NSF International Offers GreenScreen Evaluations to Help Organizations Identify Safer Chemicals and Substitute Hazardous Chemicals with Safer Alternatives


Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

NSF International, an independent global organization that writes public health standards and certifies products for food, water and consumer goods, now offers chemical reviews in accordance with Clean Production Actions (CPA) GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals program. GreenScreen reviews, which are offered through NSF Internationals Sustainability division, allow organizations to substitute hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives.

The Clean Production Action (CPA) GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals is a comparative chemical screening method that focuses on hazard reduction and informed substitution. NSFs team of toxicologists, chemists and biologists perform comparative chemical hazard assessments by reviewing product ingredients and formulations in accordance with the Green Screen protocol. Based on this analysis, chemicals earn one of four benchmark scores, each defining progressively safer chemicals. For example, benchmark one indicates a chemical of high concern, while benchmark four indicates a chemical with low hazard levels. Benchmark U is reserved for chemicals with insufficient data.

Offering GreenScreen chemical reviews complements NSF Sustainabilitys expanding portfolio of green chemistry and sustainability services. NSF Sustainability helps companies make informed chemical and material decisions by evaluating specific products or full chemical inventories against a number of chemical hazard assessment programs. These include Green Screen, EPAs Design for the Environment (DfE), and GreenBlues CleanGredients.

The NSF Sustainability division possesses both the toxicology expertise and technical capabilities to perform high quality GreenScreen evaluations, said Lauren Heine, Consulting Co-Director for Clean Production Action. With support from organizations like NSF Sustainability, GreenScreen will help to quickly and effectively move manufacturers toward the use of inherently safer chemicals.

NSF Sustainabilitys Green Chemistry services help companies gain information and an understanding of a chemicals potential risk so they can choose safer chemical alternatives. The GreenScreen program helps prevent the costly mistake of choosing an alternative chemical that is later found to be hazardous, said Tom Bruursema, General Manager, NSF Sustainability. NSFs green chemistry programs contribute to the growing need for standardized chemical information programs that make it easier to choose safer, environmentally preferable chemicals.

Organizations seeking additional information about NSF Sustainabilitys Green Chemistry programs should contact Dennis Gillan at 734.476.2543, dgillan(at)nsf(dot)org or visit nsfsustainability.org.

Editors note: To schedule an interview with NSF Sustainability General Manager Tom Bruursema contact Greta Houlahan at +1 734-913-5723 or houlahan(at)nsf(dot)org.

Cabin Creekwood Offers Opportunity to Stay in a Real Civil War Cabin


Waynesboro, VA (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

Civil War enthusiasts now have the opportunity to stay overnight in a genuine Civil War cabin. This cabin, called Logwood, was originally built by Confederate Soldier William P. Tolley around 1860, and was located in the community of Goshen Pass, southwest of Staunton, VA. Tolley was drafted into the Confederate Army on March 19, 1862, to serve a three-year term. Unfortunately, he never saw the end of that term, as he was killed on May 3, 1863 in the Battle of Chancellorsville, along with 10,000 other Confederate Soldiers and 14,000 Union Troops.

In 1976, a couple by the name of George and Dorothy Stein fulfilled a long-time dream to own a craft shop in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia when they saw this cabin offered in a rural magazine. The owners were giving it away to anyone who wanted to move it! So the Steins dismantled the cabin, moved it to its current location, and spent the next 2 years of weekends reconstructing it. Some of the logs needed replaced, but Mr. Stein made them look as authentic as possible with the use of a chain saw and an axe. A couple of changes were made, most notably making the roof just a little higher. Even so, it is still common for people to bump their heads. The original cabin had a room off the back that is now the front porch. And the Steins added a deck onto the rear of the cabin, using wood from an old barn that had been torn down.

The craft shop operated under the name Mountain Blue Crafts until 1995, when it was sold to Stan & Deb Horst, owners of Cabin Creekwood. Stan & Deb hired a local contractor to add a kitchen and a bathroom, amenities that are surely important to anyone staying overnight. The kitchen was built into a corner of the downstairs, and part of the back deck was closed in to make the bathroom. In keeping with the historic theme, a cast iron claw foot tub was added for bathing.

Today, guests can reserve the cabin by the night or by the week. According to owner Stan Horst, Cabin Logwood is our most popular cabin. People really like the rustic nature of it, and the fact that it is an authentic piece of Civil War history. The cabin is available year round. In the winter, guests enjoy nearby activities such as skiing or snowboarding at Wintergreen, and then return to the cabin to prop their feet up next to a blazing fire. In the spring and fall, exploring the outdoors on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Skyline Drive, or one of the many hiking trails is the most common activity. And in the summer, guests love to hang out at the swimming pool or Sherando Lake, known locally as the Jewel of the Blue Ridge.

