Massachusetts has a coordinated statewide Human Service Transportation (HST) system. Select Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) act as Brokers for various areas of the state and arrange trips by subcontracting with qualified transportation providers.
Transportation is provided via two models, with differing procurement approaches:
Demand-Response ("dial-a-ride"): Generally, transportation is authorized by the funding agency and consumers call to schedule their trips as-needed with varying destinations, frequency and times. This model is typically used for medical appointments. Each Broker maintains a list of qualified transportation providers (vendors) and their price lists. Contracted providers will be awarded trips on a daily basis based on lowest price, availability and prior performance.
Procurement Status: Interested transportation vendors may apply to be qualified as a provider anytime throughout the year.Contact the local Broker (the Broker serving consumers in your company's service area) for the HST Provider Application package and specific pricing requirements.Program-Based: Transportation is authorized by the funding agency for a specific destination, frequency and time, usually operating on a daily or regularly scheduled basis. This model is typically used for transportation to rehabilitation or developmental programs; it is similar to a school-bus route.
Procurement Status: All program-based routes are currently being procured for a five year period beginning July 1, 2015 – contact the Broker in your service area for details. Additional routes are also occasionally added or contracts are terminated, and interested transportation vendors should submit a letter of interest to the local Broker (the Broker serving consumers in your company's service area) to be notified of any interim procurements.
This information is provided by Human Service Transportation Office.

Vacation Rental Summary
Six adults plus our four grand children from 6 - 18 enjoyed 3 nights in this fabulous home on Catalina. Excellent accommodations for all, plenty of bathrooms and a nice kitchen and dinner table for meals. Well kept up, clean, outside BBQ with excellent WiFi. Only way to improve it would be offered the use of a golf cart. (The island transportation of note). House is the last one on Clarissa which makes the doughnut run in the morning too slow. (Plus us oldsters need wheels after a big dinner)i. Wonderful place for family or pack of good friends.
We booked this house for five couples to stay in over a long weekend. It was close to the Catalina Golf Course and close enough to the ocean. We all enjoyed long dinners and slow breakfasts. The house got hot, but it was 95 degrees during the day. Very unusually hot weather this year. Thank goodness for the fans, but we could have used more. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms nice. It was a great place for all of us.
Had an enjoyable birthday gathering of friends here. Loved the big dining table that accommodated us all. Place was well-equipped and everything worked well.
A wonderful house in a great area. There were 5 couples in our group and there was plenty of room and we were very comfortable. The house is exceptionally well maintained and beautifully decorated.
The place worked well for all of us as a big group. Nice big open feel. A blind on the kitchen window is needed ... I made one out of paper towels.
Floor plan is perfect for a group of 10...We had a wonderful time & had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Having 4 up to date bathrooms was the best part of the house for 10 people. The kitchen was well stocked wih dishes, pots, pans, etc. We loved the patio & BBQ! Can't wait to return.
My group and I were happy to realize how easy it was to walk from the ferry landing to the house -- short distance and all flat! It was so convenient to the rest of avalon, too! We were even happier when we walked inside -- high ceilings, lots of light, a huge table for communal dinners, a well stocked kitchen, and an outdoor grill stocked with propane. It was comfortable and inviting and not the least bit shabby. We very much enjoyed our stay!

DIY Retro Fan
By: Lauren Tien from Pearls Poppies Pinkies Up
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Turn one of those old white fans into a fabulous DIY Retro Fan in the color of your choice. With this awesome tutorial from Lauren Tien, you'll be able to create a fun accessory for your home that will help add a pop of color, style, and fun to any room in your house. Make sure you have plenty of room to work before starting this project. The more space you have to lay out your supplies, the better.
- Plain white fan
- 2 cans of spray paint
- Various tools to take fan apart
- Dry dusting rag
- Tape
- Plastic shopping bags
Use a dry dusting rag and/or a shop vac to clean the fan. Make sure all dust is removed, or else the paint will not have the right finish.
Disassemble the fan parts. Create an array of bits and pieces. Unscrew every last bit. This way your hardware and plastic parts are separated out, giving you the option to paint what you want how you want it (I left my screws and hardware in their metallic state, forgoing their first considered spray painted fate)
Using electrical tape and a plastic bag, cover the fan motor (to protect it!). Tape and cover the cord. Also be sure to cover any piece that is threaded (the parts that turn in place to keep the fan together. If paint gets on them, it could effect how they screw together in the end).
Lay the pieces out on your drop cloth.
Apply the first coat of spray paint. For a smooth application, hold the can of spray paint equal distance from the piece you are painting and move in a left to right, right to left fashion TIP: Be sure that the coat on the fan blade is not too too heavy. This is the piece that actually needs to be in motion, so the lighter the better.
Allow the coat to dry for a few hours or over night.
Rotate / Flip over the fan pieces and repeat the spray painting process on the opposite sides.
Allow the time to dry and check once more for touch up painting.
Take plastic bags and tape off protected pieces once everything is dry. TIP: To keep your paint cans from getting clogged and dried in the spraying tip in between paint applications, hold your can upside down and press the nozzle. Be sure to hold aiming away from you as paint will spew out. Keep holding down the nozzle until nothing more comes out. This will take care of any clogs and keep your spray paint nice, neat, and ready to go for next time.
Putting the fan back together. If you were the one who took it apart, reassembling the fan shouldn't be too tricky. Simply use the same screw drivers and think of it like a puzzle. And get ready for your newly made over beauty!

