Weekly News (December 30, 2013)

Editor’s Note: Today was the last day we used Feedburner for our daily email subscriptions. Tomorrow, anyone currently signed up to Feedburner will receive an email from our new subscription service offered through MailChimp. Things will look a bit different, but the content will be the same. If you would like to subscribe to our new service, you can do so here.

This is also the last couple days of this iteration on halfwheel. At noon on Jan. 1, the site may be offline as we implement our new theme.
