The Prime Minister of Lebanon's delicate balancing act - Global Public Square - CNN.com... - 0 views

  •  
    The other night, I interviewed Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who was in New York to address the United Nations General Assembly. A lot has been written about Mikati, who was appointed in January. He's been accused of being too accommodating to Syria and Hezbollah (Hezbollah and its allies hold an 18-seat majority in the cabinet he formed in June 2011). For this reason, I fully expected Mikati to skirt any discussion of Hezbollah or the situation in Syria. Instead, I found him surprisingly candid about the tightrope he is walking - trying to keep the peace between all of Lebanon's many factions.

      Timeliness: This happend yesterday Importance: I thought the article was important because it reports on upcoming spring 2012 trends. Meaning/ Special Intrest: If you are someone intrested in fashion and keeping up with trends this article would appeal to you. That being said it is a meaningful article discussing Tory Burch's spring collection.....I personally chose the article because Tory Burch is an iconic business woman/designer, to me.
  •  
    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.

Verlander leads Tigers past White Sox 5-0 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports - 0 views

  • Verlander pitched seven strong innings to earn his major league-best 23rd win and the Tigers blanked the Chicago White Sox 5-0 for their 11th consecutive victory. Verlander (23-5) allowed six hits, struck out six and walked two while becoming the first Tiger since Hal Newhouser in 1946 to win 11 consecutive starts and the AL’s first 23-game winner since Barry Zito(notes) in 2002. “It’s probably best I’ve felt in the last few starts, the last five or six,” Verlander said. “I really felt like I was getting back that rhythm I’ve been trying to find for a while.” That’s a scary statement for the rest of the American League. Verlander improved to 11-0 with a 2.51 ERA since his last loss on July 15 in Chicago, his only defeat in 15 decisions against AL Central opponents this season.

      The reason why i thought this article was newsworthy was because it just happened yesterday, it talks about a team contending for a playoff spot in baseball, and the majority of the article talks about the best pitcher in baseball dominating yet again. Qualities it contained: Prominence/Celebrity when it talks about Justin Verlander. Importance and imopact when it talks about them contending for a playoff spot (at least thats important for baseball fans). Timeliness: it happened yesterday. And finally, conflict. It describes a game that happened between two teams.

      This story was interesting to me because it was about something that doesn't happen very often.  It is newsworthy because of the rare nature of the story.

      This story had timeliness because it was about a game on the same day the story was written on.  It also may have special interest to baseball enthusiasts and human interest because of the almost heartwarming nature of the story.
  •  
    Just before 10:30 a.m. Monday, Mariano Rivera walked into the Yankees' clubhouse in street clothes. Less than 15 minutes later he was dressed and ready to go. By 4:30 p.m. he had passed Trevor Hoffman as the major league career leader in saves with 602.
  •  
    When it was over, after Rivera had gotten a called third strike against Minnesota's Jason Parmelee to finish a 1-2-3 ninth and preserve a 6-4 victory, and after he had been mobbed by his teammates, his longtime catcher, Jorge Posada, joined with Alex Rodriguez to push Rivera back out to the mound so the crowd could salute him one more time.
