Discussed here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=74288 http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=74289 There's extra formatting discussed on that first link. I do not see anything about running them side by side though, just the "2 days of articles only" bit. Sorry.
You can have both types of sitemaps updloaded when you want, together or separately. Here's a tutorial on creating news sitemaps.
Keep in mind that you must be an approved Google News Source before submitting a news sitemap. A lot of people think that you can just submit the news sitemap and be included. You must apply and wait to hear back from them. Then, if approved, you have to wait for spidering, which can take six weeks. After that, you can submit your news sitemap and your stories will usually be included within a few minutes.
Hey, what do you want ask about? If you want see how many your indexed url, you can type : site:www.yoursite.com in google search box.
