I haven't posted anything in over a week, so here's a quick writeup about interesting articles I've culled from my inbox today.

The Forfeiture Endangers American Rights organization mailing list highlights Michael J. Langer's, "Can Anyone Stop Big Brother? New York's Drunk Driving Laws Do Not Pass the Constitutional Test" in the Hofstra Law Review. This details the legality of forfiture of automobiles for alleged drunk driving.

Wiggins sought out the expert advice of Dan Roche, the new Venable Entrepreneur in Residence at the UMBC Technology Center, for emerging companies looking to survive in these tougher times.
