Eurozone recovery grinds to a near haltBy PAN PYLAS
The Associated Press | November 15,2013AP Photo
Lisbon municipal street cleaner Carlos Rodrigues pulls a hose as he works at Comercio square in downtown Lisbon, Tuesday.LONDON Three months after it emerged from recession, the 17-country eurozone economy is scarcely growing.
The currency unions economy expanded just 0.1 percent in the July-September quarter compared with the previous three-month period, the EU statistics agency, Eurostat, said Thursday. That was in line with market expectations but below the previous quarters 0.3 percent increase.
The figure highlights the blocs struggles to regain economic health despite signs of life in the rest of the global economy, notably in the United States. European government debt, despite years of government cutbacks and tax increases, remains high, unemployment is at a record, and consumers are hesitant to spend.
As a result, few economists think the recovery in the eurozone can pick up a head of steam and become self-sustaining in the way it has in the U.S. In the third quarter, the U.S. grew at an annualized rate of 2.8 percent, compared with the eurozones annualized rate of about 0.4 percent.
The drop in the eurozone growth rate does not mean that the eurozone is heading back into recession but it highlights that the recovery is fragile and, as yet, too slow to lead to a significant fall in unemployment, said Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to EY, formerly known as Ernst & Young.
The weak economic backdrop is one reason why the European Central Bank cut its main interest rate last week to a record-low 0.25 percent. The other being low inflation. In the year to October, consumer prices were up only 0.7 percent, way down on the ECBs mandate of keeping inflation just below 2 percent.
Though details were not provided for individual sectors, Thursdays figures show the recovery slowed in the core economies, such as Germany and France, with mild improvements in countries in the so-called periphery, notably in Spain, which saw its nearly two-year recession end.
Germanys economic growth slowed to a quarterly rate of 0.3 percent from 0.7 percent in the previous three-month period as exports dragged. For an economy that relies heavily on its high-value exporters, such as big car manufacturers like BMW and Daimler, thats a sign of weak demand among its neighbors and possibly an indication that the recent high value of the euro has taken its toll.
In France, the situation was even more downbeat, with Europes second-largest economy posting a quarterly contraction of 0.1 percent. Its not in recession, though, as it grew by 0.5 percent in the previous quarter a recession is traditionally defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth.
Looking ahead, most economists predict the eurozone will continue to grow, albeit at a sub-par rate. Many of the factors that have hobbled growth, notably the easing in the tensions in the financial markets, will help shore up economies.
The region is on course to expand at a slightly stronger, though still modest, pace in the fourth quarter, said Chris Williamson, chief economist at financial information company Markit.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Natural gas, the nations most prevalent heating fuel, is getting cheaper just as...

This race is scheduled for Saturday night. It will be the first time a Sprint
Cup Series event runs under the lights at Kansas Speedway. Kansas and
Darlington Raceway switched their dates for the '14 season.
Construction of Kansas Speedway began in 1999. The first events at this 1.5-
mile racetrack -- ARCA Series and NASCAR K&N Pro Series West -- were held on
the same day on June 2, 2001.
During the 2012 NASCAR season, between the April and October race weekends,
this track was repaved and variable banking was added in the turns. The
banking in all four corners varies from 17-20 degrees. There is 10 degrees of
banking on the frontstretch and 5 degrees on the backstretch. The length of
the frontstretch is 2,685 feet, and the backstretch is 2,207 feet long.
There have been 16 Sprint Cup races held at Kansas, including one event per
season from 2001-2010 and two each year since then. The series will return
there the first weekend in October for the fourth race in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship.
Jeff Gordon won the inaugural Sprint Cup race at Kansas on Sept. 30, 2001.
Gordon, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart lead all
drivers with two victories each at Kansas. Gordon has the most top-five
finishes at this track with 9, and Johnson's 13 top-10 finishes there is tops
among all drivers. Johnson has placed no worse than ninth in the last 10 races
at Kansas.
Kasey Kahne and Johnson have the most poles at Kansas with three each.
The race winner at Kansas has started from the pole position four times,
including both events during the 2013 season. Kenseth started first and won
there one year ago, and Kevin Harvick did the same last October.
The closest margin of victory in a Sprint Cup race at Kansas occurred in
October 2004 when Joe Nemechek beat Ricky Rudd to the finish line by just
0.081 seconds.
Seven drivers have competed in each of the previous 16 races at Kansas. They
are: Jeff Burton, Kurt Busch, Gordon, Harvick, Kenseth, Mark Martin and Ryan
Newman. Burton and Martin are not competing in this weekend's race.
Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon are those active drivers who made their first
career Sprint Cup starts at Kansas. Hamlin made his debut on Oct. 9, 2005 at
this track, while Dillon's first start came on Oct. 9, 2011.
No active driver has scored his or her first Cup race win or pole at Kansas.
Newman holds the record as the youngest driver to win a race at Kansas. He
took the checkered flag there on Oct. 5, 2003 when he was 25 years, 9 months
and 27 days old. When Martin was 46 years and 9 months old, he became the
oldest driver to win at this track on Oct. 9, 2005.
The May 17 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway is next on
the Sprint Cup Schedule. Johnson has won the all-star event the past two

