2021 Hurricane Season Shows Low-Income Communities Face The Highest Risks In Changing Climate
The U.S. government can minimize the risks and the impact of displacement by planning and preparing for both slow- and rapid-onset events.

Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans on Aug. 29, 2021, 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina flooded the city. This time the levees held. Billions of dollars invested in reinforcing them had paid off – at least for part of the population.
A strong similarity between Ida and Katrina still emerged: Low-income communities and communities of color remain at high risk from hurricanes.
As scholars who study refugees and migration worldwide, we are finding that the communities most at risk are being pushed into permanent displacement and homelessness, or deeper into poverty, with each climate-related disaster. Much of this could be prevented if the U.S. government invested in preparedness and did more to protect vulnerable communities.
'Hunker down'
Despite years of preparations, New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell said there was no time to issue a mandatory evacuation order as Ida rapidly intensified into a powerful Category 4 hurricane. She urged city residents to "hunker down." Mass evacuations require coordination among multiple parishes and states, and there wasn't enough time. In several surrounding parishes, people were told to evacute, but in low-lying and flood-prone locations, many residents couldn't afford to leave.
Hurricane Ida became the most destructive storm of the busy 2021 Atlantic hurricane season that ends Nov. 30. It was one of seven named storms to hit the U.S. as the season exhausted the list of tropical storm names for the second year in a row.
While many New Orleans residents breathed a sigh of relief as Ida's storm surge subsided, the damage outside the city's levee system was devastating.
In St. John Parish, about 30 miles northwest of New Orleans, Ida's storm surge flooded the largest town, LaPlace, whose residents have faced many natural disasters over the years. Most LaPlace residents couldn't afford to evacuate. When the storm hit, people pleaded for boat rescues. Two months later, residents were still waiting for repairs, and some were contemplating leaving permanently.
Native communities living in the bayous of coastal Louisiana are also facing the risk of permanent displacement. One example is the Houma people, who saw many of their homes damaged or destroyed. The Houma have been recognized by the state as a tribe since 1972, but are not recognized by the federal government and thus are not eligible for federal community assistance. Instead, members apply for assistance as private citizens. Many were left without housing, and their displacement erodes the Houma's sense of community and connection to their land.
FEMA aid favors wealthier homeowners
In many parts of the U.S., the legacy of segregation means that low-income communities are more likely to live in high-risk areas. When Hurricane Harvey flooded Houston in 2017, for example, low-income neighborhoods were most affected. According to the Greater Houston Flood Mitigation Consortium, a quarter of affordable, multifamily housing lies within a currently mapped floodplain and is vulnerable to future flooding.
As disasters become more frequent in a warming climate, low-income people without adequate assistance in flood- and hurricane-prone areas are likely to be permanently displaced, as it will be too costly to try to rebuild.
Agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Housing and Urban Development all respond to climate-related emergencies. But the absence of any central coordinating agency means the government's response tends to be disorganized and can even contribute to deepening inequalities.
FEMA, the main source of post-disaster funding, focuses primarily on recovery and reconstruction of property, which favors homeowners and wealthier individuals. The aid is allocated based on cost-benefit calculations designed to minimize taxpayer risk.
When property values are higher, FEMA's payments for damages are higher, making it easier for wealthier neighborhoods to rebuild. As a result, the majority of the funds are not given to those who need them most, but rather to those whose property is worth more.
People with more resources can also apply more easily for aid, whereas the application process can be too complicated and demanding for those without access to up-to-date information and internet service.
FEMA's Individual Assistance Program provides financial assistance to those who are uninsured, but the program cannot pay for all disaster-related losses. Federal assistance comes either as a loan or as a FEMA grant of about $5,000 per household. But the average flood insurance claim in 2018 exceeded $40,000, according to FEMA.
The National Flood Insurance Program helps those who can afford the insurance. But those who are uninsured aren't able to recover their losses. Disaster cycles ensue in which those who are most at risk cannot access funding either to prepare for disasters or to recover from them.
For example, in cases of urban flooding, families who own homes can get up to $30,000 in FEMA grants for rebuilding and recovery. If they have higher incomes, they can also benefit from a tax refund. Wealthier individuals are also more likely to apply for Small Business Administration low-interest disaster loans.
In contrast, low-income families who are uninsured or who rent a home often receive smaller grants from FEMA and do not qualify for significant tax refunds or SBA loans due to low credit scores.
Additionally, richer individuals and families often receive help from their employers and have more flexibility in terms of taking time off to recover and take care of their families. Low-income families generally do not have the luxury to step away from their jobs, and many even lose them as a result of climate-related disaster and business closures.
This means that those with wealth and high incomes experience a very different recovery process than those with fewer possessions and lower income. Climate disasters can drive less-privileged people and people who don't own property into debt as they become displaced, lose their jobs and must pay higher housing and rent prices due to reduced housing availability.
How government could help
Social scientists have been saying for decades that natural disasters exacerbate inequalities. New Orleans and Houston are just two examples of the inadequacy of short-term emergency responses.
It can move from a disaster response that is focused on recovering property to one focused on protecting those most at risk. The federal government is starting to make some moves in this direction. In September 2021, it expanded the forms of assistance offered. It also expanded the types of home ownership and occupancy documents it accepts, a change meant to help those in homes passed down through generations who lack clear ownership documents. These changes now need to be publicized as part of a wider government strategy to increase protection for low-income residents.
Ideally, the government could set up an agency focused on climate-related migration and displacement to research how at-risk areas will be affected and work with residents to find solutions. In our experience, the most effective agencies are those that work closely with local communities.
Strengthening protection in at-risk areas and supporting low-income communities recovering from disasters can help reduce economic and political polarization, population loss and economic decline, and boost protection for all.

