$75,000 a year with benefits; no college needed. Yet local employers can’t fill jobs
Via Billy
Miami is a city with an ever changing skyline. And those who make it happen — the plumbers, electricians, brick masons and carpenters — earn far above the local median: $55,000-75,000 a year with full benefits and a pension.
But as the economy barrels toward full employment, local contractors are struggling to find enough skilled workers to fuel the construction boom.
“We’re seeing it across the board. There are shortages in every trade,” said Peter Dyga, president of the South Florida-based Florida East Coast Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, a non-profit trade organization comprised of several construction firms and contractors.

Raspberry Pi Project and Security/Intel Gathering
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is slightly larger than a deck of cards and weighs just 2 ounces. It packs a 64-bit quad core processor running at 1.4GHz with 1 GB ram, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth, sound, and great graphics. It also provides 4 USB 2.0 ports, an RJ-45 ethernet connector and an HDMI port. The operating system is Raspian - a Debian Linux based system , and is stored comfortably on a 32 GB micro SD card. Comes with a power supply for only $35. It will easily let you surf the web, run a word processor, play a game, design electrical circuits, and watch YouTube videos all day long. And with a few inexpensive add-ons, it can also be a ballistics calculator or the brains for your killer drone. What's not to like about it and why don't you have half a dozen of these already?

Illegal immigrants who exploited Motor Voter to register in North Carolina still on rolls
Via John
Elvis David Fullerton has voted in 16 elections in North Carolina dating back nearly two decades.
The only problem, authorities say, is he’s not a citizen and never should have been on the voter rolls, much less allowed to step into a polling booth to cast a ballot.
Mr. Fullerton, who is still a citizen of Grenada, is one of 19 North Carolinians the federal government indicted last month on charges of illegal voting. Yet even now, his name remains on the state’s rolls in Wake County, and local officials say there’s not much they can do about it.
