What a lovely coincidence! Pi day (the 14th of March, written 3.14 in the US) is also Albert Einstein's birthday. How are you going to celebrate? You could join Marcus du Sautoy and over a thousand other people in a mass online experiment to calculate pi or you could join Plus in Cambridge to watch our favourite mathematical movie Travelling Salesman. And to celebrate both the number and the man, here are some favourite articles.

We've been dabbling a lot in the mysterious world of quantum physics lately, so to get back down to Earth we thought we'd bring you reminder of good old classical physics.
The London Velodrome's track is designed for maximum speed using Newton's laws of motion.
Newton's first law: An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external and unbalanced force. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external and unbalanced force.
This is also called the law of inertia and it doesn't need much explanation. No stationary object will start moving of its own accord without a force being applied. And the reason why in our everyday experience moving objects tend to slow down unless they are being powered by something is due to factors such as friction and air resistance.
Newton's second law: The acceleration a of a body is parallel and proportional to the net force F acting on it. The exact relationship is F=ma, where m is the body's mass.
In this equation both F and a are vectors with a direction and a magnitude.
Newton's third law: When two bodies exert a force on each other the forces are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Thus, if you kick a ball with your foot, then the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on your foot.
The three laws of motion were first published in 1687 in Newton's famous work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica which translates as Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. Newton's law of universal gravitation and mathematical techniques we'd now call calculus were also published in Principia Mathematica and together with the laws of motion they gave the first comprehensive description of the physical processes we observe in everyday life. It later turned out that the laws don't hold when you look at the world at very small scales (that's where quantum mechanics reigns) or at objects that move at very high speed or when there are very strong gravitational fields. However, Newton's laws still give a very good approximation for the physics we observe in our normal lives.To read more about Newton's laws and its applications, from understanding the melting Arctic to building the Olympic Velodrome, have a look at our teacher package on classical mechanics.

Solving equations often involves taking square roots of numbers and if you're not careful you might accidentally take a square root of something that's negative. That isn't allowed of course, but if you hold your breath and just carry on, then you might eventually square the illegal entity again and end up with a negative number that's a perfectly valid solution to your equation.
People first noticed this fact in the 15th century. A lot later on, in the 19th century, William Rowan Hamilton noticed that the illegal numbers you come across in this way can always be written as where and are ordinary numbers and stands for the square root of The number itself can be represented in this way with and Numbers of this form are called complex numbers.
You can add two complex numbers like this:
And you multiply them like this:
The complex number 1+2i.
But how can we visualise these numbers and their addition and multiplication? The and components are normal numbers so we can associate to them the point with coordinates on the plane, which is where you get to if you walk a distance in the horizontal direction and a distance in the vertical direction. So the complex number which is the sum of and corresponds to the point you get to by walking a distance in the horizontal direction and a distance in the vertical direction. Makes sense.
What about multiplication? Think of the numbers that lie on your horizontal axis with coordinates Multiplying them by flips them over to the other side of the point : goes to goes to and so on. In fact, you can think of multiplication by as a rotation: you rotate the whole plane through 180 degrees about the point
Multiplying by i.
What about multiplication by the square root of ? Multiplying twice by is the same as multiplying by So if the latter corresponds to a rotation through 180 degrees, the former should correspond to rotation by 90 degrees. And this works. Try multiplying any complex number, say by and you will see that the result corresponds to the point you get to by rotating through 90 degrees (counter-clockwise) about
And what about multiplying not just by but by a more difficult complex number Well, multiplying by an ordinary positive number corresponds to stretching or shrinking the plane: multiplication by 2 takes a point to which is further away from (that's stretching) and multiplication by 1/2 takes it to which is closer to (shrinking).
Multiplying by 2 is stretching.
It turns out that multiplication by a complex number corresponds to a combination of rotation and shrinking/stretching. For example, multiplication by is rotation through 120 degrees followed by stretching by a factor of 2. So complex numbers are not just weird figments of the imagination designed to help you solve equations, they've got a geometric existence in their own right.

Science advisors to government are an embattled lot. Remember the l'Aquila earthquake debacle or David Nutt's stance on drugs that cost him his job. Bridging the gap between politics and science isn't easy. Politicians like clear messages but science, and the reality it tries to describe, is rarely clear-cut.
Full marks for Obama.
So how do you advise a politician about science, its uncertainties and about risk? What better person to ask than John P. Holdren, Assistant to President Obama for Science and Technology. As he told a packed auditorium at the annual AAAS meeting in Boston, Holdren is actually quite happy with his own boss. Obama, he says, always wants to know the level of confidence scientists have in a specific result. And Holdren's first memo for Obama, which stuck to the traditional two pages, came back with "where's the rest?" scrawled over it. That's reassuring! Anne Glover, Chief Scientific Advisor to the European Commission, on the other hand, has come across leading European politicians who prefer to do without science advisors altogether, since "scientists never agree".
Glover says that it's important to emphasise consent rather than disagreement. Scientists may be unsure or disagree about the details of something, say the exact relationship between CO2 emissions and global climate, but they may be certain about the big picture — that climate change is happening. Holdren points out that it's important to know where uncertainties are coming from — can they be sorted out with a bit more time and effort, or are they down to deeper gaps in or understanding or to processes we just can't pin down with better accuracy. Advisors should make sure uncertainties aren't exaggerated or understated, or simply ignored because they are too difficult to deal with.
Both Glover and Holdren agree that it's important to speak plainly to politicians. Advisors should use examples and visualisations of uncertainties (see this Plus article for some ideas) and when there's a range of possible outcomes of something, say an epidemic, use scenarios to examine the possibilities. Holdren advises to look for a policy that remains robust in the face of all of them. It's important to be prudent, since new evidence may always come along. But when there is a large, coherent and consistent body of evidence, as there is with climate change, it's safe to talk in terms of certainty.

