The IPC's Mary Giovagnoli in the Christian Science Monitor
Published on Thu, Apr 25, 2013
The IPC's Director, Mary Giovagnoli, was quoted in a recent article in the Christian Science Monitor on what could be expected from the new reform package from the Senate:
"Pro-reform analysts say that's a good thing: The bill is replacing illegal workers with legal ones, these advocates argue, thus allowing American employers legally to meet legitimate business needs and uniting families kept apart by poorly fashioned immigration laws.
"You're having to play catch-up for 20 years of neglect of this system," says Mary Giovagnoli, director of the Immigration Policy Center and a former aide to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D) of Massachusetts during the 2007 immigration reform effort.
Without creating a functional (and larger) legal immigration system, they say, the lures for illegal immigration will remain."

We consider the problem of adapting the parameters of an influence diagram in an online fashion for real-time personalization. This problem is important when we use the influence diagram repeatedly to make decisions and we are uncertain about its parameters. We describe learning algorithms to solve this problem. In particular, we show how to modify various explore-versus-exploit strategies that are known to work well for Markov decision processes to the more general influence-diagram model. As an illustration, we describe how our techniques for online personalization allow a voice-enabled browser to adapt to a particular speaker for spoken dialogue management. We evaluate all the explore-versus-exploit strategies in this domain.

Sex offender Stewart Murray Wilson has been recalled to
prison after allegations he phoned someone he was directed
not to contact.
Wilson was released on parole to a house on the grounds of
Whanganui Prison in August last year with 17 special
conditions imposed on him.
The Department of Corrections today said it had applied for
an interim recall to prison after Wilson allegedly phoned a
person he had been directed not to associate with.
He was returned to prison after the Parole Board considered
the application this afternoon.
The board will consider whether or not a final order is made
at a hearing before the end of next month.
Wilson was sentenced to 21 years in prison in 1996 for sex
and violence offences against women and girls, as well as
charges of stupefying and bestiality.
Corrections said it had been vigilantly monitoring Wilson's
compliance with his parole conditions and immediately made a
recall application after it received information which led it
to believe he was in breach.
Police assisted in the matter.
Corrections said it would pursue legal action through the
courts in relation to the alleged breach.

Look around you right now: how much 'stuff' do you have? This zine is all about chucking stuff out, resisting buying new stuff, and looking at the processes of how we engage with stuff along the way. I consider the 'buy-ology' of why we desire and buy what we do in the first place and also 'flow': the exact opposite of the desire-acquire cycle. If you hoard stuff, or purge, this will interest you.

Peru's Bonds Drop as U.S. Industrial Boost Damps Stimulus Bets
Peruvian dollar bonds fell, pushing yields to the highest in five weeks, as signs of improvement in the U.S. economy curbed speculation the Federal Reserve will expand monetary stimulus.
The yield on the nation's benchmark 6.55 percent dollar-denominated bond due March 2037 climbed four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 3.87 percent at 2:14 p.m. in Lima, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The price fell 0.82 cent to 142.25 cents per dollar.
U.S. Treasuries fell as industrial production increased in July more than forecast and after a report yesterday showed retail sales rose for the first time in four months. The Fed will hold off from a third round of bond buying known as quantitative easing in September as economic reports show signs of improvement, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a report.
There's "less probability of QE3, in the short term at least," Bret Rosen, a Latin America strategist at Standard Chartered Bank, said in a phone interview from New York.
The sol gained 0.1 percent to 2.6145 per U.S. dollar according to Deutsche Bank AG's local unit.
Peru's central bank said on its website it bought $110 million in the spot market today and paid an average 2.6150 soles per dollar.

