Sarubbi took a leave of absence after freshman fall to train and compete. She skis with the help of a guide, who navigates in front of her and communicates directions through a headset...
That's a long time to wait for definitive data. The good news is that there are easy ways for those concerned about RF radiation to cut down on exposure. Using your cell phone's speaker or connecting a wired headset - while keeping the handset away from your body - drastically reduces RF exposure. (Bluetooth headsets help too, but they still emit some radiation.) And given the potentially more serious risks for children, who have thinner skulls than adults, parents might want to wait before handing teens their first phone - or at least ensure they use it mostly for texting...
...class’s peppy blonde instructor, Cristina Hoff, sported a fanny pack and fuschia headset, and began by teaching the group how to execute one of the dance’s signature moves: the iconic hand flip. Balanced on the balls of their feet, with heads tilted down, students punched the air in unison and, after only a few minutes, had let loose. The “Sasha ferocity” was palpable, with one participant even donning the black long-sleeved leotard and black tights seen in the music video...
...Consider the record: First, passengers on United Flight 93 prevented a further attack on Washington on 9/11. Then, three months later, American Airlines passengers wrestled a belligerent, biting Richard Reid to the ground, using their headset cords to restrain him. In 2007, almost a dozen passengers jumped on a gun-wielding hijacker aboard a plane in the Canary Islands. And this past November, passengers rose up against armed hijackers over Somalia. Together, then, a few dozen folks have helped save some 595 lives. {See the top 10 inept terrorist Plots...
Better, long-term research is needed - and it can't come from the cell-phone industry. (Some scientists have suggested levying a $1 surtax on phones to fund new studies.) For now, you can use a Bluetooth or wired headset or simply talk on your cell phone less to reduce the amount of radiation that bombards your skull. You can also choose a low-radiation cell phone; the EWG has created a searchable online database that ranks the radiation levels of more than 1,200 models. (Sorry, Apple fans, your iPhone ranks pretty high.) And finally, take a cue from...