Today, June 25th of 2013, President Obama gave a televised speech about climate change. He used some language that speaks to the issue: it can't wait, we can't afford to take the time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society. He spoke in measured tones, as usual, loathe to show anger or communicate a real sense of urgency through tone or posture. He did not use the words "climate emergency" or "existential threat." Mr. Obama chose not to rattle the iron cages in which we live.
By taking executive action through instructions to the EPA to give us new pollution standards, Mr. Obama perhaps seeks to mollify the environmentalist section of his base. We have been critical of his efforts (or lack thereof) with regard to environmental issues. Blocking the Keystone Pipeline is important, and just one very small measure of the work that needs to be done. New carbon caps would be a tiny step in the right direction.
Referring back to a previous weblog entry, however, it should be clear this is not nearly enough. Reducing carbon emissions—even completely stopping them—is no longer enough. There is enough carbon in the atmosphere right now to have unleashed a number of self-amplifying climate change processes. We need stronger action and we need it 20 years ago.
Moreover, executive directions to the EPA are unlikely to have any effect. Congress and the Senate will simply defund the EPA's research arm so they cannot establish a realistic standard and defund their enforcement arm so they cannot catch and prosecute violators, and write exemptions for any crony corporation who donates to their re-election funds.
These statements from Mr. Obama must be taken for what they are: meaningless politics. Like life, we can read into them whatever meaning we want, but they inherently have none.
If we want to save ourselves, we must first abolish politics in the way it is currently practiced. This means starting with the electoral college, reversing Citizens United, and creating sensible, rational districts immune from gerrymandering. Until this is done, we can make no headway on politics at all, and never mind the environment.
Our government really is broken, so much so that the usual civil means of fixing it might prove inadequate. People with money buy their own set of laws and campaigning hopefuls convince the electorate it is in their own best interest to vote for corporate interests. With a roll of the eyes and a sarcastic inflection, we can turn anyone into a stupid hoser. And one party has done fantastic work getting people to vote for their professed religious beliefs while every day in every way betraying the soul of the religion they claim, taking care of their biggest contributors.
If there is such a thing as evil, isn't this it? Letting the whole world drown and burn so one can line one's own pockets? Convincing people to vote for their own poverty and eventual destruction?


FRANKLIN GROVE, Ill - What used to be a corn and soybean field 15 years ago is now full of tall grass and flowers -- a restoration in the making.
Jeff Walk is science director for the Illinois chapter of the Nature Conservancy, a private organization that is trying to bring the prairie back to the Land of Lincoln.
Walk and his group are seeding 1,500 acres with natural grasses and plants: from wild lupine to prairie smoke to golden Alexanders.
The goal is to restore the rolling hills to the way they looked 200 years ago or more. In the process, they're adding one more, rather hairy ingredient to the mix: The American bison.
"The last wild bison in Illinois was killed about 200 years ago," said Walk.
The bison serve an important purpose here. Kind of like landscapers, they maintain the prairie by eating the grass like furry lawnmowers that swallow what they cut.
"They're doing great," said Walk. "They cope very well. They seem to be peaceful, content."
They were trucked to Illinois' Nachusa prairie from Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, as well as other preserves. About 50 are on the land now can move freely around 1,500 acres.
Bison are much easier than cattle for this job. They don't need a barn, don't need to be fed and are hardy as all get out -- needing only one medical exam every year.
The hope is to have a herd of 125 in the future.
"They are just iconic Americana," says Jeff.
So give me a home where the buffalo roam -- just two hours west of Chicago.

