Tullhuset: Archipelago dining
The only drawback with this is its opening hours but that's because it serves fresh fish (no Mondays). Why it wasn't open for lunch, I don't know and that is why we couldn't visit. It is however open in the evenings and seems to have a great menu deal, including a lot of local fish (but there is hot dogs for picky children). Sitting on the veranda, you have a great look out to sea as you can see in this picture (enlarge). In fact, you see straight out to famous Vinga lighthouse. If you click on the second picture you will see its setting out on a cliff.

Hönökakan: Hönökaka cafe
On your way to the quay at Klova, you pass a typical red wooden house where people sit in the garden summertime. Inside, there is a big whitewashed oven where the local speciality, hönökaka, is baked. The soft, round flatbreads were originally baked so that fishermen had something to sustain them during long trips and they are quite big. You can buy imitations in any Swedish supermarket but nothing is like these homemade ones. There is also Lejonet & Björnen ice cream, one of the yummiest ice cream brands in the country, and several nice cakes as well as espresso and various other coffee. On top of that, this cafe has art exhibitions upstairs.
Favorite Dish: All sorts of things.

Phoenix International Raceway has played host to quite a few memorable moments for members of the Coca-Cola Racing Family. It was at the 1993 Copper Classic that Tony Stewart decided to quit his machine shop job back in Indiana and become a full-time race driver. He went on to record his second-career Cup victory at the track, equaling Davey Allison's mark for rookies (which Stewart broke the following week at Homestead). Ryan Newman made his premier series debut at the track in 2000, and he broke a long winless drought with his first victory at Stewart-Haas Racing a year later. Greg Biffle has three Nationwide Series wins at Phoenix, the first of which (in 2001) came on a weekend in which he also won the track's truck race. Longtime Coke driver Jeff Burton won that weekend's Cup race to give what was then Roush Racing a sweep of the triple header.
It is another CCRF member, however, that has particularly experienced highs and lows at the "Diamond in the Desert."
There are few greater joys in Sprint Cup racing than watching Denny Hamlin drive on a flat short track. Obviously Martinsville, Richmond, and Loudon stand out as the tracks where his talents really shine, but the Virginia late model ace has also had some terrific runs at Phoenix. Sometimes they have ended well. Other times, they have ended not so well.
In November 2005, it was already known that Denny Hamlin would be driving the No. 11 FedEx car for Joe Gibbs in 2006. He had won the ride with a solid audition that had seen him record three top-10 finishes in his first five starts. What's more, he had brought legtimacy to a car and team that had struggled mightily, first with the late Jason Leffler and then with J.J. Yeley at the wheel. At Phoenix, he put a punctuation point on that audition by winning the pole for the Checker Auto Parts 500. Hamlin didn't win that race, finishing only 13th, but the pole run set up his real coming out party the following February when he became the first rookie to win the Bud Shootout (now Sprint Unlimited, which he of course won for a second time on February 15).
In April 2007, Hamlin's Chevrolet was probably the best car on the evening. He led 70 of the first 100 laps and likely would have won going away if not for a pit road speeding penalty during a caution period on lap 100 that sent him to the tail of the field. He rallied back for a third-place finish, but he almost certainly should have and would have been the victor if he hadn't shot himself in the foot. That was just one of several encounters with "the one that got away" that Hamlin experienced in that '07 campaign. It would not be his last, certainly not at PIR.
One of the most famous races of Hamlin's career is the 2010 Subway Fresh Fit 600K. After suffering through the first two months of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee that he'd suffered the prior December during a game of pick-up basketball, he was forced to move surgical repairs - originally scheduled for the offseason - up to the Monday after a race in Martinsvillle (two weeks before Phoenix). The Martinsville race was rained to Monday, pushing Hamlin's surgery back to Wednesday and cutting two more days out of his recovery. A silver lining was that he won the Martinsville event. At PIR, less than two weeks removed from the surgery, Hamlin arrived with Casey Mears standing by as a relief driver. Despite an early accident that damaged his Camry and battery issues that further haunted his night and dropped him two laps off the pace, Hamlin put on his bravest face possible and stayed in the 11 car for all 378 laps. No 30th-place finish had ever earned a driver such adulation. A week later, he won at Texas, and subsequent wins at Darlington, Pocono, and Michigan were in his near future. It was around this time that Hamlin adopted the slogan "All we do is win."
By the time the Sprint Cup Series returned to Phoenix that November, Hamlin had added three more wins (taking Richmond to end the regular season and the completing season sweeps at Martinsville and Texas). More importantly, with that Texas win, he had ascended past Jimmie Johnson into the points lead with just two races left. Much the same as in April 2007, Hamlin was dominant at PIR. It seemed a certainty that he would win the race or at least finish in the top-three, setting up his corronation as the third man to win a Cup title for the Gibbs team. Everyone knows what happened next: a miscalculation in fuel strategy forced Hamlin to the pit lane for a late splash of gas. He wound up 12th after leading 190 laps. Rival Jimmie Johnson, meanwhile, finished fifth and cut Hamlin's lead down to just 15 points (under the old system, 3-5 points today). Under heavy pressure at Miami, Hamlin essentially choked, tangling with Biffle early and watching helplessly as Johnson pulled back ahead to score his fifth-straight championship.
