Leerone
Vu passed along singer-songwriter Leerone's debut full-length for me to post about and I'm so glad he did. Usually when a musician is labeled a "female singer-songwriter", the thought of acoustic songs comes to mind for some reason, but Leerone exceeded my expectations.
To Fill the Void
Imaginary Biographies is Leerone's first full-length album featuring eleven original compositions with wonderful piano ballads. On choosing the title of the album, she said, "I think of this batch of songs as little stories and worlds that exist in my mind. I was thinking a lot about when something is imaginary, specifically that we choose to keep it imaginary, or to make it real. That's sort of where the title of the album came from." On the opening track "To Fill the Void", she provides some uplifiting words for anyone who's had uncertainty with their life; "Who are they to tell you what your life is supposed to mean? Why are you so willing to be at their mercy?". On "JUNK / Peace of Mind", she dismisses the media saying she can't find peace of mind among all the advertisements inviting consumption and greed, TV because it's too depressing, and People magazine because of its "rhetoric of stardom".
With songs like these, it urged me to listen to her two previous EPs, In This Life, On This Road and Hail to the Queen. They sound a little more raw and stripped down compared to Imaginary Biographies. Hail to the Queen is just her and her piano, whereas In This Life, On This Road features other instruments accompanying her piano and beautiful voice. A song that stood out while listening to these EPs was "All Is Well" from In This Life, On This Road. It's a simple song about her naivety as a child. She believed her life would be like Snow White, but as she grew older, that dream faded away and seemed intangible. Leerone is a great musician whose releases I look forward to, especially with her choice of subject matter in her songs and amazing musical compositions.
Leerone - Care For Some Whiskey?
Happy New Year to everyone! Here's to another year of sharing music with everyone who visits the site with open ears. I'm glad that WHM has a variety of contributors, all with their own personal musical interests. I'm looking forward to 2009 for some new releases.
"Hanging around is no fun if we can't share"
— Leerone, "Share"

Samantha Crain
Traipsing Through the Aisles
Samantha Crain is a Choctaw Indian singer-songwriter from Shawnee, OK. She has self-produced recordings, but today marks her debut on Ramseur Records. The Confiscation EP is a remarkable 5-song "music novella" with each song telling a different story; from the press release, Crain says, "Every second, everybody is being fulfilled or robbed, and when that happens, there is a story. Everybody has a story and they are stories of redemption or they are stories of betrayal."
She and her band The Midnight Shivers are currently on tour promoting The Confiscation EP.

Ben Sollee - Learning To Bend
It's Not Impossible
Amid the releases from more popular artists such as N.E.R.D, Alanis Morissette, Jakob Dylan, and Emmylou Harris this past Tuesday was a quiet release from an up-and-coming musician named Ben Sollee. I wasn't too sure I would enjoy this album considering the cello isn't an instrument widely used and I'm not familiar with it, but Ben completely won me over with his debut album Learning To Bend. His voice has a similar quality to Donavon Frankenreiter, Ben Harper, or Jack Johnson that I really like. Stand-out track for me was "It's Not Impossible". The song starts with a pleasant cello solo and then other instruments join in creating an uplifting sound. Despite the masculinity or machismo that's associated with men and how "boys don't cry," he says that it's not impossible, "it's just the hardest thing I've ever done". The album also features an adaptation of "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke in which he wrote updated and politically relevant verses and was covered on W♥M. Other tracks that piqued my interest were "How to See the Sun Rise," a soulful tune and "Bend" about "learning to bend" or being strong enough to bend or change when something abrupt happens. Learning To Bend is definitely on my list of best albums of 2008 so far and hopefully it'll be on yours also.

Priscilla Ahn
Priscilla Ahn has been playing guitar since she was 14 and grew up in Pennsylvania. She considered studying music in college, but a professor advised her to pursue a career in music instead. And so she did. Her friends brought her to a recording studio where she met Amos Lee while he was recording his first EP and she became an intern. After that, she moved to L.A. and through a gig at The Hotel Café, she met singer-songwriter Joshua Radin. They liked each other's music and voices and he invited her to sing songs with him. They went on tour and she found a couple of days in between touring to record her first EP. After touring with Radin, she played a showcase for Blue Note. They liked her and she liked them and she became part of the Blue Note Records family.
I first stumbled upon Priscilla Ahn last year while writing about Allie Moss and Ingrid Michaelson. She was one of the artists under "Listeners Also Bought" and I immediately purchased her self-titled EP after listening to the samples. So, it's been almost a year since then and her full-length debut album, A Good Day, is being released today on Blue Note Records. Two of the tracks, "Dream" and "I Don't Think So," the former being her current single, were featured on her EP, but were re-recorded for the album. If you're a fan of Ingrid Michaelson, Jaymay, Rachael Yamagata, or similar artists, you'll definitely enjoy Priscilla Ahn. A Good Day has a nice blend of folk, country, pop, singer-songwriter type songs and Ahn has an amazing voice that can be listened to all day.
A Good Day is out now on Blue Note Records in stores and online. Just a heads up, the non-album track "We Were Free" is included with the album if bought from iTunes.

I've been following Julia Marcell's progress on Sellaband since July of last year. That was when I stumbled upon her Sellaband page and ordered her Storm EP. The EP contained a riddle that I couldn't solve so I was never able to "open the gate" on her previous website.
Since joining Sellaband, she's been gaining "believers" (657 to be exact) and has raised enough money to record a full-length. Today marks the release of her debut album, It Might Like You, and is also Sellaband's first release by a Polish artist. As a promotion for the past month, she's been posting short teasers on Youtube that are quite... umm... uhh... well... just watch them. There are two versions of the album; the regular edition
Accordion Player
with all the tracks and a limited edition with extra goodies that includes a twenty-three minute video documentary on the making of the album, "Billy Elliot" music video, the five video teasers, the album as mp3s (so there's no need to wait for the tracks to encode), and photos from the recording session. The website for the album includes a feature where you can create your own cover by allowing you to draw on a square portrait of Julia. Quite an interesting idea.
There will be a listening session for the album on Sellaband starting at 8pm EST for Believers and 9pm EST for the rest of the world.

