Oil up as Statoil plans production halt due to Norway strike

Oil hit a one-month high on Thursday as Statoil ASA (NYSE: STO) said it would begin shutting down production due to a labor conflict, The Associated Press reports.

Oil hit a one-month high on Thursday as Statoil ASA?

Norway-based Statoil is preparing to shut down production on the Norwegian continental shelf after an employers? group, the Norwegian Oil Industry Association, said it would lock out workers next week after efforts to end a strike failed, the AP reports. So far, the strike has affected 13 percent of Norway?s total oil production, experts estimate, and the lockout will affect the nation?s entire offshore production. The Norwegian government could force the workers to end the strike, the AP reports.

The AP reports that benchmark oil for August delivery reached $88.12 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange Thursday, while crude closed at $87.66 on July 3, the last day the August contract settled in New York. Brent crude for August delivery reached $101.45 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange Thursday.

Interest rate cuts announced by Chinese central bank and the European Central Bank, the Bank of England?s new economic stimulus measures and a European ban on buying Iranian crude are also affecting oil prices, the AP reports.

6 Things to Watch on President Obama's Bus Tour

As President Obama hits the road for his first campaign bus tour of the 2012 election season, here are five things to watch that could make this a noteworthy two-day, two-state trip :

1. MESSAGE: OBAMA, A BETTING MAN

Claiming anyone running for president, much less Mitt Romney, is "betting against America" might seem far-fetched. After all, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden often remind voters that Romney is a "patriotic" family man whose well intentions are not in doubt.

But that's exactly the case Obama appears poised to make about Romney at stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to two campaign surrogates, former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Pennsylvania state Democratic Party chairman Jim Burn.

"President Obama is betting on America, not against it," said Strickland on a conference call with reporters ahead of Obama's trip.

"I point once again to the auto industry and its importance in Ohio. Not only was Mitt Romney against assistance to the auto industry, so was Sen. Rob Portman and so was current [Republican] Gov. John Kasich," he said, noting the state's below-average and declining unemployment rate.

Romney "bet against American workers," added Burn. "President Obama knows that when you bet on American workers, it's a bet that always pays off."

The polarized pitch is an effort to shore up support among the president's blue collar base and convince swing voters that the Republican doesn't have their interests at heart.

2. ITINERARY: OFFENSE OR DEFENSE?

President Obama's itinerary across northern Ohio into western Pennsylvania covers friendly turf that he won comfortably in 2008, as ABC News' Chris Good noted. There will be no forays into "red," Republican-leaning counties to directly confront potentially persuadable voters.

Even so, Obama campaign officials reject the notion that this is a purely defensive trip, noting that many of the media markets associated with stops along the way also cover counties that voted for John McCain.

Given the mid-summer doldrums in the news cycle, Obama's appearances will grab headlines across local TV stations and newspapers, boosting his statewide exposure while spreading his anti-Romney message.

Democratic strategists have already credited their local media campaign of the past few months with bolstering the president's poll numbers in swing state match-ups with Romney.

3. C OMPANIONS: THE LONELY ROAD

While Romney included his wife and sons on a bus tour last month, Obama will be trucking solo today and Friday with only the company of aides and the U.S. Secret Service.

First lady Michelle Obama and the Obama daughters, Malia and Sasha, significant assets to the president's campaign, likely won't be deployed on the trail as an entire family until later this summer, although they already have appeared together in TV and Web advertising.

For now, Michelle Obama will continue an aggressive but largely independent schedule of campaigning. She's headlined 36 solo fundraisers this year and attended close to a dozen events with grassroots supporters. On Tuesday, she'll be back on the trail in Orlando, Fla., and Miami, a campaign official said.

The first couple last campaigned together in New York City on June 15, when they attended a splashy fundraiser at the Manhattan home of actress Sarah Jessica Parker and a gala at The Plaza Hotel.

"This is what qualifies as date night in the Obama household," Obama told the crowd of donors of his rare public appearance with his wife.

4. MENU: ICE CREAM - "Yes, PeCAN"?

Nothing says campaign season like an ice cream social with a political candidate. Obama will host his first of the year in Sandusky, Ohio, this afternoon at Washington Park, just across the bay from the iconic Cedar Point amusement park.

No word on what flavor(s) will be served, but if organizers really wanted to keep POTUS happy in the heat, they might include a pint of his favorite flavor: pecan. (Remember Ben & Jerry's honorary "Yes, PeCAN" flavor concocted in honor of the 2009 inauguration?)

As for the optics of ice cream on the trail, ABC News Political Director Amy Walter noted, "What a president eats says something about how he sees the future prospects for the country. Ice cream cone = sunshine and happy days."

