Viewing Party Volunteer Leader
Job Description
Volunteer leaders play an important role in encouraging alumni relationships and enhancing and promoting UWAA initiatives in their communities. The goal of alumni events is to help create relationships with alumni so they will participate, volunteer, advocate, donate or connect with the University of Washington. One of the most popular request from alumni are locations for football viewing parties.
Volunteer leaders are recommended to send in their game dates by the suggested due date. Volunteer leaders will also secure a bar/venue and drink specials for guest. A required report of data is due after each game.
Volunteer Benefits
- Recognition as a leader in the UWAA Geographic Program.
- Recognition of being a volunteer leader in the quarterly UWAA Geographic Newsletter.
- Free UWAA t-shirt.
Duties and Responsibilities
Volunteer leaders that choose to put on viewing parties will receive the following support from the UWAA:
- An e-mail blast to the community, alerting alumni about viewing parties in their local area two to three weeks before the first televised game of the Husky football season. In this e-mail, the UWAA will encourage alumni to sign up for communications through their local listserv (see Chapter Listserv Policies) and encourage alumni to check for frequent updates for viewing parties.
- The UWAA will list each viewing party in two (2) different sections of UWalum.com: in the "Cheer" section and on the geographic Web page in the "Meet" section of the Web site.
- The UWAA will send a viewing party kit designed to provide purple and gold flair for the season's parties.
- The UWAA will place an announcement in the September issue of Columns magazine of the locations of each geographic area's viewing parties.
Volunteer leaders will need to provide the following support for viewing parties:
- Establish a location that is conducive to networking. We strongly encourage quality bars, restaurants or other public locations. Negotiating with food and drink specials for alumni is an added incentive for alumni to attend. Communicate these specials to alumni.
- It is important to communicate realistic expectations to establishment owners. It may take a few viewing parties to establish a presence, and participation may wane during losing seasons. Be honest and do not make promises that cannot be kept.
- Often times, locations cannot verify if a game is available for satellite transmission. Generally, the bar will know a week ahead of time if it will be able to air the game.
- Game schedules, including information about which games are televised, are available at www.gohuskies.com. The information on this web page is kept current.
- Geographic locations need to submit their viewing party information by July 15 of each year. Geographic leaders will receive reminder e-mails, geographic e-newsletters and reminders through the Geographic Council phone meetings about this important deadline.
- Attendance at these activities is often tied to the success of the football team. Therefore, if you only select a few viewing parties, try to have the first viewing party at the beginning of the season, when there is still a lot of optimism.
- Often times, geographic locations will choose to do the first game and the Apple Cup, adding more viewing parties as the season progresses.
Establish a permanent location where alumni can count on viewing the game each week. It is important to find a safe and tasteful location that has a dedicated satellite transmission for the game.
Viewing Parties are held during football season.
For more information, please contact the UWAA at 206-543-0540 or email@example.com.

Some people question the usefulness of book trailers. Does it actually help sell books? Do they possess the perfect balance of intrigue and information to make someone go out to their local bookstore or click that "buy" button on their favorite website?
Who knows! What I can tell you is that people seem to love puppies. So when I got the chance to make a book trailer for J. Nichole Smith's new book Puppyhood: Life-sized Portraits of Puppies at Six Weeks Old I knew the perfect diva dog for the role!
Spring is in the air here in New York City! The trees are blooming, the flower boxes are making their way out onto the windowsills, and as the days get longer every park, square and sidewalk has been flooded with cosmopolitan canines from all over the 5 boroughs. So to celebrate the return of some of the cutest residents of our great city, I decided to give you guys a sneak peek into one of our Spring 2012 titles: The French Dog by Rachael Hale (Stewart, Tabori & Chang). Because if I have to be stuck inside while puppies abound all over Manhattan, at least I can look at pictures of dogs in France.
Eli, No! by Katie Kirk (Abrams Books for Young Readers, October 2011) is the story about a very adorable dog named Eli, who likes to get himself into trouble by eating too much, taking up the whole bed, and not always playing nice. His owners are constantly telling him, "Eli, no" as he runs through the house creating chaos, but even at his messiest, they love him very much. This story about unconditional love between dog owners and their pets, written and illustrated by Katie Kirk, is great for even the youngest of readers! In celebration of the publication of this title, some of my colleagues in the Children's Department have shared their own stories about their best friends.
When you've been in publishing and sales as long as I have it's easy to get jaded. Dinner with Ivan Doig, Don Delillo, Barry Moser, Jon Scieszka, Reynolds Price? Sure, I've had the pleasure. Playing piano for Garrison Keillor? I might have been nervous but I did it. Chatting over lunch with Michael Eisner or meeting Bill Bradley or Robert Macneil? Yes, when I was a mere publishing pup.
Which brings me to a more recent thrill, and maybe my biggest ever. Ever since the early days of Saturday Night Live, when I saw a funny, quiet video about dogs playing baseball I've been a fan of William Wegman. I loved the way he combined the beauty of weimeraners, the lovely German hounds, with a great photographic eye and a broad sense of humor to create art that works on many levels. When he started working with puppies he sealed the deal. And since 2002 I've had the pleasure of selling his books and calendars for Abrams. It's been a while since we've done a new book, but every year we do his two calendars, Man's Best Friend and William Wegman's Puppies. He's got a loyal audience and the calendars are fun to sell.

