http://www.iol.ie/~dluby/dublin.htm History The first known settlement on the site of Dublin was called Eblana, a name found in the writings of the 2d-century Alexandrian geographer Ptolemy. The town later appears in history as Dubh-linn (Gaelic, "Black Pool"), the inhabitants of which won (ad 291) a military victory over the armed forces of the kingdom of Leinster. Baile Atha Cliath, the present official name, is believed to have been applied to the settlement at a subsequent date.

2007-10-25 21:22 Migrant Integration in Rural and Urban Areas of New Settlement Countries: Thematic Introduction
A relatively new feature in European migration is the significant and growing impact it has had on peripheral and rural areas. In southern Europe there has been a relatively steady stream of migrants to rural areas since the 1990s, in part connected with their relatively large, labour-intensive agricultural sector (Kasimis 2005). In some northern European countries, such as Ireland and Scotland, rural areas have particularly benefited from the 2004 EU enlargement: increasing evidence suggests th …

2007-10-25 20:19 Ulster's lesson for the Middle East: don't indulge extremists
By David Trimble, a Conservative working peer. He was formerly leader of the Ulster Unionist party, first minister of Northern Ireland, and a Nobel peace laureate (THE GUARDIAN, 25/10/07): Advocating the Northern Irish "model" has become a popular pastime. In conflicts as different as those in Spain, Sri Lanka and the Middle East, the key players are now urged to consider the undoubted success in Northern Ireland and follow our example. This is hardly surprising, but I am concerned about how tha …

2007-10-24 17:00 Verizon settles œunlimited data suit
Yesterday was not a good day for the Verizon legal department. First they dropped their appeal of the open-access provision in the 700 MHz spectrum auction. Now they've settled a suit in New York over their deceptive offering of "unlimited internet" mobile packages. Apparently, "unlimited" really meant "a limit set by us, but not known to you." And when people broke that threshold, their service was terminated. This is going to cost Verizon over one million dollars - a million to the customers i …

Earlier this week, Viacom reaffirmed their commitment to suing Google (hey, we all have to be committed to something, right). Commenting on that decision, I said that Viacom should at least be willing to work with Google's new anti-piracy tool. And according to Reuters, it appears that they might: "I suspect at some point in the future we'll work with Google," [Viacom Inc Chief Executive Philippe] Dauman said at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.

Och förhoppningsvis förhindra att landet kollapsar eller faller ner i ett inbördeskrig. Något som verkar ganska avlägset just nu. Bhutto: Faderns bödlar bakom blodbad Benazirs Bhuttos återkomst till Pakistan väntas förändra det politiska landskapet i Pakistan.

Here in the Philippines, road accidents are usually settled by the traffic management people together with the police. Unfortunately, court proceed …

When it needed a new site, SFUSD offered the Gloria R. Davis campus in the Bayview, in the heart of the community that Metro is committed to serve. Instead, Envision chose the Newcomer site …

A llteftersom fler och fler barn använder Webben så ökar risken för att de kommer i kontakt med olämpliga personer. Frågan om barns säkerhet på webben uppmärksammades när den sociala webbsajten MySpace sade att de hade stängt av hela 29,000 dömda sex förbrytare. Nu har Facebook följt efter, bl.a. efter påtryckningar från Andrew M. Cuomo, chefsåklagare i delstaten New York.

My music buying habits have slowed considerably since my college days, when I'd rush down to the music store every Tuesday and spend every penny I hadn t guzzled through a beer bong the previous weekend, but I still managed to amass a rather prodigious CD collection. When I got a Mac and an iPod, this turned into a rather prodigious iTunes library, and quickly became a major thorn in my side.

By Fred Hiatt (THE WASHINGTON POST, 15/10/07): Imagine what the Armenian diaspora might have accomplished had it worked as hard for democracy in Armenia as it did for congressional recognition of the genocide Armenians suffered nearly a century ago. It's even possible that modern Armenia would be as democratic as modern Turkey. The Armenian American community notched a political victory last week when the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 27 to 21 for a resolution demanding that the U.S. gov …

A study of how Europe integrates immigrants has exposed wide variations in the welcome foreign workers receive. The European Union-backed research found Sweden doing the most to help migrants settle - and Latvia the least. Overall, EU nations are only doing half as much as they could, said researchers acting for a consortium of 25 organisations across Europe. The study of policies across the continent ranks countries on key factors affecting immigrants' lives. The Migration Integration Policy In …

Rice returned yet again to the Middle East Sunday hoping to push forward what is increasingly seen as a last-ditch effort by the Bush administration to see an Arab state carved out of ancient Jewish lands.
