It has devastated American public health and economic stability, and its painful repercussions will be felt for years to come. As we shift from relief and recovery to rebuilding our economy, Congress is considering historic investments in our nation’s infrastructure, which forms the backbone or our economic prosperity. It is critical to ensure that federal investments in rebuilding our economy are made strategically and responsibly for a competitive 21st century economic landscape. One area that will reap returns in both the short and long-term is our nation’s energy infrastructure. Smart investments in this space mean deploying clean energy and energy efficient technologies here at home and ensuring cleantech of the future is designed and built in America by Americans. Clean energy and energy efficiency have been pillars of American industry. In early March 2020, over 3.2 million Americans worked in clean energy, more than any other energy sector.

  • 2020 Forest Action Plan
    Alabama’s Forest Road Map 2020 The Forest Action Plan of the Alabama Forestry Commission Est. 1924 Welcome from the state forester Rick Oates, State Forester t is interesting how time modifies your perspective. Ten years ago, while working for the Alabama Forestry Association, I was asked to provide feedback in the development of the 2010 Alabama Forest Action Plan, Forests at the Crossroads. At the time I did not fully understand the importance of the Forest Action Plan to our state’s forest resources. IFast forward ten years and I am now the State Forester of Alabama, with a much better understanding of what this doc- ument means to the state. I now have the responsibility of updating this important plan. As such, it is with pride that I offer the 2020 Alabama Forest Action Plan, Alabama’s Forest Roadmap as a guide for all forestry stakeholders to reference over the next decade. This guide will serve as a tool to help our state better understand and manage this amazing resource. Alabama is blessed with abundant forest resources – 23.1 million acres - which cover more than two-thirds of the state. These forests improve water and air quality, provide wildlife habitat, support a growing forest industry and help provide jobs across the state. Without these forests Alabama would be a very different place. As such, we want to see forests remain as working forests in order to continue to accrue these important benefits. That is not to say there are not challenges associ- ated with our forest resource, but the assessment and strategies discussed in this document will be instrumental in raising awareness, implementing solutions and taking a step towards achieving this goal.

    TRENDS & CONTROVERSIES A quantum leap for AI By Haym Hirsh Rutgers University [email protected] November 1994 saw the near-simultaneous publication of two papers that threw the notion of computing on its head. On November 11, 1994, a paper by Leonard Adleman appeared in Science demonstrating that a vial of DNA fragments can serve as a computer for solving instances of the Hamiltonian path problem. Less than two weeks later, Peter Shor Quantum computing and AI presented a paper in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the 35th Annual Symposium on Foundations Subhash Kak, Louisiana State University of Computer Science, demonstrating how a quantum computer could be used to factor large Every few years, we hear of a new tech- numbers in a tractable fashion.

    Materials Genome Initiative Leading to Economic Development of Alabama POC: Yogesh Vohra, Professor/Associate Dean; E-mail:[email protected]; Tel: (205) 934-6662 Problem to be addressed: The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) at the federal level is a multi-agency initiative designed to create a new era of policy, resources, and infrastructure that support US institutions in the effort to discover, manufacture, and deploy advanced materials twice as fast, at a fraction of cost. Even though this MGI federal initiative has been in existence since 2011, its impact on Alabama has been minimal. With the new synergies as outlined in this Grand Challenge concept paper, Alabama is now poised to reap benefits of MGI with its manufacturing, aerospace, national security, and healthcare enterprise. The reliability of computational approaches in predicting and designing materials combined with UAB’s and Georgia Tech’s expertise in materials synthesis and characterization, and existence of an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem has now created a new paradigm for achieving goals of MGI and launch new materials based industries in Alabama. This combination will also transition the State of Alabama to the forefront of emerging quantum technologies and computation, which utilize devices that control, detect, and process information through mechanisms relying on increasingly novel materials and operational paradigms. New materials science concepts and organizing principles are needed for developing the necessary new materials and for validating the theoretical

