At one end of the spectrum are companies like Turnitin.com, based in Oakland, which uses a software program to check the content of student work against millions of sites around the Web and a database of papers from online term-paper mills. |
At the other end are companies like Glatt Plagiarism Services in Chicago, which draw on techniques from cognitive theory to verify authorship. The Glatt Plagiarism Screening program, for example, relies on a method called the "Cloze procedure," originally used in the reading comprehension portion of standardized intell... |
Glatt's founder and president, Dr. Barbara Glatt, says that if the work is authentic, the author will be able to recall most of the missing words. A plagiarist, on the other hand, will invariably flunk the test, or else fess up before taking it. |
"It's a tough test to pass," Glatt said. "I have never gotten 100 percent of them right." |
Nevertheless, she insisted, the Cloze technique is considered highly reliable. Scientists have tried removing the third and fourth words instead, she said, but with much less success. "So far," she added, "no one has ever been falsely accused by the test." . |
Of course, neither of these approaches seems well suited for catching scholarly plagiarists. Professional historians of the stature of Ambrose and Goodwin, both of whom deny plagiarism but concede carelessness, are unlikely to be stealing from online term-paper mills. And though Glatt's approach has the advantage of be... |
The approach Stewart and Feder adopted -- comparing one book to another -- may still be a literary sleuth's best bet. |
"It would be interesting to scan the world's libraries into electronic form and start doing these kinds of comparisons," Bloomfield said with a mischievous laugh. "I'm afraid you'd pop up all kinds of trouble." |

A suspect, who in 2016 allegedly raped both his two daughters and is said to have often battered his wife causing serious injuries, was ordered by the Battambang provincial court to be remanded at the provincial prison on Tuesday, after provincial judicial police arrested him at a construction site in Battambang town. |
Speaking to The Post on Wednesday, Battambang court administrative director Tieng Sambo identified the suspect as Proeung Sovann, 39, from Sangke district. |
He said that three years ago, Sovann allegedly raped his own daughters, then aged 10 and 13, and assaulted his wife on many occasions. After his wife was made aware of the rapes, she reported it to police. |
Sambo said Sovann fled after police served him a summons in response to the complaints. After three years of investigation, Battambang judicial police on Monday arrested him at a construction site in O’Char commune’s Anhchanh village in Battambang town. |
The suspect is facing a sentence of between seven years and 15 years if found guilty, she said. |