Comparing Appeasement, The League of Nations, Treaty of Versailles and Hitler as Causes of World War TwoAt the end of World War One, there was nothing Europe wanted to do more then move on and prevent another war like it from happening again. Even with the attempts made by Europe to prevent another world war, the Second World War started less then 30 years later. There were many causes of this new war that even included some of the attempts to keep a new war from coming that ended up only encouraging a new war. The failure of the League of Nations, the policy of appeasement, the Treaty of Versailles and Adolf Hitler as the leader of Germany at the time are all thought to be causes of World War Two. Although appeasement and the collapse of the League of Nations were important causes of World War Two, they were not the most important causes when compared to the Treaty of Versailles and Hitler himself.
Appeasement means giving into a nation's demands in order to avoid further conflict or war. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Britain, is most known for using this policy when dealing with an aggressive Germany in hopes that the policy would allow Britain to avoid another world war at least until it was ready to fight again(1). Other countries were also known to use this policy of appeasement when dealing with aggressor nations. The largest example of appeasement in Europe in accordance with germany and beginning of the Second World War was the Munich Agreement made mainly between Germany and Britain which allowed Germany to have the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia in agreement that Germany would not try and advance on any other land. Britain and France both believed that the agreement would satisfy Hitler and prevent Europe from being involved in another world war(2). Germany would end up breaking this agreement and take the rest of Czechoslovakia less then a year later. When Germany was met with no resistance from the other European nations, Germany believed that it could what it wished(3). Britain would finally declare war on Germany when Germany invaded Poland beginning the Second World War. This inability for appeasement to stop Germany for continuing to invade countries showed that the policy of appeasement failed in the very act it was supposed to achieve. It was not only Britain using the policy as stated before but other European countries that wanted to avoid war again, even if it required turning a blind eye Germany and Germany's activities in breaking the Treaty of Versailles when occupying the rhineland between Germany and France and rebuilding its army and air force. This use of appeasement as a form of foreign policy in order to prevent war ended up only encouraging war by encouraging Germany to take without any consequences(4).
The League of Nations was an organization put together at the end of the First World War from the Treaty of Versailles to help promote peace and avoid another world war(5). Although the League was successful at the beginning of its reign, as time went on, the weaknesses of the League were exposed. After the League's experiences with Italy and Japan(6) and it's lack of power in regulating aggressors(7), it was not surprising that the league was unable to keep Hitler at bay, both with his territorial breaks from the Treaty of Versailles but as well as rearmament of the German Forces(8). One reason why the League was ineffective in regulating Germany was because the League had no military force of it's own to enforce its decrees(9). The League of Nations had tried previously to stop Germany when it broke the Treaty of Versailles but was unable to stop Hitler. If the League would have been able to stop Germany, then World War Two might not have began but the League failed in its original goal when Germany finally invaded Poland which caused Britain to declare war upon Germany.
The Treaty of Versailles was the official treaty that ended the First World War in Europe on June 28, 1919. The Treaty put in place the League of Nations in order to prevent another world war as well as assigning all of the blame for the war on Germany. As a part of putting the blame upon Germany, Germany's army is limited; the government was changed from monarchy to a democracy, German land was taken from Germany to form new neighboring countries around Germany and Germany was forced to pay reparations to the Allied nations for the damage done during the war. The German public was outraged by the terms of the treaty because for the duration of the war, the public had been lead to believe that the German's had been winning the war(10). When the public found out that Germany had lost and then later found out that a number of representatives from the new democratic government had stabbed Germany in the back and signed this treaty, the public was outraged(11). Although it was a myth that these representatives stabbed Germany in the back made up by anti-democracy forces, it still hit home for a lot of germans who couldn't believe the shame that was placed upon Germany for the war. This tension towards the government would end up being only the start for the Weimar Republic when it would be officially set up within Germany. As well as setting up tension for the new government in Germany, the Treaty also created a lot of bitterness from the Germans towards the Allied Nations as a whole. Some German's believed that Germany needed to regain it's pride and power within the world after being stripped of so much military and economic power from the treaty. This collective bitterness of the German people fostered a feeling of revenge on the rest of the world in order to recollect the power they had so recently lost.
Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany after the fall of the Weimar Republic in January of 1933(12). Hitler's goals for Germany included restoring Germany's former glory by ignoring the Treaty of Versailles and to expand in order to allow all German people to come into one country to live together and have Lebensraum(13). He was willing to do this at any cost in order to restore pride within the German people. Hitler also believed in a superior German race in which he watched to perfect and purify Germany and the lands around from those impure races. Since Hitler was willing to throw away relations with countries like Britain and France who supported the Weimar Republic in which he had replaced, he had no reason to go on with his goals for Germany. These territorial goals and lack of remorse for the other countries lead to the Second World War.
Although all four causes are important in the beginning of Second World War, the Treaty of Versailles and Adolf Hitler himself are more pressing and important causes then the policy of appeasement in Europe and the League of Nations. The reason the the policy of appeasement and the League of Nations rank under the Treaty of Versailles and Hitler is because the effectiveness of the League of Nations or the policy of appeasement would not have made a difference if Hitler and the Treaty of Versailles stayed the same. It was the extremity of the two later reasons the made it so that if the League was successful or the policy of appeasement was successful as well, then that would have only prolonged the time before World War Two would break out. It would still break out because of the bitterness created by the Treaty of Versailles which made it so that the German people would be always seeking revenge and want to restore a former glory whether there were obstacles in their way or not. Also Hitler himself would have kept on with his territorial gains even if met with confrontation from other european nations or by the League. Therefore it was the extremity of the Treaty of Versailles and of Hitler that would have prevailed whether the policy of appeasement or the League of Nations were to be successful or not.