  • Quantum Leap: a Black Woman Uses Legal Education to Obtain Her Honorary White Pass Beverly I
    Quantum Leap: A Black Woman Uses Legal Education to Obtain Her Honorary White Pass Beverly I. Morant This symposium is dedicated to the reflections of black women law professors on their lives.' The dedication alone raises an issue-what unique thing do the handful of people who fall into this category have to offer that others do not? What possible purpose is served by devoting these pages to our reflections? As those who turn to these pages know, the question has sparked much controversy and a wide range of answers. Some would say that there is nothing unique in the black female voice, whether law professor or not. Others argue that the condition of being black, female and a teacher of law will create varied perspectives rather than a single mono- lith. Of course, there is always the "role model" view of any minority who has "made it" in America. In that view, the "disadvantaged" need the hope provided by seeing "one of their own" end up outside the gutter and the "advantaged" need some proof that their arrogance is (at least slightly) unfounded. Perhaps what we read in these pages is simply a celebration of American diversity. Each reader will answer the question for him- or herself. The answer I give in this piece is that, as a black female law profes- sor, my life has bridged an important gap in our society; and that, per- haps, the lessons I have learned will help a bit in relieving some of the tensions felt in law schools and in American society as a whole.

  • RACSO Motion Pictures Announces Next Project
    CONTACT: CHRISTOPHER ALLEN PRESS RELEASE 317.418.4841 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] RACSO Motion Pictures Announces Next Project INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – *Award Winning Filmmaker Christopher Allen has announced the title of his company’s next film production, a fan based effort to re-launch the popular “Quantum Leap” television series that ran on NBC from 1989 to 1993. Indianapolis based RACSO Motion Pictures is targeting 2008 as to when principal photography will begin. “Whenever people hear of a fan based effort, or fanfilm, they immediately think of a high school kid with mom and dad’s hand held video camera. This is clearly not the case.” said Allen from his studio in Carmel, Indiana. “My last fan effort (award winning Star Trek vs. Batman) opened more doors for my career than everything else prior to it. No one should underestimate the capability of what fan based films can do, if done professionally.” Allen will enlist a wide array of Indianapolis talent to help continue the story of Dr. Sam Beckett, who ironically is from a fictitious town in Indiana. Once completed, Allen hopes to use “Quantum Leap: A Leap to Di for” to persuade the science fiction broadcasting networks to re- launch the popular franchise. “I hope that the story is what will ensure the film’s acceptance by the fans. It centers on Dr. Beckett’s journey to 1997, where he is presented with the likelihood of saving the life of Princess Diana.” Allen said. “That one possibility is something I believe everyone can identify with.” Allen went on to add.

  • Or “Show Me Pictures of a Pup.”? | Whats Next
    1/10/2021 “How many ounces in a cup?” or “Show me pictures of a pup.”? | Whats Next What’s next Enterprise “How many ounces in a cup?” or “Show me pictures of a pup.”? In order for Conversational AI to work, Natural Language Understanding needs to see both context and the human condition. Ken Arakelian helps us understand what happens when speech technology only gets part of the picture. Ken Arakelian Posted December 6, 2018 1/5 1/10/2021 “How many ounces in a cup?” or “Show me pictures of a pup.”? | Whats Next Quantum Leap There was a TV show called “Quantum Leap” where Sam Beckett, a scientist, is trapped in a time travel experiment gone wrong and “leaps” into a different person’s body each week. Every episode starts with the moments after he leapt into the next body and he found himself in a funny (or dangerous) situation. Sam had to make a quick decision on how to get out of it; this is basically what happens when you say, “Alexa, how many ounces in a cup?” Alexa wakes up with little context and makes a split-second decision about the question you’re asking. What makes Alexa’s job harder than Sam Beckett’s is that Sam was a person and always leapt into a human body and Alexa doesn’t understand what it means to be human. Out of context Let’s leap into a situation and try to understand what we’re seeing when we only get a snippet out of context.