Sequences of numbers can have limits. For example, the sequence 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... has the limit 0 and the sequence 0, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, ... has the limit 1.
But not all number sequences behave so nicely. For example, the sequence 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 4/5, ... keeps jumping up and down, rather than getting closer and closer to one particular number. We can, however, discern some sort of limiting behaviour as we move along the sequence: the numbers never become larger than 1 or smaller than 0. And what's more, moving far enough along the sequence, you can find numbers that get as close as you like to both 1 and 0. So both 0 and 1 have some right to be considered limits of the sequence — and indeed they are: 1 is the limit superior and 0 is the limit inferior, so-called for obvious reasons.
But can you define these limits superior and inferior for a general sequence , for example the one shown in the picture? Here's how to do it for the limit superior. First look at the whole sequence and find its least upper bound: that's the smallest number that's bigger than all the numbers in the sequence. Then chop off the first number in the sequence, and again find the least upper bound for the new sequence. This might be smaller than the previous least upper bound (if that was equal to ), but not bigger. Then chop off the first two numbers and again find the least upper bound.
Keep going, chopping off the first three, four, five, etc numbers, to get a sequence of least upper bounds (indicated by the red curve in the picture). In this sequence every number is either equal to or smaller than the number before. The limit superior is defined to be the limit of these least upper bounds. It always exists: since the sequence of least upper bounds is either constant or decreasing, it will either approach minus infinity or some other finite limit. The limit superior could also be equal to plus infinity, if there are numbers in the sequence that get arbitrarily large.
The limit inferior is defined in a similar way, only that you look at the sequence of greatest lower bounds and then take the limit of that.
You can read more about the limits inferior and superior in the Plus article The Abel Prize 2012.

An infinite set is called countable if you can count it. In other words, it's called countable if you can put its members into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . For example, a bag with infinitely many apples would be a countable infinity because (given an infinite amount of time) you can label the apples 1, 2, 3, etc.
Two countably infinite sets A and B are considered to have the same "size" (or cardinality) because you can pair each element in A with one and only one element in B so that no elements in either set are left over. This idea seems to make sense, but it has some funny consequences. For example, the even numbers are a countable infinity because you can link the number 2 to the number 1, the number 4 to 2, the number 6 to 3 and so on. So if you consider the totality of even numbers (not just a finite collection) then there are just as many of them as natural numbers, even though intuitively you'd think there should only be half as many.
Something similar goes for the rational numbers (all the numbers you can write as fractions). You can list them as follows: first write down all the fractions whose denominator and numerator add up to 2, then list all the ones where the sum comes to 3, then 4, etc. This is an unfailing recipe to list all the rationals, and once they are listed you can label them by the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . So there are just as many rationals as natural numbers, which again seems a bit odd because you'd think that there should be a lot more of them.
It was Galileo who first noticed these funny results and they put him off thinking about infinity. Later on the mathematician Georg Cantor revisited the idea. In fact, Cantor came up with a whole hierarchy of infinities, one "bigger" than the other, of which the countable infinity is the smallest. His ideas were controversial at first, but have now become an accepted part of pure mathematics.
You can find out more about all this in our collection of articles on infinity.