I first came across The Magic Numbers in an issue of either GQ or Esquire Magazine a couple of years ago. The article included a nice illustration of them by artist Zohar Lazar, which is what really drew me to the article. I wish I could find the article, but I can't find it; I may have thrown it out :(
Gone Are the Days
The Magic Numbers are comprised of two pairs of brother/sister siblings; Romeo and Michele Stodart & Sean and Angela Gannon. They released their self-titled debut album in 2005 that was critically acclaimed. That same year, they contributed "Gone Are the Days" to a compilation album to help War Child International called War Child: Help! A Day in the Life. For the project, War Child invited artists to contribute a brand new, unique track and the songs were all recorded in 24 hours. Other artists part of the project include Coldplay, Radiohead, Bloc Party, Gorillaz, etc. "Funds raised by the charity's deal with Independiente Records will immediately go to their projects in Iraq and DR Congo. Further funds, profile and membership raised will go to maintain these projects and others in countries such as Afghanistan and Bosnia".
The Beard (Live)
2006 brought their sophmore album Those the Brokes, but it didn't get released in the US until a year later. The album was well received though some reviews thought the songs were too long. In 2007, they released a limited edition 2-disc live album that was recorded by Concert Live at the Kentish Town Forum in London. I've only seen The Magic Numbers in concert once at Webster Hall (with The Elected opening) and they were absolutely outstanding live. I've posted "The Beard", a song they tend to close with during live shows and will probably remain a live-exclusive. According to Romeo when asked about it on their message board he said, "I don't think there'll ever be a studio version of 'The Beard' as it would seem strange without an audience". So enjoy a live recording or catch it at one of their live shows.
Sissy & The Silent Kid
Most recently, they released a six-track EP consisting of their single "Undecided", an alternate version of "Let Somebody In" and four unreleased recordings.
Their vocals have also been part of songs by The Concretes ("Your Call"), The Chemical Brothers ("Close Your Eyes"), Ed Hardcourt ("Revolution in the Heart"), and a couple of others (List on Wiki).

Not Exactly Halloween Songs
Here's my contribution for Halloween related music. I had an idea to post songs that were created specifically for Halloween, can be interpreted as Halloween songs, or conjure up images of Halloween. Hopefully you agree.
Belaire
"Haunted Castle" from Haunted Castle 7"
First up is Belaire's "Haunted Castle" from their out-of-print 7-inch with the same title. It's a perfect Halloween inspired song and the lyrics are quite straight-forward so there's no need for explanation.
Official Website | MySpace | Label | W♥M Post
"Skulls" from BlackBlack EP 2
BlackBlack's "Skulls" is a Misfits cover about wanting and needing skulls. Instead of the high-energy, upbeat, punk sound, they covered it as a down-tempo, slow, dull (not in a bad way, it fits the tempo), rock song.
Official Website | MySpace
Skeleton Song
"Skeleton Song" from Made of Bricks
Kate Nash's "Skeleton Song" is a happy sounding, upbeat, pop song about love, though you don't have to view it that way. Since it's Halloween, you can view it as some weird relationship with a live skeleton.
Official Website | Virb | MySpace | Label
The Dandy Cowboys
"The Dandy Cowboys" from Not Sokute - EP
"The Dandy Cowboys" adds to the wonderful songs that Soko creates. It's a love song about a cowboy couple in which a lady is telling a man how much she loves him... or does she?
Virb | MySpace
Ghosts Have the Best Time
The Panda Band
"Ghosts Have the Best Time" from This Vital Chapter
I'm not exactly sure what this song's about, but I guess if you're dressing up for Halloween, go as a ghost.
MySpace | Label
"Black Magic" from Jarvis
"Black Magic" is about that dark magic that "blows your mind away and takes you somewhere that you wanna stay".
Official Website | MySpace | Label | W♥M Posts
October Leaves (October)
"October Leaves (October)" from Album of the Year
"October Leaves" isn't about or related to Halloween, but I thought it was a good song to segue away from Halloween. It's a beautiful song about someone acting differently around their partner around this time of the year; "everything's changed."

Little Boxes
The third season of the Showtime series Weeds recently began. The popularity of the show has increased and the main theme song has become more recognizable. The song is called "Little Boxes" and was written in 1962 and originally performed by Malvina Reynolds. Since then, it's been covered by many artists and since last season, various musicians were asked to cover the song so it could be used in the beginning of each episode. They've continued this theme for the third season and this time around, there have been over ninety submissions. Below are the show's covers of the songs from last season and the current one. Also, I'll try updating each week with the latest episode's cover. I've chosen to put them in list format this time for organization purposes and so the same album art doesn't appear multiple times. There are also full versions that some of the artists recorded (click the "Full" link). I also attached them below in a subcategory.

Fantastic job, but it would be great if you could note that Pete Seeger did more than just cover the song. Malvina Reynolds wrote it, but it definitely was Pete who made Little Boxes famous. I think his first recording of the song was on the live album of a 1963 concert at Carnegie Hall, We Shall Overcome, but there was a later studio version that was pretty successful as a single. There's what looks like quite a good discography on the Pete Seeger Appreciation Page.

[ciò è buono] NICE! Decemberists version here.
* French Voxer olivelela also has a post about the "Little Boxes" covers.
* There are apparently 3 different versions of the Pete Seeger cover. A live version that appears on The Essential Pete Seeger and Pete Seeger's Greatest Hits are the same exact versions. It's the same version that appears on We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert sans the stage banter. Then there are 2 studio recordings, one on Broadside Ballads, Vol. 2 that's acoustic and another on Headlines and Footnotes that uses a banjo.
* I noticed the "permalink" to this post includes an "s" after "little" making it "littles-boxes.html" instead of "little-boxes.html". That's a typo on my part because when I wrote up the entry, I entered "Littles Boxes" in the title field.

