Hot Toddy is the solo moniker of Chris Todd. You may better know him for his work as a member of Crazy P (Crazy Penis). Chris has been writing music as Hot Toddy for as long as Crazy P(enis) has been around.
His new single on Eskimo Records features friend, Ron Basejam. "I Need Love" is a hypnotizing 100 bpm track, slowly working its magic on you with vocals, keys, and synths all perfectly spaced. There is also a remix from one of my all time favorites, Morgan Geist.
Hot Toddy is putting together the final touches to his artist album for a 2010 release on Om.

In a glum 21st Century epoch of economic crisis, political unrest and nuclear menace, it is perhaps unsurprising that the style of music most feted for its pure, unadulterated sense of fun has crept its way, with a side-step shuffle and a double handclap, back onto dance-floors across the globe.
As melody replaces minimal as the buzz du jour, it is the dancing that once again takes centre stage leaving the uber-koolische backs slumped forlorn against the wall.
We are, of course, talking about D.I.S.C.O..
While some might argue that disco has never truly been away –hip-hop and house producers in particular have long plundered its resources to furnish their sample-laden oeuvre– surely the glitter-ball hasn't shone as brightly over a scene since its infamous 'demolition' in 1979 as it has over the last two years.
Despite often being saddled with the annoyingly constricted 'nu' prefix, contemporary disco is a deceptively broad school encompassing a variety of quirky sub-genres. Whether your proverbial flavour is breezy balearica, irreverent italo or butt-shaking boogie, you can find it all down at the (nu) Discotheque.
In celebration of this musical renaissance we have profiled and interviewed some of disco's brightest new stars. Clap-clap.

After becoming one of the most downloaded tracks ever on RCRDLBL.com, Colette drops the full single for "Think You Want It". The first lady of Om (how many times has this phrased been used? ), enlists Pezzner, Sexual Chocolate, and Hanssen for remix duty.
Pezzner, busy working on his album for Freerange Records, gives us one of the stand out remixes on the single. Moody, deep, spacey, and heavily layered with cut-up vocals, claps, bass, and everything else we have come to love about Pezzner.
Sexual Chocolate delivers a Chicago fidget inspired version of the track that i'm sure you will hear in Colette's DJ sets. Perhaps the most surprising remix is from Hanssen, who takes the track and Colette in a completely new direction!

Atjazz and long time vocalist Clyde, drop their new single "Please You". The single is a laid back subtle dance floor track that really simmers and gets your feet moving, one foot at a time. It's crazy how closely Clyde's voice resembles Pharrel Williams of NERD. In fact, the track sounds like a spacey deep house version of a track that NERD would have made. Atjazz does what he does best, producing a simple but lush deep house dance track, while also producing a memorable "song".
The single features a remix by Garcy Noise, and Om's very own Rob G.
Drop this joint and watch the girls do the dance floor shuffle.

It's been a month full of surprises (Read "GA Join Om")! Ready for another one? We have a new single from Radio Slave!!!!!
No matter what sounds you profess to be your dance music of choice, chances are that at some point over the last five years, you will have gotten your rocks off to Matt Edwards AKA Radio Slave. In that time Matt has remixed countless tunes for an incredibly-wide selection of notable labels. To boot, his touring schedule must be almost painful. So it was with great pleasure that Om was able to enlist his talents to compose a tune especially for our 15 Year Anniversary compilation.
To cut straight to the chase, "Orchestrating Maneuvers In The Dark" is a rhythmic deep tribal techno groove – obscure, dissident and crunchy – with a breakdown that dissolves into thin air – only to strangely and magnificently re-materialize into his funk-induced groove.
The single comes compete with an amazing reinterpretation from Mike Monday (Om, Great Stuff, Simple), a super-deep mix from Seth Troxler (Ghostly International) + Ryan Crosson (Wolf + Lamb, Spectral, Crosstown Rebels, Trapez) and a clubbed up version from Om's own Al Velilla. The digital package includes a mix from Frankfurt up-and-comer M.in, who teamed up with the legendary Patrick Lindsey to create a bumpin funky tech rework.
"Sounds great def something I would play!" – Pete Tong
"Super" – Tiefschwarz
"Great track! would love to play this out!" – Laurent Garnier
"Great remix!" – Luke Solomon
"Wow! what a suprise from om records and it's good too! will support." – Stacey Pullen
"Right up my alley, obscure, dissident and crunchy..nice one!" – Osunlade
"Love It" – The Scrumfrog

