Chris, CLASSIC line from the article:

> The popular definition of a recession -- two consecutive quarters during which the economy shrinks -- isn't always fulfilled.

> ``While everyone focuses on GDP, keep in mind that it is not the only barometer of economic activity,'' David Rosenberg, chief North American economist at Merrill Lynch & Co. in New York, said in a July 28 note to clients. Growth ``is subject to huge historical revisions.''

LOL, in other words, you have to revise history to define a "recession" these days ...
