Central Kansas, not central park

My plans have evolved slightly, so I am going pretty much directly from England to central Kansas (i.e. tornado land).  In practice, that I means I probably won't be able to resume regular posting until I return to the east coast later this week.  My apologies.

I am sure Macro man (and others) will keep everyone abreast of the latest developments in the fx market.  And Dr. Roubini always has lots to say. 

Please use the comments to discuss (politely) any economic development that catches your eye -- or any that you think should catch my eye when I will have more regular access to a computer.
