Financial Suicides
- Economy
The enormity of the global financial crisis—the worst since the Great Depression—means that no one has escaped unscathed. As banks collapse, homes foreclose, and lifetime investments dissolve, the toll of the failing economy has become tremendous, pushing some to take the most extreme of measures. In February, with the number of suicides related to the financial crisis mounting, VF Daily documented, in chronological order, how some of the tragedies unfolded. In light of today's news of the apparent suicide of Freddie Mac's acting-C.F.O., David Kellermann, we updated the list.October 2007
The total percentage of loans in the foreclosure process hits a record high of 1.69 percent.

Even though I was a k-pop and Girls' Generation fan, I was really surprised that Girls' Generation was on the Letterman Show and Regis & Kelly. I had no idea that they were this popular in New York and the US. At first, I thought that success in the US was too overwhelming because stars like BoA and Se7en did not have much success there. Now, with the rise of Girls' Generation and Wonder Girls in US, the landscape of American music in the future might change significantly as it may also include k-pop artists in mainstream Pop music. Check out my k-pop blog at: http://www.kpopcraze.com
SM Entertainment artists are really doing well these days. If this article was posted today, I bet Taetiseo (Twinkle) or f(x) (Electric Shock) would be #1. Then again, Big Bang could easily be # 1 with Monster MV. Anyway, great post from a non-kpop site. This comment is from the blogger at: http://www.kpopcraze.com.

That is the conclusion of Penn State political scientists Eric Plutzer and Michael B. Berkman, authors of "Evolution, Creationism, and the Battle to Control American Classrooms." The book is based on their survey of 926 public high school biology teachers.
The authors say they uncover evidence that creationism is "surprisingly resilient" in many biology classrooms in America, and that science and the scientific method are being systematically undermined.
"We find that about 13 percent of public high school biology teachers are active advocates for creationism or Intelligent Design," Plutzer tells Templeton Report, whose grant supported the book's writing.
"They emphasize to their students that these are 'valid scientific alternatives' to mainstream evolutionary biology and devote at least some formal class instruction to the topic. An additional 5 percent of teachers take the same position, though typically in brief responses to student questions."
Plutzer says he and Berkman find that "active proponents of creationism as science can be found in every state, even in fairly cosmopolitan school districts."
Why is the teaching of creation so "surprisingly resilient" in schools when the theory of evolution is more widely promoted? If evolutionary biology was an indisputable fact, why would a number of biology teacher's across the country insist on teaching Intelligent Design to their students?
Could it be because the evidence leans more toward creation than blind chance for all the life reproducing on this planet? If the theory of evolution was completely sound there should be no biochemists to argue against it.
Yet, Michael J. Behe, a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, asserts that "Cells are simply too complex to have evolved randomly; intelligence was required to produce them."
In an interview released in September 2006, Behe said, "The conclusion of design is not due to ignorance. It's not due to what we don't know; it's due to what we know. When Darwin published his book 'The Origin of the Species' 150 years ago, life seemed simple.
"Scientists thought that the cell was so simple that it might just spontaneously bubble up from sea mud. But since then, science has discovered that cells are enormously complex, much more complex than the machinery of our 21st-century world. The functional complexity bespeaks purposeful design."
Behe's 1996 book, "Darwin's Black Box — The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution," has left evolutionary scientists scrambling to counter the arguments he raised.
As part of her education in biology, Paula Kincheloe spent four years focusing on just the cell and its components. Now that she has spent years as a researcher in the fields of cell and molecular biology and microbiology at Emory University in Atlanta, Kincheloe has come to a startling conclusion.
"The more I learned about DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolic pathways, the more amazed I became with the complexity, organization, and precision involved," she said. "The obvious design evident in the cell is one reason I believe in God."
If evolution was scientific fact, how do we account for these learned individuals believing in a Creator? Kincheloe said she "concluded that the Bible's account of creation is accurate and does not conflict with true science."
