Proof Sketches: Verifiable In-Network Aggregation
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Recent work on distributed, in-network aggregation assumes a benign population of participants. Unfortunately, modern distributed systems are plagued by malicious participants. In this paper the authors present a first step towards verifiable yet efficient distributed, in-network aggregation in adversarial settings. They describe a general framework and threat model for the problem and then present proof sketches, a compact verification mechanism that combines cryptographic signatures and Flajolet-Martin sketches to guarantee acceptable aggregation error bounds with high probability.

SCDS Awarded Teaching Conservation Grant by the GA Dept. of Natural Resources
Congratulations to Lower School Science teacher Bill Eswine, a recent recipient of a $1,000 conversation grant by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to establish and enhance a campus bog habitat. Below is the
Savannah Morning News
by environmental reporter Mary Landers:
By Mary Landers,
Savannah Morning News
A science teacher at Savannah Country Day School is turning a large drainage ditch on campus into a bog that can use as an outdoor classroom to teach about wetland wildlife.
"Since we already had bullfrogs, leopard frogs and a lot of native plant species in that area, we thought it would be great if we could turn it into a bog – a site that would be an outdoor classroom," said Bill Eswine, a science specialist who has directed a coastal ecology summer camp in the Savannah area since 1982.
Eswine recently received a $1,000 Teaching Conservation grant through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to enhance the bog.
The grant, which has been met with a matching private donation, is provided by The Environmental Resources Network, a friends group of the Nongame Conservation Section of DNR. The section awards the grant annually to a third- through fifth-grade public or private school teacher in Georgia who demonstrates exceptional energy and innovation in teaching life sciences.
Although the ditch may not look like much now, Eswine says the future site will allow his students to observe the diverse wildlife in a bog habitat, as well as study hydrology and the potential effects of pollution, climate change and other threats to natural bogs, a fragile and often-overlooked ecosystem.
"Most people see (the ditch) as an ugly site and would fill it in, but it really is a unique habitat and we wanted to highlight that for our kids," Eswine said. "They're the stewards of the future and we want them to look at things appropriately."

Lower School Hornet Spotlight
Submitted by Mr. Nash, 4th grade teacher and 5/6th football team coach
"After coaching ten seasons of middle school football at SCDS, I thought I had seen everything. I was a part of undefeated championship seasons, several seasons without a victory, several hugs and tears of disappointment. I have witnessed several amazing moments in youth sports, and I agonized over the sudden loss of a great Country Day athlete. Coaching has provided me a gamete of emotions. I thought I reached the pinnacle of my career as a coach. Then the 2014 football season began.
It all started in May of 2014 when a precocious 4
grader came to me and asked questions about middle school football. She asked questions about dates, times, practices, games, uniforms, and plays. That's right, I said SHE. Her name is Abby Nicolson.
Abby is a blonde-haired, 10-year old who is tall for her age and possesses a competitive spirit. She is determined to succeed. As observed during recess, Abby had the skills to play football. However, what separated Abby from the boys she played football with during recess, was her heart and determination.
August 11, 2014 is a first football practice day that will be etched in my head and my heart forever. Fresh off of summer break, 26 excited, young men bounced out of their parents' and hit the practice field roaring like lions. At the same time, I watched as Abby stepped out of the car that brought her to practice. At that moment it dawned on me that she was entering a world that was foreign to her and now to me.
Having a daughter myself, I admit that I had some reservations about having a female on the middle school football team. Would the boys respect her? Would they even tackle her? Most importantly, would they accept her as a teammate? The only way to know was to let time tell. Guess what? Her teammates did all that and more from the first day of practice to our last game.
Abby improved throughout the season more than any player I have ever coached. It all came to fruition when she caught the last ball during the 2014 season. Throughout the season, she displayed great sportsmanship, dedication, and a drive to win. Her teammates admired her. In addition, classmates and other students were awed and inspired by her desire to ignore gender stereotypes to learn the game of football.
Despite a losing season, the 2014 SCDS middle school football team were winners. They learned that inspiration comes in any size, shape, and gender; gained an even deeper respect for each other; and grew as individuals and as a team.
Abby taught me so much this year. She made a better coach, and a better father. She inspired me to work harder and take each day to inspire others. I learned more this season than any other, and I am glad I had the chance to coach Abby Nicholson."

