Frontex director says EU could take part in border security in Arab countries
EU border security agency to operate in home countries of immigrants
Ilkka Laitinen

Frontex, the European Union's border security agency, plans to start monitoring flows of immigrants in areas where they embark toward Europe.
A decision which was passed by the European Parliament earlier this year, authorising Frontex to operate outside the EU itself, came into effect on Tuesday. Frontex is now authorised to send experts to help the new administrations that have taken over in a number of Arab countries.
"We could create a completely new border security system for Libya, for instance, said
Ilkka Laitinen
, the Finnish Executive Director of Frontex in Helsinki on Tuesday.
Frontex can offer training
, and it can lend equipment, but it cannot set up its own border security forces. It also cannot establish its own direct relations with third countries: any such contacts need to take place within the framework of the EU's external relations policy.
Frontex has access to a pool of about 1,000 specialists in border security which were appointed by the member states.
Finland has an important role in Frontex activities.
The expanded role of Frontex
is a key strategic change in the operations of the agency, which was founded in 2004. The change has come under much criticism.
In November, the International Red Cross issued a statement sharply criticising Frontex for its expanded operations. The Red Cross said that the further out to sea border officials supported by Frontex go to stop possible flows of immigrants, the harder it will be for refugees and asylum seekers to reach EU borders and apply for asylum.
Extending operations
to countries outside the EU is just one of the new missions of Frontex. Under a measure approved by the EU, Frontex is now allowed to collect personal information for profiling and risk analysis.
However, Frontex is still barred from compiling any registers of people. It is only allowed to provide information to the border officials of member states, as well as agencies such as Europol information that it gets in connection with the work that it does on the borders.
Profiling does not extend to asylum-seekers – only to suspected criminals.
The new measures also allow
Frontex to acquire equipment for use in joint border security missions.
The agency also has a new fundamental rights strategy. The aim is to develop practices related to border security in order to improve treatment of people arriving at borders. The European Parliament has called for the establishment of a fundamental rights ombudsman and a steering group to advise the agency in matters of human rights.

|World Cup 2010: African culture the winner
By Jabulani Sithole
As the curtain came down on the great show of the century, the FIFA 2010 World Cup final held for the first time on the African soil in South Africa, it was time for the winners Spain to celebrate in style, however, the greatest winner was "African culture."
Going by the closing ceremony of the tournament, it demonstrated the richness of African culture through performances of music and dance supported by a brilliant "feast of lighting technology" supported by 18 projectors to depict life in Africa and African wildlife showing a herd of 32 elephants.
With the team celebrating and packing its bags to leave the continent after a successful mission, just as the many losers, some who have long forgotten that they ever played in the tournament, they all take with them the greatest gift of Africa, its culture encapsulated in ubuntu.
Ubuntu is the fibre that binds Africans together. It is a concept of individual significance being achieved through the community.
The month-long sporting event provided the world with an opportunity to experience Africa, its people, their hospitality and humanity.
According to South African President Jacob Zuma "The tournament exceeded our expectations more so the role played by our people... South Africans put the country first to embrace the visitors and one another, opening up to Africa and the rest of the world," a true reflection of the concept of ubuntu.
Ubuntu also functions as a unifying factor, bringing people together regardless of their background or access to wealth.
Africans showcased a great culture of service and friendliness in hosting over a million visitors that visited South Africa, the southern Africa region and the rest of Africa as part of the great soccer festival.
Cultural activities can play a key role in a transformation process to a shared public space. The World Cup has proved that indeed sport is an effective means of integrating. When people take part in sport they are equal and so culturally, ethnic and racial differences disappear.
As for South Africa, a country that has fourteen official languages, during the last month a single language was coined that of football, epitomized by the blowing of the noisy vuvuzela - plastic horn which was blown by everyone, black, white, woman or men, young or old, both national and foreign, to urge their teams to victory.
With much trepidation for its noise and the suspected health hazards, the world could not help but to fall in love with the vuvuzela. China is now manufacturing the plastic horn with high hopes that this cultural artefact will be premiered in the coming Olympics and soon become a feature at Wimbledon.
Another, indelible mark posted by the African culture in the world scene through the World Cup is the Africana cultural symbols through the architectural designs of football stadia such as Soccer City stadium that resembles the African calabash.
Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit near the Kruger game park in eastern South Africa is an architectural fascination depicting the life in the Kruger National Park with 18 roof supports that resemble giraffes and the seats are patterned with zebra stripes.
When the world and media cameras converged in South Africa more than a month ago, focus went beyond the country to zoom on the southern Africa region and the entire continent. In that situation the continent indeed did not disappoint, it projected its best image ever.
The tournament gave a positive picture of a continent known for extending its begging hands, with its people suffering from both natural and man-made disasters such as successive droughts, pandemics such as HIV and AIDS, bad governance, corruption, dictatorships and many other disasters.
The world saw a picture of a peaceful, hunger free continent that has set its eyes and energies to its development, for both the people and their environment the infrastructure.
The sophisticated roads, rail and air transport networks in South Africa showcased nothing but a bold statement that Africa is a continent with a potential and that if given a chance can solve it internal challenges and stand to be counted.
While, South Africans celebrate the successful hosting of the World Cup some cannot hold back their excitement on the infrastructure the tournament leaves for the country.
Puleni Msimanga from Soweto said, "The World Cup should have a permanently home in Africa so that development of more and better roads, housing and other social amenities can meet us fast."
To the game of soccer, the African World Cup scored an important mark for the administrators of the game to revisit some of the rules of the game and possible consider adopting technology to enhance fairness in the game.

