I'm hard-pressed for time and we're all hard-pressed for links, unfortunately. As it stands, I don't really see any new linkage for you folks, but I'll post up the relevant articles from the last few days. I've got to make them quick, however, so no commentary or anything of that nature. Apologies on that front, but you'll find a way to make it through. Enjoy the links, chilllllldren.
