LOS ANGELES, CA, December 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) The spirit of Christmas was never felt more for 50 struggling Southeast Los Angeles families than when La Bella joined with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and Univision Radio to host a Posada Navidena event full of joy and hope for the neediest.
Eager children frolicked around a jolly red-suited Santa Claus whose day job finds him as LAPD Southeast Los Angeles Captain Phillip Tingirides. Every child received toys, and all enjoyed the presence of Latin pop artist Luz Rios, along with a festive hot dinner followed by a fantastical chocolate cake.
La Bella Beauty's involvement in and support of the community has risen as California has risen to one of the top 10 states in number of mortgage foreclosures, according to MarketWatch. The Los Angeles area population has been particularly hard hit, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting an unemployment rate over 12.5 percent.
Each family participating in Posada Navidena on Dec. 10, 2010, received a bag containing a 22-ounce Super Spike Styling Gel, a 22-ounce Wet Shine Styling Gel, 22-ounce Extreme Sport Styling Gel and a Chamomile Conditioning Shampoo.
Business incubator Power Woman Business Center, established by advertising agency Power Media Group, backed the event with client referrals for in-kind donations.

Texas A&M research shows bacteria provide example of one of nature's first immune systems
2010-12-28
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Dec. 23, 2010—Studying how bacteria incorporate foreign DNA from invading viruses into their own regulatory processes, Thomas Wood, professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, is uncovering the secrets of one of nature's most primitive immune systems.
His findings, which appear in "Nature Communications," a multidisciplinary publication dedicated to research in all areas of the biological, physical and chemical sciences, shed light on how bacteria have throughout the course of millions of years developed ...
New clues uncover how 'starvation hormone' works, investigators at UT Southwestern report
2010-12-28
DALLAS – Dec. 26, 2010 – New findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers may solve a 17-year-old mystery about how the so-called "starvation hormone" affects multiple biological systems, including preventing insulin sensitivity and promoting cell survival.
The results connect multiple observations about how the hormone adiponectin functions and eventually could lead to new treatments for conditions ranging from diabetes and weight loss to heart disease and cancer.
"Until now, there wasn't really an obvious connection between all these different phenomena," ...
Longevinex exerts greater influence over genes than resveratrol
2010-12-28
Las Vegas, NV (Dec. 24, 2010) - Three weeks of oral resveratrol or Longevinex® ingestion prior to an induced heart attack returned microRNA activity close to their pre-event levels in excised animal hearts. Among thousands of microRNA's studied, just six were attributed to exerting the majority of the gene-switching effects measured in the animal heart study — four microRNA optimally regulated by Longevinex® and two optimally by plain resveratrol.
A pre-conditioning effect with resveratrol and Longevinex® had already been demonstrated in prior studies where these small ...
Researchers: Pay more attention to epilepsy
2010-12-28
ST. PAUL, Minn. –Epilepsy, a common and serious neurologic disorder that affects millions of people, is not getting the public attention and funding for research it deserves, according to an editorial on a study published in the January 4, 2011, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"We have almost nonexistent epilepsy surveillance, or ongoing collection of data on newly diagnosed epilepsy, in the United States," said Edwin Trevathan, MD, MPH, Dean of the St. Louis University School of Public Health in St. Louis and a member ...
Human protein improves muscle function of muscular dystrophy mice
2010-12-28
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A novel potential therapy based on a natural human protein significantly slows muscle damage and improves function in mice who have the same genetic mutation as boys with the most common form of muscular dystrophy, according to a paper published online Dec. 27 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a fatal genetic mutation in about one of every 3,500 boys. They are unable to produce a protein called dystrophin that keeps muscles strong. By eight years of age, the boys begin to have trouble ...
Team overcomes major obstacles to cellulosic biofuel production
2010-12-28
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A newly engineered yeast strain can simultaneously consume two types of sugar from plants to produce ethanol, researchers report. The sugars are glucose, a six-carbon sugar that is relatively easy to ferment; and xylose, a five-carbon sugar that has been much more difficult to utilize in ethanol production. The new strain, made by combining, optimizing and adding to earlier advances, reduces or eliminates several major inefficiencies associated with current biofuel production methods.
The findings, from a collaborative led by researchers at the University ...
Mechanisms of juvenile hormone action in insects could help fine tune pesticides
2010-12-28
Just as raging hormones are part of the process of a child's maturation through the teen years to adulthood, juvenile hormones, a group of insect isoprenoids, play an important role as butterflies, fruit flies and mosquitoes transform their body structures as they molt from larva to pupa and then adults.
Unlike humans, in insects the juvenile hormone inhibits development of adult characteristics until the insects reach a proper stage. Juvenile hormones also play a prominent role in regulating reproductive maturation in adult insects and synthetic juvenile hormone mimics ...
Full woodland strawberry genome sequenced
2010-12-28
In a collaborative effort involving 74 researchers from 38 research institutes, scientists have produced the full genome of a wild strawberry plant. The research appeared today in Nature Genetics. Drs. Asaph Aharoni and Avital Adato of the Weizmann Institute's Plant Sciences Department were the sole Israeli scientists participating in the project, but they made a major contribution in mapping the genes and gene families responsible for the strawberry's flavor and aroma.
The woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is closely related to garden-variety cultivated strawberry. ...
Standardized protocols would greatly enhance clinical and research potential of BTMs
2010-12-28
An expert working group of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) has released a new position paper which reviews the evidence of bone turnover markers (BTMs) in fracture risk prediction and monitoring of osteoporosis therapy. More importantly, it identifies research priorities and recommends that specific markers be used as reference analytes for BTMs in clinical and observational studies.
BTMs have been extensively studied in relation to fracture risk assessment and have ...
Parents' social problems affect their children -- even in birds
2010-12-28
It may come as a surprise to many that quails are able to distinguish one another, let alone that they form close relationships with other quails. Nevertheless, it has long been known that disruption of the birds' social environment causes them stress. A group within the UMR 6552 at the CNRS-Université de Rennes 1 in France has been studying the influence of adults on the behavioural development of their offspring. Together with scientists in Austria, they have now shown that changing the composition of groups of quails housed together causes the birds to behave more ...
