Photo by Gary W. Green-Pool/Getty Images (SANFORD, Fla.) -- Police in South Florida are bracing for the verdict in the racially charged George Zimmerman murder trial, creating places for people to peacefully protest, monitoring social media and urging people to remain calm. "It's a trying time for all of us. We're not sure what the verdict is going to bring but it's a great opportunity for evolution of the Sanford community," Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith said at a news conference Friday as the jury began its deliberations. Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012. Zimmerman, 29, maintains he shot Martin, 17, in self-defense, while the state argued that Zimmerman "profiled" Martin and concluded he was a criminal. The case took on racial overtones after police declined to charge Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic. Martin was black. Zimmerman was charged with murder nearly two months later by a special prosecutor appointed by the state. Because of the tension over the case, the judge initially said she will delay the announcement of the jury's eventual verdict by two hours to give police ample time to prepare for security. It's not clear if that is still the plan. Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for Martin's family, told ABC News Friday that he did not expect violence. "I certainly don't think Trayvon Martin supporters are going to be emotionally overcharged to act out in a way that's not responsible becau ...

Oil price climbs after strong US jobs report

The price of oil marched higher Friday after a positive report on U.S. hiring and ongoing concerns that the crisis in Egypt might affect Mideast supplies.

In midday trading, benchmark crude for August delivery was up $1.56 to $102.80 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Wednesday, oil closed above at $101.24, the highest level since May 3, 2012. U.S. markets were closed Thursday for Independence Day.

Following the ouster of Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi, his supporters began a series of protests and attacks Friday. The military opened fire as hundreds of protesters marched on a headquarters of the Republican Guard

Egypt is not an oil-producer, but its control of the Suez Canal, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, gives it a crucial role in maintaining global energy supplies.

For now supplies are moving freely through the canal.

In the U.S., employers added a robust 195,000 jobs in June and many more in April and May than previously thought. The job growth suggests a stronger economy and makes it more likely the Federal Reserve will slow its bond purchases before year's end.

Those bond purchases have supported the economy by helping keep long-term interest rates low. That in turn has given a boost to investments such as stocks and oil.

At the pump, the national average for a gallon of gas stayed at $3.48 for the third straight day. That's down 14 cents from a month ago.

Brent crude, which is used to set prices for crude oils used by many U.S. refineries, was up $1.75 to $107.29 per barrel on the ICE exchange in London.

In other energy futures trading on Nymex:

- Wholesale gasoline rose 4 cents to $2.88 per gallon.

- Natural gas fell 11 cents to $3.58 per 1,000 cubic feet.

- Heating oil added 4 cents to $2.99 a gallon.

Pablo Gorondi in Budapest contributed to this report.

Pedroia, Ortiz carry Red Sox past Padres 8-2

(AP) ? Dustin Pedroia has been in the heart of Boston's batting order during its strong start. His play was on the mind of San Diego manager Bud Black before the game.

Pedroia hit a two-run double to jump-start Boston's 18-hit effort, David Ortiz had a two-run single and the Red Sox wrapped up a big homestand by beating San Diego 8-2 Thursday, sending the Padres to their season-high sixth straight loss.

"He's been in the middle of this offense from Day One and continues to be so," Red Sox manager John Farrell said of Pedroia, who raised his average to .325 by going 2 for 4.

Brandon Snyder and Jacoby Ellsbury each had solo homers for the Red Sox. Boston went 8-1 at Fenway Park to match its best homestand since June 2010.

The Red Sox also won for the 12th time in its last 14 games at home. The AL East leaders improved to 19 games over .500 (53-34).

Sitting in his uncomfortably warm office about two hours before the game, Black praised the play of Pedroia. It didn't take long for the Red Sox second baseman to make him look good.

"Pedroia might be the MVP of the league so far. I think you can make a case for it," he said.

Pedroia's two-run double in the first moved Boston ahead 2-0. Ellsbury singled leading off to extend his season-high hitting streak to 14 games and Shane Victorino doubled off the Green Monster before Pedroia doubled into the left-field corner.