I am just wondering if there is any way to salvage my spirally croton plant. I went on vacation overseas for almost two and a half weeks. I throughly watered all my plants before I left. Since I had only been watering them about once every two weeks this winter and they have been fine with this I figured this would be ok. I had someone house sit and I told them not to water the plants. When I came home some of my house plants have become completly dried out. My croton being one of my favorites seems to be dried down to the soil. I am wondering if there is anything I can try before pitching it. Would cutting it down to the soil help? Its cold here in Michigan and not much sun the last couple days. I have a counter in the livingroom with a florouescent light that I can put the plant under and it will be about 5 inches from the light. Should I try moving it to that location? Any suggestions.. thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did it drop all of its leaves? You could try just watering it again. Start with a small amount of water because the roots are probably dead and you don't want to flood it as such, and after that's dried out, start watering it regularly. It'll probably re-leaf. |
The leaves are still on but the stalks look pretty dry and everything is pretty brittle. I did water it pretty good when I got home because I wanted to act fast. I should have asked first so I will just wait and see. Any idea on the light. Im concerned because its cloudy and not a lot of light comes in by the kitchen window so would the flourescent light help? And for how long each day should I leave the light on? |

Cardarlin, top watering is fine..but I'd have filled up a pail or the sink with water. Then placed the potted Croton inside to moisten soil. Afterwards, 'if done in the sink,' released water stopper, then left the plant to soak up humidity. Wait 15-30 mins, discard excess water. Fertilize w/half-strength once you see new growth. Since you're in z5, place your plant in a very sunny window. Good luck, Toni |

CoffeeShop Vintage Damask Frame 1!
I wanted to make some new vintage photo frames that would be perfect for web posting or printed cards and this is my first one. The CoffeeShop Vintage Damask Frame 1 is a layered .psd image which must be opened in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. The colors are completely adjustable as you can see in the sample below.
This is just one in a series!
Open the frame like any other image. You can change all of the colors by clicking on the color fill layers at 1-4. Drag your image on top (5) and group it with the clipping mask layer and Ctrl-T to fit. You can find a tutorial on using clipping masks here or here. Just flatten the image when you are done.
Download the free CoffeeShop Vintage Damask Frame 1 HERE or HERE!
I just found some of the coolest free fonts at Misprinted Type 4.0. Please check them out! And thank you so much for visiting my blog. :-)

Deploying Debian systems with FAI
Your Own Taste
The files/ directory stores by class all the files that FAI will copy to the target system. The hierarchy below files/ is based on the Debian directory tree. To illustrate this point: If you select the CC_HPCOMPAQ class, you will expect to find the menu.lst file in the client's /boot/grub directory later. For this to happen, you need to copy the contents of menu.lst into the files/boot/grub/menu.lst/CC_HPCOMPAQ/ directory. FAI does not automatically copy user-defined files below files/ to the target system; this only happens if the configuration script contains an fcopy command.
The command
fcopy -iM /boot/grub/menu.lst
copies the GRUB bootloader configuration file menu.lst to the client. It is part of the BC_LINUX class.
The /hooks directory contains programs or scripts for customizing the installation process. Finally, the scripts/ directory contains the scripts that FAI runs during the install. You can easily use fcopy to copy files on the basis of the client class or as a local command with the ${ROOTCMD} command.
In typical Unix style, FAI offers a number of scripting options. Besides legacy shell scripts, FAI will also run Perl or Cfengine scripts. Cfengine is a good choice for modifying configuration files.
After planning, collating, and configuring installation files and scripts, you are finally ready to use FAI to automate the installation process on a large number of computers. The last step is to extend the DHCP and TFTP configurations in a way that will allow the new clients to boot off the network and automatically launch into the FAI installation. To do so, you just need to apply the settings for the first test run. Once the FAI client has completed the installation, it will display a summary onscreen and wait for somebody to press Return to trigger a reboot (see Figure 3).
The FAI deployment framework stores all installation processes in logfiles on the server. If necessary, you can evaluate the files in the /-var/log/fai/ directory and check them for errors.
Remote Control
FAI is a versatile tool for automating the installation of DEB-based Linux distributions. In addition to x86, the automatic installer also supports Sparc and PowerPC architectures. The FAI installation solution is ideal for many situations, from computer clusters to heterogeneous IT infrastructures in enterprises. Once you have negotiated the learning curve, FAI provides a powerful tool capable of automating almost any Debian-based installation.

Kilobots, $130 each
I'm absolutely fascinated by swarm robotics and really want to do a swarm project. These Harvard-developed bots made a big splash when they were introduced and initially billed as "$14 swarmbots." That's what they might cost you in parts if you built them yourself (the plans are available). If you buy them, from K-Team which produces and sells them into the educational/research market, they're $1,300 for a swarm of ten. One of my projects in 2013 is going to be building a couple of these. They're quite ingenious. They use bulk infrared programming — with a programmer that hangs over the swarm — and recharge themselves in a charging pen. How they move is also innovative — three stick-pin legs and pager motors motivate them like a direction-controllable Bristlebot.

