ne of the best books I've worked on this year comes out today: Lesser Evils by Erin M. Evans. The words themselves were a pleasure to edit. Erin's talent for writing strong, compelling characters makes it a quick and easy read—but also an unforgettable one. The characters stayed in my head long after I finished the last page. If you're looking for a can't-put-it-down fantasy tale for the plane ride home for the holidays, this is a sure bet!
But a novel isn't just thousands of words printed on paper (or digitally rendered on a screen). When we set out to publish a new novel, we think about it as an entire package—from the design of the type, to the cover art that greets a reader checking out the book for the first time. That art, above all, is taken very seriously. Yeah, people say they don't judge a book by its cover, but in the world of book publishing, we know that's a big fat lie! And so we do everything we can to make the cover art something that will draw readers in and give a great first impression.
In celebration of the release of Lesser Evils, I sat down with author Erin M. Evans and our art director Jon Schindehette, to discuss the behind-the-scenes process of creating cover art for the novel—and more specifically, designing the look of Farideh, the story's main character, and her cambion patron, Lorcan. This cover, like all of our covers, started in the imagination of the author.
ERIN EVANS: The first step is to suggest scenes and point out details the artist would need for them. This is a little hard—you want it to look like it does in your head, but at the same time, the artist knows better than you do how to make an attractive cover. There's a happy medium there, but it means letting go of your character(s) a little. I know I'm not the only author fighting the urge to give too many details and convince the powers-that-be that the scene that belongs on the cover is this one over here that you don't like, come on! Fortunately there's an editor and an art director between me and the artist.
For Lesser Evils, most of the scenes I pointed out were fight scenes—including a big group fight with Zhentarim and shadar-kai, a battle with an undead monstrosity, and a quick fight with a hydra in an underground cave. Some weren't suitable because they were too jumbled, and some were suspect because they would've required details that might've spoiled the story. In fact, I can't even tell you my pet option! (Maybe later.) The scene Nina liked best was low on punching but high on atmosphere, and (much like the Brimstone Angels cover) you can appreciate on its own though once you finish the book and know exactly what you're looking at, it's even better.
NINA HESS: It's my role to mediate between the author's vision, and what I know of the marketplace and our own strengths as a publisher. As a former editor herself and an author with three great books under her belt, Erin's got an excellent sense already of what makes a good cover, so she makes my job easy. Once we'd discussed the options, I took Erin's write-up of the scene we'd decided on, added a few clarifications, and compiled it all into a document we call an art order, which we submitted to the art director, Jon Schindehette. For Lesser Evils, this was the art order:
Looking back at this reminds me of one of the weird things about our process that people may not realize. In order to meet all our deadlines, we're often working on cover art before we've finalized the text of the book. So when we wrote this up, Erin had an idea about this scene, but hadn't finished writing it. Some of the details ended up changing in the final draft of the book. (And some are a little spoiler-y so I blacked them out!) But in the end, the changes didn't matter much based on how the artist ended up interpreting the notes.
One of the most important things I noted on that art order was: "This is a sequel to Brimstone Angels." As you can see, I was so intent on noting it, I wrote it twice! I wanted to make sure that the artist looked at the previous book's art and took in how we'd previously depicted Farideh and Lorcan. We didn't want it to look exactly the same, but there needed to be continuity. A lot of work had gone into developing the look of Farideh on that first cover, if I recall.
ERIN: Yeah, the first sketch of the Brimstone Angels cover had a few elements where the artist and I didn't quite have the same image in our heads. I'd said "Farideh wears robes. I can make them whatever color works with the composition. You pick." But then I didn't really give him enough character background, I think, to have a sense of what those robes otherwise looked like. The first version of the art featured a very busty Farideh wearing, basically, purple ribbons. In the book, she's poor, she's young, she's so self-conscious that she goes around in the summer wearing a hooded cloak. And she's around her overprotective dad all the time. Skimpy is not her look—the original outfit might have been eye-catching, but it would have given the character a panic attack. I almost had a panic attack, because I thought it was final art. Fortunately, it was an easier fix than it seemed like, and the artist made some minor changes along with the outfit that really captured her perfectly.
JON SCHINDEHETTE: The book releasing this month, Lesser Evils, had a few challenges of its own. First of all, the artist that had done Brimstone Angels cover was not available, so after I received Nina's art order, I went looking for an artist that could work in a similar style to keep visual continuity. Min Yum jumped into the project with gusto, and did a great job of bringing together the visuals. I chose Min on his ability to really impart character with subtle nuances. This was going to be necessary since the art in this series was quite gestural and abstract. Hitting the nuances was super important when everything comes down to just a couple of visual components.
NINA: Getting those nuances right is so important to me as an editor, too. You can't always communicate those in an art order. You just hope the artist will read between the lines. An artist always brings something to the table—their own interpretation of a character. Sometimes it's not what you were expecting, but usually it's even better. Seeing a character for the first time is like opening a Christmas present.
JON: I feel like it's Christmas too—Christmas at my folks' house. Will I get something off my "wish list," or will I get the argyle sweater vest? I always open the art holding my breath. Now don't get me wrong, I work with some of the best artists in the business. It's seldom an issue of good vs. bad, it's simply an issue of "did they capture the essence of the character?" Normally I open the piece up and am wowed by the beauty of the art, and then I've got to get down to work assessing the artwork for details and personality. So the "new art glow" only gets to exist for few minutes before I've got to put on the art direction glasses and start looking for holes in the piece.
To help, I pull out the original brief and read it over again. I get the vision of the character firmly planted in my head, and then start going over the art, making a list of changes and recommendations for myself. Then I'll put the list aside for a few hours, and let my brain just sit with the artwork for a while. I'll even go back to the piece again and make sure I didn't miss anything. At that point, I'll do my write-up and share it with the editor—who in turn shares the art and write-up with the author.
ERIN: When Nina sends me an email with a sketch, I hold my breath and shut my eyes before I open the file. Seeing that character for a first time is a little weird! Exciting, but I also feel vaguely embarrassed. It's the same feeling I get when I see the book in the store the first time. Like "Oh no! Someone found the story I wrote!" (I assume I'll get over this. Someday.)
Then I go, "Oh hey, that's pretty awesome. But…" And I send an email back with changes that I usually rank by how important they are. With both Brimstone Angels and Lesser Evils, one thing I remember focusing on was the look of Lorcan, Farideh's cambion patron.
NINA: Getting Lorcan right was a little tricky. If there's something in the cover that needs to be rendered very specifically, like a monster, we like to send the artist a visual reference. Artists are visual learners, and even authors and editors realize that a picture works a lot better for them than words. At the time, the policy was that references needed to be pulled from existing art owned by Wizards of the Coast.
ERIN: This was a big problem when it came to giving direction for Lorcan, because I really didn't want him to look like the cambion from the Monster Manual. I like that picture, but it's not the right look. But with Brimstone Angels, it bled over anyway—can't be helped when that's the only example you can show. I felt like with Lesser Evils the artist came closer to the look that I wanted in the very first sketch.
NINA: Yup, Min Yum really got it right off the bat. We started with four conceptual sketches, picked the one we liked best in terms of composition, and then the Min Yum went for a tighter sketch. Even in those first loose sketches, the character nuances felt right.
JON: The next stage in the process is to communicate our notes to the artist. I take any feedback, assess it, have discussions as necessary, and then do a final write-up and occasional paint-overs or sketches to make visual suggestions that don't translate well to words. I'll deliver that to the artist, and we'll have a discussion about my comments to make sure they don't have any questions or concerns—and then off they go to work their magic once again.
NINA: With some covers, we need to see additional sketches, but in the case of Lesser Evils, we really didn't have too many things to fuss over. Min Yum did a fantastic job of interpreting Erin's vision. The only thing I remember really worrying about was whether he would remember to paint the eyes the correct colors in the final art. But he did!
ERIN: Yeah, the Lesser Evils cover was a pretty good surprise overall. I was really happy to see how well it turned out. Farideh looks very nearly like I imagine, and a lot of her character comes through as well. This is the only depiction where (I don't think) there was any discussion about unsexying her. I also like this Lorcan. He's a good balance of monstrous and attractive. It actually surprised me a little how there's almost a separate continuity for the characters in art and in text—and that's okay. From the start, the art depicted Lorcan with straight black hair (likely because that's what the cambion in the Monster Manual has). But Lorcan's hair in the books is collar-length and kind of curly. But that guy on the cover? He has all the right vibe.
NINA: And so that's the story of how the cover art for Lesser Evils was born. To say nothing of the story itself: a truly twisty plot in which Farideh is drawn into an assignment for the secret society of the Harpers, an assignment which leads her and a ragtag group of allies to an ancient Netherese library deep underground. In the midst of it all, she's doing her best to protect her sister and herself from the menaces of the Nine Hells. But don't take my word for what a good book it is! Just after we finished the final edit, I sent it to Ari Marmell, author of Agents of Artifice, The Conqueror's Shadow, and the Widdershins Adventure series, who replied a mere one day later with this breathless note:
"Well, I'm now behind on my own writing, because I couldn't tear myself away from Lesser Evils. Then again, I'm only behind by a single day—because I really couldn't tear myself away from Lesser Evils. If the next one's not out until tomorrow, it's still too far off. And if Evans is not already a name spoken of as part of the true Forgotten Realms pantheon, along with Kemp, Cunningham, and Salvatore, it can only be because she has fewer books out, and thus hasn't reached everyone yet."
I hope you'll pick up Lesser Evils and enjoy it as much as Ari did. The next book featuring Farideh will be part of our Sundering series, which you might have heard something about. If you're at all interested in the future of the Forgotten Realms, you're going to want to read Lesser Evils to get ready for the Sundering!

