This invention is directed to mercury vapor arc discharge lamps in which the arc discharge takes place in mercury vapor, including conventional phosphor fluorescent lamps and more particularly to avoidance of mercury pollution of landfills and groundwaters upon disposal of such lamps and during testing for leaching of toxic materials from such lamps and to compositions of matter which include metal complexing agents useful in preventing the formation of leachable mercury in disposal and testing procedures. The lamps provided herein are characterized by reduced solubilization and leaching of mercury when the lamp is pulverized for testing or upon disposal.
Low pressure mercury arc discharge lamps are standard lighting means which include electrodes sealed in a glass envelope, the interior of which may be coated with a phosphor. The lamp also contains a small amount of mercury and an inert gas at low pressure, of about 1 to 5 torr. The term lamp, as used herein, means the complete unit including the glass envelope and the end pieces and plugs for mounting in a lamp fixture, and wires which connect the internal components of the envelope with the end pieces.
During manufacture of fluorescent or low pressure mercury arc lamps an amount of elemental mercury (Hg0) is sealed in the lamp envelope. Most of the mercury adheres to the phosphor coating, a small amount being in the vapor phase.
During operation, alkali metal carbonates from the electrodes decompose and form free oxygen in the lamp. The oxygen can react with a portion of the mercury to form soluble mercury oxide (HgO). Soluble mercury oxide is leachable from landfills and other disposal facilities. Soluble mercury oxides or other oxidized forms of mercury generated or produced in the course of the test are detrimental to the accuracy and the reliability of the standard test for determination of the leachability of toxic materials from lamp waste. This test is generally referred to as the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure or TCLP test.
There is concern about the environmental impact of soluble mercury compounds which can leach into ground water sources, rivers, streams, and the like.
Ferric and cuprous ions form soluble compounds which are capable of oxidizing elemental mercury to the monovalent, mercurous, form which is soluble in an acidic aqueous environment and therefore leachable. The formation of ferric and cuprous compounds depend on exposure to and reaction with oxygen. Complexing agents which bind ferric and cuprous ions alter the oxidation/reduction potentials of the ions so that their oxidizing power is reduced. Such compounds, either organic or inorganic, incorporated in the lamp reduce oxidizing power of ferric and cuprous compounds, thereby greatly reducing or preventing the formation of leachable mercurous and mercuric compounds resulting from oxidation of elemental mercury.
The invention provides a mercury vapor discharge lamp comprising an envelope of light transmitting glass which contains, an inert gas and an amount of elemental mercury, a pair of electrodes for establishing an arc discharge, and an effective amount of at least one metal complexing agent.
The lamp further comprises at least one base or end cap which defines a cavity having an inner surface, and which is secured to the lamp envelope by a basing cement, the complexing agent being disposed within said cavity. Generally such lamps have a pair of end caps.
The complexing agent is admixed with the basing cement securing the end caps in place on the glass envelope.
The invention further provides complexing agent containing compositions which can be included in the lamp structure for the purpose of controlling oxidation potentials of iron and copper in order to minimize or prevent formation of soluble mercury compounds, thereby reducing or preventing formation of water soluble leachable mercury compounds in landfills or TCLP test samples.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mercury vapor discharge lamp is provided with an complexing agent carried on the inner surface of the cavity by means of an inert water soluble adhesive binder.
FIG. 1 is a partially broken away section of a low pressure mercury fluorescent lamp 1 comprising a glass envelope 2 having a phosphor coating 9 on the inner surface of the glass. Connector pins 6 are in electrical contact with leads 4 and 5 and also with electrodes 3.
In FIGS. 2 and 3 the end caps are shown as 2, corresponding to numeral 8 of FIG. 1. The end cap is provided with connector pins 6 and complexing agent 8 deposited in the cavity of end cap 2.
The incorporation of complexing agents in a lamp structure or in the TCLP test solution reduces the oxidation potentials of iron and copper from metal components to a form which is soluble but not capable of oxidizing elemental mercury to a soluble form of mercury oxide. Accordingly there is a reduction or prevention of leachable mercury compounds.
The formation of leachable mercury when fluorescent lamps are broken and exposed to landfill conditions can be prevented or minimized by preventing oxidation of certain components of the lamp. Certain metal components of fluorescent lamps particularly iron-containing lead wires, copper coated leads, and any brass components generate ferric (Fe+3) and cuprous (Cu+1) ions when exposed to moisture, oxygen, and acidity.