Q: Bootstrap 3 dropdown in navbar immediately hides after toggle - show As demonstrated in this jsFiddle, I've a nav bar with 2 dropdowns. A link in the first drop down fires a JS click event where I manually show the second drop down. It works, except that after being shown, the second drop down automatically and immediately hides. I've added an alert to give you time to see the second dropdown before it hides.
http://jsfiddle.net/xNkS5/8/
Copy/paste of the JsFiddle code:

            <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse"
                data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">
                Toggle navigation

            </button>
            Menu

                   my drop down 1

Switch to drop down 2

                   my drop down 2

Foo

Bar

JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#SwitchLink").click(function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();// prevent the default anchor functionality
            $('#DropDown2').dropdown('toggle');
            alert("wait here... see DropDown2 deployed, then close this alert and see it's gone.");
        });
    });

In case you wonder why I'm doing that: In our application the DropDown2 shows a login form. Sometimes, clicking the menu link in the DropDown1 should make the login form appear.
jQuery 1.9.1 - Bootstrap 3.0.0
Happens on both Chrome and Firefox.
I'm a Bootstrap newbie, and I'm convinced that I'm doing it wrong. Many thanks for your help.
John.

A: Try this way:
Stop the event from propagating as well. Otherwise it causes the default dropdown handling of bootstrap from being executed which collapses all the dropdowns when you click on the link.
$(".SwitchLink").click(function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            e.stopPropagation();// prevent the default anchor functionality
            $('#DropDown2').dropdown('toggle');
            alert("wait here... see DropDown2 deployed, then close this alert and see it's gone.");
});

Fiddle

A: try to add this script on document.ready. wroked for me.

$(function(){
    $("[data-toggle=dropdown]").prop('onclick', null).off('click');
    $("[data-toggle=dropdown]").click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();

        let el = $(this);
        let expanded = el.attr("aria-expanded") || false;
        if (!expanded) {
            $(this).dropdown('toggle');
        }
    });

Over the past month I've been experimenting with building a game recommendation system for itch.io. It's really awesome how there's so much interesting and diverse content on itch.io. A disadvantage is that there are probably plenty of games you'd love to play that you don't even know exist! A good recommendation system is only as good as the data fed into it. Leveraging itch.io's game organization was key to building the system.
The recommendation algorithm I decided to implement is called collaborative filtering. It works by comparing your tastes in games to other users' tastes. For example, if you like a game that another person bought and rated 5 stars, then there's a good chance that you'll like some of the other stuff they are into.
There are two new ways to browse recommendations on itch.io: recommendations for your account, and recommendations for a specific game.
Or click here. You'll be taken to a page listing games recommended to you based on the other games you've shown interest in. It combines data from the games you've played, downloaded, purchased and rated to suggest some games you haven't played yet. If you haven't done any of those things then the page might be empty! The easiest way to fill it up is to go rate some games you like! After you've checked out a game you should definitely rate it, that will make sure it won't show up in your recommendations, and it will give you new recommended games!
The algorithm is far from perfect, and it will definitely be receiving many updates over the coming weeks, but it's definitely got some interesting results already. If you have any suggestions for improvements I'd love to hear them.

Mike Conley reflects on longtime Grizzlies teammate Marc Gasol winning title with Raptors
Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley was thrilled to see the Toronto Raptors win the championship last season because his good pal Marc Gasol captured his first title.
Conley and Gasol were teammates on the Memphis Grizzlies for so many years and developed a relationship which can't be broken. It's why Conley was jumping for joy when the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 Finals in six games.
"Man, I watched every game and was rooting and hoping and praying," Conley said, via Eric Koreen of The Athletic. "Then they brought it home, so it was pretty cool. First (thought after the call) was pure happiness, and then I was thinking in my head like, 'Wow, he's got champagne all in his beard and I'm sitting at home.' You know, I started feeling sorry for myself for a second, but, no man, it was all happiness directly towards him because I know how special it was for him.
"We were talking about that thing all our career, having an experience like that for himself is, just happy for him."
Gasol was one of the highlights of the Raptors' championship parade. Toronto fans were clamoring for Gasol to chug a whole bottle of wine. The big man didn't shy away from the challenge and had the time of his life.
Conley, should the Jazz win the championship in 2019-20, vows to have a good time just like his pal Gasol.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Allen's internet price is a whopping $80 million. The bulk of Allen's earnings got here from his time onHome Improvement, which ran from 1991 to 1999.
He is a former salesman for the fictional Binford Tool firm, and may be very a lot a cocky, overambitious, accident-inclined know-it-all. Witty but flippant, Tim jokes round a lot, even at inappropriate times, much to the dismay of his spouse.
The reunion marked the first time the whole cast had seen Thomas since 1998. Hindman appeared in all however … Read More

