from his monopoly n telecommunications. And in this regard, China is far ahead. Watch up Carlitos, China Mobile may be coming and, finally help develop Mexico's telecommunications sector. Wei ni hao! The Chinese are no the sitting duck Iusacell or Movistar are.
As for your assessment of the three most important factors in international trade being "Location, location and … location."
I can only say that, to a goodly degree, it seems as if global transportation has nullified that.
On a serious note.
I think Mexico has indeed been able to spot many opportunities; like all countries, they just haven't been able to pull it all together, yet.
Also, "Cheap labor" in itself will probably not be enough of a magnet to attract and expand a wider range of foreign firms. While Mexico can provide cheap labor, (Is it $3 per hour?) it can also provide goods and services beyond the "Cheap labor" level, notice the trade transactions with the golden triangle. Mexico has to enhance its positives and spread the wealth across its population, no overnight task.
A bit unfair to compare Mexico's economic strength to South Korea using purely GDP. The high-value exports coming from Mexico (as you point out, things like flat-screen TVs and BlackBerries) distort that number. Mexican income per capita is rougly half of Korea's, and a more comparable Asian country is Malaysia. The sector composition of its economy, etc. are all more similar to Mexico than Korea.
Please name the Republican candidates (for President, Senate, House....) who use the term "wetback" - the term you put in quotation marks.
You can not name them - because, as so often, the Economist magazine is just makeing stuff up (smearing people you consider beneath you - in your Oxbridge way).
And you wonder why conservatives do not trust your magazine.
Glad to hear Mexico's doing well. Now all the best and brightest Mexicans a.k.a. all those who can run, jump and swim who have been held against their will in the US (forcing them to keep speaking Spanish lest they should forget the beloved motherland) can go back to their great country that is Mexico, take back the country from the corrupt and the criminals.
Mr. In the long run,
You sound really angry.
But being a disrespectful prick will not make you feel better about your sad life.

"Some hotspots, such as Ciudad Juárez, have improved dramatically."
Of course it improved dramatically because war between cartels is over and now only one narco-boss is controlling the border there.
All countries that were once irrelevant are developing fast while Europe is decading, it seems that we don't have bright future.
But I'm glad to hear that things are improving there, Mexico must be an amazing country for some long trip.
Roads are also a barrier to trade. You need efficient logistics in order to boost trade and productivity. Mexicans are forced to take some of the world's ugliest roads (if there are any available) to transport goods internally duty free; otherwise, they can spend a fortune on the infamous "casetas", which often charge the equivalent of $60 Cdn for a 200-km trip. Until Mexicans can enact effective internal logistical infrastructures, I doubt that that they will ever see their nation rise to its true potential, that and the fact that an indecently large proportion of its GDP is held by a select few (Carlos Slim - 8% for connections, not intelligence).
¿Maybe your last trip to Mexico was back in the 70s?
The Mexican government has invested heavily in transport infrastructure in the recent years. Having ample experience in logistics consulting, I can tell you that the roads are more than adequate. You can find more info here: http://www.infraestructura.gob.mx
As to your comment that "an indecently large proportion of its GDP is held by a select few", it shows that you have a limited understanding of economics. GDP is not "held", it is produced. And wealth cannot be prevented from circulating. The only way wealth can be generated in an economy, is by producing a product or service and selling it. If Slim is so rich, is because his companies have produced services who have benefited millions, and we are willing to pay for those services. Granted, you can argue that the services are not awesome, but that´s a different discussion. The main point is that once wealth is generated, it does not stay still. Rather, it circulates; money never, ever stays still. Slim´s companies employ hundreds of thousands of people, and buy products from tens of thousands of other companies. Even the luxury items Slims buys with his money produce wealth for others: the car manufacturers, the real estate developers, the jet builders, etc.
Now, could Slim´s telecom businesses be more efficient, making the money move even faster? Absolutely. But if you believe that people are poor because Slim is rich, you are very much mistaken. The real world economy is not a game of Monopoly, with a limited number of funny money bills. In the real world, wealth is created out of capital, labor, and materials, and that wealth benefits us all.
If you take efficiency into consideration, it's a whole new story. You can have much greater efficiency when 100 people hold $1 each than when 1 person holds $99 and the rest shares $1 among them.
You can also argue that if 100 people have $1, nothing happens. But if one person has $100, he starts a business, hires the other people, and money circulates.