On the second day, the six men meet at the same bar for a buffet breakfast of eggs and ham, hot dogs and chicken, rice, yogurt and fruit, sweets, cheese, coffee and juice.
Richard has arranged for five women to meet them this morning.
"Dude, this is so hurting, not at all what I'm used to in Colombia," Bobby says. "I'm going to concentrate on seeing some sights and the houses." In Colombia, there wasn't as much competition, he adds, pointing to the five men now circling two women.
One of those women is Teeraporn, a forty-year-old telephone operator who has a twelve-year-old son and met Richard online. This is her first time on the tour. "I have learned enough about Thai men," Teeraporn says. "Eighty percent of Thai men like to have many, many wife. Selfish."
Many Thai women want a farang because Westerners have more money, she says. It's also difficult being a divorced single mother in Thailand, because Thai men wouldn't give her a chance even if she wanted one.
Ben likes Teeraporn's honesty. "So what do you like to do?" he asks.
"I like to go shopping, but when I have man's money to buy," she replies.
"You must know my daughter," Scooby interjects with a laugh.
Soon everyone piles into three of the women's cars and heads for the Grand Palace, a complex built in 1782 as the king's residence. It also houses the sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha, where Thai people come to pay respect to the Buddha and his teachings. They bow and pray, while the surrounding flowers sweeten the incense-laden air.
The Thai women teach their American companions to bow their heads three times and then pray, hands together.
All of the men but Scooby have a woman on their arms as they stroll the palace grounds, but everyone keeps looking at Bobby's date, a floral arranger named Eve with light skin and high cheekbones. She's 37 but looks much younger, has no children and has never been married -- just like Bobby. She tells Bobby that she has two houses as well as the brand-new, four-door Honda with Hello Kitty paraphernalia inside that they drove to the palace.
The day is hot, so everyone buys mango juice or cold green tea. And despite the "Do not take canoe rides" sign at the palace's exit, they all head over to the canal and get into one of the long wooden canoes powered by engines.
Across the canal, a naked kid squats to pee near a man sleeping on the porch. People wave from the houses perched on stilts over the water, houses that fly both laundry and Thai flags. Some houses have lush gardens and glass windows; others have screenless squares and empty flower pots. A chubby child floats by on an inner tube.
A floating boat store pulls up to the canoe. A woman wearing a hat that looks like a lamp shade sells the canoe crew a couple of beers, and Lee buys a Coke for his date.
Lee's date is 44-year-old Nattamon, who works for her father's company, which produces drinking water. She got divorced four years ago and has two children, ages fourteen and eleven. Lee would prefer a woman without kids, but he's taken a liking to Nat. She gives Lee a kiss on the cheek, and he asks if it's okay if he returns the gesture. She says yes, so he does. He thinks about kissing her on the lips but holds off, worried that it's culturally inappropriate.
Just four women show up at the bar that night, when Richard had expected fourteen.
Panda is just 23, weighs about a hundred pounds and is wearing denim. Lee gets all of her attention. He already knows her name and that of her sister from Richard's website. That scares Panda a bit, but she still listens when Lee talks. She smiles, too, showing a set of braces.
Back home, some of the men on Richard's tours might not get smiled at by a beautiful woman for months on end. But in Thailand, the pretty young Thai woman behind the counter gives a man her undivided attention, even if he's a balding, middle-aged American.
People like Lee can easily mistake the attention for love.
Lee later tells Richard that if he'd just said the word, Panda would have been on the plane back home with him. But then Richard breaks the news that Lee has zero chance with Panda.
The Thai handle everything with a smile, Richard tells the men. Their culture is all about saving face, especially for their guests. He remembers reading a story about how foreigners were disgusted by Thai people smiling as they looked for their dead after the tsunami. Turns out the Thai were just smiling to keep tourists calm.
Thailand is known as the land of smiles.
Lee wakes up at 4 a.m. and grabs Nat's photo from the collection of profiles he printed off Richard's website. He sits in bed, staring at the picture. Nat is the woman he's dreamed of in his sleep for about a month now.

*Taken from Reason. Written by Ronald Bailey.
Climate change politics is very nasty. So nasty, in fact, that the mud started flying even before the start of last week's Sixth International Climate Change Conference (ICCC6) in Washington, D.C. Hosted by the free market Heartland Institute, the conference gathers the world's climate change skeptics and their hetrodox friends—and controversy reliably ensues.
The Prebuttal
The day before the conference started, the left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP) arranged to have a media teleconference [MP3] as a kind of pre-emptive strike. The CAP teleconferencers included Joseph Romm who runs CAP's climate blog, Pacific Institute hydroclimatologist Peter Gleick, and former House Science Committee chair Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY). Romm characterized the ICCC6 as part of "a dwindling number of increasingly vocal people who spread disinformation on climate science and who attack and harass climate scientists."

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Valentine, a Hastings Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Hastings, or seeking a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier puppy from a breeder in Hastings.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hastings already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hastings breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hastings paves the way for another one to be saved.

