Shopping in Punta Cana Dominican Republic: Handcrafts, Souvenirs & Malls
A dream vacation to a foreign country would not be complete without a traditional souvenir. Just like the rest of the tourist destinations in the Caribbean islands, Punta Cana also has a good variety of souvenirs to take back home as presents for family, friends, and coworkers. The majority of the souvenirs, sold in the hotels, are the same as the ones you'll find in the small modest stores located on the beaches and streets of the Punta Cana/Bavaro region. Remember that part of the shopping experience in Punta Cana is to bargain in the souvenir stores outside of the hotels. At the vast majority of stores in the area you will find traditional souvenirs of the Dominican Republic, such as the famous Dominican cigars, and the eye catching jewelry made of larimar, a semiprecious blue stone native to the island. There are also amber inlays, colorful paintings depicting beaches and indigenous people made by local artists, as well as beautiful wood carvings, rum or mamjuana bottles, and many other attractive trinkets.
Palma Real Shopping Village
This is perhaps the most exclusive shopping centre in the Bavaro area, located north of Punta Cana. This partially enclosed building has gorgeous Spanish architecture and a beautiful fountain in the center. Some of the businesses here are jewelry stores, gift shops, banks, restaurants, and the only movie theaters in the region.
Plaza Bavaro
Plaza Bavaro is another excellent place to go shopping in the Punta Cana/Bavaro region. This shopping mall has a good assortment of stores and other establishments, such as currency exchanges, jewelry stores, pharmacies, and bars.

Cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In developing countries, data on lung cancer mortality are scarce.
Using South Africa's annual mortality and population estimates data, we calculated lung cancer age-standardised mortality rates for the period 1995 to 2006. The WHO world standard population was used as the reference population. Scatter plots and regression models were used to assess linear trends in mortality rates. To better characterise emerging trends, regression models were also partitioned for defined periods.
Lung cancer caused 52,217 deaths during the study period. There were 4,525 deaths for the most recent year (2006), with men accounting for 67% of deaths. For the entire South African population, the age-standardised mortality rate of 24.3 per 100,000 persons in 1995 was similar to the rate of 23.8 per 100,000 persons in 2006. Overall, there was no significant decline in lung cancer mortality in South Africa from 1995 to 2006 (slope = -0.15, p = 0.923). In men, there was a statistically non-significant annual decline of 0.21 deaths per 100,000 persons (p = 0.433) for the study period. However, from 2001 to 2006, the annual decline of 1.29 deaths per 100,000 persons was statistically significant (p = 0.009). In women, the mortality rate increased significantly at an annual rate of 0.19 per 100,000 persons (p = 0.043) for the study period, and at a higher rate of 0.34 per 100,000 persons (p = 0.007) from 1999 to 2006.
The more recent declining lung cancer mortality rate in men is welcome but the increasing rate in women is a public health concern that warrants intervention. Smoking intervention policies and programmes need to be strengthened to further reduce lung cancer mortality in men and to address the increasing rates in women.
Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, worldwide. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates show that the global burden of cancer is increasing, with new cases expected to rise by 50% over the next 20 years [1]. Research published in 2010 estimated that, globally, there were 12.7 million new cases of cancer with 7.6 million deaths in 2008; 56% of new cases and 63% of cancer deaths occurred in developing countries [2]. The emergence of cancer morbidity and the increase in mortality in South Africa are well documented and have been attributed to different factors, including smoking, occupational exposures, infections, changing lifestyles, and environmental pollutants [1,3,4]. In 2003, the South African Medical Research Council published burden of disease estimates and listed cancer as the fourth leading cause of death and the eighth major contributor to disability adjusted life years (DALYs) in the country [5].
Lung cancer is most commonly attributed to smoking; 80-90% of lung cancer cases are attributed to smoking and a smaller proportion (10-20%) is attributed to occupational exposure to agents such as uranium, ionising radiation, asbestos, silica, arsenic, beryllium, chloromethyl, nickel chromates, indoor emissions from burning fuels, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [6-8]. The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has also recently been associated with the development of lung cancer. A study on a cohort of HIV positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) showed that surviving individuals have an increased risk of cancers previously not associated with HIV, such as lung cancer, neck and head cancers, liver cancer and rare anal cancer [9].
Recent changes in smoking prevalence have produced changes in lung cancer incidence and mortality worldwide. While there has been a substantial decline in lung cancer rates in developed countries, such as the United States of America (USA), Canada and many parts of Europe [10-13], incidence rates are reportedly rising in newly industrialised and developing countries like China and India [14]. There are observed gender differences in these rates, partly due to the delay in the uptake of smoking among women, which usually lags behind that of men by approximately 25 years [15-17]. This is reflected in the increasing lung cancer mortality rates seen in women, while the rates in men have leveled off or are decreasing in many parts of the world [10-13,17].
An electronic search of the published literature revealed that the most recent study on lung cancer mortality trends in South Africa was published in 1985, covering the period 1949 to 1979 [18]. The results showed an increasing trend in rates for lung cancers in men. In contrast, rates were much lower and more stable in women. No more recent data on cancer trends have been published.
The aim of this study was to determine trends in lung cancer mortality in the South African general population for the period 1995 to 2006. Results are presented for the entire population and by gender. The study also sought to better characterise emerging trends by carrying out gender-specific partitioned analyses for short-term trends. The results will help to understand the direction of the lung cancer epidemic in South Africa and can assist in monitoring and projecting future rates. This will help to inform the need for public health interventions. The results may also be useful to health practitioners and policy makers in other developing countries.
Cancer deaths and population estimates
Both numerator (lung cancer deaths) and denominator (estimates of populations at risk) data were obtained from Statistics South Africa (StatsSA). StatsSA is the South African government body responsible for the collection, production and dissemination of official and other statistics, the conduct of population census, and the coordination of statistics produced by other organisations in the country.
Anonymous raw mortality data were obtained from StatsSA, from which numbers of deaths due to lung cancer were extracted. Lung cancer deaths were defined as deaths due to cancers of the lung and bronchus reported on death certificates. The underlying cause of death was coded by StatsSA. For the period 1996 to 2006, the 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10) codes [19] were used, while ICD 9 codes [20] were used for the year 1995. For the denominator, mid-year total population estimates by age group and gender were available for the entire study period. However, disaggregated population estimates by age group were unavailable for the years 1995, and 1997 to 2000. The population distribution, by age group, for the year 2001 (census year) was therefore applied to the population estimates to obtain disaggregated population figures by age group for those years.
Data analysis
Data received from StatsSA were in text and Microsoft Excel formats and were converted to STATA 10 format for statistical analysis (StataCorp, 2008 Texas, USA). For descriptive purposes, the numbers of deaths due to lung cancer were reported by gender and age group for the most recent year, 2006. To estimate age-standardised mortality rates for each year, the WHO world standard population structure was used as the reference population. Age-standardised rates were reported per 100,000 persons.