Such a devastating loss had to affect the team, and the results showed throughout 2011. Hamlin won but once and was never a factor in the championship battle. Mike Ford, the only crew chief Hamlin had known at the Cup level, was fired in the offseason and replaced with Darian Grubb (who had just guided Stewart to an improbable third championship despite knowing he was out at Stewart-Haas at the end of the season). As if to bring things full circle from their November '10 disaster, the 11 bunch - with a new captain in charge - went to PIR for the second race of the 2012 season and won the show. That win was the catalyst in a strong season that saw Hamlin record five victories and contend for the title until car problems at Martinsville and two more sub-par finishes out of his hands doomed him to a sixth-place result.
Now, two years after that first and - to date - only win at PIR, Hamlin returns to Arizona with a bit of momentum following his incredible Speedweeks. Of course, his last Sprint Cup win was just two races ago at the season finale in Homestead. Still, given the nightmare 2013 became after his injury at Fontana at the end of March, another return visit to PIR's victory lane would be the perfect sounding of the horns that Hamlin is back in championship-contending form. It would be only fitting that a win at Phoenix would set him on a path that could lead to his first Sprint Cup championship.

STATE OF ALABAMA, etal., Defendants-Appellees. APPELLANT'S TIME SENSITIVE MOTION FOR INJUNCTION PENDING APPEAL AND TEMPORARY INJUNCTION PENDING FULL CONSIDERATION INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Pursuant to FRAP 8(a) and 27, the United States of America respectfully requests that the Court enjoin, pending appeal, provisions of Alabama H. B. 56 that form part of a sweeping new state regime that imposes a host of new criminal penalties and disabilities on persons unlawfully in the United States - and, in the process, burdens those who are legally present. That state regime contravenes the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration. We also ask that the Court issue a temporary injunction pending full consideration of this motion and that it establish an expedited schedule for briefing and argument. The district court denied, in relevant part, the United States' motion for a preliminary injunction on September. 28, 2011, and denied our motion for an injunction pending appeal on October 5, 2011. Attachments 1, 2. H.B. 56 creates a comprehensive set of immigration provisions that, in the words of its sponsor, "attacks every aspect of an illegal alien's life" and "is designed to make it difficult for them to live here so they will deport themselves." 1 To this end, .H.B. 56 creates a panoply of new state offenses that criminalize, among other things, an alien's failure to comply with federal registration requirements that were enacted pursuant to Congress's exclusive power to regulate immigration, an alien's attempt to solicit or perform work, and an alien's attempt to interact with state or local government. The law also invites discrimination against many foreign-born citizens and lawfully present aliens, including legal residents, by making it a crime for any landlord to rent housing to an unlawfully present alien, invalidating all contracts with unlawfully present aliens, and even targeting school-age children with an alien registration system. To achieve maximum enforcement, H.B. 56 establishes a new state-wide . mandatory immigration status-verification system to be enforced whenever practicable by every law enforcement officer who, during the course of any stop, has reasonable suspicion that a person is "unlawfully present." State and local authorities that fail to enforce the statute to the full extent are subject to suit for money damages by any lawful resident of Alabama. 1 Conor Friedersdorf, W0' Alabama's Immigration Bill Is Badfor Citizens, The Atlantic, June 13, 2011, http:/ /www.theatlantic.com/politics/ archive/2011/06/ why-alabamas-immigration-bill-is-bad-for-citizens/240297 / (last visited October 5, 2011) (quoting H.B. 56 sponsor Rep. Mickey Hammon). -2- These provisions, individually and in concert, invade the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration. Pursuant to that authority, Congress has enacted a comprehensive statutory scheme to deal with aliens unlawfully in the United States- including procedures for their orderly removal under the law and for seeking asylum and other forms of relief from removal- and also to respect the status of aliens who are legally present in this country. Apart from the provisions for removal of aliens, Congress has imposed restrictions on employers who knowingly hire unauthorized aliens, but has not otherwise restricted contracts or commercial dealings with them. These enactments reflect a congressional determination to bring about the removal of illegally present aliens through the process of the federal immigration laws. They also demonstrate a recognition that the means of enforcement are committed to the judgment and discretion of federal officials, and must be informed by a variety of considerations, including the impact on the rights of persons lawfully in the United States and the impact of immigration policy on the Nation's dealings with other countries. In light of these competing concerns, the federal government focuses its attention on aliens who pose a danger to national security or have committed crimes, and States do not have the authority to disregard these priorities and create a patchwork of independent immigration policies. Similarly, neither the Constitution nor the federal immigration laws permit a state scheme avowedly designed to drive aliens out of the State - a program of de facto removal and a blunt instrument that can only impede -3- federal law enforcement, obstruct the overall national regulation of immigration, and present new concerns for the States to which aliens "deport themselves." As the district court recognized in enjoining certain provisions of the new Alabama law, H.B. 56 implicates the federal government's exclusive authority over immigration enforcement. The provisions that were not enjoined likewise mark a major and disruptive shift in state law that has raised widespread questions and concerns. Although it is too soon to determine with precision the effects of H.B. 56, news accounts confirm that the law is having its intended but impermissible consequences of driving aliens from the State outside of the INA's orderly system for removal, and by inducing many parents to keep their children home from .school due to fear about the State's immigration policy. 2 We therefore ask that the Court hear this appeal on an expedited basis to resolve the constitutional issues presented. In the interim, the public interest, as well as the interests of the United States, will be served by an injunction pending appeal, an exercise of this Court's authority that will result in no irreparable harm to the State. 