Palm Beach County’s average stood at $2.52 Thursday, down 3 cents from a week ago. |
If that continues, gasoline will be produced at a rate that exceeds demand, which remains muted compared to last year. Oil prices could hover around $50 a barrel and gas prices would still drop 5 to 10 cents a gallon in the near term, Jenkins said. |
Wholesale gasoline prices dropped 16 percent on the futures market Thursday. Oil prices are also declining. West Texas Intermediate traded below $48.50 a barrel on the NYMEX before noon, falling nearly $1.25 from yesterday’s settlement. |
Analysts believe oil will likely trade in the upper end of the $40 to the low to mid $50s through the rest of the year, keeping the cost of producing gasoline low. |
What's The Scariest Scene From Any Science Fiction Or Fantasy Movie? |
Science fiction and fantasy take us deep into the heart of the unknown — and there's nothing scarier than the unknown, really. So it shouldn't be surprising that genre movies are full of terrifying scenes. But what's the absolute scariest moment from any science fiction or fantasy movie? |
We provided our own list, linked above — but what's your pick? Please include a picture or clip for your scary moment. And please mention the name of the movie, and why that scene was so horrifying. Thanks! |
Top image: Star Trek II's brain worms scene. Still can't believe they got away with that in a PG movie. Instant nightmare fuel, for months afterwards. |
Center Greg Kite, who played on two NBA championship teams with the Boston Celtics, was picked up on waivers Wednesday by the Clippers. |
"I'm very excited and intrigued about joining the Clippers," Kite said. "It could be a great boost for me because I'll get the opportunity to play." |
Kite isn't expected to arrive in time to play in tonight's sold-out game against the Lakers at the Sports Arena (Channel 9, 7:30). |
Kite became expendable when the Celtics signed center Artis Gilmore last month. |
To make room for Kite, the Clippers waived rookie forward Norris Coleman, who averaged 5.3 points in 29 games this season. |
Kite, 6-11 and 250 pounds, was the Celtics' No. 1 selection in the 1983 draft out of BYU. Kite played in just 13 games this season due to a lower back strain. |
Clipper Coach Gene Shue said of Kite: "I think this is a step forward. We've been looking for help at center. He sets good screens, rebounds and runs the court well. He's a versatile player. |
"I think this is just the beginning of things (personnel changes) that could happen. We won 10 games in the first half of the season and we'd like to do things to improve." |
Kite will probably make his debut Tuesday night in Phoenix. The game against the Suns will be the Clippers' first after the All-Star break. |
Kite played perhaps the finest game of his career against the Lakers in the third game of the 1987 NBA finals at Boston Garden. Although he didn't score, Kite grabbed nine rebounds and played good defense against Laker center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the Celtics beat the Lakers, 109-103. |
Meanwhile, Shue will reach a milestone if the Clippers (10-31) lose tonight's game to the Lakers (34-8). |
Shue, 56, will become the first pro basketball coach to lose 800 games. |
He has a record of 767 wins and 799 losses in 21 years as a coach. |
Wired has an interesting feature on MySpace Music, which was supposed to be a boon for the music industry when it launched a half year ago. Free streaming music from all four major record labels and support for playlists seemed like a good idea. |
Unfortunately, the service had some serious usability issues, such as limits on playlist size and a slow music player, and the song selection wasn’t comprehensive. Courtney Holt, who stepped in to lead MySpace Music in January, three months after launch, is candid about the problems in his chat with Wired, calling the ... |
And for a free service, it could be worse. The ability to search for bands and build playlists directly from the results is nice, and I like the pop-out player. I’m wondering why playlist management is stunted — it can’t be done in real-time and new songs add themselves to the top of the list, rather than the bottom — ... |
Holt is also looking to “bring back the album,” as Wired puts it. Entire pages will be dedicated to individual albums, packed with bonus features and a forum for fans to discuss the music. With greater support for indie bands, MySpace Music is starting to look pretty robust. |
If I were the record labels, I’d be looking to duplicate this service on other social networks. Design-wise, I’ve always found MySpace to be sloppy, and that’s keeping me away more than the content or the way it’s managed. Obviously adding streaming music to my network of choice (Facebook) can’t happen overnight, but I... |

BIRMINGHAM – J.O. Johnson coach Jack Doss called on his wife, Lori, after a record-setting championship Saturday. |
The Jaguars' 59-52 win over Ramsay for the Class 5A title marked the eighth state championship of Doss' career. |
That's the most in AHSAA history. |
"I'm blessed," Doss said. "I've been around a lot of great players, and my job is to make sure they're a better tomorrow than they are today. |
"Sometimes, they don't like that." |
Doss also became the second coach to win titles at three AHSAA schools. He won two at Hayes, five at Butler and now one at Johnson. |
Does he have a jewelry box dedicated to each school? |
"My wife, the good-looking redhead over there, is in charge of the jewelry box," Doss said. |
Sophomore superstar John Petty had 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting to lead the Jaguars (32-4). Jordan Millsap's 15 points paced the Rams (30-6). |
Danny Petty is the other coach to win titles at three schools. He won once at Johnson (1987), Madison Academy (2006) and Bob Jones (2010). |