"My father was an immigrant. He loved this country," said Klein. "He taught me about determination, drive and perseverance, love of learning, pride and humility. Those are great lessons. I hope I can pass them on to my children."
During a luncheon Wednesday in Manhattan that was filled with sentiment and family recollections, Klein, Randy Jackson of "American Idol," former New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds baseball star Paul O'Neill and Mark Shriver, vice president and managing director of U.S. programs for Save the Children, were honored as Fathers of the Year by The National Father's Day Council. The event, held at the Marriott Marquee, drew 850 people and raised $575,000, plus more from a silent auction, for Save the Children. Klein, a father of three, also received the 2008 Milton Margolis Humanitarian Award.
"My father was my hero and my mentor as a baseball player," said O'Neill. "We had such a bond." Two of his children work at an orphanage in Mexico. "You know you've done something right when your kids jump on a plane and are eager to help other kids." As an athlete, O'Neill added, "You don't get too many awards outside athletics that mean something."
"If my Dad was alive and here, he'd say, 'Yeah, dude. You finally made it,'" Jackson said. "This would be his proudest moment."
"I honestly don't think there is a more important job than being a father," said Shriver, whose father, Sargent Shriver, led the Peace Corps and years ago was also a Father of the Year. The elder Shriver is now battling Alzheimer's.
"He always seemed to be there at home. He never raised his voice and he went to Mass every day," said Shriver.
Also, Murray Day, a general manager of a Honda dealership in San Bernardino, Calif., was honored as the All-Star Dad based on an essay written by his stepdaughter Celina Lopez, one of thousands submitted as part of a contest sponsored by the National Father's Day Committee, Best Life Magazine and the Sani Family Foundation. To date, the Father's Day/Mother's Day Council has donated nearly $20 million to charities, including more than $3.5 million in 2007, and close to $1 million for Save the Children.

Teen Accidentally Shot by His Friend
--5712 21st Avenue South. Around 9:30 this morning, Willie Ellis (14) of St. Petersburg was visiting a friend, Sean Campbell (13), at his house in Gulfport. Ellis was showing off a .357 magnum revolver when he accidentally fired the gun, striking Campbell in the chest and arm.
Campbell was taken to Bayfront Medical Center for treatment, but his injury did not appear to be life threatening. Police recovered the gun, as well another one Ellis had brought to the house, and are currently investigating to find out how and where he got them in the first place.
No adults were in the house at the time of this incident, but all parents have been notified. At this point, there have been no arrests or criminal charges filed, but police will discuss the case with the State Attorney's Office before making a final determination.
Updated 6/27/08
A third firearm--another revolver--has been found in this case. Information is so far indicating that the guns involved did not come from the parents of either juvenile. The serial numbers for the guns are not in the national database, so detectives will be communicating with other local agencies to review recent cases of gun thefts, especially those in which victims may not have provided serial numbers to police when making the reports. Additionally, police will ask the Bureau of Alcohol and Firearms to conduct a trace on each firearm, identifying the point of initial sale in the United States. The guns are reputable brands (Beretta, Ruger, Smith & Wesson) which are not commonly traded among juvenile gang members, so police are considering the possibility that they were stolen very recently.
Updated 6/30/08
Detectives have learned that the guns may have been stolen when Campbell accompanied his mother as she worked cleaning a house in Tierra Verde. The homeowner did not notice the guns missing until he was alerted by police. Pinellas County Sheriff's Office investigators will review the circumstances to determine what, if any, criminal charges may be filed related to the theft of the guns or the child's access to them. The Sheriff's public information office can be reached at 582-6221.

World War One was a hinge moment in our culture. History has certain hinge moments, that come unexpectedly, but that change everything once they occur. Imagine a man attempting to walk a straight path on a fog covered road. He has to look down to see the road, and to see his feet, and to be sure that he has not gone off course. At some point he comes to a fork in the road, but so caught up is he in simply keeping his feet straight and on the path, that he doesn't even recognize the choice he's been forced to make. He takes one path instead of another. The path that will make all the difference.
Before the year 1911 western civilization had been enjoying a century of relative peace, during which prosperity greatly increased and scientific knowledge took leaps and bounds. After the year 1911, western civilization, and the entirety of the world, entered a dangerous new chapter. It might be said that World War One broke Europe. The countries involved in that war would certainly never be the same again. A new menace of totalitarianism emerged from the wreckage and the new technology developed by western science showed that it could be a menace just as much as a cure. In a single day, during the Battle of the Somme, Great Britain lost 19,200 men, most in the first hour. The sheer loss of life that the participants in World War One experienced in such a short period of time was something dreadfully new and unprecedented.
The confidence of the collective culture was shattered. This does not mean that western culture stopped, or that it was ruined. On the contrary, some of our greatest works of art were created during this crisis of confidence. The desperation and danger that many felt following World War One caused them to create works of great beauty and lasting value. One need look no further than the English language itself for the perfect example of what kind of new culture emerged out of the battlefields of France.
Prior to 1914 and World War One, the English language had been a language of long sentences and stately prose. Writers like Charles Dickens and G.K. Chesterton mastered the long form with eloquent balance. Their sentences flowed in a smooth rhythm across the page. They would have perfect introductions, that naturally led into further expositions, followed by neat summaries. This is not to say that all good writers sounded alike, but they all followed a certain style template that had been first set down by writers like Samuel Johnson during the 17'th century.
After World War One, two great writers helped to break this mold and changed the language, the way most English speakers speak and write. Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce, an American and an Irishman, created a new and very different prose style than that which had been developed originally in England.
Hemingway used short choppy sentences that broke their rhythm to make you notice them. He wrote ambiguous paragraphs that left their final point and meaning up to the reader. His writing was sharp and extremely informal whenever possible. His language sounded like the new dangerous modern world that was revealed by the battlefields of World War One. His sentences were like telegraph messages and newspaper headlines, quick and to the point.
James Joyce followed Hemingway in the new sentence form, but used it to write about subjects that had never been written about before. He explored the inner lives of his characters, attempting to write their inner monologues, and reveal a world more confusing than traditional prose would allow. He played with the boundary between prose and poetry and made his work experimental in the same way that the new science was.
Both of these artists and their many imitators created a style that has filtered down into almost everything you'll ever read. From the regular magazine article, to the prose in a novel, their style is now the rule rather than the exception. Many times the early modernists that came after World War One are seen as simply oddities, that came and then were gone. The example of Hemingway and Joyce show otherwise.
The culture that you live and breath was created in large part shortly after World War One, by a handful of artists and the many people that they influenced. They were reacting to a tragedy and trying to make sense of life in the wake of so much death. There can be little doubt, that if World War One had not occurred, much would be very different about the work they created and the world that absorbed it.

