Youth unemployment has grown in prominence on national and global development agendas. In 2007, nearly 70 million young people were out of work. This figure climbed to 72.6 million by 2011. In 2012, young people made up more than 40% of the world's total unemployed population.
When faced with the youth unemployment crisis worldwide, citizens often turn to governments and experts for guidance and tend to overlook the critical role that youth themselves can play as a strong force for change and innovation. As unemployment continues to hurt the young generation, engaging youth in efforts to address unemployment challenges is more relevant and important than ever.
At a meeting with young professionals at the World Bank Group late last year, President Jim Yong Kim stressed the importance of including youth on the front lines of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. In response to his call, the youth communities at the World Bank Group are jointly launching a Youth Summit using a Development Case Competition as a platform for discussions and results.
The theme of this initiative is "Youth Entrepreneurship: Cultivating an Innovative Spirit to Alleviate Global Youth Unemployment."
Under this common theme, young people around the world will form teams and participate in a Development Case Competition online. The four cases posed in the competition highlight real-life unemployment issues facing governments and development organizations and are focused on three areas: education, youth employment, and millennial communications. Innovations in these areas will help boost job creation and youth entrepreneurship.
From now to Sept. 8, people between the ages of 18 and 35 are invited to submit proposals that introduce socially innovative solutions to the challenges described in the cases. Award prizes vary by case and may include cash prizes and a chance to personally present your proposal to the implementing partner.
The World Bank Group's first Youth Summit is scheduled for October 23, 2013 in Washington D.C. The day-long Summit will feature panel discussions on topics related to challenges of youth unemployment by notable experts from the development community and will provide a forum for young people from around the globe to share innovative ideas and development solutions that help create opportunities for employment.
Youth unemployment cannot be solved by governments and experts alone. We believe that, by giving the youth a voice, the young generation can be empowered and transformed from potential victims of unemployment into active agents who offer solutions, promote actions, and inspire real change."

Only the creative project for Youth Employment through the " Global - Youth Bond " which taken initiative / advised to all of international bodies.
Global Youth Bond, the only
Global Youth Bond, the only solution to create more projects and initiatives for youth employment globally, erasing unemployment !
This initiative by and for
This initiative by and for youth is timely. I am over 50 years, not a youth but I wish to give a suggestion if I may. In many countries, there are many abandoned buildings left uncompleted or empty. These buildings should be renovated and repaired by the youth groups and let out as low cost housing or dorms or shelters for the needy or even schools and skills training centres. Just for a start to community development. Thank You.
Very noble thought.... I
Very noble thought.... I liked your idea, I wish world has more people like you... :-)
Very cool initiative. I
Very cool initiative. I really look forward to the results.
This is a very unique venture
This is a very unique venture to at least help create a self-reliant world youth population.
On behalf of the Kholifa Rowalla Youth Committee (KoRYoC)Northern Sierra Leone, I want to register our interest in this program- the Secretary General
Since we are talking of youth
Since we are talking of youth unemployment, with no doubt, governments of different nations of the world has failed to impliment youth friendly policies to address this. But I still insist that we the youths should create solutions to our problems. We must initiate independent researches, develop business ideas and impliment creative innovations that will draw the attention of our government. It may interest you all to know that we are not demoralized, we are toiling and pushing to achieve, our occassional wide dreams, realms of paradise beyound the compass of our daily real existence. My proposal will come soon. Cheers Ugwuja George Odinakachi
Decrease the rate of income
Decrease the rate of income tax for the over 50's to about 7.5%, to those who are on a wage of £11,000 - £17,000, which is a lot of the public sector workers. This way the lower income earners can save for retirement and then the retirement age can be decreased to about 60 years old. At the same time introduce more schemes to help the youth. As a result, when people retire earlier, the youth can come through at the same time, creating jobs for the younger generation. Then as the older generation are saving for retirement, they should be allocated a separate ISA or Currnet accounts where the interest rate is higher,say about 5%, this way benefits can be cut, because the money the older generation have saved in the last 10years will last them longer. In other words they can live off the interest. With the benifits being cut, the income tax off other workers could be used to generate better schemes for youth progression. Now the older generation have been sorted, this leaves opportunities for the younger generation, as businesses will need new talent, the youth unemployment rate will decrease. Creating a constant flow of youth development and a new era for talent on a global scale.
To reduce the youth
To reduce the youth unemployment rate to encourage employers we need make tax refund in the amount of 80% of the wage of the employee under the age of 25 years. At the same time set limits on age groups: 14-16 years - 10 hours a week, not less than 20 euros per hour, 17-19 years - 15 hours a week, not less than 25 euros per hour, 20-22 years - 20 hours per week, not less than 30 euros per hour 23-25 years - 30 hours a week, not less than 35 euros per hour. In addition, it is necessary for schools and universities provide students 1 - 2 free days for work.

The idea is to have a
The idea is to have a platform where offer and demand can be matched.
1. we need a central and independent office to propose a secure and private self declaration form where people can state their centers of interests and capabilities. Such a detailed user profile is mandatory anyway if we want to be able to mach offer with demand. Moreover, this could improve Digital Marketing and people could obtain customized online published content as they want it.
2. we need a platform where people can declare their availability (tee time reservation) and get notified when an action/activity/job matching their skills and interests is posted.
3. we need organizations to work project-oriented in order to propose formalized 'tasks/deliverables' and publish them on the platform. Why not extend the service to private individuals to get stuff locally done: e.g. need someone to take the dog for a walk
4. we need a new financial model and commoditize these services. This way we allow people to get acknowledged for their social contribution.
I'd be glad to share more if you agree that people should get rewarded for their contributions. This way people can engage in activities that make sense for them. On the other hand, more needs could be met because individuals could ask for a service without worrying about the money. There must be a collaboration with eGovernment platforms (tax process improvement). In a good and fair model, if I help someone in a professional way (due diligence) and the activity develops a skill, I should also automatically obtain ECTS credits to get my new skills validated without having to be part of a educational network nor an university.
I'd love to further develop the idea with you guys.
Thanks to all who are helping to push the anti-dirty-capitalisme reform forward.
It is really interesting, I
It is really interesting, I will let myself to learn and submit the propasal.
Introduce significant tax
Introduce significant tax cuts for businesses that offer a standard wage of $2.50 but place a 20% gratuity charge for the server/employee on each individual sale. That will negate the cost of wages,( the key deterrent in hiring more employees) allowing expenses to be used elsewhere and the employee will significantly benefit as they will earn beneficial skills - obviously it isn't applicable in every field but it will certainly cut the unemployment rates for unskilled and the adolescent young adult bracket - a potential knock on effect would be adolescents could afford to fund degrees and diplomas -
avoid by all means developing incentives for the unemployed to join the public work force as it would lure uneducated unqualified labour and only be a short term solution
I am not really sure if this is how one applies to this but there's my suggestion anyway.
From our region, as Pacific
From our region, as Pacific Islands specifically in Tonga, projects should be based on employment oriented in terms of cultivating young people into an initiative of making employment opportunity to its maximized level, therefore the local resources would be an advantage in making handicrafts out of it, while there are opportunities but of course of the mindset, it should be empower young people into making ventures in the programs that will foster attitude change against the mindset of white collar employment jobs instead of engaging them into greener environment such as making agriculture as a viable option to address unemployment such as our project on VCO project adhere4d to engage youth into employment initiative. Also a friendly youth enabling environment such as law and policy that allows youth engagement and further their opportunity such as seasonal fruit picking in NZ and Australia...I hope this might help
Unemployment is sad that
Unemployment is sad that there are not only in my city, but in the world, I have a degree of communication, I have work experience yet companies do not hire me.
It's time to get up, to require, to seek, to this generation to make a real change, united, separated not do anything, no matter the city, the country, we want to move forward, not stay like this, we young, we profession,we dreamers , this is our moment.
I wanted to travel, worldwide hire me, be contacted, entrepreneurs believe in us, WE ARE THE FUTURE, WE ARE TODAY, let it forward.