Tulleys Escape (Crawley): The Outfitters
Tulleys Escape is part of Tulleys Farm, a family-friendly activity centre that is famed for – but not defined by – its Shocktober Fest scare attraction. I have to confess to assuming when I first heard about them that their games would have dark and scary themes, but they've opted for options with much wider appeal.
Unsurprisingly, they're located out in the countryside and, while you can get there on foot or by public transport, it's definitely a car journey kind of place. Parking was easy, and we were soon being greeted by the owner, Stuart, in the beautifully decorated waiting area. It's clear they've got big plans here, because there's plenty of space for four teams to wait simultaneously, and they've invested heavily to make it both comfortable and inviting. Indeed, that level of investment was clear throughout the experience. This isn't a tentative step into a new area for them: they've decided to really go for it and – spoiler! – it's paid off.
First up on our escape schedule was the Outfitters, a Prohibition-themed game. We had a brief intro from the GM, but the main source of information came from a video briefing where they explained the mission and the rules of the game in a humorous but still on-theme kind of way.
It's 1926 here in Chicago, and depression is still rife. Jobs are few and far between and the Prohibition has been in force for six years now. Everyone still drinks, nothin' has changed. But now the mob control the streets, the supply and the money. The influence of the Outfit is far reaching. Most of the cops are even under their control. Who can put them in the joint? You can, that's who.
The Commissioner has put together a special task force of straight, trusted cops and you're on the team. You've spent the last few months infiltrating their network and now tonight is the night to get the evidence you need to put them away forever. But it won't be easy, and you might not make it out alive.
First impressions in this room could be deceiving. As you'd expect from a game recreating a small shop in the 1920s, it wasn't the most glamorous in the world. Look a little closer, though, and you'll see that they've gone to a lot of trouble to create a compelling set with good attention to detail. There was enough to keep us investigating but certainly not to the point of confusing us with red herrings. Looking back, the start is perfect for teaching new players how to play an escape room. You have to search, observe and solve in equal measures and, while the puzzles didn't hold us up for very long, they did use those core escape room skills that would be required later in the game.
As we progressed further into the experience, I started to realise that my initial impression of a shallow, straightforward game was entirely wrong. While the quality of the set remained (and probably improved slightly), the rest of the experience just kept improving. The sense of exploration was a real highlight for me, with more to discover than in almost any "normal" game I've come across. Most rooms I've played are just a connected set of themed spaces. Here, on the other hand, those spaces felt like part of a more coherent whole where the physical journey through the game really added to the story.
I say 'added to the story', but I felt that the lack of a good story was probably the only real weakness in the game. While in theory there was a mission (getting evidence against the mob), I never felt engaged in it, and I certainly don't remember running out of the exit door with the smoking gun. Perhaps finding the speakeasy was meant to be enough but, for me, they could have added a bit more depth to that part of the game.
While this wasn't ever likely to be the jaw-dropping set that a pirate game, temple or spaceship might be, it was solidly constructed and had a reasonable variety of props and furniture to make up for the lack of highlights. They'd hooked up electronics along the way to power the games, but they'd generally hidden them away well enough to avoid jarring the experience. There were two exceptions to that: The first was a very deliberate design decision to make something visually more appealing. While I found it a bit garish in what was otherwise quite a sombre room, I think it's very much a personal taste thing, and I can see other people not even noticing (or even enjoying) its inclusion. The other, while hidden away, was much more disappointing to me because it felt like they'd taken something that absolutely didn't fit in the 1920s world and had made no effort to camouflage it. In other escape rooms, I would probably not have noticed, but they'd gone to so much effort with the rest of the game that it really grated.
The puzzles were the aspect I had most concerns about before playing, but my fears were unfounded. There might not have been anything that blew me away but there was a decent variety on offer and they ramped up in quality throughout the game. I'd have liked to see more by way of physical puzzles – while there were some with physical interactions which provided good additions to the game, I felt like it just lacked a little on the "skill" challenge side of things.
For me it felt a fairly linear game but, chatting to our sister team afterwards, we came to the realisation that you could solve the puzzles in a slightly different order, causing it to become a far more open game than we had experienced. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with that, but it did mean that their game was significantly more complex than ours – at any given point we had a smaller amount of information to access and consequently found it easier to find the solutions.
The final puzzles fitted well with the theme and provided a welcome and unusual ending. My only concern is that it wasn't always obvious in that finale which puzzles we had all the information for and which were still unavailable. As a result, we spent a fair amount of time searching the room for entirely the wrong thing. With such an expansive game, that was a particularly painful endeavour which took the edge off that endgame. Overall though, a strong ending.
We escaped in 43 minutes with a solitary clue to help us with a search fail.
I was extremely dubious as to whether Tulleys could deliver a good escape room experience. Yes, they had the background in set design and event hosting from their other experiences, but could they deliver the puzzles and – critically, – the puzzle flow to go with them?
The answer is a resounding "yes". There's a gentle introduction to help novices find their feet, followed by a long run of tough but logical challenges to keep you going. The game looks good and the physical layout adds to the experience. The only real weakness is the story and mission, which I felt could have been just a little more tangible.
This is one of those games that I think will be reasonably challenging for enthusiasts while still being accessible for beginners – we took along four people and were still kept reasonably busy. It's probably worth taking along one or two extra if you're a novice team, while enthusiasts could get away with just three for a slightly more pressured time.
We didn't have lunch here, but we did stop off for a slice of cake in the farm tea shop. It's a spacious building with plenty of seating and a decent-looking menu, so I could well imagine people booking in for a couple of games and having a relaxed lunch in the middle. I can't help you with lunch recommendations, but I can tell you that both the Victoria sponge and the carrot cake were excellent. Not that I had both. Heaven forbid…
Full disclosure: We weren't charged for these tickets. That doesn't influence the review – you can read more on the About page.

