WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — The "temporary" sign at Westborough's rotary seems to have become permanent, said Selectmen George Barrette, and he said he would like to discuss it's removal.
"I think we need a clearer policy on it," Barrette said.
The sign is presently being used to display community messages, including warnings, local events and welcoming troops home.
After commenting on how the sign looks aesthetically, Board Chair Leigh Emery also questioned the safety of drivers in the rotary attempting to read the sign.
The sign was purchased in 2012 through a U.S. Homeland Security Department grant, said Selectman Tim Dodd. A suggestion was made to look for another grant to buy a permanent sign that could be placed farther down East Main Street near the Westborough Senior Center.
The new location, along with how the town goes about choosing messages to display, were both discussed.
"We definitely need to find a more permanent policy," Dodd said.
The topic will be examined further by Barrette, and a proposal for the future of the sign will be discussed at a later meeting of the Board of Selectmen.

LETTER: Should we worry about our money?
To the Editor:
What is all the fuss about the U.S. debt limit? To answer this question, visit www.usdebtclock.org and see how much every American owes. On Dec. 13, 2013, the clock showed in real time the U.S. debt at $17 trillion, with debt per taxpayer at $149,951 and total debt around $60 trillion. My grandson, a young teenager, commented, "Mimi, I didn't know numbers could go that high."
U.S. Treasury revenue covers the essentials — interest on debt, military defense, Social Security, Medicare etc. Why does the government need more money from us? Should we worry about this? After all, in June, President Obama's working/ family vacation to Africa reportedly cost $100 million.
Our government awarded a limited bid contract for what now exceeds $319 million to Canadian firm CGI Federal to implement the healthcare.gov website. Now, millions more are being given to community organizers to help us navigate mandated Obamacare health insurance to replace the plans and doctors we liked.
Again, I ask, should we worry about our money? Will the Ryan-Murray bill solve the problem or make it worse?

Do you Want to Become More Capable? Or, Your Team? – Learn to Conduct Your Own After Action Review(s)
Imagine you had enough money to hire a one-on-one companion, a coach, for every employee. What would happen?
First, every employee would be noticeably more productive. Second, every employee would stretch to become better. You would have someone saying, all the time, to each and every employee, "you did this well, and this is what to work on next." And, yes, there would need to be coaches to watch the coaches work – maybe on video – so that they could help the coaches get better. You know, "this is how you coached well, and this is what you need to work on to coach more effectively."
Well, rather obviously, we do not have the resources to make this happen. So, we have large classrooms with only one teacher, large groups of employees with only one supervisor… the list goes on.
But, here's the thing. If left to themselves, many employees simply repeat past mistakes, and do not improve, and get better… They are not reminded. They are not challenged. No one "gets in their face."
This is a problem.
So, recently, I presented my synopsis of Paul Tough's terrific book How Children Succeed to a leadership team of a thriving organization – a team that takes learning seriously. ("Seriously" is the only way we should ever take learning). In it is the story of a remarkable middle school chess coach, Elizabeth Spiegel. The book describes how she helps each player develop a "game plan," for each game, and then she debriefs each tournament game in meticulous fashion. Her players are required to keep a log of each move made in the game — both moves they made, and moves made by their opponents. They also are required to note how long between each move – how much time they took to decide what move to make. And then, she "replays" the games with them. She invests a lot of one-on-one, face-to-face time.
She is tough, demanding, and "gets in their face." Paul Tough's description: "she does not hug."
I stated, in summary form, that we need to learn, for every important task or endeavor, to pre-brief and then debrief.
So, after my synopsis, one of the participants in my session who served in the military said (paraphrasing): "That is why the military conducts After Action Reviews – AARs — after each action." The purpose is clear: to actually learn, with meticulous attention-to-detail, what was done well, and what needs to be done differently, better, the next time. It is pretty easy to see why it is crucial that the military conducts such reviews. Lives may be at stake.
It was a great comment. Not only did I agree, but I came home and started reading up on the AAR process. Imagine if it were done for every employee, at the end of every "action" (say, after each customer interaction, after each report is finished, after each meeting is conducted…). In what I read, there is a clear four step-process followed in every AAR. Here's the process (from the Wikipedia article):
To apply this tool ask yourself and the team
– What was planned?
– What actually occurred? (facts not judgments)
– What went well and why?
– What can be improved and how?
Now, you already know the bad news. No company or organization can actually afford to do this, for every individual, or even every small group of workers, every half day at work or so, can they? (Although, I suspect even a short "huddle" conducted twice a day in small groups, focusing on these four questions, could have amazing results).
So, the challenge for nearly all of us is to build a work habit of conducting, with incredible regularity, our own After Action Reviews. To regularly and ruthlessly ask these four questions:
• What did I plan to do? — (so – you've got to learn to plan well)
• What did I actually do? – (so, you've got to learn to execute well).
• What went well, and why? — (so, was this a good plan? — and then, assuming I carried out my plan…).
• What can be improved, and how? – (so, what do I need to correct, tweak, change, add?)
So, if you supervise others, this is a practice to follow. And, if you only supervise yourself, this is still a practice to follow.
I think we might be a whole lot more productive, and grow and develop a great deal more in our own capabilities, if we did this on a regular basis. Every one of us. All of us. Don't you think?
Here are a couple of images to help you think about AARs
And click here for a useful/helpful slide show I found on-line on How to Conduct an After Action Review.