Enrique Hernandez-Lemus, a theoretical physicist working at the National University of Mexico, said, "The mathematical probability of the random generation of a single chromosome is less than 1 in 9 trillion, an event so unlikely that it can be considered impossible. I think it is nonsense to believe that unintelligent forces could create not just a single chromosome but all the amazing complexity present in living beings."
Could such comments by other scientists who dismiss evolution be one reason why it is being undermined in American classrooms? Ask yourself: What takes greater faith — to believe that millions of intricately coordinated parts of a cell came about by accident or to believe the cell is a product of intelligent Creation? Either version requires faith, but only one version can be true.
People are born yearning for truth. When they hear it, it feels right. Proven science shows life comes from life. The Bible says all life originates with God. What feels right to you?
As Psalm 139:16 says of God, "Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing, as regards the days when they were formed and there was not yet one among them." — New World Translation.
For me, creation is in a class all by itself.

Mar 29th 2012 11:19AM Personally, I wouldn't mind a slight update.
Give 'em a few more polygons, and fix the hair styles to be more like the styles for the pandaren, or goblins. (I'd kill to have one of those new 'do's for my little gnome rogue)

Peter Paul Rubens, draftsman; Paulus Pontius, draftsman Flemish, about 1624 Black chalk, touches of red chalk, pen and brown ink, and brown and gray wash, heightened with white and gray gouache and oil paint; incised for transfer 25 7/8 x 16 15/16 in. 98.GG.14
When Peter Paul Rubens decided to have an engraving made after his 1618 altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin, a young member of his studio, Paulus Pontius, made a detailed drawing of the painting in black chalk. Scholars believe that little evidence of Pontius's design remains. Rubens extensively reworked the drawing, probably in an effort to instruct Pontius on how to make good engravings after his paintings, an activity that Rubens considered very important. The young Pontius went on to become one of the most successful interpreters of Rubens's work through engravings.

Our Project
Integration of Roma populations is the focus of our Roma-Net project. The common challenge of our partnership is how to overcome negative attitudes, how to improve consultation and engagement with the Roma community.
Despite efforts at local, national and European levels Roma populations continue to face high levels of social exclusion and poverty. Partners of the project believe that integration of Roma populations is a key factor in a cohesive society, as well as in delivering the goals of the Lisbon Strategy.
The Roma-Net partners have a united desire to share expertise and to spread good practices in the hope that it will improve local policy development and deliver capabilities for stronger community cohesion between Roma and their neighbouring communities accross the whole citiy.
An overarching objective of our partnership of nine European cities is to inform and support our City partners to develop local action plans that facilitate better services, through improved access and integrated approach, to support the social inclusion of young Roma and their transition into active adult citizens.
Change comes from step-by-step inclusive approach. As Roma-Net partners, young adults will motivate positive change and provide insight into the barriers and challenges caused by social exclusion.
Throughout Europe the Roma population is composed of many communities differentiated by settlement models, culture and religion, legal status, language and periods of migration. Across Europe Roma experience greater social exclusion than the majority populations, especially in accessing employment, education, health and social services. Roma populations present high rates of illiteracy and poor school attendance of many children. Roma populations often live in segregated, isolated districts where living conditions are poor with problems of extreme overcrowding and a lack of basic facilities all of which contribute to and aggravate their poor health condition.
Key point of focus
Addressing the problems which affect Roma communities is increasingly recognised as extremely urgent in both ethical and practical terms. The European Union recognises that there is a need for more active and effective policies concerning Roma inclusion. Local level and cities have a crucial role to play in this field.
The ROMA-Net project will focus on three sub-themes:
– Active community engagement/ empowerment
– Integrated and area based approach to tackling exclusion and segregation
– Building a transitional labour market
A word from the lead partner
What motivates Budapest to be part of the URBACT adventure?
