2/3: Social Justice Tuesday – "Green Building" with Nicole DaNamur from Pacifica Law Group
Nicole is a LEED® Green Associate™ and has a passion for the intersection of green building, sustainability, and the law. She has presented on her holistic and proactive approach to the legal issues associated with high-performing buildings, and advocates for developing greater connections between the legal community and the sustainability community.
Sustainable "green" building has seemed to the be the domain of the wealthy but in fact it is a basic human right for everyone to be able to live, work and be educated in buildings that are not full of carcinogens and other chemicals leading to chronic long term health impacts.
Equitable sustainable in work and living spaces should belong to everyone but we may need a revolution in our thinking and work to make it happen. Come to this talk in room 127 at 12:30p to understand the relationship of sustainable building to the broader movement for social justice.

2/5: NLG Hosts a Legal Observer Training at UW Law
The National Lawyers Guild will be coming this Thursday 2/5 from 8:30-10:30 in room 118 to facilitate a training for law students on Legal Observing. Legal observers watch and record the actions of the police during demonstrations and their presence often deters police brutality. The information they collect is vital to court proceedings and legal actions that may arise as a result of unconstitutional actions by the police. Legal observers have been playing a major role in the recent demonstrations in Seattle regarding the #blacklivesmatter movement and it's a great way to put our law school privilege to use in the community.

Our theme for the 2015 conference is "Diversity is Good Business".
2/6-2/7: Don't forget the Northwest Public Service Career Fair
For twenty-five years, the NW Public Service Career Fair has linked law students & alumni with opportunities to make a difference.

Help today's clients and inspire tomorrow's justice seekers.
In the morning during the Table Talk portion of the fairs, employers are available to talk to students who approach their tables. This is a great opportunity for students to find out more about what different organizations do, to find out about a particular area of the law, to get a feel for different office cultures, and perhaps to impress someone enough to get hired. There are always employers who participate in the table talk but not in the pre-scheduled interviews. Table talk is not a formal interview, but it is a time for employers to meet and connect based on shared interests. There will also be interviews happening for students who submitted application material by the January 19 deadline.

She has written about prosecutorial decision making, community policing and non-punitive responses to crime problems, and the criminal law's treatment of domestic violence, both in punishing batterers and in explaining the conduct of battered women.
Before joining the law school faculty in 2001, Professor Burke served as a deputy district attorney in Portland, Oregon, where she tried more than 30 criminal cases, primarily against domestic violence offenders, and helped innovate neighborhood-based prosecution methods.

Don't miss this opportunity! Make sure to register for new online Racial Justice Training Institute trainings
With recent events in Ferguson, Staten Island, and elsewhere, our nation is at a pivotal moment in understanding and addressing issues of race, implicit bias, and the structural barriers that marginalize communities of color. It is more important than ever for equal justice advocates to refocus their efforts to affirmatively advance racial equity.
Following the success of the inaugural 2014 Racial Justice Training Institute, the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law is pleased to announce the 2015 Racial Justice Training Institute. By placing the most up-to-date racial justice tools in the hands of front line advocates, the Institute provides real opportunities to address the impacts of structural racialization and ensure that race is front and center in our efforts to eradicate poverty in the communities we serve.
The Institute will cover a wide range of equity best practices ranging from traditional litigation and policy advocacy, to media and messaging, to the latest debiasing strategies. Working in teams, and with support from skilled faculty and facilitators, participants will use new racial justice knowledge and skills in their daily work and in the race-equity initiatives that teams will pursue throughout the Institute.
Taking place over six months (June—November 2015), the Institute includes three parts:
PART 1: Online (June 1—June 19, 2015)
PART 2: Onsite in Chicago (June 23-26, 2015)
PART 3: Online (July – November 2015)
Up to 35 advocates will be selected for the second Institute cohort based on a variety of factors, including experience, interest, goals, capacity, and racial and geographic diversity.

The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights (RFK Center) was founded as a living memorial to Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. Ever since, the RFK Center has honored journalists, authors, and human rights activists who, often at great personal risk and sacrifice, are on the frontlines of the international movement for human rights and social justice. Partnering with these courageous and innovative human rights defenders, RFK Partners for Human Rights is the litigation, advocacy, and capacity-building arm of the RFK Center. Combining a rights-based approach and extended multi-year partnerships with the RFK Award Laureates and other human rights activists, RFK Partners for Human Rights leverages its legal expertise, resources, and prestige to advance social justice goals around the world.
In 2011, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights established the Donald M. Wilson Fellowship program to provide a position at the RFK Center to one outstanding recent law school graduate each year. Donald M.

