It was because of his religious beliefs that Joel Northrup decided not to wrestle Cassy Herkelman, though Joel said he had a tremendous amount of respect for her.  A quick check of the blogs (including CNN's own Belief Blog) revealed that Joel had gotten everything from praise and respect to insults and taunts for his decision.

Both wrestlers were eventually eliminated from the tournament.  But we'd love to hear your thoughts on this:  Did you agree with Joel's decision not to wrestle Cassy?

We'd love to get your opinion on the controversy about teaching Arabic in some Texas schools.  When the plan was originally announced, it would've made Arabic mandatory - meaning students would have had to take it - at some schools.  Officials are now reconsidering the plan entirely, but we'd like you to consider where you stand on all this.

...is that there was no truth - no tree octopus.  The part of this story that amazes me is that about half the 7th graders who were told this animal was a hoax continued to insist it was real because of the website they read.

So we'd like to get your thoughts today on 'checking your sources' (something I remember all too well from journalism class).  What can you do to make sure that what you read online is the truth?
