Gluck's insider-out view of Hasidism has a generic relationship to the documentaries A Life Apart (in which she appeared) and Trembling Before G-d. But this charming first-person account of the filmmaker's trip to Hungary to retrieve a family heirlooma couch upon which, one late 19th-century Sabbath, a legendary rebbe passed the nightis delightfully indirect. "You're gonna do for that couch what nobody since Freud has done," a friend teases Gluck. The filmmaker makes no secret that her obsessive quest is meant to gain the approval of her religious father. After all, to retell the story of a Hasidic rebbe is itself a meritorious deed. But Divan is more fundamentally a form of self-knowledge. The movie's postmodern punchline enables its shrewd young maker to create her own tradition.
At once precocious autobiography, vivid travelogue through back-of-beyond Eastern Europe (land of Jewish ruins and graveyards), and sly wonder-tale, Divan constantly comments on itself. The filmmaker's voice is augmented by a chorus of similarly reinvented breakaways perched on the sacred couch. There's a noisy confessor on every street corner, but Gluck waxes personal without ever seeming narcissistic. Warmhearted but unsentimental, touching but not mawkish, clever but never cute, Divan is almost miraculously modest.

From the PublisherRadical Reform is sure to stimulate discussions and debate in many intellectual circles." —American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
Tariq Ramadan has emerged as one of the foremost voices of reformist Islam in the West, notable for urging his fellow Muslims to participate fully in the civil life of the Western societies in which they live. In this new book, Ramadan addresses Muslim societies and communities everywhere with a bold call for radical reform. He challenges those who argue defensively that reform is a dangerous and foreign deviation, and a betrayal of the faith. Authentic reform, he says, has always been grounded in Islam's textual sources, spiritual objectives, and intellectual traditions. But the reformist movements that are based on renewed reading of textual sources while using traditional methodologies and categories have achieved only adaptive responses to the crisis facing a globalizing world. Such readings, Ramadan argues, have reached the limits of their usefulness.
Ramadan calls for a radical reform that goes beyond adaptation to envision bold and creative solutions to transform the present and the future of our societies. This new approach interrogates the historically established sources, categories, higher objectives, tools, and methodologies of Islamic law and jurisprudence, and the authority this traditional geography of knowledge has granted to textual scholars. He proposes a new geography which redefines the sources and the spiritual and ethical objectives of the law creating room for the authority of scholars of the social and hard sciences. This will equip this transformative reform with the spiritual, ethical, social and scientific knowledge necessary to address contemporary challenges. Ramadan argues that radical reform demands not only the equal contributions of scholars of both the text and the context, but the critical engagement and creative imagination of the Muslim masses. This proposal for radical reform dramatically shifts the center of gravity of authority. It is bound to provoke controversy and spark debate among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Ramadan, author and research fellow at Oxford University who in a cause célèbre has been repeatedly denied a visa to the U.S., presents a deft and timely call for radical change in the way Muslim scholars interpret and apply their central texts. Ramadan believes in an integrative approach-one that marries a reinvigorated theological, values-based approach with a spiritually realistic understanding of contemporary everyday problems. For instance, family planning through contraception is acceptable within Islam and also practical considering economic difficulties faced by Muslims in developing countries. Maintaining that Muslim scholars were once very open to creative approaches, he argues that they have now become more insular and less educated, especially in their views toward women. Ramadan's point-that the world continues to change and requires a second look at the Qur'an and other Islamic texts to keep pace-is well taken. His insistence that scientific findings are also part of God's revelation and should be included in Islamic analysis is consistent with the Qur'an. Ramadan's newest book is an exciting read because it envisions a way for Muslims to be modern without turning their backs on their religion.

Ramadan is an amazing hope for turning our backs on persecution and terrorism as a world in general. He is not currently banned as a terrorist because the allegations against him were unproven as falsehoods spread by his detractors on both extremes. He is, however, banned in many Muslim countries because he asks Muslims to think and demand that they act as constructive citizens, and demand democracy. The book is one of his many such thoughtful discourses.

