Steven Clarke
EEA Assistant Secretary for Renewable Energy
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs
In March of 2011, several trucks drove slowly through Ipswich carrying components for a wind energy turbine. The road was flanked with people of all ages, cheering and applauding the next chapter of Ipswich's clean energy revolution. Tim Henry, Ipswich's Director of utilities, said it best: "If you don't participate in these (alternative energy) projects, you're buying energy from either oil- or gas-fired (power) plants."
Just weeks later, the turbine was installed and online and Ipswich was one large step closer to its bright clean energy future, free from foreign fossil fuels that create significant environmental and public health problems. The town will now benefit from the fixed electricity costs this wind energy project will provide.
Ipswich's new 1.6 MW General Electric turbine will be the largest wind energy turbine in the North Shore, and will provide enough electricity to supply 500 homes, and provide approximately 3 percent of the town's electricity over the 20-year life of the turbine. The project is a $4.2 million dollar collaboration between Ipswich public schools and the town utility, where the town will pay $2.6 million and the schools will cover $1.7 million of the total cost and maintenance. Also closely involved in the project was the Ipswich Citizens Advocating Renewable Energy (ICARE), a grass roots organization that advocates renewable energy.
New England is heavily dependent on natural gas, which is prone to significant price volatility. The town's four school buildings spend approximately $320,000 dollars annually on electricity, and estimate over $620,000 dollars in savings over the life of this project. Ipswich also has a 6.4 percent share in the 15 MW Berkshire Wind project in Hancock, Massachusetts, the Commonwealth's first commercial scale wind energy project and its largest wind energy project to date.
Ipswich's new turbine is the latest chapter in the town's long tradition of environmental stewardship and a great example of leadership and vision at the local level that is driving the remarkable growth in one of the world's most vibrant clean energy markets: Massachusetts. This turbine will be the Commonwealth's 40th – four years ago, there were only three turbines installed statewide.
Recent news stories on the project.

Jeremy Piven has vowed to convince U.S. President Barack Obama to film a cameo role for "Entourage" if producers ever make a big screen version of the hit show.
The comedy drama has featured walk-on parts by a slew of famous faces including Martin Scorsese, Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Scarlett Johansson, and Mark Wahlberg.
Now Piven and his "Entourage" co-star Kevin Dillon have revealed they unsuccessfully tried to sign up Obama for a cameo - and they have promised to get him on board if plans for a movie version of the show get the green light.
Dillon tells the New York Daily News, "We thought maybe there was a chance we could get him to do something. But it didn't happen."
Piven adds, "We'll get him for the movie."

Dierks Bentley Sets Release Date for 'Riser'
After long and anxious wait for fans, Dierks Bentley has finally announced a release date for his seventh studio album, 'Riser.'
After long and anxious wait for fans, Dierks Bentley has finally announced a release date for his seventh studio album, 'Riser.'
Dierks Bentley is just one of the many great country music artists performing at the Tropical Nights: Boots In The Sand concert in beautiful Riviera Maya, Mexico, February 23 - 27.
To get you in the mood for world-class food, beach-side cabanas and, of course, seeing Dierks Bentley rock the stage, here are six great Dierks Bentley videos to watch while you're waiting to win.
You may not be ready for the new year, but we know someone who is. Dierks Bentley is pumped for 2014 -- and for good reason.
We're beyond excited to announce that Randy Houser, Thompson Square, Craig Morgan, Thomas Rhett, Tyler Farr, Charlie Worsham, Chase Rice, Blackjack Billy and Gwen Sebastian have been added to the lineup for the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival! They join already-announced Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Brantley Gilbert for the second annual country festival at Hunter Mountain. Oh, and there's still more lineup surprises on the way!
Oops! Miranda Lambert generously gifted her tourmate Dierks Bentley with an awesome new toy, which he promptly proceeded to get hung up on -- but not in the way you'd think.
Country's biggest stars may ride on tour buses and take part in glitzy tours, but when Thanksgiving comes around, they're more than satisfied with home cooking. Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley and Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum reveal their favorite foods to eat when sitting around the Turkey Day table.
Prices for the country music getaway of a lifetime have been slashed. Effective immediately, fans of Dierks Bentley, Jana Kramer, Billy Currington and Brantley Gilbert (plus sunshine, the beach and relaxation) can take in this Mexican vacay for under $1,000 per person -- a 33 percent discount!
With 'The South,' the Cadillac Three make many of the other rock-inspired country artists seem as aggressive as a Beanie Baby. Their debut single would land squarely in the rock n' roll genre 40 years ago, but time has blurred those lines. The proper response to answer cries of "That ain't real country" is to turn the volume of this jam up louder ... and louder ... and louder.
As of 10 a.m., tickets to the 2014 Taste of Country Festival featuring Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert and many more to be announced, are officially on sale!
Early bird tickets to the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival are now on sale. It's your first chance to score space on the mountain to witness Brad Paisley, Brantley Gilbert, Dierks Bentley and many more rocking out on stage during the three-day music and camping festival, June 13-15, 2014.