Plastiscines / Free NYC In-Store
The Plastiscines - Loser
Plastiscines are an all-female French pop/rock band signed to EMI/Virgin France. They derived their band name from The Beatles' song "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds", more specifically from the verse "with plastiscine porters with looking glass ties". They formed the band in 2004 and have released one album titled LP1. This past July, their drummer Caroline left the group with the consensus of the rest of the band (she was actually a replacement for a former Plastscines member).
From their Wikipedia entry:
The Plastiscines are one of several Parisienne teenage bands, referred to collectively as les bébés rockers. Paris Calling, a compilation album of music by several of them, was released in France in June 2006 (and was due for release in Britain in April 2007). It contained the Plastiscines' first studio tracks, Shake (Twist Around the Fire) and Rake. Those present at its launch included the French Minister of Culture, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, and Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty. Such bands have tended to be scorned by some elements of the press for their bobo (bourgeois bohème or bourgeois Bohemian) backgrounds: in other words, they have been portrayed as "the spoilt kids of rich parents playing at being rock stars".
(Zazie Fait De La) Bicyclette
For you New Yorkers... Plastiscines will be in NYC this Thursday (September 6 at 5pm) to play an Urban Outfitters in-store at the SoHo location (628 Broadway) presented by Nylon and UO. It's free, but the only way to get in is if you have an e-ticket, which you can simply print out and bring with you. Although you may have a printed ticket, it's based on a first come, first enter basis. So, get there early if you can for a better chance of being admitted.
Updated with video from the performance:

Allie Moss & Ingrid Michaelson
Allie Moss is a singer-songwriter from Monmouth County, New Jersey based around the NYC and NJ area. She's played at some great venues such as The Sidewalk Café, Rockwood Music Hall, Pianos, and others and plays alongside fellow New York singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. She currently has a demo that's hand decorated and numbered by her appropriately titled My Last & Final Demo. It's a compilation of "snapshots" she's written and recorded over the past 2 years to help fund her EP. I actually discovered Allie through Eisley's Laughing City a couple of years ago. After hearing a few songs, she became part of my list of favorite female singer-songwriters along with Ingrid Michaelson.
The Way I Am
Ingrid Michaelson is a singer-songwriter from New York (Staten Island to be exact, which is where I'm from and previously Brooklyn) and plays mainly around the NYC area. She currently has two albums and her songs have been featured in episodes of Grey's Anatomy. She also has a side project with Andrew Futral of The Age of Rockets called Ingrid + Andrew which they bill as Dutch Pop. I found out about Ingrid through Allie's MySpace since she was a "top friend" and in this case, they really are friends, not just MySpace friends. Allie recently performed at The Hotel Café Festival with Ingrid and they'll be on tour together until August 29. And then starting in October, they'll be opening for Matt Nathanson on a national tour.

Appeals Court Backs TMA in Chiro Lawsuit
Texas chiropractors may not perform needle electromyography (EMG) or manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), the Third Court of Appeals ruled earlier this month. The 58-page appellate court decision supports arguments from the Texas Medical Association and the Texas Medical Board that the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners exceeded its legal authority when it adopted rules allowing chiropractors to perform needle EMGs and MUA.
The appeals court justices, however, sent a portion of the case back to the state district court to consider the constitutionality of the Texas Chiropractic Act and the Scope of Practice Rule. Since the court of appeals ruled that the "diagnosis" of "biomechanical conditions of the spine or musculoskeletal system" is within the chiropractors' statutory scope of practice, the question to be resolved is whether this is constitutional, as the Texas Constitution restricts the practice of medicine to those who attend medical school.
The ruling is the latest development in TMA's ongoing legal case against the chiropractic board. As in other TMA lawsuits against nonphysician groups, TMA is attempting to protect patients' safety by making sure only properly trained physicians perform complex medical procedures.

Twenty years after it took effect, Texas' medical ethics committee review law has withstood challenge after challenge.

In October 2019, the state's high court declined to take up Kelly v.

Beangrowers – The Farewell Party
This evening (22/10/11) Beangrowers returned to the stage in Malta for the first time in 3 years to celebrate a retrospective of their four album releases (48K, Beangrowers, Dance Dance Baby and Not in a Million Lovers) at V-Gen in Paceville. The gig featured an opening show by Yasmin Kuymizakis, making her debut live appearance on the local scene. It seems that the Beanies are working on a new album too. Anyway, we couldn't let all this slide by on the MMI podcast and decided to open this week's edition with a song from 2004's Dance Dance Baby to make sure we mark this moment in time.
Caravana Sun – Waiting
A few weeks ago I opened the MMI podcast with Feel Better, the delightful debut release from Luke Caruana's Caravana Sun, which is the new name for the Sydney band formerly known as Carra. They are about to release their debut CD album at Bondi Beach entitled Rising Falling next Saturday (29/10/11) and they also released another video for the opening track from the album. The video 808 HD images set and shot under the cover of night in an abandon house using various LEDs, torches and flames to bring to life the haunted space that spilled into every room of a once-loved home. As each light source is introduced, it leads you into various rooms of the house, venturing under broken floorboards and through shattered windows.
The Run – Silver Clouds
This Gozitan trio made up of Ricky Bugeja, Matthew Cauchi and Mario Cauchi make their debut with this song and a name that apparently comes from the first letters in Really Undecided Name. This bluesy song is quite ambition sounding, not least because of its accompanying video (produced by Ricky Bugeja , but the band seems fairly aware of where it stands and can only really improve on this offering in the coming months and years.
Stephanie Zammit – No Hate Song
Relatively fresh from the significant impact she made on the local pop scene along with the pop act Baklava at the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2011, Stephanie Zammit returns with a self-penned song that shows she is more than a one trick pony. I don't know what the future holds for Baklava nor if they will ever delight those who like me appreciate whatever's Maltese in all genres of music, but I'm fairly certain that we haven't heard the last of this singer. The song is rather under-produced but you it at least has the potential to help Stephanie attract attention to herself beyond Baklava. That will serve her in good stead either way.

Improve cash and liquidity management.
Improve corporate governance of the treasury function.
Until the end of 2008, the Volkwagen business unit Audi maintained a separate treasury function from Group Treasury. However, Audi has now finalised the replacement of its financial management systems, and transferred its treasury, cash and risk management operations to the Global Treasury Platform. This was an important milestone in the overall migration project, enhancing operational efficiency and visibility of information without affecting the in-house services and expertise which Audi's treasury function provides.


Today while heading to a client meeting we saw a family of geese walking through the green space between the buildings.

