215th Street station

The 215th Street station is a local station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 215th Street and Tenth Avenue in the Manhattan neighborhood of Inwood, it is served by the 1 train at all times. It is the northernmost subway station in the system on Manhattan Island.

Built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the station opened on March 12, 1906, as part of the first subway. The northbound platform was lengthened in 1910 while the southbound platform was lengthened in 1948.

History
The West Side Branch of the first subway was extended northward to a temporary terminus of 221st Street and Broadway on March 12, 1906 with the first open station at Dyckman Street, as the stations at 168th Street, 181st Street, and 191st Street were not yet completed. This extension was served by shuttle trains operating between 157th Street and 221st Street until May 30, 1906, when express trains began running through to 221st Street.

To address overcrowding, in 1909, the New York Public Service Commission proposed lengthening the platforms at stations along the original IRT subway. As part of a modification to the IRT's construction contracts made on January 18, 1910, the company was to lengthen station platforms to accommodate ten-car express and six-car local trains. In addition to $1.5 million (equivalent to $ million in ) spent on platform lengthening, $500,000 (equivalent to $ million in ) was spent on building additional entrances and exits. It was anticipated that these improvements would increase capacity by 25 percent. The northbound platform at the 215th Street station was extended 50 ft at both its north and south ends. The southbound platform was not lengthened. Six-car local trains began operating in October 1910, and ten-car express trains began running on the West Side Line on January 24, 1911. Subsequently, the station could accommodate six-car local trains, but ten-car trains could not open some of their doors.

The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940. Platforms at IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line stations between 103rd Street and 238th Street, including those at 215th Street, were lengthened to 514 ft between 1946 and 1948, allowing full ten-car express trains to stop at these stations. A contract for the platform extensions at 215th Street and five other stations on the line was awarded to the Rao Electrical Equipment Company and the Kaplan Electric Company in June 1946. The platform extensions at these stations were opened in stages. On July 9, 1948, the platform extensions at stations between 207th Street and 238th Street, including the 215th Street station, were opened for use at the cost of $423,000. At the same time, the IRT routes were given numbered designations with the introduction of "R-type" rolling stock, which contained rollsigns with numbered designations for each service. The route to 242nd Street became known as the 1.

In 1969, the station's wooden platforms were replaced with concrete ones.

The station was renovated by an in-house crew of New York City Transit Authority employees in 1990.

From January 5 to December 20, 2019, a free out-of-system transfer was provided from this station to Inwood–207th Street to accommodate the temporary closure of the IRT platforms at 168th Street, where a free transfer was normally provided. A similar transfer was also provided one station south at 207th Street.

Station layout

This elevated station has two side platforms and three tracks with the center track not used in revenue service. The station is served by the 1 at all times and is between Marble Hill–225th Street to the north and 207th Street to the south. Both platforms have beige windscreens and dark canopies in the center, which were replaced as part of a renovation project in 2012. At either ends of the platforms, black steel waist-high fences are installed. The station name plates are in the standard black with white lettering.

The 1991 artwork here is called Elevated Nature I-IV by Wopo Holup. It consists of two concrete panels with wooden frames on the southbound platform's station house. Each panel consists of eight squares depicting tree limbs. This artwork is also located at four other stations on this line.

The station is near the northern end of the 207th Street Yard, which includes the 215th Street Signal Shop, and the MTA Buses Kingsbridge Depot which is just slightly north of this station. It is also four blocks along 218th Street from Inwood Hill Park and, also on 218th Street, provides access to Columbia University's Baker Field athletic complex, as well as the Allen Hospital, a satellite facility of NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital. North of the station, the line crosses over the Harlem River Ship Canal via the Broadway Bridge into the mainland of New York.

Exits
Both platforms have one wooden adjacent station house in the center. However, only the southbound one is used for passenger service. Three doors from the platform lead to a small waiting area, where a turnstile bank provides access to and from the station. Outside fare control, there is a token booth and two staircases going down to either western corners of Tenth Avenue and 215th Street.

The station house on the northbound platform is used for employees only. One exit-only turnstile at platform level leads to a staircase that goes down to the northeast corner of 215th Street and Tenth Avenue while a High Entry/Exit Turnstile, also at platform level, leads to a staircase going down to the southeast corner.

Ridership
In 2018, the station had 553,050 boardings, making it the 402nd most used station in the 424-station system. This amounted to an average of 1,787 passengers per weekday. In terms of annual passenger ridership and in terms of weekday daily ridership, this is the least used station in Manhattan.

 * SleepyShippo I object to the deletion of my image because it represents the popular tanuki statues seen throughout Japan correctly. If a photo or photos of actual tanuki statues can be found AND not be in any of Wikipedia's image violations, then I would ask that my image, rather than being deleted, be set for optional viewing. In the meantime, until a proper substitute is found, please do not delete my image.

I know you like your drawing, but I think this site needs some actual Japanese art of a Tanuki.

Seriously, this drawing adds little to the article
There are an abundance of traditional tanuki drawings available that would better represent the important place that tanuki hold in Japanese society. I move that this drawing be stricken and a traditional woodcut or cartoon by a Japanese artist be included. Preferably one that shows one of the early references to tanuki. If no one disagrees I'll go ahead and do so, only because this image has remarkably avoided deletion once before. 219.89.17.38 19:29, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Profane (religion)

Profane, or profanity in religious use may refer to a lack of respect for things that are held to be sacred, which implies anything inspiring or deserving of reverence, as well as behaviour showing similar disrespect or causing religious offense. The word is also used in a neutral sense for things or people not related to the sacred; for example profane history, profane literature, etc. In this sense it is contrasted with "sacred", with meaning similar to "secular".

The distinction between the sacred and the profane was considered by Émile Durkheim to be central to the social reality of human religion.

Etymology
The term profane originates from classical Latin profanus, literally "before (outside) the temple", "pro" being outside and "fanum" being temple or sanctuary. It carried the meaning of either "desecrating what is holy" or "with a secular purpose" as early as the 1450s. Profanity represented secular indifference to religion or religious figures, while blasphemy was a more offensive attack on religion and religious figures, considered sinful, and a direct violation of The Ten Commandments. Moreover, many Bible verses speak against swearing. In some countries, profanity words often have pagan roots that after Christian influence were turned from names of deities and spirits to profanity and used as such, like famous Finnish profanity word perkele, which was believed to be an original name of the thunder god Ukko, the chief god of the Finnish pagan pantheon.

Profanities, in the original meaning of blasphemous profanity, are part of the ancient tradition of the comic cults which laughed and scoffed at the deity or deities: an example of this would be Lucian's Dialogues of the Gods satire.