I love the book, the AAR concept and that you thought to send it to me.
We conducted AARs called "hot washes" in parts of the Navy, and we did it monthly after every BIT(business improvement team) meeting of Ten Navy Admirals over the past two years. The diagrams are great; I will try to save them. AND I did pick up and/or Remember a few fine points on HOW!. Thank you so much. Great thoughts for a rainy Saturday morning!

GOP pushing pay rule changeBy SAM HANANEL
THE Associated Press | May 07,2013WASHINGTON It seems like a simple proposition: give employees who work more than 40 hours a week the option of taking paid time off instead of overtime pay.
The choice already exists in the public sector. Federal and state workers can save earned time off and use it weeks or even months later to attend a parent-teacher conference, care for an elderly parent or deal with home repairs.
Republicans in Congress are pushing legislation that would extend that option to the private sector. They say that would bring more flexibility to the workplace and help workers better balance family and career.
The push is part of a broader Republican agenda undertaken by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to expand the partys political appeal to working families. The House is expected to vote on the measure this week, but the Democratic-controlled Senate isnt likely to take it up.
For some people, time is more valuable than the cash that would be accrued in overtime, said Rep. Martha Roby, R-Ala., the bills chief sponsor. Why should public-sector employees be given a benefit and the private sector be left out?
But the idea Republicans promote as pro-worker is vigorously opposed by worker advocacy groups, labor unions and most Democrats.
These opponents claim its really a backdoor way for businesses to skimp on overtime pay.
Judith Lichtman, senior adviser to the National Partnership for Women and Families, contends the measure would open the door for employers to pressure workers into taking compensatory time off instead of overtime pay.
The program was created in the public sector in 1985 to save federal, state and local governments money, not to give workers greater flexibility, Lichtman said. Many workers in federal and state government are unionized or have civil service protections that give them more leverage in dealing with supervisors, she added. Those safeguards dont always exist in the private sector, where only about 6.6 percent of employees are union members.
Phil Jones, 29, an emergency medical technician in Santa Clara, Calif., said hes wary of how the measure would be enforced.
Any time theres a law that will keep extra money in an employers bank account, they will try to push employees to make that choice, said Jones, who regularly earns overtime pay. I know how we get taken advantage of and I think this bill will just let employers take even more advantage of us.
But at a hearing on the bill last month, Karen DeLoach, a bookkeeper at a Montgomery, Ala., accounting firm, said she liked the idea of swapping overtime pay for comp time so she could travel with her church on its annual mission trip to Nicaragua.
I would greatly appreciate the option at work to choose between being compensated in dollars or days, she said.
The GOP plan is an effort to change the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which requires covered employees to receive time-and-a-half pay for every hour over 40 within a work week. The proposal would allow workers to bank up to 160 hours, or four weeks, of comp time per year that could be used to take time off for any reason.
The bill would let an employee decide to cash out comp time at any time, and forbids employers from coercing workers to take comp time instead of cash.
Republicans and business groups have tried to pass the plan in some form since the 1990s.
Democrats say the bill provides no guarantee that workers would be able to take the time off when they want. The bill gives employers discretion over whether to grant a specific request to use comp time. Opponents also complain that banking leave time essentially gives employers an interest-free loan from workers.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks.

Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior
What Did Forest Whitaker Do Before Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior?
Well, my friend, the list is quite long! Before Forest Whitaker joined the cast of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, he originally set out for college with the intent of becoming a football player. However, his direction soon changed as he switched to music, and then drama, finally graduating from USC in 1982.
Forest's football roots returned in his first acting job of note, as he played the football player Charles Jefferson in the 1982 teen classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He made numerous guest appearances on classic 1980s television shows including Cagney & Lacey, Trapper John, MD, Hill Street Blues, The Fall Guy, and Diff'rent Strokes. Just four years later, we would see Forest again in The Color of Moneyand Platoon and the following year in Good Morning, Vietnam and Bird. The 1990s brought more critically acclaimed roles for Forest, including Jody in The Crying Game and Ghost Dog in Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. Forest continued to take on a variety of other hit and miss projects, including the 2000 production of Battlefield Earth, which he called one of the "worst films ever made."
In 2006, Forest took on the role of Idi Amin in the film The Last King of Scotland. This performance earned him the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, making him the fourth African-American actor in history to win this prestigious award. In addition, this role earned him several other awards including a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a BAFTA Award.
As he worked on projects for the big screen, Forest also landed several television roles, making appearances on numerous popular TV series including The Twilight Zone, The Shield, ER, American Dad!, and Criminal Minds. Not one to sit idle, Forest has also appeared behind the camera, directing TV movies Strapped for HBO and Black Jaq and feature films Waiting to Exhale, Hope Floats, and First Daughter.
Indeed Forest Whitaker has enjoyed a diverse and plentiful career in film and television so far, and his latest run as Sam Cooper on Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior continues to give fans much more of the quality work we've come to expect from Forest week after week!

