Well its the last day of 2006 and my final Morning briefing of the year :( not that I've been doing them for very long, but I'd like to take this moment to wish all the readers of this blog the Best for 2007! Have a great night and be careful!!!!
An nuacht ar an maidin seo!
CNN reports on Kofi Annan's Legacy saying he left a 'mixed legacy'
BreakingNews.ie reports on the destruction of prisoner files in the North before the Freedom of Information Act came in. I'm surprised that didn't happen down here. Reminds me of an episode of Yes, Minister, the one where Sir Humphrey's mistake is hushed up by saying the files were destroyed in a flood!
McDowell is spouting off again, saying the PD's will be successful in the next election according to breakingnews.ie. Who do you think will win the next election? Vote on Cllr Seamus Ryan's Blog
Now its time for year 2006 round ups!
France 24: Retrospective 2006
BBC: Stories of 2006
Thats all i can find for the moment! so enjoy what is left of 2006!
Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit.

RTÉ have a story on how Circuses are to get grants from the Arts Council.
BreakingNews.ie are reminding people of when to post their letters and parcels as today is the last day for post to the UK
BreakingNews.ie also report that detectives have arrested a man in connection with the murder of 5 prostitutes in the UK
France 24 main story is the resuption of 6 party talks on North Korea.

Colonising the moon?!?!
Well NASA has announced is going to build a manned base on the moon by 2024!
maybe we are going to colonising the galaxy sooner then we think.
Shortcut to living in space
the above link is to a CNN Briefing Room story on the issue
NASA has decided the Moon's south pole is probably the best spot as it is sunlit three-quarters of the year and there are potential resources to mine nearby.
Sounds like a nice place to live dont it?

Returning to Sailing Ships?
High-tech sail to cut costs, emissions
I go the above through my CNN alerts on the EU. Looks like a great way for shipping to reduce emmissions and harks back to the good old days of sailing ships.
UPDATE: The Company involved Website
and click here for a video of the sail in action