2 See, e.g., Campbell Robertson, After Ruling, Hispanics Flee an Alabama Town, New York Times, October 3, 2011, http:/ /www.nytimes.com/2011/10/04/us/after- ruling-hispanics-flee-an-alabama-town.html?_r=3&hp=&pagewanted=all ~ast visited Oct. 6, 2011). -4-, STATEMENT A. The Federal Immigration Scheme 1. The "[p)ower to regulate immigration is unquestionably exclusively a federal power," and only the federal government may determine "who should or should not be admitted into the country, and the conditions under which a legal entrant may remain." DeCanas v. Bica, 424 U.S. 351, 354, 355 (1976). Exercising this exclusive authority, Congress enacted the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), 66 Stat. 163, as amended, 8 U.S.'c. § 1101 et seq.,'which established a "comprehensive federal statutory scheme for regulation of immigration and naturalization" and set "the terms and conditions of admission to the country and the subsequent treatment of aliens lawfully in the country." DeCanas, 424 U.S. at 353, 359. The INA establishes the grounds on which an alien is removable from the United States, see 8 U.S.C. §§ 1227(a), 1182(a), and establishes the exclusive procedures for removal, id §§ 1227(a), 1228, 1229a. Congress has directed the officials responsible for enforcing federal law to "prioritize the identification and removal of aliens convicted of a crime by the severity of that crime." Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-83, Title II, 123 Stat. 2142, 2149 (2009).. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has made "aliens who pose a danger to national security or a risk to public safety" its highest priority, including aliens engaged in or suspected of terrorism and aliens convicted of criminal activity. Ragsdale Decl. ~ 8 (Attachment 3). In contrast, -5- "[a]liens who have been present in the U.S. without authorization fora prolonged period . of time, but who have not been convicted of criminal conduct, present a lower enforcement priority." Id ~ 9. Federal officials also must take into account humanitarian interests in appropriate instances, reflecting the federal government's "desire to ensure that aliens in the system are treated fairly and with appropriate respect given their individual circumstances." Id ~ 10. These humanitarian concerns "may, in appropriate cases, support a conclusion that an [otherwise removable] alien should not be detained during the removal process or removed at alL" Ibid Federal law thus empowers federal officials in a number of ways to exercise their discretion not to apply a specific immigration law provision to an alien who may have unlawfully entered or remained in the United States. And in all instances, the implementation of the federal immigration laws, including-through removal or prosecution, requires resort to orderly federal procedures under the authority of the federal officials in which Congress has vested that authority. 2. The INA encourages States to cooperate with federal government officials in the enforcement of immigration laws, and provides state officials with express authority to take certain actions to assist federal immigration officials. For example, state officers may make arrests for violations of the INA's prohibition against smuggling, transporting, or harboring aliens. See 8 U.S.C. § 1324(c). Similar~y, under certain circumstances, state officers may arrest and detain an alien who is illegally present in the United States and -6- has previously been convicted of a felony in the United States and left the country. Id § 1252c. Congress has also authorized DHS to enter into agreements with States to allow appropriately trained and supervised state and local. officers to perform enumerated immigration related functions "subject to the direction and supervision of ' the [Secretary]." Id § 1357(g)(3). A formal agreement is not required for state and local officers to "communicate with the [Secretary] regarding the immigration status of any individual," or "otherwise to cooperate with the [Secretary] in the identification, apprehension, detention, or removal of aliens not lawfully present in the United States." Id § 1357(g)(10). Consistent with this provision, DHS has invited and accepted the assistance of state and local law enforcement personnel without a written agreement in a variety of contexts. B. ALABAMA'S H.B. 56 This motion concerns the following provisions of Alabama H.B. 56: Section 10 provides that "[i]n addition to any violation of federal law, a person is guilty of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document if the person is in violation of 8 U.S. C. § 1304(e) or 8 U.S.C. § 1306(a), and the person is an alien unlawfully present in the United States." This provision creates a new state misdemeanor crime for violations of the referenced provisions of federal law,. which require certain aliens to register with the federal government and to carry their registration documents, under threat of federal misdemeanor penalties. -7- Section 12(a) reqmres law enforcement officers, "(u]pon any lawful stop, detention, or arrest ... where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States," to make a "reasonable attempt ... when practicable, to determine the citizenship and immigration status of the person, except if the determination may hinder or obstruct an investigation." A person is presumed to be lawfully present if the person provides one of six specified forms of identification. H.B. ·56, § 12(d). Immigration status verification is to be carried out by contacting the federal government pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1373(c). H.B. 56 § 12(a). If a person's unlawful presence is confirmed, the officer must cooperate in transferring the alien to the federal government, "if the federal government so requests." H.B. 56,§ 12(e). Sections 10 and 12 were modeled on provisions of Arizona's S.B. 1070, which have been enjoined by an Arizona district court in an opinion affirmed by the Ninth Circuit. United States v. Arizona, 641 F.3d 339, 348-57 (9th Cir. 2011). Section 18 of H.B. 56 complements Section 12(a) by mandating verification for all persons arrested for driving without a license. Upon such an arrest, Alabama officials must make a "reasonable effort ... to determine the citizenship of the person and if an alien, whether the alien is lawfully present in the United States by verification with the federal government pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1373(c)." H.B. 56,§ 18(c). A determination must be made within 48 hours, and if the person is unlawfully present, then he "shall be -8- considered a flight risk and shall be detained until the prosecution or until