Recent nursing graduates may find job hunting more difficult as veteran nurses return to work because of recession-related financial stresses, an industry expert said.

Clair Jordan, executive director of the Texas Nurses Association, said most nurses who return to the workforce after retirement do so to compensate for the income of spouses who have lost their jobs or to provide a second income to their households. As a result, new graduates may not be able to get their first choice in terms of shifts or areas of work.

Some professional athletes just can't get a clue. The law and their respective league officials have told them what not to do, yet they're either too dumbfounded or naive and do it anyway. I'm talking about professional athletes who tarnish the image of themselves and their leagues with headlines of drug possession, reckless driving, illegal firearms, assault and a plethora of other broken laws.

I don't know what compels athletes who are making more than six figures to act so irresponsibly. They risk their money, anger their fans and ruin their image.

As we approach both the Lenten and beach seasons, we forget all about our New Year's resolutions and start worrying about spring break plans.

Parenting is an enduring paradox of humankind. It's considered negative if a parent lives vicariously through his or her child, but an uninvolved parent is also frowned upon.

Ideal parenting in the U.S. features a middle ground between two styles: crazed controlling and easy-going empowering. Crazed controlling parents often pressure their children to the point of social awkwardness and an inability to fail. Easy-going empowering parents encourage their children to a fault, which leads to overt self-centeredness.

In 2005, Jyllands-Posten, a Danish newspaper, made the Prophet Muhammad, founder of Islam, the subject of an assignment for 12 editorial cartoonists. The result was a variety of images, some of which included violent motifs, including one in which Muhammad's turban is represented as a ticking bomb, lit fuse and all. The result was immediate outcry and oppositional organization by much of the European Muslim population.