Guinea Fowl
After much anticipation, the Lower School Science Center is now home to several dozen guinea fowl chicks. While the Lower School students eagerly awaited the birth of the chicks in Mr. Eswine's incubator, Middle School students were also interested. Last year, a handful of Middle School mini-mester students traveled to Daufuskie Island where they learned, among other things, about the guinea hen's contribution to insect control. Back in Savannah, residents on Whitmarsh Island learned of the SCDS experiences on Daufuskie and reached out to Mr. Eswine to help rescue a nest full of guinea hen eggs that were in harms way. Whitmarsh Island residents will take several of the chicks back to their original homeland to keep the line of ancestry going and the other chicks will be available for adoption. This is just another example of Country Day's commitment to providing real life experiences for our students while also contributing to the well being of our Savannah community. Click

"Giving Bach"
Orchestra teacher Paula Swart recently unveiled a new program at SCDS that provides opportunities for older student musicians to perform for their peers in concerts that are both educational and interactive. On the morning of Thursday, October 23, Upper School students performed for Mrs. Morgan's second grade class. Rather than a typical performance, the younger students were encouraged to walk through the orchestra as they performed a piece by Tchaikovsky, and were instructed by orchestra members how to hold, pizzicato, and bow their instruments. Mrs. Swart hopes the "Giving Bach" program--originally started in California by orchestra teacher Richard Meyer—will flourish at Country Day.

Chorus Retreats to Tybee
An annual highlight for the Upper School choir is the Fall Retreat where students mix and mingle, making great memories through music. Apart from the usual singing and fun on the beach, there were moments that demonstrated the character of the group, including when the entire group rallied to encourage and support the students who tried out for solos (almost everyone!) and during Saturday night's talent show where the wide range of instrumental and vocal talents, enthusiasm, and camaraderie were on full display. The weekend also included the election of Choral Council officers: Regan Bowers, president, Gabby Lauretti, vice president, Maya Hardrick, secretary, and Becky Buelvas, publicity.
A huge thank you to Val Bowers for working out all of the logistics, the Templeton family for graciously lending their beach house for the weekend, Deborah Glenn for catching some fantastic moments on film, and to all of the parents that provided meals and snacks for the retreat.

(Barely) Float Your Boat
Adam Weber's most recent challenge to his Physics students was especially daunting: construct a boat for a brick that would float
as low as possible
in a water tank. Applying the principles of buoyancy and flotation, students crafted their boats using only a 30 cm x 40 cm piece of foam board and tape. The winning team earned bragging rights and, more importantly, was exempt from the lab write-up. In addition, a "gentleman's agreement" between two students (based on final lab scores) resulted in the losing student dying his brown hair to blonde.

Cyanotype Club
Thanks to photography teacher Sarah Horan and a handful of student-artists, a new Upper School club offering has emerged… Cyanotypes are an alternative approach to traditional photography where instead of working in the darkroom to expose your images, you rely on natural light. The club will meet every Thursday during lunch in the Johnson Building. From Ping Pong for Africa to the Philosophy Club, the Country Day tradition of creative club offerings reflects the School's commitment to support student passion and interest.
Pitching for Physics
How fast can you throw a baseball? On Friday, October 17, the 9th grade Physics students spent time throwing baseballs on Saunders Field. While it looked like fun and games, the students were actually using their knowledge of vectors and two-dimensional motion to determine the speed of the baseballs as they left their hands. The fantastic fall weather was a bonus.
Balloon Car Contest
In an effort to demonstrate Newton's Laws of Motion, Upper School Science students were asked to build a modern car powered only by an air-filled balloon. The student's mission was to build the fastest car possible and propel the car 3 meters without any assistance by a person. As the balloons deflated, the cars inched their way across the finish line, or in some cases, finished short. Either way, the students loved the friendly competition!
Day of Dialogue
Last spring, the inaugural "Day of Dialogue" kicked off in Jelks Auditorium with speakers representing both the students and faculty, each of whom responded to the prompt, "What does culture mean to you?" The range of voices--and their words--was phenomenal, and the program was a resounding success thanks to Upper School students' engagement with and reflection upon the chosen prompt, a fact reinforced by more than a quarter of the Upper School student body attending the follow-up lunch panel discussion.
On September 18, the SCDS Upper School hosted a
"Day of Dialogue" based on the prompt "What does culture mean to Country Day?" Once again, students addressed fellow students and spoke from the heart. (Click
to read the speeches). Each "Day of Dialogue" provides an opportunity to think as an entire community about the importance of developing and sustaining a healthy, inclusive school culture.
Given the successes of these past two Days of Dialogue, community members across all divisions are encouraged to attend the spring Day of Dialogue, which will build upon these past two prompts by asking participants to consider
how empathy can be achieved within the Savannah Country Day School culture
. Details for the spring 2015 Country Day of Dialogue will be announced.

The October issue features the article, "The Contributions of Arabs in the Western World." Stay tuned as the class continues to write and contribute articles about latin american history and issues.
Art Students Create Linear Perspective Drawings Around Campus
Ms. Mulzer's class has been studying linear perspective and architecture landscape. Last week they set out to apply their new drawing techniques using Country Day's outdoor campus as their model. Students sketched and painted buildings and walkways creating the illusion of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, a concept that was formalized in the 15
Physics Students Take Study of Vectors Outside
A light sprinkle did not deter Mr. Weber's Physics students from taking their lesson about Vectors outside last week. Students were challenged with hiding and mapping treasures throughout campus. Not the typical treasure map though, these students had to decide the exact magnitude and direction of each displacement vector using a tape measure and protractor. After completing their own map, groups switched and had fun following the vectors of another group, while mapping their route to find the treasures.
Anatomy Students Mix Art and Science
Mr. Hooker's Upper School Anatomy students have been studying muscles by combining their science skills with art. The students are building the muscles onto model skeletons as a means to better understand the complementary nature of anatomical structure and function and how bones and muscles work together to provide movement. Learning the major skeletal muscles in both a visual and kinesthetic method will enhance comprehension of muscle location, size, shape, attachments, fiber direction, and muscle action. As students build together, they learn together.
Water Balloon Target Practice
Congratulations to Logan Miller, Daley Cass, Jack Barnes and Will Rittmeyer, the newest members of a revered group of Physics students. In 23 years of the "Water Balloon Target Practice" assignment, only six student groups have successfully hit their target: Upper School teacher Adam Weber. Click

Freshman Weekend
An annual tradition for rising ninth graders, Freshman Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with classmates and meet new friends. The three-day trip to North Carolina included a rafting excursion down the Nantahala, cardboard boat races and other team-building activities. Seniors joined the in fun as well, getting to know the underclassmen and sharing their own Upper School experiences. By the time the weekend was over, the ninth grade class was fired up for the year ahead!
Honor Code Jeopardy
Coming up with engaging ways to review the policies of the honor code and student handbook can be tricky… That is why this year's Discipline Committee and Honor Council decided to engage fellow students in an interactive game of Jeopardy. Contestants reviewed mock scenarios while audience members cheered and applauded. The morning assembly was a creative and engaging way for our student leaders to reinforce the School's commitment to the honor code. Click

Physics Class Tests Age-Old Theory
Mr. Weber's College Physics class headed outside to see if they could answer the question, "Which is faster in the first 3 meters of a race, a human, bike or car?" Using motion sensors and graphical analysis, students tested a human, a bike and a car to see which one has the greatest acceleration. If you look back in history, at the beginning of the advent of the steam engine, many people wondered if it was necessary to create all that noise. The horse was just as fast and was much less expensive to operate. Throughout that period, there were a number of races between a horse and a steam engine with the horse winning many of them, but not all. Mr. Weber's lab replicated those races and explored under what conditions each of these methods of movement (running, biking or driving), would "win a race."
Picnic in the Quad
On Friday, August 22, the junior and senior classes enjoyed a special picnic lunch in the Quad. The catered lunch was a great way to reconnect at the start of the school year and revel in the status as "upperclassmen."
Skyping with Scientists
On the morning of September 8, Marsha Lucas' AP Environmental Science class skyped with scientists aboard the research vessel Nautilus in the British Virgin Islands. The vessel is currently surveying the ocean floor and processing samples gathered from a recent dive. The video conference session provided an opportunity for the students to not only interact with the team, but also observe the live happenings on the boat. Senior Hakon Jones will travel aboard the same research vessel in the coming weeks.
Upper School Lounge
Ask Upper School students about a popular campus renovation and they will most likely tell you about the upgrades to the Charles Gay library. Summer work included additional small-group works spaces, upgraded computer labs, and most importantly, the newly installed Student Lounge.
Upper School Welcomes Author and Holocaust Survivor Leon Malmed
On the morning of Wednesday, August 27, the Upper School was honored to host author Leon Malmed for a lecture and Q&A session. Mr. Malmed's book,
We Survived…. At Last I Speak
tells the true story of his and his sister's escape from the Holocaust in Occupied France. After over 60 years of silence, Mr. Malmed penned the book as a tribute to Henri and Suzanne Ribouleau, the neighbors who provided a protected and loving home for the children after their parents were arrested and taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Mr. Malmed's first-hand account serves as a powerful reminder, sparking meaningful questions and classroom discussions. For more information on Leon Malmed, grandfather of Jake Lee '16, visit

SALSA Students Lead Program at Hancock Day School
Some of our SALSA members (Students Advocating Living without Substance Abuse) recently led a program for Hancock Middle School students. They shared their own personal reasons for choosing to abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and talked about people who have been positive role models. They then helped the Hancock students identify positive role models in their lives.

Members of the TREE squad (The Real Environmental Enthusiasts) volunteered on Saturday at Coastal Georgia Botanical Garden and Historic Bamboo Farm to help set up for their Holiday Light fundraiser.
Emmaus House Soup Kitchen Fundraiser
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the
Emmaus House Soup Kitchen. The annual Empty Bowl event helps to raise funds that will allow Emmaus House to continue to serve homeless and hungry people in our community. SCDS ceramics students joined other local potters to contribute handmade bowls for the lunch event. SCDS had over 40 students, families and teachers support the event, helping Emmaus House raise $15,000 towards their efforts.
Seventh Grade Spends Time at Wesley Community Centers
As part of their commitment to serving our larger community, seventh graders have spent the last several weeks leaving campus to visit and spend time with young children at Wesley's Early Childhood Education and Development Center. The SCDS students read books to the younger children and helped the teachers with general tasks. The cooler weather provided great opportunities to entertain and work with the younger children outside.
After these initial visits in the fall, the seventh graders will plan projects to take back with them in the spring. Student idea includes handmade coloring books, a book donation drive or perhaps even handmade puppets and a show for the younger kids. The Country Day students also want to visit with our very own Little School to get more ideas about early childhood development and appropriate educational projects.

8 Things Men Learn in the First Month of Marriage
5. She does not have an "on/off" switch like I do.
"What's the matter?" I once asked my wife after attempting to turn her on by brusquely tapping various parts of her body like the cockpit controls of an airplane. "I need to be wooed," she explained. This is going to sound strange, but hear me out: When you're married to your best friend, it's easy to forget that she is a woman and her body works differently than yours. I don't mean I literally forget she's a woman, or that I see her asexually in any way. My wife is hot. But when it seems like she's the only person who gets why I made that dumb joke and thinks it's just as funny as I do, I forget that we are not made of the same material. And her material needs foreplay.
ON COSMOPOLITAN: 15 Signs He's a Keeper
6. Talk about EVERYTHING. ALWAYS.
You know what's a gross word? Fester. Don't let anything in your relationship fester. Tiny things you deemed unworthy of a conversation at one time will burst out at the least opportune time (e.g. while boarding a 14-hour flight to South Africa). If my wife had a marriage mantra, it'd probably be, "Tell me what you're feeling," whereas mine would be, "Nothing a little make-up-sex can't fix!" (Hers is more productive.
ON COSMOPOLITAN: 11 Best Things About Being Married
7. When you're feeling selfish, zoom out.
Since moving in with my wife, I have been dethroned as King Ethan: Lord of the Apartment, who once possessed unlimited rights to watch back-to-back episodes of That Metal Show. Compromises—like watching Game of Thrones on the couch together—are just as necessary in the home as they are in the outside world. My wife even has phrase of advice for when she thinks I'm focusing too much on narcissistic minutiae: "Zoom out." And sometimes she'll accompany said phrase with head massages and omelets, thus inadvertently exemplifying how to selflessly care for another person. Maybe that skill will come in handy when we bring kids into the world someday … (Someday.)
ON COSMOPOLITAN: 18 Ways He Secretly Says 'I Love You'
8. Fandom is not love.
I think I technically learned this in sixth grade, but my wife showed me that it's not just a prepubescent theory. You do not have to be the number one fan of your husband's (or wife's) hobbies and interests to be a loving and supportive partner. My wife can be very honest with me about the improvisational hardcore band I play with from time to time. I know she's not into it. That's fine. Marriage is going to last the rest of our lives, during which, I'm positive, I will pick up other weird hobbies that will take up my Thursday nights. Can you imagine the pressure I'd put on her if she had to be at every show for me to feel loved? I'd rather she focus on being my loving wife and my supportive lover. Number one fan is not a title she needs to worry about.

Did Christina Aguilera Attack Julianne Hough?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Did Christina Aguilrea get down and dirrty with Julianna Hough at a party over the weekend?
Insiders tell E! News that Aguilera confronted her Burlesque co-star at a pre-Golden Globes shindig at the Soho House in Hollywood on Friday night.
"Christina really got in her face," a witness claims, detailing how Aguilera unleashed a verbal assault on Hough and tried to grab her.
The day after an alleged confrontation between these two, Christina Aguilera and Julianne Hough sizzled on the red carpet.
Sources on the set of their movie say Aguilera and Hough never got along, although it's unclear why the former allegedly threatened the country singing career of the latter in this incident.
"The whole thing was troubling. People felt bad for Julianne," said an onlooker.
Aguilera's rep, of course, refers to this report as "nonsense." No word yet from anyone in Hough's camp.
Am sure she'll loose the weight soon, she must hate how she looks. I've heard she only employs hot assistants, she really needed to come back down to earth and that's what's happnin now. Her album, movie flopping and the divorce and custody thing, its all going to help her realize she's not super woman. She'll bounce back after a while, everyone goes through this phase at a point in ones life. It helps you realise stuff u were doing wrong and who ur true friends are. If britney did it, anyone can.
you maybe right sara but get ready for Blaize and others who will defender her for some odd reason
she will end up like britney im telling yall i never liked xtina
I believe it who really gets along with skantina ?really she doesn't even let people look at her if she did that to me I would beat her 5'0 behind she thinks she's all that Snookie I mean floptina needs to be nicer to people.
This makes me laugh. It doesn't sound true @ all.
If there were so many witnesses then how is it we don't know what they were "bickering" about. It's all lies, media just likes to create negative situations around women. That's just the fd up world we live in.
ok its not jamie its julieanna
@sia: A 'slut' is somebody who sleeps around. At 30 years old, Christina Aguilera has only had 4 boyfriends in her life. There are teenagers who have been with more guys than her- both Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift have been with just as many guys and they're younger than her. So nobody can ACCURATLEY call Christina Aguilera a whore. She's a woman who has embraced her sexuality. That's not wrong. don't believe everything you read, folks!
@sara and jamie: The only reason why people think Christina Aguilera is fat now is because they're used to her being skinny. If she were the average woman on the streets you wouldn't think she was fat. In this picture Christina does look prettier than Julianne. Julianne looks like a scrawny middle-aged woman here. Skinnier isn't always better. No wonder why there are so many anorexic and bulimic girls both inside and outside of Hollywood.

The ocean waters are great year round for surfing, boogie boarding, SUPing, or just plain hanging out at the beach.

From a legal perspective it may make little difference whether you split your finances. Anything earned or generated during the marriage is going to be considered marital property regardless of how it is titled. As to child support and alimony it may be worth a consultation with an attorney to go over your particular facts and circumstances to ensure you aren't agreeing to something that may harm you in the future. It would appear to me that you should seek counseling and get advice from the...

Minimum wage can almost always be imputed so long as that person has the ability to work. Vocational evaluations can be expensive and there has to be some kind of cost/benefit analysis before you should consider retaining such an expert. There are other avenues to prove that someone is voluntarily unemployed as well. Did this person quit their job or cause themselves to be fired unnecessarily? If they are voluntarily underemployed, what were they making at that previous job history?...

Before you get too upset, remember that the Petition typically draws the largest box possible in regards to the possible relief either party could hope to receive. In many cases lawyers will draft petitions with things that they likely won't get but need to keep certain things at issue. It may well be the case that she does not expect many of the things she is asking for. That being said you should consult an attorney to review the specifics of her petition and related paperwork.

The reason why you need to discuss this with an attorney is because there are several ways to get the courts attention (injunction, emergency family law motion, dependency). Those options have varying goals and consequences.

I agree with the previous responses that you have potentially two (2) options in either seeking an ejectment of your former husband from your house or to proceed with enforcement through the family law court. It may be less time consuming to proceed through the family law court and enforce your order. I would contact an attorney to decide which method is in your best interest.

Any attorney is going to want to see your paystub and potentially verify the information with your employer, however, it would appear that this would be a business expense that is reimbursed by your employer. The other side could argue that this reduces your personal expenses and should be considered income. The question becomes one of whether you would have a lesser option of cellphone and internet coverage that you would rather purchase. If you would likely choose a less expensive option,...

I agree with what has been posted. However, I did want to add that in the event the allegations are proven to be completely false, the Court could refer the matter to State Attorney's Office. I will caution that it is rare that this occurs. The problem is that many injunction hearings become one person's word against another, or it's differing accounts of the same facts and circumstances. The need for an attorney is important because if the Court believes there are some real issues between...

The simple answer is that it appears that you would have a basis for a modification. The legal issue that you present is one of modification of alimony based on cohabitation. If your Wife is in a relationship where she is cohabitating with a boyfriend and it appears to be a supportive relationship, you would have a basis to reduce your alimony obligation. The statute and case law on the modification of alimony under these circumstances do not suggest that it will be an automatic cancellation...

Unless you have already been determined to be an emancipated minor, you would need your parent's consent. It's unlikely that you have been through this process and getting yourself declared emancipated may be too long of a process given that you are already 17. Moreover, the necessary facts and circumstances to become emancipated may be very hard to establish.
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
You may have already taken the steps to file for the injunction; however, the sooner you can get to see an attorney the better. It's important to have "all" of the relevant facts in your Petition prior to your return hearing.
