Alfredo Moreno

Alfredo David Moreno (12 January 1980 – 8 December 2021) was an Argentine footballer who played as a forward.

Club career
Moreno began his career with Boca Juniors, making his debut for the team September 26, 1999. He had a brief but successful stint with the team, scoring 5 goals in the Copa Libertadores 2000 match against Bolivian side Blooming.

At the age of 21, Alfredo Moreno joined Club Necaxa (on loan with the option to buy the player in a definite purchase) for the Verano 2001 season. Moreno's debut in Mexico was on January 21, 2001, against Puebla FC. On his third game, he managed to score his first goal on Mexican soil by the virtue of penalty kick. However, in that same game against Club Celaya he was also booked twice and sent off. He scored 6 goals in 472 played for an average of one goal every 78 minutes in a season in which Necaxa failed to qualify for the post-season. The next six months were sort of a drought, for he only scored three goals. Moreno and Necaxa did not make the purchase valid and Moreno was back in Argentina playing for Boca Juniors where he stayed for a year and a half, helping the team to win the 2003 Copa Libertadores de América.

After he left Necaxa, however, Boca Juniors sent Alfredo on loan to China's Shandong FC where he had difficulty not only with his football abilities, but also the culture and communication. While in Asia, Moreno said that in training the coach would yell out some indications and someone would have to translate to Spanish. To make things worse, the coach was Russian, so the indications started out in Russian, then Chinese and finally into Spanish. Later on, he joined Lokomotiv of the Russian League where he was for a brief period of one month.

Once again, Moreno would have a second stay with "Los Rayos" for the newly renamed 2003 Apertura where his presence was immediately noticed. In his third game on August 16, 2003, Moreno scored twice to win the game 2–0 against Atlante F.C. In what would be his best season with Necaxa, Alfredo scored 10 times in 20 games (13 starts), but the team slumped in the quarter-finals against the champion Pachuca 4–3 in an aggregate score (Club Necaxa lost 1–3 at home and won 2–1 away). For the next $2 1/2$ years (Apertura 2004, 2005 and Clausura 2004, 2005 and 2006) Moreno scored 29 goals.

In 2006, he played the Copa Libertadores again, this time with UANL Tigres alongside fellow Necaxa striker Ariel Lopez "El Chupa". However, both failed to score in two goalless draws against Libertad of Paraguay where Tigres lost in penalty kicks.

As a striker, Moreno ended in Necaxa's top ten all-time goal scorers with 49 goals in 136 games player. In the years he has been with Necaxa, they have reached the Liguilla (or postseason) four times, being eliminated by Cruz Azul (Invierno 2001), Pachuca (Apertura 2003 and Apertura 2005) and Tecos UAG (Clausura 2005) and Moreno still couldn't find the net in those eight games played.

After much speculation, after three bad seasons and after defending the Rayos jersey for more than five years, Moreno parted ways with Necaxa. On June 11, 2006, Alfredo was transferred alongside Mario Perez to San Luis F.C. during the 2007 Draft. In exchange, Rayos received Angel Reyna and Leonel Olmedo.

In the Apertura tournament of 2007, Moreno was the best goal scorer. In the Apertura 2008 tournament, Moreno was sent to play for Club America. However, after an inconsistent tournament with America scoring 4 goals, he was sent back to Necaxa for the Clausura 2009 tournament where he saw the relegation after he was the only player who sacrificed to maintain Necaxa in the primera division. For the Apertura 2009 and Clausura 2010, Moreno played for San Luis where he showed his level was still intact. For the Apertura 2010, Moreno signed for Atlas de Guadalajara.

Personal life
On 30 November 2021, Moreno underwent urgent surgery. Doctors removed an obstruction from his gallbladder and discovered a malignant tumor which spread to his intestines.

Moreno died from intestinal cancer on 8 December 2021, at the age of 41.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daryl F. Mallett

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page, if it exists; or after the end of this archived section. The result of the debate was no consensus, but I've gone ahead and been WP:BOLD and cleaned up the obvious cruft, bringing some sanity to the article. FCYTravis 5 July 2005 22:25 (UTC)

