EDITOR'S NOTES: WEEKLY FEATURES CHANGES
Beginning the week of Oct. 6, the Weekly Features "Women's Health" and "Kids Health Matters" will be replaced by a new health feature, "Health Matters." The new feature will offer the same great health explainers but won't focus on kids or women specifically. Also that week, the Weekly Feature "Personal Finance" will be discontinued. A new Weekly Feature, "Music Downloads," will be introduced that week. The new graphic tracks weekly iTunes music downloads in the U.S., U.K. and Spain and can be edited by clients to include countries of their own choosing. Comments or questions?
