Talk:Reston, Virginia

One of the first planned cities?

 * Reston was one of the first planned cities.

From what point of view? Nearby Washington, DC, was a planned city when most of Fairfax County was still farmland. Also, I'm virtually certain that several ancient cities were planned. (Rome after its fire comes to mind.) Unless someone can revise this to provide some context, I plan to rephrase this to something like "Reston was conceived as a planned city" and merge it with the following sentence about its founding. -- Jeff Q 06:06, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

The city was planned by Robert E. Simon, Jr. as is described in the Reston Association website. It was an experimental community planned with an explicit purpose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.4.92 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 9 July 2004

 * Reston is a town

Reston is not officially a town or a municipality within the state. It is an association and an area within the county of Fairfax. It does not, however, have a town hall which would preclude it from being a town in Virginia. (I'm not 100% sure of this requirement, but as per WashingtonPost it is not part of municipalities of Fairfax. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.168.4.92 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 9 July 2004

 * Reston was one of the first planned communities of the modern era.

This is a more accurate statement and I have changed the laguage to reflect it, as well as added citations to support this. Also, I have added the Hunter Mill Road exit as one that serves the Reston community. When I was living there it was classified as a "Reston Exit" by the Toll Road people. --Parallel or Together? 13:04, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia shows that Columbia, Maryland, another planned community, was organized in late 1963, while Reston was founded in April 1964. Also, the original owners of the main tract of land that comprised Reston had envisioned a planned community in 1933. The comments about planned communities from the ancient times is true, community planning has existed for a long, long time. Whatever is meant by "modern" is undefined. Maybe it means since WW2 or since the age of the automobile. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.0.91 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 6 August 2006

"Modern" is usually a bad term for an encyclopedia, just like "recent" etc. In this case, what it means is that Reston was one of the first examples in the USA of the "New Town" planning movement. Reston and Columbia are noted as the early examples at New town, along with the historical context that essentially explains all the early colonial settlements as "planned communities". That article is linked in the same sentence as the current version of the text above. RossPatterson 00:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Current language that it is "the first modern postwar planned community" is unsubstantiated. Coral Springs FL precedes it by a year, Peachtree City GA by more than five years. 65.120.69.253 (talk) 09:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Merge with Reston Town Center
It seems to me that the Reston Town Center article should be merged into this one. While RTC is an important component of Reston, it hardly seems worthy of an article on its own. RossPatterson 03:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. It should be merged.  Stiles 02:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not so sure about the merge. Granted, RTC is a somewhat obscure topic for a global encyclopedia. But we have plenty of those kinds of topics, and many aren't as substantial as the current RTC article. My primary concern would be ensuring that the material read more like an encyclopedia article and less like a brochure. If so, I'd support it as a separate article instead of folding into this one. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think it should be merged. RTC is part of Reston, and the artilce on RTC is not long enough to be it's own article. Also Robert E. Simon had in his masterplans for a mixed use high density area of Reston. Articnomad 22:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The RTC article is well beyond stub size, making it "long enough" by definition. The real question is whether its content deserves a separate article. I'm not clear on what Simon's master plan has to do with this issue. If you mean that the plan should be mentioned here, and that RTC is part of it, please feel free to add it to the article (preferably with a source). That doesn't mean that the RTC article should necessarily be merged in, as this new text could merely allude to the Center and provide a link to the article for more details, which is standard WP practice. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I disagree with the merge, for similar reasons as Jeff Q: Wikipedia has plenty of articles (and even a category) on shopping malls. RTC should be mentioned and linked from this article, but should remain separate.  VT hawkeye talk to me 02:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, considering the length of the Town Center article, and all of the articles in Category:Shopping malls in the United States, I'm reluctant to merge. -LtNOWIS 04:27, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, it's been more than a month and there's no consensus pro or con on the merge. I'm withdrawing the suggestion. RossPatterson 01:36, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Top picture
The reference to the "Paramount" condominiums is in error. The buildings shown in the picture are the Midtown Reston Condominium buildings. Dagman1 (talk) 16:12, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

That new picture is horrible. There is no light on the tall building. --Howdybob 10:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I reverted it. The new picture needs major adjustment it is to have a chance of being suitable. --Howdybob 10:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Greetings! I replaced the pictures on the Reston article. The one you reverted to is marked as a copyvio and up for deletion. Additionally, the new pictures are much better (look at the full-size version; the older one is a just a web-resolution picture, probably because it was yanked from the web); it doesn't appear too dark on my monitor, either. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 13:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I turned my monitor up all the way, uncomfortably so, and there is indeed some detail, but it is much darker than the other pictures on the page. I'll leave it if there's nothing else but it's not good. I'm copying these two comments from my talk page onto the Reston, VA talk page. --Howdybob 18:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It does indeed look a bit dark thumbnailed because of the high contrast, and I will improve that later... but based on your comment above, it seems that there is something wrong with your monitor. "Some detail" ? You can count the plants on the balconies and read the signs in most of the storefront windows!  --Gmaxwell 19:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's been adjusted, and now the brightness and contrast are fine. Looks a little unnatural and maybe too green, but it's good enough. --Howdybob 09:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually it does look a little washed out now. Maybe I was wrong, or maby it was adjusted too far. --Howdybob 05:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Rtcatmidtown.jpg|100px|thumb|This is the image I was referencing.]]Sorry, it's a new top picture, the old one had been removed. Someone else felt that the image of Condos at Reston Town Center didn't properly represent Reston, so he moved the one of Lake Anne to the top. What do you say, move the condominium picture to the top? Signed - Joshua Davis (articnomad) 12:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm talking about the Lake Anne picture, all this is about that one. --Howdybob 13:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * The "Lake Anne plaza" picture of Washington Plaza has been the "top picture" since Joshua (Articnomad) replaced the Hickory Cluster picture on March 21, 2007, except for a brief appearance by the Dulles Toll Road. The Washington Plaza picture is perfectly nice, although it could stand being thumbnailed a little larger, as are rest of the pictures in this article.  It's bright — brighter than everything else except the Paramount condos picture (which focuses more on the red roses than the building :-) ). It seems like a good starting image for a Reston article, and it has the benefit of showing the very first section of Reston (the distillery doesn't count, it was there beforehand). Full disclosure: I think I'm the  "Someone else" that Joshua mentioned above, although I was advocating for the Hickory Cluster picture. RossPatterson 17:30, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Central Business District
Sure Reston doesn't have a traditional bussines district, but other areas such as Plaza America, and the office buildings between the 267 and the Town Center aren't officially part of the Town Center. My question is what would be an acceptable sentence to call this area?Articnomad 22:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Acutally, the 267 corridor is the Reston CBD and was intended to be so. The 1962 Master Plan called for an "industrial" district on both sides of the "Airport Access Highway" — i.e., the area between Sunrise Valley Drive and Sunset Hills Road — and extending up and down the east side of the "Outer Circumferential Highway" (Fairfax County Parkway) between Glade Drive and  Baron Cameron Drive. RossPatterson 17:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

GA review
I found this article generally easy to read, understand and informative. Also, the images are well done and add much to the article. With that said, there are three significant areas that need to be addressed before it should advance to GA status: (1) Improve the Lead; (2) Support all statements with reliable sources and standardize footnotes using inline citations and standard templates; and (3) Merge duplicated info and links from the See also and External links sections into the body of the article. Since the article is "broad in its coverage", fairly stable, and appears to be WP:NPOV (with a qualification as described below), a modicum of additional effort should bring it along quickly so it can be considered for GA again soon.

 * GA review (see here for criteria)

 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * 1) It is stable.
 * 2) It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * 1) Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Lead
The Lead is interesting and should catch the reader's attention without problem, but it does not serve as "a concise overview of the article . . . summarizing its most important points". Much of what is mentioned in the Lead is not supported in the body of the article. For example, the Lead references the number of Fortune 500 companies in Reston, but the statements are not supported elsewhere. Similarly the statement about Reston being "an internationally known planned community that revolutionized post-World War II concepts of land use" is not supported or discussed later. The Lead is meant to summarize the article and all content should be expanded and sourced in subsequent sections. Also, there is room to expand the Lead, covering more material.

