Averages are everywhere. The recession demands that we deaverage. See http://www.noozit.com/article/.ee835e3.

I have made a slight change to the presentation. If you viewed it before you will notice that we tightened the range from 8-12 to 9-11. Now there are only 2 years out of 80 that were even close to 'average'. Download this version and replace the previous one.
