Lee October 6, 2010 12:00 AM EDT A member of President Barack Obama’s close-knit team is leaving the White House to work for former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s mayoral bid in Chicago, POLITICO has learned. Ben LaBolt, a native Chicagoan and one of Obama’s longest-serving press aides, will serve as Emanuel’s campaign’s communications director, according to sources with knowledge of the hire. LaBolt will leave his job as an assistant White House press secretary by the end of October, sources said. Emanuel was looking for someone with Chicago roots and a combative side for the campaign he launched Sunday, just two days after leaving his White House post. LaBolt, 29, was born and raised in the Chicago area and understands the city’s media and political worlds. He’s also known for his push-back on reporters writing stories he perceives as unflattering and for serving as the point person on thorny issues. The hire has been in the works for days, with the final details ironed out Tuesday. LaBolt is a veteran in the Obama press operation who served as Obama's press secretary when he was in the Senate and worked on his presidential campaign from the Release 3 - HQ-FOI-01268-12 All emails sent by "Richard Windsor" were sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson start. In January 2009, he become one of a handful of spokesmen to work under White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. LaBolt has been tasked with handling several high-profile controversie for Obama. During the campaign it was speculation about the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate, and later it was questions about the indictment and subsequent trial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. His official White House portfolio includes issues that fell within the departments of Energy, Interior, Commerce and Justice. So he’s handled press for Obama’s Supreme Court nominees and worked on the BP oil spill – the politics of it, not the nitty-gritty details of the response. His duties have also at times included acting as spokesman for the White House Counsel’s office and Carol Browner, Obama’s top adviser on energy and climate change. Prior to his time with Obama, LaBolt served as press secretary and legislative assistant to Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). A graduate of Middlebury College, he’s also worked at the Democratic National Committee, on Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign and as press secretary for Sherrod Brown’s successful 2006 Senate campaign in Ohio. LaBolt’s departure will be a loss for his White House colleagues, with whom he has close friendships and has shared tight working quarters on a daily basis since the beginning of the Obama campaign in 2007. He will be the first of the small circle of press aides – “the boys” as they’re known – to leave the White House. Not that Obama’s communications shop hasn’t seen its share of change. Former EMILY’s List executive director Ellen Moran left her position as White House communications director less than three months after Obama took office after it became clear the job wasn’t the right fit. Veteran Democratic strategist Anita Dunn took over in the interim until Dan Pfeiffer was permanently given the job in November 2009. Deputy communications director Jen Psaki was promoted from deputy press secretary shortly after Pfeiffer moved up. Psaki was replaced by Amy Brundage, who had been regional communications director. And Caroline Hughes became a press assistant when Priya Singh left to become an aide to United Nations ambassador Susan Rice. LaBolt’s replacement has not been named.

The Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice, formed in 1994 by President Clinton under Executive Order 12898, had not convened at the Cabinet level since the middle of the Clinton administration, EPA said today. The agencies will now meet monthly to discuss environmental justice, with their top officials gathering for follow-up Cabinet sessions in April and October of next year. Today's meeting showed that the individual agencies have already made environmental justice a priority, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson told Greenwire today. "There's a lot of legwork that goes into the kind of work we heard from each one of the agencies in the room," Jackson said, explaining why the panel hadn't gathered since President Obama took office. "None of these agencies, and certainly not my own, have waited in terms of impacting and acting on environmental justice." Attorney General Eric Holder presented a plan to improve enforcement under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin, she said. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan discussed the fair distribution of disaster relief funding, and DOT Secretary Ray LaHood outlined the agency's role in promoting sustainable development. Since the start of her tenure, Jackson has made environmental justice a priority at EPA, listing it in a draft strategic plan as one of the agency's seven priorities for the next five years. As part of the so-called "Environmental Justice Tour," she has joined members of the Congressional Black Caucus on visits to areas facing environmental distress. EPA is currently taking comment on draft guidance, released earlier this summer, that tells employees how to factor environmental justice into their decisions. The agency is also working on a screening tool that uses demographic and pollution data to identify pockets of people who have suffered more than most (Greenwire, July 30). The administration announced today that it will schedule regional "listening sessions" on environmental justice next year and hold a White House forum on the topic. Though President Obama is drawing intense fire from Republicans, who say his regulatory agenda has slowed the recovery of the economy, Jackson said the meeting on environmental justice was not an effort to respond to that criticism. "This meeting wasn't about politics," she said. "A clean environment is not a political issue -- every American wants and demands a clean and healthy environment." Today's meeting was also attended by Nancy Sutley, chairwoman of the White House Council on Release 3 - HQ-FOI-01268-12 All emails sent by "Richard Windsor" were sent by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Environmental Quality; Carol Browner, the White House climate and energy adviser and a former EPA director; John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Melody Barnes, director of the White House Office of Domestic Policy; and Martha Johnson, head of the General Services Administration.