Liiv sacrifice caves / Libiesu upuralas
There you can see the longest and naturally formed caves in Latvia. They are more than 45 meters long, however it's not recommended to creep into the caves. In old times here was ancient cult place for Liivs, although during many years researchers found here many coins and different antiquities. During landslide nowadays one can see here two caves.Related to:

Veczemji red cliffs / Veczemju sarkanas klintis
These are one of the beautiful cliffs in Latvia. They are more than five meters high and in the cliffs you can see more niches in different sizes. I wouldn't recommend creeping into the cliff, because they are protected. You can see the beauty of the cliffs in their colours, which are from yellow to dark red. If you're here in early spring, you can see many springs, which come from the top of cliffs.Related to:

Attractions near Birinu castle
Here are large castle complex where are located the same castle, lake, crypt and gardens. You can easily spend here half of the day walking and watching around. Last summer when I was there, I saw some kind of birds, like guinea-fowl, who wanted to attack me when I tried to speak with him, and swans in the nearest lake. You can also see here ponies which are very kind and if you have children then probably ride with them.Related to:

The big Laucu stone
The big Laucu stone is located in seaside of Vidzeme. It's not the largest stone in Latvia despite this stone's sizes. It's two meters high, and for taking pictures you can easily climb it up. More than sixty tons weighty stone some centuries ago has washed ashore up. It is said it came from Finland.Related to:

Birinu castle
This soft rose-colored Bīriņu castle is one of my favorites in that region. This current castle is built at the end of 19th century in neo-gothic style. And for that time the castle was very impressive building. The first owner of the castle was Johan Biring, possibly from his surname the castle name derived. During next centuries many owners have been there both counts, and barons.
Above the entrance there is plaque with inscription in Latin language: "Relinque infantibus amorem patriae", which means: "I leave to the future generations fatherland's love".
Near castle complex there is parking place for cars and to enter the castle you need to by ticket.Related to:

If you have a passion for exploring literature, culture, history and society, our American and Canadian Studies and English BA is the perfect degree programme for you. In your multidisciplinary study of North America you will explore the dynamic characteristics of the US and Canada - from analysing American film to studying the workings of Washington, from studying book illustrations to reading modern American fiction, from examining the War on Terror to considering slavery and its legacies.
On the English side of your programme you can choose to follow either a Literature or Language pathway throughout the three years of the programme. If you choose to follow the Literature pathway you will explore the written word from medieval to modern times, investigating the ways in which the literary culture of the English-speaking world throughout history has engaged with and shaped society. If you choose to follow the Language pathway, your English study will provide you with a deep understanding of the way in which the English language works and, more generally, the linguistic, social and political issues surrounding language and its use. Both disciplines interrelate very well with the study of American and Canadian Studies; opportunities to integrate the two subjects in your programme include the option of writing a lengthy final-year 'link' Dissertation with joint supervision from the two Departments.

