Foolish Pleasure

Foolish Pleasure (March 23, 1972 – November 17, 1994) was an American bay Thoroughbred race horse who won the 1975 Kentucky Derby.

Background
Foolish Pleasure was a bay horse bred at Williston, Florida by Waldemar Farms, Inc. He was owned by John L. Greer and trained by LeRoy Jolley, who had previously been partners in the colt Ridan. He was sired by What A Pleasure, who won the Hopeful Stakes in 1967 before becoming a successful breeding stallion. His dam, Fool-Me-Not, was descended from the British broodmare Becti (foaled 1929), who was the female-line ancestor of many major winners including Mrs McArdy, Borgia, and Boreal.

Racing career
Foolish Pleasure was undefeated as a two-year-old. In 1975, at age three, he won the Flamingo Stakes and Wood Memorial Stakes before contesting the Kentucky Derby. Ridden by Jacinto Vásquez, he raced well off the pace on the inside before making a forward move approaching the final turn. He was switched to the outside in the straight and produced a strong late burst to win from Avatar.

Although heavily favored to win, Foolish Pleasure finished second to Master Derby in the Preakness. He then finished runner-up to Avatar in the Belmont Stakes.

In July 1975, a match race was arranged between Foolish Pleasure and the unbeaten filly Ruffian. Vásquez chose to ride Ruffian, with Braulio Baeza taking over on Foolish Pleasure. While on the lead, Ruffian broke down, allowing Foolish Pleasure to win unchallenged.

Foolish Pleasure remained in training as a four-year-old and won the Donn Handicap and Suburban Handicap.

Retirement
Foolish Pleasure was placed at Greentree Stud after being syndicated for US$4.5 million. He later spent time at Mint Lane Farm and Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky before being moved out to Kerr Stock Farm in California. He was purchased by Ron Vanderhoef in September 1993 and moved to Horseshoe Ranch in Dayton, Wyoming, where he remained until he died from a gastric rupture on November 17, 1994.

Foolish Pleasure was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1995. In the Blood Horse magazine ranking of the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century, he was ranked #97.

Pedigree

 * Foolish Pleasure was inbred 4 × 4 to Blenheim, meaning that this stallion appears twice in the fourth generation of his pedigree.

POV
I think this article reads a little too much like a promo. If the superlatives could be removed and the facts given more prominence it would be a fine article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:41, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, based on Avoid_academic_boosterism so I'm moving the cleanup marker to the main page, rather than the talk page. I hope we can track down some information about the history of the school, its founding, etc., rather than focusing only on the changes made by the most recent administration. Mamawrites 05:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Given the POV problems associated with the rankings, I have decided to move it here to the talk page. Since I have also added some information concerning history (with the little information that I have obtained so far), I decided to remove the cleanup tag for now. If someone believes that the article is still in need of a cleanup, replace the cleanup tag and give a reason for it. I appreciate the help if someone provides it.

 * Wharton	2.44
 * Harvard	3.67
 * Chicago	5.00

Between 1988 and 2004, the school's position in BusinessWeek's biennial business school ranking has averaged around #5 and #6. BusinessWeek also ranks major academic divisions/disciplines; all of the school's divisions ranked in the top five in all nine surveys of the past twenty years. The magazine has consistently rated the major disciplines of the University of Michigan Business School in the top five since it launched its biannual ranking of professional schools in 1988. Only three other business schools can make this claim.

When BusinessWeek Online announced its "Top Ten Management Gurus," based on surveying executives worldwide, Michigan professors Dave Ulrich (rated number one), Noel Tichy, C. K. Prahalad and Michigan alumnus Gary Hamel, PhD 1990, dominated the list.

BusinessWeek's "The Best B-Schools" report of October 2004 ranked the business school sixth overall among the best business schools, and fourth in leadership for its training efforts. In the same report, under the "Best and Brightest" category for schools that produce graduates with the best skills, the business school ranked:
 * 3 in Marketing
 * 5 in General Management
 * 7 in Ethics
 * 8 in Global Scope

In other BusinessWeek rankings, the MBA program was given an overall rank:
 * 2006 - 5
 * 2004 - 6

The Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive Guide to Business Schools: Recruiters' Top Picks 2005, released in September 2004, ranked the business school:
 * 1 national ranking - Top North American Schools
 * 2 in academic excellence for Marketing
 * 4 in academic excellence for Operations Management

 * 2 in Management undergraduate programs
 * 2 in Marketing undergraduate programs
 * 3 in Finance undergraduate programs

U.S. News and World Report's Departmental Excellence Ratings (2002) placed Michigan in the top five for strength "across the board."

U.S. News & World Report's Best Undergraduate Business Program rankings (2006) placed Michigan third, tied with University of California-Berkley. This is the highest rating for any public university.

The Financial Times' Special Report on Executive Education (2005, released May 2004) ranked Michigan:
 * 3 in Program Design
 * 4 for Quality of Program Faculty
 * Among the top 10 for Skills and Learning, Food and Accommodations, and Relevance of Teaching Materials

Job Placement
http://education.yahoo.com/college/essentials/school_rankings/biz/best_career_prospects.html

2007 Top Ten Business Schools with the Best Career Prospects Provided by The Princeton Review

The business world is about the bottom line and the bottom dollar, and students who pursue an MBA enjoy a major return on their investment. To determine the schools on this list, The Princeton Reivew looked at institutional data concerning job placement and average starting salary of students after graduation. In addition, The Princeton Review asked students to discuss the efforts of their career placement office, the quality of recruiting companies, their level of preparation, and more. According to The Princeton Review’s annual survey of 18,000 business school students at the nation’s Best 282 Business Schools, these ten schools offer their students the best career prospects.

The Career Management Center at Stanford doesn’t have to do a whole lot; companies come looking for Stanford MBAs without much prompting. In addition to great career services, students agree that Stanford has a “strong alumni network where you can get help when needed.”
 * 1) Stanford University (Stanford, California)

Overall, Chicago graduates find jobs and are well-placed in their field, and school-facilitated sources account for over 80 percent of all hires. One student points out that Chicago “is one of only a few schools to have been at the top for nearly 100 years, so there is an amazing, deep alumni network of professionals” who are “very excited to help build presence at their firms.”
 * 2) University of Chicago (Chicago, Illinois)

When it’s time to find a job, the students at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business benefit from their program’s high profile and sound reputation. In addition, the Haas Career Center provides a broad range of excellent services including one-on-one advisement and a mentoring program in which second-year students counsel first years in their search for internships.
 * 3)University of California--Berkeley (Berkeley, California)

Michigan’s Ross School of Business “literally has the largest alumni network of any business school in the world.” The desirability of Ross MBAs can be seen in the geographic diversity of their first-job locations. While one in three remains in the Midwest, others head everywhere from the mid-Atlantic to the Pacific Coast to companies outside of the United States.
 * 4) University of Michigan—Ann Arbor (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

Columbia’s MBA Career Services Office benefits from a propitious location in the financial capital of the world. The office helps students coordinate internship and employment searches and also provides a “range of complementary resources from intimate workshops on interviewing and presentation skills to a five-part course on different aspects of the job.”
 * 5) Columbia University (New York, New York)

Wharton is a brand that pretty much sells itself so it’s no surprise that the school’s career services are highly regarded and widely appreciated by students. Mock interviews, internship placement, one-on-one counseling, and over 25 career paths both in and outside the United States are just some of the reasons students praise Wharton’s “fantastic career opportunities.” Being situated between Wall Street and Midtown definitely has its perks for Stern’s Office of Career Development. As one student says, “There is a huge emphasis on career here.” Stern’s NYC location “is a mecca for several key industries and provides Stern students with a broad range of opportunities that meet their career objectives.” Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
 * 6)University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
 * 7)New York University (New York, New York)

 * 8)Harvard Business School hardly needs a Career Development Center any more than Rolls Royce needs salesman to move its cars. The school maintains a robust career services office all the same, providing a full complement of counseling and placement services. Over 800 companies pay recruiting visits to the campus and half of all MBAs remain on the East Coast after graduation.

UCLA students are in the fortunate position of being able to draw upon an alumni network that includes more than 33,000 “corporate executives, entrepreneurs, consultants, film producers, high tech innovators, financiers, and other professionals.” Students say, “The school makes good use of its alumni network and the diverse industries in the Los Angeles area.”
 * 9)University of California—Los Angeles (Los Angeles, California)

Northwestern students are confident that their school has a “sterling reputation among corporate recruiters.” Marketing, finance, and consulting recruiters from major firms are particularly well-represented, and the networking opportunities are “tremendous.”
 * 10)Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois)

Faculty
The Academy of Management Journal, in its most recent ranking (2000), ranked the faculty in the top two for research performance among business schools. The National Black MBA Association named the University of Michigan Business School the "Outstanding Educational Institution of the Year" in 2001. Hispanic Business magazine rated the University of Michigan Business School as one of the 10 best graduate schools in the nation for Hispanics.

Rankings Commentary
I'm curious as to why the rankings were moved to the discussion page? I read a lot of blather about NPOV. My take is that rankings by national publications -- however subjective the underlying methodolgy used to construct those rankings -- are the closest thing to objective that one will find. One might argue about the subjectivity of the adjectives and adverbs used in the article, while rankings have at least some objective legitimacy. Putting the rankings on the main page offers reasonably objective metrics for the quality of the school. While Wikipedia is not supposed to be an advertisement for a particular school, the university's public status makes in ripe for under-ranking. If rankings are included for other schools, I believe they should be included in this article as well. This isn't a trivial issue, it is actually a pretty serious econometric issue: many schools have a certain luster conveyed by "reputation", and their graduates benefit greatly -- in a dollars and cents sort of way -- thereby and reputation reportage reinforces reputation, however well or ill deserved. I believe that the playing field should be level for all schools: excise rankings for every school, or include rankings for every school. With respect, I'd be interested in "pushback" from the editor who moved the rankings. 66.65.76.15 01:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The way the rankings were listed previously was a major reason why this article was marked with a cleanup tag (which in my opinion is a major blemish on an article, especially if the tag stayed up for more than half a year). Even though rankings might appear to be objective, listing only the rankings that praise the school without listing some critism to counter the boosterism could bring a lot of complaints (which almost cost the UM article its featured status some time ago). If you have a better way of listing the rankings without having complaints with the likes of Tony Sideways and Mamawrites, go ahead. PentawingTalk 04:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * After looking over the previously listed rankings data, I came up with the following summary paragraph. However, I would like to see some criticism of the business school so that someone else does not decide to slap a cleanup or POV violation tag on this article.