"Red Globes" is an oil painting on canvas, 30" x 30". The background is black and white striped fabric. The silver bowl and the brass goblet show the striped reflections. There are two red globes which are also reflected in the silver and brass.
Yippee!! I got a painting excepted into the Oil Painters Of America Natioanl exhibit. There are over 2,400 entries in this show and only 200 are accepted!
I entered my painting 'Jack in the Box' . The image above is a detail.
The exhibit this year will be in Santa Fe with the opening on May 1. I'll have more details later.
And here's a part of the painting that I haven't been showing. You can see the differnet textures in the pants, the boots and the wood.
RED! I love the color red. I continued glazing the red scarf and the yellow ribbon. I painted a thin layer of white on the paper, covering the details on the paper. I will bring them out again later.
I added a purple glaze to Howdy's scarf, a red glaze to his shirt and a bluish glaze to the pants. His hands and feet are also glazed.
My glazing is done by adding Liquin to my paint. You just need a small amount if you are using transparent colors and a bit more liquin with the semi transparant colors. Opaque colors can not be used as a true glaze.
Tomorrow I will add the finishing touches.
Ok. The painting is starting to come together. I put in the details of the wood background. The underpainting is complete and now I'm just glazing. I started my first red glaze on the scarf and the yellow glaze on the ribbon. I've started adding detail to the paper.
As you can see, I jump around a bit. I get so excited about wanting to see what the painting is going to look like that I paint a little bit of every object.
PS The Art show in Santa Fe was a HUGE success!
Today I put a neutral gray layer on the background. The Raw sienna still shows through. I also refined the badge, brightened the lower left corner of the paper (this is a copy of Howdy Doody's patent), started defining the printing on the paper, added shadows and just started adding more details.
I've had many people ask me how I create my paintings. I've decided its time to do a Show and Tell. This is my painting The Making of a Cowboy. I start by setting up a still life and photographing it. I use the photographs as well as the actual still life object to create my painting. You can see my marionette hanging from my easel.
I start by toning my background. In this painting I used a raw sienna. I then draw my still life on tracing paper and then transfer the drawing to my canvas when the toning layer has dried.
I've Got the Blues is an oil painting on canvas, 20″ x 18″. It is another in my series of black and white striped paintings. It shows three wine glasses against the striped background. I love the way the stripes show through the transparent glass.
Remember when movies cost a dime and the cowboy serials were all the rage? Ok, neither do I. But this painting Saturday Matinee brings those time back with a Tom Mix poster, our favorite cowboy, Howdy Doody, a cowgirl sweetheart, American Indian, a horse and a six shooter. What more do you need?


To determine the effect of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS).PLATO (n = 18,624) was a multicentre, double-blind, randomized trial in ACS, that showed a 16% reduction in cardiovascular death (CV-death), myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke with ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel, without significant increase in overall major bleeding. We performed a post-hoc analysis of cardiovascular and bleeding outcomes in PLATO according to reported PAD status at baseline. At one year, CV death, MI or stroke occurred in 19.3% of patients with PAD (n = 1144) compared to 10.2% in patients without PAD (p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier one year event rate for the primary endpoint of CV death, MI or stroke in PAD patients treated with ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel, was 18% vs 20.6% (HR: 0.85 95% CI 0.64-1.11; for PAD status by treatment interaction, p = 0.99) and for death from any cause 8.7% vs 11.9%, (HR: 0.74 95% CI 0.50-1.08; interaction p = 0.73). PLATO-defined major bleeding event rates at one year were 14.8% for ticagrelor compared to 17.9% for clopidogrel, (HR: 0.81 95% CI 0.59-1.10; interaction p = 0.09).PAD patients have a high rate of ischaemic and bleeding events post ACS. The reduction of CV death, MI or stroke with ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel in PAD patients was consistent with the overall trial result although it did not reach statistical significance. Overall major bleeding was similar between the therapies.

