2006 Isuzu i-Series reviews
March 10, 2006 08:53 AM EST | Isuzu , Trucks/Pickups | Email to Friend | Comments (0)
The Isuzu i-Series is a decent truck but it's outclassed by the latest offerings from Dodge, Nissan and Toyota in the important areas of power, interior room and overall fit and finish.
Handles well on- and off-road, simple controls, side curtain airbags available on both body styles, generous powertrain warranty.
Not much low-end torque, no six- or eight-cylinder engine option, low tow ratings, subpar build and materials quality, limited availability of customizing options.
What's New for 2006
After a five-year hiatus, a compact pickup returns to the Isuzu lineup. Called the i-Series, the truck comes as either an extended-cab or crew-cab body style. Mechanically, it's very similar to the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickups.
As automakers go, Isuzu has been in a deep rut. A lack of money for both new product investment and marketing has forced Isuzu to rely heavily on its corporate partnership with General Motors. This shows up in Isuzu's latest offering, the new i-Series compact pickup.
Built on a tough ladder frame chassis, the i-Series comes in two distinct body styles, is available with either two- or four-wheel drive and is powered by either a four- or five-cylinder engine. The suspension consists of a solid rear axle with leaf springs and an independent coil spring front suspension. If any of this sounds familiar, it's probably because the i-Series is basically a re-skinned version of General Motor's compact pickup, which currently serves duty as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. The Isuzu differs in a few trim pieces, options and, most importantly, its powertrain warranty. The warranty for the i-Series is 7 years or 75,000 miles, while the GM warranty is a more common 3 years/36,000 miles. If you're planning on buying a GM compact pickup and owning it for a long period of time, you'll want to keep the Isuzu's warranty advantage in mind.
There are two versions of the i-Series. The i-280 is an extended-cab pickup with a four-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive. The i-350 is a crew cab only, and it comes with a more powerful five-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive. Extended-cab models feature small reverse-opening rear doors on both sides for easier access, while the larger crew-cab models offer four normal doors and a 60/40-split-folding rear seat that can accommodate three adults. Side curtain airbags are available that provide head protection in the event of a side impact.
On paper, the i-Series offers all the necessary ingredients to satisfy the majority of compact truck buyers. The problem is that the i-Series feels cheap, even in a class of vehicles where functionality and value come before upscale accommodations. The doors are lightweight and tinny, and the first thing you'll notice when you slide behind the wheel is how low-grade the dash looks and rough the upholstery feels. Out on the road, neither the four- or five-cylinder engine provides acceleration on par with V6 and V8 engines offered by the Dodge Dakota, Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma. If you're shopping for a small pickup, make sure you explore all the options before settling on the i-Series.
Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options:
The i-Series comes in extended- and crew-cab body styles. The extended-cab model has a 6-foot bed, while the crew cab gets a 5-foot bed. There are three basic trim levels: i-280 S, i-280 LS and i-350 LS. The i-280 S is an extended-cab configuration, and comes with air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo, vinyl seating and vinyl floor covering. An S Plus Preferred Equipment package adds carpeting, cloth seats, rear jump seats with storage compartments, a CD player and tinted windows. The LS model adds power windows, locks and mirrors; keyless entry; tilt steering wheel; cruise control; six speakers; and bucket seats. The Luxury package includes a six-disc CD changer, traction control (2WD only), a locking rear differential, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, foglamps, a sliding rear window and side curtain airbags. The i-350 LS is equipped much the same as the i-280 LS. An available Limited Package for the i-350 LS adds a six-disc CD changer, dual power heated seats, leather upholstery, auto-dimming rearview mirror, sliding rear window and a moonroof.
Powertrains and Performance:
A 2.8-liter, four-cylinder engine is standard on the i-280 and is rated at 175 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. The 3.5-liter inline-five engine is included on the i-350 and offers 220 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, but a four-speed automatic is also available on all models. The i-280 is rear-wheel drive and the i-350 has a four-wheel-drive powertrain. The i-350's 4WD system is push-button shift-on-the-fly and offers low-range gearing. Maximum towing capacity, at 4,000 pounds, is relatively meager for this class of truck.
Roof-mounted side curtain airbags are optional on both body styles. Four-wheel antilock brakes are standard, and traction control is optional on 2WD trucks. In government crash tests, the similar Chevy Colorado earned four stars (out of five) for both the driver and front passenger in frontal-impact testing, and four out of five stars in side-impact testing for front passengers, and five stars for rear passengers.
Interior Design and Special Features:
Trucks may have gotten more hospitable in recent years, but don't expect anything fancy in the i-Series' cabin. Materials range from average to substandard in quality, and build quality is inconsistent. On the plus side, simple rotary climate controls and a large stereo faceplate make the interior seem instantly familiar as soon as you get in. The gauges are similarly basic, but functional in their design.
Driving Impressions:
The inline engines are reasonably refined, but their lack of off-the-line punch and odd exhaust notes are disappointing compared to the larger V6s offered in competitors. Shifts from the four-speed automatic are firm and well timed, and the five-speed manual gearbox is about as good as you're going to find in a compact truck. The suspension tuning is on the soft side, but the i-Series handles well for its class.

Oceans and Coasts
Toxic Oceans: Scientists Propose Plan to Stop Acidification
Almost Dead
Almost completely dead reefs, covered with bacterial slime, in Papua New Guinea.
"If we were to continue producing carbon dioxide at the rate we are now, by mid-century every coral reef in this world will stop growing. They will all be going backwards."
Charlie Veron, coral reef expert
"There is hope for corals if we act now."
Rod Salm, director of tropical marine conservation for the Conservancy's Asia-Pacific program
By Naomi Sodetani
Increasing global carbon dioxide emissions are not just damaging the Earth's climate, but eroding coral reefs, our rainforests of the sea.
According to scientists at the 2008 International Coral Reef Symposium, acidification is the greatest threat that oceans face today.
In response to this looming threat, the Conservancy recently convened a workshop with some of the world's leading climate and marine scientists and coral reef managers to come up with ways to help coral reefs worldwide survive ocean acidification.
The meeting led to the Honolulu Declaration, an action plan that includes:
- limiting fossil fuel emissions,
- reducing stress on reefs, and
- creating marine protected areas to build resilience of tropical marine ecosystems.
Acidification Causes "Osteoporosis of the Reef"
"The reefs of the world are at risk," says Rod Salm, director of tropical marine conservation for the Conservancy's Asia-Pacific program and presenter of the Honolulu Declaration at the August 27 U.S. Coral Reef Task Force meeting.
Corals, says Salm, are increasingly besieged by the "triple threat" impacts brought on by climate change — rising sea levels, temperatures and now, ocean acidification.
How does more carbon dioxide in the air impact marine resources?
The ocean absorbs about one-third of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which dissolves in seawater. This causes an increase in acidification and a decrease in the amount of carbonate available for corals and other calcifying marine organisms, like plankton and mollusks, to build their skeletons.
An acidic environment makes corals brittle and weaker, crippling their ability to grow, reproduce and resist disease. A disturbing aspect of this threat is its invisible stealth. Unlike mass bleaching, acidification is difficult to detect.
"Ocean acidification is creeping, progressive and insidious — like osteoporosis of the reef — a weakening of the reef structure that makes corals more vulnerable to breakage from waves and human use," Salm told the task force.
Scientists Fear Corals Could Be Gone
A decade ago, Joan Kleypas, a scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, had warned of the effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on marine life.
"It is clear that seawater chemistry will change in coming decades and centuries in ways that will dramatically alter marine life," said Kleypas, a workshop participant who signed the Honolulu Declaration.
John "Charlie" Veron, widely respected as the world's foremost coral reef expert, also took part in the workshop and signed the declaration. Over his 40-year career, Veron has identified a quarter of the world's coral species, tracing their evolution back tens of millions of years. He now fears for their demise.
"There's no point in spending a lot of time researching a new species when I know it's going to go extinct," Veron says. His most recent book, A Reef in Time: The Great Barrier Reef from Beginning to End (2008, Harvard University Press), is his Silent Spring for the world's coral reefs.
"If we were to continue producing carbon dioxide at the rate we are now" — a rate unprecedented on this planet, says Veron — "by mid-century every coral reef in this world will stop growing. They will all be going backwards."
