Illegal Immigration
A key point in the discussion of illegal immigration (and legal immigration, for that matter) is that many of those who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration are also opposed to large amounts of legal immigration as well. These thinly hidden agendas mean that often the debate on illegal immigration cannot be separated from the debate on legal immigration.
Americans firmly believe in tough laws against illegal immigrants and 70% of Americans want no more than 300,000 legal immigrants to enter the U.S. per year. In fact, 20% of Americans want immigration completely stopped. Taking these numbers as the truth, it is clear that America thinks that we have too many immigrants.
Such a dislike of immigration is interesting considering the success of past immigration. Many people would say that today's immigrants are somehow different than those of the past. However, the truth is that the similarities between the immigrants of today and those of the past are numerous. Their reasons for coming to this country are often similar.
When illegal immigration is not confused with legal immigration, debate can take place in a sane manner. Outlandish solutions like building a huge 2,000 mile-long fence and gathering a virtual army to defend the border from Mexicans are not the answer. Making legal immigration easier and more common is the best solution that we have now.
Which of the following solutions is the one the author will agree to?

A. Legalizing the illegal immigration.
B. Facilitating the legal immigration.
C. Building a long fence along the border.
D. Stationing a huge army defending the border.

Subject: Hi Sherry!
Guilt'? Guilt is my middle name. I feel guilty for not being more than I am, for letting opportunities pass me by, for not having enough energy to do everything, for spending so much time on the web! I feel guilty for not being best at everything, because merely being good at some things is not good enough. I feel guilty for having a bit of an edge on my personality even though I do like my personality. I feel guilty about having a daughter who refuses to wear dresses or pink pony tail holders.
I feel guilty about producing boys who aren't great at sports, who are thin and wiry and freckled and spectacled. I feel guilty about aluminum cans and eating meat and using cleaning chemicals and having three children and driving a car — ecoguilt. But not guilty enough to change my had habits. I feel guilty for liking myself even though I'm convinced I've failed completely at being perfect. And now I feel guilty about writing so much!

An Ounce of Knowledge Is Worth a Ton of Data: Quantitative Studies of the Trade-off Between Expertise and Data Based on Statistically Well-founded Empirical Induction
There is currently a division in knowledge acquisition research and practice between techniques for the transfer of existing knowledge from human experts and those for the creation of new expertise through machine learning. This paper reports studies of the spectrum of trade-offs between these two extremes, measuring the amount of data required to attain knowledge through empirical induction given different forms and levels of expertise. This gives a principled economic evaluation of knowledge which can be used to guide knowledge acquisition theory and practice.
