Jerry spoke to Sinn Féin justice spokesperson, Matt Carthy, about Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan not attending this year’s GRA conference in Killarney.

In this episode of Talking Calcio with Nick Frazier and Claudio Villalobos, the guys discussed Nashville SC's 7-2 win and the records made in matchday 10. Under BJ Callaghan, Nashville SC has had 6 goals come from defenders. What is it with Callaghan's system that has unlocked this secret cheat road in goal production from his back line? Later in the conversation, Nick and Claudio discussed the midfield pairings and how Eddi Tagseth and Patrick Yazbek's pairing is the top option for Nashville. Can Nashville continue its strong form in Atlanta this weekend? How did Jacob Shaffelburg look in his first start of the season?  It was also mentioned how, under the BJ Callaghan system, he has revitalized the way some Nashville SC players play in comparison to last season. Let's not forget Sam Surridge's historical performance in gold as he netted four goals, making him the 19th player in MLS history to accomplish this achievement. The guys wrapped up the episode, giving their score predictions and goal scorers for the weekend match.

Independent councillor for the Killarney Municipal District, Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan spoke to Jerry after he received many comments from listeners expressing frustration over traffic delays in Fossa. This is due to major roadworks taking place.

This session shares the Franklin (MA) School Committee Policy Subcmte meeting held on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. All 3 members participated, Chair O'Sullivan, members Callaghan, McNeill. Supt Giguere, Ops Director Boisvert, and Dr Rogers representing the Central Office.Quick recap:Supt Giguere sets the stage with some background on how this topic has developed during the redistricting efforts first updated in Dec 2024, then in Jan 2025 to act on the notification to Police, Fire, and DESE on the temporary naming of the new schools operating in the buildings that remained operational in the DistrictSome members of the community have misunderstood the delay in allowing the new middle school community to work to develop their identity “as the Schools doing away with Horace” which was not or ever the case, howeverMercer - Horace Mann is a central source of civic pride and if you wrap the district around H Mann then the community will come alongJ Johnston with the story of H Keller and some of the not so good aspects of her background; Remington was president of Thompson Press and a 20 year SchCmte Member along with other committees in service of the community, definitely worthy of remembering. H Mann you know, he was all for total equality and public education, he wanted teachers trained for their position and not just someone who could do itProposal for the 'campus' i.e. all of the complex including the High school to be designated as such to get ahead of the other conversations so that the Town business doesn't get distracted by this naming convention iitemSubcmte discussion on approval for the Central Office to move forward with the Horace Mann campus and potentially a committee to foster the honoring as it goes forward. So moved, passes 3-0 via roll callTransportation conundrum - previously a bus/busses included a stop on their routes to drop kiddos off at the Y, with the redistricting such could not easily be done; would likely require adding back a bus on a different slot and results in a cost estimated as low as 45K and as high as $85K. Discussion around options but none prevailed and the “conundrum” remainedGiven the timing (needing to close this session to get to the full committee meeting), the topic on a letter to support the alternative funding being discussed within the Legislature was mentioned briefly, Callaghan to add some stats from the Franklin TV deck presented earlier to the draft in hand and review further in another sessionMotion to adjourn, passes 3-0 The recording runs about 54 minutes, so let's listen in.--------------The meeting agenda can be found -> https://ma-franklin.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_04082025-1668 The Town Council memo as discussed -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CCDx8c4zn4ZVUr0EYQy1snpygRVLzxHO/view?usp=drive_link My full set of notes taken during the meeting can be found in one PDF ->https://drive.google.com/file/d/14gUGQ0N6s5bMiGwhbHegsRcxfkZUCirY/view?usp=drive_link -------------We are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm) or 102.9 on the Franklin area radio dial.