Jamey Johnson Releases New Single; Charley Pride Bids On Texas Rangers; Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Lineup
- Jamey Johnson's new single, "Playing The Part," will be released to radio today.
- ASCAP will recognize Alan Jackson with its Founders Award during its country music awards ceremony on Sept. 14. The award is given to "songwriters and composers who have made pioneering contributions to music."
- Alan Jackson wouldn't have minded writing Jamey Johnson's song "In Color."
- Charley Pride is part of an 18-person investment group that placed the highest bid in the auction for the Texas Rangers.
- Jason MacNeil covered the bra-flying finale of Tim McGraw's Southern Voice 2010 Tour for the Toronto Sun:
On the musical side, McGraw was in top form, delivering a concert that lived up to his "we don't bulls—, we play music" philosophy with a stash of hits that puts him alongside Reba McEntire and Garth Brooks. Opening with the slow but steady Real Good Man, the singer often twirled, glad-handed, fist-bumped and signed autographs for fans when not nailing roots-y numbers like Let It Go and Just To See You Smile.
Earlier in the evening, a shirtless McGraw and his band surprised Lady Antebellum when they rushed the stage during the trio's opening set and pretended to work out.
- My Kind of Country: Does a listener's perception of an artist's personality affect their appreciation of that artist's music?
- Blake Shelton hopes to return to making full-length records:
"There's part of me that wants to go back to making a regular full-length album," he said. "By the time I get around to that, who knows what this industry will look like then. I'm coming with another single off this ('Who Are You When I'm Not Looking'), so that will put us well into next year. . . If (CDs) are still around, yeah, I'd like to make another full-length record. It might be my last chance to do that."
- Watch the new video from The McClymonts, a trio of sisters from Australia, for the song "Save Yourself."
- Ralph Emery and Sam Phillips are among the class chosen for this year's induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame.
- American Songwriter, in conjunction with the Zac Brown Band, chose a winner in the contest to fill a performance slot on upcoming Sailing Southern Ground cruise: The Jompson Brothers (MySpace). Not actually brothers, The Jompson Brothers is a rock and roll band consisting of the SteelDrivers' recently-departed vocalist Chris Stapleton, JT Cure, Bard McNamee, and Greg McKee.
- Eddie Dean, co-author of the Dr. Ralph Stanley book Man of Constant Sorrow: My Life and Times, provided a synopsis and review of the forthcoming book by Ralph Berrier Jr., If Trouble Don't Kill Me: A Family's Story of Brotherhood, War, and Bluegrass.
The story of Clayton and Saford Hall is perhaps the ultimate country-music brother saga of all. They never earned the widespread fame of the Monroes or the Louvins. But in their heyday the Hall twins were regional stars in their little neck of the woods in southwest Virginia, until World War II killed their professional music careers and nearly themselves as well.
- Country California: Quotable Country – 08/08/10 Edition
- Chuck Dauphin listed 10 unlikely singers who made the move from the screen to country music, including former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw, Clint Eastwood, and one of my personal favorites (for his song "Ringo"), Bonanza's Lorne Greene.
- The full-lineup for the 10th Anniversary Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival has been announced. (via Twang Nation)

