"I read the thesis, I examined him with an examiner, he defended his thesis very, very thoroughly. He had nobody else present, and I don't think there's any reason to think he didn't do it himself."
Lord Desai, quoted in The Times
The Background
While blood runs on the streets of Tripoli, it might seem odd that the precise wording of an obscure PhD thesis is grabbing headlines.
But the Saif al-Islam Gaddafi scandal is shaking the cloistered world of academia to its foundations.
Did Colonel Gaddafi's son make a mockery of British education when he was awarded a PhD by the London School of Economics in 2008?
Accusations that the thesis was plagiarised – and the question of whether a respected British university should be accepting huge cash donations from Gaddafi regime – have forced LSE director Sir Howard Davies to resign.
An internal investigation into Saif's academic work has been promised, but Lord Meghnad Desai, the man who signed off Saif's doctorate, is still sticking up for his old pupil.
In a Times interview, the eminent and economist and Labour peer rubbished the claims of plagiarism.
Speaking to the BBC today, he again denied any impropriety: "We treated him like anybody else. We gave him a tough oral examination, we read his thesis, we then asked him to rewrite and add some bits which we thought were missing. So we did not treat him softly in any respect."
The analysis
FactCheck has just finished poring over Saif's 400-odd page doctorate, and it certainly gives a different perspective on the dictator-in-waiting's personality.
The man who was last week filmed brandishing a Kalashnikov and promising his supporters more weapons in their brutal efforts to put down Libya's insurrection emerges as a Jekyll-and-Hyde figure with a passionate interest in democracy and civil society.
He's apparently a fan of the libertarian Guardian journalist George Monbiot, whose work he quotes at length.
Saif draws extensively on the work of such philosophical heavyweights as Kant, Hume and Aristotle.
It's evidence of a towering intellect at work – an aspect of Saif's personality we know escaped people who met him and even tried to teach him.
As Channel 4 News reported today, the economist John Christensen was approached to help the dictator's son with his studies shortly after he arrived in the UK.
In his online blog, Mr Christensen recalls: "Saif was not, how to say this politely, the brightest of students. Not only was he totally uninterested in economics, he lacked the intellectual depth to study at that level, and showed no willingness to read let alone do course work.
"Worse, our tutorials were endlessly interrupted, either by the constant comings and goings of his retainers, or by his mobile phone, which rang every two or three minutes."
He adds: "Without making it totally explicit, Mr Qadafi was expecting me to write his essays for him, and presumably to carry this through to preparing his thesis. I was not prepared to do this."
There are many sophisticated pieces of internet technology that enable teachers to check whether students have been plagiarising the work of others.
Anyone suffering from insomnia can find Saif's magnum opus here – it's available to download free from the British Library.
The plagiarism was first reported here. Since then, a number of internet users have taken the time to comb through the thesis and claim to have found numerous passages that have obviously been lifted from other sources without acknowledgement. They've added their findings to this blog.
The collective research claims to show that some chunks of text have been slightly altered, like this:
The term is currently often used by critics and activists as a reference to sources of resistance and to that domain of social life which needs to be protected against globalisation.
Saif Gaddafi
The term civil society is currently often used by activists as a reference to the domain of social life which needs to be protected against globalisation
Miguel Braganza, "Government, NGOs, CSOs and CSWs: Understanding Who is Who and what is happening around you!"
But many others have apparently simply been cut-and-pasted.
The most shameless episode of alleged lifting sees a whole run of passages apparently copied from a paper written by the blameless Professor Joe Painter of the University of Durham.
The Verdict
Just how much of the thesis is Gaddafi's is difficult to say.
If we chop out things like tables, appendices and notes in the margin, the PhD runs to just under 93,000 words. The sections that have either copied exactly or altered very slightly run to 5,446.
So just under 6 per cent of the whole thing is demonstrably the work of other people. But those are just the bits we know about, a few days into the mammoth task of checking every sentence in a text the size of a novel.
The other big question of course is whether Saif wrote any of it at all. We've heard that he was prepared to pay academics to do much of the work for him.
Did he find someone else less scrupulous than John Christensen?
Or did Saif, a man who recently urged his father's supporters to fight to the death, grow up with a machine gun in one hand and the History of Western Philosophy in another?
In an odd twist, one man who could help clear up the mystery is Tony Blair, who Saif quotes in the paper on the fascinating subject of oil extraction in southwest Africa.
In the notes he attributes this to "comment from Tony Blair in private communication with the author of this thesis".
So far the former Prime Minister's been unavailable for comment on the issue. If he backs Saif's recollection of their chat, that proves at least one paragraph of his masterpiece is genuine.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I just got back from New Zealand this week and everyone's been asking for my itinerary, so here it is. I went with two friends (Jen and Judy) and Judy had to leave around the 1-week mark so this planning took that into account.
If you are planning to go and only have a week or so, I'd focus the trip on South Island, which is so beautiful and has lots of different activities to do!
In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to do individual posts on some of my favorite places, but here's the overview =)
North Island:
- Day 1: Fly into Auckland in AM: hike One Tree Hill, great brunch at Sierra Cafe, tried to visit the Auckland Art Gallery (free admission, but closes at 5pm), dinner at Depot Eatery and drinks nearby
- Day 2: Drove to Waitomo Caves for a tubing adventure in an a cave with glow worms; great dinner at Huhu Cafe; spent the night in Rotorua
- Day 3: Drove to Hobbiton to visit The Shire film set on a tour; drove back to Auckland; listened to an awesome band called the Mix Tape Bros at Brew on Quay St.
South Island:
- Day 4: Flew to Queenstown in AM; visited Queenstown market next to the lake, ate a Fergburger, spent the night at the Winery bar eating cheese/charcuterie and sampling wines
- Day 5: Drove out to Milford Sound - had meat pies at Miles Better Pies; took a Jucy Cruize on Milford Sound; drove back and had dinner at The Cow in Queenstown
- Day 6: Drove out to Franz Josef Glacier; took a helicopter and guided hike with Franz Josef Guides
- Day 7: Drove out to Hokitika and spent the day jade carving at Bonz n Stonz (great experience!), drove to Christchurch after dinner
- Day 8: Walked around the city to see the cool street art but everything is very much under construction. We learned a lot about what happened there back in 2011. Visited some cool shopping areas made out of shipping containers
- Day 9: Spent morning in Christchurch exploring the Christchurch Botanic Gardens before flying to Bay of Islands, which is a beachside area north of Auckland. Spent the night eating, drinking wine, and visited a hostel bar with new friends we made
Back to North Island:
- Day 10: Took a cruise from Paihia in Bay of Islands to view the islands and see tons of dolphins (10 at a time!), had dinner in Russell in the oldest building in New Zealand, the Duke of Marlborough hotel, saw the sunset on the ferry back
- Day 11: Took bus (nakedbus) back to Auckland and checked into our hostel. Spent the day at various bars while waiting for our CA Bar Admission results (we all passed!) Checked out the EDM scene in Auckland at Club Kong.
- Day 12: Took a ferry to Waiheke Island. Had brunch at a beautiful cafe overlooking the cliff/ocean and then visited Cable Bay Winery -- the most beautiful winery I've ever visited!
- Day 13: Flew out!

