As hard as it is to imagine what philosophy at Berkeley will be like without him, it is even harder to imagine what it would have been.

<mask> (born <mask>; July 26, 1922 – December 15, 2010) was an American actor, film director, producer and screenwriter. <mask> began his career in the 1940s as an actor, but he soon began writing screenplays and radio scripts before turning to producing and directing in television and films. His best-known films include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, 10, Victor/Victoria, and the hugely successful Pink Panther film series with British actor Peter Sellers. Often thought of as primarily a director of comedies, he also directed several drama, musical, and detective films. Late in his career, he took up writing, producing and directing for theater. In 2004, he received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of his writing, directing and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen. Early life
Born <mask> July 22, 1922, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he was the son of Donald and Lillian (Grommett) Crump (1897–1992).His father reportedly left the family before he was born. His mother married again, to <mask>, who became his stepfather. Mr. McEdwards was the son of J. Gordon <mask>, a director of silent movies, and in 1925, he moved the family to Los Angeles and became a film production manager. In an interview with The Village Voice in 1971, <mask> said that he had "always felt alienated, estranged from my own father, Jack McEdwards". After graduating from Beverly Hills High School in the class of Winter 1941, <mask> began taking jobs as an actor during World War II. <mask> describes this

Career
<mask>' debut as a director came in 1952 on the television program Four Star Playhouse. In the 1954–1955 television season, <mask> joined with Richard Quine to create Mickey Rooney's first television series, The Mickey Rooney Show: Hey, Mulligan. <mask>'s hard-boiled private detective scripts for Richard Diamond, Private Detective became NBC's answer to Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, reflecting <mask>'s unique humor. <mask> also created, wrote, and directed the 1958-61 TV detective series Peter Gunn, which starred Craig Stevens, with music by Henry Mancini.The following year, <mask> produced Mr. Lucky, an adventure series on CBS starring John Vivyan and Ross Martin. Mancini's association with <mask> continued in his film work, significantly contributing to their success. <mask>'s most popular films were comedies, the melodrama Days of Wine and Roses being a notable exception. His most dynamic and successful collaboration was with Peter Sellers in six of the movies in the Pink Panther series. <mask> later directed the comedy film 10 with Dudley Moore and Bo Derek.

 was <mask>' first big-budget movie as a director. The film, which starred Tony Curtis and Cary Grant and was produced by Grant's own production company, Granart Company, became the "greatest box-office success of the decade for Universal [Studios]" and made <mask> a recognized director.Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Breakfast at Tiffany's, based on the novel by Truman Capote, is credited with establishing him as a "cult figure" with many critics. Andrew Sarris called it the "directorial surprise of 1961", and it became a "romantic touchstone" for college students in the early 1960s. Days of Wine and Roses (1962)
Days of Wine And Roses, a dark psychological film about the effects of alcoholism on a previously happy marriage, starred Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. It has been described as "perhaps the most unsparing tract against drink that Hollywood has yet produced, more pessimistic than Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend". The film gave another major boost to <mask>'s reputation as an important director. Darling Lili (1970)
Darling Lili star Julie Andrews married <mask> in 1969. Whilst some critics, such as George Morris, thought that the film was a major picture ("it synthesizes every major <mask> theme: the disappearance of gallantry and honor, the tension between appearances and reality, and the emotional, spiritual, moral, and psychological disorder" in such a world, not all agreed.However, <mask> used complex cinematography techniques, including long-shot zooms, tracking, and focus distortion, to great

 effect. "), but the film failed badly with most critics and at the box office. Despite a cost of $17 million to make, it was seen by few cinema-goers, and the few who did watch were unimpressed. It brought Paramount Pictures to "the verge of financial collapse", and became an example of "self-indulgent extravagance" in filmmaking "that was ruining Hollywood". Pink Panther film series
<mask> also directed most of the comedy film series The Pink Panther, the majority of installments starring Peter Sellers as the inept Inspector Clouseau. The relationship between the director and the lead actor was considered a fruitful yet complicated one with many disagreements during production. At various times in their film relationship, "he more than once swore off Sellers" as too hard to direct.However, in his later years, he admitted that working with Sellers was often irresistible:
We clicked on comedy and we were lucky we found each other because we both had so much respect for it. We also had an ability to come up with funny things and great situations that had to be explored. But in that exploration there would often times be disagreement. But I couldn't resist those moments when we gelled. And if you ask me who contributed most to those things, it couldn't have happened unless both of us were involved, even though it wasn't always happy. Five of those films involved <mask> and Sellers in original material; those films being The Pink Panther (1963), A Shot in the Dark (1964), The Return of the Pink Panther (1975),

