As The Washington Post pointed out this week, the EPA is signaling that it might regulate carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act despite industry opposition and the fact that "technology for capturing carbon dioxide emissions is expensive and virtually untested." Moreover, the stimulus bill passed this week includes only $3.4 billion for fossil fuel research and development projects, according to Grist, while setting aside "at least $62.2 billion in direct spending on green initiatives and $20 billion in green tax incentives."
Maybe that is indication that we have, in fact, made certain decisions about our priorities. But Obama's remarks about CCS in Canada yesterday are a signal that other questions remain. One only hopes that in the wake of this winter's coal-ash spills, the ridiculous debate about whether or not coal is clean will no longer distract the press from raising them.

Careers for Environmental Toxicologists: Job Options and Requirements
As scientists who examine the effects of chemical products on living organisms and the environment, environmental toxicologists typically possess a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and work in a variety of fields. Toxicologists who further wish to market themselves to potential employers can pursue postdoctoral training in toxicology. Optional certification is available through the American Board of Toxicology and the National Registry of Environmental Professionals.
Job Options for Environmental Toxicologists
Environmental toxicologists research the effects of chemicals on people, animals and ecosystems. They predict possible environmental hazards and assess risks and benefits associated with certain chemical compounds. Toxicologists also study ways to reduce ground, air, water and food chain contamination. The work of environmental toxicologists informs public policymakers about the effects of existing and emerging chemical products.
From pesticides to pollutants, chemical waste is produced in agricultural, industrial and home environments, so environmental toxicologists can choose from a range of fields in which to work. Some toxicologists may explore potential relationships between chemicals used in food production and cancer. Other professionals may examine the natural resistance of living organisms to particular toxins and the implications this has for future medical treatments. Many toxicologists document the life cycles of certain chemicals and their byproducts within an ecosystem.
Environmental toxicologists can choose from consulting, teaching and research careers. According to the Society of Toxicology (SOT), industries, such as pharmaceutical and petroleum companies that produce chemical compounds, were by far the largest employers of toxicologists as of 2008 (www.toxicology.org). Toxicologists may also find employment through the Food and Drug Administration or the Environmental Protection Agency, evaluating health risks for humans and the environment. Research and consulting professionals may work with corporations in developing safer chemical compounds that adhere to federal regulations. Teaching positions may be found in undergraduate and graduate institutions with toxicology, biology or chemistry departments.
Environmental Toxicologist Requirements
Aspiring environmental toxicologists with a 2-year or 4-year degree in toxicology, biology or chemistry can attain positions as lab assistants, fieldworkers and technicians. However, students interested in conducting research, teaching at the postsecondary level or seeking higher-level, more competitive toxicologist positions need to consider a Ph.D. program. Graduate-level studies may take an interdisciplinary approach, but they also offer concentrations in areas like cellular toxicology, environmental chemistry, risk management and public policy.
Environmental toxicologists often work with other scientists and officials, so they should be adept at communicating their results through technical writing and public speaking. Employers also tend to favor applicants who have laboratory experience and strong project management skills. Knowledge of statistical analysis, experimental design and predictive computer modeling may further prepare individuals for careers in environmental toxicology.
Career and Salary Info for Environmental Toxicologists
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that environmental scientists, including those involved in health, were expected to see an increase of 15% in employment through the 2012-2022 decade. In May 2012, the annual salary for environmental scientists in general was $68,970 per year, according to BLS statistics.

I found a link to free software it contains synthesizers,loops some cool sounds if your inclined you can sample the "stuff" and download what you like.
http://www.synthtopia.com/content/categ … ter-music/
You know, this by rights, should be a sticky thread where we can post up all the bargains we find.
Here is a site dedicated to free (as in gratis) VST plugins for your DAW of choice.
Good idea
nice site jerome, just when i was getting fed-up with my keyboard sounds.
i also agree, a sticky with useful sites would be ideal
I found this and installed it,this program is easy and fast it will print out your creation in notation and most important it opens midi files and converts them to notation and plays the score.
This free program is really easy to use it has midi input so you can play on your keyboard and select the notes,duration(whole,half,etc.)as well as rests, accidentals, keys and exports as a midi file to load into the above program to print out the score. way cool
I would be remis if I didn't mention Reaper, the free as you want it to be DAW....
I do believe I can copy and paste my Miroslav Philharmonik instrument banks into the pluggins folder of Reaper and it would act as the host
jerome.oneil wrote:

Yup. Reaper acts as it's own VST host, and does a pretty good job of it. It also supports Apple's AU format, which is nice, as the interface on the AU plugins tend to be pretty good. No shock there.
Some awesome VST plugins for the low low cost of nuthin right here from TAL.
I am not a big fan of digital reverb, but the gentle 'verb coming out of the TAL-Reverb box is as nice as I've found.
Jerome is this reverb equal or better then the reverb effects in Reaper? and after downloading do I click options,preferences and add or scan to include it in Reapers vst plugins?
I think so. I took out ReaVerb last night and replaced it with the TAL-Reverb. The effect is much more subtle, and I don't feel like I lost the direct sound in all the echoes.
I'd still rather have a giant awesome room, but in a pinch...
As far as install goes, Mac installs all audio plugins, regardless of type (VST, AU Component, etc...) in one spot so I just drag the VST directory to there and I'm done. When you install it on Windows, keep note of where the installer puts it on your hard drive, and then do the same exercise we did last night with the VST Preferences by adding that path to the VST directories. I'm assuming you know what *not* to do. ;-)
You might also want to check out Voxengo SPAN. It's a spectrum analyzer but it is a whole lot more useful because it allows you to set up A/B testing between two different setups, and the actual display on the analyzer is a whole lot easier to read. And also, free.
free Is great I will check out these gems thanks for the links
found a new one that is good links to 3 versions of auto tune! now to figure out how to use them with out becoming Tpain LOLOL http://bedroomproducersblog.com/free-vst-plugins/ and this page http://www.best-free-vst.com/plugins/ef … ion-01.php

My friend had intense pain in her back when she had kidney stones. She had also lost the ability to urinate, so she went to the emergency room.
They could tell she was in a lot of pain, because she was crying and even screaming from time to time. It wasn't long before she got in a room, and when the doctor touched her back, she nearly fainted!
She had extreme costovertebral angle tenderness. The stones had to be broken up with a laser, and she had to wear a catheter to pass them. It took a couple of weeks and many painkillers for her to fully recover. She said that her back was sore for awhile.

Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia
W: M. Minor (11-5)
L: T. Chatwood (7-4)
Mike Minor throws 7 scoreless innings; Braves roll to 6th straight win
ATLANTA -- Big innings are helping the Atlanta Braves add to their big lead in the NL East.
Mike Minor allowed only two hits in seven scoreless innings, Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in Atlanta's seven-run third, and the Braves beat the Colorado Rockies 9-0 Wednesday night for their sixth straight win.
The Braves have scored at least six runs in one inning while winning the first three games of the four-game series. Atlanta has scored 29 runs in the three wins.
Freddie Freeman drove in two runs with four hits and Justin Upton had three hits. The Braves continued their offensive surge with 15 hits.
"We're clicking on all cylinders," Freeman said.
Atlanta is threatening to run away with the NL East race. The Braves lead second-place Washington by 11 games in the division, their biggest advantage in nine years.
Braves general manager Frank Wren didn't make a trade-deadline deal on Wednesday after he acquired left-hander Scott Downs for the bullpen on Monday. Wren didn't feel pressure to add another piece to what he said already is the most complete team in his six years as general manager.
"All in all, we're pretty happy," Wren said before the game. "Our club is playing as well as we have in a long time."
Minor (11-5) didn't walk a batter and didn't allow a Colorado baserunner to reach second base.
Tyler Chatwood (7-4) allowed a career-high seven earned runs on 10 hits, one walk and one hit batter in only 2 1/3 innings.
Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez left the game in the fourth inning after aggravating his sprained right middle finger. Manager Walt Weiss said the disabled list was a possibility for Gonzalez.
Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said it was frustrating to lose back-to-back games by a combined margin of 20-3.
"These last two games have just been bad," Tulowitzki said. "We got our butts kicked."
While the Rockies have struggled, the Braves have delivered big innings in three straight games.
"I can't remember a time ever in my career three games in a row they scored, what, six-plus runs?" Tulowitzki asked. "Six in two games, seven tonight? In one inning?
"Putting together hit after hit. ... A little bit of everything. It's a tough series."
Dexter Fowler led off the game with a single up the middle and was thrown out by McCann attempting to steal second. That was the only baserunner Minor allowed until Nolan Arenado's single with two outs in the fifth.
Minor, coming off a strong outing in a win over the Cardinals on Friday night, has given up two or fewer runs in five straight starts. He threw 95 pitches, 70 for strikes.
Minor said the biggest challenge was staying sharp through the Braves' long innings and maintaining his edge with the big lead.
"It's hard to keep the focus as tight when you have a big lead like that," Minor said.
Freeman's single in the first inning drove in Jason Heyward, who reached on second baseman Charlie Culberson's fielding error.
The Braves' first six batters reached base in the third inning. Freeman and Evan Gattis had run-scoring singles before McCann's 15th homer pushed the lead to 6-0. Minor's RBI single knocked Chatwood out of the game.
Freeman singled and scored on Chris Johnson's single off Adam Outman in the fourth.
Gonzalez, playing with a sprained middle finger on his right hand that affects his ability to grip the bat, lost the bat on his follow-through while striking out to end the first. The bat hit catcher McCann's shoulder, and he slumped forward for a few seconds before walking to the dugout.
Gonzalez, who throws left-handed, threw out Dan Uggla at the plate from left field in the second inning as Uggla tried to score from second on Andrelton Simmons' single. TV replays indicated catcher Yorvit Torrealba may have missed Uggla on his swipe tag, and Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez came out for a brief exchange with home-plate umpire Marty Foster.
DJ LeMahieu pinch hit for Gonzalez in the fourth inning.
There was a delay in the seventh after Rockies right-hander Wilton Lopez hit Simmons with a pitch. The ball glanced off Simmons' chest and then squarely hit Foster's left forearm. Foster left the game after he was examined by Braves assistant trainer Jim Lovell. X-rays were negative.
Umpire Marvin Hudson moved from first base to take over at home.
Luis Ayala pitched the final two innings and stranded two baserunners in the ninth.
Game notes
The last time the Braves led the division by 11 games was Oct. 2, 2004. ... Chatwood's ERA climbed from 2.48 to 3.15 with the ugly start. ... Braves GM Frank Wren said he had a few calls "but nothing that had a lot of traction" before the trade deadline. Wren said it was a "strange" trade market and "the asking prices were very high." ... Freeman had his second four-hit game of his career. His first was May 4, 2012, at Colorado. ... Faces in the crowd: Former boxing champion Evander Holyfield, former Braves manager Bobby Cox and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal. ... Rockies RHP Chad Bettis will be called up from Double-A Tulsa to start in his major league debut against the Braves on Thursday night. RHP Julio Teheran will start for Atlanta.

Research Notes
The Braves had a 7-run inning in the 3rd. It's the 3rd straight game in which they've scored at least 6 runs in any inning (Mon: 6 runs in 3rd, Tue: 6 runs in 4th, Wed: 7 runs in 3rd).
FROM ELIAS: The last MLB team with 3+ straight games with a 6+ run inning was the Yankees from May 18-20, 2009 (3 straight). The last time the Braves franchise did it was September 24-25, 1900 when they were known as the Boston Beaneaters (9/25 was a DH). |
The Braves scored at least eight runs in a game for the 18th time this season on Wednesday.
It was the fourth time in six games against the Rockies this season that the Braves have scored at least eight runs. Atlanta has scored eight or more runs 14 times in its 102 games against teams other than the Rockies. |
Freddie Freeman had a season-high four hits Wednesday, which also tied his career high (had 4 hits on May 4, 2012).
Over his last two games, Freeman is 6-for-8 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored. |