I heard on Imus that Jamey Johnson has recorded a version of "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad". I can't wait for that.
A new single from Jamey? Although I'm glad I get to hear another song from the new album before the release date, what happened to "Macon"?
BTW, a limited-edition, black and white triple LP of "The Guitar Song" will be released.
"Macon" was a simple 'teaser single' for digital stores.
The McClymont sisters for whatever reason have chosen the song off their first full album from 2007 that was also their first Aussie single from the "Chaos And Bright Lights" album as well. This past January they released their second full length "Wrapped Up Good" in Australia. The "Chaos" album was recorded in Nashville and produced by top pop-rock producer Adam Anders, who also helms the "GLEE" albums. Personally "Save Yourself" is not one of my favorite tracks on the "Chaos" album. I much prefer "Favourite Boyfriend Of The Year" which was once negatively reviewed at "Country Universe" and the comments that followed also piled on what I think is a fantastic song. Some people just have no taste in music…
I like the "My Kind of Country Question":
"Does a listener's perception of an artist's personality affect their appreciation of that artist's music?".
My response: personality yes to some degree (particularly if they are arrogant asses like say John Rich), but if we're talking personal political orientation absolutely! If an artist is an outspoken Obamavoter supporter of the democrat party, they go on my blacklist where I won't spend any further money on anything related to their music. (Exceptions for former favorite artists, like Elizabeth Cook, are made on rare occasions, like Elizabeth's upcoming concert in Los Angeles. I've always wanted to see Elizabeth perform live and now I finally get the chance.)
I found the thread to which you are referring, but I think your memory is playing tricks on you. The single was never actually reviewed, there were only seven comments, and nothing resembled "piling on." Just sayin'.
I'd have expected nothing less from you but really? really? Would you feel that way if any other democrat was in office?
As for the M.K.o.C question, I can absolutely keep my personal opinions of somebody separate from their music, unless it seeps into their music.
Rick said, "Some people just have no taste in music."
That's rich coming from you, I can't help but say.
Sunny Sweeney Concert Alert for the "Show Me" state!

Sunny has a crackerjack five piece band she is touring with currently and her sets cover a lot of ground style wise, all of it good. Backing harmony vocals and acoustic rhythm guitar are provided by former Dreamworks label artist JoAnna "Banana" Janet who is Sunny's gal pal this tour. Highly recommended!

Evelyn Lozada is a little surprised that she and ex-BFF Jennifer Williams are no longer speaking.
Evelyn can't really dish about her beef with Jen, but she is admitting that they're not nearly as close as they once were.
"We're currently filming so I can't say but so much, but I think it's out there that we're not speaking. I will confirm that," she told TheYBF.com. "It's stemming from last season, but you'll see."
Last season Evelyn found out that Jen admitted during a radio interview that she wasn't really sure about her friend's romantic relationship with Chad Ochocinco. She questioned how sincere his affections for Evelyn might be and accused him of being more concerned about publicity.
It's not clear what may go on this season on "Basketball Wives" that could widen the rift between Evelyn and Jen. However, it sounds like something else definitely went down and Evelyn feels wronged.
"If you were in my position how would you feel?" she asked.
Fans were rooting for Jen and Evelyn to pull through their differences with their bond in tact, and some thought former friends could really make it.
"I thought so, too!" Evelyn exclaimed. "I honestly thought so too, but you know we actually had a conversation outside of filming."
Evelyn also confirmed that a spin-off starring her and Chad is definitely in the works, but find out how production is coming along when you watch the video below.

Bafana Bafana were without most of their regulars and coach Pitso Mosimane was forced to field a much depleted side which still gave the home team a run for their money. Notably he handed Sweden Player of the Year, May Mahlangu, his first Bafana start and the midfield gem did not disappoint as he showed signs of brilliance.
The Bafana debutant's pace and skill proved to be a handful for the Equatorial Guinea defence who ended up resorting to hacking him down. The match was very physical, so much so that three Bafana players were cautioned in the first half. In a match dogged by dodgy decisions, skipper Morgan Gould was sent off after he protested to the referee following a foul on Mahlangu.
Having began the first half with Bradley Grobler as a lone striker, the going looked tough and it came as no surprise when Mosimane threw two new strikers into the fray, Nontshinga and Chapman in for Grobler and Scott respectively. The pair changed the complexion of the game and increased the game's intensity.
The game's physicality continued and coach Pitso Mosimane who remonstrated following a series of fouls and brawls was sent to the stands by the referee. The 10-man Bafana side still managed to hold on for a goalless stalemate.

