5.Celebrated the 10th anniversary of TEAM Punta Gorda, an organization born out of the need for post-hurricane recovery which now utilized 500 volunteers in 2014 for community development projects.
Top five goals:
1.Build a community garden in the Punta Gorda history Park
2.Develop a master plan for a Bicycle Friendly Community as part of a health and wellness initiative
3.Develop a harbor conservation project in partnership with the conservation organizations in town in town
4. Automate our popular and growing free loaner bicycle loaner program which served 5,000 riders in 2014.
5. Develop a collaborative arts initiative with the arts non-profits in the community.
For TEAM Punta Gorda to continue its tradition of stewardship, the following are essential components:
Develop volunteer resources at all levels: Board, Leadership Team, Committee Chairs, Committee members, and general volunteers. Approximately $1,000 is needed annually to support volunteer development.
Develop a succession plan to continue the transition to a sustainable community development non-profit.
Generate over $100,000 in funding to complete community gardens, landscape revitalization, waterfront, and bicycle-friendly community programs that support our mission.
Generate over $3,000 in annual funding to support advocacy and community development activities.
Generate over $12,000 in annual funding to support TEAM Punta Gorda's organizational infrastructure needs.
Fulfillment of these needs will significantly assist TEAM Punta Gorda in preserving the historic tradition of providing public spaces for our community and retaining the unique character of the community.
TEAM Punta Gorda was founded in November, 2004 with the goal of rebuilding Punta Gorda following the devastation of hurricane Charley. Team quickly emerged as a grassroots volunteer organization of more than 2,000 citizens, 350 financial contributors, and 200 active volunteers. The group raised $200,000 and hired world renowned urban planner Jaime Correa who worked with Team volunteers to conduct public workshops to gather grass roots input on rebuilding our community. The outcome was the Citizens' Master Plan 2005, a visionary document which continues to inspire the redevelopment of Greater Punta Gorda. In October, 2005 TEAM incorporated as a nonprofit organization and is recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501-C-3 tax exempt entity.
Once the Citizens' Master Plan was completed and gifted to Punta Gorda and Charlotte County governments, TEAM Punta Gorda began the process of implementing the plan. A major emphasis was to build a collaborative relationship with City and County governments through volunteer citizen assistance and support in rebuilding our community. One major area of focus was to ensure that the auditorium destroyed by the hurricane would be rebuilt as an impressive gateway to the City. The Charlotte Harbor Conference and Event Center stands as a proud tribute to that vision.
Today TEAM is guided by an active Board of Directors with the support of the Operating Committee. TEAM continues to be a unique and successful organization whose mission is to work with our partners in city and county government to move forward with implementing the Citizens' Master Plan 2005.
It is important to understand that TEAM Punta Gorda was formed as a non-profit organization after Hurricane Charley devastated Punta Gorda in August 2004 to serve as a collaborative resource uniting our citizens in accelerating revitalization to achieve the potential of our unique waterfront community. Our citizens responded and raised over $250,000 in eight weeks to pay for the services of a highly renowned urban planner and his staff to help us determine what this community would become when we were back on our feet, better than we had it before.
From this tragedy came the creation of a Citizens Master Plan 2005 to guide the rebuilding and revitalization of the city of Punta Gorda. Many accomplishments from working together with the city of Punta Gorda and Charlotte County have been made since then. We have worked effectively in partnering with governmental entities, federal, state, county, and city to set direction, support and oversee a wide range of collaborations in the Charlotte County area by volunteering support and time. The speed of recovery exceeded all expectations. FEMA now cites TEAM Punta Gorda as a role model in citizen involvement in disaster recovery.
While we remain an all-volunteer, grass-roots, citizen's organization, we are now looking forward to implementing our future projects that will enhance our city and county, such as Community Gardens, Beautification of Veteran's Park, Maritime Development of the Waterfront and Bicycle Loaner Programs. These projects will support today's TEAM Punta Gorda mission, to help make Greater Punta Gorda a better place tom live, work and play. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization we are completely dependent on donations and grants to fund these and other programs.
Ten years after the devastation of Punta Gorda, TEAM is still here, working harder than ever to fulfill its mission of helping make the greater Punta Gorda area a better place to live, work and play. The focus has shifted from disaster recovery to community development, but the TEAM Punta Gorda tradition of community involvement and collaboration is still fundamental to our approach. In addition to great projects our work behind the scenes has become part of the fiber of the community. We also know that successful community projects promote community building. These efforts capture the imagination of our citizens and demonstrate the incredible good they can do when they set their minds to it. We believe that 2014 has been a wonderfully successful year for TEAM. This success is entirely due to volunteers who have generously contributed their talent and time to work on our projects. We are most grateful to our volunteers who do the heavy lifting and to our sponsors who provide the means to further our projects.
The first of the Community Garden has been a success by any measure. 32 local families or individuals are currently using the garden to grow food. There is a waiting list of 30 gardeners. All plots have been fully rented from the start-up of the garden. By carefully building community involvement and support, we expect a similarly successful result for each garden we construct.
Another measure of success is the strong neighborhood collaboration that has formed around the construction of the garden. The pilot neighborhood is the location of many community programs who have been involved and many neighborhood churches who participate. TEAM Punta Gorda volunteers not only provided project oversight but 80 volunteers participated in the project and built the garden. County Parks and Recreation staff installed the fencing. Volunteer teams constructed the heavy wooden frames that contain each of the raised beds. The Master Gardeners provide the community education classes.
The goal of this project is to create a network of locally sponsored, self-sufficient Community Gardens in Charlotte County that will improve food access, increase awareness of sustainable horticulture practices, and serve as informal educational sites for the community.One criteria for site selection is accessibility to low income, minority and elderly populations who can most benefit from the results as well as accessibility to the general public. Utilizing unused public spaces, volunteers and neighborhood partners, we intend to add a new Community Garden to Charlotte County each year.
The Community Gardens Committee collects ongoing utilization data (construction progress, plot rental, community participation, educational seminars). Regular meetings of the Committee ensure that data is utilized for continuous project improvement. Each team also collects qualitative data from participants(how? survey? interviews?) that will allow them to make ongoing adjustments as the programs are implemented.
Evidence of the success of this program can be seen in the faces of the people who garden there and walk away with crops grown at the site through their own hard work. Further success can be measured through the experience of the children of participating families who learn directly how plants are grown and where vegetables and fruit come from. The gardens will become a location for food production, floral beauty and a community horticultural education tool for adults and children alike. The ongoing process of education, growth and reward will assure the long term success of the project. Just by its presence a Community Garden generates unexpected interest from the community in the form of a ever-growing waiting list for new space. The challenge for the long term success of this program will be measured by how quickly we can develop other similar sites to satisfy the growing desire of so many citizens who want their own public garden space.
After Hurricane Charley dealt a blow to the Punta Gorda landscape, TEAM Punta Gorda's (TPG) Beautification Committee has been bringing back the landscape by funding projects and providing volunteer labor. The economy forced the City to cut landscaping budgets. The City is dependent on TPG's efforts for landscape revitalization other than grant-funding. TPG uses Florida-friendly concepts that conserve resources and set an example of a beautiful, sustainable landscape.
Currently scheduled projects include enhancing the historic courthouse lawn and providing a space to celebrate the contribution of our veterans to our country. A short-term measure of success will be completing fundraising so that the Eternal Light fountain can be constructed and operational 365 days per year and the Veteran's Park revitalization completed.
The vision of this program is to enhance public spaces with materials that provide a Florida-friendly, attractive, and sustainable landscape. Previous projects have included a variety of landscape plantings and paver projects throughout the downtown Punta Gorda area. Currently scheduled projects include enhancing the historic courthouse lawn and providing a space to celebrate the contribution of our veterans to our country. Long term success of this program will be the ability to plan and fund ongoing Punta Gorda landscape revitalization projects while completing the renovation of the Veteran's Memorial. In the years to come, these collaborative projects with our City and other organization partners will be viewed as significant accomplishments in a long list of projects that help Punta Gorda become a better place to live, work, and play. Residents and visitors of all ages will enjoy the unique character of Punta Gorda.
The Beautification Committee maintains strong relationships with local gardening organizations, Master Gardeners, and the City's Growth Management Staff. Collectively the projects are reviewed for code compliance. The success of the Veteran's Park project will include architects, engineers, and construction contractors completing their phases to create an operational Eternal Light fountain.
Previous fund raising of over $20,000 enabled TEAM Punta Gorda's Beautification Committee, in conjunction with the City of Punta Gorda, to refurbish city parks that had been ravaged by Hurricane Charley. Below is a list of landscape revitalization projects completed by the Beautification Committee:
TEAM Punta Gorda's Spokes and Trails Committee is responsible for an array of collaborative projects that support Punta Gorda's development into a bicycle friendly community. The most visible and successful is the Bicycle Loaner Program.
This 3 year old initiative established a free Bicycle Loaner Program in Punta Gorda. This program is unique to the West Coast of Florida, and affords citizens and visitors a free, alternative mode of transportation and access to local businesses. Modeled after successful Yellow Bike Programs in other communities, this project represents a public-private partnership between TEAM Punta Gorda, local businesses, and city government. Donated Yellow Bikes are distributed to host site sponsors who pay a fee to host the bikes, providing ongoing funds to sustain the program. Merchants and sponsors receive acknowledgement through signage, advertising decals, and a brochure.
The program started 3 years ago with 11 new yellow bicycles for residents, visitors and snowbirds to use free for the day on a library type of system from our marinas, hotels and hospital. The program seeks to inspire healthy lifestyles for residents and visitors.
After 3 years the program has 31 bicycles (including 4 tricycles for the balanced impaired) operating from six locations. The program is the only free bicycle loaner program in Florida. It has been acclaimed regionally and recognized nationally. It is attracting visitors both nationally and internationally.
In its first year, this committee assisted the City in applying for Bicycle-Friendly Community Designation from the American League of Cyclists, and received Honorable Mention.
Additional Bicycle-Friendly Initiatives include a major bicycle event each spring, Pedal & Play in Paradise. This popular event drew 438 riders this year and provided 5 diverse rides ranging from a 10 mile Mystery Bike Ride to a 62 mile ride.
With a strong base of citizen participation and collaboration, the Punta Gorda is emerging as a vibrant community despite devastating economic conditions. One of the challenges has been to support our local businesses and keep them viable during this economic crisis. This program meshes nicely with other community efforts underway to attract visitors to utilize services that will keep jobs in Punta Gorda.
· Give visitors and residents access to the community and attract them to downtown by providing free, accessible, transportation;
· Provide economic stimulus for local businesses thereby helping to retain area jobs;
· Enhance existing waterfront development efforts, and help Punta Gorda become a boating destination;
· Encourage bicycle use as an alternative, carbon-free means of transportation, to encourage healthy lifestyles among residents and reduce the use of automobiles;
· Improve the quality of life in Punta Gorda.
Team Punta Gorda's Bicycle Loaner Program represents an effective public private partnership with established roles and responsibilities for partners. The Bicycle Loaner Committee has developed a set of guidelines for bicycle use. The Committee solicits donations, purchases bicycles, services and maintains the bicycles (under a local service contract). Each hosting sponsor manages the sign-out sheets when bicycles are loaned, shelters the bikes, and monitors their safekeeping. TEAM Punta Gorda periodically collects the liability waivers from sites and tracks utilization statistics. The City of Punta Gorda provides insurance, and law enforcement staff provide public safety assistance.