This is not exactly a startling revelation, but noteworthy nonetheless. Expect the rumor mill to start spinning into overdrive as WWDC gets closer.
The really interesting question is not so much the timing but what the new version will add to the mix: LTE? NFC? A thinner case? A faster processor? Anti-gravity levitation? X-ray vision? Built-in Taser? A rocket-propelled grenade launcher? Just askin'

Mooted iPhone 5 to follow iPad 2 down dual-core route
Following the release of iOS 4.3 a number of eagle-eyed developers have spotted a section of code that appears to confirm the mooted iPhone 5 will stock the same ARM A5 dual-core processor as the iPad 2.
Mimicking in the footsteps of the recently announced second-generation iPad, the iPhone 5 is expected to be unveiled in June or July thinner, lighter and faster than its predecessor, with the A5 dual-core processor now a widely-expected inclusion.
Having snapped and posted the apparently revealing section of code, iOS developer Filippo Bigarella went on to describe how the iPad 2's A5 chip is referred to as item N94AP, a code reference that also pops up in relation to future iPhone handsets compatibility.
This latest iPhone 5 dual-core processor leak follows recent reports and speculation making the seemingly small leap to suggest the next-gen iPhone will sport the same processing power as the upcoming iPad 2, a specification that would see it challenging the current fleet of high-end smartphones. Other iPhone rumours have recently suggested the imminent handset release will see the device adopt a new metallic back with the antenna built into the rear-mounted Apple logo.
Will the iPhone 5 come equipped with an A5 dual-core processor? Let us know what you think via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

WVU to Host Mountain Strong Volleyball 101
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University volleyball team and coaching staff will be offering a free informational session at 5:30 p.m., on Friday, Aug. 23, at the WVU Coliseum.
The coaches, staff and squad will host Mountain Strong Volleyball 101 – a program designed to give fans the opportunity to get an up-close look into WVU Volleyball.
"We are looking forward to hosting our first Mountain Strong Volleyball 101 this year," says West Virginia coach Jill Kramer. "The players are excited to spend some time with our fans and give them a more intimate look at the way we train and scout, and let the fans interact and get on the court with the team."
Special guest NCAA Official Lori Stahara will be at the event to inform fans of recent rules changes.
"We are lucky enough to have added Lori Stahara to the mix, so that she can explain the rules of the game since they are always being tweaked," says Kramer.
Assistant coach Kevin Carroll will conduct a mock scouting and game planning session and Kramer will be teaching the X's and O's of volleyball.
Members of the team will provide an interactive up-close skills session and attendees will be able to participate in team building activities with the Mountaineers, as well as receive an autographed poster by the players and staff.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held on the Coliseum court. Prior registration is not necessary. In addition to an inside perspective of the Mountaineers, fans will get an opportunity to win both West Virginia volleyball apparel and tickets to upcoming matches.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C — City street crews have been busy clearing storm drains since Monday as they get ready for thunderstorms and a chance for severe weather which may cause flooding.
"You can see puddles that form in the garage area," said Sara Rucker, who lives on Westover Avenue where water backs up along the curb outside her home.
"Water in the garage area, it sometimes seeps into the basement area," she said.
Despite nearly a half dozen drains on her street, every time it rains water gets about ankle high.
She's bracing herself for the two inches of rain expected to come down over the next two days.
"There could be some flash flooding," said Ryan Newcomb, assistant director of Winston Salem's Department of Transportation.
Newcomb says street crews are trying to prevent that flooding, clearing dozens of clogged storm drains before thunderstorms and possible severe weather rolls in Tuesday night.
"They know the urgency of it and are trying to get through as much of it as they can," Newcomb said.
For the past few months, the city has been struggling with drainage issues caused by clogged inlets and old pipes, especially during severe weather.
"If you get a lot of rain in a short amount of time, even the best of system won't be able to handle it," Newcomb said.
Along with two to three crews in the field, extra workers will also be on standby.

Quentin Kenihan
Motivational, Hosts/MC's, Media
Quentin Kenihan was born with a serious bone disease. Thoughout his life he has broken 665 bones. Made famous by Mike Willesee, Quentin became a household name to the nation and known as the little Aussie battler. One of his major goals is to be able to inspire others so they can follow their dreams and reach the highest level of success.
Although he is disabled you'd hardly know it judging by all the work he does. In the past two years Quentin has produced seven projects including two television specials for Network Ten. He has done short films, commercials and corporate video's and is soon hoping to take the big step to feature films.
He has been an inspiration to thousands of people for his unique personality and his ability to overcome adversity against all the odds. One of his major goals is to be able to inspire others so they can follow their dreams and reach the highest level of success. If his past is anything to go by then Quentin is sure to achieve his goal and many more.
"Quentin checked out the Dinner venue with me, and after freshening up, made his way back to welcome the delegates during pre-dinner drinks. This is one area that I was most impressed with, as throughout his short stay, Quentin endeavored to meet every delegate and have a chat. At the dinner, he visited every table, some more than once. I don't think many guest speakers would have gone to this trouble with genuine interest and enthusiasm as Quentin provided. It was good to have 2 segments as Guest speaker, it balanced the dinner well, and people were not shy at asking questions. A number of wine gifts were distributed to those participants. Quentin's speech went down well, as did his impromptu answers. Toward midnight - Quentin and I had a go at singing 'Unchained Melody' to remaining diners. How he wasn't snatched up by Australian Idol - I don't know! The following morning after breakfast, Quentin visited the Conference area during morning tea and once again met with delegates and won more hearts. Thank you for arranging this special visit. Quentin is a wonderful gentleman with so many natural qualities."

- To print, you can either choose to print one business card or a whole sheet.
- To print a single business card, go back to the Labels dialog box (in the Tools menu). Under Print, click on Single Label. Then you can type the row and column number for the print location of the card. Click Print.