Students in an introductory environmental studies course at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are playtesting a game on mobile devices to learn about sustainability on their campus.
The game, Sustainable U, features a time traveler who "shows players a bleak future for Madison unless they take action on environmental challenges," according to a university news release. To play, students pull up games, information or videos about sustainability topics by scanning a code on signs in campus buildings.
Designed with help from a Sustainability Innovation Research and Education grant from UW-Madison's Office of Sustainability, the goal of the game is to get students to see things in a new light.
"We want you to open your eyes and start seeing the things that may have gone unnoticed," said Sustainable U Designer David Gagnon as he introduced the app to a class, according to a news release.
Cathy Middlecamp, a professor in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies whose students are using the game in her class, worked with Gagnon, John Martin from the Mobile Learning Incubator and Nelson Institute grad students Travis Blomberg and Tim Lindstrom "to link the technology with hands-on learning to better engage students," according to information released by the university.
"To help students learn topics in environmental science, I wanted to utilize things that were right here on our campus," said Middlecamp, in a prepared statement.
"After the playtest, every student commented that they had seen something new; whether it was a feature they pass by every day or a building they had never visited," said Blomberg, in a news release.
Following the pilot, the game will be refined and made available to anyone on campus with a mobile device.
More information about Sustainability U is available at mobile.wisc.edu.

A Poet's Guide to Mandeland

Your bounty threatens me, Mandela, that taut
Drum skin of your heart on which our millions
When he lay ill, battling mortality, his life-long friend and comrade, pleaded with his countrymen and women, and indeed, the world: 'it is time to let him go'.
How wrong he was! The world is in no hurry to let Mandela go. And so we hoist him suspended across that invisible realm where avatars reside. Some have even named him a Messiah come through the prison gates—no, the world does not need a Messiah and, in any case, the very notion was anathema to him. Let it suffice to think of him as something of a miracle, add him to a modest pantheon of rare species, makers of new histories, bearers of new visions. Mandela was a pointer to possibilities of a transformed humanity, one of a sparse breed who offer a glimpse of the depthless fount of universal compassion.
That is more than sufficient to celebrate, more than sufficient to keep alive, refreshing his unique, boundless presence in unknown places—across race, faith, and politics. It is that Nature preserve of his passage, stretching now into the ancestral realm, that I have designated—Mandeland—a vast, accommodating parkland for all seasons. There, all the songs and dances of the world congregate.
The poems in this recording--a personal choice—attempt to explore the contours of that estateóperhaps I have taken refuge in the safety of 'landscape' as opposed to the being himself, to avoid attracting the umbrage of a friend and young confidant of Madiba, whose letter complained:
In the tedious and unimaginative narrative of an "icon" (urgh) the human being has been lost.
If this effort is still guilty of the charge, I know we can count of Mandelaís own magnanimity and understanding. The compilation is from a reading that I did, not long after Mandela took his final leave. Hundreds have traced the geography of that giant presence in their own lyrical modes, so this is just another tribute, a private message, shared by a few guests. I was not present at his funeral, so it serves as a farewell to a cherished elder, and pointer. The last word should not belong to my instinctive lament that was provoked by news of his departure, though of course those (adapted) words remain sadly true, and reproachful:
"The soul of Africa has departed, and there is nothing left miraculous in the whole, wide, world."

Wole Soyinka was born on 13 July 1934 at Abeokuta, near Ibadan in western Nigeria. After preparatory university studies in 1954 at Government College in Ibadan, he continued at the University of Leeds, where, later in 1973, he took his doctorate. During the six years spent in England, he was a dramaturgist at the Royal Court Theatre in London 1958-1959. In 1960, he was awarded a Rockefeller bursary and returned to Nigeria to study African drama. At the same time, he taught drama and literature at various universities in Ibadan, Lagos, and Ife, where, since 1975, he has been a Professor of Comparative Literature. In 1960, he founded the theatre group, "The 1960 Masks" and in 1964, the "Orisun Theatre Company", in which he has produced his own plays and taken part as actor. He has periodically been visiting professor at the Universities of Cambridge, Sheffield, and Yale. During the civil war in Nigeria, Soyinka appealed in an article for cease-fire. He was arrested for this in 1967, accused of conspiring with the Biafra rebels, and was held as a political prisoner for 22 months until 1969. Soyinka has published about 20 works in drama, novels and poetry. He writes in English and his literary language is marked by great scope and richness of words.
As dramatist, Soyinka has been influenced by, among others, the Irish writer, J.M. Synge, but links up with the traditional popular African theatre with its combination of dance, music, and action. He bases his writing on the mythology of his own tribe, the Yoruba, and Ogun, the god of iron and war, at the centre. He wrote his first plays during his time in London, The Swamp Dwellers and The Lion and the Jewel (a light comedy), which were performed at Ibadan in 1958 and 1959 and were published in 1963. Later, satirical comedies are The Trial of Brother Jero (performed in 1960, publ. 1963) with its sequel, Jero's Metamorphosis (performed 1974, publ. 1973), A Dance of the Forests (performed 1960, publ.1963), Kongi's Harvest (performed 1965, publ. 1967) and Madmen and Specialists (performed 1970, publ. 1971). Among Soyinka's serious philosophic plays are (apart from The Swamp Dwellers) The Strong Breed (performed 1966, publ. 1963), The Road ( 1965) and Death and the King's Horseman (performed 1976, publ. 1975). In The Bacchae of Euripides (1973), he has rewritten the Bacchae for the African stage and in Opera Wonyosi (performed 1977, publ. 1981), bases himself on John Gay's Beggar's Opera and Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. Soyinka's latest dramatic works are A Play of Giants (1984) and Requiem for a Futurologist (1985). Soyinka has written two novels, The Interpreters (1965), narratively, a complicated work which has been compared to Joyce's and Faulkner's, in which six Nigerian intellectuals discuss and interpret their African experiences, and Season of Anomy (1973) which is based on the writer's thoughts during his imprisonment and confronts the Orpheus and Euridice myth with the mythology of the Yoruba. Purely autobiographical are The Man Died: Prison Notes (1972) and the account of his childhood, Aké ( 1981), in which the parents' warmth and interest in their son are prominent. Literary essays are collected in, among others, Myth, Literature and the African World (1975). Soyinka's poems, which show a close connection to his plays, are collected in Idanre, and Other Poems (1967), Poems from Prison (1969), A Shuttle in the Crypt (1972), the long poem Ogun Abibiman (1976), and Mandela's Earth and Other Poems (1988).

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Ripper Street stars Adam Rothenberg and MyAnna Buring talk new season

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Ripper Street stars Adam Rothenberg and MyAnna Buring talk new season
Our favourite Victorian crime drama (and that's a surprisingly tough category) Ripper Street is returning for a fourth season this Friday, exclusive to Amazon Prime Video.
Last season's finale saw Reid finally hang up his hat and resign from his position as Head of the H Division at Whitechapel, moving to the seaside with long-lost daughter Mathilda. Drake took over Reid's former role and married the love of his life, Rose Erskine.
It was a less happy ending for Long Susan, however, who was imprisoned for her role in the locomotive disaster, which killed 55 people. Jackson was at her side as the series closed, but have they remained together for the long-haul?
We spoke to Ripper Street stars Adam Rothenberg and MyAnna Buring about Susan and Jackson, the upcoming new series of Ripper Street and plans for a potential spin-off.
The end of last season ended on a positive note – kind of – for Susan and Jackson's relationship.
MyAnna: Yes. Darkly positive.
Adam: Gallows positive.
As in – you're together. So what's next? Are you going to be more of a united front this season?
Adam: As far as I'm concerned I think – I hope – it seems the days of us going should we, shouldn't we are gone. That's been sorted.
MyAnna: Yeah. I think definitely in terms of Susan and Jackson, for sure. What the rest of the world thinks or believes is a different matter, but between them they've gone through too much and have given in – they're doomed for each other. And to fight it…
Adam: It would be silly to fight it at this point.
Why do you think they make such an interesting couple?
MyAnna: Because they're not straight down the line soppy anything. It's been hard. They're strong personalities that clash, and yet underneath that clashing there's this massive love.
Adam: I think it's love. It's something else. I don't know if it's addiction, but it's something else. It's a wonderful thing but also very messy. It's very extreme but everyone can relate. What people go through in our world internally when they fall in love – the tumultuousness – these are those feelings just to the extreme.
Do you two personally think they should be together?
MyAnna: It's dependent on where we've been in the story. There's been times when people have been like "poor Jackson" and I've been like "what?!"
Adam: I never get that. One of the interviewers said "so, Jackson is a terrible husband" and I was like "What?" I got so depressed.
I thought Reid was a terrible husband, but Jackson…
Adam: Thank you!
MyAnna: The only time [I disagreed] was the gambling. The gambling of the money.
Adam: That was a mistake, but the only reason he did it was to get you out of a pickle that you'd put yourself in by borrowing money that Jackson knew nothing about. I'm not advocating it, but in his way – because he's brilliant in many ways and a buffoon in others – he tried. Should they be together? At this point, yeah. If you rewound to before they ever came here and were on the run, maybe no.
At the start of the new season, Susan has given birth to the couple's son Connor. Do you think parenthood has changed your characters?
MyAnna: Yes. Absolutely. I think the idea that you know, your sense of self has extended outside of you into another little creature. What becomes important to protect is not yourself but something else.
Adam: Of course yes, but I'd say in many ways no. I think Connor is an idea to Jackson, but Jackson's not really had anything to do with him [until now]. It's gonna sound cold, I don't mean it this way. I think he would love his son, if you asked Jackson do you love your son he'd say absolutely. But I think if he was being honest, it's a piece of baggage he has to take if he wants Susan, because now Susan's love is very divided. I think Jackson doesn't know what to do about it, but he knows what he has to do. I think when he lies awake at night he dreams of Susan, he doesn't dream of his son.
But that's something that could change over the course of the series?
Adam: Absolutely. It's just he hasn't seen him.
There are a lot of new characters this series. What can you tell me about them?
MyAnna: They're brilliant. They are all brilliant.
Adam: All of them really.
MyAnna: Yet again, the casting has been phenomenal. It's not only brilliant actors, it's really lovely people who add so much to the set. David Threlfall is a great example of that, I think everyone who worked with him loved to do so. He's brilliant at what he does but he's also a wonderful energy to have around. He's been around a long time, he really understand how sets work and he contributes to a lot to them. Jonas Armstrong, a phenomenal actor as well. Matt Lewis. We've had really exceptional – as always – actors joining in and they serve to make this story richer.
Any characters in particular you find quite interesting?
Adam: Croker. He's one to watch out for! The new boys Thatcher and Drummond, they're great boys, they've got some good stuff coming up.
MyAnna: We've got our new reporter, taking over from Best.
MyAnna: I know. So upsetting, I see David [Dawson, who played Fred Best in series 1-3] now, I'm still devastated. I'm like "nooo, you're not there." That was my saddest thing this year actually, that David wasn't around. I really miss him.
Adam: There's no wasted new casting. Every face you see is going to do something interesting.
One of the things I love about the show are the historical references in it. I wondered if there is anything in this new series that is based off any real life events or characters?
Adam: The jubilee.
MyAnna: What our writers do brilliantly is that they always go and fact check and pick out little bits of information here and there that is interesting to the story and relevant to the time that will place Ripper Street within the era its placed. And what it also does, it springboards from that truth.
Technology is often featured like the telegram, the telephone, stuff like that, technology is always mentioned and referenced. And what Ripper Street does is it takes that historical fact, like the mass immigration that was taking place in Whitechapel during that time, it takes that and creates a much more heightened story out of it.
It's not a historically exact programme, yet it's one that is definitely based within the realm of truth. But within it, lots of things are made up. Story is never sacrificed to be factually correct at all time. But for anyone who is interested in that time, I think it's got huge [appeal].
Are there any fun things you get to do in a Victorian drama?
MyAnna: Play in that world.
Adam: The whole thing is a playground. I just have to say props and wardrobe. And the fact nothing is solved by [technology] – there was technology back then, but everything was a chore. Getting someone in a hurry requires physical effort. I just think it's fantastic, that's the fun of it.
So you enjoy the costumes? They're not too restrictive?
Adam: For me it's very freeing, because it's the same thing all the time. Colourful jacket, that hat, it sorts itself. I think modern dress can be unspecific and sometimes you're doing a show and you've got eight costumes for no good reason. This one, for me it's like putting on your character.
MyAnna: I've complained [about my corset] enough. But no, the costumes are wonderful. I think they put all of us into character. And seeing everyone in costumes just brings that world to life.
How does it feel to have fans so dedicated that this series was brought back from the grave?
MyAnna: Really flattering, really lovely, it's wonderful to have that kid of support.
Adam: Absolutely, that's all there is to it. Thank you.
The series has been renewed for two new seasons, does this mean there are some storylines that aren't really wrapped up in this series and lead onto the fifth?
Adam: Oh yeah. I would venture to say that everything that happens in five is directly related to what goes down in four. I would think that series four and five would feel like one giant extended season.
MyAnna: I think so, but then again we don't know, we haven't got the scripts.
The most obvious spin-off to me would be based around you two, so would you be up for this?
Adam: Can you write this thing and start a petition?
You guys escaping somewhere, that makes the most sense to me.
MyAnna: I think you're totally right. That's brilliant. Write a little note on that.
Adam: …Jackson Street.
It doesn't even have to be set in England, you guys can go all over the world.
Adam: Exactly… We could film in New York, you guys live over in my neck of the woods.
MyAnna: No problem!
And that would be a completely different story, I've thought this through.
Adam: Not because it would serve me well, but I completely agree with you. I think that would be the only interesting [spin-off]. [Laughter]
Ripper Street Season 4 will be available exclusively on Prime Video from Friday 15th January, with new episodes released weekly.

Inspired by a photograph found via pinterest, I decided to make a valentine themed job for Eleanor's preschool classroom. When I showed it to Eleanor she loved the idea. Well, except for the sharing part. Apparently there was a bit of a concern about a specific little boy ruining it with his "germs".
I promised to laminate it and told her if she liked it, I could make a 2nd set for home and she graciously gave her consent. Seeing as she couldn't keep her hands off it last night when it wasn't even done yet, I have a feeling I'll be making that 2nd set.
I backed 14 pretty papers with pink card stock, laminated and cut out hearts.
I was having difficulty with glue and the clothespins as I was trying to use the left over laminated scraps. However, not a single type of glue in my household would hold those puppies together. I finally took a step back and simplified. Using a little more fresh unlaminated paper and good old modge podge I got the job done.
The arrow points are still laminated as I feared a gaggle of preschoolers would otherwise do them in. Plus both clips and hearts are backed in solid pink.
Eleanor was rather upset that she couldn't bring it to school this morning, but now it's ready and waiting for her.

Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — A judge in Arizona has ruled that police can immediately start enforcing the most contentious section of the state's immigration law, marking the first time officers can carry out the so-called "show me your papers" provision.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is the latest milestone in a two-year legal battle over the requirement.
It culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that upheld the provision on the grounds that it doesn't conflict with federal law.
Now, with the requirement finally in full effect, both sides are anxious to see the outcome.
The supporters want local police to use it vigorously, but worry federal immigration officials won't respond to calls to come arrest people.
"I am mulling what I will do if they don't respond," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who more than any other police boss in the state pushed the bounds of immigration enforcement. "I don't feel comfortable letting the illegal alien back on the street."
Federal officials said they will check people's immigration status when officers call.
But they'll only send an agent to arrest someone if it fits with their priorities, such as catching repeat violators and those who are a threat to public safety and national security.
Meanwhile, civil rights advocates are preparing for a battle.
• They're stepping up efforts to staff a hotline that fields questions about what people's rights are in case officers question their immigration status.
• If a police agency plans a special immigration patrol, volunteers armed with video cameras will be sent to capture footage, said Lydia Guzman, leader of the civil rights group Respect-Respeto.
• The law's opponents are spreading out across the state, asking police departments not to enforce the provision.
Doing so could open officers up to lawsuits from people who could claim the agencies aren't fully enforcing the law.
The incentive to not enforcing the law, said Carlos Garcia, an organizer for the Puente Movement: better cooperation of immigrants who would be more likely to report crimes.
Arizona's law was passed in 2010 amid voter frustration with the state's role as the busiest illegal entry point into the country. Five states — Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah — have adopted variations on Arizona's law.
This section of the law requires that officers, while enforcing other laws, question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally. The "show me your papers" name comes from opponents.
It's a tool for local police, said Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the measure, but won't cure the state's immigration woes.
"Only the federal government has the resources and responsibility necessary to achieve that," Brewer said.
The law's journey to this point has taken many twists and turns. Bolton is the judge who initially blocked it after the Obama administration challenged it on the grounds that federal immigration law trumps state law.
The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. There, justices barred police from enforcing other parts of the law, including a requirement that immigrants obtain or carry immigration registration papers. But they allowed the questioning requirement — to supporters the most important part — to move forward.
The latest challenge from a coalition of civil rights, religious and business groups — which Bolton denied earlier this month— said Latinos in Arizona would face systematic racial profiling.
But Bolton agreed with the state's lawyers that the law's opponents were merely speculating on those claims. She did leave the door open to challenges once the law is in effect, if the claims can be proven.
Fonseca reported from Flagstaff, Ariz.

Frank Reid and Soapy Smith talk
August 22, 2009
Hi, Mark.
A cousin of mine met you some time ago and just now found the phone number and gave it to me. It is my goal to become friends, or at the very least, civilly speak to one another, lol. Although you are a descendant of Frank Reid, of whom my great grandfather killed at the "gunfight on Juneau Wharf" 111 years ago, I am first and foremost a historian. I don't pretend Soapy Smith was a good man, but then again my research shows Frank Reid was not exactly one either. I do have a book coming out very soon which explains all I know about Reid. I would welcome any knowledge you may have on Frank and I will naturally be more than willing to share what I have found over the years if you are interested. Are there other members of your family who are interested in the Frank Reid/Soapy Smith clash?
Most importantly I am not interested in trying to discredit Reid in any way. I am only interested in the truth. When you find some time I am hoping that you might write me what you know about Frank. Are there any family photographs or belongings of his in the family?
I have a website, blog and discussion board. I want you to know that you and your family are most welcome to give your facts, thoughts and opinions. I look forward to hearing from you Mark. In the mean time I suggest you keep an eye on my blog for the latest information that involves Frank Reid.

Got your e-mail. Sorry I have not responded until now. Life has been a little hectic. Beside that I found that this whole Frank Reid thing sent me on quite a journey. This e-mail is the result. It's long, so read when you have the time and patience.

Frank Reid, City Engineer ad
Skaguay News, 1898
Odd thing. Totally random. "Weird," I think you'll agree, is the appropriate word if you read on. But I find it has put me a little in a strange position that has taken until now for me to figure out how to deal with. I'll explain.
Checking our groceries out at Trader Joe's here in San Clemente on a Sunday afternoon, my wife paid by check. The check had our name, address and phone printed on it. The bearded man checking us read the name and repeated aloud, as if a question, "Reid?" My wife answered, "Yes?" He brightened and inquired if we were related to Frank Reid. The Frank Reid famous in Skagway, Alaska for killing Soapy Smith in a gunfight back during the Klondike gold rush. I was playing with our six year old, uninvolved in the interchange to this point. My wife looked at me, and he, taking the hint, turned his attention also to me and introduced himself as a descendant of Soapy Smith. He seemed to me in that moment never to have met a person named Reid before in his life and was nearly bowled over with the novelty of it.
Now, not too long before this my parents had taken a cruise to Alaska. I don't recall the exact timing, but it was recent enough for this story to be relatively fresh in my mind. So I was oddly, accidentally prepared for this random interaction. On their cruise, they debarked their vessel in Skagway for a tour of one of the early Klondike gold rush towns and happened to witness the historical re-enactment done there in the streets for the benefit of arriving tourists of a gunfight between Frank Reid (portrayed as the good guy / hero) and Soapy Smith (conman / gang leader). In the re-enactment, both are shot. Soapy is killed in the street. Frank is wounded, but dies twelve days later of his wounds. There is an actual granite monument, a simple obelisk, with the name REID carved into it on Frank's grave. Soapy Smith had a simple small marker, which over the years has sustained the marks of time and vandals and I believe the local historical society or various benefactors have probably replaced the original several times over the 111 years since it was first placed there. Apparently this is the only thing of historical note—or, at least, any value to the tourist trade—that has ever happened in Skagway.
Unfortunately, I only remembered the most vague outline of the story, the major characters, the town, the relative time frame and so on. That was it. I never thought to research any further, or to definitively trace our family relationship to Frank if there was any. I know he died in 1898, which is approximately when my grandfather was born in New Mexico. So the closest relation he could possibly be to me would be Great Uncle (brother of my Grandad's father). But that is simple elimination, not proof of anything. All I thought of the whole thing was that a distant relative was involved in a western-style gunfight in the street of some god-forsaken coastal town in the territory of Alaska. He must have been quite an adventurer, or running from something. Like a movie. Kinda cool, I thought. That's it.
So, fast-forward to Trader Joe's check out line. Soapy Smith's self-claimed descendant is looking into my eyes. His eyes are big, seemingly excited. He is smiling. I can't even begin to write what started running through my mind at that moment. I looked down at the check in his hand with my name, home address, phone number and everything on it.... "You aren't armed are you?" I asked. He smiled, "No! My family is really into the whole Soapy Smith thing. We take trips together, try to find out more—we have taken a couple of trips up to Skagway. Yeah. I have to admit, though, we've 'sprinkled' your grandfather's urinal—I mean monument—a time or two. But no hard feelings. It's all in good fun and all." Again, a rising sensation of all kinds of strange new feelings I still have no words for. I gave him a half smile, nodded my head and said, "Wow. Yeah. I don't really know that much about that whole thing... But it is interesting... You know... Life and all. I mean how these two guys are part of Alaskan history and kill each other in a straight up street gunfight so long ago, and now you and I meet here in a Trader Joe's like this. I'm sure they never could have imagined this future, huh? Crazy."
That was it. That was the extent of our interaction. I mentioned it, I think, to my folks later as an interesting follow up to their Alaska story. I have Googled Frank Reid and Soapy Smith occasionally when totally bored and have found conflicting accounts here and there, but I suppose that is normal. Mark Twain made a living as a humorist artfully imitating the yarns, tall tales and outright lies of the uneducated, easily impressed, well-intentioned, gossiping, self-interested and duplicitous of his time. The contemporaries and the issues of Frank and Soapy were the same as Twain's subjects. Why should we expect the stories about them to be any different?
Anyway. A couple of weeks ago—maybe a year or more after our Trader Joe's encounter—you called the house and spoke with my wife. Neither my wife nor I made the connection with our chance encounter at Trader Joe's and wondered how you could have found us as our number is unlisted, and why, if you had the resources and time to find our number, did you not also have the resources to know I am only distantly related to Frank at best—more probably in the third- to forth-removed category if at all, and I have only recently learned of his existence. I am certainly not a direct descendant.
Finally, last weekend when you and I spoke directly on the phone and then I received your e-mail, I realized it was all connected to that chance encounter and probably due to the fact that I was aware of the Soapy/Reid history. I can see how the connections were made, and perhaps hopeful conclusions drawn. You have remarkable tenacity and curiosity. Perhaps it is a Smith family trait. Some might describe it as indomitable. And I mean that in a good way.
Sadly, I will disappoint you. I know less than you do about Frank Reid. And though you have piqued my interest enough that I will probably read your book and continue to stoke an ongoing interest in the subject, I have nothing of any historical note or significance to add from the Reid side of the story. This saddens me, too, a little because there seems to be a real lack of information from his side.
Since I have heard from you, I have sent out an e-mail to every Reid for whom I have an address. I only received one response. Apparently my aunt, recently deceased, had also been to Skagway (apparently a cruise to Alaska is one of those things Reids do in their later years before they die. Perhaps this is a tradition begun by our late Uncle Frank.) She had done some research of her own and had copies of his last Will and Testament, the Jury Inquiry into his murder and his Death Certificate—all available from the Skagway Public Library. A copy of these documents was sent to me, but only helped to create more questions. One has to assume from Frank's Will that he had no wife or children, as he left everything he owned to the Presbyterian Church and the Women's Relief Corps of Skagway, executed by his friend Leslie Butler. He directed that enough money be set aside from the sale of his own belongings for a decent burial, so clearly, he expected no help in that way from any family. But he did not direct the type, size or style of his memorial or monument. Oddly, he left the sum of one dollar to his brother D.V.S. Reid in Eugene, Oregon. Can't say if that was tradition in those days due to distance; wisdom to not give the money over to one of your great grandfather's phoney telegraph officers; or bad blood between the brothers.
In the meantime, I have perused the Internet several times to find that as far as historical juiciness in lore and legend, the "bad guy" wins by a mile. Just like high school, right?
From a top-level read, Frank H. Reid seems to have been just another nameless face in that crowd of miners, sailors, railroad men, criminals and victims in the muddy streets of Skaguay. Why he was there, where he came from, what his plans were, there is scant word if any. How old was he when he died? Don't know. He is born and finds his way in the dark oblivion of history until the bright spark of gunfire for a brief moment in which he is found in a clench with your famous great grandfather, and then fades again into darkness. Vicarious fame. Unsought and unwanted.

Soapy confronts Reid in Days of '98 Show
Skagway, Alaska
What is interesting is this is all we know of him. This is all history has recorded. But it seems shooting your great grandfather or becoming famous was the last thing on his mind. He had other plans. He left Oregon and came to Skagway for some other reason. But history does not care a fig about what your plans are, where you are going, what you want. History only records what actually ends up happening—usually accidents. No. Scratch that. History only records what other people remember they think happened, accidentally. We are left to put the pieces together. I, unfortunately, have far fewer pieces than you. Clearly, neither Soapy nor Frank wanted to kill or be killed. The risk was clearly there—perhaps always there. But both were doing something else when their ends came upon them in that final awkward grapple over the rifle barrel. Reading Frank's Final Will and Testament and studying his eyes in a photo I discovered online where he is found looking into the camera lens from his deathbed made me wonder if, during that last 12 days of life, he had time to consider how Soapy was buried and treated in death, and that is what caused him to make that the first consideration in his Will—to be buried "decently." Perhaps he felt Soapy was treated poorly—perhaps shockingly so—after his death, considering days before he was the Marshall at the head of the 4th of July Parade and had a place next to the Governor that day. At the point of death Frank did not look proud or like a romantic hero. He was only feeble and sick in a frontier hospital, facing his own oblivion with no heirs, no family. Perhaps he felt compassion for Soapy. Who knows? When the dying look to the dead with no one to hold them to life, who is their comforter? Perhaps the person closest to Frank was Soapy during those final days. The whole story makes me sad.
Honestly, though, I don't know why I should care at all. The more I find, the more I realize I am less and less related to this almost famous Reid. We are related in name only. Another accident. Just like the accident of your cousin and I meeting at Trader Joe's. What is really crazy is that I even subscribed to ancestry.com for one month to see if I could find out any more. Do you know what I found? Searching all records for the name Frank H. Reid, died July 20, 1898 (none come up for Skaguay, Territory of Alaska, or for Oregon), there are approximately 200,000 names. The name is of Scottish derivation, so many of the names are from immigration lists from British Commonwealth countries, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Bermuda, etc., many from New York and many from the South. I was surprised to find a large number of Reids who are black. I did not know this, but apparently it was customary in the South before the Civil War that slaves took the name of their owners. So, there must have been Reids who were landholding slave owners. I began to lose hope of finding any connection to him at all.
The Gunfight on Juneau Wharf
Skaguay News, July 8, 1898
So, I quit. I have run the wild chase and I am done. I have come up empty, except in this.
As the thousands of people who have shared my name before me scrolled before my eyes while I searched for this one name, I would occasionally stop, thinking I found him. I would read a bit and realize not. But I would leave that entry with a bit of that person's life on me—a nick name; rhyming first names of spouses; 18 people living in one house; 4 children dead from a sickness, a photo attached where you could see it in the mother's eyes. I began to realize that the Frank I was looking for was just like any of these. He came from a place like these in their time. He laughed in a parlor like their's. He knew children like these. He cared about people with stories like these. He went to church with them. He saw them born. He saw them buried. He was a common man. He had a common name. Not a name like Kennedy or Rockefeller. They owned lands and fame and their names even owned much of the alphabet. His name, only 4 letters. Modest.
In the end I have to wonder why I cared enough to do all this work, almost compulsively, in response to your call and e-mail. I suppose after some reflection I have to confess an ugly bend in my character. Years ago, after hearing the story of Frank and Soapy the way I heard it, it sounded so much more heroic and honorable on Frank's part. However accurately it may have been told, I heard the story much differently than it sounds in your rendition. And I was proud of "Uncle Frank" and wanted to stand a little closer to the self-righteous "gunfighter" I imagined him to be. Perhaps in reading the bits from your rendition that pride was damaged and I wanted to dispute it on some level. Perhaps I finally did want to find out how closely I was related to him. Hubris, family pride, morbid curiosity—not sure. But the case seems to have been much less glorious and much less attached to me. The way life really is.
Maybe it was the mention both by your cousin and by you in your apology about the Smith family "sprinkling" the Reid grave in Skagway during the "Wakes" that tugged at my family pride. I suppose I felt someone should speak for Frank at least—cool gunfighter or not; direct relative or not. And, after all, my name is Reid. Although looking at his last photograph—which appears nothing like any of his other likenesses—I have to say I can see a striking resemblance to many of the men in my family. So, for the purpose of the following, I will call him Uncle Frank, adopting him in spirit posthumously—not the tourist attraction, but what little I know of the man.
Please know when I write this that I do so with no malice in my heart toward you or your family. In fact, as I reviewed one of your sites, I saw a picture of your father admiring a grave marker of Soapy Smith at, I believe, your home in Anaheim. I was touched by the look on his face. It must be a wonderful thing to be able to share such a cool piece of history and such an interesting character—such an interesting story—with your family, and to be able to pass it from one generation to the next. Quite an unique bond. You are exceptionally fortunate and rich in that regard, and it seems you are not wasting it. Good for you.