By JON REITER
After a 26-point loss to archrival Jeffersonville last weekend, New Albany boys' basketball coach Jim Shannon decided it was time for some wholesale changes in the Bulldog lineup.
Shannon inserted sophomores Jeff Byrne and Chad Hudson and junior Javen Reeves into starting roles, and although the transition wasn't seamless, New Albany defeated visiting Madison 56-48 in the Doghouse on Friday.
"We feel like the kids we inserted in the lineup played their hearts out," said Shannon, whose Bulldogs are 5-5 overall and 3-2 in the Hoosier Hills Conference. "I think they got us going tonight. You're talking about throwing two sophomores and a junior into a tough situation, but really it needed to be done."
Byrne, along with regular starter Jermaine Parrish, led the Bulldogs with 13 points, scoring 11 in the first half as New Albany blazed to a 33-18 lead at intermission. Hudson added three points and five assists, and Reeves grabbed seven rebounds and tied up Madison guard Ryan Thurston on Madison's side of the court for a jump ball and New Albany possession late in the game to help secure the win.
Thurston, who led all scorers with 20 points, helped tighten the game in the second half, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to help draw the Cubs (5-5, 1-3 HHC) to 43-36 with 2 minutes remaining in the third quarter.
Twice in the fourth quarter, Madison closed to within six. It was 52-46 after Cubs guard Nick Macon nailed a 3-pointer with 33.2 seconds remaining, but Parrish and Byrne went 4 for 4 from the free throw line in the closing seconds to finish the visitors off.
Madison coach Pat King said that while he was unhappy about the loss, he noted that it came with leading scorer Landon Perry sidelined with a knee injury and that his squad battled back from an 18-point first half deficit to provide a few anxious moments in the Doghouse.
The Cubs outscored New Albany 30-21 in the second half.
"We're going to walk out of here pretty happy tonight," King said. "One of the things we talked about prior to the game is that we had to weather the storm we knew was coming, and for the most part we did that. The storm hit us in the second quarter. But I thought we did a good job keeping our composure and am pretty proud of how we responded."
Thurston nailed 5-of-9 shots from 3-point range and the Cubs were 8-of-21 from beyond the arc. One place where they were outclassed against the Bulldogs was on the boards, where they were outbattled 28-19.
Garrett Arnold — one of New Albany's starters who was replaced — came off the Bulldog bench to score 10 points for the Bulldogs. Leondre McBirth — the Bulldogs' second-leading scorer behind Parrish — only scored one basket but suffered a nasty fall underneath the New Albany basket in the second quarter and spent most of the game on the sideline nursing an injury to his wrist.
Shannon, whose troops play tonight at Scottsburg, said he would likely stick with the lineup changes he made last night against the Warriors.
"We'll probably keep it how it is," he said. "For now."

