[ 002 ] Dearest ladies, as well from what I heard in converse with the wise, as from matters that not seldom fell within my own observation and reading, I formed the opinion that the vehement and scorching blast of envy was apt to vent itself only upon lofty towers or the highest tree-tops: but therein I find that I misjudged; [ 003 ] for, whereas I ever sought and studied how best to elude the buffetings of that furious hurricane, and to that end kept a course not merely on the plain, but, by preference, in the depth of the valley; as should be abundantly clear to whoso looks at these little stories, written as they are not only in the vulgar Florentine, and in prose, and without dedicatory flourish, but also in as homely and simple a style as may be; [ 004 ] nevertheless all this has not stood me in such stead but that I have been shrewdly shaken, nay, all but uprooted by the blast, and altogether lacerated by the bite of this same envy. Whereby I may very well understand that 'tis true, what the sages aver, that only misery is exempt from envy in the present life. [ 005 ] Know then, discreet my ladies, that some there are, who, reading these little stories, have alleged that I am too fond of you, and that 'tis not a seemly thing that I should take so much pleasure in ministering to your gratification and solace; and some have found more fault with me for praising you as I do. [ 006 ] Others, affecting to deliver a more considered judgment, have said that it ill befits my time of life to ensue such matters, to wit, the discoursing of women, or endeavouring to pleasure them. And not a few, feigning a mighty tender regard to my fame, aver that I should do more wisely to keep ever with the Muses on Parnassus, than to forgather with you in such vain dalliance. [ 007 ] Those again there are, who, evincing less wisdom than despite, have told me that I should shew sounder sense if I bethought me how to get my daily bread, than, going after these idle toys, to nourish myself upon the wind; while certain others, in disparagement of my work, strive might and main to make it appear that the matters which I relate fell out otherwise than as I set them forth. [ 008 ] Such then, noble ladies, are the blasts, such the sharp and cruel fangs, by which, while I champion your cause, I am assailed, harassed and well-nigh pierced through and through. [ 009 ] Which censures I hear and mark, God knows, with equal mind: and, though to you belongs all my defence, yet I mean not to be niggard of my own powers, but rather, without dealing out to them the castigation they deserve, to give them such slight answer as may secure my ears some respite of their clamour; and that without delay; [ 010 ] seeing that, if already, though I have not completed the third part of my work, they are not a few and very presumptuous, I deem it possible, that before I have reached the end, should they receive no check, they may have grown so numerous, that 'twould scarce tax their powers to sink me; and that your forces, great though they be, would not suffice to withstand them. [ 011 ] However I am minded to answer none of them, until I have related in my behoof, not indeed an entire story, for I would not seem to foist my stories in among those of so honourable a company as that with which I have made you acquainted, but a part of one, that its very incompleteness may shew that it is not one of them: wherefore, addressing my assailants, I say: [ 012 ] That in our city there was in old time a citizen named Filippo Balducci, a man of quite low origin, but of good substance and well versed and expert in matters belonging to his condition, who had a wife that he most dearly loved, as did she him, so that their life passed in peace and concord, nor there was aught they studied so much as how to please each other perfectly. [ 013 ] Now it came to pass, as it does to every one, that the good lady departed this life, leaving Filippo nought of hers but an only son, that she had had by him, and who was then about two years old. [ 014 ] His wife's death left Filippo as disconsolate as ever was any man for the loss of a loved one: and sorely missing the companionship that was most dear to him, he resolved to have done with the world, and devote himself and his little son to the service of God. [ 015 ] Wherefore, having dedicated all his goods to charitable uses, he forthwith betook him to the summit of Monte Asinaio, where he installed himself with his son in a little cell, and living on alms, passed his days in fasting and prayer, being careful above all things to say nothing to the boy of any temporal matters, nor to let him see aught of the kind, lest they should distract his mind from his religious exercises, but discoursing with him continually of the glory of the life eternal and of God and the saints, and teaching him nought else but holy orisons: in which way of life he kept him not a few years, never suffering him to quit the cell or see aught but himself. [ 016 ] From time to time the worthy man would go Florence, where divers of the faithful would afford him relief according to his needs, and so he would return to his cell. [ 017 ] And thus it fell out that one day Filippo, now an aged man, being asked by the boy, who was about eighteen years old, whither he went, told him. Whereupon: " Father, " said the boy, " you are now old, and scarce able to support fatigue; why take you me not with you for once to Florence, and give me to know devout friends of God and you, so that I, who am young and fitter for such exertion than you, may thereafter go to Florence for our supplies at your pleasure, and you remain here? "
[ 018 ] The worthy man, bethinking him that his son was now grown up, and so habituated to the service of God as hardly to be seduced by the things of the world, said to himself: " He says tell. " And so, as he must needs go to Florence, he took the boy with him. [ 019 ] Where, seeing the palaces, the houses, the churches, and all matters else with which the city abounds, and of which he had no more recollection than if he had never seen them, the boy found all passing strange, and questioned his father of not a few of them, what they were and how they were named; [ 020 ] his curiosity being no sooner satisfied in one particular than he plied his father with a further question. And so it befell that, while son and father were thus occupied in asking and answering questions, they encountered a bevy of damsels, fair and richly arrayed, being on their return from a wedding; whom the young man no sooner saw, than he asked his father what they might be. [ 021 ] " My son, " answered the father, " fix thy gaze on the ground, regard them not at all, for naughty things are they. " [ 022 ] " Oh! " said the son, " and what is their name? " [ 023 ] The father, fearing to awaken some mischievous craving of concupiscence in the young man, would not denote them truly, to wit, as women, but said: " They are called goslings. " [ 024 ] Whereupon, wonderful to tell! the lad who had never before set eyes on any woman, thought no more of the palaces, the oxen, the horses, the asses, the money, or aught else that he had seen, but exclaimed: " Prithee, father, let me have one of those goslings. " [ 025 ] " Alas, my son, " replied the father, " speak not of them; they are naughty things. " [ 026 ] " Oh! " questioned the son; " but are naughty things made like that? " [ 027 ] " Ay, " returned the father. [ 028 ] Whereupon the son: " I know not, " he said, " what you say, nor why they should be naughty things: for my part I have as yet seen nought that seemed to me so fair and delectable. They are fairer than the painted angels that you have so often shewn me. Oh! if you love me, do but let us take one of these goslings up there, and I will see that she have whereon to bill. " [ 029 ] " Nay, " said the father, " that will not I. Thou knowest not whereon they bill; " and straightway, being ware that nature was more potent than his art, he repented him that he had brought the boy to Florence.
[ 030 ] But enough of this story: 'tis time for me to cut it short, and return to those, for whose instruction 'tis told. They say then, some of these my censors, that I am too fond of you, young ladies, and am at too great pains to pleasure you. Now that I am fond of you, and am at pains to pleasure you, [ 031 ] I do most frankly and fully confess; and I ask them whether, considering only all that it means to have had, and to have continually, before one's eyes your debonair demeanour, your bewitching beauty and exquisite grace, and therewithal your modest womanliness, not to speak of having known the amorous kisses, the caressing embraces, the voluptuous comminglings, whereof our intercourse with you, ladies most sweet, not seldom is productive, they do verily marvel that I am fond of you, seeing that one who was nurtured, reared, and brought up on a savage and solitary mountain, within the narrow circuit of a cell, without other companion than his father, had no sooner seen you than 'twas you alone that he desired, that he demanded, that he sought with ardour? [ 032 ] Will they tear, will they lacerate me with their censures, if I, whose body Heaven fashioned all apt for love, whose soul from very boyhood was dedicate to you, am not insensible to the power of the light of your eyes, to the sweetness of your honeyed words, to the flame that is kindled by your gentle sighs, but am fond of you and sedulous to pleasure you; you, again I bid them remember, in whom a hermit, a rude, witless lad, liker to an animal than to a human being, found more to delight him than in aught else that he saw? Of a truth whoso taxes me thus must be one that, feeling, knowing nought of the pleasure and power of natural affection, loves you not, nor craves your love; and such an one I hold in light esteem. [ 033 ] And as for those that go about to find ground of exception in my age, they do but shew that they ill understand that the leek, albeit its head is white, has a green tail. But jesting apart, thus I answer them, that never to the end of my life shall I deem it shameful to me to pleasure those to whom Guido Cavalcanti and Dante Alighieri in their old age, and Messer Cino da Pistoia in extreme old age, accounted it an honour and found it a delight to minister gratification. [ 034 ] And but that 'twere a deviation from the use and wont of discourse, I would call history to my aid, and shew it to abound with stories of noble men of old time, who in their ripest age studied above all things else to pleasure the ladies; whereof if they be ignorant, go they and get them to school. [ 035 ] To keep with the Muses on Parnassus is counsel I approve; but tarry with them always we cannot, nor they with us, nor is a man blameworthy, if, when he happen to part from them, he find his delight in those that resemble them. The Muses are ladies, and albeit ladies