Paignton's car ban street gets the Christmas spirit after week of rows
'This is guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face!'
Guy HendersonChief Reporter
The Dancing Elves will be in Torbay Road (Image: Frenetic Engineering)
Sign up for our Torbay newsletter and you'll never miss a big story again
Paignton's troubled Torbay Road gets the chance to forget its woes for the day on Saturday with a programme of festive entertainment. Traders in the tourist street dubbed Paignton's "Golden Mile" have been split over the current pedestrianisation trial which has seen cars banned from the street since September.
There have been angry exchanges, with some traders supporting the scheme but others saying it is destroying their trade. Protest marches have been held in the street, and the row boiled over this week when Torbay Council's Cabinet declined to discuss the controversy despite Conservative councillors warning that the Paignton could be turned into a "ghost town".
The council has called for calm, and says no decisions will be made until the trial has run its course into the New Year. One possibility is a partial return of traffic to the lower end of the street nearest the seafront.

Meanwhile, an afternoon of free family entertainment is being organised this Saturday by Torbay Road Traders Association, supported by the council. The Stagecoach Christmas bus, dancing elves and a "Snow Queen Bubbleologist" are on the menu.
Several businesses along the road are getting into the festive spirit and Father Christmas may even be making an appearance. There is also a competition from the traders to win a family ticket for the Train of Lights.
Nearby Victoria car park is running the "pay for an hour, stay for the day" promotion.
This is the second free event that is being held in Torbay Road since the car ban trial went live. "The purpose of putting on and encouraging events in this area of the town centre, is to demonstrate how people can come together and experience how the space can be used now and in the future," said Cllr Mike Morey, the Cabinet Member for Infrastructure, Environment and Culture.
"Head to Paignton town centre this Saturday to enjoy lights, dancing elves and bubbles – all guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face. There's also plenty of shops to explore in and around the town centre for some last-minute Christmas shopping and lots of places to stop and enjoy a hot drink and festive treat.
"Thank you to the Torbay Road Traders Association for their hard work in putting this event together."
The event is free to attend, entertainment takes place between 1pm and 4pm. The Dancing Elves will be on at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm; Christelle's Christmas Bubbles at 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm and the Stagecoach Christmas bus from 12.30pm to 4pm.

Munsell Color System is a framework of practical color theory commonly adopted by the industry. However, it has not been well adopted in the area of art education at tertiary institutions teaching color theory. The popular model used in current art schools is the Itten Color Wheel. A paper was published to introduce Munsell Color System for color theory training for art students. The Munsell Color System is a 3D model, therefore visualization is not as direct as a 2D Itten Color Wheel. The objective is to develop a 3D visualization software and color analytical tool to assist students' learning of Munsell Color System as well as allowing self-driven learning through a new color analytical tool for analysis of color scheme of important and relevant artworks like masterpieces and students' artworks.

El Vought XF5U conegut com a "Flying Flapjack" era un caça experimental de l'exèrcit dels Estats Units dissenyat per Charles H. Zimmerman per a la companyia Vought durant la Segona Guerra Mundial. Aquest disseny poc ortodox consistia en un cos amb forma de disc pla (per això rebia el seu nom, ja que flapjack és un dels noms de la crep americana) que es feia servir com a superfície d'enlairament. Tenia dos motors de pistons rematats per les hèlices localitzades al caire d'atac de les ales.

Disseny i desenvolupament
El XF5U-1 era una versió més gran i desenvolupada del prototipus original del V-173. Amb construcció completament metàl·lica, era gairebé cinc vegades més pesant i portava dos motors radials Pratt & Whitney R-2000 de 1.600 h.p. La configuració va ser dissenyada per crear una aeronau amb una proporció d'aspecte baix i baixa velocitat d'enlairament i aterratge però amb una bona velocitat punta.

Unstoppable Global Warming explains why we're warming, why it's not very dangerous, and why we. .It was nearly 20 years ago that he mentioned this. He noted at the time that the effects of all that water and its role in the water cycle was large enough to throw all theories into a cocked hat.
Unstoppable Global Warming explains why we're warming, why it's not very dangerous, and why we can't stop it anyway. Fred Singer and Dennis Avery highlight the many fallacies associated with the hysterical claims of dangerous climate change and unsubstantiated computer projections surrounding the theory of human caused global warming. They have managed to lay out, dissect, and expose the facts in a thoroughly readable style.
Unstoppable Global Warming is a 'must read' for everybody who is interested in the real issues surrounding climate change. Singer and Avery skillfully present their case for the existence of a solar-induced 1,500 year cycle that generates warming and cooling of the Earth's temperature irrespective of the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. The authors even more skillfully argue the implications of their findings to the ongoing heated debate regarding the human contribution to observed and future changes in climate.

Unstoppable Global Warming explains why we're warming, why it's not very dangerous, and why we can't stop it anyway. Supported by in-depth scientific evidence, Singer and Avery present the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Пользовательский отзыв - HistReader - LibraryThing.
Singer and Avery present―in popular language supported by in-depth scientific evidence―the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Using historic data from two millennia of recorded history combined with the natural physical records found in ice cores, seabed sediment, cave stalagmites, and tree rings, Unstoppable Global Warming argues that the 1,500 year solar-driven cycle that has always controlled the earth's climate remains the driving force in the current warming trend. Trillions of dollars spent on reducing fossil fuel use would have no effect on today's rising temperatures. The public policy key, Singer and Avery propose, is adaptation, not fruitless attempts at prevention. Further, they offer convincing evidence that civilization's most successful eras have coincided with the cycle's warmest peaks. With the added benefit of modern technology, humanity can not only survive global climate change, but thrive.

This is my 5th book on this subject and I have 3 more to read. It is the presentation of the "observable data" which provides a more reliable indication of past, present and perhaps the future climate of the earth which is the most compelling to me. The geological record speaks for itself about the earths climate and how it has changed over millions of years. There is no question in my mind the climate has changed and will continue to change. The one thing I object too when comparing and contrasting the data present to those who have argued from anthropogenic climate change is their prediction/forecast is predicated on computer models, also know as General Circulation Models (GCMs). I have not been persuaded so far by these models, because looking at the observable data (proxies) is far more compelling. I have come away with the understanding the earths climate and the variables involved are rather complex and more time and effort should be spent on studying the past climate events and less on trying to predict the future with GCMs which I believe are flawed in the weight applied to the various inputs/forcing (positive or negative). I don't believe nor feel the scientific community whose focus has been on CO2 know enough or who have chosen to ignore the "observable data" are looking at the entire picture before them. Scientific analysis is about proving and disproving theory, not cherry picking and steering selective data to fit a particular scientific outcome sought. I don't feel the debate has been open and fair. Moreover, the resources spent on and those wanting more spent on anthropogenic climate change are misguided and embarking on a fools errand. The monies would be better spent on understanding past climate history, new technology and perhaps on how we might cope should the earth cool or be plunged back into an extended cooling period.

