1. The Emmy's: When we first entered the page, this was the first story shown on the "story slide show." The headline pictures contain the big winners of the night. When you click on the article it shows pictures of the night with a short story of what happened.
2. Wall Street Bailout: Actually listed on the site as the top headline (Bush Goes to Bat for Executive Salaries, Discourages 'Punitive' Measures) along with a picture in the same slide show as the Emmy's picture. The article summarizes the "debate" between Bush and Congress regarding Federal assistance and the current financial crisis.
3. SC Learjet Crash: Also listed as a top headline. It shows pictures of the crash site and the plane as well as lists the celebrities involved, but does not emphasize the actual deaths.

I think this site is quite engaging. I like that the site incorporates various multimedia content.However,they could do a better job in categorizing the news.It feels like too many things appear at the same time.I would not use this site everyday,however I think it may be useful to visit it once in a while.Guys,good job on the blog:)
