The Styre or Stire, also known as the Forest Styre, was an old English variety of cider apple which was formerly common in the Forest of Dean. It is currently thought to be extinct, but may still survive in old orchards or gardens.
The Styre originated in the Forest of Dean, where it grew well on the local thin limestone soils: in common with a handful of other old apple varieties, it could be simply propagated without grafting, by striking root from branches pulled from the tree's crown.[1] Although the variety's age is unknown, it was clearly very old, its name having a possible Anglo-Saxon root.[1] The Styre had a reputation for producing a valuable, exceptionally flavoursome and unusually strong cider. John Philips, in his 1708 poem Cyder, refers to it as "Stirom, firmest fruit", and describes it as making a long-lasting, smooth, yet deceptively strong drink.[2]
The pioneer American pomologist and politician William Coxe, Jr. grew a number of specimens of the Styre in his orchard in Burlington, New Jersey, and commented in 1817 that the variety was even then "supposed to have passed the zenith of its perfection, and to be rapidly declining [in Herefordshire]", though his own trees attracted attention for their luxuriant growth.[3] A number of other authors in this period commented that the Styre's productiveness and quality was in decline. It has been retrospectively suggested that this was because the Styre was a triploid apple, and in later years lacked suitable cross-pollinators, meaning that it fruited poorly.[1] Older apple varieties may also suffer from a build-up of viruses in their tissues over time.[4]
By the mid 19th century, the variety was already becoming uncommon, replaced by more modern cultivars. Writing in 1858, H. G. Nicholls commented "Cider obtained from the styre apple used to be a common beverage; but that fruit has long been extinct".[5] By 1898 another writer stated it was "almost extinct", commenting that old writers reported it yielded a "rich, full-flavoured and strong cider", commanding a high price, on the right soils.[6] In fact, the Forest Styre seems to have survived for many years afterwards in some areas, the last known tree of the variety, at Halmore in the Vale of Berkeley, having been cut down in 1968.[7]
Pomologists are currently searching for any surviving specimens of the Forest Styre.[7]
The Styre is, or was, characterised by small fruit with a pale yellow skin and a red blush on the fruit's sunward side; the fruit were borne on a very short stalk.[8] As well as producing good cider, the initially acidic flesh became sweet, honey-like and edible with keeping.[9] The tree itself was very large and had a vigorous upright growth.

Against the favored Indianapolis Colts, Ben Roethlisberger delivered an historic performance at Heinz Field on Sunday becoming the first quarterback to pass for more than 500 yards in a single game twice. Wearing their hideous bumble bee throwback uniforms, the Steelers surged ahead, but the Colts kept on coming on and scoring against the Steeler defense. This led Pittsburgh to continue to be aggressive on offence and Ben was very sharp. He completed 40 of 49 passes for 522 yards (fourth highest all-time) and 6 touchdowns. The yardage and touchdowns were all Steeler franchise records. Pittsburgh prevailed 51-34 and now face their bitter rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, next Sunday night.

Russell Wilson put on a virtuoso performance against the Washington Redskins on Monday night. The Seahawks signal-caller not only passed for 201 yards and 2 touchdowns on 18 of 24 passing, but also rushed for 122 yards on 11 carries, scoring a TD. His long runs frustrated the Redskins, who seemed to have no answer when Wilson took off out of the pocket.
The Seahawks won the game 27-17 with Wilson responsible for all of Seattle's touchdowns. Seattle goes on to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Manning started the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with his usual, almost robotic, efficiency. Throwing super-accurate passes to a variety of receivers, he marched the Denver Broncos down the field to an early 7-0 lead. He continued to move the ball and by the end of the half, he had thrown 3 touchdowns and the Broncos led the Chiefs 21-10.
The Broncos took their foot off the accelerator in the second half but the Chiefs could not take advantage in the 3rd quarter as neither team scored. Kansas City finally mounted a drive in the fourth quarter and closed the gap to 21-17, but the Broncos hit a field goal to go up by 7. At the end of the game, the Broncos held off the Chiefs on the goal line as they attempted to tie the game.
For the game, Manning was 21 of 26 for 246 yards and 3 touchdowns without throwing an interception.