The fall of the Berlin Wall marked its 20-year anniversary about a week ago. A year after the fall, Andre Lodemann, born in a small city in the GDR, picked up his first set of turntables.
Over the past nineteen years Lodemann has made a big name for himself in the Berlin music scene. This Om Podcast features some of his excellence, and given the context of Lodemann's history, it's really damn unique. If you're pressed for time, listen to the first eight minutes of this minimally dark, sonically emotional awesomeness!
If you're into those adjectives, then you'll probably want to listen to the whole thing.
If you haven't yet heard the new track from Amplive's solo album, Murder at the Discotek, coming out next year, then step yo game up. For those who have been livin' under a rock for the past month, check out the video for Gary is a Robot featuring Trackademicks and Mr. Micro. This little dittie has been blowing up on Al Gore's interweb as of late, and for good reason. Beyond the pretty hilarious shots at Kanye and the auto-tune phase (which the track actually incorporates to great effect), Amp gives his usually perfect blend of unique beat patterns and catchy synth lines.
The running theme of auto-tune and those who follow that trend is widespread throughout the track. Trackademicks' verse is all about being a leader not a follower in the game, and its clear that they view the current use of atuo-tune as a detriment to hip-hop as opposed to taking it to new heights like Kanye would like to believe .
The video itself is actually really creatively shot. Gary the robot is featured trying to find his place in the cool crowd, imitating the various trends he sees at parties and hip spots. From his trendy Kanye sunglasses to the BBC windbreaker, Gary steps his game up like a pro, illustrating the problems with hip-hop that Trackademicks and Mr. Micro allude to.
Be original. Don't conform. Now, check out the video here .
Check out this funky DJ Platurn clip pitting Dennis Edwards & Siedah Garrett Vs. DJ Nu-Mark with "Imagine Not Looking Any Further." This track takes Edwards' and Garrett's smooth vocals and matches it to DJ Nu-Mark's instrumental take on the classic John Lennon song "Imagine" to create a fresh jam with something to offer everyone from Beatles enthusiasts to smooth jazz cats to r&b lovers. Plus, the video offers some unintentional comedy with Edwards old school jheri curl and Garrett's sultry dance moves.
Enjoy it HERE.
One of the best live sets we saw this summer was by Los Angeles hip-hop duo People Under the Stairs, whose energy transformed a muddy Bonnaroo Day into a wild house party with jumping bass and MCs Thes One and Double K's dope rhymes about — what else? — smoking weed and drinking booze!
The duo's set drew a larger crowd than hot indie acts like Passion Pit and Janelle Monáe. But to most music fans, they remain an underground obscurity.
That's beginning to change with their latest release, Carried Away. Download one of the album's best tracks, "Step Off." Check out the rest of this feature and get your free download at spin.com.

Funky, spacey, minimal, and continuous; this SPIRIT CATCHER mix is perfect for a Friday night chill out session. SO pour yourself a glass of wine, maybe a few glasses, get on the couch, if you have a couch, and just CHILL OUT. Let those subtle elements come together, build, and fall apart over and over again, until you feel good. The only thing is… if you're trying to keep yourself inside for the night, best avoid the last seven minutes, because it will surely inspire you to go out and live it up.
SPIRIT CATCHER is pretty notorious for insane sets (check their myspace) where they do a lot of live, musical processing. This mix, entitled "Missing Danger", definitely captures a lot of their unique space flashes and funky undertones, but it's a lot more relaxed than in your face, which is often times a good thing. Thanks for the mix SPIRIT CATCHER!

Last night was spent with some musician friends of mine and might have involved too much alcohol.
But rather than just complain about my sad, sad, state, here's an interesting question: Why is there an aura of snobbishness surrounding classical music? We all know this exists, but my experience has been that it is completely at odds with reality.
In truth, many classical musicians have extremely "colorful", borderline hedonistic, personalities. And quite a bit of classical music itself expresses extreme and profound emotions: love, grief, heartbreak, triumph, etc.
I realize that a lot of classical music should be taken seriously, and has to be listened to closely. I just don't get why it's so often considered snobbish and highbrow, or so often discussed with a sort of saccharine tone.

Senior Jenny Weiland put the Lions in a position to win the game and freshman Chelsea Brackmann scored the winning basket giving New Berlin Eisenhower a 43-41 victory at Pius XI to virtually tie for the Woodland Conference - West Division Championship.
With the Lady Popes leading 41-37, their largest lead of the night with 3:22 remaining, Weiland drove the lane and scored to cut the lead to 41-39. After Vivevca Nwagbaraocha missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 1:43 left, Weiland scored on another drive to tie the score.
Then Aliyah Ramirez missed a shot and Katie Lang grabbed the rebound and Ike ran the clock down to 9.7 seconds when coach Gary Schmidt called timeout.
When both teams came back on the court, Pius coach Scott Herrick called time out when he saw how the Lions lined up.
Sam Kozlowski then drove the lane as the clock ticked down, missed the shot, but the 6-2 freshman Brackmann grabbed the rebound and tossed the ball off the backboard and through the basket for the score. She was fouled, missed the shot with 1.2 seconds left, but Erin Ganske grabbed the rebound as time ran out.
Weiland, who had three points going into the fourth quarter, scored all eight of the Lions points until Brackmann's game winner.
Brackmann never knew her shot when in.
"I didn't know I made the basket until I heard the crowd roar," she said.
Brackmann had eight points and Kozlowski led the Lions with 12. Gabby Green scored 14 points for Pius, doing most of her damage driving to the basket.
Ramirez had nine points on three 3s, as the Lady Popes finished with seven from beyond the arc.
"Our kids never quit," Schmidt. "They showed their resiliency. They really wanted this one. It was huge."
Added Herrick.
"There was tremendous effort out there by both teams."