The Honolulu Declaration is a "wake up call to say how serious, how urgent it is – but also say, let's do something about it," Veron stresses, "because it can be avoided."
Is There Hope for Our Corals?
Like a ticking time bomb, scientists say that much of the carbon already spewed into the atmosphere will further acidify our oceans for decades to come.
"While the consequences of inaction are too depressing and terrifying to contemplate, there is good news," says Salm.
He notes that the landmark "meeting of minds" created a solid foundation for a new era of coral reef conservation, and that action steps proposed by the group, if quickly enacted, will help to save coral reefs from escalating destruction.
The Honolulu Declaration presents seven policy and eight management recommendations.
"There is hope in what came out of our workshop because we have come up with practical steps people can take that are not hugely costly and will not marginalize progress made," Salm says.
The most practical policy is to mandate that climate change actions, including those addressing rising ocean acidification, sea level and temperatures, be included in marine protected management plans, he says.
According to Salm, we also need to put all efforts possible into reducing stresses on reef systems — stresses from people, boats, overfishing, pollution and other destructive impacts.
The less stressed corals are, the more healthy and resilient they will be and better able to respond to climate changes, says Salm.
The Honolulu Declaration will be presented to the United Nations and other global, regional and national forums to obtain government commitments to address the acidification challenge.
"I think it's very encouraging," Salm adds. "I just hope we're able to buy time for coral reefs while carbon dioxide levels are stabilized and, eventually, rolled back and contained."
"There is hope for corals if we act now."

Billionaire Warren Buffett could play a key role in InBev's bid for Anheuser-Busch.
According to Belgian newspaper De Standaard, Buffett, the world's richest man, not only supports Inbev's offer, he is scheduled to meet Anheuser Chief Executive
If Buffett, whose Berkshire-Hathaway is Aheuser's second-largest investor with 35.3 million shares, or a 5.0% stake, publicly backs InBev's offer, other investors in the American brewer are likely to be take heed, said one analyst who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"If you are an Anheuser shareholder, the offer looks pretty attractive," said Paul Hofman, an analyst with Cheuvreux. "Buffett is a shareholder and he wants the best price for the shares. His backing of the bid seems logical."
Buffett may be interested in a cash offer or even a share swap. While Anheuser's shares have been stagnant since the billionaire's investment in 2005, InvBev's have nearly doubled. And Buffett has recently been scouring Europe for good investments in order to diversify himself out of dollar assets. (See: "Buffett Going Shopping In Europe")
Last week Anheuser-Busch, which was apparently seeking to avoid the embrace of Belgian-Brazilian brewer InBev, got the cold shoulder from Mexican brewer
A deal between InBev and Anheuser would constitute the biggest ever takeover of an alcoholic beverages company and create the world's largest brewer, headquartered in Belgium. InBev itself is the result of an earlier brewing mega-merger, the 2004 amalgamation of Belgium's Interbrew and the Brazi's Ambev. Its brands include Stella Artois and Beck's.
InBev Chief Executive Carlos Brito visited Capitol Hill on Tuesday to promote the takeover. He told reporters the $65 per share offer was the highest the company would bid.
Some analysts have said InBev would have to raise the offer closer to $70 in order to secure the deal.
When asked whether InBev has reached out to Buffett or Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo, Brito said, "Right now we're trying to engage with [the Anheuser-Busch] board; that's the top of the agenda."
Brito has said he hoped for a friendly deal with Anheuser, and would keep the company in St. Louis, Mo. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who serves on the Senate Commerce Committee, did not have a friendly reaction.
McCaskill, who served Budweiser beer to attendees of the discussion, said afterward, "I was very up front I explained to them that I would do everything I could to stop this sale from going through."
The senator said she was concerned the takeover could threaten pensions of Anheuser employees and "good middle-class jobs" the brewer has provided in her state.

On the Religion page of the Jan. 26, edition of The Leader-Union, the Rev. Kurt Simon has written another scholarly article.
The passage he refers to in Luke 14:25-26 has always confounded and disturbed me. How does "hating your family" square with the loving Jesus I was taught. Another similarly confusing text is in Matthew 10:34, where Jesus is quoted as saying, "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." This seems to be at odds with his name of the Prince of Peace.

