Statement periods are from the 21st of a month to the 20th of the following month. Statements will be sent by the 25th of each month for all accounts that have activity during the period or that have a balance (due or credit) at the end of the period.
Financial aid is applied to accounts as directed by the Office of Financial Aid. Should a student become ineligible for financial aid that has been previously credited to the account, the amount previously credited will be charged back to the account. If the Office of Financial Aid has not received all necessary paperwork, they may withhold applying some or all financial aid to the account. Pending financial aid does not alleviate the responsibility for making payments. Students with pending aid should contact the Office of Financial Aid to resolve any issues prior to the payment due date. Otherwise, the statement balance should be paid by the due date to avoid a late payment fine. Any outside scholarships and loans will be credited to accounts when funds are received. Monthly payments will be adjusted after they are applied.
If a student does not pay the required monthly minimum payment, he/she will receive a notification reminding them of the delinquent payment and his/her student account will be placed on "Stop" by Student Accounts. The stop is a tool used both to track delinquent student accounts and to prevent students from registering for additional classes or making schedule changes.
Special arrangements may be made if a student is unable to pay according to the prescribed schedule or terms. Such arrangements must be requested in writing to the Student Accounts Office and will not be considered valid unless approved by the Director of Student Accounts.

A LANDSCAPE gardener ran a potential £10,000 cannabis farm at a house in Oswaldtwistle.
Karen Manson, 46, had a record for supplying the drug, but had not been acting alone and somebody else must have set up the 'sophisticated' growing systemy, Burnley Crown Court heard. The electricity meter had been by-passed at the house, where 44 cannabis plants were found in two bedrooms.
There was high-powered lighting, a ventilation system, and two plants looked like they had been harvested. Experts estimated the 26 plants found in the front bedroom could have produced just over a kilo of cannabis, worth £10,000 on the streets.
Manson, of Chestnut Grove, Fern Gore, Accrington, had admitted producing the drug, between January and April this year. She was given 12 months in prison, suspended for two years, with two years' supervision. David Macro, prosecuting, said the house, in Havelock Street, had not been lived in since 2008.
Julian Goode, for Manson, said she worked as a landscape gardener and part-time delivery driver. She had convictions for drugs, but they were some time ago.

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 7.15.14

HOUSTON - A group of concerned citizens sprang into action to help a pair of off-duty Houston police officers who were trying to stop a car seen driving dangerously through parts of Northwest Harris County Sunday afternoon.
"In Harris County, you see crime every day and it's time for people to start stepping up and doing more," said retired volunteer firefighter, Robert Neinist.
Neinist said he saw a car rear-end a pickup truck and then speed away with the hood up and covering most of the windshield. Neinist said he then pursued what he thought was a hit-and-run driver.
"The black car sped away with its hood over the windshield, spewing steam and smoke and everything else," said Neinist. "They were also endangering other people going down 2920. People were getting out of their way, like I said, the hood was up and the guy was looking through (a small part of the) windshield trying to drive."
Neinist said two off-duty HPD officers were also pursuing the driver, along with several more civilians. The chase wound its way through traffic when Neinist said he saw the driver of the car eventually stop, jump out and run through a field near the area of Stuebner Airline and Louetta.
"I drove across the field. HPD and another gentleman were chasing after him. HPD yelled at him to stop," said Neinist. "(I) heard the HPD officer yelling for someone to help him, because he caught the suspect hiding behind a fence in the trees."
Neinist said the other off-duty officer and civilians helped stop a woman who was also in the car.
Sheriff's deputies then arrived and said the pair was trying to make such a dangerous getaway because they're believed to have robbed an HEB and Radio Shack in the area. Deputies were seen taking several items out of the car.
"War on Crime we got to start going after the people and people have to get involved," said Neinist.
Three people were arrested. Sheriff's officials have not yet released their names or what charges may be filed against the individuals.

Hey guys. I have a problem I need to solve with dynamic programming for the university. As I'm pretty new to Python I'm asking you for help.
The problem:
Given a mxn matrix of positive and negative integers, write code to find the square sub-matrix with the largest possible sum.
The problem is similar to this one, but it needs to be a square submatrix:

So any code or pseudocode would be very helpful.

