The Center for Worker Health promotes worker and occupational health research and practice. It brings together investigators, health care providers, community members and business leaders interested in protecting and promoting worker health. In addition to research, the Center supports education through a seminar series and a journal club.
Work is a major element of life and has manifold health implications.
It shapes vital aspects of workers' daily lives: when they sleep, how they interact with their families, and their relation to their communities.
Job-related tasks put workers into contact with materials and circumstances that have the potential of causing illness and disease. They also have the potential of promoting human health and vitality.
Work is a leverage point for human health.
The Healthy People initiative has for over 20 years set goals for building worksite health promotion programs.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration focuses on preventing illness and injury by setting and enforcing standards to minimize risks inherent in every job.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health funds ongoing basic and applied research designed to promote population health by reducing work-related illnesses and building the health-promotion capacity of the workplace.
These national-level programs demonstrate that work and the workplace are a powerful laboratory for both understanding human health and for translating research findings into concrete strategies for reducing illness and promoting health.
Work has a direct relation to quality and availability of healthcare.
Engaging in the labor force is the primary source of individuals' and families' financial wherewithal, and it is a dominant source of health insurance and subsequent access to healthcare for most Americans.

Tactical training warfare meets blitzkrieg.
Nowadays, most distance runners — even 800-meter specialists — regularly incorporate tempo runs into their training, either during pre-competitive phases or year-round. Alternatively called lactate-threshold runs or anaerobic-threshold runs, these are workouts done at a pace you could hold for about one hour going all-out, and typically range from about 20 minutes in duration for track and shorter-distance specialists to 40 or more minutes for seasoned marathoners.
It's also not uncommon for specialists at various distances to perform time trials, either at the beginning of a training bout to establish baseline fitness or as a goal race looms to engender confidence and mimic competitive conditions. There are close to all-out in terms of intensity, but in most cases are limited to about two-thirds of the goal event distance.
RELATED: Know Your Tempo
Taking a close look at each of these types of sessions invites what seems an obvious question: Is there any way to combine these efforts into a single workout, and if so, does such a workout serve a useful purpose? The answers are yes and yes.

Red Sox 8, Yankees 5
NEW YORK -- David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia drove in three runs apiece, and the Boston Red Sox outlasted the New York Yankees 8-5 Sunday night at Yankee Stadium.
Ortiz hit his 450th career home run in the third inning, a long, three-run shot off New York right-hander Chase Whitley (3-2). The Boston designated hitter became the 37th player to hit 450 home runs and did so after his previous two at-bats resulted in double plays against defensive shifts.
Pedroia reached base for the 12th game in his past 13, and he recorded his second consecutive three-hit game. After preceding Ortiz's 19th home with his second hit of the night, the second baseman had a two-run bloop single to right field in Boston's three-run fifth and then lifted a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Shortstop Stephen Drew added an RBI single, and the Red Sox scored another run in the fifth when left fielder Daniel Nava came home uncontested after Pedroia was caught off first base in a rundown.
Right-hander John Lackey (9-5) capitalized on the offense and picked up the win despite allowing five runs (four earned) and six hits in five innings.
After Burke Badenhop was aided by a running catch in left field by Nava and center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. throwing out New York designated hitter Carlos Beltran at the plate in the sixth, Andrew Miller struck out the side in the seventh while working around a walk.
Junichi Tazawa pitched a scoreless eighth, and Koji Uehara tossed a perfect ninth for his 18th save.
First baseman Mark Teixeira and Beltran hit solo home runs for the Yankees, who lost for the fifth time in seven games. Shortstop Derek Jeter had an RBI single, and left fielder Brett Gardner added a run-scoring double.
Whitley allowed five runs and eight hits in four-plus innings.
Boston had two hits in the second and took a 1-0 lead on Drew's single through a drawn-in infield that scored first baseman Mike Napoli. Whitley escaped further trouble by getting rookie right fielder Mookie Betts on a double play.
The Red Sox made it 4-0 in the third on Ortiz's three-run home run into the right-center-field seats.
The Yankees made it 4-1 on a two-out single by Jeter that ended an 11-pitch at-bat and scored right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who reached on an error by third baseman Brock Holt.
New York made it a one-run game on solo home runs by Teixeira and Beltran in the fourth.
In the fifth, Boston loaded the bases on three straight walks and took a 6-3 lead on Pedroia's two-run bloop single into right field off reliever Shawn Kelley. The Red Sox took a 7-3 lead when the Yankees picked off Pedroia while Daniel Nava scored uncontested.
New York scored two in the fifth on a run-scoring double by Gardner and RBI groundout by center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
NOTES: The Yankees did not have a problem with Boston 1B Mike Napoli's reaction to hitting a home run off RHP Masahiro Tanaka on Saturday. FOX's dugout microphones caught Napoli saying "what an Idiot" in surprise to getting a fastball as opposed to other pitches. ... The Yankees said that LHP CC Sabathia did not have any problems after making his first rehab start Saturday night and that he would throw a bullpen session Monday before making a second rehab start. ... Boston 3B Xander Bogaerts, in a 2-for-35 slump since June 18, was out of the starting lineup. Manager John Farrell said Bogaers was spending batting practice working on his timing at the plate. ... Red Sox hitting coach Greg Colbrunn was medically cleared, and he will rejoin the team Monday after sustaining a brain aneurysm about a month ago.

