- (Yahoo | AFP (will expire)) A string of publishers failed to spot blatant plagiarism of one of English literature's most famous authors, in a cheeky test to see if she would have secured a book deal today, a report said Thursday.
David Lassman, head of the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, sent manuscripts to 18 editors seeking a publishing contract, using only slightly disguised versions of chapters from the iconic novelist's most famous works.
But only one publisher spotted the fakes, which included perhaps the most famous line in all English literature, the opening sentence of her 1813 work "Pride and Prejudice" . which he renamed "First Impressions".
"Thank you for your recent letter and chapters from your book 'First Impressions'. It seems like a really original and interesting read," wrote Penguin. Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling's agents Christopher Little said they were "not confident" of being able to place the work.
The only editor to spot the ruse was apparently Alex Bow... Adventures in ostrich suits....

... What do ombudsmen do?
- (Organization of News Ombudsmen) Interest in ombudsmen has increased in response to all the polls showing that readers do not hold newspapers in particularly high regard. This problem is hardly a novel one. Similar circumstances led Ralph Pulitzer to establish a Bureau of Accuracy and Fair Play at his New York World in 1913. According to a 1916 issue of American Magazine, Pulitzer had become concerned about the increasing blurriness between "that which is true and that which is false" in the paper. He had reason for concern. One of the questionable practices uncovered by the bureau's first director, Isaac D. White, was the routine embellishment of stories about shipwrecks with fictional reports about the rescue of a ship's cat. After asking the maritime reporter why a cat had been rescued in each of a half-dozen accounts of shipwrecks, White was told, "One of those wrecked ships had a cat, and the crew went back to save it. I made the cat the feature of my story, while the other report... Journalism Dean at Northwestern U. Develops Curriculum With Increased Emphasis on Multimedia and Marketing
- (Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription)) When he was editor of a daily newspaper in 1964, "nearly 90 percent of the households in that town subscribed to the paper, and people would get up in the morning and read it," Mr. Lavine says. With one radio station and one television station nearby, he says, "there were only three places you could go to find out whether the world had survived overnight. We assumed that what we were doing was right because everyone turned to us."
But those days are gone. Now journalists must understand what their audiences are interested in, as well as the best way to grab their attention. The dean believes that Medill is uniquely poised to straddle the line between journalism and marketing since it consists of both a school of journalism and a program in integrated marketing communications. --... They Just Don't Care
- (Language Log) And as far as I know, no other news outlet in the world got this point wrong except the BBC -- not even the tabloids.
People often accuse the BBC of agenda-driven falsification of stories. Perhaps that's sometimes true, I don't know. But in the cases of science mis-reporting that I'm familiar with -- and there are -- the problem seems to be that the reporters and editors concerned are arrogant, lazy, and not very smart.
[ ]
Perhaps the BBC News stories in question are turned out by low-level employees who are given only a few minutes to re-write each press release, and are strictly prohibited from doing any independent research, even as much as might be accomplished in a half an hour of web research, or a brief interview with an expert. If so, then all the blame belongs to the managers who have thus condemned their writers to produce drivel. --... Harry Potter and the diminished returns
- (CalendarLive.com | LA Times) It should be a great moment for the publishing industry, which for years has been limping along with flat sales. But amid this avalanche of commerce and pre-publication hype, the book business is ruefully taking note of a startling incongruity: Very few U.S. booksellers will be making big money from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." --... Confusing ''b'' and ''d''

[Hold your hands like this, and imagine an "e" in between them, and you've got the word "bed".
My five-year-old daughter was having so much trouble telling the difference between her ''b'' and ''d'' that my wife urged me to look up dyslexia on the internet. Along the way, I came across several sites selling stickers or posters showing the word "bed" superimposed over the image of a bed, but Carolyn's thumbs worked just fine for her. When she's guessing, I sometimes have to remind her to "do the thumbs," but she often does it on her own.
We're still working on getting her 5s and 3s to face the right way, but the b and d problem seems to be solved. --DGJ]

... Harry Potter and the Death of Reading
- (Washington Post (will expire)) But before I can suggest what one might learn from reading a good novel, they pop the question about The Boy Who Lived: "How do you like 'Harry Potter'?"
Of course, it's not really a question anymore, is it? In the current state of Potter mania, it's an invitation to recite the loyalty oath. And you'd better answer correctly. Start carrying on like Moaning Myrtle about the repetitive plots, the static characters, the pedestrian prose, the wit-free tone, the derivative themes, and you'll wish you had your invisibility cloak handy. Besides, from anyone who hasn't sold the 325 million copies that Rowling has, such complaints smack of Bertie Bott's beans, sour-grapes flavor.
Shouldn't we just enjoy the $4 billion party?

Through a marvel of modern publishing, advertising and distribution, millions of people will receive or buy "The Deathly Hallows" on a single day. There's something thrilling about that sort of unity, except that it has almost nothi... These Games Are So Bad, It's Not Funny
- (Wired) Gamers never sit around and fondly recall games that were so ludicrous they circled back and arrived at greatness. There is no game analog to, say, Sid and Marty Kroft children's show, or Plan Nine From Outer Space. When a game is bad, it's just bad.
I think this tells us a lot about the nature of play. B games don't exist because a game isn't something you watch; it's something you do. It's impossible to distance yourself from the badness. It's not like chuckling while watching an actor screw things up; it's like being forced to screw up yourself. --...

... Galaxy Zoo
-
Your job is very simple! All you need to do is look out for the features that mark out sprial and elliptical galaxies. In fact, as you're a human and not a computer, most galaxies should be easy to classify since they're obviously spirals or obviously ellipticals. On this page, you will practice classifying galaxies. On the next page, you will take a short trial to test your skills. If you don't pass the trial, you can try again. Once you pass the trial, you can start contributing to Galaxy Zoo science!
[I got a 13 out of 15 score on the qualifying test.
I gather that astronomers have developed software that chops telescope images up into chunks centered on bright objects, and that people are better at identifying the bright spots as clockwise spiral galaxies, counter-clockwise spirals, oval galaxies, or something else (like a star or a satellite). Or, to be more precise, the effort it would take to create a computer program that surpasses human skill is not worth investing, when ...

Digital Photography Vs Filmed Photography - We all know how as times change, technology changes along with it. When boomers were growing up, good old film was used to take photos.
