Sara's News Roundup 1/3/10

You get a double-dose of Sara's News this week, because her post didn't come through last week. Sara's roundups are very popular and I don't want you to miss these great articles, so I'm posting this tonight and back-dating it to the correct day. The articles are still accurate and the links are still good. (Update for #12: The N.J. senate voted down same sex marriage and LGBT groups are taking them to court. Update for #13: Dozens of N.H. couples have gotten married since the law took effect on Jan 1. And #11: you already know my response to Levi's interview.) Thanks for your patience. - eross
