The arrows for attribute changes are pointing higher/lower and differ slightly in colour, as far as I observed, so there shouldn't be a problem spotting them.

this now. There are a couple of attributes there that actually have changed, most have not though. How am I supposed to know what's changed unless I've memorized every attribute of every player I have?
Short term training progress should be described on the training pages imo, 'show recent attribute changes' should do just that, indicate what's actually changed. Otherwise it's pretty close to being useless.
The attributes are stored on a scale of 1-100, so some changes will not be noticeable on the 1-20 scale, hence what you are seeing.
Maybe something like this could be made optional in a future version?
Edit: too much information is a poor choice of words. What I meant is that it's too precise. The difference between 15.1 and 15.3 isn't enough to warrant a shiny green arrow on my screen making things more difficult to follow

I've been lurking for a while cause of the easiness issue. Now, after 2 months of no game for me, I see that a new patch surfaced.
To the hard core ones : thumb up or down ?
Thx in advance
I like the changes & find myself having to pay more attention when I play, it was too easy to spend half a season hitting continue as you steamrollered your way to success before 12.1.1 was released.
That said I have noticed an increased instance of players not marking up correctly at set-pieces which might be an effect of the changes made to the ME.

Now that a new patch has surfaced I hope I can go on from where I left 2 months ago.
What's weird with that ? The campaign was a desperate cry to have a playable FM, at least for me.
My 2 cents. I too was caught with my pants down with the morale rebalancing thing. I was actually thinking maybe I was doing something wrong! The knockon effects of the rebalancing is quite significant to the way the game needs to be approached.
However, it didn't take me that long to figure it out. It's mostly common sense really. As a whole, I like this new patch and because of it, I now have to pay more attention to what's going on before, during and after matches especially with regard to my interactions with media and players. No more zoning out once you hit the "green zone".
I have 2 save files running now and my Whitecaps game is the one where the effect was felt the most. As a ex-pro (as opposed to an ex-international) rep manager, I had quite a few problems with motivation, just like everyone here. Just for reference, my playing staff stopped doubting me once I had led them to win the NACL and instead of having to deal with nerves I now have to deal with lack of interest and complacency!
Overall, the patch made the game a bit more difficult but I will have to disagree with the "game is broken" allegations. It's unfortunate that some of us here feel that way but to be honest, that extra bit of difficulty now has refired my interest again. I enjoyed it before but now I really can't wait to go home and fire up my saves!
My tip for people who got caught unawares is as follows:-
- Redo your tactics if your results are VASTLY different from before. Didn't really affect me much since I start out using defaults and modify them through shouts. It seems that many users are experiencing a jarring difference with their setup, so I recommend going back to basics and starting from there.
- Take control of teamtalks. From my experience go easy on players during rough patches, even more so when playing strong opposition away, even MORE so when you rep is lower than your club/playing staff. LOOK AT THE ODDS. Your approach to your teamtalks should be based on this. Take everything in context, it's not so hard to do if you stop and think for a second. It's ok to praise a narrow loss against a strong opponent and to criticize a narrow win against a weak one. Team personality also needs to be taken into account.
- Stick it out. On some days, bad form is bad and there nothing to do but ride it out. The least a manager can do is not make things worse.
I feel sorry to read about all the guys/girls who have lost interest in the game due to the "problems" caused by the changes because I truly am enjoying it more than before. I hope things work out for them.

That is a demonstration how skilled and valuable this community is, well done mate, many compliments for your precious posts.
Would you please very briefly enlighten me about the issue you mentioned elaborating it a bit more ? I am under the impression that the last pacth ( c'mon SI the last effort please ) will need again your input BiggusD and support.
Much appreciated
Grep my best advice to you is just try it for yourself.
With Roma, however, where I also started out on Automatic reputation, I got a Regional reputation from the beginning and even with the previous patch (1,5 seasons) I had problems motivating the squad. When the patch came I lost even more respect among my players, but did well despite of this - ended 2nd behind my friend managing Napoli. Then when the third season started, I have had huge problems with nervousness of unprecedented levels. Still winning, but many matches are really painful to watch,as my defenders are invariably hoofing the ball wildly into the stands regardless of passing options and pressure. The tactic luckily prevents huge chances against and creates huge chances for me - but I get the feeling that the entertainment value of the game has gone down because of the lack of beautiful football; the kind we got used to with players having great morale and motivation.
To be more specific; I think there is a lack of good attacking play now that superb morale is gone from the equation. The defending is also too nervous and panicky overall (this also counts for the AI).
Ok or Good morale and decent motivation should be enough to let good players play good football, but I see much less of it now. As such I understand the frustrations of those who interpret this as the patch taking away the fun of the game - but I think that the animations in the ME just doesn't show the best stuff when players are medium motivated. I don't think SI will be able to patch in more beautiful football for non-superb-morale, non-winning-streak situations.
Regarding reputation, there seems to be an unfortunate knock-on effect there as well. There's sort of a dead-lock if you start out with low reputation! If you do well the club's reputation will increase along with yours in an apparent dead-even manner, so there is no way to gain respect among the players! If you don't do that well, the reputation of both you and the club will stay the same. Sadly, if you and the club has roughly equal reputation, the players won't respect you. I think that SI needs to tweak this so that the manager vs club vs player reputation thingy is less black-and-white. Only controversial players should openly oppose his manager to the extent we see professional, level-headed players do now, and after a few years with the same manager doing reasonably well the relationship should improve.
I also wonder about the sudden and severe nervousness settling in among my players. They are nervous at default, and lacking respect among the players they don't react at all to the team talks so there is nothing I can do about it. Why are my players suddenly nervous three seasons into the game, and how can I improve my reputation more than the club's?
I have not had time to play football manager recently but fancied to finally start playing the game but for some reason it didn't load up so I turned steam to offline still nothing then uninstalled steam and football manager thought I would try to do a fresh installation but now when I try to install the game it says steam needs to be online to update set to online but I don't see how I can change it now. Can anybody help me please. I have a macbook if that makes any difference.
But that may take 6-7 seasons or more. Having stayed at a club for three seasons doing better than expected in all of them, don't you think that the players would like me quite well internally even though externally the footballing world thinks I am a lowlife?
What do you mean by " the super morale setting is gone from the equation " ?
Is super morale still achievable or it has been cut out ?
Of course its achievable, just not easy to sustain for as long.
Regarding reputation, there seems to be an unfortunate knock-on effect there as well. There's sort of a dead-lock if you start out with low reputation! If you do well the club's reputation will increase along with yours in an apparent dead-even manner, so there is no way to gain respect among the players! If you don't do that well, the reputation of both you and the club will stay the same
I will overtake them given that I start to win stuff
Also in your post you dont say the players dont respect you in the third season, you say they play with a lot of nerves, which is a different problem to players not responding to your team talks. Players can like you and still play nervously, that is most likely caused by over achieving the year before and your players being under more pressure.
Not that i mind them, i just see them all the time now on most of me players.
Hi all, have just came across a problem after managing Fortuna Dusseldorf from the German Second Division, to Europa League qualification in 6 seasons, all the German League fixtures (1st and 2nd divisions) have disappeared. All I am left with is German Cup and Europa League and any friendlies I arrange. Whats happened and can I fix this without losing this current save?
... which brings me to the other thing you said: it is a problem precisely because they aren't responding when I tell them to relax
Technical Issues forum please. One of our Mac experts will better serve you there.

I think the problem with using the match odds as a guideline for team talks is they are too heavily based on reputation, and not enough on form. To use a real life example, right now both Norwich and Swansea would start as favourites in a home match against Villa, but in the game they would be heavy underdogs.
Hi, since the 12.0.4 patch all matches in 1 round (PL, Champs League etc.) are played at the same time regardless of TV coverage. This wasnt fixed with the 12.1 patch. 'Move matches for TV' has been both checked and unchecked to try to fix but to no avail. How do I fix? Very frustrating that all games are played at 3pm on a Saturday. Thanks, Si
That's not happening on my game, Premier League TV matches are moving to their correct time slots & CL games all KO at 19:45 UK time.
hmmm, its crazy! all PL league games are sat 3pm or wed 7.45, with 3, 4 or even 5 on 'tv' at the same time, champs league are all played same time wed nights (all 8 groups, all 2nd rounds, QFs etc.) europa league all wed nights, fa cup games all at same time 3pm on saturdays, no idea where its come from! patch 12.0.4 did something! was fine up til that point. mind you i didnt download any other patches before then, but later patches cover all changes from previous right? so wouldnt expect it to be that
I've not seen anyone mention this problem, your best bet is to post about this in the bugs forum & upload your save file to ftp for the guys at SI to have a look & see what is going wrong.
What you're describing does sound like the 'move matches for TV' option is not working correctly.
Ok will do, thanks for the suggestion!!
Update this morning? What was it for?
Steam updated dont think fm did though did it ??
Just Steam updated not FM, there's a fix for local content deletion/download which may affect FM players though, not sure as it doesn't specify what it fixed.
Hi SI Games and whoever may help,
My game keeps crashing around the 25th June - 8th July going into my third season....it keeps coming up with some error.
I don't have the error code as Windows likes to quickly resolve the issue and closes it before I have a chance to print screen
My drivers are up-to-date and my laptop more than meets the minimum requirements
The last time I had this EXACT issue was with Football Manager 2007 and I thought since moving on to create 2012...things like this would be sorted out...
I would appreciate your support on what I should do to overcome this crash dump/error (whatever it is)
Thanks in advance
Or what would be better, to include the arrows, if you hover over the attribute, it tells you the EXACT rating (ie, 14.8)
Every tiny increase changes the way the attribute will be used in the ME, even 0.1 of a change makes a difference when it comes to the ME. If you click on the attribute it will take you to a graph and you can see yourself what the increase is.
Anyone else getting alot more crashes since the update? i am playing on a save game from the previous patch so maybe that could be it
And with regards to the graph, i didn't know that, so thanks mate.
Attribute changes are hugely tied into training progress.
Okay, please bear with me on this one.... I've played FM for years but never used a 'Patch' or 'Update' I've always just taken the game for what it is....
Could somebody please help me with my queries below...
Is a 'Patch' or a 'Thread' the same thing?
Where do I find, download and apply a patch or thread to my game?
If I download the latest patch or thread will that then include updates and data from previous patches released since the original game but before the latest path or thread?
If I add a patch/thread to my 'save-game' will players then move automatically in-line with IRL transfers?
Thanks for your help with this.
This now gives you a more detailed instant view of how your players are progressing, i really dont see the problem, if you dont want to see the arrows turn them off, you can still check progression through the other ways you mentioned with the arrows off. Its just something a bit new people have to get used too, hopefully it stays this way for future version.
It's not something that I should have to get used to, it's something that should be made optional or improved (couple of good suggestions on how are being discussed here).
Who says they are not suppose to do what they do now? The arrows were always there to indicate attribute changes, they now do it to a more detailed level than they did before, they are not doing anything they shouldnt be.
You can use the graph to easily see attribute changes, click on any attribute and it will bring up the graph, go to the view tab top right and it will zoom in and you can see exactly what has changed and by how much.
I'm done going over and over this, we're clogging up the thread. The arrows show attribute changes, now more detailed than before, get used to it.
Again, I'm not even saying the new style system must be removed. But there should be an option to go back to the old way. Or at least use a different set of arrows for the minimal changes so one could still tell when the attribute has gone up or down.
Sorry did you design the feature, am i missing something here? You say its doing something its not suppose to do, even tho SI devs have explained to you its doing exactly what its described to do. Attributes dont, and have never gone from 13-14 for example, they have always gone 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 ect.
Attributes for as long as i can remember have been worked out on a 1-100 scale, not 1-20, nothing has changed under the bonnet in this respect. Its just we are giving a 1-20 scale on the attributes screen.
I'm aware of that and have been for a while. It isn't relevant to any of my points though.
Well the point is, attributes are working out on a 1-100 scale, the arrows show us progression on a 1-100 scale, have you considered that maybe the arrows didnt work properly before now?
Anyway like i said a few posts back, we're clogging up this feedback thread, feel free to PM me if you want to carry on discussing it
There is a simple way to look at the arrows displayed on the player profile page.
Treat them as a quick visual reference for the general effectiveness of your training regimes, green arrows indicate that your training is having a positive effect & red means you are retarding a players development, from there you can opt to take a closer look at the players development via there training page to see precisely what is going on.
As with many areas of FM the first screen you see does not & IMHO should not give the full picture as there is too much information to successfully convey on just one screen, it's all about the detail & SI have helpfully provided a staggered format to how information is fed to the player.
An "arrow" usually represents something that has "changed" (if it's not a button), so if nothing appears to have changed to the user, there should not be an "arrow".
The 1-100 backend is relatively meaningless - users aren't supposed to know it's 1-100 behind the scenes. The player screen is supposed to act as an interface that encapsulates all that logic behind the scenes. One day it could be 1-1000 behind the scenes, or it might turn into decimal numbers such as 50.42. We shouldn't need to care.
This is feedback so I don't see how it's clogging up the thread. Plus there's nothing here to be discussed privately.Anyway like i said a few posts back, we're clogging up this feedback thread, feel free to PM me if you want to carry on discussing it
You can estimate the 'finer detail' of the attributes by looking on any player's Training screen graphs, fwiw.
Now I'm confused. Which of the two come into play for Match Engine? the 1-20? or 1-100?
The difference between 14 and 15 is not divided into 5 extra segments. There is no way of knowing this is a 1-100 scale unless you know it because you've been told so by the developers. Regardless, this is not really relevant either.
The ME sees what is stored - 1 to 100.
I think everyone would be happy if there was just consistency between the screens. If 1-100 is important, used throughout the game, and worth showing on the training screen, it should be either shown everywhere by default, or an option to have 1-20 shown everywhere, including the training arrows.
It is a bit odd that 1-100 is used in game, but that all player attributes are entered in the database in a 1-20 format by researchers though?
They ate stored 1-100 as its easier to have a realistic progression of attributes that way through a player's career. However we think 1-20 makes more sense from a research point of view.
Using a 1-100 display reference is too finite & would remove an aspect of vagueness that currently exists, one 15 rating will be different to another 15 rating but if the 1-100 was displayed we'd know that one was a 71 & the other was a 77 making it easier to ensure you had the very best players.
On this issues ignorance (1-100 rating) is bliss & change is a bad thing.
This isn't a major issue but...
Italian Manager in charge of Italy is offered the Mexico job?
Seems a bit unrealistic to me.
So my feelings after the patch... The game definetly lost the fun factor. It is frustreting to see, how a world class striker like Mario Gomez is shooting 15 goals per season, when before the patch he shoot 30 goals. Yah, and don`t tell me about the motivation bug... Because you can`t tell me that the game is so horribely playable because SI have changed something in the process of motivating players. Second when I see how my players are playing when the ME kicks in in a match... I play Fc Bayern in FM12 but the style whitch i see when ME kicks in is horrible, passes are inaccurate, the players are shooting each other on, the goalies seem sometimes unbeatable, freekicks are bad (i`m thinking sometimes, why the hell do we need freekicks in the game when they are awfull simulated, 3 goals from freekicks last season... SI really??) and one more. I`ve got planty times a situation when the opponent team is scoring a goal against me and the game is saying that "That his first goal this season". This happens a lot of times. I read some posts on this topic and I see a lot of players are not happy with the current patch. SI is saying that they wanted to make the game more chellenging... Yeah, ok I can understand that, but it looks like that most of the players don`t want to be frustrated about the FM, they want to have fun. SO SI i would say that the 12.1.1 patch is to 80% an owngoal. Let make the next patch (goal) count
PS. Sorry for my bad english.