The city's engagement in Roma policy dates back ten years. Our mid- and long-term urban development programmes pay special attention to regeneration and integrated urban development of areas with Roma population, we prepared a local equal opportunity action plan in 2009. The city already supports a number of initiatives and services under the sub-theme active inclusion of Roma into the labour market through education and training. We feel that a lot can be done in other fields and that we will learn from other cities especially: how other European cities support the Roma ethnic minority in preserving their cultural identity; how to carry out an effective and feasible Roma Programme; how the mainstreaming of Roma policy into the different policies can be best done and how to apply an integrated approach and reach effective solutions by harmonising separate efforts.
Who would you like to benefit from the work achieved in your project?
First of all the whole Roma community of the City. Secondly, we hope that the experience gained by civil servants and other players involved in designing and implementing the Local Action Plan during the implementation of the project, will contribute to an increased knowledge and human capacity in the cities involved. We also hope that the experience gained through the trans-national exchange will lead to a real change at local level and will lead to the effective and successful integration of Roma population.

A grenade launcher or grenade discharger is a weapon that launches a grenade with more accuracy, higher velocity, and to greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand. Grenade launchers can either come in the form of standalone weapons (either single-shot or repeating) or attachments mounted under the barrel of a rifle. Some rifles have been designed to fire rifle grenades, either from their muzzle or from a detachable muzzle-mounted launcher. Larger grenade launchers may be mounted on vehicles.
Carl Gustav recoilless rifle (M2GC): The basic weapon consists of the main tube with the breech-mounted Venturi recoil damper, with two grips near the front and a shoulder mount. The weapon is fitted with iron sights, but is normally aimed with the attached 3x optical sight with a 17 degree (300 mrad) field of view. Luminous front and rear sight inserts are available for the iron sights when aiming at night, and an image intensification system may also be used. The Carl Gustav can be fired from the standing, kneeling, sitting or prone positions and a bipod may be attached in front of the shoulder piece. An operating handle called the "Venturi lock" is used to move the hinged breech to one side for reloading. The weapon is normally operated by a two-man crew, one carrying and firing the weapon, the other carrying ammunition and reloading.
Mk 19 grenade launcher: The Mk 19 is a belt fed, blowback operated, air cooled, crew served, fully automatic weapon that is designed not to cook off. It fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained). The weapon operates on the blowback principle, which uses the chamber pressure from each fired round to load and re-cock the weapon. The Mk 19 is able to launch its grenade at a maximum distance of 2,212 meters, though its effective range for a point target is about 1,500 meters, since the large rear leaf sight is only graduated to 1,500 meters. The nearest safe distance to launch the grenade is 310 meters in training and 75 meters in combat. Though the Mk 19 has a flash suppressor, it serves only to save the eyesight of its operator; it does not conceal the weapon's position. For night operation, an AN/TVS-5 night vision sight can be fitted.
RPG-7: The launcher is re-loadable and based around a simple steel tube, 40 millimeters in diameter, 95.3 centimeters long and weighing 7 kilograms. The middle of the tube is wood wrapped to protect the user from heat and the end is flared to assist in blast shielding and recoil reduction. Sighting is usually optical with a back-up iron sight and passive infra-red and night sights are also available. As with similar weapons, the grenade protrudes from the launch tubes. It is 40-105 millimeters in diameter and weighs between 2.5 and 4.5 kilograms. It is launched by a gunpowder booster charge, giving it an initial speed of 115 meters per second, and creating a cloud of light grey-blue smoke. The rocket motor ignites after 10 meters and sustains flight out to 500 meters at a maximum velocity of 295 meters per second. The grenade is stabilized by two sets of fins that deploy in-flight: one large set on the stabilizer pipe to maintain direction and a smaller front set to induce rotation. The grenade can fly up to 1,100 meters; the fuze sets the maximum range, usually 920 meters.
RPG-29: The RPG-29 is a shoulder-launched, tube-style, breech-loading weapon designed to be carried and used by a single soldier. On the top of the launch tube is the 2.7× 1P38 optical sight. On the bottom of the tube is a shoulder brace for proper positioning along with a pistol grip trigger mechanism. A 1PN51-2 night sight can be fitted. The RPG-29 is unusual among Russian anti-tank rocket launchers in that it lacks an initial propellant charge to place the projectile at a safe distance from the operator before the rocket ignites. Instead, the rocket engine starts as soon as the trigger is pulled, and burns out before the projectile leaves the barrel. Since the projectile follows a ballistic trajectory, the weapon could be described as a smoothbore recoilless rifle.
