Random shooting, bombings kill 15 across Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) ? A series of attacks across Iraq on Sunday killed 15 people, including a random shooting and the killing of a judge, authorities said.
Violence has been on the rise in Iraq all year, but the number of attacks against civilians and security forces has spiked during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which began early last month. The surge in the bloodshed is raising fears of a return to the widespread killing that pushed the country to the brink of civil war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
The deadliest attack took place late Sunday night when gunmen in a speeding car opened fire randomly on a gathering of people on a street in the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, killing four people and wounding three, said Kirkuk deputy police chief Maj. Gen. Torhan Abdul-Rahman Youssef.
A bomb later exploded inside a cafe in western Baghdad shortly before midnight, killing three and wounding 12, police said.
Earlier in the day, police officials said a roadside bomb struck an army patrol near the northern city of Mosul, killing three soldiers.
In Tikrit in central Iraq, a car bomb killed Judge Sajid Abdul-Amir as he was driving to his work, police said.
In eastern Baghdad, two people were killed in a blast, police said. Meanwhile, mortar rounds landed on houses in the capital's western suburbs, killing two people, authorities said.
Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures toll for the attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to the media.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, though security forces and civilians are frequently targeted by al-Qaida's Iraq branch.
With Saturday's attacks, at least 612 people have been killed since the start of Ramadan, according to an Associated Press count. Along with security officials being killed, there have been multiple bloody attacks targeting civilians in cafes as they broke their daily fast. It's been the bloodiest Ramadan in Iraq since 2007.

Billy Bob Thornton to star in TV's 'Fargo' series
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ? Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton will star in the TV version of the film "Fargo."
FX network boss John Landgraf said Friday that Thornton has signed on to a limited series based on the 1996 crime comedy-drama. It's scheduled for a 10-episode run on FX next spring.
Thornton will play a rootless con artist in the series. No characters will be carried over from the film, which brought a best-actress Oscar to Frances McDormand.
Even so, Landgraf says the series will be "remarkably true to the film." Its creators, Joel and Ethan Coen, are associated with the series.
Thornton has had many acclaimed film performances, and won an Oscar for writing the 1996 drama "Sling Blade," in which he also starred.
No other cast members have been announced.

