There won't be too much going on here at the blog for the next few weeks, as I'll be in South Africa through mid April. It'll be part travel and part community outreach (an educational project in conjunction with the South African Education and Environment Project (SAEP)). Hopefully I'll be able to check in along the way.

When you get back, please bring us up to date on the Duke lacrosse case, and the 88 professors at Duke who made libelous statements against the players but will not apologize. Thanks very much.