XM25 CDTE: The XM25 CDTE fires 25 mm grenades that are set to explode in mid-air at or near the target. A laser rangefinder in the weapon is used to determine the distance to the target. The user can manually adjust the detonating distance by up to 10 feet (3.0 m) shorter or longer; the XM25 automatically transmits the detonating distance to the grenade in the firing chamber. The grenade tracks the distance it has traveled by the number of spiral rotations after it is fired, then detonates at the proper distance to produce an air burst effect. These features make the XM25 more effective than traditional grenade launchers at the task of hitting targets that are behind cover or dug into the ground (i.e. in defilade.) One of the weapon's developers, Richard Audette, believes that the XM25 is a big leap forward because it is the first small arms weapon to use smart technology.
Milkor MGL: The MGL is a low-velocity, shoulder-fired 40 mm grenade launcher with a six-round spring-driven revolver-style magazine capable of accepting most 40x46mm grenades. The spring-driven cylinder rotates automatically while firing, but it must be wound back up after every reloading. The MGL grenade launcher consists of a lightweight, progressively rifled steel barrel, sight assembly, and frame with firing mechanism, spring-actuated revolving cylinder magazine, and a folding stock. The weapon has a fire selector safety switch just above the rear pistol grip which can be operated from either side. The launcher cannot be accidentally discharged if dropped. The launcher is loaded by releasing the cylinder axis pin and swinging the steel frame away from the cylinder. The rear of the cylinder (including the pistol grip) is unlatched and pivoted counter-clockwise to expose the chambers during reloading. By inserting the fingers into the empty chambers and rotating the aluminum cylinder it is then wound against its driving spring. The grenades are then inserted into the chambers, one-by-one (because the cylinder cannot be removed), the frame closed, and the axis pin re-engaged to lock. When the trigger is pressed a double-action takes place and the firing pin is cocked and released to fire the grenade. Gas pressure on a piston unlocks the cylinder and allows the spring to rotate it until the next chamber is aligned with the firing pin, whereupon the next round can be fired. If a misfire occurs the trigger can be pulled repeatedly.
Daewoo Precision Industries K4: The Daewoo Precision Industries K4 is a 40 mm high-speed Automatic Grenade Launcher in use with the South Korean Army. It is very similar to the American Mk 19 grenade launcher. It was developed as a complement to the K-201 hand-held grenade launcher (attachable to the K2). It has a weight of 65.9 kg and can fire up to 325 rounds per minute with a firing range of 1.5 km.
PIAT : The PIAT was 39 inches (0.99 m) long and weighed 32 pounds (15 kg), with an effective direct fire range of approximately 115 yards (110 m) and a maximum indirect fire range of 350 yards (320 m). It could be carried and operated by one man, but was usually assigned to a two-man team, the second man acting as an ammunition carrier and loader. The PIAT launcher was a tube constructed out of thin sheets of steel, and contained the trigger mechanism and firing spring. At the front of the launcher was a small trough in which the bomb was placed, and the spigot ran down the middle of the launcher and into the trough. Padding for the user's shoulder was fitted to the other end of the launcher, and rudimentary aperture sights were fitted on top for aiming; the bombs launched by the PIAT possessed hollowed-out tails, into which a small propellant cartridge was inserted, and hollow-charge warheads.
