<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">If the planet is getting warmer, why is it so cold this winter?</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">The seeming contradiction comes up often when talking to Judah Cohen, a research scientist at M.I.T. who has been studying how global warming might also be causing colder winters in the eastern United States.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">The idea, explained Dr. Cohen, is that a warming Arctic can cause a high-altitude ribbon of air called the polar vortex to stretch and wobble. That wobble can affect the flow of the jet stream that controls much of the atmospheric conditions over the United States, causing waves of high and low pressure that affect our daily weather.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">For weeks, a mass of frigid air over the North Pole has dipped into eastern North America, bringing record cold temperatures for a prolonged period. In the West, a ridge of warm, dry air has stalled for weeks, panicking <a class="yiv5886375595css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/travel/snow-drought-ski-rocky-mountains.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ski resort operators</a> and prompting concerns for communities that rely on a healthy <a class="yiv5886375595css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/science/snow-drought-climate-change-west.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">snowpack for drinking water</a> in the summer months.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">The polar vortex stretched and wobbled in February 2021, causing a prolonged deep freeze that killed 248 people in Texas and knocked out power for millions. The same wobble reappeared in the winter of 2024-2025 and again last month, causing blizzard conditions across the East and an icy blast.</p>

<div class="yiv5886375595css-s99gbd yiv5886375595StoryBodyCompanionColumn">
<div class="yiv5886375595css-53u6y8">
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">Dr. Cohen expects the grip of cold temperatures to continue throughout February.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">“It’s weird what’s going on now in the stratosphere,” Dr. Cohen said. “These stretching events happen every winter, but just how the pattern is stuck is really remarkable.”</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">Climate warming in the Arctic is causing this disruption of the polar vortex, Dr. Cohen said. With more snowfall in Siberia and melting sea ice in the Barents and Kara seas, just north of Norway and Russia, the ocean is feeding more heat into the atmosphere, setting up a weather pattern that leads to a burst of extreme cold in North America.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">Dr. Cohen cowrote a study in the <a class="yiv5886375595css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adq9557" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">journal Science</a> last year that linked the stretching of the polar vortex to more frequent severe winter weather in the United States in the past decade. A new analysis by Dr. Cohen and colleagues finds that a warming Arctic is also making the wobble in the polar vortex last longer.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">“This is very consistent with this winter,” he said.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">Not all scientists agree.</p>
<p class="yiv5886375595css-ac37hb yiv5886375595evys1bk0">“These are interesting ideas,” said Russell Blackport, a research scientist at Environment and Climate Change Canada. “But I’m very skeptical. When I look at these papers, they’re often not that convincing.”</p>

<h3>Randall Law</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Is a creator in the truest sense of the word—someone who doesn’t just imagine what <em>could</em> be, but builds it for the people who need it most.</p>
<p>Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, Randall’s journey blends creativity, purpose, and an unshakable commitment to legacy. He is the creator of the <strong>Kool World mascot, Kooli </strong>a character that has grown into a movement rooted in inclusion, confidence, and community pride.</p>
<p>Before Kooli ever stepped into the world, Randall’s creative path stretched across national platforms. His work includes appearances in national commercials and campaigns connected to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, DrugFreeWorld.org, and multiple GOOD Magazine projects. Along the way, his impact and leadership earned him recognition such as the <strong>2025 Excellence in Public Service Award</strong>, <strong>2024 MILLSUMMIT Impact Award</strong>, <strong>2023 DBT 40 Under 40</strong>, and the <strong>2022 400 Years of African American History Commission Award</strong>. He is also a proud graduate of the prestigious <strong>James H. Gilliam Fellows Program</strong> through the Wilmington Urban League.</p>
