Scott Weiland, best known as the frontman of the '90s alt-rock group Stone Temple Pilots, died in his sleep on Thursday in Minnesota, his manager confirmed with NBC News. He was 48.
The singer, whose musical career included a stop in San Diego in the late '80s with STP when the band was first known as Mighty Joe Young, was found unresponsive on his tour bus, according to published reports. He was slated to perform Friday in Rochester, Minnesota, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The news first broke when Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro tweeted, "Just learned our friend Scott Weiland has died. So gutted, I am thinking of his family tonight." That tweet has since been deleted.
In a statement released Friday, The Recording Academy said Weiland "will forever live on," calling him an extraordinary talent whose performances captivated audiences.
"We have lost an innovative member of our creative community and our sincerest condolences go out to Scott's family, friends, collaborators and all who have been impacted by his incredible work," the academy said in the statement.
Weiland also fronted the band Velvet Revolver with former Guns n' Roses members Slash on guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and Matt Sorum on the drums. Weiland was featured on vocals for the group's albums "Contraband" and "Libertad."
One of his signature moves onstage was to sing through a megaphone into a mic to produce a gritty sound that matched the alternative grunge style of the music he played through out his career.
For "Contraband," Weiland helped produce the album from an in-patient rehab facility. The rock star was ordered to spend 10 days in the residential facility after he pleaded no-contest to two counts of felony drug possession. The judge allowed him to leave four hours a day to finish the album, according to E! news.
Months after the the felony drug possession charges, Weiland crashed his BMW into a parked car in Hollywood while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, according to E!
Stone Temple Pilots, made up of Weiland along with two brothers Robert and Dean DeLeo, were part of the alt-rock vanguard, releasing the album "Core" in 1992, which generated a string of hits, including "Creep." Their sophomore effort, "Purple," also went platinum, featuring the hits "Vasoline" and "Interstate Love Song."
Weiland was an on-again, off-again member of Stone Temple Pilots. In 2013, Weiland was outraged to learn he was "terminated" from the band from the press.
"I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press," the singer said in a statement. "Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out."
In 1995, Weiland was arrested for possession of cocaine and heroin following the success of the album "Purple" which ultimately got him kicked out of the Stone Temple Pilots. The rocker attemped a solo career but ended up overdosing on heroin and spent a year in Los Angeles County Jail.

Bioggio, Switzerland − 7 January 2013 − Patients with CIS have a much more aggressive cancer where progress is faster than for papillary tumours. However, there have been no recently approved treatments offering any benefit for CIS. There is therefore a high medical need for better and more innovative interventions such as TMX-101. The planned Phase II study is due to commence in March 2013 and will involve a small number of CIS patients recruited from private urology clinics in the USA to examine at the efficacy of TMX-101 over six doses.
Dr Johanna Holldack, CEO of Telormedix, commented:
"Our recently completed safety trial of TMX-101 also showed it induced a strong disease-modifying cytokine response in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We have high hopes that this means TMX-101 will demonstrate disease modifying efficacy in CIS."
Dr Stuart Holden, a prominent practicing uro-oncologist and Telormedix board member, added:
"We have known for many years that CIS patients respond well to immunotherapeutic interventions such as BCG. So there are already good reasons to be optimistic that TLR-7 mediated treatments such as TMX-101 will offer a new and effective clinical tool in the treatment of this aggressive carcinoma."
Johanna Holldack, Telormedix's Chief Executive Officer, will be presenting at the Biotech Showcase 2013 in San Francisco, CA. on Wednesday 9th January on the status of the Company's drug pipeline as well as this trial and will be available to speak to media and any other interested parties attending the conference.
About Telormedix
Telormedix (www.telormedix.com), founded in October 2007, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on targeted immunity and modulation of the innate immune system for treating cancer and autoimmune diseases. The Company's lead product, TMX-101, will shortly commence a Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of CIS (carcinoma in situ) in the bladder. In addition, Telormedix is developing novel TLR7-targeted agonists. One of these molecules, TMX-202, has recently been selected for preclinical study for the topical treatment of skin cancers and other indications. Telormedix also has a pipeline of programs for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, which includes TMX-302, a TLR7-binding small molecule showing anti-inflammatory properties in vivo.
Located in Switzerland, Telormedix is led by a highly experienced management team and backed by an international consortium of venture capitalists including Aravis Venture (Basel, Switzerland) and Proquest Investments (Princeton-San Diego, USA).
About TMX-101
Telormedix's lead product, TMX-101, is a targeted small molecule for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. The active ingredient in TMX-101 is a known immunomodulatory molecule with a favorable safety profile and a demonstrated clinical efficacy in oncological and viral diseases. The Company expects that this targeted therapy will have an improved safety and efficacy profile in comparison to standard of care. Telormedix has taken advantage of existing regulatory data and clinical experience in order to bring TMX-101 quickly through Phase I/II clinical trials.
Issued for and on behalf of Telormedix.

Brad Davis ushered in a new era for the Houston Dynamo in style on a sparkling Texas afternoon Saturday, scorching the game-winning goal from 35 yards out to fuel the Dynamo's 1-0 over D.C. United in the first game at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The decisive moment could not have played out any better for the sellout crowd of 22,039 fans or Davis, one of a number of past and present Dynamo players memorialized on pillars throughout the newest soccer-specific stadium in MLS. His left-footed shot from the center of the field curled off the outstretched hand of D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid and into the net, sending the sea of orange-clad fans into ecstasy.
Davis, who like fellow Dynamo stars Brian Ching, Geoff Cameron and Bobby Boswell had never played a home game in a soccer-specific stadium until Saturday, didn't hesitate with his celebration. He sprinted to the south stands, sprung over the end boards and was gone, swallowed up by a swooning group of team supporters who had waited since 2006 to call a new stadium their own.
The win snapped a five-game winless streak for the Dynamo (3-3-2), who played the first seven games this season on the road while their new stadium was built in the shadow of the Houston skyline.
It also tightened the team's grip in Texas on D.C. United (5-4-3), who are now winless in six games all-time in Houston. DC came into Saturday's game winners of three of their last five games overall, but never found the spark to crack Houston's defense and had to lean on Hamid to help the Dynamo from turning the game into a rout.
A number of Houston's best chances at blowing the game open fell on the foot of Ching, the Dynamo captain who last year said he would return for another season in order to call a soccer-specific stadium home. But unlike when he christened Houston's first game at Robertson Stadium in 2006 by scoring four goals, he never quite found the final touch on Saturday before he was subbed out to a standing ovation in the 84th minute.
His best chance came in the 76th minute, when Hamid parried away his shot from close range. He was back at it in the 77th minute but flicked a shot over the bar from six yards out.
Hamid also came up with a diving save on a shot from 35 yards out on midfielder Adam Moffat in the 46th and denied a chance for striker Will Bruin in the 73rd minute.
Former Houston Dynamo midfielder and current D.C. playmaker Dwayne De Rosario had a quiet day in the new stadium, but nearly assisted on the equalizer off a free kick in stoppage time. But goalkeeper Tally Hall corralled a far post header from D.C. defender Daniel Woolard to preserve the shutout.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: How Houston controlled the match
Neither team seriously threatened to score in the first half hour, although D.C. striker Maicon Santos trickled a re-directed shot from an Andy Najar cross wide of the post in the 13th minute. That was DC's best scoring chance before the break, as the Dynamo settled in and created the bulk of the opportunities, especially in the final 10 minutes of the half.
That's when Boswell tried an ambitious heel flick after Hamid punched out a Davis free kick, and then the Dynamo defender had another good look sail off his foot and over the bar in the 36th minute.
Houston's best look was still to come, however, and midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson likely won't forget it soon. He controlled a cross from winger Calen Carr in the DC box and had a clear look at the stadium's historic first goal, but scorched a shot over the crossbar with the last play of the first half.
D.C. didn't escape the match unscathed on the injury front, as midfielder Perry Kitchen had to be subbed out for Stephen King in the 29th minute after an apparent injury to his right ankle.
The Dynamo won't wait long to play their first game at BBVA Compass Stadium under the lights. They host the Portland Timbers on Tuesday evening, while D.C. United host the Colorado Rapids on May 16.

Minnesota's franchise performer Joe Mauer - the newly minted American League Most Valuable Player - will grace the cover of MLB 10 The Show, SCEA announced through its blog on Thursday.
Mauer, the Twins' catcher, follows the 2008 A.L. MVP Dustin Pedroia, who appeared on the cover of MLB 09 The Show. His appearance coincides with a new "catcher mode" in which players may call pitches and defenses, the same as Mauer and other backstops do in real games. SCEA's blog also said players may expect 11 new stadiums, daytime transitional lighting, improved pick-off capabilities to cut down on excessive stealing, better online performance to compensate for lag, plus online season leagues.
According to ESPN.com, which posted a first look at the game yesterday, MLB 10 The Show will even feature manager-meltdown animations, one recreating minor league skipper Phillip Wellman's infamous blowup from 2007 - complete with the military crawl and hurling the rosin bag grenade-style.

Fewer Cables means Reduced Complexity
Visits (14018)
Happy New Year, everyone!
I hope everyone had a nice Winter break. For my birthday last month, my good friends at [StarTech.com] sent me a nice [double-headed USB combo cable] that has both Micro-USB and Mini-USB connectors. I am always looking to reduce the number of cables I take with me on trips, and this one is perfect, as I have a Samsung 4G smart phone that uses the Micro-USB connector, and a Canon PowerShot digital camera that uses the Mini-USB connector.
(FTC Disclosure: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission may consider this a "celebrity endorsement" for StarTech's product. I have used the cable and it works as expected. My review is based on my own experience using the cable, and information publicly available. IBM and StarTech are independent companies. Aside from giving me this nice cable at no cost, I have not received any payment from StarTech or any other third party to mention them or their product on this blog, I am not affiliated with StarTech in any way, nor do I have any financial interest in their company.)
When the [Universal Serial Bus] standard first came out in the mid-1990s, my colleagues and I were all excited that this will finally put an end to all the proprietary plugs and cables that each manufacturer seemed to waste their time re-inventing the wheel with yet another cable connector. For the most part, USB has simplified this, and the USB cable can be used for both data transfer and for power charging.
Today, there are many alternatives to using a cable for data transfer, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but people are finding that their smart phones and other devices run out of juice way too often. At various conferences, I have seen several people panic looking for an electrical outlet to charge their device, and a few brazen enough to ask other attendees, "Can I plug my phone into your laptop?"
(Caution: Be careful allowing strangers to plug their device into your USB port, as this can provide data transfer in addition to power charging, spreading viruses or other malicious intent. On my Lenovo Thinkpad T410, one of the USB ports is colored yellow and is always powered on, even when my laptop is in suspend or hibernation mode. This would be a safe way to allow someone to charge off your power without concern for data transfer in either direction.)
Recently, I have flown on airplanes where each seat had a USB charging port, ideal if you want to listen to music or watch a video on your device. I have also driven a rental carthat had USB charging ports in addition to the traditional cigarette lighter option, especially useful if you need to make an emergency phone call at the side of the road, or if you are using the GPS navigation feature to find your way. These are both a good step in the right direction!
Carrying one cable instead of two might not seem like much of a big deal, but if you think about it, complexity in the IT industry is all about the number of cables admins have to deal with. The push from 1GbE to 10GbE can help reduce the number of cables. Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) takes it one step further, allowing NFS, CIFS, iSCSI and FCoE to all flow over a single cable. This can greatly reduce complexity in your IT environment.
If you are interested in reducing the complexity in your IT environment, contact your local IBM Business Partner or sales representative.