DP-64: The DP-64 is a Russian special-purpose double-barreled over/under grenade launcher designed to protect ships, dockyards, water development works, and other coastal installations from combat swimmers and naval Special Forces. The weapon is breech-loading and operates much like a large shotgun with a side-break breach, utilizing both direct and indirect iron sights. The weapon is capable of firing grenades indirectly at ranges up to 400 meters; however, these grenades act much like small depth charges, attacking submerged swimmers like true depth charges attack submersibles. A large polymer stock and the barrels themselves makes up the bulk of the weapon. The barrels are selected by turning a lever accommodated above the trigger guard. A front pistol grip is equipped for support and is out of alignment with the rear grip and trigger mechanism, providing a more natural grip while firing indirectly. The butt is fitted with a springy rubber pad used to diminish recoil. Direct fire sights are also provided for use from a helicopter allowing for large areas to be patrolled and protected from enemy combat swimmers.
Heckler & Koch AG36: As in many modern weapon systems including the G36 series, extensive use of polymers and high-strength aluminum in the AG36 launcher contributes to its low mass and durability. It is capable of firing almost all 40x46mm grenade rounds, including plastic training cartridges, flexible baton rounds, CS gas, and OC (oleoresin capsicum, the same chemical used in pepper spray) gas cartridges, white phosphorus, and HE ammunition. Once attached, the AG36 does not affect the accuracy of the rifle or its handling and operating functions. The AG36 is a part of Germany's Infantryman of the future program.

The New American Dream Home
Yesterday's NY Times profiled the Kawabatas–a family of four who share a 1300 sq ft home in Garrison, NY. The article, entitled "The Anti-McMansion," tells the tale of one family that's bucking the American way of living in bigger homes, with more stuff.
To our readers, 1300 sq ft, while far from the 2500 sq ft American average, is not particularly small. The house also sits on a 2 1/2 acres plot, and they are planning a 1500 sq ft addition. The interesting aspect of the Kawabata's story is how they use the space. The house is one big open space, filled with very little stuff.
The home is modeled on traditional Japanese architecture, which revolves around a large, multi-functional communal space. The only real division, besides a sleeping loft, are dividers made from metal frames and nylon string (the modern equivalent of the shōji screen).
Takaaki and Christina Kawabata have "brainwashed" their children into thinking this way of life normal. For example, their children, Tozai, 6 and Akari, 3, have been trained to clean up after themselves at the end of each day. They are also only allowed to use one toy at a time. According to Takaaki, the children:
Are allowed to make a mess in their specified area–their bedroom–and every time they use their toys, they have to put them back in the bin before going on to the next one.
Tozai, who just entered first grade, is realizing not everyone lives in such austere conditions (which might be particularly true in tony Garrison). When Tonzai asks Takaaki why he can't have a ton of toys splayed about like his friends do, the father appeals to his son's sense of logic, asking "how many toys can you play with at one time?"
But it's not just the kids who abide by a code of conduct. Takaaki and Christina, an architect and designer respectively, got rid of half of their possessions when they moved to their current home in 2008 from Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She says of their pared down home, "We love the things that we have and try not to be wasteful. The rest, we edit."
The Kawabata family shows that the barriers to living an edited life are often not deep-seated, immutable truths about how people live. Kids don't need a million toys. Adults don't need tons of stuff. The barriers are cultural. When culture changes, habits follow.

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe Speedometer problem
My 2002 Santa Fe has about 40000 miles on it and I just started experiencing intermittent problems with my speedometer/odometer. It sometimes just drops to zero mph, no matter what speed I'm driving, what other electric components are on, or what outside temperature is. Hyundai service had no answers and, as you would expect, when I took it in for them to look at it, it worked. It has messed up several times since.
Any helpful suggestions?

somedai1 Posts: 416possibly- not 100% sure how it works but if it is not a cable then it would still be easy enough to find the problem at the dealer - if it is a signal driven system - then you might have to look at where and when the malfunction occurs - possible electromagnetic interference from somewhere might be affecting the speedometer- i have an aftermarket setup that uses electrical signal and it used to malfunction going over a specific draw bridge for some reason... and have no problem anywhere else. is there any other malfunction? svc engine light? abs light? awd light? if your not there at the dealer they can always say they can't reproduce the problem but if your there and it presents itself - they should be able to figure out what is malfunctioning and why...