Seasonal Greetings – and end of year round up....
This is the very last blog and the last newsletter for 2012, which was the sixth year of MRN's work.
It is a good time to thank everyone with whom we have had the opportunity to work over the course of the past 12 months, and sketch out some ideas on what the big issues are likely to be in 2013.
Amongst the many highlights for our work over the past twelve months have been the work we've been able to do with the GMB and its regional organisers across the country, helping them to draw up plans for the recruitment of migrants and drawing them more closely into the work of the union. This involved ten separate meetings in the union's main regions and the opportunity to work with over 200 officials and activists.
Understanding the immigration policy discussion in Scotland has never been so important, particularly with a referendum on independence now planned for 2014. Our colleagues in Migrants Rights Scotland have been our indispensible guide at every step in the way on this matter, and an invitation to participate in one of their roundtable events is an important moment in every year for us. This took place in Glasgow March this year and continued via the internet throughout the rest of 2012. Watch these blogs for more news about major events in Scotland on migration throughout 2013.
We also want to thank the over 65 organisations who joined us for our national network meeting this year. The day of intensive discussion allowed us to form plans for activity on legal services to migrants, challenges to family reunion, and a range of other issues which we have been acting on during the course of the year.
MRN has always been aware that there are more ways to think about immigration than just in political and economic terms. The opportunity to participate in Human Rights Watch's annual film festival as sponsors of films with immigration themes is one of the ways we do this and we were glad to continue this tradition in 2012.
We were particularly proud of the work we were able to do with community arts activists on the London Borough of Brent, with the Belonging and Belongings exhibition which took place in Willesden Library in June. More of this is planned for 2013, when the work moves to Deptford, in south east London.
Over the course of the past two years we have worked hard to foster relations with Members of Parliament and Peers who want to develop intelligent, informed opinion on the issue of migration. We have done this by working with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Migration. APPG Migration organised five well-attended discussion events in Parliament during the course of the year, dealing with such themes as economic policy and migration, the provisions of legal advice services, trade with Commonwealth countries, family migration policy and the position of international students. It also organised very successful fringe events at the Labour and Conservative Party conferences.
In addition to everyone we worked with to make these successful events in 2012 we can also report that our 'bread and butter' work of maintaining commentary on immigration policy developments on our website was maintained throughout the year, with over 190 blogs reporting on policy developments and campaigning initiatives. These went our each week to over 4,000 subscribers to our newsletter as well being read by the 30,000 unique visits to the website each month. These have also been relayed to MRN's 5,200 Twitter followers, and 2,500 Facebook fans.
Our final campaign in 2012 was around the 'Our Day' effort to get a higher profile for International Migrants Day, which takes every year on 18 December. Thanks to the 54 organisations who supported this initiative, all those people (well over 200 and counting...) who posted pictures of themselves and their friends holding 'Our Day' posters, the 40 MPs who signed an early day motion marking International Migrants Day, and the people who organised 14 events in December using the 'Our Day' logo.
To all of you, including all the people who have followed our work over this past year, our sincere thanks. Stay with us in 2013 – we promise even more in the way of activism, campaigns, and great events and ideas!
Until then, a happy, peaceful Festive time to you all, and the very best for 2013.

Plot-twisting puzzlers are a bubble market in the movies these days, with an arms race of "Inception"-like reality reversals that flip like a coin until dizzy audiences lose all interest in how it lands.
That's certainly the case with Danny Boyle's "Trance," a mind-bending neo-noir with continually shifting layers but little beyond its flashy plot machinations. The movies used to be content to be the stuff of dreams. Now they aim for hypnosis, limbo and headache-inducing dreams within dreams. Advil might soon replace popcorn.
"Trance" starts promisingly enough. James McAvoy is Simon, a London auctioneer who describes the emergency protocol of the high-end auction house "in the event of an event." As he does so, such an event is under way: A well-planned gang led by Frank (the excellent Vincent Cassel) brazenly attempts to steal Francisco Goya's "Witches in the Air."
Simon attempts to foil the heist, but we soon realize he's in on the plot, too. But something has gone awry. A blow to the head has sapped Simon of his memory, leading the crew to enlist a hypnotist (Rosario Dawson) to elicit the location of the missing painting from Simon's banged-up brain.
This is, naturally, when the script by Joe Ahearne and John Hodge begins to play with Simon's hypnosis. The movie drifts in and out of consciousness, guided by Dawson's silky voice. Is Simon our protagonist or villain? Is Elizabeth Lamb (Dawson) pulling out Simon's memories or implanting them? Pubic hair, you will be happy to learn, figures prominently in the answers to these questions.
Boyle and his cinematographer, Anthony Dod Mantle, saturate the film with reflected images and a sleek, colorful palate. "Trance" is never more than a minute away from a striking image, though the glassy, frenetic compositions only heighten the movie's lack of depth.
It's Dawson's fleshy, commanding presence that helps melt the right angles of "Trance." Her character gradually moves to the forefront of the film, such that you might mutter "James McA who?" by the time she, like a goddess, disrobes. But before a full picture of Elizabeth arrives, the movie's succession of implausible trap doors has rendered any big reveal about as satisfactory as a punch line to a 20-minute-long knock-knock joke.