Why Should I Apply For Financial Aid
The cost of financing a college education is steadily rising. Many parents and students are finding it increasingly difficult to pay for college without some financial assistance. We attempt to make limited funds available in a fair and equitable manner. The distribution of these funds is regulated by federal and state laws and we cannot determine your eligibility for financial aid unless you complete the entire application process.
When are applications reviewed?
We evaluate financial aid applications in batches based on the date the file was completed (all required items received in our office). Although we continuously review and award applications throughout the year, you need to make sure your application is completed by the deadline dates listed on the front cover to ensure notification of your financial aid eligibility before tuition is due. Applications completed after the deadline will be reviewed in the on-going process but CANNOT be guaranteed notification for tuition payment. Students wanting to enroll for that quarter must plan to pay their tuition to guarantee their enrollment. If they are determined later to be eligible, they will receive retroactive funds for that respective quarter. (Retroactive funding does not mean reimbursement of what you paid out of pocket. It may be more or less, depending on student eligibility and funds availability).
Application Deadlines
We evaluate financial aid applications in the awarding cycles listed below. When completing the application process by the awarding cycle date, you are assured notification of your financial aid eligibility in time for tuition payment. This is our commitment to you for completing the process by the specified date. Any applications completed after that quarter's awarding cycle date will be reviewed in the next cycle. Applications processed by the Federal Processor by our deadline date that have completed all other application requirements will be considered to have met the deadline.
** Priority Deadline for 14-15 is to have a completed file no later than March 19, 2015
- If you are applying for Summer Quarter, 2015 the deadline for your file to be completed is March 19, 2015
- If you are applying for Fall Quarter, 2015 the deadline for your file to be completed is June 18, 2015.
- If you are applying for Winter Quarter, 2016 the deadline for your file to be completed is October 22, 2015.
- If you are applying for Spring Quarter, 2016 the deadline for your file to be completed is Jan. 28, 2016.

Student Responsibilities For Financial Aid Recipients
If you are awarded financial aid, you have certain responsibilities to maintain eligibility. You will be receiving detailed information with your award packet. These are some key items that you need to be aware of.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS – Students are required to meet satisfactory academic progress standards. Students who complete all credits with a quarterly and cumulative 2.0 GPA are considered to be making satisfactory progress. Students are also subject to completion ratios. You will receive detailed information with your award packet and also on our web page. See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL – Students who have commenced attendance and are considering a complete withdrawal, are advised to talk to Student Financial Services. Completely withdrawing after receiving financial aid funds may put you in a repayment status. Students who owe a repayment are not allowed to enroll and in some cases cannot receive financial aid at any other institution until the repayment is resolved. See our office for the Return of Title IV funds policy.
TIMEFRAME – Generally, students are funded for the number of credits needed to complete an approved program of study. Students who have attended other colleges will be required to have a transcript evaluation done by Enrollment
Services, after which a timeframe will be calculated. Students completing prerequisite courses should consult with our office prior to requesting a transcript evaluation. Students are allowed up to 45 credits of remedial course work and two programs of study.
STUDY ABROAD – If the college is offering a program abroad that applies to your eligible program of study, financial aid may be available to you. Contact our office for more information.
OUTSIDE FUNDING – Financial aid students are required to notify our office of any outside assistance being received for education expenses. This includes: scholarships, DVR, L&I, Employment Security, and any other educational
benefits. Failure to report this information could result in an over award and a student could be required to repay the financial aid received.
Balance Check Process:
All financial aid checks are being mailed directly to students. Balance checks are mailed the last business day prior to the start of each quarter. Please note that by endorsing/cashing/depositing this check, you are certifying that:
- You are currently enrolled in the appropriate number of credits based on your financial aid award.
- If awarded full-time…12 or more credits If awarded ½-time…6-8 credits
- If awarded ¾-time…9-11 credits If awarded less than half-time….1-5 credits
- You are attending, or will attend, all of your classes.
- Your tuition has been paid in full.
- If at the end of the quarter your grades/your instructors do not confirm that the credits for the classes you attended meet the minimum requirements for the aid you received, you will repay some or all of the financial aid funds you received, as determined by the Financial Aid Office. You may also be suspended for future quarters of aid.
- If you withdraw from a class you are REQUIRED to submit proof of attendance using the Attendance Verification Form prior to withdrawing.
Dropping or withdrawing from classes:
Students receiving financial aid who are withdrawing from a class are required to submit proof of attendance prior to being allowed to withdraw. Please take the Attendance Verification Form to your instructor to document the last date that you attended that specific class and submit it to our office when you are having us sign off on your withdrawal form. Additionally, if you will not be completing a class but are too late to withdraw, you are advised submit this completed form to our office. The longer the period of time that we can verify that you have attended a class, the smaller the potential repayment you will owe.
Additional Information
UPDATING FINANCIAL AID – All students are responsible for updating address, phone number, and other changes with our office. It is imperative that we have accurate information to contact you. Please note, you will need to update Enrollment Services and FAFSA separately.