Dr. Singer presents a very comprehensive and scientifically sound summary of the history and present knowledge (as well as its current limits) of the fully-Natural influences on our Earth's Climate and its Change. He explains how Natural Cycles, Natural Earth Processes and Natural Variability provides for a fully-Natural and self-Balancing climate system that is minimally affected by Man, the use of Fossil Fuels and Trace concentrations of atmospheric CO2 at around 400 ppm today -- Most of the CO2 is from Natural Sources (~95%) and Man only (~5%).
The key message is that our Earth's Climate is due to fully-natural & balanced cycles of alternating Warm and Cold periods these 4.5+ Billion years and the advent of Man and his Industrial Period around the middle of the 19th century along with CO2-emissions did not significantly change these natural climate cycles that are continuing to cycle up and down -- Warm, then Cold.
Chapter 5 is excellent detailing the many reasons that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is actually beneficial to Mankind and the Environment; Plus, Increasing Temperatures caused by the Sun and Evaporation of the seas Naturally cause the increases in CO2 -- Not the Opposite as Al Gore suggests, and the Positive (Warming)as well as the Negative (Cooling) feedbacks attributed to Greenhouse Gases are only theoretical and are too small to be measurable with our current and best technology.
He also is effective in debunking the popular "Man-Made Global Warming" and "Man-Made Climate Change" myth that has been so widely foisted on the citizens of the USA and the World along with the totally fabricated and unfounded 'Scare Tactic' of an 'Impending 21st Century Warming Climate Catastrophe' which has no support beyond the invalid UN IPCC and other models which can never be the basis of Scientific Proof without solid scientific observations -- No basis for Policy or rational action!

Makes a very convincing case. A late friend of mine, who was a professional physicist, told me that the biggest weakness he saw in the CO2-Man Made Global Warming hypothesis was the fact that it ignored the oceans. It was nearly 20 years ago that he mentioned this. He noted at the time that the effects of all that water and its role in the water cycle was large enough to throw all theories into a cocked hat. Among other things, the authors make clear that the CO2 cycle is a very small process piggy-backed on a very, very big process--namely, the water cycle.
I suspect that, at some time, the MMGW hysteria will be seen for exactly what it is.

I just finished reading Singer's & Avery's book (2007 Edition). I have read many modern "climate change" books (without having counted them) that presented arguments from the same side as this one. I believe that this is among the better serious, full-length books on the subject to date. I am aware of F. Fred Singer's excellent reputation in his field.
Plenty of reviewers here have explained why this is a well-thought-out Climate book. If you are reading this I refer you to them. I am not fishing for a "like" rating as reviewer. I'm merely saving you time. I will mention that I am old, well educated and have always read a lot, including into geology.
I'm about a third of the way through this book and love it. The science involved (in clearly understandable language - at least for this Engineer) and the historical background of natural, unstoppable, climate change though the Medieval Warm Period, The "Little Ice Age", the "Roman Warming", puts our ever changing climate in perspective. Rather than waste Trillions on the arrogant assumption WE control the climate... we should focus on doing what nature intended... prepare and ADAPT! It will probably be a while before we can modulate SOLAR OUTPUT!

Global warming is real, the problem is it doesn't fit the scare mongers narrative. Whatever man's contribution to global warming is, it is meaningless in relation to nature's continuing march forward. A couple of good volcano eruptions and the atmosphere becomes more polluted with poisonous gases and particulates than all the cars in California can muster up for the next ten years.

