  • CAR TROUBLE a Dark Comedy...About Suicide
    CAR TROUBLE A dark comedy...about suicide FADE IN: EXT. WOODS - DAY We open on a middle-aged MAN wearing a business suit as he sits in a gorgeous and immaculately maintained 1970s classic BRITISH CAR which is sitting in the middle of a secluded wooded area. INT. CAR - DAY The man looks despondent as he sits in the car. He’s mentally preparing himself for his mission. After some tense moments he takes his leather bound note pad and pen and scribbles a message on it then places the note pad on the passenger’s seat. He puts both hands on the steering wheel and looks out the windshield, takes a couple of deep breaths to ready himself then opens the door and gets out of the car. EXT. CAR/WOODS - DAY The camera tracks the exterior of the car and finds the man at the trunk. He’s getting out a long garden hose. From the interior of the car we see the hose poke through the window which is only about half way up. Realizing the window needs to be closed more, he reaches into the car and turns the key to the on position. When he presses the switch to raise the window, the window starts to move but stops. He presses the window switch again but the window doesn’t budge. He presses the button a few more times in succession but nothing. MAN Come on, come on. As he presses the switch the window moves again but then stops then starts again then finally stops.

  • Decision, and This Appeal Followed
    REPORTED IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 713 SEPTEMBER TERM, 2014 JOHN T. MITCHELL v. MARYLAND MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION Eyler, Deborah, S., Arthur, Kenney, James. A., III (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. Opinion by Eyler, Deborah, S., J. Filed: November 25, 2015 John T. Mitchell applied to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (“MVA”) for vanity plates bearing the letters MIERDA. The application was granted. Two years later, the MVA received a complaint from a member of the public about Mitchell’s vanity plates. It investigated and determined that “mierda” is the Spanish word for “shit.” Pursuant to a State regulation giving the MVA discretion to deny or rescind vanity plates that contain profanities, epithets, or obscenities, the MVA rescinded Mitchell’s vanity plates. Mitchell challenged the MVA’s action in a contested case hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”). The ALJ decided that the MVA properly exercised its discretion to rescind Mitchell’s vanity plates and that its action did not violate Mitchell’s First Amendment right to free speech. The Circuit Court for Prince George’s County upheld the decision, and this appeal followed. The novel issues before this Court are whether messages on vanity plates are government speech or private speech on government property; and if they are the latter, what degree of government restriction may be imposed on that private speech under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.1 We hold that Mitchell’s vanity plate message is private speech on government property, not government speech. Under prevailing United States Supreme Court jurisprudence, Maryland vanity plates are a “nonpublic forum,” in which government restrictions on private speech will pass muster 1 The First Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment.

Signed by the final examining committee: Meir Amor, PhD Chair Katja Neves, PhD Examiner Daniel Dagenais, PhD Examiner Bart Simon, PhD Supervisor Approved by: Greg Nielsen, PhD Chair of Department André Roy, PhD Dean of Faculty of Arts and Sciences Date: April 15, 2015 Abstract Since the turn of the 21st century, it has been the established aim of mobilities scholars to investigate the ways in which contemporary life is conditioned and carried out through the movements of people, things and ideas. Despite concerns over global climate change on the one hand, and the heyday of peak-oil receding quickly into the rear view mirror on the other, the primary vehicle of mobility in the United States remains the personal automobile. Contemporary American notions of self and identity are frequently interpreted through the individual’s relationship(s) to cars and driving, and while cars themselves are mass-manufactured items, they afford a number of many non-technical practices of customization as modes of individuation.

    Advisory U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Circular Subject: Guide Specification for Date: 6/01/2011 AC No.: 150/5220-10E Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Initiated by: AAS-100 Change: (ARFF) Vehicles 1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) provides an interactive specification that airports can use in procuring Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicles. 2. SCOPE. The three main phases of the ARFF vehicle procurement process are presented in this AC, including the: a. Description of the vehicle selection process; b. Selection of vehicle requirements; and c. Production of a formal specification. This AC contains information based on the minimum ARFF vehicle requirements established by Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports. The AC is also based on the FAA additions, exemptions, or amendments made to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 414, Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicles (2007 Edition) (as referenced in Appendix A of this document) and NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus (2009 Edition). Only ARFF vehicles and associated vehicle training equipment are discussed in this AC. Other related items, such as the communications equipment, tools, and clothing used in fire fighting, are not covered. However, that information can be found in other guidance material, such as AC 150/5210-14, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Equipment, Tools, and Clothing. 3. APPLICATION. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends the guidance and specifications in this AC for procuring ARFF vehicles. In general, use of this AC is not mandatory. However, use of this AC is mandatory for the acquisition of ARFF vehicles through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program.