In order to address the growing concern that excessive amounts of mercury from disposal of fluorescent lamps might leach into surface and subsurface bodies of water, the Environmental Protection Agency has established a maximum concentration level for mercury at 0.2 milligrams of leachable mercury per liter. This is generally determined by the standard analysis known as the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), a well known test procedure.
In carrying of the TCLP test, the lamps are pulverized to form lamp waste material similar to that which would result from lamp disposal in landfills or other disposal locations. The ambient conditions in such locations may be such as to promote formation of leachable mercury just as the TCLP test conditions themselves tend to allow for formation of leachable mercury in amounts greater than the established limit of 0.2 milligrams per liter.
It has been found that elemental mercury added to mercury-free pulverized lamp materials prepared for the TCLP test is converted to leachable mercury in the course of the test. If elemental mercury alone or in combination with various glass, phosphor, or non-metal lamp components is tested, little or essentially no leachable mercury is found. When elemental mercury is tested in combination with metal lamp components such as copper or iron, lead wires, pins, or other metal hardware, the mercury is transformed into a leachable form.
It was determined by controlled experimentation that both ferric iron (trivalent) and cuprous (monovalent) copper are generated under the TCLP test conditions when carried out in the presence of oxygen and that these ionic species are able to oxidized elemental mercury to soluble mercury compounds which are measured as leachable mercury.
Corrosion or dissolution of metals from the metallic state requires the presence of both oxygen and a solvent such as water conditions that exist in the TCLP test and landfill situations.
Organic or inorganic metal complexing agents incorporated into fluorescent lamps during manufacture become operative in the course of preparing lamps for the TCLP test or upon destruction of the lamp during disposal. The presence of such complexing agents will make the TCLP test more accurate and reliable and will reduce the formation of soluble mercury compounds when the lamps are disposed of.
Suitable complexing agents include any metal chelating materials, compounds, or compositions which reduce the activity of ferric and cuprous ions in the mercury-containing environment. Illustrative complexing agents include sodium gluconate and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) or a salt thereof, and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). Sodium gluconate is a preferred complexing agent for use in this invention.
The principles and practice of this invention will be more fully understood when considered in view of the following examples.
All TCLP test data was obtained by the test procedure prescribed on pages 26987-26998 volume 55, number 126 of the Jun. 29, 1990 issue of the Federal Register.
Briefly, lamps being tested are pulverized into particulate form having the prescribed particle size which is capable of passing through 3/8 inch sieve. The test material is then extracted with a sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer at a pH of about 4.93.
To prevent the spurious formation of leachable mercury upon disposal of mercury vapor discharge lamps and to improve the reliability of the TCLP test an effective amount of complexing agent is incorporated in the lamp structure, for example within the glass envelope exterior to the plasma discharge or in an end-cap, or in the base of the lamp. An effective amount of the complexing agent is that amount which will substantially prevent formation of ferric and cupric compounds which can oxidize elemental mercury to a soluble form. In general, an effective amount of the complexing agent will be enough for the TCLP test results to show the presence of less than about 0.2 parts per million of leachable mercury.
The formation of soluble mercury compounds is illustrated by the data in Table 1, below. Carrying out the TCLP test in the presence of air generates about 1 part per million of copper and about 0.3 parts per million of soluble iron. The amount of soluble mercury formed under these conditions exceeds the regulatory limit of 0.2 parts per million. Increasing the exposure to oxygen increases the amount of soluble copper and soluble mercury formed. Decreasing exposure to oxygen decreases the formation of soluble copper and soluble mercury
TABLE I______________________________________Gas Type Soluble Cu ppm Soluble Hg ppm______________________________________Air 1.07 0.777Argon 0.06 <0.050Oxygen 3.04 1.030______________________________________
When the amount of oxygen is varied by increasing the volume of the head space in the TCLP test jar, the effect of both soluble iron and copper on the formation of soluble mercury is evident from the data in Table 2, below. As the head space volume increases, the amount of soluble mercury increases in response to the formation of increasing amounts of soluble copper and iron.