US employers add 162K jobs; rate falls to 7.4 pct.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? U.S. employers added 162,000 jobs in July, a modest increase and the fewest since March. The gain was still enough to help lower the unemployment rate to a 4?-year low of 7.4 percent, a hopeful sign in an otherwise lackluster report.
The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment declined from 7.6 percent in June as more Americans found jobs and others stopped looking for one and were no longer counted as unemployed.
Still, the government said employers created a combined 26,000 fewer jobs in May and June than previously estimated. Americans worked fewer hours in July, and their average pay dipped. The figures suggest that weak economic growth might be making businesses cautious about hiring.
For the year, job growth remains solid. The economy has created an average 200,000 jobs a month since January. But the pace has slowed in the past three months to 175,000.
"A clearly weaker-than-expected report, but one should not overstate it ? the unemployment rate continues to trend down and average job growth of 175,000 will be more than enough to continue to push it lower," Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital, said in a note to clients.
Reaction to the employment report on Wall Street was slightly negative. Stock index futures gave up early gains and were little changed shortly after the report came out. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.64 percent from 2.71 percent as investors bought U.S. government bonds.
The Federal Reserve will review the July employment data in deciding whether to slow its $85 billion a month in bond purchases in September, as many economists have predicted it will do.
Weaker hiring could make the Fed hold off on any pullback in bond buying, which has helped keep long-term borrowing costs down. Yet it's possible that the lower unemployment rate, along with the steady job gains the past year, will convince the Fed that the job market is strengthening consistently.
"While July itself was a bit disappointing, the Fed will be looking at the cumulative improvement," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics. "On that score, the unemployment rate has fallen from 8.1 percent last August, to 7.4 percent this July, which is a significant improvement."
But Beth Ann Bovino, senior economist at Standard & Poor's, said she thinks Friday's job report will make the Fed delay any slowing in its bond purchases.
"September seems very unlikely now," she says. "I'm wondering if December is still in the cards."
The government's revised totals show that May's job growth was downgraded to 176,000, below the 195,000 previously estimated. June's was lowered to 188,000, from the 195,000 reported last month.
The job gains in July were mostly in lower-paying industries, such as retail, hotels and restaurants.
But manufacturing added 6,000 jobs, driven by strong gains at auto plants. Those were the first job gains at U.S. factories since February. And professional services such as finance, accounting and information technology also increased.
Governments added jobs for the first time since April, driven by the fifth straight month of hiring by local government.
The economy grew at a subpar 1.7 percent annual rate in April-June quarter, the government said Wednesday. While that was an improvement over the previous two quarters, it's still far too weak to rapidly lower unemployment.
Recent data suggest that the economy could strengthen in the second half of the year.
A survey Thursday showed that factories increased production and received a surge of new orders in July, propelling the fastest expansion in more than two years.
The survey, by the Institute for Supply Management, also showed that the housing recovery is spurring more output by lumber companies, furniture makers and appliance manufacturers.
Businesses have ordered more industrial machinery and other equipment for four straight months. Europe's troubled economies are showing signs of recovery, potentially a lift to U.S. exports.
U.S. automakers are reporting their best sales since the recession, a sign that Americans are confident enough in their finances to make large purchases. Car sales rose 14 percent in July from 12 months earlier to 1.3 million.
Healthy sales have encouraged more hiring by Ford Motor Co. The company said last week that it will hire 800 salaried professionals this year, mostly in areas such as information technology, product development and quality control.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn suddenly finds herself in demand on national political television talk shows, and they all want to ask her the same question: Should Anthony Weiner drop out of the race?
Quinn, the pugnacious City Council speaker who has now vaulted ahead of the former congressman in the wake of his latest sexting scandal, answers questions about her embattled rival the same way: She touts her own track record while carefully disparaging his "pattern of reckless behavior."
But, unlike other Democratic rivals, Quinn has always stopped short of calling for Weiner to bow out. Truth is, she may not want him to go anywhere.
Weiner's recent travails have ended up giving Quinn much more valuable media exposure, allowing her to portray herself as the "adult" in the race and contrast her leadership to her married rival's sordid behavior. Staying in the race could make Weiner the perfect foil, observers say.
"The debacle that we've seen over the last week and a half now, is going to ? could potentially ? help Quinn if she's able to embrace it," New York University political communications professor Jeanne Zaino said Wednesday.
Quinn's campaign has taken pains to contrast her legislative scorecard while ruling the City Council for seven years to Weiner's thin track record in Congress, where in 12 years he passed only one bill.
And political experts love Quinn's chances against Weiner if they are the two candidates to make it into a runoff, which could happen if no one achieves 40 percent of the vote in the Sept. 10 primary.
"That's the matchup she wants," said Doug Muzzio, political science professor at Baruch College. "Her strengths look the best against him, especially since he has again revealed himself to be a self-destructive candidate."
The potential benefits for Quinn if Weiner drops out are more difficult to discern since there's little overlap in their pools of voter support. A Quinnipiac College poll released this week shows Quinn's support rising only from 27 percent to 30 percent of likely Democratic voters if Weiner drops out.
That poll, which surveyed 446 likely voters, had Quinn followed by Public Advocate Bill de Blasio at 21 percent, ex-city comptroller Bill Thompson at 20 percent and Weiner at 16 percent.
Quinn, who's looking to become the city's first female and openly gay mayor, has continued a brisk campaign schedule amid the latest Weiner revelations. She's trotted out the support of women's groups and unveiled her first TV ad a week before the scandal broke.
The final line of the 30-second ad is a clear shot at Weiner, who talks incessantly about the middle class.
"I'm Christine Quinn," she says. "While others talk about fighting for the middle class, I've been doing it."
Quinn's resurgence has come as Weiner's campaign has been besieged by questions from the media and voters about exchanging sexually explicit messages with women online even after that behavior forced him from Congress.
On Wednesday, Weiner's chief spokeswoman apologized for an expletive-laced tirade aimed at a former intern who wrote an unflattering first-person article about her experience working on Weiner's campaign.
In stark contrast to Quinn, de Blasio and Thompson have forcefully called for the scandal-scarred candidate to bow out. Neither candidate had climbed higher than third in any poll before Weiner was revealed to have continued sending illicit messages even after he resigned from Congress in 2011.
Political analysts say de Blasio was most hurt by Weiner's earlier success, since the two men cut a similar political persona: progressive, feisty, with their base of support found in the boroughs outside Manhattan. De Blasio's second-place showing in this week's Quinnipiac poll is by far his strongest in the race so far.
Thompson, the race's only black candidate, also would appear to benefit from Weiner's departure.
Thompson's team has spoken openly of its hope to win decisively among black voters, yet Weiner has remained the most popular candidate among them. Weiner pulled in 24 percent of black voters in the Quinnipiac poll, and Thompson would seem poised to grab more of them than de Blasio or Quinn.
Weiner has vowed to stay in the race to succeed independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Care and Feeding
President Obama came to Capitol Hill today to give congressional Democrats a pep talk ahead of the August recess, urging Democrats to go home and defend immigration reform and the health care law.
But really, the trip up Pennsylvania Avenue was about meeting congressional Democrats on their home turf to reassure them that he wasn't going to get rolled by the GOP this fall. (It's Obama's 10th trip to the Capitol to meet with lawmakers, according to CBS News stat hound Mark Knoller.) Obama reiterated his position that he won't negotiate more spending cuts to raise the nation's debt limit, as Republicans are demanding.
The team-building meetings came after news broke that the president's chief of staff has been quietly meeting for weeks with Republican senators to search for a grand fiscal bargain. So, as one Democratic aide put it, it was important for Obama to do some care and feeding of his own team ahead of the coming fall showdowns.
Because if things get ugly, he'll need his guys to have his back.