For trend analyses, scatter plots (presented as line graphs) of age-standardised rates against year of death were plotted, and regression models were fitted to assess linear trends in the age-standardised mortality rates. Models were fitted for the entire study period, and were also partitioned from 2001 to 2006 for men and from 1999 to 2006 for women. Ninety five percent confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated for regression slopes. Statistically significant slopes (p-values < 0.05) were interpreted as average annual increases/decreases in age-standardised mortality for the period.
Deaths due to lung cancer
During the study period, there were 52,217 deaths due to lung cancer. In the most recent year (2006), there were 4,525 deaths. There were marked differences in the numbers of deaths by gender and age. Most deaths (67.4%) occurred in men. The majority of cases were 50 to 69 years of age (Table 1).
Table 1. Numbers of deaths due to lung cancer in South Africa for 2006 by gender and age group
Trends in mortality due to lung cancer
For the entire South African population, the age-standardised mortality rate of 24.3 per 100,000 persons in 1995 was similar to the rate of 23.8 per 100,000 persons in 2006. Overall, there was no significant decline in the annual lung cancer mortality rate from 1995 to 2006 (slope = -0.15, p = 0.923). However, the rate for men decreased from 44.2 per 100,000 persons in 1995 to 39.4 per 100,000 persons in 2006, while the rate for women increased from 10.8 to 13.4 per 100,000 persons (Table 2).
Table 2. Annual deaths and age-standardised mortality rates due to lung cancer in South Africa from 1995 to 2006, by gender
Figure 1 shows that, for men, the rates of lung cancer mortality decreased from 2001 whereas, for women, the rates increased from 1999. For this reason, in addition to fitting a linear regression model for the entire study period, models were also fitted from 2001 to 2006 for men and from 1999 to 2006 for women.
Figure 1. Trends in age-standardised mortality rates (per 100,000 persons) for lung cancer in South Africa from 1995 to 2006, by gender.
The trends in men showed a statistically non-significant annual decline of 0.21 deaths per 100,000 persons for the study period. However, when the analysis was partitioned for short-term trends, a statistically significant average annual decline of 1.29 deaths per 100,000 persons was observed from 2001 to 2006. In women, a significant annual increase of 0.19 per 100,000 persons was observed for the study period. This increase was more pronounced from 1999 to 2006 at 0.34 deaths per 100,000 persons (Table 3).
Table 3. Regression coefficients for linear trends in age-standardised mortality rates of lung cancer in South Africa from 1995 to 2006
A previous cancer trend study covering the period 1949 to 1979 demonstrated increasing lung cancer mortality for men in South Africa [18]. Our results present a more recent trend. The lung cancer mortality rate for men remained stable from 1995 to 2000 but declined significantly from 2001 to 2006, by approximately 1.3 deaths per 100,000 persons (p < 0.05) per year. Assuming that this trend continues, the mortality rate of 39.4 deaths per 100,000 persons in 2006 would decrease by one-third in approximately one decade.
While mortality due to lung cancers is on the decline for men, the trends are in the opposite direction for women. The rate of lung cancer mortality in South African women was relatively low and stable until 1979 [18]. The recent trend shows that the age-standardised mortality rate increased by 24.1% from 1995 to 2006, at an average annual rate of 0.19 deaths per 100,000 persons. In the most recent years (1999 to 2006), the rate increased even faster at 0.34 deaths per 100,000 persons. Assuming that this increase continues for the next decade, the mortality rate of 13.4 per 100,000 in 2006 will reach 16.8 per 100,000 by 2016. As in many countries, South Africa is probably yet to experience the full impact of smoking on the incidence of tobacco-related cancers in women.
Declining trends in lung cancer mortality rates for men and increasing trends for women have also been reported in Europe and America [10-13,15-17,21-23]. In the United Kingdom, for example, age-standardised lung cancer mortality in men decreased from 108 per 100,000 persons in 1978 to 52 per 100,000 persons in 2007 [22]. In Italy, mortality due to lung cancer and other tobacco-related cancers was reportedly declining in men but not in women [12]. Data presented for the entire Europe showed that, overall, female lung cancer mortality increased from 5.5 per 100,000 in 1965 to 11.2 per 100,000 in 2001 [17]. In fact, the lung cancer mortality rate of 13.1 per 100,000 found in our study for 2001, is similar to the 11.2 per 100,000 persons reported for the same year in Europe [17]. Recent American studies have also reported that lung cancer mortality has declined in men but not in women [11,13,23].
The decline in lung cancer mortality in men in South Africa may be attributed to health promotion programmes, including public enlightenment campaigns and the government's comprehensive anti-smoking policies. These policies include consistent increases in the tobacco excise tax (and, therefore, the cost of cigarettes) and the ban on public smoking. These public health interventions have produced a consistent decline in smoking prevalence amongst men in South Africa [24]. Van Walbeek reported that aggregate cigarette consumption dropped by 26% from 1993 to 2000 [25], 60% of which could be explained by a reduction in the average number of cigarette smoked, and the remaining 40% by a reduction in smoking prevalence [25]. Cheyip et al. reported a significant decline in smoking prevalence among men employed by a South African platinum mining company [26].
While public health interventions, initiated more than two decades ago, have contributed to the decline in lung cancer mortality, the impact of the reduction in cigarette smoking may become more obvious in the next decades, given the long latency period of lung cancer. The effect of these interventions was observed in men and not women because of the historical difference in smoking prevalence by gender [15,24,25].
Another factor that may affect the lung cancer mortality rate is the impact of competing causes of death due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Since 1997, HIV-related deaths have caused a shift in adult mortality towards communicable diseases [27] and have also shortened life expectancy from 63 years in 1990 to 51 years in 2006 [28]. This, in turn, has reduced the probability of the development of cancers with long latency periods, such as lung cancer, and has thus caused a reduction in lung cancer incidence.
Also of note are reports of changing patterns of cancers due to anti-retroviral treatment (ART), with increased occurrence of cancers that are not traditionally linked to suppressed immunity, such as lung cancer [9,29,30]. How ART increases the likelihood of such cancers, and the duration of therapy required for them to develop, is still unknown. The influence of ART on South African lung cancer mortality trends remains to be seen as rollout of ART began only in 2003 [31].
The trends in lung cancer mortality in South Africa are similar to those in developed countries. Smoking intervention policies and programmes need to be strengthened to further reduce lung cancer mortality in men and to address the increasing rates of lung cancer in women.