When a complexing agent is added to the t solution, the formation of soluble mercury is reased as shown in Table 3, below.

Table 3 shows examples if complexing agents which have been added to the TCLP extraction to study the effect upon leachable mercury. The first entry is a control showing the amount of leachable mercury generated when the pulverized lamp is dosed with 20 mg of elemental mercury. The leachable mercury generated in that case is 745 ppb in the absence of any complexing agent. The complexing agent can be incorporated in the lamp by encapsulation of the material in a glass capsule that can be placed either in the base of the lamp between the aluminum cap and flare of leaded glass, or placed within the positive column of the lamp. Since the complexing agent is enclosed in a glass capsule it could be present in the inside or positive column of the lamp without affecting lamp function.
The complexing agent material can also be incorporated in the basing cement of the lamp that holds the aluminum cap to the leaded glass portion of the end of the lamp. The basing cement generally comprises about 80 weight % marble flour (limestone-CaO), and the balance shellac a phenolic resin binder, a solvent for blending, and a dye used to color the cement. The cement is dispensed through a feeder into the base and heated to cure once assembled with the lamp. Curing drives off the solvent and solidifies the cement. The complexing agent is blended with the cement components and incorporated into a lamp manually or by automated manufacturing equipment. The complexing agent is released only when the lamp is destroyed or crushed in preparation for TCLP testing. In this method the active scavenger material is always exterior to the positive column of the lamp.
Another method for incorporating the active complexing agent material in the lamp structure is to admix it with an inert water soluble adhesive carrier or binder. Gums and gelatins have been used as such adhesives and binders. The nature of the gums and gelatins is that they adhere to surfaces when heated. The composition containing the complexing agent material can be placed on the inner surface of the aluminum end cap as a ring or discrete button. When the lamp is crushed and exposed to an aqueous environment or placed in the TCLP solution, the water soluble binder allows the complexing agent to be released quickly.
The ability of sodium gluconate and related complexing agents to inhibit formation of soluble mercury in the TCLP test is shown by the data in table 4, below.

Chelating agents are incorporated into the lamps or test solutions in an effective amount. An effective amount is that amount which will result in less than 200 parts per billion (0.2 ppm) of leachable mercury. The effective amount of any complexing agent for any amount of mercury per lamp can easily be determined by routine dose response data. Table 5, below, shows dose response data in parts per million of leachable mercury for several complexing agents and a range of amounts of complexing agent. The amount of mercury metal was 20 mg per lamp. The TCLP tests were carried as described above. About 0.2 to about 3 grams, and preferably about 2 grams, of complexing agent per lamp is generally effective to control the formation of soluble mercury within regulatory limits.

A Student Environment Model: a Measure of Institutional Effectiveness
Date: May 1995
Creator: Morris, Lucille Darline
Description: In a rapidly changing environment of growing competition for limited resources and ever increasing operational costs, institutions of higher education must focus on all aspects of the organizational functions to insure institutional effectiveness and the maximization of student success. This study will use a Student Environment Model (SEM) to assess students' perception of their college environment outside of the formal classroom at a unique two year technical college. The information obtained is used by the administration of Texas State Technical College Waco (TSTCW) to make appropriate adjustments in programs, services, or policies when the student data indicates that change or improvement is needed. While the SEM provides an indication of the students' "image" of the college environment, it can also provide indicators of areas which need improvement or require change. Applying the SEM information to decision making, problem solving, and planning will allow the institution and its people to move toward higher productivity and continuous quality improvement.

