1. What do the fact checkers at the New Republic do when they cannot find the information to verify?
Asked for the numbers and websites of his sources to get in touch with them.
2. How does Charles Lane feel about Glass once he discovers he is lying?
He is upset, and dissapointed, he lost respect for him
3. How does Glass gain the sympathy of his fellow journalists at the New Republic?
He says he lied because he was under so much pressure and his co-workers backed him up because they said people make mistakes and they didn't know exactly how much he was lying. They also insisted he was to be suspended instead of fired because this job was all he had.
4. How does Glass dodge the truth again once he realizes he has been caught by Forbes!
He makes up fake websites, buisness cards, and phone numbers and even had his brother pretend to be one of the sources he named in the article.
5. What excuse does Glass give Lane for lying?
That he was under so much pressure and he thought the story would be more interesting if it were in first person so he pretended to be there and says he talked to people who were there and he guesses they weren't such reliable sources after all. Which is probably a lie too.
6. What is the argument for not firing Glass from the New Republic?
That the company will lose alot of the co-workers that like him and are were on his side.

Abortion is a controversial topic that people have a hard time discussing. In some cases, people can find abortion morally wrong while others think it’s their choice if they want to have it done or not. I believe it is a person’s choice if they decide to get an abortion because it is something that involves their life and their body.
Abortion is done in many different ways, but all of the options are painful. Unless you are put to sleep for your suction abortion, it will be very painful. The cervix is closed and hard and not prepared to open. The instruments are sharp and the sucking or pulling action is violent in the womb. In the first trimester (first three months of pregnancy) there are two common types of abortion. In a suction-aspiration abortion the opening to your womb (cervix) must be stretched open wide. In a Dilatation and Curettage (D & C) abortion, first the cervix is stretched open. Then, the abortionist inserts a loop-shaped knife (curette) into the uterus. He cuts the placenta and baby into pieces and scrapes them out into a basin. This usually produces a large amount of bleeding.
Yes, I know this is graphic, but if you want to know everything about abortion you’ll have to know how it is done.
Now in the second trimester (second three months of pregnancy) the Dilatation and Evacuation or (D & E) method is used. The cervix is stretched open using pencil lead sized sticks of highly absorbent material inserted into the cervical opening. Over 24 hours they absorb body moisture and swell, opening the cervix. A long pliers-like instrument is inserted into the uterus. Because the baby is too large to fit through the cervix, the abortionist uses the instrument to grab hold of the baby’s leg or arm and twists until it is torn from the body. That part is then pulled through the cervix. This is repeated limb by limb until the baby has been totally torn apart. The spine must also be snapped, and the skull crushed to remove these pieces. The nurse’s job is to lay all the body parts out to make sure they got the entire baby out of the uterus.
Finally, in the third trimester (last three months of pregnancy) a method called Dilatation and Extraction (D & X), also known as Partial Birth Abortion may be used. The abortionist inserts forceps into the stretched cervical opening. He grabs a leg of the unborn baby and turns the baby into a breech (feet pointing toward the birth canal) position. He then pulls the baby out, except for the head that remains in the birth canal. The baby is alive and moving. The abortionist inserts a sharp scissors into the base of the skull. A tube is inserted into the wound and the brain is sucked out. The now-dead infant is then pulled out.
This is where people feel the need to influence others decisions when it comes to abortion. I don’t think I could ever bring myself to get one, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to try and stop someone else from doing what they feel is necessary. Maybe they feel like they aren’t ready to have a baby, or can’t financially take care of a baby.
But there is another way; you can put your baby up for adoption. Instead of getting rid of the life being created inside you, you can give your child to someone who is ready and able to care for a child.

On Sunday, March 8th, a friends and I decided to get the inside scoop on what it feels like first hand to be an outcast in today’s society.
Well okay, we didn't really decide, it was an assignment in our social studies sociology class. The assignment was to do something out of the "norm". We were supposed to be a counterculture in society. After thinking all day in class, Amy Hart and I decided to wear our bathing suits over our clothing in public scenery. First we decided to go to the Mall Of America but quickly decided to go to our local Target instead. After all Target would give us enough of the reactions we needed for the experiment of the assignment. I met up with Amy at her house. She walked outside and I could not help but laugh at how ridiculous she looked. A sweat shirt, jeans and a pink Polk-a-dot swim suit strung around her clothing. Not that I looked any better with my long sleeved shirt and blue jeans with an orange swim suit with a picture of a sun set stretched across the front. She hops into the passenger seat of my silver Blazer.
" I cannot believe we are actually doing this!" stated Amy. Mrs. Pawlicki was right, being a counterculture did make me feel rebellious. MY hands started to sweat, I was getting more nervous the closer we got and I could tell by her fidgeting that she was getting nervous too. We both agreed that we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. As we approached a stop light, the car next to us was a white Oldsmobile. Inside were a very old lady and a very old man. The old lady just stared at us in disgust. We laughed it off but both grew more nervous. It was time to walk into the store. We both grew more nervous. I no longer felt rebellious, just silly. Then I thought that I was stupid for caring so much, it was just clothing. Walking from the parking lot to the store consisted of one awkward look from a middle aged man and his three or four year old daughter. She was wearing an orange and white outfit with a matching bow clipped into her light brown hair. As they walked past us the child’s father had to pull her hand as she stared backwards at us. We walked through the doors and the pressure was on. We walked through the make-up isle to ease into it because we knew from our former visits the make-up section was not very busy. There were two girls who must have been thirteen or so, barely even old enough to wear make-up themselves. They looked at us and we could tell they felt uncomfortable and less than a minute or so they left the isle.
We made our way to the grocery aisles. A lady passing by said a little bit too loudly, "What are those girls wearing?" We kept walking and another lady actually stopped to stare at us as we passed. I felt embarrassed, and maybe even ashamed. For the next fifteen minutes we experienced people snickering, staring, laughing and pointing. " I think countercultures should feel different" stated Sally, "because they are different." Yes, countercultures are different but sometimes they don't choose to be. Some people in the United States are from other countries who wear or do different things. I realized how much Americans judge one another and it made me sick. It made me think of all of the times I may have looked at someone a half of a second too long. I was ashamed of myself and it made me embarrassed. "People were treating us like we were five hundred pounds!" bluntly stated Amy as we walked out. Now I can see why people just wear what everyone else wears and does what everyone else does. It’s more than just fitting in and self confidence. It is about how people pick on you or make you feel like less of a person. When I asked Ben if he wanted to be a counterculture he said “I wouldn’t want to be a counterculture because people judge you just by looking at you, and like your librarian always said, never judge a book by its cover!"

On Friday, February 20th, Eastview High School held an event in order to raise money for cancer patients, familys who are dealing with and effected by cancer and cancer reaserch. The event was titled "Voices of Hope," and that is exactly what it was. This sing-a-thon was held in the Performing Arts Center in Eastview High School from 8 A.M. to midnight with a variety of participaipants.
There was everything from eastview Spanish classes preforming in spanish, Japenese classes preforming in japaneese, a variety of choirs from different grades and choir classes. Even some of eastviews teachers and alumni sang for the cause. Also choirs from other North Field and Falcon Ridge helped raise money for the foundation and came to share their voices and show their support for cancer. Later in the day a local boy band called " The Selceted Three" preformed.
The Angel Foundation and Eastview High School teamed up to work together to make this event possible. Eastview organized most of the event with help to a lot of eastview volunteers. Judy Sagen directed this event. Brooke Kallgariff , Miss Twin Cities, and former eastview alumni helped host the event by announcing the preformers and even singing a few songs herself.
This event will benefit the Angel Foundation which is a non-profit ogranizations that helps people who are effected by cancer. The foundation helped raise money by charging each performer a fee of ten dollars. Also teachers at Eastview encouraged all of their students to help raise money. Some teachers even gave small prizes to classes who which ever one of their classes raised the most money. Other teachers told students if they raised a certain amount of money they could get out of class to watch the preformance.
I watched Voices Of Hope in a few classes but the last hour is what really got me to appreciate the event when a classmate of mine said Voices of Hope was "Inspiring and I was glad to see how many people were supportive in this event." Everyone who participated did a great job and raised thousands of dollars for the cause.
