Grant Received from Nevada Commission on Cultural Affairs for
Restoration of Dayton's Historic 1881 C&C Railroad Depot!
The Historical Society of Dayton Valley as stewards for Lyon County for Dayton's 1881 Carson & Colorado Railroad Depot
has received a grant to begin the restoration of depot. The project will be beginning this summer.
The goal of the project is to return our historic 1881 depot to its original appearance
and make it Dayton's "Gateway to the Comstock." Our depot is one of only three remaining original 1880s C&C passenger depots and the
only one in Nevada. After restoration it will be the only C&C depot returned to original 1880s appearance.
We are also researching and restoring our "new" 1888 narrow-gauge boxcar, SP 84.
We would love to have you in our Railroad Working Group! We did a lot of work for Railroad Days and that will continue!
If you want to join us, help research or plan either restoration, and/or help with clean-up,
donations, or any other aspects of the project---or just want more information---please attend a monthly meeting (see above),
email Railroad Working Group, call 775-246-0505 or 775-546-3725.

Welcome to Historic Dayton, Nevada!
In January 1999, a supermarket opened in Dayton Valley
and has now become the nucleus of one of several Valley shopping complexes. Dayton Valley now boasts two medical complexes, two veterinary
clinics, numerous eateries, several casinos, gas stations, mechanics, and the other amenities of a modern community. New subdivisions,
five schools, a public library, a senior center, museums, churches, fire departments, an airstrip, industrial facilities, and business
areas reflect rapid change.
In the summer of 1999, Dayton celebrated the 150th
year since the first discovery of gold in Nevada, which occurred at the mouth of Gold Ca˝on in today's Old Town Dayton. Then, in May 2001,
Dayton celebrated the 150th anniversary of its settlement -- the oldest permanent settlement in the state of Nevada.
Old Town Dayton's Pike Street was once the Overland
Trail, which brought many thousands of immigrants westward in the 1840s and 1850s. Today Old Town retains its board sidewalks and homes,
shops, and eateries housed in buildings with origins in Dayton's historic past.
At the historic Dayton Museum in Old Town on
Shady Lane at Logan, young and old gather to review the town's unique history. The Museum was established by volunteers in the early
1980s in an 1865 school house. It contains memorabilia, quilts, and photographs from Dayton's history, including pioneers, prospectors
and miners, woodcutters, Native Americans, Chinese, Italians, ranching, railroading, the Sutro Tunnel and early Lyon County history.
The museum is open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. We are closed in December, January, and February, depending on weather. The museum is also open by appointment. In May,
to celebrate Nevada Archaelogical Awareness and Historic Preservation month, the museum is open every day of the week.
For information or appointments, or to volunteer, call 775-246-3527 or 775-246-3256, or, email
Museum or Historian.
Dayton enjoys four beautiful seasons, giving the area
a new look with each. Nonetheless, the typical weather is pleasant and moderate year around.

It seems like more people may be choosing South Bend as a place to call home, even as they get up there in age. AARP released a list that ranked South Bend in the top ten for places to retire, for a good price and community members say they aren't surprised.
"I like South Bend, I think South Bend has a lot going for it," says retiree Rick Rice.
He retired a couple years ago and moved to the city from Granger shortly after. "More and more people are coming here because it's centrally located."
He says he isn't surprised that people are chosing South Bend to retire. "You've got the nice restaurants downtown, parks, the farmer's market we can walk to, and there's just so much you can do."
The city is featured in this month's AARP The Magazine's Best Places to Retire For Less and DTSB executive director Aaron Perri says he agrees this is an affordable place to settle. "The cost of living is excellent if you don't have a consistent income coming in or a lower income coming in."
Besides housing, he says there are plenty of dinning and entertainment options for cheap. "Retirees can take advantage of those things probably better than us with full time jobs are able to do."
With theaters, museums, and the riverwalk, he says there are plenty of things to do for all ages. "All the reasons the article cited are excellent reasons to live in South Bend, whether you're retired or not."
And spokesperson Dennis Brown says the University of Notre Dame adds to the appeal. "There is so much going on that can be of interest to a wide array of people."
He says the university hosts many events are free or discounted for senior citizens. "I know a lot of the seniors in our community attend, for example women's basketball and volleyball, a lot of the fans there are seniors in the South Bend community."
And Rice says those are just the type of events he enjoys participating in, which is why he doesn't plan on living anywhere else. "This is home."
The one downfall that retirees say South Bend has is snow! Many folks we talked with say they try to get away during the winter months.

