We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you these urgent messages...

Sorry to break the flow of our Rwanda journal adventure, but I must relate this to you. I have regretted my sorry degree of news-awareness and thirst for news for some time and have sought to remedy this. In in effort to do so (and to appeal to my largely news-hungry audience), I posted a news-feed corresponding to some of my areas of interest. This has encouraged me to read up frequently - especially as work has been slow lately (that is something I will explain later). So, to the point. Please read the following stories - they are generally short but extremely interesting and thought-provoking.

Mull those over, and get back to me.