The Rebirth of Our Nation
Winchester Cathedral has six mortuary chests, painted wooden caskets which are displayed high on stone screen walls either side of the high altar area
Winchester Cathedral has six mortuary chests, painted wooden caskets which are displayed high on stone screen walls either side of the high altar area. These mortuary chests are the last in a series of similar arrangements for the safekeeping of the remains of many important kings and bishops who were originally buried in the Anglo-Saxon cathedral known as Old Minster, north of the present cathedral.
The mortuary chests are believed to contain the preConquest remains of kings and bishops but it had long been known that the bones were jumbled rather than individual skeletons. Part of this confusion goes back to 1158 when a first group of royal and episcopal remains, reburied for a time after the demolition of Old Minster in 1093–4, were put into lead caskets near the high altar. A contemporary chronicler noted that 'kings were mixed with bishops, and bishops with kings'.
A second group of royal bones, which had been reburied with greater care in the quire of the Norman cathedral, were later put into individual chests, but they seem to have been particular targets for the Roundhead soldiers who ransacked the cathedral in 1642 at the start of the English Civil War, so further mixing of the bones took place. Although the chests bear inscriptions stating who was supposed to be within them, it was clear they bore no relation to the actual contents—and the names of other individuals also said to be in the chests are known only from antiquarian writings.
The earliest recorded names are Cynegils, the first Christian king of Wessex (died c.641), and Bishop Wini, first bishop of Winchester; the latest include King William Rufus, famously killed in the New Forest in 1100. Other famous individuals thought to be in the chests are King Ecgberht and his son Ethelwulf, father of Alfred the Great, and Archbishop Stigand who appears on the Bayeux Tapestry.
The conservation of the mortuary chests, which began in 2012, provided an opportunity for the scientific analysis of the contents for the first time. A major development in 2015 revealed that the bones were from the late AngloSaxon and early Norman periods, thanks to radiocarbon (C14) dating on selected fragments by the Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit at the University of Oxford. These findings confirmed that the bones date from the same periods as the names on the chests, which include eight kings, two bishops and one queen, rather than being the result of later activity within the Cathedral.
Kings were mixed with bishops, and bishops with kings.
Since 2015, a team of biological anthropologists at the University of Bristol have continued working on the project to assess the likelihood of whether the human remains in the chests relate to the historical burial records. This process involves recording the contents of the chests and determining the number of individuals represented, along with their sex, age at death and physical characteristics. The researchers reassembled over 1,300 human bones, with each bone carefully measured and recorded, and at least twenty three partial skeletons reconstructed, a remarkable finding in itself since it was originally believed that the mortuary chests contained the remains of no more than fifteen people.
The results of the radiocarbon dating were calibrated by estimating the 'marine reservoir' effect for each sample, since high status individuals ate large quantities of fish from the rivers and the sea which contain older radiocarbon. The age of the individuals was also determined by dental formation and attrition, changes to the bone surfaces and the closure of the cranial (skull) sutures. The skeletons were reassembled on the basis of bone appearance and the estimated size and age of the individuals.
The ability to identify the sex, age and physical characteristics of these individuals has resulted in some exciting discoveries, including the remains of a mature female dispersed within several chests. It is not yet certain, but these bodily remains could be those of Queen Emma, daughter of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, the wife of two successive Kings of England, Ethelred and Cnut, and the mother of King Edward the Confessor and King Hardacnut.
Kings and Scribes: The Birth of a Nation marks the culmination of an eight year project to unlock the Cathedral's stories and treasures. Included within the four new galleries is the Winchester Bible as well as the story of the Cathedral itself, linking modern restoration works and contemporary craftspeople with their medieval predecessors. The permanent exhibition is open daily. To learn more visit www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk.
Queen Emma
Emma (d. 1052) was one of the most significant and best recorded of Anglo-Saxon queens. She is the only one for whom we have contemporary portraits and who commissioned a history to record matters from her own perspective. This work, the Encomium Emma Reginae, praises her beauty and wisdom, and compares her with notable women in Latin classical works as well as providing a decidedly objective overview of court politics during her lifetime.
Emma was the daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy and came to England to be the second wife of King Æthelred the Unready in 1002. Æthelred died in 1017 and in the following year she married the young Danish King Cnut who had taken over control of England from the West Saxon dynasty of her first husband. After Cnut's death in 1035 she based herself in Winchester and campaigned for the succession of her sons Harthacnut (1040-2) and Edward the Confessor (1042-66), fathered respectively by Cnut and Æthelred.
The bishop of Winchester was one of her supporters and Emma was generous in gifts of land, treasure and relics to the two major religious houses in Winchester, the Old and New Minsters. Her major holding in the High Street of Winchester, the manor of Godbegot (currently ASK pizza) was left to the cathedral (the Old Minster). She was remembered there as a major patron, but like many powerful women she also attracted negative gossip about adultery with a bishop of Winchester and involvement in the murder of another of her sons. Such charges are unlikely to be true, but Emma did have a difficult path to steer between different factions at the royal court, and her son Edward felt she had not done enough to promote his claims to rule on the death of Cnut.
The continuing research is deepening our understanding of the early Anglo-Saxon kings and queens of England, and visitors can find out more about the project as part of Winchester Cathedral's landmark National Lottery Funded exhibition Kings and Scribes: The Birth of a Nation
Emma's marriages were momentous in another way as they brought her Norman relatives into a closer involvement with Anglo-Saxon affairs. One unlooked for consequence was that her great-nephew William invaded and conquered England in 1066. Emma herself died in 1052 and was buried with Cnut, Harthacnut and other relatives in a burial area in Old Minster that she had probably played a major part in designing. The Norman rulers were keen to empathise their links with the earlier royal houses and this helps explain why the remains of Emma and many of the West Saxon and Anglo-Danish rulers were moved from Old Minster and into the new cathedral where they are still to be found.

They're great. It's fun. I don't drink beer but have started wanting to! Awesome group of peeps. They'll keep you entertained and informed.
A couple of great things about this weeks' episode 71. We stopped at a store just to get the Rare Vos and loved it. Have you tried the Tripel Perfection by the Omme Gang? I know you didn't like the Three Philosophers, but this was good I thought. Also, loved that The Great A'Tuin and Discworld got a shout out. We need to keep the genius that is Sir Terry Pratchett alive! Love the show!
Ga' damnit! A rewrite of my previous review seemed entirely necessary. This is one of the finest podcasts out there and all four of the co-hosts offer a real balanced approach to all topics from God-fear to beer! Shea can eat a big bowl though. If you are listening to W4W, please do, cuz it's good for you. Once again the Booges approves.
Did we like Superman Vs. Batman?
It's no that it was that bad a movie, it's that it was unremarkable. A tragedy when one thinks about the effects on cinema, animation and story telling of Supermen past.

Chapter 2. The Internet Address Architecture

Introduction

This chapter deals with the structure of network-layer addresses used in the Internet, the IP addresses. [p31-32]

Every device connected to the Internet has at least one IP address.

When devices are attached to the global Internet, they are assigned addresses that must be coordinated so as to not duplicate other addresses in use on the network.

Expressing IP Addresses

In IPv4, the dotted-quad notation for IPv4 addresses consists of four decimal numbers separated by periods. For example, 165.195.130.107. Each such number is a nonnegative integer in the range [0, 255] and represents one-quarter of the entire IP address. It is simply a way of writing the whole IPv4 address ( a 32-bit nonnegative integer used throughout the Internet system) using convenient decimal numbers. [p32]

In IPv6, addresses are 128 bits in length, four times larger than IPv4 addresses. The conventional notation for IPv6 addresses is a series of four hexadecimal ("hex" or base-16) numbers called blocks or fields separated by colons. For example, an IPv6 address containing eight blocks would be written as 5f05:2000:80ad:5800:0058:0800:2023:1d71. In addition, a number of agreed-upon simplifications have been standardized for expressing IPv6 addresses:

Leading zeros of a block need not be written. In the preceding example, the address could have been written as 5f05:2000:80ad:5800:58:800:2023:1d71.

Blocks of all zeros can be omitted and replaced by the notation ::.

For example, the IPv6 address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 can be written more compactly as ::1.

Similarly, the address 2001:0db8:0:0:0:0:0:2 can be written more compactly as 2001:db8::2.

To avoid ambiguities, the :: notation may be used only once in an IPv6 address

IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. The block immediately preceding the IPv4 portion of the address has the value ffff and the remaining part of the address is formatted using dotted-quad. For example, the IPv6 address ::ffff:10.0.0.1 represents the IPv4 address 10.0.0.1. This is called an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

IPv4-compatible IPv6 address. The low-order 32 bits of the IPv6 address can be written using dotted-quad notation. The IPv6 address ::0102:f001 is therefore equivalent to the address ::1.2.240.1.