The Bicycle Loaner Program is a true success story. The program received a grant from the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Programto produce a brochure which maps bicycle and recreational trails,showcases the Charlotte Harbor Watershed and teaches conservation.
The Bicycles are in high demand and have been used by visitors from over 38 states and 20 foreign countries. As the program has drawn interest to cycling, opportunities have multiplied in Punta Gorda with new bicycle trails, harbor trails and Multiple Use Recreational Trails. Each year we are asked to increase our fleet.
This committee is active in the development of additional opportunities to make Punta Gorda a bicycle friendly community. They've helped the City plan trail development and have convened planners from surrounding counties to talk about connecting routes. Currently they are working with City officials to create a network of marked routes. Future projects include bicycle safety and public education.
Punta Gorda has been rapidly transforming itself since the devastation from Hurricane Charley in 2004, including the careful development of its waterfront assets. As we have moved from disaster recovery to economic recovery, TEAM Punta Gorda (TPG) has served as a convener and facilitator for community efforts to develop public spaces. TPG's Maritime Committee believes that protecting our waterfront through responsible development is part of an overall strategy to revitalize the area and keep year round residents and jobs in Punta Gorda.
In 2008, TPG provided leadership by creating a Waterfront Master Plan. Written by volunteer architects and adopted by the City, the plan transforms the waterfront and links it with the downtown retail district. The backbone of this plan is the Harborwalk, a multi-use pathway.
TPG provides advocacy and leadership for this effort. Projects focus on enhancing Punta Gorda as a land and sea destination, encouraging tourism, and stewardship of the harbor.
The City is currently working on the remake of a significant public space along the harbor and near downtown, Gilchrist Park. TPG's Maritime, Architecture and Beautification Committees are all involved in different aspects of the development.
Serving as convener in partnership with PGBA, TPG is recommending that the city establish an anchorage with landside boater amenities along the shoreline of Gilchrist Park. In February 2012, TPG hosted a community education meeting bringing public officials and community members together with a national boating expert who recommended next steps for our community to become a boating destination of choice.
To this end, specific projects are underway:
The vision of this program is to make the Punta Gorda's waterfront a recreational and boater's destination of choice. It also continues the historic legacy of those city founders who donated land along the harbor in order to ensure public access and protect our natural resources.
Travel from the Gulf and intra-coastal waterway will be worth the time and effort to arrive at a friendly community that is a welcome haven. With landside amenities for boaters and plentiful recreational opportunities for visitors and residents, Punta Gorda will become a relaxing and yet stimulating place to visit by boat or by land.
With a goal of making Punta Gorda a better place to live, work and play through waterfront projects and activities, we anticipate boating-related industries to establish themselves in the area, providing an economic benefit to the community. We envision a steady stream of visitors using our harbor by boat or on land, making Punta Gorda their destination of choice year after year.
Waterfront development is a collaborative effort led by TPG and the Punta Gorda Boaters Alliance (PGBA) who represent most of the maritime groups in the community. The partnership also involves the City of Punta Gorda, Charlotte Harbor Visitors and Convention Bureau, Chambers of Commerce, Downtown Merchants Association, Fishermen's Village, and other community organizations focused on the regions economic development needs.
The TPG Maritime Committee along with the PGBA will monitor the planning as it moves forward and will make recommendations to the City of Punta Gorda.
As the City moves forward with the development of public spaces, TEAM Punta Gorda has been a major contributor in the process:
· Waterfront Master Plan: The Waterfront Master Plan developed by TPG in 2008 set in place a plan to develop the Harborwalk as an attraction for visitors and residents to enjoy. It is now partially completed and heavily used by the public.
· Re-purposing and renovation of a major recreational area, Laishley Park: TPG worked the City including providing the landscaping and pavers for the interactive fountain.
· CharlotteHarbor Event CenterDesign: TPG assisted the County in modifying the final design of this waterfront facility to be consistent with other architecture in the community. Later, we contributed updated landscaping.
· Charlotte Harbor Estuary Brochure: Using grant funds TPG developed a brochure to help the public understand the importance of the Charlotte Harbor Estuary.
On April 26, 2014, more than two hundred volunteers joined together with Comcast and Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity to paint – for free - the homes of people who could use a hand. This program has been used successfully in cities large and small for many years. With encouragement from the Punta Gorda Chamber, local builders, banks, service clubs and tradesmen provided professional expertise and support. Not only did they donate funding, but many provided on site supervision and painting. We believe that this project does more than paint homes. It sends a message of pride and builds a sense of community spirit and unity that lasts long after this day of service is over. Paint Your Heart Out, Punta Gorda 2015 is scheduled for April 11, 2015.

The Fire Service's new fire risk manager for the Queenstown
Lakes district, Paul Glanville, has visited 15 bars and
nightclubs in the past few weeks and found ''over half'' with
exits blocked by ''cardboard boxes, kegs, rubbish bins and
stuff like that''.
The breaches found were ''easy fixes'', but exits were
critical during emergency evacuations and had to be kept
completely clear, he said.
Mr Glanville, who left Invercargill to take up the position a
month ago, said it was the first appointment of its type in
the country since a major reorganisation of the Fire Service
two years ago.
The appointment was the result of lessons learned from the
Christchurch earthquakes and the World Bar fire in Queenstown
last year.
His other duties, fire investigation and community education,
had been ''put aside'' for the next six months so he could
work with nightclubs and accommodation providers to reduce
fire risk.
''These issues aren't new, but the fire service has lacked
the resources to be vigilant about liaising and collaborating
with building owners and managers to get it right.''
He discussed the issue with the Queenstown Lakes District
Council and police this week and found that ''everyone's on
the same page''.
''We manage the risk, be proactive and make sure our visitors
are safe.''
He intended to make follow-up visits to nightclubs and
accommodation providers on a more frequent basis to
''educate, rectify and hopefully get a change of behaviour''.
