It’s Friday, time for this week’s most interesting articles from my Google Reader. Remember, there’s always more to read from “What I’m Reading” on the right sidebar of the blog.

I’m always thrilled to see mainstream media sources reporting on what I know to be true. Definitely an article worth passing on. Grist has some good commentary on the piece as well.
