The Honolulu Marathon

The Honolulu Marathon is the sixth largest in the world. , Are always on the second Sunday of December each year. It began in 1973 with the interest of seeking personal longevity and better health.

The cardiologist Jack Scaff was among the first to prescribe the race as therapy for heart problem. In 1995, the Honolulu Marathon enjoyed the distinction of being the world leader

when there were around 34.500 competitors.

The event is popular with runners from Japan. In fact, most participants come from that country, to the extent that the Honolulu Marathon Association maintains an office in Tokyo to negotiate the entries.

Usually brings together about 25 thousand runners each year, and this has placed consistently among the world leaders in terms of ending competition.

The entrance to the Honolulu Marathon is available for those who can afford it. Unlike other events of similar size and popularity, there is no qualification standards, no fixed limits on the number of runners, and no deadline for finishing the race.

Penndot Road Conditions

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) sent letters to 1460 about motorists warning them that the deadline for the cancellation of their licenses had been postponed indefinitely.

The letter from Janet Dolan, director of the department, states:

"The Department of Transportation was notified last May 29, 2009 that his driver's privilege would be canceled on June 19, 2009 at 12:01 am if you did not resolve a discrepancy with your Social Security number. The Department of Transportation is postponing the date of cancellation.

When establishing a new date, the Department will send a notice of cancellation Extra requirements to prevent the cancellation, and a new effective date. "

PennDOT decided to postpone the deadline "to give more time to submit documents to the people" according to his spokeswoman Danielle Klinger.

In a letter to PennDOT on Monday the local chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the Union of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had urged a delay of 60 days of the deadline for cancellation of the licenses.

They argued that the documentation requirements did not include some categories of legal immigrants, for example those who do not qualify for Social Security card.

They requested more time because, they say, many people did not receive the letters until the second week of June, a fact which gave them less than two weeks to file the necessary documents to keep his license current, thus "violating his right to due process.

Of the 2,100 people who received the original letters of termination, approximately 640 have already submitted the documents required by PennDOT offices, according to Klinger.

The department found a total of 45,000 drivers conflicting Social Security numbers in a crawl started in 2007. Many of them were due to human errors and name changes.

Mark Ingram won the Heisman trophy - his father must be so proud

The corridor of the University of Alabama, Mark Ingram, wins the Heisman Trophy of college football

NEW YORK, December 12, 2009 .- The running back Mark Ingram completed the trophy case in Alabama, winning theHeisman on Saturday for a university that has one of the richest histories in college football.

Willis Pyle Animations

The story of little Gerald McCloy, a child could not talk but make sounds, is the story of one of the most extraordinary success of the animation of the fifties. Success not only for his excellent performance at the box office, but because it marked the confirmation of a studio, UPA, and a style of animation that, in varying degrees, influenced the work of other studies in the following years.

"Gerald McBoing Boing (UPA, 1951), violated all the formulas to use in industry and transformed the way of presenting an item on the display card, the stylized graphics over realism for use in Disney and elements of the story the simple gag humor.

Gerald McBoing Boing (UPA, 1951)

The origin of this short is equally unusual. The script is based on the narration of a poem by Ted "Dr. Seuss "Geisel and recorded to disk by Hal Perry. The tape was already in itself strange, because it consisted almost exclusively of voices and sound effects. Geisel and Steve Bosustow, UPA producer, agreed to produce an animated short about the poem, entrusting the management of it to Bobe Cannon.

Original drawings by Jules Engel

Cannon undertake an imaginative and unique work in a simple, linear style fully fund plans, but very effective. There is no depth or detail in the design, which suggest more than show, the story is the absolute protagonist of the cartoon. Bill Hurtz, designer of the short, tells the story:

"We work with a concept in which the style came directly from the story. In Gerald McBoing Boing try to get the absolute simplicity.How far can a few lines tell the story? Elemental As we become?. We developed a pattern of action that was continuous. When a character in the street turns and returns home the next cut shows him climbing the stairs, and follows in his room. We also design a movie without walls. There were no lines that demarcate the walls and ceiling.Furniture elements are positioned only in relation to the action. "

The film is beautifully animated by Bill Melendez, Rudy Larriva, Pat Matthews, Willis Pyle, Frank Smith. The designers of color, Jules Engels and Herb klynn make excellent use of it. Spot colors predominate. They are used psychologically, darkening as the rejection Gerald becomes more evident. Often the characters are not colored background still visible through them.

PA Turnpike Traffic to worsen on Toll Road

The cost of tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike will increase about 25 percent from January 4, and then rise about 3 percent each January thereafter, the Pennsylvania Turnpike officials said.

The extra money will be used for improvements to the Turnpike and to pay billions of debt for roads and highways, bridges and mass transit projects throughout the state, said Joseph Brimmeier, executive director of the Turnpike Commission.

The increase means that the toll for a car to travel the 359 miles on the Turnpike, which runs from the Ohio border to the border with New Jersey, will be $ 28.45, above $ 22.75 today. The same trip for a truck of 40,000 pounds, five-axis, will cost $ 92.50 dollars, up from the current $ 74.

The last toll increase was a rise of 42% in 2004. The new increase will be the sixth since the turnpike opened in 1940, charging a penny for each mile. Higher tolls on the Turnpike were part of a dual plan approved by the State Legislature in 2007 to fund transportation projects around Pennsylvania.

But the other half of the plan, tolls on the

The costs of transiting the Pennsylvania Turnpike will rise by 25% as of Jan. 4.