Just finished watching it and was blown away.
Mordred and Morgana's reunion was well handled. Once again Alexander Vlahos turned in a stellar performance.
During the dinner scene I found myself thinking about "The Beginning of the End." In that episode all four of them - Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, and Gwen - were instrumental in saving Mordred's life. Now Morgana wants the other three dead. When she was ranting about Arthur, I could see that Mordred was struggling with his feelings, conflicted between the man who helped him escape Camelot and the woman that he had such a close bond with. His telling Morgana to calm down showed that he was realizing just how much she had changed. I didn't have any idea what he would do after that- but I was definitely not expecting him to stab Morgana. It'll be interesting to see how their relationship plays out during the rest of the season.
Slightly disappointed about Athiusa - under Morgana's control? Sheesh. What about Kilgarrah's words when she was hatched? Do they mean nothing now?
I was also annoyed about the change to Kilgarrah's words about Arthur's death - a Druid instead of Mordred? Come on!
I still enjoy this show very much and will watch it till it ends (and buy the DVDs too), but I think the creators need to get a better handle on continuity and stop tripping over what's already been established in prior seasons.

A recent study has revealed that genetic obesity can be offset by physical activity.
The report, which was conducted by the Medical Research Council, revealed that the tendency towards being substantially overweight can be offset by around 40 per cent through regular exercise.
This could challenge the popular idea that obesity is largely unavoidable for some people.
A sample of over 20,000 men and women were studied for the project, with DNA samples and detailed outlines of physical activity compared.
Dr Christian Jessen, a Harley Street doctor and television presenter, said that people needed to take daily changes into consideration when planning their exercise routing.
"If it's really baking hot outside, obviously don't go for a run in the hot street – that's going to make you feel awful," he said.
"Why not go for a swim? It's an easier thing to do when the weather's hot. You have to choose your exercise according to the weather."

Cofield: Rak makes the whole defense better
Aug 11, 2013, 2:55 PM EDT
RICHMOND—All of the talk about the return of Brian Orakpo after he missed 14 games last season has centered on how much his presence will help Ryan Kerrigan. If Orakpo can play as well as he has in the past, or even better, that should help draw attention away from Kerrigan and allow him to realize his potential going into this third NFL season.
There also has been mention of how an improved pass rush could help the secondary, which is either retooling or revamping, work through its issues.
Barry Cofield recognizes the benefits that Orakpo can provide Kerrigan and the secondary but he brings up another area where Rak can help.
"It's great to have 'Rak back, you know, and I think 'Rak being back makes Ryan better, makes [Stephen] Bowen better, makes the secondary better," said the Redskins' nose tackle in a sideline interview during Thursday's game in Tennessee. "We all work together."
Cofield brings up the line and the numbers tell the story there. In 2011 with Orakpo playing 16 games the defensive line combined for 18 sacks. Last year, without Orakpo and end Adam Carriker (5.5 sacks in 2011) the line's sack total dropped to 3.5.
Carriker is on the PUP list and he could miss a substantial chunk of the season, if not all of it. And there is danger is assigning cause and effect to Orakpo's presence and the line's sack total. But, as Cofield said, the defense works as a unit and the ripple effects of the absence of a player of caliber of Orakpo flow through the defense.
It's not like Orakpo will be the panacea for all that ailed the Redskins' 28th-ranked defense last year. But if he does come back and play "like a hungry wild animal" as Cofield says he will, all levels of the defense will benefit.

Electrophysiological properties of human hypothalamic hamartomas
ABSTRACT The hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a rare developmental malformation often characterized by gelastic seizures, which are usually refractory to medical therapy. The mechanisms of epileptogenesis operative in this subcortical lesion are unknown. In this study, we used standard patch-clamp electrophysiological techniques combined with histochemical approaches to study individual cells from human HH tissue immediately after surgical resection. More than 90% of dissociated HH cells were small (6-9 microm soma) and exhibited immunoreactivity to the neuronal marker NeuN, and to glutamic acid decarboxylase, but not to glial fibrillary acidic protein. Under current-clamp, whole-cell recordings in single dissociated cells or in intact HH slices demonstrated typical neuronal responses to depolarizing and hyperpolarizing current injection. In some cases, HH cells exhibited a "sag-like" membrane potential change during membrane hyperpolarization. Interestingly, most HH cells exhibited robust, spontaneous "pacemaker-like" action potential firing. Under voltage-clamp, dissociated HH cells exhibited functional tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive Na(+) and tetraethylammonium-sensitive K(+) currents. Both GABA and glutamate evoked whole-cell currents, with GABA exhibiting a peak current amplitude 10-fold greater than glutamate. These findings suggest that human HH tissues, associated with gelastic seizures, contained predominantly small GABAergic inhibitory neurons that exhibited intrinsic "pacemaker-like" behavior.

- "Some observations suggest such a possibility. It has been demonstrated with patch-clamp electrophysiological recordings that glutamate might evoke whole-cell currents in human hypothalamic hamartoma slices immediately after surgical resection (Wu et al. 2005). Similarly, glutamate and NMDARs agonists in the presence of glycine increased membrane-depolarization currents in neuroblastoma cells (North et al. 1997), and glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma cells responded to kainate by depolarization of tumor cells in culture or tissue slices (Labrakakis et al. 1998). "
ABSTRACT: Glutamate, a nonessential amino acid, is a major bioenergetic substrate for proliferating normal and neoplastic cells on one hand and an excitatory neurotransmitter that is actively involved in biosynthetic, bioenergetic, metabolic, and oncogenic signaling pathways on the other. It exerts its action through a family of receptors consisting of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), both of which have been implicated previously in a broad spectrum of acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we discuss existing data on the role of glutamate as a growth factor for neoplastic cells, the expression of glutamate receptors in various types of benign and malignant neoplasms, and the potential roles that GluRs play in cancer development and progression along with their clinical significance. We conclude that glutamate-related receptors and their signaling pathways may provide novel therapeutic opportunities for a variety of malignant human diseases.Journal of Neural Transmission 03/2014; 121(8).