Welcome to Best of 7, where we talk about "The best in comics from the last seven days" — which could be anything from an exciting piece of news to a cool publisher's announcement to an awesome comic that came out.
This week is pretty packed, as we have news, reviews, a con recap and a whole year's worth of announcements from one publisher. So buckle your seat belts and hold on tight as we aim our DeLorean at the last seven days …
Al Plastino's Superman artwork on display at Kennedy library
Al Plastino's original artwork for the 1964 story "Superman's Mission For President Kennedy" is at last on display at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, where the late artist thought it had been for the past five decades.
"We are just thrilled that these came home to where they belong," his daughter MaryAnn Plastino Charles, who traveled from Alabama to Boston to see the art, told The Associated Press. "This has been a long time coming. My father thought for so many years that it was here."
A prolific Golden Age artist who passed away Nov. 25 at age 91, Plastino was surprised to discover at New York Comic Con a month earlier that the pages hadn't been given five decades earlier to the library, as he'd been led to believe, but were instead set to be sold at auction by a private owner on the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. Plastino spent the last weeks of his life campaigning for the return of the artwork, leading Heritage Auctions to put the sale on hold until questions about ownership could be resolved; in December, DC Comics purchased the art for donation to the library.
Comics A.M. | Al Plastino's Superman art arrives at JFK library
Comics | Once the paperwork is complete, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library will officially own the original artwork for the 1964 DC Comics story "Superman's Mission For President Kennedy," fulfilling one of artist Al Plastino's final wishes. Plastino, who passed away Nov. 25 at age 91, was surprised to discover at New York Comic Con a month earlier that the pages hadn't been donated to the library five decades earlier, as he'd been led to believe, but were instead set to be sold at auction on the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. The auction was put on hold until questions of ownership could be resolved, and Plastino spent the final weeks of his life campaigning for the return of the artwork, even petitioning a judge to force the auction house to reveal the name of the seller. DC Entertainment intervened in December to acquire the pages and give them to the library. "We are thrilled to receive this historic artwork and look forward to sharing it with the public when the legal transfer is completed," library director Tom Putnam said in a statement. [Newsday]
DC acquires Al Plastino's Superman art to give to Kennedy library
Fulfilling one of Al Plastino's final wishes, DC Entertainment announced it has acquired his original art for the 1964 story "Superman's Mission For President Kennedy" for donation to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.
A prolific Golden Age artist who passed away Nov. 25 at age 91, Plastino was surprised to discover at New York Comic Con a month earlier that the pages hadn't been given five decades earlier to the library, as he'd been led to believe, but were instead set to be sold at auction on the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. The seller had purchased the pages in 1993 at a Sotheby's auction for $5,000.
Plastino, who spent the last weeks of his life campaigning for the return of the artwork — Heritage Auctions put the sale on hold until questions about ownership could be resolved — drew the story in 1963 for DC Comics to promote Kennedy's physical fitness program. The issue was intended to go on sale in late November but was quickly pulled following the assassination, and other material substituted. President Lyndon Johnson's staff later asked DC to publish the original, which was edited to add a commemorate page showing Superman saluting a ghostly image of Kennedy.
In a joint statement, Plastino's wife Annmarie and children MaryAnn, Fred, Janice and Arlene said: "We are extremely grateful to DC Entertainment for ensuring that the original art Al Plastino created for 'Superman's Mission for President Kennedy' will be preserved as part of his artistic legacy and as a tribute to President Kennedy. This art was always very, very special to Al and our whole family and it would have meant a great deal to Al to know that DC Entertainment stepped in to make this possible."
Quote of the Day | DC's Dan DiDio on Al Plastino's legacy
"When you think of Superman in the 1950s, only a handful of artists come to mind – and Al Plastino's one of them. Along with the likes of Wayne Boring and Curt Swan, Plastino brought a level of humanity to Superman that had never been seen before. This amazing, super-human being now had a smile like you or me. He brought out the human side of a modern myth. It was nuanced but game changing. We can't thank him enough for his work at DC, and we're thinking of all those close to him during this difficult time."
– DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio, discussing the work of prolific Superman artist Al Plastino, who passed away at age 91
Veteran Superman artist Al Plastino passes away
Prolific artist Al Plastino, who in recent weeks lobbied for the return of his original art for the 1964 story "Superman's Mission for President Kennedy," has passed away after a battle with prostate cancer, Mark Evanier reports. He was 91.
Born Dec. 15, 1921 in New York City, Plastino began illustrating for Youth Today magazine after he graduated from the High School of Industrial Arts. His first comics credit was on Dynamic Publications' Dynamic Comics #2, cover-dated December 1941.
After serving in the Army during World War II, Plastino returned to freelance work and learned in 1948 that DC Comics was searching for a new Superman artist; according to his website, the publisher paid $55 a page at the time. For the next two decades, Plastino drew Action Comics, Adventure Comics, Superboy, Superman, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane and Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, and with writer Otto Binder created the Legion of Super-Heroes and Supergirl.
Comics A.M. | Al Plastino seeks judge's help with return of art
Legal | Artist Al Plastino has asked a New York judge to order Heritage Auctions to reveal the name of the consignor who put up for sale his original art for the 10-page story "Superman's Mission for President Kennedy." Heritage says the sale has been canceled and the art returned to the consignor, who bought it at a Sotheby's auction a decade ago. The JFK story was originally scheduled to run in a DC comic dated November 1963, but it was quickly pulled when Kennedy was assassinated. The story was published the following year at the request of the Johnson administration. The last panel of the comic stated the artwork was to be donated to the Kennedy Library, and Plastino believed that to be the case until this fall, when he discovered it was being put up for auction.