<p>Today, Randall Law continues to lead with intention as a father, husband, entrepreneur, and sought-after motivational speaker. Through K-12 schools, special events, and community programs, he challenges young people including adults to dream bigger, think differently, and believe out loud.</p>
<p>His guiding motto says it all:</p>
<p><strong>“Let’s make the world KOOL again.”</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Birth of Kooli: From Idea to Impact</h2>
<h3>The idea for Kooli didn’t start as a mascot, it started as a question.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While building his apparel brand Kool Kolored Kid Generation, Randall asked himself: <em>What am I really trying to do?</em></p>
<p>The answer was simple, yet powerful: <strong>change the world</strong>.</p>
<p>In 2022, inspired by iconic character-driven brands and symbols that unite people across cultures, Randall began sketching a character. The early concept was influenced by classic cartoons like Bart Simpson, but the vision quickly evolved into something bigger—something global.</p>
<p>During a late-night brainstorming session, with music playing from one of his favorite artists, J. Cole, Randall heard the lyric “<strong>Cole World</strong>” from the song <em>Who Dat</em>. In that moment, it sounded like <strong>“Cool World.”</strong> That spark changed everything.</p>
<p>“Cool World” became <strong>Kool World</strong>—a name that aligned perfectly with Kool Kolored Kid Generation. Randall removed the head from the original sketch and replaced it with the Earth, symbolizing unity, diversity, and shared responsibility. He dressed the character in KKKG apparel, and for the first time, Kooli had an identity.</p>
<p>But the mission didn’t fully reveal itself until Randall visited Nemours Children’s Health after a back-to-school initiative. Inside the hospital, he noticed children who rarely, if ever, got the chance to leave. He walked away asking a new question:</p>
<p><em>How can I bring the joy, inspiration, and community impact from outside the walls—inside?</em></p>
<p>That moment turned courage into action. Randall pitched the idea of a purpose-driven mascot to Nemours—one designed to engage hospitals, schools, and community spaces while inspiring kids and families to believe in their own power to create change.</p>
<p>kooli is high fived as he enters.</p>
<h2>Kooli Steps Into the World</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On <strong>August 10, 2024</strong>, Kooli made his official debut at the <strong>100 Pairs to Give x3</strong> event at William Penn High School—standing tall in front of <strong>400+ attendees</strong>, students from four school districts, families, and community leaders. Kooli was welcomed alongside other beloved mascots, marking the beginning of something historic.</p>
<p>Just months later, in December 2024, KKKG partnered with Main Event, Londyn’s Corner, and Ambitious Pathways to launch <strong>Kooli’s Corner Christmas Giveaway</strong>, serving <strong>100 foster children and their families</strong> with unlimited games, food, gifts, and unforgettable memories.</p>
<p>In just one year, <strong>Kooli has appeared at 37 events and engaged more than 18,092 individuals</strong>—and the journey is only getting started.</p>
<p><strong>Randall’s</strong> story and<strong> Kooli’s </strong>stand as proof that when creativity meets courage, and purpose meets action, joy can become a legacy that touches generations.</p>

<p><strong>About Our School</strong></p>
<p>Located in southern Westchester county, approximately 20 miles north of New York City, and standing above the east bank of the Hudson River, Sleepy Hollow High School serves approximately 850 ethnically and socio-economically diverse students in grades 9 through 12 from the villages of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.</p>
<p>We have become a community of choice for families who value our “snap shot” of the real world: Our community is a destination point for families immigrating from the Caribbean and Latin America, and home to families who have been in our villages for generations; families who can afford to send their children to any one of a number of private schools in the area, choose instead to have their children attend our public school. Collectively, these families created and provide continuous support for The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to supplement our educational program.</p>