So, in President Obama's interview with Bill O'Reilly Obama mostly bobbed and weaved and evaded answering questions in any meaningful manner. But he also doubled down on his lie on Benghazi, the one that had surfaced with some fanfare in the second debate with Romney.
To O'Reilly:
"When someone is attacking our compound, that is an act of terror and that's how I characterized it the next day," Obama said during the live sit-down broadcast from the White House during Fox's Super Bowl pre-game show.
Obama knows that he will never be fact-checked on this in a way that will matter (bloggers and the right will do it, but the MSM will back him up), and that most people (including those in the MSM) will just allow it to pass into the realm of "things generally thought true." Wasn't that settled during the debate, when "moderator" Candy Crowley (who showed a distinct lack of moderation) leapt in to assert that yes, indeed, Obama had called Bengahzi an act of terror the day after it occurred, in his Rose Garden speech?
Anyone who wants a thorough analysis of exactly what Obama said and why it's the case that he most definitely did not call the attack an act of terror—and just how strange Crowley's actions in that debate were—please read this, this, and this.
But the larger issue is that we've all grown very used to Obama's lies. Does anyone, including his most avid supporters, expect him to tell the truth anymore? But not all lies are created equal, and most politicians tell lies about something or other, some minor and some major. So what seems different about Obama, besides the volume and variety of his lies?
It's one thing to lie about something hidden or secret, something that's hard to ascertain. Is Obama lying, for instance, about how well he knew Bill Ayers back in his Chicago days? Almost certainly, but we don't know, and we're almost certainly never going to really know the full extent of their relationship. Is he lying about whether he actually believed that Americans would be able to keep their doctors under Obamacare? A bit easier to ascertain, but not so very easy because we have to assume he had enough knowledge of what was in the bill and how the regulations were going to operate in order to assume he deliberately lied (which he almost certainly did). Did he know about the IRS targeting of the Tea Party? Again, we have to assume that people told him, or that he directed it himself, and that he's covering up that knowledge. But there's no smoking gun to implicate him in the IRS offenses (the situation there resembles the speculation about whether Chris Christie knew about the much less important—but still troubling—Bridegate).
But the lie about whether Obama called Benghazi a terrorist act in his Rose Garden speech is of a different order, IMHO. It's about a matter of easily-obtained public record: his words in a particular speech. And it becomes virtually certain (as I asserted in the posts of mine that I linked to above, where I analyzed the text of the speech very closely), if you look at the words of that speech, that he did not say that. In fact, he pointedly avoided saying it when he had many opportunities to do so.
I can't recall any previous president, even when lying or shading the truth, saying that he had said something in a public speech when he had not (if you can think of such an incident, let me know). This is what is called a bold-faced lie, an egregious lie—and a lie that depends for its success on the collusion of the press.
And that's what Obama knows he will get. It's vitally important. He got that collusion on the first—and most important—time he asserted this particular lie, in that second debate with Romney. I even think there's at least a 50% chance that the whole thing was arranged ahead of time with Crowley, and you may agree if you actually study the video of the debate.
This is what gives Obama the confidence—the sheer chutzpah—to do this sort of thing without blinking. Because it works for him, and he knows it.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Carolina Panthers signed free agent wide receiver Jason Avant to a one-year contract on Monday.
The Panthers did not release financial terms.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Avant spent his first eight seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Last season he started a career-high 13 games and had 38 receptions for 447 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers were down from his previous three seasons in which Avant averaged 52 receptions and 633 yards receiving per year.
"We are happy to have Jason with the Panthers," Carolina coach Ron Rivera said in a press release. "He provides a versatile player at receiver and brings good size as well as experience to the position."
Avant becomes the third free agent wide receiver to sign with the Panthers this off-season.
Carolina previously signed Jerricho Cotchery from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tiquan Underwood from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to help fill major voids at the position.
After a 12-4 season in which they won the NFC South championship, the Panthers released their all-time leading receiver Steve Smith and lost Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn Jr. and Domenik Hixon to other teams via free agency.
That left Panthers quarters Cam Newton without any wide receivers on the roster that he completed passed to last season.
A fourth-round pick in 2006, Avant has played in 116 during his career with 297 catches for 3,646 yards and 12 TDs.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