5 brothers are celebrating 50 years of trad music! Like many Clare musicians, the Grogans come from a musical background. Their grandfather Michael Grogan R.I.P. played the concertina, while their late grandfather Pat O' Loughlin from O' Callaghan's Mills was a traditional singer. They began their musical career under the guidance of All-Ireland traditional violinist Vincent Griffin from Feakle. The five brothers have their own Céilí band and have played at numerous venues around the country. The Grogan brothers joined Peter O'Connell in-studio. Photo(C): ClareFM

At the beginning of this episode and throughout, we establish the striking similarities between Ayahuasca experiences and Near Death Experiences in their effects at times and their lessons. Cailin describes her ongoing relationship with her spiritual guide Damon Michael and shares the lessons around remaining lucid in this dream of the world and how to navigate it through our focus and awareness of our thoughts. These will be familiar lessons to those who experience Ayahuasca and helpful to revisit as we integrate.

It should be labeled a "derby" by all definitions. The distance between the Music City and Queen City remains quite drivable. However, the average FC Cincinnati fan and average Nashville SC fan probably wouldn't admit that the other is a rival. There's still no solid point of contention between both squads. The trend in both squads to start the season may indicate a much closer rivalry in 2025. While the Orange & Blue have started lukewarm, the "Boys in Gold" to the south are on a hot streak. Before Saturday's matchup, we talk with Tim from the Club & Country podcast to see just how well new head coach B.J. Callaghan is cooking with his retooled roster.