LONG BEACH, CA – As the Long Beach Fire Department struggles to find fat to trim after years of reductions, officials are considering putting a single paramedic on each responding vehicle instead of running two-paramedic teams.
Fire command staff and city officials are presenting the switch as a way to shorten response times by requiring fewer paramedics in the system, cutting more than $1 million in spending as required in the proposed fiscal year 2013 budget.
The response-time improvement would occur by placing more paramedic units in the field, going from two paramedics on eight ambulances to one paramedic and one emergency medical technician on 11 units, according to LBFD Chief Mike DuRee.
Under the proposal, each of the 16 fire engines included in next year's budget would have a paramedic, instead of nine engines now.
"It doesn't matter if it's a stubbed toe or chest pain, every call will have a paramedic responding," DuRee said.
The change, which must get approval from the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency, is being criticized by the firefighters union.
"We're all for looking for innovative ways to deliver EMS, but the model that's being discussed compromises patient care," said Rex Pritchard, president of Long Beach Firefighters Local 372.
Currently, three of Long Beach's regular ambulances are staffed by two EMTs, who are trained in basic life support, such as CPR. A paramedic has advanced life support
training and can administer medications and perform other procedures, such as defibrillation, that EMTs cannot.
Opponents of a "one-to-one" model – with one paramedic and one EMT – say two paramedics back up each other and can execute interconnected procedures, such as intubating a patient while beginning intravenous therapy, faster than a single paramedic.
A trial period
The two-paramedic system has become a minority in California, in part due to budget pressures, with only Los Angeles, Orange and Contra Costa counties using the model, according to officials.
The process to approve an EMS model shift in Long Beach could take 10 months or longer.
Before then, a written plan would be vetted by the county's EMS Commission and discussed in public meetings, according to Cathy Chidester, director of the Los Angeles County EMS Agency.
If approved, the LBFD would likely have to participate in a two-year trial period, she said.
"We would have the ability to discontinue it at any time if we felt like there was any detriment to patient care," said Chidester.
Response times
The National Fire Protection Association promotes standards that call for the first unit, with at least one paramedic, to get to the scene of an advanced life support call within a total time of eight minutes.
For basic life support calls, the first unit with at least one EMT should arrive within six minutes, the NFPA says.
In Long Beach, where almost 84 percent of the Fire Department's calls are medical incidents, a paramedic arrived at an advanced life support call site in an average six minutes and 26 seconds in 2011, according to LBFD data.
An EMT arrived at a basic life support call scene, on average, in six minutes and 21 seconds.
DuRee estimated expanding the number of paramedic units in Long Beach could lower response times on medical incidents by as much as 30 to 60 seconds.
As fire department purse strings across the country are tightened, many communities have successfully moved to a one-to-one staffing model to save money, said Ken Willette, division manager of Public Fire Protection with the NFPA.
Others still rely on the traditional, two-paramedic style, he added.
"The question is, what fits the need of the local community?" Willette asked.
Next year's Fire Department budget also calls for mothballing one of Long Beach's 17 engine companies.
The unit targeted for reduction will be selected by early September, DuRee said.
City Council members have until Sept. 15 to approve or change next year's budget, which closes a $17.2 million deficit.
The fiscal year starts Oct. 1.

Earlier this week I noted some well-known Sonics fans that have jumped on the Mike McGinn Reelection Bandwagon thanks to the incumbent's role in securing a SoDo arena deal. Sonicsgate producer Adam Brown and Kris "Sonics Guy" Brannon or just a couple of the familiar faces stumping for the mayor in the days leading up to the Aug. 6 primary.
Last night, however, some area basketball fans took a different approach in throwing their voice into the mayoral fracas, choosing to tear a candidate down for his stance on the SoDo arena instead of propping up McGinn for his.
On Twitter, candidate Peter Steinbrueck was in the crosshairs, the subject of the fairly hilarious hashtag campaign #SteinbrueckFacts. With help from Seattle Weekly's 2012 "Best Seattle Sports Twitter Follow" Alex Akita of SeattleSportsNet.com, fans from far and wide took jabs at Steinbrueck for his onetime lobbying role with the port, his belief that SoDo isn't the right place to build a new arena, and a bunch of other shit that while not based in reality, was pretty damn funny.
A sampling:
"Pete Steinbrueck does think that dress makes you look fat. #SteinbrueckFacts"
"Pete Steinbrueck goes to the pound, adopts those sad-looking pets you see in ASPCA ads, then takes them back THE NEXT DAY. #SteinbrueckFacts"
"Pete Steinbrueck thinks the Oregon Ducks need more uniforms. #SteinbrueckFacts"
"Peter Steinbrueck wished he'd lived in that town from Footloose, before Kevin Bacon ruined it. #SteinbrueckFacts"
Asked earlier this week how the SoDo arena issue would impact the Aug. 6 primary, the Steinbrueck campaign was adamant that he supports a return of NBA basketball to Seattle, but firmly believes SoDo is the wrong place for an arena. The campaign also believes, "Support for locating the arena in the SODO has waned," according to Steinbrueck campaign spokesperson Kathy Mulady.
"McGinn's planned location for the arena, in the SODO area, will put good-paying industrial and maritime jobs at risk and will slow freight mobility. It is simply wrong and voters understand that," says Mulady. "We can find a place for the new arena. We can't move the port.
"It seems like other issues, such as finding a police chief, reforming the police department, transportation and fixing streets, safe, healthy neighborhoods, cleaning the Duwamish and protecting air quality, stronger schools and early education, for example, have surfaced as issues voters are concerned about right now."
That might be true, but it wasn't last night on Twitter.

Is it real or fake?
A Kiss Cam at a Fresno Grizzlies game last week seemed to capture a girlfriend dumping a drink on her boyfriend when he's too busy to kiss her when the camera is on them.
Some point out that it seems a bit too convenient overall, and wonder if the actors and the team put this together.

LAKELAND | A Lakeland man's home was destroyed by fire after he left for work Friday morning.
LAKELAND | A Lakeland man's home was destroyed by fire after he left for work Friday morning.
Lakeland firefighters were called about 9 a.m. to a raging fire at 1021 W. Chase St., near George Jenkins Boulevard.
Firefighters did not release the name of the man who lived in the small house. He could not be reached by relatives for comment. The home is owned by the man's aunt.
Ivory Figgs, 70, stood on the street behind crime-scene tape watching firefighters douse the fire. He said he was an uncle of the man who lived in the home, James Allen Townes, about 50.
Figgs said Townes is a handyman who can fix anything, but he didn't know where Townes went to work Friday.
The cause of the fire wasn't immediately known and is under investigation.
John Almskog, a Lakeland training chief, said 14 firefighters arrived within four minutes of the call, but the inside of the home was "100 percent engulfed" in flames.
He said it was too late to fight the fire by going inside the home, so they took a defensive position and battled the fire from the outside.
There was a fire hydrant within 100 feet of home.