<p>In October 1957, Sleepy Hollow High School was the focus of an article “New buildings won’t educate your children” in Woman’s Day magazine. Although the 1957 physical plant was deemed “as handsome a high school as any in America,” the renovated curriculum was recognized as enabling our graduates to have “a better chance today than ever before to become all that they are capable of.” While our sprawling building on its scenic campus had been well maintained and consistently upgraded, it experienced many of the facilities restrictions of comparable structures built in the 1950s and has undergone major renovations and expansion over the last two years: One hundred thousand square feet of state-of-the-art science labs, art studios, a gymnasium that boasts a fitness center and dedicated wrestling room, an auditorium that seats 750 and provides professional quality sound and light engineering, a renovated and expanded Library Media Center, a cafeteria with a food court, wireless capability throughout the building, and more than 20 new classrooms now overlook the Hudson River. All pre-existing classrooms are refurbished, outfitted with Smartboards, and white boards have replaced 1957 black boards. What hasn’t changed since 1957 is the public and academic communities’ shared belief that there is “no substitute for a solid foundation” in education. Sleepy Hollow curriculum is continually examined and adjusted to meet or exceed best-practices.</p>
<p>In 2008, Sleepy Hollow was selected by the Magellan foundation to represent one of three exemplary New York State high schools to have programs and practices that lead to high graduation and low drop-out rates. Sleepy Hollow was among the top 40 from over 640 schools to reach benchmark graduation rate standards and was one of five exemplary high schools chosen for in-depth research, study, and visitation by the Magellan Foundation. In 2009, the United States Department of Education featured us on their website “Doing What Works” as one of five schools nationally identified as putting best practices in action to achieve graduation.</p>
<p>Our comprehensive high school programs are designed to meet the needs of each adolescent we serve. We build relationships with our students and their families that guide everyone through the stress and strife of adolescence. Thriving athletic and performing arts programs are complemented by an extensive extra curricular program. A new source of pride is our award winning student-produced Multimedia Production Team, recipient of Honorable Mention in the Adobe Max competition for professional international media developers; Sleepy Hollow’s team came in second to Homeland Security and NASA Space Center. In 2008, the team has produced over 14 hours of programming for our local educational channel 77; check it out at <a href="http://www.sleepyhollowhits.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.sleepyhollowhits.com</a>.</p>
<p>We have established extensive partnerships with local colleges, corporations, and the community at large. Support from local historical and business resources has made our community an extension of our campus; students conduct research and participate in internships as an integral part of our academic program.</p>
<p>Our creativity and commitment has been acknowledged through consistently passed local school budgets, and the award of state, federal, and private foundation grants. Locally, smaller grants have provided funding for cultural trips for students, added instruments to our band and orchestra, audio equipment for our multimedia students, robotic kits for AP Physics students, a gardening component to our Life Skills curriculum for our most handicapped students, and provided a weather station for our Earth Science students.</p>
<p>We are proud of our students’ records of accomplishment. An impressive percentage of students from the Class of 2009—89%—continued their studies in higher education. In the recent past, our top students have matriculated at Emory, Wesleyan, Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, Northwestern, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, USC, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Vassar, Stanford, Tufts, and Middlebury. We are equally proud of the many first generation graduates we send to local and community colleges. Annually, our students earn an impressive number of scholarship dollars, averaging in excess of $280,000 in each of the last five years.</p>
<p>A key factor to our success is the involvement of our parents in their children’s education; parents feel welcome at our school. Our PTSA sponsors Parent-to-Parent Nights. These events, offered in English and Spanish, enable parents to share strategies for raising a teenager. The PTSA, The Foundation, and our Sports and Performing Arts Boosters raise funds for our curricular and extra curricular programs. Our Parenting Center, located in the heart of the village, provides information about all district schools and a wide range of support for parents.</p>
<p>Sleepy Hollow is an exciting place for students and staff to work and learn together. If any school community can demonstrate that public education is alive and well, it is ours. Our school slogan, “Sleepy Hollow, Say it Proudly” sums up the collective commitment to our school.</p>