Author: Dr. Jeffrey Thompson
Size: 1.14 GB
Website: http://www.amazon.com/Brainwave-Nature-Suite-Soothing-Combined/dp/1559618787
Dr. Thompson has been experimenting with sound scientifically since 1980. He first started in his Holistic Health Center in Virginia which grew to be the largest Center of its kind in Virginia at the time. His experiments were in using exact sound frequencies to make Chiropractic spinal and cranial adjustments, to stimulate and normalize organ function and to balance Acupuncture Meridians. He developed a very gentle and effective method of making adjustments and continues to use this approach today. His gentle and effective method is much appreciated by his patients.
In addition to his chiropractic expertise, Dr. Thompson is recognized as a worldwide expert in the field of acoustic pacing frequencies incorporated into musical sound tracks. A consummate musician and composer in his own rite, he has established a method for using modulated sound-pulses for changing states of consciousness for optimal "Mind-Body" healing.
Dr. Thompson's first recording, Isle of Skye, was carried by major music distributors in the US within its first month of release. Within the first six months, it was adopted by the American Hypnotherapy Association for its use in hypnosis. In the years since, Dr Thompson has generated more than ninety acoustic pacing compact disks and audiotapes sold globally and used by Holistic physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, chiropractors, massage therapists and other bodywork professionals as well as the general public
His CDs are carried nationally in major stores and catalogs: Barnes & Noble, Borders, Sam Goody's, Waldenbooks, Nightingale-Conant, Nautilus, and many others. His well-received and effective Delta Sleep System CD Set was carried through national TV ads by Time/Life for two years. His work with Brookstone, Inc. and other companies are carried in their respective stores and websites.
Dr. Thompson was a faculty member and continued his scientific clinical research at a graduate school and research center in Encinitas, California, for many years. He taught Behavioral Psycho-acoustics and Clinical Neuroacoustic Therapy courses, recognized by the State of California as part of the core curriculum for the Clinical Psychotherapy and Human Science Masters and PhD programs. He continues to teach at various institutions and through sponsored seminars, workshops, intensives, internships, and certification courses.
Dr. Thompson has worked with Deepak Chopra, has created many self-improvement tapes with Louise Hay, has created sound programs for conferences with Bernie Seigel, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Bru Joy, and Susan Jeffers. He has worked with NASA and JPL with plasma-wave audio recordings secured by the Voyager Space Craft and researched their effects on the subconscious mind for healing and emotional release. His work has been part of research projects at the NeuroPsychiatric Center at UCLA and has been researched at the Royal Ottawa Sleep Research Center in Canada. His work was chosen to be part of the nationally funded CSCAT (Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies) Program at Duke University and the University of Virginia in the 1990s. His audio programs on CDs have been and are used with patients before and after surgery, and in various oncology departments and clinics. His patent-pending Vibro-Acoustic Sound Chair and Sound Table are used in medical and mental health clinics, wellness spas, professional and business offices, personal fitness clubs, and homes. He has played an active role in the Complementary-Alternative Medicine Research and Therapy Association at Scripps Hospital, San Diego, California.
Dr. Thompson has appeared on Fox Evening News Los Angeles, CNN Worldwide Reports, numerous cable access shows, San Diego Channel 10 Evening News, Good Morning America and other media shows, as many as twenty in 2005 alone. He and his work have been featured in many magazines, including the San Diego Magazine, ELLE Magazine, Psychology Today, Body and Soul, HOW, Pen (Japanese), Mein Olein (Finnish), Mind-Body (Korean), and Spa Business Magazine (England). Many newspapers across the country have featured his work, including the Wall Street Journal.
Editor's Note: The accomplishments and creativity of Dr. Thompson is nothing short of being "mind-boggling". He continues to be very prolific in his efforts and dedication to the healing of the Global Body of the Universe through the healing of individuals of which it is comprised.
His goal and the goal of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research state it well –

Posted on August 21, 2012
In our final installment of reflections on the Scholl Center's recent "Out of Many: Religious Pluralism in America" program, Andrew Simon has done a very nice write up of Martin Marty's evening lecture for the National Endowment for the Humanities. Simon picks up on Marty's insistence that America's religious diversity is not just a cosmopolitan or urban phenomenon. As Simon writes,
Marty suggested that disparate religious traditions permeate the cultural geography of America, defining the identity of large and small communities alike. Lest we think we can pinpoint the home of America's religious tradition in one particular locale, perhaps a centuries-old church in a small town in Massachusetts, or we think that the American religious tradition has no meaning whatsoever, in fact it lives in all places of worship, each as critical to the character of religion in America as the next.
The participants of the Out of Many program would later confirm this point in Marty's morning seminar. Each shared their own stories of religious encounters in classroom from locales as diverse as El Paso, Texas to Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
You can listen to, download, and get a transcription of Marty's lecture on the NEH's write up as well.

