Stocks slide as US growth estimate trimmed in Q3
The Commerce Department revised U S growth to a 2 percent annual rate for July through September, down from 2 5 percent and missing economists expectations. The Dow fell 53.59 points to 11 493 72 led by Alcoa as markets worry about Europe’s debt crisis and potential U S credit rating effects from a budget impasse. Monday’s drop followed congressional deadlock over deficit cuts fueling fears of automatic spending reductions.

Murphysboro workers face layoffs with 18 openings at Harrisburg and Pere Marquette youth facilities and 158 adult-prison vacancies nearby.