Big Ben put on a great performance against the Cleveland Browns as the Steelers won their opening game of the 2014 season, 30-27. The Steelers dominated the opening half and raced to a 27-3 lead as Ben threw for more yards than he ever had before in single half. The Steeler defense was dominant as well and all was going smoothly in Steelerland as the game went into the break.
The second half was a different matter. The Browns suddenly came alive and scored 24 unanswered points to tie the game as both the Steeler offense and defense displayed a level of ineptness that was hard to believe. The Black and Gold finally managed to stop the Brownies deep in their own zone late in the game and Steelers took over at the Pitt 43 with 47 seconds left. Ben calmly completed a couple of passes to Markus Wheaton to set up Shaun Suisham for a 41-yard field goal as time expired. Pittsburgh escaped with a 30-27 win in a game that they should have won going away. Thursday, the Steelers face their bitter rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, in an important divisional matchup. Hopefully the first-half Steelers will show up.

Using computers that were less powerful than a pocket calculator, let alone as sophisticated as a smartphone, NASA and the brilliant engineers who designed and built the Apollo spacecraft saw their efforts come to fruition 45 years ago tonight. Separating from the command module Columbia, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the surface in the lunar module Eagle and touched down in the Sea of Tranquility.
This has to be considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, technological achievements in human history. Navigating to the tolerances required to rendezvous with the moon and being able to successfully pilot a craft to the surface is only surpassed by the fact that all the Apollo lunar missions returned their crews to Earth safely.
Today is a day to reflect on what was accomplished and to ponder the potential of human ingenuity. As a species, history has shown that we can accomplish virtually anything if we put our minds to it.

Chevon Walker and the Ottawa RedBlacks take on the Toronto Argonauts Friday night at TD Place, the renovated Lansdowne Park stadium. Walker is one of the bright spots in Ottawa's 0-2 start, rushing for 154 yards and scoring 3 TD's for the expansion RedBlacks. QB Henry Burris will need to be sharp against the Argos if Ottawa is to notch its first win of the season.

The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, routing the Denver Broncos 43-8. The best offense in NFL history could not get going against a ferocious Seahawk defense that did not give them any room to breathe. The Seattle secondary actually played against tendencies, letting the Bronco receivers get off the line without chucking them. However, when the Denver players caught the ball on their short routes, the Seahawk defenders hit them like a ton of bricks. There were very few "yards after the catch".
Manning was out of sync from the opening snap, which flew over his head for a quick 2-0 Seattle lead. As usual, Peyton had a tough time once the game got out of control. He is the best front running QB in history, but when things get hairy, he has a tough time making the big plays to get his team back in the game.
The Seahawk offense was hardly spectacular. Russell Wilson made a few 3rd-and-long throws to keep drives alive, but the real spark came from Percy Harvin. Since coming over from the Minnesota Vikings, Harvin had played only 37 snaps due to injury for his new team, but on Super Sunday, Harvin was ready to break out. His two jet sweeps netted 45 yards (which actually made him Seattle's leading rusher for the game) and his 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the third quarter essentially put the game away.