text: IFA12-StepsForeword "It will fluctuate."— J.P. Morgan's reply when asked what the stock market will do. ForewordHarry Markowitz In this volume Mark Hebner meticulously refutes the idea that individual investors can beat the market by stock selection or market timing. Some readers may react with the thought that "perhaps most investors cannot beat the market, but some can. I merely have to emulate those with superior performance." Examples of investors with sustained superior performance include the legendary Warren Buffett and David Swensen, Yale University's Chief Investment Officer, whose performance over decades has been widely admired and imitated by endowment and retirement plan managers, but with rare success. If you examine the words and practices of these distinguished investors, you will find their above-market performance is not due to a set of rules which can be followed by individual investors. Rather, it is due to resources and opportunities which individual investors and most institutional investors do not have. Mr. Swensen tells how he does it in his book, "Pioneering Portfolio Management: An Unconventional Approach to Institutional Investment." As noted in the title, Swensen's book explains how an institutional investor (as distinguished from an individual investor) might achieve above-market returns. He observes there is little chance for beating the market with well-followed securities such as large cap and small cap stocks. As to opportunities available to the institutional investor from less conventional sources, Swensen writes: "Populated by unusually gifted, extremely driven individuals, the institutional funds management industry provides a nearly limitless supply of products, a few of which actually serve fiduciary aims. Identifying the handful of gems in the tons of quarry rock provides intellectually stimulating employment for the managers of endowment portfolios."1 Few, if any, individual investors have the time and skill to separate the "gems" from the "quarry rock," even if they were presented with similar opportunities. Any individual investor who believes he or she can achieve above-market performance is almost sure to underperform the market substantially, as Mark Hebner documents. Hardly any institutional investors are able to outperform their proper benchmarks. Among those who do accomplish this feat, their ranks largely change from year to year, making their discovery a moving target, as Mark Hebner shows in this volume. Swensen affirms the difficulty of identifying skilled fund managers. He states, "I erred in describing my target audiences. In fact, I have come to believe that the most important distinction does not separate individuals and institutions… few institutions and even fewer individuals exhibit the ability and commit the resources to produce risk-adjusted excess returns."2 Indeed, the challenge of ferreting out the gems from among the "tons of quarry rock" is more challenging than it mightfirst appear. While Warren Buffett has not written a text on the subject, his actions show his success—like Swensen's—is in part due to his being offered opportunities not available to the individual investor. Specifically, he is offered the opportunity to take large positions in established companies at favorable prices. At such times, company information is made available to Mr. Buffett and his staff which is not routinely available to the public. Ultimately, however, it is his and his staff's ability to evaluate such positions—to separate the gems from the quarry rock—that explains their long-run success. As in the case of Swensen's outperformance, few individual investors have the time and skill to evaluate such opportunities, even if they were presented to them. As to market timing, I know of no one who has consistently outperformed the market by market timing. Since there are always countless "authorities" who say to buy, and countless others who say to sell, there will always be many instances in which someone called correctly the last turn of the market, and even the last two or three turns. As Hebner documents, it is a foolish hope to try to emulate such market timers. It is better to go with J.P. Morgan's advice—that all one knows about the market is that it will fluctuate. J.P. Morgan's observation has at least three implications. The obvious one is: Don't try to time the market. You will make your broker rich, not yourself. Another implication is you should choose a portfolio you can live with despite market fluctuations. For example, the year 2008 was not an "outlier," nor was it even the worst year on record. Rather it was tied for the second worst year. It was a one-in-forty year event, not a one-in-a-thousand year event. The frightened investor who decided to get out of the market in March of 2009 locked in his or her losses for good. The chief problem with small investors is they buy when the market has gone up and believe it will rise further, and they sell when the market has fallen and believe it will fall more. One of the principal functions of the right financial advisor is to make sure the investor understands the volatility of his or her specific portfolio and is willing to stick with it for the long run. As Mark Hebner explains, a third implication of the fact that markets fluctuate is the need to rebalance. Suppose an investor is comfortable with a 60-40 mix of stocks versus bonds. If the market rises substantially, the portfolio's equity exposure will greatly exceed sixty percent. The rebalancing process sells off the excess, bringing the portfolio back to a 60-40 mix. If the market falls, then the portfolio will have less invested in stocks than the target 60 percent. The rebalancing process then buys. This process of rebalancing—which sells when the market is up and buys when the market is down—is sometimes referred to as "volatility capture" and leads to what Fernholz and Shay (1979) refer to as "excess growth."3 The rebalanced portfolio will grow faster than the average growth of its individual constituents. It may even grow faster than any one of its constituents due to the rebalancing process. Thus, if handled knowledgeably, market volatility can be the investor's friend. "Money in the bank" sounds safe, but will do little to outpace inflation. On the average, over the long run, a well-diversified portfolio that includes stocks and bonds will almost surely continue to outpace both inflation and money in the bank. However, as this book documents so well, a foolish attempt to beat the market and get rich quickly will make one's broker rich and oneself much less so. – Harry Markowitz, Ph.D.1990 Nobel Prize Recipient Harry Markowitz, Ph.D. is best known for his pioneering work in Modern Portfolio Theory, for which he was awarded the 1990 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (referred to as the Nobel Prize in this book). In 1952, he developed the simple, yet profound notion that investors must consider the risk associated with their investments, not solely the return. This groundbreaking discovery sparked a financial revolution pertaining to the relationship between risk and return. He is widely known as the father of Modern Portfolio Theory. Dr. Markowitz is also the recipient of the 1989 John von Neumann Prize in Operations Research Theory for his work in the areas of sparse matrix techniques and the SIMSCRIPT programming language, in addition to portfolio theory.