Sourcing and NPOV
Too much of the article contains statements that are unsourced for this to go GA at this point. Of the nine main sections, only History has adequate reliable sources; a pretty good job was done on this topic. However, significant areas — such as Proposed town status, Population history of Reston, Local media, Ebola, Guiding principles, Geography, Education, and Demographics — have virtually no supporting sources at all. Some of them even have quoted phrases ("award-winning Reston Community Players" and "guiding principles") with no cite for them. Demographics references the Census Bureau, but a specific link should be provided. All of these sections need substantial sourcing.

Additionally, the Cultural and other activities and Transportation sections not only need sources, but should be rewritten. Their tone differs noticeably from that of the other sections, making them almost sound like PR pieces. Related to this is the possibility of COPYVIO issues. Much of these sections also appears in a copyrighted blurb advertising apartments (www.apartmentsearch.com/apartments/Virginia/Reston.htm). There's really no way to tell who copied whom, but it doesn't help that these sections actually do sound like an advertisement.

The citation information varied from footnote to footnote, as different editors used different styles. I suggest using standard templates to ensure consistency and completeness.

Merging copy
Move any duplicated material in the See also and External links sections into the body of the article. There are too many external links and their descriptions should be more informative (use cite templates for these to ensure consistency and completeness). I would think some of those external links can be used as sources for article content. Also, two of the three See also links are already in the article, and I bet the third one can be merged into the body as well.

The only other opportunities for improvement I see are clarification and making some areas a bit more concise, removing some excessive detail. I'm uncomfortable with using the word "unofficial" for population figures in the Lead. The paragraph about Wiehle mentions his "sons didn't share his vision", but never tells us what his vision wass. The paragraph about traffic congestion is a bit convoluted and could be tightened. Finally, an encyclopedia article doesn't really need to include bus fare info.

I removed all forced image arguments from the image links per MoS.

I hope this helps. My praise to all the editors who contributed to what will become a GA article: Good job. Please feel free to ask me for clarification on any points. Jim Dunning | talk  06:11, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

A Tribe Apart
Um, I don't claim to know much about the city of Reston, Virgina. But I would like to add that it might be worth mentioning that Reston is the setting of Patricia Hersch's highly acclaimed book, A Tribe Apart. Then again, if you think that this might threathen the privacy of individuals living there, well....I'll let you guys decide. But I just read this most amazing book, and I was surprised to see that this very important non-fiction journalistic study that took place here was not mentioned. That's all. 144.26.129.2 (talk) 06:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a "see also" or similar linkage would apply. Technically (in the context of the Reston topic), it's trivia. Tedickey (talk) 10:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Population rank in Virginia
Now that Reston is ahead of Burke in terms of city population of Virginia, is it the 14th most populous, or still 15th, and not ahead of Burke?... 76.111.67.200 (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Reston is a named unincorporated place within Fairfax County (not a city). Ditto for Burke. Tedickey (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Shopping center discussion
Hunters Woods shopping center was revised in the late 1990s from a pedestrian-centered mall to a more conventional strip mall. This was controversial at the time and some people are, apparently, still dwelling on it. It even included a (radical for Reston) drive-through Burger King. However, at about the same time, Tall Oaks Shopping Center underwent a very similar change. Namely, a pedestrian courtyard was removed and a series of offices and spaces were eliminated so a more conventional automobile-friendly -- including, of all things, a drive-through Burger King.

Commercial property undergoes facelifts all the time; it's the nature of the beast. There is no need to mention either of these in the main article -- which is why I have deleted them. Kazari (talk) 03:20, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Most of Hunters Woods was demolished (excepting the Safeway store, which was extended by about 60% - but generally not into the demolished area - the extension largely encroaches on the neighboring property), all trees removed, and the parking lot extended (both toward the road, as well as about 1/3 of the area covered by Hunters Woods shopping center). That's (eyeing the map) about 80% change.  Less than 20% of Tall Oaks was changed (about 10% extension to the north, and one store removed on the south.  The "dwelling on it" part comment probably refers to the Fellowship House apartments which are outside the area we're discussing.  Hmm - thinking back, a drive-thru also was there before (on the southwest corner).  Isaac Newton Square had a McDonalds (your comment regarding "radical for Reston" may require a source if it's not your personal opinion).  As noted in the comment which you deleted, the other village centers are relatively untouched.  (A casual visitor to Tall Oaks may not notice the one removed store). Tedickey (talk) 11:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, the given that this is a discussion, I'm going to stick with my smarmy comment. The McDonald's across from Hunters Woods tried for more than a decade to get a waiver to install a drive-through, to no avail, and ended up closing instead. It is difficult to get such things past the Reston Design and Review Board and Fairfax County.

 * I don't know where you're getting the impression that one store was altered at Tall Oaks. That is not the case. There was an extensive courtyard, a bank, a restaurant and a veterinary clinic on the left side as you are looking at it from the parking lot. They were all destroyed. That space was replaced by a Burger King (now vacant) and the other tenants that were forced to move. Even now Tall Oaks is in flux as they have added another outbuilding and the major tenant has changed, as well. Someone who visited the shopping center in 1996 would hardly recognize the 2009 version -- it's that different.

 * And I would concur that the same could be said for Hunters Woods.

 * This is the nature of commercial property.

 * What I'm asking here is why it's relevant in an encyclopedic entry about Reston. I'm sure you could pull a source showing what happened -- as could I -- but why does it matter to someone learning about Reston what trees and refurbishments were made to a commercial shopping center more than 10 years ago?
 * Kazari (talk) 17:44, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I recalled the development plan for Tall Oaks, and checked it via google maps (which still shows a partial court in that part of the shopping center). You apparently have some different impression.  The rest of your response is nonresponsive (though you seem to have characterized it properly at the beginning).  Tedickey (talk) 17:52, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * As you have said many times, personal attacks reflect on the writer.

 * I'm sorry that you are/were unable to visit the shopping center to see what I am talking about. My response explains that Tall Oaks had an equally disruptive change to it. I lived through it and I know what I am talking about. The entire tone of the shopping center was changed. I mentioned it because you have singled out a shopping center in your insertions; I am demonstrating that another equally disruptive change happened to another equally important shopping center in the SAME town. Both are irrelevant to the Reston article.

 * I will repeat my question, to which YOUR answers have non-responsive: Why is it relevant in an encyclopedic entry about Reston that a supermarket was expanded and that trees were removed from a shopping center more than ten years ago?

 * I would posit that it is irrelevant and should be omitted. The reason I would give is that changes to commercial property happen all the time -- especially at shopping centers. The look of them, the stores within them are irrelevant to an article about a town. What IS relevant is that someone name them, write what year they opened and perhaps add what anchors they have.

 * Kazari (talk) 22:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The dispute is this: You keep equating the changes to Tall Oaks and to Hunters Woods (apparently biased because you were directly impacted by the lesser changes to the former). Try to factor out your bias and review the actual amount of change.  Tedickey (talk) 22:50, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Your response is nonresponsive. And again you continue with personalizing this.
 * I keep bringing up Tall Oaks because I know that it doesn't rise to the level of being included in the article. Nor does Hunters Woods.
 * I ask a third time: Why is it relevant in an encyclopedic entry about Reston that a supermarket was expanded and that trees were removed from a shopping center more than ten years ago?
 * Kazari (talk) 01:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm only interested in the disputed statement, not your motivation for removing the text. Back to facts - while the change to Tall Oaks is relatively much smaller than that to Hunters Woods, it also is quantitatively much smaller, owing to the fact that Tall Oaks is smaller.  For comparison, see the tax records Tall Oaks and Hunters Woods.  You could see the difference on google map, however your response to my comment there verged on being a personal attack.  Try to limit that. Tedickey (talk) 11:08, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So we're agreed then that the statement about Hunters Woods should not appear in the Reston article? If so, we're done here and I thank you.
 * I find a comparison of Tall Oaks and Hunters Woods uninteresting and only inserted it for comparison.
 * Kazari (talk) 15:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, a separate topic dealing with development in Reston would be of interest to many readers, and in that, Hunters Woods would be a notable incident, Tall Oaks not. Tedickey (talk) 08:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * While it's of interest to you, I don't believe it's of interest to many readers, especially those trying to learn about Reston. I'm going to withhold judgment on it until you write it, of course. Why is it relevant in an encyclopedic entry about Reston that a supermarket was expanded and that trees were removed from a shopping center more than ten years ago?Kazari (talk) 00:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

