Iowa may be known for some of the world’s most fertile cropland, but in recent years, we’ve become fertile ground for rapid growth in information technology as well. From the recent “plug-in” of Google’s $600-million Council Bluffs data center to Microsoft’s planned half-billion-dollar West Des Moines expansion to IBM’s 1,300-job-creating expansion in Dubuque, technology leaders are finding Iowa a place to grow. And why not? Iowa has a supportive business climate and its infrastructure — physical and human — give our technology companies the competitive advantages that allow them to grow and prosper.

In the fall of 2007, a group of individuals representing a wide range of aspects of the wind industry gathered together and voted to establish the Iowa Wind Energy Association (IWEA). Now in its second year and operated out of Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville, our association’s increasing membership rolls parallel the phenomenal growth of the wind energyindustry in our state. IWEA has just concluded our second annual meeting which brought together a host of wind energy experts to share their knowledge and expertise. Attending were wind energy companies, wind developers, agricultural landowners, large- and small-scale wind farm producers, construction companies, energy companies, educators and students. This broad range of interests pursuing common goals has made the Iowa WindEnergy Association one of the largest state wind organizations in the nation.

These are exciting days in Iowa and the Upper Midwest—the preferred location for developing the green economy and the renewable energy industry. Forward looking policies of Governor Chet Culver, who has set a goal of making our state energy independent, and a ready response to new opportunities are moving Iowa forward in the vanguard of energy transformation. The adoption and consumption of alternative energy will continue to increase. We have succeeded where others are just beginning because we have the grain and crop residues that have made Iowa first in biofuels, sustained winds to get more of our electricity from wind than any other state, and research universities that are hotbeds of renewable energy innovation.

Informe sobre les X Jornades d'Arxivística de Catalunya: "Els arxivers com (ens) comuniquem?" (Terrassa, 19, 20 i 21 de maig de 2005)

Com ja és costum des de fa vint anys (1985-2005), pel maig l'Associació d'Arxivers de Catalunya (AAC) convoca els seus associats i la comunitat arxivística en general a les Jornades d'Arxivística de Catalunya. Enguany han estat les desenes i amb el títol "Els arxivers com (ens) comuniquem?" s'han dut a terme els dies 19, 20 i 21 de maig a la ciutat de Terrassa. L'objectiu de les X Jornades ha estat doble: en primer lloc, s'ha volgut reflexionar sobre les estratègies de què disposen els arxivers per fer difusió de la seva activitat professional ("com comuniquem") i a continuació s'ha produït el debat sobre la comunicació intraprofessional dels arxivers ("com ens comuniquem").

Que cache l'agenda caché [What is behind the hidden agenda?]

The physicians often forget to ask their patients if they would like to discuss other complaints or topics. It is sometimes quite difficult to explore the patient's complaints; while the physicians tend to focus on the immediate problem, the patients may have not only one, but several hidden agendas during a visit. In a caring relation there is a clear advantage to clarify the implicit. The search for the hidden agenda is to improve the care of i) biomedical problems ii) the social quest presented to the physicians. The sentence "Oh, by the way, doctor..." should not be only understood as an information but also as a relational expression and a reaction to the imminent separation from the physician.
