-New York Times reporter Jayson Blair plagiarized articles and manufactured quotations in stories, including stories regarding Jessica Lynch and the Beltway sniper attacks. He and several editors from the Times resigned in June 2003.

-Conservative blogger Ben Domenech, soon after he was hired to write a blog for the Washington Post in 2006, was found to have plagiarized a number of columns and articles he'd written for his college newspaper and National Review Online, lifting passages from a variety of sources ranging from well-known pundits to amateur film critics. Domenech ultimately apologized and resigned.

Okay, okay. So Richard caught me. Big mistake. My fault.

And by the way, I do actually speak and write in Japanese.

Before you throw stones at me, please do keep in mind that this has happened to others before. Thus let us consult a few famous examples in academia, journalism, and in politics:

(Other stuff)

Yes, yes, yes. Mea culpa, mea culpa. Yet, what would you do when you have a severe case of writer’s block this weekend?

And mind you, all previous blog entries are original.

So please forgive me, dear people. Yet remember, I’m sure not all of you have been honest either. You have probably stolen an idea or a work without giving it due credit. So let the first person who hasn’t done that call me out and cast the first stone.

Okay, so this poem is in southern vernacular. It's really just something I wrote, but I want to know what people think.

Note: I realize that things are misspelled (i.e. 'ya'). It's supposed to be that way : )

Don’t worry now baby
Ya can run along the gardens till that watch stops tickin’
Ya can hold that little puppy and feed him and play
I won’t take anythin’ away
When ya grow ol’ just remember
Momma’s Gotcha
Every Bit

When ya stumble and fall
Catch those rainbows, catch’em all
Never doubt what I see
You are my heart, my boy, my baby
So when they tell ya that ya life ain’t worth nuttin'
Don’t ya listen to a word
Plug ya ears with eyes shut tight
Momma wants ya and she gotcha
Every bit

Hiii.. My name is Jessica.
I'm 15 years of age, & I have been homeschooled for the past 4 in half years. I am in 11'th grade, And I graduate in the spring of 2007.

You got it, I'll be 16 when I graduate from High-school!

After H-S I intend on getting my Certs ( CCNA )

I have always been thankful for my parents taking me out of the public school systems. I once went to private schools as well, & none of them gave me the right material, Or the one on one attention needed to fully understand and comprehend the work given to me. I absolutely love being homeschooled, & being able to spend the time I can with my wonderful mother!

I was honestly curious to see if anyone else had any questions or comments about homeschooling and would like to share them with me?

I highly recommend homeschooling,
But I am indeed open minded...
So I know what's right for one person,
May not be right for others..... :)

All suggestions, Questions or comments are welcome!
Please do!!

My mother made these for New Years Eve. You cook them in a special cast iron pan with little half circles. When they are finished they are look like tennis balls. The name starts with an E or I. The name is kind of like Ebelskiver.