A Letter Which Is Not Read
By Tamar Fox | December 12, 2008
How To Read Eshet Hayil
My Jewish Learning is a not-for-profit and relies on your help
I've been dreaming about my mother a lot recently. A while back I wrote about how I'm not one of those people who plans to hang out with dead people in her dreams. I've always found that whole concept to be a bit cheesy. I stand by that, but I am also a little humbled/chastened by the last week and a half, during which I have experienced a seemingly endless supply of nightmares in which my mother dies over and over again. Variations include my mother coming back to life but someone else in my immediately family suddenly dying in a gruesome way, or my mother and me watching someone else die (once, strangely enough, it was the Crocodile Hunter).
I have tried a number of things to get the dreams to go away with varying levels of success. Drinking lots of whiskey before bed has proved risky, because I have to be able to get up pretty early in the morning for minyan. Sleeping pills freak me out. Sometimes sleeping with the TV on is a good antidote, though it doesn't make for a very restful night.
We have an article on dreams and the interpretation of dreams that just scratches the surface of the rabbinic understandings of dreams. The most famous and interesting discussion of dreams in the Talmud comes from Brakhot 55a:
R. Hisda also said: A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read. R. Hisda also said: Neither a good dream nor a bad dream is ever wholly fulfilled. R. Hisda also said: A bad dream is better than a good dream. R. Hisda also said: The sadness caused by a bad dream is sufficient for it and the joy which a good dream gives is sufficient for it. R. Joseph said: Even for me the joy caused by a good dream nullifies it. R. Hisda also said: A bad dream is worse than being severely scolded, since it says, God does it that men should fear before Him (Ecc 3:14) and Rabbah b. Bar Hanah said in the name of R. Johanan: This refers to a bad dream.
I love that first line, "A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read." It reminds me, in a gentle way, of the hundreds of letters and notes my mother sent me, and how many of them I still have. When my sisters and I were babies my mom wrote us letters that she stashed in our baby books, and we all read them for the first time during the week of shiva. In mine, written to me when I was two, my mother noted that she would often wake up in the middle of the night to find that I was awake in my room, and involved in some sort of "project." Since I still stay up until all hours of the night doing projects, this was especially moving and amusing.
That letter from my mother went unread for 22 years. And now the dreams I'm having–I'm terrified to interpret them, and I'm shaken by their presence, but in a small frightening way I don't want them to stop. A moment with my mother, no matter how real or upsetting it is, is still a moment with someone who is gone. Part of me wants to keep the letter unread, just to have it.
The Waking by Theodore Roethke
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.

Monday Morning Hangover: Another Calm Monday
By Johnfen | Oct 11, 2010 | 9:21AM
I didn't like the Texans' chanced going into this game, and people told me I was crazy. ?I kept thinking about what Perry Fewell said about the defense as the team ended the preseason.
He basically told us this defense of his would take some time to get rooted. I think that's happened. The Giants are stopping the run and daring opponents to pass against them, ?exposing quarterbacks to their unending pass rush in the process.
That pass rush has looked like a flash flood as of late - a quick, powerful deluge that wipes out even the most prepared victims.

On the Beat: Reporters' Picks
By snygiants1 | Oct 10, 2010 | 9:06AM
Ralph Vacchiano, Daily News: This really isn?t a much easier spot for the Giants than the Colts game was three weeks ago - - with the only differences being that the Texans aren?t as battle tested as Indy and they aren?t angry and desperate to avoid a slow start. But the Texans are good and they?ve got all the ingredients to make a long run this season - - the pass rush, the running game, the quarterback, the receivers. The Giants ? well, they?re just not clicking. I know what they did to the Bears, but here?s the part I can?t get out of my head: As dominant as they looked in that game, it was 10-3 in the fourth quarter when Ahmad Bradshaw lost the ball en route to what should?ve been a game-sealing touchdown. They came closer to losing that game most people remember. Plus, that overwhelming defensive performance had a lot to do with the Bears? bad, injured line, Mike Martz?s dumb coaching mistakes, and a shell-shocked Jay Cutler. Also, teams learn. Remember the 12-sack game the Giants had against the Eagles in 2007? They had a total of one the following week. If this game were home, maybe I?d have more faith that the Giants could put it all together. But with their turnover issues, with a slew of injuries, a long road trip, and a talented Texans offense? They won?t be blown out like they were in Indy, but winning this game might be just a little too much to ask. TEXANS 31, GIANTS 21
Paul Schwartz, New York Post: This is the most balanced team the Giants have faced thus far, and they will have to be at their very best to leave Texas with a victory. Don?t like how hobbled Bradshaw seems to be, still too many elements (special teams, turnovers) lacking consistency and return of linebacker Brian Cushing should inspire home team.

Can Texans' Balanced Offense Thwart Giants' Pass Rush?
By Johnfen | Oct 9, 2010 | 4:17PM
From Chris Duncan of the AP.....
"Schaub has been sacked 11 times in the first four games ? second-most in the league along with Kyle Orton and Michael Vick ? though the Raiders didn't get to him last weekend.
Even with the sacks, Houston ranks second in the league in total offense (415.5 yards per game) and has put up big numbers both running and passing, though usually not in the same game. The Texans said the Bears and offensive coordinator Mike Martz were too predictable in their play-calling and it cost them against New York.

