Premature rupture of membranes
|AGE Not significant factors
|GENDER Smoking is thought to be a risk factor
|GENETICS Not significant factors
This is the rupture of the membrane sac surrounding the fetus that is not closely followed by labour or that occurs before labour is due.
The fetus is protected in the uterus inside a fluid-filled bag called the amniotic sac. The membranes that form this sac normally rupture during or just before the start of labour, but in about 1 in 14 women they rupture early.
It is not known exactly what causes the membranes to break early, although smoking during pregnancy appears to increase the risk. In some pregnancies, premature rupture of the membranes may be due to an infection that spreads upwards to the uterus from the vagina.
Rupture of the membranes causes the amniotic fluid to leak from the vagina. The amount of fluid lost varies from a light trickle to a heavy gush. If your membranes break at night, you may wake in a pool of liquid, which can easily be mistaken for urine. If you think that your membranes may have broken, you should contact your doctor.
Are there complications for premature membrane rupture?
If labour does not commence within a few hours of the membranes rupturing, there is a risk of the uterus or the fetus becoming infected. There is also a possibility of a cord prolapse, in which the umbilical cord drops into the cervix or vagina. If this occurs, the blood supply to the fetus may be reduced, depriving it of oxygen (see Fetal distress). In women who have not yet reached week 37 of pregnancy, rupture of the membranes may lead to premature labour. In this event, the risk to the fetus of an early delivery must be balanced against the risk of an infection developing if labour is stopped.
What might be done?
You may need to be admitted to hospital and monitored for evidence of an infection. Your doctor will feel your abdomen and examine you internally using a speculum to hold the vagina open. He or she will also take your temperature because a fever may indicate an infection. Your doctor may also take a vaginal swab and arrange for blood tests to look for signs of an infection. If there is an infection, you will be treated with antibiotics. The heart rate of the fetus may be monitored (see Fetal monitoring) to look for indications of fetal distress. If you are at least 37 weeks into your pregnancy, labour usually begins within 24 hours of rupture of the membranes. Labour will usually be induced (see Induction of labour) if it fails to start.
If you are 36 weeks pregnant or the fetus is mature enough for delivery, labour may be induced; otherwise, you may be kept in hospital and monitored for signs of infection. If you are less than 34 weeks pregnant, you may be given injections of corticosteroids to help the fetus's lungs mature.
After birth, the baby may need to be monitored in a special care baby unit, but most babies are healthy and have no ill effects from early delivery.

The Nature Of The Odu Ifa
Many people define Odú as the physical symbols used to mark the signs received during the divination process. Others equate Odú with the verses associated with each symbol that form part of the body of the Ifa divinatory corpus. While both elements reveal a small part of Odú, the greater mystery lies far below the surface.
The Odú are the sacred symbols that hold the ase (power/life force) of everything in existence. They are holistic maps that chart the dynamic movement of energy and identify the most primal forces of the natural world. The Odú are transcendental mandalas that mark the active and inactive energies of a given situation with startling accuracy. Read the rest of this entry

Grown Man On Slingshot Ride Screams Cries and Poops His Pants [Video]
THIS is how you test whether or not he's HUSBAND material.
A chick, presumably named Jackie, takes her boyfriend/date/brother/un-POTTY TRAINED half cousin on the slingshot ride at the fair.
Jackie seems like a seasoned pro, the wussy — in the Jets jersey — is clearly a first timer.
The ride's "FUN cam" begins rolling as the two are strapped in and ready for launch.
Jet looks TERRIFIED as Jackie tells him, "five seconds."
The sling is shot and Jet, immediately, begins SCREAMING like a GOAT! Jackie is having a blast.
"JACKIE I HATE YOU!" Jet screams as he begins writhing around in his seat. Jackie is unconcerned.
As the ride rocks at the top, Jet continues to CRY. Jackie gives him the side eye.
After a little more whimpering, Jet YELLS, "I just s**t myself! I just f**kin s**t my pants!" Jackie laughs.
Everyone already knows the Jets stink. I bet Jackie went home alone.

FBI formally accuses North Korea in Sony hack
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his wife Lyudmila have announced their decision to divorce after nearly 30 years of marriage. The scrutiny a national leader experiences is a hard burden for anyone to bear, Putin explained.
View full story
Well, I don't believe in marriage in the first place. You can't possess another. Plus, we're animals and just not designed for it. I'm thankful for this though. I spent a long time feeling guilty about liking Putin, and now I don't have to feel bad anymore. Not that Putin would ever like me, but I can feel better knowing that he's free too, as we all should be. Alas.
Fortune had a cover about the CEO's second wife, back in the 1980's:
Trading in for the newer model.
Sad. Mr. Putin can only lead a solitary life during his presidential term in office.
This is the beginning of the end for Putin! What a big disappointment! got counseling?
I still like President Putin. I think he is still Awesome!
One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I am saddened to hear this. I wish both of them the best.
Sr. Presidente Putin, ainda há tempo para desistir dessa decisão. Sua familia e as pessoas por toda terra lhe agradecem.
Profundíssimamente lamentável, essa marca é indelével.
O que Deus uniu, não separe o homem.

Two Florida Men Indicted for Distributing Marijuana in Maryland with a Street Value of at Least $8 Million
Greenbelt, Maryland - A federal grand jury indicted Pierre Smith, a/k/a "P," age 37, of Coconut Beach, Florida, and Clifton Domond, age 31, of Mirmar, Florida, late yesterday on charges arising from the distribution of more than 100 kilograms of marijuana in Maryland, with a street value of at least $8 million.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein, Special Agent in Charge Ava Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; and Chief J. Thomas Manger of the Montgomery County Police Department.
According to the five count indictment, from July 2007 to March 22, 2010, the defendants traveled between Florida, Maryland and elsewhere to sell more than 220 pounds of marijuana. The value of the marijuana sold is estimated to be at least $8 million.
Both defendants face a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison for conspiracy to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana; 40 years in prison for distributing marijuana; and five years in prison on each of three counts for traveling between Florida, Maryland and elsewhere to distribute drugs. The defendants had their initial appearances in federal court in Greenbelt shortly after their arrest on March 22, 2010 upon the filing of a complaint.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Stacy Dawson Belf and Deborah Johnston, who are prosecuting this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