Betty Sherrill, a New Orleans native who became the doyenne of Manhattan interior designers has died. For more than six decades, she led the prominent New York design firm McMillen Inc. She was 91.
Sherrill died on May 12 at her home on Manhattan's East Side, her grandson, John Pyne, said. The cause was pancreatic cancer.
As McMillen's president and later chairman, Sherrill oversaw interior design for a roster of clients that included titans of industry, celebrities and families of wealth. Among them were Laurance and Mary Rockefeller, CBS Chairman William Paley, singer Diana Ross and Alice Walton, billionaire daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton.
Sherrill, a graduate of Louise S. McGehee School and a Newcomb College dropout, understood that listening and diplomacy were an important part of a job that put her on intimate footing with clients.
"You get to know their children, their pets and really everything about them," she said in a 1991 interview with The Times-Picayune. When Sherrill decorated palaces for Queen Noor of Jordan and the ruling family in Kuwait, for example, she "learned to eat olives for breakfast."
Sherrill wasn't fazed by clients whose style differed from her own. In that same 1991 interview, she emphasized the importance of tact: "You can say something like, maybe we don't have the same taste, but let's see what we can do."
Sherrill cut both an imposing and charming figure in New York society - and never lost her New Orleans accent.
She was a longtime resident of 1 Sutton Place South, a co- operative apartment built in 1927 with views of the East River. As chairman of the co-op board, Sherrill acted as a social gatekeeper at the building that has been the home of designer Bill Blass and socialite C.Z. Guest. Sherrill also had residences in Hobe Sound, Fla., and Southampton, N.Y., where she planted 40,000 daffodils.
McMillen, described by Architectural Digest as the oldest U.S. interior design company, was founded in 1924 by Eleanor McMillen Brown. Her firm's work soon became fashionable among New York's elites.
Sherrill arrived in the city in 1952 as a recently-married and lightly-schooled former design student.
Her first job was opening the door and passing out pamphlets for McMillen's "Paris '52" exhibit of contemporary postwar designers.
"She used to say, 'I got my foot in the door and I never took it out,'" Sherrill's granddaughter, Elizabeth Pyne, said in a telephone interview. Pyne is the third generation of Sherrill women to work at McMillen, where her mother, Ann Pyne is president.
Ann Pyne, writing in an emailed tribute, characterized her mother's style as "Wasp chic, though not the shabby side of it," with special touches including animal prints, bay windows and Portuguese needlepoint rugs.
Fine French furniture -- "FFF" in Sherrill's shorthand -- continued to be the foundation of the firm, Sherrill told HG magazine in 1992. She retired as McMillen president in 2002.
Among the highlights of her career was helping decorate the White House living quarters for President Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird Johnson.
Betty Stevens Sherrill was born on April 18, 1923, in New Orleans, the daughter of William Lewis Stevens, an architect and engineer and a close associate of Louisiana Governor Huey Long. Her mother, Sybil Wilkinson Stevens, was a descendent of Betty Washington Lewis, sister of George Washington.
Sherrill attended private schools before dropping out of Newcomb College in New Orleans, now part of Tulane University. She took up competitive sailing, according to the tribute by Ann Pyne.
In 1949 she married H. Virgil Sherrill, a banker who served as president of Bache Halsey Stuart, vice chairman of a successor firm, Prudential-Bache Securities, and chairman of the Securities Industry Association.
Still chairman of McMillen at the time of her death, Sherrill was inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame in 1989 and received the Parsons Centurion Award for Design Excellence in 2006. The New York School of Interior Design granted her an honorary doctorate degree in 2013.
In addition to her daughter, Ann Pyne; grandson, John Pyne; and granddaughter, Elizabeth Pyne, Sherrill's survivors include a son, Stephen Sherrill, and three other grandchildren. Her husband died in 2010