handed over to federal immigration authorities." H.B. 56,§ 18(d). Section 27 provides that no Alabama court "shall enforce the terms of, or otherwise regard as valid, any contract between a party and an alien unlawfully present in the United States, if the party had direct or constructive knowledge that the alien was unlawfully present in the United States at the time the contract was entered into," subject to limited exceptions for contracts that can be performed without remaining in the United States for 24 hours; contracts for a single night's lodging, food for the alien's consumption, medical services, or transportation out of the country; and contracts "authorized by federal law." Section 28 requires public elementary and secondary schools to determine at the time of enrollment "whether the student enrolling in public school was born outside the jurisdiction of the United States or is the child of an alien not lawfully present in the United States and qualifies for assignment to an English as Second Language class or other remedial program." H.B. 56,§ 28(a)(1). To this end, students must provide their birth certificate. If the birth certificate reveals that the student was born outside the United States or is the child of an unlawfully present alien (or is unavailable), the student's parent or guardian must demonstrate the student's immigration status by certain specified means. H.B. 56,§ 28(a)(2)-(4). The data collected under this provision must be submitted to the State Board of Education, which in turn submits a report to -9- the legislature. H.B. 56, § 28(b)-(d). Section 30 provides that an unlawfully present alien "shall not enter into or attempt to enter into a business transaction with the state or a political subdivision of the state," and others may not enter into such transactions on their behalf. H.B. 56,§ 30(b). A violation ofthe statute is a Class C felony. H.B. 56, § 30(d). The statute defines "business transaction" to include "any transaction between a person and the state or a political subdivision of the state, including, but not limited to, applying for or renewing a motor vehicle licens.e plate, applying for or renewing a driver's license or nondriver identification card, or applying for or renewing a business license," but the definition t excludes "applying for a marriage license." H.B. 56,§ 30(a). C. Prior Proceedings The United States initiated this action and sought a preliminary injunction against these and other provisions of H.B. 56 based on their preemption by federal law. The district court granted the injunction with respect to other provisions of H.B. 56 that impose sanctions on unauthorized aliens who seek or perform work (Section 11 (a)), Mem. Op. 36-52; make it a state crime to conceal, harbor, shield, or transport an alien unlawfully present in the United States, or to encourage such person to come into the State of Alabama, including through the mere act of leasing property to unlawfully present persons (Section 13), Mem. Op. 70-86; and impose sanctions on employers who hire unauthorized workers (Sections 16 and 17), Mem. Op. 86-97. The court denied -10- relief with respect to the provisions at issue here. The court recognized that federal law provides for state assistance in enforcing the immigration laws only when the State's efforts constitute "cooperat[ion]" with federal officials, 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g)(10)(B), see Mem. Op. 68, but then concluded that Section 12 "reflects an intent to cooperate with the federal government," because it leaves the ultimate determination about lawful presence and removal to federal authorities. Mem. Op. 68. The district court incorporated this analysis in denying the · preliminary injunction as to Section 18. Mem. Op. at 100. The district court recognized that Section 27 "strips an unlawfully-present alien of the capacity to contract except in certain circumstances." Mem. Op. 101. The court concluded, however, that it was likely not preempted by federal law because "nothing shows Congress intended that such contracts would be enforceable." Mem. Op. 102. The district court held that Section 28, which requires every child who enrolls in school to document his or her immigration status, "does not create an independent, state-specific registration scheme," and was therefore likely not preempted by federal law. Mem. Op. 108-09. Finally, the district court reasoned that "Section 30 is intended to prohibit the state from issuing a license to an unlawfully-present alien," which nothing in the INA prevents the State from doing. Mem. Op. 113. The district court did not address Section 30's imposition of criminal penalties on unlawfully present aliens who attempt -11- to engage in business transactions with the State. ARGUMENT I. The United States is likely to succeed on the merits. A. The "'power to restrict, limit, regulate, and register aliens as a distinct group is not an equal and continuously existing concurrent power of state and nation[;] ... whatever power a state may have is subordinate to supreme national law."' Hines v. Davidowitz, 312 U.S. 52,68 (1941). The regulation of immigration is intertwined with the national government's exclusive conduct of foreign policy, and "international controversies of the gravest moment, sometimes even leading to war, may arise from real or imagined wrongs to another's subjects inflicted, or permitted, by a government." Id at 64. Even perceived mistreatment of aliens within the United States risks "reciprocal and r~taliatory treatment ofU .S. citizens abroad," thereby implicating "the a~ility ofU .S. citizens to travel, conduct business, and live abroad:" Burns Decl. ,-r 9 (Attachment 4). Federal power over immigration does not preclude "every state enactment which in any way deals with aliens,'' De Canas, 424 U.S. at 355, or bona fide state cooperation with the federal officials responsible for enforcing the INA, see 8 U.S. C. § 1357(g)(10). But because the "[p] ower to regulate immigration is unquestionably exclusively a federal power," De Canas, 424 U.S. at 354, any assistance rendered by state and local officers to federal officials in the enforcement of the INA is subordinate to and must remain responsive to the priorities and discretion of the federal officials who are charged with -12- implementing federal law and policy. Alabama thus has no authority to directly regulate in the area of immigration. Nevertheless, the State has enacted such a scheme of regulation, and one that is at odds with the letter and spirit of federal policy. The Alabama statute "departs from our traditional policy of not treating aliens as a thing apart." Hines, 312 U.S. at 73. Taken together, the Alabama provisions do not merely expose aliens to "the possibility of inquisitorial practices and police surveillance," id. at 74, but make unlawful presence a criminal offense, and render unlawfully present aliens a unique class who cannot lawfully obtain housing, enforce a contract, or send their children to school without fear that enrollment will be used as a tool to seek to detain and remove them and their family members. Notwithstanding the State's claim that its actions will further common goals, the challenged provisions, if implemented, would institute fundamental disuniformity and serve only to undermine federal enforcement of the immigration laws and to create difficulties in the conduct of foreign policy- consequences for the whole Nation, including people of the other States. As the Supreme Court has recognized, by inserting itself into immigration matters, "a single State can, at her pleasure, embroil us in disastrous quarrels with other nations." Chy Lung v. Freeman, 92 U.S. 275, 280 (1875). B. The provisions that are the subject of this appeal offend these principles as clearly as those that the district court has properly enjoined. 