Serena Williams was thwarted from taking a picture of fellow sports superstar Tiger Woods by a tournament official during Friday's round at the Honda Open. Then, because she's Serena Williams and a little disobedience never hurt anyone, she took one anyway, snapping a stylish shot of Woods' follow-through on the par-3 tee shot.
The top-ranked Williams was standing near the 17th tee box and tried to snap a photo of Woods with her iPhone. An official standing nearby was quick to stop the picture with a wave of the arm. Williams appeared to comply with the order but flashed a puzzled, mischievous look that suggested her efforts weren't finished.
Because tweeting is allowed at PGA tournaments (provided she didn't give shot-by-shot updates), Serena was quick to voice her surprise at golf's Draconian phone rules.
Ok at this Golf tournament. Just saw @TigerWoods I understand NO golf Apparently u can't take pics. This security for mad and yelled at me
Apparently u can't take pictures of golfers. In my Defense peeps always take pics of tennis players.
Seconds later, she snapped the photo of Woods anyway.

Breath-holding & Fainting
Have you ever fainted? I bet you may have not realized how common fainting is in the pediatric age group? I know this from my own children (yes, I had 2 "fainters" and boys no less) as well as from many of my patients.
The medical term for fainting is syncope, and it really is common among children. It starts during the toddler years with breath-holding spells. Many in this age group (up to 50%) will hold their breath when they are hurt or angry.
When a child holds their breath while crying (you can just see it happening in front of you) they will often turn a bit blue and "pass out". This is a type of fainting. This can be very scary for parents who have never seen their precious child have such an attitude and then hold their breath over not getting the cookie? Yes, this is a normal part of being a toddler! They are very emotional and labile at this age (foreshadowing for teen years?) and most toddlers don't have a lot of language yet, so when they get mad or frustrated they just SCREAM! But, while screaming, the child forgets to take a breath, and then the brain and autonomic nervous system takes over and the breath holding leads to fainting.
The breath holding spell, as scary as it is, is just a form of fainting. It will not hurt your child, but it may take your breath away!
My advice? Try not to pay attention to your child if they begin having breath-holding spells. It may be hard to "ignore" the first two or three, but these "spells" usually last for months (maybe years) and you do not need to rush to your child when they hold their breath. By calling attention to the event you may inadvertently reinforce the behavior. As a child gets older, the breath holding will stop (but not the tantrums?) and there will be new behaviors to conquer. Do you have a breath-holder? How do you cope? Let us know!
That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

Lenovo IdeaCentre B320: HDTV, Budget All-in-One, or Just Confused?
Lenovo IdeaCentre B320
PCWorld Rating
On its website, Lenovo bills the IdeaCentre B320 as a "sleek desktop" with "two extreme missions" -- to be an HDTV and to be a PC. Unfortunately, like many things with multiple "extreme missions," the B320 spreads itself too thin, and fails short on both counts.
Our review model, priced at $899, features a Core i5-2500 processor, 4GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon HD 6450A graphics card. It has an impressively large 2TB hard drive--an interesting choice for a computer that's supposed to double as an HDTV, but you'll be able to fit plenty of your ripped movie files on it. It also carries a webcam, a microphone, speakers, and a DVD-RW drive--all built-in. There's no Blu-ray drive, but this is a budget all-in-one PC, after all.
In PCWorld's WorldBench 6 benchmark testing, the B320 received a score of 126--a top mark in the budget all-in-one category. Graphics performance was merely okay: The B320 managed a frame rate of 32.7 frames per second in our high-quality Unreal Tournament test (1680-by-1050-pixel resolution), but just 13.1 fps at the same resolution and quality in our Dirt 2 test. Those frame rates, though not excellent, are fairly standard for the category.
I don't particularly like the B320's design, mainly because I'm not a big fan of large, obvious speakers located below the screen. However, the B320's chassis is sleeker than those of other all-in-ones I've seen with similar speaker designs. A thin, shiny black bezel surrounds the 21.5-inch glossy touchscreen, and a few touch-sensitive buttons occupy the lower right corner. You'll also find non-touch-sensitive indicator lights in the lower left corner.
Situated directly below the screen, the speakers are large and angled, not flush with the table top. (The system is propped up on two small, wide metallic legs.) Because the speakers are matte silver, they're highly visible below the screen. The screen itself leans on a picture-frame like stand, which is thick, heavy, and very sturdy.
Ports are located on the side of the machine, as well as on the back. On the left side, you'll find two USB 2.0 ports, headphone and microphone jacks, and a multicard reader slot. The back accommodates four more USB ports, gigabit ethernet, a PS/2 port (for keyboard), and a TV tuner. The right side of the screen holds a DVD-RW drive and several buttons for going into TV mode, changing TV channels, and adjusting volume--but no ports. The TV mode buttons essentially aim to transform your all-in-one PC into a bona fide HDTV. If you prefer, you can use the built-in Picture-in-Picture mode to watch TV programming in a little box in the lower right corner of your screen (a dedicated PIP button sits on the side of the screen).
The B320 sports a glossy, 21.5-inch touchscreen with a full HD native resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. Images on the screen looked good--colors were bright and clear, and text was crisp--but video was a bit less satisfactory. In my testing, HD video playback (both streaming and native) showed a lot of blocky artifacts and general noise. The touchscreen itself seemed quite accurate; it wasn't the most sensitive, accurate screen I've used, but it ranks pretty high on the scale.
Included with the B320 are a wireless keyboard and mouse, and a remote control. The keyboard supports basic functions--typical media control buttons--plus the Lenovo Vantage Technology ("LVT") button, which provides access to some custom Lenovo utilities. The keyboard sports a brushed metal background with orange accents. The brushed metal is very attractive; the orange accents, not so much. Though the keys are widely spaced and easy to type on, in my testing they sometimes didn't register, especially when I typed quickly.
The optical wireless mouse is thin and light, has a bunch of extra buttons, and can double as a pointer. Pretty convenient, but far from the most effective mouse I've ever used. For one thing, the mouse/air-pointer is much thinner than a typical mouse, which makes it a bit uncomfortable to use. The mouse/pointer was a little too sensitive to movement, too. I understand that, as a pointer, it needed to be ultrasensitive; but as a mouse--well, let's just say I found myself using the touchscreen a lot.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre B320 is interesting, to say the least. I'm not sure why Lenovo supplied a mouse that doubles as a pointer, since that strikes me as being more of a business machine feature. The machine itself has an unusual mix of attributes--a 21.5-inch screen, so-so video playback, no Blu-ray drive, and yet a big focus on being a media center. The $900 price tag makes it a good fit for a cash-strapped college student in a small dorm room. But if you're looking for a stronger media experience and have a bit more coin to spare, you'll find that a larger machine like the Lenovo IdeaCentre B520 makes a more satisfying investment.

Drawing On Science
A new quiz show premiered on TV called "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader."
The adult contestant has a choice of having one of six ten-year olds to compete against. Questions are shown on a large screen and the contestant has to answer them either on his own or he can "cheat" by copying or peeping at the kid's answer. If the adult misses out or chooses to "drop out of school" he/she must tell the millions of TV viewers that "I am not smarter than a fifth grader."
Now, I must admit that I prefer not to watch quiz shows. I find that if I do know the answers, I can't get them out in time. This makes it somewhat frustrating for me 'competing' against the contestants. But if I were a contestant on this particular show, how hard can it be to win out over a bunch of ten-year old kids; especially when the questions are based on first to fifth grade topics? The questions can't be that hard - can they?
So, I watched the show and answered the questions. But because I am a former teacher and columnist for this paper I must make full disclosure: I am not smarter than a fifth-grader. I messed up on two questions during one of the shows. One concerned the amount of teaspoons in a tablespoon (yeah, okay, so it's three not two) and I bombed out on the other because I exchanged an "e" for the "i" in allegiance . Hey, it happens! In any case I answered all of the other questions correctly.
There were, however, two questions, which were technically wrong to begin with. One question referred to the Periodic Table of Elements where it was asked what the symbol NA stood for. It was answered correctly as sodium, but it does not appear like that on the Table and no chemist writes it like that. It is recognized as Na... the first letter of elements is always capitalized and the second is always in lower case. Okay so I'm being too technical.
