Britain's Great Enigma
Murray Has the Tools of a Champ, the Nerves of a Qualifier; Next Up: 'Deliciano'
WIMBLEDON, England—There are too many Andy Murrays.
One minute he's a mope, a mutterer, a self-hater, the next a believer and a tireless competitor. He can play tactically brilliant tennis with lots of drop shots and touch, or swing with abandon and belt winners, or play so tentatively that he doesn't seem to be doing much at all.
He can be passionate or indifferent, volatile or mellow, loose or stiff. Sometimes he's in charge, other times he waits and waits and then reacts. He is among the most talented players in tennis, but a man of multiple personalities and no identity.
Murray is back in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the fourth straight year after a 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-2 victory over Richard Gasquet Monday on Centre Court, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge—at this point better known to the world as Will and Kate—looked on. Murray bowed on his way off court and later met the royal couple.

"If I had known they were coming I would have shaved," Murray said. "As I came off I was sweaty and very hairy. I said to them, 'I'm sorry, I'm a bit sweaty'."
In the past three plus years, Murray has reached three major finals, beaten all of the game's best players and proved that he can perform on any surface (he has now reached at least the semifinals at all four Grand Slam tournaments). Every victory gives his fans hope that he'll be the first Brit to win a major title since Fred Perry won the U.S. Open in 1936.
There are good reasons for optimism, and good reasons for pessimism, too. Unlike many others who have tried to reduce Perry's last major title to a footnote, Murray doesn't lack for talent or nerve. He's a fabulous mover and something of a magician on the court, and he loves an audience. Even against Gasquet, though, one could see that Murray hasn't quite figured out what kind of tennis player he is. He started tentatively and only seemed to gain confidence after he had built a big lead.
"He's one of the best returners the game has ever seen, his movement is at the top of the sport," Andre Agassi said after watching Murray at the French Open earlier this month. "He just, I feel, waits a little too long to impose himself and you don't win these Slams without doing that."
Tim Henman, the serve-and-volleyer who used to carry the hopes of Great Britain on his shoulders, never had as many options as Murray. He played one way. In Murray, he sees endless variety—and the indecisiveness it can breed. "At times when he doesn't play his best he gets unstuck," Henman said. "He doesn't have a game plan, he gets too reactive rather than being proactive."
The three men ahead of Murray in the rankings have far stronger on-court personalities. When Rafael Nadal, the world's No. 1, takes the court, everyone knows what to expect. He'll defend impeccably, vary the spin and placement of his serves, control points with his forehand and sneak in for a volley here and there. He'll outlast almost anyone and won't make many mistakes.
Novak Djokovic, No. 2 player in the world, has smoothed over a flawed serve, reduced his errors and amped up an already great return. Roger Federer, the winner of a record 16 Grand Slam singles titles, can control a match from start to finish like no other man in history.
It's fitting that Murray idolized Agassi. The American started his career as a ball basher whose idea of a nutritious meal was a cheeseburger and fries. Over time, he became a patient, fit tactician who won major titles into his 30s. Asked about Murray, Agassi mentioned Lleyton Hewitt, a former No. 1 and two-time major title winner who made the most of what he had. Murray, Agassi said, could do far more, especially if he had a full-time coach.
In his short career, Murray has changed coaches more frequently than the players above him, including stints with Mark Petchey, Brad Gilbert, Miles Maclagan and Alex Corretja. Lately he has worked part-time with Darren Cahill, Agassi's former coach. Agassi said Murray needed that sort of help full-time. "If you gave me his game, I would be sick if I didn't win a slam," he said.
Murray's failure to win a major has much to do with the three men above him and his indecisive play in important matches. There's more to the story, though. For all his variety, Murray has a few technical limitations. Of the top four men in the world, his forehand rates fourth. More important, so does his serve.
"He has the lowest percentage of points won on the second serve," said Brad Gilbert, Murray's former coach. "That stat probably needs to come up in a big match."
Murray will next face Feliciano Lopez, who saved two match points Monday to beat Lukasz Kubot, 3-6, 6-7(5), 7-6(7), 7-5, 7-5. Murray is 4-0 against Lopez but there could be a slight distraction this time, at least if he bothers to read the local tabloids, which are sure to play up his mother's admiration for Lopez's physique. She calls Lopez "Deliciano" on Twitter.
"I think it's about time she stopped with that nonsense," Murray said at the weekend. "Makes me want to throw up. It's disgusting."
If Murray beats Lopez, he'll be one victory from his first Wimbledon final. "It all comes down to taking your chances when you play against the best players," Murray said. So far, he hasn't been able to do that. In three Grand Slam finals, he hasn't won a set.
Asked whether this was the best he had ever felt at Wimbledon, Murray gave a fitting answer for a man who still hasn't figured out his identity. "I don't know," he said. "You never know." Really, after a while, you should.