(1.) Customer Success Stories

The lesson of the day when it comes to building email lists – DON'T buy them and don't borrow them from social media sites.
You want to build a list from people who actually WANT to be part of it…versus collecting emails and then annoying people and having them opt-out anyways.
A good way to entice people to join your list is to provide them with valuable information in exchange, have a giveaway, or hold a contest. As soon as you give some INCENTIVE, you will see results and soon you will have a quality email list of people who actually care about your business, know about your business, and most importantly, know that they originally joined your list WILLINGLY. Also, think quality over quantity.

Sorsogon solon's pork also used for burial
More News from Juan Escandor Jr.
GUBAT, Sorsogon – A congressman here has included burials in his pork barrel menu.
According to the Department of Budget and Management's (DBM) website, Representative Deogracias Ramos Jr., a member of the ruling Liberal Party (LP), used P6.1 million of public funds for social services in the nine-town second district of Sorsogon.
The projects included burials, food aid, medical aid, dental aid and transportation fare for supposed indigents in Ramos' district.
The DBM said Gubat, Ramos' hometown, got the biggest slice of the pie—P1.5 million.
Ramos, reached for comment, insisted that the fund went directly to the beneficiary local government units and did not pass through his hands.
The other towns that also received money through Ramos' pork for supposed social services are Matnog, Bulusan, Irosin, Bulan, Sta. Magdalena, Juban and Prieto Diaz.
Ramos said his pork went directly to mayors and barangay officials in his district and were spent on constituents' needs, which included burials.
Ramos said that a portion of his pork was spent by mayors to pay for the needs of constituents, like food and transportation. The pork funds had been divided to cover expenses for food, transportation and medical needs, he said.
He said that the P30,000 in burial assistance that was listed as expenses from his pork is also part of allotments made by mayors.
The total amount of pork that the budget department released in January to Ramos reached P35 million.
The LP legislator's pork was also spent on projects for the Philippine General Hospital and East Avenue Medical Center, two medical institutions that are hundreds of kilometers away from Ramos' district, for poor patients and medical equipment.
Ramos' pork was also spent on livelihood projects for farmers implemented by the Department of Agriculture, scholarship programs at the Bicol University campus in Gubat and some infrastructure projects.

text: Corporatises Non-Performing LoansKuala Lumpur: CIMB Group today announced that it had received approval from the Minister of Finance (MoF) for the proposed disposal of part of CIMB Bank's non-performing loans (NPL) to a special purpose company, Southeast Asia Special Asset Management Berhad (SEASAM). CIMB Bank will dispose a portfolio of mostly legacy NPLs comprising approximately 45,000 accounts with gross loan amount of RM8.4 billion and net book value of RM928 million to SEASAM. SEASAM will be wholly-owned by CIMB Group and will become a dedicated entity with a clear focus and emphasis on NPL management and the corresponding resolution processes. "SEASAM lays the foundation for the creation of a regional entity within CIMB Group that will operate, manage and extract value from CIMB Group's NPLs in Malaysia and across the region", said Dato' Sri Nazir Razak, Group Chief Executive, CIMB Group. "The creation of a separate identifiable entity for NPL's would further reflect a clean break from the past and allow stakeholders to easily differentiate between the results of CIMB Group's business transformation and its legacy NPL recovery efforts," he added. CIMB Group has also confirmed that Dato' Zainal Abidin Putih will be Chairman of the Board, while Ahmad Shazli Kamarulzaman has been identified as a candidate for the CEO position. Both parties bring with them vast experience in management of NPLs and distressed assets gained from Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad, the national asset management company set up by the Ministry of Finance in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The disposal is not expected to have any material effect to CIMB Group's earnings; but will see CIMB Bank's gross NPL ratio drop to 2.8% and its net NPL to 1.3%. Loan loss coverage will improve from 91.8% as at 30 September 2009 to 116.1%. There will be no change to CIMB Group's consolidated ratios. CIMB Bank and SEASAM will now sign a sale and purchase agreement and proceed with the asset vesting process. CIMB Bank is expected to deconsolidate these assets in its financial year ending 31 December 2009.

