Page 12 May 26, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Truth from page 6 of National Prayer Day, and hotly contested Senate races in Ohio and Pennsylvania. In non-election years, the fact-check team reviews every speech and press conference given by the president, Kiely told the Herald. Factcheck.org is a nonprofit and nonpartisan project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Editors and reporters from the Tampa Bay Times comprise the staff of PolitiFact, which checks claims made by elected officials and politicians. The journalists also serve as a watchdog on the political commentators, known as pundits, whose remarks wield considerable influence in the media. PolitiFact rates the accuracy of statements made by the candidates, placing them in categories that range from “True” and “Mostly True” to “Mostly False” and their lowest rating “Pants on Fire.” It also investigates viral media and rumors on the web, and rates President Obama’s top 25 promises. The web site lists the truthfulness of statements about the number of cancer deaths per day in the United States (Joe Biden), the U.S. coal industry (Hillary Clinton), and Puerto Rico’s national debt (Bernie Sanders). Also, they rated Donald Trump’s assessment of the crime rate in Germany. Biden misstated that 3,000 people in America die of cancer every day. That number of deaths includes Central and South America, PolitiFact noted in correcting the vice president. PolitiFact’s team looked into a viral Facebook post that President Obama canceled National Day of Prayer, Olympic gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt’s claims that Zika-carrying mosquitoes can’t catch him, and whether marijuana is a Schedule 1 drug that is offlimits for medical research. So, who’s paying for these fact-check projects? The Annenberg Foundation originally was the funding source for Factcheck.org until 2010 when it began accepting donations from individuals. Factcheck.org says it has never accepted any funds from corporation, unions, partisan or advocacy groups. The average donation is $55, and five donors gave $1,000 or more last year, according to an annual statement from the group. PolitiFact says its primary source of funding are the advertisers and subscribers to the Tampa Bay Times. It also accepted a grant from the Democracy Fund, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the group says on its web site, http://www.politifact.org. Political researchers who accept corporate funding run a risk, as a 2015 UCLA-led study of media bias noted. UCLA political scientist Tim Groseclose and University of Missouri economist Jeffrey Milyo paid student researchers from their own salaries and some university funds. The decision to seek outside funding is rare in scholarly research, UCLA noted. “No matter the results, we feared our findings would’ve been suspect if we’d received support from any group that could be perceived as right- or left-leaning,” Groseclose said in a press release from UCLA. California’s presidential primary is June 7. The deadline to register to vote in the primary was May 23. The voter-registration deadline for the Nov. 8 general election is Oct. 24. The California Secretary of State’s Office accepts voter registration or re-registration for citizens who’ve moved at http://www.sos. ca.gov/elections/voter-registration. • School Spotlight from page 6 the eyes. It is an indoor-outdoor venue, and Prom was set up mostly outside. Dining tables surrounded a dance floor that lit up and changed colors. There were also dance pods to dance to the DJ upon under a crystal clear sky. We dined on a buffet of delicious pasta, chicken, rice salad and rolls. There was a soda bar that served Shirley Temples. Guest could go above the dining area where they had a view of an expansive garden, and large grounds to walk around. In addition, there were plenty of activities to entertain. We had a photo booth where we could make flipbooks, poker, karaoke and a giant chess set as high as your hips. Of course the highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King Liam Kacvinsky and Queen Marlee Armstrong. The rest of the court included girls Brenna Yob, Amanda Gamboa, Alex Deppe, and Quinn Adams. The boys were Gavin Glynn, Saleiah Ahloo, Jason Kehl, and Issac Lambert. As the night wore on, it was time to head home. A certain sadness creeps in as you realize Prom is over. And so, ESHS has a long held tradition of doing after-Prom activities. Some students headed to In-n-Out, some went to after parties, and some went home in groups to hang out and recount the night. As we found ourselves finally at home, we fall asleep thinking “we are blessed.” We need to thank our parents and families for giving us such beautiful lives that we have these types of memories to be thankful for. As well, thank you to the ESHS ASB and the staff and administration who put together a spectacular and safe Prom 2016. Indeed it was a night to be remembered. • PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: $125.00 ABC NOTICES: $125.00 DBA (Fictitious Business Name): $75.00 NAME CHANGE: $125.00 Other type of notice?