Oil India Ltd (OIL), the energy exploration company which saw a sharp fall in crude production last fiscal due to strikes in Assam, is hoping to achieve 3.7 million metric tonne (mmt) of output in the current fiscal, the management guided in its first-quarter earnings call.
OIL gets most of its crude oil production from Assam, but operations were effected last year due to renewed protests for a separate Bodoland state. As a result, its crude oil production fell to 3.5 mmt last fiscal from 3.7 mmt in 2012-13.
The company had missed production targets earlier too due to frequent protests. It produced 3.7 mmt of crude oil in 2012-13 against a target of 3.95 mmt, of which 3.64 mmt was from Assam.
In the earnings call, OIL management indicated it was upbeat on Assam production this year. "There is considerably lower disturbance in Assam now. We have taken up several CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities, and are confident to achieve our production target," said Rupshikha Saikia Borah, director (finance).
During the first quarter of this fiscal, OIL's crude oil production target was 864,350 tonne while actual production stood at 835,449 tonne, achieving about 96.66% of the target.
Analysts, however, see 3.7 mmt too huge a target to achieve considering OIL's current production run rate. Most analysts expect lower production of around 3.6 mmt for their calculations. "In Q1, OIL's total crude oil output was 0.844 mmt, which translates in to annual production of 3.36 mmt. So if the company wants to achieve the target of 3.7 mmt, it will have to produce 0.95 mmt of crude oil in every quarter of the current fiscal, which looks difficult considering the strikes dampening its production," Dhaval Joshi, analyst with Emkay Global Financial said.
He, however, said that even if the company manages to achieve 3.5-3.6 mmt of oil output in current fiscal it will be a big positive for its profitability. "While crude production has recovered somewhat QoQ, we expect full year crude production to be well below management target of 3.7 mmt - our estimate is 3.55 mmt. Gas price hike and positive news on subsidy share would be the key catalysts," Ratings agency Jefferies said in a note.
"We are moving our resources to developing fields and strategically locating wells to get more production," Borah said on the company's plan to achieve the target.
Brokerage KR Choksey said that the company's production in fiscals 2013 and 2014 was down (nearly 5.5% YoY) because of disruptions due to employment related strikes. "However, the matter is largely resolved now and we expect fiscals 2015 and 2016 production to grow at 5-8%."
The company is sitting on cash reserves of Rs 9,400 crore. In the current fiscal it hopes to spend Rs 3,000 crore on the capex, which will be mainly utilised for exploration drilling at Mizoram and Krishna Godavari D6. The company may consider an acquisition of around Rs 5,000 crore. "We can look at overseas acquisition but not as large as Mozambique one," the company said in the earnings call.
OIL has domestic acreage of over 88,927 sq km in over 55 oil and gas blocks, and has international acreage of 71,126 sq km. However, most of its assets are concentrated in North-east India, which accounts for its entire crude oil production and 90% of its gas production. Rajasthan is the only other producing area, contributing around 10% of its total gas production.
The company has participating interests in exploration blocks in Ganga valley, Mahanadi offshore, Mumbai offshore, and Krishna Godavari offshore in India and also has participating interests in various overseas projects in the US, Venezuela, Gabon, Egypt, Iran, Libya, Nigeria, Timor Leste and Yemen.

The late Katrin Cartlidge stars as the titular high-end Manhattan call girl seeking a new life in this 1998 film from the adventurous Lodge Kerrigan (Keane). Among the supplements: an audio introduction by critic Kent Jones and a booklet featuring an essay by Voice staffer Michael Atkinson.
The Ice Harvest
One of last year's best, this first-rate noir comedy stars John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton as a pair of Wichita swindlers trying to relieve the local mob of $2 million on Christmas Eve. Skillfully scripted by veterans Robert Benton and Richard Russo, this is the type of genre throwback bid that almost never works anymore. The cast (which also includes Connie Nielsen, Oliver Platt, and Randy Quaid) is uniformly excellent, with Billy Bob, at his sociopathic best, the standout. Extras include audio commentary by director Harold Ramis.

