Wrong. That fine print is only for the main page quotes. The Real-time quotes fine print is here . And it is in real time, but only data streaming from the ECNs. Which basically means you may not be getting the best real-time bid and ask prices from the NASDAQ or NYSE.
I guess I will go kick my economics professor in the balls later, for now I should get the egg off my face. From a FAQ at nber.org their definition of recession:
Q: The financial press often states the definition of a recession as two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP. How does that relate to the NBER's recession dating procedure?
A: Most of the recessions identified by our procedures do consist of two or more quarters of declining real GDP, but not all of them. Our procedure differs from the two-quarter rule in a number of ways. First, we consider the depth as well as the duration of the decline in economic activity. Recall that our definition includes the phrase, "a significant decline in economic activity." Second, we use a broader array of indicators than just real GDP. One reason for this is that the GDP data are subject to considerable revision. Third, we use monthly indicators to arrive at a monthly chronology.
Q: Isn't a recession a period of diminished economic activity?
A: It's more accurate to say that a recession-the way we use the word-is a period of diminishing activity rather than diminished activity. We identify a month when the economy reached a peak of activity and a later month when the economy reached a trough. The time in between is a recession, a period when the economy is contracting. The following period is an expansion. Economic activity is below normal or diminished for some part of the recession and for some part of the following expansion as well. Some call the period of diminished activity a slump.
Another quarter of positive GDP growth numbers came out today people. The National Bureau of Economic Research defines a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.
Sure other economic indicator have been trending lower, but please, lets not throw words around hapharzardly. I prefer them to still mean something when I go to use them.
For the sake of the embryo I hope that women aren't allowed to work in that lab. Some freak accident could lead to a woman being implanted with an embryo, which we know imbues it with a soul. And when the embryo is not brought to term the soul would go to hell... or would that be heaven since it hasn't committed sin yet? Wait what are the thorny ethical questions again?

I wouldn't have modded you over-rated, but what is Tor? What do you expect me to RYourFA?

Depending on how you feel about the Open Handset Alliance it looks like Android has moved well past the vapor stage video here.
So the Scottish appeasers won't let people call the Co$ a religion? Now that would be an abusive, insulting label!
Rationally architected supporting human rights? That's funny, my work's proxy blocks the site and categorizes it as simply "racism and hate"...
Too good to go to webmd.com and misdiagnose yourself like the rest of us are you?
And even more than that, many local used book stores that have survived B&N or Amazon specialized in genres like... you guessed it Sci-fi.
Anyone mentioned this sci-fi blog yet? http://io9.com/361597/the-twenty-science-fiction-novels-that-will-change-your-life