PerspecSys Vice President of Marketing & Products
Last month Gartner Analyst Jay Heiser conducted an extremely informative and thought-provoking webinar entitled "The Current and Future State of Cloud Security, Risk and Privacy." During the presentation, Mr. Heiser highlighted what he called the "Public Cloud Risk Gap," characterized in part by inadequate processes and technologies by the cloud service providers and in part by a lack of diligence and planning by enterprises using public cloud applications. In many ways, it was a call to arms to ensure that adequate controls, thought and preparation are put to use before public clouds are adopted by enterprises and public sector organizations.
From the side of the cloud application provider, the webinar noted that most cloud service offerings are incomplete when measured against traditional "on-premise" security standards, there are relatively few security-related Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and there is minimal transparency on the security posture of most cloud services. From the enterprise side (the cloud service consumer), he points out that they frequently come to the table with inadequate planning and consideration in the area of security requirements definition and have an incomplete data sensitivity classification governing their data assets. Despite this, the webinar highlighted that organizations of all sizes are increasingly willing to place their data externally, and they are increasingly likely to have at least some formalized processes for the assessment of the associated risk - which is good news.
One approach that more and more organizations are considering is encryption of the data on the servers of the cloud provider, but three issues are identified: (1) this may cover data at rest, but what about data in transit?; (2) server-based encryption "breaks" application functionality that end users likely depend on, such as "Searching" and "Sorting" information, and; (3) who owns the encryption keys? The more parties that own the keys- the greater the risks. One of the capstone recommendations that Gartner gives viewers at the conclusion of the webinar is to ensure they protect highly sensitive information with data control technology. The good news is that technologies in this solution category are available now and are being rapidly adopted across a variety of diverse industries such as Healthcare, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Defense and Government. Gateways capable of supporting Salesforce.com encryption, Oracle encryption, SuccessFactors encryption, etc., need to be considered as part of an overall enterprise cloud security strategy.
One innovative part of this new category of solutions is referred to by Gartner as "Cloud Encryption Gateways." These gateways put sensitive data control back into the hands of the enterprise in scenarios where they are using public cloud services. When designed and deployed correctly, they are able to preserve the end user's experience with the cloud application (think of things like "Search" and "Reporting") even while securing the data being processed and stored in the cloud. These Gateways intercept sensitive data while it is still on-premise and replace it with a random tokenized or strongly encrypted value, rendering it meaningless should anyone hack the data while it is in transit, processed or stored in the cloud. If encryption is used, the enterprise controls the key. If tokenization is used, the enterprise controls the token vault. But not all gateways are created equal, so please refer to this recent paper in our Knowledge Center to make sure you ask the right questions when determining which gateway is the right fit for your specific Security, IT and End User needs.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

P2P RTC will impact the landscape of communications, shifting from traditional telephony style communications models to OTT (Over-The-Top) cloud assisted & PaaS (Platform as a Service) communication services. The P2P shift will impact many areas of our lives, from mobile communication, human interactive web services, RTC and telephony infrastructure, user federation, security and privacy implications, business costs, and scalability. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Robin Raymond, Chief Architect at Hookflash, will walk through the shifting landscape of traditional telephone and voice services ...

Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, described how to revolutioniz...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Few are the beers that can be called out in a single word. They are the Madonna's of the beer world, a last name unnecessary because the first name carries all the weight. So while Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat (the Duvel Brewery, for non-Dutch speakers) brews a dozen different beers, the word "Duvel" means one thing. This is the Belgian golden strong ale: a crisp, bold brew defining the style for hundreds of imitators. The cracker-like sweetness; the lively carbonation; the zesty, peppery kick; the earthy hopping; and, the deceptively bold alcohol content: this beer is an absolute classic that any self-respecting beer geek should have at least once. Try it at St. Stephen's Green, Iron Abbey and others.
We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.