The one on one chance of striker vs keeper made me stop playing until the next patch comes.. (and I doubt that it will be fixed)
they just miss too much..
I have to say I think this alteration in the motivation levels of players and the complete randomness of team talks has killed FM12 for me. I was doing ok before the last patch, and had a common sense system of how to handle team talks (try not to be erratic and swing from one mood to another, try to be positive but let the players know if they were underperforming) but it seems completely random now. I rarely get any player being positive (green indicator) in team talks, and so many players just switch off irrespective of what you say to them. One example was a big home win for my Liverpool side against a Fulham side who were battling for the title with me. We won 4-1 and I told them it was a very good performance and still nobody reacted at all to that full time teamtalk. Not one single player showed they were pleased to have beaten a title rival - what?
I feel like the last patch has just taken away any common sense approach and I now feel like I am randomly trying things in the vain hope I do the right thing. I have tried managing teams from lower league, top leagues, using automatic rep, international footballer rep, but there is no feel that I am actually in control of what is happening and no matter what I try nothing gives the same reaction twice. Might as well use a bingo caller to randomly shout out my teamtalks!
Back to FM10 for me I think.
Jep I am sure they were happy with the win. Perhaps you telling them well done had no real bearing on their mood as a result?
What I choose as team talk doesn't seem to have any bearing on anything unless the players adore me. I think that the British idea of reputation and inherited status is shining through too much in 12.1.1, other cultures don't have the same attitude towards social rank. I wonder how Germans think about teenagers talking back to their boss and not following orders...
I wouldn't mind a "playing nervously" epidemic running through my squad every second match so much if it didn't render them unable to make a simple five yard pass.
Maybe the woodwork count is slightly higher than IRL, but its still not more than 1 per team each 2 matches at the high end. Perhaps teams suffering from it have strikers with a tendency to try to place the ball in the corners?
Anyway, no significant ME changes for 12.2, just so you don't get your hopes up.
Any update will be included with the Post-January transfer update as usual. We have no exact date set for this at this stage. Thanks.
no neil i have match getting the crossbar about 3 or 4 times ,i gone crazy after that
well if si don't make the game playable again (after a poll thread where the vast majority felt the game was fine pre patch) then i think me, and alot of others are done with this game
u can defend the motication issue as much as u want, but i havn't loaded up steam since i started a new game with this update, i don't even have the option to get rid of it and revert the game to how it was when i enjoyed it
poor form si, i have been a loyal customer for years and put alot of my money, into your products

Burnside's Lemma, whose list of names is longer than the proof, says that the number of orbits of a permutation group is the average number of fixed points of its elements. It's a very elegant result, but I'm a bit disappointed by the fact that the examples given in the textbooks always amount to counting some colorings of a symmetric object, up to symmetry (the less original example probably being the cube). My question is then: do you know some funnier (but still rather direct) applications of this result?
Burnside's lemma can be used to prove the Polya enumeration theorem, which has many applications; see, for example, these two blog posts. The application to the symmetric groups alone is the well-known exponential formula in combinatorics, which has many applications; see this blog post.
It also has applications to representation theory. If $X$ is a set on which a group $G$ acts, then the free vector space on $X$ is a representation $V$ of $G$ with character $\text{Fix}(g)$. Burnside's lemma and the orthogonality relations then tell you that the dimension of the invariant subspace of $V$ is the number of orbits of the action of $G$ on $X$. They also tell you that if $V$ decomposes as a direct sum $\oplus n_k V_k$ where the $V_k$ are irreducible, then $\sum n_k^2$ is the number of orbits of $G$ acting on $X \times X$. In particular, if $G$ acts double transitively there are two such orbits, so $V$ is the sum of a trivial representation and an irreducible representation.
(This application to representation theory, in turn, has applications to graph theory. See this blog post.)
Edit: Here are some MO and math.SE answers where I have used Burnside's lemma:
I want to point out one of the applications I mention in one of the above blog posts which I think is particularly "funny": Fermat's little theorem! Consider the cyclic group of order $p$ acting on the set of strings of length $p$ from an alphabet of size $a$. By Burnside's lemma the total number of orbits is
$$\frac{1}{p} \left( a^p + (p-1)a \right)$$
since there is one element which fixes every string and $p-1$ elements which only fix strings which repeat one letter $p$ times. The integrality of this number is equivalent to Fermat's little theorem. (For a generalization, see these two blog posts.)
Yes, there are many more funny applications, for sure, here are three of them:
I share with you the disappointment: this is such a general thing that it is only conceivable that the range of applications is bounded only by the imagination of the user...
You can use it to count the number of isomorphism classes of representations of a quiver over a finite field; Burnside's lemma was used for this purpose by Kac and Stanley (see Root Systems, Representations of Quivers and Invariant Theory by Victor G. Kac).

