There are over 15,000 general contractors in Oregon, with the majority of them building tract homes, In-Fill Housing (New, Craftsman looking houses, built with building center materials), and an abundance of contractors attempting the turn of the Century Victorians, Craftmans and Bungalows. With great art and skill required to restore these homes, there are only a handful of craftsman able to accomplish this. These talented contractors will confirm that restoration is not only extremely expensive but also laboriously time consuming. Vintage house parts are becoming harder and harder to find and when found, more than likely need restoring themselves. Most run of the mill contractors will neglect the fact that older homes are not energy efficient and have potential problems way beyond the 12" mahogany crown molding such as 100 year old wiring, plumbing and lack of proper insulation. These homes can also be extremely unhealthy, depending on their condition. The majority of turn of the century homes contain lead, asbestos, mold and other dangerous materials that, if not dealt with properly, can put you and your loved ones at great risk and turn your home or workplace in to a biohazard.

Nuclear receptors battle it out during metamorphosis in new fruit fly model
2011-10-10
PHILADELPHIA—Growing up just got more complicated. Thomas Jefferson University biochemistry researchers have shown for the first time that the receptor for a major insect molting hormone doesn't activate and repress genes as once thought. In fact, it only activates genes, and it is out-competed by a heme-binding receptor to repress the same genes during the larval to pupal transition in the fruit fly.
For the last 20 years, the nuclear receptor known as EcR/Usp was thought to solely control gene transcription depending on the presence or absence of the hormone ecdysone, ...

Investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) have found that Sox2 – one of the transcription factors used in the conversion of adult stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) – is expressed in many adult tissues where it had not been previously observed.

Most humans come to terms with it eventually and the situation in animals is probably no different. How weaning takes place, however, can have a dramatic effect on the length of time required to overcome the shock. That this is so, at least for horses, comes from the latest work of the team of Christine Aurich at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. Weaning is least stressful ...
