      I believe that this story is news worthy because it's not everyday you witness an arrest, none the less of a killer, on a subway. I think this story would catch people's attention because of its unusual nature. You wouldn't really expect to see a story about witnessing a killer in a student run school news paper. Also another quality I think this article holds is proximity, since we are less than an hour away from New York City.

      I think this is newsworthy because one of the personnel working at central witnessed a killer get taken down. Its is proximity because occurred so close. Emotion because one of the people we know was near a dangerous person.

    Skinner, 49, was convicted of the New Year's Eve 1993 killings of his 41-year-old live-in girlfriend, Twila Busby, and her two adult sons in the Texas Panhandle town of Pampa. He is set to die Wednesday. He has strongly denied any involvement in the crime and claims that the DNA analysis of untested evidence will prove his innocence and help determine the real killer. "All the district attorney has got to do is turn over the evidence and test it, and let the chips fall where they may," Skinner told CNN's Kate Bolduan in 2009 in an interview from death row at the Polunsky Correctional Institution in Livingston, Texas. "If I'm innocent, I go home. If I'm guilty, I die. What's so hard about that?" On Thursday, the Texas trial court denied Skinner's latest motion asking to have the crime scene items tested.

    As Texas prepares to execute one of his father's killers, Ross Byrd hopes the state shows the man the mercy his father, James Byrd Jr., never got when he was dragged behind a truck to his death. "You can't fight murder with murder," Ross Byrd, 32, told Reuters late Tuesday, the night before Wednesday's scheduled execution of Lawrence Russell Brewer for one of the most notorious hate crimes in modern times. "Life in prison would have been fine. I know he can't hurt my daddy anymore. I wish the state would take in mind that this isn't what we want."

    Few things feel more terrifying and random than a stroke, which can strike without warning. And fear of stroke -- when a blood vessel in or leading to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot, starving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients -- is well founded. After all, stroke is the number-three killer in the U.S., affecting more than 700,000 people each year. Here are five foods that cause the damage that leads to stroke.

      I find this interesting because a family who had someone murdered, does not wish for the killers to receive the death penalty. Meaning: It gives lots of meaning behind why they feel this wayConflict: Even though their family member was killed they want lessen the punishment because they feel it will not solve anythingImpact: It has impacted the people who did kill the innocent manEmotion: It creates a lot of emotion hearing about this heart felt story