When veteran North Carolina Crop Consultant Billy McLawhorn first scouted the soybeans on the Stilly Farms near Trenton, N.C., he thought the late-planted beans might make 30 bushels per acre.
Though drought and intense heat took some toll on the beans by the time he agreed to scout the beans for late season insects, chances of a good yield and good profit for the grower looked good.
Within a few weeks optimism turned to disaster, and despite 25 years of experience and a reputation for being one of the most knowledgeable consultants in the state, McLawhorn was not sure what the cause was for such sudden and dramatic damage to the crop.
"I had seen what I thought was charcoal rot, and initially it looked like the stand loss might create five percent or so yield loss. Within a few days, it was clear those same plants would lose 60 percent or more of their yield potential. Because of the timing of finding the initial damage, it took us a few days to get samples in to North Carolina State University for testing. When they told me the soybean plants were being killed by lesser cornstalk borers, I couldn't believe it," the veteran crop consultant recalls.
"I've worked in these fields and on farms in this area for a long, long time, and I've seen a few lessers from time to time, but never anything remotely close to this level — and not in soybeans," he adds. Finding lesser cornstalk borer on cotton or peanut plants was more a novelty than frequent occurrence, according to McLawhorn.
Trying to make some sense of this unusual infestation, McLawhorn called on long-time North Carolina State Entomologist Jack Bacheler. After taking a thorough look at the 40 acre field of soybeans in late August, Bacheler called it one of his career-defining fields.
Tobacco was planted in the field in the spring, but an early June hailstorm wiped out most of the 40 acre field and the grower decided to plant beans. By the time insurance adjusters had given the okay to plant, it was July 12.
It was too late to re-plant tobacco, so the grower decided to plant soybeans — a logical choice considering the price of beans and the time of year. He planted Group VI beans in seven-inch rows. Up until mid-August the soybeans looked really good and the calf high beans looked fine, except for very sporadic stand loss.
Once McLawhorn got the lab results that showed cornstalk borer damage, plants in more and more areas of the field had died. After consultation with Bacheler, McLawhorn advised the grower to spray with a high rate of Lorsban, which appeared to help some, but proved only a temporary reprieve.
Within a few weeks about half the field was totally destroyed, with only sporadic low spots devoid of damage from the insects. Lessers burrowed into the root system of the soybean plants just below the soil line, robbing the plants of what little moisture was available. The damage was so severe the grower abandoned it, leaving hearty, fast growing Palmer pigweed to take over the field.
Lesser cornstalk borer over-winters as a larva or pupa. The moth emerges early in the spring and lay its eggs on the leaves or stems of plants. The small larva begins to feed on roots and leaves. Later the larva constructs underground silken tubes at the soil surface from which they feed on plants. It becomes fully grown in 2 to 3 weeks after the egg hatch, and pupates in silken cocoons under trash on the surface of the ground.
The moth emerges from these cocoons in 2 to 3 weeks.
Subsequent generations typically are not economically important, but in the North Carolina fields damage appears to have occurred from more than one generation of the insect.
Serious damage by this insect is usually limited to late-planted crops, primarily corn in the Southeast. Rainfall and irrigation will kill many larvae. Soil applied insecticides used at planting for corn rootworms or cutworms may control this pest. Where this insect has been a problem, careful inspection during the seedling stage is important, particularly in drought years.
Bacheler says under some unique conditions lesser cornstalk borer will attack and kill soybeans. On the Stilly farm, the soybeans were planted late on extremely sandy soil and the damage occurred during a 10-12 day stretch of drought in which daytime temperatures stayed at or above 100 degrees for extended periods of time.
For lesser cornstalk borer and soybeans, these conditions provided the perfect ingredients for an unusual perfect storm.
Though the Stilly farm was by far the most severely affected by lesser cornstalk borer, McLawhorn says they also found some scattered and less severe damage from these insects on double-crop beans planted in mid-June.
Lesser cornstalk borer are typically not a major pest, even in corn, in eastern North Carolina though McLawhorn says it's not unusual to find a few from time to time.
Whether full season beans would be affected by lesser is not certain. With soybean acreage in the upper Southeast expected to increase in 2008, managing lesser cornstalk borer on late-planted beans on sandy soils may be an issue, especially if heat and drought conditions return for an encore performance next year.

Roasted Beetroot Salad with Blue Cheese and Honey

Author Notes: Roasted beetroot is an amazing experience. I used to hate beetroot until I read about roasting them in the oven.
It took me ages to try it but the result is incredible, really tasty.
Rather then mixing it with a salad and ending up having a red salad, I thought of making it on it's own and pairing it with some oranges and a great blue cheese, some pine kernels, walnuts or pecans – all are a perfect match for the season. —Maria Teresa Jorge
Serves: 6-8
Roasted Beetroot Salad with Blue Cheese and Creamy Orange, Mustard and Honey Vinaigrette
1 1/2
cups bluecheese, crumbled
cup roasted pine kernels
Honey to drizzle
Ladon Salt
Orange, Mustard and Honey Vinaigrette
tablespoons orange juice
tablespoon White wine Vinegar
tablespoon Honey
teaspoon French Dijon Mustard
cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
cup Buttermilk or a plain yoghurt
- Pre-heat the oven to 350º.
- Wash the beetroots very well. Wrap them in aluminium foil and cook in the oven for about 45 minutes or until medium soft when tested with a skewer.
- Crumble the blue cheese and set aside.
- In a frying pan, over very low heat, toast the pine kernels. If using walnuts or pecans, lightly toast them in the oven.
- Peel the oranges leaving no pith at all and remove the wedges of orange leaving the skin in between. Set aside.
- Open the aluminium foil with the beetroot inside and allow to cool. Peel the skin off (it comes out very thin and really easy), discard the stem. Cut the beetroots either in cubes or any other shape you prefer.
- Put in a bowl, season with the vinaigrette and toss well to coat the beetroot.
- Transfer it to your serving dish and garnish with the orange wedges, the blue cheese, pine kernels and a drizzle of honey. Once you put the beetroot in the serving dish, don't be tempted to mix it with the blue cheese - the cheese will become red and not so eye appealing.
- Drizzle a little honey, sprinkle with Maldon salt and serve.
- Creamy Vinaigrette
- In a container put all the ingredients except for the olive oil. Beat with a handheld blender until creamy and the salt is completely dissolved.
- Pour the olive oil in a drizzle and continue beating until it's creamy. Check the salt. Take your time, you'll really get a nice creamy sauce.

