The first story that jump out to me was the one about basketball. At first I read the title then the lead but was not sure if I wanted to continue reading because I didn't know what it was really about. Then I decided to read on. This is a newsworthy story that is very unique, and I think a lot of readers will enjoy it. It talked about how free-throw percentages have not changed over 50 years. To me, that is crazy. Who would of thought to research something like free-throw percentages. It made me think how UNH's men's and women's team percentages have varied over the years. Very interesting.
Another interesting fact:
Young adults who are overweight and smoke are more likely to die before the age of 30. This story was disturbing because its a rare fact. I hope a lot of people, especially smokers read this because it can be a great message to some.
I noticed from reading the paper everyday that the obituaries move around. Sometimes I see them in the main section and other times in a different section. I wonder if there is certain section for them. I like reading them because I learn about different people and what they have accomplished, although they are now dead.
I was thrilled to read that amazon has sold e-books to Apple so they can make an application on iPhones and i Touches. It allows you to upload 240,000 e-books, which is insane!
The recession has increased the unemployment rate on mainly the east and west coast according to the front page of the business section. Also automakers' sales have decreased by 41% since Feb. which is definitely newsworthy.