TOT The Rumor
TOW The Red Sweater
TOW The Videotape
TOW Joey Dates Rachel
TOW Rachel Has A Baby
Plus, it was the season that won the Emmy for Best Comedy.
Best season, the show matured that season, joey and rachael's relationship added new depth to the show. Every single episode was funny and full of magic, also was the season that wan best comedy at the Emmys. Friends is and always be the best sitcom of all time, it is more original and relevant then Seinfeld, and the way it transcended T.V. Into popular culture and defined America in the mid 90's - 2000, broke the mold in what sitcoms were.
Loved this season! Especially TOW Monica's Boots and TOW The Red Sweater! Both are classics!
[newest]Definitely the best season as it helped us find solace from seeing the 9/11 attacks over and over again...it helped us move on...
2Season 5
This season boasted some of the best episodes of any sitcom ever- The One Where Everybody Finds Out, The One With All The Kissing and The One In Vegas especially!
So funny! God, I laughed so hard and cried at the same time when Phoebe gave birth to her brother's kids. Such a touching moment! Also - the start of Monica and Chandler!
I love watching Monica and Chandler sneaking around in this season! It makes for a different twist to the show - a twist that makes you laugh every second!
3Season 2
I actually watched Season 2 even before Season 1 or any other season, and hands down, it's the funniest. The One with the Two Parties and The One with the Bullies - funniest episodes ever!
Ross and Rachel's first Kiss and the Prom Video are two of the three best moments of the series.
The one with the 2 parties, FUNNIEST EPISODE EVER! :D its my favourite episode by far!
4Season 7
I like all the friends series (except for series 6) but series 7 is definitely my favourite! when phoebe starts going 'hee' when ross plays bagpipes, that cracks me up everytime and monica and chandler get married! this has to be the best season ever!
Totally agree TheSudhanva : all seasons have to be seen and are fabulous. You cannot see one of them without seing the all package. But actualy I got that little crush on the 7th because each minute of each episode is just great.
The Ending Was So Shocking! Loved every episode and definitely the right amount of comedy
[Newest]This season is the best.
5Season 3
Ross and Rachel together and when they are broken up you gotta love it. Don't forget the poking device
Hands down the greatest season there was.
Definitely the most eventful season!
6Season 4
The one with the Embryos alone makes this the best season ever. Great plot, great fun, great character developing. Only Emily sucked, but that's probably cause they wanted her to.
This is by far my favorite! All the characters are developed and we see them grow and not just one is focused on. The London episodes are great and no one can deny the OMG moment when Ross says Rachel!
Hands down, best season
Hands down, best season
Awesome season! All the episodes are excellent, and as we look back at this great series this is probably the season when all the character have matured but at the same time young enough. Things like Joey - Chandler roommate awesomeness, development of Mondler when Chandler flirts with Monica and Ross Rachel development. To me season 4 slightly edges out the rest as the best F.R.I.E.N.D. S season of all time!
7Season 10
The end of a great season. By far, the greatest of the FRIENDS sitcom. It leaves the viewer with a grin yet a smile on their face. And even though the viewer knows the show is over, they are left with a feeling that it will never, really end
It was so funny, witty and sarcastic, but it was also heartwarming and awesome. I cry every time I watch the finale.
A heap of good episodes, TOW ross' tan is so funny, and the finale is pretty sad, to see your favourite TV finish.
8Season 1
The first season was the best one because the characters were in the beggining and you had the opportunity to know them all for the first time. They seemed to be much more carefree and young back then.
I remember the first episode. That episode really cracked me up. The first ones are usually the better ones.
All the female characters start to get very annoying in the last few seasons. The earlier stuff is much better.
9Season 6
The best season in my opinion! It was a season with no major plot points until the proposal at the end. You have the 6 friends just being friends. Ross and Rachel's drunken marriage, Joey's hernia, Phoebe's running (my favorite), Thanksgiving with Ross high and the trifle, Monica and Ross doing the routine, Ross doing Unagi, Joey's fridge breaking, Chandler cleaning the apartment, Ross's British accent at NYU... And finishing with the proposal! Easily the best season from start to finish.
Season Six has the funniest episodes. The episode where Chandler cleans the apartment after moving in and tells Monica she can't come in because "Ross is naked" is hilarious. Then there's the episode where Ross puts on a fake British accent when he teaches at NYU. That episode ends with Rachel discovering the two of them are still married which is one of the funniest moments of the show.
This season is so amazing from beginning to end. Ross and Rachel's drunken marriage, Joey's hernia, Phoebe's running, Thanksgiving with Ross high and the trifle, Reese Witherspoon, Ross doing Unagi, Joey's fridge breaking, Ross dating a student, Bruce Willis guest starring, and finally the proposal (one of the best season finale's ever) - it was a fantastic season.
[Newest]I personally love 5 the most with 4 and 6 being the close second and third. I'm voting this because it doesn't deserve to be in the last place.
10Season 9
I ship Gavin with Rachel so much! And I haven't laughed at any other season this hard!

Volunteer Abroad Programs
Volunteering abroad is the best option for meaningful work and service in developing countries or for social causes anywhere
. While some overseas projects cover room and board, and there are some free volunteer programs abroad, most organizations require fees to cover important services and administrative costs, such as health care, housing, food, materials, training, etc. For inexpensive summer work camps or volunteer vacations, generally apply in the Spring. For long-term options, such as the Peace Corps, apply well in advance.
The volunteer organizations below are organized by country and region, and include many
first-hand participant reports
to provide both practical and inspirational perspectives from
experienced volunteers
in order to help you with the all-important research necessary to make an important and likely life-changing decision for everyone concerned.