 The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976), and Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978). (1968's Inspector Clouseau, the third film in the series, was made without the involvement of <mask> or Sellers.)The films were all highly profitable: The Return of the Pink Panther, for example, cost just $2.5 million to make but grossed $100 million, while The Pink Panther Strikes Again did even better. After Sellers's death in 1980, <mask> directed three further Pink Panther films. Trail of the Pink Panther (1982) consisted of unused material of Sellers from The Pink Panther Strikes Again as well as previously seen material from the earlier films. Curse of the Pink Panther (1983) and Son of the Pink Panther (1993) were further attempts by <mask> to continue the series without Sellers but both films were critical and financial disappointments. <mask> eventually retired from film making two years after the release of Son of the Pink Panther. In addition to the Pink Panther films, <mask> directed Sellers in the comedy film The Party. Awards

 stepson of a studio production manager and stepgrandson of a silent-film director, <mask> had watched the films of the great silent-era comedians, including Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Laurel and Hardy. He and Sellers appreciated and understood the comedy styles in silent films and tried to recreate them in their work together. After their immense success with the first two Pink Panther films, The Pink Panther (1963) and A Shot in the Dark (1964), which adapted many silent-film aspects, including slapstick, they attempted to go even further in The Party (1968). The film has always had a cult following, and some critics and fans have considered it a "masterpiece in this vein" of silent comedy, though it did include minimal dialogue. Personal life

<mask> was greatly admired, and criticized, as a filmmaker. His critics are alluded to by American film author George Morris:
It has been difficult for many critics to accept <mask> as anything more than a popular entertainer. <mask>' detractors acknowledge his formal skill, but deplore the absence of profundity in his movies. <mask>' movies are slick and glossy, but their shiny surfaces reflect all too accurately the disposable values of contemporary life. Others, however, recognized him more for his significant achievements at different periods of his career.British film critic Peter Lloyd, for example, described <mask>, in 1971, as "the finest director working in the American commercial cinema at the present time". <mask>' biographers, William Luhr and Peter Lehman, in an interview in 1974, called him "the finest American director working at this time". They refer especially to the Pink Panther’s Closeau, developed with the comedic skills of Peter Sellers as a character "perfectly consistent" with his "absurdist view of the world, because he has no faith in anything and constantly adapts". Critic Stuart Byron calls his first two Pink Panther films "two of the best comedies an American has ever made". Polls taken at the time showed that his name, as a

<mask> (17 September 1925 – 27 August 1991) was a South African ballet dancer, choreographer, teacher, and company director. During his thirty-year association with dance companies in Cape Town, he had "a profound effect on ballet in South Africa. He is internationally recognised as a significant figure in the world of dance. Early life and training
Born in Cape Town, the capital city of the Cape Province, near the southern tip of South Africa,
<mask> did not begin his dance training until the age of eighteen, quite late for a dancer with professional aspirations. He trained under Cecily Robinson and Dulcie Howes at the University of Cape Town Ballet School in the early 1940s and soon began performing in the Cape Town Ballet Club, of which Howes was the director and one of the principal choreographers. He appeared to notable effect in her ballets Pliaska (1944), set to music of Liadov, and Fête Galante (1945), to music by Prokofiev. He also danced in early works by the young John Cranko, including The Soldier's Tale (1944), set to the Stravinsky score, and Tritsch-Tratsch (1945), a jolly work set to the high-spirited polka of the same name by Johann Strauss II.In performances of these works <mask>'s particular talent was recognised by Howes, who added a special solo for him to her ballet entitled Suite (1936), set to music by Bach, and who recommended him for a bursary for study abroad. Consequently, <mask> moved to London in 1947, when he was 22, and continued his studies at the Sadler's Wells Ballet School. There, under the strong supervision of Ninette de