are not the peers of the Muses, yet they have their outward semblance; for which cause, if for no other, 'tis reasonable that I should be fond of them. Besides which, ladies have been to me the occasion of composing some thousand verses, but of never a verse that I made were the Muses the occasion. [ 036 ] Howbeit 'twas with their aid, 'twas under their influence that I composed those thousand verses, and perchance they have sometimes visited me to encourage me in my present task, humble indeed though it be, doing honour and paying, as it were, tribute, to the likeness which the ladies have to them; wherefore, while I weave these stories, I stray not so far from Mount Parnassus and the Muses as not a few perchance suppose. [ 037 ] But what shall we say to those, in whom my hunger excites such commiseration that they bid me get me bread? Verily I know not, save this: Suppose that in my need I were to beg bread of them, what would be their answer? I doubt not they would say: " Go seek it among the fables. " [ 038 ] And in sooth the poets have found more bread among their fables than many rich men among their treasures. And many that have gone after fables have crowned their days with splendour, while, on the other hand, not a few, in the endeavour to get them more bread than they needed, have perished miserably. But why waste more words on them? Let them send me packing, when I ask bread of them; not that, thank God, I have yet need of it, and should I ever come to be in need of it, I know, like the Apostle, how to abound and to be in want, and so am minded to be beholden to none but myself. [ 039 ] As for those who say that these matters fell out otherwise than as I relate them, I should account it no small favour, if they would produce the originals, and should what I write not accord with them, I would acknowledge the justice of their censure, and study to amend my ways; but, until better evidence is forthcoming than their words, I shall adhere to my own opinion without seeking to deprive them of theirs, and give them tit for tat. [ 040 ] And being minded that for this while this answer suffice, I say that with God and you, in whom I trust, most gentle ladies, to aid and protect me, and patience for my stay, I shall go forward with my work, turning my back on this tempest, however it may rage; for I see not that I can fare worse than the fine dust, which the blast of the whirlwind either leaves where it lies, or bears aloft, not seldom over the heads of men, over the crowns of kings, of emperors, and sometimes suffers to settle on the roofs of lofty palaces, and the summits of the tallest towers, whence if it fall, it cannot sink lower than the level from which it was raised. [ 041 ] And if I ever devoted myself and all my powers to minister in any wise to your gratification, I am now minded more than ever so to do, because I know that there is nought that any can justly say in regard thereof, but that I, and others who love you, follow the promptings of nature, whose laws whoso would withstand, has need of powers pre-eminent, and, even so, will oft-times labour not merely in vain but to his own most grievous disadvantage. [ 042 ] Such powers I own that I neither have, nor, to such end, desire to have; and had I them, I would rather leave them to another than use them myself. Wherefore let my detractors hold their peace, and if they cannot get heat, why, let them shiver their life away; and, while they remain addicted to their delights, or rather corrupt tastes, let them leave me to follow my own bent during the brief life that is accorded us. [ 043 ] But this has been a long digression, fair ladies, and 'tis time to retrace our steps to the point where we deviated, and continue in the course on which we started.
[ 044 ] The sun had chased every star from the sky, and lifted the dank murk of night from the earth, when, Filostrato being risen, and having roused all his company, they hied them to the fair garden, and there fell to disporting themselves: the time for breakfast being come, they took it where they had supped on the preceding evening, [ 045 ] and after they had slept they rose, when the sun was in his zenith, and seated themselves in their wonted manner by the beautiful fountain; where Fiammetta, being bidden by Filostrato to lead off the story-telling, awaited no second command, but debonairly thus began.

It's Day Two of talks in Geneva between Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who are seeing if they can come to an agreement on Russia's suggestion that Syria hand over its chemical weapons to international monitors — and thus avert a possible strike by the U.S. military.
As the diplomats negotiate, NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman has been following up on Thursday's claim by the commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army that his forces have not yet received any "lethal aid" — in the form of weapons — from the U.S.
On Morning Edition, Tom said U.S. sources with knowledge of what's happening say that "the weapons are starting to move into Syria" thanks to a "covert CIA program." Some "moderate" rebel groups are being supplied with small arms, Tom is being told.
It may be, he added, that Free Syrian Army Gen. Salim Idris just isn't aware yet of what's happening because communications are bad inside Syria and because he's in the north of the country while the weapons are reportedly arriving in the south.
Among the morning's other stories:
-- Moving Stockpiles. "A secretive Syrian military unit at the center of the Assad regime's chemical weapons program has been moving stocks of poison gases and munitions to as many as 50 sites to make them harder for the U.S. to track, according to American and Middle Eastern officials." (The Wall Street Journal)
-- Executions. "Syrian government and pro-government forces executed at least 248 people in the towns of al-Bayda and Baniyas on May 2 and 3, 2013, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. It was one of the deadliest instances of mass summary executions since the start of the conflict in Syria."
-- Progress In Talks. "Kerry and Lavrov have been making more optimistic noises after meeting the international envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi. They told a press conference they were hopeful that talks on Syria's chemical weapons would help revive an international plan for a "Geneva 2" conference to end the war in Syria." (The Guardian)
-- U.N. Resolution Not Expected To Include Military Option: According to Reuters, which quotes unnamed Obama officials, the U.S. doesn't expect a U.N. Security Council resolution on Syria to threaten the use of military force, if chemical disarmament fails.
The U.S., said the officials, will insist on a "range of consequences," including "increased sanctions."

Isacord 0442 Tarnished Gold Embroidery Thread 5000M
Twice the strength of Rayon Thread
Isacord embroidery thread is the thread of choice for maximum productivity.
Isacord Thread is the smoothest running and most reliable thread produced. It has been engineered from the finest raw materials to provide just the right amount of elasticity to allow for high speed running without looping or puckering while virtually eliminating thread breaks.
Isacord is an embroidery thread made from trilobal polyester continuous filament. Continuous filaments made of trilobal polyester are a classic construction type for embroidery threads. The trilobal filament shape enlarges the light-reflecting material surface and ensures that the finished embroidery design has the desired gloss.
Isacord is the universal machine embroidery thread for all brilliant and fashionable embroidery. The embroidery yarn is great in colour and great in function and features excellent colour fastness. Moreover, AMANN's machine embroidery thread is abrasion-resistant, robust and shows perfect embroidery properties.
Hohenstein Laboratories confirm the industrial wash resistance of Isacord. Consequently, Isacord is certified with the PRO-care certification according to DIN EN ISO 30023. Besides, Isacord is certified according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, 93.0.4233.
Isacord is the classic industrial embroidery thread on workwear and corporate wear. Based on its extreme durability, it is also perfectly suited for jeans and automotive.
General Isacord Thread Facts
- Is colorfast to detergent, chlorine bleach, and light.
- Has twice the strength of rayon thread.
- Has superior abrasion resistance both when dry and when wet, which keeps embroidery looking new.
- Is engineered from the finest raw materials. It has just the right amount of elasticity to embroider without looping or puckering while virtually eliminating thread breaks.
- Colors are created using tiny increments of dye that are verified by a computer to assure consistent, exact colors, eliminating the need for dye lots.
- Is never over-dyed. Over-dying means that a manufacturer will dye their "missed" colors to black, which weakens the thread.
- Has more twists than other brands; it unreels smoothly and does not loop.
- Has a special finishing process that improves performance and prevents shredding, even on challenging fabrics.
- Is specially certified and approved for embroidery by the apparel industry.
Feel free to live chat with us if you have any questions.

Five of Coins
Consider carefully what consequences may result from joining forces.
This suit, most often named "Coins" or "Pentacles", is a symbol for a magical talisman that represented wealth or potential. This suit represents something supportive that is available to you -- whether it be health, some kind of talent, a material or financial resource.
The Five of this suit is the card of desire and gratification, expressed in classical tradition as flattery and false promises. This card represents both the seducer and the one seduced. There is undeniable excitement in the attraction of opposites; we have all had delightful moments of magnetism with a stranger. However, if promises are only spoken to achieve short-term gratification with no intent of follow-through, or the attraction appears as competition to more fulfilling relationships, the long-term result won't be worth the thrill of the chase.
The appearance of a viable relationship does not always bear out, so don't put anything of real value at risk over an infatuation. Since the suit here is Coins, this is as likely to be related to business as to pleasure. Try to remove the influence of glamour from your thinking.
Note: In the English decks, like the Rider-Waite, the sickly poor freezing outside a well lit church warn of the painful outcomes of bad choices, rather than focusing on the dynamic tension of the choosing itself.
In the Advice Position
Pooling resources allows you to make bolder moves and larger investments in future projects.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
The Five of Coins in this position advises you to create contractual agreements with those around you who have similar interests. In this kind of situation, there is strength in numbers. Put your heads together and devise a bold plan for future objectives and decide how to invest in their success. This Five of Coins recommends teamwork and the mutual benefits a combined effort can yield.
Note: In the English decks, like the Rider-Waite, the sickly poor freezing outside a well-lit church warn of the painful outcomes of bad choices, rather than focusing on the dynamic tension of the choosing itself.

13. TERMS OF SALE The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 "information to buyers".
(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
15. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium provided that
(1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or
(2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

From the Feb. 11, 2008, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
In many ways, H. Vincent Poor, a 1977 graduate alumnus who became dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science in June 2006, epitomizes Princeton's tradition of the teacher-scholar.
A distinguished researcher in the field of electrical engineering, Poor for several years taught a course on the wireless revolution, which was one of the most popular undergraduate classes on campus and was heralded as a model for teaching technology in a political, economic and social context. In 2002, Poor was awarded a National Science Foundation Director's Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholars. Shortly before becoming dean, Poor launched Princeton's Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, which embraces an entrepreneurial, risk-taking approach to teaching engineers and non-engineers.
As the Michael Henry Strater University Professor of Electrical Engineering, Poor leads a robust 20-member research group, and he continues to collaborate with industry. In the past two years, he has received six U. S. patents on various aspects of wireless communication technology, five of which have been assigned to industry. Poor's most recent book, which will be published this year by Cambridge University Press, addresses "statistical change detection" — a fundamental problem that arises not only in engineering but also in the natural and social sciences.
These accomplishments inform Poor's leadership as he guides the engineering school's current growth, which involves major efforts to develop more inventive teaching methods and to expand interdisciplinary research initiatives to better serve society. The school enrolls about 20 percent of the University's undergraduates and about 25 percent of its graduate students. As dean, Poor oversees six engineering departments: civil and environmental, chemical, electrical, mechanical and aerospace, and operations research and financial engineering, as well as computer science.
In the following interview, Poor talks about the School of Engineering, reflecting on its past and contemplating its future.
When you were invited to speak recently at Harvard's launch of its engineering school, you talked about the role of engineering in the context of a liberal arts university. What is that role?
The primary role of engineering as a discipline is to use scientific knowledge to do useful things for society. So in academia, engineering serves as a bridge between the natural sciences on one hand and the humanities and the social sciences on the other. Engineers are, of course, involved very closely with natural scientists in seeking new scientific knowledge. But, engineers also work closely with humanists and social scientists in examining the implications of technology. At a liberal arts university, engineering plays a central role not only in research but also in teaching. It is our responsibility as engineering educators to make sure that all of our students, whether they are majoring in engineering or not, are technologically literate.
How do you view the progress of Princeton's efforts to strengthen that role?
I would point to our Center for Innovation in Engineering Education as a prime example of our progress in strengthening links between engineering and the broader world. In its short lifetime, the center has made great strides, introducing new lecture series as well as new courses, some of which are interdisciplinary within engineering and others that reach broadly across campus. The center's EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) program brings together engineers and non-engineers to create engineering solutions for specific community problems. You will be hearing about other ambitious initiatives in the near future. Our goal is always to provide education of the highest quality both within the School of Engineering and to students outside of engineering.
With engineering as a major priority in the University's newly launched fundraising campaign, what are the key goals for the school's continued growth?
Our priorities cover four major areas of societal need: energy, environment, health and security. We plan targeted growth in these four areas, creating new faculty positions and supporting those new positions with a commensurate growth in student body and new research facilities. Many of the new faculty members will have joint appointments with other units on campus — the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, the Princeton Environmental Institute, the School of Architecture, molecular biology, genomics, neuroscience, chemistry and others.
Of course, energy and the environment are not new areas for us. We have been collaborating for years with the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Woodrow Wilson School — most notably in connection with the Carbon Mitigation Initiative. But we are already experiencing significant growth in this area, and I expect that this will continue dramatically in the coming years — in every area of engineering. Major technological innovations are needed if we want biofuels and solar energy to become practical alternatives to fossil fuels. Princeton engineering is increasingly involved in clean technology in general — for example, in green buildings and green information technology. Energy and environment also pose significant challenges in financial engineering, such as carbon trading or the effects of biofuel production on commodity prices, areas in which we can leverage our partnership with economics through the Bendheim Center for Finance.
The School of Engineering already has significant research programs related to human health, from the development of nanoparticles for drug delivery to innovative approaches for treating diabetes. But we have even bolder ambitions. As President Shirley Tilghman has often noted, biology is experiencing a revolutionary shift, one that calls for multidisciplinary collaboration. At the vanguard of this shift are unrivaled researchers at Princeton in the Department of Molecular Biology, the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. While we have substantial collaborations now with our colleagues in these life sciences, by deepening, expanding and leveraging these collaborations the School of Engineering can become a world-class center for biological engineering.
