There's No Such Thing As a Computer-Authored Work— and It's a Good
GRIMMELMANN, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A COMPUTER-AUTHORED WORK, 39 COLUM. J.L. & ARTS 403 (2016) There’s No Such Thing as a Computer-Authored Work— And It’s a Good Thing, Too* James Grimmelmann** INTRODUCTION I would like to talk about computer-authored works—I would like to, except that they don’t exist. Copyright law doesn’t recognize computer programs as authors, and it shouldn’t.1 Some day it might make sense to, but if that day ever comes, copyright will be the least of our concerns. Instead, I will say something about why computer authorship is such a “bad penny of a question,” to use Annemarie Bridy’s felicitous phrase, even though it is so utterly speculative.2 The scholarship pondering the possibility of computer- authored works is surprisingly extensive, even though no one has ever exhibited even one work that could plausibly claim to have a computer for an “author” in the sense that the Copyright Act uses the term.3 * This Essay is based on a talk that was given on October 2, 2015, at the Kernochan Center Annual Symposium at Columbia Law School. ** Professor of Law, University of Maryland. My thanks to Aislinn Black, Annemarie Bridy, Bruce Boyden, Timothy McGovern, Christina Spiesel, and the participants in the Kernochan Center Symposium “Copyright Outside the Box” for their suggestions.

The San Elijo Lagoon Double Track and Bridge Replacement Project
THE SAN ELIJO LAGOON DOUBLE TRACK AND BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT John P. Eschenbach Sr. Project Manager Jacobs Engineering, Inc. 401 B Street, Suite 1560 San Diego, CA 92101 (619) 321-0009 [email protected] Irfan Kalhoro, PE Construction Manager AECOM 999 W. Town & Country Orange, CA 92868 [email protected] NUMBER OF WORDS: 2,966 ABSTRACT The San Elijo Lagoon Double Track and Bridge Replacement Project (SELDT) is located in Encinitas, CA between MP 238.0, CP Swami and MP 242.2, CP Valley on the North County Transit District (NCTD) railroad and is a part of the Los Angeles to San Diego rail corridor (LOSSAN). The LOSSAN corridor is the second busiest rail corridor within the Amtrak system. NCTD operates Coaster commuter trains and hosts Amtrak’s Intercity Pacific Surfliner trains, as well as BNSF freight operations. The SELDT project adds 1.5 miles of class 5 second mainline track on the LOSSAN rail corridor between the cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach. The new track extends between Cardiff-by-the Sea (CP Cardiff) and the southern border of the San Elijo Lagoon, resulting in 4.2 miles of continuous double track. The existing single track timber bridge, built in 1945, was replaced with a new double track concrete bridge. The new concrete bridge is an 8-span precast pre-stressed box girder bridge supported on concrete pile caps. The bridge foundation consists of cast-in-steel shell (CISS) piles that reach up to 110’ deep within the lagoon channel. The construction of the foundation utilized a pile driving analyzer (PDA) to measure the nominal resistance in real time during the pile driving operation. -

4.16 Transportation
4.16 Transportation 4.16 TRANSPORTATION This section evaluates the transportation impacts of the proposed Plan. 4.16.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS The San Diego regional transportation system is a complex and expansive multimodal network that supports the demand for personal travel and is the backbone of the region’s economic base. The transportation network connects residents and visitors to places of employment, education, shopping, recreation, and residences. The transportation network is also essential for the movement of goods and continued economic development. The transportation system includes interstates and state highways, arterial roadways, local roadways, public transportation systems, nonmotorized transportation facilities, maritime and aviation facilities, and land ports of entry (POEs). The regional roadway system is an interconnected network of freeways, state highways, toll roads, arterial roadways, and local roadways. The roadway network allows for the movement of personal vehicles, micromobility transports, bicycles, buses, commercial vehicles, ride-share services, and heavy trucks. The regional public transit system includes local and regional bus operations, regional and interregional commuter rail services, and light rail service. The freight railroad network includes two freight rail corridors distributing cargo and goods services. Nonmotorized transportation facilities generally include walkways and bikeways. Often bikeway facilities such as bike routes, bike lanes, and cycle tracks are located within the roadway right-of-way. Shared facilities such as multi-use paths are generally not associated with a roadway facility. The airport system consists of commercial, general, and military aviation facilities serving passenger, freight, business, recreational, and military needs. Individual components of the regional transportation network are described in the following sections. -