 * By comparison with the typical WP-topic, it's not a problem. Tedickey (talk) 00:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You continue to ignore my fundamental question. Why is it relevant in an encyclopedic entry about Reston that a supermarket was expanded and that trees were removed from a shopping center more than ten years ago?Kazari (talk) 03:03, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Recentisms and promotional edits
Some of the edits are unnecessarily focused on relatively minor issues, to promote specific entities. To put the Rolls Royce comments into better perspective, bear in mind that those are only a couple of dozen people out of the roughly 65,000 in the area. Checking google for "rolls royce" moves to Reston finds older mentions (which contradict the "recently" used to accentuate the promotion, such as from Chantilly in 2008, and from Connecticut in 1989. Toning down the promotionalisms would improve the topic and get more attention from readers Tedickey (talk) 20:46, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * This article has too many statements that are not from an NPOV. For instance, the statement that Reston is "undeniably a central business district" (paraphrasing) was inappropriate and I removed it. I don't know which user has been doing this but somebody ought to find out and take action against them. --BLM Platinum 22:33, 20 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BLM Platinum (talk • contribs)

Oil Companies?
I find it interesting that there's no mention of the oil company involvement in Reston's history. In 1967, Gulf Oil was one of the major investors and "saved the project". In 1978, Mobil acquired the undeveloped land from Gulf. History of Reston Da Next Pope (talk) 19:29, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Kazakh Americans
Kazakh Americans form a community in Reston according to the article on them, but they are not mentioned here. Kdammers (talk) 07:20, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

 * A large percentage of the demographic information across Wikipedia is poorly sourced (likely untrue, put there for promotional purposes). In the article you mention, the ostensible source goes to a site which Sophos blocks, saying that it's infected.  Perhaps you could find a reliable source of information for discussion. TEDickey (talk) 11:12, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean.  The US census data for the county only lists ~10K Asians in R, and no mention of K-speakers.  Maybe the KA article should be changed, or have ref-needed note. Kdammers (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

 * no problem (checking the sources is a good start) TEDickey (talk) 00:21, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

towncharts source
The dates used for this source don't match the actual source (e.g., 2019 vs 2017 and 2018), and since secondary sources tend to "improve" the boundaries for locations, the actual census data is preferred TEDickey (talk) 00:01, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I had mistakenly removed that line in one edit and then added it back... I'm not sure who originally put that source. I agree that census.gov would be the best source. I can correct with the 2018 ACS estimate data that I used in the infobox, or just use the 2010 census data in the lead. 2010 Census is the most reliable (but dated) until the 2020 data comes out next year.

Notable local organizations
Notable to whom? There are no supporting references at all in this section, which has had a maintenance tag for almost three years now. As is, it's a collection of direct links to primary sources, some of which are Facebook or blogspot/wordpress pages. This is not appropriate for Wikipedia. See WP:NOTDIR, WP:EL, and WP:ELREG. I would like to, at the very least, remove the direct external links, but preferably remove this whole section. If anyone disagrees with removing the section, I invite you to provide appropriate references that establish the notability of these local organizations. Reston Association and RCC are established elsewhere in the article, but there is no real need to list them again here. Does anyone else have thoughts on this subject?

Mirsad Fazlagić

Mirsad Fazlagić (born 4 April 1943) is a Bosnian retired professional football player and manager. He played as a full-back.

Club career
Fazlagić started his football career in the youth setup of his local hometown team Čapljina in 1957. As a talented seventeen year old, he was acquired by Yugoslav First League side FK Željezničar, where he also made his debut in the top tier of Yugoslav football. After one season with the blues he made a switch to bitter city rivals FK Sarajevo in the summer of 1960. The team led by prolific scorer Asim Ferhatović finished fourth in the league during the 1963–64 season, with Fazlagić establishing himself as the team's starting right-back. Two years later the maroon-whites finished runners-up behind FK Partizan and eventually went on to win the league during the 1966–67 season, with him captaining the outfit. FK Sarajevo was narrowly beaten by Manchester United in the 1967–68 European Cup second round, despite hosting a goalless draw in the first leg. The second leg played at Old Trafford ended in controversy after the ball went out of bounds prior to the hosts scoring the winning goal. After signing a pre-contract with Juventus in the fall of 1971, which would have made him the most expensive defender in history until that point, he suffered a horrendous knee injury and the transfer fell through. After recovering for nearly a year, he was again fielded by then-FK Sarajevo manager Srboljub Markušević. He retired prematurely in 1975 having played 404 matches for FK Sarajevo while finding the back of the net 10 times. His farewell match for the club was against Sporting CP at the Stadium Koševo, a 2–2 draw.

International career

On the international stage, Fazlagić made 19 appearances for Yugoslavia, earning his first cap in a European Championship qualification match on 31 March 1963 against Belgium (1–0). He is especially known internationally for being the captain of Yugoslavia during the 1968 European Football Championship, where the side took silver after a tight loss to the home team Italy after a two-legged final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. He was named part of the tournament's All-star team. He also took part in the 1964 Summer Olympics. His final international was that June 1968 final loss against Italy.

Managerial career
In 1974, Fazlagić was named player-manager of FK Sarajevo, which he led for one season, eventually being transferred to the club's youth department in order to gain more coaching experience. After eight years of managing the youth teams, he was named assistant manager to former club and international teammate Boško Antić. The pair led a talented team of youngsters, including the likes of Faruk Hadžibegić, Husref Musemić, Slaviša Vukičević, Predrag Pašić and Zijad Švrakić, to the Yugoslav First League title in 1985, thus becoming champions both as players and as managers. In 1986, he was named assistant to Mirko Jozić in the Yugoslavia under-20 team, taking the side to the 1987 FIFA World Youth Championship in Chile. The team, fielding many future European stars including Zvonimir Boban, Robert Prosinečki, Davor Šuker and Predrag Mijatović, lifted the trophy. In 1988, he had a brief stint in Melbourne, Australia with Footscray JUST in the National Soccer League. From 1989 to 1990, he also managed Anorthosis Famagusta FC in the Cypriot First Division. With the start of the Bosnian war and the Siege of Sarajevo in 1992, Fazlagić rejoined FK Sarajevo and took part in the club's famous 1993–94 World tour, with the goal of garnering support and international aid for the newly independent state. After the end of the war he worked as a manager in Kuwait.

Personal life
His son-in-law, Mirza Varešanović is a former Bosnia and Herzegovina international player and current manager. His grandsons Mak and Dal Varešanović are professional footballers.

Future sub-catagories

All of the articles on this page need to be put in the following catagories

 * - Should contain all battles and operations
 * - People related to the war
 * Subcatagories of :, , , etc
 * - any lines, or large groupings of soliders

This page should be reserved for large, over-encompasing articles. →Raul654 06:07, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

The name "World War II groups and lines" is not really a good one. There has to be a better sounding, more comprehensible alternative. --GeneralPatton 03:59, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Also, Category:World War II operations and battles is severely overlapping with Category:World War II campaigns and theatres while a thing like the Holocaust isn't even covered.--GeneralPatton 01:56, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Generally, theatres, campaigns, operations, and battles are four different levels of military events:
 * A theatre is a large geographical area representing high-level objectives. It exists for the duration of the conflict, even if not the scene of active fighting all the time.
 * A campaign is a series of operations or battles fought to obtain an objective. A campaign can cover an entire theatre, but usually covers a specific area both geographically and in time.  When the series comes to an end, the campaign is over.  Thus multiple campaigns can cover the same ground in the same war, just at different times.
 * An operation can be any size, but is a specific plan put into action by one or more of the participants. This may or may not result in battle(s).  Operations are usually focussed on the actions of the planning participant.
 * A battle is a specific engagement between military forces, delineated by geography and time, as well as where it falls in operational scope.
 * Granted there is a good deal of grey area between them, but I think delineating between theatres and campaigns on one hand and battles and operations on the other makes sense, as the former is more strategic and 'grand-plan' level, while the later is more tactical, 'troops-on-the-ground' level.
 * Also note that sometimes the common name may belie the reality. For example, the Battle of Britain is much more accurately placed in the category of a campaign.  The same is true for the Battle of the Atlantic (this could even be considered a theatre).

