  • A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service
    A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service Membership Overview About Voices for National Service PARTNERING TO PROTECT AND EXPAND NATIONAL SERVICE Voices for National Service is a coalition of national, state and local service organizations working together to build bipartisan support for national service, develop policies to expand and strengthen service opportunities for all Americans, and to ensure a robust federal investment in the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Voices for National Service was founded in 2003 in the wake of a successful campaign to save AmeriCorps from sudden and significant proposed cuts. The national service field organized and launched a successful “Save AmeriCorps” campaign that ultimately restored--and in fact increased--federal funding for CNCS and AmeriCorps within one year. Following the successful 2003 Save AmeriCorps campaign, the national service community established Voices for National Service, a permanent field-based coalition dedicated to protecting and growing the federal investment in national service. City Year serves as the organizational and operational host of Voices for National Service and the coalition’s work is guided by a Steering Committee of CEOs of service organizations and leaders of state service commissions. The work of Voices for National Service is made possible through membership dues, philanthropic grants and gifts, and annual support from co- chairs and members of Voices for National Service’s Business Council and Champions Circle.

  • Targeted Sampling from Massive Block Model Graphs with Personalized Pagerank∗
    Targeted sampling from massive block model graphs with personalized PageRank∗ Fan Chen1, Yini Zhang2, and Karl Rohe1 1Department of Statistics 2School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract This paper provides statistical theory and intuition for Personalized PageRank (PPR), a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to thoroughly obtain or maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and \crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside of the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the element-wise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl using the Twitter API. We find that (i) the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node and (ii) the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization. Keywords Community detection; Degree-corrected stochastic block model; Local clustering; Network sampling; Personalized PageRank arXiv:1910.12937v2 [cs.SI] 1 Jul 2020 1 Introduction Much of the literature on graph sampling has treated the entire graph, or all of the people in it, as the target population.

  • Third-Party and Independent Presidential Candidates: the Need for a Runoff Mechanism
    THIRD-PARTY AND INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES: THE NEED FOR A RUNOFF MECHANISM Edward B. Foley* INTRODUCTION The 2016 presidential election has been like no other. However it ends up, it has been marked by the singularly dispiriting fact that the two major party nominees have the highest unfavorable ratings of any presidential candidates in history.1 This environment, one would think, would be particularly auspicious for a third-party or independent candidate, but the electoral system is structured in a way that is so disadvantageous to any candidate other than the two major-party nominees that a serious third-party or independent challenger has yet to materialize. To be sure, as of this writing, the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is polling significantly higher than any third-party or independent candidate since Ross Perot.2 Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, is also hovering * Director, Election Law @ Moritz, and Charles W.

Thanks to the support of 100 businesses from the local community who have joined us for Life Remodeled’s Detroit 100, we are excited to announce the launch of our next project. We know Detroit is making its comeback, but we also know that efforts need to be made to include Detroit neighborhoods in the city’s resurgence. This project will be the first of its kind in Detroit, and we couldn’t be more proud to see such an overwhelming commitment to supporting Detroit Junior Achievement Biz Town Trades School neighborhoods from our local business community. COMMUNITY INNOVATION CENTER HISTORIC SCHOOL BUILDING REPURPOSING Life Remodeled has leased the Durfee school building (was built in 1927; contains 143,000 square-feet), and will repurpose it into a Community Innovation Center (CIC) focused on entrepreneurship, education and com- munity. Makerspace Gymnasium The CIC will operate in collaboration with Central High School and the Detroit Public Schools Community District, to provide hands on education to students. Entrepreneurs will guest lecture in classrooms and students will have the opportunity to learn subjects, like math and finance, with real examples from case studies of business ventures taking place within the center. Community members of all ages will have access to resources and space in order to learn about entrepreneurship and how to start or grow their own businesses.

  • CHAPTER 6: PERIOD TWO : IMPACT of the VICE PRESIDENTIAL SELECTIONS and CONVENTIONS August 23-September 9
    1 CHAPTER 6: PERIOD TWO : IMPACT OF THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL SELECTIONS AND CONVENTIONS August 23-September 9 As Democratic delegates boarded planes to their party‘s convention, the divinations of Gallup and RealClearPolitics.com suggested that the race was tightening. In the last two Gallup snapshots before the Democrats gaveled their convention to order, the contest fell within the margin of error. Contrary to the expectations of the pundits and scholarly prognosticators, by the end of the Republican convention in early September, McCain had taken the lead. In the following pages, we explore the dynamics created over the two week period from the Biden pick, August 23rd, to September 9th, a few days after the end of the Republican convention when a so- called convention ―bounce‖ was still evident. In this chapter and the one that follows, we account for the shifts in perception of the readiness of Biden and Palin to be president from their nominations through the rest of the general election, including the vice presidential debate, and ask what difference, if any, their selection made in the outcome. This chapter is divided into four segments: the Biden announcement, the Democratic convention, the Palin pick, and the Republican convention. The Biden Pick In the pre dawn hours of Saturday, August 23rd, with the Democratic convention scheduled to open in two days, the Obama campaign sidestepped the press by notifying its supporters electronically that Delaware Senator Joseph Biden had gotten the Democratic vice presidential nod. Minutes after the Obama message landed in inboxes, at 2:22AM the McCain campaign reminded the insomniacs in the press of Biden‘s past doubts about Obama.