They were far from their best in any area on the pitch on Boxing Day, but Manchester United were relentless in the second half of their match against Newcastle and managed to squeak out a 4-3 victory. The result was in doubt until the very end and United didn't take their first lead until the 90th minute, but their win was well-deserved.
Manchester United got off to a horrendous start, with Michael Carrick and David De Gea stringing together a couple of errors to gift Newcastle a goal. Carrick's giveaway led to a shot by Demba Ba, which De Gea spilled into the path of Perch for an easy finish. The next two goals were both scored by Jonny Evans, though they came on different goals.
The first was on the correct goal, scored following a free kick. Tim Krul, who had an excellent day despite letting in four goals, saved Javier Hernandez's initial attempt in the 25th minute, but Evans stretched to beat the Newcastle defense to the rebound. Three minutes later, he poked in an own goal, but Papiss Cisse was flagged for offside. After a discussion with his assistants, Mike Dean determined that Cisse did not interfere with play and gave the goal.
That call had Alex Ferguson absolutely livid, and perhaps for good reason, but the United boss was lucky to not get sent off. After the teams came out of the tunnel to start the second half, Ferguson went onto the pitch and berated Dean for an extended period of time, then took to berating both the fourth official and the linesman. Incredibly, Dean didn't send him to the stands.
Patrice Evra got United back into the game with a brilliant goal following a set piece, struck from 20 yards out in the 58th minute. A United winner seemed inevitable at that point, but Newcastle struck back with a fantastic attack on a throw-in. Ten minutes after Evra's goal, substitute Gabriel Obertan got free down the left flank and slid the ball into the box for Papiss Cisse, who applied a brilliant finish to put Newcastle back in front.
Things got crazy from then on, and it was remarkable that the game finished with only seven goals. Robin van Persie's equalizer in the 71st minute was the first of many chances for both sides over the next 10 minutes, though both teams struggled with their finishing. While United looked to be in control, they looked shaky dealing with Newcastle counters, and were a bit lucky not to concede again.
Javier Hernandez's winner came in the 90th minute, assisted by Michael Carrick with a spectacular ball. He chipped a diagonal over the top of the Magpies defense into the box, and Hernandez stayed level with the defense to avoid an offside call before poking a first-time shot past Krul to steal three points for United.
Newcastle were enraged when Vurnon Anita was cleaned out by Antonio Valenica in stoppage time, and the Red Devils midfielder somehow avoided a card. It was a borderline straight red tackle, and Valencia should have seen yellow at the very least. Looking motivated by the challenge and poor decision by Dean, Newcastle pushed hard for an equalizer, but couldn't find it.

