I hate these nights. Stare at the ceiling, turn left. Turn right. Can't sleep. Dread tomorrow's assignment, as usual. In the morning adrenaline will pull me through, as it always does. Tonight worry is getting the better of me, as it always does.
The aircon is noisy, and the thick hotel drapes (of cheesy pseudo-velvet) block out the spotlights on the catty-corner mosque nearby and the lights from across the river. The drapes are meant to catch any flying glass, should a rocket hit the side of the building. But that's only ever happened once, so in my mind that's not the problem. The problem is the next day's patrol.
I'm "safe" here. I've transformed the 12- by 15-foot room into a cocoon fortress—a yoga sanctuary in this half-star hotel floor turned network bureau. I live here about two-thirds of the year. Over three years my personal possessions have migrated to join me. The place is like the Big Brother house crossed with a rusting, peeling, leaking Soviet-era submarine, where the carpet sticks to your feet. We've sealed the corridor with steel doors and installed cameras to eyeball would-be visitors.
A ragtag crew of CBS and Iraqi hotel guards protects us (when they bother to stay awake). Our foreign security advisors try to sneak downstairs at odd times of the night to ensure the perimeter guards are awake. They have to make it past the slumbering upstairs guards; otherwise the game is up—the Iraqis upstairs furiously dial their cell phones and wake up all their colleagues at the hotel gates below.
Sleep, damn you.
Tossing and turning is a personal tradition I despise. It happens when I do embeds. I will spend tomorrow morning with a U.S. Army patrol. My two-man crew—my colleagues and friends, cameraman Paul and soundman James—will film the U.S. Army patrol, and I'll trail them. The truth is, after three years as a late-comer network reporter, I'm still a newbie to the two of them—someone they put up with between assignments with "the boys," such as news legend Dan Rather, with whom they've worked for years.
For this shift, they're stuck with me: a workaholic news nerd. They've watched me climb my way from radio to affiliate to network TV. No matter what I think I am, to them I'm the former wannabe who is still trying too hard.
I'm also the only reporter I know who has a family with a U.S. military background. My father was a Marine in World War II, surviving the campaigns of Guam and Iwo Jima.
That's probably why I went on assignment with the military a lot, which didn't always make me popular. Sometimes crews said no to my ideas.
But to those of us involved right now, tomorrow's assignment makes perfect sense: There is no other place to be on Memorial Day in Iraq than with U.S. troops.
The three of us had done our preshoot security briefing this evening, not that I could provide much detail. The military press officer who had set up the embed couldn't tell our producers much over the phone, except that the patrol would take place in central Baghdad (so we could get back in time for the 7 a.m. eastern time live shot on The CBS Early Show, which airs at 3 p.m. local time). You can't say much over the phone because the insurgents are thought to be monitoring the phone lines.
We don't know exactly where we are going or what we'll see, but the story has something to do with U.S. troops training Iraqis. Since tomorrow is a patriotic day, I suspect the story will be along the lines of "As they stand up, we stand down"—the mantra of the U.S. commanders.
My crew and I suspect this will also be what we call a "dog and pony show," something so sanitized for our cameras that it will be hard to get anything more than an Uncle-Sam-knows-best commercial out of the troops.
But we know that whatever we film will air on the morning show and almost certainly on the CBS Evening News. You can't NOT make air on a patriotic American holiday when you spend the day with U.S. troops.
And Paul always said, "Don't risk my life unless we're going to make air."
God, what a horrific way I kept that promise.
I also became aware of the countless other souvenirs left behind, lodged in my body. In my right hand and arms, I could see red and black flecks of shrapnel floating under the skin. In my X-rays you could actually see some marble-size chunks of molten car metal floating in my hip, a couple in my leg. There was even a small speck on the bridge of my nose and a couple tracing the outline of my right jaw.
In Landstuhl, I wanted it out—all of it, immediately. The doctors explained that unless it was a large piece or located in a spot where it could do damage, most of it would stay right where it was. They told me it actually did more damage to dig around the soft tissues to remove it.
Nancy brought in some of the chunks the doctors had removed from my leg. She had them gathered in large plastic bags and specimen cups. The first—a flat piece of metal, twisted by the heat of the blast, which spilled over the sides of my hand—was recognizable as some sort of car part. It had been embedded in my right leg.
A second piece was a completely intact metal wheel weight from one of the tires, about the size of the top of a finger. I never even noticed that part on a car before. Every time I spot a wheel weight on a car now, I think of the one that was lodged somewhere in my thigh.
What Nancy didn't explain then was just how close I'd come to losing my right leg. I didn't learn that until months later when I revisited Landstuhl with Nancy to film for the CBS News program on the bombing, Flashpoint. She said in the first 24 hours, my right leg turned nearly black. As I mentioned earlier, doctors in Baghdad had relieved the pressure in my lower right leg with the fasciotomy, when they'd sliced open the skin from knee to ankle down to the muscle in 2-foot-long cuts on either side of my calf.
But the blood circulation was still far from normal. The black color could mean my leg was bruised and still struggling to flush out the bad blood from so much damage. Or it could mean my circulation system had been irretrievably destroyed, so there was no way to oxygenate the leg's muscle tissues, tissues that might already be dying.
My doctors were faced with a stark choice: They could gamble and hope what they were seeing was temporary bruising. But if the tissues were actually dying, that meant the doctors were giving the bacteria breeding in the dead tissue a chance to course through the rest of my body and kill me.
Many doctors new to the field will take the more conservative course of action. They'll amputate the limb and save the patient. But my surgeons had been deployed in a war zone for about two-thirds of their yearlong tour, some of them for more than that. They'd gambled before and won. Nancy explained that after some debate, they took a chance with me, putting heating pads on my legs, changing them frequently, to help stimulate the circulation.
After about 36 hours, the gamble paid off. By the time I was awake enough to be aware of my legs and what had happened, the risk of amputation had mostly already passed.
It remained a possibility the doctors wouldn't openly share with me, though. The jagged, burning chunks of shrapnel had done major damage to my quadriceps, the four major muscles that power my upper leg. So many muscles were shredded that by the time the dead tissue was painstakingly removed from the living, my broken femur bone was exposed. In later surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital, the remaining muscle had to be rearranged to cover it. And then doctors could only hope the grafts they put on the massive burn, a foot and a half by 8 inches, would take. If they couldn't cover the femur again, they'd have to consider taking the leg off. (They opted not to tell me about that possibility until after the surgery had been carried out and had worked.)
In order for my muscles to heal and for those later grafts to take, the surgeons at Landstuhl knew they had to clean the area of the damaged flesh, dirt, and bacteria that the blast had blown in. Otherwise the area would contaminate any future grafts and slow or stop healing.
So, according to my mom, every day at Landstuhl, surgeons would powerwash the dirt and dead, burned tissue from my legs. Picture strapping a patient to the operating table and turning a fire hose on her at full blast. It was Nancy's bandage change on overdrive. These "washouts" were so painful they had to be done under full anesthesia and each one counted as surgery. By the time I was discharged from the last hospital weeks later, the surgeons had lost count of how many procedures I'd undergone. The guesstimate was "at least two dozen." Detailed records hadn't been kept at the Baghdad or Balad trauma hospitals. The doctors fixed me and moved me on.
With the dozen or so surgeries to close me up now over and all the progress I was making, you might think I'd feel a huge sense of relief: The danger was past, I was out of the woods, except for the healing and recovery.
Instead whenever I wasn't doing physiotherapy, I was ambushed by all the other things I'd been able to silence until then or at least muffle in my psyche.
Now I had nothing but time to think about the bombing, Paul and James, and their families. Images of them repeatedly hit me, and each time my mind said no. I didn't see their bodies at the bomb scene. I hadn't seen their funerals. For me they remained frozen in time, doing a Memorial Day shoot.
And I saw every memory through the fisheye of narcotics, intensely magnified and leavened by the multiple nerve depressants that were meant to control my physical pain. From hour to hour my emotions roller-coastered, mostly crashing down.
Mornings were the worst, when physical and emotional pain would one-two me the moment I opened my eyes. They hammered me my third and fourth weeks at Bethesda Naval Hospital. I never slept much, and the nurses and doctors interrupted my sleep periodically from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. or so as they did their morning rounds. After their rounds I'd try to catch another hour of sleep before breakfast arrived and I stirred. I'd realize that opening my eyes meant facing the day, so I'd try to shut them and will myself back into unconsciousness.
Finally I would be forced to rise, blinking, looking around at the IVs, the tubes, and the bandages. Reality would hit, and I'd start sobbing.
The nurses and corpsmen were unfazed by my tears. I was just one of many on that hallway who had lost someone. The women corpsmen, especially, told me it was tough sometimes to walk into a room of a strapping, tattooed 6-foot Marine who was bawling his eyes out because he just woke up from a nightmare about his buddies. "You never know what to say," one told me. "When someone who looks that tough and that strong is sobbing like a baby, it breaks your heart."
Or the corpsmen would find a soldier propped up in bed with tears rolling down his face because he'd opened his eyes in the morning and locked on the stump where an arm or a leg used to be. So the corpsmen would walk into my room with my morning meds, catch sight of my tear-streaked face, and ask, "Anything I can do?"
I'd usually mutely shake my head, and they'd nod, walk out, and leave me be.
When the hearing specialist stopped by to assess the damage to my shattered eardrums, she got as far as "I'm the hearing specialist, and I . . . " Midsentence she saw my red-puffed face and stopped halfway to my bed. "And I won't be doing your hearing test today," she said with a small, sad smile. She neatly turned and walked out.
. . .
"So my heart stopped twice?" I asked Pete.
"Who told you that?" he asked too quietly. I'm glad Schieffer had left the building by then. Kiwis aren't diplomats. They bluntly say what's on their mind, and Pete would have done just that.
That's when I realized my own family was keeping details from me. They'd been told I wasn't capable of handling it, and they believed it.
So I was on my own, holding the line against the medicate-it, make-it-go-away therapy when a team of visiting psychiatrists came to my room to offer me drug therapy. They wanted to discuss my options regarding which drugs might help and why. I was already on an old-fashioned upper, amitriptyline, but not for mood treatment. Dr. Burns had explained that I was receiving a small dose but not enough to have a mood-lifting effect. He said the drug had a secondary benefit: alleviating nerve or neurologic pain throughout the body that comes from the breaks, the burns, the grafts, etc. But I thought even the little I was getting was enough. I didn't want anything else added to the chemical soup in my system.
"No psychotropic drugs, no antidepressants," I said. "No Prozac Nation nonsense. All it does is hide the pain, not treat it. That's not for me."
"But, but," was their reply. "You should be aware of the options . . ."
I was resolute.
"I want to talk about how I'm feeling, why I feel like bawling my eyes out, how freaked out I am by how my body's been shredded, how I feel about losing my friends," I told them. "I don't want to cover it up."
I asked them if I could talk to a counselor or join an injured troops support group, where everyone in the room would understand because we'd all gone through the same thing. The psychiatrists didn't reply. Maybe they thought I was avoiding the issue by avoiding drugs. Or perhaps there are no such support groups. Or maybe there are, but they thought an outsider, especially a reporter, would make it even harder for injured troops to open up.
"Well," one of them began. "You might want to consider antidepressants for a short time."
"No," I said, and I meant it. Now I was going to have to explain. I told them I'd learned that talk therapy worked for me, helping me cope after being beaten, menaced, and threatened both as a child and an adult in the Mideast. Then it helped me figure out my divorce and ultimately gave me the coping skills to survive the ever-present tension of living in Baghdad's Red Zone for three years, without developing posttraumatic stress disorder.
"Ah, our patients don't usually come in with that kind of background, nor those types of coping skills," one of the delegation said. They might not have believed I was making the best decision by rejecting their expertise, but they respected my choice.
Thankfully, two visitors appeared who were of like mind regarding talk therapy. First was Brother David, a Franciscan monk who stopped by in full brown-robed wool regalia and a painstakingly trimmed white beard. I always felt bad when he had to put the disposable surgical gown and gloves over his already hot outfit to visit my often-sweltering room. I wasn't Catholic, and it didn't matter. Brother David had worked with 9/11 victims, and in a former life as a fire chaplain, he'd seen plenty of loss and grief. He'd already guided many others through what I was dealing with. He told me about the people he'd met and how they'd managed. He told me about some of the other troops on my hallway and how they were coping and not coping.
Most of all, he reminded me in the gentlest way possible that "God has a purpose, and you're part of it. You know that." He handed me a Franciscan prayer that basically said: This will pass. And with faith, you'll get through it.
When I doubted my ability to turn this experience into something more positive, he said, "After all these weeks of talking with you, there's one thing I know: You have a great internal compass. Listen to it."
And he told me to write as soon as I could. I wasn't ready to step back and absorb the whole story yet, so I started with smaller bites. I answered the 1,500-plus emails, which had piled up since Memorial Day, from friends and hundreds of people I'd never met, except through being on TV.
Since I've written the book, much has changed. I did not go back to the Mideast for CBS News. The CBS-approved op-ed below, first published in The Washington Post, explains why. The op-ed led to a fantastic new job covering intelligence and counterterrorism for the Associated Press. I've been back to Afghanistan and Pakistan to report since then, including embedding with U.S. and Afghan forces.
My mother passed away in 2008; my dad is still with us. Pete returned to New Zealand to be with his kids, and our lives took different directions. Our friendship will always remain, cemented by the time he helped pull me through hell.
I not only walk without a limp; I run. I try to pay it forward, which is why my profits from this paperback will go to wounded warrior charities, like those that helped my family in our time of need. I try to keep putting my head down, and pushing through, to be a positive example for others coping with the same thing. There are flashes of anger in the original book that will produce knowing nods from other patients. I left them in, though now the anger is gone, and I'm on to the next chapter in my life.
One thing I know I'm not: a victim. That's what anyone is called when he or she suffers major trauma: assault victim, car crash victim, Baghdad car bomb victim. But "victims" have no independence. Family, friends, and colleagues, all with good will, coddle you. They tend to you when you first need it, but they don't know how or when to let you out of your cotton-cushioned cocoon.
What I found is that, it is harder to prove you're not a victim than it is to recover. Thanks in part to the media coverage meant to help troops, I fear we've taught the U.S. public to pity more than respect those who return from war zones.
You have to teach those around you that when the "victim" overcomes the trauma—learning from it, changing from it, and moving beyond it—she becomes a survivor, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I survived. This book I wrote is a survivor's tale, like so many who have come back — and we keep writing it.

Last month, I finally made it back to Baghdad. I'd left on May 29, 2006, unconscious on a stretcher after my CBS News team and the 4th Infantry Division patrol we'd been covering walked into the path of a 300- to 500-pound car bomb.
The wall of shrapnel that tore through us took the lives of my colleagues, cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan; the officer we'd been following, Army Capt. James Funkhouser; and his Iraqi translator, known as Sam. The explosion badly injured four other soldiers on the patrol.
It took many months of physical therapy and rehabilitation to get me walking and running again. It took painful hours of reliving the attack to begin moving beyond the trauma of that day. What I could not know then was how much work it would take to get back to the job I loved, as a foreign correspondent, if only for a few short days.
My chance came when Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, invited me to join him and other journalists on his annual USO trip last month — including eight days of nonstop meetings and briefings with commanders in Afghanistan, Pakistan and, finally, Iraq. For someone who hadn't been in the field in almost four years, it was like breathing again.
I'd asked to go back several times before, but my employer had been loath to put me in harm's way again on the network's behalf. So with CBS's permission, I took the opportunity the admiral offered to go as a private citizen.
While my employer was keenly aware of the public response to me and my injury, it took me years to perceive and then understand what that response meant to my future. It's common to other people injured in combat and, to a lesser extent, those who have served in war zones: Once you've been hurt, people become protective and think you should stay where it's safe. I still get letters and e-mails admonishing me never to go back.
This return trip to Baghdad was a bittersweet glimpse of what used to be, but also a chance to show people that it is possible to heal from the level of injury that I sustained and resume doing whatever you used to do, wherever you used to do it.
I've tried to send that message in other ways. I wrote a book about the bombing and my recovery, and I regularly speak to groups large and small, military and civilian. I've even run a couple of 10Ks, partly to raise money for Fisher House, where my family stayed during much of my hospitalization. And partly I ran, like many of those who've been injured, just to show that I can.
That's where my experience dovetails with that of many of the wounded warriors I've met. After proving to yourself that you're whole, whatever your new definition of "whole" might be, you then have to prove it to your loved ones. And you find, if you tell people that you want to go back to doing what you did before, that their reaction isn't always one you want to hear.
In 2008, a year after I came back to work, I told a New York tabloid that I looked forward to returning to the field, including Iraq. I'd lived overseas covering crises for 14 years. My home was in Jerusalem. I would not be driven away from my life's work by an al-Qaeda splinter group's car bomb.
"Bomb girl wants back to Iraq," screamed the next day's headline. It wasn't meant as an atta-girl compliment. The subtext of the article was clear — this woman is touched in the head. How dare she consider risking her life again?
And then there was the companion question: What might happen if she does go back? Even close colleagues ventured that seeing Iraq again would trigger some sort of emotional tsunami.
But it's not as if the trauma was locked away somewhere, to be released only when I set foot again in the country where I was hurt. I never locked it away.
The emotional weight of losing Paul and James had been with me for years — from the moment I opened my eyes in Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Their picture is on my office wall, and every week or so, I'll run into someone who knew them, or I'll see a story from a country or city we once covered together, in Europe or the Middle East.
When a tube was still down my throat, keeping me from speaking, I poured out everything I could remember from the bomb's aftermath, scrawling it on a pad of paper with a marking pen. And I kept writing, "Where are Paul and James?" I had to be told that they had died at the scene.
In that first month, I had post-traumatic stress, with my brain processing the trauma through nightmares, flashbacks, hypervigilance and roller-coaster emotions. But I never developed PTSD — post-traumatic stress disorder — which is diagnosed when those symptoms become coping mechanisms that stay with you. The more I talked about every detail I could remember, the more the symptoms faded, never taking hold in my psyche.
Yet many people assume I have PTSD, and they assumed going back to Baghdad would make it worse. Few people seem to be aware of post-traumatic growth, which is the far more common response from people who have been in the field. It's the idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, especially when it makes you go back over every aspect of the experience in order to move on from it.
I'd had ample opportunity to keep "processing" the experience, by meeting just about everyone I could find, or who could find me, who was there that day, and giving hundreds of speeches and interviews about the bombing and my recovery.
Reliving every part of the attack and grieving for my colleagues was the hardest part of my healing — not traveling down the airport road in Baghdad again last month and thinking about how it still might be mined with improvised explosives and car bombs. In the previous 3 1/2 years I had gone over far more dangerous emotional territory — like trying to apologize to Paul's widow for surviving, saying the wrong things and only making her more upset.
I also met Capt. Funkhouser's widow, Jennifer, who I knew had felt fury toward me for a time. She knew that her husband was chosen for that patrol because he was an articulate spokesman for the U.S. Army's efforts to train the Iraqi police. If I hadn't asked for a Memorial Day interview, perhaps he would still be alive. I walked into her house with fear. Instead, I found the grace of a woman who had decided that, if she was angry that her husband had been on that patrol that day, she was dishonoring his memory and his mission.
As tough as that meeting was, tougher still was meeting James's 16-year-old daughter a couple of months ago when she visited D.C. from London. I'd never met Paul's and James's families in person before. I had offered to through friends, but this was the first time anyone from James's family agreed.
I didn't know what to say. After blurting out surely inappropriate things, I asked her what would most help her to hear. She asked me to walk her through the bombing, detail by detail. I'd been there, and she'd had no one to ask until then.
I told the story of the day of the patrol. When I got to the part where the bomb goes off, I spoke of my anger that James — one of the smartest people I had ever known — hadn't had any warning before it hit him, killing him instantly. His daughter's face crinkled up, and her eyes filled with tears for a moment. I thought maybe I'd said too much. But she breathed out and wiped the tears from her face. "I thought the same thing," she said. "I was so angry. And then I decided it was better because he felt no pain." There aren't too many people to whom either of us could have said those things.
She told me her dad would have wanted her to turn this loss into something positive. So she's planning to come to the United States to study journalism or diplomacy, or some related field, so she can speak up for those who can't, just like her father used to.
She also related what she thinks her dad would have told me: to stop feeling guilty that I'm still here and that he and Paul are not. Her father died doing what he loved. She wrote that in an e-mail that I must have stared at for hours.
These journeys were behind me before I stepped on that C-17 headed for Baghdad. And therefore, so was much of the pain.
The trip became, instead, a small measure of redemption — a chance to be immersed in the action again, following the chairman and his staff as they sized up life-and-death decisions made, and those yet to be made.
I reveled in my front-row seat, again getting to witness a slice of history. I tried to come up with a way to describe the sense of purpose that gives, the same I'd experienced while working with Paul and James, shooting a story despite all the complications of a war zone.
It was a veteran friend of mine, an Army intelligence officer injured in Afghanistan, who found the words for me. She said she too wanted to go back, and that doesn't make her crazy. "We do what we do because it is who we are and we understand it," she said. "No one really understands why a soldier wants to deploy again after being injured . . . except us." She did me the honor of including me in that "us."
By the time I got to Baghdad, the most painful issue left to be examined had nothing to do with my injuries. It was this: why many people can't accept that I want to return to what I used to do, and why I, like so many survivors of combat injuries, often trigger a reaction of pity tinged with wariness, instead of respect. That's a slog I'm still on, together with some amazing survivors, both military and civilian, trying to get back to doing what we love.
This one short trip gave me hope that it can be done. When I met some of my tribe along the way — be they officers, diplomats, aid workers or journalists — their greetings were everything I'd hoped to hear: "It's about time. Welcome back."

Restaurant Food – Latest Trends and Craze
People were expected to prefer local produce, organic food, bite sized desserts, healthy kid's meals, kid's vegetable/fruit side dishes, super fruits and sustainable seafood among their top ten choices. Buying local produce is not only environmentally friendly but also supports a local farmer. Local produce will be fresh and tastier. Environmental concerns are linked to the preference for organic food. Besides, many people would want to stay safe from insecticides and harmful chemicals. Bite sized desserts have been popular over the last few years. Mini indulgences are healthy in comparison to huge chocolate brownie sundaes. For kids, whole grains and vegetables in place of just mac and cheese and chicken nuggets are healthier and the trend seems to be popular with parents and children. More acai and mangosteen was the predictable trend replacing pomegranate. "Small plates" was an emerging trend as everyone complained that servings at the restaurants are too big. Environmentally concerned people are cautious with farmed seafood, mercury contamination and PCBs. Eating wild is a preferable but pricy option that was the predicted trend last year, but there is the likelihood of sustainable seafood gaining popularity in future.
Among the top trends predicted for 2010, buying locally was suggested more important than the organic trend for their competitive and cost advantage among other advantages. Since the restaurants came under severe pressure of recession, the predicted trends of restaurants focused more on cost saving techniques. Niche signature dishes as against the generic menu are more likely the current trend.
It is not difficult to infer that while healthier and environmentally sustainable food is gaining popularity, the restaurant owners are doing a business. So, they would juggle quality and price to arrive at the best combination that is profitable to them.

Angelika Plate comments ISO/IEC 27001:2013
As a provider in the field of information and
communications technology, we want to offer a high quality
and security of the local data center to our customers.
Therefore, we will also actively use the
Data Center Certificate in our marketing.
Dr. Manfred Litzlbauer,General Manager, Energie AG
In Europe and, above all, also in German speaking countries, the demand for the certification of data centers is increasing. Both the trend towards IT outsourcing and cloud computing make it necessary that the quality, efficiency, performance and security of a data center can be evidenced by a certificate issued by an independent certification body. Nowadays winning and maintaining the customers' confidence have top priority.
In the American region, the topic of "data center certification" has been topical since 2005. At this moment, ANSI/TIA 942 (American National Standards Institute / Telecommunications Industry Association) was published. The "Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers" is an American Standard defining the minimum requirements an ICT infrastructure places on powerful and secure data centers. Up to the planned publication of the European Data Centre Standard EN 50600,
the accredited Certification Body CIS will conduct all required Data Center Certifications acc. to ANSI/TIA-942-A-2012, the American "special features" being interpreted correspondingly. As soon as EN 50600 is fully available, existing "Data Center Certificates", which have been issued by CIS, will be updated acc. to EN 50600 in the course of Surveillance or Recertification Audits.

The iPhone headphone jack may be a thing of the past when the iPhone 7 is released later this year. While many individuals who have grown up on the wired headphones are having trouble with the concept of a wireless headphone or not being able to listen to wired headphones while charging their iPhones, the manufacturers of headphones are not sweating the change. Why, you may ask?
The Consumer Electronics Show is currently taking place in Las Vegas and, as the Verge points out, many companies are talking about the change to Apple's most popular and highest-selling device.
"I've spoken with many of them during this year's CES and none feel threatened by or unprepared for Apple's rumored removal of the headphone jack," Verge writer Vlad Savov wrote. "There are two reasons for this: one is that almost every headphone manufacturer, major or minor, has some sort of wireless product to offer prospective iPhone 7 owners. Only the truly premium, audiophile-class vendors — whose products aren't intended to be used with mobile devices anyway — don't have a Bluetooth variant to offer. The big names like Sennheiser and Audio-Technica are already working on entire portfolios of high-end wireless headphones, and others like Bose have been developing the technology for years. Nothing new on this front."
He said the other reason, he said, is because many companies are already working on headphones that are wired and use Apple's proprietary Lightning connection on iPhones for power, and will now use it for the iPhone headphone connection.
Quartz reports Apple is currently working on its own wireless headphones to connect with the new iPhone 7.
"The earbuds, which should be able to pick up calls and activate Siri, are unlikely to ship with the iPhone 7," Gurman notes—probably because of the premium price.
"Comparable cordless headphones like the Bragi Dash cost $300," Quartz reported.
But the idea that Apple would be developing its own premium wireless iPhone headphones is not a complete surprise. The company now owns the popular Beats headphones company, and has continued looking for ways to diversify its core business at a time when its stock is currently under $100 per share, the first time since August. The company, reports say, is suffering from a drop in iPhone sales, which make up a large chunk of its core business.
Now, even though Apple is working on its own premium iPhone headphones, the Verge reports the company could actually provide a boost to other headphone manufacturers who have not been able to compete in recent years due to Apple providing iPhone headphones with each of its new units, therefore keeping people from investing in other more high-end headphones.
And even if companies have old inventory on the shelves that are not compatible with the Lightning connection on the latest iPhone models coming out later this year, the Verge says many of the companies will do something quite simple to remedy the problem and move old inventory off the shelves — include converters, or just focus on Bluetooth.
"Some of them throw a 3.5mm to 6.25mm adapter in the box and move on to more important matters. Apple's dispatch of the headphone jack makes things interesting for these companies, but only in the sense that it could spur more sales. Most have told me that integrating an amp and digital-to-analog converter into their headphones — which would be required when hooking up via Lightning — would be relatively straightforward. Others are just really keen to sell more Bluetooth headphones."
What do you think about the conversion to wireless and Bluetooth instead of the traditional iPhone headphones? Tell us in the comments section below.

Head Boys and Girls Cross Country Coach- Scott Burns (email link) - 540.550.3188Assistant Cross Country Coach-Kauren Nordstrom (email@example.com) - 717.659.279
Assistant Cross Country Coach-Dave Ciccarelli (email@example.com) - 703.431.0240(NOTE: All phone #s are cell phones)(NOTE: Please do not leave a voice mail on Coach Burns' cell phone as he is just a good 'ole boy from NW PA & is somewhat technologically challenged....no kidding, I'm serious. As for texting him, don't even go there. The other coaches are much more tech-savvy.)Posted--Friday, June 7, 2013WXC DATA SHEET - Parents: Please download and complete the data sheet and return it (email preferable) to Dave Ciccarelli (a.k.a., "Coach Chic") @ "firstname.lastname@example.com" (not case sensitive).SUMMER RUNNING/CONDITIONINGSummer running begins @ 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 11th, at the flag poles in front of Woodgrove High School (WHS). Parents, please allow at least 90 minutes for Summer running/conditioning. The coaching staff will notify you if this changes. Please ensure that your student/athlete(s) have (a) running/athletic shorts, (b) a loose fitting t-shirt of tank top, (c) running shoes (not court shoes, keds, chuck taylors, high tops, basketball shoes, etc.) as these will damage your child if they attempt to run long (or not so long) distances in them, (d) water bottle. Summer running goes Monday through Friday @ 0800 @ the flag poles (unless otherwise notified) through Friday, August 2nd. Summer running is voluntary, but, as most of our student/athletes well know, those who put in the miles do better in the Fall.We will not meet on Thursday, 07/04/13. Weekend runs should be arranged among student/athletes because it's always easier to get a run in when you have someone expecting you (as opposed to sleeping in and never getting around to it). If your student/athlete is what we should consider a Summer running regular & will be absent from Summer running, feel free to email Coach Chic about when he/she will be missing (and even where they are if you see fit) so we won't think they've tired of us and dropped off the face of the WXC earth. After all, we care for the little urchins... we really do & we miss them when they're gone.REGULAR SEASONOfficial practice begins at 0800 on Monday, August 5th, at the school. To practice with the team on or after 08/05/13, your student/athlete must have all paperwork turned into the WHS Athletic Director (AD) or Assistant Athletic Director (AAD), not the WXC coaching staff. Required paperwork can be found @ & downloaded from the WHS Athletics webpage.WXC CAMPAt noon on Monday, 08/05/13 (yes, the 1st day of practice), those WXC student/athletes going to camp will meet back at the school packed & ready to go. We will travel in caravan (parent transportation to be coordinated in the future) to Concord Retreat (www.concordretreat.com). It's about 75 minutes west of WHS in Yellow Springs WV. Campers will return to WHS on Saturday, August 10th at about noon. In years past, the cost for camp has been about $250 (includes lodging and food). For new runners and parents thereof, we will let you know as June/July progresses if we feel that a student/athlete might not be ready for camp (which involves increased mileage...but student/athlete mileages may vary). Stay tuned for more details.COMPETITIONWe do not have the Fall 2013 schedule fully planned at present. Suffice to say that there's a good chance your student/athlete will be competing every Saturday from the last Saturday in August through the 1st Saturday in October and on at least 4 Wednesdays during that time period. Saturday invitational meets are large affairs involving up to 100 teams while Wednesday meets are usually between 3 or 4 local teams. Saturday meet bus departures can involve having your student/athlete @ the school anywhere between 0530 and 0730 while Wednesday meets typically involve bus departures from WHS at about 1600 (4pm) with races starting @ 1730 (5:30 pm). Stay tuned for details.COMMSThe primary means of communications between the WXC coaching staff and student/athletes and parents of student/athletes is by mass email. Please ensure that Coach Ciccarelli (firstname.lastname@example.com) has a good email(s) for you and please check your email regularly especially as we head towards and into August. FYI, he's a former jarhead and tends to use 24-hour time w/out colons so 1300 is 1pm, 1600 is 4pm, etc. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.We are looking forward to a great season.Let's go run!The WXC Coaching Staff

Plasma + Usability & Productivity Sprint in Valencia, Spain
The KDE Plasma and Usability teams recently converged on the beautiful Spanish city of Valencia for a combined development sprint. The teams admired Valencia's medieval architecture and stayed up until midnight eating sumptuous Mediterranean food. But of course, the real purpose was work!
We camped out in the offices of the Slimbook company, which were generously made available for the sprint. The aim was not only to hack on Plasma and the Usability & Productivity initiative, but also to benefit from the cross-pollination opportunities provided by hosting both sprints at the same time and place.
The result was a huge amount of work done on Plasma, KWin, Dolphin, Spectacle, and many other bits of KDE software.
Present for the Plasma sprint were Kai Uwe Broulik, David Edmundson, Nicolas Fella, Eike Hein, Roman Gilg, Aleix Pol Gonzalez, Marco Martin, and Bhushan Shah. They had quite a busy agenda:
In addition to making technical progress, the Plasma and Usability teams got together to discuss a number of long-standing Plasma issues, and figure out how to resolve them:
We wanted to make it easier to test a custom-compiled version of Plasma. To do so, we implemented changes that allow you to integrate your custom-compiled Plasma into SDDM by running a single command, after which you can log into it normally. For more information, see this article.
We thought it would be a good idea to make more it obvious and discoverable that Plasma is made up of widgets, and show how they are configured. To do this, we decided to create a new "global edit mode" that's triggerable from within System Settings, as this is where new users generally expect everything to be configured. In this global edit mode, all widgets become visibly configurable, editable, removable, etc. We also want to make it easy to change the wallpaper in this mode. With all that done, we'll be able to remove the Desktop Toolbox as it currently exists.
There was a need to unify the disparate scaling methods, so we decided to visually connect the scale factor chooser with the "Force Fonts DPI" setting, since the former actually affects the latter, but not the other way around. This should make it clear that the scaling slider is the primary way to scale the screen, and the "force fonts DPI" control is nothing more than a way to tweak things further.
We needed Plasma to respect the system-wide scale factor on X11, so we came up with a path forward and a plan for getting it done!
We planned out how to add power actions to the lock screen. We concluded that not only does this make sense, but it will be necessary for Plasma Mobile anyway. In a multi-user environment, the user will have to enter an admin password to shut down or restart the machine when other users are also logged in.
Over in the Usability & Productivity room we had Méven Car, Albert Astals Cid, Noah Davis, Filip Fila, Nate Graham, and David Redondo. The agenda was similarly jam-packed, and included the following:
We also came to some significant conclusions related to higher-level goals. For example, we plan to pay for professional user research to generate new "personas" and target user groups that represent the people using our software. We will use these personas as the basis for professional usability testing for Plasma, Dolphin, Gwenview, Okular, and other components of a basic desktop.
Additionally, we discussed how we can add release notes data to our apps' AppStream data, so that it shows up in software center apps like Discover. The big blocker was getting the required translations added to the tarball. We've started a dialogue with AppStream maintainer Matthias Klumpp regarding a new feature to pull translations from a remote location, which would support our workflow. The conversation is proceeding nicely so far.
Finally, VDG member Noah Davis dug deep into Breeze to work on visual consistency improvements related to selection highlights. Given his growing familiarity with the code, he's well on his way to becoming the next Breeze maintainer!
All in all, it was a very productive week. KDE Plasma and apps are in a great place right now, and the team's effort to further improve things will reach you in upcoming versions, so stay tuned!
Nice work. Great energy around the KDE ecosystem. The future looks bright and shiny!

sprint notes not accessible
Hello and thanks for your review! Happy to see that duplication of functionality is avoided in one ot the often used usage scenarios!
Further I would like to remark that the sprint notes to which you refer are not visible.
Perhaps it is an idea to have them visible (read-only) for users without an account and only editable for users with an account.
I am interested in those notes since they give a piece of the roadmap.

Get Ice for Your Hemorrhoids!
Ice pack treatment aids in reducing pain and itching associated with hemorrhoids. Read on to find out how.
Using ice for hemorrhoids is an effective natural remedy. It can be used to relieve pain, itching, and swelling association with hemorrhoids.
Ice pack treatment is known to work for anyone who suffers from enlarged hemorrhoids and has trouble walking or sitting.
How Does It Work?
When you apply chipped ice on rectal region, it numbs the area while at the same time reduces inflammation.
Ice helps in reducing pain associated with hemorrhoids by anesthetizing the entire rectal area so that you don't feel pain.
Some people consider using ice pack treatment straight after a warm sitz bath.
The warm sitz dilates anal veins and the cold from the ice contracts them.
This exercise helps veins to strengthen, elasticize, and ultimately get rid of hemorrhoids.
This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get rid of pain and irritation.
You must apply ice packs to the anal region for at least 20 minutes to numb the affected area.
You can repeat this process three times a day to get effective results.
What Are The Side Effects?
Ice pack treatment for hemorrhoids has no side effects. But, you must be careful while using this method to get relief.
You may also insert ice chips wrapped in a thin cloth into rectum to get to the affected area, but don't overdo it. The last thing you would want to do is injure yourself further!
Don't use ice directly on the skin. You can prepare your pack by putting a few ice chips in a thin towel.
Alternating sitz baths with ice packs is an effective external hemorrhoid treatment. It can help in alleviating hemorrhoids symptoms and providing instant relief.
But, this is not enough. This can only provide some temporary relief from the pain and swelling.
You must include fiber rich foods in your diet, exercise daily, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid the reoccurrence of this condition.
An Effective Hemorrhoids Product – Avatrol
You can take hemorrhoid products to get long lasting relief from this problem. One effective product for hemorrhoids is Avatrol.
Avatrol contains botanical plant extracts that are proven to reduce constipation risks and alleviate hemorrhoidal symptoms. It contains natural ingredients:
You can also use other topical hemorrhoids ointment and creams to reduce dryness, irritation, itching and swelling associated with this condition.

Have you ever wonder why many of my cakes using strawberries are alway the same size?
Well, you probably think that I must be lucky enough to buy them in a box the same size.
No, not always the case and I have bought strawberries that came in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
I have come up the a method I use all the time to cut strawberries into the same size and I will share it with you.
Pick out a Strawberry that is what size you want for your cake.
Cut in half.
Grab another one thats slightly bigger than the first one.
Cut the second one into an angle so that it is close to the first one.
Again cut the otherside, so that both ends matches up with the first piece,
You will have the excess from the middle part which you can use as filling for the cake.
When you lay them out you can see that they are the same thickness and equal lenght.
Here's a quick video that demonstrate how it's done.

Have you ever gone to the grocery store without a list? We all know what happens next… You spend extra time going through all the aisles. Chocolate-covered banana snacks and a bag of weird wasabi-flavored chips end up in the cart.
Wait, what was it that you needed to buy? Of course, you forgot, and then your spouse "requests" you go back to the store.
Oh, and the wasabi chips, yuck…
As we go through life, and face decisions both big and small, we could use a similar list to keep us on track. That list is your Core Values.
Core Values
Core Values are the beliefs and qualities that we strive to live by. They are the things that we value most in our lives - such as family, work, community, philanthropy, status, flexibility, education and health. Core Values are not possessions, activities or experiences… they are convictions about how you define yourself as a person, and they can have a most positive impact on your life.
So how do you determine your Core Values? The following questions will help to get you thinking:
What were your favorite activities as a child? Do you miss any of these?
What brings energy to your life?
What accomplishments are you most proud of?
What qualities do the people you admire possess? What are their Core Values?
What is the legacy you would like to leave?
Thinking about the questions you answered above, look at the list below and circle any of the words that you feel could be a Core Value. Don't think too hard - just circle. If you don't see one that captures your thinking, add it to the list and circle it.
Spend some time looking at the words your circled, take a breath and narrow the list to 20 values… then narrow it to 10. Take some time and now narrow it to 5. OK, overachievers, you can have up to 10 if you need to!
Core Values List
Once you have your Core Values list, write them down. When faced with your next decision, ask yourself:
Is this decision aligned with my Core Values?
Am I spending time and money on activities that are aligned with my Core Values?
In my next blog, I'll share a real-life example of a client / friend who reflected on her Core Values as she faced some major life decisions.
Would you like to learn more about Investing in Your Values? We will be hosting Investing in Your Values workshops, in which I discuss my thoughts in further detail – and help you focus on determining your Core Values.

Visiting your physician for a consultation on a new health issue is not that easy. As a patient, it is your responsibility to make the doctor understand fully what your medical symptoms are. Giving the correct information is important as that will help your physician determine the correct ailment that causes those medical symptoms. The medical interview usually lasts for 10 minutes or less; below are some steps on how you can maximize that time and be able to give your doctor the needed information:
1. You may create your own patient profile and bring it with you during the interview. The profile just needs to contain information about your medical history. It will be great if you will be able to include the dates of treatments/hospitalizations, the reasons, as well as any instances of surgery. Creating a list of all the medical symptoms you have experienced especially on a regular basis will be a great help.
2. Inform the physician of the reasons why you came for a visit in just a few sentences. Tell your physician of the usual medical symptoms you are experiencing. Symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, constipation, etc. are normally the most common things that bring patients to the doctor.
3. Inform your doctor about the timeline and the frequency of your medical symptoms. For example, mention that you feel nauseous and vomit three times a day for the past three days. It is also advisable to give your doctor the dates as well as the exact times you have experienced the medical symptoms.
4. Think of the right adjectives that would describe your symptoms completely. Pain is not the same for every person. Tell your physician whether the pain is sharp, felt deep within the body, etc. Make sure to describe what makes those medical symptoms different from what you have felt in the past.
5. Inform the physician of the body part(s) where the medical symptoms were felt. If the pain moves from one part to another, tell your doctor too.
6. Determining the severity of your symptoms from a scale of one to ten is also recommended. Use one as the lowest and ten as the highest rating. Make sure that you are honest and never tell information that is incomplete or exaggerated.
Being able to describe your medical symptoms correctly and completely will help ensure that your physician is able to give out the correct diagnosis and give you the proper treatment to alleviate those symptoms.

Wargaming, there are many more important aspects of WOT to improve.
- Matchmaking imbalance
- New maps (p.s. remove Pilsen)
- New tanks
- Artillery re-work
- Premium ammo fix (275 HESH pen)
Please stop wasting resources on Commander mode. It splits the community and dilutes matchmaking. Nobody cares about Commander mode leaderboards. I'd rather earn those free rewards from playing the WOT I've enjoyed for 5 years.

Uzbekistan: Human rights violations continue to be commonplace four years after Uzbekistan's first review: Amnesty International Submission to the UN Universal Periodic Review
In this submission, Amnesty International evaluates the implementation of a number of recommendations made to Uzbekistan during its previous Universal Periodic Review in 2008. Amnesty International further expresses concerns about the current human rights situation such as the clamp-down on freedom of expression and association. Torture and other ill-treatment continue to be widespread. Allegations of torture or ill-treatment are rarely effectively investigated, contributing to a climate of impunity. Human rights violations continue to be carried out in the context of national security and the fight against terrorism.