The Muslim Brotherhood characterized the decision as one made by a "conspiratorial gang" and said there are no plans to break up the demonstrations. "This is an open sit-in.

SECOND-QUARTER GDP GROWTH EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS. The U.S. gross domestic product expanded at an annualized 1.7 percent from April to June, outpacing expectations of a 0.9 percent increase, The Wall Street Journal reports. In addition, data revisions show that GDP expansion in 2012 occurred at a rate of 2.8 percent, up from an earlier 2.2 percent estimate. Reaction from economists was largely muted, however. "Although GDP growth in the second quarter came in above expectations, combined with the downward revision to first quarter growth the story remains the same. The economy is expanding but growth remains disappointing," said Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services. Read more
TAX OVERHAUL IN THE PUBLIC EYE AFTER OBAMA'S 'GRAND BARGAIN' SPEECH. President Obama's Tuesday speech on tax reform may have breathed new life into a bipartisan tax overhaul plan that has been languishing for months in Congress, The New York Times reports. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., have been speaking with business owners and policymakers for months in an effort to formulate a fairer, simpler tax code. While some of the president's proposals conflict with those of Baucus and Camp, the two chairmen of Congress's tax-writing committees see Obama's backing of tax reform as "a major development." However, a major overhaul of the tax code will be difficult in partisan Washington. Read more

NEW FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR WON'T BE SELECTED UNTIL FALL. White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said today that President Obama has not chosen the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, and will not do so until the fall, Politico reports.

The possibility of Obama tapping Summers worries some senators, who feel that Yellen is better suited for the job. A letter signed by 19 Democratic senators and one independent last week urged the president to nominate Yellen. Obama reportedly defended Summers during a meeting today with House Democrats, but reiterated that he had not yet made a decision on the nomination. Read more

BEDTIME READING
GOOD COP, BAD COP? There are two sides to Jill Abramson, the executive editor of The New York Times. "There's 'Good Jill,'" she says, "and there's 'Bad Jill.'" In fact, Abramson has been described in a multitude of ways. In an April 2013 Politicoarticle, anonymous former and current staffers of The Times described her as "condescending," "disengaged," and "unreasonable," among other things. (Abramson admits that the Politico piece brought her to tears, adding that "I should say it went right off me, but I'm just being honest.") But Newsweek's Lloyd Grove, in a profile, writes that she's "down-to-earth, whip-smart, funny, and fun." Her term as executive editor is over at the end of 2019, but it's unlikely that she'll retire for good. "They're gonna have to take me out feet first, or chop off my head," she said. Read more

