I own the first two versions of this book and was looking forward to the third version. There was a lot of change between the first and second editions, but this third edition does not have that much new material. The authors let you know in the preface that the major update to this version of the book is that it has been updated for Visual Studio 2012. My personal preference is to always have the latest edition. I would say if you want to get familiar with doing Scrum with TFS this is the book you want. It really does not cover the other templates at all. I am not saying that is bad, but when I read the second edition of the book it is not what I expected or wanted. I already had read enough on Scrum to last me a lifetime. I wanted to see more on the other templates. All that said, if you have not had the opportunity to get familiar with Scrum this is a great place to get started, especially if you use TFS. The book starts out with an introduction to agile, Scrum, and Visual Studio. It then digs into Scrum and TFS with chapters on Product Ownership, Running the Sprint, Architecture, Development, Build and Lab, Test, Lessons Learned at Microsoft Developer Division, and Continuous Feedback. My favorite chapters are Development, Build and Lab, and Test. The author did a great job of showing all the different features available in TFS and Visual Studio that enable continuous integration, automating testing, and detecting programming errors early. The chapters go into enough detail to give you a really good understanding of the tools available and when to use them. The architecture chapter did a good job of showing how to take advantage of the tools in Visual Studio for reverse engineering existing applications. It does not however show you how to use them to architect an application. Instead the author plays the "Emerging Architecture" trump card, and writes it off to it not being needed in agile processes. I guess this is ok, because the tools in Visual Studio are not ready for prime time when it comes to designing an Architecture. They are however awesome for reverse engineering an application, especially with the new Code Maps. I wholly disagree with the "Emerging Architecture" agile approach and believe it contributes to most of the messes that come out of teams claiming to be agile, but I won't ding the book for it since it is after all what agile prescribes. Personally I think the book should have been titled "Developing with Visual Studio and TFS using the Scrum Template". That is not a bad thing if that is what you want. The book is well written and an easy read. I think is does what it sets out to do and it does it well. It is a top notch book. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Scrum and wants to use the TFS toolset to enable your team to accomplish your mission. I liked the book enough to get the third version even though I knew there were not that many changes. If you are using TFS and the Scrum template this is the book you must have on your shelf. |

By Carmen Gonzalez Cloud data governance was previously an avoided function when cloud deployments were relatively small. With the rapid adoption in public cloud – both rogue and sanctioned, it's not uncommon to find regulated data dumped into public cloud and unprotected. This is why enterprises and cloud providers alike need to embrace a cloud data governance function and map policies, processes and technology controls accordingly.
In her session at 15th Cloud Expo, Evelyn de Souza, Data Privacy and Compliance Strategy Leader at Cisco Systems, will focus on how to set up a cloud data governance program and s... Mar. 5, 2015 04:15 PM EST Reads: 1,046 |

By Carmen Gonzalez The industrial software market has treated data with the mentality of "collect everything now, worry about how to use it later." We now find ourselves buried in data, with the pervasive connectivity of the (Industrial) Internet of Things only piling on more numbers. There's too much data and not enough information.

Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

By Carmen Gonzalez Operational Hadoop and the Lambda Architecture for Streaming Data
Apache Hadoop is emerging as a distributed platform for handling large and fast incoming streams of data. Predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and Internet-of-Things analysis are examples where Hadoop provides the scalable storage, processing, and analytics platform to gain meaningful insights from granular data that is typically only valuable from a large-scale, aggregate view. One architecture useful for capturing and analyzing streaming data is the Lambda Architecture, representing a model of how to analyze rea... Mar. 5, 2015 02:00 PM EST Reads: 1,559 |

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty Mar. 5, 2015 11:15 AM EST Reads: 912 |

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly in the process of breaking from its heretofore relatively obscure enterprise applications (such as plant floor control and supply chain management) and going mainstream into the consumer space. More and more creative folks are interconnecting everyday products such as household items, mobile devices, appliances and cars, and unleashing new and imaginative scenarios. We are seeing a lot of excitement around applications in home automation, personal fitness, and in-car entertainment and this excitement will bleed into other areas. On the commercial side, m...

If you're like many of us, you have struggled to lose weight at some point in your life. Weight loss can often seem like an unobtainable goal if you have not educated yourself about healthy, lasting ways to lose weight. So do yourself a favor and read this article!
A great way to lose weight is to simply walk or ride your bike wherever you go. Choosing to walk to the grocery store instead of driving to it is a good example. You'll be doing the environment a favor, and you'll also be burning calories.
One of the best ways to lose weight is by eating grapefruit. Studies have shown that when grapefruit is eaten with protein, it triggers fat burning and in turn, causes weight loss. So the next time you go grocery shopping, grab some grapefruit when you enter the produce area.
When you are trying to lose weight, take the amount of food you usually eat and divide that portion in two. Check in with yourself after you have finished with that much, and see if you are actually satisfied with half the amount you usually eat. You will be surprised at how often you keep on eating just because it is there in front of you and not because you are actually still hungry.
When looking to lose weight, focus on what you are drinking. Everything that is not water has the possibility of derailing your hard work. Drinks like soda and sugary beverages like Kool-aid all contain plenty of calories which add up very fast. Count these calories, so you stay on the right track.
Without guidance on how to effectively lose weight in a healthy manner, and how to keep that weight off, the struggle to lose weight can often seem like just that – a struggle! The guidelines listed in this article will no doubt save you much frustration and unhappiness as you embark on your weight loss plan.

N.S. cop charged in fight with black men

HALIFAX–A Halifax police officer faces a charge of causing a disturbance following allegations he started a fight with two young black men, but RCMP insist the fracas wasn't sparked by a racial slur.
RCMP investigators said they could find no evidence that a racist taunt was made by officers at the beginning of a scuffle in Digby in June – a key assertion in a case that has inflamed tensions within Nova Scotia's black community.
"The independent witnesses we have do not support that something ... inappropriate was said," Sgt. Mark Gallagher told an RCMP news conference yesterday.
Halifax Regional Police said Const. Adam Stewart Whynott, 26, had been charged and reassigned to a desk job while the criminal case makes its way through the courts.
The RCMP said William Edward Drummond, one of the black men involved in the fight, was also charged with causing a disturbance and resisting a police officer.
Drummond, 20, and Nathaniel Fells, 19, have said they were leaving a Digby bar on June 22 when they encountered a van full of off-duty police officers.
They've stated repeatedly that the fight only began after they were racially insulted by an officer and pursued down the street. However, Gallagher said a witness couldn't confirm hearing the racial insult and he urged residents of Digby not to read too much into the incident.
The two young men were arrested and taken to the local police station, but were later released. They have filed complaints of police brutality.
Darlene Lawrence, a black member of a police anti-racism committee, said members of the black community "aren't happy with these charges against Mr. Drummond."
She is one of a handful of people who have viewed a video of the incident, and has said the two men were backing away from the police.

T-Mobile pushes updates to Galaxy S 4, Galaxy Tab 4, and Galaxy Avant
A trio of devices from Samsung operating on T-Mobile's network are receiving software updates. The Galaxy S 4, Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 LTE, and Galaxy Avant are the devices getting attention today.
The updates for the Galaxy S 4 and Galaxy Avant are identical. Both devices added Chinese as a supported language. The build for the Galaxy S 4′s update is M919UVUFNK2 while the Galaxy Avant's is G386TUVU1ANK3.
The Galaxy Tab 4, though, is getting a heavier update that stabilizes the user experience. The build is T337TUVU1BNK4.
T-Mobile and Sprint Causing Verizon and AT&T to Squirm
In a stunning announcement that will make Adam Smith believers proud, AT&T and Verizon appear to be feeling the effects of more intense market forces as an emboldened T-Mobile and Sprint offer more appealing bang for the buck to consumers.
Verizon trumps all other carriers in download speeds
When looking at which carrier to give your hard earned money, the quality of the network is vital. Customers have no reason to stick around if the network's coverage is spotty or speeds are frequently bogged down. Cost comes into play, but carriers in the United States are expensive as a whole. You should pay for what you get.
So which network in the United States is the speediest when it comes to downloading? Hit the break to find out the answer to that question and more.
For limited time you can save $50 when you purchase an HTC One (M8) through T-Mobile
T-Mobile is currently slashing $50 off both the Android and Windows Phone variants of HTC's latest flagship smartphone, the One (M8). So for now, you'll be able to pick one up on either of these operating systems for $535.44 on a prepaid plan.
T-Mobile postpones Nexus 9 launch
T-Mobile appears to be having a rough go of things when it comes to launching this year's Nexus devices. First, T-Mobile didn't receive their shipment of Nexus 6 phablets from Motorola and the company was forced to push back its launch by a week. Next, T-Mobile's delivery of the 64GB model has been less than stellar. Finally, as of today, the company appears to be pushing back the launch of the Nexus 9.
T-Mobile to begin offering the Galaxy Tab S on December 10th
T-Mobile has announced that it will soon start stocking the 10.5-inch Galaxy Tab S in stores for customers to add to their mobile plans. The tablet will be available for $0 down and will cost $27.08 per month for 24 months, putting you at about $650 for the LTE-enabled tablet.

