The NBA/WNBA Pay Gap
By: Ariel Rubin I have watched many videos of women complaining about not being paid as much as men. I don’t know much about that, so I won’t comment. But I have also seen videos of WNBA players complaining about not getting paid as much as the men in the NBA. On this point, I disagree. In this article, I’ll use logic to prove that these critics are incorrect in their demand for more money. This reason isn't really the WNBA's fault. It's that the WNBA has only been around fo

Redefining the Term “Out-of-Towner”
By: Josh Portnoy Often at TABC, I notice people throwing around the term, “Out-of-towner”. I certainly have no problem with the term in and of itself; it’s just used to describe those not living in the Bergen County area. However, in my opinion, the way it is often used is a little bit off. When using the term, many people will use it in the context of dividing those who are and are not out-of-towners. We can use one of TABC’s most enjoyed programs, night seder, as an exam

JV Basketball
By: Jojo Jacobov This Wednesday night, the TABC JV basketball team will play the Hillel Heat at home. After an amazing game last Thursday, everyone is excited to see what will happen next. Last week, TABC played DRS and performed well. Two players really stood out. Ezra Adams scored 17 points and played with a lot of energy. In addition, Tani Stein scored 18 points and helped lead the team to a strong game. Together, these two players scored 35 points and kept the crowd chee

What do we do with all this snow?
By: Judah Portnoy 2026 has been a huge year for snow lovers. So far, there have been two massive snowstorms, both producing about a foot of snow. Both have been so severe that New York and New Jersey have both declared states of emergency. If you’ve ever had the unfortunate job of plowing snow off your driveway and street, you would know it is not at all as fun as receiving an email declaring that school’s been cancelled. It’s always surprising when you wake up in the mornin

Why is it Snowing so Much More this Year
By: Amital Sarna As we’ve all seen this year, there’s been huge amounts of snow and two massive snowstorms. The question is: why? What has happened to the Earth to cause this uptick in snow recently? You might think that there would actually be less snow due to global warming, but this hasn’t been the case. Due to the warming atmosphere, there’s been more evaporation, which causes more rain and, in below-freezing weather, more snow. According to the Environmental Defense

What Happened to Microchip Prices?
By: Noah Solinga My computer recently ran out of storage. Luckily, it has upgradable RAM and storage. I was putting off this upgrade for a while, but the time has come. When I first went looking for an Solid-State Drive (or SSD) that would allow me further storage capacity, I was expecting to find one that would grant me 1 Terabyte of space for around $80; however, I found most 1-TB sticks with decent read and write speeds cost upwards of $150. While I am a victim of the v

Why are the Jets Bad?
By: Shlomo Shulman For over a decade, the New York Jets have struggled to be competitive in the NFL. Even though they have had frequent coaching changes and many high draft picks, they remain near the bottom five teams in the league and have not had a winning season since 2015, when they finished 10–6. The team’s poor performance can be traced back to several different reasons, not just one. One of the key reasons for their lack of success is inconsistent leadership from hea

The Impact of NIL on Athletes' Decisions
By: Jacob Schmutter In recent months, the issue of college eligibility has sparked controversy as student athletes are returning to college or gaining extra years of eligibility. This is due to the so-called “NIL” rules. This acronym stands for “Name, Image and Likeness,” and these rules allow college athletes to profit from their fame playing on the field. Over the past couple of months, several athletes have returned to college after being drafted by the NBA or playing over

Iran's Road to Destruction
By: Yehuda Singer Iran seems to be in a pretty bad position now. There were recently anti-government riots all across Iran due to the terrible economy, as the Rial (Iranian currency) is 0.00083 cents to the dollar. But it wasn’t always like this. Iran once had the support of most of the country, which is how this theocracy came to be. In 1977, under the leadership of the Shah, Iran's economy was going strong; they had invested in many companies and were trading with most Wes

Fitness Trends That Actually Work: What Science Says
By: Gabe Rosenbluth Fitness regimes often get incredibly popular for very brief periods – everybody will be attempting to complete an exercise regimen as if it’s the newest thing, and then it disappears overnight. There are so many workout programs online that many individuals find it difficult to determine which programs really help with overall fitness and which ones simply look good on social media. However, research has confirmed that several well-supported, credible fitn