Louis Picker from the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at Oregon Health & Science University gave an update on results obtained in macaques with a CMV-based vaccine against SIV (abstract, webcast -- fourth in session). As Picker has shown in published work, the vaccine consistently facilitates strict control of a pathogenic SIVmac239 challenge in around 50% of immunized macaques. The remarkable news shared by Picker at CROI is that, over time, these protected animals appear to clear SIV infection. This claim is based on multiple criteria, including loss of detectable virus, waning of CD8 T-cell responses to viral antigens not included in the vaccine, and the failure to transmit infection to uninfected macaques despite transfer of over 50 million blood and/or tissue white blood cells (in contrast, similar transfers from elite controller animals or those on suppressive ART reliably transmitted infection). Picker noted that the CD8 T-cell responses in the vaccine recipients appear to "violate all the rules" in that they target very large numbers of different SIV epitopes and, in many cases, their ability to recognize the virus involves MHC class II molecules, which normally facilitate antigen recognition by CD4 T cells rather than CD8 T cells. Picker is now working to shed further light on these findings, as well as collaborating with the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Florida to try and develop a CMV vaccine vector that can safely be studied in humans.

Still going through Season 1, so please bear with me.
When Nikki looks the video camera which was running when she had killed the thugs in Episode 1, all she sees is static. However, when she spends the night with Nathan, the camera footage is fine. Is the static phenomenon explained later in the series?

Soda Pop Sorcery: Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer
According to the copy on the gaudy label (purple and gold is really only a color combination you can get away with if you're the king of something), Flying Cauldron has been manufacturing this "magical brew" for "under age wizards" since 1374. Call us fun-hating skeptics if you must, but we sort of doubted that this concoction actually dated back to the Black Death and only now managed to find a distributor, so we did a little digging—that is, we looked at a different part of the label—and found out it's actually made by Reed's, the folks who make one of our favorite ginger beers.
The whole thing, from the curiously familiar type style on the label to the Bertie Bott's-esque flavoring to the ad copy's claim that it was originally developed at a "brew pub in Hogsbreath England [sic]" screamed that it's supposed to be some kind of Harry Potter tie-in. Apparently, though, Reed's couldn't get hold of the license, but they went ahead and rolled out the product just the same. So, if you're a child who won't consume anything without the Harry Potter imprimatur, or an adult who's just way too into wizard rock, congratulations: finally, there is a soda for you.
Then again, even non-fans might well be intrigued by Flying Cauldron. Butterscotch boosters are a criminally underserved sector of the American soda consumption market, and it's about time they had an option other than getting sloppo on Buttery Nipples.
If nothing else, Flying Cauldron is a handsome-looking drink, with a full foamy head and a gorgeous gold color. Its scent is more cream soda than butterscotch, but is pretty pleasant just the same. (It's also gluten-free, for those of your worried about getting glutens in your butterscotch soda). Sweetened with both cane sugar and stevia, it clocks in at 120 calories—nearly Coca-Cola levels of sugary kick—so you might want to go easy on handing it out willy-nilly to your "under age wizards", lest they start bouncing off the walls of your castle.
As for the flavor, well...it tastes amazingly like butterscotch. It's lip-smackingly tasty, and despite the double dose of sweetener, it's surprisingly smooth; while it has a distinct aura of liquefied hard candy, it's not wince-inducingly sweet or syrupy. This stuff is probably not going to make it into anyone's regular soda rotation, it's mighty fine as a dessert drink or occasional treat. (The label suggests dunking a scoop of vanilla ice cream into it. We have too much to do to spend an entire afternoon in a sugar coma, but we were sorely tempted.)
We never would have pinned ourselves as butterscotch soda lovers, but Flying Cauldron managed to surprise us, and that's a kind of magic.