There are many applications of "pairwise", for instance different, disjunct, orthogonal, independent, intersecting, connected, and many more. Some of them like "pairwise intersecting" or "pairwise connected" seem meaningful. But most of them appear to express no more information than with "pairwise" deleted. Who introduced this expression in mathematics in what framework?
However "distinct" may have the weaker meaning of not all coinciding. So, in case I would therefore use pairwise, for clarity (see e.g. here), like in the other situations you listed.
The fact is that, in lack of a standard agreement on a definition or a notation, people is led to use more specific forms than needed. For instance: some people use $\subset$ for inculsion, some for strict inclusion. Result: some use $\subseteq $ and $\subsetneq $, to avoid any doubt. (Or, I once heard somebody -maybe myself, using the expression, for a topology not stronger than another, weakly weaker ).
When something is defined as a binary relation, "pairwise" is strictly-speaking required in order to apply it to a set larger than two. That's one advantage. Another is that in normal English "different" is the opposite of "equal".
That said, I think "pairwise different", and many similar things, are unnecessarily pedantic. If the meaning of "different" is so clear that most mathematicians wouldn't even pause to think about it, we don't need "pairwise".
The earliest appearance I found this 1941 paper of von Neumann, but I bet someone will find it in German much earlier. MathSciNet has 168 uses starting in 1949.
After some pondering about my question (and after finding out that this expression turns up in one of my books) I would like to revise my position a bit: "Pairwise orthogonal" seems redundant, but that may depend on the implicit understanding of quantifiers that have to be added to colloquial speech. "A set of orthogonal vectors" could in principle mean that for every vector there is an orthogonal one. Of course this is not the meaning attached to the word in general in mathematics. But can it be excluded a priori?
Nevertheless my question remains open (until it will be closed): Who invented the word "pairwise" or "paarweise"? I do not believe that Hilbert 1903 was the first, but do not know either and am curious to know it.

Making Sense of the WVU Grid Situation
I've had some time to digest the recent change-in-leadership of the West Virginia University football program.
And here are seven factors I feel figure into the decision by first-year WVU Athletics Director OLIVER LUCK to replace the Ohio Valley native with incoming offensive coordinator DANA HOLGORSEN.
(1) Stewart's loyalty to his assistant coaches, particularly offensive coordinator JEFF MULLEN, was a major factor. With the offensive production not keeping up with the stout defensive play, the head coach probably should have changed the staff makeup before this season.
(2) A weak Big East Conference this season should have been the time for WVU to make a major national position move. Instead, after the Mountaineers gave host LSU all it could handle, the team struggled in Big East losses to Syracuse and Connecticut. That's when Luck made his move to change the leadership. By the way, the "weak" Big East Conference so far has three bowl winners in Syracuse, Louisville and South Florida. Only a distracted, less-than-focused WVU team bowed in the postseason with the new AD prowling the sidelines ala the Dallas Cowboys' JERRY JONES. Also, one of WVU's season victims, 9-4 record Maryland, which also fired its coach, won its bowl outing.
(3) Luck said he wasn't influenced by major contributors to WVU in his decision to make the coaching change. But new WVU President JAMES CLEMENTS was a major part of the decision and it would be hard not to believe he wasn't influenced by some of the "big money" people involved with WVU. I know when Stewart was hired after saving the program from an embarrassing 2008 Fiesta Bowl loss to a highly-favored Oklahoma team following the exit of the former coach, there were some disgruntled "money guys". As I noted at the time, the only way to go for Stewart after that "high" was down. Nothing was going to be good enough for some people.
(4) The presence of current Mountaineers basketball coaches BOB HUGGINS for the men's team coming off a Final Four season, and MIKE CAREY with an unbeaten women's team currently ranked in the Top 10 in the land. Of course, it's what have you done for us lately. Stewart has a 70 percent winning percentage at WVU compared to 62 percent for Carey and 72 percent for Huggins.
(5) The season ticket factor. Luck noted, in his reasoning for the coaching change, that WVU home game season tickets have lessened since Stewart took charge. That's true since the most season tickets in history were sold in Stewart's first season, 2008, following the major bowl win over Oklahoma. Since then, WVU felt it opportune to raise its financial donation amounts to qualify for season tickets which has soured many long-time WVU supporters, who have opted to buy single game tickets during poor economic times. Now, the season ticket totals are back down from the record year to when the previous coach was in charge.
(6) The "Ghost of Rich-Rod." It's hard to us to understand why the previous coach, RICH RODRIGUEZ, and the newly-named coach are given transitional time to succeed but Stewart, with three straight 9-win seasons, wasn't afforded the same courtesy. Rodriguez won nine games only once in his first four seasons and was embarrassed in three straight bowl losses by scores of 41-7, 48-22 and 30-18. Then, quarterback PAT WHITE came along for three seasons and Rich-Rod became a super coach or maybe an ex-coach in a few days. Now, Luck cautions Mountaineers fans shouldn't expect miracles right away. "There will be some growing pains," the new AD notes.
(7) The coach-in-waiting for the 2011 season in which Stewart will finish his head coaching tenure as his replacement, Holgorsen, runs the offense. Luck says he is following the same model used in recent years by Wisconsin and Oregon. However, there's a major difference: the Wisconsin and Oregon coaches voluntarily relinquished their positions to become athletics directors. The WVU situation was handled poorly.
- ???
Have a happy and prosperous 2011.

