LinkedIn sends me surprisingly good email. They've posted this, with the following linked stories:

Data from the banking industry is showing that the slow US economic expansion may be about to stall. In its quarterly report on the sector, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. found that total loans and leases by banks and other insured institutions rose by just 3.7% from a year earlier at the end of June. That is the third consecutive quarterly deceleration and is down from a 6.7% pace of growth a year ago.
