And yet, as difficult as the past year has been, it also allowed us to put on full display the sense of community that makes Rialto such an extraordinary city. Our strength and perseverance. Our concern and support for one another. Our willingness and ability to adapt to a new reality. Together we’ve endured a pandemic, an economic crisis, and more – and as we look ahead to a new year, we do so with a sense of resolve and confidence that comes with being part of a city with so much going for it. The challenges in front of us remain formidable and require our continued vigilance. Simple steps like wearing a mask, avoiding crowds and maintaining social distancing can make a huge difference in terms of getting COVID-19 behind us and returning to the normalcy we all crave. As we do, we have much to look forward to. Rialto remains one of the fastest-growing population and economic centers in Southern California. Our commercial and retail growth has been explosive, creating jobs, providing tax dollars to support essential city services and ensuring that Rialto remains a pre-eminent place to live, work and play. We’re also an innovation center, and have much to share about continuing public safety improvements, the amazing technology at our wastewater facility and the reinvestment of dollars into our local infrastructure. We’re able to do this, of course, because of you and your continued support for your community and your city. With that, we encourage you to remain engaged – to let us know what you think, to check in on City Council meetings, and to safely support our community where you can. Things will return to normal, rest assured, and when they do, Rialto will be stronger than ever. The turn of the calendar is an important early step; farewell 2020, welcome 2021! Thank you for making us a shining example for other communities to follow.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 18–956. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided April 5, 2021 Oracle America, Inc., owns a copyright in Java SE, a computer platform that uses the popular Java computer programming language. In 2005, Google acquired Android and sought to build a new software platform for mobile devices. To allow the millions of programmers familiar with the Java programming language to work with its new Android plat- form, Google copied roughly 11,500 lines of code from the Java SE pro- gram. The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Pro- gramming Interface (API). An API allows programmers to call upon prewritten computing tasks for use in their own programs. Over the course of protracted litigation, the lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the copied lines from the API, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying constituted a permissible “fair use” of that material freeing Google from copyright liability. In the proceedings below, the Federal Circuit held that the copied lines are copyrightable.

  • The Neighborly Substation the Neighborly Substation Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design
    MANHATTAN INSTITUTE CENTER FORTHE RETHINKING DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Hope Cohen 2008 er B ecem D THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design Hope Cohen Deputy Director Center for Rethinking Development Manhattan Institute In 1879, the remarkable thing about Edison’s new lightbulb was that it didn’t burst into flames as soon as it was lit. That disposed of the first key problem of the electrical age: how to confine and tame electricity to the point where it could be usefully integrated into offices, homes, and every corner of daily life. Edison then designed and built six twenty-seven-ton, hundred-kilowatt “Jumbo” Engine-Driven Dynamos, deployed them in lower Manhattan, and the rest is history. “We will make electric light so cheap,” Edison promised, “that only the rich will be able to burn candles.” There was more taming to come first, however. An electrical fire caused by faulty wiring seriously FOREWORD damaged the library at one of Edison’s early installations—J. P. Morgan’s Madison Avenue brownstone. Fast-forward to the massive blackout of August 2003. Batteries and standby generators kicked in to keep trading alive on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. But the Amex failed to open—it had backup generators for the trading-floor computers but depended on Consolidated Edison to cool them, so that they wouldn’t melt into puddles of silicon. Banks kept their ATM-control computers running at their central offices, but most of the ATMs themselves went dead. Cell-phone service deteriorated fast, because soaring call volumes quickly drained the cell- tower backup batteries.

  • Federal Pacific Electric Circuit Breaker Replacement Alert

The breakers were produced for both commercial and residential applications. Issues As many as one million FPE with the breakers surfaced in 1980 with the FPE two-pole stab-lok Stab-Lok breakers currently circuit breaker that was found to jam while attempting to trip in an in use may fail to provide overcurrent scenario. proper fire protection. The primary issue with these type of breakers includes failing to trip at 135% and 200% of rated current (1). Additionally, the double pole breakers are found to mechanically jam. This means that a commercial or residential structure with these breaker panels has a probability of not functioning as needed when a circuit is “overloaded”. A comparison may be made to replacing a blown Edison type fuse with a slug or penny, effectively overriding the protection necessary for an electric circuit. Testing of FPE stab-lok circuit breakers was conducted by multiple companies in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. They included FPE (and its parent company, Reliance Electric), Southwest Research Incorporated, Underwriters Laboratories, Consumer Product Safety Commission and Wright-Malta Corp. (for the CPSC). Only the CPSC/Wright-Malta test results were made public. Despite the CPSC findings that 85% of the double-pole breakers and 39% of the single-pole breakers failed one or more of the UL How To Identify an FPE Breaker test criteria at 200% of rated current (2), a press release was issued A Federal Pacific Electric panel will usually have its name or in 1983 stating that the CPSC was “unable at this time to link these logo on the front cover.
