...assumes its more traditional function of providing funds to cash-strapped nations confronting turmoil. Late last week, for example, the organization struck a tentative agreement to extend Iceland a $2 billion loan; similar accords are expected to be made with other countries badly in need of economic stability amid the current upheaval, including Hungary and the Ukraine. Nations with more stable economies that are badly hurting for access to foreign currency like South Korea and Brazil, meanwhile, may also soon turn to the IMF for help...
...China. Despite Zardari flying to those countries in recent weeks to make his case, he has yet to secure the loans needed to avoid a default on Pakistan's debt. Pakistani officials insist that they have no intention of defaulting, and the Pakistani rupee rose this week amid signs that the International Monetary Fund might step in to rescue this frontline state in the war on terror.

...based on these underestimations of wild uncertainty. The coverage is adequate now - it's not adequate on a regular day when people just tell you the market went up one point and they give you a reason. But today we have problems.

Two legendarily awful clubs from economically hurting swing states, battling it out for the championship of a past-its-prime sport while the rest of us watch football highlights. Philadelphia--my city--hasn't won a championship of any kind for 25 years, a record for a four-sport town. Tampa Bay has a shorter history of woe, but this is a city (well, technically, a body of water) whose football team...
...Syrian art boom is taking place amid an economic thaw. Syria began opening its economy in 2005 under pressure from U.S. sanctions; foreign investment has changed the face of the country. Once the streets of Damascus were filled with 1950s-era American auto-mobiles, kept running by trade barriers and twine; now there's a daily traffic jam of new Asian sedans and German sports cars. Superseding the capital's dictator-chic hotels from the 1970s--massive concrete towers with prostitutes in the bars and spies in the lobbies--modern boutique inns are sprouting in renovated courtyard palaces...