If your cat seems bored with its food, offer a wet food with a different texture and flavor. Experiment by placing a few different types side by side to see which one your cat likes best.read more
TV shows often chronicle the dramatic goings-on in the emergency room of hospitals, but what about emergency pet hospitals? Here, Dr. Katy Nelson, an associate emergency veterinarian and a certified veterinary journalist in Alexandria, Va., describes what goes on at such hospitals from her perspective.
How an ER Shift Starts
Nelson says a typical shift in an ER starts and ends the same way: with rounds. "Vets, just like doctors, have to turn over their patients so that the incoming doctor knows all the ins and outs of each case, knows what to watch for, and what the plan is."
After this work comes what she and some other ER vets call "SOAP." This stands for "Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan." The acronym refers to many different activities, from fielding owner questions, to communicating with other veterinary hospitals, to handling all of the emergency cases that come through the front door. Some nights, this process goes very quickly; other nights, it goes on and on. "The reality of emergency medicine is that it's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates -- you never know what you're going to get," says Nelson. But she says most "emergency types" thrive on the uncertainty.
Cat ER Patients
Nelson says that most cats come into the emergency room for the following health problems: vomiting, diarrhea, urinary problems, respiratory issues and lack of appetite.
"Cats can be very vocal and very physical, so you've got to use caution when dealing with them," says Nelson. "For the most part, they're just scared, so by dealing with them slowly and with patience, you often can achieve what you need to get done by simply assuring them that you're not out to hurt them."
How ER Pet Hospitals Differ From Others
As opposed to a regular veterinary office, most ER facilities stay open for 24 hours, or handle cases after normal working hours. Emergency hospitals are typically more expensive, with care costing about 20 percent to 30 percent more due to higher overhead and higher liability, as well as what Nelson calls "the convenience factor." As opposed to other care facilities, some ER hospitals would rather that the owner not be in the treatment area at the time of the emergency. This is much like a human hospital, where the family is frequently kept outside in the waiting room.
Reasons to Visit an ER
Because of the ER cost and the often late-night hours, some cat owners try to wait out their pets' health problems until the morning, figuring that their cats' usual veterinarians can handle the issues then. Nelson, however, says you should never wait until morning if the following symptoms surface:
What to Do Before Going to the ER With Your Cat
Nelson offers the following three tips:
1. Try to bring a copy of the medical records with you (and not just a receipt) so that your ER doctor can have a complete picture of your cat's history rather than just having to go on your memory alone, which is not always that great during an emergency.
2. Always bring your cat in a carrier. Remember that there will be other pets in the hospital. For your own pet's safety, having it in a carrier is key.
3. If you know your cat gets aggressive or has required sedation during prior visits, please tell your veterinarian or technician immediately so that no one gets hurt.
Nerves and emotions run high at ER hospitals, so by following such advice, you can eliminate additional hassle. You might also help to save your pet's life.

Bilal says: I am currently loonkig into pet health ins. myself because I have 5 dogs all together. I haven't finished researching it yet, but I deal with pets for a living and am compiling info based on the input I recieve from my clients and compiling it with info I gathered from my vet and other vets in my area. Let me know if you find one that is pretty good and not to expensive and I will do the same. Was this answer helpful?
Aldrai says: First off, be sure you can financially hanlde a pet. Vaccinations, spaying/neutering, your apartment's security deposit for pets, a high quality food, litter, toys and etc can really add up. Not to mention, any surprise health problems or injuries that would require pricey vet trips. If you're good to go with all that, wait til you're settled in at school and have a decent idea of your schedule and how much time you think you can realistically dedicate to a cat. However cats are pretty independent, especially as adults. Though a kitten will require litter box training and extra attention to get socialized and all her energy out. Good luck with your decision!Edit: Cats don't travel well in my experience. I'm sure there are exceptions but in general, cats like familiarity and the noise and hustle of airports and flying makes them pretty skittish and/or defensive. On top of that, many cats get motion sickness. I found this out the hard way when I flew from NY to OR with my cat. I generally take the dog but leave the cat with a friend when I have to travel. Here's a link with some handy info about traveling with kitties.,,q2m1,00.htmlNote this part especially:Within 10 days of the flight, you must take your cat to the veterinarian and get a health certificate. The airlines will also visually assess your cat's health before they put it on the plane. Check the rabies requirements in both your state and the destination state to make sure your cat won't be impounded.
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

2 people dead after Easthampton motorcycle crash
Riders' names not released
2 people dead after Easthampton motorcycle crash
Riders' names not released
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. —
Authorities say two people who were on a motorcycle are dead and another person is facing charges after a collision in Easthampton.
The motorcycle was heading north on Route 5 at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday when a southbound vehicle crossed into to its lane.
The operator and the passenger on the motorcycle were killed.
The driver of the other vehicle, identified by the Northwestern district attorney's office as 45-year-old James Walter Ainsworth, of Springfield, was taken to the hospital with injuries not considered life threatening.
Ainsworth is scheduled to be arraigned Friday on two counts of motor vehicle homicide. It could be determined if he had a lawyer.
The motorcycle riders' names were not made public.