Bishop Rowe hospital
where Reid was brought
after the gunfight.
But the peeing. Why? That part I don't get. I mean if one of the black Reids were to tell me they were peeing on their slaver's grave, I would have no issue. In fact, I would probably buy them the best Scotch Whiskey I could find to help them add to the irony. I like ironic humor, but Frank Reid didn't actually kill Soapy Smith. He didn't even draw his gun as Soapy approached, carrying his rifle and basically rifle-whipping two guards before he got to Frank. What Frank Reid did do was stand his ground. He blocked the rifle from splitting his head and only then pulled his own gun. Did he pull his pistol because the barrel end of the rifle was jammed into his own chest? Or did Soapy swing at him with the butt of the rifle and once Frank had hold of that did he realize he had a rare advantage and took it? Based on Frank's wounds I gotta think Soapy swung with the barrel end and that is what was in Frank's chest and that is why he drew on Soapy. They both struggled, firing as they did—both in self-defense. Stupid. Even more stupid, Soapy's men were following and hiding along the wharf. I think that they started firing when they thought he was being attacked by uncle Frank. Problem being, they were shooting at Soapy, too, since Frank and Soapy were locked arm in arm with Soapy between Frank and Soapy's gang.
The only irony I can find in this is that Uncle Frank died of a gunshot wound suffered at point blank range from a rifle to the groin and pelvis. Ouch. And you guys are peeing on him. Now I understand it is intended as a boyish, jovial, frat house sort of humor, more to celebrate the scoundrel than to defame an innocent man, but, in light of your own research, it seems to me more like a mean sort of irony. The only actual killer between the two men is your great grandfather, yet he is the on-going subject of romantic stories, movies and Internet interest. No one is proposing urinating on his grave. In fact others beside your family have taken an interest in tending his grave for posterity and keeping his old parlor together in Skagway. I am certainly not threatening to buy a ticket to Skagway simply to relieve myself on your predecessor's remains. Honestly I just don't care that much. I would only make the modest request that the revelers in your family holster their weapons and hold their fire out of simple respect for the dead. Please party, enjoy your family and celebrate your history. For me, I will celebrate my uncle Frank privately as a man who, like most of us, lived a modest, mostly invisible life, but stood up when the time came upon him. Whether history will sort him out as a romantic hero of the Western Frontier or not, what it will show is that when others laid down, walked away or were victimized, he stood up.
In this way he is very much a hero. He is a hero of the common man. And the common man is all of us. We all struggle with the same issues of life—sorrow, hope, fear, joy, intimacy, compassion and death. I once visited Jerusalem. There is a church there with two more churches built around it. In the center of the first church, the oldest, is a marble statue of the Virgin. The toes are worn flat on one side from the kisses and tears of the faithful. When I saw that I stopped and wept. How many kisses do you think that is? How many tears? How many fervent hopes, losses, heart-felt thanks were informing each of those kisses over how many generations? The tender lips and breathless prayers that wore those obdurate toes flat are those of the common man and woman, on their knees bearing the difficult weight of life.
So, in the end I find myself standing close to uncle Frank. Very close, by choice. And I suppose I am speaking for him in a way. I am proud of him. I even hope to be like him—not to shoot anyone, of course. But I hope I can stand when standing is required, regardless of the cost. And, having paid the ultimate price, I hope I can acquit myself simply, respectfully and with regard for others. This sort of ethic reminds me of my own father and of my grandfather. Both of them are heroes of mine for similar reasons—uncle Frank no more so than them. But, as uncle Frank had no children, I hope he can somehow know that there is at least one Reid down the line that now considers him a patriarch, and who is proud of him more for who he was than what he may be best known for.
If there is more to find, I hope you find it. If I find more, I will send it along. From my branch of the tree there is no fruit. There are not letters, documents nor any other items of value to your search. As to participating in any re-enactments of the event, my answer is kindly no—not my thing. And I would only be a poser at best. I have given to you all that I could give, and I have given it in all earnestness. That is, I have tried to look at Frank H. Reid in pictures, documents and accounts and see what I could of the story from what I imagine his point of view might have been. Since we share the same name and potentially the same DNA, it is possible there is a narrow chance we may share a similar way of seeing the world. But, in the end, that may have been like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip, and it is definitely of no historical value in any way—admittedly. If there is any value of insight to help in your search or understanding of character, that will be for you to decide. But I can say it has helped me put to rest whatever part of Frank Reid that haunted me. He and I are now at peace. Thank you for that. Or should I thank the accidents of history once again?
Good luck.