JAKE Holland got to imagine what it would have been like to be his great, great grandfather fighting in the First World War at the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum.
The seven-year-old visited on the opening day of its new exhibition about the Great War on Tuesday. His great, great grandfather, Private Harry Holland, served with the Royal Lancaster Regiment in the trenches of northern France.
Jake's dad, Peter Holland, carried on the military tradition, serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in Afghanistan, so he has a keen interest in the army. Jake said: "I enjoyed learning about the Army from many years ago."
He and his dad, mum Bev and sister Ellie, five, visited the Woodstock museum on a holiday to Oxfordshire from Preston.

As I prepare to go on leave for the next few months, I've been relieved to see how well we've been able to plan for my absence, thanks to the Libraries' ongoing commitment to growing a sustainable digital initiatives program. While a leave of this length would have been detrimental to our progress back when DLS was in its infancy, investments in cross-training and position reallocation over the past couple of years have given us the flexibility to increase the distribution of metadata duties throughout the library.
Within DLS, new staff members Wendy Robertson and Anne Shelley provide specialized cataloging expertise gained from their backgrounds in serials and electronic resources management and in music librarianship. Thanks to the University's internal internship program, Christine Tade from Central Technical Services and Ellen Jones from Circulation have received training on all aspects of digital library work, with a particular forcus in metadata. Cataloging staff from CTS have added production work on metadata projects to their other duties. And we're even delegating assistance with metadata training and support within the Digital Library Fellowship program, with plans to capitalize on the hard-won expertise of last year's fellows by pairing them with members of this fall's incoming cohort.
Together, these staff and students will be taking good care of Iowa Digital Library and its users by continuing to create resources that are easy to find, manage and share.
–Jen Wolfe
Metadata Librarian, Digital Library Services
Today the Digital Library Services staff page was updated. Wow. The department has grown from three full-time staff to seven in the past year.
The latest addition to our staff is Anne Shelley, a special projects librarian devoted to music and fine arts digital collection building. She started on July 1 and will spearhead work on the forthcoming Ignaz Pleyel digital collection, 200 works of historical sheet music by the famous 18th century composer whose scores are housed as the Rita Benton Music Library. She will also work to develop Iowa Sounds, a collection of audio recordings ranging from musical performances to radio shows with Iowa ties. Anne holds a B.M. in Music from Iowa State University (2004) and a M.A. in Library and Information Science from the University of Iowa (2008).
Last month, Keo Hoang joined the department to provide support for and supervision of the growing Digital Initiatives Project Room as the department this fall welcomes a new cohort of Digital Librarianship Fellowship Students from the School of Library and Information Science. Late last year, Wendy Robertson joined DLS to help expand support of electronic scholarship, including developing an infrastructure to support locally published e-journals and establishing a repository and streamlined workflows for faculty publications such as e-books. Wendy's expertise in data analysis has allowed DLS to take a big leap forward on those digital collections that have required batch loading, migrating from one system to another, and aggregating with other information resources. Also last year, Bobby Duncan joined DLS to assist with image processing and quality control. Founding members of Digital Library Services include digital initiatives librarian Mark Anderson and metadata librarian Jen Wolfe.
With double the staff—and with the help of several digital librarianship fellows—we are working hard to develop the Iowa Digital Library into a robust repository.
—Nicole Saylor
Head, Digital Library Services
Digital Library Services welcomes Keo Hoang as its new Digital Initiatives Support Specialist. Keo comes to DLS from Hardin Library for the Health Sciences and the Information Arcade, and he returns to the third floor of Main Library where he spent several years with Desktop Support.
Keo will be providing support for and supervision of the growing Digital Initiatives Project Room as the department this fall welcomes a new cohort of Digital Librarianship Fellowship Students from the School of Library and Information Science.
He is an avid gardener whose home is included in this year's Project GREEN Garden Tour. Welcome, Keo!

