And Yahoo info (how about that "concern that the unrest may delay the return of Iraq's oil exports" yeah..right..this is old news to all of us):

"2:00PM: Mostly sideways in the last half hour, which is not the worst-case scenario since all of the major averages are above the watermark... The vast majority of the sectors are little changed... However among today's most notable laggards is the oil services sector... Its weakness coincides with a slight $0.07 uptick in the price of crude oil to $31.57, a level near its 52-week high... The price of crude oil rose today after a car bomb explosion in the Iraqi city of Najaf, stirred some concern that the unrest may delay the return of Iraq's oil exports..."