Syracuse -- Actor Joseph Graves asks only this of audiences at Syracuse Stage's production of "An Iliad": "Use your imagination. See these things with me."
In this contemporary theatrical adaptation of Homer's epic poem "The Iliad," Graves carries a heavy load. He is the poet who recounts the ancient Trojan War. Graves also becomes the voice of the warriors, most notably Achilles and Hector, and a grieving wife, mother and father. The poet suffers through some of his remembrances in the play, which opens Friday at Stage.
"An Iliad" may be grounded in the original text of 750 to 650 B.C., but playwrights Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare have narrowed the historical chasm between then and now. They sharpen the point that passage of time, centuries, has not changed the narrative of war. At one point, Graves recites a lengthy list of wars that have occurred since, ending with the conflict in Syria.
"This is all about the intense and intimate communication between the storyteller and the audience," says Graves before a recent rehearsal. "In order for it to work really well, it demands their participation through attention and interest, at least."
Graves will sense his hold on the audience quickly. Banks of seating on both sides of the performance space have been added to the smaller Arthur Storch Theatre. This brings the actor closer to theatergoers as he roams.
"If he feels the audience is getting lost, he is right along with us to help us get back," says director Penny Metropulos of the poet's journey.
To maintain the connection _ of physical and mental agility _ for 100 minutes is no small feat. Graves never leaves the stage.
"It's kind of a beast of a piece, really, to do," says Graves, adding "but good, very enjoyable."
The director calls it's a tour de force performance. "It's extraordinary to watch an actor go through this."
Metropulos and Graves have been through this before. They teamed up for the Portland Center Stage production of "An Iliad" in 2010. Last year, Metropulos also directed "Red" at Stage, with Graves in the lead role of abstract painter Mark Rothko.
Although Metropulos has read "An Iliad," she finds the story is better in the telling, in keeping with the oral history tradition. "So seeing it in a play, a staged format, really feels appropriate. I feel we become so much more engaged than we would if we sat down by a fire and read it."
And Metropulous should know because she did just that _ read the play by a fire and was engrossed. "But, there's something about having a storyteller that I find irresistible."
Graves, the storyteller, witnessed the effect the ancient text can have on theater goers. He expected audiences in Portland might be sparse because of the intensity of the subject and theater experience. But, attendance continued to grow and ticket buyers were turned away from sold-out performances during the run of "An Iliad."
"The real power of it kind of sneaks up on you slowly and you find, I think that audiences will find themselves enjoying and being drawn along and sort of mesmerized by hearing this great story and this great poetry and the poetic way that's it's told," says Graves, actor and storyteller.
WHAT: "An Iliad," adapted from Homer by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare. Translation by Robert Fagles.
WHERE: Arthur Storch Theatre, Syracuse Stage, 820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse.
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. today, preview; 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and May 24, 25, 31, June 1, 7 and 8; 3 p.m. Saturday and May 25, June 1 and 8; 2 p.m. Sunday and May 26, June 2, 5 and 9; 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 23, 28 to 30, June 4 to 6; and 7 p.m. June 2.

It's another quarter in the books for General Electric (NYSE: GE ) , the Dow Jones Industrial Average's (Index: ^DJI) oldest member, and based on its third-quarter results Wall Street didn't seem all too thrilled, sending the stock down 2% on Friday.
Before the credit crisis in 2008, GE was practically unstoppable. If you had asked me five years ago I'd have placed the company next to death and taxes as possibly the only other thing on Earth you could count on. Well, the credit crisis in 2008 proved that theory of mine dead wrong, and GE's crippled financial arm showed that this conglomerate is just as fallible as any other company.
But Wall Street may have overlooked some key points to last week's earnings report, which wasn't nearly as bad as GE's 2% drop on Friday would indicate.
For starters, GE's bread-and-butter segments, energy and GE capital, both appear on track to contribute solid results for the company. GE relies heavily on its energy innovations and its financial arm to deliver to its bottom line:
Source: PR Newswire, all figures in billions of U.S. dollars.
With revenue for its lending division flat year-over-year, you might anticipate that growth there has stalled -- but it's actually quite the opposite. Major corporations are taking advantage of historically low lending rates, which has boosted GE's lending business and helped crank up third-quarter profits by 79% because of more beneficial net interest margin spreads. The lending segment's tier-one capital ratio is also up to 11%, signaling that the company is well-capitalized. This is important because just a few years ago, this same lending segment cost the company upwards of $1 billion in writedowns.
GE's energy infrastructure segment experienced an impressive 30% jump in revenue over the year-ago period, with the strongest growth coming from the BRIC countries, as well as Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East. This marked the third consecutive quarter of at least 9% revenue growth for this division. Although energy and infrastructure profits fell by 9% because of lower wind margins, GE appears significantly more diversified than its solar counterparts like First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR ) and SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWRA ) (Nasdaq: SPWRB ) , which have been crushed by falling prices for solar panels. As solar companies struggle to stay afloat, GE's alternative energies are charging ahead and putting profits in the books.
GE's other segments weren't slouches, either. The company's aviation and health-care segment provided steady revenue growth of 10% and 9%, respectively, while the transportation sector kicked in a 94% jump in overall profits.
Now keep in mind, Wall Street didn't like this report much. I, however, think this is another step closer for GE to getting back to its roots -- namely, lending and energy innovations. The company has been able to generate $6.5 billion in cash from industrial operations over the past nine months, which facilitated the purchase of $1 billion worth of shares during the third quarter. With GE having ended the quarter with $91 billion in consolidated cash and sporting a dividend yield of 3.7%, I really don't see what Wall Street is pouting about.
GE looks well on its way to reclaiming its spot among Wall Street's dividend elites -- but don't stop there. Reserve your copy of our latest free report which can help you "Secure Your Future With 11 Rock-Solid Dividend Stocks."

