A Setback Could Force NASA to Bid for a Plan B - NYTimes.com - 0 views

      I thought this news was important because it's world news and NASA affects many people. It has Human/Interest Emotion, Timeliness, and Conflict. The reason being why it is Human/Interest Emotion is because it affects a certain group of people (people who are interested in science and space). It is Timeless because it happened recently. It is a Conflict because they are delaying something because something went wrong.

Newly-Obtained Emails Show Further Treasury Concern Over Solyndra Restructuring | Fox B... - 0 views

  •  
    "Newly-Obtained Emails Show Further Treasury Concern Over Solyndra Restructuring Treasury officials, on several occasions, questioned the legality of the Department of Energy's approval of a loan restructuring for the now-bankrupt solar panel manufacturer, Solyndra, according to internal government emails obtained by FOX Business. The emails show Treasury officials and a handful of accounts raised concerns with officials at the Departments of Energy and Justice that the proposed restructuring violated federal regulations. The Department of Energy eventually approved the agreement that brought in more private capital on the condition those investors would largely stand before the federal government in the event Solyndra filed for bankruptcy. The solar company did so nearly seven months later."