Christine O'Donnell's spooky new "TaxMan" ad
By Robert Farley, Louis Jacobson
Published on Wednesday, October 13th, 2010 at 5:29 p.m.
Ever since she won the primary on Sept. 14, 2010, Christine O'Donnell, the Republican nominee for a Senate seat from Delaware, has been the center of media attention. An ad released on Oct. 11, paid for and authorized by the Friends of Christine O'Donnell, seeks to turn the focus on her opponent, Democrat Chris Coons.
In a minute-long ad, featuring dark, horror-movie visuals and spooky music, O'Donnell portrays Coons -- the county executive of Delaware's populous New Castle County -- as a roving psychopath that she dubs "The Taxman." Coons, the narrator intones, "is taxing everything out here."
The ad makes several charges about Coons raising specific taxes. We took up two of its claims
One is that Coons "thought that a 911 call should be taxed." We found that he did propose an expansion of a tax to cell phones to fund 911 service. But we concluded that ad twisted the details, ignoring the fact that landline phones were already were being taxed and that Coons proposed a line-item tax on cell phone bills, rather than a tax for every 911 call made, as the ad suggests. We rated the claim Barely True.
We checked another claim that Coons raised taxes almost 50 percent and found that the increase was accurate, but the claim that it was the work of "one man" was not. So we rated it Mostly True.

A region of the canine brain which is associated with positive expectations such as social rewards responds more strongly to the smell of a human with whom they were familiar than to the smell of humans they didn't know or to either familiar or unfamiliar dogs. The results were obtained in a study led by researchers in Emory University and Comprehensive Pet Therapy in the USA and published in the journal Behavioural Processes.
You might think a wagging tail is a wagging tail, but for dogs there is more to it than that. Dogs recognize and respond differently when their fellow canines wag to the right than they do when they wag to the left. The findings reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on October 31 show that dogs, like humans, have asymmetrically organized brains, with the left and right sides playing different roles.
New research from North Carolina State University and the University of Colorado shows that households with dogs are home to more types of bacteria – including bacteria that are rarely found in households that do not have dogs. The finding is part of a larger study to improve our understanding of the microscopic life forms that live in our homes.
Dogs and wolves are closely related, but their differences define them. Unlike its wild relations, a dog can read a person's face and tone of voice, and it is curious, social, and unafraid around humans. New genetic research highlights the importance of another crucial but subtler distinction between the two species: while wolves are exclusively carnivores, dogs can digest starches. This evolutionary change may be one of the critical steps that brought dogs out of the wilderness and into our homes.
Dogs and wolves are genetically so similar, it's been difficult for biologists to understand why wolves remain fiercely wild, while dogs can gladly become "man's best friend." Now, doctoral research by evolutionary biologist Kathryn Lord at the University of Massachusetts Amherst suggests the different behaviors are related to the animals' earliest sensory experiences and the critical period of socialization. Details appear in the current issue of Ethology.
Anyone who has had a pet instinctively knows what several physical and mental health studies have shown: people who have a companion animal have lower levels of stress, anxiety and depression than the general population. But with love comes the possibility of loss; when pets fall ill, are hurt or die, their owners bear the psychological burden of increased risk of depression and other ailments.

SUGAR LAND, Texas (AP) - Roger Clemens back on the mound at age 50, striking out hitters again.
He pitched three and a-third scoreless innings Saturday night for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League.
He faced Bridgeport and fanned the first batter he faced, former major leaguer Joey Gathright. He struck out two, allowing one hit, no walks in his 37 pitches.
Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, who last pitched for the New York Yankees in 2007, worked a 1-2-3 first inning with two strikeouts.
His fastball was clocked at 88 mph.
The Rocket hasn't committed to playing more than one game for the Skeeters, but some believe this is the first step in an attempted return to the majors.
The Houston Astros, with nothing to lose but the worst record in the majors, sent a scout to the game.
If Clemens appears in a major league game, it will push back his appearance on the Hall of Fame ballot from the one going out late this year until 2017.

