ANNAPOLIS, MD, December 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) Boss Creations has launched its CHRIST-mas Tree and "Christian Nation" CHRIST-mas Tree, featuring an illuminated cross in the center. The creator, Marsha Boggs, says Glenn Beck was her inspiration to make a difference in America.
"I believe we need to take a stand and rescue our religious holiday," says Marsha Boggs, founder of Boss Creations. "The new tradition of celebrating Christmas with a CHRIST-mas Tree will help put an end to the secularization of Christmas while enhancing the family's celebration. We also hope to spark the curiosity and develop dialogue with those who may celebrate Christmas but who may not know the true meaning for holiday."
The growing debate over the "War on Christmas" has erupted in legal battles and widespread media attention in recent years. Bans on religious symbolism in public areas and retailers who substitute "happy holidays" for "Merry Christmas" have Christian groups upset by what they consider the secularization of the Christmas holiday.
"This is not about picking a fight with people over religion," says Boggs. "This is about rescuing our rights as Christians in America and salvaging and enhancing our Christian holiday."
Boggs says her company is making a statement of faith and wants others to join her in what she considers to be a part of an important movement nationwide to rescue our country from those who would like to diminish our Christian heritage and traditions.
"We're getting an incredible response from people all over the country," says Boggs. "So many Americans are troubled by the secularization of Christmas and the politically correct environment we're living in. One example is that of Senator Inhofe, whose office has embraced the idea of the CHRIST-mas Tree and who boycotted the annual Tulsa Christmas Parade of Lights due to the politically-correct organizers who changed the name to the "Holiday" Parade Lights."
Boss Creations was founded in 2007 and is known for creating the CHRIST-mas Tree. Two new designs of The CHRIST-mas Tree are available this year - The CHRIST-mas Tree II and the "Christian Nation" CHRIST-mas Tree. Both are available at http://bosscreations.net/ and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warriors Project, a non-profit charity for wounded veterans. The company also offers a variety of ornaments, wreaths, patriotic and gift items, all with Christian-based themes. Visit http://bosscreations.net/ for more information or call 888-897-0772.

The stemness of cancer cells
2010-12-15
LA JOLLA, CA-A close collaboration between researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the Institute for Advanced Study found that the tumor suppressor p53, long thought of as the "Guardian of the Genome," may do more than thwart cancer-causing mutations. It may also prevent established cancer cells from sliding toward a more aggressive, stem-like state by serving as a "Guardian against Genome Reprogramming."
The new work, reported by Geoffrey M. Wahl, Ph.D., and Benjamin Spike, Ph.D., at Salk Institute and Arnold J. Levine, Ph.D., and Hideaki Mizuno, ...
Scientists ashore assist in discovery of tubeworm colony off Cyprus
2010-12-15
NARRAGANSETT, R.I. – December 13, 2010 -- When a field of tubeworms was unexpectedly discovered on the side of a large underwater mountain 50 miles off the coast of Cyprus this summer, the finding was notable both for the discovery itself and for the process of the discovery.
Found by a team of researchers led by marine explorer Robert Ballard, the tubeworms, in the genus Siboglinidae, have a symbiotic relationship with chemosynthetic bacteria; they both work together to metabolize warm, mineral-rich water that is seeping out of the seafloor. Numerous colonies of the ...
USDA scientists discover how foot-and-mouth disease virus begins infection in cattle
2010-12-15
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have identified the primary site where the virus that causes foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) begins infection in cattle. This discovery could lead to development of new vaccines to control and potentially eradicate FMD, a highly contagious and sometimes fatal viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals that is considered the most economically devastating livestock disease in the world.
The discovery was made by scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Foreign Animal Disease Research Unit at the Plum Island Animal ...
Transcription factor clears protein clumps in Huntington's mice models
2010-12-15
Over expressing a transcription factor that promotes the increase in number of mitochondria greatly improves the neurological function of transgenic mice models for Huntington's disease (HD), researchers today told the American Society of Cell Biology's 50th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
Albert La Spada, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues at the UC San Diego (UCSD) explained that over expression of the transcription factor results in a substantial clearing of the mutant protein aggregates in the brains of the mice models for HD.
The misfolded huntingtin (htt) proteins ...

High activity staves off pounds, especially for women
2010-12-15
CHICAGO --- People will gain significantly less weight by middle age – especially women – if they engage in moderate to vigorous activity nearly every day of the week starting as young adults, according to new Northwestern Medicine research.
Women particularly benefitted from high activity over 20 years, gaining an average of 13 pounds less than those with low activity; while men with high activity gained about 6 pounds less than their low-activity peers. High activity included recreational exercise such as basketball, running, brisk walking or an exercise class or ...
Maintaining high physical activity level for many years lessens weight gain going into middle age
2010-12-15
Young adults, particularly women, who maintained high levels of moderate and vigorous activity over a period of 20 years experienced smaller gains in weight and waist circumference during the transition from young adulthood to middle age, compared to individuals with lower activity levels, according a study in the December 15 issue of JAMA.
The prevalence of obesity has increased markedly since 1976, now exceeding 30 percent among U.S. adults, and has well-known associations with illness and disability. Although many studies have examined treatments for obesity, data ...