Gunman Among 7 Dead After Florida Apartment Shooting
An argument at a quiet Hialeah, Fla., apartment complex turned deadly when a gunman killed six people before he was shot to death by a SWAT team after an hours-long standoff, police said.
Among the six victims ? three male and three female ? was a married couple who managed the building, Italo and Samira Pisciotti.
Police said the couple had gone to talk to a tenant who had filed a complaint. Moments later, gunshots rang out.
"A neighbor put in a complaint and they went to talk to another neighbor and that's all we know," the couple's daughter, Shamira Pisciotti, told ABC News.
Police were called to the apartment complex at around 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Hialeah Police Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez told ABC News that before authorities arrived, the gunman was walking through the five-story apartment complex firing randomly at people in the building's hallways and elevators.
The gunman, who is an unidentified male, killed a father who was walking his two children into an apartment from a balcony across the street, police said.
The man realized that shots were being fired and sprinted toward the front door to get his children to safety. While was fatally shot, his children were unharmed, Rodriguez said.
The shooter also killed three people in a unit on the fourth floor.
The gunman was eventually killed by SWAT team members in a different fourth floor apartment where he was holding two people hostage, police said.
While negotiators spent hours trying to convince the man to surrender, talks "just fell apart" with the gunman, and "they made the decision to go in there and save and rescue the hostages," Rodriguez told the Associated Press.
The hostages were unharmed from the ordeal.
While residents were able to escape during the gunfire, some left their doors open which allowed the gunman access to their balconies, Rodriguez said.
Many spent hours in nearby shopping stores on lock down overnight while police tried to clear the scene.
Residents were allowed back into the buildings at approximately 5 a.m. this morning, with the exception of those with units on the fourth and fifth floors.
Police are working to identifying the gunman and the remaining victims, as well as the shooter's motive.

Obama: I won't 'twiddle my thumbs' waiting for GOP
(CNN) - President Barack Obama explained why, amid a series of executive branch controversies, his renewed focus on the economy matters: it's not only about financial stability, but about equal opportunity.
The message he sees as "jobs and justice" from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington 50 years ago still rings true, Obama told The New York Times in an interview published Saturday evening.
To the many Americans who today are uncertain about their future, the 1963 march taught valuable lessons on racial equality and opportunities for "working folks," he argued.
The remarks, days after the president spoke on race and the Trayvon Martin case, came while he was on a campaign-style economic tour.
"Racial tensions won't get better; they may get worse, because people will feel as if they've got to compete with some other group to get scraps from a shrinking pot" if individuals do not see a stable fiscal future, Obama said.
"If the economy is growing, everybody feels invested. Everybody feels as if we're rolling in the same direction," he continued.
Obama's midweek schedule looked familiar to watchers of his 2012 campaign and first White House term, when he favored speaking to crowds at colleges and businesses around the nation over Washington venues when advocating his economic priorities.
After visiting universities in Illinois and Missouri and speaking on the importance of education to the economy, he flew to the port in Jacksonville, Florida, where he called for investment in infrastructure. On Monday, he will speak at a Tennessee shipping center about manufacturing, jobs, and economic growth; then on Wednesday, he will travel to Capitol Hill to meet with Democrats in the House and Senate.
He cast aside the questions about such issues as the National Security Agency leaks, Internal Revenue Service political scrutiny and U.S. handling of the Benghazi, Libya, attack last September. "With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball," he said, although he was not specific about which controversies he was referring to.
The White House plans to continue the economic push into the fall.
In the same time frame, he is also expected to make perhaps the most important economic decision of his second term: naming a new individual to chair the Federal Reserve. Ben Bernanke's term as chairman is set to expire in January.
Obama told the Times he wanted someone who would go beyond tracking inflation and focus on market stability.
"The idea is to promote those things in service of the lives of ordinary Americans getting better," he said. "I want a Fed chairman that can step back and look at that objectively and say, Let's make sure that we're growing the economy."
He disputed Republicans' claims about job creation should the controversial Keystone pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast be constructed. The 2,000 temporary construction jobs he predicted - far less than the 20,000 some Republicans have said to expect - would be a "a blip relative to the need" for job creation.
He suggested that concerns over the pipeline's environmental impact could be addressed to his satisfaction because "there is no doubt that Canada at the source in those tar sands could potentially be doing more to mitigate carbon release."
In the interview, the president acknowledged that people are "anxious" and "frustrated" about their own financial future even while the economy overall improves.
Some do not see the potential for upward mobility, which he called "part and parcel of who we were as Americans."
It predates the fiscal crises of the last decade, he said, and despite the bloated national debt, the federal government's austerity measures have hurt the government's ability to effect change in diverse areas such as climate change and immigration.
"I want to make sure that all of us in Washington are investing as much time, as much energy, as much debate on how we grow the economy and grow the middle class as we've spent over the last two to three years arguing about how we reduce the deficits," he said, blasting what he called "a damaging framework in Washington."
And he issued a stern warning to Capitol Hill Republicans: "I'm not just going to sit back if the only message from some of these folks is no on everything, and sit around and twiddle my thumbs for the next 1,200 days."
A series of polls this month have shown Obama's approval rating is below the 50% mark. But his scores - in the mid- and upper-40s - rank well above those of Congress, which came in at 21% and 12% approval in two surveys conducted about a week ago.