Just returned from Indianapolis and Midwest Users Group Conference for CONTENTdm, the digital asset management software that we use to power the Iowa Digital Library. This was the third annual meeting, but really the first year that it's been truly regional, attendance-wise. It was really positive to hear how numbers had grown in those three years. In '06, there were 30 attendees, and 60 last year. This year, 101. It shows a growing user base that will hopefully have a greater influence on the system's growth and development. More regional meetings are planned for this year including ones in the southeast and mid-Atlantic.
We received an update from Claire Cocco, CONTENTdm's product manager on some exciting enhancements to expect later this year, and Glee Willis delivered a great keynote on day two, encouraging digital libraries to stretch the system through customizations in order to best serve information users, showing examples from some of the leaders in the CONTENTdm community.
I particularly enjoyed the University of Louisville's session on using the MyMaps feature of Google Maps to add overlays as browse interfaces through which to enter cartographic resources in CONTENTdm. DLS's own Wendy Robertson spoke at a presentation about workflows for migrating MARC catalog records to CONTENTdm, which was well received by the audience.
I participated on panels discussing digitizing scrapbooks and yearbooks and using CONTENTdm for art collections, and also brought along Jen Wolfe's eye-catching poster depicting how DLS handles scrapbooks. Nicole Saylor served on the conference's planning committee and Brian Thompson attended the meeting as a way to become more familiar with the system and its community of users. So, LIT was well represented.
There was even talk of an upper-Midwest CONTENTdm users group getting together later this year. It's nice to see this kind of organization, but my hope is that CONTENTdm users can maintain a similar level of activity and working together between meetings, perhaps by blowing the dust off the user group wiki, which can help all levels of implementation make the best use of the system.
One of the most beneficial pieces of the meeting was meeting new people and talking about the different ways in which we're using the system for digital library activities. We enjoyed some good food and a great record store in downtown Indianapolis (sorry Jen, never made it to Trader Joe's), but now it's back to work.

The University of Iowa Digital Library now contains 100,000 items. To mark this milestone, a 13th-century Bible manuscript page from the Special Collections Department of the UI Libraries has been scanned and uploaded to represent the transformation of information storage over the centuries, from handmade parchment to zeroes and ones.
"Digital versions of rare records and documents bring new attention to the physical artifacts that have made up human communication in the past," said Matthew Brown, director of the UI Center for the Book. "The Iowa Digital Library is exactly the kind of teaching tool that alerts students to meanings of the medium, whether it be paper or stone, handwriting or typeface, engraving or photograph."
"As scholarship increasingly moves online, it's essential that we follow suit with our physical collections," said Nicole Saylor, head of Digital Library Services. "By increasing accessibility to the UI's rare and unique materials through digitization, the Libraries will continue to be relevant and vital participants in the University's research and educational processes."
See the full press release here.
It can be hard staying current in the emerging field of metadata librarianship, so when I heard that instructors from Brown University's Women Writers Project would be giving a nearby workshop on TEI, the Text Encoding Initiative XML schema, I immediately signed up. Besides learning how to encode historic texts for possible digital humanities initiatives, I also hoped to stay a step ahead of our Digital Librarianship Fellows, who are eager to be mentored on XML projects for DLS. Alas, I discovered that wouldn't be the case when I heard that all ten Fellows would be joining me in Urbana, Ill., site of the workshop, where we would learn the schema together.
Trading in my mentoring duties for those of chaperone turned out not to be particularly taxing, as the Fellows were model students. When we weren't in workshop sessions — learning the metadata schema itself, along with XML editing tools, exstensible stylesheets, and TEI delivery applications — they could usually be found holed up with their laptops, designing database projects for school and other studious activities. (The reports of beer funneling back at the hotel were, I'm sure, only ugly rumors.)
Being in close quarters with the group for three days wasn't a problem either, as I had recently built up a high Fellow tolerance. Back in December, we had no sooner bid farewell to that semester's Fellows than we were notified that all four of them would be returning to our department in January, along with four more of their cohort, to spend most of their collective 160 (!!) hours per week in DLS. This influx in staff has necessitated a more collaborative approach this time around, as the Fellows have stepped up to help design and shape their experiences on projects ranging from traditional collection-building work to large-scale data migration and application development initiatives. See the blogs below for first-hand accounts of their journeys to digital librarianship.

Funded by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian grant , our new digital library fellows have been tracking their progress with a suitably 21st century learning tool: the blog. During the next two years of their program, these students will be blogging their way through a series of half-time clinical rotations in various departments and programs around campus. The four fellows who have chosen to start their work projects in DLS will learn how to build a digital collection from the ground up: from artifact selection to production to collection launch and promotion. By documenting their experiences online, they'll be better able to articulate what they've learned, while also creating a record to help current and future students navigate their way through similar situations.
We encourage you to bookmark the sites below and enjoy vicariously as our intrepid fellows battle forces like scope creep, copyright restrictions, and obsolete AV formats on their paths to becoming digital librarians.