By whatever name
... you call it, there needs to be a battles of WW2 Category AND LIST of. Trying to check/get one name just cost me 20 minutes, and I'm still not experiencing joy. // Fra nkB 00:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed...the situation isn't optimal. I am a bit out of touch on current categorization (probably haven't touched these categories for a year) as I've been working on naval ships for the most part, so I probably can't offer anything to the debate at the moment.  Josh 00:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

 * No one else seems to be looking in, so I'll post a message on the Military history project to see if some informed talent wants in, or whether there is some scheme in place not documented here, or whether I should start whittling on this branch and try to make it into an artifact of somekind! // Fra nkB 13:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

List edge-coloring

In mathematics, list edge-coloring is a type of graph coloring that combines list coloring and edge coloring. An instance of a list edge-coloring problem consists of a graph together with a list of allowed colors for each edge. A list edge-coloring is a choice of a color for each edge, from its list of allowed colors; a coloring is proper if no two adjacent edges receive the same color.

A graph G is k-edge-choosable if every instance of list edge-coloring that has G as its underlying graph and that provides at least k allowed colors for each edge of G has a proper coloring. The edge choosability, or list edge colorability, list edge chromatic number, or list chromatic index, ch(G) of graph G is the least number k such that G is k-edge-choosable. It is conjectured that it always equals the chromatic index.

Properties
Some properties of ch(G): Here χ(G) is the chromatic index of G; and Kn,n, the complete bipartite graph with equal partite sets.
 * 1) ch(G) < 2 χ(G).
 * 2) ch(Kn,n) = n.  This is the Dinitz conjecture, proven by.
 * 3) ch(G) < (1 + o(1))χ(G), i.e. the list chromatic index and the chromatic index agree asymptotically.

List coloring conjecture
The most famous open problem about list edge-coloring is probably the list coloring conjecture.

 * ch(G) = χ(G).

This conjecture has a fuzzy origin; overview its history. The Dinitz conjecture, proven by, is the special case of the list coloring conjecture for the complete bipartite graphs Kn,n.

Cable & Deadpool

Cable & Deadpool was a comic book series published by Marvel Comics beginning in 2004. The title characters, Cable and Deadpool, share the book's focus. The series was launched following the cancellation of the characters' previous ongoing solo series. The book's mix of humor, action, and intricate plotting has won it a devoted fanbase. Marvel Comics canceled the series with issue #50 to make way for a new Deadpool ongoing series that began on September 10, 2008, and a new Cable ongoing series launched in March 2008. Cable & Deadpool were ranked #7 on Marvel.com's list of "The 10 Greatest Buddy Teams" of all time.

Main characters

 * Cable (Nathan Dayspring Askani’son Summers) is the time-traveling son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor (a clone of Jean Grey). Cable, having mutant powers and knowing what the future could be, is trying to bring about a better world.
 * Deadpool (Wade Wilson) is a talkative mercenary for hire known as the "Merc with a Mouth". Like Wolverine, he is a subject of the Weapon X experiment for which he volunteered in the hopes of finding a cure for his cancer. Although he received an enhanced body from the project, the cancer was not cured, he went insane, and his skin became covered in hideous scars. Deadpool helps to further Cable's plans, sometimes unwittingly.

Minor and recurring characters

 * Agent X (Alex Hayden) was injected with the "American Gene" during a botched mission infiltrating a HYDRA base, making him incredibly obese. He appointed Deadpool as the head of his mercenary organization, Agency X, while he is getting back in shape.
 * The Black Box (Garabed Bashur), a one-time information broker, worked for Cable in hopes of changing the world. He was killed by Sabretooth.
 * Bob, Agent of HYDRA is an average HYDRA agent pressed into service by Deadpool during his mission to rescue Agent X. He now works with Agency X.
 * Domino is the on/off confidante, lover, and teammate of Cable. She knows Cable better than most and is scared and excited about what might happen if he succeeds.
 * Nick Fury is the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury appears early in the series after Cable threatens to use his out-of-control telekinesis to throw all the world's nuclear weapons into space. Later, he sends Captain America to infiltrate Providence.
 * Prester John, time-displaced from the past, operates Providence's multi-religious studies program and occasionally ends up fighting to defend Providence.
 * Johann Kriek, a former Interpol operative, is now the Chief of Security for Providence.
 * Irene Merryweather, a former reporter for the Daily Bugle, is now the Chief of Staff on Providence and Cable's chronicler.
 * Rabbi Rosen is a Rabbi aboard Providence. Rosen tends to offer advice where he can.
 * Weasel is a technological genius and one of Deadpool's best friends. Weasel aids in some of Deadpool's activities.
 * Outlaw (Inez Temple) is an attractive and short-tempered mercenary from Texas who is currently employed by Agency X. She is a mutant with enhanced durability, speed, and incredible accuracy with firearms (even rivaling Bullseye in terms of targeting skills). She is a descendant of the Outlaw Kid and dresses in a cowgirl motif.
 * Sandi Brandenberg is the secretary of Agency X, as well as a former love interest to both Deadpool and Agent X. She is currently the girlfriend of the Taskmaster. She was recently kidnapped and kept bound and gagged along with Outlaw by T-Ray, but was rescued by Deadpool.
 * Six Pack is a group of mercenaries hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. to watch over Cable. They are: G. W. Bridge, Hammer, Domino, Solo, Anaconda, and Constrictor.

Recap page
Starting with issue #11, Cable & Deadpool opens each book with a unique recap page. This page, usually presented by Deadpool and occasionally with Cable or by/with the book's supporting characters, villains, and guest stars, breaks the fourth wall and literally talks to the audience. Keeping with the book's tone, the recap page is usually funny, often with Deadpool having to explain what the fourth wall is to other characters on the page. From issue #44, the recap pages have been in the form of an online blog as written by Bob, Agent of HYDRA.

Dear Deadpool
Issue #13 saw the start of "Dear Deadpool", a letters page seemingly hosted by Deadpool himself. Like the recap page, "Dear Deadpool" is often comical and has Deadpool breaking the fourth wall. In this section, Deadpool frequently refers to not only the characters in this comic, but often mentions (and makes fun of) the creators, as well as various conventions of Marvel Comics and the comics industry in general. He even goes so far as to refer to "the man who types my answers". A running gag features Deadpool's excitement over a typical feature of comic book fan letters: a numbered list of questions. This would prompt the response, "Ooh, numbered questions!" In 2006, Wizard Magazine named "Dear Deadpool" as "the Funniest Letters Page in Comics".

If Looks Could Kill
"If Looks Could Kill" (issues #1-6) brings Cable and Deadpool together (literally). In this first story arc, Deadpool is hired by "The One World Church" to steal a virus that will allow them to turn everyone on Earth blue. Meanwhile, Cable is trying to figure how to best use his newly enhanced mutant powers to help change the world. Through a series of events, both Cable and Deadpool end up back at "The One World Church" where they are both infected by the virus. In order for them both to survive, Cable absorbs and then throws up Deadpool which ends up mixing their DNA. Cable eventually takes control of the virus and uses it to turn the entire world pink. A couple of days later, Cable restores everyone to their original color, and takes credit for this calling himself their "Saviour". During this, Cable uses his enhanced powers to rebuild his space station, Graymalkin, which includes a teleportation system. Because of the mixing of their DNA, both Cable and Deadpool can teleport, but when one does it he takes the other with him.

Burnt offering
In "The Burnt Offering" (issues #7-10, originally known as "The Passion of the Cable"), Cable continues with his plan to espouse a philosophy of moderation, and offers invitations to the world's top thinkers, scientists and philosophers to live on Providence (the recently rebuilt Graymalkin) in the face of a nervous S.H.I.E.L.D. Delivering a stark message to the world's leaders, he deliberately sets them all against him by threatening to throw their missiles into the sun. Meanwhile, the X-Men, including Cable’s father Cyclops, hire Deadpool to gather pieces of a mini-teleporter in order to stop Cable. After they mounted an attack on Providence, Cable confesses to Deadpool that he'd wanted to be killed in order to set an example of how the world could work together, even if it were against him. After being injured by the Silver Surfer, Cable has Deadpool use the mini-teleporter to lobotomize Cable in order to save him from burning out as X-Man had. With the last of his powers, Cable left the world a final message of what the world could be if everyone tried a bit harder to make it a better place.