Customer Reviews of Waterproof Pet Dog Cat Seat Cover
good idea but ...12/17/2012
should be easy to install in your car but the clasps do not close securely so it comes undone as soon as the dog climbs in and lays down. I had to take the ties and wrap them around the headrest and tie a knot in them so they didn't keep falling down. The material is very stiff, not comfortable for the dog but it IS waterproof so....it all depends on what you want.

Robeline is a village in western Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 183 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Natchitoches Micropolitan Statistical Area.
According to a 2007 report, Robeline was named one of the ten worst speed traps in the state of Louisiana. Robeline made 85.73 percent of its revenue, an average of roughly $1,517 per capita population, from fines and forfeitures in the 2005 fiscal year. Motorists are strongly urged to drive under the speed limit when passing through Robeline.
In the 1880s, Robeline had a weekly newspaper, the Robeline Reporter, which was edited prior to his death by John Hamilton Cunningham (1812-1886), who had also been a physician, lawyer, planter, and minister. His son, Milton Joseph Cunningham, served three nonconsecutive terms as Attorney General of Louisiana prior to 1900, served in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature, and practiced law in Natchitoches and New Orleans.[1][2]
The former Robeline public school (Mascot was the Bulldogs) closed in 1980 because of a federal desegregation order. Elementary pupils were consolidated with nearby Marthaville; high schoolers were bused to Natchitoches Central High School.
Robeline is home of the annual Robeline Heritage Festival held the first weekend of October. Past performers have included several local musicians as well as Percy Sledge.
Robeline is located at 31°41′27″N 93°18′15″W / 31.69083°N 93.30417°W (31.690873, -93.304233).[3]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.0 square miles (2.6 km²), all land. Robeline was the capital of Texas for 50 years. Robeline was owned by the Spanish and a creek formed the border between Spanish Texas and French Louisiana. During 1870-1917, a railroad was built through Robeline and Marthaville, Louisiana. The town was rich with resources and money, but the railroad was abandoned in 1960, and Robeline declined. It now has a convince store, dollar store, several churches, and considerable wilderness.
As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 183 people, 76 households, and 48 families residing in the village. The population density was 182.0 inhabitants per square mile (70.0/km²). There were 97 housing units at an average density of 96.5 per square mile (37.1/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 77.05% White, 17.49% African American and 5.46% Native American. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.19% of the population.
There were 76 households out of which 28.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 46.1% were married couples living together, 14.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 36.8% were non-families. 34.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 15.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.41 and the average family size was 3.13.
In the village the population was spread out with 25.7% under the age of 18, 6.6% from 18 to 24, 27.9% from 25 to 44, 21.3% from 45 to 64, and 18.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females there were 94.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 103.0 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $13,036, and the median income for a family was $24,583. Males had a median income of $28,750 versus $14,375 for females. The per capita income for the village was $10,468. About 28.6% of families and 38.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 5.9% of those under the age of eighteen and 34.0% of those sixty five or over.

4 Ways to Curb Your Online Spending
Online shopping is convenient, but it can be costly. Use these tools to help limit your online purchases.
The Internet Age
This article originally appeared on LearnVest.com.
The Internet. It's our best friend and worst enemy, depending on the hour of the day and our frame of mind.
It's our ally when it comes to finding important info or Googling someone's photo. But when it comes to procrastinating, getting sucked down a social media rabbit hole, or online shopping (and forget about reading all those reviews)…well, sometimes we could just use an "off" button.
Online addiction—it's not only a formidable money-suck, it can be a time-suck as well (which is just as concerning, given how much your hour is worth).
So, after spending one too many precious hours online, we've decided to fight fire with fire.
We've found software, plug-ins, and websites that will help you focus on the task at hand (like, you know, your job—or your life) instead of getting sucked into yet another flash sale or YouTube marathon.
Read on for our online addiction fixes.

It may have been that his BB rate in college dropped three straight years, while hi K/9 was in double digits during that span. It may have been that he was considered major league ready, or close to it, and the Reds had a craptastic rotation and almost no SP depth at the time.
That MAY have been why the Stubbs pick was a bad one. I'm thrilled he's hitting now, but rotation of Harang, Lincecum, Cueto, Arroyo with Bailey on the way means the Reds likely don't trade Hamilton. I love EV in the rotation, but Lincecum would balance that and give the Reds 2 tremendous young talents in the OF, Bruce Hamilton.

NUI Galway Launches Points Calculator App for Leaving Certificate Students
Tuesday, 6 August 2013
'iPoints' is first third level digital app for calculating points The first official third level app designed for students to calculate leaving certificate points has been launched by NUI Galway. iPoints - the free app is a must for all Leaving Cert students expecting their results on Wednesday, 14 August and is available through iTunes as of today (6 August). NUI Galway, in partnership with former information technology student Paul Herron, developed the iPhone app. The app will allow Leaving Certificate students to quickly and easily calculate their points when they receive their exam results. Paul, originally from Letterkenny, Co Donegal, explained: "This app aims to simplify the point calculation process for students to relieve some of the stress of Leaving Cert' results day." CAO points are calculated based on a student's six highest results in one sitting of the Leaving Certificate. Students using the app will simply enter their results for each subject, indicating whether it is higher or ordinary level. The app calculates the number of points attained in each subject, and indicates the total. The app calculates 25 additional points to be added for Higher Maths if relevant, and allows for Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) scores to be included. The app also gives students the option to share their results by text message, or through social media channels, such as Facebook and Twitter, if they wish. Commenting on the app, Stephen O'Dea, Admissions Officer at NUI Galway said: "New technology is continually shaping the way we live and manage our lives and the iPoints points calculator is another useful tool in our increasingly hectic lives, and as every Leaving Cert' student knows, results day is very hectic indeed. As NUI Galway has a well established reputation in software development, the app's benefits to all Leaving Cert' students, is a compelling indicator of what can be achieved in third level education." NUI Galway is the only third level institution to offer a points calculator app to students. The NUI Galway iPoints app is available for all iPhone users on the iTunes store now www.tinyurl.com/NUIGalwayApp ENDS

NUI Galway Researchers Partner with Cardium on Diabetic Foot Ulceration Treatment Delivery
Wednesday, 7 August 2013
Cardium Therapeutics' Excellagen gel will be used as a delivery agent for stromal cell therapy REMEDI, The Regenerative Medicine Institute at NUI Galway and Orbsen Therapeutics have entered into an agreement with Cardium Therapeutics to utilise Cardium's Excellagen® pharmaceutically-formulated gel as a delivery agent for Orbsen Therapeutics' proprietary stromal cell therapy in pre-clinical studies for the potential treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Excellagen is a syringe-based, professional-use, pharmaceutically-formulated 2.6% fibrillar Type I bovine collagen homogenate that functions as an acellular biological modulator to activate the wound healing process and significantly accelerate the growth of granulation tissue. The research is being conducted by REMEDI at NUI Galway, a world-class biomedical research centre established with funding from Science Foundation Ireland and focused on mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) research. The research initiative (EU REDDSTAR) is funded under the European Union Framework 7 (EU FP7) research programme focused on treating diabetes and its complications with a defined MSC therapy and enlisting academic and industry partners throughout Europe in the program (www.reddstar.eu). Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. About 90% of all diabetes is type 2. In Ireland the number of people with type 2 diabetes is growing as a result of an ageing population and rising obesity rates. The Diabetes Federation of Ireland estimated that 200,000 people had diabetes in Ireland in 2003 and a further 200,000 had the condition but were unaware of it. They also estimated that a further 250,000 had pre-diabetes and 50% would develop diabetes in the ensuing five years if lifestyle changes were not met. Professor Tim O'Brien, Director of REMEDI, NUI Galway said "Diabetic foot ulceration is a frequent cause of amputation in patients with diabetes mellitus. New treatments are urgently required and we have shown that mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to promote healing." He added "one of the challenges with this approach is how to deliver the cells to the surface of the wound and Orbsen and REMEDI have partnered with Cardium Therapeutics to study the use of their biomaterial to deliver the Orbsen cells to the surface of the wound." Orbsen Therapeutics, a spin out company of REMEDI, has received funding from the EU to explore the use of a proprietary stem cell product to treat diabetic foot ulcers. About REMEDI REMEDI is a world-class biomedical research centre focusing on gene therapy and stem cell research. Based in NUI Galway, REMEDI was established in 2004 through a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Centre for Science Engineering and Technology (CSET) award, and industry funding. More information is available at http://www.nuigalway.ie/remedi/about-us. About CARDIUM Cardium is an asset-based health sciences and regenerative medicine company focused on the acquisition and strategic development of innovative products and businesses with the potential to address significant unmet medical needs and having definable pathways to commercialisation, partnering or other economic monetisations. The Company's lead commercial product, Excellagen® topical gel for wound care management, has received FDA clearance for marketing and sale in the United States.

NUI Galway Special Maths Exam Offers Leaving Cert Students a Second Chance
Wednesday, 7 August 2013
The College of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway has announced details of a special entrance maths examination to give students a second chance to pursue a career in engineering. The exam, which takes place on Wednesday, 21 August, is for students who achieve the CAO points for an undergraduate engineering degree course at NUI Galway but who have not met the obligatory maths requirement. This year, NUI Galway will hold an intensive preparatory course for applicants intending to sit the exam. This free course will run from 15-20 August. For more than 20 years NUI Galway has provided this special entrance exam to help applicants who did not achieve the required grade C3 or better in higher level mathematics. Those who took lower level maths in the Leaving Cert may also apply for the exam. Students who pass this examination will be deemed to have satisfied the maths requirement and, providing they have the necessary points, will receive an additional CAO offer at Round Two. In addition to preparing students for the special entrance examination, lecturers will demonstrate the relevance and application of mathematics to engineering. The aim of the preparatory course is to bridge the gap between the Leaving Certificate lower level and that required to be successful in the entrance exam. This will be achieved by tackling a variety of problems of increasing difficulty. Learning how to approach a problem and apply the knowledge available will be emphasised. "The nature of engineering programmes is that they are focused on the development of analytical and problem solving skills, and thus require significant use of mathematics and applied mathematics," said Professor Gerry Lyons, Dean of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway. "Every year we see a number of promising students who perform poorly on the day of the Leaving Cert exam. Our Special Entrance Maths Examination provides these students with a second opportunity to demonstrate that they have reached the necessary standard in maths. Over the years, we have had some exceptionally talented students graduate and pursue successful careers in engineering because they were given the second chance which this exam represents." "Demand for engineering programmes at NUI Galway continues to rise year on year and the College of Engineering has expanded its degree programmes to meet requirements. Engineering is at the heart of the emerging 'Smart Economy' and NUI Galway realises its role in providing world-class graduates to meet the needs of industry and the Smart Economy", continued Professor Lyons. NUI Galway offers students an undenominated entry to engineering. This course is specifically designed for students who are interested in becoming an engineer, but uncertain as to which field they want to specialise in. This course offers students the option of studying engineering in a general way for one year before going on to specialise in their chosen field in year two. To apply for the special maths exam please visit: www.nuigalway.ie/engineering/specialmaths.html. Those interested in the revision maths course and the examination should call 091 492 101 or visit http://www.nuigalway.ie/engineering/specialmaths.html for further details. -ENDS- Seans Eile á thabhairt ag OÉ Gaillimh do Mhic Léinn na hArdteistiméireachta trí Scrúdú Speisialta Matamaitice a Reáchtáil Tá Coláiste na hInnealtóireachta agus na hIonformaitice in OÉ Gaillimh i ndiaidh sonraí a chur ar fáil faoi scrúdú speisialta iontrála matamaitice, scrúdú a thugann seans eile do mhic léinn tabhairt faoi ghairm na hinnealtóireachta. Beidh an scrúdú ar siúl Dé Céadaoin, an 21 Lúnasa, agus tá sé dírithe ar mhic léinn a bhaineann na pointí cuí don CAO amach chun cúrsa céime san innealtóireacht a dhéanamh in OÉ Gaillimh ach nach bhfuil an marc riachtanach acu sa mhatamaitic. I mbliana, beidh dianchúrsa ullmhúcháin ar siúl in OÉ Gaillimh roimh ré dóibh siúd ar mian leo an scrúdú a dhéanamh. Beidh an cúrsa saor in aisce seo ar siúl ón 15-20 Lúnasa. Le breis agus scór bliain anuas, tá an scrúdú speisialta iontrála seo á reáchtáil ag OÉ Gaillimh chun cabhrú le hiarratasóirí nár éirigh leo an grád riachtanach C3 nó os a chionn a bhaint amach sa pháipéar matamaitice ardleibhéil.

NUI Galway Hosts 2013 Global Youth Debate Forum
Friday, 9 August 2013
NUI Galway will host the 2013 International Debate Education Association (IDEA) Global Youth Forum where debaters from 48 countries will deliberate on this year's theme of Digital Freedom. Running from 13-26 August, this is the first time the Forum has been held in Ireland. Organised in cooperation with NUI Galway's Literary and Debating Society and the Open Society Foundations – Youth Initiative, the 2013 IDEA Global Youth Forum allows an opportunity for local students to participate and meet peers from all over the world. Now in its 19th year, the Forum is aimed at both novice and experienced debaters and offers students training, competition experiences and the chance to participate in cross-cultural exchange, focussing on issues that affect young people within their communities. Last year's Forum in Mexico saw over 250 participants attend from more than 40 countries across Europe, Central and Eastern Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. The key focus of the Global Youth Forum is cultural exchange and, unlike a traditional debate competition, the participants are mixed in geographically diverse teams, giving young people the chance to meet and work with students from across the world, with very different experiences to their own. Steven Nolan, Youth Forum Director for IDEA said: "The Global Youth Forum is an unrivalled opportunity for young people to develop their skills, meet and interact with people from a different background to their own. It's an excellent opportunity to host the Forum in Galway, and have some local schools take part for the first time." Elena Micajkova, a participant from the 2012 Mexico Global Youth Forum said: "The Global Youth Forum is a platform where students train to be world citizens, challenging them to be reasonable, intellectual and to show appreciation for others, giving them an experience in international exchange and co-operation." The opening ceremony, which takes place on Tuesday, 13 August at 8pm in the O'Flaherty Lecture Theatre, will be addressed by Marian Harkin MEP. For more information about the event visit youthforum.idebate.org where workshops and debate rounds will be streamed live. -ENDS-

Eurapp Seeking Innovative Ideas to Create More Opportunities in the EU App Economy
Friday, 9 August 2013
Solver competition to tackle key issues around funding and scaling-up in the EU app economy and dealing with EU-wide market conditions Eurapp, a European Commission-funded study of the EU app economy led by Dr John Breslin of NUI Galway, is now inviting solvers globally to generate ideas to solve major challenges facing the EU app economy, with a total prize fund of €9000 and an additional €15000 to facilitate travel of the top ten solvers to a Eurapp event in Berlin this November. Research shows that over half a million jobs have been created in the growing US mobile and social app ecosystem. Anecdotal evidence suggests the EU is lagging behind, and Eurapp aims to tackle that by modelling and profiling jobs generated by the EU app economy, as well as highlighting potential opportunities for future success and growth. Eurapp is launching two innovation challenges in parallel during August 2013 to crowdsource solutions to challenges for the app economy in the EU. During the five weeks for each challenge, solvers will have an opportunity to provide ideas on how to overcome various barriers and to trigger the growth of the app economy in the EU. The two challenges will focus on funding and scaling-up app startups, and on improving the capabilities of app startups to deal with EU-wide market conditions. The first challenge launches today (9 August) with the second challenge beginning a week later. Martin Hahn from DG CONNECT said: "The European Commission has clearly identified that there is a need for action in the field of web entrepreneurship, and for now, we don't have sufficient evidential data about what is going on in this market. The market is very new, rapid and diverse, so it is necessary that we have clear objectives and clear data." "Around about a fifth of the top-grossing apps in iOS and Android come from European publishers, so the majority are from the US," according to Mark Mulligan, an analyst with GigaOM Research. "So many developers have a really small reach, and there is almost so much choice that it is becoming increasingly hard for consumers to connect with European developers' apps." NUI Galway's Dr John Breslin, leader of the Eurapp project, said: "In the interviews carried out so far and in our stakeholders workshop, one key challenge that was iterated again and again was funding. The consensus was that it can be more difficult to get the substantial funding required to sustain or grow an internationally-operating app business in the EU, when compared with our counterparts in the US. It may be the less risk-averse mindset in the US, or a lack of know-how in EU companies about how to promote and position one's app in the market, or other factors. "Similarly, issues around regulatory and country-specific barriers - e.g. privacy laws, data access, and working in fragmented national markets - have been cited as problems by stakeholders, and gathered into a challenge we have called 'EU-wide market conditions'. We hope the solvers can come up with some innovative ideas of how to address these challenges", continued Dr Breslin. "We have chosen InnoCentive as the platform to crowdsource these solutions due to their large community of solvers and previous challenges around the web and data". Kevin Mobbs from InnoCentive, the crowdsourcing platform being used for the challenges, said: "We like to think of our approach as challenge-driven innovation, or open innovation. I think 'open' is the key word. Anyone can come along and answer questions: end users, the platform providers, the professional developers and the hobbyists." The solvers who put forth the top ten innovative solutions will be invited to a Eurapp event in Berlin in mid-November, where they will present their ideas for discussion with 80 stakeholders from the EU app economy.

NUI Galway First Year Student Hotline Opens for Fourth Consecutive Year
Tuesday, 13 August 2013
NUI Galway will once again open its dedicated First Year Student Hotline on Wednesday, 14 August. Now in its fourth year the hotline will be open to students, their parents and their advisers and will run until Monday, 30 September, 2013. The initiative, which was launched in summer 2010 and was the first of its kind across the sector, has been specially designed to help incoming first year students make the transition to third level education. With NUI Galway anticipating an intake of over 3,200 new students in September, a team of specially-trained students will service the hotline Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and Saturday 17 and 24 August, 10am to 1pm.The availability of the hotline coincides with the period of frantic activity and decision making that immediately follows the release of the Leaving Certificate results. The hotline will be active throughout first year orientation on 7 and 8 September and will remain in service for two weeks after lectures begin on September 9, providing students with a place to direct any conceivable query they encounter as they embark on their journey to NUI Galway. The hotline team will provide an efficient, responsive service to callers and are expected to deal with numerous issues that are of concern to incoming first year students. Anticipated queries include: points requirements for courses; first round offers; registering as a student of the University; start dates; fees and accommodation options. A designated website for first years will also update on a daily basis detailing the information sought and fed through the new hotline. It will be a portal of specific information aimed at demystifying the first few weeks of university life. Stephen O'Dea, Admissions Officer at NUI Galway, says: "For all students receiving their Leaving Certificate results, the next few weeks will be a very hectic and exciting time indeed, with the transition from second to third-level education representing a major milestone in the lives of these young people. We at NUI Galway recognise the significance of this change and the impact that it will have on the individuals and the families of those entering into University education for the first time.

Don cheathrú bliain as a chéile, beidh mic léinn, a dtuismitheoirí agus a lucht comhairlithe in ann glaoch ar an mbeolíne go dtí Dé Luain, an 30 Meán Fómhair 2013. Bunaíodh an tionscnamh seo, a seoladh i samhradh na bliana 2010 agus arbh é an chéad cheann dá leithéid é san earnáil seo, le cabhrú le mic léinn na chéad bhliana an t-aistriú a dhéanamh chuig an oideachas tríú leibhéal. Tá OÉ Gaillimh ag dúil go mbeidh breis agus 3,200 mac léinn nua ag tosú i mí Mheán Fómhair, agus, dá bhrí sin, beidh foireann de mhic léinn atá oilte ar an gceird i mbun na beolíne ó Luan go hAoine, 9am - 6pm, agus Dé Sathairn, an 17 agus an 24 Lúnasa, 10am - 1pm.Beidh an bheolíne ar fáil sa tréimhse chorraitheach sin ina mbíonn ar dhaltaí cinneadh a dhéanamh díreach i ndiaidh dóibh torthaí na hArdteistiméireachta a fháil. Beidh an bheolíne ar oscailt i rith na seisiún céadbhlaiste do mhic léinn na chéad bhliana, an 7 agus an 8 Meán Fómhair, agus beidh an líne ag feidhmiú ar feadh coicíse i ndiaidh an dáta a gcuirfear tús leis na léachtaí, an 9 Meán Fómhair. Tabharfaidh sé seo deis do mhic léinn glao a chur ar an mbeolíne má bhíonn ceist ar bith acu agus iad ag tabhairt faoina saol in OÉ Gaillimh. Cuirfidh foireann na beolíne seirbhís éifeachtach ar fáil dóibh sin a ghlaonn ar an líne agus meastar go mbeifear ag plé le hábhair go leor a bhíonn ag déanamh tinnis do mhic léinn na chéad bhliana. Meastar go mbeidh ceisteanna á gcur faoi na hábhair seo a leanas: na pointí atá riachtanach do chúrsaí ar leith; tairiscintí sa chéad bhabhta; clárú mar mhac léinn san Ollscoil; dátaí tosaithe; táillí agus roghanna lóistín. Tabharfar láithreán gréasáin ar leith atá ann do mhic léinn na chéad bhliana cothrom le dáta gach lá chomh maith. Beidh eolas le fáil ann faoi na ceisteanna a bhí ag na daoine a ghlaoigh ar an mbeolíne nua. Is tairseach eolais ar leith a bheidh sa láithreán gréasáin agus beidh sé de chuspóir aige cuid den smúit a bhaineann leis an gcéad chúpla seachtain ar an ollscoil a scaipeadh. Bhí an méid seo a leanas le rá ag Stephen O'Dea, Oifigeach Iontrála in OÉ Gaillimh: "Is athrú mór saoil an t-aistriú ón dara leibhéal go dtí an tríú leibhéal do gach duine óg agus cé gur tréimhse iontach an tréimhse sin dóibh d'fhéadfadh sí a bheith crua chomh maith. Aithnímid anseo in OÉ Gaillimh an tábhacht a bhaineann leis an athrú seo agus an tionchar a bheidh aige ar na daoine atá ag freastal ar oideachas Ollscoile den chéad uair, agus ar a dteaghlaigh. Chuige sin, bunaíodh Beolíne Mhic Léinn na Chéad Bhliana chun eolas, treoir agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do gach duine bainteach leis an athrú saoil seo. Tá fáilte roimh mhic léinn, tuismitheoirí agus a lucht comhairlithe úsáid a bhaint as an tseirbhís chun cuidiú leis an aistear chuig OÉ Gaillimh." Féadfaidh mic léinn, tuismitheoirí agus lucht comhairlithe teagmháil a dhéanamh le Beolíne Mhic Léinn na Chéad Bhliana ar 091 493999 nó dul go dtí http://www.nuigalway.ie/new-students/. -CRÍOCH-

Best Buy Shareholders Should Fire Board of Directors
SEC Website). More power to Joly. But less power to the Best Buy board of directors for making this move in the first place. They not only hired Joly, they waited a month for the guy's visa to clear before he could start. They waited for Hubert Joly ... seriously.The board, with the assistance of the same search firm that helped Yahoo! nail Mayer, hired Joly. Joly reports to this board. It's their fault, not his, that he's failing. Investors need to go after the Best Buy board. In a perfect world that makes sense, but it doesn't work that way. Unless a major shareholder -- a big fund, a Carl Ichan, a Warren Buffett -- makes a move, there's not much investors, particularly at the retail level, can do to rattle an inept board of directors' cage. While it's often the guy who loses his butt on 100 or 1,000 shares that gets hurt the most, these people have no recourse. Thousands of disparate shareholders, each with a few shares here or there, can't possibly band together to send the message and incite change within a company the size of Best Buy. Founder Richard Schulze is having a hard enough time and he's actually got some clout. All you can do is write off up to $3,000 of your loss on your taxes each April. In a perfect world, shareholders could band together -- like voters are able to do, theoretically, in American politics -- and oust a board for driving a hurting company further into the ground. But this world's not perfect. Joly and the board that hired him keep getting richer, while the rank-and-file BBY shareholder suffers. Follow @rocco_thestreet --Written by Rocco Pendola in Santa Monica, Calif.But, criticism of Joly only goes so far. He has no business as CEO of a dying retailer in need of wholesale, visionary transformation. That said, I can't blame him for taking the gig. It's a sweet deal (you can see details at the

Warsaw plans to bulldoze quaint wooden homes outages residents, mobilizes Finnish ambassador
WARSAW, Poland — Nearby the big city rumbles, but one feels almost transported to a quiet forest village when standing amid a colony of Finnish wooden houses in Warsaw's government district.The homes, erected as temporary housing in the destroyed capital just after World War II, have dwindled over the years from 90 to about 25. Now the surviving structures have become a point of contention between their inhabitants and a city government keen on tearing them down to make way for new developments.It's a story being played out in various ways in Warsaw these days, as the Polish capital undergoes a building boom that makes new constructions lucrative for developers and attractive to city officials eager to put their mark on the city. But such change often comes at the cost of old buildings of historical or sentimental value to others....

Speculation about Jim Boeheim's retirement isn't going to go away
Mar 13, 2013, 9:00 AM EDT
When talk of Jim Boeheim retiring comes up, the evidence used to prove that he's considering it is completely circumstantial. Boeheim himself, as recently as Saturday, emphatically stated, in no uncertain terms, that he hasn't thought about retiring.
"There's nothing to talk about because I haven't given a thought to it. I've never … ever … ever … ever … said anything about retiring," Boeheim told Bud Poliquin of Syracuse.com on Saturday afternoon, after Syracuse lost to Georgetown at the Verizon Center. "I've said the same thing all year, and all last year: I just want to get through the year. I have no plans to retire. Could I retire? Anything can happen, but I have no thoughts right now. If I was thinking about it a little bit, I'd say, 'Well, I'm thinking about it.' But I'm not. That golf line was just a joke. The season's almost over. In a couple of weeks, I'll go play golf. But not permanently. I don't like golf that much."
The reason that Poliquin had to track down Boeheim and ask him about his retirement was the result of something he said in the postgame press conference.
"I'm pretty much ready to go play golf someplace," he said. "If I was 40 years old, I would be real upset. I'm not 40 years old. That should be obvious." This came after the 68-year old Boeheim made a long, rambling and wistful statement in remembrance of the Big East and the Syracuse rivalry with Georgetown. As I wrote on Saturday, it was easy to tell that Boeheim was looking back fondly on an era that was coming to a close, but whether the era in question was Syracuse's time in the Big East or his tenure as the coach of the Orange was unclear.
What we do know is that Boeheim isn't getting any younger. Syracuse is leaving the conference that he helped build and breaking up a rivalry that he's been a central figure in for 33 years. Retiring and sending Orange basketball into their new era with a new coach, leaving as the only man to have the title of 'Syracuse head coach' in Big East history, would put a nice little bow on his career.
Boeheim's made it clear the move to the ACC doesn't necessarily excite him, making it perfectly clear he doesn't think Greensboro, NC, compares to New York City and that he doesn't look forward to having to eat at a Denny's on trips to Clemson. Throw in the fact that his hand-picked successor is interviewing for coaching gigs on the other side of the country, and it just fits.
So no, Boeheim hasn't made any comments about retiring. The ones that can be interpreted as a veiled hint at his future can also be read as another example of a grumpy old curmudgeon saying the things grumpy old curmudgeons say.
But don't expect the speculation to go away, not when Boeheim's retirement this offseason would be a poetic way to end his story.

It would only be fitting if Denny's gave him an endorsement contract so he can eat there for free for the rest of his life, and Greensboro erects a sign that welcomes the Orange to "The Manhattan of The Carolinas" when next season rolls around. And the ACC should modify its preseason awards to include a preseason Coach of The Year, naming it, of course, The Boeheim Award It all just seems right to me…

Yes he should. He's such an old grouch these days. Yelling at reporters and spouting off nonsense on a variety of world and societal issues and defending Bernie Fine before even finding out any information about the situation. He just a big bag of self-important wind. Still a good coach and recruiter but I've tired of his act.
