We weren't worth mentioning by name in the body of the article, apparently, but there we are, in footnote 5.

The traditional, dominant method for getting academic work, research and ideas reviewed and accepted by peers is for work to be published via a recognised source. Publication in a acknowledged journal demonstrates the work meets a required standard for acceptance into the academic community.When an academic is working on an idea at a very low level they may call upon colleagues within their department to revise and pass comments. However, this process is less well suited for work that is at the "working or draft stage"; i.e., not quite ready for submission for publication, but well past the beginning stages of development. It would be ideal if a wider body of reviewers could assess the work. --David Tosh and Ben Werdmuller

Mary Ann Gawelek, center, looks right at me as if she's thinking, "Uh-oh, this photo's going on the weblog."

Come, learn, and discuss a major problem concerning our generation.
I'm thrilled to announce that Anne Stadler, Setonian editor-in-chief, has earned a second-place award for her editorials, in the 2005 Keystone Press Awards.
Anne was also quoted at length in the March 2005 issue of the newsletter.
Anne does a tremendous job inspiring and guiding an amazing staff. I'm honored to work so closely with her, as well as with all the Setonians.
Sorry about the blogging outage. Apparently we were under a heavy spam attack that overloaded the system. It was possible to read blogs, but not post or comment, for about eight hours. Some of you e-mailed your homework to me. Good for you. Others started doing your work in your word processors. Good for you, too.
Blogs were out for about eight hours. The EL150 portfolio due Wednesday will be extended until Thursday. I don't see the need to extend the EL267 portfolio, which will still be due Thursday.
