I am trying to find out if it is possible to use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the longest path in a directed acyclic path. I know that it is not possible to find the longest path with Dijkstra in a general graph, because of negative cost cycles. But it should work in a DAG, I think. Through Google I found a lot of conflicting sources. Some say it works in a dag and some say it does not work, but I didn't find a proof or a counter example. Can someone point me to a proof or a counter example?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I thought about the problem and I think it is not possible in general. Being acyclic is not enough, I think.
For example:
We want to go from a to c in this dag.
d-c has length 4
a-d has length 1
all others have length 2
If you just replace the min function with a max function, the algorithm will lead to a-b-c but the longest path is a-d-c.
I found two special cases where you can use Dijkstra for calculating the longest path:
There're three possible ways to apply Dijkstra, NONE of them will work:
For DAG, critical path method will work:
The only requirement is not to have negative cycles. If you don't have the cycles, then you can remap negative ones by adding the highest absolute value from the negative weights to all the weights. That way you will lose the negative wights, as all the weight will be equal or grater than zero. So too sum up the only thing to worry is not having a negative cycle.
I suggest you modify the Dijkstra's algorithm to take the inverted value of the edge weight. Because the graph is acyclic, the algorithm will not enter an endless loop, using the negative weights to keep optimising. What is more, now positive weights become negative, but, again, there are no cycles. This will work even if the graph is undirected, provided that you disallow reinsertion of visited nodes (i.e., stop the endless jumping between two nodes, because adding negative value will always be better).

S.S. Lazio - 2023/2024 Season Preview
Board Expectations
Serie A - Achieve a safe mid-table position Media Prediction - 12th
Coppa Italia - Reach the 1st round.
Transfer Budget - £4.4M
Wage Budget - £825,000 p/w
Current Wage Bill - £536,799 p/w
Key additions:
Islam Ibrahim(CB/DMC/MC) - Signed for £3.5M from Zamalek. Looks a fantastic ball-playing centre back and he also has the ability to play in midfield if required.
Habib West(ST/AMR) - My 2nd non-eu signing and another young talent unearthed in Africa. Signed for £4.4M from Tunisian side ES Tunis.
Herve M'Vemba(CB) - My first signing as Lazio boss. Cost me £2.2M to bring him from Stade Rennais and he's someone who could develop into and excellent centre back.
Carmine Molino(LB) - Initially brought in on loan as I wasn't sure if he was worth the wages he was demanding(around £30,000 p/w IIRC). If all goes well, I have the option to purchase him for £2M.
Mattia Colombo(CM) - Colombo hasn't really shone for any of the other 6 clubs he's played for so far, but he clearly has lots of ability and at £725K, I felt he was worth a punt. He doesn't count as a non-eu signing as he's eligible to play for Italy.

Russia - Euro 2024 Qualification & International Frendlies
The perfect qualification campaign. We were always expected to get through this group, but to go through with a 100% record was something I could not have foreseen. The highlights of qualification would obviously be the two victory's over England and after some below-par performances throughout the campaign, the English FA decided to sack another manager. The timing of Ronald Nillson's sacking was slightly strange as they got rid just 4 days before England's final qualification game against Georgia in which there was still a possibility of Georgia qualifying ahead of them.
Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2
Current World Ranking - 7th
World Cup 2026 Qualification Group
I can't see us having many problems qualifying from this group.
Indeed not, especially after you left England in the dust last time.
Excellent qualifying record with Russia,I agree with that you shouldn't have any problems with the World Cup qualifying group.
Fantastic qualifying campaign, you must think you've got a good chance at the Euros now.
England seem to be following you round like a bad smell
You never know, them Luxembourgonians are crafty devils.
Excellent qualifying campaign with some great wins over England. Considering you pawned them last time around you shouldn't have any problems in the next qualifying either. Good luck in the Euros
Not a bad way to qualify . Should be no problem in the World Cup qualifiers too (well, apart from the Luxembourgonians )
Excellent qualifying mate!
S.S. Lazio - 2023/2024 Mid Season Update
Serie A
So far, so good as we have put ourselves in a good position to qualify for European football next season. I'm doubtful whether we have what it takes to grab the 4th Champions League spot despite us being just 3 points behind Juventus as I feel the other sides around us have better strength in depth and I can see us fading away towards the back end of the season. Still, qualification for Europa League would be fantastic after two 12th and three 10th placed finishes in the last 5 seasons.
TIM Cup - Knocked out in the 1st Round
After an unconvincing 1-0 win in the 3rd qualifying round at home to Serie B side Brescia, we managed to pull off a shock victory in the San Siro against A.C Milan in the 4th qualifying round, winning the game 3-2 on penalties after the scores were tied at 3-3 after extra time. In the 1st round we were drawn against arch rivals Roma, and I thought that my side would be out for revenge after losing to them 4-1 in the league just a few weeks prior to the tie, but no, we were awful and found ourselves on the wrong side of a 4-1 beating once again. The night of the defeat was made even worse when I received news after the game that our best defender so far this season, Islam Ibrahim would be out for 5-6 months after having his leg broken by a Roma player.
Last edited by roganp; 04-02-2012 at 18:16.
Bad luck with the leg-break; Ibrahim looks like another classy Egyptian!
Not doing too bad in the league although that is a nasty injury for Ibrahim and it would just happen to come in the game against Roma.
There's something odd about the 'TIM cup', like having a 'John League'. I do know what it stands for and what that's all about but still...
I find it odd too. No idea what it stands for, but I hate sponsored league and stadium names and I assume it's one of those pesky ********. I fondly look back at the innocent time when football didn't involve so much whoring out.
I remember the Chinese FA Cup was once re-named: Sheffield United FA Cup.
For obvious reasons, but still incredibly daft.
- Been very busy of late and haven't been able to play much FM, but I have finished the season with Lazio and the Euro's with Russia. Here is the season review for Lazio( A Euro 2024 update will follow, probably tomorrow) :
S.S. Lazio - 2023/2024 Season Review
Serie A
Well, after claiming at the midway point that I was doubtful weather we would be good enough to claim the 4th and final Champions League qualification, I'm delighted to say that I was completely wrong . We were magnificent in the second half of the season, losing just 2 of our final 19 games. A 3rd placed finish with a total of 76 points(A total that would have been enough to win the league last season) is a fantastic season after the incredibly poor state I found the club in when I arrived less than a year ago.
TIM Cup - Knocked out in the 1st round

