One frequently overlooked area in planning is technical reviews and inspections. A technical review requires substantial preparation on the part of the presenters. Documents must be published and distributed and presentation material organized and made into slides or overheads. Practice sessions are conducted by presenters with an audience of critics to prepare for the review.
The reviewers should read the material, attend the presentations, and write reports. On large projects with many reviews and walk-throughs involving many participants, a substantial number of labor hours can be consumed analyzing documents, attending meetings, and writing reports. For example, a system design review for one module or unit can require 150 labor hours. When overlooked, this labor can result in a very large error in resource and schedule estimation.
Many projects include risk assessment and risk management as a key part of the planning process and expect the plan to identify specific risk areas. The plan is expected to quantify both probability of failure and consequences of failure and to describe what will be done to contain development risk.

Microsoft to Offer Free Virus Protection Software for
Windows
By Scott Gilbertson November 19, 2008
Microsoft plans to offer Windows users a new antivirus
package designed to protect the OS from viruses, spyware,
rootkits and trojans. The new software is tentatively code-
named Morro, and will be available for free to Windows XP,
Vista and 7 users sometime in the second half of 2009.
The new software will reportedly use very minimal resources,
which means it should work well with older PCs. If fact,
Microsoft says Morro has been specially designed for older
PCs and low-spec machines popular in developing nations. In
addition to its minimal processor demands, Morro has been
developed to use very little bandwidth,making it ideal for those
without broadband connections.
Morro will replace Microsoft's current, paid service, Windows
Live One Care, which has been available on a subscription
basis for $50 per year.
While a free, antivirus solution that ships with Windows would
be a boon for the average user, it could also mean trouble for
third-party software solutions. Given that a bundled solution
could raise antitrust concerns and would no doubt see
competitors like McAfee and Grisoft reaching for the lawyers
Microsoft will be offering Morro as a separate download.
Assuming Morro can deliver decent security it should be a
welcome free addition to Windows, but we don't suggest
throwing away your third-party software just yet. Antivirus
software suites will likely continue to hold an edge over Morro
by offering additional handy tools like password managers,
identity theft protection and browser-based phishing
protection.
Still, if you've been running Windows with no antivirus software
at all,Morrowill no doubt be better than nothing, and it's hard to
argue with free.

Putting the brain’s soundtracks to work
The brain is a dynamic, living organ. Every brain has a
soundtrack. Its tempo and tone will vary, depending on mood,
frame of mind, and other features of the brain itself. When that
soundtrack is recorded and played back it may sharpen their
reflexes during a crisis, and calm their nerves afterwards.
Over the past decade, the influence of music on
cognitive development, learning, and emotional well-being has
emerged as a hot field of scientific study. To explore music’s
potential relevance to emergency response, the Dept of Homeland
Security’s Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) has begun
a study into a form of neurotraining called “Brain Music” that
uses music created in advance from listeners’ own brain waves to
help them deal with common ailments like insomnia, fatigue, and
headaches stemming from stressful environments. The concept of
Brain Music is to use the frequency, amplitude, and duration of
musical sounds to move the brain from an anxious state to a more
relaxed state. Their goal is to find new ways to help first
responders perform at the highest level possible, without
increasing tasks, training, or stress levels.
If the brain “composes” the music, the first job of
scientists is to take down the notes. Each recording is converted
into two unique musical compositions designed to trigger the
body’s natural responses, for example, by improving productivity
while at work, or helping adjust to constantly changing work
hours.
The compositions are clinically shown to promote one
of two mental states in each individual: relaxation — for reduced
stress and improved sleep; and alertness — for improved
concentration and decision-making. If used properly, the music
can boost productivity and energy levels, or trigger a body’s
natural responses to reduce stress.

potential relevance to emergency response, the Dept of Homeland
Security’s Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) has begun
a study into a form of neurotraining called “Brain Music” that
uses music created in advance from listeners’ own brain waves to
help them deal with common ailments like insomnia, fatigue, and
headaches stemming from stressful environments. The concept of
Brain Music is to use the frequency, amplitude, and duration of
musical sounds to move the brain from an anxious state to a more
relaxed state. Their goal is to find new ways to help first
responders perform at the highest level possible, without
increasing tasks, training, or stress levels.
If the brain “composes” the music, the first job of
scientists is to take down the notes. Each recording is converted
into two unique musical compositions designed to trigger the
body’s natural responses, for example, by improving productivity
while at work, or helping adjust to constantly changing work
hours.
The compositions are clinically shown to promote one
of two mental states in each individual: relaxation — for reduced
stress and improved sleep; and alertness — for improved
concentration and decision-making. If used properly, the music
can boost productivity and energy levels, or trigger a body’s
natural responses to reduce stress.

The brain is a dynamic, living organ. Every brain has a
soundtrack. Its tempo and tone will vary, depending on mood,
frame of mind, and other features of the brain itself. When that
soundtrack is recorded and played back it may sharpen their
reflexes during a crisis, and calm their nerves afterwards.
Over the past decade, the influence of music on
cognitive development, learning, and emotional well-being has
emerged as a hot field of scientific study. To explore music’s
potential relevance to emergency response, the Dept of Homeland
Security’s Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) has begun
a study into a form of neurotraining called “Brain Music” that

The brain operates in the same units that sound waves are measured in, like frequency, amplitude, and duration.