The Animated Feature category may be the strongest at this week's Oscars, featuring Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle, Corpse Bride from the suddenly resurgent Tim Burton, and (the probable winner) this witty and humane stop-motion delight by Nick Park and Steve Box about a scatterbrained inventor and his brow-furrowing dog. The disc is loaded with special features, including deleted scenes with commentary and the short film Stagefright.

Ben Graham, the father of Value Investing and teacher of Warren Buffett, was also a successful investor in 20th century. The four bread and butter strategies, employed by his firm, the Graham-Newman corporation between 1926 and 1956 included arbitrages, related hedges, liquidations and Net-Current-Asset or Bargain issues. Today I will provide a brief overview of the Bargain Issues strategy and provide some current stock picks.
The main goal with the bargain issues was to purchase shares in companies for less than two thirds of their asset values at prices that a private owner might pay at an acquisition. The fact that investors paid less than two thirds of the net working capital for the bargain stocks provided a margin of safety to those shareholders. Furthermore Graham-Newman strived to maintain a diversified portfolio of these Net Current Asset stocks, sometimes holding as much as one hundred of those issues which were worth considerably more than what they are selling for. Experience had taught Graham that few stocks are ultimately worth less than their net current assets minus the total liabilities.
Using this screen from GrahamInvestor.com site I came out with the following list of 40 bargain stocks ( You could also open the list from this link):
It's interesting to note that there are two builders – Beazer Homes and Standard Pacific. It's definitely suspect whether their inventories could be sold at the levels that they keep on their books. The rest of the issues include stocks with low trading volumes. Furthermore most of the stocks on the list are losing money. It would be interesting to see how these enterprises perform over the next two years.

40 Value Stocks that Graham Would Buy

That is an interesting but jumbled site. The intermixture of thinly traded stocks renders the screen and its list of stocks useless without considerable further work and interpretation. Most important, I note that although they have a "Performance" tab, they last updated their performance in September, 2007.
Thanks for submitting this post for the upcoming Festival of Stocks. Please consider supporting the Festival of Stocks by volunteering to host an upcoming edition. See http://www.valueinvestingnews.com/festival-of-stocks for details. Contact me if you can help.ReplyDelete
The 40 stocks in the list are from a strategy that Ben Graham used to employ for years, which apparently made him double digit returns for many years. I would like to see if the group as a whole outpeforms the market over the next 2 years.
I do agree that the stocks are thinly traded, which is probably why they are so undervalued in the first place.
I am considering hosting the Festival. Thanks for the heads up!
I have a basic question about NET-NETS. How do you define Total Liabilities??
I add all current and long term liabilities for that amount.
I think it is an insult to Graham to assume that he would invest in these stocks based on a few simple indicators. A 2 minute look at the most recent quarterly of the first, and only, stock on the list that I looked at, ASFI, reveals what a terrible position the company is in. The company purchases non performing consumer receivables. It has about $500MM of these receivables which it calls assets. Additionally, the company holds 2.8MM in cash and 3.8 in restricted cash. Additionally, the company has $250MM in debt. A VERY conservative estimate of interest payments would be $12MM a year. There you have it. The company will soon be out of cash and will have to sell its so called half billion dollars in asset for five to ten cents on the dollar, as no one would pay more in this economy. Just to pay this years interest payments they lose $80MM-$160MM of their so called assets. Even in good conditions you can not assume the $500MM is worth anywhere near that. Graham would call purchasing this stock a speculation rather than an investment. It is more important to understand Grahams philosophy than his indicators. That is why Warren Buffet has declared Grahams book, The Intelligent Investor, as the greatest book on investing and not his other book, Security Analysis. I recommend you read both. He states very clearly, numerous times, that you must very carefully analyze the spreadsheets and publications of any company before investing in it. The indicators are just a good way to begin your search. In fact, he states if you are not going to put in the effort and time to fully analyze a company before buying it, you are best off buying a handful of time tested, major US companies with stable earnings and an acceptable price rather than stock picking. You should not spread information like this to others unless you fully understand what you are talking about yourself. You may cause others to lose wealth. Try to learn, let Graham be the teacher.ReplyDelete
The 40 stock list is not a recommendation to buy. As a matter of fact however, in his book " The Intelligent Investor" Graham mentions how a portfolio of net-nets has outperformed the market for many years. Furthermore he provides a detailed example containing many net-nets from 1957 to 1959 and claims that this list has outperformed the market.
While his methods could be subject to anyones interpretation, I will tell you for a fact to go re-read the book you are so viciously trying to show I haven't read yourself and see his examples of the strategy all over the book. Graham mentions on several occasions how a portfolio of stocks trading below their ncav has outperformed the markets.
Now i do agree with you that blindly purchasing a portfolio fo stocks without any research is not a good idea.
- Graham SmithFebruary 18, 2013 at 10:12 PM
Hi, I recently discovered your blog, and enjoy it very much. You might like to know that as at 19 February 2013, not including dividends, this portfolio would have returned the equivalent of 22% p.a. since your post.ReplyDelete
JDI411 might like to note, that ASFI has experienced growth of 97% p.a. since your post!
Graham did mention how proper diversification was an important part of this strategy. Of your 40 stocks 12 have declined in value, of which 4 have reduced to zero or effectively zero such as LKI. Very interesting result!