 Valois and the administration of Arnold Haskell, he flourished, becoming proficient in classical ballet technique in remarkably short order. Career in Europe
Soon after beginning his studies in London, <mask> was invited to join the Sadler's Wells Theater Ballet, where he was promoted to principal dancer in 1948. He enjoyed quick recognition by both fans and the press, winning praise particularly for his performances as Pierrot in Fokine's merry romp Le Carnaval and in de Valois's gloomy and ghostly depiction of The Haunted Ballroom. He transferred to the Sadler's Wells Ballet at Covent Garden in 1955, but he left the company (renamed the Royal Ballet) in 1956 to dance with Ballet Rambert, where he appeared in such classic works as Giselle, Coppélia, and Swan Lake. During the first six months of 1957, he took leave from the stage to teach ballet technique at Kurt Jooss's Folkwang Schule in Essen, Germany, after which he returned to Britain and resumed his performing career, appearing with notable success at the Edinburgh Festival in 1958.During his twelve years dancing in Great Britain, he performed in numerous new works choreographed by de Valois, Cranko, Frederick Ashton, Andrée Howard, Walter Gore, Kenneth MacMillan, Alfred Rodrigues, and others.

<mask> had returned to South Africa several times over the years to stage works for the University of Cape Town Ballet. On his first visit, in 1952, he mounted Ashton's Les Rendezvous, Cranko's Sea Change, and a version of the final act of The Nutcracker, set in the Kingdom of the Sweets. In 1957, he staged Ashton's Les Patineurs and Cranko's Beauty and the Beast, in which he partnered Patricia Miller, another South African who had trained and danced in London.He also produced his own version of The Firebird, set to the Stravinsky score. For the Union Festival in May 1960 he staged two one-act works by South African choreographers: Blood Wedding by Rodrigues and Pineapple Poll by Cranko. In 1961, he mounted a full, three-act version of Sylvia, to the score by Delibes, a spectacular work that was later, in 1963, produced in Johannesburg. In 1963, the

When UCT Ballet became a full-time, professional company in 1965, it was renamed the Cape Performing Arts Board Ballet (CAPAB Ballet). <mask> continued as ballet master of CAPAB Ballet (since renamed the Cape Town City Ballet) and, upon the retirement of Dulcie Howes in 1969, became the artistic director in 1970.Among the original works he created for the company are The Snow Queen (1961), to music by Tchaikovsky, A Midsummer Night's Dream (1970), to music by Handel, and Variations for Men (1983), to music by Khachaturian. Notable among the ballets that <mask> mounted for CAPAB Ballet are three works on South African themes: Le Cirque (1972), The Rain Queen (1973), and Kami (1976). Both Le Cirque, set to music by Bach, and Kami, based on a play by C. Louis Leipoldt, Die Laaste Aand (The Last Evening), and set to music by Bizet and Michael Tuffin, deal with the government policy of apartheid (literally, "apart-hood"), the major social issue in twentieth-century South Africa. Le Cirque was a dramatic attack on government repression; Kami (Sanskrit, "of fulfilled desires") was a grim tale of interracial marriage and the mysterious death of a government official.

 choreographer Frank Staff, was set to a commissioned score by Graham Newcater and had décor and costumes by Raimond Schoop. Telling the legend of Modjadji, the hereditary queen of the Lobedu people who was thought to have the power to bring rain to a drought-stricken land, it was planned as the first full-length ballet with a scenario derived from an indigenous South African legend. <mask> dedicated the ballet to the memory of Staff, a revered and renowned South African artist.Besides these original works, <mask> enriched the company repertory with new productions of classic ballets, including Giselle, Le Corsaire, Coppélia, and Swan Lake. Not only an accomplished choreographer and a visionary company director, he was a superb teacher of classical technique, mime, and stagecraft, raising the levels of performance and training in the company to a significant degree. In 1974, upon the retirement of Dulcie Howes, he was appointed principal of the UCT Ballet School. He also served as professor of ballet until 1986 and as director of the company until his retirement in 1990. Legacy
The charity Dance for All, originally called Ballet for All, was the brainchild of <mask>. It was set up to bring dance to underprivileged children living in the non-white townships on the borders of Cape Town. The David Poole Trust Fund still supports extensive educational development and dance programs in disadvantaged areas of the city.References