If that approach failed, a business could be found in breach
of its liquor licence.
''We hope we don't have to go there - we would like to think
communication is the key,'' Mr Glanville said.
''The good thing about what we are seeing is there are some
pretty simple fixes that just require a change in behaviour
of some of the managers and owners.''
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

"Given the reserve addition in 2004 and the fact that trends in asbestos litigation have not deteriorated in 2005, we are not expecting a major charge from the company."
"The crackdown on asbestos litigation in these states has prompted forum shopping in jurisdictions such as South Carolina where objective medical standards have not been adopted legislatively. The court dockets in South Carolina may become crowded with asbestos cases filed by individuals who are not physically impaired. These cases clog the court system and drain resources that would be available to aid individuals who are truly sick. In addition, these cases can threaten the financial viability of South Carolina businesses."

Yes, hiring competent people instead of "diverse" people would be every shade of bigotry. Hiring people because they're "diverse" isn't bigoted at all.
Earlier this morning I had to wait for three elevators because every opportunity I had was all white. Finally, this black dude showed up. It was a diverse ride.
this is a fascinating look into the right-wing mindset about the financial collapse. so, the spin is: it's all the fault of pandering to minorities.
so, hiring minorities means throwing your business in the tiolet. lending sub-prime means lending to sub-humans. got it. *shudder*
Jesus, reading the comments for that article was incredible. Look how many of them are about the "racist" ad campaign where the smart-alec black man mocks a group of old white men. Wish I were kidding.
Why would you post that Dan? That was terrible.
I just came here to express amazement for the same thing Jody just said. These comments are incredible.
As always the statement says more about the person who made it than anything about the issue. In every crisis there is a myriad of factors involved, but these guys happen to point to the one thing that furthers their own prejudices. Idiots.
@1 The problem with folks like this, Poe, is that there's an implicit assumption that any hire of a "diverse" (aka non-straight, white male) person is by default a bad decision. That's bullshit.
Discriminating against non-"diverse" prospective employees is, I agree, wrongheaded. However, there's nothing wrong with recruiting to attract QUALIFIED employement candidates from "diverse" backgrounds.
God, what a bunch of idiots.
What kills me is the use of that word, "diverse." Nobody gives a fuck about true diversity. What they mean is race - black and hispanic, in particular. It wouldn't bother me if employers were at least just honest about it.
Our server at work won't let me read it. It said something about hate speech.
@10 American Renaissance is a hate site
I'm dousing my eyeballs with gasoline to get that website off of them.
I couldn't force myself to get all the way through that. At some point did they explain that hiring non-Jews in the banking industry was the real problem?
Bigots will go to any length and tell any numer of lies to justify their opinions.
The comments that this post links to are enlightening. I hadn't realized that Diversity was so entirely to blame for the collapse of WAMU and indeed the entire worldwide financial market.
And looking at the sea of white faces that is/was the WAMU management team I can see why diversity would be the number one suspect (https://www.wamu.com/about/corporateprofile/executivesandmanagement/default.asp).
Ill be damned if there isnt a white woman on the senior executive team! She must have used her irrational capitalism-hating feminine wiles on the entire company to steer it into this industry and world-spanning crisis. And isnt that just like a woman?
And if its not her fault, then it must have been all those brown, black, and yellow employees with their plum low paying, zero strategic influence jobs. They obviously hatched this plan to screw whitey in-between saving for a mortgage deposit and donating blood to pay for gas so they could afford to get to work. Quite a feat considering that not a single one of their hue is on the companys senior management team.
Or it could have been all those swish men and butch women with their second-class relationships and deviant financial ways. They hate marriage and children and puppies and civilization so much that they wouldnt blink at destroying our financial system after their disco nap.
Thank god that through all the noisome claims of grasping avarice and vile corruption in the financial elite, some of us can still see the truth.
That its the powerful non-white non-straight people who are to blame for this whole financial mess.
Ah, its teh gays fault as well:http://pageoneq.com/news/2008/Fundamentalists_blame_Wall_Street_0929.html
After reading that article it has become clear that the stock market crash and Great Depression were casued by giving women the vote.

'Doublicious' hydrangea re-bloomer with unique flowers, have you ever seen anything like it?
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Doublicious' was planted in my garden last summer.
I saw it blooming at the nursery and was blown away by the flowers. I'd never seen anything like them on a hydrangea.
Not only are they beautiful and fragrant, the plant will keep putting them out sporadically though the season.
As long as the plant has plenty of moisture and a little fertilizer, the flowers should keep coming.
I'm a sucker for doubles and hydrangeas, so this plant is right in the middle of a prominent bed bordering the back patio.
I can't wait to see how long the plant flowers this season, we've certainly had enough rain to get it off to a good start.
Take some time and explore your favorite nurseries for something fun and different to grow like 'Doublicious.'

Building Digital Libraries with Greenstone
The Greenstone suite helps you build your own digital library.
Posting documents on the web is easy, but librarians, archivists, and other experts need more sophisticated systems for organizing information within digital collections. One option is to build a network of static outlines and indexes, but that alternative is often too inflexible, requiring high overhead and constant updates. Other digital collections use homegrown scripts and other custom tools, but these tools also require high overhead and continual maintenance. An efficient alternative for open source users who want to build fast and flexible digital collections is Greenstone. Greenstone is a suite of tools you can use to build your own digital library. The Greenstone suite not only indexes your documents but also provides an interface for defining and organizing metadata. Greenstone gives collection managers a headstart in the task of creating a smart and highly structured digital library.