Come on roads are better, but they are not adequate, it takes 4 hours to get from Guadalajara to pto Vallarta, even tho it's 196 km away (in a straight line), the public roads are so bad that u have to take the private road and pay 400 pesos to get there and let's not talk about the south which is beign ignored as ever, most of the roads are good in central mexico and the roads going to the states and a few ports, but apart from that it's generally not adequate, and trains are even worse, i mean there's no train service in central mexico which makes sense cuz most mexicans live there. Sure roads are getting better, but they are not good by international standards, and the good ones are the only comercially viable, that's one of the reasons why the narcos are so succesfull and the rural population is considerably poorer and less educated.
Hahahaha typical american who thinks we have dirt roads and dunkies lol
"The narcos are so succesful and the rural population is considerably poorer and less educated" - because "the good (roads) are the only comercially viable"? Am I understanding your argument right?
What has the PGR been spending its time on all this time?!?! let's have them build bad roads that are comercially viable so we can get rid of the drug trade!!
In 2050 Mexico will be the fifth largest economy in the world and the US will be the third with 1,875 miles of common border. Mexico has to keep up its pace and forget about being mentioned or acknowledged for anything. It is not necessary, neither desirable. Let China be the US focus. This will give Mexico room. In the future, economic blocks will turn out to be more important and cooperation -whatsoever the public rhetoric is- will shape the world.
Very well said, my thoughts exactly. We need not call attention to ourselves.
By year 2050, the Mexican population in the southern US states will be large enough to demand separation and rejoin Mexico, like 200 years ago.
Mexico will be larger than the US.
I worry one day Tibetans and Uiguren's population be more than Han Chinese when they keep producing. :D
This comment lacks any understanding of historical and economic context. As much as I would like it to be true, it emulates the commonly misstated belief that "the territory of the southern US should be part of Mexico because at some point in time it was".
By year 2050, the Mexican-AMERICAN population will probably be large enough to demand separation. However, these people will still be American citizens, who feel related to the US culture and values.
Also, these would be the children of immigrants that consciously decided leave Mexico. Why would they then want to annex the territory to Mexico? I doubt that their forefathers, while crossing the Rio Bravo, had in their mind any secret, patriotic political agenda related to bringing territories back to Mexico.
The southern US states were part of Mexico only for roughly 40 years (1821 to 1860's if I am not mistaken). These territories have been part of the US for around 150 years. Why insist that these territories are more Mexican than American?
"By year 2050, the Mexican population in the southern US states will be large enough to demand separation and rejoin Mexico"
Where is there a forecast stating that Mexican citizens would comprise 50% or more of a population of a state?
Or a combination of Mexican citizens and first generation Americans of Mexican decent?
What about forecasts of 60% of a state's population?
Considering secession is illegal and a super-majority would likely be required in the most optimistic cases for such a program.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace predicted that the US will be second in 2050. China ahead and India just behind.
PWC seems to suggest parity between the US and India in 2050. Depends on whether market exchange rates or PPP are employed.
the PWC report did have this conclusion, to your point:
"Indonesia and Mexico would also grow relatively rapidly, being larger than either Germany or the UK by 2050 (even at market exchange rates);"
By 2050 there will be a North American Union incorporating the U. S. Canada and Mexico.
Some in Mexico may not want the southern states back!
Culture is quite important for Mexicans! And well America's melting pot does an excellent job at Melting away your culture and replacing it with unbridled consumerism and a touch of xenophobia!
I have to agree with this very smart assessment. Mexico already has a hugely bad name in Anglo circles - even in the Economist they could come up with no better idea than some big sombreros - so better to go unnoticed and unmolested. Slowly and methodically gather economic strength while possibly pursuing a quiet return to sovereignty.

"The White House does not spend much time looking south."
This is a ridiculous statement and utter hyperbole!
First of all along with Mexico there are seven other Latin American countries who don't think they get enough attention from mommy (the USA obviously being the mommy in this metaphor). Then consider myriad nations in the middle east, Africa seeking parental indulgence, or throwing tantrums when they don't get it. Secondly, the USA is the world's leader in international development and humanitarian assistance.
The only outdated viewpoint is the Economist trying to dump all of the world's problem on the United States. Please stop casting the USA as the savior to every countries woes or policeman to every transgression.
Only Mexico and Canada share a border with the US. There is not a single country in the Middle East or Africa that has a higher long term strategic importance than Mexico, given its Emerging Country status and large population. Hopefully Americans will finally start to realize this.