Comments about Single Stage ETC Temperature Control w/ Sensor, 120/240V Input (Includes 8' Cord):
It worked as advertised by keeping the temperature where I need it. This replaced a controller which would turn on and off automatically so rapidly that two other units in my four plex condominium experience power outages. This controller does not cause the same power outages.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Single Stage ETC Temperature Control w/ Sensor (120/240V Input) - Includes 8' Cord:
I bought a true 2 door pop cooler to start a floral buisness. The built in temp. control got to cold and froze a batch of flowers costing me time and money to replace. Installing this device on my cooler has enabled me to set an actual temperature and control the temperature swing. Well worth the money, and peace of mind when i go to sleep at night that the flowers wont be ruined in the morning. I have bought 3 now and will continue to buy more as i acquire more coolers.

Long ago, in a distant land, death was unknown to the world. Eventually, however, death first showed up, and with it, the "messenger from afar." The cause was found to be "Hell's Gate," and a sealing ritual was performed to keep the dead behind there, thus creating the two worlds. The Four Gods keep a constant eye over the gate. Eventually, Shinnosuke Kagami (Suzaku's earthly avatar) becomes tired of how foolish and weak people have become, and decides to take advantage of the power of the gate for himself.Meanwhile, three adopted children of a great swordsman, Kaede, Yuki and Moriya Minakata, find their lives in turmoil. Kaede and Yuki, off on an errand, return to find their father dead, Moriya standing over his corpse. Kaede, assuming that it was Moriya, attacks him. Moriya takes the beating without fighting and walks away afterwards.Kaede, feeling that he was too weak to help, goes to train with the old hermit Genbu Okina, and discovers that he holds the power of Seiryuu. He eventually fights with Kagami, and not only defeats him and saves the world, but also discovers that Kagami is the true killer of his father.In the second game, the Hell's Gate is still wide open and to seal it for good, the 'Sealing Maiden' is required to sacrifice her life. Kaede, Moriya, Yuki and Okina tried to search for this Maiden, with several surprises in tow that there's this madman called Setsuna who claims to be a "Messenger from Afar" that wants to kill everyone, and the trio's master, Gaisei, reborn into Kohryu and plotting to open Hell's Gate as well to let the spirits akin to Setsuna enter the world. Luckily for Kaede, not only he's the Seiryuu power holder (Okina's obviously Genbu), the Heavens has sent back Kagami to the mortal world, on the humans' side in a Redemption Quest, and the holder of the Byakko's power, Naoe Shigen, previously Brainwashed and Crazy by Kagami, is now also back to his senses and the formation of The Four Gods power holder are complete. Unfortunately for Kaede, the Sealing Maiden is actually Yuki and she resolves to sacrifice herself.The Last Blade (in Japanese, Bakumatsu Roman: Gekka no Kenshi, "Tales of the Shogunate's End: Moonlight Swordsman") is a cruelly short-lived (two games in two years total, NGP ports notwithstanding) Fighting Game series developed and published by SNK in the late 90s — their prime. Seen by many as a Spiritual Successor to the Samurai Shodown series, LB still managed to stand out with its melodramatic aesthetic, extremely smooth animation and two modes of play (Speed and Power). The Neo Geo games are generally regarded as among the best SNK ever produced; at any rate, they're most certainly the most underrated. Both of them.

