Residents of The Big Apple have been told to practice the act of Hibernating and to spend this frosty winter day inside close quarters, just like bears and other animals. It is bear-y cold outside, folks.

What about the ones living without heat, or workers who have to be outdoors in this cold weather for a prolonged time can be dangerous. The mayor says to protect yourself and help others who may be at increased risk of health problems from the cold.

Jack A. Frost has been named President and Chief Operating Officer of Tutor Perini Corporation. The civil and building construction company is building the so called "new and improved" City Island Bridge.

The Big Apple will be more like NYC on Ice . An arctic cold front packing dangerous winds of up to 60 mph could make it feel like it’s 20 below zero by Sunday — the coldest wind-chill factor since 1993’s “Storm of the Century,” forecasters warned. Sunday morning conditions will be downright dangerous, with 6 degrees or lower.

Lawsuits have been filed against MIT and Harvard University for failing to provide closed captioning in online teaching materials, which claim to be in violation of federal anti-discrimination laws.

The lawsuits were filed by the National Association of the Deaf, and it seeks an injunction requiring that closed captioning be provided for all online materials.

These institutions for higher learning provide free online educational resources, and through membership in edX, which offers dozens of MOOCs to students worldwide.