 * The Ross School has highly ranked MBA and Executive Education programs. Publications such as US News and World Report, BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times have ranked both the school's undergraduate and professional programs highly, in many cases in the top ten in the U.S.

Category
This article is listed under a category, University of Michigan, that itself is a subcategory of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Therefore it seems there's no need for it to appear under the Ann Arbor cat as well; this makes the architecture of the Ann Arbor cat and its subcats confusing and redundant. I'm removing the Ann Arbor cat, but if anyone objects, feel free to comment or revert. Ropcat 21:20, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Wrong US News Ranking

Massive duplication
Can something be done to eliminate the massive duplication of alumni names that appear in BOTH this article AND List of University of Michigan business alumni? There isn't any good reason to have (exactly?) the same (lengthy) list appear in two different articles in Wikipedia. Your username goes here 19:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

The lists are actually fairly disjoint in that the B-school list is considerably more comprehensive. To that extent, if at all, the non-B-School list should be pruned. 66.65.129.119 00:45, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Addition to Billionaire list
More Indian-origin persons in Forbes list of richest Americans

New York, Sep 21 : Bharat Desai, founder of leading IT and ITeS firm Syntel, and his family have joined acoustics pioneer Amar Gopal Bose and Google founder-director Kavitark Ram Shriram as the only Indian origin persons to figure in Forbes' list of the 400 richest Americans. Desai and family have been ranked 286th with a fortune of $1.7 billion in the 2007 list released Thursday. However, both Bose and Shriram, who shared the 242nd post last year, went down the list and now share the 271st position though their respective personal fortunes went up from $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion. Born to an accountant in Kenya, Desai, now 54, moved to India at age 11. He passed out from the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, before doing his MBA from the University of Michigan. He founded Syntel in 1988 along with his wife Neerja.

Professors - CK Prahalad - can something be added that he essentially replaced Michael Porter as the go to Corporate Strategist with Core Competencies concept. Paul McCracken - worked as economic advisor for at least one President.

Alumni - although I don't really like him, Governer Snyder should be added. Also, I thought I read the founders of Groupon were some Ross alumni, tried to get a mascot started on campus in 90's. 12.165.172.4 (talk) 21:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Sean

A few suggested changes
Hello, I work in the communications & marketing office at the Ross School of Business.

Last year I did some work to clean up some clear factual errors (and broken links, etc.) in the Ross entry. However, there are still some areas where the entry is incomplete, outdated, or not-quite-right. But having digested the Wikipedia guidelines on conflicts of interest and academic boosterism, it was pretty clear I shouldn’t make any further changes myself.

So – and I hope this approach is OK – I thought I would propose the following changes here, and if others think they are reasonable, maybe someone could find the time to make them (or tell me it’s OK for me to do it)? Thanks in advance, Bob Needham

•	The info box lists a motto, “Leading in thought and action.” Although that hasn’t formally been eliminated, we’re not really using it any more. We suggest replacing it with our mission statement: “Mission: Developing leaders who make a positive difference in the world.”

•	Also in the info box, the current endowment is actually $385 million (not $540 million)

•	Also in the box, if “Academic staff” means faculty, a current number is 210 (151 full time plus 59 adjunct or visiting)

•	Also in the box, student numbers can be updated to 1,422 (undergraduate) and 1,873 (graduate)

•	Also in the box, alumni could be updated to “45,000+” or “about 46,000”

•	Under Facilities and institutes: The date of the announcement of the second Stephen Ross gift is wrong – it was September 2013 (not 2014). We propose an additional sentence explaining what the money will go toward: “The second gift is being used for facilities upgrades, including high-tech classrooms, a new career services space, and additional areas for practical research; as well as student scholarships.” (ref: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-04/stephen-ross-makes-200-million-gift-to-university-of-michigan)

•	Also under Facilities and institutes – Although we wouldn’t expect to list all the school’s institutes and centers (there are 17), one of the more prominent is missing. We’d suggest adding: “Center For Positive Organizations (http://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/) / Founded in 2002 as the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship, the center’s mission is ‘to inspire and enable leaders to build high-performing organizations that bring out the best in people.’ It conducts and disseminates research on topics such as positive leadership, meaning and purpose, ethics and virtues, and relationships and culture in an organizational setting. Starting in 2014, it sponsors an annual Positive Business Conference. (ref: http://www.freep.com/article/20140516/BUSINESS06/305160145/university-michigan-positive-conference) ”

•	The History section is clearly lacking (it really only covers 1990-2011). I will create a separate post proposing some updates for that section.