Squad Stats
Key Players
Habib West(ST/AMR) - A good debut season for West. He supported Veldhuizen well up front and I even received a bid of £16.25M for him from Marseille at the end of the season, which I rejected.
Carmine Molino(LB) - Molino was very solid at left back and with an agreed transfer fee of £2M I was confident of making the loan a permanent deal, but according to his agent, he is not willing to enter contract discussions so I guess he will be heading back to Marseille.
Mattia Colombo(CM) - Probably our stand out midfield player. A solid debut season.
Dario Rivoira(AMC) - A player who was at the club when I arrived and I wasn't sure if he was the someone who could take us to the Champions League places, but credit to him, he was excellent.
Nico Veldhuizen(ST/AML) - The season Veldhuizen finally delivered as for the first time in his 5 seasons at the club, he reached the 20 goal mark.
At the end of the season I received job offers from these clubs :Code:Year Team Country League Position Important Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2011/2012 Boston United England Blue Square Bet North 14th Joined the club in March 2012 2012/2013 Boston United England Blue Square Bet North 2nd Playoff Semi-Finalists 2013/2014 Boston United England Blue Square Bet North 1st Promoted!, FA trophy Finalists 2014/2015 Boston United England Blue Square Bet Premier 15th FA Trophy Winners! 2015/2016 Boston United England Blue Square Bet Premier 1st Promoted as league champions, FA Trophy Winners 2016/2017 Ipswich Town England npower League One 1st Promoted as League Champions 2017 New York RB USA MLS 1st Joined 1.6.2017, MLS cup and Open Cup finalists, S Shield winners 2018/2019 Dundee United Scotland SPL 2nd Scottish Cup winners, Qualified for CL 2019/2020 Dundee United Scotland SPL N/A Left 3.1.2020 to join Sao Paulo 2020 Sao Paulo Brazil Brasileirao 1st League, State, Copa Sudamerica, Libertadores and CWC Champions 2020/2021 Spartak Moscow Russia Prem'er Liga 6th Joined 3.1.2021 2021/2022 Spartak Moscow Russia Prem'er Liga 1st League champions 2022/2023 Spartak Moscow Russia Prem'er Liga 1st League & Cup double, Superkubok winners 2023/2024 Lazio Italy Serie A 3rd Qualified for the Champions League
Malaga Offer
Manchester City Offer
Liverpool Offer
Inter Milan Offer
Real Madrid Offer
The offers from Manchester City and Liverpool were immediately declined as I'm a Manchester United fan and for obvious reasons don't want to manage either of these clubs. The offers from Malaga, Inter and Real Madrid were alot harder to turn down, especially the Madrid offer which was incredibly hard to say no to, but in the end I also declined these offers as I feel I've got plently of work to do with Lazio.
Last edited by roganp; 16-02-2012 at 11:11.
Tut tut on rejecting the Liverpool job . Still, probably a good decision to stay at Lazio.
Good end of season to only lose 2 games in the run in. Good effort by Veldhuizen and I would expect he will score even more next year.
The Madrid offer must have been very tempting. Difficult to turn down a transfer budget of £598m
Brilliant first season at Lazio,that transfer budget at Real Madrid is ridiculously huge and don't think I have seen one that big before
Wow, you're in demand.
Good first crack at the Scudetto.
Very respectable first season in Rome, qualifying for Champions League football. Should have a great chance at the title next season
Good season, hopefully the sign of things to come so glad you decided to stay at Lazio.
Really like the look of your strikeforce by the way, West in particular. As a matter of interest what roles do your strikers play?
Russia - Euro 2024 Update
Norway vs Russia (Group Game 1) - Not a convincing start as we needed a penalty to secure all 3 points, but getting the win in our first game was the most important thing. In the other group group Turkey got off to a good start, beating Romania 1-0.
Russia vs Romania (Group Game 2) - Despite the 16 shots at goal, this was an incredibly poor performance. At this point it seemed as if Zavially was the only who could be bothered to put in some effort at this tournament. In the other group game Norway and Turkey drew 2-2.
Russia vs Turkey (Group Group 3) - Only a point in this game would have been needed to see us progress to the knockout rounds, but a Turkey goal with the last kick of game sent us crashing out of the tournament.
Knockout Rounds
A few surprises with Switzerland and Norway, who we beat in the group stage, reaching the Semi-Finals. England's defeat in the final means they have lost in consecutive tournament finals and once again they decide to sack the manager. This time it was Keith Hill who was given the boot.
After the tournament the Russian FA decided to sack me. It was always my plan to leave after the tournament as I want Lazio to be my main focus at this time, but I was slightly surprised at the sacking after the progress I've made with the nation. Still, I guess an International manager will ultimately be judged on how he performs at tournaments and finishing bottom of the group was embarrassing.
Last edited by roganp; 17-02-2012 at 23:23.
That's a harsh way to go out of the tournament. Very surprising that you lost to Russia too.
That's not gone well.
Oooff, that was a harsh Euro 2024! Would have preferred to go out with a bang, Im sure, but c'est la vie!
Your season with Lazio was a success, by all means, and Im glad you decided to stick it out with them. Theyve always struck me as a sleeping giant (partly because Im old enough to remember the days they were quite a force to be reckoned with!), and hopefully you can restore their former glory!
Habib West looks like a keeper - in fact, I just signed a player with almost the exact same attributes!
Rivoira wouldn't strike me as a the type of player that could carry the team, but he certainly did that, which just goes to prove a theory I've always had - its not always about the attributes!
Thanks for your comments everyone
ShyBaldBuddhist - The offer from Madrid was very tempting. It's not often they come calling and with those budgets I would have been able to buy pretty much anyone I wanted, but they had just come off the back of winning the Champions League and I didn't see a challenge there.
City 2000 - Last season I had West in a poacher role and Veldhuizen as a target man, but with a few new attacking players joining us in the summer I've decided to switch to a new formation which I will talk about in my season preview
abulezz - I was surprised at the impact Rivoira was able to make as he was a player I didn't really rate when I joined. Despite having an excellent season, I'm not sure he's the type of player who can take us to the next level, which is why I went out and signed a new AMC in the summer.
Whoops, that's the one! They both start with 'R'! :o
And end in ia.
And used to be commie.

Transfers Summary
Here are some of the main signings :
Edgar Bazan (ST/AMC) - Noticed last December that his contract would expire in the summer and moved quickly in January to get him to sign a pre-contract, which he did. Delighted that we were able to get such a quality young player on a free.
Jerzy Socha (GK) - I didn't have much confidence in the two first team keepers we had, so I decided to invest in a new number one.
Senzo Ndlovu (ST/AMR) - A player I managed to find while searching some of the big clubs in Africa. I saw he was having a very good season for Zamalek(15 goals in 18 appearances) and decided to bring him to Italy.
Denis Obradovic (CB) - Obradovic had been a regular in the Partizan first team since the age of 18 and had been performing consistently well for them. He's a young defender with excellent potential which is why I meet his £3.7M release clause and brought him here.
Antonio (AMC/AMR) - Wanted to leave Recreativo after the club had been relegated from La Liga and my scout told me he would be available at a bargain price of £2.5M which I was happy to pay.
Gianluca Bettini (DR/CB) - I started to notice a lack of Italian players in our sqaud and as I was in need of another full-back, I decided to invest in Bettini.
Fred van der Vegt (AMC) - One to keep and eye on for the future. He looks pretty decent at 18 and hopefully he can develop into a first team player.
Bovid Lepaye (ST) - Another exciting young prospect who I was able to get for a pretty cheap price.
Youth Intake
Only one player worth mentioning :
Giancarlo Traini Profile
Giancarlo Traini Report
Our Champions League group :
Should be a tough group, but I'm confident that we can progress to the knockout rounds.
Club Takeover :
A takeover had been on the cards for some time and one was finally completed recently. Unfortunately, it wasn't very exciting as a director seized control of the club and announced there would be no further investment at this stage.
Excited about van der Vegt
Looks like a great Champions League group to be part of.
S.S. Lazio - 2024/2025 Mid Season Update
Serie A
A mixed start to our season as we got off to a decent start, opening up with a good draw away to Inter and also beating one of our title rivals, Sampdoria 3-1 at home in our first 5 games. However, we soon hit a rough patch towards the of September and throughout the month of October, but a win in the Rome derby at the start of November(my first since joining the club) got us back on track.
The real turn around though, for me, came in the away game against A.C Milan when after finding ourselves a goal down I decided to switch from the 4-2-3-1 formation that I chose to adopt at the start of the season in order to fit all of our attacking players into a first 11, to a 4-3-1-2 that had been so successful for us last season. This change in tactics seemed to spark a fantastic turn around in performance and we ran out as emphatic 4-1 winners. A run of 7 straight victory's after that game has put us right in the title mix, but I think if we finish in the top 3 again it will go down as a good campaign.
UEFA Champions League - Through to the 1st Knockout Round
After securing an excellent point away to Bayern in our first group game we really struggled, suffering a home defeat at the hands of Ajax, just scraping past a poor Rangers side at home and then losing at their place which left us bottom of the group and exit from Europe looking very likely. We gave ourselves a fighting chance with the fantastic 5-2 home win against Bayern and we went into the final game away to Ajax knowing that only a win would be enough to see us progress. Our travelling support in Amsterdam were not to leave dissapointed as we put in an excellent performance, winning the game and booking our place in the knockout rounds as runners up of the group.
TIM Cup - Through to the Quarter Finals
We came into the competition 2 rounds later than last season and we already find ourselves in the quarter finals after a good win at home to Juventus. With the likes of Inter, Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Roma all going out in the 1st round we could have a great opportunity at winning a piece of silverware and for that reason I will be taking this competition very seriously.

A good chance for the Scudetto.
Solid going so far in the league which is far from over.
Keep up the good work Great career so far!
Awesome career!
I doubt Sampdoria will keep it up.
Looking good so far,hopefully Sampdoria will slip up and you can take advantage of the situation.
- Hi, all. It's been a little while since I last posted on these boards as I've been pre-occupied with exams and barely had a moment to play FM. Now that they are over it's the perfect time for me to get back to this save and get this thread back on track, so here is the review for the latest season in my career :
S.S. Lazio - 2024/2025 Season Review
Serie A
The second half of the season is when we really shone in the previous campaign as we lost just 2 of our final 19 games, but unfortunately we were unable to produce a similar run this season and with Sampdoria looking pretty unstoppable for the whole season, we had to settle for a distant 2nd. Still, I'm pleased we were able to improve on last seasons 3rd place finish and we also improved on our points total by a mammoth one point . Another positive is that we managed to do the double over arch rivals Roma and after finishing above them in league for the second season running, I think it's fair to say that we are currently the top team in Rome.
UEFA Champions League - Knocked out in the 1st Knockout Round
After finishing runners up in a pretty tough group we were handed a knockout round tie against the holders of the Premier League, Manchester United. We put in a decent performance in the first leg at home and should have scored more than the one goal, but unfortunately were wasteful with our chances and they managed to secure the all important away goal. In the second leg we looked very good going forward, managing to create a number of good opportunities, but a poor defensive performance meant we conceded four goals and crashed out of the tournament. Overall, I think we should be very pleased with how we faired on our a return to the Champions League.
TIM Cup - Winners!
After beating Juventus we were drawn against Serie B side Lecce who managed to pull off a big upset in the previous round by knocking out Sampdoria away from home. I was worried that another upset was on the cards when after just 3 minutes Lecce took the lead, but we managed to recover and eventually booked our place in the Semi's after two goals in extra time. We then pretty much confirmed our place in the final after a fantastic 3-0 victory over Torino in the first leg of the Semi's, before sealing the tie with a 4-3 win back at their place.
The final against recently relegated Parma was probably one of the easiest I'm likely to come across as we raced into a 3 goal lead after just 21 minutes and pretty much dominated the entire game. I'm delighted to have secured my first trophy as Lazio manager and hopefully this is just the first of many trophies I'll win at the club.
Final Overview
Fixtures 1 | 2 | 3
Squad Stats
Transfers - There was one addition in the January transfer window as young French prospect Frederic Beaubrun joined the club for £750K. I feel I have secured myself a real gem here and he's already shown that he has the potential to be a top class player by putting in two excellent performances in the cup, one of which was in the cup final. Next season I'll be looking to loan him out as I feel first team football would really benefit him at this stage in his career.
Key Players
Jerzey Socha (GK) - It's not often that I recognize a goal keeper as a key player, but Socha really was key member of our squad this season, putting in a number of excellent performances between the sticks.
Denis Obradovic (CB) - A very solid debut season for the young Serb. Throughout the season he looked very assured at the back whilst also chipping in with some goals at the other end. He's certainly someone who will have a bright future at the club.
Antonio (AMC) - When I was told by my scout last summer that I could pick this lad up for just £2.5M I moved to bring him in as quickly as possible and it was money very well spent as he played a crucial role in our team just behind the two strikers.
Edgar Bazan (ST/AMC) - I knew that when I agreed to bring Bazan in on a free transfer I had secured a fantastic young player and he didn't disappoint, reaching the 20 goal mark in his debut season in Europe. There's been strong interest in him from Liverpool and Barcelona, but there's no way I'll be selling unless it's for a world record transfer fee.
Nico Veldhuizen (ST/AML) - Another successful campaign for the club captain and legend, however I still feel that he is capable of scoring more goals as he started the season slowly but that was probably my fault as I was playing him on the wings during the early part of the season.

Transfers Summary
Carmine Molino (LB) - Back on loan for a thrid successive season which is not ideal, however with there being a lack of left back talent available in the game and Molino wanting 50K p/w join permanently, another season long loan was probably the best option.
Gianpaolo De Stefani (CB) - Had been a regular in Serie A & B for Chievo since the age of 17 and I moved quickly to secure him on a pre-contract in January when I saw that his contract was running out. He is described as a "wonderkid" in the game and hopefully he can fulfil that potential.
Giuseppe Pastorello (CB) - Big money spent to bring Juventus' brightest young talent to the club. He's another young centre back who's described as a "wonderkid" and I have no doubts that he is a future club captain.
Aboubacar Diabate (MC/AMC) - I felt we lacked creativity in central midfield and with Diabate avaliable at a very reasonable price I felt it was a sensible signing.
Andis Scherer (DR/MR) - With our main right back from the last two seasons Martin Morini leaving to join Bari I needed to invest in a replacement and Scherer looks an excellent prospect.
Glenn Maes (CB) - Decent young prospect signed for £190K for Beerschot AC.
Marek Bajza (GK) - Brought in to provide competition for the number one goalie spot. In Bajza and Socha I feel we have two very solid goalkeepers.
Justice Owusu (AMC/AMR/MC) - A player I actually tried to sign when I first joined the club, but he opted for a move to the Saudi league with Al-Ittihad. He's cost £4.2M me more than he would have had I been able to persuade him to join back then, but he's a good young prospect and I was happy to pay £6M to bring him to Rome.
Tete (CM/DM) - Signed on the last day of the transfer window from Genoa to bolster our midfield options.
Champions League group :
For the second season in a row we've been draw into a very tough group and I would say this group will be even harder to progress than last years as we come up against French champions PSG, giants Real Madrid and Schalke who only finished runners up in the Bundesliga to Bayern Munich on goal difference. If make it to the knockout rounds it would be a fantastic achievement.

S.S. Lazio - 2025/2026 Mid Season Update
Serie A
At the halfway point I'm delighted that we find ourselves just 3 points off the top. Apart from the heavy defeat against Sampdoria and the home draw against Brescia we've looked very good, resulting in just the one defeat up to this point, but I do worry that we're not scoring enough goals and have found that we tend to take our foot off the gas after going a goal or two up in games, instead of looking to push on and win matches by 4 or 5 goals. Still, there have been many positives from the first half of this season and hopefully we can push on in the second half and secure the clubs first Scudetto since 2000.
Suppercoppa - Lost vs Sampdoria
Not the best way to start the season as a poor performance against the league champions resulted in a 2-0 defeat in the seasons curtain raiser.
UEFA Champions League - Through to the 1st Knockout Round
With us being drawn against the Champions League holders Real Madrid, French champions PSG and Bundesliga runners up Schalke, this was always going to be an incredibly tough group to progress from, so to do so is an excellent achievement. We didn't get off to the greatest of starts as we lost our opening game 2-1 away to PSG before scraping a 1-0 win at home to Schalke and then losing 2-1 away to Madrid.
In the return game against Madrid they enjoyed much of the possession, but we were far more clinical in front of goal and secured an excellent 3-1 victory. Against PSG we were completely dominant and in all honesty could've beaten them by 7 or 8 goals. That emphatic win put us top of the group going into the final game against Schalke and two goals from club captain Nico Veldhuizen in that game ensured that we qualified for the 1st Knockout Round as group winners.
TIM Cup - Through to the Quarter Finals
The first game in our quest to retain the TIM Cup was certainly an eventful one as no less than 15 cards were dished out(12 yellows, 3 reds) in a fiercely contested Rome derby that required extra time to be settled. I was worried about our chances of progressing when after just 28 minutes full back Gianluca Bettini was shown the first red card of the game, leaving us a man down.
However, 7 minutes later we found ourselves leading the game as South African forward Senzo Ndlovu pounced on a defensive error and calmly nodded home. The game then went pretty quiet, until shortly after half time when a second player of ours was shown the red card. This time it was young centre back Gianpaolo De Stefani who was dismissed after 48 minutes and just 2 minutes later Roma equalised.
The drama didn't stop there as in the dying minutes of injury time Roma were awarded a penalty which was blasted over the bar, sending the game into extra time where substitute Edgar Bazan scored a brace to send us through the the next round.

