Hey stochastix, Can you explain more about normalized vol?

<t>Indeed, this sort of protectionist crap (i.e. the farm bill, the steel tariffs, ......) was the first straw in making me into a vote against Bush. Of course now that I've been looking for others there are too many to list. I strongly hope Kerry takes the moral high ground on business issues (in p...

<t>But surely that argument could be made about any class of criminal, and the idea of throwing away the key on shoplifters or vandals is ridiculous.Society's attitude towards rape is a vicious circle.

It is the case of a young computer whiz who, shortly after the casino opened, noticed something unusual about the keno g...

<t>I also enjoyed the article. Hitchens is great at tearing someone a new asshole without purely spewing vitriol. I mean, the vitriol is there, but more as a liberally applied condiment than as the main meal.I've been wanting to buy one of his books, but I haven't yet found a subject that grabs me. ...