•	Under Current and former professors, it would be good to add Kim S. Cameron, who has a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_S._Cameron

•	Finally, the school’s URL will be changing as of Aug. 1. If it’s OK, I’ll go in and make that one change myself when the time comes.

Overprotected

"Overprotected" is a song by American singer Britney Spears from her third studio album, Britney (2001). It was written and produced by Max Martin and Rami. The song was released on December 10, 2001, by Jive Records as the second international single from Britney. "Overprotected" is a dance-pop song about a girl who is tired of being overprotected and just wants to be herself. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Its remixed R&B form, produced by Darkchild, was released as the third US single from Britney on April 2, 2002.

While it peaked only at number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100, "Overprotected" peaked at number 22 in Canada and reached the top five in Italy, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video, directed by Billie Woodruff, portrays Spears dancing inside an abandoned factory; the music video for The Darkchild Remix, directed by Chris Applebaum, portrays Spears dancing and having fun with her friends. Spears has performed "Overprotected" a number of times, including during the Dream Within a Dream Tour (2001–2002) and The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004). In 2003, the song received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Background
During the Oops!... I Did It Again Tour (2000), Spears revealed she felt inspired by hip hop artists such as Jay-Z and The Neptunes and wanted to create a record with a funkier sound. In February 2001, Spears signed a $7–8 million promotional deal with Pepsi, and released another book co-written with her mother, entitled A Mother's Gift. On the same month, Spears started to record material for her third studio album, with "Overprotected" being recorded at Maratone Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Additional recording was done in April 2001 at Maratone in Sweden, in which the song's vocals were completed. Background vocals were provided by Spears and Bosslady, with the track being mixed by Martin and Rami at Maratone Studios. Her third studio album, Britney, was released in November 2001. In an interview with the Daily Record, Spears concluded she can relate to "Overprotected" "on a personal basis, because I feel kind of overprotected. When I want to go out, everything has to be organized in advance. I think that other kids of my age can relate to it to a certain extent."

Composition
"Overprotected" is a dance-pop song that lasts for three minutes and 18 seconds. David Browne of Entertainment Weekly noticed Europop influences on the song, while other critics compared it to previous songs released by Spears. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, "Overprotected" is composed in the key of C minor and is set in time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 96 beats per minute. Spears vocal range spans from A♭ 3 to C 5.

Lyrically, the track is about a girl who is tired of being manipulated by people around her and does not need to be told what to do, which is perceived in lines such as "You're gonna have to see through my perspective/ I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am/ And I don't want to be so damn protected". Dana Alice Heller, author of Makeover television: realities remodelled (2007), said that, with "Overprotected", "Spears addresses the problem of being a teen star whose personal and professional are handled by others." She also compared "Overprotected" with the singer's first reality show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic (2005), saying that "Britney frames her makeover as a move toward to independence, a rebellion against overly controlling parents and their stand-ins."

Remixes
The song's main release in North America was a reworked R&B remix by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Jerkins said that the label "needed a remix that's crazy" and that the remix has "an old-school-type rhythm, which I think is kinda cool because it's an element [that Spears] never had, but I still gave it her edge. I was up all night rocking that joint. [It has the] same lyrics, I just reproduced the track." "The Darkchild Remix" was originally scheduled for release to radio stations in the United States in mid-March 2002; this date was pushed back and the song was released on April 1, 2002. The remix was heavily played in dance clubs, and Jerkins said he was not surprised with its popularity, stating "[Spears] reinvented herself. Everybody thought she was gonna come back with another 'Oops!... I Did It Again', but she went left and came with the 'I'm a Slave 4 U' joint, which is basically a club banger. You gotta big up people who reinvent themselves. I always said she was gonna be one of the people that's gonna be around for a minute, because I see that in her."

Finnish musician and record producer Jaakko Salovaara also created two remixes for the track, titled "JS16 Dub" and "JS16 Remix". The latter was included on the promotional soundtrack of Spears' film, Crossroads (2002).

Critical reception
Upon release, the track received generally positive reviews from music critics. Jocelyn Vena of MTV said that "with songs like 'Overprotected' and 'Let Me Be', Spears seemed to be letting out her adolescent angst", while Kyle Anderson of MTV Newsroom said, "the real first blush with emancipation from [the singer] teen pop past came with ['Overprotected']". While reviewing Spears' third studio album Britney (2001), Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said the track, along with "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" and "What It's Like to Be Me", "are pivotal moments on Britney Spears' third album, the record where she strives to deepen her persona (not the same thing as her character, of course), making it more adult while still recognizably Britney". Christopher Rosa, from Glamour, deemed it Spears' eight best song, and said that "feeling overly controlled or scrutinized is a consistent theme in Spears's discography, but this motif started with Overprotected", calling the song "introspection with a killer hook.