"I learned from Wikipedia that scope creep 'refers to uncontrolled changes in a project's scope. This phenomenon can occur when the scope of a project is not properly defined, documented, or controlled. It is generally considered a negative occurrence to be avoided.' Over the course of the next week, I would learn how easily scope creep could, uh, creep into a digital library project."
Student: Jane Monson
Project: Recipe pamphlets in the Chef Louis Szathmary Collection of Culinary Arts
Blog: Notes From the Library
"Now begins the time consuming task of poring over the thousands of pamphlets, in search of the most interesting and informative ones to include. It feels a little like digging through a treasure chest. I was very excited about a Wrigley Spearmint gum pamphlet from 1915, which features a 'spear-man' reciting nursery rhymes. I'm trying to muster the same enthusiasm for the kitschy ads of the 50s and 60s…they're less unique, and I'm easily distracted by more arcane products like the Air-O-Mix 'Whip All' food aerator (which, according to early 20th century experts, makes food somehow magically more nutritious)."
Student: Bryan Stusse
Project: Artists' Television Network
Blog: IMLS Fellowship
"The most significant problem facing this project is that of copyright. I searched to print materials associated with this collection for a few days and finally came across some University of Iowa documents from when the collection was being built and funding secured stating that artists would retain all copyrights unless otherwise noted on the tapes. I did find release waivers from Gregory Battcock and Steven Poser, who were involved in discussions and interviews. Basically this means I will need to start contacting artists directly for reproduction rights."
Student: Jill Wehrheim
Projects: Iowa Civil War Diaries; Iowa Railroad Depots
Blog: Jill's Weblog
"The biggest challenge I've encountered so far (besides being from Illinois and having to take a little extra time learning about towns and counties in Iowa) has been figuring out where towns are that are not on current maps. Of the approximate 60 photos of depots in Dallas County, there are about 10 towns with depot pictures that are not on current maps. Although this makes my task harder and take longer, I have enjoyed the challenge of tracking down where the depots once existed."
On my drive to work this week the radio told of more soldiers dying in Iraq. Soon, an ambulance whizzed by me—off to save another life. Talk about work that really matters, I thought, as I tootled toward the University of Iowa Main Library for a day of helping lead the charge to digitize a bunch of cool stuff—old photographs, correspondence, maybe postcards or some scrapbooks from library archives. While my work as the new head of Digital Library Services hardly compares to the life-and-death heroics of soldiers or EMTs, I still like to hope it matters. I know it is a whole lot of fun—sure beats flipping pancakes for hire or writing a first-person dog column ("Hello, I'm Scruffy…"), gigs I'll admit to having some experience with in the distant past.
When I arrive at work it's not long before I am reminded—repeatedly—why creating these digital collections matters. A quick disclaimer: The bragging I'm about to do has next to nothing to do with me. I just got here. The credit goes to my predecessor Paul Soderdahl, metadata librarian Jen Wolfe, and digital initiatives librarian Mark Anderson in Digital Library Services. The UI Libraries online collection now has more than 75,000 digital objects thanks to their work and that of Nancy E. Kraft, who heads the Iowa Heritage Digital Collection (IHDC), plus the amazing contributions from a wide range of record holders. Impressive, especially if you consider they began this effort less than two years ago.
Online use statistics are the easiest way to see that digital collections are vastly expanding the library's reach. Not surprisingly, on-campus use is high. More surprising are numbers like this: In April alone, Iowa Public Schools users approached our digital collections 4,834 times. As Mark aptly points out, that is a hit about every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, during the entire month of April. We not only get hits from places like Iowa State University (more than 6,500 times in April) but from thousands of far-away places like Poland (2,400 hits) and Tuvalu (500), a Polynesian island nation halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Since I arrived I've heard a steady stream of stories about how online collections provide instant answers to questions that once took much, much longer. Questions like, where was the old Dresden china store located in Iowa City? Check out the Iowa City Town and Campus Scenes Collection to view a picture of the storefront.
But the most compelling evidence of the power of digital collections arises from stories of people like Craig D. Spotser of Texas. His email, forwarded to us by Susan Kuecker at the African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa, started this way: "GOD…..This is a picture of my Grandfather. He passed away when my father was a small boy. I only had a small picture of him, far way, standing in front of his car and home in Iowa. My father, Craig W. Spotser, has never seen a picture of him that close up, but he passed away in February 2002. This is amazing. How can I obtain a copy of the photo of my Grandfather? I was surfing the web, and this is the first time that I have seen this picture. I almost started crying. I look almost identical to him, and so does my son."
The spitting image looking back at Craig Spotser was C.W. Spotser, a professor at University of Iowa in the 1920s. The picture was found in a scrapbook kept by Althea "Bee" Moore," an undergraduate student at UI from 1924-1928. Late last year, library assistant Christine Tade worked with the scrapbook owners at the African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa to work out the logistics of sending it to UI Libraries for digitization and preservation work. Christine's resulting digital project was the digitized scrapbook.
This discovery, along with additional help from University Archives archivist David McCartney and others, enabled the Spotser family to locate their grandfather's grave. They plan to visit soon to make sure he has a headstone, said Chris Spotser, Craig's brother. If he doesn't, the family is going to make sure he gets one. I know all of this because Chris called today, out of the blue, to thank us for sending a copy of the photo. "You guys are doing some fantastic work! Even if it's just helping one person, we're extremely grateful." This is why we librarians love what we do, and I'm just grateful to become a part of what's happening with digital collections at Iowa.