Remember when we told you about Frey, the Exton boutique that opened up a fab second location in Ocean City, New Jersey? (If you don't, you can read all about it here.) Turns out they've got even more cool stuff up their sleeve.
Where I'm Shopping: Frey, Ocean City's Coolest New Shop
Shopping in Ocean City has long paled in comparison to sister Shore towns Stone Harbor (which has Skirt) and Margate (which has Knit Wit). But the main retail stretch of Asbury Avenue, dominated by an inexplicable string of dime-a-dozen beachwear stores called Ta-Dah!, finally gets a shot of much-needed retail therapy with Frey Boutique.
Store Opening News: Ocean City is Getting an Awesome New Women's Boutique
Shore shopping isn't always a sure bet. But amongst the boardwalk shops hawking seashell tchotkes and tacky t-shirts are some gems.
Soon to be among them? Exton's Frey Boutique, which opens a second location in Ocean City tomorrow.

In March, she was appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown to the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training, which establishes training requirements for law enforcement agencies statewide.
Day-to-day operations are not expected to be affected, though Hutchens will probably attend fewer speaking events, she said.
Officials described Hutchens as a hands-on sheriff and said it may be an adjustment for her not to be present at some events but that she will continue to play a role in the decision process.
"The fundamentals remain the same," Trujillo said.
During the news conference, Hutchens said she has a hard time turning over decisions to other people, but she's learned to do that – with her doctors.
"I have all the confidence in this department," she said. "At the end of the six- to eight-month program, I will be back to my usual self."

Family-friendly entertainment is coming to a stage at Inland Octopus starting this month.

The downtown restaurant located in the historic Dacres building has received its permit to add an outdoor seating area for its lounge.
Owner Kim Kelly-Frank has been working with Paul Fischer and Garren Smith at Integrity Metal Fab on a design that represents the strength of the brand and fits the age of the building. The top of the posts will be square and the long steel rods connecting them will look as if they've been wrapped in barbed wire.
Construction of the rails is still in the works. But the approval of the permit will assure that installation can take place as soon as they're finished.

The Fernery: An Interesting and Scenic Place
As you can see from the picture, The Fernery is quite remote. You drive down a gravel/dirt road off the N2 for 6 kilometers. And some of the other vehicles using that road are clearly unencumbered by the potholes, etc. as they are barreling along.
Given the remoteness, it is a good thing that they do a 4 course gourmet dinner each night in the Lodge. If staying there, book the meal each night. There are a couple choices for each course, and the choices were different each night we stayed. They offered some excellent wines with dinner, as well.
Breakfast is available for a fee, but we were always in too much of a rush to get out the door in the morning and on to our adventure, so went with breakfast bars.
One day we had lunch in the "restaurant", which is in the fern business structure (which also houses the office / front desk. It filled us up before the hike, but was nothing impressive.
Now, on to the actual lodging. There is a "lodge", which is where we stayed, and what is shown in the picture. Great deck, views, has a pool and hot tub and a grate room area (where cocktails are served before dinner) with fireplaces. The bathroom in our room was the biggest bathroom I have ever encountered that was not in someone's home - and it was 2 - 3 x the size of most people's bathrooms in their homes. Shower, jacuzzi tub, 2 sinks, and a toiled in a separate little room.
They had a computer, but their internet access is spotty and we did not use it. Service was out for a while when we were there, as I think was the power as well. I'm attributing that to the remoteness of the location.
The beds were comfy, and the standard coffee/tea service was in the room, along with a mini fridge with items for purchase. We had a delicious bottle of Sav Blanc from the fridge one night before our before-dinner drinks :)
We used laundry service, but I'm guessing its not common, as they looked at me kind of strangely when I asked what to do with the items I wanted laundered. This was also partly due to the Lodge not having a "front desk" of sort, so if you need something, you just go get someone in the kitchen :)
There are also private Chalets, which look nice, but were out of our price range.
This would be a great place for a couple. It probably wasn't the best choice for 2 friends who could have benefited from some nightlife :) But it was beautiful.
The Fernery is one of the most unique places I've stayed. Unique in that Lodging of guests is not the primary function of the property. The property is primarily a fern farm. Ferns from The Fernery are shipped all over the world.

Storms River Rest Camp: Log cabin on the rocks ~ great for honeymooning :)
We stayed in one of their log cabins that sleeps 4 people.
There were only two of us, so we were comfy!
It is self catering, nothing fancy, but clean and cosy and has everything you would need.
Towels are white and fluffy, and cutlery is shiney (something I always look at!). There are mugs, plates, dish cloths, glasses, kettle etc. anything you might need.
You have to provide your own food and extras.
This park is very popular and you need to book way in advance!