Critic Robert Christgau also considered "Overprotected" and "Cinderella" as the highlights of Britney, while saying, "hardly the first not-terribly-bright teenager to approach self-knowledge via the words of others". Nikki Tranker of PopMatters said the song "is an absolute belter reminiscent of Britney’s previous big-bang singles, 'Oops! I Did It Again' and 'You Drive Me Crazy' [sic]", while commenting that Spears "sings about ridding herself of the girlie chains around her, gripes about her need for space in the whirlwind that is her life, and lets us know she don’t need nobody telling her what to do". The staff from Entertainment Weekly placed it at number 24 on their ranking of Spears's songs and said that "there’s an eerie amount of foreshadowing for what was to come in her personal life. And Max Martin shows once again he had an unassailable gift for crafting that decade’s most indelible hooks". In 2003, the song received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Digital Spy's Alim Kheraj hailed it "an anthem that deals with the complexities of growing up and being held back by other people's perceptions [...] full of distinctive chord progressions and more hooks than it seems possible to include in one song".

Chart performance
"Overprotected" attained commercial success in Europe. In France, it peaked at number 15, and was later certified Gold by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP), for selling over 250,000 units of the single. In Sweden, the song reached number two, and was later certified Gold by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), for selling over 15,000 units.

"Overprotected" reached number one in Mexico and was the best-selling single of 2002 in that country, also reached the top five in Italy, Romania, and United Kingdom, while reaching the top ten in Belgium (Flanders), Finland, Ireland, and Norway. In the United States, on the week of May 4, 2002, "The Darkchild Remix" peaked at number 86 on Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed on the chart for five weeks. It also entered on the Pop Songs chart, where it peaked at number 37 on the week of May 25, 2002, before dropping the chart in the following chart issue. In Canada, the song peaked at number 22 on the Canadian Hot 100.

Original version
The music video for "Overprotected" was directed by Billie Woodruff and produced under Geneva Films, while choreographed by Brian Friedman. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar in 2011, Spears recalled the music video, saying, "I just think it says a lot. It was directed so well, it was really colorful and the dancing was amazing". It begins with Spears driving away from the paparazzi, with a part of the instrumental version of the song "Bombastic Love", featured on the album Britney, playing. She makes her way into an alleyway and decides to enter an abandoned factory, hoping her pursuers will be thrown off course. When she enters the building she begins to dance her way around the warehouse. Spears' dancers, having spotted her walking into the factory, follow her inside. They find Spears dancing around and joke about it, before heading into a heavy dance routine. Towards the end of the video, segments of Spears in a room with walls covered in pictures and articles about herself are also shown. These walls move in and out before the video ends, signifying that she is "overprotected". At the end of the video, Britney walks to a wall, and exits the building. The music video was the number-one video of MTV Mexico in the final countdown of 2002 "Los 100 más pedidos".

The Darkchild Remix
The music video for "The Darkchild Remix" was directed by Chris Applebaum and filmed in the first weekend of March 2002 in Los Angeles, California. It was produced under A Band Apart Productions, while the choreography for this version was also created by Brian Friedman. The full shooting took 23 hours, and Applebaum was said to be impressed with Spears' "stamina and patience through the marathon shoot, which wrapped 5 a.m." According to Joe D'Angelo of MTV News, "the clip furthers her 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' crusade to shirk her adolescent image, as she and five friends outsmart her bodyguard with the old 'you're wanted elsewhere' trick and sneak out of a hotel and into an underground dance club." It was released on March 26, 2002.

Spears directly referenced Janet Jackson's "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)" in the scenes on the elevator and when she and her dancers walk down the hotel lobby. Both videos also use the same hotel setting, filmed at Los Angeles' Millennium Biltmore Hotel.

The video opens with Spears and her friends in a hotel room, where a tabloid reporter on television criticizes her for the sexy, revealing outfits she is often seen wearing publicly. Spears and her friends express their disagreement with the report. Spears, determined to be self-sufficient and unaffected by media comments, then makes a phone call to her bodyguard, and using a cloth to disguise the sound of her voice, coaxes him to leave the area so that her group may sneak out of the hotel and enjoy the day. They run into an elevator and fool around briefly with the security cameras before going up to the main lobby. A strut down the lobby of the hotel and a short dance sequence follows. As they leave the hotel, they follow towards the dance club. However, before they arrive, they are caught in an alley by several paparazzi, and start to perform a dance routine in the middle of the rain. As they make their entrance, they are dripping wet, an image which makes for more sensationalist fodder for the tabloid reporter.

Live performances and usage in media
"Overprotected" was performed for the first time on 2001's Dream Within a Dream Tour. During the performance, Spears was dancing to the song surrounded by laser lights. The video backdrop showed images of a bald Spears, with her hair growing as the song went along. However, the backdrop was later removed for unknown reasons. After the announcement of the 2002 extension of the tour, some changes were made to the setlist, replacing the original mix of the song by "The Darkchild Remix". The remix was later performed on The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004), during the opening act, right after the performance of "Toxic". Spears' film, Crossroads (2002), features a performance of the song during the credits.

The song appears in the 2019 Max Martin jukebox musical & Juliet. The song appears in Act 1, where it is performed by Francois and Juliet.

John Early performs the song in his 2023 comedy special "Now More Than Ever".

Teaneck Public Schools

The Teaneck Public Schools is comprehensive community public school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade in Teaneck, Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

As of the 2019–20 school year, the district, comprised of seven schools, had an enrollment of 3,720 students and 347.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.7:1.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "GH", the third-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide, ostensibly to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J. However, because socioeconomic data is derived from the municipality as a whole and a significant proportion of Teaneck's more affluent families send their children to parochial or other private schools, the usefulness of District Factor Grouping in the Teaneck district's case is disputed.