Jobs report might snow investors
February's storms might have delayed start dates and hiring at some companies, making last month's employment figures less reliable.
By Sung Moss, TheStreet
The larger meaning of Friday's government jobs report may be buried under a few feet of snow.
The monthly nonfarm payrolls report, to be released by the Labor Department at 8:30 a.m. ET Friday, is known to set the economic tone for any given month. But economists and equity strategists are bewildered about what to expect for February, when several major snowstorms disrupted business across the country.
"It may show the jobs picture is worse than it actually is," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies, whose firm expects to see a loss of 122,000 jobs.
February's storms, which shuttered offices and schools in the Northeast, may make last month's nonfarm payroll figures less reliable, reflecting a deeper-than-expected drop due to delayed hiring and start dates.
Most analysts are expecting some sustained jobs growth soon, but it probably didn't happen in February. According to Briefing.com, many economists estimate that another 65,000 jobs were shed from nonfarm payrolls in February, while the unemployment rate probably edged higher to 9.8%.
- MSN Careers: Companies hiring this month
The jobs picture has taken on renewed importance in recent months as a sea of workers remain adrift in the unemployed ranks. The Labor Department said the nation lost another 20,000 jobs in January. But bulls were given something to cheer about as the unemployment rate dropped to 9.7%.
Bearish investors found more than enough ammunition in the report, too. The so-called "underemployment" rate, which includes part-timers seeking full-time work and discouraged workers who have stopped looking, remains high at 16.5%. More workers are also unemployed for longer periods, as the number of people unemployed for 27 weeks or more rose to 6.3 million. And the ranks of jobless minorities are vastly outpacing the broader population, with 16.5% of blacks and 12.6% of Hispanics counted among the unemployed.
The Senate attempted to respond last week by passing a $15 billion jobs stimulus package by a 70-28 vote. Republican Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky came under fire this week when he attempted to delay an extension on jobless benefits, only to relent under criticism.
Not all experts expect winter storms to impact the jobs number, but enough of them are worried.
"There's going to be a lot of noise in these upcoming data," said Larry Adam, U.S. chief investment strategist at Deutsche Bank (DB) Private Wealth Management. "So, I wouldn't overreact one way or the other. I think it's more important to look at it on a trend basis rather than a cycle basis. Our economist thinks we'll see a pretty good rebound in March on the idea the employment market is starting to recover."
The noise may also force market observers to put more focus on the unemployment rate, which is culled from a separate survey.
Regardless of Friday's numbers, there are some encouraging figures suggesting such a recovery. An assessment from Automatic Data Processing (ADP) showed private-sector employers shed their fewest jobs in two years, while a separate report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas said layoff announcements fell 41% last month.
Big names like Merck (MRK) and Oracle (ORCL) continued making layoff news last month. But just this week, Kohl's (KSS) said it would open several new stores, which will add more than 1,500 positions.
The Institute for Supply Management also offered readings on the service and manufacturing sectors, each showing labor market improvements in their respective sectors.
In what Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at ChannelCapitalResearch.com, says last week's decline in initial jobless claims "bodes well for the numbers tomorrow." New claims for unemployment benefits fell by 29,000 to a seasonally adjusted 469,000 last week. Though first-time applications for state unemployment insurance have remained around 450,000 in recent weeks, they're down from last year's highs of almost 700,000.
Firms are also improving productivity, doing more with less after slashing costs and employees, which could allow many companies to delay hiring. The Labor Department said worker output rose 6.9% in the fourth quarter at an annual rate.
Observers will dissect Friday's report for clues on the economic recovery. Employment in the manufacturing industry showed positive growth for the first time in three years in January, so many will look for a trend in February's report. Others will be looking closely at temporary hiring figures, which some see as a precursor for future growth.

In the interest of saving time, checking things off my to-do list, and branching out into "simpler" territory, I decided to design a new series of dolls, the CraftyisCool Minis! Don't get me wrong. I really prefer making larger dolls like I've always done because of all the little details I can fit in. It's not that they are even all that large, but they do have more parts and take a little more time than your average Amigurumi Monster.
It was about a week before the new season of Breaking Bad premiered and I had really wanted to make a set of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman to celebrate it. I didn't think I'd have time to make the dolls, write the pattern, proofread the pattern, and then publish it before the show premiered. I decided to shrink my normal design into a cute little version, about 4" tall.
|Breaking Bad Amigurumi Minis
Little Walt and Jesse each have a hat, hazmat jumpsuit and tiny bag of crystal. I wrote a pattern to combine the two dolls, and really, they don't take too long to make. The doll is mostly one piece from head to foot, with added arms. Lots of little details added make them recognizable, I think.
|Where's my gas mask?!
|In his underwear, yo!
|The blue stuff!
I was lucky enough that BoingBoing did a piece on the dolls and word got around. I'd love to hear from Bryan Cranston and/or Aaron Paul and send them their own sets! (So hey, anyone reading that can make that happen, yeah that would be awesome... ;) )
Not long after I made the Breaking Bad dolls, my husband and I went to see Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. LOVED. I've always been a fan of Wes Anderson movies. A friend of mine and I used to ask potential dates if they liked the movie Rushmore. It was a gauge of how compatible we were with that person. If he said, "Love it!", check! If he said "Never seen it!", potential was still there. If he said, "I don't get it!/Not funny!", deal breaker! In hindsight I guess that was pretty shallow, but it was a pretty good test! My friend's potential partner hadn't ever seen it so we scheduled a "screening." The whole time he just had this puzzled "huh?" look on his face. It didn't work out between them.
During Moonrise Kingdom there is a scene where the two leads, Suzy and Sam, get married and walk in slow motion out of a little chapel. As they were walking I leaned over and told my husband (sorry for talking during the movie, Alamo!), "I have to make dolls of them!" The next day I made these little guys.
|Moonrise Kingdom Amigurumi Minis
If you've seen the movie, you'll recognize Suzy's blue eyeshadow and portable record player and Sam's coonskin cap and glasses. Suzy's record player snaps open and the record is removable. Sam is wearing his late mother's pearl and gold brooch and a felt raccoon Khaki Scout badge.

Editors' reviewThis is one image download program where you better read every prompt during setup. Though not openly promoted, Nici is widely used as a program that searches for, downloads, and secures adult images. If you fail to disable the "accept and enable adult only" feature and set the program to autopilot, Nici will automatically download porn images from its listed sites. The program also features an obscure mode that renames and hides files so others can't find them. The program is full of customization features, including more than 10 interface skins. If you use the search feature, it defaults to Google and AltaVista, with limited returns. This is an easy-to-use program that comes with a 15-day trial, but if you don't pay careful attention during the install, you'll end up with a large collection of adult-oriented content on your computer.
Publisher's Description
Nici automatically finds, downloads, and organizes free pictures and movies from the Web. View your pictures in a slideshow, with morphing and in full screen, normal or monitor window modes. Organize your pictures by giving them a rating out of 10, or by using picture categories. Track, which pages you have already downloaded and which are fresh links. Stop others from accidentally accessing your pictures with Nici's security and privacy features. Note that Nici does not support Web pages constructed using scripting or Websites that require authentication. Nici uses a proprietary HTTP downloading engine, which can simultaneously download from up to 10 different pages, and does not pollute your system's cache, cookie and history folders. Version 2.1 includes improved slideshows.

