NEW YORK — Hopeful signs that the worst may be over for the economy boosted Americans’ moods in April, sending a closely watched barometer of sentiment to the highest level since November. The New York-based Conference Board said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index rose more than 12 points to 39.2, up from a revised 26.9 in March. The reading marks the highest level since November’s 44.7 and well surpasses economists’ expectations for 29.5. The consumer confidence survey showed a substantial improvement in consumers’ short- term outlook, including even their assessment of the job picture. Economists closely monitor consumer senti- ment because consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity. The huge jump in confidence follows a small increase in March, following a freefall in February. Still, the index remains well below year-ago levels of 62.8. The April gains were fueled by “a significant DAVE GETZSCHMAN/Los Angeles Times improvement in the short-term outlook,”Lynn Hollister, Calif., is a quiet agricultural town northeast of Monterey, Calif., surrounded by farmland. It’s a far cry from the imaginary beach town created by Franco, director of The Conference Board Abercrombie & Fitch for its line of surf-inspired clothing.

Five teams. Three courses. Fifteen delicious dishes.

Along the way the Dutch oven chefs gave some insight into how they get the most out of their meals.

Just shake and rub the dry mix into the ribs before placing the meat in lightly greased Dutch, and smother with your favorite BBQ sauce.