Feeling like there are too many pressures and demands on you? Losing sleep worrying about tests and schoolwork? Eating on the run because your schedule is just too busy? You're not alone. Everyone experiences stress at times — adults, teens, and even kids. But there are ways to minimize stress and manage the stress that's unavoidable.
Stress is a feeling that's created when we react to particular events. It's the body's way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness.
The events that provoke stress are called stressors, and they cover a whole range of situations — everything from outright physical danger to making a class presentation or taking a semester's worth of your toughest subject.
The human body responds to stressors by activating the nervous system and specific hormones. The hypothalamus signals the adrenal glands to produce more of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol and release them into the bloodstream. These hormones speed up heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and metabolism. Blood vessels open wider to let more blood flow to large muscle groups, putting our muscles on alert. Pupils dilate to improve vision. The liver releases some of its stored glucose to increase the body's energy. And sweat is produced to cool the body. All of these physical changes prepare a person to react quickly and effectively to handle the pressure of the moment.
This natural reaction is known as the stress response. Working properly, the body's stress response enhances a person's ability to perform well under pressure. But the stress response can also cause problems when it overreacts or fails to turn off and reset itself properly.
The stress response (also called the fight or flight response) is critical during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. It can also be activated in a milder form at a time when the pressure's on but there's no actual danger — like stepping up to take the foul shot that could win the game, getting ready to go to a big dance, or sitting down for a final exam. A little of this stress can help keep you on your toes, ready to rise to a challenge. And the nervous system quickly returns to its normal state, standing by to respond again when needed.
But stress doesn't always happen in response to things that are immediate or that are over quickly. Ongoing or long-term events, like coping with a divorce or moving to a new neighborhood or school, can cause stress, too.
Long-term stressful situations can produce a lasting, low-level stress that's hard on people. The nervous system senses continued pressure and may remain slightly activated and continue to pump out extra stress hormones over an extended period. This can wear out the body's reserves, leave a person feeling depleted or overwhelmed, weaken the body's immune system, and cause other problems.
Although just enough stress can be a good thing, stress overload is a different story — too much stress isn't good for anyone. For example, feeling a little stress about a test that's coming up can motivate you to study hard. But stressing out too much over the test can make it hard to concentrate on the material you need to learn.
Pressures that are too intense or last too long, or troubles that are shouldered alone, can cause people to feel stress overload. Here are some of the things that can overwhelm the body's ability to cope if they continue for a long time:
Some stressful situations can be extreme and may require special attention and care. Posttraumatic stress disorder is a very strong stress reaction that can develop in people who have lived through an extremely traumatic event, such as a serious car accident, a natural disaster like an earthquake, or an assault like rape.
Some people have anxiety problems that can cause them to overreact to stress, making even small difficulties seem like crises. If a person frequently feels tense, upset, worried, or stressed, it may be a sign of anxiety. Anxiety problems usually need attention, and many people turn to professional counselors for help in overcoming them.
People who are experiencing stress overload may notice some of the following signs:
Everyone experiences stress a little differently. Some people become angry and act out their stress or take it out on others. Some people internalize it and develop eating disorders or substance abuse problems. And some people who have a chronic illness may find that the symptoms of their illness flare up under an overload of stress.
What can you do to deal with stress overload or, better yet, to avoid it in the first place? The most helpful method of dealing with stress is learning how to manage the stress that comes along with any new challenge, good or bad. Stress-management skills work best when they're used regularly, not just when the pressure's on. Knowing how to "de-stress" and doing it when things are relatively calm can help you get through challenging circumstances that may arise.
Here are some things that can help keep stress under control:
Take a stand against overscheduling. If you're feeling stretched, consider cutting out an activity or two, opting for just the ones that are most important to you.
Be realistic. Don't try to be perfect — no one is. And expecting others to be perfect can add to your stress level, too (not to mention put a lot of pressure on them!). If you need help on something, like schoolwork, ask for it.
Get a good night's sleep. Getting enough sleep helps keep your body and mind in top shape, making you better equipped to deal with any negative stressors. Because the biological "sleep clock" shifts during adolescence, many teens prefer staying up a little later at night and sleeping a little later in the morning. But if you stay up late and still need to get up early for school, you may not get all the hours of sleep you need.
Treat your body well. Experts agree that getting regular exercise helps people manage stress. (Excessive or compulsive exercise can contribute to stress, though, so as in all things, use moderation.) And eat well to help your body get the right fuel to function at its best. It's easy when you're stressed out to eat on the run or eat junk food or fast food. But under stressful conditions, the body needs its vitamins and minerals more than ever. Some people may turn to substance abuse as a way to ease tension. Although alcohol or drugs may seem to lift the stress temporarily, relying on them to cope with stress actually promotes more stress because it wears down the body's ability to bounce back.
Watch what you're thinking. Your outlook, attitude, and thoughts influence the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? A healthy dose of optimism can help you make the best of stressful circumstances. Even if you're out of practice, or tend to be a bit of a pessimist, everyone can learn to think more optimistically and reap the benefits.
Solve the little problems. Learning to solve everyday problems can give you a sense of control. But avoiding them can leave you feeling like you have little control and that just adds to stress. Develop skills to calmly look at a problem, figure out options, and take some action toward a solution. Feeling capable of solving little problems builds the inner confidence to move on to life's bigger ones — and it and can serve you well in times of stress.
Ever notice that certain people seem to adapt quickly to stressful circumstances and take things in stride? They're cool under pressure and able to handle problems as they come up. Researchers have identified the qualities that make some people seem naturally resilient even when faced with high levels of stress.
If you want to build your resilience, work on developing these attitudes and behaviors:
Learn to think of challenges as opportunities and stressors as temporary problems, not disasters. Practice solving problems and asking others for help and guidance rather than complaining and letting stress build. Make goals and keep track of your progress. Make time for relaxation. Be optimistic. Believe in yourself. Be sure to breathe. And let a little stress motivate you into positive action to reach your goals.