Leave No Child Inside
AS A BOY, I PULLED OUT DOZENS�perhaps hundreds�of survey stakes in a vain effort to slow the bulldozers that were taking out my woods to make way for a new subdivision. Had I known then what Ive since learned from a developer, that I should have simply moved the stakes around to be more effective, I would surely have done that too. So you might imagine my dubiousness when, a few weeks after the publication of my 2005 book, Last Child in the Woods, I received an e-mail from Derek Thomas, who introduced himself as vice chairman and chief investment officer of Newland Communities, one of the nation's largest privately owned residential development companies. "I have been reading your new book," he wrote, "and am profoundly disturbed by some of the information you present."

The Naturalization of Playgrounds
Instead of being designed like a well manicured adult environment, naturalized playgrounds are designed from a child's perspective as informal, even wild, and as a place that responds to children's development tasks and their sense of place, time and need to interact with the nature. They are designed to stimulate children's natural curiosity, imagination, wonder and discovery learning as well as nurture children's connectiveness with nature (White & Stoecklin 1998).

Nature and Child Development
These effective encounters with animals, and with nature in general, tend to be so significant that most adults looking back on their childhood cite the natural world as an emotionally critical aspect of their youth. Psychologist Rachel Sebba reports that an extraordinary 96.5 percent of all adults she studied, who represented a wide range of age, gender, and other demographic groups and were raised in both urban and nonurban settings, identified the outdoors as being of critical emotional significance during their childhood. Moreover, the natural settings recalled were typically quite simple and ordinary such as a backyard or nearby park.

Schoolyard Habitat Projects Bring Natural Benefits to School and Students
This brief article by Mary Rivkin is an important reminder of the importance of bringing natural habitats to school grounds as places for natural learning. When the article was written in 1997, there was a burgeoning movement in the U.S. to have schoolyard habitat projects�places of natural and rich learning, integral to the curriculum, and a respite for teachers, students and the community overall. We've literally lost ground in this respect. The concept remains accessible, important, and healthy. This article is a short, succinct summary of the natural benefits afforded from schoolyard habitat projects.(Synthesis)

Last Child on the Couch
Our kids are in truble. Maybe not your kids, but their friends, or perhaps a teenager down the street. Two whole generations-- starting with people entering their thirties now--have grown up with what authors like Richard Louv label "nature-deficit disorder." Despite being America's most environmentally aware segment, many of these young people have few real connections to the outdoors. They are taught to hug a tree, but not how to climb one. Fortunately, the cure isn't a mystery. Our kids need to move. Hike, bike, paddle, skate, walk, run, whatever--just move. And they need to do it outdoors, both for the exercise and the exposure to sunshine and fresh air. Introduce kids to nature at a young age, studies show, and you give them a foundation for lifelong health, fitness, and self-confidence. At a national level, the Outdoor Foundation, the Children & Nature Network, and First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative are training leaders and developing tool kits that help parents and educators make a difference.

Charlotte's Webpage: Why children shouldn't have the world at their fingertips
THOMAS EDISON WAS A GREAT INVENTOR but a lousy prognosticator. When he proclaimed in 1922 that the motion picture would replace textbooks in schools, he began a long string of spectacularly wrong predictions regarding the capacity of various technologies to revolutionize teaching. To date, none of them�from film to television�has lived up to the hype. Even the computer has not been able to show a consistent record of improving education.
"There have been no advances over the past decade that can be confidently attributed to broader access to computers," said Stanford University professor of education Larry Cuban in 2001, summarizing the existing research on educational computing. "The link between test-score improvements and computer availability and use is even more contested." Recent research, including a University of Munich study of 174,000 students in thirty-one countries, indicates that students who frequently use computers perform worse academically than those who use them rarely or not at all.

No Student Left Indoors: Creating a Field Guide to Your Schoolyard
By Jane Kirkland
This is your opportunity to learn and teach about our planet by helping your students to create a field guide to your schoolyard. Whether you're a nature buff or nature-phobe, a literary genius or writing impaired, artistically talented or one who can't draw a straight line with a ruler, and teaching gifted or challenged students in an urban, suburban, or rural school�you'll wonder why you didn't think of this before.
Science Beyond the Classroom
Edited by Linda Froschauer
Taking science education beyond the classroom provides learning opportunities and experiences for students that just aren't available within school walls, and Science Beyond the Classroom has a wealth of ideas on how to do it successfully. These carefully selected articles from the NSTA journals Science Scope and Science and Children were gathered into a compendium because of the value of informal science education in providing access to those experiences and in tapping into student interests. Science Beyond the Classroom provides an overview of information and ideas�many of them include step-by-step, teacher-tested instructions and guidelines�that can be easily modified and adapted by teachers and others�scout leaders, club sponsors, parents, and home schoolers among them�who want to nurture enthusiasm for science.
Childhood and Nature
By David Sobel
Public discussions of global climate change and other threats to the planet are making children more aware of environmental issues. As increasing numbers of kids come to school wishing to take action, educators want to know how to teach in a way that fosters a love of nature and an understanding of the complexity and seriousness of these issues.
In Childhood and Nature, noted educator David Sobel makes the case that meaningful connections with the natural world don't begin in the rainforest or arctic, but in our own backyards and communities. Based on his observations of recurrent play themes around the world, Sobel articulates seven design principles that can guide teachers in structuring learning experiences for children. Place-based education projects that make effective use of the principles are detailed throughout the book. And while engaged in these projects, students learn language arts, math, science, social studies, as well as essential problem-solving and social skills through involvement with nature and their communities.
The pressures of test preparation, standards, and curriculum frameworks often reduce the study of nature and the environment to a set of facts and general concepts. However, as Childhood and Nature demonstrates, linking curriculum with an engagement in the real world not only provides students with the thinking skills needed for whatever test comes their way, but also helps them grow into responsible citizens and stewards of the earth

