Some very very sad news:  Elizabeth Hamman (aka @mathfaery), who wrote MathFaery: Making Math Magical, passed away very suddenly on Saturday, July 17, 2010.  I will share funeral arrangements and other information as I get it. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.  She was a rising star in the math community and it was too soon to lose her.
