Instead of OWS as 9 and Arab spring as 3, I would consolidate them and broaden them as well. I would say "world uprising against established powers."

First would be Japan's triple disaster, then the above as two. I'd really like to make them equal, but if there has to be a 1 and there has to be a 2, then that would be the way I'd do it.

So many of these are interrelated, like Gadhafi is a subset of the revolution one.

Sheesh, I can't believe these news editors put bin Laden as the number one story. That might make number 10 in my book, if it made the list at all.