chiwlf Posts: 6The most common problem is a loose connection or moisture in the connection at the speed sensor on the transaxle. the next thing that I have seen is a worn speedo driven gear on the sensor itself. Provided the gear isn't when due to worn diff side bearings not a real complicated job or excessively costly. An experienced Hyundai tech would find the problem pretty quickly.
dreber1 Posts: 2Thanks to all who submitted replies to my original speedometer problem. I took my Santa Fe back to the dealer and told them to keep it until they found and fixed the problem. It only took one day for them to see the problem. At first, they said it was the speedometer gear (in the speedometer) and they replaced it. When they took the vehicle out to test the "fix", the speedometer failed two more times. This time they replaced the sensor in the transaxle (which I and several of you suggested was the problem). That did the trick - it has worked ever since. Apparently they have an inherent problem with the early Santa Fe speed sensors, but for some reason, don't want to notify their customers to come in and have the sensors replaced. Thanks again.
shmevsgirl Posts: 1Does anyone have any new information on whether or not Hyundai is doing a recall? My tachometer went a few months ago and now my speedometer is no longer working either. I have a 2002 Santa Fe. After getting it checked out, it appears there's a cluster inside the dash that controls both and the part alone costs $800 to replace. Insane!
troy31 Posts: 3i have santa fe 2001,my speedometer is malfunctionin means theres a time that suddenly drop down. i decided to open it and brought a gear. at the time i change it my speedometer is doing the same, now i want to change the upper portion of speedometer assemble. now i want to ask if i already change the whole speedometer assembly and if it will do same thing what is the other factor that affecting my speedometer
verno1 Posts: 13There actually 3 sensors on the transmission. The Output Speed Sensor, the Input speed sensor and the VSS, Vehicle Speed Sensor. The first two are right on top of the transmission, the VSS is toward the firewall and down lower. It is hard to see because of the hoses and wires in the way. It is on the differential section of the transmission. The VSS is actually the one that controls the Speedometer I am almost sure. Look straight down from the throttle valve and you should be able to see it. Looking from the front of the vehicle it is a little left of the Master Cylinder and down lower of course.
topcat1701d Posts: 4I have a 2003 Santa Fe and the speedometer quit, Just lays on 0. I took it to the Hyundai dealership and they told me the speedometer cluster was bad and I replaced it at some cost. Well the speedometer still doesn't work. What else is left,, the Vehicle speed sensor? I can't find a shop that sells the VSS. I can buy the input sensor and the output sensor. But from what everyone tells me the problem is the VSS. Where do I buy a VSS and is hard to change?
verno1 Posts: 13It is neither the output speed or input speed sensor. There is a Speedometer sensor on the lower part of the transmission Yes it is the VSS it is hard to see from the top, but you can get to it from under the car. That is what runs your speedometer. I replaced my about 3 months ago. There is a Korean Auto parts store on the web where you can get it.
topcat1701d Posts: 4
verno1 Posts: 13I assure you that will fix your problem. I see you located where it was on the transmission right? Actually it is very easy to install from under the car. One bolt and it comes out. Push the new one back in the hole, put the bolt back on and install the connector and you will be good to go. "Note" Do not over tighten the bolt it is fairly small and you could bust it off. Just snug it up.
topcat1701d Posts: 4I have searched the transmission over and over and the only senser I can find is located on top of the transmission just under the air filter box. I removed the air filter box and the senser is looking me right in the face. If there is another senser, I can't find it. This is a 4WD drive transmission and I am sure there is a difference between it and the 2 WD. If you have other input I would greatly appreciate it Four Greens auto parts had a picture of the speed senser and it looks exactly like the one I pulled out.
verno1 Posts: 13topcat: If it looks exactly like the one you pulled out, then it is probably the right one. Does it look like the one on this web page, the second one from the top? And costs $32.90?
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p4684.m570.l1313&_nkw=Hyundai+2003+vehic- le+speed+sensor&_sacat=See-All-Categories
And say it is a Santa Fe Vehicle Speed Sensor Sonata Sedona Kia Amanti? If so it is the VSS that you need.
