In Recovery
A little while back we started having problems with our web server and the backend database, as well as sundry other glitches. Unfortunately, our quick fixes and various work-arounds weren't enough. It turns out our problems were deeper than an errant setting. We've finally figured what's been going on and are in the process of getting stuff fixed--After we take a deep breath or two, get some much needed sleep, get another issue of the paper out, train some more interns, deal with all of the other problems that arise everyday, etc. Hopefully our web world will be somewhat back to normal this weekend, or thereabouts. Our apologies.
