370 Unit "Off Market" Multi-Family Acquisition

Knightvest Capital completes off-market multifamily acquisition in Dallas, TX. Growing real estate investment firm identifies value in the distressed multi-family market.

2010-12-10

DALLAS, TX, December 10, 2010 (Press-News.org) Knightvest Capital, a growing real estate investment firm targeting distressed multi-family properties in Texas, today announced the acquisition of a 370-unit multi-family property in north Dallas.

The property, known as Copper Creek Apartments, is located in close proximity to the corner of Interstates 75 and 635. The investment firm acquired the property out of foreclosure and are planning significant renovations.

"We were able to acquire Copper Creek "off market" at a reasonable discount due to the depressed financial markets and lack of refinance options by the previous owner," stated David Moore, President of Knightvest Capital. "The discounted purchase price will enable us to invest the necessary capital to improve the property while offering a market leading product at competitive rental rates."

This is the fifth multifamily acquisition by Knightvest Capital in 14 months, bringing their total unit count to over 1,300. NorthMarq Capital arranged the life company financing and Joshua Partners was the lead investor.

Synchrotron study shows how nitric oxide kills

2010-12-09

Nitric oxide is a toxic pollutant, but the human body also creates it and uses it to attack invading microbes and parasites. A new study by researchers at UC Davis, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) shows how nitric oxide, attacks an important group of proteins critical to cell survival. A paper describing the work was published Dec. 6 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. "This information can be used to learn more about possible treatments for nitric oxide toxicity and to help design ...

Scientists discover brain's inherent ability to focus learning

2010-12-09

Medical researchers have found a missing link that explains the interaction between brain state and the neural triggers responsible for learning, potentially opening up new ways of boosting cognitive function in the face of diseases such as Alzheimer's as well as enhancing memory in healthy people. Much is known about the neural processes that occur during learning but until now it has not been clear why it occurs during certain brain states but not others. Now researchers from the University of Bristol have been able to study, in isolation, the specific neurotransmitter ...

A swarm of ancient stars

2010-12-09

The globular cluster Messier 107, also known as NGC 6171, is a compact and ancient family of stars that lies about 21 000 light-years away. Messier 107 is a bustling metropolis: thousands of stars in globular clusters like this one are concentrated into a space that is only about twenty times the distance between our Sun and its nearest stellar neighbour, Alpha Centauri, across. A significant number of these stars have already evolved into red giants, one of the last stages of a star's life, and have a yellowish colour in this image. Globular clusters are among the oldest ...

Low and high vitamin D levels in older women associated with increased likelihood of frailty

2010-12-09

Chevy Chase, MD—A recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) found that lower and higher vitamin D levels were associated with an increased likelihood of frailty in older women. Women with vitamin D levels between 20.0 and 29.9 ng/ml were at the lowest risk of frailty. Vitamin D deficiency and frailty are common with aging. Dimensions of frailty, including weakness and slowness are potential outcomes of vitamin D deficiency and many experts have recommended measuring vitamin D levels in older ...

New test shows promise for accurate early diagnosis of Turner syndrome

2010-12-09

Chevy Chase, MD—A recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) has demonstrated a novel and accurate test for early diagnosis of Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome affects one in 1,500 to 2,000 female live births and early diagnosis allows for the timely management of short stature and co-morbid conditions including cardiac and renal problems. Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common genetic problem affecting girls with short stature. Average adult height in untreated girls with TS is 4 feet, 8 inches, ...

Weightlifting does not appear to increase risk of arm swelling for breast cancer survivors

2010-12-09

A slowly progressive weight lifting program for breast cancer survivors did not increase their risk of lymphedema (arm swelling and discomfort), according to a study that will appear in the December 22/29 issue of JAMA. The study is being released early online to coincide with its presentation at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Lymphedema is a frequent complication among breast cancer survivors and ranks high among their concerns, as it may impair arm function and quality of life. "Breast cancer survivors at risk for lymphedema alter activity, limit, activity, ...

Weightlifting slashes lymphedema risk after breast cancer treatment

2010-12-09

(SAN ANTONIO) -- Weightlifting may play a key role in the prevention of the painful limb-swelling condition lymphedema following breast cancer treatment, according to new research from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Combined with the team's previous findings that the exercise limits a worsening of symptoms among women who already have lymphedema, the new data cements the reversal of long-running advice that breast cancer survivors should avoid lifting anything heavier than five pounds after they finish treatment. The research results will be presented ...

Astronomers detect first carbon-rich exoplanet

2010-12-09

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A team led by a former postdoctoral researcher in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics, recently measured the first-ever planetary atmosphere that is substantially enriched in carbon. The researchers found that the carbon-to-oxygen ratio of WASP-12b, an exoplanet about 1.4 times the mass of Jupiter and located about 1,200 light years away, is greater than one. As they report in a paper to be published on Dec. 8 in Nature, this carbon-rich atmosphere supports the possibility that rocky ...
