    -Keystone State's Official boating Magazine — - 1,"•• ."..1•0 Ara: 4711 a _ ti) VIEWPOINT On Wearing a PFD The weather was nice even though the temperature was a bit on the chilly side. The water temperature was cold because the ice had just broken up, but the fish were biting. After all, it had been a long winter and it was time to get out of the house and toss a few plugs at the bass that had been waiting since last fall. It was a fine day—fine, that is, until something unexpected occurred. No one will ever know exactly what happened. One minute he was in the boat; the next, he was in the water fighting for his life. He lost. Twice already in this short season, two Pennsylvania boaters lost their gam- ble with nature. Early season accidents continue to plague our boaters. Some accidents were almost unavoidable. Many were not. A little common sense would have prevented many of these tragedies. Fully half of last year's fatali- ties could have been avoided if the victims had only worn life jackets. Not wanting to wear a life jacket on a hot July .day is understandable. Not wearing one on a chilly spring day is simply ridiculous. Who do you think you are going to impress? What do you hope to gain—a little convenience? More freedom of movement? If you think a life jacket is going to inconve- nience you, think for a moment how inconvenienced your family would be if you didn't come home.

  • 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 June 2, 2014 -- 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.

From 5:30 in the morning, groggy and tired, To 6:00 at night, sweaty from the machinery. I am from summers under the rhododendrons, and winters filled with Sibling’s laughter at new toys and trinkets. I am from those who don’t understand, and those who think they do. From the feel of sand as I walk alone on the beach, surrounded by others. The taste of blood as I lose a tooth, and from the combination of six perfumes. I am from Mozart and Bach, pop and classical. I from metal strings, and face paint while I try to sit still on the plastic stool. From the wish to live another’s life, and the tears of knowing it shall not be. I am from fevers, and earaches, my face hot from throwing a tantrum in the snow. I’m from Thayer and George, and back again just to lose a few more pounds. The preppy, and the depressed am I from.