You shouldn't write the people who wrote the things about World War One like books .you should include how World War One become a turning point for women's equality , and did it happen in in other countries too for women.

This is just a response to 'Hey' who commented above. This article is based on the cultural effects that the war had in terms of different mediums of art, such as the author's references to Hemingway and Joyce. Women's rights underwent great, positive developments in the
0th century, but that's not what the author is writing about, or trying to convey in their article.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mr. Pickles!
Facts about Mr. Pickles
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Mr. Pickles's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, declawed, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
I am an only child. My mom got real sick and could not keep me.
FOLLOW MY BLOG @ http://feliciasfosterkitties.blogspot.com/ I have been an very spoiled only child all my life. My world has been turned upside down and I don't quite know how to handle it. One day, I was home with my mom and all was normal and the next, I find myself in a cage in a strange place with no one I know. HELP!!
I was actually born in a pickle factory here in Fort Worth. That is where my name comes from. I was taken in my a really nice lady who had no idea she would become ill and not be able to take care of me any more. It broke both our hearts.
Won't you please come and rescue me from this mess that I am in through no fault of my own. I just need a second chance...............
Other Pets at Buddies Place Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mr. Pickles, a Arlington Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Arlington, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Arlington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Arlington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Arlington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Arlington paves the way for another one to be saved.

Producer: Statistics Finland
Homepage: http://
Main topic: Prices and Costs
Related topics: National AccountsIncome and
Official Statistics of Finland (OSF): Yes
European Statistical System (ESS): No
The Consumer Price Index describes the price development of goods and services purchased in Finland by households resident in Finland. The Consumer Price Index is calculated with a method in which the prices of different commodities are weighed together with their shares of consumption. The calculation of the index follows Laspeyres' price index formula whereby the shares of consumption used as the weights relate to the base period. The Consumer Price Index is used as a general measure of inflation. Consumer price indices that are reviewed at intervals of a fixed number of years are suitable for short-term examinations.
The Cost-of-living Index 1952:10=100 is a long time series calculated from the latest Consumer Price Index (currently consumer price index 2005=100) and its development, therefore, follows the Consumer Price Index. Many rents, such as those on dwellings, business premises or land, are usually tied to the Cost-of-living Index. From the user's point of view, the Cost-of-living Index is the most practical, because index revisions do not interrupt the series and the point figures of the Cost-of-living Index are published monthly at the same time as the Consumer Price Index.
In addition to their national consumer price indices, the Member States of the European Union also produce the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), from which Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, calculates the European Index of Consumer Prices and the Monetary Union Index of Consumer Prices. Calculation of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices is guided by EU Regulations. The main purpose for which the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices is used is inflation comparison between the EU countries. The European Central Bank uses the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices as the measure of inflation in its monetary policy. The Finnish Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices is mainly based on the same price data and national accounts data as the Finnish national Consumer Price Index. The development of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices, however, deviates from that of the national Consumer Price Index, because it includes fewer commodities. In the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices consumption does not include owner-occupancy, lottery, betting and gambling, interest rates or fiscal charges. Its coverage of the national Consumer Price Index is therefore slightly less than 90 per cent.
In addition, Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices at Constant Taxes (HICP-CT) is produced. The inflation measured by consumer price index consists mainly of products and services priced by enterprises and the public sector, and value added and commodity taxes. Some 25 per cent of the private consumption at a value of around EUR 61 billion described by the HICP consists of value added or other taxes. The index at constant taxes is based on the HICP so the two indices have the same weight structure and price data. The index at constant taxes is calculated with a method which holds the tax rate constant relative to the reference period. If there have been no changes in taxes, the indices show the same development. When tax changes take place, the impact of the tax change on commodity prices is eliminated from the index at constant taxes. The price impact of the tax changes is obtained by comparing the development of the HICP and HICP-CT.
The Consumer Price Index describes changes in consumer prices according to the consumption structure of an average household. It comprises the price development of the overall index, commodity groups and 497 commodities. Data on an individual data outlet are confidential and are not released in identifiable form to parties outside Statistics Finland. Detailed data on the commodities on which data are collected are also confidential.
The Cost-of-living Index describes changes in consumer prices according to the consumption structure of an average household. It comprises the price development of the overall index and six sub-categories.
The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices describes changes in consumer prices according to the consumption concept and calculation methods harmonised within the EU. It is based on the price data collected for the Consumer Price Index but is less exhaustive in coverage; e.g. interest rates and most of the costs of owner-occupied dwellings are excluded from the harmonised index. The index comprises and overall index and approximately 100 sub-indices by commodity group.
The Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP) is used in the Consumer Price Index and the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices. The classification has been confirmed with Council Regulation (EC) No 2214/96.
NUTS 2 is used as the regional classification in the Consumer Price Index.
Each mid-month, Statistics Finland's interviewers collect around 52,000 prices from approximately 2,700 outlets for the indices. The outlets included in the collection are drawn partly by random sampling and partly by judicious sampling. In addition, price data are gathered by centralised collection by Statistics Finland. Price data are gathered also from other statistics, such as Statistics Finland's statistics on the rents of dwellings, statistics on real estate prices, the Real Estate Price Index and the Building Cost Index. The National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and Health, the Social Insurance Institution and certain other authorities also produce data for the Consumer Price Index.
The indices are published on the 14th day of the month following the statistical reference month. If the day concerned falls on a weekend or a public holiday, the statistics are published on the weekday nearest to it.
The preliminary Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices data for the euro area are published on the Eurostat's Internet pages a few days after the end of the statistical reference month. Eurostat published the final detailed data by country in its own release generally some days after the national day of publication.
The Consumer Price Index is available by the COICOP classification since 1995 and by the old classification since 1981.
The Cost-of-living Index has been calculated monthly since 1951. Data are available from 1914 onwards by special order.
Data on the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices are available from 1996 onwards.