Sacred–profane dichotomy
The sacred–profane dichotomy is a concept posited by the French sociologist Émile Durkheim in 1912, who considered it to be the central characteristic of religion: "religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbidden." In Durkheim's theory, the sacred represents the interests of the group, especially unity, which were embodied in sacred group symbols, or totems. The profane, however, involves mundane individual concerns. Durkheim explicitly stated that the sacred–profane dichotomy is not equivalent to good–evil, as the sacred could be either good or evil, and the profane could be either as well.

The profane world consists of all that people can know through their senses; it is the natural world of everyday life that people experience as either comprehensible or at least ultimately knowable — the Lebenswelt or lifeworld.

In contrast, the sacred, or sacrum in Latin, encompasses all that exists beyond the everyday, natural world that people experience with their senses. As such, the sacred or numinous can inspire feelings of awe, because it is regarded as ultimately unknowable and beyond limited human abilities to perceive and comprehend. Durkheim pointed out however that there are degrees of sacredness, so that an amulet for example may be sacred yet little respected.

Transitions
Rites of passage represent movements from one state—the profane—to the other, the sacred; or back again to the profanum.

Religion is organized primarily around the sacred elements of human life and provides a collective attempt to bridge the gap between the sacred and the profane.

Profane progress
Modernization and the Enlightenment project have led to a secularisation of culture over the past few centuries – an extension of the profanum at the (often explicit) expense of the sacred. The predominant 21st-century global worldview is as a result empirical, sensate, contractual, this-worldly – in short profane.

Carl Jung expressed the same thought more subjectively when he wrote that "I know – and here I am expressing what countless other people know – that the present time is the time of God's disappearance and death".

Counter reaction
The advance of the profane has led to several countermovements, attempting to limit the scope of the profanum. Modernism set out to bring myth and a sense of the sacred back into secular reality — Wallace Stevens speaking for much of the movement when he wrote that "if nothing was divine then all things were, the world itself".

Fundamentalism – Christian, Muslim, or other – set its face against the profanum with a return to sacred writ.

Psychology too has set out to protect the boundaries of the individual self from profane intrusion, establishing ritual places for inward work in opposition to the postmodern loss of privacy.

Cultural examples
Seamus Heaney considered that "the desacralizing of space is something that my generation experienced in all kinds of ways".

Talk:Scion tC

Manual Overdrive
Updated the article to reflect that Manual Overdrive does not exist for the Scion tC this is not the first place I have seen it listed, so I believe it was copied from a list of spec's some place. I dont know if the Automatic has overdrive (which its normal for Auto, and very rare on Manual.12.20.127.229 22:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * See the second definition on overdrive. —Kenyon (t·c) 23:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It is 5th gear in overdrive, the transmission is not equipped "w/overdrive". The sales literature says that is is 5 gears w/overdrive. That connotation is hard to mistake. - 12.20.127.229 22:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Confusing sentence
This sentence is confusing: "The name tC does not fit in with its stablemates the xA and xB because the name has already been taken by Volvo for its XC70 and XC90." The name tC is taken by the XC70 and XC90?. It could better read: "The name tC does not fit in with its stablemates the xA and xB because the name xC has already been taken by Volvo for its XC70 and XC90." (bold shows the change) Jumpfroggy 05:15, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Good edit Jumpfroggy --Jayson Virissimo 05:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

tc image
does anyone have a professional looking pic of the tC - perhaps a press photo - that would be allowable? Uvapip 18:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * ---yeah I would agree with this. A picture of a car with bird poop on it is not that fantastic.  Or is it? 12.34.246.5 15:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * i really want one!

Supercharged?
Where's the mention to the supercharged version with 200+ hp? Supposed to have been developed by Toyota Racing Development. --67.37.137.201 02:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * there's not actually a 'version' per se, the supercharger is merely another accessory that you can add to it, just like TRD exhaust, lowering springs, etc. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a mention of it, but if there is then we may want to add an entire 'scion accessories' section.--69.128.116.190 14:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Toyota Avensis?
Where is the source that this is comparable to the Avensis? It's more like a 2-door version of the Lexus IS300 Hackajar 06:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * tC and Avensis share the same chassis. They are different cars, but they are related. I wouldn't say it's accurate to call the tC an Avensis coupe though.  IS300 was a 6-cylinder RWD semi-luxury car, tC is a 4-cylinder FWD budget (for lack of a better word) car.  No connection except they are both sporty compact cars by Toyota.  Here's a | source for the tC Avensis connection.   ~ Dusk Knight  22:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Class?
This is not a sport compact by the definition given in that article. Anyone think it should just say "compact"? Friday (talk) 16:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't read the full article, but the tC is listed as an example right at the top and it fits the definition given in the intro. ~ Dusk Knight 00:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * It does? What car is the tC a performance-enhanced version of?  Friday (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * My mistake, I was referring to the part where it says They are typically are front engined, front-wheel drive coupés, sedans, or hatchbacks driven by a naturally aspirated straight-4 gasoline engine. I missed the first part that says high-performance version.  Sorry.  I went ahead and changed it to "Compact". ~ Dusk Knight  02:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm changing it back to sport compact. There are numerous articles, such as ones by Popular Mechanics and others classifying it as a sport compact.User:tribestros —Preceding undated comment added 00:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

tC also means Toyota Celica?
I've talked to several people about the Scion tC and they think that the tC also means Toyota Celica. The main article mentions that the tC is the successor to the Celica so maybe the tC is meant to pay homage to that car? Maxtro 00:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

It has to. The other models on the line all have the prefix x(Such as the xD). Why would they go out and name it tC while at the same time ending production on the last generation of the Toyota Celica? Touring Coupe makes sense but so does Toyota Celica. I've also heard Turbo Coupe. GodFather1921 18:52, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

 * The Scion tC is a North America-only car, the Celica was released worldwide, therefore it can't be the Celica's successor カ  ラ  ム  22:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

this piece of crap has nothing to do with the legendary celica, shame on toyota for abandoning one of their finest models ever! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.181.32.68 (talk) 03:10, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Not sure how to, but someone might need to fix the dimensions of the image to the right of the main page. It's too tall.  Zchris87v  05:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Not an Italian sports car!
I have a hard time believing that the Scion tC could accelerate from 0-60 in 3.14 seconds, or for that matter that the car is capable of getting from 0-100 mph in 6.6 seconds. These figures are clearly absurd, and I would ask that this false information be corrected immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.150.168 (talk) 17:18, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Checking one of the sources I found that it's talking about the specs from a Ferrari Enzo. That explains everything--76.90.44.243 (talk) 01:38, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

The Next Generation?
The second generation Toyota Avensis, which shares the same platform as the tC, is being phased out in favor of a new platform and design, which means that the tC may need to be retooled as well.