School Code
Our school code for the FASFSA is 005372
Your enrollment level is determined as of 8:00 am the first day of the quarter. See the specific dates below. This is the enrollment level that is used to calculate your financial aid eligibility. It will determine if you are a full time student (12 or more credits), a three quarter time student (9 – 11 credits), a half time student (6 – 8 credits) or a less than half time student (1-5 credits). Students' aid is adjusted according to their enrollment level at that time. Students who adjust their enrollment after that time will not have their aid adjusted with the exception of students who fail to commence attendance in their classes. This means that enrollment changes after 8:00 am on the following dates for each quarter will not cause a recalculation in students aid:

Body of Thomas Patrick Hill finally recovered from South Carolina river
By Pat Andrews
posted Jul 9, 2013 - 4:04:32pm
In June, The Beacon reported the story of Thomas Patrick Hill, who hailed originally from the Pierson area and was a graduate of T. DeWitt Taylor High School in Pierson. He was the son of the late coach Tom Hill, who was also a principal at the school.
Hill lived in Tampa.
Last month, he was on a corporate retreat that included a rafting tour on the Chattooga River in Oconee County, S.C., with other members of the Sherwin-Williams Co. in Tampa, where he was a manager and had worked for 27 years. He fell overboard in the "Sock 'Em Dog" rapids June 19.
Three other rafters went in the water in an effort to save Hill, but they were unable to find him, his sister Nancy told The Beacon.
Rescue and recovery crews spent days trying to locate and pull his body from the river. They were up against dangerous conditions and bad weather.
Searchers spotted Hill's body at least twice, caught on rocks or trees, but were unable to reach it because of foul weather and high, rough river waters.
Finally, on Friday, July 5, a team was able to pull Hill's body from the water, South Carolina news sources reported.
"We believe that high flows on the Chattooga Wild and Scenic river freed Mr. Hill's body so that he could begin his journey home to his family," Forest Service spokeswoman Michelle Burnett said. "Mr. Hill's family has been foremost in our minds, and our hearts go out to Mr. Hill's wife and children. We hope that our efforts will finally bring some closure to the Hill family."

With the $1.5 million Whitney and the $1.25 million Travers serving as its glittering pillars, the 146th summer meet at Saratoga will open on Friday for a 40-day celebration of racing that once again will bring together the top horses, best jockeys and finest trainers in the nation.
Now the richest race on Saratoga's $17.45 million stakes schedule, the 1 1/8-mile Whitney on August 2 looks to attract the top older horses in the country, among them 2013 Belmont Stakes star Palace Malice, recent winner of the Metropolitan Handicap; 2013's top three-year-old, Will Take Charge, victorious in last year's Travers. Also on Whitney Day will be the $350,000 Test, the $350,000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap for sprinters, and two turf races: the $100,000 De La Rose for fillies and mares and the $100,000 Lure.
The 1 1/4-mile Travers for three-year-olds on August 2, is the next major target for Belmont winner Tonalist. Joining the "Mid-Summer Derby" on the card will be the $500,000 King's Bishop along with the $500,000 Ballerina for filly and mare sprinters and the $250,000 Ballston Spa for turf fillies and mares.
On Travers Eve, August 22, Ogden Phipps winner Close Hatches and runner-up Princess of Sylmar could renew their rivalry in the $500,000 Personal Ensign. Rounding out the weekend on August 24 is the first Saratoga Showcase Day, featuring six stakes restricted to New York-breds.
Saratoga also will be the summer home of two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan, who could make it a three-peat in the $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap on August 9 or await the $250,000 Bernard Baruch Handicap on August 30.
"Saratoga is the gem of New York racing and American racing," said Martin Panza, NYRA's Senior Vice President of Racing Operations. "The rich stakes schedule, abundance of turf racing and the two-year-old races all combine to make Saratoga an unparalleled afternoon for both the experienced handicapper and the casual fan. Each racing day at Saratoga we work on getting people out to the track by enhancing our product and taking care of our guests by making it a good experience."
The leading trainers on the New York Racing Association (NYRA) circuit will be competing for the H. Allen Jerkens training title, won for the 10th time last year by Eclipse Award winner Todd Pletcher, whose always-powerful two-year-old contingent is already revving up for the meet. Chad Brown, Linda Rice, Kiaran McLaughlin and David Jacobson will be among his challengers, along with Belmont Stakes-winning trainer Christophe Clement. As well, Hall of Famers Shug McGaughey, D. Wayne Lukas, Jonathan Sheppard, and Bill Mott will have a significant presence at the Spa, although the tradition of Mott winning a race on his birthday will be on hiatus this year as July 29 falls on a dark Tuesday.
Last year, Javier Castellano topped the jockey standings at Saratoga and took the Angel Cordero Jr. riding title for the first time en route to his first Eclipse Award. Expected to provide serious competition are brothers Jose and Irad Ortiz Jr. and Joel Rosario, as well as Hall of Famer John Velazquez, who last year broke Jerry Bailey's record and became the all-time winningest jockey at the Spa.
Friday's opening day feature, which goes as the third race due to attracting only a field of five, is the Grade 3, $150,000 Schuylerville for juvenile fillies over six furlongs.
The probable heavy favorite is Fashion Alert, who will seek to give trainer Todd Pletcher a fifth win in the race. The daughter of Old Fashioned kicked clear in the stretch of her debut, the $100,000 Astoria at Belmont Park on June 14, to win by 4 3/4 lengths under Velazquez.
"She's special," said owner George Bolton. "Obviously, Todd thought enough of her to start her off in a stakes. I hadn't seen her since March, and she'd grown up since then. From the way she gallops out and the (broodmare sire) Tiznow side, we're hoping distance won't be an issue for her this year."
Another sharp debut winner in the field is Tulira's Star, who won at first asking by 3 1/2 lengths over the Polytrack at Arlington on June 8 for breeder Curtis Green and trainer Jim DiVito. She has since been acquired by Team Valor International and is now trained by Rick Mettee.
Take Charge Brandi, a debut winner at Churchill Downs for six-time Schuylerville winner D. Wayne Lukas; New York-bred maiden winner Evrybdymstgetstonz; and maiden claiming scorer Mast Cove complete the lineup.
The supporting feature is the $100,000 Sir Cat, a one-mile inner turf test for three-year-olds that have never won a graded stakes on turf.
Among the likely favorites are Grade 2-placed multiple stakes winner Storming Inti, third in the Penn Mile last out; Cabo, hero of the $100,000 Manila at Belmont last time; and Tourist, an impressive wire-to-wire allowance winner going a mile at Belmont for Bill Mott.
Ring Weekend, the Tampa Bay Derby winner, was pulled up in his most recent start in the Pegasus at Monmouth Park, but was second to eventual American Derby winner Divine Oath in a turf allowance at Gulfstream last winter.
Pablo Del Monte, third in the Blue Grass two back, was entered for the main track only. He is one of six mounts, all trained by Wesley Ward, European superstar jockey Frankie Dettori has been named to ride on the opening day card.