Creator: Karbon, Patrick J. (Patrick Joseph)
Description: Under investigation in this study was the effect of ASE certification of automotive technician training programs and other selected factors on ASE test outcome and job placement rate. This research ponders whether the time and money invested in certifying technician training programs is returning desired improvements in this automobile manufacturer's dealer service staff. The study focussed on technicians employed at Chrysler dealerships around the United States. The 2 samples totalling 387 males between the ages of 22 and 30 were drawn from 1,007 graduates of automotive technician training programs. Technicians that completed a formal training program beyond the high school level certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) were compared to others whose training was not certified by ASE. Comparisons were made on the basis of ASE Automobile Technician Test scores and on the length of time from training program completion to employment. This research sought to identify the significance of association between three main predictors - the status of training program ASE certification, work experience and year of training program completion - and the most desirable levels of ASE test outcome (at or above 90% on the ASE test) and job placement rate (immediately following completion ...

Prediction of High School Dropouts and Teen-Aged Parents from Student Permanent Records
Date: August 1995
Creator: Foster, Edward C., 1946-
Description: Research has reported that a predictive link exists between socio-economic risk factors and high school dropouts, including teen-aged parents. Educators have little control over socio-economic risk factors. However, school records and classroom performance data can point to in-school risk factors. The purpose of this study was to help all students by using the in-school data to pinpoint the indicators that predict potential student achievement difficulties in specific areas of curricula. This study was an anteriospective longitudinal study of the 1995 graduating class of a suburban school district composed of approximately 920 seniors. The sample consisted of 344 graduates, 114 dropouts, and 42 teenaged parents. Backward stepwise logistic regression analysis was the statistical method used for model building. An analysis was done by gender at the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th grades from the permanent records of sample students. The study found that significant predictors exist at each grade level and are different for each group, grade level, and gender with some predictors in common: language arts and attendance. The most consistent male dropout predictors were found to be absenteeism, grades in language arts, spelling, and achievement test scores in language arts. The most consistent female dropout predictors were found to ...

Using regression analysis to investigate relationships of ASVAB selector composites to end-of-course grades for students in aircraft maintenance training programs in the Air Force
Date: December 1995
Creator: Byrd, John L. (John Luclon)
Description: Aircraft maintenance training programs in the Air Force have evolved from an almost exclusively mechanical orientation to one that is largely electronic. The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) with its four selector composites (Mechanical, Administration, General, and Electronic) has been in use for over 20 years. The mechanical (M) composite score is used to identify those who will be trained in aircraft maintenance.

The Effects of Computer-Assisted Instruction on the Achievements and Attitudes of Private Postsecondary Vocational-Technical Students in a Supplementary English Course in Thailand
Date: May 1996
Creator: Maneekul, Jarunee
Description: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of normal instruction supplemented by the computer-assisted instruction English program Grammar Game on achievement and attitude scores of vocational-technical students in Thailand. The experimental design was a 2 x 2 factorial ANOVA design. One hundred seventy-eight students at the Lanna Polytechnical College in Thailand were randomly selected from the population of 10 classrooms. Four classes were intact groups, with two classes randomly assigned to the experimental groups which received Lecture/CAI and the other two as control groups which received Lecture. The 89 students in each group were divided into high- and low- ability, based on their previous English scores. Subjects received treatment for nine weeks. Pre-test and post-test instruments on achievement and attitude were administered to both groups. The Statistical Analysis System (SAS), and the General Linear Model (GLM) package computer program yielded the MANOVA results. Based on data analysis, the findings were as follows: (1) There was a significant difference between the students in a Lecture/CAI English program and the students in a Lecture English program when they were compared simultaneously on the achievement and attitude scores, F(l, 176) = 18.97, p < .05. (2) There was no significant ...

The Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) Test Scores as Predictors of Academic Success of First-Year Clarendon College Students
Date: August 1996
Creator: Anglin, James William
Description: The problem in this study was to determine the relationship between the scores on the three parts (reading, writing, and mathematics) of the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills Test (TAAS) and the academic success of first-year students at Clarendon College, Clarendon, Texas. High school grade-point average and gender were also included in the study. The purpose of the study was to develop an equation to predict first-year college grade-point average at Clarendon College . The predictor variables were the three parts of the TAAS Test (reading, writing, and mathematics) , high school grade-point average, and gender. The equation was developed through multiple correlation/multiple regression multivariate procedures. All statistical analyses were calculated through sub-programs of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study was limited to using only 1992/1993 Texas high school graduates who had entered Clarendon College in the fall semesters of 1992 and 1993 directly following high school graduation. A search of Clarendon College records produced 115 students from these groups who fully met all standards defined for the study. Two predictor equations were developed. One developed through a simple regression command included all five predictor variables. The second equation was produced through a stepwise procedure. This ...

Impact of Training on the Information Technology Attitudes of University Faculty
Date: August 1998
Creator: Gilmore, Elizabeth L. (Elizabeth Lee)
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether training had an impact on the information technology attitudes of university faculty. The study was twofold. First, it sought to determine whether training changed attitudes toward information technology among faculty at a small, liberal arts university. Secondly, a group of faculty at a similar university was used to compare the differences in attitudes toward information technology among faculty who had received training and those who had not. The research population consisted of 218 faculty from these two universities. The literature review focused on obstacles to information technology use by faculty, instruments currently available for measuring faculty attitude, methods used in training faculty to use information technology, and integration of information technology by faculty.