Ryan Callahan:
"I'm happy that I'm starting to put away my chances, but unfortunately we've got to get the win there. Maybe if I bury that 2-on-1 we have a better chance at it."
"I looked at Dubi. The defenseman looked like he was playing him pretty hard, so I took it to the middle and tried to get a good shot, and he made a good save on me. Obviously I want to score there, but unfortunately it didn't happen that way and they come back down and score, so it makes it a little bit more frustating that it didn't go in."
"(Cam Ward) played a good game. We had our chances. You've got to give him credit where credit's due. Hank played great for us, too, and gave us a chance to win. He kept us in the game, and unfortunately we didn't bury the next one that we needed and they did."
"We've got to tighten up defensively still. We know we're still running around a little bit in our defensive zone. I think that will come with time. I think we've gotten better through the first part of the season here, and everybody's starting to get better at it and starting to get used to it, but we still have to tighten up some and limit their chances."
On home-ice:
"I try not to look too much into it, to be honest with you. The first couple of home games I didn't feel we played our best, but tonight I thought we played pretty well. Obviously we need to bury a couple more of our chances and limit theirs, but it's just a mindset. We've got to come out hard and continue that for a full 60 minutes, whether we're home or away. We've got to keep the same gameplan and stick to it."
Marc Staal:
"I thought in the second we were having problems getting it out of our zone cleanly. We had a lot of turnovers before our blue line and in the neutral zone, and I thought that caused them to have a little momentum. Obviously there's things we can tighten up."
"Both goalies played great. Ward's been playing well all season long. We were getting good opportunities in tight. We were working them down low and finding pucks in the crease and just unable to squeak a few by him when we needed them. But we did create offense."
On home-ice:
"I don't know. It just seems to be at the end of games it slips through our fingers and we need to find a way to correct that in a hurry. As good as we've been on the road, we need to do that at home to be successful. We need to start getting a winning record here."
"We've had a good offense this year and when we're forechecking we're creating a lot of chances, and that should make it easier on us defensemen and goalies. But it seems right now bounces are slipping by us, and a few goals at certain times have been costing us at home."
Henrik Lundqvist:
"It felt like I was on in the third and I felt I could help the team here get a point or two points, but not tonight."
"They're a fast team. They did a good job of hunting pucks down and knife through us. … but I thought we created enough chances to win this game. But unfortunately we came up short.
"I felt good. I had a good feeling that we could do this, we'd get a good win at home. But again we lose a game short-handed late in the game. It's always tough to lose that way. But we definitely created enough chances to win the game. But, you know, we came up short and, oh, very disappointing."