On average we log 8.5 hours each working day, with many of us amassing far more hours to secure success. We are dedicated, and we are driven to working and saving for our nest eggs—that little slice of financial security that is our reward for a job well done. Unfortunately, rarely in the course of this frenetic pace do we stop to learn how to properly invest our earnings so they can best work for us. I was one of those people. I was fortunate enough to start a successful company right after I graduated from college. I was thirty-two years old when I sold that company, and I walked away with a nice sum of money. Without giving it a second thought, I deposited that money with a big-name brokerage firm. They seemed competent to properly grow my wealth. They had offices in high-rise towers. They had well-dressed analysts and impressive looking reports. Indeed, I was confident they would effectively put my money to work for me. Twelve years later, I woke up to the ugly truth that my confidence in that brokerage firm was unfounded, and my earnings opportunities up to that point had been largely wasted. Until that time, I believed the financial success of Wall Street brokerage firms was the result of jobs well done in creating wealth for their clients. Too late, I learned that big brokerages did not get rich by enhancing their clients' wealth, but rather (and ironically) by depleting it, transferring it slowly in the form of commissions and margin interest that were in no way justified by the lackluster returns accompanying them. This steady transfer buys plenty of full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal and ample commercial time on CNBC to lure in even more clients, thus perpetuating the slow and sure transfer of wealth that comes with each buy and sell. Prior to my revelation, I lived with a nagging suspicion that my investments could do better. I knew there was a better way to invest, but I never really had the motivation to find it. I was busy with my family and my work, and I could never put a finger on what I should have had or could have had relative to what I did have. My revelation about the investment world came to me through a tragedy. A friend of mine was killed in a car crash. I told his widow I would help her in any way I could. Shortly thereafter, she said what she really needed was help with her investments. I knew she was relying on me to provide some good, solid help, and I also knew I was ill-equipped to give it. "What do I know about investing?" I asked her. "My portfolio hasn't done well." I knew I had to do some research. I knew I needed to find a better way to invest, and I needed to share it with her. I revisited the finance courses from my MBA program. I went to the library and the bookstore and bought countless books on investing, and I read them all. I dug into Burton Malkiel's Random Walk Down Wall Street and John Bogle's Common Sense on Mutual Funds, among many others. What I discovered in the pages of those books was nothing short of stunning: managers don't beat markets. At first I asked, "How could this be? We have all these managers in the world who are in business to beat the market, and yet, they're not beating the market. The market is beating them." It struck me like a bolt of lightning: I didn't just have the wrong advisors, I had the wrong strategy altogether. With all of the time, effort and money spent trying to find the next hot stock or mutual fund manager, I would have been far better off had I simply bought, held and rebalanced a portfolio of index funds. How much better off? When I compared my own actively managed portfolio's performance against the value of a risk-appropriate passively managed portfolio, I was struck with the harsh reality of the price I paid for my lack of investing knowledge. I call this my $30 million lesson. I paid a very steep price for relying on an industry that profits handsomely when investors are kept in the dark. I wondered just how many others had paid the price for too little knowledge and too much trust. I questioned how many more would suffer before the investment industry would awaken to its very own Howard Beale who would finally muster the courage to step before the CNBC cameras to declare, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore." Awestruck by the glut of misinformation that served as the basis for poor investment decisions, I could not remain silent. I knew I had found my mission in my lesson, and I was determined to change the way the world invests. Just as in the movie "Network," in which Beale used the airwaves to deliver his message, I leveraged the Internet to deliver mine. In 1999, I launched ifa.com, a free and comprehensive site that contains hundreds of charts, graphs, articles, podcasts, and videocasts to help investors learn about investments that can better enhance their own wealth, rather than the wealth of their brokers. At the same time, I launched Index Fund Advisors, Inc. (IFA), a fee-only financial advisory firm that works with individuals and institutions to invest in risk-appropriate portfolios properly benchmarked for each investor's specific situation and risk capacity. Today, nearly 40 employees and $1.8 billion strong, IFA's mission has taken hold. This book incorporates the quality research and data that IFA uses to advance the financial futures of its roughly 1,800 clients. It is precisely the information that I incorporate daily to change the way the world invests by replacing speculation with science. Step by step, this book will lead you away from the pitfalls of active investing that threaten your long-term financial success and lead you instead toward a strategy that will efficiently put your money to work for a better financial future. You work hard enough. You don't need to log any more hours or commissions to fund your broker's retirement instead of your own. Read the following pages well, as they hold the key to your ability to optimally reap the fruits of your labor. Yes, you can finally invest and relax. – Mark T.

Auburn Hills � Pistons guard Will Bynum has played in four playoff games in his six seasons in the NBA.
They were all loses to the high-powered Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James in 2009. The Pistons made it as an eighth seed with a losing record. They were no match for the Cavaliers. They lost the four games by an average of 15.5 points. During one of those games the Cavs choked the Pistons out with 68 points.
There was really no benefit in playing those games.
The same can happen this season. The Pistons could sneak into the playoffs as an eight seed and get the honor of playing high flying Indiana or Miami. Once again the Pistons would likely get swept in four more meaningless games and go home in embarrassment.
One guy that disagrees is Bynum. That is why you see him diving for loose balls and driving the lane for game-clinching hard charging layups. It is why you often see him finishing up in place of starter Brandon Jennings the last two games.
Bynum is at least one Piston player not willing to settle. He is angry after losses because he does not like the feel of it. Bynum might not be the most talented basketball player on the planet but he gets by with Chicago street smarts and toughness.
He does not mind being an underdog because underdogs win sometimes and he is hell bent on being one of those David and Goliath stories.
Won't give up
�It would mean a lot to get into the playoffs,� Bynum said. �We have enough talent in this dressing room to make some noise and do some damage. Once you are in you never know what can happen.�
Since that playoff sweep nothing has gone right with the Pistons. It was their last playoff appearance. Since then the Pistons are 134-235 (36.3 percent) and The Palace signs have turned from Six Championship Drive to Four Lottery Drive.
It appears as if Bynum won�t get his wish of making the playoffs. The Pistons fell 3� games behind Atlanta and Charlotte for the final playoff spots following Saturday�s 113-102 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at The Palace.
�All we can do is put forth our best effort,� said Bynum, who finished with 17 points and eight assists.
The Pistons showed some hustle but not enough muscle as they were out-rebounded 50-39. On most nights the product is so bad that there is a dirty little secret going around. Some sports bars have not shown Pistons games. And few people complain. I�ve witnessed it four times myself at different establishments and wanted to see if there were complaints.
I asked at one place to turn the game on and the bartender hit himself across the forehead and said �I forgot they were on. No one asks for them anymore.�
Making the playoffs might give the Pistons a spark in the community. It would be exciting to see LeBron James or Dwyane Wade come to town. The Pacers� suffocating defense might be a joy to watch also.
For Bynum, it is a chance to compete against the best. He loves the competition even though it gets the better of him and the Pistons.
The Pistons began a rough stretch Saturday with four straight Western Conference teams with winning records. They are a combined 144-79. The West is sort of the varsity of the NBA and the East is the junior varsity.
The Pistons are 4-14 against the West, which means Bynum�s dream could fall further into the rear-view mirror.
Pistons' Will Bynum, here grabbing a rebound in front of the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki in the fourth quarter, holds out hope Detroit can squeeze into the playoffs as an eighth seed in the East. / Clarence Tabb Jr / Detroit News

Mount Hermon Association will unveil its plans for a much-debated Felton meadow at a meeting for local residents Tuesday, Feb. 12, in Mount Hermon.
The association purchased the 14.8-acre property from South County Housing, a Gilroy-based nonprofit, on May 16. South County's plans to build low-cost housing in the meadow had collapsed amid environmental objections and neighborhood concerns.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Newton Memorial building, 37 Conference Drive, in Mount Hermon. The meeting place is across Conference Drive from the main parking lot on the grounds of the Christian conference center run by the association.
When the meadow was purchased, Mount Hermon leaders spoke of a vision of outdoor recreational use, keeping the property mostly green and scenic.
Alden Johanson, chief operating officer of Mount Hermon Association, said the association has been working with a landscape architect for several months on plans for the property that is bounded by East Zayante Road, Conference Drive and the Felton Faire shopping center.
"There is definitely no residential or office," Johanson said. "It will still be the way we've been describing it (from the beginning)."
Since purchasing the meadow, Johanson said, the association has cleared brush and cleaned up several homeless encampments. A fence has been constructed around the land, bordered by a trail for public use. The meadow used to be a shortcut for many people traveling from East Zayante Road or Conference Drive to the Felton Faire shopping center.
At the Tuesday meeting, residents will have a chance to look at maps and illustrations and ask questions.

14 Innovative Cleaning Products for 2013
From window-cleaning robots to stone-sanitizing wipes, the new appliances and tools at this year's International Home and Housewares Show promise to solve your every cleaning conundrum.
By Nicole Price Fasig
Handy Wipes
There's no way around it — cleaning the oven is a pain. Whether you're running a self-clean cycle for several hours, or scouring the inside by hand, it's a lengthy cleaning process. Or at least it was. Cadie's thick Oven-Cleaning Wipes ($4.99 for 10 or $9.99 for 20, amazon.com) are loaded with an orange-oil solvent that promises to cut through grease in a couple swipes. (Not to mention, it lets you avoid the splatter and fumes from traditional formulas.) The pre-moistened towelettes come in a resealable package for added convenience. We think they could be handy for spot cleaning when spills happen so your oven stays cleaner longer.