Canterbury Cathedral is alive with history and fascinating stories. The information below gives a brief insight into the history of this magnificent building.
The Origins of Canterbury Cathedral
Until the 10th century the Cathedral community lived as the household of the Archbishop. During the 10th century, it became a formal community of Benedictine monks, which continued until the monastery was dissolved by King Henry VIII in 1540.
Augustine's original building lies beneath the floor of the nave– it was extensively rebuilt and enlarged by the Saxons, and the Cathedral was rebuilt completely by the Normans in 1070 following a major fire. There have been many additions to the building over the last nine hundred years, but parts of the quire and some of the windows and their stained glass date from the 12th century.
By 1077, Archbishop Lanfranc had rebuilt it as a Norman church, described as "nearly perfect". A staircase and parts of the North Wall – in the area of the North West transept also called the Martyrdom – remain from that building.
More Recent Times
During the Second World War, the Precincts were heavily damaged by enemy action and the Cathedral's Library was destroyed. Thankfully, the Cathedral itself was not seriously harmed, due to the bravery of the team of fire watchers, who patrolled the roofs and dealt with the incendiary bombs dropped by enemy bombers.
Today, the Cathedral stands as a place where prayer to God has been offered daily for over 1,400 years; nearly 2,000 services are held each year, as well as countless private prayers from individuals. The Cathedral offers a warm welcome to all visitors – its aim is to show people Jesus, which we do through the splendour of the building as well as the beauty of the worship.

There are very few studies of supplements for headaches, but there are 2 or 3 things that do have pretty good evidence for migraine prevention:
Vitamen B2 (riboflavin)---this works OK for headache prevention, but you have to take 200 mg twice a day for it to work. There was a clinical trial in 1996 that showed this was better than placebo at migraine prevention.
Butterbur Root Extract (also called Petadolux, plant name is petasites hybridus)--There was a nice stude in 2004 that showed this was effective for migraine prevention. The dose is 50 mg 3 times a day (or 150 mg/day). This occasionally causes an upset stomach, but I have not had other complaints of side effects from patients.
Co Enzyme Q10: This had a nice study done in 2004 showing it was effective for headache prevention. Unfortunately they used a form not on the marked. I've suggested using 100 mg 2 or 3 tiems a day to patients. This medication is kind of expensive, so not very many of my patients have tried it.
I just read about butterbur for the first time today. One website said it can cause liver toxicity and can be carcinogenic. It also said to get it PA free. What do you think of this? Also does this help with tension headaches also as I have both. Is it something you take for the rest of your life if it works?
But you know, if they actually did a STUDY, and on a supplement or herb, that's refreshing because they aren't doing enough of those on that type of thing. The whole reason nobody knows whether something will help or not is because the Feds don't do studies on them. You could get one herb from one company and the same herb from another, and not be sure you got the same dose, or whether they picked it at the right time, etc.
I might go back and get the Co Q, and try it again if they did a study on it, hopefully it was double-blind.
You sound like me. It seems like I have tried everything and nothing helps herbally. Tried the riboflavin too, feverfew, CoQ10 and none help. I just wondered if butterbur helped many and about side effects. I take anti-inflammatories already along with a muscle relaxant when I am having a real bout of migraines and headaches so maybe the butterbur would be too much. Even things to get rid of tension headaches and migraines don't do much for me. I guess I should be happy the more expensive things for migraines don't work since $19 a pill which does not always work is a rough thing to do.
Thanks for the info.
Any help would be appreciated as he is very sedentary and in front of the computer daily reading since the headaches started about 6 months ago. He just had an eye exam and it was good and did not need new glasses.
He also uses a C-PAP at night and don't know if it is working correctly and want to make sure it is ok. It seems a lot of air is coming out around the mask he wears and think it needs to checked but do not know what to check for. Could it cause some of the headaches he is having if it is not working correctly?
Much of the time migraines aren't caused by anything except hereditary issues. The best thing to do is to work with your dr, and if he or she can't help you, ask for a referal to a headache spec/neurologist who can help quite a bit in most cases.
We are going to change his doctor for the next appointment and see if they will try to find out what is causing the headaches. The one he has now did not know what was wrong and gave him the stronger medication. If they will take time and explain the medication and what to look for would be much better and we could get a better understanding on what to expect with the medication.
And as to someone else's concerns about stomach pain. That should be avoided if you take it with a meal. I only had stomach pain one time when I didn't take it with enough food.
And it has improved my migraines.

