Dear Readers: This weekend Olafur Brentmar of our news
posting team will be working at the Santa Cruz Industrial Hemp Expo at the
TradeWinds as their herbalist.

Auditorium. More than 70 vendors / speakers & panels Educational &
Historical Displays Hemp House / Hemp Food / Hemp Fashion Show - Info:
408-425-3003 / http://www.dancing-designs.com/cruzexpo

If you visit the show, please say HI to Olafur. Additionally, Olafur, who
has translated some news items from Sweden for us is working on a version of
this service for Sweden. If anyone wishes to help with his effort, drop him
a note.

Speaking of translations, we have added a link for translating articles to
the main DrugNews page at http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/ that says 'Use the
AltaVista Babelfish to translate the articles into French, German, Italian,
Portuguese and Spanish.' So now you can have articles translated to send to
friends. Computer translations may not always produce good results, but the
translations should get the message across.

If anyone tries it, I would be interested in opinions on how well it works.