Crime | Tokyo police say they have security camera footage of a suspicious man in a mask and gloves near a convenience store where a small amount of nicotine was found in a Kuroko's Basketball-themed snack. The snacks were recalled after 7-Eleven and other convenience store chains received threatening letters, part of a barrage of threat letters that have been sent out to venues associated with the Kuroko's Basketball manga and anime. The amount of nicotine found in the Kuroko's Basketball wafers was well under a lethal dose. [Anime News Network]
Comics A.M. | More on JFK comic art that surfaced at auction
Creators | Newsday picks up the story of Al Plastino's original art for the John F. Kennedy comic that was canceled when the president was assassinated, and then published a few months later at the request of the Johnson administration. Plastino, now 91, had been told the artwork would be donated to the Kennedy Library, but last month at New York Comic Con he learned that a private individual had the art and was planning to sell it through Heritage Auctions, which now says it won't move forward until the ownership question is resolved. Copyright lawyer Dale Cendall, former DC Comics President Paul Levitz and artist Neal Adams weigh in on the case. [Newsday]
Kickstarter | In the wake of the successful Fantagraphics Kickstarter campaign, Rob Salkowitz looks at the evolution of the crowdfunding platform from a way for individual creators to connect with their audiences to a pre-sale mechanism that eliminates a lot of the risk for smaller publishers.

Superman artist shocked to find his art at auction
Former Superman artist Al Plastino was startled to learn his original artwork for "Superman's Mission for President Kennedy" is up for auction — and not in the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library, as he had been led to believe.
According to the New York Post, Plastino was at New York Comic Con when he learned another exhibitor had the artwork, and that Heritage Auctions was scheduled to sell it (with a starting bid of $20,000 per page) on Nov. 22, the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination. Plastino, who is 91 and has prostate cancer, posted a plea for help on his Facebook page, and the comics community quickly responded with offers of legal help.
Plastino drew the story "Superman's Mission for President Kennedy" in 1963 to promote Kennedy's physical fitness program, as part of a collaboration between DC and the Kennedy administration. The issue was scheduled to go on sale in late November, but editors quickly pulled it and substituted other material when Kennedy was assassinated. Shortly afterward, President Lyndon Johnson's staff asked DC to go ahead and run the story, which they did, adding a special commemorative page showing Superman saluting a ghostly image of Kennedy.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.