Awards and recognition
The Teaneck Public Schools have been recognized by the New Jersey Department of Education as part of its Best practices program. The district was awarded in the 1997–98 school year for its Passport Portfolio Program, and in the 2000–01 school year for its Early Literacy Initiative.

History
Harvey B. Scribner, who later served as New York City School Chancellor, was hired in 1961 by the Teaneck Public Schools to serve as superintendent of the district. There he oversaw the adoption of mandatory busing in 1965 in which Teaneck voluntarily integrated its public schools. Despite angry phone calls from some parents and the occasional death threat, Teaneck's integration went smoothly and Scribner recalled that he was "literally crying" on the first day of school in 1965 when buses rolled into school without incident. Teaneck's 1965 busing plan was widely reported as the first district in the nation with a white majority to implement a voluntary school integration program.

A 1982 teachers strike that lasted for 19 days was settled after a judge threatened to jail striking teachers and pressured the board of education to negotiate an agreement.

Schools
Schools in the district,   with 2019–20 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics, are:

 * Elementary schools
 * Bryant School (322 students in pre-K and Kindergarten)
 * Built in 1927, the school is named for poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant.
 * School #6
 * David Deubel, principal
 * Hawthorne School (345 students in grades 1–4)
 * Built in 1925, the school is named for author Nathaniel Hawthorne.
 * School #5
 * Emilio Jennette, principal
 * Lowell School (336 students in grades 1–4)
 * Built in 1935, the school is named for author James Russell Lowell.
 * School #7

 * Whittier School (359 students in grades 1–4)
 * Built in 1923, the school is named for John Greenleaf Whittier.

 * Washington Irving School – Built in 1906. Original School #2. Named for author Washington Irving.
 * Longfellow Elementary School – Built in 1910. School #1. Named for poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Controversy
Teaneck has received attention in the media due to sexual crimes committed against minors by faculty members. Joseph White, former principal of Teaneck High School, pleaded guilty to official child endangerment in June 2006 and was sentenced to one year in prison. White had been charged in 2002 with fondling a 17-year-old student and was subsequently acquitted. James Darden, an award-winning former eighth grade teacher at Thomas Jefferson Middle School, was charged with sexual assault and misconduct in June 2007. He pleaded guilty in December 2007 to a charge of aggravated sexual assault and faces up to 8$1/2$ years in prison when sentenced on January 18, 2008.

Administration
Core members of the district's administration are:
 * Andre D. Spencer, superintendent
 * Haqquisha Q. Taylor, school business administrator and board secretary

Board of education
The district's board of education, comprised of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.

East Timor centavo coins

East Timor centavo coins were introduced in East Timor in 2003 for use alongside United States dollar banknotes and coins, which were introduced in 2000 to replace the Indonesian rupiah following the commencement of U.N. administration. One centavo is equal to one U.S. cent. Coins issued for general circulation are in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos and feature images of local plants and animals. In 2013 a 100 centavos coin was introduced followed by a 200 centavos coin in 2017. The higher value coins, equivalent to US$1 and US$2 respectively, were designed to reduce the expense of replacing low-denomination U.S. banknotes as they wear out. As of 2024, East Timor does not yet issue its own banknotes.

The centavo coins are minted in Lisbon by the Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda, the Portuguese national mint. Unlike coins issued for the Panamanian balboa or the Ecuadorian centavo, the East Timorese coins are not identical in size to their U.S. cent counterparts.

Black and white (newspaper)
I'm not sure we need an article on every high school newspaper. It has recieved recent awards, but the majority of the information on the page is listing the recent students. --Laura Scudder | Talk 00:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge into parent high school. -- Un  focused  02:51, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The parent high school article could do with some content, so I agree with FCYTravis: Merge the introduction into the high school article, however the management and staff lists can go. JeremyA 03:13, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: High schools are not inherently more notable than banks. Particular branches need to distinguish themselves to merit an article.  Therefore, no merge.  The paper is just a HS paper, and the article is misnamed.  Delete, therefore. Geogre 03:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge to school's page. I'm not sure the awards are notable.  It seems like every time I turn around I'm seeing yet another school paper that's gotten one of those, and I don't mean just in Wikipedia.  Xcali 04:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into parent high school. The National Scholastic Press Association Pacemaker Award  is a big deal and it is noteworthy that this high school's student newspaper has won it.  The NSPA has been giving these awards annually since 1927 as part of a national competition (in the US).  It's difficult to win and a notable achievement for its staff.  I'd like to see the content pared down (no need for the vanity section listing the current students on the staff) and merged in with the high school, which would bolster the school article's notability.Tobycat 05:04, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

John Duffey

John Humbird Duffey Jr. (March 4, 1934 – December 10, 1996) was a Washington D.C. based bluegrass musician.