The New Orleans Saints, fresh off their upset win at Philadelphia, travelled to the rainy Pacific Northwest to face the #1 seed Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round and ran into a buzzsaw. The Seahawks opportunistic defense and the running of Marshawn Lynch dominated the Saints as the Seahawks won 23-15 in a game not quite as close as the score would indicate.
Lynch battered the Saints defense for 140 yards on 28 bruising carries, including 2 touchdown runs. The clincher was his 31 yard TD scamper with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter to ice the game.
Lynch and the Seahawks will now face their rival, the San Francisco 49′ers, in the NFC Championship game for the right to go to the Superbowl.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions staged a seesaw battle at Heinz Field with the Steelers eventually prevailing 37-27. The Steelers raced out to a 17-3 lead, then allowed the Lions to move up and down the field to the tune of 27 points in the second quarter. At the half, the Lions led 27-20 and Calvin Johnson already had 6 catches for 179 yards and 2 TD's. However, in the second half, Dick LeBeau's defense made some adjustments and the Steelers held Johnson without a catch and held the Lions without a point.
Behind Big Ben, Pittsburgh scored 17 second half points to take the lead and win going away. For the game, Roethlisberger was 29 of 45 for 367 yards and 4 touchdowns without throwing an interception. He powered the offense as the Steelers only managed 40 yards rushing on the day. Despite the fashion faux pas that are the Steelers' throwback jerseys, they prevailed to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.]]>
The high-flying Oregon Ducks landed with a thud in Palo Alto as they faced off against their PAC-12 rival, the Stanford Cardinal. Just as it did last year, Stanford used tough defense and a grind-it-out offense to ground the Ducks and ruin their chances of a National Championship. For Oregon, it was a heartbreaking loss — the Ducks only had the ball for 17:26 while the Cardinal bled the play clock on every snap playing "keep away" to the tune of 42:34 minutes of possession. Heisman candidate Marcus Mariota was unsettled for the entire game and Stanford took a 26-0 lead, then held on as Oregon made a comeback, but fell short and lost 26-20.
At the nexus of the Cardinal offense was senior tailback Tyler Gaffney, who toted the rock an incredible 45 times for 157 yards and a touchdown. As a team, Stanford had 66 rushing plays for 266 yards. And when the offense got into trouble, QB Kevin Hogan bailed them out with timely completions on third down or quick scrambles to keep drives alive. Oregon could not generate any rhythm or momentum during the brief times they had the ball and now will have to wait another year to try and make it to college football's ultimate contest.

The crowd was older and more subdued than normal — and sparse. Even though the band played in the smaller "bowl" configuration of the arena, it was clearly too large a venue and this seemed to take some of the energy out of the performance. However, the "Eliminator" anthems and a cover of Gibbons' pal Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady" were the highlights of the evening, ending with the raunchy slide guitar on "Tush".

The Dallas Cowboys visited the Detroit Lions and the two teams put on quite a show with the big star being Lions' receiver Calvin Johnson. As the teams went back and forth, Matthew Stafford of the Lions kept looking for and finding his favorite receiver to the tune of 14 catches for a near-record 329 yards. Only Flipper Anderson's 336 yards in a 1989 Rams-Saints game eclipsed what Johnson accomplished on this afternoon. The Lions eventually prevailed as Stafford executed a trick QB sneak with seconds left for a 31-30 win.
Johnson proved to be too much receiver for the Cowboys to handle. He muscled his way past defenders and outraced them after catching the ball, showing his great speed. He scored one touchdown and set up the game winning score with a 22-yard reception. The Lions are a different team when "Megatron" is in the lineup and could contend for the NFC North if Green Bay stumbles.