Accountability reporting comes in many forms—a series of revelations in a newspaper or online, a book, a TV magazine segment—but its most common manifestation has been the long-form newspaper or magazine story, the focus of this book. Call it the Great Story. The form was pioneered by the muckrakers' quasi-literary work in the early 20th century, with Tarbell's exposé on the Standard Oil monopoly in McClure's magazine a brilliant example. As we'll see, the Great Story has demonstrated its subversive power countless times and has exposed and clarified complex problems for mass audiences across a nearly limitless range of subjects: graft in American cities, modern slave labor in the US, the human costs of leveraged buyouts, police brutality and corruption, the secret recipients on Wall Street of government bailouts, the crimes and cover-ups of media and political elites, and on and on, year in and year out. The greatest of muckraking editors, Samuel S. McClure, would say to his staff, over and over, almost as a mantra, "The story is the thing!" And he was right.
"Access reporting," the practice of obtaining inside information from powerful people and institutions, is the longstanding rival of accountability reporting. They are American journalism's two main tendencies, and the tension between the two can be said to define the field. The access and accountability schools represent radically different understandings of what journalism is and whom it should serve. The two practices produce entirely different representations of reality, and this difference proved critical in the run-up to the crash. Access reporting emphasizes gaining inside information from the actions or intentions of powerful actors before they are widely known. Its stock-in-trade is the scoop, or exclusive. In business news, the prototypical access story is the mergers-and-acquisitions scoop. Accountability reporting, in contrast, seeks to gather information not from but about powerful actors. The typical accountability story is the long-form exposé.
I usually keep in mind proxies for the two schools: Gretchen Morgenson, the great investigative reporter and editor for The New York Times, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, who runs Dealbook, a thriving unit of the same paper that focuses on inside scoops about business mergers and acquisitions. Morgenson was the first to reveal—in the face of furious opposition from Goldman Sachs, among others—the beneficiaries of the bailout of the American International Group, namely Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street banks. Sorkin's monumental crisis book, Too Big to Fail, lionized Wall Street figures for their (failed) efforts to avert a catastrophe their own institutions had caused. That the two leading representatives of the two journalism poles work for the same newspaper only emphasizes the degree to which journalism must balance both tendencies.
One way to think about the difference is that access reporting tells readers what powerful actors say while accountability reporting tells readers what they do. Access reporting tends to talk to elites; accountability, to dissidents. Access writes about specialized topics for a niche audience. Accountability writes about general topics for a mass audience. The differences are so stark that they can be distilled into a list:
Access tends to transmit orthodox views; accountability tends to transmit heterodox views. In business news, access reporting focuses on investor interests; accountability, on the public interest.
Access and accountability, then, are journalism's Jacob and Esau, Gog and Magog, forever in conflict over resources, status, and influence. But it's hardly a fair fight. Access reporting is journalism's bread and butter. Its stories are quicker to produce and rarely confrontational, making them more compatible with news-productivity needs. Accountability reporting, meanwhile, is forever marginal, a cost center, burdened with stories that are time consuming and enemy making. But of the two strains, only one speaks to, and for, the broader public.
I come to this debate from a 30-year career as a journalist, 10 of those as an investigative reporter, 10 as a business reporter. I've done both access and accountability reporting and understand the necessity of both. The problem for journalism and the public, however, is that accountability reporting is at once the most vital and, at the same time, the most vulnerable. The difference between the two is the difference between probing Citigroup in 2003 and profiling it in 2006. Put simply, accountability reporting got the story that access reporting missed.

MasterCard, Hess, Whole Foods Earnings Preview
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- This week is packed with important economic data and many more earnings reports. In addition, the tapering versus papering debate continues with the FOMC meeting statement on Wednesday.
On Tuesday the Conference Board releases its consumer confidence reading for July and the consensus calls for continued improvement to 84.0. This reading will still be below the neutral zone at 90 to 110, so the real story will be that consumers are less depressed, not more confident.
On Wednesday the advance reading for second quarter GDP is expected to show continued slow growth at 1.3%. The Chicago PMI release should rise to 54.0.
On Thursday Jobless Claims should remain below the recessionary threshold of 350,000, and the national ISM index should rise to 53.0 in July. Construction spending is projected to rise by 1.0%, but as I suggested in my July 24 story Downgrades Point to Weak Construction Spending Ahead many stocks that support construction have been downgraded to sell according to www.ValuEngine.com.
On Friday nonfarm payrolls are expected to rise 200,000 with the unemployment rate down to 7.5%. I will be focusing on the growth of part time jobs versus full time jobs. On July 24 I profiled 13 stocks in Amazon, GM and 3M Earnings Preview. These stocks reported earnings results on Thursday, and here's my scorecard for 12 of the July 25 field of stocks: Amazon.com (AMZN) ($312.01) missed EPS estimates by 6 cents reporting a loss of 2 cents after the close on Thursday. The stock traded as low as $294.72 in afterhours trading. After a lower open on Friday, Amazon shares surged to a new all time high at $313.62. Buy-and-trade investors could capture this volatility buying at my monthly value level at $295.46, and then booking profits between my semiannual risky levels at $313.60 and $324.33. Amazon has been downgraded to sell this morning. Colgate Palmolive (CL) ($60.25) matched EPS estimates earning 70 cents a share, but the stock penetrated and held its 50-day SMA at $58.87 on Thursday then traded up to $60.26 on Friday. This buy rated stock has a weekly pivot at $59.58 and monthly risky level at $82.75.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

text: It is *so* nice to reconnect with my old music, my old friends, old partners. It feels like I've been in this other world; and it's good to know that there are things and people that will pull me back to my own. I'm talking to a high school ex, and something feels at home... 'right.' Not the sickening "let's get together and have babies kind of right." Just the... they knew me with different labels and identities, these people... and yet they still knew just me; it's nice to be in a comfortable context, and yet a different one. It's calming. *love*

