    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.

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two. Artwork by Sam Yeates, Rising from the Ashes, Willie Takes Flight for Austin (2017) 3-6 Introduction 3 This interdisciplinary lesson guide allows classrooms to explore the exhibition Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ‘70s on view at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum® from May 25, 2018 – February 14, 2021. Students will examine the causes and effects of the Outlaw movement through analysis of art, music, video, and nonfiction texts. In doing so, students will gain an understanding of the culture of this movement; who and what influenced it; and how these changes diversified country music’s audience during this time.

  • 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 Cadbury Foundation Donates €56000 to Support
    23rd October 2017: The Cadbury Foundation donates €56,000 to support Aware’s ‘Beat the Blues’ initiative The Cadbury Foundation, which has been in operation for over 80 years, has donated €56,000 to Irish mental health organisation and Cadbury Ireland charity partner, Aware, to support their ‘Beat the Blues’ initiative for secondary schools. A positive mental health programme, Beat the Blues is aimed at senior cycle students throughout Ireland. Delivered over two class periods, the programme is designed to teach students about mental health and equip them with the tools to deal with life’s challenges. Speaking about The Cadbury Foundation donation to Aware, Eoin Kellett, Managing Director at Mondelez Ireland said: “The whole team at Cadbury Ireland is very proud of our association with Aware and all of the positive work they do around mental health in Ireland. The ‘Beat the Blues’ programme is one of many great initiatives that Aware implements every year. It is so important to educate younger generations about the early signs of mental health issues and to equip them with the knowledge they need to care for their mental health. All too often, we hear of tragic circumstances arising from young people suffering with mental health issues. This programme opens the door for young people to talk about mental health and we are honoured to support such an important initiative.” To mark the donation, Eoin Kellett, Gerry O’Brien, Head of Fundraising at Aware, and Dublin football legend and Aware ambassador, Bernard Brogan, paid a visit to Larkin Community College, Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin 1, to join Bernard’s fellow Dublin teammate and Aware mental health trainer, Kevin McManamon, where he was delivering a ‘Beat The Blues’ talk to the school’s students.