"What we're seeing of late is he's starting to pull the ball," Farrell said. "It's a byproduct of getting pitched in a little more because he's gotten so many hits the other way. We know that when either an offspeed pitch stays in the middle of the plate or a fastball's in the inner part of the plate, he's always been a dead-pull hitter in those locations of pitches."

The 2008 AL MVP just feels like he's taking a simple approach each time he steps to the plate.

"I feel good," he said. "It depends if the ball's in. I'm trying to hit the ball where it's pitched. If I'm pulling the ball, it means they're throwing it in a little more. That's it."

The Padres have scored just seven runs in their losing streak. They also lost for the 10th time in 12 games.

"They know what's ahead of them. They know what the challenge is," Black said after the game. "This is the part of the season, part of the summer where it's hot, it's hot for everybody. You've got to keep pushing through. We were swept in this series. We've swept some teams to get back in the race in the west, but our guys know what's in front of them."

Allen Webster (1-2) pitched six innings for his first major league win, allowing two runs and five hits, while walking four and striking out two.

Chase Headley didn't feel like the slump has been that bad despite the team scoring two or fewer nine of the last 12 games.

"I think it's looked worse than it has been," he said. "We've had some at-bats in situations where we had a chance to drive in runs and the guys hit the ball hard and it just hasn't gone in the hole for us. Obviously it's disappointing when you put one, two runs up on the board for an extended period of time. I think as a group, I don't think it's maybe as far off as it looks."

The Red Sox open a three-city, 10-game West Coast trip Friday night in Anaheim against the Angels.

Eric Stults (6-7) gave up four runs and nine hits over 4 1-3 innings without walking or striking out a batter. He was tagged for seven runs ? six earned ? in 3 2-3 innings in his previous start Saturday in a loss at Miami after giving up two runs or less in his previous six.

In the second, Snyder homered into Boston's bullpen to make it 3-0. Ortiz's bases-loaded, two-run single off reliever Tyson Ross in the sixth gave the Red Sox a comfortable 7-2 lead.

Ellsbury homered over the bullpens to make it 8-2.

Headley's sacrifice fly had cut it to 3-1 in the third before Jose Iglesias' run-scoring, ground-rule double pushed Boston's lead back to three an inning later.

The Padres sliced it to 4-2 in the fifth on Jesus Guzman's single high off the left-field wall ? when he missed a homer by a couple of feet ? but Webster got Mark Kotsay to line to left, ending the inning with two runners on.

Jonny Gomes' RBI single made it 5-2.

NOTES: Black said he expects SS Everth Cabrera, on the 15-day DL since June 19 with an injured left hamstring, to be activated when the club opens a three-game series against the Nationals on Friday night. ... Boston 1B Mike Napoli was back in the lineup after getting Wednesday night off. With a left-hander starting for San Diego, Gomes was also inserted into the lineup one day after hitting a game-ending homer in the ninth inning. ... Black also discussed options for his team's struggling offense. "You have to try and do everything you can to get things going," he said, saying they'd run and bunt with the right people. "When you're not scoring things look a little flat. As people in the game know, that happens everywhere. When you score, sometimes you score in bunches and you lose and the pitching wasn't solid, but you're playing hard. We're playing hard, but we're just not scoring runs." ... Farrell said he hopes SS Stephen Drew, sidelined since last Friday after aggravating his right hamstring, will be back in the lineup Saturday. ... The gametime temperature was 91.

Gross, Here Are 5 Toxic Chemicals in Your Food

You know what I hate about eating? The constant conversation on whether this food is good for you or bad for you. It seems to change everyday! New reports say this will cause cancer. Other reports say the same thing can prevent it. Even awful food that contains arsenic and other toxic chemicals can be somehow reasoned to be not as bad for you. This video by BuzzFeed shows you what's toxic inside the food you eat (birthday cake! chicken!) but how it isn't all that bad for you either. Let's just either eat what's delicious or not eat at all!
