    Dalia Dassa Kaye

    Los Angeles Times

    The Iranian people deserve American support. But current U.S. policies are hurting the cause that Iranians are fighting for while failing to achieve any strategic objectives.

    Oct 30, 2018

    The Health Care Blog

    As with many Affordable Care Act policies, how New York is dealing with the absence of the individual mandate penalty is a potent reminder that all health policy is local.

    Potential Benefits for Most New Yorkers but No Free Lunch: Tough Decisions for Single-Payer Health Care in New York

    Jodi L. Liu @jodilliu

    Aug 6, 2018

    New York Daily News

    A single-payer plan in New York would shift health care spending to the state instead of private insurers. As with any far-reaching legislation, there are trade-offs. It's important that policymakers consider the impact of the single-payer plan in totality.

    New York Terror Attack: Can Vehicle Attacks Be Prevented?

    Colin P. Clarke @ColinPClarke

    Nov 1, 2017

    The Globe and Mail

    The recent vehicle attack in Manhattan was the deadliest terror attack on New York since 9/11. Preventing every attack is unrealistic, but with increased vigilance, cooperation with law enforcement, and intelligence sharing, citizens can help mitigate the threat of terrorism.

    A Symbolic Purging of the NYPD Radicalization Report

    Brian Michael Jenkins @BrianMJenkins, Richard Daddario

    Jan 26, 2016

    The Hill

    The NYPD's purging of its 2007 report on radicalization may give some satisfaction by symbolically breaking the connection between the current mayoral administration and the NYPD's previous intelligence and investigative efforts. But its significance seems questionable.

    U.S. News & World Report

    Legionella bacteria are ubiquitous in many warm-water environments, but outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease like the recent one in the South Bronx don't have to be. Effective public health policies and practices can help inhibit Legionella growth, minimize the occurrence and impact of outbreaks, and save lives.

    Does Expanding Nurse Practitioner Autonomy Affect the Value of Care Delivered?

    Grant R. Martsolf

    Jan 28, 2015

    The RAND Blog

    Given the high cost of health care in America, policymakers should be very concerned about the effect of expanded nurse practitioner autonomy on the value of care. However, to have a sensible policy debate, we need to admit that we hardly know anything about it.

    One Year Later: Hurricane Sandy's Lessons in Resilience and Recovery

    Mahshid Abir

    Nov 15, 2013

    The RAND Blog

    The recovery from Sandy shows once again that how well communities bounce back from disasters depends not just on how they react after a crisis, but on how resilient they have made themselves beforehand. Building community resilience should be part and parcel of disaster preparedness.

    A Year After Sandy, a New Threat to New York City

    Lloyd Dixon

    Nov 5, 2013

    The RAND Blog

    As residents continue to recover from Superstorm Sandy, they are about to confront dramatic changes in the flood insurance landscape. Changes to federal floodplain maps will mean thousands of New Yorkers will suddenly be living in areas designated as high-risk flood, which will send their insurance rates soaring.

    What Louisiana Can Teach New York and New Jersey

    Debra Knopman, Jordan R. Fischbach @fischinwater, David G. Groves

    Nov 8, 2012

    CNN

    The massive damage and disruption caused by “Super Storm” Sandy has created a rare moment when New York City, New Jersey and surrounding areas are singularly focused on the infrastructure they need in a changing environment – not just the infrastructure they already have thanks to the vision and investments of past generations.

    Helping Displaced Students in the Wake of Hurricane Sandy

    John F. Pane @JohnFPane

    Oct 31, 2012

    The RAND Blog

    If Hurricane Sandy causes extensive disruptions in public schools—particularly in hard-hit New York City—our research shows that choices made by parents and policymakers could significantly limit the negative short-term effects of changing schools under such difficult circumstances, writes John Pane.

    The Debate over Teacher Merit Pay: A Freakonomics Quorum

    Julie A. Marsh

    Sep 20, 2011

    Freakonomics

    Motivation alone does not improve schools. Even if incentives inspire staff to improve practices or work together, educators may not have the capacity or resources to bring about improvement, writes Julie Marsh.

  • Efforts by the United States to shore up the credibility of its commitment to European security need not be driven by an urge to head off intensified defense cooperation among Europeans, but rather by the desire to preserve the possibility for common responses to challenges such as Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

  • Iranians are protesting for better governance that would make the welfare of the Iranian people a priority over the government's costly regional meddling and the enrichment of entrenched leaders. For this reason, Iranians deserve American support.
