What has happened? Did the NASDAQ close early today?

edited: OK I found this:

The Nasdaq Composite Index retreated from yesterday's record,
falling 13.43, or 0.3 percent, to 4535.49 before a technical
problem interrupted the feed from the Nasdaq Stock Market about
11:25 a.m. New York time. The Nasdaq 100 Index, whose feed wasn't
disrupted, lost 48.18, or 1.2 percent, to 4077.20.

Wayne - Yes, some years ago here before merged pools there was often a disparity between the odds at various tracks. Sometimes I risked whiplash swiveling from one board to another before placing my bet. The old concept of "dutching" makes sense, I guess, but it never really appealed to me. Also, IMHO playing the futures is a very risky proposition. But this early in the game it could make more sense.