Re: Arguments for slowing the game of football down/rhetoric
Gentlemen, you lost. You lost the argument about football, and thus lost the possibility of getting your clock rule passed this year. It's a temporary loss that we here at Frank Puntz Communications are going to turn into an enduring victory in one simple step: by changing the conversation into one we can win.
First, a question: Why do you keep harping on safety in sports?
Unless children or celebrities are involved, no one cares about safety in sports. All the viewer cares about as far as safety goes is not watching someone die live. The concept of safety is an aspirational concept, not an operational concept -- you know, like frugality, fitness, or fidelity. People like it, but they don't want to live it.
So if you want to sell something, it has to transcend aspiration. You have to tap into people's deepest desires. Bret Bielema's not far off when he calls his brand of football "normal American football," because deep down no one wants to be weird, and everyone wants their football to be theirs, and not Canada's or Russia's or China's. FYI: Russia's normal football involves Spartak fans. You don't want anything to do with normal Russian football.
You do want something to do with messaging properly, advocates of slow football. First, you must never, ever call it "slow football." Slow is bad. It highlights one of the advantages no-huddle football fans have from the start: they are fast, and you are not.
Fast is young, sexy, exciting, and vibrant. No-huddle football automatically turns the corner at 70 miles an hour with a barrel-sized energy drink in hand and a line of Adderall sliding around on the dash. Slow brings up the worst possible imagery for the listener. Slow football is your great-grandmother in a leather helmet, riding a giant turtle through a half-empty Jo-Ann Fabrics.
You have a big challenge, but not an insurmountable one. You may even have an opportunity here. Take it away, horrendous Cadillac ad.
You know what Cadillac's ad was supposed to do here. It was supposed to drive home the point that Americans work harder than anyone else on the planet, and that Cadillac is American, and that Cadillac, and American greatness, and look at those lazy foreigners taking a whole month off at once while we build hybrid Cadillacs. There is literally no French person with a pool like that, and if they do have one it is probably from money they made selling Liam Neeson's daughters into human trafficking, because wealthy Americans earned things while wealthy foreigners stole it all.
That is not, in fact, what Cadillac's ad did. What this ad did was remind everyone that other people in comfortable, well-off countries work less, take more vacation time, and don't have Neal McDonough trudging through their houses telling them how great all that deprivation is because ... because of who?
The man. That's who. He's the one who wants you to go faster for less pay. He's the one who wants you to only take off two weeks so he can get another fancy pool at his modular home filled with nice stuff you'll never have. He's the one who changes into his $3,000 suit and tells you lies about how we're going to go back to the moon and get that car, buddy.
He's the one who wants you to hurry up even during the last vestige of recreation in America: football. The bridge too far is under your wheels, my countrymen. It was built by men who mock the huddle, the great congregation of the team. Remember the team? At least part of Michigan never forgot the power of working together, and taking a moment to communicate what was really important before doing the slow, deliberate work of moving the metaphorical ball down the field together.
Those men would want you to mock the care with which the bourbonieres of Kentucky age their fine liquor. They would scoff dismissively at the pioneers -- not because they basically stole whole swaths of the country from its rightful owners, no -- they would want you to laugh because they did it walking the Oregon Trail one step at a time, and not sprinting the whole way in their bear meat slippers.*
*I have no idea what people made shoes out of in the 19th century and neither do you.
The no-huddle, no-vacation, no-sleep, no-life gangs want to maximize your life to its fullest by telling you the oldest lie of all: that life and football are one continuous action, and not a series of actions punctuated by rest, contemplation, planning, and that rarest element of all, empty space to think, breathe, and relax into at the end of the day. Life is not to be flash-fried; it should be slow-roasted with care, and shared with your loved ones when it's ready in full disregard of the ticking clock on the wall.
You don't have to believe that, buddy. You and your fastball friends can go eat flash-fried food alone in your fast cars while you all jam the same highway looking for the quick score.
The Craft Football Movement™ doesn't believe in rushing any of that. See how much better Craft Football™ sounds than "slow?" See how you've already changed the conversation you were losing into one you win? Craft Football™ is the kind of excellence we've forgotten, a pastoral legacy of care, time, and detail a lot of us lost somewhere on the rush towards that promised land of the endzone. It's attached to what your audience thinks it wants most: leisure, time, and the freedom to do one thing at a time.
Suddenly you're not old football. You're Craft Football™, the real football, the one that made this country great, and the one people watch to get away from the pressure of constantly being told to go faster, put up more meaningless numbers, and still wind up losing in the end. You are the people's football, not the spreadsheet demanding more sales digits in the third quarter. You turned no-huddle football into a cellphone holster clipped to dad jeans, all with just a single word.
Must Reads
Must Reads
Messaging guidelines going forward
Use the following talking points and phrasing as often as possible when discussing Craft Football™:
- "They call it the 'play" clock, not the 'work clock.'"
- "We believe football players do enough running during the play."
- "They have a word for the game our opponents want to play, and it's a four letter word where I come from: soccer."
- "No huddle? More like all-muddle, [talk show host's name]"
- "Haste makes waste and no crystal in the trophy case."
- "Substitutes deserve respect in the classroom and on the field."
- "Let's call the hurry-up no-huddle what it really is: a tax on togetherness."
- "Numbers can say whatever you want them to. You see 58,008, but turn that calculator upside down and all I see 'boobs.' See what I mean?"
And most importantly, let them know this: You're the football some never forgot. Oh, sure, even Oregon, the land of the pioneers, went to a fast-paced, mass-produced, non-organic huddle. But it's never too late to come back. You forgot your roots, Oregon, but the Prodigal Duck can always returneth.
We'll all do it: you, me, Oregon, Baylor, Auburn, America.
We'll all get back to a better and simpler time, and we'll do it just the way our forefathers did it: 40 precious seconds at a time.
There's always next year, gentlemen, because bad rules don't die. They just keep getting rammed down the throat of committees until they have no choice but to be vomited into the rule book. It's not an attractive process, but that's democracy.

