GAINESVILLE, GA, May 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) On April 3, 2011, The Spa on Green Street received a distinguished honor when they were announced as the grand winner of the new Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa Award. Recognized for their excellence in the green/wellness category, The Spa on Green Street emphasizes the importance of preventative care, lifestyle changes, ongoing fitness programs, and environmental responsibility.
Dedicated to the sustained health of their guests and the environment through education and individualized and group programs, The Spa on Green Street is committed to finding ways to improve health and well-being in the community and ultimately in our nation. Gregg Hake, CEO, envisions a world where preventive medicine takes a more primary role in our nation's healthcare.
According to Mr. Hake, "Preventive health care is not a one-size-fits-all approach. In order to provide our guests with a wellness program that takes into consideration their present health challenges and successes, schedules and willingness to commit to lifestyle change, we have modified the intensive residential programs typically found at destination resorts like Canyon Ranch or Miraval Resorts to work in a local, urban day spa setting. Our approach provides guests with practical, sustainable ways to lead a healthier lifestyle. In a larger sense, we feel that a greater focus on prevention and education is the most effective way to cure our country's ailing and outdated healthcare system."
Amanda Clinton, Assistant Editor at Les Nouvelles Esthetiques & Spa, stated that The Spa on Green Street "stands out for executing these concepts in unique ways...and forward thinking green/wellness spas can look up to the Spa on Green Street as a model of what is to come in the industry."
The Spa on Green Street incorporates:
- Destination spa style wellness programs individualized for each guest, blending personal wellness and physical fitness goals
- Anakiri's all-natural, results-oriented skin, body, and massage products in their treatments and home care, for results with no regrets
- An on-site natural pharmacy boutique offering aromatherapy and healthy life style gifts, and featuring Energetix's professional-only natural supplements, herbs, and homeopathic medicine
- The Body Sanctuary, Inc. - a personalized fitness center for individual and small group settings offering yoga, Pilates, and personal training
- Gift certificates that "give the gift of health to those we love"
Come and celebrate with the award winning team at The Spa on Green Street and contribute to the solution to the nation's healthcare woes! In celebration of this special award, The Spa on Green Street will be offering a custom aromatherapy option to every spa treatment. Guests will be able to choose a luxurious Anakiri AromaChord aromatherapy blend to be added to their facial or massage through June 30, 2011.

2 defective proteins conspire to impair the nerve cell's 'powerhouse' in Alzheimer's disease
2011-05-14
Two proteins that are abnormally modified in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease collude, resulting in ill effects on the crucial energy centers of brain cells, according to new findings published online in Neurobiology of Aging.
The research raises the possibility that pathological forms of two proteins, amyloid beta and tau, which make up the pathological hallmarks of the brains of Alzheimer patients – plaques and tangles – may work in tandem to decrease the survival of brain cells.
The findings come as part of a bundle of results from several laboratories ...
MIT research: Toward faster transistors
2011-05-14
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- In the 1980s and '90s, competition in the computer industry was all about "clock speed" — how many megahertz, and ultimately gigahertz, a chip could boast. But clock speeds stalled out almost 10 years ago: Chips that run faster also run hotter, and with existing technology, there seems to be no way to increase clock speed without causing chips to overheat.
In this week's issue of the journal Science, MIT researchers and their colleagues at the University of Augsburg in Germany report the discovery of a new physical phenomenon that could yield transistors ...
The ties that bind: Grandparents and their grandchildren
2011-05-14
Close your eyes for a moment, open your treasure trove of memories and take a step back in time to your childhood. Do you remember your grandfather gently scooping you up into his warm and comforting embrace? Or sitting by your grandmother's side as she lovingly baked pies chock full of delicious, juicy warm apples sprinkled with crumbly cinnamon bits?
The bond between grandparents and their grandchildren seems to be a magical one, and now, a new article published in the April issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological ...
Scientists design new anti-flu virus proteins using computational methods
2011-05-14
A research article May 12 in Science demonstrates the use of computational methods to design new antiviral proteins not found in nature, but capable of targeting specific surfaces of flu virus molecules.
One goal of such protein design would be to block molecular mechanisms involved in cell invasion and virus reproduction.
Computationally designed, surface targeting, antiviral proteins might also have diagnostic and therapeutic potential in identifying and fighting viral infections.
The lead authors of the study are Sarel J. Fleishman and Timothy Whitehead of ...
I know you, bad guy!
2011-05-14
Most people who have had the experience of having pet animals in their houses have the gut feeling that the animals can "recognize" us. They seem to recognize our faces, our voices and our smell. One way or another, they respond to us differently from other people.
Actually, this is not just a gut feeling. Numerous studies have shown that domesticated animals, such as honey bees, chickens, pigeons, sheep, dogs, llamas, penguins, seals, rabbits, horses, lizards and octopuses, can recognize humans individually. The common thing among these animals is that they are exposed ...
Moon's rough 'wrinkles' reveal clues to its past
2011-05-14
Written on the moon's weary face are the damages it has endured for the past 4-1/2 billion years. From impact craters to the dark plains of maria left behind by volcanic eruptions, the scars are all that remain to tell the tale of what happened to the moon. But they only hint at the processes that once acted—and act today—to shape the surface.
To get more insight into those processes, Meg Rosenburg and her colleagues at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif. put together the first comprehensive set of maps revealing the slopes and roughness of the moon's ...
Satellite images display extreme Mississippi River flooding from space
2011-05-14
Recent Landsat satellite data captured by the USGS and NASA on May 10 shows the major flooding of the Mississippi River around Memphis, Tenn. and along the state borders of Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Arkansas as seen from 438 miles above the Earth.
The flood crest of 47.87 feet on May 10, is the second highest rise in recent history; the highest being 48.7 feet in 1937. Five counties surrounding Memphis have been declared disaster areas, and the costs of the flooding are expected to approach $1 billion. The Mississippi River crest continues to move south and ...