Flip Schultz
When Flip Schultz was eight years old, he won a summer camp talent show by performing stand up comedy. There was never a doubt in his mind that comedy would be his future.
For a while he performed wherever he could find an audience, whether at a family get together, bar-mitzvahs, seniors center; he didn't care. He just wanted to make people laugh.
Finally, at 18, he braved a real comedy stage and won the open mic contest. For the next few years Flip performed at many comedy clubs (and bars) honing his craft, paying his dues and finding his comedic voice. And he still managed to earn his degree in theater.
As a writer, Flip has written many short plays, a musical, and was an on staff writer for Terry Fator & Friends Show in Las Vegas. Flip has also written a film called "Mr. Right Before" (© 2002) that was one of 250 scripts to make it into the second round of competition in HBO's Project Greenlight.
After leaving South Florida as a local favorite, Flip now lives in Los Angeles and tours clubs & colleges all over the country, and has quickly become a sought after comic in Scandinavia. His show; which has an acumen for social satire and vivid characterizations, has made him a favorite on the LA comedy scene and a regular performer at the world famous Hollywood Improv.

Police arrested a man accused of putting a 65-year-old woman into a headlock while robbing a Kenner convenience store. Brent McConnell, 34, of 5608 Arlene St., Metairie, was arrested at a nearby apartment complex within minutes of the robbery, which occurred just before 4 p.m. Wednesday (April 9), said Sgt. Brian McGregor, spokesman for the Kenner Police.
Authorities say McConnell entered a store in the 4200 block of Williams Boulevard in Kenner, selected a candy bar and took it to the counter as if to check out. But he, instead, dashed behind the counter, put the 65-year-old cashier in a headlock and choked her, McGregor said.
He pushed the woman into the counter, knocking off her glasses and grabbed the cash register before running out the store. McConnell then smashed the register on the ground and grabbed the cash inside, McGregor said.
A witness directed responding officers to the Pelican Bay apartments at 2150 42st, Kenner, where they spotted McConnell attempting to enter through a gate. He was taken into custody.
McConnell told officers he robbed the store because he was experiencing financial problems and didn't have any money, McGregor said. Investigators booked him with simple robbery, simple battery of the infirmed and simple criminal damage to property. He was being held without bond Thursday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna.

Looking at the Alpena hockey team's stats this season, it's hard to make a case against Jared Kwiatkowski making an impact for the Wildcats every time he steps on the ice.
The junior forward has registered a point in all but four of Alpena's games this season and leads the team with 32 points (18 goals and 14 assists).
After posting just three points, all assists, last season as a sophomore, Kwiatkowski has flourished this season on the Wildcats' first line, skating primarily with Sam Rumbles and Zach Nash. While the trio hasn't always skated together during games, they've combined for 85 points this year.
Article Photos
The trio worked on developing chemistry together over the summer, skating together and working on passing when no one else was on the ice. For them, playing for the Wildcats came naturally after coming up through youth hockey programs together.
"Me and Jared played all 14 years together all the way up and Zach was with us every other year," Rumbles said.
At the center of the trio is Kwiatkowski, who has had five multi-goal games this season, the most recent of which came on Feb. 19 in a loss to Cadillac.
Fact Box
Division 2 Hockey Pre-Regional at Traverse City
Benzie Central vs. Traverse City Central- 5:30 p.m.
Traverse City St. Francis vs. Alpena- 7 p.m.
"Jared's one of the most skilled players on the team offensively and defensively," Alpena coach Pete Doubek said. "He's got great reach. He can reach almost from the blue line and to the red line and he's great on shorthand."
As the Wildcats (10-12-1) enter district play tonight, they'll undoubtedly be looking to Kwiatkowski to lead them.
Alpena plays the Traverse Bay Reps at 7 p.m. today at Centre Ice Arena in Traverse City in a Division 2 pre-regional game. Benzie Central plays Traverse City Central in the other pre-regional game with the two winners meeting on Wednesday.
The Reps (11-12-1) are no stranger to the Wildcats, having beaten them 6-0 in a pre-regional final last season before losing to Kingsford 9-2 in the regional final.
"We know we're playing the reps and they're pretty good," Kwiatkowski said. "We lost 6-0 but we played pretty good."
While the Reps have had up and down points during the season, they've held their own against tough competition, playing to one-goal losses against Traverse City Central, Traverse City West and posting a recent win over Cheboygan. Muskegon Mona Shores and Escanaba have also tested the Reps this season.
But the Reps are not to be taken lightly. They own a 6-2-1 home record and have a trio of scorers with at least 24 points. Junior forward Zach Hill leads the Reps with 27 points, followed by Kevin Banducci (25 points) and P.J. Heger (24 points).
Contributions from Kwiatkowski, Rumbles and others will be crucial to any success the Wildcats have in the postseason. Several players going down with injuries has left Alpena with a shorthanded lineup, but no shortage of determination.
"We've been trying to emphasize our desire to go as far as we can and every game and every skate out here we're just trying to get ready for it," Doubek said.
If everyone contributes tonight, it could pay big dividends for the Wildcats. Alpena had five different players score and got a solid goaltending performance in net from Bret LeTourneau during a 6-4 win over Gaylord in its regular season finale on Thursday.
"We're got to get back to playing 100 percent with everybody giving 100 percent effort," Doubek said. "When we're positive on the bench, good things happen on the ice."