US consumer sentiment reaches 6-year high in July
WASHINGTON (AP) ? Americans are more confident about the economy than at any time since July 2007, a survey found, suggesting consumers will spend more and accelerate growth in the months ahead.
The University of Michigan said Friday that its final reading of consumer sentiment in July was 85.1. That's up one point from June but nearly 13 points higher than a year ago.
Rising home prices and steady job gains are boosting household wealth and income. The proportion of Americans who expect their inflation-adjusted incomes to rise in coming year is greater than at any time since late 2007, the survey found. And the percentage of Americans who say their home values have risen is also at a six-year high.
Consumer confidence is closely watched because their spending accounts for 70 percent of growth.
The University of Michigan polls roughly 500 people throughout the month and issues two readings. Americans' expectations for future growth dipped, while their assessment of current conditions improved.
Consumers have been resilient despite paying higher taxes this year. Their spending growth likely slowed in the April-June quarter after rising at the fastest pace in two years in the first quarter.
But with hiring solid and confidence rising, most economists forecast consumers will step up spending and help propel economic growth later this year.

Stock market ends mixed after uneven earnings news
NEW YORK (AP) ? Uneven corporate earnings news left the stock market mixed on Tuesday.
Most major indexes closed slightly lower, except for the Dow Jones industrial average. Yet even there the gain was due to the increase in one stock, United Technologies.
Better earnings from big banks, health insurers and other companies have helped drive the stock market higher this month. On Tuesday, however, the encouraging and the discouraging seemed evenly matched. Wendy's and United Technologies surged after posting stronger results than financial analysts expected. Netflix and the Altria Group, maker of Marlboro cigarettes, sank after their results fell short.
"In the absence of major economic news, the focus is on earnings this week," said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial. "And there's nothing today to drive the market dramatically one way or another."
The Dow rose 22.19 points, or 0.1 percent, to 15,567.74. If not for a 3 percent gain in United Technologies, the Dow would have closed down a point.
United Technologies rose $3.01 to $105.12 after the conglomerate said strong orders for commercial airline parts and elevators helped lift its profit.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 3.14 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,692.39. The Nasdaq composite fell 21.11 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,579.27.
It was a busy day for earnings as 35 companies in the S&P 500 were scheduled to turn in results. The second-quarter scorecard looks good so far. More than six out of every 10 companies have posted earnings that surpassed Wall Street's expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Analysts forecast that second-quarter earnings for companies in the S&P 500 increased 3.8 percent over the same period last year.
"The bar has been set pretty low," said Joel Huffman, senior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. So, it's hardly a surprise that many companies are able to jump over it, he said.
Sales are another story. Analysts expect revenue to shrink 0.7 percent in the second quarter. Huffman said he's encouraged that many banks and makers of consumer-discretionary goods have reported stronger U.S. sales. "It's an indication of the underlying growth in the U.S. economy versus other parts of the world," he said.
Apple rose $21, or 5 percent, to $439.99 in after-hours trading, when the company reported earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street's forecasts.
Among other stocks making big moves:
? Wendy's jumped 55 cents, or 8.2 percent, to $7.23. The fast-food company's net income came in above Wall Street's expectations. Wendy's also announced plans to sell 425 restaurants as franchises and raised its quarterly dividend by a penny to 5 cents.
? Marlboro maker Altria Group said its quarterly results fell short of analysts' expectations. Altria's stock sank 89 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $35.99.
? Netflix dropped $11.70, or 4.5 percent, to $250.26. The company said late Monday that it signed up fewer subscribers than financial analysts had projected. Big expectations have propelled Netflix's stock up 170 percent since the start of the year, adding more pressure on the company to deliver amazing numbers.
In the market for U.S. government bonds, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.50 percent from 2.48 percent late Monday. Long-term interest rates have swung in a wide range since May, a result of traders speculating over when the Federal Reserve will begin pulling back on its bond-buying program.
The rate on the 10-year note, a benchmark for most loans, was trading at 1.61 percent on May 1. It rose as high as 2.75 percent by the second week of July.

