		<description><![CDATA[I read today that the Dalai Lama&#8217;s nephew, Jigme Norbu, was struck and killed by a driver in Florida. (My sincere condolences to the family.) He was from Bloomington, IN, where his late father, the Dalai Lama&#8217;s brother, Thubten Norbuhold, had been a professor. In the early 1980s, a friend of mine had met the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article provides examples of an engineering concept regarding what makes systems (engineered or natural) either robust or failure prone. The latter are characterized by lack of redundancy, interconnectedness, efficiency, and sensitivity to stress. Together, these characteristics amplify the effects of exponentially increasing strain prior to system collapse. Cascading effects follow from the lack of [...]]]></description>
