Law Reform Commission to Hold Public Consultation in Galway on Programme of Law Reform
Thursday, 21 February 2013
The Law Reform Commission will hold a public consultation on its Fourth Programme of Law Reform in Áras Moyola, NUI Galway at 7.30pm on Wednesday, 27 February. The event will be chaired by the Commission President, Mr Justice John Quirke, and there will be two contributions from invited speakers: Judge Tom O'Donnell of the Circuit Court and Damien McCallig, an Irish Research Council-funded PhD candidate in the School of Law, NUI Galway. The purpose of the evening is to hear the views of members of the public on what should be contained in the Fourth Programme of Law Reform. Members of the Law Reform Commission, including Tom O'Malley and Donncha O'Connell from the School of Law, NUIG, will be in attendance in a listening capacity. The event is open to the public and there is no admission charge. The Law Reform Commission is a statutory body, established by the Law Reform Commission Act 1975, with a mandate to keep the law under review, to undertake examinations and conduct research with a view to reforming the law, and to formulate proposals for law reform. Having completed the majority of the projects set out in its Third Programme of Law Reform, the Law Reform Commission is now in the process of preparing a new Programme of Law Reform which will form the principal basis of the Commission's work over the coming years, subject to approval by the Government.

Biomnis Ireland and Full Health Medical to roll out Full Health innovation offering to Irish businesses
Friday, 22 February 2013
"Full Health puts employees in the driving seat on preventative health" – Taoiseach A major personal health initiative which promises to revolutionise the way medical test results are reported, was unveiled by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny T.D. in Dublin yesterday. The new initiative, 'Full Health', which is being introduced into Biomnis Ireland's workplace health screening programme, has the potential to significantly enhance preventative health planning for employees. Developed by a team of doctors at Full Health Medical, a company based in the NUI Galway Business Innovation Centre, 'Full Health' converts medical test results into a personalised report, outlining what the medical test results mean in a simple and easy-to-understand way. The report, which combines medical, family history and lifestyle information with the test results, provides the individual with a personalised set of recommendations and preventative health measures. The 'Full Health' technology is now being introduced by Biomnis Ireland – the leading provider of medical laboratory testing services – as part of its workplace health screening programme, HealthWatch, which will benefit both employees and their employers. HealthWatch is Ireland's largest independent provider of workplace health and lifestyle screening programmes. Speaking at the launch event at the Biomnis Ireland Laboratories in Sandyford, Mr Kenny described Full Health as an empowering solution which puts employees firmly in control of their own personal health. "As Ireland moves towards economic recovery, we need to secure the health and wellbeing of our workforce. Companies are increasingly aware that employee health can have a significant impact on the bottom line. This is a wonderful example of an innovative start-up company, Full Health, responding to a market opportunity and then commercialising its offering in conjunction with Biomnis Ireland. It is especially gratifying to see this level of collaboration happening in an Irish business setting and I wish the venture every success." Full Health Medical is a Galway–based company that has developed new health technology which decodes complex medical data and creates simple medical reports that can empower people to improve their health. Dr Ann Shortt of Full Health Medical predicted Full Health would be a valuable tool in detecting and offsetting chronic illnesses and disease in the workplace. "The cost of just one chronic illness can be huge to a national economy, for example, type 2 diabetes which affects 5% of the Irish population. Extrapolating from UK figures, type 2 diabetes leads to approximately 515,000 absentee days per year in Ireland, costing €72.5 million while diabetes presenteeism (productivity loss among people still in work but suffering from this disease) costs a further €247 million.1 When the largest cost to business is wages and salaries, it makes sound business sense to invest in understanding employee health. Full Health can really help employers in a practical and meaningful way to anticipate and mitigate against future financial loss." John O'Sullivan, CEO Biomnis Ireland said: "We are delighted to collaborate with Full Health on this partnership which we see as a unique medical reporting solution, which will form a key part of our growing HealthWatch brand. The HealthWatch screening service delivers health checks to approximately 10,000 employees every year. The Full Health initiative will provide employees with the important information in an easy-to-understand format as well as recommendations on how to stay healthy. We also see it as having a wider application across the Biomnis group for our laboratory testing service as a premium content offering for clinicians and their patients." Fiona Neary of NUI Galway's Technology Transfer Office and Business Innovation Centre, said: "The NUI Galway Business Innovation Centre is buzzing with so much technology expertise, and Full Health Medical Ltd being no exception. We are here to support pioneering and ground-breaking companies that offer business solutions through the use of technology as can be demonstrated by the launch of 'Full Health', a preventative health innovation developed by our client company Full Health Medical Ltd. NUI Galway is a great place to do business, because of the workspace suitability for start-ups, the technical infrastructure, the atmosphere of innovation, as well as having research and industry located together is definitely a winning combination."

NUI Galway Secures Significant Funding in Government's €300 million Investment in World-Class Research Centres
Monday, 25 February 2013
Largest ever state/industry co-funded research investment in Ireland €200m of new Exchequer funds for 7 World Class Research Centres over 6 years €100m co-investment by over 150 industry partners NUI Galway represented in 3 of the 7 Centres Supports key growth areas targeted in the Action Plan for Jobs 2013 Targets research into major social challenges, including Health and Energy Directly supporting 800 top-class researcher positions NUI Galway features prominently in Government plans for science and technology research over the next six years, as part of a €300 million investment announcement today. The University will participate in three of the seven new Science Foundation Ireland Research Centres as announced by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard BrutonTD and Sean Sherlock, TD, Minister for Research and Innovation, in Dublin today. In a landmark investment by the Government in scientific research which is closely aligned to industry and enterprise needs, job opportunities and societal goals, €200 million of Irish exchequer funding will be invested in seven world class research centres of scale. The new funding will be delivered through Science Foundation Ireland's (SFI) Research Centres Programme coupled with over €100 million in cash and in-kind contributions from industry partners, making it the largest ever combined state/industry co-funding announcement of its kind in the research field in Ireland. The funding will be provided over the next six years with a mid-term review. Big Data and Analytics - INSIGHT NUI Galway's web science research centre, the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), along with colleagues from the discipline of IT, will play a leading role in a new 'big data' and analytics centre, INSIGHT. For the last decade DERI has been at the vanguard of web science research and now has 140 researchers based in NUI Galway. With the explosion of internet based information, 'Big Data' represents a sector that is currently growing at up to 40% per annum. With 32 industry partners, including CISCO, Avaya and HP in Galway,INSIGHT will lead the development of breakthrough data analytics technologies to make Ireland a global leader in this rapidly expanding area. The goal of INSIGHT is explained by Professor Stefan Decker, Director of DERI: "In our digital age, the amount of data is growing exponentially. We want to harness that information and make it work for individuals, for business and for society. With significant support from SFI we are taking our research to the next phase, which is world-class and will have world-wide influence. This will have huge impact on the ICT sector in Ireland, in terms of supporting existing industry, attracting foreign direct investment and propelling Ireland onto the world stage in this area." Marine Renewable Energy - MaREI Another new initiative, the Centre for Marine Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI), will carry out world-leading research on all aspects required for the success of the marine renewable energy sector while also educating and training the next generation of engineers and scientists for the marine renewable energy industry. Ireland is one of the best locations in the world in terms of marine renewable energy resources. This centre will look to generate energy technologies for industry from wave, tidal and floating wind devices. NUI Galway's Professor Michael Hartnett, who will be Deputy Director of MaREI, along with Dr Conchur O'Bradaigh will lead teams of researchers investigating tidal energy and the development of novel materials for use in the marine renewable energy industry. Synthesis and solid State Pharmaceutical Technologies Cluster (SSPC) NUI Galway will also be part of Synthesis and solid State Pharmaceutical TechnologiesCluster along with its Alliance Partner, the University of Limerick. Speaking about the selection of the seven world-class centres, Professor Mark Ferguson, Director General of SFI, said: "These seven funded research centres were selected from 35 proposals following a highly competitive and rigorous international peer review process. This 20% success rate is comparable to international funding success rates. Each centre proposal was examined for scientific excellence through international scientific review by eminent scientists from the world's leading universities and for potential economic impact through an international impact review by distinguished industrial R&D leaders, high technology investors, translational institute directors and tech transfer directors from world leading universities. Over 100 esteemed international reviewers have joined with Industry and agency experts to ensure that the centres supported have excellent science with the potential to deliver societal and economic impact. " At today's announcement in Dublin, Dr Jim Browne, President of NUI Galway, said: "NUI Galway is a leading international, research-intensive university, ranked amongst the top 250 universities in the world. The level of investment announced today by SFI in NUI Galway is very significant. It is an endorsement not only of our research excellence, but also of our collaboration with academic partners and industry. "We have an ambitious research agenda, which is having a direct effect on job creation, through industry partnerships, spin-outs and innovation. Today's investment is a welcome validation of our research agenda, past and future." Commenting on the benefits for job-creation, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: "A key part of the Government's Action Plan for Jobs is to build on the major achievements in scientific research we have built up over the past decade and turn more good ideas into good jobs. Today's announcement will lead to the establishment in Ireland of world-class centres of research excellence and scale which will be game-changers for Irish scientific research." "The €300million investment announced today, and the seven new, large-scale, world-class research centres it will support, are aimed at achieving a step-change in the reputation and performance of Ireland's research system. This will support more than 800 talented scientists, develop cutting-edge research and new technologies, attract dynamic partnerships with industry and ultimately help to create the jobs we need." The new centres will link scientists and engineers in partnerships across academia and industry to address crucial research questions, and foster the development of new and existing Irish-based technology companies. The aim is also to attract industry that could make an important contribution to Ireland and its economy, and expand educational and career opportunities in Ireland in science and engineering. "We are pushing the frontiers of science and discovery at NUI Galway. Whether it's securing Ireland's energy independence through marine renewables or revolutionising the World Wide Web, our research shapes and influences all of our futures. Our research, carried out in conjunction with collaborators and our industry partners, also has huge potential in terms of job creation and growth", said Professor Lokesh Joshi, Vice-President for Research at NUI Galway. -ENDS- Faigheann OÉ Gaillimh Maoiniú Suntasach in Infheistíócht €300 milliún ón Rialtais in Ionaid Thaighde den Chéad Scoth · An infheistíocht taighde is mó riamh in Éirinn atá cómhaoinithe ag stát/tionsclaíocht · €200m maoiniú nua ón Státchiste d'Ionaid Taighde den Chéad Scoth thar thréimhse 6 bliana · €100m comhaoinithe ag breis is 150 comhpháirtithe tionsclaíochta · Ionadaíocht ag OÉ Gaillimh i dtrí cinn de na seacht nIonad Taighde · Tacaíocht á tabhairt do phríomhréimsí fáis atá mar spriocanna i bPlean Gníomhaíochta do Phoist 2013 · Dírithe ar thaighde ar mhórdhúshláin shóisialta, Sláinte agus Fuinneamh san áireamh · Tacaíocht á tabhairt go díreach do 800 post den chéad scoth do thaighdeoirí Tá páirt suntasach ag OÉ Gaillimh i bpleananna an Rialtais don taighde eolaíochta agus teicneolaíochta as seo go ceann sé bliana, mar chuid de mhaoiniú €300 milliún don taighde a fógraíodh inniu.

Tá leibhéal na hinfheistíochta in OÉ Gaillimh a d'fhógair SFI inniu fíorshuntasach. Is formheas é ní hamháin ar fheabhas ár gcuid taighde, ach ar an gcomhoibriú atá á dhéanamh againn freisin le comhpháirtithe acadúla agus le tionsclaíocht. Tá clár uaillmhianach taighde againn, a bhfuil iarmhairt díreach aige ar chruthú post, trí chomhpháirtíochtaí, mac-chuideachtaí agus nuálaíocht tionsclaíochta. Déanann infheistíocht an lae inniu bailmheas a gcuirimid fáilte roimhe ar ár gclár taighde, san am atá thart agus sa todhchaí." Ag labhairt faoi na tairbhí atá ann do chruthú post, dúirt an tAire Post, Fiontar agus Nuálaíochta, Risteárd De Briotún TD: "Is príomhchuid de Phlean Gníomhaíochta do Phoist an Rialtais cur leis na móréachtaí i dtaighde eolaíoch atá déanta againn le deich mbliana anuas agus poist mhaithe a dhéanamh as smaointe maithe eile. Mar thoradh ar fhógairt an lae inniu, bunófar in Éirinn ionaid bharr feabhais taighde agus scála den chéad scoth a athróidh go suntasach an taighde eolaíoch in Éirinn as seo amach." "Tá an infheistíocht €300 milliún a fógraíodh inniu, agus na seacht n-ionad nua mórscála taighde den chéad scoth a gheobhaidh tacaíocht ón infheistíocht sin, dírithe ar athrú suntasach a bhaint amach i gclú agus i bhfeidhmíocht an chórais taighde in Éirinn. Déanfaidh sé seo tacaíocht a thabhairt do bhreis is 800 eolaí tallannach, taighde ceannródaíoch agus teicneolaíochtaí nua a fhorbairt, comhpháirtíochtaí dinimiciúla le tionsclaíocht a mhealladh agus ar deireadh thiar thall cabhrú leis na poist atá uainn a chruthú." Déanfaidh na hionaid nua eolaithe agus innealtóirí a nascadh i gcomhpháirtíochtaí sa saol acadúil agus sa saol tionsclaíochta chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar cheisteanna fíorthábhachtacha taighde, agus chun forbairt cuideachtaí teicneolaíochta atá bunaithe in Éirinn, idir chuideachtaí nua agus chuideachtaí atá ann cheana féin, a chothú. Is í an aidhm freisin tionsclaíocht a mhealladh a d'fhéadfadh cúnamh tábhachtach a thabhairt d'Éirinn agus do gheilleagar na hÉireann, agus níos mó deiseanna oideachais agus gairme san eolaíocht agus san innealtóireacht a chur ar fáil in Éirinn. "Tá teorainneacha na heolaíochta agus na fionnachtana á leathnú againn in OÉ Gaillimh. Cibé acu an bhfuil neamhspleáchas fuinnimh na hÉireann á bhaint amach trí athnuaiteáin mhara nó tríd an Gréasán Domhanda a athrú ó bhonn, déanann ár dtaighde ár saol sa todhchaí a mhúnlú agus imríonn sé tionchar air. Tá acmhainneacht mhór chun poist a chruthú agus ardacmhainneacht fáis inár gcuid taighde, a dhéantar i gcomhar lenár gcomhoibrithe agus lenár bpáirtithe tionsclaíochta", a dúirt an tOllamh Lokesh Joshi, Leas-Uachtarán don Taighde in OÉ Gaillimh. -CRÍOCH-

Banbridge Academy Win Debating Science Issues Competition
Tuesday, 26 February 2013
Secondary schools students from across Ireland participated in the sixth All-Ireland Final of the Debating Science Issues (DSI) competition on Friday, 22 February, in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Dublin. After closely contested debates, Banbridge Academy, Co. Down came out victorious to become the 2013 Debating Science Issues winners, with Pobal Scoil Gaoth Dobhair, Co. Donegal awarded second place. Other finalists included Sacred Heart Secondary School, Clonakilty, Co. Cork and St. Andrew's College, Blackrock, Co. Dublin. DSI is a dynamic debating competition inviting young people to engage in debate on the cultural, societal and ethical implications of advances in biomedical science. Open to students in the senior cycle of secondary school, the competition provides a great opportunity for students to expand their communication and scientific skills. Funded by Discover Science and Engineering, Abbott Ireland, Boston Scientific and Pfizer, this All-Ireland project is coordinated by the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI) at NUI Galway in conjunction with eight science research and discovery centres throughout Ireland - Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre, UCC; Biomedical Diagnostics Institute, DCU; CRANN in Trinity College Dublin; Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), W5 in Belfast, Clarity at UCD, Cork Institute of Technology and the Centre for Cross Border Studies. Danielle Nicholson, DSI Coordinator and Outreach Officer with REMEDI at NUI Galway, said: "DSI provides young people with an insight into science as an institution and the processes by which scientific knowledge is produced. Incorporating the values and limits in science as well as its tactics for decision-making, DSI employs a discussion-based teaching model. The pre-competition workshops involve both science and non-science students. It is important that students do not judge their understanding of scientific knowledge to be insufficient to allow them to engage with socio-scientific issues of concern. Argumentation is one of the cornerstones of the scientific process. DSI increases student engagement with science content and promotes reasoning and justification skills that help prepare an informed citizenry." Judges for the DSI Final included: Terry McWade, Deputy CEO of RCSI; Louise Mylotte, Lecturer at St. Angela's College, Sligo; Katharine Jensen, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager Abbott Ireland; Oonagh Ward, Programme Manager at Health Research Board; Eimear Holohan and Dara Dunican, both Scientific Programme Managers at Science Foundation Ireland; Maria Daly, Science Calling; Joan Flanagan, Education Liaison at European Commission Representation in Ireland; and Hannah McGee, Dean of Faculty of Medicine RCSI. Full information on the DSI competition is available at www.debatingscienceissues.com. -ENDS-

NUI Galway Students Win Prestigious National Logistics and Transport Awards
Tuesday, 26 February 2013
NUI Galway's Commerce students scooped first, second and joint third prize in the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport Ireland 'Student Idea of the Year' Awards at a special ceremony in Dublin recently. The awards are presented to the originators of the most innovative ideas which could make the most significant contribution to some aspect of the logistics industry in Ireland. NUI Galway student Seán Ó Muircheartaigh from Rahoon, Galway City, was announced winner with his project 'Easy Smart Travel Ireland'. Seán wrote a paper which focused on the feasibility and the design of a system which integrated public transport services using seamless smart mobile ticketing technologies. Second place was awarded to NUI Galway student Alex Hannon-Cross from Barna, Co. Galway. His project, 'An Intelligent Public Transport System', aimed to assess the viability of big data application orientated solutions for the public transport system, with the purpose of increasing efficiency and maximising resource usage. Third place was presented to NUI Galway international student, Kerry Creehan from Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, USA. Her project 'Exploring Out of Bounds' designed a mobile application which uses offline capabilities for navigation and points of interest. The prototypes uses technology efficiently employing vector based maps rather than raster so that data is not stored as pixels. Mary Dempsey, College of Engineering and Informatics, NUI Galway said: "The positive indicators of economic growth are fuelled by the knowledge economy. I believe our graduates are well positioned to aid in the continued recovery of our country. Our students have an important role to play in creating the technologies of the future and engineering a path to a better future for all citizens. NUI Galway has established a learning platform for student innovations to be nurtured. I am encouraged that professionals in the industry who judge this national competition continue to reward our students for their innovations." -ENDS-

Public invited to a keynote lecture by Dr Kevin McNamara, former Labour Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland NUI Galway's Moore Institute will host a two-day international conference on 8-9 March on the theme of 'The British Labour Party and Twentieth-Century Ireland'. The conference will take place in the Moore Institute at the University, with the keynote address scheduled for the Harbour Hotel, Galway, on Friday, 8 March at 6.30pm. Keynote speaker for the event is Dr Kevin McNamara, Labour Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 1987-1994. He will deliver an address entitled, 'The Cause of Labour is the Cause of Ireland, the Cause of Ireland is the Cause of Labour'. Dr McNamara, who was succeeded by Dr Mo Mowlam as Labour spokesperson on Northern Ireland under Tony Blair's first government, is a seasoned commentator on Anglo-Irish affairs. He has researched and written on the MacBride Principles and is an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Irish Studies at Liverpool University. The aim of the conference is to explore the relationship between the British Labour Party and Ireland over the course of the last century. At its foundation in 1900, the Labour Party was broadly supportive of Irish nationalist demands for self-determination in the form of 'home rule'. Yet Labour's responses to the Irish question would become more complicated over successive decades, particularly after the first Labour government came to power in Britain in 1924. Dr Laurence Marley, conference convenor and historian at NUI Galway, said: "The theme of the event provides an opportunity to examine a largely neglected aspect of Anglo-Irish relations in the twentieth century. By drawing on the expertise of a broad range of scholars from Ireland and Britain, the conference will bring a fresh perspective to the historical and commemorative focus on relations in 'these islands' and at a cross-border and regional level." The conference is free and open to the public, and the keynote event, chaired by Professor Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh, Emeritus Professor at NUI Galway, will feature a questions and answers session. 'The British Labour Party and Twentieth-Century Ireland' is supported by the Community Knowledge Initiative, NUI Galway, and by the Department of Foreign Affairs Reconciliation Fund. -ENDS-

New Child and Family Support Agency Must Be More Than A Logo Switch
Wednesday, 27 February 2013
A symposium entitled 'Embedding a Children's Rights Approach into the new Child and Family Support Agency' is being held today (27 February 2013) in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin. The establishment of a Child and Family Support Agency is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionise the delivery of child protection, family support and other children's services. This is a radical and important change, involving far more than simply switching logos at the top of payslips and headed paper. The design of the new agency will have a profound impact on services delivered to children and families for decades to come and will be one of the biggest tasks of the current government. Tanya Ward, Chief Executive of the Children's Rights Alliance, said:"Today is about kick-starting discussion on the new agency. There is no doubt that the agency has the potential to be a powerful vehicle for reform. There must be a transparent approach from the outset to ensure future accountability and buy-in from all stakeholders, including children and families themselves. Key to this is a commitment from Government to consult comprehensively on the draft legislation establishing the new agency. We have just passed a referendum on children but it will be an empty referendum if the new agency is not properly resourced to protect children and support families. A child-centred approach must be the starting point for the agency. This means treating all children equally, making decisions in their best interests and taking account of their views when making decisions about them." "The potential for the Child and Family Support Agency's success is indisputable, helping to draw a line under past failings such as those so tragically outlined in the 2012 Report of the Independent Child Death Review Group. It is also vital that the agency starts life without the burden of the existing HSE budgetary deficit, and that it is given adequate resources to fulfil its statutory duties to children." Professor Pat Dolan, Director of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway, said: "The failings of the child protection and welfare system in the past have consistently focused on a lack of collaboration between professionals in the interests of children and children's voices not being heard. People are tired of hearing about the failings of the system. In the future we should be hearing about its success. A system whereby workers at the frontline commit to upholding children's rights, through the introduction of a children's rights charter to be adhered to in practice, coupled with all children's services coming under the umbrella of one transparent and accountable agency, will be the true test of positive change." Noel Kelly, Chair of the Prevention and Early Intervention Network, said: "The Prevention and Early Intervention Network (PEIN) welcomes the establishment of the Child and Family Support Agency. This is an agency for all the children of Ireland and universalism must be its hallmark. Ensuring a prevention and early intervention approach within the design of the new agency will generate benefits for all children and families as well as reducing the numbers of families requiring intensive or specialist interventions. The new Prevention and Early Intervention Network website www.preventioninpractice.ie is also being launched today. It showcases the network's research, service and advocacy work, as well as being a valuable source of information about prevention and early intervention in Ireland." This symposium, which has been heavily over-subscribed, is the first opportunity to publicly discuss the new agency. It is jointly organised by the Children's Rights Alliance, the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway and the Prevention and Early Intervention Network. Speakers and Chairs include: Paul Gilligan, Chair of the Children's Rights Alliance Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Frances Fitzgerald TD Gordon Jeyes, CEO Designate, Child and Family Support Agency Young People from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs' Voice of Children in Care Implementation Group Dr. Geoffrey Shannon, Child Law Expert Professor Pat Dolan, Director of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway Jim Breslin, Secretary General, Department of Children and Youth Affairs Jennifer Gargan, Director, Empowering People in Care (EPIC) Catherine Ghent, Gallagher Shatter Solicitors Toby Wolfe, Start Strong and Prevention and Early Intervention Network Today's event aims to explore how children's rights, including a prevention and early intervention approach, must be translated into the structures, governance, design and service delivery of the agency.

Interest Grows in New Hip Implant Technology from NUI Galway
Friday, 4 January 2013
A new type of orthopaedic implant developed at NUI Galway, which could improve the lifespan of hip and knee replacements, is generating growing interest from the biomedical industry. OsteoAnchor aims to overcome a problem of implants coming loose over time by using a revolutionary surface of hundreds of tiny gripping claws. The implant is designed to not only grip bone securely, but also to encourage new hard bone tissue to grow into the implant, though a specially engineered lattice of tiny struts and pores. Successful pre-clinical study A recent successful pre-clinical study of an OsteoAnchor hip replacement showed the technology immediately grips the bone effectively, leading to a quicker recovery after surgery. No other surface coating on the market provides such a secure initial fixation with such potential for quicker recovery after surgery. In addition, the hip replacement remained very secure over time due to extensive growth of the bone into the implant. The team is now moving towards clinical trials, with plans for a first-in-man trial in 2014. $8.7 billion market With the combined US and European markets for hip and knee replacements estimated to be worth $8.7 billion, the team behind OsteoAnchor will initially target a particular segment - the revision hip market - which is estimated at $800 million. "We are keen to engage with potential investors and business partners interested in commercialising this high potential technology", explains Dr Pat Mc Donnell who has been developing OsteoAnchor over the last four years with Dr Noel Harrison, of the Biomechanics Research Centre at NUI Galway's National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science. As people are living longer and undergoing hip implants later in life, the potential for reduced recovery times associated with OsteoAnchor is a key attraction. "We have put together a team of orthopaedic surgeons to work with us to design a hip implant with OsteoAnchor," adds Dr Mc Donnell. "They will participate in the clinical testing of the implant, providing the initial path to market. The initial target application is for patients having their second or third hip replacement in the same leg - that is one of the most challenging kinds of orthopaedic surgery, and it's where OsteoAnchor can make a huge impact. In the future we hope to have OsteoAnchor knee and shoulder implants, but for now we are concentrating on hips." 3D printing OsteoAnchor is made from a standard titanium alloy using a process similar to 3D printing. A preclinical study showed the technology immediately grips the bone effectively, that recovery after surgery is quicker and the hip replacements remain secure due to extensive bone in growth. The product is also cheaper to manufacture due to one step manufacturing process, where the surface architecture is integral to the implant core. The commercialisation project was funded by Enterprise Ireland and showcased at Enterprise Ireland's Big Ideas event at the Aviva in November. NUI Galway has a strong reputation for technology transfer, in recent years spinning out 25 High Potential Start Ups, 76 license agreements and over 100 patent applications, providing a significant basis for job retention and creation in Ireland.

Water resources
An important fraction of the burden of water-related diseases (in particular: water-related vector-borne diseases) is attributable to the way water resources are developed and managed. In many parts of the world the adverse health impacts of water pollution, dam construction, irrigation development and flood control cause significant preventable disease.
WHO's Water, Sanitation and Health Programme focuses on:
- Water resource quality
- Health impact assessment
- Intersectoral collaboration
- Environmental management
It also explores options to integrate health risk assessment and management into strategies and programmes for nature conservation, in particular of wetlands, and for the promotion of biological diversity.

The recent unveiling of iOS 8 and Mac OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' got some Apples users excited, though some may wonder if their hardware may still support. Luckily, Apple has mentioned compatibility options for its new operating systems and added more information about it. Let's do a recap. iOS 8 will officially be supported on the following devices:
– iPhone 4S
– iPhone 5
– iPhone 5C
– iPhone 5S
– iPod touch 5th generation
– iPad 2
– iPad with Retina Display (includes iPad 3)
– iPad Air
– iPad mini
– iPad mini with Retina display
This means that Apple will be ending support for the A4 chip, meaning the iPhone 4, which was launched 4 years ago, will finally be retired. The iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the first generation iPad mini all run on the same A5 chip and will still be supported, though we don't know yet how the update will run on older hardware – much like when iOS 7 was released on the iPhone 4 last year. For Mac OS X Yosemite, Apple has announced compatibility with the following hardware:
– MacBook Pro: mid-2007 or newer
– MacBook Air: late 2008 or newer
– iMac: mid-2007 or newer
– Mac mini: early 2009 or newer
– Mac Pro: early 2008 or newer
– MacBook: late 2008 aluminum, early 2009 or newer
– Xserve: early 2009
That means that hardware that was released even 7 years back, and all hardware that can run OS X Mavericks will still be able to run Yosemite.

Graphics Cards, Reviews 4
Sapphire HD 6870 Overview
Just by looking at the HD 6870 you can tell it is a value card by its size. The card is a little under 7-inches long and Sapphire has gone with a blue PCB. You will notice there are no external power connectors on the card, this is because it requires no extra power than what is supplied via the PCI-E connection. This is great for the mainstream crowd who just wants to pop this card in their system and be done.
As with most Sapphire cards this card deviates from the reference card just a little bit. Sapphire has outfitted the card with an Arctic Cooling GPU cooling solution. With such a low-budget card you probably do not need a cooling solution like this, but it will keep things nice and cool and run much quieter than the reference cooling solution. The heatsink is all aluminum and uses a fan on top to keep things nice and cool.
With most entry-level cards they are normally single slot cards, but this is a dual slot card because of the custom cooling solution. As far as connections goes you have HDMI, VGA and DVI. I really like that HDMI is included on this card, it makes it perfect for a media center PC.

I'm transferring datagrams from one point to another by using Boost ASIO with UDP.
- My sender sends a datagram every 500 milliseconds
- My receiver listens for incoming data and then works with it. The receiver uses async_receive_from to receive data
In certain cases it could be possible that the receiver needs more than 500 milliseconds to work with the data. The sender does not stop sending data.
Current Behaviour:
The sent datagrams are queued in the operating systems network queue. When I perform a
async_receive_from, I get the next UDP datagrams to work with.
Wanted Behaviour:
The sent datagrams are queued in the operating systems network queue. When I perform a receive, I get all the datagrams. The queue is empty then. I do not know how many datagrams are in the queue, neither do I know the size of them.
Is it possible to achieve something like this preferably with Boost::ASIO and
async_receive_from? If not: Are there other libraries which could do something like this?
If another solution is provided: I'm working on Linux and Windows, would be cool if your solution is portable.

Mailbag: Jayhawks seeking early upset
Andrew Skwara
Rivals.com College Basketball
Florida versus Kansas was the game fans wanted to discuss most in the preseason. Even after the Jayhawks' shocking loss to Oral Roberts last week, that hasn't changed.
Now many are wondering if the matchup between the top-ranked Gators and No. 10 Jayhawks in Las Vegas on Saturday night (10:30 p.m. Eastern tipoff) can live up to all the hype.
Can Kansas keep it close? How are they going to slow down the Gators' imposing front court if they can't stop ORU?
We tackle those questions, along with others about Pitt's status as a top-five team, the lack of playing time for Duke freshman Gerald Henderson, and more in the latest mailbag.
That said, Kansas has a much smaller margin of error and must play extremely well to win.
The veteran-laden Gators are more balanced, possess a big size advantage and play with better chemistry and execution.
The Jayhawks are still a young team that's learning how to stay focused (see their 78-71 loss to Oral Roberts last week). Plus, they have more weaknesses - like the lack of a solid scorer in the paint.
However, the Jayhawks do have a clear edge in the backcourt. If their guards can get hot from the outside and take control of the game, the score will be close in the final minutes. Throw in a big performance from freshman power forward Darrell Arthur - who has the combination of athleticism, size and skills to give the Florida big men some problems - and KU will have enough to pull off the upset.
Their tremendous depth simply was too much to overcome. Nobody scored more than 14 points, but four players finished in double figures (nine players have scored in double figures in at least one game already). Their bench combined for 24 points.
Few opponents can match up with Gray. Even fewer teams have as much balance and depth. At this point, I think the Panthers are the best team in the Big East and a legit Final Four threat.
The Panthers do have one big lingering question to answer: Who is their go-to guy? It's the one major void created by the departure of Carl Krauser. The gritty guard took plenty of ill-advised shots, but he also made a good share of clutch baskets.
You can make a case that Gray could take over that role. However, offense isn't his strength and it's a lot easier to double-team in the post than on the perimeter.
Too much balance can also be a problem. Eventually a guard, maybe Mike Cook or Ronald Ramon, must show they want the ball in their hands late in a tight game. Someone needs to emerge as a leader for the Panthers to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
The emergence of DeMarcus Nelson is the major reason for Henderson's lack of production. Nelson, a junior small forward, plays the same position as Henderson and he's starting to show why he too was a McDonald's All-American.
Finally healthy after suffering a series of injuries his first two seasons, the versatile veteran has become Duke's biggest offensive weapon. Nelson is averaging a team-high 14.8 points a game.
But it's Nelson's defensive abilities that really separate him from Henderson, who has played just 14 minutes in the last two games. Man-to-man defense is heavily valued at Duke. Nelson is a terrific one-on-one defender who can guard several different positions.
Henderson will eventually start playing more, but probably at the two-guard spot - where he'll split time with freshman Jon Scheyer. I still think Henderson will start contributing and provide an offensive spark by the time ACC play starts. The Blue Devils will need contributions from Henderson and others if they're going to make their 10th consecutive trip to the Sweet 16.
Marquette is exactly the type of team that can and will give Duke problems. The Golden Eagles have great speed and quickness in the backcourt. The Blue Devils lack good ballhandlers. Point guard Greg Paulus is above average at best and he looked overmatched against Dominic James.
Marquette does lack a post presence, but the Blue Devils couldn't really take advantage because they lack a physical force on the inside. Coach Mike Krzyzewski's club is only an average rebounding team.

Syfy has given a second season to "The Expanse" and is increasing the episode order from 10 to 13 for the futuristic mystery's sophomore turn, Variety has learned.
The Alcon Television Group series gained traction from an online debut in November that brought in 4.5 million viewers before its official premiere on Dec. 14 on Syfy. The first three episodes that have aired on Syfy have brought in an average 1.6 million P2+ linear viewers (L3).
"'The Expanse' is firing on all cylinders creatively, building a passionate fan base among viewers and critics alike, and delivering on Syfy's promise of smart, provocative science fiction entertainment. We can't wait to see where the story takes us in season two," said Dave Howe, president of Syfy and Chiller.
Set 200 years in the future, "The Expanse" stars Thomas Jane and Steven Strait as a hardened detective and a rogue ship captain whose unlikely alliance may »

From comic-book adaptations to sci-fi, fantasy and horror. Here are the new geek-skewed shows coming to Us TV in 2016...
The world of TV has never been so crowded and, at the same time, geeks have never had it so good. As saturated as the big screen is with superhero films and sprawling shared universes, that mentality has well and truly bled onto the small screen too.
So there's a lot of comic-book adaptations coming up in 2016 from Marvel, DC and others, but genre TV is represented across the board with science-fiction, fantasy and horror represented at pretty much every network and cable channel in the Us.
Here's some of the geek TV that will be making its way to us from the Us next year.

Last summer at San Diego Comic Con, we got to sit on the bridge of the Enterprise and learn a little bit about the concept for the Hollywood Science Fiction Museum. Just in the beginning stages, it sounded pretty cool, but when we caught up with the Huston Huddleston the museum's founder at WonderCon to talk about the progress we were blown away.
Set to open later this year at an existing Los Angeles museum, the Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum has plans to open its own location eventually. This location will feature a space ship restaurant, as well as a museum that will house a hall of cars, a hall of space ships, a hall of robots, and a ginormous store where you can buy everything from Harry Potter wands to Sonic Screwdrivers. It will also have sections for all the movies and shows in the genre. And there will »

Wrapping up its most watched season in seven years, The CW Network presented its 2015-16 broadcast schedule today to advertisers, affiliates and national media at New York City Center in New York City. The indie-pop band Of Monsters and Men kicked off the presentation with a live performance of their latest single "Crystals," and their international hit song "Little Talks." Here's what CW's Mark Pedowitz had to say in a statement.
"This has been a terrific season for The CW, and is a result of a strategy we set in motion a few years ago to broaden out and grow our audience. We had our most watched season, and our highest-rated season among men, in seven years. We launched The CW's most watched series ever with The Flash, and with The Flash and Jane the Virgin, we received more critical acclaim than ever before. The CW is heading into »

The CW jumped into the fall 2015-16 fray on Thursday, ordering three pilots to series including Arrow/Flash spinoff DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
The network also handed series orders to recent Showtime casualty Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Julie Plec's outbreak thriller Cordon.

