Stocks Advance as Oil Drops: what did demolibs talk about hoover depression in 2004 ??? By REUTERS Published: August 15, 2005 Filed at 6:00 p.m. ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Monday, with investors finding reasons to buy equities as oil prices receded from a record high above $67 and data showed the U.S. economy appears to be on solid footing. Skip to next paragraph Shares of Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL.O) and Time Warner Inc. (TWX.N) helped drive the broad Standard & Poor's 500 index (.SPX) higher. Light, sweet crude for September delivery fell 59 cents to settle at $66.27 a barrel on NYMEX. The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) gained 34.07 points, or 0.32 percent, to end at 10,634.38. The S&P 500 gained 3.48 points, or 0.28 percent, to finish at 1,233.87. The technology-laced Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) rose 10.14 points, or 0.47 percent, to close at 2,167.04. ``It's a relief reaction,'' said Jim Awad, chairman of Awad Asset Management, in New York. ``You had a modest reflex reaction to the fact that oil was down.'' The easing in oil prices came after a week in which NYMEX crude futures hit new highs each day, culminating with a record high at $67.10 on Friday. High oil prices are typically a negative for stocks since they drive up many corporate costs and eat into consumers' discretionary spending. Analysts said they expect stock investors to keep a close eye on oil prices for the rest of the week. ``We're going to be very sensitive to oil, without a doubt,'' said Scott Wren, senior equity strategist at A.G. Edwards & Sons, of St. Louis. Oil has been the biggest negative variable investors have been facing, he noted. ``There's been a lot of good economic news, inflation is low,'' Wren said. ``The market wants to go up.''

Ex - Gov. Chiles' Son Arrested on DUI Charge By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 6:12 p.m. ET TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- A son of the late Gov. Lawton Chiles was arrested on charges of drunken driving, authorities said. Ed Chiles, 50, was stopped early Sunday in Tampa after a police officer noticed him driving between two lanes, according to jail records. Police said his blood-alcohol content was reported as 0.15 and 0.16 percent, about twice the legal limit for driving. Chiles was released from jail on $500 bail. Phone calls to his home and office Monday were not immediately returned. Chiles, who lives on Anna Maria Island, owns several restaurants and is director of Solutions to End Red Tide, Inc. His father served as governor of Florida from 1990 to 1998. He died in December 1998, three weeks before he was to leave office. Ed Chiles' brother, Lawton ''Bud'' Chiles, opened a campaign for governor in January, but dropped out after learning he had not lived in the state long enough.