Bryna Weiss Will Join Cast of Dancing On Nails for Final Off-Broadway Performances
By Andrew Gans
Bryna Weiss will join the cast of Paul Manuel Kane's Dancing On Nails, which officially opened July 24 following previews that began July 10, for its final performances at Off-Broadway's Theatre 80 July 31.
Weiss is replacing Lauren Klein in the role of Luba Fogel; Klein had a prearranged departure after the July 24 opening to star as Linda Loman in the Denver Center Theatre Company production of Death of a Salesman, which is set to open next month.
Weiss' film and TV credits include "House," "Gilmore Girls," "Nip/Tuck," "Desperate Housewives," "Reno 911!," "Alibi," "Quality of Life" and "Slums of Beverly Hills," among others. She has been seen on stage in The Rose Tattoo; Love, Dreams and Lost Uncles; Master of the House; and Lily.
Directed by Allen Lewis Rickman, the production was originally scheduled to conclude Aug. 29. The cast also features Peter Van Wagner (Isaac Ginsburg on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire"), Lori Wilner, Michael Lewis and Jazmyn Richardson.
"He's Jewish and she's Black," press notes state. "He's 50 and she's 20. And it's 1953. The new comedy Dancing On Nails explores the challenging relationship between a lonely middle-aged shopkeeper and his young African-American employee in 1950s Greenwich Village."
Playwright Paul Manuel Kane has authored the plays Florabel (Playbox Theatre), New York Stories (Roy Arias Theater) and Red Wing Cara Cara (Altered Stages).
The production has scenic design by Vicki R. Davis, costume design by Gail Cooper-Hecht and lighting design by Michael Gottlieb.
Remaining performances are July 31 at 3 PM and 7 PM.
Theatre 80 is located at 80 St. Marks Place (just west of First Ave.). Tickets are $55 and are available through DancingOnNails.com.

Filepix showing Maznah being remanded at the Segamat magistrate's court
PETALING JAYA: A lawyer of dog trainer Maznah Mohd Yusof has criticised a deputy minister for saying that she is "morally defective" and "requires rehabilitation."
Latheefa Koya said the statement by Communications and Multimedia Deputy Minister Jailani Johari was prejudicial to Maznah's legal rights as a person under investigation.
Jailani was quoted as saying that Maznah required rehabilitation by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) for "morally defective" behaviour.
Maznah, also known as Chetz, had been at the centre of a social media storm after a video of her celebrating Hari Raya with her dogs, which was made three years ago, was uploaded to YouTube last week.
She was arrested on Wednesday and brought to Segamat before being released on a court bond on Friday.
Latheefa said Jailani's statement was "mischievous, baseless and prejudicial to Chetz Yusof's legal rights."
"We are shocked that the Ministry has made a public attack upon the conduct and morals of a private individual," she said in a statement with another lawyer N.Surendran.
"This spirit of intolerance and bigotry is unacceptable and un-Malaysian," they said.
They demanded that Jailani immediately withdraw his remarks against Chetz.

It's time for the Panthers Power Play of the Week. If I had said this week featured an exquisite stiff arm to an opponents grill I'm sure your first thought would have RB Jonathan Stewart, right? Well you would be wrong for a change as this week the rejuvenated Steve Smith showed just how much spunk the WR still has.
You can watch the video here. (NFL.com doesn't allow embed). It's a couple down the list.
Let me set it up for you:
From the shotgun with Stewart to his right, Newton runs a play action fake to Stewart over the left side, then turns right and flips the ball to a sprinting Smith on a left side end around. Stewart continues to put a nice block on CB Cedric Griffin who strings the play out to the side line. As Smith tries to get the edge around Griffin he lays a stout stiff arm to Griffins grill that in turn caused Griffin to get a face mask call on top of the 11 yard gain. Face to palm plus 15...Yeah baby! Now that is Panther football.
I wonder if Jonathan Stewart is teaching stiff arm classes in the Panthers locker room?
There you have it...the Panthers Power Play of the Week: A Stiff Arm Extraordinaire by Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith

I have sprained my arm, though not broken it, while patting myself on the back for last week's boffo, if less than totally perfect predictions.
After a perfect Week I, only Nebraska's Cornhuskers, who fell to rising UCLA in the Rose Bowl. let me down last weekend. UK proved my faith was well placed after a tossed quarter came up heads. Mississippi State cowbelled Auburn, which is now 0-2. South Florida upheld the honor of the Big East in Reno. And U of L held serve against Mizzou State.
9-1 on the season is not bad, if I say so myself.
On to Week III. Let's see what will happen as the season starts to get some rhythm to it.
Florida @ Tennessee. If Derek Dooley, still a game under .500 in Knoxville, manages to beat the Gators Saturday — something the Orange hasn't done in a long while — you may actually be able to find a DD bobblehead at the Orange Country Tchochke Shoppe. The Vols have shown some swagger after its 2 TD neutral field W over NC State and a workmanlike thumping of Georgia State. Will Muschamp's pigskinners have also started 2-0, the latest W a zesty nudge over league neophyte Texas A & M's 12 man team. Yet Musch still has a long way to go for fans to admire him as fondly as Ye Ol' Ball Coach, now at South Carolina, and Pope Urban, now at Script Ohio. It's gonna get worse before it maybe gets better in Gainesville. Muschamp should be grabbing for a sound-muffling head set to mask the strains of "Rocky Top" being played over and over and over and over and over and over and over . . . again.
Notre Dame @ Michigan State. It's a way old saw by now, but I still, for the life of me, in this what have you done for me in the last nanosecond techno era, don't understand how and why the Not So Fighting Irish remain eminent in the world of college pigskin? 'Splain that one to me, Lucy? The Golden Domers survived Dublin dining, and ducked a haymaker by the Boilermakers last weekend. Now, a real test for Coach Irascible in East Lansing. Sparty seems to be surprising folks every season now. But it shouldn't surprise when the guys at home in green beat the visitors, who, I think, will be wearing some really ugly space age unis. (Actually that's not true. They're saving those uglies for the battle against hapless Miami.)
Southern Cal @ Stanford. With Oregon's Quack and USC's Trojans among the nation's elite, the PAC 12 is claiming and flaunting its resurgency. The Cardinal are hanging on in the Top 25 despite a wobbly opening game W over San Jose State. Bashing Duke last weekend signifies nothing. While the Men of Troy are proclaiming a return to the halcyon days of OJ Whatsisname, despite a less than emphatic win over Syracuse. Well, this conference game is biggie. Gus Johnson will be in town. More important, so will Erin Andrews, the new voice and look of Fox College Sports. Andrew Luck will not be under center for Leland's squad. Matt Barkley will be for the Trojans. Which is why the latter wins and the former loses.
Western Kentucky @ Kentucky. Last week in the U of L press box, a couple of scribes were obviously bored with the action on the field. One spent most of a quarter explaining to the other why Willie Taggert should be Kentucky's next mentor. "He's a helluva lot better coach than Joker," he opined. Maybe. Maybe not. This week's game could give some insight. The Hilltoppers are but a 7 1/2 point dog, heading into Commonwealth. Can they do what neither U of L or Kent State couldn't? Stop Max Smith, that is. If so, Taggert might get his chance. If not, the members of the Big Blue Nation who want to speak of Joker in the past tense will be further frustrated. Get used to it. UK takes care of biz this week.
North Carolina @ Louisville. The Cardinals defense has been disappointing, though they've surrendered only 10 1/2 points/ game, 16th best in the land. Their D is ranked 38th, which is not exactly what Charlie Strong was hoping for. Meanwhile Carolina, with its Pro Bowl line, is averaging 44 points and 200 yards rushing/ game. Of course, a lot of that gloss came from a W over something called Elon. This is the first of three testy non-league games in a row for Louisville. An L would be bracing. But I'm thinking Strong and Vance Bedford are going to coach 'em up for the season's first real test. Cards go 3-0.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease that appears on the skin. It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis is not contagious. There are five types of psoriasis: plaque, guttate, inverse, pustular and erythrodermic. The most common form, plaque psoriasis, is commonly seen as red and white hues of scaly patches appearing on the top first layer of the epidermis (skin). Some patients, though, have no dermatological symptoms.
In plaque psoriasis, skin rapidly accumulates at these sites, which gives it a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area, including the scalp, palms of hands and soles of feet, and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is more likely to be found on the outer side of the joint.
The disorder is a chronic recurring condition that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) and can be seen as an isolated symptom. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis. Between 10% and 40% of all people with psoriasis have psoriatic arthritis.(wikipedia)
Nursing Diagnosis for Psoriasis
- Impaired skin integrity related to inflammation between dermal - epidermal secondary to psoriasis
- Fear related to changes in appearance
- Anxiety related to changes in health status secondary to psoriasis
- Impaired self-concept related to the crisis of confidence
- Lack of knowledge related to not knowing the source of information.

