The Fed is saying that they're willing to keep the experiment of strong growth without inflation going, but that they won't hesitate to raise rates if they see problems.

[That message apparently got through to Jermaine Williams, a fifth grader at Carmen Arace, where kids traipse through the halls with their heavy, magnesium-cased laptops and book bags strapped to luggage carts.] Sending a threatening e-mail is the same thing as threatening someone to their face, ...