Daryl_F._Mallett
Someone has added back all of the non-notable content which was deleted in the previous VFD round. This is more evidence that this page is the work of one author and is of little or no use to the Wikicommunity. Perhaps this non-notable entry belongs on a Wikipedia user page instead of an article.Tanstaafl 23:50, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity. He's not in IMDB.  Books around 2 million in Amazon sales rank. --Etacar11 02:17, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity/self promotion. JamesBurns 04:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * How can you say this in non-notable given the list of professional credits ? or is the argument that some/all of those are fake ?  In which case, how, without the fakes being edited out, do we know what we're voting on ?  Would this be a userfy situation ?  --SockpuppetSamuelson 08:32, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see how he's more notable than a thirtysomething lawyer or doctor. If he's really achieved anything significant, I can't make out what it is amidst all the detail. Delete CalJW 00:23, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. I'm not sure if the whole page is accurate, but a number of the books checked out and are for sale on Amazon. Being the work of one author hardly seems proper criteria for deleting a page. — RJH 18:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Extreme vanity—nothing more than vigorous self-promotion.  A lot more is claimed in this article than is proven by the meager references provided.  Some of it probably can't be verified at all, the verifiable parts would take hours of work to document appropriately and even if that was done, the result would still not be worth it because the subject isn't notable.   To answer a question: It's easy to say that the subject is non-notable precisely because of the list of professional credits.  Nothing in the article indicates that this individual is more interesting than the average professional writer.  The excruciating, mind-numbing detail drives that home with force.  If no single accomplishment is notable, having a hundred non-notable accomplishments doesn't add up to encyclopedic notability.  The sea of redlinks in the article is alarming.  Remove this article before he starts to create articles for all that other non-notable junk.  Quale 21:29, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * So, your agument is along the lines of "when everybody's nobody then no-one's anybody" ? --SockpuppetSamuelson 18:49, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No, it's simply "Daryl F. Mallett has no encyclopedically notable accomplishments". No crime there, since I along with most of the rest of the world are in the same boat. The difference is that most of us aren't as vain.  Quale 22:25, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. He's real, a very minor professional in the SF/fantasy field. For what little it's worth, I actually recognized the name. However, somebody ought to take a blowtorch to that list of credits and related self-promotion; I've never seen anybody take public credit as the "editor" of so much stuff they copyedited/proofread before. Borgo Press was a real and substantial publishing operation, even though most of its output was mindnumbingly bibliographical and sold mostly to libraries, and his status there is apparently legitimate. I wouldn't take the time to write him up myself, and only Daryl would shed any tears if this article was reduced to less than a dozen lines. Monicasdude 01:43, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

South Woodford tube station

South Woodford, originally George Lane, is a London Underground station in the suburb of South Woodford in East London. It is on the Epping branch of the Central line, between Snaresbrook and Woodford stations and is in Travelcard Zone 4.

History
The station opened on 22 August 1856 as part of the Eastern Counties Railway branch to Loughton which opened that day. Originally named George Lane, the station was renamed twice: South Woodford (George Lane) on 5 July 1937; and South Woodford on 14 December 1947. The station formed part of the Great Eastern Railway's system until that company amalgamated with other railways to create the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923. On 5 July 1937 the station was renamed "South Woodford (George Lane)".

The station was subsequently transferred to form part of London Underground's Central line on 14 December 1947 when Central line services were extended from Leytonstone to Woodford. This formed a part of the long planned, and delayed, Eastern Extension of the Central line that was part of the London Passenger Transport Board's "New Works Programme" of 1935 – 1940. After transferring to London Underground the "(George Lane)" suffix fell out of use, though it remains on some roundel signs.

During the planning of the Victoria line, route options included a continuation of the line from Walthamstow Central to Woodford or South Woodford stations. However, in 1961, the decision was taken to build only as far as Walthamstow Central.

The station today
The station has two entrances, one on each side of the line. George Lane originally crossed the railway tracks with a level crossing immediately to the north of the station, but this was closed and the road split into two when the line was electrified. The footbridge can be used without a ticket as, unusually for stations on the Epping branch, the footbridge is outside the ticket gateline. For some years the station had step-free access to and from the eastbound platform only. The ramp to the westbound platform was installed and opened in March 2019, making the station fully step-free.

Station improvements
The station underwent considerable renovations in 2006, 150 years after it opened. Five new CCTV cameras were installed in the station underpass with the intention of improving security as, in addition to the multimillion-pound station refurbishment work being undertaken, crime statistics showed South Woodford station had the highest record of violent crime in Redbridge and the underpass was seen as a security risk, particularly after dark. The rebuilding of the section of westbound platform damaged by fire was also completed and the paint scheme was a mix of white, blue and orange. However, the footbridge over the tracks at the east end was not repainted.

Services and connections
Train frequencies vary throughout the day, but generally operate every 3–7 minutes between 07:03 and 22:39 eastbound and between 06:22 and 22:19 westbound.

London Bus routes 179, 549, W12, W13 and W14, and night route N55 serve the station.

Man Overboard (Blink-182 song)

"Man Overboard" is a song by the American rock band Blink-182. It was first released on September 2, 2000, through MCA Records as the lead single from the band's live album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!) (2000). It is the sole studio recording on the release, and was recorded as a bonus track to help promote its release. The song's lyrics, credited to bassist Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge, are about losing their original drummer Scott Raynor to alcohol abuse. In the song, Hoppus repeats the refrain "so sorry it's over," and goes on to highlight occasions in which a friend was too intoxicated to be dependable.

The song was originally written during sessions for the band's third album, Enema of the State. Musically, the song is led by a distinctive bass line, accompanied by melodic guitar riffs and straightforward rock drums. Its songwriting was slow to develop, with the group unable to complete its lyrics in time for placement on the album. At their label's suggestion, the trio re-approached the track for inclusion on the live album. Though the band has never officially confirmed its basis, "Man Overboard" has widely been regarded as a reference to former drummer Raynor, who co-founded Blink-182 and had struggled with alcohol dependency in his last years behind the kit, before being dismissed from the band midway through a 1998 tour.

The single received positive notices from music critics, many of whom have listed it among the band's best songs. Its music video—a number-one hit on MTV—was directed by Marcos Siega, and parodies the group's past clips with dwarfs in place of the band members. The song was a success on rock charts in North America; it peaked at number two on Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, and within the top 20 on Canada's rock charts compiled by RPM. The song was later included on the band's compilation album Greatest Hits. The song is the namesake of the pop punk act Man Overboard.

Background
Though officially unconfirmed, "Man Overboard" is generally believed to be written about the group's original drummer Scott Raynor, who performed and recorded with the trio between 1992 and 1998. Raynor and guitarist Tom DeLonge first met in school, and later met bassist Mark Hoppus to form Blink-182. In the interim years, the band recorded independent albums and toured frequently, attracting a following at the peak of punk rock's mainstream popularity. Though the band was growing successful, tensions between DeLonge/Hoppus and Raynor began to grow evident. Raynor frequently spoke of his desire to return to school, and disagreed with their decision to sign to major-label MCA. He began to struggle with alcohol abuse, which started to affect his performance live. Raynor, interviewed by journalist Joe Shooman for an unofficial band biography, admitted that his behavior in this era was "irresponsible [...] I was drinking way too much." In one instance, Raynor broke both of his heels in an episode while inebriated, and was forced to record the band's major-label debut, Dude Ranch (1997), while on crutches. Eventually, DeLonge and Hoppus phoned Raynor, issuing an ultimatum that he agree to attend an in-patient rehabilitation facility, or be removed from the band. Raynor agreed to do so, but was still dismissed from the group. He later conceded to Shooman that the duo were "right to fire him," though it caused him great grief at the time.

The band would minimize the impact of the situation in future interviews and as of 2023, still remain vague regarding his departure. Blink-182 resumed with new drummer Travis Barker, formerly of the Aquabats, at the helm. "Man Overboard"—named for the exclamation made when a passenger falls from a ship—was first demoed for the band's next album, Enema of the State. It was written by Hoppus, and credited to both he and DeLonge. Barker contributed on drums, though was at this point in their career considered a touring musician and did not receive songwriting credit. Its songwriting process went unfinished, as the group had issues with its lyrics and harmonies. After completing Enema of the State, they simply decided to return to the idea another time. The following year, the band's label, MCA Records, requested they record a new song as a bonus track and single to promote their forthcoming live album, The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!). The trio found it natural to re-approach "Man Overboard", which was completed in mid-2000 with producer Jerry Finn. It was recorded at Signature Sound in the band's hometown of San Diego, California, with Sean O'Dwyer serving as recording engineer. Lastly, it was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge and mastered by Brian Gardner at his studio in Hollywood.

Composition
The song opens with a distinctive solo ostinato on bass guitar performed by Hoppus, preceding a refrain that repeats the phrase "so sorry it's over." As the song begins, Tom DeLonge contributes melodic guitar lines while Barker energetically drums. According to sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Kobalt Music Publishing America, "Man Overboard" is written in common time with a fast tempo of 192 beats per minute. Set in the key of G major, it follows the chord progression of G–G5–A–C5 for the intro, a series of G–Em–C in the verses, and G5–E5–C5–G5 progression for the choruses. Hoppus and DeLonge's vocal parts span from F♯4 to G5.

Stereogum contributor Pranav Trewn observes that the song lyrically presents a "conflicted account out of two unambiguous narratives." Throughout the song, Hoppus alludes to the loss of a friend to alcoholism, recalling their tendency to down "shots without a chaser," and decrying them as "out of line, and rarely sober." Trewn writes that Hoppus switches between "remorseful affection and cold bitterness" toward the song's subject, suggesting that while he commiserates with this friend, DeLonge is more outwardly disdainful. DeLonge's portions, serving as backup vocals, claim "there's so much more" the duo wanted from the subject. The song concludes with the understanding that Hoppus fails to miss this person's presence, demanding this friend "hand in [their] resignation."

Music video
The music video was directed by Marcos Siega. The band first met Siega coming up in the punk rock scene, and their similar ethos led them to hire him in the past for the music videos for "All the Small Things" and "What's My Age Again?". In the "Man Overboard" clip, the trio—sleeping in a tour van speeding overnight—each have nightmares that take place in their past music videos ("What's My Age Again?" for Hoppus, "Adam's Song" for DeLonge and "All the Small Things" for Barker), in which persons of small stature play their parts. These shots are intercut with clips of the band performing live, filmed at the Belly-Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California. The band had previously utilized a cast of little people for its performance at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, 2000. The band was subsequently touring in Europe when Barker suggested they employ the same actors for their next video. Hoppus proposed it would be humorous if the actors replicate the band's "What's My Age Again?" music video, in which the three ran naked through the streets of Los Angeles. This was parlayed into a full-on parody of their past music videos, starring little people in the roles of the bandmembers, who themselves played extras in the video. The band phoned Siega, who liked the idea and wrote its treatment. They also hired an artist to re-create DeLonge and Barker's tattoos on the actors.

Despite the song's more serious subject matter, the band hoped to provide an entertaining video, in line with their humorous personas. The video was shot between September 18–24, 2000 in Los Angeles and San Diego. Hoppus's mother makes a cameo in the concert pit at the Belly-Up. It was first added to MTV rotation for the week ending October 8, 2000, and to the playlist of the Box and Canadian channel MuchMusic the following weeks. It became MTV's most-played clip for the week ending October 22, surpassing videos by acts such as the Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera. Aiding in the clip's popularity was a half-hour special taking viewers behind the scenes of its production. This special, Making the Video: Man Overboard, first premiered on October 18, 2000.