Toyota and Subaru have officially announced a new rear-wheel-drive sports coupe to be introduced to the Japanese, European and American markets starting in 2011 (in fact a new test mule Toyota/Subaru chassis has been seen running around a few tracks in Japan). The new platform has been billed as a spiritual successor to the AE86, and will be priced between $20,000 - $23,000 USD. The new "Toybaru" coupe has yet to be named, but because of the similarity in price range and overall appearance, some beleive that may be sold as the next generation Scion tC in North America.

''This was originally found on the main article itself. I moved it hear because it seemed more like speculation and rumor rather than hard fact. Feel free to comment and discuss anything said above.'' Gyrferret (talk) 00:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Where's it made?
I can't find it in the article so I thought I'd put the question out. Its based on the Avensis which is made in England, so I'd assume its built in the US on imported Chassis, is this the case?(82.3.43.98 (talk) 21:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC))

No the tC is built in Japan at the same plant that was used during the construction of the venerable Toyota Celica which is this car's predecessor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.167.168.128 (talk) 13:42, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

My removal of Image:Scion_tc_2007.jpg
I have removed the previously mentioned image because visually, it's no different from any other Scion tC. There's no need for three pictures demonstrating the same car. 72.184.252.100 (talk) 19:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

''The image is pertinent because it displays a good portion of the enhancements made available by TRD. The Scion tC's factory customizability through TRD is one of the characteristics that sets it apart from other automobiles in its price range and class.'' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.127.63.171 (talk) 05:46, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

It displays nothing of the sort, minus the wheels. An outside source would not be able to tell this is lowered, nor would they be able to tell that it has a TRD exhaust. The only visual change on this car from the three other pictures of it is the foglights. I'm not against a picture of a TRD-upgraded tC... another photo needs to be taken that clearly demonstrates the "upgradability" of it. 72.185.54.95 (talk) 21:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Predeccessor
Why is the Celica listed as the tC's predeccessor? The Celica was a (low end) sports car while the tC is a tourer. Also, the Scion tC is only sold in America.  Stepho  (talk) 03:38, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Toyota's said nothing about them being related (given that they are different brands and all). It is nothing more than speculation, though it was certainly intended to fill the void that the Celica left. I don't see how you can call one different from the other (given that they ride on virtually identical suspensions and share every characteristic of layout) but it is mere speculation to call them "related" even though all the facts suggest it. Personally I think the "predecessor" field should be removed from the infoboxes outright, since it causes us to waste our time over semantics for the vast majority of cars, when it really doesn't matter either way. Bdc101 (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Shall we bring it up at WP:Automobiles ? It would solve many trivial arguments like this one but those fields are useful on older models (showing relationship between Ford Model T and Ford Model A (1927–1931)).  Stepho   (talk) 01:37, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The tC is the successor of the Celica, albeit a cheapened one with updated technology and features. Toyota just found a way to make some money without having to invest in designing a whole new car. If you people would open your eyes you would notice that there are many styling cues that are ported from the Celica. Just because ignorant masses need to have it printed to be true doesn't mean that Toyota or any other car manufacturer for that matter won't find a way to recycle a design. The tC is built at the same plant as the Celica, why do you think it is so, because they already had the whole assembly line configured to pump out Celicas. Use your common sense if you can find it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.167.168.128 (talk • contribs) 07:18, August 9, 2016 (UTC)

 * Good, we can have a conversation at last. You have asserted that the Scion tC (aka Toyota Zelas) is the successor to the Toyota Celica. WP:BURDEN says that whoever added the assertion also has the burden of providing proof from reliable published sources.
 * You said that the styling is similar. Well, that applies to many other Toyota's of the era such as the Camry and the Corolla. It's just the general style that Toyota had at the time. so it proves nothing.
 * You said that the tC used the same production line as the Celica. So? A factory becomes empty when one vehicle stops production, so it is then available to be used for another vehicle. Many of Toyota's sportier models were terminated and their factories converted to produce SUVs. Does that mean the SUVs are successors of the sports cars?
 * The carbuzz link you added while I was typing this says in its very first sentence "Although it can trace its roots back to the original Toyota Celica, the Scion tC never was or will be a true successor." It then points out that the Celica had some true sports models (eg the GT4 / All-trac ST204 with powerful turbo engines and decent suspension, although the best versions with 200 hp were limited to the Japanese market). The tC never really had a truly sporty variant.
 * WP:BRD and WP:ETIQUETTE encourage us to discuss the problem. Ad hominem attacks do nothing to help your argument. Name calling is just childish. Calling everybody else retards and morons is like watching a 5-year old child having a tantrum. Adding assertions in the main article without supporting evidence will just be removed (as per WP:BURDEN). Repeatedly adding those assertions (aka WP:EDITWARRING) just causes frustration to all of us. You need to provide real, tangible proof.
 * On the flip side, if you can provide reasonable arguments (from reliable sources) in a coherent manner then we are more than happy to help you integrate them into the article. We are not against you personally, just the lack of proof.
 * Please remember to sign your messages with 4 tildes at the end. Thanks.  Stepho  talk  15:09, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * If you compare the last production year Celica to the tC it has the same specs, the lines of the tC mirror those of the Celica, the hatch on the tC is an almost identical port of the last model Celica. Why would Toyota invest more money in designing a whole new car if they already had it in the Celica, they took it rebagded it and gave it enough new styling cues and features so that the idiotic North American car market would accept it. Look at the last model Celica side by side with a tC you can clearly see which parts were added. You cant compare rally edition Celicas to a regular model Celica which if you look closely is almost identical to a tC. Toyota in their quest to save money and changing environmental requirements decided to rebadge the lowest end Celica GT-S. Sure they changed the chassis from a Corrolla to an Avensis which is the European version of the Corolla and its successor. Look at what Toyota is doing, the Scion iM was supposed to be a new car but in actuality it is a Toyota Matrix that was discontinued. Toyota is not stupid its the population that is easily fooled. Same with GT-86 all the american public could talk about is how the gt-86 is the ne Supra, which is not it is a tribute to the AE86 Trueno. Same with the Lexus models who are just upscaled versions of Toyota brand (NX/RX overpriced Rav4) I know its hard to swallow for some Celica fanatics (me being one )that the days of super sports car that are affordable to general public are over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.167.168.128 (talk) 16:24, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is all original research. The article you provided says the tC is a spiritual successor to the Celica, but says nothing about rebadging or redesigned. clpo13(talk) 17:39, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * So is it my problem that people are too ignorant or stupid to see what the tC is? you can redirect all you want the fact is that Toyota played you all — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.167.168.128 (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Your problem is that you refuse to provide a proper reliable source, preferring instead to make your own conclusions (WP:OR) and insult the people trying to stick to the policies of this encyclopedia. clpo13(talk) 21:41, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * you mean this tabloid level bulleting board that is only slightly more evolved than 4chan. but its ok, Im waiting for an official reply to my email from Toyota Japan, cant wait to post it and rub your ignorant noses in it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.15.190 (talk) 00:47, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Did Toyota copy bits of the Celica to go into the tC? Quite possibly. Toyota does this quite regularly. The RAV4 was designed using many Camry parts - but that doesn't mean the RAV4 is a Camry.
 * As mentioned above, you are doing original research (see WP:OR). Wikipedia requires us to use reliable published sources. WP:VERIFIABLE goes into this in more detail.
 * If you get an email from Toyota then you will also have to prove that it came from them and is not just something you created yourself (emails are easy to fake). The easiest way to prove it is to get them to post it somewhere on one of their websites.
 * Why would you compare us to 4chan when we are asking for proof of your claims? Are you asking us to require less proof? Are you asking us to just trust your every word? Or is your reasoning somehow better in every way than ours, in spite of the counter examples we are showing you?
 * By the way, I have a classic 1977 Celica (retrofitted with an ex-race 18R-G), a 1984 AE86 (retrofitted with a 20-valve 4A-GE) and a 1987 Cressida (retrofitted with a 3000cc 6M-GE). All are fun and I love driving them but technology has moved on and they are easily beaten in a straight line by modestly priced modern cars. The days of affordable sports cars is far from over. If only the modern stuff wasn't so ugly :)
 * Lastly, please sign your comments with 4 tildes and add a level of indentation by using one more colon  than the comment before it. Thanks.    Stepho  talk  05:37, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

