The Board of Education sought to fire Superintendent of Schools Edward Favolise after allegations surfaced that he sexually harassed a former employee and paid for her legal defense against a lawsuit filed by the board, sources have revealed. Four independent sources confirmed the board took action against Favolise in February after former special education director Susan Kaufman revealed that Favolise had paid her about $40,000 to defend herself against the lawsuit. Sources said Favolise paid Kaufman about $20,000 in cash and $20,000 in a check, using his own money.

A few weeks ago when I was speculating about whether my car is alive or not, I was just joking. Pretty much. The car is not alive in the way we think of trees, cats, crows, spiders, amoebas and humans as being "alive." The car pesters me with buzz alarms, mystery engine lights and unwanted locking because it is a multitasking labor-saving device. In a previous lifetime when I used to be a college teacher, a topic the students raised in virtually every class was: Things We Shouldn't Have to Do. For example, every group contained members who took it for granted that Students Should Not Have to Attend Class. Some argued that Students Should Not Have to Read the Whole Book. Others thought Students Should Not Have to Take Final Exams. Students Should Not Have to Write Too Many Papers in One ...

NEW YORK, Nov 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Money and the economy are stressing New Yorkers, with each equally likely to be mentioned as a leading cause of stress in New York City. New Yorkers are also more likely than Americans overall to cite the economy, personal health concerns, and housing costs as significant sources of stress. Seventy-five percent of New York City residents cite the economy as a stressor, compared to 65 percent nationally, according to a survey released today by the American Psychological Association (APA) and conducted online by Harris Interactive in August 2010. However, New Yorkers are reporting lower stress levels than in 2008 and 2009, although their stress level is still higher than what they consider to be healthy. On a positive note, the survey showe...

Consider the sources To the editor -- Regarding pesticides, Bob Cheney (Letters, Nov. 8) warns against "scientists with suspicious funding sources" and "special interest groups" promoting faulty science. Mr. Cheney goes on to cite S. Fred Singer as, presumably, one of "many brilliant scientists" who dispute human-caused climate change. This is the same Dr. Singer who received funding from ExxonMobil to do climate research (http://www.sourcewatch.org/ index.php?title=S._Fred_Singer). Does Mr. Cheney really expect us to believe that the oil companies and other special interests aren't actively promoting confusion and "scientific uncertainty" over the issue of global warming?
On Sept. 12, in a My View column, Laraine and Steve Blackham cast aspersions on Herbert Hoover and his followers for supposedly pushing austerity during the first Great Depression ("Everything old is news again in our rhyming American history"). The Blackhams didn't cite any sources. Two pages later, columnist George Will quoted from the Oxford History of the United States that Hoover actually "nearly doubled federal public works spending" while in office. Moreover, "(t)hanks to (Hoover's) prodding, the net stimulating effect of federal, state and local fiscal policy was larger in 1931 than in any subsequent year of the decade.