Marijuana decriminalization advocates unfazed
Advocates for the decriminalization of marijuana are disappointed in a legislative panel's decision to kill a bill that would have shifted simple possession from a criminal conviction to a civil penalty.
House Bill 1443, sponsored by Delegate Harvey Morgan, R-Gloucester, sought to change the current punishment for simple marijuana possession – a $500 fine and a maximum of 30 days in jail – to a civil penalty carrying the fine only.
A subcommittee of the House Courts of Justice Committee recommended that the bill be "passed by indefinitely," essentially killing it for this legislative session.
"It's not a defeat or a loss," said Dee Duffy, executive director of the Virginia branch of the National Association for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
"Anytime we can get up and testify, it's never a loss or a defeat."
Her organization was part of a lobbying effort that encouraged supporters to attend the subcommittee's Jan. 17 hearing. For Duffy, the hearing was an unpleasant reminder of last year, when the same criminal-law subcommittee killed Morgan's 2010 bill decriminalizing marijuana.
"I think they knew exactly what they were doing before the committee even convened," Duffy said. "They had no intention of passing it."
For now, Duffy plans to work to mobilize voters for the upcoming House of Delegates election cycle.
"If you want to change the law," she said, "you've got to change the lawmakers."
Supporters of Morgan's legislation want to see the criminal conviction done away with because of its effect on an offender's permanent record. A drug charge can be a barrier to employment in many fields and can prevent students from receiving federal aid. The mere record of an arrest can be enough to cause problems.
"Punishments for possession of marijuana are far more dangerous than the drug itself. The policy ruins lives," said Devon Tackels, president of the Virginia Commonwealth University chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy.
"We've got people who are going to become doctors, lawyers or teachers, and they're seeing their futures slowly slip away based on one mistake," Tackels said. "It's really sad that we do that to people."
His organization participated in lobbying efforts to support Morgan's bill. Tackels attended the subcommittee hearing with several other SSDP members.
"It really hurt, after all the work we put in, to see the committee members – it was like the whole thing happened and they weren't paying attention," Tackels said.
Brooke Napier, SSDP policy specialist, shared that impression.
"They didn't seem to take the issue very seriously," she said.
Tackels said he would like to see more understanding and awareness of the issue from the elected representatives making the decision.
"The committee didn't show the empathy I would have liked to have seen from somebody in a position of legislation power," he said. "They just really didn't seem to get it."
Opponents of marijuana use believe the drug should remain illegal because it is dangerous. They say marijuana causes short-term memory loss and has mood-altering effects. On its website, the Foundation for a Drug-Free World lists anxiety, lowered reaction time and a reduced resistance to common illnesses as possible side effects of marijuana use.
Officials with the Drug Abuse Resistance Education echo those concerns. D.A.R.E. is a program led by police officers that teaches children how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug- and violence-free lives.
In an e-mail interview, Gene Ayers, the coordinator for D.A.R.E. in Virginia, said, "I realize there is a good deal of money being poured into the decriminalization of marijuana, but I think this would create many more problems than it could ever solve."
HB 1443 would not legalize marijuana. Rather, it "changes the current $500 criminal fine for simple marijuana possession to a $500 civil penalty, eliminates the 30-day jail sentence, and eliminates the criminal conviction record that would follow a conviction for simple possession," according to the description by the Legislative Information Service, the General Assembly's record-keeping system.
"The bill changes none of the penalties for manufacture or distribution of marijuana. The bill continues to require forfeiture of the driver's license and drug screening and education for any minor found to have committed the violation of possession of marijuana and maintains all existing sanctions for all criminal violations involving marijuana."
The Courts of Justice subcommittee agreed by voice vote to shelve the bill.
The bill may be done for this legislative session, but Napier sees a silver lining.
"I went away from this feeling disappointed in the representatives," she said. "And it made me want to mobilize and fight harder."
For the Record
On Jan. 17, the criminal-law subcommittee of the House Courts of Justice Committee recommended "passing by indefinitely" House Bill 1443, thus killing the proposal. The subcommittee took the action by voice vote; the Legislative Information Service, the General Assembly's record-keeping system, does not show how the members voted.
Delegate Harvey Morgan, the bill's sponsor, said all subcommittee members who were present supported the motion to kill HB 1443. Those members were Delegates David Albo, R-Springfield; Richard Bell, R-Staunton; Benjamin Cline, R-Amherst; Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock; Charniele Herring, D-Alexandria; Jackson Miller, R-Manassas; Ron Villanueva, R-Virginia Beach; and Vivian Watts, D-Annandale.
Delegate Ward Armstrong, D-Martinsville, was absent at the time of the vote.