The colon delimiter in an IPv6 address may be confused with another separator such as the colon used between an IP address and a port number. In such circumstances, bracket characters, [ and ], are used to surround the IPv6 address. The following URL is an example:

http://[2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344]:443/

The flexibility provided by [RFC4291] resulted in unnecessary confusion due to the ability to represent the same IPv6 address in multiple ways. To remedy this situation, [RFC5952] imposes some rules to narrow the range of options while remaining compatible with [RFC4291]. They are as follows:

Leading zeros must be suppressed (e.g., 2001:0db8::0022 becomes 2001:db8::22).

The :: construct must be used to its maximum possible effect (most zeros suppressed) but not for only 16-bit blocks. If multiple blocks contain equallength runs of zeros, the first is replaced with ::.

The hexadecimal digits a through f should be represented in lowercase.

Basic IP Address Structure

IPv4 has 232 possible addresses and IPv6 has 2128.

Most of the IPv4 address space is unicast address space, which is IPv4 addresses chunks subdivided down to a single address and used to identify a single network interface of a computer attached to the Internet or to some private intranet.

Most of the IPv6 address space is not currently being used.

IPv6 Multicast Addresses

Anycast Addresses

An anycast address is a unicast IPv4 or IPv6 address that identifies a different host depending on where in the network it is used. This is accomplished by configuring Internet routers to advertise the same unicast routes from multiple locations in the Internet. Thus, an anycast address refers not to a single host in the Internet, but to the "most appropriate" or "closest" single host that is responding to the anycast address.

Anycast addressing is used most frequently for finding a computer that provides a common service. For example, a datagram sent to an anycast address could be used to find a DNS server (Chapter 11), a 6to4 gateway that encapsulates IPv6 traffic in IPv4 tunnels, or RPs for multicast routing.

Currently, there is no cure for macular degeneration. But there are treatments and ways to reduce the risk of vision loss caused by the condition. A new retina treatment technology uses intravitreal injections of medications that target the disease. This has helped save vision for many people who had no other treatment options.
There are other approaches that also have helped numerous patients. Vitamins and mineral treatments using vitamins A, E, and C, along with zinc may slow down the disease, as does quitting smoking.
High energy light bulbs, light tinted sunglasses and other devices increase light and contrast, and help patients see better. Surgery is becoming an option for some, and research into retinal tissue transplants is continuing. Many people can improve their vision by increasing the light and contrast. This can be accomplished by high energy light bulbs and amber or yellow tinted sunglasses.
Patients at risk for macular degeneration can help themselves through early detection. Monitoring with an Amsler grid (a box with lines that detect changes through distortion) can help patients respond promptly should the disease begin to progress. Macular degeneration typically does not cause blindness. Central vision may be severely impaired, but side vision remains intact. Specialized lenses and other techniques can help patients with advanced macular degeneration.

This is understandable since they do not want to purchase a troublesome or risky home. Your answer to their genuine concerns is fundamental in their making a decision as to whether they will buy or not. Without a good answer, buyers will imagine the worst.
Is there any rubbish dump or highway planned for next door?
Your family has grown and you hence require a bigger house, etc.
Your goal is to ensure your potential buyers' expectations are met and they are comfortable with their decision to buy your home. Be as transparent and open with the marketing of your home.
Give them all the background information they need to explain your genuine reasons for moving in a way that is assuring and transparent to prospective buyers.

Keep in mind if some new ones are completed they will take priority.
Please suggest them below, if no suggestions are made I'll continue with the rolling roster.
any World War 2 missions at all.
i've been somewhat slack recently for updating my ww2 missions, was banking on IFA3 releasing the brits so I can complete 2 scenarios - which have been on hold.

Q: Add a javascript library to angular-brunch-seed I clone angular-bunch-seed on my computer
https://github.com/scotch/angular-brunch-seed
And I want to add breezejs to my project
http://learn.breezejs.com/
I copied the breeze libraries into my vendor folder /vendor/breeze/
And then I changed the config.coffee file as follow:
exports.config =
  # See docs at http://brunch.readthedocs.org/en/latest/config.html.
  conventions:
    ignored: /(^vendor\/.*\.less$)|(^|\/)node_modules\/|(^|\/)_/
    assets: /^app\/assets\//
  modules:
    definition: false
    wrapper: false
  paths:
    public: '_public'
  files:
    javascripts:
      joinTo:
        'js/app.js': /^app/
        'js/vendor.js': /^vendor/
        'test/scenarios.js': /^test(\/|\\)e2e/
      order:
        before: [
          'vendor/console-polyfill/index.js'
          'vendor/jquery/jquery.js'
          'vendor/breeze/breeze.debug.js'
          'vendor/breeze/q.js'
          'vendor/angular/angular.js'
          'vendor/angular-resource/angular-resource.js'
          'vendor/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.js'
          'vendor/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.js'
          'vendor/bootstrap/docs/assets/js/bootstrap.js'
        ]

    stylesheets:
      joinTo:
        'css/app.css': /^(app|vendor)/
      order:
        before: [
          'app/styles/app.less'
        ]

    templates:
      joinTo:
        'js/dontUseMe' : /^app/ # dirty hack for Jade compiling.

  plugins:
    jade:
      pretty: yes # Adds pretty-indentation whitespaces to output (false by default)
    jade_angular:
      modules_folder: 'partials'
      locals: {}

    bower:
      extend:
        "bootstrap" : 'vendor/bootstrap/docs/assets/js/bootstrap.js'
        "angular-mocks": []
        "styles": []
      asserts:
        "img" : /bootstrap(\\|\/)img/
        "font": /font-awesome(\\|\/)font/

  # Enable or disable minifying of result js / css files.
  # minify: true

And when i execute brunch build, check the vendor.js file.. no breeze library included!
What am i missing?
PS: When I remove angular.js from the build file, it's properly removed.