Sock Monkey Treasury: A "Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey" Collection
Tony Millionaire
Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey is one of the great all-ages comics properties of the new millennium, spawning plush dolls, TV appearances, lunch boxes, Zippo lighters and more. Now, for the first time, all twelve of multiple Eisner Award-winner Tony Millionaire's acclaimed Sock Monkey all-ages comic books (1998-2007, originally published by Dark Horse Comics) are collected under one cover, as well as the full-color graphic novella "Uncle Gabby" (2004) and the full-color illustrated storybook, "The Glass Doorknob" (2002), ready to be devoured by a new generation of young readers.
The precocious sock monkey Uncle Gabby and his innocent pal Mr. Crow are the heroes of this funny, unsettling and endearing collection. Follow them as they try to find a home for a shrunken head, play matchmakers between the bat in the doll's house and the mouse in the basement, unlock the mysteries of a glass doorknob, hunt salamanders, try to get to heaven, and much more.
The book also includes the only full-length Sock Monkey graphic novel, "The Inches Incident." Inches the doll was the cutest in the whole house and loved by everyone. Then one day... Inches turned EVIL! What will Mr. Crow and Uncle Gabby do? Beloved by adults and children, Sock Monkey harkens back to a time when comics actually were for kids.
32-page excerpt (download 7.7 MB PDF):
"LOVE the new giant Sock Monkey collection. Super excited because I missed a few of these — including that AMAZING looking last story." – Mike Mignola
Praise for Billy Hazelnuts and Tony Millionaire:
"No one rides the edge between charming and demented quite like Maakies cartoonist Millionaire, and he's in hilariously fine form here." – Ian Chipman, Booklist
"...evokes the anything-goes child-logic found in darker fairy tales and the Oz stories with a pinch of Lewis Carroll thrown in for the sheer bizarreness of it all. Millionaire sweeps the reader along with the protagonists through encounters with a seeing-eye skunk, a search for where the moon disappeared to and a blistering sea battle between a matter-expanded toy replica of Noah's Ark — complete with two-by-two animals at the helm — and a flying pirate ship crewed by robotic buccaneer alligators." – Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Drawing in his established manner, with blocky, medieval-woodcut-like figures in action against intricate, frequently gorgeous land-, sea-, and cloudscapes, Millionaire fashions a tale as disquieting-comforting and psychologically ambiguous as anything the Grimms ever recorded." – Booklist
"Like Joe Strummer, like Prince Buster and more grandly, John Wayne, Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll, some aliases simply announce the true personality and imaginative potential of the bearer. Tony Millionaire is no exception..." – Elvis Costello
"Tony Millionaire is making misanthropy feel good again. Take this book for instance. He put the word 'hazelnuts' in the title, knowing that my son is deathly allergic to them, and I still think it's funny." – Andy Richter
"Tony Millionaire is worth a thousand Tony Thousandaires. He's concocted a crazy potion with this mixture of Maakies and Sock Monkey." – Conan O'Brien
"I think Tony Millionaire can only do important things." – Dave Eggers
black & white w/color
"My eyes get lost in the beauty of Tony Millionaire's drawings, his humor cuts me apart. It's a cool feeling, funny beauty, it's my favorite feeling. Tony Millionaire is funny and pretty. MAAKIES is booze for the soul." - Pendleton Ward

Motor vehicle accidents: Hit-and-run kills Raleigh teenager | Ledbetter & Titsworth, P.A.
Reportedly, law enforcement identified the vehicle and its driver. The 62-year-old man was soon arrested. He now faces felony hit-and-run charges along with obstruction of justice for leaving the scene of a crash that led to serious injury or death. A guilty verdict on these charges will help the teenager's loved ones if they choose to pursue financial relief through the North Carolina civil justice system.
However, surviving family members of those who die in motor vehicle accidents that were caused by the negligence of others can file wrongful death lawsuits regardless of the outcome of a criminal case. An experienced Raleigh personal injury attorney can be an invaluable advocate for the plaintiffs. With the support and guidance of legal counsel, a monetary judgment might be entered to cover documented claims for economic and noneconomic damages.