We also plan to build on our broad strengths in the field of security. This means both traditional aspects of security, which you might think of in terms of national or homeland security. But it also means secure information technology — for example, security and privacy on the Internet and in wireless communications. Our newly launched Center for Information Technology Policy addresses questions such as the security of electronic voting or the security of electronic medical records. Another aspect of security is economic and financial security. Engineering expertise can be brought to bear on general problems of decision-making in the face of uncertainty. Tsunamis, earthquakes, terrorist attacks — these events are going to happen. But society has to plan and to go forward without being paralyzed by them. Engineering plays a key role in the mitigation of risk associated with such events.
Currently more than half of non-engineering students at Princeton take an engineering course during their academic career. What are the challenges of teaching technology to humanities students?
Motivating students to learn technological subjects is not hard since most of today's students are very curious about technology. Also, because the impact of technology is so pervasive — ranging from very basic human needs such as water and shelter, to relatively more abstract things such as information and energy — it touches on the interests of most students. So the difficulty tends to be primarily pedagogical, in that engineering is typically taught in a hierarchical fashion with courses being built on a series of prerequisites. One of our biggest challenges in teaching to non-majors is to unthink that mode of teaching. Essentially, you have to unlearn all the things you know about a subject, to go back to the point where you did not know them, and then build a course on a base of common knowledge. We teach engineers how to create technology; with non-engineers, the focus instead is on the social, political and economic dimensions of technology. As a teacher, putting all of these facets of technology together is challenging, but also very rewarding.
What were the big challenges that Princeton's engineering school faced when you received your graduate degree here 30 years ago? Are they fundamentally different from those you face today as dean?
There are many commonalities between then and now. As a graduate student, I enjoyed substantial intellectual freedom — the ability to explore whatever interesting problems appealed to me, to learn things in-depth, to branch out to other fields like physics or mathematics without the daily pressure of having to meet deadlines for a research sponsor.
On the other hand, I would say that engineering at that time was much more inward-looking and less engaged with the outside world, or with the rest of campus than today. Even physically, there was a geographical disconnect with the rest of campus. Thirty years ago there was no Friend Center, no Bowen Hall, no Wallace Hall. It would have been rare to see students from the humanities or social sciences in the engineering neighborhood of campus. Today we have become much more thoroughly integrated with the rest of campus — not only physically but intellectually as well. We have some surprising interdisciplinary connections — between electrical engineering and philosophy, for example, or between computer science and music. Our students are internationally engaged as well. The Princeton chapter of Engineers Without Borders does important work abroad, in places like Guatemala and Ethiopia. We also work more closely with industry today. So there are many differences, although our core values of quality and an emphasis on fundamentals are still constant.
What do you want Princeton's engineering neighborhood to be like 30 years from now?
My hope is that undergraduates and graduate students arriving here in 2038 will experience the same intellectual freedom that has always been a hallmark of the Princeton engineering education. But I also hope that engineering's boundaries — both physical and intellectual — will have expanded even beyond where they are today.
Princeton has a large engineering school relative to the size of the University, and this gives us an opportunity — and an obligation — to help define what will constitute a liberal arts education in the future. In 30 years, I expect that there will be a seamless integration between engineering and the rest of campus. Technological literacy will play the same role that, say, economics does today in the sense that it will be a natural part of undergraduate education.
If we are able to make wise investments in the near term I think we will see an explosive growth at Princeton in biological engineering, in fields related to energy, environment and security, and in interfaces between engineering and fields like neuroscience. I expect that students will become even more involved with the Woodrow Wilson School, because virtually all technologies have important policy implications, and of course many key policy issues, such as the response to climate change, have major technological components. Our international experience and presence will continue to expand. Every Princeton engineer will be a world citizen.
In terms of physical growth, Princeton is currently constructing a striking new building that will house our Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering and the Center for Information Technology Policy. That building will complete a new quadrangle in the engineering neighborhood, anchored with the Computer Science Building, the Friend Center and Mudd Library. With this new building and the ambitious expansion of laboratory space under way, our current neighborhood will be completely built-out within the next five to 10 years. My expectation is that in the coming three decades, engineering's building opportunities will be in the science neighborhood of campus — as joint enterprises with other disciplines.
A new venture this year is Princeton's Grand Challenges Initiative. How did that partnership develop, and what is engineering's role?