<p>Heart disease remains on the rise in the United States. Most people are aware of common risk factors like high blood pressure and bad cholesterol, but there&#8217;s one lesser-known, inherited heart disease risk factor that affects millions and is passed down through families. It’s called lipoprotein(a), (lip-o-pro-teen-a) or Lp(a), (L-P-little A) and experts say having a high level can independently increase the risk of having a heart event such as a heart attack or stroke.</p>
<p>Joining us now is Dr. Icilma (EYE-SIL-MA) Fergus, (Fur-GUS) Professor of Medicine, Director of Cardiovascular Disparities and Clinical Lipidology at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, and Lynn, who is living with high L-p(a), to talk about this hidden heart risk and what you should know.</p>

September is National Cholesterol Education Month, an annual observance aimed at raising awareness about the importance of managing cholesterol levels. The month is dedicated to educating the public about the heart disease risks associated with high cholesterol and the steps individuals can take to help maintain healthy levels.   It’s the perfect time to meet the animated characters called the “Lipid Lurkers”—a visual representation of an often-unnoticed risk lurking in patients’ artery walls. While they may look small and silly, they represent a very real and dangerous health threat. Fat and cholesterol are types of lipids transported through the blood. Certain types of lipids, particularly LDL-C or “bad” cholesterol, can lead to buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke.   This campaign was created to help educate and empower the nearly 100 million U.S. adults with high LDL-C—especially those who can’t take statins (medications to lower cholesterol) or who have uncontrolled cholesterol and haven’t reached their target levels despite treatment.   Now, there are solutions that offer an alternative to statins— additional options for lowering LDL cholesterol—while also lowering the risk of heart attacks and heart procedures like stent placement or bypass surgery    On Wednesday, September 10, LeAnne Bloedon, MS, RD, Vice President, Clinical Development at Esperion Therapeutics, will be available to discuss the havoc that too much bad cholesterol can cause inside artery walls—and how to lower your cholesterol.   She’ll also outline:   What high LDL cholesterol really does to your body (and why it’s often silent) Why managing cholesterol matters before your first cardiovascular event How the “Lipid Lurkers” campaign is making heart health more accessible, relatable, and even fun Who’s at risk—and what new options are available beyond traditional statins <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/esperions-lipid-lurkers-campaign-sheds-light-high-ldl-cholesterol-hiding-artery-walls&amp;sa=D&amp;source=calendar&amp;usd=2&amp;usg=AOvVaw3eNgIpjavrWfoxeHFtEwFR" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/esperions-lipid-lurkers-campaign-sheds-light-high-ldl-cholesterol-hiding-artery-walls</a></p>

By: Paul Sladkus<br />
Located in the Crotona Park section in the South Bronx sits a hidden gem in<br />
Bronx Prep High School, a representative of the Democracy Prep charter system.<br />
On a rainy April evening the clouds parted and the sun shined for a group of<br />
students who were given the opportunity to be front and center for a<br />
performance of Romeo &amp; Juliet at the Metropolitan Opera as well as we’re given<br />
an opportunity to meet with members of the MET team for a “behind the scenes”<br />
adventure within the arts.<br />
School leadership led by Principal, Cassius Gil has set Bronx Prep apart from the<br />
rest of the D.O.E. through offering opportunities that many NYC students are not<br />
afforded. ““I am very very happy to be able to send kids to an incredible<br />
experience at the Metropolitan Opera and be able to watch Romeo &amp;<br />
Juliet. Teachers jumped at it, kids jumped at the chance”. Gil went on to say, “one<br />
child, when she came back, told me at the end of it that she stood up and cried”.<br />
MET representative, Jess Medoff, discussed career opportunities and answered<br />
questions to an audience of bright-eyed high schoolers from Bronx Prep, thrilled<br />
at having seen a performance that they all proclaimed exceeded their wildest<br />
expectations.<br />
BP senior, Shenoa Urbaez Romero states, “Going to the Met has been one of the<br />
best experiences I have had all year, I was able to explore an artistic environment<br />
that I had dreamed of visiting”.<br />
By all accounts, this event came to pass through a leader who quietly works with<br />
these students on a regular basis as a guest teacher in addition to his regular job<br />