ALBANY, Ga.: Officials with the Albany Water, Gas & Light Commission say they're working to determine what caused a switch to errantly flip mid-morning, knocking out power to 1,500 customers in Northwest Albany including those at the Albany Mall.
Spokesperson Laurie Farkas says that both Georgia Power and WG&L are working to determine whether the outage was caused by issues associated with the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia or some mechanical failure by WG&L.
"We did lose power to 1,500 customers around 11 a.m. this morning but all had power restored in about 45 minutes, which I think is pretty good," Farkas said. "I just got a message from some of our people and they hope to have the cause narrowed down in about two hours."

News: Dipset's Cam'ron Stirs Up The Mac, "We Wanna Do Some Soulful Hip-Hop Sh*t"
Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 4:45PM
A Dipset reunion album may be not be the only new music from Diplomat Cam'ron on the hip-hop horizon, as Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller has announced plans to drop a joint project alongside Killa.
Although there is no current timeline to chronicle when it will fully materialize, Miller said records have already begun piling up.
"Me and Cam are actually talking about doing a project together," Mac told XXLMag.com. "We don't know when we're gonna do it. We have three or four songs recorded already. We're working on more at this point. ... We're two funny guys. We cut up a lot in the studio, and have a good time and make some dope music. I think the cool thing is that it's an unexpected collaboration that actually turned out dope. We wanna do some soulful hip-hop sh*t, while also making some hard sh*t and some fun music. [We're] making sure that we do it in a way that's different than other people who have done projects together. It's still in the brainstorming stage, but we definitely have some dope records done. He's got a lot of knowledge in that he's schooling me on." (XXL Mag)
Earlier this month, Miller and Killa dropped their new "Dig That" collaboration.
An odd couple deserves an equally odd cover. Mac Miller's still living life in the fast lane since Blue Slide Park made history, and after several months of alluding to studio sessions with Killa Cam, the result has finally crash landed on the world wide web. With a subdued instrumental mellow enough to compliment King Jaffe Joe's exploits of random women and Mac's dream chasing, the Big Jerm-produced "Dig That" is actually quite impressive. The weather across the country appears to warmer than usual, so take the opportunity to let this command the sound system in the whip and ride out. You know that's the best way to judge music anyway. I'd go so far as to say I'd like to hear more music from the two. Then again, Cam can do no wrong in my book. (Smoking Section)
Last summer, Dipset's Jim Jones revealed a joint LP with Cam being in the works.
"It's a grinding process. I think me and Killa's Fly Boy album will come out right before the Diplomat album," Jones revealed in an interview referring to him and Cam'ron. "It's an album that we set out to do years ago when we first started the Diplomat movement and we was setting up the different albums that we were doing under Diplomat Records." (Invasion Radio)
West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle recently co-signed Miller's music grind.
"You know Mac Miller he a cool cat and I had been conscious of what he was doing from a distance. But I was walking through the mall or something or the airport one day and I see a Billboard [magazine] [...] I see who's on the cover of the Billboard and it was Mac Miller, and me knowing him as being independent and not having a huge radio presence, that was big to me [...] when I saw that I twipic'd it and I put it on Twitter," Nipsey explained. "I just gave him his props on that and was just like 'That's big.' You know, it's a sign of the times that we living in and you know he hollered back. ... It was you know just kicking it and played some music and all that and was just talking about the industry and I was just telling him how I really respect what he's doing and it's motivation for an artist like myself that's doing it independent right now to see somebody even before he put out a No. 1 album he was... so I just wanted to give him his props on that... so he's cool and we hit it off and knocked a couple records out." (BET)