Darden leaves a bad taste in investors' mouths
The company has struggled since the recent economic slowdown as cash-strapped consumers decided to eat out at cheaper fast-food restaurants or not dine out all.
By Jonathan Berr
Are two Darden Restaurants (DRI) better than one? Activist investor Barrington Capital Group sure thinks so.
The hedge fund is urging the company to create one company with its Olive Garden and Red Lobster casual dining chains and another with its higher growth, fancier establishments such as Capital Grille and Bahama Breeze, according to media reports.
Like other casual dining chains, Darden, which owns 2,100 restaurants in North America, has struggled since the recent economic slowdown as cash-strapped consumers decided to eat out at cheaper fast food restaurants or not dine out all. Darden has tried to win back consumers with gimmicks such as unlimited bread sticks, but these tactics haven't worked as well as Darden hoped -- as evidenced by a recent awful earnings report.
Net income in the latest quarter plunged 37 percent to $70.2 million, or 53 cents per share, missing Wall Street expectations by a whopping 17 cents. Revenue rose 6.1 percent to $2.16 billion, below the $2.2 billion consensus forecast. Even worse, expenses grew at a much faster rate than sales, surging 9.6 percent to $2.07 billion.
The company was hurt by the dismal performance of its two largest chains, Olive Garden and Red Lobster. Sales at Olive Garden, Darden's biggest measured by revenue, fell 4% at locations open at least a year. Red Lobster plummeted 5.2 percent. The higher-end chains, meanwhile, did better, posting a 0.5 percent gain.
The woes of Olive Garden and Red Lobster aren't going to end soon. Darden expects same-restaurant sales in the current fiscal year to be flat at the chains, along with the Longhorn Steakhouse locations.
Darden has announced plans to slash $50 million annually, eliminating 85 jobs and making changes to its supply chain. But Barrington wants faster cost cuts and for the company to unload some of its real estate, according to the Wall Street Journal.
So far Darden and Barrington Capital are playing nice.
A company spokesman is quoted by the newspaper as saying Darden "welcomes input on enhancing shareholder value" and that the board will thoroughly review Barrington's proposal. Barrington, for its part, told the Journal, "We believe that Darden has the potential to deliver significantly higher returns to shareholders."
Whether this diplomacy will last is hard to say.
Many on Wall Street are not as excited about Darden as Barrington. The average 52-week price target on the stock is $50.78, about where it currently trades. Darden does offer an attractive dividend, yielding a fat 4.7 percent yield. But If the company's struggles continue, the shareholder payout may be cut.
The shares are trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of 12.6, below the 17.6 valuation of McDonald's and well below Burger King's 44.3 figure, but this stock may be a value trap. Darden, like McDonald's, has spent so much time convincing consumers that its food is cheap that they have cheapened their brands in the process. It's a perception that won't be easy to change.
The risks of owning Darden seem to outweigh the rewards.

No one want to eat fake italian- That HOSPIALLYCRAPOLLA the 'olive pit' spews out will only lead to the company's demise. And the 'DEAD LOBSTER' ? Well it might be a half step up from the other but it sure won't bring the customers in who want GOOD SEAFOOD ! (R.L> used to be a good, mid level restaurant back in the late 70's, early 80's)
And the staff will sing: FROM THE PASTA WE BURN, TO THE TIPS WE DON'T EARN - OH WE WISH WE NEVER WORKED HERE !
Apparently not only has the restaurant business suffered from the poor economy, so too has the journalism business. MSN, CNN, and FOX are only able to afford "journalists" and "editors" who do not possess grammatical skills beyond that of a high school education and are either unable, unwilling, or inept at the use of spelling and grammar checkers before posting an article.
Just A Thought,
The chain restaurants are just that ....chains. Generally, some are wholly owned by the parent company and the rest by individual franchisees, so consistency can be difficult. The bottom line is that if one wants to dine on some genuine authentically prepared foods, whether it be seafood, Italian, Mexican, Chinese or anything else ....try to patronize one of your better locally owned and operated family restaurants. You may or may not pay just a bit more, but most of them take great pride in the quality of their food and service and really want you to be satisfied to return again. Peace to all ~
Used to love RED LOBSTER! now the ultimate feast is the ulimate RIP-OFF. portions are small and if it wasn't for the biscuits and salad I would leave hungery. Did the all you can eat shrimp deal acouple weeks ago and all I can get is 2 different with my meal. so I eat two and then wait another 20 fricken minutes to get 6 more shrimp. If I stayed and had 2 more portions I would have been at the restaurant for another hour! Go out and f%ch-up a good thing. I would have rather them keep the old portions and raised the price, then to short change me leaving a bad taste. if it's not broken do not fix it!
TGI Friday used to have a fabulous menu made from scratch...and now if is a menu of gargabe!