Just what the world needs.... another inadequately discoverable journal! The number of medical journals is doubling every 20 years - and trials are scattered across so many, that it is becoming ever harder to track them down. Just how many journals do you need to read?, blogs Paul Glasziou. Richard Smith and Ian Roberts argue that trials shouldn't even be published in journals any more.
[Update 12 April 2016] Salima Punja studied meta-analysis of n-of-1 trials for her doctoral dissertation (here). Together with colleagues, she's incorporated n-of-1 trials with RCTs in a meta-analysis and concludes it improved the result. That study is here.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Cadillac SRX
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
The Cadillac SRX is a stylish, sophisticated 5-passenger crossover SUV that has helped the luxury brand reach younger buyers. Though the SRX is now four years into its current generation, it still competes well against rivals such as the Lexus RX, BMW X3 and Audi Q5. While not as athletic as the BMW or as comfortable as the Lexus, the slightly larger Cadillac SRX comes standard with a powerful (but rather thirsty) V6 engine, impressive safety features and loads of technology based around its CUE touch-screen infotainment system. Add in chiseled looks and a competitive starting price, and it's easy to see why the SRX is one of Cadillac's best sellers.
If you want an upscale 5-passenger SUV with a powerful engine, sleek styling, high-tech features, and a manageable size, the 2014 Cadillac SRX deserves a look.
With fuel economy only reaching 24 mpg, the SRX isn't the most-efficient. The Acura RDX attains 28 mpg despite also having a V6, and the BMW X3's turbocharged 4-cylinder also reaches 28 mpg while feeling more athletic. If you need extra room, the comparatively priced 7-passenger Infiniti QX60 or Acura MDX make more sense.
Other than the availability of 18-inch chrome wheels, new color choices and the Intellibeam automatically controlled high-beam headlights, the 2014 Cadillac SRX remains much the same as last year's model.
On both highways and canyon roads, the 2014 SRX is a competent companion. At around 4,300 pounds or more, it doesn't feel as quick or nimble as a BMW X3,...
... but the Cadillac offers a good balance of agility and the comfort for which this brand is known. The 308-horsepower V6 that arrived for duty two years ago does a good job getting the SUV up to speed and is a big improvement over the SUV's past powerplants. The speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion system used on higher trims of the SRX gives this midsize SUV a sportier feel and offers good road feedback. If you routinely drive on snow-covered or slick roads, consider the all-wheel-drive (AWD) option offered on all but base trims. The system improves traction with the ability to shift power to wheels with the best grip.
Today's vehicles are safer and smarter than some of us ever could have imagined. One prime example is the SRX's ability to not only detect an imminent low-speed collision when moving forward or in reverse, but to alert the driver and then, if necessary, intervene by stopping the vehicle.
In addition to the Bose audio systems that are standard in the 2014 SRX, Cadillac's crossover SUV comes with Bose Active Noise Cancellation. The system works to hush outside sounds by monitoring them via three microphones, then generating counter signals that essentially cancel out the unwanted noise.
The SRX's cabin is thoroughly modern, and then some. Last year's introduction of the CUE infotainment is something of a double-edged sword. With its touch-sensitive 8-inch display, the system is sophisticated, but requires a steep learning curve to operate when driving. The front seats are roomy, though the 3-passenger rear seat can be tight for taller adults. Behind the folding and reclining rear seat is about 30 cubic feet of cargo space. That's less than a smaller SUV like the Honda CR-V, but ample for all but the biggest shopping splurges. The UltraView sunroof does a good job giving the cabin an airy feel.
Athletic and attractive are just two ways of describing Cadillac's crossover SUV. The SRX's sense of style is highlighted by angular sheet metal and a stylish – but visibility-hampering – sloped roof. Prominent creases rise along the sides from just aft the front wheels to below the rear windows, conveying a sense of momentum. The power lift gate – standard on all but base models – is an arm-saver. Twin tailpipes and large, 18- or 20-inch wheels round out a package well-suited for a young executive.
In base form, the 2014 SRX offers a decent set of standard features, but spending around $5,000 more and stepping up to the Luxury trim brings a lot more. Base models come with an 8-speaker Bose sound system with dual USB inputs and Bluetooth streaming, and dual-zone auto climate control. Leatherette is the upholstery in base models. Stepping up to the Luxury trim brings real leather, a panoramic sunroof, a power liftgate, a rear backup camera, keyless access, and blind-spot monitoring, which is a big help on crowded roads. The top-end Premium trim adds 10-speaker Bose audio, navigation, a ventilated driver's seat to keep your rump cool, and safety features like lane-departure warning.
AWD can be had on all but base models of the 2014 SRX. Other options vary by trim. Among them are the Driver Assist Package that includes the automatic braking feature and adaptive cruise control. Other goodies of note include a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system with wireless headphones, Safety Seat Alert (it alerts the driver to a potential collision by vibrating the seat), and a pet cargo partition to accommodate Fido.
The 2014 SRX uses a direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 that makes 308 horsepower, a stout amount for this class and a number that tops most rivals. Unlike some luxury competitors, the SRX does not require premium gasoline, and the driver-selectable Eco mode is said to slightly improve efficiency by changing transmission shift points. For 2014, the SRX is no longer E85 compatible. All Cadillac SRXs employ a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the SRX's standard format, with all-wheel drive optional. Towing capacity is 3,500 pounds. The SRX's powertrain warranty runs six years or 70,000 miles. Another nice perk is Cadillac's standard Premium Care Maintenance program, which covers services such as oil changes for four years or 50,000 miles.
3.6-liter V6
308 horsepower @ 6,800 rpm
265 lb-ft of torque at 2,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 mpg (front-wheel drive), 16/23 mpg (AWD)