Commercial performance
The song debuted on Billboard Modern Rock Tracks ranking at number 31 in the issue dated September 30, 2000. Billboard designated it with the signifier "Airpower" in the following issue, denoting heavy airplay rotation. It rose steadily over the following weeks to reach a peak of number two on November 18, 2000, its eighth week on the chart. It was held out of the top spot by "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)", a single by fellow American rockers Fuel. It last appeared on the ranking in the issue dated February 24, 2001, after which it fell out of the top 40. In Canada, it peaked at number 19 in its third week on the Top 30 Rock Report, a listing compiled by the magazine RPM. Outside of North America, "Man Overboard" charted in two locations. In Australia, the song reached number 40 on its national ARIA Charts, while in New Zealand, the song ranked number 49.

Release and reception
"Man Overboard" was first alluded to in an August 2000 article on MTV.com, which reported the band were back in the studio to record a studio track accompanying its new live album, The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!). The song debuted online, streaming exclusively on MTV.com, the website for L.A.-based radio station KROQ-FM and the band's official site on September 2, 2000. The song was later serviced to radio on September 18 of that year. A maxi CD single for the song was issued on December 5, 2000. Its release prompted fans to speculate about whether or not it was referring to Raynor. Raynor, in the Shooman interview, claims to have never listened to the song. A live version of the song was initially slated as a bonus track for the band's 2005 Greatest Hits compilation, but was left off.

Original reviews of the song were positive. An uncredited Billboard writer, reviewing the single, complimented the song's "infectious" guitar riff and Barker's "aggressive" percussion, suggesting its potential to crossover between multiple radio formats. Natalie Nichols of the Los Angeles Times characterized it as a "brash-yet-pretty heartbreak anthem." Stereogum contributor Pranav Trewn extolled it as among the band's best songs, commenting that its structure is "composed solely of hooks. There's not a single section that couldn't function as the song's center, with one of Hoppus' all-time best bass lines reigning most identifiable as a chorus." Consequence of Sound, in a 2015 top 10 of the band's best songs, ranked it as number three, with writer Randall Colburn calling it "triumphant": "Such straight-faced commentary on friendship was fairly uncharted territory for Blink at the time, and that "Man Overboard" transcends the band's relationship with Raynor speaks to the strength of the songwriting. It's also one of the finest displays of one of Blink's more indelible musical touches: Hoppus' bass."

The Triumphs of Oriana

The Triumphs of Oriana is a book of English madrigals, compiled and published in 1601 by Thomas Morley, which first edition has 25 pieces by 23 composers (Thomas Morley and Ellis Gibbons have two madrigals) for 5 and 6 voices. The first 14 madrigals are for 5vv, the last 11 for 6vv. It was said to have been made to honour Queen Elizabeth I. Every madrigal in the collection contains the following couplet at the end: “Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana: long live fair Oriana” (the word "Oriana" often being used to refer to Queen Elizabeth) though some of the composers wrote variants of this refrain.

Recently, the attribution of "Oriana" to Elizabeth has come into question. Evidence has been presented that "Oriana" actually refers to Anne of Denmark, who would become Queen of England alongside James VI of Scotland (later James I of England) in an apparently failed early attempt to remove Elizabeth in order to restore England to Catholicism. In his book 'The English Madrigalists', Edmund Fellowes, the most prolific of madrigal editors of the earlier 20th century, disapproved of the theory.

Choral Songs in Honour of Her Majesty Queen Victoria (1899)
In 1899, at the instigation of Sir Walter Parratt, Master of the Queen's Music, 13 British composers contributed songs to a collection modeled on The Triumphs of Oriana, entitled Choral Songs in Honour of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, published on the occasion of Victoria's 80th birthday.

A Garland for the Queen (1953)
A Garland for the Queen, a compilation along similar lines, containing pieces by ten composers, was published to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

Brad Clark

Brad Clark (born 1960) is a Canadian politician in Ontario, Canada. He was the councillor in Ward nine in Hamilton, Ontario from December 2006 to December 2014. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1999 to 2003, and was a cabinet minister in the governments of Mike Harris and Ernie Eves. In the 2018 municipal elections he again won councillor in Ward nine in Hamilton Ontario defeating Doug Conley.

Background
Clark was educated at Mohawk College in Hamilton, receiving a diploma in radio broadcasting. He owned and operated a small business after his graduation, and also served as executive director of the Songwriters Association of Canada. In June 2004, Clark began co-hosting a weekly program on aging on CHML radio.

Politics
In the provincial election of 1999, he ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the suburban Hamilton riding of Stoney Creek. He defeated Liberal candidate Chris Phillips by about 2,500 votes. On February 8, 2001, he was appointed as the province's Minister of Transportation. When Ernie Eves succeeded Mike Harris as Premier on April 15, 2002, he named Clark as his Minister of Labour.

Clark was initially favoured for re-election in the provincial election of 2003 against Liberal candidate Tony Magnini. Magnini was forced to resign in mid-campaign amid allegations of fraud, however, and the Liberals were able to convince Jennifer Mossop, a popular local journalist, to take his place. She defeated Clark by over 5,000 votes. In 2004, he endorsed Frank Klees's bid to lead the Ontario Progressive Conservatives.

