The 12-year-old student who opened fire on a Nevada middle school campus, wounding two classmates and killing a teacher before he turned the gun on himself, got the weapon from his home, authorities said Tuesday.
Washoe County School District police said they are still working to determine how the boy obtained the 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun used in the Monday morning spree at Sparks Middle School. The boy’s parents are cooperating with authorities and could face charges in the case, police said.
Authorities say they’re withholding the seventh-grader’s name out of respect for his family.
At a news conference Tuesday, law enforcement and school officials again lauded the actions of 45-year-old math teacher and former Marine Michael Landsberry, who tried to stop the rampage before he was killed.
“I cannot express enough appreciation for Mr. Landsberry,” Washoe County School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez said. “He truly is a hero.”

After nearly two years of hardship and four days under the national spotlight, Daisy Coleman finally received some good news.
“I was more than excited. I felt like I was going to be able to work with someone who would put forth a real effort,” Coleman told reporters on Wednesday after the Nodaway County, Mo., prosecuting attorney announced that he would seek a special prosecutor to review the dropped charges against a former high school football player accused of sexually assaulting her in 2012.
Daisy’s case received widespread attention following a poignant feature published in the Kansas City Star. “Nightmare In Maryville” describes the struggles endured by Coleman, questions how officials handled the investigation and highlights one of the suspects’ political connections.
“Just to have people listen and look at it with an objective eye is huge for us because we haven’t had that until this point,” said Melinda Coleman, Daisy’s mother, according to KSHB.

Normally, people isolate themselves from the rest of the world when they put earbuds on and listen to music. But a new pair of headphones just made the experience a lot more social.
Jason Hardi, chief executive of headphone maker Muzik, talked with HuffPost Live’s Mike Sacks about his company’s latest pair of headphones, which let you share songs you’re listening to by tapping on its side.
“They’re the only headphones in the world that let you literally share the song as you’re listening to it with Facebook, with Twitter, to your followers or save it to a playlist just by holding the hot keys,” Hardi said.
His hope is that the headphones will reinvigorate the practice of sharing great music with friends and family.

Why do we do the things we do? Despite our best attempts to “know thyself,” the truth is that we often know astonishingly little about our own minds, and even less about the way others think. As Charles Dickens once put it, “A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.”
Psychologists have long sought insights into how we perceive the world and what motivates our behavior, and they’ve made enormous strides in lifting that veil of mystery. Aside from providing fodder for stimulating cocktail-party conversations, some of the most famous psychological experiments of the past century reveal universal and often surprising truths about human nature.

Resveratrol, a compound found in red wine and red grape skins, could make radiation treatment for cancer more effective, a new study suggests.
Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine found that treating melanoma cells with resveratrol in a lab setting made them more susceptible to radiation.
“We’ve seen glimmers of possibilities, and it seems that resveratrol could potentially be very important in treating a variety of cancers,” study researcher Michael Nicholl, M.D., an assistant professor of surgery at the university, said in a statement. “It comes down to how to administer the resveratrol. If we can develop a successful way to deliver the compound to tumor sites, resveratrol could potentially be used to treat many types of cancers. Melanoma is very tricky due to the nature of how the cancer cells travel throughout the body, but we envision resveratrol could be combined with radiation to treat symptomatic metastatic tumors, which can develop in the brain or bone.”

Ah, the weekend. Many of us who work long hours during the week may see the weekend as an opportunity to “catch up” on some rest by sleeping in. But is it really possible to recover from sleep loss by finding time later to snooze, and does it do the mind and body any good?
For starters, a study published in the current issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism suggests that using your weekend to sleep in actually doesn’t fix all the damage caused by missing out on some slumber during the week.
“The major take away message is that extended sleep helps, but only to some extent,” study co-author Dr. Alexandros Vgontzas, professor at Penn State University’s Hershey Sleep Research & Treatment Center, told The Huffington Post in an email. “The repeated cycle of restriction/recovery may be harmful to your health in the long run.

We’re now almost two weeks into the government shutdown, and there’s been no shortage of outrage over the fact that Congress remains unable to figure out how to end it. Recent polling has shown record levels of support for replacing every member of Congress, and lawmakers are now less popular than witches and dog poop.
This level of unpopularity may not come as a surprise to anyone who’s followed the actions of Congress. The shutdown, brought on late last month by House Republicans who insisted that any measure to fund the government must also delay or dismantle Obamacare, has taken a nationwide toll on federal workers and programs. With around 800,000 federal employees furloughed without pay and programs for veterans, women and children increasingly becoming hobbled by the congressional impasse, lawmakers have been more successful at upsetting the people they serve than at ending the shutdown.

It’s called “the most horrible drug in the world” — and it’s come to Illinois.
Dr. Abhin Singala, a specialist at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in the Chicago suburb of Joliet, said he’s treating three people who took “krokodil,” a cheap heroin knockoff from Russia known to cause such extreme gangrene and abscesses that a user’s muscles, tendons and bones can become exposed.
“If you want to kill yourself, this is the way to do it,” Singla said according to the Sun-Times.
According to Joliet Patch, Singla is treating what appear to be the first cases of krokodil reported in the Chicago metro area.
“As of late as last week, the first cases – a few people in Utah and Arizona – were reported to have been using the heroin-like drug, which rots the skin from the inside out,” Singala said in a Tuesday press release. “It is a horrific way to get sick. The smell of rotten flesh permeates the room. Intensive treatment and skin grafts are required, but they often are not enough to save limbs or lives.”

As the government shutdown reaches its ninth day, Americans have been left with news of one meeting after another as it seems the budget deadlock will never end.
Although last week’s reports of no end in sight were dismal, this week a bipartisan meeting between House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi may shine a glimmer of hope towards a resolution.
This news is hopefully a step in the right direction after a series of failed attempts at negotiation between Boehner and President Obama. But who is being more unreasonable out of the two?
Cartoonist Kevin Eason thinks that title belongs to Boehner as the house speaker has repeatedly displayed resistance toward meeting any kind of agreement. And the American people agree. Although most of the country is unhappy with lawmakers in both parties, Republicans have borne the brunt of the blame for the government shutdown, according to a recent poll.

Tom Clancy, a celebrated author of crime fiction and military thrillers, died on Tuesday in a hospital in Baltimore. He was 66.
Ivan Held, the president of Putnam Books, Clancy’s publisher, confirmed his death to the New York Times, adding that Clancy “was a thrill to work with.” He did not provide a cause of death.
Clancy was born in Baltimore, Md., on April 12, 1947. He was the author of the popular Jack Ryan series, among many others. His novels have repeatedly hit #1 on The New York Times bestseller list, and four of his books were adapted for film, including his first, “The Hunt for Red October.” His latest book, “Command Authority,” is slated for publication this December.
Although most of his writing involved fictionalized accounts of the aftermath of the Cold War, Clancy also penned a slew of nonfiction titles, including “Guided Tours” inside nuclear warships and Air Force combat wings.