Field Report: Burk Watchband
Multiple uses
I have installed three units and use them every week to listen to our stations, monitor for dead air and monitor our AMs when power level changes occur. The programming department uses it to listen to our stations, critique announcers and listen to the competition. Tony Gervasi, senior VP of engineering and technology for Nassau Broadcasting, was so impressed with the unit's performance in our Vermont region that we are now rolling the units out in our clusters from Maine through Maryland.
A single Watchband receiver allows the user to monitor multi-channels one at a time. However, if a second receiver is connected to the Watchband server it can monitor multiple signals at the same time.
Watchband is the perfect answer for out-of-market monitoring with some powerful tools to monitor and create custom reports giving you the information you need for compliance monitoring.

Students Participate in WV-INBRE Symposium
Wednesday, August 7th, 2013
Recently, eight West Virginia Wesleyan College students traveled to Marshall University in Huntington, WV, to present their research at the 12th Annual WV-INBRE Summer Research Symposium of the West Virginia IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence.
Students presented poster presentations on their research. Participating students were Caleb Judy of Beverly, WV and Jillian Teubert of Lewisburg, WV presenting on the characterization of putative shape determining genes mreB and mreC in the Lyme Disease spirochete borrelia burgadorferi; Victoria Moser-Cartagena of Miami, FL presenting on the alcohol induced cell cycle changes in G1-S phase transition in rat neuronal embryonic dorsal root ganglion stem cells; Colin Winkie of Bridgeport, WV presenting on the potential of amino acid nanoparticles as a form of drug delivery; and Haven Clay of Huntington, WV, Notashia Baughman of Fenwick, WV, Patrick Milkowski from Erie, PA, and Jared Rock of Buckhannon presenting on the extraction and isolation of phytoalexin from Centaurea nigrescens exhibiting inhibitory action against Staphylococcus aureus.
For one student, the symposium helped her gain the confidence she needed in her field.
"The INBRE Symposium was a great learning experience," stated Moser-Cartagena. "I not only learned from other's research, but I had the opportunity to share my own. I was a little intimidated at first, but this experience taught me to believe in myself. I am very grateful for Dr. Anthony for believing in me when I thought it would be too much."
But for Judy, the WV-INBRE experience was a chance to network with other researchers in his field.
"The INBRE symposium was a fantastic experience," Judy said. "I made many good connections with fellow researchers and, more importantly, mentors of other research projects. It has given me a broadened perspective of how important research is no matter the subject."
All participating researchers are students of Dr. Katharine Lambson, Dr. Luke Huggins, Dr. Melanie Sal, and Dr. Bruce Anthony. Zachery Lonergan of Elkins, WV and Alexandra Roberts of Bradenton, FL assisted with the research but were not present at the symposium.
For more information on West Virginia Wesleyan College's School of Science, contact Director Dr. Luke Huggins at (304) 473-8097 or email@example.com.