The Grand Challenges Initiative is a joint effort among the School of Engineering, the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Woodrow Wilson School. This grew largely out of our existing partnership in the Carbon Mitigation Initiative, which I mentioned earlier and which is a large joint research program funded by BP and Ford that strives to address some of the underlying scientific, technological and political issues relating to climate change.
Grand Challenges expands on the general idea of taking an interdisciplinary approach to addressing major societal issues — issues like energy and climate, global health and poverty in Africa. These three are particularly important examples of issues that have significant science, technology and policy components. They also are areas in which we can integrate research with teaching at all academic levels, from freshman seminars to postdoctoral projects. I should point out that the range of disciplines brought to bear on the problems identified in the Grand Challenges Initiative is very broad, potentially encompassing all of the engineering disciplines, the natural and social sciences, and the humanities. So the idea is to bring as much intellectual firepower to bear on these problems as is possible.
You are juggling the everyday responsibilities of the dean's office, yet you continue to make your research a priority. How is the research going?
Since engineering is primarily about innovation, I do not think I could be fully engaged as dean in a place like Princeton without continuing my research. Engineering is a rapidly changing field; you have to stay at the top of your game at all times, or you can fall hopelessly behind. I feel that my research is going well — I have a rather large group of outstanding graduate students, postdocs and visitors, and we are involved in some exciting things, mainly in the field of wireless communications. Being dean informs my research in the sense that I have a broad view of what is going on in the engineering school and in the University at large. So I see areas where the methodology I use in my own research might have a role in other disciplines.
You have been having regular dinners with freshmen this year. What is the most surprising thing you have learned from your conversations with members of the class of '11?
The thing that always amazes me about freshmen is their insight, at such a young age, into what they want to do with their lives. Their breadth and passion and energy give me great hope for the future.

PROFILE: The Daily Mail is a British, daily middle market tabloid newspaper. First published in 1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper after The Sun. It is currently owned by the Dail Mail and General Trust plc. The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily newspaper aimed at the newly-literate "lower-middle class market resulting from mass education, combining a low retail price with plenty of competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks". It was the first British paper to sell a million copies a day. It was, from the outset, a newspaper pitched at women and is still the only British newspaper whose readership is more than 50% female. Politically the Daily Mail has a conservative slant. Its frequently sensationalist, conservatively biased headlines often provoke a strong reaction amongst the liberal leaning blogosphere who sarcastically label it the "Daily Fail". As of May 2011 its online version is the most popular newspaper web site in the UK with around 64 million unique visitors for the month.

Campagnolo Record 12x2 Speed Crankset
The new Record 12x2 Speed crankset: a new hole-free design for the right-hand crank that optimizes aerodynamics.
The new carbon fiber Record 12x2 Speed crankset with unidirectional finishing guarantees continuity with the finishing of the entire groupset, whilst maintaining the Ultra-Torque bracket system on the steel axle to ensure perfect transmission of power. The new Record 12x2 Speed crankset can be installed on any type of frame, whether or not it is being used with disc brakes because it optimizes the chain line on the frame with a rear hub flange measuring 130, 135 or 142 millimeters without affecting the Q factor that remains constant at 145.5 millimeters.
The innovative design of the outer chainring ensures faster, quieter derailing owing to the contoured pin. The symmetrical design of the inner chainring teeth allows improved stability with chain crossovers.
The double wheel sizing standards (112 and 145 millimeters) enable reducing the weight through greater use of carbon fiber. There are eight fixing screws for increased structural stiffness. The varying number of pins for each of the three chainring combinations (34/50, 36/52, 39/53) facilitates upshifting due to the optimized free strokes associated with each combination. The special drains on the inside of the outer chainrings optimize performance when downshifting in dead spots.

AMELIA ISLAND, Florida (11 March, 2013) – RM Auctions, the official auction house of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, continued its run of fantastic 2013 results this past weekend with a highly successful Amelia Island, Florida, sale which saw records tumble and more than $26.8m* grossed with over 92% of all lots sold.
Celebrating its 15th year in 2013, the well-established auction saw an incredible roster of more than 85 blue-chip automobiles presented before a truly international audience of bidders. The sale's "star car," the beautiful 1935 Duesenberg Model SJ Walker-LaGrande Convertible Coupe, one of only three produced and the only supercharged example, attracted immense interest, selling for an outstanding $4,510,000 to firmly establish itself as the top seller of the day and this year's Amelia Island weekend.
The second highest performer was the simply lovely 1933 Stutz DV32 Convertible Victoria, the recipient of a spectacular, class-winning restoration, which attracted spirited bidding in the room and on the phones, eventually selling for $1,512,500. The final sales price represented double the car's pre-sale estimate and a new marque record for a Stutz sold at auction.
