RALEIGH, NC, February 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) Contractor Training, announced today that they are offering the new EPA Lead Safety Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) courses throughout North Carolina including; Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Cary, and Fayetteville. This training will meet the EPA training requirements for working on residential housing or child occupied facilities built before 1978, including procedures for testing for lead. Completion of this training will qualify you for an EPA certificate as a Certified Renovator.
"As a licensed general contractor and remodeler myself, I understand how difficult it is to stay current with new rules and regulations in the construction business," said Robert Attaway, President, Contractor Training. "It seems like our industry is often singled out for burdensome rules and regulations because of the actions of a few unscrupulous characters," said Attaway. "Normally these new rules come from local governments, but this time it is coming from the Federal Government, more specifically the EPA. This is a far reaching rule and will change how repair work is done on all houses built before 1978, including the requirement for a Certified Renovator on each of these jobs to help prevent lead poisoning. EPA's fines under these environmental laws are also big and can go as high as $37,500 per day."
Contractor Training is here to help you learn how to comply with these new environmental protection act rules and hopefully give you a competitive advantage. We have scheduled classes every month in Raleigh, Charlotte or Wilmington and are willing to hold classes at your site anywhere in North or South Carolina if you have a minimum of four students.

Genetic variants affect arsenic metabolism and toxicity in Bangladesh
2012-02-24
A large-scale genomic study conducted in Bangladesh has discovered genetic variants that control arsenic metabolism and elevate the risk of skin lesions in people chronically exposed to arsenic. In PLoS Genetics, researchers from the University of Chicago, Columbia University, the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research in Bangladesh, and the University of North Carolina report that genetic variants found near the enzyme for metabolizing the chemical into a less toxic form are associated with an individual's risk of developing arsenic-related disease.

For fish, fear smells like sugar
2012-02-24
When one fish gets injured, the rest of the school takes off in fear, tipped off by a mysterious substance known as "Schreckstoff" (meaning "scary stuff" in German). Now, researchers reporting online on February 23 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology have figured out what that scary stuff is really made of.
Within that chemical brew is a special type of sugar found in abundance in fish skin. When a fish is wounded, fragments of the sugar known as chondroitin sulfate alarm other fish nearby.
"Our results provide a solution to a 70-year-old puzzle: the nature of ...
Disarming the botulinum neurotoxin
2012-02-24
LA JOLLA, Calif., February 23, 2012 – Researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) and the Medical School of Hannover in Germany recently discovered how the botulinum neurotoxin, a potential bioterrorism agent, survives the hostile environment in the stomach on its journey through the human body. Their study, published February 24 in Science, reveals the first 3D structure of a neurotoxin together with its bodyguard, a protein made simultaneously in the same bacterium. The bodyguard keeps the toxin safe through the gut, then lets go as the ...
Plastic Surgeon Comments on Tummy Tuck Advancements
2012-02-24
It's 2012, which for the plastic surgery industry means more advancements than ever before.
While groundbreaking technology and the emergence of new surgical techniques are exciting, potential patients should be sure that these innovations are time-tested before seriously considering them. A tummy tuck surgeon in Birmingham, Dr. Michael Beckenstein, stresses that patients should choose a surgeon based on the doctor's qualifications and experience with a particular procedure, and not just because he or she offers the "latest and greatest" treatments.

Study: Evolution of earliest horses driven by climate change
2012-02-24
When Sifrhippus, the earliest known horse, first appeared in the forests of North America more than 50 million years ago, it would not have been mistaken for a Clydesdale. It weighed in at around 12 pounds -- and it was destined to get much smaller over the ensuing millennia.
Sifrhippus lived during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a 175,000-year interval of time some 56 million years ago in which average global temperatures rose by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, caused by the release of vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and oceans.

Genetic risk for elevated arsenic toxicity discovered
2012-02-24
One of the first large-scale genomic studies conducted in a developing country has discovered genetic variants that elevate the risk for skin lesions in people chronically exposed to arsenic. Genetic changes found near the enzyme for metabolizing the chemical into a less toxic form can significantly increase an individual's risk for developing arsenic-related disease.
The discovery could point the way to new screening and intervention options for people who are exposed to groundwater with high levels of arsenic, said scientists at the University of Chicago Medicine, Columbia ...