On November 13, 2006, Clark beat out incumbent city councillor Phil Bruckler by a narrow margin for a seat on the Hamilton City Council to represent Ward 9, which includes the mountain and heritage areas of Stoney Creek. In the federal election of 2011 Clark ran against and was defeated by NDP incumbent Wayne Marston in the riding of Hamilton East—Stoney Creek. He did not step down from council when running for this political position.

In the Hamilton Municipal Election of 2014, Clark ran for the mayoralty of the city. He placed second, being defeated by former Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger. This ended his term as a city councillor when the new council was sworn in late in December 2014.

For a while now, I've thought Wikipedia was probably the best site on the Internet -- and that includes a lot of sites. I've been editing stuff anonymously here and there for a while, but I only recently registered so I could upload images. I crave not fame. I just wanna copy edit a little. And write the occasional article about a topic near and dear to my heart.

I live in Forest Hills, Queens, New York and work in Midtown Manhattan. But that's all the identifying info you get. Well, except for the photo to the right.

Capella University

Capella University is a private for-profit, online university headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The school is owned by the publicly traded Strategic Education, Inc. and delivers most of its education online.

Capella has 47 degree programs with over 1,600 online courses. Approximately 41,401 students are enrolled from all 50 states and 51 other countries, with 18 percent enrolled in doctoral programs, 45 percent enrolled in master's programs, and 35 percent enrolled in bachelor's programs.

History
Capella University was originally established as The Graduate School of America by Dr. Harold Abel and Stephen Shank in 1993. Shank was the former CEO of Tonka. Abel, formerly the president of Castleton State College, Central Michigan University, and Walden University, became the first president of the institution.

In 1997, Capella University received regional accreditation. Two years later the parent company and university were renamed Capella Education Company and Capella University, respectively. In 2000, Capella began to offer bachelor's degree programs.

In 2005, Capella Education Company announced its intention to go public with an initial public offering. In 2006, they became a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: CPLA), raising $80 million with the offering.

In 2007, Capella was named one of 86 higher education institutions in the United States to have received the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE) designation by the National Security Agency (NSA). The designation was valid for the academic years 2007 through 2012.

In March 2008, Capella Education Company, longtime occupant of the 225 South Sixth skyscraper in downtown Minneapolis, signed a new lease that expanded its office and renamed the building Capella Tower. The building houses all of the company's 1,150 downtown Minneapolis administrative staff.

In 2009, The Project Management Institute (PMI) Global Accreditation Center for Project Management (GAC) accredited two Capella University online degree programs: the MS in Information Technology with a specialization in Project Management; and the BS in Information Technology with a specialization in Project Management. It also launched its School of Public Service Leadership.

In 2010, Capella, along with three other schools, was awarded the CHEA Award for Outstanding Institutional Practice in Student Learning Outcomes by The Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

In August 2018, Capella University's parent company Capella Education merged with Strayer Education Inc. to form Strategic Education, Inc.

In 2019, Capella added learning sites in Atlanta, Georgia and Orlando, Florida.

Capella began a partnership with Optum in August 2023 to launch an educational program for nursing. In September 2023, Constance St. Germain was appointed to be President of Capella University.

Academics
According to College Navigator, Capella's faculty comprises 207 full-time instructors and 1,321 part-time instructors.

Undergraduate applicants who do not have any credits eligible for transfer must complete a university-approved examination to be considered for admission.

Capella's enrollment is composed mainly of graduate students, including 45 percent MS/MBA students and 18 percent PhD/PsyD doctoral students. The undergraduate population of Capella makes up 35 percent of the student body. Less than one percent are working on certificate programs. The average age of a Capella student is 37. Ninety-five percent of students are enrolled part-time, 86 percent are female, and 53 percent are ethnic minorities.

Capella allows a limited number of credits to be earned through a prior learning assessment program, which can provide college credit for past experiences.

Accreditation
Capella University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Baccalaureate and graduate level teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The graduate level counseling program is accredited by The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Baccalaureate and graduate level nursing programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Baccalaureate and graduate level business programs have been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs since 2014. Baccalaureate level information technology programs have been accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc (ABET).

U.S. Department of Education compliance audit
In 2006, the United States Department of Education, Office of the Inspector General (OIG) began a compliance audit of Capella. OIG focused on the university's policies and procedures concerning the return of Title IV funds as required by Federal Law for students who failed to give official notice that they were withdrawing from the school. The OIG found that Capella made accounting mistakes in how it calculated student eligibility for government-subsidized loans, including failing to return all funds disbursed on behalf of students who dropped out before their first day of class. Capella, in a response to the audit, says it recognizes some past shortcomings in its accounting practices and has made changes to ensure that such errors are not repeated.

Criticism of marketing expenses and executive compensation
In 2012, Capella received criticism for its expenditures on marketing, profit, and CEO pay rather than instruction, and its use of aggressive recruiting practices. According to a report issued by former U.S. Senator Tom Harkin for the Senate Education Committee, approximately 79% of the institution's cash flow comes from US government Title IV payments, including Pell grants. The report concluded that Capella's recruiting and student services were better managed than most other for-profit competitors, especially among graduate degree students. The high withdrawal rate among Bachelor's student hopefuls, the over-reliance on part-time instructors, and the high relative marketing budget were cited as potential causes for concern.

