Chevrolet at the Geneva Motor Show 2012

GENEVA, March 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Chevrolet Volt (together with the Opel Ampera) won the "Car of the Year 2012" award. By handing victory to the revolutionary electric vehicle, the first winner designed and built in the USA, the panel of judges, made up of 59 leading automotive journalists from 23 European nations, paid tribute to General Motor's innovative foresight. The Opel Ampera / Chevrolet Volt were the undisputed winners with 330 points against VW Up (281) and Ford Focus (256).

"It is a proud moment for us and an honor to receive this award from Europe's leading jury of automotive journalists," said Susan Docherty, President and Managing Director, Chevrolet Europe. "Our car demonstrates that electric driving can be fun and reliable without ever compromising the owner's lifestyle."

The Ampera and the Volt are the first electric vehicles in the market that can go anywhere anytime. A 16 kWh lithium ion battery powers the 111kW/150 hp electric motor. Depending on the style of driving and road conditions, distance of between 40 and 80 kilometers can be covered in the purely battery-operated mode, completely free of emissions. The wheels of the car are always powered electrically. In extended-range mode, which activates whenever the battery has reached its minimum state of charge, the gasoline engine drives a generator that supplies the electric drive unit. The range extender enables an operating radius of 500 kilometers.

Chevrolet at the Geneva Motor Show 2012

New models, exciting concepts and the latest in infotainment technology are the hallmarks of Chevrolet's presence at the 82nd International Geneva Motor Show, which opened to the public on March 8, 2012.

The major attraction on the Chevrolet stand in Hall 1 is the Cruze station wagon, which will make its world debut. Two youth concept cars -- the Code 130R and Tru 140S -- make it to European shores for the first time while the future of on-board infotainment will be displayed in the form of Chevrolet MyLink.

DASSEL, COKATO, MN The DC School District has put a lot of time and effort into studying the most effective way to create an environment that caters to the 21st century digital natives tastes for learning.

For more than a year, the district has researched hundreds of articles and attended numerous workshops to understand all the choices available to create a digital learning environment.

All that research has led to the 21st Century Digital Learning Initiative, a plan to create a 21st century learning environment throughout the district by providing technology to all students, at all times.

We have been very deliberate and responsible in studying this. We want to make sure whatever we do is in the best interest of the students, said Dassel-Cokato Media Specialist Paul Beckermann.

It is now up to the DC School Board to decide if moving forward with the 21st Century Digital Learning Initiative is affordable for the district, and whether it will satisfy the needs of its students.

We need to move in this direction at some point if not, were not being fair to students, said Superintendent Jeff Powers.

The board was presented the initiative at the Feb. 13 board meeting, and had a lengthy discussion at the Feb. 23 meeting. The board plans to further discuss the topic at its Monday, March 12 meeting.

Digital natives learn better in a digital environment

The learning environment of the 21st century is much different than that of the 20th century, and is changing at a pace faster than the textbooks of yesterday can keep up.

Further trouble for Manx2 as plane crash lands

By Pat Flynn

Saturday, March 10, 2012

An airplane operated on behalf of the same company involved in the fatal crash at Cork Airport last year, crash landed on the Isle of Man on Thursday.

Links Air flight NM-309 was arriving at Ronaldsway Airport on the Isle of Man from Leeds when it veered off the runway into the grass after the right main landing gear apparently collapsed.

There were 12 passengers and 2 crew on board the British Aerospace Jetstream 3102 turboprop aircraft, however no-one was injured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

It is also understood that it took fire crews almost five minutes to respond the incident, which was not immediately spotted by air traffic controllers.

It has been reported that it was the crew of another aircraft which reported the incident to the tower.

The incident is currently under investigation by British authorities.

Manx2, a virtual commuter airline, sells flights from the Isle of Man to a number of British airports.
