Watts Water Technologies, based in North Andover, Mass., joins more than 75 manufacturing brands currently using HomeSphere's BRI lead generation and marketing program to produce new builder leads and strengthen existing business, thus growing their market share through increased homebuilder sales.

"With HomeSphere's expertise and established industry relationships, their team is the perfect fit to help us gain awareness and grow our business with small to mid-tier builders," said Taylor Grist, National Sales Manager for Watts Water Technologies.

BRI is a unique builder rebate management and building product manufacturer lead generation application serving the residential construction industry. Manufacturers use the BRI service to open sales channels with thousands of homebuilders and remodeling contractors, gaining inroads to new accounts and building recognition for their products and services. Builders, on the other hand, gain product knowledge and manage their cash-producing rebates, helping them to improve their bottom line.

Watts Water Technologies brands on the BRI program include BLUCHER, BRAE, Dormont, Watts, and Watts Radiant. BLUCHER has a worldwide reputation as a manufacturer of quality stainless steel drainage products and systems. BRAE offers a full line of rainwater harvesting systems for residential and commercial applications.

Watts Radiant is a leading provider of radiant floor heating and snow melting systems in North America.

"Watts Water Technologies brands offer an extensive line of products for water control, conservation, safety and quality, yet many builders may not be aware of the company's many products," said Chris Toth, HomeSphere's Vice President of Sales. "We hope to be an extension of the Watts Water sales team--to build awareness and educate our builders about the brands of Watts Water and the diverse product offering they have available on the BRI program."

Clinical insight improves treatment with new lung cancer drug

2012-04-05

AURORA, Colo. (April 4, 2012) - Men experience a marked drop in their testosterone levels when taking a targeted therapy to control a specific type of lung cancer. That's according to a University of Colorado Cancer Center study published in the April issue of Cancer, the official journal of the American Cancer Society. Investigators at CU Cancer Center looked at the hormone levels in men with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) taking crizotinib, after a 35-year-old man on the drug reported symptoms that are often attributed ...

Dino eggs shape Easter eggs, says new study

2012-04-05

An international group of researchers has helped to determine that dinosaurs have shaped the Easter eggs we buy in the high street. Scientists investigating whether 70 million-year-old fossil eggs found in the Pyrenees were laid by birds, or their dinosaur ancestors, have published their findings in the current issue of the journal Palaeontology. And researchers from the University of Leicester have extended the study further by comparing Easter egg shapes to those of birds' and dino eggs. The authors of the Pyrenees research, Nieves Lopez-Martinez of the Universidad ...

Superior Restoration Offers Tips for Choosing a Restoration Company

2012-04-05

In 2011, flood damage in the United States caused economic losses of more than $8 billion. In 2010, fires caused more than $11.6 billion in property damage. Each year, floods, fires and other natural disasters combine to create catastrophic financial problems for home and property owners across the country. This expense can be greatly increased if the wrong contractor or restoration specialist is chosen. In some cases, poor restoration can cause irreparable damage to possessions and homes. Superior Restoration, a San Diego-based water damage, fire and mold remediation ...

Disarming disease-causing bacteria

2012-04-05

Scientists could produce new antibacterial treatments by disarming the molecular pumps bacteria use to bring disease causing molecules in contact with animals and humans. Research published today in Nature Structure and Molecular Biology showed a protein complex called the Translocation and Assembly Module (TAM), forms a type of molecular pump, allowing bacteria to shuttle key disease causing molecules from inside the bacterial cell where they are made, to the outside surface, priming the bacteria to infect other organisms. The international research collaboration, ...

Gene mutation identified as contributor to autism spectrum disorders

2012-04-05

There is little argument among experts that autism spectrum disorders (ASD), complex developmental disabilities that vary widely in their severity, are caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Advances in genome sequencing now permit scientists to uncover specific mutations in DNA that are associated with ASD at unprecedented resolution. Such data are vital to understanding the genetic basis of the disorder. A new study co-authored by UCLA researchers has led to a better understanding of the genetic contribution to autism using this new approach. By comparing ...

To prevent leukemia's dreaded return, go for the stem cells

2012-04-05

Researchers reporting in the April Cell Stem Cell, a Cell Press publication, have found a way to stop leukemia stem cells in their tracks. The advance in mice suggests that a combination approach to therapy might stamp out chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) for good. That's in contrast to the vast majority of CML patients taking drugs like imatinib (aka Gleevec) today, who often go into remission only to see their cancer return again. It is those lingering leukemia stem cells, which stubbornly resist existing therapies, that fuel the cancer's comeback. "Imatinib inhibits ...

Tackling dyslexia before kids learn to read

2012-04-05

For children with dyslexia, the trouble begins even before they start reading and for reasons that don't necessarily reflect other language skills. That's according to a report published online on April 5 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, that for the first time reveals a causal connection between early problems with visual attention and a later diagnosis of dyslexia. "Visual attention deficits are surprisingly way more predictive of future reading disorders than are language abilities at the prereading stage," said Andrea Facoetti of the University of Padua ...

Heightened sensitivity to cheap, high-calorie food is linked with obesity

2012-04-05

Obesity is increasing worldwide in adults and children and is currently viewed by many as one of the most serious threats to public health. It is likely that solutions to the obesity pandemic will require changes in public policy and that scientific insight into obesity will be invaluable for guiding those changes. Now, a new review of human brain imaging studies published by Cell Press in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism suggests that a major reason for the dramatic increase in obesity may be a heightened sensitivity to heavily advertised and easily accessible ...

Active older adults less likely to experience psychological distress

2012-04-05

In a study examining the relationship between physical activity and physical function, researchers from Australia discovered that older adults who experienced any level of psychological distress were more than four times more likely to experience functional limitation than those who did not. This study is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Led by Gregory Kolt, PhD, of the University of Western Sydney, School of Science and Health, researchers analyzed data from nearly 100,000 Australian men and women, aged 65 and older, who participated in the ...
