News section on main page messed up

[Richard S. Hall]

It doesn't appear that the "news" blurbs are coming up correctly on our 
main page any more. We used to use some sort of "except" mechanism to 
pull some from the news page, but that doesn't appear to be working any 
more and we are just seeing one single bullet point with a much of junk 
in it.

Any ideas?