I have been having seizures since I was 12 years old.When I was younger, my seizures although not very frequent were quite severe and I usually always went into "Status" and would always have to be brought to the hospital to be brought out of them.I am allergic to Dilantin, Tegretol, Phenobarb and have been on alot of other AEDs that have not worked or have only worked for a short amount of time to control my seizures.As I grew older, my seizures became less severe but more frequent.I am now 34 and suffer from Simple and Complex Partial seizures, three or four times/month.For the past six months I have been going through testing at Yale to see if I might be a candidate for surgery.I have gone through a two week stay in the hospital for constant video eeg monitoring, I have had Ictal SPEC and PET scans and numerous MRIs.I have also had my WADA test.With all the scans and monitoring that I have had, they have determined that the focus of my seizures is in my right temporal lobe but my brain is othewise normal with no lesions or scar tissue of any kind.I am scheduled to be admitted into the hospital on Feb 7th for surgery to have a grid and depth electrodes placed on the surface of my brain to determine where in my temporal lobe the focus of my seizures is.The Drs. think I am an excellent candidate for surgery.The thought of having a temporal lobectomy scares me.I had an MRI done at Albert Einstein College In NYC, they have one of the largest machines in the world and nothing abnormal showed up.I would feel better about having a piece of my brain removed if there was an abnormality.Everyone that I have talked to that has had this operation has said that it has changed their life for the better.I have nt driven a car in almost 5 years and I am currently taking Keppra and Zonegran.The Keppra causes me to be severly depressed.When i was in the hospital for my monitoring and was taken off all of my meds, I was like an entirely diffrent person off the medication.I was HAPPY!! I was Smiling !! I was laughing!! I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has gone through the surgery or has had or is having any kind of similar experiences.This is one of the scariest decisons I am ever going to have to make in my life.
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
I had a gran mal seizure in December of 2009. I have no history of epilepsy so it came out of the blue. I have not been able to drive since. I have been on Lamictal, Topomax and Kepra in all sorts of dosages but to the dismay of my neurologist, my body seems to metabolize it too quickly for it to regulate my seizures fully. Every time I had a AEEG, it recorded a minimum of 20 seizures in a period of 3 days. My MRI showed no abnormalities or scar tissue. My VEEG narrowed the location of the seizures to the right temporal and frontal lobes. Now my neurologist is trying to get it approved for me to go in for the more invasive testing that involves going through the skull and placing the electrodes on the actual brain in order to get an idea where exactly the seizure were coming from so that I could have the surgery and my life could go back to normal. I had just received my teaching credential and and masters and am now receiving my second teaching credential. I need to be able to get a job which I can't do without being able to drive (up in a small mountain community it is a must).
Hello Deadhead my name is Scott and I han my RTL on November 12th.
I agree it definently changes your life for the better. I also havent driven for 6 years and if all continues to go well will be able to drive again in the fall of 2008.
Prior to my surgery I was having about 1 to 2 seizures a day each lasting about 2 to 3 minutes a peice. Since surgery I had one night where I had 4 seizures each lasting about 5 seconds or less. I was only 1 week out from having had the surgery so my brain was still healing and I was so loopy from the pain meds that I had forgotten to take my aed's the day before. OOPS!!!! My bad.
Since then absolutely no seizures what so ever. Because my Right side had ben bad for so long my left temporal lobe has taken over and performs the functions that the RTL used to do. So much like yourself I was also given a high chance of success.
So far so good. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or chat on-line with me. Good luck, and take care Scott.
Re: RTL
Hi Scott,
Glad to hear you are doing good :) My daughter is scheduled for her first viedo EEG on the 17th of march 2008
she is exicited. She is 11. She has been having spells starting at the age of 3 mo. not knowing what they were
A Dr at childerns in Dallas said they were Migraine without the pain so we went with this diagnosis up until july of 2006 when she had her 1st Seizure.
What kind of recovery did you have? Personality, memory.
Take care
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
I went to Yale for brain surgry this past summer. Chances are I went through the same tests as you. I was sent to Albert Einstine Hospital for testing. After 1 month in Yale, laying there doing nothing while my medication was lowared and I was monitered, they decided I was not a canidate because of where my seizures were coming from.
I'm glad I tried though. They are very careful and won't do the surgury if they think there is too much of a risk for you.
I know someone else who went there and was able to have the surgury. He has been seizure free ever sience.
If you are looking for advice I'd try it. (as I did) but we are all different so it comes down to you making the decision.
P.S. The people there are so nice.

Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Hi there,
Welcome to the forum! It was nice chatting with you in the chatroom earlier this evening.
WOW - you have a really hard decision to make, and my thoughts are with you as you go down this road. My epileptologist thinks I may be a candidate for surgery also, but I haven't explored it very far. They did find a lesion in my right temporal lobe on my last MRI, but we're not certain that it is the only focal point of my seizures. There were several abnormalities on the EEG's that indicated left side focal point also.
I think the surgery would be a very hard decision for anyone having to make it. Just the thought of having part of your brain operated on is frightening to me. However, with all the side effects of the AED's, especially the depression, personally, I may lean towards the surgery. Like you, when they took me off of AED's while in the hospital for testing, I was my old self again. Wow - laughter, comprehension, happiness? They were back !! They have me on Keppra and an anti-depressant now, and I am functioning better, but my seizures are not under control. I still have an average of 1 or 2 a week.
I wish you the best of luck as you go down this path. Know that you have friends here who will be very supportive.

Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Hi D,
Sounds like you and I have been down the same testing road.. although you got the American version and I got the Canadian version.
Eg... in the USA (I'm told) the WADA test is given to everyone, whereas due to the expense, here it's only given to those who show possible problems in their neuro-psych test and only after all other tests (since if other tests aren't pro-surgery the WADA woukd have beeen $$ wasted).
Yet, due to your paying directly for the services, you were able to complete the testing in 6 months - whereas it took me 22 months.
I've had this a very long time..since I was 3yrs old. My mother had me at the Montreal Neurological Hospital when I was 20 & when I was 24 ...but you know, I was glad I didn't come up as a candidate for surgery since my ventures with surgery back then were more my mother's idea than mine.
Having had this all my life, I was normal, ty, and I wouldn't have been willing to take the risk.
When I was 38, after seeing a fortune of neurologists, I was sent to a fantastic female epileptologist who intuitively knew what meds would control me. Thanks to her, I had 10 years of complete control. My confidence zoomed though the roof, I was driving - for the first time in my life, and I got to know the independence that most take for granted.
Then one day - two years ago this coming February - the freedom I had dissolved when I had a complex partial behind the wheel and drove the car into somone's garage.
Now I knew what I was missing so for the first time in my life I had problems coping, and I know I will never trust meds to drive again..so my only recourse was to investigate surgery.
I'm about to undergo a left temporal lobectomy on Thurs Jan 12th - and I'm psyched. As I see it, I'm fortunate to be eligible for the surgery, and I will never get my life back that I had if I don't go for it & take the risk.
I'm not the least scared about the surgery..I'm more afraid of being one of those where the surgery doesn't work...but the upside is so great I don't see how anyone can lose by trying.
And neurosurgery units are known by their successes, so there is little to be scared about IMO.If you have been chosen for surgery
chances are that things look in your favour, so go for it!!
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
My 21 year old daughter is scheduled for RTL surgery on Jan 3rd 2006. She has been battling a seizure disorder since she was 4 years old. She has tried about 10 different meds singly and in combinations but has has no success with any of them. She is trying to hold down a full time job and they have been very understanding of seizures she has at work. However she's only been there 4 months and will now be off for 2 months after the surgery. My concern is the effects of her losing that portion of the brain. Long term effects?? Immediate effects?? What is the recovery like in the weeks following surgery??Will she need full time help. Should I take an extended leave from work to be with her ? I have that option available to me but I'm not sure what to do. She is really nervous but also hopeful that this will change her life for as you know that living with uncontrolled epilepsy means your life can be turned up side down at any second.
Hi Dina, re:My concern is
Hi Dina,
re:My concern is the effects of her losing that portion of the brain
My WADA test proved my epileptologist's statement: "Often if/when there is a problem with a young brain, the other side picks up the slack and compensates"
They found some 'typically' left brained duties were being done by the right side of my brain since the left was unable to function properly. So if it's the ability of her brain to work as it should there's no need for concern (assuming she passed the WADA)
Also, sadly,there are no promises of complete control re surgery - only about 70% gain it.Your daughter needs to realize this and be prepared no matter what happens.
Re: Hi Dina, re:My concern is
hi my name is misty i under went right temporal lobe surgery this april 06 will be 2 yrs since my surgery i had seizures since i was 2 yrs old everyday up to 6 times a day they just got worse when i was about 18 i got preg.and that brought on the gran ma seizures so i was having both epilepsy and gran ma my live was alful couldn't drive couldn't work been on diff meds nothing work so my doc refeered me to a specialist thats where they done several test and determind where it was coming from my right temporal lobe they gave me a 70%of never having another one or i could be a ginny pig and keep tring meds well i went with the surgery it was the best thing i could have ever done i would do it all over again i'm seizure free for 2 yrs now and when you have them everyday for 24 yrs thats along time to be seizure free but i would refer anyone to it it saved my life it gave me life i'm normal i can live a normal life thank god.
Re: Re: Hi Dina, re:My concern is
Hi Misty ! Thanks so much for sharing your story! And I am so thankful you have had such a positive outcome. Your story will help those looking at surgery and provide a very positive light on the possible outcomes.