Head, Digital Library Services
Google intends to scan every book ever published, and to make the full texts searchable, in the same way that Web sites can be searched on the company's engine at google.com…
No one really knows how many books there are. The most volumes listed in any catalogue is thirty-two million, the number in WorldCat, a database of titles from more than twenty-five thousand libraries around the world. Google aims to scan at least that many. "We think that we can do it all inside of ten years," Marissa Mayer, a vice-president who is in charge of the books project, said recently.
– "Google's Moon Shot: The Quest for the Universal Library" by Jeffrey Toobin, The New Yorker, Feb. 5, 2007
When Digital Library Services debuted in January 2006, the library world was still reeling from Google's announcement of plans to scan and make searchable the holdings of five of the world's major research libraries. Like digital librarians everywhere, the staff of DLS was left with a serious case of existential angst. With a mission to create digital content while guarding against duplication of effort, what were we supposed to do now that every book ever published was being digitized?
The answer turned out to be pretty simple: digitize the nonbook and/or the unpublished. As more libraries sign up with Google and other collaborative mass digitization projects, those of us non-partners have refined our scope to focus on our institutions' local and unique materials in a variety of formats. As such, most new projects in DLS fall into two categories: those that document the intellectual and creative output of the University, and those that increase access to the Libraries' rare and valuable research collections.
In support of the former goal, we've been working with academic departments to acquire digitized writings and works of art created by University of Iowa faculty and students. Currently in production for Iowa Digital Library are the graduate art archives of the School of Art and Art History; electronic theses and dissertations from the Graduate College; and journal articles authored by faculty members of the Department of Political Science. Although some of these materials are already online elsewhere, inclusion in the Libraries' digital asset management systems will allow greater visibility, navigability and cross-collection searching.
In support of the latter goal, we've been consulting the Libraries' curators and archivists to prioritize those materials that best support research and scholarship at the University. As far as supplementing digitization projects at other institutions, the Iowa Women's Archives may offer the lowest risk of duplication of effort. Its focus on women's history, including that of minority groups, documents a point of view that can be absent in many published works. The digitized audio, correspondence, images and printed ephemera in such IDL collections as African American Women in Iowa, Birkby , Noble Photographs, and Mujeres Latinas can help scholars to achieve a fuller understanding of the past.
The holdings of the University Archives serve as a hybrid to promote both these goals. Digital image collections like Calvin Photographs and Iowa City Town and Campus Scenes will soon be joined by in-progress digital collections of The Daily Iowan and The Hawkeye. These works created by UI faculty and students help to document over 100 years of Iowa history.
By making these materials more readily available online, DLS seeks to enable new scholarship that builds both on primary documents held by and on secondary documents generated at the University. In this way, we hope to ensure the UI's place in the digital "universal library" of the future.