- "HH tissue has at least two neuronal phenotypes: small (soma diameter usually <16 μm) and large (>16 μm) HH neurons (14–16). Microelectrode patch-clamp recordings have shown that small HH neurons have intrinsic pacemaker-like activity and fire spontaneously even in the absence of synaptic inputs (16, 17). Small HH neurons are abundant (approximately 90% of all HH neurons), express glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), and have an interneuron-like phenotype (15, 16). "
Article: Firing Behavior and Network Activity of Single Neurons in Human Epileptic Hypothalamic Hamartoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: Human hypothalamic hamartomas (HH) are intrinsically epileptogenic and are associated with treatment-resistant gelastic seizures. The basic cellular mechanisms responsible for seizure onset within HH are unknown. We used intra-operative microwire recordings of single neuron activity to measure the spontaneous firing rate of neurons and the degree of functional connection between neurons within the tumor. Technique: Fourteen patients underwent transventricular endoscopic resection of HH for treatment-resistant epilepsy. Prior to surgical resection, single neuron recordings from bundled microwires (total of nine contacts) were obtained from HH tissue. Spontaneous activity was recorded for two or three 5-min epochs under steady-state general anesthesia. Off-line analysis included cluster analysis of single unit activity and probability analysis of firing relationships between pairs of neurons. Results: Altogether, 222 neurons were identified (mean 6 neurons per recording epoch). Cluster analysis of single neuron firing utilizing a mixture of Gaussians model identified two distinct populations on the basis of firing rate (median firing frequency 0.6 versus 15.0 spikes per second; p < 10−5). Cluster analysis identified three populations determined by levels of burst firing (median burst indices of 0.015, 0.18, and 0.39; p < 10−15). Unbiased analysis of spontaneous single unit behavior showed that 51% of all possible neuron pairs within each recording epoch had a significant level of firing synchrony (p < 10−15). The subgroup of neurons with higher median firing frequencies was more likely to demonstrate synchronous firing (p < 10−7). Conclusion: Hypothalamic hamartoma tissue in vivo contains neurons which fire spontaneously. The activity of single neurons is diverse but distributes into at least two electrophysiological phenoytpes. Functional linkage between single neurons suggests that HH neurons exist within local networks that may contribute to ictogenesis.Frontiers in Neurology 12/2013; 4:210. DOI:10.3389/fneur.2013.00210
- "HH tissue is composed of small-neuron clusters that are interspersed with large neurons (Coons et al., 2007). Although small caminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons (10–16 lm) spontaneously fire action potentials (Wu et al., 2005; Kim do et al., 2008), the large neurons (20–28 lm and often embedded in a GABA-rich neuropil) are quiescent at resting membrane potential and depolarize in response to GABA A -receptor activation (Kim do et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2009; We et al., 2008). Serial reconstruction studies traced axonal projections from small neurons to symmetric (putative inhibitory) terminal synapses onto the soma of large neurons (Beggs et al., 2008), further supporting our current working hypothesis of HH tissue epileptogenicity (see Fenoglio et al., 2007): Clusters of small, spontaneously firing neurons release GABA onto large neurons and activate GABA A receptors, inducing depolarization and action potential firing of large neurons. "
Article: L-Type calcium channel blockade reduces network activity in human epileptic hypothalamic hamartoma tissue[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Human hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) are associated with gelastic seizures, intrinsically epileptogenic, and notoriously refractory to medical therapy. We previously reported that the L-type calcium channel antagonist nifedipine blocks spontaneous firing and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)(A)-induced depolarization of single cells in HH tissue slices. In this study, we examined whether blocking L-type calcium channels attenuates emergent activity of HH neuronal networks. A high-density multielectrode array was used to record extracellular signals from surgically resected HH tissue slices. High-frequency oscillations (HFOs, ripples and fast ripples), field potentials, and multiunit activity (MUA) were studied (1) under normal and provoked [4-aminopyridine (4-AP)] conditions; and (2) following nifedipine treatment. Spontaneous activity occurred during normal artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) conditions. Nifedipine reduced the total number and duration of HFOs, abolished the association of HFOs with field potentials, and increased the inter-HFO burst intervals. Notably, the number of active regions was decreased by 45 ± 9% (mean ± SEM) after nifedipine treatment. When considering electrodes that detected activity, nifedipine increased MUA in 58% of electrodes and reduced the number of field potentials in 67% of electrodes. Provocation with 4-AP increased the number of events and, as the number of electrodes that detected activity increased 248 ± 62%, promoted tissue-wide propagation of activity. During provocation with 4-AP, nifedipine effectively reduced HFOs, the association of HFOs with field potentials, field potentials, MUA, and the number of active regions, and limited propagation. This is the first study to report (1) the presence of HFOs in human subcortical epileptic brain tissue in vitro; (2) the modulation of "pathologic" high-frequency oscillations (i.e., fast ripples) in human epileptic tissue by L-type calcium channel blockers; and (3) the modulation of network physiology and synchrony of emergent activity in human epileptic tissue following blockade of L-type calcium channels. Attenuation of activity in HH tissue during normal and provoked conditions supports a potential therapeutic usefulness of L-type calcium channel blockers in epileptic patients with HH.Epilepsia 03/2011; 52(3):531-40.

I agree. I have used waze but never reported speed traps or accidents or really anything. I did report a few errors on Apple maps a year ago but they still have not been corrected. I don't think you can reply on user reporting. A better way would be for Apple maps to just monitor your speed and other data automatically and make smart adjustments. But still allow for manual reporting as well for those kind souls that actually do report problems.

100 years of the T-shirt
Seems hard to believe something as ubiquitous as the T-shirt was ever . . . new. But that's what it was back in 1913, when the U.S. Navy ordered them for sailors to wear under their uniforms. To celebrate the fashion staple's 100th birthday, we've gathered a quick look at its history and some classic and not-so-classic tees to keep you cool the rest of the summer.