Actually Canadians do mind. They just mostly have given up on the US because its so pointless, just gotta bend over and take it like the rest of the world. :(
I don't mind. Sort of like a New Jersey guy working as a cop in New York. Anything to expedite my cross border traffic. If only it was like travelling between France and Germany at 70mph. And we even speak the same language!(well almost)
Yeah but we still dont forgive you guys for stopping us legalizing weed, forcing us into invading Afghanistan, getting mad at us for not invading iraq, and forcing us to let your war criminals visit our country without fear of arrest :(
We consider ourselves a sovereign country while america only considers itself a sovereign country and doesnt respect anyone else. :(
I get you,Bush got angry with us for not supporting him at the UN to get permission to invade Iraq so he let us know there would be no way of an inmigration reform, we weren´t very hopeful to get it in the first place but that still was rude IMO :(
Most people do not have a truly historical perspective of how countries have evolved. Rather, they focus on the span of time comprised of the moment they started reading newspapers and paying attention a few years or decades ago, to the present. Very few pick up a book and read about the 200 year economic history of a country. Being one of those few that have in fact read (and written) books on the economic history of Mexico, I can assure you that Mexico has been rising for quite some time. Few people know that Mexico grew at the rate China is growing right now, but back in the 60s and 70s; it was even called the Mexican Miracle, and it was all over the news back then (except there was no Internet and therefore there was less hype).
Mexico barely survived the 19th century, was forged in fire at the start of the 20th century, and was consolidated as a political entity by the 70 year PRI rule. Yes, we had sever economic crises in the 80s and 90s, but in the great scheme of things, those will be blips on the graph in a thousand years.
Mexico is becoming a leading nation, migrating from the periphery to the core, thanks to the daily focus and persistence of millions of working Mexicans. Naysayers, clueless pundits, media that quote each other in circles, vociferous left wingers, crazy right wingers and Pentagon eggheads without field experience are of no consequence.
you could cut the first 7 lines about how everyone else is stupid and you are smart.....
Stupid? No. Just ignorant on the economic history of Mexico.
I believe what PermExpat was trying to say was "your post was nice and informative.....but you just came off as a bit of a pompous c*nt"
I AM a pompous c*nt.
You may have authored a "book-length" dissertation on Mexico's economic history but I highly doubt you have written any published book.
Are these the kind of books anyone would care to publish? Title?
My grandfather used to say that a well-educated man must be humble because he does not feel the need prove himself. I am of the opinion that humility should not be an obligation. If you don't want too be humble - then don't. You must however be prepared for the scrutiny and criticism of those souls less furtunate and educated than you. So, title? Can these books be found online?

I wonder what the respective U.S. and Mexican unemployment rates would look like if 33 million Mexicans went back home.
Are you willing to pick lettuces? Because most Americans are not. If the illegal farm workers leave the US, Americans will not take their places; rather, American farmers will go broke, and then the US would have to import the produce from Mexico anyways.
You'd still have the unemployment rate the same in the US since most of these jobs taken by the migrants are jobs Americans consider themselves too good to do! It's been proven time and again.
Rubbish! Wage rates will have to rise to attract the necessary workers. No more exploitation. A living wage for the lowliest workers, all without Obama's redistribution fanaticism.
I have dual nationality (US-Mexico) and live in Mexico. I followed your advice and came back looking for better opportunities down here. The business that I started in 2001 from zero will invoice over 80 million USD and next year I'm forecasting going over 100 million. My son goes to Reed College and grew up in Florida. He is considering moving to Mexico after finishing college since job opportunities for college graduates in the US are scarce. By the way I wasn't your lettuce picker or your gardener, I was part of the "1 %" (Lawyer with and MBA from a top school in the US) and still thought that had better chances here in Mexico and luckily for me my idea paid out.
I hope that more Mexican-Americans follow my path and I'm sure that they will as the article points out.
I wonder too as there are 9 million mexican citizens living in the US. I am not counting Selena Gomez, neither do Eva Longoria, nor Mitt Romney as they were born in the US.
With all due respect, you clearly do not understand economics. If wages where to rise for lettuce pickers, the price of American lettuce would go up, and stores would rather buy imported lettuce. As simple as that.
"Must" hardly works in economics. It usually just "is".
So your argument for being competitive economically, we should import illegal immigrants and let them do all the dirty works to keep the price down.
I´m not recommending policy, I´m just explaining how the economy works in the real world.