A few belated thoughts on Robin Williams.
After he died, I wrote on Twitter that I thought some of the huge outpouring of emotion had to do with a collective feeling of guilt.
What I was referring to was not a new idea, of course. It was neatly summarized a few years ago by the great Internet cartoonist Nicholas Gurewitch, in his brilliant "Perry Bible Fellowship." Here it is. As I recall, Gurewitch made it his last strip before going on an extended hiatus from which he never fully returned , so it had profound personal meaning as well. (And there was no Alec Lourmier; it seems to be an anagram for "I'm a cruel role...". )
"Tears of a clown" is a cliche of dreadful art, of course, and it is also the subject of an old parable made famous by Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen, and recently quoted ad nauseam about Robin Williams: "Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown, Pagliacci, is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor, I am Pagliacci.' "
Many years ago, I met the brilliant comedian Richard Jeni, who was a friend of Dave Barry's, and who first told Dave the incredibly wonderful motorcycle joke, which I once auctioned off secretly as the Greatest Joke Ever Told, and which I told in the intro to a chat many years ago.
Rich Jeni took his own life in startling, terrible way, which you can read about here.
(His suicide reminds me that, intentional or not, whether driven by despair and/or insanity or even cold logic, suicide is always, in part, a hostile act. Look what he did to his girlfriend.)
I want to give the penultimate word here to a reader, Bob Madden, who wrote to me the other day. It's the best thing I've seen about all this:
I don't disagree with your tweet about Robin Williams, our complicity and the outpouring of emotion. And I do believe that the Pagliacci effect is at play. But I think that for some people there is something more.
At the beginning of his career, Robin Williams was very attention seeking, or at least came across as such. Why else would he be as zany as he was? There always seemed to be a level of insecurity behind the brilliance. It made us able to relate to him in a way despite his one-of-a-kind talent. As his career progressed, in several of his better known movie roles (Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, and Awakenings) he is seeking or helping others seek the meaning in life. He spoke or gained the wisdom many of us ourselves are seeking throughout our lives. And then he turned in very nuanced and gifted performances in One Hour Photo and World's Greatest Dad. He had transformed completely from zany comic into a skillful thespian who completely gave himself to his roles. He reinvented himself; something many people wish they could do.
His struggles were our struggles. His wisdom was our wisdom. The intersections between the man, his roles, and his career were blurry ones. And then for him to take his life. For the struggles and the wisdom to end in suicide. What does that mean? What are we to take from that? Yes, all life ends in death, but to have the man who made a career out of seeking life choose death goes much deeper than the a joke about a depressed clown.
I think that states it beautifully, and it reminds me of one of my favorite moments from one of my favorite movies, the dreadfully unappreciated "Crimes and Misdemeanors," by Woody Allen.
In the movie, Woody is making a movie, and has found an old Jewish man, Dr. Levy, a philosopher who seems as close as anyone to actually understanding life. Here's a clip of Dr. Levy.
Toward the end of Crimes and Misdemeanors, Woody gets the startling news that Dr. Levy has killed himself by jumping out a window. Horrified, aghast, desperate to make some sense of this, he asks if Dr. Levy left any note. He had. The note said "I am going out the window."
See you next week.

Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus cause most vulvovaginal infections seen in prepubertal girls. Bacterial vaginosis is a common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age but is rare in children. Data are insufficient to suggest that bacterial vaginosis is an exclusively sexually transmitted disease. We report a 10-year-old girl with no history or suspicion of sexual abuse who developed bacterial vaginosis in the context of a lichen sclerosus being treated with tacrolimus ointment. Secondary bacterial infection in lichen sclerosus is uncommon. We speculate that the immunosuppressive effect of topical tacrolimus could have triggered the infection.

No Doubt returns with 'Settle Down'
Hey baby, hey baby, hey! No Doubt is back with "Settle Down," the first single from "Push and Shove," the band's first album in 11 years.
"Settle," which debuted online and went on sale at iTunes on Monday, nicely balances the band's ska roots with Gwen Stefani's poppier persona to create a sweet summer jam that still pushes the envelope oh-so-slightly. (The album version, extended to a hefty six-minutes-plus, even has a cool dub-influenced outro that offers a bit more edge.)
Produced by Spike Stent, the chorus is a staccato mix of percussive words and clattering drums that is immediately catchy. But it's the pre-chorus, where Stefani declares, "I'm hella positive, for real, I'm all good," that proves most irresistible. While No Doubt has been away so long that it's easy to forget their impact, it sure is nice to have them back.

Sitting on #ShutItDown and Solidarity with Ferguson
I'm sitting in my home in Oakland, California, meditating as police helicopters fly overhead. I am not at the protests demanding justice for Mike Brown, even though I live only a few minutes from where they are taking place. I am sitting because I want badly to be at the protests. I observe the alternating feelings of a bursting heart, a leaden body and a skiddish mind. My legs are restless and my right cal ...Read more ›