Denver Police investigate rash of spare tire thefts
Thieves target Jeeps, Honda CRVs
Denver police report a dramatic increase in spare tire thefts all over the city, specifically targeting Jeeps and Honda CRVs with spare tires mounted on the back.
In October 2012, only three spares were reported stolen to Denver police. In February, 29 spares were reported stolen.
"They went to sleep and woke up the next day, and the tire was missing," said Paul Garcia, an employee at the Big O Tires on Colfax. "I've helped 15 customers in the last few months replace stolen spares."
Two weeks ago, 7NEWS reported on a similar trend in Centennial, where thieves have been targeting Dodge Ram pickups with the spares stored under the bed.
But in Denver, police statistics show the top targets are: Honda CRV, Jeep Liberty and Jeep Wrangler, all of which have rear-mounted spares.
Garcia's store has been selling more wheel locks lately, which cost $20-$40 -- a bargain, compared to potentially hundreds of dollars to replace another tire and rim.

Critic & User Reviews
Very Good
Better than expected

The choice of weapons and squad mates is back and better than ever. And having the ariel view on the fly and being able to change weapons with your mule during a mission are such great ideas (aside from making the game a little too easy).
My only real complaint is that the AI still seems to be lacking. It's nice to hear your squad mates calling out the number of enemies around you and the first time i hear one of them call out the color of a car the enemies were hiding behind i was pretty shocked. BUT, why the last enemy standing still peaks his head out long enough to get shot several times is beyond me. And the team mates will still stand right in the open sometimes when there is a perfectly good stop to crouch behind right next to them.
So i'm giving this game an 8 for being jaw dropping, innovative, and creative. If the AI were higher, so would the score.
Definitely Worth Investing In

-fairly good team AI, they take cover when shot at and go into recon mode until you tell them to fire
-awesome multiplayer. online customization is WAAAY over the top, and that's how we like it!
-great action in the game overall. you always have some kind of explosion or bullets whizzing by at any given moment in the game
-cool weapon choices and the ability to pick up whatever weapon is laying around, which I know is not new, but I like it
-great graphics
-mission innovativeness. I never felt like I was playing the same mission over and over again, unless I really WAS playing it again
-command view, see what your ally sees. love it
-lacking a good enemy AI. they run from safe cover to get closer. maybe it's just my skill (pshh!), but they seem to just wind up dead quicker that way
-graphics can get a bit glitchy at times, especially when there's a bunch of action onscreen
-every once in a while you have that enemy you have to kill to advance the story, but you just can't find him!
-voicover is iffy at best. cmon, things like "Now if you two are done with your little love fest, we can move on to more pressing matters" eesh
-sometimes your squad just stands there looking dumb while you fight
All in all I loved this game, and it is one of the few games I've played that makes me want to do it all over again after I've beaten it. Loved it, bought it, been playing it ever since. I know I probably have more convincing cons than pros, but everyone should definitely pick up this game!

Déjá vu single player, but BEST multiplayer so far

Anyways, you start off in the desert as I said before, and it looks like cráp. Everything is so plain that I was worried what the rest of the game would be like. Well, worry not. Once you get out of the desert you'll be plenty happy with the visuals. They are significantly improved over GRAW, which was a good-looking game already. Story is the same old Clancy: terrorists get bomb and threaten to use it. Whatever. Most shooter fans don't really care about story anyways so I can't subtract points here.
The real selling point to GRAW 2 is the multiplayer. Wow. I think this has a chance to be more popular than GoW and Halo 2. There's oodles of game types, 18 different maps, and customization out the wazoo. You can customize your look, the weapon types allowed in the games, number of respawns, and even combine elements from the different game types (like CTF and Team Elimination, etc.). No more spawn-camping since respawns are now random, and players can be revived like in Gears of War if they're downed but not dead. Plus there's co-op mode and clan support for up to 100 friends! Good stuff.

