Talk:Frank H. Peterson Academies of Technology

message: In the opening paragraph, the article states the the Skills Centers in the Duval County School system were intended for students with discipline problems. But when I was in school in Duval County, they were never presented as "Alternative" schools in that nature. They were always presented as trade and career training schools. In fact, in the sixth grade as part of learning about careers we took a field trip to Westside Skills Center, which Peterson was called. The programs they offered were what you would expect in a trade school: plumbing, electrical, law enforcement, welding, cosmetology, mechanics, etc. and we were encouraged to consider signing up to go once we were in high school, and we were an honors class! This was in 1990-1991, long before Peterson became a full fledged school. When I was in  high school, again when it was simply the "Skills Center", I knew people that went there, and they weren't discipline problems or at a prison. They went half the day to the Skills Center and the other half at their local school. As they progressed, many actually went the entire day, and received instruction part of the day, then went to work in their trade, with a local employer. I'm sure many people that participated in this program probably didn't have the aptitude to be on a traditional college bound track, and strict discipline was kept at the Centers as was every other school in the district back then. However, it is unfair to categorize the skills centers as "Alternative Schools" or "Prisons" or the students as having behavior problems.  It was, and still is a pretty good deal for someone that wanted to learn and pursue any the trades the Skills Centers offered. Furthermore, the district has actual alternative schools for students that have gotten into discipline problems, such as Darnell Cookman, which later was turned into an academic magnet middle school, Mattie V. Rutherford, and Grand Park. So I see this characterization of the Skills Centers as schools for students with discipline problems as misleading. Perhaps someone with more concrete information then just my memory of these things can clarify the history of the Skills Centers. Subwayatrain (talk) 22:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Wayne Weaver

message: I am removing the following pargraph:
:Weaver recently stated that he had no plans to sell or move the team. He plans to pass it on to his nephew Macky Weaver, who also has a home in Jacksonville, Florida and works for the team. 
My reasons are as follows:
# "recently stated" is inherently non-encyclopedic, as it is only guaranteed to be up-to-date on the day it is written
# while there is a "Mackey Weaver" listed on the Jag's website it makes no reference to his relationship to Wayne; on our own article here Mackey has been listed alternately as his son and his nephew--which is it?
#Wayne's ostensible plans to pass it on are uncited and without support, not appropriate to include here.

Talk:Underweight (stock market)

message: The financial services just love to talk in riddles, euphemisms, technobable and downright nonsense
buy         = "supposedly" good value stock (you should make money in near future)
overweight = Similar to above, shares considered likely to make money
hold        = Stock is considered a sound investment
underweight  = Stock is going nowhere - consider selling.  
sell        = Stock has little growth potential in the near term, time to sell! 
"Shares may well go down as well as up!" ;-)
Underweight
Having a lesser exposure to a particular sector in an investment portfolio, compared with a neutral or benchmark position. (As opposed to Overweight).
Underweight
Exposure of a specific asset (or asset class ) which is lower than the proportion it represents in the market index or benchmark against which the portfolio is measured. Investment managers may take underweight positions in shares or sectors they expect to under-perform in order to add value to the portfolio.
underweight
To have a smaller proportion of a fund or share portfolio in one type of investment or sector than the market benchmark or average. The opposite of "overweight"
underweight
Qualifies a holding in an index fund when the proportion of that share in the portfolio is less than the proportion for that share in the calculation of the index Category: Financial affairs - taxation - customs  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.186.28 (talk) 07:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Article should be longer?

message: This article, in my opinion, "hijacks" the subject of acoustic transmission lines.  The first short paragraph of this article is fine, but instead of going into the theory and usefulness of modeling a tube as a transmission line, the article goes directly into a description of a type of audio speaker.  People interested in modeling acoustics may be interested in the theory of acoustic waves in waveguides, and how the electrical analogy of a transmission line is used in lumped-element acoustics modeling.  However, if one searches on acoustic transmission line, one gets this page about audio speakers.  I was a senior research engineer at one of the largest audio speaker companies in the world, and we used the term "acoustic transmission line" to mean just that - it was never used to describe a type of speaker.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ad000000 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I am a newbie Wiki editor and stumbled upon this page through the Random Article feature.
Reading through this page, which ostensibly is about the origin/creation myth of several Indonesian tribes, I realized that far more of the article is dedicated to the various trading relationships and contact with outside society these tribes have had than is dedicated to the actual Hainuwele myth.
The rub is that the argument being presented posits that the Hainuwele myth either explains or is affected by these outside contacts. I am too new to this process to be able to make the determination, but would someone mind reading through this article and defining whether it is on-topic or not?
