Fawkes' ancestors. Did Ambrose Write Wild Blue, Or Just Edit It? - Forbes.com. Fareed Zakaria On Plagiarism Scandal: 'This Has Been A Tough Week' Fareed Zakaria opened up about his plagiarism scandal in an interview with the New York Times which was published Monday.
Zakaria recently got into severe trouble after he was found to have lifted a paragraph from a recent New Yorker article for a column in Time. He was suspended from that magazine and from CNN, where he also works. Both outlets swiftly absolved him of any further misdeeds, and he will be back at work shortly. Zakaria was also forced to address accusations of quote-lifting in a recent book, causing him to lash out at critics who he said were trying to use the fracas to wound him further. Of course, the scandal is still lingering, and Zakaria told the Times that it forced him to rethink his heavy workload (in addition to the aforementioned jobs, he also writes for the Washington Post, is a prolific author, and is in heavy demand for personal appearances). "Other things will have to go away," he said.
Also on HuffPost: Why Stephen Ambrose's plagiarism matters. Stephen Ambrose handled his first plagiarism scandal of the week with the graceful humility you'd expect from America's Uncle History.
Over the weekend, the Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes nailed Ambrose for heisting several passages of The Wild Blue, his recent best seller about World War II B-24 bomber crews, from historian Thomas Childers. Ambrose had footnoted Childers but still passed off Childers' elegant prose as his own. Ambrose apologized immediately for the "mistake," blamed it on faulty attribution, and promised to place the text in quotations in future editions. Barnes and Childers quickly pardoned Ambrose, and the only chiding Ambrose received was for his haste: He has written eight books in five years.
He's a history factory, using his five kids as researchers and assistants to streamline the production process. Ambrose ducked plagiarism No. 1, but then Forbes.com's Mark Lewis started digging. More questions raised about Fareed Zakaria’s work. The first edition of Zakaria’s book, which became a bestseller, makes no mention of the comment’s source, nor does a paperback version of “Post-American World” published in 2009.
In fact, Grove’s comment was published three years earlier in “Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Power to the East,” by former Commerce Department official Clyde V. Prestowitz. In an interview Monday, Prestowitz said Grove made the comment in an interview Prestowitz conducted while he was researching his book. The quote appears in the book’s first chapter. Prestowitz, who heads the Economic Strategy Institute, a Washington think tank, said he contacted Zakaria about the Grove quote when “The Post-American World” was published four years ago but received no response.
Zakaria finally acknowledged Prestowitz in the footnotes of “The Post-American World 2.0,” an updated and expanded version of his original book that was published last year.
Funny pony articles. Animals for art. The Sport Horse Show and Breed Database. June 2009. This horse was gelded, but he has an interesting pedigree.His sire was Gypsey Prince 8319 by Gypsey King.
King had many offspring in the Mid-Atlantic area. His sire was Kenney's Morgan 4982 by Knox Morgan. This was a different line to Knox then what usually comes down to today. Gypsey King was out of Gipsey Queen 0870 by Rocket 203, a grandson of Sherman Morgan.Gypsey Prince's dam, Nunda, was by Scotland 6000 who was by General Gates and out of Highland Mary by Lambert Chief 1489. Scotland is not often found today.The dam of Gipsey-Allen was Althea 04595 by Allen H by Ethan Allen 3rd and out of Black Bess by Governor Fisk by Flying Morril. Sadly, most of this above blood is gone.
Map of Viking Eastern Europe. Battle of Manzikert (1071 A.D.) Battle of Manzikert (1071 A.D.) The Battle of Manzikert occurred on August 26, 1071 between the Byzantine Empire and Seljuk Turkish forces led by Alp Arslan, resulting in the defeat of the Byzantine Empire and the capture of Emperor Romanus IV Diogenes. During the 1060s the Seljuk sultan Alp Arslan allowed his Turkish allies to migrate towards Armenia and Asia Minor, where they sacked cities and plundered farmland. In 1064 they destroyed the Armenian capital at Ani. In 1068 Romanus IV led an expedition against them, but his slow-moving infantry could not catch the speedy Turkish cavalry, although he was able to capture the city of Hierapolis.
In 1070 Romanus led a second expedition towards Manzikert, a city in eastern Turkey's province of Mu? Preparations Accompanying Romanus was Andronicus Ducas, an odd choice as Ducas was an old enemy of the emperor. The battle Romanus was unaware of the loss of Tarchaneiotes and continued to Manzikert, which he easily captured on August 23. Outcome.