as the Chief Financial Officer of the international investment platform, Alpha<br />
Innovations. Philanthropist and champion for kids / for the arts, Gene Fisch, Jr.,<br />
when asked of his motivation to orchestrate this endeavor stated that, “We grow<br />
through being exposed to opportunities and kids just need that chance, the<br />
chance to fall in love with music, with set design, with lighting. It is one thing to<br />
read Romeo &amp; Juliet, now let us immerse them into the experience! Have them<br />
close their eyes and let the words permeate throughout their bodies! Bam! You<br />
fall in love! Let’s show kids a world of awesomeness that transcends the<br />
neighborhood”.<br />
Democracy Prep’s system includes twelve schools across Harlem and the Bronx in<br />
NYC as well as campuses in Nevada and Texas.<br />
While interviewing the students we saw that most had never seen a performance<br />
of this nature, not because they would not want to, the opportunity had just not<br />
been afforded to them. Society and the educational system typically fall short<br />
when including all its young people the opportunity to experience<br />
possibilities. Such a substantial portion of NYC’s students struggle in the core<br />
areas of education which becomes a tremendous obstacle to overcome. A recent<br />
article by Julian Shen-Berro in Chalkbeat stated that “Roughly 50% proficient on<br />
reading, math exams, data shows”. “Though 51.7% of the city’s third through<br />
eighth grade students were considered on grade level based on their reading<br />
exam scores, and 49.9% were on grade level for math, student performances<br />
diverged across grades. Eighth grade students, for example, fared worse on math<br />
exams — with just 42.3% achieving proficiency, compared to 55% of third<br />
graders.”<br />
It is through the efforts of institutions such as Bronx Prep and leaders such as<br />
Cassius Gil and Gene Fisch, Jr. that can help improve upon these results and<br />
overcome the deficiencies within the system.<br />
Gene Fisch, Jr. went on to say, “kids learn from what they hear and sometimes<br />
make pre-judgements based on how people look or what culture they come<br />
from. Maybe if we educate children to judge people by their actions towards<br />
them versus what they are told to believe the heritages represent, society will be<br />
the better for it and we can eliminate a small portion of hate in the world.”<br />
Drop the mic.<br />
Kudos to Gene Fisch Jr, and the entire community of Democracy Prep. All are<br />
diamonds in the South Bronx</p>

<p>Boxes from items like jewelry or electronics left curbside for trash collection provide good indicators to potential burglars about what high-value items are located in the house.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t broadcast your activities over the Internet. Criminals troll through pages hoping to find tips and clues on empty houses. Posts on social media sites about an upcoming vacation can be an invitation to someone looking to burglarize your home.</p>
<p>Preparing food:</p>
<p>Fully thaw your turkey before lowering it into a turkey frier. A frozen turkey and boiling hot oil are a recipe for a fire. Make sure all friers and grills are at least 20 feet from the house and not under the porch roofs or around combustibles. Have a fire extinguisher nearby to be ready for an unexpected fire.</p>
<p>Make sure to refrigerate cooked foods within 2 hours to avoid the growth of bacteria. Consume refrigerated leftovers within 4 days.</p>
<p>The holiday season is one of the most special times of the year for the Army Reserve with Soldiers and their families celebrating their own unique traditions. Many of us are eager to catch up on travel and precious time with family and friends. However, we can all do our part to avoid unnecessary risk, since they can become more prevalent when distracted by holiday activities.</p>
<p>Whether you’re planning to stay home and host for the holidays or travel to be with your loved ones, getting tips from an expert can make for a smooth holiday season. One of those experts is Michael Tulley, U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) Safety Director, whose career is focused on mitigating risk. Through his experiences in service as a Soldier, and now a Civilian, Mr. Tulley knows firsthand that continuously reassessing hazards and adjusting mitigation strategies as conditions change is just as effective off duty as it is during a mission.</p>
<p>There are many ways we can protect our families and homes during the upcoming holiday season including:</p>
<p>Planning and ensuring the car is safe before and during road trips</p>
<p>Practicing safety as you decorate</p>
<p>Following food safety standards in cooking and storing foods</p>
<p>Discreetly disposing of trash from high-value items</p>
<p>Being mindful of social media posts about upcoming travel</p>
