...experience of dining at El Bulli, and then, as his friend, Harvard microbiology professor Roberto Kolter translated, the Catalan chef launched into an entertaining and impressive discussion of the science of his cuisine. He focused on his discovery of new textures - particularly the magical uses of hydrocolloids and liquid nitrogen to give foods shapes they'd never assume without the intervention of innovative physics. The crowd exhaled collective "aaaahs" as if they could almost taste the bejeweled concoctions being assembled on video before them - perfect little caviar-like spheres made of melon essence, translucent ravioli, a caipirinha sorbet.

In July, the government of the Philippines awarded a Filipino-Icelandic consortium exploration rights to half of Biliran Island in the country's south. Twenty years ago, three boreholes were drilled on Biliran and then abandoned when the underground liquid at the other end of the drill was found to be too acidic. Since then, the industry has learned how to address that problem by adding chemicals to the mix, and geologic exploration is underway again.

Funds that buy and sell the stocks of large companies should have a fairly easy time getting out of positions, says Kinnel, but funds that focus on less-liquid sectors can wind up in a vicious cycle of having to sell holdings at fire-sale prices.
