New Mexico to rank teacher preparation programs
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico will start rating teacher preparation programs under a plan announced by Gov. Susana Martinez and leaders of colleges and universities with programs that train educators.
Martinez said Tuesday the [auth] first rankings should be released later this year. Schools of education will be scored based on several factors, including whether their teacher graduates helped increase student achievement.
The governor also said there are plans to increase the standards for passing a state examination required to become a teacher.
Public Education Secretary Hanna Skandera said no change in law is needed to revamp the examination or establish report cards with rankings for the state's six schools of education, which graduate about 1,000 students a year who become teachers.
Administration and college officials developed the initiatives to improve teacher preparation programs.

A challenge of many transformation-based generators is that they are trying to achieve three mutually antagonistic goals simultaneously: 1) deeply factored operators and operands to gain the combinatorial programming leverage provided by composition, 2) high-performance code in the generated program, and 3) small (i.e., practical) generation search spaces. The anticipatory optimization generator (AOG) has been built to explore architectures and strategies that address this challenge. The fundamental principle underlying all of AOG's strategies is to solve separate, narrow, and specialized generation problems by strategies that are narrowly tailored to specific problems rather than a single, universal strategy aimed at all problems. A second fundamental notion is the preservation and use of domain-specific information as a way to gain extra leverage on generation problems. This paper focuses on two specific mechanisms: 1) Localization: the generation and merging of implicit control structures and 2) Tag-directed transformations: a new control structure for transformation-based optimization that allows differing kinds of retained domain knowledge (e.g., optimization knowledge) to be anticipated, affixed to the component parts in the reuse library, and triggered when the time is right for its use.

Corsica: Idyllic with an Edge
Published: September 1, 1996
(Page 2 of 3)
If you didn't come to Corsica for museums, go down to the harbor to one of the many excursion boats and buy a ticket for the Sanguinary Islands, at the western tip of the spit of land on which the city is built; tickets cost 120 francs (about $25) for adults, half-fare for children up to 10. I drove to the promontory early one morning to admire the view of the islands, one of which, topped by a fortified Genoan tower, looked worth closer inspection.
Nobody should miss the coastal drive from Ajaccio to Les Calanche, a natural outcropping of weathered red granite with precipitous drops of up to 3,000 feet to sea level. The road from Ajaccio is marked ''Calvi par la Cote,'' coast road to Calvi, and Les Calanche begin only 50 miles from Ajaccio.
But what a 50 miles. I made the mistake of taking the road on a Sunday morning on the way to an appointment in Calenzana, another 50 or so miles north of Les Calanche. There was no traffic, but the route is so narrow and twisting that it took a good two hours to reach Piana, a memorably pretty mountain village of white houses dominated by the campanile of an 18th-century church, all overlooking the blue Gulf of Porto far below.
I still had another 50 miles to go, so I careened through Les Calanche, with hundreds of feet of void plunging down to the water on my left and bizarrely sculpted pink boulders to my right, honking before curves so sharp only one car at a time could negotiate them and thanking God my nervous wife wasn't with me.
Numerous strips of black rubber marking screeching stops for oncoming traffic made me slow down. Nonetheless, this natural wonder, comparable to Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks in the United States, is worth the drive.
In Calenzana, I had time to visit the ochre- and-white Italianate Baroque Church of St.-Blaise in the main square, with its separate neo-Baroque bell tower. A plaque on the tower commemorates the 100 German mercenary soldiers -- a bit like the Hessians who fought on the side of the British in our Revolutionary War -- who died here helping the Genoans try to quell a rebellion by their Corsican subjects (in 1732).
Just outside Calenzana, dramatically set in an olive grove at the foot of the mountains, is the simple whitewashed Romanesque chapel of Santa Ristiduta, Ste.-Restitude to the French. The interior, unadorned under a roof of wooden rafters, is unremarkable, but in the crypt is the tomb of the third-century martyr for whom the chapel is named, covered with a fifth-century sarcophagus of Carrara marble.
Her statue is transported to St.-Blaise and back every year at Pentecost in a colorful procession that brings out all the townspeople. On this May Sunday, I was in the throng listening as they were joined by a Georgian men's choir, the Georgian Voices from Tbilisi, who sang haunting, plaintive Georgian music -- polyphonic medieval chants that sounded remarkably like native Corsican music from the same period.
The return trip to Ajaccio was an easier drive, skirting the fortress citadel of Calvi and then the northern coast, through the wine country of Patrimonio, which produces excellent reds and whites found on most menus throughout the island, and then twisting and turning straight across Corsica's mountain backbone through the Vizzavona Pass.
The island's narrow-gauge railroad line from Bastia to Ajaccio follows much of the same route, and the trains -- actually, self- propelled diesel rail cars -- offer a much more relaxed way to appreciate the countryside than driving. But of course you can't get out to see the wildflowers or make side excursions, as I did from Vivario to the mountain village of Pietroso to have a meal of Corsican cured meat and pungent goat cheese at the home of Mrs. Vincensini, the peace activist. I shared the road, winding through a forest of high pines, with several wandering cows and a whole herd of pigs foraging through the embankments.
On a return visit in August, the destination for my wife, Heidi, and me was Bonifacio, a bit over 65 miles but a good two and a half hours' drive south of Ajaccio. The southern tip of the island is a bit less mountainous than the north, but equally wild and picturesque.
The bottleneck harbor, a mile-long passage through the limestone cliffs, is said to be where Ulysses' fleet was bombarded by the Laestrygonians. Today it is a refuge for yachts from all over the world, and at night the sidewalk restaurants lining the quay beneath the illuminated ramparts give it the feeling of a Greek island resort. Stone stairs and ramps lead up to the walled city, the Ville Haute, named after Boniface II, the Marquis of Tuscany, who stopped here after an expedition against the Saracens in 828.
We walked down pedestrian streets as narrow and quaint, but not nearly as crowded with tourist-kitsch stands, as those of medieval Carcassonne. Our wanderings took us past a house where Napoleon slept in the winter of 1792, on his way to glory and later ruin; past narrow, steep staircases leading to dark, mysterious rooms, and finally to the 13th-century Knights Templar Church of Ste.-Dominique.

Madhubala - She is a high spirited girl who values her family more than anything in the world. She is courageous and does not tolerate injustice. A classic beauty, whose charms works like magic on everyone. She never had proper exposure of the cruel world having brought up midst the heavy protection of her family. Therefore, quite naive.
Balraj Chaudhary - Madhubala's actual father. He's an evil, autocratic, blood-hungry man who is filthy rich, but abuse and subjugates the helpless people. He was married twice. The first wife died from childbirth and the second fled with the unborn daughter and the stepdaughter before he kills them, as Balraj only wanted an heir for his wealth.
Padmini Chaudhary - She is Madhubala's mother. She fled from Balraj's wrath to save her unborn child. She is a kind hearted woman, to whom family comes first. She loves both her daughters equally.
Trishna Chaudhary - A girl who is beauty conscious and spends half of the day pampering herself or shopping. She has a temper herself, inherited from Balraj, her father. She loves Madhu so dearly and the two share their secrets with each other like friends do.
Shamsher Mallik - He is a film producer & a rival of RK's stepfather. He & his sister Roma gave shelter to Padmini, when she was in need. He considers Madhu & Trishna as his own daughters.
Roma Mallik - Shamsher's sister and a popular actress herself. She is Padmini's childhood best friend. Therefore, helped her during her hard times like an own sister.

Reasons to Have Pride in 2012, Part 3
Because teen TV is leading the charge in small-screen LGBT representation
Since Pretty Little Liars (PLL) premiered in 2010, the show's resident gay character Emily Fields has been through the ringer, mainly at the gloved hands of the liars' hoodie-clad, omniscient, tech-savvy tormenter A. And while Emily's tribulations in not-so-sleepy Rosewood have often made for nail-biting TV viewing it's her thoughtful coming-out story that has ushered Shay Mitchell (pictured), the actress who plays her, into the annals of recent LGBT TV history for portraying a happy, well-adjusted teen who just happens to get more than her share of the ladies.
At its surface ABC Family's PLL is all mystery wrapped in teen angst, but at its heart it's about substantive coming-of-age issues, including coming out. While Emily's coming out to her mom (played by Nia Peeples), was bumpy at best, it was a barely a blip with her fellow liars Hanna, Spencer and Aria, a reaction that's indicative of a generational shift in acceptance of gay characters and speaks to what's driving the proliferation of LGBTs in teen fare like Degrassi, Greek, and Glee.
"I think that we're so much more accepting than even my parents' generation, and obviously the generations before that," says 24-year-old Mitchell. "I think the younger generations are the ones that are, well, demanding to see [LGBT characters] on TV. It started with Degrassi and now it's our show, and then hopefully, it will be more and more shows where it's not even just one character."
Early on in her career as Emily she was asked the question of whether or not LGBT characters should be portrayed on a network aimed at teens, namely ABC Family.
"My reaction to that was, 'OK, but there are also a lot of kids that are super young and in middle school that are realizing what it is they like and don't like,'" Mitchell says. "Actually a lot of [young teens] have told me that they can relate to my character, so, thank you, and yes, it should be on ABC Family."
Emily is based on the character in Sara Shepard's wildly addicting Pretty Little Liars series of young adult novels, but Mitchell has made the fashion-forward jock and all-around nice girl her own since she landed the role, portraying Emily like just one of the girls and eschewing the notion that there's stigma attached to playing gay anymore.
A Toronto native who began modeling in her teens, Mitchell says the playing gay question continually arose when she first climbed into competitive swimmer Emily's Speedo two years ago.
"I'm really blessed to be raised in a family that told me love is love and treat everybody how you want to be treated," Mitchell says. "When I saw that I was playing a character that was gay, or likes girls, or may change her mind, or whatever, I was like 'OK, cool.' That would have been like telling me, 'Your character wears sunglasses."
Mitchell adds that she hopes acceptance evolves to the point where playing gay is no big deal.
"You wouldn't ask Lucy Hale [Aria on PLL], 'How does it feel playing a straight character?"" Mitchell says.
It was PLL's producers', namely show runner Marlene King's, handling of the character of Emily as fully assimilated into the group that, in part, drew Mitchell to her.
"Emily is just like the other pretty little liars," she says. "The thing I loved most about how they [PLL's producers] spoke to me about her character was that they said, 'When you look at this poster [PLL promo], when you see a picture of all four of the girls together, not one stands out to be, oh, that's the gay character, that's the lesbian one."
Mitchell adds that Emily's entire package was attractive to her as an actor, as Emily is generally considered the "sweet one" in the group of not-so-mean girls. But it's also Emily's big heart that makes her a terrific role model not just for LGBT teens but also for girls in general.
"Emily is Emily and she is a great person because she's loyal to her friends and she's got a drive to her that shows, like, in her swimming," Mitchell says. "She has a passion for that. She wants to make people feel better, and all of those things make her a great person."
While Mitchell says she wishes for a time when being or playing gay is not at issue she adds that she's grateful for the opportunity to play Emily, which has not only afforded her the opportunity to work with LGBT organizations like Tthe Trevor Project and the No H8 campaign but has also allowed her to cozy up to several young actresses, as Emily has become quite the lady killer, with no fewer than three girlfriends in two seasons.
"The fact that I get to work with such amazing actors who all play my girlfriend — I love that part too," Mitchell says, adding that she's beyond thankful for her job.
Mitchell, who is "happily single," jokes that she wishes she had as many possible love interests in her life as Emily does, but she also defends her character, asserting that Emily is not a player.
"She came out quite recently and she's just figuring out what it is she likes. I think that it's good that she's having fun," Mitchell says. "She's never mean or playing the field or lying to any of [her girlfriends]. She's doing it in a very honest way."
For the better part of season 2, Emily explored a longer-term relationship with her girlfriend Maya (Bianca Lawson), even saying "I love you." But as things tend to go in Rosewood, her world was blown apart during the finale when Maya, who'd been missing, was hauled away in a body bag. In the interactive world of television these days, the cliffhanger set the Twitterverse ablaze with fans distraught over the end of Emaya (the mash-up moniker for Emily and Maya).
Fan feedback ranged from those who said the finale had them in tears over Maya's purported death, a scene made more poignant by Emily's breakdown at the loss of her first love, to those who quickly moved on to wondering what's next for Emily.
Mitchell, an ardent tweeter, who has also launched a website that features style, etiquette and travel, says that while fans were shocked over Maya's death they were also concerned with who would be Emily's next girlfriend, a reaction that implies that fans are wholly accepting of Emily's sexuality.
While Mitchell won't say who Emily's next girlfriend might be, that is, if PLL producers have even let on or know at this point, she does say that she and Lindsey Shaw, the actress who plays Emily's newly out-of-the-closet former love interest Paige, is a good friend.
"I love Lindsey Shaw more than anything," Mitchell says, adding that she especially enjoyed the season two finale in which a tuxedo-clad Paige approached Emily at the masquerade ball.
"I loved that last episode because of getting to dress u p… when Paige came in and tapped me on the shoulder, I loved that scene," Mitchell says. She adds that Lindsey was "super hot that day." "I was like, 'Seriously,' Lindsey?'" Mitchell says of laying eyes on Shaw in her tux.
A role model not just for gay teens but also for empowering girls in general, Mitchell is passionate about her work with the Somaly Mam Foundation, which aims to end sex trafficking around the world. She's traveled to Cambodia to Somaly Mam centers and appeared in PSA's to create awareness about the heinous practice of enslaving young girls for sex.
Not one to just sit back upon hearing of the atrocities of sex slavery and of Somaly Mam's work to expunge the practice, Mitchell got involved, taking two of her best friends with her. "I set up to meet Somaly in three of her centers, to meet all the girls," Mitchell says. "We brought a film team down with us so I could shoot PSAs because, yes, I loved going there and seeing the girls but I also needed to bring something back home with me so other people could see it."
Mitchell says she knows she has a calling to help others but is also quick to realize her newfound fame is a tool to bring awareness to issues important to her. "If I get an extra light shined on me from having an acting career and I can directly shine it back to what Somaly is doing, then that's amazing," she says. "That is really why I wake up every morning thinking this is what I'm supposed to do."
Regarding her status as a role model, Mitchell is humble, and yet her generosity with both causes and her friends is admirable. She's built a website that acts as a resource for young women but also serves as platform for her friends in a section titled "Right Hand Gals," where five of her female friends have a place to showcase their passions and talents.
"I really want to empower women to learn as much as they can and not depend on having to find a boyfriend or be in a relationship, and to just enjoy life," Mitchell says, adding that she fully advocates women supporting each other, as evidenced by her "Right Hand Gals" column.
"I'm single, happily single. I have amazing girlfriends and I'm having a really fun time. I know how hard it can be in high school, especially in high school, for these girls. I want them to know they the can do it on their own," Mitchell says. —Tracy E. Gilchrist
A quick peek at Miley Cyrus's right-hand ring finger will reveal a small equal sign tattoo, and she's repeatedly tweeted her motto, "All love is equal." To naysayers, Cyrus replied, "Where does it say in the Bible to judge others? Oh right. It doesn't. God is the only judge, honey. God is love." She's not the only one. The Voice's judges Blake Shelton and Adam Levine openly flirt with each other, and Levine was photographed for the cover of Out. Big names aren't the only ones, as emerging bands are talking more than ever about LGBT support. "The gay community is very supportive of my career," VV Brown (pictured) told Gay List Daily in February. "It's great because they're fabulous." Grass Widow put out a group statement saying, "None of us identify as queer, but we are definitely advocates and have always made a point to make our music and in particular our shows accessible to everyone, promoting a positive, gender-inclusive atmosphere."
Because MTV is our breeding ground
Paul Iacono, the actor who played the title role on the MTV series The Hard Times of RJ Berger, came out gay.
Because we turn entertainment into a social network
Royal Sabotage, a buzzed-about new Web series, has been called Entourage (on a budget) meets It's Always Sunny (in West Hollywood, that is), and it's packed with LGBT players working for free, including stars and executive producers JJ Wienkers and Kingsley Benham. It started with two people, grew to a 40-person crew of fans/workers through word of mouth and parties at Revolver, and now the cast is recognized around West Hollywood in a classic American dream scenario.
The net that gave us the groundbreaking L Word has turned it into a reality franchise, The Real L Word. Season 3, which starts in June, will straddle both coasts, adding some New York lesbians to the cast, including the women of the rock band Hunter Valentine. One band member, Kiyomi McCloskey (pictured in gray sweater), says the New Yorkers add more grit and straightforwardness. "I think season three showcases a very diverse group of women within the queer community," she says. Why would a rock band invite 24/7 cameras? "We, as a band, felt like we wanted to expose what it was like to be in a professional, touring rock band. There is often the misconception that bands just hang out and get by. This will prove otherwise."
Because Rizzoli and Isles are the best lesbian cops on TV ever, they just don't know it
Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander are the titular duo on TNT's tentpole series Rizzoli and Isles, which is based on the novels by Maine marriage equality supporter Tess Gerritsen, and pundits on AfterEllen have rightly described the series as best lesbian buddy cop show that just doesn't know it. That's because Jane Rizzoli (a butch, streetwise cop) and Maura Isles (a cerebral, femme medical examiner) are clearly intimate partners even if they haven't had sex. Though they aren't gay or bi (yet), Alexander (who plays Isles) says, "Well, I think that if Jane were open to it, I think Maura would absolutely experiment because she's just a little bit more open-minded in that way" and hints that Isles could be somewhere on the Kinsey scale other than 0. "They are not gay in the books, but who knows?" Fingers crossed.
From praline bars to veggie muffulettas, Donna Bell's Bake Shop gives a new spin on Southern-style treats in NYC. In just one year, the shop, co-owned by two gay men—Darren Greenblatt and Matthew Sandusky—and BFF Pauley Perrette, star of NCIS, has become a success. "Darren and Matthew's quest to provide delicious Southern treats is inspired by my beloved mother, Donna Bell, and our love for each other as best friends," Perrette says. Greenblatt says he knows he's in the right business. "You wouldn't believe the happy faces of people buying a $3 scone versus the miserable faces of people buying a $3,000 handbag."
Stand-up comic and actor Michael Ian Black, from Reaper, Ed, and Robot Chicken, is the son of a lesbian former Social Security employee. For his new book, America, You Sexy Bitch, which is out in June, he teamed with gun-loving Republican Meghan McCain on a cross-country tour to talk to politicos, LGBT parents, gun lovers, Tea Partyers, teen moms, vets, Muslims, and hookers. He's so cool we believe the publisher when they call it Chelsea Handler meets Hunter S. Thompson.
Because court rulings are injecting a little common sense into the national debate
It's a simple precept: If you're going to treat different groups of people differently under the law, you better have a good reason. And neither the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act nor California's Proposition 8 provide one, judges have ruled over the past few months. In February the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found Prop. 8 unconstitutional because it "serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California." The same month a district judge ruled that a federal court employee was entitled to health benefits for her same-sex spouse.
Because we're updating school assemblies
In some schools, when students are called to the auditorium for an assembly, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles is there waiting, hoping to change hearts and minds through music. The choral singers not only perform but also offer instruction and share their own stories of survival as gay people. LeAnn Rimes, Melissa Manchester, and Slash of Guns N' Roses have all recorded PSAs promoting the chorus's mission. The chorus's version of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" is still a favorite It Gets Better video and has inspired a new educational program, a touring musical of the same name. Given enough fund-raising success it'll come to a school near you.
Because we're taking over Lincoln Center
The Film Society of Lincoln Center tapped lesbian producer Lesli Klainberg as its managing director.
Because Jonathan Slavin needs his own TV series
The gay actor was brilliant in Del Shores and Matthew Leavitt's play The Boomerang Effect this spring, and after his years as a TV fixture (Better Off Ted, My Name Is Earl, The Finder, Castle, Suburgatory, Raising Hope, Grey's Anatomy, Weeds, and Bones), we think he should be the first gay man whom a sitcom revolves around.
Because a badass woman makes some of the most testosterone-fueled shows on TV
Meghan Hall, one half of the lesbian Web series The Sweet Adventures of Nat and Meg, was a college soccer player, a rookie drag racer for the National Hot Rod Association, and competed in the National Women's Football League. Now she's an assistant production coordinator for Operation Infrastructure on the History Channel and the Emmy Award–winning Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel. When does she get her own show?
Philanthropist and human rights activist Jody Cole, who leads expeditions for average folks through her Wild Rainbow African Safaris, says the trips are life-changing for visitors. She should know. Cole, a 49-year-old Alabama native and California transplant, is one of the first American women to become a certified field guide in Africa, and one of the few people anywhere to have achieved that level of expertise about the continent. "I encouraged people to follow their dreams for years while I was doing my volunteer and fund-raising work in San Francisco," admits Cole. "One day I finally answered my own longtime dream to go to Africa on safari. I had no idea that I would end up taking people there myself. Every time I am on a safari with a group I see something happen to my guests. They go home changed, with a broader view of their place on this earth, in this life. I get to relive my dream over and over multiple times a year by seeing the faces of happy guests on safari." This year Cole, who looks 20 years younger in her cute safari shorts, is taking groups on five trips into Africa (WildRainbowSafaris.com), including July's Mount Kilimanjaro climb and September's Tanzania trips to the "origin of mankind" at Olduvai Gorge. It's a dream come true, she says. "I'm all about living dreams. Dreams are not for a dusty, dark shelf in your mind; dreams are for doing."
The right-wing group One Million Moms threatened a boycott of JCPenney if the retailer used Ellen DeGeneres as its spokeswoman. DeGeneres turned out to have many more supporters and she kept the gig, with ads premiering during the Oscars. The "million" also targeted Toys "R" Us for stocking the Life With Archie comic (pictured) featuring popular character Kevin Keller's same-sex wedding, but it was buyers, not the store, that removed the issue from shelves — the print run sold out. The biggest backlash came when the National Organization for Marriage called for a boycott of Starbucks because the Seattle-based company backed Washington State's new marriage equality law. Social media percolated with support for the coffee purveyor, and in April the pro-LGBT campaign SumOfUs.org presented Starbucks with a thank-you card and petitions signed by more than 640,000 people grateful for the company's stance. That's more than 20 times the number who pledged to boycott Starbucks.
Because our lives still provide great film roles
Cinema's Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, continues to stretch past his iconic boy wizard character with his portrayal of another literary icon, poet Allen Ginsberg, in the upcoming true-crime tale Kill Your Darlings (pictured) from out director John Krokidas. Two-time Oscar nominee Viola Davis may finally make it to the awards podium when she takes on the challenging role of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan in a yet-to-be-titled film biography of the lesbian civil rights and feminist icon. Another renowned actor who has never shied from tackling difficult characters is Tom Wilkinson. After his widely acclaimed turn as a transgender woman in HBO's Normal, the respected Brit now steals scenes in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel as a gay man who searches for the Indian man he loved 40 years before and who was ruined by the scandal.

Is there a way of having the 'mobile device support' deal with multiple mobile devices?
I serve up different theme for iPad to what I server up to iPhone (so 3 themes in all, desktop, ipad and iphone). I've added iPad to the list of mobile devices in the wp-cache.php file, which includes the iPad as a mobile device. However, wp-super-cache seems to group all mobile devices together - so both iPad and iPhone display the same cached files (what theme it gets depends on which device viewed the page first). Obviously not the intended result.

For somewhat complex reasons, I'm needing to access a class from a library I'm writing externally via
NSClassFromString. I've tested the method (
NSClassFromString) on other libraries and it works with otherwise hidden/internal classes, but it won't work on mine. I build the library as a static library with the
-ObjC flag, and I build the project with
-ObjC as well. What do I need to do to get the library class to register properly with the lib so I can access it externally?
To be a bit more specific, I'm building a library with associated submodules. The user can add/remove submodules as needed, and I need the main lib to compile and run if they are missing, hence
NSClassFromString on submodule classes and fail gracefully if they don't exist. I'm compiling the submodules into individual .a files.

When it comes to Churches, there are a couple of key factors that come in to play. First, Price is a big factor on which material should be selected for your project. Second, the look of your toilet partitions could be an even bigger factor than price. And lastly, Durability is a very important concern in determining the type of bathroom stalls that should be used.
Powder Coated Metal toilet partitions is the first material to examine. The best part of this material is the price, these are the most affordable toilet partitions. There is usually a fairly decent selection of around 15 colors depending on manufacturer, but they are generally all solid colors. The biggest drawback is that they can be scratched and dented fairly easily which ranks them low on durability. Solid plastic bathroom stalls could be a good choice as they are more durable and good for high humidity areas. There is a little bit better color selection than metal toilet partitions, but they cost more than even Plastic Laminate toilet partitions. Which is our top choice for Churches. Plastic Laminate toilet partitions combine an excellent color selection with an economical price to top the charts as the best selection for churches. They tend to be more durable than metal or plastic bathroom stalls and can last between 10 and 20 years.
There are four main mounting styles for toilet partitions. The most common application by a wide margin is Overhead Braced Floor Anchored. This mounting style is the easiest to install and provides a good sturdy final product. This is our most commonly recommended application for churches. There is a Floor Anchored system that does not include overhead bracing. This is an attractive looking application, but sacrifices stability and has a tendency for doors to sag in high traffic areas. Ceiling Hung toilet partitions are also an option, but the install is difficult and requires blocking in your ceiling. The last application is Floor to Ceiling Anchored toilet partitions which is a very stable application but does require blocking in your ceiling. If you have blocking and are experienced at installing bathroom partitions, this could be your choice for high traffic areas subject to abuse and vandalism.
There are several factors to consider when selecting toilet partitions for a detention facility. Probably the most important factor is durability. Functionality and maintenance are also important and tend to be more crucial than cost. The cost for the bathroom stalls with the durability for prison activity will be more than low end toilet partitions, but they will last much longer and will not have to be replaced nearly as often.
For detention facilities the recommend materials would be solid plastic toilet partitions and solid phenolic bathroom stalls. There are two types of solid phenolic partitions, black core phenolic and color thru phenolic. The black core phenolic is available in a wide variety colors because a plastic laminate is applied over the phenolic core. The color thru phenolic is more resistant to vandalism with greater scratch resistance and resistance to markings. The downside is color thru comes in limited colors. Solid plastic toilet partitions are the most cost effective of the three. Even though durability is comparable, plastic partitions can be carved into and permanent marker can be nearly impossible to get off.
There are two recommended mounting styles for detention facilities. Floor mounted overhead braced is the most common and easiest to install. The down side would be the overhead bracing can be swung on or grabbed by those less mature. The best application for prisons is the floor to ceiling toilet partitions. The pilasters attach to the floor and ceiling creating a very sturdy application. They are more difficult to install, require blocking in the ceiling, and are generally better when the ceiling height is 9' or lower.
Without a doubt the best choice is full height hardware for a prison application. Full height brackets and hinges create the most stable partitions that will not only hold up over time but require much less maintenance than partitions with stirrup brackets and hinges. For high traffic areas that suffer abuse as well, the only solution is to spend a little extra money on full height hardware.
The mounting style you choose for your toilet partitions project is very important to the final look and feel of your washroom. Although the mounting style is largely based on preference and the amount you want to spend, there are certainly specific types of bathrooms that benefit from one mounting style over another. Whether you're looking for low maintenance, ease of access, or durability, we have the right mounting style for your toilet partition project.
Our most popular mounting style for bathroom stalls is the Overhead Braced, because it is both economical and sturdy enough to mount just about anywhere. This mounting style is the most commonly seen because it fits many different projects and is very reasonably priced. This style is ideal for wood or concrete floors, because it doesn't need an incredibly thick floor for proper installation. An anodized aluminum anti-grip headrail runs across the top to give the toilet partitions additional strength and support.
Our second option is the Floor Anchored mounting style, which is perfect for your toilet partitions project if you're looking for a modern or contemporary feel with it's sleek lines across the top of the partitions. Suited for low-ceiling washrooms, this incredibly simple to construct mounting style requires concrete floors that are at least 2" thick for sturdiness. This option is not as sturdy as overhead braced and is not suitable for abusive or high traffic areas.
The third option available for your bathroom stall project is our Ceiling Hung mounting style. This is perfect for your project if you have a lot of wall hung fixtures, as the ceiling hung toilet partitions will accent that nicely for full floor accessibility. Additionally, Ceiling Hung means easy access for better cleaning and reduced operating cost. This mounting style requires attachment to structural ceiling supports to function correctly.
The last option we have available to you is our Floor to Ceiling Anchored, combining the Floor Anchored and the Ceiling Anchored mounting styles, giving you the best of both worlds. These are the right mounting styles for you if you're expecting a lot of foot traffic, and need toilet partitions that extremely stable and durable, and can withstand abuse, and vandal resistance is critical. Like the two aforementioned mounting styles, the Floor to Ceiling Anchored mounting style requires both a concrete floor at least 2" thick, as well as attachment to structural ceiling supports.
In general, using Black Core Phenolic as a core material for toilet partitions is a great choice, because of the strength and flexibility when considering a color or style for a specific design. Since it is a plastic laminate adhered to a black core phenolic, there is a large selection of color options. Once a color selection has been made, that decoration is added to both faces of a core material combining Kraft paper and resin.
Black Core Phenolic toilet partitions are the best choice for strength, durability, and resistance to extreme moisture and humidity, and vandalism, as well as being impact, water, and corrosion resistant. There is also a large selection of color choices.
The surface material is plastic laminate which can be scratched and stain my marker. Even though the surface is very durable, it is hard to conceal certain types of vandalism and graffiti.
For high traffic areas or areas where vandalism is particularly a problem, I would recommendColor-Thru Phenolic Toilet Partitions. With all the advantages of traditional Black Core Phenolic restroom partitions, it has added impact, graffiti, and scratch resistance. Color-Thru Phenolic is similar to Black Core, but instead of a resin and Kraft paper core, it is made with its surface color through to its core. The downside to these partitions is the limited color selection. Depending on the manufacturer, there are generally 4-6 color selection for the type of material.
The answer depends on your application. If you are in a high traffic area with potential damage from vandalism and graffiti, then the obvious choice is Color-Thru Phenolic Toilet Partitions. If you are not a high risk for vandalism and want a much broader color selection, then the choice is easily Black Core Phenolic Toilet Partitions.

This doesn't even make any sense! What does this riddle mean? What is the answer?
BOGGY stands for colors on the paint buckets. Each time you put in a color, a portion of his face will be colored in. Blue is B and G is green and y is yellow and o is orange.
The riddle is simple. Do you see the word Boggy underneath that creature? These letters represent the colors of the paint buckets that you need to click in that order. B for blue, O for Orange, G for Green (x2) and y is for yellow.

"From wherever you stood, the opposing side offered respectable, credible views. In today's fractured culture the evening struck a blow for civility."
- The Huffington Post
January 18, 2012
On February 7, Intelligence Squared U.S. (IQ2US) will take on one of America's biggest problems when they host the debate: "Obesity Is the Government's Business." Obesity costs our health care system nearly $150 billion a year and is a major risk factor for expensive, chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Should the government intervene, or is this a matter of individual rights and personal responsibility?
November 23, 2011
At a debate last night hosted by Intelligence Squared US, syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock argued that "we want the TSA and others to recognize that the current threat to passengers and airliners comes almost exclusively from one source..." Countered former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff: "The problem with using racial and religious profiling is it takes you down a road to looking at people who you don't need to look at and avoiding looking at people that you should look at..."

[T]wo teams squared off last month to debate the question of whether Congress should pass President Obama's jobs plan – piecemeal, if necessary. The debate, held under the auspices of Intelligence Squared US, pitted Moody's Analytics economist Mark Zandi and Princeton University policy wonk Cecilia Rouse against Richard Epstein, an NYU law professor, and Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute, with the latter duo arguing that what's needed for the economy to rebound and ultimately create new jobs is structural reform, not what Mitchell called "faux stimulus."
October 27, 2011
There was really no point to any further debate, but I went to the debate, anyway. It was part of the Intelligence Squared U.S. Debate Series at New York University's Skirball Center on Tuesday night. The topic: "Congress Should Pass Obama's Jobs Plan--Piece By Piece." It was fun watching four wonkish brainiacs flagellate each other over a $447 billion stimulus plan that was pretty much dead on arrival weeks ago.
October 25, 2011
Earlier this week, President Obama, ardent lover of three-word mantras, introduced a new slogan for his American Jobs Act: "We can't wait!" The president exhorted Congress to act on the jobs creation plan he introduced in September. The audience at last night's Slate/Intelligence Squared U.S. live debate at NYU's Skirball Center vehemently agreed with the president: After the conclusion of the debate, 69 percent voted for the motion "Congress should pass Obama's jobs bill—piece by piece"; 22 percent voted against the motion; and 9 percent were undecided.
October 25, 2011
Last night NYU's Skirball Center saw an overwhelming victory for the Intelligence Squared U.S. debate, "Congress Should Pass Obama's Jobs Plan – Piece By Piece." According to the final votes, Cecilia Rouse and Mark Zandi won the debate by convincing 24% of the audience to change their minds to support the motion, thus winning the Oxford style debate. They argued Obama's jobs plan is a necessary step toward avoiding another recession and stimulus legislation will stem an economic downturn.

With world governments still reeling from the WikiLeaks fallout, acclaimed debate series Intelligence Squared US turned its attention to the balance between national security and freedom of the press. After watching the heated debate, IQ2US's live, sold-out audience came down in favor of the Dershowitz/Sanger team, deciding against the motion that "Freedom of the press does not extend to state secrets".

There was a good crowd at New York University Tuesday evening for the Intelligence Squared debate. These are full-dress formal disputations on topics of public interest, held roughly once a month through the season, very professionally organized and broadcast on Bloomberg TV and NPR. Tuesday's topic was "Don't give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," the reference being to Emma Lazarus's poem on the Statue of Liberty.
May 03, 2011
With the first anniversary of Arizona's illegal immigrant law just behind us, last night's debate at Intelligence Squared US, "Don't give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses", was a rousing, heated exchange on the nation's hottest issue. According to live audience voting, the Kobach/Tancredo team made the more convincing argument by moving the most audience votes to their side at the end of the evening although the Castro/Jacoby team carried 52% of the final vote.

Can cleaner sources of energy not only power our economy but also drive a recovery from the Great Recession? That's the question confronted by policymakers across the U.S.—and by debaters in the Intelligence Squared series hosted March 8 by New York University.
March 08, 2011
In the latest round in America's premier debate series, Intelligence Squared Debates (IQ2US), Bill Ritter, the former governor of Colorado, who established the state as a leader in renewable energy joins Kassia Yanosek, co-founder of the U.S. Partnership for Renewable Energy Finance support the motion while Robert Bryce, author of "Power Hungry: The Myths of 'Green' Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future" and Steven Hayward, author of "Almanac of Environmental Trends" oppose it.

For an actual debate on the law, here's a debate sponsored by Intelligence Squared US, featuring two authors whose writing I admire and follow: Paul Starr and Jonathan Cohn.
January 14, 2011
The debate, the first in IQ2US's spring series "America's House Divided," was particularly timely given the planned House of Representatives vote to consider repealing the landmark health care reform bill. Arguments on both sides of the motion were passionate and insightful but in the end, one side had the clear support of the vast majority of the live audience in New York and the motion was rejected soundly.

Zeba Khan was born and raised in a middle-class home in Toledo, Ohio, and for nine years attended the local Jewish day school, The Hebrew Academy, going to morning minyan every day. She graduated in 1993. She says she would have continued on with her Jewish education but the school only went through sixth grade. "I knew Hebrew better than most of my classmates," she recalled in a recent interview, "and I wanted a bat mitzvah."

As an American Muslim, I've come to recognize, sadly, that there is one common denominator defining those who've got their eyes trained on U.S. targets: MANY of them are Muslim—like the Somali-born teenager arrested Friday night for a reported plot to detonate a car bomb at a packed Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Since 9/11, al Qaeda has not succeeded in launching another terrorist spectacular in the United States. But it has succeeded in provoking a spectacular debate about aviation security. Several weeks ago—and even earlier at some airports—the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) initiated full-body scans and enhanced pat-downs, including inspections of private parts, that in some quarters are fueling outrage.
November 24, 2010
As Americans fly this Thanksgiving holiday, critics of new security measures are arriving at airports in kilts. Subsequent pat downs will be quite enhanced, indeed. Pre-flight screening has moved from safety to comedy. Before it devolves into tragedy, airline employees and government officials should start profiling terrorists. America must focus its finite capabilities on those who crave the destruction of planes and the people who ride them.
November 23, 2010
Intelligence Squared U.S., the Oxford-style debate series, an initiative of The Rosenkranz Foundation, hosted a debate last night on the motion, U.S. Airports Should Use Racial & Religious Profiling. Given the recent news of stepped up TSA security procedures at airports, the debate was well-timed and shed light on the complications around keeping America's skies safe. At the debate's conclusion, the side arguing in favor of using racial and religious profiling in airport screenings won the debate, though the crowd at NYU's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts was closely divided.
October 27, 2010
Is big government stifling the American spirit? That was the question posed to panelists at last night's Intelligence Squared debate in the Skirball Center. Among the guests was Stern professor Nouriel Roubini, who was nicknamed "Dr. Doom" by the New York Times after he successfully predicted the financial crisis as early as September 2006.

Is California America's first "failed state?"... It's a hot topic. You see it suggested in the press. It's spinning into the very high-stakes California governor's race. There was even a formal debate about it in late January in New York City. Schwarzenegger in particular was very struck by that debate, sponsored by Intelligence Squared, as he told me when we talked about it the other day. The event dripped with irony, as it featured Schwarzenegger's brother-in-law, Bobby Shriver, as the most prominent member of the team of three arguing that California is America's first "failed state."
January 26, 2010
In the latest Intelligence Squared US debate, the audience agreed that the Golden State has lost its luster.
January 20, 2010
The evening's winning team argued for the motion and included Santa Monica City Council member Bobby Shriver, the Economist's Andreas Kluth, and journalist and founder of TheWrap.com Sharon Waxman.
January 20, 2010
You could say it wasn't a fair fight. With a proposal like, "California is the First Failed State," the debate on Tuesday seemed a foregone conclusion. Those of us who live in the state and watch the news trot out a litany of funeral announcements for successive state services – education, medical care for the poor, arts programs, government paychecks – kind of thought it was obvious.
December 08, 2009
Forty years ago, the United States government began a "war on drugs" whose cost so far is estimated at $1 trillion, and rising. In 2006, newly elected Mexican President Felipe Calderón began a crackdown on the drug-smuggling cartels—a "war on drugs" that really is a war, involving military troops and weapons and more than 10,000 dead so far. Americans buy drugs from the cartels and sell them guns, and Washington arguably provided the example for the Mexican government's hard-line tactics. So is America to blame for Mexico's drug war? That was the topic at last week's Intelligence Squared US debate at New York University.
December 03, 2009
The team in favor of the proposition, America is to Blame for Mexico's Drug War, scored an undisputed victory with 72% of the audience at the debate's conclusion siding with them.
November 30, 2009
Whatever else they may do in office, presidents are largely judged—by the voters, if not historians—on their handling of the economy. So with unemployment edging into double digits, last week's Intelligence Squared US debate topic—"Obama's Economic Policies Are Working Effectively"—attracted the largest audience in the history of the series...
November 18, 2009
"Obama's economic policies are working effectively." That was the motion that Intelligence Squared US put to its New York audience Monday night for a vote. One three-man team defended the president's policies; another denounced them. Though the "anti" team ultimately lost the vote, it made the more compelling argument...

Man Swallows Lit Blunt
Gets arrested anyway.
A 22-year-old on Tenth Avenue in Manhattan allegedly downed his "marijuana cigar" mid-smoke as a NYPD officer approached, only to get pinched for his open 375ml bottle of Georgi vodka. Obstruction and tampering with evidence charges were added, although "the officer did not recover the cigar from Smith's body." Nature did that.