Our Repair and Strengthen has been formulated to repair damage done to the digestive tract and help build lean muscle. This formula was created for the many clients we have worked with that have a long history of NSAIDs or corticosteroid use. These drugs damage the lining of the digestive tract leading to complications from Leaky Gut Syndrome and in severe cases lead to ulceration of the gastric mucosa and anemia. Thousands of people and animals die each year due to complications from the use of these drugs and resulting internal hemorrhage. This product is also wonderful for debilitated animals that need extra nutrition to help strengthen their immune system and/or build lean muscle mass.
This product is a one of a kind, formulated by Master Herbalist Philip Reich. It contains colostrum for its anti-inflammatory proline-rich polypeptides and tissue repairing growth factors, special cold-processed whey protein for its immune boosting properties and glutamine content (an important nutrient for repairing the cells that line the GI tract) and freeze-dried organic aloe vera for its wound healing qualities.
We have developed this formula to help dogs and cats suffering from leaky gut syndrome, muscle wasting, digestive tract issues and other degenerative conditions. Often, as a result of frequent antibiotic or NSAID usage, or due to an overall poor diet, an animal's digestive tract lining can become damaged and porous leading to nutrients seeping through into the blood stream. This is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome and is responsible for many inflammatory conditions seen throughout the body and digestive tract. The components in this all natural formula have been shown in research to provide nutrients to heal the digestive tract and contribute to healthy levels of lean muscle mass.
Available in a 90 gram container
✓ Real 6 Hour Colostrum
It is important that a product uses real colostrum, not a standardized product or transitional milk marketed as colostrum. Colostrum has unique healing attributes that are present in a 100% natural, low-heat dried, quality product like ours. Colostrum has proline-rich polypeptides similar to those found in hydrolized white fish products like Seacure®. Our concern with these products is the mercury and other contaminants found in these fish. Our colostrum has tested organic being free of herbicides, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and steroids.
✓ Cold Processed Whey Protein
Whey protein is a rich source of glutamine, an amino acid that plays a large role in healing damage done to the digestive tract. Whey protein isolate also plays an important role in strengthening the immune system and building lean muscle mass. Unfortunately, most of the whey protein on the market comes from factory farmed cows, is heat processed and contains artificial sweeteners and other additives. Our whey protein isolate is cold processed from raw milk and comes from grass-fed cows that are not given any hormones. It is undenatured delivering the crucial amino acids for cellular repair, growth, and glutathione production. It is a top-of-the-line product!
✓ Freeze-Dried Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contains polysaccharides with powerful wound healing abilities. Because of these polysaccharides, most aloe vera products have to contain a preservative, usually sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate - ours does not because it is freeze-dreid! Dogs and cats do not need any added chemicals in their diets, especially those animals that are struggling. Cats especially have a problem with these preservatives and will usually vomit if ingested. The best way to get a shelf stable product is through freeze-drying. This process safely and naturally preserves the plants nutrients virtually 100% intact. Our aloe vera is organically grown and processed in the USA. It is aloin-free so your animals will not have any laxative effects associated with whole leaf aloe vera.
Whey Protein Isolate, Colostrum, Organic Aloe (Aloe barbadensis)
Inactive Ingredients - None
About the All Natural Ingredients in this Formula
Whey Protein Isolate - The highest quality, cold-processed, 100% pure whey protein isolate from grass fed cows provides the crucial amino acids for cellular repair, growth, and glutathione production. A concentrated source of glutamine, which research has shown helps repair GI Tract damage and inflammation. Whey protein isolate is very low in lactose and fat (unlike whey protein concentrate).
Colostrum - The highest quality colostrum you can buy. True 6-hour colostrum from grass fed cows free of herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics and hormones. Provides anti-inflammatory proline-rich polypeptides, immunoglobulins and growth factors that contribute to healing the cells that line the digestive tract.
Aloe Vera - Our organic, freeze-dried, preservative-free aloe helps soothe and heal irritations and injury to the digestive tract. Aloin/Anthraquinone Free!
Provide 1/2 tsp per 20 lbs twice daily. Optimally, it is best to provide this remedy 5 or 10 minutes before meals but it can be added directly to food also. First thing in the morning before breakfast and in the evening before dinner. Mix with a small amount of warm water (enough to turn into a liquid paste) prior to serving. Your dog or cat may eat this all on his/her own which is best, or you may have to mix it with a little yogurt, cottage cheese or favorite food.
For More Intensive Usage
May slowly work up to twice the suggested maintenance dosage above over a few days as your animal adjusts.
For long term use take one or two days off per week.
Caution: Consult with a holistic practitioner if your animal's condition worsens. Use only as directed on label. Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture. For use in dogs and cats.
Follow the links below to view Natural Pet Health Protocols in which this product is included. We have created these protocols using our years of experience working with dogs and cats. Protocols are a group of supplements that work together to help support weak organs and glands and improve overall health. They can be very powerful at solving many pet health complaints and often result in true healing. We feel they are a much better alternative to medications that basically just suppress symptoms and often have many serious side-effects. There may be a time and place for prescription drugs, however we feel that time is after a safer and more natural approach has been tried.
Because we know it is important to you, most orders are shipped fast within 24 hrs on business days by Priority Mail!

Hello ! I have an approximately 16 year old Hydro Spa, Model "The Stamina". It's been relatively problem free (only had to replace a motor a few years ago). One night last week, I noticed the pump is running constantly. Went out and the control display was reading 100 degrees and none of the control buttons would operate. The pump was running constantly on low speed. I went inside and tripped the breaker for the hot tub, waited a few minutes and turned it back on. After that, the control display is dead (nothing lights up). Looked in the panel and the connector going to the motor was brown and burnt at the white wire. I repalced that connector thinking that may have fried one of the fuses. All fuses tested good with an ohmmeter, switch is good and I can hear a relay click on when the switch is turned on, but nothing else works. Nothing on the display as if it has no power.
I then tested for a full 220v between the red-black (ok) and 120v between white-black and white-red(ok). There is a red LED on the board that lights up when the switch is turned on.
Flipping the board over, one of the relays appeared to have a burned connection (looked as if someone had de-soldered that connection). I re-soldered that. Still no dice. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to I test the board or control panel to see what has gone bad ? The controls and board are a Hydroquip CS6100 unit.
Thanks !

Can you please help me to prove that if a space has a countable base, then it has countable dense subset?
I know this happens in the real line, i.e.: it has a countable base as $\{(a,b):a,b \in\Bbb Q\}$ and $\Bbb Q$ is dense in $\Bbb R$.
But how can I generalize this result as mentioned in the problem?

I'm not sure if "hot" as "warm" or "heated" existed before "hot" came to mean "good-looking" or "attractive", but if so, how did this new meaning come to be?

According to OED 1, hot in the primary sense is 'common teutonic'. In the general sense of 'having or showing intensity of feeling; fervent, ardent, passionate, enthusiastic, eager, keen, zealous' OED's earliest citation is dated to 971, and Chaucer uses hot of sexuality before 1385:
It's obvious that what gets you hot may be regarded as hot itself; and in this transferred sense we again find Chaucer writing of hot spices. It's at least arguable that it's in the sense of 'exciting lust' that the Prose Merlin (ca. 1450) has:
The exact meaning here is debatable; I suspect it means 'passionate' or 'lustful' rather than 'sexually attractive';
EDIT I'm going to withdraw that last as superfluous, since for a woman to be 'hot' in the sense of 'lustful' or 'willing to copulate' is in itself an attraction, and has been for centuries:
From etymonline for hot, "The association of hot with sexuality dates back to c.1500." Also, "Sense of "exciting, remarkable, very good" is 1895 ... Hot stuff for anything good or excellent is by 1889." The etymonline entry isn't clear about the dates of "warm" or "heated" meanings, but those apparently predate the other. OED 1 cites for the word in various senses of heated materials, or in forms like "hottest", date from 1000 AD, 1200, 1250, 1300 etc; but the vowel frequently was a rather than o into the 1500's.
Also see the etymonline entry for red-hot, which notes "Red-hot mama is 1926, jazz slang, "earthy female singer," also "girlfriend, lover.""
The term "hot" has been so-long intertwined with sexuality that it practically predates writing. Despite the fine scholarship that has responded so far, I think we must look to the roots of the connection between "hot" and sexuality:

nDreams release E3 trailer snippet for upcoming Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift gameWritten by: / / No Comments
UK based developer nDreams has garnered a reputation as an innovative studio who's always keen to embrace new platforms and technologies as evidenced by its extensive contributions to PlayStation Home and its diverse range of Facebook games.
The developer recently released a snippet from a trailer for an upcoming Project Morpheus/Oculus Rift game that'll be shown in full during E3 next month. nDreams says that it will also be "demonstrating" the game during the expo so whether this means that a playable build will be available for fans to try out is debatable.
Here's the teaser trailer along with the Spacewrecks tech demo which was uploaded last August. It seems likely that the two projects are connected since the description for the latter video mentions that the build supports Oculus Rift.
Are you looking forward to seeing more of what nDreams is cooking up for Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift? Let us know in the comments.

Answered: Sencha Touch 2.2.0: What's the best way to render data in a grid/table like view?
I'm going through the steep learning curve ... one thing I struggle with: what's the best way to render data in a grid or table like manner. I understand there's no grid/table available as per docs. The grid on gitHub apperas not be ready for Sencha 2.2. http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?262268
Any pointers on how to tackle the challenge?
Thanks in advance
There is currently no official grid in the Sencha Touch SDK (to my big surprise...).
Mitchel made one some time ago, but I'm not sure if it still works with ST2.2. You can find it here:
A few weeks ago bryntum published their UberGrid which looks to be terrific (but not for free). More here http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...r-Sencha-Touch

Even i tried searching the things , Grid with Horizontal scroll
Even i tried searching the things, but did not get any useful information on this is highly appreciated.
I went through all the examples of the Sencha touch , but was not able to see any working examples of the Grid , as it is available in the ExtJs .
The requirement is to view the data in the Grid , so that if there are many columns the page , it can be horizontally scrolled.
Any inputs on this are highly appreciated

I can recommend Ubergrid. Very powerful and very easy to use.I`m from Holland!
3 May 2013 3:34 AM #6
I checked out ubergrid , but it is not opensource , i wonder if Sencha has an plan of including such components in the future releases , or a forum where we can offer our suggestions for future release , this is very important for a framework to become useable and stable ....

Mitchel Example on Grid , Horizontal scroll not working
Hello Experts ,
I have downloaded and deployed the example provided by Mitchel on my local server , but to my surprise the example provided is not working with horizontal scroll , the other features are working ok .
If this horizontal scroll problem is rectified , it will be big help for the people stuck with absence of this feature from Sencha Touch 2.2 (lot of people are already requested this feature , i found while googling ).
6 May 2013 7:21 PM #8
Grid with Horizontal Scroll
I've been meaning to provide example of Horiz scrolling for TouchTreeGrid which supports basic grids (in addition to Tree Grids and Accordions) and supports Touch 2.2 already and is Open Source. Can be downloaded from here: https://market.sencha.com/extensions/touchtreegrid. Check out the DOW History example. Horiz scrolling would be achieved by specifying Columns array widths in pixels instead of percents and setting Horizontal Scrolling true on parent container.
I'll try to get an example out there in next week or so, but in my opinion it is a better user experience to only show significant columns that fit on a phone device and use onItemDisclosure=true to navigate to a detail panel for the remaining columns. Depends on the application of course. You can also use buttons on a toolbar (for example) to toggle sets of columns for display (another example I will get to). Refer to Census example for phone example via this link: http://www.lincolnwaterfrontrentals....viceType=Phone. You can resize your Browser to simulate phone portrait vs. phone landscape and #displayed columns auto-updates based on display width. More columns are displayed for Tablets for the same Census example ... and also change between Portrait and Landscape orientations)
Prefer any feedback be left on original thread as it is my goal to make this component as useful as possible until Sencha finally supports these features:
Regards, Steve

My utility company charges me more for electricity in the summer. Is there any way I could "save up" non-summer electricity (eg, a giant battery?) and then use it during the summer, saving myself money?
Other power companies charge more for electricity during "peak hours" daily, so even saving electricity for 16 hours or so could be useful.
I realize that it's probably not possible to build such a device/system in practice right now, but is this at least theoretically possible?
How much more would peak/summer electricity have to cost to make this useful?

6 Civil War Myths Everyone Believes (That Are Total B.S.)
#3. It was the Bloodiest War In American History
Here's a fun experiment: Google the phrase "bloodiest American war." We did, and the phrase "Civil War" popped up on the page no less than 16 times. That's three time more than "Revolutionary War," "World War I" and "World War II" ... combined.
And about 2000 more times than the Whiskey Rebellion, although the details get a bit fuzzy about that.
Why it's Bullshit:
More Americans actually died in the battles of World War II than during the Civil War. Now, this is not to suggest that the Civil War was not bloody; it was. But "only" 207,000 American lives were lost on the battlefield (as opposed to the nearly 300,000 who died in combat during WWII) while 414,000 of the Civil War casualties died simply because the mid-19th century was a terrible time for five million men to go camping for six months.
Had they been counted, fashion victims would have made up 40 percent of confederate losses.
Medicine in the 19th century was so medieval it might as well have walked around in a tunic and leggings while strumming a lute. Add in all of the soldiers who died of disease or infections during the war and you get a horrific 625,000 lives lost. So for every one soldier who died in battle, two more died of sickness.
You have to remember that back then, learning to be a doctor was like learning to be a plumber -- most American physicians learned their trade by attending a couple of lectures and then apprenticing with an older doctor. And at a time when even the best doctors in the world had a shaky understanding of the spread of disease, it was no wonder that barely trained field medics struggled with everything from cholera to smallpox to the runs.
"All right men, for maximum realism, I'll battle on heroically while you shit yourself and die."
Speaking of the runs, dysentery and diarrhea alone affected 78 percent of the troops annually. Germ theory, sanitized instruments, the whole concept of not drinking toilet water were all innovations that would come along too late to help the victims of the Civil War.
"In honor of my forefathers, I will lick this delicious food off the floor. For freedom."
#2. If the South Had Done ___________, They Would Have Won
Not to be confused with the popular myth regarding Hank Williams, Jr.'s life prospects had the South actually won ...
Via colorlines
... this myth goes something like this: With generals like Robert E. Lee, Southern pride and all those fields of cotton on their side, the Confederates should have won the war, had it not been for a few minor blunders.
Why it's Bullshit:
The South never, ever had a chance of winning the Civil War. Never.
It all came down to a numbers game, starting with population. The North had a population of 22 million against the South's 9.1 million which included the slaves.
The North rejected repeated offers to "settle this like men via cotton pick off."
The Union possessed a navy the South couldn't touch, industry and armaments the South couldn't match, currency backed up in California gold, and women not encumbered by hoop skirts so wide you could hide 30 children under them.
Via Wikipedia
"Oh darn it, I've lost Kevin again."
Now, this is not meant to suggest that there weren't some close calls for the Union throughout the war -- there were. But the U.S. government had already been through several wars the past fourscore years while the Confederate government was never able to get their shit together. While the Union had transformed Washington, D.C., into the most fortified city on the planet, the Rebels were still fighting over what flag to use.
"Well, the red says 'we're fighting for our freedom,' but the stars say 'we're doing it flamboyantly.' Tough choice."
When the threat of foreign intervention cropped up, Lincoln threw ambassadors like John Quincy Adams' son at the Europeans while the Confederates had nothing to offer but peach cobbler and the overuse of "y'all." In short, the South never stood a chance against the Union politically, militarily or diplomatically.
But what about the brilliant strategy? Didn't they have Robert E Lee and all those guys? Well ...
#1. The American Civil War Was Defined by Brilliant Generals and Strategy
How many Dodge Chargers have you seen running around sporting Union flags and blasting The Battle Hymn of the Republic? And of those zero, how many were christened The General George McClellan? You know a commander had to be spectacular to get his name slapped on the getaway car of moonshine running Southern outlaws.
Via Wikipedia
Why it's Bullshit:
General Lee aside, both the North and the South had their share of dumbass generals, and the case has been made that the Confederates had the larger share, which is not too surprising when you consider that they lost.
The biggest problem was that the military elites from both the North and South were educated in old school battle techniques, but were firing off state of the art weaponry. Which meant they were still lining up and squaring off against each other in battle, but instead of shooting Revolutionary War muskets, they were shooting longer ranged rifles and the very first machine guns. Which made as much sense as taking grenades to a water gun fight -- one where no one shows up with water balloons. And why early Civil War battles like Shiloh killed more soldiers than every war in American history up to that point put together ... in just two days.
"I can't help thinking we're not using these guns very efficiently."
But better guns coupled with opposing soldiers so close they could foxtrot together wasn't the only problem for the generals. Both the North and South executed some bafflingly stupid strategies that cost the lives of thousands of men. Like when Robert E. Lee ordered Major General George Pickett to lead over 12,000 soldiers across an open field and into the
loving arms firing rifles of Union soldiers, getting half of his men killed on the spot. Or when Union commander George B. McClellan became one of the few commanders in U.S. history to desert his troops not once or twice, but three times on the battlefield.

Why (& how) do Static and Dynamic testing complement each other?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Take this requirement example for a calculator program -
Calculator should accurately do division of two numbers.
After static analysis (testing) you might say - requirements are incomplete as it does not clearly states that up to what decimal points calculation is to be done. How round off is to take place. What should happen in case of division by 0 scenarios etc etc
But only after dynamic testing you could say, if program actually -
Computes division till expected decimal points If round off operations works right If appropriate prompt is really displayed for division by zero scenarios.
Did you see how static and dynamic testing complemented each other in this scenario?
By and large I see both static and dynamic testing to work towards early defect detection in software life cycle.
Static testing is reviewing the program code without executing it. Its focus is mostly on the following:
While static testing only is insufficient, it is a great technique to prevent bugs early in development cycle.
Static testing from the developers viewpoint is testing that is done on code without running the application or the code itself. Common ways to perform static testing on code is to run code analysis tools (Wikipedia list of commercial products) or security analysis tools.
In the wider testing context, static testing is any form of testing where the application is not used, and this takes the common form of requirements review.
The key benefit that static testing provides over dynamic testing is that the bugs that it uncovers are commonly much cheaper to fix, and it can be performed early in the SDLC before the application can actually be run.
Once the application has progressed far enough in the development cycle, static testing normally takes precedence.
I would also expect that projects where the testers are only engaged late, after development is well underway, static testing will probably not even be considered.
Dynamic testing is usually related to tools testing some common dynamic aspects of the software, for example- detect memory leaks, thread deadlocks, monitor resources usage etc. Basically those tools get a build tree (source files, makefiles) and work on them independently- no one needs to define the tests themselves.
Static and dynamic testing complement each other since they both test objective, common aspects of software irrelevant of your implementation, but each uses a different approach.
There is also another description of Dynamic testing, Dynamic Flow Analysis. This is a hybrid of static analysis (looking for patterns) and run time analysis (what happens when I actually run this thing).
To give a couple of examples: 1/ You capture an exception and do some error handling. You allow a variable to remain set to null, and continue processing. This in itself is not an error, and would not be picked up by static analysis. Dynamic flow analysis looks at what would happen after the exception is processed, and see if this null variable is used, and whether it would then cause a null pointer exception - definitely a bug.
2/ Divide x by y, and get a result. Not a problem, unless y is zero. As this relates to the test data, static analysis would not pick up on it. A good Dynamic flow analysis engine would.
For more details please see the Parasoft 'Test' suite, this includes both static and dynamic flow analysis engines: http://www.parasoft.com/jsp/products.jsp
Static analysis can be effectively used for 'Finding Bugs'. Good static analysis tools are inter-procedural, flow-sensitive, and context-sensitive. They yield results with a low level of false positives. While static analysis is able to find errors in code, dynamic testing processing can help identify ways in which software does not do what it is meant to do. Static analysis and dynamic testing utilize entirely different techniques therefore they should be regarded as 'Complementing' methods that help make software better.
Several of the answers here imply that static testing is reviewing of the code base. Many sites would completely agree with this point of view. However, this term actually has a more general meaning. Static testing goes beyond just the code base. Reviewing all parts of the test basis, specifications, oracles, etc is static testing. Reviews should be completed on:
Reviewing any piece of documentation that gives an expectation of how the software is expected to behave is considered static testing. This is a great way to vet out issues inexpensively. All stakeholders can come together and iron out grey areas and conditions that were not previously thought about or conflict.
Dynamic testing is executing the code to determine if it functions properly. Although Static Testing is a great tool, you can only go so far with document/code review. To ensure the requirements are met and the software is performing as expected executing the software [Dynamic Testing] is required.