Brave New Foundation, Rachel Maddow think you're gullible (FAIR, immigration, SB1070) - 04/25/12

Why "Contract for the American Dream" is a sham (Van Jones, MoveOn, Rebuild the Dream) - 08/10/11
Van Jones, MoveOn, and a host of other groups [1] have teamed up to offer the "Contract for the American Dream", which consists of "10 Critical Steps to Get Our Economy Back on Track" (contract.rebuildthedream.com).
Delusional John Hinderaker thinks only left engages in "personal intimidation" - 05/12/11
John Hinderaker of Powerline offers "The Politics of Personal Intimidation" [1] in which he's yet again delusional: A disturbing new element has crept into our political life: organized efforts to intimidate private citizens who choose to support certain political causes or otherwise participate in civic affairs... [examples of leftists swarming houses of their opponents and much more deleted] ...Conservatives are decent people and don't engage in such repugnant tactics. The last sentence of the excerpt [2] would only make sense if Hinderaker had never heard of the tea parties. Since he's...
George Soros gives $5 million to push Obamacare (HCAN, NCLR, ACORN, SEIU, etc...) - 08/11/09
George Soros has contributed $5 million to the group Health Care For America Now (healthcareforamericanow.org) so that they can push Obamacare. That's dwarfed by the $35 million he's giving to help/"help" children in New York (in partnership with the federal government, [1]). As discussed here, HCAN is considered a bit on the wimpy side by the far-left, such as Jane Hamsher. That's despite HCAN including some true "liberal" stalwarts. Their steering committee includes the following: * ACORN * AFL CIO * American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) * Campaign for...
Open Debate Coalition: a failed format for fake debates - 09/26/08
The "Open Debate Coalition" - a group consisting of people such as Glenn Reynolds ("Instapundit") and Stanford law professor Larry Lessig [1] - is calling on John McCain and Barack Obama to open the presidential debates by allowing questions chosen by regular people and not just the MSM. However, what they support has not only been proven to be a failure, but two of the signatories helped show how such formats can be gamed and another was involved with the system that was gamed.
John McCain ad was right and Barack Obama, MSM misled about BHO's kindergartener sex education bill - 09/16/08
Earlier this month the John McCain campaign released an ad (link, video link) saying in part: "Obama's one accomplishment? Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. This has led to a wide variety of BHO supporters - specifically those in the MSM - calling McCain a liar. To a certain extent, they have somewhat of a point: the bill might not be an "accomplishment" for BHO since he was just a supporter and not a co-sponsor and since it never passed. And, the McCain campaign might not have correctly...
Open Letter to The Nation about their Open Letter to Barack Obama (immigration) - 08/25/08

A Dream Deferred: Robert Greenwald/Brave New Films supports anti-American DREAM Act - 03/28/08
Earlier I noted that Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films was going to start producing immigration documentaries. Their first is a video (link) and site (adreamdeferred.org) supporting the DREAM Act, one of the most anti-American pieces of legislation ever devised. It would let illegal aliens take college discounts and slot from U.S.
Brave New Films: Robert Greenwald attacks Fox News "virus" - 03/16/08
Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films has a new crusade: trying to stop the Fox News "virus" that supposedly spreads from Fox to the rest of the MSM, specifically as it relates to criticism of Barack Obama. Their foxattacks.com/virus page makes it clear that, if Greenwald had his way, Fox would be off the air: Fox is a Republican mouthpiece, not a legitimate news organization.
Brave New Films immigration documentary will lie to you - 01/23/08
Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films is apparently going to make one or more documentaries about immigration, attempting to strike at those who support enforcement of our laws.
Rudy Giuliani afraid of citizen journalists (Brave New Films) - 09/30/07
Brave New Films is a sleazy [1], left-wing organization, akin to the low-rent Hollywoodish version of ThinkProgress. A few days ago, John Ehrenfeld from that site tried to attend [2] a Rudy Giuliani appearance, only to be kicked out apparently after Guiliani staffers learned who he was with.
Dreams Across America: all aboard the pro-illegal immigration train - 06/14/07
"Dreams Across America" [1] is the latest stunt from supporters of a massive illegal alien amnesty, consisting of about 100 people taking a train Washington DC to lobby for "reform".
You call these celebrities? - 12/10/02
Via LGF (link right) the full text of the celeb letter of support to Saddam is here. The cumulative number of months that these people haven't worked is probably well into the 4 figures, as they say in Hollywood. And, how did these has-beens find out about the letter? Is there a celebrity mailing list? Did they put up a poster at the unemployment office? You might ask, who cares what some celebrities think? Well, unfortunately, celebrities do have an influence on society.