Starting with the ball, the Underdogs went right to work, with O'Brien hitting Watkiss with a long pass for a TD over a startled Ireland. "I thought he would drop it, it wasn't aimed at his head," said a confused Ireland, "Normally, he only grabs those kinds of passes when it means self-preservation." Nevertheless, for the first time this season, the Stout trailed, 6-0.
Unfazed, McRae led the Stout back with TD toss to Aubin, followed by a PAT conversion to Ireland to take the lead 7-6. The Underdogs were not intimidated, coming right back at the Stout with another TD to Watkiss from O'Brien. Again, the Stout trailed, 12-7 and again, the Stout responded, this time with a TD from McRae to Aubin using their hurry-up "Tiger" package. Another PAT to Ireland made the score 14-12, Stout. "I thought maybe we were in for a long day, so I dialed up the 'Blur' to catch 'em off guard," analyzed McRae after the game, "We haven't unleashed the 'Tiger' in quite a while." "I'll unleash a forearm shiver if he ever does that again," threatened O'Brien, "Maybe HE won't be ready for THAT, either."
Perhaps the Stout thought this might break the spirit of the Underdogs, but the Dawgs once again showed their fortitude as O'Brien drove them down the field, the payoff this time coming with a pass to Niebrzydowski. The Stout now trailed for the third time in the game, 18-14. "What the hell is going on out there?" screamed Coach McRae, "Just grabbing, no tackling!!! Grab, grab, grab!" Reminded that it was a game of touch football, McRae calmed down and returned to the sideline, then to the huddle as he remembered he is also his team's QB.
The Stout scored on an Aubin TD with a Muir PAT to take a 21-18 lead and then, like breaking an opponent's serve in tennis, the game's complexion changed on a terrific defensive play by Ireland, who intercepted O'Brien, giving the ball back to the Stout. An avalanche of points ensued as the Stout outscored the Underdogs 27-0 the rest of the way, including a nifty reverse flea-flicker PAT from Aubin to McRae on the game's last play.
"I think the important thing to take away from this game is that I intercepted McRae for the first time this season," said O'Brien in the strangely jubilant Underdog locker room, "We've come a long way this season and we are going to get those arrogant bastards if it's the last thing I do. I don't care how many 6'5″ behemoths I have to recruit, I will prevail!"
BOX SCORE October 25, 2013 Irish Stout 48, Underdogs 18 Passing ------- McRae 7 TD, 5 PAT, 1 INT O'Brien 3 TD, 1 INT Aubin 1 PAT Watkiss 1 INT Receiving --------- Ireland 3 TD, 2 PAT Aubin 3 TD Watkiss 2 TD Muir 1 TD, 3 PAT Niebrzydowski 1 TD McRae 1 PAT Defense ------- Aubin 1 INT Ireland 1 INT O'Brien 1 INT]]>
The Tigers could not counter as the both the Nole offense and defense performed at an elite level in the 51-14 FSU victory.
At the controls of this scoring machine was freshmen Jameis Winston, who certainly did not shy away from the big spotlight in a primetime, nationally televised game. He played as he has all season, completing 22 of 34 passes for a whopping 444 yards and 3 TD's. His name must be considered for the Heisman and, if the Oregon Ducks or Alabama Crimson Tide slip up, the Seminoles could easily be playing for the BCS Championship in January.

The Green Bay Packers eked out a tough win on the road in Baltimore, edging the Ravens 19-17. Aaron Rodgers was his usual efficient self, throwing for over 300 yards, but it was rookie Eddie Lacy that helped power the Pack to a win with 23 carries for 120 yards. Lacy at times appeared as he had at Alabama, rumbling downfield with defenders seemingly reluctant to take him on. The 5'11″, 230lb Lacy is a load once he gets a head of steam going and is tough to bring down. He brings a dimension to the Packer offense that has not been present for decades — a reliable running back with big-play capability.

The Oregon Ducks continued their assault on college football as they visited the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday. Despite the uplifting presence of Ralphie and a scrappy Colorado team, the Ducks "Blur Offence" was as unstoppable as ever.
The Buffs inexplicably kicked field goals after 3 trips inside the Ducks' 20-yard line. With the power of the Oregon offense, this is a recipe for defeat. In this case, after taking a brief 10-8 lead, the Ducks reeled off 21 unanswered points to finish with a first quarter lead of 29-10. Things did not improve in the second quarter as Colorado was outscored 14-5 and finished the half trailing 43-16.
At the controls of this scoring machine is sophomore QB Marcus Mariota. In his second year of running this offense, Mariota has become even more efficient and, in this game, completed 16 of 27 passes for 355 yards and 5 touchdowns while rushing for 43 yards and 2 more TD's. The Oregon attack is as unstoppable as ever and the main reason is the spectacular play of Mariota. In this game, he worked without perhaps the most exciting player in college football, De'Anthony Thomas, and yet, he took a seat halfway through the 3rd quarter as the Ducks had an insurmountable lead, eventually vanquishing the Buffs, 57-16. He has yet to play a full game this year due to the blowouts.
Marcus looks to be a strong candidate for the Heisman Trophy and the Ducks continue to march toward a showdown with Stanford, and following that, a potential berth in the BCS Championship game.

Another week, another big SEC clash. This time it was the hard charging #6 ranked LSU Tigers between the hedges against the #9 University of Georgia Bulldogs. A taut, exciting, back-and-forth affair, the game wasn't decided until UGA QB Aaron Murray zipped a pass to Justin Scott-Wesley for a TD with 1:47 left in the fourth quarter. The Dawgs won 44-41 largely because Murray kept his cool and completed 20 of 38 throws for 298 yards and 4 TD's with only a single interception. He was dueling with his former teammate, Zach Mettenberger, who transferred to LSU and has matured into a terrific passer. But on this day, Georgia was able to prevail, setting up an intriguing race in the SEC as the conference continues to look up at the undefeated #1 Alabama Crimson Tide.

