Book excerpt: The twin cities of Laredo can stand as a beacon of wealth for some and a cauldron of despair to others. Ernesto Acosta, Los Zenetas top sicario, is currently caught somewhere in between. That dichotomy describes Ernesto Acosta's life almost perfectly. Acosta's early years were rife with pitfalls, from the death of his mother to the constant school problems. Even after his father was murdered, the streets became his refuge as an escape from his aunt's clutches. Ernesto found his calling early in life, willing to fight anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Why not, he was good at it, making sure who ever he fought never wanted to fight him again. His second calling was his willingness to learn, to adapt; taking tutelage from the drug gangs that ravaged to nation. He quickly adapted to the brutality that the cartels unleashed on a daily basis, inflicting new and innovative acts of terror on Los Zenetas enemies while expanding the legend of Ernesto Acosta. Somewhere along the way the complications start to mount. Acosta soon finds himself caught up in a war that he neither started, nor wanted. His boss, Victor 'Casper' Guzman, head of Los Zenetas cartel, has ordered Acosta to avenge the murder of his nephew. This sets of a series of assassination's that soon reveals a picture that threatens to tear Los Zenetas apart, pitting Acosta against his boss. Adding more fuel to the fire, while the American DEA start to dismantle Los Zenetas top lieutenants one at a time and the Mexican government threatens to send in the Army to stop the Cartel's violent outburst, Acosta discovers his boss might be responsible for his father's murder.Of course this was very hard for Acosta to fathom, but the clues keep mounting. With a new reality hitting Acosta squarely in the face in the form of a failed assassination attempt, he sets off on a quest to bring down Los Zenetas by any means necessary. Starting with the murder of Felix 'Tiny' Reyes, head of the Tijuana drug Cartel and Cesar Castro, head of the Gulf Cartel, Acosta exacts his revenge. His piece de resistance comes in the form of an assassination attempt on President Rivera, The President of Mexico. Tearing apart the fabric of society on both sides of the border has finally caught up with Los Zenetas and its boss, Casper. The Nation of Mexico comes to grips with the threat at its doorstep and the Los Zenetas Cartel becomes public enemy number 1. As the walls close in Acosta confronts Casper and his sister, Alicia. The final confrontation leads to a multitude of revelations that end in a blaze of gunfire. Will Ernesto Acosta survive or will he be just another criminal whose time ran out?

Download or read book Nonprofits and Their Networks written by Daniel M. Sabet and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the border of the United States and Mexico, few policy issues face such acute challenges as those related to water. Border cities face an uncertain future water supply, low-income neighborhoods often lack water and sewer services, and water contamination poses a risk to the health of residents and the environment. Responses by government agencies on both sides of the border have been insufficient. Increasing economic development has mainly resulted in increasing problems. These limitations of government and market forces suggest that nonprofit organizations—the so-called “third sector”—might play an important role in meeting the growing challenges in the region. Finding that these organizations do have a positive impact, Daniel Sabet seeks to understand how autonomous nonprofit organizations have emerged and developed along the border. He employs data from more than 250 interviews with members of civil society organizations and public officials, surveys of neighborhood association leaders, observations at public meetings, and many secondary sources. His research compares the experiences of third-sector organizations in four prominent Mexican border cities: Tijuana, Nogales, Ciudad Juárez, and Nuevo Laredo. Sabet finds that political change is a necessary precondition for the establishment of an independent third sector. The demise of one-party rule in Mexico has given nonprofit organizations greater opportunities to flourish, he finds, but persistent informal rules still obstruct their emergence and development. Sabet concludes that the success of the third sector will depend on the organizations’ networks. He examines organizational ties to three key groups—U.S. nonprofits, the business community, and government-created methods for public participation—and evaluates the importance of these connections for the future.