Can't say enough. You can play over and over and never get bored. The game is hard but not impossible. The tactics are almost limitless and the controls are so easy to figure out and use you will never get frustrated.
The TV videos were astounding. Real-life TV!!! THe characters were finely detailed and the flow of the game itself was spectacular.
Story is awesome, thanks to Tom Clancy's geniusness. Story just unfolds and the fact that you have a deciding factor in it, plus the fact the story reacts to your actions....remarkable.
If the 360 keeps putting out games like this, PS3 will be left in the dust. This is what it's all about for gamers everywhere.

What really sets this game apart from others is the control over your own squad and how you all need to work together to succeed.
After I finished the campaign I went online not expecting much, but when I got there I found myself customizing my player, and searching through a ton of weapons that are just right for the the 16 maps to choose from, which in my opinion are all gorgeous.
I would have given it a 10 but sometimes your squad just stands there and wait for your command while you are trying to take on 10 rebels by yourself.
Other than that enjoy the game, and I'm sure you'll be popping this game in months after you finish it.

The integrated combat system is bang on with the Army's plans for the future war fighter. GRAW2 gives the gamer a taste of the dangerous, multitasking, and stressful environment of a combat command without, of course, real bullets or explosions.
The slowed game action, in regards to things like exiting cover and reloading simultaneously, could be improved. I found Mitchel sticking out and exposed, one too many times, when I wanted him back under cover. Nevertheless, Clancy is a futurist for the US military and his games are a blast.

lot to the campaign. however. the multiplayer was great also. but it just seems like they don't put the great things from the campaign into multiplayer.
i loved how you can see the path of the bullet in the campaign, but you never see it in the multiplayer. I loved how you could take cover in single player, but you didn't see that in multiplayer. I'm just wondering why are they holding some of the coolest things in single player from going into multi player

The AI in this game is great. Each difficulty you can choose from is actually different they range from easy to extremely hard, the ability to move your men and support was awesome. Weapons in the game were awesome 50cal sniper to m4's. One down fall is the short campaign because once you get into the story line you want to finish it took me a day and half to beat. Graphics were amazing and the additional online play was a plus. An A in my book you should rent it.
Awesome Fun