David Canary
|David Canary
|David Hoyt Canary
August 25, 1938
Elwood, Indiana, U.S.
|Years active
|Julie M. Anderson (1965-1971, divorced; 1 child)
Maureen Maloney (1982-present; 2 children)
David Hoyt Canary (born August 25, 1938) is an American actor.
Canary served a tour of duty in the United States Army. After a semi-regular role as Russ Gehring in the prime time serial Peyton Place, Canary came to international prominence in 1967 on the Western series Bonanza.
In 1967, he appeared in the now-classic western movie Hombre, in which he was featured with Paul Newman, Richard Boone, and Cameron Mitchell. Canary guest starred in a two-part episode of CBS's Gunsmoke entitled "Nitro", played a mobster with Jason Robards in the film The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and appeared on the short-lived CBS western Dundee and the Culhane.
A contract dispute that year between Leonard Nimoy and the producers of Star Trek forced Herb Solow, Robert H. Justman and Gene Roddenberry to compile a list of candidates for consideration to takeover the role of Mr. Spock. As revealed in Solow and Justman's book, Star Trek - The Inside Story, Canary was one of the "A List" candidates.
When David Dortort (Bonanza, The High Chaparral, The Cowboys creator/producer), was looking for a new foreman for the Ponderosa Ranch, he saw Canary in Hombre and cast him in the role because Canary was "the kind of kid who comes on and suddenly there's nobody else on the screen". Canary left Bonanza in June 1970 after a contract dispute. He returned after Dan Blocker's death in May 1972. Canary said that he loved Bonanza, except for filming in Nevada in 100-degree heat.
Canary appeared on Broadway with Colleen Dewhurst in Great Day In The Morning and with Geraldine Page in Tennessee Williams' Clothes For A Summer Horse. He has done numerous musical/stage roles in shows such as Kismet, Man Of La Mancha, and The Fantastics, as well as dramatic performances in The Seagull and Macbeth.
David's first daytime television role was on Search for Tomorrow where he played the short-term role of Liza Walton's agent. He had two short stints on The Doctors as Far Wind, a Jim Jones like cult leader who took the hospital staff hostage, killing the character of Melissa Dancy (Dorian Lo Pinto) in the process.
In 1981, he assumed the role of Steve Frame on the soap opera Another World. However, the effort to revive the Steve/Alice/Rachel triangle was largely unsuccessful, and Canary left the show in 1983 after the character of Steve Frame was killed off in a car crash.
On New Year's Eve 1983, he joined the cast of All My Children in the role of the cunning Adam Chandler.[1][2] That following year, he was also cast as Adam's meek twin brother, Stuart whom everybody at first (including the audience) believed was Adam. The actor brought several facets to the twins, portraying the impeccably dressed Adam as a cut-throat businessman and the big-hearted, guileless Stuart (who was originally deranged and attempted to kill Palmer Cortlandt after falsely believing had caused their sister to commit suicide) appearing with mussed hair, loud sweaters, hiked pants and an occasional droopy sock. One familiar publicity shot of the character shows him with one shirt collar under his sweater and the other collar over the sweater. In May 2009, Adam accidentally shot and killed Stuart while using prescribed narcotics. Canary retired from full-time acting and departed from All My Children in April 2010 (last taping in late March and last airing April 23, 2010). Adam left Pine Valley to regain both his health and the love of Brooke English (Julia Barr), an ex-wife.
Other prime-time television guest appearances include: Law & Order, Touched by an Angel, S.W.A.T., Primas, Alias Smith and Jones, Police Story, Kung-Fu, Hawaii Five-O, Remember WENN, and Cimarron Strip. The actor also appeared as the locomotive engineer in the movie Atomic Train. In 2004, he appeared as mathematical genius Robert in a well-reviewed production of David Auburn's Proof in Canton, Ohio, near his hometown of Massillon.
Canary has been known to be most affable and accessible to fans of both All My Children and Bonanza. At Disney resorts, he has done "meet and greet" appearances signing autographs for AMC fans. The actor has also made several appearances at the Lake Tahoe site of the Ponderosa ranch, a tourist attraction from 1967-2004. His last appearance at the Ponderosa ranch, as Candy, was in 2002 for a PAX-TV special.
When Canary departed the soap, he had stated he intended to return to AMC occasionally. Canary returned to All My Children to reprise both of his roles as Adam and Stuart Chandler for several days before its September 23, 2011, finale on ABC. In 2013, he returned to the role of Adam when the show began to produce online episodes.

It was announced in March 2012 that David would replace the ailing ninety-year-old Jack Klugman in a limited run production of Twelve Angry Men in New Brunswick, New Jersey for that month.
He has won five Daytime Emmy Awards as 'Outstanding Lead Actor', and has been nominated an additional eleven times, most recently in 2008 for Best Lead Actor. A baritone, Canary has performed in such musicals as, Man of La Mancha, Sweeny Todd, Kismet, and Carousel, as well as performing in dramatic pieces such as The Seagull (Pittsburgh Public Theater, April 1981), and the one man play Clarence Darrow. Canary's favorite stage performance[citation needed] was Tennessee Williams' Broadway production of Clothes for a Summer Hotel with Geraldine Page.
Personal life[edit]
Canary is married to actress Maureen Maloney, with whom he has a son, Chris, and a daughter, Kate. He is the middle son of Hilary and Lorena Canary. His brothers are actor John Canary, who once had a role on All My Children and writer H. Glenn Canary (1934–2008). The brothers are great-great-nephews of Martha Jane Canary, a.k.a. Calamity Jane.[3]

