...hard to paint places as diverse as India, Mexico and Thailand with one brushstroke, but the story on emerging markets generally goes something like this. As economies in certain countries (China, India) take off, others that are rich in natural resources (Brazil, Chile) get pulled along when commodity prices shoot through the roof. Meanwhile, as many countries undergo structural changes, like floating their currencies (South Korea, Indonesia), the idea of investing in places that come with some pretty scary memories (the 1980s Latin American debt defaults, the 1997 East Asian financial crisis) becomes remarkably more palatable...
...have fired air balls in the pros. Krzyzewski's favorite wink-wink reply: "I'm a millionaire too." The early results look good; the team has bought into Krzyzewski's selfless, defense-first philosophy, evidenced in blowouts of China and Puerto Rico and a gritty 90-86 win over Brazil in warm-up games. The ex-Army point guard from Chicago has mixed in motivational ploys--a speech by a soldier blinded in Iraq moved many players to tears-- while being careful not to overdo the rah-rah stuff. "We haven't gone on a canoe trip," quips...
...hope to persuade mobile-phone-camera users to print out their shots. "For the entry level, the mobile is taking more and more of the digital-camera market," says Kodak's Cohen Szulc.

...early results are sterling - the team has bought into Krzyzewski's selfless, defense-first philosophy, evidenced by blowouts of China and Puerto Rico and a gritty 90-86 win over Brazil in exhibition games. The plucky ex-Army point guard from Chicago has mixed in motivational ploys - a speech by a soldier blinded in Iraq moved many players to tears - but won't overdo the rah-rah stuff. "We haven't gone on a canoe trip," quips K when asked how he has united the team. "We'll bond on the court...
...double-edged sword." As a former U.S. counterterrorism official, he sees the value of keeping the sites up so intelligence services can collect "forensic" evidence. "It's important to see what they are saying," he says, noting that Hizballah has resource bases in Indonesia and the tri-border area (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay) of South America. Given Hizballah's links to Iran, which offers its operatives diplomatic cover around the world, according to Burton, monitoring Hizballah's Internet presence is vital as part of the "cat and mouse" game with Western intelligence. But shutting them down also limits their fundraising, recruiting...
