WORCESTER, ENGLAND, October 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) npower hometeam has launched a new winter cashback scheme, which will see customers installing a new boiler receive a one off cash payment towards their winter gas bill.
The npower winter gas cashback deal means that any homeowners installing a new A-rated boiler through the company will receive GBP349 cashback, the equivalent value of the average winter gas bill from December to February*. What's more, by having a new A-rated boiler installed, homeowners could save an additional GBP225 in energy costs.**
Richard Cotton, head of sales for npower hometeam, commented: "As the weather gets colder and homeowners turn their heating back on, many people with boilers over ten years old may find their systems are increasingly inefficient and are more likely to break down, which is the last thing you need during the winter months.
"By installing a new A-rated energy efficient boiler, they'll not only get added peace of mind, but could also save hundreds of pounds in heating bills. At npower, we realise that having a new boiler installed is a big investment, which is why we've launched our winter gas cash back deal."
npower's winter cashback offer is available to any homeowner installing a new A-rated boiler with npower hometeam until the end of the year.
For customers who want to protect their gas boiler, npower also has a pioneering new boiler care service called npower hometeam 50. It offers boiler care including an annual boiler service usually worth GBP74 and repairs.
hometeam 50 is priced exactly the same as British Gas' Homecare Flexi 100 at GBP10.50 a month with a fixed fee of GBP50 per repair, and offers the same service - save for one important difference - npower's 50% No Call Out Cash Back.
If you're an npower gas and electricity customer and don't call out npower hometeam to work on your boiler during the 12 month agreement period, npower returns 50% of the cost of your annual membership to you after your year's anniversary, worth GBP63.
*Based on 20,500kWh gas consumption per annum and seasonal profiling

Classroom canines stimulate children's love of literacy
2010-10-02
University of Alberta researcher Lori Friesen's classroom assistants are very attentive, love to listen to children read and can keep their composure in a classroom full of energetic Grade 2 students. However, her assistants are more likely to lick the students' faces than give them a gold star.
Friesen's says her work with her "literacy dogs," Tango and Sparky, in one city-area classroom yielded some highly positive successes for the children and her research.
In Friesen's research, children signed up for weekly reading or writing sessions with her and one of the dogs. ...
Researchers discover genetic changes that make some forms of brain cancer more aggressive
2010-10-02
NEW YORK, October 1, 2010--A multi-institutional team led by investigators from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has published a study that provides new insight into genetic changes that make some forms of glioblastoma, the most common type of primary brain cancer, more aggressive than others and explains why they may not respond to certain therapies. The research was led by senior author Eric C. Holland, MD, PhD,--an MSKCC surgeon, researcher and the Director of the Brain Tumor Center--and was published in the October 1 issue of the journal Genes & Development.

Surgeons at UW Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle and at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine have determined that transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery (TONES) is a safe, effective option for treating a variety of advanced brain diseases and traumatic injuries.

How warm was this summer?
2010-10-02
An unparalleled heat wave in eastern Europe, coupled with intense droughts and fires around Moscow, put Earth's temperatures in the headlines this summer. Likewise, a string of exceptionally warm days in July in the eastern United States strained power grids, forced nursing home evacuations, and slowed transit systems. Both high-profile events reinvigorated questions about humanity's role in climate change.
But, from a global perspective, how warm was the summer exactly? How did the summer's temperatures compare with previous years? And was global warming the "cause" ...

Research identifies a new bacterial foe in CF
2010-10-02
Exacerbations in cystic fibrosis (CF) may be linked to chronic infection with a bacterium called Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which was previously thought to simply colonize the CF lung. The finding that chronic infection with S. maltophilia is independently linked with an increased risk of exacerbations gives clinicians and researchers a new potential measure of the health status of CF patients, as well as a new potential target in fighting their disease.
The findings were published online ahead of the print edition of the American Thoracic Society's American Journal ...
Going from strength to strength: effects of growth hormone on muscle
2010-10-02
Growth hormone is used to treat children's growth disorders and has been used by some sports men and women to promote muscle growth and regeneration. This is because it coordinates skeletal muscle development, nutrient uptake, and nutrient utilization. It is not clear, however, which of these effects are direct and which are indirectly mediated via growth hormone induction of the protein IGF-1. Now, however, a team of researchers, led by Thomas Clemens, at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, has used mice engineered to lack in their skeletal muscle either ...
