Hi Annie, Simon,
No problem re the press release. It seems that a lot of the press picked 
this up anyway. I talked to quite a few print and online journalists, 
including AP, Reuters and AFP. The only broadcast media interviews I 
have done were BBC World Service, ABC and CNN radio.

Sorry about being hard to contact yesterday afternoon - we had a school 
board meeting, which we're all obliged to attend. I'm working at home 
this morning, but my phone is on!

Cheers,

Nathan