Occupy Wall Street Topics
Inspired by the massive public protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square and Madrid's Puerta del Sol Square, hundreds occupied Zuccotti Park near Wall Street from Sept. 17 to Nov. 15, 2011, as part of a campaign dubbed "Occupy Wall Street."

I watched your videos on my cinemizers and it gives a very good depth effect, I was very impressed. Even feels like the branches are hitting you. Isn't that putting dirt all over your quad btw? Cause I experienced a lot of grass mowing today with mine, and it's not white any more, it's now green-ish haha
|May 15, 2012, 02:28 PM
ha yes my quad gets more organic every flight I go through vegetation :-)
Good news on the GoPros. I analyzed a bit more about what was going on and there were a few things I was doing wrong...
1. The official GoPro 3D case expects one camera to be upside down. When you plug in the 3D cable it automatically sets this camera to upside down mode to record a correct image (right side up). My cameras are not in the case as I wanted wider separation for more 3D depth. I also placed them both right side up. As the cable automatically flips one image and it is multiple menu clicks to switch it back I decided to just record like that and flip it in post - bad idea.
The result was that the rolling shutter is going in opposite directions after flipping in post. So as the quad turns and banks all kinds of weird depth distortions and alignment issues were appearing.
2. I also noticed a bad time offset in one video as a car drove down the road. When you pause on a frame like that the car either appears to float off the road or sinks into the road. This is an indication that the videos are not correctly synchronized. I found the clip worked much better when I delayed one of the videos by a frame. I need to look into this further as I am still not convinced the sync is 100%. But much better now.
3. Wide Angle correction. I am not a fan of the 170 degree field of view of the Hero2. It is especially ugly with flying machines that capture the horizon bending up and down. I have opted to shoot with the reduced 127 degree 'medium' FOV option. This reduces the resolution slightly but give less barrel distortion. I am correcting this further in post by taking the movies into After effects and using the optical compensation filter with an inverted 65 degree setting. This makes the image look almost square but still pleasantly wide angle. Again this post processing will loose some detail but to me it is well worth it.
As long as I make sure both cameras have the correct recording orientation (both rolling shutters moving in the same direction relative to the scene) and I manually check left eye right eye synchronization and I undo a lot of the lens warp I am getting fantastic results.
I will put up a demo video as soon as I get some time.

I've done a lot of 3d photography, and there's a rule that 3d flyers should consider: the distance between the cameras should be approximately 1/30th the distance to the subject for a strong 3D effect.
With an airplane the subject is typically very far away so you might consider mounting the cameras at the tip of each wing to enhance the 3D.
|May 19, 2012, 01:51 AM
I have the GoPros out to 3" (75mm) for my quad. I plan to fly mostly close to objects. I set the stereo window at around 5 ft. I will get some video up this weekend. It is looking great now.
|May 19, 2012, 02:02 AM
The GP2 has an 11MP sensor. It only requires 2MP to capture a 1080p video frame.
In the wider mode, it exposes more of the sensor area, but then it just uses pixel binning
to combine adjacent pixels together. You get a little less sensor noise, but no greater
resolving power. Even at 1080p medium wide it's still pixel binning. At 1080p narrow
(about 90 degrees FoV) it's close to 1 sensor bucket per output pixel and you see it as
increased sensor noise. 1080p medium wide at 30fps is generally going to give the
best clarity and low noise, with acceptable barrel distortion.
Looking forward to some 3D GP vids.
|May 21, 2012, 02:12 AM
Oh good to know. I was looking for this info but could not find it thanks. I did test shooting full wide and cropping in myself and could see the on camera version was much better. Now I understand it is noise I am seeing more than resolution loss.