President Mugabe attacks Obama for tying aid for Africa and the decriminalisation of homosexuality
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has criticised US President Barack Obama for tying aid for African countries to the decriminalisation of homosexuality.
Mugabe made the comments whilst addressing thousands of Zanu PF supporters on Tuesday.
He said:??Obama this man born of an African father and a white mother told us that US can only provide financial aid if we accepted homosexuality as a country.?
Going on to say that Zimbabwe would never legalise homosexuality, he said:??No gay couples could have children even if you lock them up for five years in a house.?
?We have to take these seats back even if it means taking them from the python that swallowed them in the last election,? he continued.
Mugabe has previously referred to gay people as being ?worse than dogs and pigs.?
In 2005, Prince Charles drew controversy in Britain when he shook hands with him at the funeral of Pope John Paul II.
Back in May,?Morgan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe?s prime minister was criticised by gay rights campaigners in the country for denouncing homosexuality and reportedly saying marriage ?should be between a man and a?woman.?

Oil above $108 on supplies drop, hot money influx
BANGKOK (AP) Oil added to gains above $108 a barrel Monday, underpinned by three weeks of declining U.S. stockpiles and a rush of speculative money into the crude futures market.
Benchmark crude for September delivery was up 34 cents to $108.21 a barrel at early afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The now expired August contract closed up 1 cent at $108.05 on Friday after trading as high as $109.32 earlier in the day.
American motorists, meanwhile, are bracing for further increases in gas pump prices this summer after average national prices rose 12 cents in the past week alone.
Sharp falls in U.S. inventories of crude oil and gasoline have contributed to a 15 percent jump in the Nymex benchmark, also known as West Texas Intermediate crude, since June 21. Some analysts say speculators are also pushing the price higher.
Energy analysts at The Schork Group Inc. said open interest, which is the number of open futures contracts, is at record levels as is the participation of Wall Street hedge funds and investors such as commodity pool operators. They said in a report that Wall Street now owns six times as many barrels of oil in the WTI futures market as there are sitting at the Nymex oil delivery terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma.
Benchmark oil's jump has been so sharp that is has closed most of its discount to Brent crude that is traded on the ICE Futures exchange in London. Brent was up 39 cents to $108.38 a barrel.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
Wholesale gasoline added 1.5 cent to $3.073 a gallon.
Heating oil rose 0.9 cent to $3.10 a gallon.
Natural gas fell 4.6 cents to $3.743 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Oil falls to near $106 after US home sales drop
The price of oil fell to around $106 a barrel Tuesday after weak U.S. home sales figures and ahead of a weekly report on America's inventories of crude that was expected to show another drop in supplies.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for September delivery was down 96 cents at $105.98 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Oil slid $1.14 on Monday after the government said sales of previously occupied homes in the U.S. slipped 1.2 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.08 million. Any sign that the U.S. economic recovery is slowing can cause the oil price to fall.
Analysts said speculative trading was also likely behind the sudden turnaround in the oil price.
"Profit-taking by short-term-oriented financial investors is doubtless to blame for the sharp fall," said a report from Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "The fact that the WTI price twice failed to achieve the $109 per barrel mark is likely to have prompted initial investors to unwind their positions. That said, it is possible that these same investors will re-enter at lower prices."
WTI, or West Texas Intermediate, is the crude oil type behind the benchmark Nymex contract.
Investors will later be monitoring fresh information on U.S. stockpiles of crude and refined products.
Data for the week ending July 19 is expected to show a draw of 2.6 million barrels in crude oil stocks and a build of 800,000 barrels in gasoline stocks, according to a survey of analysts by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.
The American Petroleum Institute will release its report on oil stocks later Tuesday, while the report from the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration ? the market benchmark ? will be out on Wednesday.
Sharp drops in U.S. crude supplies for the past three weeks have helped propel oil to its highest price in about 16 months.
Brent crude, which is traded on the ICE Futures exchange in London, was down 29 cents at $107.86 a barrel.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
? Wholesale gasoline lost 1.9 cents to $2.9992 a gallon.
? Heating oil retreated 1.08 cents to $3.058 a gallon.
? Natural gas gained 0.6 cent to $3.683 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Stand Your Ground protesters meet with Florida governor
Stand Your Ground protest: Gov. Scott met with seven protesters, part of a group into its third day of a sit-in at Scott's office. They discussed racial profiling, stand your ground legislation, and more.
At left, a Capitol Police officer locks the door to Florida Gov. Rick Scott's office as protestors sit in the hallway Tuesday July 16, at the Capitol in Tallahassee, Fla. Melanie Andrade (standing, in the 'Can we dream together?' shirt) is the FAMU Dream Defenders president who met with Gov. Scott on July 18. Dream Defenders organized a sit-in of Scott's office in response to the ?not guilty? verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin.
Phil Sears/AP
EnlargeFlorida Gov. Rick Scott returned to the state Capitol late Thursday and met with a group of protesters upset about the George Zimmerman verdict who'd been camping out at his office while demanding changes to the state's self-defense laws.