Jon Matonis, Contributor
I cover payments, cryptography, and digital currencies.
Fred Wilson is a venture capitalist and principal of Union Square Ventures. On his popular blog, he recently solicited feedback (for the second time) on the bitcoin cryptocurrency. I was tempted to reply directly on the blog, but with over 400 comments posted already I did not want to be lost in the scroll.
My reply is directed first at Fred for sparking the discussion but also to those many other investors pondering bitcoin deals. Throughout, I will refer to bitcoin investments as investment in bitcoin-related deals as opposed to a direct investment in the currency itself which an entirely different business proposition.
Let's get some basics out of the way. First of all, an investment in a bitcoin entity will be a gut-wrenching, difficult investment to make if a particular VC has an inherent fundamental belief in any of the following: (1) the cashless society as promoted by the anti-cashists; (2) capital controls enforced at national borders; (3) the appropriateness of any government monetary policy; and (4) the taxation of income.
For a VC, this can be a soul-searching exercise. But it does not mean that the decentralized digital currency is political by nature. It means that through its cryptographic nature bitcoin reduces the monetary Statist to irrelevancy. Bitcoin has some pretty powerful and disruptive byproducts.
With optional, user-defined transaction privacy, the use of money for purposes of identity linking falls by the wayside. True, it enables a paper cashless society but not with the attributes that the tax-efficient anti-cashists want. Without government checkpoints for financial institution wire transfers, bitcoin capital flows freely, without limits, and perhaps anonymously. The harmful tools of centralized monetary policy would also not exist. And finally, the taxation of income that began in the United States in 1913 would operate on the honor system — the honor of the taxpayer, that is. This could be welcome news for some as a progressive income tax was a fundamental tenet of Marxism.
In his first post, Fred mentioned "the emergence of currencies that are not controlled by nation states in my lifetime." He clearly acknowledges that significant ramifications result from the "decoupling of currencies from governments," but I wonder if he has come to terms with what that actually means.
What sounds cool and hip because it is technologically advanced can also turn a lifetime of engrained political assumptions on its head. If a VC happens to believe that Greece's problems can be solved by eliminating anonymous paper cash transactions and that the taxation of income is morally justified, how does he reconcile that with bitcoin dominance?
Definitely not for the faint of heart, those skilled and experienced venture capitalists entering the arena will be playing with fire. This is not a game of targeting an app and throwing seed money at developers located in Silicon Valley or Silicon Alley. Nor is it like catching the social media wave or jumping on the mobile payments bandwagon.
Bitcoin is the quintessential disruptor for not only does it disrupt established primary-level players in the field of payments, like VISA, Mastercard, and PayPal, but it disrupts the very nature of monetary authority. Bitcoin is disruption within supreme disruption.
Failing to recognize this maxim, especially as a venture capital investor, can be fraught with pitfalls. Regulatory acquiescence will be tempting, but counter-productive. In a company's strategic plan, relegation of bitcoin to just another national currency type among equals fails to exploit its incredible transformative properties. The venture capitalist could become boxed in by the lack of courage to set legal precedent, by the unwillingness to go overseas, or even by the reluctance of the board. To be fair, there will be VC plays in the regulation-friendly exchange space and processor space but they won't be the home runs!
The home runs will be transformative and that just may not be possible for a NewCo in all countries. I maintain that it is more a game of multiple jurisdictions that leverages the relative strengths of competing legal jurisdictions for the best foot into the global infrastructure.
Gibraltar made an early, and deliberate, strategic decision to embrace and promote the online gambling business. They executed it brilliantly and Gibraltar is now home to the industry's leaders like publicly-traded bwin.party [BPTY:London]. Just as with online gambling, some jurisdictions around the world will be more bitcoin-friendly than others. Negotiating that outcome is the real frontier.
Many readers have commented and agreed that the investment opportunities will revolve around bitcoin-related services more than any type of client software play or attempt to control the mining and transaction fees. While I generally agree, I also think that a new company does not have to be bitcoin focused exclusively.
Also, keeping bitcoin value in bitcoin on the block chain will be the key. It may be an opportunity that moves significantly beyond an existing business model simply by having bitcoin in its arsenal. For example, a third-world e-commerce platform could bring massive shopping to the unbanked by leveraging the non-national and frictionless attributes of bitcoin. Or, asset vehicles could be designed that transfer inter-generational wealth without the need for trusts or trust administrators.
So, my advice to VCs seeking their piece of the block chain is study the FATF blacklist of 15 non-cooperative countries, go to airports you never heard of, and most importantly, surround yourself with management teams that mentally embrace bitcoin's powerful derivative byproducts.
Follow author on Twitter.
Those are some sobering and deep thoughts and they better be heard.
Brilliant thoughts Jon, thank you.
Wow, beautifully stated, Matonis. As always, your points are spot on, though I think your level of eloquence went one notch higher on this one.
Indeed, Bitcoin VC's will be not just on the frontier of tech business, but on the frontier of monetary economics and even moral and political philosophy itself.
I think it's misleading to say Bitcoin is incompatible with income tax, for several reasons:
1) Most people get their income from a salary, and companies already can/do tell tax collectors directly how much they are paying you.
2) It's possible to implement tax collection schemes for things like sales taxes with Bitcoin, by incentivizing purchasers to report transactions. For businesses that get their income from sales to people or other businesses, that income can therefore also be tracked.
Our company has been 'lurking' on the periphery of the Bitcoin space since last summer. Our initial concerns, as a payment processor, revolved around potential fraud (such as that which hit the Tradehill/Dwolla relationship last year) and the compliance issues of AML/KYC.
After 11 months of 'homework', we have entered into what we feel will be an amazing relationship with a Bitcoin processor that seems to be setting a new standard within the Bitcoin community by providing a fully compliant platform.
After all of the time spent in research, and in working with some of the key entrepreneurs that shaping the next generation of Bitcoin platforms, it seems a shame that it still seems to be known more as an anonymous underground 'currency', rather than the international alternative payment method that it seems to be growing into.
ECommerce is focused mainly on credit cards, but the truth is that only a small % of the world's population is credit-card centric. Bitcoins is a way to possibly level that playing field, by providing a truly global exchange medium for anyone to use.
I don't know where this will go, or how it will all wind up – but I know from first hand experience that there are many in the community that are not at all concerned with hiding their identity or buying illegal/illicit goods – they simply want to build the proverbial 'better mousetrap'.
Is it Bitcoin? I don't know yet – but we plan to see what we can do to help it along!
Jon – I can't give out too many details yet – but the background of the people involved in the project is strong – decades of payments compliance background in highly regulated, high risk verticals. Licensed MSBs with a strong understanding of what we need to do, and what we cannot do.
No one is jumping in 'headfirst' – in fact, the reason for the new separate product is to provide our processing partners the ability to choose whether or not they want to be involved, and to mitigate any potential risk to our existing platform and it's merchants.
While we don't get to decide how Bitcoin is used – we DO get to decide who gets to use our platform, and that, ultimately, will have a great deal of effect on how it is used in the long run.
Love your columns!
Jon, not all people using Bitcoin are American, maybe you should look at Bitcoin from a Russian or Somali point of view.
Second all the companies you mentioned like Visa, PayPal and Mastercard do have 3 things in common, first they are all American, second they are all monopolies and third they are all data miner, data collector and data scraper. I as an non American does not necessarily want to give all my personal information to one of this companies, they might decide one day I am an terrorist and there is nothing I can do about this.
This companies you mentioned made enough money and I am sure in future will still make enough with or without the Bitcoin. So don't be so negative about the Bitcoin it almost sounds if you where sponsored by one of them.
All the best Trader
If governments can no longer tax transactions, and an income tax is an example of this category, then they will switch to something they can tax, namely assets.
Asset taxes already exist, the ones on real property at the state and local level in the US being a prominent example. So when I say "no longer tax" above, it is not a binary either-or situation. To the extent transaction taxes fail to satisfy their appetite for revenues, governments will shift more heavily to other forms like assets.
For those activities deemed illicit, seizure amounts to a 100% tax on assets the government can find, and the IRS already seizes assets when they feel income taxes are deficient. So the tools are already in place, and await sufficient need to be used more heavily.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Norman police will be on the lookout to reward children with safety citations in an effort to recognize, acknowledge and reward safe behavior displayed by children.
When a traffic officer sees a child behaving in a safe, responsible manner — especially on a bicycle — the officer can issue the child a safety citation that is redeemable for a free custard at Freddy's Frozen Custard, Capt. Tom Easley said.
"What we're trying to do overall is enforce safe behavior, especially amongst children," Easley said.
Children ages 17 and under can receive and redeem the safety citations. Easley said the rewards may also be extended to other circumstances as well, such as safely crossing streets and obeying traffic signals.
Only traffic officers carry the safety citations and are authorized to issue them. The Norman Police Department currently has two traffic officers, both on motorcycles. The citations are limited to the two officers because the department doesn't want to abuse the generosity of people like those at Freddy's Frozen Custard, Easley said.
Some details are still up in the air, as far as how long the tickets will be passed out. Easley said they may just print a set amount of tickets and hand them out until they run out.
Last week, the final versions were getting printed. Officers will give out the safety citations soon, if they're not already, he said.
The program was made possible with the coordinating assistance from people who made an effort to reach out and talk to Freddy's Frozen Custard. Once they were on board, Sgt. Tim Smith and Lt. Jim Keesee asked to use the police department's logos on the safety citations and it was run through the chain of command, Easley said.
"All the way from the chief down ... it was approved to go. Then it was only a matter of getting them printed up and getting the design finalized," he said.

