Following the suspension of a Bronx English teacher who assigned 11th graders a short story about tragic masturbation attempts, students have defended the instructor while adults have expressed skepticism over his decision. Louella Hatch, whose grandson attends the Bronx School of Law and Finance, is one of the adults who objects to teacher Greg Van Voorhis’ assignment of “Guts” by “Fight Club” author Chuck Palahniuk. “Well, I really don’t go for that. Well, I’m old fashioned anyway, but I don’t like things like that,” she said. “If it is true, he can’t still be around the school, you know?” she added.
But kids are supporting their teacher, both to the press, and in more colorful language on the Facebook group “Save Mr. V.”
“c’mon people, it’s 2009 - not 1809. check out what even little elementary kids are watching and playing on a daily basis. at least these kids were READING.”
“Okay so its a gross short story from a very popular author. Perhaps a poor choice, but it’s 11th grade and its the Bronx, not 6th grade in Kentucky.”
“if your 17 years old i think u should know how to masturbate….soo its pathetic that there giving him shitt =D” Read more..
Luxury apartments at the Solaria high-rise in Riverdale are going up for auction on Nov. 22, with starting bids at nearly half-price.
It’s either been a lonely or very exclusive three years for the occupants of 10 apartments in this fancy high-rise Bronx condo.
After years of being battered by a slumping economy and stagnant sales, developers of the swanky Solaria in Riverdale are hoping the market is back by trying a new sales technique.
They are putting 54 of the long-empty condos on the auction block - with starting bids around half the original asking prices.
The auction, slated for 1 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the Sheraton New York in Manhattan, is being billed as the largest auction in the Northeast.
“This is really a great opportunity for folks,” said Jim Corum, president of Real Estate Disposition, the auction company running the sale.

”I’m not aware of another luxury condominium, especially in New York City, coming up for auction.”