Houston, We Have a Defense
By snygiants1 | Oct 8, 2010 | 6:06AM
The Giants have every right to feel good about themselves following last week's dominating defensive performance against the Bears. On Sunday, the defense will be?called upon once again, this time to stop a Texans team that has one of the better offensive squads in the league. From the Daily News:
After ransacking the Bears' pass-happy attack with 10 sacks against Mike Martz's swiss cheese line, the Giants take on what defensive coordinator Perry Fewell calls the most balanced offense they have faced so far. The Texans average 415.5 yards per game behind quarterback Matt Schaub and wide receiver Andre Johnson (game-time decision)?but it all starts with a precision rushing attack that averages 172 yards a game.
That rushing attack is led by Arian Foster, who?is tops in the NFL in rushing (134.3 yards per game), total yards from scrimmage (172.3) and first downs gained (35). Houston is averaging 27 points a game, but they've also given up, on average,?25.5 points and 408 total yards (last in the NFL).

The Giants were a little healthier out on the field today as Adam Koets returned to center, shifting Rich Seubert back over to guard, David Diehl over to left tackle and Shawn Andrews back to the sidelines.

Sizing up Giants-Texans
This week the Giants go to Houston to play the 3-1 Texans, who are gaining notoriety as one of the NFL's most potent offenses. The Giants have taken a few weeks to rise from the dead and are now considered armed and dangerous - especially on defense.
Oddly enough, this game may come down to the Houston defense and the Giants' offense....
Here's some facts.
Tags: Giants-Texans, New York Giants, New York Giants Blogs, NFL Week 5
New York Giants Report For Oct 7
The Giants practiced yesterday without the services of several key players. ?The offensive line was without both centers. ?Shaun O'Hara is still hampered by his Achilles / ankle problems and Adam Koets has a bruised MCL that should not keep him out more than a day or two. ?Rich Seubert filled in at center in their absence.
As a result, the line is going through some changes. David?Diehl slid over to Seubert's spot at guard. With Will Beatty out until November, Shawn Andrews is next in line to play tackle, which he did yesterday. ?Tom Coughlin said Diehl and Andrews would alternate at tackle, but that is only if Koets is out.
Today, the Giants have a midday practice followed by press sessions with all three coordinators. The next game is Sunday in Houston against the high-flying 3-1 Texans.

Texans' Coach Kubiak Wary Of Giants' Pass Rush
We have our work cut out for us. Obviously, it was special up front with the things they do and with the people they do it with. In this league, everything starts with trying to find a way to keep your quarterback upright. That performance last week was one for the ages, it was unbelievable. We're going to have to hunker down and find a way to keep our quarterback upright the best way we can and go from there. It definitely starts with protecting the quarterback.