About meI am a middle school Language Arts teacher with a secret love of reading YA literature. A former student described me as "a kid at heart." There is a rumor among the kids that says you must be "old" to teach, so I am hiding under the cloak of an ELA teacher for now.
About my libraryI love reading Victorian Literature. Recently, I have started reading YA literature because I need books to tell my students about. Since my oldest son is quickly reaching the tween age, my bookshelves have started filling up with books that he might one day want to read.

News: Jay Z Lets Another Kid Roc The Mic: "I'm Tryna Get Signed Tonight & S**t" [Video]
Friday, Jan 10, 2014 8:10PM
Rap mogul Jay Z's streak of genoristy continued this week in Chicago as new footage of him allowing a teenage female spit some bars during his "Magna Carter World Tour" stop has surfaced.
In the footage, Young Hov once again is shown giving a concergoer a moment to shine.
During his "Magna Carter World Tour" at Chicago's United Center on Thursday night, Hov brought up 19-year-old female MC Monique, who previously rapped for him at the "Blueprint 3? tour when she was 16. After expressing the hell she went through to get to the concert, the confident teen grabbed the mic and gave it her all. "You gotta be quiet so I can rap for him. I'm tryna get signed tonight and sh*t," she told the crowd before laying down some bars. While Jay didn't offer her a record deal, he did respond with some encouraging words. "You just told your whole entire life story, huh?" he said. "I would've done the same sh*t. F*ck that. It might not happen again." He gave her a big hug and said, "I love you," before she made her way off stage. (Rap-Up)
A few days ago, a lucky concertgoer's mother spoke on allowing her son rap days earlier onstage with Jay Z.
We spoke with Angela, who took her 12-year-old son Justin to the concert in Charlotte Saturday. She says Justin's dream was to "get noticed" by Hova and he was crushed when he was overlooked as he sat in the 8th row. Angela says on the ride home they decided to give it one more try, and she bought tickets to the Greensboro concert the next day. She says she was lucky and scored front row seats. Angela tells us nothing was set up. Justin jumped up with his sign and this time Jigga noticed. She says after the concert Jay Z was true to his word and took them backstage. They talked for 5 minutes about personal stuff. No numbers were exchanged and Jay said nothing about signing the kid. (TMZ)
Buzz behind the entire incident heated up the Internet on Monday (January 6).
Jay Z made one boy's dream come true over the weekend. The rapper was in Greensboro, N.C., last night for his Magna Carter worldwide tour, and while performing for a stadium full of people, one specific fan caught the attention of Hov. A 12-year-old boy was holding up a sign that read, "Can I rap for you?" Clearly, he was giving Jay an offer he couldn't refuse, because Beyoncé's man invited the young admirer on stage and handed him the mike. (E! Online)
Young Hov also assisted the 12-year-old with his raps with some suggestions.
The young fan took the microphone and managed to put his nerves aside before beginning to rap Jay's verse from "Clique." He made sure to steer clear of the curse words, but Hov had to cut in when the lyrics began talking about some not-age-appropriate things. Jay told him to skip "the drug dealing part" of the song. "Go back to the numbers," he said. So, he did--and killed it! Just as he finished, the audio for the track came on and the audience roared with cheers. Jay, all smiles, gave a huge hug to his young pal, who had one more request. "Can I meet you backstage?" he asked, and guess what? Jay said yes to that, too. (E! Online)