Love, love, LOVE it!! So great to use on my dogs. Heats instantly and works like a charm.
It appeared to be a good item. I did not use it. It was bigger than I anticipated. I wanted to take in my travel trailer, but I just don't have the necessary space to carry it. So I returned it today.
This is my second time ordering this water heater. The first one lasted over two years but died a cold, frigid and frozen death when the arctic vortex made it's way to the Florida Panhandle. Works great right out of the box, producing as much hot water as you need, for as long as you need it. I'm obviously pleased with it's performance as indicated by my reorder.
I live at 5,900 feet off the grid in the mountain backcountry of Montana. This is a very simple ¿plug and play¿ portable method of ¿on-demand¿ hot water in remote areas. It works great where I live. I use a small Wayne 12 volt PC1 transfer pump with garden hose connectors to feed the water source. The heat and water volume knobs allow you to find the perfect temperature for you or your animals. THIS WORKS GREAT and is very portable! I can store it, pack it, and use it most anywhere.
have a bunch of them. I like them a lot

Beets and beans: Living and Dying with Hospice
"Beets and Beans: Living and Dying with Hospice" attempts to dispel some myths about what it means to work with a Hospice provider. The video interweaves the rich journeys of patients, caregivers, and family members, at different points in their interactions with hospice services, as their lives are touched by hospice. Those narratives show the audience how our participants are changed by time and experience. The story of Hospice is everyone's story.This documentary features a diverse cast, of all ages, interviewed in their homes, or Hospice settings. Moving and credible interviews supported by true-life events show that the hospice movement can revolutionize our views of dying. Both of producer Sue Perlgut's parents were patients of a hospice program. While taping this documentary Sue decided it was time to give back to Hospice and became a volunteer at her local Hospice. Her surprising journey is part of this video. Hospicare and Palliative Care of Tompkins County in Ithaca, NY allowed us access to their Hospice residence and referred us to in-home patients. Providence Hospice of Seattle, Washington referred us to pediatric patients and facilitated interviews with staff. All those taped have been very generous with their time and lives.

International Students
The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System
SEVIS is the United States government's information system for international students and exchange visitors and is monitored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Corcoran College of Art + Design is a SEVIS-authorized school.
Responsibilities of International Students
Applicants will work with the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid to establish their F-1 visa issues during the admissions process. After matriculation, F-1 international students will work with the director of academic advising in order to maintain correct contact and academic information and I-20 forms. All SEVIS records must be kept up to date and it is the responsibility of the students to maintain a valid immigration status for the duration of their stay in the United States.
Federal Requirements
International students and exchange visitors report to the director of student support and retention for initial registration in SEVIS within 30 days of the first day of class.
Any change of information listed on the I-20, such date of graduation, change of major, or other information must be reported to the director of academic advising. Students must make the notification within 10 days of a change of address.
Course Load
Every semester undergraduate students must maintain a minimum of 12 credits per semester and nine credits per semester for graduate students. International students may be eligible to reduce their course load to a minimum of six credits per semester if they have a medical condition, are in their final semester of study, or are encountering academic problems. Students who wish to apply for a reduced course load should notify the director of student support and retention.
International students who do not finish their program by the end date listed on their I-20, must notify the director of academic advising before the end date. They must maintain their status and make acceptable academic progress in order to extend their program.
International students, intending to travel abroad before completing their degree, must have their I-20 forms signed by the director of student support and retention within six months for admittance back into the United States. They are required to keep their passport valid at all times.
Employment is restricted by federal regulations and must be authorized by the Corcoran's Office of Students Affairs. F-1 students may work on-campus with a maximum of 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters and are paid on an hourly basis. Full-time on campus employment is possible during breaks. Off-campus employment is generally prohibited for F-1 visa holders. Social Security numbers will be issued by the Social Security Administration to international students on an F-1 or J-1 visa only if they are authorized for employment and after a job offer has been extended.
The Office of Student Affairs administers F-1 student records, helps students comply with federal regulations, provides assistance to students who are on other types of visas, as well as students who are considering a change of status. Please contact Jon Youngs, director of student support and retention, ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
CPT is authorization for students on an F-1 visa for internships that grant academic credit. Undergraduate students may apply for CPT in their junior year after completing one full-time, academic year in F-1 student status at the Corcoran with a 3.0 GPA. Graduate students may apply for CPT after completing at least one full-time academic year at the Corcoran with a 3.0 GPA. The application for CPT must be processed and approved by the Office of Student Affairs.
Optional Practical Training (OPT)
OPT is employment authorization that allows students on an F-1 visa or status to gain up to 12 months of professional work experience in their field of study. Eligible students may apply for this authorization for employment during their studies at the Corcoran or after the completion of studies. The application for OPT must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Student Affairs before being submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. All students seeking employment must provide original documents verifying their right to work in the United States. For more information please see the "Students and Employment" section of the USCIS website: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis .
Degree Completion
F-1 holders who have completed their program of study may remain in the U.S. for up to 60 days after the program end date listed on the I-20 form. Students may also be eligible to apply for a 12 month OPT that allows them to work after completing their studies. Students must contact the director of student support and retention to obtain authorization before they take a leave of absence or withdraw from the Corcoran. Federal regulations give students 15 days to depart from the U.S. if they have authorization to withdraw from their program. Failure to depart from the U.S. will result in a violation of status. Federal regulations require students to leave the U.S. immediately if they violate their status in any way.

