Queen Quet (Georgia Sea Islands)
Queen Quet Marquetta L. Goodwine is a singer/vocalist, author, computer scientist, lecturer, and cultural historian. She is the founder of the premiere advocacy organization for the continuation of Gullah/Geechee culture, the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition. Queen Quet was the first Gullah/Geechee person to speak on behalf of her people before the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland and was also one of the first of seven inductees in the Gullah/Geechee Nation Hall of Fame. In 2008, she was recorded at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France, at a United Nations Conference in order to have the human rights story of the Gullah/Geechee people archived for the United Nations. She worked with US Congressman James Clyburn to ensure that the United States Congress would work to assist the Gullah/Geechees. Queen Quet then acted as the community leader to work with the United States National Park Service to conduct several meetings throughout the Gullah/Geechee Nation for the Special Resource Study of Lowcountry Gullah Culture. Due to the fact that Gullah/Geechees worked to become recognized as one people, Queen Quet wanted to ensure that the future congressional act would reflect this in its name and form. As a result in 2006 the “Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Act” was passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by the president. Queen Quet has appeared in numerous documentaries and films, and in print and other media. She uses her voice and vocal performances as healing arts.

The Herman B Wells Library at Indiana University has been digitizing its collection of Soviet Military Topographic maps from 1880 to the 1940s. These maps were created by the Soviet Military for internal intelligence purposes and classified as top secret. During World War II, some sheets were captured by German forces and were later captured by the U.S. Military. These maps bear stamps from Nazi Germany and are marked ‰ÛÃcaptured map.‰Û After the fall of the Soviet Union, many more maps made their way to libraries across the United States, including the library at Indiana University.
Previously, in order for a user to find these topographic maps, he or she must be able to read an old and unclear index map to determine the appropriate sheet. This is especially vexing in the case of Eastern Europe, where borders and place names changed frequently in the early 20th Century. Based on a framework created by Christopher Thiry at the Colorado School of Mines, I used GIS to create an online, interactive index for this map set. The index allows for searching, panning, and zooming in a familiar online map environment. Eventually, all of the digitized maps will be linked to the interactive index and included in a collaborative index project hosted on ArcGIS Online with the goal of facilitating user interaction and of preserving the maps in this digitized environment.

A particular challenge in the text recognition of historical document images is the considerable amount of "image noise" that can arise during the whole life cycle of a document from printing and storage to the usage and scanning of the document. Historical documents suffer from several different kinds of noise such as geometric distortions, bleed-through, textured papers, stamp, stain, and so forth. Noise will affect and complicate the different stages of document image analysis including enhancement, segmentation, layout analysis and recognition. This talk will cover the description of different stages of document image analysis and challenges and opportunities in image processing and analysis of historical documents. I will particularly explain about the software that I developed in the IMPACT project for correction of arbitrary geometric artefacts in historical documents. Such distortions appear as arbitrary warping, fold, and page curl and have detrimental effects on OCR and print-on-demand quality.
Nuclear magnet resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique to detect and characterize the 3D structures, dynamics, and interactions of biomacromolecules. With respect to drug targets, this methodology provides an excellent tool for the identification of small organic molecules that bind weakly to a target macromolecule as fragments of candidate inhibitors. In this presentation, Ratan K. Rai, PhD (Assistant Research Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Indiana University School of Medicine) explains the principles of NMR and its application as a tool for fragment-based drug discovery. Strategies to utilize this approach are described to identify and validate initial hits. The Chemical Genomics Core Facility is equipped with a 600 MHz solution NMR with cryo-probe for the structure elucidation of biomolecules and studies of ligand interactions.

Summary:
The poster will provide a roadmap of how to track and use alternative metrics (altmetrics) to provide evidence of attention or engagement of individual research outlets. Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics proposed as an alternative/complement to citation impact metrics. They provide information about the attention and influence of research of an article or publication and are based on interactions and conversations about scholarly content that occur online, mainly on social media platforms. One of the benefits of altmetrics is that they can accrue sooner than traditional metrics (citations) as they do not depend on the long process of conventional scholarly communication. Examples of altmetrics include mentions on Twitter, in news releases, in blogs, citations in policy documents, number of downloads, and more. As altmetrics are becoming more popular than ever in the evaluation of research, you can include them in your CV, grant proposal, personal website, and your promotion and tenure dossier. This poster shows useful sources and tools to track alternative metrics.

