Talk:Shady Cove, Oregon

message: History: I want to find a book with the history of Jackson County. I'll develop a short history of Shady Cove. If nothing else, there should be some information about the bridge.
Geography: I want to include some facts about the topography, biology, and water.
Recreation: Obviously, the Rogue runs through the city, and the Forest Service runs a campground just north of the city and the state runs a boat launch just south of the bridge. The city runs a library and has other services, too. There needs to be some mention of the summer tourism industry, but I have no idea where I would find sources for that. 
Services: There is a police force, a fire department (with financial support from the state and forest service), a library, and various other municipal services. There is a privately-held airfield. Oregon 62 runs through town and is the main artery from the South to Crater Lake National Park.
I want to go around town and take a picture or two to add to the article.
Any help appreciated! I'll be back to update as I do my work.

thread_title:  Same as Seidel Adjacency Matrix? 

message: It bothers me a bit that the example in Incidence matrix#Undirected and directed graphs happens to be a square matrix. Isn't this doing a disservice? If someone is trying to get the basic idea of adjacency and incidence matrices, showing only square matrices as examples of both sounds like a bad idea to me. I would much rather show a more "typical" example of an incidence matrix, with more columns than rows. (With more than 4 columns it would be also easier to see that each column has exactly two ones.) Should we change the graph, or is there a good reason for using this particular example? — Miym (talk) 20:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: True. See the example graphs in the French article, I avoided using the same number of vertices and edges and took the "house-like" graph from the German article. --MathsPoetry (talk) 15:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Relationship between adjacency and incidence matrices 

message: The formula A(L(G)) = B(G)T B(G) - 2 Iq is said in this article to work both with oriented and unoriented graphs.
That is not true, with an oriented graph you end up with coeficients equal to -1 in the matrix, which are not legitimate in an adjacency matrix.
Also, I don't really know whether line graphs of oriented graphs do exist at all. the wikipedia article about line graphs define them only in the context of unoriented graphs.

message: Talk:Alison Starling
This local news anchor is a candidate for an anchoring position on ABC 7 NEWS at 5pm. This is in Washington D.C. the nations capital and #8 DMA. After Kathleen Matthews left, Alison will start filling in her position and possibly become Leon Harris's co-host. She is a rising star and very soon she will be very well known.
Thank you for allowing me to post this page, I hope that you will decide to leave the page up. Thank you again!
it is interesting that the reference to her being a candidate to replace Kathleen Matthews was deleted with an explanation that Mrs. Matthews left some time ago and Ms. Starling has not replaced her yet.  
Mrs. Matthews left on December 12, 2006 and MS. Startling has been a regular replacement although she is not there daily and no official announcement has been made.
Actually Kathleen Matthews left the WJLA evening newscast on Dec 1, 2006 but there is still no replacement and Ms. Starling is still the most frequent fill in.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.20.221.71 (talk) 17:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Cardinal Lajolo's post is of a different order. The figure of Governor of the Vatican City State is no longer in existence. Cardinal Lajolo's official posts are "Presidente della Pontificia Commissione per lo Stato della Città del Vaticano e Presidente del Governatorato dello Stato della Città del Vaticano". Cardinal Szoka was never a Governor of the Vatican city state either. 
From: http://www.ewtn.com/library/CHISTORY/VATCNLAW.HTM
"...Another innovation in this Fundamental Law is the abolition of the office of Governor, to whom it was possible, according to the Fundamental Law of 1929, to delegate legislative authority, though with many reservations, and executive authority, which was habitually delegated. The office has been vacant since 1952 following the death of Marquis Camillo Serafini, the first and only Governor, who had worked since 1939 along with the Pontifical Commission. From 1952 on, this Commission had exercised all powers de facto, since no Governor had been appointed..."
"...Legislative authority is entrusted permanently, in delegated and collegial form, to a Commission of Cardinals appointed to a five-year term by the Pope and chaired by a Cardinal President (Art. 3-4). As mentioned above, the Commission of Cardinals had existed de facto  since 1939 under the name Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State. After 30 years of actual existence and activity, Paul VI determined its areas of competence for the governance of Vatican City State with the Law on the Governance of Vatican City State cited above"...