S.S. Lazio - 2025/2026 Season Review
Serie A
A fantastic title race to be apart of. Inter pushed us all the way to the final of the day of the season, but we were good enough to secure the clubs first scudetto since 2000 with a 4-2 home victory against Fiorentina.
UEFA Champions League - Knocked out in the Quarter Finals
After topping an incredibly tough group, I was confident that we could put together a strong run in the Champions League and my confidence only grew when we eliminated Germany giants Bayern Munich, beating them in both legs. The 1st leg of the Quarter Finals against PSG was probably up there with the most frustrating games I've witnessed on FM as we completely dominated the game, created a number of fantastic opportunities, but only managed to score once and conceded an equaliser in the 86th minute. Going into the return leg I still maintained hope that we could progress to the Semi's, but unfortunately it wasn't to be and we were eliminated from the competition.
Suppercoppa - Lost vs Sampdoria
TIM Cup - Winners!
After coming through an eventful tie against arch rivals Roma, we managed to pull off an excellent victory by defeating Inter at the San Siro. In the 1st leg of the Semi's against Fiorentina we struggled, falling behind after just 7 minutes, before equalising 10 minutes from time and then going on to demolish them in the return leg. In the final against AC Milan we completely dominated the game, running out comfortable 3-0 winners to retain the cup.
Final Overview
Fixtures 1 | 2 | 3
Squad Stats
Transfers - There was one addition in October as Portuguese midfielder Joao Vidigal joined the club on a free transfer after being released by Atletico Madrid in the summer. In January there was one departure as defensive midfielder Everaldo returned home to Brazil to join Corinthians.
Key Players
Mattia Colombo (CM) - A fantastic contribution from Colombo who has become well known for his scoring of spectacular goals.
Giuseppe Pastorello (CB) - Definitely a future club captain. An excellent first season at the club and I'm sure it's just the start of many great years for him at Lazio.
Antonio (AMC) - Proved once again that the £2.5M I paid to bring him from Spain was a bargain.
Nico Veldhuizen (ST/AML) - Didn't score quite as many as season, but the club captain was still an important player for us.
Edgar Bazan (ST/AMC) - A player who's fast turning out to be my best ever free transfer. If it wasn't for suffering a broken arm in March that sidelined him for 5 weeks, his season would have been even better and I feel we would have progressed further in the Champions League as he missed the two games against PSG.
- I've got a few updates to come as the World Cup has just finished and I have news of a new International job.Code:Year Team Country League Position Important Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2011/2012 Boston United England Blue Square Bet North 14th Joined the club in March 2012 2012/2013 Boston United England Blue Square Bet North 2nd Playoff Semi-Finalists 2013/2014 Boston United England Blue Square Bet North 1st Promoted!, FA trophy Finalists 2014/2015 Boston United England Blue Square Bet Premier 15th FA Trophy Winners! 2015/2016 Boston United England Blue Square Bet Premier 1st Promoted as league champions, FA Trophy Winners 2016/2017 Ipswich Town England npower League One 1st Promoted as League Champions 2017 New York RB USA MLS 1st Joined 1.6.2017, MLS cup and Open Cup finalists, S Shield winners 2018/2019 Dundee United Scotland SPL 2nd Scottish Cup winners, Qualified for CL 2019/2020 Dundee United Scotland SPL N/A Left 3.1.2020 to join Sao Paulo 2020 Sao Paulo Brazil Brasileirao 1st League, State, Copa Sudamerica, Libertadores and CWC Champions 2020/2021 Spartak Moscow Russia Prem'er Liga 6th Joined 3.1.2021 2021/2022 Spartak Moscow Russia Prem'er Liga 1st League champions 2022/2023 Spartak Moscow Russia Prem'er Liga 1st League & Cup double, Superkubok winners 2023/2024 Lazio Italy Serie A 3rd Qualified for the Champions League 2024/2025 Lazio Italy Serie A 2nd TIM Cup Winners 2025/2026 Lazio Italy Serie A 1st League and Cup Double!
Congrats on your Serie A title good luck with the new season trying to retain it
Good luck chasing the CL.
Still a good Double with winning the leaue and TIM Cup. Give you a place to really jump into Europe for next year!
World Ranking - 11th
Rival Nations - Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Italy, France and Portugal
Key Players - Angelo, Dineiro, Fuska, Fabio and Xarophino.
So, after a far from impressive world cup campaign where they eliminated at the group stage, Brazil have fired their coach and decided to hire me. There was also an offer from The Netherlands, but I felt the chance to take over at Brazil was an something I could not turn down. My first fixture should be interesting as we travel to Wembley to play England in a friendly. I will update at the end of the year.
20th July 2026 - RESIGNED!
After announcing to the media that I would interested in taking over the vacant managerial position at Real Madrid, the board felt my actions were unacceptable and issued me with an ultimatum; apologize but face the possibility of the sack or resign and keep my reputation intact. It was a tough decision, but I decided to resign from my post as Lazio manager. For the foreseeable future I'm happy to concentrate solely on my job with Brazil, but I will not hesitate to jump back into club management if I receive the right offer. As I would like Spain or Germany to be my next destination, I do not mind waiting for a side from either these countries to make me a good offer.
Last edited by roganp; 18-06-2012 at 18:45.
Great season Rogan.
So Real Madrid next?
Excellent season,hope you can get the Real Madrid job
Good season with Lazio- shame you had to resign!
Its a real shame the board forced your resignation. I would have expected them to be more forgiving given you just won them the title.
Well, in the end I didn't get offered the Real Madrid job, that position was given to Frank De Boer. I'm in no rush to jump back into club management and will focus on my job with Brazil while I wait for a suitable offer.
Brazil - Year 2026 Review
- My first game was against England
Well, It's not been the start that I envisioned when I agreed to take over the reigns as Brazil manager. After the debacle of the 2026 World Cup which saw the manager sacked, I looked forward to taking over and getting things back on track for such a great footballing nation. However, despite having a wealth of fanatastic talent at my disposal, I have yet to find a way of fitting them all into the same team and getting them to click and in all honesty it's been very frustrating.
With just one win under my belt thus far I've got alot of work do if this team is to be seriously competitive at this summers upcoming Copa America. Speaking of which, here is the draw for the Copa America.
End of Year World Ranking - 15th
Key Players
Angelo (ST/AMC) - Now a veteran in this Brazil side, Angelo put in some good performances in my opening 5 games, but I will expecting more from him in the next year.
Felipinho (ST) - Another excellent attacking talent that I have at my disposal, but he hasn't quite delivered for Brazil so far in his career. He was one of our better performances, but like Angelo, I will be expecting alot more from Felipinho next year.
Bispo (ML/MC/AML) - Showed some real promise on the left flank and a player who I looked forward to seeing more of.
Last edited by roganp; 23-07-2012 at 14:24.
Hopefully next year is better for Brazil. How about the domestic club front? Any offers?
Brazil - 2027 Copa America Update
Argentina vs Brazil (Group Game 1) - What a start to the tournament! With it being the first game of the tournament for both sides and against our arch rivals I was expecting a cagey affair, but what a performance and a fantastic way to kick off our campaign.
Brazil vs Venezuela (Group Game 2) - Completely dominated the game and with this emphatic result we secured qualification to the knockout rounds.
Brazil vs Paraguay (Group Game 3) - After already securing qualification to the knockout rounds in the previous game against Venezuela, we seemed to take our foot off the gas slightly and were unable to make a far superior possession count. Thankfully, this point was enough for us to top the group.
Knockout Rounds
Dream Team - Abilio, Bife, Pereira, Junior, Angelo, Felipinho
Golden Boot - Felipinho (7 Goals)
Champions!!! In the quarters Ecuador put up a good fight as it took goals in the 88th and 91st minute to see them off, but the semi's against Bolivia was a very comfortable tie and we probably should have scored more than the 2 goals. The final was also pretty comfortable, Colombia rarely threatened our goal during the game and a 22nd minute goal from Felipinho was enough to secure the Copa America, Brazil's first since 2007.
Next up for us is two friendlies in September against England and Saudi Arabia, then the hard work begins to try and qualify for the 2030 World Cup. I also will have some news about a new club coming up shortly.

18th June 2027 - Back in club management
Stadium - Signul Iduna Park
Capacity - 80,720 (53,569 Seated)
Job Offer
Well, I said I would wait until after the Copa America to reveal my new club and here it is. I have joined German giants Borrusia Dortmund. Throughout the 2026/2027 season I was receiving offers from clubs, but none of them really got me excited. That was until at the end of the season Ricardo Moniz decided to retire from football, leaving the Dortmund managerial position vacant and when it was offered to me I didn't hesitate to sign on the dotted line.Ballspiel-Verein Borussia 1909 e. V. Dortmund, commonly known as Borussia Dortmund [boˈʁusi̯a ˈdoɐ̯tʰmuntʰ], Dortmund, or BVB, is a German sports club based in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia. Dortmund is one of the most successful clubs in German football history. Borussia Dortmund play in the Bundesliga, the top tier of German football league system. They are the current Bundesliga champions.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight German football championships, three German Cups, a record-tying four German Supercups, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and one Intercontinental Cup. Their UEFA Cup Winners' Cup win in 1966 made them the first German team to win a European title.
Since 1974, Dortmund have played their home games at Westfalenstadion. The stadium is the biggest stadium in Germany and the sixth biggest in Europe. Dortmund holds a long-standing rivalry with Schalke 04, and matches between the two teams are referred to as the Revierderby. Borussia Dortmund's motto is "Echte Liebe" (English: "True Love").
Taken from wikipedia.
Just the one league title since the start of the game and the club seem to have struggled in recent years with last seasons 4th placed finish being the clubs best finish for a number of seasons. My first job will be to get the club back into the Champions League(4th qualify's for the Europa League) and then I will look to stop the dominance of Bayern Munich who have won the last 5 league titles.
Here are the pick of the players I inherited from the previous manager :
Moidrag Bozovic (CM) - Definitely the squad's most talented player and someone I actually tried to sign for Lazio while he was playing for Slovan Bratislava, but he chose to sign for Dortmund in a deal worth £4.7M.
Jacek Mierzejewski (CB) - Didn't have a great début season after joining from Celtic the previous summer, but he's young and could go on to be a very good centre back.
Ruud Monnikhof (ML/AML) - On the wrong side of 30 now, but he's still a player who has alot to contribute and someone I will be looking to keep around.
Svein Rune Holmen - Seems to be a real fans favourite and despite me not being that impressed with his attributes, he's been a very consistent performer for the club over the last 4 seasons so I will wait until pre-season to make a full judgement on him.
Congrats on winning Copa America with Brazil and the best of luck with Dortmund.
As BWG said.
Great job on the Copa America! Good choice in Dortmund too.
Dortmund's a great place to go.
Borussia Dortmund - 2027/2028 Season Preview
Board Expectations
Bundesliga - Qualify for UEFA Champions League Media Prediction - 3rd
UEFA Europa League - Reach Second Knockout Round
DFB-Pokal - Reach Semi-finals
Transfer Budget - £36.87M
Wage Budget - £1.3M p/w
Current Wage Bill - £809,437 p/w
Transfers Summary
Gilson (ST/AMC) - The first player I agreed to bring in for a bargain £6.5M after he found himself out of favour at Lyon. I can't wait to see him in action for us.
Islam Shokry (MR/AMR) - Tricky winger signed from AEK Athens for £4.8M.
Dmitriy Kryakushin (GK) - A new keeper was needed and I had no issues with meeting Kryakushin's £2M release clause to bring him from Dinamo Bucharest.
Branko Martac (ST) - Was transfer listed by Liverpool and I had to beat off competition from a number of clubs to get him here. Will be a good back-up for Gilson and has the potential to become an excellent striker.
Guido Barrios (ST/AML/AMC) - The big money signing from Argentina. It took alot of negotiations with his club Lanus to bring him here and I had to break Dortmund's transfer record, but I believe he will be worth it.
Adigun Babatunde (MC/DM) - Another fairly big money signing who I had tracked for some time at Lazio but never really had to funds to sign him. He should form a excellent central midfield partnership with Bozovic.
Mladen Martic (LB) - Solid defender with the potential to become a fantastic full back.
Amir Hossam (AMC/MC) - Met his £7.5M release clause to sign him from Basle. His fantastic dribbling, first touch and passing, along with his excellent physical attributes should make him a deadly attacking midfielder.
Julian Andres Bermudez (CB/DM/CM) - A player who I looked at, but didn't initially plan to sign in this transfer window. That was until Bayern Munich made a bid and I knew this was a player I couldn't allow to go to such a big rival.
Jaud Kembisala (RB) - The last signing of this transfer window and another fairly big money deal.
So, there was no shortage of transfer activity in this transfer window as I spent big to try a build that will be able to compete with the dominant force that is Bayern Munich. I also managed to re-coup alot of the funds spent on bringing players in by selling off the deadwood I inherited from the previous manager and controversially allowing a few fan favourites such as Sviene Rune Holmen to leave simply because I didn't really rate them as highly as the fans did and I was able to get very good money for them.
Borussia Dortmund - 2027/2028 Mid Season Update
After an initial struggle(probably down to all the signings trying to gel) we've been very impressive and are not far behind Bayern Munich who as expected are leading from the front. The first game after the winter break is crucial as we welcome Bayern Munich to the Signal Iduna Park. A win in that game would allow us to put real pressure on Bayern by moving just a point behind them, but defeat would leave us with a lot of work to do if we want to prevent them from winning a 6th league title in a row.
UEFA Europa League - Through the 1st Knockout Round
The perfect European campaign so far. After coming through the qualifying round with relative ease against Polish side Lech we cruised through our group, winning 6 out of 6 games and topping the group. In the 1st knockout round we've been handed a tough tie against cash rich Spanish side FC Cartagena.
DFB-Pokal - Through to the Quarter Finals
It's been a comfortable route to the Quarters so far as we started off by easily despatching lower league side Barnberg in what was our first competitive game of the season. In the 2nd round we came up against fellow Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, and again won with ease before seeing off 2nd tier side Gladbach in the 3rd round.
Great start to the season and all competitions
Very nice start .
Brazil - Year 2027 Review
A big improvement on last year for the Brazil national team as we performed well in friendlies, only losing to England in what was a disappointing performance. I was also able to guide the nation to continental glory as we triumphed in the Copa America, the country's first since 2007. This year qualification for the 2030 World Cup begun and after 4 games we sit 2nd in the table.
Best Eleven
End of Year World Ranking - 2nd
Key Players
Xaropinho (DR/WBR) - A very solid year for the full back. Unfortunately he suffered an injury in the first game of the Copa America which ruled him out of the rest of that tournament, but he was excellent every time he played this year.
Pereira (CB) - Started every game we played this and was a key reason why we only conceded two goals in the Copa America.
Angelo (ST/AMC) - Now a veteran in this Brazil side with 116 caps. I'm not sure if he will surpass Pele's all time top goalscoring record of 77, but nevertheless, he will go down as a Brazil legend.
Fuska (AMC/ST) - Was very good in the Copa America and is a key player in this side.
Felipinho (ST) - Top goalscorer in the Copa America and had an all round excellent year.
Borussia Dortmund - 2027/2028 Season Review
We came back from the winter break in 2nd place, 4 points behind Bayern. The first game back was crucial as we faced Bayern at home, a game we emphatically won 5-0, sending out a real signal of intent to the side who had won 8 of the last 10 Bundesliga titles. In the months following that result we maintained good form, but after an embarrassing 6-0 defeat in the derby game against Schalke I was wasn't sure if we would have the mental strength to recover from such a setback, but credit to the squad, we did and surprisingly Bayern seemed to buckle under pressure, failing to win 4 games in a row during the month of April which allowed us to gain control of the title race. Although we seemed to try our best to throw away the title by not winning our final 2 games, our superior goal difference meant we became champions for the first time since 2013.
DFB-Pokal - Winners!
2nd tier side Ingolstadt were easily brushed aside in the quarters, but in the semi's we were given our toughest game in the competition up to that point as Frankfurt made things very difficult for us and were probably unlucky to not send the game to extra time. We managed to sneak through that and the final was an incredible game as we took a 4-3 lead in the 93rd minute, only for Stuttgart to go down the other end from kick off and equalise, sending the game into extra time. With both sides in stalemate after extra time the game went to penalties were we prevailed, winning 3-1 and securing the double.
UEFA Europa League - Knocked out in the Semi-Finals
After coming through what proved to be a fantastic 1st round knockout tie against Cartagena, we breezed past Hamburg, winning 9-0 on aggregate. We then pulled of a great victory in the quarters, beating Sampdoria in Italy after a 1-1 draw in the home leg. Unfortunately we weren't able to reach the final as fellow Bungesliga side and title rivals Kaiserslautern prevailed on penalties after an incredibly tight two legs of football. Atletico Madrid went on to win the trophy, winning 1-0 in the final.
Fixtures 1 | 2 | 3
Squad Stats
There were some departures in the January window as I got rid of some more of the dead wood I inherited from the previous coach. I also allowed a promising youngster in Branko Martac to go out on loan to gain first team experience.
Key Players
Julian Andres Bermudez (CB/DM/CM) - Excellent first season at the club for the powerful defender as he was named defender of the year.
Islam Shokry (MR/AMR) - Part of our fantastic front four that allowed us to play some fantastic attacking football this season.
Guido Barrios (ST/AML/AMC) - It took a club record transfer fee to bring him in, but he was certainly worth the money. At the end of the season he was named German Football of the Year.
Amir Hossam (AMC/MC) - A fantastic début season for the attacking midfielder as he provided plenty of goals and assists.
Gilson (ST/AMC) - What a season! Top goalscorer in the league and 52 goals in all competitions. All that for just £6.5M.

- After such a fantastic season I was named Manager of the Year and also Players Manager of the Year.
- The board announced that they were to be expanding the stadium by 3,430 seats. They also announced that the clubs facilities would be downgraded due to technological advances.
- After Marco Van Basten decided to retire from management I was offered the Manchester United job. I rejected it as I've only just joined Dortmund and there's plenty more I want to achieve with them.
Excellent season,right decision to reject Utd as I don't think a CL title is that far away.
It's not easy but the CL is managable.
Great work Rogan.
Good job on the Double. Looking at a possible CL run for the finals in a couple years then?
Nice first season with Dortmund .
Nice season mate!

Located near Washington Square Park in the heart of New York City's Greenwich Village, NYU New York is the cornerstone of the Global Network University. We hope that all our students spend at least a semester here, and hope their families have the chance to visit as well.
New York City can be a little confusing and listing all the hotels in the city when there are far more useful online tools that do so wouldn't be helping you out at all. Since there are so many options available on where to stay and you could live in any of the five boroughs, recommending hotels isn't an option.
However, we have NYU Traveler available to help you pick hotels that give NYU-related discounts to NYU community members.
No matter where you stay, we hope you enjoy your visit to New York University and take advantage of the wonderful resources the City has to offer.
We can also give you an idea of where to look when you're looking at hotels. Here's a brief overview:
Falls Between These Streets: 14th Street in the north, down to Houston Street
Includes These Neighborhoods: the West Village and the East Village
This is where we are and staying here might be expensive, but getting to and from freshmen dorms is easy.
We say "Howston", not "Hewston" just so you know.
Falls Between These Streets: Houston Street to the north and the bottom of Manhattan in the south.
Neighborhoods include: SoHo, Little Italy, Lower East Side, Chinatown, TriBeCa, Financial District, and Battery Park City.
Hotels in these areas will require a long walk or a subway ride to get to the Washington Square area, and if you're coming from the Lower East Side pay special close attention to where those trains are. Some of them are going to be a long way from your hotel.
Chelsea, Union Square, Garment District, Murray Hill, Flatiron District
Midtown and the bottom of Central Park
you're gonna need to take a train downtown, it will take you about 30-40 minutes.
Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Carol Gardens, Brooklyn Heights

I'm thinking of writing a paper on a new way of deriving the conservation of energy from symmetry principles and the Galilean transformations, but I'm not sure where to publish. Taking a look at AJP, it tends to be there for teachers at universities writing papers on how best to teach a certain topic, and to clear up misunderstandings. On the other hand, my paper certainly isn't to do with cutting edge physics, but merely another approach to something that is understood in other ways, and therefore not worthy of being published in Physics review, say.
So where should I publish?
More generally, how are the papers physicists publish mainly categorised, and which main journals publish papers in these areas?

What frequent shopper programs / reward point systems do you use?
Sometimes they can be a hassle, but it's fun getting something [seemingly] free every so often.
I get 1600 X-box Live points about every 4 months from Speedway rewards club. (I have to get gas anyway so it's a nice bonus)
I hit 1000 points on Coke Rewards but have yet to browse any possibilities.
My parents dropped two and a half grand at Best Buy and I reaped the rewards points on my card.
Back in the day, I collected Kool-Aid points.
Anyone else make use of frequent shopper / reward systems?
13 Answers answer
These guys seem to like mypoints and swagbucks -
I love the reward points I get from my American Express. I use it whenever I can and the points add up quickly. I also like that you can link the reward points to my Amazon account (this is fairly new). When I checkout I am given the opportunity to checkout using my reward points. I am also shown a dollar value that the points are worth at amazon.
Best Buy, Kroger, and my local movie theater are the ones I use mainly.
I get points from Bing and Gamestop. Just got a 3 month Hulu subscription from Bing.
Regal Rewards - I'm a movie freak
Because I travel a lot, I use airline mileage reward card and starwood amex (where points allow one to convert to miles, use points, etc.)
Subway Rewards is pretty good
10 Points = 1 Cookie
15 Points = 1 Bag of Chips
20 Points = 21 oz. Drink
35 Points = Mini Sub
50 Points = Regular 6" Sub or Wrap
75 Points = Regular Foot-Long Sub or Salad
1 Point = 1 Dollar and sometimes they have Triple or Double points days (at least at my local Subway)
AmEx, and my credit union's reward point program is pretty good as well.
Wait, since when does Subway do points? And why did I not get any? I know they used to have the stamp card, but got rid of those awhile ago.
@mustardsquarepants: You can ask for a Subway Cash Card, and it basically doubles as a Gift Card and Rewards Card. Your local stores may not do rewards though..
I don't have a balance on my Cash Card, so I just hand them the Cash Card first and have them slide it then pay with cash/credit. It will say how many points you have on the receipt
More info: http://tinyurl.com/ygs3rnq
@promyst: Where do you live? They ended our Subway point program in WA a couple of years ago but, when it was available we earned lots of free subs.
I kinda like the rewards I get from hanging around and playing on Deals. Unexpected loot and coupons are pretty cool rewards for just being me is pretty cool! :)
@promyst: Sweet! Thanks for the info, I'll check it out!
I use coke rewards a lot. I usually ahve at least 1800 points banked for any good deals that come up, and I buy at least one 30point coupon for a free 20oz coke per week. I use the coupon at cvs, where 9 20oz cokes earns you a cvs coupon for another free 20oz. I also use cvs's green bag tag so every 4th coke earns me a $1 extrabuck reward.
best rewards program was the 1.5% I used to get back on my old amex blue card. I would order $5,000 of the dollar coins with free shipping from the US mint, then take them to the bank, deposit, and pay the bill at the end of the month. I did that several times about 2 years ago, and ended up earning. $75 free money for about 1/2 hour of my time. Although you do get strange looks carrying 100 lbs of coins into the bank....

Many women take kallah classes before getting married in order to be familiar and comfortable with the laws of taharas mishpacha. I have heard that there are similar classes for men, and it makes sense to me that the man should be comfortable with the laws as well. When I search online for information about such classes, though, I find very little information. What exactly would be covered in a chasan class, and how might one find such a class in his region?

Yes, such classes exist, and are recommended for potential bridegrooms. Speak to the rabbi of any orthodox synagogue, and he should be able to direct you someone who can tutor you in this field. So, I suspect, can the head or mashgiach of any bes midrash. Covered topics are hilchos nida and v'sasos, k'vod ishto, and others, though the exact list varies from tutor to tutor.
These classes are usually one-on-one chevrutot with your rabbi (or someone he directs you to), so you're not going to find them online, or even with a fixed schedule.
Talk to your rabbi and he will direct you what to do.

When I play as a medic I almost always use the medigun. In what situations is the Kritzkreig more useful?
First, you need to look at when the übercharge is useful: taking out entrenched engineer nests, and leading a strong push. This makes übercharge particularly useful for spearheading an assault.
On the other hand, the Kritzkrieg is useful for countering a push, because it lets someone push out a large amount of damage in a short span of time. Use the kritzkrieg to clear contested points, hunt down regrouping enemies, etc.
The Kritzkrieg also charges faster. If you're finding you often die before you get a chance to deploy an übercharge, you might try switching to the kritzkrieg, as you'll build up the kritz-über faster.
While the answer is situational. Lets cover the basics first:
*New in TF2 Beta, also speeds you up when healing a faster target, such as a Scout. However, it has no overheal, although you can continue healing targets to build your Übercharge.
Now for some scenarios:
So, the rule of thumb is to start with the Medigun if there are setup gates. Be aware that the walls can be jumped on cp_well. Use the Medigun to take down Sentry Guns. Kritzkrieg works well for pushes against sets of enemies that have no sentry farms. Quick Fix is still new and may be useful in one of these two situations, I haven't tested it enough to tell.
You already got some good answers, so I only add a point that could be useful and hasn't been mentioned yet.
Due to the fact that most servers have 24 slot or even 32 slots in order to have some chances to win your team usually needs at least two medics, sometimes three.
In this case having one medic with medigun and one with kritzkrieg guarantees good team flexibility. An übercharge used to destroy the sentryguns or the opponent heavy+medic duo followed by a kritzcharge could be extremely painful and could break stalemate situations.
The Kritzkreig leaves your target open to damage, making it less useful in games with many players (and a lot of damage going out). It works best on soldiers and demos, because they can do damage without getting close to the fight. Also, critical rockets and grenades quickly take out players surrounding a sentry, so the Kritzkreig uber will kill Engineers repairing sentries. The Medigun's uber will have a harder time killing engineers because there is no bonus damage against players.
Also, the Kritzkreig charges quicker than the Medigun. If you're losing or trying to take a capture point the Kritzkreig will both charge faster and provide more damage output to clear the point, especially on Soldiers and Demomen (once again).
In short: use the Kritzkreig for destroying big Engineer setups that you can fire at from a distance, or to clear capture points. Otherwise you will have better luck with the Medigun when you have enough time to charge it.
I'm not a competitive player myself, but I do believe I understand the theory behind competitive play reasonably well. Please correct any mistakes in the comments.
In competitive Control Point play, teams are limited to one Medic each. The team whose Medic is closer to being able to deploy an Ubercharge is said to have "Uber advantage". It is very difficult to stop a skilled, ubered team from capturing a point, so having Uber advantage is essential.
Imagine the opposing team reaches full Ubercharge first and pushes into your point. The worst possible outcome is if the team takes control of the point and kills your Medic in the process, since they will maintain Uber advantage (your Medic is dead while the opposing team is already building the next Uber).
If your Medic is reasonably close to a full Uber himself, the best option might be to force the opposing Medic to deploy Uber, but ultimately concede the point in order to protect your own Medic. Hopefully your own Medic will have Uber ready shortly after the point is taken, and you can immediately reclaim the point. Even better would be if you could reclaim the point and kill the enemy Medic, swinging the Uber advantage in your team's favor.
If your Medic has died recently and the opposing team has significant Uber advantage, you might want your Medic to spawn with Kritzkrieg (finally getting to your question). Since the Kritzkrieg charges much faster than the Medigun, you may be able to meet the opposing team's Uber with your own Kritz. This is particularly relevant if your team is defending their last control point, since conceding the point is not an option. If all goes well, Kritz will allow your team to get several one-hit kills against enemies that are not currently Ubered, decreasing their capping ability considerably. In the very best case, you will enjoy such an advantage in numbers that you can track down and kill the enemy Medic. If your team's Medic now switches back to Medigun, you will have successfully defended your point and regained Uber advantage, which is quite a spectacular play.
And now you have the Vaccinator as an option, so let's go over some good situations to use that Medigun in too.
The Vaccinator serves many of the same functions as the regular Medigun with its ability to reduce damage, but is especially effective at punishing a team that overinvests in a particular source of damage. Against 5 Soldiers, Explosive resistance can save a team's life. Against Snipers, bullet resistance can mean the difference between life and death.
Like I said before though, it can also serve as a reliable mini-uber, which means it is good for spearheading an assault. Bullet resistance works wonders against an engineer nest, and any type of resistance (against a type of damage the other team is using) is always helpful.
Another good use of the Vaccinator is when you find it difficult to build up an Uber, but badly need the help that a Medic's charge can provide. The mini-ubers that the Vaccinator builds up take very little time to charge, and you can split them out however you like to help your team.
That being said, it takes a lot of skill and a LOT of situational awareness to know what type of Mini-uber (or even what type of base resistance) to employ at any given time. So on a personal level, if you don't feel like you have that much situational awareness, or can't make that split-second decision on which resistance to use, then it might be better to use a regular Medigun or Quik-Fix.

Is there a general method for removing a sum from an expression to produce a closed form?
For example I needed to "unroll" the following expression in a recent programming competition (as $k_1$ and $k_2$ are large) and couldn't do it...
$$ \sum_{w=2}^{k_1}\sum_{h=2}^{k_2}(w-1)(h-1) $$
Do I miss some discrete math training? By what method would you go about solving this? Is there a common textbook that would cover this?

The American Colonization Society thought that colonizing Africa for the purpose of returning US slaves to Africa was the solution to slavery problems. Why, and how, did they come to decide that the area now known as Liberia was the ideal choice for such an endeavor? Was it because most US slaves came from west Africa?
Why was the area now known as Liberia chosen as the location for repatriation of African slaves in the US?
Liberia is near the Ivory Coast and the Gold Coast (Ghana) that was the center of the slave trade. But it was a piece of relatively uninhabited land near the other two.
"Freed" slaves came from two sources. 1) Slaves that were freed in the United States and sent to Liberia, and 2) Slaves that were "intercepted" and freed coming from the Ivory and Gold Coasts. Because of its location on the western "corner" of Africa, Liberia was ideal for placing both sets of freeman.

Jonathan Francis, [Sr.], 1910 - 1963
Our new St. Helena Branch Library, located at 6355 Jonathan Francis Sr. Road on St. Helena Island, will soon be opened to the public. We've been asked for a little information about the namesake of the road.
Q: Who was Jonathan Francis?
A: According to his death notices in the Beaufort Gazette of 1963 (on file in the BDC Research Room), Francis was the principal of St. Helena High School from 1947 to his death from a heart attack on Sept. 15, 1963. He had previously served as the first Negro principal of Penn High School and at Michael C. Riley school in Bluffton. His professional memberships included Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, National Association of Secondary School Principals, the National Education Association, American Teachers Association and the Beaufort County Teachers Association.
The published obituary states: "Under the expert leadership of Mr. Francis, the St. Helena High School has progressed tremendously in the addition of faculty, facilities and educational offerings. A student body of more than 800 students as well as many others mourn the loss of a great leader and educator of St. Helena High School, Beaufort County, and South Carolina."

Is it true that any finitely presented group can be realized as fundamental group of compact 3-manifold with boundary?
A couple of extra points.
Any compact 3-manifold with boundary $M$ can be doubled to give a closed 3-manifold $D$. As $M$ is a retract of $D$, it follows that $\pi_1(M)$ injects into $\pi_1(D)$. Therefore, any "poison subgroup" (such as the Baumslag--Solitar groups that Richard mentions above) applies just as well to compact 3-manifolds as closed 3-manifolds.
Other classes of poison subgroups can be constructed from cohomological conditions. The Kneser--Milnor Theorem implies that any closed, irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group is aspherical. It follows that any freely indecomposable infinite group with cohomologial dimension greater than 3 cannot be a subgroup of a closed 3-manifold (and hence of a compact 3-manifold, by the previous paragraph).
Oh, and yet another source of poison subgroups comes from Scott's theorem that 3-manifold groups are coherent, meaning that every finitely generated subgroup is finitely presented. This rules out subgroups like $F\times F$ (where $F$ is a free group), which is not coherent.
No. The Baumslag solitar groups $\langle a, b | ab^m a^{-1} = b^n \rangle$ are not 3-manifold groups when $m \neq n$.
Heil, Wolfgang H. Some finitely presented non-$3$-manifold groups. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 53 (1975), no. 2, 497--500.
(See also Peter Shalen, Three-Manifolds and Baumslag-Solitar groups Topology Appl. 110 (2001), 113--118)
I recently heard of a result due to Aitchison and Reeves which shows that any finitely presented group arises as the fundamental group of a 3-dimensional orbifold (where fundamental group means the topological and not the orbifold fundamental group). In fact, they say that the orbifold can be taken to be the quotient of a closed oriented hyperbolic 3-manifold by an isometric involution with isolated fixed points, all modelled on $x\mapsto -x$.
(I'm certainly no expert on this topic, just passing on what I heard.)