1. Section 10 imposes state criminal penalties for violations of federal law that -13- requires aliens to carry federal registration papers. It is not controverted that Alabama could not properly enact its own registration scheme. The Supreme Court in Hines considered a predecessor to the current federal registration scheme and explained that Congress had "enacted a complete scheme of regulation and ha[d] therein provided a standard for the registration of aliens, [and] states cannot, inconsistently with the purpose of Congress, conflict or interfere with, curtail or complement, the federal law, or enforce additional or auxiliary regulations." 312 U.S. at 66-67. The district court mistakenly concluded that Alabama had avoided the defects of the state registration requirement that was held invalid by the Supreme Court in Hines because Alabama is imposing new penalties for violations of federal law rather than creating an independent registration requirement. Mem. Op. 23. But the federal registration provisions in the INA are one component of Congress's exercise of its exclusive power over immigration. The State of Alabama has no authority to intrude upon and alter that comprehensive and exclusive federal scheme by adding new requirements or by imposing new penalties to supplement those enacted by Congress. A district court injunction against a virtually identical provision of Arizona law was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit, which explained that "[n]othing in the text of the INA's registration provisions indicates that Congress intended for states to participate in the enforcement or punishment of federal immigration registration rules." Arizona, 641 F.3d at 355. As the Ninth Circuit recognized, it is not within a State's authority to impose -14- penalties for violations of federal law in addition to those deemed appropriate by Congress. That is the case even outside the areas of foreign and immigration policy in which States have no constitutional authority. See, e.g., Wisconsin Department of Industry, LAbor and Human Relations v. Gould, Inc., 475 U.S. 282,286 (1986) (Wisconsin could not prohibit certain violators of the National Labor Relations Act from doing business with the State because states lack authority to provide "their own regulatory or judicial remedies for conduct prohibited or arguably prohibited" by the Act). See also Buckman Co. v. Plaintiffs' Legal Comm., 531 U.S. 341 (2001) (a State could not provide a tort remedy for cla.lms premised on fraud against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration). The Supreme Court emphasized in Crosby v. National Foreign Trade Council, 530 U.S. 363 (2000) that "'conflict is imminent"' when "'two separate remedies are brought to bear on the same activity."' Id. at 380 (quoting Gould, 475 U.S. at 286). That the state scheme may "share the same goals" as federal law, id. at 379, does not legitimize the State's attempt to enact a concurrent remedial or enforcement regime. Alabama's scheme also is contrary to longstanding federal immigration policy. The effect of the statute is to make unlawful presence in the United States a state criminal offense. But as Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns explains, it has been the "uniform" United States policy that "the unlawful presence of a foreign national, without more, ordinarily will not lead to that foreign national's criminal arrest or incarceration, but instead to civil removal proceedings." Bu:t;ns Decl. ~ 35. -15- 2. Section 12 requires all state and local law enforcement officers, who stop an individual for any reason, to verify his or her status whenever there is "reasonable suspicion" that the individual is "unlawfully present." Whenever the individual's status cannot immediately be verified, the officer must contact ICE. Section 12 is virtually identical to a provision of Arizona law that was enjoined by a district court and that injunction was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit. See Arizona, 641 F.3d at 348-54. The district court here concluded, however, that Section 12 passes muster because it "reflects an intent to cooperate with the federal government." Mem. Op. 68. The federal government welcomes the bona fide cooperation that it regularly receives from state and local agencies and individual officers. Section 12 cannot~ however, plausibly · be styled as "cooperation." To the contrary, it radically curbs the discretion of state of~cials to tailor their efforts to respond to federal priorities. By imposing an inflexible mandate for Alabama law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of broad ·categories of people, Section 12 serves as an obstacle in every instance to the ability of individual state and local officers to cooperate with federal officers administering federal policies and discretion as the circumstances of the particular'case require. And because reasonable suspicion of unlawful presence will often exist even for persons who have authorization to remain in the country, Section 12 impermissibly exposes even lawfully present aliens to "the possibility of inquisitorial practices and police surveillance," Hines, 312 U.S. at 74. -16- Section 12 constitutes an impermissible infringement on federal prerogatives even if considered in isolation, but its effects are exacerbated by its interaction with other provisions of H.B. 56. Because Alabama has now created state criminal provisions for federal immigration offenses, Section 12 will apply to persons stopped on suspicion of committing those offenses. In addition, H.B. 56 authorizes citizens to file suits to ensure that officers enforce the statute to the maximum extent possible. See H.B. 56,§ 6(d). 3. Section 18 complements Section 12 by imposing additional specific requirements with respect to all stops of automobiles, and it suffers from the same defects as Section 12. 