Items which are up to seven days old have a 'NEW' indicator shown next to them. The first line of the news item is shown (without formatting) as well as the headline (which when clicked drills down to the News Item detail).
- Individual news and events items can also be configured to display in their entirety (including all formatting and included images) on the home page.

Compact summaries can be configured (via Preferences) to display in either the left or right bars of the site, and also can be configured to display on only the home page, any other page, or all pages.