Duffey was born in Washington, D.C., and lived nearly all his life in the Washington D.C. area. He graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in suburban Maryland. Duffey learned to play the mandolin, dobro, and guitar, in addition to his tenor singing voice. He founded two of the most influential groups in bluegrass, The Country Gentlemen and The Seldom Scene. His tastes and sources were eclectic, often raiding folk song books and Protestant hymnals for material. He embraced the music of Bob Dylan and his style of playing was rock and jazz-inflected. In the late 1950s and the 1960s, he also increasingly began working as a session musician to supplement his income.

The son of a singer at the Metropolitan Opera, Duffey's singing ranged from tenor to falsetto, and was in contrast to the voice of baritone singer Charlie Waller.

Duffey started playing guitar at age 17 after a neighbor convinced him to pick up the instrument. In 1957 he worked at radio station WFMD in Frederick, Maryland partnered with Charlie Waller to fill in for other musicians. That duo eventually became the Country Gentlemen. As a member of the Country Gentlemen, Duffey was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1996.

Two months after his induction to the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor, Duffey was hospitalized in Arlington, Virginia after complaining of chest pains. The next morning, he died after suffering a heart attack.

A biography, John Duffey's Bluegrass Life: Featuring the Country Gentlemen, Seldom Scene, and Washington, DC, by Stephen Moore and G. T. Keplinger, Foreword by Tom Gray, was published in 2019 (Booklocker).

Decade (Duran Duran album)

Decade is a greatest hits album by the English rock band Duran Duran, released on 15 November 1989.

The remix single "Burning the Ground" was released to radio to promote this album. It was created by producer John Jones by mixing snippets of the band's biggest hits from the previous decade into a new piece of music. However, the track was not included on the Decade album itself. The tracks "My Own Way" and "New Moon on Monday" were also not included, even though both were top 20 hits in the UK.

Decade's track listing included various hits from all of Duran Duran's albums and presented them in mixes that were popular and mainstream among the public. Hence, it includes the Nile Rodgers edit of "The Reflex" and the single edits of "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Notorious" and "Skin Trade", as well as the Shep Pettibone single mix of "I Don't Want Your Love". Oddly, there are many versions and single edits of the song "Rio"; the compilation uses the standard album version, and for "Save a Prayer" the UK single version.

 * Support - It turns out that the title of the AllMusic page for this album is Decade: Greatest Hits but in that same page's text it is merely Decade. That page title might be what prompted whoever named this WP article, but it is a mistake. All other sources that I can find merely use Decade. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:26, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per Goldmine Record Album Price Guide - Page 204 2017 and Chic magazine cite. Allmusic appears to be wrong. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:56, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per evidence named above. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 17:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per above but note of caution that album covers rather than catalogs, promotion, sources etc. sometimes don't contain the entire title :) —innotata 01:40, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

List of school districts in New Jersey

The following list of school districts in New Jersey distinguishes between regional, consolidated and countywide districts and those serving single municipalities. Districts are grouped by county.

In 2022, due to New Jersey law allowing for hyperlocal governance of education, the state had over 600 school districts, a high number in comparison to states which have county-based school districts. In 2022 the state passed a law encouraging merging of school districts.

There are some non-operating school districts, which are those districts that never operated any school facilities and where all students have attended school in other districts as part of sending/receiving relationships. 13 of those districts were abolished in 2009. Other districts remained in place after political resistance, based on a desire to avoid increased taxation. The state government instead allowed tax rates in the remaining districts to increase. 16 non-operating districts remain in existence.

Miguel Arteche

Miguel Salinas Arteche (4 June 1926 – 22 July 2012), best known as Miguel Arteche, the name he adopted after legally reversing his maternal and paternal surnames in 1972, was a Chilean poet and novelist. He was born in Nueva Imperial, Cautín, 9th Region, on June 4, 1926, but spent most of his adult life in Santiago, Chile working as an academic. He was also awarded government positions, both in Chile and abroad. His writings appeared first in the Anthology of the Generation of 1950, compiled by Enrique Lafourcade, a well-known Chilean writer.

Biography
He studied Law in the Universidad de Chile, but shortly dropped to study Literature at the Universidad de Madrid, Spain from 1951 to 1944. His work ranges from poetry to novels and short stories.

In 1947 he published his first book, Invitación al olvido. After publishing a number of poetry books, he published Cantata del desterrado in 1951 before departing to Europe. The experience of living in Spain was fundamental to his writing, approaching him to his family roots and the intellectual world of Europe. After some years he returned to Chile, where he continued his literary career. In 1976 he published one of his most celebrated books, Destierros y tinieblas.

In 1956, Chilean president Eduardo Frei Montalva nominated him to the Chilean Embassy in Madrid, where he remained until 1970, later being added to the Chilean Embassy in Honduras, where he worked until 1971, staying for an additional period as a Visiting Professor. After returning to Chile, he opposed the military government of Augusto Pinochet, which led to the marginalization of his work, which would prevent him from publishing in Chile until the return of democracy.

In 1996 he was awarded the Premio Nacional de Literatura, the greatest literary award in Chile.