Centennial boys soccer beats Long Reach 2-1 at Long Reach High School on Thursday, September 10, 2015. |
After knocking Long Reach out of the playoffs last year, Centennial knew the Lightning would be extra motivated on Thursday for the county opener between the two squads. |
Instead of sitting back and letting the Lightning dictate things, though, Centennial decided it was going to be the aggressor from the get go. |
The Eagles used goals by Michael Merkey in the opening six minutes of each half to provide all the offense it needed to knock off Long Reach, 2-1, on the road. |
The victory improves Centennial, which opened the season with a win and a tie on Saturday in tournament play, to 2-0-1 this fall. Long Reach, meanwhile, playing in its first game, falls to 0-1. |
There are no tricks, no gimmicks and certainly no surprises. At this point, having squared off in regional final games decided by penalty kicks each of the last two years, River Hill and Mt. Hebron arguably know one another better than any two programs in the area. |
On a chilly evening under cloudy skies, the Eagles wasted little time setting the tempo. The team got on the board just less than five minutes in. On a transition opportunity, Michael Merkey got on the end of a ball played to him by Michael Pellegrini and finished into the back of the net for a quick 1-0 Eagles advanta... |
Long Reach coach John Horner watched his team settle in after that, generating several quality chances in the latter stages of the opening half, but talked afterward about how crucial those opening minutes were. |
Neither team scored again in the first half, with Centennial holding a 1-0 advantage at the break. |
Then, just like at the beginning of the game, the Eagles sprinted out of the gates to open the final 40 minutes. Merkey this time finished a feed from Tom Brown on the near post to make it 2-0. |
Long Reach didn’t quit, again bouncing back from the slow start to the half to begin gaining a better part of the possession battle. Finally, just shy of 11 minutes into the second half, the Lightning got on the board. |
Joshua Fawole tracked down a lead pass to get free for a breakaway chance that he finished into the corner of the net. |
Long Reach had several other chances to get even down the stretch, but Centennial goalie EJ Fowler ultimately shut the door on any comeback hopes. The Eagles’ senior finished with seven saves, including a diving stop on a breakaway chance with 10 minutes left in regulation. |
Zehe added that he’s pleased overall with the team’s start. |
“I feel like we’d be feeling pretty good about ourselves just based on how we’re playing, but of course when you can get the results too to back that up, it just feels that much better,” he said. |
Goals: C – Merkey 2; LR – Fawole. |
Assists: C – Pellegrini, Brown. |
Saves: C – Fowler 7; LR – Gilbert 5. |
The Hawks needed a frantic comeback in the final minutes to escape with a victory over the Gladiators, as Gianni Gupta provided the game-tying goal in the final seconds of regulation and then Omar Hraky tallied the game-winner in the second overtime. |
The win keeps River Hill (1-0 county, 4-0 overall) undefeated on the season. |
Fresh off a loss to Catonsville on Saturday, the Vikings were on a mission in their first county game of the season against the Gators. The team scored seven times, getting multiple goals from Lucas Oh, Atticus Cooke and Johnny Linsenmeyer, on the way to the shutout victory. |
Goals: MH – Oh 2, Linsenmeyer 2, Cooke 2, Palin. |
Assists: MH – Linsenmeyer, Palin, Yacynych. |
Saves: MH – Manasterli 5; Re – N/A. |
Goals: WL – Severson 2, Obeng, Lin. |
Assists: WL – Pascale 2. |
Saves: WL – Riley 8; Ha – N/A. |
The Scorpions trailed 2-1 before making a late comeback to win by a goal. The team’s goals came from Michael Ahumada, off an assist from Khaaliq Canada; Jefferson Fuentes, also off an assist from Canada; and Macklin Anderson on a feed from Hymad N’Diaye. |
It was the first victory of the season for Oakland Mills after dropping both games in its own tournament over the weekend. |

Salem, OR – Judge Paul Lipscomb rejected SCR 1 and ruled today that it is unconstitutional for the Legislature to hold an emergency special session for the purpose of testing annual sessions. The court recognized that Oregon’s Constitution limits the legislature to biennial sessions and the legislature cannot test annu... |
The Legislature fast-tracked SCR1 through the legislature on the first day of last year’s session. SCR1 declared, more than one year in advance, that the legislature’s need to test annual sessions without submitting a constitutional amendment to voters was an emergency that would require the legislature to meet in Febr... |
The case now goes before the Oregon Supreme Court for review later this week. |
“I believe this lawsuit may encourage more legislators in both parties to speak up when we see the legislative leadership’s ongoing and blatant disregard for a fair process, the rule of law, the Oregon constitution, and the will of the Oregon voters,” concluded George. |

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.S. sales and marketing software company Salesforce (CRM.N) said on Monday it signed an agreement to acquire Datorama, an Israeli cloud-based artificial intelligence marketing platform. |
Terms of the deal were not disclosed but Israeli media reported it was worth more than $800 million. Datorama in Tel Aviv declined to comment. |
Salesforce has been a key beneficiary of so-called digital transformations - a growing trend in which companies move their operations onto lower cost cloud-based services that offer more scalability. |
The company previously raised $50 million in private money and employs 400 people. |

