I am not too sure what the specific complaint is.. if it is that you can't 
make yesterday happen again, and so are at a loss to see how to watch the 
program that has gone off into thin air, then I have recorded the program 
and can place it in media library sometime on friday, so it can be viewed 
at your leisure (although be advised that there may be  seinfeld/westwing 
and/or fawlty towers stuff on the same cassette--I didn't know I will be 
lending the cassette).

If the complaint is that one shouldn't be made to watch no tv program (or 
come to a class, for that matter ;-), okay--in that case you can 
still  submit on Tuesday with a 10% penalty.
