ATLANTA, GA, March 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) Some home improvement projects fall short in return on investment. Premier Surfaces, a leading provider of granite countertops in Atlanta, is educating homeowners on the improvements that increase market value. As most realtors will tell you, kitchens and bathrooms are where the sale is made.
The paint colors in a home are easily and inexpensively changed, and chances are that a homebuyer is going to change the wall colors anyway. Complete kitchen remodels certainly create a wow-factor that will boost the value of a home, but the cost is prohibitive for many homeowners, and the work required is lengthy and messy.
Kitchens and bathrooms can benefit from a significant facelift simply by replacing outdated countertops with new custom countertops in Atlanta. At various price points, homeowners can choose from granite countertops, soapstone countertops, silestone countertops, concrete countertops, and a growing number of eco-friendly countertops in Atlanta, just to name a few.
Dara Summers, VP of Sales and Marketing for Premier Surfaces, a countertop company in Atlanta and Alabama, reminds homeowners that, "Not every investment will actually pay off when you try to sell. For example, swimming pools are great for summer fun, but they may actually hinder the resale of a home. New countertops, however, can beautify your home while you're living there and still provide great ROI when you're ready to move."
By choosing smart upgrades such as new countertops in Atlanta, GA, a home's value will likely increase feature such as these are quickly becoming the standard for kitchens and bathrooms. Potential buyers will often not consider a home without granite countertops since they are so popular and readily available these days. Being competitive is crucial in a tough housing market.

Research on rare bone disorder reveals new insights into autism
2012-03-13
LA JOLLA, Calif., March 12, 2012 – Children with multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE), an inherited genetic disease, suffer from multiple growths on their bones that cause pain and disfigurement. But beyond the physical symptoms of this condition, some parents have long observed that their children with MHE also experience autism-like social problems. Buoyed by the support of these parents, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) used a mouse model of MHE to investigate cognitive function. They found that mice with a genetic defect that ...
Smartphones more accurate, faster, cheaper for disease surveillance
2012-03-13
Smartphones are showing promise in disease surveillance in the developing world. The Kenya Ministry of Health, along with researchers in Kenya for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that smartphone use was cheaper than traditional paper survey methods to gather disease information, after the initial set-up cost. Survey data collected with smartphones also in this study had fewer errors and were more quickly available for analyses than data collected on paper, according to a study presented today at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious ...
A clinical study: Selective neck dissection in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
2012-03-13
Alexandria, VA — Metastasis of tumors to level IIb lymph nodes is rare in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC); this area can be ignored during selective neck dissection (SND) to avoid damaging the spinal accessory nerve (SAN), making this surgery more conservative and minimizing SAN morbidity, according to the March 2012 issue of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.
The authors acknowledge that the medical literature stresses the importance of preserving the SAN to prevent postoperative limitations in shoulder function and pain in patients who undergo ...

Correcting human mitochondrial mutations
2012-03-13
Researchers at the UCLA stem cell center and the departments of chemistry and biochemistry and pathology and laboratory medicine have identified, for the first time, a generic way to correct mutations in human mitochondrial DNA by targeting corrective RNAs, a finding with implications for treating a host of mitochondrial diseases.
Mutations in the human mitochondrial genome are implicated in neuromuscular diseases, metabolic defects and aging. There currently are no methods to successfully repair or compensate for these mutations, said study co-senior author Dr. Michael ...
The first dinosaur discovered in Spain is younger than originally thought
2012-03-13
The research group from Aragon that has the same name as the first Aragosaurus ischiaticus dinosaur discovered 25 years ago in Teruel reveals that it is 15 million years younger than originally believed. Its new dating now means that it was the ancestor of the Titanosauriforms, which includes the biggest dinosaurs.
The Aragosaurus was the first sauropod dinosaur described in Spain some 25 years ago in Galve (Teruel), but its age was never clear. And now it has been discovered that it is 15 million years younger than previously thought. This would make it the only dinosaur ...
Powerful treatment provides effective relief for urinary incontinence -- new study
2012-03-13
The biggest study into the treatment of urinary incontinence with botulinum toxin (trade name Botox) has demonstrated that it is effective in treating overactive bladder (OAB) - a debilitating common condition which can affect up to 20% of people over the age of 40.
The study from the University of Leicester was led by Dr. Douglas Tincello, Senior Lecturer at the University and Honorary Consultant Gynaecologist at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
Dr Tincello, of the University of Leicester's Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine, has published ...
Defect in transport system causes DNA chaos in red blood cells
2012-03-13
Within all our cells lies two meters of DNA, highly ordered in a structure of less than 10 micro meters in diameter. Special proteins called histones act as small building bricks, organising our DNA in this structure. Preservation of the structure is necessary to maintain correct function of our genes, making histones detrimental for maintaining a healthy and functional body. The research group of Associate Professor Anja Groth from BRIC, University of Copenhagen, has just elucidated a function of the protein Codanin-1, shedding light on the rare anemic disease CDAI where ...
Butterfly molecule may aid quest for nuclear clean-up technology
2012-03-13
Scientists have produced a previously unseen uranium molecule, in a development that could help improve clean-up processes for nuclear waste.
The distinctive butterfly-shaped compound is similar to radioactive molecules that scientists had proposed to be key components of nuclear waste, but were thought too unstable to exist for long.
Researchers have shown the compound to be robust, which implies that molecules with a similar structure may be present in radioactive waste.
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh, who carried out the study, say this suggests the ...
Growing market for human organs exploits poor
2012-03-13
EAST LANSING, Mich. — A Michigan State University anthropologist who spent more than a year infiltrating the black market for human kidneys has published the first in-depth study describing the often horrific experiences of poor people who were victims of organ trafficking.
Monir Moniruzzaman interviewed 33 kidney sellers in his native Bangladesh and found they typically didn't get the money they were promised and were plagued with serious health problems that prevented them from working, shame and depression.
The study, which appears in Medical Anthropology Quarterly, ...
