Prosecutors Drop Charge Against Stapp
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Prosecutors have dropped a domestic battery charge against Scott Stapp after the rocker completed terms of an agreement including a requirement that he participate in anger management counseling. The former frontman for Creed was arrested in May after his wife, Jaclyn Nesheiwat, called police to their Boca Raton home. She accused Stapp of taking drugs and throwing a bottle at her, according to a tape of her 911 call. Stapp was originally charged with aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, but the charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor. He participated in a 12-hour anger management program, underwent substance abuse evaluation and agreed not to possess any weapons. The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office said the misdemeanor charge was officially dropped Monday.

Children learn to experience relaxation through yoga
At JW Tumbles in Ghent, where instructor Rita Woods teaches one of her series of Young Yogis Yoga classes, eight bubbly girls, in grades 3 to 5, arrange a rainbow of mats in a circle, like a flower. Woods gets the classes started by coaxing them into a cross-legged lotus position, backs straight, palms resting on their knees facing upward or pressed together at their hearts. "Think about what's right for your body, what feels right in your own skin," she tells her yogis. "Maybe you're feeling strong - or feeling not so strong. Accept how you feel today." She circles the room, pausing at each girl to rub Roxy, the speckled stuffed dog, up their spines to coax them to sit straighter. She presses their shoulders back and down, to release tension. She places a seashell on each girl's ear, telling them to imitate the sound of the ocean in their breathing.