- Carmel River deadline looms
A consultant's comparison study of three proposed desalination projects has found that the water the projects produce will cost about the same.
However, the study also found that none of the three projects would likely beat the deadline for providing a replacement source of water.
Those were among the highlights of a draft study released by Separation Processes Inc., a consulting firm hired by the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority to compare the desal projects: Cal Am's north Marina plant, Brent Constantz's Deep Water Desal and Nader Agha's People's Desal Project.
The draft study, which will be reviewed by the water authority's technical advisory committee on Tuesday and the authority board in a special session on Wednesday, evaluates various aspects of the projects including an overview of the proposals, their functions and costs, and implementation challenges. While the study suggested that each of the proposals had challenges, it found that none of them had a "fatal flaw."
Carlsbad-based SPI was hired by the authority in August to conduct the study for $60,000, and worked in collaboration with Kris Helm Consulting.
The study was based on information gathered in a 56-item questionnaire with responses from the three project backers, and subsequent interviews with each of them. It used that information to compare desal plants capable of producing either up to 9.4 acre feet or up to 5 acre feet per year, enough to meet the projected demand depending on whether a proposed groundwater replenishment project is available.
SPI's study doesn't include a detailed financial analysis but the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District has provided its own.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie said company officials were still reviewing the study but a "preliminary read" suggested it was a "fair and thorough analysis."
Water activist George Riley, who serves on the regional water authority's technical advisory committee, said the study did a "pretty good job of apples-to-apples comparison," but argued the study was only a "starting point" for assessing a preferred project most capable of reaching completion.
Riley also questioned why the project schedule assumptions seemed so different for each of the proposals. He said Cal Am's project cost benefitted from an initial $99 million infusion of cash from ratepayers not applied to either of the other projects.
Representatives from Deep Water Desal and the People's Desal Project also questioned some of the project's assumptions, including financing details, as well as the exclusion of potential stumbling blocks such as the prohibition on exportation of groundwater from the Salinas Valley and the county's public desal ownership requirement.
The study says Cal Am's desal plant would cost $207 million to $175 million to build, depending on size, with annual operations and maintenance costs of between $11 million and $7.77 million, for a product water cost of between $2,555 and $3,250 per acre foot.
The study found Deep Water Desal's project would cost between $160 million and $134 million to construct, along with annual operations and maintenance costs of between $12.3 million and $9.38 million, for an annual product water cost of between $2,395 and $3,120 per acre foot, while the People's Project was estimated at between $190 million and $161 million in capital costs, between $10.1 million and $7.06 million to operate and maintain, for an annual product water cost of between $2,345 and $2,980 per acre foot.
Bowie suggested a major reason Cal Am's project was estimated to be the most expensive was it had predicted higher power costs than the others, and it would ultimately be able to lower the cost estimate so its project would be the least expensive. In its evaluation of the three proposals' projected timeline, the study had Cal Am leading the way, followed by Deep Water Desal and finally the People's Project, though the study found that none of them would be online by the end of 2016, the state-ordered deadline for cutting back on pumping from the Carmel River.
The study said Cal Am's plant could be built as soon as mid-2017 and able to deliver water by the end of that year. Deep Water Desal's plant could be finished by spring of 2018 and able to deliver water by fall 2018, and the People's Project plant could be done as early as spring 2019 and delivering water by the end of that year, the study found.
The study found there are unresolved issues and questions involving each of the proposals, including public ownership, legal challenges, the use of slant wells and open ocean intake, and community opposition.
The authority's technical advisory committee meets at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and the authority board meets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, both in Monterey city council chambers.

Berlin Music Week, held in and around the Osthafen docks, is the biggest club festival in Europe as well as being a networking event for the music industry. Recording industry professionals from all over the world can get better acquainted at a speed meeting in a pedalo or on a round of urban golf. Music fans can look forward to sensational events at 15 different venues. The former docklands between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg are the city's prime media location and highlight Berlin's importance as the hub of the German music industry.
Every year celebrated baroque musicians perform at the Handel Festival in Halle , Saxony-Anhalt , the birthplace of George Frideric Handel. Musical greats such as the Argentinian mezzo soprano Bernarda Fink and The Dunedin Consort & Players from Scotland are among those to have made guest appearances. The festival traditionally closes with a performance of Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks at the Galgenberg gorge, accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display.
A true cross-border event, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival has attracted visitors to more than a hundred different venues every year since 1986 – not only in Schleswig-Holstein , but also in Lower Saxony , Hamburg and Denmark. Manor houses, barns, churches, palace parks, boats and factory buildings double as unusual venues for all kinds of music from classical to jazz. The festival is themed on a different country every year and this forms the basis of the programme.
Fans of Wagner's operas flock to the Franconian town of Bayreuth in Bavaria every summer for the Bayreuth Festival. This 30-day event presents a different programme of Wagner's key works each year and is held at the festival hall on 'Green Hill'. The venue was built in accordance with Richard Wagner's own concept in the 19th century. Today, the festival is attended by politicians, diplomats and celebrities from all over the world.
A visual and an aural feast: musicians from the Neubrandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing together with more than a hundred golfers at the open-air Golf & Classics concert at Land Fleesensee in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , northern Europe's largest resort for golfing holidays. Luminescent golf balls, struck in time with the music, will be flying through the air, making the concert an unforgettable audio-visual experience. The venue is the driving range at the Göhren-Lebbin palace park.
During the Beethoven Festival, Bonn puts the focus on its most famous son and gives him a 21st-century reboot. Performing works put together specially for the festival, acclaimed musicians such as Lorin Maazel, Kurt Masur and Hélène Grimaud as well as selected newcomers introduce their interpretations of the composer's music. Accompanying the festival is the 'Look at Beethoven' project, which sees young creators of media presenting their take on Beethoven in short films and installations.
The Rheingau Music Festival presents a series of fantastic concerts ranging from serious music to sophisticated entertainment, covering virtually every era, style and genre along the way. The 150-plus concerts that take place at around 40 venues in the Rheingau wine region are attended by over 120,000 visitors. The venues, located between Wiesbaden and Lorch, include palaces, churches, abbeys, wine estates and the river Rhine itself.

text: Hi - I've got a powershot A710 which has served me surprisingly well for a couple of years, but now having pushed it to the max, I'm going for the big upgrade. Having done plenty of homework, I was homing in on the Canon 500D, but I've just been introduced to the Powershot G11 - which looks very meaty indeed. So any advice or suggestions from anyone experienced with either the Powershot G11 or the Canon 500D??? Most of my shots are day-to-day around town - so portability is important, but I also like using macro and doing landscapes/wildlife/nature shots (so all out and about, no studio work). So which do you think would be the most worthy successor to the lowly A710? Many thanks in advance!