In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

    To Continue Our Recognition of Women in Significant Governmental

    Mentoring Mondays January 11, 2021 To continue our recognition of women in significant governmental positions, this week we will look at the “Women Who Speak for Biden” (excerpts from a reprint from USA Today). This marks the first time that women will hold all of the communications positions for the White House. Each has extensive experience and are accustomed to working with each other. Jen Psaki will lead the communications team as White House Press Secretary – Psaki is a veteran of President Obama’s administration and has overseen the confirmation team for Biden’s transition. Her training as State Department spokesman is among the best. As communications director in 2015 and 2016, Psaki reorganized the White House approach to media with more attention for non-traditional and online outlets. She served as traveling press secretary for Obama during his reelection campaign. Karine Jean-Pierre will serve as Principal Deputy Press Secretary – Karine was a senior advisor on the Biden campaign, and was chief of staff to Kamala Harris. She was chief public affairs officer for MoveOn.org and a political analyst for NBC and MSNBC. Jean-Pierre was regional political director for the White House Office of Political Affairs during the Obama- Biden administration and served as deputy battleground states director for Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. Kate Bedingfield will be White House Communications Director – Bedingfield served as communications director for Biden when he was vice president and associate communications director, deputy director of media affairs and the director of response in the Obama-Biden White House. Before joining the Biden White House team, Bedingfield was communications director to Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) on her successful 2008 Senate campaign, along with other roles on Democratic campaigns.

    A Note on Statistical Inference for Noisy Incomplete 1-Bit Matrix∗

    A Note on Statistical Inference for Noisy Incomplete 1-Bit Matrix∗ Yunxiao Chen1, Chengcheng Li2, and Gongjun Xu2 1Department of Statistics, London School of Economics and Political Science 2Department of Statistics, University of Michigan Abstract We consider the statistical inference for noisy incomplete 1-bit matrix. Instead of observing a subset of real-valued entries of a matrix M, we only have one binary (1-bit) measurement for each entry in this subset, where the binary measurement follows a Bernoulli distribution whose success probability is determined by the value of the entry. Despite the importance of uncertainty quantification to matrix completion, most of the categorical matrix completion literature focus on point estimation and prediction. This paper moves one step further towards the statistical inference for 1-bit matrix completion. Under a popular nonlinear factor analysis model, we obtain a point estimator and derive its asymptotic distribution for any linear form of M and latent factor scores. Moreover, our analysis adopts a flexible missing-entry design that does not require a random sampling scheme as required by most of the existing asymptotic results for matrix completion. The proposed estimator is statistically efficient and optimal, in the sense that the Cramer-Rao lower bound is achieved asymptotically for the model parameters. arXiv:2105.01769v1 [math.ST] 4 May 2021 Two applications are considered, including (1) linking two forms of an educational test and (2) linking the roll call voting records from multiple years in the United States senate. The first application enables the comparison between examinees who took different test forms, and the second application allows us to compare the liberal-conservativeness of senators who did not serve in the senate at the same time.