Carriers might start silently installing bloatware on your devices
Carrier bloatware on Android devices is nothing new. Some are worse than others about it, especially Verizon and AT&T, but just about every service provider is guilty of tossing at least one or two apps onto every phone they sell. It looks like some carriers are investing in a way to make sure that you keep those apps installed on your devices, though.

T-Mobile now pushing out Chinese compatibility update for Note 4 & S5
T-Mobile is pushing out an update to all its carrier-branded variants of the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 located in the US. Weighing in at a hefty 128MB, this upgrade doesn't bring much in terms of added functionality, but it does include Chinese language support, as well as a handful of bug fixes, stability improvements and speed optimizations.
Hit the break to view the full changelog for the "mandatory" update.
T-Mobile adds 14 new music streaming services to Music Freedom, including Play Music and SoundCloud
One of T-Mobile's more popular decisions lately has been to remove music streaming from what counts against a customer's data caps. This Uncarrier 6.0 move meant users could stream as much Spotify as they'd like and it wouldn't count against any of their monthly data allotment, which is great for heavy music streamers.
The carrier has slowly been adding new music to what's covered under that Music Freedom umbrella, and today they've announced 14 new services that you can now stream without worrying about data usage, and Google Play Music has finally made the cut.

Micro-optical bench for alignment-free optical coupling
Applied Optics, Vol. 38, Issue 6, pp. 963-965 (1999)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (789 KB)
We propose an optical coupling module, the micro-optical bench, designed for the purpose of completely passive alignment of optical components. The principle is for one to position a planar microlens array, semiconductor device submounts, and optical fibers by using reference planes and V grooves made on a Si substrate. A prototype was fabricated, and we achieved an optical coupling loss of less than 3 dB; small deviations among channels as low as 1 dB were achieved without any precise alignment. For multimode fibers, a coupling loss of approximately 0.5 dB was obtained.

DEFINITION of 'Closely Held Stock'
A company whose common shares are owned by one individual owner or by a small group of controlling stockholders. This is in contrast to a widely held stock, in which thousands or even millions of different investors may own shares in a large company.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Closely Held Stock'
Closely held stock is typically not publicly traded on exchanges because the small number of owners rarely sell their shares. A common way that a closely held stock is created is when an entrepreneur starts and incorporates his or her own business, but retains ownership of all the company's outstanding shares.

