Dollar - Dropping to New Lows?

Despite the negative reading from the trade report though, exports did improve over the month as demand from China and Russia filled in for the slump in US orders. This is a promising dynamic, but can it last? Outside the confines of the economic docket, there was a tangible interest in risk developing behind the yen’s ebb and flow. For most of the week, the market was fleeing from its risky positions. The cost of credit default swaps (used to protect investors from corporate bond risk) continually won record highs through the week. This fear was fed by reports that major bond insurers were attempting to split off their subprime units (and opening $580 billion in assets open to downgrades), news that the UK government would nationalize troubled lender Northern Rock (and thereby admitting the problem was severe) and deepening fears of a US recession.

Guide Dogs Raiser injured, canine killed in I-5 collision

A puppy raiser for San Rafael-based Guide Dogs for the Blind was in serious condition Monday after the agency's truck he was driving collided with a car on Interstate 5, killing a guide dog.

The incident occurred about 2:30 p.m. Friday on the rain-slick freeway near Williams in Colusa County.

Denny Epperson, 59, of Santa Barbara suffered a broken pelvis, a broken leg, three broken ribs and an injured spleen, said officials for Guide Dogs for the Blind. He was airlifted to the University of California at Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, where he remained Monday.

There were no other injuries in the wreck, said Sarah Netoff, the agency's administrative manager of canine programs.

Netoff said Epperson was returning to San Rafael after he and fellow employee Lee Shenk had been turned around at the Oregon border because of bad weather.