Super Mario Galaxy Reviewby Chris Remo, Nov 14, 2007 12:09pm PST
This year has, and continues to be, been an undeniably strong one for gaming in terms of the quality and number of releases. I dread the day when it comes time to start putting together our Game of the Year awards. Many of 2007's greats make important advancements in the art of interactive storytelling, or achieve impressive technical feats, or create incredibly well-conceived worlds. None, however, revels in the pure joy of gameplay as much as does Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo's first marquee Mario platformer on the Wii and the system's clear holiday season system seller. Super Mario Galaxy is Nintendo's attempt to restore dignity to 3D platforming, and at that it is a resounding success. In recent years, games calling themselves "platformers" have become little more than action games with jumping thrown in, a far cry from the ambitious template set out by Super Mario 64 in 1996. For some perspective, some of the best 3D platforming in the last generation was seen in the non-waterpack levels of Super Mario Sunshine--a game most regard as a bit of a misstep--and the excellent Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which would still be characterized by most as an "action/adventure." Central to Galaxy is its non-stop sense of discovery and variety, paired with its impeccable control and feel. This is an absolute smorgasbord of platforming gameplay. It feels as if the EAD Tokyo team behind the game felt it needed to compensate on the part of the entire industry for a decade of weak 3D platforming.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
The multi-episode series On the Waterways is a fun documentary that takes the viewer along with a young ship crew of college-age adventurers and introduces us to the many individuals and communities that lie alongside a body of water, while highlighting the important role that water has played in the development of towns and economies throughout the United States. Narrated by the late actor Jason Robards, On the Waterways may look and feel a bit outdated but it still stands up as an entertaining and educational examination on the relationship between humans and their environment.

The Sabres' division was already getting a shake-up with the arrival of Detroit, Florida and Tampa Bay. Longtime rival Boston is intent on changing things, too.
The Bruins have sent center Tyler Seguin, plus Rich Peverley and defense prospect Ryan Button, to the Lindy Ruff-coached Dallas Stars for Loui Eriksson, Joe Morrow, Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser, according to TSN.
Seguin, selected second in the 2010 draft, had 16 goals and 32 points in 48 games. He slumped in the playoffs, though, as Boston lost the Stanley Cup to Chicago. Seguin had one goal and eight points in 22 postseason games.
Eriksson had 12 goals and 29 points in 48 games. The 27-year-old scored between 26 and 36 goals in each of the previous four seasons.