A very important letter from Jerry Flynn
In case readers didn't already know this, here are some facts that every school board - No, every community on earth - should know about cell towers (and wireless technology in general). . . .
Readers might be surprised to learn that the biggest single donors to the WHO are: 1) Bill and Melinda Gates, and 2) the USA! Knowing this should help people view skeptically if not cynically any pronouncements from the WHO.
Related items are below:
Russia - has a 2,000 METER 'no-man's land' around cell towers, within which no one is allowed to live or work! . . .
France - a) banned Wi-Fi in kindergartens in 2015! In middle schools, Wi-Fi must be turned off when not in use. . . .
United Kingdom - Chief Medical Officers strongly recommend that children younger than 16 should NOT use cell phones! . . .
Taiwan - It is illegal for children under two (2) to use wireless technology! Parents can be fined! Parents have to ensure children under 18 use electronic products for a "reasonable length of time."
European Parliament - In 2008 urged tighter safety standards for cell phones and all wireless technology (DECT phones, Wi-Fi routers, etc.)
Russia - It's Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (RNCIRP) issued a Press Release in 2008, entitled: "Children and Mobile Phones: The Health of Following Generations is at Risk!" It said children under 18 should not use cell phones!
India - Ministry of Telecommunications said children under 16 should not use cell phones!
Israel - Ministry of Health. Recommends youth to limit use of cell phones; don't use them in enclosed spaces; use wired ear pieces.
Finland - Government urges children to limit use of cell phones as long-term effects are not yet known.
ICEMS - International Commission on Electromagnetic Safety (one of the most respected group of international esteemed scientists from various countries) Says industry is wrong in saying there is no evidence that all wireless is dangerous. Urges people of all ages, but especially children, to limit use of cell phones and other wireless technologies.
United Kingdom - Education Professionals Union (Voice) (formerly the Professional Association of Teachers) - Calls for moratorium on new Wi-Fi installations in schools and withdrawal of existing Wi-Fi networks.
Association of Teachers and Lecturers - in 2009 called for a suspension of existing Wi-Fi networks as they were concerned by scientific reports linking wi-fi with impaired concentration, loss of short-term memory, chromosome damage and increased incidence of cancer!
Scotland - over 50% of councils in Scotland are now operating precautionary policies to prevent masts from being sited near schools, hospitals and residential areas.
Germany - a) Germany's Health Protection Agency urged removal of cordless phones; use cabled communications instead of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
b) Frankfurt City and Bavarian Parliament - recommend against Wi-Fi in schools;
The Teachers' Union for Education and Knowledge told its members to resist roll-out of Wi-Fi on safety grounds.
Salzburg, Austria - Public Health Department warned that Wi-Fi should not be installed in schools or nurseries.
Austria - Austrian Medical Association is lobbying against deployment of Wi-Fi in schools.

Blood tests sent to NBN Co to thwart tower plans
Australia - Testing liability for health trends (NBN National Broadband Network)
"Two northern NSW resident action groups campaigning against NBN towers have sent blood sample results to NBN Co and its contractors in a bid to scare them off their rollout plans.
"The groups - the Friends of Condong Ridge, which opposes a tower at Clothiers Creek, and the OREAD Project in Kyogle shire - say they have taken a leaf from the book of anti-cell tower campaigners in Wales.
"Under the strategy, residents take a blood test before a cell tower is erected and send the results with a legal liability letter to the telco, its contractors and the land owner hosting the tower.
"The letter states that further pathology tests will be undertaken once the tower is in place, and threatens litigation if any trend is uncovered between the 'before' and 'after' tests. . . .
"Blood tests represent a dramatic escalation in the avenues of opposition at the disposal of residents groups, who have typically used grassroots political action and pressure on councils to stop or shift the location of tower projects.
"Despite appearances, Bloom said his group was not against the rollout of fast internet.
"We're pro fast internet but we don't believe fixed wireless is a good technology," he said.
"Bloom noted that when the fixed wireless contracts were awarded in 2011, fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) was not a rollout option as per the previous Labor Government's majority fibre-to-the-premise approach.
"However, Clothiers Creek has existing copper connections, and Bloom said he wanted to test their feasibility to carry internet services that could be much faster than fixed wireless. . . .
Wikipedia entry: "The National Broadband Network (NBN) is a national wholesale-only, open-access data network and is under development in Australia. It is based on the premise that fixed line and wireless broadband connections are sold to retail service providers (RSP), who then sell Internet access and other services to consumers.
The NBN was subject to political and industry debate for a number of years, before construction actually commenced.
The 2013 Federal Election and subsequent change of government from Labor to the Liberal/National Coalition prompted a strategic review to be commissioned to determine the ideal infrastructure mix to deliver fast broadband across the country as quickly as possible. The review commenced in October 2013 and is due to report to government in December 2013. . .
France: New National Law Bans WIFI in Nursery Schools