Tools for Business Recovery: Innovation, Communication and Flexibility, among Others
February 10, 2010 • 8 min read
Following the global crisis, poor prospects for a rapid economic recovery have led many companies around the world to come up with new strategies to keep themselves afloat. While most financial institutions are facing a change in their business model, multinationals and small and midsize firms are following their own paths, using new tools for business management. At a recent conference sponsored by business daily Expansion, business leaders described which tools they predict will be key to business recovery in a post-crisis environment. As one expert notes, "This will be a year of transition, and of political and conceptual renovation."
Following the global crisis, poor prospects for a rapid economic recovery have led many companies around the world to come up with a strategy for 2010 to keep themselves afloat. "2010 will be a year for working twice as hard and making half as much," said Javier Fernandez Aguado, professor of general management at the European Forum of the Navarre School of Business in Spain, and the author of some thirty books, including Creators in the History of Spanish Management and Leadership Creators. He was speaking at the latest conference of business leaders sponsored by Expansion, the economic daily, last December. "This will be a year of transition, and of political and conceptual renovation."
So while most financial institutions face a change in their business models, with governmental announcements about limiting their power and developing transparency, multinationals and small and midsize firms are pursuing their own paths. From a financial viewpoint, U.S. President Barack Obama has been the latest to provide his vision about the future of banking. At the beginning of January, he announced that he was setting up strict regulations for banking institutions that would limit — and even prohibit — certain financial activities in order to avoid speculation in banking markets, both on their own accounts (through proprietary trading) as well as those of third parties.
A New Business Paradigm
This announcement, applauded by the European authorities, will encompass a new paradigm for the financial sector — a renewal that the business environment will also undergo, and which will involve management and new managerial tools.
This recession has provided an inflexion point for business managers and redefined a new business paradigm. Most management experts stress that everything that has happened – from the decline in the world's main economies to governmental intervention in large financial institutions – must serve to mold the growth and model the development of every participant in the global economy: from the big international companies, which have seen how their business plans became obsolete with the financial crisis, to the family-owned firms affected by credit restrictions, high unemployment and fear that other companies would join those ranks.
In many cases, the first step that companies must carry out is to discover the new reality they are involved in. "Everyone has to know that there are ups and downs, and the important thing isn't figuring out if you have a crisis but how to manage it," said Aguado. In this context, Enrique Alcat, professor of corporate communications at the European Business School in Spain and a consultant in crisis management, noted that there are only two options: "Hide or look to the future, trusting yourself, and being pro-active and using your network of contacts. Those who choose to take positive steps will wind up afloat." He cited three concepts for becoming stronger during the current situation: preparation, prevention and transparent communication.
Reducing Expenses
Until now, most companies, both public and private, have chosen to reduce their operating costs rather than cut their revenues and profits. Taking this approach, there are many cases of business leaders who have changed their management model by making adjustments in their personnel. "Crises are crises, and we have done the same thing in all of them: reduce costs," said José María Ortiz, director of the Excellens Program (which comprises Administration and Corporate Management, Law, and a Master's degree in Human and Professional Leadership) at the Francisco de Vitoria Universia in Madrid. He pursues this policy of corporate cost savings since "reducing costs is usually synonymous with increasing control." However, you always have to go further, he added, looking for management formulas that permit recovery, such as innovation and capturing talent.
In addition, the outsourcing of many services developed in companies emerges as a possibility for cost savings, facilitating the adjustment in the plant toward the market's current needs for services.
Once these new conditions are created, experts advise that it is important to emphasize the process of change, with constant care and vigilance and, of course, the possibility of actualizing the model, and even finding the perfect formula for each business. "The most frequent mistakes in the management of change are improvisation, confusion about goals and individualism," noted José Aguilar, author of Growing after a Crisis. He is the managing partner of Mind Value, a consultancy. "Change is successful when it is rigorously planned and realistically executed, but it can fail when you don't take into account the reactions, which are perfectly predictable, of all the interest groups that are affected," he said.
According to Carlos Sánchez, managing partner of e-Motiva, a consultancy that specializes in strategic management, "There are moments when companies must face situations that are so difficult that even survival itself is at risk. Overcoming those situations successfully requires making decisions at every level that have a strong impact on people." He added, "Success in managing the process of change; cohesion and credibility of the managerial team; the decisive commitment of mid-level managers, and the attitude of the workers will be the difference between life and death for many companies."
Experts agree that innovation, committed leadership and sustainability are the most often mentioned formulas, and they must play a role in the success of the corporate recovery. "We need leaders who are in sync with the new paradigm, in which old values like individualism no longer work," said Nuria Sáez, partner of InCrescendo, a consultancy specialized in organizational change and transformation. Araceli Mendieta, who coaches executives and teams, agreed with this idea, arguing that some models were successful in the past but that it is necessary now "to be more permeable" when it comes to adopting new systems that work effectively under the new conditions created after the international crisis.
According to Javier Martín de la Fuente, partner of Person'a, a professional career services consultancy, companies can no longer continue to be anchored in a culture focused on costs, but must commit to innovation. This means not only Research and Development, which has a more technological meaning, but also the creation of open spaces where creativity in the business environment can be encouraged.
Clearly, innovation as the key to success is the doctrine most often repeated by management experts. Looking for alternative paths; pursuing the maxim of "if something does not work, try something different"; taking on risks and committing to talent; and getting everyone in the company involved in the process. "The only people who can expand organizations indefinitely are those whose future involves treating people in a humane and dignified way," noted Aguado.
"2010 offers an excellent opportunity to give more weight to people in organizations, and to break this barrier between personnel and management," added Mendienta, who pleads for "flexibility" when it is time to interact with new generations as the best formula for breaking the barrier in the business environment.
As a result, it is very important for managers to communicate all managerial policies that the company is going to carry out, so that their staff can understand them and implement them. "Employees are the company's most important clients, and it is something that should not be forgotten, especially now that negative decisions require more explanations and there are companies that are in a deteriorating condition," warned Alcat.
"Communication is a basic tool for softening the impact of contrary reactions, and building constructive reactions in situations of change," notes Jose Aguilar. He believes that workers' commitment to their respective companies "is a little bit lacking but it is increasing." He forecasts that "the capacity to give and generate commitment is a competency that in coming years will play a more important role when it is time to promote people into key positions."
A New Model for Management
Business managers need to be able to carry out this sort of transparent communication between the different components in an organization. The current situation seems to have sent into exile the so-called "shark managers," and favors those managers who are closer and more charismatic — those who get the entire team involved and committed to the decisions that are taken. "Management in the coming decade will be talking about concepts such as the humanity, authenticity and generosity of directors. You have to create strong personalities so that when the first storm hits, there are no leaders who collapse and repeat old patterns," added Sáez.
Pascual Montañés, professor of strategy at the IE Business School, agreed and was very critical of the current situation for managers. "There are more than enough charismatic leaders, but there is a shortage of strategists." Montañés added there is a need for deep analysis and a long-term vision in the top management.
In his book, Preparing for the Crisis: Lessons from Classical Greece, Fernández Aguado defends values such as reason, discretion and humility as ways to reach sustainability over time. For Aguado, the new recipes for dealing with the storm will only work out if they are implanted simultaneously in every layer of the global economic environment. Aguado emphasizes the need to take account of other external factors, such as the role played by various public agencies and international organizations (such as supranational organizations, including the European Union's decision-making council and such groups as the G-20, which brings together senior representatives from the great global powers), as well as internal organizations, for which corporate policies aimed at sustainable growth are most important.