Rajendra Nath Mookerjee
|Sir Rajen Mookerjee
|23 June 1854
Bhabla, North 24 Parganas
|15 May 1936
Sir Rajen Mookerjee KCIE KCVO (or Sir Rajendra Nath Mookerjee) was a pioneering Bengali Indian industrialist.[1]
Early life[edit]
Rajendra Nath Mookerjee was raised by his mother after his father died when he was six. He studied engineering for three years at present day Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur then located at Presidency College, Calcutta. He started as a contractor and later earned fame as an engineer and businessman.[1]
Among his achievements were the construction of Palta water works and the Victoria Memorial at Kolkata. He pioneered the laying down and operations of Martin's Light Railways.[1]
Along with Sir Acquin Martin, he founded Martin & Co. and contributed to the success of Bengal Iron at Kulti. Later he joined G.H.Fairhurst in founding the iron works of The Indian Iron and Steel Company at Burnpur.[2]
He first went to England in 1901 and later several times in connection with his business. In 1908, Mookerjee was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE).[3] In 1911, he became sheriff of Kolkata. Also in 1911, he was knighted with the KCIE.[4] In 1922, Mookerjee was further honoured with the dignity of a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO).[5] In 1931, the University of Calcutta honoured him with an honorary D.Sc. (Engineering).[1] He presided over the 8th session of Indian Science Congress held at Kolkata in 1921.[6]
Sir Biren Mookerjee was his second son. Jitendra Nath Mookerjee was his eldest son and Mahendra Nath Mookerjee was his youngest son. His grandsons, Ramen Mookerjee and Robin Mookerjee took over the reins of Martin Burn & Co. after the death of his sons.
A main thoroughfare in Kolkata is named after him as Rajendra Nath Mukherjee Road abbreviated as R. N. Mukherjee Road, earlier known as Misson Row.[7]

Using Lucifer Yellow we have demonstrated that the phloem-loading pathway from the mesophyll to the bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface inZea mays source leaves follows a symplasmic route in small and intermediate vascular bundles in control as well as in the green sections of mutant sucrose-export-defective (SXD-1) plants. In the anthocyanin-rich mutant leaf sections, Lucifer Yellow transport was prohibited along the same path, at the bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface in particular. Plasmodesmata at the latter interface in SXD-1 anthocyanin-rich leaf sections appear to be structurally altered through callose deposition at the plasmodesmal orifices. We suggest that a transport bottleneck at the bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface is thus orchestrated and regulated through callose formation, preventing symplasmic transport across this important loading interface.

Bessel Filters as Loudspeaker Crossovers
Bessel filters are all-pass networks. However, a particular combination of minimum phase group-delay and all-pass group-delay within the filter's passband and overlap range produces an excellent performance both in frequency and time domains. Thus, Bessel filters are highly desirable as loudspeaker crossovers. The lack of dispersion of frequency components in time in the Bessel crossover contributes to an excellent transient response, and the phase match in its overlap region insures small lobing in the overall acoustical radiation pattern. The results of FFT measurements on a fourth-order Bessel crossover and impulse as well as TDS measurements of a complete four-way studio monitor system are presented. A near phase-linear flat magnitude response loudspeaker is accomplished with an excellent subjective sound quality.

Talk:Socialist Alternative (Australia)/Archive1 Start to 2008
Editorial style[edit]
At a rough count, 12 out of the article's 18 paragraphs begin with "Socialist Alternative". Obviously, that is indeed the subject matter; but that many repetitions reads quite poorly. I propose that the article be changed to show some variety, see those substitutes I included in the "Activity" section for examples. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
RFD: Contracted as "SA" versus spelt out as "Socialist Alternative"[edit]
With no previous discussion listed, I'd like to advocate that the first use in each paragraph is spelt out, as it encourages better word flow and pacing, and looks less like a ticket stub. I'd prefer second uses to be spelt, but its harder there. Finally, too many sentences and paragraphs begin SA. A sentence should never begin with a contraction if we can avoid it, especially if the contraction forms a sound like "Ess Aye", it halts the reading flow. Fifelfoo (talk) 09:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
An important point hasn't been covered[edit]
How are Socialist alternative funded? It seems to me to be highly important as they need a finnancial source to continue their activties. Posters, server costs and other items don't pay for themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 07:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- There's no mystery to this: socialist groups' members make regular donations and sell literature and campaign materials. But you won't be able to fund much referenced material, except when they run fundraising campaigns. --Duncan (talk) 19:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Donations? That's a strange way of putting it. Socialist Alternative say they run on donations, but to tell you the experience of someone I know who's an ex member of the group, the group says they run on donations even to its members, but if you do not pay your membership fees they actually harrass you and tell you have 'outstanding' fees (technically). The group practically REQUIRES that you pay to be a member. --Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy (talk) 13:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
- the funding of left-wing groups in Australia is of inherent interest. Please use reliable sources only. What my mate said, or what I know from direct knowledge can't be used for wikipedia. Fifelfoo (talk) 08:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- This would be slightly more scandalous if it weren't the case that all trade unions and political parties collect membership dues. Nice try though.

The group practically REQUIRES that you pay to be a member. --Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy (talk) 13:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
- They have a dues system. Members payments are determined by their income level. Its in their constitution [1] . Not exactly cloak and dagger stuff.