France Passes New National Law!
Letter of Notice re Betrayal of Public Trust
to Richard Adams of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) from Eileen O'Connor, Director of Radiation Research Trust
Please read and share the following amazing letter by Eileen O'Connor of the UK's Radiation Research Trust. In it, she confronts Richard Adams for failing to disclose his conflicts of interest with utility companies that are pushing smart meters throughout Europe. Mr. Adams influenced members of the European Economic and Social Committee to consider that Electro-hypersensivity (EHS) is psychosomatic, and not a physical reaction to the RF/EMR. The estimates are that 22,000,000 to 37,000,000 people in Europe alone suffer EHS, but this could be low, and definitely will be increasing, just as it is in Canada.
Note that both The Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, and Citizens for Safe Technology are signatories.
". . . The Radiation Research Trust reminds Mr Adams of his duty to respect the relevant convention rights applicable before the dissemination of smart meters and draws his attention to Section 6 (1) of the Human Rights Act of public authorities 1998 which states clearly "it is unlawful for a Public Authority to act in a way which is incompatible with Convention Right." Article 6 "the right to a fair and impartial hearing" and article 8 "the right to respect for private and family life, home and possessions." The rights of people suffering with electrohypersensitivity are currently violated. It is time to apply the Convention established in the European Court of Human Rights. Any person who feels his or her rights have been violated under the Convention by a state party can take a case to the Court and call for support for the right to life, prohibition of torture and prohibition of discrimination, this is a basic requirement in policy making. The European Convention on Human Rights (formally the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) is an international treaty to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in Europe which in democratic societies are usually afforded legal protection from the state. . . .
"Many people are now looking for justice following the milestone legal cases being won related to EMFs. As examples: in 2011, the Spanish Labour Court in Madrid declared hypersensitivity, caused in part by EMF exposure, can cause permanent disability. In 2012, the Italian Supreme Court ruled the Insurance Body for Work (INAIL) must compensate a worker who developed a tumour due to long-term, heavy use of mobile phones on the job. In 2013, the Australian government was ordered to pay claims for damaging the health of an employee with EMF sensitivity. Such rulings set a precedent for future conditions related to hypersensitivity to these microwaves.
"A new perspective is required by the telecommunications industry in order to better protect the general public, the environment and their own shareholders. The same holds true for governments. Potential risks are already being acknowledged in industry. . . .
"The clock has started ticking on liability and the time has arrived to deal with this issue as a matter of urgency . . .
"As of 18th February, 2015 European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) member Mr. Richard Adams absolutely, irrefutably has received the latest science from doctors and scientists from around the world on this issue.
"Future claims for damages to health as a result of the counter-opinion on electrohypersensitivity being accepted by the EESC could be founded on this letter . . .
Maryland Smart Meter Awareness (MSMA) Website
education and advocacy to protect public health
Who We Are
Maryland Smart Meter Awareness (MSMA) is an alliance of concerned people that have come together in response to the mass rollout of digital, wireless smart meters. We feel that Smart Meters violate our rights to health, national security, privacy, and safety.
What We Want
We are asking the Public Service Commission (PSC) to impose a moratorium on Smart Meters until they are conclusively proven reliable and safe. The least we are asking is for an "opt out" for those who would prefer to retain their analogue meter at no additional penalty or cost to the consumer.
Specifically, we aim to protect the rights of all residents to:
Digital Electronic "Internet of Things" (IoT)
Digital Electronic "Internet of Things" (IoT) and "Smart Grid Technologies" to Fully Eviscerate Privacy
Global Research
Centre for Research on Globalization
" . . . The IoT refers to all digital electronic and RFID-chipped devices wirelessly connected to the internet. The number of such items has increased dramatically since the early 2000s. In 2003 an estimated 500 million gadgets were connected, or about one for every twelve people on earth. By 2015 the number has grown 50 fold to an estimated 25 billion, or 3.5 units per person. By 2020 the IoT is expected to double the number of physical items it encompasses to 50 billion, or roughly 7 per individual.
"The IoT is developing in tandem with the "Smart Grid," comprised of tens of millions of wireless transceivers (a combination cellular transmitter and receiver) more commonly known as "smart meters." Unlike conventional wireless routers, smart meters are regarded as such because they are equipped to capture, store, and transmit an abundance of data on home energy usage with a degree of precision scarcely imagined by utility customers. On the contrary, energy consumers are typically appeased with persuasive promotional materials from their power company explaining how smart meter technology allows patrons to better monitor and control their energy usage. . . .
"Perhaps the greatest irony is how the Internet of Things, the Smart Grid and their attendant "Smart Home" are sold under the guise of convenience, personal autonomy, even knowledge production and wisdom.
"The more data that is created," Cisco gushes, "the more knowledge and wisdom people can obtain. IoT dramatically increases the amount of data available for us to process. This, coupled with the Internet's ability to communicate this data, will enable people to advance even further."
"In light of the grave privacy and health-related concerns posed by this techno tsunami, the members of a sane society might seriously ask themselves exactly where they are advancing, or being compelled to advance to."
a law addressing electromagnetic fields and EHS.
Today the French Parliament passed a law addressing electromagnetic
fields and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. While the new law does not
go nearly far enough, it is the first of its kind in the world. Among
its provisions are the following:
Taiwan orders parents to limit children's time with electronic games
The Telegraph - Parents in Taiwan face hefty fines if they let their offspring spend too long gaping at televisions or playing video games
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and Human Rights
Commentary to the European Economic and Social Committee on the European Convention on Human Rights
Attached is a commentary by Dr. Isaac Jamieson on Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and Human Rights. As more of us are forced to live with higher and higher levels of exposure, the number of people who are sensitive is increasing dramatically. Victims suffer in many ways, including discrimination. It is vital that human rights be respected and measures taken to provide a safer environment.
The following is brief commentary on Human Rights, as related to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and other conditions that may be affected as a result of exposure to manmade electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
In this present work, relevant sections of the convention are indicated in the text below and their implications discussed.
It is intended that this commentary will be of benefit to policy makers, industry and members of the general public.
Of special note is the chart on page 2 showing exposure limits in various countries. Canada and the US have the same limits as ICNIRP recommends. Please see the statement at the bottom of the page - there are techniques and wireless devices that can cut levels significantly. Why aren't they being used in North America?
Prof. Martin Pall - How WiFi and other EMFs Cause Biological Harm
Stop Smart Meters! (UK)
From the Arne Naess Seminar, 18th October 2014, Oslo, Norway.
Introduction by: Einar Flydal, retired from the ICT industry, business and academia
Main presentation by: Martin L. Pall
Questions / comments from the audience
Organizers: Einar Flydal in cooperation with Arne Naess Chair in global justice and environment.
The video has English speech and Norwegian text. Prof. Martin Pall's presentation begins at 8 min 15 sec.
"I think this is going to be one of the major issues in the next few years. Most people are not aware of this, and the people who are mostly know the old data - and there's a lot of new [information] on this that's extremely, extremely important" ~ Prof Martin Pall, Oslo, 18 October 2014.
The following presentation, given by Professor emeritus Martin L. Pall of Washington State University, explains that governments and industry bodies claiming wireless technologies to be harmless are, tragically and verifiably, wrong.
Whilst some governments - such as those in the UK, Canada and the US - continue to hide behind "obsolete" and "out of date" thermal models set by private industry groups decades ago, eminent physicist, geneticist and cell biologist Prof. Martin L. Pall carefully explains in this brilliant presentation that pathophysiological effects from non-thermal exposures are demonstrable and the mechanisms for this harm are understood and replicable.
Pall shows us how, with an increasing preponderance of so-called 'smart' meters, 'smart' phones and other microwave-emitting technologies and infrastructure, the health of the public is in danger; that our young are the most at risk and that urgent action to protect people is now required.
Prof. Pall's extensive research over recent decades into this issue shows that:
Microwaves damage humans at levels far below present radiation limits, through mechanisms at the cellular level
These biological mechanisms can - completely or partially - be behind growing "unexplained illnesses" like sudden cardiac death, ME, weakened immune system, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress, and increased DNA breakage, etc.
The effects can, in principle, affect all multicellular animals, and is proven, for example, in mussels (molluscs)
You need neither New Age, tendentious science or conspiracy theories to justify this.
Some of Pall's many peer-reviewed studies on this issue are listed in the final two minutes of this presentation.
The conclusion to be drawn from these revelations is that we are now, without question, facing a new and increasingly present environmental pollutant and the time for government dilly-dallying is over. This issue carries huge implications for the environment, human health, construction and placement of cell towers, smart meters, computers in schools and care for individuals presenting with symptoms of EHS.
Prof. Pall's first article on EMFs and their role in VGCC-activation earned a place in the "Global Medical Discovery" list of the most important articles in medicine in 2013, and in this lecture he provides up-to-date information on a problem that cannot be ignored.
Please share it widely.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Frambozen begins with the aroma of fresh red raspberries, followed by the ripe seductiveness of a fruity brown ale with depth and delicate malt notes. It is deep ruby in color, with flavors just as rich. Every year, New Belgium sends a delegate to the Pacific Northwest to oversee the process of turning freshly picked berries into a pure juice to be added in fermentation. The coming of Thanksgiving at New Belgium is ushered in with the first sighting of our cellar operators scuttling about, covered head to tow in a festive crimson berry wash.

