  • U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER
    U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER A Daily Summary of Motor Carrier Applications and of Decisions and Notices Issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration DECISIONS AND NOTICES RELEASED January 24, 2020 -- 10:30 AM NOTICE Please note the timeframe required to revoke a motor carrier's operating authority for failing to have sufficient levels of insurance on file is a 33 day process. The process will only allow a carrier to hold operating authority without insurance reflected on our Licensing and Insurance database for up to three (3) days. Revocation decisions will be tied to our enforcement program which will focus on the operations of uninsured carriers. This process will further ensure that the public is adequately protected in case of a motor carrier crash. Accordingly, we are adopting the following procedure for revocation of authority; 1) The first notice will go out three (3) days after FMCSA receives notification from the insurance company that the carrier's policy will be cancelled in 30 days. This notification informs the carrier that it must provide evidence that it is in full compliance with FMCSA's insurance regulations within 30 days. 2) If the carrier has not complied with FMCSA's insurance requirements after 30 days, a final decision revoking the operating authority will be issued.

  • The Bombing at Sterling Hall: a Three-Act Drama by David J
    ©2009 COPYRIGHT FOR THIS WORK IS HELD BY DAVID J. MARCOU AND MATTHEW A. MARCOU CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN TO DAVID J. MARCOU AS AUTHOR Bloody Math: A Drama in Three Acts, by David J. Marcou. Copyright 2004 for Original Draft, and Copyright 2009 for Revision, by David J. Marcou and Matthew A. Marcou. Author’s Note: This play is an historical drama in the sense that Shakespeare‟s chronicle plays were – they deal with some real, some imagined or slightly altered historical figures and events -- and very little of the historical dialogue was spoken in just the way it is re-presented here. The method is a combination of the descriptive and the telegraphic, and not all the stage directions and character descriptions are precisely detailed, because each production will need some latitude to achieve this drama‟s goals. But the key thing Bloody Math shares with the bard‟s chronicle plays is, it‟s hoped, the truthfulness of its ideas, language, characters, and action. Historical events can contain a great deal of drama in and around them – as the bombing at the University of Wisconsin‟s Sterling Hall did in August 1970. And yet, it takes a good writer to re-present relevant figures, events, dialogue, etc., so they will honestly enlighten future generations about the contexts, impacts, and relevancies to what went before them, and what came after. It is my fondest hope as the writer of this historical drama that viewers will learn from the mistakes of many people in 1970 Madison, including the large human mistakes of the New Year‟s Gang and the related mistakes of the authorities, and live better lives, as a result.

The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. The band and its membership went through a number of re-configurations between 1968 and 1974, achieving their current form when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group's first United States tour. Since the release of the band's self-titled debut album in March 1974, Rush has become known for its musicianship, complex compositions, and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy, as well as addressing humanitarian, social, emotional, and environmental concerns.

    Excavating Revolution: Stories of Memory and Material Culture Tricia Woodcome New York University, Global Liberal Studies 1 Contents Preface and Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………………3 I / Doors of the Underground The Weather Underground Organization………………………………………………………….4 II / Streets of Protest The Events of May 1968 in Paris…………………………………………………………………18 III / Minds of Independence The Algerian War of Independence………………………………………………………………31 Afterword………………………………………………………………………………………………….40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………………………….43 2 Preface The motivation behind the following essays began with a simple question: How can objects of memory reconcile the legacy of three unique yet related revolutionary movements with our present-day’s sociopolitical reality? The revolutionary movements in question are the Weather Underground Organization (1969-1977), the events of May 1968 in Paris, and the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962). Inspired by objects of memory chosen by either myself or my interview subjects, the essays intentionally vary in form, style, and tone to reflect the nature of each movement, as indicated by their respective titles. An accompanying process document details my theoretical, methodological, and reflective approach to writing this collection. Acknowledgements: These essays could not have been written without the guidance and encouragement of many individuals. Thank you to Professor Elayne Tobin, for trusting my process, for challenging my writing (and thus, my thinking) since my freshman year at NYU, and for introducing me to America’s underground revolutionaries. To Professor Terri Senft, for pushing me to explain my theoretical approach in writing. To Cayla Delardi, for her constant dedication to our class. To Professor Carley Moore, for teaching me that a youth in revolt often signifies a society in progress.

Review: “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet” Maxwell Patton July 13, 2020 “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet,” a new television series, debuted on the AppleTV+ streaming service on Feb. 7, 2020. Created by Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Megan Ganz, who are all well-known for their work on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the series focuses on a video game company behind the fictional MMO game “Mythic Quest.” I binge-watched the entire series in about a week, and I believe that it’s a well-executed workplace comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously and boasts stellar comedic performances from a quirky cast of characters mostly centered around the company. “Mythic Quest”’s main two characters are the company’s founder, an egomaniac named Ian Grimm (played to perfection by McElhenney), and the game’s lead engineer, Poppy Li (portrayed by Charlotte Nicdao), a graduate of MIT who constantly has to put up with the shenanigans that the company’s staff engage in.