For more information, go online to http://www.cabincreekwood.com, and look for the cabin called Logwood, or watch this short video on YouTube.

Liberty Buick GMC Trucks Celebrates Record Sales for December 2011 and Achieves Ranking Higher Than 97 Percent of Other Buick GMC Dealers


(PRWEB) January 13, 2012

Scott McCorkles Liberty Buick GMC Trucks announced yesterday that they beat their own sales record in December. The dealership finished 13th in rankings for the southeast and it is now ranked higher than 96% of Buick GMC dealers nationwide. Out of over 3000 plus dealerships McCorkles ranked 97th.

Buick GMC has the potential to have the best overall single year in over 10 years, says McCorkle.

McCorkles announcement comes on the heels of GMs announcement last week of 8.4 million in global vehicle sales, poising the company to retake the title of worlds largest volume automaker. GMs profits, in the billions for 2010, went up 14 percent in the United States. For the second year in a row, car sales in the U.S. went up by more than one million and a large portion of that was GM sales.

McCorkle is just putting the finishing touches on the new state-of-the-art dealership on Independence Boulevard and says it offers, world class service and products to our customers with this great facility and with our outstanding personnel.

Indeed GM seems to be on a roll, producing a line of vehicles that are consistently surpassing the competition in customer satisfaction, safety and efficiency. The 2012 Buick Verano has been named a Top Safety Pick for 2012 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This completes a clean sweep of Buick cars earning the award. General Motors earned a total of 14 IIHS Top Safety Picks for 2012, a major accomplishment. And the Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Enclave models were carryover winners from 2011 testing.

Earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick award requires a vehicle to provide extreme driver and passenger protection which must be demonstrated in both front and side crash tests. Roof strength is tested in rollover tests and simulated rear impacts evaluate seat and head restraints. Vehicles must also have electronic stability control.

Buicks innovative eAssist Technology improves vehicle fuel efficiency by adding a compact electric motor and state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery to a 2.4L four-cylinder ECOTEC engine, improving fuel economy by an estimated 25%. The 2012 LaCrosse and Regal are the first vehicles available with eAssist Technology.

Along with the new eAssist line of vehicles, McCorkle says, The new Buick Regal GS and Verano have just arrived and the all new Buick Encore or Baby Enclave is arriving soon!

McCorkle is determined to move to the very top of the list for all Buick GMC dealers and says, Were also offering 30-day 110% tire price guarantee and free alignment inspection.

LMC Automotive, who acquired the auto forecasting division of J.D. Power & Associates in November, estimates a steady rise in U.S. auto sales to 13.8 million in 2012, 15.4 million in 2013 and 16.2 million in 2014. If the predictions are correct American sales would be restored to prerecession normalcy, if not to the 17.4 million peak of 2000 with GM leading the way.

eInstruction Announces the New Insight 360 System Designed to Deliver Unprecedented Integration of Interactive Instruction and Formative Assessment in the Classroom

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

eInstruction Corporation, a leading global education software and technology company, today announces the new Insight 360 system, a first-of-its-kind formative instruction system. Designed to simplify and enhance the practice of formative instruction in conjunction with interactive teaching, Insight 360 enables educators to obtain instant feedback on student learning through an easy-to-use suite of mobile devices, software and instructional material conveniently interoperable with existing technology and systems.

    Mobility: As instructional content is projected onto any surface at the front of the room, teachers lead instruction from anywhere in the classroom using either a Mobi 360 an advanced version of the market-leading Mobi View mobile interactive whiteboard or Mobi 360 for iPad®, a brand new Apple® iPad® application.

    Student Engagement: Teachers engage students in lessons with user-friendly, interactive Spark 360 and Pulse 360 student response pads and multiple Mobi Learner mobile interactive whiteboards.

    Interoperability: Teachers can contribute to and control virtually any instructional and assessment content with Insight 360.

    Assessment Delivery: The Insight 360 system includes a revolutionary new feature called CueTags, which allows teachers to incorporate assessment content from any source into an Insight 360 classroom lesson. Teachers can also create tests using the robust, standards-based eInstruction Learning Series test item bank that comes included with the integrated system. With the system, they can also use the award-winning ExamView® Assessment Suite software to create new student-paced tests and leverage tests already created in ExamView®.