babygurl, I had the surgery
babygurl, I had the surgery on the Left Temporal Lobe and they removed a part of my brain about the size of you thumb, and they let me see it after the operation. However my speech and memory was not effected so there is very slim chance that it would make a difference that is if they did test to see what sides of the speech and memory are located both specch and memory was on the right Lobe. If both functions are on the side of where the seizures start and end they would have to do local anestetics. I just had faith in it because I wanted to go to school and here I am. Just step out on faith!
God Bless
Re: Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Hi Dina,
I just wanted to check in and see how your daughter (and you, of course), are doing.
My thoughts are with you,
Re: Re: Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Hey everyone,
I am a mom of 3 and my 10 year (Baby)has had partial compex seizures since she was 4 years old. After trying numerous medications and struggling in school we have decided to go for the surgery. All we know is that it's in the frontal lobe, we don't have a definate focal point. To our suprise the surgeon did mention cortical dysplasia...we understood that to be a good thing if that is what is causing her seizures. Ofcourse now that we have decided with TONS of prayers that we would go forward she is doing better. The Doctor calls it the Honeymoon stage because shes on new meds. Our surgery date is October 16th...any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks and good luck to everyone.
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Hi Baleighsmom,
I know this is a really old thread, but wanted to see if you did have her surgery and how did it go. Hope she is doing well. We are in a similar situation. My 6 year old daughter was having 10-12 drop seizures and we got her evaluation done 2 months back. After a lot of deliberation, we finally decided to have the surgery and it is scheduled in 3 weeks. However, last 2 weeks she's doing better and hardly having seizures, go figure!! Now we are in a dilemma whether to continue with the surgery. She's had 'honeymoon periods' before too.
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
I am 30 and had my first seizure about 4 years ago. MRI's showed a tumor on my left temporal lobe. After many MRI's the options I was given were, do nothing (just continue meds), have rediation therapy, or have surgery. I was going though a divorce, had a 1 yr old (and a 4yr old) and my job was undergoing changes too. My life was very hectic to say the least. I opted for surgery. My surgery was 3yrs and 3 months ago at UCSF. I had a seizure the day after the surgery, while still at the hospital. I had another 4 days later, whn I got home. Seven months later, I had another, while I was asleep. I haven't had any since. Right after the surgery, the surgeon was ready to take me off meds (I was taking Dilantin at the time). My neuro-oncologist was hesitant though. I have stayed on medicine and at this point will indefinatly. A year ago I swithed my medicine to Lamictal. On a side note, I LOVE lamictal. The side effects have been minimal compared to how much better I feel. The surgery was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I don't regret it though. I guess I have some confort in know that the tumor is gone. This May will be 3 years seizure free. I hope that things go well either way.
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Do you mind me asking where exactly your tumor was in the left temporal lobe? Im scared to death. I have a 12 yr old son who has been having complexx partial seizures for the last 2 1/2 years. He is currently on Tegretrol. Ive been so stressed out as a parent. His seizures have been pretty much controlled with the meds. He has one maybe once every 3 or 4 months. Maybe once a month too but not very often. His mri shows a lesion in his left temporal lobe. Doctor just wants to monitor it to see if it gets any bigger. In 2 1/2 years it hasnt grown any at all, so I'm trying to stay positive. When he was first diagnosed with the seizures he had no memory of them, they would last for a few minutes. Now they arent as ling and he has memory of them. I havent seen him have one in a very long time, he comes and tells me. He says they dont last for maybe a minute and remembers having them just is really tired afterwards. I know I'm jumping the gun with everything. His Dr seems to not be concerned doesnt want him to come back for a check up and a repeat MRi in a year. I guess thats good news? When I mentioned surgery he said yes but there is risk with it effecting his speech. Being a parent I just worry about him so much. I worry that he is going to have a granmal seizure. I just don't know why they dont send me to a surgeon now and let them take it out. I'm so scared they are going to tell me he isnt a candidate because of where the lesion in located. Has anyone had a lesion/tumor or whatever removed from your left temporal lobe?
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
Hi there
I am so pleased for you that you are an eligible candidate for surgery, but I can also sympathize with how scary you must be feeling right now with the surgery being so close.
I have complex partial seizures too with a scar in my Left Temporal Lobe. I have been having tests done to find out if I am eligible for surgery. I have already had the Video Telemetry EEG test where my drugs were drawn off me until I had a few seizures shown on camera. I have had numerous MRI Scans and now just waiting for my next thing to be the Wada Test which I am dreading deep down before the actual surgery. Another thing that is worrying me is the recovery period and how bad and how long will it be?
I wish you all the best for your pending surgery and don't worry to much. We all have to try and think of the positive outcome it will hopefully bring us.
Let me know how you get o!!!
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery

Re: Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
My daughter has surgery scheduled on the 16th at MCG. Did Dr. Mark Lee do yours?
Are you right handed or left
Are you right handed or left handed? Did you have febrile seizures as an infant?, or perhaps meningitis? Sometimes your medical record may put your mind at ease. Medicine sometimes has theories that are just as standard as physics-such as dropping a ball and having it fall towards the earth or in medicine using antibiotics to kill a strain of bacteria. The trend seems to be people who have had febrile seizures tend to develop seizure disorders later in life. Also the most preferable side to have surgery on is the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain. If you're right handed, it would be best to be a surgical candidate for a right brain tissue resection...in most cases. The WADA test, however, is important in determining how much functioning there really is on that side of the brain. Along with other tests, it will determine if you truly are a good candidate. Here's why I was a good candidate...
1. I had a strong seizure focus on the right hemisphere around that area of the brain.
2. I was right handed and my left brain hemisphere was dominant. My language and speech functions were on the left side.
3. Extensive testing (neuropsychological, WADA) showed that because my seizures had gone on for so long, (I can even remember the auras back from kindergarten) the circutry of that area around my brain was fried. The theory is that that tissue doesn't function correctly, and mostly not at all, and over time can cause "kindling" where the other side adopts the same dysfunction. Since that tissue, and the surrounding area weren't doing any good, surgery was the best option.
4. Most importantly, the medication wasn't working, surgery of any type should be a last option- but 3-4 complex partial seizure means loss of consciousness and is pretty severe. The doctors did notice scar tissue in my case, hippocampul sclerosis, my mother remembers that one doctor said he saw nothing. Second opinions are good ideas, it's your brain after all. However, there was scar tissue there in my case.
I am happy with my surgery...but remember this is your decision,and a hard one I know, I don't want to sell this to you cause I felt like some of the doctors were doing that to me and it made me paranoid. This is just my testimony.
...and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love...you make. Lennon&McCartney.
Re: Are you right handed or left
This is my first entry here.
I've had two right temporal lobectomy procedures. The first was in 2001, the re-surgery was done in 2005. I suffered with adult on-set temporal lobe complex parital seizures for eight years. Before the first surgery I was experiencing 7-10 seizures per day. Surgery was my last HOPE. My seizure activity returned after 13 months.Then I went to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for the re-surgery.
Now I experience double the memory loss side effects, and the left visual loss as well. However, I am once again seizure free 18 months after surgery. My vision loss is severe enough that I'm not able to drive now. I did enjoy about 13 months driving and I returned to my nursing career for the short while I was seizure free between the two Right Temporal lobectomys. I was frightened with each surgery. However, living with seizure activity and remembering to use seizure procautions all the time was a nightmare for me. I am still mostly disabled. Now I am a stay at home wife. I hope you each found a better life after surgery. God Bless you and Good luck in your future.
Re: Are you right handed or left
Your seizures sound a lot like mine. I have gone through the pre testing this year and am up to the final test... WADA to be done on December 21st. They are anticipating my surgery for probably February. My seizures started as febrile at 15 months old and then didn't start again until 8 years old. I have had partial/complex partial ever since and am on my 9th combo of drugs. My damage is on the left temporal lobe of my brain (scar tissue) and it is now as you say "kindling" my frontal lobe. How many days a month were you having your seizures ? I used to have them for 2 or 3 days but have suddenly jumped to bout a week out of every month with sometime 8 or 9 seizures a day and my memory has deteriorated terribly this year. Also, are you here in the states (I live in Georgia and am now in my 40's)
Re: Right Temporal Lobe Surgery
I have a daughter that is 6years old and she has been taken seizures from 5 months old...and she is on three meds right now plus daistat prn... OMG ... this sounds just like her you could be her twin....no lie and she went into the hospital for four weeks and they took her off all her meds and she was a different person as well.... it was nice to see her with out any meds but then again she was with dr's and RN so i was comfortable with that...i could never do that at home ( not like i would anuways but) just the way that she was and the way she is now i just want to cry cause it was nice to see her with out any meds....like i said she is 6 and i just now put her in school cause i was scared to put her in..she is doing good in school and gets along with other kids but i stay at home all the time just in case she would have one so that i could be there with her...if you do have the surgery let me know how things go...take care and god bless....MsJody

