In order to be listed in Google News a URL needs to have a 3 digit number in the URL, so the google spiders can read it.  This is no longer nescessary.  If you sumbit a sitemap to google news, the google news spiders will find the URL's to your site

"The three-digit-number requirement is waived if you submit a Google News sitemap in order to alert our crawler to your news articles in your Blog. This tool will enable you to optimize the inclusion of your content without having to change the structure of your URLs. You can find more information about creating a News sitemap in our Publisher Help Center: http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/bin/topic.py?topic=11666"