Part 1 in a Series of Articles
By Joan Kloth-Zanard, RSS, ABI and LC
A heart-wrenching court case is going to begin on the 3rd floor of the New Haven Superior Court. Jerry Mastrangelo, a father who has shared joint legal custody of his 13-year-old triplets since December 2007, has not seen them in almost 2 years. One might ask why. Is he a bad father, did he do something wrong, did he abuse them or the mother? The answer to all of these questions is apparently, No. Instead, he is the victim or targeted parent of alienation.
Mastrangelo's rights to maintain a relationship with his children are fundamental rights protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. When those rights are violated, the courts should be applying strict scrutiny to any of those statutes that directly and substantially impair those rights." (P.O.P.S. v. Gardner, 998 F2d 764 (9th Cir. 1993)) According to Mr. Mastrangelo, this is his constitutional right as a US citizen.
To keep ones children from a biological parent when there is no evidence of that parent being unfit is a crime, which is why Mr. Mastrangelo hired, Mr. Pattis, a high profile criminal attorney, who rarely if ever, steps foot in a family court. According to Mr. Mastrangelo, his attorney would rather be in criminal court on the 5th floor than in a family courtroom. It seems that Mr. Pattis is very cognizant of the extremely emotional trauma that occurs when a parent creates a contentious divorce and custody situation by isolating the children from the other parent. Starting on September 11, Mr. Pattis will be trying to reunite Mr. Mastrangelo with his children in a highly publicized court case. He believes that denying a good, loving parent from having a parent/child relationship, is a crime.
The crime we are talking about here has several names. It is called Parental Alienation, Hostile Aggressive Parenting, Parentectomy or simply, PAS. It is a form of psychological abuse where one parent deliberately undermines the relationship between the children and the other parent using bullying, manipulation and scare tactics. In fact, it involves any action that impedes with a child having a healthy relationship with the other parent.
Mr. Mastrangelo was recently interviewed by Mary Jones on WDRC-AM and Vinnie Penn on WELI-AM 960. In addition to these local media outlets, this case has captured the attention on a Regional and National level thanks to Ann Baldwin, a media specialist and president of Baldwin Media Marketing. Calls to Mr. Mastrangelo's ex-wife's for her response to this story were not returned.

In Fairview football coach Nathan McPeek's mind, there are no more gimmes in the Class A playoffs.
Fairview hosts Nicholas County while Raceland travels to play Pikeville on Friday, with a possible regional final meeting between the Rams and Eagles looming.
Both teams cruised in blowout wins last week — Fairview beat Phelps 69-0 and Raceland beat Allen Central 60-0, but McPeek knows it will be a fight from here on out.
"Phelps was 0-9 and they played hard," McPeek said. "But we had more players and we overmatched them. We handled our business early and got our younger guys some playing time."
For the fourth time in two seasons, Fairview will go up against Nicholas County. The past three meetings all went to Fairview.
The last game occurred on Oct. 19, when the Eagles defeated the Bluejackets, 36-7, at Nicholas County.
According to McPeek, a lot has changed in the past three weeks for Nicholas County. And a lot has changed since the Eagles survived with just a 28-14 second round playoff win over the Bluejackets a year ago.
"We're playing a good Nicholas County team that picked up a good win last week (35-28 over South Floyd)," McPeek said. "Last year we ended up winning, but they had good game plan prepared for us. I told our team on Monday that if they have a bad game we'll be collecting our gear and staying home."
Leading the way for Nicholas County (7-4) is running back Austin Allison, who has run for more than 1,200 yards this season and has over 20 touchdowns.
Against Fairview (11-0) earlier this season, Allison was held in check for only 63 yards. But that doesn't mean McPeek has taken his eyes off of the senior running back.
"We did a pretty good job on him earlier in the season, but he did get loose a couple of times," McPeek said. "He's really strong and has powerful legs. He's a really good defensive player too."
With a win on Friday, Fairview would find itself in a third straight region championship game. With a win next week, McPeek and Fairview would win their first region championship.
But McPeek knows that getting there the past three years has continued to build the Fairview program up.
"The more playoff games we play the more experience we get and the better the program becomes," McPeek said. "We've been up in the region championship game the past two years and if I could go back I would have done things a little differently.
"We have to win and focus on Friday first," he added.
For Raceland (9-2), the problem might not be looking forward, it may involve looking back.
Last season the Rams' season ended at Pikeville in a 54-21 loss. Earlier this season Raceland returned the favor with a 54-14 win on Aug. 31 at home.
Raceland coach T.J. Maynard said this time will be different than the previous two meetings.
"I don't think our guys have forgotten last year," Maynard said. "This time around will be a different challenge than our first meeting this season. We met them in the third week of the season and they were a young football team. Those guys have improved a bunch since then."
Maynard credits the evolution of running back Chase Hall, who eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark this season, and Pikeville's dual-quarterback system featuring Austin Charles and Ben Maynard for the Panthers' improvement.
Changing players around, and switching some players up, have the Panthers on a five-game winning streak.
"Again the No. 1 thing is we have to stop Hall," Maynard said. "Watching the tape they have guys in different spots and they're rotating two quarterbacks, it gives them a different dynamic."
One of the main things Raceland wants to prepare for is Pikeville's artificial turf field.
And with his players off of school on Tuesday, Maynard bussed his team over to Coal Grove High School to practice on the Hornets' artificial turf.
"It was a good opportunity for us to try something different and see how the guys handled it and make it more comfortable for Friday," Maynard said. "I've known coach (Dave) Lucas a long time and he and Coal Grove were gracious enough to let us use their facilities."
Even with the possible rematch of district rivals next Friday, both coaches' strategies are the same for Friday's game — stay focused.
"We have to be ready every single Friday from now on," Maynard said. "If we don't there is no next week, so we have to keep our focus and our intensity up."

We have taken Kyolic Garlic products for over 20 years now & have never been dissappointed with their excellent quality. When we started eating according to Kosher guidelines, we were suddenly aware that most of their capsules are not from vegan sources, but are instead from gelatin that comes from unkosher animals. We were soooo happy to find that our favorite "Kyolic Formula 102" has "Veggie Caps"!!!!

