  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

  • Political Engagement Through Text Sound Poetry
    Wesleyan ♦ University Political Voices: Political Engagement Through Text Sound Poetry By Celeste Hutchins Faculty Advisor: Ron Kuivila A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Middletown, Connecticut May 2005 Text Sound Poetry I created several pieces using manipulated speech recordings, starting in the fall of 2003. After completing some of these pieces, I became aware of Text Sound Poetry as a well-defined genre involving similar passages between language and sound. To find out more about this genre, I listened to Other Mind’s re-release of 10 + 2: 12 American Text Sound Pieces, the re-released OU archives and Terre Thaemlitz’s album Interstices. Text Sound seems to be especially well suited to political expression. Often, a political work suffers a tension between the political/text content and the musical content. Either the political message or the music often must be sacrificed. However, in Text Sound, the text content is the musical content. Composers like Sten Hanson, Steve Reich and Terre Thaemlitz are able to create pieces where complaints about the Vietnam War, police brutality, and gender discrimination form the substance of the piece. To engage the piece is to engage the political content. Reich’s pieces are less obvious than Hanson and Thaemlitz. The loop process he uses in “Its Gonna Rain” is auditorially interesting, but the meaning of the piece is not immediately clear to a modern listener. Many discussions of his pieces eliminate the political content and focus on the process. Before I did research on this piece I was disturbed by the implications of a white composer taking the words of an African American and obscuring them until the content was lost to the process.

McKechnie: From Secret White House Recordings to @realdonaldtrump: The Democ From Secret White House Recordings to @realDonaldTrump: The Democratic Value of Presidential Tweets DOUGLAS B. McKECHNIE* ABSTRACT Modern US. presidents have chosen their words meticulously and deliberately, with the assistance of aides and speechwriters, all with a view toward how their message would be delivered and understood. Rarely has the electorate had access to the unvarnished thoughts of a president. At times, secretly recorded conversations in the White House have allowed Americans to hear the unabashed thoughts of various presidents. However, save for the Watergate scandal, those recordings had no immediate, discernible democratic impact because they were released years after the presidents' words were recorded. The recordings are noteworthy because they capture presidents'musings in the private sphere, where one is more secure and more likely to engage in self-reflective, authentic expression.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner June 19, 2009 The President. Thanks to all of you. Thank you. Please, everybody, have a seat. Before I get started, as the father of two girls, can I just say how incredibly impressive those three young ladies were. Dad would be proud. To Heather and all the others who have made this evening possible, thank you so much. It is wonderful to be here. I want to express my appreciation for the opportunity to tell jokes that weren't funny enough for me to use when we did this 5 weeks ago. [Laughter] Whatever. [Laughter] The jokes may not be as good, but neither is the guest list. [Laughter] I'm just joking. For me, there's no contest. Why bother hanging out with celebrities when I can spend time with the people who made me one? [Laughter] I know where my bread is buttered. Plus, we have our own luminaries here in attendance. The junior Senator from Wyoming, John Barrasso, is here. [At this point, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs came to the podium and whispered in the President's ear.] I'm sorry, John Barasso skipped this evening. [Laughter] Let me tell you, though, for those who haven't met him, John Barrasso is the George Clooney of junior Senators from Wyoming. [Laughter] It is great to be here with so much talent from the world of TV and radio. Despite the flood of new media, I think your programming is more relevant than ever before.

  • 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.