Media attorneys and civil liberties advocates praised an Attleboro judge's rulings to unseal all the search and arrest warrant affidavits in the Aaron Hernandez murder investigation, but some legal experts warn it could hurt the former Patriots tight end's chances of having a fair trial.
Media attorneys and civil liberties advocates praised an Attleboro judge's rulings to unseal all the search and arrest warrant affidavits in the Aaron Hernandez murder investigation, but some legal experts warn it could hurt the former Patriots tight end's chances of having a fair trial.
"The public's right to know is an important right, but it isn't absolute," Douglas K. Sheff, the new president of the Massachusetts Bar Association, said this week, adding that unsealing documents needs to be balanced with preserving the integrity of a criminal investigation, protecting individuals' privacy rights and ensuring a defendant's right to a fair trial.
"I understand the press's need for information and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) position, but I think these documents tend to get impounded because you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube after it's already out," said Sheff, a Boston attorney with a background in personal injury law.
On Wednesday, a consortium of media companies won a second battle to unseal court documents in the Hernandez case. Attleboro District Court Judge Daniel O'Shea approved a motion by the Patriot Ledger, the Taunton Daily Gazette and their parent company, GateHouse Media Inc., and other media outlets to release two arrest warrants and all search warrant materials that had been previously impounded by a court order.
On July 9, O'Shea also released 154 pages of documents related to eight search warrants — executed between June 17 and July 1 — into the investigation of Odin Lloyd's murder. Lloyd, 27, of Dorchester, was found dead from five gunshot wounds June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park. Hernandez, 23, charged with first-degree murder, is accused of orchestrating the shooting.
Prosecutors requested the warrant affidavits to be impounded, arguing in court documents that releasing those records to the public would compromise an ongoing investigation and increase the likelihood of witnesses being intimidated and evidence destroyed.
"There were people that were still being sought and there was evidence that was also being sought. It's something the district attorney's office routinely does in other investigations," said Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for the Bristol County District Attorney's Office.
In several other murder cases and a few drug-trafficking investigations, prosecutors in Bristol County have requested warrant affidavits to be impounded. Those requests are almost always approved by a judge, and getting those impoundment orders vacated requires the legal know-how to file motions and argue the points of law in court.
Lawyers for GateHouse Media argued this week in Attleboro District Court that state law says all warrant materials are public records. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court also ruled all judicial records are presumptively available to the public in an August 2012 decision that upheld a lower court's ruling to unseal a search warrant in a statutory rape case against William O'Connell, a prominent Quincy real estate developer.
Michael Grygiel of Greenberg Traurig LLP in Boston, representing the GateHouse Media newspapers, argued this week all search warrant materials in Massachusetts are public records after police have executed a search and filed the warrant return with the court.
"The law is clear that search warrants are public records that are generally available to the public," said Matthew Segal, the legal director for the ACLU of Massachusetts.
"There are certainly occasions where the search warrants have sensitive information that, if disclosed, could impair some investigations," Segal said. "But then again, the law says that what should happen in those cases is that the particular sensitive information be redacted and the remainder of the documents should be disclosed.
"What happens instead too often in Massachusetts is the wholesale impounding of these documents and that is contrary to the existing law," Segal said.
Several excerpts in the court documents released Thursday afternoon were redacted to protect information deemed sensitive. Miliote said prosecutors in general only seek documents to be impounded at the beginning of an investigation.
"Once our investigations are complete, we don't try to push to continue to have the information sealed unless it's in the interest of an investigation," Miliote said.
On Wednesday, prosecutors did not challenge GateHouse's motion to unseal the documents. Hernandez's defense team opposed the release of those records, arguing in court that the information would harm Hernandez's constitutional right to a fair trial.
Defense lawyers are often just as concerned about information getting out that could harm their clients' cases or public image.
"Part of it is the more the media puts out there, the greater the chance of the taint to the jury pool," Fall River defense attorney Rene Brown said, adding that investigators sometimes include incorrect information and uncorroborated hearsay statements in their affidavits. Confidential informants are also sometimes named in the affidavits.
"It's a case-by-case basis. It can help or hurt both sides," Brown said. "Sometimes a defense lawyer wants it to be impounded because the information is garbage. But sometimes you want that stuff to be known and everybody else to know it."
Sheff said judges should review warrant affidavits and decide what information is sensitive and needs to be redacted.
"The more experienced the judge and with a more thoughtful process, information can get out without doing harm to those other important considerations," Sheff said. "You provide enough information to keep the public informed without going so far as to hurt anyone in the public or the witnesses and defendants in the case."
Randy Gioia, the deputy chief counsel for the public defender division at the Committee for Public Counsel Services, said a defendant's right to a fair trial and impartial jury overrides all other considerations.
"That to me is the important thing for a free society," said Gioia, who added that releasing information compiled by law enforcement investigators unfairly presents only one side of the story.
"Aaron Hernandez, like many other people, sits in jail based on evidence that has never been questioned or tested in court," Gioia said. "I think that's a serious problem. That's why we have to be careful about what information gets out there. It causes you to draw conclusions without knowing the full picture."
Hernandez's defense team, citing a judge's gag order, has thus far declined to comment specifically on the allegations, other than to say they believe Hernandez will be exonerated and that the case against him is weak and circumstantial.
Segal said he believed there are circumstances in which documents should be impounded because they really contain information that could cause harm if released. But Segal said he has also seen "dubious" claims for sealing documents.
"It's a real problem that leaves the prosecutors with control over information," Segal said. "It's particularly troublesome to see what is happening in an era when actual everyday people have fewer protections for their privacy then ever before.
"We basically live in an era where prosecutors have privacy," Segal added, "but few others do."

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsEvents
Ford Mustang and F-Series Named 2013 SEMA Award Winners
At this year's 2013 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Ford stole the spotlight winning two out of four SEMA Awards for trending vehicle models thanks to SEMA Show Exhibitors. The SEMA Awards are broken up into four categories – Hottest Car, Hottest Sport Compact, Hottest Truck and Hottest 4x4 – SUV. Ford took home two out of four with the Mustang grabbing the Hottest Car and Ford F-Series winning the Hottest Truck title.
These vehicles were recognized by specialty-equipment manufacturers as the best platform to accessorize, and that showcase the year's coolest products.
"The SEMA Show has always been the annual event where the newest and most innovative products are seen first," said Chris J. Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. "The SEMA Award celebrates the industry's unique ability to identify and set the trends that influence consumers worldwide."
Just this year over 2,400 exhibiting companies that manufacture thousands of products from performance and safety to cosmetic and comfort packed the convention center floor. While products are available for every make and model on the SEMA floor, exhibitors are investing more in the Ford Mustang and F-Series than any other vehicle (as well as the Scion FR-S, which was named Hottest Sport Compact and Jeep Wrangler for Hottest 4x4 SUV).
"Now in its fourth year, the SEMA Award helps guide consumers toward the hottest-trending and most accessory friendly vehicles on the market," added Kersting. "Our SEMA Show exhibitors are industry visionaries who determine the winners of the SEMA Award. The booth space is a ballot and the vehicles they choose to showcase in their booths are a vote. The most prominent models in each category are the winners."

You can also configure any standard (distribution shipped) syslog to log remotely to your head node or even a seperate logging master. Anything that gets reported to the syslog facility can be reported/archived in this manner, you just need to dig into the documentation (e.g. man syslog, man syslog.conf, man 5 syslog, etc) to figure out the configuration you need. It is actually pretty straight-forward. Logging the I/O errors or any other kernel driver output should be no problem. Most standard syslog mechanisms will not let you cleanly create a hierarchy such as what syslog-ng will give you, but I find that simply grepping one or two central log files works better for me, anyways. -geoff

Curried Chicken on the Grill (with Cilantro Chutney)
(Click for step-by-step photos of how to make juicy and perfect grilled chicken breasts.)
Curried Chicken on the Grill (with Cilantro Chutney)
(Makes 6-8 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 T mayo or plain yogurt (see note)
1 T garlic powder or fresh garlic puree
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 T Madras curry powder (Sun Brand Recommended)
2 tsp. sweet curry powder
1 T. dried cilantro or 2 T fresh cilantro, finely minced (optional)
cilantro chutney for serving (optional)
Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken breasts, then make small slits going crosswise down each chicken breast about 1/2 inch apart, being careful not to cut through. (This helps the marinade to penetrate.) Put chicken in single layer in Ziploc bag.
Mix marinade ingredients and pour marinade over chicken, then seal bag and marinate for 4-12 hours in the refrigerator. You can turn it over a few times if you're home but it's not essential.
To cook, preheat grill to medium high and spray with nonstick spray. Grill chicken about 15-20 minutes, or until each piece is slightly browned and feels firm but not hard to the touch. Serve hot, with cilantro chutney if desired.
This chicken could also be cooked in a stove-top grill pan with ridges or a George Foreman Grill with good results.
South Beach Suggestions:
In Indian cooking it is traditional to marinate chicken in plain yogurt, but I don't usually have it on hand so I used mayo. The mayo does keep the chicken very moist, and mayo is made with soybean oil, which is a "good" fat for the South Beach Diet. This is a perfect recipe for any phase of The South Beach Diet, and would be great with Slow Roasted Asparagus or Roasted Broccoli with Garlic. For phase two or three you could add a side dish like Indian Spiced Lentils, Lake Powell Spicy Rice, or Brown and Wild Rice with Pine Nuts and Thyme.
About Ingredients:
Sun brand Madras curry powder comes in a tin, and it's inexpensive and available in most grocery stores. Madras curry powder is hot, so if you don't have it you could add a little cayenne pepper to whatever curry powder you have and it would be fine.

