Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Announces Major Initiative

Today, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Adam R. Telle announced a major initiative, “Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork,” for the Army’s Civil Works program.

“Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork” will provide greater focus on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) core Civil Works missions, while minimizing non-core programs, direct funding to priority water resources projects that will provide the greatest benefits to the nation, shorten permitting timelines, and reduce or eliminate extraneous regulations and paperwork that slow USACE’s delivery of Civil Works projects and programs.

“President Trump has empowered his administration to work with lightspeed efficiency to make our government deliver more for all Americans. The Army Civil Works’ ‘Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork’ initiative will enable the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deliver critical projects and programs for the nation more efficiently, sooner, and at less cost than the current ways of doing business,” said Telle. “This will eliminate bureaucratic delays and provide fast, clear decisions needed to save lives and empower our economy.”

Can Event Venues in Philadelphia Reduce Chaos With Better Parking Control?

Crowds arriving for concerts, games, or conventions often face frustration before the doors even open. In Philadelphia, parking shortages and disorganized flow create ripple effects that stretch far beyond a lot or garage. Gridlocked entrances, absent signage, and overwhelmed attendants combine to slow traffic, sour moods, and weaken the experience before guests ever reach their seats.

When multiple events overlap across the city, the pressure only intensifies. Late arrivals disrupt programs, nearby streets stall, and staff are left scrambling. Solutions such as advance reservations, staggered entry times, clear drop-off lanes, and live lot updates bring order to the curb, turning parking from a liability into a coordinated extension of the event.

Tackling Traffic Bottlenecks Before Guests Arrive

Preparation ahead of an event directly shapes arrival behavior. Reserved lots and preassigned spaces stop drivers from circling aimlessly, while coordination with local authorities on no-parking zones keeps curbs available for drop-offs and buses. A digital map that highlights entrances, walking distances, and overflow areas helps visitors choose the right route before ever turning into traffic, making parking management in Philadelphia more predictable and less stressful.

America Loses If Washington Takes University Royalties

By Teri Willey

Universities may look like quiet enclaves of students and stately buildings, but their labs are some of the most productive engines of innovation in the country. The discoveries made there ripple far beyond campus — improving medical care, advancing national security, and launching entire industries.

That pathway from lab to marketplace exists because of an effective law: the Bayh-Dole Act.

Co-sponsored by former Indiana senator Birch Bayh and Robert Dole of Kansas, the law gives universities the ability — and aligns their interests with potential private sector partners — to protect and license inventions made with federal research funding. The results are all around us. Google’s search algorithm, key cryptocurrency technologies, and several breakthrough cancer medicines all trace back to federally-funded research.

Preserving Family Legacies Through Motion Using Image to Video AI

The preservation of personal history often relies on a collection of silent, frozen snapshots that struggle to convey the full depth of a lived experience. While high-quality photography captures the visual data of a moment, it cannot replicate the gentle sway of a childhood garden or the subtle expression of a loved one that occurred just before the shutter closed. By integrating Image to Video AI into the process of digital archiving, individuals can now transform these static relics into cinematic sequences. This transition from a fixed frame to a five-second dynamic memory allows for a more profound emotional connection, bridging the gap between historical records and modern digital storytelling.

The limitation of traditional archives is that they often feel distant and disconnected from the present. For those looking to honor their heritage, a flat image of an ancestor can feel like a cold historical artifact rather than a vibrant memory. This disconnect can make it difficult for younger generations to engage with their family history in a meaningful way. Generative technology provides a solution by acting as a bridge across time, allowing the software to interpret the depth and physics of an old photograph and simulate the life that was once there. This approach does not replace the original photo but enhances its ability to communicate a story to a contemporary audience.
