Though I can’t say for sure when they came online; I just stumbled across them last night. Unfortunately their category feeds only feature headlines, not even the first paragraph or first few lines of the stories. The “how-to” page does mention Radio as an example of a news reader.
Irish plead for EU gift of the gab.
It looks like Ireland is indeed going to push to have Irish added to the growing list of recognized languages in the EU. It was quite classy for Bertie to not have pushed for it while Ireland held the EU presidency. It does sound as though Ulster MEP Jim Allister could use a hand removing the broomstick from his arse.
UH-Hilo Wins 10 Year Reaccreditation
We’re proud of the WASC report, which cites our campus’ programs for Native Hawaiian students, and the work of our College of Hawaiian Language as “recognized worldwide and is a model for the study of the culture of indigenous people.” The accreditation extension is for a full 10 years, the longest possible.
Mayo Losing Gaeltacht?
The Mayo News reports that the status and funding granted the Gaeltacht regions of Mayo will soon be lost. It brings a new dimension to the old phrase “Use it or lose it.”
I received a disappointing reply from University College Cork regarding my Ph.d. inquiry.
While it seems that pursing a Ph.d. there is possible, they would want me to relocate to Cork for a minimum of two years, not just one.

I was interviewed by the Honolulu Advertiser for this story on Ulukau, our online Hawaiian library.
The library has grown tremendously in the past few months, and is only going to get bigger and better as time goes on.
I got a very postive reply to my inquiry to the University of Sheffield in England.
It sounds as though my desire to spend a year abroad and then making subsequent visits to their campus aligns well with their Joint Location Program. Also, one of their lecturers has taught at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. I’ve also sent an inquiry to the University of Oxford. Of course, my first choice remains the music program at “Cork”, but they have still not replied to my inquiry. It’s not going to be feasible for me to enter any program until fall of 2005, but I’d like to identify and apply to programs by the fall so that…
Slugger points to a very compelling argument against making Irish and official EU language.
There do seem to be few valid reasons to do it, other than they can and it would make people feel good.
It looks like George W. got three of four letters correct, and for him, that’s pretty darn good.
It was Iran, not Iraq, stockpiling weapons of mass distruction. An honest mistake. (NOT!)
