...Options Exchange Volatility Index - VIX for short - briefly topped 80 points for the first time Thursday, as U.S. stocks slipped on a pile of poor economic news. The VIX, dubbed the "fear gauge", eventually closed at a touch under 68, three times the average over its 18-year history. Prior to this past week, the index hadn't even scaled the 50 mark...
...roots-oriented Dylan who, with his voice muted and weathered by age, seems almost a more fitting troubadour than the explosive, snarling youth that wailed on “Maggie’s Farm.” The live cuts are all supreme, though they favor recordings prior to his most recent tour—a much more subdued affair than is apparent on a rousing 2002 cut of “Lonesome Day Blues.”To a certain extent, any release from the Bootleg Series is useless to all but the serious Dylan fan.

...Mountain Hawks (2-3, 1-0 Patriot) are coming off an emphatic 45-24 win over defending Patriot League champion Fordham, in what may have been a breakout game for an offense that has struggled to pick up momentum leading up to Saturday’s matchup with Harvard.

According a recent study in The Columbia Law Review, key factors in the convictions of innocent individuals were false testimony and faulty forensic science. In 61 cases, individuals had exhausted appeals, leaving Governors’ pardons as the only available option despite compelling DNA evidence...
...that Mahoney went out of his way to help the woman secure a $3.2 million hurricane-cleanup reimbursement from FEMA. (Mahoney's representative responded that the Congressman had helped many counties in Florida get reimbursed by Washington for disaster-recovery expenses, and that Martin County had been seeking funding prior to Mahoney's election.) Republicans have also accused leading Democrats of covering up whatever knowledge they had of Mahoney's trysts, the very same charge that was leveled at Republicans after Foley's behavior surfaced two years...
