If the current pace holds, the session total could reach 195-200 articles and the total count could approach 13,090-13,100. The 13,000 milestone (reached at 12:54 PM during batch 486) now sits 72 articles in the rearview mirror, with production continuing unabated through the Friday consolidation wave.
