In the beginning, there were links, and the links linked the world together and made it a smaller place, and the links were good.

BODY
~ Commonplace Sugar Compound Silences Seizures.
~ Linkages Between Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors And Bone Mass Found By Forsyth Scientists. If you're taking prozac, you should have good bone density.

~ Dr. Gabe Mirkin talks about Marathon training.
~ Snack Swapper -- trade in fattening snacks for healthy snacks.

PSYCHE

~ Ryan Oelke at Anxious Living has a nice post on Insulating Effect of Established Relationships for people with social anxeity.

HABITATS