Wouldn't it be simple to ask both Mr Swallor and Mr Shurtlift the question
did you both stay at the luxury condo in Newport Beach and charge items to Mr
Sessions account?
A simple yes or no answer would be easy to verify.
Why are we not asking this question?

The DNews has been persistent in its call to investigate Swallow, as it should
be. However, it has been appallingly silent about likewise calling for an
investigation into the part that Harry Reid and the Democrats played.
The DNews calls for justice, but then ignores the fact that Johnson has implicated Reid in his part of the case just as much as Swallow. How is it "justice" to call only for a one-sided investigation?
If Swallow is corrupt, he must be removed from office. But the same goes for Reid, and there must be a full and complete investigation into his involvement.

We need an AG whose ethics and honesty are above reproach, not one who continually seems to be skirting the line when it comes to ethics. Even if investigation ultimately determines that no laws were "technically" broken in Swallow's conduct, the very fact that he seems to frequently walk the bare edge of the ethical line compromises his credibility and destroys trust. Meanwhile, as the slow process of investigations and hearings grinds on, the public his stuck with an AG office hamstrung by the unresolved questions. The state deserves and needs better. I voted for Swallow. I now believe it's time for him to step aside.

The courts are the proper place to discuss John Swallow, not the newspaper.
Every citizen in America is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. Let the
Court PROVE John Swallow guilty. Until he is PROVEN guilty, let those who would
crucify him in the media hold their accusations.
Participating in "media justice" shows only that the media is more concerned with selling newspapers than with the rights of a citizen to a fair trial when he has the opportunity to face his accusers.

Mr. Richards,
You must be friends with Mr. Swallow because your judgement is seriously clouded. Swallow is a public figure. It can and should be in the newspaper. Something tells me if Swallow was a democrat your defense of swallow would be quite different. In fact, I know that it would. Swallow clearly does not represent Utah's values. Time to go.

"The courts are the proper place to discuss John Swallow, not the newspaper.
Every citizen in America is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. Let the Court
PROVE John Swallow guilty. Until he is PROVEN guilty, let those who would
crucify him in the media hold their accusations."
Mr Richards.
It would be refreshing is you took that approach to all political issues. Not just those who are Republican.

Three facts that both John Swallow and his predecessor, Mark Shurtleff, do not
1. Marc Sessions Jenson was convicted of a Ponzi Scheme in 2008, and ordered to pay over $4 million in victim restitution.
2. Jenson is in prison now because he did not pay one dime of the ordered restitution.
3. Since conviction, Shurtleff and Swallow each individually received more from Jenson than Jenson's victims received.

My journalism professor at BYU pounded into the class that Who, What, Where,
When were the questions. "How" was to left to the editorial board
unless "how" was relevant to the story.
Those "facts" have been told. The Deseret News, and other newspapers, have done their duty to report the facts concerning John Swallow. If new "facts" emerge, the newspapers should report those facts.
Those who want tabloid journalism want to see citizens dragged through the streets at the end of a rope. They want the opponents of those citizens to spread gossip and innuendo. They want newspapers to "report" that gossip and innuendo as "news". Let them buy their tabloids at the grocery store. Let the Deseret News print facts and facts only. Let the Courts use facts ("evidence") to judge misconduct.
If the Court finds misconduct, then let John Swallow spend time in prison, but let him have his day in court without newspapers printing gossip and innuendo.

Mike Richards said:
Benghazi makes Watergate look like a Sunday School picnic. It's time that Obama was held accountable for his actions as Commander In Chief. It's time that everyone involved in the Benghazi cover-up be held accountable. Lives were lost. American lives.

Let me jump in here for a minute. What Mike Richards said is absolutely
correct. As usual, there are those whose only job is to attack Mike Richards
and others who tell the truth, who demand that newspapers limit themselves to
journalism, who stand for the Constitution.
One poster brought up Benghazi and tried to smear Mike Richards because Mike demands accountability from Obama and the others who tried to coverup Benghazi. What is the difference between Benghazi and Swallow? The Deseret News and other newspapers continue to "speculate" about Swallow. The Deseret News HAS reported about Benghazi, but MOST newspapers have only "reported" what the White House wants them to report about Benghazi.
A citizen must demand accountability from those who are elected. A citizen must demand that those who are elected tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When the truth is not told by elected officials, the "4th branch" of government (newspapers) are duty bound to inform the citizens. That has not happened with Benghazi.
There is a huge difference between Benghazi and Swallow. Swallow's deeds have been reported. He deserves a trial. Benghazi has not been truthfully reported by most newspapers.

The air needs to be cleared in a non partisan manner. It doesn't look as if that is happening now. Democrats are in a feeding frenzy and Republicans appear to be looking the other way.