Class-action lawsuit
In 2018, a lawsuit was filed against Capella in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging that the school "violated doctoral students' rights by creating a process intended to ensure that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for students to timely complete, or complete at all, their doctoral programs." The school rejected the lawsuit's claims, stating that the court had thrown out the majority of the legal claims. In 2022, the class action was resolved through private mediation with terms not disclosed.

Alleged fraud regarding student loans
Capella University was one of 153 institutions in student loan cancellation due to alleged fraud. The class action was brought by a group of more than 200,000 student borrowers, assisted by the Project on Predatory Student Lending, part of the Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School. A settlement was approved in August 2022, stating that the schools on the list included "substantial misconduct by the listed schools, whether credibly alleged or in some instances proven." In April 2023, the Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the settlement and allowed to proceed the debt cancellation due to alleged fraud.

Talk:Inclusive school

For a December 2004 deletion debate over this page see Votes for deletion/Inclusive classroom

Quotes
Should we have a source for the quotes? Are the references at the end where they came from? Joyous 23:31, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

The section Inclusive Classroom should be split. The first article refers to Inclusive Education, which is a philosophy of education which sees diversity as a resource, and speaks for the changing of institutions so that they better serve the differneces among children. The teaching/programming and benefits sections refer specifically to the mainstreamning of Special Needs and Disabled Chilrden. I suggest that this section be merged with mainstreaming, and that the Inclusive Classroom section be retitled Inclusive Education.

Reference UNESCO (2005) Guidelines for Inclusion: Ensuring Access to Education for All

Inclusive classroom is a part of inclusive education. Inclusive education and mainstreaming are two different topics. Mainstreaming does not fully include disabled students with non-disabled students. Inclusive education includes them fully. There is a difference. Inclusive education is obviously the better approach. (209.177.21.6 - Talk )

controversy
As the concept of an Inclusive Classroom is not universally accepted, there definitely should be some other opinions on the subject towards the bottom. The rather ridiculous string of benefits towards the end read exactly like a pamphlet favoring the idea. (They are poorly reasoned as well.) 0638 July 2 2006

Images
I think this article should have more pictures. This article should be neutral. There should be a child, adolescent and adult with Down syndrome. (209.177.21.6 - Talk )

Comments on article
This article should provide a list of inclusive schools. I personally have never heard of schools that were inclusive. The teachers in inclusive schools must have a lot of training to work with all types of students. I wish my school were inclusive. Then everyone would be more accepting. (69.117.20.128 - Talk )

 * Many countires now have legislation requiring schools to include students with disabiltiies in mainstream education. MrsPlum 09:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

"appropriate training programs for teachers, and for all students"
An inclusive education is possible. I removed the Criticism section because I felt it wasn't necessary to be put in the article when the article is about the concept of inclusive education. An inclusive school provides appropriate training programs for teachers and for all students. This is to help teachers get more training. This defeats the purpose for the Criticism section. (209.177.21.6 - Talk )

criticism
that section is a joke. "Schools, centers of learning and educational systems feel that individual differences create problems in the regular classrooms. They argue that special education helps "fix" the special needs students by providing individualized and personalized instruction to meet their unique needs. It is a cost-effective response instead of creating an inclusive school (which would for the most part be expensive)." It's not an even handed take on criticism of "inclusive classrooms". It's a throw-away mention of *a* criticism, with a follow-up attack on the supposed motives of the critics. This article is definitely not neutral. Novium 16:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Criticism is neutral
Inclusive education is a dream that will never happen at public schools. Special education will always exist at public schools. It's too expensive for public schools to become an inclusive school. The only schools that would do this are probably a private school. Public schools cannot do this. The criticism looks neutral but I'm going to try and make it better. I think that general education teachers are just lazy. They don't care about children at all. Part of being a teacher is about making sacrifices. Schools are supposed to educate students. Bullying is still an issue in schools. You know why that is? because students don't accept each other. Acceptance is very important and by setting an example in schools students are less likely to harm one another. (209.177.21.6 - Talk )
 * Please remember that additions to Wikipedia need to follow the Verifiability policy. The "Arguments against" section does not cite any sources - it appears to be based on your personal beliefs. It needs to be rewritten, citing prominent critics of inclusive education by name. Rhobite 14:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Picture
I think there should be a picture of a disabled and a nondisabled person smiling together. After all this is an article about inclusive classroom. It's about coming together. (209.177.21.6 - Talk )

criticism
This section is a joke, there are no valid, sourced and referenced arguments here. It is the same one-sided, "inclusion good, everything else bad!" schlock as the rest of the article. It needs a thorough rewrite which i'll attempt when i have time unless someone with the interest and the ability to be impartial has the time first. --www.secularism.org.uk 18:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

confused...
Question....what about those people who are suffering from profound mental retardation? How is it possible for them to be a part of the school? It's not possible for every student with special needs to be in an inclusive school. This article is a complete waste. It serves no purpose at all. (209.177.21.6 - Talk )
 * People suffering profound mental retardation require total supervision and nursing care all their lives. These people are educated in special schools. They cannot be educated in mainstream schools. Therefore inclusive schools are only those special education students that can be educated in the mainstream schools.   (69.117.20.128 - Talk )

