Preferred Citation Los Angeles Railway Corporation Photographs. The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Donated to the Huntington Library by Edwin L. Lewis, June 1939. The collection includes a number of manuscripts and scrapbooks, which are in the custody of the Manuscripts Department. Processing Information The collection was rehoused in 2005 by Jessica Gambling, which included sleeving all photographs and preservation photocopying clippings. Duplicate photographs (some are contemporary to the collection, others are copy photographs) have new numbers based on the existing system (e.g., 75a, 75b, 75c, etc.). Original clippings are in boxes 21 and 22; preservation photocopies of these clippings have been inserted into the original locations within the collection. This finding aid was created in January 2006 by Sue Luftschein. Historical Note The Los Angeles Railway Corporation (LARy) was the product of mergers and consolidations of numerous local and interurban railways in Los Angeles and adjacent communities. In 1910, Henry E. Huntington yielded his interests in the Pacific Electric Company to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, which subsequently controlled the interurban lines, and he incorporated the Los Angeles Railway Company and other railway interests to form the Los Angeles Railway Corporation, which operated the Los Angeles city lines. This collection was compiled by Edwin L. Lewis (died 1943), who began working for the Los Angeles Cable Railway Company in 1888. Lewis became vice-president and manager of the Los Angeles Railway Land Company and manager of the Los Angeles Railway Building in 1921. He retired in 1939. Lewis collected the material as background information for his proposed book on the railway systems of Los Angeles. The two-volume history was never published, but exists in manuscript form and is housed in the Huntington's Manuscript Department. Scope and Contents The collection consists of 1165 black-and-white photographs, 97 glass negatives, clippings, correspondence, manuscripts, notes, a card file, and a ledger book related to the Los Angeles Railway, 1851-1939, collected and created by Edwin L. Lewis, a longtime employee of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation (LARy). The collection provides a broad pictorial Los Angeles Railway Corporation photCL 58 2 Collection of Photographs: Finding Aid overview of the development of the railway systems in Los Angeles, California in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as information on the physical development of the city itself. Lewis began collecting the photographs and related clippings and correspondence as background information for his history of the railway systems of Los Angeles. The materials depict and describe views of Los Angeles, primarily downtown, but also some of the neighborhoods that grew as a result of the construction of the street car system; methods and modes of transportation and transportation-related subjects, primarily with regard to the Los Angeles Railway; and employees of the Railway and of the Los Angeles business community, and individuals who were in some way connected with the development of the railroad in Southern California. The collection is particularly strong in city scenes and panoramic views, primarily of downtown Los Angeles. These include "then and now" comparisons of various Los Angeles neighborhoods; business districts; hotels; city halls; school buildings; commercial and industrial buildings; post office buildings; churches; hospitals; holiday celebrations; and outlying areas (such as Catalina Island and San Diego). The transportation images include, but are not limited to, views of the railway; railway, street and cable cars; stations and station locations; and maps of rail lines. Also included are images of bicycles, carriages, and automobiles. The material related to individuals consists of biographical files and includes biographical sketches, notes on interviews conducted by Lewis, and/or correspondence, and describes LARy and other railroad employees, individuals who worked in industries connected with transportation, and business leaders in Southern California. The interviews are essentially oral histories, and provide a great deal of information on the development of both the railways in Los Angeles and the development of the city itself. The photographs included in the biographical files are portraits. The majority of the photographs are annotated on the reverse with location information, a short description, and/or identification of individuals. Some images include annotations on the front. Many of the photographs have clippings taped to the reverse. Some of the photographs exist in duplicate form; however, many of the duplicates are annotated with information not found on the original copy. Some photographs are missing. Arrangement The original arrangement of the collection is numerical (see the Container List), based on Lewis's numbering scheme. Each photograph is inscribed with a number that corresponds to the numbers in Lewis’s original ledger (located in box 21). The collection remains in numerical order, and is described at the folder level. Lewis also created a card file (box 27) arranged by subject, which was used to describe and access specific photographs. Item-level access is available through this card file in consultation with the Curator of Photographs. Every attempt has been made to be as inclusive as possible in the description of the folder contents; however, some folders contain images that span two or more subjects. In addition to photographs, each folder may contain correspondence, clippings and/or notes, and their presence is noted. The biographical files contain primarily textual materials; if photographs are present, they are noted. The collection has also been intellectually described in four broad subject areas in the Subject List following the Container List: Views of Los Angeles and vicinity; Transportation; Individuals; and Miscellaneous. Within the Views of Los Angeles, Transportation, and Miscellaneous subject areas, the arrangement is numerical. The individuals are listed alphabetically. The majority of the clippings and printed materials included with the photographs are preservation photocopies. • Records of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation (mssLos Angeles Railway records) Index Terms The following terms have been used to index the description of this collection in the Huntington Library's Online Catalog.

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.

  • Vergara V. State of California: a Political Analysis and Implications for Principal Practice
    Vergara v. State of California: A Political Analysis and Implications for Principal Practice This manuscript has been peer-reviewed, accepted, and endorsed by the National Council of Professors of Educational Administration as a significant contribution to the scholarship and practice of school administration and K-12 education. Lolita A. Tabron Texas A&M University Beverly J. Irby Texas A&M University This political analysis uses the Vergara case as an example of how principals can be dynamic leaders who are well prepared for and engaged in their political terrain. This will be important to decrease judicial dependency and legislative interference to better ensure that reform begins with those closest to the problem. NCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 16, No. 1– April, 2015 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2015 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration 31 Introduction Public schools have moved at a glacial pace to reform the existing system to one that is responsive to a nation whose students have become increasingly more diverse (Cohen, Moffitt, & Goldin, 2007; Plank & Davis, 2010). Indeed, it seems the public education system has insulated itself and become reluctant to change. At least four waves of education reform have been directed towards the United States public education system with little change in performance gaps among racially diverse students (Boyd, 2010; Gay, 2009). As a result, third party criticisms (businesses, teacher unions, taxpayers) have created a space for the government to intervene (Plank & Davis). The 2012 the Vergara v. State of California case became a prime example of how a tug of war between political actors led to government intervention.

  • 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.

  • Connecting Altera 3.3-V PCI Devices to a 5-V PCI Bus
    Connecting Altera 3.3-V PCI devices to a 5-V PCI Bus February 2004, Version 1.0 Application Note 330 Introduction Since its introduction in 1992, PCI Local Bus has become the most widely implemented expansion bus standard in the world. The PCI Local Bus is a high performance 32-bit or 64-bit bus with multiplexed address and data lines. The bus is intended for use as an interconnect mechanism between peripheral controller components, peripheral add-in cards, and processor/memory systems. The PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.3, specifies both the 3.3 V and 5 V signaling requirements although 5 V only keyed cards are not allowed. With ever shrinking process technologies and associated voltages, it is becoming difficult for silicon suppliers to support 5 V signaling requirements. Altera's Stratix™, Stratix II, Stratix GX and Cyclone™ devices support the 3.3 V PCI signaling requirements. This application note describes how to connect Altera's 3.3 V PCI devices to a 5 V PCI bus by using bus switches. The application note addresses the following topics: ■ Bus switches overview ■ Implementation ■ PCI considerations. Bus Switches Each bus switch consists of an N channel MOS transistor driven by a Overview CMOS logic gate, as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Bus Switch Block Diagram Input/Output Output/Input Vg On/Off 0V/VCC Altera Corporation 1 AN-330-1.0 Preliminary Implementation The switch is enabled when the gate-to-source voltage (Vg) exceeds 1 V. As the input voltage rises, the resistance of the switch also rises and the output voltage also rises.
