One of my greatest sources of pride has been the success of my PhD students.  I have learned a great deal from their work especially as they often research in areas that are rather tangential to my own areas of expertise.  I might as well promote them here since I am tied to them via an unbreakable vow.  I will be keeping a list of their publications and other accomplishments at my blog.
