Checking out the Editorials in Newspapers

People will always put their focus on the front page which would usually contain the headlines of latest news and current events going on locally and the world. But technically, the editorial section is similar to that of a blog where a person would make entries about certain aspects to which they expound on. Ideally these issues would be in line with the ongoing events since they provide supporting insights on such issues.

Editorial from people will provide the opinions and ideas stemming from references on actual events and facts. They are not placed for the sake of argument of one person only. They cover the negative and positive aspects of such issues and provide further analysis so that people may easily understand the whole essence of the headlines and events.

Also, these editorials are technically chains from past issues and events since they refresh the memory of people who may have forgotten about connections to the current topic at hand. These are the things that have already occurred but have been forgotten. It is through editorials that they can be recalled.

NBA goes to Nevada for Annual All-Star Game

This week marks the weekend for the NBA fans all over the world. A lot of attention will be put on the annual all-star game to be held at Nevada, Las Vegas where the likes of Miami’s Dwayne Wade, Cleveland’s LeBron James, Phoenix’ Steve Nash and Denver’s Carmelo Anthony will take center stage to delight their fans with moves and fantasy match-ups and teams.

Sidelights include that of the all-rookie challenge which was already won by the sophomores starring David Lee of the New York Knicks who was adjudged this years Most Valuable Player (MVP) for scoring 30 points on a perfect 14 of 14 field goal shooting.

Yet to come is that of the much awaited Slam Dunk competition where Lee’s teammate Nate Robinson will defend his crown against 4 other players headed by Gerald Green of the Boston Celtics. The 3-point shootout also features Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki who will defend his title against tough opposition as Washington’s Gilbert Arenas and teammate Jason Terry.

But it will surely be the All-star game that will be closely awaited as the entire world will watch their NBA idols grace the hardwood and put on a show for their millions of fans.

Barcelona FC Do A Good Deed With UNICEF

In today?s world of ?big money? sports, where it seems to be all about commercialism and ego, it was refreshing to see one of the world?s biggest football clubs give back for a change ? and to orphaned AIDS children, no less.

Barcelona FC recently signed a 5-year-deal with the United Nations that they will be donating $1.9 million (1.5 million euros) a year to UNICEF to help children affected by AIDS all over the world.

The funds to be donated will be used to care for children already orphaned due to parents who succumbed to AIDS, as well as programmes to stop the disease from spreading from mother-to-child.

The first installation of the money will be going to Swaziland in Africa, where a shocking 40% of adults are infected with the HIV virus.

Part of the arrangement will be the ?UNICEF? logo on the Spanish club?s blue and scarlet jersey ? which is the first time ever a football club of this magnitude has done such a thing.

Go Barcelona!! Its about time all that money was put to good use.