Trivium's Matt Heafy has turned Wellerman into a metal song, because he's Matt Heafy
It was only a matter of time before Trivium's Matt Heafy added riffs and blastbeats to everyone's favourite sea shanty
As the sea shanty craze continues to spiral across the internet, this time the bizarre trend has landed in the capable hands of Trivium's Matt Heafy, who sang, produced and played along to his own metal version of the Wellerman to over 83 thousand people on Twitch.
Heafy's version may start off like your usual shanty, but is soon joined by a chorus of blast beats and mammoth riffing, because really, that's what every sea shanty needs — a good ol' dosing of heavy metal.
If you're wondering what strange memes may be next in the line for the internet to obsess over, maybe check with Matt Heafy, as he already shredded along to Sea Shanty 2 from Runescape two years on his YouTube channel.
Heafy's next session will stream this Friday from 10am PT / 1pm ET, where he'll be premiering his collab with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, who will be producing the track live.
Check out Heafy's sea shanty below:

What do you remember from Greenwich Village and Fire Island in the 70s and 80s?

interviews with author
Jeffrey Sharlach
on publication of
Running in Bed
Jeffrey Sharlach became a widower at age 40. That was when Ken Williams, his lover, best friend and life-partner of 13 years, succumbed to AIDS at 34. The year was 1994, not long after the couple decided to leave New York City for Miami. For years, AIDS had spread mercilessly through the gay communities in America's urban centers before anyone knew of its existence and by 1993, the devastating disease had become the leading cause of death among persons 25 to 44 years old in the United Statesi.
With friends sick and dying, and as his partner's health waned, Sharlach worried about how he'd be able to get the necessary care in the walk-up apartment where they lived in New York's Greenwich Village. And his career had also taken a turn of uncertainty as his boss and mentor, the CEO of the international public relations agency where he worked, had been forced out by the marketing conglomerate which owned the firm.
He decided it was time to change his life. He resigned his high-paying New York PR agency position and moved with Ken to Miami Beach where he planned to teach college students, do some PR consulting work from home, and work on the novel he had talked about writing for many years.
Sharlach did begin teaching in the School of Communications at University of Miami in 1993, and with Miami fast-developing as the business capital of Latin America at the time, found more than enough work to keep busy with the consulting business he set up in the living room of his new Miami Beach apartment. In fact there was so much work, that he resigned his teaching post less than a year later. And plans for the novel were put on hold.
Although hoping the relaxed pace and better weather would be helpful to Ken, he passed away not long after leaving New York. In his grief, Sharlach poured his energy into his consulting business. He moved it out of his apartment, hired his first employee, and today JeffreyGroup, with five offices is the leading independent PR and marketing agency targeting Latin America and US Hispanic audiences.
It was more than 15 years later though that he finally got around to writing that novel, Running in Bed, which is being published May, 2012, by Two Harbors Press.
Jeffrey Sharlach was born in Stamford, Connecticut in 1953, the oldest of three children to parents also born in Stamford, a suburb of New York City. His father was a businessman, running a small chain of retail stores and his mother was a homemaker. It was a typical suburban, upbringing in 1950's United States: a country brimming at the time with unbridled optimism, growing wealth and new opportunities. Still beneath the bright surface there were darker rumblings of the nascent African-American civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and for Sharlach, his own personal struggle with homosexuality.
Sharlach kept his sexual urges well under wraps as he attended the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University (B.S.J., 1974) and then the New York University School of Law (J.D., 1977). He never practiced law though and after graduation from law school returned to being a full-time as a news writer and producer at WINS radio in New York where he had worked part-time during law school.
He was only there for a few months when a recruiter called him about a job in the TV-Radio department of a major international PR firm, Carl Byoir & Associates. He started work there in August, 1977, the beginning of marketing and public relations career which continues today. Following Carl Byoir, he also worked at Burson-Marsteller, Hill & Knowlton and Saatchi & Saatchi before founding JeffreyGroup in 1993.
He came out as a gay man at 24 shortly after beginning work at his first full time job following graduation in 1977. He was living in New York's Greenwich Village, still basking in the golden glow of the post Stonewall decade before the darkness of AIDS descended. His early single years were spent in the heyday of disco and clubs like Studio 54 and The Saint. It was at a club, The Last Resort on First Avenue that that he met his first partner, Ken Williams, a social worker, in 1981 and they were together until Ken's death in 1994.
Sharlach continued to live in Miami nurturing the growth of JeffreyGroup as the firm opened offices in Buenos Aires, Mexico City and São Paulo. As the agency expanded to target U.S. Hispanic consumers, the opening of a New York office, finally provided him with the opportunity to move back to the city he loved. In 2007, he was appointed Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Management Communication at the NYU Stern School of Business where he currently teaches as well as continuing to serve as CEO of JeffreyGroup.

