I found FEN when I took stochastic calc at the Courant. It was a really awesome resource. I recall one article in particular in a "learning corner" type column on Wiener processes that was truly top notch - *very* accessible yet sophisticated enough to be useful to FE students.
It was sad to see them fold, and sad^2 to learn the domain has gone.
There used to be a fantastic magazine called "Quantum" that folded in mid-2001. I didn't learn about it until after it was gone, but a colleague gave me a bunch of issues. It was a truly spectacular magazine. Definitely on the graduate student level. It was probably more entertaining for math, physics, and engineering grad students, but anyone with a technical background would appreciate it. They had really weird and exotic articles like Taylor-like expansions using Legendre polynomials, how Bessel functions arise in nature, some truly wicked brain teasers, introduction to geometric algebras, etc.
They have a tiny sample, only a few pages, available:

I've been meaning to scan what few issues I have and upload them somewhere so people can enjoy them.
It's really sad to see such great resources for students evaporate.
BTW, I tried emailing the owner of fenews.com. His email address on the whois database is dead. No way of reaching him unless someone knows him personally.
