LEWISTON, ID, December 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Creative designer Tara Shah and the team at Tara's Elegance, which offers a line of premium jeans, have announced the launch of a modeling competition for women between the ages of 14 and 30. Hopeful models can upload their photos via a special contest application on Facebook between now and Dec. 27, 2012. The winners will receive prizes valued at more than $4,000.
The Tara's Elegance modeling contest is designed to identify promising new models and to offer these women the opportunity to work with fashion industry professionals. Contest entrants need not have any prior experience in professional modeling or the fashion industry. Tara's Elegance Facebook fans will vote on contest entrants, choosing 10 models to move onto the live competition in Idaho's Lewis Clark Valley. The finalists will receive professional modeling coaching offered by industry experts in order to prepare them for their runway debut.
Hopeful models from all 50 states and the District of Columbia are encouraged to enter the modeling contest. Models who hold exclusive contracts may not enter as they may be subject to breach of contract for participating in the contest. While fashion models from around the nation can enter the contest, modeling coaching and the Tara's Elegance fashion show will be held in the greater Lewis Clark Valley area. To participate in the contest, models must submit a full-body shot of themselves in a semi-formal outfit via the contest app on Facebook. Hopeful models must be able to wear premium jeans in sizes 2 to 6 and should have bright personalities. The winner of the contest will have the opportunity to represent Tara's Elegance in advertising and in fashion shows.
Designer Tara Shah combines classic sophistication with modern trends to create comfortable and fashionable premium jeans for women of all ages. Inspired by the clothing of her native Nepal, Shah focuses on bringing together culture and fashion. The company's jeans are available online at the Tara's Elegance website at www.taraselegance.com. The company is headquartered in Lewiston, Idaho.

Meditation with art therapy can change your brain and lower anxiety
2012-11-30
(PHILADELPHIA) – Cancer and stress go hand-in-hand, and high stress levels can lead to poorer health outcomes in cancer patients. The Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine combined creative art therapy with a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for women with breast cancer and showed changes in brain activity associated with lower stress and anxiety after the eight-week program. Their new study appears in the December issue of the journal Stress and Health.

As cigarette taxes go up, heavy smoking goes down
2012-11-30
Audio available at: https://news.wustl.edu/news/Pages/24616.aspx
When cigarette taxes rise, hard-core smokers are more likely than lighter smokers to cut back, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
"Most clinicians and researchers thought these very heavy smokers would be the most resistant to price increases," says first author Patricia A. Cavazos-Rehg, PhD. "Many believed this group was destined to continue smoking heavily forever, but our study points out that, in fact, change can occur. And that's very good news."

Clinical trial delivers good results in leukemia patients
2012-11-30
SALT LAKE CITY—Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) researchers Michael Deininger, M.D., Ph.D., and Thomas O'Hare, Ph.D., were part of a team that found a potent oral drug, ponatinib, effective in patients who have developed resistance to standard treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (Ph+ ALL). The New England Journal of Medicine released results of the trial today.
In the phase I clinical trial conducted at five cancer centers nationwide, ponatinib was highly active in patients with CML and Ph+ ALL ...
Prenatal intervention reduces learning deficit in mice
2012-11-30
Mice with a condition that serves as a laboratory model for Down syndrome perform better on memory and learning tasks as adults if they were treated before birth with neuroprotective peptides, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health.
Down syndrome results when an individual receives an extra copy of chromosome 21. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome occurs in 1 of every 691 births. Features of Down syndrome include delays in mental and physical development and poor muscle tone. These features may vary greatly, ...
New radio telescope could save world billions
2012-11-30
A small pocket of Western Australia's remote outback is set to become the eye on the sky and could potentially save the world billions of dollars. The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope, unveiled today, Friday 30 November, will give the world a dramatically improved view of the Sun and provide early warning to prevent damage to communication satellites, electric power grids and GPS navigation systems.
The $51 million low-frequency radio telescope will be able to detect and monitor massive solar storms, such as the one that cut power to six million people ...
Intermountain Healthcare Cancer research provides possible road map for improving healthcare
2012-11-30
SALT LAKE CITY – Given the right equipment, training and skill, an individual surgeon can expect to provide the best possible care on a consistent basis. But how do you get an entire system of surgeons — each with his or her own ideas, backgrounds, and routines — to provide that same level of care?
A series of studies directed by Intermountain Healthcare's Oncology Clinical Program shows that it's possible to improve care across the board if you tackle the problem in a standardized way, relying on the best evidence available.
"It sounds simple, but it's really very ...
Grey-mouse lemurs serve as model for the early primates from which humans evolved
2012-11-30
New research shows first evidence of paternal voice recognition in solitary foraging species, provides insight into early primates from which humans evolved
Think of the last time you screamed. Chances are you attracted someone's attention. What about the last time someone flirted with you? You were likely more selective in your response.
New research findings from Arizona State University and the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in Germany demonstrate that a less social species – the grey-mouse lemur - pays attention to alarm calls regardless of whom they ...
Even brown dwarfs may grow rocky planets
2012-11-30
Rocky planets are thought to form through the random collision and sticking together of what are initially microscopic particles in the disc of material around a star. These tiny grains, known as cosmic dust, are similar to very fine soot or sand. However, in the outer regions around a brown dwarf -- a star-like object, but one too small to shine brightly like a star -- astronomers expected that grains could not grow because the discs were too sparse, and particles would be moving too fast to stick together after colliding. Also, prevailing theories say that any grains ...
Electrically spun fabric offers dual defense against pregnancy, HIV
2012-11-30
The only way to protect against HIV and unintended pregnancy today is the condom. It's an effective technology, but not appropriate or popular in all situations.
A University of Washington team has developed a versatile platform to simultaneously offer contraception and prevent HIV. Electrically spun cloth with nanometer-sized fibers can dissolve to release drugs, providing a platform for cheap, discrete and reversible protection.
The research was published this week in the Public Library of Science's open-access journal PLoS One. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ...
