...point, Regi was horribly sharp and only turned the pegs up more, producing a grating sound and a disturbing cacophony amidst Victor's clever performance. The drummer, J.D. Blaine, amazed and amused. Even one beat of his drum prompted audience response; he possessed a zany aura that fed into Victor's desire for fun and crazy musical progression. The band's DJ also kept the crowd going, playing Jackson 5 and old school hip-hop, with Wooten's contributions. The combination of the DJ and Wooten brought out some of Wooten's best slapping technique...
...None of this changes the long-term outlook; Greenspan is still genuinely worried about an "asset bubble" (although he?ll never tell how many points make a bubble), and the markets are still headed for a tepid autumn overall as Y2K uncertainties loom larger and larger. But the Fed chairman also knows how this market loves to panic about numbers, and he wants everybody to just calm down.

The treatment, called vagus nerve stimulation, consists of mild electric shocks from an implanted generator that are fed into the depths of the brain via a nerve in the neck. The current travels from the pacemaker-like gadget in the patient?s chest, through wires to the vagus nerve, and delivers the "feel good" or "I?m full" message to the brain every few minutes. While the precise connection between the treatment...
Getting nervous? In the past two weeks, the Dow Jones industrial average has fallen 529 points, a drop of nearly 10% since its August peak, punctuating a dismal third quarter. Investors are hoping--praying might be a better word--that Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan will decide against the third interest-rate hike of 1999 when the central bank's Open Market Committee meets this week...