It's the very worst of PC problems. One minute you're working away on your system, engrossed in something important, when suddenly a blue screen appears, complete with some incomprehensible error message. Then your system reboots and any unsaved work is lost. Frustrating, to put it politely.
NirSoft BlueScreenView can help you figure out why this is happening, though, by displaying all your crash dump files and letting you browse the contents. Double-click the last crash, for instance, and it'll display details including the file that Windows believes is responsible - very useful.
You'll also normally see the product name and company associated with this file, which should help you identify it. If this is a program you've recently installed, and it keeps causing crashes, then that's plainly a very bad sign - try uninstalling it, see if your system becomes more stable.
Crash analysis can be very difficult, however, and sometimes Windows will blame the wrong file. If BlueScreenView reports that a crash was due to some core Windows component, for instance, like the kernel, then this is probably incorrect. The program can still help, though, for example by displaying all the other drivers that your PC was using at the time. If your PC keeps suffering blue-screen crashes and you can't figure out why then NirSoft BlueScreenView could be an invaluable research tool.
A useful tool that deserves a place in everyone's troubleshooting toolkit

Embarrassed by General McClellan's repeated defeats and apparent
lack of commitment in prosecuting the war, Lincoln replaced him on
November 7 with General Ambrose Burnside. Burnside launched a
winter campaign against the Confederate capital, Richmond, by way of
Fredericksburg, a strategically important town on the Rappahannock
River. The Federal Army of the Potomac, 115,000-strong, raced to
Fredericksburg, arriving on November 17. There were only a few
thousand Confederates on hand to challenge them, yet the Federal
advance ground to a halt on the eastern bank of the Rappahannock,
opposite the city. Burnside's campaign was delayed for over a week
when material he had ordered for pontoon bridges failed to arrive.
Disappointed by the delay, Burnside marked time for a further two
weeks. Meanwhile, Lee took advantage of the stalled Federal drive to
concentrate and entrench his Army of Northern Virginia, some
78,000-strong, on the high ground behind Fredericksburg.
With the arrival of the pontoons, Burnside crossed the river on
December 11, despite fierce fire from Confederate snipers concealed
in buildings along the city's river front. When the Confederates
withdrew, Federal soldiers looted the town, from which the inhabitants
had been evacuated. By December 13, Burnside was prepared to
launch a two-pronged attack to drive Lee's forces from an imposing set
of hills just outside Fredericksburg.
The main assault struck south of the city. Misunderstandings and
bungled leadership on the part of the commander of the Federal left,
Major General William B. Franklin, limited the attacking force to two
small divisions - Major General George G. Meade to lead; Major
General John Gibbon in support. Meade's troops broke through an
unguarded gap in the Confederate lines, but Jackson's men expelled the
unsupported Federals, inflicting heavy losses. Burnside launched his
second attack from Fredericksburg against the Confederate left on
Marye's Heights. Wave after wave of Federal attackers were mown
down by Confederate troops firing from an unassailable position in a
sunken road protected by a stone wall. Over the course of the
afternoon, no fewer than fourteen successive Federal brigades charged
the wall of Confederate fire. Not a single Federal soldier reached
Longstreet's line.
On December 15, Burnside ordered his beaten army back across the
Rappahannock.The Union had lost 13,000 soldiers in a battle in which
the dreadful carnage was matched only by its futility. Federal morale
plummeted, and Burnside was swiftly relieved of his command. By
contrast, the morale of the Confederacy reached a peak. Their
casualties had been considerably lighter than the Union's, totaling only
5,000. Lee's substantial victory at Fredericksburg, won with relative
ease, increased the already buoyant confidence of the Army of
Northern Virginia, which led subsequently to the invasion of the North
the following summer.

Beef & Snow Peas with XO SauceFor XO Sauce:
2 tablespoons small dried shrimp (1/4 oz)
1 cup water
1/4 cup dried scallops (about 10; each 1 inch wide)
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup finely minced onion (1/2 small)
3 garlic cloves, finely minced (1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon minced fresh hot red chile including seeds
2 tablespoons minced Virginia ham or fine-quality prosciutto (1/2 oz)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For beef and snow peas:
1 lb Piedmontese sirloin steak, sliced 1/4 inch thick against the grain, visible fat trimmed and discarded
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or medium-dry Sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 lb snow peas, trimmed and strings discarded
Special equipment: 14 inch wok Accompaniment: steamed white rice
Make sauce:
> Cover dried shrimp with boiling-hot water in a small bowl and soak 1 hour.
> Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a 1 quart heavy saucepan and add dried scallops (scallops should be completely submerged). Remove from heat and soak 15 minutes. Return pan to heat and simmer over low heat until scallops are soft and pale, about 15 minutes, then remove from heat and cool in cooking liquid. Shred scallops into "threads" with a fork or your fingers, discarding abductor muscle (abductor will remain solid but scallop meat shreds easily).
> Drain shrimp, discarding any blemished or dark pieces, and chop very finely.
> Heat wok over moderate heat, then add oil, swirling to coat, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, garlic, and chile and cook, stirring gently, until mixture stops steaming, about 3 minutes.
> Add shrimp, scallops, ham, and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add reserved scallop cooking liquid and simmer over low heat until slightly darkened and most of liquid is evaporated (leaving only oil), 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer sauce to a bowl and cool. Wipe wok clean.
Make beef and snow peas:
> Toss beef with rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and pepper in a bowl until well coated, then marinate 15 minutes.
> Heat wok over high heat until smoking, then add 1/2 tablespoon oil, swirling to coat, and heat until smoking. Add half of beef and cook, turning over once, until browned, about 1 minute total, then transfer to a clean bowl. Add another 1/2 tablespoon oil and repeat with remaining beef.
>Pat snow peas dry if necessary. Wipe wok clean and heat until hot but not smoking, then add remaining tablespoon oil, swirling to coat. Add snow peas carefully (oil may splatter) and stir-fry until bright green, about 1 minute. Add XO sauce and stir-fry until snow peas are coated. If mixture seems dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Cover wok and cook snow peas until crisp-tender, about 1 minute.
> Add beef with any juices accumulated in bowl and stir-fry until beef is heated through and sauce is thickened, about 1 minute.
Cooks Note: A 12 inch heavy skillet can be substituted for the wok. When making the XO sauce, reduce heat to moderately low after adding onion, garlic, and chile to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, only 1 minute. Also, cook shrimp mixture, stirring constantly, only 1 minute. Add reserved scallop liquid and simmer over moderate heat until slightly darkened and most of liquid is evaporated (leaving only oil), about 2 minutes. When cooking beef and snow peas, beef will take about 2 minutes (per batch) to brown in skillet.

On February 1st, 2016, DevIsland hosted an event for local developers with the Toptal South America Roadtrip - a DevNight at the Technological Park of Belo Horizonte, better known as BHTec. Toptal's Head of Marketing and Communications Dror Liebenthal, and Toptal's Belo Horizonte Community Leader Diego Ballona spoke to an audience of around 30 developers.
The first talk was on the freelance market in today's economy. Dror addressed the historical challenges of freelance work. But the world is changing. In his presentation, Dror notes the fact that over a third of the US workforce is freelancing (a figure that is supposed to grow to 50% by 2020) and digs into why the freelance market is becoming more hospitable to freelancers.
Following Dror's presentation, Diego took the stage to talk about the other side: his experience as a freelance software developer pre- and post- Toptal. Diego described firsthand the troubles he had finding reasonable clients and interesting work on his own and through freelance sites like freelancer.com and Odesk (now Upwork) before finding a solution through Toptal.
After the presentations, the attentive crowd of developers asked nearly an hour of questions with a focus on how international payment works and the best ways to navigate Brazilian taxes as well as how the Toptal screening process works.
A big thanks to Douglas Aguiar and Gibran Silva for organizing this event!
