  • Annagh 2005, the Twenty-Eighth Issue of the Ballyhaunis Tparish Magazine
    Christmas Greetings t seems such a short year since last Christmas and yet we are moving fast towards the IChristmas season again. The year gone by has been a year of high drama, beginning with the awful tsunami tragedy on St. Stephen’s Day. This has been followed by all the other tragedies of the year, the hurricanes in the US, the terrors in Baghdad, the earthquake in Pakistan and many more. I suppose one event that will always stand out in the minds of Catholics was the death of our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. His final illness and death brought home to us how he dignified pain and suffering by his endurance and acceptance. His funeral captured the attention of the world because he was respected by world leaders everywhere for standing up for what he believed. Then we had the election of Pope Benedict XVI and a new era in the church began. It is our prayer that the coming year will be a better year, that peace will take the place of war and violence around the world, and that people everywhere will escape natural disasters and flu pandemics. As always, I avail of the pages of Annagh Magazine to wish you all, on my own behalf and on behalf of Fr. Burke, a very happy and holy Christmas and every blessing and every happiness in the New Year. Wherever you are, at home or abroad, you will be remembered in our Masses on Christmas Day. Joseph Cooney Canon Joseph Cooney, P.P. and Fr.

  • Caution, This Is Sparta!: a Gendered Examination of Mixed Martial Arts and the Spartanization Process
    CAUTION, THIS IS SPARTA!: A GENDERED EXAMINATION OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS AND THE SPARTANIZATION PROCESS by ALLISON M. TEETER B.A., Kansas State University, 2005 M.A., Kansas State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Abstract The sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) was once referred to as a No Holds Barred (NHB) fighting contest, but is now known as cage, extreme, or ultimate fighting. Showcasing athletes from a variety of martial arts backgrounds, a referee stoppage, knockout, or submission is the only way to win. Pushing their minds and bodies to the limits, fighters often engage in hand-to-hand combat inside of a ring or cage in front of a crowd, for anywhere from three to twenty-five minutes. How does one become an MMA fighter? Through a rigorous and complex process of socialization that will be referred to in this work as the ‘spartanization’ process. A mixed methodological approach, primarily qualitative in nature, was used to reveal the rigorous and complex nature of this process. This study’s data collection began with six site visits taking place over the course of six months. Utilizing a convenience sampling method, in-depth semi- structured interviews were conducted with 31 male and 14 female fighters. The interview schedule addressed fighters’ involvement in the spartanization process, their experiences in the gym as well as the cage, and their perceptions as fighters.