A: Well, the answer has easy and complex subparts.
The easy part: why it does not work.
angular-brunch-seed makes use of the bower-brunch package, which internally checks for component.json files in the vendor libraries.
That means that if you did not download the library using bower, or place the required component.json at the library's root (and a mention in the root component.json), it will not be recognized as a proper vendor library and get ignored in the config.coffee's joinTo regular expression.
The order part of this config.coffee file only manages the order of placement of your libraries in the generated vendor.js file; if that library gets ignored beforehand, the order line has no influence.
Tricky part: get breeze into your vendor libraries.
The clean way should be to download it using bower. Thing is, there is as of today no bower package for breeze, as you might have guessed.
[victor@M]<~> bower search breeze
No results
[victor@M]<~> bower search | \grep breeze
No results

That means that you'll have to create it yourself. As explained in the bower docs, you'll have to package the bower final library files (not the sources) and a component.json in a git endpoint (github for instance) under some name (say, bower-breeze) and register it to bower using bower register. Take a look at what angular guys did, for inspiration.
You will also have to include semver tags in that repository to match the versions of the base library.
Alternatively, you could open an issue on breeze's github and ask for a component.json to be included in their repository (or better yet, write it and file a pull request).
Last measure, you may try to just write the component.json in your vendor directory and check if it still gets ignored, but I did not test that. Could work (but it's a hack) Maybe you would have to at least add a mention of it in angular-brunch-seed's root component.json too (with version info)
To sum up, angular-brunch-seed is a tricky beast...

A: I followed your recommendations and sent a pull request to the Breeze team.
After the pull request has been accepted, I will had the repo to bower if not done by them already.
for now I created a component.json file into my ./vendor/breeze folder
{
  "name": "breeze",
  "version": "1.2.9",
  "main": "./breeze.debug.js",
  "dependencies": {},
  "gitHead": "0b0891a13d0023bbfdf91785bd99ac5a416bf9c7",
  "_id": "BreezeS@1.2.9",
  "readme": "ERROR: No README.md file found!",
  "description": "ERROR: No README.md file found!",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git://github.com/IdeaBlade/Breeze.git"
  }
}

the gitHead is random.. but whatever, when I run brunch build, I can finally see breeze included into vendor.js !
Thx a lot

Q: Changing a group name in AD, effects? If I change an AD security group name from "name1" to "name2". Will that effect foldershares that are shared out to the group "name1"? Will it automatically be updated to "name2", or will I get trouble?

A: That don't have any effect on folder shares. Groups are identified by SID which doesn't change if you change group name. If you go to that folder share and take a look at security tab, then you might see old group name there, but it doesn't matter.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enacts and enforces Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), which govern truck drivers and trucking companies operating in interstate commerce. The dangers created by the driving of trucks or other large commercial motor vehicles (CMV) while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances—and the prevalence of such behavior—are so significant that the FMCSA devotes an entire part of the FMCSR to strict alcohol and controlled substance use and testing rules. 49 CFR § 382.101. With some exceptions noted in the regulations, these rules apply to every CMV driver and employer of a CMV driver who operates a CMV in commerce in any State. 49 CFR § 382.103. Both drivers and employers may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties for violations of the rules. 49 CFR § 382.507. Experienced truck-accident lawyers are well-versed in the intricacies of these regulations and how they can be used to establish driver and trucking-company liability in actions to recover damages for accident victims' injuries and deaths.
General Alcohol and Controlled Substance Regulations
CMV drivers are prohibited from driving CMVs or performing other safety-sensitive functions while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. Safety-sensitive functions, for purposes of these rules, include anything done by a CMV driver from the time the driver begins to work, or is required to be in readiness to work, until the time the driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work. This covers, among other things, time during which a driver is waiting to be dispatched, inspecting equipment, repairing equipment or obtaining assistance for the repair of equipment, loading or unloading a vehicle, or driving a CMV. 49 CFR § 382.107.
Regulations Related to Alcohol Use
Drivers are prohibited from using alcohol while performing safety-sensitive functions, and employers with actual knowledge that drivers are doing so must stop the drivers from performing those functions while alcohol is being used. 49 CFR § 382.205. Drivers are also prohibited from performing safety-sensitive functions within 4 hours of using alcohol, and employers who have actual knowledge of such pre-duty alcohol use are prohibited from permitting the drivers to perform or continue to perform such functions. 49 CFR § 382.207. Regardless of how much time has passed between a CMV driver's use of alcohol and the driver's reporting for duty, a driver is prohibited from reporting for duty or remaining on duty requiring the performance of safety-sensitive functions while the driver's alcohol concentration is 0.04 or greater. Employers are prohibited from allowing drivers to perform safety-sensitive functions with such alcohol concentrations. 49 CFR § 382.201.
Employers are not required to conduct pre-employment alcohol testing on prospective CMV drivers. If an employer chooses to conduct such testing, however, the testing must be performed in compliance with requirements specified in 49 CFR § 382.301. If a driver tested for alcohol is found to have an alcohol concentration greater than 0.02 but less than 0.04, the driver may not perform or continue to perform any safety-sensitive function until at least 24 hours have passed since the administration of the test. 49 CFR § 382.505.
Regulations Related to Controlled Substance Use
The FMCSR prohibit CMV drivers from reporting for duty or remaining on duty requiring performance of safety-sensitive functions during any time drivers are using certain drugs or controlled substances identified in the regulations. A driver may be granted an exception to this requirement when the driver's use of a substance is pursuant to the instructions of a licensed medical practitioner familiar with the driver's medical history and when the medical practitioner has advised the driver that the substance will not have an adverse effect on the driver's ability to safely operate a CMV. 49 CFR § 382.213. A CMV driver's employer who has actual knowledge that the driver has used a controlled substance is prohibited from allowing the driver to engage in any safety-sensitive function. 49 CFR § 382.213.
Before a CMV driver may perform a safety-sensitive function, the driver must undergo pre-employment testing for controlled substances, unless the driver has participated in a controlled substances testing program meeting FMCSR requirements within the previous 30 days and fulfills other requirements related thereto. Employers are prohibited from allowing drivers to perform safety-sensitive functions before employers receive verified negative controlled-substance test results. 49 CFR § 382.301.
Record-keeping Requirements
All employers are required to maintain records of their alcohol misuse and controlled substance use programs. Among others, records of driver alcohol tests indicating alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater, verified controlled substance test results, refusals to take required alcohol and/or controlled substances tests, and driver evaluations and referrals must be maintained for at least 5 years. Certain other records must be maintained for 1 and 2 year periods, and records related to the education and training of breath-alcohol and screening-test technicians, supervisors, and drivers must be maintained while the individual performs the functions that require the training and for 2 years after ceasing those functions. 49 CFR § 382.401. Employers must also request alcohol and controlled substance information on drivers from drivers' previous employers. 49 CFR § 382.413.