THR Ranks Hollywood's 25 Most Powerful Stylists
A styling veteran, Ehrlich is a rarity in that she juggles stylish Hollywood award winners such as Penelope Cruz and Amy Adams along with fashion "It" girls from Allison Williams to Jessica Pare. And credit Ehrlich for Tina Fey's geek-to-chic makeover, including this year's Golden Globes triumph, where the night's co-host appeared in two custom L'Wren Scott gowns.
Cruz, Adams, Williams, Pare, Fey, Kyra Sedgwick, Ashley Greene
Two type A's are better than one: Ehrlich and Girls actress Williams immediately bonded when the rising starlet arrived with a binder in hand for their first meeting. "I showed her all of these things that I'd been pulling out of magazines for years," says Williams. "She was very polite." Williams' dream was to wear Oscar de la Renta on the red carpet; Ehrlich cautioned her it could take a while to land the spoils of such a major designer. But with Ehrlich on the case, it happened after only three months. "Wearing the Oscar dress at the Emmys was really special," says Williams of her sculpted emerald peplum gown.

The Master nominee Adams saved the best for last this awards season, stepping out in a frothy dove-gray ballgown, also Oscar de la Renta, at the Oscars. Ehrlich also loved Williams' cap-sleeve brocade Valentino gown for the Vanity Fair party. "It was pretty major."
Bandages by Compeed to combat killer stilettos. "I discovered them in Europe," says Ehrlich. "They're like a second skin and really do protect the areas where blisters tend to form."
CE by Cristina Ehrlich is sold exclusively on QVC; she's also the brand ambassador for women's apparel retailer Coldwater Creek and Pandora jewelry.

The pump was leaking through a small portal on the front. I do not know what purpose the portal which was covered served...but that was the portal (half moon shaped) that was leaking. I decided to try and glue it with poly epoxy...glued it once, checked for water leak and then added more glue..waited overnight for glue to dry. I reinstalled the glued pump and it is working fine. The new pump is now on my shelf for backup. Taking the old one off and reinstalling is no problem. follow suggestions of others at this site.