Become a community coach
Delivering sport and other structured physical activities
Anyone may apply to become a community coach in the Active After-school Communities (AASC) program. These include, but are not excluded to: OSHCS staff, teachers, senior and tertiary students, development officers from national and state sporting organisations, local sporting club members, private providers, parents, guardians, athletes and beginner to professional coaches.
Requirements are:
- Completion of a free Community Coach Training Program;
- Submission of a Probationary registration form; and
- Satisfactory completion of a National criminal history police check/working with children check.
Each semester, schools and Out of School Hours Care Services, identify the types of activities they would like delivered to the children participating within the AASC program. Once these activities have been identified, AASC Regional Coordinators will facilitate links between local sports clubs, community organisations and private providers to identify suitable coaches to meet these needs.
It is important to note, that while regional coordinators will undertake discussions with sites to address program design options, the decision to use, or not to use, trained community coaches is at the discretion of each site.


text: The hamlet of Qaanaaq is home to 650 Greenlandic Inuit people and 3000 husky dogs. In this hospitable community, rich in tradition, you will witness life in the Arctic firsthand. Our Inuit hosts will prepare unique foods native to the area and culture, such as reindeer meat, and arctic char. The spring months are not cold, and with the sun circling above you for almost 24 hours, you will travel with your expedition leader and local guides out to the Qaanaaq ice floe edge, where we will set up camp and wait patiently to view the whales and walrus that are known to frequent this area. We will be accompanying a hunter and looking out for animals and birds from the dogsled — the snowmobile, the vehicle of choice in communities throughout the Arctic, has been banned here, and the traditional ways of dogsledding to hunt and travel from one community to another are still alive. As a guest of the community, you will experience everyday life as it is practiced here in Qaanaaq – from polar bear trousers to squeaking seal skin boots. Our guides are local hunters who honour traditional hunting methods. The view of the bay in front of the settlement is spectacular, filled with large icebergs that have calved from nearby glaciers and become wedged on shallow reefs, providig spectacular views.

PONY Baseball and Softball is proud to present the Champions Division. The new division was hosted by Major League Baseball and debuted at the 2009 All Star game Fanfest activities in St. Louis, Missouri. Abraham Key, President and CEO was present to kick off the activities. This new division was approved by the International Board at its Executive Committee meeting in March and will officially be a part of the 2010 season. It was developed to meet the needs of the physically and mentally handicapped as they pursue their dreams of team sports in one of Americas favorite pastimes. PONY has always participated in promoting the development of this type of league through its Friendship games at tournaments around the world---now the Champions become the official division.
Activities for the members of the Champions Division beginning on Sunday, July 12 included playing at the Americas Center which hosted Fanfest as well as playing one inning game against the Challengers of the Little League program on Monday, July 13. This one inning game, of course, resulted in a tie score. It was a thrill for them to play in Busch Stadium, to see their names in print, and to see themselves on the video screen that showcases some of Busch Stadiums biggest players. Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn was part of the cheering committee and greeted each player as they reached home plate. The Champions Pledge was written and read by Corey Miller, son of Steve Miller. It will become part of the program as it moves forward.
This particular team that represented the Champions was from Herrin, Illinois, and began five years ago with two players and has now grown to more than 35. The group plays every Thursday night and begins in early spring through summer. Steve Miller, PONY Baseball and Softball, North Zone Vice President, and his family began the program after Steve returned from a tournament in Joplin, Missouri for USA Baseball. He could not imagine that the program would not work in southern Illinois and began to contact the local newspapers, television and radio stations looking for players. Three years later, a second team was developed in southern Illinois as well.
PONY will develop and finalize plans for the language and procedures necessary to create these leagues on an international level. Protect Our Nations Youth represents all children and young adults regardless of ability.
Below represents some of the highlights of the weekend. PONY Baseball and Softball are proud to present the Champions!