Antonio Junius "<mask>" <mask> (October 25, 1882 – April 20, 1921) was an American pianist, singer, and composer. Early life
<mask> was born to a poor African American family in Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana on October 25, 1882. While some sources claim birth dates back to 1876, and a June 5 date, this was likely an error made by his sister Luvina in a later interview, when she appears to have quoted their sister Ida's birth information. <mask> did not appear in the 1880 Federal census unlike his older sisters. He was born a twin, along with <mask>, who died in New Orleans on January 5, 1884, at fourteen months of age, further reinforcing the October 1882 birth date as correct. The 1900 Federal census further reinforces the year and month of birth as October 1882, and his 1918 draft record shows a birth date of October 25, although the year reads 1884. His parents were freed slaves.<mask> was epileptic from birth. <mask> showed musical talents at a young age. At about the age of 10 he reportedly constructed a type of crude but working and properly tuned harpsichord out of junk in his back yard, since his family lacked the money to buy or rent a piano. On this contraption young <mask> was able to reproduce hymns he heard in church; news of this accomplishment soon spread around the neighborhood and he was offered use of neighbors' pianos and reed organs to practice on. <mask> got his first musical job at age 13, when he began playing piano during off hours at a Tonk run by bandleader Adam Olivier. Career

<mask> became the most popular and sought after entertainer in Storyville. He was said to be able to remember and play any tune he had heard once, and was hardly ever stumped by obscure requests.His repertory included ragtime, cakewalks (one of his show stopping tricks was to dance a high kicking cakewalk while playing the piano), popular songs of the day from the United States and various nations of Europe and Latin America, blues, and light classics. He was also

 "openly, almost defiantly homosexual." After hours, he would go with friends to The Frenchman's saloon, which catered to musicians and cross-dressers. His singing voice was also exceptional, and he was said to be able to sing operatic parts from baritone to soprano range. Fellow musicians and singers were universal in their praise of <mask>, most calling him "the greatest", and even the far-from-modest Jelly Roll Morton ranked <mask> as the only musician better than Morton himself. Morton met <mask> in 1906. <mask> became a mentor to Morton.<mask> also wrote many original tunes, a number of which he sold rights to for a few dollars or were simply stolen from him; some of the old time New Orleans musicians said that some well known Tin Pan Alley pop tunes of the era were actually written by <mask>. Clarence Williams noted "He was great because he was original in all his improvisations... We all copied him." More than <mask>'s music was copied: he was always well dressed. <mask> dressed himself with a pearl gray derby, checkered vest, ascot tie with a diamond stickpin, with sleeve garters on his arms to hold up his cuffs as he played. This became a standard outfit for ragtime and barrelhouse pianists; as one commented "If you can't play like <mask>, at least you can look like him". Later career and death
<mask> moved to Chicago hoping to have more of an influence on his career. He was also looking for more freedom in his personal life, since being gay was difficult in New Orleans.He lived in an apartment on Wabash Avenue with several members of his family and later they all moved to South State Street. One of the few tunes published with <mask>'s name on it, "Pretty Baby" came out in 1916, although he was remembered performing the song before he left New Orleans and may have written it in 1911. The original lyrics of "Pretty Baby" were said to refer to his male lover of the time. The song inspired the 1978 eponymous film by Louis Malle. <mask> was resident performer

 at the De Luxe and Pekin Cafes in Chicago, although in his later years his voice and dexterity were impaired by disease. Although it has been cited by some as  syphilis, the diagnosis at the time of his death was the more likely cirrhosis of the liver which had been progressing for years, in addition to chronic epilepsy. His friends knew that his health was suffering and they held a benefit for him on February 17, 1921, calling it the "All Star <mask> Jackson Testimonial" and raising $325 for <mask>.He died in Chicago on April 20, 1921. <mask>'s piano rolls can still be heard today and portions of his style are no doubt found in the recordings of younger musicians he influenced, like Jelly Roll Morton, Clarence Williams, and Steve Lewis. In 2011 the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame inducted <mask> into the hall. <mask> was honored for his musical contributions and for living "as an openly gay man when that was rare". Fictional portrayals
The play Don't You Leave Me Here by Clare Brown, which premiered at West Yorkshire Playhouse in September 2008, deals with his relationship with Jelly Roll Morton. <mask> appears as a minor character in David Fulmer's Storyville novel Chasing the Devil's Tail. References

