As we get closer to the end of the spring semester and into the summer, ELB contributors will be taking one or two week stints as ELB primary bloggers. This gives me a chance to get a bit of a break from the day-to-day action while still weighing in when there are significant developments. I so appreciate this help!

Up first is Ohio state’s Ned Foley, who is taking two weeks. During that time, please direct all tips and comments to Ned.