Janie Bress - My North Shore Blog: Discover Chicago's North Shore This Weekend!
Discover Chicago's North Shore This Weekend!
Spring is a beautiful time of year along Chicago's North Shore. Budding trees, warm breezes and vibrant colors have brought a fresh sense of excitement to cities such as Winnetka, Northbrook, Glencoe, Highland Park and Deerfield. If you live in one of these great communities you're probably already finding ways to get out and enjoy the latest season.
For those of you who haven't yet settled into Chicago's North Shore, but are considering buying a North Shore home this spring; you may be planning a trip to discover what the North Shore has to offer. As a North Shore Real Estate agent for a number of years, I can attest that spring is one of the best times to buy a North Shore home. Given the current buyers market, as well as low mortgage rates and home prices; now is an ideal time to begin searching for a home in the North Shore.
If you're planning on visiting the North Shore this weekend to get a better feel for this north of Chicago area, or you're a North Shore resident and looking for something to do this weekend; I've listed a few events you may want to check out!
- If you have a green thumb or just want to learn more about caring for your lawn and garden, don't miss the Lawn & Landscape Summit at the beautiful Chicago Botanic Garden this Saturday. You'll learn eco-friendly and natural methods for lawn and landscape care, as well as being able to hear from landscape experts during question and answer sessions. A naturally healthy lawn will be the theme of this event which is co-presented by Calcium Products and the Lawn to Lake program. Purchase tickets and learn more at the Lawn & Landscape Summit website.
- The Doggy Egg Hunt is a great way to meet other dog owners and pups in the North Shore! Winnetka's Park District is hosting this even for the first time this coming Saturday and will be great fun for pooches and people alike! Plastic eggs filled with dog treats will be hidden all over Centennial Park for canines to find. Dogs participating will receive a "doggy bag" to commemorate this fun filled morning. The under 30 lb part will begin at 9am and the over 30 lb at 10am. The cost for this event is $5 for current Centennial Dog Beach passholders and $10 for non passholders. For more information contact the Winnetka Park District at 847-501-2040.
Both of these fun events are worth taking part in and will be sure to give you insight into the North Shore culture and community! I always enjoy pointing out events taking place in the North Shore since buying a home is much more than the home itself; it's also about the lifestyle of the area in which you live.
If you have any questions about North Shore living or are ready to take the next towards buying a home in the North Shore; please contact me! I would enjoy helping you discover the North Shore and find the home that fits your needs and lifestyle perfectly.

Q: Gulp not executing the zip task I'm a newcomer to the gulp world, and hence I'm still baby-stepping how to troubleshoot this thing.
The issue: the zip task is being skipped, even being defined in the 'default' task.
Where/what am I missing?
More details
The gulp zip runs fine when specified in the command line (there is no eg; syntax error, and the output is being produced as expected):
$ gulp zip
[16:49:41] Using gulpfile ~/Work/........../gulpfile.js
[16:49:41] Starting 'zip'...
[16:49:41] Finished 'zip' after 11 ms
$

However, when running gulp (without any additional arguments, which means the default is chosen):
$ gulp
[16:49:34] Using gulpfile ~/Work/........../gulpfile.js
[16:49:34] Starting 'clean'...
[16:49:34] Finished 'clean' after 35 ms
...
...
[16:49:36] Finished 'minify-css' after 750 ms
[16:49:36] Starting 'build'...
[16:49:36] Finished 'build' after 2.1 μs
$

The zip task is being skipped (!?)
Checking the 'default' task definition:
gulp.task('default', ['clean'], function () {
  gulp.start('build');
});