But, if one is to learn something at least it should be taught the correct way. How about the number of states of the US that border the Pacific Ocean? The key word here is 'border.' The answer was given as 4 (Oregon, Washington, California and Alaska). But according to the show's host, the correct answer should have been 5... Hawaii is the fifth state bordering the Pacific Ocean. I mulled over this question as I knew the five states associated with or touching the Pacific. Note: I wrote associated not bordering. I didn't consider Hawaii as 'bordering' the ocean in the same context as the other four states since it is a series of islands completely surrounded by the Pacific. This is why such questions should be written/ asked clearly and why, at times, I find some of them sort of tricky to answer.
Now, I have some questions for the reader. Do you know your elementary school science? Are you as smart in science as a fifth grader? See if you can answer the following without looking at the answers; however, if you really need help ask a kid in elementary school. By the way there are no tricky questions here.

18.What comes between the leaves and roots of a plant?
19.True or false: Most fossils are composed of bone.
20.Why does the Earth look blue when seen from outer space?
21.If you are standing on the beach in NYC at exactly 12 noon, in what compass direction is your shadow pointing?
22.True or false: A tomato is a fruit.
23.True or false: Sound travels faster through a liquid than it does through a gas.
24.Polaris is the name of what star?
25.What animal is the largest land carnivore living today?
Answers: 1. shelter; 2. false;
3. pollination; 4. eating; 5. true;
6. evaporation; 7. moisture, clouds, air currents, pressure; 8. a blizzard; 9. the sun; 10. supplies energy to the cell; 11. water; 12. amount of
matter; 13. a spider, it's not an insect; 14. support and protection;
15. a gas; 16. an atom; 17. other cells; 18. a stem; 19. false, most are mineralized; 20. oceans/atmosphere reflect the blue of the color spectrum; 21. north; 22. true; 23. true;

Rick Cleveland's "Tom and Jerry," a short, incomplete piece about two blue-collar Chicago hit men, has been given a first-rate world premiere by the American Blues Theatre.
Rick Cleveland's "Tom and Jerry," a short, incomplete piece about two blue-collar Chicago hit men, has been given a first-rate world premiere by the American Blues Theatre.
Tom (Will Zahrn) is the grizzled veteran in an ugly business. He is trying to teach his eager, high-strung protege, Jerry (Andrew Micheli), how to be a proper hit man. Cleveland's play is a compilation of brief scenes in which Tom and Jerry knock off a variety of victims. Having seen it all, Tom takes each hit in stride. Jerry, however, is anxious to master his craft, so much so that he eventually ignores one of the cardinal rules of the business during a hit. His mistake has unfortunate consequences for both killers. The play needs fuller development. Tom and Jerry are still too sketchy as characters and their relationship too flimsily established to compel our full attention. But Cleveland's effective use of wisecracking humor and his colorful dialogue keep the play afloat despite its unfinished feeling. Credit also must go to director Dexter Bullard and a fine cast. Bullard's brisk pacing and clean, lean staging are just what "Tom and Jerry" requires. Zahrn is immediately believable as the veteran killer Tom. Micheli is both funny and spooky as his young assistant. Marty Higginbotham displays great flexibility playing Tom and Jerry's various victims. James Leaming's set comprises a few tables and chairs that are quickly rearranged throughout the evening to create a variety of settings. Leaming's shadowy lighting and Mark Botelho's unassuming costumes serve the production well.Resident - Tom and Jerry

Work cancer hazards A continually-updated, annotated bibliography of occupational cancer research produced by Hazards, the Alliance for Cancer Prevention and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). Features Graveyard shift An Oxford University study concludes the classification of night work as a cause of breast cancer 'is no longer justified'. Cancer Research UK says women should be 'reassured'. But Hazards discovered the research may have got it seriously wrong, with devastating consequences for prevention. Hazards 136, October-December 2016 Friendly fibre Britain has history on asbestos. It has the highest death rates from asbestos cancers in the world. It is also home to some of the industry's most relied-upon scientists. Hazards editor Rory O'Neill investigates. Hazards 133, January-March 2016 Dead serious With occupational cancer killing at a rate of more than one a minute worldwide, global union leader Sharan Burrow fires a stern warning at rogue employers: "If you expose us, we'll expose you." Hazards 130, April-June 2015 Cancer cause Your cancer may be 100 per cent caused by your job, but a dodgy numbers game played by industry and the courts means in most cases your employer will not bear the cost. Hazards challenges a system that means when it comes to compensation, most cancers don't count. Hazards 130, April-June 2015 Mean test For seven of the top 10 entries on the official UK occupational cancer risk ranking, you can forget about government payouts. Professor Andy Watterson and Hazards editor Rory O'Neill argues that an unjust state compensation scheme means most conditions, including breast cancers linked to shiftwork, will never overcome an arbitrary double-the-risk qualification hurdle and calls for reform of this ailing system. Hazards 129, Jan-March 2015 Lab rats Some scientific hired guns try to hide their industry ties; others flaunt them. Either way cash-for-science can be very bad news for your health. Hazards follows the money. Dust storm A UK conference of dust exposure experts is attracting unwanted attention, reports Hazards editor Rory O'Neill. Professor Ken Donaldson, the scientific chair of Inhaled Particles XI, has been identified in a potential asbestos cancer 'crime-fraud' controversy and accused of having undeclared links to the industry. Cancer costs Andy Watterson warns that official inaction on work-related cancers is consigning thousands to an early grave each year and costing the economy billions. Hazards 120, October-December 2012 This man knows all about cancer Simon Pickvance knows numbers are important. Numbers – statistics, victims – establish priorities. Which is why he's baffled by the Health and Safety Executive's approach to occupational cancer. There's a pervasive lack of willingness to believe things are dangerous – it's a cultural problem about HSE," Pickvance says. Hazards 117, January-March 2012 Death watch Two new official studies have confirmed the long-neglected workplace cancer crisis. But while the US report recommends urgent preventive action, the UK report is just another body count. Hazards 111, July-September 2010 Anatomy of a cancer cover up The UK's official workplace health and safety watchdog is helping the microelectronics industry cover up worrying evidence of occupational cancer risks, a campaign group has charged. Phase Two, which represents workers who believe their health was damaged by exposures at National Semiconductor's (NSUK) plant in Greenock, Scotland, was speaking out on the 24 August 2010 publication of a Health and Safety Executive-backed study into cancer rates at the factory. Samsung's shame After the leukaemia death this year of 23-year-old Samsung worker Park Ji-yeon, the company went on Twitter to offer sympathy. But the electronics giant, which is being blamed by campaigners for a cancer cluster in its Korean factories, is insisting Samsung's problem is not one of chemicals, but of communication. Hazards 110, April-June 2010 While you were sleeping There's lots of advice on what we work with and where we work, from chemicals to work at heights. But when it comes to when we work, it's an entirely different matter – and, says Andrew Watterson, for shiftworkers that could be a serious problem. Hazards 106, April-June 2009 • News release Discounting cancers New reports have confirmed HSE's estimates of occupational cancer risks fall way short. Hazards says the watchdog should get its act together before another working generation pay with their lives. Hazards 99, July - September 2007 Burying the evidence - How the UK is prolonging the occupational cancer epidemic The UK authorities are failing to acknowledge or deal effectively with an epidemic of work-related cancers. The government's Health and Safety Executive is underestimating the exposed population, the risks faced as a result of those exposures and the potential for prevention. Hazards report, 25 June 2007 • Cancer Prevention Coalition news release Global: Hidden cancer epidemic kills hundreds of thousands each year A worldwide epidemic of occupational cancer is claiming at least one life every 52 seconds, but this tragedy is being ignored by both official regulators and employers. A new cancer prevention guide, reveals that over 600,000 deaths a year – one death every 52 seconds – are caused by occupational cancer, making up almost one-third of all work-related deaths. IMF News Release, 23 March 2007 • BWI news release • A union guide to cancer prevention (pdf) • Hazards Cancer Prevention Kit Scientist played down work cancer risks A world-famous British scientist failed to disclose that he held a paid consultancy with a chemical company for more than 20 years while investigating cancer risks in the industry. Sir Richard Doll, the celebrated epidemiologist, was receiving a consultancy fee of $1,500 a day in the mid-1980s from chemical multinational Monsanto. Hazards magazine, 16 December 2006 Breathtaking Asbestos diseases kill thousands in the UK every year. But these are not just statistics, they are all stories of pain, hardship and bereavement. Hazards 94, May 2006 [pdf] • asbestos webpage Burying the evidence Britain is facing a cancer epidemic which has been almost entirely missed in official statistics. Hazards reports on an occupational cancer crisis that is killing 50 people every day and calls for an urgent and fully resourced public health response. Hazards 92, October-December 2005 Who pays when cancer strikes? In 1977 Hazards warned that a Derbyshire PVC factory could have put workers at risk of developing cancer at the end of the century. It took local trade union research this year to confirm the factory's former workforce has been decimated by disease .Hazards 64, October-December 1998
Britain: Work cancer kills two an hour round the clock Alliance for Cancer Prevention The Alliance is a multi-stakeholder group which includes representatives from: NGOs, trade unions, environmental and occupational health organisations, public health advocates and civil society groups, working together on cancer prevention. We aim to; challenge the existing perception of control and treatment of cancer being the best way forward; get equal recognition for primary prevention and ensure that the cancer establishment acknowledges the environmental and occupational risk factors for preventable cancers.