In The Dig: A majority of ESPN's "Experts" think UTEP will come out victorious in the 2011 Conference USA Tournament; The Marshall Players vote for the best in the league; and all the Tourney links...
More fallout from ESPN over a hire that hasn't even been made official yet. First Rob Dauster of Ballin is a Habit (link above) defends the Niblett hire and notes that Floyd did nothing illegal. He also discusses the fact that the NCAA doesn't want to cut off a path for a high school coach to join the college ranks completely, so the hire Floyd made fits within the "spirit of the rule." Then, ESPN's Eamonn Brennon, link here, predictably argues that the NCAA should now ban the hire of high school coaches to college assistant jobs and to operations positions. So again, he admits that Floyd did nothing wrong, then criticizes him for doing something wrong.
ESPN's Eamonn Brennan reports that former Miner coach Billy Gillispie is actively pursuing the newly available head coaching job at Iowa State. It's just ironic that Tim Floyd came to fame at Iowa State and ended up at UTEP and Billy Gillispie might now complete the opposite path.
Bad review for Derrick Caracter; Miners hold their spring game; and Tony Barbee makes a cameo. In the Dig: Your best Conference USA round-up.
Want to get a feel for what the national media thinks of the Tim Floyd hire? What did Pete Carroll have to say to Tim? What PAC 10 area newspaper is worried about UTEP stealing recruits? It's all...

The University of British Columbia will gain research strength in areas ranging from artificial intelligence to nanostructures when three investigators join the university as Canada Research Chairs.
Investigators have been recruited from such prestigious institutions as Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Edinburgh.
The UBC positions -- valued at $1.5 million -- are among 79 federally funded research positions, representing a total investment of $62.9 million distributed to universities, research institutes and hospitals across Canada today. In addition, the Canada Foundation for Innovation supported the UBC positions with $263,800 and provided $8.1 million across Canada.
UBC has appointed 120 of the 158 Canada Research Chair positions allocated to the university.
The federally funded research positions are designed to build Canada's research capacity. An investment of $900 million will support the establishment of 2,000 Chairs at universities across the country.
"These individuals bring an international viewpoint and experience that contributes to a robust research environment on campus," says George Mackie, UBC associate vice-president, Academic Planning. "We have attracted these researchers in a very competitive environment which reinforces UBC's international reputation for research excellence."
Canada Research Chair in Machine Learning and Computational Statistics, Kevin Murphy, comes to UBC from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. An expert in computer vision and how computers understand images, his research will be useful for artificial intelligence and robotics.
Wenfei Fan, Canada Research Chair in Imaging Technologies, is an expert in extensible markup language, or XML, the format that allows data exchange between websites. His work will advance the understanding of XML publishing to help websites communicate better and in a more secure environment. Fan comes to UBC from the University of Edinburgh and Bell laboratories in the U.S.
Joshua Folk is Canada Research Chair in the Physics of Nanostructures and comes to UBC from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He focuses on electronic measurement of nanostructures, or structures small enough to isolate only a few electrons. His work will advance knowledge on molecule measurement, a necessary step towards understanding quantum mechanics.
Chair appointments provide research and salary support for either seven- or five-year terms. The seven-year terms are renewable; the five-year terms can be renewed once.
The Canada Foundation for Innovation is an independent corporation established by the Government of Canada in 1997 to strengthen the capability of Canadian universities, colleges, research hospitals, and other not-for-profit institutions to carry out world-class research and technology development.

Games come in all shapes and sizes, from basic toys to complex video games. While games serve the purpose of entertaining your children, there's more going on than kids just having fun.
Children explore and learn through playing as they practice making decisions and solving problems. So while kids are having a blast during playtime, games can help foster a variety of academic skills and a love of learning.
Through new technology, interactive video games in particular present a great way for kids to learn independently. Video games that incorporate your child's favorite television or cartoon character with basic math and reading skills are optimal at engaging kids.
"The games are entertaining and intuitive, enabling younger kids in the family to have fun while learning at their own pace," says Samantha Ryan, senior vice president of development and production for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
When selecting video games for your child, look for the following features:
By choosing the right games your children will get more out of playtime than just smiles on their faces.