5. ROMNEY REBUTTAL: PAWLENTY, JINDAL BUS TOUR

Republican former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal - both possible vice presidential picks - will be shadowing Obama as he treks across the Buckeye State today. You won't be able to miss them: Theirs is the bus traversing the interstates between Toledo, Ohio, Cleveland and Pittsburgh emblazoned with "Romney for America."

Their message will be that Obama suffers from a "promise gap" - a wide divide between what he told voters in 2008 and the reality of 2012.

"He made a promise on nearly every critical issue of the day - employment, energy, health care, housing and the deficit - that our lives would be better off today if his policies were enacted," wrote Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., in a memo ahead of Obama's visit.

"By his own standards, he has fallen far short on each and every issue," they wrote. "And by his own admission, such shortcomings are cause for Americans to make his presidency a 'one-term proposition.'"

6. WILD CARD: JUNE JOBS REPORT

When Obama wakes up in Akron, Ohio, on Friday morning - the mid-point of his bus tour - he may be in for a message-eclipsing (or message-boosting) jolt. The Labor Department will release the June employment report at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The news last month that the U.S. economy created only 69,000 jobs rocked the presidential race and put the Obama campaign on the defensive. Another weak report could further complicate the president's bid for a second term.

The trend lines don't look good: The economy added 275,000 jobs in January and 259,000 in February, but the pace slowed to 143,000 in March, down to 77,000 in April and 69,000 in May. Economists expect between 80,000 and 100,000 new jobs in June with unemployment steady at 8.2 percent.

A report that meets or exceeds those expectations would help the president argue that his economic plans are yielding progress and continuing a positive job growth trend over the past two years.

July 4th BBQ: How Much It Will Cost You

If you are among the millions of Americans planning to host a 4th of July cookout, you should expect to spend quite a bit of money.

We calculated just how much money someone in New York City could expect to spend on a BBQ by walking through a Food Emporium in midtown Manhattan. (Editor's Note: Prices in Manhattan don't necessarily reflect prices across the country!) By our estimates, the final tab for a July 4th BBQ feeding 5-10 people could exceed $300 for first timers, as the price of a gas grill alone starts around $170.

RELATED: July 4th Freebies

Of course, costs do vary based on local sales taxes, gas prices, stores the products are sold in and brand name. However, the following list of cookout essentials should provide a rough outline of how much a July 4th BBQ costs.

Man lives off Craigslist ads for a month, turns his adventures into a documentary

In a major change of pace from his work in The Hangover, actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis is working as the executive producer for a new documentary called Craigslist Joe. The movie is about Joe Garner, who traveled across America living off Craigslist ads.

Over 31 days, Garner sought transportation, food, and shelter through ads on the online classifieds network. All he took with him on the journey was a laptop, cell phone, toothbrush, and the clothes he wore. Get a first look at the movie with the trailer above. The movie is slated to hit theaters and iTunes on August 2.

Craigslist has been at the center of many weird and wacky stories. Strange things wind up for sale on the network, from a 1/3-size scale model of a Star Wars TIE Fighter to a human skull. Although you can search directly for something you need, browsing the Best of Craigslist can also just yield some laughs.

Twitter sees new record during Euro 2012 final

Associated Press Sports

updated 11:13 a.m. ET July 2, 2012

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -Twitter says its users fired off more than 15,000 tweets per second when Spain scored its fourth goal in Sunday's European Championship final, setting a sports-related record on the social networking site.

The surge in tweets came just weeks before the Olympic Games in London are expected to spur more record-setting activity on social networking sites - from tweets to postings of photos and other user-generated material.

Twitter said it registered a total of 16.5 million tweets worldwide during the soccer match Sunday in Kiev, where Spain defeated Italy 4-0. It said total global traffic on its platform peaked at 15,358 tweets per second as Spain scored its fourth goal, a record for a sporting event.

"Commentators, fans and athletes around the world supported their teams in song, in face paint and in tweets" throughout the Euro 2012, Twitter said in a blog.

As fans increasingly use social media to connect during major sports competitions, new "tweet per second" records are constantly being set.

Twitter registered a peak of 12,233 tweets per second during the final three minutes of the Super Bowl in February.

An earlier record was set during the final match of the 2011 Women's World Cup, a match in Germany that saw 7,196 tweets per second, including 13 from President Barack Obama. In that game, Japan's team defeated the U.S. on penalty kicks following a 2-2 draw.

Among those who tweeted Sunday was Pele, the retired Brazilian star. He congratulated Spain and said he was looking forward to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
