NOVEMBER: Week 4 and DECEMBER: WEEK 1

As I've mentioned before, November 30 will be my last paper until our January 4 issue; Brendan Albano will be stepping in while I'm recovering from surgery. It's been a pleasure working with you; next term will bring a lot of challenges but also a lot of opportunity and I'm excited to face them.

Anyway, here's what needs shooting:
