    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 October 21, 2011 -- 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.

  • Mostly Distance) Running, Part I
    Out of the bushes, ahead of the ambulance, and into the spotlight: milestones in the history of women’s (mostly distance) running, Part I BY CHARLES HOWE 1896 Stamata Rovithi, an impoverished 35-year-old mother who had lost one of her two children the April 11 preceding January, attempts to enter the first Olympic Marathon, but women are not allowed, and her application is rejected. Instead, Rovithi runs the marathon course the day after the official race. Departing from Marathon in the morning, she arrives at the outskirts of Athens 5½ hours later. Along the way, she had stopped to watch the ships sail by. 1926 Briton Violet Percy runs a marathon in London, from Windsor to Chiswick, in 3:40:22. October 3 Authoritative information is scant, and the performance is still regarded with some skepticism, however, this is often given as the first world marathon best for women. 1928 Under pressure from the Fédération Sportive Féminine Internationale (FSFI), women’s athletic events are included for the first time at the Olympic Games in Amsterdam: the 100 meter dash, 800 meter run, 4 x 100 meter relay, high jump, and discus throw. After the 800 meters, several competitors lay down on the grass in exhaustion from the intense heat, and require assistance. Reflecting the appropriate dismay of respectable society at this unsightly display, antifeminist elements of the press seize on the incident as evidence of the unfitness of women for endurance events; for instance, the London Daily Mail quotes doctors who claim that races over 800 meters could cause premature aging.