Disparity in numbers[edit]
My utmost apologies if this has already been covered however are there any significant factors which has caused a disparity of numbers? I know that there are significantly more in New South Whales than there are in Victoria, however protests before the Iraq war may have caused this. My utmost apologies I'm just looking for an explanation in the disparity in members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 04:48, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Though large in NSW, Socialist Alternative is certainly much larger in Melbourne, where its membership is spread across three branches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 06:55, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
General warning 2009: uncited contributions[edit]
This is a general warning to people thinking of making uncited contributions that meet dubious criteria (numbers, assertions of internal positions held, oral statements by members, etc.). Not only will your contributions be reverted, but you will be warned, and action on warnings will occur. Please continue to make great contributions, that are appropriately cited. Fifelfoo (talk) 01:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't find the article to be generally poor on citing. But if you're specifically referring to the membership numbers, then SA is definitely second largest next to the Alliance. But the Alliance is NOT defined as a revolutionary socialist organisation. Far left organisations don't tend to regularly update and release their memberships as there's usually a lot of in- and out-flux. But for people familiar with such groupings in Australia it's relatively well-known that none have the ~250-300 active members that SA does: roughly 160 in Melbourne, 60 in Sydney, 15 in Perth, 10 in Canberra, ~20 in all other cities. DSP membership used to be around the same figure, but since their split with RSP they no longer have those kinds of numbers. -- Franz.87 (talk) 11:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- I am familiar with the Australian left. Your qualifier sounds like a "no true Scotsman". While this article is reasonably cited, its also single-sourced and self-sourced. While an organisation rarely has any reason to lie about, for example, who the public spokesperson is, there is a cachet in claiming largeness. It demands citation. Fifelfoo (talk) 12:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- I know you are and that's why I'm surprised you're disputing this, even though you probably know it to be a fact. If not please explain what other groupings have those kinds of numbers of active members. Cheers. -- Franz.87 (talk) 16:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know it to be a fact, its one of the reasons why I'm asking for a cite. Apart from counting issues to do with Socialist Alternative's orientation to student work and the resulting membership churn; apart from the "no true Scotsman" of "revolutionary socialist", I want something slightly better than "you know it to be true, feel it in your bones." Additionally, its not discussed in the article and shouldn't be in the lede on that basis alone. You're asking now for a devil's proof that they aren't the largest revolutionary socialist group: an unacceptable strategy in demonstrating their size. Do we count issued membership cards, attendance at meetings, cadre? If its as well known as it is, then someone will have moaned about Socialist Alternative's size on their blog, or Socialist Alternative will have made the boast in a recorded medium. And if membership size is important enough to be in the lede, then its certainly important enough to discuss in the body of the article near the student recruiting stuff. But it isn't. And none of the claims are cited. Fifelfoo (talk) 17:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Notability of current members[edit]
You say that an article needs to be notable to have a place, this is correct, however the article's content should be notable as well. Putting non-notable 'current members' in it is pointless and bulks the article up without reason. The current student union officials are not notable what so ever, prove to me how they are? I will continue to remove those people from the list until you can prove their actually notable. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- While article subject must be notable, article content does not have to be notable: check the policy. Red linking Biographies of Living Persons who are non-notable would be bad. Additionally, while student union leadership positions don't produce notability; the volume of student union leadership controlled by a student union faction is an important topic. Fifelfoo (talk) 05:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- No discussion before the last edit, edit summary the same justification given above. Going to WP:AN/I. Please see: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Socialist_Alternative_.28Australia.29_and_IP_conduct_in_relation_to_the_inclusion_of_office_holders_in_Student_Unions. Fifelfoo (talk) 00:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- I will leave this up to the admins to decide, but it seems that other people agree with me on this, (ie. steve) I do not wish to go against the rules of Wikipedia, I just wish to have articles contain only appropriate information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 10:42, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- If there's an opinion forthcoming from Administrators Noticeboard that's firm on the content stuff, I'd be happy with that. However, if that doesn't solve the content issue, perhaps we can call for a Request for Comment process from uninvolved editors on the issue that we'd all agree to abide by, and seed the process with clear opinions and options? Fifelfoo (talk) 10:51, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- FYI, I'm now using this account. I'm unsure how to call for a request for comment, but I believe that would be a good idea. I honestly do not think that the student union members (except for the NUS members) should be listed. --Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy (talk) 18:13, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Patrick Weiniger appears to have written only one article for On Line Opinion, (http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/author.asp?id=5694), and their website lists some 1,000 authors (http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/author.asp). If he is notable, it seems unlikely that it is for this one article. Cause for revision? --Dnasin (talk) 13:55, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- It certainly seems the wikipedia article's misrepresenting Weiniger's involvement in the publication, so sounds like a good revision. Fifelfoo (talk) 14:03, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Google searches for "Fleur Taylor" + "Refugee Action Collective" return no relevant results past 2005. The most recent reference to her in an organisational capacity appears to be from late 2004. This seems misleading. Cause for revision? Dnasin (talk) 16:43, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- re: patrick weiniger; true, weiniger has only 1 published article on online opinion but note the 16 comments relating to his controversial article, the numerous letters to the sa editor about the same article, and also note the letters in one of the same sa editions about another controversial weiniger article: The problem with conspiracy theories and the ongoing controversy around that article. Marxwasright (talk) 12:12, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- Personally speaking it seems like some of the 'Notable Members' are only mentioned in places such as Socialist Alternative and Wikipedia entries. I'd request this part of the article be revised and the actual notability of the members shown from 3rd party sites. Just because SA seems them as notable does not mean they are. Seems like shameless self promotion to me, regardless if its for a good cause or not. Theradeon (talk)
- The relevant guideline is WP:NLIST. The two criteria for each name in the list are sufficient notability that you would otherwise mention them in the article text if the list didn't exist, and verification of their membership of Socialist Alternative, via references in reliable sources. This is a slightly lesser criteria than the general notability guideline for either politicians or creative professionals (eg. journalists), but it is just as important.
- You could argue the first criteria either way for most people in the list, but the second one is pretty black and white. Most of the names in the list are unreferenced. Even if you know the person personally, you can't add their name here without a reliable source verifying their membership of the organisation. Absent this, the unreferenced names should be removed. Euryalus (talk) 12:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
- I would argue the first criteria (sufficient notability to be mentioned in the article without the list) would lean against most names in the 2011 Student Union Office Bearer list in particular. For example - as it stands now Rebecca Hynek is listed twice and yet a Google News (and Google News Archive) search for "Rebecca Hynek" doesn't match any documents. Can her notability be indicated in any reliable thrid party source? Australian Matt (talk) 11:41, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
- Per the above and WP:NLIST, I have removed those names from the list that are completely unreferenced and for whom no claim of notability has been made. There is also a WP:BLP argument here - "material about living persons must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality, and avoiding original research." Going forward, it would be great if people referenced any names they wanted to add, rather than just posting them and not returning.