Third opinion
I call for a compromise. As an editor, I like 69.117.20.128's lead, as it's more concise and understandable. However, the inclusion of Category:Utopias is a clear breach of NPOV. The criticism section would be better off as a pro and con explanation, but I believe Mike's vocabulary was too strong in the opponent section, and 69.117.20.128's was favoring the issue a little too much. Try to put up a sandbox criticism section as a subpage in one of your userpages, and use words with more neutral connotations.  bibliomaniac 1  5  23:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:OR
This is an appallingly biased article, it has no neutrality and is entirely one-sided. It's an affront to Wikipedia's values, I've fully tagged its deficiencies in order that readers do not take its spurious claims as fact or, in any way, sourced information. As it is simply a collection of thoughts of one person, it directly contravenes WP:OR. --Brideshead 16:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It is not an utopia. I made a mistake the first time.  Inclusive classrooms are the reality in most elementary and secondary schools.   How is this article an appallingly biased article? It simply states what inclusive classrooms are.  It’s a mix of special education students and general education that are taught together.  Which should be the right thing to do…then having special ed. students getting pulled out for special education e.g. resource room.  I also put in that students that are educated in special schools would not benefit from an inclusive classroom because their needs are too intensive.  For example, those suffering from profound mental retardation would not benefit from inclusive classrooms.   They would not have a good learning experience as well as general education students. (69.117.20.128 - Talk )

Indeed, it's not that I necessarily disagree with the views expressed here, i don't, it's that they are exactly that - views. they are not facts and are unreferrenced. they don't show the whole picture. --Brideshead 19:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it does show the whole picture. (69.117.20.128 - Talk )

reason for deletion
I deleted "in education" because inclusive classrooms don't exist in the education system because public school have special education. When they have it, it means that they don't have inclusive classrooms. They may have what is called an integrated class. but that is different than inclusive classrooms. (209.177.21.6 - talk)

Worldwide
There are many areas around the world where an inclusive education is implemented, or is being worked towards. see the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 for references to the Scottish system. All of education is idealistic as the disparity between what is aimed for and what is possible in the real world renders it so. --Brideshead 13:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The fact that there is special education is a fact that it isn’t an inclusive education. Just because a school is becoming more inclusive does not mean that it practices inclusive education.  If inclusive education exist, then give me at least one school that is an inclusive school.  "An inclusive education refers to schools, centers of learning and educational systems that no longer provide "regular education" and "special education" but provide a service which includes every student, no matter what he or she needs at the time." This line proves it...that special education is not provided in inclusive schools.  (69.117.20.128 - talk)

I give up! This isn't an article, it sounds to me more like a rant from someone who has had a bad experience with special education at school, my free-time is too tight. I'll be supporting this article for deletion as it is pointless. --Brideshead 16:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)--Brideshead 16:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

A response to User talk:69.117.20.128
Hi there. I noticed that you reinstated some point-of-view material into this article. I appreciate your concerns about this article, and agree that it needs work to bring it to a neutral point of view. However, your editorial comments are clearly not appropriate for an encyclopedic resource. I would appreciate it if you could rewrite your introduction in a neutral tone, or if you could offer me some suggestions as to what would satisfy you in order to prevent this turning into an edit war. I am also posting this to the article talk page so we can engage other editors in discussion. Thanks! --Xnuala (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC) Also, I have made a few changes to tone down the opinionated parts of the introduction.--Xnuala (talk) 22:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

deletion
I support the deletion; this article is a personal rant of one user. It does not cover any area not already covered more appropriately in inclusion, inclusive education, special education, mainstreaming in education and probably others. It discusses a narrow perception of one way of implementing inclusion. The inclusive classroom described here is a fictional system and does not exist in this form in the real world. --Brideshead 16:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There's a reason why this article is under the category of utopian movements. Of course it's a fictional system and that it doesn't exist in this form in the real world.  why else have the article been placed in that category of utopian movements? I am objecting to the deletion.  Brideshead, you should read The Inclusive Classroom.  it's under the references.  It will tell you what inclusive education really is.  (209.177.21.6 - talk)

Thank you for the suggestion, it will certainly tell me one way of implementing inclusion, one system. 209.177.21.6/(Rainingmysoul?)I have read many, many books on what inclusive education "really is" thank you; this is one example of the huge amount of reference material on inclusion available, but I take it under advisement. --Brideshead 19:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * This article should not be deleted. Inclusion is a requirement/policy of governments in some countries/states, such as Australia. It does not mean that all students must be included all of the time. Obviously that is not practical. It just means that excluding students on the basis of disability is no longer considered acceptable.  This definitely presents some challenges for the teaching profession (what about a section on challenges?). However I don't think it is reasonable to delete an article just because some people don't like or fully understand the concept. MrsPlum 09:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

national based information
Sections on the situation with inclusive education in different countries - comparisons? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.80.152.198 (talk) 13:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

RfC: image?