Do you ever have one of those meals that just sticks in your mind days and days after you've eaten it because it was juuuuusst soooooooo gooooood?
Of course you do. Because you love food, like me. You are my people.
Welp, that happened to me most recently with a chicken and gyro shawarma pita sandwich. THIS pita sandwich, to be exact.
Right? Right?? Even looking at it makes me weak in the knees.
So obviously my natural reaction was to recreate this beauty in my own kitchen as soon as humanly possible. Unfortunately that was a whole week later and it was torturous, BUT — the end result was fantastic. And I'm so jazzed to share it with you.34

On December 30, 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued its final rule approving the use of ASTM International's revised "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process," ASTM E1527-13, for meeting the "All Appropriate Inquiries" standard under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and its implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 312. EPA had issued a final rule approving the revised standard on August 15, 2013, but withdrew that rule due to adverse public comments. The new final rule addresses those comments and does not provide an additional comment period. The rule went into effect on December 30, 2013. Although the new rule does not prohibit the continued use of the previous ASTM E1527-05 standard, EPA states its intent to publish a proposed rule, in the near future, to amend the All Appropriate Inquiries final rule to remove the reference to the previous ASTM E1527-05 standard. The anticipated proposed rule will allow for public comment.
All Appropriate Inquiries and Defending Against Environmental Liabilities
CERCLA allows the government and private parties to recover their appropriate cleanup costs from any one of four categories of "covered persons:"(1) current owners and operators of a facility with contamination; (2) former owners and operators of a facility at the time that hazardous substances were disposed of at the facility; (3) parties that arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances to a contaminated facility; and (4) parties that accepted hazardous substances for transport to disposal or treatment facilities from which there is a release of hazardous substances.
CERCLA is a strict liability statute and three of its very limited available defenses – for innocent purchasers, bona fide prospective purchasers and contiguous property owners – all require property owners to prove that they conducted All Appropriate Inquiries into a property prior to purchase. In 2005, EPA adopted standards and procedures for meeting the All Appropriate Inquiries requirement, such as investigating past uses of the property. See 40 C.F.R. § 312. These standards provided that parties could meet the All Appropriate Inquiries requirement by complying with the ASTM standard in place at the time, ASTM E1527-05, "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process." ASTM E1527-05 requires parties to follow specific procedures for investigating a property's history in order to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs) – conditions indicating a potential past release, or threatened release, of a hazardous substance – and historical recognized environmental conditions (HRECs) – conditions that would have been RECs in the past, but for one or more various reasons are no longer RECs.
Changes to the All Appropriate Inquiries Standard
In anticipation of the upcoming issuance of a revision to the ASTM standard, EPA's final rule of August 15, 2013 approved the use of the revised standard, which ASTM International then adopted as ASTM E1527-13 on November 6, 2013. EPA's December 30, 2013 final rule adopts E1527-13 as issued by ASTM International.
Although ASTM E1527-13 is not a significant departure from ASTM E1527-05, there are three noteworthy changes: (1) updates to the definitions of RECs and HRECs, and the addition of a requirement to identify controlled recognized environmental conditions (CRECs); (2) the addition of requirements to assess the potential for vapor intrusion; and (3) the inclusion of additional steps in the regulatory file-review process and mandatory user responsibilities.
RECs, HRECs, and CRECs
ASTM E1527-13 simplifies the definition of REC to single out conditions that indicate a release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the property. A REC is defined in ASTM E1527-13 as:
"The presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment. De minimis conditions are not recognized environmental conditions."
The new standard clarifies the distinction between HRECs and RECs by limiting HRECs to circumstances where the release has been remediated to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory body, or to the level of having unrestricted residential use, without any required controls on the property, such as property-use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls. Importantly, HRECs must meet the current standards for unrestricted use, and not those that were in effect at the time the release was addressed.
ASTM E1527-13 adds a new definition for a CREC, which means:
"A recognized environmental condition resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority (for example, as evidenced by the issuance of a no further action letter or equivalent, or meeting risk-based criteria established by regulatory authority), with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls…"
CRECs must be identified in the findings section of a Phase I report, but must be categorized as RECs in the conclusions section.
ASTM E1527-13 also amends the definition of "de minimis conditions" to clarify that the term does not extend to RECs requiring environmental controls or use restrictions.
Vapor Intrusion
The new standard requires the assessment of vapor intrusion risks as part of the Phase I process. The standard explicitly includes vapor intrusion by adding a definition of "migrate/migration," which includes the "movement of hazardous substances or petroleum products in any form, including, for example . . . vapor in the subsurface."
Regulatory File Reviews and User Responsibilities
ASTM E1527-13 includes additional regulatory file-review requirements. If a property, or an adjoining property within the required search distance, appears on a federal, state or tribal record, the standard requires, within the environmental professional's discretion, the review of "pertinent regulatory files and/or records associated with the listing." If the environmental professional chooses not to conduct a file review, he/she must document the reason(s) for this decision in the Phase I report.
In addition, the client for whom a Phase I is prepared, referred to as a "user," must search recorded land-title records and judicial records in a county clerk's office for environmental liens and activity and use limitations, and then report such information to the environmental professional. The environmental professional may conduct this work instead of the user, but does not have an affirmative obligation to do so. These user responsibilities are now mandatory, and the user must also consider its own specialized knowledge, commonly known or reasonable ascertainable information about the property, and the degree of obviousness of the presence or likely presence of releases or threatened releases.
Impact of the New Standard
The changes to ASTM E1527-13 confirm the existing procedures for conducting Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and support the current regulatory framework requiring All Appropriate Inquiries. The revisions to the standard are relatively minor. In fact, many of the larger consulting firms routinely have been conducting the now-required environmental lien searches and regulatory file reviews, and have been evaluating vapor intrusion issues, as part of their Phase I Environmental Assessments.
Nevertheless, the revised definitions could result in the identification of more RECs, e.g., hazardous substances in vapor, and the new CREC category likely will encompass releases that had been identified as de minimis conditions or HRECs under the old standard. The CREC category may even include releases that were not identified at all under the prior standard. Moreover, because HRECs must meet the current standards for unrestricted use, and not those that were in effect at the time the release was addressed, historical releases that do not meet current cleanup standards will now need to be identified as RECs, even if they were adequately addressed in the past. We also anticipate some additional time and expense to comply with the file-review requirements, so it will be particularly important for consultants to begin those reviews as soon as possible after receiving authorization to proceed.
In sum, we expect that the use of the new standard – particularly the CREC category, and the clarification of the HREC definition – will result in more clarity in Phase I findings and will better enable the parties to a transaction to identify risks associated with purchasing contaminated properties.