Thirty pieces
During "Thirty Pieces" (issues #11-12), Deadpool goes on a quest to save Cable’s life. After obtaining a techno-organic alien from MODOK, Deadpool tracks down the Fixer in hopes that he would be able to fix Cable. Along the way, Deadpool battles Agent X who was hired by what appears to be a religious organization to track Deadpool in order to prevent the ‘resurrection’ of Cable. After having the alien grafted to his body, Cable, who is comatose and trapped in a dreamscape with the Six Pack, overcomes the alien’s brain and heals himself, though he still extremely depowered.

Murder in Paradise
"A Murder in Paradise" (issues #13-14) starts on Providence with the murder mystery of Haji Bin Barat, the world’s most wanted terrorist. Deadpool insists on being involved in the investigation, but Irene Merryweather takes charge. Eventually Deadpool, and everyone else, realizes that he was the only person that could have killed Barat. Following a fight with Prestor John, Cable confronts Deadpool, who admits he cannot remember killing Barat. Although Cable wants to help Deadpool, he tells him he has to leave the island until he gets back from a mission with X-Force. Deadpool leaves Providence in search of the Black Box whom he hopes can find a way to kill him.

Enema of the State
"Enema of the State" (issues #15-18) takes place after the end of the X-Force miniseries where Cable vanished after defeating the mutant-hunting Skornn. After finding and being brainwashed by the Black Box to kill Cable, Deadpool returns to Providence where he finds Siryn and 'Cannonball' (Deadpool loses some respect for Sam Guthrie on learning his true codename) who are also looking for Cable. With the help of Forge, Deadpool uses a modified version of the teleportation device to track down Cable through various dimensions with Siryn and Cannonball following three minutes behind. The group travels through these dimensions finding Cable as a Horseman of Apocalypse (War); a messiah-like, benevolent dictator; and the central conscience of a Phalanx invasion of Earth. Finally in the House of M reality, Deadpool finds a baby version of Cable in the care of Mister Sinister. After the House of M reality fades, Cable starts to age and his memory is restored. He then burns out his restored powers to ‘fix’ Deadpool’s mind. With Cable depowered and still in his teens, Deadpool teleports them both to Intercourse, PA.

Why, When I Was Your Age
"Why, When I Was Your Age..." (issue #19) picks up with Deadpool taking Cable to Intercourse, PA, with hopes that the city will live up to its name. While at a bar, Cable talks about growing up in the future, and Deadpool discusses the death of his father. At the end of the night, Cable is fully aged, and neither of the two wish to discuss what actually happened in their past.

Bosom Buddies
In "Bosom Buddies" (issues #20-23), Deadpool is hired to steal the Dominus Objective, a secondary hard drive that acts like a virus that acts like a server. While Deadpool is out to steal the Objective, he ends up fighting both the B.A.D. Girls, Luke Cage and Iron Fist only to discover that the Dominus Project had already been stolen. Later, The B.A.D. Girls confront Shen Kuei (The Cat) who actually stole the Dominus Objective. The Cat reveals to them it was the Black Box who hired him originally, though it was Cable who paid him, as well as who hired them and Deadpool. In the final confrontation, Cable links with Dominus Objective which gives him a new power similar to his telepathy. When everything is settled, Black Box decides to work for Cable.

Sticky Situations and Living Legends
In "Sticky Situations" and "Living Legends" (issues #24 & 25), Deadpool is hired to steal plans for a secret government project called the "Cone of Silence", which was originally designed as a force field to cut off Providence from the rest of the world. During his escapades, Deadpool ends up briefly fighting Spider-Man before finally getting the plans. After realizing that it was probably Cable who had the plans stolen, Nick Fury sends Captain America to infiltrate Providence. Captain America finds Providence to be a peaceful place and learns of Cable's past and his plans to change the future. During a fight between Cable and Captain America, Cable reveals that he has used the "Cone of Silence" to create a technological replacement for his telekinesis.

Born Again
In "Born Again" (issues #26 & 27), the story reveals the hidden past connections between Apocalypse and Cable, specifically that it was Cable who infected Apocalypse with the techno-organic virus that Apocalypse would pass on to Cable as an infant.

The Domino Principle
In "The Domino Principle" (issues #28 & 29), Cable employs Deadpool to remove Flag-Smasher as the ruler of Rumekistan. Flag-Smasher had become ruler in the mini-series Citizen V & The V-Battalion: The Everlasting, also written by Fabian Nicieza. The coup becomes complicated with the separate interferences of Citizen V and Cable's old love interest, Domino. Although Cable successfully manipulates Domino into assassinating Flag-Smasher, he finds his own resolve shaken when faced with his ex-lover's doubts about his agenda.

Civil War
In the "Civil War" story arc, Deadpool has been given the job of hunting down super-powered individuals who have not signed the Superhuman Registration Act. There is a confrontation between Cable and Deadpool in which Cable reveals that he will be fostering superheroes in Providence. When Cable meets Captain America to extend this offer, Cap refuses. Cable tries to convince him by revealing what he knows about the Secret Avengers' secret identities. This gesture does not go unnoticed by Deadpool, who is watching them from a nearby rooftop and notes Daredevil's new identity. He attacks Daredevil in a warehouse, and is himself attacked by members of the Secret Avengers and the Young Avengers. Cable attempts to intervene and convince Deadpool to join their cause by offering him a bigger paycheck (and when Deadpool refuses, a bigger badge). This fails when Deadpool tries to shoot Cable with tranquilizer darts, which Cable deflects into Wade's face. Wade wakes up bound and gagged (with a full body covering of duct tape, after Cable suggested an entire roll for his mouth alone) in the warehouse before Cable reappears, setting him free and taking him along to the White House to meet with the American President about the possible repercussions of the superhero registration act. When the President orders hostilities on Cable (Deadpool had briefly left to go to the bathroom), he and Deadpool shift out before anyone can get harmed. They arrive in the countryside, where Deadpool attacks (following the President's orders) Cable. After a brief fight, Cable reveals the fight to have been staged and televised in order to lose Deadpool his job as a government agent. The arc ends with a very uneasy truce between the two men.

Six Packs and Powder Kegs
In "Six Packs and Powder Kegs" (issue 33 - 35) story arc, a massive explosions rocks Cable's island paradise of Providence. Bodysliding back from Rumekistan (which he has been working to install democracy within), Cable finds that a saboteur may still be hidden on the island. His search for the bomber is stopped when he finds reports that the United States, along with several European allies, have sent the mercenary group Six Pack into Rumekistan to disrupt the peace. Cable arrives and attempts to stop the group, only to note that there are five members present. The mysterious sixth member and the terrorist bomber on Providence? Deadpool, who shoots Cable in the back of the head while his personal force field is down. Cable is knocked unconscious, but not killed. Domino is upset at Deadpools actions, and the Six Pack leaves Cable lying in the street. He is recovered by the citizens of the city while the Six Pack plan to de-power the country goes through. While news reports of the happenings in both Rumekistan and Providence are aired, Cable's seemingly unconscious body seems to take power from one of the few remaining sources, the hospital that his citizens were taking him to. Cable's body levitates, and he ends up using his technology to repair the damage done by the Six Pack. Conscious again, he tracks down the Six Pack. Domino asserts that Cable acts as if he'd planned the entire thing from the start. Cable tells them that in order to do so, he'd need the ability to read minds or at least be "able to predict the future." Telling Deadpool to "Get the Hell out of my country and never come back!" he throws Deadpool from Rumekistan, while keeping the rest of the Six Pack disabled. He then has Domino explain the happenings on TV, while Deadpool thinks it was all to punish him for opposing Cable during the Civil War. Cable and Domino then share a kiss. In the letters page, Deadpool is upset at his depiction on the next issue's cover, and asserts that it should be both an epilogue to this arc and a prologue to the next arc which should center around him.