The Handmaid's Taleby Margaret Atwood
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the world of the near future, who will control women's bodies?
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valued if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now....
Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force.
"A novel that brilliantly illuminates some of the darker interconnections between politics and sex....Just as the world of Orwell's 1984 gripped our imaginations, so will the world of Atwood's handmaid!" The Washington Post Book World
"The Handmaid's Tale deserves the highest praise." The San Francisco Chronicle
"Atwood takes many trends which exist today and stretches them to their logical and chilling conclusions....An excellent novel about the directions our lives are taking....Read it while it's still allowed." Houston Chronicle
"Splendid." Newsweek
"[A] taut thriller, a psychological study, a play on words. It has a sense of humor about itself, as well as an ambivalence toward even its worst villains." Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
"The most poetically satisfying and intense of all Atwood's novels." Maclean's
"The Handmaid's Tale is in the honorable tradition of Brave New World and other warnings of dystopia. It's imaginative, even audacious, and conveys a chilling sense of fear and menace." The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"The Handmaid's Tale brings out the very best in Atwood — moral vision, biting humor, and a poet's imagination." Chatelaine
First published in 1985, The Handmaid's Tale is a novel of such power that the reader is unable to forget its images and its forecast. With more than two million copies in print, it is Margaret Atwood's most popular and compelling novel. Set in the near future, it describes life in what once was the United States, now called the Republic of Gilead. Reacting to social unrest, and a sharply declining birthrate, the new regime has reverted to — even gone beyond — the repressive tolerance of the original Puritans.
About the Author
Margaret Atwood is the author of more than twenty-five books, including fiction, poetry, and essays. Her most recent works include the bestselling novels Alias Grace and The Robber Bride and the collections Wilderness Tips and Good Bones and Simple Murders. She lives in Toronto.

By BEN JOHNSON
Sports Editor
After being void from the calendar last season, Tahlequah's annual basketball tournament is back. And it's back with a vengeance this year.
"Looking at the tournament brackets across the state this week," Tahlequah boys coach Mike Leafgreen said, "I think we have the best boys side bracket in the state."
The Edmond Open and Bixby Invitational figure to have strong fields with Class 5A and 6A teams, too, but Leafgreen filled out an eight-team bracket that includes his club, Moore, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Muskogee, Coweta, Enid and SOYLA (Save Our Youth Leadership Academy).
Not bad at all.
"Moore and Coweta are both pretty good," Leafgreen said of the Lions (15th in 6A) and the Tigers (seventh in 5A), respectively. "There will be some teams that go 1-2 and are better than that."
For Tahlequah, the tournament kicks off against Sapulpa on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at the TMAC. SOYLA and Muskogee will follow at 2:30 p.m.; Coweta and Enid will square off at 5:30 p.m.; and Moore and Sand Springs will play the nightcap at 8:30 p.m.
The first round of the tournament will be only the second games of the season for both Tahlequah and Sapulpa. Yet, Leafgreen knows what to expect from the Chieftains.
"They're going to be very athletic," he said. "We saw them last year in the Shawnee tournament, and they can shoot the ball really well. We have to limit them to one shot and go score on the other end."
In order to slow down Sapulpa's starting five of DeShawn Zachary, Sam Gottsch, Ben Johnson, Sam Johnson and Larry Marshall, Tahlequah will have to avoid another repeat performance like it had against Skiatook in a 63-60, season-opening loss last week.
"We will have to get back to playing defense like we did last spring — like we did last year in the Shrine tournament," Leafgreen said. "We can't do that we did the other night. If we do that, we can get beat by anyone."
On offense against Skiatook, Lain Wright led Tahlequah — and all scorers — with 28 points. However, he was the only Tiger to score in double figures.
"On the offensive end, we'll be fine," Leafgreen said. "We had the open looks [against Skiatook]. Having your best shooters taking your shots is what you want. We won't have another game like that."
Lady Tigers open with Sand Springs
The Tahlequah girls will kick off the tournament Thursday at 1 p.m. against Sand Springs — a mystery team to Tahlequah coach Chad Walker.
"All I know about (Sand Springs) is Bishop Kelley beat them by five," Walker said. "Don't know anything about them.
"According to a couple of coaches that I've talked to, they have a couple of guards who aren't real good. The do have a good post girl who can score and grab rebounds."
The Tahlequah-Sand Springs winner will advance to take on the winner of Moore-Muskogee JV, which is the first game of the tournament on Thursday at 10 a.m. The other side of the bracket features Muskogee-Oklahoma City Southeast (7 p.m. Thursday) and Rogers Heritage (Ark.)-Yukon (4 p.m. Thursday).
"It's going to be a good tournament," Walker said. "It's an athletically-packed tournament."
Muskogee and Tahlequah are the only two ranked teams, but with a field packed with 6A schools, Walker knows the competition will still be stout.
"You can get plenty of tough games against 5A competition," he said, "but our philosophy has been, 'the harder, the better.' We want our girls to understand what it takes to win against the best teams; we don't want our girls taking it lightly."
Much like its opener against Skiatook, Tahlequah will be without Desiree Phipps, who Walker said should return next week against Bishop Kelley after enduring a severe illness prior to the beginning of the season. The Lady Tigers, though, will have Jhonett Cookson, who had 16 points and 12 rebounds against Skiatook in the opener, despite also not feeling well herself.
"If she's going to play like that under the weather," Walker said of Cookson, "I want her under the weather every game."

Best movies of 2009 - Betsy Sharkey
Image 1 of 10
'Up in the Air'
This evocative blend of mood, material and actors, with a far more confident Jason Reitman in the director's chair, made for an extremely satisfying flight of fancy in which emotion and insight, comedy and drama were always in balance. Excellent performances all around, but George Clooney (above with costar Vera Farmiga) is at his best as a traveling corporate downsizing whiz, which means, sadly, the timing couldn't be much better either.
By Times Film Critic Betsy Sharkey

Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan made it clear what he thinks will be different with the Lions' offense with QB Shaun Hill at the helm.
"Nothing at all. Nothing changes," he said.
The Lions will turn to Hill, who has a 10-6 career record as a starter, until QB Matthew Stafford's shoulder is healed. It could be 4-6 weeks, but sources say that Stafford might miss up to eight weeks.
Linehan knows Hill well, spending three years coaching him with the Vikings and recommended the team go after the ninth-year veteran in the offseason.
"Shaun has a gift of making everything work," Linehan said. "He has his background in this system with me, which helps him; it's an adjustment with these players that he's been working with quite a bit. He threw to them all preseason and in practice though, so he's very, very comfortable with what we're doing and I can't wait to see Shaun get out there and give it another shot to start. It's not his first rodeo."
The worst part of the injury to Stafford, though, might be the timing. The Lions face the Eagles, Vikings and Packers in the next three games, with the two divisional contests coming on the road. Unless Stafford makes an unheard-of recovery, he'll miss all three.
What makes Hill's first start even more difficult is that the run game struggled overall in the opener against the Bears, even though rookie Jahvid Best had two nice TD runs. Linehan said that the blockers didn't "create enough space" to open holes for Best and Co. So unless they do so against the Eagles, defending Hill will be a lot easier for Philly.
One thing that Lions pass catchers noticed right away this offseason was the difference between the ball speed of Stafford and Hill. Stafford has one of the league's stronger arms; Hill would be considered to have average arm strength.
"There aren't that many people that throw the ball like Matthew does from a velocity standpoint and those kinds of things," Linehan said, "but Shaun does it a different way and he gets it done a different way by running the same plays."