<mask>  (; born August 7, 1942) is a Malaysian-Australian economist, who is currently Special Chair Professor of Economics at Fudan University, Shanghai, and a Distinguished Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. He has published in a variety of academic disciplines and is best known for his work in welfare economics. Life and work
<mask> was born during WW2, in Japanese-occupied Malaya. While in high school, he was drawn to studying economics because of his ambition to "establish communism in an independent Malaysia"; the Cultural Revolution in China and events in the Soviet Union later led <mask> to change his mind about the viability of communism. <mask> graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from Nanyang University in 1966 and later a Ph.D. from the University of Sydney in 1971. During his studies at Nanyang University, amid the unrest of demonstrations and strikes, <mask> came close to being arrested or expelled several times. During the 1980s, working as a columnist, <mask> wrote in support of Deng Xiaoping's Chinese economic reforms.<mask> has been a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia since 1981. He held a chair as professor of economics at Monash University between 1985 and 2012 and is now an emeritus professor. Between 2013 and 2019, <mask> held the Winsemius chair at the Department of Economics at Nanyang Technological University. In 2018, <mask> delivered the inaugural Atkinson Memorial lecture at the University of Oxford, dedicated to the memory of Sir Tony Atkinson. Since July 2019, <mask> holds the position of Special Chair Professor at the School of Economics at Fudan University, Shanghai. He is also a columnist for the Chinese business news NetEase Finance online portal. Research

 hundred refereed papers in economics and papers on biology, mathematics, philosophy, cosmology, psychology, and sociology.He proposed welfare biology as an academic discipline, stating that this has been his more underestimated contribution. He published his first academic paper in the Journal of Political Economy, one of the top five economics journals, while he was still an undergraduate student. Economics
<mask> is renowned for his work in welfare economics and a majority of his academic papers are in this area. He wrote his first book on the topic in 1979, Welfare Economics: Introduction and Development of Basic Concepts. Within welfare economics, he is particularly known for his work on the theory of the third best, social choice theory and happiness economics. In many publications, he defends a view of utility as being both cardinally measurable and interpersonally comparable. <mask> coined the term "mesoeconomics" and helped establish the field as a simplified, tractable general-equilibrium analysis with both micro and macro elements.As a method, it is used to study the implications of imperfect competition on the macroeconomy. It has been argued that mesoeconomics "typically yields conclusions that are consistently more closely aligned with empirical evidence than any of the competing macroeconomic models." <mask> contributed to the development of the new field of inframarginal economics, which "provides an analytical framework [...] to reconcile the focus of neoclassical economics on distribution with the preoccupations of classical economists [...] regarding the division of labour." He collaborated with Xiaokai Yang on this topic and in 1993 they published the joint book Specialization and Economic Organization: A New Classical Microeconomic Framework, which was said to have "credibly  challenged

 Neoclassical  Economics". Moral philosophy
In moral philosophy, <mask> advocates for the consequentialist position of hedonistic utilitarianism. He has defended this view in various academic papers, some of which were jointly written with the utilitarian moral philosopher Peter Singer. He also argues for this position in his 2000 book Efficiency, Equality, and Public Policy.Thanks to his early work on animal welfare, global catastrophic risks and the measurement of wellbeing, he is credited with originating many ideas that would later be incorporated into the philosophy of effective altruism. In a 2020 paper, <mask> analyses the implications of the economic theory of the second best for effective altruism, arguing that we live in a "third best" world where informational and administrative constraints prevent us from realising the second best outcomes. Awards and honours
<mask> has received a number of awards in recognition of his work. In 2007, he was made a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Society of Australia, the highest award that the Society bestows. In the tribute associated with the award, he was described as "one of Australia's most important and best internationally known economists." According to Economics Nobel Laureate Kenneth Arrow, <mask> is "one of the leading economic theorists of his generation" and Nobel Laureate James Buchanan credited him to have "made major contributions in theoretical Welfare Economics." After <mask>'s retirement from Monash University, he was recognised as an "honorary and adjunct appointment" by the Department of Economics.Given <mask>'s interest in global priorities research, he is on the advisory board of the Global Priorities Institute at the University of Oxford. Politics
<mask> has stated that "trying to avoid excessive inequality [is] a very important issue, and