And the `build' task is defined as:
gulp.task('build', ['html', 'images', 'fonts', 'misc', 'i18n', 'swagger', 'minify-js', 'minify-css', 'zip']);

Look the zip task  listed in the end of the array.
Finally, the zip task is defined as:
gulp.task('zip', function () {
  var packageName = 'whatever';
  var dateString = now.getFullYear()+('0'+(parseInt(now.getMonth())+1)).substr(-2)+('0'+now.getDate()).substr(-2);
  var timeString = ('0'+now.getHours()).substr(-2)+('0'+now.getMinutes()).substr(-2)+('0'+now.getSeconds()).substr(-2);
  gulp.src('target/dist/**')
    .pipe(zip(packageName+'-'+dateString+'.'+timeString+'.zip'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('target'));
  return;
});

Any help [pointing the direction] will be greatly appreciated.

A: One more lesson learned!
Gulp, by default, runs as much as possible the tasks in asynchronous fashion - unless you've taken the appropriate measures to force it to run the tasks in a sequential manner.
Having this said, the zip task was indeed executed - but it was executed way earlier than I was expecting - hence I was [incorrectly] assuming it didn't ran at all.
Therefore, instead of adding the 'zip' task as one more task that the 'build' task depends on, I made the 'zip' task to depend on the 'build' task, and have the 'default' task run the 'zip' task:
gulp.task('zip', function () {
  var packageName = 'whatever';
  var dateString = now.getFullYear()+...
  var timeString = ('0'+now.getHours()).substr(-2)+...
  gulp.src('target/dist/**')
    .pipe(zip(packageName+'-'+dateString+'.'+timeString+'.zip'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('target'));
  return;
});

gulp.task('build', ['html', 'images', 'fonts', 'misc', 'i18n', 'swagger', 'minify-js', 'minify-css']);

gulp.task('default', ['clean'], function () {
  //gulp.start('build');
  gulp.start('zip');
});

After these changes, the build started to work as expected:
$ gulp
[17:04:59] Using gulpfile ~/Work/ij-wksp/smiles-password-form-Q1_2017/gulpfile.js
[17:04:59] Starting 'clean'...
[17:04:59] Finished 'clean' after 45 ms
[17:04:59] Starting 'default'...
[17:04:59] Starting 'wiredep'...
[17:04:59] Starting 'injector:css'...
[17:04:59] Starting 'scripts'...
[17:05:00] Starting 'version'...
[17:05:00] Starting 'consolidate:jade:app'...
[17:05:00] Starting 'consolidate:jade:scripts'...
...
[17:05:01] Finished 'html' after 233 ms
[17:05:01] Starting 'build'...
[17:05:01] Finished 'build' after 3.71 μs
[17:05:01] Starting 'zip'...
[17:05:01] Finished 'zip' after 1.95 ms

Q: Relation between localization and colimit. I am trying to show that $S^{-1}R=\operatorname{colim}F(s)$, where $S$ is a multiplicative closed set in a commutative ring $R$ and $F$ is a functor from a filtered category $I$ to mod-$R$ and $I$ is constructed as follows: objects of $I$ are just the elements of $S$ and the morphisms are $$\operatorname{Hom}_{I}(s_{1},s_{2})=\{s \in S : s_{1}s=s_{2}\}$$
and $F$ is defined as follows: it takes $s$ to $F(s)=R$ and a morphism $s_{1}\rightarrow s_{2}$ to the multiplication by $s$ from $R\rightarrow R$.
I tried it to this way: firstly I showed that $S^{-1}R$ is co-cone with the morphism $F(s)\rightarrow S^{-1}R$ taking $1$ to $1/s$. Then I want to show that it satisfies universal property of colim. Which I am not getting.
Thanks in advance.