With regard to Robert R. Ferris� Sept. 14 letter to the editor headlined, �Sheriff�s gun-sale plan should be expanded,� I feel it necessary to point out that at no time was disrespect intended by me toward Sheriff Ed Brown or any other law enforcement officer.
To the editor:
With regard to Robert R. Ferris� Sept. 14 letter to the editor headlined, �Sheriff�s gun-sale plan should be expanded,� I feel it necessary to point out that at no time was disrespect intended by me toward Sheriff Ed Brown or any other law enforcement officer.
As a concerned citizen and taxpayer, however, I have a right, just as every other citizen has a right or, more importantly, a duty, to express his or her opinion with regard to the actions or proposed actions of any public official, Sheriff Brown included.
That said, �favoritism� is defined as: �A display of partiality�..toward a favored person or group.�
According to the original article in The Daily News, the following are facts:
n Sheriff Brown declared the weapons to be surplus to the sheriff�s department needs.
n Sheriff Brown wants authorization to dispose of said weapons.
n Sheriff Brown wants to limit the sales of this publicly owned property to active or former law enforcement officers and detention officers.
n Sheriff Brown is quoted as saying that he did not want to discuss the issue because, �How I see it is, it�s like telling someone what they�re going to get for Christmas.� � to me, that implies �perk.�
By proposing a restriction of the sale of publicly owned property to current and former law enforcement personnel and detention officers only, Sheriff Brown�s plan has met the very definition of �favoritism.�
Obviously, some members of the Onslow County Board of Commissioners had reservations about the proposed sale � they postponed a decision on the issue. When a member of a particular group receives special consideration above and beyond what a non-member of the group receives, is that not often considered a perk?
No doubt, the sheriff desires to, in Ferris� words, �lawfully dispose of his department�s surplus handguns and ensure that those handguns do not eventually wind up in the wrong hands.� No sane, law-abiding citizen, including me, wants a criminal to have a weapon. What I disagree with is the sheriff�s proposal to deny all law-abiding citizens, who qualify for a weapons permit, an equal opportunity to bid for said public property. Ferris� proposal would, like that of the sheriff, expand the �favored� group to include concealed carry permit holders, but even that would be unfair.
To be completely fair to all law-abiding Onslow County citizens, every citizen qualified to be issued a weapons permit should be entitled to an equal opportunity to bid for one of the surplus handguns and shotguns.
With no disrespect intended to Sheriff Brown, but Sheriff Brown is an elected official. Onslow County is not, and these are Ferris� words, �his county� or any other elected official�s county. I believe Sheriff Brown would agree that Onslow County belongs to all the citizens of Onslow County, not just him.

Maxwell Klinger
Adopted: November 21, 1998
Died: January 29, 2007
My sweet boy.
He came into my life on November 21, 1998. I walked into the dog section of the Humane Society and locked eyes with a gorgeous German Shepherd. At that moment, I knew that this dog was mine.
Yes, it's a cheesy story, but it's true. I didn't know anything about this dog. Male? Female? Age? Temperament? I didn't know any of these things. I had never owned a German Shepherd before. Heck, I had never been around a German Shepherd. I just knew that this was my dog.
I soon found out that Max was around a year old and had already lived with three families. He had no training and to sum it up: he was a handful.
I took him home and my life changed forever.
At first, all of my time and effort went into trying to control this 90 lb. bundle of energy.
He was housebroken and that's about the only positive thing about those first few weeks.
He had a reaction to his vaccines and developed a huge abscess that required minor surgery and a round of antibiotics.
Max ate people food wherever he could find it: on counters, on the table, out of the refrigerator, etc. He wasn't shy about doing it, either. It was obvious that no one had taught him that this was unacceptable behavior.
He was horribly offended by my houseplants. One day when I was in the shower, he knocked all of them over and dug in the dirt. Of course, I had just watered them. Then, with muddy paws, he ran all over the house.
He didn't like his dog toys. He preferred to chew on shoes, furniture frames, furniture cushions and door frames.
I could barely walk him. In fact, he walked me. Think of those cartoons of a person getting dragged behind a dog. That was me.
He played rough and didn't know that his teeth hurt me.
I took him to obedience school. He was kicked out. Twice.
The highlight of those first weeks was the day he consumed the contents of a tube of Krazy Glue. Somehow, he suffered no ill effects.
The low point of these first weeks with Max was one sunny afternoon that I remember like it was yesterday: I sat on my couch crying because I could not get this dog to behave. He was out of control. I considered taking him back to the Humane Society.
Then, I looked at him, sleeping on the floor, and decided that I would not do that under any circumstances. I had made a commitment to this dog. I was his fourth chance at a family. He deserved a loving home. I would do everything I could to train him and turn him into the dog that I knew he could be.
It was not easy, but in time, I tamed the wild beast. He was never perfectly behaved. In fact, he was the 'problem child' among my eventual three dog family. He was the one that would get away with whatever he could. He was a free spirit.
A year after bringing Max home, I went back to the Humane Society and returned home with Samantha. Their introduction was rough, to say the least.
They fought for the first 24 hours or so. Then, Sam jumped on Max and tore his ear. The walls of my living room looked like a murder had taken place. If you look at the picture above, you can see the notch on his right ear where it was torn.
However, that bloodbath was the start of an amazing relationship between my two Shepherds. They were best buddies. Sam was the dominant dog and Max was (usually) fine with that.
They shared food and water dishes, they slept curled up together and they loved to play together.
In the past few years, Samantha (who's 11) has been sleeping more than she used to. Max never accepted that she would rather sleep than play with him. He would often stand over her as she slept, barking and nudging her with his nose. This would go on for several minutes until Sam would snap at him. Max would get the hint and leave her alone. But not for long. Within a few minutes he would be trying to wake her up again. Sam would snap again and this cycle would continue several times. It would end in one of two ways: sometimes Sam would give in and play with him and sometimes she would go hide in my bedroom.
Max was my first German Shepherd and one hell of an introduction to the breed.
He was so intelligent. And he was maddeningly strong willed.
He was also so sweet and learned to be so gentle. He loved to nap with his head in my lap. Often, I woke up in the morning and he was snuggled right up next to me, snoring away with his head on my pillow.
Max hated car rides. Whenever I picked up my keys, he would make a beeline for the other side of the house.
He hated water, but loved snow more than any other dog I've ever owned.
When Max was diagnosed back in November, I hoped for a snowy winter so that he would be able to enjoy the snow. I knew that this was probably his last winter.
Boy, did that wish come true! This is the snowiest winter since I moved to Colorado ten years ago.
Max loved to roll in the snow and to eat it. His favorite snow activity was to just sit on a snow bank and watch the world go by. He would do this for hours and be perfectly content.
During the worst blizzards, he would ask to go outside and then he would just sit in the storm, getting covered with snow. I would make him come inside after a short time to warm up, but he always asked to go right back out in the storm.
Most dog owners are lucky enough to one day have That Dog.
That Dog that you just connect with in a different way than other dogs. That Dog that just seems to be totally in tune with you. That Dog who spends days in bed with you when you have the flu. That Dog who eases the pain of a broken heart with slurpy kisses. That Dog that you don't love more, just differently.
Max was That Dog.
Max was not the perfect dog. But he was the perfect dog for me.
He only lived 9 years and I only loved him for 8 of those years.
More than anything, I wish I could have had more time with him, but I am so grateful that I had the years that I did.
He made me laugh every single day. He often made me crazy, but I loved every second of it.
Rest in peace, my sweet boy. Thank you for eight wonderful years. I'm going to miss you. Your paw prints will be on my heart forever.