Cross Eye Viewing
I noticed that all these posted videos won't work with unaided (no glasses), cross-eye viewing because the right image is on the right and the left image is on the left instead of crossed. Thus, when viewed with the cross-eye method the 3-d effect is in reverse. Is there any way you can reverse or cross the left to the right and the right to the left so we cross-eye viewers can see them correctly? Using your eyes without stupid glasses, and the cost of such, is so much preferable if you are adept at the cross-eye method. Unfortunately all these wonderful stereo videos, as posted, require glasses to be viewed.

Cross-Eye Viewing Method
Here is an example of both cross-eye stereo pairs and a large amount of parallax. I took these images during a recent airline flight from 30,000 ft with about 2,000 ft of parallax (2 second separation at ~ 750 MPH). You have to use the cross-eye method to view these so forget your Cinemizers! I think mounting cameras (how about fiber cord based lenses for remote mounting where image CCD circuitry stays in the fuselage?) near the tips of each wing would provide much more depth, even for long distances, as you can see in these images!
|May 24, 2012, 01:51 AM
Glad you like them....phil

Nice hyper stereo pics. It might be difficult landing with that much separation between cameras :-)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

June 20 (Bloomberg) -- Oil fell to the lowest in four months in New York, heading for a bear market, on speculation a weakening global economy and Greece's debt crisis will lead to reduced fuel demand.
Futures slid as much as 2 percent today, erasing gains made this year, as European governments failed to agree on releasing a loan payout to spare Greece from default and Japan's exports dropped in May more than forecast. Crude traded for a second day below its 200-day moving average, a major technical-support level, and is close to a 20 percent decline from its 2011 settlement high in April, the sign of a bear market.
"The major influence continues to be the European situation," said Ben Westmore, a minerals and energy economist at National Australia Bank Ltd. in Melbourne, who predicted oil will average $113 a barrel in the third quarter. "If you look at what happened to the oil price during the financial crisis you can see that these events have a big impact. There is this tone of a global slowing in the economy."
Crude for July delivery fell as much as $1.87 to $91.14 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That's the lowest intraday price since Feb. 22 and is below $91.38, the final settlement price of 2010. It was at $91.40 at 3.22 p.m. Singapore time.
Futures are trading 19.8 percent below the 2011 settlement high of $113.93 on April 29. A 20 percent decline is typically considered to be an indicator of a bear market. The July contract expires tomorrow. August futures are down $1.60, or 1.7 percent, at $91.80.
Bollinger Band
Brent oil for August delivery on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange fell as much as $1.56, or 1.4 percent, to $111.65 a barrel. Prices are up 18 percent this year.
Oil in New York is trading below its 200-day moving average, currently at $92.30 a barrel, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Prices are also below the lower Bollinger Band at $93.58, a technical indicator that may signal the market has fallen too far.
Euro-area finance ministers pushed Greece to pass laws to cut its deficit and sell state assets. They left open whether the country will get the full 12 billion euros ($17.1 billion) promised for July as part of a bailout package agreed last year, according to Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, after chairing a crisis meeting in his country. Decisions on the next payout and a three-year follow-up package were put off until early next month.
Growth Forecast
Japan's exports decreased 10.3 percent from a year earlier after April's 12.4 percent drop, the Finance Ministry said today. The median estimate of 25 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for an 8.4 percent decline.
The International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for U.S. growth in 2011, warning of setbacks to the economic recovery with potential contagion from Europe's debt crisis.
The U.S. will expand 2.5 percent this year and 2.7 percent in 2012, down from the 2.8 percent and 2.9 percent projected in April, the Washington-based fund said June 17. It sees the world economy expanding 4.3 percent this year, from 4.4 percent in April.
Hedge funds and other speculators boosted wagers on crude rising in the seven days ended June 14, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said in its weekly Commitment of Traders report. Net-long bets climbed by 3,398 futures and options combined, or 1.8 percent, to 194,372. That was the first increase in three weeks.
Crude may decrease this week on signals economic growth in the U.S. and China will slow, curbing fuel use in the world's biggest oil-consuming countries, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Eighteen of 38 analysts and traders, or 47 percent, forecast prices will decline through June 24.
Thirteen respondents, or 34 percent, predicted oil will increase and seven estimated there will be little change. Last week, 54 percent of respondents said futures would drop.
