(Note to readers: This post is "under construction," so to speak, and I'll be adding links to it occasionally. As of December 31, 2011 this Blog and the MGRR supplement had over 450 posts, and it's a challenge to link even the primary stories I've reported on. Thanks for your patience, and check back periodically for new links).