ESF's Envira Duck Takes Honors as Fine-Feathered Friend
Recognized as "Most Finely Crafted Duck"
SYRACUSE — ESF's Envira Duck brought honor to ESF by being named "Most Finely Crafted Duck" in the Duck Race to End Racism June 9 at the Syracuse Inner Harbor. Kudos to Wendy Osborne in the Office of Communications for her incredible duck-orating skills.
However, Envira Duck showed no interest in shaking her tail feathers to win the race and ducked her responsibility by letting the National Grid duck take the checkered flag. Envira took a decidedly leisurely paddle down the Onondaga Creek raceway. She remained in the middle of the flock the entire race enjoying the company of her fellow lame ducks who also showed no desire to shake a webbed foot toward the finish line.
Following the race, Envira Duck was treated well by her duck handler Connor Moore who shared an ice cream sandwich with her (as quackers and milk were unavailable) and later let her spend the afternoon floating in his kiddie pool.

New operations director at Harrison Hills
CADIZ – Harrison Hills City School District will have a new director of operations this year.
Mark Kowalski will assume the title and duties. His job will cover transportation, food services, payroll and buildings and grounds. He is stepping into the shoes of Ed Kovacik, who has served as director of operation for several years.
Kowalski thanked George Ash, superintendent, and the school board for their confidence.
"I really appreciate Ash and the board affording me the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Kovacik in the latter months of his career," he said, noting the extensive food service and transportation operation. "We're talking about over a million-dollar business with transportation in our district."
He added the reimbursement from the Ohio Department of Education is more than $1 million. The cafeteria is a more than $80,000-per-month business requiring monthly reports.
"There's a lot of responsibilities there that people don't see. And people trust us to make sure we're putting good products out in our cafeterias and that we're taking care of kids, picking them up and getting them home safely. (It's) a lot of responsibility, but I appreciate the opportunity," he said.
In addition, the district must continue to adhere to new regulations from the National School Lunch Program, determining what may be served in cafeterias. Standards are focusing on low-fat, whole grain and other more healthy foods.
"We're going to continue tweaking or revamping our menu to meet the national standards. We have a dietitian who's done our menu for us this year and will continue to make the necessary changes along with the federal laws that are coming down."
"Transportation starts in this district at 5 a.m. every day," he said, adding buses are often on the road well into the night and on weekends when extracurricular activities are taken into account.
Mechanics are also on duty. He carries a radio and remains on call in the event of emergency.
"It's really a round-the-clock thing," he said.
He complimented staff members for their quality and hard work.
"We've got some really good people working in our transportation department along with our food service and our buildings and grounds, and we're going to continue to work and try to improve those areas and keep things going in the right direction, which Ed has done in his time as director of operations," Kowalski said.
An upcoming change is the project to move the district's fleet of 26 buses to a new garage on Industrial Park Road. The district covers 384 square miles, and buses carry close to 1,300 students.
Duran Morgan has taken on Kowalski's former role of building principal. Kowalski has worked in the high school building for the past seven years.
"That building will always hold a special place in my heart. There's a lot of good people there. A lot of good kids walk those halls, have and will continue to, but I think it's in very good hands," Kowalski said.
Kovacik served the district during periods of fiscal caution and reorganization that necessitated cuts and the closing of three buildings.
"We've come a long way in the last four or five years of our safety plans, our success in food service, the work we're doing on buildings and grounds, the plans we have for preventive maintenance and improvements in the district," he said, adding Harrison Hills has been deemed one of the most efficient and safe districts in the state.
He added Kowalski has been working with him on a part-time basis since last year to familiarize himself with the system and duties.
Kovacik is closing out a 35-year career as an educator and his 39th year as a bus driver.
"We've had a transition plan for Mr. Kovacik's retirement," said Ash. "Although Mr. Kovacik's experience and work abilities are irreplaceable, Mr. Kowalski has chosen to step up and take those responsibilities. He's been mentoring under Mr. Kovacik for the past two years. He's up to the task of being director of operations."

Wernli, Heini and Paulat, Marcus and Hagen, Martin and Frei, Christoph (2008) SAL - A Novel Quality Measure for the Verification of Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts. Monthly Weather Review, 136, pp. 4470-4487. DOI: 10.1175/2008MWR2415.1.

