My lab loves tea! Apparently, everyone stops work during the day and drinks tea together. Or coffee, but the Indian tea is quite superb. Even if one post-doc put too much sugar in it. Mmmmmm.
Glanced at the headlines this morning. Blair and Bush (but really Blair) seem to be headed towards a plan for African debt forgiveness. Hopefully more will come out before the G8 conference. I find it interesting that one of the major newspapers on the African continent places their opinion alongside an article about how the UN is controlled by countries that treat them like colonies. Certainly, I am interested as to the stipulations regarding debt forgiveness. Will these 20 countries in question have a sustainable development plan? Will there be safeguards to prevent illiberal dictators from padding their accounts with the money that used to pay loans? Or for corruption in general?