Hello Interactors,It's March Madness time in the states — baskets and brackets. I admit I'd grown a bit skeptical of how basketball evolved since my playing days. As it happens, I played against Caitlin Clark's dad, from nearby Indianola, Iowa! Unlike the more dynamic Brent Clark, I was a small-town six-foot center, taught never to face the basket and dribble. After all, it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's era of back-to-the-hoop skyhooks. By college, however, I was playing pickup games in California, expected to handle the ball, shoot, dish, or drive. Just like Caitlin! The players around me were from East LA, not Indianola. Jordan was king, and basketball wasn't just evolving — it was about to explode. It's geographic expansion and spatial dynamism has influenced how the game is played and I now know why I can't get enough of it.BOARDS, BOUNDARIES, AND BREAKING FREEThere was one gym in my hometown, Norwalk, Iowa, where I could dunk a basketball. The court was so cramped, there was a wall right behind the backboard. It was padded to ease post layup collisions! But when I timed it right, I could run and jump off the wall launching myself into the air and just high enough to dunk. This old gym, a WPA project, was built in 1936 and was considered large at the time relative to population. It felt tiny by the time I played there during PE as a kid and on weekend pickup games as a teen — though it was still bigger than anything my parents experienced in rural Southern Iowa.Basketball began as a sport of spatial limitation. James Naismith invented the game in 1891 — 45 years prior to my dunk gym's grand opening. The game was invented to be played in a YMCA gym in Springfield, Massachusetts. This building dictated the court's dimensions, movement, and strategy. Naismith's original 13 rules emphasized order—no dribbling or running, only passing to move the ball. Early basketball wasn't about individual drives but about constant movement within a network of passing lanes, with players anticipating and reacting in real time.The original peach baskets were hung ten feet high on a balcony railing, with no backboards to guide shots. Misses bounced unpredictably, adding a vertical challenge and forcing players to think strategically about rebounding. Since the baskets had bottoms, play stopped after every score, giving teams time to reset and rethink.Soon the bottom of the basket was removed, and a backboard was introduced — originally intended to prevent interference from spectators batting opponents shots from the balcony. The backboard fundamentally altered the physics of play. Now a player could more predictably bank shots of the backboard and invent new rebounding strategies.When running while dribbling was introduced in the late 1890s, basketball's rigid spatial structure loosened. No longer confined to static passing formations, the game became a fluid system of movement. These innovations transformed the court into an interactive spatial environment, where angles, trajectories, and rebounds became key tactical elements. According to one theory of spatial reformulation through human behavior, structured spaces like basketball courts evolved not solely through top-down design, but through emergent patterns of use, where movement, interaction, and adaptation shape the space over time.By the 1920s, the court itself expanded—not so much in physical size but in meaning. The game had spread beyond enclosed gymnasiums to urban playgrounds, colleges, and professional teams. Each expansion further evolved basketball's spatial logic. Courts in New York's streetball culture fostered a tight and improvisational style. Players developed elite dribbling skills and isolation plays to navigate crowded urban courts. Meanwhile, Midwestern colleges, like Kansas where Naismith later coached, prioritized structured passing and zone defenses, reflecting the systemic, collective ethos of the game's inventor. This period reflects microcosms of larger social and spatial behaviors. Basketball, shaped by its environment and the players who occupied it, mirrored the broader urbanization process. This set the stage for basketball's transformation and expansion from national leagues to a truly global game.The evolution of basketball, like the natural, constructed, and cultural landscapes surrounding it, was not static. Basketball was manifested through and embedded in cultural geography, where places evolve over time, accumulating layers of meaning and adaptation. The basketball court was no exception. The game burst forth, breaking boundaries. It branched into local leagues, between bustling cities, across regions, and globetrotted around the world.TACTICS, TALENT, AND TRANSNATIONAL TIESThe year my ego-dunk gym was built, basketball debuted in the 1936 Olympics. That introduced the sport to the world. International play revealed contrasting styles, but it wasn't until the 1990s and 2000s that basketball became a truly global game — shaped as much by European and African players as by American traditions.Europe's game focused on tactical structures and spatial awareness. In the U.S., basketball was built within a high school and college system, but European basketball mimicked their club-based soccer academy model. It still does. In countries like Serbia, Spain, and Lithuania, players are taught the game from a tactical perspective first — learning how to read defenses, move without the ball, and make the extra pass. European training emphasizes court vision, spacing, and passing precision, fostering playmakers wise to the spatial dynamics of the game. Geography also plays a role in the development of European basketball. Countries like Serbia and Lithuania, which have a strong history of basketball but relatively smaller populations, could not rely on the sheer athletic depth of players like the U.S. Instead, they had to refine skill-based, systematic approaches to the game. This helped to ensure every player developed what is commonly called a “high basketball IQ”. They also exhibit a high level of adaptability to team-oriented strategies. European basketball exemplifies this, blending the legacy of former socialist sports systems — which prioritized collective success — with contemporary, globalized styles. This structured process explains why European players like Nikola Jokić, Luka Dončić, and Giannis Antetokounmpo often arrive in the NBA with an advanced understanding of spacing, passing, and team concepts. Jokić's story is particularly revealing. Growing up in Serbia, he didn't just play basketball — he played water polo, a sport that demands high-level spatial awareness and precision passing. In water polo, players must make quick decisions without being able to plant their feet or rely on sheer speed. Although, at seven feet tall, Jokić could probably sometimes touch the bottom of the pool! These skills translated perfectly to his basketball game, where his passing ability, patience, and ability to manipulate defenders make him one of the most unique playmakers in NBA history. Unlike the American model, where taller players are often pushed into narrowly defined roles as rebounders and rim protectors (like I was), European training systems emphasize all-around skill development regardless of height.This is why European big men like Jokić, Gasol, and Nowitzki excel both in the post and on the perimeter. Europe's emphasis on technical education and tactical intelligence fosters versatile skill sets before specialization. This adaptability has made fluid, multi-positional play the norm, prioritizing efficiency and team success over individual spectacle.If European basketball emphasizes structure, the African basketball pipeline fosters adaptability and resilience — not as inherent traits, but as responses to developmental conditions. Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu popularized this as habitus, where individuals unconsciously shape their skills based on their social and material environments. With limited formal infrastructure, many African players learn in fluid, improvised settings, refining their game through necessity rather than structured coaching.Unlike U.S. and European players, who train in specialized systems from an early age, African players often develop versatile, positionless skill sets. Their careers frequently involve migrating through different leagues and coaching styles. A great example is Joel Embiid. He didn't start playing basketball until he was 15. Growing up in Cameroon, he initially played soccer and volleyball. These sports both contributed to his basketball development in unexpected ways. Soccer helped him refine elite footwork, now a required trait of the post game, while volleyball sharpened his timing and hand-eye coordination — hence his dominance as a shot-blocker and rebounder. This multi-sport background is common among African players. Many grow up playing soccer first, which explains why so many African-born big men in the NBA — Hakeem Olajuwon, Serge Ibaka, and Pascal Siakam — have exceptional footwork and agility.Like Jokić's water polo background shaped his passing, soccer's fluidity influences how many African players move on the court. Beyond skills, migration plays a key role, as many leave home as teens to develop in European leagues or U.S. schools. Constant adaptation to new environments builds mental resilience, essential for professional sports. (just ask Luka Dončić after suddenly being traded to the Lakers!) Anthropologist Arjun Appadurai describes this as evolving ethnoscapes and how globalization drives global cultural flows. Practices, traditions, and ideas reshape both new destinations and home cultures as identities become blended across cultures and borders. African players embody this, adapting their games across multiple basketball traditions.Look at Embiid moving from Cameroon to the U.S., adapting to American basketball while retaining his cross-sport instincts. Or Giannis Antetokounmpo, he was born in Greece to Nigerian parents, played soccer as a kid, and now blends European teamwork and fancy footwork with NBA strength training and explosiveness. Like the game itself, basketball is shifting as players from diverse domains deliver new directions, playing patterns, and philosophies.CULTURE, COURTS, AND CROSSOVERSThe influx of European and African players has not only changed the NBA, it's also changed how American players play overseas.Sports psychologist Rainer Meisterjahn studied American players in foreign leagues, revealing struggles with structured European play and coaching. Initially frustrated by the lack of individual play and star focus, many later gained a broader understanding of the game. Their experience mirrors that of European and African players in the NBA, proving basketball is now a shared global culture.While the NBA markets itself as an American product, its style, strategies, and talent pool are increasingly internationalized. The dominance of ball movement and tactical discipline coupled with versatility and adaptability have fundamentally reshaped how the game is played.Media has help drive basketball's global expansion. Sports media now amplifies international leagues, exposing fans (like me) to diverse playing styles. Rather than homogenizing, basketball evolves by merging influences, much like cultural exchanges that shaped jazz (another love of mine) or global cuisine (another love of mind) — blending styles while retaining its core. The game is no longer dictated by how one country plays; it is an interwoven, adaptive sport, constantly changing in countless ways. The court's boundaries may be tight, but borderless basketball has taken flight.Basketball has always been a game of spatial negotiation. First confined to a small, hardwood court, it spilled out of walls to playgrounds, across rivalrous cross-town leagues, to the Laker-Celtic coastal battles of the 80s, and onto the global stage. Yet its true complexity is not just where it is played, but how it adapts. The game's larger narrative is informed by the emergent behaviors and real-time spatial recalibration that happens every time it's played. Basketball operates as an interactive system where every movement creates new positional possibilities and reciprocal responses. Player interactions shape the game in real time, influencing both individual possessions—where spacing, passing, and movement constantly evolve — and the global basketball economy, where styles, strategies, and talent migration continuously reshape the sport.On the court, players exist in a constant state of spatial adaptation, moving through a fluid network of shifting gaps, contested lanes, and open spaces. Every pass, cut, and screen forces a reaction, triggering an endless cycle of recalibration and emergence. The most elite players — whether it's Nikola Jokić manipulating defensive rotations with surgical passing or Giannis Antetokounmpo reshaping space in transition — don't just react to the game; they anticipate and reshape the very structure of the court itself. This reflects the idea that space is not just occupied but actively redefined through movement and interaction, continuously shaped by dynamic engagement on and off the court.This logic of adaptation extends to the community level where basketball interacts with urban geography, shaping and being shaped by its environment. Urban basketball courts function as micro-environments, where local styles of play emerge as reflections of city life and its unique spatial dynamics. The compact, improvisational play of street courts in Lagos mirrors the spatial density of urban Africa, just as the systemic, team-first approach of European basketball reflects the structured environments of club academies in Spain, Serbia, and Lithuania. As the game expands, it doesn't erase these identities — it integrates them. New forms of hybrid styles reflect decades-old forces of globalization.Basketball's global expansion mirrors the complex adaptive networks that form during the course of a game. Interconnected systems evolve through emergent interactions. And just as cities develop through shifting flows of people, resources, and ideas, basketball transforms as players, styles, and strategies circulate worldwide, continuously reshaping the game on the court and off. The court may still be measured in feet and lines, but the game it contains — psychologically, socially, and geographically — moves beyond those boundaries. It flows with every fluent pass, each migrating mass, and every vibrant force that fuels its ever-evolving future.REFERENCESHillier, B. (2012).