A novel object-based quality measure, which contains three distinct components that consider aspects of the structure (S), amplitude (A), and location (L) of the precipitation field in a prespecified domain (e.g., a river catchment) is introduced for the verification of quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF). This quality measure is referred to as SAL. The amplitude component A measures the relative deviation of the domain-averaged QPF from observations. Positive values of A indicate an overestimation of total precipitation; negative values indicate an underestimation. For the components S and L, coherent precipitation objects are separately identified in the forecast and observations; however, no matching is performed of the objects in the two datasets. The location component L combines information about the displacement of the predicted (compared to the observed) precipitation field's center of mass and about the error in the weighted-average distance of the precipitation objects from the total field's center of mass. The structure component S is constructed in such a way that positive values occur if precipitation objects are too large and/or too flat, and negative values if the objects are too small and/or too peaked. Perfect QPFs are characterized by zero values for all components of SAL. Examples with both synthetic precipitation fields and real data are shown to illustrate the concept and characteristics of SAL. SAL is applied to 4 yr of daily accumulated QPFs from a global and finer-scale regional model for a German river catchment, and the SAL diagram is introduced as a compact means of visualizing the results. SAL reveals meaningful information about the systematic differences in the performance of the two models. While the median of the S component is close to zero for the regional model, it is strongly positive for the coarser-scale global model. Consideration is given to the strengths and limitations of the novel quality measure and to possible future applications, in particular, for the verification of QPFs from convection-resolving weather prediction models on short time scales.

I just started back at work this week and I have two questions:
1) I am gone for two feedings and my 12wk old daughter eats between 4-5oz during the first missed feeding and 3-4oz during the second. Since she doesn't eat a set amount there is usually some leftover milk in her bottle. Is it ok to use that leftover milk later in the day or over the next day or two?
2) When I pump at work do I need to freeze the breastmilk right away or can I put it in the fridge at work and then freeze it later when I get home?
Thanks for all your help

Israeli rugby is going places, says Penn
Israel's rugby team scored a 26-5 away victory over Andorra last weekend.
Following its win over Serbia last month, newly-promoted Israel are the only team in the European Nations Cup Qualifying Group 2B with a 100 per cent record after two games.
Despite freezing conditions in Andorra, Israel edged the first half 7-5 thanks to an Eitan Humphries try.
Israel dominated the second half as tries from Ronen Tolman and Natan Brosh clinched the game.
Israel coach Ra'anan Penn told The JC: "This was another battling performance and with home games against Denmark and Latvia in April we are confident of finishing top, which will put us into the 2015 Rugby World Cup finals qualifying tournament."
But Penn is remaining realistic of his team's chances of making a dream appearance at Twickenham and says promotion to Group 2A is the best they can hope for.
He added: "If we could win two rounds that would be a sensation. I think Group 2A would be as far as this team can go.
"It's an ageing team, but we have fantastic teenagers coming through and Israeli media interest has increased a thousand-fold."

LOWER ALLOWAYS CREEK TWP. — Federal officials say they want assurances from PSEG Nuclear, operator of Salem County's three nuclear power plants, that its workers aren't afraid to speak up if they spot problems.
The utility says its employees do raise concerns when they see them and will "again reinforce" that it expects them to do so.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in a letter to company officials which was released publicly on Friday, expressed concerns about the potential for what it calls a "chilling effect" among employees in light of a recent U.S. District Court verdict involving a whistle-blower case filed by a former security guard at the generating site.
The NRC, which oversees operations of all of the nation's nuclear power plants, cited the case in which Robert Scull, of Pittsgrove Township, who had been a security manager with the Wackenhut firm, now known as G4S Secure Solutions, was fired in October 2009.
The firm is contracted by PSEG Nuclear to provide security at the Artificial Island generating complex.
Scull was awarded $400,000 by a jury in compensatory damages in June for the firing under New Jersey's Conscientious Employee Protection Act.
The jury found that Scull had been retaliated against for raising concerns about staffing practices "which he reasonably believed violated federal law (NRC regulations)," the NRC says in its letter.
PSEG Nuclear operates Salem 1, Salem 2 and the Hope Creek reactors at its Artificial island generating complex in Lower Alloways Creek. The complex is the second largest commercial nuclear generating site in the U.S.
The NRC noted that Scull did not actually reported his concerns to them.
"[T]he finding that Wackenhut retaliated against the individual for engaging in a protected activity raises questions with the NRC as to whether the work environment at Salem and Hope Creek is such that employees are encouraged and willing to raise safety and regulatory concerns," the NRC letter says.
While Wackenhut was the only party named in the whistle-blower case, the NRC says "However, PSEG, as the NRC license holder for Salem and Hope Creek, is responsible and accountable for the actions of its contractors when engaged in NRC-regulated activities."
"We are confident that the right nuclear safety-conscious work environment still exists within PSEG Nuclear and that employees and contractors are comfortable raising concerns," said Joe Delmar, spokesman for PSEG Nuclear.
"However, we are taking this opportunity to once again reinforce the nuclear safety culture expectations with our employees and leadership."
"[T]he NRC is requesting that PSEG inform the NRC of the actions it has taken, is taking, and plans to take, to ensure Wackenhut's actions, as found by the jury in its verdict, do not have a chilling effect on the willingness of PSEG employees, and its contractors, to raise safety and regulatory concerns either internally or to the NRC," the letter said.
The NRC says it wants a response from the utility in 30 days.
Delmar said officials will comply with the request.
In 2004, the NRC had raised concerns with PSEG Nuclear about workers speaking up to ensure a "safety-conscious work environment" issues at the Island.
But the utility resolved those issues to the federal regulators' satisfaction, according to NRC Spokesman Neil Sheehan.
"We have not identified any problems in recent years and we are not certain there are any issues at the site now," Sheehan said Friday. "But the jury did find in respect to this individual (Scull) that he was improperly fired. We want to ensure there are no problems that would preclude members of the workforce from raising safety concerns."
He called the letter to plant officials as "a proactive measure to ensure there is a workplace environment to encourage employees to raise workplace concerns without fear of retaliation."
There are approximately 1,500 workers employed by PSEG Nuclear at Artificial Island plus 200 on-site contractors, according to Delmar.
Delmar said the utility cannot comment on the number of security personnel at the side. However, it is believed to be several hundred personnel.