Thank goodness Lenny went with someone else. Can you imagine hearing, "LENN-EEEEEE!!!!!" all your life?
Last night was the CBS/Showtime/The CW all-star party, at a large club in Hollywood. Or at least I was told it was large, because to me it only seemed as big as the inch-and-a-half between my nose and the backs of the next celebrity entourage......Then I had a nice chat (OK, nice yell, it was loud in there) with Bertram Van Munster, executive producer of "The Amazing Race" (for which you may recall, I fake-Emmy-voted a few days ago). Regular Cuppers know that I did the first press visit to the super-secret "Race" HQ in El Segundo for an upcoming syndicated feature story. At that time, his wife and partner, Elise Doganieri, was less than two weeks away from giving birth.Van Munster reveals that he now has a healthy baby daughter. As she was delivered by C-section, Doganieri unfortunately couldn't go on the the world-spanning scouting trip for the next season of the reality-competition show. Sadly, he didn't have a picture of the new addition, but he says she's gorgeous, and Hot Cuppa TV believes him.
Our sympathies to Bertram and his family....

FARMINGTON — A Farmington man recently indicted for crimes including second-degree assault was indicted again this month on charges of witness tampering and burglary.
Donald Nisbet, 27, formerly of 77 Bunker St., Apt. 1, was indicted this month on a charge of witness tampering, a Class B felony, for allegedly contacting his girlfriend when his bail order for another crime specifically prohibited from doing so, according to Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey.
Nisbet's December indictment on a burglary charge, another Class B felony, stems from an incident in October when he was arrested by Farmington police for allegedly invading the home of an 85-year-old woman on Sycamore Boulevard.
Police reported on the night of Oct. 14 an elderly woman reported her front door was "smashed in" by a man who entered her bedroom demanding jewelry and money before allegedly "ripping apart" her jewelry box and throwing drawers toward her. The victim said the man also demanded a key to her lockbox before fleeing the home and throwing over furniture.
A few hours after the incident, police said a nearby resident reported a disturbance and police allegedly found Nisbet attempting to evade police by running through woods in the area of Campbell Commons. Officers said they used a Taser on Nisbet when a scuffle ensued and placed him under arrest.
Court documents for the witness tampering indictment read Nisbet allegedly contacted a woman on Oct. 24 regarding a pending investigation into his crimes and "attempt(ed) to induce her to withhold any testimony, information or thing, by telling (her) not to talk to police." Willey said Nisbet called the woman from a jail and was previously ordered not to talk to her because of a previous domestic incident.
Class B felonies each carry a 3½- to 7-year prison sentence and a $4,000 fine.
Willey said he was unsure how the indictment proceedings played out before a grand jury, as his department also charged Nisbet with robbery for his alleged activity in the Sycamore Boulevard crime. He said he would check with the county attorney to see if Nisbet could incur more charges in the future.
The Strafford County Attorney's office could not be reached immediately for comment on Thursday.
Nisbet has previously been indicted on a charge of second-degree assault, for allegedly attacking a 26-year-old man in Farmington by punching and kicking him several times outside a residence in November 2011. Nisbet was returned to Rockingham County House of Corrections for a "probation violation" around the time of his indictment for that crime, issued in June 2012.
Nisbet was then indicted again in September of this year on one count of burglary for an incident in Farmington on April 23. The Strafford County Attorney's office alleged Nisbet entered a residence on Spring Street with the purpose of committing theft. He was released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail at that time, based on a court ruling.
Nisbet will be arraigned before Strafford County Superior Court on Thursday, Jan. 3, at 9 a.m.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it means a grand jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.