But I think you simplify the problem. You stop at the price of lettuce will go up so store will buy lettuce from Mexico purely based on labor cost. The problem is far way more complex than that. One could argue that even if the price of lettuce goes up, it would benefit the Mexicans. In return, the Mexicans would have more money to spend on our high tech products. As a result, we will employ more employees here in US. So when you stop short at just the price of lettuce, you gave the readers the impression that it is the ONLY outcome and hence we have to accept the fact that illegal immigrants should stay here for good.
Mexico's and the USA's economies are tangled, whether you like it or not.
Do you realize how many jobs on both sides of the border depend on the trade between these two countries?
It would be more beneficial for both countries if people like you spent less time whining about the allegedly job–stealing–dangerous–criminals–evil–tax–evaders–son–of–a–gun illegal immigrants, and more time on finding ways to increase trade between these two great nations.
Face it, deal with it and freaking accept it: illegal immigrants are not a real issue for the US. They are just a scapegoat for your troubles. It doesn't matter who you blame but as long as you point the finger to others, the US will continue to be deeply divided country in almost every important issue.
Have a nice day.
Are you willing to buy lettuce grown in Mexico? I am. It solves everyone's problems.
I hope they all follow you back to your home. Then we won't have to listen to your endless whining about "latino power".
Well since I live in Mexico, I do in fact buy lettuces grown here :)
As to your point, you can go ahead and buy Mexican lettuces to try to reduce illegal work migration. But you are doomed to fail; most people don´t think about that when they go buy groceries. Lettuce produced in the US by illegal workers will likely always be cheaper, just because of the logistics costs.
The 33 million figure includes American-born descendants as well as Mexicans citizens.
The companion article, "The Ebbing Mexican Wave" put the number of Mexican citizens residing in the US at 12 million.
You are forgetting about the grossly price distorting farm subsidies that the US government hands out to US farmers every year to the tune $30+ Billion US!
The Economist writes:
"The doorway for those imports is a 2,000-mile border, the world's busiest."
No, there is a busier one.
Most weapons in Mexican drug gangs come from Mexican army or police deserters, and were imported legally from China, Russia and the US.
Pot has been, for all intents and purposes, legal for personal use in Cali, Oregon and WA for years, but crime is still around drugs. Legalizing and taxing will just increase the price and still encourage crime. Liquor is legal, but moonshining is rampant in Appalachia.
"Most weapons in Mexican drug gangs come from Mexican army or police deserters, and were imported legally from China, Russia and the US."
I would like to see any evidence you may have.
There isn't any evidence because that statement is not true!
That is propaganda from the gun nuts at the NRA
Nonsense. Also how much organized crime is supported by moonshining? Close to zero is the answer.
Are you joking!? Or are you watching Fox News 24 hours a day!?
Even the CIA has said that 96% of all guns recovered in Mexico from drug gangs can be traced back to gun shops all over the US.
And all it takes for you to understand how the drug market works is to read Capitalism 101; where there is a market there will always be a supply.
"...even America's "wetback"-bashing Republicans should now see the need for immigration-law reform."
Says the guy who calls Mexican immigrants "border-hoppers".
I believe his reference to "border-hoppers" was in relation to those individuals who cross the border illegally not all Mexican immigrants as your posts seems to suggest.
This is a slur. It is derogatory and on the same level as "wetback". Its not less offensive because he was actually referring to illegal Mexican immigrants.
I am an British exchange student, studying in Mexico's leading private university....in relation to USA-Mexico relations, I read the situation as USA is a colonialist using Mexico's cheap labour, agriculture etc to keep Americans at home living a comfortable life at lower cost.....graduates aspire to work for Anglo-american companies, cinemas principally show Hollywood blockbusters i.e. the youth culture is americanised.
The outcome? Mexico is on the rise, and its growth will mean it will surpass G8 countries (maybe the UK within a couple of decades)but surpassing USA seems an unsurmontable challenge, in many areas of competition....so ingrained is the supremacy of USA in the minds of the Mexicans.
Also, I think Mexico needs to work on 'brand Mexico', finding other trade partners so it is not dependent on the USA lifeline. Mexico does not have its own voice in global politcs. Aside from the President, there are no recognisable figureheads for foreigners to recognise and associate with a Mexican identity. Before coming to Mexico, I did not know much about the country: what are Mexico's global brands? who's who?
Carlos Slim Helu arguably the world's richest man? Cemex?
