Could you fill us in on how the flexidnode helps make a newswire? How 
did you use it?

firstly, I have forced every story into a 'newsire' catagory

I originally used the taxonomy_block module:
http://drupal.org/node/15192

We found it didn't apply theme very well so we made a custom module that 
grabs the last 10 stories in the 'newswire' catagory, and displays them 
appropriately. You can have a copy if you want.
