Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Written Ex Parte Presentation, Unbundled Access to Network Elements; Review ofthe Section 251 Unbundling Obligations ofIncumbent Local Exchange Carriers, WC Docket No. 04-313, CC Docket No. 01-338 Dear Ms. Dortch: On November 16, 2004, Verizon filed an ex parte letter in this docket, attaching a recent filing by MCI in a California state regulatory proceeding. As Verizon expressly acknowledges, MCI's pleading was submitted in response to a request by the California Public Utilities Commission "for comment on whether it should revise traditional retail regulation of ILECs.,,1 Verizon contends that this filing amounts to an admission by MCI "that the arguments it advanced in this proceeding no longer are valid,,2 - a claim that misstates the facts and ignores the context in which the California pleading was filed. Even a cursory review of the MCI submission shows that MCI did not contradict the facts or contentions that it has advanced in this proceeding concerning the state of intermodal competition. More fundamentally, the California proceeding and this Commission's pending Triennial Remand proceeding involve very different issues. The California Public Utilities Commission is examining in two concurrent proceedings the retail regulatory framework applicable to the state's foremost ILECs, and the application of intrastate switched access charges. In the instant proceeding, the FCC is charged with examining impairment in the absence ofthe availability of Letter from Dee May, Verizon, to Marlene H. Dortch, FCC, WC Docket No.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.