Didn't know yours was a 4WD, so they could be located in different spots. But if it looks like the picture then it is it. The other sensors look different than that one. "> -
topcat1701d Posts: 4Finally found the right sensor. After seeing it I felt like a fool for not seeing it before. However I ran into trouble getting it out. It was so stuck it was almost like it was welded into the shaft hole.. I had to take it out in pieces. Hope I never have to change another. The teeth were broken so it couldn't have been spinning so the Hyundai dealership couldn't have tested it because they told me it was the speedometer cluster that was bad. Spent 300 dollars that was unnessary. Anyway thanks a lot for your help

7 Benefits of Hosted UC
I have extolled the benefits, features and exciting growth of hosted unified communications for several years. However, I realize that many of you have only recently begun to read my blogs and, therefore, are not aware of the range of data on the market, value propositions and suggested sales methodologies discussed in this blog. To that end, in future blogs I will cover some of the problems or issues businesses face that are solved by implementing hosted UC.
Generally speaking, the following represent the seven benefits of hosted UC:
- Increase employee productivity
- Improve and integrate employee mobility
- Increase collaboration between employees and departments
- Attain Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery
- Improve cash management
- Maintain pace with technological improvements
- Decrease your carbon footprint
Most of the participants in the IP community and ecosystem can list these benefits, but few can actually give pertinent details or facts that define the range of improvements. It is with that in mind that we will explore current industry studies to see why hosted UC is growing in demand and penetration.
Hosted UC leverages a growing interest in cloud-based applications. But only a subset of the benefits listed above can be achieved with hosted VoIP or premises-based IP PBX UC solutions. To be competitive in a world where geographical boundaries are no longer barriers to entry, leveraging IP communications across all aspects of the business grows in importance. Therefore, providing businesses with facts regarding UC benefits should not only shorten the sales cycle, but give the business owner important information to add to his/her business strategy and vision.

Eckert's Greenhouse in Sterling Heights, Mich., is introducing the new 14-inch Weekender, a hanging basket with unique technology. The Weekender provides customers with two great features − a 1-gallon water reservoir and a removable liner, a first in the industry.
The revolutionary new basket requires 50 percent less watering than the traditional hanging basket. The Weekender is a 10-year guaranteed hanging basket made of polypropylene plastic, and Eckert's believes it will stand the test of time for growers. There's no need to toss or recycle the Weekender every year, as with traditional hanging baskets. It can keep coming back to the greenhouse year after year, either to be custom planted or switched out for a planted liner.
Greenhouses and garden centers also win when customers bring liners to be replanted, thus retaining their customer base. Consumers win by having a beautiful basket that doesn't need to be watered daily. Plus, it's a great way to reduce one's carbon footprint. In Southern states where seasons are longer, two to three changes of the liner are possible.
The Weekender is a two-piece hanging basket. The first piece is the outside shell made from 0.125-inch polypropylene and is available in five different colors. The outside shell accommodates the overflow protection hole − overwatering will never occur − and includes a drain plug in the bottom when draining the entire pot is needed.
The second piece is the removable liner. This 0.90-inch polypropylene comes in black only and is 6.3 inches deep. Holes on the bottom of the liner allow plant roots to seek water by going through the holes in the root screen. Roots only need to travel about 0.125 inches before hitting water in the reservoir.
Eckert's Greenhouse also offers the H2O Labor Saver, which sports the same principle as its smaller partner. The H2O Labor Saver, however, is for cities, parking lots and other locations where shock and awe is needed. Measuring 22 inches across with 2.46 gallons of reservoir water, it will exceed a grower's needs. Growers can water twice a week and have beautiful growth all season long.
At this time of year, pots look beautiful with winter greens. With labor savings, pots will pay for themselves in one season. And again, Southern climates may achieve two to three crops easily with help from the removable liner system. At 0.25 inches thick and made of high molecular weight polyethylene, this pot has a 10-year warranty. It's available in black and, new for 2010, in sand. It's also available with a chain or swivel wire hanger .