In fact, to get an accurate model of a single-ended via, you have to mix SI and PI. The reason is that the power distribution network, or PDN … Read More
Power integrity (PI) is an analysis discipline that has been around for years. Signal integrity (SI) has been around for a few more years. Basically, they both deal with the proper analog operation of digital circuits. So why these specific realms of analysis? The main issue is that there is no such thing as "digital" – what we call "digital" data transmission is really … Read More
I'm taking a brief break from the routing series to share this upcoming event with you because it's a great opportunity for you to learn more about the new release of Xpedition.

If you are able to attend, share your feedback and questions in … Read More
I often talk with friends and colleagues in the PCB design community about trends. A subject that comes up often, and has probably been beaten to death, is the use of auto routers in today's PCB designs. The answer I hear more often than anything else is, "We don't use auto routing on our designs." Why is this? Is there something that auto routers are not providing? Is there something more they could … Read More
What comes to mind when you are ready to tune the routing on a design? Among many thoughts, I seriously doubt that exclamations of joy are running through your head. Sure, after completing the routing of a circuit there is some excitement that a new phase of the process is starting; yet it doesn't take too long for the fun coupons to run out as you have to deal with the tuning complexity and lack of … Read More
Earlier this year I wrote an article on maximizing capacitor effectiveness. I have since received a number of inquiries on mounting capacitors directly to a power via on the opposite side of the board from the IC. This is actually a fairly common design practice that I have seen on many boards. And, the question is, is this better than mounting the capacitors around the outside of the IC on the top … Read More
The weather has been warm in Colorado this week, so that means the windows and doors are now off the jeep. When I'm enjoying the open air I prefer to go on the less used roads, even if my journey is longer. This means I have to turn off the automatic mindless driving mode and think about the journey. For example, I don't automatically turn left to get on the main road, I want to go forward … Read More
This is the third post in this series. View the first and second one. In this series we have talked about the placement challenges that occur when we, as PCB designers, do not get complete information from the engineers. Without enough information, we can't move forward independently. So, how do we correct the issue? Training. But, in order to create a "rock star" design team, training must be a two … Read More
This is the third post in this routing series. View the first and second post. Board fabricators will tell everyone that spacing is king. If the traces can be spread apart and centered between via and/or pin pads, then it will result in higher yields during the fabrication process. Fewer shorts will be created and less work will be required to remove them. In Expedition PCB and Xpedition PCB Layout, … Read More

Firefighters Nick Jamieson, Jonathan Schali and Casey Zenger all were promoted during the ceremony.
Engineers are the step up from frontline firefighters and are in charge of driving the department's vehicles. They also handle firefighting apparatus including the water pumps on the fire trucks at fire scenes.
"I'm very proud of them, and we're getting ready to move the department forward," Chief Steve Hall said Tuesday, Nov. 27.
The three passed a 100-question written exam on fire engineer criteria and a hands-on testing process that included driving and operating various fire trucks, Hall said. Two other candidates did not pass the written test.
Jamieson, Schali and Zenger were originally volunteer firefighters who were promoted to full-time firefighters in October 2008, the chief said. Schali remains a West Stanislaus volunteer firefighter, in addition to his responsibilities as a full-time fire engineer for Patterson.
Two Patterson engineers, a firefighter and two candidates from outside the department were scheduled to be tested Wednesday, Nov. 28, to fill five open captain positions. Results of those tests were not available as of press time.
Acting Capt. Chris Priola, firefighter Marty Greunke and Schali were among those undergoing a four-part test this week that includes a panel interview and exercises in time management, conflict resolution and commanding an emergency situation.
A fire crew typically comprises at least one firefighter, an engineer and a captain. The engineer drives and prepares equipment, while the captain manages radio and cellphone communications. The captain is also responsible for assessing the situation and directing how an emergency should be handled.
Four engineers who have been serving as captains and a permanent captain have been driving engines while also supervising crews for more than a year, because the department has had too few engineers.
Promoting the three firefighters to engineers and some firefighters and engineers to captains will ease pressure on the engineer and captain ranks, Hall said.

WINNIPEG -- Get out your fuel-surcharge calculator.
And tell the consumers you meet that they should expect to pay more for their stuff.
That's the gist of the message expressed by the Manitoba Trucking Association (MTA) this week as diesel fuel jumped to its highest level in over two years.
Driven primarily by the ongoing unrest in the Middle East, particularly in Libya, the price of oil and diesel shot up in the last week.
And you don't have to look far to see the problem.
Around Winnipeg, diesel has been reported as high as $1.16 a liter – a 10 cent jump from last week.
"Fuel is one of the largest cost factors for trucking companies," says MTA Executive Director Bob Dolyniuk. "With the slim profit margins that exist under normal conditions; trucking companies are not able to absorb the increased cost of fuel. "
The increased costs, he says, will be passed along to consumers.
The MTA voiced its concern only days after the American Trucking Associations (ATA) vociferously encouraged the Obama administration to stop blocking domestic oil production, for largely the same reason: The ongoing shenanigans in the Middle East and North Africa.
With political turmoil in that part of the world threatening to send oil prices surging higher, energy independence has never been more important than it is now, the ATA said.
The increase in fuel prices is a double-edged sword for the average consumer as not only will it cost more to get to the store, but also prices will be exponentially higher upon arrival, the MTA says.