Turner has me in its hold this month. The mere idea of a weeklong Doris Day marathon is catnip for me. Every night during the first week of April, starting at 8 p.m. each night, we get Doris and only Doris.Star of the Month: Doris Day
Turner will be screening 28 titles - including two with Rod Taylor and two with James Garner - but the biggest attraction for me will be its showing of David Miller's "Midnight Lace" (1960), which for some bizarre reason has evaded DVD release to date, on April 4 @ 8 p.m. Charles Vidor's "Love Me or Leave Me" (1955) - airing @ 8 p.m. on April 6 - runs a close second in the must-see category.
If I had to pick one night, however, for my Doris binge, it would be April 5. Starting @ 8 p.m., Turner serves up: Charles Walters' "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" (1960) (to be encored on April 17 @ 12:45 p.m.); Norman Jewison's "The Thrill of It All" (1963); Frank Tashlin's "The Glass Bottom Boat" (1966); Richard Quine's "It Happened to Jane" (1959), and David Butler's "April in Paris" (1952).
Conspicuously missing are George Seaton's "Teacher's Pet" (1958), which has always been a Turner staple, and Stanley Donen and George Abbott's "The Pajama Game" (1957), which features one of Day's most feminist performances and, oddly, has never been on the Turner menu. Tragic.
Lillian Hellman's play about two spinster sisters who have been supporting their loser brother through several failed business ventures opened February 25th, 1960 at the Hudson Theatre and ran for 456 performances. Maureen Stapleton and Irene Worth played the sisters; Jason Robards was their brother, and Rochelle Oliver played his young wife.
Arthur Penn directed.
The 1963 film version starred Geraldine Page and Wendy Hiller as sisters Carrie and Anna Berniers, respectively; Dean Martin as their brother Julian, and Yvette Mimieux as his bride. The great Gene Tierney played the role that won Anne Revere as Tony for the stage version.
James Poe adapted the Hellman play for director George Roy Hill, helming his second film here, following his 1962 debut with the adapation of another play - "Period of Adjustment," the Tennessee Williams comedy he directed on Broadway (and which is screening on a day devoted to Williams film adaptations; see Façade directly below). Hill's next film was 1964's delightful "The World of Henry Orient" (which Hill would eventually direct as a stage musical, "Henry, Sweet, Henry") and, of course, he became a major player with 1969's "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."
"Toys in the Attic" is a talky to-do - but what talk! - about an unusually dysfunctional and repressed family unraveling. In short, a wonderful afternoon at the theater.
Joshua Logan's "Tall Story" (1960) April 4 @ 4:45 p.m.
George Marshall's "The Happy Thieves" (1962) April 7 @ 2 a.m.
Henry Koster's "A Man Called Peter"(1955) April 9 @ 4:15 a.m.
John Brahm's "Hot Rods to Hell" (1967) April 18 @ 4:30p.m.

Richard Brooks' "Sweet Bird of Youth" (1962) and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958)
Elia Kazan's "Baby Doll" (1956)
Tennessee Williams receives arguably his best screen adaptation ever in Richard Brooks' version of "Sweet Bird of Youth," with Paul Newman as hustler Chance Wayne, a scam artist who returns to his hometown with desperate, aging movie queen Alexandra Del Lago - played by Geraldine Page - in tow. Chance Wayne and Alexandra Del Lago - what marvelous names!
Newman and Page reprised their Broadway roles for Brooks' adaptation. Ed Begley won an Oscar for his performance as the town boss.

Mark Robson's "Peyton Place" (1957)
David Swift's "Love Is a Ball"(1962), one of two films that Lange made with her then-lover Glenn Ford (the other being Frank Capra's "Pocketful of Miracles"); "Love Is a Ball" was made under the title "The Grand Duke and Mr. Prim."
Shirley MacLaine / April 24, starting @ 11:30 a.m.:
Robert Wise's "Two for the Seesaw" (1962)
Charles Walters' "Two Loves" (1961), which is also a cinema obscura.
Vincente Minnelli's "Some Came Running" (1958)
Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" (1960)
A trio of idiosyncratic winners airs on April 10, starting @ 10:15 p.m.:
Georges Franju's "Eyes Without a Face" (1960), compulsively creepy and complusively watchable.
Mike Hodges' "Get Carter" (1971)
Bruce Robinson's "Withnail & I" (1987)
David Greene's "Godspell" (973) April 8 @ 7:30 a.m.:
David Greene's refreshingly miminalist 1973 film version of John Michael Tebelak's Carnegie-Mellon student project/off-Broadway curiosity, "Godspell," is airing as Turner Classic Movies' Easter morning special and it remains as youthful and fresh as ever, even though it is now, unbelievably, 39-years-old. (Other Turner holiday fare for the day ranges from Charles Walters' quaint tuner, "Easter Parade," to Richard Fleischer's arty epic, "Barabbas.")
"Godspell," which was the "Glee" of its day, is Tebelak's witty take on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, fortified by a remarkable score by Stephen Schwartz, and its in-your-face religiosity remains as charming - and as charmingly inoffensive - as it was back in '73. (Did I say "witty"? Yes. Remember, the Canadian production featured such Second City stalwarts as Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin.)
Even though time, strangely enough, has not aged "Godspell, the film is now tinged with a certain melancholy, largely because so many of its contributors are now gone. Greene died in 2003 after directing some 80 projects, including two of my favorite Guilty Pleasures, "The People Next Door" (1970), which he had previously directed for television, and "Hard Country" (1981) which introduced Kim Basinger in a smashing early role.
Tebelak passed in 1985 at the age of 36.
Arguably sadder, however, is the realization of the fading of the movie's most companionable young cast. The commanding David Haskell, who plays John the Baptist and Judas and seemed to come with such promise, died of brain cancer in 2000, his career sadly cut short; the versatile Lynn Thigpen died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 2003; Jeffrey Mylett died of AIDS in 1986, and Merrell Jackson, so sweet in his heart-rending version of ""All Good Gifts," died young in 1991 of undisclosed causes.
All but one of the surviving cast members seemingly left show business after the film, the exception being Victor Garber, who plays the film's most ethereal Jesus and who has become one of our more reliable and recognizable characters actors. Incidentally, this role was played on Broadway by Don Scardino who is now a producer and the house director of NBC's "30 Rock" and by, yes, Jeremy Irons in the 1973 London production that played the Wyndham Theatre. (The role of Jesus was created off-Broadway by Stephen Nathan, who went on to do the films "The First Nudie Musical" and "You Light Up My Life" and who is now a producer-writer, mostly in television.)
This time out, in addition to Schwartz's most hummable score, savor the inventive choreography of Sammy Bayes, particularly his rousing staging of Thigpen's "Bless the Lord" number, and the hands-down show-stopper, "All for the Best," which culminates atop the World Trade Center, which was under construction at the time. More melancholy.
Thirty-nine years. A lifetime.
Alan J.bPakula's "The Sterile Cuckoo" (1969) April 13 @ 2 a.m. (with a most affecting Liza)
Paul Wendkos' "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" (1961) Apri 17 @ 9:45p.m. (Love it!)
Kinji Fukasaku's "The Green Slime" April 21 @ 3:30 a.m. (which is exactly as its title implies)
grand illusions
Be sure to pencil in three really nifty musicals - Leslie Kardos' "Small Town Girl"(1953), April 12 @ 9:15 a.m.; Stanley Donen's "Give a Girl a Break"(1953), April 13 @ 12:30 p.m., and Jean Negulesco's "Daddy Long Legs" (1955) April 20 @ midnight - as well as a genuine curiosity, Robert Parrish's turgid "Fire Down Below"(1957) April 24 @ 6 a.m., with Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth and, yes, Jack Lemmon.

