      I found this article interesting because I believe in equality, and hope that the vote proves successful. The three qualities of newsworthiness that this article contains are importance/impact, timeliness, and conflict. The story is of importance, and has the potential to greatly impact many people, because the vote it's discussing may result in the allowance of same-sex couples to marry, and the extension of health and social benefits to these pairs. Should the vote be successful, hundreds of couples will be allotted rights equal to those of heterosexual couples. The article is timely, because the Senate decided just yesterday that this vote would be included in the May primaries. Finally, the article involves conflict between conservatives who are against the vote as a whole, and fear for its outcome, and supporters of gay rights, who are hoping for a positive outcome, and continuously battling for equality.

    The business plan of Varsity Monitor is simple. Major universities like North Carolina, Nebraska and Oklahoma pay $7,000 to $10,000 a year and Varsity Monitor keeps an online eye on their athletes. Among the services the company and others like it provide is a computer application that searches social media sites that athletes are active on, looking for obscenities, offensive commentary or words like "free," which could indicate that a player has accepted a gift in violation of N.C.A.A. rules.

      I thought this was interesting because I couldn't believe with all the security at stadiums that a man managed to sneak in a stun gun and use it especially so close to September 11th. Proximity: Jets Stadium Human Interest/Emotion: People may be angered by this happening Timeliness: A couple days ago Conflict: Leroy uses stun gun on three men Unusual Nature: People usually don't have the chance to sneak a weapon in a stadium especially so close to September 11th with all the security.