4. The other provisions at issue here lack even the appearance of efforts to cooperate in the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Section 27 renders contracts with illegal aliens unenforc~able, thus putting the State's imprimatur on a broad range of exploitative practices. Section 30 compounds the Alabama criminal penalty for being unlawfully in the United States by imposing additional criminal penalties for attempting to contract with state and local entities. And Section 28 deters even children who are lawfully present in the United States from attending school by making their enrollment a tool for discovering the status of their parents and family members. Taken together, these provisions, in the words of the legislation's sponsor, "attackO every aspect of an illegal alien's life" and seek "to make it difficult for [aliens] to live here so they will deport themselves." Friedersdorf, supra n.1. By vesting -17- exclusive authority over immigration in the federal government, the Constitution prohibits such conflicting state efforts to drive aliens from one locale to another without regard to the interests of the national government or other States. Notwithstanding Alabama's aspirations to a regime of self-deportation, aliens unlawfully in the United States are, in fact, subject to removal exclusively under procedures specified by federal statute, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(a)(3), and the vast majority of aliens subject to such proceedings are not in federal custody. Rather, the federal government relies upon its ability to locate these individuals through their last known address or telephone number to give them notice of upcoming hearings and other developments in their removal proceedings. Attempts to drive aliens "off the grid" will only impede the removal process established by federal law. Federal immigration enforcement, unlike the Alabama statute, also considers the interest in prosecuting crimes of which aliens are the victims or key witnesses. Alabama's divergent efforts can only obstruct these federal law enforcement activities. Finally, Alabama is not in a position to answer to other nations for the consequences of its policy. That is the responsibility of the federal government, which- speaks for all the States and must ensure that the con;;equences of one State's foray into the realm of immigration law are not visited upon the Nation as a whole. II. The balance of harms and the public interest favor an injunction. The balance of harms and the public interest strongly militate in favor of an -18- injunction pending appeal. The statute i~troduces a host of new criminal penalties and requires inflexible enforcement that is backed with the prospect of citizen suits. The district court correctly recognized, when it enjoined other provisions of H. B. 56, that harms to the national interest outweigh Alabama's desire to create state-specific penalties for unlawfully present aliens that seek or perform work, for employers who hire them, or for persons who "harbor" such aliens by, for example, renting them an apartment. See, e.g., Mem. Op. 50-51, ("To allow Section 11(a) to take effect would be to allow a law of Alabama to be 'supreme' over federal law; this is an irreparable constitutional injury."); id. at 84, 90, 97 (same). The district court erred, however, when it.failed to apply this same analysis to the other provisions of H.B. 56, which equally intrude into the federal government's exclusive control over the federal immigration laws. The statute has the purpose, and has already begun to have the effect, of driving aliens from the State of Alabama, thus imposing burdens on other States. Once these effects have been achieved, they cannot be undone by judicial order. Similarly, the sweeping scheme is highly likely to expose persons lawfully in the United States, including school children, to new difficulties in routine dealings with private persons and the State. It will likely subject lawfully present aliens to heightened scrutiny by law enforcement officers anxious to comply with the strict statutory mandates. The impact on our dealings with other nations is similarly clear. The declaration -19- of Deputy Secretary of State Burns explains that enforcement of H.B. 56 "would result in lasting harm to U.S. foreign relations and foreign policy interests." Burns Decl. ~ 5. See general!J Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, 130 S. Ct. 2705, 2727 (2010) (State Department assessment to be accorded deference). By requiring state and local officers to report all persons w1thout adequate credentials to ICE, the statute also unnecessarily diverts resources from federal enforcement priorities and precludes state and local officials from working in true cooperation with federal officials. · Finally, other States and their citizens are poorly served by the Alabama policy, which seeks to drive aliens from Alabama rather than achieve cooperation with the federal government to resolve a national problem in a manner consistent with the full range of national interests. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, this Court should enjoin the operation of Sections 10, 12(a), 18, 27, 28, and 30 of H.B. 56 pending appeal. The United States also respectfully requests that the Court issue a temporary injunction against these provisions pending resolution of this motion, and asks the Court to consider this appeal on an expedited basis.

Publicity surrounding the implementation of patient decision support interventions (DESIs) traditionally focuses on two areas of improvement: helping patients make better decisions AND lowering health care spending. The use of patient decision support interventions as a means to generate health care savings has been widely advocated, but the extent and quality of evidence is unclear.
A systematic review found that the evidence for savings was not as broad or deep as suspected. In addition, an examination of the quality of the economic analyses in the studies was performed. Not surprisingly for a young field, the quality has room for improvement. An assessment of the risk of bias in each study found a moderate to high risk across the studies that found savings.
Led by Thom Walsh, a post-doctoral fellow at the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science, the team included Paul James Barr and Rachel Thompson, also postdoctoral fellows at the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science, Elissa Ozanne, associate professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice, Ciaran O'Neill, professor at the School of Business and Economics, National University of Ireland, and Glyn Elwyn, professor at both the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science and the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice.