Mr. Swallow needs to step down. We were warned by many voices before the election that this candidate was used to skating close to a thin line, but a highly reputable and successful district attorney was not elected because he was a Democrat.I wish people in this state would open their eyes and take a look at what they are doing.

This editorial really disturbs me. It seems to me that the rights of a citizen
are being ignored so that a newspaper can make a few more sales. When one
poster appealed to us to remember that as Americans, we have the right to be
tried and to face our accusers. He called for a trial and for the appropriate
prison time if Mr. Swallow is found guilty. He called for an end of
"speculation" and "gossip" in the press. He was shouted
I guess it means nothing to be an American. I guess that it means nothing to be innocent until proven guilty. I guess that all that matters is how the mob feels about someone. Let's just throw out all law and let that mob mete out "justice". Let's let the mob decide whether Caesar gives a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down" in this media circus.
When people think so little of law, they deserve the circus that they desire.

Today's editorial verbiage suggests it is a lawyers product. Instead of receiving a lesson on English common law, most hoped for a quick thorough investigation and resolution. When many of the facts are in dispute, quick correct justice is impossible. Everybody should buckle up for the difficult ride. Of course, if these allegations had been known before the election, the political system (the voters) could have handled it. Now, because of one party power in this State, and for better or for worse, we are stuck with at least two judicial investigations and possibly more.

Certainly Mr. Swallow is entitled to the presumption of innocence in a court of
law and a trial by a jury of his peers. Neither the Deseret News nor any poster
on this thread has suggested otherwise. The presumption of innocence applies
only to the legal process; individuals (and newspapers) are free to express
their views.
I don't think the Deseret News is editorilizing about Mr. Swallow because it will sell newspapers. I believe the editors' criticism of Mr. Swallow is genuine.
Mike Richards says the Deseret News shouldn't criticize Mr. Swallow. Yet he accuses the Deseret News for selling its integrity for readership. That seems inconsistent to me.

I've never understood why this is so complicated. Any school teacher or police officer would have their conduct immediately investigated by the State. Nobody ever waits for Law Enforcement to do it for them in those cases. There is no excuse for the foot dragging as this editorial makes clear. Just get it done Governor Herbert.

Remember... Just because your paraniod doesn't mean they're
aren't after you. And just because their after you doesn't mean
you're paranoid.
News headlines or OPED pieces can make him LOOK guilty, but that doesn't mean he IS guilty. Anybody who watches Dateline, 20/20, etc, knows they can totally convince you of the conclusion they want. They frequently tell a crime story and have me totally convinced he's guilty, then they say "when we come back well expose some other details that may cause you to question your whole conclusion"... and after the break they may have you totally convinced he's innocent, or at least put your previous presumption into serious question. so yes, the investigation is needed and if they find serious accusations... a trial is needed (to do it the Constitutional way).

When Mr. Johnson made is initial claims against Mr. Swallow, I was in favor of
waiting until the feds investigation was completed and went public. Now we have
accusations from Mr. Jensen, who claims to have documents to prove his claims;
we have election law violation claims; and an ethics violation claim to the
State Bar. Where does it stop?
The accumulations of accusations creates distractions which impairs the AG's office to fully carryout its workload requirements. It is an ongoing black eye to Utah as well. Mr. Swallow needs to step down now and spend whatever time he needs to clear his name, if indeed it can be cleared. And if he does happen to clear his name, he can then run again for election. But the only right thing to do right now is for Mr. Swallow to step down now.

I won't be the hypocrite Mike often is. The President and the Department of State should be fully investigated for Benghazi as should John Swallow and Mike Shurtleff and perhaps the governor for these latest issues. The press has a role to play by bringing this news to the public. The lack of coverage in the former situation is disturbing I have to admit, the Utah press actually has done a decent job but probably could do better.

This cake is really good! The only change I made between the first and second time I made it was to include the whipped topping in the layers as well rather than on just the outside- we just liked it better that way. I also poked some holes into the cake and added cherry juice to create that sunset look. The cake itself is really moist and the frosting is wonderfully light with chunky textures from the pineapple & coconut. Also, I didn't do the toasted coconut the 1st time but I did the second time and we all agreed that the toasted coconut just added another lovely dimension to it. Definitely a keeper! Thank you so much :)
Thank You Tootsie! I poked some small holes & drizzled marichino cherry juice lightly on each layer before spreading the filling.It really added color & kicked up the flavor even more. I was swamped with requests!
This cake is great!! My brother-in-law always makes me make him one for his birthday. I make it just as the recipe states and it always comes out scrumdiddilyumptious. Best served cold. The longer you refrigerate the better it tastes.
