All the grades have been posted as homework #9.  There were some problems w/ the formatting of the files that I uploaded this afternoon.  The files that I just uploaded at 10:15 PM look OK.

I'm still missing quiz 1 grades for these people:  Karen Fleming, Jenny Carrol, Brian Edwards, Tuan Ho.
Please bring these quizzes to the final so that I can report the grades.  Thanks.