I am visiting Ireland and have an O2 pre-paid SIM in my AT&T HTC Tilt 2 Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone. I would like to have Internet access as well. I spoke with an O2 rep yesterday who told me that in order to purchase a block of data service, text NET to 50231 for 700MB for 9.99 for 30 days, then switch phone off/on. I have done this. The rep also said she would text me the data network config, however I never received the config. How do I config my Tilt 2 to use the O2 data network?
Thank you for the reply.
My phone did not automatically set up the data connection when I turned on the phone for the first time. So, I've been searching for the appropriate settings to manually configure the data connection. I found this posting:
Based on the above, I created a connection with the following parameters:
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Domain: <blank>
However, when I start Internet Explorer and attempt to access www.google.com, I get the message "Sorry - HTTP request was interrupted by the host!" and the URL listed in the address bar is http://cpv.trust5.com/ms/o2m/site/xhtml/datastatus
Can you confirm what are the correct settings for the data connection?
The posting above also refers to a link which is supposed to be a utility by which a subscriber can request to have the data connection settings sent to his/her phone, however, I get "java.io.IOException" when I attempt to access the referenced link.
When I spoke with the O2 representative yesterday, she said she would send the data connection settings to my phone via text message, however, I never received them. Is there a way to have the correct data connection settings sent directly to my phone?
Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you, again, for the reply.
I changed the APN to pp.internet, however when I tried to access http://m.o2.ie/ I got the same error message "HTTP request was interrupted by the host!". This time, the URL in the address line was still http://m.o2.ie/.
I noticed that this appears to be an open issue based on:
Is there any update on the ticket (reference: 1264518) mentioned in the above thread?
I was able to confirm that the network connection is working by (1) running the Google Maps application and viewing a location I've never seen before and (2) retrieving my email once (however, I've received several connection failures after successfully retrieving my email).
Thank you.

Earlier this month, we reported on a new variant of Asprox malware which was being spammed out by the Pushdo botnet. At that time, the Asprox executables we analyzed were purely sending spam. However, a few days after our post, we noticed reports of mass infections of IIS/ASP websites. The nature of these attacks reminded us of SQL injection attacks back in 2008 where Asprox was clearly involved. We suspected that the re-emergence of Asprox and these new mass website infections were not merely a coincidence. Well, this week our suspicions were confirmed when we came across another version of Asprox which started to launch both spam and SQL injection attacks.
As of this writing, there are three fast-flux domains that the bot attempts to contact.
These domains resolve to Asprox's control servers, which respond with spam templates, target email addresses, Asprox malware updates, as well as SQL injection attack information and lists of target ASP websites.
When analyzing the new Asprox binary that we pulled from the command and control server, we noticed some interesting clues that show that Asprox is behind the latest SQL injection attacks.
Figure 1: SQL statement in the Asprox malware body used to launch the SQL injection attack. As of this writing this malware had a poor detection rate .
The Asprox bot downloads an encrypted XML file that contains a list of target ASP websites and some other information such as a Google search term to search for more potential targets.
Figure 2: The decrypted XML file which the bot receives. Contains a list of information such as target websites.
When the Asprox bot launches an SQL injection attack, the initial request looks similar to this:
The SQL statement is passed to a target ASP website and executes a series of URL encoded SQL queries, which when decoded, look like this:
Enclosed in the SQL CAST function is another hexadecimal encoded string. Decoding it reveals a <script> tag that reveals malicious JavaScript code hosted on a remote site. The sub-domain part of this URL varies, so administrators should seek to block the domain:
We have seen new domains hosting the malicious JavaScript, although, as yet, the number of infected sites are not as numerous. Again, the sub-domain part varies.
http://manage[dot]webservicekuz[dot]ru/js.js http://stream[dot]webservicesttt[dot]ru/js.js http://media[dot]webservicefull[dot]ru/js.js http://edit[dot]webservicezok[dot]ru/js.js http://redir[dot]webserviceforward[dot]ru/js.js http://shell[dot]webserviceget[dot]ru/js.js http://rid[dot]webservicedevlop[dot]ru/js.js
The SQL attack queries a special table in the SQL server sysobjects and syscolumns in an attempt to get the available "user" tables and fields in the website's database. Walking through the tables and fields, the attack appends the malicious <script> tag to the selected values, in effect poisoning the website's database. Once a web page uses a string from the poisoned database, the malicious <script> tag is injected into that web page. When we performed a Google search of this domain, we saw over 5000 websites infected:
So Asprox is back with a vengeance, and doing its typically Asprox-like things, namely spamming and SQL injection. Anyone have a feeling of déjà vu?