5... Qe4
Qd4 and you lose your e4 pawn, once you block the check qxe2 and youre the one who actually loses castling rights.
why play the exchange variation. there are much more advantageous lines.
The exchange variation followed by d4 can be good. If white can survive the middlegame against blacks 2 bishops, he will win in the endgame, since white will be able to create a pawn majority on the king side, while black won't be able to do the same on the queen side. But again, the middlegame is usually better for black. All in all, it is not a bad opening, but there are more advantageous lines for white.
I think the OP is actually asking how to play the Exchange Variation as black after Nxe5. I second Qd4.
Best for black is 5 ... Qd4, 6Nf3 Qxe4+, 7Qe2 QxQ+, 8KxQ Bf5, 9d3 (as per NimzoRoy) o-o-o -----5... Qg5 and 5 ... Qe7 regain the pawn but not as advantageously.
If Qd4 then 6. Ng4 Qxe5+7. Ne4You won't lose your castling here, but is this really worth it?
5.Ne5? is a mistake. That's why masters don't play it. I only found one game with it in my DB out of 5.5 million games.
Here's a master game in fact Chigorin was ranked #7 in 1900 according to http://www.edochess.ca/players/p388.html 5...Qd4 worked for Chigorin, however I never heard of Hellbach and suspect he was way out of his league here, and playing a 3rd-rate move like 5.Ne5 only made things worse for him.
My line is better. Now if I can only find a way to get back to the 19th century...
Best for black is 5 ... Qd4, 6Nf3 Qxe4+, 7Qe2 QxQ+, 8KxQ Bf5, 9c3 o-o-o -----5... Qg5 and 5 ... Qe7 regain the pawn but not as advantageously.
9.d3 is better than 9.c3 in your line, because the QN can go to c3 since the KN isn't pinned by 8...Bg4 like Chigorin played. If you were intending c3 and d4 for White that justs reduces the mobility of his QB and increase the mobility of Black's QB. BUT if you worked this line out on your own I'm impressed - you had the same overall plan as Chigorin inc ...0-0-0 but excluding 8...Bg4