Q. How has incumbent Peter Gilchrist handled the job of Mecklenburg district attorney?
Barnes: "Mr. Gilchrist has done an honorable job. ... As evidenced by his retirement, he recognizes that some changes may be needed in his office."
Murray: "Peter has done great things for this community. He has kept that office nonpolitical, which is important. Peter has always instilled ethics beyond reproach, which will be a hallmark of my administration."
Q. What would you do differently?
Barnes: Look for more resources, particularly to upgrade technology. Push for "community prosecutors" in each of three high-crime police divisions. If no additional money is available, tweak the department's current team structure to reassign attorneys.
Murray: Make the office more accessible and accountable, in part with a publicly accessible website tracking successes and failures. Send staffers to public events to "basically be my eyes and ears."
Q. How would you close the so-called revolving door that has let some serial criminals go free?
Barnes: Community prosecutors, like community police, would help by fostering more cooperation from citizens in identifying criminals and building cases.
Send a strong message to offenders through better cooperation with police, federal prosecutors and new community prosecutors. "There is not just one magic elixir. There are a host of tools that we can use to address the problem."
Murray: Push for more restrictive bonds. New rules adopted recently - which link bonds to the level of risk a defendant poses - are positive. Prosecutors would "put trial skills to work to ensure an appropriate bond" by focusing on initial appearances, backgrounding defendants thoroughly and advocating harder.
Q. You each say you would push for higher bonds to keep accused criminals behind bars. But judges, not prosecutors, set bonds. So what exactly would you do?
Barnes: The office will adopt a "different tone" in dealing with repeat offenders and increase the use of electronic monitoring of those released on bond.
Murray: "I intend to impact that (bond) decision. We're going to push hard to keep those who should stay in jail in jail."
Q. Could you shorten the time it takes to bring felons to trial? How?
Barnes: Better cooperation with police to improve the quality of evidence. More effort to contact victims and witnesses early. Push for more efficiencies in the use of court time and space. Cut paperwork through new technology and electronic case management.
Murray: That would be hard unless the legislature comes up with money for more courtroom space and resources as well as technology to streamline cases. "Unfortunately that means some cases have to be plea bargained. That's just part of being district attorney and making difficult decisions with limited resources."
Q. Critics say prosecutors should negotiate tougher plea bargains. What would you do differently to make this happen?
Barnes: Not dismiss as many charges as prosecutors currently do. "In order to send a clear message and hold people accountable, you can't dismiss all the lesser charges. Obviously you have to gauge it on a case-by-case basis."
Murray: The office needs "a different approach" to aim for tough bargains. "It's a plea bargain, not a plea fire sale."
Says Gilchrist's policy is to have a defendant plead to the highest charge in exchange for dismissal of other charges. "I need to ensure that we get what we need out of plea bargains to properly protect the public."
Q. Prosecutors have complained for years about the outdated state computer system. What specifically would you do to get the resources to upgrade it?
Barnes: There's clearly a need for better technology and maybe more people. Given state budget constraints, would seek more help from local government and federal grants.
Murray: "They absolutely do not have enough resources." While there are presently enough prosecutors, the office needs more technology and courtroom space as well as clerks and judges.
Either press the state for more help or get money from local government.
"I intend to continue beating the drum. Do I have any illusions that I'll make that change this year with the tight budget? No. That means that I'm going to take over that office and do more with less. It is my duty to get the job done with whatever resources I am provided."
Q. There have been tensions between the DA's office and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. How would you build a better relationship?
Barnes: Work with police officials "to develop a better understanding of the challenges facing them." Work with them to find ways to prosecute cases more quickly and efficiently.
Murray: Be a "bridge-builder" by working with law enforcement, just as he has worked with local officials as a Coast Guard liaison in the Gulf.
"That's my job right now, to build bridges, to make sure we have partnerships here, to make sure everyone's equipped and trained and has the necessary resources to get the job done."
Q. Would you restructure the DA's office and if so, how?
Barnes: Technology improvements and a community prosecution program may entail some changes in assignment. Also would make prosecutors more visible in the community.
Murray: "No. The team concept works well. Having specialized teams that focus on specific types of crimes allows for prosecutors to become experts in their field, which maximizes efficiencies and the likelihood of success."
Q. Why would you be a better DA than your opponent?
Barnes: "I've got a vision for the office that goes beyond doing more with less. I think we can actually do more with more. We're both attorneys, but I combine with my legal background community service and leadership experience that will add value to the role of the D.A. in Mecklenburg County."
Experience on the City Council would help bring resources to the office and needed visibility to the job.
Murray: "I have 18 years experience in the criminal world of prosecuting and defending. I've tried hundreds of cases with judge and jury. I've gained a breadth of experience over the years in being able to run that office."
Cites his 29 years in the U.S. Coast Guard and specifically that as a Coast Guard Commander, responsible for training and preparing more than 250 people. "I've gained the experience necessary to run the office and hit the job running."

How was Midnight in Paris? I want to see it.ReplyDelete
I love The Great Gatsby. Just reread it a couple months ago and was astonished at how I'd forgotten so many of the beautiful subtleties in the prose.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to the remake, but I'd like to see the Robert Redford/Mia Farrow version before it comes out. Have you seen it? Ralph Lauren did the costuming, and judging from the screen stills the outfits look impeccable.
What a lovely post - thank you! This dress is really fantastic and its devastating that there is no label to be found. The curse of those days! Thank you for featuring it!ReplyDelete
Midnight in Paris was awesome: imaginative, intelligent, romantic, well-acted.
I have seen the Robert Redford (yum!) version a couple of times. The clothes are flawless (good luck to whoever is doing the costumes for the new one!). Daisy was stylish and all clad in white/silver/pale yellow, but Jordan takes the cake for best dressed!