Backpackers Rainbow Lodge: Cats, Dogs, Bugs, and ADD Host and Hostes
I have to say this place really grossed be out. The kitchen was always dirty and their cats are climbing on the counters and the dogs are always at your feet. Roaches are climbing around in the sink which is probably full of thawing meet for tonight's braii. The owners and the two young assistance are constantly running around doing god knows what. I have never so many adults with attention deficit disorder that extreme. God! Forget about relaxing.
The redeeming features are the satellite TV which was great to watch the finals of Euro 2004. Danny, the host, is really into sports. Otherwise stay at the Tube 'N Axe Stormsriver Backpackers. I didn't stay there so but it's got to be better than this place.
Also to be fair the dorms are nice and clean with plenty of blankets. Stay away from that kitchen though.

Storms River Mouth Restcamp: Ocean front cottages!
Just meters from where the surf breaks on the rocks this is another chapter in the top locations we have come across on this trip. We could chose from different kinds of cabins. From our point of view, we found the "forest cottage" the best value, but there are also "oceanettes", family cottages and even honeymoon cottages...
The cabins come fully equiped, with limited cooking facilities but great beds and a cosy verandah with a barbecue. It is essential to book in season!

The first in her family to go to college, Jaye Fenderson wanted to help others break through that barrier. But instead of churning out just another research paper about the benefits of a college education, Fenderson decided that a documentary would be a good medium to get the message across.
The result is "First Generation," a film she and her husband, Adam Fenderson, introduced last week in Indianapolis with the help of Teresa Lubbers, the state's higher education commissioner. Lubbers hosted the film at Ivy Tech, as part of her attempt to boost Indiana's college graduation rate.

Mandell said the full moon myth isn't the only superstition pervading hospitals — he found that 78 percent of the nurses in his study believed that people with red hair were more prone to bleeding.
"Interestingly, when we asked if they considered themselves to be superstitious, only 23 percent said yes, showing that these tales have become such an ingrained part of the culture they take it as fact and common knowledge. As long as it doesn't get in the way of medical care, if it's what we need to get through the unpredictability of the job, then so be it. There's something comforting about believing in these things, even if you know that you are kidding yourself."
Rotton and others have spent years taking critical looks at other studies that claim to link the full moon to human affairs.
In 1985, Rotton and Canadian psychologist Ivan Kelly did a widely cited and extensive meta-analysis of 37 lunar effect studies and found that lunar cycles account for less than 1 percent of the variance in human activities. In 1992, according to the Canadian Medical Association Journal, two scientists reviewed 12 prominent studies conducted over 20 years that compared the number of crisis calls to the phases of the moon, and found that there was no correlation between the full moon and the frequency of calls reporting disturbing behavior.
The demystification of full moon myths has been a long time coming.
In the 16th century, the Swiss physician, astrologer and occultist Paracelsus wrote that "mania has the following symptoms: frantic behavior, unreasonableness, constant restlessness and mischievousness.
"Some patients suffer from it depending on the phases of the moon," according to University of Toronto psychiatry professors Alina Iosif and Bruce Ballon. In the 18th century, English legal philosopher Lord Blackstone defined the condition of lunacy as "one who hath lucid intervals, sometimes enjoying his senses and sometimes not … frequently depending upon the changes of the moon."
But there may be a simpler explanation for moon-induced behavior: moonlight. In an article on the persistence of beliefs in the lunar effect, Ballon and Iosif explain that the historic persistence of the belief has followed a relatively logical if unscientific path into the present day.
"The association between lunar phases and human behavior occupies us less today than in the past," they write. "One obvious explanation is that, before the advent of gas lighting at the beginning of the 19th century, the light of the moon permitted outdoor activities that were otherwise impossible. Full moon nights are 12 times brighter [under a clear sky] than at first or last quarter, and therefore it is likely that people stayed up later and slept less than the rest of the time. Even partial sleep deprivation can cause mania, and it is plausible that sleep disturbance during a full moon may function as positive feedback once a manic episode has begun in a predisposed person."
"Perhaps this lies at the origin of the association between madness and the full moon."