div resize event
does anybody know, how to fire a resize event on a html div?
i tried:
Ext.get("IdOfMyDiv").on("resize", function(){...})
... but it's not working...
The reason, why i need this is because my homepage is based on standard html with ExtJs support for several things. In this case the content of a div is changing dynamically when resizing the browserwindow, or when pressing a button, or when hiding some information, ....)
I know the event for browser-resizing but not the event for a div-container resizing....
thank you for your help and best regards!!

Individual elements don't fire resize events, only the window does.
Ext.EventManager.on(window, 'resize', function(){ //... });

Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
The trail winds through a Douglas-fir forest mixed with vine maple, salal, and sword fern. The main trail turns left and follows a bluff above North Fork Wolf Creek. The trail leads to a power line access road. Follow the road 125 feet, and look for the trail to dive back into the forest at the top of the hill. To finish out the day, continue down the road to the Sunset Rest Area and hike the Steam Donkey interpretive trail.
Directions: Directions: This trailhead is located off of Highway 26 approximately 39 miles west of Portland in the Tillamook State Forest. Look for a brown trailhead sign on the north side of the highway. Parking is available along the wide, paved shoulder area. To find the trailhead walk east and turn north onto an old road, which turns into a trail leading down to the forest.

I thought the Hamiltonian was always equal to the total energy of a system but have read that this isn't always true. Is there an example of this and does the Hamiltonian have a physical interpretation in such a case?
In an ideal, holonomic and monogenic system (the usual one in classical mechanics), Hamiltonian equals total energy when and only when both the constraint and Lagrangian are time-independent and generalized potential is absent.
So the condition for Hamiltonian equaling energy is quite stringent. Dan's example is one in which Lagrangian depends on time. A more frequent example would be the Hamiltonian for charged particles in electromagnetic field $$H=\frac{\left(\vec{P}-q\vec{A}\right)^2}{2m}+q\varphi$$ The first part equals kinetic energy($\vec{P}$ is canonical, not mechanical momentum), but the second part IS NOT necessarily potential energy, as in general $\varphi$ can be changed arbitrarily with a gauge.
The Hamiltonian is in general not equal to the energy when the coordinates explicitly depend on time. For example, we can take the system of a bead of mass $m$ confined to a circular ring of radius $R$. If we define the $0$ for the angle $\theta$ to be the bottom of the ring, the Lagrangian $$L=\frac{mR^2\dot{\theta}^2}{2}-mgR(1-\cos{(\theta)}).$$ The conjugate momentum $$p_{\theta}=\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}}=mR^2\dot{\theta}.$$ And the Hamiltonian $$H=\frac{p_{\theta}}{2mR^2}+mgR(1-\cos{\theta}), $$ which is equal to the energy.
However, if we define the $0$ for theta to be moving around the ring with an angular speed $\omega$, then the Lagrangian $$L=\frac{mR^2(\dot{\theta}-\omega)^2}{2}-mgR(1-\cos{(\theta-\omega t)}). $$
The conjugate momentum $$p_{\theta}=\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}}=mR^2\dot{\theta}-mR^2 \omega.$$
And the Hamiltonian $$H=\frac{p_{\theta}}{2mR^2}+p_{\theta}\omega+mgR(1-\cos(\theta-\omega t)), $$ which is not equal to the energy (in terms of $\dot{\theta}$ it has an explicit dependence on $\omega$).
Goldstein's Classical Mechanics (2nd Ed.) pg. 349, section 8.2 on cyclic coordinates and conservation theorems' has a good discussion on this. In his words:
He then goes on to provide an example of a 1-d system in which he chooses two different generalized coordinate systems. For the first choice, H is the total energy while for the second choice H ends up being just a conserved quantity and NOT the total energy of the system.
Check it out. It's a very nice example.
Page 60-64 Goldstein, Poole and Safko (3rd Edition) goes into a really nice derivation and description of the Energy Function. In the footnotes it states that this is equivalent to the Hamiltonian (it is just not in the correct generalized coordinates for the Hamiltonian). If this function is derived from scleronomous (equations of constraints are time independent) and there is no $\dot{q}$ dependence in the potential energy, then you can show that h=T+V. These conditions make sure that T is 2nd degree homogeneous according to Euler's Theorem, and this is the condition that allows transformation to T+V.
This is all shown very nicely in Goldstein.

I am an undergraduate CS major with strong interests in applied math and theoretical computer science. In the past, I've done reasonably well grade-wise in all math-related (that is, pure math, applied or theoretical CS) classes, but I feel that I still haven't taken away as much as i could have from most.
As people who have often taught math courses and had to deal with the inevitable fact that no lecture will be universally effective, what are your suggestions for how I (as a student) can best learn in these classes.
A few problems I've experienced regularly:
When professors try to present long and difficult proofs on the blackboard. I always find it ridiculously hard to understand proofs in real time or to understand verbal and visual explication of the proof simultaneously. I have to look the proof up in a textbook, and the comprehensibility of textbook proofs varies widely.
More generally, accessing the "kernel" of the proof that really makes it comprehensible is sometimes difficult, especially when it's presented more formally. I tend to think of proofs in terms of algorithms, and proofs that don't fit this well tend often evade me.
Definitions, even, (especially in pure math) tend to blend together and become obscure. I've re-learned the basic definitions of probability waaaay too many times.
