Prof. Farber, a long time player in both these activities, will explore this interplay as an indicator of the future directions in Internet development. He will explore the likely next major steps forward in technology and how it may dramatically change the structure of the Internet. He will explore how the current FCC hearings may impact this technical change. Finally he will explore what the impact will be on our culture and on the life of our children.

Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. He retired in 2003 as the
Alfred Fitler Moore Professor of Telecommunication Systems at the
University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn, he took a leave of absence to

first electronic switching system and co-designed the programming
language SNOBOL. His early academic research work at the University of
California at Irvine focused on creating the world’s first operational
Distributed Computer System. He then helped conceive and organize CSNet,
NSFNet and the NREN while on faculty at the University of Delaware.
Prof. Farber is a Fellow of both the ACM and the IEEE. He was named in
the 1997 edition of the UPSIDE's Elite 100 as one of the visionaries of
the field and in the 1999 Network World as one of the 25 most powerful
people in networking. In 2002 he was named by Business Week as one of

During five months of operations, the probe confirmed the presence of frozen water just below the planet's surface, found minerals that form in liquid water, identified potential nutrients in the soil, and observed snow in the atmosphere. Phoenix's cameras captured more than 25,000 pictures, from grand landscapes to nanoscale images using the first atomic force microscope ever used outside Earth. Throughout the mission, which ended in November 2008, Smith and his team controlled the lander from the University of Arizona's Science Operations Center, working closely with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver. An international assembly of scientific institutes in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and Switzerland also was involved.

Listen now.Description: The first expeditions to the Far North in the mid-1800s set off a wave of fascination with the Arctic that continues to influence popular culture, from the polar bears decorating the packaging of your favorite ice cream bars, to stylish parkas with fur-lined hoods.
Using striking visuals of grand silver presentation pieces adorned with polar bears, fine china sporting Inuit hunting scenes, and softly lit paintings of ships in ice-filled waters, cultural historian Robert McCracken Peck showed during his talk at the University of Delaware on Thursday, Oct. 30, how Arctic exploration captivated the American psyche in the mid-19th century and began permeating households.
Peck, a senior fellow at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, is a distinguished explorer and author and an alumnus of the University's Winterthur Program in American Material Culture.
The lecture was the latest in the William S. Carlson International Polar Year Events, a series named in honor of the world's International Polar Year and the University's president from 1946-1950 who was an avid Arctic researcher. Today, the University of Delaware is a leading center for polar studies, involved in permafrost science to the building of the world's largest neutrino telescope at the South Pole.
