Research links of the week

Some good reference and statistical resources this week. A couple of these links came from a blog I heard about in an email, The Pedantic Pundit. Not recently updated but it links to some great research resources I hadn't seen anywhere else. Several links recently have come from Mark Schaver's Depth Reporting blog, always a great resource, including his links for reporters.
Of course I get all these links from varied sources that I check all the time, and don't attribute every one of them. (The last link is to my old website which has not been completely moved yet.)
