Dear Readers,

Please accept our apology for the duplicate posting of several articles in
the last 24 hours. We, clearly, need to improve our methods of handing off
the workload between the editors.

Thanks to all our many Newshawks who helped make our coverage better of the
important news items of the last week. Please understand that sometimes we
receive the same item from a number of Newshawks. When we can, we give
credit to each. However, sometimes we miss the fact that we have more than
one copy of an article until after it is posted.

For those who may believe we do not give enough coverage to your interests,
or area, please help us. What we post reflects what we are being sent by
volunteer Newshawks. You can help! Please drop me a note if you would like
to be a Newshawk and need instructions.