Literary generation of 1950
Miguel Arteche is one of the authors of the so-called Generación literaria de 1950. Writers in this category were born between 1920 and 1934. This classification was proposed by author Enrique Lafourcade in 1954. Prominent writers of this generation were Miguel Arteche, Enrique Lafourcade, Pablo Neruda, Vicente Huidobro, Humberto Díaz Casanueva, Rosamel del Valle, Jorge Edwards, Claudio Giaconi, et al. These writers were influenced by authors such as Walt Whitman, William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Miguel Arteche also stated the Spanish Siglo de oro as one of his main influences. He taught his students the traditional art of metrical writing against the use of free verse.

Works
El agua (the water), from Destierros y Tinieblas (Exiles and Darkness), 1963, is one of his most renowned poems; he had it in display hand-carved in wood at the entrance of his studio. Translated by Walter Hilliger, one of his students from the 90s:

Poetry

 * La invitación al olvido, 1947
 * Oda fúnebre, 1948
 * Una nube, 1949
 * El sur dormido, 1950

Ichthyosaurus

Ichthyosaurus (derived from Greek ἰχθύς (ichthys) meaning 'fish' and σαῦρος (sauros) meaning 'lizard') is a genus of ichthyosaurs from the Early Jurassic (Hettangian - Pliensbachian ), with possible Late Triassic record, from Europe (Belgium, England, Germany, Switzerland, and Portugal ). It is among the best known ichthyosaur genera, as it is the type genus of the order Ichthyosauria.

History of discovery
Ichthyosaurus was the first complete fossil to be discovered in the early 19th century by Mary Anning in England; the holotype of I. communis, no coll. number given, was a fairly complete specimen discovered by Mary and Joseph Anning around 1814 in Lyme Regis but was reported as lost by McGowan (1974) in his review of the latipinnate ichthyosaurs of England. The name Ichthyosaurus was first used by Charles König in 1818, but it was not used in a formal scientific description, with the earliest described ichthyosaur being Proteosaurus by James Everard Home in 1819 for a skeleton which is now attributed to Temnodontosaurus platyodon. Henry De la Beche and William Conybeare in 1821 considered Ichthyosaurus to have taxonomic priority over Proteosaurus and named the species I. communis based on BMNH 2149 (now NHMUK PV R1158), a now partially lost specimen now assigned to Temnodontosaurus that was discovered and collected between 1811 and 1812. One specimen that Home had assigned to Proteosaurus was the first complete ichthyosaur skeleton known, but it was destroyed in WW2. Two casts were rediscovered in 2022, showing that the specimen belonged to Ichthyosaurus, but of uncertain species. During the 19th century, almost all fossil ichthyosaurs were attributed to Ichthyosaurus, resulting in the genus having over 50 species by 1900. These species were subsequently moved to separate genera or synonymised with other species.

I. anningae, described in 2015 from a fossil found in the early 1980s in Dorset, England, was named after Anning. The fossil was acquired by Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, where it was misidentified as a plaster cast. In 2008, Dean Lomax, from the University of Manchester, recognised it as genuine and worked with Judy Massare, of the State University of New York, to establish it as a new species.

Description
Ichthyosaurus was smaller than most of its relatives, with the largest specimen of I. somersetensis measuring up to 3 - 3.3 m in length. In comparison, other species were much smaller, with the I. communis reaching up to 2 m in length, I. larkini probably up to 2.5 m, I. anningae up to 1.8 m, I. breviceps up to 1.9 m, and I. conybeari up to 1.5 m. Many Ichthyosaurus fossils are well-preserved and fully articulated. Some fossils still had baby specimens inside them, indicating that Ichthyosaurus was viviparous. Similar finds in the related Stenopterygius also show this. Jurassic ichthyosaurs had a fleshy dorsal fin on their back as well as a large caudal fin. Icthyosaurus is distinguished from other ichthyosaurs by having a wide forefin with 5 or more digits with an anterior digital bifurcation, but the morphology of the humerus and coracoids are also distinct from that of other Lower Jurassic ichthyosaurs, as is the arrangement of the dermal bones, though the suture lines used to diagnose these are not always visible.

Classification
This cladogram below follows the topology from a 2010 analysis by Patrick S. Druckenmiller and Erin E. Maxwell.

Palaeobiology
Ichthyosaurus is suggested to have been a ram feeder, with the morphology of its hyobranchial apparatus suggesting that it was incapable of suction feeding, using the jaws and teeth alone to capture prey. Ichthyosaurus is thought to have been a pursuit predator that was capable of sustained swift swimming via thunniform locomotion. Stomach contents of Ichthyosaurus anningae indicate that it fed on cephalopods (likely belemnites) and fish. Like other ichthyosaurs, it likely relied on its sense of sight, possibly in combination with olfaction.

It was initially believed that Ichthyosaurus laid eggs on land, but fossil evidence shows that in fact the females gave birth to live young. As such, they were well-adapted to life as fully pelagic organisms (i.e. they never came onto land). The babies were born tail first to prevent them from drowning in the water.

Cultural significance
Joseph Victor von Scheffels poem Der Ichthyosaurus describes its extinction in humouristic verses. A monument on Hohentwiel cites it as well. The poem has been translated among others by Charles Godfrey Leland Some of the stanzas:
