Five years ago on Memorial Day, former CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier and her team were reporting in Baghdad when a car bomb exploded, killing four people, including her stanley cup uk cameraman, Paul Douglas, and her sound man, James Brolan.Kimberly Dozier, back on the job Dozier was critically wounded, but after sever stanley bottle al surgeries and a long rehabilitation, she returned to work in the war-torn area. She writes about the experience in her 2008 memoir Breathing the Fire, which was recently updated and reissued in paperback. Read an excerpt of the book. Dozier, who is now with Associated Press Intelligence a stanley cup website nd Special Operations, said she returned to Iraq to finish her mission there. She said, I know a lot of troops who feel the same way. ... It s not the adrenaline rush of being in a war zone. It is being with your team, whether it s reporters or diplomats or troops -- the people to your left and your right that you rely on in a situation like that. Dozier said it was a return to normalcy for her and a statement that her life didn t stop when the bomb went off. The car bomb didn t stop my way of life, she said. It didn t stop what I d spent years building. I have been back. I go back regularly now. It was hairy the first couple times I went. ... When you drove down Baghdad s airport road or when I was in Kabul when General Petraeus, who was commander, then flew me around, it was a little bit like, Alright, we re back in the Red Zone.

America bridges are not鈥攚e ;re sorry to report鈥攄oing so great. Of the over 600,000 bridges in the U.S., more than half are over 30 years old, and 11 percent are structurally deficient. That makes inspecting bridges all the more important; unfortunately, the underside of a bridge is also pretty damn inaccessible to humans. Who might be better at that A swarm of tiny bots. At the University of Maryland Microrobotics Laboratory, a group of scientists are creating the bridge-inspection swarm of the future. They hope to send autonomous bots scurrying along a bridge to gather data on the bridge structural stability. So far, they ;ve made mouse-sized prototypes that zoom aroun stanley quencher d obstacles, like ones it may encounter on the underside of a bridge, with ease. The key, then, is to create a robot this agile that can also scurry around upside down. Sarah Bergbreiter, one of the professors heading up the project, tells Popular Science they ;re working on a number of adhesion strategies, including gecko-inspired hairs and electroadhesion. The team is currently at the start of a three-year, $850,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to turn their tiny bots on land into professional bridge inspectors. In the meantime, the self-driving robot cars of the future will surely be glad to know that tiny robot inspectors have their backs.