Unfinished Business
In "Unfinished Business" (issue 36 - 39) Deadpool has to find a way to get his reputation back for being one of the best mercenaries for hire. After consulting Blind Al for validation of his plan, and getting Weasel to help him with the preparations, he kidnaps a mother and two children from a highway rest stop at 2 in the morning, setting them tied up in the middle of the road forcing a large armored truck to stop and investigate. He then proceeds to knock out the guards and blow a hole in the back of the truck with a bazooka, thus freeing a well known mercenary and trainer of supervillain henchmen, Taskmaster. He tells Taskmaster (whom he affectionately calls 'Tasky') that he won't owe him anything. He simply wants a trade. His freedom, in exchange for a fight with Deadpool. He explains that he wants to have the bout where "Insidious, malevolent, Machiavellian people who do the hiring for our kind are gathered." He then promptly knocks Taskmaster unconscious so as to skip a lot of explaining and move right onto the fight. It turns out that he kidnapped a select group of the kinds of people who hire mercenaries, and has Weasel show them the fight on a projector. He has himself manacled and fights Taskmaster, all the while spouting comments about his abilities as though the captives were watching an advertisement. Even though Taskmaster stabs him straight through the chest, Deadpool comes out on top, returning the battered opponent and himself to the room where the men are held. His plan fails however, as they are just as reluctant to hire him as ever. Taskmaster re-awakens and Deadpool thanks him for letting him win. Taskmaster then tells Deadpool that he didn't let him win, saying "The truth is... You're that good. You've always been that good. Which won't get you a cup of coffee until you figure out how to be a professional..." He then leaves and Deadpool is left to reflect on this as he realizes that neither he nor Weasel have the keys to his handcuffs. Two weeks later, a still handcuffed Deadpool struggled with a twist top beer, and while watching the news, hears that Rhino has escaped. This strikes him with the revelation that if he can't be a mercenary, he'll become a superhero.

However, Rhino has hired someone to feed Deadpool Henry Pym's pills after hearing that Deadpool was after him, which result in Deadpool shrinking, since Rhino planned to turn Deadpool into a keychain as retaliation to the same that Deadpool did to him during the first Deadpool running series. Although, Deadpool soon beats up and defeats Rhino, along with various bar goers to who Rhino was showing off his "deadpool-keychain" to.

While still shrunken, Deadpool is informed by Sandi and Outlaw that Agent X was captured by Hydra while he was fighting Hydra, a terrorist organization, to steal a "morphogenic actuator", which can be used to cure or cause diseases. Deadpool, with Weasel, goes to the Hydra Headquarters where Agent X is being held, in Pakistan. Using his small size to his advantage, Deadpool infiltrates the Headquarters and captures Bob, Agent of HYDRA, to help him get to Agent X. It is then found that the actuator has been used to give Agent X morbid obesity by scientists experimenting with the actuator, and that it can not be removed by the actuator. Deadpool then forces the scientists to turn him back to his normal size ("They had some Pym Particles lying around. Figured they must. Who doesn't, right?") and gets Bob to drive a plane with Deadpool, obese Agent X and the actuator towards home. However, they forgot to get Weasel. During the journey home, Agent X levels with Deadpool, asking him if he could take over Agency X (Agent X's company of hireling mercenaries) while he deals with his weight problem. However, T-Ray has returned and captured Sandi and Outlaw, using them in his plan to kill Deadpool and Agent X for stealing his identity. Deadpool succeeds in killing T-Ray with his katana. Deadpool then recounts how Cable healed him of his insanity and that T-Ray and Deadpool had shared memories and that Deadpool spotted many holes in his story.

Fractured
In "Fractured" (#40-42) Cable's island of Providence is attacked by the creature Hecatomb, who Cable's X-Men are fighting. When Deadpool and the Agency X gang hear of this, they travel to Providence to help Cable. However, Rogue has already defeated Hecatomb by absorbing the 8 billion people's minds it absorbed. Sabretooth attacks the building where Irene Merryweather and the Black Box are. Domino heads for the building to rescue them as Cable heads for the Power Core. Domino gets to the building to discover that Sabretooth has killed Black Box and is holding Irene hostage by using her as a human shield. Deadpool, who has parachuted from the Angency X jet, shoots Sabretooth and Irene manages to roll away. Domino takes Irene to the evacuation boats. Deadpool then proceeds to shoot Sabretooth repeatedly, stating that he knows he's running out of bullets, but he wonders if there will be anything left of Sabretooth for his healing factor to heal, just as he runs out bullets. Domino gets Irene to the evacuation boats as Cable joins them after he added just enough energy to the island to "finish the job." Domino makes Cable promise not to commit suicide, as Providence has a fail-safe system should Cable die. As Domino leaves, Cable wonders how many promises he's broken. Cable goes to help Deadpool get rid of Sabretooth by hurling him out to the middle of the ocean. Cable then sends Deadpool to obtain secrets about the future (in the form of a mini statue of Anton Krutch) that could be dangerous if in the wrong hands. Cable heads for the Core, where he is attacked by Gambit and Sunfire. Meanwhile, Deadpool succeeds in locating the statue, but is attacked by Senyaka, former Acolyte.

As Cable makes a run for the Core, Deadpool continues to fight Senyaka for the mini statue. Cable makes it to the Core and activates the self-destruct system as Deadpool finally gets his hands on the mini statue, which turns out to be a teleport matrix. Gambit and Sunfire escape as Providence explodes. Deadpool is teleported to his apartment where Deadpool claims he wasn't worth it and that he won't let Cable down.

Alone Again, Naturally
In "Alone Again, Naturally" (#43-50), after meeting Cyclops at a memorial statue of Cable, Deadpool goes to the Hydra base to finally save Weasel because if he doesn't, Wolverine will kill him and everyone else in the base. He almost succeeds but after trying to reason with Wolverine, Deadpool is decapitated. However Bob finally proves his worth by placing Deadpool's head back on his shoulders while Wolverine deals with the offending Hydra agents. Deadpool, Weasel, and Bob leave the Hydra base after Weasel's sabotage imprisons the remaining Hydra soldiers; however, the same device malfunctions as they head home, teleporting Deadpool and Bob to World War II Germany.

Having found themselves alongside Captain America and a foul-mouthed Bucky, Deadpool and Bob join in on the fight against the Nazis. All goes well but due to 'temporal hiccups', Captain America and Bucky seem to repeatedly forget who Deadpool and Bob are. The group heads off to find Doctor Zola and do battle with a Frankenstein Monster of his, but seem to be trapped in the past. Meanwhile, in the present time, Weasel has convinced the Fantastic Four to let him use their time machine, pointing out how bad an idea it is to have Deadpool and a rogue Hydra agent remain lost in time. He is unsuccessful however, and the Fantastic Four offer to help bring Deadpool home instead.

Using the technology provided by the Fantastic Four of the present day Weasel managed to pull Deadpool and Bob to the Baxter Building although at an earlier point in time where he meets the older iteration of the Fantastic Four (although appearing through Doctor Doom's time platform doesn't help matters, also with the 'temporal hiccups' still in effect the team gets quite confused about why there is a HYDRA agent at their breakfast table). Eventually they agree to help Deadpool return to the future, although complications mean he and Bob end up falling further and further into the time-stream until they are rescued at the last minute by both time periods versions of the Fantastic Four. After being dismissed from the Baxter Building for his mercenary lifestyle (although Sandi and Outlaw, who also work for Agency X are invited to stay for poker) Deadpool, Bob and Weasel return to the Agency X offices. Here they find Doctor Strange who has come to recruit Deadpool to save the multiverse from a problem he apparently created.

Unfortunately for Deadpool this involves finding T-Ray's body, so he and Bob sent to fight their way through various mystical realms by Dr. Strange to search for it. Upon finding T-Ray, Dr Strange reveals that at the moment Deadpool killed him he had used his black magic to try to escape through a 'mystical burrow', this sent him tumbling through various magical planes leaving the barriers between frayed. Deadpool had been sent to collect the portions of life essence he left in each realm, which he now has to use to restore T-Ray to life. After replacing the life essence, Dr Strange informs Deadpool and Bob that although T-Ray's body is complete, his soul is still missing. He then sends them to the Louisiana swamps where they meet Brother Voodoo, who arranges for Deadpool to confront T-Ray's soul and try to restore it to his body. After an antagonistic encounter, Deadpool succeeds and, as both had to be kept alive, they somewhat amicably part ways.