Mexico's profile is not as high as others but not invisible either. In comparison let's compare with G8 Canada. Is there a Canadian business leader with as high a profile as Helu? Is Bell Canada more well known internationally than Cemex?
Different courses for different horses...Canada does not have a worldwide reputation for guns, drugs and dirty money. In fact its discreetly famous for safe banking, a good standard of life and great universities. 'Brand Canada' is grand.

There are a number of major Mexican companies which are global. Cemex for instance bought RMC in the UK and you can see Cemex's logo in all sorts of places in the UK. Like most emerging economies Mexico's companies are more present than well known.
The number of Mexican companies is usually in the top five by nationality when listings are produced of major emerging market companies. So there is progress in globalisation and growth by Mexican companies, albeit there is some way to go.
I personally find it funny how The Simpsons make fun of Canada.
Agreed! And I'm Canadian.
Here's the Simpsons-Canadian link:
And here's the Canadian-South Park link:
I believe Jon Stewart calls us the "gay relatives living in the attic".
Recently Colbert, when pondering how to take earth's temperature, stated that he didn't know where earth's rectum was, but postulated that it could be Windsor, Canada.
All in good fun. I consider it payback for Celine Dion and more recently "The Bieb's" and Carly Rae Jepsen.
If only Mexico were so lucky!
I am interested in knowing why you selected Mexico to study as an exchange student. Why Mexico and not other latin american country?

@GoGo. Is Slim the best you have from Mexico to show. Oh come on. A fortune make on exploiting rent taken from his ill-gotten monopoly on telcom.
Cemex on the other side: Respect!!!
But there is not much else to show, specially not in comparisson to Asian economies.
I had a choice between Spain, Mexico, Chile and Argentina. Spain's economic problems and high youth unemployment signalled to me the country was not a good place to learn about business opportunity. Argentina's Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was making noises over the Falkland Islands so I was worried about how I would be received as a Brit. Chile was my second choice, Mexico won ironically because of its close ties to USA meaning future opportunities to work and study in USA and because my university, ITESM is leading the LatAm region in engineering and IT, it was the first in the region with an internet connection.
"Also, I think Mexico needs to work on 'brand Mexico'"
I am also a Brit living in Mexico working as a Brand consultant and strategy coach. I totally agree that Mexico needs to work on "Brand Mexico". Following a generally positive outlook from the Economist, the majority of comments here are negative and inaccurate.
But if that is the perception of readers, the challenge for Mexico is to change that perception. So hats off to the Economist for making a start!
Perhaps I should add that the majority opinion of the business and marketing community I come into contact with is cautiously optimistic. But very aware of the challenges ahead; very aware that significant reforms will be required and very aware of the power of the vested interests (commercial and political) that are arrayed against those necessary reforms.
Peña Ñeto, the new president, is going to face an up hill struggle to get the Mexican economy growing at 6%.
There is definitely a huge need to improve "Brand Mexico" the problem I perceive with Mexico is that for most intents and purposes we only have 1 major customer, the USA, and Brand Mexico in the Eyes of the USA can not be improved. A few years ago I was going to purchase a Ford Vehicle.. And looking thru the online reviews kept seeing people saying don't buy this car because its built in Mexico and the implication there was clearly "this is a low quality vehicle" It turns out that the Ford Factory in Hermosillo Mexico has been Ford's highest quality factory worldwide for 7 years running.. When Jingoism, Xenophobia and pure ignorance are in the mix, it is a very hard thing to overcome.
Non-sense.... before you go back to Britain, try and get closer to the border up north (e.g., Monterrey). Most people in Northern Mexico would love to become Americans. This is not result of colonialism. It reflects cultural and social ties that dates back many decades.
In my opinion, the US should offer Mexico and other countries in Latin America (e.g., Panama) a path to become part of the USA. Most of the citizens of this countries would love the opportunity of becoming Americans. It would provide us with tremendous enconomic growth due to the sheer expansion of the economy and it would offer them the opportunity to be part of a country that offers a much more stable environment. Just ask around... if offered the choice, most Mexicans in the north would vote for annexation with the US.
As a Mexican living abroad.... I'd just return to Mexico IF the government is capable of bringing security and a sense of safety to the country.... All Latin American governments have shown to be incompetent and non capable of giving to the typical citizen security to go out and work without being afraid of goig back home without fearing for his/her life....