Posted: September 13, 2013It was a lizard with a shark-like fin. That's what Swedish researchers have discovered about the fearsome mosasaur Prognathodon, which lived in the seas of the Cretaceous Period about 70 million years ago.
The discovery was based on a fossil found in Jordan in 2008. Researcher Johan Lindgren, of Lund University in Sweden, travelled to Jordan in 2011 and discovered that imprints of soft tissue had been preserved around the creature's tail fin, which ultimately led to the conclusion about its shape. The fossil proved to be the first one of its kind that revealed the tail fin contour in its entirety. But unlike a shark fin, the mosasaur's fin faced downward.

About the Author –
Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated that Miguel would embrace their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching, and carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near-death experience changed his life. Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother, and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. In the tradition of the Toltecs, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Don Miguel is a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltecs. He is the author of The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, and The Four Agreements Companion Book

"Just about everything was a mess on him," said Andrea Tasi, a feline-only homeopathic veterinarian in Northern Virginia who was treating the 11-year-old ginger domestic shorthair. "Nothing would get better."
When Max's owner decided to put him on a raw food diet, Tasi was surprised by the results. Until that time, she had viewed these types of diets — which are a blend of raw organ and muscle meats, bones, vegetables and supplements — as "wacko nonsense."

Metalhead Ned's Metal Minute-Wayne Static, Arch Enemy, and More
You may have heard my Metal Minute on air on internet streaming all around the nation, or maybe even on GRD. Well, if you missed it. Here is the recap!
You may have heard my Metal Minute on air on internet streaming all around the nation, or maybe even on GRD. Well, if you missed it. Here is the recap!
There are a lot of great shows coming to the GR area, and one I'm really looking forward to is the Iced Earth show on April 4th! They're going to wreck The Intersection with another one of my favorite bands, Sabaton! And the Uber-gorgeous Floor Jansen is on the bill with her band Revamp, too, so this will be an amazing, not-to-miss show!
Full Metal Jackie brings back the metal on Sunday and will be joined by Jeff Walker of Carcass!
Also music from Ghost, Down, Machinehead, and more...
Check out the 40 songs in WGRD's rotation for the month of November
Need a good metal show? The Stache inside The Intersection has that hookup for you. If you want to hear some brutally awesome metal, be sure to check out this show coming to the front lounge of The Intersection known as The Stache.
The Japanese are a little different in some of the stuff they like. There are some things that are just different from us loony Americans.
Here, kids watch cartoons, in Japan, the adults watch Anime.
Here, metal is angry and screamed by angry-looking dudes who are really pissed off about stuff.
In Japan, their metal can be seriously different. I mean, SERIOUSLY DIFFERENT!
I have been a fan of the humor-core band Psychostick for a few years now, and this video is kind of old, but that doesn't mean it still kicks ass. Of all the things you could write a song about, why not write a song about a Dog...that likes socks, and make it metal as 'eff?
When you think of Brazil and thrash metal, you immediately think of the mighty Sepultura, right? Some of the genre's cornerstones were created by that band. Beneath the Remains is classic; Arise, Chaos A.D. and Roots are all monster thrash albums! Spend a few hours...days...years listening to these amazing albums.
But now, after today, when you think of Brazil and thrash metal, you'll think of Nervosa!
If you missed out on the action of the 2014 GRD Heavyweights at The Intersection, you really missed out.
It was four days of local hard rock and metal bands taking over The Intersection, and all of them were impressive!
However, there can only be one champion.
Cleveland, OH industrial metal group Mushroomhead has finally announced their new album and is set to release in May! Mushroomhead's last album named 'Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children' came out in in 2010.
The Carnival of Chaos has been missing from the metal scene for a good few years. The Carnival of Chaos is one of Michigan's premiere METAL FESTIVALS complete with body suspension, tattooing, piercing, camping, wet t-shirt contest, and most importantly...over 70 metal bands! This year, it all comes back to Moreland Motorcross Park in Stanton for three days!