Hey... I want to come, but I'm a little confused too. Is this a club / party / social event? Or is this for shooting pictures? Is there a dress code? Also, I'm a tremendous newbie, so will I be able to use my camera's built in flash, or will that disturb others / the models? Finally, I'm kinda shy, so will there be friendly, welcoming people there? =D

For anyone coming for the first time: Once you get past the coat check and up the elevator to the penthouse level you're at the space. It has 2 levels. The 1st level is mainly a bar area with some seating. Take the stairs on the right side up to the 2nd level - there's a great cityscape vantage point going up the stairs, east looking at the NYTimes building and north. There's another bar, seating and DJ space up there.
For shooters:
Ambient lighting is very low with mainly CFC-type lamps on the side. You'll definitely need your own light source. The ceiling is a semi-transparent off white material that's about 10 to 11 feet high. Can be bounce flashed, although on nice nights they'll slide parts of it off so it will be open sky. Lines of sight are very tight. If you have a 24-70 lens, or similar, it probably would be best. A[masked] is useful in the lower end for 3/4's and close ups - for full size sensor, use equivalents for cropped sensors. Hope to see everyone there.

Anyway, might you be looking for Euphorbia cyathophora aka Fire on the Mountain? See images below.
I see that according to the USDA site, it is native to most of the US.
You might want to try requesting it for a trade calling it by its Latin and common names. Euphorbia cyathophora aka Fire on the Mountain.

Latin AmericaChe's motorcycle companion dies Alberto Granado accompanied Guevara on an epic road trip credited with fuelling the revolutionary's sense of injustice. 06 Mar 2011 10:09 GMT | Latin America, Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela Alberto Granado, pictured at home in Havana in 2007, was invited to Cuba by Guevara in the early 1960s [EPA] Alberto Granado, the motorcycling companion of iconic revolutionary Che Guevara, has died in Havana at the age of 88, according to Cuban state media. Granado had lived in Cuba since the early 1960s after being invited to the Caribbean island by Guevara following the country's revolution. His body is to be cremated and his ashes scattered in Argentina, Cuba and Venezuela as Granado requested, state media said. Granado, a biochemist, and Guevara, then a young medical student, embarked together in 1951 on an epic road trip which took them the length of South America from their native Argentina. The adventure, in which the pair worked at a colony for leprosy patients and met impoverished miners and indigenous South Americans, is credited with fuelling the sense of injustice that led Guevara to join Fidel Castro's uprising against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. The pair started their journey on a spluttering Norton motorcycle but they were soon reduced to travelling on foot, by bus or boat, and hitchhiking when the bike - nicknamed "La Poderosa" or "the powerful one" - broke down irreparably. Granado's account of the trip, Traveling with Che Guevara: The Making of a Revolutionary, as well as Guevara's diaries, formed the basis for a 2004 film, The Motorcycle Diaries, directed by Walter Salles and starring Gael García Bernal as Che and Rodrigo de la Serna as Alberto. Guevara was killed in Bolivia in 1967 while attempting to foment a revolution in the Andean country.Source: Agencies

Maxim, the once red-hot men's magazine whose newsstand and advertising-page growth has stalled as it reaches adolescence, announced yesterday that Ed Needham, the managing editor of Rolling Stone, had been hired as editor in chief.
Mr. Needham replaces Keith Blanchard, who will become the chief creative executive for television, film and radio projects at Maxim's parent company, Dennis Publishing USA.
Maxim found quick success after first publishing in the United States in 1997, eventually accruing 2.5 million paying readers with a formula of bawdy humor and racy, but not pornographic, pictorials of models, actresses and other celebrities, an approach that was borrowed from the so-called lad magazines of Britain. But while the domestic version of Maxim is one of the stronger magazines in the industry, it is not the juggernaut it once was.
Maxim has suffered increased clutter in a category it once had to itself. Stuff, another young men's magazine introduced by Dennis, may have cannibalized some of the market, and FHM, another American version of a British publication, has found an audience as well.
In the first half of this year, advertising pages were down 12 percent compared with the period a year ago, according to the Publishers Information Bureau, although the company says it has raised its rates to more than compensate. The magazine's newsstand sales, once the envy of the entire industry and a good measure of current consumer interest, have begun to sag. In the last six months of 2003, single-copy sales were down 14.6 percent, to 724,170, compared with the previous year.
Mr. Needham, a former editor of FHM both in Britain and in the United States, was hired two years ago at Rolling Stone, which is owned by Wenner Media, in an effort to inject some of the energy and success of the lad magazines into the music magazine.
But from the beginning, Mr. Needham had an uneasy relationship with Jann Wenner, owner and chief executive of the company, who retained the title of editor of Rolling Stone. Although Mr. Wenner coveted the ability of the newer magazines to attract young readers with busy layouts and shorter articles, he was not eager to let go of the magazine's editorial legacy. The relationship ended suddenly yesterday when Mr. Needham, who had been hired with fanfare, walked in and announced he was quitting.
"It was something of a surprise, and we don't have a candidate right now," said Kent Brownridge, general manager of Wenner Media. "But within two weeks we will have a list of candidates that I think will impress everyone."
Andy Clerkson, editorial director at Dennis, said that Mr. Needham's background in both Britain and the United States made him "the only person for the job, really." And Mr. Clerkson said he did not believe that the Maxim phenomenon was going away anytime soon. "We have an editorial concept that is bold enough to sell on the newsstand and has attracted 2.5 million readers," he said. "I don't see that losing salience now or anytime soon."