After 80 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime ended in a scoreless tie, River Valley defeated the Tigers 5-4 on penalty kicks Thursday, Nov. 1, at Patterson Community Stadium.
Patterson coach Greg Hartsell was disappointed that his team's postseason came down to penalty kicks.
"We knew River Valley was a good team. You don't win your league having a mediocre team," Hartsell said. "I give them credit. They came out and gave us a good game. But I wish there was a better way to decide the game, other then penalty kicks. That outcome doesn't always show what happens on the field."
The threat of rain loomed overhead throughout the game, and neither team made good on its chances in the first half.
The Tigers asserted themselves after the intermission but could not manage to score.
"We had our opportunities, but we just couldn't make them," Hartsell said. "Things just didn't fall our way today."
Four minutes into the second half, Patterson sophomore Marcos Melendez took a short pass from Rogelio Mendosa, a senior, and broke into River Valley's goal box. Melendez made a chip shot toward the goal, but the ball sailed high and over the crossbar.
In the 47th minute, Tiger sophomore Andres Herrera dribbled between two defenders and forced River Valley goalkeeper Triston Montoya to move away from his net to contest the shot.
Herrera's right-footed blast ricocheted off Montoya's gloves and Herrera returned the shot quickly, but the ball was cleared just before it crossed the goal line.
Seven minutes later, Patterson senior Kiki Gonzalez took a free kick from about 25 yards away that landed inside the goal box and right at the feet of Mendosa. Mendosa was unable to make a clean shot, however, and the attempt was saved.
When neither team scored a goal in either of the two 10-minute overtime periods, the match moved to penalty kicks.
"You just don't want your season to end," said Patterson senior Adrian Ramirez, who took the first kick for Patterson. "You focus on every detail. You focus on every shot. You go all out, because if you lose, there is no game the next day."
After watching Ramirez sink the first kick with a shot into the left corner, Alejandro Diaz smacked River Valley's first attempt off the top of the crossbar. The ball bounced straight down and slipped across the goal line.
Melendez successfully sent the ball into the right side of the net, and River Valley's Anthony Carbajal scored on a shot that traveled high and to the right.
After Mendosa's attempt was stopped in the third round of penalty kicks, River Valley's Brandon Blancas set up for his kick and deposited the ball into the right corner of the goal.
Gonzalez went right and he nailed it. River Valley's Gilberto Lopez then shot the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.
Patterson's Osvaldo Barbosa ripped a shot past Montoya in the fifth round of penalty kicks. But Hector Ramos of River Valley also scored with a shot to the right, giving the visitors a victory.
"It's too bad that this game went to penalty kicks," Gonzalez said. "But I'll take the memories of this season with me. The bond we had on this team — we were like brothers."
The Tigers had much to be proud of since starting practice in the sweat-soaked days of mid-August.
Drawing on considerable youth and depth, Patterson celebrated its first league title since 2009 with a 10-1-1 WAC campaign that included a five-game winning streak going into last week's game.
The team will lose only seven players next season, and all but three of the 11 starters are expected to return.
"Nobody expected us to win WAC. Nobody expected us to do what we did this season," Hartsell said. "We have so many of these players returning next year. We'll find our way back (to the playoffs) next season. Our confidence will be high."

I am the lucky owner of a brand new 2006 Slayer Xtreme. I had my first Xtreme shot this Saturday, and it just felt great.
Since 1993 I had a Cougar Speed Flite hanging on my wall wanting to use it some day, and in November 2004 I took it down and entered the local archery club. During last winter and this summer I found that the sport was just me. I also found that the bow compared with todays designs and tech spec's was a bit outdated hoping to find the money for a newer bow some day. And only a month ago, just after the release of the 2006 models, I was able to buy a new bow. With the help of Don from Archery Sport USA I now have the Slayer Xtreme next to me. What a thrill to shot with. No vibration, silent and providing steady shots ..... just perfect. My sincere admiration for the design and functionallity.

|What a great product and great price! These bowl covers are very versatile (so easy to use!) and work really well. AND...you can rinse them and re-use them over and over again. If you haven't ordered these yet, DO SO! For $1.50 it's a great bargain!

|I saw Eric using this product in one of his videos and thought it was a great product to use. However, I wasn't able to tell the quality of the product. If it was the same as the cheap quality shower caps hotels give out, they certainly wouldn't last too long and I really wouldn't be very interested in them. I figured it was worth the shot adding them on my next order and I'm very glad I did. They are of much better quality than the cheap-o "shower caps". The plastic is of fairly sturdy thickness and the elastic seems of a nice quality that should maintain its stretch well. With decent care, these caps should last for some time. The product is a great value and I recommend it.