Plats For State Land Grants 1784-1868
This series consists of recorded copies of plats for state land grants for the Charleston and the Columbia Series with their certificates of admeasurement or certification. All personal names and geographic features on these plats are included in the repository's On-line Index to Plats for State Land Grants
The South Carolina Constitution of 1790 required the surveyor general to maintain offices in both the new capital at Columbia and in Charleston. The surveyor general began to use separate volumes for recording plats in his Columbia office in 1796. Before that, all plats were recorded in the set of volumes begun in Charleston in 1784. After 1796, most plats for land grants in the Upper Division of the state were recorded and filed in Columbia. The surveyor general chose to make the Columbia volumes a continuation of the state plat volumes begun in Charleston and gave the initial Columbia volume the number thirty-six to correspond with the number of the volume that had then been reached in the Charleston series. As a result, there are volumes numbered thirty-six through forty-three from each office, but the records in them are not duplicative.
Also included are the Plan Books containing Plats and Plans.

Stoll is second in stroke play
WOODBURN - Gigi Stoll's magical summer took a slight detour last week, but only a slight one.
Stoll, 14 and a Beaverton resident, had already won the Oregon Amateur golf championship for the girls 15-17 age division, and the Bob Norquist Oregon Junior Amateur.
While Stoll didn't win her most recent venture - the Oregon Junior Stroke Play Championship at the OGA Golf Course - she came pretty darn close. Battling rival Monica Vaugn of Reedsport, Stoll rallied from a five-shot deficit to chop Vaugn's lead to one late in the third round of the tournament on July 7.
But Vaughn steadied herself with a par on the OGA course's 15th hole while Stoll made bogey, and she used that edge to hang on and win by two strokes. Vaughn shot an even-par 70-72-74-216 while Stoll ended her tournament at 73-73-72-218.
Nonetheless, both Stoll and Vaughn's efforts helped them earn spots on the Girls Junior Americas Cup team, where they'll be joined by Morgan Thompson of Tualatin and Caroline Inglis of Eugene. Vaughn, Thompson and Inglis are all returning members of the Junior America's Cup team, while Stoll will be making her first appearance. Stoll earned enough points last year to make the team, but because she was just 13, was ineligible to compete.
Team captain Mary Harrington noted, 'this team ranks as one of the strongest (teams) I've ever had,' she said. 'Our girls are really proud to represent the state of Oregon. We'd like to medal and I think we have a good chance of winning.'
The Girls Junior America Cup will be July 26-28 at Genoa Lakes Golf Club and Resort near Lake Tahoe, Nev.

I've been interested in the Westone 4 or UM3x for a long time, but only now have a chance to get them... either.
I love the DBA-02 (and B2), and wonder how either of these Westones compare.
Anyone out there have both (DBA and Westone), and can discuss the differences or similarities in the overall sound (and comfort)?
More extension in the bass, less bass, tighter bass, etc.
Greater or lesser detail in the highs, extension, etc.
Mids / vocal realism.
Acoustic instrument realism.
I listen mostly to acoustic music from high res sources. Some rock & other.
Soundstage is not relevant here.
I have the UM2, so comparison's there would also be helpful. I have no issue with the UM2 fit or comfort.