Mobility, engagement and assessment capabilities have always been integral to eInstructions product line, and Insight 360s new features allow teachers to incorporate these capabilities better than ever before. Its extended integration with third-party products and content gives more schools and districts the opportunity to leverage their existing investments and content into a powerful new classroom experience.

Mobi 360 for iPad®

With Insight 360, eInstruction is bringing the power of Mobi to iPad® with the Mobi 360 for iPad® application. The new application allows iPad® users to run interactive lessons, review student feedback and deliver assessments just as Mobi 360 would.

CueTags

This eliminates the need to recreate content or lesson plans in a specific format and allows teachers to ask questions instantaneously.

Tailored for Teachers and Students

During instruction, students are only shown what the teacher needs them to see instructional and assessment content. All teacher controls and reports are shown in a private view on their Mobi 360 device or Mobi 360 for iPad® application. This focuses student attention on the lesson material while providing teachers portable, private control of their lesson and assessment material.

Instant and Longitudinal Reports

When using Spark 360 or Pulse 360 student response pads in lessons, teachers can instantly measure student understanding through reports available on their Mobi 360 or Mobi 360 for iPad® application. Teachers can then decide whether to re-teach material, differentiate instruction or move forward in their lesson. After class, teachers can conduct a more intensive and standards-based review of student progress over time to make data-driven decisions for future lessons. Additionally, Insight 360 software saves screenshots throughout the lesson, providing the capability to share actual lesson content with students, parents and administrators.

Fits into Classrooms

Insight 360 works seamlessly with a variety of third-party software used for creating lessons, including Smart Notebook and Promethean ActivInspire®. For classrooms incorporating fixed interactive whiteboards, the system can integrate this existing technology, while allowing a teacher to move freely around the classroom.

Oblique Fitness Magazine Features Accident Recovery Workout – The Jason Deierlein Story

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) January 06, 2012

Oblique Magazine is noted for a wide range of articles pertaining to the fitness world that helps the reader achieve particular fitness goals. Monthly features include topics of Aerobic Training, Power and Strength, Power of the Mind, and “…Inspiring Success Stories. Jason’s story is a true success.”

The January 2012 edition interviews Jason Deierlein as he recalls before and after the car accident that changed his life forever.

As a young athlete, Jason Deierlein was training as a competitive swimmer with dreams of the Olympics in his future. He remembers how hard he trained to be in top physical form for his sport; sometimes swimming laps to the point of “…near collapse, but he never gave up because he knew what it took to be a winner.”

Jason believes his dedication and determination to be physically fit saved his life from the events that transpired one stormy night in 1995. That night, while riding as a passenger in a van, a tractor-trailer truck crossed the center line causing a crash.

The driver of the van, Jason’s best friend & neighbor, lost his life that night. Jason was spared, but not by much. The tragic accident left him in a coma for months.

While in a comatose state, Jason had dreams of “…being in great persistent pain. The kind of pain he remembered from training.” He subconsciously pushed through the agony.

Upon waking from his coma, he was unable to communicate, see, or move. He had to draw on his discipline to endure the agonizing surgeries and physical therapy; all the while being unable to cry out.

After years of exercise and rehabilitative therapy, Jason made remarkable progress. Jason states, “This is because swimming saved my life after the car accident. When you are involved in a life changing situation, the condition of your body and mind will be a huge determining factor as to how well you recover.”

Oblique Magazine focuses on Jason’s progress to-date. Jason continues to use health and fitness to regain the abilities the accident took away from him. Surviving traumatic brain injury, multiple crushing fractures, a broken femur, and complete elbow reconstruction left lingering concerns related to balancing issues.

“However, using health and fitness, he has been able to continue to improve his situation even after 16 years from the car accident.” Oblique Magazine features full color images of Jason’s post recovery workout with his Fitness Trainer.

Since his recovery, Jason has created “My Positive Perspective, an Internet Talk Show dedicated to the enhancement of lives.” It stresses to parents how vital it is for their children to grow up physically fit and healthy; in body, mind, and spirit.

As a motivational speaker and talk-show Host, Jason uses his life story to “…convey to children exactly why it is imperative they respect their bodies while they are still developing and not take things for granted that will hinder their development.”

Jason wants people to know that it’s never too late to start a healthy lifestyle; however, it is far better to prepare in advance and have a physically fit foundation while you are yet young. “One never knows what tomorrow holds, it’s better to be prepared than to suffer the consequences later.”

My Positive Perspective January 2012 Episode One – Jason Deierlein and Traumatic Brain Injury Co-Host, Dr. Matt Antonucci, discuss the Oblique Magazine article featuring his post recovery fitness workout.