I'd just like everyone to know that you shouldnt be dissing or saying negative things about the Nuvaring, considering it will react different to everyones bodies differently. The only problem I had was burning during intercourse. Just saying, everyone was different, so stop saying it doesnt work when it does. You then make people feel paranoid like their pregnant if you use it. If it didnt work, your doctor wouldnt let anyone use it obviously

i just started my nuva ring and i love it . i cant feel at all i was kinda worried about it cause how they explain it to at the doctors but . i hav not felt and my fiance cant feel it when we have sex ... i have used many diffrent bc and this one i like alot . if u have medcade they will pay for hte nuva rig witch is great .. i think it is better to have this then the pill cause of forgettin and haveing a 10 month old i get destracted fast. so i got a calender and put it in my bathroom where i can see it to keep track of my nuva ring and periods

I've been on the ring for 20 days now (I take it out tomarow). Everything seems okay but im having horrible nightmares about my boyfriend, depression, irritbility, and well Im just a little intimidated by all the "Ohhhh! Your going to get a blod clot and die!" and the "well I still got pregnnt on it, see how well it worked?"

I took the pill for five years before I switched to the Nuvaring. I would constantly forget to take the pills, so I thought the ring would be a better option. I switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen (not the low dose kind) to the Nuvaring and had no weird side effects or differences that I have noticed. I have been on the Nuvaring for 5 months now. The only problem I have had is that is falls out about half the time when I have sex. This is not a big deal for me because I am in a committed relationship and he is just happy I am protected. It doesn't bother him when it falls out, so I guess it depends who you are with. Some people have mentioned not knowing it fell out. I always check after sex while cleaning up. It is not hard to just stick a clean finger in to double check. Overall, I love the Nuvaring. It is 99% effective and I don't have to remember to take a pill every single day. I plan to stay on this for quite a few more years until I am ready for kids.

I started on the Nuva Ring about 1 year ago. I was previously taking a mono phasic pill. Intially, I thought the ring was the greatest thing ever. However, about 2 months into the ring I noticed an extreme decrease in sex drive. I am relieved to know that this is common (I thought it was just me). My husband says that he sometimes can feel it and I could feel it as well during intercourse. I think that this contributed to my decrease in drive. It was very upsetting for our relationship as I avoided sexual contact and my husband couldn't understand why and I couldn't explain it. The last 3 months I have actually had problems with it protruding out of my vagina no matter what I do. I insert just as my health care provider suggested but I can be walking around and essentially the bottom 1/8 will slip and protrude outward. Even after re-insertion it still slips. I am switching back to a pill as soon as this cycle is over. I do not feel it is the best method. I would not recommened it if you have no problem taking a pill. If you chronically forget it might be worthwhile, but too much hassle.

Don't use nuvaring! I'm 36 and I was on the nuvaring for 4 yrs. I just got off the nuvaring in Dec. and my hair has been falling out ever since! It's June and at this rate I will be bald by Sept. When I was on it I had depression and I went to be treated for that and also paid alot of money on Dr. visits for them to tell me it has to run it's course and get out of my body. It could take up to a year for your hormones to go back after nuvaring!! Please don't try it I wish I would just used the pill.

I've been on it for about 2 years and I love it. I switched from YAZ which made me crazy so the ring is perfect. It's true that some guys can feel it but taking it out before and inserting it (this sounds really graphic I'm sorry) after works for me. I recently got off it when I was no longer in a relationship and my body went through too many changes so I got back on it.

i just started using the nuvaring, and im hoping it works for me because ive never been on any birth control and already have one kid. But i was wondering if its ok to feel the ring when you check in there. For example i dont have any problems with it slipping out or anything, it stays only in one place even after sex but is it ok if i can feel the tip of it? i mean even if i push it farther back it goes back to that place. And also im terrifeid of gaining wieght since i hera it sometimes happens with pills. But i havent heard anyone mention anything about that.

So... I really like the ring, but the cost is making it not feasible to use! Why is it so expensive? I checked with Planned Parenthoods all over the place that are anywhere near me, and the cost is between $49 and $72! What gives? I got a Rx from the dr, and it was still $50 with my insurance. What a rip! :mob: Anyone else have this experience?
burkhart77 6 years
I wouldn't say you have to check it frequently to make sure it is in place. It is more like you have to check it after sex. I suppose every woman is different so its possible it doesn't stay in well for every woman. I used it for 1+ years before stopping to try and get pregnant. I loved this method of birth control, especially how soon it was out of your system if you wanted to try and get pregnant. And I was never very good at remembering to take the pill every day, so it was more reliable and convenient for me. I noticed no change in my libido, but did see the typical weight gain associated with other methods of BC. The risks of blood clots etc are definitely things to talk to your doctor about!

My experience with Nuva Ring I started Nuva Ring when I was 40 years old and got married not too long ago. I have two kids and they are in there late teens. My new husband does not want to have any kids, so I've been on Nuva Ring for two years because I was always really bad about remembering to take the pill so the Nuva Ring is GREAT for me and I love it!!! It's very convenient, being able to just forget about birth control for a month. But for some reason I think that I got a hold of a bad batch and I am having problem with them. If you have experienced the following symptoms, please consult with your doctor: Depression: because I thought that I was pregnant, so I hit an extreme low. The first time I used the ring I had itching, discharge, burning and yeast infection. Headaches, Mood swings, bloating, gas, cramps, emotional, pelvis pain, hair loss, my vision has change, constant fatigue and lack of motivation and I have gained about 20 pounds. I get headaches all the time. I'm CONSTANTLY tired, but I do have to get up to go to work. My experience the first time using the ring was an infections and burning and it went away after the second time I used it. I didn't know the ring was the cause of the infections it until now. After two years I have been passing blood clots and bleeding know for three weeks, I even thought that I was pregnant and I lost the baby and for three days and I was very depress, afraid that I really miscarried a baby and on Friday I took a pregnancy test and it came negative. I made an appointment with my OB/GYM doctor and he also did a pregnancy test and it came negative and we didn't know the reason why I was bleeding for so long and he also gave me medicine to stop the bleeding and also gave me iron pill for my anemic, since I lost so much blood. He told me he would do some test and find out why I am bleeding so much, so he did other test and schedule a Tran's vaginal ultra sound sonogram test. The doctor found out that I have 3 fibroids in the uterus and the doctor suggested having D/C uterine scraping, so that I don't get any cancer in my uterus. I talk with my husband and also decided to do a hysterectomy. Surgery went well, I am still here. I schedule the surgery on a Friday and back to work on Monday. Now I am concentrating on getting better and try to loose the weight. NOTE: I have read that soo many of you have problems in the libido or sex drive. I never had a problem in that department. I meet a great man and we both love having sex, before I started the Nuva Ring and during using the ring and after the operation have not lost the edge of having sex two to three times a day. I think many of just don't find the time, too busy with work or busy with the kids, lost that loving feeling. I am too in love and love doing it. I hope this was helpful.

I used NuvaRing for about a year. For my first cycle I was on it, I bled heavily nonstop the whole month. It was miserable, but I stuck it out and that cleared up. After that I didn't have any abnormal bleeding. I found the ring to be super convenient and effective. I didn't feel it once it was in, and the boyfriend never noticed it. However, the lasting side effect I had was depression. Because of that and the expense, I stopped taking the ring and we switched back to condoms. The depression vanished as though I'd flipped a switch. Much as I liked the convenience of the ring, it was not worth sacrificing my mental health. I won't be going back to it. I know other women who haven't had a single negative side effect from the ring, and love it. If I hadn't had side effects, I would have loved it too. Just be prepared -- they don't tell you that depression and mood swings can happen with the Ring, but it does happen to some women (you're changing your body's hormonal balance; OF COURSE it happens!).

I am a huge of the Nuva Ring! My first birth control was the patch, when that was new... and I liked it, it worked, it was a bit tedious to keep checking etc... but hey~ no babies and it worked~ ;D (I even did the depo shot... a few times... but making the appointment each time, even if it was 3 months, was too much of a hassle for me) So when Nuva Ring came out... oh like I started trying it when I was a Senior in High school... late 2004 or late 2005, I fell in love with it! I still love the Nuva Ring. I have been using it ever since! I adore the idea that I only have to think about it 2 times a month... 1 time to put it in and the 2nd time to pull it out. It is so great~ Especially with my busy schedule, if I did not put alerts in my phone every week... in the days to put in and pull it out... I would probably forget! xD You totally do not feel it in you at all~ and mine has always stayed in perfectly! As a point, I alwayyyysss feel tampons, no matter how much I try to fix it... to no avail, but the ring is not a problem. Boyfriend has had no issue, he knows its there, because he felt it one time (and not by his penis).... but even during intercourse... never has popped out or been an issue! I love! I am a hugeeee Fan... No babies~ no health issues... easy as heck to use... and I just refilled my prescription yesterday.

Colleeninator & plus_2_kid -- That happened to me too. My bf pulled out (to change positions) and goes "what the heck is that" and the ring was sitting firmly around his penis!! Obviously I switched to the pill right after that, but we still make jokes about it!

Coleeninater - Back when I was single, I used to make the Ring Toss game joke when warning a new guy about it!!! It never happened though, LOL I can't believe it did to you. Did you reward your husband with 2L of Coke?

AWESOME AWESOME. 1) I used it for 5 years with NO side effects at all. 2) My man could feel it at first but it never bothered him after that. 3) BONUS - it got me to stop smoking!! yea!! 4) I lengthened it to 4 weeks in, 1 week out (this made it cheaper). Also, I got pregnant one month after I stopped using it. Faster than I expected for sure! I've used the Pill and the Depo shot. The Ring blew the other 2 out of the water.

