The ACSA proudly announces that International Fellow Dr. Gurminder Singh has been appointed the director of the Geodesign Space Design and Telecommunications Institute. Dr. Singh, a former member of the Faculty at the Singapore Institute of Technology, and a founder of several renowned consultancies, will be directing activities in the area of advanced Space Platforms, and the adaptation of Space Technologies to terrestrial internets. Dr. Singh will also join the "Advanced Extra Terrestrial Communications" Project as a senior scientist. The aETc will be hosting visits by Native American representatives to visit the ongoing project site, where ancient communication methods will be studied and related to possible "ancient astronaut" theory.
John Norseen announced New
Semiotics and the Brain Research Coordinator and LAB Director. Succeeds
post left some time ago by Dr. Preuitt, moves from acting Director to full
Director. To head Speakers programs and on-line Semiotics Research
Sharing.
Affinity Program announces Record
usage of benefits programs.
ACSA announced that
after considerable evaluation of Portable Physical Transfer Media and Drives,
including the removable Hard Disk Drive, the Zip, the Imation SuperDisk
(LS-120), the Recordable CDROM, a Variety of Tape Drives, and other media,
that the IMATION SuperDisk (LS-120) turned out not only to be the most
practical, because of its unique 3.5" Floppy Drive Footprint and Media,
it provided backwards compatibility with older 3.5" Floppy Drives.
Accordingly, ACSA announced that it had decided to adopt the SuperDisk as a
medium for transmittal of papers, proposals, bids and responses, and other
physical transfers of electronic commerce and knowledge. The 120 MB
Capacity and easy ENCRYPTION of sensitive documents by the Imation SuperDisk
Software environment, along with its ready compatibility with Microsoft's
Popular Windows 95 and NT operating systems, were the final reasons: the
defacto standardization of desktop, deskside and server computing around
Windows operating systems, DEMANDED a physical document and image transmission
standard, and ACSA has decided that the only one worthy of consideration after
elimination of all alternatives for reason of various weaknesses, was the
SuperDisk.
ACSA is working with outside teams
of Space Science and Business personnel on a program that every grade school,
high school and college can adapt to the program of teaching children how to
learn, how to create working SPACE environments, and all about Aerospace,
Space Stations, NASA, the Space Program and how computer technology fits
in. Stay Tuned for MORE!
ACSA will ultimately be working with over a hundred specialized career guidance and placement assistance companies on this project. To enroll as a Career Guidance Provider, call ACSA at 908-272-3330. The Guide will feature educational, vocational and employment application counseling, and dozens of Career Placement Firms offering and recruiting for positions right on the Internet. Each will have to meet stringent ACSA requirements for ethics and integrity, and candidates will be assured they can seek further assistance from ACSA itself. Go to "Jobs and Careers" on the Home Page to enter into "the Guide", and remember: all those seeking career assistance from Providers, are also automatically registered as Members of the ACSA!!
Those wishing to submit materials for publication in the Living Project Articulum Library housed on the Internet, will be able to do so by clicking a "Submit Publication" link on the Home Page. This link will automatically accept cuts and pastes of documents in flat text, along with embedded links to graphic images submitters can include in their own Home Page elsewhere. Documents Submitted will be peer reviewed, and upon completion of the peer review cycle, will automatically be posted into the Library Articulum on the Web and on Compuserve/AOL. All submitters should forward a recent curriculum vitae which will be posted, in brief, with any publication accepted by Peer Review.
The ACSA has announced formal discounts available to members who wish to purchase Laptops or PCs/Workstations. The discount program is being underwritten by a grant from the American Computer Company. The American Computer Company has pledged it will also be donating a per centage of its profits each year to the ACSA to help ACSA's expansion and operations. The ACSA DCP is not applicable to purchases of computers used in a commercial business context, such as for a Corporate Lan or Internet Service Site, but may be used by individuals in expanding their personal career goals without any limitation.
The ACSA has received a
grant to distribute low cost personal computers to inner city schools where
needed, and a startup grant to fund the placement of educational computer
tools into the Juvenile Justice System (Juvenile Detention Centers) at no
cost. More information will be forthcoming shortly.

To assist young, recent
graduates and other members of the public in ther efforts to gain entry into
Computer Science professions and science or technology businesses in other
industries, ACSA recently adopted a memorandum to investigate the possible
formation of an outside fund that could make it feasible for qualified
individuals to obtain startup funding for small businesses. The program, aimed
at recent graduates and experienced experts alike, is intended for those with
qualified ideas for a successful product or service business who possess the
acumen and drive to achieve success in a reasonable period of time. The
possibility for such a funding program is presently being studied and outside
providers are being considered.
ACSA has found a suitable location for startup businesses in the technology fields, with available financing, available venture backing, and a well developed culture of technology exchange in the Central New Jersey corridor reasonably away from New York City, near technology mecca's like Bell Labs, Bellcore, Lucent Technologies, MCI Corporation, Lockheed-Martin, GE-Americom, Sarnoff Research Center, Stamford Research Center, dozens of other advanced technology laboratories and highly esteemed ivy league schools such as Princeton University, Rutgers University and others. Contact the ACSA Center in Cranford for further information. 908-272-3330.
Do you work for a National Laboratory? Then, you are automatically a member of ACSA! Write us for your free membership materials! The reciprocity/support program of ACSA supporting the communication oriented spirit of the ACSA, is intended to foster technology transport and information correspondence between the National Laboratories and the ACSA laboratory, in keeping with the incentives of the US Small Business Administration and the incentives of the National Science Foundation. ACSA is an NSF sponsor, and will accept matching "turnaround" grant applications from any party seeking funding from the NSF or the National Labs: ACSA then seeks matching "turnaround" funds from its "Grant Outsourcing" programs intended to increase the available funds to approved National and NSF programs (and those which are not approved, but which may be of interest to our Source List, anyway!). For more information, contact the Granting Office at ACSA!
