      I think this is news worthy because it talks about a money loss that effected a huge event at our school. It effected a mass amount of people involved with the show and the students that go to see the show. Prominence- This is a very important part of Central events. Importance and Impact- This effects a majority of the student body. Proximity- This happened at Hunterdon Central Meaning- Helps the students understand why the show is less extravagant that year. Unusual Nature- This hasnt happened in the part most recent years of HCRHS history.

    Hunterdon Central Regional High School's annual Cabaret has seen major changes this year due to budget cuts, but did not fall short of amazing people like it has for over the last 3 decades. Due to this year's budget cuts, Hunterdon Central had to make some significant changes to this year's Cabaret. The show saw multiple cuts which included a decrease in the number of acts, two of the directors were cut, and the Cabaret chorus was not seen at all at this years show. This year's Cabaret was directed only by Mr. Magalio which was one of the things that led to the significantly less amount of acts.

Senate Passes Six-Month Spending Bill To Avoid Government Shutdown - 0 views

  •  
    "WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate passed a bill Wednesday to keep the federal government running after March 27, approving a six-month spending measure that adds to the unpopular cuts of sequestration. The $984 billion "continuing resolution" passed by a vote of 73 to 26. It makes additional across-the-board cuts of 1.9 percent to 2.5 percent in various categories of spending on top of the $85 billion in annual cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 -- the infamous deal that created the failed super committee and the resulting budget sequestration that slices $1.2 trillion over a decade."

Obama Will Veto Super-Committee Plan That's All Medicare Cuts And No Tax Hikes - 0 views

  • WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will veto a comprehensive deficit reduction package if it includes cuts to entitlement program benefits but no tax hikes on the wealthy or well-to-do corporations, senior advisers said on Sunday. The veto threat is an addendum of sorts to a $3 trillion-plus set of deficit reduction proposals that the White House will make to the congressional super committee tasked with comprehensive deficit reduction. But if administration officials are to be believed, it is now a principle by which the committee must act and it raises the specter of gridlock.

In Louisville, a Center's Doctors Cut Off Xanax Prescriptions - NYTimes.com - 0 views

      I found this interesting because it has to do with kentucky and the health industry which I try to stay informed on.
  • LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Gayle Mink, a nurse practitioner at a community mental health center here, had tired of the constant stream of patients seeking Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug coveted for its swift calming effec
  • “It is such a drain on resources,” said Ms. Mink, whose employer, Seven Counties Services, serves some 30,000 patients in Louisville and the surrounding region. “You’re funneling a great deal of your energy into pacifying, educating, bumping heads with people over Xanax.” Because of the clamor for the drug, and concern over the striking number of overdoses involving Xanax here and across the country, Seven Counties took an unusual step — its doctors stopped writing new prescriptions for Xanax and its generic version, alprazolam, in April and plan to wean patients off it completely by year’s end.

  • The experiment will be closely watched in a state that has wrestled with widespread prescription drug abuse for more than a decade and is grasping for solutions as it claims more lives by the week. While Kentucky and other states have focused largely on narcotic painkiller addiction, experts say that benzodiazepines, the class of sedatives that includes Xanax, are also widely misused or abused, often with grim consequences.

      I think this story is relevant because it definitely has timeliness. It occurred 3 days ago and it actually has a very strong meaning considering it shows how people respect the anniversary of 9/11.