Future generations will look back on this decade and wonder how the world didn’t act sooner to fight global warming and economic depression—the twin threats to civilization. |
In the first quarter of 2014, the economic impact of extreme weather related to climate change, combined with the inherent weakness of an economy suffering through a depression, produced a preliminary estimate of nearly no economic growth. This stark portrayal is a far cry from how the 0.1% GDP growth of the quarter ha... |
Thus we continue to endure the two most consequential events of the recent decade without acknowledging either for what they are. |
In the case of climate change, this timidity is understandable as change comes as weather and there will never be one clear event that signals indisputably that we’ve entered the climate rapids. Fifty years from now, however, odds are that historians will mark the first decade of this new millennium as the point at whi... |
Similarly, future economic historians will likely mark the financial crash of 2008 as the beginning of a depression (it would be nice if they would come back in time and told us when it will end). Here too, it is understandable because there is such a high noise-to-signal ratio amid an incessant drumbeat of often confl... |
Part of the problem is that definitions of depression abound (the concept is so nebulous that the National Bureau of Economic Research, which officially calls recessions, demurs on the question of calling depressions). The description of depression that fits the present situation is a sustained period in which economic... |
Recognizing that things have truly changed has always been difficult for those living through inflection points in history. Those deepest inside the U.S. government and the intelligence community in the late 1980s were among the last to acknowledge that the Cold War was really over as the Soviet Union unraveled. “The G... |
This blindness is deeply embedded in human nature. Such is our commitment to the world view we forge during our formative years that often we can’t see what is literally staring us in the face. Jerome Brumer, father of gestalt psychology, demonstrated this in a celebrated experiment in which he showed people a deck of ... |
Does it matter whether and when we put a label on an era? Yes, greatly. Our reticence to state the obvious but unproven may be understandable, and even prudent, but it is not helpful. Recognizing that the changing climate carries with it harsh economic consequences might spur action to limit the harm. The Obama adminis... |
Similarly, while economists will argue over whether the present period of near zero growth and stretched household finances is a depression long after the economy really does recover, acknowledging that for all but a tiny group of Americans the economy is in depression would do a world of good. For one thing, there mig... |
So, let’s acknowledge the obvious. The upside is that we might muster the political will to develop policies that match reality. Do we want those yet unborn historians (who are going to be royally annoyed about the world we bequeath them anyway) wondering how it was that we ignored what was staring us in the face? |

Q: Who is left in the US Open? |
A: Surprisingly, Pete Sampras and Lindsay Davenport. Both competed against players (Richard Krajicek and Serena Williams) who have given them trouble in the past. Also, No. 1 seed Martina Hingis will take on third-seeded Venus Williams, who won Wimbledon earlier this summer, in today's semifinals. |
Q: Who is the only unseeded player to make the semifinals? |
A: Russia's Elena Dementieva. She plays Davenport in the semifinals today. |
Q: How did Martina Navratilova fare? |
A: Coming out of retirement, Navratilova lost her third-round women's doubles match (partnered with Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario). "I'm planning on being back," she says. "No reason to get nostalgic yet." |
Donald Trump wants to put up $1 million for a modern battle-of-the-sexes match between John McEnroe and Venus Williams. After reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open Sunday, Venus replied, "Right now, I'm just really focusing on trying to win this US Open...." |
But after visiting town for Lasch Bash weekend, Whigan went with the Nittany Lions. |
By the time Whigan arrives, fifth-year tackle Chasz Wright will be gone, and if he has an impressive 2018 season, Ryan Bates might leave early for the NFL, too. |
That, combined with Nana Asiedu’s retirement, makes the addition of Whigan an important one for James Franklin and offensive line coach Matt Limegrover. |
THE search for the driver responsible for Jade Clark’s death sparked the largest-scale inquiry ever carried out by Dorset Police’s traffic unit, the force has revealed. |
Brian Hampton, 58, was jailed for six years on Wednesday for killing Jade in a collision and lying in an attempt to cover his tracks. |
A team of traffic cops, together with detectives from the force’s Major Crime Investigation Team and officers from around the country, spent weeks searching for the driver. |
A witness told police the car involved was a Volvo XC90 and this was supported by debris found at the scene. Police established the car was manufactured between 2003 and 2007. |
During their investigation, police examined more than 1,500 XC90s and interviewed countless witnesses. |