The CW officially ordered three new dramas on Thursday afternoon, but the big news is the pick-up we all already new was coming. The "Flash"/"Arrow" spinoff has officially been ordered to series and after having been called various permutations on "untitled," it finally has a title: Say hello to "DC's Legends of Tomorrow." I'll remind you of the details on "Legends of Tomorrow" in a minute, but The CW also ordered "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and "Cordon" to series. Since The CW already has 10+ returning shows on tap for the 2015-2016 season, the network isn't announcing schedule timetables or episode counts yet. We'll see if that news comes at The CW's upfront presentation to advertisers next Thursday. Let's get details: "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" focuses on time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter, who has to recruit a rag-tag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, »

The Mikaelsons' Aunt Dahlia is coming to The Originals, and now we finally know who will be playing her on The CW vampire drama. As first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Farscape's Claudia Black has been cast in the role of the mysterious and incredibly dangerous witch, who is also the maternal aunt of the Mikaelson siblings. As we learned this season on The Originals, Dahlia helped her younger sister, Esther (the mother of Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Finn, and Freya), with a fertility spell. However, the spell came with a price, as Dahlia wanted the first-born of every generation, taking Esther's oldest daughter, Freya (played by Riley Voelkel), as payment at the time. When the Mikaelson children were all turned into vampires (who typically cannot reproduce), it was believed by Esther that Dahlia would have no reason to go after her family again, but when Klaus and Hayley had a child of… »

Word Clouds offer a decent starting point for textual analysis and, well, when you are dealing with day long events they are also the easiest way to navigate exactly what was and wasn't talked about. Just a note on how this works for those unfamiliar: a word cloud image basically displays words appearing in a text (in this case the 200 plus page transcript from the Hagel hearing) in varying sizes based on their frequency. To make this helpful, I removed some words from the transcript to put more focus on topics of conversation instead of the interlocutors themselves. This means I removed the names of the Senators because that would distort the display and some common words that don't lend much for analysis like "OK," "also," "Mr.," "like," etc. I think you get the idea. Here is the image below:
It's clear that "Israel" stole the show. "Iran," which was nearly as prevalent as "Israel," was discussed as an issue intertwined with Israel and contextualized through the prism of Israeli interests.
Now, let's play a game. See if you can find the following words in the cloud.
Afghanistan: Those living in the U.S. who follow mainstream media coverage may be unaware but this is a country in central Asia where the United States has been militarily involved longer than any other military campaign in its history; it also currently has about 70,000 troops troops there. There have been over 3,000 coalition deaths in Afghanistan, over 2,000 of which were American troops. Countless civilians have been killed or wounded during the fighting.
China: Close to a billion and a half people live in this communist nation that also has several hundred nuclear weapons, borders several significant regional players (some of which it has had increasing tense relations with) and is the U.S.'s largest overseas trading partner.
Drones: Perhaps the most controversial of President Obama's national security policies has been the dramatic escalation in the use of unmanned drones to kill adversaries (including American citizens) and very often civilians.
Pakistan: This country borders Afghanistan, is an unstable nuclear power, and has been the target of hundreds of American drone strikes leaving thousands dead, hundreds of which were civilians, including many children.
Guantanamo: The location of a controversial American prison camp which the President first promised to close before later back-tracking.
International Law: That set of rules and norms agreed upon by states that help govern inter-state relations and, perhaps most importantly, determine what is legal and illegal during war.
(Answer key: Afghanistan: Start at "Israel," go up until you see "department" and look left. China- I haven't found it yet, good for you if you do. It was only mentioned a handful of times, including once by Neo-Mcarthyite Senator Cruz who sought to associated Hagel with Chas Freeman through an alleged trip to China that never happened. Drones: If you haven't found it, it's because it isn't there. It wasn't mentioned. Pakistan: Start at "Israel," go left until you see "Congress," then go down until you see "friends." Below that, in smaller print, is Pakistan. Guantanamo: If you haven't found it, it's because it isn't there. It wasn't mentioned. International Law: It was uttered a grand total of one time, so get your microscope out, if you find it let me know, plenty of us are hoping to understand where and why its gone missing.)
For some added perspective, here is a word cloud of Defense Secretary Robert Gates' confirmation hearing in 2006. Clearly, they were more focused on Iraq then than they are on Afghanistan now.

My name is Ariel Owens, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be serving as the Director of Public Affairs for the 2015-2016 academic year! I am an English major with a Women's and Gender studies minor. Upon graduation, I plan to secure a position as a Graduate Residence Hall Director while working towards my Master's degree in Education. I am an aspiring English teacher who is ultimately striving to serve in an administrative role within the education system.
The opportunities that NIU has provided me with are ones that have exceeded all of my expectations. I have served in leadership roles, or been a member, in the following departments and organizations: Housing and Dining, The Northern Star, National Association of Black Journalists, NIU Educator's Club, United by Diversity, and First-Year Composition. All of the above experiences have taught me something unique about myself and others as well as prepared me for my role as the Director of Public Affairs.
Some highlights from my time here at NIU include mentoring freshmen students as a Community Advisor, being awarded "Public Relations Officer of the Year," and being awarded "Strategy of the Year" for coordinating and hosting "Survivors Find Freedom", an event that raised awareness for victim-survivors of sexual assault.
I take great pride in my personal brand; diversity and advocacy are defining pillars of my beliefs. The SA's agenda resembles many of my own personal philosophies which will make my role to maintain the SA's image incredibly enjoyable. Aside from publicity, I look forward to being a part of efforts to sustain the national "It's On Us" campaign against sexual assault on our campus.
While nothing worthwhile is ever easy, I could not be more excited to serve as the Director of Public Affairs during my final academic year at NIU. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance to you. As always, Huskies are stronger together.