Interstate 80, fell when the Federal Highway Administration is not allowed to charge tolls

I-80. The Turnpike Commission is required to provide $ 2.5 billion for state transportation projects from 2007 through 2010. Today, already has paid $ 1.2 billion of that money and pay the rest next year.

"It is clear that the mission of the Turnpike Commission has changed in the last year," said Brimmeier.

In the next decade, the Turnpike Commission will make loans totaling $ 4.6 billion to pay for their own improvement and at least $ 5.7 billion to pay for state projects. The money to pay the $ 10 trillion, plus interest, will the increased cost in tolls from the Turnpike.

Indiana Unemployment

n this corner of America known as the world capital of mobile homes, Todd Brink earned his living by producing those brilliant large vehicles that plied the broad highways. Brink prospered, as its industry. Then came the hard times.

The misery began when their mortgage payments skyrocketed and his savings dried up, and last year was forced to sell their house and moved with his family to a rented trailer for $ 300 a month. As if this were not enough, in September the Monaco Coach Corp. closed its plant in her area, and Brink became unemployed.

Battered by tightening credit, rising fuel prices and slumping sales in recent months RV manufacturers have laid off thousands of workers, many northern and central Indiana. And Brink, part of that group of voters in overalls who closely watched during the presidential campaign is now trying to figure out how to survive.

"I always had a cushion of 2000 or $ 3000. Now I have nothing," says Brink, 38, who worked at Monaco for 14 years. "I had a job to support my family. Now I do not. It's devastating."

"I'm afraid of not being able to support my family. The whole weight on my shoulders," adds Brink, the sole breadwinner for his wife and four children, the eldest of whom is 10.

Economic anxieties about unemployment, the collapse of Wall Street and the specter of recession have come as a chill throughout this quiet stretch of U.S. homeland. The locals are alarmed by rising prices, mourning the loss of their well-paying jobs and doubt that Obama and McCain understand their concerns.

"Everybody plays on our fears now," says Jody Baugh, a welder who lost his job this month with the closing of the Monaco. "If one had to live one day as we would have a very different perspective" she says. They have not the remotest idea of the burdens of everyday life. "

For both workers, the loss of their jobs was the latest in a series of financial setbacks. The two held mortgages with variable interest rate in recent years rose so astronomical.

Brink sold his house when his payments jumped from $ 670 to $ 1050 per month. Baugh, 40, was caught in a bind even higher: rising home insurance costs, medical expenses and the common burden of having to help two of her four daughters who go to college. "They expect a family of six living on a salary of between 10 and 11 dollars an hour. It is impossible," says Baugh, heartbroken.

Both Obama and McCain are going to great lengths to gain the support of workers in the Midwest coveted. With less than six weeks before Election Day and a recent poll showed the candidates running almost even in seven states: Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Minnesota.

Industry in decline
In some of those states, unemployment remains higher than the national average. Certain corners of the region have been suffering for decades, and cities like Flint, Mich., Gary, Ind., and Youngstown, Ohio, have become symbols of the decline of the industrial Midwest. Both presidential candidates have targeted this region, with frequent visits that included a scale of Obama in Flint and one public appearance McCain in Youngstown.

While manufacturing remains a very active part of the U.S. economy, said Robert Scott, international economist at the Economic Policy Institute, between March 1998 and August of this year, the sector lost more than 4.2 million jobs.

Scott says that in recent decades has missed a wide spectrum of jobs, not only in the automobile or steel industry. The items such as electronics, tools, software, accounting and call centers also have moved overseas.

"20 years ago, people knew what he must do to secure a middle-class life with good jobs and benefits," Scott says. Now, all these roads are closed. Today it is much harder to get a job in a factory and keep " .

In Indiana, only, since 2000 manufacturing has lost 148,000 jobs, 22% of the total, according to official figures.

Obama hopes to capitalize on the frustration of workers in overalls and mobilized behind the state of Indiana, who for 44 years voting for Republicans. It will be a Herculean task, but with an unemployment rate of 8.9% in August, nearly three points above the national average, the change that Obama claims begins to make sense to Baugh, the unemployed welder. He leans over it, but want to be sure to choose someone "to help the middle class."

McCain also has its supporters. Kenny Twa, who owns a hardware company site, says he supports because "it is left to drive."Others admire his military record, but some voters here wonder if a president is enough to change the direction of the country and the economy.

Terry Swihart, fired from Monaco this spring after 28 ½ years of service, is concerned about the rising costs of medical care.

Her husband Jim, 56 years and also lost his job at Monaco, the column was operated for three years and have implants in hips and ankles. Between them they paid about $ 900 per month for expenses. "Salvage for this and that," he says, referring to the giant mortgage banks. "But to us who is going to save?"

The White Rock Marathon Track

They say the role is very "experienced" and it's true, today I was able to check. Last night I prepared the path for today: part of a track from Miguel (Racaruneando) and part of another, excuse me, I do not remember who he was. Well, that, on paper nice and easy, but ....., route takes the cake. That itself is a real marvel. If you have ever wanted to try it, do not doubt. As I did, or vice versa. To reverse the track, you load it into Mapsource and select the path / right button / properties path / invest.

The ascent to Raca (the first) is almost as hard as the marathon Borriol (which is saying something). The descent is well known but technically.

The ascent to the White Rock, I think we did in the Marathon Borriol (but itchy down less).

That if that pleasantly surprised me is the path that goes from the White Rock to the Mas de Chiva, very pretty. The view spectacular. No less beautiful reaching the final cresteo Magdalene (thanks Miguel).

"By the way, who on the Tico that?. It's like God is everywhere. That if you could save a little paint. Smaller is equal.

Distance: 14.22 km

Time: 2 hours: 52 ': 08''