Note: Prices stated are linked to market prices in Japan, some rare pieces are more expensive than regular price.
Transformers Generations Metroplex stands around 24 inches tall in robot mode, snatching the title of "tallest Transformers toy ever produced" from the original Fortress Maximus toy by a two inch margin. His packaging is a wonderful testament to this fact, sporting numerous "Over 2 ft. tall!" call-outs, a measuring scale down its edge, and the statement of "BIGGEST EVER!" in huge letters.
His robot mode is highly articulated, even featuring individually-jointed fingers, as well as articulated pupils that can move from side-to-side when a lever behind his head is moved. He also has a cartoon-accurate visor which flips down when his antennae are twisted forward, and can be flipped back up when the antennae are twisted back, or when one pushes the visor up with their fingers.
He comes with a large, spring-loaded, missile-firing gun that can be held by his hands, or mount onto a 5mm port on his back to serve as a shoulder-mounted weapon. The gun itself is so large that it's sculpted with a bridge and numerous tiny turrets to resemble a starship, and it's barrel tip is cast in orange plastic for safety reasons. He also comes with two smaller cannons which are meant to peg onto the cannons on his shoulders, but can also be hand-held. Metroplex is covered with numerous 5mm peg-holes for weapons mounting, and his weapons also feature 5mm pegs.
When the center portion of his chest is pressed down, his eyes and chest light up, and he plays an alternating series of seven voice clips and five sound effects of him eliminating a Decepticon threat, all from the Fall of Cybertron video game. Batteries are not included.
He can transform into either a multi-wheeled aircraft carrier or a city mode, and both modes are specifically designed and scaled to interact with the Thrilling 30 Legends Class toys. For both modes, Metroplex's head transforms into a turret with 5mm handles, and a ramp extends from the right side of his chest. His aircraft carrier mode is armed with the (now-extended) cannons on his shoulders, has an articulated repair claw arm attached via 5mm post at the end of the runway, and has both a flip-out double-barreled turret and a mini heli-pad on the left shoulder. Meanwhile, his city mode has numerous roadways, ramps, and compartments, is armed with a flip-out turret on his right forearm, and the left side of his chest opens up, revealing hidden sculpted weaponry at the bottom half, as well as a larger heli-pad and two flip-out pillars of unknown purpose at the top half.
To complete his deco, Metroplex comes with a sticker sheet composed of over 100 stickers depicting, among other things, computer terminals, readouts, and interfaces, hazard-striped caution signs (for his moving parts), and stickers for the windows on his chest, which depict Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Arcee. Many of these stickers contain Cybertronian text, such as signs that indicate rooms as being used to store ammo and energon cells, an Autobot symbol with Soundwave's name graffitied over, a schematic of Scamper labeled as "Slammer", and even a sign that says "INTERLOCK, DYNOTHERMS, MEGA THRUSTERS" in an apparent reference to Voltron. Unfortunately, the sticker sheet swaps the numbers of stickers 31 and 77, while the sticker instructions list sticker 13 twice, with "13" being located on both a runway panel (which is correct) and on the repair claw (which isn't).
He comes with Legends Class Scamper. In order for this version of Metroplex to fit in his packaging, he is packaged with his right arm detached. Some assembly required. The version released in various multilingual packaging variants (notably in Canada and the UK) has a different soundbox, omitting all of Metroplex's voice clips. Oddly, the front and back of the packaging is lacking the Generations moniker, instead being simply branded Transformers. The top and bottom of the packaging do sport the Generations logo, however, as do the instructions.
The TakaraTomy version, part of the ninth wave of Japanese Generations toys, has two guns and missiles. Among other deco changes, he also replaces much of his black plastic (such as his runways and city compartments) with white, features a vacuum-metallized face, replaces the "safety orange" on his guns with black, and features a slightly different shade of red. He gains numerous additional paint operations, mostly for his guns and robot mode, which are either meant to replace stickers on the Hasbro version, or are meant to mirror details on the original G1 toy. As a result, he has fewer stickers overall, although they are metallic, and he does have some additional sticker details not on the Hasbro version. The instructions are also more thorough and complete, telling one about the features of the toy, and how to attach the two guns and shoulder cannons for all three modes. His soundbox is the unchanged English version with the voice clips, and he comes with his arm assembled in the (much larger) box. The package art has also been modified, altering Metroplex's deco, and removing the various Autobots moving around on his person. If purchased in Asian countries outside Japan, this version also included an exclusive Metroplex-themed cord/cable holder.

Like all collectibles, the sports memorabilia market has its own terms and slang. The following is a brief definition and explanation of the most frequently used sports collecting terms.
Note:This is a work in progress and we would love to hear your comments and suggestions. Send your thoughts to [email protected].
|unauthorized issue
|An issue or set of cards that does not have the consent of the given league or player's association. The cards are both illegal and of little value.
|uncut sheet
|A sheet of cards that has not been cut by the factory into individual cards. Most uncut sheets contain 132 cards
|Universal Rarity Scale
|A collectibles rarity information scale developed in 1998 by 21 major collectibles experts in order to both define rarity within their individual markets and allow collectors and dealers from different collectibles markets to more easily communicate with one another. The Universal Rarity Scale is a 10-point scale. The least rare collectible items are those where more than 10,000 examples are estimated to exist. These items are designated "URI" and are described as "readily available." The rarest items are those where only one example is known to exist. These rarities are designated "UR10" and are described as "unique."
|A program that has not been filled in by a sports fan.
|update set
|See Also - traded set
|Upper Deck
|A major sports card manufacturer that started in 1989 with a premium issue. The 1989 Upper Deck set is very well known for its inclusion of the extremely popular Ken Griffey rookie card. The company produces sets for all sports, as well as other lines of cards such as SP, SPX, SP Authentic, UD3, and Collector's Choice.
