Sarsfields chasing immortality

Saturday, February 09, 2013

AIB ALL-IRELAND CLUB SHC SEMI-FINAL Thurles Sarsfields (Tipperary) v Kilcormac-Killoughney (Offaly) EVERY club has a driving force in its past. Not too many can count including the man who gave his name to the most famous hurling pitch in the country, though.

By Michael Moynihan

Tom Semple was a great leader, says Liam ODonoghue. He was a great hurler but he was also a leader off the field. He saw that there was a showgrounds in the town which had gone bust, so he led the group which bought it and it eventually became Semple Stadium.

That wasnt the end of his involvement in local matters. He took an active role in the War of Independence as well, but he deserves huge gratitude from the GAA for being the driving force behind the acquisition of whats now Semple Stadium.

ODonoghue is one of the men in Thurles Sarsfields who are putting together the history of the club. Theyre not short of material. Ten times club members have led Tipperary to All-Ireland success, for instance; more than any other club in the county.

They can also point to some dazzling names who have worn the Sarsfields blue and white: Mickey The Rattler Byrne, the great defender who told Christy Ring, well have to shoot you (Youve tried everything else, was Rings answer); Tony Wall, the cornerstone of the greatest Tipperary team; and the great stylist, Jimmy Doyle.

No wonder they were so successful, though collecting 32 senior county titles means disappointing a lot of opponents, of course.

There would have been great rivalries over the years, with the likes of Moycarkey and Holycross, and Boherlahan going back a bit further, says ODonoghue.

Ito: Think twice about immortality and the singularity

Posted on by

The director of the MIT Media Lab said sci-fi visions of computers and humans emphasize the wrong priorities for development. Technological progress should aim for resilience, not efficiency.

MIT Media Lab director Joichi Ito speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

Ray Kurzweil's vision of the "singularity" -- when nanobots make humans immortal and computer progress is so fast that the future becomes profoundly unknowable -- is a bad idea.

That's the perhaps surprisingly contrary opinion of Joichi Ito, who as a high-tech investor and director of the MIT Media Lab might be expected to be a natural ally. The lab, after all, aims to be at the center of today's technology revolution.

Ito, speaking today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said he believes the singularity vision puts the wrong priorities first.

"I'm on the other side of the singularity guys. I don't think immortality is a good thing," Ito said. People who think about maximizing efficiency "don't think about the ecological, social-network effects. In the future, every science invention we do should be at least neutral," and preferably positive.

"When you introduce immortality, you have to think about what does it do to the system. At the Media Lab, our design principle is not to make the world more efficient, but making the system more resilient, more robust."

Ito called for a radically restructured educational system, too.

"You're training kids to become obedient members of a mass-production society," he said. "But as there's more and more automation, you want people to be more and more creative," like kindergarten when children spend more time playing around, exploring, and teaching each other.

Tests today judge kids in a computer-free testing environment completely unrelated to what's in the real world.

Guns, Debt, and Climate Change Give Obama Shot at Immortality

Posted on by

Gun violence, climate change, and $16 trillion in U.S. debt are major issues of life and death that give President Obama the opportunity to become a truly transformational president. Pity his legacy if Obama fails, or fails to try.

Today's headlines reflect the high risk and reward of striving: Vice President Joe Biden is meeting with the gun-rights lobby in the quest for a post-Newtown solution to American-on-American massacres; 2012 was the hottest year ever recorded in the contiguous United States; and dysfunctional Washington is no closer to a responsible budget deal that requires sacrifice from all voters, including the middle class.

These are the kind of problems that, when fixed, get presidential faces carved in granite. If he's willing to adjust his leadership habits (more on that later), Obama has a shot at immortality.

First, the political landscape is ripe for bold ideas and big change:The public is overwhelmingly discontented with the direction the country is headed, and is craving outside-the-box leadership. In times of tumult, voters are likely to forgive a president, if not reward him, for compromises made in service of solutions. And if Americans can ever again be summoned to a spirit of shared sacrifice, this would be that moment.

Second, polls show a majority of voters want Washington to address guns, debt, and the climate. True, there's no easy agreement on exactly how to solve the problems, but events of the past few weeks have at least galvanized the country behind the need for answers.

Finally, Obama has the post-partisan, pragmatic instincts (not to mention a sense of history) to pull it off. The fact that he didn't live up to his potential in a first term doesn't mean he won't in a second.

"He has a rare opportunity to make a real mark," said John Baick, professor of history at Western New England University in Springfield, Mass.

Gun control has been off-limits since the 1994 and 2000 elections, both Democratic defeats that were partly blamed on President Clinton's efforts to impose modest regulations on guns. Since then, Obama's party has grown less wary of gun control, as moderate Democrats from pro-gun states lost congressional sway. The wave of mass shootings, particularly the December slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., gives Obama the opportunity to test the public's appetite for gun legislation.

A USA Today/Gallup poll conducted after the Newtown shootings suggests that Americans overwhelmingly favor banning the sale of high-capacity ammunition clips and requiring background checks at guns shows. Most want laws governing the sale of guns to be more strict.

Banning semiautomatic guns known as assault rifles is favored by a minority of voters, just 44 percent, making it a test of Obama's ambition: The way to leave his mark on the guns issue is to support an assault-weapons ban and use the bully pulpit to shift polls in favor of it.

Immortality Status in Kids’ Mystery Novels – Video

Immortality Status in Kids #39; Mystery Novels
We see it in Nancy Drew and Scooby Doo, and pretty much every other kid-friendly crime fiction: the protagonists can do really stupid things without dying. Even Enid Blyton #39;s The Rat-a-Tat Mystery, which is a pretty good book, isn #39;t immune to this tendency.
