Thanks, Nancy - it actually was on our home page until just recently  
when we had a crash and had to resurrect an old template - thanks for  
the reminder -- I'll put it back. It is on our News page.
http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/news/index.html

I haven't pushed it a lot yet as things were VERY slow newswise over  
the summer, so I've just been playing with it. Now that things are  
beginning to liven up, we will be doing so.

For those interested, we tweet at mitaeroastro (clever devils that we  
are).
Best,
Bill