Autumn--I didn't know the implant was back on the market. That would be interesting to hear about! One of my friends just got the hormone IUD. I'll ask how she likes it, but I guess it'll take her a few months to decide. She said they didn't recommend the copper IUD for anyone who has heavy periods or bad cramps. It's mostly for people with medical conditions or on drugs that are incompatible with hormonal BC.

I would like to see a pro's and cons of various IUD's as well, that'd be really interesting. I'm messing about with different forms of contraceptives at the moment and can't afford to go to the doctor to sit down for a while and have a decent chat without a set list of questions. (My doctors brilliant but the longer you're there the more you get charged) I'd also like to see one for the implant.

My 17 month old daughter is my proof on how well the Nuvaring worked for me. After I had my daughter I was talking about birth control options to my doctor and she told me the Nuvaring was not that effective. I'm now on the Mirena and I absolutely love it! It stays in place for five years and I have no periods! My doctor also told me the only thing more effective than the Mirena was getting my tubes tied.

I've been using the ring for four months, so not long compared to some. But I like it FAR better than the pill. My husband said I am less moody (I had to promise not to get mad to get a response out of him). He can feel it, but only sometimes he said. And he wouldn't even had mentioned it if I hadn't asked out of curiosity.

I've used the Ortho-tri-cyclen (pill) and NuvaRing. On the pill, I had ridiculous mood swings, spotting, paralyzing cramps, tender breasts and NO libido to speak of. Oh yes, and I was on the pill for quite a while waiting for these side effects to go away, like they're expected to after 2-3 months. On NuvaRing, I had a libido again. No mood swings, cramping and breast tenderness only happened on my period (which is normal for me). Everything else was pretty much the way it was supposed to be. Couldn't feel it. Easier to keep track of. Once during sex, my husband DID pull out with it around his penis (like some kind of ring-toss game) but other than that, it never came out. The only thing I really have against it is that, since I stopped using NuvaRing, I've had small amounts of nipple-discharge, and the only explanation anyone can find for it is that the NuvaRing messed with my hormones. It doesn't seem to be doing any harm though.

Sorry, dear, but you're incorrect in saying that it can slip out easily! :oy: I'm disappointed, but not surprised, that you would spread such a misconception on your site.

I love the ring! With my insurance, it's only $11/month, which is awesome. I've never, EVER had it fall out during anything (swimming, working out, sex, etc.) and it's great for me because my daily schedule is so irregular that it's impossible for me to remember the pill. I didn't gain any weight at all, and it's improved my cramps as well. I was definitely a little moody when I first started it but I'm totally fine now. It did decrease my sex drive a little but it might also just be that I've gotten busier, too. My boyfriend doesn't feel it at all and I'm rarely aware of it. Actually, the only problem I've had with it is that I'm usually so unaware of it that I'm more likely to forget to take it out at the end of the three weeks, which is really my fault for not being better about my calendar =/

Ime77--Progesterone-only birth control can have side-effects too (bone loss, weight gain, ovarian cysts, etc.) But you're right, the important thing is to talk to your doctor and see what's right for you. Everyone is different. Women should make sure their doctor knows their family medical history as well as their own to help them choose the safest option. And don't be afraid to call your doctor if you have concerns. You are not wasting their time. It's their job.

Following Shateri Assassination, Hezbollah Threatens Israeli Power Station
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.—Genesis 1:3
New in the Website
Now it makes sense!
I found out about the assassination of General Hassan Shateri in a "breaking news" article that appeared in Israeli newspaper Haaretz on February 13. Following Israeli codes, it cited several foreign sources, mainly an Iranian news agency and an Arabic newspaper published in London. This allows it to avoid breaking censorship laws. Yet, at first, it was difficult to believe the details provided by Israel. They went way beyond the details provided by any of the foreign agencies. The Israeli report was so detailed—including maps of the assassination site near Damascus while other sources couldn't even decide if the event took place in Lebanon or Syria—that it left no room for doubt who was behind the event. Moreover, when foreign sources couldn't even name the role of the Iranian general, Israel was describing his actions in exceptional detail. They described a highly disciplined, non-corrupt general, member of the elite "Kuds Force" ("Holy Force"), who was highly successful in the civil reconstruction of South Lebanon, an area which had been practically destroyed in the Israeli attack of 2006. Before that, he had served in Afghanistan and Iraq. As commander of the Iranian Committee for the Reconstruction of Lebanon, he ran a yearly budget of $200 million, which was used for reconstruction of homes and civil and military infrastructures. In that function, he moved in Lebanon and Syria using a pseudonym "Hussam Hush Nevis" (Roman spelling may vary); at the moment of his assassination, he was in Syria to study reconstruction plans for the northern city of Aleppo. His pseudonym was introduced by the USA in its list of sanctioned Iranians, a testimony of his importance and effectiveness (also of his successful pseudonym, his real name was clean). Israeli articles mentioned the number of the reconstructed houses and went just short of providing the addresses.
In his reaction, Sheikh Nassrallah used a Biblical principle, which appears several times in the Pentateuch+. "And those who remain shall listen and fear, and they shall no longer continue to commit any such evil thing among you. You shall not have pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Israel hit a reconstruction engineer; Nasrallah threatened the Lights of Rabin Power Station. The Israel that prides itself in its Biblical origin may soon taste a punishment of Biblical dimensions.