Cytogenetics (prenatal and fetal)
Last updated: Monday, 06, August, 2007
MBS Online Search Page: Click here for details
Item | Process |
Specimen | Consult pathologist prior to specimen collection. All specimens must be delivered immediately to the laboratory. Chorionic villus sampling (CVS): 5-15 mg of tissue in a sterile container with tissue culture medium. Amniotic fluid: 20 mL of amniotic fluid collected into 2 x 10 mL sterile containers. If foetal death in utero has occurred: foetal tissue (especially cartilage or cord) collected aseptically and placed in sterile saline or tissue culture medium. |
Method | Direct, short term and/or long term cultures are used depending on clinical requirements. Results may take from 2 days to 3 weeks for completion. T he type and duration of culture vary for the indication and specimen type. Cytogenetic harvesting, slidemaking, banding and karyotyping are performed on all specimens. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) on metaphase spreads may increase the accuracy of cytogenetic diagnoses in some situations. |
Application | Pregnancies at risk include: Investigation is also appropriate if abnormalities are detected on ultrasound or identified after delivery and following unexplained stillbirth or neonatal death. |
Interpretation | Findings are reported in terms of numerical and/or structural chromosome abnormalities (eg, deletions, translocations) - consult pathologist. |

3 Reasons Your Home Needs a Wet Bar
Categories: Minneapolis Plumbing
Functional, fun, formal—however you justify them, wet bars are awesome. A McAlister plumber can easily assist in the design and installation of yours. Many people wonder if they should get a wet bar. We think it better to wonder where to put one.
Here's why:
- Class. Entertaining guests, having friends over to watch the game, or inviting neighbors over for dinner has an added panache when you can offer drinks and hors d'oeuvres directly from your wet bar. Pull a perfectly chilled bottle of wine from a mini-fridge. Add a splash of water to your bourbon and serve charcuterie on a granite countertop. Voila! you're the most popular dinner host in town.
- Convenience. Instead of carrying a tray of drinks downstairs, serve them directly from your wet bar. Instead of setting up card tables to hold plates of appetizers, serve them at the wet bar. Instead of hauling dishes to the kitchen, wash them in the wet bar sink. Notice a pattern? Wet bars are easy to install and easy to use. They can also serve as an added food prep space, giving you a less cluttered kitchen. Counter space can be valuable real estate when entertaining guests, or hosting your family for the holidays.
- Value. Remodeling projects for your home have double benefits: you get to enjoy them and they add value to your home. A professionally designed and installed wet bar has the dual benefit of being attractive and being an investment. You can reduce the cost of installation by choosing your location wisely. Find areas where pipes and drain systems are nearby.
A finished basement is a typical place for a wet bar, but you can put one anywhere in your home. Don't let convention limit your imagination. The appeal of a heated garage, a game room or an attic apartment can all be dialed up with a wet bar.
Wet bars also add form and function when:
- your game room or entertaining space is on a different floor of your home than your kitchen.
- you want a space to keep drinks cool without taking up refrigerator space in your kitchen.
- you entertain large groups of guests
- you want a space outside of your kitchen for added countertops, a refrigerator for ice and keeping drinks cold, a microwave for cooking, and a sink for water and washing
Additional tips:
- Place a single-wall wet bar in front of a window with a view. The natural light will flatter the construction and the view will draw guests to gather.
- Adding shelving above your wet bar is an excellent way to add some extra storage in your home.
- Complement your home's architecture with a floor-to-ceiling wet bar.