- A number of the remaining names also stretch any notability definition and are referenced from sources that wouldn't meet WP:RS. But that's a separate discussion - for fringe political groups reliable sources can be a challenge and the notability criteria for in-article lists are somewhat less than for article topics.
Looks good to me, although I'm having trouble seeing why we need lists of current office bearers at all (referenced or not). -- Lear's Fool 12:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Me either. I'd also add that this reference for Patrick Langosch being an SA member doesn't mention Socialit Alternative at all. Can anyone find an alternative reference? if not we are back in the BLP and NLIST territory mentioned above. Euryalus (talk) 04:37, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Draft Request for Comment[edit]
Editors on this article disagree about the inclusion of certain content. They want external opinions and have agreed to see the consensus of this discussion as binding on their edits.
- [Editor 1 signature]
- [Editor 2 signature]
- [Editor n signature]...
Background In Australia, student unions exist at a National, State, and University level. Office holding positions are elected through complex mechanics on a yearly basis.
Content of the Request Should members of the Australian Socialist Alternative organisation who are office holders in a student union be included in this page:
- If they hold office at the National level, in the National Union of Students
- As a President, General Secretary, Treasurer, Education Officer, or Vice President of NUS
- As any other elected Officer
- If they hold office at the State level
- As a President, General Secretary, Treasurer, Education Officer, or Vice President of a state branch of NUS
- As any other elected Officer
- If they hold office in a local University student association
- As a President, General Secretary, Treasurer, Education Officer, or Vice President
- As any other elected Officer
- I see why you;d want to do this, because this list of 2010 student union holders is deeply not notable and poses the question of what happens in 2011. However, wikipedia is not a directory. In itself, being election to student union position may not be notable at any level. --Duncan (talk) 10:48, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'd suggest this request for comment be put forth as the "Notable Members" list seems to be self promoting rather than informative. None of them seem particularly noteworthy. However, if one holds high up positions on NUS or President/etc positions on student council or are actually of relative celebrity, then yes, they are notable. It seems they only hold notability in this article as they are known in the organisation or have used their position in the organisation for personal notoriety and self advertisement. --Theradeon (talk) 14:23, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Allegations of Anti-Semitism Section[edit]
Okay, it appears that there's some disagreement about the addition of the italicised part in the following sentence of this section: "They were accused of assaulting students who supported Israel during the Lebanon War, among whom included members of the Liberal Party who allegedly overturned SA campaign stalls." Can I suggest that there be some kind of consensus formed here regarding this sentence in particular and the section generally before any more changes are made? -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 12:52, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think the remark about the stall here comes from this article, which says:
- "In Sydney last month, a Jewish student was pushed to the ground and others spat on. At Monash, a Young Liberal member staffing a stall supporting Israel was grabbed by the throat and threatened, while the table was kicked over."
- This suggests that it was in fact a pro-Israel stall that was knocked over, although the source doesn't officially say that the culprits were SA members. Accordingly, I think the italicised part in my post above should probably be removed from the article. I'm going to remove it for the moment, but if anyone feels that this is inappropriate, please post here if you re-add the section in question. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't understand the basis for this [1] revert. Any comments? --Duncan (talk) 12:14, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
To keep neutrality in the document I have removed the word "zionist" from the title of the "allegations of anti-semitism". Wikipedia should remain neutral and having that word adds a bias. Theradeon (talk)
- Okay that explains the one word in the heading. I don't understand the revert to the rest of the article. --Duncan (talk) 10:44, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Jewish students?[edit]
The following sentence is apparently problematic:
A member of SA from RMIT University wrote a controversial email referring to some [Jewish] students at that university as "Zionists (who) felt the need to assert their racism and fetish for genocide and mass slaughter of Arab people."
The reference provided for this section is here. The word "Jewish", indicated above, has been added and then removed 8 times (if I've counted correctly) in the last month. It would be good if this could be discussed here rather than reverting every few days. The problem with this sentence is that it's referenced by a first party source that provides very little context about what actually happened. Because of this, we must be particularly careful not to say anything that the source itself does not say. Here, the source does not say that the people referred to were Jewish, but instead refers to them as Zionists. Accordingly, the word "Jewish" should only be re-added if a source can be found to confirm that the student's referred to were in fact Jewish. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 06:38, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. I am sure SA would say that not all Zionists are Jewish, and that most Jews are not genocidal. --Duncan (talk) 23:39, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, User:184.108.40.206 has changed it to "Pro-Israel" instead. I appreciate the effort to compromise, but this is still unsourced. I do not believe we can add any adjective in that place until we have a second- or third-party source about the event to more solidly establish the facts. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Here is a source which suggests that the word Jewish is most appropriate:
"RADICAL left-wing groups at Melbourne universities are exploiting tensions in the Middle East to promote anti-Semitism and recruit members, according to Jewish student groups.
"There's a real feeling of threat," said Deon Kamien, Victorian president of the Australasian Union of Jewish Students.
He said Jewish students for the first time felt targeted as Jews, rather than supporters of Israel. "When they walk past socialist stalls (on campus) they feel very uncomfortable, especially when called 'a f—ing Jew'," Mr Kamien said."
http://slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=380 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC).