An Academy Salute to Vanessa Redgrave (London)
Hosted by David Hare.
Introduced by Academy Past President Sid Ganis.
With Meryl Streep, Ralph Fiennes, Eileen Atkins and other special guests.
The Academy celebrated the career of six-time Oscar nominee Vanessa Redgrave with our first-ever European tribute to an actor.
This special evening hosted by David Hare explored Redgrave's range and exquisite skill. Hare created three separate extended film sequences, each with its own narrative, showing the depth and array of characters that Redgrave has inhabited. A small group of friends, family and colleagues also gave personal tributes.
A member of the distinguished Redgrave acting family, Vanessa rose to prominence in 1961, playing Rosalind in As You Like It with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Since then, she has made dozens of stage appearances and has appeared in more than 70 films. In addition to the Oscar she received for her supporting performance in "Julia" (1977), and her nominations for "Morgan!" (1966), "Isadora" (1968), "Mary, Queen of Scots" (1971), "The Bostonians" (1984) and "Howards End" (1992), Redgrave's honors include Olivier, Tony®, Emmy®, Screen Actors Guild and Cannes Film Festival awards. She stars in two upcoming films, "Anonymous" and "Coriolanus," and is currently appearing in the West End stage production of Driving Miss Daisy.

Security Group
2014 seminars
If you can't find a talk you are looking for on this page, try the old archives.
18 March 15:00Bitcoin: A Full Employment Act for security engineers? / Joseph Bonneau, Center For Information Technology Policy, Princeton
Lecture Theatre 2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
This talk will provide a brief overview of Bitcoin and discuss why it has been a fascinating new area of security research spanning crypto, security economics, game theory, and anonymity. A few case studies will highlight some of the surprising new applications and research findings, as well as discussing why Bitcoin is far more limited in its current version that is commonly assumed.
Joseph Bonneau is a fellow at the Center For Information Technology Policy, Princeton. He is focused on web security, authentication, and TLS, though his past research has spanned side-channel cryptanalysis, protocol verification, software obfuscation, and privacy in social networks.
He completed his PhD in 2012 with the Security Group of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, supervised by Professor Ross Anderson and funded as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. His PhD thesis formalises the analysis of human-chosen distributions of secrets, specifically passwords and PINs.
His background is in computer science, math, and cryptography, in which he earned his BS and MS from Stanford. He's worked on cryptography and security at Google, Cryptography Research, Inc and as a private consultant.
25 February 15:00Introduction to DNSSEC / Tony Finch, University of Cambridge Computing Service
Lecture Theatre 2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
This talk is a quick introduction to DNSSEC, the Domain Name System Security extensions. DNSSEC is interesting because it does more than just add tamper-proofing to the DNS: it is also a new public-key infrastructure.
The talk will describe the security features that DNSSEC adds (and does not add) to the DNS, and how the DNSSEC PKI can support other protocols such as SSL/TLS and SSH.
To be useful, DNSSEC needs to be widely deployed. The talks will demonstrate that switching on DNSSEC can be straight-forward, and will mention some of the traps and pitfalls that can catch the unwary.
Talk slides and materials are at
Tony Finch is a system administrator and developer in the University of Cambridge Information Services (until recently known as the Computing Service) where he helps to run the mail and DNS systems.

11 February 15:00On the (in)security of widely-used RFID access control systems / Dr. Flavio D. Garcia, University of Birmingham
Lecture Theatre 2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
Over the last few years much attention has been paid to the (in)security
of the cryptographic mechanisms used in RFID and contactless smart
cards. Experience has shown that the secrecy of proprietary ciphers does
not contribute to their cryptographic strength. Most notably the Mifare
Classic, which has widespread application in public transport ticketing
(e.g. Oyster) and access control systems, has been thoroughly broken in
the last few years. Other prominent examples include KeeLoq and Hitag2
used in car keys and CryptoRF used in access control and payment systems.
This talk summarizes our own contribution to this field. We will
briefly show some of the weaknesses we found in the Mifare classic. Then
we will show that the security of its higher-end competitors like
Atmel's CryptoRF and HID's iClass – which were proposed as secure
successors of the Mifare Classic – is not (significantly) higher. We will
also cover security issues of the Hitag2 key fob to conclude with a
discussion on responsible disclosure principles.
Garcia is a faculty member in the Birmingham's Security and Privacy
Group, and is currently employed as a "Birmingham Fellow". His work
focuses on the design and evaluation of cryptographic primitives and
protocols for small embedded devices like RFID and smart cards. His
research achievements include breakthroughs such as the discovery of
vulnerabilities in Mifare Classic, iClass, CryptoMemory and HiTag2. The
first of these, Mifare Classic, was widely used for electronic payment
(e.g. London Underground) and access control (e.g. Amsterdam Airport).
Garcia showed that the cryptography in the card was fatally flawed.
HiTag2, the most widely used key fob used in car keys was also found to
be insecure.
Garcia's work has been widely recognised as world leading including
"Best Paper" awards from the leading IEEE Security & Privacy and Usenix
Woot conferences and the 2008 I/O Award from the Dutch research council
for the best paper bringing computer science research to the attention
of the general public. Garcia joined the security group at the
University of Birmingham in February 2013.
04 February 15:00The effect of decentralized behavioral decision making on system-level risk / Kim Kaivanto, Lancaster University
Lecture Theatre 2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
Certain classes of system-level risk depend partly on decentralized lay decision making. For
instance, an organization's network security risk depends partly on its employees' responses
to phishing attacks. On a larger scale, the risk within a financial system depends partly on
households' responses to mortgage sales pitches. Behavioral economics shows that lay decision
makers typically depart in systematic ways from the normative rationality of Expected Utility
(EU), and instead display heuristics and biases as captured in the more descriptively accurate
Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT). In turn psychological studies show that successful decep-
tion ploys eschew direct logical argumentation and instead employ peripheral-route persuasion,
manipulation of visceral emotions, urgency, and familiar contextual cues. Signal Detection The-
ory (SDT) offers the standard normative solution, formulated as an optimal cutoff threshold,
for distinguishing between good/bad emails or mortgages. In this paper we extend SDT be-
haviorally by re-deriving the optimal cutoff threshold under CPT. Furthermore we incorporate
the psychology of deception into determination of SDT's discriminability parameter. With the
neo-additive probability weighting function, the optimal cutoff threshold under CPT is rendered
unique under well-behaved sampling distributions, tractable in computation, and transparent
in interpretation. The CPT-based cutoff threshold is (i) independent of loss aversion and (ii)
more conservative than the classical SDT cutoff threshold. Independently of any possible mis-
alignment between individual-level and system-level misclassification costs, decentralized behav-
ioral decision makers are biased toward under-detection, and system-level risk is consequently
greater than in analyses assuming normative rationality.
Kim's research issues from a core interest in decision making under risk and uncertainty. He works with both normative and descriptive behavioural mathematical models as well as the associated empirical models, and he designs and implements laboratory experiments for testing normative and behavioural hypotheses. Kim's recent projects have addressed questions in the areas of cyber security and financial decision making. Kim is Director of the recently established Lancaster Experimental Economics Laboratory (LExEL) and a member of the LUMS Research Ethics Committee.
21 January 15:00Eavesdropping near field contactless payments: A quantitative analysis / Thomas P. Diakos, University of Surrey
Lecture Theatre 2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
We present a quantitative assessment in terms of frame error rates for the
success of an eavesdropping attack on a contactless transaction using easily
concealable antennas and low cost electronics. An inductive loop, similar
in size to those found in mobile devices equipped with NFC capabilities,
was used to emulate an ISO 14443 transmission. For eavesdropping we used an
identical loop antenna as well as a modified shopping trolley. Synchronisation
and frame recovery were implemented in software. As a principal result of
our experiments we present the FER achieved over a range of eavesdropping
distances, up to 1m, at different magnetic field strengths within the range
specified by the ISO 14443 standard.
Thomas is a PhD candidate at the University of Surrey, looking into the
security and privacy of near field contactless payments. He is currently
investigating how a combination of remote interrogation and eavesdropping
could be used to extract information from contactless devices that could
potentially cause financial or anonymity loss for the victim. Following his
military service, he studied for a BEng in electrical engineering from the
University of Sheffield and an MSc in communications and signal processing
from the University of Bristol.
14 January 15:00Privacy/Proxy/Perfidy – what criminals (and others) put in domain whois / Dr Richard Clayton, University of Cambridge
Lecture Theatre 2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
I've recently completed a major study of the 'whois' contact details for
domain names used in malicious or harmful Internet activities. ICANN
wanted to know if a significant percentage of these domain registrations
used a privacy or proxy services to obscure the perpetrator's identity ?
No surprises in our results: Yes!
What was perhaps surprising was that quite a significant percentage of
domains used for lawful and harmless activities ALSO used privacy and
proxy services.
But the real distinction is that when domains are maliciously
registered, then contact details are hidden in a range of different ways
so that 9 out 10 of these registrants are a priori uncontactable –
whereas the uncontactable rate varies between a quarter and at most two-
thirds for the non-malicious registrations.
This talk discusses how these results were obtained and what their
implications are for the future of the whois system. It also gives some
technical insight into the innovative design of whois parsing tool that
has enabled some extremely variable reporting formats to be handled, at
substantial scale, in an automated manner.
Richard Clayton came back to Cambridge in 2000 to study for a PhD on
'Anonymity and Traceability in Cyberspace'. Since getting his degree he
has stayed on as an academic PostDoc "because it's more fun than
working". The main focus of his research is on cybercrime, and
particularly on 'phishing'. The ICANN project described in this talk was
done during his recently completed three year collaboration with the
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) on the EPSRC funded project "Internet