Deadpool is later contacted by Irene Merryweather who asks him to retrieve an "electro-polarity reconfiguration engine" left over in the Savage Land by Magneto to help power Rumekistan since Cable's death. After being attacked by a mind-controlled Ka-Zar and eventually freeing him, Deadpool, Weasel and Bob discover Brainchild has taken over. After Deadpool breaks in and finds the "reconfigurator" Weasel and Bob teleport to him. Brainchild then sends an army of dinosaurs to attack them which Deadpool teleports to Genosha using Weasels pene-traitor technology. After Deadpool shoots down Brainchild's escape dinosaur Ka-zar agrees to let him take the "reconfigurator". Weasel then points out that Deadpool sent the dinosaurs not to Genosha but the Genoshan embassy in New York City where they break open a van which the Mighty Avengers and Fantastic Four were using to transport the Venom symbiote, this quickly combines with the dinosaurs leaving an army of venomsaurs loose in Manhattan.

Deadpool then returns to New York to fight the venomsaurs. At first, he and Spider-Man fight them, but Weasel, the Fantastic Four and the Mighty Avengers all help Deadpool clean up the mess that he made. Agent X even gets in on the action, and Bob manages to bring down one of the bigger venomsaurs, regaining the respect of his wife, who saw it on TV. After much fighting, Deadpool is eventually knocked far away from the action. Cable (from the future) manages to send a psimitar, which can destroy the symbionts on the dinosaurs. Deadpool takes on the last venomsaur, and almost gets absorbed by the symbiote. However, Deadpool stabs himself in the head with the psimitar, and is released from the grip of the symbiote. Deadpool awakes to find out from the Avengers that the dinosaurs have been returned to the jungle thanks to Weasel.

It all ends with Deadpool back at his apartment watching TV. Deadpool had been blamed for the incident by the media on TV. Weasel, Bob, Irene Merryweather, Agent X, Sandi, and Outlaw all come in to hang out with Deadpool. The series ends with Deadpool asking his friends, "So... whaddyou guys want to watch?"

Zig-Zag (company)

Zig-Zag is a brand of rolling papers that originated in France. The Zig-Zag brand produces primarily hand-rolled tobacco-related products such as cigarette rolling papers, cigarette tubes and rolling accessories.

History
The company was founded in 1855 by Maurice and Jacques Braunstein. Based in Paris, in 1882 the company built the Papeterie de Gassicourt, a cigarette paper production plant near the town of Mantes-la-Jolie. In 1894, they invented the process of "interleaving" rolling papers. They called their papers Zig-Zag after the zigzag alternating packaging process. In 1900, Zig-Zag was awarded a gold medal at the Universal Exposition in Paris.

Success led to expansion in 1919 to a new mill in Thonon-les-Bains. During World War II, the company's original facility in Mantes-la-Jolie was destroyed and at war's end, all production was shifted to the Thonon factory.

With the death of Jacques Braunstein, in the 1950s Zig-Zag was sold to a partnership of the Group Bolloré and competitor JOB. In 2000, Zig-Zag became part of Republic Technologies of which Group Bolloré owns 19 percent.

In 2021, Zig Zag and Turning Point Brands, Inc. announced that they would be collaborating and launching a studio, Zig Zag Studios. Their focus is on a media platform featuring a wide range of artists, culture, art, and lifestyle content.

Captain Zig-Zag
The zouave soldier portrayed on the front of Zig-Zag products is colloquially known as the "Zig-Zag man". The choice of a member of this French North African regiment as a Zig-Zag icon originates from a folk story about an incident in the battle of Sevastopol. When the soldier's clay pipe was destroyed by a bullet, he attempted to roll his tobacco using a piece of paper torn from a musket cartridge. In an advertising campaign in the 1960s, Zig-Zag published leaflets with the zouave facing the viewer (much like Uncle Sam) and the caption, "Captain Zig-Zag wants YOU!" The reason for using the rank of "captain" is unclear as the Zig-Zag man is portrayed in the fez and embroidered jacket of an ordinary zouave and is not an officer.

In popular culture

 * One of the covers of Zig-Zag inspired an alternate cover for Eazy-E's 1989 single We Want Eazy, which went on to inspire the album cover for The Chronic by Dr. Dre.
 * One of the concert posters promoting a show at The Avalon Ballroom featuring Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin was done to look like a packet of Zig-Zags
 * In the poem The Shoelace by Charles Bukowski, Zig-Zag is mentioned: "...plenty of zigzag but no pot...."
 * Afroman mentions Zig-Zag in one of his most popular songs, Crazy Rap.

Rose Marie

Rose Marie (born Rose Marie Mazzetta; August 15, 1923 – December 28, 2017) was an American actress, singer, comedian, and vaudeville performer with a career ultimately spanning nine decades, which included film, radio, records, theater, night clubs and television. As a child performer during the years just after the silent film era, she had a successful singing career under the stage name Baby Rose Marie.

Rose Marie was widely known for her role on the CBS situation comedy The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966), as television comedy writer Sally Rogers, "who went toe-to-toe in a man's world". Later, she portrayed Myrna Gibbons on The Doris Day Show and was a featured celebrity on Hollywood Squares for 14 years.

She is the subject of a 2017 documentary film, Wait for Your Laugh, which includes interviews with her and her co-stars including Carl Reiner, Dick Van Dyke, Peter Marshall, and Tim Conway.

Early life
Rose Marie was born Rose Marie Mazzetta in Manhattan, New York, on August 15, 1923, to Polish-American Stella Gluszcak and Italian-American vaudeville actor Frank Mazzetta, who went by the name of Frank Curley. Her mother took her to see local vaudeville shows regularly and afterwards, Rose Marie would sing what she had heard for neighbors, who eventually entered her in a talent contest. At the age of three, Marie started performing under the name "Baby Rose Marie". At five, she was offered a seven-year contract and became a radio star on the NBC Radio Network and made a series of films.

Rose Marie later recalled:

"'I had a deep voice, not like Shirley Temple but more like Sophie Tucker. I never sounded like a child so there were some people who thought I was really a 30-year-old midget.'"

To counteract these rumors, NBC arranged for her to undertake a national stage tour, and she appeared in a few short films including "Baby Rose Marie the Child Wonder" (1929).

At the height of her fame as a child singer, from late 1929 to 1934, Rose Marie had her own radio show, made numerous records, and was featured in a number of Paramount films and shorts. She continued to appear in films through the mid-1930s, making shorts and one feature picture, International House (1933), with W. C. Fields for Paramount.

As she entered adulthood, Rose Marie turned to nightclub and lounge performances. According to her autobiography Hold the Roses, she was assisted in her career by many members of organized crime, including Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel. Rose Marie secured work at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, which was built by Siegel. Because of the Flamingo's organized crime ties, she had to seek permission to perform in other casinos and remained loyal to "the boys" at the Flamingo for the rest of her life.

Concurrently with her nightclub work, the young adult Rose Marie continued to work in radio, earning the nickname "Darling of the Airwaves".

Recordings
In 1929, five-year-old Rose Marie made a Vitaphone sound short titled Baby Rose Marie the Child Wonder. Between 1930 and 1938, she made 17 recordings, three of which were not issued. Her first issued record, recorded on March 10, 1932, featured accompaniment by Fletcher Henderson's orchestra, one of the leading African American jazz orchestras of the day. Henderson and the band were said to be in the RCA Victor studios recording the four songs they were intending to produce that day and were asked to accompany Baby Rose Marie, reading from a stock arrangement.

Rose Marie's recording of "Say That You Were Teasing Me" (backed with "Take a Picture of the Moon", Victor 22960), featuring Henderson's orchestra, was a national hit in 1932. According to Joel Whitburn, Rose Marie was the last surviving entertainer to have charted a hit before World War II.

Television
In the 1960–1961 season, Marie co-starred with Shirley Bonne, Elaine Stritch, Jack Weston, Raymond Bailey, and Stubby Kaye in My Sister Eileen.

After five seasons (1961–1966) as Sally Rogers on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rose Marie co-starred in two seasons (1969–1971) of The Doris Day Show as Doris Martin's friend and co-worker Myrna Gibbons. She also appeared in two episodes of The Monkees in the mid-1960s. She later had a semi-regular seat in the upper center square on the original version of The Hollywood Squares. Because contestants tended to pick corner squares first, the phrase "Rose Marie to block" was uttered so often she frequently joked that she should legally change her name to that.

Rose Marie performed on three 1966 and 1967 episodes of The Dean Martin Show on NBC and also twice (1964 and 1968) on The Hollywood Palace on ABC.

In the mid-1970s, Rose Marie appeared in the recurring role of Hilda on the police drama S.W.A.T.. Hilda brought fresh doughnuts, made coffee for the team, and provided some comic relief.

In the March 8th, 1986, episode of Remington Steele, Rose Marie played a key role in Steele in the Spotlight.

In the early 1990s, Rose Marie had a recurring role as Frank Fontana's mother on Murphy Brown.

She appeared as Roy Biggins' domineering mother Eleanor "Bluto" Biggins in an episode of Wings.

Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam appeared together in an October 1993 episode of Herman's Head and guest-starred in a February 1996 episode of Caroline in the City, shortly before Amsterdam's death in October of that same year.

Theater
Rose Marie appeared opposite Phil Silvers in the hit Broadway Musical Top Banana in 1951, also appearing in the well-received 1954 film adaptation. She later claimed that her musical numbers were cut from the film in retaliation for her publicly refusing the producer's sexual advances. Near the end of her life, she testified that it was the only time she had ever experienced sexual harassment in the entertainment industry in her 90-year career.

In 1965, Rose Marie appeared in the Dallas production of Bye Bye Birdie as Mae Peterson, the mother of the character played by Dick Van Dyke on Broadway and in the film.

From 1977 to 1985, Rose Marie co-starred with Rosemary Clooney, Helen O'Connell, and Margaret Whiting in the musical revue 4 Girls 4, which toured the United States and appeared on television several times.

Rose Marie was the celebrity guest host of a comedy play, Grandmas Rock!, written by Gordon Durich. It was originally broadcast on radio in 2010 on KVTA and KKZZ, and rebroadcast on KVTA and KKZZ again in September 2012 in honor of National Grandparents Day.

Personal life
Rose Marie was married to trumpeter Bobby Guy from 1946 until his death in 1964. The couple had one daughter, television producer Georgiana Guy Rodrigues.

Though it was presented in the press as romantic, in the 1970s Rose Marie maintained a platonic relationship with Pussycat Theaters co-owner Vince Miranda.

In her later years, Rose Marie was active on social media, particularly developing a following on Twitter, where she offered support for women who, like her, had suffered from sexual harassment.

Death
Rose Marie died at her home in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles on December 28, 2017, at the age of 94. Nell Scovell memorialized her as "the patron saint of female comedy writers".

Rose Marie's long-time friend and agent, Harlan Boll, says that the legendary actress's death had to do with "age problems."

Boll was with Marie shortly before she died. He explained to reporters that Marie had lain down to rest on Thursday afternoon, and by the time her caregiver checked in on her, to see if she wanted something to eat, she discovered she had stopped breathing."

Asim Ferhatović

Asim Ferhatović "Hase" (24 January 1933 – 23 January 1987) was a Bosnian professional footballer who played as a striker.

He started his football career in 1948 with hometown club FK Sarajevo, for whom he made his first-team debut in 1952. Ferhatović remained with the club until his retirement in 1967, although he represented Fenerbahçe in the 1962–63 Turkish league season. He won a solitary cap for the Yugoslavia national team in 1961.

Club career
During the 1950s and 1960s, Ferhatović led FK Sarajevo to great heights, and became the club's best and most famous player, scoring 198 goals in 422 games. He also had a short stint at Fenerbahçe where he played only seven league games and scored one goal. After only half a season he left Fenerbahçe and went back to Sarajevo. His greatest personal achievement was becoming the lead scorer in the Yugoslav First League with 19 goals for FK Sarajevo in the 1963–64 season. His last season, (1966–67) saw Sarajevo win their first-ever First League title and qualify for the European Cup.

Ferhatović's retirement was one of the most important events in Sarajevo's sporting history, and the local newspapers ran the headline Jedan je Hase! (There is Only One Hase!) in his honour that day.

International career
Ferhatović played once for the Yugoslavia national team, on 8 October 1961 against South Korea in a qualification match for the 1962 FIFA World Cup.

Death and legacy
Ferhatović died on 23 January 1987, a day before his 54th birthday, of a heart attack.

Sarajevo's Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium, the site of the Opening Ceremonies of the 1984 Winter Olympics and the home of FK Sarajevo, is named in his honour. The Bosnia and Herzegovina national team often used the stadium for their international matches in the past. It is also the largest stadium in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In popular culture
The Bosnian rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje wrote a song in honour of Ferhatović called Nedjelja kad je otišao Hase ("The Sunday When Hase Left") and was included in their 1985 album Dok čekaš sabah sa šejtanom.

Player

 * Yugoslav First League: 1966–67

Total coloring

In graph theory, total coloring is a type of graph coloring on the vertices and edges of a graph. When used without any qualification, a total coloring is always assumed to be proper in the sense that no adjacent edges, no adjacent vertices and no edge and either endvertex are assigned the same color. The total chromatic number χ″(G) of a graph G is the fewest colors needed in any total coloring of G.

The total graph T = T(G) of a graph G is a graph such that (i) the vertex set of T corresponds to the vertices and edges of G and (ii) two vertices are adjacent in T if and only if their corresponding elements are either adjacent or incident in G. Then total coloring of G becomes a (proper) vertex coloring of T(G). A total coloring is a partitioning of the vertices and edges of the graph into total independent sets.

Some inequalities for χ″(G): Here Δ(G) is the maximum degree; and ch′(G), the edge choosability.
 * 1) χ″(G) ≥ Δ(G) + 1.
 * 2) χ″(G) ≤ Δ(G) + 1026.  (Molloy, Reed 1998)
 * 3) χ″(G) ≤ Δ(G) + 8 ln8(Δ(G)) for sufficiently large Δ(G). (Hind, Molloy, Reed 1998)
 * 4) χ″(G) ≤ ch′(G) + 2.

Total coloring arises naturally since it is simply a mixture of vertex and edge colorings. The next step is to look for any Brooks-typed or Vizing-typed upper bound on the total chromatic number in terms of maximum degree.

The total coloring version of maximum degree upper bound is a difficult problem that has eluded mathematicians for 50 years. A trivial lower bound for χ″(G) is Δ(G) + 1. Some graphs such as cycles of length $$n \not \equiv 0 \bmod 3$$ and complete bipartite graphs of the form $$K_{n,n}$$ need Δ(G) + 2 colors but no graph has been found that requires more colors. This leads to the speculation that every graph needs either Δ(G) + 1 or Δ(G) + 2 colors, but never more:

 * Total coloring conjecture (Behzad, Vizing). $$\chi''(G) \le \Delta(G)+2.$$

Apparently, the term "total coloring" and the statement of total coloring conjecture were independently introduced by Behzad and Vizing in numerous occasions between 1964 and 1968 (see Jensen & Toft). The conjecture is known to hold for a few important classes of graphs, such as all bipartite graphs and most planar graphs except those with maximum degree 6. The planar case can be completed if Vizing's planar graph conjecture is true. Also, if the list coloring conjecture is true, then $$\chi''(G) \le \Delta(G) +3.$$

Results related to total coloring have been obtained. For example, Kilakos and Reed (1993) proved that the fractional chromatic number of the total graph of a graph G is at most Δ(G) + 2.

Soldier X

Soldier X is a young adult war drama book written by Don Wulffson about a half-German and half-Russian boy named Erik Brandt who joins the Wehrmacht, Hitler's army, during World War II. The book tells about the war from the perspective of Erik Brandt as he leads a life as both a German and a Russian, as well as the ways in which war can affect a person.

The book won the 2002 Christopher Award for books for young adults, and was on the 2002 National Council for the Social Studies list of notable books for young readers.