Nashville SC remains winless after another brutal loss to the New York Red Bulls, leaving fans frustrated and searching for answers. With zero wins in seven attempts against New York, an ineffective attack, and lingering defensive struggles, is it time to hit the panic button?Nashville SC's early season struggles continue as they suffer yet another defeat to the New York Red Bulls, a team they have never beaten. A 2-0 loss exposed glaring issues in both attack and defense, raising serious concerns about BJ Callaghan's tactical setup. With zero goals through two matches, should fans be worried about Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge's lack of impact?The crew breaks down the key takeaways from the match, including why Nashville struggled against the high-pressing Red Bulls, why BJ's lineup decisions are under scrutiny, and whether the team's young players are ready for the challenge. Was Joe Willis at fault for the goals? Should Josh Bauer get a shot over Jack Maher? And is new signing Ahmed Qasem the spark Nashville desperately needs?We also dive into “Play, Skip, Repeat,” highlighting what worked, what needs to change, and what Nashville SC should build on moving forward. Plus, the team plays “Panic Button,” deciding which concerns are overblown and which ones signal real trouble ahead.With injuries piling up, a lack of finishing in the final third, and fans growing restless, how much time does Callahan have to turn things around? Tune in as we break down Nashville SC's current struggles and look ahead to what's next.

#347 In this episode, Guy welcomed Cailin Callaghan, a spiritual cognitive coach who shared her transformative near-death experience (NDE). Cailin recounted her encounter with an interdimensional being named Michael, who taught her the concept of 'lucidity'—being awake in the dream of the world. They delved into the idea that we create our world with our expectations and labels, often leading to our own unhappiness. Cailin discussed techniques to harness our consciousness to reshape our experiences and perspectives, emphasizing the importance of intentional thinking and speaking. This profound conversation explores how understanding our true selves can empower us to overcome suffering and embrace our role as creators in our own lives. About Cailin: At the age of twenty in 1978, I made a trip to the Lustrous Vast of Quantum Imminence where I was met by the guide whom I had, five years before, dismissed as merely the imaginary friend of my childhood. He, The Daemon Michael, is the source Consciousness from which I spring into this world venue, and he and I operate in a few other venues together as well while my body is sleeping here in Earth Venue.  When I met him in the Lustrous Vast, T. D. Michael gave me a life review and a revelation of what Humanity is doing that is destroying their happiness and preventing access to all the powers of their "godly estate." Empowered by this revelation, and inspired by the Divine Love I became while in the Lustrous Vast, I wielded my Will to literally raise my body from the dead. (It's not hard to do when you know what you are and what the Earth is.) My body had died from head trauma when a stallion had kicked me in the face, knocking me from the back of the running mare I'd been astride, chasing that stallion. My body lay in a pasture with my friend running towards it. As she stood over my still form, thinking I was dead and wondering what to do since we were so isolated, I, like a gusting whirlwind of Will, reinhabited my form, and the body's eyes popped open.  I started right away trying to deliver to the world the Liberating Perspective The Daemon Michael had given me, but it was 1978, and the world was not acquainted yet, in large, with the Quantum principles I/We had to offer.