It's not like no one has ever asked them before. There's data everywhere and decades of research. We tracked down the best of it so you don't have to.
Jump to a question:
- How much gun violence is there in the U.S.?
- How many guns are there in the U.S.?
- How do mass shootings differ from other types of gun violence?
- What gun control laws currently exist?
- What could be done to reduce gun violence?
- Would fewer guns result in less gun violence?
- Would gun control result in fewer guns?
- How often are guns used in self-defense?
- Won't criminals kill with other weapons if they don't have guns?
- What has worked to reduce gun violence?
- Are the White House proposals likely to be effective?
- How does the U.S. compare to other countries?
- What don't we know yet?
How much gun violence is there in the U.S.?
There were 8,583 homicides by firearms in 2011, out of 12,664 homicides total, according to the FBI. This means that more than two-thirds of homicides involve a firearm. 6,220 of those homicides by firearm (72%) are known to have involved a handgun.
It's worth noting that violent crime rates of all types have been steadily decreasing since the early 1990s. No one is quite sure what is causing this decrease, though there are many theories, ranging from tighter gun control laws to more innovative policing and changes in the drug market. Whatever the cause of this decline, America still has a homicide rate of 4.7 murders per 100,000 people, which is one of the highest of all developed countries (see: international comparison).
Gun violence also affects more than its victims. In areas where it is prevalent, just the threat of violence makes neighborhoods poorer. It's very difficult to quantify the total harm caused by gun violence, but by asking many people how much they would pay to avoid this threat -- a technique called contingent valuation -- researchers have estimated a cost to American society of $100 billion dollars.
Guns are also involved in suicides and accidents. 19,392 of 38,264 suicides in 2010 involved a gun (50%), according to the CDC. There were 606 firearm-related accidents in the same year -- about 5% of the number of intentional gun deaths.
How many guns are there in the U.S.?
There are about 310 million guns in the country. About 40% of households have them, a fraction that has been slowly declining over the last few decades, down from about 50% in the 1960s. Meanwhile, the overall number of guns has increased to about one gun per person, up from one gun for every two persons in the 1960s. This means that gun ownership has gotten much more concentrated among fewer households: if you own one gun, you probably own several. America has the highest rate of gun ownership of any country in the world, by a wide margin (see: international comparison).
(More: A long running poll by Gallup; the wide-ranging General Social Survey; aNew York Times demographic breakdownby Nate Silver)
How do mass shootings differ from other types of gun violence?
The FBI defines a "mass murder" as four or more murders during the same incident. This is an arbitrary number, but a dividing line is useful when asking whether there are differences between mass shootings and other kinds of gun violence. The most comprehensive public list of U.S. mass shootings is the spreadsheet of 62 incidents from 1982-2012, compiled by Mother Jones. Their list shows:
- Mass shootings happen all over the country.
- Killers used a semi-automatic handgun in 75% of incidents, which is about the same percentage as the 72% in overall gun violence.
- Killers used an assault weapon in 40% of incidents. This is much higher than overall assault weapon use in crimes, estimated at less than 2%.
- The guns were obtained legally in 79% of mass shootings.
- Many of the shooters showed signs of mental illness, but in only two cases was there a prior diagnosis.
- There were no cases where an armed civilian fired back.
2012 was the worst year in American history, in terms of total victims. A graph of yearly victims shows a slight upward trend. But the pattern is a lot less clear without the 2012 peak, and because yearly numbers vary so widely, it's likely that there will be many fewer victims next year.
Several criminologists deny that mass shootings are increasing. Although these incidents dominate headlines and conversation, it's important to remember that they account for only a small fraction of gun violence in the United States. For example, the spike of 72 deaths in 2012 includes only 0.8% of all firearm-related homicides in 2011 (the last year for which statistics are available.) Many gun deaths, especially in large cities, never make the news. This means that the most effective gun violence reduction strategies -- in terms of lives saved -- might not target mass shootings at all.
What gun control laws currently exist?
There are two major federal laws that regulate firearm ownership and sales. The National Firearms Act of 1934 restricts civilians from owning automatic weapons, short-barreled shotguns, hand grenades, and other powerful arms. The Gun Control Act of 1968 focuses on commerce. It prohibits mail-order sales of weapons, and requires anyone in the business of selling guns to be federally licensed and keep permanent sales records. It also prohibits knowingly selling a gun to those with prior criminal records, minors, individuals with mental health problems, and a few other categories of people.
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 requires licensed gun dealers to perform background checks. Background checks are not required for private gun sales (though, as mentioned above, it's still a crime to knowingly sell a gun to someone with a criminal record). To ensure privacy, Section 103(i) of the Act prevents the Federal government from keeping the names submitted for background checks, or using this information to create any sort of registry of gun owners.
From 1994 to 2004, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban prohibited the sale and manufacture of semi-automatic weapons (in which each pull of the trigger fires one shot) with various military features such as large-capacity magazines and pistol grips. It was still legal to keep previously owned weapons. The law expired in 2004 due to a built-in "sunset" clause.
These federal laws set minimum standards, but many states have also passed various types of gun laws. These laws determine which weapons are legal to own, and also set requirements on sales, background checks, storage, open and concealed carrying permits, and sentencing of gun-related crimes.
(More: Gun Laws in the US, State by State, The Guardian, and Gun Control Legislation, Congressional Research Service)
What could be done to reduce gun violence?
The firearms debate usually revolves around "gun control" -- that is, laws that would make guns harder to buy, carry, or own. But this is not the only way of reducing gun violence. It is possible to address gun use instead of availability. For example, Project Exile moved all gun possession offenses in Richmond, Virginia, to federal courts instead of state courts, where minimum sentences are longer. Policies like these, which concern gun use, are sometimes said to operate on gun "demand," as opposed to gun control laws, which affect "supply."

I've said many times this season that Nicky has been trying so hard every session, day in day out, to get the best out of the package and I think he really deserves this new contract. He has really been giving it his all this year, and it's great to see the rumours about Crutchlow or someone else coming in to replace him have been quashed by this deal.
It's also fantastic they gave him the extension before his home race, and Nicky is a very popular guy in the States which is a huge motorcycle market. Once again he showed he is really fighting and giving it 100% from the first lap to the last, and it shows in results because he is leading Valentino Rossi in the championship points standings.
That brings us on to Valentino's future, and there have been plenty of rumours and speculation about what will happen with him. None of us really know what is going on or how Valentino is genuinely feeling. We should know in the next week or so what 2013 will hold for him, stay tuned.
Looking at the race, I think it was the hardest so far for Nicky and Valentino because the track is so special and specific.
Nicky's start wasn't the best. When he had that elbow check with Álvaro Bautista off the starting grid they both had to go off the throttle and he lost a position right away to Stefan Bradl. If he had a better start he could have maybe found the speed to stay with the second group from the very beginning. As is Nicky's character he just didn't give up and he did a good job, coming in sixth.
Valentino had a really tough race and his pace was not there, he was even struggling to stay with the second group. And then to cap it all he had a very strange crash at the end of the race where he was braking almost upright going into the 'Corkscrew', and he took quite a heavy fall. It just showed there is still a lot of work to do.
At the last race at Mugello it seemed they had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, that's why I always said be careful because that's where the bike was born and developed and that's where it's done a million laps. Laguna Seca is something completely different and is only 3.6km with barely any straight, it's all about rideability and having confidence in your machine. Valentino was just shaking his head after that crash. Under dry conditions, braking up a hill is not a situation in which you should go down.
Next up is Indianapolis and it will be another hard one because of bike set-up. It seems the Desmosedici works well on typical Grand Prix courses, such as Mugello, and I think they'll have a good one in Brno which comes after Indy as it is a wide track with no bumps, clear lines and it has a great flow, so should suit the GP12 better.