During a nearly-hour long meeting, Scott listened to seven protesters air their concerns about the verdict and descriptions of racial profiling. They were part of a group into its third day of a sit-in at Scott's office.
But in the end the Republican governor told the group that he would not call a special session to ask legislators to repeal the state's "stand your ground" law, which has become linked to Zimmerman's fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder last weekend after claiming he shot the unarmed teen in self-defense.
Scott, who said he had spoken earlier in the evening with Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, instead said he would call for a day of prayer on Sunday for "unity."
He also urged the protesters to talk to local legislators if they wanted to change state law.
"Each of you have a representative, each of you has a senator, I'd sit down with each one," Scott said. "That's how the process works."
It is considered unlikely that the GOP-controlled legislature would revisit the law.
The governor also asked them to give him ideas on how to deal with racial profiling.
Near the end of the meeting, Scott told them: "I appreciate you and I look forward to seeing you again."
After the meeting, protesters reiterated that Scott should show "leadership" and call legislators into special session. They said they would remain in the Capitol until he agreed to their demands.
Scott had been out of town and away from the Capitol most of this week.
Protesters upset that Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin marched on the Capitol on Tuesday and began occupying Scott's office.
More than two-dozen protesters remained in the Capitol after hours late Thursday and a group was spending the night again on Thursday. They have brought in pillows and mats to sleep in the hallway while supporters have brought them food.
The meeting between Scott and the protesters was polite. He spent time asking the protesters whether they were in college and what part of the state they were from.
But they also laid out their demands ? which they say includes dealing with problems that they say affect young people in the state, especially those who are black or Latino.
Melanie Andrade, who said her family came from the Cape Verde Islands to work at Disney World, told the governor how she lived in a gated community in Central Florida but that she and her brother would constantly be asked for ID by police even when they were standing in their own driveway.
Andrade and other protesters said some of the problems they have witnessed could be addressed by passing a comprehensive law named after Trayvon Martin that would include repealing the "stand your ground" law that allows a person to use deadly force if they believe their life is in danger.
"We didn't come here just to yell, we came to present a plan," said Phillip Agnew,?executive?director of the Dream Defenders, one of the groups organizing protests.
