...familiar refrain across Ireland. After more than a decade of runaway growth, the good times have ended. In September the Celtic Tiger, the best performing economy in the euro zone by some stretch in recent years, became the bloc's first to officially slide into recession. After expanding at three times the E.U. average between 1996 and 2007, Ireland's economy is expected to shrink by 0.75% next year, according to government predictions...
...nothing game, Hagner controlled the offensive attack from her forward position.

The Quakers’ top returner, defensive back Chris Wynn, averages about 20 punt return yards per game and 50 kick return yards per game, and Penn...