"I've had this car for close to two years and I love everything about it except for a few minor things. One, the radio comes on when you put the navigation system on and you have to turn it down if you don't want to listen to it. Turning it off turns off the nav system. The other is that the pop-up screen for the back-up camera sometimes takes its sweet time popping up. I've had to wait about 5 seconds for the stupid thing. The 3.0 liter engine has sufficient power for me and the 6 speed automatic shifts flawlessly and, you don't need to change the transmission oil every 30,000 miles like you do with a CTV tranny. It also runs on regular gas. My overall fuel economy according to the on-board computer is 18.4 MPG over the time I've had it. That's on par with my previous vehicles, a Toyota Sienna and Nissan Murano. It rides well and is almost as agile as the Murano but the seats are very firm. My wife complains about their hardness. All in all, this vehicle ranks among the best I've had and I would recommend it to all of you who drive sanely. If you're cruising the NJ toll roads between toll booths, it may not have the get-up-and-go you'll need. But if you're in small town America, this is the car for you."

"First American car I have owned in over 30 years. Bought mostly Japanese vehicles: (Lexus, Acura, Infinity)in the past. On a suggestion from a friend who owns one, I took a test drive and bought it. Very impressed with the ride,, (better than imports), the build quality has been good and the regular gas feature is GREAT ! Love the design, and have many comments about how good the car looks. Would buy another one without hesitation."

"Cornering ability in the SRX is surprisingly good, even at high speeds -- not top heavy at all. There is more then enough power in the 308 hp engine to make a speed freak smile. It is comfortable for even tall people. I am 6'3" and can wear a panama hat while driving. I am so satisfied with this car that I am sad they are ceasing to build it. We have a 2015 and a 2012, both totally worry free, great to drive and safety is a premium extra for us."

"Though the SRX performs nicely, very sturdy solidly built giving one the sense of safety. However, fuel economy is poor for this type of vehicle. Access is very poor but comfortable seating once you get seated, if you can live with the lack of space. The CUE system is not easy to use, and we are having intermittent issues with the screen blacking out. For the price there are better options out there."

"Lindsay Fuller and The Cheap Dates evoke shimmering highway roadside hazes. Broken dreams that give way to new hopes, defiant but fragile. Quite bloody promising."
"Fuller is a feisty piece of work coming across like a collision between Lucinda Williams and Johnny Cash with Nick Cave as an innocent bystander caught in the chaos. She has a full-bodied, hell-bent approach to her songs."
"Lindsay Fuller is anything but generic. The Seattle transplant uses her deep-South upbringing as inspiration for brooding folk songs about love, loneliness, and small-town life—perfect for someone whose voice is as gritty and affecting as hers. Girl's got soul—albeit a heavy one.

Well-constructed approach key to digital-era federal operations
The Defense Department is close to laying out an enterprisewide social-networking policy, according to one DOD official who expects a final meeting this month for the team negotiating that strategy.
Responsible utilization and joint ethical standards are driving the establishment of an official DOD social-media policy, said Defense Deputy Chief Information Officer Dave Wennergren. A review weighing the benefits and risks of using social-networking technology was expected to be released months ago, but the department so far has remained mum on formal departmentwide guidelines.
"The Internet has happened, and we are hopelessly wedded to it," Wennergen said, stressing the need for a cautious and balanced approach to forming policy. "We need to look at this as Internet-based capabilities rather than just social networking. This is more than just for 'quality of life' [for deployed soldiers]. These tools are for broader use than people realize," he said.
Social networking has yielded the ability for mass collaboration across agencies and non-federal entities, and is integral to modernizing federal operations and mobilizing information sharing, Wennergren said.
Still, a cohesive and comprehensive social-media strategy is just part of the "democratization of data," Wennergren said, adding that successful modern federal operations in the digital age hinge on six key points:

The War That Never Ends: New Perspectives on the Vietnam Warby David L. Anderson

More than three decades after the final withdrawal of American troops from Southeast Asia, the legacy of the Vietnam War continues to influence political, military, and cultural discourse. Journalists, politicians, scholars, pundits, and others have used the conflict to analyze each of America's subsequent military engagements. Many Americans have observed that Vietnam-era terms such as "cut and run," "quagmire," and "hearts and minds" are ubiquitous once again as comparisons between U.S. involvement in Iraq and in Vietnam seem increasingly appropriate. Because of its persistent significance, the Vietnam War era continues to inspire vibrant historical inquiry.
The eminent scholars featured in The War That Never Ends offer fresh and insightful perspectives on the continuing relevance of the Vietnam War, from the homefront to "humping in the boonies," and from the great halls of political authority to the gritty hotbeds of oppositional activism. The contributors assert that the Vietnam War is central to understanding the politics of the Cold War, the social movements of the late twentieth century, the lasting effects of colonialism, the current direction of American foreign policy, and the ongoing economic development in Southeast Asia.
The seventeen essays break new ground on questions relating to gender, religion, ideology, strategy, and public opinion, and the book gives equal emphasis to Vietnamese and American perspectives on the grueling conflict. The contributors examine such phenomena as the role of women in revolutionary organizations, the peace movements inspired by Buddhism, and Ho Chi Minh's successful adaptation of Marxism to local cultures. The War That Never Ends explores both the antiwar movement and the experiences of infantrymen on the front lines of battle, as well as the media's controversial coverage of America's involvement in the war. The War That Never Ends sheds new light on the evolving historical meanings of the Vietnam War, its enduring influence, and its potential to influence future political and military decision-making, in times of peace as well as war.

Posted by a Medical Malpractice client
Working with Roger Castle for over two years as he diligently represented me in a medical malpractice case gave us the opportunity to watch a true professional at work. His years of legal experience and knowledge never faltered, keeping our confidence level high as he educated and guided us through the tedious legal process. Roger's passion for justice sided with his compassion for myself and husband as clients, led us to a very successful settlement. Roger comes highly recommended!
Posted by a Personal Injury client
Excellent job of settling out of court situation involving major injuries to my wife in an auto accident. Achieved settlements totalling $340, 000 before attorney fees and what turned out to be very modest operational fees. Very professional, responsive, and incredibly detail oriented. His years of experience obviously are a major strength for his practice.
Posted by a Lawsuits & Disputes client
Roger is one of the sharpest, best lawyers I know. I would not hesitate to use him again and to recommend him to anyone. He sucessfully defended me in a bogus lawsuit involving the sale of my second home to a disgruntled buyer.

All the Rest Lyrics
Artist: Stiff Little Fingers
Album: And Best of All...Hope Street
(Jake Burns/Steve Grantley)
He's drinkin' supermarket cider
In a doorway in the town
And he's shouting 'bout the government
And how they let him down
He's got a sister lives in Brixton
Always tried to do her best
Yet she winds up broke and shafted
Just the same as all the rest
He's got a torn and greasy greatcoat
And a New York Yankees vest
And some strongly held opinions
That he must get off his chest
Yet his friends don't think about him
They all gave him up for dead
And they all got real embarrassed
About the problems with his head
Shout it out! (Shout it out with me)
Shout it out! (It's a mystery)
Shout it out! ('cause what I can't see)
Why he's invisible to them
Yet so obvious to me
He make his home in cardboard boxes
And the pigeons are his friends
And you cross over to avoid him
Never try to make amends
For the way that he's been treated
And we all must share the blame
And we never look him in the eye
And never ask his name
I thought we were past this stage
Never in this day and age
These things are still going on
Tell me where did we go wrong
I thought we had changed for good
Maybe I misunderstood
Does our new and caring nation
Only care for politicians
Those that have will all do well
All the rest can go to hell
(Chorus x2)

We are trying to get our .NET devs to use the ASP.NET Development Server (VS2008) for web development instead of a local instance of IIS.
I received this response as a reason why some of our devs can't use it: "Our XXXX Online Sales application uses SSL to protect passwords. While Visual Studio does permit some basic web application development without IIS, the light weight replacement does not support SSL."
Does this make sense? Is there a work-around?