The number of cesarean sections being performed in the United States appears to be going down. That's the finding in a new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"It's probably a good thing. I think cesarean sections in general have increased morbidity, so there's more risk for complications for the mom and for baby and they also cost more," said Dr. Jeffrey Chapa, an OB/GYN at Cleveland Clinic.
Researchers looked back at the number of C-sections being performed in the United States from 1996 to 2012. They saw a significant increase from 1996 until 2009. In fact, rates reached an all-time high of 32.9% in 2009 before declining in 2010 and remaining stable in 2011 and 2012. It currently sits at 21.5 percent.
The state with the lowest rate in 2012 was Utah at 12.5 percent. Florida and Louisiana had the highest rates at nearly 27 percent.
Chapa says he expects to see the overall rate continue to decrease because of new C-section guidelines developed over the last 10 years. He adds it's also important for women to understand their role in the decision-making process.
"So, I think it's very important for the patients to understand the risks and benefits and then make decisions that they're most comfortable with. I think that's really the key role for the patient," explained Chapa.

As part of the big Franco-German deal announced last night in Paris, President François Hollande and Chancellor Angela Merkel took everyone by surprise by announcing they now want a permanent head of the so-called eurogroup, the committee of 17 eurozone finance ministers that does all the heavy lifting on regional economic policy, including bailouts.
The timing of the agreement (it's on page 8 of the nine-page "contribution", which we've posted here) is a bit awkward, since a new part-time eurogroup chairman was appointed just six months ago: Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem.
Most EU officials view the deal as more an effort at Franco-German rapprochement than an attempt to force Dijsselbloem out, despite the fact he has stirred controversy in his short tenure in the job. As one senior official put it, agreeing to language that eurozone reforms "could include" a permanent eurogroup chair "is not exactly ousting someone".
We here at Brussels Blog asked the FT's man in Amsterdam, Matt Steinglass, to send us the reaction from Dijsselbloem's homeland:
There is surprise and a bit of resentment. Dijsselbloem was forced to issue a hasty statement that he did not support the move and would not accept the position if it meant he could no longer serve as finance minister.

Will Stop Sign Cameras Soon Be In A Town Near You?
Everyone knows just how annoying it is when you are in a hurry and you pull up to a four way stop with no one there, but you still have to stop completely. Most people just kind of slow down and roll through the sign. Don't deny – you know you have done it. I admit I have numerous times. Well you better get that out of your system now, because soon you'll be recorded.

