  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE January 27, 2017
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE January 27, 2017 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF JANUARY 23, 2017 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results SCHOOL REFORM OFFICE RELEASES LIST OF POOR-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS SET TO CLOSE On Jan. 20. the state School Reform Office released a list of 38 schools facing closure by the end of the school year due to poor academic performance. The list includes 24 schools in the Detroit Public Schools Community District and the state-created Education Achievement Authority in the city of Detroit. The SRO had discussed the potential closures months ago, warning schools that they could be shut down if they showed no academic improvement and continued poor performance from 2014 to 2016. The action could impact more than 18,000 students. The SRO is in the process of sending out closure notices, and has already sent letters to parents of children who attend classes in the 38 schools. It is also in the process of examining which other public schools the children would attend if their school closes. If a school closing creates an unreasonable hardship on the students, or all the other surrounding public schools also on the list, the SRO will pursue other options. Senate Education Committee Chair Phil Pavlov (R-St. Clair) is looking into repealing the state’s “failing schools” law and creating one system to explain how schools are placed on the list. The SRO also announced 79 schools were being released from the state’s Priority School list. HOUSE ANNOUNCES COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS FOR 2017-18 House Republicans announced their 2017-2018 committee assignments, including 11 freshman with chairmanship.

    Page 1 of 226 Version 01 Codebook ------------------- CODEBOOK APPENDIX FILE 1997 PILOT STUDY (1997.PN) >>1997 NES Pilot Technical Note - Randomization Problem April 24, 1998 The Surveycraft CATI system's 'Random Number Generation' features and their Effects on Analysis of the 1997 NES Pilot "Group threat" Experiment. Steve Heeringa, Division of Survey Technologies, Survey Research Center Executive Summary: A problem has been identified in the random assignment of treatments in an experimental question module of the 1997 NES Pilot survey instrument. The randomization problem has been linked to unexpected correlation in sequences of random number calls made within the Surveycraft computer-assisted interviewing system. The problem does produce an unbalanced distribution of sample cases to the cells of the factorial experimental design but does not lead to a bias in the interpretation of the experimental results. Details are provided below. A report that analyzes these items is the 1997 pilot study report by J. Bowers. A portion of the 1997 NES Pilot questionnaire (section 'J') includes a "group threat" factorial experimental design to study question order and 'threat level' treatment effects in a series of items that explore respondent views and prejudices toward African-Americans and Christian Fundamentalists. The full design involves 2 question sequence orderings - African-Americans first or Christian Fundamentalists first; 2 levels of intended "threat" - high and low; and 3 'threat domains': political, social and economic. The Survey Craft computer assisted interview (CAI) application used an internal random number generator to determine each subject's assignment to target group order and threat level for the questions about each target group.

Development hell , development purgatory , development limbo , or production hell is a media industry jargon for a film, video game, record album, television program, screenplay, software application, concept, or idea that remains in development for an especially long time, often moving between different crews, scripts, or studios before it progresses to production, if it ever does. Projects in development purgatory are not officially cancelled, but progress until development has reached a satisfying state ready for production.

  • Republican's Struggle to Control State
    Republican’s Struggle to Control State Legislatures on the Eve of Redistricting: An Inside Look with Michael Steele ABIGAIL SAVIT AND JACOB FELDGOISE week after the United States inaugurated its first African-American president, the A Republican National Committee (RNC) elected Michael Steele as its first African-American chairperson. Inheriting a party whose message had been “wholesale rejected by the public,” Michael Steele transformed a near cataclysmic loss into remarkable gains for the Republican Party within just two years, flipping 11 state legislatures and winning 760 state legislative seats, 8 governorships, and 63 House seats for the Republican Party in the 2010 midterm elections.1 While 2010 was not a presidential election year, it was arguably more significant: it was a census year. Every ten years, following a counting of its citizens, the United States redraws its congressional and state legislative districts in a process known as “redistricting” to account for population shifts. At least, that is the goal. In actuality, redistricting more often serves as a tool for incumbents to secure their positions of power (e.g. via gerrymandering). If you control the lines, you can control who wins the election. Thus, victory is vital in a census year. The 2020 election may be even more consequential, coming as it does in a census year with Donald Trump’s re-election to the presidency at stake. When Donald Trump won the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, he blew away any hopes that the Republican Party would follow the doctrine