The next time you see Raleigh Word of God basketball standout John Wall, do yourself and him a favor and don't ask him where he is going to go to school next year.
That's the advice of national basketball recruiting expert Dave Telep, the head man of scout.com's basketball recruiting.
Telep is asked almost as much as Wall about where the top-ranked point guard in the country is going to college.
He can imagine what it must be like for Wall, who is asked dozens of times a week about his college decision.
"This is what you need to do," Telep said. "Go to the game and enjoy watching an extraordinary player.
"He has been a treasure to the community -- filling our gymnasiums and bringing a lot of excitement to our area.
"But at this point, we should allow him to enjoy his last few weeks of high school basketball."
Wall's college decision will play out in a matter of weeks, not days or hours, Telep said.
Telep said one of the hardest things to explain to people who follow recruiting is that making a college decision takes a lot of thought for some players.
"I don't envy these guys," Telep said. "I imagine John feels like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is 18 years old and is facing a big decision. He needs some room and some time.
"I don't think you're going to wake up one morning and see that he made a sudden decision."
Wall is a national celebrity.
During the GlaxoSmithKline Invitational, television crews followed him around.
He would stop to speak to a friend and the cameras would roll.
An ESPN crew spent two days with him this week.
"John is in a good situation, the situation most players would love to be in, but I don't envy him," Telep said.
About 90 of Telep's top 100 already have committed, but three of his top six -- No. 1 6-foot-9 Derrick Favors of South Atlanta, Ga.; Wall (No. 2) and No. 6 6-9 1/2 DeMarcus Cousins of Mobile (Ala.) LeFlore -- have not announced decisions.
Some high school players relish the attention they receive during the decision-making process, but Telep said that isn't the case with these three players.
It is a tough decision. An important decision. And each of the player's options have positives and negatives.
N.C. State is involved with the three top-flight players. Favors has narrowed his choices to Georgia Tech, Georgia and State.
Wall's list may not be his finalists, but he has been most interested in State, Duke, Memphis, Baylor, Oregon and Kansas.
Cousins seemed headed to UAB in the fall because Mike Davis is the coach.
"It is a complicated situation, but DeMarcus wants to play for Davis," Telep said.
Cousins was willing to sign with UAB, but only under the condition that Davis would be the coach next fall.
The national letter doesn't work that way. The letter binds players to schools regardless of who is coaching.
That three of the top six players are interested in State is a testament to the staff and its pursuit of excellence.
"N.C. State has a great foundation with Favors and Wall," Telep said, "and State has worked hard to build a relationship with Cousins."
State is still involved with those three players because it has worked at it.
ADAMS GETS RECORD: Garrius Adams showed perfect timing Monday night when he set the Middle Creek High boys basketball scoring record.
Adams' 3-pointer against Millbrook with 10 seconds left sent the game into overtime. Middle Creek eventually won 57-51 in overtime.
The University of Miami recruit finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Adams is a three-year starter at Middle Creek and now has 1,367 points, including 24 in a 79-45 win over Fuquay-Varina on Tuesday.
LACROSSE DINNER: A dinner was held Wednesday night at Athens Drive in honor of its three lacrosse players who have accepted scholarships -- Tom Padden (Wingate); Evan Cumalander (Hampden-Sydney) and Josh Liptak (Catawba).

Ben Weber successfully defends thesis on Mobile Map BrowsersNovember 30th, 2010
Benjamin T. Weber successfully defended his thesis on November 22 on the topic of Mobile Map Browsers: Anticipated User Interaction for Data Pre-fetching
When browsing a graphical display of geospatial data on mobile devices, users typically change the displayed maps by panning, zooming in and out, or rotating the device. Limited storage space on mobile devices and slow wireless communications, however, impede the performance of these operations. To overcome the bottleneck that all map data to be displayed on the mobile device need to be downloaded on demand, this thesis investigates how anticipated user interactions affect intelligent pre-fetching so that an on-demand download session is extended incrementally. User interaction is defined as a set of map operations that each have corresponding effects on the spatial dataset required to generate the display. By anticipating user interaction based on past behavior and intuition on when waiting for data is acceptable, it is possible to device a set of strategies to better prepare the device with data for future use.
Users that engage with interactive map displays for a variety of tasks, whether it be navigation, information browsing, or data collection, experience a dynamic display to accomplish their goal. With vehicular navigation, the display might update itself as a result of a GPS data stream reflecting movement through space. This movement is not random, especially as is the case of moving vehicles and, therefore, this thesis suggests that mobile map data could be pre-fetched in order to improve usability. Pre-fetching memory-demanding spatial data can benefit usability in several ways, but in particular it can (1) reduce latency when downloading data over wireless connections and (2) better prepare a device for situations where wireless internet connectivity is weak or intermittent.
This thesis investigates mobile map caching and devises an algorithm for pre-fetching data on behalf of the application user. Two primary models are compared: isotropic (direction-independent) and anisotropic (direction-dependent) pre-fetching. A pre-fetching simulation is parameterized with many trajectories that vary in complexity (a metric of direction change within the trajectory) and it is shown that, although anisotropic pre-fetching typically results in a better pre-fetching accuracy, it is not ideal for all scenarios. This thesis suggests a combination of models to accommodate the significant variation in moving object trajectories. In addition, other methods for pre-fetching spatial data are proposed for future research.
