The 2008 Q2 issue of BNA Topics will be late. Production difficulties have been encountered, and the journal issue will not appear until later this summer.

However, it is anticipated that publication of BNA Topics will get back on schedule later this year. The Publications Committee and Editor Doug Sayles offer their apologies to BNAPS members, and thank them for their patience.