 * What proof have you provided to the contrary, besides some automotive blogs who are filled with speculation. Problem with the tC is that it is a marketing scheme used by Toyota to sell a recycled car as a brand new model hoping that ignorant masses will swallow it. If you knew anything about the car business besides collecting them, you would know that coming out with a brand new model from scratch is extremely expensive and not very profitable. Agin ill repeat the original Celica was based on the Corolla chassis which was updated and improved into an Avensis, so if you follow the family tree of Celica the tC is the leaf. The whole point of this is that you people fail to see what Toyota did and you refuse to accept the fact that you got played yet again by clever and sneaky marketing. Ive owned a 93 GT-S a 2000 GT-S and now a 2014 tC. Besides being heavier and less responsive (thanks to electronic steering crap), this is a Celica. Everything about this car is an upgraded handme down from the original but with cheaper materials.

 * By the way proxies are awesome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.95.53 (talk) 12:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

This is not a forum for discussing what you like or dislike about Toyotas. If you don't have a reliable source to provide, then this discussion is pointless. And for the record, I've never owned nor do I plan on owning a Toyota. clpo13(talk) 15:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

 * "What proof have you provided to the contrary": None because I haven't put this claim in the article itself. You have put a claim in the article and therefore the burden is on you to support your point.
 * Claims in the article must satisfy both of the following:
 * No original research (see WP:OR). Your reasoning above is original research and is therefore irrelevant.
 * Supported by reliable, published sources (see WP:BURDEN and WP:SOURCES). You have not provided this.
 * Since you are insisting on point 1 (not allowed) and not providing point 2 (absolutely required), you are wasting your time and our time.  Stepho  talk 05:17, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

'Spiritual Successor to Toyota Celica'
I've reverted the 'Carbuzz.com' link for the reference on comparing the Toyota Celica to the Scion tC. Carbuzz is not an authority on the matter of whether the car is related to the Celica or not. Neither Toyota nor Scion has had a statement on the matter. There seems to be some chatter about this a few years in the past with no update, so I think it's safe to say that there is no affiliation between the Celica and tC. 107.15.141.227 (talk) 03:39, 15 March 2019 (UTC)SilverStar

hatchback or liftback
Is the tC a hatchback or a liftback? At liftback and hatchback we say that a hatchback has a nearly vertical rear door. The tC has a very sloped rear door. Note that at hatchback says that liftback is a more specific class of hatchback, ie the very sloped subset of hatchbacks.  Stepho  talk 09:31, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Well I do prefer the "liftback" term (due to the sloping rear window), but as the term is rarely used in the US, "hatchback" appears to be more (forcefully) suitable. The Google search result also supports this (157,000 for "liftback" vs. 5.8 million for "hatchback").
 * NB: I wonder why is the XP130 Yaris marketed as the "Yaris Liftback" there? 182.30.81.200 (talk) 08:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The difference between "liftback" and "hatchback" is muddled in the U.S. because the word "hatchback" was widely regarded as synonymous with "cheap, frumpy, and austere" in the U.S. from roughly the mid 1990s until the mid 2010s, and carmakers went to great (and sometimes borderline humorous) lengths to avoid using the term in their advertising. I'm almost certain that Toyota marketed the 3-door and 5-door XP130 as "Liftbacks" for this reason; similarly, my recollection is that the tC was marketed as a "sports coupe." Although I've only lived in the U.S. during my adult life, based on reading foreign car magazines, it seems that hatchbacks have never had this image problem elsewhere in the world.

Ruth Perry

Ruth Sando Fahnbulleh Perry (16 July 1939 – 8 January 2017) was a Liberian politician. She served as the interim Chairman of the Council of State of Liberia from 3 September 1996 until 2 August 1997, following the First Liberian Civil War. After eleven international peace attempts between 1990 and 1995 to end the civil war in Liberia, the attempts appeared to succeed. The interim Council of State consisted of a civilian chairman, as well as members of warring factions: Charles Taylor, United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy-K leader Alhaji Kromah, Liberia Peace Council leader George Boley, and two other civilians.

Perry was known for being the first female president of Liberia and of contemporary Africa as a whole. Liberia also has the distinction of electing Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as the first elected female African leader in modern times.

Early life
Perry was born 16 July 1939, in a rural area of Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia, the daughter of Marjon and AlHaji Semila Fahnbulleh. She was a Muslim of Vai ethnic ancestry. As a child, Perry participated in the Sande society, a traditional school and secret society for females, and attended regular classes. Her parents later enrolled her in a Roman Catholic school for girls in Monrovia run by missionary nuns. Perry graduated from the Teachers College of the University of Liberia. She worked as an elementary school teacher in Grand Cape Mount County.

She married McDonald Perry, a judge and legislator and they had seven children. After her children were grown, Perry worked in the Monrovia office of Chase Manhattan Bank in 1971, and taught at a Sande school as an elder.

Political career
When her husband was involved in politics, Ruth Perry engaged in the electoral campaign and tried to get women to vote for him. After her husband died, the party asked Ruth to run as senator for their home district. In 1985, Perry won a seat in the Liberian Senate as a Unity Party candidate. In response to Samuel Doe's presidential election after calling elections, Unity Party office-holders and other official opposition politicians boycotted the Senate in protest, asserting that the Doe government was illegitimate. Perry did not join the boycott and became the lone member of the opposition in the Assembly. "You can't solve the problems by staying away," she said. She served until 1989. Afterwards, Perry launched a retail business and became active in civilian groups such as Women Initiative in Liberia, Women in Action for Goodwill and the Association of Social Services that sought an end to the growing Liberian Civil War.

Interim Head of State: 1996–97
On 17 August 1996, after 17 years of conflict and 7 years of war, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) representatives negotiated a cease-fire between Liberia's warring factions and announced that Perry would replace Wilton Sankawulo as Chairman of the Council of State in an interim government. Reportedly all four warlords in the Liberian conflict had agreed to the peace agreement with Perry as interim leader, after her return from a brief exile in Staten Island, New York.

Later life and death
After stepping down, Perry moved between Liberia and the US. In 2004, she was an African President-in-Residence at the African Presidential Archives and Research Center at Boston University. Perry died on 8 January 2017 at the age of 77.

Southern Partisan

Southern Partisan is a neo-Confederate online magazine based in Columbia, South Carolina, United States. It is focused on the Southern region and states that were formerly members of the Confederate States of America. Founded in 1979 as Southern Partisan Quarterly Review, its first editor was Thomas Fleming. From 1999 to 2009 it was edited by Christopher Sullivan. After 2009 it ceased print publication and is now only online. It has been called "arguably the most important neo-Confederate periodical" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The magazine generally espouses a pro-southern perspective on political issues and the American Civil War. The magazine features commentary on southern culture, history, literature, the Southern Agrarians, the Civil War and Confederacy, and current political issues. Its news section "CSA Today" covers stories from each of the eleven former Confederate states, as well as Missouri and Kentucky, which the Confederate States claimed to have admitted.

The magazine is harshly critical of what it describes as "politically correct" policy-making, such as the removal of Confederate historical monuments. It also gives out a "Scalawag Award" in each issue to Southerners who act contrary to the magazine's editorial position.

Reviews of books about the southern United States appear in each issue, as do general political opinion pieces from conservative and libertarian perspectives. The magazine carries columns by syndicated opinion commentators including Walter Williams, William Murchison, Joseph Sobran, and Charley Reese.

Views and reception
The SPLC dates the earliest contemporary usage of the term "neo-Confederate" to a 1988 Southern Partisan article.

The New York Times in 2000 described Southern Partisan as "one of the (southern) region's most right-wing magazines," noting its disapproval of Abraham Lincoln and the Union during the Civil War, and tendency to "venerate the rebel soldiers who fought to secede from the United States." It also noted that the magazine features "high-minded historical reviews in the tradition of the Southern agrarian movement, which glorified the South's slow-paced traditions of farms and small towns."

Ed Sebesta has written that Southern Partisan and Chronicles are the "major publications" of the Confederate movement. Slate described Southern Partisan as a "crypto-racist, pro-Confederate magazine." In 2000, the president of the progressive advocacy group People for the American Way called Southern Partisan "racist", pointing to columns that criticize Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, and alleged that it views slavery favorably. The Times report noted a Southern Partisan article describing white slave traders as being better to slaves than African warlords. According to the Times report, Southern Partisan "takes the position that the Civil War was fought not over slavery, but over the preservation of a Southern way of life that to this day is worth preserving."

Southern Partisan received national attention in 2001 during the confirmation hearings of U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, who had praised Robert E. Lee in a 1998 interview with the magazine.

The magazine's editor Christopher Sullivan has said that critics take "quotes out of context to paint a picture of racial and historical bigotry in the Partisan". Sullivan pointed out that the magazine publishes articles by African-American writers such as Walter E. Williams.

 * Keep. Magazine by a major UK publisher, audited circulation more than 24,000 (ABC, Jul-Dec 2004) one year after its introduction.  That's good circulation in the UK market for a specialist niche magazine. The content needs a severe editing (yes, it's obviously intended as an ad) but it shouldn't be deleted. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete advertising. If anyone wants to write an encyclopedic article about this publication, they may do so at any time. If Tony Sidaway thinks we need an article on it but doesn't want to start it himself, he should post it as an requested article. Leaving this article in place does no good. Acorns may grow into oaks, but artificial Christmas trees do not. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think you'll find that this is incorrect. If you visit the article right now you'll see that a perfectly good stub has been created by the simple expedient of deleting the trash. I've never understood the "slash and burn" approach to unwanted content.  If an article contains stuff you don't like, delete that content, you don't even need to come to VfD to do that. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:31, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I haven't read the original version but the current version has been purged of advertising (thanks, whoever did the cleaning); keep this perfectly respectable stub. JamesMLane 08:02, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep a legitamate stub Falphin 19:50, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep stub on UK magazine with reasonable circulation. Capitalistroadster 05:49, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep See no difference, save longevity and brevity, from The New Yorker or Time Magazine which even show similar cover pages. Fabartus 01:26, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Leave the stub it says enough. Nothing to do with the magazine's editorial staff, we just saw this today. As for advertising, it's highly unlikely. --Rogan 16:52, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:List of radio stations in Tennessee

Untitled
KWAM markets itself as a Memphis station; however, as can be ascertained from its callsign, it is really across the Mississippi River from Memphis in Arkansas and does not really belong on this list. Rlquall 02:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Useful reliable sources
Often when creating radio station articles it can be difficult to find reliable secondary sources that help "prove" notability. One easy and useful reliable source is the website of the radio network of a professional sports team. For example, for a station in the Tennessee Titans (NFL) radio network, this bit of text provides a useful outside reference:

The station is an affiliate of the Tennessee Titans radio network.

I am in the process of adding this to existing articles. - Dravecky (talk) 07:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way (abbreviated as NOLF 2) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Monolith Productions and co-published by Fox Interactive and Vivendi Universal Games through its subsidiary Sierra Entertainment, released for Windows in 2002, later ported to Mac OS X in 2003, published by MacPlay. It is the second game in the No One Lives Forever series, the sequel to the 2000 game The Operative: No One Lives Forever.

The story follows spy Cate Archer as she once again takes up arms against the international criminal organization H.A.R.M. Throughout the game, Cate Archer is sent to exotic locales, such as a ninja village, a secret submarine base, and a trailer park in Ohio during a tornado. A whole new range of uniquely designed gadgets and weapons are also introduced, including a blowtorch disguised as a can of hair spray and a robotic bomb disguised as a kitten. A spin-off to the game, entitled Contract J.A.C.K., was released in 2003.

Gameplay
As in the first game, missions can be completed through action, stealth, or a combination of these methods. In many cases, the missions are more open ended. While the original game contained several missions that required the player to not to be detected or avoid setting off alarms, the sequel contained only a few objectives that required complete stealth. However, to counter this, No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way utilizes respawning enemies more often than the original to encourage the player to complete the missions in a surreptitious manner. The game's AI is designed with a Goal-Oriented Action Planning architecture where the enemies themselves have more control over the actions they perform.