Mount Pinatubo eruption photos launched at San Francisco Main Library
More News from Esther Misa Chavez
More News from INQUIRER.net
SAN FRANCISCO – Dramatic photos of the eruption of Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991 are now on display at the San Francisco Main Library until September 6, 2012.
The exhibit is a compilation of the works of Filipino photojournalists who braved and survived the deadly eruption that saw daylight turn into night, villages swallowed by swiftly flowing lahar, 800 lives lost, half a billion dollars worth of property destroyed, tribal communities displaced, and left thousands homeless.
Highlights of the exhibit are award-winning photographs of Filipino photojournalists Albert Garcia and Heraldo Cabrido. Garcia, photo editor of Manila Bulletin, won the grand prize in the prestigious World Press Photo Contest, a first for a Filipino photojournalist, for his compelling shots of Mt. Pinatubo's fury. It was also chosen as one of Time Magazine's "Greatest Images of the 20th Century." National Geographic Magazine included it as one of "Best 100 Pictures of the 20th century". To give a better perspective on the impact of Garcia's spectacular picture, the 20th Century included two world wars, the moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the eruption of Mount Novarupta, the largest eruption of the 20th Century.
Included in the exhibit are three photos of the eruption, aftermath scene and devastation by Philippine Daily Inquirer Photography Consultant, Heraldo Cabrido, which won the grand prize and best in News Photography in the local Catholic Mass Media Awards.
The photo exhibit, commemorating the 21 years since Mount Pinatubo's eruption also carries the works of photojournalists Nick Sagmit, Derek Soriano, Ted Aljibe, Chito Vecina, Edwin Tuyay, Edwin Bacasmas, Angie de Silva, Ernie Sarmiento, Rem Zamora, Val Handumon and Joe Galvez.
An "Artists' Talk" is scheduled for August 9, 2012 at Main Library's Latino/Hispanic Room from 6 to 8 in the evening.

Biological, Genetic, and Lifestyle Risk Factors for Developing Colorectal Adenomas or Polyps in Participants Undergoing Colonoscopy
Basic Trial Information
|Protocol IDs
|No phase specified
|Natural history/Epidemiology, Screening, Tissue collection/Repository
|40 to 75
|NCI, Other
Trial Description
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and other body fluids to test in the laboratory and gathering information about health and lifestyle from participants may help doctors learn more about cancer risk factors.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at biological, genetic, and lifestyle risk factors for developing colorectal adenomas or polyps in participants undergoing colonoscopy.
Further Study Information
- To recruit 7,000 participants who are planning to undergo colonoscopy.
- To collect questionnaires and medical records from these participants.
- To collect biological samples, including urine, blood, buccal cells and/or saliva, rectal tissue, and colorectal polyps from these participants.
- To evaluate risk factors and other differences between participants found to have polyps and those who do not have polyps.
OUTLINE: Participants undergo screening colonoscopy and removal of any polyps.
Within 1 month of colonoscopy, participants undergo a 30-minute telephone interview and/or complete a mail survey to provide information on lifestyle and medical history that may be related to colorectal polyp risk. Participants who undergo removal of polyps during their colonoscopy also complete a 20-minute survey at their 3-year follow-up colonoscopy. Participants' medical records may also be reviewed.
Blood samples are collected at the time of colonoscopy. Some participants may also provide blood samples 1-2 weeks prior to colonoscopy. Tissue from the bisected portions of colorectal polyps > 5 mm in size that are removed during colonoscopy is also obtained. Some participants may also undergo normal colorectal tissue sample and saliva sample collection at the time of colonoscopy and urine sample collection 2 days prior to, during, and/or 8 weeks after colonoscopy.
Tissue samples may be stored for future genetic studies to evaluate genetic factors that may cause or be related to colon polyps or colorectal cancer.
Eligibility Criteria
- Scheduled to undergo colonoscopy at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center or the Tennessee Valley Veterans Administration Medical Center
- No prior genetic colorectal cancer syndromes or colorectal adenoma
- Must have a permanent residence and a telephone number
- Able to speak and understand English
- No prior inflammatory bowel disease
- No prior cancer other than nonmelanoma skin cancer
- Not a current resident in a correctional facility
- No other rare exclusion that would prevent the collection of study data (e.g., extensive memory loss for past exposures), impair ability to provide informed consent, or make the participant an atypical colonoscopy patient (e.g., colonoscopy for organ transplant evaluation)
- No prior extensive knowledge or contact with the investigation/protocol/hypotheses (the study collaborator or reviewer)
- No prior partial or complete colon resection
- No concurrent participation in a clinical trial involving the prevention of colon polyps