Backed by early output, Ryu tops Bucs for 11th win
Lefty solid for seven frames; bats don't miss step without Hanley, Puig
PITTSBURGH -- The Dodgers won Monday night without Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez, which provided a timely opportunity for Don Mattingly to issue a reminder about his team.
"We're not built around Puig or Hanley," Mattingly said after the Dodgers beat the Pirates, 5-2. "If we get quality at-bats, we've got a lot of guys that can score runs. When guys are down, we have guys that can rise to the occasion. We're not just a one-man show."
Puig (left hand) and Ramirez (left wrist) were still sore after being drilled by pitches in St. Louis over the weekend, although a second round of X-rays came back negative and they are expected to return when the pain and swelling subsides. Neither was available for pinch-hitting.
With Puig sidelined, Matt Kemp looked comfortable starting in right field for the first time in five years and easily tracked the four fly balls his way. He also doubled in a run and walked. Justin Turner, who started at shortstop for Ramirez, went 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
No. 3 hitter Adrian Gonzalez, batting behind Turner and ahead of Kemp, went 3-for-3 with two doubles, two walks and an RBI.
"We did a good job with runners in scoring position in those innings we scored," said Gonzalez, the team leader with 62 RBIs.
The beneficiary was Hyun-Jin Ryu, pitching on a week of rest because of the All-Star break. He went seven innings, allowing the two runs with five strikeouts to raise his record to 11-5.
"Any time we give him extra rest, he's obviously better," Mattingly said.
Catcher A.J. Ellis speculated that when Ryu has extra rest, he shows added energy from the first pitch.
"On those nights," said Ellis, "he's really fun to catch."
Ryu is 7-2 on the road this year and 3-0 lifetime against the Pirates. Kenley Jansen was credited with his 29th save.
"[He] probably had the biggest drop in curveball we've seen this year as far as depth," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "It was 13-15 inches of drop. He can throw that down at 71-74 [mph] and the fastball is 92, 93. He's covering 20 [mph] and he has a cutter. The guy's got weapons, and he's a cool cat on the mound. He stayed away from the barrel."
Ryu said his last two starts (the other a scoreless six-inning outing) are the payoff for a breaking-ball overhaul. Ryu said he implemented adjustments in the past two weeks, copying Clayton Kershaw's slider and Josh Beckett's curveball.
"I've learned from my teammates," said Ryu, unafraid to tinker with pitches that made him a star in Korea and a 14-game winner as a rookie in the Major Leagues last year. "I didn't feel pressure in changing. I feel these changes work for me and I throw these pitches with full confidence."
The Dodgers scored off former teammate Edinson Volquez in the third inning, a rally that started with Dee Gordon's infield single. With one out, Gonzalez walked, Kemp doubled in a run and a second run scored on Andre Ethier's groundout.
Lucky bounces led to a three-run fourth inning for the Dodgers. The first came on a single up the middle by Ellis that ricocheted off the second-base bag, otherwise Juan Uribe, who had singled, would have been an easy out at second. Instead, the Dodgers had runners on the corners.
The next lucky bounce came on a Turner one-hop smash that caromed off the chest of third baseman Josh Harrison and into shallow left field. It was scored a two-run double, and Gonzalez followed with a soft liner to center for a single to score Turner.
The Pirates scored in the bottom of the fourth. Andrew McCutchen lined a single off the glove of a diving Gordon at second base. With two outs, Neil Walker walked. Russell Martin singled home McCutchen, and Jordy Mercer singled home Walker. But Ryu stopped the damage there by getting Michael Martinez on a forceout.

Laser Pegs are the most exciting educational toy on the market!
If you are blessed with young children, you are probably aware of the growing importance of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) field in the school system … and its exploding job market.
STEM principles are quickly becoming the most valuable skills for any child to master.
What if I told you that your child could learn valuable STEM and educational principles – while loving every minute of it?
We all want our children to grow up to be happy, successful, and independent. But how do we get them started on the right path?
For young children, the answer is simple: TOYS! And the best toy to teach your child in the most exciting way possible? Laser Pegs!
Ole Kirk Christiansen was the founder of the Danish construction toy company the Lego Group, which we all affectionately refer to today as "legos". He was the 10th son of an impoverished family in Jutland in western Denmark. We have taken this brilliant concept, and transformed it into an interactive toy that literally "comes to life" as your child builds whatever their imagination desires!
Laser Pegs offers your child the opportunity to create anything: From helicopters, animals, people – anything!
While the children have fun building, Laser Pegs teach a variety of STEM approved principles like hand eye coordination, cognitive development, math by grouping, and spacial relations.
What makes Laser Pegs different from any other construction toy out there?
Laser Pegs lights up! Most Laser Pegs parts light up, (the 90 degree peg doesn't). Each Laser Pegs piece emits an LED through the reflective prisms of the individual Laser Pegs parts and construction pieces. This allows each creation to come to life with each added Laser Pegs piece and part. Once connected to any Laser Pegs Powerbase, the colorful lights radiate throughout your child's creation, capturing their imagination and bringing it to life before their very eyes!
The lights can stay on, flash, flash faster, even flash to the beat of a song… There is nothing else like it, and they are magical to see in action!
We urge and encourage you to explore this website and learn all you can about these amazing toys everything it does to help your child succeed!