Scooter D. Carey in a 2007 Cowlitz County Jail booking photo. Photo courtesy of the Liberty Lake Police Department.
The Liberty Lake Police Department now has a name to go with the photo of a man suspected of breaking into a storage unit at Storage Solutions on East Mission on July 15 and stealing a motorcycle. He is Scooter D. Carey, 36, of Longview, Wash., and police believe he is still in the area.
Police traced the truck the suspect used back to its registered owner, a resident of Kalama, Wash., and contacted the police department there for help. "They are very familiar with the registered owner," said Liberty Lake Police Chief Brian Asmus. "He's a career criminal over there."
The police there sent Liberty Lake police a list of the man's known associates, one of whom was Carey. Asmus said he has also heard that a woman identified as Carey's girlfriend was arrested in Coeur d'Alene last week and a truck full of stolen goods was recovered. A motorcycle was among the items recovered, but Asmus said he doesn't know yet if it is the same one stolen from Liberty Lake. Police are now looking for Carey, who is facing charges of commercial burglary and theft of a motor vehicle.
The Liberty Lake Police Department thought they had an easy case on July 15 when Storage Solutions on East Mission reported that someone had broken in and stolen a Honda Motorcycle from a storage unit. The video surveillance system captured crystal clear shots of the man involved and his truck. But the blue Dodge pickup had different license plates on the front and back. "Neither of those belong on the truck," said police chief Brian Asmus.
So now Asmus is circulating photos of the suspected thief in the hopes that someone will recognize him. Asmus said it appears that the man scoped out the business the day before the theft was reported and may have seen the Honda's owner put the motorcycle in the unit. At one point he entered the storage facility using a gate code that was assigned to local contractor who did some door work at the facility last year. Asmus said it was hoped that the man was a current or former employee, but the business owner did not recognize the man.
Anyone who knows the identity of the man pictured above is asked to call the Liberty Lake Police Department at 755-1140.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Babinski reflex occurs after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out.
This reflex is normal in children up to 2 years old. It disappears as the child gets older. It may disappear as early as 12 months.

4. Park National Corporation
Shares of Park National Corporation (PRK) of Newark, Ohio closed at $74.39 Monday, up 34% year-to-date. Based on a quarterly payout of 94 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 5.05%.Income Statement Net income to common shareholders for the third quarter was $18.1 million, or $1.19 a share, declining from $19.7 million, or $1.30 a share, a year earlier, mainly because the results in the third quarter of 2009 included $3.5 million in gains on the sale of securities. The third-quarter ROA was 1.11%, which was the highest among these 10 holding companies, despite Park National's payment of $1.5 million in dividends and accretion on $100 million in preferred shares held by the government for TARP assistance received in December 2008. Park National is the only company listed here that still owes TARP money. The company's third-quarter dividend payout ratio was 79%. Balance Sheet Total assets were $7.1 billion as of September 30 and the nonperforming assets ratio was 4.24%, increasing from 3.71% a year earlier. The net charge-off ratio for the third quarter was 1.54% and loan loss reserves covered 2.52% of total loans as of September 30. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.67% and the total risk-based capital ratio was 15.98% as of September 30. The tangible common equity ratio was 8.28% according to SNL Financial. Park National raised $27.6 million in common equity from the through the exercise of warrants through the first three quarters and another $4.8 million through the sale of shares to two institutional investors in December. Stock Ratios The shares trade for two times tangible book value according to SNL and 15 times the 2011 consensus earnings estimate of $5 a share. The forward P/E declines to 12 based on the 2012 consensus earnings estimate of $6.32 a share. Analyst Ratings Three of the six analysts covering Park National Corporation rate the shares a buy, while the other three analysts recommend investors hold the shares.