- That's a totally different source, referring to a general feeling across many campuses. This story actually refers to a specific set of interactions, and we have no information about the ethnicity of the participants. They could be been Jewish on boths sides, or on neither. --Duncan (talk) 10:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Revert War[edit]
Both Alans1977 (talk · contribs) and RedUnderTheBed (talk · contribs) should probably take a step back for a moment here, both of you are very close to violating the three revert rule. What are the problems? Lets thrash it out on the talk page. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- I add relevant notable material that is well referenced and remove unsubstantiated statements of facts and it gets reverted. I don't see what the problem is at all. Perhaps RedUnderTheBed (talk · contribs) could care to enlighten. Alans1977 (talk) 13:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- if controversy over campaigning tactics is to be included it should at least be under a relevant section Marxwasright (talk) 03:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Number of times Socialist Alternative magazine is reference[edit]
Does anyone else find it problematic that this article references the Socialist Alternative magazine 34 times to back up statements of fact about Socialist Alternative? Alans1977 (talk) 23:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. When I have the time I'll remove non-independent sources - but it'll take some time and patience. Australian Matt (talk) 06:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- And by all means if anyone else is keen - go for it! Australian Matt (talk) 06:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Why shouldn't the only publication in which an organisation puts out its positions be referenced in an article dealing with the politics of said organisation? Most of these links to the magazine are citations for claims made by Socialist Alternative - not AUJS or the Labor students, but Socialist Alternative. Many back up direct quotations. No where else will you find references for SA's work as one of the main forces behind the Equal Love campaign, nor are you likely to find information about the group's union activity in a non-SA source. The reason is simple - small far left organisations are limited in their influence and therefore receive very little media exposure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Nothing is wrong if quotations are putting forth the opinions of the organisation when that is made plain that is what it is, the political stance taken by an political organisation. However a lot of the references to the Socialist Alternative magazine in this article are put in to back up statements of fact. So what we have happening is statements of fact favourable to Socialist Alternative's political position for which Socialist Alternative is the author of the references given for those statements. So if I write something saying I'm a nice guy and make that writing publicaly available, it's reliable evidence of me being a nice guy (rather than it being evidence of my opinion of myself)? Any such referencing would ensure a fail in any university essay. Alans1977 (talk) 10:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- I think the self-published sources are still a concern - are there any responses to the note above from Alans1977? Australian Matt (talk) 02:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
"The ex-members had been expelled from the ISO after a debate about how to increase membership." This is the funniest thing I've read all week. Long live the People's Front of Judea! --MQDuck (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that is amusing. --Duncan (talk) 22:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- what the fuck is the point of this particular discussion stream exactly? Marxwasright (talk) 03:37, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
retrieving marxism from the stalinists[edit]
user: 220.127.116.11 i re-inserted differences between other left groups as the intro is meant as a summary of article's main points. the section on theory and ideology already covers sa's position on stalinism and state capitalism. i don't think one sentance in the intro about this is problematic. i agree sa aren't solely defined by other left groups but should have no shame in differentiating itself from backers of one party dictatorships, which the i.s. has been trying to do for decades, no matter how small the left is. Marxwasright (talk) 08:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Even if your claimed "differences" with other left groups amount to slander? You've learnt something from the Stalinist school yourself comrade... 188.8.131.52 (talk) 11:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- "I know very well how often you repeat that you are criticising Stalinism and fighting it. But the fact is that your criticism and your fight lose their value and can yield no results because they are determined by and subordinated to your position of defence of the Stalinist state. Whoever defends this regime of barbarous oppression, regardless of the motives, abandons the principles of socialism and internationalism." -Natalia Sedova Trotsky Marxwasright (talk) 14:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
This entire article appears to have a large number of weasel words, has a distinct lack of NPOV, and the "notable members" section doesn't seem to meet the standards of COI in the slightest. Does anyone have any suggestions of what could be done about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heartofunformed (talk • contribs) 23:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Length of article[edit]
Does anyone fee that this article is too long? It is longer the sites on Bolshevism, Trotskyism and almost as long as the site for the Australian Labor Party and the Australian Greens. When the long lists of ALP and Greens notable members are subtracted the pages for these mainstream mass membership political parties is only slightly larger than that of Socialist Alternative. Surely, such a small organisation so lacking in popular influence deserves much less space? honestly, most of this content does not meet any requirement of notability, the history of factional divisions, philosophies of party building, etc are, to be frank, quite irrelevant. A brief and accurate summary could be accomplished in a few hundred words, and this would accurately reflect the place Socialist Alternative occupies in the wider world
- Yes, I do think the article is too long, but you'll need to show why sections of the article aren't worthy of inclusion in and of themselves, instead of comparing it to other articles. Australian Matt (talk) 07:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Jade Eckhaus[edit]
As Australian Matt and I have pointed out, the source cited does not say that Eckhaus is a member of Socialist Alternative. While further discussion would be fine, repeated addition of this unreferenced, controversial material about a living person will almost certainly lead to either blocks or the page being protected. -- Lear's Fool 04:32, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Addition of members[edit]
The addition of a number of members is inappropriate. Not only is it unnecessary to add non-notable individuals such as student union office-bearers, per WP:BLP, we require reliable sources for their membership of SA. Simply having written for SA publications does not establish membership (current or otherwise). -- Lear's Fool 14:07, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

israeli working class[edit]
i removed the following section mainly because it is out of place in the "Palestine solidarity" sub-section of "campaign activity". it would be more appropriate in somewhere such as "Theoretical origins" section. it was also not sourced:
"SAlt considers the Israeli working class incapable of opposing their governments treatment of Palestinians, comparing Israelis to poor white Southerners in the US and arguing that they have a stake in the persistance of racism that cannot be overcome through class-based struggle."

2015 extreme lack of WP:NPOV and WP:RS[edit]
Papers published by political parties do not appear to meet WP:V or WP:NPOV. This article appears to have next to no WP:3PARTY, WP:RS or WP:NPOV sources, and an abundance of first party sources and OR. I'll likely start to clean the page up and remove a lot of this over the next few days- if anyone else has suggestions of where to find reliable sources that meet the criteria, that would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fractal amalthea (talk • contribs) 10:16, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