I am the biggest skeptic on earth, and I happened to run across this at Albertsons(a texas grocery store), and I have to say I am amazed. I was a big-time overplucker back when the very thin brow was huge. This has worked wonders on my brows which is great, but the difference in my lashes is really great! They are thicker, longer and look nice even without mascara--truly something I have never experienced. I will repurchase for sure. Thanks to the MUA'ers before me for the recommendation.

I can't rave about this stuff enough. I started off by using Talika Lipocils and of course couldn't afford $38 when it ran out so I asked in the m/u board and ended up buying this for $4 at Rite-Aide. I'm so glad I did because my lashes look amazing. I'm buying my mother one this week ;) There are pics of my lashes in my profile (w/ Hypnose mascara too). Note that I didn't really notice a difference for about a month, and I only use it at bedtime. Try it!

Amazing stuff. I finally tracked this down at my local Wholesale Beauty Supply (I don't have a CVS or Rite Aid nearby, and Walgreens doesn't carry it). After a year of faithfully using Full and Soft waterproof mascara, my lashes were really brittle and sparse. I used to have bambi lashes so this was more than a little upsetting (in retrospect, why the hell did I stick with that damn mascara for so long?!?!). I also have a tendency to overpluck so my eyebrows were a little thin on the ends. I was not expecting miracles, but after only two weeks of nightly use, my lashes are crazy! They are definitely longer, but also much thicker, and new ones are coming in quickly. I just need a sweep of Cover Girl Super Thick Lash (new HG) and it looks like I'm wearing falsies. My brows are doing great as well. I still have to fill them a bit, but I'm happy with the results so far. I'm going back to WBS and cleaning out their stock of this wonder product. continued >>

With regular use [every night before bed] for a couple of months, my lashes are definetly longer. I love this stuff.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
Ok it works! Where I noticed the improvement most was in the THICKNESS/AMMOUNT of my lashes, not so much in the length. After a month, I think it has added a bit of length, but the HUGE difference is how many NEW lashes have grown in! TONS! Before I had like 5 lashes on my bottom lashline, now my bottom lashline looks like my top used to (decent) and my top lashes look so plentiful! I can definitely see the difference in my lashes when I put mascara on and when I take closeup eye photos.... ya know how sometimes you have 'good lash days' and they curl really well, and mascara goes on evenly and they look great? I have so many of those now thanks to this stuff! I guess proof that it does make them grow is that I have ONE random bottom lash that is seriously touching the top of my cheekbone, and for me this is CRAZY because I have blah short sparse lashes.
Here is how I used it, in case you're interested:
I bought it on Ebay for $7 shipped (not too bad). It has the same wand as a typical mascara. I put a TON on clean eyes at bedtime every night, tops and bottoms, the same way I would apply normal mascara. Sometimes for extra, or if I was feeling lazy, I would rub off the wand onto my finger, and just smear my finger over my closed lid. This works too. I'd say it took about 2 weeks to SEE results.
If you get a bit rubbed in your eye, it doesnt hurt and is fine. BUT if you get a GLOB in your eye, which I did once while rubbing it on with my finger, you will feel like youre going to go blind. It STINGS and you cant open your eye until you wash it out with water.
I've used this LIBERALLY every night for a month, and my tube is clearly half gone. I will repurchase!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
After months of debating and searching, I finally ordered a couple tubes off drugstore.com. I've only been using it for one week, but I can see a difference! I use it as a mascara primer and a night treatment. My lashes look so long with mascara on that I find myself applying fewer coats because I simply don't need to pile on mascara anymore. It's hard for me to decide if my eyelashes look longer with no mascara on, but I wear mascara daily and my eyelashes have never looked more amazing. I'm addicted to this stuff!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
One word: Superb!! This product is amazing, it really works on my eyelashes it is truly worth trying! It has worked for me I am so absolutely impressed!!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
This did make my lashes and brows feel better conditioned. But as for noticeably lengthening the lashes? ....not so much. My tube started developing an odor and a sludgy appearance after about two weeks. This seems to be a not uncommon problem based on previous reviews. I don't know if it's still safe to use on my eyes, but I would rather not take the chance.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Other
For reference I'm reviewing after using this item for 1 & half months on brows, every night.
No mistakes here: it says "Brow & Lash Growth Accelarator"; this being said, you won't see hair growing in places it never existed or from where it has disappeared!
But as far as accelarating my brow hair growth i have to say yes, noticeably! I'm guessing the growth rythm may have been the double during this period, not bad!
But the downside is that only after a week the texture went yuck and thick and i don't like the scent either, like salty medicine.
Will re-purchase and keep using.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love this as a lash/brow conditioner... I don't think it makes anything grow but it sure as heck keeps things from breaking as much as they would without it. This in conjunction with using EVOO as a makeup remover has my lashes looking better than they EVER have. Watch out for this turning bad quickly, unfortunately. It is also kind of hard to find, only one Rite-aid in my city has it, apparently.

I'm not sure that Adama letting it all go by the board and not pursuing Helo is quite in character. It smacks of just ending it all very neatly, frankly.
I don't feel terribly satisfied by the last couple of episodes... but how the hell could they follow up on the first four? Those were among the best I've seen.
A couple of things bother me about Bulldog. Why keep him alive all this time? Why keep him a prisoner? Just to let him go now? Hmmm. And how did he find the Galactica? The Cylons, if they know where the Galactica is, could just jump in with a bunch of base stars and get the job done.
But have we got a clue as to why the Cylons "don't talk about" the first five models anymore? During Three's between-life experience, she goes to that big chamber and sees five white hooded figures, and clearly discovers something that gives her a lot to think about... very nicely laid out for future development.
I didn't know they ever reached Earth in TOS. Interesting.