"This thing's giant," Four Peaks Brewing manager Randy Shultz says, eying the dry tap that not too long ago — yesterday, actually — was cranking out mugs of the brewery's popular Pumpkin Porter ale.
"People love it," he says. "We went through 30 barrels in a week."
Asked if Four Peaks will brew more of the amber, spicy elixir, Shultz says simply: "Oh, yeah."
Pumpkins? On tap? It must be seasonal beer time, that quarterly blitz of limited-run brews that aficionados greet with guarded optimism. After all, that springtime Grape Pale Ale could be refreshing, balanced and delicious, or it could taste like, well, beer with grape juice.
Autumn is no different. Come fall, beer drinkers are likely to encounter flavors that can be a bit scary in excess — flavors such as nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin and apricot.
Properly deployed, they could taste fantastic. If not, you're chugging potpourri.
Purely in the interest of consumer advocacy, we sampled a few of the fall seasonal beers currently on the market (check out AJ's Fine Foods for the brews) and offer our impression here. Because fall, and fall beers, are wasting.
Abita Pecan Harvest
Appraisal: This Louisiana-brewed seasonal doesn't smash you upside the head with pecan flavor; it's more like a friendly pat on the back, followed by a hypnotic whiff of autumnal spiciness. In the end, Pecan Harvest scored the highest of the 12 beers, fetching praise for its balanced, malty finish and food-friendly flavor profile. Price: $1.59
Dogfish Head Punkin
Appraisal: Divine overkill. The pumpkin adjuncts in this Delaware-brewed seasonal were no less overwhelming than in the lesser pumpkin beers we sampled, but for some reason, the nutmeg and cinnamon flavors popped a little truer in the Dogfish Head. It was delicious, but — as if confronted by a slice of supremely rich pumpkin pie — none of us could stomach the thought of drinking more than one. Price: $2.79
Lakefront Brewery Inc. Pumpkin Lager
Appraisal: From the state that mongrelized American brewing, Wisconsin, comes this predictably oafish pumpkin-flavored seasonal. Heaped with heavy spices and sweet adjuncts, it tastes more like a cider than a beer. At least the honey-colored hue is pleasant. Price: $1.79
Shipyard Brewing Co. Pumpkinhead
Appraisal: Like being smothered with car deodorizers. One panelist likened its chemical, extract-heavy flavor to flea medicine. Another noted the beer's "confusion of principle" — shouldn't a fall brew have a bit more color and malty muscle? Not the evening's most popular offering, to say the least. Price: $1.59
Dogfish Head Aprihop
Appraisal: A bit of a misnomer, here. Sure, the apricot was delivered as promised, along with a seductive aroma and a fruity-but-not-too-cloying mouth, but whither the hops? If you're going to call a beer Aprihop, you better load up on the stuff, but here it feels like an afterthought. Which is to say, we could barely taste it. Still a nice guzzle, though. Price: $2.39
Kona Brewing Co. Pipeline Porter
Appraisal: Opinion varied wildly on this coffee-flavored Hawaiian seasonal. One panelist who doesn't like dark beers thought it tasted like "an ashtray," but those of us who like the dark stuff relished the unabashed coffee-bean profile. One panelist snarkily called it "a great breakfast beer." Texture-wise, it was a bit thin through the hips. Price: $1.39
Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale
Appraisal: Hardly an Earth-shattering brew, but this pumpkin-flavored offering from the Hefeweizen-happy folks at Blue Moon Brewing Co. drew muted raves for its crisp, golden character and nicely integrated fruit flavors. The kind of seasonal beer you could happily drink to excess. Price: $1.39
Breckenridge Autumn Ale
Appraisal: Finally, a seasonal beer with some backbone! Easily the most aggressively-malted of the brews sampled, this mahogany-hued ale evoked images of crackling evening fires and bearskin make-out sessions. That the finer flavors survive the malt onslaught is impressive — like a gymnast who opts for a difficult, risky routine and nails it. Price: $1.39
Four Peaks Brewing Co.
Where: 1340 E. Eighth St., Tempe (between Rural Road and McClintock Drive, south of University Drive)
Open: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday
Information: (480) 303-9967