A: Instead of proving the localization has the universal property of the colimit, we can do it the other way around.
I claim the canonical map $R\to \varinjlim_{s\in S}R[s^{-1}]$ induced by any principal localization $R\to R[s^{-1}]$ inverts the elements of $s$. This is a consequence of the fact the category structure you give to $S$ is filtered: each $s\in S$ is inverted by $R\to R[s^{-1}]$ and is therefore inverted "sufficiently far" down. Since all the colimit cocone maps are ring morphisms, they preserve invertibility. Thus $s$ is inverted in the colimit, and since it was arbitrary, so is all of $S$.
The universal property of $R\to R[S^{-1}]$ now defines a ring morphism $R[S^{-1}]\to \varinjlim_{s\in S}R[s^{-1}]$ making the triangle over $R$ commute (with the canonical map from the beginning of the first paragraph). Moreover - and this is crucial - the canonical maps from $R[s^{-1}]$ make the triangle commute (again by universal properties).
On the other hand, we have the canonical map $R[S^{-1}]\leftarrow \varinjlim_{s\in S}R[s^{-1}]$ induced by the universal property of the colimit from the maps $R[S^{-1}]\leftarrow R[s^{-1}]$ which are themselves induced by the universal property of the principal localizations.
Finally, we wish to prove the ring morphisms $R[S^{-1}]\leftrightarrows \varinjlim_{s\in S}R[s^{-1}]$ are mutually inverse. This also follows from universal properties. The universal property of the LHS ensures the composite giving its endomorphism is the identity (by the uniqueness part of the universal property). For the other composite (an endomorphism of the colimit), observe that all commutativity relations over principal localization ensure that composing it on the colimit cocone remains a cocone, so the uniqueness part of the universal property of the colimit ensures this composite is the identity.
We've shown both composites are identities, so the asserted maps are mutually inverse.

A: I've got a couple of solutions to this, but both use the construction of filtered colimits. I wasn't able to do this using universal properties alone.
I'll show a little more generally that, if $M$ is a $R$-module, then $S^{-1}M = \mathrm{colim}_I F$, where $F$ is the functor from $I$ into $R$-modules such that $F(s)$ is $M$ for all $s \in I$ and the map $F(s) \to F(t)$ induced by some $u \in \mathrm{Hom}_I(s, t)$ is the multiplication by $u$ map on $M$. Recall that
$$ \mathrm{colim}_I F = \left( \coprod_{s \in I} M \right)/\sim $$
where if $(m, s) \in \coprod_{s \in I} M$, the equivalence relation identifies $(m,s)$ with $(um, us)$ for all $u \in S$. I think you've already managed to show that the maps $F(s) \to S^{-1}M$ given by $m \mapsto m/s$ define a co-cone over $F$ and therefore there is a naturally induced map $\phi : \mathrm{colim}_I F \to S^{-1} M$. It is given by mapping the equivalence class of $(m, s) \in \coprod_{s \in I} M$ in the colimit to $m/s \in S^{-1} M$. We want to show that this is an isomorphism.
Approach 1. We can show that $\phi$ is surjective and injective. From our formula for $\phi$ it is obvious that it is surjective. For injectivity, observe that if $(m, s) \in \mathrm{colim}_I F$ is such that $\phi(m, s) = m/s = 0$, then there exists $u \in S$ such that $um = 0$. But then $(m, s)$ is identified with $(um, us) = 0$ in the colimit, so this proves that the kernel of $\phi$ is trivial.
Approach 2. We can use the universal property of $S^{-1}M$ to construct an inverse map. This universal property states that, given any morphism $\alpha : M \to N$ into an $R$-module $N$ such that multiplication by any $u \in S$ is an automorphism of $N$, there exists a unique map $\psi : S^{-1}M \to N$ such that $\psi \circ \sigma = \alpha$, where $\sigma : M \to S^{-1}M$ is the universal map $m \mapsto m/1$. Now we definitely have a map $\alpha : M \to \mathrm{colim}_I F$ given by $m \mapsto (m, 1)$. Also, observe that if $u \in S$, the multiplication by $u$ map $(m, s) \mapsto (um, s)$ is indeed an automorphism, whose inverse is the map $(m, s) \mapsto (m, us)$. So we get a unique morphism $\psi : S^{-1}M \to \mathrm{colim}_I F$ such that $\psi \circ \sigma = \alpha$. I think now you can check using the uniqueness assertions of the universal properties of $\mathrm{colim}_I F$ and of $S^{-1}M$ that we must have $\psi \circ \phi = 1$ and $\phi \circ \psi = 1$. Alternatively, more concretely, notice that $\psi$ is given by mapping $m/s \in S^{-1} M$ to the image of of $(m,1)$ under the inverse of the multiplication by $s$ map, which we saw above is exactly $(m, s)$. In other words, $\phi(m/s) = (m, s)$, and its obvious from this formula that $\phi$ and $\psi$ are inverse to one another.