Could we use this image for this article? Inclusive education is about accepting everyone. When schools set a good example to the students, students will be more tolerant to each other. Schools need to show tolerance first before students can show it. The result of inclusive schools would be warm caring friendships that will develop. So why not have a image of two girls showing that? (69.117.20.128 - talk)

Why not some nice fluffy bunnies too, or a pony? Is this an encyclopaedia entry on an education topic or is it a big warm fuzzy hug? Give me strength. --Brideshead 19:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * hey....that user was being creative. Why don't you come up with an image for this article? There is no images on here.  (209.177.21.6 - talk)

 * Oh please, "That user" we all know, you are the same user using sock puppets, let's stop pretending. --Brideshead 19:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

The tags are still necvessary. The article is still heavily biased and unreferenced, readers need the warning at the beginnings to know what to expect. The individual comments are flagged to allow them to be address and the entire article is tagged as needing work, it is wikipedia policy. --Brideshead 19:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry about that mistake...i learned a lesson now...i won't do it anymore...part of being a wikipedian is learning. (209.177.21.6 - talk)

The correct place for the unreferenced template is either on the Talk page or (my preference) at the end of the article in the "sources" section. Here, though, it isn't needed, as there are already plenty of instances of it in individual sections. Note that it's not for readers, but for editors. --Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 19:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * My mistake. --Brideshead 19:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Image 2
Tha anon who keeps adding a pointless image asked me about it on my Talk page (politely), but I see that that was paralleled by his replacing the image in the article with a less than polite edit summary.

The image has no obvious (or even hidden) relation to the article; the explanation – because the girl is smiling and waving at the camera, therefore the photo supports the article – is bizarre. If there is a photo that's genuinely relevant, then fine — though it's not the sort of topic for which images seem particularly relevant. --Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 14:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

God give it a rest mel just leave the image in it's relevent mate, peace hav a nice day i've added it back. (81.79.230.126 - talk)

 * If you can't offer a sensible argument, why bother saying anything? It's clearly not relevant, you've given no coherent reason for thinking that it is.  I'll take this to RfC and see what others say. --Mel Etitis  ( Talk ) 21:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

(RfC) I think a picture of children is irrelevant to an article about an administrative strategy for education. Also, "the article doesn't have a picture" is not a valid argument for including even a relevant image. — Demong talk 23:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

RE: RfC - I see nothing to be gained by adding an image to an article on a philosophical argument, even if they were relevant, which these are clearly not. i must admit, I can't imagine what a useful photo for this article would be, i don't think it needs one. --Brideshead 16:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

(RfC) I don't see the point of the picture in reference to this article. It is not relevent to the content and does not demonstrate any aspect of an "inclusive classroom". I would say that the image should be left out of the article. Malson 15:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

(RfC) The image doesn't have link to the article besides that a classroom usually has children as students. If it was a picture of a class or of children in an inclusive environment (i suppose thats hard to show)... but this picture doesn't seem to do that. MrMacMan Talk  20:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

(RfC) The image would not be encyclopedic as it would be trying to characterize the subject in a way that is positive rather than neutral. --8521105559a 00:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

(RfC) Why is this image being put here? You can't just publish pictures of children, which seems to be the anon editor's desire. Why is this picture available at all? Shouldn't it be deleted? 02:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks to everyoine who commented. There's unanimous rejection of the use of the image. --Mel Etitis  ( Talk ) 08:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Quotations
An anon (the person who was insisting on the images, I think), is insisting on the inclusion of a quotations section. Not only is such a section deprecated by the MoS, but the four quotations were either unsourced, anodyne beyond the level of a Hallmark card, or of dubious relevance. The only one with a proper source has again been inserted under the PoV header "Memorable quotes":

 * “Children who learn together, learn to live together.” (Reference for quote; URL accessed May 3, 2007)

The source is a Web page about Inclusion, and the quotation is a slogan at the top of the page. It seems to me that this is simply another attempt to push a point of view in the article. I looked at the article to see if the quotation could be included in the text, and the only way would be to say that it's the slogan of a Web page advocating this approach — which is of little significance, and adds nothing to the article. --Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 07:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

featured article?
Is it possible for this article to become featured? I really would like this article to be featured. I added citations...what other things can I do to help out?

I love this article...I completely am devoted to this cause...I'm going to fight for this inclusive education movement. After all that I've been through, I will fight for those who aren't treated well in special education. Who's with me?? anyone? cause I'm going to do it...and no one is going to stop me..so there!!! I said it!! (Jessica - talk)

 * Er, yes. Two problems with that.  First, this isn't a soapbox but an encyclopædia; articles must conform with our policies, including WP:NPOV.  Your recent additions to the article (apart from introducing some odd English and changing British to U.S. English for no obvious reason) unbalanced the article even further, without adding any substantial information.
 * Secondly, if you continue to try to use Wikipedia as a soapbox, you may well be blocked from editing.
 * If you want to campaign for inclusive education, I suggest you do so on your own Website, or find a relevant Website that would appreciate your help. If you want to edit this article, by all means do — but your editing has to be neutral, as well as following our other guidelines and policies.
 * With regard to this being a featured article: not a chance as it stands, I think. It's seriously unbalanced; if it gets to a point where the NPoV notice can be removed, then you might think about FA status. --Mel Etitis ( Talk ) 10:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
