    There's always been a sense, when walking into a Tory Burch store or into her Fashion Week presentations, that you are arriving at the "Fantasy Island" of fashion. You half sense that Mr. Roarke will tap you on the shoulder at any moment and turn you into an Upper East Side blonde with a car and driver, at least for the day.

New Facebook Feature: A Subscription to Friends' Feeds - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • To help manage this problem, Facebook on Wednesday introduced a “subscription button,” which allows people to subscribe to parts of your news feed without having to become your Facebook friend.

      I find this article newsworthy because so many people use Facebook to communicate, and updates and improvements to the site make this possible. The newsworthy qualities that this story contains are proximity, timeliness, and importance/impact. Proximity is because Facebook is an international institution that is available to all, therefore the story takes place just within people's computer screens. The story is timely because the news was received from Facebook officials just yesterday, and published today, and the story has great impact because of the incredible numbers of Facebook users.

      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.

    The announcement on Tuesday by the Russian space agency that it will delay the launching of the next crew to the International Space Station is a concern for NASA, which is relying solely on the Russians for astronaut transportation.