- When the crime rate becomes as stable as it was 60 years ago, then MAYBE I'd go back to Latin America...what happens there is as evil as what's going on in Syria or Gaza !
60 years ago? Do you mean when murder rates were about double the current level?
I don't deny the current situation is worryingly bad, you can't go out before thinking, do I look like a narco? Will people think I'm rich and target me? Am I going to a dangerous part of town? but it's not historically bad, and it's getting better.

is fine, stay where you are, matthew
Syria and Gaza? Really? We are not under bombardment over here, you know.
Don´t worry, when crime rates become stable all give you the "all clear" so you can come back.
Matthew has a legitimate concern. Mexico does have a serious security problem.
The problem is that violence is located around SOME north and south municipalities because of the drugtrade routes in conflict also, ppl often forget how really BIG is Mexico, Mexico is bigger than France, Germany, Spain and Portugal put together actually but is confused as if it were a very small nation, so naturaly when they see news of the contry they automatically think we are in a sort of "civil war" and really, that is pushing it out of reality.
The great majority of the country has been ok, just getting on with their lives. As with many countries, there are parts with higter crime than others, even inside cities so there is just a case of Knowing your surroundings, really. I live in little city in central Mexico.
IF you think you are better away and getting on with your live then is ok to stay away IMO, everyone should be when they feel fine and at peace.
double post
Matthew i really dont know if you can compare it to whats going on in Gaza at the moment. To be objective, i dont know whats going on in Mexico too, but currently the situation in Gaza and Syria is extreme
While many of the problems will take years to fix, Congress could fix one almost instantly and that would help several others, End the WAR on drugs.
Louisiana is the murder capital of the United States? Yikes!

If for any reason you get a nasty odor....just get rid of that piece....sometimes it just works out that way and it does not cure right
You would be foolish to cure meat without first knowing how to properly adjust the pH levels and Water Activity. Salt, and Nitrates, nitrites, and bacterial cultures are what will make the necessary adjustments for you. Temperature and humidity also have a huge role. Research would serve you well before you attempt any sort of dry curing. You could make someone very ill, or even kill them!
or even as long as a year when it comes to prosciutto. Also you are dealing with a very toxic substance to cure meats (Sodium nitrites/nitrates) Cure#1 & Cure#2 require only 4 ounces to cure 100 pounds of meat, the active ingredient in these curing compounds are only 6.25% of the total make-up of the cure. you use too much and it is poisonous, you use too little and you have a god chance of growing botulism in that meat.

The 60 Sq Foot cork roll we will ship to you is 3 Ft wide and 20 Ft long. You can order any combination of rolls you need. We have 4 configurations of R60 all made in the same factory and the same thickness; the only difference is size of the rolls
Our Premium Cork underlayment is 1/4 inch (6mm) thick and is sold in full rolls in 3 sizes or you can order item 711295 by the Square Foot. and we cut it to order (full rolls cost less than cut to order).
You can then cut the cork to fit any configuration, as it cuts easily with a utility knife.
We offer the R-60 cork in full rolls in 3 sizes which saves you money. If you choose 711295, we cut it to order and you pay more for us to handle it for you !
Manufactured by Amorim Industrial Solutions, the pioneer of cork underlayment for sound control, thermal insulation and protection against stress cracks, our products have been in use since the 1980's.
The R60 (6mm = .236 about 1/4 inch) is a thermal barrier as well as an acoustical barrier and will also prevent stress cracks in the tile floor. With the highest density on the market for any cork underlayment making it a very durable product, R60 will not "give" causing cracks to form. It is Safe, tested, and designed for use under tile floors. Inferior cork products are often from a different species of Cork and made in China and require use of epoxy grout; but NOT AcoutiCORK R60.
The cork is adhered to the clean & dry concrete slab using either Thinset Mortar (preferred & best method - the same thinset used to install the tile) or an approved adhesive (see instructions) With an R-Value of 3.1 per inch the cork acts as a "thermal Break" and slows the heat transfer into a concrete slab sub floor when placed on top of the slab. The heating elements are then installed on TOP of the cork, and secured with tape or glue and then covered with thinset mortar while installing your tile or stone floor. Cork Insulating underlay cannot be used in a shower floor or outdoors.
Our Cork is specifically designed and engineered for use under tile or stone floors. It's tested and there are hundreds of millions of Square feet installed in successful installations worldwide. Why risk using an inferior cork to save a few dollars? Choose R-60 from Warm Your Floor.