12 September 2013 15:44 [Source: ICIS news]
BOSTON (ICIS)--Chris Lafakis, senior economist with Moody's Analytics, presented on Thursday a comforting outlook for the US economy in the coming years, projecting that GDP will grow at 3% in 2013 and up to 4% in 2015.
Mr. Lafakis was speaking at the 6th ICIS World Chemical Purchasing Summit held in Boston, Massachusetts.
Among the reasons cited for the outlook, Lafakis said that fiscal headwinds are peaking and businesses are thriving. Profitability is currently at record levels.
Another major reason is that households are rapidly deleveraging. Money lending has been tight, so people are just paying off debt.
The US banking system is better capitalised than its competitors. The infusion of money derived from the bust of 2008 and lending decline has left banks in good shape.
Banks are more likely to start lending now after the austerity imposed by the 2008 recession.
Additionally, housing is fairly valued in the US today after losses of more than 30% in the recession years. This puts the recovery in a better footing. Housing is one of the largest multipliers for the economy.
Housing affordability is currently at the highest levels since 1980, Lafakis said. This will contribute to the recovery of the construction business, although housing starts may not reach 2007 levels yet.
However, there are also some risks looming. Interest rates are rising fast since the Fed is hinting to end stimulus to the economy and restore rates to "normal" levels.
Household income has declined in the last five years when adjusted for inflation but this may ease, Lafakis said.
Companies have done a lot of cost cutting, but in the end, growth will have to come from expansion and that means hiring more workers.
Companies are posting more openings, but they are not hiring very rapidly. The unemployment rate is coming down, but not as fast as expected, and this may have an impact on the forecast.
About the state of the world economy, Lafakis said that Europe's credit spigot must open. Corporate and household loans are falling. The European banking sector is not as well capitalized as the US. European banks are not as profitable as US counterparts.
Countries faring well, such as Germany, still have low investment rates despite high savings. It is expected that the eurozone will lag the US and Japan economies going into 2015 and beyond.
Emerging economies will be settling into lower rates of growth, Lafakis said.
China is expected to have 7.5% growth in coming years - what is now considered sustainable. BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) will have a hard time growing at 2006-2007 rates. They will still grow, but not as fast.
A second wave of emerging markets may come from Eastern Europe or South Africa, Lafakis said, but this may likely be in 2020 or beyond.
The 6th ICIS World Chemical Purchasing Summit continues until Friday.

Carl Soderberg, a healthy scratch all postseason, practiced Friday at TD Garden in a 'Merlot' jersey of the fourth line. Kaspars Daugavins, who's been in the lineup since Gregory Campbell's injury, wore a green jersey and didn't participate in 3-on-3 battle drills at the end of practice.
The Bruins may be about to unleash the Swede.
Carl Soderberg, a healthy scratch all postseason, practiced Friday at TD Garden in a 'Merlot' jersey of the fourth line. Kaspars Daugavins, who's been in the lineup since Gregory Campbell's injury, wore a green jersey and didn't participate in 3-on-3 battle drills at the end of practice.
It's an indication that Soderberg could play Saturday night in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Chicago with Daugavins taking a seat.
"I don't know if I'm playing yet," Soderberg said. "That will be amazing to play in a Stanley Cup game."
Soderberg was a late addition to the Bruins this season. He spent most of the year playing for HC Linkoping in the Swedish Elite League. The season ended in early April and, after difficult negotiations with the Swedish national federation to allow him to come to the NHL, he joined the Bruins on April 17 and played in six regular-season games, notching two assists.
He struggled to adapt to the Bruins – who played him at wing before switching him to his natural center position – the North American style and the smaller size of NHL rinks. Several times he seemed to be surprised when he approached the boards.
He hasn't played since April 28 and has remained with the Bruins as an extra forward since. He says he's more comfortable now after getting time to ingratiate himself with his situation.
"It's been 11 weeks now, so I've been getting to know the system," Soderberg said. "I haven't played in a little while, but if I'm playing there are things I'm doing well. I know everything."
If he plays, it will have been 55 days.
Daugavins struggled in Game 3 when he committed a bad penalty by elbowing Andrew Shaw high and took himself offsides. He was held to nine shifts for 5:57 of ice time in Wednesday's Game 4 overtime loss.
Claude Julien has essentially gone with 10 forwards against the Blackhawks with Daugavins and Shawn Thornton getting reduced minutes and Rich Peverley playing a "utility" role as an extra forward.
Soderberg brings more high-end skill than Daugavins, but if he plays he would also likely receive similar monitored ice time.
Julien said there's been no decision of Soderberg's status.
"Just trying something else here," he said. "I'll make that decision tomorrow. But just get a different look on what they would look like, that's all."
On their way
The Bruins had a team sendoff at TD Garden on Friday to see the team off to Chicago.
Page 2 of 2 - Fans congregated in the parking lot. Several players signed autographs before boarding buses headed for the airport. A few hundred fans showed up on a sun-splashed day.
"It's great. It shows big support," Zdeno Chara said. "They're behind us through the whole playoffs. We really appreciate it." ...
Marian Hossa didn't practice Friday in Chicago, but is expected to play Saturday.
"Hossa is fine," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville told reporters in Chicago.
Hossa missed Game 3 with an undisclosed injury and returned for Game 4, but lacked his usual explosiveness. He played 29 shifts for 19:07 of ice time and had one assist. ...
Friday was the first day of summer. Forecasts in Chicago called for a high of 88 degrees Sunday with thunderstorms in the morning.
There were thunderstorms in Boston before Game 3 Monday. The muggy atmosphere made for bad playing conditions, with Dennis Seidenberg saying the ice felt like "sandpaper" trying to swing the stick blade.
The air conditioning was noticeably turned up Wednesday at the Garden for Game 4 and it became a frigid building.
"Hopefully it won't be warm in the area," Johnny Boychuk said with a laugh. "Hopefully they've got the AC turned down."