The Patriots, their roster festooned with several more freshmen than driver's licenses, won their first state title. |
"They have a driver's license to drive me crazy," coach JoVanka Ward said. |
Ajah Wayne had 22 points, while Hannah Barber and Tori Webb added 11 each for Homewood (30-4). All three are freshmen. |
Junior Cierra Johnson's 24 points led the Leopards (18-9). |
Hoover, known for state championships, finally has its first in boys basketball. |
Austin Cherry scored 14 points and the Bucs (27-9) knocked off the two-time defending state champion Spartans (27-8). |
"I've always thought we were a football and basketball school," said senior forward Leonard Wood, who was a star receiver. |
"I've always felt we could win in both." |
Jack Kline and Terrell Guy had 15 points each for Mountain Brook, which was 1-of-18 on 3-pointers. |

(Happy Valley, OR) -- The driver of a TriMet bus that ran over and killed a 60-year-old man near Clackamas Town Center is on leave while police investigate. Oregon State Police say Elias French fell under the back wheels of the bus as it was pulling away from a stop at 82nd Avenue and Causey Way Wednesday evening. The ... |
A baby bird of prey has gone missing from a pest control business. |
Bentley, a Gyr Saker who only hatched this year, went missing on Sunday, October 28 while training in Snetterton. |
The falcon hybrid is wearing a transmitter but his owners are unable to get a signal. |
Barbara Royale, who runs the national Independent Bird Register, said that anyone who spots Bentley should not attempt to touch him without training but should take a photo and contact the Register on 01617 905613. |
The Cardinals claimed right-hander Tyson Ross off waivers from San Diego on Sunday. |
Ther former Cal and A’s pitcher is 6-9 with a 4.45 ERA in 22 starts this season. He will join the Cardinals during their upcoming series in Miami. |
The last-place Padres could have pulled the 2014 All-Star back from waivers when St. Louis claimed him, or worked out a trade. They opted to let him go to the Cardinals, saving his salary for the remainder of the season. |
The Padres also lost right-hander Jordan Lyles on a waiver claim by Milwaukee. They promoted right-hander Trey Wingenter from Triple-A El Paso. |
Ross broke into the majors in 2010 with Oakland. |
Osuna addresses Astros: Reliever Roberto Osuna met his new Houston teammates and addressed the club for 10 minutes in a closed-door meeting as he comes off a 75-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic-violence policy. |
Former A’s and Cal pitcher Tyson Ross was picked up by the St. Louis Cardinals. |
The defending World Series champions acquired Osuna last Monday in a trade with the Blue Jays while he was still serving his suspension. The reliever was arrested and charged with assaulting his girlfriend May 8 in Toronto. |
Houston manager AJ Hinch said he takes the situation seriously. “I think our club is very aware socially,” Hinch said. |
Osuna replaces starting pitcher Lance McCullers, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with right elbow discomfort, on the roster. McCullers returned to Houston on Sunday to get a more detailed examination from team doctors. |
Angels updates: Manager Mike Scioscia said a report by the Athletic that said he is expected to end his 19-year run in Anaheim in October was “poppycock.” ... All-Star outfielder Mike Trout missed his fourth straight game with a nagging right wrist injury. |
When a 9-year-old American citizen tried to cross the border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials apprehended her, kept her in an isolated room, and grilled her with questions for 30 hours while they tried to see if she was telling the truth or not. She was. |
All the confusion happened because the 9-year-old girl named Julia Isabel Amparo Medina, who holds a United States passport, walked across the border with her sibling and two friends, while their parents waited with their cars at the long traffic line. |
Julia’s mother Thelma Galaxia was with a friend Michelle Cardenas, and they were returning to the United States from Tijuana from where they live so they can attend school at Nicoloff Elementary School. |
Because the line at the border had become so long, Thelma suggested that Julia and her 14-year-old brother Oscar Amparo Medina, and Michelle’s two children, walk across the border and catch an Uber to school so they wouldn’t be late to class. It was 4 am. |
However, as soon as Border Patrol saw Julia, they were alarmed. They detained her and her brother Oscar for more than a day, grilling them with questions about their citizenship. |
Border Patrol even accused 9-year-old Julia of being another person because they didn’t think she resembled the passport photo. |
After the fiasco was made public, CBP sent their public affairs officer Jackie Wasiluk to release a statement to NBC 7 in San Diego. They were frantically trying to clean up the mess. |
“It’s important that CBP officials positively confirm the identity of a child traveling without a parent or legal guardian,” Jackie said. |
That being said, Julia and her brother missed class two days in a row. Their mother was frantic to find them. |
After the nightmare ended, Julia showed NBC her passport which has a picture of her when she was younger – hence the confusion. |
Not only was Julia detained for more than a day, but her brother was also accused of being a smuggler. They also accused him of other crimes that he did not understand. But that didn’t stop them from holding him without adequately explaining their concerns. |
“My daughter told her brother that the officer told her that if she admitted that she was her cousin, she would be released soon so she could see her mom,” Thelma said. |
Julia refused to lie to CBP. |
CBP then forced Oscar to sign a document claiming that Julia was not his sister. The entire situation was confusing and wrong. |