Their objective was to perform a detailed systematic review of a wide range of studies to assess DESIs' potential to generate savings, given a concern that premature or unrealistic expectations could jeopardize wider implementation and lead to the loss of the already proven benefits. The ethical imperative to inform patients is, in the authors' views, paramount. Although there is good evidence to show that patients tend to choose more conservative approaches when they become better informed, there is insufficient evidence, as yet, to be confident that the implementation of patient decision supp

|harshadmeena: What are your expectations from tomorrow`s budget?
|Latha Venkatesh: I have hopes rather than expectations. I hope the deficit is cut. I hope we cut our subsidies, but this cant be done in the budget. The budget will only annoucne a lower bill. The govt has to keep hiking fuel prices. Also I expect they will cut plan expenses. Doubt they will raise too many taxes..May be only excise duties will go up from 12% to 14%
|pnjkrishnan: Madam, Based on the Economic survey report what one can expect from the FM, Direct tax and Indirect tax and black money ?
|Latha Venkatesh: You cant make such guesses from the Eco Survey. That document merely states the position of the economy as of now. I suspect he is going to increase indirect taxes. I doubt he will do anything to control black money. But he may be able to goad the tax authorities to sue their technology to cross check and cath more evaders. Again this is a matter of tax adminsitration. The budget cant do much about it.
|ihalder001: Everytime govt do something called reforms & tell that effect will see in near future. But why we see so much of BPL people, uneducated, unhealthy people even after 20 years of first reform ?
|Latha Venkatesh: I completely agree. What it means is we have poor governance.But reform has reduced some kind of problems. I dont know if you were around 20 years ago. We had only MTNL telephones and their corrupt linemen used to deliberately keep your lines dead and extract money. After the "reform" that is getting pvt sector into telecom, we could make calls on our mobiles at 15 paise. You may argue that techonolgy is more useful than reform. I wont dispute that.
|harshadmeena: Hello madam, what do you think were the key takeaways from economic survey?
|Latha Venkatesh: That we were wrong in cutting taxes and itnerst rates soon after the Lehman crisis. That along with poor infrastructure pushed up inflation. The answer now is to cut deficit. That is, govt expenditure must not overshoot govt revenues. Also we need to charge the right price for disel and petrol and LPG so that people consume it sensibly . A reduction in such consumption ( because of the higher prices) will bring down our oil import bill. These are the main takeaways from the survey.
|prmaisha: cant we lift out all the taxes & only impose 50% tax on industries of their profit & income of individuals exceeding 5,000,000
|Latha Venkatesh: No we cant. This is not a year when we can forego taxes. We need the money. Secondly, dont be under the impression that you can bring about equiality through the tax system. You can`t.You will only increase the "black" economy.
|sanjeevsamal: only 2 issues warrant attention, fiscal deficit & current account deficit
|Latha Venkatesh: I agree. I would say they warrant maximum attention. Faster adminsitrative clearances are also impt.
|sampadyam: Why a fall in domestic saving led to widening current account deficit?
|Latha Venkatesh: When savigns fall, banks get fewer deposits. They have to pay higher interest on deposits, so they charge higher on the loans they give. Indian business men prefer borrowing from aboroad. Either they take foreign currency loans or exporters and importers take suppliers credit from their counterparts.In tehse and other ways a fall in savigns gets filled in by higher cash flows from abroad.
|pradeep41430: IS THERE ANY POSITIVE MOVE IN BUDGET FOR REALITY SECTOR
|Latha Venkatesh: I doubt it.I hope they are serious about a real estate regulator. But you dont need a budget to introduce such a regulator.
|kumarrajesh21: hi Lata I am very impressed with ur style of anchoring u appear to be very knowledgeable what r ur expectations from the budget and do u think market will make a upmove after the budget
|Latha Venkatesh: Thank you. I expect the budget will make a bold statement on cutting subsidies, and even some plan expenses. But that doesnt mean the markets can rejoice too much...This is for two reasons: one: when govts spend less in the short run the economy suffers. If the govt spends 100 rupees less, the economic output will fall by 55 rupees. Logivcally , therefore a cut in govt expsnes while welcome in the long run, will immediately reduce corproate profits and hence stk markets will fall may be after a lag of a few days. Secondly, mkts also respond to global trends. If the global investors are running away from equities for reasons unconnected to India, our budget can`t stop that.
|pnjkrishnan: Madam, Why is economic survey is silent on SALE of few PSU ? especially loss making Ratanas, Govt can get good amount by way of selling loss making PSU? Your views,
|Latha Venkatesh: No Sir, govt can`t make much money or indeed any money by selling loss making units. Also there will be political backlash. The loss making units could have politically powerful labour unions who may sabotage the working of the company altogetherbecause they dont want to move from govt to a private employer who may simply discard unprofitable divisions. Divestment isn`t all that easy.
|daddy22: What does the economic survey say about the burgeoning current account deficit ?
|Latha Venkatesh: It is extremely worries about the current account deficit. Says we have pay the correct price for fuels : for diesel, LPG petrol and kerosese. At higher prices we will economise our consumption and our import bill will come down. That`s one cler way to reduce curr acct deficit.
|sendvr: everyone keeps talking about how bad the state of economy is etc, but all the parameters that measure health of the economy are not too bad,compared to our global peers. Is is just about news channels sessationalising economic matters?