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Still, what Metallica do--essentially brood, at top speed and volume--they do supremely well, bludgeoning their sullen audience with precise and thunderous martial sonics and appropriately bleak lyricism. Metallica are more like masons than musicians, pounding and chipping away; indeed, singer James Hetfield has something of the quality of statuary. And, haughtiness notwithstanding, they've always managed to resist being sucked into one of rock's deepest-held and most dangerous convictions: the idea that the output of bands needs to grow and change over time. Re-Load, Metallica's "new" album, was mostly written two years ago, at the same time as Load, then held for release. Blowing the lid off the time=growth=art fallacy, it's actually the better LP, with more speedmetal, anthemic choruses, weedle-wee solos, and cumbersomely worded lyrics.
"Fuel," "Bad Seed," "Unforgiven II," "The Memory Remains," and "Carpe Diem Baby" are all studly examples of Metallica's forte: here a joltingly energetic number about a car crash, there a joyously rendered condemnation of the competitive nature of mankind. Re-Load has its hackneyed moments, of course--self-parodies like "Devil's Dance" and "Where the Wild Things Are." And occasionally, the band veers off course, in directions that made Load, which had some "experimental" moments, like a ballad and a boogie-rock number, a less cliched--and therefore less strong--album. Re-Load's "Low Man's Lament," an acoustic-style ballad with what sounds like a bagpipe at its finish, ends with three long minutes of Hetfield pleading, "Please forgive me," a most un-Metallica-like sentiment. He sounds like a cross between George Jones and Eddie Vedder.
One of the great appeals of Hetfield's songwriting, however, is that his hatred is directed at himself, as opposed to more common and easier targets, like women. "Ain't gonna waste my hate on you/Gonna save it for myself," he sang on Load, while on the new album he attempts to come a step closer to expressing actual compassion on "The Memory Remains." The song is about a "guilty goddess," a "faded prima donna," and if it's not about Marianne Faithfull, then why the hell is she singing growly backup vocals? One can only admire Ms. Faithfull's ability to exploit her own sad legend with a jolly ho-ho-ho, but her presence just points out Metallica's continuing uneasy relationship with fun. Although they often do things--like opening their sets with the Anti-Nowhere League song "So What"--that suggest they have a sense of humor, their music is so singularly solemn that, after a week in their proximity, I finally realized that the only way for a non-hesher to appreciate them was to add one's own into the mix. Luckily, Hetfield's courtly turns are always good for a chuckle--phrases like "under wicked sky" and "satisfaction this way comes." If only the band could do something funny with its music--but that would violate the rigid constraints they've set for themselves, which are so admired by their fans.
For all its strengths, Re-Load does not perhaps justify critics' original contention that Metallica was the only "smart" metal band on the planet, never borne out by anything other than a lack of songs about chicks and beer and a few covers of "cool" songs by the likes of Killing Joke. Those things implied a broad-mindedness rarely seen in metal bands, but the truth is that what fans have always liked about Metallica is exactly the opposite: their ability to pander to the innate conservatism of the market, with endless goodwill and a fairly straight face. Like good statuary, it endures.
