2007-02-10 American Clay Earth Plaster resists mold growth

The mold tests were conducted by an independent lab that utilizes ASTM standards, one of the most universally-accepted testing parameters. Two tests were conducted: ASTM 3273-00 and ASTM G21-96. The first and most common test for wall surface materials had panels with American Clays original formulation (Loma) hang for four weeks in an atmosphere ideal for production of mold growth. The panels included every permutation of the Loma clay alone, with add mix, with the companys new Mud Glue, and even one without American Clays current mold-inhibiting additive, Borax. Control panels that will not prevent growth and are a known level were also included in the test. At the end of the cycle, all American Clay panels showed no signs of mold growth, a rating of 10 per the test standards.

2007-02-06 EPA Relative Mold Index (ERMI) - A Powerful New Standardized Investigation Tool for Screening Homes for Mold Contamination

Guaranteed Property Inspection and Mold Investigation, Inc. has announced the availability of a new standardized mold test suited to screen homes for mold. Based on recently published data from Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) researchers and the 2006 HUD American Healthy Home Survey, the new EPA Relative Mold Index (ERMI) test has been developed as a tool to evaluate the potential risk of indoor mold growth and associated health effects.

In addition to the simplicity of taking only one sample, the ERMI offers several advantages over traditional mold screening methods. Carpet dust acts as a reservoir for mold spores and is more representative of mold levels over time versus traditional short term air samples. Further, the use of a DNA-based method for this test allows for increased precision of mold identification as it is based on a biochemical assay using calibrated instrumentation.

2007-02-14 Durakon and Soliant Are Changing An Automotive Model

Resin suppliers are paying more attention to thermoforming and producing a greater variety of materials today offering varying quality characteristics that can be thermoformed but not injection molded," said Ed Gniewek. "There are more additives and subgroups of materials for optimum processing. " The injection molding process requires that plastic be pushed through the mold so it requires resin material that flows easily, such as polypropylene, but it may not be the best material to meet the part performance requirements. Thermoforming will work with a greater variety of resin characteristics than injection molding and blow molding. This allows thermoformers to give customers more quality solutions across a number of applications.

DO YOU FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A FULL-FLEDGED MEDICAL TEAM AT TRACKS DURING TEST SESSIONS "I think that certainly its very difficult to make it standard because its so odd that youre gonna have a problem. Having a crash is not uncommon, but to have a severe enough crash is pretty uncommon when there are only two race cars on the race track or three or if youre there by yourself. We went and tested Rockingham two weeks ago and we just had an ambulance and EMTs, that was it. But, maybe the faster places. I hate to categorize it because youre almost being bias as to where you can get in an accident and get hurt and you cant. Certainly, people have lost their life at Martinsville or Jerry Nadeau got severely injured at Richmond. You can get hurt anywhere, but its more likely to get hurt at a mile-and-a-half or bigger race

2007-02-24 Pioneer BDP-HD1 Reviews. Video Players and Recorders Reviews by CNET.

Of releases. There are a couple minor feature differences here and there, but for the most part theyre all pretty similar. The Pioneer BDP-HD1 ( usd. 1,500 MSRP) is one of the first Blu-ray players to break out of the mold, adding network media-playing capabilities to the standard Blu-ray features. It has the ability to output Blu-ray at 24 frames per second, the frame rate at which almost all films are made. There are only a few displays that can accept this format, and its supposed to offer improved picture quality, but during our testing we found this highly anticipated feature wasnt the holy grail some videophiles were hoping for.

2007-02-19 The NFL Combine: Predicting the Results

For NFL Draft fans, the Combine is the most exciting time of the season. Every year, there are surprises and disappointments. Not only is the combine for drills and measurements, but it also gives NFL teams a time to interview players they like to see if they fit the mold of their team. They have players draw up schemes, say what theyd do in certain situations, and reveal their character. Also, in addition to the physical testing, the players undergo the infamous Wonderlic Test, which is the SAT of the football world. It tests the players mental abilities, and is mainly a measurement tool for QBs, although a low Wonderlic score does not directly translate into a bad quarterback (Vince Young scored 6 out of 50). Here are my combine predictions by position for the 4 main drills:
