"I have just been 'future endeavored'. Well..if that's how it is I would like to take a moment to publicly apologize to Dwayne 'the Rock Johnson. In an effort to make WM28 as big as possible I tried to expose rock for his flaws. Very childish and immature on my behalf. My comments about the rocks absence were both unprofessional and childish. I am sorry. Rock, I truly wish and still hope in my heart of Hearts that the crazy old man who is the boss reconsiders his totally rash decision. Because chicago was insane last night. And it made me think of what Miami could have been. I guess sometimes u do not know what u have until it is lost."
Cena also asks his Twitter followers to email WWE so they will change their minds. Again, this is another storyline twist. Of course he's not really fired.

When I was young, my parents and teachers and leaders taught me to say, "thank you", and in response, "you're welcome". Today, "YOU'RE WELCOME" is rarely heard. "NO PROLBLEM" has become far too commonplace and casual and meaningless. When I go into a business and say, "thanks", I never hear the words "you're welcome". I think "no problem" should be gone.

Maybe I'm just being a wet blanket, but lists like this rub me the wrong
way. There's certainly some good advice here (one should never talk
disparagingly of one's coworkers, for example), but there's a fair bit
of arbitrariness as well. Some gripes:
* "But" and "and" are neither synonymous nor universally interchangeable, as should be clear from the example sentence.
* Hedges like "I think" and "this may be a dumb question" aren't used to advance the overt objectives of the conversation but rather to modulate the social interaction in which the conversation is occurring. Use or avoidance of phrases like these depends on a number of cultural and context-specific factors that can hardly be considered in such pithy recommendations as are given in this list.
* "Please" (as in, "please help me understand...") is another word whose meaning is primarily socio-cultural; counter-intuitively, it can convey increased social distance, inequality, even condescension.
It's wise to give careful consideration to what we say at work. But giving (or following) oversimplified advice can lead to pitfalls, too.

I would picture there are 10s of thousands of good scouters and leaders that
read the Deseret News that should be responding to the ones that don't like
scouting or the one of the best ways for young men to learn about values in life
that endure and become part of their character. Scouters are prepared more
prepared for choosing a career and wanting to excel in whatever they are
pursuing. Even though not every scout goes into the military, they have learned
many skills that prepare for service to our country. Some military officers may
not have integrity in their character but those that were scouts have a better
chance of enduring to the end with a clear conscience in dealings with everyone
in an honest and true way. There are some leaders in the scouting movement that
have not had those high values internalized and that is unfortunate. However,
there are controls within scouting, especially in the past 30 years to help
reinforce the importance of enforcement in those codes of conduct with all
people, especially those scouts that they work with.
We need people to show courage and display to those that defame the scouts they know.

Article: Mapping Traumatic Axonal Injury Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Correlations with Functional Outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ameliorating the neurocognitive and physical deficits that accompany traumatic brain injury would be of substantial benefit, but the mechanisms that underlie them are poorly characterized. This study aimed to use diffusion tensor imaging to relate clinical outcome to the burden of white matter injury. Sixty-eight patients, categorized by the Glasgow Outcome Score, underwent magnetic resonance imaging at a median of 11.8 months (range 6.6 months to 3.7 years) years post injury. Control data were obtained from 36 age-matched healthy volunteers. Mean fractional anisotropy, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and eigenvalues were obtained for regions of interest commonly affected in traumatic brain injury. In a subset of patients where conventional magnetic resonance imaging was completely normal, diffusion tensor imaging was able to detect clear abnormalities. Significant trends of increasing ADC with worse outcome were noted in all regions of interest. In the white matter regions of interest worse clinical outcome corresponded with significant trends of decreasing fractional anisotropy. This study found that clinical outcome was related to the burden of white matter injury, quantified by diffusivity parameters late after traumatic brain injury. These differences were seen even in patients with the best outcomes and patients in whom conventional magnetic resonance imaging was normal, suggesting that diffusion tensor imaging can detect subtle injury missed by other techniques. An improved in vivo understanding of the pathology of traumatic brain injury, including its distribution and extent, may enhance outcome evaluation and help to provide a mechanistic basis for deficits that remain unexplained by other approaches.PLoS ONE 05/2011; 6(5):e19214.

ABSTRACT: Clinical audits have suggested up to 40% of patients with disorders of consciousness may be misdiagnosed, in part, due to the highly subjective process of determining, from a patient's behaviour, whether they retain awareness of self or environment. To address this problem, objective neuroimaging methods, such as positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging have been explored. Using these techniques, paradigms, which do not require the patient to move or speak, can be used to determine a patient's level of residual cognitive function. Indeed, visual discrimination, speech comprehension and even the ability to respond to command have been demonstrated in some patients who are assumed to be vegetative on the basis of standard behavioural assessments. Functional neuroimaging is now increasingly considered to be a very useful and necessary addition to the clinical assessment process, where there is concern about the accuracy of the diagnosis and the possibility that residual cognitive function has remained undetected. In this essay, the latest neuroimaging findings are reviewed, the limitations and caveats pertaining to interpretation are outlined and the necessary developments, before neuroimaging becomes a standard component of the clinical assessment are discussed.Advances and technical standards in neurosurgery 01/2011; 36:3-16.

Article: Diffusion weighted imaging distinguishes the vegetative state from the minimally conscious state[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The vegetative (VS) and minimally conscious (MCS) states are currently distinguished on the basis of exhibited behaviour rather than underlying pathology. Although previous histopathological studies have documented different degrees of diffuse axonal injury as well as damage to the thalami and brainstem regions in VS and MCS, these differences have not been assessed in vivo, and therefore, do not provide a measurable pathological marker to aid clinical diagnosis. Currently, the diagnostic decision-making process is highly subjective and prone to error. Indeed, previous work has suggested that up to 43% of patients in this group may be misdiagnosed. We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to study the neuropathology of 25 vegetative and minimally conscious patients in vivo and to identify measures that could potentially distinguish the patients in these two groups. Mean diffusivity (MD) maps of the subcortical white matter, brainstem and thalami were generated. The MCS and VS patients differed significantly in subcortical white matter and thalamic regions, but appeared not to differ in the brainstem. Moreover, the DTI results predicted scores on the Coma Recovery Scale (p<0.001) and successfully classified the patients in to their appropriate diagnostic categories with an accuracy of 95%. The results suggest that this method may provide an objective and highly accurate method for classifying these challenging patient populations and may therefore complement the behavioural assessment to inform the diagnostic decision making process.NeuroImage 01/2011; 54(1):103-12.

ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis of disorders of consciousness is challenging. The rate of misdiagnosis is approximately 40%, and new methods are required to complement bedside testing, particularly if the patient's capacity to show behavioral signs of awareness is diminished. At two major referral centers in Cambridge, United Kingdom, and Liege, Belgium, we performed a study involving 54 patients with disorders of consciousness. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess each patient's ability to generate willful, neuroanatomically specific, blood-oxygenation-level-dependent responses during two established mental-imagery tasks. A technique was then developed to determine whether such tasks could be used to communicate yes-or-no answers to simple questions. Of the 54 patients enrolled in the study, 5 were able to willfully modulate their brain activity. In three of these patients, additional bedside testing revealed some sign of awareness, but in the other two patients, no voluntary behavior could be detected by means of clinical assessment. One patient was able to use our technique to answer yes or no to questions during functional MRI; however, it remained impossible to establish any form of communication at the bedside. These results show that a small proportion of patients in a vegetative or minimally conscious state have brain activation reflecting some awareness and cognition. Careful clinical examination will result in reclassification of the state of consciousness in some of these patients. This technique may be useful in establishing basic communication with patients who appear to be unresponsive.New England Journal of Medicine 02/2010; 362(7):579-89.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate whether vegetative state patients maintain circadian rhythms. An observational study of five single cases. Five chronic vegetative state patients underwent clinical and neurological evaluations and 2-week continuous temperature measurements. The two patients with traumatic brain injury showed well-formed circadian temperature rhythms and had more reflexive behaviours and relatively low cortical and sub-cortical atrophy, whereas the three patients from anoxic-hypoxic origin demonstrated no cycles or rhythmic behaviour. The presence of periods of wakefulness does not imply preserved sleep-wake cycling capacity, nor preserved circadian rhythms and it should not be taken as a distinguishing feature for the definition of the vegetative state.Brain Injury 10/2009; 23(11):915-9.

Article: Towards a routine use of brain imaging to aid the clinical diagnosis of disorders of consciousness[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clinical audits have highlighted the many challenges and dilemmas faced by clinicians assessing persons with disorders of consciousness (vegetative state and minimally conscious state). The diagnostic decision-making process is highly subjective, dependent upon the skills of the examiner and invariably dictated by the patients' ability to move or speak. Whilst a considerable amount has been learnt since Jennett and Plum coined the term 'vegetative state', the assessment process remains largely unchanged; conducted at the bedside, using behavioural assessment tools, which are susceptible to environmental and physiological factors. This has created a situation where the rate of misdiagnosis is unacceptably high (up to 43%). In order to address these problems, various functional brain imaging paradigms, which do not rely upon the patient's ability to move or speak, have been proposed as a source of additional information to inform the diagnostic decision making process. Although accumulated evidence from brain imaging, particularly functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), has been encouraging, the empirical evidence is still based on relatively small numbers of patients. It remains unclear whether brain imaging is capable of informing the diagnosis beyond the behavioural assessment and whether brain imaging has any prognostic utility. In this study, we describe the functional brain imaging findings from a group of 41 patients with disorders of consciousness, who undertook a hierarchical speech processing task. We found, contrary to the clinical impression of a specialist team using behavioural assessment tools, that two patients referred to the study with a diagnosis of vegetative state did in fact demonstrate neural correlates of speech comprehension when assessed using functional brain imaging. These fMRI findings were found to have no association with the patient's behavioural presentation at the time of investigation and thus provided additional diagnostic information beyond the traditional clinical assessment. Notably, the utility of brain imaging was further underlined by the finding that the level of auditory processing revealed by functional brain imaging, correlated strongly (rs = 0.81, P < 0.001) with the patient's subsequent behavioural recovery, 6 months after the scan, suggesting that brain imaging may also provide valuable prognostic information. Although further evidence is required before consensus statements can be made regarding the use of brain imaging in clinical decision making for disorders of consciousness, the results from this study clearly highlight the potential of imaging to inform the diagnostic decision-making process for persons with disorders of consciousness.Brain 10/2009; 132(Pt 9):2541-52.

ABSTRACT: Pavlovian trace conditioning depends on the temporal gap between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. It requires, in mammals, functional medial temporal lobe structures and, in humans, explicit knowledge of the temporal contingency. It is therefore considered to be a plausible objective test to assess awareness without relying on explicit reports. We found that individuals with disorders of consciousness (DOCs), despite being unable to report awareness explicitly, were able to learn this procedure. Learning was specific and showed an anticipatory electromyographic response to the aversive conditioning stimulus, which was substantially stronger than to the control stimulus and was augmented as the aversive stimulus approached. The amount of learning correlated with the degree of cortical atrophy and was a good indicator of recovery. None of these effects were observed in control subjects under the effect of anesthesia (propofol). Our results suggest that individuals with DOCs might have partially preserved conscious processing, which cannot be mediated by explicit reports and is not detected by behavioral assessment.Nature Neuroscience 10/2009; 12(10):1343-9.

ABSTRACT: The accurate assessment of patients with impaired consciousness following a brain injury often remains a challenge to the most experienced clinician. A diagnosis of vegetative or minimally conscious state is made on the basis of the patient's clinical history and detailed behavioral examinations, which rely upon the patient being able to move or speak in order to demonstrate residual cognitive function. Recently, the development of noninvasive neuroimaging techniques has fostered a rapid increase in the exploration of residual cognitive abilities in these patient populations. However, while this body of literature is growing rapidly, at present the enterprise remains one of scientific endeavor with no inclusion in standard clinical practice. Correctly administered behavioral testing in survivors of brain injury may provide sufficient information to identify patients who are aware and are able to signal that this is the case via a recognized motor output. However, it remains possible that a subgroup of these patients may retain some level of awareness, but lack the ability to produce any motor output and are therefore mistakenly diagnosed as vegetative. It is in this latter situation that functional neuroimaging may prove to be most valuable, as a unique clinical tool for probing volition and residual cognition without necessarily assuming that the patient is able to produce any motor output.Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 04/2009; 1157:81-9.

ABSTRACT: Unlike other neurological conditions, the heterogeneous pathology linked to disorders of consciousness currently excludes a distinction between the vegetative and minimally conscious states based upon pathological presentation. The clinical assessment is therefore made on the basis of the patient's clinical history and exhibited behaviour. This creates a particular challenge for the clinician who has to decide whether a certain behaviour, which might be inconsistent or incomplete, reflects a conscious or an unconscious process. In an alarmingly high number of cases, identified during clinical audit, this decision process has been shown to be particularly fallible. The behavioural assessment is not only highly subjective, but also dependent upon the ability of the patient to move or speak; it is the only way someone can demonstrate they are aware. To address this problem we propose a multimodal approach, which integrates objective tools, such as electrophysiology and functional brain imaging, with traditional behavioural scales. Together this approach informs the clinical decision process and resolves many of the dilemmas faced by clinicians interpreting solely behavioural indices. This approach not only provides objective information regarding the integrity of residual cognitive function, but also removes the dependency on the patient to move or speak by using specially designed paradigms that do not require a motor output in order to reveal awareness of self or environment. To demonstrate this approach we describe the case of BW, who sustained a traumatic brain injury seven months prior to investigation. BW was admitted to a five-day assessment programme, which implemented our multimodal approach. On behavioural assessment BW demonstrated evidence of orientation and visual pursuit. However, he showed no response to written or verbal command, despite holding command cards and scanning text. Electrophysiology confirmed that he retained a preserved neural axis supporting vision and hearing, and suggested some evidence that he was able to create a basic memory trace. A hierarchical fMRI auditory paradigm suggested he was able to perceive sound and speech, but revealed no evidence of speech comprehension or ability to respond to command. This was corroborated in the visual modality using a hierarchical paradigm demonstrating that he was able to perceive motion, objects and faces, but retained no evidence of being able to respond to command. We briefly review work by other teams advocating the use of brain imaging and electrophysiology and discuss the steps that are now required in order to create an international standard for the assessment of persons with impaired consciousness after brain injury.Progress in brain research 01/2009; 177:231-48.

Article: Maertens de Noordhout A, Disorders of consciousness: further pathophysiological insights using motor cortex transcranial magnetic stimulation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive means of investigating the function, plasticity, and excitability of the human brain. TMS induces a brief intracranial electrical current, which produces action potentials in excitable cells. Stimulation applied over the motor cortex can be used to measure overall excitability of the corticospinal system, somatotopic representation of muscles, and subsequent plastic changes following injury. The facilitation and inhibition characteristics of the cerebral cortex can also be compared using the modulatory effect of a conditioning stimulus preceding a test stimulus. So called paired-pulse protocols have been used in humans and animals to assess GABA (gamma-amino-butyric acid)-ergic function and may have a future role directing therapeutic interventions. Indeed, repetitive magnetic stimulation, where intracranial currents are induced by repetitive stimulation higher than 1 Hz, has been shown to modulate brain responses to sensory and cognitive stimulation. Here, we summarize information gathered using TMS with patients in coma, vegetative state, and minimally conscious state. Although in the early stages of investigation, there is preliminary evidence that TMS represents a promising tool by which to elucidate the pathophysiological sequelae of impaired consciousness and potentially direct future therapeutic interventions. We will discuss the methodology of work conducted to date, as well as debate the general limitations and pitfalls of TMS studies in patients with altered states of consciousness.Progress in brain research 01/2009; 177:191-200.

Article: Executive functions in the absence of behavior: functional imaging of the minimally conscious state[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One of the major challenges in the clinical evaluation of brain injury survivors is to comprehensively assess the level of preserved cognitive function in order to inform diagnostic decisions and suggest appropriate rehabilitation strategies. However, the limited (if any) capacity for producing behavior in some of these patients often limits the extent to which cognitive functions can be explored via standard bedside methods. We present a novel neuroimaging paradigm that allows the assessment of residual executive functions without requiring the patient to produce any behavioral output. In particular, we target processes such as active maintenance of information through time and willful adoption of "mind-sets" that have been proposed to require conscious awareness. Employing an fMRI block design paradigm, healthy volunteers were presented with a series of neutral (i.e., not emotionally salient) words, and alternatively instructed to listen to all the words, or to count the number of times a given target is repeated. Importantly, the perceptual stimulation in the passive listening and the counting tasks was carefully matched. Contrasted with passive listening, the counting task revealed a fronto-parietal network previously associated with target detection and working memory. Remarkably, when tested on this same procedure, a minimally conscious patient presented a highly similar pattern of activation. Furthermore, the activity in these regions appeared highly synchronous to the onset and offset of the counting blocks. Considering the close matching of sensory stimulation across the two tasks, these findings strongly suggest that the patient could willfully adopt differential "mind-sets" as a function of condition, and could actively maintain information across time. Neither cognitive function was apparent when the patient was (behaviorally) tested at the bedside. This paradigm thus exemplifies the potential for fMRI to explore high-level cognitive functions, and awareness, in the absence of any behavioral response.Progress in brain research 01/2009; 177:249-60.

ABSTRACT: Determining conscious processing in unresponsive patients relies on subjective behavioural assessment. Using data from hand electromyography, the authors studied the occurrence of subthreshold muscle activity in response to verbal command, as an objective indicator of awareness in 10 disorders of consciousness patients. One out of eight vegetative state patients and both minimally conscious patients (n = 2) demonstrated an increased electromyography signal specifically linked to command. These findings suggest electromyography could be used to assess awareness objectively in pathologies of consciousness.Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 08/2008; 79(7):826-8.

ABSTRACT: This article is concerned with patients in coma, the vegetative, or minimally conscious states. Studies addressing the issue of assessment and management of these patients are described. These include (a) the development of an assessment tool (Wessex Head Injury Matrix, WHIM); (b) use of the WHIM to assess the effects of posture on arousal, showing that some 75% of patients show more behaviours when assessed while they are in a standing frame than when supine; (c) a comparison of the WHIM with the Glasgow Coma Scale, demonstrating that the WHIM is more sensitive than the GCS for measuring the behavioural repertoire of people in states of reduced consciousness; (d) a discussion of situations when neuro-imaging techniques are required to assess residual functioning; and (e) the long term outcome of one of the first vegetative patients to be scanned with Positron Emission Tomography (PET). We conclude with a discussion about neuropsychology and patients in states of impaired consciousness.05/2008; 9(1):28-35. DOI:10.1375/brim.9.1.28

ABSTRACT: A number of recent studies have demonstrated a role for state-of-the-art neuroimaging methods in the assessment of patients in the vegetative state and other so-called 'disorders of consciousness'. In several cases, functional MRI has been used to show that aspects of speech perception, emotional processing, language comprehension and even conscious awareness might be retained in some patients who behaviourally meet all of the criteria that define the vegetative state. This work has profound implications for clinical care, diagnosis, prognosis and medical-legal decision making (relating to the prolongation, or otherwise, of life after severe brain injury), as well as for more basic scientific questions about the nature of consciousness and the neural representation of our own thoughts and intentions.Nature Reviews Neuroscience 04/2008; 9(3):235-43.

ABSTRACT: The assessment of residual brain function in the vegetative state, is extremely difficult and depends frequently on subjective interpretations of observed spontaneous and volitional behaviors. For those patients who retain peripheral motor function, rigorous behavioral assessment supported by structural imaging and electrophysiology is usually sufficient to establish a patient's level of wakefulness and awareness. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that, in some patients, damage to the peripheral motor system may prevent overt responses to command, even though the cognitive ability to perceive and understand such commands may remain intact. Advances in functional neuroimaging suggest a novel solution to this problem; in several recent cases, so-called "activation" studies have been used to identify residual cognitive function and even conscious awareness in patients who are assumed to be vegetative, yet retain cognitive abilities that have evaded detection using standard clinical methods.Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 02/2008; 1129:130-8.

ABSTRACT: An accurate and reliable evaluation of the level and content of cognitive processing is of paramount importance for the appropriate management of severely brain-damaged patients with disorders of consciousness. 1 Objective behavioral assessment of residual cognitive function can be extremely challenging in these patients, as motor responses may be minimal, inconsistent, and difficult to document, or may be undetectable because no cognitive output is possible. This difficulty leads to much confusion and a high-level of misdiagnoses in the vegetative state (VS), minimally conscious state, and locked-in syndrome. 2,3 Recent advances in functional neuroimaging suggest a novel solution to this problem; so-called ''activation'' studies can be used to assess cognitive functions in altered states of consciousness without the need for any overt response on the part of the patient. In several recent studies, this approach has been used to detect residual cognitive function and even conscious awareness in patients who behaviorally meet the criteria defining the VS. 4-6 Similarly, these techniques have been used in other studies to guide therapeutic interventions and track recovery processes. 7,8 Such studies suggest that the future integration of emerging functional neuroimaging techniques with existing clinical and behavioral methods of assessment will be essential in reducing the current rate of misdiagnosis.

ABSTRACT: We discuss recent developments in the use of neuroimaging and, in particular, functional MRI, in the assessment of patients diagnosed as vegetative state or minimally conscious state. In the last year, there has been a substantial increase in the number of research studies published which have used state-of-the-art neuroimaging methods to assess residual cognitive functioning in patients diagnosed with disorders of consciousness. Work using functional MRI has demonstrated aspects of retained speech processing, emotional processing, comprehension and even conscious awareness in a small number of patients behaviourally meeting the criteria defining the vegetative and minimally conscious states. The assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness relies heavily upon the subjective and consequently fallible interpretation of observed behaviour. Recent studies have demonstrated an important role for functional MRI in the identification of residual cognitive function in these patients. Such studies may be particularly useful when there is concern about the accuracy of the diagnosis and the possibility that residual cognitive function has remained undetected. In our opinion, the future use of functional MRI will substantially increase our understanding of disorders of consciousness following severe brain injury.Current Opinion in Neurology 01/2008; 20(6):632-7.

ABSTRACT: A diagnosis of vegetative state is made if a patient demonstrates no evidence of awareness of self or environment, no evidence of sustained, reproducible, purposeful or voluntary behavioural response to sensory stimuli and critically no evidence of language comprehension. For those patients who retain peripheral motor function, rigorous behavioural assessment is usually able to determine retained function. However, some patients do not retain the ability to respond overtly to command and it is becoming increasingly accepted that assessment of these patients should include techniques, which do not rely on any 'motor action' on the part of the patient. Here, we apply a hierarchical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) auditory processing paradigm to determine the extent of retained language processing in a group of 14 aetiologically heterogeneous patients who met the diagnostic criteria for either the vegetative state (n = 7), the minimally conscious state (n = 5), or who were in a severely disabled condition having emerged from a minimally conscious state (n = 2). Three different levels of speech processing were assessed: (i) Low-level auditory responses were measured using a contrast between a set of auditory stimuli and a silence baseline; (ii) mid-level speech perception processing abilities were assessed by comparing intelligible speech to unintelligible noise stimuli and (iii) high-level semantic aspects of speech processing were assessed by comparing sentences that were made difficult to understand by the presence of words that were semantically ambiguous compared to matched low-ambiguity sentences. As expected the two severely disabled, but conscious patients showed preserved speech processing at all three levels. However, contrary to the diagnostic criteria defining the vegetative state, three patients (1 traumatic, 2 non-traumatic aetiology) demonstrated some evidence of preserved speech processing. The remaining four patients (1 traumatic, 3 non-traumatic aetiology) with a diagnosis of vegetative state showed no significant activation in response to sound compared with silence. These results provide further evidence that a subset of patients fulfilling the behavioural criteria for the vegetative state retain islands of preserved cognitive function.Brain 11/2007; 130(Pt 10):2494-507.

Post Content
MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard A. Davey today unveiled new message boards offering real time traffic information along the Interstate 93 corridor from Canton to the New Hampshire border.
At the same time, MassDOT is also helping Cape Cod travelers by rolling out new traffic resources, including new online cameras showing road conditions on Route 6 Westbound and using message boards to share with drivers the extent of the heavy traffic leaving the Cape on Sundays.
"Just in time for the busy July 4th holiday we are launching a service people have been clamoring for," said Secretary Davey. "Real time traffic data will better allow people to plan their commutes giving them greater control over their day. These initiatives are further examples of the Patrick-Murray Administration's commitment to improving the customer experience through innovation."
The Real Time Traffic Management pilot includes I-93 Northbound and Southbound travel time information via 22 signs. The signs display travel times in segments between various interchanges. For example, drivers passing Pelham Street in Methuen see on average a 14 minute travel time to Route 128 in Woburn. As traffic slows, road sensors send updated travel times every minute to the message boards letting drivers know how long it will be until they reach their destination.
Drivers will also notice these boards on highways approaching I-93. On I-95 Northbound before Neponset Street drivers will see the time it takes to reach the Braintree Split. MassDOT is working to link this real time information for customers via 511 and also in the future make it accessible to third parties through its open data initiative.
This week, MassDOT is also bringing online seven additional cameras for residents and visitors interested in road conditions on Cape Cod at mass.gov/massdot (cameras 224 to 230). The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority is now hosting two new cameras on its website: capecodtransit.org. Six message boards are also being deployed to communicate road conditions. (A list of camera and message board locations is attached.) Plans to provide even further resources for Cape Cod travelers are in progress. Beyond I-93 and Route 6, MassDOT is next hoping to bring this statewide real time traffic initiative to Western Massachusetts along I-91.
As always, drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and drive safely during upcoming July 4th holiday. Before you drive, check the interactive Traffic Cameras web page for live looks at current traffic.
Drivers may sign up for the 511 traveler information service to receive alerts via email, text or telephone by dialing 511 or logging onto www.mass.gov/511 to register and receive personalized updates. MassDOT reminds drivers to avoid using cell phones while driving and to call into the 511 service before they leave.
Drivers are reminded of the Massachusetts Safe Driving law and to travel safely and avoid distracted driving.
MassDOT will suspend highway construction projects on major roadways across the state from Noon on Tuesday, July 3 through normal start of business on Thursday, July 5.
I-90 toll plazas will be fully staffed during the holiday to help reduce congestion.
Free coffee will be served at the 18 MassDOT service plazas from 10 p.m. Wednesday, July 4, through 5 a.m. Thursday morning, July 5. The plazas serving free coffee include 11 service plazas along I-90 plus plazas along Route 3 in Plymouth, Route 128 in Beverly, Route 128/I-95 in Newton and Lexington, Route 6 in Barnstable, and the Route 24 northbound and southbound plazas.

Top Orthopedic Surgeons in Florida
Looking for an Orthopedic surgeon that you can trust is a daunting task.

Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL; Malay: Universiti Infrastruktur Kuala Lumpur), formerly known as Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure University College (KLIUC) is the first infrastructure university in Malaysia, which emphasises the integration of both hard and soft aspects of infrastructure, aspire to produce technopreneurs and skilled manpower with outstanding communication, technological and managerial skills. The university was established in 1998 following the privatisation of the Research and Training Institute of Public Works Department of Malaysia (IKRAM).
The university is a subsidiary of Protasco Berhad, a company listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. The President and Vice-Chancellor of IUKL is Professor Dr. Ir. Roslan Zainal Abidin.
For Knowledge, For Humanity.
To be a world renowned Infrastructure University.
IUKL strives for excellence in various fields of infrastructure by providing quality education, advanced knowledge, state-of-the-art technology and excellent professional services.
The initiation of IUKL began in 1997 when the Research and Training Institute of the Public Works Department, Malaysia (IKRAM) was privatised in and became known as Kumpulan Ikram Sdn Bhd (KISB). KISB inherited Ikram Park and IKRAM's distinctive features and strengths. Ikram College was established in the following year and made the focus of KISB's tertiary education activities to nurture the leaders of tomorrow. The opening of Ikram College was officiated by the Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad in 1999. By year 2001, Ikram College had its name changed to Ikram College of Technology (iCT) to further strengthen its niche in the provision of technology and infrastructure based programmes. iCT was upgraded to a University College status with a new name; Kuala Lumpur Infrastructure University College (KLIUC) in 2003 with the Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, officiated its opening. On February 2012, IKRAM Education Sdn. Bhd. was invited by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education to apply for the establishment of a private university to be known as the Infrastructure University of Kuala Lumpur. KLIUC was upgraded to a full-fledged University in 2013 and officially known as the Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL) today.
IUKL's 100-acre (0.40 km2) campus is nestled in the vicinity of Kajang and Serdang, which is located between the capital Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, the administrative city of Malaysia. It is within a 35-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur city centre, 40-minutes from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and 20-minutes away from Cyberjaya, the country's intelligent city. The campus is accessible via the North-South Highway (or Seremban Highway). Students can also make their way to IUKL via KTM Komuter intercity train service to Serdang Station and LRT to Sungai Besi Station, then get on to IUKL feeder bus service.

Welcome to the Free Software/Open Source focus issue of LinuxWorld Magazine! In this issue our goal is to give you a perspective and understanding of the amazing reach and accomplishments of what is becoming known as the Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) social movement.
Many people who are learning about Linux get concerned when they hear that volunteers who aren't paid for their efforts are the ones developing it. In fact, this stereotype is no longer true. A great deal of current work on FLOSS applications (including Linux) is actually done by employees at major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Computer Associates, and SGI. These companies see it as a cost-effective way to provide applications that are much better than they could build internally on their own as well as a great way to sell more hardware, software, and services to their customers.
Plus, by having employees that are on the development teams for these applications, it allows them a place at the table during the discussions regarding the future directions of the applications. In other words, if IBM developers are contributing to the next generation of Linux, then those developers become members of the team that helps determine what Linux will become.
For more on how and why this development model works, I'd recommend getting a copy of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, by Eric Raymond. In it, Eric provides a simple but effective description of the dynamics behind why this development model works so well.
This issue was originally conceived as a tribute to the 20th anniversary of the founding of the GNU Project by Richard Stallman. Richard was (and still is) motivated by an intense desire for software to be "Free, as in Freedom." The primary issue for Richard is liberty - not price. Richard is a passionate individual whose impact on the landscape of the software industry goes far beyond what most people realize. Among other things, Richard was the original author of both the Emacs editor and the GNU General Public License (or GPL). The GPL is the software license that ensures Linux must remain free software. We were very fortunate to get an interview with Richard for this issue in which he discusses a broad range of topics on the history and future of free software.
We were also extremely fortunate to interview two other people for this issue who have both had a major impact on the FLOSS movement. The first is Tim O'Reilly, who most people know as the founder of O'Reilly & Associates - the computer book publisher with the cool animals on all their book covers. It is arguable that O'Reilly's dedication to publishing books on FLOSS applications such as Linux and Perl is one of the primary reasons that this movement grew out of its infancy. Tim spoke to us about the history of this movement (in which he was a participant in many important events) as well as its future. Tim likes to use the quote, "The future is already here; it's just not evenly distributed" - this interview gives us glimpses into Tim's ideas on how this movement has impacted society and business today as well as what changes it may make possible in the future.
The other interview in this issue is with Eben Moglen, professor of law and legal history at Columbia Law School. Professor Moglen has been general counsel for the Free Software Foundation (which Richard Stallman founded) for many years. As such, Professor Moglen has been deeply involved in many legal aspects related to free software and Linux over the years. In this interview he discusses his opinions on the SCO case as well on the history and future of free software.
We are also proud to showcase a number of other important FLOSS applications and technologies in order to show the breadth and impact they are having across the entire software industry. A great example of this is the article on graphics technologies written by Simon Hayhurst from SGI. SGI is pioneering some serious next-generation graphics applications that are driven by high-end clustered Linux servers. Simon does a great job of showing what an important role FLOSS applications are playing in this ground-breaking work.
LinuxWorld Magazine's own MC Brown (author of over 10 books on Perl, PHP, Python, and other Linux-related topics) also came in this month with a great article summarizing a recent study analyzing the readiness of MySQL for critical, production applications. I think the results here will surprise you.
We hope you'll enjoy and get a lot of value from this issue. We sure had a lot of fun piecing it together. And, as always, thanks for reading!

With six to eight other teams interested in acquiring right-hander Ryan Dempster, a source told ESPNChicago.com the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to work toward landing the veteran Chicago Cubs pitcher, who started Friday night in a 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Dodgers have given the Cubs a list of names to consider in a Dempster trade, according to a source.
The Boston Red Sox also have made an offer for Dempster, according to another source, but it is unclear if he is open to switching leagues. He has spent his entire 13-year career in the National League.
Other interested clubs continue to believe the Dodgers are the favorite to land Dempster, a source told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.
But Dempster, who has 10-5 rights, meaning he can veto any proposed trade, is open to any scenario the Cubs present him, according to a source. There is an open relationship between Dempster, president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer that should make a deal easier to complete.
The Nationals are pursuing "four or five" veteran starters, including Dempster, but appear to be having trouble matching up with the Cubs on the pitcher and would need to "get creative" to complete a deal for him, a source told Stark.
The Cardinals have checked in on a number of pitchers, both starters and relievers, a source told Stark, but a deal between the Cubs and Cardinals would seem to be a long shot. Those two teams have made just two trades in the past 30 years -- a waiver deal 10 years ago that sent Jeff Fassero to the Cardinals and a 1995 trade that sent Todd Zeile to the Cubs.
The Braves also have talked about Dempster but would prefer a pitcher who would re-sign next season, a source told Stark. Most teams expect Dempster to return to the Cubs as a free agent after this season.
Dempster's 33-inning
scoreless streak ended against the Cardinals in the first inning, when he allowed three runs.
The Cardinals hit four straight singles in a span of six pitches with one out against the right-hander, who entered Friday night's game leading the major leagues with a 1.86 ERA. Carlos Beltran and Yadier Molina each had an RBI single and Lance Berkman drove in a run with a groundout.
Dempster's streak was the majors' longest since the Phillies' Cliff Lee had a 34-inning run last year. It was the Cubs' longest since Ken Holtzman also had a 33-inning streak in 1969.
ESPN.com senior writer Jayson Stark and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — The proverbial underdog label doesn't begin to describe the role Texas Tech will assume when it faces No. 6 Kansas in a nationally televised game at 6 p.m. today.
The Jayhawks, having rebounded convincingly from a three-game losing streak in early February, are once again sitting on the doorstep of a Big 12 Conference championship. Two more wins would give Kansas at least a share of its ninth straight league title.
Kravic shakes off slump with career game
It was clear from the start Saturday that this would be a different kind of game for Dejan Kravic. Texas Tech's 6-foot-11 had two buckets before Saturday's game against TCU — won by the Red Raiders, 72-63 — was 90 seconds old.
He would go on to record his first career double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds, helping Tech to a dominate inside effort.
Texas Tech had no interest in seeing its losing streak reach double digits.
So the Red Raiders avoided a 10-game skid through sheer force of will.
Jordan Tolbert and Dejan Kravic combined to record 38 points and 17 rebounds, and Tech completed a season sweep of TCU with a 72-63 win Saturday inside United Spirit Arena.
"Once you get a couple baskets in, you just build confidence and keep going," Kravic said.
Talk of must-win games in March is usually reserved for teams on the NCAA Tournament bubble in need of victories to keep their Big Dance hopes alive, or for those chasing conference-title dreams.
But sometimes there are games that can be considered crucial even for squads that won't sniff the postseason.
Texas Tech will face one of those contests at 3 p.m. today when it hosts TCU inside United Spirit Arena.
And then there were three.
With apologies to Iowa State and Oklahoma, perhaps still clinging to hopes of a miracle, the race for the Big 12 Conference title has come down to a trio of contenders: Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
The Jayhawks and Wildcats, currently atop the league at 12-3, have three games left. The Cowboys (10-4) have four to play.
It doesn't get much closer than that.
Some argue the conference is down this year. But it would be a much harder case to make that the excitement level is, too.
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Dusty Hannahs tipped the Kansas State inbounds pass away from Will Spradling and into the backcourt.
Texas Tech guard Daylen Robinson made a beeline for the loose ball and Jaye Crockett sprinted toward the basket, freeing himself into position for a sure basket that would have put Tech up by four points with 14 minutes to go Monday night and put the No. 13 Wildcats, one of the teams atop the Big 12 Conference standings, on their heels.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It took just moments for it to all unravel for Texas Tech.
That's how it has gone for these Red Raiders. There are stretches — 18 minutes here, 24 or even 30 minutes there — Tech looks capable of at least competing by grinding the clock, slowing the game down.
"They try to junk it up," as Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim put it.
Rebounding woes continue
AMES, Iowa — For the third time in as many games, Texas Tech on Saturday finished with at least 10 fewer rebounds than its opponent.
In its 86-66 loss at the hands of Iowa State, Tech was beat on the boards, 43-31.
It was a far cry from the first matchup between the two teams last month in Lubbock, when Tech had a 38-29 edge on the glass and limited the Cyclones to just three offensive rebounds.
AMES, Iowa — There would be no upset this time around.
Exactly one month after stunning Iowa State in Lubbock, the Red Raiders couldn't find nearly the same formula in an 86-66 loss to the Cyclones inside rowdy Hilton Coliseum.
Tech (9-16, 2-12 in Big 12), which dropped its eighth game in a row, knew it would have to be near perfect to repeat the feat on the road against Iowa State.
The Red Raiders were anything but.
