It would be ideal if the Beat author would mark the table as complete. 
Less work for us, keeps the responsibility with the primary content
producer (who is the one that knows best what the situation is).  All we
have to do is to clear the table after each issue is posted out. 

I don't think I understand why we would include empty beats in a ToC or
am I misunderstanding? Would be sending out a newsletter that has
multiple empty sections with headings for them and a piece of stub-text
saying "nothing this week"?