I need to construct such a polynomial, and more generally: given a group G, how can it be realized as a galois group?
closed as too localized by Steven Landsburg, Todd Trimble♦, Alex Bartel, JSE, Felipe Voloch Sep 10 '12 at 23:13
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
For the case that $D_8$ is interpreted to be with $16$ elements (which is the case according to OP on M.SE) an example is given by $$ x^8 - 3 x^5 - x^4 + 3x^3 +1 $$ This is a polynomial with minimal (in absolute value) discriminant with that Galois group.
For the other interpretation of $D_8$ a polynomial with minimal discriminat would be $$x^4 - x^3 -x^2 +x +1 $$
As said in the comments the general problem is difficult (indeed open even regarding existence, that is over the rationals, which I assume is the intention of the question).
The above polynomials and information are taken from the database of Jürgen Klüners and Gunter Malle where a great many examples and information can be found, presented in a nice way. So, for examples for specific not too large groups one migt well find a polynomial there, even if one wishes additional restrictions (on the siganture, say).
Over $\Bbb Q$, F. Seidelmann, in "Die Gesamtheit der kubischen und biquadratischen Gleichungen mit Affekt bei beliebigen Rationalitätsbereich, Math. Ann. 78, 230--233 (1917)", gives the following parametric representation of degree $4$ equations with group $D_8$: $$x^4-2(e^2f+g)x^2-4efx+[(e^2f-g)^2-f]=0$$ (with some restrictions on the parameters)
For Galois groups up through degree eight, you can easily provide an infinte number of examples by the function field extensions listed here:

A few bucks more gets you the 11-disc version on Amazon. I think the 11-disc set may be a Region Free import, though.
To clarify, the Amazon.co.uk 11-disc version is region free as a Blu-ray format, not a dvd format. I believe the DVD is still encoded Region 2, which won't play on U.S. players set up for Region 1.
Blu-Ray version runs about the same price in U.S. Dollars, but you'll have to wait about a week after ordering to get it shipped standard speed.

Sure, they can influence residuals for fuel efficient cars, but that has too limited and indirect of an impact on new car purchases.That's why they overwhelmingly support CAFE and don't trust the automakers and new car buyers to give them what they want.

Going Galt on Pope Francis?
CNBC reports that some in the Catholic donor class are becoming restless with Pope Francis's emphasis on economic justice. That's according to billionaire founder of Home Depot, Ken Langone, who is heading up a $180 million capital campaign for the New York Archdiocese: (HT TPM)
Langone told CNBC that one potential seven-figure donor is concerned about statements from the pope criticizing market economies as "exclusionary," urging the rich to give more to the poor and criticizing a "culture of prosperity" that leads some to become "incapable of feeling compassion for the poor." Langone said he's raised the issue more than once with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, most recently at a breakfast in early December at which he updated him on fundraising progress.
"I've told the cardinal, 'Your Eminence, this is one more hurdle I hope we don't have to deal with. You want to be careful about generalities. Rich people in one country don't act the same as rich people in another country,' " he said. . . . Langone, who describes himself as a devout Catholic who prays every morning, said he has told the cardinal that "you get more with honey than with vinegar."

Oh, what's a poor plutocrat to do?
I love the exceptionalist boilerplate, as well as the tripe about "one more hurdle." The last forty years has been nothing but the dismantling of hurdles for capitalists like Langone.
Eduardo, you didn't mention more pointedly Langone's not-so-subtle attempt at blackmail. He informed Cardinal Dolan that he knows of "seven-figure donors" who might hold back their money from the capital campaign because they're "offended" or skeered of Comrade Francis' raving Marxism.
Honestly, we have the touchiest, whiniest ruling class in American history. They're oh so beleaguered. Ruling-class self-pity is the most pathetic kind.
Oddly enough, it's Pope Francis' "honey" that seems to be responsible for much of the favorable reaction to him....
Math was my worst subject, but as I recall, a billion is 1,000 million. If Langone is worth even one billion, he could fund the $180 million capital campaign himself out of petty cash and still be among the superrich. What's holding him back?
Angela -- I think it's called avarice.
What's holding him back?
It's oh so easy to be generous with other people's money, isn't it?
The post says "billionaire founder of Home Depot." It's his money, not other people's money. Read before you post.
Well, as Francis would probably say, if Mr. Langone is sincerely seeking God and he feels he has done his share for the poor, who am I to judge?
It's his money, not other people's money.
Mark -- Not at all precisely. You and I differ over the meaning of "his money" in two related ways.
First, the point of Angela's post, as I understood it, was that Langone himself -- using "his money," not other people's money -- could have put up the whole $180 million and still go swimming with the sharks in the pool of the 1%. Your complaint that "it's oh so easy to be generous with other people's money" speaks, as I understand it, to what you consider Angela's desire to be cavalier with Langone's money. I wanted it to be clear that both Angela and I are referring to Langone's pile.
Second (and I speak for myself here, not Angela), since I do think that, for reasons I explained above, Poor Rich Kid Langone is a thief -- now matter how "generous" he is with "his money" -- that money truly belongs to the employees of Home Depot, whom he exploits every day. I would maintain that it isn't his money -- it's rightfully theirs. Langone himself is oh so generous with other people's money.
If the fat cat donors withhold their money, Francis will get the poorer church he wants. I do not think he will be deterred by their threats. It is the American bishops who will have to live with the downsizing and Dolan, already oversized, will find out what the Gospel really demands. I say "Bring it on.!"
Your cynicism is breathtaking, but i think you are on the wrong side of history in this case. Wallow in your pride.
Gene, you actually do speak for me regarding who's the rightful owner of the money Langone claims is his. I wish I'd said it myself.
So, if I'm understanding this, the super-rich are threatening to withhold major gifts to the Church to prove that they really are so generous that we ought not to worry about the poor being cared for, to prove that amassing huge amounts of wealth is not corrupting, to demonstrate how Catholic faith can live comfortably and productively alongside their massive wealth...? QED. Just, not the way they mean it.
It's much easier for me to be generous with other people's money, considering I have none. ;)
" … It's his money, not other people's money."
When he give it, yes. But when he takes the tax deduction …. No!
"It's their business how they donate their money, of course. But not entirely. As with all tax deductions, the government has to match the charitable deduction with additional tax revenues or spending cuts; otherwise, the budget deficit widens.
In economic terms, a tax deduction is exactly the same as government spending. Which means the government will, in effect, hand out $40 billion this year for "charity" that's going largely to wealthy people who use much of it to enhance their lifestyles.
To put this in perspective, $40 billion is more than the federal government will spend this year on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (what's left of welfare), school lunches for poor kids, and Head Start, put together."
The teanuts should be up in arms about this.
At 8:05 pm, you say it's his money [emphasis in original], wanting to make clear to me, in no uncertain terms, that the money is Langone's.
At 9:12 pm(first paragraph), you reiterate that point yet, inexplicably, claim that you have some say, or should have some say, in how he chooses to donate it.
At 9:12 pm (second paragraph), you assert that, no, it's not his money.
Perhaps once I have a better idea of what you really think—indeed, once you have a better idea of what you really think—we can continue the conversation. ;-)
Please tell Father S. I said Hi next time you see him.
cynicism? The problem here is phariseism...

Scholarships are an important source of funding for our students. The university annually awards over 1,000 scholarships, providing support for students based on both academic and merit achievements. This funding is made possible through the generous support of our donors. If you are interested in either contributing to an existing or creating a new scholarship, please take some time to review the following options:
There are several scholarship programs to which patrons may donate money. If you have any questions about contributing to an existing scholarship program, contact the coordinator for university scholarships.
Donors have many reasons for why they wish to create new scholarships. Quite often they want to provide funding for students who embody certain ideals. These ideals may resemble their own development as a person or an individual who was a mentor. There are many criteria that new scholarships can be based upon.
To create a scholarship with a particular major or field of interest, contact the appropriate Director of Development to assist you in establishing the scholarship (ex. scholarship for finance majors are created though the College of Business Administration Development Office). You may also contact the Coordinator of University Scholarships if your scholarship will be open to all majors and you would like the Center for Scholarship Information to assist in the administration of your scholarship.

Hi everyone,
Well after 81 pages of somewhat fantastic (and sadly some less so) ideas it's about time we had a bit of a refresh. So please feel free to post any idea (ideally with a brief description of how it'd work) which you'd like to see in the game.
Just to clarify a few things mind, at no point will we ever allow Manager's to spend their wages/invest into the club so I wouldn't suggest that one. Also if you've posted an idea in the old thread which you still think is relevant for the game feel free to re-raise it here. Although if I get 300 pages worth of copy and pastes it won't be ideal.
As always with these types of things we very much appreciate any feedback from the community. And do remember if you suggest an idea and it doesn't appear in the next version of Football Manager that doesn't mean it never will. We've already got a fair few ideas ourselves of things we'd like to see go in, but as with all things time can only be stretched so far.
For anyone looking to reminisce, the old thread can be found here - http://community.sigames.com/showthr...-ideas-in-here.
Many thanks,
Sports Interactive