India's Gujjar mess underlines problem of relying on quotas
There is no doubt that India is a deeply unequal society, that people at the bottom of the pile face discrimination, and struggle for the opportunities they need to raise themselves up. But is the answer caste- or tribe-based quotas in government jobs and universities?
from FaithWorld:
India's Hindu caste quotas edge towards private companies
The issue of redressing the imbalance of Hinduism's ancient caste system by creating job and college entry quotas for lower caste and other disadvantaged groups in India seems to be gaining headway in an election year. Now it may be the turn for private industry.

The proposal received a warm reception from City Council on Monday following a presentation by New Hope Chamber of Commerce representative Nick Gialias of The Logan Inn, New Hope Mayor Larry Keller and borough Councilman Bill Scandone.
As long as it can raise enough money from sponsors — $60,000 — the chamber envisions an eight to 10-minute display on 15 Fridays from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends, starting at about 9 p.m.
"Our objective is to re-establish the two towns as a premiere destination for summer traffic. It would help the struggling business districts… And it would be a unique event for residents," said Gialias.
He said the display would be sent airborne from a barge anchored in the middle of the 1,000-foot-wide Delaware River, south of the free bridge.
He estimates that restaurants and bars, "some of the biggest businesses in both towns," would contribute 25% of the cost and the vendors who supply them, another 50%. "They invest in our towns, and we invest in them," Gialias said of the vendors. He said the remaining money could come from donors such as other small businesses or the New Hope and Lambertville Area chambers of commerce.
He would ask merchants unable to give a donation to support the effort by "paying staff" to remain open until 10 p.m. on summer Fridays. And he's hoping that establishments serving alcohol will offer summer Friday "happy" hours of 5-7 p.m.
"We need your OK to solicit funds," Gialias told Lambertville's mayor and council. He got words of encouragement, along with a special meeting on Wednesday, March 31 at 7 p.m. at the Justice Center. In the meantime, Mayor David DelVecchio told Gialias to meet with city police and volunteer fire and rescue units to work out any concerns they might have.
New Hope's council will review the fireworks plan on April 14, said Scandone.
Fourth of July displays were cancelled 15 years ago by the New Hope Chamber, which had taken over funding the display from Lambertville and New Hope. A New Hope councilman at the time said that it was too dangerous because of the traffic jams.
Lambertville's sesquicentennial committee in 1999 planned a display in West Amwell Township, but that was scrapped because a drought had increased the risk of fire.
Offering smaller displays the summer long, organizers and officials agree, should result in much smaller crowds. The Fourth of July fireworks had been launched from Holcombe Island, said the mayor. Gialias said that Garden State Fireworks wants a 300-foot buffer for safety, and will get that by using a barge.
Gialias said that Garden State would be liable for any damage caused by the fireworks but said the firm has an excellent record and extensive experience, including major displays for Macy's and the Olympics. For $4,000 weekly, Gialias said that Garden State guaranteed him a show that is "completely different" each week while maintaining a "wow" factor.
"Our ultimate goal is not to overwhelm the town" any one night, said Gialias. "We want people to come in early, stay all night at a bed-and-breakfast, then shop the next day."
Dan Whitaker, an owner of the Lambertville Station restaurant and Inn at Lambertville Station, asked that fireworks be set off between 9:30 and 10 p.m., saying that would be "less child-friendly. We're not a child-friendly community" and he didn't think businesses want to encourage parents to "drive 20 minutes" with children who might "suck on a lollipop" or ice cream before returning home.
Gialias later said that the goal of the fireworks proponents is to "attract every sort of person — older, younger, families, couples… They will all find their own place" to patronize in the river towns. "There's enough diversity here."
He said that he'd spoken with a number of business people and New Hope residents and the response to the fireworks proposal was unanimously positive. "We've gone through some tough times: floods, the economy, the recent weather… This might be the best summer we ever had, instead of leaving us wondering how to pay the bills."

If Health Care Reform is Repealed, How Would it Affect Southern California? | KCET
If Health Care Reform is Repealed, How Would it Affect Southern California?
If the health care reform law passed by Congress last year is repealed, it would allow insurance companies to deny coverage to between 2.5 million and 6.6 million individuals in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, including between 200,000 to 910,000 children with pre-existing conditions.
That, at least, is what Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) said today in a letter to colleagues who today will be considering a repeal of the Affordable Care Act on the House floor. He, along with Rep. Frank Pallone (D-New Jersey), had Democrat staff of the Committee on Energy and Commerce analyze the impacts of repeal in every congressional district and in 30 metropolitan areas of the country.
"We believe many members, especially newly elected ones, may be surprised by the results. Health care reform is already delivering important health benefits to your constituents," the two congressmen wrote. "We regret that there have been no hearings on the implications of repeal. The failure to hold hearings denies members and the public an opportunity to understand fully what is at stake."
Republicans from the committee have not responded, but are planning to put out a statement today or tomorrow, an aide told KCET.
The analysis includes data from all Southern California districts as well as larger sets for three metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, Riverside-San Bernardino and San Diego (all PDFs).
The White House today was also on the offensive with a report released by the Department of Health and Human Services. It concluded that around 129 million people under the age of 65 with pre-existing conditions could have their insurance jeopardized without the legislation.