Since 1968, John Rappaport has brought laughter, fun and drama into the lives of the American public as a writer and producer of such all-time television classics as Laugh-In, All in the Family and M*A*S*H.
Born in Chicago and raised in Highland Park, Illinois, Rappaport enrolled at IU in fall 1958. He began as a business major, but switched to radio and television/psychology midway through his sophomore year after joining the Indiana Memorial Union Radio Club and hosting a Sunday night jazz record show on WTTS-AM.
As a junior, Rappaport continued his jazzy ways on the powerful WFIU-FM from IU’s Radio-TV Quonset hut. There, he hosted a daily afternoon show of jazz albums and improvised chatter. Rappaport also dabbled in standup comedy, performing at the “Freshman Tyrolean” dance and “Spring Fling” and serving as emcee during the two-day IU Sing competition at the IU Auditorium.
Rappaport had a pattern of making spontaneous life-altering decisions. After leaving IU in January 1963, he moved back to the Chicago area, where he worked as a pop — but not rock — DJ. Nine months later, at 3 a.m. after a New Year’s Eve party during a major snowstorm, he blew a tire on Chicago’s tri-state tollway and had to change it in a suit and no coat.
The next day, he quit his job and moved to California, hoping to be a DJ in a more agreeable climate.
Initially, only the climate was agreeable. After stints as an ad agency copywriter, radio station promotion manager, DJ’s comedy sidekick and syndicated radio comedy writer, Rappaport launched his new career in 1969 when his spec material landed him a staff writing gig on the No. 1 TV show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. He wrote for the show until its cancellation in 1973. During his four years there, he penned 100 episodes and also wrote two comedy specials, including the Emmy-nominated first Lily Tomlin Special.
Itching to break out of the sketch comedy mold, he landed a pitch meeting and then a script assignment at another No. 1-rated show, All in the Family. The script was a hit, and he was hired by Norman Lear as a staff story editor, splitting time between All in the Family and its sizzling spinoff, Maude.
He next moved to The Odd Couple and eventually the legendary war dramedy, M*A*S*H, where he served as head writer and supervising producer for its final four years, topped off with the two-and-a-half hour finale, which was the most viewed episode in television history.
Rappaport also wrote and produced seven pilots for his company, Leeway Productions (named after his wife, Lee) and worked on films featuring screen legends Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds, and The Godfather producer Al Ruddy. He also spent a season on Night Court and was the executive producer of Gung Ho.
Along the way, Rappaport garnered eight primetime Emmy nominations, four People’s Choice Awards, five Writers Guild Best Script award nominations, three Humanitas Prizes and a Golden Globe. He also served on the Producers Guild of America Board of Directors for 14 years and is in the National Association of Broadcasters and the Producers Guild of America halls of fame.
To top it all off, two of his three L.A.-born and -raised children are graduates and devoted lovers of IU.

This talk, based on Jackendoff's forthcoming book A User's Guide to Thought and Meaning, explores the experience of thought as inner speech, the Joycean stream of consciousness. The paradox is that thinking cannot be dependent on language, since (a) the same thought can be expressed in different languages, and (b) nonlinguistic organisms such as apes and babies do manage to think. He makes the case that thought itself is mostly unconscious, and that the conscious experience of inner speech is determined largely by the handles provided by the pronunciation linked to the thought.
In addition, Professor Jackendoff will show that it is impossible to achieve the ideal of rational thinking, in which every step of reasoning is explicit, because the logical connections among statements ultimately rest on an intuitive (i.e. unconscious) judgment of conviction. He suggests that, nevertheless, the handles on thought provided by language enhance thought in important ways, and that a better ideal involves sensitivity to an appropriate balance between linguistically expressed rational reasoning and intuitive judgment.
Eleven-year-old children have a pretty good idea of how baseball works. Yet, as Ray Jackendoff will show, the concepts involved in baseball are remarkably complex and subtle. So the question is: What cognitive resources do children bring to the task of learning baseball, such that they manage to understand it so readily? Professor Jackendoff will examine seven aspects of the understanding of baseball, in each case looking for its place in the larger ecology of human cognition. These aspects include: cooperation and competition; rules of the game and strategies; balls, strikes, runs, and outs; taking roles (such as pitcher and umpire) within the frame of the game; the logic of groups, including teams; how humans make up new systems such as games; and why humans like games, both as players and spectators.

Rebecca Wingo, Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities
Summary:
Community engagement in the digital realm is always a careful balance between giving community members control of their own history and bringing academic expertise into the community. That balance isn't always the same from project to project. Dr. Wingo will draw on her experiences with two similar projects that had very different outcomes: an amazing community-led project to build the history of Rondo with the African American community in St. Paul Minnesota, and a community history project with the Crow tribe in Montana that has so far failed to get off the ground. She'll then walk the audience through best practices for thoughtful, considerate digital community engagement that acknowledge and privilege local community goals.

While a Soviet exchange student at Columbia University in 1929-1931, Averkieva accompanied Boas in fieldwork among the Kwakiutl people of British Columbia. Phinney, a Nez Perce Indian, taught and conducted research at the Leningrad Academy of Sciences from 1932 to 1937, serving for many years as a field agent in the Bureau of Indian Affairs upon his return to the United States.
Craig Campbell, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Texas at Austin.The Lower Tunguska—a tributary in Siberia that flows into the great Yenisei river—was identified several decades ago as a potential site for a massive hydroelectric dam. If the dam were to be built, it would dramatically transform the river and dislocate thousands of people who live in the flood zone. To this day the dam has not been built, as a result, an entire generation of villagers has had to learn to dwell in the suspended temporality of a deferred catastrophe. Regardless of the construction, drift, and crash of industrial projects, indigenous Evenkis in the area have maintained and adapted their traditional lifeways under dramatically different forms of government and social life. The indeterminacies of future of events—especially catastrophe and planned landscape transformation on grand industrial scales—challenge Evenkis to adapt in a chaotic world and call upon scholars to attend to the entanglements of hope, dread, and anticipation.Craig Campbell’s second book, Agitating Images: Photography Against History in Indigenous Siberiawas published by the University of Minnesota Press in the fall of 2014. He is currently working on the cultural history of an unbuilt hydro-electric dam in Central Siberia, the weird time of a shadow, re-mediations of socialist encounters, and the aesthetics of damaged, degraded, and manipulated photographs. Craig is a member several curatorial groups including Ethnographic Terminalia and Writing with Light, the later explores the persistent mattering of photography and photo-essays to cultural anthropology.

A cartoon wakes up to an alarm gets dressed and ready for work. Goes down the stairs and kisses his children and wife before zooming off in a car. She tells the audience he's been this way since they got the Renault Dauphine. We end with him zooming further away in his car. They have a moderated version of Orpheus's Cancan in the background of the ad.