LONDON — Canada's Eugenie Bouchard advanced to the semifinals at Wimbledon Wednesday.
The 13th-seeded Bouchard defeated No. 9 Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semifinals at a third consecutive Grand Slam.
The 20-year-old Bouchard faced four break points while serving at 3-all in the first set and saved them all in a nearly 10-minute game.

Halep, runner-up at the French Open, and Bouchard are both 15-2 in Grand Slam matches this year.
The other women's semifinal pairing: 2011 champion Petra Kvitova vs. Lucie Safarova.

Best Christmas Gift?
Hello everyone
I don't read much, so I need your advice, please.
My wife loves reading and she finishes a book in less than a week.
We have a bookcase with many books, probably 100+ and she reads some of them again.
She always says that she enjoys the actual books rather than doing it digitally but I still want to get her a device to be able to read digitally and buy all the books she wants. I will buy her a voucher with it as well so that she can buy some books to get started with.
What device would you recommend? Kindle or iPad or? I don't know the Kindle at all but the iPad seems like a good choice since it's an iPad and the iBooks app should provide all the needed material as well?
Any advice and input is greatly appreciated.And so I got lost in code...completely asphyxiated by it...

You can buy books through the Kobo store, or from other book stores, but there are also sites which offer out-of-copyright books free of charge. For example http://www.feedbooks.com/ , http://manybooks.net/ and the amazing Project Gutenberg - http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/ . The first two sites are probably easier to navigate, but Project Gutenberg is the largest (and, I think, often the basis for books offered from other sites, too). You can, of course, get free downloads in formats for Kindle and other devices, too.Don't serve your porridge and then go out for a walk.