Freerace or slalom
Hi Kevin,
I'd like some advice from you.
I am an intermediat/advanced surfer. My weight is 95kg and I'm approx. 1.95m. tall. I own a Futura 133 and I want a new board for speed-surfing. (100 or 111?)
I have a very hard time choosing between a Futura or an Isonic. I have 3 sails North RAM F10 9,0 RAM F11 7,0 and RAM F11 6,3.
My point is: I like going fast and smooth. All over the forum I see that the Isonic is very fast and very hard to ride. And well driven the Futura will be nearly as fast
I know that you ride both of them. Could you give me some advice?
I surf on a big lake with average waves (between 0,5 -1m)
Thanks in advance for your reply,
|11th December 2010, 03:11 AM
Hi Marco,
If you want to get the most fun out of your day and go smooth and fast I suggest that the Futura's are the answer. These boards are extremely fast. Maybe not as fast as an iSonic on a slalom course, but downwind these boards are almost unbeatable. Control in chop is very good and jibing is easy. With the low OFO and volume in the tail it feels lively and small. Nice feature is the behaviour of the boards if you don't want/dare to take max speed out of it: the board stays in control on the water.
I have had 2 session with my FU 93 and scored avg pr's both times. Max speed went close to 40 Kts with a lot of more potential.
I will surf the FU 93 with 6.2 and 7.0, but I think the FU 101 will also be a very nice board for these sail sizes.
I don't have experiences with the iSonics, but after 5 years of surfing with pure slalom boards my switch to Futura boards gives me much more fun and better speed.
I hope Kevin can confirm my opinion or may add some extra insight.

thank you for your answer Hans,
What kind of sails do you use? full race? fun race? becaus I have heard that full race sails don't work that well on the futura. do you agree with this?
I like to know becaus I have the North Ram as sail.
thanks in advance
|13th December 2010, 10:44 PM
Hi Marco,
I use Severne reflex 6.2, 7.0 and 7.8 on my Futura 93 and 122. This sails work great on the boards. Maybe the boards like powerfull sails like the reflex, but In never tried other sails on these boards. Both freerace as full race sails must work very nice.
Maybe Kevin can add some information about how the boards behave according to more or less power in a sail.
Greets, Hans

used by a skilled rider, the isonic is faster than the futura in all conditions. however i did manage to push my 93 futura to 32.86 knots. the isonics really arn't hard boards to ride, and i dont see why people create this phallacy that they are. for an advanced rider (ie planing gybes on both tacks with good consistency) the isonics are great boards and are more fun for gybing than the futuras because they carry more speed throughout the turn and tend to 'slice' through the water than carve like a futura. if you have a quiver of race sails or 'recreational' race sails (eg a neilpryde rs slalom, 3-cam) the isonics match much better than the futura for those sails. once up to top end speed the isonics literally get to a point where they just fly over chop instead of going through it, because of the lower noce rocker, but you need to be able to get there though. the isonics can point higher upwind and keep more speed at that angle than a futura.
the futura does have some advantages though. for people learning to carve gybe for the first time the futuras tend to keep going a bit better at slow speeds and are more forgiving of dodgy technique. the futuras have a softer ride over chop going at normal crusing speed. with the futura you dont have to be as foccused on the chop going at slower speeds because of the slight extra nose rocker wheras with the isonic you do have to make sure the rails up front dont catch.
|17th December 2010, 02:50 AM
Jason, I made some quotes out your message to keep things more clear.
Futura 122 with 7.0 reflex: 34+ Kts both flat and choppy conditions
Futura 93 with 6.2 reflex: 39.6 Kts flat water and 32 Kts gusts
Both boards have potential to go much faster, especially with good riders (but most good riders surf iSonic so we don't know:-( ). Also the board perform very well with race sails, with the outboard straps it feels like they really need the power which a race sail gives them. This spring Erik Loots and I are planning to go testing and interchanging Futura's and iSonic's. Erik is a very experienced speed- and slalomsurfer and I hope he can make up his mind about pro's and contra's between iSonic and Futura:
- up-, down-, halfwind speed
- control
- jibing
- slalom
I'm no pro so Erik may find out these things;-)
So which board suits better is very personal, but a Futura maybe a very good alternative at least to test once.

Thanks for this inside information from experienced people.
What I read is that it is very personal how/what you experience from the different boards. Thanks for that.
If I read this I also see that the futura is still closer to me then the Isonic. I like the freeride without paying to much attention how to take the chop. In this fase I go for the futura. In fact I just bought the futura 93 and 111 . With the F133 I have a nice quiver to go from 10kts to 30+kts.
Maybe you can add for me the best fin size for these boards. I will use 6.3 on the F93 and 7.0 on the F111. For the F133 I have a C3 Venom 44 and the one which came with the board.

I just read the test for the new Futura 122 Wood.
In this part they say that the Futura is faster and even moved closer to the Isonic..
Quote: The 2011 Futura moved even closer to the iSonic without demanding more from its rider.
Jason wrote
Is the higher upwind also better with the Futura 2011? and does he keep the speed more at that angle?

Maybe it's something to do with the big fire in the sky coming back over this big city finally, but I really am feeling the urge to sparkle and blind right now. I think with my recent acquiring of black sequin pants, I've exhausted that material at the moment but metallic and glitter is all game!

The doorknob is dead. At least in Vancouver, British Columbia.
A recent revision in the city's building code, designed to improve accessibility, shows the door to the venerable knob, replacing it with the hipper and easier-to-use lever.
The Vancouver Sun reports:
"In September, Vancouver council adopted new amendments to its building code, effective next March, that, among other things, will require lever handles on all doors and lever faucets in all new housing construction."
The change has been coming for some time. Last year, for example, all the Art Deco doorknobs in Vancouver's heritage-listed City Hall were swapped out for "utilitarian gold-coloured levers," The Sun says.
The newspaper says Vancouver is a national trendsetter, so there appears to be no way out of the doorknob's impending demise across Canada.
Some accuse Vancouver city officials of flying off the handle with the new code. Allen Joslyn, president of the (New Jersey-based) Antique Doorknob Collectors of America, says he understands that in a public building "everybody wants to have free access, and that is a problem.
"But to say that when I build my private home and nobody is disabled that I have to put levers on strikes me as overreach," Joslyn says.
There won't be a doorknob "police squad busting into homes," Consumerist writes, but "all new housing construction will have to comply with the updated code and use lever handles and faucets. So if you've got a knob, you can keep it. Cherish it, call it your precious, whatever you want," the website says.
Even so, The Sun says:
"It is not like the doorknob will disappear entirely. Like many inventions, it will hold its own for a long, long time. There are, after all, a few people who still use typewriters instead of computers. Vancouver's rule is not retroactive to existing homes. But over time, the effect will become magnified as housing is replaced."
Updated Friday at 4:15 p.m.: On Friday, All Things Considered host Robert Siegel talked to Tom Lee, City Hall reporter for The Vancouver Sun about the change. You can hear that interview by clicking play above.
You know the saying: What goes around comes around? How about: What goes and comes around goes away? At least it's starting to go away in Vancouver, British Columbia. I'm referring to the door knob. Starting next year, doors in new buildings, and that includes houses, must be fitted with levers, not round knobs. The idea is to make doors easier to open and close if you're older or if you have arthritis, or some other disability.
Jeff Lee covers City Hall for the Vancouver Sun and he joins us now. He's written about this.
And, Jeff Lee, first you should explain to us Vancouver has a unique authority over buildings in the city.
JEFF LEE: It does. It's actually the only city in Canada that has its own building code. Vancouver, as the owner of its own building code, actually ends up setting a lot of the standards across Canada. When they make a change here because of something that they find is wanting, often the provincial code writers or the national code in Ottawa, they then chase it into their codes.
SIEGEL: Well, when did the doorknob come to be seen as wanting in Vancouver?
LEE: Well, actually I think the doorknob has been seen wanting for a long time in a lot of cities. I mean, if you think about it, think of any office building that you go into. You'll see quite often levers. The lever has been around for a long, long time - as a matter of fact, actually predates the doorknob. Levers though have just started to come back into vogue as we've discovered, that as we get older, it's harder to open doors.
SIEGEL: Well, what has been reaction in Vancouver to this?
LEE: Oh. Well, the reaction in Vancouver, you know, a lot of people have said: What are you talking about? I think it's the idea that a government is telling you what you can have and have not. I'm getting a lot of calls from people who are saying: Are these guys nuts?
SIEGEL: I gather that the city of Vancouver actually began replacing its doorknobs sometime ago.
LEE: Yes, I've covered City Hall for many years. And, you know, they have these beautifully ornate knobs. The building was built in 1936. It's a heritage art deco style. And sometime last year, I went to open up a door there and, by golly, there's no doorknob there. And it was, in fact, a replacement lever. And so I asked someone: What happened to the doorknobs? Because there were these beautiful brass door knobs that have the VCH embossed into the front of it - for Vancouver City Hall. And they said, oh, well, you know, we had to replace them for accessibility reasons. And I said, really? And the next thing I know they had presented me with a pair of doorknobs, that they had taken off and put into storage. And they're going on my house.
SIEGEL: You have written though - you have quoted in an article the architect described the door handle as the handshake of a building.
LEE: Yes.
SIEGEL: It's actually very lyrical description of that, hadn't thought of it. Is there a new outburst of nostalgia for doorknobs since they've been shown the door?
LEE: Holy smokes - let me tell you. Yes, there's nostalgia there. I mean there's nobody who's saying, look, the city should put its doorknobs back on.
SIEGEL: Well, Jeff Lee, it seems that you by your writing have single-handedly enhanced the value of doorknobs all over Canada, if not North America.
LEE: I don't know if that's a legacy that I really care to...
LEE: ...to have.
SIEGEL: Well, thanks for talking with us just the same.
LEE: You're welcome.
SIEGEL: Jeff Lee, who covers City Hall for the Vancouver Sun.

The selection of Joi Ito as Director of the MIT Media Lab in 2011 was a departure from the norm. A former nightclub DJ and college dropout turned venture capitalist, Ito is a selfmade entrepreneur, visionary, "adventure capitalist", tech guru. In recent interviews, Ito has shared his approach to innovation now that he is at the helm of one of the world's top computing science labs. Reading his words is like encountering a blueprint for how I need (and want) to be and do in my studio. Creativity is creativity after all, but it is comforting—and less isolating—when science and art spill over into each other's worlds.
Here are some excerpts from a recent post that demonstrate some of those commonalities:
It has always been my opinion that "education" is something people do to you, whereas "learning" is something you do for yourself. Consequently, the only thing I learned in school was typing. In the old days, people like me who don't have college degrees had a hard time thriving in society. But today, the ability to learn on your own or from your peers has become really easy. I think this change is leading to a fundamental disruption in education. Independent and lifelong learning are really starting to peak—there is an inflection point coming around how people learn.
I don't believe in futurists that much anymore—they are usually wrong. I'm calling myself a "nowist," and I'm trying to figure out how to build up the ability to react to anything. In other words, I want to create a certain agility. The biggest liability for companies now is having too many assets; you need to learn how to be fluid and agile.
It's kind of a spiritual thing. You want to have your peripherals wide open and adapt as quickly as you can. I think that will be an important survival trait of people and companies in the future…What I'm searching for are people and things that don't fit anywhere: The misfits of society."
A nowist. What a great word to also describe what a "trust the process" artist strives for. The ability to react to anything. To be agile. Fluid. And a bit of a misfit.
And yes, I would agree with Ito: It IS kind of a spiritual thing.

International Students and Scholars
Davis United World College Scholar
Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific (Canada)
I was born in Ethiopia, but my family moved to Germany when I was four years old. From a leaflet that one of my teachers read out loud I first heard about the United World Colleges. I was immediately fascinated by the movement and still consider my acceptance one of the happiest days of my life. In my two years at Lester B. Pearson College, I lived and learned with brilliant and diverse students from more than 100 different countries, which was a truly transformational experience. UWC had a great impact on me; it helped me mature and develop and, above all, realize that there is more than one answer to most questions, more than one idea that is worth being considered, more than one opinion worth listening to. I found myself trying so many new things and becoming more spontaneous. Hence, I have come to learn that even though new things may be intimidating at the beginning, and there is always the possibility of failing in them, it is extremely valuable to have those experiences and to learn from them.
I've been part of the drama activity in my school for several years and I really enjoy doing theatre. I always loved the challenge of switching into different roles. Even though I've never learned to play an instrument, recently I developed a love for the piano. I tried to teach it to myself, which didn't work so well, but I am planning on continuing until I can write my own piece and play it on the piano. For many years I've tried many different sports and the ones I loved most were tennis and soccer. I plan on starting to play tennis again. Outside of school, I also did a lot of community service. Last summer I volunteered in France at an organization called Emmaus, which was an incredible experience. Tutoring was also something I did for many years and enjoyed. I helped mostly children with an immigrant background, who had language difficulties and whose own parents weren't able to help or send them to professional tutoring.
Lewis & Clark College immediately struck me as a place where there are many opportunities to challenge myself. Above all, I chose Lewis & Clark because I felt appreciated as an international student and felt it's the right place for me to pursue my aspirations, which are both academic achievement and personal growth. I think in order to have a voice and to make changes, a good education is essential and that is what I am certain to receive here. As for now, I am planning on majoring in either economics or international affairs. I also hope to have an impact both on the internal campus community through getting involved in student organizations and theatre, and the external Portland community through service activities.

This year, July 4th falls on a Friday, so you'll be celebrating Independence Day with a long weekend. Long holiday weekends in the summer mean one thing: Breaking out the grill and firing up some delicious meals.
In preparation for this occasion, we're forgoing our normal "one recipe per day" format. Today's What's for Dinner? will feature some of our favorite recipes for the grill, sorted out by main ingredient.
As always, let us know what recipes you would add here, and what sides you plan on serving with these dishes in the comments.
Grilled Porterhouse - Thick steak, a bit of olive oil and a grill. That's it. We suggest this pick for Friday, since it's straightforward, requires little prep and leaves you with plenty of time to enjoy the fireworks in the company of friends and family.
Smashed Steak Skewers with Cherry Barbecue Sauce - A bit more flair to this recipe, and a sweet, fruity sauce to boot. If you grill up multiple options from our list, be sure to portion this one out among your guests, so there's no "meat overload!"
Sirloin Burgers with Balsamic Mayo, Mushrooms and Swiss - It's a holiday; you're allowed to go big to celebrate. Get yourself some big, juicy burgers and pile the mushrooms and cheese high, just like our photo of this dish.
Beer-Can Chicken with Dry Rub - Making a recipe your own has never been easier. You pick the canned beer you use to add flavor to this chicken dish. If you need a hand, though, we recommend something with wheat or citrus notes.
Chicken Breasts with Sweet and Spicy Maple Glaze - We're suckers for a good glaze. Not only does it keep the chicken flavorful, but this pick layers on the flavor, as well.
North Carolina-style Pulled Pork Sandwich - We're taking a cue from another East Coast state with this pick. It's actually three recipes in one: The pork, the sauce and the 'slaw. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
Stuffed boneless pork chops with bacon and smoked gouda - This pick has our mouth watering. A flavor explosion waiting to happen, in our opinion! Just remember to pull the toothpicks before enjoying.
Salmon with Herbed Butter Sauce - Fish on the grill can be a bit of a trick, but just follow this recipe for smokey, delicious salmon. The herbed butter sauce adds a bit of a kick!
Swordfish Steaks with Pompeian Vinaigrette - You know those bold recipes that drop the word "best" in the title? This swordfish dish takes it a step further: The article claims it is the perfect grilled swordfish. Not that we're complaining; that vinaigrette sounds amazing!
Added Bonus
Be sure to check out this article detailing the best way to grill chicken, beef, fish, pork and more. It also has some handy tips for maintaining, cleaning and storing your grill.

China's 2013 Growth In Gross Domestic Product Dips To 7.5% In Second Quarter From 7.7% In First Quarter
Growth of China's gross domestic product dipped to 7.5 percent in the second quarter from 7.7 percent in the first quarter this year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
The drop was anticipated by most analysts, as noted by BBC News.
Growth of China's GDP in the first half overall was 7.6 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics said.
"These figures are not surprising, adding to signs of downward pressure on China's economy," Zhou Hao, an economist at ANZ Bank in Shanghai, was quoted as saying by Reuters.

State weighs offering psychiatry students incentives
State weighs offering psychiatry students incentives
With Iowa facing a psychiatrist shortage, one lawmaker thinks giving income tax breaks to psychiatry students will be enough to encourage them to practice in the state.
Republican Rep. Dave Heaton's bill was reviewed by the House Ways and Means Committee this week.
It would waive state income taxes for psychiatrists with school debt who choose to practice in medically underserved areas of Iowa.
Some lawmakers wonder if offering a tax break is enough to entice psychiatrists to stay.
Iowa's psychiatrist shortage comes in the middle of sweeping changes to the county-based mental health system.
Gov. Terry Branstad has proposed a $2 million plan to repay medical school loans for 20 doctors who practice in rural Iowa for five years.

Depth carries Prospect to triangular win
Prospect's top all-around gymnast, Gianna Scala, was limited to one event at Wednesday's Mid-Suburban League East triangular.
But the Knights still rolled.
Sophomore Maddie Larock took first in the all-around (36.05) leading host Prospect to the first-place finish with 138.35 points.
Hersey took second with 121.45 points followed by Wheeling (118.30 points).
Scala earned first-place honors on the vault (9.35) in the opening series. Then the junior let her teammates do the rest.
Larock stepped up, cruising to first on the bars (9.3), beam (8.4), and floor (9.4) in pushing the young Knights' effort.
"We were able to pull it out even without Gianna," said Larock, who added a third-place finish on the vault (8.95). "Adding her to the mix will just make us stronger."
After a shaky beam series, the Knights closed the meet with a flourish, placing flour girls in the top five on the floor.
Freshman Candice Melendez (9.15) followed Larock with a second-place finish on the floor.
Junior Jackie Difonzo (9.0), and sophomore Maddie Boldt (8.7) were fourth and fifth, respectively.
"We really picked it up at the end," said Difonzo. "It really helps having girls able to step up and contribute."
"After the beam we really rocked on the floor," said Prospect coach Randy Smith. "It was a nice way to clean up."
Prospect got a big lift from Boldt, who tied for second on the bars (8.95). Freshman Oliva Sullo added a fourth-place finish on the vault (8.55).
Junior Annie Johnson paced Hersey by taking second in the all-around 35.45.
Last year Johnson missed a chunk of the regular season due to an injury but the Huskies junior showed her skills on Wednesday, taking second on vault (9.2) and beam (8.2), tying for second on bars (8.95) with a third-place finish on floor (9.1).
"She is really starting to step up and figure out where her strengths are and what she needs to do to take it to the next level," said Hersey coach Ben Anderson of his junior leader.
Johnson is picking up the pace after being slowed by a dislocated finger early this season. It was the junior's second consecutive strong showing after an impressive performance at the Hersey Invitational on Saturday.
"I'm getting more confident," Johnson said of her progress. "The main goal this year is state. I just need to stay focused."
Wheeling was missing junior Anne Janulis but classmate Annah Meintzer helped fill the gaps by taking third on the beam (8.05) for the Wildcats.
"She finished strong on that routine," said Wheeling coach Nicole Maila, who is seeing improvement with her young squad. "We're trying to build skills and gradually add more difficulty to our attack."

My niece is showing me how it's done. In fact, she's showing us all.
It took me many years, countless personal growth books, and lots of money before I could GET what she's just going ahead and DOING right now.
And she isn't even in high school yet! Nor has she read a single book on letting go of fear or building self-esteem!
For the past three summers, she bypassed the hours-for-dollars path of the typical tween, and created leverage instead. She combined her skills and talents (Babysitting, Creativity, and Enthusiasm) with a market need (Moms with bored kids who are driving them crazy). She created a week-long "Groovy Girls Day Camp" 8 year old girls in her neighborhood. The day camp happened at her house.
She built the Groovy Girls camp around fun activities. Each day was dedicated to a different topic: "Candy Day," "Fashion Day," etc. There were projects completed, videos made, pictures taken, prizes awarded. She taught them, led them, and made them happy. She even posted everything on a website that she created from a basic template – so that at the end of each day, parents could see pictures of their little girls, and get reports on the day's activities.
And here's the cool thing:
In one week, she made what most little girls her age make all summer. And she's passionate about her work and good at what she does. PLUS, the girls (and moms) are happy with her services.
Now, I coach people how to create profitable businesses and uplevel existing businesses. With that said, I meet a lot of people who, in a burst of motivation at a party, want me to help them figure out how to create their own business. Within minutes, I can find a starting place, and map out a business idea that makes the person really excited. But rarely do these people take even the first steps.
This is why I love watching my niece. Yea, I know. She doesn't have all the bills, challenges, and time constraints that you have. But you know what? She also doesn't have the excuses either. She just took the first steps, created her vision, marketed and made her offer. (That's all any of us do, really!)
So, here's the good news:
You don't have to "have a business" to make extra money. You can start with what you've got in front of you.
So, let's make it THAT easy – and see what you could do to make money doing what you love. Here's the steps to take:
1 – Define It.
Define your skills, talents, and passions.
Throw it all out there. What are you good at? What do you love? Take some time to let this drift around in your head. It doesn't have to come out in one writing session. Record yourself talking about it. Meet up with a friend and share your ideas with her. Let this idea roll around for a while.
When I was a full-time performing songwriter, I realized how much I LOVED connecting with the women in my audience after the show and helping them discover their own passion. So, I began facilitating women's retreats each year.
I share this so you'll understand that the only limits here are in your head. (Believe me, there wasn't a lot of support in the music biz for a songwriter doing personal growth retreats. It was a combination of things that only I loved.) Don't limit yourself!
Here's a list of some skills and talents you might have:
Pet Sitting
Dog Walking
Managing Household Projects
2 – Package It.
Package your idea.
How will you offer it? A day-long retreat? A workshop? A monthly subscription service? A workbook? Again, there are no limits. What will you charge? How many people will you allow? Who are those people? What age groups?
With the example of my retreats, I had to sit down and figure out how long they would be. I had to create the lay-out of each day. I had to map out a way to combine my teaching and coaching – as well as silence and experiences for the women. I certainly didn't do it perfectly at first – but I got better and better at it. So will you.
3 – Offer It.
Put the word out there. Use every resource available to you. Craigslist, people in your office, relatives and friends. Let the world know what you are offering.
Warning: This is where you'll be tempted to pull back and play small. "Oh, I couldn't possibly do that!" You MUST let go of this fear. When you have a service to offer, and you know you're good at it – then you provide value that needs to be shared so that people can choose to work with you! Don't hide your light!
No business idea stays the same once it gets going. You will always be tweaking, adapting and dealing with challenges. (Hey, even my niece had to alter the prize-giving activities because one of her groovy girls locked herself in the bathroom sobbing and wouldn't come out.) Any creative idea is dynamic. Expect changes. But remember: You can change course if you're not moving!
These four steps can take as much or as little time as you want. You can put the word out and have customers rolling in by the end of the week.
Will you be nervous? Will it expand you? Will you be challenged? Absolutely! But you'll also make money doing what you love. And there's nothing better than that. Even my niece let me know she never plans on getting a job.
Now THAT is groovy!
