TOMMY DUNNE WAS Tipperary’s All-Ireland winning captain in 2001 and the Toomevara player won three All-Star awards during a glittering hurling county career.
In the following extract from ‘Tipperary: Game Of My Life’, he reflects on that 2001 All-Ireland final win over Galway.
WHEN I WAS a child I used to say a prayer every night before going to bed that I’d be as good as Nicky English. That’s what it meant to me when I was a kid.

Salt Lake City’s Rio Grande Cafe has left a historic downtown train station and its namesake for a new home near the University of Utah.
Now, instead of inside a landmark depot, the nearly 40-year-old eatery has set up at a restored fire station at 258 S. 1300 East. The Porcupine Pub and Grille, which had been operating in that spot for about five years, closed last month to make way for a sister restaurant.

For decades, scientists have worked to understand the intricacies of biological diversity from genetic and species diversity to ecological diversity.
As they began to comprehend the depths of diversity across the planet, they noticed an interesting pattern. The number of species increases drastically from the poles to the equator. This phenomenon, known as the latitudinal gradient of species diversity, has helped define the tropics as home to most of the world s biodiversity. Scientists estimate that tropical forests contain more than half the species on earth, from plants and insects to birds, amphibians, and mammals.
These biologically rich areas are known as biodiversity hotspots. To qualify as a hotspot, a region must have at least 1,500 vascular plants species occurring nowhere else and have 30 percent or less of its original natural vegetation. In other words, it must be both irreplaceable and threatened.