Gord Duff, Car Specialist, RM Auctions said: "Our Amelia Island auction is always a highlight of our global calendar, and this year's sale was another incredible success for RM. The results achieved for the Duesenberg and the Stutz in particular illustrate that great cars are continuing to attract great prices at auction. We look forward to continuing the momentum at our upcoming Don Davis and Lake Como sales."
Results from RM's Amelia Island sale also highlight the sustained strong performance of Ferraris in the market, with V-12 powered, front-engined cars of the 1960s continuing to be in huge demand. The matching-numbers 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB, chassis 07751, stunning in classic Ferrari red and having been in single ownership for 37 years, was the third highest selling lot of the auction, realizing a strong $1,375,000. Further reinforcing the demand for the finest examples from Italy's most iconic sports car maker was the 1952 Ferrari 225 Sport Berlinetta "Tuboscocca," chassis 0168ED, a terrific example of one of Ferrari's early race cars and one of only six made in period. The recipient of a fresh mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment and boasting a well-documented history, it found a new home for $1,237,500.
Wrapping up the list of cars achieving million-dollar-plus results at the March 9 sale was the imposing and very rare 1911 Lozier Model 51 Seven-Passenger Touring. One of the mightiest Brass Era touring cars, the Lozier attracted enormous interest, eventually selling for a remarkable $1,100,000 to become another lot to sell for more than twice its pre-sale estimate.
Two additional lots worthy of special mention were a rare early production 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster, a car restored to the highest standards and boasting a double set of fitted luggage, which garnered a final sales price of $220,000, establishing a new world auction record in the process. The other record-breaking lot was the 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage, also a recipient of a world-class restoration and particularly spectacular in its 'Black Pearl' paintwork and caramel tan interior, which achieved $489,500, to equal the highest sum ever paid for a DB6 Vantage at auction.

The National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP) offers a collaborative network for Australian organisations to build and implement effective road safety strategies in the workplace.
The program offers organisations the resources to improve road safety that best fit their individual operations and, at the same time, improve business productivity through less time and money lost through safety incidents.
The program is not a prescriptive approach but aims to complement existing safety legislation by providing access to a 'knowledge bank' from a diverse network of organisations to given them the resources to implement their own initiatives. The tools will help make the business case for organisations shifting their safety focus from 'having' to safety to secure a contract to 'wanting' to because it is simply good business.

Iontophoresis Protocol: Hamstring Tendinitis
Hamstring tendinitis results from inflammation of one of the three hamstring muscles: the biceps femoris (lateral), semimembranosus and semitendinosus (medial). Tendinitis occurs after strain, contusion or repeated irritation of one or more of the involved muscles. Often there will be muscle spasm and tenderness to palpation at the origin and/or insertion of one or more of the hamstring tendons. Pain is felt on passive stretching and resisted muscle contraction. Patients usually experience pain and stiffness at rest and increased flexibility with activity.
The mechanism of injury may be insidious or traumatic. Often hamstring tendinitis occurs in runners, bikers, skiers or from activities that require repeated jumping with the knees bent. Pain can be felt at rest, initially during activity. or on palpation of the hamstring tendons. Pain can also be experienced below the joint line on the posteromedial aspect of the knee as in semimembranosus tendinitis.

Nearly 16 months after the shooting death of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., the man charged with second-degree murder is due in court Monday for the start of his trial.
According to experts interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel, the prosecution and defense will be looking for very different kinds of people to sit on the jury that will hear the evidence against George Zimmerman:
"Defense attorneys will likely favor people age 40 and older, predicted Orlando jury consultant Susan Constantine. They'll also want managers, authority figures, people who are analytic — engineers, for example — those who are unemotional and will focus on the facts.
"Expect prosecutors to favor people ages 18 to 35, those with lower-paying jobs — for example, social workers, construction workers or people in service industries — and, in general, those who rely more on emotion in making decisions, Constantine said. Defense attorneys will favor whites, prosecutors blacks, she said."
On Morning Edition, NPR's Greg Allen recapped the story and previewed the trial. Trayvon's death, and the way local prosecutors initially handled the case, sparked protests in several cities across the nation and reignited the national discussion about race relations.
Zimmerman has said he acted in self defense. But Trayvon's family and its supporters say Zimmerman racially profiled the 17-year-old, who had been walking through a Sanford neighborhood. Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watch volunteer, had called police to report a "suspicious" looking person was in the area. The two then had a violent encounter.