Plot
The game focuses on tensions rising between United States and Soviet Union over the tiny, but strategic Isle of Khios in the Sea of Marmara. A year after the events of the first game, Jones, now the sole Commander of U.N.I.T.Y., is taking a vacation and leaves Bruno Lawrie, the Temporary Director of U.N.I.T.Y., in charge.

U.N.I.T.Y. agent Cate Archer is sent to Japan to investigate a rumored international crime convention expected to take place in the pastoral village of Inotakimura. There, she locates another U.N.I.T.Y. agent Isamu Hatori, who tells Cate to photograph the meeting's participants, including the Director, H.A.R.M.'s leader, without arousing their suspicion. After Cate photographs the meeting's participants she is stabbed by a ninja named Isako, who leaves her for dead.

After the opening credits, Cate is hospitalized by U.N.I.T.Y. and is restored back to health by their staff scientist, Dr. Otto Schenker. After Cate's recovery, the U.S. military advisers, Issac Barnes and General Morgan Hawkins, inform Cate and Bruno of H.A.R.M.'s and the Soviets' plan regarding Project: Omega to prepare their invasion for Khios. Meanwhile, H.A.R.M. agent Dmitrij Volkov is now immobilized in a full-body cast and using a wheelchair due to a skiing accident.

Cate travels to Siberia where she uncovers information about Project: Omega and sabotages the radio tower and power plant. After collecting information regarding the project she is ambushed by H.A.R.M. and the Soviets, but escapes by destroying a bridge. After her mission in Siberia, Cate and Bruno learn that the Soviets and H.A.R.M. are working together to turn the island into the world's first Communist vacation spot with a five-star hotel. Cate travels to Akron, Ohio, and investigates the house belonging to Melvin Blitzny, a vacuum cleaner salesman who serves as a double agent between H.A.R.M. and U.N.I.T.Y. to impersonate former U.N.I.T.Y agent Tom Goodman. After she recovers information about Project: Omega, she is ambushed by Isako's ninjas as she escapes the Blitzny residence. A tornado hits the area and Cate takes down Isako's ninjas before following Isako to a trailer home as it is lifted by a tornado. Cate and Isako engage in a sword fight until the trailer's ceiling rips off, sending Isako into the tornado.

After being recovered from the tornado incident, Cate and her ally, Magnus Armstrong, head to India where they meet Armstrong's old friend, Kamal, a former member of H.A.R.M.'s Indian branch. With Kamal's help, Cate is hired by H.A.R.M., and gains access to their vault, where she collects more documents about Project: Omega. Soon after, Cate and Armstrong are captured by one of H.A.R.M.'s most deadly operatives, Pierre, the self-proclaimed Mime King. Cate and Armstrong escape by welding one of the cage's bolts, and fight their way out of India. During their escape, Armstrong tries to grab Pierre but only succeeds in removing his heavy black cloak and mask, revealing his true form as a mime midget riding a unicycle. Cate and Armstrong try to chase him riding a tricycle, but fail to apprehend him.

Later, Cate and Armstrong head to Antarctica to explore a base there and uncover H.A.R.M.'s intentions with Project: Omega. There, Cate learns that the project consists of turning soldiers into Super-Soldiers, indestructible cyborg-like fighting machines. Cate encounters the first test subject, a Super-Soldier named Lt. Anders, an ex-military officer who believes Cate is his daughter, Abigail. Lt. Anders chases Cate and destroys large parts of the base, but Cate manages to escape after Armstrong heroically grabbed the Lt., allowing her to escape before H.A.R.M. arrives.

The Director learns of Cate's efforts in India, and sends a team of Super-Soldiers to destroy H.A.R.M.'s Indian headquarters as punishment. This provides H.A.R.M with an ideal field test for the Super-Soldiers before they are sent to Khios on their primary mission. Cate immediately returns to Calcutta, India, but finds that the Super-Soldiers have already arrived. The only thing Cate can do is try to get everyone to safety.

Cate then returns to U.N.I.T.Y. and gives Doctor Schenker the technical specifications from the Antarctic facility so that Schenker can devise how to stop the Super-Soldiers. Schenker loses his glasses, and after Cate finds them in a café, the U.N.I.T.Y. headquarters is attacked by Pierre's mimes. Cate takes down the mimes and then rescues Armstrong, who is reportedly captured and located at a H.A.R.M undersea base in the Aegean Sea, unaware that Pierre placed a telephone bug in Schenker's office. Cate arrives at the undersea headquarters and makes her way to the lower level to rescue Armstrong who is trapped in a Super-Soldier pod. Cate takes down Pierre and his mimes, but after she frees Armstrong, Lt. Anders, who is also freed from the pod, destroys parts of the undersea base, causing it to implode. Cate and Armstrong escape the base, but as they reach the Director's private deck they discover that the escape pod is jammed. Armstrong himself releases the pod as he travels to surface in the drowning undersea base. The escape pod is then captured by a H.A.R.M. submarine on its way back up to the surface.

Cate is now held in H.A.R.M.'s secret artificial volcano lair, and escapes after she recovers additional plans for Project: Omega and sabotages the lair. Cate re-encounters and defeats Volkov, who falls into a lava pit. Cate reaches the surface, and discovers that H.A.R.M.'s lair is built directly beneath the Japanese village of Inotakimura. There, Cate battles Isako and her ninjas, and defeats her. The Director arrives and attempts to kill Isako but Cate saves Isako by throwing a ninja star at the Director, disarming him.

Cate is then sent to Khios, where she embarks on her final mission to stop Project: Omega. Unfortunately for her, the island is being overrun by H.A.R.M. and Soviet troops with Super Soldiers. The U.S launches a nuclear missile to destroy the Soviet-held Khios, prompting a Third World War. Cate uses the specially devised Anti Super-Soldier Serum (ASSS) to defeat the Super Soldiers, drowns the H.A.R.M. submarine and successfully repels the invasion. Project: Omega is put to a stop once and for all when Lt. Anders, who escaped the submarine, destroyed the missile before it crashed in the island as he plummets to the ocean below. In a short cutscene after the game credits, the Director's mother rebukes his actions and Volkov tells the Director he quits. The game ends with the Director swearing revenge for Cate and U.N.I.T.Y.

Development
According to Craig Hubbard, Monolith's creative director at the time of the game's release, the game was developed over an 18 month period and was completed on time and on budget. However, one mission was cut from the final release and several others were simplified.

The source code for the game engine was released by Monolith Productions and Sierra Entertainment as part of the No One Lives Forever 2 Toolkit to allow the player to create levels, models, music, sounds, and more. and is currently available for download. Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is needed for compilation.

Reception
The game received "universal acclaim" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. GameSpot named it the second-best computer game of September 2002, behind Battlefield 1942.