|Latha Venkatesh: When a person earning 20,000 dollars a years sees his growth dropping to 1% or 2%, his income is growing by only 200 to 400 dollars a year. When a person earning 700 dollars grows by 4% instead of 8%, his annual income increases by 28 dollars, against 56 dollars previously. That hurts a lot. We need to see the base. Percentages hide a lot. Comparing India with the european and otehr developed countries is tricky. We have to be pained by our slower growth because at curent levels we are desperately poor by any standard. The west needs to be less concerned about their slowdown, because the current level is not a desperately bad one.
|daddy22: Will the budget tomorrow reflect the concerns laid out in the economic survey ?
|Latha Venkatesh: Yes sure it will.
|pnjkrishnan: Madam, Inflation is eating Middle class savings, Why no suggestion in the Economic survey for beating inflation with higher returns products.
|Latha Venkatesh: It`s not the survey`s job to suggest products. But it has highlighted the disastrous impact of inflation. Something may come in the budget to encourage savings.
|rnp_111: Hello mam, do you expect anything good from Union Budget for "Aam Adami".?
|Latha Venkatesh: No sir. In the short run, if it is a good budget, all of us suffer. In the longer run, if it is a good budget, the aam aadmi will be faced with lower inflation and eventually better job prospects.
|s25: How do u see this budget for Indian Economy ?
|Latha Venkatesh: It can take the economy futher downhill or it can stop the slide somewhat.

...building hybrid clouds that can support any device from anywhere
Contoso Labs Series - Table of Contents
Now that we've got our JBODs and our file servers, we need to tackle an underappreciated aspect of this solution: The SAS connectivity itself.
After discussing our configuration and layout with folks inside of Microsoft with serious experience in Storage Spaces, we learned that having as much connectivity to our JBODs as possible was going to be the ideal configuration. Our planned SOFS cluster was 3 file servers with full connectivity to 3 JBODs. Each JBOD has dual controllers, each controller with 3 SAS ports. That meant we could provide full dual-path access from each server, to each JBOD, for a total of 18 connections.
In practical terms, that meant we needed six external SAS ports in each file server. That started limiting our options for SAS controllers. There are many 2-port cards out there, and a smaller selection of 4-port ones. No one makes a 6-port card. That meant we were definitely going to need to commit both of our PCIe slots to SAS controllers. We briefly considered a 4-port and a 2-port card, but decided that consistency and symmetry were useful here. One driver, and losing a card loses 1 path to each JBOD, instead of potentially losing all access to 1 of them. We chose cards from LSI for our solution.
We selected LSI 9206-16e cards for our SAS connectivity. These cards checked all the right boxes for us.
The only drawback we could find with using these cards is that they have SFF-8644 connectors on them. These are lesser-used small form factor connectors than the more well-known SFF-8088 type you might be familiar with on most SAS equipment. The smaller size means 4 ports can fit comfortably on a half-height card, where the larger SFF-8088's would be too large. That meant getting specialized cabling, a minor hassle at worst.
Now that we have all the pieces of our storage puzzle identified, we can build out some file server clusters and get down to business, right? Well, not quite yet. When time comes to put everything together, we'll have a lot more information about our storage configuration, and some information about how it's all working. Next up, we'll circle back to our purchasing decisions, specifically the network gear.
Hi, Carmen!You've choose DNS-1600 JBOD, but it has only two In-ports per controller (third is Out-port just for expansion chaining). So, only two host can be connected to single JBOD using dual-path connection. Can you, please, explain, how would you connect three servers to these JBODs?
@Dmitry Interesting that you caught that! Since these devices are straightforward SAS JBODs, the Out-port can be used as another direct SAS connection to an HBA, just as the other two ports are. We confirmed that this works and is supported with DataON before we made the purchase. After wiring it up with straight connections, everything works perfectly.
Thanks for clarification, Carmen! We're using hardware from Supermicro, which used to have one In- and two Out-ports.Unfortunately our supplier can't say for sure that connecting HBAs to Out ports will work at all :( Will ask them again more insistently. Hopefully, it will work... Really looking forward to the next posts, especially about storage spaces design and tests!
@Demonixed - In theory, for the device to work and be certified, any "Out" port should work just fine. Of course, if your vendor hasn't tested it and won't support it, that'd make me very nervous for production purposes. That's why I make sure to check with DataON before we purchased.

Norichika Aoki hit an inside-the-park home run for Milwaukee in the fourth, the first major league homer for the former Japanese baseball batting champion. Aoki added a double and scored a run in the sixth. Todd Helton hit his second home run of the season and Troy Tulowitzki had a single and an RBI double for the Rockies. Ryan Braun went 0 for 3 but did reach base when he was hit by a pitch. Braun is 0 for 14 in the first four games of the Brewers' current homestand. Rafael Betancourt pitched the ninth for his fourth save, leaving a runner on third base.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Paola Happy Fun Jeans Bought these in size 26 which is my normal size in most jeans....these fit really well...maybe just a tiny bit roomy in the waist just afraid if i go down a size the legs will be too tight....I thought maybe i was too old for these but they are so friggn adorable...i need to get them shortened but i think on me if i give them a normal hem (not the fringe at bottom) will look better on me...so i'm ok with not having fringe.....just a cool fun look. LOVE! 7.2.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fpevelyn love love love after selling a couple pairs and seeing how flattering these were on several customers, i decided to buy these flares for myself! couldn't be happier, they fit true to size & create an amazing shape. 6.27.2014