 likely the third most important public issue after environmental protections and peacekeeping". He is also a proponent of generous immigration policies, stating that "immigrants bring in factors complementary to the local ones and make the economy more vibrant". In 2020, <mask> wrote a column which suggested that allowing polyandry could be a way for China to reduce problems arising from the male-skewed gender ratio in the country. <mask> also stated his intention to write a follow-up column discussing the pros and cons of legalizing prostitution. The column went viral and attracted heavy criticism online; many critics said that <mask>'s arguments were misogynistic and offensive, while others objected to polyandry as contrary to traditional marriage. Philanthropy
In 2015, <mask> offered to match all donations to up to $25,000 to the charity organization Animal Ethics, a nonprofit organization aiming to promote animal ethics and to provide information and resources for animal advocates.At the Nanyang Technological University Chinese Heritage Centre's Mid-Autumn Festival charity auction in 2016, <mask> and his wife donated , which went towards the purchase of a painting by Master Yang Bailiang, a Chinese artist, which <mask> donated to the centre and is now on permanent display.

 1970s & 1980s: From advertising to film production
<mask> started producing films in the 1970s, after leaving his job in advertising, with director Dick Richards. They had worked together on the films The Culpepper Cattle Company; Farewell, My Lovely; and March or Die. <mask> then worked with Paul Schrader on two films, American Gigolo and Cat People, which began to give him notice in Hollywood. During the 1980s and 1990s, he was a co-producer with Don Simpson of a string of highly successful Hollywood films for Paramount Pictures.He first met Simpson at a screening of 1973's The Harder They Come at Warner Brothers. The two worked together and created <mask>'s first big hit, 1983's Flashdance, which brought in US$95 million. He had a number of other hits during that time period, including the Beverly Hills Cop films, Top Gun, and Days of Thunder. Top Gun marked his first collaboration with English director Tony Scott who directed six films for <mask>. The first Beverly Hills Cop movie, which was supposed to star Sylvester Stallone launched Eddie Murphy's career and became Paramount's highest grossing winter release in the company's history in just five days. On August 9, 1983, both <mask> and Simpson had struck a three-year agreement with Paramount Pictures to produce theatrical and television projects, after years of working as a line producer, through his new Simpson/Bruckheimer Productions company. While working with Simpson, <mask> became known as "Mr. Outside" because of his experience with film-making, while Simpson became known as "Mr.Inside" because of his film industry contacts. The Rock was the last film in which <mask> collaborated with Simpson. After Simpson's death in 1996, <mask> stipulated that The Rock be dedicated to the memory of Simpson. 1990s: Big-budget films

In 1990, <mask> and Simpson struck a $500 million deal with Paramount to produce five movies of their entire choice. However, his 1990 production Days of Thunder starring Tom

High-profit productions

The movie Top Gun was produced in collaboration with the Pentagon to rebrand the US Navy's image post-Vietnam war, and attract new Navy recruits. Top Gun was the first full-blown collaboration between Hollywood and the US Navy. The model developed by <mask> around the production of Top Gun launched a new trend of war movies in the nineties and onward. In July 2003, <mask> was honored by Variety as the first producer in Hollywood history to produce the top two highest-grossing films of a single weekend, the buddy-cop Bad Boys II and the Disney theme-park spin-off, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. According to Variety, the "Bruckheimer touch" is characterized by a "consistently edgy, high-octane visual dynamic and equally distinctive storytelling driven by the triumphalism so popular with Madison Avenue". The Pirates of the Caribbean film series, produced through Walt Disney Pictures, was enormously profitable, and demonstrated <mask>'s ability to create lucrative projects. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the first film in the franchise, was released on July 9, 2003.A popular box office hit, it was well received by critics and filmgoers alike. After the unexpected success of the first film, Walt Disney Pictures revealed that a trilogy was in the works. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was released on July 7, 2006. The sequel proved to be very successful, breaking records worldwide the day of its premiere. In the end it acquired a total of $1,066,179,725 at the worldwide box office, becoming the third and fastest film to reach this amount. The third film in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, was released worldwide on May 25, 2007. Two more films, Pirates of the Caribbean:

On December 30, 2008, <mask> announced his intention to transfer from Miami; it is believed that he was considering the University of Florida, the University of Tennessee, and Louisiana State University. In response, Miami stipulated that he could not transfer to any school in Florida, the ACC, or the SEC. <mask> appealed to the school's athletic appeals committee, and after much negative publicity, Miami lifted part of the transfer limitations to allow him to transfer to any school in the SEC, except the University of Florida, the University of Tennessee, and Louisiana State University.