The game won several awards, including Game of the Year from GameSpy. The game also received a nomination for the prestigious Excellence in Writing Game Developers Choice Awards, but lost to Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. The staff of Computer Games Magazine named it the best computer game of 2002, tied with Battlefield 1942. They wrote that it is "the Godfather II of game sequels, and it further cements Monolith's spot at the top of the 3D gaming world." The game also won the magazine's "Best Music", "Best Writing" and "Best AI" awards. It was nominated for PC Gamer US "2002 Best Action Game" and Computer Gaming Worlds "Action Game of the Year" awards, both of which ultimately went to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. The latter magazine's staff called it "among the funniest and most entertaining games of 2002."

The game won GameSpot's annual "Best Single-Player Action Game on PC" award, and was nominated in the "Best Sound on PC", "Best Graphics (Technical) on PC", "Best Graphics (Artistic) on PC" and "Game of the Year on PC" categories. The game also received nominations for "Computer First-Person Action Game of the Year" and "Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design" at the AIAS' 6th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards; the awards were ultimately given to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Medal of Honor: Frontline, respectively.

Legacy and fan-made re-release
In 2017, both the original game and the sequel were released with fan-made patches as free downloads at the No One Lives Forever Revival Project.

American Alpine Club

The American Alpine Club (AAC) is a non-profit member organization with more than 26,000 members. The club is housed in the American Mountaineering Center (AMC) in Golden, Colorado.

Through its members, the AAC advocates for American climbers domestically and around the world; provides grants and volunteer opportunities to protect and conserve climbing areas; hosts local and national climbing festivals and events; cares for the nation's leading climbing library and mountaineering museum; manages the Hueco Rock Ranch, New River Gorge Campground, Samuel F. Pryor III Shawangunk Gateway Campground, Rumney Rattlesnake Campground, and Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch as part of a larger lodging network for climbers; and annually gives about $100,000 toward climbing, conservation, and research grants that fund adventurers who travel the world. It also maintains regional sections—with both regional staff and volunteers—throughout the United States.

The AAC publishes two books, The American Alpine Journal (AAJ) and Accidents in North American Climbing (Accidents) annually. Collections of these journals, along with tens of thousands of other climbing-related publications and mountaineering literature, can be found in the Henry S. Hall Jr. American Alpine Club Library, also located in the AMC. The AAC is a 501(c)(3) organization supported by gifts and grants from individuals, corporations and foundations, member dues, and income from lodging, publications and restricted endowments.

History
Founded by Arctic explorer, zoologist and geographer Angelo Heilprin, the American Alpine Club was established in 1902 and had 45 founding members. These original members were primarily from the East Coast, although a handful resided in the Midwest, Washington, and Alaska. Among them was Annie Smith Peck and the AAC's first president, Charles Ernest Fay, who was also a founding member of the Appalachian Mountain Club.

The club was primarily East Coast-oriented for the first half-century of its existence; its headquarters remained in New York until 1993, when the Board unanimously decided to move the AAC to its current location in Golden, Colorado. The club is housed in the American Mountaineering Center, whose other tenants include the Colorado Mountain Club and Outward Bound.

The AAC is historically and contemporarily associated with a number of other American and international organizations. It was a founding member of the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (Union International des Associations d’Alpinism, UIAA) in 1932 and the Arctic Institute of North America in 1948.

Library
The AAC Library was established in 1916 by a gift from American mountaineer Henry Montagnier, whose collection was added to over time by various early club members. The library was initially focused primarily on the Alps. From 1916 until 1929, the library was housed in the New York Public Library, which devoted an entire room to the AAC. During this time, the library grew to include contributions from many members, as well as cultural artifacts from their various expeditions to the Himalayas and elsewhere. In 1941, the AAC purchased a renovated firehouse in Manhattan to house the growing library.

When the AAC moved its permanent headquarters to Golden in 1993, the library, too, moved to its current location in the basement of the American Mountaineering Center, the Henry S. Hall Jr. American Alpine Club Library. Soon after this move, AAC member John Boyle – part of the American expedition that first ascended Mt. Everest's Kangshung Face in 1983 – donated the John M. Boyle Himalayan Library, which included 2,500 books, 400 expedition reports, and 100 videos and films. Many items are autographed by the expedition members who wrote them. Most recently, in 2008, a private collector donated 30,000 bound volumes of the Central Asia Library. Many of the Library's original volumes are housed in the current library's Rare Books Room.

Today, AAC members can search the Library's website for literature and guidebooks and have items shipped to them from Golden. The library also features an online Guidebook Finder which allows users to search for climbing guidebooks by location.

American Alpine Journal
First published in 1929, the American Alpine Journal (AAJ) is an annual publication which includes news on groundbreaking first ascents, trip reports from high-altitude ascents the world over, and various resources—including book reviews, maps, and topography.

Accidents in North American Climbing
For this annual publication, the AAC collaborates with the Alpine Club of Canada to cover accidents caused by inadequate protection, clothing or equipment; inexperience; errors in judgment; and climbers’ pursuing of objectives beyond their abilities. Published with the intention of informing climbers and preventing subsequent accidents, each report includes a detailed analysis of what went wrong and what precautions could be taken to avoid a similar accident.

Membership in the AAC
From the time of its founding until the mid-1980s, candidates for membership in the AAC were required to submit a list of notable ascents at high altitude or other “significant alpine accomplishments.” The phrase “... or the equivalent” appeared at the end of this bylaw, allowing the Board to elect artists and writers with little tangible experience, but for the most part, membership in the Club meant that a person had already achieved a great deal in the world of mountaineering. Today, the AAC has no prerequisites for membership.

Notable members
Another notable founding member is naturalist, prolific writer, and Sierra Club co-founder John Muir, who is considered by many to be the founder of the wilderness preservation movement. Muir also served as the club's second president, and was instrumental in bringing the AAC to a central role in environmental conservation in the United States.

Lyman Spitzer, noted theoretical physicist and astronomer was a member of the club. In 1965, Spitzer and Donald Morton became the first men to climb Mount Thor 1675 m, located in Auyuittuq National Park, on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. As a member of the American Alpine Club Spitzer established the "Lyman Spitzer Cutting Edge Climbing Award" which gives $12,000 to several mountain climbing expeditions annually.

Mary Jobe Akeley, who explored the Selkirk Mountains and much of British Columbia between 1907 and 1914, was an early member.

Current officers
As of 2022, the board of directors consist of the following:

East Brunswick High School

East Brunswick High School is a comprehensive public high school serving students in grades ten through twelve in East Brunswick township, Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It operates as part of East Brunswick Public Schools.

History
East Brunswick High School opened for the 1958–59 school year. Previously, students living in the Township had attended South River High School in neighboring South River. In that first year, the school housed grades six, seven, eight and nine. Those four classes occupied the school until June 1962, when the original 9th graders became its first graduating class and the school contained grades nine through twelve. Because the school exceeded its intended capacity of 1,700 students, freshmen were dropped into the town's two junior high schools in 1967, later one junior high school. Enrollment reached a peak of about 2,600 in 1973. By 1990, the school had fewer than 2,000 students, falling to around 1,700 by 1997.

Additions to the school were built in 1965, 1970 and 2001, in efforts to ease overcrowding. The 2001 expansion included a second level of classrooms, over the administrative offices; a corridor connecting three "buildings" that had previously been connected only by a covered outdoor walkway; and expanded facilities for the cafeteria, library, arts and athletic departments.

The school day at East Brunswick High School used to begin at 7:26 am and ended at 2:12 pm. Initiated in the 2022-23 school year, school now begins at 8:00 am and ends at 2:45pm. It operates its daily bell schedule on an 8-period "block schedule" system (4 80 minute periods per day), with an additional homeroom period occurring between the first two class periods of each day.

At the beginning of the 2005–06 school year, for security reasons, the school instituted an ID system in which the students must wear their IDs at all times.

Awards, recognition and rankings
East Brunswick High School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive, during the 1990–91 school year.

In the 2014 "America's Top High School", Newsweek ranked the school 130th overall in the nation.

In its 2013 report on "America's Best High Schools", The Daily Beast ranked the school 484th among participating public high schools and 41st among schools in New Jersey.

In the 2012 "Ranking America's High Schools" issue by The Washington Post, the school was ranked 45th in New Jersey, after being ranked 48th statewide in 2011. In the May 22, 2007, issue of Newsweek, ranking the country's top high schools, East Brunswick High School was listed in 997th place, the 30th-highest ranked school in New Jersey. The school was ranked 886th in the May 8, 2006, issue of Newsweek, listing the "Top 1,200 High Schools in The United States".

For the 1996–97 school year, East Brunswick High School was named a "Star School" by the New Jersey Department of Education, the highest honor that a New Jersey school can achieve.

In the April 1996 issue, the high school was cited as best in the state by Redbook magazine.

During the 2001–02 school year, East Brunswick High School's Intergenerational Program was honored by the Best Practices Program in the state of New Jersey.

The school was the 47th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 121st in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 71st in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 76th in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 60th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.

The Schooldigger.com website ranked the school tied for 109th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 35 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (87.9%) and language arts literacy (94.4%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).

Curriculum and grading
In addition to regular, honors, and Advanced Placement classes, the curriculum includes numerous electives in humanities, business, visual arts, music, drama, family and consumer science, and technology education. Two Cooperative Education programs are available, as well as a shared time program at the East Brunswick campus of the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical High Schools.

The Board of Education changed the grading system to a "quality point" type of system where grades are equal to a number (GPA) and the GPA from the four quarters plus midterms (and/or finals) are averaged as well. Grade Point Average calculations are weighted three different ways: Standard scale, Honors Scale and AP scale. The Honors Scale transposes GPA values to their respective letter grades by a factor of 1.15, while the AP scale transposes by a factor of 1.25.

Extracurricular activities
East Brunswick High School offers a full range of clubs and events. The school is perhaps most well known for its success in the national We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution competition, for which it won the national title in 1998, and then again three years in a row from 2004 to 2006. The team was the state champion in 2019–20. Through 2005, the team won the We The People state competition in 17 of the program's first 18 years.

Athletics
The East Brunswick High School Bears compete in the Greater Middlesex Conference, which is comprised of public and private high schools in the Middlesex County area and operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. With 2,080 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group IV for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 1,060 to 5,049 students in that grade range. The football team competes in Division 5C of the Big Central Football Conference, which includes 60 public and private high schools in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties, which are broken down into 10 divisions by size and location. The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group V South for football for 2022–2024, which included schools with 1,315 to 2,466 students.

The school participates as the host school / lead agency for a joint ice hockey team with South River High School and Spotswood High School. The co-op program operates under agreements scheduled to expire at the end of the 2023–24 school year.

On October 7, 2005, shortly after being informed by then-Superintendent of Schools Jo Ann Magistro that he would not be permitted to join his football team in prayer as he had done in the past and that some parents had complained about the prayers, East Brunswick High School coach Marcus Borden resigned from his position. Borden, also a tenured Spanish teacher, had by then had a 23-year career with East Brunswick Public Schools. District spokeswoman Trish LaDuca told the East Brunswick newspaper Home News Tribune that a "representative of the school district cannot constitutionally initiate prayer, encourage it or lead it."

The East Brunswick football team lost its game in a shutout on the day Borden resigned. Following Borden's resignation, nearly 100 players, parents, and coaches arrived at his house on a rainy day pleading for his return. Borden agreed and received pro bono legal representation the next week. He filed a lawsuit against the district on November 23 alleging that it was violating his constitutional rights; lawyer Ronald Riccio represented Borden.

Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey ruled on July 26, 2006, that Borden could bow his head and bend his knee if the team captains (i.e., students) led the players in prayer. However, this decision was overturned on April 15, 2008, by a unanimous decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in which Judge D. Michael Fisher concluded that "a reasonable observer would conclude that he is continuing to endorse religion when he bows his head during the pre-meal grace and takes a knee with his team in the locker room while they pray."

In May 2007, a 16-year-old male student from EBHS posted a school shooting threat on the internet and was arrested on Monday morning before school once people had noticed it. After investigating the student's home, no weapons were found inside and police determined it was only a hoax.
 * School shooting threat in 2007

In February 2019, a student from EBHS forged a letter on social media and in a bathroom at the school that had the signature of Superintendent Victor Valeski on it. The forged letter stated that Valeski tried smoking (vaping) an e-cigarette/juul and liked it and as a result, had decided to reverse and replace a vaping policy in which the new policy would allow students to vape in the bathroom/on school grounds only once with no consequences, but after being caught using it a second time, would face a suspension. After this forged letter was found, Valeski said the student would likely be suspended but not face any criminal charges.
 * Forgery incident

In April 2019, a female white student pulled off a hijab (headscarf) of a female Muslim student in a physical fight in the student lounge. The female white student was criminally charged and arrested with simple assault and harassment after an investigation by the East Brunswick Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office. Despite this, she was not charged with a bias or hate crime. The Muslim student was not charged with anything, although she was disciplined along with the female white student and both girls were absent from school the next day. The video of the fight quickly went viral online and on social media.

In 2024, the school faced controversy after a yearbook photo of the school's Jewish Student Union was altered to include pictures of Muslim students, causing significant backlash from the community. The district responded by halting the distribution of yearbooks, initiating an investigation, and planning to reprint affected pages.

Administration
The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1965. The school motto is "Excellence with Honor and Integrity."

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,036 students and 160.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.7:1. There were 295 students (14.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 142 (7.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

The high school's principal is Michael W. Vinella. His administration team includes three assistant principals, one for each grade level. Vinella announced that he would be retiring, effective March 2024.