Cailín Callaghan is a writer and a spiritual cognitive coach. She has been a mystic since the age of five.Her childhood was fraught with peril and abuse. But she had the ability to bi-locate, to separate body and soul. And she had her spirit guide, Michael, who she later realized is “the Source consciousness from which I spring into this world venue”.People around Cailín told her Michael was merely a figment of her childish imagination. In her teens, she tried to ignore her connection with the nonphysical realm and lead a conventional, materialistic, life. She began building a career in science. The magic drained out.But a near-death experience at the age of 20 changed everything.She met Michael again, in the ‘lustrous vast of quantum imminence'. He explained how life on earth works.“From the lustrous vast, the world is clearly a dream. It cannot even touch you, much less hurt you”, says Cailín.Michael said to her: “Only the lucid dreamer can change the dream.”And she remembered her mission. She remembered she was part of a huge team with the task to enter ‘earth venue' and help humanity.“I thought, ‘I have to go back. I have to tell everybody this. If i can just make them lucid in the dream of the world, it will end suffering.'”Cailín's life today is about teaching lucidity and how we create our lives. She has coined the term imagifesting.“It's important to stop worrying, because you're borrowing from a future that may never occur”, she says.“You have to be lucid enough in the dream to observe the worry and then choose to do something much more productive in its stead. You imagine and manifest how the things you normally worry about unfold to their ideal resolution.”Then you create what you really want.“To imagifest is to summon the experience of every dimension of what you want to occur, especially the feeling you will have when it occurs.”Our physicality is part of what we are, but not the essence. The essence is immortal. Life on earth is an illusion, a game, a play, a dream.“People identifying as the dream character is what creates all the suffering in the world. They are unconsciously creating a world they don't want. And then they blame that world for being unhappy!”This also relates to strong opinions and beliefs.“When you identify with the dream character, you want to be right more than you want to be happy.”And the solution?“People being lucid in the dream of the world.”The vast of quantum imminence, Cailín explains, is the substrate in which all worlds, i.e. all dreams, take place.“There is no separation. There are points of view, and there are selves, but there are no separate selves. Truth is unity. But Source enjoys being you. That identity is perfect, because you're a godling.”We should confront what frightens us the most, says Cailín.“It's a sign post: Confront this, so you can get past it.”It's probably not such a good idea to apply this to the news cycle, however. To enhance your lucidity, you cannot get caught in the news drama.Cailín's websiteCailín's YoutubeCailín's Facebook

In this Benefits Like a Boss episode, you'll hear from Kathleen Callaghan, VP of Content and Training, and Natasha Orozco, VP of Client Experience. Along with host Lesley Brown Albright, Director of Business Development, they explore how better health benefits lead not only to a better society but a better economy. As leaders in service and education, Kathleen and Natasha are on the front lines of simplifying the headache of health insurance. “We can't change the whole industry, we're one company…but we can help fill some of those bigger gaps, mainly around helping people access quality and affordable healthcare,” said Kathleen.Much of that access relies on what Kathleen describes as the “click.” When the ins and outs of the health plan finally click for a member, it comes from two things—understanding and interest. So, Kathleen's challenge is crafting content that helps engage members to ask questions and find answers. Kathleen and Natasha see themselves as partners in delivering the best member experience. “We're always looking to make things easier and better for the member,” said Natasha. “We think about how this will impact the member, not the bottom line.”Natasha's leadership legacy is to be the “insurance for the people.” She comes to work every day excited to make a profound impact by providing comfort in tough moments. The empathy in each employee sets Nonstop apart as so much more than an insurance company. Kathleen, Natasha, and Lesley are filled with pride in the work they do, and the company they do the work for. As our host says, “It feels good to be doing some good work in a broken system.”To learn more about Nonstop Health: nonstophealth.comShow edited by: Tim Pogo timpogo@timpogo.com
