Stocks finish flat as traders mull weak jobs data, Syria tensions

The Dow rose as high as 15,009 and dropped as low as 14,789 — a 220-point range.

The nation's largest ticket-seller quietly began rolling out its system, called TM+, for certain shows, including a Black Sabbath concert in Massachusetts in August. More than two dozen professional sports teams have signed up, including many in the NFL.