(Updates with Issa letter to GM CEO starting in fifth paragraph.)
Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. auto-safety investigators needed time to determine if a General Motors Co. Chevrolet Volt or another vehicle was the source of a fire after a May crash test, which is why they didn't immediately disclose the information, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said.
It's "absolutely not true" that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration withheld information about the electric car's safety, LaHood told reporters today in Washington, when asked about criticism from Congress members including Representative Darrell Issa, a California Republican.
"We have opened an investigation into battery-related fires that may occur some time after a severe crash," LaHood said. "Chevy Volt owners can be confident that their cars are safe to drive."
GM, which has made the Volt one of the centerpieces of its U.S. marketing, has offered loaner cars or to buy back Volts from owners concerned about safety. The Volt has been on the U.S. market for a year and went on sale in all 50 states in October. Detroit-based GM sold 6,142 Volts this year through November.
Issa today asked GM Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson to answer a series of questions on the Volt's "battery system safety deficiencies" and when it discovered there was the possibility of fires.
Toyota Analogy
"As you may remember, there was considerable public outrage when Toyota Motor Corp. delayed disclosing faulty accelerator pedal concerns in an attempt to further study the problem," Issa wrote. His committee held a hearing in February 2010 at which Toyota President Akio Toyoda testified about the automaker's record recalls.
LaHood's agency last month disclosed that a Volt caught fire three weeks after being crash-tested at a NHTSA test facility on May 12. U.S. regulators opened an investigation Nov. 25 into the safety of the Volt's lithium-ion batteries, which are supplied by Seoul-based LG Chem Ltd.
NHTSA isn't investigating Nissan Motor Co.'s Leaf or Tesla Motors Inc.'s Roadster, both of which have lithium-ion batteries.
Crash-Test Rating
Issa also was one of three U.S. House members who sent a letter yesterday to NHTSA Administrator David Strickland saying regulators "deliberately suppressed public knowledge of the safety risk posed by the Chevrolet Volt's lithium-ion battery system."
A subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, headed by Issa, plans a hearing on the matter in late January.
LaHood and Strickland declined to comment on whether the Volt should retain its top crash-safety rating from the U.S. and on what investigators have found so far.
"As soon as we have additional information on our testing and on our investigation, we'll disclose it," LaHood said. Regulators announced the Volt investigation the end of Nov. 25, the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

"Big hit at our house. It was a little bland-ish, and we decided that the next time it's made, it will have something added to it. Onion, or garlic (because even garlic needs garlic), or ham. However, it satisfied that night's needs of "fast" and "easy," and everyone remarked that it needs to be kept onhand for future ..."
"I started with a bag of frozen wings and my 6 qt crockpot. I misread the oil. I read tablespoons instead of teaspoons, and this was after I'd already doubled the recipe. I added WAY too much oil (it spilled into the crock). I added jarred minced garlic with abandon. I carefully measured the soy, ginger and honey. I substituted dried minced onion f..."
"My picky-eater 5-year-old son is currently devouring a portion. If *he* eats it, it's a winner! He helped to make it, too!"
"Easy to prep. Used about a cup of pre-shredded cheese. Husband went back for seconds, and my picky-eater 5 yr old is devouring his share like nobody's business. I added some powdered garlic and paprika.Yeah, I'll be making this again."
"I know this as "Nursery Toast," and my mom used to make it for me when I was a toddler. I use a shot glass to make the hole."
"I generally make this with pork shoulder, for my weekend gaming group. There have been fights over the last serving :) Also, I add a cup of uncooked 5 minute rice to it when I add the sour cream, and use that instead of noodles."
"I add in a generous dollop of minced garlic to the beef, adding in the salt and pepper as it's all browning in the skillet. My family ADORES this! I also use a larger dish, so the biscuit topping is thin. My husband especially enjoys it."
"Made'em for T-giving at the office, got 80 cookies out of it. *Four* returned home. I like to have the butter at room temperature before throwing it in the mixer with the sugars."
"I would use a bit less yeast... I used the 2.5 teaspoons, and BOY-HOWDY, did it rise! And then it deflated... But it's a VERY tasty bread, and likely to become our standard sandwich bread."
"I made this with a 32 oz jar of baby dills. Sliced'em in half and otherwise prepped as directed (heated the koolaid concoction just enough to melt the sugar). Let them sit in the fridge for a week (the warm syrup made the jar re-seal when it cooled). I didn't even get to bring home an empty jar from the BBQ I took them to, they went THAT fast! :)"
