Your submissions must be processed by a
person at the Mathworks. (I assume it is our
favorite Mathworks administrator, Helen
Chen.) So anything submitted on a Friday
will probably not appear until the following
Monday. And, since she has other duties to
attend to, if you submit during the week, it
may take a day or so to appear if things are
busy. Note that the Matlab contest is being
run just now. I'll bet this has Helen and her
colleagues busier than normal for the next
few days.

Please don't resubmit it, as this will just
confuse things, possibly resulting in
duplicated submissions since Helen is not
screening for that. It will also make for
more work for her and more of a backlog
for others to wait. If you got to the page
that tells you your submission has been
sent, then it will appear in due time. Only
if it has been at least (business) 3 days in
the Boston area should you begin to 
worry what happened, and I'd start with
a friendly e-mail first.