MARYSVILLE — At noon on Thursday, July 11, the Marysville Police Department released security tape photos of a suspect in the July 10 Kmart shooting threat incident and officials are hoping that someone may recognize the man or that he may turn himself in to authorities.
The man allegedly threatened to shoot everyone in the State Avenue Kmart store after getting upset when he overhead employees discussing a routine security check, believing that it was aimed at him, officials said.
Employees called 911 and began to usher customers from the building at approximately 6 p.m. Marysville police officers arrived within one minute of the call and began to search the building for the suspect.
Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said it is likely that the suspect had fled prior to police arrival.
"Store employees were reviewing security tape and somebody who had seen or had contact with the suspect did observe the suspect leaving the store on that footage," said Lamoureux. "We arrived on scene within one minute and we believe he was already gone."
It is still unclear whether the man left alone and if he fled on foot or in a vehicle. Authorities are hoping that the photos from the store's surveillance cameras will help identify him.
If you know this man, please call the Marysville Police Department at 360-363-8300.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama _ Eleven months of the year I am a realist. In December I become a child again. I believe in magic.
"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
As a child, I remember tossing and turning in bed and wishing I could sleep so Santa would come; but, my eyes refused to close. I believed Christmas Eve was the longest night of the year.
"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nickolas soon would be there."
I remember our small house with no fireplace. Our young children hung their stockings by the window air conditioner. I told them Santa could vaporize and come through the vents. Amazingly, that is what happened. I know it was true because their stockings were filled and gifts were under our tree.
I remember the aroma of our farm cedar Christmas trees. When attacked by cutting or decorating, cedar retaliates with painful sticks and scrapes. The beautiful little "Charlie Brown" trees are worth the discomfort when decorated with glittering lights and ornaments made by my children and grandchildren. I do not have designer trees, I have sparkling memory trees.
"While visions of sugar plums danced through their heads"
I remember the Christmas day dinners at my Grandmother's house with my aunts, uncles and cousins. We had the traditional turkey and dressing meal and every dessert imaginable. My mother resented Aunt Ginny's baking abilities and thought her boasting by bringing beautifully decorated cakes. I loved Aunt Ginny's cakes and I thought next to opening presents, it was the best part of the day. When it comes to loyalty to your Mother or eating rich cake, the cake is going to win every time.
"A bundle of toys, he had slung on his back"
I remember my father's gift of the much-coveted blue Cinderella watch in the glass slipper. It had a picture of Cinderella in the center of the watch face. I remember the sound as I dropped it onto the concrete floor, never to work again. It is the one gift I still mourn.
I remember getting the "Peter Pan" book I wanted and the dolls I did not want. I remember the Roy Roger's six shooters and a white leather jacket with beading and fringe. There are very few other childhood gifts I remember. Mostly, I remember the joy of Christmas morning.
I remember Christmas with our daughter and son and the gifts of Tommy Turtle, Mrs. Beasley, Lincoln Logs, the BB gun and the BB hole in my window. One year Mother wanted to buy the children a pony. I said: "Get a gentle pony, even if it is ugly." Mother gave them a pretty pony. Christmas day we watched the pretty pony dump our daughter on the ground.
I remember the year my gentle mother-in-law received decorative paper plates from a wealthy family member. Her children and I voiced resentment. I remember her gracious response of "This is a gift and I will enjoy using it."
I remember the gifts from my husband. When we married I set one rule. He could not give me a household gift or anything with a cord attached for Christmas. I expected a personal Christmas gift. I was never disappointed.
"A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, soon gave me to know, I had nothing to dread."
No other word in the Christian vocabulary brings forth as many emotions as the word Christmas. It brings joy, sorrow, expectation, regret, excitement, disappointment, family celebrations and family pettiness. The Christmas season rolls all those emotions into one small word called hope.
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night."
Anne Phillips has been a 2011 Times community columnist.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A longtime Kent County sheriff's corrections officer has pleaded guilty to steroid use, according to court records.
Michael Carlson, 43, and Travis Otten, 23, a former sheriff's department cadet, have pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of use of non-narcotic controlled substance. Sentencing is set for March 24.
Sheriff's department officials received a tip regarding illegal steroids during an unrelated investigation, and controlled substances were turned over to authorities.
Otten was terminated from the cadet program.
Carlson, who has been with the department since 1996, remains on paid leave. A misdemeanor conviction does not preclude employment with the department, Undersheriff Jon Hess said, and an internal affairs investigation is ongoing.

William Grill wanted to make sure his freezer didnt cut out and ruin his frozen food. He was concerned that when he traveled, his food could defrost and re-freeze thus compromising his frozen steaks without his knowledge. So, he developed a gadget that measures freezer temperatures, keeps a history of variance and sends an alarm if freezer temperatures rise above a set range. The gadget is built around a small controller, an alarm and a temperature sensor. While temperature monitors are common, Grills device remembers temperature variance and displays the length of time the freezer rises above the set temp. The gadget is relatively small and costs less than a couple of steaks bought on sale and stored in the freezer.
